You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertar Show with the Stugat Sputcast. We touched on this last week when the reports came out towards the end of last week that Taylor Swift had turned down an opportunity to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. Makes sense. Arguably, the biggest music artist going right now hugely profitable tour at or mere her peak, don't want to one account or short. I mean, it still is plenty to go. But and it's in line with the recent efforts that the Super Bowl halftime show is made, which is more contemporary acts after getting a lot of guff for older nostalgia acts year after year.

How long they go with the older stuff? They went the who, what else they do? Who was basically the tipping point? I think they did Bruce, they did Tom Petty and the heartbreakers, which was actually one of my favorite hal-time shows ever. And I think, what was it, it might have been the who? That was the last one. That was the tipping point. They didn't look as hard on me. Yeah, they did you two, you know, one, and it just, it was the thing. The Super Bowl half-time show was always an older act.

And people became disinterested, and they decided to get more contemporary acts. And that's the place that we've occupied here where it's basically hottest pop act, be it Katy Perry, be it Rihanna, like they're going to go with that. And even in a couple of years, maybe we'll look back on no insult to Katy Perry, but even now it's kind of weird that Katy Perry was at a level that she had lined a Super Bowl halftime show and that's what you risk when you just go all contemporary. I don't mind it. Lady Gaga, Rihanna Lassier, I've enjoyed the contemporary pop-ax,

but I'd like a mixture of it. And the efforting to get Taylor Swift, well, I get it, she's so gigantic, her and Beyonce occupy this super stratosphere that you almost have to make an effort there. And I think Taylor Swift and the report coming out was basically all the parties knowing that they had to at least make the offer. Otherwise they'd be dragged on social media by her fan base by other people. So you have to make it at least appear that you made an honest effort there.

And Taylor, I think, did the NFL a solid by turning it down because it would have been a ticketing nightmare. Given what we know about Taylor Swift tour and ticket master and all the issues that they've run into, can you imagine if Swifties and corporate football partners and football fans alike collided trying to get these tickets? That would have been awesome. Like a fourth quarter of the stadium's empty because it was all Swifties at the game. They all had things like, nah, we're good.

Or like at the middle of the third quarter, everyone's just seeing, we'll never ever get back together. Like that would be amazing. It's probably for the best for all parties that they at least let's let this thing cool down a little bit, maybe not while she's actively touring, maybe when we want to start it back up. But all the other backup options

occupy the same kind of pop culture spot. It's been reported that Miley Cyrus is now in the mix prior to her latest controversy. I read that. Lizzo was in the mix. You can take beds. You can take bets on this. You can take bets and there's action on it. And there is one act that I would love to see headline the Super Bowl halftime show that seems like such a slam dunk. All right. Let's say it at the same time. One, three, two, one, two, three. The kill, Lumen. Oh. Why not Drake? I love the killers, but why not Drake? Drake is a good option,

but the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas. Sam's town. And this is the first, this is the first Super Bowl that's ever happening in Las Vegas. And I do like when they kind of tie in the host city to the story to the halftime show. And the killers are when they kind of tie in the host city to the story and to the halftime show. And the killers are one of the rare rock bands that has mass appeal. Yep. You're one of the few remaining actual rock bands, right? Mr. Brightside is I think 20 years old. And it's as popular as it's ever been. It's one of the biggest songs ever. It's basically a generation sweep Caroline. And it's a huge monster track.

They're this active touring band. They're constantly making new music. Right leading man. Great front man. It's relatively ignored when the only time they really ever pay attention to rock music and the Super Bowl halftime shows when it's been a nostalgia act. The work a couple of years away from maybe the killers being considered a nostalgia act for some they may

already be there and It'd be a really cool cap off to a wonderful career not writing them off They also have plenty in front of them, but it would just be so natural every it would make I think Generally everybody happy. They're in offensive. They could also mix yes You can have some cameos in there and they because I I mean, they're rocked on their, they're poppy, right? They've done that before where the Red Hot Chili Peppers joined a Bruno Mars halftime. I'm saying the killers lend themselves to that.

They'd be fine mixing with the cameo here. They're like that. It is such a perfect act for Las Vegas. And they've been doing it for so long. They have so many hits and they're carrying the band of for rock music and a genre of music and an age group that's largely been ignored recently when it comes to booking these Super Bowl halftime shows. It seems to be a huge slam dunk and yet it's not even being considered when it's in

Las Vegas. I couldn't agree with you more in particular because the killers are a band that headlines festivals a lot of the time so they're used to playing this type of environment where they're playing to a massive crowd that you know what maybe 90% of the time, so they're used to playing this type of environment where they're playing to a massive crowd that, you know what, maybe 90% of the people aren't here to quote unquote see us specifically, but we have the hits that will carry it forward and they have, they're one of those bands that has so many more songs than you realize you know all the words to like there are so many great killer songs and like you guys mentioned with them being from Las Vegas, you could bring in all of those other Las Vegas acts that they could potentially play to. It makes

so much sense and it differs from what these last number of shows have been. The last band, quote-unquote, to play one of these Super Bowl events was Maroon 5. And like the killers, that was missing the Marvel. Completely where the killers do the opposite. the awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful.

The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful.

The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The awful. The think there was a stunt show once. I think there was an Indiana Jones stunt show that was a Super Bowl halftime show.

It's actually a relatively new phenomenon. The big production of a Super Bowl halftime show. I think when the Patriots and Greenvade Packers played, it was the Blues Brothers. It wasn't this huge marquee act, but we've gotten in there and it's become the staple of the Super Bowl recently and it's a good pop culture moment. I'm with all of that. And I think that the killers

are the rear rock band that can actually make it work, that can, that can be validated in that slide. Or we combine the two, bring in the magician, right? Taylor Swift does a song, boom, make her disappear. Yeah. And then the killers come on, and you kind of levitate them while they're performing. I think that would be the most amazing half time act of all time. That would be killer. No. Beyonce is on the betting lines as well. And Beyonce just recently did this.

Yeah. I don't want her again. I think it's as we love her. If you, I love Beyonce and I'm sure she'd knock it out the park, but I'm also not ready to just bring that right back. Right. I think that there should be a, you should not be able to do back-to-back half-time shows.

You should not be able to do a half-time show within 10 years. There's only one of those gigs every year. And I like that sometimes it tells the story of music at that point in time, but there comes a time where it should be a career achievement, especially when it's in that Axe hometown. Okay.

It is a natural, Taylor Swift can headline the Nashville Super Bowl. When they inevitably build their new stadium that's publicly funded, they did that in an effort to get Super Bowls. She should absolutely headline that Super Bowl and that should be her Super Bowl. I will say hometown for Vegas is kind of tough. You've got a bunch of celebrities that have residencies there. The killers and Vegas, because you think of Vegas and You've got a bunch of celebrities that have residencies there. They're like, the killers and, and, and, and,

because you think of Vegas and you think of a bunch of celebrities. I'm, and I think of all celebrities going there, you know, for, for, for their own to, to celebrate, to have a good time. But honestly, why not Drake? Why has that not been a discussion? Is he not even considering that?

And you talk about career achievements. Like, this man is the most popular artist, probably more than Taylor Swift. When you consider like everybody that listens to him, I just saw a video the other day of golfers, international and American finishing Drake lyrics like, I don't think they can do that. I don't know if we have that sound, but I don't know if everybody can do that to Taylor Swift.

I'm not saying that Drake shouldn't headline a Super Bowl halftime show. I'm saying that this is the killer's one shot at the night. They only, they can only do it in Vegas. That's the only thing that's shot at the night. They can only do it in Vegas. It's the only place where it makes sense because you can make the Drake argument in any other town and I'd fold. It's a good argument. He's got mass appeal. He's this record setting artist. That's what the Super Bowl is known for. but there's two rock bands from Las Vegas. And the other rock band has even more mass appeal and you don't want to imagine dragons on that wall.

And I'm sure Brandon Flowers is thinking, if you guys are here with me, I can make you smile like you mean it. And I should be rewarded for all these things I've done. Yeah. I've been told that painting at the disco is also from Las Vegas. They just did the thing where they announced a break up. It's a break up to make up, which is what a lot of bands are doing right now. We're going to take some time off just a moment.

We'll come back. We can capitalize more because if you keep it going, it's hard to convince people that it's a big deal. I think killers are right there on the precipice of maybe being this stadium rock band, the way that Coldplay became, the way that you two is, the way that Red Hot Chili peppers just graduated into, it's hard for a rock band to become a stadium act. Even the Red Hot Chili peppers stadium tour, they needed acts like the strokes. They really built out that card.

This can help them get there. And every killer's concert I've ever been to. I've gone into whether it be at a festival or when they're touring. I'm like, I've seen them a million times. Do I really need to see the killers again? They're kind of got super popular and they're not the band that they once were. And every time I go to a killer show, I have the best time. I'm singing every song at the top of my lungs. I'm surprising myself at how much I know about them. They put on such a great show that it's no shame about it. McKillers fan, they put on great shows, give them this moment, they deserve it.

Greg of all the bands, dead or alive, but let's probably stick to the dead, that's of the alive, rather, who would you want to see at the halftime show? Wow. You know, as you were talking about the killers, you had to sell me on the idea because I'm not a huge killer's fan. You know, other than Mr. Brightside, I don't know if I could name three other, other songs.

And Bitchie can. Well, I might hear it and go, oh yeah, I know that song. And not even- Somebody told me you'd be able to. I'm not a soldier, I've got so, but I'm not a soldier. It's impossible.

You guys just like the killers, like Roy, how often do you have conversations about the killers? Oh no, they are. I would like to have seen Taylor Swift. I'm so bad, I'm not a soldier. I've got so that I'm not a soldier. I've got so that I'm not a soldier.

Circumcised and no nuts. Wow. That's a high pitch. That's so hard. I'd nail that. Didn't crack. You did. It's impressive.

Brandon, Brandon Uri, is that the panic at the disco? That's that's panic at the disco. Right. That's the lead singer. Right. Right. He is the most talented male artist out there right now. Brandon Uri.

Yes. I would absolutely vote for him. Should just do the halftime show. He's a talented guy. He's an amazing. His voice is amazing. It's actually been measured. He's got the highest range of anybody, the biggest range, largest range of anybody, any

male performer out there right now. That is a take. It's a take. Big range. Pete Buttigieg sort of ruined panic. They just go for a lot of people by using high hopes as a campaign. And then it was a really corny dance that went to it when TikTok was first starting. And I think it kind of turned everybody off from from Brett and Yuri, unfortunately.

All right. I'm going to answer your question. I would want to see some some iteration of Jack White perform at halftime. He's not big enough, man. I think he is. I think he's bigger than the killers. Absolutely not. I think he is. I think he's bigger than the killers. Absolutely not I think Jack. Why this is a new and unimproved and lebertar show with the stugas gamble on by draft Kings

Don lebertard, you know, you go to buy gas and it costs three 49.99 a a gallon just round all the numbers off We're getting rid of change in this country, round everything off, include the tax in the totals. Still gots. It's really hard to stop the gas tank at zero zero, isn't it? I know, it's like a game. Even when you're filling gas, it's really, it's always a one, a two, a four,

you get really frustrated, you try it again, you're trying to put more gas in the car, then the car allows you to put gas in. I mean, you can't stop at a two. You just gotta go up to the next step. I can't. Oh, you're doing it. Yeah, 98 more cents. I have to stop at either a zero or a five,

or else it's... We're on the pole. Are you bad at stopping at the zero at the gas station? I started intentionally stopping at O1 because then I get 99 cents put into my savings because it rounds up to the next dollar. So, what? 99 cents savings

just like that. DCC Don LeBatars Show with this Tougat! Is he a couple of weeks from move from saying that we go to that hard-known workout too much? I know and this is the interesting part like I'm not even trying. We're not even trying with Greg and And he's walked into a tent. I did try that one time. One time. I tried the first time.

I couldn't avoid the temptation, given the subject matter. I won't done it. But it's just, it's the approach that Greg takes. He looks too quickly at the people across the screen, across the glass, and he doesn't look up at the clock. He looks at the clock last second and he's already getting horned.

And so, yeah, you've got to work on your technique, you've got to look up and then back down. Well, there needs to be a clock like right in front of me. We've done this before, do you remember how? There was a clock literally on that door. You would have been looking at this. Because I'm swiveling between looking at you guys and looking over here, but I rarely think to look up.

We all deal with that too. Everyone's doing it. We're all worried about the clock. We We all deal with that too. Everyone's doing it. We're all worried about the clock. We're all on mine. That's the situation. I mean, I'm not worried about the clock. That's a problem. Are you concerned about turning 69?

Is that part of the problem? We just want to skip over to 70. No. If you had the option, would you just get to 70? Maybe. The mydex. How much would you pay to go back to 60? How much would I pay? Probably a million bucks. So you got your solvent. You're solvent? Yeah. You're right. Good for you.

I'd probably probably. Were you solven? Were you cash solving at 60? Yeah, actually. Wow. Great. You know, I don't want the heralds paying you way too much. No, no, it's not. It's not the herald. It's my mom. Yeah. Yeah, allowance. I do.

I should get a little sugar mama. Yeah. What kind of lot is your wife practice insurance defense law? She's pro insurance company. If you slip at a mall, my mom will defend the insurance company that you're suing. Yeah. You know, perfect state for that.

You spill hot coffee on yourself and you sue McDonald's and she goes to court defending McDonald's because you're an asshole because of the year. Kind of like I said, whoa, whoa, hold a cup of coffee for crying out loud. Don't spill it on your screen. Wait, it's all perspective. But there's a lot of slip too. There, like, a lot of my mom's trials end with settlement. Like, people want $5 million and my mom gets them 200K. Yeah. That make her a good lawyer. She's great for the insurance company.

Yeah. They love them. Yeah. Settle them down to 200 K. Trust me, I like, I've talked to my mom about most people are genuinely seeking more than they deserve. Like my mom is not trying to screw people over. She's just, this is what I'm sure they work on either was just far five million dollars at 200 K the big gap. But what if you weren't actually hurt at that mall and you, you know, well, then you shouldn't even get there's like there's big stuff where you like they private investigators. Oh, I saw you at the park, you know, jump roping. And now you say your shoulder hurts. Like there's a lot of rope. A lot that goes into this is your mom higher private investigators to that. I've said too much already. PIs. I've said too much. No, I, more defense of the big corporations,

I think would be great, yeah, in terms of getting the people on our side. Well, I'm a boxer, I'd say, you know, these Amazon factories really aren't that bad. Who's fighting for Amazon? Hmm. Who's fighting for them? You're only 14 hours there.

I mean, that's what I think. Or isn't there enough for you? The million bucks. Well, am I alone? Like, in this room? I wouldn't have a million bucks. No, no, but it'd be weird if I went to six. You're asking me a theoretical question. I think most people who get to be as old as I am

would, if they were able to, would spend a million dollars to be 10 years younger. For a million dollars, you gotta give me back, like, you gotta give me back to at least my 50s, if I'm in your spot. You're bargaining, like, you're negotiating against yourself. You could have started. Does your life happen as it was in the 60s?

Like do you still get the benign mass? No, it's the new and improved me going back. Or are you aware that the benign mass is coming? And then that would be, imagine that's a big relief. Oh, that would be. Like family, I'm going to have two major life events are going to happen to me. Right. That otherwise would be scary, but's a big relief. Like family, I'm gonna have two major life events are gonna happen to me. That otherwise would be scary, but just know, it's benign. And also, I just fainted at that one time at highlight.

That's right. I just got life headed because I was coughing so much because of the benign. What a horrifying picture that came appeared in the highlight group chat of just, like minutes after that, the other thing, just Greg. The four of us, it was me, Mike Fuentes, and Woody standing behind my dad five minutes

after he just fainted. Somebody took a photo of that? Yeah, you're smiling. We posed for a photo with you. We took a family photo after. I tell you man, when I was supine. After Mike Fuentes and I rushed to your side as your son, who I think you go for back with,

I just stood back in horror, understandably so. But it was a little weird that the two mics were the ones to spring into action. Yeah, thank you both, appreciate that. I think I'm good at 46, I don't wanna go back 10 years. In fact, I would probably wait till I'm 55 and just kinda stay there.

Greg, you might wanna go to 55 because that's when you get all the perks. I would sell years of my life. Really? I would sell, I'd sell five to seven years of my life right now. This in the first half of my life. I like this bargain just how to child. I know I would sell it. I would sell it so that they'd be financially secure.

Oh, okay. So fast forward. You don't need to see the twos and threes and fours. You just need to see the kids. Well, they're in the queue years now. I would miss the queue years. I'm going to get right into the end. You would sell the years?

I can't be. You just need to see the kids. Well, they're in the queue years now. I would miss the queue years. I'm gonna get right into the end. You would decide to sell back into the years? The pioneers? I mean, if it's for a amount of money that I will not make working for 20 years, yeah, maybe. I would say, I'll take care of them. I'll take nine years of my life and just move into a 55 and older Margaritaville in Daytonaville.

Probably beautiful, Billy, that you're willing to sell off your prime years to set up generational wealth for your family. It's brave. I would probably be a little bit more selfish. No, I can't sell those years because I want to experience them with you. What if you were selling off like the back end years? Like if you knew you were supposed to live to 90,

how many of those years you sell off? 10, easy. 80 to 90. I'm not gonna be doing anything productive. I'd sell off my entire 80s. I'm confident I'm going to triple figures. I'm trying to get in with no one. Wow, and like walking when I'm that age. Are you rob low? Like'm trying to get a lot of things at like walking

when I'm that age. Are you Roblo? Like, what are we doing? You're gonna live to 110. There's no way. That is what I call that boat because we have a Roblo. I just call it the Roblo. Sorry, so I know.

I want every bit of this life. I wouldn't sell off any years. I want to experience, yeah, really. It isn't all public. It's not your face. It tells me you're just not very happy right now. Why wouldn't you just sell off this year? I'm not. I'm just like I'm gonna get this year. I come back next year and see how the ozemic worked. But there's a there's a lot to life that is actually beautiful and wonderful.

And I'd like to experience those beautiful parts. And yeah, there's a crap part at 110. Yeah, so I don't know what I mean, I think I have an idea of what's on the other side, but it's a good ride over here. So I'd like to stay here as long as possible. Please don't know what's, I mean, I think I have an idea of what's on the other side, but it's a good ride over here. So I'd like to stay here as long as possible. Please don't play this at my funeral. That'd be pretty sad. So speaking of funeral.

It's a mic put on my tombstone. I don't want to die. I'm very afraid of death. I don't want to die. It kind of made me think of what else. Talking to my sister about this the other day, because I don't know if I'm claustrophobic. I've got a little bit of claustrophobia to me, but the idea of, you know, dying and being in a box underground. Not really for me, okay?

The idea of dying and being burnt, not really for me. So what I want, Greg, and tell me if this is something that you think is possible. So, taxigermint, no, I want, you could go ahead and put me in a coffin, right? A little window in the coffin, in the corner, or maybe in the side. You can put a piece of paper, right? A little window in the coffin, in the corner, or maybe in the side, you can put a piece of paper

so you can't see into the coffin. I'm not trying to see people, have people looking at my decaying body, but I just want the note to say, hey, tear here if you can read this. Because who knows what could happen? Who knows what could happen? I would like to open that up and have a little window.

And so if you do that and put my coffin in like, I don't know what, a third level of something, and just leave me up there. Just leave me up there. Like a mausoleum? Yeah, I guess, sort of like an Egyptian thing, right? Like a whole deeper, like where the oversaw goes. But the important part is you need a window.

I need a window in my coffin just so I know when I die, hey, I'm not gonna be in this box. I'm gonna have a little view, maybe something to see if I need a window in my coffin just so I know when I die, hey, I'm not gonna be in this box. I'm gonna have a little view, maybe something to see if I need to. That's how I wanna, you know, that's how I wanna be laid to rest. And if my family does not respect that, I don't know what to do.

I'm just gonna have to outlive them. Haunt them. Greg, is that not a good idea? I want to view. Yeah, I think that's a pretty horrible idea. To be honest with you. Speaking of death, I'm being told that we have the photo now of what well now they're they said they'll be a get it in a second There on the street. There we go. Here we go. That's that's the the photo of Greg

You actually look better today that you look like that but granted you just not a good look. Why didn't you guys take a photo with him right after he fainted? It's a good work because we thought he was dead and then he was alive. And is that really great thing? Is that his pulse in the photo? Yeah, that's a nice little easer egg there that nobody else caught, is that I am actually checking Greg's pulse there. What's in my dead life?

Is that a bunch of cr- is that a bag of bunch of crunch in your hand? I think it might have been. We can have Bernice here. Oh my guys, that we're gonna never expect. Like you're gonna die and your kids are gonna drop penises on your face and laugh

and take pictures. Chris, 100% bought that shirt on Amazon. Chris Wittingham. And a bunch of crunch goes great in popcorn. If you've never gotten a bunch of... I'm a Reese's guy with popcorn. Really? I've done the peanut butter flavor with popcorn.

Greg, you stared death in the face and you came out the other side better. You look so much better now than you did back then? Lucy, you say Reese's. I say Reese's PCs and I know it's not right, but I still say it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's seen cultures ruining everything. The actual word of... I don't care.

Lucy's PC's. Reese's PC's I'm with you. Right. But yeah, a bunch of crunch. Reese's really peanut butter and popcorn. It's fantastic. So good. Huh, I've butter and popcorns. It's fantastic. It's so good. I've got to try that.

Anthony gets mad because like I don't want, he gets M&Ms and he doesn't want to put the M&Ms in the popcorn because he says, A, they melt a little bit and B, they come to the bottom of the bag. Wait, but you're pouring your Buncher Crunch in there? I put, for me it's always about the Buncher Crunch because. For me, it's a two-greech experience. It's popcorn into the mouth, candy, chasing it. No, that's unnecessary.

I chase with the candy. It's too much. And that's a good way to do it if you're going to do that. But the key with a bunch of crunches, it floats in there with the popcorn. Because it's got a very lightweight to it. Yeah. So you grab a handful, hey, maybe you're eating popcorn, but every once in a while you get like one or two bunch of crunch in there.

You don't know that it's coming. It's amazing. That photo of us all had highlight was in my fields, not just because it's a photo of friends hanging out with. We weren't, that was from the spring season. We weren't very good there, but highlight season is upon us. It's in a couple of weeks, and the excitement is palpable, and I just saw that Battle Court, which our Cessacy Ceyclone's competed

and won a previous championship in, is now available for wagering on draft king sports book. Well, I actually had a friend ask me, not a friend or relative, ask me if I, that can take them to a highlight game. Is it a game? It's a party. Yeah.

And they had no idea that you guys were owners, just completely random. And I'm like, I know the perfect guy. Yeah. When is opening night? You don't have to be there. Season starts what September 8th. I think this is Friday, September 8th. The chargers versus the renegades, the magic city front. Life's on my mini chargers are no idea. I know. Life's on my mini chargers. So the big, the big match of the early Friday, that's when they invite the public. The season you guys play on Monday. Yeah, we

play Monday. Devils versus cyclones. That's a big one. Yeah, that's where he mosfadal is the hot of Devils. And it's the battle of Douglas and Manu, the guy we took first overall and the guy we were thinking of taking first overall. So they don't let fans in on a Monday. No, you're not allowed to be there on on Mondays or Tuesdays when they play the other matches Fridays is when they invite the public to it. And it's basically the highlight version of Monday night football. It's a big deal. Big deal. Yeah, It's a huge deal. I think our first, what's our first Friday game? Is it a whole lot of players? It's such a big deal. Yeah. I got to look at the schedule. You don't play on Friday until the 22nd where you play the renegades. Yeah. Road game. It looks like we're, uh, so that's opening right? Plus 4.50 to win, win the league this year.

Now I don't bet on highlight. I'm an owner. I respect that. It's a very simple rule to not break I follow it but plus for 50 made me encourage we're the same price as the devils which I get a rule Yeah, you can't bet on it. I didn't know just make sure I love the highlight talk Billy Can we go win loss win loss for the rest of the season? Oh, I love to all right So game one devils versus cones. What do you guys think? This is Inu and on improved and levatar show with the Stugats. Gamble on by Draftkins. Darn levatar.

I think I'd like to know when I'm gonna die, because I sort of romanticized the idea of like living like you were dying. When you're on a countdown clock, imagine all the life experiences, like I could go skydiving or Rocky Mountain climbing. Stugats. Roy brings up a point though, like I could go skydiving or Rocky Mountain climbing. Still gots. Roy brings up a point. And so I can tell you, like Roy does bring up a point. Like you might be risking paralysis.

And that's a totally terrible. That's my best. Just totally terrible, my best. What if God forbid it says you could die in the car? Like me? What if it says a week though? Like or two days or a month? I don't want to know that.

Well, then you just love deeper and speak sweeter and give forgiveness to those that you've been denying. Some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying. Do you have more or is that it? No thank you guys for letting me go through that smoothly. VCC dan lebertar show with its two gods. So I didn't want to do the thing where I was just complaining about where the hells do gots is because, you know, it's where the hells do gots when Dan needs him. A lot of off time, right? Almost as much as yes.

But what I did decide to do is do his work for him. Because, oh wait, by the way, Greg, do you have it back in my day? I do not. Yeah, I didn't think so. So I decided to do his two gots his work for him and do, if, do you have it back in my day? I do not. Yeah, I didn't think so. So I decided to do two sets of works for him and do, if Mike sure can do it, I can have some observations. In this time for him to share his game notes, no one in the media will tell you what happened better

than my boat. Is he? Dan. I take it a long time. Just when you thought it was gone forever. Just when you thought that the Pablo Tori higher and a little dose of David Samson and the occasional parachute from Dominique Foxworth

would solve all the concerns you had about taking time off when you need to or leaving the show in good hands. Whenever it is that you decide to actually enjoy your life. Just when you're feeling good about leaving the show younger and smarter, that's when the crew introduced a segment called Roy's Top 5 Fonds. And Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it. A enormous fear about the future

of the Dan Levittar show with Stugots is back. You can add highway gothic to that list. Highway gothic, I will not- Still bro, shit, that's all that crap in there. Dan, in case you didn't listen. None of them had Sarif. All Sans Sarif. Got them right. Not a single hint of Sarif. Hey Roy, stop being a font racist. You know what the Y and Roy stands for Dan? It stands for Wise, LaGrade and

Fonts with Sarif. You Sarif Hader. Whoa! Sater. Speaking of Sater. Juju. Low key, the funniest dude on the show. Revealing that he was in a movie, the blindside, the movie, the blindside, and got to curse out Sandra Bullock's character as loodly as he wanted to. Salute to you, my mother fucking brother. I'm not certain what I did there, but I feel like I would have a good time cursing out Sandra Bullock. Top five famous people you'd love to curse out. Nevermind.

The O.L.I. is alone would be too long on that. Where was Papyrus? Not on there. However, I would like to be acknowledged as the creator of the O.L.I. I'm telling you, if Stuart here, he wouldn't remember any of it because he's on too many drugs. But I would tell you, we were in studio together. He was making a list without Dan, of course. And he said outside looking in, to which I responded,

OLI. And it was the most genuine reaction I've ever gotten from Stu. He said, oh, I like it. And he kept it forever. Billy, don't look at me crazy. I invented the O.L.I. He became a French chef. No, he doesn't like, I like you.

You have a French chef? Look it up. Where was display? Not on there. What? Display's legendary. You grew up with display. Nah, I decided not to go with it. Billy, find it. Look it up.

I know it was back in the ESPN days. Blah, blah, blah. Find it. The BCS started that. Take that. Because I gave it to them. Okay. Where is Cam Newton tweet font? Definitely not on there.

Watch out for the Mariners. Greg Cody. Who I recently learned was almost as big of a fan of Hardwood as I am. You were asked to help save Dan in a time of need. You had amazing talents like Pablo Torrey, Dominique Foxworth, John Weiner, and Fart Bear. All deferring to you for your occasional accidental comedic genius. And then, when lobbed up an absolute meatballs of listing your top five woods, not only does your impromptu top 5 include plie? But you don't include plie!

The most obvious of jokes and put morning wood in your top 5! Greg Cody, one of your original catchphrases on this decades long running show the Dan Levitard show with Stu gots is baby because you and your horny ass son can only think of sex and maybe sandwiches. And come up with Morning Wood. I know. Greg Cody, you and your producer, Yeti Blunk, recently premiered a song on the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. The song was about Greg Cody.

It was called, I'm a morning man. It implied that you prefer sex with Chris's lovely mom. Okay. In the mornings, one would assume that that act still requires wood in your bedroom. Morning, wood. That's a good point, isn't it? And you didn't come up with it. You're right.

For your top five woods. Come on up. Porni's son though, really? Greg Cody. Here's about as good as improvisation, at improvisation as your son Chris, is that pronouncing words exactly right. Your son Chris, who also shares your poor improv skills.

Your son Chris, who also believes that he can parlay those slight mispronunciations and poor improv skills into a successful stand-up comedy career. I'm not doing the beep anymore. Chris, whoa! The Stugatz is strong in you. Good levels, Roy. But the Brad Williams is small in you.

Dan, you know what the H and Chris dance for? Did you know there's an H and Chris? I did not. You know what the H and Chris dance for? Not Ha Ha. That's what the H and Ha Ha Clinton dick stands for. It's an ironic sentence. Speaking of Dicks.

Sorry, that was yesterday, nevermind. It was today too. Speaking of Dicks, sorry, that was yesterday. Nevermind. It was today too. Speaking of not funny, death, damn it, it's the worst. August 1st, 2023, we lost a gifted, generous, giant of a man, and Dan's brother, David. Dan Lebede. Staring right in my face during our South Beach sessions chat and not breaking down in the

slightest despite going through so many heavy emotions at that very moment. Talk about a poker face. A big round, fat poker face. By the way, I need to know if my South Beach sessions did better than Beto's. I need to know which one did better numbers. If I did better than Beto, I might run for president. This is awkward.

I don't know how Dan does it. Goes from super serious to splitting laughing with no pause. But I'm gonna try it by further addressing dance face Can we talk about how white that little circle is around his mouth now? Have you noticed it? Yeah, I know he's had a bad year I know he's been telling us basically every other segment since last football season But I think we know how the stress is manifesting itself He's going fully gray mouth first. I guess that makes sense for Dan But I think we know how the stress is manifesting itself.

He's going fully gray mouth first. I guess that makes sense for Dan, given how much gas he lets out. And also how much food he lets in. Because look, I've always assumed, is this a set that he's being honest when he talks about his food allergies? You're doing a set.

But that math ain't mathing. You're doing a set. But that math ain't mathing. Okay, sorry, Dan. I'm sorry, don't it, mouth. We love you. We miss you. We're working a salad. Sit down, set.

Mike Ryan Ruiz. I see you're still in the oversized shirt phase of your body. You're saving experience. This used to be an oversized shirt. Mike. Oh, it fits real well. You're be an oversized shirt. Mike, you're not fat. Yeah. Mike, you're loved and don't need to be sad. Look at these. Mike, best of luck on ozempic, I guess.

Mike, stop calling everyone dicks. Mike, stop calling soccer games fixtures. Speak American, man. You can't hate your Americannessness and your Latin-ness. You're the damn dirty demon. You have to play a shot. Mike, Beto did better. You used the acronym D.P.

When talking about soccer the other day. Had no idea, it meant designated player. I knew it didn't mean... Dam Patrick. Double play. So my mind went immediately to another DP, and then I didn't hear another word you said. 10-Day Tony.

A.K.A. 10-Hundred-Day Tony. A.K.A. The A.O. Police. Those folks offering you that plot of land in Georgia for $20,000 that you want to buy so badly because there's a dock or a dock option. Tony, those people are the ones with the business plan. What do you have? It's an imagination. A met tier. Imagination. We have two minutes and 30 seconds left. Your business ideas have as much depth to them as your top fives

Everybody this is wow this is meme If you do go through with it when it's world cup in there. I know a good wood guy a couple actually let me know Lucy Rodin. Oh, no, oh wow a few of my lesbian friends are Oh no. Wow. A few of my lesbian friends are patiently waiting to see if you graduate from BumbleBFF to something more, not saying you will or anyone on BumbleBFF will, but just wanted you to know some people are waiting. That's flattering.

Lucy, Smetty, me, and my partner Anthony recently spent a lovely Sunday afternoon together, and while I'll fight anyone who says anything bad about Smettie, I am officially on Team Smettie goes on too much vacation. She chose Ireland over Israel. She chose the Golden Dome over this Silver Dome. She chose the Catholics over Nagnostic, or whatever, who knows. That's cool.

I'll just hang out with Lehman. Side note, that is the coolest thing about Jess. She let Chris Cody rename her boyfriend no questions asked. That's right. And he had no complaints. No, that's right. And she runs with a classic Lehman. Some say I was good at improv that day. Maybe. Second coolest thing about Jess, her dog willow.

It's even wider than her and Leeman. Oh, one minute. White willow. White, white, white, white, white. She feels mean. 50 seconds. Thanks for saying I'm not fat though. Stu got's offering to buy Lewis and just offer him some cushy job so he can have Lewis through whatever he needs him to do.

Everyone in that room acted like it was a horrible idea. That's exactly what Dan did to Chris Cody. Wow. Isn't this the human trafficking you've been talking about all these years? Alright. Hey Roy. Hey. Have you found a friend with a serif yet? No.

Didn't think so. Also, Helvetica Ultra Light would like a word. Overrated. Thank you. Overrated speaking of hell. Art boss. Oh, Havotica.

Dan. Dan. Are Izzy's. Absurd. Izzy's. Observations. I was going to kind of wait until like the last couple of seconds, but now we have like 10 seconds just sitting here. How much of that fumble bother you, Chris?

I hate myself.
