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

This is the Don Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast.
Have we established what the hell Tony's talking about when he says where were you
games in NBA history?
Where were you games in NBA history?
Where are the where were you things in American history?
Space shuttle exploding, assassination attempts.
Washington's funeral.
First man on the moon.
So you're saying five.
You've got five. With some Ola sprinkling. Last night was not that. So you're saying five. You've got five.
With some oil eyes sprinkled in.
Last night was not that.
Lexington and Oxford.
Can't last night just be, it was really cool.
It was, you believe you, Luca.
Like Luca, that seemed genuine last night.
But it's not like a, I'm not going to remember last night
when like, I'm like, my grandkids, you'll never,
ah, Luca, he was, he got teary-eyed.
That's a tell your grandkids moment.
That's a completely separate list.
That's another list, exactly.
But that's a where were you.
No, it's the same list.
The tell your grandkids in a where were you moment
are the exact same thing.
Not even the most memorable thing that
happened in sports last week.
Thank you, Mike.
Messi?
Yeah, yeah.
Lionel Messi, doing great things,
coming back from a crazy aggregate deficit.
They lost the first leg at LAFC 1-0,
and then in the first 10 minutes of that game last night,
they went down 1-0, which not only put them behind
on aggregate 2-0, but it gave LAFC something
that Inter Miami hadn't had, which was a road goal.
So to win that game in advance of the semi-finals
of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, they needed to win that game against a good LAFC team 3-1.
And I know Messi catches some crap sometimes because his style, he walks around, what's
so hard?
Not last night.
96 minutes of that dude trying his damnedest.
All game long.
That dude cared last night and he put that team on his shoulders.
It was a wonderful game.
Honestly, hand to God, among the most fun soccer games
I've experienced.
Where were you game?
I was on my caption.
There was a where were you game.
That's a soccer though, that's a different list.
That's a completely different list.
You know I love soccer, I'm a soccer sicko.
This is a tell your grandkids game.
I'm a soccer sicko.
There's something about this competition in particular
which is really difficult for American teams to win.
It's been around since the 1960s.
It's really mattered here in the United States
for probably 30 years.
And famously, Mexican teams always win it.
It is really difficult to win this competition
because randomly you'll have something
that happened a couple of weeks ago,
which is, in Miami and your whole team,
you gotta go over to Jamaica and play on a rough pitch
and in weird conditions that you're not used to. It really challenges
those MLS teams. This one was an MLS team against an MLS team, no doubt. A good MLS
team against another good MLS team. I don't understand why he cared so much.
Doesn't that validate the naysayers that it's so palpable? It's like, oh, that's what that
looks like when it's like, you don't see that all the time. No, I understand.
And there was a really funny moment around like minute 94
where you're screaming at your TV.
What are you guys doing?
Just hold the ball.
There was like a three man weave of Jordi Alba,
Luis Suarez and Leo Messi is three on one.
And they're gassed.
They got nothing.
And in 2015, that would have like been a surefire goal.
In 2025, it's just hilarious to watch
when those guys are on fumes.
But the effort was there all night.
That is a massive undertaking.
Yeah, they get lucky with a handball in the box
that draws a pen.
Messi takes a brilliant pen against Hugo Lloris.
And that's in the 86th minute, though, right?
Yeah, no, and keep in mind, like, Messi had contributed.
He had scored on a free kick that they called back
because he took it too quickly. And he had scored on a free kick that they called back
because he took it too quickly.
And he had scored, he had assisted on a Luis Suarez header
because Suarez was a bit offside.
So he scored a wonderful goal,
a goal that few people in the planet can still do right now
with how he dribbled through traffic.
It was, this was what you wanted to see
when Leo Messi came over to the United States
was him put an MLS team just on his back and decide,
you know what, I'm that much better than everybody.
I'm not gonna let my team lose today.
It was awesome.
Can we talk, Greg, as a, I don't know why it is
you're leaning back from the microphone.
This would seem to be the Greg Cody wheelhouse
if he actually cared about the soccer
the way that he did in the 1800s when he covered the Fort Lauderdale strikers here in town in a stadium near the one where Messi the greatest in the world greatest
Ever plays now what Mike is saying there. It's not near it's the same spot
Very near there. It's moved. It's sunk since that incredibly near there right on it
So many are saying it's right on top of that area, but this is a game that prior to
Yesterday Greg you were arguing that this might arguably be the biggest game in inter-miamis history
I was because last year in this same tournament. It's a notable international tournament. I mean, it's not the World Cup
It's not it's a regional tournament. It's not one that was just microwave like the league's cup. It's a big tournament last year
They lost in this round. Now they're in the in the semi-finals. But I was leaning back
literally agreeing with and sort of nodding my head at what you were saying
about Messi. It's almost unfathomable to say because he's arguably the the most
famous athlete in the world. I think at this stage in his career he's
under regarded. He's taken for granted in a way.
How American sports fans think of Tom Brady and LeBron James, the examples of the ageless
wonder, that's Lionel Messi in soccer right now.
Well can I though, as we partake in watching the age of mastery here, the thing that Mike
is talking about, okay, wherever it is that soccer hasn't grabbed hold with America wherever it is that messy behind the paywall and Apple isn't showcasing this
the greatest genius you've ever seen in this sport for everybody when Mike talks
about the chemistry of two and three gas dudes who have played forever and can
manipulate the system because they're so much better
than these particular guys that even guess the three of them have the chemistry to be
like you guys who are aficionados. Oh look at the old guys doing the tricky things at
the end here that actually saved the season even though 96 minute is nuts Messi's got
to be exhausted. Oh he was dude he wasfully exhausted. They don't have the legs that they used to.
And MLS will rightfully catch a lot of crap. But it is an athletic league. There are big,
strong, fast dudes in this league that are faster than Messi. But I do agree with Greg
that Messi is under regarded right now because, as you'll see in international competitions
even next year, dollars and donuts, he's among the top
10, top 15 attacking players still on the planet right now. People are right to hold
against him that he's doing this presently in MLS. That being said, when he goes away
on international break and plays for his country, he is still the talisman for that. He is still
every bit the messy that we saw a year and a half ago. He is still the talisman for that. He is still every bit the messy
that we saw a year and a half ago. You can't say he's under regarded. I haven't really
seen a drop off in his form when he's healthy. You could say that, well, he's less available,
that isn't an ability, but he was just dynamite last night. And the thing that really jumped
off for a player that is often scrutinized about his effort level because of how he approaches the game I
would argue he's always been smart about it conserving his energy that was not
the case it was palpable the desperation and it's pretty cool because it's not
like we're yeah Sue gots will criticize him saying soccer is dead and there
might be people that only pay attention on the media side to have a go at him
for not winning this trophy but the fact, he's won two trophies already in
his two seasons down here in Miami. Quietly also, and Moss got asked about this, there
is ambiguity surrounding whether or not he's going to be back with a team next year. Horay
Moss is being asked these questions. His contract allows for that ambiguity right now.
He's won two trophies,
there's only two other trophies available to him.
He's in the semifinal of one.
And I guess MLS, what'll happen is we'll just play Whack-a-Mole
and the one trophy that's not left for him to win
will be the one that we'll decide is the most important.
But I will say, historically, four great MLS teams,
the toughest trophy to win is the competition
he was playing in last night.
Now he caught, I don't think it's a break because Vancouver's had a really difficult
path in this competition, but he doesn't have to play Pumas, doesn't have to go to Mexico,
but he will have to play a semi-final leg in Vancouver and then fly all the way back
to get to the final, which will undoubtedly be against a Mexican team.
Yeah, when I say he's under regarded, what I mean is even when they signed him two years ago,
I think it was reasonable to think, all right, he's coming here as an end-of-career vacation.
You know, he's not the player he once was. We're gonna see a less Messi than the world has seen.
It's not.
Lessy.
Lessy. But I don't think, as with LeBron right
now, as with Tom Brady late in his career, I don't think that the diminishment of his
game is all that palpable. No, no it's not. And for me the most encouraging thing about
this entire experiment is Busquets was suspended last night, he was living and dying. Suarez
cared. Jordi Alba cared. Mess Messi cares. Walking off the pitch, I saw
Olivier Giroud for LAFC. I'm like, he played? Like, I had no
idea. Oftentimes, this is a league where people just go to
coast and retire and Messi could have done that after
winning the World Cup. It was the one thing that people were
holding against him and he did it on the grandest stage. He
carried his team in an all-time game. He comes over here, he doesn't have to care that much. He's at the end of his career and he freaking cares and
it was really cool to see. Yeah and he played 90 minutes in the previous game in the MLS match a
few days before that which sort of surprised me. I thought they were going to save him for the
CCC match but he so he wasn't rested which is the argument against Messi is that they rest
him too much I think he missed at least a dozen games last season.
Lessie.
But but he wasn't arrested Messi but he was a brilliant Messi.
And it delivered on all the crazy CONCACAF Champions Cup antics fouls that would be red
cards anywhere else on the planet or were warnings were
yellows he absolutely got pulverized it was a salt that happened on that pitch
when he had a counter-attack that would have been a surefire goal this dude
Marlon just absolutely flattened him it led to a scuffle on the field it was it
was really compelling dramatic stuff that maybe half a percentage of our
audience even knew how to find well Well, I would say beyond that, that the audience has been desperately waiting for Tony's Where
Were You games as you guys talked about a game last night that people watching last
night are, where do I get this magical game that's behind a paywall?
You, seeing Mike Ryan and Greg Cody finally get to talk together about a soccer game last night as Tony waited patiently for them to stop droning
So that he could talk about the most Latin of sports
Basketball. Thank you, Dan. Finally, that's what everybody's watching last night in a where were you moment?
This is something that's the next generation of the NBA
you moment. This is something that's the next generation of the NBA.
Luca is on the Mount Rushmore of this next generation. And in 10, 15, 20 years, we're going to look back and be like, damn,
I remember when the Mavs traded Luca to the Lakers and then he won four
championships, whatever, like whatever that history ends up being.
I'll remember the trade. Not last night. No,
you're going to remember the night he went back to the train. No Dallas,
Dallas remembers that. That is an incredible point, Chris.
I will 100% more vividly remember being in my house
getting the Shams bomb on my phone,
being like, babe, you gotta see this.
Not to undercut your list though, go ahead.
It feels like it's been undercut.
Let's narrow the list.
Let's say of all of the moments of this NBA season,
we'll include future games that haven't been played yet
Think crazy things that could happen in the playoffs. We will remember this game right Tony this
Give no this year for sure, but in this game it will live in
What will you remember more the trade or the game?
I remember him sitting up at the scoreboard looking up at the tribute video with tears in his eyes
But you'll remember you'll remember that more vividly than the shocking yes because
Because I was asleep during the trade
Because the baby you remember when you woke up. Yeah, I do remember but the game I have more burned in my memory
I'm crying you were you were in your bed. I was in my bed crying. I mean not crying the baby
I was yeah, I never has a bit been more undercut than we are doing. It's okay. It's welcome to my life
But here hold on no no hold on hold on hold on I already forgot what Billy's not even here Never has a bit been more undercut than we are doing. It's okay. It's welcome to my life
Hold on. No, no, hold on. Hold on. I already forgot what Billy's not even here
Hold on. I shut up Mike in Miami. This guy doesn't watch hoop So we should watch a game watch a game you watch it on your third TV in silence
The third TV is the same size as a second TV. You've told us you're not a fan. It's not for you
This is not for you fair enough. He's a fan and It's not for you. This list is not for you.
Fair enough.
He's a fan.
And Tony, I'm trying to help you because I agree.
No, I know you are, thank you.
You probably won't remember this in 10 years where you were,
but of this season, you'll remember it.
Did you know that Doug Christie's a coach of the Kings?
You didn't just call Jess a ball watcher.
Yeah, she watches hoops, dude.
She does.
I mean, I am quite literally a ball watcher, Dan. Guilty.
Jessica was delighted.
The sinister glee on her face to think that you think
that last night was one of the top five most historic
moments that we will all remember forever
when nobody agrees with you and you're getting ganged up on
and she was just happy to lure you a little further
into the pit.
Please tell them more about how last night
was all time memorable.
No, you're wrong.
Nothing sinister happening.
I'm trying to help Tony out because in a room full
of people that admit they do not watch this sport
and they are not fans of it,
they're trying to undercut something
that was a meaningful moment for basketball fans.
I agree with you.
Of this season, it's a top five where were you moment.
But he's making it an all time NBA where were you moment.
There are several people in this room that can attest.
There was one person that called out trapping the ball
screen in the national championship game.
And that was me.
All right.
None of you other people caught onto that.
I did. Ball watcher. Mike, for sure, ball watcher. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan and if you're watching our show, you've probably known your boy has

All right. All I Lucas returned to Dallas.
The fact that it's an all I like,
let me do my thing. Number two. I'm like this. You guys didn't let me do my thing. Number two.
I'm like, no man, you let me do my thing.
Did you know about Doug Christie?
That's crazy.
You know, Max Christie not related to Doug Christie.
Max Christie having a really good year for Dallas.
I don't know who that is.
In the trade.
Oh, wait, no.
He was a guy with a nameplate.
Because you didn't watch the game last night.
Because you don't watch the damn games.
Mike, you have no idea.
Max Christie had his nameplate removed
while he was giving an interview.
Yeah, I know that guy.
OK.
So he was on the Lakers. He got traded as part of the package now
He's in Dallas good young player by the way, but Chrissy loves sex. Oh
I number whatever all watch Kobe's 81 point game
That got regulated
ESPN 2 because the Warriors were going for the win record and ESPN decided Kobe's game
Not his 81 point game, no the no that you're talking about the Toronto one
No, yeah, I'm talking about Toronto back in the day. Sorry did not get regulated
How many did he have in his final game 81-point game? Oh, no
More than that in a second. Okay
Kobe's final game
60 points final game
2016 it was a where were you moment. It was the moment that
alright, Kobe, it's finally done, come off the Achilles tear, score 60, they let him
lay out and shoot a million times, he gets there, and then obviously we know what happens
as part of his legacy. Very sad. That's a whole another where were you moment. I was
in Thailand by the way when that happened, when Kobe passed away. That's another list
of another time. Different than what you'll tell your grandkids. I'll tell them like I was in Thailand and I woke
up to my phone exploding at four o'clock in the morning in Thailand and I was like what happened?
What happened? Kobe died. Kobe passing away is a I know exactly where I was moment. No doubt.
Driving back from Orlando. It was pretty crazy that ESPN decided the Warriors going for the
regular season win record that gets on ESPN one Kobe's final game ESPN to
Oli number whatever Kobe's Achilles game where he tears the Achilles goes back to goes back to the free throw line
Sinks to free throws Dan games to Kobe. Oh, yeah, three Kobe's situations. Yeah, the Oli. Well, yeah two games number five
Another Kobe game, but not for this reason. Okay, 2004
Western Conference semis the Derek Fisher point for lefty shot. Oh, yeah, that was a
After Duncan had just won the game exactly. There's gonna be a good list if we're including postseason
But no one knows where they were like I remember that game, but I don't remember I was I don't remember where I was
Bad for you. I remember where I was for all these games. I don't remember where I was bad for you. I remember where I was for all these games
I was in the stands like living with my grandparents
But like that doesn't you might not I don't remember where you were when LeBron won in 2016
Yeah, yes, I don't think I do. Yeah I was that world of beer, and I was so pissy
Was that bruiser room the Kendall one yeah?
That was I was so bad. Oh my god dream on you idiot. I know it was Bo campers not bruiser room
number four important distinction
D Wade's this is my house game
I remember the game Don't know where I was. Make remember where you were
Game I was watching the game at home I remember watching the game and I can't believe they left Kevin Love on an island against Steph and he held his own
This is just a memorable games list
Where were you during the D way game? No, are you there? I don't remember
No, I don't remember.
No, I don't remember where I was at any of these times.
They are all memorable games.
I was at home.
Thank you.
Okay, now you're playing the game correctly.
But when Kobe died, I think,
because I don't know what month it was,
so I may have this wrong.
January.
Okay, so I was at-
It was the week of Super Bowl week in Miami.
So I remember I was on a flight to Miami with Charlotte,
and we were sitting next to each other,
and I was like, whoa. I don't remember everyone was like, I think I'm on a flight to Miami with Charlotte and we were sitting next to each other and I was like whoa
Everyone was like I think I'm coming down with something. I
Was it we all had kovat? I was at a garbage dump
Hmm. Yeah, I was throwing away a Christmas tree when I learned that yeah, you don't just chuck it outside in the front of your house
No, I was in a place that collects trees so that you're not just doing that to them. No, but they do that
Arcane detail littering. Well, that's you remember
What do you mean? It's our county doesn't pick it up some some hillbilly down in home said well
See that's believable when you make up something like that people will believe you because it's so specific
But I do but I thought that was the point of what we were doing not just Tony's home every time. I mean, you know, number three NBA finals, game six, the Ray Allen game.
I wasn't home there. I was at a Hooters. I was at kegs out. Oh wow.
Classic spot. I went there for many a dude. He played playoff games.
I was in a Hooters in Daytona beach cause I was coaching a kids team and me and
all the coaches went out after to catch the game, found it at Hooters.
And then we went to ale house right after that dance. I wasn't home.
That was a dark period. That fourth,
like when we fell behind that was in my bedroom with all the lights off with my
sheets. You don't want to see my face.
Where were you? Where were you?
I remember exactly. That's the first one.
I was, where it was. Get those fire up, son! We're flying.
I was in the stands tweeting at how bad Miami fans were from moving early.
That's the first one you've said where I'm like, okay, that's a where were you.
I know where Sugats wasn't.
He was outside trying to get back into the arena because he was one of those people who had left early after several seasons of scalping his ticket.
See, that's the first one Tony actually remembers where I was
The thing is I was outside of my house Chris is on to you. This is a memorable games
Who doesn't a nail house?
Try County area. They're mostly
Independently, so we don't have to worry about the bankruptcy one because I can tell you that Doral one ain't going
Yeah, I don't even want the last no no no there's two more. There's two more Ben. You want these?
I don't it's this number two number two the game to save the blueprint 2012 in Boston game
645 from LeBron with the scowl Dan. Where were you? I was at Bobby's house. Okay, or I was keg South
I don't boy. Come on. I was at my buddy Tommy's house
Okay, watching the game at Tommy's house on his couch
We were terrified because the blueprint was over Dan. I listened to you that day
You said the blueprint's over if they lose and I was very worried. My father did the strangest thing that night
I have ever seen him do
Because I was there and I was sitting on his couch
With my girlfriend and my father who got so nervous that while he was watching during all of that for reasons
I will not be able to explain to this day in the living room just dropped his pants and was standing there in his underwear
Huh, he just got scared nervous all he fans. That was all of his house
But why do I why do I remember that because my father for some reason was in his tidy white
He's just in the fourth quarter scared most scared. I've ever been leading up to a game in my entire life. I straight up haven't been able to shit the same way since
Did you ever say dad? Why did drop your pay? We all did we all did his house though Greg
Yeah, poor girlfriend. Wait, you all dropped your pants
We all
All of Miami was that scared
I'm afraid I'm gonna shit myself. I'm a full. I'm afraid that my insides there's going to be an evacuation
Let me drop my pants. Perhaps that will solve things
Maybe maybe and you guys will remember this more than I will but after game six where Ray Allen hits that shot going back to
number three for a second,
on the way back from Daytona Beach,
I was listening to the show the entire time,
and you guys were stoking fear in every Heat fan's heart.
And I think Chris Cody went to go pick up Bill Simmons
and bring him back, because he did an hour that day,
because he was coming to the game, game seven.
I drove my mom's car, because my car, I was like,
I can't pick up Bill Simmons in my car.
Yeah, we all said, you pick up bill simmons in your car
Mom I need your car today gotta pick up bill simmons another were were you situation alright number one of the where were you games?
malice at the palace I
Was home
Were you and that happened that's what 2003 doesn't for
when that happened. That's what, 2003?
2004?
Or like 11?
I was watching my brother-in-law's district
playoff game.
Wow.
I wasn't even watching the game.
And then I, this is like, I looked it up in my Metro PCS.
I'm like, what is, how can I find clips of this?
This was a top three with filler.
It was fat.
And it was just a memorable games list.
And I didn't know where you were.
That was a wonderful stroll down memory lane.
It was.
I'm not going to say. I love that. All right, Greg, you were. That was a wonderful stroll down memory lane. It was, I'm not gonna say anything.
I love that.
All right, Greg, you go.
Nothing to cough at.
How did you get Mike's support
but completely lost mine in the span of this list, Tony?
It's more heat stuff, I think.
Just guys being dudes.
Jessica was so happy at the start of this segment
and you took it from her.
She was just...
I did.
You know what?
I didn't understand that the list would invoke
when basketball was actually good.
I have one
I saw the vision right you see the vision
Greg Cody has won. I think we should all get out of the way and well just interrupted because I said in his ear
Do you have any we could go to he's like I have one
In his ear I'm like you have a few we could go to and then on air and he interrupted Mike
He's just like I have a couple that I could say
I was thinking of one when Tony was doing it and I don't blame him for not putting it on the list because
I'm the only one in this room who was alive at the time, but
Where were you moment when Nate Smith's invented the rules of basketball?
Will Chamberlain's 100-point game I was seven years old you don remember that. In Hollywood, Florida at 1440, watching on a black and white Sylvania television set.
This is a great story here.
No.
Because nobody believes that game happened.
It's a hundred point game.
And it did happen.
Jack?
Well, you know.
I thought it was like famously not televised.
I think he's.
Jack.
Might be making this whole thing up.
No.
I don't think there's Jack might be making this whole thing up.
No, I don't think I don't think there's proof of him scoring.
Like I don't think we have seen video proof of him scoring the 100.
Have we? Yeah, it was it was he held up a sign after the game.
No, but that's not the same.
That's all. I think it's a Mandela effect going on.
Yeah, Jessica.
I think that you think that's a conspiracy. I think it wasn't televised
I don't think there's a lot of video of that game
I think there's just like one grainy photograph or something. I'm just telling you I watched it on TV
No, but I don't trust you couldn't have watched it on TV
Library of Congress the amazing performance wasn't televised and there's no videotape of the game only a Philadelphia radio station broadcast
You're full of it
You're just making that out memory. Maybe it's a figment of my imagination
No, I bet sin bad and obviously
Shazam movie we're all revealing we did not listen to Pablo's episode about this no doubt no doubt I
Guarantee you you all remember where you were the first ever XFL game, too
No, I remember
What was on the television? I don't remember don't? No, I remember watching it.
I remember what was on the television.
I don't remember where I physically was.
Like I remember he hate me and all that stuff.
Yeah.
That I remember, but I don't know where I was.
Ryan Clement and I made it.
Hot tub.
I cannot.
Look, forgive me because I need to stop everything that we're doing right now.
We need to stop everything that we're doing.
As badly as I've wanted all show to get to greg kody and how much he enjoys
cleaning his toilets
which i do want to get to i don't want to skip past what just happened
which is that greg kody
just falsified a total memory and was caught live on air remembering a story i
have one
that he doesn't have that it was a fake story that cannot be true that was
immediately refuted and so he's arguing that he's remembering something that he doesn't have, that it was a fake story, that cannot be true, that was immediately refuted, and so he's arguing that he's remembering something
that he can't remember.
Well, it was real in my mind.
Doesn't mean anything.
No, it was.
I mean, it means a lot these days.
Yeah, thank you.
Tiger's first Masters win, Tiger's last Masters win.
It was the last Masters, yeah.
Both of those, where were you moments?
I remember the lasters.
In one year after Wilt scored 100 points in a game,
JFK was assassinated, another big moment for Dallas. In one year after Wilt scored a hundred points in a game
JFK was assassinated
Another big moment for Dallas. Where were you and and I was let home from elementary school early I don't believe anything you're saying because of the tragedy. No, I know my story was patently false
I wouldn't joke about about an assassin. You weren't joking about will chamber.. No I wasn't, I believe that I saw that game
on a Sylvania black and white set.
It's a Sylvania detail that, it's got a shot.
It was one of those big console things where the.
Oh it wasn't a flat screen?
No, I'm kidding.
I know that's what.
And oddly enough my dad also dropped his pants
during that game, but seriously.
Wild Bill. No, I dropped his pants during that game. But seriously. Wild Bill.
No, I remember the JFK assassination game.
I also remember the Red Sox game.
What game?
I mean the...
It was not a game.
The first video game.
I remember the Red Sox Cardinals game in 1967 in the World Series.
They also let us watch that game on TV.
Is he on pills?
Yeah, I don't know what's happening
He sat in the I he sat in the lounge
That's an Asian game
He just some on me. He just summoned a memory that is not a memory
No on it. It's a memory Greg might be a false memory, but it's a memory. That's his and you can't take it
Thank you. I can take it and I will take it on the mark. He's right
and you can't take it from him. I can take it and I will take it from him.
He's right.
Greg, you saw a photo of Will Chamberlain
holding up the sign, a famous photo of him
holding up a sign with a piece of paper
that said 100 on it and you've conjured a memory
from that that does not exist
because you just remember your childhood television.
The Big Dipper.
I think that was Will Snickman.
Yeah, he's right about that.
He is, he's the Big Dipper.
That's my bad.
Yeah, and if it wasn't it should have been
No, I vividly remember
Sylvania remember watching that game. What game was on the Sylvania then?
Vivid you vividly remember it. Yeah, I do. Do you remember where you were when Dale died?
Who? Oh Dale Earnhardt. Yeah
I was watching the the race from home
I was watching the the race from home
And I remember the year after that the Herald actually sent me to
Daytona to cover the race because he had died the previous year Yeah, do you remember the John Hinkley Hinkley shooting Ronald Reagan game? I do I do not I
remember
Chapman or whatever his name is killing John Lennon
Outside that was a crazy game.
Yeah.
Put it on the poll, Juju, at Lebatard Show.
Do you like cleaning your toilet?
Oh, god, who doesn't?
We can't do this without Stugats, right?
I mean, I got to do it.
What's happened to Stugats?
He decided that he didn't want to play.
Where is Stugats?
Juju, all the way here.
It's strange.
Yes.
I hope he feels better.
Why do you like cleaning your toilet?
Because it's the small pleasures in life
that satisfy me the most.
And cleaning a toilet, this began when my wife
was critical of the state of the bowl that I would leave.
Oh God.
And so I bought one.
That's a sentence.
Oh my God.
No, but look, he said he was good around the bathroom.
Look, Jessica, we have done.
It's human. No. I'm a human being. The state of the bathroom. Look, Jessica, we have done.
It's human. No.
I'm a human being.
The state of the bowl.
Yes.
That is a sentence.
Jessica, I'm with you on this.
Keep in mind, the Cody's are kind of disgusting, okay?
And we aired and did something that was as bad as anything
that we have done on television since being on television,
which is without knowing how and why they are so gross we made the judgment one day of just showing a
bowl that uh... greg had left for his wife that she was complaining about
those things shouldn't be televised we should not have televised it it was
difficult with disgusting but the codies are so disgusting that they are not
discussed how i think i have reached a point for a lot of the media where it
like
sixty years ago,
Wilt Chamberlain has this famous basketball game not on TV.
But now in 2025, Greg Cote talking about the state of the toilet bowl
is something that's televised.
I was going to say, because you have people that clean your house,
so you're not cleaning toilets.
They're there once a week.
And I bet you they've been stuck with some of these toilets
because Greg doesn't mind leaving a toilet that way.
Well, that was the old me. me Wow now that I love cleaning a toilet
I've adopted it almost as a hobby if we're being real I bought one of those
Libman
Brands, please stop making that gesture. What was that? That's what I call them
You're sitting next to me right now the thing with the
Stiff my door still the. Still the same gesture.
Be careful.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just satisfying.
It really is.
And then that bowl sparkles.
And that's something your mother was getting on me about.
There's an incredible toilet bowl hack
that we can teach you with Fabuloso.
Really?
Yeah, you put it in the tank.
You cut out a little hole near the top of the bottle.
It's called eat more fiber.
I don't take shortcuts.
Okay.
I believe in doing the wand myself, cleaning what I've left.
Sparkles that bowl.
It's called try probiotics.
Probiotics.
Whatever, amateur biotics.
Make it NIL now.
I prefer cleaning my own toilet.
I really do.
And I'm proud of it.
NIL deserve better than that.
You were doing that to Cody, right?
Yes.
Yeah, my joke was funny.
Yeah, you were good, Jess.
Greg, does anyone listening to this like to clean a toilet?
It's satisfying.
Absolutely not.
I would like it at the painting a room. Okay
I hate to pay people to do that. No
Look how good my list was now, huh?
Jessica he does not realize and neither does his son that he's disgusting
Because I clean a toilet
What's the say to your bowl?
Always clean. Okay. I make sure of it. You know how you've done what I heard
Wait a minute. What is it? Did you hear from the same person you watch the Wolf Chamberlain game?
What is it? Did you hear from the same person you watched the Will Chamberlain game?
Silvania I have an inside source. Yep, really you and my wife are talking about how I leave the bowl. I I'm happened
No prying necessary she volunteering it
And you know it how is it possible
That Greg Cody is claiming to remember a game that was not televised? Like I cannot make up how ridiculous that is and that he's sitting here still believing
it like resolution.
Yeah, I do.
Like, Resolute Slovenia.
I may be mistaking it for another game because at that time in my life I was a big Celtics
fan.
Okay, Bob Cousy
John have Lecheck Bill Russell bona fides
Those are the those are the days that other than following Carly Stremski and the Red Sox
Yeah, and Willie Mays and the Giants say hey kid those 60s Celtics
Because I was born in Massachusetts
Raised me on sports, made me love sports.
Before we get out of here for the day today,
something I failed to do in my poor coverage
of the national championships in basketball
where I just complained about how terrible the game was
instead of celebrating, you know, whatever,
a championship was decided
by an arbitrary measurement in March.
you know, whatever, a championship was decided by an arbitrary measurement in March.
The idea that we have not talked about
my just rabid, rabid rage and then enjoyment
of seeing Jim Nance lose at the end
because he's had enough success,
I felt bad about that.
I didn't like looking inside of myself
and being like Jim Nance's life has been charmed enough.
I don't need to have Houston win the championship here.
And I'd be okay with even Florida winning it
because Jim Nance does not need to win anymore.
Well, Jim Nance is winning.
This is the farewell for Jim Nance at Augusta.
And I don't know how you guys are bracing
for when that day comes 11 years from now.
It's gonna make me very sad when that day comes,
but in the meantime, I noticed earlier today
that the chairman of Augusta looks like BJ
from Righteous Gemstones in 50 years.
And that has made me laugh all day.
Have you ever heard in your entire life
of an 11 year retirement plan?
Guys, it's BJ.
Picture him pole dancing, it's hilarious.
Who's gonna replace him, you think?
I don't even wanna think about it.
I can't even come to grips with it.
Someone's kid.
You think Vern Lindquist is just there?
Sitting in a tree house.
Sitting in a tree house.
Never leaves.
Never leaves.
Good to see you guys back again.
Who you got calling it this year?
I know I'm out, but I'm staying here.
They're just going to give it to Jim Nance's kid, aren't they?
He works hard.
Nobody else felt this way watching
Jim Nance lose at the end.
Oh, here's Jim.
I don't know Jim.
Jack.
