As I ask you guys about this theme that I continue to hit because I'm interested in documentaries, I like documentaries. We're in the documentary business. Bill Belichick announced yesterday that the long-rumored Hulu docu series about UNC football this season is going to happen and is going to premiere this fall. His girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, seemed to have taken a victory lap on Instagram before the news was announced. She posted an image of her blowing a kiss to the camera as her and Belichick walked away, and the caption included the handles for Ever Wonder, Hulu, Disney Plus. Your level of interest in whatever this documentary is going to be, which I assume that Bill Belichick will have creative control over.

I don't think we're going to see anything that Bill Belichick doesn't want us to see. Yeah, and that's the problem, right? It's going to be the Jerry Jones thing, where if Belichick is controlling the whole thing, it's going to be exactly formulaic based on whatever he wants and more important, doesn't want air. But I'm interested. Well, it is a natural evolution. It's a way for him to evolve in the modern age as a 70-year-old with what is popular today when you guys are busy telling me the argument for them two weeks now.

hey, Jerry Jones wins, Dan. He gets the money and the attention. That's all that actually matters. It's bound to be just a documentary about Bill Belichick and his transition from the Patriots into college football and hopefully about his controversial relationship with someone a third of his age, because if it ends up being the history of an unremarkable North Carolina program, I'm not interested. There's no way it's going to be about his relationship. They'll let us see what they want us to see. And that'll be that. And it's up to the consumer to decide whether or not they want to make that investment on the front end, knowing his reputation, how secretive he is,

knowing that their fingerprints are all over it. Me, myself, not at all interested because I kind of have an idea of what I'd be getting there. And that's going to be usually the case with documentaries that are authorized right now, unless you have a subject that is legitimately willing to give the entire truth. Look, you have buy-in from Charlie Sheen

in his upcoming Netflix documentary series? I'm pretty sure that's going to be super interesting and I don't mind that it's authorized by him because it doesn't seem like he's going to be pulling any punches there. So I'm in on that. But I think with most cases in the documentary world, especially the ones that go to streamers, the consumer's going to have to make an educated guess

as to whether or not this is the truth and should scrutinize whatever they see, understanding that is just one perspective. And it's probably going to end up being a glorified series of recruiting videos for the Tar Heels, which I have no interest in watching. You mentioned Charlie Sheen. I hadn't mentioned to you how close we were to making that particular movie, but the amount of money that he wanted, given in general, what it is that is going on in his life seemed unsafe.

Hey, man, we're constantly making it to the metal stand. A lot of second places. Your podium in F1. That one we said no to. That one we said no to. Yes, because the amount of money that he wanted. And probably deserves. He probably deserves.

He said no to us. Yes, and he would, no, he did not say no to us. Well, it sounds like you didn't meet the price. Yeah, like if you go to a car dealership and they say this car will be $50,000, and you're like, how about $8? I'm out of here, too expensive. Yeah. It was ours for the taking.

If we had them. Yeah, I said no to a Maserati the other day. I'm like, I'm not doing this. No, it was affordable. Like, we could have done it. It just would have put some things at risk, but we could have done it. Really? Couldn't you have low-balled it?

You would have lost Jeremy. It sounds like there wasn't a lot of competition for this guy's story. No, there is. There is a lot of competition. I have broken up with Scarlett Johansson. I understand the way. It was a tough decision. You weren't, look, man, you hit me the other day.

Right after you hit me with, I made a musical buster or whatever it is. Guy. Guy, got buster. You hit me right after that with, oh, really, Dan, you're questioning whether Carson Beck looked like Cam Ward in fall practice. when I was there and you weren't. For both camps. So I'm in on the Charlie Sheen discussions and you're not.

Wow. It's just, it's cool. Like, you didn't meet the price. And he went with someone that made the price. It doesn't seem like he, you broke up with him. Still second place, though. No, it would have been first place. Silverman. We chose second place.

Silverman. I didn't say we were second place. First place is a lot of pressure. We might have been tied with everybody else. We might have been tied forever. I'm not even saying we're second place there. On the Cowboys, we were second place there. On the Cowboys, we were second place.

place. That's why John Skipper's name. By our choosing or theirs? That's their choosing. The NFL's choosing, I think. I don't think that was even Jerry's choosing. Well, because your pitch was probably, we'd like an honest look. I do believe if you're not first, you're last. Why do you guys keep falling for this whole documentary thing, especially with sports, thinking like you're going to get anything that's honest at all? Well, this is one of the conundrums that's in play right now that I will reveal as it relates to the specifics of Isaiah Thomas, for example, as a documentary story. That gets about 10 steps down the line with 10 different meetings with 10 different people. And at the very end, somebody says, hey, Isaiah, you know we're

going to have to ask about the sexual harassment stuff, right? And that's where these things are going to fall apart in the future, everywhere, wherever it is that you're granting access in exchange for a piece of the story. And it's what's going to get contaminated in the storytelling, as you only have four or five entities telling any kinds of stories, and they'll do it the way the Gators did their story on Netflix, where it's just you're getting a piece of it, but you're not getting the piece of it that I've told you before. The best sports documentary I've seen recently was what Max did and Armand Catan with Tiger Woods. Oh, not Tarasi? Available now? It did not have Tiger Woods' participation, and it was

amazing because it didn't have his participation. You had an assortment of people talking the way I would have liked to hear some people talk about Jerry Jones if they put any of them on camera who might have said the things about Jerry Jones that would have been an exhaustive look at Jerry Jones as opposed to what it is that they did, which is just public relations for Jerry Jones. I totally get that. If I'm reading a book that says unauthorized biography, I assume it's going to be more truthful than the biography written by the autobiography. So same way with documentaries. I don't know, though, that anybody that's listening to this actually cares of that particular contamination in this age of both fake news and choose your own truth. Because what are we 15 minutes

removed from Trump saying, what about being a dictator? As everybody wonders whether he's hiding his ankles from us because he's in poor health? Well, he's also hiding his hands from us. But on top of that he said I believe and let me get the direct quote for you quote nope doing a bad job here wasn't ready to have this one a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator a lot of that's the direct quote a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator he went on to say I'm not a dictator I don't like a dictator but a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like one when it comes to coaches I do believe that most people in our our audience would like their football team to have the boss that they themselves would not

like to have somebody who's a disciplinarian and bossing people around and showing people who's in charge. So as this situation in Dallas escalates with Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones, Mike Floreo is pointing out that Parsons is yet to practice and he's saying he's got a back problem. Now Jerry Jones says that's negotiating. Everything is fine with his back. They say he's faking it. Well, I had to lay down in the middle of the game the other night, too. That's correct. He was, definitely wasn't taking a nap during the game that he was sitting out of.

The MRI of Parsons' back was, according to Schottenheimer, pretty clean. I don't know what that means. It means clean enough to play. And as one source with knowledge of the procedure explained to Mike Florio, the Cowboys can now send a letter to Parsons explaining that he's cleared to practice and that it's conduct detrimental. and, you know, also insubordination if he doesn't practice and they can go as deep as a four-game penalty. Mike Ryan is dismissing this all as noise, but you would agree, correct, that there are

certain things that you might not be able to take back in public when it's an 80-year-old doing business against somebody in his early 20s in the modern age. And you can fix it all with money, as Jerry Jones often does by overspending just to have his spectacle in the news. But we are in agreement that this risks something. Are we not? Or are we just saying, no, their behavior, these behaviors are going to be fine and Micah Parsons is going to be understood by Jerry Jones at the end as long as he comes and he pays him? I think if he gets the biggest contract ever at his position, then all as well. I have to think that heals and solves everything. If he doesn't, maybe there's some after effect here. If he doesn't, then it would end differently

for the first time in Jerry Jones's history running the Dallas Cowboys. The difference that I would say here, though, is at least not lacking in substance. This is the one guy that Cowboys have had who is insistent on having his own platform. This is the one star that they have who also wishes to be a star with his mouth

in a way that not everyone else is profiting off of because he wants his own platform the same way Mike Bibby and all these guys have noticed that the platform has value. Micah Parsons, we are in agreement that the star that Micah Parsons is on that team, different from Jack Prescott, different from C.D. Lamb, he wants to be a personality. Like, it's clear that he also wants the attention that Jerry Jones craves.

That makes him different than any of the other cowboys I have seen in the modern age. It makes him represent the modern age. He is what the athlete is becoming. And in this case, all Micah Parsons is doing is leveling the playing field because nobody has a bigger platform than Jerry Jones in the NFL. Jerry can say whatever he wants and everybody's writing it down and repeating it on the air. So Micah Parsons finally has his own platform and good for him. Does it matter, though, is what I'm saying to you.

Once you get past the contract negotiations of this, do you guys think that this is not going to be a problem going forward with Micah Parsons? He's already talking too much for their liking. These teams like to have control of these things. Tyree Kil did not speak when he was in Kansas City. Travis Kelsey did one season of his dating show, and then Andy Reid said we need to not be doing that in public anymore. We're watching a Netflix documentary where Michael Irvin is the only one raising his hand

and actually volunteering. I'll talk about all of my bad shit, and I'll throw it all in public. but Micah Parsons is willing to get messy with the owner. Des Bryant got messy with the owner and got his money. Ezekiel Elliott got messy. He got his money. Zach Martin didn't get messy, but the action of waiting to the very last second is, you know,

it's messy. Wouldn't you assume that people, what is the situation right now with Cam Hayward in Pittsburgh? Aren't some of these guys just trying to avoid all of training camp? Aren't some of these guys just not wanting to do any of, Coach is going to make me miserable for a month. Just tell me when the collisions start. I'll show up.

I'm a whatever it is that Cam Hayward is, 14-year veteran. I don't need training camp. Can you blame them? I mean, if you're a proven veteran, you don't need training camp. You don't need three exhibition game. Josh Allen didn't take a single snap in the preseason for the first time in his career. That's going to be a little bit of a trend, I think. No, they've been going the opposite.

I've noticed this year more teams are playing players. I know that's an example of not, but Tua played this year. Two have played this year. Tua is not proven in a way that Josh Allen is. Joe Burrow played every game, but the reason Joe Burrow played is because the Bengals seem to think that it's not that Joe Burrow has been unhealthy coming into the seasons why he struggles. It's because it takes a little while for him to warm up. So they're warming him up in the preseason, putting him at risk to get injured so that he's revving when week one comes around, which is an absurd theory. But we'll see how that plays out.

Kyler Murray also played this year, didn't play last year. I think it's going the other way. I saw more people playing this year. Okay, but if you're Cam Hayward, if you trust a veteran accomplished player and I'm the head coach, I'm going, you tell me what you need. How much do you need to play in this preseason? Because you've proven it. You've been proving it in the NFL longer than I've been a head coach. You tell me what you need to get ready.

When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners, I started wondering. Is every fabulous item I see from winners? Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. Are those from winners? Ooh, are those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? Or that leather tote?

Or that cashmere sweater? Or those knee-high boots? That dress, that jacket, those shoes, is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners, find fabulous for less. Don Lebertard. I heard that as a woman faking pain. I didn't think that sounded real. I really didn't, you know. It was not fake. It was in no way fake. You can spot a woman faking it.

Stugats. Yes, I can, Jess. Expert. I've been married 40 years. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. I was happy to hear from Billy. He also is warming up to be the Duke, one of the biggest insiders there is anywhere in national and international football. And I heard that Billy had a football proposal for us, and I have been remiss and not getting to it before now. we usually clear the way when Duky has a football proposal to make. Yeah, so I don't know if you guys have caught on.

Preseason's done, season's starting, but there's a week in between. College football is going to happen, but the NFL, you now have a week in between where they can rest and get their bodies right and kind of just get sorted out for the season. So I was thinking, what if during the football season we just had a universal buy where there's just one week of no football. And I know you guys are thinking that's terrible. I can't do that. But, I mean, I sometimes find it hard to get my things done.

My chores done. I can't go out of town for the weekend because there's football that needs to be watched. I feel like if we have a football holiday in the middle of football season, everyone can get right. A buy for fans. A buy for fans. And the players, too. Yeah, they can get healthy. You just have a universal buy for all the teams.

You put it, I don't know. We have that before the Super Bowl, right? That's not what you want, though. You want like a universal... Pro Bowl games are that weekend, Dan. You're telling me you not watching the Pro Bowl games. That's what he's telling you. You got Tuesday, Wednesday.

All right, that's plenty of time to get your shit done. At an award shows. I haven't seen them in 15 years. I feel like the first week at December maybe, you know, after Thanksgiving. I don't like this. I don't think I've seen a Pro Bowl since Sean Taylor was alive because that's the last Pro Bowl memory that I had. I don't... I'm inclined to believe that.

Award shows get out of it. In Revelations, Dan says he hasn't. gotten a piece of mail in a decade. Yeah, that did happen. Maybe 20. Maybe 20. I haven't physically gone to get my mail. You didn't see any of the Ricky Jervais Golden Globes.

I saw, I saw clips. I've seen of it. No, I've seen, I see award show the way that others I imagine are watching award shows, which is clips long after they're over. Are you saying start to finish or like the 7 eighth situation? I have not tuned in to an award show in 15 years where I'm going to my television with the purpose of I want to see this. Not even the Oscar show that we did here.

You didn't see the opening of the 2010 primetime Emmys when Jimmy Fallon, Tina Faye, and the cast of Glee saying Born to Run? I mean, come on Dan. By the way, Born to Run, 50 years. I have no idea what there is. Okay.

This is, I don't have anything against these shouts of liar from you guys other than to tell you I'm not lying. And then we just get stuck. It's not liar. It's unlikely. That's really what I'm It's the 15 years part that's... It just seems like a weird flex, let's say. But I'm not flexing.

Could you have forgotten one that you tuned into three years ago? I'll take three or four years, not 15. I understand that you guys don't believe me on this. No. I know. You're clear in dismissing this. I just don't have anywhere to go after that other than to tell you. I don't watch award shows, and I also don't watch Pro Bowls,

but I thought that Billy's idea there of the custom. getting a break midway through the season, I think I'd appreciate that. Yeah, go up to Epcot, a little food and wine action. It's not a bad idea. This is almost as annoying as when my dad wants in our fantasy draft to take a break. It's like a thing in fantasy drafts, you don't take a break. You don't take a break. You have a break between picks, all right? The draft always is moving.

My dad is like after round four. We will now pause for five minutes and everyone go to the bat. It's like, no. Ever heard a halftime junior? Everyone does it. Go to the bathroom when you're not picking. The draft always stays moving. There's no breaks in drafts.

That's an arbitrary thing. You go to the bathroom, you come back, you see what picks you missed. No, you go five, I almost said innings. You go five rounds. He almost said pissed. I did, actually, yeah. You go five rounds, you take a five minute break, you go five more rounds, you take a five minute break, then you finish the draft. There you go.

Right there. Washington and Terry McLaren have agreed to a three-year deal. Thank God the Lobos just drafted him. That's what? Yeah! Wow, they made up after that ugly holdout. You were mocked, too. I know I was.

Who's got the last laugh now? Go loboes. I saw the 49ers have two guys that got shot. Purcell and who? Robinson got traded there. Oh, yeah. That's true. Brian.

They got two dudes that got shot. Do we have any details since we're now doing this as the breaking news reaction on Jalen Brown's father? stabbing someone since we're doing just a violent crime outbreak somehow around what it is the breaking news is? I have some details, if you'd like. What a week for dads? According to U.S.

your family. What? I'm just kidding. Go ahead. Be helpful, please. No, no thanks. No, come on. 57-year-old Quentin Marcellus Brown was arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing another man in a parking lot.

According to jail records, he was booked on that charge and his bail bond was set at $300,000. Three news in Las Vegas reported that the incident started over a, quote, door ding. The victim and his girlfriend were sitting in a vehicle at All-American Park. When Brown parked his SUV next to them, Brown opened his passenger side door hitting their vehicle. Witnesses identified Brown, who was listed at seven feet tall and 300 pounds at the scene.

The stabbing as a crime is so personal and intimate that I don't know what to do with it as a talking point just getting so physically close to somebody that somewhere in what would be a card ding or rage you would be capable of just stabbing them seems like a level of violence that I'm not capable of understanding

the gun's okay I'm not saying it's okay I'm not saying it's okay I'm just saying in fact the gun comes with bigger penalties and consequences for obvious reasons I'm just saying the mindset of somebody who is willing to stab you is not something that I am able to comprehend.

Where was the victim stabbed, does it say? Because I think that matters. Oh, wow. Okay. If he stabbed in the arm, you can't charge him with a test of murder. This is not where I had all of this breaking news ending up. If I try to stab you and I'm going towards your chest and I end up in your bicept. That's not a attempted murder? I learned a lot.

Not if I'm a defense lawyer. Elno. Dan Lbuttard on stabbing, colon, couldn't fathom it. It's just too intimate. Intimacy. That's the issue. Intimacy. According to people, it says witnesses told police that Brown allegedly stabbed the coach as many as 25 times. Oh, God.

Yeah, youth football coach, a 28-year-old youth football coach. Oh, my God. How did we end up here? I don't think location matters at 25. It's entirely your fault. Yeah, that we'll give him attempted murder. You asked for details, and then you say, I can't do anything with that. You'll give him attempted murder dad.

I will, yeah. I love how Levitard calls. stabbing an act of intimacy. That's interesting. I'm not taking it back. Okay. Or should you? It is... I do like... I don't like this.

The visual of like a romantic stabbing is what you're painting there. Intimate. Like an intimate moment. Baby! That's how you keep the Cody name alive. No. No. That is... Just because they're too close to get her? You're not allowed to keep it alive if you just give Graceland

your last name. That doesn't count. What if she adopts my last name? It's cheating the system. it is that's not the true bloodline yeah why why should women give up their surname that's a great question what if i adopt a boy will that will that you accept that it's not the bloodline another asterisk i'm sorry you could love him like a son he could be your son yeah what if wait i don't like that what if uh what if gregg gives the adopted boy something happens a blood

transfusion then greg's blood is back in play here you know that's not a bad idea i'm naming him Fred. I want to get that going. Oh, Fred. Fred. Fred. I don't like this conversation. Let's go back to the stabbing. My bloodline dies with me, and I'm okay with it. You're okay with that? Wow. I still got Michael, you know, maybe he can sew his seed and produce a boy. What's going on with you where the last couple of weeks we're talking about your tombstone, your mortality,

and you're giving a lot of thought to how your name is remembered and placing it in your youngest son's middle name just so that it gets remembered. Right. You know, once you get to be 70, you know, knock, knock, knocking. You know what I mean? Yeah. Heaven's door. Yeah. I get the reference. Thank you. You're saying you're almost dead.

I appreciate that. No, I mean, I hope to be here in 15 years. I'll be here. The show will be gone, but I will be in this studio all by myself 15 years from today. That's a good bet. What lasts longer? You know, I've often wondered. I drove by the Clevelander like two weeks ago, and I wondered because it didn't seem there was much activity.

I feel like if I walked into the Clevelander, there's still just the studio there. I got a message on social media that led me to assume the poppy elevator door wrap is still alive. Yeah. There are artifacts of a bygone era. You guys should read, though, about what they're doing over there because it's one of the controversial moves. They're going to build that straight into the sky right now where there's all sorts of fighting going on. Great idea. Super, superb idea in the infrastructure that we have on Miami Beach.

That's a really good idea. Well, if you saw the infrastructure that we particularly had at the Cleveland. That's what I'm saying. It's insane. That's crazy. I mean, at that point, it all feels like this is some grand conspiracy to allow for lawlessness, to devastate an area. So real estate landlords can come over and feel like conquering heroes and have buy-in from an adoring public to clean up the streets. But who would have connection to those real estate landlords? I don't understand. So you guys are out on my football universal biweek?

I think it's a great idea. No, it isn't. No, no. No, we waited too long. The buy week was a six months that happened. Have Tuesday and Wednesday. Get your shit done. Yes.

May I suggest a tweak to Billy's grand idea? Yeah. My tweak would be, call it halftime. It's a halftime show. Yeah, no, talk to the mic, though. The mic's to you left. And the stars are the fans. Oh, wow.

Okay, here's what you do. Yes. You split a season right in the middle between NFL and college. Right in an agreed upon middle, you have a not one, but two week break. A two week break. At half time. Double half time. Of the two seasons.

And you make the fans the stars. What does that mean? Well, you know, the both leagues get together. Goodell and the commissioner of college football, which there is not. I wish I was that. They get together and they have a series of concerts. A fan all-star game nationwide? Yeah.

And the fans perform. Wait. Fans perform. Look, I saw the fans perform on the Zoom pandemic draft where they were all on screens and nobody could be together with each other. And that just made me sad. Now you have a talent show involved in the fans. Billy, I don't know what you're laughing here.

You got us here. It's not the craziest idea. Look, I'm grateful. I took us over to Jalen Bryan's dead. So I'm just grateful that you guys are making a total mess of this just to get me away from the previous total mess I made. But what you're saying is ridiculous. I don't want to replace the football season with two weeks of fans performing. Nationwide, though.

Like an American Idol of sorts. And the two commissioners, one of which doesn't exist, are judges for the talent contest. You take the dolphins as an example since they're from our area. Do the Miami Dolphins have 50 fans who are truly talented? Of course they do. You know, maybe you get an MC, Gloria Estefan, maybe somebody, some local... Are celebrity fans allowed to participate? Oh, yeah, we encourage them.

Darius Rucker could do something. Exactly. Got it. Great Cody could participate. No, but they can't do what they're good at. Like, Darius Rucker would have to cook. Why? Serena Williams could, like, do ballet.

Like, she can't play tennis. That's a thought. Not a good one, but that's a thought. Yeah. Chris, you've got to take this more seriously, man. Toronto. There's another great city that starts with a tea. Tampa, Florida. Fly to Tampa on Porter Airlines to see why it's so terrific.

Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy. Don Lebertard. What do we got here? I got a magnum condom.

We won't get that out. That's shocking. Stugats. Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old. Right next to the condom. He has a subtle reminder. Never forget. This is the Don Lebatar show.

Billy, you've been very critical of Chris in his social media recently. I don't know what Chris is doing wrong that has you in his sights, but what is happening here with Chris Cody? No, not critical. Chris had an interesting social media weekend. So Chris didn't tell us, but Chris apparently went and participated in a poker tournament in which he won. And very early, either Saturday or Sunday morning,

we saw a post go out there that was posted by the tournament that Chris won with a very sleepy-looking Chris Cody sitting at a poker table with all his chips saying that he won and there was a $40,000 pot and all this stuff. So the internet was ablaze talking about Chris Cody and his newfound fortune and all the money that he had won. Chris Cody reposted the celebratory post

saying that he was the big winner of this tournament and this and that and whatever. And then, like, a couple hours later, Chris then made a follow-up post telling people, by the way, didn't win that much money, which was a weird, I thought, kind of turned to this story. Well, it's because the post said tournament, 40K, and I just kind of assume people know, like,

that's the total prize pool. And I had, like, dozens of messages, like, you won 40K? And I was just, like, I just felt the need to get out there of, like, I did win some money, but it wasn't 40K. Why did you feel that need to just tell people I didn't win 40, $40,000? of people being like, let me borrow my, like, dude, you just won 40K? And I'm just like, guys, back

off. So let me get this straight. When you win a poker tournament at X blank place, that place publishes who won their tournament? They have a social media, this particular one. I don't think all places do it. Was it because you're a celebrity or because? If you look, they post every Friday. I wouldn't like that. I wouldn't like that. I want to remain private. I'm a private winner. You know what's funny about that? Boog Shambi won a bunch of money in Vegas. And and Greg Cody reported it in his blog, infuriating Boogshambi, and your father defended his right to do that, and now just contradicts himself by saying, I'd want to keep that private. When you betrayed Boog Shambi one time because he simply won, I don't know, 10 grand playing Blackjack,

and you published it in random evidence of a cluttered mind. He published it on his blog and in the newspaper. Boog's a public figure. But I also have a memory. Tell me if I'm wrong, because this is a vague memory. If you do something private with a public figure, that doesn't make it newsworthy. Chris isn't a public figure? Yeah, public-ish.

Well, you decide that? Yeah. Who else but me? Me maximum. Maybe the public. When you're not busy being the commissioner. Didn't I steal, not steal, but didn't I grab a $500 chip from Boog in a casino once and start running off with it and he got pissed? or am I making all that up?

I have a memory of that. Get Boog on the phone right now and ask him. So you stole $500 from him? I think I did. Did you give it back? And a couple of times over the years, we've reached out to Boog to be on my podcast, Crickets. So I don't think he's a big fan of mine to this day.

You know what? If you win $10,000, you can't keep it a secret. When he tells me he wins $2.000, I assume that he won. I assume that he told his wife. You know me to bleep that one? Come on. Oh, Dad, I posted it on Instagram, but didn't tell my wife. I mean, you know, I'm just assuming.

Yes, you can bleep that, Jeremy. Pretty good, man. All right. Yeah, bleep that. Whatever. It wasn't 40. You just revealed to everybody what the number was when your son had not revealed what the number was. I thought he had. I'm sorry.

Uncle Sam's not listening. You're fine. Let's put that on Cam Norrie. So what are you going to do with all that money? That's not a lot of money to you, Chris. That sounds like a lot of money to me. I've played a lot of poker tournaments. Like, it's not all profit, folks. We're chasing here a little bit.

That's the truth. Well, now we're up, but we were chasing. College fund for Grayson, maybe. Greg. Yeah. What did you just do? The entanglement of what you just did, betraying your son,

betraying Booghambi, being inconsistent in general about what your take is on this and then defending again your right to publish and betraying. both Boog Shambi and now your son. Right. I'm spitting facts. Jack.

Jack. How do we all say it back here? It's the same way when I reported about your engagement to Val. I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm reporting a fact. You're a public figure. Jack. Big star.

Baseball broadcaster. You just said of your son that you wouldn't like it very much if they published. the amount of his winnings, and then you said the amount of his winning. It should be up to him to report it. Yeah. Not up to said casino. Granted, I did share that I won, but I didn't say

the specific amount. So you revealed the only thing I had kept in. No, because they bleeped it out. No, don't bleep it out. No, we're going to bleep it. No, I'm bleeping it. Whoa. Oh, Dan, how to do that?

It was $2,000. It was $2,000 is how much it was. It was $1,000. That's all right. What's second place to get? The best part was, if we're going to get into a little detail here, I got heads up with a guy who called it. I'm not going to disrespect him. He said pro, and I was like, it's late here.

You want to just chop this thing, peace, bleep that, and get out of here. And he's like, you know, I'm a professional, so I'm going to have to decline. I like my edge. It's nothing against you. You played very well. And then I beat him. Damn, right. So then you went.

If we had split, it was two and s' like that. plus extra. Are you fixing? Are you kidding? I'm going to have to put 35 beeps in this hour. You guys don't understand how, like, you can make a deal. At the end of a tournament, and if you don't want to play it out, you can, like, split the money. So you want $1,000.

No. It was 12? Have fun, Jeremy. He won. Don't bleep it out, Jeremy. Leave it all. No, leave it in. I do think comedically it's actually funnier if we bleep all of it.

Yeah, it is. Can you imagine the amount of bleeps these people are going to have to listen to in their car? I don't want to do that. to them just because the mess that Greg Cody just made, I believe the betrayal should stand out right. We shouldn't hide it from our audience. It's already out there. Look, I've had to

live with the worst betrayal from your father. You can live with this betrayal from your father and the consequences of that, and the audience will appreciate the honesty. What is a betrayal? Even though it'll be fun here. The exact amount. He gave the exact amount. No, no, you. Their engagement's not a betrayal. It's a celebration of love.

Thank you. You're ashamed? You didn't want the world to know? It's like the greatest news in his life. Yeah. I share it from the mountain tops. And he gets mad at me. Dance in love. Ridiculous. You celebrated. You're welcome. Well, Valerie then to her. That's right. She wasn't ready for the end up.

Better way to learn than to read it and the herald. Family don't want to earn. Yeah. That's right. Family don't want to earn. Don't want to learn. That's a good, that's a good tombstone for your, for your father. Brought you by Jackings. Guy don't want to earn. You are in. Guy don't want to learn. Brought to you by Drag. Kings. It's pretty good. Yeah, that's not bad.

I won our audience. We're going to have a contest to see who it is that can do better. But yes, the problem there was less with me, though it was also a betrayal of me, that it was my scampering bride who had to then inform everybody of information that your father had released before it was ready to be released. And if we can get a hold of Boogshambi, we can get to the bottom of whether Greg Cody did indeed run off with $500, a $500 chip. But for sure, he betrayed him in print. For sure he did that. Well, I mean, you know, why would he be betrayed?

Did he not tell his significant other that he had won? Is that part of the dynamic? It's not information that he wanted public, and it's the same thing you just, I don't want to do this with you again. You just argued, 10 minutes ago you argued that this is not something that you would want in public. Right. I pointed out to you this past of yours that includes another betrayer. Seems like Greg's just spreading good news. Thank you, Bill.

I haven't heard any negativity that Craig has put out there yet. He's just celebrating his friends and their accomplishments. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, no, there's no doubt about that. And when the, I almost said, I don't know that it was held at a f***. Might not have been. But the casino, the casino puts out there that $40,000 total pot, people can figure out,

well, the winning total of $40K is not $40,000 because they pay others. So, you know, I'm not breaking any. shocking news by saying, bleep well put. That kind of thing. Better tell my wife, huh?

Yeah. No, she knows because she She... Trust me, I lost like a quarter of it instantly. Did you say she confiscated? No, she commented on it is what I said.

Wives love money. She may have confiscated. As soon as I got home with that, she's like, all right, three of this is going to the credit card bill. All people love money. You were going to say, the verb, his wife confiscated it

when he got home. Yeah, I meant to say commented on it when they were at our house for our PFPI fantasy draft yesterday. Lobos really kicked ass. Even Christopher, who hates all my drafts? He had a good draft. Yeah, thank you. Did you do the two half-times? Yeah, we did. Nice. Do you have the Lobos imaging so that we could get all your father's thoughts on this before we get out of here for the post-game show? Let's see if we can get a full

Lobos update here now that he made the big trade that he got... Nope. Good, thank God. Because you're all over fitting to get me on the hard network out. That's what you were doing.
