This is the Don LeBattor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. This episode is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. I need some help here from the group because I don't feel like in this rumbling, tumbling train that we have here that has a lot of distractions that I've gotten to the things that I wanted to get to that include me being stopped on

my bicycle this weekend by a police officer. That was headed somewhere huh? Well that's often happens around here they're the occasional DeHantel rail men and then you got a Hello Dolly song or Billy wants to ride off into the distance with the Marx brothers and you're you know we didn't get to Carl cuz you know problematic that's right and then next thing you know Ed Garland is what you're talking about well when you bring up harness racing you gotta talk about old Eddie G. Ed Garland for those of you who do not know I got a lot of video and pictures from Billy over the weekend it was a lot of warmth he'd serenaded me with his old teacher, Ed Garland,

who is now a harness racer. Well no, he was at the time. Pompano Park, Greg, that's where you did the harness racing, right? Yes, yes. Yeah, that's where he came from. Indeed. From Hoboken. I've kept him alive. I've kept him alive and he's dead.

Who? Ed Garland. I don't think so. Oh, because I think that's what you were just saying to me. I thought that's what you were saying, that old Pompano Park, he was a harness race rider retired. Yeah, retired, I'm assuming, yeah. He may still be doing it.

But he also may not be alive. You don't know or he is alive? I think he is. Okay, but you don't know. Well, I can tell you, I don't wanna betray a source here, so I won't tell you a source, but I know that some of the images that you got were from a Facebook, so I'm assuming that it's active, but they were old images. Well, he's an older gentleman

Yeah, it's been a while since I was all he has Yeah So anyways that was the Ed Garland reference for the people from last week who didn't get the joke that Jeremy and Billy found so Uprorius you got it cuz you're explaining it I got it because you bombarded me all weekend with Ed Garland photos because this is who you are I was just trying to give you context. You're not trying to give me context. You like grabbing your jokes.

No. You weren't trying to bother me this weekend. No, I was trying to have a shared moment. In Billy's defense, he was just trying to provide extra information for you for the context of who this harness racer was that he had referenced before, so that today you could get the joke.

You told me that there was lacking context So I tried to you know provide the appropriate Necessary make the Ed Garland joke I Told you first Make no he'd already made why did he get that yeah, I didn't get that memorandum I'll go through my files and moving forward. I will not make any reference. I've been trying to give you that Good for Ed Mr. Ed that was a horse. Yeah, it was full circle of course Wilbur

Classic let's do another back in my day right now on Wilbur the mr. Ed we can do this all day Don't forget about your body yet when you get him, thank you, Stegatz, thank you. Let's find out the origins of Wilbur. He was just impersonating somebody trying to say a horse's name while naeing sort of like a horse. Well, Mr. Ed was one of Greg's favorite sitcoms in black and white when he was in his like nine years old.

Third person child, Greg Greg Cody or different Greg? Yeah, very young Greg. This was your childhood television, a talking horse. I remember distinctly it was in black and white. But you remember it the way you remember Will Chamberlain's video game, 100 point game that you don't actually remember because it wasn't televised? Better than that, because Wilbur was a talking horse. No, no, no. Mr. Ed was a talking horse

and Wilbur was his owner. And the joke was Mr. Ed would only talk to Wilbur. And then when Wilbur would say, I have a horse, he talks, and then he'd bring somebody into the shed or to the stall. And of course course Mr. Ed would not talk at all. Right. Okay but while I'm on this subject... Always taught at the wrong time. Yeah exactly but you you being arrested while on your bicycle. I didn't say that. I didn't say I was arrested. I think that's the rest of the story we'll hear that in a second. Drinking and riding right? Yeah it reminded me George Jones the the legendary country singer. Bones Jones. I don't know exactly when this was, but George

Jones, he had had his license suspended and he wanted to drive to a liquor store, so he decided to drive his riding lawnmower to a liquor store and was cited for DUI on a riding lawnmower. So that just goes to prove any vehicle will do. Now, on with your story. What's really amazing about that, Greg, is the first episodes of Mr. Ed aired exactly one year, 11 months, and two days after the death of Buddy Holly. How about that?

You don't always have to talk like a broadcaster. Sorry, I was broadcasting baseball games over the weekend. It broke my brain. Great coincidence, huh? It is. Jeremy's working too much. It's good to know, Jeremy. Thank you.

You think? Well, let's talk about this, because Jeremy was at the center of a very nice moment. It was lovely this weekend in that the Marlins had a legitimately fun ending to a game. Mason Miller throws 104 miles an hour. Everyone does. No, no, not every, I understand what you're saying.

I do understand what you're saying. Lot of heat out there. Are all this Chapman still out there throwing 104s somewhere? Look, look, I will tell you this, because I really do love this sport, because the Mets have a single A player who is throwing 104 miles an hour,

and I cannot trust a single A player with that kind of arm. I'm telling you right now that even if I were a professional hitter, I would refuse to work under those circumstances. A single A pitcher throwing 104 miles an hour where he doesn't know where that ball is going yet? No thank you, that's not a sport I'm playing. That's happening in single A,

the arms are bigger and stronger than they've been. But this Oakland A throws harder than any human being throws a baseball. Not in Oakland anymore, in Sacramento. Okay, so for, so, so wasn't this home run, wasn't this grand slam off of Mason Miller? This is off of Mason Miller. It's a hundred and one miles per hour that Kyle Stowers at the top of the zone gets on top of. So it's not just all of this okay so you've got two outs bottom of the night it's the dream scenario the bases are loaded and the guy throwing hard you take him opposite field right and I think the way that I heard the announcers call it this sport can be tricky for the announcers that way they didn't initially know that that would go out opposite field that way and they were

worried it was just a fly ball and they realize no that that was a hundred four if someone makes contact it's going to also go out very fast and so but you end up getting this audio swing of the ball lifted if you suddenly a decent crowd uh... and listen to this is a great moment And in the middle of it at the end, Jeremy, who's working too hard and still in broadcaster voice, he discards all semblance of journalism

and simply embraces Stowers. Yes, just ridiculous. Yeah, that's me. Yes, that's not. That a boy? That's not Jeremy. Shake, a little half hug. That's not the great thing.

Congratulate the man. Smiling as big as I am. He just hit a walk-off grand slam. I think I'm allowed to give him a little high five. The face though, look at Jeremy's face. He's so happy. Yes, but it's- That's my first major league win.

I don't think- My first major league win is a walk-off grand slam? Jeremy does this with the basketball games. Dude, does Jason Jackson keep his record? That's my win. I'm just saying- That's my first major league win. All the heat games, he's like, I'm nine and two this year.

I'm like- Yeah, well when the heat are like under 500 at home it is kind of peculiar that I get to have an over 500 record. I mean, Waslow thinks he's a two-time champion. Yeah, I mean come on. I'm not allowed to be excited about a win? I was just going to bring that up. An unnamed broadcaster whose name begins with Z in his description says two-time NBA championship.

Champion. Really? What'd you do in those championships you really pounced on that huh yeah that's been in my crawl for a little while huh you don't say you know come on two time NBA champion please whatever okay I covered both of the Marlins World Series am I a two-time World Series champion kidding me Do you have a ring? I mean, I, yeah, I have a little replica ring as a matter of fact because, because at the

time I had season tickets for my family, but never wore the ring. Why do you hate Zaslow? I don't. I just think it's fun. I think it's hilarious, patently ridiculous that any broadcaster in his self-description would refer to himself as a two-time champion because he broadcasts those games. You didn't win a championship. You described a championship. You're not a two-time NBA champion. And that's nothing personal against Zaz, though, because I would say it, of any broadcaster

who referred to himself, you know, as an eight-time champion because he broadcasts those championships. You disagree? I haven't been there yet, Greg, but I will say, I sure felt like a winner after that, after a walk-off Grand Slam where they're throwing a Gatorade bath on top of the player,

and then he's coming over to me, and we're sharing and what the emotions are after that game. after a walk off Grand Slam where they're throwing a Gatorade bath on top of the player and then he's coming over to me and we're sharing and what the emotions are after that game. It makes me feel good. I don't know if I would consider myself a champion if my team won. If the team that I'm broadcasting for all season long and go through that every single game ultimately gets there,

it's a marathon. Like you feel like you did your part, I I would imagine if you're Jonathan Zaslow at the same time No He did not win them the championship players on the floor. I totally get what you're saying because You're paid by the team, right? I am NOT okay. You're heaps coming up for I'm really sick of that But you are paid let's just move on I I'm really sick of that one. Okay, but you are paid. Let's just move on.

I think we should talk about Jeremy Moore. I think we shouldn't talk about who pays me. This is the dream scenario for Jeremy and narcissism and slapped on the ass and first major league win. And I'm 9 and 2 in these games. And he's an up and coming broadcaster and this is how journalism is done now and as low as an up-and-coming uh... broadcaster nas farad to uh... devil's feet and they're here to do journalism differently than you do it

can i ask you a question in all seriousness and am i wrong here do you think that is as low just to use a random uh... broadcaster when you see that he described himself as a two-time NBA champion you think what? I think it's funny how people wrap their identity in sport. I have a question so and Jeremy this question is not for you it's for us about you so in a walk-off situation most reporters try to evade getting the cooler dumped on them. Jeremy was hoping.

He would love it. He would love it. He would love it. He would love it. He would love it. He would love it. Like, we're deep in the fight to push Stowers out of the way. Make your grand slam.

Come on, guys. I'm surprised he wasn't Chris Bosh in the championship. I was so mad that they poured the Gatorade on him before he came over to me. He took off his jersey and they just did it on top of the shirt before and he got his solo moment. And I was like, come on, man, look at my suit. Where is it?

If we can see this again, we can see the jocular lack of intimacy solo moment. And I was like, come on, man, get around. Where is it, where is the cooler? If we can see this again, we can see the jocular lack of intimacy in a hand to the right side, but Stowers is immediately off to other things. Watch, he goes off to the left. He's not interested in having this joyous moment. Like, Jeremy's in the middle of it. He can spill into it.

They can have some fun together, but he's gonna get off and out of that situation as fast as he possibly can. And I'll slap you on the ass here real quick. But Jeremy, Jeremy seemed very eager to jump up into the arms of Stowers. And Stowers is like, my teammates are over here on the left. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna greet this person

because I have to professionally, contractually do an interview here, but I prefer to be with people I like more than this. Now that's my guy, his in-laws were sitting down the third base line, he had to give a little wave hello. I mean, come on, you gotta do the work that way. Indiana Jones, Hat Hall of Fame. Well this is, thank you Billy, thank you.

Who else? Alright, so Hat Hall of Fame, thank you. That's one thing I haven't gotten back to, and there was another thing that I wanted to get back to. The bike. The bike, but also also me being wrong about the Clippers I wanted to gods to make a sort of thong song today about me being wrong but Jeremy swooped in and knocked him out of the way and said I want to make a

song about plus we've already done this we've already done that but we didn't do it with Stugatz. I think Stugatz trying to do it would have also been good, but Jeremy didn't have any time for it. So, he wanted to make fun of me before everyone else made fun of me about how wrong I was about the Clippers. Got the body of a walrus, got takes that are dropping bad, damn leviton. He's had real faith in those lions, yeah. And also Mike Lennon, and now his team's hardened. And now it seems hardin' Even though Dan knew he cannot ever win game

sevens Dan believed in the Clippers It's hardin' and two bots and Leonard Dan you shoulda known better Dan believed in the Clippers Bot on a bitch and he's bitchin' at Powell Shoulda just thrown in the towel I was 4 for 11, Norm Powell I'm so pissed off. You gotta go over 17 and a half there. You just wanna be noticed. And believe in the Clippers.

I think I know why Denver's named and hardened. They both got tummies that soften. And believed in the Clippers. It's infuriating. I mean, he's gonna be one of the biggest chokers of all time, right? Like just reputationally where yes when when we look at people That you can't even take the stigma off of them What who's gonna be going in this class you are the MVP?

But when it comes to the end of games you're gonna go 7 for 44 from 3 when you got a chance to beat Durand When you got a chance because this the gods to gods the history of all this if you're watching the last fifteen years of this insanity oklahoma city in these fifteen years since lebron team dot uh... wade and bosh you had ok cedard harden westbrook and derange crazy that they're all still in the way various states of disrepair but on that and westbro's the only one still playing.

Well, yes, Westbrook's the only one who's still got games to play and getting techs and describing the Westbrook experience correctly when he says, yeah, you're going to get turnovers and steals. I'm going to miss threes. I'm going to make threes. I'm going to dunk. And I'm going to miss threes.

And I'm going to make threes. And I'm going to run around. And I'm going to steal. I'm Russ. Yeah, and I'm going to be at the, somehow, I'm going to be just more fast twitch muscle fiber than anybody, I'm gonna make threes and I'm gonna run around and I'm gonna steal. I'm Russ. Yeah, and I'm gonna be, somehow I'm gonna be just more fast twitch muscle fiber than anybody. Even at the end, because this part's just super weird to me,

like when we talk about how these guys have aged. Of course I thought that game would age poorly. He's one of the worst three point shooters in the history of the sport, but he scored 44 points in a finals game back when Durant and Harden were on his team, at least in part, because he knew back then Harden couldn't be trusted. Everybody did back then.

Harden vanished then. I'll take these shots. Of all the ones you've seen Harden vanish from, the one that people least remember is OKC when Harden was great all season and then would not be heard from at the end. Heat OKC. And now look at everything that's happened since, which is Harden has a hell of a lifestyle, man. Great fun. Huge fun. MVP. okay see and i look at everything that happens at which is part has a hell of a lifestyle man great fun

huge font mvp a collect checks the rest of time and game seven i won't be there for that one the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the guys handle that one yourself i'm gonna just hang out here on the perimeter of a good to free throws i'm gonna get i'm gonna get a bunch of a sis but i'm not gonna actually control

the game he was sitting back like Kawhi's got this one, and Kawhi didn't show up either. It's not that he didn't show up, it's that they know that they don't have to bother with Harden. Well, when it comes to Westbrook. Double teamed him. They made the game very, very difficult for Kawhi Leonard.

I just think that we should celebrate Russell Westbrook, because this guy, understandably, because of what ended up happening in sort of the steep drop-off that happened quickly in his career in terms of efficiency, we sort of wrote him off as, oh, he doesn't deserve this and he's not that and he never won on his own. In an era where Steph Curry was the most entertaining player,

bar none, Russell Westbrook was the second most entertaining player. And he was in series after series that were interesting. He's been a part of all these different teams that have either lost in big moments, or won in big moments, or upset teams that should have won. And he, in this game, that moment with the breakaway dunk, with the technical foul, where he's yelling at the crowd and getting them out of here. It's four years of rage.

That's as entertaining as anything you'll ever see of here. It's three years of rage. It's four years of rage. That's as entertaining as anything you'll ever see on a basketball court. I love that guy. I have described him for a long time as playing sort of like a radiator hisses and the defiance of the last four years. I can't imagine how,

we talked about the way that Giannis faced disrespect. I can't imagine how great it felt for Russell Westbrook, MVP, average a triple double, to tell everybody in America, go bleep yourself. You don't have any earthly idea how great I am at this thing that I do. And just because I have the audacity to age, and it's tough in this league of competitive people to age, all of that came out in that moment but uh... i'd i'd just can't believe that history will remember to rant in westbrook much differently than it will remember hardened because this is a really really excellent player who not only chokes in big games but when you said that westbrook and lebron entertaining

games and drama and whatnot and exciting to watch Hardin ruined the game aesthetically Ruined it like started right there with oh you're gonna do all this stuff with usage rate and three and fouls And you're gonna just be keep running into people and and so it's not only we're gonna hate him for not being big in the big Moments it's that in game seven you can't do your dirty tricks of getting a bunch of fouls either because you're not because you're not Actually involved in the in the parts of the game that require That the heaviest lifting from a number one after another one of these can the 15 year olds on the internet who are trying to say That James Harden is better than Dwayne Wade. Just shut the fuck up

Cursing from I what is that like what is get out of here No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no thin line though, right? I mean, he's expected to be a pro Marlins broadcaster, unless I'm wrong, okay? Unless I'm wrong. Do you think Eric Reid, like, when he introduces himself to people, do you think he says, I'm the voice of the heat, or four-time NBA champion? Not that I'm aware of, and I think more of him for not doing that. That wasn't a not that I'm aware of and I think more of him for not doing that. That wasn't a not that I'm aware of Question he was asking you which way he introduced himself four-time NBA champion or voice of the Miami Heat or neither

I think voice of the Miami Heat is descriptive and accurate right voice of the Miami Heat is even more obnoxious than four-time champion Hello, I'm Eric Reid. Oh, I don't think voice of the Miami Heat No, no Rick Weaver was the voice of the Miami Dolphins for years, which is more obnoxious than four-time champion. Hello, I'm Eric Reid. Oh, I don't think so. Voice of the Miami Heat. No, no, Rick Weaver was the voice of the Miami Dolphins for years. Which is more obnoxious. You guys tell me, introduce yourself. But he actually is the voice of the Heat. But he's also a four-time champion.

No he isn't. I know, but Greg is saying he's not. No he isn't. He is not. Well, he's not actually the voice of the Heat either. He's just somebody who broadcasts their game. Pat Riley is the voice of the Heat. Okay, well, you know, if you wanna, for now.

Yeah. Yes, until he gets fired by Stephen A. Smith. Well, no, or LeBron and Kevin Durant come together. According to that report. To some, yeah.

Guys, I want to talk to you about something that I don't think we think about enough on a daily basis, and that's comfort. Specifically when it comes to underwear. Because let's be real, when it's not right, you're going to feel it all day. And that's why I want to tell all of you about Tommy John. Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same.

Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container, and this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture. There's a genuine comfort, and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me.

I know it's gonna be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all day confidence. If you haven't tried Tommy John yet, I personally think you're missing out. These are the MVP of your underwear drawer, with up to four times more stretch than other brands. Something I definitely appreciate.

Don LeBattard.

My wife says this is a sexy voice. It really is. Yeah. I'm hard. Thank you. Wow. Stugats. So am I actually.

I don't know why. This is the Don LeBattard show with the Stugats. The couple of things that I wanted to get to that I've gotten derailed from and I want to know if you guys know this. The Hat Hall of Fame, I need to get a Hat Hall of Fame from you. And I got pulled over because I went through a stop sign on my bicycle and I did not know that you couldn't just roll through stop signs on your bicycle. I didn't know that bicycles had the same set of road rules as cars. I thought you could just roll right through intersections if you see nothing's going on

and you're on a bike path. It's not a yield sign, it's a stop sign. I know, but I thought it was for cars. I didn't think it was for a bicycle, so I ask you the question. Bicycles have their own lanes now. I know, but I don't think of stop signs. I think of if I'm on a bicycle, like if I'm going on a road that's 15 miles per hour and I can see clearly on both ends that there is no car.

I'm not in a vehicle dangerous enough to others that I need to stop there. I thought I could just roll through that. Do you think that cyclists that are listening to this stop at every stop sign? Because I don't see a whole lot of people stopping at stop signs unless there are cars coming through the intersection. I see all over South Florida bikes rolling through stop signs. I did not in any way expect to be pulled over so much so that while the cop is next to me with the lights flashing, I wave and say hello. Oh really? And did you keep going?

Yeah, I kept riding. I kept riding. Yes, it was a, that's right. So the cop thought you were trying to get away? Well, yes. Dan almost pulled off to the side. Disrespectful at the very least. I wasn't trying to pedal away fast. You pulled off to the side. I was resisting arrest. He pulled you over and said, all right, all right, officer, let's take this picture and keep it moving. Well, I thought that's what it was.

The move is where you pull off to the side thinking they're just gonna pass you, but then they pull behind you and you're like, oh wait, what? Okay, listen, all right, so I was doing something nice for you. When I say listen literally, very few people are in their cars more than police officers

and so there are a lot of police officers, more so than anything else. I often get pulled over by police officers who just want to say hello. Because I'm driving around in slow places. Well the paper they give you is called a ticket and you gotta pay those. It's not like a fanfare for meeting you.

They let you offer to warning police, Tony. Yes they did. What? Really? Oh come on. But I didn't know it was a crime. You talked your way out of it. You talked your way out of it. It doesn't work for anyone. Go ahead Roy, say was a crime. You talked your way out of it.

You talked your way out. You talked your way out. Go ahead Roy, say it. To Americans. At Levitard Show, is a black person more likely to be arrested rolling through a stop sign on a bicycle? I would like to. Do you know the officer's name by any chance?

No. I would like to give that officer a medal of honor. Possibly even a presidential medal of freedom. I can't give those, but maybe one day. I can't give those, but maybe one day. I can't give those, but like this police officer, I don't use this term lightly, is a hero. Because the people that ride bikes and are constantly not paying attention

to any of the laws of the road because they believe that they're just on bikes and they don't need to, really are a hazard and danger to everyone else involved, because you just run straight through. I was driving down the street the other day and there was a woman running with headphones on and I'm turning and she just runs straight across the street

without even looking both ways because she couldn't hear cars coming. People need to be more aware of their surroundings and more often than not, and you know what, I support our boys in blue, I respect them, all of that, right? But more often than not, please let things go that you'd like to see them not let go.

Like I was driving today on the expressway and I saw motorcycles zooming full speed through a bus only lane just to not be in traffic. There was a cop two cars ahead of me and I was sitting back and I was like, we're gonna go get them or what? What are we doing here? Come on, let's put an end to this.

And it didn't happen. So I would like to commend this officer for upholding the law with you, Dan Levitard, rogue bike rider. What? For paying attention, Billy, for paying attention. Someone out there is paying attention. Saving lives, really.

Probably Dan's life, honestly. Yeah. At Levitard Show, did you know that you could be arrested for rolling through a stop sign on your bicycle? Well, you weren't arrested. I know, that you could be arrested for rolling through a stop sign on your bicycle well you weren't arrested I know but you could be I was not aware you were drunk I was not drunk yeah that's not part of the story no I happen to know the guy who slurs his way into the bushes is hello no why didn't that go as hello Dolly why was it just hello said that way?

a whole different retort You guys all knew this everyone knew this I'm the only one who didn't know that you can't ride on a bicycle a little bit differently than we do according to regulation Street law in vehicles like drag racers I will admit that when I'm driving in my car and I see a bike come to a stop at a stop sign I rolled on my window and I go nerd and I just a stop at a stop sign, I roll down my window and I go nerd and I just screech away. You know I mean you don't see- In your Corvette?

Yeah, you just don't see bikes stop at a stop sign. You slayed them in your Corvette, you drove off. Imagine how it's going to be when they're driving on that arch. Yes, exactly. Dan, you should feel very, very lucky Dan that they let you off with a warning because according to our crack investigative team, Dan, you have an outstanding speeding ticket for $200 in Miami Beach.

So if that officer had known he could have pulled you over, Dan, you could be in jail right now for all we know. Unbelievable. You didn't run the records. It's ridiculous, Dan. Did somebody run a public records thing right now? Are you just making that up? We have a great investigative journalism team.

Your middle name is Thomas, correct? Yes. Yeah, that's you. I do that too. I'm a journalist. I have an outstanding ticket that you guys. Everyone does. I feel like everyone's got some outstanding ticket.

I definitely have one. I have like seven or eight from different parking garages, that's for sure. My wife will pay it for you. I get a bill every month for like some past, like you owe us, it's like I paid you. Can you get her lean on please so that I can talk to her and ask her some questions?

She wasn't available an hour ago, I'll check. Okay, so the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. Are you gonna ask her to pay your ticket? I mean, Greg did offer it, so. She would. The Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. With, fine. With. I mean mean I appreciate the mention of it, but it's with, not featuring. That's right. Get that straight. It's part of the title of the show.

It's like if I called your show the Dan Leventhal Show and Sue Gotts. That would be nice. That would slay. That would slay. You better step back. That would slay. It would be a Greg. That's a little close to home. What's going on?

Been waiting for that mistake for 20 years. The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. With, yeah, with, thank you. He was mad and I don't know if you guys saw how spicy he was when he came in here. And I don't know, Chris, if you understood. I saw you just mouthing out traffic and that's part of it.

Put it on the poll at LeBotard Show. Do you find yourself increasingly angry in traffic and after traffic? Because he did storm in here, but it wasn't just traffic that was bothering him. He said that the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody was, went out today 90 minutes too late, you don't understand, or maybe you do Chris as his producer, the amount of narcissism that your father was feeling, and I want to tell everyone how I danced at the wedding.

Like, that would be released 90 minutes late, that you wouldn't allow him to make your brother's wedding immediately about him and the things that he felt and saw so that he could have content to America. He came in here enraged and said, quote, inexcusable, inexcusable that I went out 90 minutes late today talking about me and more me and more me on a podcast named Twice For Me,

the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. He likes to just, he likes to just rip people. He did it at the hotel the other night. Me and my brother and my dad dad waiting to get into the hotel were going to like these getting changed getting ready for the wedding he's painting me in a and portrait here it was supposed to be ready at one they kindly told us hey sorry we're gonna be ready 115 and just my dad huffing and puff where wedding get we're on the top people checking in he's like they're

not staying always a spoiled those people are not saying why do they get their own before I was just crushing mark he's a in, he's like, they're not staying in a suite. Oh, he's a spoiled dad. Those people are not staying in a suite. Why do they get the room before us? He was crushing Mark, huh? He's a toddler and he's free now and he's empowered and enriched by book fame and podcast riches and he can't be controlled. You should have seen him puffing and puffing. Yeah, can't be controlled, everyone.

I was puffing, I was not huffing. Giving looks to the, making people uncomfortable, like just not even speaking. I shamed him, I shamed him out of going up there and physically speaking to them. So he's just like steam coming out of his ears, just staring at them. Entitled toddler.

It's a total exaggeration. I was not, I was not being rude to anyone. I did point out to them that we had made this arrangement weeks ago. Like most reservations are. With the understanding that we had to be in this suite at a certain time and we were told in advance it'll be available at one.

It is a big day too. It's a big day. Yeah. And it was a mistake by them but they were apologetic. They were like, it'll be 15 minutes. Just the idea of. He wants the room. He doesn't want apology.

No, no, no, look, it's how about you, it's how you handle these things. He needed to let them know that he was frustrated. It's like they- I handled it with applause. They acknowledged the mistake. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes and that wasn't good enough. He had to like let them, he had to keep pacing by the desk letting them know how angry he

was. No, I mean, you are exaggerating, you'll admit. Was I angry? Did I convey that in the most polite way possible? Yes That's correct You know, I just want to address here was I angry in the most polite way possible and with the song I handled that with a plum Like so I know I don't know how you define a plot. How do you define a plum?

Is this the fruit handling them with not a problem like a purple thing yeah a p l o m b hit to handle something with a aplomb to handle it with great grace i don't think of that as seeding anger that have to stop being around with your son embarrassed by the way that you're behaving that's the opposite of great aplomb. My anger was was definitely hidden.

But not from your son. No it wasn't. Well you you you know me. I walked into the room and I could just see it on your face. I'm like what's wrong? He's like we're supposed to be in the room by now. It's one o'clock they said 115. They've apologized but it's not good enough.

I mean along the timelines one o'clock if you're going to the hotel room to get ready, by three o'clock, Greg was three drinks in at the venue, there's not a lot of wiggle room there. Billy, I will tell you this. I right now, I would win. I'll have no choice but to run for president of the United States, just like Stephen A. Smith, with the platform of I will make federal mandate

noon check-in at hotels. Nice. Now you're talking. Well then check out is like 8 AM. You got my vote. You got my vote too. You'd have to check out at 8 AM. I thought that part out, it's like the tariffs.

Leap off with your details. I'm just running on federally mandated every hotel noon check-in. You got my vote. Executive order. Thank you. Super Bowl Saturday. Thank you my vote. Executive order. I do that on a Super Bowl Saturday. Thank you Dan. Thank you Dan. Thank you Dan.

Thank you Dan. Thank you Dan. Thank you Dan. I have not thought of the consequences that no one wants to leave their hotel room a day later yet. No. Yeah, but it also shouldn't take housekeeping four hours to clean a day a week. There we go.

Well, and there's a lot of rooms. They have a lot of rooms. That's who we're getting. A lot of rooms. A lot of floors they've got to go to. Be careful whenever you leave a Well, and there's a lot of rooms. They have a lot of rooms. That's who we're getting. A lot of floors that you gotta go to. Careful whenever you leave a tip. This feels like a mistake. Leave a tip. Don't allow the elite to get around

how it is housekeeping should be working. Next thing you know, you're gonna have people deported. It's Dan. Not him, he wouldn't do that. Okay, it's not rocket science. Do you tip housekeeping? Is what you're doing right now? If I'm staying there for more than a couple of days, absolutely.

If I'm staying there for three hours, like I was Saturday, I wouldn't. Wait a minute, you tip housekeeping? Yeah. If I'm there for an extended period of time, sure. One day, two day, you'll leave money on the pillow? Usually on the desk. I'm surprised to hear you do that. My wife does does in all honesty Oh, dude is yeah, and I asked her how much you leave for a tip because I'm thinking 20 bucks and

She'll tell me something that she thinks is palatable to me, and I triple it I'm shocked that you're good with 20 because we've done the whole thing here with valets where you have He's trying to break a five he just He loved let's get your mother on the phone. He just said he tripled your mom's tips. She's gonna blow a gasket. You think he was mad about that room? Him out here claiming that he will triple his wife's tips

when I know him to be a cheap man. No, no, what I mean is she, I triple what she tells me she left for a tip. In his head. Oh, I see what you're saying. In your head, right. She lies to him about the tips. You don't tip at all and you would not tip.

No. You would not tip. No, she might, depending on my mood. I might. Depending on my mood. She tells him she tipped 20 and he assumes it was actually 60. I get it, I'm sorry.

I'm not taking a crap in the bed. There's nothing I'm leaving for the housekeeping. You're sleeping with those feet in that bed. Yeah, that's true. I saw for the first time a hotel not too long ago that actually had a QR code if you wanted to tip the housekeeping, which I thought was awesome. That's great.

Because I never have cash. Oh, but I am so tired of everyone wanting a tip for everything. I know, I hate that too. Like, this is just a proliferation of tips for everything. It's because we pay them totally unlivable wages. There is that. It is a cry There is that It is a cry for help It's a cry for help on the internet. Tip me for something. You've never tipped for because I'm slave labor

It is a cleaning my room. I mean, you know how much disgusting my room is I can imagine again though. I get back to I want some clarifications here depending on my mood couple of days He would not tip housekeeping He was just taking credit for his wife his wife treat Tipping housekeeping. Yes. Well, I mean you go in a cruise ship and the tips built-in you have no choice But the tip right which I don't like I think tipping should be an option at all times under all circumstances. How about uber? Because the tip is built in I mean well circumstances. How about Uber? Because the tip is built in. I mean, well, Uber is a fine line because I don't want my

Uber driver to talk to me too much. Put it on the poll. Do you like, do you tip Uber? And do you tip housekeeping? I'm going to guess most people do not tip housekeeping. I was stunned to hear you say that and then less stunned when I found out you don't actually and you object to your wife doing so. No, I object to how much she's leaving for a tip. You would do it if you if it depends on your mood

Yeah, yeah and depends on the service your but your mood would always be to not tip No, no, not really. No if I'm there for a couple of days if I'm one night in the room I don't know the distinction you're making there one night three nights Well, I just want that one night seven nights one night two nights nine nights. No one night I won't tip unless I've asked for a nice favor two nights nine nights no one one night i won't tip in less is that i've asked for a nice little favor two nights two nights from is a maybe three-night three or more nights is is pretty much that and let's go and let's house keeping has been a little bit surly yes early yeah

and you let them have it they got a lot of stuff that i've got a better and you know learn
