Episode Date: April 30, 2024

Taylor has arrived in New York and joins us from the platform in Penn Station to discuss his 28-hour journey to New York. What does he do now? Where will he shower? Will he even make it to the game or sleep right through it? Dan then transitions to a conversation about the controversy surrounding South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem, and her dog. Greg Cote was the victim of an attempted bribe to keep a no-hitter alive at 18 years old and the crew wants to know what it would have taken for him to change his ruling.

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Lebatore Show with the Stugats Podcast. Stugats, I have asked the people who have been this far along on the journey with us to support the people who support us and game time has been a very good sponsor to the show they have taken Taylor who is a Knicks fan and turned him into content they have made him somebody who on behalf of metal art media is riding through the swamp ass of the eastern seaboard in a train to get to Madison Square Garden and a train station so that he can be foul and smelly

around Joellen Beed this evening. It is a Knicks fans dream and delight to be loud and proud on a train headed to support the Knicks tonight. It's called Penn Station, it's not your average train station. Okay, it's Penn Station. All right, but it's ass, it smells like ass train station. It's 28 hours.

It's the Mecca, so yeah, and it drops you off right there, belches you out into Madison Square Garden, where you can then heckle and make fun of Joel Embiid. So Taylor has arrived, our thanks to Game Time for making all of this happen. Taylor, where are you, what are you doing, what are the stories from the trip that are worth telling? 28 hours on a train.

Yeah, I am in Penn Station. Stu, I could kiss the ground right now, but you know how dangerous of a game that would be. Wouldn't do it. Very, very dangerous game. I get on the train and the first stop, there's nobody sitting next to me. The second stop, somebody gets on and sits next to me.

I'm like, hey, where are you going? And this guy's like, I'm going all the way to New York. I'm like, oh, my God, this it was worst case scenario. A guy sitting next to me, the entire train ride. But along the way, Florence, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., people were stopping and really treating me like I was running a marathon looking at them and You know a lot of them were saying like Taylor you could do it. We believe in you. It felt a little weird

Like fans of the show fans of the show are climbing aboard the train during stops and bringing you like snacks and support Yes, exactly They're asking me what kind of snacks I like, when I'm going to be in their city. They're tracking the trains to see when my stop was going to come through their town. And some of these are like 2 AM in the middle of the night. Well, wait a minute.

How much time do they have with you at each stop? Do they just run in and give you like some goldfish and then run out? It feels like when you feel like a garbage guy going through a town where it's like he gets off, he puts the garbage and he's still, the truck is still moving, he's got to jump back on. That's what it felt like at times.

And I tried to talk to them for a bit, but then somebody from the train would be like, hey, you gotta get back on. And I think everybody would kinda look it right at him. So it's literally Taylor Swiftly. It's as quickly as we can do this, you have to get back on the train. Nice meeting you.

I was only here for four minutes on my way to 28 hours elsewhere. Yeah, and a lot of people were looking at me like, why is this guy getting off the train and who are these people? You're a big celebrity. No, who's getting off at 2 a.m. They think you're a drug mule along the Eastern Seaport You've got these choreographed stops where people are handing you boxes. You're being arrested by a bunch of teams when you arrive at Madison Square Garden Yeah, and the guy who was sitting next to me on the plane was like, yeah, I'm afraid of flying. So I was just vacationing in Orlando. So I'm coming back to New York

and he was like, what are you doing? And I'm like, how much time do you have? It's kind of a long story, kind of a weird story. Nothing, nothing really makes sense about it, but bad news for Joel and B to I made it. Do you have anything left? Taylor, are your legs gonna be underneath you today because they're gonna need every ounce of that energy. And once again, thank you to Game Time.

Terms apply. Game Time was very kind to send Taylor to Madison Square Garden via train. I was told- Yeah, am I big enough? That was a question for Taylor. Oh, sorry, no, I was told as part of his penance was he doesn't have a room.

So are you just wandering the streets from now until game time? I'm from New York, so a little bit outside the city, so I'm gonna have to try to figure out how to meet up with my parents later. I'm gonna send a few texts to Pablo, see if I could shower at Pablo's. Oh, um. We couldn't get your hotel room the answers no from Pablo

Listen, there's a blarney stone a couple of blocks away. Go there. Tell Jimmy Stu got sent you He'll have you spend the entire day there. He'll make you some soup It will be a great time or you can go to the heart which is right down the block you tell Mikey there That's to got sent you you're good big clams clams, fantastic. Taylor, do me a favor. Taylor, do this and record it. Say that all again, please. Do this, try and get what Stugats is promising you, and take me where that journey ends up, please.

The baked clams specifically. The heart, which is right down the block, that's Mikey. Tell him Stugats sent you great baked clams. I recommend the cheeseburger, perhaps the two dogs and french fries. Very good, okay? Not dirty water dogs and french fries. Very good. Okay, not dirty water dogs. You can get those anywhere.

These are harp dogs. Okay? But what's Mikey going to do for him? Well, Mikey will take care of them. Freedom like a king. He'll have a place to stay the entire time. I believe there's a shower at the harp, so you'll be able to shower there. And then you have the Blarney stone just a couple of blocks away.

Okay, but you're offering Taylor, he's saying he's going to shower at Pablo's. I'm offering him a roof. I mean, that's what I'm doing. You're offering Taylor, he's saying it's going to shower at Pablo's. I'm offering him a roof. I mean, that's what I'm doing. You're offering him lodging. Well, and alcohol. Yeah. Food and lodging. Yes, and friends and conversation.

Should you be doing that on behalf of somebody without checking with them first? Well, I'm going to talk to Mikey. Tell him to God set you. See how it goes. I trust you. There you go. All right. My biggest worry is that I've slept

Maybe in like 30 minute increments for for the entire 20th hour trip that I'm gonna be so tired that I fall asleep before The game and miss the game completely You weren't able to sleep on the train Very few and far between you any other highlights worth reporting No, the train ride was for for all the little people everybody who doubted Everybody who said I couldn't do something. Yes So thank you Okay underdog except

Hero Taylor's a real hero on behalf of his Knicks. What did he do? He just sat there for 28 hours. He did have to talk to somebody like the whole time. I had that guy chirping at him. That's real bad. He sat there and alerted the authorities. Did you trade contact info?

You don't tell that guy your destination. What you do to get rid of him is say, hey, this is my stop. You get out, you get on a different cart. I mean, that's what you do. Okay, but they're assigned seats. I mean, really? You still have no wallet?

It's actually not the incorrect. Stunning that Stugats would be a train expert. You sit where you want. Okay, good talk, Stugats. I'm glad that you would provide excellent analysis of GA on a train for 28 hours. Don't know the last time you've been on a train. Don't wanna talk to you about this anymore.

Taylor, thank you for being on with us. Excellent dismount. Say hi to Mikey. been on a train don't want to talk to you about this anymore Taylor thank you for being on with us excellent oh was that the promo code you were trying to say trip from hell trip from hell there it is just a skew I love that at the end of the video just a train station a heroic finish to a heroic trip 28 hours where he just sat his ass on a train. It would be unpleasant. We're all agreeing with that, right? There are very few circumstances, if you're not in a room that has a bed in it or something, that sitting on a train for 28 hours

isn't gonna be unpleasant, right? It sounds very unpleasant, and kudos, Taylor. The Knicks mean that much to him that he would pitch this idea himself. To get some air time, come on. We know what's going on there. But this was good. So pretty much now the bar is he's either got to be on a speed boat or a ride or ride up the entire Eastern seaboard via train. And we actually like the person in the pudding solid segments.

I want to, well, one memorable segments. One of them derailed our relationship with the Daily Show But memorable segments nonetheless the the thing I wanted to ask you guys because I Know a lot of people object to me quote-unquote talking politics or being about politics when Yesterday is about a sports sea of a show as we've ever done because I also like sports, but I am interested in the human condition and not politics. But I saw here a story, and let's just take the politics out of it for a second

because a South Dakota governor, put it on the pole, Juju, at LeBataard Show, have you ever met somebody from South Dakota? I have not at LeBataard Show, have you ever met somebody from South Dakota? I have not at LeBotard Show. Have you ever met someone from South Dakota? But South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is being talked about or is being talked about as a vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump. And I don't want to get into everything that will be happening in 2024 as we try to distract ourselves with sports during a poisoned election year where we're really

choosing between two old people who don't represent the the best of what you'd want for our future and leadership just because they're in real i don't mean to be ageist about this but we can do better in terms of declining mental facilities on both counts and everything that you're seeing in front of you has a lot of poison in it and Christine O.M. is now under duress because do you guys know this story? She has written in a book evidently that she had a dog a a 14-month-old dog, who was named Cricket. And Cricket, evidently, ate up like a neighboring chicken pen. And so in proving that she's what America needs for the future and how tough she is to get messy and ugly,

she took Cricket, 14-month-old dog, out and shot it, killed it, and did it herself. And people are arguing about this, whether this is fit for leadership or not, and it just got me to thinking about everything that happened with Michael Vick and how Michael Vick is, him and Craig Carton are the only ones who are allowed to come back from felony to doing sports media and having public voice. Michael Vick couldn't have expected whatever was coming with him from dog lovers, but when you guys hear this, just this, take the politics out of it and just make what it is I am the

story. When you hear somebody does that to a 14-month-old dog for being a dog, and the dog incidentally also bit her, so for if you don't think dogs deserve anything and should be shot, maybe you are out there. But you hear that story and as an animal lover I just recoil, so you hear that story, the rest of the group hears that story and does what with it. Yeah it's a terrible story. I mean you don't shoot a dog under any circumstances I don't think, unless it has grievously harmed a human being and is just a...

Have you seen the movie Cujo? That's certainly a circumstance. A rabid dog or something. You had to shoot that dog. You had to shoot that dog. Yeah, you had to shoot that dog. There was no option. Okay, that's fine.

It did happen a long time ago. It happened like 10 or 12 years ago, which I think is a mitigating factor a little bit. I don't know what her state of mind was at that time, but it was a hunting dog that was apparently a terrible hunting dog, okay? So instead of shooting it, you know, give it to somebody who's gonna raise it as a pet. It needs to be trained. It's a puppy. Yeah, and it's a very trainable breed, the German short-haired pointer. My neighbors had German short-haired porters. I knew the breed quite well. Wonderful dog, but if... Strange wheelhouses today, that and the 1973 wife's swap it yeah

Strange places for you to have expertise. You know what as an 18 year old I was the youngest official scorer in professional baseball nationwide. That's amazing. It's incredible when I think back to it Yeah, it's been a lovely cruise. It has been a lovely cruise in fact Pete Ward Who was the manager of the Fort Lauderdale Yankees at one time, called up to the press box to try to get me to switch one of my calls so that one of his pitchers would get a no-itter. But that's a whole different story. I would never shoot a dog. This is a new and improved Leopard show with the Stugas. Gamble on by DraftKings.

It's Mike Ryan. I've been watching sports for a long time now. As an adult, a lot has changed. A lot has changed since I turned 21 in the world, but once I was able to enjoy sports with the wonderful tastes of Miller Lite, I knew that there was no topping this. I mean, I think back then, instant replay was barely used in other sports outside of football. So when I wanted to complain about referees, I would get all mad and then I would take a sip of that Miller Lite, cool myself down, take a beat, and realize there are more important things

like the great taste of Miller Lite, less filling, and only 96 calories, the original light beer since 1975. You remember all those old John Madden ads? I still view them on YouTube occasionally. You don't have to choose what's best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time! To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door visit MillerLite.com slash Dan.

You've got us on our feet. Jalen, we're gonna win the East. Jalen, without Randall we're still doing fine. This is the Dan LeBattar Show with the Stugats. I don't think we've had a lot of hard network outs better than that one. Now I know that the hard network out has been a little inconsistent lately, but I will assure everyone listening to this that Greg Cody is never in on the joke. Never ever in on the joke. It infuriates him. He still doesn't understand it.

I believe the best one ever, the best one ever was this one. I don't think this one can be topped. Me, Dan, everyone, we told you repeatedly to go to the doctor. You ignored us. You finally went to the doctor and the results of your visit to the doctor were or what?

Yeah after several tests They found a tumor in my chest It wasn't now this what just happened wasn't quite that good It wasn't quite that good wasn't quite that good. It wasn't quite that good. But do you want to take me through what it is that just happened to you because you kept talking after the break and but we had already clipped you at what was it that you said that you I'd never I would never shoot a dog a non sequitur a non sequitur from what it is that you had been talking about.... i can't remember where i think i was talking about uh... official scoring

right as an eighteen-year-old no you were talking about that the place that i was hoping that story would go as you would tell us whether that bribe worked or not but you said wait without any warning or that you said wait as if you saw the hard network out coming in needed a funny joke to get before the one second i'd you know i can't remember going from one to the other I could they have bribed you no they couldn't have of course not and Pete Ward would never do

that went on to have a decent career as a Chicago White Sox third baseman infield corner infielder but I think that was before his manager why are you telling us this you know people care a Lot of Pete Ward fans out there. He tried to bully you into a no-hitter. He called. He called up to the press box. He was suggesting. I think he knew that I was very young,

but as I was saying off air, the older gentleman who was the scoreboard operator and another older gentleman who was the announcer, I would consult them, because I'm 18 years old. Sure. If it's a close call, I'm like, hey, you guys see that as a hit like I do? And so I believe we were all in a simpatico on this call.

Pete Ward did not agree with it. I don't recall him yelling or threatening. I just recall him. Thank you for bringing that story back to light all these years later, giving us all the details that Pete, the Pete Ward details that no one knew to have or cared to have. That's's exactly right what if all Pete Ward pulled out a c-note you give him a no-hitter I'd probably negotiate there's

no amount of bribe that would have gotten you an 18 year old Greg Cody to change his call no I'm a man of integrity all right the thing I wanted to ask the group here because Jerry Seinfeld is now going viral stugats and you know that I like to talk about the the climate that the funny people find themselves in. Jerry Seinfeld is close to 70, 70 years old. Jerry Seinfeld, comedy tends to age poorly generally and I understand in the climate of today why comedians even The greatest like him would look at what's happening around the comedy and not like how stifling it is So I want to as someone who is deeply admired

Seinfeld choices do gots because he just quit with the best television show and then made a really other cool television show doesn't have to do anything else and makes funny things his stand-up specialist at when he travels the world it is a comedian's comedian stand-up even if it's about nothing the comedy is expert you're watching a craftsman whom who who all the other comedians want to please because he is

the king of yeah i took this thing that is the hardest thing you don't get any health benefits it's just you and your funny the expectation funny and i turned it into i've got studios filled airplane hangers filled with cars i love classic cars a monster success and then my co-creator goes and creates another show for twelve years it is one of the best shows that never runs out of material that honors the first show the run of television over twenty five years there

you're not gonna find anything like it those guys are comedy gods but jerry seinfeld like a lot of comedians even the ones who would tell you the way to handle today's cancel culture is be a better comedian, be better at comedy, don't complain about people getting offended, just be better at comedy. Here's Jerry Seinfeld giving voice to something that is aging out in America, it's aging out in funny, it's aging out and it feels threatened because young people have a different standard

and they'd like their comedy sometimes to be a little more polite a little more decent. Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don't get it. It used to be you would go home at the end of the day most people would go oh Cheers is on, oh Mash is on, oh Mary Tyler Moore is on, oh and the family's on. You just expect it. There'll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight. Well, guess what? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people. When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups, here's our thought about this joke, well that's

the end of your comedy. They move the gates like in skiing. Culture, the gates are moving. Your job is to be agile and clever enough that wherever they put the gates, I'm going to make the gate. And he is and he has been. He hasn't had very much in the way of ever stepping in it and it can be said again Larry David has navigated this course for 12 years since Seinfeld and has done it wildly successfully and has done it without any issues but that would be politically on the other side what Seinfeld is saying there is different than what Larry David has been.

I don't think Larry David complains about PC culture, does he? I don't think so. It was also interesting that he single out the left instead of the right or both or neither. But I think he's right. I mean, nowadays you have to be so careful about what you say and who's in the audience

and whether they're gonna heckle you. I think heckling is back with stand-up comics now because you're going to offend somebody by saying just about anything unless it's benign observational humor. Is heckling back? Are you making the announcement that not only the Panthers are going to win the Stanley Cup but are you also making the announcement that heckling is up at comedy clubs? Heckling is back. Yes, I am making that announcement from observation. I am. My observation is that comedy is having a real renaissance period right now and everyone is getting over on the fact that there's this presumed

boogeyman of PC culture. I mean making fun of the culture has been hugely financially rewarding for all these big top line comics that if there were actually these things in place that were out there to cancel them effectively, wouldn't be as huge as they are right now. It's just, it's a very convenient argument and it's almost as if the industry has to keep propping that up because it goes directly into their wallet if you have this renegade stand-up comedian that goes at that notion. It pays to be Andrew Schultz. It pays to... they're they are filling out arenas right now. That is mainstream comedy right now is to openly have open disdain for this presumed villain,

this foil of the art of stand-up comedy. And right now in my lifetime, stand-up comedy has never been hotter. But I would say there is a foil though, the foil though, the thing that is happening with what Seinfeld is saying, Stugatz, that is both right and wrong is there is a whole bunch of comedians, Mike was lamenting brands before,

who have their own counterculture thing who might be too hot for everything else in America, who are absolutely using corporate control, Andrew Schultz among them, as the new thing to say the way people used to complain about just the media and everyone can get behind yeah the media. The idea that corporations are trying to control though, they are. That's not false. There are more hands in this pot telling comedians or trying to tell everybody

what to do than there have ever been. Aggressive middle managers. That works to the comedian's advantage though. It gives them a foil. It gives them something to nail against. These big time companies that are standing in the way of progress and actual true comedy. Let me work with Netflix. It's you know it's just it's a little hypocritical like we can all see through it and it's great for the industry to keep that perception out there. I don't think people see that. I think that there's a real difference between, say, what Chappelle was doing over the course of,

and I don't wanna rehash it, over the course of three stand-up specials where one of the great communicators of our time struggled to get a joke across the line, and just, you know, saying like, what, I can't make fun of Unibrowse anymore? It's just a little bit different different but it's all good the tide has has been raised by whether we like it or not or agree with it or not the perception is reality and

the tide has been raised because all these talented comedians are having a go at it. I don't think most people see it though I don't think that most people understand that is at least a thriving time in comedy because Louis CK can exist in a place amid all these other podcasts where it feels like they're too hot for the mainstream and they continue to feed their brand as the only places that you can get Louis CK.

That's why it's intellectually lazy to just label everything, cancel culture, or previously, and I know Seinfeld's trying to just label everything, cancel culture or previously, and I know Seinfeld's trying to bring it back, like what's referred to as politically correct behavior, because it's not a catchall. There is a difference between what Louis C.K. did and then having to go at an overweight audience as a part of the crowd work in your act. Like it's just, it's just different, but it all gets to say someone's out to get me and everyone loves,

even when they're not at a central casting looking like a victim, it is very popular in today's day and age. It's a brand to play the victim. Okay, Mike, you're more of a consumer of standup comedy than I am, so I'm gonna ask you this. But you just announced that Heckling is back. I believe Heckling is back, yes.

I think Heckling's back too. Because stand-up comedy is back, because more people are going to see stand-up comedy shows, so you'll see more. But here's my question. You're implying that there's some Renaissance and big comeback for stand-up comedy. I would suggest there's just more stand-up comics

who are feeding on the fact that there's a hunger for content. We see it in sports and we're also seeing it in comedy where there's so much streaming and so many opportunities to have televised stand-up comedy. But I think it's concrete data. Like Netflix is spending more on these specials. Comedians are really enjoying the fruits of their labor in ways and it was in many ways it was brought about because of the pandemic,

because these people were out there, people were stuck to their devices, stuck in their homes. And a lot of comedians, Andrew Shultz Chief among them, I think, and Joe Rogan were speaking in real time to a crisis of people's lives. And because of that, people turned were binging standup specials and found more out things like TikTok and IG reels podcast clips.

Yeah. That dude, the pandemic also helped and this whole culture of some of it legitimate, but this thing that is standing in the way of you laughing and having a good time and in your time out, it all mixed up into this amazing suit. That's making a lot of people, a lot of money, a thing that's not real. They exist with great freedom to laugh at everybody. Don LeBretard. Quiet man. Yes. You know I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife despite that gratuitous line in back in my day. Stugatz. I wish you were here my wife I really miss her. No I don't. That's

the thing about being married you know you're not to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her, I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds. You know, what am I, hello, all right. All right, we'll see ya. All right, and then I'm gonna see her in two days.

I was jumping Charlie, good. This is the John LeBathard Show with the Stoogats. Yeah, baby, this is a lovely bruise. Yeah, honey, this is a lovely bruise. I want to shout out Yeti and Andrew Streeter for all the fine work that they do for our show and for the Greg Cody featuring Greg Cody show. With. Thank you. Fine. Greg Cody featuring Greg Cody.

Right. Not Greg Cody. That's my apologies I'm sorry. I screwed that up right with so it's a Greg Cody show featuring Greg No with with with fine. I don't know what what it is. I can't get that one down You know I'd have to have a pretty big ego to feature myself on my own show. It's with with well It was a great day for songs on the show And I that Chris Cody playing that great song gave us all the excuse that we need, I think, to relive one of my favorite songs that I've heard on this show in recent memory. The Me Maximum song.

Me Maximum! Me Maximum! Me Maximum! F*** yeah! Greg is king and you're his peasants Me maximum, fuck yeah My way is the only way yeah If we share a hotel room You know who you answer to Me maximum, fuck you My comfort is of most importance Me maximum, fuck you Say it again so they can hear it in the Me Maximum! F*** you! My comfort is of most importance! Me Maximum! F*** you!

Say it again so they can hear it in the back air! When you are the patriarch, no one else's feelings matter! Vacation! Me Maximum! Restaurant! Me Maximum! Articles! Me Maximum! Cricoti Shows! We don't often do hard rock. We don't often do aggressive. Aggressive. Superstar day! Be Maxima!

Miller Lite! Be Maxima! In my garage! Be Maxima! All night! Be Maxima! Falling down! Be Maxima!

Getting hurt! That kind of thing. That kind of thing. Do you have a Back in My Day today? Of course. You know better than to ask that. It's Heat Playoff. Plus I've had a serious injury.

It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday. No, but it's Tuesday in the midst of Heat Panther Playoff. The only other time I think that we have done an aggressive song off the top of my head, because aggressive is hard. That was Mike. Mike, you did Pouncy block I want to revisit Pouncy block real quick because

Going and summoning the stuff that you have to do the aggressive versions of this song makes it hard I don't think many many have tried it very much so I just want to go back to reminding everyone of that time that the Dolphins thought they were going to win a game and then the Jets Darrell Revis had a pick six and Mike Pouncy was chasing Him and for reasons that were unbeknownst to everybody when he realized he wasn't going to catch him He just did a somersault and Darrell Revis ran a hundred yards in the other direction for some reason this Mike made Mike Ryan Do AC DC Yeah! Pouncy! TRI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I Then landed on the ground PANZEE!

PANZEE! And you knew More is no help, no help for you One minute older than my keys Chop block again please Wish you block for playing? You've been... PANZI BLOCKED!

PANZI BLOCKED! Yeah, yeah, yeah, PANZI BLOCKED! Oh! PANZI BLOCKED! Yeah! Greg Cody, I've been remiss today. yeah great kody i've been remiss today i owe the apology uh... to the audience for a couple of things one i keep confusing you when i say the local hours a different time than you expected i'm sorry that i can't do it now to what i want to apologize

because we have not gotten to any of your draft coverage your draft expert you had again more exact those more toygacchys than anyone except for a handful of people who had more and name them Peter Schrager yeah really how many is claiming he had the most exact those of anyone who was doing mock drafts and how many would that be I'm reading the story right now but it seems to a Pete like Greg I'm looking at it right now, but it seems to, like Greg, I'm looking at it right now. He had JJ McCarthy to the Vikings, and he had Bo Nicks to the Broncos. I did too.

You had both those guys. He did, yeah. I'm sorry. Back off. The Vikings one was, though. Just pointing it out. Why don't you know what Greg has? There was some question, I believe,

and I could be wrong about the Vikings and JJ McCarthy, because Greg had the player going to the team but at a different pick, because if you remember the Vikings traded up. So there was kind of some confusion as to how that would count. I could see Greg making that in Xacto. I can see, or Zagacki.

I could see him making that in Zagacki just because he got it in the right number but not the right team. Okay, there's a... Is there a controversy around this? No, the other way, he got the right team but the wrong number because the Vikings traded up. Correct. And Xacto is the right player to the right team in the first round. Okay. And

now a super Xacto. Wait a minute, what? Super Xacto. Yeah, keep up. That's what a Zagacto is. No, no, no, no, no, no. Super Xacto Super-Exacto. Super-Exacto, yes. Super-Exacto is a Zagakto. You guys are confusing. Oh, Greg, come on. It's a different weight class. Zagakto or a Zagaki? What's the best of the two? Zagakto. This is already confusing enough. No, no, no. It's not a Zagaki.

It's a Zagakto. Let Greg speak. You are. It's a fun. What is the best of them? Okay, a Super-Zagakto. Wait a minute, what? No, no, hold on. Let's start again.

Let's start again. Let's start again. You know that you just added Super to this to make it extra confusing. No, no, no. There's Exacto, Super-Exacto, Zagakto, Super-Exacto. I didn't even know what an Exacto You just added Super to this to make it extra confusing. No, no, no. There's Xacto, Super Xacto, Zagato, Super Xacto. I didn't even know what an Xacto and a Zagato was. Hear the man out.

Exactly. Okay, let's let him talk. A Super Xacto, aka Zagato, is right player to right team in exact order. Yeah, there's a Super Zagato. You said that there's a Super Zagato. That's different than a Super Zagakto is a Super Xacto. A Super Zagakto is different. What is a Super Zagakto? A Super Zagakto is the right player to the right team

in the exact order. Right. Okay, that's so rare, especially because you'd have to factor in trades and everything, which is just a hellscape. It's rare, but you got the first four a super exacto a super exacto is getting act Oh JJ McCarthy to the Vikings at 11 because they've traded up that would be that's you've never done a super exacto you didn't have a trade knowing a trade have you ever had has a bit it's a unicorn super exacto. I have nine exactos eight of them are super

exactos. Wow. The only exception the only ordinary exacto I have is is McCarthy because I had him going to Minnesota in the original fifth spot. Eleventh. But they traded up and ended up getting him tenth. I'm seeing here Schrager had 12 team player matches in the first round. Because of trades, he didn't necessarily hit all of them in the right selection spot. It was a great mock. He had Chop going to the Dolphins. But he works for the NFL. So. Okay, so he has inside information. Yeah, there was a profile done on him that says, nobody works the bar at the Combine better than Peter Schell. Wow. Yeah, well, I've seen him there.

You know, I go to the Combine all the time. When's the last time you were at the Combine? Like, seriously. Name the bar. Have you ever been to the Combine? He's not here to be praised. I think I might have gone to the Combine once. Greg can tell you one thing about all of downtown Indianapolis.

St. Elmo's. That's all he can tell you. That's where everything happens. And that's shrimp cocktail. That's it. That's the only thing he can't tell you anything else, but there are scouts there and that is where the NFL goes to dine. Yes. Where the NFL goes to dine. That's the only place. And Schrager will work that room. You know what? I give Schrager credit.

It's tough getting 12. I had nine. Junior only had eight. But is your analysis only going to be how many you got right and others got right or you going to have good football analysis that people are going to want or just self-involved meandering it's mostly self-involved meandering but here's what here's the thing okay and I'm being very honest right now the reason that I can even compete with a Kuiper is that those guys over analyze they get so much

information overload they're hearing from so many people they don't know what to do at the end of the day okay I don't have that problem I have my picks or streamline it you have plenty of problems you take all of their mock yeah and you dealt with off-the-field stuff that none of them had to deal with. Adversity. Yeah it's hard to get Zagactos and it's even more difficult to get playoff tickets as you know know, the secondary market, there's all sorts of fees, prices, and high-paying. I was just gonna do this for you.

I was just gonna get you there. Up, down, all around. You see, it's hard. I've heard there's an easy way to do it, Mike. There is, there is. What's that? And let me tell you the easiest way. It's to download the Game Time app, Billy.

A lot has changed since I turned 21 in the world, but once I was able to enjoy sports with the wonderful tastes of Miller Lite, I knew that there was no topping this.

I mean, I think back then, instant replay was barely used in other sports outside of football. So when I wanted to complain about referees, I would get all mad and then I would take a sip of that Miller Lite, cool myself down, take a beat, and realize there are more important things like the great taste of Miller Lite, less filling, and only 96 calories, the original light beer since 1975. You remember all those old John Madden ads? I still view them on YouTube occasionally.

You don't have to choose what's best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time!
