Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. This is the Don Lebert-Tar Show with this Tougat's podcast! At the protest that Billyy got to wait to late in order to actually protest and i

really wish you had been across the street protesting the protest pro waterslides yes pro pro anarchy i wish you had done that i i i feel like we failed in it in not exercising. I don't think Ron would have appreciated that much. He hated that segment. But it would have been funny and it's what we should have done.

And I feel like we aired in not doing that. Such a good idea. It is a perfect idea. And I want you to take it up with Ron, but at that protest, I stuck out my hand and I got something that Jessica is now telling me is the grandpa. It is a common thing with old people. I went to shake hands with somebody and the way an old person shook hands with me caught me off guard, sort of squeezed my fingers and really took control of the situation.

Left me, I'm a relatively firm handshaker, but got in there so aggressively that neutered me and made me feel less confident the remainder of the conversation because of how aggressive I got caught in what Jessica was calling the grandpa shake. It's a very classic grandpa move and one that I actually noticed in that gym

or save video when he's holding the Indianapolis Colts head coach to you guys, what's his name? Shane Strykin? Yeah. We'll go with that. Okay. This holding his hand and he won't let go. That's something that grandpa's around the world

have been doing for centuries. They grab your hand and then they just squeeze the shit out of it. Actually, babies do it too. It's a grandpa baby move, tandem. They have that in common. They grab your hand and they don't let go. And you try to like finish the handshake, maybe give them a pat on the back,

maybe you know, try to bring them in for a hug, but they don't let go of the hand. But what are babies doing? Babies it's just a panic to grip of an appendage. They don't know what they're doing. What are the grandparents doing?? Baby's just a panic to grip of an appendage. They don't know what they're doing. What are the grandparents doing? This is what babies do. They hold the finger and they don't let go.

Grandparents do the handshake where they grab the whole hand and then they take it and they won't let go. Maybe it'll be like three fingers that they squeeze. But they will not let go of the hand. Your hands are freezing. But they're cageing that's grandparents and they know you're trying to sprint away from the conversation. And then like like no the conversation ends when I end the conversation that's exactly right. You want your attention they want to

command your attention they want to pull you in they want to talk really close to your ear and they want to squeeze the shit out of your hand and it's that they they won't just shake the correct hand right like I put my right hand out to shake your hand shake the right hand they might grab the top of my right hand with their left hand to then squeeze fingers and make sure you're not going anywhere. Up until about the age of five and then basically after 60.

And arthritis. Mike, what do you mean and arthritis? Well, I've had something to do with it. You've asked a lot of, yeah. Place a lot of guitars. You think it'd be the opposite, but actually like the grip strength of a grandfather probably better than Kenny Pickett. Yeah. Yep. CJ Stroud yesterday has already thrown more touchdown

passes than Kenny Pickett career touchdowns. Yeah, that was going viral on Twitter. I didn't like that. Stop tweeting that. Do not retort that. Well, but I mean, if you see it, do not tag me in that. Stop tagging me in that tweet. He's having the greatest rookie season of any quarterback to ever play in the NFL. And the speakers are alerted to score and touchdowns. Not quite, but what he has done early is he seems remarkably confident back there doing a difficult thing.

And he took what was gonna be Baker Mayfield's signature comeback moment. Like God almighty Tampa Bay doesn't have any reason. Like Baker Mayfield was on the scrap He was headed toward backup quarterback. He was headed towards Sam Darnold land and He had 15 seconds yesterday of the coolest comeback story in a game that they shouldn't have won and it was taken from him by a young star like that's So guys we talked about Baker Mayfield when he was in Cleveland and how they were playing win now and they was playing through injuries and trying

to play as we talk about Brock Purdy trying to play through injuries, what it looks like, Joe Burrow trying to play through injuries, what it could look like, I don't know what the hell's going on with the Sean Watson and injuries, but how these guys Get physically broken halfway. What are you doing Jessica? What are you what's happening here? I'm just I it's a little cold in here today. That's an absurd jacket for this climate If you're not watching it I have a little bit of like a warm and fuzzy snuggie situation on that mic. Honestly, you might need one of these because your hands are Frigid when I did my little grandpa bit,

woo, cold, icy. But I'm a blue blood, so I'm okay. I was also saying, Dan, last week, I got the browns in the grid of bucket of death and I put them back because I was told that morning, I said, Josh Dobbs got traded to the Vikings and everyone was like, yeah, and I was like, who's gonna start for the Cardinals?

And like the entire room was like, Kyler Murray's back, Kyler Murray, Kyler Murray. Everyone yelled Kyler Murray at me. Like I'm an idiot for not knowing that. Guess what, he didn't start. So I was thinking, okay, maybe if Kyler Murray's back, like the Browns Cardinals game might be a little bit more interesting.

So I put the Browns back and got the Texans. And yesterday I'm sitting on my flight, white and nuckling it in the middle seat, watching the end of that Texans game. Because Dan, I am nearly undefeated this year. I'm bucket of death. I have won loss. Willow also has won loss. We're tied. But I'm gonna get that prize at the end of that Texans game because Dan, I am nearly undefeated this year and bucket of death. I have one loss. Willow also has one loss We're tied, but I'm gonna get that prize at the end of the year and the against the spread prize

There is no prize for a bucket of death, but there is a prize for against the spread Congratulations one of the things I don't know if it can be talked about enough right there All sorts of weird discrepancies to gods in that We'll obsess about the one call that is the difference between a team being four and five and five and four, but we'll give 60 yards in penalty yardage on a pass interference. There's all sorts of strange arbitrary stuff in that sport on how we do the measurements.

But yesterday, CJ Stroud and all of his heroics were almost undone by, in a multi-billion dollar sport, the fact that you can't just have another person who kicks football somewhere at the stadium or around the stadium. We hired a cameraman in Germany to follow around Ju-Ju and Chris Cody. You can't hire a professional kicker So that you don't have I'm just saying that the silliness of if you're gonna make these games be decided by nothing Be decided every weekend by your you're throwing into an end zone at the end And it's the difference between everyone laughing at Dallas or not laughing at Dallas

It's the difference between us saying Philadelphia is clearly the best team in the league. No, I doubt them now. They lost at home to the cowboy. At the very least, can I have a competent kicker out there? Like if the games are gonna be decided by one and two points, can we put something on the roster that allows for, I'm not gonna get total incompetence, I'm not all of a sudden gonna be the Texans

and spend the rest of the game going for two or sending my running back out to kick Because it's stupid like put just put out emergency kicker the same way you do with an ambulance on the sideline Just there's an emergency the both teams can use it Both teams can use it just there just somebody who's there So we don't feel it just come down to somebody and Jay Feel it and he did it and he did it in a suit the former kickers that all the same day as family just it's that you gotta use him

those guys are money though that's not fair i'm just saying somebody one of the craziest things right now in the NFL that's happening is the cowboys kicker went to Notre Dame but played soccer actually knew him in college he was on the soccer team, won a national championship, then played in the USL, I think, and like is a data analyst or something, and then he tried out for the Cowboys, made the team, and now he's broken the record for rookies

with the most made field goal attempts to start their career. It's absolutely crazy. Like, you can't find good kickers anywhere, but when you do, like, they're not even kickers anymore. You find them in a data processing? It's just wild. I am I the only one with this?

Like, does anyone care these games? We are hyper analyzing and putting under a microscope, every measurement, every replay, I'm, I'm startle every Sunday. How do they have every camera angle for that ball that's in each off the ground? How many cameras are at that thing? Do you know how hard it is to have every camera angle? But at the end never mind there's gonna be kicker here and he doesn't kick hasn't kicked this since high school Let's decide it this way. CJ Stroud. Hey, you possibly lose because the running back has to kick It's crazy that they decide with kickers that are actually normal kickers that are being paid to kick

It's insane that those guys are deciding this game after all the physicality that we were just talking about at the goal line, and yet now we're just bringing guys to the end of the list. Hell are we doing it? Hell are we doing it? Hell are we doing it? Hell are we doing it? I lost a bet because they didn't have a kicker.

Stugatz. Amino Hasson. This is the Don Lebatard show with the Stugatz. the stugats as we discussed over the past couple weeks and the michigan signs stealing saga has just been a slow trickle of news like every day for two weeks it's it's quite remarkable but the latest report from pete thamel is that we should not expect any action by the big ten on potentially suspending gym

harbour for at least 48 hours so tD, another insane story might come out in the next 48 hours, but it won't be a notice of a suspension according to Pete Thammell because if you heard last week after we were done recording for the week, there was a call with the big ten coaches and the big ten commissioner in which the big ten coaches were very, very mad at Michigan and they want the big ten commissioner, Tony Petiti, to do something about it. They want him to punish Michigan in some way and Michigan is saying now, if you do that, we are not going to take it laying down. We are going to fight you.

So it is just getting very, very juicy. As Michigan's season has finally started, they are playing Penn State this week. The preseason is over for Michigan. They will have an actual top 10 opponent that they're playing. Penn State coming off a huge win against Maryland, Michigan, coming off of eight weeks of a pretty like uninspiring schedule in the Big Ten end and their non-conference. So this is a big weekend. There's potential for news in 48 hours, but right now nothing is happening. I saw the right and days going to prison and might get the death penalty.

Watch your own. It's very possible. Yes. Well, there is rumors. I don't even know if this is like an official report that Ohio State may be behind the initial probe that began this whole thing. But it's hard because there's so much news trickling in now about all of these things and counter-stylings might have been at the Central Michigan Conner stand is also

I should add resigned from Michigan over the weekend. At first it was reported that he was let go and then it was reported that it was more of a voluntary resignation situation. We only reported the lasers in the sunglasses portion of that story. Which also I that may have been Photoshopped. I really don't I don't know what's what's happening anymore. It is so hard to do. What's real and what's not. It is.

It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is.

It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is.

It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. with the framing on this because Michigan's president, once you get the presidents involved to got, you've already, I've told you, like, these commissioners and stuff, they're foos. So they can be pushed around by a bunch of tough coaches. James Franklin can get on to zoom and just run a commissioner off the road because these are powerful, you know, king making positions where they're responsible for these giant economies. And so the idea of football coaches governing the morality of what should happen to Jim Harbour now invites the university president of Michigan to say hey, hey, hey, hey, do process, do process and I'm wondering does the Michigan

president just have to protect the football program because it's a beast, it's a monster and whether it's under attack or not under attack or whether it's cheating or cheating the kind that all teams do, they got to protect the economy of Michigan football because that looks like a playoff team and we do understand what we're watching right now. It's greed, it's corruption, it's power spending money, it's buying players and at the top of it is a school in Michigan that got good because Jim Harbour after still got spent years chasing Jim Harbour around. You're not as good as Ohio State.

Now they are. It hasn't Ohio state now they are not but now they are right and now they are and does it isn't the president incentivize to just protect that at all costs even as they were sinned the long term offers that what you're telling me the framing because I was surprised to see the president of the university in the middle of a cheating scandal shout do process even though it's the most obvious thing in the world to shout but I didn't think hardball would have many supporters given the reporting around now he has tons of supporters michigan fans are not going along with any of this they have his back they this university it appears has his back they are not going to go along with anything that the big ten to size like you said like

the thing at stake here is playoff appearance money if the big ten is able to get two teams in a high-o-state Michigan, which seems like it could happen, they don't want to ruin the chances of getting that money. And they also don't want to piss off one of their biggest brands. It's a really, really hard position to be in if you're the Big Ten Commissioner. It's why he makes a lot of money because now he has a pretty big decision to make because if you piss off Michigan fans, that is a really passionate fan base. It is one of the most powerful head coaches in the sport. pretty big decision to make because if you piss off Michigan fans, that is a really passionate fan base.

It is one of the most powerful head coaches in the sport. But the same time you have like a dozen other head coaches that are publicly saying now like, hey, this is not fair. This isn't fair to our players. And we think that this goes way well beyond the scope of anything that any other team is doing in the sport to steal signs. It shouldn't surprise me the way that the Michigan fan base is reacting to this, as someone with a very active persecution complex of their own, I recognize some of the

mooms, moves. I'm really struggling to find out why Ohio State being behind the initial probe would matter because it doesn't change what they did, but everyone's saying, well, they hacked, and that's a form of cheating too. I, at some point, don't you have to kind of look in the mirror and say, well, he's dressed up in costume as a central Michigan staffer, that this is very clearly we can all agree beyond whatever line of gamesmanship might come with trying to steal signs,

but there is none of that. It is full force offensive and Ryan Day is going to jail possibly. It's just an odd reaction. It can be true that we got caught cheating, but it's unfair. Everyone does it. That should be the defense, but Ryan Day is going to jail. It. It's great. Are they just trying to butt her emails, Ryan Day? Is that essentially what's happening here? I'm with Mike Ryan on the ideas to God's that the cartoonish nature of this, I think Michigan fans should mic,

lean into the entirety of, that's right. We cheated, everyone. No, not just we cheated and what? We cheated by putting someone in a trench coat and mustache disguise. We cheated with a costume. It wasn't serious cheating. We were going for the lane of funny cheated.

Nobody, nobody would, nobody would do it like this, where we've got someone in an active disguise, whether the lasers coming out of the sunglasses or not, we've got someone on the Central Michigan sidelines where no person who traffics in college football information will ever be found throughout the history is a Chippewa football, a Central Michigan football. Oh yeah, the Chippewa was.

The Chippewa. Dan LaFever had some teams. Yeah, Dan LaFever was a legend. I mean, the other fun part of this is that message board, especially Michigan's message board, which is huge, is a big, central part of the fan reaction to it. And Michigan fans writing on their message boards that they've heard rumors about this and this happening. And it just keeps getting more and more absurd.

And that part of it is very silly and funny. But yes, Michigan fans, I'm a dear friend of a Michigan fan who is listening to this podcast at this very moment who has professed to me that this is a witch hunt. This is what Jeremy said. It's a butter emails with Ryan Day. It's a witch hunt. None of this happened.

They also keep moving the goalposts back and forth. They're like, well, maybe we cheated, but everyone cheats. It's legal. And They're like, well, maybe we cheated, but everyone cheats, it's legal. And they're like, well, maybe we cheated, but everyone else did this and this. And they keep changing the story to defend themselves as more information keeps coming out. And it's just fascinating.

I mean, at a certain point, I think the athletic report that has photos of him dressed as a central Michigan staffer should be the tipping point. But Jessica doesn't trust it. We don't know it. For sure. Jessica doesn't trust it. We don't know it. Jessica doesn't trust it. Yeah, I'm not gonna trust any other people.

I'm not gonna trust any other people. I understand where Michigan is coming from because the strategy would be fight like hell because whatever's coming our way, they're coming for this season. And this season can be special. We can make billions off of this season. Like they can take banners away from us. They can make billions off of this season. Like they can take banners

away from us. They can make us forfeit wins in the future. Just do a next season. We need those ticket sales. We need those merch sales. We need that that money from the college football playoff coming in here this season. So be as insane as possible with your defense. Black in as much self awareness as possible because that's going Blacken as much self-awareness as possible because that's going to be our strategy here. At that point I get it, but if I were a Michigan fan, if there were Miami staffer dressed up as an FAU staffer trying to get some insight information,

I'd be like, ooh, that's a bad look. I can't defend that. It's a great look. I can't defend that. I've never seen cheating quite like that. Genuinely, if this happened to Notre Dame, I feel like I'd be a little pissed at the coaching staff, but like publicly maybe I'd try to play it down

and maybe that's what's happening here with the Michigan fan, like, Hi, Mike. I don't really know. The thing that is crazy though is that like, they've made the play off now twice, but this is the year where it seems like everything's coming together. They had the easier schedule at the beginning of the season. They've been blowing out opponents.

They're, J.G. McCarthy, I think has the best hot hyzman odds right now i feel bad i feel bad for him because i think the players are very good and i think he's good it's going to land on his shoulders they will have that the voters will say all right not on our watch you cheated all this is coming together at at a time where winning the national championship for michigan is very doable this season where i would not have said that the last couple years like they they got Boat race by TCU last year in that crazy crazy semifinal game in the year before again, Georgia They did not have much of a fight in them, but this year

I think is is the year where all these things are coming together and now this happened But how much is that because of the cheating because that's a great question There's certain central there's certain sense that they're beating these teams by 40 points I mean yeah, I mean I don't need the cheating to beat Purdue I agree with you, but like when it comes to playing Ohio State their biggest rivalry that mission Jim Harboh Has not had a great record on prior to the last couple years like that's a really interesting thing to think about the Circumstantial evidence here isn't one that you should probably ignore could help frame the discussion in that before Connor

Sally and arrived and I know there's talk and conjecture that he was helping the program before he officially joined. He wrote a manifesto. But before he arrived and was a member of the staff, the record was not good. And afterwards the record was good. And there were a season ever was a year that fans weren't allowed in the sands under under Harbaugh. That was her worst year. So.

That is a great little tidbit. And again, like maybe this is not the humongous competitive advantage that Ohio State fans are saying it is. I can't, I don't know, like we will never know that. But the years that they made the playoffs, if they were doing something that is like, it is illegal to do, other teams must out on playoff opportunities because of it.

So I think there's a legitimate ripe with the rest of the big 10 with the rest of the teams that they played against with everyone else in college football. That doesn't mean that other teams aren't also doing it, but they didn't get caught. You can find moments in college football history that might have splintered off of them cheating, whether it be Michigan reaching out to teams allegedly to some of the reports, reaching out to the other teams that could affect their positioning in the college football playoff, they're trying to give them an advantage.

TCU knowing about it and TCU boat racing Michigan at the start of the game because Michigan had no idea that TCU knew about their sign ceiling program to Josh Gattis's broils award. Like there's all these things, there's video evidence and I know it's a passing down and you can probably say edge pressure coming from whatever side plan is day. But there is video of Connor Stallions with Gattis and Jim Harball looking to him for direction in the closing moments of the game and Connor Stallion's mouthing to both the coach and the OC edge pressure here and both of them hop on their headphones and change the call. That would seem to be a pretty cool advantage if you're trying to win games at all costs.

It seems like Connor Stallion should be the next cold Ted coach, not Jim Harbaugh. Replace Bella Shank. Yes. Wow. Harba. Replace Bella check. Yes. It's two and seven. Bella check is two and seven. Put it on the pole, Judeo, Adelaide Tarsho. Should Connor Stallions replace Bill Bella check?

One of the things that makes this very difficult is that none of us actually know how much of an advantage it got anybody. So all we can do is clock and complain about it. I love it. It would be a tragedy if we were losing one person to drug overdose every day. Even five, seven, or twelve people. It would be unimaginable if fifteen families a day received news of a lost loved one to overdose. But in Canada, we lose twenty people to overdose every single day. That's a crisis. At Cam H, we

won't back down until there's no one left behind. Donate at Cam H dot CA to help us treat addiction and build hope. Don Lebatard. Did you guys see Gilbert Arrenas' assessment of Zion Williamson? Agent zero. Stugats. Did you answer my question there or no? No. Okay. Very good. This is the Don Lebertar Show with a Stugats. Of all the rejections to gots from people complaining about us going to Hollywood

to do some business. There were some business that had to be done in Hollywood. No complaints were louder than the ones directed at nobody wants to hear anymore about horrifying climate facts of the day. They have turned on Adam McKay, they have turned on us, they've turned on us going to Hollywood, spending any money in Hollywood,

doing business with Adam McKay, getting into business with HyperObject, they are rejecting the fact that doom is impending and there is no way to make horrifying climate facts of the day funny it's it's very hard to do he's trying man but it's difficult because at one point he calls me next to tears saying did you know there are six hurricanes going on right now in different parts of the world all at the same time that doesn't normally happen look he's laughing sinisterly was he crying though for real i mean he's been we had to hide his visage six point three million dollars in hollywood behind uh...

artificial intelligence because he doesn't want to be seen because he he's afraid of bursting into tears. I'm not misrepresenting you here, correct Adam? No, we've had challenges with this segment. We brought in some high-paid consultants, very talented consultants from McKinsey, Bain, they did amazing work, they forged friendships with all of us, you didn't care for them, and they made a series of recommendations that I think your audience would really enjoy and then rejected them. I mean, Billy doesn't want to keep doing the segment.

I'm going to, I'm going to just be honest. That's not fair. Billy never said that. We never had this company. Stugots doesn't want to do it either. That's fair. Stugots doesn't want to stop. He doesn't want it to be done anymore.

You guys even read the recommendations from the consultants. No, we have not. I have not. I'm getting pretty. They're pretty good. I mean, the one idea is, and this was the one Dan rejected, it is climate, start of the day, and sex advice segment. And the idea would be really quick, we talk about yep, stuff's getting hotter. So how's it going in the bedroom? And then we take some collars and we help them with their sex life. And Dan was like, that makes no sense. That's the worst idea. You know, the McKinsey group showed them the analytics. So there were a lot of really exciting ideas that Dan rejected. So yeah, I'm kind of handcuffed here.

I'm trying to be a grown up, your audience. Once you see greasy, tasty content, and Dan's making me give him granola. It's not that. It's that it's heavy content, and it's hard to make light. And especially when you start talking, like you start talking over people's heads sometimes with climate language that is common in your circles but not necessarily common in ours. Hard core content you would say.

That was a porn joke. Well, because then there's a link. How is it going in the boot? Wow. It's been slow. That's a grief. Well, just grief. Let's get into that.

By the way, sex is great sex though. What? I'm sorry. What? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. that room. Let's play the climate stat, horrifying climate stat music of the day. Please. This is the background music in my bedroom. Is that walking? Yeah, just dark. The ocean's a little burning.

Sad, terrifying, apocalyptic, infinite. We're gonna die. Infinite with grief. Infinite. Thank you for clarifying. Yeah. We're all gonna die.

What is the climate factor? All right. The one is the horrifying climate. Climate time to be dead. Really? Are we going to keep doing this with the bedroom? Because I hope you have better ideas than that from the McKinsey group. We haven't tried that one. We have a list of 20 ideas. Mike Ryan's the only one who's read through them all.

He liked it. Okay, alright, climate started to die. How many days in a row has the northern hemisphere temperature broken the All-time record is it one 130 days two 180 dates were three 250 dates So Quizz now is it some number meant much much more than all three of those I'm gonna go a Adam I'll go B. Yes! Isn't that good, dude?

Yeah! Alright! 30 days, it's the lowest number. Now, men, women always have the pressure to put on some sort of costume in the bedroom, but why can't you trust a milkman, a pizza delivery guy? Dan loves costumes. That's true. These guys accuse me all the time of liking costumes.

What do you mean that's true, okay? I do not like costumes. I don't want costumes in the bedroom. I don't, I do, I do I do however an occasional Lucha Libre figure of some sort wearing a cap maybe sometimes Maybe sometimes just wearing a cake. Not you leave it How did it go I mean I'm stricken by grief so go I mean I'm stricken by grief so I'm wearing a cape and I'm just sort of sad just sort of sad and it was the lowest number of the three yeah that's good news Dan should make you happy yeah

thank you I think this worked out tell the Mackenzie group we're going to go with this one. This is the one we're going with the sorry. I'm fine. He's fine. Not cool. McKay is trying to reach the billies of the world. He's not having success. He's he asked me all the time, Billy, off air. He's like, how's this going over with Billy? Are we reaching? Are we? Are we reaching him?

Adam, I was actually I was at a bat protest this past weekend. You would have loved it. And I was actually kind of bothered before the fact that I got there. And I feel like I didn't last long. And I think that my carbon emissions getting there probably did more damage to the bats than good. No. What was the protest?

Are only Gil wants to give the animals water slides or something. And then people are upset about it? That's not what the protest is. Has something to do with the water park and bats? It was framed weird. They're asking me, someone to give my time to either bats or water slides. I don't know what's bright you joy in your life more.

Bats or water slides. Yeah, those are kind of the two choices. You're just in general for the only two, right? I was asking myself while I was considering going there, which team am I really? Am I team bad? Or am I team water? So you just didn't go.

I just did like 30 milligrams and stayed home and I would've been in that hell of a new now. I would've gotten middle of the road. I would've great new enslaved that was. There's also the added kind of thing where the water slides were voted for. So now also the added kind of thing where the water slides were voted for. So now we're just kind of overthrowing an election.

But it was like fun, Z's for bats. But it was like voted for like six years ago. Yeah. And I heard that they also already did like all the tubing to get the water there, which he's like, we spent a lot of money. We might as well get the slides. There are so many carbons emitted at this point.

I'm good with the slides. I'm sorry. At this point, if you're going to have an apocalypse one way or the other, and you tell me, what can I have? Magical flumes are bad. Do I want to be swinging at bats that are now around my home because they have been given free rain? It actually sounds terrible. We're on the wrong side, if you say I just realized it. We were at the prototype on the wrong side because we did not that what is more fun than a

water slide amusement park filled with mildew and feces in your I mean as bats are clean. Yeah, like there's no now there's Guano on top of all that. Yeah, happy. What kind of bats?

Dan you might like this is a full circle thing because we were talking about your grief. The first time I met your brother and had a conversation with him was at a Thanksgiving at Dan's apartment that I thought was going to be like the Levitard Thanksgiving's were like very famous. I was like, wow, I got invited to this. I was like one of my first years.

And this was the first year they didn't do the big Thanksgiving. And I was just Dan's apartment with his immediate family. And I was like, why am I here? So we sit down at the Thanksgiving table. I meet Dave for like the first time. And the first thing he says, as we're having Thanksgiving dinner, he looks at me and he's like, this is your girlfriend? I'm like, yeah.

And I introduce her, he's like, how often do you guys have sex? And I was like, that's great. Yeah, well Dan. All that trash. All that trash. Was dad dressed as a turkey? Ha ha ha. Bill Grimm at here.

I was the first interaction. He was dressed as the cornico. Yeah, the cockatoo. See you later Adam, good talking to you. Bye. I think we improved that segment. He saved it. And I think I've totally rethought my voting position

from six years ago. Totally worth it for the McKenzie. Mike Ryan spent two hours in Hollywood, pantomiming with his mouth that AI figure that cost $6.3 million. He spent, and he had committed to doing two more hours where he where and it didn't work none of it worked none of it like we we put a lot of sweat equity in making those segments work in Los Angeles and it just seemed like

you guys hated it even more and it made Dan emotionally break down and a segment that we've recorded later all would have been fine if Dan just avoided talking about the Philadelphia Phillies.
