You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the Stoogats Podcast. I'm seeing reports that there's a person that the Panthers canceled on for Jack Nicholas, and this person is someone that I would have had no doubts could nail this drum beating. Who's done it best? We've had Levan Hernandez recently, we've had Mike McDaniel, we've had Juan Pierre.

Who's done it best? Greg, get your microphone in position before the segment starts, thank you. Juan Pierre was strong, Mike McDaniel brings a great energy to it. No one's been as bad as Dan Marino. Those are some of the best ones, I think. Usman was pretty good too.

It's Jason Taylor that they canceled on. Really? Why? Because Jack Nicholas is I guess the golden bear. Because Jack wanted to do it. You have the option of a person that is known for how much winning they've done in their sport or Jason Taylor on a day that you can clinch. disrespect to Jason Taylor who's all-famer this is the biggest celebrity they've ever had drumming this drum right with that math that Mike just

did I regret Dan Marino ever doing it last year this feels right though Jack Nicholas it does this feels big this feels like it beats the moment feels slow though we'll be there, we'll carry him. Bring in a champion for this. I do wonder if there's any vetting of like, does he know how to do it? Or is it just he's in, he's in. I wonder if there's any email back and forth of sending a video of this is what you're gonna have to do

just to make sure you're good with it. He's Jack, he's got it. Stu, do you think Jack Nicklaus today can hit a drive further than Chris Cody? And Chris Cody can launch off the tee. 100%, yes. Wait. I say no.

Oh no, Jack without driving, no. I've seen him hit a, he does the master. Have you guys seen the master? Like they, he hits it. Yeah, the par three? No, no, no, like the first tee shot, the master. How far does he hit it? He looks like he hits it like 150.

Right, well he doesn't. That's me. Guys. That's my drive. He looks like he hits it like 150. Right, well he doesn't. Guys. That's me. Guys. That's my driver. He's older than Joe Biden. Like he's 84. I mean, when you put it that specific way. I mean.

He's 84. He's not hitting a driver further than Chris Cody. I don't know. Are you out of your mind? Yeah, but I mean, still sounds like he can spank it occasionally. Yeah. So I think he can ratchet it up just one time.

I worry about it. I don't think he can ratchet it up just one time. I worry about it. I don't think he can. You gotta pound that drum. You gotta pound it. Gary Player is older than Jack and he's hitting his drives right now, 250. No, no, Gary Player is of that group of old guys, the youngest one and hits it the furthest.

I'm telling you, I'm gonna see, I don't know how I can look up how far he's driving it. You have a map presently on your desktop. Jack Nicholas' drive. You're running Jack Nicholas' driver map presently on your desktop. Jack Nicholas Drive. I wrote in Jack Nicholas Driver distance, and it's my location to Jack Nicholas Drive. Gary Player is older than Jack. That's what I said.

By four years. That is what- This is a run for a title. No detail is too small. But I'm telling you, Gary Player is in better shape. He's moving around more. He's hitting the ball further than Jack Nicholas. Would Gary Player be better at the drum?

Humble brag, I did recently, well well Glenn Fry was still alive with the Eagles but I went to an Eagles concert and Jack Nicklaus was standing right next to me the entire time rhythm he was fine he looked spry and now granted it was a while ago yeah but he looked fine shockingly fine. Since we're speaking of golf, I will tell you guys that I don't know that it's ever happened in the history of the show, what happened after yesterday's show. I find Stu Gotz to be among the people in my life

over the course of my life, to be the least introspective. He doesn't do very much in the way of regret after things have happened. He just sort of keeps keeps life moving and doesn't inspect uh... the tattered remains of what he's left in the rearview mirror but after yesterday's show he felt like he blew it because he wanted to talk more about rory mack loroi as he likes to call him yeah because of the way that he choked

and i don't know if you felt bad for him i do know that greg cody felt bad for Rory Mack Leroy, as he likes to call him, because of the way that he choked. And I don't know if you felt bad for him. I do know that Greg Cody felt bad for him because it is pretty rare that you see, I know we talk about it all the time in sports. We love to go on television and say that somebody was afraid of the moment, but it's rarely as isolated as that

where you can see that somebody has fallen apart on what should be easier for them because I heard you guys talking about one of the putts being something that Greg Cody would have demanded as a gimme at some point. I would say two of the putts. Yes. Yeah right. I mean two of you would have stormed off the green if you weren't given the gimmies that he missed. Oh yes yes I would have and and it takes me five holes to get over that I mean I'm fuming if nobody gives me a two and a half foot putt because secretly when I'm standing over that putt I'm worried that I'm gonna miss it and apparently Rory McIlroy was too. That's the amazing thing That's a bit so gods

Tell me if I'm wrong the biggest difference between an amateur golfer and a professional golfer isn't the distance off the tee, although it's that too. To me, the biggest difference is these guys on a 15, 18, 20 foot putt, they expect to make it. Yes, or at least get it down in two. Right. Whereas I'm nervous over a three foot putt. Of course. And so to see... While demanding that a two footfoot putt be a gimmick.

Yes, so to see a Rory McIlroy choke over a two and a half foot putt is an amazing thing to me. It was an amazing final round to the US Open. It's why you watch that stuff. There were so many interesting things about it. He had a two-shot lead, Rory did. He hasn't won a major since 2014. He's come so close so many times. He's had five second-place finishes at a major, but to miss those two

putts and then to see the crap rooting for a guy in Bryson DeChambeau who they hated like three years ago who plays for Lib and they're chanting USA, USA, USA for a guy who earns his money from a Saudi fund. I mean, it was, we don't care. We do not care. We don't care about anything. But yes, I did feel bad for Rory. And people comparing this to the end of the PGA saying Rory wasn't very, you know, he wasn't, he just laughed. He screeched off in his car. He wasn't shaking Bryson's hand and congratulating him. He's done it all on social media and they're comparing it to what Bryson did at the end of the PGA to Xander Shofley. Get out of here. They're totally different things. Okay. Shofley won the PGA. Both players played well. Rory lost that US Open. I don't expect

Rory to go out there and do anything for Bryson. Not a single thing. I don't know how you're managing to say his first name more bizarrely. I don't know. It's just a tough name for me. I mean given the fact that he hasn't won a major in 10 years and this was his opportunity, it doesn't surprise me that he... Are you wheezing? It sounded like wheezing. The guy that says he could beat me in a holding your breath competition.

It sounded like wheezing. Maybe take a hit. You know what? It sounded, take a hit on the asthma and it did sound like there was some whistling coming through his nose. It wasn't quite wheezing. It wasn't, but he was also talking at the same time. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to do that.

I've just never heard you like wheezing like when you're not coughing. I wasn't sure whether he was wheezing or on 6th Street over there There's a train that comes through and I just thought that from a distance there was a bit of a whistle But he was the one talking I didn't I didn't think it could be him because he was talking That like a weed pen Yeah, I apologize Catch your breath in the meantime Chris and I have been obsessing over drive for your life. I Think Jack Nicklaus would be a slight favor just alright so you guys here's a hypothetical

Okay, we get a large gallery around the T Now they're allowed to do their warm-ups on the range both Jack Nicklaus and Chris code is so ridiculous But there's like a 10-minute waiting period before That between them on them on the driving range and them going up to the tee. You have all those cameras out there, all that pressure. That's the huge gallery would might get to me. You only get one attempt at it.

It probably wouldn't get to Jack. No, that's what I'm saying. That's why I have no doubt. If they're both hitting it flush, Chris Cody's gonna out drive them fairly easily. Chris, you're about 300 yards. Yeah, a good one. I would say average

like two 62, 70 fricking drive. No, he could drive it far. He has played in front of galleries before at Lake Tahoe, but he says he gets the first couple of holes though. You get nervous if a Jack wasn't walking up on the tee. I mean, if you built this up and it was a big thing and Jack's right next to me, you're going up against the golden bear. First of all, it wouldn't be safe. Like we'd have to move the galleries a little back. No breakfast ball. Yeah, it may be like he may duck fart 150 yard or up the middle. My swing speed is just better than his.

Yeah, but you may shank it because of all the pressure. But my conference to Chris, what we're saying is Chris would have to choke. If they both hit flush drives, Chris is going to win. Well, that's what I'm putting my action on. Right, Chris choking. Chris choking. He's going to go up there and maybe try to do too much

and really put on a show from the tee to just like oh no doubter I'm gonna out drive this guy by 150 and then right into the drink. And the person that loses dies? Because like do you want to be the guy that kills Jack Nicholas? That's more pressure. And live. Put it on the hole. Which live? No, like you want to be alive and be the person that killed Jack Nicklaus. I don't know, it's so confusing. How would your life be in the golf community?

I imagine you can't play golf anywhere ever again. Yeah, you'd be ostracized. In the golf community. Yeah. At LeBretard's show, put it on the poll, would Chris Cody out drive an 84-year-old Jack Nicklaus? Have you ever played a Jack Nicklaus course a design course? I'm sure I did one in reunion and there was a house under construction and it had his golden bear logo on it

It was a really huge house I'm getting somewhere with it. So the father to the seed like I'm getting somewhere but He apparently if he designs a course, gets to have a house on whichever course he designs. And that's why there was like a graffiti golden bear logo on this house that was under construction. It's part of the deal. No matter where he designs a course,

he gets a house on that course. I would love to do an interview with somebody who can answer all my questions about the greatest perks that celebrity athlete people get. Because what Greg Norman must get for designing courses, like just what are the ridiculous opportunities that these people get better than banging a drum as an 84 year old at a hockey game.

Because I would imagine that we would all be sort of embarrassed by how it is that rich people could get things for free that they don't need because they're rich people. Like this home was a multi-million dollar home that was under construction. Right, of course. And he has multi, just in real estate alone,

that's probably the real value in doing these courses for him like he'll get a fee for designing it but he also gets a real estate he has a club in palm beach called the bears club i didn't spend enough time with a massive house spring is the best time to add new challenges to your workout just in time for summer and warmer days spring's the best time of year to take a new look at your fitness routine dial it it up a notch, and continue powering on.

Stugats They call him Pooka, Pooka Nakua His quarterback is not named Tua Yeah he is Pooka, Pooka Nakua This is the Dan Lebatar Show with the StuGats. I didn't spend enough time yesterday on something that is being neglected as we talk about whether or not the athleticism of Chris Cody will hold up against the past his prime golden bear when Chris Cody is also past his prime because. My back hurts.

Oh my God, this is funny. Like Stu Gotts limped in here today because he played a set of tennis against his daughter. Seven five, I mean. He limped in here and he is legitimately hurting. His whole body hurts and Chris Cody again I mentioned this yesterday but I didn't delve into it Chris Cody had a non-contact back injury Chris Cody's back seized up from just sitting around

it wasn't that it was while he was sitting down. It was not an action injury. He was just sitting there and his back seized up at one point and he howled in the general direction of his wife, ah! I wasn't even reaching for anything. There was no movement. I was sitting. It happens. And it was, ah!

Oh my, I just did it there. I'm doing it. And I literally just, dude, the worst pain. I have no idea what it is back pain It's your back is there is rarely anything that is more taken for granted than back health Because once back pain grabs you I was like am I what if I just can never walk again like I will I It was that sharp of a pain. I'm like word this come from What if my whole life is over as I know it?

It's your biggest fear. If you have lower back issues, any movement, a sneeze could throw it out of place. And it is the worst feeling. Well you say a sneeze, but he wasn't doing anything at all. I understand that. Sometimes you just move the wrong way, you get up off the couch the wrong way,

and all of a sudden you can't walk for four days. Again, he wasn't moving. There wasn't movement involved. It's the rare non-moving back injury. I'm gonna have to agree. He just seized up. And what washed over me was how pathetic that is. Like how you have to just take some inventory

of where you are in aging and mortality. When you are so dead that you injure yourself without an action. This is like Howard Bryant tearing both his hamstrings getting out of bed in the morning. You could do that, Dan, or just take the big needle. I mean, that's what I did, and it hasn't acted up in 10 years until yesterday.

Wow, you're in bad shape. Like, you're in bad shape from playing a set. I didn't mean overall, although that too. You're in bad shape from what happened playing against your daughter. You don't seem well. Rachel got really good at tennis. I have no idea how, but usually I would beat her 6-0, 6-1. Maybe I'd give her three games, 6-3. She took me deep into a set. 7-5. I mean, I beat her 7-5, but she took me deep into a set seven five. I mean I beat her seven five, but she took me deep into this But she beat I was not planning on playing 12 broken. You're broken today, and she's fine Yeah, I wanted to ask you guys about something because you know I have been interested in these

Streaming wars at least in parts to guys because it's become evident to me talking to people and reading about it that all of these CEOs that are getting so much money to lead us into the future of televised entertainment, they really don't know what they're doing. Like they're in way over their head on an assortment of things. And I think we assume that these people know what they're doing. In their defense, it's changing so quickly, it's hard to figure it out. Correct. But when you have CEOs who get all of these giant things that are bigger than all of the employees by multiples that

That carry businesses you expect them to lead you into a future What I'm telling you is that what they're paying this people these people Most of them do not know what they're doing in a way that has become obvious to everyone in Hollywood by the decisions that are being Made after the strike. They didn't know how to handle the strike They they they sort of ended the strike without knowing't know how to handle the strike they'd be faith they sort of ended the strike without knowing what it is that they're doing and they now also don't know what they're doing and it's part of why you're getting such a modernized content such content that uh... doesn't take any chances it's all

a little bit the same they're all trying to copycat things as the hedge funds common ruin another thing but in the middle of that netflix is winning and netflix is winning at least in part because they've got so much money but they can also be nimble with that money so you saw what happened with coba yashi and uh... joey chestnut right did you say worse that date netflix is going to pivot to take that from nathan's because they have the dexterity in order to do live content where they can suddenly take

that holiday by just taking the two brands in competitive eating and say well you're going to discard that okay we'll take that and look at what we'll do will and everything that you have over there and joey chestnut will be a vegan hot dog eater and we're going to pay brands and we're going to do it live uh... It is super interesting to me to watch the big money because Amazon's not gonna sit this out, Stugatz. Bezos is not gonna sit this out. They're gonna lead on the live programming but Amazon's gonna have to get in that game. What's remarkable about Netflix is this veering into a long, the groundwork was laid long ago, but we're seeing it

all actually play out now. Them really turning to live events kind of happened as they did the password sharing thing and the crack down there. Which worked. It really worked because it was not like eight months ago. You're saying that they're winning now. Eight months ago, strike was going on, people were worried, oh you can't actually show your subscriber base, you're saying that they're winning now, hey, months ago, strike was going on. People were worried, oh, you can't actually show your subscriber base. You'll tank the industry. You'll tank the stock price. They were in a bad way. And in just a couple of short months, they've totally turned the narrative around.

And Netflix is going to turn this chestnut versus Kobayashi thing into an annual thing or into something that continues as a franchise, just the way they did in golf with that thing where once a year they have the four celebrities play around a golf. That's going to be the same thing with eating now. They swooped in and they're going to own this. Netflix is now going to own competitive eating. They have the two guys you want to see eat. I can't believe it. It's amazing how nimble they are because as soon as the news breaks that Joey Chestnut, as soon as that stuff comes in about the vegan hot dogs and there was even a back and forth. No, no, he's not exactly out. Before you can get that sentence

out, Netflix announces him versus Kobayashi. Well, presumably his agents were putting all that together, right? And that's why it takes them $1.2 million deal because he knows he has the Netflix things coming. When you say people are gonna get in the game, do you mean Amazon's gonna have hot dog eating contests also or just general live events? Because it'd be great if everyone just had their own hot dog eating contest, like Apple has when Amazon.

But Netflix has the two guys you wanna see, right? They do, that was a smart move by them. I'm gonna read something to you about Netflix from Vulture's streaming newsletter. Less than two years after Wall Street, many in the entertainment industry soured on Netflix. There's been a vibe shift from both camps. The streaming giant is back on top,

arguably stronger than ever. In recent weeks, its stock price has flirted with all-time highs as investors applaud Netflix's return to double-digit subscriber growth and quarterly profits measured in billions. Those gains have come in no small part by a series of moves consumers would probably say they hate. Cracking down on password sharing, putting commercials on shows, and hiking the monthly fee. But those viewers seem pretty satisfied by Netflix's content

strategy embracing both ambitious bets like Three Body Problem and Ripley as well as crowd pleasers such as The Night Agent and the roast of tom bradyn it doesn't hurt that rival conglomerates have once again taken the leasing their biggest library titles to the enemy allowing netflix to give its member access to linear tv page subs fave such as young shelton overall this year's ranking race wasn't even close says one veteran tv publicity executive future installments of the survey may actually need to place net flicks in its own above-it-all category with everyone else fighting each other down below while the king sits by and takes it all in amused

uh... they stay announced themselves with what the ridiculousness of jake paul and mike tyson is because everybody's trying to get into live sports but now you're just going to take over sports. You're going to take competitive eating. You're going to take boxing because you're going to take a big night in boxing and just put on a circus event of ridiculousness as you already get in the wrestling game because you're spending, you're making Nick Khan and Vince McMahon all kinds of rich because they have a product that they can put live on on Netflix and MMA is about to come up again at ESPN Dana White's gonna get out of there in

2025 he's not gonna be at Disney anymore. He's gonna go over to Netflix and I've been such great partners to him I'm curious to see how that plays out I love that it can like a streamer that Made its billions upon billions on video on demand and you watch on your own time now making a play for linear televisions big ratings grabbers live events live sports roast that feels like an event I want to be surprised to see if they make a play on an award show because these are things that you have to experience live and if linear TV is going to start getting out resourced in that game then

the whole thing looks super different until we all just revert back to cable television. Greg I heard you and your son talking and he was accusing you of privilege because of some take that you had about parking that I wasn't privy to but I only caught a piece of it and I I'm not used to your son looking at you he's a child of privilege and accusing you of privilege but what was this parking related take this privileged parking take it it's my latest pet peeve and I introduced it on my podcast and it's become a real thing in my neighborhood. Okay, neighbors are parking their cars on their lawns. Okay, you got a driveway, but there's a couple of cars in the driveway, three cars in the

driveway, you need more room, I don't know how many cars you got at your house, maybe it's eight, nine. People are parking on their lawn, not on the swale, but on their lawn. Wow. And it's ugly. I don't know where privilege comes in, it's ugly. I'm saying it's because you have a house

that your sons have left and you only have two cars there, but there are people who have houses where they have their sons living there and their sons sons and there are people with a lot of like, where are they supposed to park? But you want your neighborhood to present the right way. Thank you. When people are buying a house,

you want them to drive through that neighborhood thinking it's a good neighborhood and parking your car on the grass of your house does not suggest that this is a good neighborhood. Thank you. I don't know what he's doing there. Greg has every right to be upset. I'm just thinking of Swale.

I drive through your neighborhood. People park on Swales. I don't see people pulling up past the sidewalk onto- I'm gonna take a picture of it and show you. Okay. I'm with you that that's a little odd. You gotta pitch in in the neighborhood. You do.

You have to keep your roof clean. You have to keep the driveway pressure clean. You have to do what you have to do. And the biggest perpetrator happens to be the guy I've already got a beef with, because he's the holiday besmircher who's putting up his Halloween decorations in late August. He's got like the premier corner spot in the neighborhood.

It's one of the first houses you see. He crushes all the holidays. I love this guy's house. When I'm going to my parents house It's like a good energy and I guess he parks on how many people live there though Because Chris's point is a good one if you have eight people living in a home with six cars And you only have a driveway for three or four cars. What are you supposed to do? Okay? He Had this guy has a driveway. He's got a swale

This guy has a driveway. He's got a swale But he's parking his cars willy-nilly All over the grass never in the same spot twice in a row smart Because if you do that the heat of the engine is gonna burn a patch in the grass and the tire marks are gonna Kill the grass as well, so he's doing the right thing But I'm gonna take a picture and show you every time I drive by there's like any, he happens to have like a couple of big giant pickup trucks, big giant pickup truck. That's why, right? That's why there's no more room in the driveway, right? Cause they're getting a bigger driveway. I mean, yeah, it's just, what's, it's an eyesore. It's an eyesore. Isn't this the type of thing that would bring down the property value of your house? The neighbor doing that? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh if you thought Stu gots knew all of the rules of the

Neighborhood just because of etiquette and it's just being polite You don't think that every root good thing that he does is tied to whatever it is that makes him money This guy's like a half a mile away from my dad It doesn't matter. This guy's not affecting my dad's drive. I drive here, Stu Gotts, though. All of a sudden, Stu Gotts is a community organizer. You gotta keep your roof clean. Why do you think that is?

Yeah, it's the head of the HOA. I mean, driving down the value of his home. How long have you had that home? You probably rode a horse and put some stakes in the ground for it. I did, I got the horse out back. Parked in the front would have been funny. Yeah, parked on my lawn, I got the horse out back. Parked in the front would have been funny. Parked on my lawn. I'd rather have a horse parked on a lawn than a big-ass pickup truck.

On your stable. It's ridiculous. Makes sense. Is his driveway otherwise full? Is that the reason that it's happening? There is no like you would have him park where? What's he supposed to do with the other car? I see a big pickup truck on his grass when there is a spot in the driveway Okay, well, it's probably cuz someone's left while that was his wife's not home yet. That's her spot. I'm gonna go to City Hall I'm gonna speak to my commissioners An action-packed fight card is taken over Las Vegas for UFC 303, Alex Beheda versus Yuri Prohaska two in the main event.

All right. Yeah Like I said Greg was right by the way, but he's not a great one until he wins a cup

Yeah, it is. Messier was on my side. He also said he was McUnderrated, which is weird Yeah, he was making mistakes. Mike, who you got? Nationals, Diamondbacks tonight. Slay Chikoni's not very good. They have a bad bullpen. I think the Nationals can tee off a little bit, so we're gonna go Nats against the Sprats.

I used to just snuck that in there, man. I, too, am gonna take the Florida Panthers tonight, Dan. Oh, shit. 0-1 in the last one as we reported earlier in this very exclusive segment here, but you know what they're gonna get tonight, Dan? Some home cooking. Yeah.

That's what's gonna happen. They were the last team to arrive. Edmonton beat them here, I don't know how, but short rest for the Panthers, but they're gonna feel it. They're gonna feel it in the den tonight, in the barn, if you will. There it is. They're gonna win by minus one and tonight, in the barn if you will. There it is.

They're gonna win by minus one and a half. I hate that we're in a contract year with DraftKings and that all around us there's serious and good gambling analysis and that's how Billy gets in. Billy's on fire. I'm right, every single week I predicted the UFL Championship game. And he called it a barn.

Mm-hmm. Oh yeah, he did, yeah, that's who he did call it, a barn. The analysis, the conclusion that we're making around here, because I do have a decision to make on behalf of the company. They are claiming in the department that helps us buy things, they are claiming that they are running out of billboards in Edmonton

and that we have to make a decision quickly. I told you McAfee was gonna buy them, and you guys didn't listen to me. That's what big billboard would say in Edmonton. That is true. They're digital billboards. They can create another one like that. They're saying though that they don't have many left

and that if we want something to run from now until June 25th. I was taking a moose. We have to do it right now. Allocation? I have seen, Angel has done a good job with the graphics, so I have seen a number of the options. These could go up.

These could go up in a way that if the Panthers lose tonight, people streaming into Edmonton for game six would be seeing billboards of Greg Cody saying Greg Cody was right. But that's not funny. If they lose game five, I don't right. But that's not funny. If they lose game five, like, I don't understand. It's kind of funny. I think it's funny.

I think the risk of it all is. Yeah, but at the end of it, I just want to understand what you guys think. You guys are of the belief that what is going to happen here is we're going to put up billboards, and then 40 years from now, somebody's going to happen here is we're going to put up billboards and then 40 years from now somebody's going to say, do you remember that time that the Levitard show cost of Florida and the Panthers the Stanley Cup by putting up a billboard?

Yeah, that legacy will be carried on through my children because I would hold you personally responsible. That's funny. It's not funny. Okay, because you take this very seriously My daughter will be impressed that wait this guy that everyone hates is your he used to be your boss like yes, honey Yeah, the thing that I'm laughing about is that you guys think that we have any control over how the hardest trophy in sports is One like that's the part that's funniest to me. Okay, yeah, superstitions are stupid.

The second funniest part to me is that this particular person, this hockey expert, is saying something that we could say as the most common sports radio argument that we present to the aliens as what's the dumbest things humans do. They take something that's great and they argue about whether it's underrated or overrated or properly rated when everyone rates it differently. Like that's it's almost the dumbest sports argument. This guy who's clearly great at

skating on razor blades faster than everyone else and doing things with the puck that change the way the sport is played, even though Barkhoff is on the other side, that we can affect it by putting an old man's picture up who's got bronze kites and can't get through a segment without whistle wheezing. You're only going to make Greg Cody and fans of just anarchy happy. You're going to make most of this market upset. You're certainly going to make all the other markets upset by being so brash. It's going to be a terrible look for us. If they lose tonight,

go back to Edmonton while you have celebratory billboards up. Like it's, you're doing it for a small fraction of folks. We're looking, do you not care for us? We're asking you to not do this, please. Most people won't get the joke. It'll just make us look unorganized and be like, why'd they do that before they won? We're the three biggest Panther fans that you know.

We're all looking at you, asking you, please, maybe don't do this. Maybe your brand and all that. Maybe you can do all those hijinks after we actually win but on the front end maybe just maybe let's see if we can do something for the first time in franchise history please the man said economic david plays seven minutes a night well i said seven minutes a period no no you said something i knew what you meant, Greg. But you guys are misunderstanding Dan. Inventory is tight, okay?

I don't buy that. And if it's tight, so be it. You gotta act now. Okay, may I? While supplies last. All right. You're looking around to your allies and it's Billy Gill and it's Greg Cody. Yeah.

And no one here is acting in good faith. I think the audience would like me to do this. And you did claim yesterday when I'm asking asking did we get used by Dan Hurley? You're like get used attention is the only thing that matters attention attention is all you ever want around here attention That's what we want. I don't understand what you're doing. There's apples and orange. It's snapples and oranges Well, what's the payoff? It's attention, right? So either way you get the attention We want the attention. No one wants it. No one wants it. No one wants it. If the attention is look at these idiots they lost and they put up a thing like they won like that's not funny It just makes us look dumb. Guys you can put one in front of my house if we win

Just wait. This is coming from Mr. Everything's Good for you. Alright as the star of the billboard as the star of the billboard let me Propose a very simple compromise the billboard goes up in Edmonton tomorrow morning if the Panthers win tonight. Deal! Fine! Good! Dan doesn't want that! Dan won! I'll give you five claps! By then there's no billboards. They run out by tomorrow morning. They need to know now. This is a very effective troll. There's a billboard shortage. We're not doing this is Or Cynthia out there. Can I ask them or what what big billboard is saying about how? Inventory is shrinking in Edmonton as we speak because they're saying we have to do we have to act now My man Craig Came around but but Greg thinks it's a brilliant idea and Greg badly wants to do it because maximum me

Thank you. Yeah, it's a great billboard to especially because the likeness of me is from like 1985. That's what's great. Look youthful It's just a musty musty photo All this is Dom the Oilers are really good after a three-game losing streak just as funny after it's not funnier They got a win here before they got it win. They gotta beat a good team. Wake up in Edmonton and the billboards are there. They gotta beat a really good team. A team that's hard to beat. A team that on the balance of the entire series

probably shouldn't be down three one. It's a good team. This show is playing Panther like defense right now. Swarming. Our four check, this show's four check right now is overwhelming. Edmonton should wake up to that billboard after the cats raise the cup tonight. And you know it.

That's what should happen. And you know it. And you know it. But they can't, they can't unless Dan puts the order in now. That's the point. Correct. But the order in now is contingent on the Panthers winning. Act like we've been there.

And if they don't win, you eat the deposit. You eat the deposit if the cats lose. Eat the deposit? That's on the Panthers winning Deposit you eat the deposit if the cats lose the deposit I've seen the quotes Will be will live okay? Trust me it's like a fourth of your four stops on a flight to Edmonton. Oh good, oh great. We're good. Greg, I do want to celebrate how pathetic your mustache is one week into this experiment. You're gonna keep it up, right? This has been meant, your wife hates, she must hate what's happening.

Well she's mocking it right now more than hating it. Give her time to hate. But it's gonna take, the way that it is now, you look like somebody, okay, who runs a business in railroad in the 1920s. Yeah, that's what I'm going for. So thank you. You're somebody who pays for things in cattle. Right. That's right. No, I feel that it's coming in. You know, I don't like to look

at it because it makes me sad. Slowly, yeah. But I feel like it's coming in. I don't like to look at it because it makes me sad. Slowly, yeah. But I feel like it's coming in. It's not coming in and it's going to be a month before it comes in at all. It's not a problem. It is barely something that anyone can see and it's patchy. We're zoomed in on it and I can barely see it. It looks like you've just missed some spots shaving.
