You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertor Show with the Stugat Spatcast. Alright, we kind of lost over in last segment. Juju, we have the picture on the YouTuber you want to check it out. Juju was in the blind side. Like, there he is, right there, looking exactly the same age as he is today. It's unbelievable. Yeah, they thought I would cap it out. You feel me?

I was in the movie for real. With the same chain I got on the day, man. You feel me, same OG. So they came to what neighborhood was it? This was actually, uh, uh, that was in the hood in Atlanta. There was about a destroy it. And the, uh, and I on the field, you know, LA,

I'm not sure what the, what the hood was, but. It's not as important. The fact that it is, uh, the hood is what I was going to because I, it's embarrassed yesterday. I took my son to the barbershop, get a haircut, and my man gave all some limp dab.

Oh no. Oh damn, damn, damn. I disowned him, I threw him right under a bus. I was like, who's kid is that? I'll hit this and out, limp dab. I was so disappointed. Cause I mean, he knows he's 10.

He knows the importance of a quality depth. It is, it matters. But you were talking earlier about the importance of failure. Yeah, and he failed at that moment. He's stronger with your greeting. I mean, it's depth is a cultural thing that is very important amongst black men. It expresses something.

I saw Hawk walked into studio, saw Juju in the morning, I saw them, and then I gave them a firm dab. It expresses a lot of things. Most importantly, I think that was developed. It's an important thing. You think I'm just messing with you, but I'm not, I'm serious, Billy, get ready.

It's developed on the Vietnam War. It was meant for the Black Tias to express to one another that they had each other's back because the white soldiers did not. So that is where that was created. And that still persists today as an acknowledgement that we and this together I got your back. I went to Aspen last year spring break. Bitch.

Not that many black people there. I saw black people and there's the kind of an unwritten rule. The fewer black people that are around, the more excited you got to be when you see each other. Hey man. I ran into a brother on the slopes. I was so happy. He just gave me a little hello, sir. Oh, no. Hell no. I was like, what? I got nervous because what if something pop off? I need to know that you got my back. I saw that same man later at the restaurant, the bar and the hotel.

So I gave him another chance. Maybe he was exhausted. We can play in about family trips, they're tired, maybe he was exhausted. Second chance. I walked over to my man. What's up brother? Extended the hand at deaf angle. This is important. I did not put it at handshake angle. Yeah, what's up brother, extended the hand at deaf angle.

This is important. I did not put it at handshake angle. Yeah, that's a deaf angle. It is important. It is important. I didn't go handshake angle. I went deaf angle. What is deaf angle?

Just if you can explain that to the audience. If you don't know then. Yeah, but I know. It's about the people listening. It's a posture. It's like a 15 degree tilt with a body posture that suggests, like, no, we bought the depth and the clap is important. So I approached him and this man converted my depth.

It's a handshake? He twisted me down. Wow. That full twisted me down. Insult, I packed up. We got to get out of here. This ain't safe for us here family. We must go. You know where I came I came to Miami. Yeah. Immediately after straight to Miami, you defiance the safety and some

depths. I will and my son knows how to give that. It doesn't sound like it. Oh, he gives plenty of He chose. He chose. Maybe of all places. A lot of places, right? At the barber shop. You can't film with a dab. Yeah. If we were anywhere else, I'd have pulled him aside. Yeah, your dad was a little weak, but in there, made a scene. Whose boy is this giving out this limp dab? So whoever's son this is needs to stand up right now and speak for themselves.

You didn't have to say a word. I mean, it's just, I don't know. You gotta put them on dapp punish me before I'm mind. You mean you gotta dapp off everybody, even the little girls in your class dapp them off. Dapp off you, Sam. Yeah, it's important. I was wondering, is there other like customs and cultures

that you feel are important that you need to pass on? What is it for you guys who have kids? There's something else, because that is the highest one for me that, if my son goes in the world not knowing how to adapt, I feel like I fail. How do you adapt Jeremy Tasey? It's a great question.

Stick on my hand for a firm handshake, just like this, Juju. Looks great, right? Yeah, I know, man. I'm playing into the character. Like if you really want to know, I mean, let me see it, let me see it, Jeremy. Get that white guy sounder ready. Okay, I know. I mean, I'm playing into the character. I think you're like, if you really want to know, I mean, let me see it, let me see it, Jeremy.

Get that white guy's sound, they're ready. Okay, I don't know where he's at. You are a husband. I mean, this one that says white guy's. You gotta have, you gotta have the name. Okay. You have the right angle, you don't want your own. Whoa, whoa, Jeremy, you know what I don't need?

I don't need you coaching me up on that. I'm just trying to help you. The liver of that. Let's make it abundantly clear. I'm not trying to explain the depth to anybody. I'm just trying to explain, the liver of death. Let's make it abundantly clear. I'm not trying to explain the depth to anybody. I'm just trying to explain how a depth plain would work. I would never depth.

It's natural. You don't need to coach it. Do it. Let me explain it. OK. All right. How is the D? Is that fine?

Limit D. It's a solid depth. It's a solid depth. It says it's a solid depth. Average depth is average. Limit D. You're a jangle. Yeah. What are we talking about? What's your depth look like, Billy? I don't know. It's a solid dance average depth is average limped on a jingle. Yeah, what are we talking?

What's your dad look like Billy? I don't know time to see the dad. All right. Let's see your dad. Yes, be careful. All right. See Billy. Yeah. Okay, you nervous. Give the camera a second to catch up. Okay.

I know he caught. I can call it RIS on that. It's like a solid depth. I like it. No, no, we do. Oh, I know we go back. Good grab right there. That was good grab. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't sound good. I'm any depth. You can't have the chair in the way. This many chances that that I'll tell you Tony

Oh, here we go. Oh my, Tony need a seat, that's go that thing. Oh, you don't learn Okay, I'm sanitizer for no no Oh, you can't you can't sanitize the after the doubt, but you do is doing the same thing. Oh, okay Okay, okay, it's a dude's a Tony's dude you can all right, so I guess I was wondering if you can Yeah, dude, dude, dude's good man. Yeah, you got a sanitized You know, where's he out of doubt? You got a sanitite. You don't know. I don't doubt that.

Two random brothers. I don't know what the hands are. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, brother. Billy, what is it that you want to pass on to your daughters? Is there a cultural thing? I'm none of what I just did now. I won't pass now.

Your daughters don't need to know how to adapt. I'm not teaching my daughters the importance of adapt. Like, it's just not a thing. But the son got to know the adapt. I was so ashamed. So what did you tell him anything? Did you correct the behavior? I said, you came in that weekend, is that?

I was like, I'm joking about making a big scene, but I was like, I was soft-dap. Like, what is going on? I was concerned. I didn't know where I went wrong. Where have I failed you my boy? Barrie's me, but it sounds like it's more your fault. It was I take full responsibility It was that the boy yelling at him for I mean I was I didn't yell at him I really was like why you get out of here?

That and then I sit in the chair for 30 45 minutes ticket haircut and I reflected on my entire life and where I went wrong, where I had a son, because I've seen him give strong depth. He sees his friends strong depth, strong depth all the time. Give me strong depth. He even got the hugged that down. Then we go to the barber shop. Give me a week what I was crushed, man.

Greg Cuddy ever had a secret handshake with somebody? No. No, I haven't. Not even Reggie? No, no, I haven't. Not even Raggi? No, no, not even Raggi. That's shocking. Yes, and we should get one more photo day of with me. Yeah, I like that.

I love you. I love you never know that. There we got to. I looked up the etymology of DAP but to see if it was an acronym for something and it does have something here. I'm curious what you think it literally means. A dignity and pride.

Correct. Yeah. Try to, try to fight. Come on. I'm a man. I mean, you should be angry. You should be upset. Like I'm the only one.

I'm like, boy, man. Where's he at? He had the opportunity to say, it stands for, but he chose not to say it stands for. He said, I'm wondering if you know, I'm essentially said, I'm checking your blackness. This man try to pull my black card on graduation. And guess what you had in your back black? Congratulations, you just renewed your blackness. Congratulations, you had black.

But yeah, Dahlene had the big junkering his black. He ain't no, it was coming for me. Like I don't know nothing about my blackness, huh? Greg, the charge of who's holding the black one? I'm confused. Hey, just like that, Dominique is black. Thank you, Greg. Appreciate it.

Thank you for your approval. You got to vote another year. Does handing down a language count? Absolutely. I think especially when you're in a country that obviously doesn't speak the language, well, I guess we don't, as a United States, we don't have an official language, right? No.

But it's not Spanish, so I think handing out Spanish counts. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out, because my wife has set our Disney plus to Spanish, because we speak Spanish to our daughter, right? But most of the interaction is in English. Now, where we live is like you can go anywhere and only speak Spanish and you're fine, right? My mother lost speaks to her in Spanish. We speak to her kind of in both, but like we'll do Spanish and English,

but both my parents speak to her mostly in English, but she doesn't want her to lose the Spanish. So like a lot of times the shows are set to Spanish. So I've been watching the show Fancy Nancy. I don't know if you've got, have you watched Fancy Nancy? The book, right? Yeah, but now it's like a Disney Plus show.

It's available on Disney Plus, whatever. The gist of it from what I've gotten, because I'm watching it in Spanish, is it's a little girl who's fancy and pretends to be French. So I'm watching a show in Spanish of a girl who's in Spanish pretending to be French. It's kind of confusing. I lost kind of the plot.

I remember the fancy Nancy Brooks. The point of it was like I think the teach kids vocabulary. It's like I'm fancy Nancy. I use bigger words than I have to to teach you about words. And I can't imagine that. What's up, YouTube? Got one of the clues, bombs, please. Middle art media, we should make a cartoon for the kids.

A little tutorial, something simple that involves Ramageel making noises. Yeah. And he can be involved in a Dan with love. And you know, he loves hip hop, I would love it. The plural is, come on up. Let's get on the metal art and cartoon 80 20 80 20.

Yeah, you're way. Ramageel's way. Yeah, end out man's way into business. So what are you passing on to to Chris, correct? What am I passing on? Yeah, what's the cultural significant thing that you want to make sure that Chris remembers and holds on to, is it language, that?

I will say that I was never a hugger most of my life. Like my dad and I never hugged. And then, very late in his life, when I was preparing to lose him, we began to hug. And I am passing that along to my sons. It's very nice, Greg. I think we're much more intimate physically in terms of hugging and stuff like that than we used to be. And that's a concerted effort. I want that.

While building hug? No. No. Nope. That was beautiful. The hard network out is coming to not get here with it right here. Just, I'm going to lay on it for you, brother. Thank you. Way to do, dude?

Don Lebertard. He for some reason would do a Gary Stevens impersonation of the offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami. Go ahead. You want to do that for the people? You're Gary Stevens impersonation. You want to give people some of that 30 years in the making. Spookats.

What? Who needs me? Oh, that? What? Do that my whole life. You're going to go to Buffalo and win with Bernie Parmaly. Who needs me? This is the Dalabatar show with Estoucats. and they're gonna change their name again. They had a little inner squad practice

that escalated into a fight because a little scuffle receivers. I've been in a bunch of training camp fights. They're fun. Well, why are they fun? Because everybody knows it's not serious. You're just tired of each other, tired of being out there, tired of sweating.

The joint practice is a risky one because joint practice can escalate and we've seen those escalate to bad places People swinging helmets Aaron Donald looking angry, which is a bad place But the like within your own team we don't really want to hurt each other We just want to fight cuz we're mad like those those are fine I've been in plenty of those. I've never been in the joint like that's risky that could clear to bench I see Justin Tucker put his helmet on like he was walking in to get busy at the end of this video.

This one internet. You think Justin Tucker can fight? Yeah, I do. Yeah, I think he can't. I'm not gonna doubt Justin Tucker. He should have the red jersey on by the way. He's important. More importantly, do you think Justin? You think a mean thinks he can beat Justin Tucker in a fight because Justin Tucker. I mean, I mean, he definitely does. He said he could beat Messi, which of course not. I mean, he did. He literally kick his ass. All right, to look at my brother, I mean, but he don't not want Justin Tucker and nothing. That boy got it looking his eyes.

I know when I see it. He got it. Yeah, he's saying I'll help him. Oh, no, watch out. The Ravens. He's dangerous. Yes. The Ravens, I don't know, as you may know,

have a 24 game preseason winning streak. I remember being there and John Harbock cared about winning every game. It was about the attitude that you take into every game was kind of how he felt about it. It's clear that they still care a great deal about winning preseason games. I can't imagine a worse thing to do

than win a bunch of preseason games because it just sets you up to be mocked. It just sets you up to be made fun of because if they, fortunately for them, they've been successful, I mean, pretty much since their inception, one of the best organizations in football, but it's not fun to make fun of that.

That's boring. Let's make fun of them caring too much about the preseason. Did that annoy you that Harbaugh had that kind of like, no, cause I was brainwashed. And we all like, like he was doing the right thing, he was doing it the right way. Yeah, that's how we all felt.

It's like, yeah, you take this incredibly seriously. Everything matters, all of this matters. We don't let anything slip. Like I believed and I agreed and I wanted to win the preseason game too, where I'll hit playing, let's freaking win. When did you stop being brainwashed? Because we were watching the first episode

of Hard Knocks last week and we were talking about Robert Salas speech at the beginning where he was talking about bald eagles and crows and you fly up and then the crows suffocates and falls down and dies and all that stuff. And I was telling Stu Godds on a podcast. I was like, I feel like you can only really get motivated if you wanna be motivated.

You know what I mean? Cause like if you're just listening to that speech you're like, this is nonsense. Like what are you doing? But if you're in it and you're like brainwashed at the time, you're like, yeah, like we're gonna go out there and we're gonna beat the Falcons or whatever it is that the point of the speech was.

You know what I mean? So like at what point did you, I presumably after your career, look back and say like, yeah, a lot of that was, you know what I mean? So like, at what point did you presumably after your career, look back and say like, yeah, a lot of that was, a lot of that was just nonsense. I say brainwash, but I think maybe we're different, we're brainwash by different things as a different degrees because at the time, and I don't judge anybody who's in it,

it seems ridiculous from afar, but there's nothing more powerful than feeling like you're a part of something, be it a family, an organization, a team, and when you feel like you are a part of that team, those speeches do mean something to you. And in a sport like football where you are really in many ways responsible for the well-being of your teammate physically and financially, it does matter. And so if it's a corny speech that I know wouldn't work anywhere else, but in that room at that time, and I buy into it, it's fine.

It's fun. You feel a part of it. The tough thing with our speeches though, with the Ravens was Ray gave most of them. They made no sense. No, it wasn't that they made sense. It's that my man, he recycled. He recycled some speeches. Wow.

Really? He'd been in a game for a long time And he delivered a lot of impassioned speeches and I wasn't I hadn't been there long enough with the guys who had been around For a while they'd be calling out lines before he hit them. They call out the live All right call out live Did anyone say like tell Ray like hey, you've done this before that the best part. And that was one of the best things about Ray Lewis is he didn't act like that. Like, unapproachable. Yeah. People would roast him for the speeches.

And he would laugh it off and keep it moving. And I never did. But other people would now, but he knew like three years from now, this one's coming back up again because it can be a new roster. Yeah. He'd a go for that. So Ed Wien was laughing at us. That's what you're saying. I mean, it wasn't just Ed, like it was open, it was that kind

of open joke. People would roast ray about that. And then he'd go out and make 15 tackles and then be fine. I got to imagine there's some similar stuff that happened in the heat locker room the last few years with Edawn as Haselam. Like, stay ready so you ain't got to get ready is they love it. But it's the same sort of thing where it's like they know what the lines are before they're coming. I want to know, like, do we have, could we have like a top five of things that Ray Lewis said over and over and over and over and over again? Is that something that's possible? Like, what were the types of things that stood out that Ray Lewis would recycle in speeches?

Um, I think the, a lot of them became more public. So like the one about how important the team was to the city was a powerful one. And he meant it every second of it. We just heard him say before and like how the crime stats were impacted by whether the team won a loss. Who knows whether it's true or false, but when you bought a go step out there on the field and my plan for my brothers around me, no, I'm all his saving lives. That is I mean, that works.

What? I remember, that was, I remember a couple of times when we got that speech, it was a good one. He meant to have, everywhere he said of it. Every time he said it, every time he said it, it was a good one. Was there any truth to it? I have no idea.

I didn't do the research. We got out here fact checking. Did you wear it? Right. That craved. Perpetual journalist take take your journalism hat off a second scoops. Okay. That thing was working. It was popping.

I liked that it was just an ability to sort of go into re what reruns the same way that like if you just went and saw your favorite artist perform your favorite song. The first time you'd be like absolutely blown away. You can remember forever cheering like crazy. And then by like the 10th or 12th time you've seen a performance like, all right, you've seen this one before. Right. He's doing the crime speed.

Right. Right. I prefer to look at it, dear sing alongs, as people would get excited. Lighters. Whoa. Am I gray holding the mic and like holding it to the crowd to finish. Lighters. Whoa. Am I gray holding the mic? And like holding it to the crowd to finish part of the story. Yeah, like that's the whole one.

You guys know how we're going with this one. Yeah. Did the details ever change? Like the stories become more fantastic as the years would go by? No, they were pretty consistent. Man knew his classics. You know you get mad when you go to a concert

and they want to play the new album stuff? Ray wasn't playing that game. This guy knows his audience. I know what you came for. No, but I'm saying like one time is like, you know, there is a hundred people And then the next time was five thousand people you know, I mean like the stories just became more and more No, he kept he kept the stories Consistent because he he knew we knew it was coming. He knew he's giving us we would accept it It was fine. We go out and hit people in a mouth. That's the fact of the matter is the pregame speech. It's a great thing

for movies. It's fun for hard knocks pregame speech ain't never made a tackle. Not one tackle in the history of football pregame speech ain't never thrown a touchdown. Pregame speech ain't never blocked. Nobody. You know what happens? You go out there and whoops the mask that pregame speech sound a whole lot better afterwards. But without a high school, it was the guy on our team trying to give a pre-game speech. He just point everybody out like man another thing. And this is it. And he got finished talking. My boy said man, sit your ass. Right. That was the plan. planet, seven world, man. Was it somebody who plays or does it play that part? No, I think you played that part, you should be doing all this.

You ain't been a contribute to none of this tissue just here. Do you have someone that you, I mean, you don't have the name names, that you remember was just terrible at the speech. Like terrible, this pregame speech, like they tried to motivate you and you're like, was it always Ray making the speech? No, it wasn't always right. I mean, Ray was the go-to guy for most games and we didn't have a pregame speech for every

game, but sometimes you needed a little pep in your step. Did you read every step up? Oh, yeah. It was more low key with his pregame speeches, but you guys have seen him in the locker room. It's not an organized thing. You saw him in Miami. It was just about, I think, the pregame speech is more about the credibility that you have built up

along the way, which is why Ray could say whatever the hell he wanted and any order he wanted and any time that he wanted, it was Ray Lewis saying it so it meant something. And I think the same was true for Ed Reid and anyone else who was of that caliber to make a speech. And Ed was more judicious in the times where he would talk. Ray was more extroverted to make a speech. And it was more judicious in the times where he would talk.

Ray was more extroverted and outspoken. But when Ed said something, it was rarely like loud and emotional, except for the times when it needed to be. But people shut up because it doesn't talk. And it's not here for the cameras. It's not here for anything, but winning and money.

Everybody's there for money. Well, like Chuju pointed out, like if you're not that good, then it's kind of awkward. So who's the worst player you to point it out like if you're not that good, then it's kind of awkward So who's the worst player you played with who gave a great pregame speech? Oh So I think that happens when you get a player who has something going on in his personal life Okay, that guy who may not be that important to the team But he got the week of practice off because he had to go spend time with his mom who's in bad health that guy comes back

Oh that man doesn't matter if he's third string left guard doesn't make a difference that guy comes back It's a big pregame speech. Yeah, you're motivated because it's your brother who's going through something and you care about them and You guys are angling for me to give you my pregame speech. You're not getting it. Oh, did you give one? I wanted. How many times you give a pregame speech? I mean, a couple times. How many of you were sick? Like, how do we get to you? Respectfully. Come on, you could do it, man.

Okay, go ahead. Recreate a pregame. Come on. Michael Irving has done it on this show. I can't follow Michael Irving's pregame. There's a few building blocks, like a few things you need to have. You just speak to at least Irving has it.

It's the moment, it's our time, it's out on this field, it's us's the moment. It's our time. It's out on this field. It's us against the world. It's the thing that Michael Irvin has is a preacher's command. And Ray has that also where it's about the timing, it's about the enthusiasm, and underrated, the gravel. Gotta have a little gravel in your voice. A little gravel in your voice that speaks to real pain in your life. That'll grab you. I don't care what you do.

You can read out a nursery rhyme. If you got a little gravel, I feel like a three game speed. That's a good start. Yeah, working on a work. Pickery, dickery, duck. Ooh, I'm ready to hit the out front throw all for you. Hey mouse, run up the clock. Run up the clock.

I like that clock. Run spoons. Don like that clock. Real spoons. Don Lebertard. Many of you, by the way, are writing in and you're saying Dan, quit being so mean to co-host that you always deem incompetent. That's the formula, man. Me being mean to the co-host is what allows two gods to take a very wealthy vacation right now. Still, guys, it's a winning position for everyone, but me. Have you guys not figured this out yet?

That's the whole thing. It's me being rotten straight, man, as everyone else gets to be incompetent and I yell at them for being incompetent. And here's the miracle of it. And it's the magic elixir. Bad, which is the only thing Greg Cody can be, becomes good and lovable. And it's because standing next to obnoxious strident me makes everyone look that way. Yeah, and the brush with death helped.

Yeah, that was planned by me. The whole thing was contrived. VCC dan lebertar show with this two gods. All right, Greg Cody has addressed the elbow. There's no longer dripping. This is one of many injuries for the great, great Cody. You're a mystery blood age already. Is that a, I know, I know where it comes from.

It was dry blood. Blood sells on surprises me. I'm mystery blue or I'm mystery bruise age already. Like I also just bump into things all the time. You know what I mean? So I just forget that I bumped. It's not like I wake up and I have like a giant one on my ribs and I'm like, where did that come from?

I could track it back, but like I get mystery bruises, but not just bleeding. Yeah, I mean, I got mystery sorenesses. I pop up, I just slap whatever I'm just, I don't know. I mean, it's not much of a mystery, I mean, or vocation for a long time, kind of. Yeah, good point, Roy, it's not a mystery. I got a trick told, maybe now in the,

really, which one? Really? Is it tell jokes or what? Why is it? Ha, ha, ha. Hi, it's funny for you to bring it up. I, okay, I know TikTok is like the most addictive of all the social media is out there

and it perfectly learns you. And I'm in sleight of hand TikTok. I'm deep in sleight of hand TikTok and there's this one to like. Oh, it's great. There's this one guy. I gotta find his name. I'll send you some clips.

Please do, I mean. He does incredible tricks where he just shuffles the cards and picks out any card that you call for out of a 52 deck. He puts a timer out there so that you notice not editing. He tests the gravity, he does all these things, then he does the gravity. Yeah, because apparently some people can use tricks with, I don't know.

So like, if the gravity doesn't work, we're in big trouble. It's not a massive trick. It's actually floating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's something else. But anyway, I'll't know. So like if the gravity doesn't work, we're in big trouble. It's not to be exploding. Yeah, it's something else. Anyway, I'll send you some links. We'll do, we'll talk about that later. I'm glad that you brought that up because yesterday, yesterday, Dominique, you weren't here, but someone said to someone in this room and I'll let you guess who someone went across the table over there and said, you look like you know a lot of magicians. Can you guess who that was said to? And do you think that should have been an insult?

Who looks like they know a lot of magicians? Mm-hmm. I think a lot of magicians are looking at... It's more, I don't see a lot of magicians. I see a lot of magic-thed gathering looking people out there. Like, they play magic cards. You remember in high school, there was a table. I didn't feel like this organization

is comprised of a lot of magic players. So who was it? It was Jeremy. It was Jeremy that he looks like he has a lot of magic. It was Tony. It was Tony who said it to me. What a fat Tony. Tony said I looked like I know a lot of magicians.

And I resent that comment. Yeah, it was single magician. That is a magician's coat if we be in on this. Yeah, it's fair. He knows a magician. He's insane. You know, I did the musical theater thing. In turn, you got to know some magicians.

Yeah, maybe one or two people also know a card trick or two, but you know, it was one of the rooter comments. I think one of the rooters and I felt bad because I did it and it was a joke, but it didn't land the way I wanted it to. It was Googler. One of the first weeks that he was here, I was gonna go have lunch with him, welcome him into town. And we were gonna go to lunch and we're like, where are we gonna go on a go?

Where do you wanna go? Cause you look like someone that has a lot of dietary restrictions. Wow. God damn. I mean, Jesus Billy. I just wanna make sure, you know what I mean? The club in New Zealand, he got a couple of tricks of his name, his name, and a couple of allergies as well.

He does look like he was a magician at one point. Like he tried to do and work out. He was, he was delivering his bucket. Yeah. Do you watch the videos of? It's a Googler. Do you watch the videos of how they solves like the magic tricks, like how it works?

No. Like I saw how the, the one where you pour the salt into your hand and then you pour it out into the cup, I saw how that one works to fake thumb spoiler. It is? Uh oh. Yeah. Do you want to know?

I mean. No, but it just kind of came up and I was like, well, I guess I know now. I was just ruined. You just ruined at least one child right? And what the dad is doing is the whole perception of his world. Thanks, Billy. Congratulations. Here's a little for that. You know, this world. Thanks, Billy. Congratulations.

Sorry. Here's a little known fact. Christopher, when he was about, I would say 12 to 14 years old, that era loved the idea of becoming a magician. And we actually sent him to, I didn't know there was such a thing, but we actually sent him to magic camp. Yeah, I did. I did.

You're getting out of here. Yeah. Thank you so much for this, of years of his life. He was obsessed with magic. Like anytime you would be walking through a mall and there was anything that looked like a magic store, he would spend a half hour in there. He would ask for, you know, things that cost hundreds of dollars. This is a best day ever. It was crazy. You wouldn't buy those things, of course, right? No, but there were a couple of Christmases in a row where if you got him anything magic

related, it was like his favorite gift. Did anything take like does he have tricks of a seat? I think to, well, this is not really related directly to magic, but he can juggle better than most people. I bet if you ask him that he remembers a couple of magic tricks. But Juggling's like a skill, it's not magic, right? Right, right. But they tend to be a little bit related.

What about, can you name some of the Christmas gifts you gave him that they've been ecstatic over magic? There were definitely some trick decks of cards. That was a big thing. It's not all sleight of hand. Sometimes it is, you know, did he ever try to solve Michael that half and you're like, no, no, no, we're not there. You're Christopher. Not Michael. Yeah. Yeah, but it was the other way around. Maybe it would have been fine. Yeah. But there were things where, you know, it There'd be something on a table and he'd lift something off and it's no longer there, you know, I want the Greg Cody

performance reaction to all these lame ass magic tricks you had to pretend like you were impressed by him. Well, a couple of them were actually like, wow, how'd you do that? You know, I'm really, I mean, I'm spending hundreds of dollars on this summer magic camp. Hopefully he comes home with something that impressive me.

She had got him an Anthony Hardaway, Jerry, is he, he's Vimmy? There we go. You want to go to Magic Camp? And Frini. There you go. Are you going in hoop? That would have been cheaper than Magic Camp.

I'll tell you that. And this is a guy. Scott's going. I can't imagine. I mean, I don't want to body shame anyone, but who's spending their summer doing magic tricks? Like, I feel like summer is for running and funding outside, right? Well, I guess in Miami, it's too hot. It's a fair question though. I mean, who goes to magic kid? I had no idea there was a

magic kid. It was, uh, I dropped them off and picked them up every day. And let me just say that the, uh, the nerd quotient was on the high side. Oh. Oh man, that's messed up. That's the magicians. The nerds. They are talented and extraordinary people who have mastered a craft that none of us have spent the time to learn praise to the magicians. Giant, right? Yeah, with that jacket on.

I think I should keep going and then I'm gonna. I mean copper field is a nerd, is he not? Yes. Yeah, and that way you just reminded me, that was another thing that Christopher mastered with whatever that whole thing was, where you pulled something out of your sleeve and it kept coming and then all of a sudden

it was in your pocket. What? Yeah, just so, the big handkerchiefs, the endless handkerchief. I don't know. Yeah, this is 20 years ago. You do look like you're, Jeremy, you look like you're about five years away from taking quarters out of kids' ears. It's inevitable.

You know what you got? But you guys talked earlier about like not liking that you have to pretend things are interesting for kids. That's like one of my favorite things as a camp counselor is to pretend that I'm really excited and then watch a kid get really excited because I'm really excited. Like I can't wait to constantly be faking excitement over really lame shit like that. That's what you say. You have to do it all the time. You get tired of it. Trust me. That's what we do on the show every day anyway. But Greg, it seems like you are faking it with Christopher.

You were generally entertained. He had a couple of tricks that were, you know, rudimentary magic tricks that when done well, it makes you go, Oh, really? How'd you do that? You know, I appreciate how you made that blood disappear. That was amazing. Thank you, Naziko.

Thank you very much. I was talking about your other ailments that you had. You came in here earlier today complaining about a bum hammy. I pulled a hamstring. I don't think I pulled it. Bammie. What's a very minor injury that's muscle injury that's not a weak, a weak, a weak, a weak, a weak, a strain.

I was bowling of all things and my left hand made me cry out and anger. So he could tell us how agony. Yeah. So that's, you know, terrible. Well, this part Christopher had a bowling league or bowling team he started, right? Are you on that team? Yeah, I am. And in our first league night is in like two weeks.

So I got to, you get to make it? Like, practice. Was there a tryout? No. You're gonna rest that thing up. You know what a you get to make it. And like practice was there try out? No, it's a rest of that thing out. You know what? It's a handicap league. So the worst I do is fine as long as, you know, you know, handicap leagues. Wait.

There's handicap and bowling. Yeah. I think we use different terminology now. It used to be frustrating though. It's frustrating though because I used to be a good boulder back in the day. If I'm able, not know. Well, what do you bowling? What were you got like the 160 now. What do you bowling?

What were you at? Like the 160s? What were we at? I bowled at 167, but it took me two games to do it. Ah, seriously, I've been... A couple of 80s something's coming up. I'm just out there. I'm just out there.

That's our classic old man. It is a moment. Oh, wow, wow. So other people is the requirement of the league to be of disabilities? No, no, that's not a handy. No, that's what it sounded like.

No, no, no. No, they called the handy cab league. I'm sorry. Let's go back to make fun of Jeremy with his abracadabra aspect. Yeah, sure, let's do that. Make fun of me. We got two minutes to do it.

Presto Changel. Jacket win ass. You know, it's funny. Domino Changel. Jacket win this. You know, it's funny. Dominic Gasmey, why I was wearing this jacket when I walked in. Oh, it's just Florida, man. Why are you asking Miami?
