You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dan LeBattor Show with the Stoogats Podcast. That's right, it's time for Against the Sprains! And it's brought to you by our friends at DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear all about that DraftKings has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. You said it right. Yeah, I nailed it. Lucy, kick us off.

All right. Last sort of weekend of college football for a hot minute. So I'm going to the SEC Championship game, Texas-Georgia rematch. I really love Texas minus two and a half here. If you guys remember the last time Texas and Georgia played, it was not close. Texas only got back into the game by throwing a bunch of trash on the field. This time, I think George is gonna throw trash on the field.

I think Texas has really figured things out. I think they might be, outside of Oregon, the best team in college football right now. This is a revenge game. George is kinda falling apart. Texas is putting things together. I'm taking the longhorns, minus two and a half, against the Stray.

Mike Ryan throwing things on the field, disrespectful, right? Somebody can die out there, you hit them with something. It's disrespectful to throw things on the field. Are you pro throwing things on the field? Jeez. It was funny at the time. Weird argument.

Yeah, what's happening? Weird argument. I think there was like a stampede across the pond yesterday after a soccer match where 58 people died or something. I would hate to see what started that. By comparison, I imagine it was quite light. Hey, by the way everybody you're welcome for last week's Against the Spread winner, Georgia Tech. They should have won that game straight up. I took them.

How has this been doing by the way? Put the town on alert. Roth weekend, well we went two and four, but we're picking big dogs. Memphis won that game straight up and Georgia Tech should have won that game straight up. So still up on units and still up on moneyline units and probably when you consider the underdogs that were taken. So it's going well. Tonight on the ice, Patrick Laine returns for the Montreal Canadiens, big offseason acquisition, kind of a one-way player. Goal score, dress is kind of funny, they're taking on the Islanders. Right now, the Habs are an underdog,

but I'm gonna go adjusted spread, think that they can actually win this game by minus one and a half, you can get that north of plus 250. So I'm taking the Montreal Canadiens and Patrick Lyon A against the spread. Billy. Huh.

Dare I take the Panthers plus 12 at the Eagles? Dare I? Hmm. I dare. Wow. I think you're gonna take the Panthers plus 12 at the Eagles. That's a big line.

I like the points there. The Panthers, they're losing the right way. I'll tell you that right now. They're showing us something. Not sure what, but something. There's some dog in that cat, you know what I mean? So I think I'm gonna take the Panthers at plus 12 against the Eagles.

Against the spread! Dog in that cat. Let's get somebody who's an actual gambling expert who acts as someone in what? Billy was 3-0 last night. 36-16 on the series. He was 3-0, but Billy is not the star of the Hit Max Original Series bookie, though. He endorses it, though. Billy is 3-0, but Sebastian Maniscalco is the star

of the Hit Max original series, Bookie. And so we'll get to him in just a second because he's early to the Zoom because I gotta get to Wink Martindale. I gotta get to supermarket bars. I did not know that there were any supermarket bars. We gotta get to Ocho Cinco sobbing because the Bengals lost on Night nightcap and I gotta also get

to why it is that Greg Cody in the last segment agreed with Judge Judy when Billy said Judge Judy what the hell was that hmm what was that it's Sebastian is that your doorbell what happened Sebastian what is that that's not me I don't know listen I know I'm early do early. Do your thing. No, no, you're good. No, you're here now. No, no, we cleared the stage, sir. We give you maximum respect around here, even though you seem to be joining us from a hotel in a very small town.

Where are you right now? First, before I get into that, I need the take on everybody in studio on Billy's laptop with the stickers. Um. What age do we lose stickers on the laptop Billy? What? What's wrong with the stickers?

What's happening here? I don't know, the last time I had a sticker collection I was four. Geez. You don't know the joy of scrapbooking my guy. The last time I had a sticker collection I was for Some vinyl stickers are coming back man, I think you're just old yeah, they are I might be I might be it's 51 apparently stickers Yeah, what's your address I'll send you some stickers Billy Billy the famous comedian threw you an easy yes and, making fun of the stickers on your computer, and you defensively come back at him

in a way that just throws a dead fish at our entire show and his act. Like, how do you not say yes and to the man who's on here because you're defensive about the stickers on your computer? We'll try it again, we'll try it again. Okay, so do it again, Sebastian, yes, say it again, say it again, say it again, the whole thing. You were early, so yeah. Billy, Billy, the moment it again, Sebastian. Say it again, say it again, say it again. You were early, so yeah.

Billy, the moment is ruined. Oh. Yes, and? Where are you, Sebastian? I don't, that furniture, where, look, you're at the top of your game right now. Very few people are killing comedy

the way you are, and you don't even have to do it with the podcast the way the other guys do it. You're doing it with comedy and you're doing it with some fun art. Where are you? You're- I'm in Naples, Florida. I've been here for a week at my in-law's house

and if you know anything about Naples, Florida, everybody here goes out at five o'clock for dinner. So, I'm in bed by 7.30 and it's still light out. So I've been enjoying Naples, Florida for about seven or eight days. And I'm here for, until I get to Tampa. And it's having a heaven's waiting room out here. A lot of oxygen and I'm the youngest out here by 30 years.

How did you feel? Because it didn't feel good when Billy came after your age there. I didn't like it. And you came after him for stickers on the computer and then he attacked you with his claws out in ways I didn't totally understand. It's okay, I understand.

It's a sensitive topic, and maybe the next time I come on the show, the stickers will be gone. It's gonna make him think tonight before he goes to bed, what am I doing with stickers on my laptop? It's not something that we'd consider around here. He's not entirely wrong. Well, what is the age that we're done

with stickers on the laptop? What is that age? I'm 26, I don't have any stickers on my laptop. But I don't know, why I just not have the stickers? Oh, Greg has some and he's like 800. Yeah. At least, 805. Look at that.

They're self-serving stickers though. They're not advertising anything. Are there any other kind for you? They're just stickers of, yeah, he is promoting his podcast. A special guest this week is Stu Gantz, as they both sell, they're both bestselling authors here, but I'm talking to Sebastian, I'll give back to him.

Yes, I know you are. Thank you. He is also a bestselling author, by the way. Damn right he is. And I should say, he's got his own podcast, Daddy Versus Doctor and the Pete and Sebastian Show, on all podcast platforms. But it feels to, correct me if I'm wrong,

because you've been grinding your way through the industry for a long time you've seen the evolutions of it you see these podcast guys with followings like yours developing big uh... money and then you see jesal nick say that's not comedy your podcaster if that's where you make your money i respect comedy and you're from that school and your you're crushing right now where where do you do line up on everything i'm saying there well listen let's get it let's let's uh... truth be told nobody listens to my podcast uh... so that i mean i'm not making my bones

doing podcasting pete night but doing the podcast for twelve years as like a labor of love so for for me podcasting doesn't translate into standup comedy. It's two different things. I mean, it's either you can do standup comedy, the way I did it was I just concentrated on standup. So the whole time was standup going up, going to a bowling alley, going to a bar and just making my bones

doing stand up. Yeah, these guys are doing podcasting and a lot of people are coming out to see them because I think they fall in love with the personality more than maybe the stand up. But nothing really has translated to my audience more than stand up comedy. So that's where I kind of focus all my efforts, everything else, whether it be acting or podcasting or writing a book, is, I don't know, second tier for me. You got to devote a lot of time to one thing to be good at it.

So I just devoted a lot of my time to stand up. It seems like a lot of work though, right? The sold out residency at Vegas and Vegas at the Wynn, Madison Square Garden and season two of The Bookie on Max. I don't think that stuff can be done casually. You must be working all the time. Yeah I am working a lot. Being 51, sorry Billy, it's a little taxing on my body, the travel, especially in stand-up going to all these different cities and different beds and whatnot.

It's just a taxing on the body. But this tour, I've been having a blast on. I've been doing this since July. I got Pete Coriali, Pat McGann coming with me on the road, which are two great comedians in their own right. I'm doing it in the round. I set the stage pretty low to the floor, so I do have an intimate kind of setting as much as you can in an arena. And during the off time, I throw in a TV show like Bookie, which I've had a great time doing. Chuck Lurie came up with a great idea. I got bookies coming out of the woodwork

everywhere I go. I'll be at the airwine getting a smoothie and a guy come up to me going, let me be a consultant. I've been doing this for 30 years. So the bookie is not dead. Although there's a lot of fan duels and draft kings and what-have-you a lot of people I've found in doing this show Really really love using a bookie because of the personal relationship The kind of flexibility you have in regards to paying him or her back and this show kind of Follows and chronicles the life of a bookie who I think the connotation is the bookie is some guy who's 300 pounds and he's in his basement and he's you know gonna break your

legs. However you know bookies got a wife, bookies got a kid, bookies got a mother-in-law. So we kind of tackle all those different areas of Danny who I play on the show and people said seem to love it. I miss a good bookie like gambling. I appreciate DraftKings our partners but gambling has become it's become so easy too easy. I miss you know meeting a guy handing him a paper bag of money in an alley and it made me feel alive. It made me feel like the cops were about to put the handcuffs on me.

You know what I'm saying? I miss a good bookie. So are you not using the bookie anymore? Have you went to this online? Online Draft King. Yeah, only Draft King. Only Draft King. But I miss a bookie right now.

It's actually one of my only stickers. Draft King. Draft King. The crown is yours. I specify Draft King, but I miss handing my money to a bookie. Only Draft King. They handed us money. Guys, I'm surprised I was allowed on the show Five Draftings, but I miss handing my money to a bookie. Only DraftGaz. They handed us money.

Guys, I'm surprised I was allowed on the show with DraftGaz being a sponsor. We're also on Max. We're also on Max, and we love Max. Love Max. Peacock as well. Peacock as well, that's right. Sebastian, you are a Big Bears fan.

Can you be a good head coach if your last name is Eber Fluss? I don't think so. I think we gotta bring back a bitka or someone with a vowel at the end of their name. I don't know what's going on with these Bears. Eber Fluss look completely stunned at the end of the game. Poor management. Listen, I'm not Mr. X and O's when it comes to football, but I do know that maybe you should call a timeout with 32 seconds left. Yeah, it's just heart wrenching to be a Bears fan. You know, nothing to really cheer about since 85. I think we went to the

Super Bowl in 07 with the Devin Hester kickoff return against the Colts. But other than that, you know, I think maybe they got to sell the team. I mean, we got to get somebody in there that, you know, doesn't make their money off football. I mean, I don't know. What do I know? I'm just a fan sitting there watching and my father and I get on the phone every Sunday and complain that what are they doing? So I don't know. I think maybe a change of ownership would be Refreshing. All right. Well, that is a hot take. I appreciate you firing the owner of the Bears because you're so pissed off Who is the best quarterback of your Bears lifetime?

Like cuz Rex Grossman is the one who went to that Super Bowl. Is it Jake Cuddler? Like where are you? Where are you in your fandom? I'm going Jim McMahon. I started watching the Bears with Bob Avalini, if you remember who that is. But the 85 Bears from soup to nuts, I don't think you could get a better, I mean, I love the,

Wilbur Marshall and Peyton, Sui and the, by the way, what happened to the fullback? Are we using the fullback anymore? You're right, question. Very infrequently, not very much. Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show, what happened to the, by the way, what happened to the fullback?

Matt Sui triggered that for him. Yeah, yeah. Yes, but you're not done with them though. You're living and dying, so what, I don't know how busy you are or if you on the holidays are all about family. But Thanksgiving, are you watching this with people you care about? Are you watching something you care about

with people you care about and watching your coach do that and then get fired? I gotta be honest with you, this Thanksgiving, it was very minimal watching of any football. I have two kids, five and seven. And the time I have with you, this Thanksgiving, it was very minimal watching of any football. I have two kids, five and seven, and the time I have with them, we were in the pool, kind of goofing around in the pool, and then my father-in-law was kind of shouting at me from the living room going, that's another scorer down 17-0. So I was getting it from him, but I didn't really watch this year.

I gave up on the Bears after, you know, they went four and four and I figured we're going south there. So I tap out. Why waste my time with it? I mean, you know, guys like you, you got to watch sports and report about, you know, but for a fan, like for me, I'm not one of these guys that's going to take the team for four and 12 and watch every game. If you're not showing me something from the beginning, I'm out. Oh wow, so look, this is what Sebastian's telling you. Look, I've got very little bandwidth at this point.

I'm a very busy man. If you wanna get my attention, you can't do it with four and four. It better be six and two, it better be seven and one. Get my attention early. You bears have, you've crushed me for too many years. I will not believe until you get me to nine and one and 10 and one and I still won't trust you

No, even if even if we got to the playoffs and we had home field advantage still you got I gotta be at the Super Bowl or quarter up by 30 then I'm in okay Broken you until now that's what you saying. Like you cannot invest in this anymore. Okay. That makes sense. But give the man a 30 point lead, fourth quarter Superbowl and he's back. Okay. But, but so this would be comedy at the end of this game though,

but you're not even arguing time management. You're like, yeah, of course our coach screwed it up and now is fired. That's how we do it. I'm at the point now where I'm looking for another team. Uh, you know, I thought I would never say this, but you know, I'm a Chicago guy, you know, and all my teams are Chicago from the bulls to the black Hawks at a white sock.

Uh, so I don't know at this point, you know, I live in Los Angeles for 26 years. Do I adopt the Rams? Do I adopt the chargers? I don't know, but, uh, I mean, I'm just, I'm just tired of losing guys. And, uh, I don't know, but I mean, I'm just, I'm just tired of losing guys. And I don't know what to thought. He's quit. That's it.

He did it publicly right here on our show. You haven't heard that before. Howdy folks, it's Mike. And guess what? It's Miller time. The holiday season brings around lots of joy and also lots of family, lots of family gatherings

I got some phlegm in my mouth, yeah. It's okay, I think it's okay. Is gymnastics possibly corrupt? This is the Dunlavatar Show with the Stugats! When you are on tour at this point, I imagine you're at a point in your career now that all your dreams have come true and you've gotten the things you've wanted more than you ever imagined from being able to make people laugh. Is it what you expected?

Because I imagine that you're under it all the time and it would just be hard to be present in the things at home that you need to be when your dreams are coming true now you know listen i a i've been very blessed to have my dreams come true and and make a living at doing stand-up comedy uh... when i'm home i'm a family man first i'm not a you know i'm not one of these guys that's all about the career although i do work a lot but my family is very important to me in the time i I do spend with them are very, very precious.

So yeah, I, you know, it's difficult, you know, I kind of long for the days where I walked into a comedy club and, you know, no one really knew who I was and I had the challenge of kind of like winning them over. So now, you know, it's hard to maintain that level of excellence year in and year out because I think when people come to the show, they're wanting to see equal to or greater than comedy that they saw the last time. And I put a lot of pressure on myself to kind of deliver that. But it's, you know, writing new material is very difficult and you could write new material, but it might not be as good as what you said two years ago.

So I try to make it as high as I possibly can, as far as making people laugh. And I feel like this tour is some of the best material I've done and really having fun with it. Sometimes, I think last tour I was under the gun in regards to my health. I had sciatic pain on my right leg. I couldn't be as physical as I wanted to,

but now after doing Pilates and having that go away, I'm having a ball again on stage. You do an amazing job with your body, and the reason I was asking the question about the amount you're working is because of how difficult it is to keep the standard where you've kept it. When everybody's hungry in this game

and you've arrived at some of the things that you want, it would be real easy to get fat. But in your act, you can see that you're someone who insists on, no, these people paid to see me, I'm going to honor them by giving them my best work. I wonder how much joy gets sucked out of that because of how hard it is though, because it doesn't seem like that would be a lot of fun

at this age touring around when you don't have to be doing it except you care that way. Yeah, you know, I mean, this time around though, I think although it is a little taxing on the body, all these cities that I've been going to, I'm trying to enjoy the city a little bit more. I mean, sometimes you really don't have the time to really immerse yourself in the culture

of the city that you're in. But you know, we go to Virginia and I find out, oh, there's a USS Wisconsin that's docked there. Let's take a tour of the Navy ship, or you know, you go to Naples, Florida, you know, let's go visit an old people's home. So whatever the city has to, to enjoy, I've trying to definitely see some of the sites.

I took my kids to the Empire State Building. They never been there when we were in New York and, you know, Chicago going for pizza with my family. My family's been with me more on this tour than ever before, just because my kids are five and seven. And these moments are fleeting. You never know when you're going to do the Madison Square Garden again. You know, you know, I, I, I, listen, I'm, I'm one of these guys that lives in the negative. I'm not Mr. Positivity here where I'm like, oh yeah, it's going to be greater. The next time I go on tour, I look at it, listen, go

on. I hope to God people come back the next time so uh... uh... that since we're rather i brought my kids on stage because i don't know if that's ever gonna happen again and i brought my mother my father on stage uh... i'm happy that they're alive to even see what's happening so uh... we're all the kind of an enjoying in the success in the it's been fun well you're at the top of your game now but it wasn't always like that and I'm wondering When you were starting when you were working your way up and you had an opening act that was a little too funny

Before you got his self-confident and as big as you are did you ever think you know what I? Gotta have a new opening act who bombs a little bit No, I never I I never even thought that when I was just doing a show and there was someone ahead of me that was good. I never even thought like, oh, I wish he was bad. I've always loved going on stage after somebody who killed it.

It was like a challenge. I go, I gotta keep the room going. You know, so I've always brought guys on the road with me killed it. It was like a challenge. I go, I got to keep the room going, you know. So I've always brought guys on the road with me who I felt that were extremely funny. Set it, set me up. Great. Got the audience in the cadence of laughing people that kind of bring an opener who is, you know, sub par to me, it just feels like you're cheating the audience out of a great experience.

I want the show to be great from minute one to the last minute. So for two hours, I want people to come in there and say, wow, we saw a really, really great night of entertainment, whether it be myself or the two openers. So yeah, no, I don't fear that at all. I think if you're fearing people better than you or funnier than you before,

to me I look at it as a challenge. Weird question, Cody. Season two of Bookie premieres on Max December 12th. New episodes releasing weekly. First season is streaming right now. Billy, you had something before Cody went there. Yeah, how'd you cure sciatica? My grandmother had it, my wife complains about it.

I feel it sometimes, it just shoots down your leg into your butt, you got knee braces. What'd you do, how do we cure this? I tried everything from epidural shots to cupping to massage to yoga. I started doing this thing called Legris Pilates and within two months, I almost heard my body kind of readjust into place. It was almost like there's a bunch of cracking. I was like, oh wow, and then after that the sciatica

gone. And if you're living with sciatica, there's no pain. I can't even explain the pain because it's so sudden and so sharp and debilitating. Every morning I would get out of bed going, okay, is it gonna be gone by some type of miracle? And sure enough, walk into the bathroom, boom, it would just kind of collapse on the floor. So yeah, I would recommend Pilates to anybody dealing with any type of back pain.

I mean, the amount of core strength it takes to do Pilates is Unbelievable that my core to this day still is very weak But definitely strengthening it by doing a Pilates. So I I hope you guys get a sponsor after this show from LaGree Pilates along with DraftKings. Have you ever heard of mashing? Because we have this woman, Genesis, that comes here

and she just walks on top of people. It sounds weird. It's just kind of something that happens at the office. She lays down a mat and then she just starts walking on top of people with a walker as a form of massage. Then she wears those shoes that have the individual toe socks and then gets in there and starts mashing and just standing

and sometimes jumping on top of you. So I had a guy walk on me with a walker before, not the, actually walker. I'm telling you, I've been everywhere. This guy would come over with a walker and put the walker kind of on top of me. And this guy wasn't, you know, a small guy. We're talking like six, one, two, 10.

And he would take his big toe and drive it right into my scapula. And it was painstaking, but it didn't do really anything for the sciatica. He even went into the lower back and the legs and whatnot. So yeah, I mean, I've tried it all. The only thing that worked for me was the Pilates, and I'm standing by it,

but go try to walker if you think it's gonna work. The mashing, it felt like a thing to kinda help my back. Then I started wondering, is this just a kink of Genesis? Cause she just likes shoving her toes up your ass basically. She's just there, trying to dig into your back. And then I was always afraid that I was gonna poop myself because it's all of the body weight on top of you. So I stopped doing the mashing.

Also, just so you know, and I feel like cuz we bonded about this a little bit earlier Stickers all over her Walker It kind of threw me off a little I don't think that you and Sebastian have bonded at all. I think you're I think you're misreading the entirety of this situation I don't well I sciatica sounds terrible this man. This man's an American hero limping. He's making us laugh He's going city to city. He's in Naples. God. Love it He's in Naples because he wants to make old people laugh and and he's been making people laugh I wonder if he starts at 3 p.m. In the afternoon in Naples

I mean the well, yeah if everyone's going to dinner at 5 p.m Are you are your shows too late at night for people? Oh mad man. We do it. We do a noon Noon or on a Wednesday in Naples doesn't sound like the height of show business Season 2 of bookie premieres on max Why did that show appeal to you? And I was surprised to see you in a movie opposite Robert De Niro. And I'm thinking to myself that somewhere in there,

you must have the most amazing story about where it is you got awed because you couldn't believe you were acting opposite Robert De Niro. Well, I mean, listen, my father was teaching Robert De Niro how to be him because the movie is about my father and never in my life would I think my dad would be in Mobile, Alabama on a movie set

teaching Robert De Niro how to do a die job. So for me, watching my father interact with De Niro was something. And the reason the book he appealed to me, opposite of about my father interact with De Niro was something. And the reason the bookie appealed to me opposite about my father was about my father, I kind of played myself. I did a pilot with Tony Danza about eight years ago where he played my dad. I was just sick of playing myself. And when Chuck came to me with this idea of me playing this character, I was intrigued by it because I was like, you know, I'd like to play somebody

other than just me and challenge myself in that way. I also love that we're filming in Los Angeles. I get to see my family and sleep in my own bed and I get to see Los Angeles in a way that I've never seen it before. It's kind of a trip to be shooting at some of the places that I used to kind of go for a drink uh... we we shot this mexican restaurant and i remember going there in nineteen ninety eight when i first moved to l a

just uh... to hang out have a burrito and you know fast-forward twenty six years later doing a t v show scene at the at near the same booth where i just i had dinner when i when i first came there. So yeah, it's quick. You know, the way Chuck moves, the way he does the show, it's like we don't sit there and do a scene 12 times. It's like he knows what he wants. As soon as he sees what he likes,

we move on to the next scene. So it's not a lot of repetition. And the days are short. They're nine, 10 hour days. It's not like we're sitting there 16, 18 hours. So it moves, comedy has a pace, so I think Chuck, being Chuck kind of knows that pace

and it's been a joy to do the show. SebastianLive.com is where you go if you want to catch Sebastian on his It Ain't Right Tour. In last question as we get you out here, when you talk about being on the stage at MSG with your family, wherever it is that gratitude is most emotional for you, like where is it that you get moved to tears on, I can't believe this is my life right now, I've arrived at some of the things that I never thought possible. Yeah those moments where I get to bring my family up on stage or if I'm in the crowd

and, you know, my wife is taking pictures of my kids watch me on stage for me, that's definitely sentimental. You know, I started this career in 1998 with just me. There was no wife, there was no kids. It was just me in Los Angeles. I drove out there with my sister. I knew nobody. I started was no kids. It was just me in Los Angeles. I drove out there with my sister. I knew nobody.

I started working as a waiter at the Four Seasons Hotel and to see it get to this point and then to share it with the people that I love the most is really cool. So we could be in Madison Square Garden. We could be in Kansas City or Arizona, wherever it might be. If my family is sharing these moments with me, those are kind of the best moments for me,

whether it be stand-up comedy, having them visit the set of a movie or what have you. So yeah, it's been really, really cool and I'm having a blast. You were with us in Vegas at our show at the Circa. It was a live show. I noticed none of your family was there in Vegas with you. Not as important.

No, they didn't. I try to do like kind of age appropriate cities for my kids and not much to do in Las Vegas for a five year old. Sebastian, nice seeing you. Good catching up with you again. Thank you for the time, sir. Absolutely, thanks for sharing your audience with me and you guys have a great Christmas and happy new year.

Nice seeing you again, sir. Take care. I didn't get to supermarket bar with him because I'm still rocked by this. I did not know that there were bars in supermarkets before today. It looked to me like a Starbucks, which you see in Target from time to time,

and they have one, I guess they have some in Publix. It's just a Starbucks employee. That serves beer, though. But it's just a Starbucks employee. There's a sign that says draft beer. The draft beer is the thing that's- Right, but there are Starbucks that serve draft beer. That's all I'm saying.

No, there's not. Yes, there is. I don't think that's the fact at all. Yes, there is. That's not accurate. Look it up. You look it up. You look it up.

I already know the answer. All right, you prove it, Todd. I know the answer. Again, Billy was distracted earlier. I'm still confused by Greg Cody, who has on his podcast, which we have not promoted, Stu Gotz as a guest because they have a book signing.

We need to celebrate this as a show. Lucy, stop yawning. It's a big week. I wasn't yawning, I was just stretching. It's a big week for Greg Cody and Stu Gotz. I and we, the audience, should be proud that they are keeping the written word alive with fanfare. They're going to a church

they're having that it they're too big for book stores book stores are collapsing but still got and cody arising atop the written word to have something in coral gables or coconut grove where is this because it's too big for books and books but what city is thursday's extravaganza greg cody it's too big for books and books, but what city is Thursday's? Extravaganza Greg Cody it's this Thursday December 5th 7 to 9 p.m. At the Coral Gables Congregational Church

3010 DeSoto Boulevard Coral Gables, which is a beautiful suburb of Miami for those of you who don't live down here Join us Seven locations in Miami-Dade Brow, and Palm Beach counties are among the two dozen stores that will have craft beer, wine, and small plates available for purchase starting Wednesday. Yeah! Whoa! Wait, starting Wednesday?

Yeah, they've already started. This was written August 18, 2015. Oh, then never mind. Oh, congrats. They may have closed early. Wait a minute! That's a W. That was my update.

They did this in 2015, but by 2018 scrapped the plans of limited alcohol sales. So they tried this in 2015 and have since punted on it. So Stugats was not right. That's the last time I was there. I mean. That's not on him then. He was almost right at one time.

Mm-hmm. Well, he was for a short time. Can I ask you guys a question, just a quick aside? Sure, Billy. I never quit. I feel like things went well with Sebastian. I don't know if you guys agree with me or not. You were a disaster. I don't know why Genesis came up.

I don't know what you were doing. Billy's yes and joke was fantastic. That's one of the best jokes I've ever heard. That was pretty good. So here's what I'm thinking. I wanna send Sebastian stickers, but I feel like we have a very short window to get him the stickers in which he'll remember

why he's getting stickers. So I'd like to challenge the people of Estero, Florida, who have the ability to see him over the next couple days, and then maybe even the people of Tampa, Florida and Omaha, Nebraska. I feel like we have a week here. If you go to Sebastian's show, take him stickers. If you come in contact, the meet and greet,

shake his hand, take a picture, hand him a sticker or two, say, Sebastian, this is for your laptop, this is from Billy. Yes. I'm running out of show, Billy, and you brought up what Genesis does to your hamstring and glutes,

and she does get in there. Handbutt hole, don't forget that. Well, how's your uncle? I don't know why you brought that up with Sebastian. I think it was an accident, I think. Which part? You can see how that would happen I mean look at this video I am running out of show I see four toes and again

I still don't understand why it is that you said to Greg Cody judge Judy And he said yeah, and you guys connected there two segments ago, please you don't get it Please let me get to the rest of the show because greg cody has something to promote not just his podcast he'd he joins us here every week it's an honor to have a in uh... illegitimate writing south florida legend every week with us and this week at him and still got are celebrating on thursday something that deserves our local audience who has an appreciation for Dave Barry,

for Carl Hyacin, for all the things in this town. I want this to be a celebration of Stugats and Cody on Thursday night because they're legitimate authors. They're authors with a buying public. That's something that not a lot of people get and we got it right here this week at a church. We should all be thanking God at that church.

If I remember correctly, you did bring this up approximately 90 seconds ago. I feel like we did already touch on this and I was really looking forward to the sticker conversation because I'm into scrapbooking so whatever stickers you don't give to Sebastian, please send to me so I can use for my scrapbook. I'm abundantly clear on where this signing is. Mm-hmm. When it is, where it is, all that we got. I was in that area over the weekend.

Which Jesus. I appreciate Dan trying to be a good partner here and trying to be a good friend and promoting this for me and Greg. But it's not just that, but it's Greg Cody has his podcast, which is why he joins us every week, to promote that podcast.
