In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here?

Quervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads, like... Quervo. I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same.

land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quirvo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.com.

Please drink responsibly. Quervo. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stucats podcast. Let me ask you something. When is the summer over? When the kids start having their photos posted on IG, because they are going back, to school. There you go. I agree. I think summer is over when kids go back to school. Greg, do kids go to school in the summertime? They do not. I can tell you officially when summer

starts and ends. Summer is June 20th through September 22nd. So we are officially in summer. That did not go the way that you thought it was going to go. Wow. What a twist. It's summertime. Were you doing the math? in your head, whether we were still in summer. I mean, I'm just... What a swerve. I'm trying to be fair here. I'm trying to be fair.

All right, so you're not wearing a wig somehow, though. This is the most embarrassing fit you've had on your head. Why? What's wrong with this? There's a good-looking hat right here. I never understood it. It's the flex-fit. The backwards flex-fit is insane. I don't know how you do it.

Flex, you mean the... The stretchy flex-fit hats. Well, you can't have the backwards hat with the... The snapback? That's a good look. The snapback, that is the look. Then you got the deal sticking out. Yeah.

Well, you don't have the deal. You don't have the deal. Because, you know, I'm lacking in that department these days. Yeah, but if you're a full-headed bald dude like you are, that works too. Everyone, it's implied. No, you want some hair, though. I'm with Zaz on this. You do want some hair to pull off the backwards snapback.

It looks best with hair. That forehead in between, it's not a great. Trust me, as the entratas, I have a lot of forehead on the, I don't do the backwards snapback. Oh, I think having the deal, having the hair sticking out. I think that's a weird look. Well, plus, you have the hat low on your forehead. Yeah, that's right. Like, it's just over the eyebrows.

That's my look. No. The issue is it's cop behavior. Yeah. You look like an undercutter cop. Like, if you're driving next to me, I'm like trying to make sure that I'm on the up and up, make sure I don't look at this guy. I'm looking like a gnarc? Yeah, so you look like this is a sting operation to find ticket scalpers. Right. And you're holding two fingers in the air.

You should be walking through a high school hallway right now pretending to be the hip senior. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, I'm not going to be bullied into changing my look. No, this is your look. This is my look. We're just telling you, though.

All right. Of course, we're showing Flentes now with his backwards snapback, yeah. Hey, he's got, and he's got the deal. I don't know. He's got a good lid. But, like, even with Chris, though, you're wearing the fitted hat.

You can throw the fitted hat around that we know, okay, fitted hat. That's a grandfathered look. Chris Cody and Fred Durst, they can do that. Yeah, I like how Chris looks. Like, he just turned it around. This was my look at the beginning. I like that look.

I switched the hat around probably like six years ago. Look at that. That's nostalgic for me right there. That's like Griffey Jr. taking BP right there. Yeah, me too. I look like Griffey Jr. No, you do not.

You should do a goatee like Ken Griffey Jr. You should save the sides coming tomorrow with a goatee, maybe dye it black. Then you'd be not looking like a cop. Yeah, definitely not looking like a cop that way. Maybe some sunglasses. Oakley's. They have to be Oakley's wraps. I dare you to turn your hat around right now because I've never seen you with a hat with a brim for.

Oh, okay. Well, I'll do that. Hang on a second. Hang on. That's no big deal. This might look better here. Let's see. Yeah.

How you load it? You still look like a cop. Yeah. Yeah, I think I look more like a cop now. That's just his face. I look like a crooked cop. Yeah. But we like those.

Yeah, we, they're down here in this town. They'll let us go. Come on. All right. I'm going back to my look. Okay, patent pending. They both look bad. All right.

Well, summer's over. Hope everyone enjoyed. That was a hell of a run, Zats. Thank you. It's a good run. Thank you. Thank you very much. I really ate into our wig budget.

Those were wigs? Can I tell you, yesterday I got a ton of messages on social media, Instagram, Twitter, with people thanking me, thanking us, thinking us as a group, thanking us for the PSA of turning off the location services, this new feature on Instagram. Now, Greg, I don't, Greg, I'll just ask you. You got the gram? I'm on Instagram, but not actively. Okay, so you're probably okay. Others do that for me.

But Tony, see, Tony wasn't here yesterday. I have no idea what's going on, boys. Okay, well, we're going to help you out now, man. I got a ton of messages from people yesterday. Zaslo, thank you so much for telling me about this. I'm turning the location off right now. On your Instagram, they instituted a new feature. I think it was like six or seven days ago.

where you can click on a map on the direct messages and on the map it shows like go to your direct messages on Twitter and one of the features up top will be a map and you click on the map and it'll show you where everyone of your friends is located in the moment including maybe yourself and not just like what city you're in but it'll take you to the direct address like to your home it's essentially like Google Maps and you could see where the person is who the hell needs that, right? You don't want that. I don't like that. Of course you don't like that.

Invasion. Yeah, you don't like that. So everyone in this room was shook, yes, especially Jeremy. He was... I was really upset. He was really shook. And people were learning. Everyone in the room, look, Greg, everyone is double checking right now. I'm checking to make sure that they don't have this on. You checking, which, like, that's funny. What am I looking for? Exactly. A map logo? What am I looking for? Yeah, just go to Google and put Greg's... location and turn it off. As I will say, I haven't updated the app, though, the Instagram app in the last week or so.

Oh, so you may, you're okay. I don't have it. I don't see the map. I'm looking through, like, my DMs with Lewis, and I don't see anything. Okay. So I may be off the hook, but the thing is, if I update it, then all of a sudden, then it shows up. Well, at least you know now. You know, you got the heads up.

That's a hot tip right there, all right? You got the hot tip to turn that off. So I got a ton of messages from people yesterday who were so grateful that we put this PSA out there. Greg, you don't want people to be on, like, Instagram and they're friends with Greg Cody on Instagram, and then they see where you live? I don't want my relatives and friends to know where I live. There you go. But I've said before on this air, there's no privacy anymore.

Everybody's looking at all times. Everybody can find out where you are. You know, they're tracking your car. I mean, it's like Big Brother is watching. That was a fortuitous novel generations ago, and it turned out to be true. Everybody's watching us. So it was a little bit scary yesterday, but I feel like we helped people out that. If you don't want to be found, I don't want you to be found.

Right. That's what the bottom line is. Jeremy, you have a gift for Greg Cody today? I do. We had a fun conversation on the show the other day where Greg revealed that his first date was to Pizza Hut. And he sat on the same side of the booth as his now wife, Raleen. Was that a planned move or was it like when you were walking up to the booth and she sits down first, of course, because you're a gentleman. And you're like, you know what?

I'm just going right in. Like, was it a planned move or it was just on the spot? It was me trying to be romantic, trying to do the right thing. I barely knew her at this time. So you're on the outside, correct? She sits down and you pin her in. So I'm trying to think in a split second. You'll get up in that microphone.

I'm trying to think in a split second. What would she want? Like, what should I do? Because I was flammothed. So when you were thinking, what would she want? Your thought was me right next to her. Right. Okay.

Yeah. And so that we couldn't look at each other and talk. We had to go like this. talk to each other, which, and since then, she was polite on that date. I don't think she mentioned anything. Yeah, she makes fun of him to this day. Oh, after the fact. Anytime she sees, like, another couple doing it, she's like, your dad did that on the first date with like a weird... I know. I mean, we learned to laugh about it, but at the time, it was pretty awkward. And we'll ultimately, Greg. Never done that again. Never. Greg, it was a huge story. It impacted me. I was

really moved by this first date. And so I was scrolling Twitter. One of my favorite accounts is shirts that go hard. And there was this little beauty that I just felt I had to get for you. So, Greg, with the Pizza Hut logo, it says, biggest slut at the hut. Wow. And this is, this is just for you. I'm going to go ahead and walk into the studio if you want to throw it on. Look at that. This is a gift from me to you. For Greg. Cody. Not for, this is for you. You're not calling Chris's mother a slut. No, I'm calling Greg a slut. Wait a minute. Greg, you ignorant slut. Biggest slut at the hut. Like Cody. I'm going to bring this.

into you. This is for you. Your size and everything. I reached out to Christopher. Come bring that in here. Come on. Let's go. What an honor. Look at that. A big shirt. It's got the Pizza Hut logo. Could be a little copyright infringement there. I'm not sure. Yeah, don't worry about that. Don't worry about it.

Copyright. No. There you're good. You own it. You can use that now. That's yours. That's yours. Good move. Good value there. Look at this. Thank you. Thank you. Look at that. Greg, you got to put it on like the guys at the heat games

that put the jersey on over the shirt. You have to put it on over that shirt. So you have the collars, yeah. Over the headphones, too. So you have the collar coming out of the shirt. When's the last time you're called a slut, Greg? Yeah. I don't know that I ever have been.

Really? Yeah. Good for you. Isn't that a word applied to women? What was your... Whoa. I'm just saying. What was your sluttiest year?

All right, come on. Men can be slutts too. What was your sluttiest year? When I dumped my long-time girlfriend to pick up your mother. Oh. Hey. What is a long time? I've been dating for several years.

And you dumped her specifically because you wanted to... Yeah, I was smitten. How about that? And my future wife also dumped her boyfriend of longstanding. So you both cheated. You can't hear it right now. Yeah, was this before or after the Pizza Hut situation? I don't think, I don't think Greg can hear you.

Well, how to be after, was this, this was before or after the romance at Pizza Hut? Before, before, okay. Wait a minute. So you went on a date with Mom before, wait, let me wait till I put sense. That looks damn good on you, Greg. With Mom before you officially broke up with your ex? Is that what I'm hearing? No, I think we'd broken up first.

Okay. Yeah. So there was no, like, who cheated more? You were mom. When you were together. We were cheating with each other, so it's like a tie. That's what I mean, so you both were cheating. Nice.

The two biggest sluts at the hut. No, it was controversy at the time. Wow. Did you almost get into a physical altercation with her ex? No, but we actually became awkward friends. I know, didn't he, like, visit us once and, like, slept at our house? Yeah, that was weird. I remember thinking that was weird.

At, like, 18, my mom, like, yeah, my ex-boyfriend's going to be staying with us for a couple days. And right after the breakup, we were both tennis players at the time, and we played tennis. For mom? It was a real challenger's moment. No, the guy and me. No, for mom. Like, you played tennis? No, no.

Was it doubles, singles? It was singles, and I had already won your mother. What surface? It was a hard surface at FAU. Of course it was. And it was, but he hit a hard shot that hit me right in the private region. and for years like I was worried that

it was an issue down there because, well... For years? What made you think that, Greg? What made you think that? For years? Were things working all right? Everything was coming out normal?

Was this intentional? There was a time when... Yeah, did the ball hit you on a bounce or straight? It hit me straight. Also, maybe did it on purpose? I'm not alleging that, but I am implying it. Pre-Christopher? Post-Christopher.

So it would be pre. Did it hit the twig or the berries? It hit the berries. That's why he's worried. That's why he was worried. 10 years. For a couple of years after that, one Barry was noticeably bigger than the other. Really? Which concerned me,

but I had it looked into and it was okay. Barry Bonds? Did you everything good? Yeah, Barry Bonds. Well done. Yes. So everything's good. Nice shirt, though. Thank you so much, Jeremy. Jeremy is so thoughtful. What a wonderful person. He gave you a shirt that's calling him a slut. I know, but still. It's to celebrate

the moment. It's fun. I'm still confused about this dynamic in this relationship. So there's just a sleepover one day? Yeah. Why did why did he visit us? Um, because your mother has continued... An open relationship? Yeah, whereas I and my girlfriend have not continued. I've Googled her occasionally.

Like, I know... Is she still with us? She is still with us. Is that what you do? You Google X is just to make sure you're doing better? No, not to make... Like, where is she living? What she's doing?

She's got two grown daughters. Check her Instagram now, yeah. Yeah, so you do that kind of thing. She got a podcast? No. She's the only one in America who doesn't. Are you doing better than her? I don't know how to define better.

Yes, you do. Well, you have a podcast she doesn't, so. Well, she worked at a prominent Southern University, had a good job. I don't know whether she's still working or retired. That's how old I am. You should get her as a guest on the Greg Cody show. Oh, yeah. That would be weird.

No, we should, actually. We haven't spoken. Or mom's ex. Forty years. Mom's still close with her ex, so we could have him on. Well, he would be on. Yeah. That doesn't bother you.

On what? No. No, it doesn't bother me in the least. He's a nice guy. How many green ice shade awards do she have? I don't know that she's won one. But as Lepitard casually said, I forget whether I won one or not.

Did I win one or two? And it turns out he won two to one up me. That's okay. No resentment. No, it's all good. Biggest slut at the hut. Why did they make shirts like this? What does this even mean?

I don't know. Is people buy it? I don't think it's very deep. You know what it means. There's not, you know what it's saying? There's no nuance. It is a saying? It is?

Yeah, all the kids are saying it these days. Biggest slut at the hut? Yeah. Wow. It's on TikTok. Pop culture lexicon fixture. Wow. See, I didn't know that.

We're messing. I've never heard the phrase until I saw it there, and I find it contextually supplementary. But that's yours now. Now you have to be careful how often you use it because, I don't know if you heard. Maybe it was when you were taking your headphones off. Billy owns the rights. Yeah. But it's okay.

I granted it to you. Yeah, you're good. Don't worry. Sure. I'll have you sign a disclaimer after the show. You should take a selfie and send it to Erlene. Say, look what I got. I should, actually. Remember the days? I am going to do that. Next break,

I'll send it to her. If she gets back to me, it'll be a laugh. Because she'll probably know what this means. I think she'll get it, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I hope so. Wait, what does it mean? What happened at the hut? I think it will just reel her mind back to that day and our first date

and how awkward it was. What happened after that day? Was it like a movie after? A walker. Let's talk baseball terms. What base are we there? Well, what year are we here? We've got to understand the times. What year are we here? I would say we had just broken up with our partners a couple of weeks earlier.

Was it one of those where it's like, hey, I broke up with my girlfriend. Hey, I broke up with my boyfriend. I don't remember the chronology of that particular thing, but I do remember there was a campus bar called a Rastkeller. Oh, yeah. We all called it the Ratt. Ah, the Ratt. And our first real date, just one of the one. one was at the Rastkeller, but the Pizza Hut was the first one where we were, like,

off campus and more of a couple-type date. What did you just do with your fingers there? You know, more of a couple-type one. Oh, okay, so some light fingering. Nice. No, not yet. No? No. You can tell us. I mean, Chris, you want to vomit.

We're not talking about at Pizza Hut. We're talking about after. How many dates? How many dates until that happened? Isn't it so great where, so you were, you were, you were, you were, you were, you're, you're, you're, you're, you know, scally wag. So I guess they don't just give out that shirt. He's a coxman. So you were how old at that time? Like, you're in college.

So how old are you? 19, 20? I would say 19 or 20. Okay, 19 or 20 years old. You're on a first date. You want to impress the girl. You took her to Pizza Hut, which I think is a great move. But still...

At the time, it was a better move. But still, it's Pizza Hut. It's so funny when you go back and you think about the play. Like, I remember where I used to take girls on a date when I was in college. Like restaurants that you thought were like, ooh, this is a nice place. The Olive Garden. Olive Garden was a great spot to take a... Big one.

Let's go to a nice Italian restaurant, you know, on a date. Like, I took a girl one time in Gainesville. Went to a nice steakhouse. You want to know which steakhouse that was? Sizzler? Outback. Yeah. Went to a really nice steakhouse.

Blumen onion. No rules, just right. Outback. Wow. She was impressed that, but. Have you had the Motsis at Outback, by the way? No way. Yeah, dude, the fried boomerangs.

Really good. Makes it tough to have a cheese pool, you know, because it's unconventional. It's V-shaped. It's like a boomerang. Yeah, that's weird. Do they still have the blooming onion? That's their go-to. Is it still?

I mean, it was 20 years ago. I don't know. The fried boomerangs? Come on. The batter that they use? Same batter as a blooming onion. So is the rat scala like a chain? Because that's like a thing at UM too, the rat.

Oh, yeah. I thought you were talking about UM actually. Oh, wow. No. FAU had one as well. FIU had a rat Skeller too. I don't know if they still do, but they did when I was. Yeah, but Chili's two.

Going to online classes there. The one at FAU was like a vague, as you might guess. gather from the name was like a vaguely German type feel you know. Yeah. Why are you dancing when you say that? No, I went to... It was vaguely. The last time I went to the Radskeller

there's a brand new Ratskeller at UM, but I went to like the old one. It was for the SummerSlam that Sean Michaels won the World Heavyweight title for. You want to talk about a pop. You remember that right, Greg? That was great. I think Ray Mysterio also debuted and had banger against Kurt Angle. Yeah, we all remember that one. Yeah.

Look, every football game is a grind, and if you're like Dan and the crew, you know there's no such thing as one size fits all. Your sleep should be just as custom as coach's game plan.

Look at this face while I tell this to you. Okay, because I don't want there to be any kind of confusion. You look to me right in the eye. Panthers are going to take that ass, man. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. So I want to get into a little bit of Dolphins here with you guys. Is Darren Waller ever going to play for the team? Probably not.

Like, it's starting to feel to me. So Mike McDaniels being asked, you know, every few days now about Darren Waller, who is not participating in a single practice yet. Remember, it kind of came out of nowhere where they need a tight end. I mean, they traded away Jono Smith, which I think was the right move. But they needed a tight end, and they went and they brought it. Darren Waller. He's been retired for two years. He was really good at one point, but he's been retired for a couple years. And Mike McDaniel yesterday says Darren Waller is not ready to practice

right now. He doesn't want him jumping into a joint practice because they're doing the joint practices right now with the Detroit Lions. Doesn't want him jumping into a joint practice out of retirement. Right. Which I guess makes sense, but I don't know, the closer we get to actual games. He's going to jump into a real NFL game out of retirement. When they signed Darren Waller, I immediately said in Levitard sitting where you are raving about him, as I recall, and I'm like, wow, you know, he's older, he's been retired. He's got some, you know, distant but still off-field baggage in his past. They should have gone after Noah Fant, who is five years younger, ended up signing with Cincinnati. Like, Darren

Waller. That would have been, that would have got us excited. Noah Fon. I mean, he's not bad, though. But more than Darren Waller. But more than Darren Waller. Well, I think it's just about having someone who could play the position. Or could play at all. I mean, you know, the old saying the best ability is availability, when you sign a guy who hasn't played in two years

and he's immediately hurt, well, no, he's not hurt. It's just he's not ready. Okay. You know? He said two years to get ready. What are you doing? Not playing football. Not getting ready. He was retired. Okay. Yeah. But now he's back. Making music. You figure that he's working out on his own. He's trying to get his body up to conditioning, right? You're out of

football for two years. Your cardiovascular is not going to be the same thing. So I get the point of holding him out of joint practices to see under your roof to see how he's going to fight and figure out how to be an NFL tight end again. So I'm not super worried. Did he have like any intention of playing football? Like it seems like they just knocked it. By the way, we just traded for you like, you're back. It came out of nowhere. But like what is the point of this if this is going to be such a to-do and like such an effort just to get him on the field and you have no idea if he's going to be good or not. And by the way, may I say, Jonu Smith, who they traded, had a great season, the former

FIU Panthers. It was a career season for him. He had a great season last year. In fact, I may have been the only one, but I actually voted for him as the team's offensive MVP. Wow. You know, so that was a big deal. And when they traded him, that left a big void that they absolutely have not filled.

Well, that was a money thing, though. They didn't want to pay him. It wasn't because they were unhappy. They just didn't want to pay him. him what he wanted. Exactly, but sometimes you've got to balance what you really need the most. Learn, got to want to learn. Exactly. I actually think that's the

biggest thing this season is last year defenses were like, you're not going deep on us. And because of that, Jono Smith ate all season, because teams were just like, go ahead, take it. I want to see Mike McDaniel adjust this year. Can he get Waddle and Tyreek back to that with these, like, adjust

to the adjustment? Right. Because that, like, if our tight end is having another good season this year, that's probably not a great sign for the Dolphins. It just felt like he's been out-schemed offensively where he's like, all right, we're going to do deep ins. Nobody's going to see it coming. And then remember that game where the Chargers just dropped back their linebackers?

And then all of a sudden it was like, oh, Tyreek can't get open. Like what's going on here? Waddle's kind of always hurt every game going in and out. And now you look at Tyreek Hill off the field issues. Now you look at kind of his decline. He's what, 31 years old. Now he's had a lot of miles on him. Is he going to play to the level that he's been playing the last two, three, four years in the system?

Tua can't go deep because the offensive line doesn't give him of time? Like, where's the scheme win here? I'm, if I'm McDaniel, if I'm that offense, I'm throwing quick slants to Waddle in space and allowing him to use his speed. I'm pitching the ball out to A-chan rather than running them up the middle as if he's 230 pounds. There are ways to utilize somebody's speed by giving it to them in space, which they haven't done a lot in the past year. I hate doing the whole, you know, jumping off what Tony was just saying about being out scheme. I hate doing the whole, oh, he didn't make adjustments, you know, the coach,

McDaniel's got to make adjustments. He's clearly a defense every, they figured out the dolphins. He hasn't, we don't know what's going on in the half, like half time, adjusts. We don't, maybe they gave adjustments. And like, the players weren't carrying it out properly. Like, we don't, we don't know what adjustments are being made or not being made, but I will say, it's had an entire all season now to figure out why defenses were weak in and week out able to stop what was once an incredible Dolphins offense. Like, we better get to this season after an entire offseason of him being able to look at what went wrong last year

and better not be seeing that again. I mean, two years ago, Mike McDaniel is the wonderkind of the league. They have the most exciting offense in the NFL. They just scored 70 points on Denver. They're the talk of the league. Now he's a yammer. Two years later, he's under pressure. He's under pressure.

He's under pressure. He's under pressure. He's under pressure. Which we called. at the time Chris Cody called it I was like I love this now this won't be cute

and I'll tell you it's not it's not every answer I'm like what did he just say yeah well the thing with him too though like every time you bring in someone new they now need to learn this offensive scheme and then they're trying to catch up and they're not on the same page

well Tyree kills going into his fourth year with the Dolphins in the first day of camp he said I'm finally starting to understand the offense that's insane like that there's been so many crazy quotes at Dolphins training camp this off season you're like this does not feel like this season is going to go well.

It does. Tua just found his voice. It's like he's been a captain for like three years. It's a $280 million deal. Just now he's fighting. Like just now him and Tyreek are on the same page. Like what's going on here? Well, I don't know that they're on the same page.

I mean, well, I have evidence that suggested they were on the same page when Tyreek held one of the great seasons of all time for this franchise. I'm going to come out and say this. Theorize it might not be super bright. Tyree Kill. Just there's enough. You may dub it circumstantial, but I think it's mounting. You're going to take the under? Yeah.

On intelligence? Yeah. I'm going under. Okay. It's just the Darren Waller thing is reminding me, it feels like the Dolphins have done this before, where they go out and they get the guy and they give him money, and he does literally, like they got taken for a ride.

I hear you, and usually that is assigned to a player that has expectation. This guy hasn't played football in a while. And I think Greg hit Dan with a hard dose of reality when people got excited about seeing Darren Wallers. A former all pro had had a tremendous couple of seasons at the tight end position, but he's quick to remind us. This guy, last time we saw him in a football uniform, he wasn't always available and he wasn't certainly effective. And it's been a couple of years since then. And on social media, it's kind of a punchline because of the rap career? Why attach any sort of expectation to this guy? If he makes a team, it'd be against the

odds. The Dolphins did the same thing a couple of years ago with O'Dell Beckham. Last year. Was it just last year? It was that forgettable. Yeah, it was. But yet, it's the same story. You're trying to resurrect and exhume the ashes of a career. That's what it reminds me of. Yeah. It reminds me of Beckham who totally took them for a rot. Like, they paid him, I don't know, it's at least $10 million, they paid him and he had nine catches last year. Right. But again, he was playing football the year prior. He was in the

Super Bowl and got hurt the year prior. So it's like he actually was playing. Do you think, Darren, you figure Chris Greer, Mike McDaniel, all these guys in the front office called Darren and said, hey, we're thinking of making something happen here. Are you ready to go? It's not one of the kid on his couch where he's

like pointing at himself like, wait, me? I love that me. You guys are picking me up? I haven't played football. I don't know. I'm rapid. What do you something to do. It's a cross-your-fingers signing. You know, it's just hoping upon hope that somebody who used to, for a couple of years, pretty good. Five years later, still good? Probably not. Don Lebatard. Quiet man. Yes. You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife, despite that gratuitous line in, back in my day. Stugats.

I wish you were here, my wife. I really miss her. No, I don't. That's the thing about being married. You know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss. my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her. I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds. You know, what am I? Hello. All right. All right. We'll see you. All right. And then, you know, I'm going to see her in two days. I was jumping, Charlie. Good. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugat. So, did I get got to? So, O'Dell Beckham was in, I wouldn't call it a Twitter beef,

but he got a little riled up on Twitter yesterday, Odell Beckham Jr. Because Adam Shepter tweeted out, although, no, wait, hold on a second. That's Adam Schelfer, all right? Adam Schofer. Oh, wow, this got me. That's right. Adam Schelfer tweeted out. after 10 seasons in the NFL, O'Dell Beckham, Jr. has decided to retire.

Beckham Jr. played for the Giants, Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins, he announced Tuesday. And attached to Adam Shelfer's tweet is a picture of, I assume it's O'Dell Beckham, his backs to us. It's a sweet picture of O'Dell Beckham with, I also assume it's his son. And they're sitting on the parking lot outside MetLife Stadium. Which, can I tell you something? I was at MetLife Stadium last week, and that place is a dump. But anyway, you got Adam Schelfer, who tweets that out, and then O'Dell Beckham responds directly to the Adams Shelfer account.

And he responds to it, no, seriously, please stop reading everything on the internet and stop texting me happy retirement before you piss me off. That will get no response. I promise you the day I'm done, I will let you know. Again, if you text me happy retirement, I'm just going to have to block you. This is a smart job by whoever he runs that account because they put an adorable picture of him and what looks like his son looking at the state. So like that got all my attention. I was like, I never even like got to like, oh, let me make sure because it seems so harmless.

It got me 100%. I didn't retweet it, but I saw it and thought he was retired. The reason that Ruse worked is that, and I don't know if it did, but the reason it worked. Well, no, it did because Adam Schelfer's tweet was engaged with 4.4 million. in times. Wow. Okay. So the reason it worked is that O'Dell Beckham Jr.

is the perfect example if you're playing the game retired or not retired. You know, he's like the timing you would expect him to retire about now. Like he's trying to get a job this offseason. He can't. I'm going to retire. And there are certain players around the league who are in that category. Ooh, you want to like maybe Darren Waller? Darren Waller would have been one.

Should the Greg Cody show get out there with a fake report? Retired or not? retired. Should we put out Greg Cody has retired in a picture of me and you looking at the Kasea Center? That would be funny with our back to the camera recreate that. The two of you outside high line. On an empty parking lot.

Draft on Monday, Chris. Lock in. You guys got to get Manu again? Don't ask. Manu is back. Oh, my Lord. Manu is back. You guys don't get how it works. You don't understand. Neither do we. You guys don't know Pilota. I mean, if from your lips.

How old is Manu? Is he like 45? That's the prime. Fuentes, yes. That's a prime for an elite back-card playing. Really? I think you got to hire Joey. Like, bring back Joey.

Bring back Joe. My friend? No, the famous highlight, Joey. So do you get one keeper and you kept Manu again? We have more than one keeper. We brought back Ginyaki, who was great for us, number 69 in the programs, number one in your hearts. We just brought back two players. We had the top pick because we were the worst team.

Manu would have been the number one. I think a big problem is players or ownership? Players. Yeah, players, definitely the players. But ownership did take some accountability. But you also like draft essentially the same team except like two people every season and you're surprised that you get the same result every year.

There are five teams in the league. And there's 26 guys in the league. Like, what do you want for us? Yeah, there are guys on our team that we wanted to bring back that are good, but we had to change something up. We've made plenty of tough decisions. Yeah, it's hard. Oh, I'd like to hear one of these. I mean, we've let, we've, Carbio, we had to let go a couple seasons.

So how does that go? This season, Bueno, who we've had? He was like our next captain in waiting. When you let him go, like, how does that go down? Tell him no, Bueno. I owe him a conversation. We send in the email of who we're keeping, and he's not on it. No, but I do hope. Definitely not a coward's way of doing that.

No, I've done the, I've had heart-breaking conversations. I've had to pull Carbio aside through tears. I learned my lesson, like, year one when at the draft, I like dapped up some guy I was like we're gonna get you tonight and then we didn't and he didn't make the league Why did you do that?

Well just because I thought we were looking at him as our late round pick and it just didn't work out Billy he wants them to like him Right But I don't even like you had the heartbreak It was more just like

I hit him with like we're hoping for you tonight But what it's not like he's moving He just puts on instead of a What is the team called? Now he's a cyclones Instead of a cyclone jersey He puts on a wall warrior He lives in the same house

It's the same thing He didn't make the league. He didn't make the league. He was one of a floating player that, like, replaced his injured guys. Taxi squad guy. So you were fighting to keep someone that isn't even good enough to make the league? No, I told a guy. I was hopeful we would take him in the late round and we ended up getting someone better.

No, I was talking about Carbolo. Oh, my bad. Oh, no, Carbio is now medically retired. What a great career for Carbola. Electric on that. Medically or not? Cyclone legend. He's young.

Yeah, I know. And you saw how he played the game. You never took a rep off. He was tough. Okay. As an owner of a team, do you feel like sometimes you, you let emotion play too big of a role in your decision-making? Yes.

Manu's been on the team for 17 years. Manu's good. You had a championship one time eight seasons ago. There are two seasons in a season. Best back quarter in the world. He's the Babe Ruth of that league. Your team, by the way, has gone downhill ever since I last appeared at a game and fainted. Yeah, when you collapsed.

I collapsed. I thought you were dead. That's not true. We did make a final after that. Did you? Yeah, we had a second place finish in there. The league's still recycling borderline former U.M. Hurricanes? There are some, well, they weren't borderline former U.M. Hurricanes.

It's a weird sentence. They were former. We're talking about Jeddin. And Tennessee, don't forget him. Rock won a national championship with Miami Hurricanes baseball. What position did Rock play? He was a pitcher. Well, baseball.

That makes more sense. I was like picturing football. I'm like, that guy's lumbering. Can I ask a rude question that we're all thinking? You guys like headed into the draft now next week, right? and you put in your keepers, Manu's a keeper again for you guys. And that was a great draft pick. Okay, but, like, and you've seen the results and the bit of the fall off over the past couple seasons.

Do you guys ever go and say, listen, Manu, we love you, we got to work on your training regimen here. Like, we got to talk, some conditioning, we got to work into this. Says, he's a bit of a bigger guy. We're far off from, think of like a Mo Von type. No, that's disrespectful. Well, Mo Vaugh won an MVP. Disrespectful to who? Much like Manu did.

It's got Dan vibes. Yeah, a little girthy. Imagine Dan playing highlight. Back court, you don't need as much mobility in the backboard. Incredible posture, though. I haven't seen a spine this straight in quite some good posture. Greatest hands in Pilota history. That's often the criticism for Manu, but he is certifiably the best backcourt player in the world.

He's not the problem. If someone else had the number one pick and we didn't freeze Manu, guess who the number one pick would be? Manu. So we're keeping Manu. He is a cyclone lifer. He is not the issue at all. I know by this picture, you may be formulating some opinions. That guy is the heart and soul of the cyclone franchise.

Now it says WP 20%. I imagine that's some kind of stat. I think that's winning percentage. That seems rough. That seems awful. You mean, you guys don't know Polo-Tian. You guys don't know how difficult it is to go against Go-Cherry. You just don't.

And this guy performs very well. well against Go Cherry. I mean, are you afraid of a time where you're going to show up to one of the games, like the crowds are going to be chanting for new ownership? Hmm. I mean, we've had, we've had, how many come to Jesus meetings have we had? Wow, that's too many. Three.

Three come to Jesus meetings. Do you guys get lost? Like, what's going on? Three come to Jesus meetings. Look, man, we made really tough decisions this time. We have the number one pick. So hopefully this will be the start of the tournament. That's our horse right there.

I will say that despite the recent seasons where we're not living up to the The standard, the gold standard that this franchise established. Which is what? We'll be back. Championships. We won the championship the first season. We are the crown jewel of Battlecourt. We're.

So when you say you won the championship of your first season, is it possible like you won it because, hey, your team was given to you like in a good, you know, scenario. No. No. We were. We battled. You got the team and you won the championship right away. And now, after many years of ownership, you're once again number no. You know who I think we miss?

I'll say it, Mike. Manny. Yeah. The first couple seasons, we had Manny who's like seven. 72 years old. Yeah. But he's just one of the most... Is he available?

He's kind of been around in the drafts. He's always one of these guys. He never gets kept, but he's just like a guy you want. Number one pick, maybe? No. We don't know Polo. Who are the eyes on? Who's the number one?

You could say it. No one else can take the person. Who is it? Who is it? We froze Manu. Yeah, we took Manu with our number one pick. So you don't have the number one pick. Well, we do.

Like, we could have unfrozen Manu and just taken Manu. We have the free... You don't know Paloo. We did use the freeze. Let me give you guys some free advice. Oh, boy. Okay, and I'm being half serious here. You fainted last game you went to.

No, no. Listen, he was so excited. He was appalled by the play. There are a bevy of retired athletes who live down here, okay? And this is partly publicity stunt, but partly smart. A tryout? Hire somebody, sign somebody like Ocho Cinco, just as a weird example. I like this idea.

You know, it would be great publicity. He's an athlete. He would probably like to do it as a lot. Mark, he could learn Highline in about a minute and a half. It's such a dangerously difficult sport. The sport is not easy. Also, well over our budget, pal. Well, you don't know.

He might do it. I know what our budget is, which is presently $0. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says quervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads like... Quervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Quervo. Quervo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Proximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo.
