Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo.

I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the Tequila that started it all. Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila.

Shadow Show. Shadow in it. Shadowing it. Shadowing it. My dad has kind of become a diva with the days of the week that he works. If he's scheduled for one day, he says, why not two this week? If he's scheduled for two, he's like, one would have been nice. If he's scheduled on Tuesday, he's like, oh, so just Tuesday. If he's scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, why not Tuesdays?

It's just, you can't win with this guy well it used to be Greg Cody Tuesdays that was like a thing and now it's like willy-nilly so I'm just trying to figure out trying to read that's Wednesday you know Wednesday Wednesday is willy-nilly it's wild willy-nilly Tuesday used to be Greg Cody Tuesday yeah what happened I'm convinced I don't know if this is true Mike you will have to tell me what is true or not true of the stugots negotiations that stugots negotiated into his contract that he could just skip the days when the nicks embarrassing

he won't be in because he was supposed to be in today's gonna be in tomorrow but i assume these not into the could you just trying to avoid uh... what will be a hysterically laughing day the biggest day of the heat season uh... that the basketball season concluded for Heat fans with game six in Indiana. That concludes our interest in anything to do with basketball and understanding that OKC will win the championship easily from here. I feel like this is one of the rare times I feel a little young in the show. Like not young in age, but young in the show, like not young in age but young in show experience, I don't think I ever witnessed strident Nick fan Stugats. I've missed that era

completely. So when you talk about, oh he's a boy in the tears, Stugats even liked the Knicks. He was pretty strident during this series to a frustrating end because every time they would suffer a loss and he was scheduled on the show he's like, oh no the Knicks are better, I know that we're better. And now we don't actually get to have the satisfaction of him realizing that no, you're not better than the Indiana Pacers. It's a bummer. It's pretty clear that they weren't. That game six was... It was clear that they weren't when he was saying that as a defense, but I don't know if it was coping or just not wanting to give people the pound of flesh.

When they lost the first two games, there's an argument, much as Boston had the argument, like, look, we were up. Sure. They beat us, but we were up. They're like, we outplayed them for most of the game. And then they had a hot little streak and that was cute. Like you could still convince yourself of that. Uh, in the early parts, I don't think it's so far fetched, even though they

did that series should have gone seven games. Like one of the most miraculous shots in the history of all of sports Went in yeah I also don't want to minimize it by just saying the shot in the end it did so much So many improbable things to put themselves in position for one of the more improbable He's the one that won game one not like Halliburton in a shot to tie Wasn't a ten-point lead with a minute left Not like Halliburton hit a shot to tie. Understood. But they... But Deismith was the one that went crazy. Wasn't a 10 point lead with a minute left?

Yeah, they were up nine with 52 seconds left. That's not a, that's a game. That series should have gone seven games. That should, we should have been able to eat on a live stream tomorrow night, the Knicks losing at home. That game seven in Madison Square Garden. I'm bummed that we're missing out on that. But we, we set it after, hours after that shot went in,

people are gonna forget, they trailed in overtime, people are gonna forget the path that they got to make that shot. All they're gonna remember is that shot. It's kinda like the Ray Allen shot. No, they played an entire game after the Ray Allen shot. Can I make a confession here? I love NBA basketball.

The playoffs have been amazing. I can't wait for the finals. I'm glad we didn't get a game seven. I get four nights of just this right here. Like what's on Disney Plus tonight? Oh Paramount Plus. Oh Mobland finale. I get to live a life and not have to worry about okay well this is what the Knicks need to do and da da da and be kind of consumed by it. Same. Dude this weekend the Panthers were off it was nice there was nothing that I needed to pay attention yeah by the way mob land that's a killer show I mean literally literally I love

that I just discovered it and immediately fell in love with it is great oh my gosh why are you being such a diva Cody this this Cody's been there since the newspaper days when he'd get sent to Buffalo with the Dolphins. He's like, why do I gotta go to Buffalo? When he wouldn't get sent, he'd be like, I should be going. Why am I not allowed? Yeah, the low point was when I started thinking that my column should be played out front

above Edwin Pope's. That was really a low point for me. And I regret it to this day, because I was wrong. But here's the thing, Greg Cody Tuesdays used to be a thing, right? Like, I would say 80% of the references I get when I get a cameo request or something, cha-ching, is, we love you on Greg Cody Tuesdays. That's our favorite day of the week. Right. And what happened? What happened? What happened to Greg Cody Tuesdays? GCT? Used to be a thing. We've added to it.

Yeah? Okay. Back in my day. I'm just saying. I'm just saying that GCTs used to be a thing. And now it's been erased. This is the Don Leventor Show with the Stougats Podcast. I am bumming that Stugats is not here today.

No offense to Amin and Greg. I'm very happy to see them. But I wanted to see how it would feel to be obnoxious New York fan today after losing to Indiana and getting ransacked by Indiana like that those turnover differences made Indiana feel like they're OKC just being able to play in the open court like that but before we get to all of the games here I just things are moving faster in the playoffs our local team is in the Stanley Cup final we will get to that in a moment but we didn't properly celebrate around here when the Boston Celtics season came to an end.

I forgot to use any number of the devices in our arsenal to unleash upon Boston Celtics fans, but today is a day to enjoy the misery of New York. The loudest New York there's been in basketball in 25 years falls as a favorite. Falls is a favorite on its face when you did the hard thing, you beat Boston. Cleveland got taken out and so what you did is for the first time in 25 years, Knicks fans dared to hope. So when it collapses like that against a team you were favored to beat, a team you were better than all season now you get to a point where ok c the best record since the start of the year

or ok c in indiana we know this right fifty three and thirteen ok c indiana's forty six and eighteen so they've both been very good since january first but i want to celebrate here and still got to see giving me the right this is a delay this is a delayed celebrations is the suffering of Boston fans. Find somebody who would represent New York so that we can just have Ben Stiller. Is it Ben Stiller's? Where's Sam?

Yeah. We need that pound of flesh. That's some tears. You want Stugats' tears. I don't think Stugats' tears will be good. Sam Morrill's tears? Oh my God. I don't know, Stugats.

You know, you have to differentiate. The New York Jets beat the life out of Stu Gotts. But he honestly was putting all his emotion into the Knicks. I think he really bought, this is the final of the year for the New York Knicks. I don't buy it. I buy it. I don't buy it either. At times I question, does he actually watch Nick's basketball? Is this all to put on? Does he even really care? Is he capable of giving us the suffering if he really didn't sweat it all that much? It'd be great if he were here to talk about it. He will not be today, unfortunately, contractually, but he will be here tomorrow. God bless football coming soon to a podcast near you.

Billy, what are you saying? Who got this? Who's Dave? Taking inventory of the studio and I noticed the God Bless Football tile disappeared and it was replaced by nothing personal with David Samson tile, which is interesting. What about that? Congratulations on your very busy weekend

of destroying God Bless Football with David Samson. Is that the name of the podcast? Yeah, yeah, according to Awful Announcing. Well, via Sugots directly. Oh, Awful Announcing, what what happened you're gonna have to inform me I'm not informed. Oh, it's you didn't see it awful announcing runs with the source you gots blames David Samson and Dan Lebatard for a god bless football no longer being a part of metal arcs lineup Wow I mean to be fair the tile is gone, and it's replaced with nothing personal well

That was what they was doing all weekend. He physically removed the time Did he throw the tile? So wait a minute, I'm being blamed? I'm being blamed for? That's right. Who else? That's right. For what?

Who, who, who? For God bless football, for God bless football being independent and owned by Stugan? That's right, for him negotiating that, you were to blame. Yeah, forced him out. Clear as day. Damn shame what happened. Yeah, it really is.

Terrible. Mike Ryan mentioned the Ray Allen shot and the idea that people forget that there had to be an overtime after that and then another game after that. Some of the greatest examples of what Mike is talking about there is that many people don't remember that there had to be another game after Carlton Fisk's home run, that there had to be another game after Bill Buckner's error, that there had to be another game after Carlton Fisk's home run, that there had to be another game after Bill Buckner's error, that there had to be another game after the United States hockey team beat Russia in order to win the gold medal. What are the examples of that that you can think of any more than the ones I just mentioned of something in history that happened that was so seismic that

you don't remember what came after it you just came the you just remember the moment before because I think Halliburton's shot ought to qualify because I believe those teams were relatively evenly matched I thought that should be a seven game series I don't think it's ridiculous to think that the New York Knicks could go into Indiana and win a game and Indiana could go into New York and win a game seven as well but we're gonna be denied that I was planning I was I was expecting New York to lose at home in seven because of how inconsistent they were at home all season and because of

how unafraid Halliburton just generally seems even a Siakam wins the what quietly right okay is it possible to say quietly wins Eastern Conference Finals MVP for putting up 30 point game after 30 point game and no one will be talking about Siakam after this series he will be third or fourth among the things you talk about. I wanted to get a means thoughts on that because it was a close vote it was five for Siakam gets it. It looked like Halliburton maybe expected to get it from his reaction. Or was that a put on? So, okay, so at first I said, oh my God,

he thought he was gonna get it. Then I remembered when we went to the screening for Friendship, they had a whole panel before and there's a big buildup. And I think, I can't remember whether it was you or maybe it was it was Carlos who said our next guy is a really big on social media and movies and stuff like that please give it up for and as a joke I did this right here and then they called up the kid superhero what's his name Superman? Supes. Supes there you go. You are flirting with a penalty right now.

Finish your thought as a communicator. So the poor, well, I was communicating with him. So I sat back down. You know, like I did the little thing and then they did it again and I was like, oh, this one, oh, nope. And I sat back down. It's funny. It's like a funny, I love doing that whenever they're doing the, hey, the guy that this couldn't have happened without

doing a little one of these. So you think Halliburton knew? I think he knew. Like, I don't think that was a genuine... He has his arm around someone and then as they're like, and the winner, and he like takes it off, steps forward, like I have my time, sorry man. Sorry guy, I had my arm around, I need to go get my award here. It's a funny move, man. I'm fairly certain there's a field producer telling them beforehand who wins the award

so they can make sure that they're alert and ready to step into the mark. Billy, what are your thoughts here? Does anyone have any thoughts here? These are two very different things. If Halliburton is doing this as a joke, it's one kind of funny. If he's not doing it as a joke, it's funny. I mean, he's probably trying to be funny, I think.

He mimics everyone's celebrations. I think he just likes being a funny guy. All right, so, but as it relates to Siakam, I don't know if we have the sound of Siakam being testy with Greg Doyle, because this is Siakam, I don't know if we have the sound of Siakam being testy with Greg Doyle, because this is Siakam's worst public moment. I was there. Siakam, you were there for that? I was behind Greg Doyle!

All right, so we'll get to that in a second. But first, Roy, when are you gonna pay your penalty here of having to stick an entire bag of Big League Chew in your mouth over the show here? I'm gonna do it right now. Oh no. Oh God. Alright so it's the whole bag.

Oh man this is not a good start. There's more? Oh my God. Yeah this is just the start. It's a giant bag. Now Chris Cody tried to do this and failed. I don't believe that. Come on.

He failed. He failed at putting something in his mouth. Well he swallowed it. It's a lot of big league chew. I don't think, I don't think it's safe to do the entire bag in your mouth at once. Is it? I don't, I believe that whole bag will make it very very difficult for Roy to speak after that. I like the idea that you don't think it's safe like Roy's gonna open. So now a second person is doing it. This is a choking habit. I'd worry about his teeth.

Do we have a dentist on call? Oh, this is a dentist's dream. I feel like dentists give you bad advice so that they return business, you know what I mean? Like, oh, you should brush three times a day. Really, you're just like brushing the enamel off of your teeth. Like, I think that they give you advice

that damages your teeth so that you come back for repeat business. I think you're 100% right. Thank you. I'm gonna take the under on 100% right. Nobody's got a perfect mouth according to a dentist. You could have a perfect mouth and they're like well you have a little sign of a cavity in your lower right molar neighborhood. I feel like once a week I feel like once a week someone comes in onto their chair and they're like you have the perfect mouth never I could have a hundred of you nope I'm telling you my dentist dr. B great dentist great dentist but for about 18 years every time I seem that we got to get those

wisdom teeth out like they're not a problem they get a commission on they will be they will be and they've haven't been a problem ever ever ever and you know what Billy to also bolster your point, up until like 2003, when you take your kids to like the pediatric dentist, you know what they give them at the end? A lollipop. What was that about?

How about that? Keep them coming back. Ironic, isn't it? Like the iPhone or the Apple where they're purposely, they've had to pay money, right? Because they make products that are meant to break early so that you have to replace them. The battery life and all that, yep.

As a business model. Although famously they got sued for pennies on the dollar for that. In the six games versus the Pacers, Carl Anthony Towns had one block, one block. Oh my God. From the center. That doesn't happen very often.

And he went the entire conference finals last year without registering a block and it got him traded. Well, I mean, right after that. It didn't get him traded. Right after that, he was traded. That and his salary. But my point is that this was a bad defensive team. Like when Haberstrow writes that Brunson, Bridges, Hart,

Ananobe, and Catt was the second worst defensive unit in conference finals since 2008, only one that was worse was 16 Toronto with Luis Scola out there. Oh my God. Luis Scola makes me smile. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Does Luis Scola make you smile? They they seem to be a very flawed team and I don't know if

they're going to convince themselves that they're close. They they spent a lot of capital on trying to get bridges on their roster when they're actually pretty close right now. I mean a lot of Knicks fans are lamenting like we could have used those five picks for Giannis now that he's in the picture. Well, what does it mean that 93% of their money is tied up in six players and they got less from the bench than anybody and they got less from the bench all season? Like I'm asking you the question structurally as people like people now wonder are the Celtics going to trade Jaylen

Brown or what are the Celtics going to do to counter however it is that OKC needs to be countered when I say the conversation today I Amin, goes very quickly. Roy, how much of that you got in your mouth so far? It seems like half the bags so far. When I say, Amin, that 93% of the salary is tied up in the six guys. Yeah, I think there's a glass half full kind of way to look at it, which is they've got six guys who

are under contract that they don't have to worry about. Townes, Ananobe, Brunson, Bridson Bridges Hart Robinson, and that's a really good start I think they could do better with their bench I also think Tom Thibodeau could do better with trusting his bench Landry Shamett was a nice little discovery would have been nice if he Had been playing all year long as opposed to just the last couple of games Same thing with precious at you all who played with Mitchell Robinson, was hurt earlier this year. Would have been nice to be able to turn to him earlier in the series rather than later.

So I think part of it is coaching, a coaching decision. Part of it is they've gotta get better at finding talent in the margins, because that's how this thing works. You don't pay everybody. You pay a certain number of people, in this case for them six,

which is actually a pretty good number, to have locked up. And then you've Got to do a great job with your scouting with your first round picks second round picks with your minor league scouting with your guys Young vets that kind of pop up somewhere and then you help a team That's the next phase of that that the front office has to go through But can you actually win a championship with two out of your starting five? Being that bad at defense people that you can target right up the spine of your defense and moreover I

don't know if you saw Becky Hammond's quotes but is Jalen Brunson just too small can you can your best player be that small for you to win a championship so shout out to master Tosvacio who like grabbed that flag and ran with it you have to understand when master posts anything there is a Dallas narrative underneath so his narrative is that Jalen Brunson isn't that good because he was at the Mavs and the Mavs let him go and now it's like oh yeah he's too small. Becky Hammond said that two years ago right. That's all well and good also they made it to the conference finals and they were up in two you know three of

the six games right in the fourth quarter. So, but what does that mean? they're not good enough and they needed Cleveland to get knocked out and Indiana did all the killing and Tatum got hurt and they're not good enough and Brunson's their best player and if he's your best player That's about as far as you're gonna go This this is the revisionist history that you were just talking about with like they did win the majority of the games in that series With Tatum on the floor right well yes they were up 3-1 with Tatum and this thing was crumbling for Boston crumbling and then Tatum got hurt and then they had one win of like The pride win and then they lost again, but what are we doing that? You don't have to preamble I'll explain it they're good guess what only one team wins

They fell. They fell because Indiana had a better game plan and they executed the game plan better. It's not because the Knicks clearly were out-talented. It's not a talent issue. Nobody's saying it's a talent issue. You're saying they're not good enough to win with Buntz and his best player? They just lost to a five. Okay. Like they lost to a five.

I just explained how? No, and they're a three. They beat one of the two that were better than them but maybe they're better than cleveland next year and maybe they're not better than cleveland next year and i don't know where yannis ends up but when we're talking about boston realized during this year that they might have to make a change while watching what okc was doing

a structural architectural change if boston is the champion is doing that i feel like we've sped up what do you what do you want was what was boston realizing that nothing to change there was uh... conversation happening during the season as people realize like you did ok c has gotten better than boston what might that team have to do to change if it loses against OKC? I know that's that's not a conversation that was happening. So it's it's a conversation that's happening now is it not? It was a conversation that

was really tied to the purchase price because they had to avoid the luxury tax. It was all a money conversation. Okay. It has nothing to do with, oh my god OKC is really good. Their elimination has changed it though. Of course, and Tatum being hurt, like, and being out for the next year changes it. There's a lot of stuff that is accelerated because of the circumstances. Most of them are financial. It's not a basketball like, oh my god, they're so great, we have to change. Number one. Number two, because I have to correct something else you said, Indiana was a four seed, not

the five seed. Number three, Indiana had the best record in the nba outside oklahoma city from january one on so it's you wouldn't you frame it as all my god the next two another shouldn't they should not that was a great team that they play you're also only one game worse than nix record-wise for the season there you go there are three teams in the conference i can argue today are better than the Knicks. At least three.

And I don't know what Philadelphia's going to be. I understand if no one trusts anything regarding Joel Embiid. But I do believe that when a season ends, you can either say that you believe, oh, they're good enough as is, and they can add a thing. Or you say they need to add something better than brunson and brunson is plenty good but they need to add something structurally that changes their fortunes because ninety three percent of the money is

tied up in six guys i mean and i do believe it's fair to have a structural conversation about the next today i i i agree i mean we've seen teams, Carolina and another sport is kind of the same way. Are we good enough? We made it to the conference finals, but then when you peel it apart, well, the conference finals are a little kooky in that sport.

You can make an argument that the four best teams are from one division that you totally avoid. New York has been in this position before and they traded away popular players, Hartnstein, DiVincenzo, guys that were really making contributions and they realized that they have to be aggressive. Now, it's a bit different because they have a hand tied

behind their back because they just gave up five picks for Bridges. They don't have the same kind of flexibility that they had before, but they got rid of Julius Randall when most Knicks fans were celebrating in the streets thinking that they were close, but they recognized and they were self-aware enough to know that they weren't actually close.

So, Hardenstein, they didn't give them up. The rules said, we can only pay you this much, and Oklahoma City said, we'll pay you double. So, that wasn't a choice. If it were up to the Knicks, they would've kept them. The Bridges trade, that's, if you wanna pick on the Knicks for an office, that's where you go. Because at the time I said,

everyone was always the power of friendship. It's not about friendship. It's a Toyota Corolla. You don't pay $500,000 for a Toyota Corolla, even if you know there's a million dollars in gold bricks in the trunk, because it's still a Toyota Corolla, right? And in that sense, you spent that 500 grand

or five first round picks on a Toyota Corolla, and now there's a Mercedes on the market and you're like, if only I had $500,000 on me.

There's a it weighs a lot Why is the genie the genie is is Greg's guardian angel, but if I have a Why's the genie need to whisper doesn't give you choices the garden angels can't be genius Is that what you're saying? No way a camera's trunk is big enough to hold them when you say a genie Do you mean Robin Williams is Greg's guardian angel?

It's gonna be weighted to the floor It's gonna be you're gonna know there's a million dollars. You're not gonna be able to drive the car put it on the pole at Levitard show. Can you move a Toyota Corolla? Can you drive a Toyota Corolla that has 1 million pounds worth of gold weight million pounds? This isn't a self-, innit? Forgive me. In it. I love it. Wait, hold on, I gotta do my Tom Hardy. You gotta keep talking like this. See, Kev, me and the Aragans, we've got a problem, innit? I love that. It came up on Mobland. It was not any good.

So in it? I did some research. In today's market, a million dollars in gold would be 516.65 pounds. So you could. Light work. It's like two dead bodies in the trunk. My bad.

Light work. I thought it was heavier than that. My bad. Roy, you have the entire pack of Big League gum, Big League chew gum in your mouth now? Yes sir. All right. So are you chewing it or you just put it in like a taco?

It's behind my cheeks right now. Okay, but have you chewed it? Have you made it inflate in your mouth? Yes. Okay. Can you give us your best Stanley Cup preview here as Edmonton faces the Panthers in a rematch of last year's finals, a final as Paul Maurice says this is the best team he's ever coached, this one right now. Yeah he's absolutely right

is the deepest and has the most talent on the team. I believe that the Panthers will win a six but I won't be surprised that this game, this series goes seven games. It's gonna be a big blow to the Allers that Zach Hyman is out for the season, but they still can make this a seven game series. Stuart Skinner has been consistent over the last series versus the Dallas Stars. We'll see if the Panthers will put traffic in front of them and get deflections past them. But it's gonna be a close series.

I think the Panthers will take it. All right, stay on here. I want more analysis from you, faster and more. Edmonton is 12 and two in their last 14. They started the postseason, they started the postseason and they were down early against the Kings. And then in games three and four they were also down late

The Kings could have killed the Kings could have the Kings could have put an end to this The history of sports that series ended with that challenge the Panthers have been great during the last 12 games Edmonton has been better especially on the road for the Panthers and they are going on the road for this series The Orles have a home a home ice advantage in this series. And I think the fans will take full advantage of that one. The Hyman thing is huge. What? Ayo.

But what Bob struggled with so far this postseason, what certain teams were affected, Toronto mainly, until Mikola woke up and realized he had to get ultra physical, is putting a big body in front of Bob, screening him, making it tough to read the puck. Zach Hyman, that's what he does. They call him Shaq Hyman.

He scores all his goals inside of one feet. But now that he's out, what big body can they put up there? Is it Nugent Hopkins? He's very effective at that, even when he's not scoring goals for them at the same clip. This is a former 50 goal scorer. So Florida's benefiting from this injury, no doubt. Corey Perry is gonna end up in front of that as well.

And he's been getting his goals that way. Yeah, he's been very good for them lately. This Google AI thing seems to still be figuring itself out because it seems as though a million dollars in gold might only be 27 pounds, not 516. Yeah, when Dan started saying that, I'm like, this is- See, it says a million dollars of gold at today's market price would weigh

approximately 516.65 pounds. This equates to about 83,083 troy ounces or 27.46 pounds of gold. Now, is it pounds of gold? Is it pounds of gold in it, Governor? If you ever find gold, by the way, gang, if you ever treasure hunting and you find gold Melted down and remake your own bars because if it's stamped and it belongs like to Spain they're gonna come and claim it you

Know you you really have to find someone to melt it down Because if you if you it belongs to like the kingdom of Spain or like, you know the Irish whatever So they come in they like a lighter just like you get to a lighter lighter. No you'll see if it's coins. Find a cauldron. Yeah no you gotta, guys I'm trying to help you here. It's really a curse to find gold because they come and they claim it and you really get nothing out of it. He's right you ever seen the movie The Scorer with Robert De Niro? Robert De Niro and Ed

Norton they get it and then they melt it down and they make it into like the bars on the ship. Everyone thinks it's just golden. What was that Greg? Hey Norton! Yeah no I heard that the ship. Everyone thinks it's just golden. What was that, Greg? Hey Norton. Yeah, no, I heard that. What is it? Greg's right though. Oh, it's Ralph Cramden.

Honeymooners. Yeah, the honeymooners. The honeymooners. Hold on a second, Greg. Roy, can you stop chewing gum long enough to get the Back in My Day live here so that we can now get on a Monday Greg Cody's live rendition of Back in My Day

where he tells us the inside reference that he was making there to all the 90 year olds who are listening to our podcast. Roy got it. The Honeymooners started airing in 1955. Yeah, so at Levitard Show is the poll question, is it really a curse to find gold? I liked his perspective on that.

Well, I- They always come back and claim it. You don't want to let, if you find it, don't tell anyone number one, and then two, melt it down and make your own gold because you're not gonna be able to do anything with it. That's when you need to start researching the black market and how you move gold in the black market. I don't even know how you would do it

because the internet these days, you search how do I illegally move gold in the black market, they'll find you. Roy, you're giving me the thumbs up there, launch. I mean, everybody knows who Ralph Cramden is, right? The world's most famous bus driver, Ed Norton was his neighbor, and hey Norton! You know, and so an actor named,

it's almost like a, you know, Michael Jordan thing. Art Carney. Art Carney, right. Played Norton. Hey Norton! It was like- It's really all you've got, huh? Can we transcribe this?

I wanna transcribe this and have someone else read it. Okay. Greg, hold on. Hold on. I know you're so good at this that you don't need to practice it. Ed Norton, I didn't say that. Back in my day.

Ed Norton! I wanna see this in black and white. I need to see this transcribed. You haven't written a Back in My Day in a while. You continue to publicize your books here off of old recycled work. You haven't done a lot of new, you're not cranking out fresh material.

So we just- I'm cranking out fresh books. I'll tell you that. I just bought a racehorse, down here from really from Argentina to Miami is like grande in quarantine right now with the other way and then she's gonna be shipped up to Ocala for some training what's the name is like grande the island now I'm just picturing like a plane full of horses and like there's like a cart going down the middle, like you guys want some hay here?

Get some hay. No, we have video, you should play the video of my horse. Yeah, you should. Boarding a plane because it's astounding to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, just go run and get that for us. No, because we did this on his podcast and it's not the horse boarding a plane,

it's just the horse moving from one vehicle to another vehicle. I know, it's majestic. How do horses, how do they like planes versus riding on the expressway? I think they they like it because they disguise the plane. They try to make it look like they're just in a stall or something. They even put like a bale of hay there. Plus, Isla Grande had big earmuffs. Listening to music, I imagine those are like AirPods. Watching Mobland.

Watching a show on the flight. Hey Roy, can you feel your lower teeth rotting in your head? Yes. Okay, I'm just checking. But the other thing that occurs is that when you melt a gold brick, why does it have to be made into a brick shape? Like if you put it in a squirrel mold.

You can make it into anything. You can make a gold squirrel. Like ice cubes, they have ice cubes with dimples like a golf ball Why can't you do that with gold? It's a good point I mean it happened in was that Ben Stiller movie the the one where there was a hotel at Tower Heist So in Tower Heist, spoiler alert for everyone who's what such a classic such a bad It's a classic Thanksgiving movie So anyone who watches Tower Heist will know this if you haven't maybe tune off now if you're getting around to Tower Heist

It came out in 2011 So tower heist it was kind of like a bernie madeoff situation where the guy came out and he ruined everybody's retirement And what happened was he hid all of the money in a gold shaped car That he had in his penthouse and then it was painted so everybody thought that it was a car But really every piece of it was gold. So at the end, again, spoiler alert, Ben Stiller went and everybody that had lost out on their retirement, he mailed them in the mail,

he sent them like a mirror, he sent them like the steering wheel and it was solid gold, all of them. Boom, retirement back. Then he went to jail. Spoiler alert. Well, he committed crimes. He had to do the time.

Don't commit the crime if you can't do the time, right, Greg? There you go. That's exactly right, Billy. Only bet what you're gonna afford. Anyway, Greg, we were on the honeymooners, but first, I'd like to just retreat for just a moment. I'm the truly ignorant one in thinking that a million dollars in gold

would be heavier than it was. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you came up with like a crazy poundage. Yeah, I did. You said it weighed a million pounds. I mean, gold is famously very valuable. You said the car wouldn't be able to move it. What do you think weighs more, a million pounds of gold or a million pounds of feathers?

Ooh, good question. Wait, is it a million pounds of gold? A million dollars, sorry. Thank you, I'm just kidding. All right, it's a million pounds, Governor. So, put it on the poll, is it really, I know we put it up already, is it really a curse to find gold?

Because Billy is maintaining, I just wanna make sure I've got this right. You're maintaining that you would rather not find gold than find gold, correct? I'm not saying I would rather not, I'm just saying once you find it, then the treasure hunt has just begun. Now you need to move it.

And how do you move it? Hey, by the way friends fun facts Greg cuz you mentioned the honeymooners. How many seasons do you think it had? I would say six it had one 39 episodes. That was it. Yeah, but nowadays nowadays that'd be five seasons This show's been so ADD that I've been trying for 20 minutes to legitimately get in with the Bartman game. That was a game six. A whole nother game had to be played after that. That's a good one. That's an excellent one. Yeah, it is.

Why is that a fine? For someone. I don't know. We don't even remember talking about that. Yeah, the Bartman game. That fits. I was actually going to say Urb Brooks, who's in the Urb Top 20 countdown on my or Brooks who's in the herb top 20

countdown on my podcast because we're in the top 10 by the way because everybody right so it's 1220 herbs yeah it's dad you want to give them the no no I saw this the other day I will continue to tell people that what Yeti and Chris Cody are doing with Greg Cody on very low budget is fun and funny and it's a ransacking and last week it was top 20 herbs. Well it's every week we revealed this week was I believe what eight? I cheered when cilantro was number six not to spoil it not to spoil everything for everybody. Time! Time was already used I believe. Oh okay. I don't believe it was. Okay so that's rosemary my bad I'm thinking of rosemary. Right.

Still time for time? There's still time for that. Do you realize how shitty your honeymooners back in my day was? Do you want to give it another crack on what the honeymooners was or did all you have was Hey Norton to take us back to this 39 episode run through one glorious season of The Honeymooners. Well, that's how it came up was, hey Norton. Hey Raffy. Right, and then we asked you to elaborate and you keep going back to hey Norton. So do you know anything about The Honeymooners?

Because back in my day there was a television show was black and white and only had 39 episodes. Do you remember how to do back in my day? I do, I do, but the honeymooners, the whole riff was Ralph being annoyed by Ed. Okay, so Ed would, like the classic scene was where he's teaching Ed Norton how to hold a golf club, and Ed Norton, instead of taking a swing, he just, he just... They're better when they're written. Check out his book back in my day of the chronicles of

recycled uh... corned beef hash uh... with greg cody uh... it's a great father's day gift it is now the mention it but are you not fascinated by the way this man's brain works so i'm right i said it yeah well i think that i will tell you there is one thing i am fascinated by and thank you for bringing it up because if you hadn't brought it up it would have escaped my attention since singing in los vegas

diva and ego has consistently come to greg cody who now thinks he's the star of every show he's in the i did carry vegas agreed and i've agreed so that you guys may have noticed this is it made mike laugh out loud in the other room when he shot out his left arm because he was about to give off some material like as he had a liner to for the audience and he was a winding up

that's greg feeling himself on, look out here comes some of the good, 100% pure, don't melt it down like gold, Greg Cody. You get me. It's shitty. E-Haw 3! There it is, ladies and gentlemen. Makes no sense. So Tom Cruise and Father's Day, I link these two.

I link these two because as Father's Day approaches tom cruise had the single most tom cruise answer to what i thought was just the law of the question at the red carpet from a celebrity interviewer it's not meant to sort of rummage around in his past or whether or not or ask him whether he loves his kids or not but what a shocking answer to this question the The most shocking I've heard on a red carpet to this kind of question. Also, I gotta ask Father's Day is just around the corner. What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you?

Hey, you know, just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a great time. He is not seeing those kids. I don't see what's wrong. That made me sad. There's sadness there. Why is he treating Father's Day the way that Bill Belichick would treat Cincinnati on his schedule? Play that again, please because I was just simply shocked by this answer Also, I gotta ask Father's Day is just around the corner. What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you? Hey Just having fun man making movies big adventure

Having a great time Sounds like an awesome Father's Day. Do you think he didn't hear the question? Yeah, and he just had one like in the whole set. No, I think that's what he thinks an awesome Father's Day is. What's the other option? Brunch with the in-laws like his version so much better. So much better my god father's day is not about fathers let's be honest it's such a football question though I mean come on you know what he did he went yard with that answer did he yeah okay play it again play it again listen listen listen to him process and then like deliver I'm also gonna ask Father's Day is just around the corner what would an ideal Father's Day look like for you hey you

know just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a great time. That shit left the park, man. What are you talking about? Did you guys know that the Texas Rangers were an out away from winning a World Series in 2011 twice in game six? Yeah.

Went on to lose that series? It was an amazing World Series. Josh Hamilton had one of the great forgotten moments by just putting them two up. Kind of like the Jermaine Kersh catch in that Super Bowl. You guys remember the Derek Fisher shot that he hit to beat the Spurs? That had to win the series.

It didn't win the series, but even better than that, Tim Duncan hit an incredible shot right before. Tim Duncan's shot was even more incredible than the Fisher one. Seconds before. Seconds before. Put put it on the pole, please do you at Levitard show is Father's Day for Fathers? That's not you think Tom Cruise just walks around everything and says I could jump off of that No, he just does put that on the pole at Levitard show does Tom Cruise just walk around saying I can jump off of that Again, I just want to play it one more time because it's amazing.

Annabella, he's not thinking about you at all. He's only thinking about himself. When it comes to Father's Day, it's me, me, me on Tom Cruise. Also, I gotta ask Father's Day, it's just around the corner. What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you? Hey, you know, just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a great time. That'd be like if I asked my dad that.

He'd be like, oh, just writing columns. Yeah. Love to write a column. Big adventure. That's a dude I can't wait to get back to Anadarmus. He doesn't have time to see his kids. He's strapped to the side of an airplane. His face is vibrating.
