You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabel Tarshall with the Stugat's Podcast. I cannot say to God that I've ever felt quite the way I do right now. It's not a way I've ever done this show Saturday, just spent Saturday on my hands and knees, just like almost couldn't physically get out of bed because I got a pain inside me That is place there and I know is never going anywhere and I never want it to go anywhere because the ache will keep my love for him Alive. Thank you to everyone who has reached out soon. I will be going away for a while. Soon, within a couple of weeks,

we'll have the services that my brother wanted because they require some planning. And so I would have liked to have done it earlier, but he wanted some very specific things. And we will get you that information shortly. But as I come in here, in this time of need, and look around at our Metal Arc Media Empire and who's going to support me. I have washed Chris Cody who bought the Jake Paul fight, but made the mistake of doing

things with the pool and day drinking and woke up at two in the morning looking around. I'm not my couch just befuddled. Confused. Dangerous game. Totally washed. Chris Cody is in the morning looking around. Oh my cow just befuddled. Confused. Dangerous game. That day. Totally wash. Chris Cody is in the EP chair. I've got Billy Gill who is reeling

because his marlins do nothing but lose. All of their new acquisition just shit on the rest of the season. But Billy is so tired from having two kids that he recently made the mistake of driving to the Cleveland. That's true. Last Thursday, I drove through on a studio. Ways is a dangerous game. I'm telling you, I get into the parking garage. Well, okay, so like today, I was like 20 minutes late because Ways had me going a different way than I normally did. And I was like, let me listen to you today.

And it added 15 minutes on to my commute. So sometimes I just tune out. It's the second baby, though. It's not the ways. It's the second baby. Well, I was on autopilot. I'm not gonna lie because I had, I don't know if you guys are like this.

I talked to myself in my head when I'm driving. Lots of times, it's conversations that need to be had that ultimately never end up being had. So I have the conversations in my head to practice how they're gonna go when I have the conversations in person. So I'm driving in, having my practice conversation that didn't end up happening.

And then ways is just saying you turn, you turn, you turn. And because ways is always sending me on these different ways that kept me there later than I would, I a lot of times just tune it out. But then it keeps saying you turn, you turn. and I'm like, what the hell's going on? And I'm like, there's cruise ships next to me. I'm not going to the right place right now. Like I'm clearly driving to the old stage, you're like stupid ways.

Well, it was interrupting my inner monologue that I was having with myself. Anyway, that's what I've got to count on today. And Stugat is also here. He spent the weekend. Hello. All of last week flirting with is also here. He spent the weekend. Hello. All of last week flirting with his dream employer. I did, yeah. He comes in today and he tells me,

I left Boomer a handwritten note on his desk. Yep. I just said, hey, thanks for letting me fill in and trusting me with your seats. And I left him my phone number and the event that he needs me moving forward. I mean, Taylor also told me that Stugats was playing a game. I don't know whether this was on error off of I will trade you Aaron Rogers telephone number, WFA and producer for Jerry Seinfeld. That's

terrible telephone number. I didn't do the deal. You know, Aaron Rogers told Sheffield to lose his number, Rossini, lose my number. And I don't want to be one of those people where Rogers sends me a text that says lose my number, and I don't want to be one of those people with Roger sends me a text that says, lose my number. My relationship with Aaron Rogers is more important to me than trying to get Jerry Seinfeld. The guy you have always wanted on this show. WFA and producer, tell us your know when you tried to make the trade. Told you know he wouldn't give you Seinfeld. Oh no, I told him no.

I mean, I don't want to give up Aaron's number. I don't. Your relationship's not existent. You don't even know what he looks like you're right Also in the studio and I'm thankful for this just generally because you've seen how washed that side of the room is We bring in youth and vitality Lucy Rodin is here a lot of people I'm jealous of her I was the new thing once I'm jealous that everyone loves her They want her opinions on conference for alignment. They want her opinions in general. She's been doing reporting around the globe for us, but I was of the opinion. I thought when I walked in, I was like, really,

I've been moved so much over the last couple of days to guys. Like really beautiful loving things. Just really feeling loved by the people who care about me and my family in a way that also keeps my brother alive because he was such a big personality. And I thought, when I saw Dominique Foxworth, I'm like, God, he was just on vacation. Hawaii, he doesn't even work for us. He is here in my time of need to just support me. And then I realized, no, he just wants to be near a microphone to break down that Montgomery, Alabama video. That he flew in because he just wants to break this video.

Video Billy hasn't seen, because he got lost and didn't have any time to look at anything on the way. There's some things that we just can't talk about on ESPN. But you know what we can talk about? We talk about it here. I want to know the over under on Inward used in that fight. All right. Hold on. Wait. Oh, What hold on just slow down a second. We'll go down here. I know I just support you. I guess you support me and to have this conversation But Billy you have not yet seen this amazing video correct that has gone viral from Montgomery, Alabama and race wars at this time of

Division in America are not great and they're not funny. But when they're on a dock, let's be clear. Oh, it's a great fight. I know it's being framed as a race war, but there's only one right swimming over. Let me tell you this to the way. Listen to me. Billy would be going the opposite direction.

Yeah. Chris, the guy swimming is where I laughed out loud and said, if I was writing this as comedy, if I was writing this as a skit, white people are fighting black people and it's hard to get on the dock where someone is and what's that at the bottom of my screen? Someone is swimming their way, swimming their way

into a fight. Montgomery Alabama of all places. The guy that swims over gets off onto the dock, takes one of his shoes off, and then it's like, no, don't have time to take the other one off. I gotta get involved here. I'm looking. Where did the person swim from? Because we're seeing the reverse angle. There's nothing over there.

Like a mile away. Benin, Billy, he swim over from Benin. All right, this is where it always gets uncomfortable. I always end up feeling bad for somebody in a fight, but I'd like to just- Just getting claustrophic. Hold on, hold on, hold on. When you're watching a movie,

in the villain in the movie, gets his ass kicked. You feel bad for the villain? Like, this is not a race thing, although this is about race. It's very clear that some people were being assholes, and then they got their asses kicked. Okay, I will say this as after a baseball fight, unlike many baseball fights that I saw yesterday, I love Tim Anderson and I immediately felt really bad for Tim Anderson. What?

Because I was laughing at Tim Anderson. Everybody was. You can't drop your gloves and then get knocked out. Everybody was. That's the part I felt bad about. I'm with you on Tim Anderson. It's different, but these people just were like six, I'm just starting beating up a security guard because he told him to move their boat. And then I got their ass kicked for it. Yeah, there's nothing to feel bad for these people more.

Rocked him. Yes, this is Chris Cody is reacting to someone hitting a woman with a chair in the head. He's gonna chair. He does have a chair. It is an amazing fight. It is an amazing video. And yes, that guy with the chair did some real damage. About guy with no shirt on there. Staying strong is still standing. It's unbelievable. That's Jake Paul's next fight. Unbelieveable chin. That guy. He took

chairs. He got hauled. Everybody from every every angle hit him let me see it again from the beginning though because i want uh... i can't tell you how hard i left as soon as i realized what was at the bottom of my screen it's white people fighting black people and they're coming from all over on this dock and this helpful arrow was show you on the television. Love the arrow, the good editing.

Yes, yes, just excellent work here that allows us to see that at the bottom of the screen, as you see, escalating tension. From where? I will cross the ocean. Thank you, arrow. Thank you, arrow. I don't think it was necessary.

I think he could have just kept running on the dark. You would have spotted it I think he did it. No, I think he's in a calculation. I could swim diagonally faster than I can run And I need to get there faster and so what I don't mind is I'm ahead and toward a fist fight and I'm stopping wet Which is not the best way to head into a fist fight So in the history of Montgomery, Alabama, there have been lots of altercations like this that always in with the black people having had their asses beat down. This is the one where it was like, nope, not this time. So like this is American progress.

We talk about it, all the things that we've had in the history of this country that are make us all feel uncomfortable. One time the people who deserve to get their asses beat got that S. B. And it's great. They really did. And you seem to be enjoying it. I think you sound like the other side that is enjoying the United States losing its soccer yesterday.

I believe that your true colors are showing dominate. I can't hide them, Dan. You know my true color. I know this is showing. It's my true color? Is he showing? He's showing. Of course he's showing. You cannot see a woman hidden ahead by a chair, Dominique, and be okay and roar with laughter.

Did you see the way the guys were skipping over with no shirts on? That might be a two-american thing, to approach a fight with a skip. No, this is where I thought Mike Tyson was always the most menacing when he skipped toward the center of the rank. You were done.

You were already scared, but oh, he wants all of this. But that's what I thought. I thought Tim, I think the thing that was funny about Tim Anderson is that it looked like he wanted all of it. He looked, when he took that posture, I think all of us said, oh, Tim can fight because he took a posture immediately throwing down his glove and is like, I'm going to fight here, I welcome this. It looked like he had been training for that moment

his entire life. Let's watch that fight on MLB Game Day 3D replay right here. Okay, look, this is electronic hold on, Chris Cody. Hold on, Chris Cody. He's very excited. Chris Cody, slow down. Okay, this is largely audio. And I want to explain to the audience that might not have video, we cannot metal arc media afford MLB rights.

So what we have done is grab the only thing we're allowed to put on your screen. It looks like you gave me technology and you're like, hey, recreate this fight with technology. So tell Chris Cody what it is that we can afford the rights to here that is on the video screen. A recreation of the fight in cartoons that looked like they were drawn in the 1970s of animation. Baby earlier, maybe steamboat Willie of a video game. It looks like in television baseball. How old is this?

This is the only rights we can afford to this fight. Chris, you said you were watching this on your phone? No, no, no, this is just what I saw on the internet. This is like MLB allows, like if you're watching on your phone instead of watching just the game cast, they have this now. So you can be watching electronic versions of it and when a fight, they didn't anticipate a fight breaking out and then all of a sudden there's these

electronical figures on the screen and it's just amazing. I can just watch this all It's not much of a fight a guy just jumped up there now. They're jumping or Tim Anderson He's having a rough year didn't get better for him yesterday. Huh? We all thought the same thing there correct Tim Anderson wants this fight. Oh, no His set look ready he looks ready to get all had the same reaction you throw down your glove Oh, this might be good. Oh, good God a right hook from the heavens

Good contact that great You did it too. It didn't even seem like a landed blizzard or hard, but you hit that button you hit that button sleep time Don libato hard that bear was not on house death deck. Excuse me. was gonna say desk. I meant deck. I botched it terrible two dollars penalty box two minutes See it home for the day walk to the ocean. What do you want me to do? Superbowl wait then I didn't answer any of this and I have no money Aqua still got walked to the ocean. I walked to the ocean I have no money get out of here walk to the ocean.

Billy Gill and I ignored run differential that had them with the strongest start since they won a World Series. The Marlins were 14 games over 500, and there were some smoking mirrors there

and a lot of one-run victories, and clearly the braves are a lot better. But Billy, then everyone. Then everyone, they haven't been that good lately, but when I look, you say then everyone, I look at Baltimore, Baltimore is pretty overwhelming. And Billy, what I just saw this weekend is, holy shit, Texas is good.

Like they're gonna hit home runs and they're gonna, they erase deficits because you're terrified of their lineup. Yeah, I mean, the Rangers are good. Ryan weather's as terrible and should never to step on a field again. I don't know what I'm saying. That was, you seem like you were starting

to get erased and fatherhood got you. You're kidding right. Yeah. I need to be more composed now. I need to set an example. I need to not do the things that I used to do. But if that guy ever pitches for the more of us again, we're going to have problems. So why why did the second kid make you change? I mean, didn't you want to set the example for the first one was practice kind of to see if it stuck. But now what I mean? Right. But now that there's another one, it's like, okay, I'm committed to this whole thing, you know. Like I got a parent, two of them now, you know.

So you're not gonna go out and get some cigarettes and not come back now, you've crossed that. Probably not. I mean, Billy, you have like six, seven years before they start to understand what it is we're talking about. Like you're fine right now. Set the example starting in like five years now Because the internet lasts forever now, you know, I mean like I need to be careful with what I say and do because at some point

Someone will find that video and send it to them. How do we end up here? We're talking about the marlins and how bad there by the way They're still only half way The marlins might not win a game in August. Have you seen the schedule Billy? It's not good. They play the reds today Reds are good the reds are good But Yuri's back. That's really where this whole thing fell apart where they said you know what let's and I need to I need this is bad Like this is bad go ahead and explain to people they wanted to save No, but it's all but explain to people the the economy of the game explain the business of the game I don't know. I think Yuri should be out there because he's doing well

That's that's the business that here's the business Yuri the game i don't know i think you should be out there because he's doing well that's that's the business that use the business you're is their best picture we got a save his arm because we don't want to have them up here too long and he's on an innings count and then is that whole thing of it is it so they sent them down right before the all-star break right and they wanted to save up his arm but that but you know what that he's pitching all these innings in the minor league so his arms still being used have those innings be pitched in the major league Billy has no time for saving arms. I have absolutely no time for save arms were done maddenly was here

That's exactly right taking a guy out because we're trying to protect his health. Yeah, Billy has no time We're all those healthy arms that we saved might I ask just where is this collection of healthy Arms that we've been saving over the years sandy and his oos our aces. Oh please get out of here And what about all the other ones that we save? We've been saving over the years. Sandy and Hizus are aces. Oh, please get out of here. And what about all the other ones that we saved? Where's the Volstad arm that we were saving? All these other shit-pitcher arms that we've been saving for all these years? I haven't seen any of these arms.

We don't use any of these arms because we're always saving them and they were just saving them for other teams. And we're saving them for them to be bust-pitchers. How about Yuri's hot? Let's keep them up in the majors. Because things have fallen. They've gone from 14 games over 500 to four games over 500. Very quickly.

Very quickly. I think they're like five and like 8,000 since the All Star break. It's insane. And this Ryan Weathers, don't get me started on him. I don't care if his daddy used to pitch for this team. His daddy wasn't that good either. Okay?

And I'm not here to take shots as well. He wasn't that good either. I don't understand. Okay. And if you're gonna have that shots But this isn't that good either. I don't know. Okay, and if you're gonna have that long hair cut You need to pitch better. I don't I think the Hugo juice the barber for the more He's like go out there and start shaving people's heads because we're not gonna be going out there with all this crazy long-ass Hair if you're pitching like shit. Sorry. I don't I don't know the long hair. I don't understand back to the minor leagues baseball Bum anymore when what happened to composer for your daughters?

What have you got five years I told them he's fun. Yeah, Puck I don't understand how everyone hits him. I don't understand why he's not one of the greatest the greatest clothes I've ever seen. He was for like the first three months. It was great. It was 97 from the left side, but what I'm saying I don't Robertson's also been a disaster.

What's going on with these pictures? I don't understand this part of the sport. I wish to save the arms. I don't have anyone. Whether's everything he throws is 97, but he gets behind in the count. And he allows more base runners than he does by a lot than innings. And everything I'm watching yesterday is Rangers off the wall, Rangers over the wall.

Every pitch he throws and they just leave him out there because they're like, ah, our boat pins used up and go ahead, just get pelted and make Billy insane because I'm guessing. Why did he pitch for three innings, I'm guessing. I'm guessing you quit because Soriano started and he's not a starter. They, he was doing fine.

He had one bad pitch, three over, but he was alright. But why did they pitch him? Just take him out. You gave up that game. They quit on that game. They were five-nothing, and then they just let it go, and then you keep him out there for three-team. They didn't quit that game.

They quit on that game. Right up until whether he was managing is if it were a playoff game. He was managing that game in the fifth inning like it was a playoff game. Yeah, but then they tied the game and said, eh, never mind. Then they let go of the bathroom.

Exactly for three innings. That's right. They have a three innings for some reason. They give up on that game. And then the offense came back, this bell, I like him. I hope he sticks around. Not that Heath felt, God, that guy was just like that. I thought you would like burger just because I like burger too.

No, the hitters have been working out. The pitching acquisition so far. You guys say more. I'd really rather you didn't. You have no composure. You're the one who cares about the marlins around here too much. And now you're broken, right? Because they gave you a little bit of hope. Come on. I'm not. They're so happy. Have a game of the playoffs. Still, still still turn things around. But Billy, these teams are so much better than they are. Yeah. Like some of these sit when they run into the Baltimore in Texas, not that they have to see them in the National League.

But they would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series.

They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series.

They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. They would have to see them to the World Series. If you're not buying the brain, so is your body. Regga was seasoned good. The brains are gonna mark my words. They will break. They will break. They will break. First or second round of the playoffs, they're gonna flame out. It's gonna be a whole thing. They're gonna, you know what I mean?

They'll be able to be able to. Okay, but yeah, well said all segment. But I'm pretty sure I have it right. I'm not exaggerating when I say the brains have outscored the Marlins something like 97 to 9. I guarantee you the brains won't do that to the Marlins something like 97 to do it in a nine or something. I guarantee you a couple of outside of game. Garen to you, the braids won't do that to the Marlins this October. Mm-hmm.

Because the Marlins won't be there. Garen to you won't happen. I've never been in this position before just to watch this wobbly ball roll downhill that is Billy. It's just like, it's just all over the place. The Yankees are coming up. They're going to write the ship with the Yankees. The Yankees are a disaster.

The last place, the Yankees are a disaster. Are they not a disaster? How the hell do you have Anthony Rizzo out there for a concussion for a month and a half and no one's like huh something seems off about him. Did you see he's got cost for two months. Did you see how he got concussed? He got concussed with Tateesh just going into first base standing up hits Rizzo in the head ruins the Yankees season because his numbers before that and after that they've had a player who's totally loopy not being able to hit a baseball but at the time

he was stumbling all over the base pass and no one said that he had a concussion they find out three months later that's a thing like I guess in hindsight obviously you see the video now and it's like wow like something's clearly off about him after that he the his glove falls off he's just like wandering around on the field. Like, it looks really bad after he was diagnosed with a concussion, but he was just there for like a month or whatever, playing through that, how? Poorly.

And Aaron Boone, oh God. I can't wait till he gets fired. I've had a thing with Aaron Boone for a year and a half now since that Miguel Cabrera incident last year that everyone can remember that I don't need to remind you of what I will if you want. No, thank you. Intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera in Detroit when he was trying to get his hit number 3,000 last step out of a game to lay my trip in Detroit three extra days because then there was a rain delay when it didn't even rain we don't even get

to start on Detroit. Insane. I've never before seen that. Didn't even rain, rain delay. They canceled the game then I have to figure out I get tickets for college sheets and giggles is out thousands of dollars as a result of that What a fool that guy was sponsoring that trip. Thank you though Stugan he's rolling down. I have an idea for a metal art giveaway if you like it then we can get to that at another time trips from sheets and giggles No, here's how it works, right? Okay. You want to hear it then? Yeah, okay? Go see Taylor Swift in concert with Billion, his family sponsored by Metal Arc Media. I will choose me. A listener of my choosing will come with me and my family to see Taylor Swift in concert. Could that person be related

to me? How are you going to get tickets? There's a criscoat package to involved with this. How are you going to get tickets? It's the most impossible. Well, I've heard tens of thousands of people outside the stadium singing with her song. Yeah, correct I that will not be us. It's not gonna help you get to we will not be doing that I'll tell you this I've already started the groundwork on this because Taylor announced there's gonna be an extension of this air is tour It's gonna be coming to Miami for three days in October 2024 which is insane like come on. I don't even know if I'm gonna be alive by that

So in 2024 Taylor's coming back, but you have to join this whole, like, online raffle thing where you go on, you put your email and then you pick days that you maybe wanna go and then, tomorrow's the day that they send you the email, potentially with a code that tells you if you'll be allowed to enter the room

where you may or may not be able to buy tickets. It's trying to get people that actually wanna go to the concert tickets. It's trying to avoid all these big companies getting all the tickets. Wait a second, but the code guarantees you, it doesn't guarantee you tickets, it guarantees you a chance at tickets. Percent. 100%.

This is like their solution to the problem that they caused earlier this year, right? So, I thought, you know what? People love to, this has been a huge thing. Billion dollars, have you seen Dan, She's been giving away $50 million in bonuses to the people that work on her show, taking notes on that one. Seriously, just kidding. Swift is overrated.

Oh my God. Oh my God. It can be very careful. Oh my God, what are you doing? What are you doing? Me? What? What are you doing?

I'm sorry, Montgomery thing got me a little excited. I got high on my hog. Let me get down off my hog. My bad pile of jazz tailor in all the Swifties. My bad America, Tereswift might be the best entertainer since Michael Jackson. Well, since Elvis Presley. Wow.

Does that work? You guys like that? Yeah. If your DMs are not closed, you need to close them right now. Anybody scared it out? What are you talking about? Everyone needs to be. Should be.

You can't come after Taylor Swift's, Swiftie, she's a good boy. That would be like a death by a thousand cuts, right? Like it's not like one, one, one, one, Swiftie will come and end you. That's like, it's just like a group thing. You would be like killed by a herd of people. I went after her a couple of years ago, and I'm fine.

Like no one seemed to have an issue with it. No, you are not, you need not be a pioneer in these places. No one needs to follow you into the wreckage. If you want to go ahead and do it now when it's more current, see what take your chances. But I have never in my life a dull-door child seeing a situation where a ticket is so hard to get that tens of thousands of people are outside of stadiums

just so they can be near and sing along to the songs. That's not something I've ever seen. I don't know what second place would be for me on the hardest ticket to get in America, but she is coming to Miami and people are totally insane. It's Bihl Mania. She was in LA this weekend and I was in LA this weekend. I couldn't even rent a car.

There were no cars left in Los Angeles because everyone was there for Taylor Swift. It was crazy. Should I have said that I wanted to go to the one in Indianapolis like with that of Better The odds? Look, here's the thing, it doesn't matter because metal like a sponsoring the Sanyway. So I'm just trying to get the tickets on the cheap.

Yeah, I'm trying to get the tibets the right way on the cheap, a face value. But if not, then we're just gonna have to do second market and we'll figure it out, right? But again, this is the second market. There is no second market. There is a second market. You pay tickets. Yeah, you do You just pay an exorbitant amount of money for those tickets. I'm trying to save you Dan this money ultimately because you're in charge of this company The answer is on tour. That's way better. I'd rather it be on site, but the tickets are Taylor Swift 10,000 there we go, two good choice

That's two that's the name Don Lebert hard.. I think Larry Fitzgerald's on the green right there Stougatz that's how funds are repair Alfonso repair as a great ass.

Oh my god. This stew. God's thing is real It's a it's a real thing. It's not he's playing

this person. No, he's this person. And I saw it spread over the faces of Lucy and Charlotte and they were both uphold and delighted because of how funny it is. Thank you. Because of how funny it is. It's a secret sauce, man. It's gross and great. All at the same time. I appreciate it. It made me respect you more and less. Oh, thank you. That's what I'm going for.

So, Dominique, do you know anything about this? Because I came in today and I said to everybody, can you guys please surprise me with whatever the sound is today from WFAT because listening in last time created a popcorn machine here of again total disgust and a prorious laughter because none of us could believe how you didn't even go to flirting with F.A. and you went straight to the f***ing yeah I did like you just got it was going well dad I, in the moment, I felt it and I just unleashed you. I mean, right in front of us, we were all, we were all watching you one leash. We were all listening.

It was wonderful. It's on a crackly AM radio guy. I loved it. Oh, did I miss live radio. I love that, that stew's open and move is not subtle at all. He just walks in. He gets one good sign, but make it What's not just that his first sentence on F.A.N. was the F word. Yep. They're not allowed like it was it was my seventh word on a show that I was not filling in on I mean the F word

Let's just play that sound from W F a.N. Stuccoats is here. Great. Maybe he can come in and then I'll bring it over to your points. Hello, sir. Hi. Are you here? It's 345 Hutsune.

Yes, sir. It's like a case. I knew that was a hadady. You didn't know you were on. Did you think you were tied? No, I had no idea I was on. That was the number I was given to call when I got to the building. And who answers their phone when they're on the air?

I mean, in my defense, what is Al Dugeste doing? I like the thing of John Weiner as just a normal person who's really into sports and has great sports opinions and information and stays on top of things. But then sometime 20 years or so, like organism, like a symbiote of some kind, like got into his bloodstream and then started to take over. And I think there's no John left.

It's all stew got this happens. This happens. Dominic, you've seen it in the industry, Dominic. I've seen what Max Callerman and Stephen A Smith and those guys become when their identity becomes that when they become the person who's on television, that's how everyone knows them. Stugots is maximum that. He's that with the throttle like revving.

Listen, he's a cigarette boat, a fraud. Like when he says, I am these guys, he is just in a better and a worse disguise. Nobody's different though, because it's like, it takes over their life and becoming a great like sports Information person opinion is performer. It takes over their life. Stu. What's taking over his life is like this lazy Organism that has crawled in and made his whole body just like He didn't know what you got. He didn't know anything about anything. He didn't know prep

He didn't know anything about anything. He didn't know prep. I didn't. Well, maybe in the sound that I heard there didn't when you said I haven't watched the Yankee games since opening day. That's why he's doing better than they are. Which also isn't true. You did not watch opening day. You're right. Those guys go home and actually watch sports. You guys just got to figure it out. I can be them at work and then I go home. And then why you don't like it. It's just masterful. What he's doing right now, too. Like we're going at work and then I go home. And that's why it's just masterful what he's doing right now too. Like we're going through this and then he just punctuated. It's that every now and then with what?

Yeah. That's perfect. It's perfect. It's so well. Not this beautiful. I told somebody, oh, somebody texted me from Tahoe where he got a hero's welcome and said he confused Aaron Rogers. He didn't know who he was

and and I'm just like he's a first ballot upper room fool Hall of Famer. Like he he wants a bit embarrassed blushing. Is that's a crowding achievement for a coach of viewers. Is that the crowning Stugat's moment? Is that when I'd say yeah, I like that. But you had a whole bunch of people trying to get memorable content in Tahoe. Only one outfit did only one outfit could. The news that broke from Tahoe where Steph Curry cheated to beat Marty Faye. What Stu got's doesn't know what the Jets quarterback looks like. He has failed his way up to WFA and the court jester, a legend, a legend at the bank, a legend at the radio hall of fame. We're not worthy. Billy, why?

What's the matter? Because you're setting it, look, as a responsible adult now father of two. You're setting a very poor example for the use and the industry out there who think that they can do what you do. Only you can get away with this stuff. You know what I mean? I've never suggested to anyone

they can do what I do. I know, but people are gonna start copying you thinking this is a path to success, and it's not. This is a path to unemployment. It's a miracle that you're still where you are today. Thank you, Billy. But do your credit. You're still there. So I have said this what has happened over the last few years of us flailing around trying to figure out how to do this on our own. One of the things that has happened is I lost sight of I thought at one point we had it all mapped out. Stukats was going to climb to the top of ES sp and with his flag of ignorance it wasn't an actual flag

it was just the poll and he was going to embedded in the journalistic head of Mike Wilbond after doing quarterback rankings in Michelle Beatles chest he was going to planted at the top of the network here it is stucats I'm over you all but then we left the sp and what i realized is that this way this thing that is now flailing in the wind with a sphere is coming from my head uh... my like it's going to embedded in my head and it's either gonna puncture the company or he's gonna sort of great riches as the court jester in his fifties who gets to reinvent the way mad dog russo did

well the mba wanted to go to china and so i had to adjust my game and that's what i've done i mean this is why he'd be perfect at wf and our listeners have to start a campaign to to rally around how good stugatz's appearance was going in there lazy and flatulent and dominating the New York airway This seems like you're trying to voice him like you're trying like you figured out This is your way to rid yourself of stugat's is get him employed by WFN Listen if he lands me there. I'm good. I mean voice me all you want, Dano It's his dream job. He left boomer love note. I did there is some new sound

I am told from Chris Cody is this from Friday Chris on WFA and yes, sir Stukat was maximum himself correct stugats. This was the authentically phony version of you. Yes Okay, your most famous number air Rogers. All right. Yeah, I can't touch that there's probably a few others I mean, I cannot touch that he hasn't told me to lose his number. I might have your beat. Really? It's got Jerry Seinfeld, right? Yeah. Really? We know you can't have it, right?

I'll trade you an Aaron Rogers for Jerry Seinfeld. All of that is tempting. Right, because the Farron Rogers is local. I'll be like, I'm in Montclair. May I stop by? Yeah. That's what you would use it for. Not to get him on the job with Geo. You guys, I don't know if the audience heard this the way that I did, but let's be honest,

all right? In creating the mighty Stugots character legend at the bank, there are some laziness that soaks into the doing of this because he's been doing it a long time and as he reminded everybody at F.A. and I've done all your jobs. Ever all of you have done all your job. But there are times that you can still spark the young stugots who was slinging munis to Murray. You can spot him and a life hunger comes forth.

So when Jerry Seinfeld's number makes an appearance in fun of Stugots' groggy and toxicated eyes. I was like 25 again. Listen to the lust in his voice. Really? That! From under the voice to the head he soaks and cigarettes. Really? Yes.

Look at that! That is desire! I can hear the blood rushing out of his brain and down to his nether regions. Really? Jerry Seinfeld, nether regions. Really? Jerry Seinfeld, right? Yeah. Really?

It's the old predator, the hunter in him. Really? The old guest cooker in his 20s wants to get into the business. Really? Because we've had Aron on so many times, I know how badly you wanted Jerry and that's what I was thinking about Oh, that was for Dan for you. It was for Dan Really it's such a predator. It's like in a movie with someone see an opportunity It is the sound of the devil

Desiring really I'll trade my soul for something. Al Pacino, it doubles advocate. That's exactly what it is. Really, really. It is greed manifested and having a voice. Really? That's David Samson, what happens in his mind when he sees an opportunity? Really?

Bob Ross is looking for representation. Really? Oh my god. I was thinking about giving him a fake air and Rochester's number and exchange for the real share. I said it occurred to you that errand did that to you. Listen, I've never really tried it to be honest with really

it is it is it's beyond bedroom talk. It's a demon craving. Honey, it's Sunday night. Really? It's someone has I fell in love with. Your voice has so much life and it though It's not like the coffee flim version that we get it's clean. It's young. It's hungry Really a great radio voice before it got poison really I mean they got boom in my ex 50,000 watts of pure power

New York City and Re-invigorated he went into New York. Yeah, he had sex with New York microphones. Really? I could hop up with Seinfeld. Really? Ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha. I mean, can we see it here, his voice before that,

because I just want to be a little... Yeah, the whole thing. I want the whole thing because the first time I heard the shift in the voice, what the best part. Okay, that's excellent the shift in the voice with the best player. Okay, that's excellent. Thank you because that's so right. What he just said. Your most famous number, Aaron Rogers. All right. Yeah. I can't touch that.

There's probably a few others. I mean, I cannot touch that. And he has to tell me to lose his number. I might have your beat. Really? It's got Jerry Seinfeld, right? Yeah. Really. Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? It's got Jerry Seinfeld, right? Yeah. Really? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
