In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family. And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned from the start, same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned from the start, same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Go to Cuervo.com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.

Cuervo, now's a good time. Trademarks owned by Beclet, SAB, the CV. Copyright 2024, Proximo. Jersey City, New Jersey, please drink responsibly. Greg, we're about to start the show. You shouldn't start the show with a deep inhale through one of those giant nostrils of yours. Because we're about to start.

Breathe before. You shouldn't fiddle with your microphone. This is all going out already. You could put your headset on. Put your headset on. Drops the phone. This is only going gonna get worse right he just he just learned how to turn his phone off I turn it off for him he's got a dumb phone he does not have a smartphone he insists on having the button at the bottom

so it looks like a very old iPhone it's not in very good shape and he had to finally turn it off because I threw it out of the room onto the sofa last week because he didn't know how to turn it down or turn it off. It's kinda aggressive. Childish temper tantrum by you. No doubt. He literally just got a new phone

but requested the one with the button so they had to go back in the Apple store and like just like wait we still have these things and then pulled out I think an iPhone like seven or something. What's wrong with that? So it's a new phone, but only your father buys a new old phone.

Like you bought him a phone. He likes the seven, I mean. I understand that, but he also likes not learning. He also likes not changing. It takes about a day to adjust to not having the button. He is aggressively, both of you are actually, you're both aggressively against learning. I still don't get email on this new phone.

Wow. Can't figure that out. But I do on my PC or whatever it's called. That's good, yeah, computer. Yeah. The way that this room ages is very poor. I am at the center of it. Tuesdays are the worst of it.

I am worried about the other room too though, because Mike Ryan every day, Jeremy and Jessica are saying something to him that makes him sound like a dad. And they just invented another generation this morning that I didn't even know existed. I thought, yeah, there's another generation. I'll get into that with you two in a second.

But I am not used to our environment creating really good ideas. Yesterday you had one with Steph Curry on the $3 bill, inventing a $3 bill with Steph Curry, hands to his face, sleeping, I like that idea. And Jessica's got a great one today. I think everyone would get on board with Jessica's idea. It's a pretty good idea. Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. What kind of laugh was that? Do you want to tell Greg Cody your idea? Do you want to, because I think both him and Stegata. Don't tell him, save it for the audience. I'm saving this for YouTube, Dan-o. But this is the audience.

This is, we're talking to the audience right now. I thought we were just like, getting to know each other. News to Greg. So you are just putting it, you're gonna embargo it for later in the show when I just told Greg how important it is that this part of the show he'd be paying attention. You're gonna embargo the idea for later in the show?

You save the good stuff for when the cameras are rolling. Yep. Greg right now is looking around super confused. Are we on the air or are we not on the air? Do I have an iPhone 7 or do I have a rotary phone? Dad explain how we're on air right now. Explain it. I mean people are talking into mics. Somebody must be listening. Yeah, that's all I know. Yeah, give me that idea if it's that good. It's a good idea. You're gonna like the idea. But the cameras are not yet rolling. See this is just an audio only experience. This is a warm-up.

This is our calisthenics before we go on a two-hour... Let's all stretch. Do people actually know that we do this? Which part? The talking before YouTube. Is this just like a little secret for the people that are pre-gaming and tailgating with us? Because we've never mentioned on main show that this is something that we're doing. This is what I'd like to get better at.

It's a Kornheiser trick. He did it at the advent of the internet He was only on the radio and then he would talk privately to his most unique audience During the breaks in the shadows in a place where you're not getting aggregated people don't even know what the hell it is, right? But I think even like the YouTube audience has us on mute until the cameras go on like I think that we've probably done this For 37 people total. That's fine. And those 37 are my favorite inside jokesters who will say it to me in the street.

Really? Yeah, because you're- Your top 37 listeners, huh? Yes, our top 37 listeners. They're the most loyal on the most inside of the stupidest of the jokes. But yes, I'd like to do this in the shadows a little bit more before the show starts.

But Greg Cody is confused. We're gonna start the shadows a little bit more before the show starts, but Greg Cody is confused. We're going to start the show and he's going to be disoriented. That's the best Greg Cody. Welcome to Greg Cody Tuesday. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. Greg Cody, are you aware of what it is that Jeremy, this is a yes or no question, don't give away the answer. Are you aware of what jeremy is doing today i asked him who he was okay you know i am aware and i write you asked him he told you and then you now know who he's in a costume of students do you know who he uh... jeremy is dressed as today tony finaa uh... welcome back uh... jeremy i hope that everybody is happy to have jeremy

back i can't say it with a great deal of conviction. I suspect he will unleash an assortment of truly terrible puns here. Do you know, Stugat, you wanna take a second guess on who? It's Nafi now. Who do you think Jeremy is dressed as today? Jeremy generally dresses better than this. Jason Day. Okay, so we're not gonna get a good answer here.

He does look like an unsuccessful PGA Tour player. He does, very unsuccessful. Somebody they wouldn't let into the country club. Somebody who's been banned because he thinks he's as good as the other golfers and they've already told him he's 20 strokes worse than they are. Jessica, you have a good idea for us

where we are allowed, I know that you and the rest of us missed the Olympics already, and I know you have a lot of Olympic opinions that have not yet been given, but you wanna now merge, you've got a great idea in August that merges the Olympics and football in a way that I believe Stu Gatz and Greg Cody will endorse. Let's find out together. Bronze medal game for the third place winner

of the NFL season the losers of the AFC and NFC championship games play each other for a bronze could they be as happy as Jokic was winning a bronze now these two are on record as saying worth it's worthless to win a bronze finishing in third places for losers you're just the second loser I'd rather see the worst two teams in the NFL play a game the week before the Super Bowl for the first pick in the NFL draft, that's just me. But don't the staffs already get to coach in the Pro Bowl?

How much more reward do they need? It's not just reward, we need to ravage those human bodies just a little bit more for a game that matters even less than the Super Bowl. But if you put it after the Super Bowl people will be more interested in it certainly than anything Pro Bowl related if you put it before if you put it before the Super Bowl people would be a hell of a lot more interested than anything Super Bowl related if you put like you put the Super Bowl out

three weeks and you play the third place game first. Stugarts you would watch a Lions-Ravens game last season for third place. I know you would watch it. Yeah, because I bet on it. I mean, so I guess that's a good thing. Otherwise, I don't care who wins the game. Like, I don't care who the third best team in the NFL is. Yeah, players wouldn't care either. I've heard a similar theory that you have a game going on there, but it's like the two worst teams in the NFL and they actually play for the right to have the number one pick The winner gets it and that's a way to like avoid tanking

I'll pay By the way, this is a poncho wait, I look oversized. I just said it and your response was good idea I mean, I don't know what just happened there. That's a fine for me then it was super confusing older It's very clear to me. Is it Chappellrone or Chappellrone or Chappellrone? All right, you are going to have to go to the penalty box. I don't think that's a fine or I don't think that's just a fine. I don't know why it is.

We've got a major penalty five minutes derailing. I want to answer the question. Chapel. Chapel round. Jessica and Mike have made Mike, I'm sorry, Jessica and Jeremy have made Mike very old this morning because they were talking about this video that Jessica described. What's the toilet video? What is it? Are we really gonna do this, Dan? I don't think you wanna do this right now.

Well, I don't know what it is. I don't understand what's popular here. Look, if I don't understand it, Sugatsa and Greg Cody are gonna feel even older at what is a viral stupid video as everyone in the information age tries to get eyeballs and some stupid toilet videos now grabbed everyone

10 through 20 years old. Skibbity toilet, Dan. Skibbity toilet, that's the big one for Gen Alpha. They love it. Skibbity toilet. Gen Z a little bit, Gen Alpha really loves it. That's not how generations work. Yes it is.

No, that's way too soon to have another Gen. Started in 2010. Why are you still here? Because I think I'm necessary for this. Honestly, like you guys, I'm old enough as it is, you guys responding to the viral video, like I think I can help. This is also a viral video from like two years ago,

which is the best part. That's why it's great. Delayed penalty. You guys got it in our zone. No, but I don't want you here during this. All right, treat yourself. You need them here, you need them here. I've got lines, but all right.

Treat yourself. Terrible what we're watching. You've got lines? It's been a hungry dream. I was prepared for this after, I have a huge issue. Have a huge issue, number one, with another, I don't know what the hell I'm watching is right now.

There used to be gatekeepers when it came to viral videos. You used to have to earn it. Now all of a sudden, a girl says four words into A microphone and she's being interviewed by Bill Maher This is bullshit Bill Maher didn't interview the grape lady. She didn't he didn't interview shoes Oh my god shoes or leave Brittany alone or chocolate rain guy Charlie Do you understand if Charlie bit me happened today, he would have a brand and a Dogecoin.

This is, you kids have ruined everything. Gatekeepers are good things. It used to be a good thing to have to go to E-bomb's world to see what was popular. Now just you tick tock away and you got a t-shirt deal and it's unfair. All right, I'll go serve my penalty. All right.

The audience must be so confused. What happened this morning was Jeremy told us he came back from camp with a lot of Gen Alpha children. Yeah, that's right. And they taught him a lot of new phrases. And one of the phrases which we'll get to in his top five sparked a conversation about this video that went viral on YouTube a couple years ago

that somehow came into my algorithm not that long ago and is now getting a treatment from Michael Bay. They're going to turn it into a feature film. So then, of course, now this goes into the mainstream and until now, probably the only people that have heard of this thing are people with young children or children themselves or the people, the campers at Jeremy's camp.

Feature film. It really pissed off Mike Ryan to find out there was a Jet Alpha. You don't, a Jet Alpha, I'll get to that in a second, but you don't get a feature film because you go viral. There are steps in this process. You go viral, and then you go on Tosh.0 to do a web redemption.

And if that goes viral, then we can start talking about Hollywood. You don't go straight to Michael Bay. Michael Bay is top of the food chain. Why is Michael Bay interested in the stupidity of this video and why is it that Jeremy is bringing in something two years old from 12 year olds? It's not two years old for them, Dan. It's two years old in terms of a video, but there is no phrase that I heard more than skibbity toilet, than skibbity toilet Riz, than skibbity Toilet Riz, than Skibbity Riz Ohio Riz,

or just Skibbity Toilet on Ohio Riz? I can't be the only one that thinks this sounds like super stupid, right? No, you're not the only one. No, it's like, is John Woo doing a movie on hide your kids, hide your wife? This is appealing to the generation, and there will be a couple of, well, all future generations

are not going to know what cursive looks like, are not going to know how to write cursive and all future generations are not going to need to know how to read, right? So this is the first of those generations grown up on the stupidity of how videos just sort of addict you and make your brain rot and your eyes glaze over, but you won't have to learn how to read. I was a couple of generations early, huh? You were, you're a visionary, you're a pioneer that way.

My daughter's still learning to read. That's still happening. All right. But this is, am I wrong about this? This is, if we're going to, if we're gonna create another generation already at 12 years old, that generation's gonna be addicted to a phone smarter than the one Greg Cody brought in here,

right? Right. It depends on what they're showing up on YouTube. Like, my daughter asked me, she just makes up words because she saw it in like a Russian YouTube video and she's like, what's a nutria? I'm like, what are you talking about? She's like, that's the water in your stomach.

I'm like, I'll look that up. I don't think so. Is Gen Alpha now a thing? Is that officially so? Yeah, it's born between 2010 and 2024. So literally there's Bar Mitzvah boys out there who were part of Gen Alpha. So we're giving it like a hurricane name

instead of a letter. Why are they Alpha and not Beta? Because this is real Beta energy. Why do they get to be Alpha? Because it goes from Z to Alpha. I don't think so. Why can't they just be 14? Why do they have to have a name? You don't get to be alpha? It goes from z to alpha. I don't think so. Why can't they just be 14? Why do they have to have a name? You don't get to make that up.

I don't think they get to be a generation yet. Wait, do generations get to name themselves? Because Tom Brokaw called his generation the greatest generation. I'm like, that's mighty convenient. No, it was though. My dad's generation. The Brokaw generation. No, my dad's generation was the greatest generation. There's no doubt.

You do have a point there. It's true. Frank Sinatra. Wait a minute. Is Brokaw, how old is, how old? Tom Brokaw? Was, question mark. Whoa.

Wait, hold on, Brokaw's still with us, isn't he? It's a question mark. Terrible news today as I've passed away according to down what before yeah he's not a different generation than Greg Cody it's a great answer yes he is yeah he's the greatest generation I came after that I'm here right my generation are you a baby boomer am I a boomer I think you're a boomer I think I might have been one year too late to be a boomer what know how old you are what is the year difference between generations what's the number is it i i've always thought of it as twenty years between generations

not fourteen so it's between fifteen and twenty years usually the greatest generation was actually born between nineteen oh one in nineteen twenty seven so broke out that doesn't apply to him it's the generation before him again i'd just simply want to get this right. The reason it's a generation is because we're assuming that that you're having kids at 16, 17, 18. So therefore the difference between the generations has to be 16, 17, 18 years, which would put Gregreg cody in bro cause generation if he's within fourteen years possibly am i wrong do i have this

incorrect are you saying that your dad's generation is the greatest generation what i think you might be saying your generation is the greatest generation generations are separated by twenty one years so you know what they're all kind it's kind of all socially constructed to begin with but baby boomers were the generation born after world war two during the baby boom when there was a humongous population. Including me. That would be Greg Cody. Yeah, that's true. Brokaw was born prior to the boomers, which makes him the greatest generation, along with my dad, Wild Bill Cody, and Frank Sinatra.

At first I thought you said and Frank and Frank was pretty good too you owe five dollars for coughing you've been racking up fines and you're not paying any of them so you owe you I gave you a hundred dollar euro a few weeks ago you gave me a ten dollar euro you gave me a ten dollar zero on it. And then I passed it over to Jessica because she's been getting all of the fine money. Yo her about $45 so you can Venmo it to her

because you gotta start. Venmo. Ha ha. Venmo. You think he knows how to do that? Venmo. I'll write her a check is what I'll do. That a boy. That a boy.

I'll get her a money order. I'll take it. Hey, I'll get a money order from the bank. Guys, I'm a millennial, I know how to deposit a check. Do you think if Don't Taze Me Bro happened today, Lin-Manuel Miranda would have to write a musical about it? Do you have cash on you? I got a lot of cash. All right, give me, you owe for a bunch of coughing and an assortment of things, In the NFL, there is no margin for error.

See store for details. Don LeBattard. Surely, every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing that she married Larry David. Yeah, I do. Yeah. He is one of the great characters in the history of television, in my humble opinion. And to my credit, my personality-

In my humble opinion, followed by to my credit. To my credit, my personality does predate Curve Your Enthusiasm. Stugats! Oh wow. I'm not going to say Larry David patterned himself after me. Alright, put it on the poll please, Jude. You did Greg Cody copyright Being an Asshole long before Larry David. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats. ["Dunn-Levatar Show Theme Song"]

Jessica, I'm surprised they don't like your idea around here. They don't connect with you. I'm really sad. I mean, like, what was the, like, I know the players wouldn't be into it. Yeah, okay, we can like talk about- That's kind of a big deal, though.

You can talk about all the- The players not wanting to do it. Oh, that's a serious big deal. I mean, you're a free agent. Why would you of a big deal though. We can talk about all the- Yeah, right. All the serious- Having your free agent, why would you play in that game? I mean, get injured. But like, from just a pure fanfic perspective, can we just go down the road?

Like, we don't have to bring all the actual realities into it. No, but all you gotta do is incentivize it. If none of the stuff about human bodies matters in the football we're watching, we can make a third place game and attach stakes to it somehow, and then everyone will get invested. The stakes just have to matter. Why make a third place game and attach stakes to it somehow, and then everyone will get invested.

The stakes just have to matter. Why not a last place game? Because there are times that will be years, Dan, where the first player in the draft is so valuable that more players, more people will watch that game than the actual Super Bowl. Okay, now that is- I mean, you're playing for Caleb Williams.

Great idea. That is for the fans, and that is just for the fans. But if you also made it for the players and worried at all about safety what you could do jessica is you can make the third place game right we were so excited all of us were so excited look at how much these professional athletes care gerand cares uh... you'll get your cares they care more about this than the pros you gotta put money on the table to make them care you gotta give them a few million dollars

so that it's so that everyone else is so everyone Yeah, put steak look fewer stakes than the Super Bowl game, but put stakes on it Put delays rib eyes put all the stakes on the table flank play for meat No, what they should do is have the two teams with the two worst records Play and the winner of that game gets the overall number one Get out what they should do. All right, get out then you've got stakes. All right, get out Steve Martin you go sit with my crying Don't miss go sit Mike right go sit with Mike Ryan while you're out there winner The winner gets not only the number one draft pick but a fine marble river. Right, right. Tomahawk. Yes. Yeah.

Oh, all right. I just thought Stigoss was gonna like, maybe like screw around talking about 2020 Bills Packers with me, but apparently like, oh wait, we have to talk about all the serious ramifications of playing an extra game. Like yeah, I agree with all of that.

We're doing a thing here, guys. I know we're doing a thing. I'm all for an extra game. I'm all for more football. I'm just presenting a better idea, my opinion. Let's do both of those right it all works Okay, Jessica. I'm sorry to do this to you, but you're not allowed to tell people that we're doing a thing That's not something we do on this show so Major penalty five minutes rooming comedy.

Just me, you, Chris and Jason day. All right. Ray gun is what Jeremy is doing in the corner there. And now that you've made a couple of jokes, can you, can you please tell me what you think? Ray gun is because boy. Yeah, I don't know man ray gun. I mean, I don't know Because like the viral thing was not her name, you know, I mean like no more just knew it by looking No, I don't think this is the thing with Stu gots. All right, I've made fun of him. You got a star tracker I don't know. I made fun of Stu gots yesterday because he Pretended that something from the Olympics stirred him so much that he cared about sports and things again

And what I've been frustrated frustrated about the last two weeks with Stu gots is he wanted to talk about this Jordan Childs controversy so he did like three minutes of research he said her name wrong and then while everyone's talking about it he whispers in my ear the song watching the games because he's watched them poorly and and he's got like just very tangential information on everything that's happening here. And it's a little bit difficult to do a show this way with somebody like this when he knows about this much about things and when he researches them, he sings me a song that interrupts what I'm saying. Watching the games.

I appreciate it. He's trying, man. What Jeremy is doing. It's August. What Jeremy is doing. Yes Jeremy is doing, yes it's August but everybody really enjoyed the Olympics. Everybody was, I can't believe it. I don't blame you for being surprised by it. It's not something that has happened very recently in our lives. Like it's been a generation since people seem to care about the Olympics the way they cared about these. Stugats, I did not imagine a scenario where america would gather around the

television to watch sports because they need some sort of blessed relief of action escapism all day in in this respects to god for wherever it is the people have assigned bitterness to me because he has been made a choice. ESPN made a very smart business choice to get all the politics out of there and it wasn't politics it was just journalists who were talking about race and serious

socioeconomic things but it wasn't politics and he just ran everybody off it's a good business decision to just hey hey America in fact their focus group show them this their folk they I man the number of times i heard at the end there no man they just want to see football get out of here with all the other sure stuff nbc and peacock just gave that to you for two weeks at it shortly after a presidential assassination attempt

and people like just give me sugar, just give me cotton candy, just let me escape over here for two weeks in the middle of summer while not a lot of other major stakes stuff is happening in sports, and give me stakes every day, all day, give it to me for two weeks.

People went back to sports and genuflected before the blessed relief of, can you please just take me away from my real life for two weeks? Because things kind of suck everywhere. People tried to ruin it too. They really tried. They really tried by mixing up deities and genders. They really tried to ruin this one, but none of it mattered. Nobody stopped watching. Fewer people congratulated Simone Biles as really like the only thing that ended up happening, but not fewer people watching.

It was actually wonderful, and it gave me hope. I want to go back to a time, many of you will not know the name Eddie the Eagle from the Olympics, but it was colossal epic failure in skiing in the Winter Olympics. And he became a name that resonated more than most from that time two generations ago. Ski jumping, big difference.

That's correct, yes, forgive me, ski jumping. Watching the games. Yes, excellent, he was, last time he watched him was about when Eddie the Eagle was ski jumping. Is that the Muppet? Is that the Muppet? Is that the Muppet? No, it's Sam the Eagle. That looks like Anderson Cooper.

That's Sam the Eagle. Regardless, he was an epic failure. And Ray Gunn, I'm wondering if from these Olympics, Ray Gunn, the breaker who lost 54 to nothing because she was a generation removed from when, the the best athletes in breaking the young athletes in breaking and a lot of people thought she made a fool of herself dancing poorly doing a t-rex doing what I said

yesterday was a five-year-old what they would do when they say watch this daddy just flopping around on the ground are Are we going to make a movie out of her? Because she's going to resonate more in 20 years than the other Olympians, because we love success. But epic failure is also something that we love to laugh at. Oh, she's five minutes away from an NFT, no doubt. What I love is there is presently a conspiracy theory

floating around about ray gun and the entire breaking competition at the Olympics, saying that, which is true, the group that... You out of breath. Yeah, I've been dancing a lot. From kangaroo dancing? Yes, I've been break dancing for 20 minutes. He's been doing Ray Gun for 20 minutes, yeah. I'm just really exhausted.

You sound like Taylor around a microphone. But the committee that decided to put breaking for 20 minutes. No, I'm just really exhausted. You sound like Taylor around a microphone. But the committee that decided to put breaking in the Olympics is actually a committee that organizes more ballroom dancing competitions. And apparently, originally the IOC was considering potentially putting ballroom dancing as the competition in the Olympics. And so, there are conspiracy theories now that Ray Gun was sent by Australia to purposefully sabotage the breaking competition

by going viral for being bad because Australia is more known for ballroom dancing than break dancing. So they sent someone to make the competition look like a joke so that breaking will never be back in the Olympics and ballroom dancing can take over. That's the popular conspiracy right now.

It was already decided that it was gonna be one and done before the ray gun phenomenon. Well, but they might lobby to bring it back. Why? This thing was terrible. I know we mentioned this briefly yesterday, but breaking really under delivered on everyone's hopes and expectations.

We thought it would go viral, but it went viral for the wrong reasons. Well, that's the point. It went viral for Ray Gun. There were really good competitors as well. Like the best of the best were amazing in that competition. I mean I thought it was pretty whack. I didn't like it. I didn't like it. The music was really bad and I think you need good music to go with good dancing. It just, none of it popped.

It kinda, in theory I like the idea, I'm all for like an Olympic Games of, Games that aren't conventional. Throw cornhole in there, that's all fun. This wasn't fun, it was kinda, you would flip to it and you would be bored really quickly because you need good music for this stuff to work. That's why, if Breakin' and Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo had bad royalty-free music, it would not be the sensation it became. Everyone knows the names Turbo and Ozone, right, Jess? Breaking 2 Electric Boogaloo is not something I expected to hear today.

Thank you for bringing it to us. Was it Turbo or Ozone that did the thing with the broom? Because that was dope. Turbo. What about skibbity toilet? Do you expect to hear that today? On skibbity. If you freeze it, you can see the string on the broom, which kind of ruins the magic.

Greg Cody, I feel like you've got opinions here. There are things that you want to say. Well, you know, I brought up Fat Man pole vault a couple of weeks ago and everyone laughed at me. You need more weird things in the Olympics. You need silly events, you know, produce aisle shot put, for example, like on the Greg Cody show. Great idea. You gotta have ridiculous events, you gotta have obese people, you gotta have things that that are unusual enough with good athletes. Come on

Lot has changed over the years listening audience. Hey, it's Mike Ryan one thing that hasn't the great taste of Miller light Now, you know over the course of our history doing this show Miller lights kind of been there for the vast majority of it And I have been a very public-facing fan of the beverage why well That's been up for debate for a long time, pretty much since 1975. But one thing that is not up for debate? The undebatable quality and great taste of Miller Lite. The fact that it is only 96 calories. This is a beer that strips everything away that you don't need and holds on to what matters most. Less filling, great taste. A light beer that tastes like beer. You don't

have to choose what you like best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time.

Joe Chestnut's a fraud. Oh, he's on fire. He called Connor McDavid overrated before the show. What the hell was that, Greg? I love it. Stugats. Roy, let me explain it to you. You know more about hockey than I do.

And this is coming from a guy that's watched Connor play six times right if that This is the down Libertar show with his two guards Greg Cody's only interest in that first segment was getting a plug-out on his podcast and the produce aisle Shotput Olympic event that he and his son did That by the way, I want you guys when I say that Greg Cody is against learning Okay, I was not trying to get him with a hard network out there I gave him the show with 30 seconds left Yeah, and he was so proud of himself for noticing that he stopped thinking about how he was gonna end the segment with something Funny or good he was just gonna be proud after all these years

that he walked us right up to the ending without thinking, oh, the point here is to be clever at the end and give people the punctuation. Instead, all he did was, instead of dismounting, come on, because he knew exactly where the clock was. But that time, I wasn't trying to trick him. If I was trying to trick him,

I would've done it with eight seconds left, or five seconds left left not 30 seconds left You just say after the thing the show Dan like is this should you be saying? That I've seen thus far I We've got a penalty five minutes major asshole Major asshole Did he just call himself a major asshole he just gave himself a penalty for being a major asshole I think it's a little harsh. Yeah. Yeah, it's a little harsh not inaccurate but harsh What is going on with your with your Olympic Games with Christopher?

You know what? We're coming down to the wire. We've had eight events. He's won five, I've won three. And we've got two events next week. If I win them both, there will be a one event Olympic off to see who wins the Father Son Olympics. So I'm coming on big.

I'm rallying and we're gonna be there. The last episode was the shot put of produce items. Because my dad is older than I am, we handicapped it by giving me a bigger item. You got a watermelon? So I got a watermelon and he has a cantaloupe. Tune in this week to see who can shot put. You have to shot put a watermelon?

Yeah. Are you gonna do the full spin with the footwork and everything? You're gonna have to find out. I think we just tweeted out the video though, if you wanna watch that. We can't shot put a watermelon. Yeah, are you gonna do the full spin with like the footwork and everything? You know, you're gonna have to find out I think we just tweeted out the video though If you want to we shot put a watermelon you can't do it. Well, yeah, you can and the rule was you can't throw it You know, you can't write Javelin throw you have to push it like a heave it like a javelin. We're familiar with it Yeah, we're familiar with javelin in the track and field events at the Olympics, by the way,

I think this was the first time I've ever watched it because everything was on Peacock and you could just watch the track and field feed. They usually don't show that in prime time. So I was watching these Olympic javelin throwers for the first time. Did you guys see how they would like heave it before they got to the line

and then fall forward onto their hands? Like they threw it so hard that they would like fall onto all fours. It was crazy. Because they're not allowed to go past the line kind of thing? Yeah, you can't go past the line. So some of them would go up to the line and then chuck it.

You can land past the line, right? No, that's the thing. You can't cross the line at all. So if you want to put your whole body into it, you have to release it from further away so you can give your space to land before the line. Flying forward, then they'd land on their hands and the javelin would go all the way down a football field.

You know what shocked me about the Anfield event, said if it's raining, they don't really suspend them. No. It's just another obstacle for these athletes to overcome. Right. Which honestly seems really dangerous. Yeah, I think. Because the hammer throw in particular,

it's a very slick surface, and you add water to it. Right. People can get seriously hurt doing this stuff. They're handling weapons out there. Yes! I mean, seriously. What a weird event. Why are we throwing hammers? Hammer throw and discus are probably the two scariest things

to try. Your son threw a watermelon! Well, but. Where do the judges stand? Well, so they have the net, so I assume that if it's off to the side, it just goes into the net, and it won't actually hit someone. But yeah, they're all the way out in the field. I also, Billy.

What are they judging, really? Because it's just like, it's on tape measure guy, really. Well, I think it's electronic now. For like, long jump and triple jump is all done with like VAR. I don't know, discus and hammer throw and shot put. But Billy and I were talking about this last week, so the pole vaulters have to bring their own poles to the Olympics and to meets and stuff like that. And they're like insanely long

and heavy. And some airlines don't let you fly with your pole. So you have to book certain airlines. And it's becoming like more and more expensive to pole vault now because you can't get your pole. Some people stash their poles in Europe for all the European meets because they can't bring their poles overseas. Why aren't there collapsible poles, like pool cues? Probably because you don't want it to collapse while you're pole vaulting. I would guess it's like you type it in. You lock it in, right.

Yeah, you screw it in the pool. Dude, when someone shows up to the pool hall with one of those, get out of the way. Yeah, seriously. You're toast. Are you? You're toast. If someone assembles a pool cue in front of you, I don't know what we just agreed to, I'm outta here. Yeah, seriously. You're toast. Are you? You're toast. Really?

If someone assembles a pool cue in front of you, like I don't know what we just agreed to, I'm outta here. Also? That's a shark. Nerd alert. I'm not certain it's a shark. I mean, does it mean, does it guarantee you're good at pool? No, it does.

Because you bring your own cue. It does, it does. No, it doesn't guarantee, when you go to the bowling alley and you bring your own ball, it doesn't guarantee you're good at bowling. But in pool it does. It's a bluff. We put it on the pool. If you go to a pool hall and you assemble a ball, it doesn't guarantee you're good at bowling. But in pool it does. It's a bluff. Really?

If you go to a pool hall and you assemble a cue right before your opponent, that person is going to win. Okay. The person that is assembling the cue wins every time. I also want to put on the pool. Wins before the game starts. Yes. Well, much of the game is mental.

Who looks more like a tool? Guy rolling in his bowling ball or guy walking walking in with his briefcase with his pool stick Well, I can't make eye contact with a dude that's assembling the pool cue because he's already won the mental battle with me By the way if you're walking into a bowling alley on league night with more than two bowling balls Get out of my alley. Get out of my league. I have three I have a spare ball and then I got my strike ball and my backup strike. No, that's one ball too many.

Greg, do you use that little fan? Actually, I do. A lot of people do that. A lot of people at bowling, they have a little like Robie fan right at the table and it's blowing on them the entire time. Ridiculous. Yeah, but there's like that little fan that comes out

through that conveyor belt. You're talking about like, Oh, I love that, yeah. Do people do that to, belt. You're talking about Yeah, because I watched somebody try their hands there one time I'm like that's what the pros It's a power move to put your hand over that Sweating bowling is not that exerting. I Bowl says the guy who's not that good at bowling wait Chris you you bring three balls to the alley the whole thing. I have a roller back

It's obnoxious What do you want to bring one ball then I use a house ball for my 10-pin spares nice if you guys tie What's the deciding event have you figured that out? We haven't yet? I've already come up with one event for next week It's got to be vetted, but my event suggestion might be pool noodle javelin. Hmm. What? Pool noodle javelin.

Huh. That seems very difficult. So many outside variables. This is the real deal, man. Anybody can throw a shot put, who can throw a cantaloupe? You gotta be careful. If you have your pool noodles lying around for a long time, snakes hide in those things. Yep.

The more you know. Really? Yeah. What? If I were a snake, that's where I'd chill out. It's like a home. Inside the noodle hole? Happens all the time in Florida.

It does. Yeah, I've read that actually. Nice and snug. And also rats will eat a pool noodle. Yeah. This case is terrible. Yeah, I discovered that a couple of years ago. Rats will eat anything.

They'll eat paper, cardboard, stuff like that. Probably, and rats would eat a cantaloupe just like uh... squirrels would eat mangoes uh... let's show greg cody throwing a cantaloupe on the side of his uh... home uh... as a shot but just as a shot put as excuse me i'm sorry to call it throwing because he's lined up like a picture there and there's no throwing and if you're yes of course so here's's the video of Greg Cody doing the shot put, or perhaps it doesn't work, and we'll go to it another time.

Here it is. Are you feeling confident? I'm feeling confident-ish. Hold on, let me get the video audience here. All right, so he's got to be, the flag on the left is what he's trying to be. The FPL flags in the wind. Nine yards away. Nine yards away.

It's a gorgon of your markers. God. Ah! Yeah, that was a throw. That wasn't a shot put. That was a throw. That was a throw. It went like this.

You did. You beat him, but that wasn't a shot put. It went like this. No, that's a throw. No, it's an extension. That's why they have judges. You are just like the Herculean people who do it in the Olympics.

You did throw it further than Chris did though. Damn right I did. He pushed out a cantaloupe, honorary mother. Well since we're spoiling it, we can now spoil everything. The watermelon that I threw exploded because my dad was like, we should do this three throws each.

My first throw completely exploded my watermelon because of course I threw it 20 feet in the air. Who could have seen that coming? In the video right before I said, dad, this is stupid, it's gonna explode. He's like, no, best the three throws each. And here's the hidden prize. It turned out that the watermelon turned out

to have yellow meat in it or flush they call it. It was a yellow flush watermelon. I didn't even know that existed. I thought all watermelons were red. Did you know seeds and watermelons? Did you know that there's a NASCAR driver? What a NASCAR driver that's nicknamed the watermelon man. I did not know that because it's whole like, yeah, Ryan Blaney is like, his whole thing is like, when I win a race, I throw a watermelon. That's why I'm called the watermelon man. Oh, I like it

That's why I first fell in love with David Letterman one of his shows for the first time and he's up on a six-story rooftop throwing watermelons on the sidewalk I thought that was just brilliant. I think I'll confuse Ryan Blaney with Ross Chastain before all your gear heads get happy I confuse Ryan Blaney with Ross Chastain before all you gearheads get happy Put it on the pole, please go put the gear head on in one car penalty Put it on your head as a penalty because it seems heavy and unpleasant. You should know more about Me to do it with the Menards 12 put it on the pole, please at LeBata show Did you know there was such a thing as a yellow flesh watermelon? Did you know that rats eat pool noodles and have you ever found a snake in your pool noodles?

The yellow watermelon happens to be fairly common. Now I will tell you this, and delicious according to reports here, if I get a watermelon, open it up and it's yellow inside, not eating. I hear you. That was my first reaction was to be repulsed. Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah to think it had rotted or something or yeah to think what the hell is this because I thought I'm buying a watermelon I thought they were only red the yellow is generally sweeter and has a honey like taste to it. Yeah Yeah, the other thing is, you know bull this is a misnomer bulls don't see red including fighting bulls looking at a red cape because of an eye condition bulls have they see red as a grayish yellow so my first thought was I the watermelon explodes and I'm like what am

I a bull I'm seeing a red watermelon but I'm seeing yellow I thought my eyesight had gone bull Bullseye. Exactly. I think just yesterday, or no, maybe it was last week on the show, we did say that bulls do indeed see red, and that's why it works for matadors. But what you're telling us is they see it as a different color, they don't see it as actual red. That it's different than all the other colors, but they charge that because their eyesight is largely colorless. Yes, for the color red anyway. That's all I know about bull eyesight is that they're not seeing

a red flag the way we would see a red cape. But it's different. They are being distracted by the cape. What I'm asking you is I guess that it's it's not a red cape but they're seeing it as a different color that attracts them. Yes apparently. They're seeing it as yellowish gray but apparently it's just the waving motion of the cape that bothers them. So theoretically it could be any color. Yeah. I'm very confused by it. I'm gonna do more research. Alright please do because in the last seven days We've given completely contradictory information We said as a fact that bulls do indeed see red and now you're saying it's impossible for them to see red That is not good information. That is just straight

Misinformation from our show on one of the side. We also did it last segment as well where we said Tom Brokaw is from the great generation. He is not. He is a product of the silent generation. Another important correction. He's not very quiet though is he? I don't know. Summer's the best time to run the way you want.
