Greg, is there any chance I can get any access to the private thoughts that you were having a second ago that made you, even though we were all sitting in silence here, smile to yourself because you were thinking of something privately that you'd like to share? Or is it a public thought?

Can it be a public thought? It can be a public thought. I was a little embarrassed by myself because I put my two books on display for the camera to notice, and I was very careful to position them. And it just, I was both happy to do it and embarrassed and ashamed of myself at the same time. Definitely the second part.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I mean, you are a self-aggrandizing self-promoter. I thought you were proud of that. You do it with no shame while you're here That's true Well, you know you two haven't written books So you wouldn't understand but when you write a book my choice when you write a book, it's something you're very proud of It's like these are my third and fourth Children is the way I look at it. Which are you proud of your books or your children?

It depends on how my children are behaving, which did you put more work into? Yeah, probably the books if you were to rank your books and your children one, two, three four. They're all equal How would you rank them? I would rank the pride of a lion ahead of the back of my day book Which is just a compilation and both ahead of Michael and Christopher? Yeah, well, I always go chronologically with my sons. But the rankings can always change? Oh yeah, very much so. Yeah, of course.

But the books never leave the top rankings, do they? The books are always ahead of the sons. Well, the books are totally different. I mean, how can you compare? No, on these it's the same. You created four offspring, Two human offspring and two literary offspring. Rank your favorite of your four offspring. No, I will say the books never disappoint me. This is the Don LeBattor Show with the Stoogats Podcast.

this 2Guts Podcast. I believe that I was just witnessed to what is the greatest compliment our show can give. You guys tell me if you think there's a greater compliment or a harder to achieve compliment than what I'm about to say. Billy Gill came in here today not merely excited but saying out loud verbally communicating that someone had impressed him. It's hard to impress Billy Gill. He's got a very high standard for being impressed publicly. Chris, I mean I know Billy's disagreeing with me already because he's disagreeable especially on Tuesdays. Yeah, no, I know, but

you being impressed is something that I find hard to come by. So I was even more stunned when I found out who you were impressed by. I've been impressed by two people. I was handing out compliments like they were candy on Halloween. I complimented Greg on his shoes. I said, Greg has great looking shoes today. I was impressed by someone in a feat of athleticism that I saw on the internet. And then I had, you know, if I could channel my inner Joan Rivers, I saw some fashion faux pas today. But we're not gonna get into that.

That's not any of what I was talking about. Yeah, no, I'm just telling you, I was handing out cookie, I was handing out compliments like it was Halloween candy. I told you, Greg's shoes, I saw a fashion faux pas that we're not gonna talk about. And then I had this feat of athleticism that I saw on the internet yesterday, if you would like to check your screen.

Dan Graziano tweeted at Peloton 100 days away from a pretty special milestone. Dan Graziano has worked out 1900 days in a row on Peloton. That can't be true. 1900 days in a row on Peloton. It keeps track for you digitally. So what you're saying is that, I did the math, that's over five straight years that Dan Graziano every single day has done a Peloton workout of some kind.

And he has the digital receipt right there that's tracked by his app. You believe that? Well, what you're accusing, the only way this could be faked is if he goes and he starts a workout and lets it running that he's not participating in. I mean, that's a very busy guy, especially during football season. Greg you know as somebody who follows football, there's a lot of things you're doing.

You're going over here, you're flying over there, you're running a column here, you're doing a podcast over there. All of a sudden you've got 1900 days in a row that you're going to be doing Peloton. He's traveling every weekend during football season. Well okay, not to make this a commercial, but Peloton with the app you can do workouts pretty much anywhere. But it's not sick one day where it's like, all right, guess what?

Today, the one day, I'm sick, I can't do Peloton. Not him, apparently not. 1900 straight days, we have the receipts right there. And by the way, as someone who regularly, I don't wanna say cheats on their Peloton streaks, but has creative ways around it, you set up a five minute sleep meditation, you just fall asleep while it's playing. Boom that's a day right

there. Yup. 1900 very impressive. I haven't even gotten to 50 even doing my sleep meditations where I just literally fall asleep while the app is playing. Incredible. Tony would you do me the favor please of looking up for me Skip Bayless's crazy workout streak because I think he's missed two days in like 20 years. I will say to you many people might not know this dan graziano used to be a fat person uh... dan graziano came up through this market as a fat person i recognize lol it well what

that i recognize the pier i'm not saying it is an insult it was a mirror for me i've been impressed by his work i'm not insulting him he used to be very heavy and then he took up obsessive compulsive running and he's gotten very fit. One of the great survivors in the history of ESPN. There have been a lot of cuts there. Graziano's safe because football's safe. Football's around the horns gone because I'm assuming ESPN needs more football. Like the ratings were fine on Around the Horn. It's just more football, football, everybody likes football, get Graziano, he talks football. There used to be more of him. I don't mean

it as an insult. He was probably motivated in some ways that I was not to exercise every day. Oh, you mean literally, not like Edwarder types? He does look great. He is very fit and he exercises every day and he has kept that weight off. There was no fluctuation with that weight. There used to be, but then once he started working out every day, the fluctuation on the weight stopped and also once he realized, oh look, a television career. Not a lot of fat people on television. Presents very well. No doubt. This recent fitness kick of his, well I think five consecutive

years. Yeah, it's not that recent. It's not even a kick at that point. Yeah, that certainly helped his job security, no doubt. So I'm on bicycling.com, which is an actual website, and it says how this ESPN reporter has kept up a 324-day Peloton streak, and it was about Dan Graziano, and it was written in 2021.

Whoa. How does that website, is that Sugats? Did Sugats only get one of them? It's actually real, bicycling.com. I don't mean to be a naysayer here, but am I the only one who thinks there's a little too much braggadocio in a guy who tweets out that he has a 1900 day streak of exercising? Hell no! Wait till 2000. Hell no, because at certain points he's had a four year streak of working out every day and we didn't know

about it. Yeah, so he had to get to five should have waited till ten well but you know what they do though like you get the update on the pellet on okay congratulations 1900 days and there's that there's that a bad one yeah on the bottom words share with your Twitter and so it clicked on it you know there you go okay your books are on the table that's a good point but I'm not bragging about how many books I've sold or what streak I have of selling books. You just got done saying you're prouder of your books who have never disappointed you than you are of your sons.

I didn't exactly say that, did I? I wanna hear these rankings. You did say that, you said. I think that's exactly what you said. I said my books have never disappointed me. Word for word. That's the only thing I said. It implies.

No, that's fine. I mean, you know, let's, but, and love Dan Graziano. Don't get me wrong. Sounds like it. Well. I think he could walk in the room and you, I actually used to work with him. I was gonna say that's actually what I saw.

Well, he used to be a fatso according to Dan, so he may not recognize him. You know what, I love that he's lost a lot of weight. I love that he exercises, but people who don't exercise fanatically don't want to hear about other people, you know, having great feats on a treadmill or something. So what you're saying is instead of putting out his streak, he should just put out a picture

of his peloton. Like you just put out a picture of your book or just sit your book on the table. Just put your peloton there and then we could just admire his peloton. Yeah, and let people surmise. Exactly. Can I stop you for a second and I want to get Tony's skip Bayless fact in a second but I've lost Mike Ryan he's off to sea and I've noticed this over the last couple of years it doesn't happen that often in the morning where

we have live sports television that allows gambling but Mike Ryan is gone because he's looking at a television here what are you watching that you have action on that makes you a specific kind of degenerate on a Tuesday morning? We got a sicko's delight inside the ACC. The ACC baseball tournament is underway. Classic ACC matchup between Cal and Miami. This game, first pitch was at 6 a.m pacific time for those watching at Berkeley. We got underway with a bun single. I am locked in, positively dialed. They started at 6 a.m. playing baseball?

Pacific time. 9 a.m. 9 a.m. This is at the Durham Bulls. Well, it's here. Well, no, it's in Durham. I mean East Coast though. Yeah, East Coast, but Cal, ACC member. Yeah, okay.

This is a 6 a.m. start for their natural. So 9 a.m. local, but 6 a.m. back there. For their body clocks, yeah. They probably pulled up to the stadium. Their bodies thought it was like 4.30 a.m. Start so not a local but 6 a.m. Back there for their body clocks Yeah, they probably pulled up to the the stadium their bodies thought it was like 430 a.m Looks like there's 63 people there. Yeah, really looks like a Marlins crowd. I thought you were saying it was at Berkeley I don't know that there's a lot more absurd between 6 a.m. And 9 a.m. On a Tuesday for a baseball game They're both pretty absurd. That's some Dan math going on. You send a lot of early texts.

I'm gonna go ahead and say the difference is three hours. The major difference between six and nine. To their bodies, you think the guys in California right now playing, the guys playing for California feel a lot different than they would 6 a.m. back home right now opening at 9 a.m. because my guess is they were up at six anyway. For the cow guys, it probably got into town at like 9 p.m. back home right now opening at 9 a.m. because my guess is they were up at 6 anyway. For the cow guys it probably got into town at like 9 p.m. too. They might as well have played it at 2 a.m. But they're not getting up at like 10 to 6 you know for the like they're preparing.

That's right. What I'm saying is the difference is between 6 and 9 isn't the three hours that you think it is. It's the difference between 3 and six because of all the preparation they have to do before first pitch. Like they're actually getting up at the time you're alleging they're not getting up. They're just not playing at six a.m. But they're sure as shit up at six a.m. Late May is always great for the sickos. You got the baseball conference tournaments going on and pretty soon we have Roland Garros. So your boy's gonna be knee deep in action by the time 430 AM rolls around. What do you make of the obsessive compulsiveness

I'm talking about? Because workout people who work out every day are absolutely the people who are telling you. They love to tell you. They're working out every day. They're showing you the receipts. They're on the gram telling you about their workouts. There are very few people who work out every day and no one knows that why is that?

We don't talk about we don't talk at all about that I just show you guys incredible results without mentioning how lift an iron pump and I do we do we're stacking plates in that iron Caddies all the time would you have a breakfast a 45 plate? Clangin and banging. What is the skip Bayless stat? Speaking of clanging and banging, so he works out three times a week with weights, and then he does cardio every single day. On Sundays, he does something special where he does an eight mile run,

and then the last mile, he does it at a faster pace than all the other ones, but he's also training his mind and doing mental stimulation as well. You gotta give me though the stat please. Two missed workouts in twenty years there's a specific stat involved that skip a list of rounds no graziano play right now

we're not we're not gonna have to get on graziano have i thought a picture of his bike great if you want to question whether i was actually right i'm looking at it was tries fault i mean okay what do you what do you want to cross out of that's five years old that photo also. The whole exercising culture, you know? I'd like to see what mile he's on. Do we know it's not like LeBron

where he's on the first page of the book? Wow, come on guys. Look, he has boxing gloves in the background of this photo. He has what seems to be a weight rack behind him. Yes, there's clearly results. It's a small weight rack. I don't understand what you guys are doing. You're questioning whether or not someone's working out.

And then we're praising Skip Bayless, who skipped two days in 20 years. Like, why is that praise really? Well, hold on, it's been longer than 20 years, by the way. So he's not missed a single cardio workout since May 3rd, 1998. Oh, bullshit. Due to a sinus infection, by the way, Dan.

And he has not missed a lifting day since 1982. They didn't even lift weights in 1982. What, he invented weightlifting? Like, get out of here. When were the Bash Brothers? When was that? That was like 89. Late 80s.

They invented weightlifting and steroids. How about Arnold? No, please, Arnold. What do you mean? It was in the 70s. No, it was the Bash Brothers at Leviton Show. Jose Canseco invented weightlifting, we all know it. You can tag him, he'll retweet it, he'll confirm it.

I guarantee you by day's end. Confirmed! Thank you. You can tag him. He'll retweet it. He'll confirm it. I guarantee you by day's end Okay, so I thought I was good with money turns out I was really good at Ignoring it like how am I spending this much on delivery or uber or that one shoe store?

when he was like three years old. Right next to the condom. Yeah. Yeah, he's that. That's a subtle reminder. Yeah. As a subtle reminder. Never forget. This is the Don LeVittar Show with the Stugats. Put it on the poll please. That LeVittar Show did the Bash Brothers invent weightlifting. You guys have now criticized, you said that can't be true and you called bullshit on everything we were saying here. Let me play this Shaq sound for you guys because this is something else. We need a new segment, that ain't true or that's bullshit,

where we just accuse someone straight of lying. Shaq does this all the time. Shaq doesn't care what he has to say in order for people to pick up what he said and so here is Shaq does this all the time. Shaq doesn't care what he has to say in order for people to pick up what he said. And so here is Shaq lying. In 1992, I think the draft was in June or something, I meet Mr. Stern in March. And he says to me, hey, no, you are, can't wait for you to come to the NBA. Then he pulls me to his heart.

You wanna play where it's cold or it's hot? Yes, we did. Yeah, he did. He asked me that and I was like, hot. And he smiled and I smiled. And then a couple of days later, they had the draft thing and, you know, the top three things that Minnesota was number three. I was like, and then Charlotte was number two and Orlando, Florida was number one. I was like, and then Charlotte was number two, and then Orlando, Florida was number one. I was like, I didn't think anything about it,

but you know, you hear a lot of these conspiracy theories and there's a lot of situations that could make these things sound good and sound true, like, okay. What are you shaking your head about? Judge Zazz? I love him so much, but he is so full of shit. I mean, we're talking something that was over 30 years ago,

so it's definitely like a game of telephone, where he's not- Well, the man is dead, who would, like, this is the best way to tell lies. The dead do not tell lies, the dead do not rebut arguments. And he would never make that claim if that man, David Stern, were still alive, all right? Because David Stern doesn't even have to be the commissioner anymore to call Shaq into

his office after he's dead. He waited plenty of time just to make sure he was dead before he made that allegation like, because you do not make that allegation while David Stern is alive or while he's being mourned recently, mourned recently after dying. You wait several years to do that. Look, Shaq was a, he was a big time prospect. We knew he was going to go number one overall. But how does it benefit David Stern or the NBA to send Shaq to the exact location he

wants to go to? Don't forget, Shaq did no winning at LSU. None. How does it benefit the NBA or Shaq? Shaq, where do you want to go? Got it. How does that benefit the league? Let's think about for a second, Shaq doing no do you want to go? Got it. How does that benefit the league? Let's think about for a second, Shaq doing no winning at LSU while Stanley Roberts was playing next to him. They had two NBA seven footers and Dale Brown didn't know how to win with them. LSU also has winning 10 games with Ben Simmons

on its roster and not making the NIT tournament. That's some historic bad from LSU on getting first round talents and not being able to do anything with it. And that's when Ben Simmons was good. Well, they didn't make the NIT with a number one overall pick. Coach's fault. Put it on the poll at LeBotard's show.

Is it impossible to not make the NIT if you have a healthy number one pick playing well? Because you're right, Ben Simmons wasn't what he is now where he can't make a jumper back then. I did some research into this Arnold Schwarzenegger situation apparently he won weightlifting contests in 1964-1965 he also won the 1967 Munich stone lifting contest in which a stone weighing 508 German pounds is lifted between the legs while standing on two foot rest. 508 German pounds in case you're wondering is 560 regular pounds. I don't know what that means. It means he invented weight lifting. I don't know the difference between German pounds and regular pounds. It's about 52 when you get to

560. I thought we all did the same kinds of pounds. Yeah I did too. Don't they use kilograms in Germany? Well, that would make it. Yeah, 254 kilograms, 560 pounds, 508 German pounds. I've never heard the phrase German pounds. Put it on the poll, please, at Lebatard Show. Is there such a thing as German pounds? Are German pounds different, I guess, than American pounds? So looking here, it says the Anglo-American pound is about 453 grams where German pound is just half a

kilogram which is 500 grams. So that's once you extrapolate that over what other kind of what other kinds of pounds are there who else has like I didn't know Germans had their own pounds what how many other kinds do the French have their own pounds? They're sand. Mm-hmm. Pound cake. Oh yeah. This is our metric system. They can't play fast and loose with our metric system. We're not trying to, or wait, unless we are, are we trying to tell them what a kilogram

is? I don't think so. I want to get to this hockey game tonight. We have another hockey game tonight and we have the final four in both sports and We haven't heard yet from Mike Ryan on having to eat the public shame of the following one Brad Marchand is the greatest playoff scorer against the maple leaves that isn't named Gordie Howe and Brad Marchand is presently the Panthers point leader during the playoffs.

I feel no shame. I don't understand what you continually try to do. I don't like Brad Marshand, that's fine. He's a key contributor on a team that's in the Eastern Conference Finals. I move on. My team is in the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive year. I don't have to like the guy nor do I have to make it a thing. The thing that I'm trying to make you eat is that you've been wrong about his

contributions and furthermore the other thing I'm trying to make you eat that we didn't get to nearly enough yesterday is I heard Paul Maurice say he didn't want to use the word hate, hate's a strong word, but that he thought Brad Marshand was the total opposite of what Brad Marshand actually is. And then what he says is, he's a wonderful human being. A lot of people that work in hockey that I'm close to tell me that I would absolutely love Brad Marshand if I ever met him and I don't want to meet him. I don't have no interest in meeting the person.

I would say Brad has been a very good winger on what has been Florida's most consistent line for three playoffs now. You want to say, make the argument that he's been Florida's most consistent line for three playoffs now. You wanna say, make the argument, that he's been Florida's best player of the playoffs, that's a strong hand, I would disagree. I think his line made, on the other side of the wing. Luster Reinen has been phenomenal this playoff.

And Maurice gave Marshon credit for that. I disagree, that line has been good for three years. It has not been this for three years. It has not been this for three years. It has always been the line to get someone jump started. It's always been a really good third line. Well, but, and I don't want to defend Mike in this spot because God knows he's way off base when it comes to Brad Marchand.

But that third line, like we could say that Marchand has helped make that line. Those are two super young players in London, Lloyd's three and like they were going to continue getting better. And they were never our best line in the last couple years playoffs I'll keep saying this they were a good third line Mike is not wrong but he's making he's painting it like they were our best line

I think when it comes to expectation salary devotion oh no there yeah consistency the third line's been Florida's best line for three playoffs so there and what I'm doing is a bit of a rhetorical trick because all the other lines have been pretty interchangeable whereas you know in the third line, two names are written in Sharpie. Unless Barkov's injured and then they move Lundell up. It's Lundell and Lusorainen. Let's play the sound from last year if you do not remember.

And God, we made a lot of fun of Rod and Brendan Moore, one of the great names in the history of… Such a meathead coach! … in the history of hockey. He doesn't think that Carolina was swept last year. Two years ago. Two years ago, excuse me.

Even though, you know, statistically, historically, in all the places we keep records and books and not even AI can distort, it'll be remembered forever as a sweep. There's no other phrase for it. It doesn't have an asterisk on it. But he's also not wrong when he says the games were close and that everything was tight. Okay, but so what is he saying that sweeps are usually blowouts for four games? Like who came up with that explanation? Well, let's let's relive it in his own words because it begins again Tonight there's no rest for the champions they immediately have to they have to fight Carolina and

This you say no problem. Yeah, no problem, but I say I'd say this will keep getting harder I will say that Tampa was tough and Toronto was tough and in order to win it was tough The cakewalk only took me five games get back yeah you even watch the series Jesus Louise can you tell me what a cakewalk is do you know what a cake you're not gonna like this you should not even mention it anymore I don't know what a cakewalk well we've done this before it's racial yeah don't say grandfathered in either that's I think that's fine no it's not look can. Okay. So Grandfathered is also racial?

Like Cakewalk? If I look at both of them and I'm gonna have to cancel it the way I have to cancel some crows in 1919 Disney movies? Well, I wanna know now. I do too. I don't remember what a Cakewalk actually is. Put it on the poll. Do you know what a Cakewalk actually is

and also play the Bryndamore sound more sound again they were technically and historically and forever more swept you know that that's the unfortunate part of this is that the it is going to look back in their own since they got swept as if that's not what happened i watched it that but i'm there coming in where we're in the game that that that we didn't get we lose four games we we have beat, but it's, we were right there and

this could have went the other way and this could have been four games the other way. And tonight, the way it ended is tough getting a penalty like that, that's tough, especially what was let go and then you go, that's gonna sting. But not to take anything away from the other team because they played hard. But I think we a huge steps this year You know coming this far like I said with what we were missing is pretty pretty impressive Okay, I'm glad he's not taking anything away from the Panthers who swept them and also acknowledges that the Panthers played hard That's a good job at a meathead Rod brindle more but we didn't get swept

i was there i've watched it's so we got beat but we didn't lose right what's going on there see that's common for hockey coaches alright like paul morey's after their series clenching six one victory how close it was emphasized how close the game was okay so so coaches was so i'm beside a close to series was. Okay, so coaches rationalize. Wasn't it more so emphasized on how close the series was? It was seven games.

The game was not close. 75 shots in two periods is not a close game. My dad is right. Even after the game five, I'm telling you, he does this thing where he doesn't want his team to get too high, so he's just like, I know it's six one, but these are close. Okay, but then that's not what Brandenburg's doing there

because the season's over because he got swept. In the history of game sevens at home, there's only been one other that's been played that's that not close. So that Toronto game at the end was not close in any way, not mathematically, not historically. The cakewalk originated in the antebellum south where enslaved black people would perform stylized dances

that mock the formal European style dances of their white enslavers. These dances were often held at gatherings on plantations. Let's not put that poll up that we just asked for. The phrase grandfathered in originates from discriminatory practices in the southern United States after the Civil War, particularly in the context of voting rights. You will not be able to make cancel culture so restrictive that I cannot walk around cakes. Me and Graziano are gonna walk around cakes whenever we want to.

Not anymore, Graziano bike around them, keep going. I can't believe grandfathered is racist. I'm surprised by that too. Grandfathers altogether are racist. Well generally, you know what? I should have known. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Are grandfathers as a group,

is the median grandfather racist? It's gonna be like 95%. And then you just always say, oh, they're from a different time. That's what everyone says about the grandfathers. Is the median grandfather racist? I think we can answer it. I'm gonna put that question down.

It's honestly the only unifying thing is every grandfather of every person of every race is racist That every race every race really that home run ball may stay in that seat for the entirety of the game There is no one there to fetch it It's just hanging around To nothing cow the Durham bull from Bull Durham That's the is that the Bull Durham is that behind right? Did California just go up two nothing with a home run

that hit the snorting, smoking bull in right field? It hit an empty chair, but the snorting bull snorted. Is that the Bull Durham bull that they just showed? Yes, yes, it's in Durham. Yes, that's where the bulls are playing. What a coincidence that would be. It looks though like it has been updated from the movie Bull Durham,

because the one I remember was not quite that new it had been banged up by home run ball hopefully i would assume they've done so as a major facelift to the the baseball statement durham over the last thirty years considering the number of people there or number of people that aren't there do you think they're not chasing that home run ball thing no that balls can come closer to that right at some point in the game precisely like we'll get the next one, kid. Forgive me for this. Executive producer Chris Cody forgot to play the song we were supposed to play at the top of the show

that involves Greg Cody, his father. Blow Canada, another game seven down the drain. From Edmonton to Toronto, the Florida Panthers bring the pain. Blow Canada, a first Stanley Cup since 93 would be nice. Instead our nation's volunteers make up our sheets of ice. Brad Marchand owns the leafs. It cannot be debated. Just as sure as all can nuts, no Connor's still McGover rated. A good executive producer decision to not open the show with that. Greg Cody's second Blow Canada type of song, Making Fun of the Canadian Anthem. It's still several behind the Row Row Row

Your Boat renditions he has done when he quit actually trying to be the- Why don't you play a couple of those? The Row Row Row Your Boat. Those are suspect at this point. When he quit trying to be the singing sports writer because he ran out of songs and they all became a form of row row row your boat. Well, Greg's a grandfather now he's from a different time. That was not a row row your boat. That was an old Canada parody. I know I was saying that that's second only to because you're now in reruns on the old Canada parodies. It's a classic when you do something twice two years in a row it's you're not running out of ideas

you're continuing a classic you're making it an annual event., you're not running out of ideas, you're continuing a classic. You're making it an annual event. So you're like telling a story almost. Yes, but you're changing the lyrics to adapt to the times. Like Marshawn would not have been mentioned in my Oh Canada parody a year ago. It's like Fast and the Furious. It's an icon that withstands time. You get to keep bringing it back because people want it brought back.

Correct. Star Wars, Mission Impossible, there's a new Mission Impossible coming out. It may get me to theaters, Dan. It's a franchise. I don't know. The Final Reckoning? Maybe, yeah, it's not the final one.

Is it The Final Reckoning or just Final Reckoning? Final Reckoning. There's no the in there? No the. Well, I don't understand, like Billy doesn't go to movies? Is that what we're talking about here? Not theaters, no. I'm not a theater guy, are you? Yeah. Why, I don't understand. Like, Billy doesn't go to movies. Is that what we're talking about here? Not theaters, no. I'm not a theater guy.

Are you? Yeah. You got, why? Because I like movies. Yeah, but you can watch them at home. No, but I go to two movies in the theater. We go to all the superhero movies, this Aslow Man. We go to those in the theater,

and we go to all the horror movies in the theater, too. All of them. Why'd you say it like that? All of them. Because we like horror movies. Do you ever go to the IMAX or sit in the seats that move and do all that stuff? No, no, because I get vertigo, so I can't do that, you know?

And I don't do 3D either. Does Aslomen get vertigo? No, just me. Just me. Just me. Yeah, so I gotta be careful. You get seasick as well? No, no.

Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Do you get vertigo at the moving seats during a horror movie? No, the moving. Hard show. I know. I know. What? What?

4K XRX3 real D thing. I did it one time. I almost fell out of the seat. Really? It's like a roller coaster. Yeah. If you can prepare you for the first time that you do that. I almost fell out.

I was sitting there with a bottle of wine. It was a bottle of red. Huge mistake. Wow.

There is actually. Hey! What? Were you not going to tell anyone? In what day? Wait a minute. You guys are kidding. Guys, it's a Tuesday. StuGuts.

Here's your guy, Greg Cody, with Back in My Day. Okay, here it is. Sorry. Adultery. No! Yeah! Yeah, wait a minute. Sorry. Adultery! Yeah! We are back! This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stoogads.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stoogads. Can you guys please try and reach Dan Graziano and accuse him to his face of not being someone who works out all the time?

Because I do want to talk in general about the person who works out all the time and the person who says he or she works out all the time. Scott Price, exceptional writer of Miami Herald Sports Illustrated. He's on the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody this week and Scott Price is somebody who many years ago for Tropic magazine uh... was writing an article and he was just at the gym writing about someone on a treadmill running in place and he made it a symbol for a generation the vanity of running in place while staring into a mirror

and never having a generation that has to endure a war itself. Just sort of like how it is we became soft and we graduated from taking photos of ourselves on the treadmill to now we're just walking around taking photos of ourselves everywhere we are, including the movie theater. We've gone from a generation that was soft

because all it did was exercise instead of, you know, picking up stones, 500 German pound stones and throwing them into the sky. Instead of doing hard things, we just dabbled in self-involvement. Right. And the fallacy of the whole exercise culture is that it guarantees nothing. As an example, I would say Jim Fix, the inventor of running, died at 52. What do you mean, inventor of running? He invented running. Jim Fix. He's right.

Like the Bass Brothers did? I mean, inventing running. You can look it up. Well, I guess he discovered it, technically, right? Is this like a classic electricity thing? Yeah, he's considered the father of the whole running in van first yeah covered yeah exactly put it on the pole at lebatard show did Jim fix invent running also look up for me Chris if you could the mistake that Stu gots made one time reading the internet

poorly while I think looking up something involving Muay Thai which he mispronounced but he claimed reading something that someone had invented jumping. That someone invented jumping, and they'd done it like 10 years previous to when we were talking about it. That jumping had not been invented before then. So Jim Fix is a real person, F-I-X-X, double X Fix,

and he is credited with helping start America's fitness revolution by popularizing the sport of running. Again with the fire alarm, huh? We're good. We're never gonna listen to the fire alarm. We're gonna, do you ever leave, do any of you ever leave where you are? How long does it take you to leave where you are

if the fire alarm is going off? Never. You guys never leave? I need to see the fire. No, in school they used to have those, leave? I need to see the fire. No. In school they used to have those, remember? They used to have fire alarms in school. Yeah, fire drills.

Fire drills. It's partially schools fault because they were always drills. So I assume this is a drill. Yeah. Do schools still do fire drills? I don't even know. I assume so. And they do other drills as well.

Yeah. Break your heart. Well that's sad. Yeah. No doubt about that. Although we did that during the Cuban Missile Crisis, we had to put our head under the desk, I remember that. That'll help you survive a bomb. Yeah, a nuclear one.

They thought so at the time. We all put our head under the desk. Did you have bunk mates underneath in your bunker, your desk bunker? No. Really? Yeah. How long do you guys wait before you leave if an alarm

is going off? At some point you, I know in my building where it is that I live, if it's going off for more than 10 minutes, I do not want to die a fiery death while being upstairs because a fire is gathering. After 10 minutes, I will have to evacuate because that seems like a horrible way to die. If I smell smoke, if I smell smoke for myself, I'll be like, all right, this confirms earlier reports. Could be real. I wait for someone in charge.

Yeah, I thought you had to stop, drop, and roll if you saw fire. No, that's if you get caught. Oh, god. Can you imagine just seeing fire and stop, drop, and roll? You're outside, like, oh, here we go. Yeah. It always seemed like an odd thing to do, but I was like, whatever you say, officer.

Well that's how to put yourself out if you're on fire. Really? Is that so? Yeah. He's not listening, so I'm going to have to... Minor penalty, two minutes for not listening. I love listening. Greg's offense.

Billy is moving very quickly. Thank you, Mike. It's hard to follow. It's too fast. Greg's offense. Billy is moving very quickly. Thank you Mike. It's hard to follow. It's too bad here because you probably wanted to talk Leonel Messi saying this is a complicated time for Inter Miami losing 3-0 to Orlando City, lost five of their last seven. We can't get your expertise on this so we're going have to settle for Mike's three nil okay you can leave now you can leave okay all right hold on a second all right what is this two minutes right here in

the shipping container for trying to leave You're on a roll. You were so good yesterday too. Wait, then he comes into here? It says leaving on the button. He's just chilling in the goal panel. He doesn't respect what we're doing around here, and it's problematic. Lionel Messi, I worry that this is the end of things, only because I keep expecting him and that team to age, and once they get to the losing of five of seven,

I'm assuming aging's gonna happen here at some point to these people, correct? Wait, so do you see a scenario where like, he doesn't even make it to the new stadium? I'm just, I'm saying that five out of seven losses with a team that Lionel Messi is on and healthy, given what I've seen is the difference between him and everyone else playing

in that league. I don't understand losing 3-0 to Orlando City and I don't understand Messi playing minutes and them losing 5 out of 7 games if he's on the field the entire time. They've kind of fallen off the face of the earth really after they lost to Vancouver. They've had a lot of fixtures, more fixtures than most MLS teams because of the deep run in that specific competition. But his contract expires December 31st. Yeah, is next year an option in the new stadium? If you're looking for signs of encouragement, his friend Jordi Abba, who joined Inter Miami around the same time, a Barcelona teammate, did just extend to 2027. I haven't done reporting on Messi since

I broke the biggest story in the history of South Florida sports. So I can poke around. Yeah, he's getting older at a time that they're about to move into the stadium that's been put off for several years. You'd like to open that stadium with Lionel Messi, but they have a relatively unproven head coach that got off to a really fast start and there's a little adversity here. Now Orlando is a good team inside the Eastern Conference but what a difference three weeks make. Miami was cruising atop the Eastern Conference and now they're right in that area of like struggling to make the playoffs but it's a long season and they'll usually figure

things out. They're gonna push back on it being the biggest story in the history of Miami sports. Biggest okay? Yeah. You, I think Messi coming to town is up there. No. Oh, no, it's up there. You said it's the biggest story Yeah, then the history broke that biggest story that he broke it. It's that he broke a story No saying it's not the biggest thing. That's all right. I'm just trying to my own credentials by putting this the story over If I say it's the biggest story, then I make myself look better because I broke it. Okay I just I don't I say it's the biggest story then I make myself look better because I broke it okay I just I don't agree with it being the biggest story. What'd you think it was land Stevenson getting drafted by big three Michael Beasley demanding a trade from big three yo Michael Beasley is a heat lifer He was not consulted on this land Stevenson draft pick and he's like I'm out of here

Is that what happened? Yeah, cuz it's on site with land Stevenson. They're playing one on one like it I don't like this one bit. Lance Stevenson, you don't make that kind of acquisition in Miami. I like it. Where is Big 3 leadership? This is right up there with Marshand. This is not something that you do. You don't bring Lance Stevenson to Miami.

No, it's not like that at all. Marshand is a champion. Credit to Michael Beasley, who I believe is also a champion. Is he not? Was he not on one of those teams? I don't think so. He wasn't? No, but Chum but he wasn't on one of the LeBron teams that made it? He was. He was on 14 that lost. Awwww.
