The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: The Canceled Show

Episode Date: June 13, 2024

Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Chris...and Tony late...and Roy later...and Jessica and Lucy (and Jeremy even though the crew hasn't mentioned him) on Zoom. DIE 🎶 WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE 🎶 WE'RE ALL GON...NA DIE 🎶 WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE 🎶 The show has been canceled* due to weather concerns, so we are looking for some rain delay filler. Who will make it to the studio? Has South Florida ever dealt with rain quite like what we saw yesterday? Is Leeman justified in owning so many fishing buckets? Has Dan joined Kendall Roy on a climate change zoom meeting? Then, Amin is in Dallas after last night's Game 3, so he and Billy Gil jump on the already crowded zoom to discuss...you guessed it...chemicals in hair relaxers and whether or not puddles have germs. *Obviously, the show has not been canceled. We're literally doing it right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. This is like super unfortunate. I've been warning you guys that some of this shit was coming this way and and everyone is like he's chicken little, he's talking about climate change, can we just talk about sports and stuff? This guy always
Starting point is 00:00:40 wants to talk about climate change and rain and i've been warning you that this is coming to the keys map and nights to god said we we work on the bay man we what like it keeps me up and i what happens if you're self-employed and one of these two hundred mile an hour storms comes through here and we got windows that lovely and what happens all this equipment that's all i know and and and what happens and so what happens is no one can come into work today and
Starting point is 00:01:12 Everyone is stuck in floods and cars are stuck all over the place and in the first time in show history We've got a show postponement due to rain due to weather conditions. We can't do the show today Where is everybody Chris like where I'm on a slack all night all night We can't get in there. The car's gonna get flooded. The highways are flooded. Jessica can't come in. Lucy can't come in. I will say this. I don't know how Chris experienced it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:01:32 That was the most dangerous drive I have ever taken. The drive home yesterday? Brutal. Oh my God, man. I mean, I was driving in an ocean. Do you know how disappointing it is to me to be self-employed in the middle of the stanley cup final
Starting point is 00:01:48 and the middle of other sports that we can't do the show today that we don't have the ability on a on a day that everyone would want to talk about sport this is the day that climate change comes and ruins the show when lebatard been trying to ruin the show with climate change talk, we made Adam McKay crazy. Time.
Starting point is 00:02:08 We made him not funny. Time. My friend is going nuts because he's talking to climate scientists every weekend who are telling everybody, do you know how much worse it is than we ever thought it would be? Time. And we have a dome.
Starting point is 00:02:21 We're kind of like the Marlins having a rain delay on our opening day with a dome like we're covered Chris what are we gonna do? That nobody can get in here today to do the show with actually Tony just got here Tony did my man I'm stunned that Stu gots got how did Stu gots get in here Did he sleep in the clothes last night outside in in the parking garage like i did not i left my house at four a m it is hard to explain to people who are not in florida what is happening in florida but i will tell you having watched in the panic of the weather
Starting point is 00:02:54 channel over the last couple of days they're telling us on both coasts when they show the maps it's like it's just all underwater which is what it'll eventually be when the ocean gets here like that's just coming from the sky. That's not the sky meeting with the ocean. That's just it's raining more than it ever has. And we're like, ah, who cares? It's just flooding in India.
Starting point is 00:03:13 No, now it's here. And there are tornadoes in the middle of the country and we can't do a show today. Time. How did you get in here, Tony? Canoe. Ah. I feel so bad. I feel so bad I really do, that Jessica and Lucy have uprooted their
Starting point is 00:03:32 lives to live here when all my life this has been paradise Stu Gatz. It's been paradise. Living in this place has been delightful and I've never been scared of storms. I slept through Hurricane Andrew. Bonifides. You did? I slept through it. So did I, Dan, I was too.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It happened in Homestead and I was in Pembroke Pines and it was far enough away that 160 mile an hour winds, which seemed quaint because our oceans are bathtubs now and it's too hot and no one can get into work Jessica will start with you. You're on zoom The show's postponed. I can't do it this way. This is no way to do a show Are we officially in a rain delay right now? I postponed it already because look you saw the slack that said safety first, right?
Starting point is 00:04:22 Did you believe it metal arc says safety first. I didn't believe it but as it turns out a man just showed up to my apartment because we have sprung a leak officially last night Leeman spent the entire afternoon bailing water off of our balcony the drains in our garage started filling up with water and backing up and this morning we have officially sprung a leak. The washer in the dryer or in the middle of the kitchen, there's something going on with the pipes and I'm scared. I don't know what's going on. Wait, but you're not even talking about your fear from last night, which is hearing the
Starting point is 00:04:53 rain not stop and hearing, like we've had hail and tornadoes here recently, but last night the way that it was coming in. I like the sound of rain. No, but this, not this intensity. Not that rain. No, Jessica, well, that's not even the bad rain. Wait till the winds get here. Like that's not the bad stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Jessica, what happened last night with you and just because Valerie was trying to write some notes on a desk and she's like, this desk is all wet because these windows are not equipped to keep this amount of rain out. The worst part about last night was that Lehman feels justified now in owning like seven different fishing buckets
Starting point is 00:05:28 because we've just been filling them up with rainwater and I have been trying to get rid of buckets for years. We have so many goddamn buckets because he loves to catch fish so much and now they're all filled with rainwater and I can't get rid of any of them. Oh no, it's not. But they're-
Starting point is 00:05:42 Welcome to Florida. He's good about cleaning those up because fish buckets and bait and stuff in this in this humidity, that can be a bad deal, even if they're really clean. I'm sick of the buckets, but we're probably going to end up buying more buckets now. I hate I hate it here, Dan. Okay, that's not great. That's not a great situation. It was
Starting point is 00:06:01 paradise. We sold her on paradise. We told her it was going to be beautiful here and her career would thrive in the warmth and instead we're just now headed into hurricane season. This is just rain. It's so bad, I lost two fingernails last night. Wait, other hand. I lost two fingernails last night.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Your hand shaking from the nerves, you're being pelted, your home is being pelted. Yes, your coffee is well. Damn, Panther Coffee was closed. Panthered. Yes, your coffee is well. Dan, Panther Coffee was closed. Panther Coffee is closed. That place is never closed. It is a state of emergency.
Starting point is 00:06:31 The last three days, Lucy, I wanna bring you in here because she is not Stugats. She is not at work either. It's just Tony and Chris. I told them last night, it's gotta be safety first. We can't do a show under these conditions Roy is efforting to get here I don't know where he's at. Is he really is he got a text that he's he's on his way. All right So I've got a boat maybe I don't know, please forgive me because I don't know how all the decisions get made at Metal
Starting point is 00:06:57 Arc Media Lucy was working optional today. Did the floods were you told to stay home? Could you not get in here? We had the option to stay home or come into work whatever we felt comfortable with. Yesterday, driving home from work, I live about three miles from the office, took me 45 minutes to get home, and I cried three separate times. I was so scared.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Because, and that's not like, we know I cry a lot, but they were real scary tears. Like, oh no, I really don't want to die on Biscayne Boulevard. Like, that's the like, we know I cry a lot, but they were real scary tears, like oh no, I really don't wanna die on Biscayne Boulevard, like that's the last place I wanna die. The water, like by the time I got to my car in the parking garage, which by the way,
Starting point is 00:07:33 Chris and I had a nice moment yesterday, I felt like we bonded. Yeah we did. Because he didn't bring an umbrella and we had to share mine and I thought it was really nice and then everything went downhill. I'm gonna be honest with you Lucy, I saw you walking to the elevator with an umbrella
Starting point is 00:07:45 and I sprinted to catch up with you. I was like, I see that umbrella and I'm gonna try to get under that thing. So you were sprinting to the umbrella and not to Lucy. Well, no, I wouldn't, I mean. Let's be honest. I was, yeah, I guess. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:07:57 That's okay. Good contributions. I don't blame you. Lucy, can you just help me understand the level of fear that you had yesterday? Because you're used to tornadoes, you're used to bad weather. I'm like pretty good, like if I know there's going to be bad weather, I'm not going to put myself in a situation where I have to drive. In tornadoes, it's like they're very terrifying, but it's a very small path of land that usually gets like really destroyed.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And so tornadoes, I usually go stand on my porch and I put my arms up like Superman, like I'm a dad. And I just look and I watch the tornado come. And then I know, okay, too close, go inside. So I have a good routine for tornadoes. I've never really dealt with like flooding like this before. And so it was probably five minutes into my drive where the water was slowly creeping up and there was a point where it was near the top of my tires.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And I drive like a sedan. So it wasn't crazy. I wasn't driving like a Ford F-150 and it was up to my tires. But it was so scary because I didn't know how to drive in it and everyone was turning around and I said, I can't turn around. I don't want to go back to the office. Darrell Bock Lucy, Lucy, I need to explain to everyone here, everyone needs to know this. no one knows how to drive in it because it's unprecedented weather like this is
Starting point is 00:09:13 the new normal no one's going to teach you how to drive in that and here's what i will tell you Lucy because i've seen the video and this is the part that's frustrated me about climate change over the last three years to god when it happens far away from you when it happens to poor brown people are somewhere in another country that doesn't speak english and you see this apocalyptic flooding that's just taking out infrastructure you don't feel it the same way as when your car gets stuck because you didn't know i-95 could flood then you feel it was this is
Starting point is 00:09:45 the thing you see video everywhere right now all over the country people are seeing video everywhere of what the hell's going on south florida and pensacola where all those cars are stock and you might not feel it until it's your car there you gotta go three days later and some fishes in it and a watermelon scott hansen is yelling at people because your car and life have been turned over to get one car and now it's in the middle of uh... what feels like the ocean but no the oceans common this is the sky side
Starting point is 00:10:15 this is just the sky's belching out more diarrhea than it's ever been in human history truly dan thanks for making me move here, really. I'm super happy it worked out that way, thank you. I don't know, they told me never to do it in Miami, it's too God's everyone warned me. They said don't do it in Miami. I'm glad you listened.
Starting point is 00:10:34 But it's because of the help. It's because you can't get people to, you can't get people to not live in New York and Los Angeles and do this. That email last night where we were kinda like, all right, so we're working tomorrow, but you don't have to. Was kinda like when my wife tells me
Starting point is 00:10:50 that I don't have to go to Sunday dinner at her parents' house, but I know that if I don't, I'm gonna get in trouble. Okay, so here's the thing. So let me explain to people the pressures of self-employment, okay? Because when I tell you it does keep me up at night, that all of this wonderful studio is right on the bay.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And Biscayne Bay is always flooding. Like I'm waiting for the day that I have to come in in Valerie's Jeep and circle back around because I didn't think of helicopters. And so when you're self-employed like this, and you see these storms coming, and you're on every weekend with climate scientists are telling you Screaming nobody knows how bad this is
Starting point is 00:11:29 How is it that the government and the newspapers and the television and the media aren't doing a better job of telling everybody? That South Florida is gonna be under the ocean faster than you think it's not 2050 it's happening right now You're doing that every weekend. It's a terrible50. It's happening right now. You're doing that every weekend? It's a terrible way to spend a weekend. Why do you think I've been crazy for three years? Take a break. That's just why!
Starting point is 00:11:54 Watch a game. Take a gummy. I tried raised baseball. For an entire season of medicine. Backstreet's back. Alright. Since the dawn of mankind, we've cooked our food over an open flame and debated the best way to grill. One thing not up for debate, grilling and beer always go together. But not just any beer would do. Whether you barbecue, Texas style, or just celebrate Wednesday with burgers and dogs. I love Miller Lite. Every single time my team plays on television,
Starting point is 00:12:27 I am sitting behind that television screen with a Miller Lite or three. Miller Lite keeps it simple, undebatable quality, taste as great as your barbecue. It's the beer that strips away everything you don't need and holds on to what matters the most. With the Miller Lite in hand,
Starting point is 00:12:43 grilling doesn't just taste great, it tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan. Or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories per 12 ounces.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Hoo! Don Lebatard. If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain that would be. Stugats. Standing outside with my mouth open wide. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain that would be. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats. So I come in last night and our executives are genuinely concerned about, well we can't
Starting point is 00:13:38 make anybody cut, like it has to be safety first. It has to be, we've got an emergency flash flood situation But draft Kings is like tapping a watch. Hey, we need more hours of content than anyone else does and fast breathing on our neck gambling giant Like yes, but we what we need to feed the machine. What do you think we built those studios for you for? Like you got to get in there because the big sports time so it's just unfortunate that today's show has been canceled and we can talk about all the uh... wonderful things that happened for boston sports last night in what
Starting point is 00:14:14 uh... was probably one of the best nights in boston sports history with tom brady being inducted into the hall of fame and the celtics going up three oh but it's unfortunate we we can't talk about that today because it's the first ever show postponement because employees first, health first. Was it postponed, was it delayed, was it canceled? I'm not certain, like what are we doing here? Canceled.
Starting point is 00:14:37 We are talking right now. Right, technically we are talking into a microphone. No, but it's a postponed show. We can't talk about sports, weather, delay because we've gotta talk about everything that's happening in South Florida The show is too self-involved. It's narcissistic at navel gazes. No one can get in today because everyone's scared So are we gonna do a double header?
Starting point is 00:14:54 A baseball a double header like that shows. Yeah, so it's postponed Maybe we can do that too far. I like the word play but shut up. So I had an option to come in today. I mean, you did have an option. Man, what do you mean? I didn't read the email. Oh, because you're not in the slack. It was optional for everybody. And you guys are saying you felt pressure to come in today.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But it's a pressure on myself. Like the email was perfectly. You don't have to be here. Family first, safety first. But I just I was just like, ah, damn it. Dad, the great ones tell the weather not today, and that's what we did here in the studio. We told the weather not today.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I am surprised that Chris and Roy were able to make it in from Broward. I will explain to people, Stuguts, because I am actually following this stuff closely enough that it is very bad for my mental health. I made it from Palm Beach. All three of you made it from Broward, and yesterday when he left the show because of
Starting point is 00:15:47 what Lucy and Jessica were driving in, Chris was the first executive to alert anybody, hey, we've got a real weather problem approaching because Florida has been under three days of flash flood alerts. It's all over Florida. It's worse in Sarasota than it is here because it's it's the kind of rain that is not uh... precedent it you get in one day way too much rain and what ends up happening is uh... everything floods even things that i've
Starting point is 00:16:17 never before seen flood even places in south florida where i'm like that flooded too easily wait till king tide gets hearing god forbid were already flooded and in king tide and then a hurricane comes but like we're in the middle of it right we're but we're broadcasting from this and i that the part that i can't get my head around stugatsi we're totally helpless like so what good does it do to talk about it again and again and complain that the media is not covering it correctly and complain that all our leaders are bought?
Starting point is 00:16:48 As incidentally, by the way, young people are more active here than anybody because of how mad they are at their parents and grandparents for using up the entire earth. So there are a whole bunch of helpless young people out there who actually want to do something but they don't want to be on these climate change science meetings I'm in on the weekend that are ruining my weekends. Who wants to be in on those where you can just hear scientists scream like, why does no one know what's coming? How do we get peacefully arrested?
Starting point is 00:17:15 Every weekend? Not every weekend. Five weekly can we make it? Too much. Too much, too much. Like really, do you need an exact number on this? I do. I'm concerned about you I mean, I'm trying to help how
Starting point is 00:17:29 By being on a conference call. I don't want to be disrespectful What are you doing in those meetings? I am finding ways to make noises and how do we get peacefully? Arrested some talk. Do you talk on these? And he brings them to the masses. Right, yeah. I look and I'm like, hey, Valerie, look, it's Kendall Roy in the Zoom. Oh, at least it's a Zoom meeting.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I have this at a sad- Hey, is that Mark Ruffalo? This on Zoom is less sad than I had it. I had it at like a convention hall where you guys just meet every week. Honestly, no, all I'm doing is a Zoom call in my kitchen and it really is, hey, Valerie, look, John Hamm. Okay, that's why, okay, now I get it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 It's a bunch of people getting together with climate scientists, they yell and scream, can you guys do anything? I want in. Yeah, and it's deeply depressing. And it's why today's show is canceled. Time. Unfortunately, because it would have been a good day to talk sports. And it's deeply depressing and it's why today's show is canceled Unfortunately because it would have been a good day to talk sports. I think we had Dan Hurley booked. Oh
Starting point is 00:18:38 Should we do that? I think I mean let's try to do that. It's a cat. We showed you to get asked about weather It's first interview that we should do that We should do 15 minutes with Dan Hurley climate change We can but I want to I think we can I think we can first interview We used to be that about one question at the top and then like I were just we used to be that The thing that would ask Dan Hurley 12 minutes of climate change questions We did Billy did that stupid mass dancing show the day after the Super Bowl Oh boy, I think we have a video clip of Billy walking in the rain yesterday after work in like a full wetsuit Do you guys have that video really there for people yet? Look there's Billy right there
Starting point is 00:19:24 He's in the yellow right there running across and then like a full wetsuit. Do you guys have that video we can throw up there for people? Yeah, look there's Billy right there. He's in the yellow right there running across and like a full like the Gordon's fisherman, like a full fisherman's outfit. You know what? Can you guys do me a favor? Can you guys get Billy in the zoom real quick because he couldn't get in today? I just want to talk to him because he discovered that outfit because he's a hoarder. He didn't know it was in his car. He throws his car as a closet and he throws so much shit in there that he fished around and he found something that prepared him for that kind of storm even though I don't think any of us are prepared
Starting point is 00:19:55 for that storm. Do any of you even own clothing like that? No. No. No. No. But yesterday it all paid off for Billy. The hoarding all paid off. That's why he does it Dan. I mean in the event of an emergency he had one yesterday, and he was prepared I had a tiny umbrella not like that the one you have Dan
Starting point is 00:20:11 It was kind of like maybe like a pizza pie umbrella, so it's very small So I wore a trash bag out that was kind of my my protect you came in with a trash bag Didn't you I saw what trash bag like did you discard it you started? I got it honestly Tony you've never looked more like Superman like you looked like a superhero coming in here trying to Save the show and do a sports show today. Unfortunately, it's been canceled Which I mean good because I had a lot of takes on Luca Dan. Nope. Not right now. It's too bad Yeah, yeah that we're not gonna be able to get to that today because that would mean in five minutes Tigers minus one
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah, I know you want to talk sports and it's just unfortunate that there are no sports to talk about today and that it's the first postponement in show history we have never had that happen before and I and by the way I think we got to get used to it like because this is the new normal right this is just a day in june hurricane season is started but none of the storms have actually gotten here i've been talking honestly stigarts i'm not joking when i say this i've been talking with people about preparing for apocalypse situations because where i live
Starting point is 00:21:21 we will be evacuated it's not a place where I can stay if one of these storms comes here. No you should get out are those separate meetings those conversations? From the climate change people? Yeah well I come out of the climate change meeting and then I immediately go to metal arc and I'm like you guys have to create a scenario where this breathing gambling monster that wants the 70 hours of content a day can make sure that I can broadcast from somewhere other than lost at sea. You gotta get these meetings back to back.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Just get them all over with one chunk of the week. Why do you think I'm not sleeping? Had you guys thought about that? Are you gonna move? Like seriously, I'm concerned about you. You live right on the ocean, man. Stugance, Stugance, you can't move in South Florida. We're building straight up. If there's a storm here, it's just going to be cranes
Starting point is 00:22:10 hitting each other. There's no place to live that's affordable. Everything's being built straight up. Man, I'm just trying to get you up to Broward County, a little closer to me. That's all I'm trying to do. It's safe up there. You want to go to lunch with them? You guys going to have nice lunches? I don't live on the water. I'm surrounded by land. I mean, yeah, it floods, but you know what? It's safer. I mean, nice studios up there. Do you guys think, I ask this question sincerely because, you know, I'm looking at video and one day Vegas' downtown floods,
Starting point is 00:22:41 and the hotels are flooded, and I and I'm like okay that's the desert how how does that happen and so I imagine the inconvenience of that because flooding it kills a lot of people it's dangerous people were sent home yesterday flash floods it's dangerous for for life obviously but there are places flooding all over America and the world that didn't used to flood because of the amount of rain coming and I am just genuinely curious because when it affects you it gets more personal. The amount of cars stuck on our roadways yesterday made me feel deeply for the people who have those cars and might not be able to get to work today And is just the beginning of whatever the hell is coming this way on both coasts you guys
Starting point is 00:23:31 Thought or think what when you see that there's flooding in strange places that aren't connected to you We're all gonna die I have top five athletes that can outweather. Oh, please. It's too bad we're canceled today and we're not doing a show. I shouldn't do this. No, well, we would have done this if we had been doing a show today. Top

Oh, we really care about the environment, so please, hang up your towels and get out of here. You just don't want to wash these towels, because it's gonna cost you money to wash these towels. Alright? This whole thing about you saving the whales whales or you're saving the turtles or whatever because I put my towel on a hanger, it is so full of it. All right? You

Am I missing something? What am I missing? Nail right on the head. Am I missing something? The end of the story. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats. The dolphin hummed my father and we're all wondering why.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Let's turn on the news and find out how we're gonna die. During the break, Stugatz is trying like the producer that he's always been at his core. You have to understand that the best Stugatz would be as program director and producer on how to make other people great. Stugatz has spent the entirety of the break trying to figure out in the panic of the worst broadcasting situation, which is the baseball rain delay filler. When broadcasters get the filler, the rain has come in and like, you gotta stretch,
Starting point is 00:28:07 you just gotta talk about stuff. Stu Gotts is working the phones during the break. Let's get some rain delay filler guests. Let's get Craig Minervini. Let's find just anyone. Where's Niner? We need to talk to somebody about how does a team prepare during a rain delay?
Starting point is 00:28:24 How do you rest? And then the answer is are just eat skittles in the clubhouse and and it's just the same show but you gotta do for ninety minutes cuz you don't know when the third inning is gonna restart when you're filling time and you filled enough time and you can't fill any more time you will grab it anyone all right man we don't have to do the rain delay filler show yet because we've only gotten to cancel we can't do today show weather conditions is the first ever postponement in the history of our show i mean was already in dallas on metal art dollars it's unfortunate that he
Starting point is 00:28:53 will not be able to give us any of the coverage there from dallas uh... but i mean does join us uh... where what what do you want to talk about well i see that i'm really excited because the show is canceled we have a plethora of topics to talk about? Well, actually Dan, I'm really excited because the show is cancelled We have a plethora of topics to talk about let's start with you opening an umbrella inside the studio now on my podcast Cinepho, but you get wherever you get podcasts we have this term called 20th century B or 20 CB for short and When you call something 20 CB
Starting point is 00:29:21 It's things that were staples of the 20th century that somehow after the year 2000, 2001 just withered away in popular culture. One of them is, I remember in the 20th century, anytime any character on any TV show would open an umbrella inside a house, you know, indoors, the worst luck would ever would happen to this person for the rest of the episode. Just terrible luck, getting struck by lightning and you know becoming bankrupt all types of bad things would happen if you open an umbrella indoors and you open an umbrella indoors in the last segment and nobody even batted an eye and I thought to myself damn 20 CB it's interesting that you would say that though because the bad stuff's already happened like they, all the, I'm opening the umbrella,
Starting point is 00:30:06 how much worse can it get that I'm spending my nights up at night talking to climate scientists about what do I do about our studios if a 200 mile an hour storm comes through? Dan, Dan, Dan, you poor sweet innocent child. You think the worst has already happened? Come on, man. Hey, you're in the building, aren't you? The building is,
Starting point is 00:30:26 for now, of sound stature, right? Like electricity is working. Let me explain something to you. Let me explain something to you. I mean that you don't seem to understand. What I watched on my television yesterday that was sports was the worst thing happening. It cannot get worse than that. I open up an umbrella because how much worse are you going to make it after this? But it's too bad we can't talk about that today because the show's been postponed. Kick, save, and abute. Yeah, we can't talk about that today. Were there other bad things that are happening? I read in new york times today that the hero acts are the black women use uh... in their hair
Starting point is 00:31:07 is actually causing cancer an alarming rate uh... particularly you during cancer it turned out these products have a lot of carcinogens in them i think they're about over a thousand banned substances in here relaxes uh... that abandoning in europe but here are A-OK because we just
Starting point is 00:31:26 don't seem to care about black women in this country. That's pretty bad too, Dan. And wouldn't you say? Yes. Can I send him to the penalty box while he's in Dallas and we're in the middle of a post-pon-show? You said no sports. Oh, yeah. I am concerned about all the recalls.
Starting point is 00:31:40 There's a recall on candy now. There's a recall on cookie dough. I'm concerned about this. Like, all the things we thought were healthy, I'm not certain they are healthy. It's gonna turn out that cigarettes are the healthiest thing you can do. You thought candy and cookie dough were healthy.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I thought you were gonna let me get through that one there. Billy has appeared in the Zoom. He couldn't get to work today either because of storm and flood. We have a video of him being prepared somehow yesterday with clothes none of us actually have for the apocalypse. Billy, weather hero, Billy joins us now. You weren't able to get in, Billy, too much flooding or what happened? Well, no. We were supposed to be recording things for God Bless Football
Starting point is 00:32:19 and I had scheduled them for this day because this is normally my work from home day. So I spoke to my manager and they said okay you handle that and then the solution was Stugatz can come in. So now I'm in the exact same problem I had before. So you were supposed to do something with Stugatz and Stugatz came in and he wasn't supposed to come in? Correct, yes. Stugatz was not scheduled to be there today. We had a day's full of recordings lined up so I got the okay to do that and then Stugatz said I'm going in today. And I said, well, that kind of nullifies
Starting point is 00:32:48 all of the workarounds I had come up with to get that done. I'm a hero. Okay, so. Yeah, I didn't know he was going in. So. Okay. I have to reschedule some things. As Tony said earlier,
Starting point is 00:32:59 the great ones tell the weather, not today. I mean. Well, he did say uh... that he didn't know that he had the option of coming in and not coming in and he said it was because he uh... hadn't read the slack but that's not the reason it's he wasn't supposed to be here today so still got on the storm day when the show was canceled stood out shows up he was not scheduled now to my knowledge
Starting point is 00:33:22 billy was scheduled he got out of it and because we were supposed to do God bless football he's right about all of this and the replacements after speaking to after speaking to Sugats by the way who said you got to get out of that we have recordings during the day and I said okay like I'll talk to them we'll see if we can make it work and we made it work and then he went in I didn't know the replacement plan for you was me but I didn't know we could still be in the weeds with all this flooding. Yes, Chris, so I thought we were calling Billy because of what he found in his car yesterday,
Starting point is 00:33:51 but it turns out Billy's resentment shows right at the start, because of course he should be mad. He planned a show, and Stugats is here, and we're not doing a show today because we've been postponed. Billy, how did you find that stuff in your car? Do you know anybody else who has that stuff? You are somehow the most prepared person in South Florida and postponed. Billy, how did you find that stuff in your car? Do you know anybody else who has that stuff?
Starting point is 00:34:05 You are somehow the most prepared person in South Florida for what it is that's presently happening. Well, so yesterday I actually got caught off guard. The day before I strolled in with this, I knew that I had this raincoat set, so I have a jacket and I have overalls, and then I have boots. I bought the boots years ago
Starting point is 00:34:24 when we were at the Clevenander and we had to walk from 7th Street and I've justs and then I have boots. I bought the boots years ago when we were at the Cleveland Under and we had to walk from 7th Street and I've just left them in my trunk because the day that I wore them I got this bad burn right on top of my shins because they're so long I didn't know you had to have protection. So I walked three blocks with rubber on bare skin so I got a nasty burn and I said I'm never wearing
Starting point is 00:34:41 those again so those have lived in my trunk for about six or seven years. And then the raincoat and jumper set that I have here, I bought when I do this annual food drive, it was very rainy one year. So I went to Home Depot and I bought about six sets. I bought for everyone in my family that was there. And I lucked out because I'm a hoarder.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Sometimes things just stay in the right place. And this time this set was in the right place and it was in my car. So I walked in, I snuck in on Monday wearing the full set with the jacket and the pants and the rain boots and I think only Chris Cody saw me and I snuck right into the studio. I took it off, I got there early, it was fine, I let it dry in the corner. Then yesterday it wasn't raining when we got in and I wasn't expecting the rain but said, just in case I'll bring the jacket and the pants, but I left the boots in the car. And then there was very bad weather when we left. Lots of flooding, I had to go across the street to the car.
Starting point is 00:35:33 So I went over there and I didn't have my boots. So my shoes got all wet and now I have the sniffles because my feetsies and my socks and my shoes were all wet. So battling, but making do. So Billy, hold on a second, because that's the old Cuban myth of if you get caught out in the rain and you go back inside, you're gonna get sick,
Starting point is 00:35:49 so you're already at tributes. I should get that. Oh, sorry. That's video, Billy. I didn't give consent to film that. Okay, there we go. Billy, we're doing a show, and it's for an audio audience,
Starting point is 00:36:02 and when you go and say, oh, surprise, because there's video on the screen that only you're Reacting to the great Cody. It's not helping the show. It's being Chris's dad Tony you were saying I was saying It's just the funny of getting caught out in the rain and then equating that to sick is very 20 CB What does that mean? When it's century, you know what? Thank you, Meen. It happened in the 20th century, we used to talk about it all the time.
Starting point is 00:36:30 People would go outside in the rain, come back, and they got sick. Now? I will say this, so I was concerned about that because obviously the streets were messed up, it took a lot longer to get home. So I drove well over an hour with wet shoes and wet socks. And I said, this is gonna come back to bite me. So I drank some emergency when I got home. I didn't take a full shower, but what I did was I went and I sat at the edge of the tub
Starting point is 00:36:54 and I washed my feet in warm water. And I went knees down with warm water. Cause I thought, you know what? My whole body didn't get wet, but like knees down or wet. So maybe if I do the warm water, it counteracts the cold water. So I did that for like 10 minutes. I rubbed them, then I put on a towel
Starting point is 00:37:10 and then I put on socks immediately so that my feet wouldn't get wet. Cause I figured my body doesn't know if I'm taking a full shower or half a shower so I could trick my body by just doing knees down with warm water, but no, my body knew and I'm still getting sick now. It didn't work out.
Starting point is 00:37:23 So wait, you did half a shower, but then later on that day you did a full shower. Yeah, I mean, I did more of a soak, I would say, than a shower, because I didn't use soap. I didn't rub in soap. I thought that I could trick my body. That's why your body wasn't tricked. Because it was soap?
Starting point is 00:37:40 That's what I was trying to figure out. If the warm water washes off the cold water and the cold water, whatever it is that makes you sick from the cold water, or if you need the soap to get that water off. I figured after like three or four minutes in the tub with the warm water cascading down my shins and down my feet, that I'd be fine.
Starting point is 00:37:59 But I guess I needed the soap to wash off the cold water residue. It's also the scrubbing action. You need to scrub it off. That cold water just doesn also the scrubbing action. You need to scrub it off. That cold water just doesn't come right off. You've got to scrub it off because it really sets in, especially if it's particularly rainy. That's where the disease comes from.
Starting point is 00:38:13 It comes from the residue that was not scrubbed off. It just clung to the surface of your skin. Well, let me ask you a question, me, since you seem to know about this, because I was trying to figure out, is it the cold rainwater that is on my to know about this, because I was trying to figure out is it the cold rainwater that is on my legs that does this or is it the standing water that I had to walk through the puddles?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Do the puddles have the sick germs and then they stick to you? That's interesting, that's a great question Billy. Actually, they're both one and the same, if you think about it. The standing water came from the rainwater, but the rainwater coming down, probably I would say 25, 30% disease in it.
Starting point is 00:38:50 But then when it comes in and stands, they don't get together. Think about all the other diseases and all the water all coming together like at a convention. And they're like, hey, what's up, man? Well, I just got here. Okay, well, I've been here for like five minutes. It's actually pretty cool here.
Starting point is 00:39:02 You wanna go infect some people? Why not? And that's what happens. So it's like a disease orgy. I want to call it orgy. I would call it more of like a convention. They're there for work, Billy. They're not there for fun. Guys, what happens when the AC gets brought into the mix, right? You've got the standing water, you've got the rainwater that's falling from the sky, but then the AC and all the cold air from that starts hitting you. Where does that play in the fact in the factor?
Starting point is 00:39:29 Well, I mean, look, AC now you're just tempting fate right there, right? Because the AC actually makes it more comfortable and more willing for the disease to work, right? The disease does not want to be uncomfortable. It wants to be cool, just like us. And it's like, Oh, thank you for blowing that AC in here. You know what? I feel extra productive right now. And that's when they really get to work infecting people. I turned on the heater in my car, hoping that I could make it warmer to counteract again,
Starting point is 00:39:50 the cold water that was on my feet, but it didn't work out. The heater? No, the heater, the heater doesn't work. Wait, once it's on you, Billy, like here's the deal. Oh my God, I can't believe I have to explain any of this. Once it's on you, now you gotta scrub. Now you gotta get in there with the soap and scrub it off. So turning on the heater after the fact is like putting a bandaid over like a gunshot wound. That's not gonna work. Did someone say heater? Backstreet's back, all right. Since the dawn of mankind, we've cooked our food over an open flame and debated the best way to grill. One thing not up for debate, grilling and beer always go together.
Starting point is 00:40:27 But not just any beer would do. Whether you barbecue, text in style, or just celebrate Wednesday with burgers and dogs, I love Miller Lite. Every single time my team plays on television, I am sitting behind that television screen with a Miller Lite or three. Miller Lite keeps it simple. Undebatable quality, taste as great as your barbecue. It's the beer that strips away everything you don't need
Starting point is 00:40:50 and holds on to what matters the most. With the Miller Lite in hand, grilling doesn't just taste great, it tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan. Or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories per 12 ounces.
