The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: The Vigorous Swig

Episode Date: July 25, 2024

Today's cast: Dan, Greg, Chris, Jeremy, Jessica, and Tony. We are blessed with a second Greg Cote day this week, and it's off to a great start. While fans of WFAN are crushing Stugotz for his lack of prep, Greg is as prepared as ever. He brings the energy by questioning Ron Magill's brush with death, eliminating people from his birthday guest list, and questioning the validity of SOME service animals. Then, Greg tells the story of the burial of his cat Puddin'. Plus, we bring in Taylor to give us an update on his embarrassment while listening to Stugotz this morning.

Without knowing that you guys were about to turn the microphones on, Greg Cody just said to me, like like as you were counting me in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, because he didn't have his headsets on, heard you had my nemesis

Zaslow on yesterday. Zaslow says he's invited to your birthday party because you said everybody who's on air here is invited to your birthday party. Yeah, that's open to debate. Sorry, Zaslow. Don't count on it. I'm not in charge of that list. Okay. I didn't even want to brought up. Christopher brings it up.

All of a sudden it's in the ether. David Sampson wants to go too. Oh, he's invited. Wow. We love David Sampson. No, he's a big fan. Not sure about the Samson no he's a big fan not sure about the end one he's a big fan of yours no I'm a big fan of David Samson's I always have been all right I'm a little worried Chris here he just he didn't know the microphones are gonna come on and he hasn't been really

alert this week about everything that's happening around here his stamina on Tuesday became a wonderful problem in that the whole show derailed for the last hour in the most wonderful way because his stamina fell apart because he'd been off for a month and he'd forgotten what it's like to get back on him doing two shows this week you see how sluggish he's come out of the gate right doesn't really know doesn't know he's on air doesn't know are we talking privately all of the talking publicly a lot that Tony that is good that is good analysis by you real

lazy slop right out of the gate not giving us a not giving us great strength out of the seat but in honor of the spirit of the seat maximum lazy because Jeremy came to me before the show today and said that the WFAN subreddit, and God almighty, that's a phrase I never wanted to utter. I don't want to be, I believe that to be the path in hell that has flames on the side and every once in a while somebody jumps out of the shrubbery and stabs you with a pitchfork, it's the WFAN subreddit, like whatever that comment section is,

but evidently it has turned violently on Stugatz. Stugatz thought he was gonna go to New York and get some sort of hero's welcome because he's back in sports radio and they're telling me that's not what's happened. I thought the subreddit was bad, so I went to Twitter and was like, oh, maybe that'll be different and then saw the first tweet this tool Stu Gatz is the most annoying non talented person in sports media

How bad is it how bad has the reception been that bad well because Taylor around here has It's been interesting to watch Taylor who thinks of stugatz is a bit of a hero and at the very beginning of all of this this week taylor was very excited and now he's mortified because he's seen the inner workings of the machine and he wrote me at six thirty this morning it's just breathtaking how he goes to host new york sports radio and still refuses to watch what people want to talk about i'm insulted how he cannot be

bothered to watch what people are talking about the worst part of it is all he needs to do is fake it through the mat says his team it's his team! It's his team! This is the Don Leventor 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. Chris Cody, what kind of dad are we gonna get today? Is Greg Cody ready to rise above the slop that he just gave us in the first four minutes and give us greatness today the way that he did at the end of Tuesday's show when he became delirious and fell apart and the whole show fell in a ditch? I think he's gonna do fine,

but I don't think he's gonna be able to recreate tuesday cuz i was is a good show he was on it and he wasn't on it but that's when he you know works with them all right he is here and he is already swinging vigorously from the cup which is something he normally does only when he has done something great which he is not yet done today i'm anticipating greatness that's why i'm taking a pre greatness week okay you love to refer to a swig as vigorous. Well because of

the way I mean look at the way you do it show me. No, do it again. No, cuz you do it because you do the Kermit sipping tea I'm so good I love all the things that I am my god my farts smell like roses. Like, I'm so great. You're getting all of that out of the way I sip coffee. Does give it off. You're getting all of that. Like, I'm saying how great I am by the way I sip. Put it on the pole, Juju.

Does Greg Cody sip coffee as if he's incredibly pleased with himself? It's not ridiculous. It's how it happens every time. Again, he's incredibly pleased with himself. It's not ridiculous. It's how it happens every time. Again, he's anticipating greatness, Dan. He's getting his mind right for the swigs of greatness later on by establishing the greatness of swigs now. Tony's got it right, man.

He nailed it. We'll see how good you are today without the constant support of Billy. Let's see if Tony can give you what it is that you need. He's already done it. Yeah, yeah, let's see. Nobody said it better than Tony, Justin. Thank you.

We will see together as a show. Look, I am intent. We celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, and I am intent over the course of the next year of really showing people the innards of our thing in all of the unpleasant ways, because Stugatz isn't faking it with this is a contract here, you know how I'm gonna get a big contract? By being my worst possible self and see, and let the bidding war start. And so we're gonna have some messiness here.

Some of the stuff that broke up, Joe Budden and Rory and Mao, like some of that stuff is gonna make an appearance, and I want everyone to see the innards of this, it's gonna make people uncomfortable. But one of the things I want to show them is the constant Billy support that Greg gets on Tuesdays that Greg has somehow been fooled into thinking is real and has made Billy one of the most popular characters in the history of this show

because he's faking it on Tuesdays in his support of you. No, it's real. And I told Tony before the show, if he supports me in a billyish way, he's earned an invitation to my... Another great point by Greg, Dan. Thank you, thank you, Tony. I tell you, man, the kid's learning.

Tony's not yet invited to, is Jessica invited? Jessica's invited. Oh yeah, for sure, yeah. You gotta draw the line somewhere. Tony's not yet invited to is Jessica invited Jessica's invited. Oh, yeah for sure. Yeah, yeah Draw the line somewhere Tony's in but we're in with the in crowd, but where's the line for you? Where's that? Where's the line for you? Lewis probably? Oh I'm kidding If you're on the line though, is it like tie goes to the runner is it like when it's On the line in tennis that's in that means that Lewis. Yeah, I mean Lewis is in but he's right on the line

It's like Mission Impossible where Tom Cruise slides right under the garage door. He's like just getting in Yeah, that's all up to my wife. You know any anyone insulted by not being invited blame or lane Is Jeremy invited? Oh, he's a being invited blame Erlene? Is Jeremy invited? Oh, he's a member of the Hee Haw Three. Come on, Dan. Are you insane? Don't try to sow division.

Of course. I'm asking, I don't believe the audience knows who's invited to the 70th birthday party. It doesn't sound, are you busy with your text? What's going on with your texts? I can't do everything at once. Right, so how about you just do the show? Okay, how about I'm doing, what I was doing just now was turning down my volume so that...

Good job, Greg. You wouldn't hear... Mid-show, that's the perfect time to do that. You know, the phone goes off, and then you're yelling at me because I'm... It didn't turn my phone off, so that kind of thing. Yeah, Jeremy, he's a valuable member of the Hee Haw 3. Of course he's going to be there. There's a rumor that the Hee Haw 3 might perform a song at the party.

I can't confirm that. I just made it up, just a second. Lovely birthday cruise, perhaps. It's been a lovely cruise. Birthday. We'll see. Speaking of Greg Cody related rumors, I am told that you question Ron McGill's almost died at the hands and the feet and the horns of a buffalo in Africa. I am told you

question that story by sources and I'm told after you said I'm a very good bet. See that was not a vigorous swig. That was a, I don't know, what's the opposite of vigorous? That was a languid swig. Casual? A very casual swig. Conveying not overconfidence or greatness, but the opposite. After you announced that you are a very good bad driver, and we learned you ran into only one hunger wall in Ireland and also—

Famine wall. I'm sorry. My bad. My bad. It's kind of the opposite. I mean, is it? I feel like they're kind of synonymous there. If there's famine, there's hunger, but still, my bad, famine wall, great potato shortage of 1840, my bad.

The thing that I was saying about his driving, he claimed to be a good, bad driver, and we then learned he ran into a famine wall, he ran into something in a garage, he ran into shrubs, and then I was told by a source that you recently were in the car with some other people, I don't know whether you ran over the curb right then or earlier, but that the car had to be taken in for all four rims to be readjusted because of how poorly you generally drive.

I mean, like many people, I'll hop a curb occasionally. Pardon me. Sitting in this stugat chair has gotten to my voice. Not the coffee. No, Greg coffee. What? Greg just hit the off button. That's $15 in fines. Just hit the off button. I already gave you a euro 10 the other day. Greg just hit the giant button that says off the lower left hand corner. He usually doesn't sit there and he usually doesn't have control over his own microphone button.

Thank you. So we should give him a little bit of time to adjust. Thank you. $15. You're already invited. You don't gotta butter me up. Okay. I'm hoping for a plus two.

Well, Willow, no dogs allowed, sorry. No children other than my beloved granddaughter and no dogs allowed. Unless they're service dogs. You know, you don't want to get in the way of that. Heaven forbid I would prevent a dog from going on my birthday yacht because, you know, somebody claims they need a support animal.

I mean, and maybe they do. Don't get me wrong. Are you against service animals? Is that the take? You know, it's gotten out of hand. You can't go in an air...you can't walk anywhere now. And Lebatard brings a dog into a supermarket, which is ridiculous. You can't...I'm walking...I dealt with a lot of airports recently, going to, you know,

Ireland. And you can't go in an airport now without seeing dogs being walked through an airport But you never see a dog take a crap In an airport. I always say to my wife What? What are you doing? The dogs got to go when it's got to go say that to your wife But you never see a dog take a crap, but they must. I mean, what happens when a dog takes a crap in an airplane?

The guy sitting next to him is like, calling the stewardess or his flight attendant? Most dogs are potty trained, right? Are they? Yeah. Not my dog. Jumping Charlie. They don't go to the bathroom that often. I mean...

Anytime someone comes over my dad's house, Charlie starts peeing all over the floor everywhere. It's ridiculous. Oh, he's an excited peer. I guarantee you, Lebatard's dog is taking a crap in the middle of the vegetable, canned vegetable aisle. Well, we know that, and he didn't pick it up. There's no question about that. At Lebatard Show, I've gotten a number of different questions

you guys think I'd buy canned vegetables. You buy zero vegetables. That's funny. Tony's on it today, man. Thank you, Greg. All questions to be put on the poll at LeBittard Show. Have you ever seen a dog take a crap in the airport? Is it okay to bring a dog to the grocery store?

And are you for or against service animals? Because Greg's going very close to... Look what? No, you don't... Talking to the mic. Greg, the microphone. animals because Greg's going Greg's going very close to look what no you don't talk into the mic the microphone just that's right what is that picture what's the picture microphone keeps falling don't paint me don't paint me anti-service dog please what I'm saying is you know a lot of fraud going on with the service dog situation okay if you truly need a service dog more power to you bring it anywhere you like except on my Birthday yacht that by row what's that except in your row? Oh, I mean, it's it's just I don't want to be in a row with a

I would rather be in a Sitting next to a cat or walling baby infant then sitting next to a catarwalling baby infant than a dog. It's just a bad decision by you. It's not true. Catarwalling? Put that on the poll. Catarwalling?

What does that mean? You know, balling, a balling baby, B-A-W-L-I-N-G. How are you feeling right now about how everything's going? I feel great. Yeah, you feel like it's going well? You know, I'm taking vigorous swigs out of my coffee so I must feel great. Hey, it's Mike Ryan. How do you like to grill your barbecue? Tell me. I'll be quiet. I'll stand back. I'll listen for approximately two and a half seconds. Wow. A lot of great suggestions in there. Let me give you a suggestion. I need everybody in

the audience to pair their barbecue with Miller Lite. I've been doing a lot of travel lately and I really reveled in the fact that I got to stay home with my family. It was hot out. It was a perfect day for the pool. And what goes good with that? Miller time, of course. You know, that's what I was getting at. I don't like debates. And that's why I go with Miller Lite because it's got undebatable quality. It tastes as great as your barbecue. It's a beer that strips everything away that you don't need and holds on to what matters most. It's the light beer with the most taste, less filling, at only 96 calories that is perfect for when you're eating some barbecue outside with your family. With a Miller Lite in your 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 Miller Brewing Company Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories per 12 ounces. Don LeBotard! Many of you, by the way, are writing in and you're saying, Dan, quit being so mean to co-hosts that you always deem incompetent. That's the formula, man. Me being mean to the co-hosts is what allows Stugats to take a very wealthy vacation right now. Stugats.

It's a winning position for everyone but me. Have you guys not figured this out yet? That's the whole thing is me being rotten straight man as everyone else gets to be incompetent and I yell at them for being incompetent and here's the miracle of it it's the magic elixir. Bad, which is the only thing Greg Cody can be, becomes good and lovable. And it's because standing next to obnoxious strident me makes everyone look that way. And the brush with death helped. Yeah, that was planned by me.

The whole thing was contrived. This is the Don Lebuter Show with the StuGards. To reiterate, I am not anti-service dog. I don't mean to... The last thing on earth I want to do is demean people who genuinely need a service dog. I'm pro dog. I've owned several dogs. Buried all but one of them.

What? The current one, yeah. Yeah. Jumpin' Charlie is alive and well. Riley was not buried. Well, you don't use the word buried literally. Well, you actually literally buried a few of your cats many years ago.

Right, yeah, in shoe boxes. Puddin'. Puddin'. Yeah, yeah, wow, puddin'. I'd forgotten about her, or him, whatever it was. I think it was a gal, a gal cat. A gat. That's right.

Imagine being dumb enough to bury a cat in a shoe box, as if that's a casket. As if the shoe box will not disintegrate in the earth in a matter of weeks, but somewhere in my backyard. Aren't your deck shoes back there? Yeah, and you never remember where you buried something. So Puddin's over here, the deck shoes are over here.

It's just a crap shoot whether or not you dig. You didn't make a little marker though, Greg? No. Tombstone? No. For Puddin? Unmarked grave. I have- Popper's grave. Yep, thated grave. I have Poppers grave. Yeah

Number I yeah, I think I think that is what Earl woods his wife Did to Earl woods because she was so mad that Tigers dad her husband Cheated on her and shamed her. I'm pretty sure he buried him in the backyard Buried him in an unmarked popper's grave somewhere that doesn't even have a name on it. I'm pretty sure that happened. But I have a number of different questions for Greg Cody based on everything I just learned

and what I believe to have been just the articulation of one of the saddest cemeteries I've ever heard of. Two cats in shoe boxes, one of them named Puddin', I'm assuming, no G at the end, just an apostrophe, hanging in that box that's not a coffin, and a couple of 30-year-old boat shoes. Like, that's unbelievable. That's a sadder cemetery than the one Earl Woods is in.

That's an unbelievably sad cemetery. Why? Because, what do you mean why? Listen to what you just described. There are many dead cats there, as there are shoe boxes with dead cats, as there are shoes. In fact, there might be more shoe boxes.

I don't remember how you buried the boat shoes. Are they in a shoe box, or are they just two stray shoes? Inexplicably, there's two things buried. There's a cat and shoes. Some reason the cat is in a shoe box or are they just two straight shoes? Inexplicably, there's two things buried. There's a cat and shoes. Some reason the cat is in a shoe box and the shoes aren't. Yeah, that's true. That's a good point by you. I think Yaz is also buried in my backyard.

Is that a person or is that a? No, I named a. Isn't that a birth control? You know what? Isn't that a? That always annoyed me that they pro purloined the the great nickname Yaz Into a birth control pill, which I think is now defunct But my first adult cat I named Yaz after my childhood hero

And I think Yaz is also buried in my backyard, but I can't remember Your mother would know Christopher. I'll ask her. How is it? I mean, I can't believe there are many people in our audience who have buried something in their backyard and can't remember. Like put it on the poll please Juju at LeBittard Show. Have you ever buried something in your backyard and now can't remember whether you did or not? It's years ago. I understand that that's what you're blaming the memory loss on but if I were to bury a beloved thing in my yard, I would remember whether or not I had done it. Doubt it.

You guys think I'm the weird one here. Yes, absolutely. I don't believe that I'm the weird one here. I don't... People don't do that, especially today. Maybe that was a thing, like, in the 90s. Yeah, bring it back. Jack.

Yeah, what better way to memorialize a dearly departed pet than to keep him or her close. My grandfather also buried dogs in the backyard of my mom's childhood home. Like there was a dog, Leon, who lying in English, he looked like a lion, buried him in the backyard. Yeah. Thank you. But in a shoe box? Oh, not in a shoe box. He was a big dog. Yeah. I mean, honestly, Puddin' barely fit in that shoebox. Oh my god, so now you're squeezing, you're squeezing a cat, a dead cat, in tightly to a shh- Dearly departed cat. Get him a bigger shoebox. Does Puddin', is there a G at the end of that or not? No, there's not. It's an apostrophe, as you said.

Is there a G at the end of that or not? No, there's not. It's an apostrophe, as you said. Shoeboxes, by the way, are getting huge now. Has anyone else noticed that? Shoeboxes, they always used to be the exact same size, the little shoebox rectangle that everyone was familiar with. Now a shoebox, they can be this, they're unnecessarily big. So in the modern day, Puddin' would have fit very comfortably in today's shoebox.

It's only in yesterday's shoebox that it was a tight fit. Is he right about that? Because I know that some high-end shoes have bigger shoeboxes, but those aren't the ones you're buying. You're not buying anything over a hundred dollars I know some of the some of the best stylish not just dress shoes but Nike and popular shoes might come in a more ornate packaging meant to give off this is a treasure chest yeah but not the shoes you're buying the

Skechers you were I'm sure you're wearing again today you know i'm wearing my my deck shoes thank you uh... my sketches cost in the neighborhood of eighty dollars if i'm paying a hundred dollars for a pair of shoes uh... there better be a couple of twenty dollar bills in each shoe because it's ridiculous it's like people you know spending thousands of dollars tens of thousands of dollars

for an autograph for a piece of memorabilia uh... you know it's ridiculous he's right bring back cheap shoes tony i'm surprised to hear you say that that's in support of you but tony does not agree with what he said he's a shoe all issue we tell tony loves expensive shoes uh... i've got more questions uh... one of them who's to blame for jumping charlie's lack of discipline jumping a second pet

that you have that has no g another apostrophe correct yeah jumpin right the irony is that your big g guy and you know that you've got both the g's in your name that you wouldn't give to your cats. Puddin was named, Puddin was before my marriage. I mean Puddin was named and reared by Earline. Jumpin Charlie is a bad dog because of you. Jumpin Charlie's not a bad dog. He's a lot. Beautiful dog. Greg Greg. He pisses himself when the company comes over. That's textbook cited. That's He chews up your sofa. He used to he's not as bad about that. He won't stop jumping up and down. That's true

That's true names jumping Charlie. Dan. Yeah, I mean serious sitting Charlie. I ain't lying with that name Yeah, and he's got and he won't get a nail clip at the vet. That's a problem. The vet gives me sedatives to give the dog now. Next time I bring the dog in for a nail clip four hours before the appointment, I have to give the dog sedatives so he won't go so crazy getting his nail clipped. At LeBretard Show, is your dog a bad dog if the vet has to drug it to calm it down I don't know how you define a bad dog if all of the things I'm putting in front of you choose everything up won't stay off the furniture won't stop jumping around and pisses itself when the company comes over and we have to sedate the holy

Hell out of it in order to get it to interact with the vet I'm insulted here because when I used to pee on company, you'd get really mad at me. But Charlie can do it. Yes, exactly. Charlie's still an old puppy. He just turned two in March or April. And so he's still a young dog, learning, teaching, absorbing,

getting better. Doesn't chew you know barbie dolls and furniture nearly as much as he used to can you guys get for me what's happening with the w f a n subreddit is taylor out there ready so that he can give me an update on everything going on with stugotsch because uh... we are headed into a contract here while some of you are

going to get tired of me talking about stugots here or not being here we kind of have to fill the chair when he's not here greg cody is done so magnificently this week a lot of you loved is as low here i believe that this chair is the best chair anywhere in sports media while uh... i want to to get to everything that's happening in sports media because I don't think Tim Legler is going back to ESPN. It seems like around the horn is gonna be gone soon and so in pieces ESPN is making fundamental

changes that I want to talk about because the media, I don't know, Tim Legler is great and I look around and I'm like, and where's he gonna work next? Like where are the places for great people now that the market is shrinking? Stugart seems to think he's still living in the golden age of media when you can go to WFAN, star for a week and parlay it into something,

but he doesn't seem to be noticing that all of media is collapsing all around him. Taylor, is Taylor now ready, Chris Cody, so that I can go to him? Taylor, what is going on so far this week with your experience listening to Stugat's U? I felt for you, right, because sports radio is terrible, New York sports radio is a special kind of acidic and Stug gots not trying and doing New York sports radio is not something I would ever wanna listen to.

So how has that gone for you? Yeah, I'm perusing the Reddit right now on WFAN. It's not going well to say the least, but I'm insulted that Stu couldn't even be bothered to watch the Subway series with this dead period in sports. The Yankees and the Mets are playing. It was basically served up for him on a T. Hey, you just have to watch these games.

And to be honest with you, I'm more embarrassed in myself that I thought he would try this week. Well, here's a funny thing about you thinking that he would try in terms of on a platter, how little effort he's being asked to make. it's not even two baseball games he has to watch he's just got to watch the Yankees play against the Mets they could talk about that for four hours there it's just one regular season game the Mets 1-12 to 3 hey Grimace is great let's talk about that can you do you have any sound there Chris of because you told me before the show that uh... the host of already figured out that he is not in a

good camouflage that he doesn't know what he's talking about do you believe me that all that the yankees are in trouble did did this game in this series proved to you that this is the right now stuff did you watch the game less i did not watch the game as i mentioned before uh... any i was walking around the streets smoking joints. Did you watch the highlight package? I didn't watch the highlight package. What I do is I let Gio set the seed and then I just respond to whatever it is that Gio

says. Let me ask you something. This is why your takes are what your takes are on the Yankees because you just look at the record. It's not so bad. Anybody who thinks that Aaron Boone is going to be fired this morning, he's not going's not gonna be fired. He's not getting fired. What do you want him to do? What is he supposed to say to Garrett Cole before he goes? Yeah, and you know gives up six runs last night. Yeah against the New York Mets

How do you like that Eddie for a guy who didn't watch the game? Huh? It is it is wonderful Yeah, pull that out of so let me just I have made a career out of reading box scores Yeah, you really you are the patron saint of slackers You really are thank you. You are pure sloth and it's really admirable You're my guy Eddie. I'm looking at the shipping container the shipping container. I can't register what is happening there It feels like cringy disgust from people who love him. He's playing his hits, like this is, we know this monster.

So like, I've heard that sound a dozen times where he's just like, yeah, I look at the box score and they're just, I love, like they're marveling at it. Could argue that he's in peak form. He's doing Stu Gatz the best that he possibly can in that clip. Yeah, but he's supposed to be doing it so much better now at WFAN.

Like, watch the game, have a take, come on strong, and then you can come back here and be like, see, Dan, look how good I was. I still got the fastball. Let me know. Taylor, what do you got out there? It's one thing when he's doing it on this show. I'm in South Florida, away from New York. I listen to WFAN because it's cathartic for me. I want to hear the host bass DJ LeMahieu,

Gleyber Torres, a lack of hustle, a bad pitching staff. It's like he's in my house now and he's making a mess. Taylor's disgusted. Taylor was at the beginning of this he was buoyant like he at on Tuesday he was floating on clouds around here and now it's as if those clouds are covered in battery acid. I'm gonna defend Stugatz, okay? He's too big to give you an audition, okay? Stugatz is what he is. We all love him. He's going on WFAN to be Stugatz, not to all of a sudden transmogrify into this expert who watched all the games and has this unique takes now he's he's bigger and

better than that Taylor I do have to give him some credit though because he started to win me back today because he played a great game if George Steinbrenner was still alive where you say if George Steinbrenner was still alive and then you give a take so I think his was if George Steinbrenner was still alive Juan Soto would never hit free agency and and he said that and I was kind of like I'm back. He's totally right about that. You're always one good game away from getting everybody back by the way. One good game.

Terms and conditions apply. Don Lebatard. Let me get some golf ASMR. Stugats. Oh, f**k me. This is the Dan Lebatard show with the Stugats. Chris, what are you yelling at your father about? Your father's disgusted at the start of the segment. This is now, I think, the fourth or the fifth straight segment going back

to Tuesday where you've had to yell at your father as they're counting us in five four three two one headphones headphones dad headphones the one thing he has to do before the segment what is that photo it's a photo of myself when I was you yeah when I was about 17 or 18 years old Thank you. I just that Cody knows. I just noticed it today in my office Why I'm gonna take a nap now. I don't know I you know I noticed it Chris this is what it's going to be for brawny when he plays late in this career with LeBron dad dad the ball, the ball, bring the ball up, dad.

Imagine LeBron dribbling up the court and then I found a picture of myself. Then he just dribbles out of bounds. Dad, a little more energy. Now his narcissism, Chris, I feel for you, honestly, because my father, I've dealt with this and your dad has aged more rapidly than my father because he drinks, you drink 12 beers a night,

my father didn't do that. Why not? But I'm saying your deterioration has been faster than my father's. I appreciate you saying that, Dan. Thank you very much. That's so kind of you to say. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,

What are you doing here? No use your imagination?

Yeah, yeah, I refer to a picture of myself at 17 or 18 years old you don't see it So what are you gonna? Do use your imagination? What did I look like at 17 or 18? What did any of you look like? It's a colleague. That's right about that. Thank you Tony. That's what it looks like from back here. Macaulay Culkin? Yeah it's kind of hard to see but yeah. It's black and white. It is like one of those photographs that was taken by a guy with gunpowder hiding under a curtain in a 1910 saloon. Yeah. The one picture of your great granddaddy that still exists from back then He wouldn't understand the iPhone at all your great-granddad who had one photograph of him taken that way. Yeah, Chris, you should save this for your

Your father is a young man almost predates photography Your father as a young man is something that your Your father as a young man is something that your granddaughter is going to want to remember because your dad has been drinking 12 beers a day for 30 years and he's deteriorating at a rapid rate of speed. And so- Ridiculous. I mean, come on. Greg, you've been coughing for six straight years.

I haven't coughed in six years. Greg, you passed out at High Life from trying to stifle cough. Yeah, but that was a while ago. The new me doesn't cough. You fell at bowling like two months ago. Alright, I tripped. What happened? I tripped and fell. You know, sue me.

I thought you fainted. People do that. I may have fainted. I don't know, what difference does it make? Greg, I mean they got greasy. The lanes are greasy though, that's the thing too. Yeah, Bob greasy. What?

Um, whether I tripped or faint Yeah, Bob Greasy. What? Whether I trip or fainted, what difference does it make? Water under the bridge. Jeremy, I know that our audience is getting irritated with this, but I really do want to know what the reaction is to Stugats because Stugats is trying to parlay WFAN into a career move here or elsewhere. Like he's not hiding that.

That's something that he's trying to do as we celebrate our 20th anniversary. And so the reaction, what else as part of the reaction has made you wince and cringe in the commentary on, I can't believe that what I'm using for content here is the WFAN subreddit who the hell is he he sits there like he's freezing cap pulled down and a smirk on the whole time as He carries on like some big shot guy come down to sit with the kids. Okay. Let's see what he has dot dot dot all capital letters Nothing. What the fuck? I

All capital letters nothing what the fuck I Mean the first one he wasn't it wasn't all that right about I mean Stu gots is big man on campus coming down with this The the hat tilt down a little grin Stu gots is bigger than anybody at FAN not named Boomer or Syerson bigger than any one of them That's not up for dispute That's not and also smaller and. And also smaller. And also trying the move. He's been hiding under his hat for four years, hoping nobody notices he doesn't know anything. And what the move that he's doing, I remember, God, what was the name? I think it

was Jose Robles, the University of Miami second baseman, baseball player, who was like five foot four. And his teammates would just yell at him from the dugout in the field, hey, who left the cap on the field at second base? Because he was so small. Stugats is trying, Stugats at the end of this just wants to be a baseball cap that is in front of a microphone. And you don't even notice whether it's there or not.

It's just Chris Cody hitting a laugh track on his behalf because he's trying to physically hide. But he rolls like a big shot because all he's doing in New York is collecting parking fees. What's the sound that you said that you had for me, Chris, on him explaining how it is? I don't even know. What do you need a car for in in New York? What do you I don't believe? The grand majority of people in New York do not have a car, correct? Yeah, it's very expensive as we will hear about in this clip unless you got someone else covering the bill and you found free Street parking. I'm sure I did not know no no

parking garage for I did not know no no parking garage for four days Yeah, oh my god, I mean Leventhorne's paying for it so it doesn't matter oh is he you're not well I know we're not yeah, I mean I wouldn't personally nor with the company. It's been sitting there See I got it Monday. Oh So it's been sitting on the lower west side For three or four days now all All right, that's that's over under 1,200 bucks. What do you think over under twelve hundred twelve hundred bucks? Yeah, yeah, if I if I show up there, yeah, and the guy tells me hey twelve hundred bucks. I'm telling you right now

I'm walking out. I'm leaving the car there You can't do that, right? Saving you money. Saving Dan money. We are not paying for that, although I guess we are paying for that in that he's being paid to work there this week and so that money will go to paying him wastefully parking his car there. I wonder if Lower West Side is like a generational thing.

I've never heard anyone say that except Stugatz. Do we know if he's been to Metal Arc? Our offices are right across the street from there. Do we know if he has visited everyone else? Is there anything he can steal from our office? Gonna take the under. There's some dude wipes there, I think. Quote, he also laughs at everything he says

no matter how unfunny it is. How can you get a Sports Talk radio job and not like sports? Like what the f***, what's the point? Harsh. That's tough. I feel for Stu Gantz. And subreddit, I mean, what an insult. Why is it called subreddit?

This guy's thing is that he just laughs? Like a lot? What? Stupotity fan. Stu Gantz is Stu Gantz man, he's one of a kind. Dan I also have an update, Jorge Robles, not Jose, Jorge. He was 5'7", small for a second baseman. Thank you Tony, I appreciate that correction.

We pride ourselves on accuracy around here. Hey it's Mike Ryan. How do you like to grill your barbecue? Tell me. I'll be quiet. I'll stand back. I'll listen for approximately two and a half seconds. Wow. A lot of great suggestions in there. Let me give you a suggestion. I need everybody in the audience to pair their barbecue with Miller Lite. I've been doing a lot of travel lately and I really reveled in the fact that I got to stay home with my family. It was hot out. It was a perfect day for the pool. And what goes good with that? Miller time, of course. You know that's what I was getting at. I don't like debates. And that's why I go with Miller Lite, because it's got undebatable quality. It tastes as great as your barbecue. It's a beer that strips everything away that you don't need and holds on to what matters most. It's the light beer

with the most taste, less filling, at only 96 calories that is perfect for when you're eating some barbecue outside with your family. With a Miller Lite in your hand, grilling doesn't just taste great, it tastes like Miller Time. To get Miller Lite delivered right to When you're hiring for your small business, you want to find quality professionals that are right for the role. That's why you have to check out LinkedIn Jobs.
