Episode Date: October 30, 2024

Today's Cast: Dan, Stu, Greg, Chris, Billy, Amin, Tony. It's a Greg Cote Wednesday, and he is coming in fired up after he was excluded from our Tim Walz interview yesterday. It is also his book release day, so he has a little extra energy. Not to mention that his son, Pro-Porn Chris, has been weaponized by the right. Amidst all of the madness, Greg tells us why the fans that interfered with Mookie Betts at the World Series game last night should be banned for life, why the Cotes are a pro-corn family, and how eggs are breathable. It's an all-time classic of a Greg Cote hour that ends with the perfect punctuation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

But Chris, he brought in all his props.

He's ready, he's got Halloween props, he's got his hat to sell his book, but headsets on, doesn't know how to do it. Doesn't know how to. Greg, the headset goes above the hat. Like, what are you doing? We're five minutes from showtime. Fairness to Greg.

For the people, no one can see this. No one can see this. He just took his hat off to put the headsets on, to put the hat over him. To put the cap, yeah. Chris, this is so good. Your father came in and he's been maniacally grinning because he just had props.

He's got a bunch of props. He came in with them under his arm in what looked like a flimsy grocery bag. And he was so pleased with himself that he had seven or eight things to show off that he forgot to put on his headset. And then when Chris tells him to put on the headset, he takes off his baseball cap,

puts on the headset, and then goes to put the baseball cap on over the headset. Trucker's hat. Yeah. It's a handsome hat, Greg. Thank you, Billy. Is there a way I could acquire one of those? You mean the back of my day hat?

Yeah, yeah, I went on Amazon. I googled homemade hats and this came up. Wow. I got it for $1.99 Wow, they delivered it like not only the next day later that afternoon. Huh. So I feel really fortunate God bless Jeff's at Bezos. So you went on Amazon to Google hats. Yeah. Google homemade hats. On Amazon though. I don't know. Yeah, I think I did.

You know he Googled Amazon. A little search. Exactly right. What I'm telling you is the Earth is being destroyed by people like Greg Cody learning how to order things for a buck 99. Oh yeah, you know it. Wasting gas, wasting.

No, I'm saving gas. He's saving gas. I'm not going to a retail store. Correct, right. And I love retail stores, don't get me wrong. They gotta drop it off though. Amazon trucks. No, the Amazon trucks, I don't know if you've caught on,

there's a lot of electric Amazon trucks now, and I actually looked them up because I was curious as to like who makes these trucks, because they're kind of funky looking. They're not like your regular delivery trucks. It's Rivian, and Rivian, if you know, is like an electric car company, very pricey. They have like lots of SUVs.

And then I was doing more research and I was like, why is it like Amazon's probably paying upwards of like 120 grand for each Rivian van. How does this make sense financially? And then I found out Amazon owns like 17% of Rivian. So Rivian's vans, if you want one of those vans for yourself, because they're cool looking and they're nice and big, right now they're only doing bulk orders on those vans.

And Amazon, I think has like, don't quote me on this, but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of like 20,000, it could be like 100. I'm gonna look more into this. I'll give you more info. I know you don't want this info, but I was curious as to the Amazon vans. I do want the info, I just wanted the completed info,

not just partial info. Well, he's not done yet. That gives us a bunch more questions as opposed to very many answers. I don't know how their business works either. It struck me as odd that they would have that many vans and make any money when they're delivering something to Greg Cody that cost $1.99.

It seemed like whatever it is the cost is to get that to him was more than what it is that he paid for the item. Well they're making other deliveries too. It's not like they just went to his house and went home. Yes, thank you. I don't understand how the business works. I don't think any of us do. There are an alarming number of Amazon trucks out there

that don't make sense to me how it is that he's able to own that many trucks. I understand how it works. You buy something, you don't like it, you say I wanna send it back, and sometimes you're like, you know what, just keep it back and sometimes like you know what just keep it they've changed that though they've changed the policy like for certain people like that I've seen warnings on the internet what does that mean no I've seen warnings on

the internet like if you've updated like the latest terms and conditions or whatever like now they may charge you for like returns or like there's fancy print in there where it's like you may not get a refund like you may send it back and we made the time determine you may not get a refund. Like you may send it back and we may determine you're not getting a refund. In 2023, they had 10,000 Rivian electric delivery vans. And by the way, they keep track of everything. If you're like a serial returner, they know that.

If you like return more than three items in a row, you're red flagged. If you have, if you're Amazon, right, and you have all of these delivery trucks going on there, and I'm just wondering aloud, so I don't know if anyone has the answer right, does it make sense to like, insure each van, like why don't you just start your own auto insurance company

for your own vans if you're Amazon? All of which you could have answered before you started this conversation about Amazon. Curiosity, I'm just throwing it out there. conversation. He's still researching. I'm just curiousity. I'm just throwing it out there. This is the Don Leventor Show with the Stugats 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. Billy, what are you doing in your phone? You have ADD. What are you doing in your phone?

Right now? Specifically, I'm trying to schedule some guy bus football You were gonna start our show oh Yeah, you forgot to start our show. I'm not certain. That's how we left it, but No, I think now we discussed how we were gonna start I thought you're gonna introduce as you always do you or you start out the show, you say, Wednesday, October 30th, 2024, 9.01 a.m. Good morning, it's Dan Leventhal. We're here.

81 degrees out. Yeah, and then we get going, as is per custom. And then Greg's here, and he has his, I'm a little worried about Greg, because I see his latest book that came out yesterday, back in my day, but I don't see Pride of a Lion, which I wonder if that's discontinued or forgotten about. But Greg, that's not what we're talking about.

The Yankees. Oh. The Yanks. Dan, I'm very conflicted on this team. I do not wanna see the Yankees succeed, but I also do not wanna see the World Series end. And this might be viewed as a controversial take, but there was a play yesterday with Mookie Betts

going out into the crowd, and then a fan straight up just tried to rip his glove open and steal the ball out, which he did. Two fans, Billy. Yeah, well, I mean, there's a one primary suspect there. Right? Here's the thing. I know that a lot of people are not happy with, you know,

what went on there with the fans. Now, counterpoint, I feel like Mookie Betts was trespassing. Like he went out into the crowd, right? Like had that fan gone onto the field, he would have been arrested or thrown out of the game at the very least, right? Mookie goes into the crowd, and the fan did what the fan should do.

Like the fan, I would say, rallied the Yankees here. Yankees were looking like dead on arrival. This World Series was done. The Dodgers are just going to come in and celebrate a World Series championship on their home turf. And the Yankees fans said, no, not on my watch. I'm going to keep this series alive. And I feel like that fan should be commended.

I am totally with you, both fans. It was premeditated. They said if a ball came their way, they were going to do this to Mookie Betts. They it and to me it was a signal to the Yankee players hey we're out here willing to do whatever we have to do to win this game you guys need to follow suit and look what happened after that play huh they motivated the Yankees I mean they should be a part of the parade when the Yankees win this World Series. I'm serious.

The opposite Jeffrey Meyer, whatever his name was. Those two fans are the biggest losers in sports. And every Yankee fan in America and beyond should be looking at them going, no, no, you can't do it. That was egregious. That was felonious what they did. Somewhere Steve Bartman is going, what I did was like a little misdemeanor. What these guys did was a felony, and it was. The guy grabbing the ball. A felony? A baseball felony.

Trespassing. A fan felony. A baseball felony, okay. It was a fan felony. One guy grabs his arm, the other guy literally opens his glove and grabs the ball. That was an embarrassment. Those two guys should be banned from ever attending an MLB game again nationwide. I'd give them a ring. If the Yankees win, I give them a ring. I'd let them throw out the first pitch tonight. Wow, I like that. While being banned. You know what? I give him a microphone and I say, you know what? Sing a couple of Fat Joe songs for us.

I just want to know if the guy in the gray, the fan further deeper in the ballpark, does he know how baseball works? This ball is clearly caught already by Mookie Betts. And this guy in slow motion, it's hilarious to watch. As if, does he think if he pops that ball out that it's not a catch anymore? Like what was the end game for this fan?

And the beautiful thing, the justice in all this is that he didn't get the ball. Was that the ball popped out and went back on the field. Had he gotten the ball, I wish it would have exploded in his hand, not to injure him, but just to scare him. That's right, and exploding baseball. What would come out? to injure him. Why just to scare him? That's right and exploding baseball. Well, we come out and right just to scare him What comes out of the ball and it explodes like confetti or is it like actual? So it's not a joke ball. So this ball's not actually made with thread

It's a joke ball that goes into the stand just in case this happened just to startle the fan. No, no harm Actually, you're not just lest anyone think that your take is aggressive to hurt someone, you're saying, you're saying, okay, you're saying the baseball should explode to just surprise and startle him with confetti in his face. Right, make a big bang sound, but not actually injure. I love the fans making the case to the umpire,

like, what do you mean we did something wrong? Look, this is the line. That's's the best part it's like when you play pickup it's like the hands part of the ball that's not a foul are you kidding me trying to explain the rules to somebody else yeah but to Billy's point okay Mookie went into their territory the fans had jumped out on the field Mookie went into the stand I press charges and Mookie's not even upset he's fine with it just Greg before we move too far past this, should every ball be equipped with confetti just in case this situation happens?

Or you should know when it's going to happen, and then you kind of put the joke ball in there. I think all baseballs should be made to all of a sudden transition very quickly into exploding balls. Right. The minute that ball was in the glove and the guy tried to extract it somewhere in a you know a studio

MLB studio somewhere you push a button and the ball Transforms into an exploding ball and all of a sudden the joke is on that Yankee fan Greg. I love your idea I love your idea, but the technology might be ahead of its time Yeah, I agree. Here's an easier one. Have little electrodes inside the ball so you can shock the person if that happens. Yeah. Now you're hurting them though.

He was trying to avoid that. Just a light shock. Just a buzz. Just a buzz and a buzz like that. Like a pen, you know when you get a pen. I approve of that. I tried initially to train my dog that way and I felt guilty

even though they said that it's just a noise they said the lowest electrical shock is just a noise I don't know where you guys are doing this in terms of degrees but you have to scare the fan enough to make it funny for everybody but not hurt the fan and I don't think you could find the electrical dosage that does that perfectly. How about a snake? A snake in a can. Good idea. Now we're talking. Everyone loves to watch the person who is being scared by the snake in a can.

I mean, you love it. I mean, if you're a spectator. Every 10th ball has a real snake, though. So now you know. Now you've crossed the line. Well, not a venomous one. Care them out, Dan. Yeah, not a venomous one, just one in ridiculous. Not a venomous one. Care them out, Dan. Yeah, not a venomous one, just one in case.

Some people are afraid of snakes, Dan. Are you? I will tell you I am not afraid of snakes. I am. Wow. I'm not too proud to say it. I don't like snakes. I don't fear them, I don't like them.

Okay, I'd like to stay on point for just a second. I know you guys wanna wander into the wilderness here. I don't, there's snakes there. Okay, please stop. I brought up snakes. Please stop for just a second. I know you guys want to wander into the wilderness here. And just- I don't, there's snakes there. I brought up snakes. Please stop for just a second, Billy, all right? Because now that we've gotten your attention, I'm grateful for it, even though I didn't have it when I wanted it, I'm grateful that I have it now.

Thank you for providing it amid your ADD and God bless football duties. During this segment, I just want to recap totally. During this segment, Greg Cody has accused those fans of a felony, and Billy, on the total other side, has said that Mookie Betts should press charges. No, they should press charges against Mookie. I'm sorry.

They're not a felony misdemeanor. Forgive me, forgive me. Any fan felony, that's a fine. Moving violation, if anything. Look, it's moving very fast, so I'm having trouble keeping up. You're right. Billy, on the other side has said those fans should press

charges against Mookie Betts. Greg Cody says on the other side that they should be banned for life and not hurt, but shocked and punished in a way that makes him truly indignant. I said they should throw out the first pitch tonight. OK, you did say that, but this is the part that got buried somehow in the first eight minutes of insanity on the show, which is Stugaccio just said matter of factly that the Yankees are coming back.

Oh, yeah. They are winning this World Series. They absolutely are. I know no team has never has ever done it in the history of baseball, except for the Red Sox and the ALCS. And we have a movie out right now, Metalork Media. It's on Netflix. And everyone tells me it's great. It'd ALCS. We have a movie out right now, Metal Orc Media, it's on Netflix,

and everyone tells me it's great. It'd be great if we have that movie out and the Yankees do it in the World Series. And then you have your next movie 20 years from now, when the Yankees did it. And then we're tracking down this guy to interview him. Be careful what you say about him now, because we may need him for an interview.

You know, six, seven years. So I'd like to, a few minutes in, give you my thoughts on what happened here. Because I'd like to go to the video again and I'd also like to freeze the video on the face of one of these New York fans. Because I'm about to admit something that is hard for me to admit.

Stugat, you're always making fun of me correctly about the fact that I have a need to be right. And what I am telling you is that this particular video that I'm gonna stop so that you can see the fans on this face represents to me the single most wrong thing I've ever said in the history of the show, which is about 10 days ago or so, I said that Dodger fans should actively interfere

with a Padre going into left field to steal a home run. And at the time, I did not have the visual. Now that I have the visual, I cannot believe how wrong I was because freeze the face on the fan on the left here makes me hate New York so much that this person is now a celebrity. The fan on the left who is trying to catch this ball

and makes the horrible face, let's play the whole video for people so that they can see what's happening here because two New York fans are conspiring together. One's holding his wrists, the other one is stealing an out out of his glove unsuccessfully and now both of them are famous. And I've never wanted New York to lose more. And I've never wanted New York to lose more

and I've always wanted New York to lose the most. Because that fan cannot be rewarded for that. Never mind with Celebrity, they cannot win the series so that he feels like that's in any way okay and that Stu Gotts and Billy are on his side. First pitch. I mean, that's the problem with American society is that Suggots is not wrong. He may well throw out the first pitch if not. He's banned for life from the stadium. No he's not. No he's not. No he's not.

They ejected him from that game but welcomed him back to the next game. Look this person's gonna be a hero. These two people will absolutely be rewarded for this. Look at his face. Look at the face on the left right there. That is New York fandom right there trying to steal an out that's already recorded. Clearly caught. What a thief. Does he know baseball? Clearly caught. That is the worst stereotype of New York baseball fans right there. That is the worst stereotype for all time the Yankees everybody loves an underdog right so they're down three nil to the lads everybody all of a sudden uncharacteristically America is rooting for the Yankees not anymore the lads not after yeah I call them the lads yeah but

nobody outside of the Bronx and Stugats is rooting for the Yankees anymore after that embarrassing display of fandom. Awful. I think my favorite guy is Pinstripe guy because he's pinning Mookie Betts' wrist. Like you can't move, you're not getting away. Buddy, we gonna get this out of your hand one way or another.

Even if we gotta detach the hand. That's my favorite guy. I'll say this, and I know Mike sure is really gonna get this out of your hand one way or another, even if we gotta detach the hand. That's my favorite guy. I'll say this, and I know Mike sure is really gonna hate this, but the guy there, the fan that you said you didn't like his face that's in the road grays, earned his pinstripes. I think you come to the next game, son. He's not wearing, he's not.

He earned his pinstripes. Next game, he comes in the home white pinstripes. He earned them last night. Let's examine this for a second. The sideways baseball cap, the joy of finally prying it out too late. Because I do need to say this isn't Bartman. This is still in forever and out. I mean Bartman was cup on cup crying. I mean it's a totally different story.

Yes it is different. But my point is this didn't actually change the game in any way. It's just two people won. Oh it changed after. Did you see what happened after? I mean. It changed the game in any way. It's just two people won. Oh, it changed after. Did you see what happened after? I mean. It changed the trajectory of the series. Ask Volpe if it changed the game. He's just like, no, you didn't catch it, no.

It was stilling out and it affected not at all anything that came after that. I like the visual of Mookie. We don't see it here, but he's actually being held up over the stands and his feet are dangling like, oh, let me go! Well that's the thing as long as your feet two feet aren't down it's not a catch we learned that on Monday one foot down twice not a catch so if you keep them up airborne and his feet

don't touch ball still in play live ball. I have not enjoyed Tim Robinson's Detroiters as much as I wanted to because of how much I like this guy as a character. This is a scene from Tim Robinson 20 years from now after he's gained some weight. This is what a New York sports fan would do to be funny and represent New York in the worst possible way while being celebrated

as a hero by New York because he's doing it in the worst possible way. Because these people will be heroes in New York, Stu Gotts. For the next 24 hours. Well, no, no, no, wait, you gotta win the series. Like they are, for the moment, they'll have 24 hours of fame. But you come back to win the series from here,

even though all you've done is commit a crime against Mookie Betts that involved two people physically manhandling him. Like prying his hands apart to take away an out again that had already been recorded as an out and is forever an out. Like it's never changing as an out. In fact, the only other out there was

is you leaving the ballpark because they ejected you automatically for that behavior. I think if I'm Aaron Boone there, I challenge that play just to double down. I'm like, Mookie didn't come down with that ball. Are we sure that was a catch? Just to really escalate the situation. Keep the fans here.

Exactly right. That's one of those things where you, when a coach gets a technical foul on purpose to get the crowd riled up, do the same things. Make a statement. We're going to review it. We know we're going to lose the challenge, but it's worth the same things, make a statement. We're gonna review it. We know we're gonna lose the challenge, but it's worth it.

I'm looking here at them getting ejected. Are they getting high? Yep, some high fives. Yep. Of course they are. Of course they are. Celebrate it. They're being carried out by the fans.

Duh. Let's go Yankees. Let's go Yankees. Let's go Yankees. Let's go Yankees. Let's go Yankees. The fact that they are heroes because the highlight of the Yankee season in the World Series is we've averted a sweep.

We have somehow gotten to Aaron Judge is going to fail in one of the next few games so that we can yell all off season, but for right now we get another game. So, Pinstripes is wearing a Mariano Rivera jersey, I believe. Tim Robinson, meanwhile, is wearing an Aaron Judge jersey. Has he done more for the Yankees than Aaron Judge has during the World Series? Your call.

I think he had a ribby yesterday. The team was lifeless before this play. This was that spark. You just need someone to light the fire and these guys did that. Spark? Yeah. Oh my god. I think we honestly here cuz I'm alone I'm the only one who thinks that these guys are I'm down the middle with it. I bet you are what? Blank holes, what is the human nature that makes heroes of those guys?

I'm asking that question legitimately because obviously what they did was the worst breach of sportsmanship. Why are they heroes? Not just in Yankee Stadium, but to people here who support them. I don't understand it. I want to know. I will give you a theory as someone who enjoys anarchy with sports and enjoys the funny with sports, but this is the natural culmination after the pandemic and the dehumanizing and enjoys anarchy with sports and enjoys the funny with sports but

this is the natural culmination after the pandemic in the dehumanizing a throwing popcorn at russell westbrook of fan entitlement we can behave with the players as we like especially if we're trying to change the outcome of the game what are you talking about these guys took the ultimate risk, permanent banning from any baseball game anywhere in order to save the Yankee season. That's why they're heroes. They gave it up all on

the line. For you, New York. That's why they're heroes. The guy is bigger than me. The guy on the left thought he was helping. He thought it was not going to be an out if he pried the glove. Like, come on, the guy. I don't agree. They did help. He didn't think he was helping. He thought he was getting a souvenir. No. No, they were trying to help. They were trying to help. They were trying to help. Who cares about that ball? They were trying to help themselves. They were trying to help their team.

The ball threw out on the field. They didn't even reach for it or ask the ball boy or anything. They knew what had to be done and they did it. That's the biggest mystery in sports to me is they wanted the ball. It's a bit it's an eight dollar baseball. Why are fans going after these ball? Now I can see if it's Otani's 65th home run ball or something that's a special ball obviously but this ball it's just a regular fly out. That's why we're saying they weren't going after the ball they were trying to motivate their team they They were letting the team know it's another Freeman home run. We're about to get swept Hey guys drastic times call for drastic measures. Okay, let's start playing harder. Let's start playing better

We're gonna do what we have to do you do what you have to do Greg in the 20 CB in the movies What I had to make sure no one's talking so I can talk. Yeah, heaven forbid we would talk over each other. Exactly. So in the 20 CB, Greg, in the movies, when someone would be acting hysterical or not themselves, what would you do?

You had to slap them out of it, and they wake up, and all of a sudden they're there again. That's what happened. That's what those fans did. They looked around and said, we're down 3-0. This team is lifeless. I need to slap them, but I can't I can't Can't stop them cuz it's the 21st century man. And so it's just wrong. No, no, well not 20 CB. It was fine 20 CB is on 21st century. It's not But it was fine I watched enough movies buddy it was fine So they they can't jump down there, right?

Like you said, that would be trespassing on their behalf. So what do they do? It comes when opportunity knocks. Greg, some people say, oh, maybe that's for someone else. And some people say, that's for me. And those guys open the door, say, hello, opportunity. Give me that goddamn ball. I'm gonna take that ball.

Here, grab me. Hold it. Give it to me. Give it to me. Ah! And they brought Yankees back. We're back in the World Series, baby. Take that ball, here, grab it, hold it, give it to, give it to, give it to, ah! I'll tell you what. And they brought Yankees back! We're back in the World Series, baby, let's go!

Some people are doers and some people are watchers. Had those men been on the Titanic, I'll tell you what, still be sailing today. It would have been less ridiculous if the guy started biting the glove. Ah! Ah! Ah!

If those guys were on the Titanic, I'd try to sink it again. I'd resurrect it so that I could sink it again. Did you sink it the first time? Yeah. Good mission. Ladies and gentlemen, the NBA is finally back. Thank goodness.

What do I got here? I got a Magnum condom We won't get that out that's

Stugats here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old This is the done Lebatar Show with the Stu Guads. Greg Cody has gotten a little carried away here and I just want to slightly reign him in because he's feeling ganged up on and he's feeling like he's a bit crazy to be alone on what to him is an obvious opinion so among the things he's done recently in this crazed state of his is he gave someone a 65th home run which would not be a record of any kind for any reason I rounded it up you gave Otani a 65th home run and you also said that the single biggest mystery in sports is Somebody wanting a baseball. Yeah

It's an eight dollar prize Not anymore. That's back when slapping was acceptable. They're like 30 bucks now Major League baseball. Yeah, I go to a store like 29.99. If I were to go now, I bet you's 34.99 It's crazy. Unless that has a gold chip in it, it's not worth more than eight bucks. You think the biggest mystery in sports is why anybody would want a baseball. And all I want to do in terms of reigning in, because you've had a tough 24 hours, okay? You didn't like that you were bumped off the show yesterday when you wanted to debut the selling of your book. And you didn't love that your son, your beloved son over the last 24 hours

has been caught in a right-wing storm that involves him and porn. Yeah, no, I love that. That was great. I was very proud to hear my son interacting with perhaps the future vice president of the United States. That was quite a moment. Thank you, son. Even though it was weaponized by the right. Yeah, I don't care about that

weaponized please Harmless first I I didn't even know he said porn. I thought he said corn. We are pro corn Okay, I raised him to be pro corn. We love corn corn on the cob canned corn Mexican corn cream of corn. Well, not so much. Really? We don't like cream of corn. Oh really? That's why you draw the line. It's a trash corn. Listen, here's something I've done with cream corn.

I take it out of the can, I put it in a colander, and I run water over it to get all the quote unquote cream out of it, and then we're left with pristine kernels. But the point is, we are a pro-corn family, and always have been. No mystery there. No! That is the point, of course. The point is we are a pro-corn family. Yep. And always have been. Mm-hmm. Thank you. No mystery there. No! That is the point, of course.

That is the point. So Chris, what was the funniest of what it is that happened to you yesterday? Because you did, you got weaponized. It was a throwaway question at the end of the interview. I don't know if the video department has your face frozen as you're trying to ask a question of the Vice President, or the Governor, excuse me, Coach, and your face freezes up because you're just terrified that you've tried to have a porn conversation

at the end of our interview. An interview that was a bit pressurized. I felt a lot around us during that, like a lot of people watching that were rooting for something bad to happen. Look, we do comedy around here, and when someone lobs something up for you, we've been trained to spike it home. And you lobbed one up for me, Dan,

and I had a moment of, do I do it? I was like, double Dutch jump rope, I was just like, do I do this, do I do this? And I did it. And that look on my face is me looking at Dan, because I was just unsure of whether I did something right or not. And I've gone back and forth all night.

It's been a roller coaster. I've gone to completely regretting it. Oh my god, am I actually gonna affect the election? To, this is the- You're not. No, I don't think so. Obviously me, but that clip went viral. It won't, yeah.

Okay, good. Swing voters, Chris, you have that video of swing voters. You know what, I was gonna vote for him, but. I'm talking about what the right did with it, guys. You're gonna look silly, but you're not changing the results of the election. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying that I'm affecting the election.

Chris, you were wondering. I went back and forth. I was proud of it. Zion, no bad pub. My mentions were ugly. I rarely in my life had to be like, I'm just gonna stop looking at Twitter. So I had to do that. You realize what you are.

You're Tony Hinchcliffe on the other side. They've got Tony Hinchcliffe, we've got Chris Cody. That's what Kamala's saying today. I mean, one of the things I'd like to get over, I'd like to go over a number of different things over here. I have some regrets from yesterday as well, but I am truly stunned as the world moves a little too fast for me in terms of how divided we are

and how scary a week from now can possibly be. I'm a bit stunned still, somehow naive, that the thing that would come out of MSG would be, oh, a Puerto Rican joke is with all of the things that have happened over the last four years for Bad Bunny and Puerto Rican celebrity to be like, nah, you went after us now and that's not good enough. And that's somehow resonating more than all the other shit that's been done to black people and women that that would be the thing. A comedian making a joke that would make even John Stewart and Keith Olbermann to argue

with each other because John Stewart's defending comedy. Like, oh, just be funny. And Keith Olber Keith Oberman's like man the apocalypse is coming in a week like dude I know we want to laugh but something crazy is coming in eight days how'd you find Keith Oberman yeah I mean like a world series baseball by the way with the baseball emblem and it's saying 2024 World Series 39, by the way, with the baseball emblem in it saying 2024 World Series, $39.99. Sold out at Dodger Stadium, game one. Dan, I tried to get one.

They didn't have them. The greatest mystery in sports, according to Greg Godey, is that. I've seen it so many times. You watch a ball go into the outfield, right? And there's a grown man Leaping across bleacher seats and rows to steal the ball from a little six-year-old child Who's about to grab it with his tiny paw? Why why are you doing that? It's a worthless souvenir? Okay, it costs eight bucks in my opinion. Well, no, he just he just told you otherwise

Okay, so it cost 29 bucks. I'm with Greg on this Why are you taking it from a little kid? Literally said $39. I know but unless it's a meaningful ball that has some value Why are we scrambling around, you know prying balls out of kids' hands? What are we doing? Yeah, this one doesn't say if there's confetti inside or not So I don't know if that ups the value. Or a snake. The snake is the best one. We agree that the snake, the snake.

The living snake or the other one? That'd be a really small snake. The living snake is too complicated. You keep crossing the line with something that's clearly ridiculous. Listen, I saw a video of an Uber pick up someone yesterday that didn't have a driver, okay? We figured it out.

We can get a snake inside that baseball. No, you've gone too far. You keep doing the living snake, and I'm telling you, we're right at the line with what is possible from technology. Snakes are born in eggs, aren't they? What's the difference between a baseball and an egg? That's a good point.

How does he breathe in there, though? Is it good inside the egg? I don't know. I mean, the egg is breathable. How? That's the way they stay alive, as an embryo. But a baseball would not be breathable make a breathable ball boom That's another good point. There's breathable shirts now. Why can't we have breathable balls? That's a good point

Yeah, all right get on that whoever's in charge of that go ahead. I'm too busy trying to promote a book what? Nothing By the way, why is Tony wearing a tank top? I was wondering that too Nothing. By the way, why is Tony wearing a tank top? Am I the only one who has, has it occurred me to ask that somebody in our studio wearing a tank top? I'm just curious why. I'm not criticizing it.

That'll come later. Not criticizing it. Greg, Greg, Greg. A lot of words at one time, Jim. Let's settle down. Seriously, Greg. Let's, look, you're, you're revving. Take it easy on him.

Really high. Really high. And you're crazed really high and you're crazed. Look, you came in here today. Yeah, book week. Election year. Election year, book week, maniacal fans. There's a lot going on here. My bandwidth is exploding.

His son asked the vice president. My kid loves porn, I'm trying to process that. And corn. And corn, but we all love corn. Cody's in corn. C-O-T-E-C-O-R-N. Yeah, the C in Cody stands for corn. You can't spell Cody without corn. You cream you. I put the C-O in corn. You can spell Cody. You can spell Cody if he's correcting you. No you can't. You need a C and an O. You need a C and an O. But then you've just got a code. Just leave it alone.

But the R and the N are silent in this instance. I wish you were too. An actual snake. He's not gonna let it go. No bad ideas there. That is a bad idea is what I'm saying. I'm saying you had it right, you had it perfect, is what I'm saying. When you just made it, a ball cracks open and a rubber snake goes out. You make it an actual anaconda,

now you've just gone too far. There has to be a spring in there, right? Is that right, Billy? Not if it's real. Oh, my. Greg. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. You've gone too far. There has to be a spring in there, right? Is that right, Billy? Not if it's real. Oh. Greg. Yeah. I need you to settle in to the rest of the show, because you're revving high, because you're excited about your book.

You came in here angry at us because we bumped you yesterday. You're heightened because your son has been weaponized by the right wing. We will get to why Tony's wearing that shirt in a moment. Chris, what happened with the attack, because there was some funny stuff around this, which included Walls saying something unfortunate, something that sounded unfortunate around the

subject of porn, and it almost feels like AI, the way that the right wing ends up weaponizing the end of this in a way that devours Chris Cody yesterday because it's just an attack and then everyone's just yelling tampon Tim because this is where we are in the discussion. But the unfortunate word choice at the end of this made other people pick it up as if they'd heard him wrong Coach thank you for the time. I think you might have swayed down the middle Chris here. I think Excellent work by you guys you do what you do you beat you you It's the you beat you is.

Yeah, well. So he undeniably says you beat you. Whether it, now the only debate here is, and then he very quickly says you beat you. Was it intentional or was it just a mistake he made and he corrected himself? So that's the debate. An obvious mistake that has been picked up by the right wing because.

Or he's going for a good joke. No, that was an obvious mistake. I mean somebody said aloud I'm pro porn and he has to react so he reacted with a quip He reacted with a quip which I thought was perfectly Fitting okay, but you were outraged by the behavior of fans here and now the the religious right wing is saying that You beat you is not very vice presidential to say when you're celebrating porn Which generally speaking while most people listening to this might be pro porn I do believe that a great many indignant people out there wouldn't like their candidates to be

Morally pro porn and and and we gather from him making that quip that that means he's morally pro-porn. What I took from it is you do what you want, man. People do what you want. You beat you. Yeah, yeah, you beat you. Okay. But when I texted my mom that clip that we just posted.

Mortified. I tweeted out mom I made it just cause I was kinda of you know going by going famous is the only thing that matters So I text my mom that and my mom with the appropriate Response of how did the subject of porn come up, and I just wrote Dan Attaboy I hadn't heard The backlash that you guys are talking about maybe my bubbles are just different from your bubbles

So I just googled it right now. I found a website called the Midwesterner The headline is slip Tim waltz tells pro porn podcaster you beat you so Pro porn. Pro porn. Is that me or is that Chris Cody? It's a picture of you pointing at him. You beat you. Pro porn. That's basically Dan Santana. I love porn.

I can't believe you said it. I didn't say that I was pro porn. I said down the middle, Chris was voting yesterday and I just sort of was talking about the more important thing here, which is Project 2025, which is a democracy destroyer, and the more relevant thing we should be talking about instead of making jokes about porn,

because in eight days, anarchy's coming. But in Project 25, they wanna get rid of porn, and that's the point you made. And then Waltz was like, well, we're against that. And then Dan's like, you swayed Chris, and I'm like, well, I am pro-porn. You tossed it up for me, Dan. I'm like, it was a bump, and then the Waltz bumped it, you said it up for me, Dan I'm like yeah, it was a bump and then the walls bite

You said it and I came in and yeah, right who's not pro porn anyway on thank you So you got plenty of people that are not porn come on you know pro or anti? Why are we worried about porn? Yeah? There are so many things to worry about in this country, from global warming to crime to the economy, whatever. Why are we worried about some kid, some 14-year-old kid in his bedroom looking at a Playboy? Why are we worried about that? Good old days.

That's what you use ACB. Wait a minute, that's what you use ACB. I dig more. Wait a minute, what ACB? That's what we need. Greg and I growing up, we had to work really hard for porn. We did, we had to work really hard to find porn anyway. Really hard for porn. It wasn't just there, it wasn't so willy nilly.

Yeah, exactly. Jeez, there were rules. I mean, that's how you think it happened. There's no internet back then. When I'm 13 years old, I'm in the bathroom with a playboy. We're a penthouse. All right, listen, listen. 13?

Whatever. Whatever. 15 maybe. I was young for my age. Why is destroying America young for your age? All right, listen, listen. 13? Whatever. Whatever. 15 maybe. I was young for my age. Why is destroying America young for your age? I mean, when I was 15, I looked 13. Right.

Early start. Yeah. Thank you. When I graduated from high school, I weighed 130 pounds. Oh, boy. I looked like a jockey picking up my diploma. Everybody howled laughter as I'm walking across the stage. Where were we I think all of

us had the same reaction to the same thing which is a quaint antiquated time in porn when all of porn was a 14 year old boy looking at a playboy reading the article or a penthouse yeah that came later or Sears catalog I mean Or the SI swimsuit edition that Looking at in the Sears catalog is any truth to that's why Sears and Robuck broke up Greg. I don't know my Whenever somebody says Sears and Robuck my grandma Nana used to refer to the Sears and Roberts Nobody knew why she just couldn't get Robuck with such an it as Sears and Roberts. Nobody knew why. She just couldn't get Roebuck with such an unusual word, Sears and Roberts.

So Billy, did you have Roebuck being upset with Sears? One of them was upset with the other, I think over what was in that catalog, I would guess. What was in that catalog? You tell me. What's in a Sears catalog, seriously? There's no porn in there. Seriously.

They sell negliges, a woman having a negligee riding a tractor catalog I have no idea. Hmm Put it on the pole juju at lebatard show. Would you buy a negligee from this? From the Sears catalog years catalog is negligee still a thing feel like it's gone right what is it lingerie and now push negligee out I feel like we've advanced I feel like they're not called negligee is anymore they don't exist that was on the 20 CB

it is probably still the piece of clothing, but it's Probably has a new word. What would it be called the new word? I have no idea. You'll find it. Yeah Sears and Roberts, yeah She she misspoke a lot. She was like a Yogi Berra Man, yeah, and one of the things she said was Sears and Roberts. I have no idea why. Oh, that's the Sears catalog.
