You are listening to the Dan Levitar show in partnership with the Drafkin Sports app.
Now live in all 50 states.
Greg Cody has said before that it has not been commented on if he has not commented on it.
So even though he's a day late to this discussion, he has some thoughts on the Marlins pulling starting pitcher Uri Perez
after seven perfect innings and 90 plus pitches the other day.
what are your thoughts okay i don't say this just because it very nearly exploded in the marlins face
because the the bullpen exploded and they ended up winning nine to eight i think it was um i think
there are some things very few more important than an emphasis on winning and i think
pitching a perfect game is one of them it's one of the rarest things in sports it's tenfold
more rare than a no-hitter. And I think he, and he was six outs away. I think he should have been
given a chance, particularly for a team, a middling team that's having a good season, but isn't,
you know, they're in the playoff chase. I just think he should have been given a chance to
pitch a perfect game. So you say there are some things more important than winning. This actually
dovetails with winning because rare is the perfect game that you lose. So it's not a lot of,
Not like it's more important than winning.
You get the perfect game.
You have largely without exception won that game unless the guy opposite you is also throwing a shutout.
Yeah.
But when I say it like that, what I mean is, if I'm Scott McCullough, my emphasis is...
What about Clayton?
What about Clayton?
Or Clayton, I'm sorry.
Who is Scott McCullough?
You know, I have a friend named Scott McCall.
I'm sorry.
I have a friend.
No way.
Apologies.
Can we call him and ask what he would have done in that spot?
Please.
You have his number, Chris?
That's funny.
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry to both McCullough.
But if I'm the manager, my emphasis is this kid deserves a once in a career shot at a perfect game.
My emphasis is not.
You know what?
We have a 4% better chance to win.
What are the things?
Now that you're making the list, what are the things more important than winning?
Because I do agree with him.
I do think there are rare instances where you can prioritize.
the individual over the team, and this would be one of them, because it's not even a no-hitter.
Like, that time has passed in baseball.
There are a lot of bullpen no-hitters.
And, in fact, I don't even think that they get very much fanfare anymore because of how it is you've
cheapen the no-hitter when it's six bullpen guys, walking six.
But a perfect game.
27 batters faced.
Your team doesn't make any errors.
You don't walk anybody.
Nobody reaches base.
uh those there've only been 24 of those ever and he was six out away uh do you guys hear a lot of
arguments on the other side of this is is this about as close as you will come to consensus in
sports where most sports fans are like oh come on they used to throw 130 pitches you got to
let him finish that game i'm tired of all of these maximizations of efficiency that uh steal
the sports soul by doing silly sort of math instead of like giving a young pitcher a chance at
immortality. I mean, almost every Marlin fan reaction that I saw wanted Yuri Perez to at least have a
shot at getting six more outs. It's why I was so weird. Like the Marlins television guy, Kyle
Seelaff called Marlins fans brain dead. Yeah, he felt that way. What? Brain dead. Yeah, he apologized
for it. He walked it back. But yes, he was he was castigating the audience.
in a way that was dismissive and he then apologized.
They have a dead brain, Greg.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
There you go.
There's a rumor that may make the catchphrase countdown.
Right, and the committee has met on this,
and the reason it qualifies for the catchphrase countdown is that,
although that just sounds like gibberish, what it is a repeat of the word what?
What?
Tony, you've got to work on yours because it does have that parrot.
Well, he's the master, though.
I know, I know, but mine's lacking the parrot.
Well, you can try to upgrade your game.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
Yes, it's a series of eight was WHU followed by a what?
Yes.
I'd like you guys to challenge each other here.
Okay, go ahead, Tony.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, blah, blah, what?
Oh, I see where it is.
It's, his cheeks are looser.
That's what it is.
What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what.
No, you've got to start off a little higher.
It's a Cody thing.
The Cody's can do it.
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Let me say.
That's more chicken.
That's a chicken.
That was a bub, bub, bubba.
I was trying to show off.
Go ahead.
You got to go.
Better.
That's my boy.
Either way, I've gotten Scott McCullough's number.
I'm going to text them.
All right.
Well, no, just call him.
Let's call him.
I haven't talked to this guy in 15 years.
Just say it's Christmas.
Cody.
Let's go.
I want to hear.
I want him to pick up the phone and go, Scott.
My dad confused you with the Marlon manager.
Chris Colour.
I do it on speaker right here.
Yes, let's do the whole thing.
Hey, it's Chris Cody.
I will let him know he's on air.
We're old friends.
Yes.
Also, if he doesn't answer, just leave him a message.
And I'd like for all of us to be able to eavesdrop on how awkward this is.
You haven't talked to him in 15 years.
Let's go ahead and do that call live.
And yes, please tell him he's on the air.
their legal ramifications for not telling him.
All right, here we go.
Hey, this is Chris Cody.
Call me back.
These are the dangers of doing some of these things live.
Hi, if you record your name and reason for calling, I'll see if this person is available.
Given the reason, give him a long reason.
Chris Cody calling about the Miami Marlins.
Scott's going to hear that and go, what, what, what, what, what, what, what.
Please stay on the line.
Please stay on the line.
I would have liked the morning.
Holding music.
He's going to be like, Chris Cody.
How's Beth?
Just go right into the question.
Just, I guess, why?
Hey, it's okay.
It's all right.
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
Chris, hold on.
Hang up, hang up, and now call back and make the explanation more detail.
Okay.
What would you have done?
You had your picture with six out, fluff, and a perfect game.
Yes.
It's Chris again.
Hey, it's Chris again.
I'm calling because my dad referenced Clayton McCullough.
He said Scott McCullough.
He meant Clayton McCullough.
He said Scott McCullough.
He's talking about the Marlins.
We want to know if you would have done the same thing as Clayton McCullough
with this big Marlins controversy on Sunday.
Call me back.
You're welcome.
Love hold music.
Put it on the poll, Jujo at Lebitrar Show.
Do you love hold music?
It's first time I've heard anybody say that.
That's unfortunate.
It's very exciting.
He's reading it.
I'm sorry.
This person is not available.
He's a busy man.
I'll send him a text.
That's fine.
We'll get back to him.
Tony, how did your excursion over to the heat store go?
Were you able to get in there?
They don't allow filming in there, right?
They don't, but we do.
So we were able to go in there and look.
Obviously, as you see, I'm empty-handed, but I did have some information.
I'd like you to watch our little package here.
Here, the store has just opened.
We're going to go see if we can find any Janice at the Coupo.
34 jerseys.
We're going to try and find those here at the heat.
store hopefully we have some good luck if not maybe the heat got to him before we did I
don't know all right I was just told by by heat brass that 34 is gone there's no
34s I'm gonna see if maybe the left one in the back behind a heat BAM 83 hmm
hmm the heat do a pretty good job of erasing their mistakes quickly I've got a
funny story to tell you guys about something that happened one time with them.
I'm not going to say sources told me that there was a long conversation late at night and under
the cloak of darkness. They took all the 34s to an undisclosed location. We don't know where the
34s are. We don't know how we can get our hands on them. They're completely gone. So I'm not to
continue looking for them then. This is a true story and I don't know how it is that they do this.
I've told this story before, and it's a little bit crazy.
Mickey Erison came on our show, which was at the time just a live radio show.
So if you were going to get anything from our show, it wasn't quite as clipable or as available as it might otherwise be.
There was just a couple of places to get it.
You either got it live when it happened on the radio, or we were just at the time beginning the podcasting venture.
So there were ways to get it via podcast, although largely it was mostly just a radio show.
We were interviewing heat owner Mickey Erison.
And at the time, I was asking him some form of how is it that you make sure that Chris Bosch doesn't leave the Miami Heat after LeBron James was leaving the Miami Heat?
And his response was unfortunate in that he,
sort of said, well, what? I don't have any control over any of what these people end up doing. We're not in the times of slavery. And so when he said that, like, I winced and it was obviously a bad thing to say. And then all of a sudden, no one could get our podcast. Like, it wasn't sound that could go anywhere. No one had the sound. The sound vanished. I couldn't call up our podcast. All of a sudden, now, I don't know what.
happened. It's a complete mystery what happened, but that sound never again saw the light of day.
It just vanished into thin air. And so I imagine when the number 34 jersey goes out and the heat are
embarrassed by the fact that Ante Ticompo isn't wearing number 34 anymore, what ends up happening there,
Zaz, is an assortment of heat employees are made to know that those jerseys are not to be
seen by anyone ever again.
That those jerseys are put in an incinerator.
I don't know.
There may have been somebody.
There may have been bodies cremated last night in South Florida that had a bunch of
Anzacompo 34 jerseys in there because of the heat just making that vanish.
Dan, they have one guy who's the heat guy when it comes to funerals and ballorios and whatnots.
And all of a sudden they made the call, yeah, pepe, te triego aggo.
Yeah.
And then all the sudden, black duffel bag show off.
Black truck.
He puts them in, lights it up, gone.
Are you concerned at all that that's what's about to happen to this episode since you told that story?
Yeah, probably.
Harvey Kytel in The Fixer shows up and they go to a junkyard of some sort.
And then, yeah, Mr. Wolf shows up.
It's Pulpiction.
Yes.
What did I say?
In The Fixer.
Oh, I called it In The Fixer instead of...
As the Fixer.
He showed up as the Fixer.
The Wolf.
In Pulpiction.
Yeah.
It doesn't know movies.
Thank you.
What can you tell me about Pulp Fiction?
I love Pulp Fiction.
My favorite movie.
I actually watched it.
I love that song, the dance song, you know, with Travolta.
And what's her name, Dancing?
Uma Thurman.
Yeah, Uma Thurman.
Used to love her.
That kind of thing.
Big scene.
You really petered out there.
No, no, it's that kind of thing.
Okay, you petered out again.
Yeah, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Okay.
What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?
Exactly. Dan Levitar.
I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public.
Greg Coddy.
Don't do it.
This is the Dan Levitar show.
Ron McGill is there with us, and we will get to him in just a second.
We've got an assortment of things to ask him.
But before we do that, Greg, can you give us your top five list of what you believe to be your strengths?
Yes, beginning with number five. Any O-LIs?
or you just...
No, I follow the rules.
You said five.
I got five.
All right.
Number five, Greg Cody's strength.
Miami Herald Sports columnist.
So writing.
Yeah.
Number four.
Greg Cody Show podcast host.
Number three.
Loyal as shit.
Number two.
Eight-time PFPI champion.
How many in the modern era?
A couple.
You're a bit of a storied franchise.
You're like to sell.
You won them back in the 50s and 60s.
They didn't go away.
And the number one, Greg Cody, strength.
Okay, in retrospect, this should have been number two, and PFPI champion should have been number one.
But, number one, loving husband and father.
Not quite as funny as eight-time PFPI champion, I will admit.
Yeah, that order would have been better if you're...
Notice comedy's not on the list.
That's number six.
Ron McGill is with us.
We have told you in the past there have been no greater contributors to the Ron McGill's substantive endowment than the listeners of this radio show.
He is now retired, but he is still doing all of the same things without all of the same headaches for the zoo as he continues to curate the endowment.
That is his life's work.
That is going to be part of his legacy.
and we will tell you again, all of that money that doesn't go to his wife and buying her clothes and cars goes directly to charity without any bureaucracy.
When I say charity, it's to help wildlife with conservation efforts that Ron Miguel is committed to.
And I've seen some of that work firsthand.
He makes the dollars go a long way to help with a lot of animals throughout the animal kingdom.
Let's get to some of these videos here.
Ron, when I was with you in Africa, we had a couple of.
I'm going to call him incidents with elephants much larger than this one.
But here is an elephant calf.
And let's play this video for Ron.
Give us some play-by-play here, Ron.
Oh, yeah.
This is a guy who thinks he's a lot bigger than he is,
but he's very close to an adult.
These young guys, they're incredibly bold,
and they get really full of themselves.
And this is a guy, this happened to us out there.
You know, we had these young elephants.
They put out their ears.
They threaten, they charge,
but they never leave far away from one of the adults.
And so the adults walk away, man,
And they run right.
Oh, wait, wait, don't go, don't go, please.
I don't know.
They're so cute.
But a coward?
Not really.
Not a coward.
He's kind of sewing his oats.
It's kind of like in the Lion King.
You know, and I can't wait to be king.
He goes,
and then all of a sudden, Mufascar is like,
and that's when you get the feel it.
Ron, the elephant is an odd-looking animal, no?
Yeah.
You know, it's certainly got some strange features to it,
absolutely, but it's still incredible.
Is it the biggest ears in the animal kingdom
in my childhood?
I had a Chihuahua and we entered a contest in Miramar and finished in second place longest ears.
We finished second to a rabbit.
Thank you for asking.
There were only two competitors in the contest so the Chihuahua finished last technically, but second place.
Are there larger ears than the elephants anywhere in the animal kingdom?
No, the African elephant has the largest ears, external ears of any animal.
Ron, I have a question here from our YouTube chat.
They're asking, what's the most creative way animals deal with in?
tense heat. Well, vultures
poop on themselves. They
poop all over their legs as if the poop
dries off and evaporates, it cools them off.
That's kind of an interesting way to cool yourself off.
It's the way I do it. Yeah, it does work.
Let's see
some more video here. You tell me
what this man on a snowmobile
should be feeling as
he's trying to chase off a bear.
This is crazy. He's stupid
is what he is. Assuming this
is not AI.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I'm thinking it's AI, guys.
Thinking it's AI.
Because that's okay.
So how uncommon or rare would that be?
I can't tell that.
I say it's not AI.
I don't think that that's not AI, man.
Okay, I don't want to argue about this this way.
Let's pretend for the purposes of this video that we haven't been fooled by artificial intelligence.
Is this something that's in any way feasible?
It's feasible.
Certainly feasible.
but look look at the shadow of the bear
and look at the shadow of the snowmobile.
They don't match.
Because they're different shapes.
I don't want to do this.
Well, no, it's not that they're different shapes.
There should be a shadow to the right of the snowmobile
like there's a shadow to the right of the fan.
Ron, I'm being told it's not AI.
You can continue to dispute it,
but it sort of ruins the premise of what it is that we're doing
and it may indeed be fake, but they're telling me it's not fake.
So entertain the idea that it's real.
Okay. Entertain the idea that it's real, that it might be a captive bear, one of these movie bears that they use for different things.
Nobody would be following that bear with a camera when that bear turns around the guy with the cameras right there.
No, nobody is that stupid.
You refuse to entertain whether or not this is real, and I'm asking you to tell me about the dangers of the bear in this situation because it's not...
It's incredibly dangerous. It's incredibly dangerous.
incredibly stupid, incredibly dangerous.
That is a grizzly bear.
That is not a black bear.
It's a grizzly bear.
And it's incredibly dangerous what that person's doing.
A movie bear.
Ron, could be a movie.
Ron, I believe we've done this with only a football team.
I want you to make a soccer team full of animals.
Oh, geez.
I don't know.
Soccer team?
They'd have to be really quick.
I'd still have to go with a cheetah.
I'd have to go with a rabbit.
Jack rabbit would be great.
Jack rabbit would be fantastic.
The ball is bigger than the jack rabbit.
The jack rabbit's not moving the ball down the
field. The jackrabbit's going to have all sorts of difficulties.
Like it's not going to move the ball.
Look like politics out there. Let's go from the back.
First of all, who's your goalkeeper? Is it the gorilla?
No, the orangutan.
Okay.
Bigger arm spread. Much bigger arms spread.
Yeah, but not as tall.
It might have some trouble like getting up on.
That's the long arms before.
If you have eight foot arms, you just put them above your head, Dan.
Better than Matt freeze.
Okay. So fine, an orangutan.
How about backline defenders?
You want the gold box protected by, and you don't want
animals that penalize. You don't want
people who are clumsy or animals, creatures
that are clumsy that are going to knock people over.
Who's your backline defense?
Oh, geez. I want to go with a cheetah.
Yeah? So just
speed? You're going all speed. We're not a very
physical team.
No, you get
physically, you get called fouls. You just told me
no fouls. You told me no foul. So this is all speed.
It's all speed.
That really peed it out.
What's the next position, Dan?
Next position. I don't know these positions.
Midfield.
You got midfield, and then you got strikers.
You got wings and forwards.
Okay.
Midfield, I'm going to go with greater kudos.
Greater kudos.
Yeah, big antelope, big antelope.
Because?
Well, because they're fast, they're tall.
They got big horns, which they can use to head the ball really well.
I mean, those horns can hit it like a baseball bat.
What formation are we playing?
Five-four-one.
Wow.
I didn't expect that.
How about your strikers?
They're going to be Impala's.
Definitely Impala's.
Quick?
Yeah, I've got a lot.
But my team's small, right?
You're not going with any of the big animals.
You don't, not, they're not quick enough.
They're not quick enough.
Soccer is a fast sport.
Okay.
Rhinos are not quick.
Hippos are not quick.
Antelope are quick.
And when you've got to sit horns like that and you're heading the ball?
Man, it's like a base.
That's a Babe Ruth baseball bat.
So how about who's how about who's
Haland, who is the quick
tall creature
that is going to be able to jump over
people for headballs?
Eland. Eeland.
Erland.
Erland.
Erling, Hollande.
I don't know what animal that is.
What is an Eelon?
The Eelon is the largest antelope in the world,
has a good set of horns, and can jump six feet
straight up in the air without taking a step.
I've been looking up the kudu, the Impala, and the
Elan, and they all look exactly the same.
the layman. But they look exactly the same. So what are the differences between these animals?
Because this team does look like you've made it up of clones.
I have not made it up of clones. Come on, guys. Are you really looking at,
you're saying the Impala looks like the Ealing? Are you serious?
Are these all just the boring animals at the zoo?
No. Put it on the...
These are boring animals. These are fast animals.
The ones you get to you're like, all right, I'm going to go to the next thing.
Wow. I want a giraffe up front. Who's going to stop that header?
Oh, there we go. Or a headball, as Dan said.
is very slow, okay?
Very slow.
Watch a giraffe swing its neck.
It's very slow.
Watch a coot.
Watch an eel.
Don't.
Watch a cheat a run.
The giraffe's headballs are going to go 40 feet over the goal.
That's true.
It's quite the angle down.
Look at that Impala.
Look at the curl and the horns.
It's perfect on the ball.
You can almost use it like a sesta.
All right.
On the next one.
Let's look at another video here.
Explain to me what is happening here.
Give us some play by play.
is the elephant, the elephant, not the orangutan, is the elephant here saving? How smart is this animal? Is it actually
saving an Impala from drowning? Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Elephants are incredibly intelligent,
and I feel they have empathy, they have compassion, and they, yes, that's exactly what that elephant is doing.
Absolutely. What is the most moving thing like that that you have seen in the wild,
where you have seen the elephant be gentle.
You've told us about seeing grieving elephants.
You've told us about elephants that mourn their dead.
But what is the most compassionate act you've seen in the wild,
which can be very cruel?
Compassionate? I don't know.
I mean, you know, I've seen not with elephants,
but I've seen like with primates.
I've seen baboons, which normally are just not my favorite animal.
But I've seen them with youngsters and other baboons coming up and offering, you know, to groom the youngster and to stroke the youngster and even share food sometimes with the youngster.
So I've seen that kind of community effort to make the, you know, the troops stronger.
See some compassion that way.
And on the flip side, you know, when an animal dies, you see the sadness, you see the morning.
I've seen mothers carry their dead infants around for days, days refusing to believe they've died.
Dan Levitar
This is the quickest it goes
Hey, this is the quickest it goes
Great Cody
Everybody
This is the quickest it goes
Yeah
This is the Dan Levitar show
What is your issue with the baboon
What is the nature of your beef
With the baboon?
Babboos
Babboos are just
They're like dirty little people that bite
And they can be aggressive
They can be really nasty
In a lot of ways
I'm not a big,
fan of baboons in the wild, especially in places like Southern Africa where they become so
accustomed to people, they'll jump in your vans, they'll steal your food. You know, if you go to,
even in restaurants, you go to restaurants in places, even like Cape Town, these baboons
will come up and up to your table and take your food. It's just, it's, they're heathens. That's
what it is. They're heathens. Ron, can you tell me, speaking of sad animals, can you describe
for the audience this particular sad animal? What is the nature of this sad animal here?
This is an animal that just watched the USA get flogged by Belgium.
How many chins do you see?
Oh, no.
You went after your dad's double chin.
That is mean.
That's a neck under there.
It's not another chin.
It's a couple of them.
Dan, those baboons, they got that nasty little butt.
You know what I'm talking about?
They got that nasty butt.
They do.
What do you mean?
Most primates do have a very kind of exposed pink, sometimes brightly colored red and purple butt.
Depending.
You look at the mandrill.
The mandrill.
Look at the mandrill's butt. That's a good butt.
Barber mandrel.
That nasty butt.
Look, that bobber mandrel.
Best butts in the animal kingdom?
Let's look at another video here.
The orangutan.
Can you explain to me what is happening here?
This animal evidently has decided to learn from its keepers here.
And they clean up after leaving.
And so he's decided now that he's washing his hands.
Is that something that he's just learning from the people there?
Yeah.
He's learned that from watching, learn behavior from watching other people do it.
And he could very well enjoy it, too.
I mean, it's just something, you know, everybody has their thing.
Same thing with orangutans.
We've seen, listen, we had an orangutan here that I watched.
He watched the keeper open a lock with a key, and then he took a stick,
and he tried to use it as a key to open the lock.
That's how intelligent they are.
This is like when my daughter tries to help me with the dishes.
It's like she thinks she's helping, but you're not really doing that thing here.
I could do this a lot quicker without you.
Can you give me the smart rankings on animals?
The dolphin is number one, correct, of all of the animals?
I'm looking at the dolphin and the chimpanzee are kind of neck and neck.
They're right next to each other.
The dolphins and chimpanzees is probably the most intelligent.
So many of the cetaceans, the whales, the porpoises, they're incredibly intelligent animals
that we just don't know enough about yet.
But then you go to the elephant right after that.
I think the elephant is incredibly intelligent.
You know, some of the canines, the wolves, of course, are domestic dogs.
They're very intelligent, very pack-oriented, very community-oriented.
the orangutan
The octopi
The octopus
The octopus is an intelligent animal
That you know
Has gotten a lot of publicity lately
Especially after that movie came out
You know my friend the octopus
Or was something like that
But Ron, I'm sorry Ron
Can you put like it into context
When you say these are smart animals
Like the dog
Like a chimpanzee
A chimpanzee a dolphin
You know
Can easily have the intelligence
Of a six, seven year old child
Probably more so
When it comes to the nucencies
intricacies of communication.
Their vocabulary to each other,
what I'm talking about, the cetaceans now,
the porpoises, the dolphins, the whales,
very, very intricate communications that they have.
Elephants are the same way.
They make different sounds that we can't even hear
that they use to communicate with each other.
So that level of intelligence is probably higher
than most children.
Ron, we were in Wyoming recently
and had private guided tours
to Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
and one of the sites I saw that almost brought me to tears, it surprised me.
We were about 15 feet from a small herd of bison, including majestic males who must have weighed like 2,500 pounds or something.
What is an...
15 feet is pretty close there, Greg? That's pretty close.
Yeah.
What is an animal in the wild that is able, just the sight of it, to make you the most emotional?
Oh, it just depends on the...
There's that mandrill, but I told you. That was beautiful, right?
So that's it?
That's your selection.
That moves you to tears, seeing the mandrill's butt.
Oh, that's not what it moves me.
No, no, no, no, no.
I guess the animal that moved me to tears was the mountain gorilla.
When I saw a mountain gorilla face-to-face the first time up in the volcanoes of Rwanda, I did cry.
Didn't you have one of those breathe on you?
Didn't you?
Weren't you close enough to...
I did.
It sat right next to me and actually took its lips and tugged on my earlobe.
Wow.
Did you get the chills?
Terrifying.
It was goosebumps.
It wasn't terrifying.
It was majestic.
Gockyeda?
Listen, my favorite saying in the world is life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take,
it's measured by the number of times your breath is taken away.
And that was one of those breathtaking moments.
Greg, why did you feel the need to say it was a private guided tour when a tour would have sufficed?
Like, just saying that you went on a tour would have sufficed, but you needed to make it both a private and guided tour.
Yeah.
And not a very bright guide, I will tell you, because 15 feet breaks the law, because you're not supposed to be closer than 25 feet to any bison in any national park.
I may have aired in saying, for dramatic effect, I may have aired in saying 15 feet.
It might have been 25.4 feet.
I don't know.
But we were in a sturdy vehicle.
We were in no danger.
Oh, so you're in a vehicle.
Private implies that it's just your group.
Like if you're on a tour, a bigger tour, there could be other groups with you.
You made it sound like a rich man safari.
You were eating broccoli the entire time.
Like you made it sound like it was really.
Actually, it was a Dan Levitart Safari.
You made reference to a private safari.
No, I did not call it a private guided tour.
Well, it was.
It was my wife and I and a guy in a vehicle.
And the couple you swing with.
Yeah, it was a private tour.
What can I tell you?
Super private.
It's the three of us.
Your son just accused you of being a swinger.
Did you not hear your son accused?
What were we swinging with the tour guide?
What are you talking about?
Let's go to one more video here in Thailand.
Tell me what is happening here, Ron, with this tourist and the...
Oh, and the praying mantis.
Yeah.
That serves you right, you stupid twit.
Whoa.
Oh, she's got a mantis in her hair.
Oh, my God.
That's right.
What is that?
The mantis, it went into her hair because she was provoking and trying to intimidate the mantis.
And now she probably urinated on herself.
Oh, my God.
Ron, I never see this side of you except when it comes to human beings being dumb about animals.
I don't think you need to be calling her stupid twit.
I don't like people.
Yeah, because you know why is she, why is she intimidating?
Why is she trying to tantalize that prey mantis?
Why does she just leave it alone?
It's a mostly, it's a mostly inoffensive term for foolish, silly, or an annoying person.
Kind of fits.
There you go.
Thank you very much.
I was scared of where he was headed there.
So was I.
When he got to Twit, I was relieved.
Twit seemed far more benign than where I thought he was headed.
I thought we were going to see a side of Ron McGill that none of us wanted to see.
That would have been the last time we would have seen Ron McGill in any form.
See you later, Ron.
Good talking to you.
Even though he offends tourists and yells at innocent human beings who have dared to bother an insect.
You're molesting that animal, okay?
You're harassing that animal.
You're just being a jerk.
Wait.
A twit.
Wait.
One way, twitty.
I know what, when he says molesting an animal, I know what he's doing there.
He's speaking in Spanish first.
Moletando.
That's exactly right.
I know, but molesting, it has a sexual connotation in English.
You guys are always in the gutter.
You're always in the gutter.
You're always in the gutter.
In Spanish, molestando is not something.
that's sexual. I know, I know, but in English, molesting is something that has a sexual undercurrent.
So you made it sound in saying she was molesting an animal that when I, don't you guys think when
you think of molesting isn't, doesn't it have sexual undercurrents to you in English?
Where's my twit, twit? Oh, God. See you later, Ron. Good talking to you. Thank you.
Pleasure seeing you. He had that one lined up and that's just where he was going. He was.
was going to where's my twit twit and he wasn't listening to anything i was saying you see the
vigorous the vigorous swig he just took uh because he's very proud of himself as i sent you

chris twitteringham
Twitty.
All right.
Like Aggie.
Conway Twitty?
Conway Twitty.
Can you guys look up for me, please?
Just the reference that he's making there on Conway Twitty.
Give me what he's famous for and give me the time period that Conway Twitty was famous.
I've told you guys this before.
This is a signature way of aging for old sports writers.
It's something Kornhizer does all the time as a joke.
You give him a word.
and he'll just mention somebody from the 50s whose name sounds a little bit like that.
So,
Twitty,
bing,
bang,
bang.
Great movie.
Great film.
It's not a great film.
A great, great movie.
All right, look it up for me,
please, Jeremy.
Twitty,
Twitty,
bang, bang,
what year was that film and give me any and all information you have on Conway Twitty?
Chitty Chittychiti-chitty Bang Bang was a family musical from 1960.
starring Dick Van Dyke.
Yep, 100 years old.
I'll tell you what, much higher on Rotten Tomatoes than I would have thought.
Thank you.
70%.
It's a classic.
And Conway Twitty, of course, his real name is Harold Lloyd Jenkins.
He's Noin known for...
Damn, Noin.
I'm powering through the Rockabilly scene in the 50s.
Duets with Loretta Lynn.
Country singer.
That's what he's Noin for.
Great singer.
I was on an airplane once, and he had back when you had tickets,
I got the seat folder in front of me.
There was a Conway Twitty ticket.
In other words, he had occupied my seat on the plane before me.
Lifetime career highlight for me.
