The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook

Episode Date: February 20, 2025

Chris is in the back row today and he is bringing the good stuff as he continues to figure out whether the juice is worth the squeeze. He and his dad take shots at Canada for their 'bacon' which they allege is really just ham. Plus, Dan reveals to us why he gets his blood taken by The Blood Woman in a back alley and how he does not fart. Also, Pablo keeps bragging about winning awards and we're tired of it, Dan wants more details about Floyd Mayweather's upcoming $5 million birthday party at the Versace Mansion, and Greg Cote tells us what he would do with $5 million. Then, what happened to having just two or three friends? What pet names does our crew use with their significant others? What happens if Matthew Tkachuk gets hurt tonight?

The podcast that seems very similar

to the other Dan LeBittard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries That if they're just there that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it and now here's the marching band to nowhere fat face and the habitual liar This episode of the Dan Lovato show was to got to sponsored by draft Kings. The crown is yours Roy

I still don't feel like your confidence is where it needs to be on those reads. There's something pressurized about those reads that makes Chris Cody quiver a little bit. Oh, he's quivering back there? Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Oh, wow. He's co-op.

I am back here, baby. I love the back row. He's good, I'm working on mine. Man, I miss this row. How you guys doing back here? We miss too. We love it. How you guys doing back here? We miss too. We love it. How is the orange stuff going?

Can we get Billy Gill? I know he's off. It's going terrible. The first month of this administration's been a disaster. Yeah. The glass experiment that we're doing there has how many oranges in it?

This is three large oranges. I think they were kinda, I was trying to take a victory lap here and they're like, hey listen, you got huge oranges there It's like I mean, I can't control the orange That's also not a lot of juice like for for the work. You just have a glass It's it's half a glass and you I would Billy if we got Billy in off of off of his day off to make a ruling he's alleging that aren't the juice isn't worth the squeeze. That if you squeeze these oranges,

what you're getting isn't very much. And right now, from what I see, despite all your bragging, that's not very much orange juice. And the YouTube audience was telling me that I was doing it very inefficiently. I basically cut it in half and just squeezed. They were saying if I broke it down into quarters, I could have got way more juice.

So I'm taking, I think, this is a large glass here, guys. Like, if you're at a restaurant, you're not getting much more orange juice than this when you order a glass of orange juice. You're getting a full glass. You guys don't ever get, you get these like little glasses of orange juice sometimes. I would be insulted if they, if they gave me this

and I said, hey, let me get a glass of orange juice, and they hand me this. Well, they would put it in like a juice glass or a highball glass. It would be in a smaller glass, is my point. Fill it up to the top, okay? It's not a juice glass. Let's get up. I am having I am having an American breakfast though some OJ squeezed and some bacon some American bacon hey Canada get out of here with your ham okay. That's not bacon. This is bacon. Yes Enjoy that bacon. I will love you want some dad. I would love some bacon

I don't bring my dad some bacon could you be great? Yeah, three four slices would be great extra crisp When you hold a piece of bacon at the end it like the best has to be straight if it groups It's not cooked proper right you know what happened to me this morning I took out a piece of bacon and it was stuck to another piece of bacon. Well. I saw this Look out a piece of bacon and it was stuck to another piece of bacon. Well I saw this. I saw this. I like that. You're the lucky bastard. Thank you. Let me explain to you what happened this morning because it was amazing to witness this particular

protein gluttony and shared communion between slobs that Chris Cody and Stugatz had in a silent moment. As Stugatz's want to do with our community breakfast, he sticks his hand right beyond the tongs and just pulls the bacon out of a tin. He holds it while it drips grease in front of Greg Chris Cody's nose and Chris Cody gave him a double thumbs up and they had The celebration of Stu gots his sausage fingers sausage and bacon in the sky Disgusting no plate no napkin No, nothing nothing that would indicate that he cares at all that oils will soon be on his fingers pants and floor Right the way bacon was intended to be eaten. I mean, thank you. That's exactly right.

Put it on the poll at LeBittard Show. Hey Canada, your ham's not bacon, yes or no? This game tonight, please give me some context for caring about an exhibition because patriotism is involved. It has much of nothing to do with the Olympics or actual ste stakes, right? They're invented stakes.

They're not, they're totally contri... He's eating bacon, I mean. Well, Joe Rose can make SMRS on the air and I can't. I have an update on the big dog, by the way. He's getting $50 per live read. We get my dad not giving a take as close to the microphone as he could possibly be, then when he's giving a take, he's leaning back.

SMRS is what he's saying. With confidence. He's right, yeah. Isn't that a thing? Yep. It is. Thank you. It's your thing now. Extra good bacon.

It's very good bacon. Shout out to Uncle. What why? All right. I've had enough of this. I can't deal with like he's just he like Anybody I know Tony he's Shout out to uncle Tony. He's full bloom narcissism I gotta get out I got to get him out of here in order to just get our shit together Minor penalty two, spreading propaganda. I don't even know what I hit there.

I thought that was the me maximum. I don't see the me maximum out. I'm not on here anymore. Get out of here. Uncle Dick salts his bacon? Just get out of here. That would kill Dan Leventhal. Just get out of here.

No, believe it or not, I can have pork. Really? Salted pork though? I can have salt, I can have salt. I can have I can have the I can have pork really Salt I can have salt and have proteins. You can't have garlic or fart Those are like two of the greatest gifts that the human body can experience. No, I can fart It's just if I fart it means I've eaten something. I shouldn't have eaten. I can for me. What are you? What are you doing it? What are you farting asleep? What do you have me doing you have me muffling a lifetime of farts? I can yeah You have me with an inability to fart. I just have you not fully Experiencing and enjoying it's almost like he doesn't like farting right like I think that's I'm trying to not screw up my digestive tract

in a way that poisons farts. Wait a second, wait, wait, wait. Farts do that? Come on, man. But if you eat the correct foods, will you ever fart? No, that's what I'm saying. What a misery. I mean, seriously, everyone has to fart, dad.

Farting feels good. Feels great. Yeah. Okay, put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you like to fart? Yes or no? Who doesn't? Okay, I just wanna see. I wanna see what Show. Do you like to fart, yes or no? Who doesn't? Okay, I just wanna see.

I wanna see what the, I don't, it's not gonna come back 100%, right? It never has. Never in the history of the show has it come back 100%. What do you think the answer's gonna be? You think everyone's gonna say yes? We're gonna get a resounding 80 or 90% do you like to fart? What if we also ask is farting worth the cost

of eating garlic? Because that's definitely a hundo. There's gotta be a pros to this, right? Because is the, you know is farting worth the cost of eating garlic? Because that's definitely a hundo. There's gotta be a pros to this, right? Because farting, that's a buildup of gases. I mean, you're not feeling bloated, are you? I am not, but I will tell you that all of this started, I don't wanna bore you guys with all of this, but I'm doing acupuncture three times a week.

So you've got to still make fun of me for how I'm getting my blood tested. We'll get to that in a second. But I'm doing an assortment of things that, and this is darker than I meant to go here, but the way that my body inflated, absorbing everything that was happening around my brother's deathbed,

had nothing to do with eating. I gained 50 pounds of weight that were just whatever that is. Shooting up the cortisol into my body. My eating didn't change at all, and then I look up one day and I'm 290 pounds, and I haven cortisol into my body. My eating didn't change at all and then I look up one day and I'm 290 pounds and I haven't changed my eating. It was just all sitting by that bed for 10 months. So I'm trying to do whatever I have to do

through whatever holistic medicines I can to get rid of those sort of cortisol inflations. And it involves me giving blood every two months in the back alley behind my house, which Stu Gottstink is uproariously funny, and wasn't quite quick enough yesterday to make fun of me until the microphones were off, but then had an avalanche for me. So what do you have on this front?

Because I talked to the blood woman who comes by, and I'm saying we're gonna have to, and I'm like, she's blood woman. Melinda, blood woman. Melinda, that's saying we're gonna have to Melinda Melinda She would have been burned at the stake 200 years ago for being a blood woman I call her the blood fairy actually and that would have happened 200 years ago as well Yes, we have a number of things in play here that are in a back alley that caused me Um, if if someone saw it, if someone photographed me doing it,

they would think I was doing heroin in the back of a suburban with somebody who was administering it clinically. I was getting, like it's even, Mike, get my heroin! That I can't do it for myself, that I need somebody else. And so we're going to, we need to talk to her because I want you guys to understand just how dirty an alley this is. Like what I'm doing here is something that,

to anyone going by, would look vaguely unclean because of where it's being done. So I'm familiar with those alleys down on South Beach, that was one of my questions, like you're doing this in a very uncleanly place. That's correct, but the back of her car is plenty clean, and if someone photographs me, it'll be in the tabloids. Because she's blood woman.

That's right. Stugatsa's cigarette butts from 20 years ago are still in that alley. Litter, yes. So she comes in a car? A big car, yes, a suburban. Like who is she with? Is she with the Red Cross?

It's just her. She just collects blood? The Red Cross? Yeah, I mean, it's a blood, like what are you giving blood for? To get my blood tested so that I can do the proper things daily to not pollute my body with things that they shouldn't be polluted with.

But Dan, you're like Lance Armstrong, you're like blood doping, like what's going on here? I am trying to stay alive and healthy so that we can have a company that functions. Exactly. You're telling us this in like the sort of like, the way you're saying it is like, duh, you guys don't do that too? You guys don't blimp.

Melinda doesn't come to your back alley. I know you guys are not doing acupuncture three times a week. But. No, our insurance does not cover that. Yeah, neither does mine. And I will tell you that with all, I mean, look, I can get in my way

in terms of the mysticisms with my cynicism, but it's working. Like, everything that I'm doing that these people are putting me through is something that is making me feel physically in a way that is different from any way I've ever felt in my life. So, we will mock it, and it is a funny way.

I wouldn't go to these links on allergies and food. I like eating. You've seen all my inflated life on television. I'm a fat pioneer. I made, look, I ate so that Wind Horse could gorge. I'm a pioneer on fat men on television. Yeah, you are. Wow.

So I like to eat. I was affiliated with nachos as word association for about 10 years of my life. You were the guy that came over to my dad's house and made nachos. That's right. Oh, you'd go right into the fridge, get out some chips, get out some salsa,

and go to town, baby. Honestly, never looked up to you more. I was just like, I need that one day, where I could just go to my friend's house and just make nachos. And I have it now and it's fricking awesome. Joey's? Yeah.

You're welcome. I don't think that Greg Cody has ever given me a greater gift than being able to go to his house and just make nachos. You guys would play Pac-Man? Oh yeah. Oh man. Yeah, that machine, I need to get it fixed.

Damn it. What's going on? That's the least surprising thing in the world that he would have? Oh yeah. Man, yeah. That machine, I need to get it fixed. Damn it. What's going on? That's the least surprising thing in the world that he would have a 1980s video game that doesn't work in his house. Not surprising at all. Gotta get that fixed. How long has it been broken, Greg?

It's been broken for years. Oh. Not surprising. Like two or three years probably. Not surprising. If anybody out there knows somebody who fixes Great, that's the way to do it. Arcade games.

Boom. Okay, understand that. You're the mayor. Until I say it, it hasn't been said. Me maximum. Me maximum. Me maximum. Me maximum.

This is the Don LeVatar Show with the StuGats. Where's the Me Maxima? Like, what did you guys do with the Me Maxima? It is not here and I need to get control of what's happening around here because his narcissism has run amok and I need to attend to somebody else's narcissism for a moment because Pablo Torre is sending out newsletters again about how many awards he's one and i think we're all just you were a little tired of his sub stack and his

newsletters and his emails celebrating all the things that Pablo torres is if he's bored by winning all of these awards chris cody how is this gone over in the office because uh... god bless football uh... outside of stew gots is weekend observations where he did a little bit of an acceptance speech, Stu Gotz and Billy haven't been running around telling everybody three out of the last four years how many awards they win. This is an exclusive.

Act like you've been there before, Darrell. This is like an exclusive Pablo domain where he can't stop telling his listeners, subscribers, and readers what an award winner he is. What does the latest newsletter from Pablo say? The latest one is just we won more stuff. It's pretty obnoxious, I think. He's just bragging, just dunking on us.

Did he send that to me personally? Why is he dunking on us? Because that's how I take it. I would swap that shit. He's talking about our show. What do you mean? To me, that's him saying I won an award and you guys didn't.

I look at it all through our prism. I don't know about you guys. No, I'm just looking at it as obnoxious. Who else is out there telling you all the awards they won? It's not even, I don't know how you made it about us. You're your father's son. You cannot stop making it about yourself. I'm talking about Strictly Pablo here.

They're feeling themselves. Matt Sullivan's walking around here with his chest out. He's like, that's right, more awards. Unbecoming. Important awards, Tony. You don't hear me bragging about the awards that the Greg Cody Show has won, okay? Exactly.

I mean, you know, it's just, you don't do that. Because it hasn't won any awards. No, that's not true. Oh, it has. What awards has it won? It's absolutely not true. What awards has it? I mean, they, you know, they give out certain awards

that are very fine-tuned. I happen to win the award for best podcast hosted by a Greg Cody. What are you doing? Okay, and it's not the only one. There are others, believe me. But mine won the award. Like three or four, right?

Well, no, one. I mean, I see, I don't, you know. I was trying to help you there. Yeah, but nobody wants to hear that. I think there might be a Tony Award for Greg Cody later on this year, by the way. Oh, the Tonys. That would be great. I would accept that. Thank you. You have like a ceremony or? I think there might be a Tony Award for Greg Cody later on this year. Wow. The Tonys. That would be great.

I would accept that. Thank you. You have like a ceremony or? The Tony Show. The Tony Show. Tony Award. A gala. Yeah, let's do that.

Okay. A gala. P.F.P.A. Gala. You guys were mentioning the dirty alleys of South Beach. Can you guys tell me, get me some details please on Floyd Mayweather evidently is having a big birthday party that's going to include the Versace Mansion and it brought back a bunch of long

ago memories. We are about to play a behind the bit for you here to celebrate our 20 year anniversary that is the Hard Net Workout. It is one of the things that Greg Cody is most affiliated with as we do some nostalgic things around here over the course of a year-long celebration on our 20th anniversary. But Floyd Mayweather, evidently, is having, it's not even, I don't know which birthday this is for him, but I think he's having a $5 million week-long birthday party that's going to include the Versace Mansion and where we used to be at the Clevelander.

And I'm just wondering how you can spend $5 million in that area. I think Sturgats may have done it in bankrupting our original owners with a party at the Versace Mansion a long time ago during the Super Bowl. It's the coolest we've ever been. It's Shaq's birthday party was there,

but I think it bankrupted the company. I'm not totally sure. And I don't understand what details, can you guys tell me how you think you could spend five million dollars on a 47th or 48th birthday party? Well I can tell you that house for a week is a couple of million dollars itself. That's not right that can't be right. I think it is Dan he's gonna be 48 by the way. That can't be right it can't it might be it might have been then it can't be now there's just no way that house is a couple million dollars now

Maybe then during a larger heyday time of what that area was But that area is not what it used to be There's people in the back alleys giving blood and look like they're doing heroin in the suburban of a car It can't be millions of dollars a week in the trunk trunk, I should say. I believe that it is. You could probably purchase it for millions of dollars. That's what I'm saying. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.

Chris, I'm saying you could rent it out for a week, take every single room so you have it to yourself, and I think it costs a couple million dollars. It's the only beach house on a famous strip of land, it's a beach mansion that is worth, I'm sure that plot of land is, if not tens of millions of dollars possibly a hundred million dollars but I don't think it's million

dollars a night anymore to stay at the Versace mansion or millions of dollars a week forty one and a half million dollars at auction okay for the whole thing for the whole thing yeah yeah it's haunted stay there for a thousand dollars tonight yeah but that's one room Mayweather's not interested in a room. He wants the entire house like we did for the Super Bowl. Like that's a, and that's a different kind of cost. That's all I'm saying, because you're purchasing every single room for a week, so.

The night that we were there, Matt Liner and Eli Manning showed up too early. Matt Liner was blasted out of his face. He was in the whirlpool by 5 p.m. Yeah. Eli was wearing a suit. Eli was there way too early. We told him so.

He arrived. He was a little bit. It was a good show though, man. He was a little stiff. It was a good show. It was a good week. It was a good week of shows. Roy right now is searching deeply through the archives to find out what it is that can

be found from that show. I remember telling Reggie Miller to his face that he wasn't a Hall of Famer. That one hurt. Wow. Yeah, Boog made me do it while squeezing my knee. Yeah. You did it though, man. I was proud of you.

I did do it. A lot of pressure. See if you can find that, Roy, of Boog Shambi purposely actively trying to sabotage me because I said that Reggie Miller wasn't a Hall of Famer, making me say it to his face. Also there, you know what I remember from that night, it was lovely, McCheesy from the longest yard, Terry Cruz. But he wasn't there, he wasn't that, he was just

McCheesy on the longest yard back there. Oh you've got it already Roy, all right go ahead and play it. Are you a Hall of Famer? No, there's too many other guys that are more deserving than I. Levitard, you think he's going in? No. I think you are. Yeah, you're going in. Yeah. Good teammates you got there.

Squeeze my knee while doing it. We knew what we were doing. Yeah. Just straight asshole. I had Nick Lachey call my wife from there. Yeah, obnoxious. Just one of the most shameless things I've ever seen. What a time.

After ripping Nick Lachey. Yeah. Oh, just one of these most shameless things I've ever seen what a time after ripping Nick Lachey like oh Just that day brutally scumming just shameless by the way He is so back love his blind host him and his wife like they're doing a great job Wife not so much find out for me what Floyd Mayweather could possibly be spending Five million dollars on and why it's like get me some details on what this birthday is going to be. I think we should send a correspondent out there next week to see how close, like what do you imagine that this is? What do you imagine a Floyd Mayweather $5 million party that stretches out over a week to celebrate a birthday that's not even one that most of us would celebrate with great vigor?

Another duffel bag full of $10,000 to give to somebody that's sitting in their chair. That is small potatoes compared to what we're talking about here. That is something he has done in South Florida when a pool party is too crowded. Somebody just reaches into a backpack and pays $10,000 cash.

But this is a different stratosphere. And by the way, this is Jake Paul before Jake Paul, and this is a man who has been a mastermind, even though he is pretty awful at the center of all the things he represents outside of his sport, he is a mastermind at being able to game the system of boxing is dirty and I will be the one who profits off of all the things that involve my name in a way that no one ever has in the history of the sport. For starters, Dan, he has invited 400

of his closest friends and family. Like he's gonna spend five million pretty easily. Yeah. Travel, obviously, for wherever they're coming from, first class, I'd imagine. No one has 400 friends. I agree with you. And family, though. I agree with that.

I don't know, put it on the poll. Does anyone have 400 friends? 400 friends, I guess it would be friends and family though right it's 400 of his closest friends and family You cannot have 400 close friends. I guarantee you over close friend number 398. It's like what the hell am I doing? Who's 401 Who didn't make the cut? That's right, 401. That doesn't surprise me, the five million dollar birthday celebration, because a couple of years ago,

David Beckham's son got married, and the woman he married was also from financial means. In other words, this was a power-rich couple, and I'm told that that wedding cost about five million dollars. It's not something that I understand and I imagine most of the people listening to this could understand the idea of being able to celebrate yourself that way. But if Greg Cody had $5 million, he would find ways to spend it on celebrating himself.

What makes you say that? That way. If you had $5 million of disposable income, if it didn't matter to you, if it was an amount of money that was irrelevant to you. Yeah, you know what? I would do a lot of purchases related to satisfying me. I would buy and bring back Lawton's hot dogs off the Mary Mac River in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I would probably own a radio station.

Right. And play the kind of music I liked. Just for a goof, right. Yeah. Just because you can. Right. Let's play this out. Little Sinatra. Let's play this out for a second.

Bring Rick Shaw back from the dead. Yeah. Hold on. I love Rick Shaw. Let's play this out for a second. Rick Shaw back from the dead? Yeah, I love Rick Shaw. Let's play this out for a second. Let's figure out, like the old Richard Pryor movie, Brewster's Millions, how can Greg Cody spend $5 million on his party in a week?

Now, the Brewster's Millions conceit was that he couldn't own anything after the purchase. That's correct. Yes, very important detail. You can't buy a radio station and have ownership over it, but what you can do is spend all of this money in Greg Cody extravagant ways. I imagine that you would go bowling. Have we given Greg Cody the slab of marble that is not a bowling ball from yesterday

because it does not have holes in it? You've been sent a gift from a listener that was said to be a bowling ball, but it's not a bowling ball. It's just something that doesn't have holes in it. Right. Have you seen this or no? No.

Oh, Greg, you're gonna love this. I know you guys are not really into bowling. Like, that's how all bowling balls come and then you get it drilled. You get it, you get the holes put in. You get it customized. So this is a normal bowling ball. Oh, really?

It comes, huh. All balls come with no holes and you get It is a normal ball. Oh really? It comes, huh. All balls come with no holes and you get your hand fitted to it. Okay, let's be clear here. A listener sent this to you, Greg. Look at that. That is yours right there. Wow, I'm honored.

Miller Lite. Greg, do you want me to bring it in there for you? Yeah, please. Did you see the other side? But it's not just Miller Lite. Just toss it to him. It's look, it's your favorite team. Oh my God.

Yes, it's your Homer ball. Right, I wish it had my podcast logo on it instead. But listen. We'll send it back. How about a thank you? It's the thought that counts and I really, really appreciate it. I really do. It sounds less than appreciative when you say here's how the gift could have been better.

In fairness to Greg, if you know Greg, you know he wants the logo of the show on the bowling ball. Of course. Yes, of course. That's what you know. But that's not thank you for the gift. I really really appreciate it Here's how it could have been better Someone sent you something for free that was thoughtful that is not gratitude what you just articulated. Yeah, also, it's not my weight It's a little heavy, right? I use a 15 pound ball This is obviously a 16 by the heft of it

But again, it's a thought that counts and I really appreciate it. When they drill the holes out though it could be less. I mean the heavy is my bowling ball. No this is great and I will have it drilled and I will use it so that you know the lady shouts storm NFL the first time I'm on my backswing with this new ball. I'm thinking about the radio station that Greg owns. I want to stop for a second, okay. 95-9 the Cody. We've lost. W-C-O-T-P.

It's just all force-belt comedians on tape. What I would like to stop and do for a moment because his narcissism has totally run amok is I want to examine a joke he just made because he's doing stream of conscious Tourette's in a way that only he finds funny. He's not heavy, he's my bowling ball. Is a song. Give me all the details, Greg, that you have

and please, Tony, Jessica, and Chris, find me all the details, Greg, that you have, and please, Tony, Jessica, and Chris, find me all the details you can on the song that Greg Cody is now referencing, that it was an inside joke for just him, and the three people Jessica's grandmother's age who wants, or the kind of humor that Greg Cody brings with he's not heavy, he's my bowling ball. Go ahead, give the people what it is that you just did there so they understand humor that greg cody brings with he's not heavy he's my bowling ball right go

ahead give the people what it is that you just did there so they understand the nuance and layers to that great comedy timing that is greg cody well there was and is because songs are eternal a song called he ain't heavy he's my brother and it was a it was from the hippie era I think like the hollies yeah and it was like a late 60s, very early 70s tune, if I remember correctly, espousing great brotherhood feel and vibes, and it was great, and it still is. That's crazy, because to me,

that is just something my dad said. I didn't know that was a song. My whole life, my dad always goes, "'It ain't heavy, it's whatever he's holding.'" Have you ever seen Austin Powers Powers gold member yes I have parodied at the end of that song he's not heavy he's my brother baby I do Austin Powers says Dr. Evil spoiler sorry I do that every Christmas at least once I'll go I'll be holding up a package a Christmas gift that I'm about

Thank you Dan for asking. I'm continuing my American breakfast. I'm having some nice pancakes here this morning with no maple syrup. Butter only. Wow. I don't mess around with that maple syrup. You don't need it. Butter is enough.

No, the pancakes need maple syrup. Why do you just get syrup from Vermont? Nope, no syrup for me butter. That's it Hey butter American it should be oh Sorry that was another Michael's Nick nickname when he was a kid He's doing his own show No, because my they would join it no no they would play ping-pong

They would play ping pong. They would play ping pong, and my brother would fumble the ping pongs, picking them up, and my dad would be like, hey, Butterfinger! Dan is giving up. Whenever you can't pick something up, like, hey, Butterfinger, so my brother became Butterfinger. We've lost Dan. I know. Dad, you would turn it into a song.

Do they have any other songs? Is that their only song? Not that I know of. I'm sure they do. You know, there was a big band, touring big band, Glenn Miller. Right.

Not Steve Miller. No, the Steve Miller band. The Steve Miller band, different band. Great band though. The Glenn Miller band. You're getting emotional though, just, you know. Yeah, you know, that's the only song my dad used to sing around the house every once in you know. Yeah, you know, that's the only song my dad used to sing

around the house every once in a while. Oh, yeah. I'm telling you, you don't need syrup with pancakes. You do. No, I don't think you do. In fact, I would say you're not having pancakes unless you're having them with syrup. No.

Yeah. Good, which is butter, America. No. America. We love butter. Butter and bacon, the two B's. Love that. I have some details on the Mayweather party, by the way.

What's that, Sue Gutz? ATV tour, roller skating. Nice. Bowling and more. Bowling? That's all I've got right now. Greg, you should try to get an invite for the bowling. I should.

You can bring your new ball. This could be my gift. No, I wouldn't give it away. Are you kidding me? I'm proud to have it. Don't you, Greg, don't you think it's easy to spend five million dollars in a week if you have 400 friends and family coming? Oh, for sure.

And you're paying for everything. In South Beach. Greg, you just had a birthday and you already were like, there's too many people here that I don't know. We could have kept it smaller, right? I believe that. I don't think weddings need to be overpopulated. I don't think birthday parties need to be overpopulated. I'm all for winnowing and just having people there that are in your inner circle, so to

speak. I think a trend in weddings that I really hate is the bridal party and the groomsmen. There's like nine people on each side of the couple. You know, nine, you know, it's. You gotta narrow it down to like three. I told, no, I, one of my friends had 16 groomsmen. See that, don't you think that's crazy? I think it's crazy.

It's absurd. And their bachelor party was like, you might as well have just invited your whole graduating high school class. Yeah, no, it's too much. I did. Stu, remember you went to mine? I did, yes.

Cooked okay on the cross. It was great, how could I forget? If you have 16 people in your wedding party, high school class. Yeah, no, it's too much. I did. Stu, remember you went to mine? I did, yes. Cooked okay on the cruise? It was great, how could I forget? If you have 16 people in your wedding party, like there's no one has 16 friends that are that close to them. Right. Nobody.

And Mayweather thinking he has 400 friends, those people are just coming because they were invited, right, it's a free week? And paid for, yeah. But 16 friends, what happened to just two or three friends? Yeah. Right? Yeah, when I got married. Keep it small, keep it simple.

When I got married, I had a best man and a groomsman. That's it, Paul Radke and Gary the Bag. No, neither one, but you know, the correct era. Did either of them give speeches at your wedding? I don't think either of them were at your wedding. Oh, those two, Gary the Bag and Radke? No. No. The Bag, I might have the Bag and Ratky? No. No.

The Bag I might have invited, yet I thought of it. But, um. Wait, they didn't even go to your, why didn't they go to your wedding? Um. My dad's a bad friend. He really doesn't keep in contact with his friends. No, that's true.

Until he needs them? Well, the Bag, Gary the Bag and I reunited. I'm proud of that. Right. Ratky is, you know, I haven't known him for years. But my best man was Uncle Dick, and my groomsman was the late great Alan Cherry. Huh. So if you got married again, not that you're going to,

would you have, like who would be your best man? Who would be your groomsman? If you got married again. I haven't, you know. I feel like it's a sliding scale with you. It's who's done the most for you lately. Well, I mean, it's- Like I may be in contention. Yeah, I have no plans to get married again. I haven't, you know. I feel like it's a sliding scale with you. It's who's done the most for you lately.

Well, I mean, it's like I may be in contention. Yeah, I have no plans to get married again. So we'll call it a moot question and move on. That's a dangerous thing to ask a married man. Well, I'm not questioning your marriage. I know it's strong. I'm wondering if your friends have changed, if you would take a different approach.

Greg, have more of like a renewing of your vows, right? You guys do it big, right? Right. You and Arlene, all of a sudden, It's like walking down the aisle just like it was in 1974 Yeah, right. I look back you see uncle dick. They're still your best man. Yeah, he could still do it Am I the only one who doesn't like the whole renewal of vows? Thing it's gotta be a big anniversary. I'm with you. Isn't it unnecessary though. We did it once. Yeah, we did it once Why am I renewing? I mean you turn into Seinfeld we did it once I mean the first time you say till death do us part right, you know, you don't got to repeat yourself

I do people do I know my grandparents did it for their 50th wedding anniversary But it was more so like an excuse to just have a 50th wedding anniversary party Yeah, there was like a little church element I mean can I renew my vows whenever I want like me and my wife we just look at each other renewed Yeah, hey, that's it Eight years no you can't do it on an odd number like that even though. It's an even number you can't do it an odd number It's gotta be 10. Yeah, 20 25. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but why do you have to do it? You don't have to know but why do people do it for the trouble?

Maybe really around here for the party who around here is most likely to do it you think from our crew and yeah, Dan Tony doing it you'll do it tomorrow me and my wife had talked about doing it go and taking everybody to Hawaii doing it in Hawaii on the beach I call her BB. Bunny is one of our other coworkers. What does she call you? BB. Oh, okay.

Sorry. The same one. So Lee and I call each other Bob and Bob, which is basically like BB, but with an O. And Leeman. I do call him Leeman. I call him Leeman now. Roy, any pet names? Why? I call it Baby. now. Roy, any pet names? Why? I call it baby.

You know, baby. I love that. She calls me Roy. There you go. Don't love that as much. She calls me Roy. That feels like you're perpetually in trouble, though. If she calls you by your first full name, like whenever I hear Anthony, I know I'm in trouble.

It's not like she's my mom and like going Roy Anthony or something like that right? Middle name in there would you like a pet name or now I'm good Please don't give me a pet name. I'll need that. Thank you. What's yours? Come on Chris my wife calls me, babe, right and I At the beginning of our relationship I may have thrown around the word pookie That's a pet nickname. I just started sweating revealing that and I've revealed a lot of stuff I don't know why I'm so embarrassed by that. She doesn't listen. Well why pookie's a cute name? Yeah, it's just Feel like a loser. Yeah, what your feelings?

I just feel like a loser. Yeah. What? You have feelings? You don't want the listeners to imagine you calling your wife boogie? Not really, huh? Greg, do you have a pet name for your wife? None that I would admit.

Whoa. No, I'm just kidding. We're all being open. I'm not a pet nickname guy. Cause pet means fart in your house. He loves pets. Oh, that's true too. Yeah, I didn't even thought of that actually We're jumping Charlie. That's your pet name right? Yeah

If I have pets I give them names. That's a pet name I don't bother with calling my wife anything other than her name quite frankly never honey or anything Yeah, you know every once in a while. Who is it the baby? You know? Yeah, what about them in the throes of passion? Baby once a while who was it baby you know yeah about that in the throws of passion baby I get Jason smirking back there when I brought up passion nice cuz names change in times of passion they do they go on go on well I mean you'll just you'll say anything I mean you will say anything that is like, come here, my little firecracker.
