You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Welcome to the big suite presented by Giraffe King. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to 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 man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Today's episode of the Dan Levitard show with Stugots is brought to you by Palaton, party on a bike or roar or treadmill or app

or walk or weight room or anywhere, Palaton. I should clarify Virginia Tech did play Florida State earlier this year, and that was maybe another one that Florida State escaped because Virginia Tech made a late run, made it a game questionable call there, and it seemed as though that result sparked Virginia Tech into being one of these annoying ACC teams.

Every year the ACC Championship is a team, I see how they got there, and another team that your confuse is all hell. How the hell did they make it? You would think when they got rid of divisions in the ACC, you would get the whole coastal element out of its system. Now what happened is, it's just all one big coastal, and they're all beating each other out.

I don't think that anyone nationally thinks anything of the ACC other than Clemson for I don't know how long. Florida State has just recently developed something that feels like national power stuff, but the ACC has not been something that's been birthing schools that anyone fears. I agree, and if Florida State loses at home to Miami, which is a possibility, I think they're gonna take

a precipitous drop. They're not gonna get the benefit of doubt and drop two or three spots and still be in contention for the CFP. If FSU loses, I can see them dropping to 10 and no longer being. They're just waiting for them to lose to stumble right. I think so. Yeah. Does Greg Cody have a back in my day? It's Tuesday. He's right. So yes. So yes. So yes. Wow. I wouldn't you ask again. Worst. That's why you surprised. Yeah. Because it has been inconsistent.

Yeah. Restrains. Before we get to the back in my day and because before we get to Lucy's Are you surprised? Yeah, because it has been inconsistent recently. Sure, yes. Before we get to the back in my day and before we get to Lucy's coverage from the world's greatest, the world's biggest cocktail party, you for some reason have been lamenting the placement of cheesets in your grocery store.

Oh my God. Well, what's happening here? Did you have trouble finding them? Well, where does this lament come from? All right, I've been coming and graduated with cheeses. Ah. It's been instantly has become my favorite snack.

I spent, I'm not exaggerating. I spent 15 minutes going up and down my potato chip snack aisle, three different times, slowly scrutinizing every bag looking for cheezuts could not find them. Left thinking that my storage is doesn't carry cheezuts. My wife tells me, oh dummy, they're on the cracker aisle. Right.

They also come in a box, so. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Cheezuts should be on the potato chip aisle with snack, bag snacks. but they're not potato chips. And they're not bagged. They're crackers. They're not bags. They're in bags.

They're in a box. Cheezards are in a bag. In a bag. In a bag. In a box. Yeah, there's a box around the bag. It should be in the snack aisle. Everybody within the sound of my voice

is nodding like a bubble. It's agreeing with people. Literally everyone in here is disagreeing with. She's even me, which is she's put she's it on the potato chip. I don't know how hot it is for you to lose Billy. Billy here supports all things Greg Cody in a way that has been insincere for them. You.

Well, I dare you. No, Billy gets me normally, but not in this case. Yeah. What's not great Cody today, your knowledge or whatever? We call it quasi. quasi to find. A apostrophe, W-A-S-I, lowercase W, if you please. If you please.

Yes. How does quasi spell it? Lowercase W, but it's often mistaken. Got it. The apostrophe will do that. And why are you quasi? Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that. You're a Russian quasi.

A Quasi is the star of the forthcoming new book, The Pride of Alion, which drops December for Thank You, which drops December 5th and is available for preorder now at Amazon or Target, Barnes and Noble, books and books and choral tables, wherever you buy your books you can pre-order the Pride of a Lion drop. That sounds like Quasi as a matter of fact, here's a funny story. Quasi does not have a very majestic roar. Roars are like fingerprints with lions. All lions roar differently. Quasi's roar is sort of an anti-climactic little grunt. Well, it's not a meow, it's a grunt, but still,

but what a life he's led. Can't wait to share that story with the public. Didn't you get like a first, like, didn't you get to go up close in like one of these like, vans that takes you back there and you got to watch a meet? Sure did. Yeah, we were closer than 10 feet from a lion that could kill me in a second and a half if he was in the mood and I wasn't in a protected vehicle but it was it was quite isn't your book number one in some incredibly obscure category it's

actually number one and two or three incredibly nice. Selfie, Florida. Number one is number one, Greg. Take it. I will take it. Ron, because I caught up with the hippo that's named after Dan. And I think he's beefing with his roomy because they're being kept away from one another. What a great sense.

I heard rumors of them not getting along in a little bit of a fight. So I got to get clarification because they are being kept away from one another. Wow, talk about a book. Dan the hippo. I got to write that one next. Let me write that down myself a note. Okay. All right. You didn't write anything down. I intended to. Yeah. It's always helpful. It's like when a new show is signing off and you see the host going like this writing on something, he's not writing.

Come on. You did, but everyone could see that you weren't writing anything. It was clear. I'm sorry. It appeared that I was writing. Dad, don't you still jot down notes at like press conferences when other people are just recording? I'm one of the few people who still does.

I have like a little chicken scratch, mini yellow legal pad. I'm recording just for appearances, but mostly I'm just writing those long hand saves time. It doesn't save time. What it really does. I don't want to have to try, but then I discovered order, which is a whole different thing. Right. So that's a whole another story, but it sounds like a whole another book to an author. Well, well, this is not the, the, the, the, the little secreture. It's, uh, the, the app, author, which transcribes, like, have I, that you, like, you can text, you can dictate a text. You can also dictate through an app. I just discovered it.

I hate the dictating text. I don't know if I have an accent. I don't know if my phone's racist. I don't know what's going on here. Never understands what the hell I'm saying. Oh, Oh met me too. I love when my dad does it I'll throw in like inappropriate words at the end of it and it picks up the words Wait, so like you'll be writing it. He'll be like he'll be like the background He'll be talking about a bio and he'll be texting like he'll be texting his boss like yes JD

I will have that to you later and I'll put in the back balls or worse. Yeah, I believe it. Balls is the best that you say. Chris did just out of curiosity because I don't know how you were formed. Did you see? Did you see your parents show each other much in the way of affection? Do they hold hands? Like did you see growing up in your household? Something that showed you that your parents were affectionate with each. On one of the recent episodes of the Greg Cody show, my dad was saying how he doesn't ever call my wife like, baby, or any kind of pet name.

So we had him on the show call her on speaker and say, hey, baby, and her reaction was like, what the hell are you doing talking to me like that? But no, actually, and now that you say, don't, do you guys hold hands? I don't know you to be hand holders. No, we actually had a Conversation about that a couple of years ago because you always see people no matter where you go, you know You see the look at me couple holding hands being super affectionate and public right and I'm like hey They're just holding hands You don't have to show everyone exactly right?

He loved yourself Really you give off handholder? No, okay. I'm not, anyway, we are not a handholding couple and that's fine with the two of us, but I wonder if it is robbing me of some intimate aspect of my relationship and I also wonder what handholding couples, do they feel superior to couples who are not handholding?

They do, yeah, they do. Like, will you ever bust it out? Like, when will you hold her hand? What? Sounds like Greg wants to be handled. Hold on, yeah, Greg. You want to hold her hand? No, we've tried. Yeah. Like, my wife? I'm not sold on that.

It felt very much like, Greg, you want to hold your wife's hand. She won't. She won't hold your hand. You convinced yourself you don't want to be a hand holder. I think that you think you're missing out on something. Okay, we've done it a couple of times, honestly, and you know, you take 10 steps holding hands and you're looking for a excuse to disinvite.

No, then you do the squeeze. Let me, my wife, don't comfortable. When we reach the limit, we'll do it for like, you know, that 10th of a mile, and then we'll give a squeeze. The squeeze is like, this is done. It's done, we're let go now. We're separating. No one else is the squeeze in here? Put it on It's done. We're let go now. We're separating. Yeah. No one else is the squeeze in here. Put it on the pole. Please, Judeo at Levitard show. Are you a hand-holding couple? Yes or no?

You ever smooch in public, Greg? No way. When's the last time? When is the last time Greg Cody gave his wife? Well, not just Tonsel hockeyawk. He hold on a minute. It's gotta be just lips together, right? We can't have it be French kiss. Well, it's a touch. There's, there's, there's like I've ever seen my parents French kiss. When?

Why would I say you never? For Christchurch, I don't know what it has. I mean, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been,

I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, ridiculous. Yeah, I will affectionately and discreetly kiss my wife goodbye if we're saying goodbye in public. Okay, see you later. You know, a little kiss and blah blah blah. Lips are cheek. Yeah, lips are cheek. I'm going to pick up the other corner of the lip or something. What?

They are weird. Come on. Little forehead kiss ever? No, not a forehead kiss guy. Huh? No. I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. I'm going to say that. I of the lip or something. What? The weird.

Come on. Little forehead kiss ever? No, I'm not a forehead kiss guy. No, I'm either a cheek or a lip. Your wife or a forehead kiss you? No. No, that would be odd. It'd be like me saying, hey, baby, it'd be the same reaction.

Her reaction was hilarious to that. Who's more affectionate? You or her? I think I am. That's to believe is that I mean yes Baby I'm the one who invented baby Well, the Dan Dan Greg Dan's early on in his marriage. He doesn't understand love dies in your marriage You'll get there. You'll realize the holding hands the kissing on the head that all away. I don't know if I would use the word dies, but your porn is will take.

Billy, how about EBS? It becomes like back in my days. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not when it's there. Well, that's there. And of course, like a sportsman, sometimes quarterly. That's fair. Billy, you're a supporter of all things. Cody, I heard you before the show celebrating Chris Cody telling him he was right about something. Oh, I was so excited, Dan. I saw yesterday that Chris Cody was right. I texted him, which I don't text a lot of people, but I texted him yesterday.

I was like, Chris, did you see the news? You were right, because Chris has been for a while now saying that Vic Fanzio has to come down from the booth down to the sideline to get the boys riled up to intimidate them. I didn't really understand that part, but 40 times. Get his hands on them. The 49 by-law way. Just, you know, just be on the field. Yeah. You're in the game with them. Like you love each other. Yeah. So it seems like the 49ers in this off off week, the by-week, they're looking into that. Not so dumb when you see maybe coming down to the sideline now. Not so dumb when Kyle Shanahan says it, huh? Look at you.

Everyone in here mocked me, everyone. And then when you saw Kyle said it, you guys were like, could work. Kyle's like two seasons away from us thinking he's not a genius, right? Two losses. Because they've daily got their quick.

And if you're like Shanahan, we're on that path, maybe. I'm doing the opposite with that. I'm getting my future bets in for the Niners because this is the best odds you're gonna get on them all season right now. Well, the part that's confusing to me is Garoppolo was a throw away from winning the Super Bowl. And it's like, he can't really play.

He was awful. It was so bad. He was so upset. He was so upset. He is well on his way to be coming up back, up quarterback, and again, one throw in the Super Bowl and he is forever a Super Bowl winning quarterback like Trent Dillford. This is a new Alan and proof Dan Lebert are show with the Stugas gamble on by draft Kings Dan Lebertard Greg Cody of the Miami Harold He's actively playing defense against my ability to do the show because what are you laughing at?

Honey Boo Boo is in world in controversy. It's funny to me. Sorry. Stugats. He couldn't stop laughing just looking at the picture of honey booboo It doesn't sound healthy We can't make him laugh like that It's how he's gonna die right here just laughing and coughing. I want to die like that This is the down lebbatar show with this two gods. Do you think Florida has any chance today? It's actually gonna be a good game, but it's about the mother

f***ing knows. Look, if you're out here watching, mom, give me the f***ing dolls, mom. Give me the dolls! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! How do you feel about Georgia fans working all the time? Georgia fans, come on, we're gonna f***ing show up

and we're gonna f***ing come on. Not really, I'm just, for the spirit, I love my Georgia fans, I'm all about like collegiality, being nice, being respectful to the other team, you know, it's all for fun, but at the same time, the dogs, Georgia fans, go get us! There ain't nothing finer in the list! Hang up this fighter in the lead! And a drunk of notches, Georgia fans!

And drunk of notches, Georgia fans!. And drunk of notches, dodge the fence. Go, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go! Go! No! No! No! Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey and take down the gators. So I'm about to go two for two. The parlayers are gonna hit right now. That's why you always bet on the dogs.

They're the dogs today. Run the damn bull, Florida gators. Run the damn bull. Dog merch to Pearson. It's a touchdown, Florida gator. If you wanna make money, you'll bet on the dogs though. Broke them! You're not even looking at a shirt!

He's not in the way of dogs! That's Jordan's son! Whoever even ever goes to Jordan's son! I love the Gators! I love the Gators, baby! Don't get your mother! Put the mortgage on the Gators! This is foreign away the best tailgating environment

I've ever been in, but I will say that Florida fans are more drunk by like a mile. I don't know if it's because they're more fun or it's because they're probably gonna lose by more, but they are way more drunk. I'll say it, way more friendly. They've given us so much free stuff, just a little free stuff from Georgia fans,

but so much free stuff from Florida. And that's what this whole thing is about. And also doing my job properly. The park is limited because of our voices, but I've been saying Simon's hadn't been serviced at 12 o'clock on Thursday. I just roll right on in. Woo! Michigan, number one Michigan!

Nice Corgo fans! Nice Corgo fans! You just told me that today is your first ever American football game. Wow, yeah, I've just flown him from London, into Atlanta, and then four hours. All of a day down here, never been to American football match. I had some friends from here, which is great. You've always said you've got to come down. Apparently, I'm supporting these guys.

So, go dogs! Is that the big? Yeah! Don't forget the Big 10 still makes more money than them and that's what really matters at the end of the day. Now wins or losses are championship but money. Big 10! If you pull up and you want to show up, go now go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, man, I don't even know what you just said. Okay, fair enough. Do you watch the Dan Levittar Show with Stu Gotts? No, I'm not gonna lie to you, I don't. Will you now? Oh, no, but let me get a gun! No!

Stingle! Stingle! Thank you. No dogs. Do you watch the Dan love at our show with two gods? Absolutely not. Can you look at the microphone? Absolutely not. But what should I do?

Watch the show. What show is it on? This is the damn love at our show with two gods. To park? Yeah, with two pups on the Draftkins Network. I got you. All right. Wait, okay, so what is the name of the show?

Sioux Thots Network. Watch it live now. 100% Sioux Thots! There is no way that you didn't get annoyed with all of that barking in about nine minutes in. He got a little very fast. I think one of the moments where so the game obviously was a blowout, by like the third quarter, I'm just like watching the crowd and there is nothing that gives me the

it, collecting a grown man, just starting barking at someone. It was such an uncomfortable experience. Where are you headed next? Where are some of the places that you're excited about? That is a great question. We would like to go to Alabama We don't know if we are going to go to Alabama and our other options this weekend are Bedlam Oklahoma Stay should be really fun or if we're feeling really weird and crazy and gross. I win our swastor So got to going. I am trying I am going to that game against my will But I am trying to help Lucy and Dan, you should partake. I am trying to help Lucy get to the Alabama game.

I put in a call to AJ McCarran. I mean, how about that? Wow. Anything you want to do? Mark Engram? I've already asked John Skipper to see him. Oh, really? He didn't get her on the Alabama field.

But Alabama, I probably don't need to tell you. They are run like a professional franchise. And they are something different a professional franchise and they are something different from your average college franchise. So I'm guessing it's pretty hard to get on the field there. Yeah, I'm not feeling super optimistic about it. Oklahoma, Oklahoma, say should be really, really fun. I went across certain very distant third option.

Very distant third option. Mike Ryan has been making fun of Pat Riley saying that Tyler hero was never up for trade. And I'm just wondering which is the bigger lie. Pat Riley saying Tyler hero was never up for trade or Robert Salah saying I've got unwavering faith in the Jets of it. Oh wow. He didn't say that. He did. He said, unwavering. I don't know why you wouldn't just go faith there.

Faith, faith. Unwavering. I've got wavering faith. I've got wavering faith. Faith that comes and goes, but it is not consistent. And I saw, and Taylor was telling me there's a new 33 year old up in Kumber in the New York market at WFAN who's trying to do the Stugots thing in his early 30s. Sean Morrash has ripped Zach Wilson for going somewhere with his girlfriend going to Utah

with his girlfriend on the by-way. He has that classic WFAF. He has said he has ripped him for going apple picking and said that he needs to quote, stay back and grind. But his coach has unwavering confidence in the offense. It doesn't need to grind. These pick apples. So I'm under the understanding that this isn't

in on-air talent. It's a producer that has become this lightning rod and has carved out a niche for himself. And Taylor pulled me aside, I guess in a similar vein. He's dressed as the undertaker today, and he's like, hey Mike, I've got Carolina observations. Oh wow. Now I am familiar with Taylor's Carolina observations

because they happened last week. And I did find the hard to tell him. I'm not exactly sure if that's a Dan Benchmark Taylor. He came in here and told me this last week. I told him last week. He came in and told me that he was going to do that. And what would be the Carolina observations that they allowed 22 points in the fourth quarter

to Georgia Tech? Did you think he was serious when he told you? You seemed to laugh like he was kidding. No, I wasn't sure. I thought he was offering me a bit. I laughed. It was a genuine laugh at the idea that that would ever be on our show.

Well, Stugots may promise his what he had gone as the issue. It was on the show last week. He did it last week as Stugots said every week, but yeah. Stugots may promise his wallet. Yes. Yes. Is the issue. It was on the show last week. We did it last week as Stugots said every week. Yeah. Stugots said. That was good. He did a good job.

I mean, Stugots likes when other people do the work for him. I thought he also likes promising things that other people then have to say no to. And then he's not the bad guy. Well, he did him. I mean, yeah, but you promised that he would do him this week. If it were up to me, he would do him again this week, but it's not, it's up to Dan O.

I mean, Dan wants to break the kids heart, that's up to him, I'm not gonna do it. I mean, Taylor's an up-and-comer. He is. Just trying to make his name in the business with Carolina observations. I mean. Stu Gotts, we're not gonna do it.

Is he practicing his observations right now? He takes them very seriously. Looks like slash. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do got everybody in video and everyone on the other side of this door did a much better job on Halloween stuff than our crew of Underachievers.

There's Kylo Ren out there. Quasi. Quasi. Thank you. No one knew better than Babushka and Alias. It's Quasi, a Halloween costume. No, Qu better than Babuskin's S sound, not a Z. It's quasi a Halloween costume. No, quasi with an S sound, not a Z.

That's exactly what's the fun. Billy, Stubant texted me that he spent 40 minutes talking to Keeshan Johnson at the barber shop. Where is that going? Billy enjoyed it. I gotta be kidding. He doesn't look like he enjoyed it. He enjoyed the conversation. He did. I know he did. The problem with my life is, so planning isn't a strength here, right? In terms of, or following a plan, I should say isn't a strength here. So I kind of have to take things as to guys tells me with a grain of salt. So when he tells

me, Keeshawn's gonna be on, and then Keeshawn isn't on, and then it was a thing like, oh no, he thought it was at 5.30, you have to understand that I went into yesterday thinking Keeshawn will not be on today, right? But I still have to prepare as though Keeshawn's gonna be on. And then when we get to 2.30, which is when Keeshawn was supposed to be on,

as two guys tells me Keeshawn's getting a haircut now, I assume two guys never spoke to Keeshawn, and he just was hoping that at the last minute he'd come and be on, right? So then when he tells me Keeshawn's gonna be on at three today, I said, this is the third time I have time to go to Home Depot. I'm not gonna wait around for this.

So long story short, we eventually get to Keeshawn and he's in a barber's chair, which I'm like, so you got this, this is, yeah. Why, like, no, like, why are we doing this? Because I wanted to. I know, because you wanted to, is the answer, but he wanted to do it from the barber's share,

because he thought it'd be funny. And then what ends up happening is, it ends up working out, so no lesson has ever learned. So it ends up working out. We do like 40 minutes with Keesha Johnson, which was really good. It was a good 40 minutes.

And now we're kind of in a power struggle where I say we should put this on stupidity so I could put the whole 40 minutes and Stu guys wants to put it on God bless football because God bless football, you know, truth be told get some some better Downloads it then stupidity does yes, but God bless football at the same time I'm gonna have to cut 40 minutes of Keeshan into 12 minutes So we're gonna lose 28 minutes of Keeshan Which is the battle that I'm constantly in with Stu got, where he wants to do 40 minutes for every guest,

and they can only really be like 12 for Godless football. So, I don't know where it's gonna go. I still wanna put it as to potty because I feel like that we can air the whole thing. It's not for Billy. Yeah, but you wanted in Godless football, so more people hear it. I want you to be happy.

You do with it what you want. Okay. But yeah, but this is the other part about this. We reached this part of the conversation, and then two hours from now I'll get a call from you like I was really thinking think it'll be better God bless That's the movies it's always like whatever you think is best and I know we're just gonna reverber back to what you thought was best That is so true

He just says things into a microphone and they're all lies He just says things into a microphone and they're all lies. Don Lebertard, Greg Cody of the Miami Herald, who is a source of constant frustration and entitlement and narcissism. This is what he says. This is either the last back in my day as a regular series or the first of a new phase in which back in my days are occasional, not every week.

So he has just announced officially his laziness. Still gots. I want to make him an occasional series. I am once a week. But no, I think more occasional. I think every time you don't have a back in my day, you can't do the show. I think we should. Okay, okay.

That's fine because I have a contract. So if you want to pay me for not doing the show, that's fine. We can pay him for doing nothing. We already do. Okay, that's fine, because I have a contract, so if you want to pay me for not doing the show. That's fine, we can pay him for doing nothing. We already do. That's a good one. That's a good one. I got no retort for that.

VCs, they done a libata show with their stugats. The Happy to be joined as always on Tuesdays, or I should say often when he doesn't have an emergency giraffe procedure and orangutan doesn't need surgery. Ron McGill with us. What are you, what are you making faces about Ron? Well, because I'm leaving right here. I just left a surgery. We're doing this cool surgery on a horn bill, a greater Indian horn bill. Huskies do got to look it up. It's kind of like the, the Eastern hemisphere version of a two-can, but much bigger. And this horn bill, she's got cancer in her cask in her bill. And they're they're taking the cancer out.

And they used a 3D printer to make a false bill that they're going to put on there surgically. So as soon as I be here, I'm going to go over there to photograph that. This is really cool stuff, man. What do you regard as the coolest medical procedure that you have seen or the most odd by. This could be it. I mean, I've been fortunate to watch a couple of serian sections, you know, when you pull that baby out for the first time, you see it take its breath on a surgery table like that. That's kind of moving. But to see, oh, we also made a prosthetic leg for a secretary bird, which was really pretty cool. But to use this, what they did was they put this corn bill

through a CT scanner, made a visual print of it, that measurements of the bill, and then they had a 3D printer make this plastic kind of, you know, a appendage that's going to go on to this bill to replace the part that's taken out from cancer. Now, I don't know if it's going to work,

but it's really a cool approach to help save this bird. So I'm going to get right back to that surgery as soon as something like that. You guys, what is the necessity of that part of the bill? Well, basically it is, it's an announcement for the bird. They like two cans. They use them to kind of announce to each other. They're, they're availability that they're there. But they also can resonate sound in it. You know, they make a honking sound and that honking sound inside the bill. It kind of resonates. It makes it even louder. Can you tell us, Ron, what it is that you're doing this Saturday and why it is it's important

that people go out there? I know that we've talked about it some around here, but finally on Saturday, it is here. And if people want to support the right things that Ron McGill is about, they can help do so on Saturday. Tell them where it is that you're going to be gathering and I'm going to see if I can get some people from the show out there. That'd be great. 10 o'clock, 10 a.m. Saturday on the northeast parking lot of Zumaie, Amy. There's going to be a rally here

and it's going to be basically to the voiceoff opposition to developing a water park on this property, which is critical habitat for your species. These are all endangered species that have been discovered since people voted for the water park way back in 2006. We've learned so much, and we're trying to get the commissioners to understand as a big vote on December 12th.

So we're all coming out here. I'm telling you they're going to be hundreds. If not more than a thousand people joining me and other key people out here, we're going to do a release of a hawk. We're going to do a release of some butterflies. But more importantly, we're going to walk up and down the pathway into zoom Miami, demonstrating how we want to protect this because it's a home for critically endangered species. It's critically endangered habitat. Guys, enough of the development. Listen, on that one of these extremists, you know, if there's a roach in my house, I kill it. But we've got,

we've got to be able to protect this critical habitat. It's the most critically endangered habitat in the state of Florida. The largest track outside of Everglades National Park is right here at Zoo Miami. We cannot build a water park on it. The traffic already is ridiculous. What they'll do to damage this environment and the

creatures that live in it is horrific. So please come out, stand with us and let the people know, especially the commissioners that we don't want this here. So on December 12th, they vote no and they don't allow it to be built here. Ron, is this replacing the one that you had announced

is on Black Friday or is this a position to that? Yes, this is the exact one. That was originally gonna be Black Friday. We wanted to do it earlier. We wanted to do it earlier so we can get more legs out of it, you know, leading up to December 12th. And I think it's gonna be, I tell you, I think this is gonna be historic folks.

I think it's gonna be the first time in my over 40 years working at the zoo that the commission makes a vote in favor of the environment over development. This is their chance. It's a brand new commission. These are all good commissioners, generally speaking. And I think they want to set a tone. They want to let people know, listen, we've got to put a halt. We got to put some breaks on this development because enough is enough, guys. We got to protect this for our future generations that are all saying we've not inherited this earth from our parents We're borrowing it from our children. I wanted to get to a story with you that is old that came across

my my social media this week in 1996 and unidentified eight-year-old boy slipped away from his mother climbed over a barrier and fell into the gorilla enclosure Due to the 20-foot fall the boy broke his hand and suffered a deep laceration to his face. Seven gorillas inhabited the enclosure. Gorillas are known to be fiercely territorial animals. They will fight to the death to defend their families. However, one of the gorillas went over,

cradled the boy in her arms, and all while her own young child was on her back, that she then went to the edge of the enclosure and waited for the zookeepers to come and collect the child and handed the child over peacefully before returning to the rest of the gorillas. What do you make of that behavior, Ron? Well, I think that happened at the Oklahoma City Zoo

if I'm not incorrect, and it's a behavior that's typical of female gorillas, especially. That was a female gorilla, obviously, a fairly new mother. There is an instinct there. I believe that animals can read things, that they sense things. And I believe that gorilla knew that that child needed help and the only help that could be afforded to would be getting it to a zookeeper, that that gorilla knew that keepers had taken care of her of her babies, and that was an outlet. That was a conduit

to help help this child that had fallen in and hurt herself. So it's another reflection on how animals do have a sixth sense. Gorillas can be there at territorial, but it's male gorillas that are territorial against other male gorillas. They're not necessarily territorial against non-specific other animals. So you know gorillas are generally known as the gentle giant. They're not the King Kong monsters, that movies and other things make them out to be.

And this is a perfect reflection of how animals can sense, first of all, that it was a child and second of all, that it needed help and the way to get it help us to get it to as a keeper. I think it's a wonderful, wonderful example of this unwritten bond between people and animals. Ron, a helicopter flying low over a crocodile farm in Queensland, Australia, created noise and vibration that caused a huge sex frenzy in orgy among the crocodiles. What the hell was going on there?

You know what happens? And you go down to the Everglades in April. This is the bre out there and what they do all crocodilians, the males, the male's make this bellow sound. And if they hear something that sounds like a bellow, if you go down like, let's say Everglades alligator farm down there in

homestead and you see here a plane going over or law and more starting all the sun, all the male crocod are going. We can think it's bellowing, so it's a competition. So that starts in the bellowing is kind of like the forward starting all the sun all the mail crocodile start going oh oh it's a competition so that starts it's in the bellowing is kind of like the foreplay okay that's gets the female's like hey

baby how you go hey baby oh it's start that it becomes this domino effect and they all it just becomes a massive orgy because this airplane just the helicopter makes that sound it gets a huge clock at hours time to have sex. Let's just let's announce our presence. And that's what they do.

It's horrible. It's horrible. It's sex, sex, sex, sex, it's wonderful. I'm a native Floridian. I've seen a lot of big iguanas in my day. I think I saw the biggest iguana in my life at Zoo Miami over the weekend inside the chimpanzee enclosure.

I've gone there several times. I've seen snakes across the walkway. I'm curious what your approach is for some of these animals that reside in the zoo that aren't actually part of your exhibits and what if your approach might differ for some invasive species. Well, if we get an invasive species, if we trap them, they are removed from the property. If there are any universities or somebody doing studies on them, they're sent that way. Otherwise, they are euthanized.

If they're invasive species and they're caught on different exhibits, things like iguanas, folks, they can be conduits for disease. They produce a tremendous amount of feces. I mean, we've seen piles of feces on the walk where where somebody thinks that a freaking rhino has gotten loose because that's how much they can, they can excrete at one time. It's mind blowing. For the native animals, listen, I think it's a blessing.

You know, every now and then you'll see a racer or a coach who would go across the walkway, people would listen, be lucky man. You just see that wonderful piece of nature this day is just trying to get away from you. It's not gonna hurt you. I tell people all the time, you see wildlife, observe it from a distance, respect it.

It wants nothing to do with you, just leave it alone. And enjoy it. Ron on Halloween, I am wondering what animal likes candy the most. All animals like candy though, it's not good for any of them. Because it's sugar, man. Sugar is an addictive ingredient to anything. So anything with sugar, animals will eat it and unfortunately usually make some very sick if they get older. Ron, going back to the story about the gorilla and the child, what is the most unusual reaction you have seen from an animal that should have been predatory or unkind and around a human being surprised you with the behavior? Well, it wasn't necessarily around a human being, Dan.

There was an incident with a lion in San Bruno and Kenya that went to kill an antelope and then the antelope's offspring was there and it didn't eat the offspring as a matter of fact, it just sat by and kind of guarded it and almost became like a maternal figure to it. Walking around for days next to it like it was part of its pride which was kind of a very unusual thing. As far as humans go, you know, one of the things that really moved me, we have a chimpanzee here named Samantha. She's not very fond of a lot of people,

but for whatever reason she really likes me. She had gotten pretty sick, she's in her 50s now, and she had been anesthetized, and she was having trouble coming out of the anesthesia. The vet called me back there, she said, because for whatever reason she really loves me, she hears my voice and she gets excited. I think you've been out of your dad. You've seen her react to me.

And she was really, she wasn't coming out of anesthesia. So I went up to her and I said, Sam, it's me, hey, Sammy. And she heard me and she kind of woke up and was, you know, I hate to use the word happy, but that's what it was. And it seemed to be kind of an inspiration for her to wake up and get better.

And that kind of made me feel pretty good. I'm going to show you this video of a rangatang here. And you tell me if this rangatang is happy. What is happening here in this video? Is it a costume of some sort? Ha, ha, ha, ha. No, a rangatang's love to cover themselves in sheets. Will sometimes even put t-shirts out on the exhibit and they'll cover themselves in the

t-shirt. He's just playing. It's just playing. It's, you'd be surprised, you know, there's a lot of parallels to the mentality of a three or four or five year old when you see what these, these are ranatans. A lot of these great apes do. They are just absolutely entertaining themselves and playing. Well, what is this animal doing with this wind surfer because there's a wind surfer, minding his or her own business in

the ocean, and then a whale breaches and totally it's the whale's ocean. The whale is just being away. The whale is just wailing. The whale is not that's an accident. They away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away.

The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away.

The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. The Wales has been away. wrong place, but it certainly was not a move of aggression. That seems like something you can say, but that seems aggressive to me. It may have been an error by getting hit by a flying whale while your wind surfing seems

aggressive. It's just, it's really a fluke, so to speak. It's like, you know, if you're walking down a street and a brick falls off the building falls on your head, is the building being aggressive to you? Yes. No, no. No. Ron, thank you for being on with us.

Oh, it's a guy with a rally. Everybody gets one of these. The first 600 people get this t-shirt, baby. Come get it. Come be part of a movement. Come be part of history. Saturday. November.

November 4, 10 a.m. Saturday. Thank you, Ron. Good seeing you again. Thank you. Take care. of a movement come be part of history Saturday. It's November, November 4, 10 a.m.

Saturday. Thank you, Ron. Good seeing you again. Thank you. Take care.
