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. Just two guys, I wanna put some strain on our very expensive and tax habitual liar. Stu Gatz, I want to put some strain on our very expensive and taxed video. Let's not strain anyone. I want to put some strain.

As we grow on around here at Metal Arc Media under the weight of people are off, and people don't do their job well. And planes, apparently, just sometimes want to fly sometimes they don't, but we can get them. Don't get me started with that. Oh boy Let's create a list for Tony somewhere of things that we won't get him started on

Because I want to get your opinions in a moment on hi-a-lea But before I get to that because I'd really like to get to some of the things I want to get to here without Getting detoured again and again. Mm-hmm. I want the video team to find for me because I asked for it once already and I want it cut up. I want people to be able to see on YouTube where we're live for an hour every day locally, nationally, internationally. I want them to be able to see what comes over David Samson's face when he hears that Bob Ross was taken advantage of at the very end by a whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of piranha who just ate up his business interests, sweet, sweet Bob Ross and the delight and the radiance that came over David Samson at the idea of being able to

steal all of Bob Ross' money. I want that captured for posterity in the corner of the screen as the face of scary laughing. Green because poor Bob Ross literally because people like David Samson knew there were ways to take advantage of him. I just want to put a nice little tree here. Nice little tree. David Samson is very sick. Oh Jesus. It's very unpleasant. I mean, I just know he's a cloth button here.

Listen, I just came back from a healthy trip. I mean, I'm feeling great. I'm looking confident. He's been coughing for two days. God. Stugots is on drugs and taking vacations. Now his friends. Friends.

I was close to drugs. Samson is working. Working eight podcasts a day, nothing personal every day. First thing in the morning before anyone sane as awake, he's a Navy seal of burping content right in the morning. Here's everything you need to know about everything in sports from every angle. Early bird gets the worm in. He's straight and he can't sleep at night, and he's crazed. That pretty much, I'm gonna chart that.

Any scaries last night, David, any trips to the lobby? I didn't have time. Really, what were you doing? I didn't have time. The only thing I could watch was the newest episode of the idol. Oh, how's that? Bad, right? That's what everybody's saying.

Can I get Hank's cell phone number? You're coughing and wheezing through your laugh. That wasn't a wheeze. Thatezing through your laugh. That wasn't a weez. You sound real laugh. It was weez. I'm so sorry. I'm fine. Can I have his phone number please? Because he's in the idol. No. And you said he doesn't need to be. He doesn't need to be. I just he has Simpson's money. He doesn't need to. And the last time he was on right before Brockmeyer, I

told him I said, Hey, the show was saying you took a paycheck and he laughed in my face. I don't have to take paychecks like he chose that because he wanted to do that show. He wanted to do the idol. Yeah, he wasn't, he doesn't need money. I assure you. So is he bored? He likes to do the creative things he likes to do and only those things. He said he was having fun on the show regardless of what people were saying.

He was having fun on the show regardless of what people are saying he was having fun He's got total creative freedom Except he needs people to hire him to make things and there seems to be some turbulence around that coming up Because there's a writer strike and we keep waiting wasting our interns time. I who's gonna be fine Thanks gonna be fine. Don't worry about hang. He's not one to worry about in this situation. He doesn't have to worry about that. Right. There are a lot of people to worry about. What would you text him just out of curiosity? Like you want his number, but what would it be? Just wondering his choices and being in that place? I just want to ask him, first of all, we used to be, I have his cell number, so I was sort of joking. That was going to set it to you, because he

was mean to me one, so I don't care. You could always ask Mike Sure for it. I tried Billy. It's not the board's not up. I couldn't, I it to you because he was mean to me once so I don't care. You could always ask Mike Surefort. I tried Billy. It's not the board's not up. I couldn't. I tried to hit him with the look at me, Louis. And it failed because. Maybe one of those yellow caution things. I was trying to tell people.

So I was going to hit it somewhat. We were all trying to hit it, but Billy was distracted by arguing with David. Billy's got some tensions with David that go way back. I do? Why? How he ran the marlins here, your favorite team? What does it have to do with what's going on? We're having a fine day. Are we not? No tensions. No tensions. I was just going to set him Hank is areas number so he could talk to him if he wanted it because Hank has meant to me once. So I'm protecting him. He was mean to you.

Oh, yeah. Once. I don't have. I don't remember. He made some joke about how I should shut up or something like that. I was like wow Way to pick on the little guy and I get Mike's number two, please that I was Specifically told yesterday to not give you unfortunately I'm Mike. I can't say yes What is happening here with you and needing and wanting Mike's shares number? I find it I find it to be unreasonable everything that's happening. Stu, can I have Mike's phone number? Sure. Thank you.

I knew Stu would do it. Listen, he's the perfect person who would do it. Just be right now. Just be right now. If you don't want to, he's going to do it right now. And we will see. Stu got says he will do things and fails to come through all the time.

Like, it's his signature move. So we will see. But what you'll see, if you get, if what you think you're getting is what you get because I'm telling you, Stugots is very good at saying he's going to do something and then not doing that thing. So Stugots is trying to finagle a book out of Mike Scher. Stugots. uh... stugats is trying to finagle a book out of my sure uh... stugats not trying to finagle a book out of my sure i asked my share for help with my personal record book i sent you the number david

what his number doesn't start with five five five oh that's my book from nature bays sorry ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Here are the numbers, David, from Haya Lea. Tony explained to the good people of the international and national audience, what Haya Lea is. Haya Lea is such a special place, Dan, the city of progress, by the way. That's so stupid. Why?

Why is that stupid, Billy? Well, that's their slogan, but it's the city of progress. That's the slogan, city of progress. So it is the most concentrated, Hispanic community outside of Puerto Rico in the United States. Makes it a very interesting place. There's also a lot of old people.

There's like a big mix between Cubans and old Cubans. It's also really confusing because every street has two numbers. Oh yeah, so like it's hard to find things. It's like one-third but also east 49th. Yeah, you need to kind of know, highly to know. It's like a very angular place. Like two streets meet in one angle and then go different ways, but are different There are a number of fascinating things to me historically about highly there's also this giant water fountain thing Like in the middle of it that everybody goes to for some reason that I don't get you left in Tony's face

when he said La ciudad del progreso yet well that's their slogan is the funny slow because it's not progress there's not there hasn't been there has been some progress in the six and zero

barely last but what i'm telling you is that we're like an expression that's stopping let me explain to you what just happened there billy laughed at his people and then was unwilling to have the balls to follow up No, I'm laughing at the slogan Yes, because but the slogan is funny only if you explain to the people that hialia is not what anyone in Miami would call progress There's a part in hialia that is like an expressway or an overpass or something that just stops it's the gratin

Like they stopped making it, I get it. There must be some explanation other than they just stopped making it, but it just stops. I'm sorry, David Simpsons' delight is on the camera right now. It is in the corner. Our strained video team has brought things together. That right there is the delight on David Simpsons' face

as he learns that Bob Ross could be ripped off all the way to the grave That is exactly what I was laughing at That's not edited That wasn't even a heavy lift for the video department. That was just like that. This stealing money make you so that's not exactly how it happens to but you weren't here. Dave, I think you appreciate this. That reminds me that video of him turning around and laughing reminds me of Henry Hill in Goodfellas when they're making the joke. That's exactly it. That was totally time for me. of Henry Hill in good fellows when they're making the joke. That's exactly it is.

That was totally done by him. He's so funny. What, like a clown? It was a really good documentary though. So Haya Leah. Getting back to Haya Leah. Progress. My father, I didn't know that we didn't have money,

growing up. But I knew that people in Hi, Alia did. That's where my father worked. And I just sort of, we were broke, but we were less broke as whatever. An infiltration of Cubans comes to this region, and many of them set up building, hi, Alia, like a cluster bleep of just Latin America.

A lot of places don't speak English and Tony's right. A lot of old Cubans. A lot of old ones. But so here are these numbers and this might explain it because I don't know what's happening here. But in Hialeah, from January 1 to May 1, 4,716 911 calls went unanswered. What? I want to know a very few certainties in my life,

but I want to know that the systems are working well enough, that if I dial 911, someone's gonna answer. Someone's gonna pick up and go, oh, somebody, somebody's gonna answer. Someone's gonna pick up and go, oh, somebody, somebody's gonna answer. Hey, man, leave it up. Yeah. Somebody, I need to know this may just be that old people die lit too much. And the police staff is just fed up. They're like, yeah, I said, yeah, oh, Camino, they're in tranquilo. It calls 27 times a week. Thank you. Let it go to voice, man. Dan, you know how does old people want to talk to people and who always Answers the phone 911 so you call away. Got the telemata. No say that I'm doing and they're just like this guy again

But there is nothing more third world about where we're living right now that you can't that's it That's the fifth least affordable housing market in America now Those some of those people paying those prices are going to expect their nine one one calls to be returned well everyone should expect their nine one one calls to get answered but anywhere else in the country that is just did the report come out that it's just hyalya is that what's happening it's not just uh... i don't think it's just highly and i don't know what the norm is this is an average of thirty

one a day or going missed and goes back to twenty twenty one because my amies the account this is billy corbans rattle rousing uh... it's thirty three thousand two hundred nineteen calls have been missed in the last three years but with no frame of reference does that mean anything to you mean it's great content on laughing because i just don't expect my nine one one call to not go answered in the United States. How many go and answered in Manhattan?

I don't know, but wouldn't that be important to know for? No, okay, we could do the math of this or we could just ask how you're going to feel if you have not dial 911 and you're living in a place where you're unsure as an anal compulsive person, you're unsure about whether your emergency call is going to be answered. I don't call 911. I've never called 911. If I have an emergency, I have someone ready to take my emergency call, to deal with it. I don't want 911 because then you can't control where they take you.

I don't know if you knew that. You have a call in its succession. You have somebody who just follows. Larry, behind first. It used to be. It used to be. Not anymore. have a call in its succession. You have like somebody who just followed Larry Bindfest. Used to be. It used to be not anymore. Got fired. Had a finding new one. Larry Bindfest really was like a butler. Correct? Like, I want to see you. Not at all. I'll see.

I'm not at all. We were all concierge butlers to Jeffrey, so I understand what your point is. But yes, he was that. Right. That's someone you call 24 hours who will take you where you have to go and emergency 911. And this is not just Tylea. They don't take you, they take you to the hospital they choose. You know that, right?

You never knew that. It's usually proximity, right? But it's not necessarily the one that you would choose. Correct. I'm just stunned that Dave has gone to math versus just the horror of not having Well 911 call or being in the magic either. Yeah, if he's got a guy no wonder doesn't need But if you're going by math 33 missed calls a day if there's 3 300 calls 99% of the calls are answered It's not reassuring that there's still 33 that aren't if you're one of the 33 but you don't know the numbers. 6.7% are going unanswered. That's, let's emergency than I thought. I mean you had a lot of emergencies in it. Unless you had the progress or you had

a lot of emergency. A day. There's a lot of people. Put it on the poll at Levitard show. In your neighborhood, are you expecting 3,300 emergencies a day? At least that's three blocks. It's a big area. I understand. No, but you're expecting just typical Latin popcorn. K. I mean, people are walking around my chat just cutting down trees.

It's easy to lose that finger. It's very easy to lose that finger. Yeah, it is mango season. And I will cut that season. Oh, you know what I mean, mango? Dude, people are offering mangoes by the bundle right now. Just multiple people showed up at my house and my parents house.

A neighbor from behind that we never talked to us, he's like, here's a bag full of mangoes, want them, I have extra. People are giving them away because they just can't eat enough of that. They can't consume the mangoes before they go bad. Once a mango's David. We live in a marsh, we live in a marsh.

We live in a marsh, we live in a marsh. We've got to eat them before they just all rot on the floor. We gotta hand him out to our neighbors. I mean, where, high alia is the best in the worst of our people, and they should have their 9-1-1s, and they're, they're, they're calls answered. Whether it's because they, they, they, they,

they want you to have their 9-1-1s. Sure, and the most shabby, excessively, because a man drives around the neighborhood with a horrible screeching sound. He makes a kill you, to sharpen your knives, a nice cream truck that sharpens your knives, because yes, if you're sharpening your knives to get some of those mangoes, they're so plentiful that you've got to give the aludis. I have a mango guy. It's a pine pest. Pine. I have a mango guy. It's fine, fest.

Fine, fest is also your mango guy. Can we talk for a second about Tyree Kilt? Let's do that next. Hello, someone, listen. I need help. I'm in Barcelona, and the creatures are everywhere. If you listen to the rice, look at the rice. Listen to what you hear. Si tu ayuda estoy en Barcelona y las criaturas están por todas partes. A raíz, ¡blook! ¡A raíz! Escuchéis lo que escuchéis, tapados los ojos.

La calle vamos todos a cieras, pero lo más aterradores no saber en que confiar. Uy de las personas que os piden que mireis. Si queréis seguir convido. Vertbox Barcelona, estreno en Netflix el 14 de julio. Te atreves a ver. Don Lebatard! Ha ha, could I interest any of you in an opportunity to make money? Where I buy some calling cards

and I sell them to you and then you get three friends and then you're making money off the ones they sell. Ha ha, Amirab. Stu Gatz! And he's sayinged to it. The more friends, the more you make friends.

I'm illum. This is the Don Lebertar Show with this Stugats. A couple years ago, the Browns were the football team that went into this part of we need football programming. Part of the sports calendar, the Browns were from one win, two seasons, laughing stock for 15 seasons. Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham, season of expectations, crushed them, collapsed under it.

Teams splintered apart, Jarvis Landry, somewhere else, the whole thing, the franchise couldn't withstand it. Last year, the dolphins were that franchise. The dolphins provided a great deal of enthusiasm, but then their quarterback got hurt and it's sort of soiled. What universally throughout the sport, everyone would say, was a well-coached offensive team that had a ton of skill position, guys, and now is talking about adding Dalvin cook as well to an

offense that Joe Banner is saying is a piece away from being a piece away and that's insulting to me. Banner, they're a piece away. They are not a piece away from being a piece away. How dare you question any of that. That would be two pieces, right? That's, well, yeah, it seems like more though. Right. When you do a piece away from a being a piece like your far away. It's not, you're not particularly close. The star on this team who left the champion chiefs to come down here and be a star to be more famous to do the Tyree Kill podcast with Antonio Brown to do the Tyree Killed Podcast with Antonio Brown. Tony, you backed away from the microphone with your hands. I saw clips of that podcast and I was trying to figure out because obviously sometimes people

put clips together and make things sound weird, but it just sounded like AB was just talking about things that didn't make sense. And all together, we can do hours on Antonio Brown and whatever it is. He may just be an asshole or football did that to him. Whatever's happening there is not, it's obviously and publicly not mentally stable. And so again, when he goes on the podcast, Tyree Kill in Antonio Brown, he blames Tom Brady again for him taking his shirt off because of the dehumanizing in I was hurt. Again, when he goes on the podcast, Tyree Killin' Antonio Brown, he blames Tom Brady again for him taking his shirt off because of the dehumanizing and I was hurt, I couldn't play,

they all pressured me to play. And my body's breaking down and football players when their body's breaking down and their minds break down, it's a special kind of crazy. I mean, I felt for Deon Sanders, seeing him in the hospital with blood clots and worried about having a foot amputated. And I thought to myself as I'm watching that, even in that case, was it worth it to even be Deon Sanders if the beating that you take is something that leaves you with an amputated foot.

Now, when you're at the height of fame, but can't really walk, like is it worth your foot? And I don't know what kind of beating Deon. So he wasn't a very physical player. The sport just does that to anybody It's crazy. Well, he played it less physically than most yes I've spoken of players about this Andre Dawson is my best example Paul can't walk he wouldn't change a thing If you asked the on standards today

He would tell you wouldn't change a thing I think most players if you ask him that question We talked to Jason Taylor about some of the horrific things he had to do just to get back on the field on Sunday. And he said, yeah, do it all over again. And so the horrific compromises that one has to make to be a piece away from being a piece away and makes you sacrifice whatever moralities we dispense with holy shit. Tyree kill is fast. And I want him on my team no matter what even though he's

Leot literally in Accusations involving the hitting of women children and men like it's what Neil Brennan says about that's when football Spills over the sidelines and then football players accidentally accidentally do football in public and Tony Brown is going on the Tyree kill Podcast after Tyree Kill podcast after Tyree Kill has gotten on a boat and allegedly slapped the guy in the back of the head. It wasn't gonna press charges, learned it was Tyree Kill and then pressed charges.

The other thing too, yeah, Tyree said who he was, which also not a heavy play. You got to put that one there. I'm number 10 for the dolphins, I'll buy you. No, don't say that one. That well, Kansas City kept him away for the dolphins. I'll buy you. No, don't say that one. That well. Kansas City kept him away from the microphones. Kansas City, you never got to know Tyrick Hill

with a podcast under Andy Reed's championship, Kansas City. He had to come to Miami to be free. He had to come to Miami to have no rules. He had to come to Miami to tell you, hey, coach, get on my back. I'll get you 18 touchdowns a year because hold your shit up faster than everybody. Are you blaming Mike McDaniel? It's kind of what it sounds like. It does. Are you? No, what I what I'm asking say it. The good

work. He had coach. I mean, good work. I dare you to say it. The player has more power than the coach. I mean, the coach has to listen. You cannot allow to re-killed to have a podcast with Antonio Brab. You can't. I'll say it if you're not going to say it. You want to say it. I'll say it. Anyone can have a podcast, too.

And stop vaping on the sidelines while you're at it. Enough. I mean, it's catching the football. I have the prize. A legend. Sorry. We don't know that he was vaping on the sidelines. It just looked like that optically, right?

Has anyone asked him? Has anyone asked him? They have and he's very coy with his response. Is it just him being like cute and like wanting to keep it alive? Which what are we getting out of that? Did it bother you when managers had heaters on the bench? No. Jimmy Leland, one of your managers, a Marlon's manager. I don't know if you guys miss that. I'm not a young man. What are you kidding me? I missed that time put it on the put it on the pole, please Jude you're out in Levitage show was baseball better when managers were smoking heaters in the dugout It's one of the scariest guests requests that we have to send every once in a while to Lealin

Yeah, because he's he's like he's kind of a grump. He's very grumpy and grouchy But like also nice at the same time is like for dad. All right. I'll do it But he's like grouchy, but also nice at the same time. He's like, for dad, all right, I'll do it. But he's like grouchy the whole thing. Who? What? Okay, I'll do it. He used to sleep in the office, so the clubbies had to make up a bed for him, because he would not ever leave.

He was that kind of guy. A gruff baseball man. He also, this happened throughout his career where he had, you know, tells around in other cities. This act, I think it was Larry Rothschild who used to do to him or no maybe it was Perry Clark one one of these guys They would be in the same room and Jim Leeland would sit there and The other person would knock on the bottom of the table and Jim Leeland would run to the door and be like those damn kids in every city Every city I go to they come and knock on these cars and I look down the hallway and I yell at them

and they got them for like 20 years on it. That's what he looks like, but also a trader Jack, Jack McKeehan used to smoke cigars in the dugout all the time. And so when I was, God, eight or nine years old, I went to Western Regional Park and Jack McKeehan came out to talk to all the kids about baseball and motivate all of us who are all excited after a 2003 World Series and Jack McKeein stood on a pitcher's mound speaking to a bunch of eight year olds on one knee for

90 minutes smoking a cigar the entire time. It was incredible. Other players hate it executives hate it when they have to make the community appearances jack god bless them We set him everywhere. That's one of the reasons we didn't want to fire him in O5 Because he would do everything and we knew Gerardi would do nothing You gotta just send him in the Latin community. He can't even hear his earpiece doesn't work He doesn't speak Spanish. Was it just an old man who wanted someone to talk to? Talk to anybody. That was handsome. I was all perceived.

It was 80s. I remember one of FanFest, and I think you were still there at the time, where Jack McKeein was just propped up in the dugout with the movie theater tape around him, and it was just, and he wasn't managing. He's the years for move from managing. He was just sitting in the dugout with movie theater around him i can't take a picture of the

american prop i had to have been there because jeter fired him so anytime jack was there i was there he he he he you jack macchi in his nineties was he still was in his nineties when you were moving them around the museum and just placing him in places in order to steal the last of his dignity and make a few dollars? I believe he and Pooho's were born the same year. I think they're both in their 90s.

We cannot talk enough about Jack McKin and Jim Leeland, but I was trying to talk about Tyree Gell. Oh, this is way more fun. This is stray forever pool. What did he do? What did I, why did you just make our pool? Well, we know what he did to David. Let's go over it.

In 30 seconds for us. We had him. He was going to be a Marlin. And none of you realize what a bad contract that would have been so good in the beginning and so bad at the end. Would have taken down the entire city. He didn't read the terms. We had fully agreed. I was sleeping on Dan Luzano's sweet couch.

That's the way he means. His agent was agent. I was on the couch trying to make sure that no one saw Albert's wife. And I woke up to a nightmare. Randed a lobby. Don Lebertard. So like there was a time that and I'll tell you who this person is that I admired And I said, that'd be a great career for me. Ryan Seacrest. Still gots. And then to take it a step further, you know, just a couple weeks ago, James Corden was stepping down and he said, you know, it'd be a great replacement for him.

Me. I could do that. I could replace James Corden, right? I actually agree with you on that. If I don't have to move to LA and I could just do this somewhere near to the Tammy Emmy area, like they have an old theater that's kind of abandoned right now, maybe we do something there. I mean, people like to come to Miami, right?

They came out into your late, late, late, late, just studio. Yeah, so I didn't even think about that. Wow, that's a theater right there. This is the Don Lebertar Show with this two guts. see that lebutar show with his two cats. be careful then because i've learned what i compliment people when they're dressed nice that it's usually they're going to a funeral or something and then it's like because i don't know if an orangutan is died or something that ron has to go attend a chronicle later so it's a big careful and really it's all it is all excellent advice we have missed ron uh... last week of course he was emergency saving uh... the c-turtles

but this is not an indictment of how you usually look nor you okay david you don't go to a funeral with two buttons open okay that's the thing not an indictment of how you usually look, nor... You okay, David? You don't go to a funeral with two buttons open. Okay, that's the thing. Hey Miami, you do. No, he's got nightclub written on him. He's got, in fact, he's got a bit of his 20s on him right here with the shirt open and the chain and I'm guessing Cologne and he frequented, he frequented a place where drug dealers were doing bad things in the bathrooms

in nightclub Miami from his heyday and allegedly. Now you know, Ron, you're dressed like both a nightclub owner and a lethario. Well, to be honest with you, Dan, I was kind of, we were recreating a rat pack picture at the fountain blue with one of your associates, Billy Corbin, was part of we were recreating a rat pack picture at the fountain blue with one of your associates Billy Corbin was part of that Shilfra Sheffra Al Pagano and Paul Castronovo we were doing a special show this morning from the fountain blue And they wanted us to recreate the rat pack look So that's why I was asked to dress this way and I had to come straight from there to here Everyone found that story disappointing. I know. I'm sorry

I don't know what else I don't know how to tell you but that's what we did You know, we just were trying to recreate something. I don't know what else I'd also tell you, but that's what we did. You know, we just were trying to recreate something. I hadn't been in the fountain blue in a while. And, you know, there's a lot of history behind that hotel. And we were trying to kind of go back in time. I'd rather you had changed. Then tell that story. Well, do you know Ron McGill? Yes, of course. How do you? Let me check. Ron, how do you feel about David Samson?

By the way, Samson just mentioned he said someone's broken ranks around here. He says he's got Mike Sher's number. That someone, there's a rat in our midst. And it wasn't me. I mean, it sounded like it was you. I said to Mike Lowell's number. I don't need Mike Lowell's number. Ron McGill, I've got a number of questions as I do every single week with you, but why couldn't

you make it last week? Explain to me what it is that you do with the seed turtles and how important it is what you're doing to save, you know, in Florida, we're very good about trying to protect this one animal. Yes, there are various species of seed turtles that call South Florida home and we have a sea turtle hospital here at Zuma Army. It's one of the few. It's actually the only sea turtle hospital in South Florida that is certified to treat a, you know, fibropathaloma. It's the type of tuna that these tumors that turtles get. Anyway, these two big loggerheads that come in from Naples, they were transported over here. They were suffering from red tide. They had barnacles all over them. They had, you know, algae all over them, but emaciated, highly anemic.

So we treated them here for several weeks. We got them back on their flippers, so to speak. And then we had to go release them. And you always release the turtles close to the same beach where they were rescued. So they were rescued out of Naples. So I had to drive out to Naples with the team out there to document these turtles going back out

to the ocean where they belong. So the sea turtle hospital, we've probably released this year alone about 16 different sea turtles of different species, green sea turtles, leatherbacks, I mean, now, a loggerhead sea turtles, you know, Hawkspills. So, we've treated several species of turtles here. They're all endangered species. And the sea turtle hospital here does a great job

in rescuing these turtles and getting them healthy so we can get them back to the wild. That's the objective. Do they get scared when you take the turtles across alligator alley? Like, do they wear blindfolds so they don't know where they are? How do you do that? No, we wrap their flip-resolup and towels and things so they don't hurt themselves during transportation. But they stay pretty chill during the transportation.

This also isn't something normal people should do, right? Like, if you see a sea turtle washed up, you should not be trying to aid the sea turtle, correct? No, you should always call authority. It. Call FWC Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They will get an officer out there to, you know, over to... Do you answer all the calls that come? Do those calls get answered 100% of the time? They should. They should. You know, we are... They're the people who connect us and say, this is...

We've got rescue to turtle. We've got to bring it to the hospital. We... There's also see turtle hospital marathon. There's went up in and Palm Beach. So, um, but we're the only ones qualified to work here in Miami with the, uh, the fiber papaloma virus, which causes these big tumor sometimes of struck vision and could get into the organs of the animal and kill it. Ron, just so people understand what you've dedicated your life to here. And we tell them all the time, this is the only charity that we've been involved in.

For many years, because Ron McGill helps the animals one-on-one directly in this manner, where it matters that he could say, I saved 16 turtles, even though the amount... I didn't save them, but people saved them, and we help support the people who saved. Okay, he took pictures. Yeah, you took pictures at the fountain,

okay, with Billy Corbin and it's... I felt it. Soptin' all your fame. No, no, I understand. Other people, no, this is what happened. It's now we can get it the truth. Here we go. These other people saved the turtles. And when it's time for your photo op with Billy Corbin, I'll be at the fountain blue with my best shirt. It's not my best shirt, but it's a black shirt. They wanted the all black look. You know what I mean? I know, but you're the rat pack and all of this while the others are saving the turtles

and you're just getting the fame in the magazine coverage. And the money and the electric hours. That's exactly right, Dan. I just call me in, I stamp the picture, just press the shutter, two seconds, I'm done, get all the glory. What is your best shirt? Great question.

My best shirt, I have a very nice tuxedo shirt that I had custom made for me that I, it's made of this material that's just, gosh, it feels like, oh, it's just gorgeous on me. And it just sits really well. And it was custom made for me. And I have a weird, you know, body. So it makes me look better than I am.

I would really like to take inventory of the fact that since he was on with us last time, when we said to donate to his substantive endowment, he had a Cadillac and we're showing that. Oh, that's true. Let me finish what's happening here. You bought a more expensive car and then the next time he shows up, his clothes is better.

Fancy first. The jewelry is showing. I actually had someone, I think it was from Hawaii, a listener, donate $1,000 and they said, is this going to the Cadillac fund? And I don't know if I felt bad or I laughed, but that's what it said. It went to the Sherp Fund, I mean. It seems like Cadillac in shirts and yeah, photo shoots. I wanted to ask you again as I read these stories about shark's attacking boats, Ron,

because we talked about the Orcas, the Vengeance Orcas. Forgive me. The Orcas not a whale, the Orcas from the Dolphin family, even though it's called a killer whale, do I have that wrong? Yes, it's in the Dolphin family, it's a citation, like all whales are citations, but not all citations or webs. And it takes apart a rudder, inventions,

because it knows how to disable a vehicle. Something in the sea that is above us in the food chain, in the sea knows how to take apart our vehicles by attacking them because our boats did something bad to them. Listen, I'm not concerned, you know, I'm concerned with myself a killer whale expert, but I do know how incredibly intelligent these animals are, and I do believe,

like I know elephants can hold a grudge, they can be vengeful, they can remember bad things that happen to them, and then take it out on that person later on in life, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to know that these orcas maybe have had, you know, suffered some boat strikes and taking that as an aggressive maneuver, and now we're tall eating, that wouldn't surprise me at all. We've talked about this this but the director of our

planet too on Netflix said that his cruise boat had been attacked by sharks. The quote the quote was the whole boat exploded like how do I explain that? Well I think it's you know I think when they're talking about they're probably talking these zodiacs they're inflatables so you know they bit the zodiac and of course a lot of the air went out of the Zodiac, depending on the structure of that boat. And it's hard to say how to explain it, Dan, you know, that the shark could have misinterpreted that

as a huge sea lion going through the ocean and go after it. I can't read the shark's mind. It's obviously a wear behavior. This is not something that is commonly seen. But the bottom line is, yeah, you know, when you get into the same territory as these animals that are apex predators and they can, you know,

confuse something for food, then you're going to get attacked. And it's not out of the realm of speculation to think they could have confused a big zodiac is some type of big seal or some type of, you know, big mammal that they're going to feed on. Let me play for you here, some know, big Mabel that they're gonna feed on. Let me play for you here some video run of a fisherman in the Everglades washing his hands off the side of the boat

for a couple of seconds. And this will horrify Stugatts who is called 911 on a frog and has run out of the studio. Those calls were answered. When a snake was in here with a shark swallows the hand and pulls this person into the water. Look at this. Yeah.

Oh, no. Yeah, it's tough to watch, but not shocking, Dan. Not shocking. Because first of all, sharks, anyone who's fished in the Everglades, they know this. Sharks have learned to follow boats, because they want to take your fish when you catch them. Any fisherman will tell you sometimes they consider sharks their arch enemy because

they bring it in a big snapper that they just hook. The shark comes and eats the snapper because these sharks are attracted to the boats when the fish are fighting the line that's a distress that sends out vibrations in the water that the sharks pick up. So the sharks are hanging around the boat in the first place. So it's not really smart when you're fishing and you take the fish off the hook, you're lucky enough to get the fish in your boat and then you put your hands in there. The shark says, oh, I missed the fish, but I'm not going to miss it twice. And it gets the hand. Again, it's a

mistaken quote-unquote attack. It's this shark reacting to something. It just had a fish brought in. The guy is the unhooked the fish. He's got fish blood all over his hand. So he puts it in the water. Boom! This is not rocket science. So, you know, and I'm not saying that the guy was being stupid, he was just not thinking it through, and I can say that as an armchair quarterback right now, because I think a lot of us have probably done that, and hopefully a lot of us won't do that in the future. But it seems like you are saying it's the fisherman's fault, not the shark's fault, like the shark is just being a shark. The shark was being a shark. The shark wasn't going after the fisherman going,

ah, it's a human I'm going to get of it's not like this vengeful thing going after humans. The shark is hanging around a boat where people are fishing. They're dreaming fish. They're under distresses. They're fighting the hook. They're trying to get the fish. Sometimes the sharks get the fish. Sometimes they don't. But when you stick your hands right in the water. Right afterwards, when you've handled the fish, you've got the blood, the smell of the fish on your hands. It's splashing in the water. The shark thinks it's the fishing at the end. Well, that's what's happening. That's see, we had that video also,

if a guy puts his hand in the water and then loses his pinky and the shark's just, like that's a delicious sausage. Like that's it, that's a fish. I don't think that's a human hand. Why would I think that's a human hand? That's a delicious, the hand smells like fish. It's a sausage fish.

It's a, look, imagine, imagine if you've got stuck one of his sausage fingers in the sea. That would be a delightful treat for a shark. It's instinctive feeding behavior. It's not malice. Okay, that's the key thing to keep in mind. And you're a shark apologist.

Oh, I know, I know. But see, then you have this guy. What's he doing? What's he doing? Why is he reaching in water trying to reach into a shark? And do a shark? Well, that's how he lost his pinky. Okay, well, so there you have this guy. What's he doing? What's he doing? This is why he's reaching in the water trying to reach into a shark. That into a shark? Well, that's how he lost his pinky. Okay. Well, so there you go, Dan. This is something who reaches in there. Right.

Right. He's right. With all due respect, with all due respect, I just saw video the other day too of, you know, your buddy Drew Rosenhaus getting in the water and holding it back in the shark. Like it's the big thing to do. You know, I don't have anything personal against Drew, but that was, that was just raw., then your buddy my buddy drew Rosenhouse To me you know sports elites I thought all you guys What is that?

Sports circle like you guys are If you're not in the circle don't accuse him of being my buddy. He's not my buddy. Okay. Well, that's good to hear Have you done a South Beach sessions with him? Hmm. No, he's been our God bless football But Dan rose in house and who else who else? Sports elite you going would you go in the water when some football players have to shark and go and swim behind it and hold its tail like look at me look what I'm doing. They did it in jackass, steveo did it. Point well taken thank you Dave. Point well taken. Good to see you Miguel.

Thank you. We'll talk to you again next week. Jim Berry on that list or what do you think? Oh jeez. Have a good week. Who are the sports elites? Give us the five sports elites according to Ron McGill. Steach Shapiro.

Very hot. 20 seconds. And love it, Tard. Great Cody. Pat Riley. What's your rose and house? No, no, not in your eyes. Tom Brady, who happens to be saying it, the fountain blue right now. Oh, from the love of God.

Get out of here. Get him out. Get him out of here. The look at me, Louis, still not working. Please fix it. Thank you. Somebody fix it. Get out of here. The look at me Louis still not working. Please fix it. Thank you. Somebody fix it.
