You're listening to DraftKings Network. Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard 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, fat face and the habitual liar. I have lost you for two segments, Greg Cody, because you've been very busy making aluminum foil hats. Thank you. You're proud of this latest version of the hat that you have created?

It's bigger than the other one. Yeah. It doesn't seem worth any of our time and effort. I'm not sure it's a very good hat. Looks like an upside down boat. This does not rise to the level of pride, but I do think it's better than the first attempt because this one fits my head a little bit better, gives me a little coverage, is a little snug. You know, I could wear this out in a rainstorm and not really get rained

on. So I think it's a workable hat can collect the rain in there too if you need to. You like Johnny Cash on Hee Haw. That's a good reference. I would've thought you were too young for Hee Haw reference. What did he say? It doesn't matter. Of course you didn't have your earphones on. You had a tin foil hat on.

Oh you had a hat on. It's tough putting this hat over headphones. You can't do both. I'm only one man. Yep. I mean, I can't do it all. You are indeed only one man. I don't understand your That Kind of Thing reference. What is happening in my ears now?

Your That Kind of Thing as a slogan. Yeah, That it what do you when do you use it like when is an expression it's almost always appropriate uh... you know it's a it's a it's a uh... a place card uh... you know it's a it's a segue it's a an affirmation uh... you know you're you some no matter what somebody says me i'll go yeah i gotta think you know i'm agreeing with them matter what somebody says me i'll go yeah i don't think you know i'm agreeing with them i'm giving them affirmation is a throwaway

though it doesn't utility phrase said that i said i think it's the only aluminum of his phrase aluminum foil of phrases and it's gonna be said quickly as one word i don't think i want to know more about these family olympics on the greg cody show uh... featuring greg cody and with our, can you tell me more about what is happening there? Because you said you have marshmallow expectoration, you have towel folding. I was told here recently, I agreed to this, I assume it will never happen because they also need Stugatz's agreement on this but I was told that we're doing swimming. I have never in my life had a race where I

swim. I don't know the last time I swam. I really don't know. There is no way I will win this. I'm assuming that these Olympics that we're doing here are only meant to get me and Stugatz shirtless, correct? That's the only goal here. And jumping into a pool of like, and just, yeah, the whole thing. Yes, we are efforting to do it. We are going to do it. And it's gonna be later in the Olympics.

We're kind of building up to it, Dano. You and Stu got- What do you mean you don't know the last time you swam? No, raced, like he's saying. Oh, a race. A race, yes. And also, I would say, the last time I swam, I've been in pools and stuff,

and done some stuff underwater, but like a stroke of some sort, I legitimately can't remember, unless it's underwater swimming, I can't remember what kind of stroke I've ever put together trying to race in a pool. Crack it up the excuse machine. You just jump in, you jump out, that's it.

I mean, weave a lap in once in a while. How about that? It's good for you. Yeah, I don't do very much of that. If I'm in a pool, it's not to weave a lap in once in a while. How about that? It's good for you. I mean. Yeah, I don't do very much of that. If I'm in a pool, it's not to weave a lap in once in a while. I'm not, I don't know how many laps you're doing, but what other Olympics are we doing here

and what other Olympic categories are on the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody? Swimming is really the only thing we're efforting because it's a whole thing. We were gonna do multiple sports, but we're just focusing in on swimming. We're gonna probably have a preliminary, where the shipping container, if they want to,

anyone that wants to from the show, where we race, and then we build up to the main event where Dan and Stu race. 100 free, or what are we doing here? I'm thinking, yeah, that would be there and back. I was thinking that would be there. Yeah, anybody can do the freestyle. Because I wanna see the underwater push off the wall thing.

The turns, yeah. I wanna see you do that too. You got a butterfly. The turns the key, yeah.. To America's ladies and gentlemen. I don't want to mean to fit the stereotype, but I wish we had any more activities other than aquatics. What is the rest of the group doing? Like what are, I'd like to know some of the other categories

that were in your Olympics. And is this the only thing I'm going to be competing in? Okay. We were going to do ping pong because a lot of people around here think they're good at ping pong. Everyone thinks they're good at ping pong. That's still TBD.

Everybody. I'm really good. I think I'm bad. I think I'm really bad at ping pong. I think everyone would beat me at that. I know we're fantastic at pickleball. I know that for a fact. That should be in the Olympics.

I want to play pickleball. No, I would take them. Do you know that you're great at pickleball you just know that roy's not great and i know me and jessica are the phenomenal team that we are okay champions i i i would like to uh... find uh... the the video please in the audio of anthony edwards and his interactions with the table tennis team because he also believes he is exceptional at table tennis

and you can believe you're exceptional at table tennis and I will tell you, you're not Olympic exceptional at table tennis. If you think you are Olympic exceptional at table tennis, you clearly have not been watching any Olympic table tennis. None of you would win a single point against any of the people competing at the highest level right of Olympic table time I'd get a point

You have them beating me 21 to nothing How they hold the paddle when they serve they're great Gary they're talented I understand that but a point You're gonna hit a shot out every now and again. No, no You could return up a table tennis serve. The way they hold the, I can't even fathom the physics of it. I return the serve of a professional tennis player. Anthony Edwards over here. Stugats, you did with a cigarette.

I did, right, even more impressive. I remember that, yeah. I think I did too, I gotta rack it up. It was after like 50 tries. With a cigarette, you did return a single serve from a professional tennis player, you did. But you are also someone, and this is criminal in your industry,

the lack of expertise in it, who consistently underestimates the excellence of the people playing sports, and consistently overestimates your own excellence when it comes to these things. I'm just saying a point. I mean, a little slice back in. I mean, good luck getting that back to me. It really is absurd in that he does believe these things. With the center of his heart, he believes that he can do anything against anyone to what type of loose end and answer your direct question the five events so far in the

Greg Cody shows father-son Olympics in addition to towel folding and marshmallow expectoration we've had pickleball bounce we've had nail pounding hmm and we've had what was the other one Christopher staring contest staring contest Wow, yeah, and so Yeah It's where you take a pickle ball paddle and a pickle ball and see how many times you can bounce it To at least eye level without missing. Hmm. Hmm and level without missing. Did Chris's daughter come up with these games? Well we didn't want like just any old Olympic event. You know we wanted something that you couldn't see in Paris. Okay you can see anything else in Paris

if you want. You can't see towel folding in the Paris Olympics. Well you can't see it on your podcast either because you bleeped up the recording. So like that part I found kind of amazing. The fact that an Olympic event has disappeared because you had technical issues. It just vanished, you didn't do it over. You just recorded the result and moved it on. Somehow that is, do you know how hard it is on a podcast

to have a worse idea than a staring contest in terms of what it is you're providing to the audience? That's just it, that's exactly it. Yes. I hit record and handed my dad the phone. His job was to just hold it there so that they could hear when I was doing the folding. Well, tell us more then.

How did this towel folding thing play out? Because I'm intrigued. I've been on my Sheriff Cruises. I actually have a couple of towel folds in my house that I like to show off. No, it's not like the animal. It's not that. No, it's not a judged event.

There's three disheveled towels in a pile and it's a timed event. Who can take the three towels, fold them and stack them neatly? So no extra points for fancy fold. No, it's a race to see who can neatly fold three towels and stack them on top of each other. Now you videoed me doing that.

So there's a record of me doing it. But when you were folding the towels, that's when there was a malfunction on my part. Yeah, my dad is he he doesn't fold a lot of towels He was like laying it down on the table like me. I'm doing it Like you fold it in half up right here two folds like I'm I've it's part of my job with laundry is folding And you know, I do on the gold. Yeah. Well, you only beat me by two tenths of a second It's a major fumbles though. I was just about to ask who won I won Second what were the rejected?

Contests well we were only halfway through the Olympics so we got five ahead of us as you can tell there's not a great vetting process It's basically oh, that's an idea. All right. Let's do it. It's what we agree on. What are the five ahead of us? We don't know yet. We love it. We're gonna pull it right out our Seat of our pants. I love it. We're gonna pull it right out our, whoo, flying by the seat of your pants. That's a good event. That would be a good event. That expression, does that come from Peter Pan, from something in theater, from something in acrobatics, the flying by the seat of your pants?

Come on it. I don't know where that expression comes from. Before we get to the F1 minute, which I want to get to Stu Gatz, I did just want to circle back around on how it is we underestimate how much athletes care about their singular obsessions. Being in a swimming pool as a sport seems super lonely. We've talked to swimmers before including Michael Phelps about that loneliness and just as a lifestyle what it is to try and train to be a tenth of a second faster than the next person. I really can't fathom what it is to be that good at something that you can be fourth best

in the world, that you can wait four years for something you want to achieve and that you lose by a tenth of a second when you're spending all four years in that loneliness obsessing about how do I get that extra tenth of a second. I can't imagine what the haunting is to finish an arbitrary fourth place instead of an arbitrary third place by a tenth of a second when you have to do what these people do to care the amount that they care to actually get to the top of the world to compete in these things. Yeah and then not even have a tin medal waiting for you. Right, right. You know. Because you were four tests of the senate slower exactly a plan

uh... it's got to be the worst sports pain imaginable right you train your entire life by yourself it's a lonely existence you're training your training your training at someone else in another part of the world is also trading and that person is one-tenth of a second better then you are at swimming. I mean, that's gotta be, yeah, that's gotta be a lonely feeling, a sad feeling.

This is why they say during the opening ceremony for a lot of the athletes, like, this is your moment, because you might not get a moment of glory playing your sport. You might not even make it out of, like, the first heat to qualify to race in the final or whatever your sport is. And so, like, this is it.

You get out of your little boat right down the send with your flag and that might be the pinnacle of your Olympics moment because it's so hard to win. Flying by the seat of your pants, first used around 1935. It referred to pilots flying in heavy fog without their instruments. They learned to tell whether they were flying right side up by pressure against their parachute packs.

I have it as with the seat being the largest point of contact whether they were flying right side up by pressure against their parachute packs. Wow. Basically, I have it as, with the seat being the largest point of contact between the pilot and the plane, it was from the seat of his or her pants that the pilot could feel how the airplane was reacting to his or her controls. So it has nothing to do with the actual pants

and everything to do with your ass. Okay. It's unbelievable. I thought it was Peter Pan. It's Peter Pants. Hey there, loyal listener. As you know, in listening to this show, we've been around for almost 20 years. It's gonna be 20 years in September, and a lot has changed over those years. Not just the cast, but the locations we've been doing it from. We started out in Miami Gardens,

went to South Beach, and now we're in downtown Miami. A lot has changed. One thing that hasn't is the great taste of Miller Lite and the support Miller Lite has had for this show, which I'm very fond of. Another thing that hasn't changed is that it's less filling. So what is the best thing about the original light beer? Miller Lite sparked this debate way back in 1975 and we still haven't settled it. For me it's the undebatable quality. Great taste and only 96 calories. You don't have to choose what's best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time.

To get Miller Lite delivered right to your door, visit MillerLite.com slash Dan. Or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer. Celebrate responsibly, Miller Brewing Company Milwaukee, Wisconsin 96 calories per 12 ounces. Fewer cows and carbs than premium regular beer Don LeBattard you don't remember the idea. I was probably like that kind of thing Something okay. No the home run call was that kind of swing that kind of thing Stugats oh It's a good call. Thank you And plus it doesn't matter who's hitting it like you're not tailing it to a particular aim you know all that jazz you know you don't gotta do that you know that would be a great

call oh that kind of swing that kind of thing this is the done libertar show with the Stu Gats Because we genuinely do have here two South Florida journalism icons, I want to get Izzy's thoughts and Greg Cody's thoughts on Tua's signing because it's fairly monumental for the quarterback, for the Dolphins to announce that they have a quarterback they believe in who they're going to pay it's something odd as it is to say that we have not had in this market this century it's not something that we've known in this market it's weird it's a weird thing to say so we will get to that in a second but I want to tell everybody here who's been with

us in the local hour and has followed our show for 20 years, that before football season, we're going to have a few announcements to make that are pretty cool about how it is that we're expanding and how exciting it is after, I don't know, three and a half years of doing this away from a mainstream place, to now have the paywalls coming to us and saying, hey, can we have

your content? And it wouldn't restrict any of the other places you're in. We just want to add to your reach and your growth. And we're going to have a couple of exciting announcements before football season. But for right now, you can get us every day live on YouTube from 9 to 11 a.m. Eastern. You can get us on Macs from 11 to noon Eastern. You can get us on the DraftKings network from 11 to 2 Eastern. And also at any point, Roku TV, Samsung TV, Google TV, Zoomo Play, the DraftKings network

online, and also the full show episodes are all on YouTube by 2 p.m. you're gonna have all of that and a couple of other cool places where you can find us as soon as the Olympics are over and right before football season. I kind of want to mess with my dad here he was complaining earlier about the way US gymnastics men celebrated the bronze do you remember how Belgium celebrated third place of the World Cup? I don't. They celebrated it with what was hundreds of thousands of people like joining in like a courtyard area

and then the team as if they won it was like making speeches like at a parade. I just love. Like a king speaking to all his people from a balcony. That's how they celebrate. That is sad. The video audience can see here. Look at this crowd that gathered for third place.

So sad. Guys it was their best ever finish in a World Cup. Let them have their fun. That is like look at that. That's too much fun. I mean for third place. It's too much fun. It's a reason to drink more come on. You know in fairness, the only thing the Belgians are famous for is the waffle. So I kinda get that they threw a parade for a third place. Put it on the poll, please, at Le Bataille Show, Juju is the only thing that Belgians are famous for, the waffles.

You know, speaking of Belgium, that's where F1 was this weekend. It's time for our F1 Minute. Look at that. Wow, Professional. Brought to you by Andretti Cadillac. Learn about Andretti's work to join Formula One at AndrettiCadillac.com. It's the last race before summer break

and Formula One is at Spa for the Belgian Grand Prix. Will Verstappen extend his championship lead? Will Carlos Sainz finally decide where he's driving next year? Will the winner of the race be disqualified hours after it's done? Stay tuned, Verstappen is the fastest at qualifying, but it'll take a 10-base grid penalty to start from P11. It's lights out, away we go,

as Charlotte Claire leaves the pack. But Hamilton's Mercedes is too fast for his future teammate and he takes the lead. Hamilton is leading in the race. Front runners are opting for a two-stop strategy, except Russell, who decides to roll the dice and go long on his hard set of tires. Piastri is chasing for a podium spot,

but he has a slow pit stop and his Jack Man goes flying with just eight laps to go. Piastri chases down Leclerc and has his eyes on the Mercedes. Russell has the lead and hasn't taken a second stop, but his tires might run out of juice. Hamilton is right behind him on pressure tires. Will Mercedes give team orders with Piastri right behind Lewis or let the lads race

It'll be a battle to the finish for the Mercedes and Russell crosses the line first Russell pulls off the improbable one stopper and wins His second race of the season. It's a Mercedes one to finish But wait faster the FIA would like to have a word But wait George Russell has been disqualified Oh no From theching Grand Prix for driving with his car underweight. I just drooled all over myself.

It'll be a Lewis Hamilton win. His second of the season. The king is on top again. Yes. Jackman flying. Yes, excellent work there. A shocking left turn in that F1 minute. Our first drool. Yes.

To accompany the F1 minute. Oh it's not? First that I couldn't ignore. I'm on belgium.com and it says the thing that Belgium is most famous for is chocolate, not waffles. I thought that's... Put that on the poll as well, Juju. Belgians more famous for chocolate or waffles. And I would add a third category.

One of the best beers in the world is a golden ale from Belgium called Duvel. That's number three on belgium.com. It is not nearly as famous as the other two. It is ridiculous. It's a ridiculous thing to say. All Greg Cody wanted to do there was show you that he knew a belgian beer it's as close to culture as he comes drinking a beer outside his garage it's in my a garage refrigerator right now four bottles of bill with a bunch of middle-aged now that's actually last night yet actually number four on belgium dot com french fries number three really yes what about brussels sprouts well yeah i like that i like that one Are they famous and why is it? Why would bells?

They're just called sprouts over there. Yeah, they put mayonnaise on fries in Belgium, which is just wrong It's so good. No, it's so good. Oh, don't knock it till you try it boy I'm not gonna and never gonna try it dance ever look more angry What the only way to make french fries better is to do that. Mayo? Yes. No. Oh my god.

No, no. The way to make french fries the best is with sweet baby-raised barbecue. That is the best. Mayo. Yes. You hate to hear it from me, but mayo, 100%. No, no, no, no, no, no.

The only thing a fry wants is a lot of salt. You got to heavily salt the fry, slide it into your mall with nothing on it, no ketchup, no nothing. You know what we should do? Sorry, Juju, we should remember when you had to stick your hand in the Manny's bucket, we should bring that back and then make you eat french fries out of it. Let's get this settled with Pablo Torre, from Pablo Torre finds out because the-

Who made him the expert on this? There's just all sorts of blasphemy here raw dogging the french fry is the best way to have the french fry like that's no good little salt that's a lot of salt you gotta have you gotta have a condiment no you don't want a condiment on fries no condiments on fries salts is the biggest biggest condiment you need on there it's the measure of a good fry a a great fry, Dan. If you don't need anything to make the fry better, that's a good fry. Like McDonald's, you don't need a single thing.

Zagacki. Pablo? That's a lie. That is a lie, Stu. A sweet and sour sauce? Yeah. Dip your fries into a sweet and sour sauce? My God.

Oh yeah. That is the multicultural America that I've been dreaming of. So if you get the number 10, the 10 piece nugget, fries, medium Coke, I understand you have the sweet and sour sauce, you might dip a fry in there, and I understand that it's good, I'm just saying, it's also good without any single sauce, and that's the measure of a good fry. The naked fry, man?

You guys... Yeah. He needs something. That's how you watch your figure as well. You pick up all those empty calories putting out a ketchup and honey mustard, what did Pablo say? Sweet and sour? Come on man, get in the gym, get healthy, get some abs. Is the salted fry naked? Yeah, I think so. Put that on the poll as well, Juju. Is the salted french fry naked? It's like pizza. A plain slice determines whether or not pizza is good. If you need to add pepperoni, sausage,

meatball, ham, meat lovers, I love a good meat lovers, but if you need to add those things, not a good slice of pizza. That's fair. What do you mean it's fair to say the french fries not any good if you put ketchup on it? That's what you're saying. Ketchup is the enemy of the french fry. Of a good french fry, yes. That's asinine.

You've never said anything more ridiculous in your life. of a good friend that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's it's the go-to for so many people. They don't even think before they how are you so comfortable? Dismissing the opinions of others when you are totally ignorant on a subject like I've never tried mayonnaise With my french fries, however, it is stupid and I can't be good Like how is it that you're so comfortable in that ignorant? Okay. The answer is that I know very well in that ignorance. Okay, the answer is that I know very well mayonnaise. I know it very well. I know this, mayonnaise is great on a turkey sandwich, not as good on a ham sandwich. There are certain facts about eating,

about the kitchen, about culinary skills, and so I don't have to try a french fry with mayonnaise to know that it would be a ghastly fit. You definitely want to let the ham speak for itself, right? Ham and mustard are good partners. No doubt, yep. But not so much ham and mayonnaise for some reason. I can't really explain it, but I know it.

Yeah, apologize Dan. What's the last time you remember a combination of foods, Greg, that you hadn't tried before that you ended up liking. Oh, he's not a trier of learning. Oh, no. No, no, no, no. You've ceased, you have given up on learning.

Don't tell me you haven't. I'm very fair metal in the kitchen. Greg, you as a grown man. Baby! As a, we heard that already. As an utensil. That was from him, he said that on air. He was not saying that to just you.

Baby! A couple babies, okay, then. Yeah, damn right it is. Baby! Triples as best. Thank you, let's all say it. Baby! Baby! Baby!

Greg did mention, by the way, sliding a fry into your maw recently. Just wanted to flag that as well. Thank you. He's been using maw as a word comedically since I've known him since he doesn't use mouth He uses ma more than money usually gaping ma. Yes, but he is right about this Mustard is reserved for baloney salami ham. It is not reserved for turkey you go Mayo with turkey maybe Thousand Island with roast beef. I mean it's up to you on right

I don't I don't agree with anything you guys are saying. Like, literally not a syllable. Mustard likes the pink meats. Right, two words. That's definitely a Greg Cody saying that Chris picked up somewhere. Put it on the poll, mustard likes the pink meats. Well, Cody did do that.

A fry likes a certain amount of salt right yes and turkey loves mayonnaise they're like this oh yes Louisiana hot sauce ladies and gentlemen that shit tastes good on everything you're not lying I mean Louisiana there's so many hot sauces now right everybody has one Louisiana hot sauce is like a back in my home of the best. Yeah, it could be. When, uh, when are we getting our next Mac back in mind? Right after the Olympics. Yep.

Olympics. Yep. Yeah, of course. These Olympics? No, the ones in four years. No, we're, uh, eventually like my friend, Stephen King says, everything is eventual. In a world of slot reels and blackjack deals comes the must play event of the summer from DraftKings Casino.

What sport do you have, Greg?

I have Equestrian plus the West African nation of Cote d'Ivoire. That's not one of the... Okay. You just drafted a nation. It doesn't have to do it. Listen, the Ivory Coast changed its name in 1986 and became a country named in my honor. So if you don't think I'm willing to talk up that country and get all behind it, once every four years you're wrong.

But I asked you which sport you drafted. Equestria. Yeah, Equestria. But then you gave me a country. Yeah. All the sports and that good thing. I do more than I'm asked to do. Okay, that's my nature.

I want to draft a country, that's not fair. Well, you got one named Jessica? No, I got one named Coat. So how many back in my days you have then if you do more than what's asked of you? I'll have one eventually. Got it. I've cataloged them, I've done hundreds. In fact, I got a back in my day book coming out

fairly soon, like late August, September, October, somewhere around. Gre September October somewhere right Cody book.com yeah so we're really excited about that yeah thank you always goes the extra mile dad yeah I mean you asked for one thing he brings you to accept the thing that you want right yeah I go the extra kilometer which is even longer than a mile in honor of a European Olympics yeah Jessica are you ready to give us a beach volleyball update of some sort? I am so ready. Have you guys watched any beach volleyball

and seen where the stadium is? Because holy crap, it is right in front of the Eiffel Tower and it is beautiful and so far so good for Team USA. But I thought the biggest thing, biggest revelation so far from good for Team USA. But I thought the biggest thing, biggest revelation so far from USA beach volleyball, Chase Budinger, who used to play in the NBA, is now a beach volleyball player in this Olympics. He's 36 years old. He played in the NBA for seven or eight seasons. He's six, seven, and he won his first match against France, who's very good. They won, I think, the last three

international beach volleyball tournaments. So they beat them yesterday. His partner's name is Evans, I can't remember his first name. Miles Evans, I think, something like that. This is your area of expertise. I know, and I completely forgot to write down his first name. Bob Evans. Bob Evans, exactly.

Like, again, with the waffles. Like Kid Rock, yeah, Bob. And then Team USA Women's Beach Volleyball. Everyone knows, of course, the legendary Misty May. Where'd my music bed go? Come on, come on Chris Cody. Misty May and Kerry Walsh, they're no longer in the Olympics, but we have two Women's Beach Volleyball teams that have won their opening matches that are very good. So stay tuned for more, it's still group play. So nothing, no elimination games yet.

We're still in it, we're still doing well, and indoor volleyball also is sick and we lost to China and women's, but they're still very good. Miles Evans. I wonder, thank you, not Bob Evans, Miles Evans. We also said that the kilometer is longer than miles. And I don't think they are. Is it shorter? I think they're shorter.

Yeah, I knew it was one or the other. Right, had to be. He's right. He is right about that. Pablo, do you have any fencing updates for us? I drafted a new sport for this draft, actually, and the sport is diving. And I wanna bring this to your attention

because maybe on the internet, you guys saw a video of what has been the most viral Olympic diving moment, and I wanna play that for you guys if the video team has got enough time for me fill a Buster. The guy who landed on his back? So this is- Spoiler Stan. Oh! Oh my god. I've gotta tell the audio audience what is happening. I think they've seen this

It's the guy that does he jumps off the board does about four or five flips and then backflops into the water. Hmm So this is the Philippines, unfortunately for you boy. And this is that man going full on me and Alhassan in a pool. It's been viewed tens of millions of times at the end of the video also, if we ever get to it. You can see him just sort of like sadly high fiving his teammate on the side.

The reason I bring this up though, because it is the most viral Olympic moment allegedly, what I found out is that this is not from this Olympics. Okay, can we stop making fun of the Philippines? This is the 2015 Southeast Asian Games and my homeland has been answering for this every Olympic since. Rio, it wasn't in Rio, they're doing it in Paris,

it's not in Paris, it's just that one dude in Singapore nine years ago. Can we please move on? I agree with you Pablo, people need to stop trying to fake everyone into thinking something just happened in these Olympics, that's from years ago. This happened yesterday with Diana Tarazi, a picture of her was going viral with a player from I think Japan that was much shorter than her.

And I'm pretty sure that picture was from the Tokyo Olympics. But they played Japan yesterday, so it was like going re-viral again, confusing everyone. Because no one knows anything about the Olympics, everything is new, and so everything is happening right now. There are a million Olympics and non-Olympics

happening in this Olympics, which is cool. I love the Olympics, except it's not the Olympics. happening in this Olympics, which is cool. I love the Olympics, except it's not the Olympics. It is delightful, the way these things happened now to everybody instead of just me, because I am so scared about what my 80s are gonna be like when I'm looking at something that I think is now and they're gonna tell me,

nope, that was 1989 and it's artificial intelligence. I was fully convinced that that had happened now at three straight Olympics. That it was just a different person who just belly flopped differently. The guy just can't get it right. It's like Jason Derulo falling up the stairs at the Met Gala.

Every freaking year we see it again and people fall for it every time. Pablo, you are ashamed on behalf of your people? I'm ashamed on behalf of my people in America who don't have the literacy to know when there's a chyron that says 2015 Southeast Asian Games and think it's still the Olympics. That said, shout out to John Elmerson Fabriga,

the Olympic, the non, by the way, that's the other funny part about this. You think that guy made the Olympics guys, really? You're like, oh, that guy did that in the Olympics. That screams obscure regional Asian diving championship. It does not say greatest in the world, but I appreciate the credit, I guess, on behalf of my people.

Greg, your Equestrian update, you are feeling, do we still have enough music bed there for Greg Cody? This is very cheap music we've got. I love it. It's so dramatic. You know, as the owner of a racehorse calmly, you can understand why I am excited about equestrian like no other sport at these games. And let me tell you, the sport is being run at the Summer Games loveliest of locales, the Palace of Versailles, where royalty once reigned, where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette threw lavish soirees, and where now athlete horses and their riders compete across pristine grounds, breathing with history and elegance.

Controversy shook the sport on the eve of the Games, however, when British dressage star Charlotte Dujardin thrice a winner of gold withdrew in shame from this Olympiad in scandal when a four-year-old video surfaced of her not landing on her back in a pool but whipping a horse during a coaching session and the American equestrian community had earlier been in shock when Jessica Springsteen, yes Bruce's daughter, was unexpectedly left off Team USA despite helping the US win silver in team jumping in the previous Olympiad. Four of six medal events are yet to be determined in Paris. Gold thus far has

only been awarded in individual team eventing, which combines dressage and jumping with cross-country across a grueling 500 meter course of natural and designed obstacles. Germany's Michael Jung won gold aboard his horse Chipmunk, making history as the first three time winner in that event. Great Britain won the team gold with the US yet to medal in the sport this time. However, Team USA has won 11 golds on a horse tied for fifth most and 54 overall, second only to Germany.

But America has not been golden on four legs since 2008. On a personal note, this correspondence favorite horse, Sir Greg, written by Finland's Vera Maninen, regrettably finished 39th of 64 in the individual competition. Reporting to you 9,000 kilometers from Versailles, I'm Greg Comley. Hey, that was fantastic. I gotta give that one out. Expert. I mean, well done. Equestrian. Equestrian. And dressage, by the way. A lot of people say-

Not done. A lot of people say, what is dressage? It's French for training, the word training. And dressage is where the horse responds with quiet little particular skills when barely instructed by the rider. Try and be with the music there because it's going up and down dramatically. I heard the horses don't get medals. They should though, right?

They give them a carrot. What? Yeah. That's it? Do the horses have to be from the respective countries as well? I don't think so, but that's a damn good question. Juju, put those on the poll, Juju, please,

at Levitard Show, should the horses in Equestrian get the medals instead of the human beings? They should both get. And do the horses have to be from the country of origin or can they do what Joel Embiid did? I have top five athletes that can own a horse. Oh, do you really? I do, yeah.

All right, Juju, are you updated on your water polo information? Are you ready to go on water polo? Yes, as soon as I get these two poles consecutively back to back, you just told me to do it. Smoke marijuana. All right, we'll filibuster here with- I can do everything, just one man.

With Stu Katz's top five athlete to connote horses. OLI or number five? Yeah, I have two OLIs. Charlie Hoof. That's absurd. Greg loves that one, that's absurd. because he came up with it.

Asinine. Joe Buck. Ola, number five. Colt McCoy. Number four. Rocky Balboa. The Italian Stallion. Number three.

Michael Gallup. Perfect. Number two. Michael Gallop. Perfect. Number two. Trot Nixon. That's a good one. Number one. Nay Nay Hilario. He just goes by Nay Nay now. It's a good list.

Thought he was just gonna have like a hort, like Justin Verlander. Adam Wainwright. I have two suggestions. One, Jurgen Klopp. Oh, Klopp's good. Klopp's good. Yeah, Klopp.

Clyde Frazier. It's his list. Yeah. Let me make one, go ahead. Pablo, what is on the latest Pablo Tory finds out that you are here selling us? Left out Kenny Maine. Pablo.

I'm just impressed by this list, honestly. Today's episode is about a 44 year old state legislator in Ohio who had not pitched for a baseball team, a pro baseball team called the Sioux City Explorers in 17 years until he got a call one day that he needed to suit up within a period of hours. And this dude, J.D. Shultin, the 44 year old in question, proceeded to win the game, have the game of his life, is now one of the best starters in this independent minor league in the Midwest. And he's also, also again a sitting state legislator in Iowa who happens to be,

I believe this is my argument, the JD that American politics needs right now. Not JD Vance, JD Shultin who is anti-monopoly, an actual grassroots politician who says all the things that we need because he's a guy making $1,400 a month playing minor league baseball and is awesome at it again at age 44 after not pitching for this team in 17 years. So please go listen to why this man should be listened to Bronco Mendenhall. Oh wow. That's a good one. That's very strong. The idea that Hilario doesn't use Hilario anymore and you could have just gone nay nay. I know. I mean, that's my life. Connor Stallions! Yeah. Connor Stallions, he's got a documentary. I have the Italian Stallion. Connor Stallions has a documentary coming out on Netflix.

The Italian Stallion was the name of the stripper at my grandma's 50th. Ha ha3, USA loss, what a po. Hey there loyal listener. As you know in listening to this show, we've been around for almost 20 years. It's going to be 20 years in September and a lot has changed over those years. Not just the cast, but the locations we've been doing it from. We started out in Miami Gardens, went to South Beach, and now we're in downtown Miami. A lot has changed. One thing that hasn't is the

great taste of Miller Lite and the support Miller Lite has had for this show, which I'm very fond of. Another thing that hasn't changed is that it's less filling. So what is the best thing about the original light beer? Miller Lite sparked this debate way back in 1975 and we still haven't settled it. For me, it's the undebatable quality. Great taste, and only 96 calories. You don't have to choose what's best. Miller Lite has great taste and is less filling. Tastes like Miller time.
