Greg tells us about his old family heirloom: 57-year-old die. He also explains his love for drinking pickle juice, the dollar store, and snapping ginger in half at the grocery store. Then, Pablo Torre is here to discuss Kamala Harris' Vice Presidential pick of Tim Walz and why he is a "fun guy" to root for as your "normal average dad."

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 if they're

just there. That hasn't happened to you guys I've done it and now here's the marching band to nowhere that face and the habitual liar Greg your old dice is disgusting it's like yellow it looks like it's covered in bacteria and E. coli and it made me think of Dan's question earlier about the Sun which is apparently also riddled with E. coli and actually a Belgian triathlete had to pull out of the Olympics and her team is claiming that she's been hospitalized with E. coli after swimming in the Seine and so even after this like billion dollar cleanup effort and like constant

testing apparently there are still some nasty in that water and athletes are swimming in it every day. It's up for debate. It's either the Tempest or even though the internet acknowledges it's unlikely, it came from a Dutch saying in which someone was sitting in pickle brine. Okay. Yep. People back in the day really had it so much easier.

They could be the first one to say anything, do anything, and then we just assume that they're so profound. Like, oh, Billy Shakespeare, look at all these things that he wrote. It's like, yeah, well well he's the first one to string together six words because no one had the opportunity to. They also didn't have antibiotics so yeah there's that right dentistry was a bitch back then. Pickle brine by the way used to be a very popular drink my dad used to drink

pickle brine like water. That is appalling. Wild Bill did didn't. No, he didn't. He would drink eight glasses a day. He would save the jar, and when the pickles were done, he would have a glass jar this size full of pickle juice. That's smart. And he would drink it like water. I had plenty of sips of pickle juice. It's great. You know you have to pay nowadays to get pickle juice, pickle flavored juice?

It has to be astronomical. Wild Bill knew. I to be astronomical. Yeah, I'll build new a better wood Yeah, very salty a little vinegary Very flavorful. You can use as a marinade for a lot of stuff Anyway, that's a tangent. Yeah Let me explain to you one of the joys of doing this, okay? This is wonderful, and rare do I get to see a glimpse of my friend quite this clearly after all of these years as he descends into fossilized age. Him talking about Picklebrine, he just nostalgically wandered off toward that time and forgot he

was on a radio show just thinking to himself old thoughts about his dad and he forgot he was with us he got lost in the memories he talked about him so much his podcast I told you we'd lose him we talked about his podcast we got to talk about his dumbass die we got to talk about his talon feet we got to talk about things he cares about we got to talk about me maximum and then. We got to talk about things he cares about. We got to talk about me maximum. And then the moment that he started thinking about drinking pickle brine, which is appalling, put it on the poll please, Juju, at Levitard Show,

is the thought of drinking pickle brine like it's water, appalling to you. My dad also drank clam juice, like it was going out of style. I just found, Greg, I just found online you can buy classic kosher dill juice. One package is 19.5 ounces. A three pack costs $46. It's pricey.

You get what you pay for. It's good stuff. Makes me wanna go home and drink from a pickle jar to be honest with you. Really? We can make that happen before you leave today. That'd be a punishment. I'm gonna videotape myself.

By the way, this picture of me holding a yellow dye, it looks to me like I'm about to swallow it. It looks edible. It's the color of a Cheez-It. And then to Roy's point, I never should have used it. I disrespected the dye. Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard you utter regret on our show. Yeah. I should notpected the die. Hmm. Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard you utter regret on our show.

Yeah. I should not have used that. I could have picked any die, although I don't think I have another die in the house. Odd topic to show regret, I mean. But why need to buy another die? You have one good die. Why buy another one? It's a waste of money.

It's a hall of famer. Use that money to buy some pickles. You could have gone to the Dollar Tree and got some dice. Is that right? Yeah. I don't know where to buy a dice. Dollar Tree. gone to the Dollar Tree and got some dice. Is that right? Yeah. I don't know where to buy a dice. Dollar Tree. Where do you buy dice?

On the internet. Well, internet. That's a good question. I mean, if you're in your car driving around and you need dice, where do you go? Right. It's a fair question. Yeah.

It is. No, I mean, the dollar store I'm sure has dice. I don't know. That's one of those things that you're like, what is my solution? sure has dice. I don't know. That's one of those things that you're like, ah, what is my solution? I need dice, I need them fast. What do I go to? A toy store?

Yeah, but what do you do? Do you go to like buy Yahtzee and take the dice out of the Yahtzee game? What do you do? They definitely sell them at the store like with the playing cards. I'd have to get. Isolated dice?

Like a six pack? Greg, was the game, whoever throws it the farthest wins or do you have to roll the highest with your feet no You you totally different sport you launch the die with your foot and you you can you know There's a strategy you can hit it like a two iron and go for the roll, but it doesn't matter what you roll Maybe it should be weighted like what you roll versus distance No, it has nothing to do with landing on one or six. Then why does it have to be a dice?

It doesn't. I wanted something that was the size that would challenge the dexterity of the toe. You know, I'm known for toe dexterity, not everyone is. But you know, the roll counts. If it goes off the road into the grass, it's gonna stop right away, so the key is to keep it straight. And I will tell you that the winning distance was...

Don't give it away, the Greg Cody Show, featuring Greg Cody, where you can find all of your results. Right, I'm not gonna say who won. I will say the winning distance was 29 yards. Wow. Or 87 feet. So much higher than Mondo jumped. You coulda used a rock so much higher than my jumped you can use the rock a rock no you can't well if it's the right size you know it has to be we want it big enough where the token small enough where the toe can pick it

up mm-hmm big enough you know you don't want to have it too big or too small you can't pick up a is no matter how much toe dexterity you have, you can't pick up a kernel of popcorn. You know, you can't pick up a little corn kernel. Likewise, you can't, a golf ball would be very challenging. I think I could pick up a golf ball with my toe, but you know, I have more toe dexterity than most people. Greg, I have great news for you.

I'm on the Dollar Tree website, and you can buy dye at the Dollar Tree. You can buy a 10 pack for $1.25. There's also, and this might interest you for next year's Cody Olympics, there's also a set of do-it-yourself wood dyes. So these are not numbered. They just are three different dye. They're squared with the rounded edges,

and maybe you wanna toss that in there. You could throw a Greg Cody Show logo on it. You could do something not necessarily numerical that's a great idea Billy I'm gonna make a little note all right you're taking a lot of you are writing a great deal down and what's rare is the tiny die okay when everybody thinks of dice they think of the size everyone's imagine. Yeah, standard size. The tiny die is the key. I bet you can't buy tiny dice online.

I bet you can. The question that I wanted to ask based on what you guys are saying is degree of difficulty on modernizing your shopping habits when you're as old as Greg Cody. Some of you in this room are declaring that it is hard to leave your home and know where to go if you needed to immediately get dye. Jessica said you just find it in the playing card section. What else is in this section?

What other toys are things that are, that you need to get someplace, where do you go to get it? Because when Roy says dollar store, you're gonna get it, but you better not hope for anything good because nothing costs a dollar anymore. That's a good point. You better not hope that you want dye

that will last for two or three weeks. They have some good stuff in there, I tell you they do that agreed I've been there recently to get some tattoos for a Prince Fielder nude shoot that I owe you guys I went in there to get an assortment of a dollar tree had the Prince Fielder tattoo yes they did what yes they did they had what I needed no no the odds that's right you walked into a dollar store. I did walk into a dollar site and there Yeah, I had security with me Did you buy the store

Surely this store can't cost a dollar. This is a bit of a stunner. I am guessing that I have been in a dollar store more recently than any of you. Does five below count? Don't get me started on that. I mean, I now wanna get you started on it. There's not an object in there below $5 anymore.

They have a whole VIP section with a velvet row back there that's 10 below. That's not the spirit of this store, friends. Five below. You can't find anything for a dollar, two dollars. Everything's $5 now. The below is absent in five below. Don't get me started.

I mean, that's kind of where we are with everything. The potential client, don't get me started. In America. What is less than a dollar? You can't get anything good for less than a dollar anymore. Can you can't get anything good for less than a dollar anymore you buy a pack of gum for less than a dollar limes one single lime no you can't one single let you get a single line maybe a potato what can you get a dollar there's food yeah I get that like the other day I'm in Publix I'm buying fresh ginger who uses

ginger right and if you do use it, I do. You're shaving off a little bit. So basically I buy the small, I snapped it in half, I buy a knuckle of ginger that was smaller than a golf ball. It ends up costing like, you know, 19 cents or something because it's like X a pound and when you buy a small piece like bang technically you can buy one grape in a store but who would do that you know just chuck it in your mouth and eat it move on I saw somebody doing that the other day I saw a woman stealing right in front of me stealing from the store and this is where I feel

like you know ratting her out to the manager something because on principle that I hate that when people eat you know she eating grapes right out of the bag she just bought and they weigh it you pay by the weight so she's stealing money with every grape she's munching it just walking down carefree you are so wrong you're why you snapping ginger in half? In the store! You did it in the store? Yeah, of course. Wow. You take as much ginger as you need. No, but you're not supposed to snap the ginger and then your dirty hands that have been throwing

dice with your feet. I didn't snap it with my feet. What are you doing snapping? You've got your dirty hands on somebody else's ginger, somebody else's! You know, first of all, okay, I'm touching the outside of the ginger. You don't eat the outside of the ginger. You cut the outside off and then grate the... I've never heard of somebody snapping ginger in half because they don't want to pay the 49 cents for the...

It's common! Who do we know that that works in produce at a supermarket column? Ask him. You think it's common? Put it on the poll, please, Juju at LeBretard show. Is it common to snap your ginger in half at the grocery store? Yes. Can we get someone in a produce department? I'm begging you. Can we just for anybody? I guess yes. Just ask etiquette questions. It's perfectly normal because like I say I'm not touching what you do This is a new and improved down levatar show with the Stugarts. Gamble on by DraftKings.

["The Stugats Theme Song"] A giddy Stugats just walked into the room saying I've got a top five list for you on athletes who can note dice. Greg Cody has, if you're just joining us, ruined a family heirloom in order to get you to support the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody, his wildly popular podcast. With, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with. Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. Well, you guys missed two of them before.

We should be up to $20 in fines if I was willing to respect you, but I will always call it The Greg Cody Show Featuring Greg Cody. Why? And it is the only place that I will not budge. Huh. Hmm. Why is that?

Weird. Disrespectful. I will not pay any more of the fines that come with this misrepresentation of you insisting that i promote your podcast and then you immediately check out on the remainder of the show as soon as that has been done lawyer only use this show as a as a vehicle to promote your things you have a book coming out now you're finally doing back in my days but you're doing fresh back in my days that were not even getting here mango publishing is getting

them here that book is now available for pre-order that book is finished so now Greg Cody that what's happened around here you may have noticed this is a very big show it has had a lot of success nationally and internationally and and is growing because we've got some big announcements coming later this month and what has happened around here is that mango publishing a local publishers realize there is a in books a publishing oil well around this show that everyone has noticed so ron

mcgill is written a book and greg cody is written two books while i fought and wrestled with stew gots is editor this weekend because stew gots is book that we're telling him is worth a lot of money is a good idea he has not done enough work on and he has not been prepared enough in the selling of this book greg kody has somehow stew gots prepared he's gonna he's gonna have two books out before

you have your book out that's being written for you This is not a competition with me and Greg Cody. We are friends. We root for each other Greg wrote a chapter in my book I am NOT rooting against Greg Cody I only want good things for the Cody family and likewise Yes, but Greg Cody who is being paid by this show to do back in my day is only doing them as a side hustle as Part of a project. He's done three fresh back in my days for his book so that you buy it correct how do people buy it pre-order they go to their local dice store the dollar store yeah you can just you know google amazon greg cody books it comes right up it's doing very

well based on pre-sales it's amazon's number one ranked new release in a category called history humor. Wow. Nice. My philosophy is that Amazon has so many minuscule categories that it allows them to promote a book as being number one new release in history and humor. It's also top ten in humor essays. So I think it's going to be pretty well received.

It's a handsome looking book. I'm seeing that here you can also pre-order at Target It says it comes out September 24th. Is that so? Yes. Wow. Two books in the time Stugatz. Is your book gonna come out Stugatz? Yeah, it's coming out late November I mean, I wrote a book. Have you? I did Marlin's top of the first in 1993 I did Marlin's top of the first in 1993. Dan, you're on the cover of this book. Were you aware of that?

Of which book? Of Back in My Day. Witty satire debunking the hype of new and improved by Greg Cody. Here you are right at the top. You have a big quote on it. He's on the cover of my book as well. I mean, forward by Dan Lebatard. How about that? Did you write this quote or did Greg just attribute a quote to you? No, Dan was kind enough to write the foreword. Very long foreword.

About a third of the book is Dan's foreword, but we appreciated every word of it. Can you possibly tell us the topics of the new back in my days? Not necessarily tell us, but maybe kind of whet our whistle with what it is that you've written these about? I can't remember what they are, to be honest with you. I think that I should reward the audience. There should be some sort of prize where we bribe Greg Cody based on how high they get

him on one of these lists with he has to read one of the fresh ones from his book if our listeners buy a certain number of books from him. I think one of the three new ones is space travel, if I remember correctly. That's one of those things that's gotten worse, right? What space travel? Yeah. Well, you have to buy the book to find out. That a boy!

That is so distinctly male, what Greg Cody just did. He was palpably moved by my forward in a way that he expressed to me. He's a bit repressed with how it is he expresses his emotion. He was choked up in expressing to me how he felt about the forward and all he does is describe it as publicly long right it was very I said it was generous you were very generous in what you wrote about me and about the book mostly about me which is what I really liked about it but it was long a bit wordy huh? same with mine

yeah i was a choked up i wanted to choke dan i don't think you read it i've got no proof that you actually read it i don't think you read it that was uh... billy that's what actually i'm pretty sure that's what happened we'll get back to that in a second pablo tori joins us i love you though and uh... pablo tori is uh... i'm telling you this podcast is unlike anything in the market it's got a lot of good word of mouth because he is pouring himself unreasonably into every episode that goes out it is a rare space

in this space where it's not just people talking but it's clearly got a lot of effort and work behind it pablo tori finds out has gotten a lot of effort and work behind it pablo torrey finds out has gotten a lot of good uh... reviews everywhere so i want to bring pablo and to talk about some of the news of the day so tim walls uh... is now comilas vice presidential candidate your thoughts there is that who you were rooting for you rooting for the astronaut i was rooting for whoever was going to win the election but this is the most

fun guy to root for. And so the choice was Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania, the electoral map, Nate Silver, they're all saying, go with that guy, you just wanna win the big blue states. And so I was like, okay, Josh Shapiro, cool. But Tim Waltz, man, if you have been falling asleep, sort of like paying attention to the VP race, he's the guy who has kicked off all of the new messaging,

which I find to be profoundly effective, about how the other side of this entire political argument now is just full of freaks. And so he uses the term weird, they're weird. And so Tim Walt is the guy who was most telling America, you get to make a choice here. It could be Donald Trump and JD Vance and this Suicide Squad style band of weirdos

who are trying to do all sorts of things, but you don't need to even belabor right now. Or you can pick the dude who is the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, who is a high school football coach, who looks like the guy you're in into at the grocery store. And so it's just this remarkable leaning into, hey, this is what America kind of could still be, the guy you're in to at the grocery store. And so it's just this remarkable leaning into, hey, this is what America kind of could still be,

a normal average dad who may or may not be, you know, grilling on the weekends, potentially barefoot like Greg Cody. Who uses those feet to roll dice on the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody and what he describes as the greatest of the family Olympic events. Towing, Dan. Yes, towing.

Excuse me. Towing. To Pablo's point, I did see Tim Waltz in a grocery store and he was breaking apart ginger. So if the Vice President of the United States can do that, that seals it for me. How do you feel, Pablo, when I tell you that Greg Cody walks into a store and instead of just Taking a piece of ginger there that would cost 69 cents He breaks it in half so that he can have his 19 cent version I have Greg as a guy who gets his hands on all sorts of produce

Because there are deals to be found there Greg am I right that you are you are handsy you are almost I? Won't say cancelably handsy without produce but i think it the drift the different trying to say and and and and that the best example of that is when the lemons uh... are not sold by the pound but it says two for a dollar for example you gotta find the the lemon that's almost the size of your fish you want to get your money's worth.

Fisting lemons. How are you doing avocados? How are you doing those? I used to have an avocado tree, and it dropped so many avocados I had to uproot it. So avocados I don't buy much of. Other than guacamole I have no use for avocados. But I'm not handsy. No, I respect produce. I look with my eyes, you know, I'm scouting out the big lemon. Generally speaking, once I pick up a lemon, I buy it. Now, if I pick up and turn it around and it's got a defect on the other side, I gently put it back. What am I going to do? But no, the ginger, as I was explaining to Dan, he didn't know. He thought you popped

a piece of ginger in your mouth like it was popcorn. You don't eat the outside of ginger. Yeah. That's what he said. Word for word. No, I don't. I said that's not what I said. I said that I use ginger and I'm offended, as was Roy, by what you did with that ginger. But now we've moved on to other subject matter. So you got rid of and killed your avocado tree for over producing for you yeah well what happened you know avocado trees are seasonal and and when it was bearing fruit it would drop so many that squirrels love avocado so it drops on the ground everyone knows that yeah and and I couldn't pick it up fast enough

like I just want to take you know how much does it take to make guacamole? I want to take three or four avocados in my house, let them ripen, make my avocado. Nobody makes avocado like me. It's really, really good. And I don't often brag about stuff like that. They don't make avocado. The tree does. But the squirrels are mauling my avocados. And once you can't use an avocado, it rots in the ground. You know, it you once you can't use an avocado rots in the ground You know it becomes you can't mow over because the pit is big and hard so it not just became a real nightmare Yeah became a nightmare Greg Cody you are owing to in cooking competitions around here

You say no one can make a guacamole like you does anyone want to challenge him Valerie makes I'm sure a better guacamole than you does anyone here else make guacamole like you does anyone want to challenge him Valerie makes I'm sure a better guacamole than you does anyone here else make guacamole or is Greg Cody gonna stand untested here I would take that challenge when he says I make a better art you're owing to in in your cooking challenges I know Roy beat me in Turkey and a well-earned victory by Roy his citrus turkey was fantastic what was the other competent lost to me in popcorn oh yeah and that was a little and a well-earned victory by Roy. His citrus turkey was fantastic. What was the other competition? You lost to me in popcorn.

Oh yeah, that was a little bit of a dicey verdict. You lost unanimously. No one voted for you. I mean, you know. No one voted for you. You're the Jordan Chiles of one minute, you're in fifth place, the next minute, somehow you're winning a ribbon.

I thought my popcorn was better. Okay, so you're gonna just overturn the vote that was unanimous what are you Trump well your your popcorn if I'm being honest it was so over season with tajin that it was I've never heard tajin uttered like a slur before Almost inedible again beat you for oh, huh, you know the judges were on the take You know, you're the guy going in a dollar store to save money so that you can like Flash a little money to the judges over here. We don't wait got i have a question for greg because i'm imagining uh... how tim waltz is going to instruct america but how he is most normal man in politics but greg kody's guide to grocery store etiquette

what else is on the list of stuff that greg does at a veteran dad who's been around the block a couple times always does if you know what is doing uh... i i like the idea that you had to malls uh... uh... grilling in their feet because i do that you know i i i i challenge myself to be safe in areas that don't seem safe you know when when i'm lighting uh...

uh... propane tank for example i have no problem using their feet for that you know and tell me the idea that the vice president also grills in their feet makes me like the guy why don't know if that was that literal or were you just saying we just being metaphorical their problems at a literal thing does he grill in their feet you know that i i i i believe that i was being reckless in speculating that uh... potential vice president tim waltz has prehensile toes that he is using to grill and operate on the pole

Please do you at lebatard show do you grill in bare feet because I don't think that's uniquely or distinctly American I think it's dumb and dangerous and dirty When you said Nate Silver earlier Are we trusting this information? Because I have found hard to trust anything that resembles polling information and Nate Silver was Simply the authority in these matters and then he wasn't yeah, I don't have anybody better than him Of course all of this is a complicated thing when you have to say Probability is what we're going for here

So Nate Silver has been wrong, but the probabilities in which he estimated his wrongness to be were actually more impressive than other people who were wrong. And so this is like the last thing Stugatz wants to hear, is people making excuses about how I'm wrong, but my math says that I'm more right than you. So I understand why he's a deeply unsympathetic character. I get all of that, but I believe then then I just don't know what else to turn to Other than the math of polling and Nate Silver is the best at it. So yeah, I go by him

What kind of offense did he run in high school? I mean, those are the questions we should be asking tells a lot about it, man Yeah, this is an episode for public Torrey finds out. I am NOT kidding. This has already been assigned this morning. Wow I'm watching the summer games and I can tell you that with all the blood sweat and tears that these athletes lose during competition, they need all the hydration that they can get.

Okay, here it is. Adultery. Oh, yeah. We are back. I've been waiting for this one. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the StuGats. I like that we're doing the whole like, hey, those guys are weird thing. But also from what I've read, Tim Walz has had a really good track record in Minnesota

for things like a child tax credit and he's free lunches, things like that. He's a former teacher, so he has a lot of like family geared policy. So is that also something that you think adds a boost to the Harris campaign that they're able to attach themselves to some of these policies? I think so. I mean, thank you, Jess, for reminding us that there's substance here somewhere. Yes. I just think when it comes to when it comes to how he's going to debate JD Vance, I don't think they're going to lean on that so much as they're gonna lean on hey Look at me look at him look at me again Which on a you know, which one of us which one of us potentially not wearing an eyeliner and also? having a history of flip-flopping and calling my

Preferred presidential nominee Adolf Hitler. Which one of us do you trust? I think they're going to simplify it so far down to the lowest common denominator in ways that make me hopeful because I've tried substance before, Jess, and it doesn't really work so well. I think they're just going to go for the casting call and I kind of get it. Thursdays and Fridays you've now mentioned Hitler a couple of times in your last few appearances you obsessed these These days what wouldn't say that although today's episode does involve Hitler And here's a spoiler alert it also involved. This is not the only tree based conversation You'll hear on the Dan Levy Tartan friends network today Greg Cody's avocado trees the trees that Adolf Hitler gave to gold medalists in the 1936 Berlin Games, the Nazi Olympics, led us to a story about Jesse Owens taking those trees home and planting them, unlike Greg Cody, he saved those trees.

And it's a story about why and how and what it says about America. And that is a tease that I believe successfully threads the needle of trying to sell you about listening to more Adolf Hitler. I think that that tease makes sure that no one here will listen to that. I'm pretty sure. Trees? I'm pretty sure you guys are anti-trees. I'm pretty sure you lost everyone in this room with all of that. You think you nailed the dismount and Jessica is saying she'll listen.

I will. Thank you, Jess. Substance, Greg? Although, Dan, you should be careful when you say someone is obsessed with Adolf Hitler. Yeah. That's dangerous. Especially someone that you employ.

Yeah, that's- You know what you're doing, right? Well, I thought I knew what I was doing. I was hoping that it- Journalistically obsessed. Journalistically obsessed, because I'm a journalist. Hard J. That is- Big J. That is correct. Journalistically obsessed. Because I'm a journalist. Hard J. That is correct.

Big J. Journalist. Before you get out of here, I've got some updates for you from some of the reporting that our experts have been doing on the Olympics. Billy has been covering trampoline. Greg Cody has been covering equestrian. So go ahead and Greg, give us whatever you've got here on equestrian. We've given out assignments to everyone. I've got break dancing. I think that, Roy, what did you have? Boxing and field hockey.

Do you have any reports, any updates? Not yet, I will have it on Friday. Okay, Jessica, what do you have? Did you wrestle beach volleyball? Beach volleyball, I believe I wrestled it away from Chris. Unfortunately, one of our women's beach volleyball teams lost yesterday, that the dress will be trolleyball volleyball i believe i wrestled it away from chris unfortunately are one of our women's beach volleyball teams lost yesterday but there is more today

uh... greg cody your are equestrian correspondent what you have for us i don't know the question just because i want to resource okay i love a question because it's a sport of old people the competitors are older on average than any other sport at the paris olympics and the the average age of the u.s. equestrian team forty four and a half even the horses are old we think of horses as as three or four year olds that we actually see in big races these equestrian horses tend to be fourteen fifteen sixteen years old equestrian in

france wrapped up just this morning in Versailles with Germany taking four of six gold medals and Great Britain the other two. U.S. rider Laura Kraut aboard her horse Balintinou had a chance this morning to win the first gold medal in Team USA Equestrian since 2008 but fell short in the individual jumping final. However, Kraut from Palm Beach along with teammates Carl Cook and McLean Ward took silver earlier in Paris in team jumping. Kraut at age 58 became the oldest US Olympic medalist in 72 years. The previous oldest was ever our duckie and who was fifty nine in hell sink in nineteen fifty two when he won gold in the hundred meter dash i'm just kidding it was in sailing

not reporting from paris on great cody all right it felt a bit uh... book reporting uh... but uh... i hope that billy uh... really well then the m e's written so i learned a lot he's written something. I learned a lot. He's written something that's not for his book. He wrote something fresh for us. Thank you. Billy, do you have a trampoline update for us? Women's trampoline, yes.

I had visuals prepared, but we can go here. We don't need to get to the visuals. So Dan, Olympic trampolining commenced and ended the other day. It is one of the most vicious Olympic sports because just like that, four years of training can go hold on a second I'm sorry. I think Patty Mills just did something Yeah, it's Serbia battled all the way back from down 20 to go up to with nine and a half seconds left

They go to Patty Mills to tie this ballgame Patty Mills rattles it in It's a tie ball game one point four seconds left a desperate heave from Serbia goes wide We are headed to overtime in the men's basketball quarterfinals. Were we allowed to do Olympics play-by-play like that? That was after the fact. This actually happened four minutes earlier. Already in OT. You're not allowed to do that. Anyways, Olympic trampoline. The event takes place in one day,

Dan, and the field starts at 16 and then is trimmed down to eight, all in one day. So you have the 16 compete, then you get the eight. Now, how do they trim them down? Great question, this is the way that it goes. Each athlete has two potential opportunities. If they don't like their score on the first one, they think they can improve the second one, and then they take the best of the two scores

as their final score. So in Olympic trampolining, you have 10 jumps. So you jump and then you have 10 different tricks that you can do, you're then judged based on those tricks, okay? Now, how did qualifying go? Great question, this is how qualifying finished. We're not gonna do all the qualifying, because 16 people is too many.

So I'm just gonna give you who advanced from qualifying. Yes, well you're much more prepared than Greg Cody was for this. Greg had a lot of stuff, he had a lot of info there. Yeah, but you're not a competition man. Was that Eberhard Duckie Kent? Was that a name Greg said at one point? Yeah, Ent. E-N-D-T. E-N-D-T.

Duckie Ent. Sounds fake. Oh. Not to him it wasn't. I'm, uh, I was remiss in not pointing out to you, Pablo. I wanted to throw to you the idea that Greg Cody and Stugatz think they should be able to decide who's American Whoa?

Whoa! That was Greg Cody who said it, I was just explaining what it is he said. That's a misrepresentation, falsehoods. Greg thinks everyone should compete for America. Mm-hmm. Well, his takes on Tajin now all add up, but Billy proceed, sorry. Uh, yes, sorry Billy. Alright, so on qualifying, first place went to Violeta Barzilowskaya. And she is one of the 35 athletes that is competing

from Belarus and from Russia who are not allowed to compete under their own country. So she is competing under AIN. And she finished first place in qualifying with a score of 56.340. And second place. It looks fun, trampoline looks fun and dangerous and amazing.

Speaking of popcorn, yeah. I'm just gonna tell you how they did in the final round because if I go through all the names and the qualifying and I give you the scores you're gonna be tired of this. Why would you do that? Yeah, why would you? Well because I need you guys, I'm trying to paint a picture here.

Did you know there's two trampolines and they can choose which apparatus to jump on so they have their warmups and they can choose which of the two trampolines they want to compete on. Now, from my observation, it seemed like they all competed on the exact same trampoline, so I don't know why they needed a second trampoline, but there was two trampolines.

Like a baseball glove, they want it worn in. They want the worn in trampoline. I suppose, I was wondering maybe if the springs are tighter on one trampoline than the other, you get more bounce, but I think it's just a preference thing. Probably I should have the answers for you since yeah, I'm the one reporting on it. Shouldn't you know this?

You're the expert, I would think one reporting on it. Yeah, you're the expert. I would think that would be good information to have. Anyway, so in second place in qualifying with a score of 56.20, we had Yu Yicheng. The Chi got a score of 56.270. In third place, we had Zhu Zhiyun from China with a score of 55.950. In fourth place, again competing for AIN,

we had Anzela Bladlekva with a score of 55.640. Then in fifth place, we had what appeared to be the sentimental favorite, Brawny Page, or Brownie Page from Great Britain with a score of 54.970. Now, as you all know, as fans of trampolining, Brownie Paige previously has a bronze and a silver medal, but she does not have the gold medal yet. So we're trying to see if she can get the old triple crown

in medals as they call it in trampolining. In sixth place we had Mori Hikaru from Japan with a score of 54.740. Well I'm just giving you a recap of the qualifying version. Yeah, this is a short, I didn't wanna give you the 16. Oh, there you go, there you go, look, look, right there. Pablo, thank you for being on with us. Pablo may be interested in this. Pablo wants to find out who won trampolini. Triple crown.

Pablo, thank you for being on with us, we appreciate it. Bella Rose, huh? I really regret. In seventh place, Matty Davidson from New Zealand. Now remember Pablo, Pablo if you're still here, remember, their scores in qualifying. Can you just fade yourself out? Do me a favor.

Their scores in qualifying don't carry over to the final. Fade yourself out. So they just make it into the camp. As you keep talking, just fade yourself. Do your job. In eighth place, we have Sophie Anne Method from Canada. Howdy folks, we're in August now. It's the dog days of summer, but the summer tours are still crescendoing and really consequential
