And with available all-wheel drive, you can handle your to-do list with total confidence. Start your build at chevrolet.ca.com. I know that some people are well-past, exhausted, me talking about my fascinations with streaming and how you find things.
Starting point is 00:00:56 But today is a big day for the show. and for Boog's charity. And so when I tell the audience, go find Benetti's game. Detroit is playing Tampa Bay. Go find Boog's game. The Cubs are playing, and he broadcast Cubs games,
Starting point is 00:01:11 if you want to hear the broadcast infiltrated by Cody catchphrases, because they've already started doing it. Benetti did how many last night because he was just warming up. But I'm telling you, I'm scared of how much Benetti's going to cost me. And the reason I went $100 with him
Starting point is 00:01:26 is because he's capable of doing all 40 in like four innings because he's a crazy person. Boog respects baseball too much. He's only going to do three or four here, so I'll give him $500. Benetti's matching every time he does it, so we've got some sort of cost control. So the issue here with the Benetti, when there is four that he played yesterday that he said, two have some controversy behind them. What?
Starting point is 00:01:48 Yeah. Wait a minute, but Boog's had some controversy behind you. I know. Boog's only done one, Roy, can you get me Boogs, please? Boog has only done one of these. and what was supposed to be, Boog's rate is $500 per catchphrase, $1,000 if he sings it.
Starting point is 00:02:06 And He-Haw-3 was $1,000 because with the Badae up, it is sung. But Boog ended up getting not $1,000 because he did it this way. You know, the plate umpire will drop his signature like, he-haw-3 or whatever. See, or whatever disrespects the bidet up. It sure does. It does.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Roy, don't. Don't look at me that way it does. Or whatever. He's scared of it. He's not respecting the game enough. He's doing or whatever is him being self-conscious of I'm doing a little joke and I'm a little scared. And I've disrespected sacred baseball. Yeah, it's an insult to the catchphrase countdown.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Look, play it again so people can hear him leak confidence at the end of that and not give you the bidet of, give you an or whatever. You know, the plate umpire will drop his signature like, he-haw, three or whatever. Put it on the poll, did Boog disrespect the Badey up? What's the controversy around the first, the two of the, four, two of the Benetti's are clean. Two of the Benetti's will recognize laugh at and love. I'm concerned now that I listen to Boogs and you guys are criticizing that one the way that you are, that all of these are going to get criticized. An ability to squeeze these catchphrases into a broadcast with any sort of natural cadence is a feat.
Starting point is 00:03:28 and to me, I have no controversy around any of them. But Tony was yelling to me. Jeremy, this is the top of the food chain on baseball broadcasting. Not now, ever. These two guys go in the ever category of this. It may be hard for us to do. Be hard for somebody who doesn't know anything about a construction business to run a construction business. Who would do that?
Starting point is 00:03:51 That'd be silly. But these are the best we've got. like these two guys, and so you're telling me I'm going to be unimpressed by the four of these? Well, Cody, how will Cody feel about the four of these? I think that, well, Cody loves everything that involves him whatsoever. So he's going to love all four. For me, there's at least two of them that we're all going to agree. Well done.
Starting point is 00:04:14 The other two, we'll see. I have a hard line, though, when it comes to people not representing correctly, what is my intellectual property. You thought the Badae up was disrespected, correct? When he says, He-Haw 3, I think you said that was worth 500, and then you heard it, and you knocked it down to 400. What was supposed to be worth $1,000, you're saying, is now just $400. Boog cost, booge cost people with ALS $600. I think we can say that.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Yes, he did. You know, the only solution here really is to, pardon me, He-Haw 3 or whatever. This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast. This is a big day today, and I do wonder, is it going to be easy for our audience to find raise tigers and whoever it is the Cubs are playing today? Because Boog and Jason Benetti are going to pollute their broadcasts with a bunch of Greg Cody catchphrases. We do not know how many. As we continue to raise money today, Project Mainstreet.org.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Today is Lou Gehrig Day. And at one o'clock, Boog Shambi has a live auction that goes up. up with a number of great prizes. And so we're going to lead you up to all of that because Boug is trying to break a record in the amount of money that he makes as baseball actually genuflex today on behalf of this cause that Bougchambi. It's very important to Bukhambi. You can imagine, right? Not hard to imagine seeing a friend, someone you love, trapped inside their body and then walking them home all the way. You can imagine that would change you to watch that. And Boug has poured his heart into this in a way.
Starting point is 00:05:58 that's substantive and has created a giant charity, something that really does important work. So we're going to help him with that today. And he's going to help us, you know, the way he does or whatever. He's going to probably disrespect us in our show because baseball is very important and it's very serious. And it's the national pastime. And so to get a he-haw three on a broadcast is an achievement. That golden voice, a Hall of Fame baseball broadcasting voice. So it would be disrespectful to this show if he doesn't infiltrate properly catchphrases on a day he's trying to raise money for maybe the worst disease of humankind.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Correct. Okay. I think the issue is that it has to be done in the way that the author intended, right? The letter of the law. If Greg Cody says it a certain way, they got to say it a certain way. That's good, Tony. Greg will rule and tell us whether it was done sufficiently or not, correct? That's what we will do.
Starting point is 00:06:56 because I understand what it is that Zaz is doing, and you know where he just led me, right? Where he just led me is I started saying to myself, really, do we want to do the show where we compare whether it is the worst of the diseases? Oh, yeah, no, I know you already went there. Shout out to everyone in the comments section. That is already trying to come up with worst diseases.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Glad your life has led you here. That is my opinion. I do think it's worse. Okay, it may indeed be the worst, but I didn't think it appropriate. I'm sort of the managing editor here. It's a competition. It is a horrible thing because you're fully aware of what your body cannot do. it is torturous. There is a Steve Gleason documentary that made me cry basically for the entire film.
Starting point is 00:07:34 This is a horrific affliction. Okay. For those of you who do not know, because, yes, it's horrific. And just watching my brother die the last 10 months, sort of body, you know, rotting, decomposing, needing, you know, three doctors to hold them up to go to the bathroom, didn't seem as bad to me as what this disease is at the end. because you're just trapped inside. And it seems, if we're going to do comparison shopping, and I don't feel like we should,
Starting point is 00:08:03 but whatever Parkinson's is seems truly, truly terrible in terms of how slowly your entire body and soul get eaten up. But to be trapped inside your own body does seem to be a special kind of horrific. And so that's what we're bringing awareness to today and attention to because Boog watched that with one of his best friends. It crushed him and it moved him
Starting point is 00:08:25 and it changed him being around the entirety of that experience. I also want to get to seismic things in football. But is it malaria? Is it the Spanish flu? Is it rabies? Or is it bubonic plague? Greg, you've been around covering all of these. Your thoughts.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I don't like the dirty demon of debate throwing it to Greg. I want Tony, Jeremy, Sondon. somebody else, get me another angel, okay? If we're gonna, if we're gonna do this. What, the angels are gonna espouse the virtues? Hi, Dan, it's me. Of ALS. Just get me another angel.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Hi, Dan. Good to be here as the only one who really believes in this around here. What were we talking about? I was too busy doing other stuff. No, see, that's not how they, no. No, no. We don't talk about death and sickness up here, Dan. I don't know if you know that or not.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Everything's perfect. Talk about a no-win topic. to discuss is the worst as he's doing it that way. That's why he's doing it that way. There's no way to do it. You can't, I mean, somebody got, some poor fellow out there has bone cancer and he's going, what about me? You just can't win this argument.
Starting point is 00:09:40 He wanted to just make that joke. Yeah, a lot of people down here with that. I mean, there are so many great diseases throughout time. AOLS though, Mount Rushmore. let's map it out. Zaz. You know what's funniest about that, Mike? What's funniest about that is not you throwing it to Zaz
Starting point is 00:10:04 instead of having an angel just naturally argue. It's that they've put up and preview again and again. My inner monologue phase, because they can't tell the difference between that and the dirty demon in debate. They're distracting me. I'm not even staring at the same heart performance. No, they just heard this.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah. Roy, do you have, the weakest of the Benetti's. I don't want, I want this to escalate. I've been gone for a while. I want this to escalate. I want the weakest of the Benetti's first. Is the weakest also the most controversial?
Starting point is 00:10:38 Would you guys say that the weakest is the most controversial? Jeremy, you listened to them. You scouted them out as the weakest, the most controversial? Does there other controversies and other ones? I think that ultimately each one of these has its own merit. I would just start in chronological order personally. Because I think the first one has... I was asking...
Starting point is 00:10:58 I know you do a different show. I want to do the show I want to do. And so what I want is the weakest of these. Roy, you decide because I'd like to know... I just want... I want to escalate here. I believe he was workshopping an angel. Why would you...
Starting point is 00:11:15 I totally saw what happened. I just need what I need here. And I didn't want... I know that none of you three were listening to me. I know. I mean, they were trying to produce on the fly. I know. Maybe we should cut some slack.
Starting point is 00:11:29 This is not the, no, no, this is not. No, no, this is not. No, this is the inner monologue. What are you doing? Roy, play what you believe to be the weakest one. So tomorrow, visit a participating Arby's location and get a free small order of early prize. Who won? You all did. First pitch, foul the way. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Who won? Not even close. Who won? I see what you mean. He just went who won. You can't do that. Yeah, that's it. You can't do that?
Starting point is 00:11:58 It's a desiccation. He worked it into an Arby's read. He went, who won? It was like hidden. No, it is. It's too hidden. Look, listen again. So the catchphrase, what number is, who won?
Starting point is 00:12:09 I think it was number 29. I'm doing that from memory. Wow. If you got that right. Who won was number 26. Oh, that. It was so close. Damn.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I mean, you want to update it now? Do you want to update it? I mean, I can. I'm not done ripping his version of who won. Okay, but, okay. the who won, this is not sufficient. He's got to sing it because these are worth $500. So if he does it, $500 if he does it,
Starting point is 00:12:35 and $1,000 if he does any of the ones that are meant to be sung. Did he try to get a half rate there by not singing a phrase that it needs to be sung? What happened here? So tomorrow, visit a participating RB's location and get a free small order of early fries. Who won? You all did. First pitch, foul away.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Now, to his defense, I don't think he knows the Keynes that you say it. This is a production problem. Somebody should have told him that he had to say it that way. It's not just, yes. I mean, he needed to be working with somebody. Yes, you can't just send him phrases. We've ruined this already. So tomorrow, visit a participating RB's location and get a free small order of early prize.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Who won? You all did. Discretion. All right. All right. All right. Secretion. While it is an egregious production error that nobody said to Benetti that he had to sing who won, it is a production feat.
Starting point is 00:13:36 That you guys left in all the ambient sound around a baseball game that had the mention of curly fries in it instead of just going to the phrase. Because that's one of the funniest things that's going to happen in these broadcasts today's. You're going to hear Benetti and Boot be exceptional at their jobs. Paint a tapestry. and then they're going to stick something in the middle of what they're doing, because they're just practicing here. Today's game day. They have not learned how to do this.
Starting point is 00:14:02 We need to get in Benetti's ear, and we need to tell them which of these need to be sung. But give me the second of these, and let's see. What is that one worth, by the way? $100 for a phrase, $200 for a sung phrase. According to Greg Cody, what's that worth? $50. Okay, so let's get the tally going now.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Let's get video. Please produce for me some sort of graphic board that allows me to keep a tally during the show today, and let's do this sort of telethon style. The telethon is dead, right? It's not even endangered. No, you bring it back. It's extinct, correct?
Starting point is 00:14:33 The telethon is, okay. All right, so you guys keep this tally right, because I don't trust this, because already, see, this is what happens with my money. Already, we are at $450, and look at what the tally is here. It's $2,100 on the graphic. Like, I'm not going to keep track of this, and you guys can't be trusted to keep track of this.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Predating to me. All right. You guys need to update this 1940 Microsoft graphic here so that it can tabulate correctly. On my chicken scratch, I've got Jason Benetti with a $50 for who won, according to Greg. All right, Tony, I'm putting you in charge of this. Thank you. You know, you're a hustler, and I'm afraid some of this money is going to get stolen. If Benetti or Boog want to give me a call, I will give them a private tutorial. They're very busy today.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Booge doesn't have any time today. But today is the biggest day of Boog's year. Okay. You know, get his priorities straight. You know, he's got a penalty. What about cholera? Proceed with the heliphone. $400 for the first phrase is agreed upon.
Starting point is 00:15:38 The he-ha, the flawed he-ha. It was flawed. What is the max on? A thousand. Greg, I keep explaining this to the audience, hoping you'll hear it. A thousand is the maximum. I would give him... Me maximum.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I would give him 400 for that. game. And it's $50 for Benetti. How about this one? What is this one worth? AJ preaches this since he's been here. We can't worry about that. We have to concentrate on today's game. Let's do whatever we can and fire up for this game. And it certainly seems like the Tigers have done that. Yeah, I mean, you're not going to be able to, like, in the middle of a losing streak,
Starting point is 00:16:14 go to AA and play AA teams. Like, you're not going to scrant. I actually thought he was setting up. You're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmel. I was getting excited. Yeah. Okay. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
Starting point is 00:16:32 We've gotten a lot better at talking about our mental health than we used to, right? People are more open about it, conversations are happening, and that's a really good thing. But asking for help? That still seems to be the hard part. Better Helps, 26th State of Stigma Report, surveyed 2,000 Americans. And if it revealed that 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise, yet 74% say society discourages people from doing so. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Most of us believe it's the right thing to do, but we still worry about what other people might think. Maybe the best way to change that is to make those conversations a little bit more normal. BetterHelp supports fully licensed therapists in the U.S. and they handle the matching process for you.

Starting point is 00:17:43 Baseball is on every night. The left turns are turning, and every group chat starts with the same question. What are we watching? This is the time of year where my TV barely gets a break, and I find myself reaching for that beautiful white can of ice cold Miller Light. And I'm going to invite the boys over, no doubt. And everybody knows about the Miller Time MVP.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Every group has one. The person that gets there early saves a table, that's an MVP. The person who brings a cooler, extra ice, and enough Miller Light for everybody, MVP. The person who makes sure nobody watches the biggest match of the summer alone, that's a Miller Time MVP. Holy cow, folks, just realize this. I'm a Miller Time MVP. Legendary moments start with a Miller Light, and they're made even better by a Miller Time MVP, such as Mois.
Starting point is 00:18:29 We all have that one friend who makes every game better. Now it's time to give them their moment. Head over to any of Miller Light's social media pages to learn more about being a Miller Time MVP. You can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller Time.

You don't remember the idea for a home runoff? I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no, the home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:20:11 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 name. You know, all that jazz, you know, you don't got to do that. You're just a generic call. Up and away.
Starting point is 00:20:26 That kind of swing, that kind of thing. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. The screen got cut off a little bit. I didn't hear the entire word. That's it. It's just, that's where it ended. There was, that's, that's, what's it worth? And he didn't say it in the way that you're supposed to.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Again, yet again. He made an effort, though. Is that controversial? Is that? Yeah, of course he's making an effort. We're paying him for it. He's making an effort. He forced Scranton in there.
Starting point is 00:20:57 But he didn't say it the way that you got to say it. It was close enough for me. Was it? Yeah. It wasn't for me. I heard an effort in Scranton that I did not hear in who won. Yeah, it's controversial because, again, and maybe that's on us. I don't think he knows, say, scrim.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I don't think he just thinks that he's supposed to pick him. We need to get on the phone with him before this game. In fact, I suggest you guys call him. So I suggest we try to get him on today, and I suggest we reprimand him for those two and try to get doovers or refunds or something. Like, I don't know how this works. So what did we give Benetti for this last one for the Scrant? But he's saying full. Look, Cody decides here, but I don't, I think that's, that was terrible.
Starting point is 00:21:37 No, no. You're not going to be able to, like, in the middle of a losing streak, go to AA and play AA teams. Like, you're not going to Scrant. I heard effort there. Okay. The max is 100, right? Yes. That's an $85 scrant.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Oh, dear God. That's how we're going to start doing this. Okay. He said it, 85. You're going to put video to, you're going to make this. This is going to have cents in it by the end, right? It's going to have, it's like he's going to give $44 and $33. And some Bitcoin.
Starting point is 00:22:03 There's no sense to this. No. None whatsoever. I was just gearing up for another Greg Cody. First now. We just had something happened that has never happened before. the history of the show, which is Roy played the Kauai Leonard laugh at the exact same time I was playing the Loser Game Show sound. So one of us is wrong and you guys got to decide who's
Starting point is 00:22:29 right because we played the same game. Who won? Greg or me? I can't vote for myself. Who won? You all did. You all bang. He's right about that. That's another Greg Cody. First down. Wow. Thank you, Billy. Play the third of the Benetti sounds. This is going to become messy mat. Play the third of the...
Starting point is 00:22:59 This is going to cost me so much. As Torque will stand in, oh, boy. Just a sinker that just gets away up and in. It just looks extremely bad after you've hitting four home runs. As always, driver comfort is paramount. And the Tigers have two on with one out here in the fifth. Flawlessly done. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 00:23:20 That's good. That's good. Fabulous. I'm going to give him a bonus. I'm going to give him 110 for that. It was very, very nicely done. Okay. All right, again, project mainstreet.org is where it is that you go. And they're going to be doing this all day.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And can I get you guys to stop producing the angel and the demon long enough to tell me how easy it is to get the raised tigers? game for people because I think Benetti's going to do this 25 times today. And I think it's going to make you want to watch Ray's Tigers. You should have wanted to watch last night. Tigers 10, 9, my beloved rays are as good as the Yankees. And they're not spending any money. They're better than the Yankees. MLB.tv.

Starting point is 00:24:27 Is there not a weight? If you have team over... I'm not going to last this show. This is just... It's too much. As always, driver comfort is paramount. This is a dream coming true. The only thing better would be
Starting point is 00:24:46 if Vin Scully came back from the dead and said, Very good! The only thing... The only thing. Who won. Who won? But you're not going to Scrant. You don't sing who won.
Starting point is 00:25:01 You don't sing it. You just say, who won? You don't go who won. I mean, it's like two different phrases. We'll get to A.J. Brown and Miles Garrett in a second. Get the catchphrases ready. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm always ready.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Are you going to be okay? Because when we make you laugh, it's when you cough, and that's when the problematic breathing starts, and now this is a sprint. It's a sprint. So are you going to be okay? Yeah, I'm ready. You're sure you're.
Starting point is 00:25:24 ready? I've never been readier. Hell unready. Go ahead. When I was looking at you and you were listening to Driver Comfort is Paramount, the last two weeks you've been tickled like I have rarely seen. That is ground zero of your narcissism. To hear
Starting point is 00:25:40 in a baseball game a phrase that you created that's ridiculous and has no place in the game. As always, driver comfort is paramount. In a classic baseball announcer voice. I can't make him it's going to be hard. You will make him laugh. I will bet I'll add another
Starting point is 00:25:56 thousand dollars to this that every time you hit him with that particular sound during the show, we should be on his face because it's going to be like tickling him. As always, driver comfort is paramount. He's never going to get tired of it. I'm promising you. It's perfect. Okay, let's see. Is it as good as this one?
Starting point is 00:26:13 Yandi Diaz's double. He slipped out there on the warning track in left field and then on this one coming in, hard to get the first out, dragon kicking up all kinds of dust. That is the very definition of catch-as-catch can. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:32 I mean, it didn't make any sense his use of it. He worked it in flawlessly now. He did, but it was a little bit of a non-sequitur. I don't know. A non-sequitur? It was a great catch in the outfield. They're describing this great catch, and he says, that's the definition. That is the very definition of catch-catch-catch can.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Okay, you know what? I'm coming around. All right. You didn't know what the play was. because you were too busy in the narcissism of driver comforts. Look, I know this human being, okay? Yes. And this is as happy as he gets right here.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Why? Because me, Maximum. It is all about me. We are tickling and delighting him. It was well done in context. I take away my non-sequent. No, let's play it again and just understand that you're listening to him describing, or his partner is describing a great catch being made.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yandi Diaz's double. slipped out there on the warning track in left field and then on this one coming in hard to get the first out dragging kicking up all kinds of dust that is the very definition of catch as catch can yeah no that's brilliant it's optimum uh... 125 dollars wow one twenty
Starting point is 00:27:43 yeah i'm a big tipper when it comes well wait a minute what we're tipping now yeah that's a big that deserves a tip a tip your money wait a minute though wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute and Nellie Dugie's Diner. Just I'm, I'm okay for charity. I am okay for charity with both tipping and bonuses. I'm also okay with you getting a little reckless with my money. What I'm not okay with is driver comfort is paramount was the best.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Like unquestionably will tickle you all show long. You gave it $10. You didn't love the catch and you gave it $25. And by the time we end up in hour two or three, you're going to be giving $200 tips. You never know. Mumpch? The dirty demon of debate did not want to step on the catchphrase.
Starting point is 00:28:44 He's never been left silent. The dirty demon of debate has never been speechless. Well, like, we went five minutes about sing-songy and getting the right tone, and he just, like, no-sold his, like, key catchphrase. He said, well, you never know. What? Because he didn't know to do it. He did that by accident.
Starting point is 00:29:03 That's the accidental comedy that is Greg Cody. He didn't do it because he didn't know he was saying it. Yes or no? Maybe. You never know. You never know. I gave you the... You never know.
Starting point is 00:29:14 He's trying really hard. And no matter what he does, I think it's a great effort. Who's this false prophet? One day I'll see him. You don't think you're not an angel. Get out of here. You belong with the other guy. Hey.
Starting point is 00:29:29 We'll get to Miles Garrett and AJ Brown in a second. I have the tabulation for Greg Cody. He gave $50 for who won? He gave $85 for Scranton. $110 for Driver Comfort is paramount. $125 for Catch's Catch Can. That's $370. Also, $410 because of $10% fee for me.
Starting point is 00:29:48 So $4.10 day. So this is going to raise a lot of money, I hope, with the audience for what Boog is doing today. Project Mainstreet.org is where you go. and it is a day-long effort. All of baseball is doing it, and we are kicking it off because there is not yet any baseball being played today. Now, you rounded up on that 10% fee, right?
Starting point is 00:30:10 11% fee. We do a credit card processing fee also. Tony, you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks. I know it well. It's usually when I show up. Everybody goes crazy. Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it,
Starting point is 00:30:23 but it's because Tony usually walks in with Quarevon. I'm walking like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quervo is a thing that turns, hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it.
Starting point is 00:30:36 But again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it quervo. Keep it quervo, baby. So my schedule gets a little chaotic this time of year. Most days, I'm here at the Metal Arc Studios and then I'm heading straight to another broadcasting or hosting gig. And especially in this Miami heat, it's insane. and not the Miami heat, but the Miami summer heat.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I've been trying to keep at least one healthy habit consistent, and that's why I've been bringing Kachava's new travel packs with me. It's one less thing I have to worry about, which is great because I'm already spending enough mental energy, figuring out what shirt is acceptable to wear on camera or hosting or on the show that I'm not going to get made fun of for. So I just throw one in my backpack, and I've got an all-in-one nutrition shake ready whenever I need it.
Starting point is 00:31:27 It's packed with plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, greens, probiotics, electrolytes, and more. So even when my schedule is all over the place, I know I'm getting something good in. It tastes great. It's easy to take anywhere, and there are no fillers. No nonsense. Take your daily ritual with you.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Go to cachava.com and use code Dan for 15% off your first order. That's 15% off your first order. That's Kachava, K-A-V-A-V-com, code Dan. The Hulu original series Furious is coming to Disney Plus, starring Emmy Rossum. Furious follows FBI agent Alice Black on the hunt for a mysterious and calculating serial killer. Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine, the line between right and wrong begins to blur. Don't miss the three-episode premiere of the Hulu original series Furious on July 27th,
Starting point is 00:32:27 Only on Hulu on Disney Plus. Don Lebertard. Is there back in my day? There is, actually. Are you not going to tell anyone? What? Wait a minute. You guys.
Starting point is 00:32:38 It's a Tuesday. It's a Tuesday. Stugats. Here's your guide. Greg Cody. We're back in my day. Okay, here it is. Okay, here it is.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Sorry. Adultery. Oh. We are back. We're waiting for this one. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Zaslow, you have worked with Boog for a long time, and he gave you your first start in this career,
Starting point is 00:33:27 and when I tell you that this is the closest thing that Boog has to his heart, that this is the thing that he moves mountains to get the famous, powerful people to help with something that generally not a whole thing. whole lot of people can help with. And when you're talking about ALS, you are talking about, I don't know how many of you have gone through the gauntlet that is grief.
Starting point is 00:33:52 But this one, the watching of a friend die like this will change someone at their core to watch the soul extinguished. And so people who are living with this day to day, caretakers for these people, they need money they need help because they need help doing all of the things as their body becomes a prison. So we're asking you to support project mainstreet.org. But I just, before we get to Cody's catchphrases, I did want to ask Zaz just about his relationship with Boog because I want people to understand the humanity behind this project. Yeah, it's, I remember it was, it was a little more than 20 years ago. It was pretty early on when I started working with Boog where he had to take some time away
Starting point is 00:34:37 because he had to go to his friend's funeral. And, you know, he was, this was his childhood friend, and they noticed that their friend was starting to, you know, behave weird, and he got diagnosed with ALS. And, of course, it's a terrible, terrible way to see someone die. And so he created Project Main Street with his friends to honor their friend. And every, you know, for the first few years, I would go up, and we'd go to the benefit, you know, playing a softball game.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Mike Lowell is my double play in-field teammate. And they raise a lot of money, not for finding a cure for ALS. There is no cure. God willing, there will be one day. But it's to raise money to make people who are living with ALS be a little bit more comfortable. Because as you could imagine, it's incredibly expensive, you know, the chair and all of it. So there's some really great items here, Project Mainstreet.org. For instance, you could bid on tickets to a sold-out Noah Khan concert at Wrigley Field.
Starting point is 00:35:35 you can call play by play with Boog on Markey Sports Network. Boog has become friends with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam signed guitar, poster, all kinds of memorabilia. So you go to projectmanethrie.org and there's some really, or you could also bid at cubs.com slash ALS auction. And there's some really incredible items. And this is a really important cause. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:58 So someone we love, this is their life's work. Okay. When I tell you what you will feel and see today is that Boog spends the entire year. collecting the power of baseball, all of it. Do this for me, do this for me, do this for me. These guys get asked for everything all the time, and everyone's always asking him for something. This is the day Boog goes all over baseball,
Starting point is 00:36:20 every relationship he has ever made, and it's like, I need you to do this for charity. I need you to do this for charity. And this is his biggest day, and I don't know that the day gets more attention anywhere than it does today with baseball. So help us, help Boog, with Project Mainstreet.org
Starting point is 00:36:37 we'll be giving you more information as the show goes on. But let's do your catchphrases here, and we will get to A.J. Brown and Miles Garrett. All right. The catchphrase countdown. Number 60. I'm Fullerton. Vern Fuller. 59. Where's my click? Click. 58. Hey, butterfinger. 57. Punt. 56. Scranton. 55. I'm busy in a one-arm paper hanger.

Starting point is 00:37:40 33, it's like a packing house in here. 32. What you learn? 31. He-ha, three, but a yap. 30. I'm not going to take a quiz. 29.

Starting point is 00:38:20 Hold on, this is a new one. Hold on. I think, based on just the comedy and music of that, that I want to put a money ball price for charity. going to get you guys to help me with how much this year before. If either of these two princes of broadcasting sneaks in, you're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmaly. I don't think they can do it.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And I'm asking you, what should I pay? Is that the money ball? It's the white whale. No, I told Boog, if he works at in, I'll give $1,000. All right. Well, okay, what can we get our audience to pledge here if either one of them can work in some? But there have to be, we've got to put rules on it. Like, we got it's got to be worked in totally nonsensically.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Like, it's got to be comedically well-gunned. Yeah. We're going to break down 1990s AOC East. I've got my window. Yeah. Oh, I've been waiting for this one. We are now in the top 20. The Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody.
Starting point is 00:39:21 With. Is where all of these break. All of the exclusive, the exclusive, well, it's not an exclusive home, but the exclusive home of the first place you hear. these catchphrases is always the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. Yeah, thank you. And so we are now at number 19. I think this has been such a successful joke that this should have been sponsored and someone should be sponsoring the top 10. Like I really think that this has been something that is hard to do, a joke that works for months. And we're not even in the top 10 yet. And he might
Starting point is 00:39:55 that others. Yeah, it could grow. There's a rumor. Yeah, it could become a top 70. Is it? I'm my control. Our source is reporting. Sources are reporting speculation.
Starting point is 00:40:08 It's totally in your control. Not really. Literally. No, it's a tsunami. You know, it's headed to shore. As always, driver comfort is paramount. Nice hat, asshole. Yeah, no, I dare a broadcaster.
Starting point is 00:40:20 So that one, that one, that one is not possible, right? that one, no, that's a $10,000. Anything's possible. That's, okay, that's $100,000. Like what? To get, so you're saying that how much would I have to get to pay to make it worth to Benetti or Boog to say nice hat asshole on the broadcast? Match the FCC fine. Well, they're not subject to that, but they are subject to their own punishment.
Starting point is 00:40:46 That's not something that goes over the air on a Major League Baseball broadcasts. Maybe A-Hole? We'll take it. Yes. Half credit. Let it be known. We will take A-hole. No, but what should the money ball be?
Starting point is 00:40:59 What? What? I think Bernie Parmally. I think you got that right. That's going to be tough. Yeah, that, it would be unbelievable. I mean, don't go shower and sung. Like, don't go.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Look, I'd like to listen to the whole list again just to see what you guys would vote as the most impossible done correctly. Because you got to get them to sing it too, because you saw how unsatisfying Scranton and who one were, because they've got to be done correctly or you dishonor them. I love the cadence of you're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie Pormley and that voice, but it is so nonsensical for any broadcast, even an NFL one, to work that in in 2026 that I think we have to give whoever executes this some grace. It really would be just as difficult to get it into an NFL broadcast. Am I wearing you out?
Starting point is 00:41:48 Should we go to the bullpen and have Roy find other times you've read these catchphrases so that we don't kill you by the post-game show today? No, I prefer to do them live. Okay, so you want to do it? All right, so you guys... Limited fake Spiro, Adidas, would like to give it a try. I got a game. You're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmali and the Jigs.
Starting point is 00:42:08 When he is done with this, we're all going to write down one of these. Your money ball. Choose your money balls here. I want to see if we've got more that are the same that are different. You're going to go to Buffalo with Mo Allie Cox. All right, ready? Yes. Number 60.
Starting point is 00:42:24 I'm Fuller and Vern Fuller. 59. Where's my click, click? 58. Hey, Butterfinger. Up. 57. Punt.
Starting point is 00:42:32 56. Scranton. 55. I'm busy in a one-arm paper hanger. 54. Georgia. Georgia. 53.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I'm the guy that 52, ball on the jack. 51. Hey, hey, where the monkeys, baby. 50. Thank you, Billy. 49. I love him like a pet. 48.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Who made it a salad? 47. We're rolling now. Oh, huh? 46, your brain beating me. 45, let's go states. 44, driver comfort is Paramount. 43, dummy up. Say bop.
Starting point is 00:43:02 42, catches, catch, can. 41, doesn't make it right. 40, so on and so forth. 39. Very good. 38, the Little League theory. 37, nice hat, asshole. 36, the others, they all learn from me.
Starting point is 00:43:16 35, don't go showering to try to please me. 34, look at that jerk. 33, it's like a part. packing house in here. 32. What you learn? 31. He-ha, three. Bada'iop. 30. I'm not going to take a quiz. 29. Sassafras. 28. Would we break a window? 27. Hello. 26. Who won? 25. Trailers for sale rent. 24. You got to eat a peck of dirt before you die. 23. Three words. We are the Lobos. 22. You're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie. Pomerly? Rappi-Cack, 20, another crisis solved.
Starting point is 00:43:56 19. Nice chatting with you. Thank you for doing that, old friend. And I say this sincerely, as someone who heard your son yesterday talking about the Greg Cote Olympics that are coming up, and he will not allow you to run 40-yard dash because you're doing it against Uncle Dick. But I will, yes. We will. So I would like at some point here to play an hour of Greg Cody just reading those so that you guys can see how much worse the hello and who won get at the end because of how tired he isn't because he can't keep his stamina up.
Starting point is 00:44:31 And if we were to do 640 today when they start raised tigers, you live broadcasting opposite that you just doing your catchphrases for an hour, by the end of that, what you will sound like is broken. Yeah. I will sound like me at the end of a 40-yard dash against my brother. All right. I want to go around the room here. Tony, what's your money ball here?
Starting point is 00:44:58 The impossible shot, the one that would be worth $2,000. I'm going to lean to number 23, and that's three words. We are the Lobos. I love that. Okay, let's find out which would make him happiest because that should be the money ball. So, Jeremy, what would you vote for here among the best? The money ball. It's definitely you're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie Palmer.
Starting point is 00:45:21 I think that has a good chance, Mike. That's yours as well. Co-sign. Okay. Roy, do you have one here? Hey, hey, what a monkeys, baby. I'm with you on this. Because you've got to sing that and get them in trouble. Like, you get, the Beatles are litigious.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Well, those are the monkeys. The monkeys. That's a pretty bad mistake. Davey Jones and that's a pretty bad mistake. It's like the worst mistake in show history. Construction company guys. The Beatles are litigious. The judge would be so confused if the Beatles were suing over that.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Hey, no, we're the monkeys, man. What's the fine on that? It's a bad mistake. Just five bucks, man. It's been a long year. Hollywood change. I got you covered. You're? Rider strike.
Starting point is 00:46:04 That's the tip. Plain in the sky, pandemic. Construction company, man. Hard hat boy. Hard hat boy. I like that. Let's do this. Dance running a construction company right now. There isn't a worst person in humid.
Starting point is 00:46:22 to be heading one up. There are people running the construction company that would not say that I'm running the construction company. My wife's father was a very big and good general contractor in town, and he left an estate.
Starting point is 00:46:42 It is a very good estate, yes. But it has a business, and I don't know anything about construction. What? That's crazy. Wow, I can't believe it. And so what's happening daily to me is a little confusing because Mike likes to joke. Okay, look, I heard yesterday in the meeting Jeremy called the delicate flower. And then I thought to myself, because you guys said this this morning,
Starting point is 00:47:07 there's no one less qualified to be doing anything with a construction company than you, Dan. And I'm just staring at Jeremy. And I'm like, they think I'm worse at this than Jeremy would be? Think about how bad that is for you. Do you get me one of them no-show jobs? I get Hillary Corbyn on that. Yeah. How does the foreman look at you when you're like trying to force Stephen Colbert into the conversation? That was not meant for air.
Starting point is 00:47:36 The Colbert part? What is your money balls at? Who make a salad? Oh, wow. I believe I'm reeling right now, not from the construction company thing, from the mistake of confusing the Beatles and the monkeys. That I have, I've been disoriented since. then of how tragic a mistake that is because my mind's not right. Fabulous.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Going for two when you're up by five. Switching the zone when man isn't working. Oh, and building your new stadium in the state your team actually plays in. In sports, some things just make sense. You know what else makes sense? Drinking Yeagermeister shots. Ice cold. Drinking it any other way would be like,
Starting point is 00:48:24 punting on first down or letting your worst hitter bat first or like going for two when you're down three with a second to go it wouldn't make any sense so don't let the team down when it comes to yeagermeister drink it cold or don't drink it at all yagermeister damn that's cold drink responsibly yagermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume imported by massed yagermeister u.s white plains new york
