Starting point is 00:01:34 Greg Cody, we're doing four hours live. They're not actually four hours every day this week. They're 38 minutes, 40 minutes, but we are trying to do the entirety of the show live for you today. And I don't feel great about everything happening with the puppets. It bums me out. But I think I can lift the mood around here just a little bit because those of you who have been with us, for a really long time. 20 years, 790, know what this is because you've grown from a kid to parent to maybe grandparent on our 20 years of time listening to us. You know the name Sid Rosenberg.
Starting point is 00:02:19 It is embedded in the early days of Miami radio when I would say that Miami Sports Radio was among the hottest things going in the country, I would say, the lineup that we built at 790. Best in the country at a time. Yes. Was it when Sid was on there? Was it before? Sid was on in middays. The best 790 lineup there's ever been was when?
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yes, yes. I think it's Sid in the morning and then after Sid was Sedano and then Boog and then you. That lineup there, I think, rivaled any lineup in the country. And Kevin Rogers with Brandon Goose. Oh, K, Raj. And so Sid Rosenberg, I didn't know much about him. I, Sid Rosenberg had a lot of drug troubles and I had at least one meaningful, spiritual, loving moment with Sid Rosenberg, at least in part because of just, I'm going to say how generally hurt he seemed. And yeah, I just, I had a moving moment with Sid Rosenberg who seemed troubled the entire time I knew him.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Like, just deeply troubled, grabbed by addiction and always in a state of sort of, recovery. So it's been sad a little bit, right, to just watch as the country has become what the country's become. Everything that's happened to Sid that includes now, him being just, like, really red. Like, just, I don't know how to say it other than whatever the fury is that Royals within him. That's purple, Dan. Well, I just, I don't know what's happening here on this video, but it was shocking. I can't believe that's not AI. I can't believe that that's real in any way. Roy, you're just laughing, but I really question with great sincerity. What happened here?
Starting point is 00:04:03 I don't, this is not, this is not, he's not, is he okay? Is he well? Is he not sick, right? That is a new clear shade of plum. Yeah, what sickness would make you plumb? That, that can't be real. No, no, it's very real. Oh, it's real.
Starting point is 00:04:17 That's the mortal version of the devil, that guy, what I'm looking at right now. I need to explain to the audio audience. This is a color of skin I have simply never seen on a. human being no matter how burn they are. Look, I've seen Zagaki. I saw Zagaki and it's sports radio hall of fame stuff. Zagaki got a sun tan, sunburned so bad wearing sunglasses that he did a game and his eyes are the area around his eyes were clearly white and the rest of him was broiled and charred and red. But it wasn't this. This is miles beyond this. It is not even close. If you can close your eyes and picture the Zagaki picture with the redness
Starting point is 00:04:52 around his face. Now take that 47 times more. This isn't a summer. And that's what Sid looks like. This is the color of his skin. It looks like he's holding his breath and he held his breath for like five hours. All right. I need to explain to the audio audience that does not know what this looks like. This is a shade of purple I have never seen on a human being before. This is realms beyond red. This is not red.
Starting point is 00:05:12 He looks like he's coming out of makeup. He looks a bit like hellboy. All right. So, Dan, so you've given us two people that he looks like. We did put together a couple of compilations to let you know, all right, does he look like this? Oh, you did this. Okay. We have a couple of them.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Look, help, the answer's hellboy. You're not going to do better than hellboy. I think I have a couple. I think I have a couple better. I do. Let's put up the first one here. Yeah. We got Sid looking very purple. I mean, look at that skin color. Okay, this is not a normal thing that we have here.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I just need to explain yet more to the audio audience that this is not a skin color that any human being has ever had that hasn't been painted on them. So this is our first one. This is Vision from Marvel. Oh, Dan. Remember Wanda Vision. Look at that. Vision. No, but he's so much more purple than vision.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Like this is... Okay, so you want to go purple. All right. Let's bring up the next one. Oh, Thanos, Dan. Thanos is purple as all get out. Sid looks very similar to Thanos. Guys, Thanos.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Sid is inevitable. Thanos is purple. Okay, how about this? Thanos is light skin purple. You're right, he's right. He's right. How about this? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:19 A little bit more purple? Barney? Barney. Purple enough or not purple enough? It's better. Okay. Barney is better than any others you have shown me, but I'm saying Hellboy,
Starting point is 00:06:33 and I think he's more purple than Hellboy. I've never seen a human being this purple who's not coming out of makeup. We have another purple person that was very famous a couple of years ago with the Mets. Can we pull up Grimmis? Grimmis? Now we're getting closer.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Now we're getting closer. Look at the resemblance. Okay, what has happened to Sid Rosenberg? Mike Ryan, I see you sitting out this conversation. Why is he sitting out? I see Mike has faded to the back of the room. He doesn't want into these waters with the political nonsense that is Sid Rosenberg. Mike doesn't like talking about politics.
Starting point is 00:07:09 I don't take him seriously. I mean, he spoke at the Republican National Convention. Yeah, but that's typically not a political forum, Dan. Dana White's done it for three straight RNCs, and he's not political. Zaz, I will ask you again, and Cody, I will ask you again. What happened here? Is Sid okay? Well, he's never been okay.
Starting point is 00:07:29 No, but what I mean is, if he legit, if that's not doctored, if that's actually the way he looked, you don't want to say something and then find out that he's actually sick. This is what I'm going to accuse Sid Rosenberg of right now, publicly even though I too fear the political waters that bring the Tea Party and Breitbart and Schitts day and their army of SIDS. Sid Rosenberg has been charred from the inside as his hatred for all the things that America has become as immigrants overrun ice and has mushroom cloud exploded from inside on the politics of rage trying to protect his country from like the Levitard show in the afternoons. Those boys are awfully Latin. I believe that Sid Rosenberg has been charred from the inside.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Do you have a better theory than me? It's not yet gotten to totally burnt. It's just in the purple stage. It was red in various phases. It was pink before that, but we've just gotten to purple. It's a purple stage of hatred in this country, somewhere between white and black in the racial divisions of this country. It's dark purple. So you're saying the internal temperature is climbing so fast.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yes, a lava. A volcano of hate from inside that has purple lava, not white, not black, not red, sort of green. There's a lot of green in there. We've seen people like their skin color chain. Like, we saw Michael Jackson, we saw Sammy Sosa. I've never seen this. We've never seen this color. No, Sammy Sosa was unprecedented.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Look, Michael Jackson was strange. Sammy Sosa was another kind of strange. Sammy Sosa was in the same realm where everybody just assumed he was trying to look wider. He goes the other way. Sid in the modern times goes dark purple. Like whatever this spectrum is of ridiculous race colors on the stupidity of what we do around, oh, this person's way, this person's back. This one's purple.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I have another one for you. I'm going to bring up Hellboy to see what you think of. Sid and Hellboy. See, this is closer, but even more purple than Hellboy. Look, come on, guys, do I have this wrong? Never in the history of Earth have you ever seen this on this shade of skin on anyone. Yes or no? How about Red Skull from the Marvel Universe?
Starting point is 00:09:30 Are we closer there? Red skull? Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. There it is. That one is good. That one is also charred from the inside. I think the red one might be the stage of Sid that there is when the last of the hatred eats him up from the inside.
Starting point is 00:09:44 That might be the next stage on the spectrum. of cancerous racial opinions. Did I ruin it? I don't know. We're looking around. Mike, what you think? I don't have any thoughts here. Nobody's got thoughts on it.
Starting point is 00:09:59 It's a little dangerous. What's dangerous? No human should be that color. I think someone speaking to the J-posts would not like to be compared to red skull, given what you know about the background of the character. Zaz? You and I are going to rule here?
Starting point is 00:10:13 I think it's all right. I want to go back a second and just stew in some of Zaslow's shame for a second, just real quick. Zaz, what happened with what it is we were trying to do with the Rich Paul stuff? Oh, man, like, Dan said during the break, Zazzo, did you get everything off your chest you want to about Rich Paul? I was like, no, and I don't want to anymore. I'd like to move on because I'm not happy at all the way that that went. Yeah, no, I performed very poorly there.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I have a lot more things to say about, I have more clips. and I want them to go in the garbage. No, I want the Rich Paul segment that you want. As soon as you become full-time, you're flatly refusing to do the segment that you wanted to do. Now that I'm full-time and I have an actual deal, I can say no to things. And you want to know if I have more to say about Rich Paul and I do not. So whatever your criticism of Rich Paul was going to be, we did it so poorly in execution. It makes you retreat from whatever your opinion was on Rich Ball.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Not even close to meaningful now. All right. So the World Cup is nine days away, okay? And I really do want to get, we are about to head into a slow time in the sports year. And it's my favorite time when it's slow because we can do what we want and we don't need too much sports. However, in the middle of this is the biggest sporting event there is. And so it doesn't actually get to be slow because it kind of ends up being both the hockey and the NBA playoffs. in one because all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:11:46 all of our Latin friends are engaged in a way that they usually aren't. What's that Columbia Portugal ticket going to go for when we're talking about Nick's tickets and what it is that's happening in right now in New York, what you said 4,500 to get in the building on Wednesday night? For game three, yeah, 4,500.
Starting point is 00:12:03 What's about to engulf south Florida and Greg, you can speak to the sum. I think we're about to have the most expensive ticket we've ever had in town because of what the World Cup in this city with Columbia involved, What Colombia, everything over the last 30 years that has lived here or in Columbia wants to be inside of that stadium. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And, you know, people are so aghast at how much they're charging for World Cup tickets. Well, demand equals dollar amount, and the demand is great. And so the dollar amount is great. I don't know why everybody's up in arms that you have to pay a couple of thousand dollars to get a seat at a World Cup game that's that level. Colombia in Miami. I think it's because they've net, and Mike can crack me, if I'm wrong, they've never been this expensive, right? That's right.
Starting point is 00:12:52 The World Cup happens in countries, and there are countries who are playing at that venue that are super popular, and they've never been priced like this. But to explain to America, lest you not know, Colombia playing in Miami a World Cup game is the biggest thing in this city, given our Colombian representation. You can always tell when a new business

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, 2026 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.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Think about it. 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. Better Help supports fully licensed therapists in the U.S., and they handle the matching process for you.

Starting point is 00:15:36 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. Every group has one.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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 realized this. I'm a Miller Time MVP! Legendary moments start with a Miller Lite, and they're made even better by a Miller Time MVP,
Starting point is 00:16:20 such as Mois. 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 Lite'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.

Starting point is 00:17:24 which is at the end of this month. It's Columbia and Portugal. $3,300 get in price. And Portugal also has one of the best players in the world. So if you want to take your family of four, you're Colombian, you've got two kids, you want to go see your country, $13,000. Where you can fly to Guadalajara like I
Starting point is 00:17:42 am to watch and play Congo. Granted, not an opponent of Portugal. stature or skill, but it's much cheaper to do it that way. Oh, but Zaz, what I would say to you about this that I do find interesting, if you are to shake your head and say, yeah, expensive tickets to expensive games, well, the people who get priced out, though, when Venezuela won the World Baseball Classic, that's the World Baseball Classic, that's not the World Cup.
Starting point is 00:18:10 When they won the World Baseball Classic, the number of Venezuelans that I saw in our city who were just overcome with joy at sports being the best possible thing that they can feel in their hearts, whatever you think Knicks fans are feeling now. They were so happy with the World Baseball Classic. Columbia playing in this city and some people being able to go to the games with their kids and stuff, that ticket being priced out for poor people is a real shame because every poor person also wants to be in that game. And them getting this expense, it makes it so that people who aren't as big of fans, as the one who are the biggest fans have absolutely no access whatsoever to the biggest game this town has seen for Colombian soccer.
Starting point is 00:18:56 The problem is the primary market and the fact that if you do want to go to this event and do things the right way, which is tickets go on sale at blank time. I'm going to get by my computer. I'm going to try like hell. You've got no shot. No shot. And if you do get through, the face value is an absurd amount of money, the likes of which we have never seen for World Cup. and then the secondary market's going to do its thing.
Starting point is 00:19:21 You don't have a shot because all the scalpers and the bots are going for the tickets, and then it's going to the secondary market, and it's a damn shame because this is the world's most accessible game. And for some context, comparing the Columbia game to other games that are taking place down here. Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, getting price for that is $400. Sure. Which is reasonable for a World Cup match, in my opinion. Oh, but reasonable guys, give me just historic context. Greg, you are a columnist, but you are a columnist who, even while working at the Miami Herald, doesn't speak very often on behalf of Hispanic people.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Columbia playing a World Cup game in Miami compares to what in terms of the number of people. Columbia playing Copa America final against Argentina in Miami, and we all saw how that went. What is headed our way? My larger point on talking about the World Cup and what is headed to Miami, I've told you guys before that Miami's dressed up as a big international city. It's a spring break town and a spring break state. It's just covered in the drug money. So when Formula One comes here, it's funny. Like, because our, yeah, no, we're not big time.
Starting point is 00:20:34 We look big time. But what's happened in this city over the last few years is a lot of artificial money comes into the city and makes it a real weird place economically where the richest of the world. rich are here, all of them, because of the homestead exemptions and everything else. The second homes are all here. And you can't live here as a poor person anymore. It's just not, it's not possible. Hiale is the fifth least affordable, or, yeah, least affordable housing market. The Colombians who generationally came through this town, cleaning the houses, however
Starting point is 00:21:08 it is that immigrants come here and make a population and a life for themselves, that is such a passionate fan base about that one. sport. The regional identity I was telling you about with Venezuela and the World Baseball Classic. There's nothing like this the way those people feel about their team as an identity where patriotism is the best thing in sports.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Where the Escobar brothers, you can get shot for allowing an own goal because the Colombians are so crazy about their soccer and also proud of their Pablo Escobar ties. The Escobars weren't related. That would have been
Starting point is 00:21:43 even more complex. I thought the 30 for 30 was the Eskabar brothers. The two Eskabars. Oh, my bet. That was a good one. Yeah, that was one of the best, Dan, that's another $5. I'm very excited for, I mean, the World Cup, obviously, it's the biggest sporting event on the planet, and it's not remotely close. You could argue it's the biggest event period that the planet has to offer. But we are literally positioned across the street from the fan fest. And we are going to feel in South Florida, certainly in Miami-Dade County like we are in a different country. I mean, many people would argue listening to this and it already feels that way, but there is going to be so much national pride. You are going
Starting point is 00:22:26 to feel when you drive here to work in a couple of weeks like you are playing a road game. There is going to be yellow shirts everywhere. The Colombian people down here are especially proud. It is an infectious energy. I said before you to botched the poll question that it is almost a requirement in Miami, you need to have a yellow Colombian national team jersey with Hamas on the back just because a couple of times every couple of years, they throw the absolute best party in sports. It is infectious, it is vibrant, it is the best things about national pride and sports meeting together. Cannot wait for that energy so much so that I am seeking it out. I know it's going to be here in Miami. I'm glad to be near it. I'm going to be near it. I'm going
Starting point is 00:23:15 New Mexico to be near it some more. I'm not Colombian. I just love their passion for the game. I'd argue Juju nailed that poll question. Zaslow, the things that Mike is talking about here when you consider Colombian culture and what it's like for proud people to be proudest of their team than they are of anything else. I don't think we have anything like that here.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Like whatever it is that the U.S. Olympic hockey team did, it wasn't our only sport. Like whatever is a region's attachment to just one thing that they get export to the world, they're known for their cocaine because of who Pablo Escobar was, not one of the brothers. Columbia as an entity has more pride in this thing than anything. It is the biggest thing. And I just don't think that people know what's about to ransack Miami. We don't have the infrastructure for this. Wait, the poor people are going to be climbing all over each other to try and be around whatever is happening with that team, wherever it's happening in hotels and buses like the insanity.
Starting point is 00:24:25 You think the World Baseball Classic was crazy? That's how those countries feel about their baseball. Columbia feels about soccer and only soccer that way. I think people will get an idea of what's coming to Miami because when Columbia faced Messi in a Copa America final, It was one of the more infamous stadium disasters of our lifetime. We climbed through the air vents like diehard? That's exactly right. Who knows who's still there, trapped.
Starting point is 00:24:53 But this is not Copa America. This is the World Cup. This is Cristiano Ronaldo and a really good Portugal team. That's one of the favored sides against Columbia, who plays a style that can keep them in any game. And for whatever reason, when those guys put on that yellow shirt, They all play so much better. If you're talking about to infrastructure, that's what I'm here for.
Starting point is 00:25:19 The police presence. Good timing, puppet. The police presence in that game is going to be unprecedented. And what amazes me is that Colombia is that passionate, despite not being a good team. They're not an elite side. They're outside the top ten in betting odds. I mean, nobody's favorite. Yeah, the market prices favor of some of the European teams.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And Brazil has a more favorable market price, but if you follow Brazil during qualification, it's not the same Brazil. They made some mistakes when it came to the qualification process. I do have to defend the puppet, which I'm not exactly thrilled about, because Jeremy is operating the puppet from under the table. And here, when we do nonverbal communication, we wave a hand. Puppet's hand was waving. Calling for ball.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Mike Ryan is bringing back morally abhorrent. It was a very popular podcast. during the last World Cup, there are all sorts of things around these games that are questionable and corrupt, and nobody cares when the Colombians are climbing over ice to get into the arena. Yeah, four years ago, when we came up with that name for the Qatar World Cup, I didn't think that the name would be held over four years later, but it's still tracks. Yeah, still seems morally abhorrent. FIFA, the United States, all of it.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Greg Cody, I am told, and I'm sorry it has taken this long to get to this, I am told that every four years, very big, not quite as big, perhaps, as how Colombians feel about being able to see their team in Miami. But every four years, you pick your favorite World Cup team. And you pick the Greg Cody podcast featuring Greg Cody, sponsors that team outside of America. It's not let's go states here. It's your giving your allegiances and your interest to another country. Has that announcement been made yet? Every four years, very, how long has the podcast been around?
Starting point is 00:27:16 We were born in 2020. This is our sixth year. So this is the second time doing this for the World Cup, and everybody waits around to find out who is the team Greg Cody is supporting. Who is the team that is not the United States that the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody is supporting this year? Yeah, we have a major reveal on my latest episode, but I'll share it with you here. The official World Cup team of the Greg Cody Show podcast is, Coat de Bois, aka the Ivory Coast, French-speaking. I think they're ranked like 35th of 48 teams.
Starting point is 00:27:52 They're a sneaky underdog. They're not at the bottom, but they're nobody's favorite. They're in a tough group with Germany. They've never been out of the group stage, Coet de Bois. That's C-O-T-E, by the way. Spelled Cody from where I'm looking. It is, Cody DeVois. Great Coast.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Is that the reason? If we're being honest here where self-absorption resides and narcissism is king, is this your favorite team just because their first name looks like it's Cody? That may be a factor. I'm not saying that's not a factor. Another factor is their best player. His first name is Wilfred. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Wilford, I think, is his last name, is Yaha. Okay. So I think you're referring to Wilfred Zaha, Zaha, who did not make the national team roster for the World Cup. I was actually going to ask you your thoughts about it because... Good expertise. You just spotted a Wilfred and said that's my team. So there's my name and there's my Wilfred.
Starting point is 00:28:52 There's my analysis. First of all, it's an outrage that he did not make that team with a name like Wilford, who is my father's name and my son's middle name. Wilfred Zaha, he was a big favorite to make that roster. It's an outrage that he didn't. You'll be happy to know there's a different, Wilfred. What's his name? Wilfried Singo.
Starting point is 00:29:11 You know about that Wilfried Singo? I do. No, you don't. Yeah, of course. No. Greg. Greg. Greg.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Craig. Greg Devois, ladies and gentlemen. Greg. He's right about that. And that's another. Greg Cody. First out. Hooah.
Starting point is 00:29:27 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. 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,
Starting point is 00:29:53 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. It's packed with plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 It's easy to take anywhere, and there are no fillers. No nonsense. Take your daily ritual with you. 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-com, code Dan. Tony, you know that moment at a party or at a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks? I know it well. It's usually when I show up. Everybody goes crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Quervo. 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. But again, it's the Quervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting in holl. Keep it quervo. Keep it quervo, baby. The Hulu original series Furious is coming to Disney Plus, starring Emmy Rossum.
Starting point is 00:31:20 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, only on Hulu on Disney Plus. Don Lebertard. He has been great. He's made great hires.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I said all. We've said all. He said all. Everyone is said everything. First I heard of you this, Greg. Everything you're saying. It's all been said. Okay, you've got to understand one thing.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Stugats. Me maximum. That's right. Until I say it, it hasn't been said. Boom. Okay, understand that. You're the mayor. Until I say it hasn't been said.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Me maximum. Me maximum. Me maximum. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. I just, I want to get it. I want to go dive deep, deep into the narcissisms before we get back to sporty things. Coct de Waugh. Sporty adventures.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Yeah. If I'm giving you 100% of the pie chart on all of the thinking, research, emotions that went into picking the team that you were going to pick as your favorite to celebrate the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. With, right? How much of the percentage? out of 100% is you chose that team just because their first name looks like Cody. I don't want to quantify it, you know. Not here to take a quiz. I'm not here to take a quiz.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I mean, come on. Well, you didn't know Wilford was on the team, and, you know, I feel like you are here to take a quiz. If you're identifying a favorite and the research you've done doesn't even do us the courtesy of knowing whether a guy's on the team. I know this. I know Cote d'Ivois is the world's leading exporter of cocoa beans. that I know. Who won? You all did. Who won? No, we didn't all win.
Starting point is 00:33:21 We all lost and he wins. That's what happens around here all the time. What happens is I'm caught, what did you find me for? I got $5 out. I'm asking Roy, where's the fine bucket? I don't know what I'm fine for. He made Pablo Escobar brothers with a Columbia National team player that he might have been buying the murder of. Instead of the two Escobars, I made it. Real Cane and Abel situation. The Escobar brothers. Okay, I got a name wrong and that's a $5 fine. What is the tally at on where it is I have to pay for things before this gets really expensive?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Project Mainstreet.org. At 1 o'clock, Boog has a live auction, and there's a lot of good stuff to buy there, and you should be a part of what he's doing. It's a big part of his life and his day-to-day. Can we get Benetti on? I meant to ask you guys to reach out to Benetti to make sure that we can give him some coaching and some criticism on whatever it is. We feel like he got wrong with his first.
Starting point is 00:34:14 batch of donations here that means I'm in for $880 so far. That's not so bad. It's a little bit more than that because it's another 80 on top of that because the booge money off for me and then the Greg Cody money for me. Processing fee. Processing fee. 10% or 11% or 11% credit card processing fee? Would you like to round that up for charity? That's how they get you. 12% then. They do at the grocery store. I just say no. Yeah, I say no. I help plenty of charity. I do. Not this time, on my own time. So you've noticed this. So now when people ask you for this particular charity, do you get less charitable because you're like, no, this is a grift.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I'll keep my change. Thank you. I don't like that you're trying to take my credit card pennies and put it round up here to grift your game up so that Bezos gets it. It's the human fund. Money for people. Yeah, I do that too. It's called name, image, and likeness.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Why are we putting that on cuck t-shirts for Zaslow? And he's not getting anything out of it, including business. Nothing. Including business, which would seem to be like if I believe our audience, should support two good causes today. I believe it should buy cuck shirts to just support Zaz because it's an inside joke. That's what you're buying.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Be the first. Plus, you're letting the world know. No one would do that. It's just a bad marketing campaign. Someone calls you a cuck old. Wait a second. Look at their shirt. I don't think anyone's going to wear the word cuck on the front of their shirt.
Starting point is 00:35:37 With my face. Well, that makes it worse. That does make it. It is also helpful to know that it is not, you know, a personal message. It is strictly for a Jonathan Zaslow type of message. Who's buying that? Who are we selling to? I don't understand our business strategy.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Selling to non-cucks. I don't think you understand what you're doing. The majority of people are non-cucks. So you've got a massive audience that are non-cugs. You have a couple cugs who wouldn't wear the shirt. You could sell this shirt to someone that truly believes Zaz when he claims that. Can you get for me, Roy, Jason Benetti, warming up. right? This was calisthenics for both
Starting point is 00:36:14 Boog and Jason Benetti. These are five catchphrases, but I believe today is the day that they're going to give us our payoff. Jeremy, I am concerned, though. I don't want to force anybody to pay $30 to watch this because they've got to go to MLB.com to actually have a sports adjacent
Starting point is 00:36:30 appearance. Well, tough shit. I'd like to... If that's how you're watching out of market game. Would you like to tout piracy? You want me to pirate the stream? I got a guy. I mean, MLBXRettings has been around for like 30 years. I know, Tony, I want you to help our audience. Look, nobody else is going to be any kind of interested tonight in Tiger's Raise, except for me. I'll find the Rays wherever it is they're playing. I love having
Starting point is 00:36:51 that. Awesome baseball. Yeah, but I've got the Rays and just the Rays. I don't need the rest of baseball. The Rays are what it is that I'm watching. Do you subscribe to Rays.com. TV and not Marlins. I told you, I told Valerie, I had this conversation with you guys. I told Valerie, when she asked me, what do you want, what don't you want? Because we got way too many things here. I'm like, whatever we got, we got raised baseball. Just make sure we got raised baseball. Whatever else
Starting point is 00:37:17 happens, I don't care. Just raise baseball. And, oh, make sure also red zone. Make sure Red zone. Raise Red Zone. Anything else? Those must have? Yeah, because it's not even the same network. It used to be there was a network that had the heat and everybody. Nope.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Al-a-cart. Raise baseball. Well, I got to imagine some people found that confusing. Can Greg Cody find a Ray's or a Marlins game on his television? Can you find a Marlins game on your television? As a matter of fact, I asked my wife over the weekend, Sunday, I think it was, what channel are the Marlins on? And I think she told me MLB TV. So I punch in the MLB TV channel, and it's four, it was like the baseball red zone. It's like four shows happening at once, including the Marlins game.
Starting point is 00:38:09 That's right. So you have MLB TV, but you don't use it. You've never seen it before? I have. I just don't keep track of what number, you know, 2.13. You watch a lot of Marlins games. I don't know. I watch a fair amount. You know, I mean, you know, they go from winning four in a row to losing five in a row. That's Marlins. Marlinsing.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I mean, you know, it's a frustrating team to watch. How'd they do last night? I think they won. Who won? Who won? The Marlins did. They did. They beat the Nationals. I'm with Tony on this, though. It does have to be confusing to a generation of people to wake up at, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:48 stumble out of bed at noon on a Tuesday. Whatever generation of people is stumbling out of bed on noon on a Tuesday and being like, so the Cardinals are playing at 1.15 today, a baseball game, at 1.15 on a Tuesday. On a Wednesday, why are they doing that? It's just a bad business. Who's this for? Like those cuck shirts? Like the cuck shirts.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I'm at work. What am I going to take? Hey, boss, I've got to take a 30-minute lunchman to go grab a half-inning of a game. I'll be back at work. Perhaps it's for people that want to download the new Draft King's sports app. Now live in all 50 states. Imagine wearing that shirt and you run into someone who you haven't seen in a long time. What are you wearing?
Starting point is 00:39:33 Is this in reference to your Roman rain shirt? I believe the day game is the day game in baseball and Wednesday. While practical matters are just for the team to be able to travel and not get into the next city at 4 o'clock in the morning, because these schedules are a bit crazy. What a happy, I'm going to say, monetary coincidence for baseball, because they didn't know that baseball was going to get into the business of money moving on games in a way. that was socially accepted, and so baseball now has a time slot to himself. That's what football's trying to grab all the time slots.
Starting point is 00:40:13 It's like, give us Wednesday. We want all the nights. Baseball's like, no, we'll take these day games. We'll carve up our little piece to where nobody, everybody who wants any kind of baseball fun and action or any kind of sports action, I can check in on a Wednesday at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. That is true. I mean, that's a fun part to look at it.
Starting point is 00:40:30 But to go to the games, again, there's 11 people in the stands. Like, everybody must look around. But it's not about going to the games. Mike likes having the park to himself. Like, it's lovely to see Major League Baseball. Described a dream. It is, I mean, when you think of the Marlins always playing in empty stadiums, that is a nice ballpark.
Starting point is 00:40:47 They're playing Major League Baseball. The Major League Baseball is good, whether it's, you know, good enough to win more games than they lose. Probably not. But you have all of the place to yourself. It's like an amusement park for just you and 3,000 people on a Wednesday afternoon. I like when there's no one there. I get my man spread on.
Starting point is 00:41:04 And you have a super. super handsome, talented in-game host. Make that a T-shirt, too, to see if it sells less. Manspread? Josh Appel. Get my man spread on. You're supposed to do that when everybody's there, Zaz. Stuck your game up.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Get my man spread on. Zaslo needs a lot of room. He needs a cavernous stadium with 40 seats empty. He likes to be comfortable when he's watching. So that he could get his man spread on, horrifying to everybody. I don't want to be anywhere near his mansper. How is shit? worry, I'll be off in the corner.
Starting point is 00:41:35 How is Sid Rosenberg being purple, not the worst thing we've envisioned today? The worst thing we envision today is a defensive line that features Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett. How was that allowed to happen? I want to shake my fist at somebody. Why do they get all the good players? Smarter? What do you mean that was available to everybody? Apparently not.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Just like Luca. Wasn't available to everybody. Since when? Why didn't anybody tell us? Did this slip through the cracks when the NFL network and the ESPN information people had to get all their information tight? You got that Miles Garrett thing? Yeah, I got the Miles Garrett thing. No worries. Do you think David Samson could be on that defensive line and it would still be the best defensive line in football? You know what's more horrifying?
Starting point is 00:42:23 That manspread looking like Sid Rosenberg. Guys, your mansper, looks like Sid Rosenberg? Well, if he doesn't manspread. Mike Ryan just asked the best question that we've asked around here in football since how many yards would shopping cart with a mannequin arm have at the end of the season if Peyton Manning was running your offense. We all agreed it would be Dallas Clark.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Moelly Cox. 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.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Ice cold. Drinking it any other way would be like, 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 yagermeister 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
