When you're feeling the heat,
Circle K makes your day.
This is the Dan Levator Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Let me ask you something.
When is the summer over? When the kids start having their photos posted on IG because they are going back to school. There you go.
I agree. I think summer is over when kids go back to school.
Greg, do kids go to school in the summertime?
They do not.
I can tell you officially when summer starts and ends.
Summer is June 20th through September 22nd.
So we are officially in summer.
That did not go the way that you thought it was going to go.
It's summertime.
What a twist.
It's summertime.
Were you doing the math in your head whether we were still in summer?
I mean, I'm just.
What a swerve.
I'm trying to be fair here.
I'm trying to be fair.
All right.
So you're not wearing a wig somehow, though.
This is the most embarrassing fit you've had on your head. Why? What's wrong with this? There's a good looking hat right here.
I never understood. It's the flex fit.
The backwards flex fit is insane. I don't know how you do it.
Flex, you mean the... The stretchy flex fit hats.
Well, you can't have the backwards hat with the... The snap back? That's a good look.
The snap back, that is the look. Then you got the deal sticking out.
Yeah, well, you don't have the deal. I don't because I'm lacking in that department these days.
Yeah, but if you're a full-headed bald dude like you are, that works too. It's implied.
No, you want some hair, though. I'm with Zazz on this.
You do want some hair to pull off the backwards snapback. It looks best with hair, but...
That forehead in between is not a great... Trust me, as the Entradas, I have a lot of forehead.
I don't do the backwards snapback. Oh, I think having the deal, having the hair sticking out, I think that's a weird look.
Well, plus, you have the hat low on your forehead. Yeah, that's right.
Like, it's just over the eyebrow. That's my look.
The issue is it's cop behavior. Yeah, you look like an undercover cop.
Really? Like, if're driving next to me, I'm like trying to make sure that I'm on the up and up, make sure that I don't look at this guy. I'm looking like a narc? Yes.
You look like this is a sting operation to find ticket scalpers. Right.
And you're holding two fingers in the air. You should be walking through a high school hallway right now pretending to be the hip senior.
Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Well, you know, I'm not going to be bullied into changing my look. No, this is your look.
It's undeniably that. This is my look.
We're just telling you, though. All right.
Of course, we're showing Fuentes now with his backwards snapback. And he's got the deal.
I don't know. He's got a good lid.
But even with Chris, though, you're wearing the fitted hat. You can throw the fitted hat around that we know, okay, fitted hat.
That's a grandfathered look. Chris Cody and Fred Durst, they can do that.
I like how Chris looks. He just turned it around.
This was my look at the beginning. I like that look.
I switched the hat around probably like six years ago. Look at that.
That's nostalgic for me right there. That's like Griffey Jr.
taking BP right there. Yeah, me too.
I look like Griffey Jr. No, you do not.
You should do a goatee like Griffey Jr. You should save the sides, come in tomorrow with a goatee, maybe dye it black.
Then you'd be not looking like a cop. Yeah, definitely not looking like a cop that way.
Maybe some sunglasses. Oakley's.
They have to be Oakley's. Oakley's wraps.
I dare you to turn your hat around right now because I've never seen you with a hat with a brim four. Oh, okay.
I'll do that. Hang on a second.
Hang on. That's no big deal.
This might look better here. Let's see.
Yeah. Hey, you load up.
You still look like a cop. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think I look more like a cop
now. That's just his face.
I look like
a crooked cop. Yeah.
But we like
those. Yeah, we...
Don't let us go.
Don't let us go. Come on.
Alright, well,
I'm going back to my look.
Okay, patent pending. They both
look bad. Alright.
Well, summer's over. Hope everyone enjoyed.
That was a hell of a run, Sam. Thank you.
That was a good run. Thank you.
Thank you very much. All right.
We really ate into our wig budget. Those were wigs? Can I tell you, yesterday, I got a ton of messages on social media, Instagram, Twitter, with people thanking me, thanking us,
thanking us as a group, thanking us for the PSA of turning off the location services,
this new feature on Instagram. Now, Greg, I don't, Greg, I'll just ask you, you got the gram?
I'm on Instagram, but not actively.
Okay, so you're probably okay.
Others do that for me.
But Tony, see, Tony wasn't here yesterday.
I have no idea what's going on, boys.
Okay, well, we're going to help you out now, man.
I got a ton of messages from people yesterday.
Zaslo, thank you so much for telling me about this.
I'm turning the location off right now.
On your Instagram, they instituted a new feature. I think it was like six or seven days ago where there's, there's, you can click on a map on the direct messages.
And on the map, it shows, like, go to your direct messages on Twitter. And one of the features up top will be a map.
And you click on the map and it'll show you where every one of your friends is located in the moment, including maybe yourself. And not just like what city you're in, but it'll take you to the direct address, like to your home.
It's essentially like Google Maps, and you could see where the person is. Who the hell needs that, right? You don't want that.
I don't like that. You don't like that? Of course you don't like that.
What are you like that what are you yeah you don't like that so everyone in this room was shook yes especially jeremy he was i was really upset he was really shook and people were learning everyone in the look greg everyone is double checking right now i'm checking to make sure that they don't have this on you checking which like that's funny. What am I looking for? Exactly.
A map logo?
What am I looking for?
Yeah, just go to Google and put Greg's location and turn it off.
Zaz, I will say,
I haven't updated the app, though,
the Instagram app in the last week or so.
Oh, so you may be okay.
I don't have it.
I don't see the map.
I'm looking through my DMs with Louis
and I don't see anything.
Okay.
So I may be off the hook,
but the thing is,
if I update it,
then all of a sudden, then it shows up. Well, but at least you know now.
You know you got the heads up. That's a hot tip right there.
Alright? You got the hot tip to turn that off. So I got a ton of messages from people yesterday who were so grateful that we put this PSA out there.
Greg, you don't want people to be on Instagram and they're friends with Greg Cody on Instagram and then they see where you live? I don't want my relatives and friends to know where I live. There you go.
But I've said before on this air, there's no privacy anymore. Everybody's looking at all times.
Everybody can find out where you are. You know, they're tracking your car.
I mean, it's like Big Brother is watching. That was a fortuitous novel generations ago when it turned out to be true.
Everybody's watching us. So it was a little bit scary yesterday, but I feel like we helped people out.
If you don't want to be found, I don't want you to be found. Right.
That's what the bottom line is. Jeremy, you have a gift for Greg Cody today? I do.
We had a fun conversation on the show the other day where Greg revealed that his first date was to Pizza Hut. And he sat on the same side of the booth as his now wife, Earlene.
Was that a planned move or was it like when you were walking up to the booth and she sits down first, of course, because you're a gentleman. And you're like, you know what? I'm just going right in.
Was it a planned move or it was just on the spot? It was me trying to be romantic, do the right thing i barely knew her at this so you're on the outside correct she sits down and you pin her in so i'm trying to think in a split second get up in that microphone i'm trying to think in a split second what would she want like what should i do because i i was so when you were thinking what would she want your thought was me right next to her right okay yeah and and so that we couldn't look at each other and talk. We had to go like this and talk to each other.
And since then, she was polite on that date. I don't think she mentioned anything.
Yeah, she makes fun of him to this day. Oh, after the fact.
Anytime she sees another couple doing it, she's like, your dad did that on the first date. I know.
I mean, we learned to laugh about it, but at the time it was pretty awkward. And we've never done that again.
Never. Greg, it was a huge story.
It impacted me. I was really moved by this first date.
And so I was scrolling Twitter. One of my favorite accounts is shirts that go hard.
And there was this little beauty that I just felt I had to get for you. So, Greg, with the Pizza Hut logo, it says Biggest Slut at the Hut.
Wow.
This is just for you. I'm going to go
ahead and walk into the studio if you want to throw it on.
This is a gift from me
to you. For Greg.
This is for you.
You're not calling Chris's mother a slut.
No, I'm calling Greg a slut.
Wait a minute. Greg, you ignorant slut.
Biggest slut at the Hut.
Like Cody. I'm going to bring this into you.
This is for you. Your size and everything.
I reached out to Christopher. Come bring that in here.
Come on. Let's go.
What an honor. Look at that.
A big shirt. It's got the Pizza Hut logo.
Could be a little copyright infringement there. I'm not sure.
Yeah, don't worry about that. Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about it. Copyright.
You're good. You own it.
You can use that now. That's yours.
Play us. Good move.
Good value move. Good value there.
Look at this. Thank you so much.
Look at that. Greg, you got to put it on like the guys at the Heat games that put the jersey on over the shirt.
You got to put it on over that shirt. So you have the collar.
Yeah. Over the headphones, too.
So you have the collar coming out of the shirt. When's the last time you were called a slut, Greg? Yeah.
I don't know that I ever have been. Really? Yeah.
Good for you. Isn't that a word applied to women?
What was your...
Whoa.
I'm just saying.
What was your sluttiest year?
It's equality here, all right?
Come on.
Men can be sluts, too.
What was your sluttiest year?
When I dumped my longtime girlfriend
to pick up your mother.
Oh.
Hey.
What is long time?
I've been dating her several years.
And you dumped her specifically
because you wanted to...
Yeah, I was smitten.
How about that? And my future wife also dumped her boyfriend of longstanding. So you both cheated.
You can't hear me right now. Yeah, was this before or after the Pizza Hut situation? I don't think Greg can hear you.
Was this before or after the romance at Pizza Hut? Before. Before.
Okay. Wait a minute.
So you went on a date with mom before... Wait, let me wait until he puts it in.
That looks damn good on me wait that looks you went on a date with mom before you officially broke up with your ex is that what i'm hearing no i think we'd broken up first okay yeah so there was no like who cheated more you or mom when you were together we were cheating with each other so it's like a tie that's what i mean so you both were cheating nice the two biggest sluts at the the hut. No, it was controversy at the time.
Wow. Did you almost get into a physical altercation with her ex? No, but we actually became awkward friends.
I know. Didn't he, like, visit us once and, like, slept at our house? Yeah.
Yeah, that was weird. I remember thinking that was weird.
At, like, 18, my mom, like, my ex-boyfriend's going to be staying with us for a couple days. And right after the breakup, we were both tennis players at the time, and we played tennis.
For mom? It was a real challenger's moment. No, the guy and me.
No, for mom. Like, you played tennis? No, no.
Was it doubles, singles? It was singles, and I had already won your mother. What surface? It was a hard surface at FAU.
Of course it was. And it was, but he hit a hard shot that hit me right in the private region.
And for years, like, I was worried that it was an issue down there because, well. For years? What made you think that, Greg? What made you think? For years? Were things working all right? Everything was coming out normal? A little painful? Was this intentional? There was a time when...
Yeah, did the ball hit you on a bounce or straight? It hit me straight. Also, maybe it did on purpose.
I'm not alleging that, but I am implying it. Pre-Christopher, post-Christopher.
Oh, pre. Did it hit the twig or the berries? It hit the berries.
That's why he's worried. That's why he was worried for 10 years.
For a couple of years after that, one berry was noticeably bigger than the other. Which concerned me, but I had it looked into and it was okay.
Doc said everything good? Yeah, Barry Bonds. Well done.
Yes, so everything's good. Nice shirt, though.
Thank you so much, Jeremy. Jeremy is so thoughtful.
What a wonderful person. He gave you a shirt that's calling you a slut.
Nah, it's to celebrate the moment. It's fun.
I'm still confused about this dynamic in this relationship. So there's just a
sleepover one day? Yeah, why
did he visit us?
Because your mother has
continued. An open relationship?
Yeah, whereas I and
my girlfriend have not continued.
I've Googled her occasionally.
Is she still with us? She is still with us.
Is that what you do? You Google exes just to make sure you're doing better? No, not to make... Like, where is she living? What's she doing? She's got two grown daughters.
Check her Instagram now, yeah. Yeah, so you do that kind of thing.
She's got a podcast? No. She's the only one in America who doesn't.
Are you doing better than her? I don't know how to define better. Yes, you do.
No. Well, you have a podcast she doesn't, so...
Well, she worked at a prominent southern university. Had a good job.
I don't know whether she's still working or retired. That's how old I am.
You should get her as a guest on the Greg Cody Show. Oh, yeah.
That would be weird. No, we should, actually.
We haven't spoken in 40 years. Mom's still close with her ex, so we could have him on.
Well, he would be on. Yeah.
That doesn't bother you. On what? No.
No, it doesn't bother me in the least.
He's a nice guy.
How many green ice shade awards does she have?
I don't know that she's won one.
But as Levitard casually said,
I forget whether I've won one or not.
Did I win one or two?
And it turns out he won two
to one up me.
That's okay.
No resentment.
No, it's all good. Biggest slut at the hut.
Why do they make shirts like this? What does this even mean? I don't know. Is that like a slut's implied? I don't think it's very deep.
Shirts that go hard. You know what it means.
There's not... Is that a saying? It is a saying.
It is? Yeah, all the kids are saying it these days. Biggest slut at the hut?
Yeah.
Wow.
It's on TikTok.
Pop culture lexicon fixture.
Wow.
See, I didn't know that. We're messing with you.
We're messing.
I've never heard the phrase until I saw it there, and I find it contextually supplementary.
But that's yours now.
Now, you have to be careful how often you use it, because I don't know if you heard,
maybe it was when you were taking your headphones off, Billy owns the rights. Yeah, but it's okay, I granted it to you.
Yeah, you're good. Okay.
Don't worry. Are you sure? I'll have you sign a disclaimer after the show.
You should take a selfie and send it to Earlene. Say, look what I got.
I should, actually. Remember the days? I am going to do that next break.
I'll send it to her. If she gets back to me, it'll be a laugh because she'll probably know know what this means.
I think she'll get it, yeah. Oh, yeah, I hope so.
Wait, what does it mean? What happened at the hut? I think it will just reel her mind back to that day and our first date and how awkward it was. What happened after that day? Was there a movie after? Let's talk baseball terms.
What base are we thinking? Well, what year are we here? We We got to understand the times. What year are we here? I would say we had just broken up with our partners a couple of weeks earlier.
Was it one of those where it's like, hey, I broke up with my girlfriend. Hey, I broke up with my boyfriend.
I don't remember the chronology of that particular thing, but I do remember there was a campus bar called a Rathskeller. Oh, all called it the rat ah the rat and our first uh our first real date just one-on-one was at the rathskeller but the pizza hut was the first one where we were like off campus and more of a couple type date what would you just do with your fingers there you know more of a couple type oh okay so some light fingering nice no not yet no no.
It's the worst date. I mean, Chris, you want to vomit.
We're not talking about at Pizza Hut. We're talking about after.
How many dates until that happened? Isn't it so great? Not many. Jeez.
Jeez. I guess they don't just give out that shirt.
He's a coxman. So you were how old at that time? You're in college.
So how old are you? 19, 20? I would say 19 or 20. Okay, 19 or 20 years old.
You're on a first date. You want to impress the girl.
You took her to Pizza Hut, which I think is a great move. But still.
At the time, it was a better move. But still, it's Pizza Hut.
It's so funny when you go back and you think about the place. Like, I remember where I used to take girls on a date when I was in college.
Like, restaurants that you thought were like, ooh, this is a nice place. The Olive Garden.
Olive Garden was a great spot to take. Big one.
Let's go to a nice Italian restaurant on a date. I took a girl one time in Gainesville.
Went to a nice steakhouse. You want to know which steakhouse that was? Sizzler? Outback.
Yeah. Went to a really nice steakhouse.
No rules, just right. Outback.
She was impressed that bit. Have you had the Motsis at Outback, by the way? No way.
Yeah, dude. The fried boomerangs.
They're really good. Makes it tough to have a cheese pool, you know, because it's unconventional.
It's V-shaped. It's like a boomerang.
Yeah, that's weird. Do they still have the bloomin' onion? That's their go-to.
Is it still? I mean, it was 20 years ago. I don't know.
The fried boomerangs, the batter that they use, same batter as a Bloomin' Onion. So is the Ratskeller like a chain? Because that's like a thing at UM, too, the rat.
Oh, yeah. I thought you were talking about UM, actually.
Oh, wow. No.
FAU had one as well. FIU had a Ratskeller, too.
I don't know if they still do, but they did when I was... They have a Chili's too.
Going to online classes there. The one at FIU was like a, as you might gather from the name, was like a vaguely German type feel, you know.
Yeah. Why are you dancing when you say that? No, I went to...
It was vaguely. The last time I went to the Ratskeller, there's a brand new Ratskeller at UM, but I went to like the old one.
It was summer slam that uh sean michaels won the world heavyweight title for that you you want to talk about a pop you remember that right greg that was great i think ray mysterio also debuted and had banger against kurt angle yeah we all remember that yeah hey it's mike ryan those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field time that we have with summer is dwindling i'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have. I know I did.
And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Lite in my hand because I love making good times during the summer, a Miller time. And it's a good reminder, we're losing time on this summer.
So why don't you share the moments that you have with a white can of Miller Lite like I have, whether it's a long weekend or a full-on vacation. It is the perfect time to get the crew back together.

50 years of great taste, great friends, and unforgettable memories. Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients like malted barley, it delivers rich, balanced toffee note flavor.

Hey, it's Jeremy here. I don't know if you've noticed this about me, but I'm not quite someone who loves confrontation or fighting.
I don't really want to end up in a situation where I need to do so.
For me, SimpliSafe
becomes the way I want to protect my home
because I don't really want to end up in a situation where I need to do so. For me, SimpliSafe becomes the way I want to protect my home.
Because not only is there like the personal peace of mind of knowing that my security is preventative, it's not just an alarm after an event, I want to make sure that my wife is okay, that my cats are okay, that everything I have in my home is okay, and knowing that I have to deal with, like, the stress or the violation of someone potentially breaking into my home and reacting to it versus having the control and safety of proactive prevention is huge for me. Most security systems only react after a break.
SimpliSafe helps stop it before that happens. Their new Active Guard Outdoor Protection uses AI cameras and live agents to spot suspicious activity, speak to intruders, turn on lights, and call the cops before anything goes down.
SimpliSafe is offering Levitard show listeners 50% off a new system with professional monitoring. Plus, your first month is free.

Lightning, Panthers, what do you think?
Stugatz.
Look at this face while I tell this to you.
Okay, because I don't want there to be any kind of confusion.
You look me right in the eye.
Panthers are going to take that ass, man. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
so i want to i want to get into a little bit of Dolphins here with you guys. Is Darren Waller ever going to play for the team? Probably not.
It's starting to feel to me. So Mike McDaniel is being asked every few days now about Darren Waller, who has not participated in a single practice yet.
Remember, it kind of came out of nowhere, where they need a tight end. I mean, they traded away John O.
Smith, which I think was the right move, but they needed a tight end, and they went and they brought in Darren Waller. He's been retired for two years, you know? He was really good at one point, but he's been retired for a couple years, and Mike McDaniel yesterday says Darren Waller is not ready to practice right now.
He doesn't want him jumping into a joint practice, because they're doing the joint practices right now with the Detroit Lions, doesn't want him jumping into a joint practice out of retirement. Right.
Which I guess makes sense, but I don't know. The closer we get to actual games, he's going to jump into a real NFL game out of retirement.
When they signed Darren Waller, I immediately said, and Levitard's sitting where you are raving about him, as I recall.
And I'm like, wow, you know, he's older.
He's been retired.
He's got some, you know, distant but still off-field baggage in his past.
They should have gone after Noah Fant, who is five years younger, ended up signing with Cincinnati. Like, Darren Waller.
That would have got us excited. Noah Fant.
He's not bad, though. But more than Darren Waller.
But more than Darren Waller. I think it's just about having someone who could play the position.
Or could play at all. I mean, you know, the old saying, the best ability is availability.
when you sign a guy who hasn't played in two years and he's immediately hurt well no he's not hurt it's just he's he's not ready okay you know he's had two years to get ready what are you doing not not playing football not getting ready he's retired okay yeah but now he's back making music you figure that he's working out on his own he's trying to get his his body up to conditioning, right? You're out of football for two years.
Your cardiovascular is not going to be the same thing.
So I get the point of holding him out of joint practice to see under your roof
to see how he's going to fight and figure out how to be an NFL tight end again.
So I'm not super worried.
Did he have any intention of playing football?
It seems like they just knocked him.
It came out of nowhere.
By the way, we just traded for you. You're back.
It came out of nowhere. But what is the point of this, if this is going to be such a to-do and such an effort just to get him on the field and you have no idea if he's going to be good or not? And by the way, may I say, Jonu Smith, who they traded, had a great season, the former FIU Panthers.
It was a career season for him. He had a great season last year.
In fact, I may have been the only one, but I actually voted for him as the team's offensive MVP. Wow.
So that was a big deal. And when they traded him, that left a big void that they absolutely have not filled.
Well, that was a money thing, though. They didn't want to pay him.
It wasn't because they were unhappy. They just didn't want to pay him what he wanted.
Exactly. But sometimes you've got to balance what you really need the most.
Learn. Got to want to learn.
Exactly. I actually think that's the biggest thing this season is last year, defenses were like, you're not going deep on us.
And because of that, Jono Smith ate all season. Because teams were just like, go ahead.
Take it. I want to see Mike McDaniel adjust this year.
Can he get Waddle and Tyreek back to that? Adjust to the adjustment. Right adjustment? Because that, like, if our tight end is having another good season this year,
that's probably not a great sign for the Dolphins.
It just felt like he's been out-schemed offensively where he's like,
all right, we're going to do deep ins.
Nobody's going to see it coming.
And then remember that game where the Chargers just dropped back their linebackers
and then all of a sudden it was like, oh, Tyreek can't get open.
Like, what's going on here?
Waddle's kind of always hurt every game going in and out.
And now you look at Tyreek Hill off the field issues.
Now you look at kind of his decline.
He's what, 31 years old now? He's had a lot of miles on him. Is he going to play to the level that he's been playing the last two, three, four years in this system? Tua can't go deep because the offensive line doesn't give him enough time.
Where's the scheme win here? If I'm McDaniel, if I'm that offense, I'm throwing quick slants to Waddle in space and allowing him to use his speed. I'm pitching the ball out to A-Chan rather than running him up the middle as if he's 230 pounds.
There are ways to utilize somebody's speed by giving it to them in space, which they haven't done a lot in the past year. I hate doing the whole, you know, jumping off of what Tony was just saying about being out-schemed, I hate doing the whole, oh, he didn't make adjustments.
You know, the coach, McDaniel has got to make adjustments. He's clearly a defense.
They figured out the Dolphins. We don't know what's going on in the halftime adjustments.
Maybe they gave adjustments and the players weren't counting it out properly. We don't know what adjustments are being made or not being made, but I will say he's had an entire offseason now to figure out why defenses were week in and week out able to stop what was once an incredible Dolphins offense.
We better get to this season after an entire offseason of him being able to look at what went wrong last year and better not be seeing that again. I mean, two years ago, Mike McDaniel is the wunderkind of the league.
They have the most exciting offense in the NFL. They just scored 70 points on Denver.
They're the talk of the league. Now he's a yammer.
Two years later, he's under pressure. Well, yeah, his acting's so cute when they're not so good anymore.
Which we called. At the time, I was like, I love this now.
This won't be cute. And I'll tell you, it's not.
It's not. Every answer, I'm like, what did he just say? Well, the thing with him, too, every time you bring in someone new, they now need to learn this offensive scheme.
And then they're trying to catch up, and they're not on the same page. Well, Tyreek Hill's going into his fourth year with the Dolphins and the first day of camp he said,
I'm finally starting to understand the offense.
That's insane.
There's been so many crazy quotes at Dolphins training camp this offseason.
You're like, this does not feel like this season is going to go well.
It does not feel.
Tua just found his voice.
It's like he's been a captain for like three years.
It's a $280 million deal. Just now him and Tyreek are on the same page? What's going on here? Well, I don't know that they're on the same page.
I mean, well, I have evidence that suggests that they were on the same page when Tyreek Hill had one of the great seasons of all time for this franchise. I'm gonna come out and say this.
Theorize be super bright i recal just there's there's enough you may dub it circumstantial but i i think it's mounting you're gonna take the under on yeah on intelligence yeah i'm going under wow okay it's just it the darren waller thing is reminding me it feels like the dolphins have done this before where they go out and they get the guy and they give him money and he does literally like like they got taken for a ride I hear you and usually that that is assigned to a player that has expectation this guy hasn't played football in a while and I think Greg hit Dan with a hard dose of reality when people got excited about seeing dar Waller. He's a former All-Pro, had a tremendous couple of seasons at the tight end position, but he's quick to remind us, this guy, last time we saw him in a football uniform, he wasn't always available, and he wasn't certainly effective.
And it's been a couple of years since then, and on social media, it's kind of a punchline because of the rap career. Why attach any sort of expectation to this guy? If he makes a team, it'd be against the odds.
The Dolphins did the same thing a couple of years ago with Odell Beckham. Last year.
Was it just last year? It was that forgettable. Yeah, it was.
It was. But yet, it's the same story.
You're trying to resurrect and exhume the ashes of a career. That's what it reminds me of.
It reminds me of Beckham, who totally took them for a ride. They paid him at least $10 million.
They paid him, and he had nine catches last year. Right.
But again, he was playing football the year prior. He was in the Super Bowl and got hurt the year prior.
So it's like he actually was playing. Do you think, Darren, you figure Greer, Mike McDaniel, all these guys in the front office called Darren Waller and said, hey, we're thinking of making something happen here.
Are you ready to go? It's not the kid on his couch where he's like pointing at himself like, wait, me? I love that meme. You guys are picking me up? I haven't played football.
I don't know. I'm rapping.
What do you want me to do? It's cross your fingers signing. You know, it's just hoping upon hope that somebody who used to, for a couple of years, pretty good, five years later, still good? Probably not.

Quiet man. Yes.
You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife, despite that gratuitous line back in my day.
That you wrote, Stugatz.
I wish you were here, my wife.
I really miss her.
No, I don't.
That's the thing about being married.
You know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife.
I've been gone two days.
I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife.
I'm sorry.
I call her.
I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds.
You know, what am I?
Hello.
All right. All right.
We'll see you. All right.
And then, you know, I'm going to see her in two days. How's jumping Charlie? Good.
This is the Don LeBatar Show with the Stugats. Speaking of Odell Beckham, you guys see what happened with Odell Beckham yesterday? No.
What now? So. Did I get got to? So Odell Beckham was in, I wouldn't call it a Twitter beef, but he got a little riled up on Twitter yesterday, Odell Beckham Jr.
Because Adam Shepter tweeted out, although, no, wait, hold on a second. That's Adam Schelfer.
All right. Adam Schelfer.
Oh, wow. This got me.
That's right. Adam Schelfer tweeted out, after 10 seasons in the NFL, Odell Beckham Jr.
has decided to retire. Beckham Jr.
played for the Giants, Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins. He announced Tuesday.
And attached to Adam Schelfer's tweet is a picture of, I assume it's Odell Beckham, his backs to us. It's a sweet picture of Odell Beckham with, I also assume it's his son.
And they're sitting on the parking lot outside MetLife Stadium. Which, can I tell you something? I was at MetLife Stadium last week and that place is a dump.
But anyway, you got Adam Shelfer who tweets that out and then Odell Beckham responds directly to the Adam Schelfer account. And he responds with, no, seriously, please stop reading everything on the internet and stop texting me happy retirement before you piss me off.
That will get no response. I promise you the day I'm done, I will let you know.
Again, if you text me happy retirement, I'm just going to have to block you. Thanks.
This was a smart job by whoever runs that account because they put an adorable picture of him and what looks like his son looking at the state. So that got all my attention.
I was like, aw. I never even got to, oh, let me make sure because it seems so harmless.
It got me, 100%. I didn't retweet it, but I saw
it and thought he was retired. The reason
that ruse worked is that,
and I don't know if it did, but the reason it
worked. Well, no, it did because Adam Schelfer's
tweet was
engaged with 4.4
million times. Wow, okay.
The reason it worked
is that Odell Beckham Jr. is
the perfect example if you're playing the game retired or not retired.
It's like the timing you would expect him to retire about now.
He's trying to get a job this offseason. He can't.
I'm going to retire.
And there are certain players around the league who are in that category.
Oh, you want to like maybe Darren Waller.
Darren Waller would have been one.
Should the Greg Cody show get out there with a fake report? Retired or not retired? Should we put out Greg Cody has retired and a picture of me and you looking at the Kaseya Center? That would be funny with our backs of the camera. Recreate that.
Should be the two of you outside Highline. On an empty parking lot.
Draft on Monday, Chris. Lock in.
You guys got to get Manu again? Don't ask. Manu is back.
Oh, my Lord. Manu is back.
You guys don't get how it works. You don't understand.
Fire Mike Fuentes. You guys don't know Pelota.
I mean, from your lips. How old is Manu? Is he like 45? That's the prime.
Fuentes, yes. That's a prime for an elite backcourt player.
Really?
I think you've got to hire Joey.
Bring back Joey.
My friend?
No, the famous highlight Joey.
So do you get one keeper and you kept Manu again?
We have more than one keeper.
We brought back Gignacchi, who is great for us.
Number 69 in the program is number one in your hearts.
We just brought back two players.
We had the top pick because we were the worst team. Manu would have been the number one pick What do you think the big problem is players or ownership? Players.
Yeah, players. Definitely the players.
But ownership did take some accountability. But you also draft essentially the same team except two people every season.
And you're surprised that you get the same result every year. There are five teams in the league and there's 26 guys in the league.
Like, what do you want from us? Yeah, like there are guys on our team that we wanted to bring back that are good, but we had to change something up. We've made plenty of tough decisions.
Yeah, it's hard. Oh, I'd like to hear one of these.
I mean, we've let, we've Carbio, we had to let go a couple seasons. So how does that go? This season, Bueno.
That was a really tough one. He was like our next captain in waiting.
When you let him go, how does that go down?
Tell him no Bueno.
I owe him a conversation.
We send in the email of who we're keeping, and he's not on it.
No, but I do hope.
Definitely not a coward's way of doing that.
No, I've had heartbreaking conversations.
I've had to pull Carbio aside through tears.
I learned my lesson year one when at the draft, I dapped up some guy. I was like, we're going to get you tonight.
And then we didn't. And he didn't make the league.
Why did you do that? Well, just because I thought we were looking at him as our late round pick and it just didn't work out. Billy.
He wants them to like him. Right.
But I don't even... You had the heartbreak.
I hit him, we're hoping for you tonight. But it's not like he's moving.
He just puts on, instead of a, what is the team called? Cyclones. Instead of a Cyclones jersey, he puts on a wall Warriors jersey.
No, now he didn't make. He lives in the same house.
It's the same thing. He didn't make the league.
They're just Warriors. He didn't make the league.
He was a floating player that, like, replaces injured guys. Taxi squad.
A taxi squad guy. Okay.
So you were fighting to keep someone that isn't even good enough to make the league?
No, I told a guy.
This is why your team's not good.
I was hopeful we would take him in the late round, and we ended up getting someone better.
No, I was talking about Carballo.
Carballo?
No, Carballo is now medically retired.
What a great career for Carballo.
Oh, well.
Electric on that.
Medically retired?
Cyclone legend.
Cyclone legend.
He's young.
Yeah, I know.
And you saw how he played the game.
He never took a rep off.
He was tough.
Okay.
As an owner of a team, do you feel like sometimes you let emotion play too big of a role in your decision making? Yes. Manu's been on the team for 17 years.
Manu's good. You won a championship one time eight seasons ago.
There are two seasons in a season. Best backcourt in the world.
He's the Babe Ruth of that league. Your team, by the way, has gone downhill ever since I last appeared at a game and fainted.
Yeah, when you collapsed. I collapsed.
I thought you were dead. That's not true.
We did make a final after that. Did you? Yeah, we had a second place finish in there.
Is the league still recycling borderline former UM Hurricanes? There are some. Well, they weren't borderline former UM Hurricanes.
That's a weird sentence. They were former.
We're talking about Jedden. And Tennessee.
Don't forget him. Rock won a national championship with Miami Hurricanes baseball.
What position did Rock play? He was a pitcher. Wow.
Baseball. That makes more sense.
Yeah, he was baseball. I was like picturing football.
I'm like, that guy's lumbering. Can I ask a rude question that we're all thinking? You guys like headed into the draft now next week, right? And you put in your keepers.
Manu's a keeper again. Kinyaki too.
And that was a great draft pick. Okay, but, and you've seen the results and the bit of the fall off over the past couple seasons.
Do you guys ever go and say, listen, Manu, we love you. We got to work on your training regimen here.
We got to talk some conditioning. We got to work into this.
He's a bit of a bigger guy. We're far off from...
Think of like a Mo Vaughn type. No, that's disrespectful.
Mo Vaughn won an MVP. Disrespectful to who? Much like Manu did.
It's got Dan vibes. Yeah, a little girthy.
Imagine Dan playing highlight. Backcourt, you don't need as much mobility in the backcourt.
Incredible posture though. I haven't seen a spine this straight in quite some good posture.
Greatest hands in Pelota history. That's often the criticism for Manu, but he is certifiably the best backcourt player in the world.
He's not the problem. If someone else had the number one pick and we didn't freeze Manu, guess who the number one pick would be? Boom.
Manu.'re keeping Manu. He is a Cyclone lifer.
He is not the issue. At all.
I know by this picture you may be formulating some opinions. That guy is the heart and soul of the Cyclone franchise.
Now it says WP 20%. I imagine that's some kind of stat.
What does that mean? I think that's winning percentage. That seems rough.
That seems awful. You guys don't know how difficult it is to go against Cocherry.
You just don't. And this guy performs very well against Cocherry.
I mean, are you afraid of a time where you're going to show up to one of the games and the crowd's going to be chanting for new ownership? I mean, we've had... How many Come to Jesus meetings have we had? Wow, that's too many.
Three. Three Come to Jesus meetings.
Did you guys get lost? Like, what's going on? Three Come to Jesus meetings. Look, man, we made really tough decisions this time.
We have the number one pick, so hopefully this will be the start of the tournament. That's our horse right there.
I will say that despite the recent seasons where we're not living up to the standard, the gold standard that this franchise established. Which is what? We'll be back.
Championships. We won the championship the first season.
We are the crown jewel of Battlecourt. We're.
So when you say you won the championship your first season, is it possible you won it because, hey, your team was given to you in a good scenario? No, we battled. You got the team and you won the championship
right away, and now after many years of
ownership, you're once again number one over.
You know who I think we miss? I'll say it, Mike.
Manny. Yeah.
The first couple
seasons we had Manny who's like 72
years old, but he's just one of the most...
Is he available? He's kind of been around
in the drafts. He's always one of these guys, he never gets
kept, but he's just like a guy you want.
Number one pick, maybe? No.
We don't know. Who are the eyes on? Who's the number
one pick? You have the number one. You can say it.
No one else can take it.
I don't know Peloto. Who are the eyes on? Who's the number one pick? You have the number one.
You could say it. No one else can take the person.
Who is it? We took Manu. Yeah, we took Manu with our number one pick.
So you don't have the number one pick. Well, we do.
Like we could have unfrozen Manu and just taken Manu. We have the freeze.
You don't know Peloto. We use the freeze.
Let me give you guys some free advice. Oh boy.
Okay? And I'm being half serious here. You fainted the last game you went to.
No, no. Listen.
He was so excited. He was appalled by the play.
There are a bevy of retired athletes who live down here. Okay? And this is partly publicity stunt, but partly smart.
A tryout? Hire somebody. Sign somebody like Ochocinco.
Just as a weird example. I like this idea.
You know? It would be great publicity. He's an athlete.
He would probably like to do it as a lark. He could learn Highline in about a minute and a half.
Such a dangerously difficult sport. The sport is not easy.
Also, well over our budget, pal. Well, you don't know.
He might do it. I know what our budget is, which is presently zero dollars.
Hey, it's Mike Ryan. Those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field.
Time that we have with summer is dwindling. I'm sure you're already doing that thing where you're going through your photo album, flipping through the photos that you've taken this summer, already reminiscing about the good times that you have.
I know I did. And in many of the pictures that I went back to reminisce over, I had a beautiful white can of Miller Lite in my hand
because I love making good times during the summer,
a Miller time.
And it's a good reminder,
we're losing time on this summer.
So why don't you share the moments that you have
with a white can of Miller Lite like I have,
whether it's a long weekend or a full-on vacation.
It is the perfect time to get the crew back together.
And since 1975,
Miller Lite has been the go-to way to stock the cooler and celebrate those moments. This year marks 50 years of Miller time.
50 years of great taste, great friends, and unforgettable memories. Brewed for flavor, with simple ingredients like malted barley, it delivers rich, balanced hoffee note flavor and that golden color that just hits different.
Miller Lite. Great taste.
