Hour 1: Rhonda Cooks (feat. Ron Magill)

Speaker 1 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Speaker 2 Cuervo.

Speaker 1 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 1 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 3 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 1 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 4 Proxima, Quervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Speaker 11 This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 11 We got a boldest take of the day, right, Chris Cody? What do we got here, man? Oh, Oh, I love the boldest take.

Speaker 13 The audience, Dan, likes to criticize it, but I think they brought it strong all year. It's the boldest,

Speaker 13 it's the Boost Mobile boldest take presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country.

Speaker 15 Hey, this is Jake calling from my cell phone. And my hot take is: if you've played pinball on one machine, you've played pinball on every machine.

Speaker 16 Thanks.

Speaker 15 This little dude on a mobile.

Speaker 15 My hot take is if the NFL

Speaker 15 should move the PA team back to the three-yard line and require the player scoring the touchdown to make the attempt.

Speaker 2 I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 16 Hey, everybody, this is Joe on one of those Army field phones. I just wanted to say, I wish bakeries sold bread by the slice.
Like, I just want a couple sandwiches right now.

Speaker 17 I don't need nor want a full loaf.

Speaker 15 Thank you.

Speaker 16 Hey, Jack, calling on the Rotary.

Speaker 15 Nooks and crannies.

Speaker 19 I've heard of a nook, but does anybody ever have a cranny?

Speaker 20 I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 15 Hey guys, Travis from Fort Myers, calling from a rotary phone, first time, good time. Hey, I've got a strictly South Florida take for you.
Tyreek Hill is the Jimmy Butler of the NFL.

Speaker 10 I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 17 Hi, this is Zach on the Telegraph Machine, and I got a Levo's mind bending for you.

Speaker 17 Would you rather embark on the Oregon Trail or travel across the Atlantic on the Mayflower?

Speaker 12 Thanks.

Speaker 1 Hey, the whales.

Speaker 2 Say the teachers.

Speaker 11 At what age do you start into enjoy playing pinball? Because I remember when I would go to the arcade, like my father would go right to the pit.

Speaker 22 That's a dad's game, pinball.

Speaker 11 I want to play the video games. But then you get to a certain age who goes, you know what?

Speaker 4 Pinball is pretty fun.

Speaker 20 I used to think there was like this crazy special skill to pinball. And I'm just like, man, if I start working this machine, am I going to embarrass myself?

Speaker 20 And every time like the ball went or I lost a turn or whatever, I'd kind of look around and be like, anybody notice that? Because that was embarrassing.

Speaker 1 There are people that are much better at it.

Speaker 21 Of course.

Speaker 1 You know, it's got to be a skill, but there are times where it just goes right down the middle. And you're like, what am I supposed to do about this?

Speaker 18 Okay,

Speaker 9 it doesn't.

Speaker 1 The laws of physics do not apply.

Speaker 20 That's when I need somebody else there to confirm that they saw. Did you see that? I couldn't do anything about that.
Don't call me a loser.

Speaker 13 I don't think I've played a pinball machine since I was like eight.

Speaker 21 Really? Not for me.

Speaker 11 What's the ultimate dad arcade game?

Speaker 13 Papa-Man. Papa Shot.

Speaker 24 Miss Pac-Man. Miss Pac-Man.
Miss Pac-Man.

Speaker 13 Yeah. For me, it's Papa Shot.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Golden T's up there.

Speaker 20 Golden T. Love it.
On Miss Pac-Man, every time you go up a level and you get that little thing that they do, the little song and dance, you got to wait.

Speaker 20 You got to kind of lean to the side and play it really cool to be like, you see this? You guys see this? I just made the next level.

Speaker 11 I think I got you guys beat. I think the ultimate dad arcade game is Galaga.

Speaker 4 Granddad.

Speaker 13 It makes sense because my dad has a Miss Pac-Man half and then Galaga machine. That's the machine my my dad has.

Speaker 25 Those are the two games. Yeah, right.

Speaker 20 Maybe Skeeball. Which one's Galaga? Is that the one where you shoot the little spaceships as they come closer and closer?

Speaker 25 Yeah, but when you get double Galaga, you are unstoppable.

Speaker 26 You want to get captured.

Speaker 11 That's a veteran move. You know, if you're playing Galaga for the first time and your son is next, you show him, watch this.

Speaker 11 And then he's like, whoa, why are you letting their laser beam come and suck you up? No, no, no, son. This is the move.
I'm getting captured on purpose.

Speaker 23 Right.

Speaker 20 right and now i'm gonna get the double shooter yeah but then you're more vulnerable because you're wider so it's easy no but once you get the double shooter no i mean you're unstoppable for a good 15 seconds i have galaga i know this game it's the only way to win is to have the double shooter what about that centipede game is it's fairly similar uh but does it is it better than you don't know which one what about dig dug oh dig dug classic That might be a little older, though.

Speaker 20 And I don't think it's arcade. I think that's more Nintendo or at home, maybe even Atari.

Speaker 25 How is Donkey Kong not in this discussion?

Speaker 2 Yes, it's different.

Speaker 13 That's like, we're talking arcades.

Speaker 11 No, Donkey Kong was absolutely in the arcades.

Speaker 13 Donkey Kong is N64.

Speaker 24 Like, maybe you guys...

Speaker 28 What? Don't Kong64.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like, that's where I think of Donkey Kong.

Speaker 19 Donkey K64 is another answer.

Speaker 20 As soon as you start putting numbers on the station, on the things you're playing on, next time you're going to be able to do that.

Speaker 13 I don't think I've ever played Donkey Kong at an arcade.

Speaker 4 I'm not saying it's wrong.

Speaker 19 Donkey Kong introduced the world to Super Mario.

Speaker 30 That's right.

Speaker 11 Like, I know, Jeremy, you're saying that this is like a very old person conversation, arcades, but I'm going to sound really old when I say this too.

Speaker 6 This generation, you have no idea how great going to the arcade was.

Speaker 11 It was the greatest activity. Collect the tickets you could do on the weekend with your friends is go to the arcade.

Speaker 2 I went to the arcade.

Speaker 22 I understand how great it is.

Speaker 4 They're still saying, like,

Speaker 13 it's a Saturday night, like, week dinner and then an arcade with my kid.

Speaker 24 Like, that's like a thing.

Speaker 19 I think, but the Galaga is really what he's saying, is like the Facebook of the conversation.

Speaker 5 No, the Donkey Kong not being on 64. Like saying that 64, Nintendo 64 is too old or too young for you.

Speaker 20 Atari, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, Texas Instruments. You're done.

Speaker 11 You had that Texas instrument?

Speaker 20 I had a calculator that was Texas Instruments. I had that Texas Instrument.

Speaker 29 Graphing calculator.

Speaker 11 So Billy, what is going on with Shohei Otani?

Speaker 31 Dude,

Speaker 19 that's the question. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Speaker 4 I'm getting the impression.

Speaker 11 I'm getting the impression. I want you to explain this to me, but I'm getting the impression Shohei Otani

Speaker 11 might be a troublemaker.

Speaker 13 Either that or he has a terrible vetting system. Can we at least agree on that? No.

Speaker 19 At the very least,

Speaker 13 he just kind of, oh, you got a business idea? I like it.

Speaker 5 I'm in.

Speaker 19 So Shohei is now being sued.

Speaker 19 Shohei and a partner of his is being sued for quote-unquote sabotaging a real estate deal in Hawaii, and they're being sued for $250 million, or I think it was a $250 million sabotage that they accused him of.

Speaker 19 We're a year removed from the epe situation where it was not Shohei's fault.

Speaker 28 It was epe's fault.

Speaker 21 That's the partner's name, Fall Guy.

Speaker 19 Now we have another situation here with Shohei, and I'm starting to kind of wonder what's going on with this show.

Speaker 14 You know what I don't understand?

Speaker 19 $700 million

Speaker 19 seems like enough money to not be involved in these shenanigans.

Speaker 11 Well, but he doesn't have the $700. Remember, base salary is like a million dollars.

Speaker 23 No, no, But it's not.

Speaker 19 It's like a million dollars for the Dodgers. And then like

Speaker 19 it's like $60 million in like endorsement deals that he's making. So he's still making a ton of money.

Speaker 20 Why is he doing this stuff?

Speaker 11 So he's being accused of...

Speaker 30 Sabotage.

Speaker 11 But why would he sabotage? Why would he want to sabotage a deal that he willingly entered into?

Speaker 19 Because he's Shohei Otani. He's a bad boy.
He's an international bad boy that just likes going around doing bad boy things.

Speaker 21 He's a fall guy.

Speaker 1 But he's not going to light his own money on fire.

Speaker 1 What didn't he? What's the allegation of what he did in up?

Speaker 20 The allegation is that Shohei and his agent got two real estate investors fired from a $240 million luxury housing development

Speaker 20 in Hawaii and their coveted Hapuna Coast that they brought him in to endorse.

Speaker 20 According to the lawsuit filed in Hawaii Circuit Court on Friday, Otani's agent increasingly demanded concessions from developer, and they're both their names, before demanding that their business partner drop them from the deal.

Speaker 5 It says that the lawsuit alleges Otani and his agent, quote, exploited their celebrity leverage to destabilize and ultimately dismantle the plaintiff's role in the project for no reason other than their own financial self-interest.

Speaker 20 That's like a big move, I would say.

Speaker 1 It seems very one-sided.

Speaker 1 As a lawsuit would be being filed by somebody else. It's just odd that Shohei Otani is in the news cycle the second he becomes a a Dodger because it was so quiet around this guy.

Speaker 1 He's been in the majors for a very long time and it's been like a weird like 16 months for Shohei Otani.

Speaker 6 Like, are we going to learn he's like a kingpin?

Speaker 20 No, it also sounds like if you look at the suit, it's his agent that they're really you think Otani is sitting there saying, no, no, no, if we're going to do this real estate deal, we need

Speaker 4 to see

Speaker 4 it.

Speaker 25 It's very convenient for Otani, though.

Speaker 19 It's never him. It's always everyone around him.

Speaker 1 It does seem like he's a mark and he's being taken advantage of by people around him.

Speaker 19 You're the mark if you believe that.

Speaker 19 He's the one that's here telling you guys, no, it's not me. Everyone's just poor old me, Shohei Otany.
Everyone's taking advantage of me. Watch me pitch two innings.
Watch me hit home runs.

Speaker 19 Watch me not steal bases this season.

Speaker 13 I feel like all these things happening to Shohei, or what happened? What would happen to me if I had $700 million?

Speaker 4 Again, only one million dollars.

Speaker 14 Only salary.

Speaker 5 Like gambling scandal.

Speaker 4 Like, just like, this is like what would happen to me.

Speaker 19 What would happen to you? Like, so the Powerball last night was. I like it.

Speaker 24 You got an idea?

Speaker 13 I'm in.

Speaker 19 $500 million.

Speaker 19 What would you have done if you won the $500 million?

Speaker 2 Gambled at Trump.

Speaker 20 Because it seems like

Speaker 4 gambling.

Speaker 13 I would have stressed getting it. Like, do I have to go to Tallahassee? Who am I going to tell?

Speaker 19 I would just start stressing.

Speaker 25 Do you take a lump sum or you take it over?

Speaker 18 Oh, you got to go lump sum.

Speaker 4 You have to.

Speaker 6 Well, why is this even a discussion?

Speaker 13 But I do like kind of the idea of the Bobby Bonilla type.

Speaker 5 Every year I get X like $17 million.

Speaker 24 That's a nice little yearly contract.

Speaker 20 I've got Shohei Otani signing this contract for whatever it was, billion dollars, and then moving to Los Angeles and having all these new friends and him being like, man this country is awesome everybody's so nice here as soon as i move to los angeles everybody wants to be my friend stu gotta you win the 500 million dollar power ball you making this drive no if i don't do the lump sum and something like does my family get it if something happens to me forever

Speaker 13 Because I might not do the lump sum. If it's just something I can guarantee my family will get $27 million

Speaker 23 for the next

Speaker 20 I think it's until you die.

Speaker 19 I think you have one person that you can like bequeath it to.

Speaker 4 You know what?

Speaker 13 Then I might not do it, actually.

Speaker 14 I might go the

Speaker 19 you take the lumps.

Speaker 18 The slow burden.

Speaker 1 It also depends on how you go. Oh, keep in mind, like, if you're doing something that is expressly against your contract.

Speaker 13 Yeah, I don't do anything like

Speaker 24 no bungee jumping for me.

Speaker 19 You're not going to have a contract with the state lottery. Like, if you, if you.

Speaker 30 No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I mean, you're right. I'm sorry.
I thought I was doing the Otani thing.

Speaker 4 My bad. Yeah.

Speaker 19 Like, I think if you win, I think that I read one time, if you win, like, $10,000, like the, you know, lottery for life or whatever, one of those where it's like $10,000 a week for the rest of your life, I think that it's like the rest of your life or 30 years or something.

Speaker 19 And if you die before 30 years, someone else will get it for the 30 years. But if you live longer than the 30, you have to assign someone else.

Speaker 25 You have to keep getting it.

Speaker 19 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 25 Right, like a family person.

Speaker 19 Who will actually assign a young person that you think will live?

Speaker 4 Jeremy, you guessed it.

Speaker 19 You would give it to Jeremy.

Speaker 18 Really?

Speaker 19 Who would waste the money worse, Jeremy or Chris?

Speaker 20 I think we know that question.

Speaker 19 Well, I mean, but Jeremy would waste it on charity. You would waste it on fun stuff.

Speaker 4 That's right. That's right.

Speaker 13 Dude, I would waste so much fun.

Speaker 20 Does anybody else always keep an unchecked lottery ticket in their car just to have the hope of, hey, I might be riding on a million bucks right now?

Speaker 29 Just an activity.

Speaker 4 Don't know it.

Speaker 20 Probably not. But if I check it, it's going to be amazing.

Speaker 1 Apparently, you can be incarcerated, and depending on the state, most states allow for the lottery payments to continue to an incarcerated one.

Speaker 24 We know Florida allows it.

Speaker 13 We're not one of the ones that's like, nope, too much.

Speaker 25 But you're in prison.

Speaker 20 Yeah, what are you going to do with all that?

Speaker 32 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 11 Can I tell you something? I don't know, it was maybe like a month ago, and I decided to watch Pitch Clock. And I told Jeremy, Stugats, this is a good show you're doing.

Speaker 32 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 11 Does everyone here play lottery every now and then?

Speaker 13 No, it's got to be like 500 minutes.

Speaker 21 I play it all the time. I never play lottery.
I love a good scratch. I don't believe in it.
It's got to be. It's never going to win.

Speaker 13 I have to see it in the news of how big it is.

Speaker 20 No,

Speaker 20 man, my dad has influenced me in the weirdest ways. Whenever I drive long distances, you have Menger Daddy issues.

Speaker 20 Probably.

Speaker 20 Stugats, I think you would follow me on this. Whenever I see some hole-in-the-wall gas station in some town called Odala, Banks, you feel like that's where the winning ticket is.

Speaker 4 That's where the winning ticket is. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 I like them.

Speaker 28 You got to search around.

Speaker 25 Listen, they're not in Parkland. I can tell you that.

Speaker 26 But you get to pick your numbers.

Speaker 30 No, no, that's not how it works.

Speaker 19 This guy doesn't get it. He doesn't play.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 There's been a few in that Los Angeles area recently, but I like driving through a town and

Speaker 1 thinking, like, this sounds like a lottery winner town.

Speaker 18 That's the dream.

Speaker 19 That's the dream is you go and you buy a ticket abroad somewhere, like in a different state or whatever, and that's where you win.

Speaker 19 And then, like, no one down here in South Florida is like, oh, someone won in South Carolina. It's like, well, I don't know anyone in South Carolina.

Speaker 30 And boom, it was.

Speaker 23 That's why I don't play. I don't know anyone that's ever won.

Speaker 19 No, but when you're driving through South Carolina, you buy the winning ticket there. Right.
You go, you claim it there.

Speaker 19 No one here in South Florida knows you, assumes you bought a ticket in South Carolina. It's the perfect crime.
No one's going to know that you won.

Speaker 20 And if you keep the unchecked ticket in your car the entire time, right? And then you hear on the news, oh, there's an unacclaimed $10 million prize in South Carolina.

Speaker 4 You're like,

Speaker 4 that could be me.

Speaker 29 And then you check your ticket and you're a millionaire.

Speaker 11 But then do you have to go back to the state?

Speaker 4 Is that like a hassle for the $10 million asset?

Speaker 12 If you don't want to do that, you can leave it.

Speaker 28 I don't want to go back to South Carolina for $10 million.

Speaker 1 You got to go back to Columbia, South Carolina.

Speaker 4 That's something going on.

Speaker 1 $500 million.

Speaker 20 I'll never sell it in Columbia.

Speaker 19 What if you win Lilato, Izzy, and you have like a million-dollar ticket, not like the main prize, but you win like one of those, like, oh, you got all the numbers but the powerball.

Speaker 20 You have like a million-dollar ticket that you just haven't checked and eventually you tossed it out or like expired after 90 days or whatever like how would you yeah no you never toss it out I have this dream right they expire do they yeah I think so you only have a certain amount of time to claim it of course okay well I got to check that date so I will put expiration dates I'll put alerts on my calendar but I have a dream do you know the little the little checked things right where you can just boop do the little barcode and it tells you what you won well I have I don't think those things are set up to say you've just won one million dollars I think it'll say see cashier and so every time that I get one and it's just like kind of messed up and it says C cashier, I'm just like, is this the one?

Speaker 20 Is this the one? And it's just like, no, there's nothing there.

Speaker 1 Powerball and mega millions usually give you 180 days to a year, depending on the state that you're in.

Speaker 1 Most state lotteries give you between 90 days and one year.

Speaker 11 Hold on a second. How could they give you up to a year if sometimes you have to split it with other people?

Speaker 4 I don't know how that's going to be.

Speaker 18 That's your business.

Speaker 4 Hang on.

Speaker 27 No, it's not your business because you have to split the total.

Speaker 25 No, but the lottery knows how many winners there are and they know how they have to split it up.

Speaker 2 Oh, okay.

Speaker 25 So the person who won doesn't bring the ticket back, just doesn't get their money.

Speaker 11 So they still have to split it per how many winners there are.

Speaker 26 It's just a matter of whether you're in a closed place.

Speaker 1 Which is a scam.

Speaker 20 If you did win the lottery and have to share it, check in a year later. Hey, did those other folks claim their prize? Because if not, it's got to come to me.

Speaker 26 What are you doing with the rest of that loot?

Speaker 11 Can't just go to waste.

Speaker 6 I love Izzy always thinking he has a chance.

Speaker 26 I mean, that's what life is, right?

Speaker 20 You always want to have hope. Just keep it in your car.

Speaker 14 Don't check it.

Speaker 13 I know it's like state-run, but like somebody in the lotto that's like got the, like, they play the lotto, right? Just if they win it, then they don't have to give any money out.

Speaker 10 What?

Speaker 24 I don't know if. Follow me here.

Speaker 4 I don't know if they're right.

Speaker 25 If you work for the lottery, you could play the lottery.

Speaker 13 If I was like, let's say I'm the house, and it's like, okay, if you win the lottery, I think they made a movie about it.

Speaker 20 I think this is why you haven't met any lottery winners because it's only the people who work in lottery and they don't actually share the money with anybody else.

Speaker 13 I'm just, I'm on to you, lotto.

Speaker 11 So yesterday, this is a true story. All right.
I'm surprised it's taking me this long to bring it up.

Speaker 21 I ordered Uber Eats yesterday, and I got a little bit of a problem.

Speaker 31 Thai?

Speaker 20 For yourself or for the family? Were you doing that?

Speaker 11 Just for myself. It was one of those nights.
Well, I don't know if you heard, but my son, he dipped last night. He went on his own and went to the Taco Bell drive-thru.

Speaker 18 All right.

Speaker 11 What did you get? Upon running away.

Speaker 6 Thai food.

Speaker 4 Now, I don't order Thai food through Uber Eats.

Speaker 18 Okay.

Speaker 2 I order straight away.

Speaker 4 Strangers at the place. All right.

Speaker 11 But I ordered Uber Eats last night.

Speaker 14 Chipotle.

Speaker 11 All right. Order Chipotle.

Speaker 1 Was this because your son went to a Taco Bell and you're like, I want a more upscale upscale concept.

Speaker 25 One upped them.

Speaker 2 No, this was before.

Speaker 6 Did you get that Adobe Ranch for you?

Speaker 11 This was earlier in the night.

Speaker 19 Do you consider that running away from home? Like, if you relive this story in five years, you say, remember that time he ran away from home?

Speaker 11 No, he went to his friend's house to play poker.

Speaker 23 Like, he didn't run away from home. Poker.

Speaker 4 Wow. Who is this?

Speaker 19 Gambling, too. Jeez, Louise.

Speaker 20 This kid seems awesome.

Speaker 23 Anyway.

Speaker 22 So I ordered it. So much cooler than dad.

Speaker 11 I ordered Uber Eats last night from Chipotle. Got myself like the crux of my order.
I got a quesadilla. All right.
And in the way that they deliver the quesadilla to you, it's like a uh, it's

Speaker 11 what's in not a tray, but the thing with like the three things in it.

Speaker 1 Yes, you ordered this for you, and not for a 60. What you ate?

Speaker 11 Okay, anyway, not the point. It's steak and chicken.
That's a good meal. What's the matter with you?

Speaker 27 You go bowler burrito.

Speaker 4 It's just a shit.

Speaker 2 It comes with that honey final burrito, right?

Speaker 11 Okay, can you just listen to the story? My God.

Speaker 11 So it's in the packaging, whatever, you know, and Jeremy's right, where it's got the quesadilla, and then there's like these three slots for sides.

Speaker 31 If you love that part, yeah, rice, I go queso, and that third one's a wild card.

Speaker 13 Sometimes I go pico, sometimes I go sour cream.

Speaker 11 We had rice, and I had cheese, and I had sour cream.

Speaker 27 Those were the three sides.

Speaker 22 Okay, it's great, that's fire, right?

Speaker 14 Except the order comes, I open up the package,

Speaker 11 there's no quesadilla.

Speaker 4 Oh my god, that's what's terrible.

Speaker 22 The sour cream is there.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's bad.

Speaker 22 The rice is there, Mm-hmm.

Speaker 20 The sides are there. Right.

Speaker 23 There's no quesadilla.

Speaker 23 It's not there.

Speaker 31 Right.

Speaker 19 How long was it at your door?

Speaker 4 Are you on Afghanistan? You got it immediately. I don't know.
Maybe your kid went and ate your dinner and they ran it back.

Speaker 30 These kids running rampant in your house. Who knows?

Speaker 11 There's no quesadilla.

Speaker 20 So what'd you do?

Speaker 11 Well, here's the problem. There's no like phone number you call for Uber Eats.
You go on the app and it's like they got all these questions, you know?

Speaker 22 It's like, what's the problem with your order?

Speaker 11 And then they have like a list of things. And okay, so obviously I click on, you know, missing items.

Speaker 11 And again, there's no one you could speak to. And so they click on missing items, quesadilla, nowhere to be found.

Speaker 11 And like, I didn't order sour cream for dinner and eventually get a message back, not even long later. It only took like 20 minutes.
Get a message. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Speaker 25 Your food's cold already.

Speaker 19 I mean, they gave me.

Speaker 11 Well, I don't know if the food's cold. That's the point, Stu Gots.
I don't have the food.

Speaker 13 This has happened a lot to me and my wife's great at this she gets something in that app and all of a sudden we get like 28 bucks back so I get the credit

Speaker 1 they give me back two dollars oh my god no way been there how often have you complained about uber eats because that also plays into their algo I have complained but it's been a long time sometimes that plays into their algo like that's why it's a dangerous game is this an account that cries wolf potentially that is bs though sometimes they'll what i can't call anyone one of the worst things that they do is okay we'll give you a refund for the missing quesadilla but we're still gonna charge you for the sour cream.

Speaker 1 As if I just want to eat the sour cream, sill, I need the quesadilla to justify the sour cream

Speaker 22 doesn't help like you get that credit back.

Speaker 13 I mean, two dollars stinks, but even if you get all you get twenty dollars back, you're like, I'm still not happy.

Speaker 19 Yeah, wait, they refunded you plus two dollars?

Speaker 2 They gave me back two dollars, just two dollars.

Speaker 19 How much did it cost?

Speaker 11 It was probably like 16.

Speaker 22 So, did you say, hey, we're short here?

Speaker 27 That's the point.

Speaker 11 There's nowhere to call.

Speaker 19 Well, hit them up, whoever you'd spoke to before.

Speaker 22 No, that's the end of it.

Speaker 11 There's nothing else.

Speaker 20 There is no call.

Speaker 29 Expensive fees.

Speaker 29 Help me up.

Speaker 4 I'll source. I've got a number for you.

Speaker 20 Uber one, a little trick you don't know about.

Speaker 20 You actually speak to human beings and they do everything for you that way.

Speaker 20 But here's the worst possible situation. You got Uber Eats delivery.

Speaker 29 I did Uber Eats pickup, okay?

Speaker 20 And

Speaker 4 I go there.

Speaker 4 Well, I was driving home.

Speaker 19 You just want to pay idiot fees is what you're doing.

Speaker 4 Just call a restaurant. I've done it before.

Speaker 5 That's a good idea. You guys are.

Speaker 4 Oh, boy.

Speaker 20 I was driving home.

Speaker 20 And I was just going to scoop in and pick it up, okay? And so I ordered some things and it's a place I go all the time. In fact, a few people there, if they see me, they'd go, hey, how you doing?

Speaker 18 Book a flight on Expedia too? I mean,

Speaker 20 I don't check the bag if it's a pickup order, if it's a place I trust. I just go home with it.

Speaker 26 Well, normally they have the sticker too on the bag.

Speaker 20 Yeah, the sticker's supposed to tell you what's in there, right? So I get home. I got a chicken teaser salad.

Speaker 11 No chicken.

Speaker 20 They forgot to put the chicken on the side, but it's a pickup order, Zaz. I can't just go in there and say, oh, missing item.

Speaker 5 They're like, you picked it up. You're supposed to check yourself.

Speaker 20 And so I write them a little note and says, we'll get back to you. They never got back to me.
I just checked my wallet, still empty. It's a scam.

Speaker 21 A good restaurant will go through the boxes for you.

Speaker 25 Flanagan's, every single time I go to a Flanagan's, they make sure and they show me, Mike knows this, all my food is there.

Speaker 4 It's a lot of popular circumstances. And also, I'm like, you don't have to.

Speaker 2 Veteran. Don't release the heat.

Speaker 9 That's a part of my.

Speaker 18 No, no, no, no, I don't want to check.

Speaker 1 I trust you guys.

Speaker 11 Sugats, quick conclusion of the story. I mean, the Uber driver ate my quesadilla, right?

Speaker 20 Yeah. Just the tortilla.

Speaker 5 Like, there's no way that Chipotle packed it without the quesadilla.

Speaker 6 That seems impossible.

Speaker 4 What was he? Ate?

Speaker 13 Yeah, I don't. I think they just screwed up.

Speaker 19 What'd you do? Do you order again?

Speaker 30 Like, well,

Speaker 4 it's like

Speaker 20 a bad like son kicked them out of the microwave grilled cheese or something?

Speaker 13 Or mac and cheese?

Speaker 32 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 34 The elephant went into a 7-Eleven and bought a pack of cigarettes. But my question to Ron is this.

Speaker 20 Stugats.

Speaker 19 That joke didn't really land the way you wanted it to, did it?

Speaker 1 And we all just stared at it.

Speaker 4 This is the Don Lebatard show with the Stugats.

Speaker 11 Let's bring aboard Ron McGill here. Ron, how you doing? Have you ever had issues with your Uber Eats order like that?

Speaker 35 I have never done an Uber Eats order in my life.

Speaker 12 Wow.

Speaker 21 Whoa, what you DoorDash guy? What's the deal?

Speaker 35 No, I got a wife who cooks so amazingly well, has amazing food all the time.

Speaker 31 What is that?

Speaker 12 Old school.

Speaker 22 What is that like?

Speaker 35 That's living the dream, brother.

Speaker 20 So the Uber Eats app is not even on your phone. You don't even have a section of your phone for food delivery.

Speaker 35 Nothing for food delivery at all.

Speaker 14 You don't, you've never done takeout?

Speaker 4 Rhonda cooks.

Speaker 35 You know, the takeout that I've done is we've got this,

Speaker 35 you know, little truck restaurant who does this incredible

Speaker 12 food truck.

Speaker 35 Food truck, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 35 But does this incredible turrasco and picana steak? Oh, my God. So every now and then I'll say, listen, I'll go get it.

Speaker 35 But she'll cook like, you know, the incredible side dishes and stuff, and I'll go get the steak.

Speaker 20 Why did we settle for food truck as a way to describe it? It should be a truck restaurant.

Speaker 4 Awesome. Her name is Rita.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I mean, I thought.

Speaker 27 Ron, why didn't you collect him? Why'd you let him do that?

Speaker 35 Listen, I'm just old and old school, you know, so I've done, but I do use Uber all the time when I travel. Uber comfort.
Uber comfort. Don't talk to me, and I want it cool.
That's all I ask for.

Speaker 23 Ron,

Speaker 11 one of the guys that works here, Ethan, brought his dog to work last week, and the dog was limping around, and we all felt terrible.

Speaker 11 And Ethan was kind of a deadbeat dog owner, and he didn't do anything about it until, you know, God knows when. he took the dog to the vet.
The dog tore its ACL. All right.

Speaker 11 Turned out the, look, you can see in the video now, dog is limping, not putting any pressure on its back left leg. It tore its ACL earlier in the day.

Speaker 35 It's worse than limping, man. It's not putting any weight on it.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 31 Immediate go to the vet.

Speaker 11 So what, like, what is the, what happens to a dog with a torn ACL? Is it like a cast? Is it an operation? What do you do?

Speaker 35 Yeah, there is an operation for it. I mean, it's an orthopedic surgery, just like you would do on a human being.
It's very costly.

Speaker 35 And the recovery is a bigger challenge, of course, because you can't tell the dog, listen, you can't do this, you can't do that.

Speaker 35 So they come up with different types of braces or casts or whatever necessary to isolate that for proper healing.

Speaker 20 Now, this is the second consecutive dog that Ethan has had torn his or her ACL. Is there something that the owner is doing for this pattern of injury?

Speaker 35 I think it's time to file a report with, you know, doggy services to find out what's going on there because

Speaker 35 I've never had a dog, and I've had dogs all my life tearing ACL. I don't know what he's doing with these dogs.

Speaker 19 If you're the vet and you see someone bring in the dog that's an incredible

Speaker 19 pain, torn ACL, and you have to choose, do I euthanize the dog or do I euthanize the human? Which would you choose?

Speaker 20 It's Sophie's choice.

Speaker 2 Billy, please.

Speaker 20 It's a good question.

Speaker 1 It's easy, right?

Speaker 12 Billy Stugat squirrel.

Speaker 35 I don't euthanize either one of them. I treat it and I try to heal the dog.

Speaker 19 Nailed it.

Speaker 11 Ron, I got a video for you here. All right.
This video, there's a crab. All right.
And apparently this crab is going to amputate its own claw.

Speaker 23 I'm afraid of crabs. I don't go near crabs.

Speaker 11 But take a look at this and tell me what's going on here. All right.
So it's, yeah, look at that. It's like going to chomp up.
Whoa!

Speaker 10 No!

Speaker 10 Whoa!

Speaker 4 Just straight up ripped off its own. Why would it do that?

Speaker 1 As if it were a fake limb.

Speaker 35 You know, now, I know that crabs have the ability, of course, to regenerate their claws.

Speaker 35 And listen, I don't profess to be a crab expert here, but maybe I'm speculating that it saw a potential predator heading its way and he said, listen, I'm going to leave you a bone and leave me alone.

Speaker 35 You know, lizards do that with their tails. If they get threatened, they can actually shed their tail.

Speaker 35 The tail stays there and the animal goes after the tail and eats the tail and the lizard gets away.

Speaker 35 The crab may have looked at this as a way to, you know, deter the focus of a predator and, you know, focus it on the claw and he can get away.

Speaker 20 That's brilliant. So you just like have snacks in your pockets while you're running away from predators.

Speaker 30 Here, here's a snack.

Speaker 4 That's a heady play. It's delicious.

Speaker 35 Izzy, that's a great analogy, Izzy. That's a great analogy.
What you're doing is you're setting bait to deter the attention off of, you know, a fatal attack.

Speaker 11 Man, I feel like the crab there, it's almost like he holds up his,

Speaker 11 is it an arm or a leg, Ron?

Speaker 23 What should I call it?

Speaker 35 It's a claw.

Speaker 31 Okay, neither.

Speaker 11 He holds up his claw, and it's almost like he shows like, hey, look what I got over here, guys. And then he, and then he snaps it off.

Speaker 13 Man, we're giving this dumb crab a lot of credit.

Speaker 18 Right.

Speaker 35 Well, it appeared that way. But listen, you know, there are things that are associated with intelligence and there are things that are associated with instinct.

Speaker 35 And that might simply just be an instinct for survival.

Speaker 11 All right, I got another video for you here, Ron. Show me this.
So there's an animal sanctuary worker and an alligator. And it leads this alligator on a chase to show what happens when a gator...

Speaker 11 gets used to being fed by humans.

Speaker 21 All right.

Speaker 11 Now, let's take a look at this here. All right.

Speaker 21 So there you got the Gator, you got the person. They're only like a few feet away.

Speaker 20 I thought Ron was the one that was supposed to do the first one.

Speaker 4 All right, cool. Take it away, Ron.
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 What's up?

Speaker 35 Yeah, it's exactly what he's doing here. This is an alligator that's obviously been accustomed to being fed by this person.
Guy's got a little stick in his hand.

Speaker 35 This is probably the way, or it's a girl, actually,

Speaker 35 who actually, you know, feeds him all the time this way. And that's what he's doing.
He's just responding to the feeding. See, and then she throws the food.
So she just reinforces it, for God's sake.

Speaker 35 So, you know, I don't know what they're trying to prove here. This is that Gator Boys thing, which, you know, a lot of times just can be a little extreme sometimes.

Speaker 35 This is videos for clicks. This is what I call videos for clicks.

Speaker 20 Ron, I was at a rental house in Orlando that had that sort of man-made body of water behind it. And there was an alligator, a crocodile, I couldn't tell the difference in the water.

Speaker 20 And there's neighbors of these rental houses going toward the water with their children to check it out and point at it.

Speaker 20 Everybody at our house stayed inside. Ron, should you ever go out and, hey, look at the alligators if you're not from Florida.
This is a message for everybody not from Florida. I know this answer.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Ron.

Speaker 13 You muted yourself. I'm going to pretend I know what you're saying.

Speaker 35 But the bottom line is, I got the point. You should not go up to the shoreline where there's an alligator.
You can observe an alligator from a distance. 25, 30 feet.

Speaker 35 If you keep that distance, you should be okay. An alligator is not going to come out of the water after you if you stay 25, 30 feet away from the water's edge.

Speaker 11 Like Israel, I can never tell the difference. I know crocodile alligator, one's pointy and the other one's flat.
But can you you give me like a way that I will remember?

Speaker 11 Like, is there a wording that I'll always, so I'll never forget? Can you tell me?

Speaker 35 Just color, basically color. Crocodiles tend to be an olive green, alligators are black.
So, you know, that's, that's a giveaway right away.

Speaker 35 Also, a crocodile's eyes will tend to be that, that kind of a light green color. Alligator eyes tend to be dark brown to black.

Speaker 35 You know,

Speaker 35 the shape of the snout is U-shaped alligator, V-shaped crocodile. I don't know what kind of association you use there, but I just color, color.

Speaker 4 Okay, but hold on a second. If I don't see color,

Speaker 35 then you're screwed.

Speaker 11 Okay, but hold on a second. Like, Israel, okay, Ron is saying that a crocodile will be green, alligator will be more black.
Florida Gators, like the mascot is green.

Speaker 20 Yeah, that's a misnomer. Yeah.

Speaker 35 Yeah, yeah, that is, that is a misnomer.

Speaker 11 So the mascot for the Gators should be black?

Speaker 30 Yeah. I feel like we should talk to the president of the U.S.

Speaker 31 audience.

Speaker 4 That's a proc.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 10 Actually, it should be.

Speaker 12 And

Speaker 35 I'm a proud Florida gator, but yes, to have an alligator green is a total misnomer. Crocodiles are green.

Speaker 26 It's kind of, I got to be honest with you.

Speaker 27 It's kind of a shock.

Speaker 12 Florida Crocs.

Speaker 35 Learn something new every day on this wonderful podcast.

Speaker 11 Got another one for you here, Ron. All right.
So here's a leopard, and it's going to catch a crocodile.

Speaker 14 All right. A leopard is.

Speaker 18 What Ron do it?

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 35 I'm sure that this is a jaguar catching a caiman.

Speaker 35 Yes, that's what this is. This is a jaguar catching a caiman.
I actually saw this happen in Brazil in the Pantanal.

Speaker 35 This is a, I'm not going to say it's a common occurrence, but it's not terribly rare.

Speaker 35 These jaguars have learned how to catch caiman, and they do so. You can see a string of these videos.
You'll actually see the video of the actual catch.

Speaker 35 You'll see them jumping in the water, lunging, going underwater, and pulling this thing out of the water. It's pretty incredible.

Speaker 11 Is that crocodile still alive in that moment?

Speaker 35 Yes, that caiman is still alive in that moment. Jaguars have one of the most powerful bites of any of the big cats, especially for ratio to their weight.

Speaker 35 And what they do is they instinctively would bite the back of the neck and they'll sever the spinal cord so the animal can no longer fight.

Speaker 11 Why are jaguars so good at that?

Speaker 14 Like how they're just born being able to do that?

Speaker 35 They have adapted living. You know, they're one of the few cats that like the water.
They jump in the water. They swim all the time.

Speaker 35 I've got you know, images of these jaguars swimming across the rivers there and the Pontanal. And they will hunt fish.
They will hunt caiman and incredibly adapt swimmers. swimmers.

Speaker 35 They enjoy the water and they're very well structured for living that water life.

Speaker 25 Ron, which animal has the most powerful bite?

Speaker 35 I believe it's a crocodile. I believe it's a saltwater crocodile has the most powerful bite.
I know in the mammal world, I think it's a hyena. A hyena is the only

Speaker 35 predator that has the power and the two structure to actually break through elephant bone to eat the morrow. So I believe that's a hyena.
But, you know, don't hold me to that.

Speaker 35 That's just what I believe. I think it's the hyena mammal and the crocodile overall.

Speaker 35 It's

Speaker 35 1,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.

Speaker 13 What about the hippo chomp?

Speaker 35 The hippo is also very powerful. I'm not sure exactly what the...
the ratio is, but it's a very powerful. I have seen a hippo tear a crocodile up.

Speaker 35 So it is a very powerful bite, but I think per square inch, the actual force, I think the crocodile is the most powerful.

Speaker 20 Ron, we have a video of a crab eating a grape, and maybe we can put that up while I'm asking you this question.

Speaker 20 But my favorite videos, perhaps on all of the internet, is a raccoon being friends with a human and then being fed little tiny foods. Now, the best part about it is they do a voiceover on the raccoon.

Speaker 20 That always slaps. But I'm curious, should I be friends with a raccoon? Because I've been scared of them my entire life.

Speaker 35 And you know why does he stay scared of them? Because raccoons

Speaker 35 change in a heartbeat. Those things are like, they can be out of their minds.
People look at raccoons, they have a cute face, but

Speaker 35 they can turn into the little devils. And I mean that wholeheartedly.

Speaker 31 People aren't eating.

Speaker 10 Even if they're eating grapes.

Speaker 35 Even if they're eating grapes.

Speaker 35 And that's that's a crabby they're so adorable when they're eating and they are adorable and you'll see them they take their food and they put it in the water and they rub their hands together very tactile they look like little rabbits little noises you know

Speaker 1 little cute little noises they make too do not befriend raccoons so do i do i need a sage and intervention because my father-in-law has like a pack a family of raccoons that

Speaker 35 come up to the the back patio door and he feeds them and he's of course he feeds them of course he does why they come back yeah he's been doing this for over a year now mike at night if they're there and he opens the door is it just a bunch of eyeballs i hate it because i have a dog that occasionally spends the night over there and i you never know what's back there i hate it listen mike go go on go online and you'll see these raccoons this woman who started feeding two raccoons in her yard and in one week she's got 30 raccoons at her back door i don't like it i don't like it so they're talking to each other and they're like hey i got they do they communicate they say hey listen the buffet is over here okay and they can become real problems now first of all all, raccoons are one of the major carriers of rabies.

Speaker 35 When you have that many animals in one place, they're a spreader of disease, whether it be

Speaker 35 external parasites, fleas, and ticks, whether it be internal parasites, worms, things like that, that they pass through their feces.

Speaker 35 The bottom line is that many animals in one place is not healthy for anybody. So don't feed these wild animals, please.

Speaker 19 Ron, are possums in the same category? Because I saw a possum a couple nights ago in my yard. Like the lights were off, my dogs were outside.

Speaker 4 Is that a possum or an opossum? That's an op possum.

Speaker 2 Both.

Speaker 12 It's both.

Speaker 2 It's both. So is it?

Speaker 11 It's confusing, right, Stew Gods?

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 4 Opossum.

Speaker 35 It's lazy is what it is. People don't want to say opossum, they just go possum.

Speaker 11 It just saves you time.

Speaker 35 But the possum is a much more solitary animal. You won't find possums congregating.

Speaker 35 The only time you see possums together is a mother with a bunch of her, you know, siblings coming out of the pouch or on her back. But they're much more solitary and

Speaker 35 they don't respond like raccoons do to being fed.

Speaker 19 But is it the same fear, like rabies and stuff? Because what happened was the dog, the dog is outside going out, going outside at the night.

Speaker 19 And then I open the door to let the dog in, and I see a possum or an opossum.

Speaker 35 Yeah, the irony is this, Billy.

Speaker 35 Possums, believe it or not, though it's not impossible, it's very improbable that they can catch rabies. Why? Because their body temperature is higher than most other mammals.

Speaker 35 And that body temperature does not allow for rabies to thrive. There you go.
There's a picture of people feeding their freaking raccoons in your life.

Speaker 20 You have to sell this house.

Speaker 11 Ron, what's a dead giveaway for an animal that has rabies?

Speaker 35 There really is no dead giveaway. We've heard the

Speaker 35 common narrative, oh, that's when it's salivating and comes running after you

Speaker 31 tears you up.

Speaker 4 That's not true.

Speaker 35 Well, it can be that. What if it's an animal that looks kind of drunk? It's just kind of wandering around with its head bobbing and kind of falling to the side.

Speaker 35 It looks, you know, terribly inebriated.

Speaker 35 So don't think that just because this animal is not being aggressive, not snarling, or not drooling, that it doesn't have rabies.

Speaker 12 I think my dad has rapped rapies it looked totally normal

Speaker 1 i i at the at my old home in my neighborhood i was walking my dog and to my left there was a raccoon that was out during the daytime displaying these uh these characteristics and i did call animal control is another big red flag if this nocturnal creature is out during the day looking like that call animal control

Speaker 35 yeah call animal control absolutely

Speaker 11 ron excellent job tell us uh all the good things you got going on here.

Speaker 35 Well, we got the zoo camp just finished up because school starts now on Thursday, which is, you know, going to be another headache.

Speaker 35 But we've got, you know, a lot of construction going on here. Pretty soon we're going to be introducing a couple of new animals, new species for the zoo.
I'm not going to really reveal it yet.

Speaker 35 I'll let you know when that happens.

Speaker 35 But listen. There's always stuff happening.
We've got several animals that are pregnant that are going to be hopefully giving birth sometime soon.

Speaker 35 We've got some newly hatched birds going out in the avery. I mean, it's all kinds of stuff happening.
The zoo is never the same thing on every day.

Speaker 25 Give us a hint on the new animals. Like, make a noise.

Speaker 24 Make a noise at the animals.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and we'll try it again.

Speaker 1 Dan.

Speaker 20 Whales.

Speaker 2 You got a whale?

Speaker 35 No. But I can understand why you might think of it, but it's not a whale.

Speaker 29 Let me hear it again. Let me do it one more time.

Speaker 12 Oh, geez.

Speaker 12 Email.

Speaker 12 Baby whale.

Speaker 35 That was my email.

Speaker 10 Sorry about that.

Speaker 4 Good job, Ron.

Speaker 20 Once again, I forgot. It's my bad.
We should have welcomed you in with a happy world lion day two days ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 35 No worries, man, but I appreciate it, Izzy. It makes me know that you care.

Speaker 25 Do the sound again.

Speaker 13 One more time.

Speaker 35 Oh, my God. Guys, there it is.

Speaker 10 Another email. Yeah, I'm really good at that.

Speaker 24 See you, Ron.

Speaker 1 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.

Speaker 2 Cuervo.

Speaker 1 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 1 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think it could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 3 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 1 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 4 Brooksimo, Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
