Can somebody please tell me if Percy is okay?

Please, I've been worried about this dog all weekend.

For those who don't know, Ethan brought his dog last week, I think it was Wednesday, and this dog's left hind leg was not touching the ground.

This dog was clearly injured, and we have some video of Ethan walking it around.

I don't want to look directly at the TV because it makes me very sad to hear.

Oh, but he's so upset.

He's upset.

He's crying right now.

It's very disturbing and I would like to know, is Percy okay?

Can somebody please tell me?

Percy, it was very obvious to everyone as you're looking right now, seeing a dog walking just on three of its four legs.

Why not carry that dog from the garage to the office?

What's the matter with you?

Very clearly in pain hanging around the office.

Very clearly needs its leg amputated.

And everyone was telling Ethan this, and he was kind of like a low-playing it.

Like, yeah, nah, it's a.

He was insisting that the dog's tail was wagging, so it was fine, never mind that it wasn't putting any pressure on this leg or jumping on anything, which dogs are prone to do.

I can diagnose what's wrong with that dog.

Oh, let's hear this.

Just from seeing that video.

I'm being serious here.

The dog has a thorn

in its left rear foot.

That was one of the popular theories, but I'm here to actually tell you what was wrong.

Or a torn ACL.

It's a torn ACL.

Ah, you're right.

Good job, Doc.

Okay.

I mean, I knew it was one or the other.

So Ethan brought this dog.

Did he feel bad?

I hope so.

I genuinely hope so, because he should have felt bad.

That dog was very clearly injured.

And, you know, I would like to think that you could rule out a thorn quickly if you're Ethan, because that's the first thing everybody looks for.

There was something hanging off the back of Percy's back leg.

It looked like,

you know, this was a serious issue.

Not to Ethan.

Ethan still made it run obstacles here in this office.

Ethan would have been more upset if Percy Harvin, the name, the person that this dog was named after, would have been forced to play with an injury less significant than this one.

But his dog, nah, you're good.

The name is the most annoying part for me.

Yeah.

I like the name.

Doesn't look like a person.

Especially because it's a girl.

I will say, you know, I have two dogs, and every now and then one of them will hurt their leg or maybe their back or whatever, you know, and they'll be limping or it'll be ginger for a day.

But after a day or so, if it's not starting to get better, I will take them to our vet.

Ethan was

not concerned whatsoever.

Like, I don't have a problem with him not taking the dog right away, but it's like, nah, nah, it's fine.

Matter of fact, let me bring it to a place where it never goes.

He left the dog with, what, a brother's girlfriend or something?

Like some third or fourth string friend.

Ethan's in charge of writing with the topics out and he just wrote one down.

Did you just write down they crush me?

They call me a terrible person.

Can you hold up that note?

Oh, it just says Percy.

Okay, I just wanted to see like they call me terrible.

And you are,

okay.

Is Percy okay is the topic?

Is she okay, Ethan?

Give me two thumbs up if she's okay.

One if you're lying.

Yeah.

Is Tony's okay?

All right, so like, do you feel better now?

You are very choked up.

If we get video of Percy relaxing in a bed, maybe being fed treats with her paws up in the air, then I'll feel a lot better about it.

But right now, I'm still imagining him treating his dog like shit, walking around in a cast all day.

Well, if it makes you feel any better not to put his business out there, but now they're on the topic of Percy, and you know, this is a proper journalism show.

He left Percy behind, as someone mentioned, while he went to play around in Gainesville, Florida.

And I don't think he has seen Percy since he has been back.

So he is saying Percy's okay without having actually visited or seen Percy

since returning.

I know when your kid breaks a leg, you take a trip to Gainesville.

Well, that was part, I think, what was at play of like, Percy's fine, Percy's fine, because he knew he was going to Gaines.

He was like, Percy's fine, don't worry about that.

And I don't think he listened to anyone until David Sampson was like, Ethan, I don't like dogs.

That dog is not doing well.

You need to help that dog.

And then he also said something along the lines of, you need to take that dog in.

They may put down that dog.

Which is like, that's not the motivation to get him to take Percy in.

Did Ethan actually listen to us or did the person that is watching Percy

take the dog in?

Wow.

Ethan should just take the dog.

Did Ethan not actually take Percy to the vet himself?

No.

Oh my God.

I think Percy might need a new owner.

Yeah.

Take the dog.

So, Ethan, you're on, just you took it?

You took Percy?

I don't believe you.

I would be way more vigorous in my own self-defense.

Are you sure it wasn't telehealth?

You took this dog in?

Get Ethan.

You know what?

He's probably loving this.

He sacrificed his dog's ACL just to get.

Well, what do you do for a dog's ACL?

Does it wear a cast?

Like, what happens?

I don't know.

I don't know what it is.

Well, we'll get answers to all of our questions right now.

You know what, let me just say this.

Dogs do very well with three legs.

I have a three-legged dog on the next street from me.

Oh, yeah.

It walks in front of my house all the time on a leash.

Happy as a lark.

Also, was she menstruating?

Was that?

What?

It's a great question you have to ask whenever a woman tears her ACL.

It's a joke.

It's a sexist joke.

It's not funny.

Let's get Ethan over here, too.

There he is.

Okay.

There are so many falsehoods that have been spoken about this situation over the last five minutes.

Don't get nervous.

That's just sitting out there just like, first of all, let's all be very clear.

I love my dog.

That dog is my life.

I love her very much.

Doesn't prove you.

I had to bring my dog in

to work

on Wednesday.

As soon as, like, you know, the child services services show up, that's usually what they say first.

I had to bring my dog into work on Wednesday because I was going to Gainesville for the weekend and I was leaving her with my brother's girlfriend.

On the way in, obviously, her limp was bad.

It was not good.

But you weren't concerned.

Nah, you didn't come off.

Here's why I wasn't too concerned, Zaslow.

She ate the night when she got hurt.

She ate the morning of.

As a pet owner,

she pooped fine.

That's a big concern.

Did she poop fine?

She was pooping fine.

That is totally normal.

She was behaving normally.

She was here.

She was jumping on the couch.

Happy to see.

She's not jumping on the couch.

She jumped on the couch multiple times.

She was happy.

She should not have been jumping on the couch, but I

thought that was a good sign.

Say again.

You punished her for jumping on the couch for being a bad girl.

No, she's a good girl.

She's the best girl.

Being bad.

I don't know.

He did have a minor freak out because it's just speaking kind of like the state of this place here.

Percy was in the kitchen walking around the fridge.

I saw this.

He's like, did Percy just throw up on the floor?

Some yogurt or something like that.

And then it was like 20 seconds.

Nah, I spilled that.

And then he just walked away.

So anyway.

I had to take her to my brother's.

Obviously, I was concerned.

It had been about 24 hours since she had gotten hurt.

So I was like, it's probably time to take her to the vet.

Then I'm here in the office and everybody's calling me an abusive dog owner, saying I kicked the dog.

It's not how it is.

Negligent.

It's not

true.

It's not negligent at at all.

Not true at all.

Obviously, I love my dog.

I take very, very good care of her.

So, guess what I did after the show?

I took her to the vet.

But would you have taken her to the vet if you didn't get all the clothes?

Yes, this is the best.

I would have liked, yes, I was going to take her.

That's the part of his misremember.

I did not get shamed into taking her to the vet.

I had been discussing with my mom

before I even got into work.

Who's going to pay the bill?

Do you think I should take her to the vet after work today?

If I'm remembering that day correctly,

you were almost, I would say, offended that we were so concerned about your dog.

No, I appreciated the concern for my dog, of course.

Let me see a text with your mom.

I'll find them.

I don't believe you.

He did kind of hint at, oh, if we're going to go to the vet, they're going to do all these tests.

It's going to be a little bit more difficult.

So here's what happened.

So I took her to the vet.

It cost me $450.

But

that would pay.

Yes, of course.

Of course.

No problem whatsoever.

The dog is your life, you said earlier.

The dog is my life.

I love Percy very much.

I just got a note in my ear, too much Ethan.

I mean, any Ethan is too much Ethan.

But they told me she might have a torn ACL.

They can't confirm it.

Okay, let's fast forward to the end of the story.

How do you recover from an ACL?

Does the dog have to wear a cast?

Well, I don't know what they're going to have to do.

I don't know if they're going to have to give her surgery or we had a dog with a torn ACL previously.

She

we opted not for her, not to have the surgery.

You put her down?

No, we did not put the dog down.

She lived a long happy wonderful life

She just didn't run as around as much time Thank you Ethan.

Yep.

All right I'm on the hockey show Ethan see you bye get out of here.

There's no end to that story.

There you go

So maybe we don't know what's gonna happen to the dog is Ethan okay now that sounded like he hurt himself tune into mystery crate to hear the rest of that.

Oh God

The Dan Libertar show with Stu Gotts is sponsored by Liquid IV.

All right, so I'm trying to soak up the last little bits of summer while raising a six-month-old baby.

Let me tell you, being a dad to a baby that loves waking up around three o'clock in the morning every single day is exhausting.

And I find myself in the middle of the night parched like

but I found the trick.

It's liquid IV.

Oh guys, this is a pros pro move right here.

Are you ready?

What I do is I take liquid IV stick, 16 ounces of water, mix it together, more on that in a second, put that by my bedside, little cube of ice inside, then three in the morning diaper change.

Guess what, daddy's got?

An ice cold liquid IV.

And I'm very excited about this new flavor.

Liquid IV's Orange Vanilla Dream.

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, simply safe 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.

Simply Safe helps stop it before that happens.

Don Lebatard.

Billy's got a conundrum here.

He's got a dog now and he doesn't know how to socialize with other dog owners.

Stugats.

Dogs, Dan.

I don't know if you're aware of dogs.

Dogs like to smell each other and kind of like socialize and all that stuff.

So then I'm holding on to a leash with my dog on it while another owner is doing the same thing, and I don't know how to interact with this owner in this case.

Like, hey, you know, my dog

likes your dog's butt smell.

As you guys know, I'm not good at small talk.

So, like, this is a nightmare for me because what do I talk to these other dog owners about?

I experienced this exact same thing with my kid at a park.

It's the same thing.

Kids and dogs are basically the same.

Same exactly.

We're on the pole at Lebatar Show.

Are kids and dogs basically the same?

Because my two-year-old wants to run over and play with other kids and all of a sudden I'm standing there and our two kids are kind of chasing each other and we're like, hey, yeah, there's our kids.

How about that?

This is the Don Lebatar show with his two guys.

So did you guys see over the weekend the the New England Patriots?

They did a little ceremony.

There was preseason football all over the league.

Did you see this, Greg?

They had a ceremony outside the stadium because they have a new statue.

They put up a new statue.

It is of Tom Brady.

I saw that.

I saw that.

And it's not nearly as bad as the Dwayne Wade statue, but it's not great.

Like, why can't these statue makers have a better likeness facially?

I don't.

Where are we with statues?

Now I, because I'm guilty of it too.

Anytime a statue is getting unveiled, I expect it to be weird and I expect this whole online discourse.

This was a perfectly fine statue.

Totally fine.

It was standard.

Your classic.

His face though.

Statue.

Look, if anything, I'm more concerned about Tom Brady's actual face

than the statue's face.

The statue looks more like Tom Brady than Tom Brady does presently because he's doing that weird thing, that weird like LA Hollywood producer 80-year-old thing where they just dye their hair really dark and they wear really big sunglasses.

The Bob Evans, if you will.

He's starting to get there.

The face actually looks great.

The question is, is the head too small?

He's got a little bit of a Betelgeuse thing going on.

Yeah, pin head.

I mean, he's got the shoulder pads on right now, and this actually represents a hairline that was done before, well, after one transplant.

I happen to think he's had several.

But he's got the little entrades that we all came to know and love during his Patriots days.

It is interesting, though.

Like, I guess it's because he's calling games for Fox, but I don't know.

This ceremony's for preseason game number one.

It's a little bit anti-climatic.

Is he doing the like end of breakfast club?

Like, has he done this?

Is this a Brady pose?

You know, the End of Breakfast Club

walk in, like, the football field.

Is this a known Brady thing?

He walks off the field.

Yeah, that's.

I would have gone with...

There's one image.

The thing where he's like, left LFG.

I mean, I would have gone with Tuckerl, you know.

There's a

image that I know is kind of lasting that is always the stock footage when people talk about his career, is him putting his hands over his head.

The first Super Bowl.

The first Super Bowl as a confetti is falling down.

He's got the Super Bowl winner.

That would have been a good one.

That gives off like new, shocking.

This is the first time he did it.

You want to give off, I've done this so much.

It pretty much looks easy.

It encapsulates the whole career.

And I don't know if he actually did that, but if he did, it would have made sense.

They probably gave him options, right?

He probably gets an email with, like, here's five things we could do.

What do you like?

Yeah, but the hands-on head says exasperation.

That was one of them, though.

I bet that was sent.

I'll tell you what does bother me.

And this is not the case for Brady.

I mean, Brady, obviously, I mean, come on, statue, Brady, arguably the best behind Marino.

But the whole deal now where we, the conversation isn't, and it's very NBA.

The conversation isn't anymore, should they have their...

Jersey retirement used to be the be-all end-all when you're a legend on your team.

That's the highest honor.

Now,

that's not good enough anymore.

Now it's, they should get a statue.

And I love Udonis Haslam.

I love Udonis Haslam.

He absolutely deserves to have his Jersey retired here.

Udonis Haslam is being talked about.

Have they announced that they're going to do a statue for Udonis?

Statue for UD?

There's Udonis Haslam statue talk.

Are you breaking this?

I think.

No.

No, they're just happening to know.

I don't know, no, no.

I happen to see the online Discord.

It's ridiculous.

It's been a conversation for a while now, basically during like his last year or two, the idea of, hey, there will definitely be a Dwayne Wade statue.

Should there be a Udonis statue?

And I think the overwhelming idea is yes, just not in front of the Miami Arena.

Just somewhere else in Miami, because he represents all of Miami.

You put it in front of the stadium, maybe put it in front of Miami High.

I don't know.

Like,

your franchise has to have,

if you already have one statue, and obviously Dwayne Wade being the statue is perfectly appropriate.

But if you're going to have a second person, like that guy has to also be an all-time great player.

And I don't think there should should be any other statue outside the Miami Heat.

Like even outside Hard Rock Stadium, okay, there's a Dan Marino statue.

Do I believe there should be a, let's say, Jason Taylor, a Jason Taylor statue?

No, we're over statuing.

There's too many statues.

Too many statues.

Yeah, I mean, I got in trouble on this air several months ago saying Don Staley should not get a statue.

They were talking about a Don Staley statue.

Udonis probably shouldn't.

Pat Riley, I could see getting a statue if we're going to.

But he's got the court, though.

Well, I know, but that's a small.

Pat Riley deserves a statue.

But that's the gesture though i don't think he i think when they gave him the court that's basically them being like this is your thing i know but shit you not lebron james does not deserve a miami heat statue no are you crazy how's that even a conversation it like statues are reserved

ultra great the the the franchise changers the people that are almost as synonymous with the franchise as the logo itself waiter riley those are the only people you could ever get what if i told you statue placement matters and you're getting a udonis haslam statue a little smaller inside the arena.

What about in the concourse area out back?

Stop making statues for like a jersey retirement is like such a great honor.

What an honor.

Right.

Stop making statues.

Enough already.

Now, everybody.

You literally want a statue of yourself.

As a joke, I toyed around with that, putting it in my front yard.

That'd be great.

I looked into the cost question.

Who would you license to do that?

Not Dwayne Wade's artist, I'll tell you that.

You know what?

It used to be.

The way that you would honor a legendary columnist is a good old-fashioned plaque in a press box.

Yeah, go watch.

What would you want at the Miami Herald building?

The building doesn't exist anymore.

Is there like a fountain out front, the Greg Cody fountain?

The fountain.

Where would it be?

Where would we put the Greg Cody plaque?

I'll take a parking spot.

Wasn't it going to become a casino?

What if you became like a

slot machine?

Like it's you.

There's like a screen there, and then someone pulls your arm.

Would you take that?

And as you do it, it goes up.

That kind of thing.

Or in front of your house, in front of your house, you have a statue.

What if they made you the mailbox?

Ooh.

In my likeness?

Yeah, yeah, in your likeness.

And then the post person would have to deliver you handle

the mail.

No, what if they opened up the mouth?

Dude, that's a good question.

Where would you want to put it?

Yeah, I think the gate that opens up on a mailbox would be my mouse.

Yeah, but you have to have something signaling that you have mail.

So your arm has to go.

Yeah, it goes up like a little kid at school.

You raise your hand.

You've got mail, Jack.

No, you're going to.

You're going to want a push button.

Trust me.

You think?

There's a huge flaw in the

Greg Cody slot machine idea.

Yeah.

Yeah, the resting position.

You got to watch that arm gesture.

Oh, it's a sport.

Yeah, yeah.

Offensive.

Imagine you're super excited.

You go into the casino.

You see rows of Greg Cody and his arm slot machines.

And the resting position is a sig high.

No, it'd be all the way up.

You could do like a thumbs up or something.

Okay.

All right, all the way up.

The thumb helps a little bit.

Let's make sure it goes all the way.

Get that thumb helping.

Really?

Hand at the apex.

Pointer finger.

That's a good point.

So we're all pretty much in agreement that it's a little much with the statues, all right?

Too many stats.

Brady, completely appropriate, but otherwise, there's too many statues.

What about having a street named after you?

Where does that fall?

Like Jose Caseko?

Like Dwayne Wade Boulevard?

That's a great art.

Dan Marino.

Like, that's a nice little additional thing that you go the extra mile for for the greatest legend and very few legends.

Like there are very few franchises that can do like more than one of these things.

If you go to the Lakers Arena, it's exhausting.

I love Luke Robotai just as much as the next guy, but statue?

The Heat did the appropriate order.

It's you retire the jersey, give him a street, and then the statue.

Now, Greg, you're also tired of something else in sports right now, where you saw, I guess, the Philadelphia Eagles have displayed what their championship rings are looking like, right?

It's beyond the pale.

You know, apparently you press a button and wings come out from the ring.

No.

yeah silly yes you press a button and wings come out of the ring and

samson was in here the other day with his miami marlins championship ring and david i love you but what a embarrassing ring that is because it's so gaudy it's so huge if i see somebody walking around with a ring that size

frankly a fist-sized ring it it's i'm like what an asshole

Don't do that.

Showy beyond belief.

Championship rings need to scale back

Jack.

How about that?

Christopher loves it when I say back Jack.

He loves that for some reason.

You love that, Christopher?

It's his thing.

He never does it, but...

Well, you know, I don't know.

I don't know how you did it there, and it was underwhelming.

They were like ahead on the size of rings.

All the rings are massive.

And getting bigger.

Yeah, they're getting bigger.

The Eagles now have like wings that come out of their championship wing.

You push something down and wings come out.

Yeah, Steve Mornio.

Yeah, and they're going to get bigger and gaudier, and it's just ridiculous.

I understand.

I understand why we're doing that, but there needs to be a great reset.

There essentially needs to be a rookie wage scale back to normal-sized championship rings.

Because every championship ring has to be bigger and more gaudy than the previous one.

Otherwise,

you're insulting the players and you're coming off as a cheap owner.

You know what?

What's insulting the players is giving them something that has no actual practicality.

This is something that is going to have to stay in a box, maybe for a reunion once in a lifetime.

If I won a championship ring and I got the rings that everyone chases, I'd like to wear that puppy.

Yes, I agree.

And here's something else.

And this is ironic in a way because as championship rings become bigger and gaudier

and pricier, they also become devalued.

Why?

No insult to Zaslow.

A broadcaster should not get a championship ring.

Oh, okay.

The head trainer should not get a championship ring.

Head trainer's players.

No, head trainer, absolutely.

The championship rings should go to players on the roster and coaches.

The trainers are part of that staff.

I'm with you on Zaszlo.

Okay.

The trainer is one of the more

important people on a team.

Okay, trainer, equipment, man.

You've got to draw the line somewhere, though.

Okay.

Are you giving a championship ring to the intern in the media relations department?

They do draw the line somewhere because most of these teams have tiers of rings.

I understand.

Three or four tiers, right?

Yes.

Okay.

Nobody should get a championship ring, in my opinion, other than the team.

Okay.

What about Luis Castillo, who was on the roster, but not on the World Series roster?

You know, I mean, minimal games.

What if I told you a social media intern came up with the phrase Splash Brothers, their first championship with the Warriors?

Does that person get a ring?

A media intern?

No.

Yeah.

He came up with Splash Brothers.

Splash Brothers.

I know.

I didn't like that nickname anyway.

Oh, Christ.

Yeah.

No, I didn't.

By the way, I don't believe you love David Sampson.

Splash.

I like David Sampson a lot.

Like.

I think he's great at what he does.

Yeah, you just went from love to like.

You say, I love the guy, but

would you shop for does with him?

I would not.

No, no.

No.

No.

Family-owned, Billy.

I mean, seriously.

I am still stunned from learning that they sell does at CBS.

It's ridiculous.

Back in the day, a local church would be picketing that place.

You know what I'm saying?

It's pretty.

And you made it weird.

No, he's right.

Say no to the dough.

I'm not a prude.

Say no to the dough.

I'm not a prude, but I think it's a little unbecoming to sell those in a drugstore.

Is it discreet?

Clearly, I haven't noticed.

It depends.

I mean,

they sell those too.

Yeah.

We all were like, ah!

I pulled a move with my wife at the supermarket the other day.

Go on.

We were shopping at Publix Saturday night, I think.

Love a Saturday night.

Obviously, we're cool.

Big weekend for the Saszlos.

Like 7:30 p.m.

Something like that.

We were shopping at Publix on Saturday night, and we went by the aisle that has

the Depends.

And I said it really loud for everybody here.

Tam, do you need any more Depends?

Are you good?

Great guy.

Oh, man.

Great guy.

Do they sell those at CBS?

Seemed to appreciate that.

What a great husband to shop with.

She didn't love that.

No.

May have been a mistake.

Yeah.

Honey, heavy flow day or no?

Greg likes it.

I do.

That's funny.

Yeah.

I'm going to file that away for future use.

Yeah, you can use that.

I'll lend that to you.

You can use that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Was there another person in the aisle?

Yeah, I said it loud that there were people around.

Wow.

I bet you the one thing that they were all thinking was, a white tam.

I always think I'm in a simulation when I'm in a grocery store.

It's like, how's there always one person on this aisle?

There's never more than one person on an aisle.

Oh, no, not when I shop.

I do most of my big shopping on a Sunday morning.

The aisles are crowded.

You got to like slal them down the aisle.

How many people are like...

For me, you turn down the corner for an aisle?

One person.

Really?

Always.

Well, what time are you shopping?

Like 6 p.m.

I'm a weekday afternoon guy.

No, that's a bad time to shop.

You know, you got to go with the crowd.

What are the peak times to shop?

Saturday evenings, clearly.

I think the peak time is Saturday or Sunday when everyone's there.

Like 10 a.m.

to

1 p.m.

Yeah, that's like why do you like going with a crowd?

I prefer

it's a communal thing, you know?

It couldn't be no.

But like waiting in line.

You like to wait longer at the deli?

Oh, yeah, I like that.

Why?

It's just.

You talk to anyone?

Yeah, sometimes.

Yeah.

Chit-chat.

That's actually cute.

Yeah.

And as

I think that's going to be in fashion a little bit.

Occasionally.

As we get more into our devices, people are going to long for those small little interactions.

My dad's not a deli guy, though.

I totally agree with you.

You're saying that?

You don't wait in line for that deli.

Well, the other day, I had

sometimes I buy packaged prosciutto because it's really good, thin slice.

Well, pre-packaged?

Well, you go to

cut.

Yeah, sometimes I get it.

But the Cody family has always been, like, I'll just go to the aisle.

Don't get me started on the pre-cut deli meat.

Yeah, it depends.

Sometimes I'll get it freshly cut.

You ever get a cut and say, a little thinner, a little.

Yes.

That's the best part.

You ever get a cut and giving you the piece?

I don't like this.

I love how I'm like assessing this cheese.

Let me see if this is thick enough.

Let me see.

Yes.

That is a great pleasure in life.

I wish I had more to do that.

That's a a perfect amount of thickness.

Thank you.

The perfect thinness, you got to tell them is right before it's shaved, right?

Because when they, when they quote unquote shave it, then it's just a turkey mess inside of there once you untangle it or open it.

When you do it just thin enough, just before it's shaved, then it doesn't come apart, but it's also almost like transparent when you can pull it up.

That's the perfect level.

These pre-packaged ham turkey things, you have no idea what level of thickness you're getting with those things.

It could be super thick.

It could be super thin.

Get out of here with those.

Yeah, I agree.

And sometimes there's different cuts within the same package.

You'll get a super thin one, and then the next one will be thicker.

It's inconsistent.

And then you don't know if you're getting the ass end where it's just like a bunch of little round slices.

And it's like, how am I supposed to distribute these tiny slices in my sandwich?

It's the worst.

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 Light 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 Light 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 Light has been the go-to way to stock the cooler and celebrate those moments.

Don Lebatard.

My wife says this.

I'm in a sexy voice.

It really is.

Yeah.

I'm hard.

Thank you.

Wow.

Stugats.

So am I, actually.

I don't know why.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Are you still a butt guy?

Question for Cody.

A what guy?

Boston butt.

Oh, yeah, I love it.

What the hell is that?

The Boston button butt?

Yeah.

Don't look at me like I should know that.

What is that?

Yeah, Boston butt is,

you know, that's when you pull pork.

You take two forks and

the meat is so well done that it falls apart.

Tear that ass up.

Yeah, man.

I'm telling you what.

I cooked that on my big green egg and I have mastered it.

That's the only thing on my big green egg that I can honestly say I cook competition quality Boston butt.

I will say that.

You don't put sauce on it, though.

I have sauce available.

I don't recommend sauce.

That's how good it is.

That's how you know it's good.

That's how good it is.

Didn't you recently make a Wellington that most people are not used to making?

I made a pork wellington.

That looked interesting.

Yeah, I did a video.

You're fortifying my algo because recently I've been in this meats and sliced deli meat.

There's this crazy, huge, spicy.

That's your algos?

No, I have a lot of algos.

My algos are all boobs these days.

I had one of Coco Beware giving a dude receipts.

Yeah, there was a lot of people.

really dude.

Coco Beware just straight up assaulted a guy in the ring one time

chop.

This mass wrestler got one chop in and Coco Beware straight up killed this guy.

Wow.

Like he just beat the holy hell out of him.

Where was Frankie?

This was before he was Coco.

This was just Coco Ware.

No kidding.

Yeah, they added the B later, which is, you know,

Vince McMahon gets a lot of crap, but he was a pretty pretty big creative mind.

So this guy wasn't even being stiff.

It was just one chop.

One chop and Coco.

You know what?

I'm going to get this video.

Let's see if we can get it.

You have to watch Coco wear damn near kill this guy.

Anyways, thank you for fortifying it.

I appreciated that.

And I would really like to eat your butt.

Okay.

You know what?

I'm going to make a butt.

The problem is it takes several hours to cook.

Low and slow.

Low and slow.

I'll take my time with it.

I mean,

I would make one for the whole show.

I'll bring it in.

I don't like to share, but sure.

Okay.

Bottom right here, we have Cooking with Cody.

It's my dad,

you know, really

stretching the brand of the Greg Cody Show YouTube channel.

Oh, look at that, Greg.

That's you in the corner.

Yeah, it's my first cooking video.

That's a picture-in-picture with you.

Yeah.

Now, there were some comments about, you know, some uncleanly moments where, you know, you know, you wipe your hand, then you wipe your shirts, going back to the meat.

I actually responded, and I'm like, these are edited videos, okay?

We're not going to show me washing my hands after I touch uncooked pork.

This is often a thing of contention between me and my dad when he's cooking.

Wash your own hands.

He's just, he's a little, I would say, sloppy.

That's not true.

The pork loin and prosciutto first?

Gregg's talking, yeah.

Yeah, the prosciutto goes down over, at least the way I made it, it goes down over the uncooked dough and then Dijon mustard.

Not to be confused with

Grape Binder mustard.

Those doughs?

Yeah, that's the real dough, not a dill dough.

Right.

Okay.

You put that dough in your mouth.

Or dough with dill.

You look so much like Lyndon B.

Johnson here.

Do B.

J.

Something going on with my dad's face recently.

I just, I don't know what's going on.

It looks great.

The sands of time.

Christopher texting.

After watching this video, Christopher

texted me saying, have you had a stroke?

There's parts in the video where he's like talking and his side of his mouth is like drooping.

That's not true.

Got that droop face?

No, No, absolutely not.

That Wellington face.

It's not true.

I have not had a stroke that I'm aware of.

That happens.

I know that.

That happens a lot, though.

Oh, I know it does.

Yeah, you should check in just in case.

That face drooping, that does concern me a little bit.

Well, Christopher, don't get everybody worried now.

You brought it up.

I always worry, Greg.

Greg, do you love you?

Do me a favor, look directly into the camera so you can see your face, and then pull your tongue out and make it touch the right side of your mouth and then to the left side of your mouth.

Why am I doing that?

To make sure you're trying to

stroke test them.

Go ahead.

And now all the way to the other side and now back to the other side and one more time.

Okay, you're good.

All right.

You are officially a meme.

Yeah, I was going to say, that's not what you're supposed to say.

That was not my intention whatsoever.

One more time.

I'm close.

No, no, let's not.

This time, if you wiggle your tongue a little bit, that would help.

Pretend like you're holding a microphone.

That's disgusting.

Wait, hold on a second, Craig.

Pretend like you're holding a microphone with one hand.

No, you have to try both hands.

Pretend like you're holding your microphone.

I love you, Billy, but no.

No.

Don't worry, it's not a dough.

Okay.

This is a stroke test.

Quite literally.

Literally.

You guys are weird.

Weirdos.

We used to use that word as kids a weirdo.

Oh, I'm the weirdo.

I didn't take my son to a sex shop to look for does.

I'm the weird one.

Yeah, we're grown men.

Mike,

was there a serious crash this weekend with the racing?

No, it's not.

There were a couple.

They raced at Watkins Glen, and the Xfinity series was there.

Shaman Ginsbergen won the

Cup Series.

This guy, he's a New Zealand racer.

He still struggles a little bit with the Ovals, but when it comes to a road course, he might be the greatest of all time already.

He's won four races the NASCAR Cup season.

They've all been road courses.

He just destroys the field.

He won one race by 15 seconds.

He won this one by eight.

He actually gets bored.

He kind of plays with his food.

But when he races the Xfinity series, which is the tier just below the Cup Series Sunday races, there is this 19-year-old kid, Connor Zilich,

who is a prodigy.

He's also on track house racing when he does come up.

He's occasionally a Cup Series racer, but everyone says this guy is next.

Connor Zilich, he beats Shane Van Ginsberg and he beat him at Watkins Glen.

And we didn't get the video cleared from it, but something happened that I'm surprised we actually haven't seen more often in this sport.

It was horrific.

He is standing on top of his car doing the celebrations, getting sprayed with water and whatnot.

He slips because it's slick up there.

He gets his foot caught in the net that is on the driver's side window.

Oh my God.

Nothing to break his fall.

Face plants on the cement floor.

broke his collarbone and got off lucky.

I'm telling you, his face smacked flush against.

It's as brutal of a fall.

It was scary.

It literally will make you be like, oh.

It was legitimately scary because he got loaded into an ambulance.

Thankfully, the very next day, almost miraculously so, he showed up at the race.

Really mature kid, arm in a sling.

He'll probably race in two weeks.

It would look like this kid's a prodigy, but it's one of the more horrific things that I saw recently in sports.

God bless him.

Thank God he's all right.

That was nuts.

Did you mention he was 19 years old?

I didn't even know.

19 years old.

This guy, yeah,

he's certainly next.

And it'll be cool for Trackhouse.

Track House seems to be gaming the system a little bit.

NASCAR keeps adding road courses.

They're going to get these guys that are good at road courses because for the playoffs, that counts just as much.

So who cares if they're not really good on the Ovals?

Now, Connor Zilish is really good in the Ovals, too.

He's going to be an all-time great potentially if he lands with the right team.

He said after coming back, he said, first of all, I'm doing okay.

Very grateful to walk away from that.

Well, I guess I didn't walk away.

And then later he says, I was climbing out of the car and obviously the window net was on the door.

And as soon as they started spraying water, my foot slipped classic blaming everybody else for the accident yeah where did these guys get this bright idea to spray me in celebration after i won a race when have we ever seen that before we have audio of his fall seven career wins let's go down to mobile one victory lane dylan

on the cage stage oh my gosh he fell

he uh his arm was stuck like out like a like a UFC driver, a UFC fighter that gets concussed.

He had the concussion arm?

He had the concussion arm.

Now, he didn't have a concussion.

They would have reported that.

He spoke well enough afterwards, just hours after the incident, but his arm was stuck because he broke his collarbone, which sounds like one of the worst bones to break.

Haven't you broke that?

I have.

When I was very small, I was like four or five years old.

Didn't Uncle Dick like whip you around?

He was pulling me in a red wagon or something.

Took a corner too hot.

Took a corner much too fast, and I spilled out of the wagon and broke my color.

It usually depends on whether it's a clean break or some sort of a sloppy break.

It could be like a long-term issue with the shoulder if it's not a proper break.

Hopefully it was just clean.

They can just put that thing right on the bottom.

Yeah, I was surprised to hear Mike say that he might be racing again in two weeks.

That sounds like more of a recovery time than that.

I'll tell you, I know we don't have clearance to play the video, I guess.

We just played the audio, but I just saw the video.

They can show it to you guys to react.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So let's get your guys' reaction.

it's pretty crazy this video um pretty standard climbing out got his red wool and he's like yeah let's do this

and oh oh my god like there's other angles where you see it worse too he's lucky he didn't crack his head open and then he just looks like he's taking a nap like that yeah just oh that's terrible

if you're watching that live you think that he cracked his head open the way that he fell and the way that he's lying on the ground after it's like it's like he's asleep if if i own a team if i own a team in that sport I'm watching that video and I'm going, hey, all of my drivers, when we win a race, we're no longer standing on cars that way.

It is interesting on whether that will change.

Remember, Ken, was it Kendry Morales?

Everyone kind of takes the celebrations and

a little like they don't do the jumping anymore.

Now it's like they run low into the crowd.

Yeah.

I wonder if we'll see a slight shift here.

I'm going to go ahead and say it had nothing to do with the water being sprayed.

His foot just got caught up in the right underneath him.

And then he was like, oh, man, God, that is awful.

Oh, hey, look, he's not dead.

Look at that.

He's not even moving.

He is lucky.

He's not wearing his helmet.

Like, he could have died from that.

Oh, my God.

That would ruin the celebration.

He could have.

I mean, the celebration was promptly ruined.

Oh.

Oh.

Wow.

Crazy.

His hat flies off in it.

It was just, it was a really scary situation.

Glad to talk racing, though.

There you go.

All right.

Told you we would fit it in.

Anyone looking to get some Thai food tonight?

Man, I'm hungry.

I want some Thai food.

Zaz, I think I have to see the metrics.

I think, especially down here in South Florida with our core audience.

Let's put her on the poll.

Have you ordered Thai food since Zaz said?

Thai food.

I've been getting a lot of messages.

People ate Thai food this weekend.

Are you sure it was Thai food?

It's up for debate whether or not you...

I'm not going to do that whole thing again because please don't say it's all the same.

Just move on.

I don't know if you actually know what Thai food is.

I've never gotten orange chicken from a Thai restaurant.

It's Satai, Pet Thai.

Yeah.

Pet Siu,

chicken fried rice.

No.

Thai food.

Egg rolls.

Thai food will probably have a Thai food food.

Spring rolls.

It's not egg rolls.

It's spring rolls.

Love Thai food.

I don't think you actually do, but either way, every I had to order Thai food just because I've been walking around my house saying Thai food.

I can't be the only one.

I'm telling you,

Thai food should be a sponsor here on the show.

Just are you a paid lobbyist for Big Thai?

No.

I love it.

I can't stop thinking about Thai food.

I was at my cousin's birthday party and they had a bunch of pizza and Chinese food and I walked up to the kitchen and that's that good Thai food.

Thai food.

And everyone was like, why'd you do that?

Nobody got it.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan.

Those sprinklers are starting to slowly come up on the football field.

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.
