The Big Suey: Best Revelation

Speaker 5 All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka.

Speaker 6 Chris Cody, you're with me here.

Speaker 8 Smirnoff!

Speaker 3 Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff.

Speaker 6 Spinoff. I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food?

Speaker 4 Smirnoff! Not your favorite game day drink.

Speaker 5 What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff!

Speaker 2 All right, here's the deal: game day is everything: the noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

Speaker 3 Spirit off.

Speaker 10 Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff!

Speaker 12 Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 10 They've been doing it since 1864, which is, I don't even want to do the math.

Speaker 6 It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born.

Speaker 2 They're award-winning.

Speaker 6 They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.

Speaker 3 So yeah, we do game days.

Speaker 2 That's their thing.

Speaker 4 And if you're over 21, you should too.

Speaker 11 Why, Chris? Smearing off.

Speaker 2 Grab a bottle of Smearinoff at your local retailer and head to Smearinoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day.

Speaker 4 Smearing off.

Speaker 10 Please drink responsibly.

Speaker 4 Smearing off.

Speaker 6 Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume.

Speaker 4 The Smearinoff Company.

Speaker 2 New York, New York.

Speaker 4 Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. Smearing off.

Speaker 9 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 13 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 9 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 13 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 8 Cuervo.

Speaker 9 The tequila. That invented tequila.

Speaker 8 Brooksimo, Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Speaker 13 Welcome to the Big Sue,

Speaker 13 presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? It's a podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebatard podcast.

Speaker 11 I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

Speaker 13 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

Speaker 13 if they're just there.

Speaker 3 That hasn't happened to you guys.

Speaker 8 I've done it.

Speaker 13 And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.

Speaker 16 This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Speaker 8 Well done.

Speaker 13 Again, you have become a real broadcast professional when you do choose to speak into the microphone.

Speaker 16 Thank you very much.

Speaker 13 The Giants have released Tommy DeVito. Sad day for the show.
Yeah, sad day for his agent.

Speaker 13 Also, I saw a quote here from Arch Manning that is, given the size of the game that Arch Manning is about to play, and I don't know in my recollection off the top of my head, a more anticipated, longer anticipated

Speaker 13 starting of a college football season prodigy than what Arch Manning is presently headed into. And I don't know if you saw this, he gave exactly the quote that you want to hear if you're a Texas fan.

Speaker 13 He actually said before this game, which I believe to be one of the most pressurized games a quarterback has ever, I'm going to call it debuted with, even though he's played before, but this is his coming out party.

Speaker 13 This is, what is Eli Manning and Peyton Manning's nephew? What is he as a quarterback?

Speaker 13 The quote is perfect, and it's better than any quote that I've ever heard from Peyton or Eli other than when Peyton called Mike Vanderjack that idiot kicker during the Pro Bowl, the last Pro Bowl I watched.

Speaker 13 Here is the quote from Arch Manning. The targets

Speaker 13 not on our back.

Speaker 13 We have a red dot on everyone else.

Speaker 8 Wow.

Speaker 15 That's a good quote. Well, Dan, you know that Arch Manning has motion, right?

Speaker 8 Did you know that?

Speaker 15 Explain. Motion.

Speaker 9 Greg, you explain it. He's hoping that this isn't a young person thing.

Speaker 15 No, it is a young person thing. That's why I know it means it's.
Emotion means like he's with it. He's cool.
He gets it. He's hit.

Speaker 9 He's hit clocking to him. Did it stand on business? Yes? No?

Speaker 16 No, I get it. Now that you explain it, it's a good quote.

Speaker 8 It's a good quote.

Speaker 8 It's the best quote ever.

Speaker 7 In your day, it would have been groovy.

Speaker 16 Yeah. He's groovy?

Speaker 16 He's happening. Happening.
Yeah, he's happening.

Speaker 13 So we emerge from pipe down and you're off your rocker to groovy and happening as we continue to grab all the kids on YouTube.

Speaker 15 We get the motion then.

Speaker 13 Put it on the poll at Lebatard show, which is the older expression, off your rocker or pipe down.

Speaker 13 We have to get to the Sueys here. We've got among the categories today, later in the show, we've got Best Stugat's dismissal.
Is it just Stugats or is it Best Dismissal?

Speaker 7 Well, that actually speaks to everybody else. The way it used to be combined and Stugats was the star, everybody else stepped up their dismissal game so much that we were able to break them up.

Speaker 7 And now it's Stugat's dismissal. And later in the week, which is loaded, we will have everybody else's dismissals.

Speaker 8 Oh, wow.

Speaker 11 I mean, Billy brought it.

Speaker 7 David Sampson brought it. Greg Cody brought it.
That's a great category.

Speaker 13 All right. So, but that's not the one we have today.

Speaker 7 Stugat's dismissal today. And Best Revelation is what we're going to play here.

Speaker 13 Yeah, we're going to get to Best Revelation here in a second.

Speaker 13 But when you talk about the games that we're headed into this weekend, already Fox and Big Noon is getting exactly what they want out of Dave Portnoy and Barstool because there are reports that Dave Portnoy has been banned from participating in Big Noon kickoff.

Speaker 13 It seems that all of this would be orchestrated in order to create noise and controversy.

Speaker 13 And I believe Portnoy and Barstool will be good about attracting attention and attention of young people to rival Lee Corso's departure on ESPN.

Speaker 12 Well, he's not banned from Big Noon.

Speaker 19 Okay, Big Noon starts their normal studio show, and they do like the final segment inside the stadium. He is not being allowed to sit down.

Speaker 13 Good correction. Yes,

Speaker 13 but he's also not banned, according to Ohio State's AD, who says, and these, they've got so many rules. I got in trouble last year, right? Because I sent Ricky to get Lucy into Texas for a game.

Speaker 13 And there are all sorts of rules of how you get on the field, except at Texas Stadium, Ricky Williams just walks on the field. He's one of the few with that kind of pass.

Speaker 13 But we got in all sorts of trouble when we did that because there are rules. And so, what Ohio State's AD is saying is this is not a ban.

Speaker 13 It's just if you're not on the set of big noon, you're not on the field and you're not allowed. I don't know who's right or what's accurate here.
All of it's good, though, for all of the participants.

Speaker 9 Ohio State may be tipping the hand that Portnoy isn't a part of the closing segment, which given their history on how they integrated some of the ancillary cast members, I guess that's a fair play.

Speaker 9 This is, I think that this is marketing strategy to drum up interest, make them seem again too hot for the situation.

Speaker 9 It defies logic that if the Big Ten's biggest broadcast partner wanted Dave Portnoy on the field at that desk, he wouldn't be there. That just is not a thing that would happen given Fox's investment.

Speaker 13 Beyond that, one of the things that I was telling you, you mentioned Bill Simmons, but Bill Simmons did have a writing career.

Speaker 13 And at some point during the last 20 years, at least in part because of how ESPN was doing the journalism of things, having a writing career is something that made you credentialed, if not physically physically with a credential.

Speaker 13 You had the credentials to be welcomed on something like a set that's analyzing games. I don't believe a creature like Dave Portnoy has ever existed in the history of these shows.

Speaker 13 This is how a network that is struggling, but not with that show and not with Saturdays, a network and not with politics or anywhere else, but a network that is struggling with its sports programming.

Speaker 13 This is how they get into the game by trying to do something different.

Speaker 13 Finally, like it's, I've been so frustrated in general with Fox because they're just doing a crappy copy version of whatever has been the norm.

Speaker 13 So now they're just going to upset everything and they're just going to create chaos and noise and controversy.

Speaker 13 And it's going to be something that'll be good for the modern age, at least in part because none of these networks know how to get young people.

Speaker 13 Paramount Plus, we've been making fun of CBS forever because it's all murder she wrote. They get the UFC because they're like, how do we get young men? We need young men.
How do we get them?

Speaker 7 Not that I'm super young, but it's working. Like, I am now interested.
I'm going to, I mean, obviously, I got to see Corso do the last headgear, but I will be flipping back and forth on Saturday.

Speaker 20 I want to see what it looks like.

Speaker 9 I got to the point with Game Day. And now, I think last year was a marked improvement over the previous year, but it kind of felt like Game Day was a cheap imitation of Game Day.

Speaker 9 Whereas some of the fixtures, the Rinaldi piece, it felt like Big Noon was building on that. A lot of the producers moved over.
The bear is a part of it.

Speaker 9 So I was actually going to be totally dialed in on Big Noon because they had the rights to this game and they would have done it up big.

Speaker 9 But then the emotional aspect of Lee Corso's final college game day, it's just maybe if I catch him on a commercial break,

Speaker 9 otherwise, I'll just be tuned into the social clips, but this is all about Lee Corso for me.

Speaker 19 This weekend will especially be interesting because everyone is descending on Columbus. It's big noon and it's game day are all there together.

Speaker 15 Like, who's going to have the bigger crowd?

Speaker 19 You'd assume it's game day, but still, like, everyone is going to be there this weekend.

Speaker 9 This is a hero. This is a a television hero that is getting a proper send-off.
They're not waiting to the end of the season.

Speaker 9 They're giving him the big emotional tribute at the start where it all began.

Speaker 12 Did you see some of these clips in the special at ESPN Air the other night?

Speaker 8 I mean, Herbstreet is crying.

Speaker 9 Herbstreet's been crying when talking about Lee for 15 years in fear that this day would come.

Speaker 9 And I'm happy that Lee Coruso, that nothing tragic happened, that this is actually going out on his own terms.

Speaker 7 Should we set an over-under on different times Herbie cries on Saturday?

Speaker 9 Oh, he's gonna be a mess. Four and a half.

Speaker 15 They're all gonna be a mess.

Speaker 8 Over-under, four and a half.

Speaker 9 They all love him so much. It's palpable.
That's part of the connective tissue between that show and its audience. It's resonated with an audience, and this includes inside the NBA.

Speaker 9 In terms of a connection to a crowd, to its television audience, no one has ever topped in sports television what College Game Day has achieved.

Speaker 13 The internet has been cruel for a long time and is cruel to old people.

Speaker 11 So,

Speaker 13 Dick Vitale gets a lot more negative noise now than he used to get. And Lee Corso does too, because he has struggled with the aging process on air, as anybody could or would at that age.

Speaker 13 And ESPN has done very little better than the way that they have treated him with care.

Speaker 13 But when it comes to the coarsening of America and everything that you've seen recently, this is really symbolic that ESPN will get week one, even though that's a giant game with Arch Manning in the middle of it.

Speaker 13 But where you see the Rogansphere getting

Speaker 13 stronger in places, where you see young men getting stronger in places, symbolically, this is a changing of the guard that Fox is trying to go after and finish that show with.

Speaker 13 Because once you lose the connection of that one thing, right?

Speaker 13 Because McAfee does a lot of good stuff with the field goals and giving away money, but the one thing of when he puts on the headgear, that's when my football weekend starts.

Speaker 13 That the noise on the television for three hours, it's background noise. It's the way you watch all the Super Bowl pregame stuff.

Speaker 13 It's just on somewhere in your house, but you're about to descend into no showering for the day because you're watching a whole bunch of football.

Speaker 13 I think it's super interesting to see what happens with those numbers over time as Urban Meyer, the dirty one, is over on that show.

Speaker 13 Dave Portnoy, the dirty one, is over there on that show while ESPN is trying to sell you its past.

Speaker 9 Nick Sabin, the dirty one, is on that show.

Speaker 9 I mean, don't sell him short. He's not Urban in terms of like this moral spectrum we've established, but he ain't all good, pal.

Speaker 13 He's less dirty.

Speaker 8 Still dirty. He's dirty, though.

Speaker 9 Urban's not getting the commercials.

Speaker 13 Because he's dirty. He could get one for detergent.
Like, you want to scrub your Jacksonville clean of the laughter?

Speaker 21 Urban's like those deck shoes after yard work.

Speaker 13 The things that are happening

Speaker 13 throughout America, you can also feel them in and around sports. And it is going to be worth watching what Fox does when very rarely is any of this stuff worth watching, like where we anticipate it.

Speaker 13 College Game Day is special because it has been that for a long time, but it hasn't had any challenges. Like Stephen A.

Speaker 13 Smith has been saying we've been number one for 11 years, but I mean, it's like, okay, but you didn't compete against anybody the first seven years and then Skip went to a startup and you have been number one and you made the time slot matter, but it wasn't really a time slot that was having heavy competition throughout morning television.

Speaker 13 You're coming after the king when you come after college game day and you're coming after the king with something that's pretty different.

Speaker 13 And it's hard to make that stuff different because everybody's copying everybody else.

It's hot in Miami. My wife says, why don't you want to do this with us? My daughter's crying.

Speaker 11 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 13 But it's just his titties are sitting on the shelf that is his belly.

Speaker 11 Stugats.

Speaker 9 He said titties anyway. It like shocked me a little bit.

Speaker 8 I wasn't quite prepared for titties.

Speaker 18 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 13 I wonder if there are going to be any revelations over the course of the weekend. I will be interested in examining all of that.
But Greg Cody, did you hear any of the best revelations?

Speaker 13 I know you did the intros for this, but did you hear any of the actual revelations?

Speaker 16 I remember many of them, you know, just because they stand out in my mind, but no, all I did was introduce them.

Speaker 7 I feel good about this category, and it's the 2025 SUI Awards presented by Miller Light. You can cast your vote at lebitardaf.com.
Winners will be announced a week from today, Tuesday, September 7th.

Speaker 7 Here is Best Revelation.

Speaker 23 And now the SUI nominees for Best Revelation. Dan Lebetard hasn't gotten mail in over a decade.

Speaker 13 I've probably gone more than 10 years without getting a piece of mail.

Speaker 24 That's not true.

Speaker 7 It's impossible.

Speaker 13 No, it's not.

Speaker 13 In terms of that gets through my wife and it stops before, I haven't gone to a mailbox. I haven't seen a piece of mail in more than 10 years.
I'm not even joking.

Speaker 23 Chris Cody uses his kid to get ice cream.

Speaker 15 If I want ice cream, I go, Gracelyn, go tell mommy we should get ice cream.

Speaker 8 That's smart.

Speaker 8 doesn't work. It's like multiple steps ahead.

Speaker 7 Sometimes I get caught. We were walking out of a restaurant the other day, and there was a cold stones right there.
So I'm like tapping my daughter. I'm like,

Speaker 7 and my, my wife looks back and sees me pointing at the cold stones, like, tell mommy we should go. And I'm just like, oh, I was looking.

Speaker 8 I'm stretching my arm.

Speaker 25 Can't you just go? Yeah.

Speaker 7 It was a school night. It was past 8:30.
My wife has this thing past

Speaker 8 homework to do, Chris.

Speaker 15 No, my daughter needs to go to sleep.

Speaker 23 David Sampson honored a player on Jewish Heritage Night who wasn't Jewish.

Speaker 22 We honored him on Jewish Heritage Day because the last name's Jacob, so you can get away with it. But of course, he's not Jewish, but no one needs to know that.

Speaker 26 Wait a second.

Speaker 10 So he's Jewish.

Speaker 18 Incredible.

Speaker 8 And we talked about his name.

Speaker 13 So wait.

Speaker 8 Wait. He had a Jewish name.
Wait. He whimpers out of the side of his face.

Speaker 9 So you talked about this beforehand.

Speaker 9 Was the assumption made that he was Jewish?

Speaker 8 You knew?

Speaker 20 You knew that he wasn't.

Speaker 22 I knew he put the G in Goyem. Of course I knew he wasn't Jewish.

Speaker 8 So that's a fraud on the. Why'd you go through it? It's a fraud.

Speaker 22 Because when you announce Jewish Heritage Day and like a bobblehead of Mike Jacobs, everyone's like, oh my God, you have a great Jewish player. And we're like, yeah, he's hitting 30 bombs.

Speaker 22 He's part of our young core. It's a great idea to honor him and to celebrate Jewish Heritage Night.

Speaker 22 Oh, I forgot. He goes to church on Sunday.

Speaker 23 Tim Kirchin reveals he cheated and his son texted him the answer.

Speaker 8 Wait, wait, Martin Scorsese. Martin Scorsese You looked it up.
You looked it up. You looked it up.

Speaker 13 We don't believe you.

Speaker 8 He doesn't know how to look it up. I cheated.

Speaker 15 Jeffrey texted it. This is what you do.

Speaker 8 You work together.

Speaker 8 He texted it to me. And then I pretended like I remembered it.
My son told me. You liar.

Speaker 13 And all this time, I thought you were a better writer than Peter Richmond.

Speaker 8 This is what you're telling me.

Speaker 23 John Skipper and David Sampson reveal their need to be above people during business meetings on the sporting class.

Speaker 15 When I was at ESPN, I always made sure I had the highest chair.

Speaker 8 Wait,

Speaker 8 in a meeting. I see you.

Speaker 4 You wanted to look down upon everybody.

Speaker 8 No, I wanted them to have to look up to me.

Speaker 22 All of that matters. I would do conversations with players only standing on the top step of the dugout with them in the dugout.

Speaker 22 Because I didn't want to go in with the power dynamic of me, or I would do it sitting down on the bench in the dugout.

Speaker 22 But I wouldn't want to do any sort of serious conversation with the player or with anyone where there is a huge height difference.

Speaker 20 It sounds like you were on the top step quite a bit then.

Speaker 23 Dan Lebetard reveals his shady monthly doctor appointments.

Speaker 13 I have to give blood every couple of months to get my blood tested, and I do it in the alley behind my house. Like

Speaker 13 that somebody comes over and because I have to rush to work and get it in the right time, people would drive by and see me in in the back of a van,

Speaker 13 a suburban, actually.

Speaker 3 It's heroin, the variety of things you're doing.

Speaker 13 And they would see me getting a needle to the arm with

Speaker 8 my arm wrapped. That is a photograph that can be ready.
In a van?

Speaker 13 Well, and a suburban.

Speaker 8 What are you talking about?

Speaker 28 I like how he's getting out in front of this story.

Speaker 8 That's smart of him. I like what he just did.

Speaker 24 He gets out in front of the photos that are clearly going to drop.

Speaker 28 Dude, that suburban 100% has a heat license plate.

Speaker 24 Or a black Miami University of Miami license.

Speaker 20 No, a Miami-Dade, like student parking decal audit.

Speaker 23 Dan Lebetard added an open bar at his funeral to his will.

Speaker 16 Okay, first of all, is there an open bar at this funeral?

Speaker 8 Okay, that factors in.

Speaker 8 Do funerals have open bars? No. Never.
No. Well, no, hold on.
No, it's, it's, you know.

Speaker 13 Do we know this? Well, it's

Speaker 13 not. I actually, it's funny that you say that because I recently put that in my will as part of estate planning.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Didn't.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Thanks, Dan.
Yes.

Speaker 23 Tim Kirchin reveals what he did in Cuba. But I did go to Cuba and I had a mojito, which I had never had one.

Speaker 8 Whoa, wacky.

Speaker 8 You made that sexy.

Speaker 23 Dan Lebertard never wore a seatbelt until the early 2000s.

Speaker 13 I did not start wearing a seatbelt until Derek Thomas was paralyzed in an accident.

Speaker 8 Really?

Speaker 13 Yes, I'd never worn a seatbelt in my life.

Speaker 13 I had never before worn a seatbelt in my life before Derek Thomas was paralyzed in an accident. What year is that, Dan?

Speaker 9 Because

Speaker 9 I don't know Derek Thomas. Yeah, I don't know that's for the Chiefs, right?

Speaker 13 Yeah, this would have been 2000.

Speaker 13 Yeah, so 20, 22 years ago, throughout my 20s, I drove without a seatbelt. Dan, you telling me you sat in the car and you let it go boo.

Speaker 13 No, it didn't do that back then, though. The technology wasn't there anymore.

Speaker 8 You hadn't been that advanced yet.

Speaker 23 Andrew Santino reveals the car that Jeremy Tashay drives.

Speaker 29 You know what you are, Tasha?

Speaker 29 You're in the Hyundai world. You're a Hyundai driver.

Speaker 20 You like Hyundai.

Speaker 29 And based on your look, I'm going to guess it's

Speaker 29 that town in down South Arizona. You're a Tucson.
You're a Tucson.

Speaker 29 No way.

Speaker 11 Hyundai, Tucson.

Speaker 10 It even has a Schitt's Creek sticker on the back of it.

Speaker 23 Oh, my God.

Speaker 23 David Sampson reveals why he lost Survivor on the first episode.

Speaker 22 I was in row 86 on the way to the Philippines for survivor, and I upgraded myself on the plane.

Speaker 22 And much to the chagrin of the fellow survivors, I didn't realize at the time, but they ended up holding that against me that I wasn't willing to sit in a meals asleep surrounded by like babies for a 14-hour time.

Speaker 8 You became the target. You have no people skills.

Speaker 8 I wonder why they kicked you off the island so quickly. You don't understand community.

Speaker 13 You're about to go on a stranded island for 39 days.

Speaker 20 Like, Jeff, I'd like to upgrade, please.

Speaker 20 How much do I have to give you for a 10 out here for me and my kids?

Speaker 8 You thought you were going to win, and

Speaker 8 you lost on the plane right over. You lost.

Speaker 23 Dan Lebatard's parents once had sex with him under the bed.

Speaker 13 You don't understand the way that you're triggering for me the memory of being under my parents' bed when they were having, well, I didn't know what sex was at the time. The bed was just a rockin'.

Speaker 27 This is your first, this is your ultimate core memory.

Speaker 15 I think this is driven everything about your life.

Speaker 13 This is the thing. It's been buried for 50 years.

Speaker 8 How long did it last? I've got no memory.

Speaker 13 It was very short. But I didn't, that's in retrospect.
I didn't know what they were doing. I didn't know what they were doing.
Why is the bed rocking?

Speaker 13 Look, for me, it wasn't even discussed. That was in retrospect.
At the moment, it was just fear. These are not small people.

Speaker 8 The bed is rocking.

Speaker 13 I'm under it.

Speaker 23 Mike Ryan sprints into the movie theater for every Mission Impossible movie.

Speaker 9 I went to go see Mission Impossible. Now my tradition is to get out of my car and sprint full speed to the movie theater.
I always do that, any Mission Impossible movie. Your tradition.

Speaker 9 That is my tradition. For the last six movies, I've done that.

Speaker 8 Go to the theater, get out of my car, full sprint.

Speaker 7 Do you videotape it? Like put it on social?

Speaker 8 This is just like a. No, this is just for me.
It's just for me. Something ridiculous.

Speaker 9 I keep hoping that someone's going to jump in and we can have a nice little moment.

Speaker 8 Doesn't happen.

Speaker 23 David Sampson suffers from night terrors.

Speaker 22 I suffer from terrible night terrors, which is when you have nightmares and

Speaker 22 basically are screaming in your sleep.

Speaker 22 And if you happen to be lucky enough to sleep with somebody, you get awoken by someone who is scared and wondering what will happen when they wake you, but you're making noises.

Speaker 22 And my night terrors, Dan, is I am panting and I am, it's the same one. It's a recurring night terror that I have way too often.
There is not a week that goes by that I do not wake up screaming.

Speaker 23 Ron McGill reveals the first thing chimps do when attacking.

Speaker 30 The reality is, when chimps come at you, one of the first things they do is they try to bite off your genitals.

Speaker 15 That's the reality?

Speaker 20 The first thing a chimp does when it comes up to you is tries to bite off your genitals.

Speaker 30 That's how they fight each other. They go right for the genitals.
They try to bite them off.

Speaker 23 Chris Cody reveals he had a one-eyed Uncle Mike.

Speaker 13 Billy yelled at Zaslow, point the cork toward you.

Speaker 13 And I heard Chris Cody say,

Speaker 8 my Uncle Mike lost an eye that day.

Speaker 8 My uncle Mike lost his eye opening a champagne bottle.

Speaker 7 R.I.P., he didn't die from

Speaker 8 the champagne.

Speaker 7 He's no longer with us, but he died with one eye.

Speaker 8 She had a glass eye.

Speaker 8 She did?

Speaker 7 It was weird. It didn't look at you.

Speaker 15 It kind of like looked off to the side.

Speaker 20 What color was it? Did it match?

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 15 It didn't match.

Speaker 7 He had blue eyes and the glass eye tried to be blue, but it was just like a different shade of blue.

Speaker 23 Erlene Cody reveals Greg Cody's homerism.

Speaker 13 The first question I would ask you, Erlene, is

Speaker 13 yes or no, your husband is a fan of the Dolphins.

Speaker 23 Yes.

Speaker 13 He's so mad at me right now.

Speaker 13 Yes, yes.

Speaker 28 I don't think we have any more questions.

Speaker 8 I have plenty of questions.

Speaker 23 David Sampson would try to make trades on Thanksgiving to avoid family time.

Speaker 22 I used to try to purposely make trades on Thanksgiving so I could get away from the Thanksgiving dinner. And so what I would like to do is...

Speaker 28 That's a heady play.

Speaker 8 I mean, revelation.

Speaker 8 And we did it.

Speaker 22 And we actually succeeded in completing some transactions right on Thanksgiving day.

Speaker 23 Roy Bellamy picked up his daughter from school in full hockey gear on Mystery Crate.

Speaker 7 Roy went, picked up his daughter, and then in full uniform.

Speaker 8 No, you know, he clearly couldn't have been driving with the skates on. No.

Speaker 7 So maybe the skates came off but other than that full did you have the helmet on for the entire drive no it was in my hockey bag

Speaker 8 no what happened was a little bit after the show anid told me that i had to pick up clear the visual you did you is this car line pick up no you had to get out i had to get out i had to walk to the front no roy that's not true stop

Speaker 23 billy gill reveals he once had cornrows i had cornrows once oh yeah It was a summer.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Shout out to my boy.

Speaker 9 Went to the Bahamas. I did.
I was on a cruise.

Speaker 20 Honestly, like, I did sleep with a do-rag to not have to. It hurts so much to get it done.

Speaker 24 Particularly if your hair is not curly enough to hold on to the cornrows, you better put that.

Speaker 7 That should be hatches. Yeah.
Maybe two of them.

Speaker 20 I'm trying to find the picture to send to you guys privately, but like, yeah, that was one of those things that disappeared because I was worried because I'm like, is it going to be appropriation?

Speaker 28 Like, if you want it to be private, don't send it.

Speaker 23 Chris Cody reveals one of his first crushes.

Speaker 7 One of my first crushes was Angelica Pickles' mom, Charlotte Pickles.

Speaker 23 Jonathan Zaslow texted the arena about an unruly fan.

Speaker 13 They have that code that you got to text, right?

Speaker 21 Text 60555.

Speaker 27 Unruly fans. Yeah, and then

Speaker 13 it's kind of like

Speaker 7 you guys ever send a text? You ever text it?

Speaker 31 Never. I did one time when someone in my section was rooting for the other team, and I text so-and-so, room for the other team.

Speaker 8 Really? They picked the person out?

Speaker 23 Wait, was this.

Speaker 13 Why would you tell on somebody rooting for the other team?

Speaker 15 To me, that shit was unruly.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Keith Yandle reveals his least favorite athlete of all time.

Speaker 26 My least favorite athlete of all time is probably VJ Singh, and I don't know why.

Speaker 8 And what did he do to you, Vijay? I mean, harmless VJ Singh. I mean,

Speaker 8 why?

Speaker 8 He's probably the best guy in the world.

Speaker 8 What a weird.

Speaker 8 You gave me a million guesses. What a weird.

Speaker 8 VJ Singh, all he did was

Speaker 8 represent golf himself and his country well, and you hate him for no good reason.

Speaker 32 He gave us nothing. He literally gave us nothing.

Speaker 26 Like, I never even heard him interviewed or anything, and I'm sure he's the best guy.

Speaker 8 He's probably an unreal family guy.

Speaker 23 Dan Lebatard reveals he's a sleep farter.

Speaker 13 I'm a sleep farter? I was just informed of that the other day to my mortification.

Speaker 13 And it's after I've eaten in restaurants where they've lied to me about the ingredients. Because I'm like, no dairy, no gluten, I need vegan cheese.

Speaker 13 I need garlic and no paprika, and I need to make sure there's no turmeric. Yes, just pecans and occasionally some academia nuts.

Speaker 28 Have the conversation go when your wife reveals to you that you're a sleeper.

Speaker 8 Embarrassing.

Speaker 13 It was embarrassing to me.

Speaker 23 Jamal Hill has share's number.

Speaker 25 I have share in my phone. Would y'all take shares? Share.

Speaker 8 Share is the most.

Speaker 8 Hold on. That's a bit of a damage.
You have share in your phone?

Speaker 8 Hold on. I want to partake in the NBA Finals ball.
I'm not even around. I have Sharon.

Speaker 8 Share and I have texted the phone.

Speaker 23 Greg Cody says, punt. Whenever watching a punt.

Speaker 7 One of my favorite things my dad does watching a football game, anytime there's a punt, as the ball contacts the kicker's foot, he says, punt.

Speaker 8 He's done it for 30 years.

Speaker 16 The only sound where something happening actually is verified by that one.

Speaker 28 Punt.

Speaker 8 Chris, tell me more about this. So how are we just literally my entire life? Anytime there's a punt,

Speaker 24 you have to catch it. It'll say it low.

Speaker 8 Punt.

Speaker 8 But wait.

Speaker 8 Is it on the snap? Is it when the ball meets the foot? As the ball is being punted. Punt.
It has to be breathless.

Speaker 7 Because he's always claimed that the word punt actually sounds like what you hear.

Speaker 13 So it's onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia.

Speaker 13 A word that sounds like what it is.

Speaker 11 Exactly.

Speaker 28 Plagotopoeia.

Speaker 13 What?

Speaker 16 Nothing.

Speaker 23 Poppy Lebatard reveals that at his age, anything smells good.

Speaker 8 At my age, anything smells good.

Speaker 8 What? Whatever that means.

Speaker 9 Greg, are you that age yet?

Speaker 8 Not quite. I hope to get there.
I have no idea. Poppy's my hero.

Speaker 13 I have no idea what that means.

Speaker 13 At my age, any.

Speaker 24 I cannot be juicy.

Speaker 8 I don't know.

Speaker 13 My father's simply saying that at his age, there are no bad smells. That you, once you get into 80, that's it.
All

Speaker 13 the fact that you're smelling anything.

Speaker 27 If I can smell, I'm alive.

Speaker 8 That's right.

Speaker 8 That's immensely shit.

Speaker 11 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 8 My wife says this is a sexy voice. It really is.

Speaker 15 Yeah, I'm hard. Thank you.

Speaker 8 Wow. Stugats.
So am I, actually. I don't know why.

Speaker 18 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 13 Put it on the poll, please, Juju.

Speaker 13 Does a punt sound like the word punt?

Speaker 13 The thing that's been happening around here that has been dismaying to me recently is the people here have been accusing me publicly of being a liar.

Speaker 13 And Billy does not believe that I get blood taken in the alley. So just this morning, I sent Billy this video this morning how are you how are you

Speaker 34 good billy you don't believe me that we get blood in the alley the blood fairy is here it's gonna look at a value it's gonna look like it's gonna look like heroin uh i'm i'm giving uh i'm getting heroin in the alley here

Speaker 13 Just a little update to prove to Billy that it's true.

Speaker 7 I mean, that must be so expensive.

Speaker 20 I'm no less concerned about the situation after the video evidence.

Speaker 13 But it's true, at least. You know that it's true.

Speaker 16 Well, we never saw the needle in the arm.

Speaker 20 That That is true, too. Didn't you get that horizontal?

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 13 Today, because of how humid it is in South Florida right now,

Speaker 13 it was leaking because she tried to put the bandage on and it wouldn't stick because of just

Speaker 13 how hot it is outside with no wind and stuff. You're just going down there and sweating.
So the bandage wouldn't stick, so

Speaker 13 it started leaking out from under the bandage.

Speaker 9 Maybe Billy was an outlier there. We always believed that.

Speaker 7 That one I believe.

Speaker 15 Yeah, no, I knew it was happening.

Speaker 8 Rich people probably.

Speaker 8 It's the mail thing.

Speaker 7 I don't believe you haven't gotten mail in 10 years.

Speaker 9 Rich people shit. It's the award show thing.

Speaker 8 The awards show.

Speaker 9 You've watched an award show. I just know it.

Speaker 20 Someone earlier today said, and I won't betray any confidence, someone earlier said today, Dan's become that friend that just says things.

Speaker 13 All of those things I said are true, though.

Speaker 13 When you say it's not that expensive, actually, it's rather complex.

Speaker 11 What are they doing?

Speaker 1 Taking blood, giving you blood?

Speaker 8 What's the deal with this blood exchange?

Speaker 13 They are taking blood so that doctors can look at where my blood is so that I can make sure that I'm healthy because we we need money to keep coming in here.

Speaker 19 How come no one doubts that you're a sleep farter?

Speaker 13 That just seems believable. Just look at me.

Speaker 8 It does.

Speaker 13 I think, put it on the poll at Lebittard Show. Can you identify sleep farters just from looking at people?

Speaker 20 What if a bus drives by with the blood ferry and like fumes get in like the needle somehow? And it's like, wow, you have a lot of

Speaker 20 carbon emissions in your blood.

Speaker 13 It's more than that. At 8 a.m.
every day, like clockwork, those garbage trucks come through on whatever the days are, Tuesday and Friday. They come through.
And it is not a healthy thing I am doing.

Speaker 13 Well, I guess it is a healthy thing. It's not the best place to do it.

Speaker 10 Hey, Dr. Ferry, just come upstairs.

Speaker 20 Let's do this in the living room, whatever, on the counter.

Speaker 13 It's just more convenient to get in and out the way that I'm doing it. It's just quicker.
I've got to get to other things. So these things are efficient.

Speaker 13 You guys don't believe the mail thing. The information of the mail gets to me.
I just don't.

Speaker 13 I don't know how to open our mailbox where it is at home. I don't know where the keys are to our mailbox.

Speaker 13 I have no idea where it is.

Speaker 16 You don't know how to open a mailbox?

Speaker 13 I don't know where the keys to our mailbox are. I don't, you know, what was the third thing that you guys don't believe?

Speaker 15 It was the

Speaker 15 award show.

Speaker 9 The award show for everything else is totally believable, and it would be unbelievable if you actually did pick up your own mail.

Speaker 13 I'm not alone. I think the majority of our audience probably hasn't watched an award show in 10 years.
Like, I think the award show has

Speaker 13 the grand majority of people are not watching the award shows.

Speaker 13 Like, whatever the numbers are, the dying numbers on award shows, the grand majority of people watching television are not watching the award shows.

Speaker 16 Yeah, but you could say half of the country's not watching the Super Bowl. I mean, you know, you're never going to get the audience that you used to have.

Speaker 13 When's the last time you saw an award show? When would you say was the last time you sat in front of a television and watched 10 minutes of an award show?

Speaker 16 Almost every award show because my wife is addicted to award shows. So if I'm in the house, the award show will be on.

Speaker 8 You're not watching the Grammys, pal?

Speaker 20 Aspire to be Greg's level of normal also is not.

Speaker 7 I feel like my dad's relationship with award shows is everyone's.

Speaker 7 It's on. It's in the middle of February.
I'm with you. Nobody is like, I have to watch this.

Speaker 8 No, there are a lot of people.

Speaker 13 There are a lot of people who will watch an award show, but that's just not one. Look, man, there's no appointment viewing any more other than live sports.
Like, there, there are no award shows.

Speaker 8 That's the whole point of award shows.

Speaker 10 That's why they're still a thing.

Speaker 7 But you can see them on clips, but a lot of the clips get put out to Dance Point. Like, you'll see all the good stuff online.

Speaker 13 Award shows are going the way of late-night television. It's just taking a little bit longer.

Speaker 16 I care about the Grammys. I'll watch the Country Music Awards.
I'm not big on the Emmys or the Golden Globes or anything like that, but my wife, for whatever reason, loves award shows.

Speaker 11 I like the red carpet.

Speaker 15 I'm a sucker for on a Sunday.

Speaker 7 It's nice Sunday television, getting ready for the work week. Let me just throw on the red carpet.
Like, I'm more into the red carpet than I am the actual awards.

Speaker 9 That's another thing. You're married.
I feel like Valerie would be all over a Grammy Awards or the occasional red carpet.

Speaker 16 Nope.

Speaker 7 See who Ryan Seacrest is talking to today.

Speaker 15 You guys aren't fans of the Glambot?

Speaker 20 Oh, yeah, I like the little thing where they also the one where you walk your fingernails on the red runway.

Speaker 8 Oh, I love that.

Speaker 15 Oh, wow, look at the manicure on this one.

Speaker 8 I miss John Rivers.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I hate the red carpet.

Speaker 15 I hate the question, who are you wearing?

Speaker 16 Really? That question just grates on my nerves every time I hear it. Who are you wearing?

Speaker 16 I'm wearing a jacket. I'm wearing a dress.

Speaker 10 They've changed it to.

Speaker 7 What's the story you're telling?

Speaker 8 Yeah, we've heard that too.

Speaker 13 Well, what's the story you're telling with that shirt we talked about for five minutes?

Speaker 15 It's my disco shirt.

Speaker 8 Yeah. But I'm saying we can't get that.

Speaker 15 We just did that. No, but who am I wearing?

Speaker 16 Like, I don't know

Speaker 11 the label on it.

Speaker 15 Who am I wearing?

Speaker 16 If you ask me,

Speaker 16 why are you wearing a weird shirt? I'm like, it's my disco shirt.

Speaker 15 What do we got here?

Speaker 20 Don't you love when, like, a costume becomes part of your regular wardrobe?

Speaker 8 Yes. What is it, Dan? I do.

Speaker 13 100% nylon.

Speaker 13 It's something called S-S-L-R.

Speaker 16 Sears and Roberts.

Speaker 13 I think it was Sears and Roebuck.

Speaker 16 I know, but my Nana Doogie used to say Sears and Roberts. She was like a Casey Stengel.

Speaker 16 You know, before her time, she would mispronounce words and almost get the right word, but instead of Sirson Roebuck, it was Sears and Roberts.

Speaker 8 God bless her soul.

Speaker 16 Nana Doogie died way too young.

Speaker 13 Died of sugar diabetes when she was in her early 60s.

Speaker 16 I barely remember her.

Speaker 9 Available at Walmart.

Speaker 7 Seem to be like Hawaiian-type shirts and casual wear.

Speaker 8 There you go.

Speaker 16 See, it's a big name in this line.

Speaker 7 See, I don't know if it's a big name.

Speaker 13 I wanted to ask you guys this question because a friend of mine told me just yesterday that he is no longer going to Publix

Speaker 13 because

Speaker 13 Publix is

Speaker 13 he's seen them side by side.

Speaker 13 That if you do the grocery shopping at Walmart, it's half as much right now as it is for the same things at Publix because of everything that's happening with farming, with tariffs, with inflation, with everything else that

Speaker 13 you can do your grocery shopping at a Walmart or a Target for half as much as you can in grocery stores that he's saying are now actively gouging because you could just put the prices next to each other and see that one place can afford to sell it for half as much as the other.

Speaker 13 Has this been your experience? Obviously, we've all seen what's gone up at the grocery store.

Speaker 13 I'm guessing all of you have seen like the places where the grocery stores don't have some things that they usually have.

Speaker 9 And all people, it seems like, are feeling the weight of how prices are changing the bigger corporations are under more pressure from the current administration to not have the prices um caused by tariffs rolled down to the customer also for big national brands uh those price increases take a couple of weeks to take into effect which is why a lot of uh economic experts are saying we haven't even felt the full brunt of the economic impact of the tariffs just yet but a a shop like publix which is more regional quicker to increase those prices uh chris can you give me a rough estimate for what this shirt, what is your father wearing?

Speaker 13 What is it? What is the story that he's telling now that we have studied that shirt? And it hasn't been worn a lot, right, Greg?

Speaker 16 No, it hasn't.

Speaker 16 This is probably the third or fourth time I've ever worn it.

Speaker 13 The bejeweled buttons are a nice touch. They are.
The golden crusted buttons. No, they're beautiful.

Speaker 16 I wish they snapped. They look like buttons that would snap, but they do like regular buttons, so that's a little bit of a problem.

Speaker 13 You don't have a louder shirt than that do you because it is from the Samson collection

Speaker 16 I have one shirt that's equal equally loud it's my horse racing shirt it's a colorful shirt that has you know pictures of horses and finish lines and you wear an honor

Speaker 13 and is La Grande what team valor glad you guys were listening to each other not talking over each other good job thank you

Speaker 9 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 13 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 9 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 13 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 9 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.

Speaker 8 Cuervo.

Speaker 9 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 8 Brooksimo, Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
