Hour 2: Chris Wins [Insert Money Here]

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

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.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

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.

As I ask you guys about this theme that I continue to hit because I'm interested in documentaries.

I like documentaries.

We're in the documentary business.

Bill Belichick announced yesterday that the long-rumored Hulu docuseries about UNC football this season is going to happen and is going to premiere this fall.

His girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, seemed to have taken a victory lap on Instagram before.

the news was announced.

She posted an image of her blowing a kiss to the camera as her and Belichick walked walked away.

And the caption included the handles for Ever Wonder, Hulu, Disney Plus, your level of interest in whatever this documentary is going to be, which I assume that Bill Belichick will have creative control over.

I don't think we're going to see anything that Bill Belichick doesn't want us to see.

Yeah, and that's the problem, right?

It's going to be the Jerry Jones thing, where if Belichick is controlling the whole thing, it's going to be exactly formulaic based on whatever he wants, and more important, doesn't want air.

But I'm interested.

Well, it is a natural evolution.

It's a way for him to evolve in the modern age as a 70-year-old with what is popular today when you guys are busy telling me the argument for two weeks now.

Hey, Jerry Jones wins, Dan.

He gets the money and the attention.

That's all that actually matters.

It's bound to be just a documentary about Bill Belichick and his transition from the Patriots into college football and hopefully about his controversial relationship with someone a third of his age.

Because if it ends up being the history of an unremarkable North Carolina.

It's not going to be his relationship.

There's no way it's going to be about his relationship.

They'll let us see what they want us to see.

And that'll be that.

And it's up to the consumer to decide whether or not they want to make that investment on the front end, knowing his reputation, how secretive he is, knowing that

their fingerprints are all over it.

Me, myself, not at all interested because I kind of have an idea of what I'd be getting there.

And that's going to be usually the case with documentaries that are authorized right now, unless you have a subject that is legitimately willing to give the entire truth.

Look, you have buy-in from Charlie Sheen in his upcoming Netflix documentary series.

I'm pretty sure that's going to be super interesting, and I don't mind that it's authorized by him, because it doesn't seem like he's going to be pulling any punches there.

So I'm in on that.

But I think with most cases in the documentary world, especially the ones that go to streamers, the consumer is going to have to make an educated guess as to whether or not this is the truth and should scrutinize whatever they see, understanding that is just one perspective.

And it's probably going to end up being a glorified series of recruiting videos for the Tar Heels, which I have no interest in watching.

You mentioned Charlie Shane.

I hadn't mentioned to you how close we were to making that particular movie, but the amount of money that he wanted, given in general what it is that is going on in his life, seemed unsafe.

Hey, man, we're constantly making it to metal stand.

Metal stand.

A lot of second place in your podium in F1.

Metal archery.

That one we said no to.

That one we said no to.

Yes, because

the amount of money that he wanted to do.

He probably deserves.

He said no to us.

Yes.

And he would, no, he did not say no to us.

Well, it sounds like you didn't meet the price.

Yeah, like if you go to a car dealership and they say this car will be $50,000

and you're like, I'll give you $40,000.

$8.

I'm out of here.

Too expensive.

Yeah.

It was ours for the taking.

Wow.

If we had the.

Yeah.

I said no to a Maserati the other day.

I'm like, I'm not doing it.

No, it was affordable.

Like, we could have done it.

It just would have put some things at risk, but we could have done it.

Really?

Couldn't you have lowballed it?

We would have lost Jeremy.

It sounds like there wasn't a lot of competition for this guy's story.

No, there is.

There is a lot of competition.

I have broken up with Scarlett Johansson.

I understand that.

It was a tough decision.

You weren't.

Look, man, you hit me the other day, right after you hit me with, I made a musical buster or whatever it is.

You hit me right after that with, oh, really,

Dan, you're questioning whether Carson Beck looked like Cam Ward

in fall practice when I was there and you weren't.

For both camps.

So I'm in on the Charlie Sheen discussions and you're not.

Well, it's just, it's cool.

Like, you didn't meet the price and he went with someone that made the price.

It doesn't seem like you broke up with him.

Still second place, though.

Congrats.

No, it would have been first place.

Silverman.

It would have been first place.

We chose second place.

Silverman.

I didn't say we were second place.

First place is a lot of pressure.

We might have been tied with everybody else.

We might have been tied forever.

I'm not even saying we're second place there.

On the Cowboys, we were second place.

That's why John Skipper's.

Is that our choosing or theirs?

That's their choosing.

The NFL's choosing, I think.

I don't think that was even Jerry's choosing.

Well, because your pitch was probably, we'd like an honest look.

I do believe if you're not first, you're last.

Why do you guys keep falling for this whole documentary thing, especially with sports, thinking like you're going to get anything that's honest?

Well,

this is one of the conundrums that's in play right now that I will reveal as it relates to the specifics of Isaiah Thomas, for example, as a documentary story.

That gets about 10 steps down the line with 10 different meetings with 10 different people.

And at the very end, somebody says, hey, Isaiah, you know we're going to have to ask about the sexual harassment stuff, right?

And that's where these things are going to fall apart in the future, everywhere, wherever it is that you're granting access in exchange for a piece of the story.

And it's what's going to get contaminated in the storytelling as you only have four or five entities telling any kinds of stories, and they'll do it the way the Gators did their story on Netflix, where it's just you're getting a piece of it, but you're not getting the piece of it that I've told you before.

The best sports documentary I've seen recently was the What Max did and Armin Katayan with Tiger Woods.

Not Taurasi?

Available now?

It did not have Tiger Woods'

participation.

And

it was amazing because it didn't have his participation.

And you had an assortment of people talking.

The way I would have liked to hear some people talk about Jerry Jones if they put any of them on camera who might have said the things about Jerry Jones that would have been an exhaustive look at Jerry Jones as opposed to what it is that they did, which is just public relations for Jerry Jones.

I totally get that.

If I'm reading a book that says unauthorized biography, I assume it's going to be more truthful than the biography written by the autobiography.

So same way with documentaries.

I don't know, though, that anybody that's listening to this actually cares of that particular contamination in this age of both fake news and choose your own truth.

Because we're, what are we, 15 minutes removed from Trump saying, what about being a dictator?

As everybody wonders whether he's hiding his ankles from us because he's in poor health.

Well, he's also hiding his hands from us.

But on top of that, he said, I believe, and let me get the direct quote for you.

Quote,

nope, doing a bad job here.

Wasn't ready to have this one.

A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator.

A lot of people.

That's the direct quote.

A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator.

He went on to say,

I'm not a dictator.

I don't like a dictator.

But a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like one.

When it comes to coaches, I do believe that most people in our audience would like their football team to have the boss that they themselves would not like to have.

Somebody who's a disciplinarian and bossing people around and showing people who's in charge.

So as this situation in Dallas escalates with Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones, Mike Florio is pointing out that Parsons is yet to practice and he's saying he's got a back problem.

Now, Jerry Jones says that's negotiating.

Everything is fine with his back.

They say he's faking it.

Well, he had to lay down in the middle of the game the other night, too.

His poor back was hurting.

He definitely wasn't taking a nap during the game that he was sitting out of.

The MRI of Parsons' back was, according to Schottenheimer, pretty clean.

I don't know what that means.

It means clean enough to play.

And as one source with knowledge of the procedure explained to Mike Florio, the Cowboys can now send a letter to Parson explaining that he's cleared to practice and that it's conduct detrimental and, you know, also insubordination if he doesn't practice and they can go as deep as a four-game penalty.

Mike Ryan is dismissing this all as noise, but they,

you would agree, correct, that there are certain things that you might not be able to take back in public when it's an 80-year-old doing business against somebody in his early 20s in the modern age.

And you can fix it all with money, as Jerry Jones often does by overspending just to have his spectacle in the news.

But we are in agreement that this risks something, are we not?

Or are we just saying, no, their behavior, these behaviors are going to be fine, and Micah Parsons is going to be understood by Jerry Jones at the end as long as he comes and he pays him.

I think if he gets the biggest contract ever at his position, then all is well.

I have to think that heals and solves everything.

If he doesn't, maybe there's some after effect here.

If he doesn't, then it would end differently for the first time in Jerry Jones' history running the Dallas Cowboys.

The difference that I would say here, though, is at least not lacking in substance.

This is the one guy the Cowboys have had who is insistent on having his own platform.

This is the one star that they have who also wishes to be a star with his mouth in a way that not everyone else is profiting off of because he wants his own platform the same way Mike Bibby and all these guys have noticed that the platform has value.

Micah Parsons, we are in agreement that the star that Micah Parsons is on that team, different from Dak Prescott, different from CeeDee Lamb, he wants to be a personality.

Like, it's clear that he also wants the attention that Jerry Jones craves.

That makes him different than any of the other Cowboys I have seen in the modern age.

It makes him represent the modern age.

He is what the athlete is becoming.

And in this case, all Micah Parsons is doing is leveling the playing field because nobody has a bigger platform than Jerry Jones in the NFL.

Jerry can say whatever he wants and everybody's writing it down and repeating it on the air.

So Micah Parsons finally has his own platform and good for him.

Does it matter though is what I'm saying to you.

Once you get past the contract negotiations of this, do you guys think that this is not going to be a problem going forward with Micah Parsons?

He's already talking too much for their liking.

These teams like to have control of these things.

Tyreek Hill did not speak when he was in Kansas City.

Travis Kelsey did one season of his dating show, and then Andy Reid said, we need to not be doing that in public anymore.

We're watching a Netflix documentary where Michael Irvin is the only one raising his hand and actually volunteering.

I'll talk about all of my bad shit and I'll throw it all in public.

But Micah Parsons is willing to get messy with the owner.

Des Bryant got messy with the owner and got his money.

Ezekiel Elliott got messy.

He got his money.

Zach Martin didn't get messy, but the action of waiting to the very last second is, you know, it's messy.

People, what is the situation right now with Cam Hayward in Pittsburgh?

Aren't some of these guys just trying to avoid all of training camp?

Aren't some of these guys just not wanting to do any of, coach is going to make me miserable for a month?

Just tell me when the collisions start.

I'll show up.

I'm a whatever it is that Cam Hayward is 14-year 14-year veteran I don't need training camp

can you blame them I mean if you're a proven veteran you don't need

you you need training camp you don't need three exhibition games Josh Allen didn't take a single snap in the preseason for the first time in his career that's going to be a little bit of a trend I think no they've been going the opposite I've noticed this year more teams are playing players I know that's an example of not but Tua played this year Tua played this year Tua's not proven in a way that Josh Allen is Joe Burrow played every game but the reason Joe Burrow played is because the Bengals seem to think that it's not that Joe Burrow has been unhealthy coming into the season is why he struggles.

It's because it takes a little while for him to warm up.

So they're warming him up in the preseason, putting him at risk to get injured so that he's revving when week one comes around, which is an absurd theory, but we'll see how that plays.

Kyler Murray also played this year, didn't play last year.

I think it's going the other way.

Like, I saw more people playing this year.

Okay, but if you're Cam Hayward, if you trust a veteran, accomplished player, and I'm the head coach, I'm going, you tell me what you need.

How much do you need to play in this preseason?

Because you've proven it.

You've been proving it in the NFL longer than I've been a head coach.

You tell me what you need to get ready.

Hey, Tony.

Hey, Mike.

Hey, man.

Summer's almost ending, man.

I don't like that.

There's no way.

There's no way.

I am excited about cooler temperatures, but down here in South Florida, that just means slightly less boiling.

Hot.

It's been a pretty incredible summer.

We've had a parade down here.

We've grown our family down here at Metal Arc Media.

A lot of exciting things, a lot of memorable benchmarks.

And along the way, at almost every step, I've been tailed by that beautiful white can of Miller Light.

Oh, that beautiful white can.

Or the brown bottle.

You can do it on draft.

Draft is crisp.

There has been so many great special times.

And each time, I've decided to make those special times a Miller time.

Whether it's a long weekend like one we got coming up or a full-on vacation, it is a perfect time to get the crew back together.

This here marks 50 years of Miller time.

50 years of great taste, great friends, and unforgettable memories.

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-in.

SimplySafe helps stop it before that happens.

Don Lebatard.

I heard that as a woman faking pain.

I didn't think that sounded real.

I really didn't.

You know?

It was not fake.

It was in no way fake.

You can spot a woman faking it.

Stugats.

Yes, I can, Jess.

Expert.

I've been married 40 years.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

I was happy to hear from Billy.

He also is warming up to be the Duke, one of the biggest insiders there is anywhere in national and international football.

And I heard

that Billy had a football proposal for us, and I have been remiss in not getting to it before now.

We usually clear the way when Dookie has a football proposal to make.

Yeah, so I don't know if you guys have caught on.

Preseason's done, season's starting, but there's a week in between.

College football is going to happen, but the NFL, you now have a week in between where they can rest and get their bodies right and kind of just get sorted out for the season.

So

I was thinking, what if during the football season we just had a universal buy where there's just one week of no football?

And I know you guys are thinking, that's terrible.

I can't do that.

But

I mean, I sometimes find it hard to get my things done, my chores done.

I can't go out of town for the weekend because there's football that needs to be watched.

I feel like if we have a football holiday in the middle of the football season, everyone can get right.

A buy for fans.

A buy for fans.

And the players, too.

Yeah, they can get healthy.

You just have a universal buy for all the teams.

You put it, I don't know.

We have that before the Super Bowl, right?

That's not what you want, though.

You want like a universal award.

Pro Bowl games are that weekend, Dan.

You're telling me you're not watching the Pro Bowl games?

That's what he's telling you.

You got Tuesday, Wednesday.

All right.

That's plenty of time to get there.

You got award shows.

I haven't seen them in 15 years

i feel like the first week of december maybe you know after thanksgiving i don't like this i don't think i've seen a pro bowl since sean taylor was alive because that's the last pro bowl memory that i had

i don't

i'm inclined to believe that award shows get out of here in revelations dan says he hasn't gotten a piece of mail in a decade yeah that

did happen maybe twenty nine maybe twenty nine i

physically gone to get my mail you didn't see any of the ricky gervais golden globes i saw i saw twenty of it no i've seen I see award show the way that others, I imagine, are watching award shows, which is clips long after they're over.

Are you saying start to finish or like the 7-8th situation?

Like what are we charging?

I've been tuned into an award show in 15 years where I'm going to my television with the purpose of I want to see this, not even the Oscar show that we did here.

You didn't see the opening of the 2010 primetime Emmys when Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, and the cast of Glee sang born to run.

I mean, come on, Dan.

By the way, born to run, 50 years.

Congrats, Briggs.

I have no idea what that is.

Okay, this is, I don't have anything against these shouts of liar from you guys other than to tell you I'm not lying.

And then we're just...

It's not liar.

It's unlikely.

That's really what I'm yelling.

It's the 15 years part that's.

It just seems like a weird flex, let's say.

But I'm not flexing.

Could you have forgotten one that you tuned into three years ago?

It'll take three or four years, not 15.

I understand that you guys don't believe me on this.

No.

I know.

You're clear in dismissing this.

I just don't have anywhere to go after that other than to tell you I don't watch award shows and I also don't watch Pro Bowls, but I thought that Billy's idea there of the customers getting a break midway through the season, I think I'd appreciate it.

Up to Epcot, a little food and wine action.

Not a bad idea.

This is almost as annoying as when my dad wants in our fantasy draft to take a break.

It's like a thing in fantasy drafts, you don't take a break.

You have a break between picks.

All right.

The draft always is moving.

My dad is like, after round four, we will now pause for five minutes and everyone go to the bathroom.

Ever heard of halftime junior?

Everyone does.

Go to the bathroom when you're not picking.

The draft always stays moving.

There's no breaks in drafts.

That's an arbitrary thing.

You go to the bathroom, you come back, you see what picks you missed.

No, you go five.

I almost said innings.

You go five rounds.

He almost said piss.

I did.

You go five rounds, you take a five-minute break, you go five more rounds, you take a five-minute break, then you finish the draft.

There you go.

Right there.

Washington and Terry McLaren have agreed to a three-year deal.

Thank God the Lobos just drafted.

That's

made up after that ugly holdout.

You were mocked, too.

I know I was.

Who's got the last laugh now?

Go Lobos.

Go Lobos.

I saw the 49ers have two guys that got shot.

No.

Hurcel and who?

Robinson got traded there.

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

That's true.

Ryan.

They got two dudes that got shot.

Do we have any details since we're now doing this as the breaking news reaction on Jalen Brown's father stabbing someone since we're doing just a violent crime outbreak somehow around what it is the breaking news is?

I have some details if you'd like.

What a week for dads.

According to

the family.

I'm just kidding, go ahead.

Be helpful, please.

No, no, thanks.

No, come on.

57-year-old Quentin Marcellus Brown was arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing another man in a parking lot.

According to jail records, he was booked on that charge and his bail bond was set at $300,000.

Three News in Las Vegas reported that the incident started over a, quote, door ding.

The victim and his girlfriend were sitting in a vehicle at All-American Park when Brown parked his SUV next to them.

Brown opened his passenger side door, hitting their vehicle.

Witnesses identified Brown, who was listed at seven feet tall and 300 pounds, at the scene.

The stabbing as a crime is so personal and intimate that I don't know what to do with it as a talking point.

Just getting so physically close to somebody that somewhere in what would be a car ding or rage, you would be capable of just stabbing them seems like a level of violence that I'm not capable of

understanding.

The gun's okay.

I'm not saying it's okay.

I'm not saying it's okay.

I'm just saying, in fact, the gun comes with bigger penalties and consequences for obvious reasons.

I'm just saying the mindset of somebody who is willing to stab you is not something that I am able to comprehend.

Where was the victim stabbed?

Does it say?

Oh.

Because I think that matters.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

If he's stabbed in the arm, you can't charge him with a gun.

This is not where I had all of this breaking news ending up.

If I try to stab you and I'm going toward your chest and I end up in your bicep, that's not attempted murder.

I learned a lot.

Not if I'm a defense lawyer.

Ill no.

Dan Lebetard on stabbing, colon, couldn't fathom it.

It's just too intimate.

That's the issue.

Intimacy.

According to people, it says witnesses told police that Brown allegedly stabbed the coach as many as 25 times.

Whoa, God.

Yeah, youth football coach, a 28-year-old youth football coach.

Oh, my God.

How did we end up here?

I don't think location matters at 25 times.

That's That's really your fault.

Yeah, we'll give him a little bit of a map.

I asked for details, and then you said, I can't do anything with that.

You'll give him attempted murder death?

I will, yeah.

I love how Levittard calls stabbing an act of intimacy.

That's interesting.

I'm not taking it back.

Okay.

Or should you?

It is.

I do like, I don't like this.

The visual of like a romantic stabbing is what you're painting there.

Baby.

Intimate.

Like an intimate moment.

Baby.

That's how you keep the Cody name alive.

Thank you.

That is not.

Just because they're too close together?

You're not allowed to keep it alive if you just give Gracelyn your last name.

Yeah.

That doesn't count.

What if she adopts my last name?

It's cheating the system.

I don't think it is.

That's not the true bloodline.

Yeah.

Why should women give up their surnames?

That's a great question.

What if I adopt a boy?

Will that you accept that?

That's not the bloodline.

Another asterisk.

I'm sorry.

You could love him like a son.

He could be your son.

Yeah.

What if...

Wait, I don't like that.

What if Greg gives the adopted boy, something happens, a blood transfusion?

Then Greg's blood is back in play here.

You know, that's not a bad idea.

Yeah.

I'm naming him Fred.

I want to get that going.

Fred.

Fred.

Fred Cody.

I don't like this conversation.

Let's go back to the stabbing.

My bloodline dies with me, and I'm okay with that.

You're okay with that?

Wow.

I still got Michael, you know, maybe he can sow his seed and produce a blood.

What's going on with you where the last couple of weeks we're talking about your tombstone, your mortality, and you're giving a lot of thought to how your name is remembered and placing it in your youngest son's middle name just so that it gets remembered.

Right.

You know, once you get to be 70, you know, knock, knock, knocking.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Heaven's door.

Yeah.

I get the reference.

Thank you.

You're saying they're almost dead.

I appreciate that.

No, I mean, I hope to be here in 15 years.

I'll be here.

The show will be gone, but I will be in this studio all by myself

15 years from today.

That's a good bet.

What lasts longer?

You know, I've often wondered.

I drove by the Clevelander like two weeks ago, and I wondered because it didn't seem there was much activity.

I feel like if I walked into the Clevelander, there's still just the studio there.

I got a message on social media that led me to assume the poppy elevator door wrap is still alive.

Yeah.

There are artifacts of a bygone era.

You guys should read, though, about what they're doing over there because it's one of the controversial moves.

They're going to build that straight into the sky right now, where there's all sorts of fighting going on.

Great idea.

Super, superb idea in in the infrastructure that we have on Miami Beach.

That's a really good idea.

Well, if you saw the infrastructure that we particularly had at the club, that's what I'm saying.

It's insane.

That's crazy.

I mean, at that point, it all feels like this is some grand conspiracy to allow for lawlessness to devastate an area so real estate landlords can come over and feel like conquering heroes and have buy-in from an adoring public to clean up the streets.

But who would have connection to those real estate landlords?

I don't understand.

So you guys are out on my football universal bye week?

I think it's a great idea.

No, it isn't.

No, no.

No, we waited too long.

The bye week was a six months that happened.

You have Tuesday and Wednesday.

Get your shit done.

Yes.

May I suggest a tweak to Billy's grand idea?

Yeah.

My tweak would be: call it halftime.

Say into halftime.

It's a halftime show.

And no, talk to the mic, though.

And the mic's to you, though.

And the stars are the fans.

Oh, wow.

Okay, here's what you do.

Yes.

Wow, you split a season right in the middle between NFL and college.

Right in an agreed-upon middle.

You have a not one, but two-week break.

A two-week break.

At halftime, double halftime.

Up to two seasons.

And you make the fans the stars.

Yes.

What does that mean?

Well, you know, both leagues get together.

Goodell and the commissioner of college football, which there is none.

I wish I was that.

They get together and they have a series of concerts.

A fan all-star data.

Nationwide, yes.

And the fans perform.

Wait.

Fans perform?

Fans perform.

Look, I saw the fans perform on the Zoom pandemic draft where they were all on screens and nobody could be together with each other.

And that just made me sad.

Now you have a talent show involved in the fans.

Billy, I don't know what you're laughing here.

You got us.

You got the craziest of it.

Look, I'm grateful.

I took us over to Jalen Brown's dead.

So I'm just grateful that you guys are making a total mess of this just to get me away from the previous total mess I made.

But what you're saying is ridiculous.

I don't want to replace the football season with two weeks of fans performing nationwide, though.

Like an American Idol talent show.

And the two commissioners, one of which doesn't exist are judges for the talent contest you you take the dolphins as as as an example since they're from our area

do the Miami Dolphins have 50 fans who are truly talented of course they do you know maybe you get an MC Gloria Stefan maybe somebody some local are celebrity fans allowed to participate oh yeah we encourage them Darius Rucker could do something exactly great Cody could participate but they can't do what they're good at like Darius Rucker would have to cook why Serena Williams could like do ballet.

Like she can't play tennis.

That's a thought.

Not a good one, but that's a thought.

Yeah.

Chris, you got to take this more seriously, man.

Boostmobile is a legit nationwide network, so I have to take a break from the jokes here for one second and put on my serious voice because I would never, ever joke about a nationwide network that has invested billions building towers across the country.

Not even once, I would.

Not even if Mr.

Boost Mobile himself asked me to.

There's nothing funny about this.

The Lebatard.

What do I got here?

I got a magnum condom.

We won't get that out.

That's shocking.

Stugats.

Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.

Right next to the condom.

Yeah.

He's got a little reminder.

Yeah, forever.

Never forget it.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Billy, you've been very critical of Chris and his social media recently.

I don't know what Chris is doing wrong that has you in his sights, but what is happening here with Chris Cody?

No, not critical.

Chris had an interesting social media weekend, so Chris didn't tell us, but Chris apparently went and participated in a poker tournament in which he won.

And very early, either Saturday or Sunday morning, we saw a post go out there that was posted by the tournament that Chris won with a very sleepy looking Chris Cody sitting at a poker table with all his chips saying that he won and there was a $40,000 pot and all this stuff.

So the internet was ablaze talking about Chris Cody and his newfound fortune and all the money that he had won.

Chris Cody reposted the celebratory post saying that he was the big winner of this tournament and this and that and whatever.

And then like a couple hours later, Chris then made a follow-up post telling people, by the way, didn't win that much money, which was a a weird, I thought, kind of turn to this story.

Well, it's because the post said tournament 40K, and I just kind of assume people know Poe, like, that's the total prize pool.

And I had like dozens of messages, like, you won 40K, and I was just like, I just felt the need to get out there of, like, I did win some money, but it wasn't 40K.

Why did you feel that need to just tell people I was like, because I had dozens of people being like, let me borrow my, like, dude, you just won 40K?

And I'm just like, guys, back off.

So let me get this straight.

When you win a poker tournament at X blank place,

that place publishes who won the tournament.

They have a social media, this particular one.

I don't think all places do.

Was it because you're a celebrity or

if you look, they post every Friday.

Well, I wouldn't like that.

I wouldn't like that.

I want to remain private.

I'm a private winner.

You know what's funny about that?

Boog Shambi won a bunch of money in Vegas and

Greg Cody reported it in his blog, infuriating Boog Shambi.

And your father defended his right to do that and now just contradicts himself by saying, I'd want to keep that private when you betrayed Boogshambi one time because he simply won, I don't know, 10 grand playing blackjack, and you published it in random evidence of a cluttered mind.

He published it on his blog and in the newspaper.

Yeah, Boog's a public figure, but I also have a memory.

Tell me if I'm wrong, because this is a vague memory.

If you do something private with a public figure, that doesn't make it newsworthy.

Chris isn't a public figure?

Public-ish.

Will you decide that?

Yeah.

Who else but me?

Maybe the public.

When you're not busy being the commissioner.

Didn't I steal, not steal, but didn't I grab a $500 chip from Boog in a casino once and start running off with it?

And he got pissed?

Or am I making all that up?

I have a memory of that.

Get Boog on the phone right now and ask him.

So you stole $500 from him?

I think I did.

Did you give back?

And a couple of times over the years, we've reached out to Boog to be on my podcast, Crickets.

So

I don't think he's a big fan of mine to this day.

You know what?

If you win $10,000, you can't keep it a secret.

When he tells me he wins $10, I assume.

So we don't have to say how much I won.

I assume that he told his wife.

You want me to bleep that one?

Come on.

Oh, Dad, I posted it on Instagram, but didn't tell my wife.

I mean, you know, I'm just assuming.

Yes, you can bleep that, Jeremy.

He's pretty good.

All right.

Yeah, bleep that.

Whatever.

It wasn't 40.

You just revealed to everybody what the number was when your son had not revealed what the number was.

Uncle Sam's not listening.

You're fine.

Let's put that on Cam Nori.

So what are you going to do with all that money?

That's not a lot of money to you, Chris.

That's

not a lot of money.

I've played a lot of poker tournaments.

Like, it's not all profit, folks.

We're chasing it.

That's the truth.

Well, now we're up, but we were chasing it.

College fun for Grayson, maybe?

Greg.

Yeah.

What did you just do?

The entanglement of what you just did, betraying your son, betraying Bugshambi, being inconsistent in general about what your take is on this, and then defending again your right to publish and betray both Bugshambi and now your son.

Right.

I'm spitting facts.

Jack.

Jack.

How do we all say it back here?

It's the same way when I reported about your engagement to Val.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

I'm reporting a fact.

You're a public figure.

Boog Shombi.

Yeah, big star.

Baseball broadcaster.

You just said of your son that you wouldn't like it very much if they published the amount of his winnings and then you said the amount of his winnings.

It should be up to him to report it.

Not up to said casino.

I mean, granted, I did share that I won, but I didn't say the specific amount.

So you revealed the only thing I had picked up.

No, because they bleeped it out.

No, don't bleep it out.

No, we're going to bleep it.

I'm bleeping it.

Whoa.

It was

$2

is how much it was.

It was $2.

That's all right.

But second place.

Really?

What are you saying?

What are you doing, man?

The best part was, if we're going to get into a little detail here, I got heads up with a guy who called him.

I'm not going to disrespect him.

He said pro.

And I was like, it's late here.

You want to just chop this thing?

Peace?

Bleep that.

And get out of here.

And he's like, you know, I'm a professional, so I'm going to have to decline.

I like my edge.

It's nothing against you.

You played very well.

And then I beat him.

Damn, right.

Peace.

So then, then you won.

If we had split, it was

like that plus.

Oh, no, that's true.

Are you fixing?

Are you kidding?

I'm going to have to put 35 pieces in this hour.

You guys don't understand how, like, you can make a deal at the end of a tournament.

And if you don't want to play it out, you can, like, split the money.

So you won't do

no.

It was 12.

Have fun, Jeremy.

He won.

Beep.

Don't bleep it out, Jeremy.

Leave it all in.

Please bleep it out.

No, leave it in.

I do think comedically it's actually funnier if we bleep all of it.

Yeah, it is.

Can you imagine the amount of bleeps these people are going to have to listen to in their car?

I don't want to do that to them just because, like, the mess that Greg Cody just made, I believe the betrayal should stand out right.

We shouldn't hide it from our audience.

It's already out there.

Look, I've had to live with a worse betrayal from your father.

You can live with this betrayal from your father and the consequences of that, and the audience will appreciate the honesty.

Oh, it's a betrayal.

Even though it'll be funnier.

The exact amount.

He gave the exact amount.

No, no, you.

Their engagement's not a betrayal.

It's a celebration of love.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You're ashamed?

It's a motherfucker.

Do you want the world to know?

The greatest news in his life.

Yeah.

I share it from the mountains.

And he gets mad at me.

Dance in love.

Ridiculous.

Celebrated.

Well, you're welcome.

Well, as far as I'm concerned.

Bowlery didn't tell her.

That's right.

She wasn't ready for the influence.

Better way to learn than to read it in the Herald.

Family don't want to earn.

That's right.

Family don't want to earn.

Don't want to learn.

That's a good tombstone for your father.

Bro, my draft kings.

Guy Don't Want to Earn.

You are in.

Guy Don't Want to Learn.

Brought to you by DraftKings.

It's pretty good.

Yeah, that's not bad.

I want our audience.

We're going to have a contest to see who it is that can do better.

But yes, the problem there was less with me, though it was also a betrayal of me, than it was my scampering bride who had to then inform everybody of information that your father had released before it was ready to be released and if we can get a hold of boobshambi we can get to the bottom of whether greg cody did indeed run off with 500 a 500 chip but for sure he betrayed him in print for sure he did that

well i mean you know why would he be betrayed did he not tell his significant other that he had won is that it's not information that he wanted public and it's the same thing you just i don't want to do this with you again you just argued before 10 minutes ago, you argued that this is not something that you would want in public.

Like I pointed out to you this past of yours that includes another betrayal.

It seems like Greg's just spreading good news.

Thank you, but I haven't heard any negativity that Greg has put out there yet.

He's just celebrating his friends and their accomplishments.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, there's no doubt about that.

And when the Jama said,

I don't know that it was held at a mighty.

But the casino,

the casino puts puts out there that forty thousand dollars

people can figure out well the winning total of forty k is not forty thousand because they pay others so you know

i'm not breaking any uh shock shocking news by saying uh bleep

well put that kind of thing

better tell my wife huh yeah

no i she knows because she competent she trust me i lost like a quarter of it instantly did you say she confiscated it?

No,

she commented on it is what I said.

Wives love money.

She may have confiscated it.

As soon as I got home with that, she's like, all right, three of this is going to the credit card bill.

People love money.

You were going to say the verb, his wife confiscated it when he got home.

Yeah, I meant to say commented on it when they were at our house for our PFPI fantasy draft yesterday.

Lobos really kicked ass.

Even Christopher, who hates all my drafts.

He had a good draft.

Yeah, thank you.

Did you do the two halftimes?

Yeah, we did.

Nice.

Do you have the Lobos imaging so that we could get all your father's thoughts on this before we get out of here for the post-game show?

Let's see if we can get a full Lobos update here now that he made the big trade that he got.

Nope.

Not good.

Thank God.

Because you all were fitting to get me on the hard network out.

That's what you were doing.

Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

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.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

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.
