Speaker 13 This is the Don Labatar Show with the Stew Gats Podcast.

Speaker 14 Chris Cody, I'm a little afraid of everything that's happening here. Zazzlo was explaining to you the perils of live television.
Chuck Todd certainly knows about that.

Speaker 14 Longtime journalist, former NBC News chief political analyst and moderator of Meet the Press. His podcast, the Chuck Toddcast, is going to be celebrated here.
Now, you guys like that name?

Speaker 11 You like the Chuck Todd?

Speaker 15 Appreciate it.

Speaker 14 Thanks. Thank you.
So Chuck's with us now, but also we've got this cooking segment going on that seems like a bit of an apocalypse. We've got bad audio.

Speaker 14 It seems like the camera worked for the bear except by accident instead of on purpose.

Speaker 16 You guys missed me up there.

Speaker 14 And no Jeremy up there either. So let's go to, hold on a second, Chuck.
I know there's serious journalistic things to talk about.

Speaker 14 But Greg Cody, give me an update on where you guys are on this soup off, please.

Speaker 17 I have just cooked and integrated my vegetables into the soup. And really, I'm going to be done fairly soon.

Speaker 14 And how are you feeling right now? Are you as confident as you were before?

Speaker 17 Yes. Yes, I am.
I'm very confident.

Speaker 17 My soup has a little color now with beautiful chopped carrots. I think we're going to be great.
I love the way it looks. I think I'm going to love the way it looks.

Speaker 19 All right, hold on.

Speaker 14 Chuck, hold on just a second. I'll see if you have any questions here.
You know Greg Cody, and the problem is if I throw you to Greg Cody, he's going to get so delighted.

Speaker 14 He's going to get so delighted, he'll get distracted and just be delighted that a famous person knows who he is. So I'm scared to throw you and the show toward him.

Speaker 14 Greg, can you just ask Mike Ryan how he's feeling about things, please?

Speaker 17 Mike, how are you feeling?

Speaker 19 You know, I don't like that I'm helping you.

Speaker 20 You didn't come with olive oil. You didn't even come with a set of knives.
You don't have a chopping board. You're dulling out my knives.

Speaker 19 I don't know why I'm helping this old man at all on his birthday.

Speaker 20 It's a competition.

Speaker 17 Okay, Mike just dropped a cigarette ash into his dish.

Speaker 14 Into his dish or your dish? Okay.

Speaker 14 All right, we're wasting Chuck Todd's time here. All right, Chuck, do you have anything to say, Greg Cody? You've known him for a long time.

Speaker 14 What would you like to say to him before we get started here?

Speaker 15 You talking to Greg or me?

Speaker 14 You, Chuck.

Speaker 15 Oh, well, I just was, I'm just ecstatic that there's ash in the soup because no good soup, you know, there's nothing that makes me want to eat than knowing there's cigarette smoking going on right at the same time that we're preparing the food.

Speaker 15 I just thought that was an excellent secret ingredient.

Speaker 14 How, uh, what is your relationship with Greg Cody?

Speaker 15 I think I was a guest on his podcast twice.

Speaker 16 That's it?

Speaker 11 Not entirely sure, though.

Speaker 21 He thinks

Speaker 15 you tell,

Speaker 15 you know,

Speaker 15 he returned my call, you didn't over the years. He cared that I was from Miami.
You didn't. Other than that, you know, that's how me and Greg are tight.

Speaker 14 You and I have never spoken before. You were at the Miami game, Notre Dame game, were you not? Are you a lunatic?

Speaker 15 I was. No, no, I'm sick.
I was. I'm a season ticket holder.
I have been off and on for me, off and on for 30 years, my family going back to the 50s.

Speaker 8 Season ticket holder. Did you go to the Bethune-Cookman game?

Speaker 15 No, I didn't go to the Bethune-Cookman game. And perhaps I was.

Speaker 22 I didn't go to the University of Miami, but that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 15 All right, but I do pay my daughter's tuition. Is that okay?

Speaker 23 That's fair. Yeah, your daughter.

Speaker 15 All right. She's a senior there, okay? So, you know, cut me a little slack.
My mom went there. My aunt went there.

Speaker 24 So you're not just to the family going to George Washington University.

Speaker 15 No football team.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, you chose that.

Speaker 22 You chose an uncle for a football team.

Speaker 15 No, no, no, no. They had no football team, which made it easier.

Speaker 14 So you failed as a hurricane.

Speaker 15 Yes. Okay.

Speaker 15 Huge failure.

Speaker 14 Just compared to your family, I mean. Just compared to your family.

Speaker 15 Absolutely. You are

Speaker 14 less hurricane than your family, and and they have that over you.

Speaker 15 They do, but I have an honorary degree now from that place. I did the commencement a couple of times, so they won't give me an honorary doctorate, but at least they gave me an honor.

Speaker 15 What it really means is that they just ask for money more often.

Speaker 14 It means you're a tropical depression.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 14 It means they're hurricanes, and you're at the tailgate.

Speaker 15 Fair enough. Fair enough.
But somebody's got to pay for this. Somebody's got to pay Carson Becky.

Speaker 26 You can't buy your way into Iron Arrow. Maybe an honorary degree now.

Speaker 14 Golden Kane.

Speaker 24 You could buy his way in.

Speaker 14 You can, but not into Iron Arrow. That's what Chuck Todd is angling for.

Speaker 15 Iron Arrow's tough. I'm hoping my daughter gets in on that.
We'll see. We'll find out in a few months.

Speaker 14 But what is your greatest of sports allegiances? Is it that or the Packers?

Speaker 15 It's no, it's the Hurricanes. It's the Emerson Miami.
So every childhood memory. Come on.
I grew up. My first memory of going to a football game was watching Otis Anderson play football.

Speaker 15 Back then, Miami, third and eight, and the best way to get a first down was to pitch it to him.

Speaker 15 It just, you know, when your formative years as a sports fan culminate with what we got to witness from 83 to 90,

Speaker 15 I live and die by them. Live and die by them.

Speaker 15 My mood goes up and down. Even in the Al Golden years, even in the,

Speaker 15 you name it, all of those horrible years of the last two decades.

Speaker 15 Every year I have too much hope,

Speaker 15 and every year my heart got broken.

Speaker 8 Chuck, your favorite moment in the stands at the Orange Bowl is what?

Speaker 15 It was the wiping out Deion Sanders in Florida State.

Speaker 28 31-0.

Speaker 15 31-0 when they came in and they did the music video and it was open. I believe it was the first game of the season.

Speaker 15 That's my favorite. Probably second favorite is Dennis Devin Hester's first game, if you remember.
when he, the first time he touched the ball, he returned it for a touchdown.

Speaker 24 Did you get a game ball? What is that ball over your head with your name that says Miami Hurricanes?

Speaker 15 It means I gave them a lot of money.

Speaker 14 Oh, they give you one of those money.

Speaker 15 That's what it means.

Speaker 14 You give them a lot of money, and they send you one of those.

Speaker 15 They send you one of those. You know, and it comes in this elaborate box, and you're like, boy, what is this? And you're like, oh, it's a deflated football.
Okay.

Speaker 15 Well, I have a podcast studio, so I need to use something. I need to put something in there.

Speaker 14 I have so many questions to ask you that are not sports related, but you know.

Speaker 15 I was also at the Floody game, by the way, which is a searing memory in my head.

Speaker 14 The Jeremy, look this up for me because this is pretty funny. Art Schlester, just look it up for me.

Speaker 14 Worst gambling losses and stuff because he's involved with like three bets where he's in the middle of something like that flutie game. Can you tell me when you look back at your Miami life, Chuck,

Speaker 14 the things that

Speaker 14 are imprinting, is there something that's more imprinting than Miami football?

Speaker 15 No, I mean, that's the, I mean, you know, look, you know, as far as for public consumption, yeah, it's Miami football.

Speaker 14 Now that begs a follow-up.

Speaker 15 I know it does.

Speaker 15 What else am I supposed to, yeah, like I'm going to keep answering anything more than that.

Speaker 22 But no,

Speaker 15 my pride in Miami is Miami football, is University of Miami football through and through. And

Speaker 15 I will say something that is real, which is I don't think I would be good at what I do, and maybe some people don't think I'm good at what I do, if it was not for growing up in Miami in the 80s.

Speaker 15 Because I do believe Miami in the 80s, 70s and 80s is America today.

Speaker 15 And in some ways, it always gives me a little bit of hope because we became a cooler and better city over time as we went through all of the cultural stuff and all of this stuff that the rest of the country is going through now.

Speaker 15 And so I just am glad I grew up in Miami when I did because I think it makes me smarter about understanding what's happening in America today.

Speaker 14 Hold on a second here because I want to get to all of your thoughts on what's happening in America today. But Greg Cody and Mike Ryan are still slaving and they're finishing up here.

Speaker 14 So Greg, give us an update here. Tell us what's going on up there with Mike Ryan.

Speaker 31 Well, I think we're both on the home stretch. My soup is done.

Speaker 31 The flavors are just marrying and integrating.

Speaker 31 I can't speak for Mike's soup. He's still adding, you know, willy-nilly.
He's still adding a bunch of stuff. I don't know whether he's dissatisfied.
with the product. I can't speak for him.

Speaker 31 But MySoup is ready to go.

Speaker 14 Mike, how confident are you feeling? Because he's been bold and he thinks he's going to win his first competition around here. Old man, 71 years old, birthday today is 0-3 in these.

Speaker 14 How are you feeling?

Speaker 20 I'm feeling pretty good about the soup. It's getting there.
Should be ready to go by Friday.

Speaker 20 Chuck, NATO plane shot down Russian drones over Poland.

Speaker 19 How close are we to World War III?

Speaker 32 Greg, how close are we to World War III, Greg?

Speaker 31 I would say four and a half years.

Speaker 21 Oh, got it.

Speaker 14 Chuck Todd, over or under.

Speaker 15 I didn't hear that last answer. What was his over-under?

Speaker 14 He said four and a half, four and a half years before World War.

Speaker 15 I'm certainly worried about that with China. So unfortunately,

Speaker 15 if you're going to take,

Speaker 15 I hope it's a never, but it's either under or never.

Speaker 20 So

Speaker 14 it's over. You want it to be over or you want it to be over?

Speaker 15 I want it to be over, but I fear it's under. When you think about China and Taiwan,

Speaker 15 we're really going to go down that road. Yeah.
Right. China's got this whole plan to be ready to take Taiwan by 2027.
That's less than four and a half years.

Speaker 24 Or if we get to the four and a half, then it's never, Dan. You don't get it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I think he wants it to be off the board.

Speaker 28 Like it's an incomplete bet.

Speaker 15 Meaning like you get rid of it.

Speaker 14 Okay, but where we are presently in America, Chuck Todd, this day, today, right now, as we speak, have you ever been more terrified, ever been more terrified about the future of our country?

Speaker 15 In the first two months in Washington, D.C. after 9-11, I was terrified that that was the first time I stashed cash,

Speaker 15 had go bags to like leave. Because

Speaker 15 I promise you this, the first nukes aren't going to hit Miami. The first nukes are hitting where I live.
So that's probably the most personally scared I was those first couple of months after 9-11.

Speaker 15 But if you, the fact is, I mean, not to totally bring a downer to your show here, but this entire economic war that Trump is engaging in with tariffs, the last time we had this, that the largest economy in the world kept trying to push tariffs on everybody and everybody responded selfishly, it led to World War II.

Speaker 15 So

Speaker 15 we are certainly pushing policies right now. that are only antagonistic with other countries, that only

Speaker 15 encourage everybody to be worrying about themselves. And the more nationalistic every country gets, the more likely you're going to go to war.

Speaker 14 Chuck, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to stop you there. We've got an update from the kitchen up there.
Mike Ryan and Greg Cody, what do you have for us, please?

Speaker 14 I heard some sounds being made back there. Was Mike yelling at Greg? Mike, what's happening up there?

Speaker 20 Greg didn't bring pepper.

Speaker 19 Greg didn't bring salt.

Speaker 20 Greg didn't bring anything. Why am I helping this man? Anyways, I think my soup's pretty ready.

Speaker 14 All right, we're going to get to it. Then get down here, bring the soups down here.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 You know what nobody tells you about being a new dad? It's not just the diapers and the wipes, that's obvious.

Speaker 6 It's the hidden stuff, the baby swing after we already purchased the other baby swing, the bouncer, the pack and play, the 20 different bottles, because apparently my kid hates every single one, except the most expensive one, which is the glass, by the way.

Speaker 6 Don't get me started on late food delivery orders with my wife, and me too tired to even look or cook or think about food. I'm staring at my bank account like, where did it all go?

Speaker 6 That's where Monarch Money comes in. It's like a financial tool belt for everyone, not just dads.

Speaker 15 chuck how much worse are these ice raids gonna get i think they're gonna get a lot worse i think this is

Speaker 14 the worse the economy gets the more you're gonna see these ice raids chuck is there sound in your room right now that's not my fault not my company's fault it's you being the unprofessional here that's not coming from me i'm in my studio perfect oh chris cody said it was your fault That's right after he had just like praised himself.

Speaker 5 He was like, I'm like a DJ back here operating the board.

Speaker 24 Chuck, how do you think you'd fare in the apocalypse?

Speaker 15 I'd like to think I know how to survive. Yeah.

Speaker 24 What do you think? Like a couple weeks?

Speaker 15 I'd like to give myself a couple weeks before I'm eaten.

Speaker 5 Over under four and a half weeks.

Speaker 2 If you, like, if you want to, like, okay, if the fate is you're going to be eaten in three weeks, do you want to live those three weeks, like, not getting eaten?

Speaker 24 Just to get eaten three weeks, anyways?

Speaker 15 Well, I'd like to think I'm going to try to fight and

Speaker 15 think that I'm not going to be eaten, that I could fight it. We all think we could survive something like this.
Oh, no. The fact of the matter is, 95% of us.
That would be terrible.

Speaker 14 No, Chuck, this show does not feel that way. I have said before, and I that in prison, for example, I would be a vending machine for sex.

Speaker 11 I'd be holding pockets.

Speaker 14 It would be a bad situation. I don't.

Speaker 15 So you're a survivor, is what you're saying. You'll do whatever it takes to survive.

Speaker 21 My father, my

Speaker 14 father said to me,

Speaker 14 better to live a coward than die a hero.

Speaker 14 And

Speaker 14 he said it very early in his life. An apocalypse would be very bad to me.

Speaker 14 I don't know how you feel about gun ownership, but the fact that we're talking about any of this ridiculousness is something that seems more real now than it has at any point in my lifetime.

Speaker 14 I did not experience 9-11 the way you did. I was in Dave Wondstedt's office.
He had a free agent coming in. He wasn't paying any attention to what was happening that day.

Speaker 14 So I didn't have enough worldliness to even understand what was happening then. I feel that way now, though.

Speaker 14 I feel right now like there are no shortage of people trying to put money away in bank accounts elsewhere because they worry about the future of our country.

Speaker 15 Oh, 100%.

Speaker 15 I mean, I think the fact that you see gold at an all-time high, you see more people doing crypto, that's not because they're great investments.

Speaker 14 So, what worries you most? Like, the things that you're talking about here, like this, these are extremes we've never discussed before.

Speaker 15 Well, you guys started at World War III and then said, like, okay, it's hard to come to. Look, I...

Speaker 15 We're having all this doom and gloom.

Speaker 15 I actually think we'll get through this moment, i think but i do worry that if if we continue down this road where we decide we don't give a damn about anybody else in the world everything is about us first we're only going to create more enemies look what we just did to the south koreans good luck don't be an american and go to seoul this week okay they're um they're so angry at us because of the uh of the raid in georgia um anti-americanism is going up uh up and up so a sustained amount of leadership like we're experiencing now with policies that antagonize our friends, let alone our enemies,

Speaker 15 is not a sustainable way to go.

Speaker 15 But

Speaker 15 while I'm short-term pessimistic about I think the economy is going to crater in six months and things like that,

Speaker 15 I do think we, the American voter, we eventually figure it out. And we eventually do the right thing.
It just takes us a while. We have to experience the pain.

Speaker 15 And I think, unfortunately, we're now starting to experience the pain.

Speaker 14 What is the fairest way to report, Chris? What is that sound? I think if everyone's hearing it, we might as well address it because Chuck Todd is alleging it's not him.

Speaker 14 And I see you saying that's him.

Speaker 30 And you... I'm not saying it's Chuck.
I have every pod down, though, that I have.

Speaker 14 Okay, but accuse him publicly then so that I can get out of the way. I'm sitting here.

Speaker 15 I'm not, I wish I could like do a panorama. I mean, there is.
There is nobody in this room. Okay, this is the best.
I believe you, I believe you, Chuck.

Speaker 24 I'm on Chuck's side, too. All right.

Speaker 14 So I am alone and hearing the voices in my head.

Speaker 1 No, we hear the voices, but his son is

Speaker 15 too. I feel like I'm hearing the kitchen still.

Speaker 14 Ah. Okay, we will figure that out.
Let's go back to the kitchen. We've got Greg and Mike, for some reason, still up there, still staring.
We think we've got ambient sound from up there.

Speaker 14 If any of you have anything for Chuck Todd, get your asses down here so we can keep doing our show a little more professionally than we've done it so far, please.

Speaker 20 Yeah, well, Greg and I were pretty feisty, and then we heard that interview, and we realized that pretty much in about three weeks, everybody's going to be making soup to survive.

Speaker 20 So we're we're going to be done with this because I think we're just generally checked out on society.

Speaker 31 Okay, very good. We really are.

Speaker 11 All right, get down.

Speaker 14 No, we're going to taste it down here. They're going to bring it down here now.
It's not a tough.

Speaker 23 Another habit we have to break is Dan's just ruining every show with World War III talking.

Speaker 19 Jeez.

Speaker 14 What have you been hearing in recent weeks about the health rumors around Trump? What is the fairest way to report any of this? How do you take the politics out of

Speaker 14 Biden's a danger because he's clearly having mental atrophy? And, you know there's a bit of a madman in the White House in ways that a lot of people understand.

Speaker 15 Donald Trump's a 79-year-old man

Speaker 15 who never

Speaker 15 worked out a day in his life, who doesn't eat healthy, and he's got all the problems that somebody that age who didn't at all take care of himself, doesn't eat healthy, has.

Speaker 15 You ever go into a Walmart or a Publix and there's people riding the scooter because they can't walk the aisles?

Speaker 15 They can walk, but they don't like to walk because it hurts, and their ankles are twice the size of their calves.

Speaker 15 That's, you know, I, you know, look, he,

Speaker 15 this is, this is what age does. So I look at it that way, and I assume they're lying to us.
They're not telling us the truth about his health.

Speaker 15 The last time they gave us his height and weight, I think it was the equivalent of the middle linebacker of the Eagles. No, that was 6'3, 240.

Speaker 14 That was amazing. Chuck, hold on just a second.

Speaker 14 Billy, why are you and Jeremy laughing at the great great frustration on chris cody and how he's turned redder than he actually is on the back of his neck because another stray sound got out on the board and he's saying this isn't coming from us and i'm convinced that it is i'm convinced that this is our fault billy i'm convinced it's not this room's fault that's what i'm

Speaker 15 whoa whose fault do you think i just don't want to blame this on chuck that's chuck does this happen to you often in these hits i i was just gonna i'm clearly gonna get blamed for this as soon as this segment is over yeah right because if i were chris i would do that.

Speaker 15 Hey, that dude's lying. He didn't want to admit it.
I mean, look, we all just talk. We're all going to be.
It's all about survival of the fittest here, right?

Speaker 15 And he's got to survive longer with you than I do. So, but, you know,

Speaker 15 it isn't me, but I know that I'm going to get blamed for this.

Speaker 24 Chuck, there were some people questioning your last answer saying they didn't believe that you frequent Walmart when you mentioned Walmart.

Speaker 22 People wondering when the last time you went to a Walmart was.

Speaker 15 I got a place in Pensacola. I go to Pensacola.

Speaker 15 I have a place there. I live part-time there at times on the beach.
And the really only, there's Publix in Walmart when you got to go get stuff.

Speaker 15 So yeah, I go to Walmart more often than, and if you're a political reporter and you're not sort of going, you know, in all honesty, I do believe you've got to sort of frequent where America goes, not where East Coast elites go.

Speaker 15 if you want to just have an idea of how American voters are experiencing things. Not to be too...

Speaker 24 You're a target man, though. We can agree.

Speaker 24 You go to Walmart out of necessity. You're not flying spirit.

Speaker 15 No, I would never, I wouldn't fly spirit to fly you, you know, to rescue you. I wouldn't do that to anybody.

Speaker 5 You check out any Pensacola Blue Wahoos games, Chuck?

Speaker 7 I have.

Speaker 15 I have. That's the Marlins.

Speaker 15 That's the Marlins A.

Speaker 15 Wow, that's the franchise. No, no, no.

Speaker 15 Look, you guys were questioning my

Speaker 28 beautiful ballpark here. Oh, Chuck,

Speaker 14 I'm not comfortable with what's happened here. They are absolutely assuming that you've arrived at a level of fame that you simply can't be an everyman.
They presume that based on what?

Speaker 14 On Chuck Todd's credentials? Like, you did put that on him.

Speaker 7 Who's they?

Speaker 14 Me? You guys in.

Speaker 36 No, we were talking Wahoo's man, Bubba Watson.

Speaker 16 Yeah, I just want to know what he thinks.

Speaker 14 That's the offense that you're taking, right? That they would assume that you would be too good to walk into a Walmart?

Speaker 15 I'm not taking offense. I get it.
I know people stereotype, and stereotypes are around for a reason. And I have plenty of my peers that would never step foot in a Walmart.

Speaker 8 But you drew the line pretty quick on Spirit Airlines.

Speaker 15 Oh, 100%. I'm a total flying snob.

Speaker 15 As much time, anybody that's been a political reporter or a beat reporter in sports or whatever, and you fly more than once a week, I think you've earned the right to be a travel snob and a flight snob and all of those things.

Speaker 15 So, no, I will make no apologies about being a flight snob.

Speaker 14 How How can you explain to the people without seeming political, reactionary, hyperventilating,

Speaker 14 the place that you are with fearing today the collapse of both the economy and the democracy?

Speaker 14 Like when else in your life have you felt however it is that you feel right now in these days, weeks, and months?

Speaker 15 Look, we have. I don't think we've ever felt this way when it comes to the democracy in our lifetimes.
I only comfort myself by

Speaker 15 realizing that we did go through this in the 1920s. We lost our mind after the pandemic in 1918.
We banned alcohol right after the pandemic. Like we were just, you know,

Speaker 15 we, as a society,

Speaker 15 we lost our minds for about a decade. The worst

Speaker 15 graft in the history of government took place in the 1920s. This ridiculous tariff business took place in the 1920s.

Speaker 15 Now, all of it led to World War II, which is why we should take take this, why we should realize that, hey, let's learn

Speaker 15 a lesson from history, please.

Speaker 15 But I guess I look at it and I do still have enough faith that we'll get through this, we'll get past this. And part of it is because he's 79 years old.
He isn't going to live forever.

Speaker 14 Jesus is what you said back there, Chris?

Speaker 14 You said, Jesus, we started at World War III and him telling you that Trump's not going to live forever makes you, that's the one that makes you feel like you're going to be.

Speaker 30 No, I mean, I've said Jesus a few times during this segment.

Speaker 16 Thank you, Trump.

Speaker 15 I tell you, I didn't expect this to go this dark as quickly. Although that's what happens here.
It is, I was just going to say, this is why I both, I love your show, Dave, because you go dark fast.

Speaker 15 You go right to the darkest spot. Did you just call me Dave?

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 15 No, you said Dan. Yeah, it's funny.
You said Dan.

Speaker 24 You know, Chuck went to Killian. You went to Killian, right, Chuck?

Speaker 15 I did.

Speaker 24 So, Dan, you know who else went to Killian? It was Tony.

Speaker 24 And Tony told us that he used to be afraid walking down the hallways that someone would walk up to him and snatch his chain right off of his neck.

Speaker 24 So Chuck, are you more scared of World War III or getting your chain snatched off your neck at Killian High School?

Speaker 15 You know, it's funny that Killian's become this negative symbol. It was just, it was sort of the other palmetto.
when I went there in the in the 80s.

Speaker 15 And now that like, you know, I don't, I have a lot of opinions about what's happened to the Miami-Dade school system. Oh.
But the fact that Killian has become

Speaker 15 the fact that Killian has become apparently the high school, the last high school you want to go to in South Miami-Dade County is

Speaker 15 pretty sad. But I have heard that it is

Speaker 15 not necessarily the place you want to walk the halls these days.

Speaker 14 As the former moderator of Meet the Press,

Speaker 14 probably one of the greatest

Speaker 14 press shows of all time of most distinction.

Speaker 11 Sports reporters.

Speaker 14 What has happened? That should have been in Mike's top 10 yesterday. That was disrespectful that Mike Ryan's top 10 sports shows didn't have the sports reporters.

Speaker 8 How about Inside Stuff not being on his top 10?

Speaker 11 Come on.

Speaker 14 Yeah, there were some flaws in that list. But the state of the American media today, as someone who's been a guardian for it and

Speaker 14 cares about some of the things

Speaker 11 out here.

Speaker 33 Typical Dave. This guy.

Speaker 24 Luckily, the tropics are quieter. You're hearing about Berkeley.

Speaker 14 Get out of here. His podcast, the Chuck Todcast.
You can get it wherever it is. You get your podcast.
Thank you, Chuck. I appreciate it.

Speaker 15 So this was a good idea to do this show, right? Yes.

Speaker 14 Well, I don't know. I don't know what kind of trouble.
You're a serious journalist. You're a serious person.

Speaker 15 No, but I'm also independent. I would have asked that last question.
The problem is the corporate ownership now. Media doesn't have a chance if you're owned by a corporation.

Speaker 15 A big, massive corporation. That's me.
You just don't have a shame.

Speaker 14 Metal Art Media is free, and you see how well that goes during your segment.

Speaker 11 We're free.

Speaker 16 We don't got any responsibilities to anybody, but our audio doesn't work.

Speaker 5 Hey, Chuck, start of next year. You want to be our Blue Wahoos correspondent once a week? Stop in.
Let us know how the AA Farm team's doing for the Marlins.

Speaker 15 Not every week, but

Speaker 15 I'll

Speaker 15 be a reporter once a month. Yeah, I'd pull that off once a month.

Speaker 36 Bahus. Can't wait.

Speaker 14 There you go. Go ahead.
One-minute segment. Go ahead and make it with him, and we'll do Matthew Berry for three minutes, and maybe we'll get good at you being less worried.

Speaker 5 And 30 seconds of Ray Help.

Speaker 14 Do things quickly. Yes, do things well, quickly.
Other speakers doing them well, quickly.

Speaker 22 Thank you.

Speaker 15 I wasn't worried at all what you just said.

Speaker 14 Chuck, thank you. Appreciate the time.

Speaker 14 I don't think that he respects me anymore.

Speaker 29 Let's relive. He loves you, Dave.
I want to relive.

Speaker 30 He is still here. Before you get out of here, let's relive if he did indeed call you Dave or Dave.

Speaker 14 He did.

Speaker 15 He absolutely did. This is why the second time I.

Speaker 33 All right, here we go. Chuck, we weren't talking to you.
Chuck, have you done television before?

Speaker 14 Chuck, have you done television before?

Speaker 15 Hold on a second.

Speaker 30 All right, I'm going to hit the sound right now.

Speaker 15 This is why I both, I love your show, Dave.

Speaker 25 Dave.

Speaker 15 This is why I both, I love your show, Dave.

Speaker 14 This is why people think the media lies, Chuck Todd. You've been caught in a lie.

Speaker 33 You've been caught dead in a lie.

Speaker 15 I love how it was cut off there. That's all I'm going to say.
No. It was cut off.

Speaker 14 You think he's that good? What evidence do you have in this segment that he's good at his job? You give me all the evidence you have that he would be that quick at that. I love it.

Speaker 15 Wow, you're using that as your defense. That's pretty good.
Incompetence is the defense.

Speaker 14 You think he could edit it that quickly to betray you? That is.

Speaker 15 That's why I both, I love your show, Dave.

Speaker 14 Chuck Todd.

Speaker 15 Anyway, I see.

Speaker 21 Liar!

Speaker 15 Fair enough.

Speaker 25 Liar. There it is.

Speaker 15 All my critics, you did it. You exposed me.

Speaker 28 You finally got him.

Speaker 15 You exposed me.

Speaker 14 This woke turd.

Speaker 28 Get out of here.

Speaker 5 Might have been calling you Dane, like former Blue Wahoo, Dane Myers.

Speaker 15 That's exactly what it is. I'm going to take that.

Speaker 14 Goodbye, guys. See you later.
He did call me Dave.

Speaker 27 Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan.
It's also NFL season. Lots of big-time matchups.
You know your boy is an NFL free agent, so he's looking all across that NFL schedule for the very best games.

Speaker 27 And when I do, my very first and only stop is the Game Time app because the Game Time app gives the advantage back to the fans.

Speaker 39 I want to talk about home security for a minute.

Speaker 40 For the longest time, I thought it was just alarms and sirens that once somebody breaks in, you deal with it.

Speaker 29 But when you think about it, that's already too late.

Speaker 40 That's reactive. I had my car broken into on my property a while back.
The only thing I could do was call 911. That's reactive.
I don't like leaving things up to chance.

Speaker 39 That's why I decided to install Simply Safe.

Speaker 25 Why?

Speaker 40 Because they flipped the idea of home security by making it proactive. Their Active Guard Outdoor Protection uses AI-powered cameras to actually identify people lurking around your property.

Speaker 40 And here's the key: Simply Safe's monitoring agents step in before anything goes down.

Speaker 40 They'll talk directly to intruders through the camera, light them up with spotlights, and even call the cops if they need to. That's not reacting.
That's stopping crime before it starts.

Speaker 40 No contracts, no hidden fees. That's why they've been named best home security system by U.S.

Speaker 39 News and World Report five years in a row.

Speaker 40 And they back it up with a 60-day money-back guarantee. SimplySafe is offering Lebatard show listeners 50% off a a new system with professional monitoring.
Plus, your first month is free.

Speaker 40 Visit simplysafe.com slash DLB to claim the offer. That's simplysafe.com slash DLB.
There's no safe like SimplySafe.

Speaker 27 Hey listeners, it's Mike. Hey, Billy Gill.

Speaker 29 Hey.

Speaker 27 Hey, Billy, as a proud member of your inner circle, remember when we were hanging out last weekend?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, fishtail palms.

Speaker 27 The fishtail palms, the great memories we made, kids playing in the pool, and in our hands, a nice ice-cold pan of Miller Life.

Speaker 1 It was so hot out i know but it was so cold in my hand

Speaker 27 we took that for a sip it was crisp it was refreshing oh man there is nothing like cracking open a miller light with your crew and your inner circle bones hell yeah we fist bumped whether it's we we actually really did whether it's that touchdown didn't make a sound but it just thought bam boom whether it's that touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups you and i did plenty of that Miller Light has been the taste that you can depend on for 50 years.

Speaker 27 Brood for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes, and that iconic golden color. And here's a kicker, Billy.

Speaker 29 What? It's just 96 calories. What? 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 27 The original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later. Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 27 Go to millerlight.com/slash dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time.
Celebrate responsibly.

Speaker 27 Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 36 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 33 I'm not going to apologize.

Speaker 36 I wouldn't expect you to apologize.

Speaker 41 You're a giant infant.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 37 You have no control over your emotions.

Speaker 41 You have no control over your emotions. When you're calling someone you know an idiot, I don't deserve it.
Okay. I don't deserve it.
And you're a fool for saying it.

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 36 Stugats.

Speaker 21 You're a fool.

Speaker 37 I was kind of following you.

Speaker 11 Oh, you're locking in right now?

Speaker 33 You're locking in on us. Yeah.

Speaker 37 All right. Let's drop the gloves, pal.
Let's drop.

Speaker 11 You should be thanking me.

Speaker 8 For what? Every day. For what? For what I've done around this character.
And the second shit gets real for you, you want to come at me and call me a fool?

Speaker 21 Huh?

Speaker 33 Jeremy, no, no, no. Seriously.
Jeremy. Seriously, pal.

Speaker 8 I've added 10 years to your career.

Speaker 13 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stew Gods.

Speaker 2 Let's change the imaging of our show to the Dave Lebatard show.

Speaker 14 Let's do that.

Speaker 2 Can we do that, please? Let's do that right now.

Speaker 14 No.

Speaker 2 Where does our imaging air?

Speaker 22 You should know that.

Speaker 14 Right behind you.

Speaker 30 Executive Production.

Speaker 24 I thought you meant audio-wise. Like, where do you hear, like, this is the Dan Lebetard show?

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's imaging. These are images.

Speaker 22 This went well.

Speaker 14 It did not go well. The soup-off.
I don't know where we are on the soup off. Can you explain to me why the audio was so bad on the soup off? Like, it's 14 floors.
Because I wasn't there.

Speaker 14 Is that what happened? Because Jeremy wasn't there? Like, that seems... Sazzlow, what would you say about how we executed all of that audio was?

Speaker 8 I thought the audio was fine with the soup off.

Speaker 8 I do want to get to the bottom of where was, like, where was the other programming that we were hearing?

Speaker 30 It was a Zoom issue. It was not coming from Chuck.
It was coming from Zoom.

Speaker 30 And we figured it out. And it's hard.
You can't turn that off when we have him potted up. Anything that comes out over Zoom is going to come out.

Speaker 14 All right. That's probably enough of that.
That is the peril of live television that Zaslo was explaining to you before.

Speaker 14 Greg, you smell delicious.

Speaker 36 Thank you.

Speaker 14 You smell like you. No, but he smells like lentil and sausage.
He does not smell like coconut. He does not smell like coconut milk, but he just came in here.
You smell it, right, Zaslow?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm into it. It's not a soup.

Speaker 11 It's mine.

Speaker 14 I don't think it's the scent of your soup.

Speaker 27 It's my soup. It is his soup.
My soup is very aromatic.

Speaker 11 It's mine.

Speaker 21 It's my soup. That's funny.

Speaker 30 Have we decided how we're going to do this now?

Speaker 14 Zaslow, what is the smell in here? Would you say it's closer to sausage and lentil than it is to anything coconut milk?

Speaker 8 It smells like lentil.

Speaker 30 It doesn't smell like Thai food.

Speaker 28 Thai food.

Speaker 8 Oh, give me orange chicken. I love Thai food.
It smells like lentil.

Speaker 11 I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Speaker 21 Thank you.

Speaker 42 Yeah, Mike was adding ingredients left and right, right? Imagine that.

Speaker 27 A chef adding ingredients.

Speaker 43 Not a good sign when after you say your soup is done, you're still adding ingredients, including water?

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Who puts water?

Speaker 4 Because I assumed more people would want to have this because it was so good.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 27 Cooking for the masses here. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Are we ready to do this?

Speaker 14 I think the way that I want to do this, Chris Cody, is I will try it and I will vote. Zaslow will try it and Zaslo will vote.
If we have a tie, then the room will decide.

Speaker 14 All four of you will try it and all four of you will decide.

Speaker 33 I want to know only three, not much.

Speaker 30 I wanted this to land on Dan's lap. I was hoping the shipping tanner would go first, Zaz second, and then Dan breaks the tie.
But we can do it your way.

Speaker 14 Let's bring him in here and let's get started. And let's get Jeremy to give us, so that we can get the payoff here before we get off of live.
Give him... Give me a healthy portion, please.
Give me.

Speaker 14 Of which one?

Speaker 31 Both. Mine.

Speaker 39 Whose birthday it is?

Speaker 14 Zazzle,

Speaker 14 you were eating a lot around here.

Speaker 16 Whose birthday is there?

Speaker 11 I don't know. The food, it's there.

Speaker 14 It's a spread.

Speaker 14 Jeremy, the reason I asked you about Art Schlester, by the way, in in the middle of Chuck Todd telling us his Doug Flutie game story is because I saw the story the other day that Arch Schleister was just recently arrested with two crack pipes on him and is like going to jail.

Speaker 14 And it's one of the saddest stories you will hear in the story of addiction and sports. But Art Schleister, 65 years old now in failing health, is in the middle of

Speaker 14 three of the biggest sports upsets of all time. Art Schleister is in the middle of these.
Is he not, Jeremy? Is that the story that you ended up finding?

Speaker 14 It's like one of the all-time bad beat, unluckiest, the Cosmos hate-you stories of all time.

Speaker 5 I'll go back and find those results.

Speaker 5 All I know is that he had gotten to a point when he was betting $50,000 a pop on three-team college basketball parlays after borrowing $300,000 from banks just on Good Damon's signature.

Speaker 5 And in April of 1983, the FBI arrested four bookies that allegedly threatened to break his passing arm and harm his family because he didn't pay them $159,000 that he owed them.

Speaker 28 What's wrong, Dan? What's wrong, Greg?

Speaker 43 He's still putting ingredients in his soup.

Speaker 30 It looked like Mike, who's preparing now the bowls, it looked like he just poured a little crushed repeller.

Speaker 36 How come I'm not out there preparing my bowls?

Speaker 30 When you're going to ask me, first, Mike is going to serve his, and then you'll serve yours.

Speaker 42 Because I want to, you know, you got to get just the right amount of protein, lentils, and salt.

Speaker 30 That's why Mike was like, yo, I'm not letting them serve it. I need to serve these.

Speaker 30 So So Mike should be bringing it in now. Dan will be our first tester.

Speaker 16 You guys are sharing.

Speaker 43 Tainting the jury here.

Speaker 8 What's up, Owen Cody?

Speaker 21 Owen 4.

Speaker 27 That's what you're going to be. On.

Speaker 16 Hey, Owen.

Speaker 14 That's very confident. I really didn't know that Mike was someone who could cook.
I don't know.

Speaker 27 Oh, we still don't.

Speaker 42 We still don't know that. Try a bite.

Speaker 14 He's awfully confident.

Speaker 16 Yeah, let's keep the mic a little closer.

Speaker 29 There we go.

Speaker 28 Oh, there we go.

Speaker 7 Jumped right in.

Speaker 30 Let's see. Hold on.
Get the mic in front of you so we can really look at it.

Speaker 24 That wasn't a good look that

Speaker 24 did that thing that went downward where now it's like, how do I spare the feelings?

Speaker 14 No, it's very, no, it's good. It's good.

Speaker 11 I'm convinced.

Speaker 14 What do you think of that reaction? I would say I would like.

Speaker 20 It's a very... There's a lot going on.

Speaker 14 He needs a few more bites.

Speaker 14 Okay.

Speaker 24 Biting soup is always a bad start.

Speaker 14 Is this the one with ash in it?

Speaker 11 That would be the one

Speaker 30 that has ash in it. So now does he pass that bowl over to Zaz?

Speaker 24 Are we going to get another bowl?

Speaker 32 Yeah, they're sharing a spoon, too, I think.

Speaker 16 Now you spit it in Zaz's mouth.

Speaker 33 No,

Speaker 14 I love the chicken in it.

Speaker 30 Are you on sharing spoons and stuff? Like, Zaz, is this something on the street?

Speaker 29 I'm out on the sharing spoon.

Speaker 11 Yeah, you're out on it.

Speaker 1 Do you have a mother bird situation?

Speaker 4 Would you go different spoons, same bowl?

Speaker 18 I like the texture.

Speaker 11 Or you prefer a full... I'd prefer my own bowl, but

Speaker 11 I could do the same bowl. We're not sharing the spoon.

Speaker 7 I'll get you a spoon, pal. All right.
It's got a good kick.

Speaker 2 Get two spoons.

Speaker 30 I want my dad to try it too. I want him to be able to taste his competition.
What?

Speaker 14 No,

Speaker 14 I think that both of these guys are going to like this soup because it's good. But I know your dad's a great cook, and I know his sausage and lentil is is also good.

Speaker 33 I'm hearing a lot of good, not great.

Speaker 14 Well, I will tell you that I will know your father's critique with this. I know what he's going to say is his critique, but I'm going to eat it all before you guys get spoons.

Speaker 14 Like, I would think that somebody would go get a spoon for our participants.

Speaker 7 We could probably have enough bowls for everybody.

Speaker 16 I don't know why we're doing it this way.

Speaker 14 Well, well, that's a good second guess, but this is what happens with live television. Like, three spoons wouldn't have been hard in a company of 30 people to get three spoons.

Speaker 14 Like, I think, you know?

Speaker 11 What's worth it doing? There's 50 people out there.

Speaker 14 I don't, yeah, I'm paying all of them, but none of them are are getting spoons.

Speaker 33 Oh, nice. I got my own bowl here.

Speaker 30 Ah, this is good right here.

Speaker 21 You guys get paid?

Speaker 8 Did you take out the carrots? I don't need carrots.

Speaker 14 I'm glad I don't need to share it. I'm glad I can have it.
What do you mean you don't need to? Dad, whip around.

Speaker 36 I don't need carrots.

Speaker 30 Dad, whip around and share with Dan. All right.
Now, this is good. All right, here.
He's going to pass it over to you, maybe.

Speaker 14 No, I'll wait for him to eat over my shoulder.

Speaker 21 There we go. Perfect.

Speaker 30 All right, Zaz. First, now here.
Come over here. Now, Zaz first.
Here we go.

Speaker 2 I got to avoid the carrots. Do I take my headphones off?

Speaker 24 I think you need the carrots so you get the full experience.

Speaker 8 The carrot will not touch my lips.

Speaker 30 How do we feel about how Zaz is holding the spoon here? That's solid actually. You know what?

Speaker 8 No, it's really effing good.

Speaker 11 See that? I'm not gonna lie. Do you like Thai food?

Speaker 8 That's really good.

Speaker 21 Thai food.

Speaker 30 All right, Greg now going in for a sip here.

Speaker 23 What are you doing? All right.

Speaker 30 Blowing on it a little bit.

Speaker 14 Is it a sip of soup?

Speaker 14 Pete's gonna want it to be creamier.

Speaker 11 That's really a slurp of soup.

Speaker 14 He's gonna want it to be thicker.

Speaker 36 He just gave a shrugging.

Speaker 14 Not great audio, him shrugging his shoulders, not saying a word. Not great for broadcasting.

Speaker 43 Okay, it's slightly thin.

Speaker 43 My biggest negative critique would be that I'm getting very little coconut flavor, which should be a major star of this.

Speaker 29 Don't you want it to be subtle, I feel like?

Speaker 14 It's got spice on it. Like, it's got a good taste that stays with you after that.
I'm looking forward. We got three minutes left to get to Greg.

Speaker 8 I don't know what you got going on, Greg, but this is really good.

Speaker 19 Did you have some of the far row?

Speaker 11 Mm-hmm. You had some of the far row? Yeah.

Speaker 21 Do you like the far row? It's okay. It's a good far road, huh?

Speaker 41 It's not my favorite. It's a good far row.

Speaker 11 It's well cooked.

Speaker 36 Yeah. But it faro is not my favorite.

Speaker 16 All right, Greg.

Speaker 36 Go get your soup.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 3 He's going to want to do the cream because he's got a cream allergy.

Speaker 11 Oh, we have to.

Speaker 36 That's right. I forgot about us.

Speaker 20 I'm respectful.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 30 Now the shipping container will taste Mike's soup.

Speaker 14 You guys are going to like that.

Speaker 32 I don't really want to share soup with you guys, if you're going to be honest.

Speaker 3 Did you guys get the red pepper flakes?

Speaker 30 I do have some red pepper flakes in here. Yeah, yeah.
All right, Billy does not want to share a bowl with me, so they're bringing another bowl for Billy.

Speaker 21 But I'll go first.

Speaker 23 Ooh, chicken looks good. All right, here we go.

Speaker 10 I don't need a lot of soup.

Speaker 8 Yo, this is really good.

Speaker 30 That's damn good soup. Yeah.
That's damn good.

Speaker 8 Man, you should do this every day.

Speaker 11 I mean,

Speaker 2 are we not going to get PDQ now or something, though?

Speaker 19 Because, like, it's still... Yeah.

Speaker 14 It's got the kick that you want. Like, it's got some spice after that.

Speaker 21 You like it?

Speaker 21 I like it.

Speaker 26 Good amount of chicken.

Speaker 25 You? All right.

Speaker 36 I don't have soup yet.

Speaker 30 It's coming in. We'll get there.

Speaker 11 Give me Billy's.

Speaker 14 Jeremy's not having any?

Speaker 15 I'd like to, but I don't have any soup.

Speaker 30 I'll share your soup.

Speaker 11 All right, yeah, here we go.

Speaker 14 This was well planned, I think, in terms of being able to get everybody what it is that they needed when they needed it so we could do live television.

Speaker 16 We're having a good time.

Speaker 30 All right, here we go, Jeremy. Now, Jeremy's going.
It's hot. That's the biggest, my biggest beef with it.

Speaker 36 It's just really hot, so it's hard to get it.

Speaker 14 Why would it be a beef?

Speaker 30 Just because we're trying to taste it, but

Speaker 28 we're scolding it.

Speaker 28 That's good soup.

Speaker 1 It smells good.

Speaker 32 I'll tell you, it smells good. That's really good soup.

Speaker 14 Everybody would like this soup.

Speaker 21 Great.

Speaker 36 All right. Now, that's great soup.

Speaker 29 Yeah, that's what I would say, too.

Speaker 16 Now, Greg is going to bring in...

Speaker 14 Greg's in big trouble. He is.
But I think Mike made a better choice with his soup is the thing. Like this is, when this is done well, this is a more delicious soup than almost all the other soups.

Speaker 30 And Mike's right, it does taste like Thai food.

Speaker 14 Mike, that's cultural appropriation by Mike. That's spectacular soup.
It feels like authentically Thai food.

Speaker 19 Whatever. I love cultural appropriation.

Speaker 24 All right, Greg's walking now for those who are.

Speaker 37 I love cultural appropriation.

Speaker 21 Super soup.

Speaker 14 It's tasty cultural appropriation. Put it on the poll at Lebatard's show.
Does cultural appropriation taste good?

Speaker 24 Well, where's the line between appropriation and honoring?

Speaker 14 Oh, you know what I'm going to do here? This might foul up the experience that I have this taste in my mouth, the same spoon going to.

Speaker 3 Oh, you need to cleanse your palette.

Speaker 33 Yeah, someone get us water?

Speaker 24 Yeah, I need a water spoon.

Speaker 14 Greg, thank you for cooking for us on your birthday.

Speaker 21 You're welcome.

Speaker 8 I will tell you, Greg's soup looks good.

Speaker 14 It does look good, but Greg, I will tell you that I'm worried about you. I don't think you're going to.
Greg's in trouble.

Speaker 14 I don't think you're going to win and I love your lentil soup and your sausage you I just think he chose a better I think he chose a better soup Greg do you think it's a disadvantage that I tried his first

Speaker 43 no I do think it's a disadvantage when one of the judges says I'm not going to win before taking a bite and gave your competitor more time if you remember correctly no you know got carrots in yours too

Speaker 42 not doing that carrots you don't like carrots I don't eat carrots it'll help you see better you never heard bugs bunny yeah all right did you try Greg Mike I wish I could have several bowls of bad soup.

Speaker 14 I am afraid that Mike's going to win by blowout.

Speaker 2 You can't say that before you've tried the other one.

Speaker 16 I just did try it. I just did try it.

Speaker 11 Bad sign, Greg. I already said that.

Speaker 8 Bad sign.

Speaker 7 It's not a bad soup.

Speaker 11 No, it's not a bad soup.

Speaker 29 It's a bad soup, Dan.

Speaker 28 It's a boop. Billy, what do you think of that soup?

Speaker 30 All right, Billy now is getting Mike's soup. So let's get Billy's judgment on Mike's soup.

Speaker 23 Not the face you want.

Speaker 19 Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 Big good.

Speaker 16 It's good soup.

Speaker 11 That's how I create. Greg, this is a good soup.
That's how it is.

Speaker 11 Thank you.

Speaker 29 Is this Greg's coming in now?

Speaker 14 People need to understand Greg's is very good. Like, it's got the consistency you want.
It's got, I will tell you,

Speaker 14 his protein content and quality and amount is better than the other soup.

Speaker 14 It's a heartier soup. You'd agree with that.

Speaker 30 I'm tasting my dad's right now for the first time. Here we go.

Speaker 14 It's a heartier soup.

Speaker 32 Greg's is a better meal, I would say.

Speaker 5 Depends on what we're judging.

Speaker 21 We're going flavor?

Speaker 7 Man, this is good too.

Speaker 2 Tell you what, neither of these is PDQ, so I hope that's still coming.

Speaker 19 Did you get that, Faro? Oh, are they?

Speaker 37 All right, now we vote.

Speaker 14 Greg's in a bad spot. I think all of us just like coconut milk soup better than

Speaker 16 Greg's is good.

Speaker 42 I've been no coconut in it.

Speaker 37 My God. My dad's is hearty.

Speaker 16 This is a good hearty soup.

Speaker 14 All right, guys. Hold on.
Let's do this now. There are five of us here.

Speaker 8 Why doesn't anyone cook like this in my house?

Speaker 11 Let's go around.

Speaker 7 You're both better at this than you are at radio. Yeah.
I think you're great at radio.

Speaker 14 They're both good at this, and one of them is good at radio. So

Speaker 14 the soup that we have in front of us right now, Jeremy, if you had to vote, you would vote for. You got to vote.
Don't worry about anybody's feelings. Don't worry about any birthdays.

Speaker 33 Mike. I'm sorry, Greg.

Speaker 14 Chris Cody, you are biased, but you would vote which way as a fellow fat person.

Speaker 3 I've grown up eating it.

Speaker 30 I love Mike, but I'm going to go with my dad's soup.

Speaker 11 I'm going with it.

Speaker 28 Look at that.

Speaker 41 Going with the hearty.

Speaker 4 It's good. It's got a nice spice to it.

Speaker 11 I like them both, though. They are both good.

Speaker 14 Billy Gill, which way do you vote?

Speaker 32 You guys are still going to vote? This isn't the deciding vote.

Speaker 14 Would you like to be the deciding vote?

Speaker 18 No, no, I wouldn't.

Speaker 14 It's a wild Billy Wednesday if you want to be the deciding vote.

Speaker 24 I think they're both good but different.

Speaker 32 Does that make sense?

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 32 I'm going to stick with that.

Speaker 24 They're both really good, but different.

Speaker 14 Okay. That seems like he's recusing himself.

Speaker 29 Let's vote.

Speaker 37 Ty vote.

Speaker 14 It seems like he's recusing himself. No, let's get a vote.

Speaker 18 Let's tie food. Let's tin him down.

Speaker 32 The thing is, both of these, if I'm going to be honest, and I don't mean to be be crass both are bad

Speaker 32 both of these are gonna give me the shits you know so

Speaker 32 it's kind of which one i feel like mike's is gonna sting a little more on the way out than the way in so i'm gonna give it to greg yeah greg vote for greg

Speaker 7 All right, Dan, you go first. Okay.

Speaker 14 Mike's is better.

Speaker 11 Oh, Zaz.

Speaker 8 So what did the shipping container vote?

Speaker 16 We're splitting it. Don't worry about that.

Speaker 16 We're splitting it.

Speaker 43 Right now, it's Jeremy and Dan voting for Mike.

Speaker 30 Billy and I voting for Greg. It all comes down.

Speaker 24 Greg did say he was happy to see you today because you messed up.

Speaker 7 To Zazzlo.

Speaker 11 Okay, I took one more sip of Greg's. Do you take a sip of Zip's?

Speaker 8 I mean, of Mike's. Now I'm going to take another of Greg's.

Speaker 2 Gotta get that carrot off the spoon.

Speaker 21 Man, that's really good.

Speaker 21 Happy birthday.

Speaker 25 Thank you.

Speaker 21 Not cool. Not fair.

Speaker 25 Not fair.

Speaker 8 You shut up, Dan. Shut up.

Speaker 43 Seriously, the guy who didn't vote for me is singing happy birthday.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Man, Mike, your soup's really good.

Speaker 11 All right?

Speaker 8 And that's why you're the winner. Yeah!

Speaker 8 Oh, no. Oh!

Speaker 8 It's hard!

Speaker 16 It's really good.

Speaker 8 It's so flavorful.

Speaker 32 He didn't try the carrots, though, so he didn't get a real feel for this.

Speaker 8 I'll never have a carrot.

Speaker 32 His vote shouldn't count.

Speaker 21 Owen.

Speaker 30 Dad, your thoughts?

Speaker 14 Man, that was good.

Speaker 42 I have no comment.

Speaker 15 Good soup.
