Local Hour: Thank You, Billy Gil

Speaker 1 Alright, Smirnoff.

Speaker 2 Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka.

Speaker 4 Here's the deal: game day is everything.

Speaker 3 The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

Speaker 3 Smirnoff belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff.

Speaker 7 Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 9 They've been doing this since 1864, which is.

Speaker 3 I don't even want to do the math. A long time.
They're award-winning. They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.

Speaker 5 So yeah, we do game days.

Speaker 3 That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should too.
Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to Smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day.

Speaker 19 Dan's definitely gonna cry, right?

Speaker 20 That's a guarantee.

Speaker 19 Has to be like, obviously, minus 750, probably.

Speaker 3 Has it even started yet?

Speaker 20 He's got his head down right now.

Speaker 21 I can't even tell. He might be crying right now.

Speaker 16 I've got to finish this real quick. Like, Cody betrayed us again, and I'm not ready to do this right now.

Speaker 22 Scooping it.

Speaker 16 I uh

Speaker 16 I need to concentrate on what I'm doing right now. Can you guys just handle this for a second?

Speaker 16 Definitely gonna cry.

Speaker 19 I think minus 750 is being generous.

Speaker 23 I'm not gonna cry.

Speaker 14 I don't cry.

Speaker 20 Oh, like the cry price is

Speaker 20 off the board.

Speaker 27 It's about how early he cries.

Speaker 7 It's like crying in the first 30.

Speaker 28 What's happened?

Speaker 29 Why are we so late?

Speaker 24 Refresh Greg Cody's feed.

Speaker 16 Hold on.

Speaker 16 Tell us what.

Speaker 16 Read Greg Cody's feed and let me get back to work here, please. I haven't finished this yet.

Speaker 14 It says, What?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 29 I got to open the.

Speaker 28 What's happening now?

Speaker 28 Here's a a tweet. It's official.

Speaker 20 Beloved member of At Lebatard show is leaving. Who?

Speaker 25 I assume it's Stugats.

Speaker 30 This is the Don Lebatard show with the Stugats Podcast.

Speaker 16 I'm very often surprised by the sheer depth of feeling that I feel here in this bakery where we've made things for the last 21 years.

Speaker 16 I'm grateful for that. I'll always be grateful for that.
But rarely as much as I am today when I somehow have at once both a sickness in my stomach and a warmth in my heart.

Speaker 16 I'm going to try to get through this without getting emotional and I ask your forgiveness in advance for when I surely fail, but I need to provide some context on the news I'm about to share before we get started today because I think many of you who care too deeply about this show and us are going to absorb it the same disorienting way I did.

Speaker 16 And it's all going to take a little time to process for all of us to get on with the show, a show that isn't ever going to be quite the same after today.

Speaker 16 So,

Speaker 16 after a decade and a half of glorious anarchy, Billy Gill's final day with us is tomorrow.

Speaker 27 Yeah,

Speaker 16 I know. It shocked me too.
He's leaving us for a bigger job at Spotify and I'm both sad and happy to announce that. Sad because someone I care about deeply is going.

Speaker 16 Happy because someone I care about deeply is also growing. You have two choices when a surprise like this lands on you.

Speaker 16 You can be selfish and feel left behind, or you can open your heart and rejoice in getting to see all that is up ahead.

Speaker 16 Billy both grew up with us and never grew up with us, but he has children of his own now, and he's career-driven, so he seeks more adult creative challenges than just babysitting Stugats and me all the way to the end.

Speaker 16 It turns out we all got to watch him outgrow his childhood bedroom. Grew so much that he hit his head on Metal Ark's ceiling on the way out the door.
We've worked together for a long time here.

Speaker 16 Too long, some might say. And no matter how fun it looks to the outside, we work in a cauldron.

Speaker 16 Sometimes it cooks, sometimes it burns, but after many, many years, too many, some might say, we all know that this cauldron is where everyone eats every workday.

Speaker 16 And so some of us have been doing that eating together for decades now, plural. And there are parts of this that will always feel like home to people who care as deeply as Billy does.

Speaker 16 He knows he will always be welcome here. We don't even have to do that thing about the key under the mat.
He knows where all the hiding places are. He knows where all the keys are.

Speaker 16 No one really knows how much Billy does around here. Not even me, especially not me.
This thing is an unholy beast to produce every day.

Speaker 16 The sloppiness of feature, not a bug, the hosts more bulls than butterflies.

Speaker 16 Billy's gentle grace behind the scenes and creative coloring in the scenes are not things that can be replicated, ever, never mind, replaced. All of this will be harder without him, obviously.

Speaker 16 Our soul won't be the same. I'm not even going to try to pretend it will be.

Speaker 16 He might be the most popular character we've ever had, but on his way out, I would like you to know just some of the things that he was, things beyond how much better he made Stugats and me and the show every day.

Speaker 16 I once was celebrating some big success our show had that he obviously and always had a part in, and I told Billy to just rent a limo, have an all expenses paid party night out, and just send me the bill.

Speaker 16 This was for months of work. He sent me a receipt for $84, as I recall.
It might have actually been less than that.

Speaker 16 He had a chance to lead the country's biggest radio show, the morning show at ESPN, almost as soon as we got there, but he turned it down to stay with us.

Speaker 16 He stopped doing his beloved Peepo character, which gets universal applause and he never told me why, though I'm assuming it was because it reflected stereotypically poorly upon our people.

Speaker 16 I'm pretty sure that he leaves our doors without an enemy, even though I think Tony would be totally justified in making him one.

Speaker 16 And many, many years ago, when Mike Ryan was still a baby, I asked Mike to tell me every single thing he needed as an executive producer to replace Hawk, a friend who had known me since college.

Speaker 16 Mike pointed to Billy and just Billy and said, just him. All I need is him.

Speaker 16 And damn it if they didn't do as good a job in knowing me and tolerating me and helping me and understanding me over the years as someone I'd known as a best best friend for two decades before I met them.

Speaker 16 My studio at ESPN was meant to look like a Cuban kitchen from the 1950s.

Speaker 16 Me and Poppy never get that far, never get to the middle of sports on television in my father's second language representing Miami, if Billy wasn't always working on making us better from another room inside that house.

Speaker 16 I do not know how to say goodbye here. I do not.
I don't know how to end this because I'm in no big hurry to see it end.

Speaker 16 But it must have been super confusing to Billy as I saw him cry for the first time ever while telling me of a decision that clearly pained him to see the smile spreading so widely across my face.

Speaker 16 I have not given him that smile.

Speaker 16 Much over the years because of wherever my repressions have been.

Speaker 16 So maybe he leaves me, us, and this.

Speaker 16 But that gratitude,

Speaker 16 that,

Speaker 16 that does not leave with him,

Speaker 16 that stays here, and it stays here forever.

Speaker 16 You could have helped me make it funny, Billy. You could have helped me make it funny.

Speaker 16 I sent it to him the night before. 6 p.m.
gets back to me 7:15. Feels like a skit.

Speaker 33 Bro, echate faulos el limpiate casa roy.

Speaker 18 La limpiate la casa.

Speaker 33 You're making changes that are necessary. Difficult, but necessary.

Speaker 35 But again, it's my responsibility to do what's best for us going forward.

Speaker 16 Let's hear the first brunch of this.

Speaker 36 Oh,

Speaker 37 welcome to the 2024 2024 NFL Draft.

Speaker 28 I'm Billy Gill. Welcome, Billy.

Speaker 5 Why can't we just be satisfied saying that they're all in the top 500?

Speaker 34 I don't think that we, and I can't speak for anyone else, but like, I don't think that we really ever faced here in Miami as Cubans, because of the strong Cuban community, what it is that immigrants are facing nowadays.

Speaker 2 We're here with Tim at his Halloween house.

Speaker 41 Tim, the decorations are incredible. What are your tips for people who are not as talented as decorating as you are?

Speaker 42 You got to make sure you go out there right after Halloween, the year before. So you're 364 days ahead of time.
Three.

Speaker 43 All right, but three.

Speaker 14 Yeah,

Speaker 14 it's brutal.

Speaker 44 I'm glad that you're crying.

Speaker 43 I'm a blubbering idiot, Rob.

Speaker 46 I mean this to be funny.

Speaker 14 Like, look, there's an old, there's an old-timey baseball player, Rob.

Speaker 47 I know.

Speaker 20 I said, Josh Allen has a stupid face.

Speaker 28 You just push

Speaker 27 it in. There we go.

Speaker 28 How's that?

Speaker 17 Why? Why, Billy?

Speaker 2 Last week, as we mentioned, Senator Peter Welch, we caught up with him and we had him pick USC at Michigan, and he accurately predicted the winner.

Speaker 16 Are you going to vomit on? Is there any chance that you vomit on your keyboard?

Speaker 24 It's possible.

Speaker 8 No, I get that, but I guess not in so many words. but you don't get it.

Speaker 29 And I'm even happy that you're back.

Speaker 42 Hey, that's great to hear.

Speaker 16 This is this has been the high point of my tenure so far.

Speaker 2 This is an edition of Bet the House of Representatives.

Speaker 37 Just a moment.

Speaker 2 And I can tell you, this week we did not speak to a senator.

Speaker 17 Here it is.

Speaker 36 It's time to be

Speaker 36 The House of Representatives

Speaker 36 with

Speaker 36 the house

Speaker 36 Bibbin the house

Speaker 36 House House

Speaker 36 Biblios.

Speaker 47 Representatives

Speaker 47 Biden

Speaker 47 Spin it out.

Speaker 47 Ripidity.

Speaker 47 Bit of the house.

Speaker 47 Rip with

Speaker 47 the house.

Speaker 26 Can we call it a day with this?

Speaker 48 No, we're going to eat an entire raw onion.

Speaker 16 Put it on the pole gear.

Speaker 40 If you were tanking, would you tell me?

Speaker 17 Tanking.

Speaker 49 What is no, tanking?

Speaker 10 Tanking is not trying your hardest to win ball games in every day.

Speaker 31 We're trying to win ball games every day.

Speaker 30 If you trade your best players in exchange for prospects, it's unlikely you're going to win more games in the immediate future.

Speaker 31 When you take the field, you have an opportunity to win each and every day. I repeat, each and every day.

Speaker 43 You never tell your team that you're not expected to win. Never.

Speaker 30 Not in so

Speaker 49 what? Now you think. Now, now, now.
I can't tell you how to think. Like, I see your mind.
I see how you think. I don't like that.
That's your mind working like that.

Speaker 51 Don Levatar Show on ESPM radio, world star Nancy Pelosi, what's up?

Speaker 33 I knew there was one person for this job, someone's gonna be here through thick and thin. And there's a bunch of haters like Pablito saying you're a traitor for leaving a table.
And you know what?

Speaker 33 Ignore him. I say, you know what? That Tebo, he's an empresario.

Speaker 29 Coelo Suave, bro.

Speaker 33 That guy wants Biete.

Speaker 49 This guy.

Speaker 16 Welcome back, Billy. And I don't know where this particular tension is going to end up.

Speaker 16 Okay, you're very close.

Speaker 16 Yeah, you got your arms around each other, and Guillermo is moving his face away because I think he fears you're scalding hot coffee bread. What he is saying there.

Speaker 16 It is so wrong what the president of our country is doing.

Speaker 14 Here we go.

Speaker 36 Welcome, Darren Gee.

Speaker 52 And I'm not going to get into the coaching moves so Guillermo.

Speaker 16 Tonight, you are again rounding the community in a spirited form of exercise.

Speaker 28 Well, the Labatar Show Showdown starts now

Speaker 16 with Billy Gill, better known as Guillermo.

Speaker 23 What are you thinking about? Well, if there's one thing we know about Guillermo, he shouldn't think.

Speaker 38 He should just do. And look at me.
Watching on. You can see him watching on.

Speaker 47 I mean, we're dealing

Speaker 18 for dear life.

Speaker 36 What? No.

Speaker 20 This is a Cuba baseball jersey.

Speaker 34 This is double.

Speaker 39 Dad, if you're listening, don't take defense or offense about me calling my car an idiot

Speaker 18 you never just go to commercial then

Speaker 10 i could always not have alka seltzer and then chris would have a tummy ache and he'd be irritable and this wouldn't be a fun day for everyone so you know what i said hey my stomach hurt a while back let me just leave the alka seltzer work in case someone else has a stomach ache I feel like a thank you is in order, and that's not what I'm getting right here.

Speaker 16 Very nice of you.

Speaker 2 We're here for the baseball bites showcase, where I'm gonna try new food at

Speaker 39 Marlento Park.

Speaker 16 You are a warrior hero.

Speaker 16 Your courage is seismic.

Speaker 26 This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Speaker 23 October 10th was World Mental Health Day. BetterHelp used that day to put a spotlight on the real heroes, the therapists.

Speaker 5 The ones who show up, listen, and help you figure your life out.

Speaker 23 Because every session isn't just talk.

Speaker 37 It's a moment that matters.

Speaker 23 Like learning to be patient with your kids, fixing a relationship, or finally shutting off your brain at 2 a.m. Now I love my friends, don't get me wrong, but they're not therapists.

Speaker 23 My group chat, total chaos. Sometimes you need someone who knows what they're doing.

Speaker 28 That's where BetterHelp comes in.

Speaker 23 Over the last 12 years, they've helped more than 5 million people connect with over 30,000 licensed therapists around the world.

Speaker 23 It's the biggest online therapy platform out there with a 4.9 rating from over 1.7 million reviews.

Speaker 28 Here's the thing, life's hard on and off the field.

Speaker 23 Talking to someone trained to help can make all the difference. World Mental Health Day has passed, but we're still celebrating the therapists who've helped millions of people take a step forward.

Speaker 23 If you're ready to find the right therapist for you, BetterHelp can help you start that journey. All listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com slash D-L-B.

Speaker 53 Hey, it's Tony from the Dan Levitard Show, and I got to tell you something that makes me feel a lot safer with my wife and kid at home.

Speaker 5 It's Simply Safe.

Speaker 53 Most security systems only react after a break-in, and that's too late if you want to be honest. Real security stops crime before it even starts.
I just watched a video that was absolutely terrifying.

Speaker 53 An arson is trying to light a family home on fire. And you know what? SimplySafe stopped it before anybody got hurt.

Speaker 53 Their AI-powered camera spotted the threat, alerted the monitoring agent, and the intruder got confronted while still outside the house.

Speaker 53 That's what I call real security, pre-security, not post-security. I trust SimplySafe with my home, my family, and everything I care about.
No hidden fees, no long-term contracts.

Speaker 53 And they've been named one of the best home security systems by U.S. News for five years running.
Right now, Levitard Show listeners can get 50% off a SimplySafe system at simplysafe.com/slash DLB.

Speaker 53 That's simply safe.com/slash DLB. Try it risk-free with their 60-day money-back guarantee and see why I trust them so much.
There's no safe like Simply Safe.

Speaker 54 Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Light, but I want to talk to you about Miller Light with my good friend Rose.

Speaker 55 Hey, Rose.

Speaker 12 Hi, everybody.

Speaker 52 When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends.

Speaker 24 I consider us friends.

Speaker 52 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 20 We're often toasting the good times.

Speaker 26 And what am I toasting with?

Speaker 25 With Miller Light.

Speaker 5 That's right, Miller Light.

Speaker 6 Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Light in your hand.

Speaker 57 From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment.

Speaker 56 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room.

Speaker 25 And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant.

Speaker 52 That beautiful white can.

Speaker 38 How beautiful is that?

Speaker 52 Is that you doing the sound of a can opening?

Speaker 58 Is that your favorite sound?

Speaker 55 Uh, no, it is a horsey.

Speaker 28 A horsey?

Speaker 5 All right, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker.

Speaker 26 Miller Light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975.

Speaker 38 That's right.

Speaker 52 And still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 26 You're so good at this, Rose.

Speaker 25 I know.

Speaker 10 So, whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time.

Speaker 25 Look at us. We're a great tag team.
I'm five again.

Speaker 52 Can you do that beer sound one more time?

Speaker 38 And the horse sound one more time?

Speaker 26 I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good.

Speaker 5 Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 52 Go to millerlight.com slash shan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

Speaker 1 It's Miller.

Speaker 12 Time. Celebrate responsive.

Speaker 38 Blee.

Speaker 52 Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Speaker 12 Tin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce.

Speaker 28 I'm sess.

Speaker 59 No, it says.

Speaker 28 Oh, sess.

Speaker 17 Don Lebatard. Go ahead, Billy.

Speaker 16 Ask him your question. Is

Speaker 11 gymnastics

Speaker 37 possibly corrupt?

Speaker 28 Oh, wow. Wow.

Speaker 17 Stugats.

Speaker 37 I got some phlegm in my mouth, yeah.

Speaker 28 It's okay. Thank you.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 Is gymnastics possibly corrupt?

Speaker 51 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 16 I'm going to miss people,

Speaker 14 but I already miss people.

Speaker 4 There's people going.

Speaker 20 My favorite comment during all that was, Billy was people.

Speaker 16 I didn't see you guys getting emotional during that. I saw you guys just looking straight ahead and wearing a mask of

Speaker 16 sheer strength and masculinity.

Speaker 20 I want to track back a few minutes ago. Do you think you're emotionally repressed?

Speaker 21 Is that what you were trying to convey?

Speaker 39 That you are emotionally repressed.

Speaker 29 Do you believe this?

Speaker 16 You guys have helped open me up a bit. That's not something, none of that stuff, crying on television is sure as shit not something I did on my first 15 years of television.

Speaker 16 I was just talking to Zaz about this a second ago, how lonely it is to do shows by yourself, because Zaz does Zazzlow's show 2.0 by himself, does it very well, but it's lonely.

Speaker 16 You guys have helped me a great deal there. You don't know how much you've helped me.
People don't know how much Billy has helped us over the years, even as they love Billy.

Speaker 16 But you're not comfortable with any of this, right?

Speaker 1 Me?

Speaker 28 I mean,

Speaker 28 you know,

Speaker 1 that's what it is.

Speaker 2 Kind of now trying to edit something real quick that we have going on later.

Speaker 60 You're too busy for all this right now?

Speaker 2 I mean, it's just we started late and now we're

Speaker 39 trying to use the breaks to finish editing something that we got cooking up. And now we're going to have no break times.

Speaker 16 Do you want to explain why we finished late? Do you want to, Chris Cody, do you want to explain your father being late again?

Speaker 16 The reason we started late is because Greg Cody was supposed to scoop everybody with Billy Gill is leaving and create the chatter necessary to draw people over to our show to start and hear the beginning of the show.

Speaker 16 But he didn't release it on time because your father is a fool. Like, he's known this since yesterday, but your father is simply, that's not an act.
Your father's a fool.

Speaker 60 Well, and he'll have an excuse. He'll have some type of excuse as to why it came out several minutes after nine, when obviously it should have been like 10 or 15 minutes before nine.

Speaker 60 He'll have some type of excuse. And it's the same thing with Cody being late here when he shows up.
It's like, dude, leave 25 minutes earlier than you normally hope that there was traffic. Oh, okay.

Speaker 60 To make sure there's no traffic. Leave 25 minutes earlier.
And he refuses to. So whatever happened today, this happened, this happened.

Speaker 5 Why didn't you release it 15 minutes earlier than you wanted to?

Speaker 24 In Greg's defense, there's probably cyber traffic today.

Speaker 34 You know, more cyber traffic than normal, not using the right Wi-Fi.

Speaker 29 I mean, yeah, what is he to do?

Speaker 2 Am I to believe that those leaks are coordinated?

Speaker 16 Well, this one was. This is what Mike said to me during this, like, we're just sitting here tapping our feet, and it's got, you know, this takes a minute to produce.

Speaker 16 So we're just waiting for Cody and waiting for Cody. And Mike says to me, the one time you actually gift this to him,

Speaker 16 he fumbles the bag. Chris, can you explain to me? Because I told you when I left here yesterday, I told you, tell your dad Billy's leaving.
He's going to love that.

Speaker 16 And your smile, the smile that came on your face was strong. And then he peppers me all night.
When can I release it? And I'm like, go talk to the people in charge.

Speaker 16 Go talk to the people who have the schedule on time. We should call your dad to ask him because he totally bots this.
He's not going to get the clicks because he didn't have it first.

Speaker 16 He doesn't know how to be first in the information age when there's cyber traffic and he doesn't want to leave his home on time.

Speaker 22 He had all the info.

Speaker 19 Plenty of time last night.

Speaker 2 This is ridiculous. I have no idea why he didn't get it out earlier.

Speaker 60 Wake up a little bit earlier and make sure it gets done.

Speaker 61 That's it. You can't control it.

Speaker 10 You guys think you hit send or however it works, and it takes as long as it takes.

Speaker 11 Remember Napster? That you'd hit download and you'd have to come back six days later to get it on.

Speaker 28 I stole so much music.

Speaker 28 Come on, guys.

Speaker 17 I was going to say, what was that guy's problem?

Speaker 28 Lars.

Speaker 28 What's his deal?

Speaker 50 Come at me, Lars.

Speaker 28 What's his problem?

Speaker 50 I stole so much.

Speaker 16 Dude, Lars, I stole so much of your music. And what?

Speaker 39 What do you think his net worth is?

Speaker 2 God, please, crying over whatever, spilt milk.

Speaker 28 He's doing all right.

Speaker 16 Can you explain, Zaz? Because I think people think it's Bit how frustrated Chris's dad has made you over the years. And it's not bit.

Speaker 16 I've gotten texts from Zaz, I'm not kidding, for 20 years about Cody's behavior.

Speaker 60 I just, I was, I was late late here one time, right? Okay, so I started coming in here regularly, I don't know, within the last five, six months. I was late one time.
I was so embarrassed.

Speaker 60 It was because of traffic. Now,

Speaker 60 I leave earlier because I made sure that's never going to happen again.

Speaker 60 But Greg refuses to adjust. Like, nope, this is when I leave.
And in a situation like this, today it's like, no, this is when I release my story. Do it 10 minutes earlier.

Speaker 56 This is such such bullshit.

Speaker 20 It's the one time in our history together that I genuinely feel Miami has a shot at a national title, and you're getting the f out of here.

Speaker 57 It's not even about winning number six, it's about shoving it in your face.

Speaker 39 Me?

Speaker 28 This is bullshit.

Speaker 39 Wait, we're talking about me? Yeah. Lars is worth $350 million.

Speaker 50 Yeah, they're a successful band. You heard of them, right? Metallica?

Speaker 55 Yeah, what's this? Cry baby.

Speaker 22 It would have been 400, though, without Napster, I guess.

Speaker 16 In

Speaker 16 the defense of stealing music, Billy's headed to Spotify.

Speaker 16 And we are happy for him.

Speaker 32 For the moment.

Speaker 21 You got two days to ruin that for him.

Speaker 39 Exactly right. Greg reached out to me.

Speaker 2 He's like, would you like to comment on this?

Speaker 34 I'm like, no, thank you.

Speaker 2 Like, I don't know what their situation is.

Speaker 34 And if they want that out there, I would prefer if this did not happen.

Speaker 26 So tomorrow's your last day.

Speaker 29 Right? Yeah.

Speaker 28 Yeah. That's what Greg.

Speaker 40 I may be back next week if I get fired before I start.

Speaker 24 Well, how does this work with a bucket?

Speaker 28 Can if you leave it.

Speaker 34 Oh, the best pick of all time today. Yeah.
No consequences.

Speaker 28 No, you have to show up to your initial

Speaker 28 Spotify meaning.

Speaker 60 Okay, but you know what's bullshit? Like, in the bucket, if he gets a swap and then he swaps with someone who has something really good, you get the hell out of here with that nonsense.

Speaker 16 You haven't suffered actually many consequences when it comes to punishments, but when you have, they've been hugely memorable.

Speaker 16 Like this season, you did the Ted Lasso, which consists of just putting on a fake mustache.

Speaker 34 No, no falsehoods.

Speaker 2 I had to be positive. And again, I went above and beyond with the mustache.
And UD reached out to me personally, said, you're good.

Speaker 34 So thanks, UD.

Speaker 16 Okay, I'm sorry to do this. I think the rules should probably be more lenient for you the last couple of days.
What's happening here?

Speaker 16 I'm looking forward to a second. No, let me see if I can find it.
It's not here anymore.

Speaker 16 The penalty for lying, because that's not true. You did not get reached out to me.

Speaker 2 I like Chris saying it's the same place it was last time.

Speaker 29 That was off Mike, Billy.

Speaker 16 But it's not there, so instead, this is the the penalty.

Speaker 8 My repellent, two minutes.

Speaker 17 Sport came out of your mouth.

Speaker 16 We will be nicer to Billy these next couple of days. And to prove that to you, yeah, that onion sound haunts me.

Speaker 16 Like, I was truly disgusted and felt bad for what would be a later hospitalized Billy Gill.

Speaker 16 The eating of a whole onion seems

Speaker 16 not smart and seems disgusting.

Speaker 28 It also has nothing to do with kidney sounds, let's be real. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Speaker 6 He dehydrates.

Speaker 56 I did him a solid.

Speaker 28 Got him to the hospital quicker.

Speaker 25 You're welcome.

Speaker 16 The way that we're going to celebrate this is obviously with the best producers in the land spending months to produce something to celebrate a great career here, 15 years here.

Speaker 16 That's one hell of a run.

Speaker 16 So we had Chris Cody cook up top five billies because he spent a lot of time on this the last few months working on how can I say goodbye to my good friend who I rub his back during skits and he touches my face.

Speaker 16 And how do I celebrate this man I've loved for 15 years? I know I'll do top five billies.

Speaker 57 I'll give you billies who are better than you.

Speaker 2 You want to see emotionally repressed.

Speaker 40 All right, get out of here, Dan.

Speaker 28 I've arrived.

Speaker 16 Any OLI here?

Speaker 28 No.

Speaker 30 So, number five,

Speaker 28 Billy Bean.

Speaker 1 Number four Billy Crystal

Speaker 1 Number three Billy Joel

Speaker 39 just number three, huh?

Speaker 56 Number two,

Speaker 22 Billy the Marlin.

Speaker 10 That's right, Zaz.

Speaker 22 And number one,

Speaker 1 this is going to be, it's Billy Gill.

Speaker 36 Wow.

Speaker 16 Holy shit.

Speaker 63 No wonder it took you months to prepare something so carefully sculpted.

Speaker 48 I had Billy Karuto.

Speaker 28 What about Billy Corbin? How does Billy Corbin knock down an OLI? No, no way.

Speaker 63 How does he not get an OLI?

Speaker 24 He's second on the list of Billies that get number six rubbed in their face.

Speaker 16 Can you get for me, please? Can you get for me just,

Speaker 16 I think, I don't know if Zaz's favorite clip from that is what I'm about to show you, but I think I want to go around and nominate from the video.

Speaker 16 And if you're only listening to this on audio, I suggest you check it out on YouTube. The montage that folks did here for Billy was lovely and covers a lot of ground.

Speaker 16 But my favorite moment, do you have it there of

Speaker 16 me,

Speaker 16 emotionally repressed me,

Speaker 16 sobbing, sobbing while talking to the actor Rob Delaney about the death of his child and the death of my brother.

Speaker 16 This, I believe, Zaz, if Zaz were coming up with a top five list of the moments that we just showed in that montage, I think he would choose this as number one.

Speaker 16 The places that you and I talked about the loss of your son. The places that you and I talked about the loss of your son at the time that we talked about it.

Speaker 16 I didn't even know my brother was sick when we had that conversation. And in the time since then, my brother has died.
And I will tell you

Speaker 16 that the pain of that has been, I don't know what your pain is exactly, right? I can't possibly know, even though

Speaker 16 you've written a book, but

Speaker 16 I feel like I lost a son because I raised him.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 14 Yeah. It's it's brutal.

Speaker 44 And I'm glad that you are talking about it. I'm so.
incredibly sorry. I'm glad that you're crying and that people can hear that because

Speaker 32 the pain.

Speaker 46 There's an old-timey baseball player here, Rob.

Speaker 28 Like, yes, thank you. Like, I can't cry in front of these people.

Speaker 16 Do you know how weak it is? Do you know?

Speaker 46 I'm a blubbering idiot, Rob. I mean this to be funny.

Speaker 45 Like, look, there's an old, there's an old-timey baseball player.

Speaker 27 Rob,

Speaker 28 I know.

Speaker 14 It's my favorite.

Speaker 46 See how well it goes when you actually pay the punishments?

Speaker 63 I mean, sometimes you end up up in the hospital, but sometimes

Speaker 63 you stare at a camera with a mustache dressed as a player from 1919.

Speaker 16 Billy, is there anything that you would like? And we'll have plenty of time for this over the next couple of days. I can get to the sports stuff, and we got a loaded show filled with a lot of guests.

Speaker 34 We have to talk to Congressman today.

Speaker 28 Yeah, we got to talk to Congressman.

Speaker 28 I got to bet the house.

Speaker 51 Got to solve this government shutdown shutdown today on the Dan Levantard show.

Speaker 16 Or bet the house, or we could just bet the house.

Speaker 61 Come on, that's when I need to finish editing. We have to get it.

Speaker 28 It takes a long time, and we're, again, we're a little bit late, so

Speaker 16 because of Greg Cody, Chris, get your dad on the phone so we can hear his excuses. Oh, another guest.
His excuses.

Speaker 52 Can we veto this?

Speaker 16 I just want to call him. I just want to call him and get and hear his excuses.
We don't have to see him at a Zoom or anything else, just a phone call so that I can find out for Zaz.

Speaker 16 I want to guess what the excuse is he's going to make for botching this. But is there anything that you would like to say, or would you like?

Speaker 16 I know you're not comfortable, or I'm assuming you're not comfortable with some of this. Is there anything that you want to say, or do you want to just save it for tomorrow? Nah, we're good.

Speaker 28 You're talking to me, right? Nah, we're good. Okay.

Speaker 37 I'm sorry I broke a camera when I was in the penalty box.

Speaker 24 I threw a baseball at it.

Speaker 16 Well, just throwing.

Speaker 37 Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Speaker 16 You're getting sexy about the moments.

Speaker 63 Slow down. We haven't even gotten.

Speaker 57 Stugats.

Speaker 29 Jason Sanders, you're unnoticed.

Speaker 29 Oh, my God. What in spite of him?

Speaker 29 Oh, wow. I love you, Duke.

Speaker 51 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 16 the Miami Dolphins mess

Speaker 16 continues to swirl in a way that makes Billy say off air that the Dolphins should move the franchise, and Zaz get excited about a fire sale.

Speaker 16 So, let me just take you through the video and the audio from the last couple of days so you guys can see the mess the Dolphins presently, the noisy mess the Dolphins presently have on them that is unlike the mess around other one and five teams.

Speaker 16 Let's begin with what it is Tua said after they lost a game that he won with less than a minute left and shouldn't have been lost and was not his fault in any way that they lost.

Speaker 16 And he made sure to point out to you afterward that it was not his fault in any way that they're losing.

Speaker 62 I think it starts with the leadership in helping articulate that for the guys and then what we're expecting out of the guys, right? We're expecting this. Are we getting that? Are we not getting that?

Speaker 62 We have guys showing up to player-only meetings late, guys not showing up to player-only meetings. Like, there's a lot that goes into that.
Do we have to make this mandatory?

Speaker 62 Do we not have to make this mandatory? So, so it's a lot of

Speaker 62 things of that nature that we got to get cleaned up.

Speaker 7 To be clear, you're saying some players were late or missed? Late.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 60 Definitely not his fault in any way. I'm glad he pointed that out, including, you know, another multi-interception game, this time three of them.

Speaker 16 It was a three-interception game, right? It's not a multi-interception game. But two of them, I mean, the first one wasn't his fault, and the last one was irrelevant.

Speaker 14 Oh, stop making excuses.

Speaker 28 Not irrelevant? I've never seen before.

Speaker 50 I saw the Miami Miracle.

Speaker 60 You know about Kenyon Drake?

Speaker 16 You thought that that's where that play was going to end up at the end? It was bad and sour punctuation, and three interceptions obviously is bad, but I don't know, I can't predict the future.

Speaker 16 Okay, here's McDaniel reacting to what it is that Tua said, and it's exactly what a quarterback needs to not do. They all know it, they've known it.

Speaker 16 Marino used to do this expertly: the only job is to make sure the questions get away from your locker. Like, that's that.
Don't say anything ever about anything that can become a headline.

Speaker 16 Don't ever do that.

Speaker 65 You know, regardless of an intent and,

Speaker 65 you know, what was

Speaker 65 to his mind,

Speaker 65 after a loss as the franchise quarterback, that's not the forum to displace that. I think he knows that now I do honestly believe it was not, there's no ill intention, but you're talking about,

Speaker 65 you know, I think kind of a misguided repres representation of

Speaker 65 player orchestrated film sessions.

Speaker 65 And,

Speaker 65 you know, the bottom line is no one's going to be happy and always is looking for

Speaker 65 reasons

Speaker 65 for failure to succeed so you're trying to look for reasons that

Speaker 65 you know you can attribute to losses and there's a you know heavy is the crown of being a franchise quarterback that's rambling nonsense nonsense seems so bad it used to be so cute that whole shit

Speaker 16 there's nothing good here you guys are a joke when when zaz says used to be cute, Zaz has arrived at Tua's unlikable, which caught me totally off guard.

Speaker 16 But let's get to Tua's apology here because this is the kind of stuff you don't want to be doing, wasting energy on publicly and privately while trying to prepare to get out of a one-in-five hole when you can't stop anyone from running the football.

Speaker 62 As a leader of this team, of the Miami Dolphins,

Speaker 62 you know, the comments that had been said,

Speaker 62 I would say I've made a mistake and I'm owning up to that right now

Speaker 62 You know, I've talked to guys on the team about it talked to the leaders about it and you know that

Speaker 62 They know my heart. They know that

Speaker 62 The intent was right, but no matter the intent

Speaker 62 You know the intent can be right, but when things get misconstrued or however the media wants to portray it, you know, that that leaves a void of silence and a lot of questions for the guys on our team.

Speaker 62 Now, being one in five, you know, we talk a lot about, all right, we got to get this going, we got to get this going, come in excited to go to work, forget about the noise, and I feel like I just added on to that for our guys.

Speaker 62 You know, for myself, I got to look at myself as the leader. protecting the team.
I don't feel like I

Speaker 62 did that to the best of my abilities. I felt like I let the emotions of the game get to me after the game.
And, you know, that's something that I can learn from as a leader on this team.

Speaker 62 And what happens in-house should be protected. And none of that should have gotten out.
And so I want to publicly apologize about that. I want to move forward.

Speaker 62 And now I want to focus on the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 21 Is the game plan for the Cleveland Browns rambling?

Speaker 28 My God. Did he write that in a Sharpie whiteboard?

Speaker 22 I'm just watching like the worst soap opera ever.

Speaker 16 I slipped into a coma in the middle of whatever that was.

Speaker 60 I think he's crossed over a line now where he's kind of unlikable.

Speaker 28 Yeah, I do.

Speaker 57 Let's go back a few examples.

Speaker 21 I have one example.

Speaker 60 You're going to say, mind that I'm going to be.

Speaker 29 Glass bottles on a boat.

Speaker 21 You don't do that.

Speaker 57 People can cut their feet.

Speaker 26 Irresponsible. I love him.

Speaker 4 He went and he got that concussion and ruined that season, too.

Speaker 28 Not what I was going to say, but. Oh, really?

Speaker 24 Oh, you're a bad guy if you have a glass beer bottle on a boat.

Speaker 10 You don't do that.

Speaker 60 Remember the beginning of training camp last year? And the first time he's talking to the crowd, he gets on the microphone and he tells everybody, show me the money!

Speaker 50 Who does that?

Speaker 60 It was like, and we all thought it was kind of weird in the moment.

Speaker 60 Who does that? It's an odd thing to do.

Speaker 60 Then you had earlier this season when he was asked, you know, how do you recover over something like, or how do you take into the criticism and say, you know, my family loves me.

Speaker 60 I just go home and everything's okay.

Speaker 16 All right. You guys have turned on him because he's losing.

Speaker 28 And I questions the leadership.

Speaker 28 But he's the leader.

Speaker 37 100%.

Speaker 24 And his politics. Yes.

Speaker 16 You guys have turned on him. I want you to see how Chris Cody was looking at him.
And I'll remind you that the way that Chris Cody talked about him was, show me the money was super confident.

Speaker 16 Look, my quarterback's confident. I love that I have a confident quarterback.

Speaker 16 And he told us in that interview where Chris Cody was playing with his drawstrings and staring longingly at the Dolphins finally have a quarterback. He told us that that was a bet.

Speaker 16 He had a bet with one of his teammates that he wouldn't do that uh and he won the bet that's what he was that's what he was doing short on money

Speaker 60 so he has a bet to uh show everyone i can look like an asshole

Speaker 16 let's call your father speaking of assholes uh chris let's call your father and and have him give us his explanation for why he botched this the way that he botched this this morning the thing is like if he just owned it I think you'd feel different too.

Speaker 4 It's like he does these things and he like backtracks like, oh, sorry.

Speaker 62 Like, I want to be a bad person.

Speaker 29 Cody or Tua?

Speaker 10 No, Tua. Like, just own it.

Speaker 37 Like, you want to be a villain?

Speaker 36 Be a villain.

Speaker 16 Hello, Greg.

Speaker 16 Greg, what happened?

Speaker 28 Greg, what happened?

Speaker 28 What do you mean?

Speaker 16 Why were you late?

Speaker 32 What do you mean, what happened?

Speaker 16 We're calling you on air. We're calling you on air right now, and we're just curious why you broke the news late and why our show was waiting around for you to break the news.

Speaker 35 Yeah, that's I can't answer the latter, but I did not break the news late.

Speaker 35 The

Speaker 35 story I wrote posted online in the Miami Herald at 8:58,

Speaker 35 and it's doing very good business. It's already, in just a matter of minutes, it's already the second most read thing I've written this month.
And

Speaker 62 so I'm all happy on this.

Speaker 24 It's incredible considering how bad the Dolphins have been.

Speaker 22 Was the first them being 15th in the league?

Speaker 35 No, the first one happens to be

Speaker 35 their loss to Carolina, just randomly.

Speaker 14 Not that anybody cares.

Speaker 32 We'll break that.

Speaker 16 We'll break that record for you. Billy will break that record for you.

Speaker 16 But do you understand how it is that it wouldn't quite work to break the news two minutes early because it doesn't give people the time to go from wondering why Billy is leaving, talking about why Billy is leaving, being

Speaker 16 curious and wanting answers to why Billy is leaving, and have only your article to look for?

Speaker 16 It would have been better for you to not do that with two minutes because because then you would have given people time to react.

Speaker 27 Yeah, well,

Speaker 35 we had a technical issue on this end.

Speaker 32 Cyber traffic.

Speaker 35 That delayed it by about 10 minutes. Nobody wants to hear about that.
You know, I'm not an excuse maker. No.

Speaker 35 My main thought is that I'm sad that I'm not in today to share in the fond farewell to Billy.

Speaker 16 Well, tomorrow's the last day if you want to come in and work three days this week.

Speaker 4 No, in Greg's offense, he has the knee thing, and he signed a two-day a week deal.

Speaker 16 But if you want to say goodbye to Billy, tomorrow's his last day, not today. So you do still have time.
You can beat traffic.

Speaker 16 If you start early, you can beat traffic, get here on time tomorrow, and be here for Billy's last day.

Speaker 35 Yeah, that would require me to cancel an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who wants to repair my knee. So I'm going to decline that.
But

Speaker 35 I'll miss Billy. Nobody will miss Billy more than me, who has come to my defense over the years.
And I patented the phrase, thank you, Billy. I patented that phrase.

Speaker 62 Copy. I know.
No, you didn't.

Speaker 28 Yes. Greg, Greg,

Speaker 60 Greg, your Billy tweet this morning came out at 9.03.

Speaker 35 Yeah, but the story posted at 8.58. I'm a busy man, Zeth.
You know, I have things on my plate other than this story. Believe it or not.

Speaker 16 Oh, so you're saying now that something is more important than clicks?

Speaker 16 You're saying publicly that something in your life is more important than clicks.

Speaker 35 Of course, yeah.

Speaker 32 What was it?

Speaker 35 Friends and family. Health.
I have perspective.

Speaker 16 What were you

Speaker 16 13 minutes that you were late, was that because you were tending to friends and family?

Speaker 35 That's exactly right. And by the way, I croon a tribute song for Billy.
Getty and I put together a tribute song. which is heartfelt and I look forward to you all hearing that.

Speaker 27 My voice is terrible right now.

Speaker 28 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 29 Well, just it's it's something going around.

Speaker 28 It's from all the singing.

Speaker 16 It looks like the rest of you. See you later.
Greg,

Speaker 60 Greg, I tried your K-Cup trick.

Speaker 40 I liked it.

Speaker 50 It tasted good. I felt like I got good value.
Thank you.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Thank you.

Speaker 28 Yeah, how about that?

Speaker 35 Yes, I appreciate that.

Speaker 32 You want to tell the people

Speaker 28 you've ever given me.

Speaker 16 You want to tell the people who weren't listening yesterday what the K-Cup trick is so that they have some context to what it is that you're saying.

Speaker 60 Yeah, so Greg yesterday said that he does the K-cup to make his coffee, and rather than throw it away after usage, he believes that there's still some good, you know, coffee bean grinds still in that cup, and he uses it again for an extra cup.

Speaker 38 K-cup, K-cup!

Speaker 35 What a money saver!

Speaker 48 K-cup, K-cup!

Speaker 48 Drinking your coffee,

Speaker 47 Speak it with Cody.

Speaker 16 Look how happy Jeremy is there. We should have had the narcissist cam on Jeremy there just listening to the sound of his own voice.
We all know he loves the sound of his own voice.

Speaker 29 You're going to get to hear more of it, apparently.

Speaker 16 I hope so. Much more do you have there?

Speaker 16 Did we ever find out whether that's music we're allowed to use or not? Because I hope so.

Speaker 28 I go learn.

Speaker 16 Mike was very strong on air telling me that it's music that we can use. And then after the show, I'm like, can we are you sure we can use that? Mike was slightly less sure.

Speaker 16 We used Steamboat Willie as soon as he became available. As soon as he got out of Disney's evil clutches, we used that and he became public domain.

Speaker 16 I believe the greatest song, because John Tesh called Monday Night Football's theme the greatest song ever made. I'm surprised to hear that's public domain.

Speaker 16 I'm surprised. I heard you guys talking before the show about how you remember a day when Monday Night Football started at nine o'clock.

Speaker 60 Well, because what happened was,

Speaker 60 you know, the guys out there were complaining that, number one, complaining about the two Monday night football games, which I love when there's two Monday night football games, but it's 7 and 10 p.m.

Speaker 60 this week, the Monday Night Football.

Speaker 50 Like, 10 o'clock is way too late.

Speaker 60 And then I had to remind everyone, when I was growing up, Monday nightball is at 9.20.

Speaker 28 Dan, that's so late, 9.20.

Speaker 16 Yeah, but there were only three channels back then.

Speaker 28 No, in the 90s? No.

Speaker 28 what? When

Speaker 16 Monday night football, let's see what time I have here. When Monday night football was starting and at its largest, it's when it was three channels.

Speaker 21 That's no, I remember growing up as a kid on ABC, Sultan Peppa, doing a What a Man intro for Dave Wonstadt.

Speaker 60 Oh, remember they had like the guest musicians do the intro.

Speaker 21 Cable was around in the 90s.

Speaker 60 Man, what a time to be.

Speaker 22 Remember the local pregame show with

Speaker 59 yes, Savilo and Hank would be there?

Speaker 16 Good, the bad, the ugly.

Speaker 16 we're here at chula's uh put it on the poll at lebertard show do you uh prefer when there are two monday night football games why not uh yes or no because i may be longing for a time a romantic time that as mike just pointed out on my timeline doesn't actually exist when there was one game that everybody was watching on monday night that we were watching that america was watching something together and it was the one thing hell i mean when zaz talks about think about how outdated this is.

Speaker 16 When Zaz talks about growing up watching Monday Night Football, whether there was cable or not, the rights were so fractured back then that you would get caught up on all of Sunday's highlights on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 16 They'd put the package together for you and it was something that everybody was watching. You were not getting your highlights instantaneously.

Speaker 16 You were waiting for Monday Night Football and Howard Kosell to deliver you what happened on Sunday.

Speaker 50 Dan, Sunday night, Chris Berman's two-minute drill, must watch, because I had to know what happened in all the other games.

Speaker 22 I thought it's the fastest three minutes in sports.

Speaker 60 They changed it because then, like, they wanted to pack in some more odds. It used to be fast as two minutes.
They changed it to the spots.

Speaker 16 But it was never two minutes. It was always 25 minutes.

Speaker 22 They're like, Boomer, you've earned an extra minute.

Speaker 16 No, I think it was always 25 minutes, and they called it the fastest two minutes in sports.

Speaker 21 Either way, they had to stop calling it that after Rick Petino took the low job.

Speaker 16 The Dolphins and Tua, the thing you're doing on making him unlikable is because he's one and five instead of five and one.

Speaker 16 Like, you're going to find the reasons because you're mad at this football game.

Speaker 50 Yeah, bad quarterback is unlikable.

Speaker 16 He gave you hope. They gave you hope.
They gave you basically 11 games of hope when they were 9-2 and then lost to Tennessee at home in a Monday night game. That was a standalone game.

Speaker 16 That's the only one anyone was watching that night. There weren't two of them that night.

Speaker 59 That's when everything went wrong.

Speaker 28 Right there. Our fault for sure.

Speaker 59 That blown lead.

Speaker 22 That watch party.

Speaker 16 I am longing for a romantic time. I think Zaszlo's probably got this right.
If I gave you 10 games on Monday night, that would be the preference.

Speaker 24 We have to reverse the curse. It was a watch party that did this.

Speaker 24 Now to turn things around, you're going to host a block party at a Flanagan's in Kendall.

Speaker 16 This is going to be huge and fun.

Speaker 16 Keep it going.

Speaker 32 It's a block party.

Speaker 28 What day is this?

Speaker 16 It's the 30th. It's soon here.
It's very near your house.

Speaker 16 We're finally putting one of these.

Speaker 2 Even before Halloween, everybody knows I like to get my Halloween trick-or-treating in early.

Speaker 58 It's presented by good friends at Miller Light.

Speaker 16 It is unknown if Billy will show up, but the rest of us will be there. And it is a fun block party that we have planned.

Speaker 2 I can't wait to see you all there. I'm sure you're really excited to see me and not Billy.

Speaker 22 $1,500 costume contest will be there at the Flanagans in Kendall October 30th. Good fun.

Speaker 28 Does Jeremy think he's replacing Billy?

Speaker 54 Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you you about Miller Light, but I want to talk to you about Miller Light with my good friend Rose.

Speaker 55 Hey, Rose.

Speaker 12 Hi, everybody.

Speaker 52 When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends.

Speaker 24 I consider us friends.

Speaker 52 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 20 We're often toasting the good times.

Speaker 26 And what am I toasting with?

Speaker 25 With Miller Light.

Speaker 12 That's right, Miller Light.

Speaker 6 Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Light in your hand.

Speaker 57 From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment.

Speaker 56 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room.

Speaker 25 And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant.

Speaker 52 That beautiful white can.

Speaker 54 How beautiful is that?

Speaker 52 Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Is that your favorite sound?

Speaker 55 Oh, no. It is a horsey.

Speaker 28 A horsey?

Speaker 5 All right, we'll stop doing that.

Speaker 26 And here's a kicker. Miller Light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 58 The original light beer since 1975.

Speaker 38 That's right.

Speaker 52 And still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 26 You're so good at this, Rose. I know.

Speaker 10 So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time.

Speaker 25 Look at us. We're a great tag team.
I'm five again.

Speaker 52 Can you do that? Uh, that beer sound one more time

Speaker 38 and the horse sound one more time.

Speaker 26 I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good.

Speaker 5 Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.
