Now is a good time to remember where the story of tequila started. In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family. And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family-owned from the start, same family, same land. Now is a good time to enjoy Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Go to cuervo. Com to shop tequila or visit a store near you. Cuervo, now's a good time. Trademark's owned by Begle. Sab, The CV. Copyright 2024. Proximo. Jersey City, New Jersey. Please drink responsibly. This is the Dan Levatore Show with the You Got Spotcast.

[00:00:50]

I have to handle some family matters, some personal family matters that are soon going to take me out of the show for a little bit. I don't want do it before getting to a handful of things. I want to replenish myself with the medicine of what is good content around here before I leave. I want to ask you, Greg Cody, to help me with this because we have some video of... This is Mighty Mouse, right? Demetrius Johnson. I want to tell the people who might not understand the fighting game that if the fighting game were fair and just instead of, I don't know, Jake Paul or Mike Tyson or anybody getting the money, Mighty Mouse, pound for pound, you can make the argument, is the greatest fighter we've ever seen anywhere in the world because he's tiny and it doesn't make any sense that no one can ever hurt him. There are more ways to hurt him than there were to hurt Floyd Mayweather. It's a bit crazy. Tony, you can speak to this better than me, but this video is in no way surprising to me because Demetrius Johnson, Mighty Mouse, would kick everybody's ass who's in front of him, no matter their size or weight.

[00:01:57]

But I think this might be surprising to people, this video, video. Yeah.

[00:02:00]

So what it is, is this is actually an open weight class jiu-jitsu competition that Mighty Mouse is a part of. And Mighty Mouse has competed about a 135 bantam weight for basically his entire career. And the guy that he's fighting, as you can see on screen, is 6'3, 250 some odd pounds. So it would be basically a heavyweight versus a bantam weight in a open jiu-jitsu match. So this video is actually about 6 to 7 minutes long. And for the first five minutes, it's Mighty Mouse trying to figure out exactly where to get this guy And the guy is ragdolling him, throwing him around, throwing him around. Then Mighty Mouse finally gets him on the floor, climbs on him like a... You could see here, I don't even know what he's doing here. It's incredible to see a guy that size. And Mighty Mouse is 38, so he's towards the tail end of his fighting career. Still being able to do stuff like this is incredible.

[00:02:49]

One of the ways that Jake Paul has been so smart about reinventing how you make money in that game is that once upon a time, you could have made the argument Anderson Silva was the best pound for pound in the history of the sport. When Jake Paul beats him, it seems like he's beating somebody who's credible and legitimate, but he was never known for his boxing prow. I mean, he could also strike. He was a great striker.

[00:03:12]

He was great. By that sports standard.

[00:03:14]

But he was also an incredible kickboxer.

[00:03:16]

He was a striker. He could be a striker, but he wasn't a boxer. He wasn't a boxer. He had punching power, but he didn't have a boxer's punching power, and he was close to 50. Now, Mike Tyson is 57. But this This is what I've always liked about them.

[00:03:32]

I love the OnlyFans on Mighty Mouse's Gee, by the way.

[00:03:34]

We actually spoke to Mighty Mouse. You can go check that out on our YouTube page. He was talking about his OnlyFans, how he trains. He basically puts everything behind a paywall of how he trains, how he eats, the things that he gets ready for, and it's probably on that.

[00:03:46]

This is like a sports bar discussion if you just totally overlook the fact that they're both brown belts. It's one thing if Mighty Mouse can take down a 250 pound, 6'3 dude, and you'd probably They have arguments in sports bars or barbershops that he's just good because look at him, he's small. But if he gets up against a real big, tough guy, he's done. According to that sport, they are the same level.

[00:04:12]

It opens almost the conversation that we always have with fighters years. Hey, how long would it take you to do X to X person? And Mighty Mouse is like, Oh, I'm 5'7, 135 pounds, and I'll beat a guy that's 6'3, 250 in about seven minutes.

[00:04:24]

Oh, but do you guys know, do you understand here? This one has hurt me. It's actually hurt because Mike got a lot of flack for being the guy who was finally out on the Cleveland Browns because, come on, we can't be that despicable. Not that despicable. What I've always loved about, never mind, UFC, mixed martial arts, when I was watching it, when the way they would do it is some guy was coming to the octagon and he was carrying an actual crucifix, a giant. The stupidity of it was so heavy and he was gassed by the time that he got to the octagon. But I've loved the dirty elements of, Oh, we're going to test the Brazilian martial arts. We're going test the Gracie family in the sewer?

[00:05:02]

Look, I have learned a lot. But as an impressionable teenager, the open weight early days of the ultimate fighting championship- The guy wearing shoes. Yes, it was mixed martial arts in that you had all these different disciplines combining into one competition. But if you were, I practiced kempo karate at the time, if you were pounding the table for your discipline, you actually got to see these fights play out. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu against a stand-up kempo karate fighter. There was this Canadian that was just a wet blanket of kempo karate skill that would get in the way of dream matchups. You had wrestling backgrounds like Ken Shamrock, a win, and you legitimately had dream matchups of different styles. Then the sport evolved to the point that you needed, in order to get anywhere in that sport, you needed to know all the martial arts mixed.

[00:05:53]

When we just saw, put something on screen, if we could put that B-roll again of early days in the UFC where a guy is wearing shoes, running out there, and a guy with a gear who obviously knows Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Funny you talk about Crucifix. The guy puts him in a Crucifix, hits him with three elbows, and it was over.

[00:06:05]

Well, they will be able to find, go ahead and find for me, the most primitive of whoever that guy was. I don't even think he was a good fighter. But what I'm telling you about what I've always loved about that sport and the heartbreaking parts of letting it go because I've had to let it go. I love the arts tested against each other.

[00:06:21]

And if you go back to that- You've let the sport go, huh?

[00:06:24]

You can come back on a hangout anytime you want. You know there's an open invitation for you, Dan, right?

[00:06:28]

I've got my virtues. I signal them from time to time. It's hard to let it go. I still can't quit this sport. I have so many issues with it. Ufc, biggest game in town, total monopoly over this sport. And they have fights that I'll overlook things that I can't overlook in my day to in my life because I just find a way to put it in a silo.

[00:06:48]

Dan, when Sean O'Malley hit Chido Vera with that knee, that sounded like a baseball back crack, and Chido didn't even... He just moved his head back and put it back up.

[00:06:59]

That was I am telling you, because Stugatz is always making fun of me about how much I love boxing. I'm a fighting expert, alleged fighting expert. It's like the one thing I care about in terms of the beauty of sports. Wait a minute.

[00:07:12]

You were on the foreman beat.

[00:07:13]

Wait a minute. You're going to tell me that I can test all the fighting styles against each other for baddest man on the planet and the earliest incarnations of this sport. They had so many fewer rules about safety. It was the most savage thing. Never mind John McCain calling it cockfighting. Before that, it was the most primitive. It was dog fighting for humans.

[00:07:35]

It felt like it should have been illegal. It should have been illegal. They fixed the sport, thankfully, to where it's a lot safer for what it is. Introduction of more weight classes being the biggest possible thing for that sport. But Demetrius Johnson is just that good.

[00:07:50]

He's an absolute badass. The way that you see his career, he's moved from the UFC, he's now in one Championship over in Asia.

[00:07:56]

Which has affected his legacy because he's not in the show. I mean, he was for a good amount of time.

[00:08:02]

But it was more his relationship with Dana. No, but wait a minute. What affects his legacy is we're only going to respect you so much the world if you're a buck 30. We're not going to actually make you baddest man in the world if you weigh 130 pounds.

[00:08:15]

We won't allow it. I just saw Conor McGregor get a starring role. The UFC will do that.

[00:08:20]

I just saw Floyd Mayweather buy the whole Gucci store, so I'm not sure.

[00:08:24]

Yeah, it's the one championship versus the UFC. Him not getting along with Dana has hurt his name from being brought up consistently in these conversations.

[00:08:35]

I understand what you're saying about Floyd because obviously, he made a lot of money, and he did it the most amazing way, undented, playing defense in the fighting game. It's ridiculous. The point to not get hit, and he made all that money doing that. But we will only respect you so much as a fighter unless you're in Ganu. The thing we respect the most is, can you knock someone out with one strike? Not, are you the best grappler in the world? Can with one strike, you fell any person? That's where Mighty Mouse suffers from. You've got to have some size on you to have the amount of menace that this requires to be baddest man in the world.

[00:09:14]

The Mike Tyson type.

[00:09:17]

And funny, now you look at it, Anthony Joshua knocks out Francis Zagun three times in a row, knocks him out of the canvas, knocks him out cold. Francis Zengaden said in the second round, he had no idea he was fighting. He was just standing there like, Oh, wait, I'm in a fight. And we've always talked about Anthony Joshua have been a great boxer, but never really takes that next step to be best of the world. And it feels like you look at Francis Zagun who took Tyson Fury to the judge's scorecards, and it's like, man, you look at those guys, how big they are, and it's impressive. Where you look at Mighty Mouse and you see him do something against a guy, 250 pounds, you're like, Oh, that's cute.

[00:09:52]

There you go.

[00:09:54]

That thing said Lewis. That Louis just said that thing. The segment needed an ending, and Louis is just saying that the best ending would have been just you going that thing. I thought we were out of time. We were out of time. It just...

[00:10:12]

That would have been perfect. It always fits.

[00:10:16]

For Bridget Christ, the road to love was not so straightforward. Bridgie, I forbid you for marrying that spendthrift youth, Miles car.

[00:10:24]

What the devil is that? I'm setting up an N50 video account on my mobile cellular telephone. Thus, procuring a discount on the M50 highway tow a path.

[00:10:34]

Very prudent, Mr. Carr. It seems I've misjudged you. Eflow presents accounts and accountability.

[00:10:39]

Pay your tolls automatically and get a discount with a free M50 video tolling account at eFlow. Ie.

[00:10:45]

Don Levatard.

[00:10:47]

I miss crank windows. Too many unnecessary conveniences now. Cruise control, please. I've got cruise control built in. It's called my right foot. It controls how fast the car goes. No button or steering wheel lever needed. Power steering. There's another one. Why do I give my power to the car? The power that I once had. The car is a ton of metal. I'm a damn college graduate.

[00:11:12]

Stugatz.

[00:11:13]

Bluetooth HD radio, satellite. I'll take AM, please, with Wolfman Jack talking through the static, and I'll crank the windows down so everybody can hear. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day. This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugats.

[00:11:36]

Amin is back. I am grateful for his presence. Oddball every day except for Monday. Oddball is... Oh, I love that commercial you did. I mean, oddball, I can feel it getting stronger and stronger.

[00:11:49]

Yes, it's only a matter of time.

[00:11:52]

Jesus.

[00:11:53]

Then we get bigger.

[00:11:54]

I'm waiting for you to be a bigger oddball. I am. I want bigger balls around here in There is something, though.

[00:12:02]

On ball is positively throbbing right now.

[00:12:04]

And you know it.

[00:12:06]

Caleb- What's the name of my material?

[00:12:08]

Caleb Williams. We could have used it at the end of the last segment. We could have used a stray and you know it as Tony lost track of the clock and just started talking about mixed martial arts in a way that was too serious.

[00:12:18]

Back in my day today?

[00:12:20]

Is there Back in my day?

[00:12:21]

There is, actually. What?

[00:12:23]

Were you not going to tell anyone? Wait a minute. You guys. Guys, it's a Tuesday. Seriously. I don't understand. Wait, we've got to do that?

[00:12:32]

I got to get to Caleb Williams. There's news breaking with Caleb Williams. I've got to get to Greg Cody is mad at Tim Kerkshan and me because Tim Kerkshan's podcast with his son just got so much promotion.

[00:12:44]

Seriously, I mean, The Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody and Chris Cody, invented the Father and Son podcast. And yet, I can't get a shout out on this show. I mean, I'm sitting right here.

[00:12:55]

He's got a point. Mark Jackson has a podcast with his son now. It's all the rage now.

[00:13:00]

Father and Son podcast. Where am I rural? He checks at.

[00:13:02]

Okay, he's mad at Tim Kershia. We'll get to that in just a second. We've got to update our March Sadness tournament as well. But I was hugely surprised, and I don't know the discomforts of this. Juju, are you surprised in any way that a Ameen's father watches this show, and Ameen's an adult. He's a front office person. Look at Billy yauning right there. Our parents, nobody here- It's unrelated to this. Our parents here do not watch what we're doing here. Ameen, with a grandfather A fathered, aged parent who I don't know why he would be watching this show or his son at all. I certainly can't see him understanding what you're doing here, throwing away your career.

[00:13:41]

Wouldn't he be a father, aged father?

[00:13:43]

No, he's grandfather's age. He's a grandfather.

[00:13:46]

Is that right? Greg's right.

[00:13:48]

Thank you. But my guess is, how old is your dad?

[00:13:52]

My dad's about your dad's age.

[00:13:54]

So he's almost 80.

[00:13:55]

Yeah, but that's a dad's age, too.

[00:13:57]

Yeah, he's still dad.

[00:13:58]

It's a prerec.

[00:13:59]

Why don't you just say the age rather than just confuse me? Because grandfathers can be very young these days.

[00:14:05]

Because I mean, even though sometimes he sounds like a child, is an old person, and his father is much older.

[00:14:10]

Just reveal the age. Kurt Russell is playing 93-year-olds out here.

[00:14:14]

Sounds like a child. That sounds like a blast.

[00:14:17]

I'm just saying when you go to the All-Star Game and get drunk and don't produce any footage, some people can say that.

[00:14:22]

That's the behavior. Don't say that now. He listens to the show, Dan.

[00:14:24]

Does he watch the show only when you're on or every day?

[00:14:27]

This is what happened. I was I love the old guy.

[00:14:33]

Only on Tuesdays. I love Cody in his back in my day. Thank you.

[00:14:37]

Billy, my dad, and I don't know if your dad is of this age, but my dad is of the age where he watches YouTube videos on his phone very loud Lovely.

[00:14:45]

My dad's not 80.

[00:14:46]

Okay. My dad is at that age, where everything he watches is full blast. I hear it, and sometimes it's news, and sometimes it's soccer highlights, and sometimes it's something, a little funny skit or whatever. So I'm listening one day and I'm like, these voices sound real familiar. What's he listening to? And then I realized, oh, shit, he's listening to us.

[00:15:08]

On a day when you weren't there?

[00:15:10]

On a day when I wasn't there. But then I thought, maybe it's just one of those videos, right? So then the other day, he says, oh, they really made fun of you about that shot, huh? And I said, what are you talking about, father? Because I thought maybe he just caught it off like Facebook or something like that. He's like, yeah, Dan and those guys, they were really getting into you on that. I was like, Oh, you watch the show now? Is this a thing? So now we have to be careful.

[00:15:40]

Ceelo Green became a grandfather at the age of 35.

[00:15:43]

Wow. My mommy watches this show. My mommy watches this show every day. Does she? Well, she watches it when I'm on it. Yeah, my dad's the same.

[00:15:50]

My father would be 108. I'm just saying.

[00:15:54]

Would he watch the show? Yeah, would he watch the show?

[00:15:55]

He is right now. From heaven.

[00:15:57]

Kiefer Southern one was under 40. What? What?

[00:16:01]

Wow.

[00:16:02]

I was nominated and I achieved the 40 Under 40 Award with help from Roy Bellamy this year. Wow, congrats. There you go. I didn't make a big deal about it, but since we're talking about 40s.

[00:16:11]

40 Under 40? No, that's pretty big. Again, your mom must be real proud.

[00:16:15]

Yes, sir.

[00:16:16]

Thank you so much. My dad is not because I haven't been nominated for shit other than Suey's.

[00:16:20]

I was at church the other day and the priest said that he baptized someone and baptized their grandparents. I immediately turned to someone sitting next to me and go, He's lying. It just seems impossible.

[00:16:31]

In the church.

[00:16:32]

I did say it in the church. If anything, it seems like a good place to be forgiven. But come on.

[00:16:37]

That was a Wapper. That's the place where you're efficient? Yeah.

[00:16:40]

Hold on. Is that the best place to lie?

[00:16:42]

If you're going to murder someone, do it right before you go to confession.

[00:16:45]

Because then it's just like, Turn around, right here. Absolved.

[00:16:47]

Was it Father Eddie?

[00:16:49]

No, that's a whole other.

[00:16:51]

It is allegedly. I'm not sure that Juju can... You're talking about being efficient in how it is you sin so that you can sin quickly and get it immediately absorbed. So just do it in the confess box. I picked my spots.

[00:17:05]

Speaking of efficiency, we haven't gotten to any of the topics you were crunched for time on.

[00:17:09]

Thank you, Juju. I appreciate it. But one of them was his dad watches the show because I'm confused by it. But let's get to Greg Cody's back in my day because I didn't even know we had one of those.

[00:17:23]

Now, it is time to take a trip down memory lane.

[00:17:28]

Here's your guy, Greg Cody with Back in My Day.

[00:17:34]

Shit, I can't help my other man.

[00:17:37]

Okay, here it is. Sorry. Adultery. That is-Oh, yeah.

[00:17:43]

We are back.

[00:17:45]

We are waiting for this one.

[00:17:46]

Wait, by accident, what just happened. I think that's the record. Roy, for years, has been counting the amount of time that he pregnant pauses there. That was the record because he was looking for his paper because he was surprised that he has a back in My Day.

[00:17:59]

I got I got a lot of papers here. I'm a busy man. Adultery. First, an important disclaimer. This back in my day is absolutely not an essay born of personal experience. If it were, what was the chance I'd actually admit it on a national podcast? Okay, let's be honest about something inherently dishonest. Adultery, infidelity, cheating, whatever you want to call it, was so much easier back before technology came along and ruined everything. Or rather, so I'd imagine the clandestine Casanovas I would lament. Cheating was easy once. You just had to make sure you weren't doing it around friends, neighbors, or coworkers. So if you lived in Mayberry, the two of you drove up to Mount Pilot, got a corner booth at the bar, then a room at the Nootel Motel, and called it a night. You were blessedly incommunicado. There were no cell phones allowing any busybody's Snoop to record or photograph you. You were completely out of touch until you dropped a dime in a payphone. There was no CCTV closed-circuit cameras relying on every movement you made. No facial ID technology, no TMZ with hired spies around every corner, no social media, splaying wide everyone's personal life.

[00:19:11]

Now, every text message and voicemail exchange is retrievable. You think delete search history actually does that? Ha ha, your naivete is so cute. Back in my day, you wrote a fake name in the motel guest book. The board clerk said you're in Room 9, Dr. Mcgillicuddy, and you went on your merry way. Now, there'd be an unblinking ring camera above the door ratting on you. It isn't just relationship cheats who have it tough these days. How the heck do criminals get away with anything? Snatch somebody's purse on a city street and see how fast the cop shout out closed circuit images of you in the act all across social media with close-ups, nine different angles, and slow motion. You think that old-timey ski mask works? There's technology to unmask you now. The day is coming when we will all have a computer chip in our nogon, allowing the law to trace and catalog our every step. The cell phone in your pocket is doing the same thing today, bugling your wearabouts 24/7. Modern-day debauchers and lotharios have only two choices. You either give up your cheating ways or you hopelessly bemoan technology and understand that today, a smartphone would be pinging your exact location in that dark corner booth as you swig your third Manhattan.

[00:20:24]

I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day. Wonderful.

[00:20:29]

Encore.

[00:20:30]

The No Tell Motel. Is that a Greg Cody original? Or is that- That's on T-shirts beginning today in the Greg Cody merch store.

[00:20:39]

See, it's all interconnected. No, the No Tell Motel is a known entity.

[00:20:45]

Yeah, that's- That's a thing that people from your day, the adulterous people from your day would talk about. The other thing there- Allegedly.

[00:20:51]

Because they don't tell.

[00:20:52]

It's a motor lodge. The motor lodge with the shuffleboard cord out front.

[00:20:57]

Do you guys know what was most back in my day about that entire thing because I don't think he caught that. I did not realize. Bugal.

[00:21:04]

All right, this is the word bugle. I've never heard the word bugle used besides describing jeans.

[00:21:09]

Thank you.

[00:21:10]

A bugle boy.

[00:21:10]

Greg Cody, remembering a time where there was a payphone that you put 10 cents into? Yes, that's true. I'm not familiar with that payphone. Dan. That payphone, I did not know it existed in this country, a payphone that took merely 10 cents.

[00:21:27]

I remember when you could put a dime in a payphone.

[00:21:30]

That's right. And if you were making a long distance call, the operator would interrupt the call to tell you you had to deposit more money.

[00:21:37]

I remember Carrad Top had a commercial call, 1-800 collect, where you didn't even need no money. You just dial 1-800 collect, and you charged the hell out of whoever you call it.

[00:21:46]

I just realized the concept of collect calls for a certain generation.

[00:21:50]

10, 10, 3, 2, 1.

[00:21:50]

Must blow. What am I collecting? What are they collecting besides money? That's it?

[00:21:55]

This is how it works, Tony. You pick up the phone. You don't have any money. You call 1-800 collect. They say, What number are you trying to reach? I'm trying to reach 5-5-5, whatever. Then they say, You say your name, and you say, Hey, this is Tony. And then the person on the other end would have to accept the charges for the call.

[00:22:13]

It's like a prison call.

[00:22:15]

That's exactly it.

[00:22:15]

But here was the trick.

[00:22:16]

Or you say, Bob had a baby Itza boy.

[00:22:18]

There you go. You just say, What's your name? And you just say, and then you just hang up.

[00:22:24]

Then somebody else would be on another pay phone somewhere?

[00:22:26]

No. You'd be calling someone's house.

[00:22:28]

House, okay. How'd you come pick me up for school?

[00:22:30]

Yep, there you go.

[00:22:31]

Can you guys find for me that carrot top commercial? Let's just play it unwatched, unedited. Just play as fast as you can the entirety of that carrot top commercial so we can see what Amine is talking about.

[00:22:43]

It's the 1,800. Call ATT.

[00:22:44]

Young carrot top. Oh, my God. Look at the life in his face.

[00:22:48]

He's an angel of the day. That's not true.

[00:22:50]

You guys thought he was on a bender in Las Vegas. This is before he hit the gym.

[00:22:54]

In confidence.

[00:22:56]

That didn't tell him. In confidence.

[00:22:59]

Who wasn't, by the way.

[00:23:00]

What happened with Caleb Williams?

[00:23:03]

The internet is... He was at a women's tournament game, and he flashed his painted nails and his phone case, and people are saying it appears like he's wearing lipstick, and the internet's having a go at him. The first mention is, Man, Colin Cower is about to F this guy up tomorrow.

[00:23:24]

Salute to Caleb. I'm proud of you. You know what I mean? I like it. It's like a Russell Brand type motif. Look at him. He's living his life. Salute to your young brother.

[00:23:34]

Russell Brand, huh?

[00:23:36]

I'm going to just say this right now. That's Look at Me, Louis behavior. I'm going on a women's game. What should I wear? Lipstick and pink nails, of course, and a pink phone case. Look at me, Louis.

[00:23:50]

That's Monty Williams, the original Look at me, Louis. You think that's Monty Williams behavior?

[00:23:55]

That's solidarity.

[00:23:57]

Don Levatard.

[00:23:58]

You got to know I'm a big Columbo guy. Salute to that boy.

[00:24:02]

Okay, I don't think that's proof. I don't think that's proof. I think that could be a lie. I don't think that- He said, Salute. I don't think that is evidence. Salute to that boy. It suggests camouflage. It suggests that Juju has no idea what we're talking about, and now he's just googling it. Stugatz.

[00:24:22]

I'm not googling it. My grandmama stayed in the country. I watched the Braves. I watched Columbo. I watched Matlock. I watched Andy Griffin. You, sir, if you go to the pin of the box, damn. You didn't take your ass to the pin of the box.

[00:24:34]

You tell him, Juju.

[00:24:35]

You tell him, Juju. Back to you, Stu.

[00:24:38]

This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugatz. In real life, I love this person. What can I tell you?

[00:24:55]

What? Phony you are. Sincadny.

[00:24:58]

What a phony.

[00:24:59]

Sincadny. You notice I have my podcast logo position. Concierge. Concierge.

[00:25:07]

You are just a self-involved- Could I have that Tropicy-Chop Concierge, please? I have trouble with that word, and I never say maestro. I say it maestro. Maestro. I say it in Spanish. No, but it's in Spanish. I'm pronouncing it in Spanish.

[00:25:24]

Yeah, you also pronounce the government entity that puts things in outer space after a city in the Bahamas.

[00:25:29]

That is That's true. Amin has left mid-segment. I don't know where he's running off to.

[00:25:34]

That looked like the walk of...

[00:25:37]

He had to go to the bathroom.

[00:25:38]

I'll let you know. I'm going to chat with him. I'll let you know what happened.

[00:25:40]

We will get back. Did he eat food that was sharp? You guys have That's sharp.

[00:25:45]

He took the under on his own.

[00:25:46]

That's one way to put it. Man, this food is sharp.

[00:25:50]

Did he Penguin walk out of here? Was it too flavorful, the food that he had?

[00:25:54]

His hair looks small.

[00:25:56]

Dancing swords, as some would say. Thank you, Billy.

[00:25:58]

Thank Why are you taking credit for dancing swords? He invented that.

[00:26:02]

I invented dancing swords. Yeah, he invented it. Yeah.

[00:26:05]

Why don't you go ahead and tell people what dancing swords are? And you didn't invent it. You're claiming that you invented the phrase dancing swords?

[00:26:13]

Yeah, in the context of bowel movements.

[00:26:17]

You can't believe that you've invented it. Juju's got it.

[00:26:21]

He might be going to take a QK.

[00:26:23]

Exactly. Another one I did.

[00:26:24]

I mean, he's not doing a magic trick.

[00:26:26]

What's happening here? That was a super QK.

[00:26:29]

All right. I Christine, why did you have to leave? And while we're waiting for you, explain what dancing swords are, Greg Cody. You claimed to have invented this. This is ridiculous.

[00:26:38]

I invented dancing swords in the context of bowel movements. What happens is when your innards are gurgling to the point where you know something's about to come out like a jet stream and you got to sit down and do it on the Ring of Honor.

[00:26:51]

When you're walking up a ladder and you feel something splattered.

[00:26:53]

Yeah, thank you.

[00:26:54]

Or the Parley Unders are what you're trying to hit. Right.

[00:26:57]

Those are dancing swords.

[00:26:59]

Is that what happened to me, or did you just leave because you didn't know we were on the air?

[00:27:02]

I left because we didn't know we were on the air.

[00:27:04]

Okay. Why did Juju leave? Dancing swords? I don't know. He's back. Okay, very good. Let's continue on with the show because-March Sadness. We're going to get to March this in a second, but you guys have been promising me that Greeny had an awful basketball take and no one shared it with me. In fact, one of you was claiming it's the worst take in the history of basketball takes. I thought maybe with a mean here, we can get some commentary that would explain stuff better than we can explain it.

[00:27:31]

Mike Greenberg, because I guess he was paying attention to the NCAA tournament because Northwestern was playing in it, had the take that if Yukon, University of Connecticut, was playing in the NBA's Eastern Conference, they would make the playoffs.

[00:27:48]

Oh, my God. Get him out of here. Some of this stuff should be... You got to be accountable for some of these takes, brother. You be saying this stuff into microphones in front of millions, the whole world. You can't get away with some of this Victor Wemba Niama has 15 wins.

[00:28:02]

Just so you know.

[00:28:05]

Yeah, that's across all sports. I remember back when Alabama was a big thing in college football, we were like, Alabama could beat the Cleveland Browns. Are you kidding me?

[00:28:14]

I don't know what happened to your microphone, but the Pistons and the Wizards would trounce Yukon routinely, often, almost every time.

[00:28:21]

Jordan Pooh would have 75 points. Absolutely. Jordan Pooh would light them up.

[00:28:29]

Right. I I don't even think that the Yukon girls would put themselves in that position. You shouldn't speak for these women. Don't say stuff like this into a microphone, Mr. Professional Journalist.

[00:28:39]

Is that done? You guys are done dragging poor Greenie?

[00:28:42]

It was just an awful take because Northwestern got dominated by Yukon, so clearly this team should make the NBA playoffs.

[00:28:48]

I think the playoffs is wild.

[00:28:50]

That's wild. How many games does Yukon win? Put a number on it. I mean, how many games? If Yukon plays an entire NBA season-What are the Pissies have? 12? No, they wouldn't win 12 games.

[00:29:00]

They wouldn't win zero games. It was neither here nor there.

[00:29:02]

They'd win like two because there'd be just a night where nobody played and everybody was-Pends if they're playing the Raptors and someone has the under.

[00:29:09]

Exactly. Jontay is on the court. Jontay.

[00:29:11]

But the point spread would be what? 15, 17 points, right?

[00:29:14]

I don't think your microphone works in any way.

[00:29:16]

Yeah, I don't know.

[00:29:17]

I'm leaning into a microphone. It's not on.

[00:29:19]

Put it right up to your mouth. I don't know.

[00:29:20]

Put it right up to your mouth.

[00:29:22]

Greg, for a month now, we've been telling you the microphone's in the wrong place. You're not putting it in.

[00:29:26]

My microphone is right here.

[00:29:26]

Wow, look how much better it sounds. It's crazy.

[00:29:28]

I've been screaming into a mic here. Greg, for a month. Ramshackle operation here. Mike is screaming. Get better mics. He's so mighty. Other than Mike Ryan, you got no working mics in here.

[00:29:39]

Fuentes outside soon.

[00:29:40]

Fuentes, nice.

[00:29:41]

Well, not counting Mike. I meant in the room. I meant in the immediate room.

[00:29:45]

That thing.

[00:29:46]

Exactly. Thank you. That got to thing. You should talk to your wife. Got to say it a little quicker. That got to thing.

[00:29:51]

That got to thing.

[00:29:51]

Exactly. Come on, Imogen. Juju, quick learner.

[00:29:57]

But he should not be allowed to say things like this. He's a good host and stuff, and he has passion. He shouldn't be allowed.

[00:30:03]

You're taking away his freedom of speech. He should go to jail.

[00:30:06]

Yeah, at least an hour. That's a dumb one.

[00:30:09]

You think he should be suspended?

[00:30:11]

That means he's made a lot of money in his career. That's just a very dumb thing to say.

[00:30:15]

I want to follow Juju's thread. He should go to jail for an hour.

[00:30:17]

Yeah, at least, bro.

[00:30:19]

Like, actual jail for one hour.

[00:30:21]

What jail are we talking about here? Because I would love... Green-lit. Green-lit.

[00:30:27]

No pun intended.

[00:30:28]

We know it's white collar.

[00:30:30]

We know it's tennis-ish. I don't know anything. This is just my opinion. But the sauna in here is not quite hot enough.

[00:30:36]

I just want him walking down the court or holding his sheets, please.

[00:30:40]

It's a literal island. I didn't know it was a real island.

[00:30:43]

Just to be clear, You guys think that Mike Greenberg, and I'm here for this, and in fact, you know what? I'm going to call for it publicly. I would pay a great amount of money for us to imprison Mike Greenberg for one hour for that take. I would $500,000 to a prison. Jesus. You know what?

[00:31:04]

How about you do this? You give me the money. I'll go figure out what the schematics are on that. Frame him for murder. Right. Then we'll go back to you. I'll let you know.

[00:31:11]

It can't be murder. He's only got to go to prison for one hour.

[00:31:14]

One liquid hour.

[00:31:16]

He knows better than anybody that he would be a vending machine for sex in prison. He knows better than anybody.

[00:31:21]

Who amongst us?

[00:31:23]

No. Who amongst us? Fair enough, but him more than most.

[00:31:27]

He does appear to be a mark.

[00:31:29]

Him more than most.

[00:31:30]

In an hour?

[00:31:31]

In an hour. What if in an hour, he comes out as the man in prison?

[00:31:36]

His hair breaks. He's just running in. Tattoons. Takes out the big sign in the yard. Takes out the goleck of the yard.

[00:31:43]

He's just running the joint.

[00:31:46]

Like Carlton when he spent the afternoon in MacArthur Park. He's got guards bringing him phones.

[00:31:53]

Like Will Farrell when he had a razor blade on his cheek.

[00:31:56]

They open the cell for him. He just closes the door.

[00:31:59]

He's like, No. He would tell us that himself. If we were interviewing him right now, he would say, I would do very poorly in jail.

[00:32:07]

No, I think he'd be institutionalized real quick. Like Billy said, I can't leave. This is my life now. I don't even remember what the outside's like.

[00:32:14]

I think he shows up and he picks a fight with the biggest, meanest, toughest dude in the yard.

[00:32:18]

He turned into a Muslim in jail. Got a coupe on? See, what happened was, brothers, it was a conspiracy, Aaron Rodgers hurt his Achilles.

[00:32:29]

It It is a pretty hot take. Why is he doing that? Does he believe that?

[00:32:34]

Because Northwestern lost to Yukon.

[00:32:36]

That is why he's doing it. He's covered sports for too long for him to believe. I don't even know what he's doing. Is he being gratuitously... He's been covering sports for a long time.

[00:32:43]

I genuinely think he believes this because he followed Northwestern for two games. He saw Yukon look very good.

[00:32:49]

You know how it is. You get caught up in the air when you're on the mic, you say something you regret, you got to keep going with it. It is what it is. It happens to the best of us.

[00:32:55]

Is he trying to get his daughter or one of his daughter's cousins into Yukon, maybe? With a nice take.

[00:33:02]

I mean, I want to get to March sadness, but the Celtics last night lost in the only way that you can lose for us to have any questions about the Celtics in the playoff.

[00:33:16]

To an Atlanta Hawks team that I don't think many people would find to be daunting or even capable of a 30-point comeback against anybody, let alone the best team.

[00:33:24]

But it's a regular season game. Who cares? Why does it matter? It only matters one team in the league. Honest to God, that game only matters because of the questions we're asking about that team.

[00:33:33]

If that happened to the Nuggets, we wouldn't say anything. If it happened to the Thunder, we wouldn't say anything. For them, and this is where I go back to what I said last time I was on the show, which is, Joe Mizzula, you can do all this cute shit, contesting people's jump shots and all that. When you're winning, the moment you're not, all of that, we start saying, Well, I don't know if I can trust what I'm seeing. And that's the problem. But ultimately, they know that they aren't going to answer to answer those questions in March or early April. Those answers come once the play all start.

[00:34:06]

Billy, we're going to get to March's sadness in a second. But they said they found for me a means commercial for his... I don't know if you saw everything that happened here, Greg. But Amin had a very embarrassing viral moment on the Internet, and he really owned it and turned it around in his favor. And I'm helping people. With this bit of content, he also got a law degree in the last couple of weeks.

[00:34:31]

Every year, thousands of lowlights are taken out of context and disseminated across social media. It's called viral decontextualization, and it afflates thousands of former NBA players and weekend warriors alike. Hi, I'm Amine Elhassen, and I was once a victim of viral decontextualization. Let me help you fight back. If you or a loved one have suffered a viral video of a basketball play that is not representative of your playing ability, contact the law offices of Amine Elhassen right now.

[00:35:04]

If you've suffered from a viral video of a basketball play that is not representative of your playing ability, call the Law Offices of Amine Elhassen right now.

[00:35:14]

He is 100% a real lawyer.

[00:35:16]

Don't let viral decontextualization ruin your life. Call a meme and get your reputation clean. What's this? Pass me the rock.

[00:35:25]

Hey, it's you that guy from the internet?

[00:35:27]

Yeah, but I'm not who my video said I am. No, no, no.

[00:35:39]

No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no.

[00:35:42]

No, no, no, no, no, Don't wait. Stop viral decontextualization. Call 1-800-Oggball or visit www. Townherentis. Com and have a mean fight for you. I mean, what are you making me read?

[00:35:59]

There are I have a thousand things I like about that as video. That's great. Never mind audio. But Charlotte stole it from Amine with the way that she said lawyer and what she did at the end because Amine tried to steal that video. And the video was great. What they did on the video side, really funny. That felt like a real commercial.

[00:36:18]

Yeah, the tinkling piano was a maestro touch.

[00:36:22]

The Thief of Joy is comparison, Dan. Everybody in that involved Bravo. To my brother, two words, ass off. Bravo, bro.

[00:36:33]

That's the first time Juju has ever given me that award. Really? He always says I'm ass on any time I'm doing any of these things.

[00:36:39]

First time? How many times have you failed to get Duju's? Thousands. That's the first one?

[00:36:43]

The first Ass Off I've ever got one.

[00:36:45]

You can't get him away.

[00:36:46]

What's your favorite part? You turning around to the camera at the beginning for no good reason?

[00:36:51]

Shout out to Antonio, man. That was his idea. He told me, just turn this way and then turn back from this.

[00:36:56]

You're welcome. I really can't shake Muslim Greeny. As soon as it was mentioned with the glasses and all that.

[00:37:01]

Bean pie, my brother. I like the idea.

[00:37:07]

I didn't talk to anybody, and I don't know anything.

[00:37:15]

Muslim Greenie in prison is what we've done.

[00:37:18]

And all this happens inside of 14 minutes.

[00:37:23]

Damian Woody landed on us.

[00:37:28]

For Bridget Christ, the road to love was not so straightforward. Bridgie, I forbid you for marrying that spendthrift-yield Miles car.

[00:37:35]

What the devil is that? I'm setting up an M50 video account on my mobile cellular telephone, thus procuring a discount on the M50 highway tow path.

[00:37:45]

Very prudent, Mr. Carr. It seems I've misjudged you. Eflow presents accounts and accountability.
