You're.

Listening to.

Draftkings Network. I've got a bit of a problem on my hands, and it's not just that it's a Greg Cody Tuesday.

I thought that was the problem.

Yes, Greg, the chemical ingredients of Greg Cody, who comes in frazzled in late and interested in nothing but selling his new book. He has no other interest today. Usually, it's just his podcast. As he physically, right before we... Not even before we go on television, as we're on the broadcast, he is wiping the sleep from his eyes, something he could have done before we started. But the problem that I have on Tuesday, Stugart, is generally speaking, as a show, we dominate the sports market in narcissism. We've got so many people at microphones, so many narcissists at microphones. And in Lucy, Jeremy and Roy, and Cody today, we have four people who haven't been able to give any opinions at microphones about college football. And today, they have not been allowed to do so yet. Unfortunately, we covered all this terrain yesterday, and somehow Stephen A. Smith took the best of all the takes. We don't have to have any more takes. The best take there is that if everything were exactly the same and Deion Sanders was the coach at FSU, FSU would be in that playoff.

That's why Stephen A. Is the goat.

But we have other people who wish to speak on such matters. Lucy is the only one among us who was at the actualactual game in bad seats at a terrible tailgate.

She did speak. I mean, you must not listen to God bless football on Max, but she did speak yesterday about the selection.

Oh, it's not. It's on DraftKings Network and on YouTube. That's unfortunate.

Com/levator to- All right. Maybe one day. We were the Spotify. We were the... Well, you can't tell whether it's on Spotify or not because the numbers are. We were.

Fixing that, and you should probably stop doing that, please.

Lucy, although your thoughts on God-blessed football are the place where people can get your thoughts first, before we play what it is that you bring us from an SEC tailgate that was disappointing to you, yes?

Yeah, it was the worst tailgate we've been to the whole year. I don't think it has anything to do with Alabama fans or Georgia fans. I think it's just straight up Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the way that Atlanta is set up. It was just not built for tailgating. It was not built for the SEC. It was a bummer.

I have not yet given my top four, although I did vote for the Heisman yesterday.

Really? Who did you vote for?

I was punner?

Isn't it embarked? You get in trouble if.

You reveal. Oh, gosh, Lucy, I wish you had been here yesterday because I would have put I was punter. I would have given him a vote. There's only one joke on my ballot, and that's not the joke. Well, there's only one joke at the top of my ballot. And that joke is not one I made, but I wish- It's.

Where it says name.

I wish I had put I was punter as one of my Heisman- It would have been great. -heisman finals.

Missed opportunity. He had a weekend. He had a weekend. I mean, every weekend is a weekend for him, right? He's a star.

I'm going to miss him so much.

I said this yesterday, and I will say it again. I cannot begin to tell you how difficult it is and easy it is to bet the team total under on IA under six and a half. Under IA will not score seven points. They will not get two field goals and a safety. The best they're going to do is to field goals. I can't tell you how hard that is to bet, and yet how often that bet cashes. I think there.

Were some stat that came out that if you had bet like a hundred dollars on the Iowa under the Purdue game and rolled it over, you had like $23,000.

Jesus.

They've done it 11 straight times. They've gone under 11 straight times on that. But Greg Cody is here, and his book is a bona fide bestseller, The Pride of a Lion with Ron McGill. And now we're in the wheelhouse of Greg Cody. Look at the smile that emerges over his face there, because it's the only reason.

He's here. I mean, best seller. Give the man some credit.

Bs.

Best seller.

Do you have a back in my day today?

I actually don't know. I put that on the show top because I guess you didn't get that far down. It's the holidays.

Yeah, the holidays. I mean, Book Release Day, right?

Yeah, it is. It's a.

National holiday. Isn't the holidays already? Oh, yeah. December fifth.

You didn't have Thanksgiving. Isn't that a holiday?

There's a nice little wide lane in between the holidays where I feel like we can.

Get one. Yeah, the holidays begin with Halloween. They accelerate with Thanksgiving, and then they go into overdrive once all the holiday lights are up and everybody's buying the pride of a lion as a gift. I mean, we're into high gear now.

So if the malls are decorated for the holiday season, there will never be a back in my day.

Well, there's an exception to every rule, but right now we plan to come back with a vengeance in January with a brand new back in my day.

That's a month from now.

That's terrible. But Martin Luther King Day.

You're punting on an.

Entire month?

That.

Is bad form. I'm punting like the Iowa punter.

You know what's funniest about that? Just last week, we've had conversations, him and I, because the business of this is infuriating and soul-crushing for me. But for a couple of years now, Greg Cody has been complaining quietly, or I shouldn't say complaining because he hasn't volunteered much of this, but reminding me that he wasn't being paid. And most recently, I had to ask him, Hey, did we get that all sorted out? And he's like, Yeah, a lot more than I expected. And what's the reward? No back in my day.

He wrote a book, though.

Yeah, I mean, a man can only do so much.

That we published for him.

Oh, you did? You own mango? I didn't realize that. I'm not familiar with the business workings of Meadowlark. Congratulations for buying mango publishing.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I don't often get congratulations for all the things that we own.

So you get a percentage of sales of Greg's book?

We do because we all own this company. Very nice.

Well, thank you, Greg.

What did I do?

Well, you wrote the book. I mean, we'll take you write in a book that goes directly into my pockets over you writing a back of my day.

There you go. See, that's the man. Mike gets it. He gets it.

I do, Greg.

Thank you. You get nothing extra from back in my day. Apparently, you do get something extra from The Pride of the Lawyer.

I was excited to learn that. Okay, I know. Let's see exactly where this book is ranked.

I am happy to have Greg Cody here because I will have to wait for Jeremy and Lucy and Roy's new College football takes. I don't want any of Greg Cody's College football takes. What I do want, though, is Greg Cody's maximum homeness around everything that's happening with the Miami Dolphins. I want to put up.

For - Big loss for the Jacks last night.

Yes, yes. Now, even... That's crazy, all right? I woke up this morning because I did not watch that game to find out that a four-team teaser that I had with Jacksonville+2 that couldn't lose last night. Couldn't lose.

Last night. Unless you.

Took it. Jacksonville+2 cannot lose unless football happens to the Jags at the top of the conference and not only happens to Gots, but this part is fascinating, and the injuries and the pain in that sport have been normalized. But now four of the top seven playoff teams in the AFC are going to play this week if Trevor Lawrence doesn't play with their backup quarterback. This is what you head into the playoffs with. You can have the top seed, and if Tua gets hurt between now and then, you're going to be bleeped. The season is going to go to hell. So all you're doing here is trying to make sure that Tua stays healthy because now Trevor Lawrence is limping off the field and you don't know how long.

He's out for. No, they'll just have a committee put Justin Herbert in.

I'm with the idea of just putting a committee in charge of more things and having sports be more about committees instead of less.

Here's the thing about committees. They don't know shit either. If you would have asked the committee, Who wins Monday Night Football last night? They're all saying Jacksonville. That's what's the beauty of all of this stuff. No one had Cordell-Jones lifting a national championship. You're right.

Chris and I were discussing yesterday, we'd like a committee to determine who wins the NFC South.

Not a joke.

Put it on the pole, please, at Levitard show. Should we have a committee to decide who wins the NFC South? And furthermore, second question, should that committee be allowed to pick a team from another division to win the NFC South?

The answer is nobody. Nobody should win from the NFC South. There's two divisions in football that are so bad, they should not have a playoff team. They should restructure the entire division format and reward teams with better records. I'm not saying, as a wild example, if you go 13 and a 0 in college football, it automatically means you should be in the CFP. But in the NFL, you can't have a 500 team in the playoffs when you're leaving out teams with much better records.

I just looked at the standings and could not believe that the Atlanta Falcons are in first place. The Atlanta Falcons are going to be a playoff team. What a disaster. What's the second division, Dad? The NFC South and which one?

I believe the AFC South. I don't have it in front of me.

Well, the Jacks are in four. The Colts are seven to five. They have the tech teams. They might.

Have three.

Playoff teams. They've got three teams.

Over 500. I feel like you got caught up in the air there with two teams. Afc South's been really bad for a long time. You can make the argument the AFC East is worse than the AFC South.

Oh, really? The Dolphins were like a word.

I'm just saying.

Greg, that's pretty terrible, though, as our football expert, though, that you don't remember the name of the division, that you don't know who's in it, that you don't remember what you're.

Talking about a sentence ago. Okay, I made a mistake. I'm a human. Particularly on Book Release Day, it's a national holiday for me. Big day. It only happens once a lifetime, Dan. I'm a little excited. Well, Finns.

In 50. Yeah. So it's happened twice.

Don't get me started on that.

It's your second book.

What do you mean? It was the first one he knows that's going to sell. Wait a minute. But Finsey, what are you rolling your eyes?

Finns in 50. We are thrilled to have you today because you are the definitive historian and chronicler of local Miami Dolphins lore. You and Dave Hyde are elbowing Alan Pippar. And who's the other guy you're elbowing? Alan Pippard. Trying to get out of the way. Who's that? Tom Curtis. Tom Curtis. There are four of you that are- Harvey Green. To be Dolphin's historian. You're the only one who has written Finns at 50, and you're rolling your eyes at your other book.

Well, Finns at 50, I don't think there was no Metalark then. I don't think Dan Levitard owned a publishing company at that time because the book was published by Miami Herald Publishing, who did no promotion for the book. Yes, and I'm calling out my own newspaper. Fins at 50 came out and just sat there because the Miami Herald did not get behind that book and did not promote it in the least.

Calling them out on release day is.

A choice. Well, but we're seeing the opposite now. Right. This book is being well-promoted by this show, by mango, by everyone involved. I wish Fins at 50 had been.

Don Libertard. Greg Cody of the Miami Herald is writing an article, and I'm reading in it. Mass Miami, Sold Out. Miami Artists, Miami Culture. And I'm reading Mass Miami is Sold Out. And I'm reading about Digital Podcast Network, and I'm reading about us. And I'm like, This is our dreams coming true. Stugats. A thousand people come out, and we see the shipping container, and they're on stage and they're like rock stars. You and me both had tears in our eyes. We're like mom and dad of sentiment, and it's hard to get you to sentiment, man.

That was a very emotional moment for us to see those guys. I'm telling you guys, you were on stage. Dan and I were both crying. Are you guys aware of this?

Crying. Like crocodile tears. We believe Dan was crying. No, crocodile tears are fakes.

Crocodile tears are fakes. I thought.

They meant big.

This is the Dan Lebertar Show with the Stugats.

Is there any profit that can be gathered for the shipping container in us right now, resuscitating, finns at 50 with whatever sales are after today?

Congratulations are in order because according to Barnes and Noble, your book is the number one best seller in biology of cats, lions, and tigers.

That a boy.

I didn't know there were so many obscure categories. I've seen it number one in four or five different categories, but they're all like sub-sub categories.

Don't apologize. They're making you- That's okay. Number one is number one, Greg. Okay, yeah, you're right.

But those profits from- It's not number one if there are 40 number ones, though. Number one is not number one if.

They're 40. Your book is available at Target.

The extra profits that we're going to get from that- The trucks. -fins at 50, that's going to go right back up. Are we going to get those trickle down, like the merch store?

I'm glad you asked, actually, because I've got more merch store complaints today, and they're directed toward Pablo Torre.

What happened?

I mean, he's next to Samson in New York, and so there's an avalanche of Pablo Torre merch on our site. There was more merch for Pablo Torre than there was for our people. It was weird. It's just because he's got an army of assassins up there just marching around finding out how to make maximum money.

They're figuring stuff out, Dan.

Do we have someone looking over David doing all this?

No. The store closed for six months because I didn't have anyone like David to.

Look over it. It's an.

Interesting choice to put David Samson in charge of anything business and expect it to be ethical.

I understand. But Dan, he trusts David Samson. David Samson loves Dan, I think. With business.

It's not that I trust David Samson. He does love me and loathe as I am to admit it, I also love him. However, we need help with business because Stugat. Many of the problems that you and I have had over the last two years come specifically because you and I can't be in charge of the money. Other people are in charge of the money. And when other people are in charge of the money, Stugat gets mad that he's not in charge of the money.

I like to have the money in my own pocket. You know what I'm saying? You deserve to.

Thank.

You. How do you think David did with his first crack at it?

I genuinely believe that David loves you, by the way, Dan. I just think he loves money more.

And.

Pablo. Yeah, well, this was your first experience with David doing something like this. How did it go for you?

I would say generally, when any corporate gets involved, the soul of that thing dies. It doesn't matter whether it's corporate at Apple or ESPN or here, but some corporate is required because you cannot have creative people running anything because look at what happened to United Artists. You unite the artists and they go bankrupt because you need people who can handle money and know how to manage money so that the creatives aren't fighting over all the money. So it went terribly.

Okay.

Nothing personal is the name of David Samson's podcast.

There's still- Why are you promoting it?

Because all week we will have with a discount code on our merch site if you use SamsonSucks— I've been doing this a while, so guys, you can trust me, it'll lead to places— SamsonSucks20 is the code that you use if you want a 20% discount on everything that's at the store. But I want the Homer opinion of Greg Cody on what is happening right now with the Miami Dolphins, with the understanding, again, because this part, it really has been normalized. I'm watching the game. My wife and I have grown to hate Sundays because of how shitty I feel at the end of Sundays, because I can't go be with my wife, because I have to be worried about whether the Titans Puntor had.

Two kicks blocked. Me and Abby love Sundays. Well, I love Sundays. You're not doing Sundays, right? I mean, you'll get there, Dave.

Thank you. But you are watching football and smoking marijuana all Sunday. I would like to be with, you've said it.

Marijuana.

I mean, I'm eating marijuana.

You've said you use a bang on Sundays. I'm just using your words. I don't know what your smoking.

Habits are. It starts with a gummy. The bang really just brings it home.

That's all. Yeah, it does. He would still use bang.

So that's what he's doing on Sunday. But I want you to imagine this, because my wife stays away from the tell. I really don't want to be at a point in my life where I have to care about these things this way because we've been doing this a long time, and I don't want to care about whether that was a catch for the Arizona Cardinals tight end or not. The announcements are telling me, the three of them are telling me it is a catch, and then they rule on the field it's not a catch. That's what I'm watching as what's being normalized is Stugatz, and I don't know if this weekend was worse than most or whether I just noticed it more. The phrase I heard more than any other during the weekend was Blue medical tent. That's what I heard again and again and again. And so my wife, imagine this through the eyes, through the prism of somebody who doesn't have any understanding of what's happening, where every other word is something about a concussion or someone's limping off the field or stuff. And she's looking at me and she's like, Does everybody watch it this way where it's five or six hours in a row?

I'm like, No, when they're in London, it's 12 hours in a row the way that people watch this. She's asking, What else is like that? I'm like, Nothing? Nothing in the world? Nothing in the world is like that, where people sit in front of their television all day, and it's a religious experience, and the 96 of the top 100 shows are football shows. But this was the part that really blew her mind. Soccer. Okay, yes, soccer. Fair enough. Football of another kind. This is the part that really blew her mind. I'm like, Do you understand that in the three hours that I'm watching of this window, there's only in each game, about 10-11 minutes of actual action? Everything else is standing around. And she looks at me sideways. Like, What? I'm like, Yeah, most of the game, two hours and 50 minutes of the game are not plays being run. It's not people actually moving. Right.

That's why Red Zone was invented, essentially.

Well, that's why it's crack, and that's why hockey and basketball are about to follow here. Hockey and basketball are going to try and… What they have to do to get young people in the stimulus age is you have to just swamp them with action. It can't be one game anymore. All of this must change. In fact, all of these sports have been way behind it. Baseball just figured some of it out, and they're like, Okay, if we speed all of this up, but all of them are going to have to hit us with more and more action in order to do… That's how football became king sport because the action is so furious everywhere.

And-the 11 minutes of it.

The 11 minutes of it, that's correct. But you're putting it when a lot of people aren't working and you're making the game so that it's just Saturday and Sunday and people have time to not sit in their unhappiness at work or whatever it is, the problems with their spouse, and they can just watch the television for nine hours and escape and that.

I've had to spend so much time on social media for my job that I've been trying recently to disconnect from social media a bit when I'm not getting paid to be there. I tried to watch a Thursday Night Football game a few weeks ago without Twitter and was so bored. There's so much time between plays. I cannot watch a game that doesn't have some other something going on, which is why Red Zone is the only way to watch NFL Sundays. What's wrong with you guys? Just enjoy a playoff. Take a deep breath. -yeah. -take a sigh. Just close your eyes.

For a minute. -make it in game beds. -i wish I could. I mean, do something.

Was it Seahawks Cowboys? Because that game was very exciting. Not that one.

I was at.

Pacer Seat that night.

The one before that.

One game is hard now. I think we've all changed our habits enough that people are a bit drunk on stimulus.

What happened to football? The game itself just being enough? Just being enough to entertain you. That you need to be on social media gaging everyone's reaction to every single thing that's happening during said game? Yes. Just sit down, like Chris said, and watch.

The game. Stugat, you are coming from a different time as I am on all of this stuff. So Leslie-Anne Wade has put on Twitter. I don't expect many to read this, but if you are forward thinking in the sports media or PR business, it is thought-provoking. How Gen Z is killing sports media as we know it. And Dan Shaunase, the old-time Boston Globe sports writer who longs for the same time that you do, Stugart, to the time when he was in charge and he was the media, says, It's over. Dan Shaunase says, It's over, has been for a while. Just grateful we got to do it when there were actual smart, thoughtful fans/readers. Now this is old people telling young people, You're not smart because you're changing everything. And this is what happens to the old person. Someone climbs into his mentions with Good riddance, Dan. Maybe on your way out the door, you can drive down to New York and pick up that other curudge in Phil Mushnik at the post, and you can sit in the rocking chairs and complain about how much better everything used to be 30 years ago back when you mattered.

I could understand the lament if I felt full confidence that the generation that has all the management positions and is making all the decisions to appeal to these consumers had exhausted every effort to appeal to them and to push creative limits. But to just blame the consumer and disassociate yourself with responsibility when it happened on your watch, I mean, aren't these the legacy media members that are sometimes writing think pieces to fire coaches because something bad happened on their watch? To just put it on the consumers is a bit lazy.

There's all sorts of ways to make sports entertaining after the game has happened, too. I think the issue is that you don't have as many Gen Z people watching these games in live moments, like watching the full game or watching anything like that. But if you go on TikTok and you see some of the creators who are creating storylines after the fact, who are going through and breaking down something that's happened, whether it's a couple of plays from a game or the narrative surrounding a player like Tyrese Halliburton right now, having the moment that he's having, you'll see all sorts of really cool ways of storytelling afterward that they are interacting with. The thing is that the people in charge haven't figured out how to make money.

Off of that yet. Dan, that's unfair. I would like to call out the person who sent that to Dan, Sean, to see he'll always be relevant. I mean, that guy could fire up an 85 Celtic book, whatever he wants, with a different angle, and it's a bestseller, guaranteed. He just did it. He just did it like three months ago. And if he wants to do it again, he will, and it will sell out.

I have to be awed by the amount of media, sports media things the Boston area has birthed because the Boston area cares about sports in an unreasonable way. And I remember 15 years ago talking to you and saying, Do you realize that our show would never work? Think in Boston? They care too much about their sports in a way that's unreasonable, that has identity in it. And if we're sitting around talking about stupidities like the Art Basel traffic, that's going to make me crazy over the next few weeks, there's no time for that in Boston where they want to talk about somebody's bun. But let's get to the reason that we've got the most magical historian and Homer here, and let's get all his excited thoughts on the Miami Dolphins.

Well, I wrote-.

This is a new and unapproved Dan Levitard show with the Stugars, gambled on by Draft Kins. Dan Levitard. Many of you, by the way, are writing in and you're saying, Dan, quit being so mean to co-hosts that you always deem incompetent. That's the formula, man. Me being mean to the co-host is what allows Stugats to take a very wealthy vacation right now. Stugatz. It's a winning position for everyone but me. Have you guys not figured this out yet? That's the whole thing, is me being a rotten straight man as everyone else gets to be incompetent, then I yell at them for being incompetent. And here's the miracle of it, and it's the magic elixir, bad, which is the only thing Greg Cody can be, becomes good and lovable. It's because standing next to obnoxious, strident me makes everyone look that way.

Yeah, and the brush with death helped.

Yeah, that was planned by me. The whole thing was contrived. This is.

The Dan Levator Show with the Stugats.

I.

Don't know what to do about Pablo Torre. He is rising up the charts. It is going to his head. He is getting all the things that he wants from creativity and following his curiosities.

I mean, who put Pablo in charge? Seriously. Who did that?

Samson? He's not in charge. I don't know why you're saying he's in charge.

He's just taking.

Charge, which.

Is.

Refreshing. He is not in charge of anything, and no one put Pablo in charge of anything other than Pablo Torreys finds out, which he's been in charge of and been doing an amazing job on. But before we get to the greed and contamination that is his really ruining our merch store before -.

Oh, okay. Got it. Yeah, we're going to get to greed and contamination and how me being good is actually bad. Got it. Proceed. Yeah.

Yes, we'll get to that in just a moment. But before we do that, I want to tell Angel and whoever can hear the sound of my voice to please create some stewbongs to sell, please, on the -Interesting. -on the merch site. Just figure out how to do that, please. Now, before we get to some subject matter with you, though, Pablo, can you please explain to me why our merch site is contaminated with things for you and your calves and just all about you?

So I just want to explain how it is in the New York studio, your neighbor, your sibling up in downtown Manhattan. It's like me and David Samson are like two kids in a trench coat trying to be an adult combined because there is, as Mike alluded to, a tremendous power vacuum. And so when David Samson is like, Hey, I'm in charge of the merch store now. Fight through. I am full of phlegm, dude. I went to a holiday party on Friday, and I felt like Greg Cody for three days.

Thank you.

It's disgusting.

Are you serious?

You guys could hear that? I was hoping that would sound like a Zoom effect, but no, that's just phlegm. That's a.

Straight- That's just a fine. You said thank you through phlegm.

I did, inadvertentlyly. You can't plan that. But thank you, Pablo, for whatever you said. I took it as a compliment. You weren't even.

Listening, were you? It's always, no, not really.

You said his name is a compliment.

It's always my name.

The vibes are always complementary, even if the words are the opposite. Thank you. I appreciate it. So for me, what I try to do is when I get an assignment that's like, Hey, we have a merch store now. Can you guys create designs? I take that as a mandate from a real media company because I'm trying to form a smaller real media company inside of the Metallark Media, real larger media company. And so I have my guy, Patrick Kim, who was the creative director on Desus and Marrow, make dozens of designs because I thought that's good. And now I realize that everyone is mad because we did too much homework, I guess, is what I've discovered about working at this company. Being a real media company is bad, is my takeaway so far based on this merch store experience.

Yeah, and this is what happens when money contaminates all things that are meant to be artful and soulful.

I'm with Pablo on this one. We typically have a move where we're unorganized and we're messy, and it's nowhere near as endearing as you think it is, especially when you're in your 50s.

Yeah, but that's the company we're stuck with. That's what we are. That's what we have on 40. I can't do anything about the we're in our 50s, except I'll do it in six years when I'm in my 60s. I don't know what to do for you there.

It's usually a good default as a gag, but we're living the gimmick here.

We're doing this into.

Our 60s. We're living the gimmick.

I have the over on that. I have you guys doing this in your 80s, by.

The way. What? It's funny you should say that because he says we're living the gimmick and the way things are going, don't worry, I won't get to my 60s. We won't have tothrow up the trailer and sweat it at all. It'll be fine.

Please live, Gimmych. Please live. I have a three-year-old.

Can you please tell me, okay, before we get to some of the subject matter that I want to get to with you, Grand Theft Auto is about to be, if it's not already, the biggest video game of all time. The one that's just released with the.

Trailer that is in- It'll be released in 2025.

Bigger than Frogger, huh? Yes.

It's going to be the biggest, though. It's on track, based on the history of this game to be the biggest thing in video games ever.

All right. And the one that has been distributed, the trailer that was released, excuse me, because the game was not released. And video games, when we talk about some of this stuff, Greg, about people are now addicted to not just their phones, but to stimuli, and one football game is not enough. The thing that I thought of when my wife asked me, What else is like this where people sit in front of their television for seven straight hours? The answer is video games.

Like gaming.

Gaming is the other thing that's like football. And for Pablo to say this is going to be the biggest one ever, and the trailer was in Miami, and frankly, was so good that I thought it was Miami. I wasn't sure in certain parts of it if it was cartoonish or actually just the way.

Our city is. Well, Pablo can explain it, but they've spent... The reason why this game has been rumored to be released, I think a couple of years ago was the initial release date, but I keep pushing it back. They've mapped the entire city of Miami-M Miami. They've taken a car around town and they've mapped the entire place. I have a friend that is associated with Space Nightclub. Space is in the trailer. Every nook and cranny of space is in this game.

There is the Clevelander or the equivalent in video game Grand Theft Auto World if you're watching on the Jack Kings Network or on YouTube, the Clevelander is there.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

That's a fine.

What are.

You doing?

That's $10 in fines. What are you doing? $25.

I was not saying. $15 in fines. There it is. But to the artificial imagery that is Uncanny Valley-ish, which is to say that it's so realistic that it becomes unrealistic. There's The Clevelander. At some point, if you were watching this broadcast on the DraftKings Network on YouTube, I stuck a finger in the air when someone was twerking atop a car. This has gone viral because the butt cheeks are actually vibrating in a way that physics-wise seems incredibly realistic. So, you are not alone. Despite the fact that Dan Levitard, his video game expertise extends as far as, I believe, Ms. Pac-man, clips like this are making everybody of all ages, feel the way that Dan feels at age six years shy of 60.

Ms. Pac-man, that's a video game.

That's a video game. I got that in my game room. It's on the fritz right now. I've got to get somebody to come fix it because I'm missing it, man.

Did you just say there you go with the same vigor to Ms. Pac-man, that you did to tworking? Because I think you said, There you go twice.

It was perfect. He said there you go, right after tworking was on the screen, but to Ms. Pac-man. So it just seemed like he was saying it to.

The tworking, which was perfect. I did not do that, although I approve of tworking, but I did not compliment the reference to it. But Ms.

Pac-man is what got you excited. Yeah, it did.

A terrible ally for me to have in my addictions to Ms. Pac-man. But this video game, I can't believe how much it looks like Miami. You're talking about the physics of the jiggling and the tworking, and I'm looking at it, I'm like, Man, this is our city in almost every way. They've gotten every detail right into all of how assenine and absurd it is. And it's all here in town this month. Art Basel is here. So that entire... You could get Grand Theft Auto 6 before 2025, but just going outside anywhere in Miami this month.

Can we get… Can Angel make Greg Cody a Grand Theft Auto character? I feel like the idea that Greg Cody perhaps wearing a shirt, this is another merch star idea, by the way, a shirt that says, I approve of tworking, as he hands out a mission to you as you have to go, I don't know, kill several people in this video game, is the natural, logical conclusion of these worlds colliding.

All right, I just want to make this official because I am tired of the way that Pablo is trying to horn in on everybody's money at the merch store. So right now- I have ideas.

Right now... Okay, well, here's a good idea. It's a.

Good idea, Pablo. Well, here's a good idea.

Because it's for you. Yeah, it's out in the Greg Cody show merch store right now. We put it out there in the last 10 seconds.

I'll put it in my merch store. No, no, Pabloetory Finds Alkin Howe is also a subsidiary of Greg Cody merch. There you go. Happy to do that. We got lots of ideas. We got a whole art direction philosophy. We got a team of people who can make this stuff for you, Greg, and for me. Excellent.

Thank you. Last time I was this bored by something is when you guys couldn't stop talking about all your cameos, because whenever there's money around and you guys can make some money, everyone gets to micro- It's drying up. Yeah, it's drying up because you.

Stop doing them. No, George Santos is pumping all sorts of new money.

Into it. Really? We have to do a show with him. We have to get him to do a podcast.

It would be our best rated podcast. George Santos is the most entertaining man in America.

Yeah, let's do that. Let's sign him up. Let's get the people at mango Publishing and whatever they're doing up there in New York when they're not just fancying Pablo's whims. Let's get all these people together to do a Santos podcast. But I will right now because it's the holidays. This week, levitardaf. Com, okay? Levitardaf. Com, if you use the code, Pabloasshole20, all prices will be increased by 20 %. Wait. They will be increased, not a discount. They will be in all prices will be increased by 20 % because I don't want Pablo to have success here because he's had enough success and all of it is going to his head and it's annoying. Now, on Pablo Torreys Finds Out, what did you do with these football intelligence tests? Did you take one of these football intelligence tests?

Yeah, if you are looking for an episode in which my head is deflated, today's episode is not for you, because you may understand that there is this thing that replaced the Wonderlic. And the Wonderlic, of course, was the previous gold standard, quote-unquote, for IQ testing in the NFL. That was stopped as a mandatory part of the combine last year. What replaced it is this thing called the S2 test. And as we marveled, Dan, at how Brock Purdy is now an MVP candidate, who anywhere saw this coming? Well, Brock Purdy aced this thing called the S2 test, the new IQ test that replaced the Wonderlic. Relatedly, Bryce Young aced this test, and CJ Straud bombed it. And so it's been highly controversial. The Holy Grail in sports really is how do we know who's a good quarterback? All Scouts are trying to figure out who is good at processing, making decisions. And so the only way that I determined would be fair would be for me to take these tests myself and figure out is there anything to this? Or is this all bullshit designed to sell contracts to teams? And so that's today's episode.

The Wonderlic test always seemed ridiculous to me, and I don't remember who the player was, but I do remember the story most famous for me around the Wonderlic test is true or false. And I like tall women was the question. And whoever the player was just crossed out the T and tall instead of answering the question because they don't take some of this stuff seriously.

I don't get it.

I should say that relatedly, as the controversy around these tests build, Dan Marino got a 16 out of 50 on The Wonderlic. Right. So there are lots of guys who've done well. Alex Smith is the guest on today's show. He's a super smart guy. He got a 40 out of 50. Dan Marino got a 16. So I don't know if he's the guy who likes women with the tall crossed out, but he might fit the profile based.

On that method. Moreno failed my test as well. I do the ring test where I check your hand and see how many rings are on it. I mean, it's the best way to do it.

It is the.

Best way to do it. Yeah. If I saw a question that was, I like tall women, I would write in there, That's not a question.

Dear God.
