Dan. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stu guts podcast.

I can't believe what only these people right here going to get in person for the first time ever in a fashion that stuns me. Free drinks in Vegas.

Drinks.

That's the historic thing that we're going to do. No.

Thank you, dad. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Dan.

No, really, thank you, Dan.

I can't believe this. Billy told me. Billy told me in the cabana. And I was thrilled because I have found it so glorious to see my friend here happier than I've ever seen him on these videos as a crooner, as a Vegas act who can now say he's played Vegas musically. The singing sports writer.

How about that? How about that?

Billy tells me that we have for this live studio audience, it's not for anybody at home. You're the only ones who get this. A first time ever. A live. Back in my day.

Sorry.

Other than the grammar.

C. Yeah, but it's a Friday.

Yeah, but you know what? With the time zone change, it's like a Tuesday is a Friday.

That's not how that works.

I don't have clock casinos to disorient.

That's true.

So it's the rare Friday that feels like a Tuesday.

Correct.

Yeah, you get it.

That's why we're here.

What is the subject matter?

That's Vegas. Spoiler alert. Yeah. Right. And now. Oh, right. Back in my day, I'm going to say it point blank. The old Vegas was better. This used to be an exotic destination with a real mystique because it was the only place in America to legally bet on sports. You felt a little naughty coming here. Daring. I preferred the sad Vegas. I don't need the bellagio dancing fountains or the sphere with its immersive entertainment. Don't need the Super bowl or all the sports teams here now. Don't need the gaudy wind casino or Nadelle residency at Caesars. Or a hotel that looks like a Dorito chip or a venetian gondola. Ride. I want a ride back to the Vegas of yore. When Frank and Dean and Sammy played the smoke filled cobra room at the sands, frank under a sharp crease fedora dino with a scotch in one paw and a lid cigarette in the other. Sammy snapping his fingers even when there was no music. I want the derelict splendor of the castaways, the dunes and the Riviera. I want an all you can eat buffet for 395 diverticulitis be damned. My own trio, the hehaw three.

We played Vegas concurrent with the rat pack, but we weren't as big. We were the zag pack, but we had our following. We invented the Vegas residency back then. We did a two week run at the old Howard Johnson Motor lodge and casino off old Fremont. Even bigger than that, we were the opening act for a while for Saul Anka, Paul's bitter older brother. I walked that Vegas back, the old Vegas, with the wood paneled room where octogenarian women in Dolly Parton wigs swoon to a 960 pound Elvis impersonator who never let this barcounger breathe.

Yes. Hold on. Look, hold on.

This is half time. Half time of the back of my day. Thank you.

Okay, I was legitimately scared there for a second.

Look.

That's a long time to be alone at a microphone reading. You were doing it very well. Let's take a break. Your stamina, your writing is excellent. Let's slow it down. Slow it down so that we can enjoy every word of this. No one's ever gotten this. You are the first. Like, let's go.

Carry him home. Carry him home. Thank you.

On the west coast, votes for sure.

Is lady on a Friday.

Okay, I want the old school slot machines where all you needed was three sevens or cherries, and you didn't push a button. You had tactile involvement pulling the black Ball knob down so there felt like you were losing money slower. The drive through chapels, now, that's an old Vegas fixture that's still around because nothing conveys you're serious about your commitment like a quickie wedding ceremony played for laughs. Speaking of marriage, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas used to be true. It was the adulterer's capital. A man could bring his second family here. I never had a problem. That was before smartphones made every guy two tables over a potential blackmail photographer. Bring back old, sad Vegas. Bring back the Copa room at the sad. That shoe. The slots button for the black knob. And get rid of smartphones and give me back my privacy. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day.

Pride of a lion, folks.

What a pot. How about this? Thank you, Greg. Thank you all. Thank you, Greg. I love you all. Thank you. I lost my voice. Who needs.

Pretty sure. I am pretty sure. Greg Cody thinks he now has a future career in Vegas as a crooner and writing entertainer. And an act that can do many things.

I'll tell you what. Thank you for bringing up the pride of a lion.

That's not what he did.

Oh, he. Because you know, this book, it's cheaper than Sue Gotz's book.

It has a cover.

It has a cover. It's written by an actual know. Quasi the lion writes better than Sue Gotz does. So I don't know nothing.

I love you, Sue Gotz, but this.

Is an actual book. Please go out and buy it because Ron McGill needs the money.

Okay? That new cadillac needs some help from the group. This might not be the best time to do it. Why is the guy with the sign back?

I love that guy.

He doesn't even have the McGill sign up right now.

Yes, we expel him.

Don't put them up.

You're ruining so many shots.

Yes. What a wonderful sign.

Look, we got to do better as a crowd. This person can't just keep getting back into good position.

It's a beautifully crafted sign.

Be a punishment. But the thing that I wanted to sink into for a second is that I'm pretty sure I now have beef with Tang.

Oh, boy. Woof.

You're talking to a member here, so you can.

Yeah. Honorary member. Yeah, I'm waiting for those. Wu Tang honorary member residual checks.

Can we relive for a second? Just. I really suffered.

Do we have to?

Well, here's why it was going so well.

I know.

Well, because there were two things that happened after the bad thing that happened that embarrassed me, that makes me think it is now elevated to beef. So, it was the interview I was scared of for seven days because I'm told they may or may not come. All seven of them. And then six of them arrive. But I've had memorized who the seven are, and I don't know a couple of them. And mathematics isn't. He's not a member of Wu Tang, but he'll also be there. And then we start the interview, and I ask you, God, a question without realizing that you got is not there.

Woof. Yeah. That was tough. That was tough.

To bounce back from.

That's right.

You took it like a champ.

I didn't bounce back from it.

No, you didn't.

I did not.

I.

Into my chair.

And then you called Lucy Iowa.

Yes.

I accused Wayne Newton of having a surgically altered.

That was.

Newton accused you. You said, I accused him of that.

Mike says he clearly dyes his hair. And then Dan goes, you know what, Mike? You're right. He does do work on his face.

You called him a compiler.

He looks great.

He did do that, Billy, you're right, that was crazy.

Wayne was waiting right here.

That was Billy though, wasn't it?

Someone said compiler right before Wayne.

We probably have beef with Wayne too, that I think about it, because he comes up on stage and I say 165 albums and Billy says, compiler privately.

In our headset, 50,000 shows.

So understand I told Ghostface is coming, but I don't think Ghostface was there. I have Ray Kwan's photo, but he has a beard and it doesn't look like I remember these guys from 30 years ago. And so after we've had this shame, I feel terrible. One of the members of Wutang comes up to me, shakes my hand and says, what's my name?

Whoa. Oh my.

We've done the interview now. You got to keep in mind, I couldn't hear what they were saying. We had tech issues. I didn't hear the first hour and 15 minutes excuses.

It really does. It sounds like you're cracking up the excuse machine.

Yeah, of course I am. But again, I'm now shaking hands with a member of Wutang. I've disrespected both you, God, and all of them, because I can't tell you God apart from Masta.

You got it wrong, Master Killer.

That's correct.

And he says to me, what's my name? And I'm sitting in the handshake. And he lets the silence sit there for 10 seconds. And what do you do if you're me there? Turn around and know his name.

You hit him with your dad, eh? The poppy, Dan.

I feel like you're just leaning your name.

And then you hit him in the back and you keep him moving. There you go. What do I need to tell you?

Or you go, a man who needs no introduction, right?

Iowa, the Hawkeyes.

So he says Capadonna to me. I should have known that he wasn't on the list. He wasn't any of the seven names I had memorized.

It was a surprise entrant in the woo.

Royal Rumble.

But you got was not there.

You're already rattled.

I'm falling apart because I was supposed to come out with a joke and my mic didn't work.

Method man had a tube of toothpaste in his hand. That was weird.

It was crazy because Dan. We did the Dan walk out with the mic working 42 times the day before.

It was the only thing.

We were hurt.

Yeah. And so I come out to a big circus show, the biggest we've ever done, and the first step out of the gate is Mike doesn't work.

Yeah.

You know, it's funny. That's always the only part that the microphone catches. My mic's not working. Would be a great time. While you say that for the mic to actually not be working. But no, we caught that part when it was abundantly clear that it wasn't working. But just to reinforce it, the only thing that you hear pristine audio wise is Dan saying, this isn't working.

My question to you, I've got this right. I'm not interpreting the language correctly. What's my name as a question begins? Beef. Does it not?

Yeah, it does.

If he's going to make me sit in it and I don't know your name.

I think the polite answer is, I'm not going to take a quiz. That is your move.

Anytime I ask my dad who any baseball player is, he's just like, I'm not taking a quiz unless he knows the answer, then he will take a quiz.

Now you have your way out, right?

What have you observed from your father this week? Because it has made me truly joyous to see you see him this happy. It's the happiest I've ever seen a mentor and friend because he gets to perform these cheesy acts in Vegas.

You've been living out a dream, have you not? This has been a dream come true for you this week. It legitimately has been cool for me. I know I were going to do the zany stuff, but all of this has been super cool this week. Hanging out with all the crew and what's happening right now. Yeah, Dan, you're better at this than I am. I started feeling something in my stomach.

I was like, what is that feeling?

I think it's the tequila shots I.

Had with let's shake out of this.

Perf or purdy.

Are those feelings that I started getting there.

That was weird, dude.

I just had a moment.

It's all right. There's going to be tums people here later.

There's going to be bloody Mary people here later as week. It feels like a week in Vegas because I haven't lost any money yet. Listen, this has been really special. I've done a lot in my life. I have to say. I've written a book, the pride of a lion with Ron Kowassi. Growing up at Zoo Miami. I'm a baseball hall of Fame voter. I'm an eight time PFPI champion.

You don't take quizzes.

I'm a league bowler. Okay. I'm a league bowler. So I've done a lot in my life. But to be able to say legitimately now that, yeah, I performed live in Vegas, it's just a know it is. I'm not even being facetious. Like, I'm not even playing that for a, you know, it's a cheap thrill. So thank you all for making it happen. You guys are the greatest fans. Your show fans are the greatest. I spoke to a lot of you yesterday after the show. Some of the stories you guys tell about how much this show means to you. I got emotional several times talking to a lot of you, and I'm not even lying. You guys are special and we appreciate you. Thank you.

I didn't get that. They just yelled put at me.

Okay.

They just had heaters with me.

It's uncomfortable to be in that emotional skin, showing gratitude for people who would.

I didn't like it.

It was a little.

To all of you. When this is over and hopefully I get to hear your stories, but try.

To keep them under 30 seconds, though.

No, that never happens.

It is. Got to keep it under 30, right?

Dan's got a long line, guys.

Come on. Make it quick.

I'll tell you why it's a long line and I hope to shake all of your hands and take pictures with you. I do not take for granted that many of you fly in from places in this streaming economy when you can have any entertainment because you'd catch us wherever we go and not everybody gets that. And so we're happy to perform for you even though this is wildly uncomfortable for me. And many of you will also tell me from this most intimate of space that we brought you through a dark time and you now do that for me, who has lost his brother and needs the laughter here so that I can feel better about the silliness that we do every day. So thank you, genuinely.

Are we going to do Super bowl predictions today?

Oh, we are. Yep.

Because it's Friday and we did this thing.

We broke frustrated. We haven't talked about the game enough.

We'll get to the game.

I have my top five Vegas acts if anyone's interested, that's a way to.

Cut through the emotion.

Thank you. Oli.

Mike cheating.

Oli should be Dan acting like he knew the names of the members of the Wu Tang clan yesterday.

Number five, cheating dead and company. Number four, snorting cocaine. Number three, the act of adultery.

Cheating.

There's different types.

We went open this.

Number two, where did Eric Winston. It's the cheating and adultery.

And number one, Greg coat. And the hehaw three.

Yeah. Thank you. Wow, ahead of Wayne Newton. That's terrific. Thank you so much.

Well, have any good Greg Cody stories from the week before we get out of here with him before he leaves?

We were at a bar last night. Mike was doing a dj set and he and Yeti had to leave because Greg had to get home early because he needed to rest his voice.

Well, Yeti told Greg, we're leaving right now. You need to protect your voice. Somehow they didn't care about Jeremy. They were like, Jeremy, you can stay.

Right. So we were walking back on Fremont under there. What's that big thing on? Everything's lit up. It's like a cavalcade. What's that called?

You'll find it feature at Fremont?

Yeah, that thing led.

And those three guys in the pool earlier today without the shirts like the buff guys that you guys were referring to. Those, I swear, are the three half naked cowboys on Fremont. Those guys back there today, am I right? Did anybody see those? They're the same guys, right? They're the same guys. Okay. I just wanted to give them two.

People, put their thumb up. Like, I don't think that that's any kind of confirmation.

Yeah, there's crazy people on that promenade.

Are the nuns here asking for the best stories from Greg Cody?

There's a topless nun. We're getting there. We're getting.

Stories not told by Greg Cody. About Greg Cody. Before we get him out of here.

I have a couple, but I'm not telling baby. Yeah. That kind of thing. You know what I'm saying? We don't. No, I'm quiet. You know what? I hadn't left the hotel until last night. I'm a very quiet man. Yes, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife. Despite that gratuitous line back in my day that I wrote, I wish you were here, my wife. I really miss her. No, I don't. That's the thing about being married. You're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her. 30 seconds. Hello? All right, we'll see you. All right. And then I'm going to see her in two days. How's jumping Charlie? Good. And that's it.

That kind of thing?

Exactly.

That kind of thing.

So you miss her or you don't miss her?

I wish you were here, but no, I mean, come on. Yeah, no, I've been married for like 40 years, 43 years. Why? I'm allowed to be away from my wife. And you know what? She doesn't miss me. I guarantee you that. I guarantee you that. It's a break for her. She's on vacation without me there. Are you kidding me?

And you know it baby, and you know it.

And you know it baby, and you know it. And you know it baby, and you know it. That kind of thing baby, doesn't go as well. That kind of thing.

Chance, you did it.

I know that kind of thing.

Dan the Dan Lebatard show with Stu.

Gotts is presented by de Journo. It's not delivery, it's Digiorno.

Don Lebatard, all of us who were.

Watching college football elevated everything the weekend was because we missed football in general so very much.

You didn't watch the ending of UTEP Jacksonville State.

It was awesome.

Adizzy boom, stugats.

It's such a lane for you. Just everything in college football is awesome. Any single thing that happens, she gets deliriously happy about.

Don't you miss viewing sports through that prism? Though? I'm envious of Lucy, I wish that I could still be happy. This is Levitar show with the Stu gods parrot top. Carrot top. Carrot. Carrot top. Carrot. All right. I like it.

I like it. I like it.

A Vegas kind of got me a.

Little boner right there, actually. That was nice. Thank you.

Carrot top is a legitimate Las Vegas legend. He's performing six days a week here for 25 years. For 25 years?

29. 29.

That's a fine.

And he signed through 2030. How many acts have there been in Vegas more long running than yours?

I don't know. I know Penn and Teller have been long, but only one talks, so that doesn't count. That doesn't count. That's a good gig, right? Just stand there, do nothing, show up, dress up.

I come here, man. Yeah.

Sugarsbooks.com, everyone.

Thank you. 29 99.

The Luxor hotel is where you've been. You've seen Vegas change a lot. Yes, but I don't want to ask you about that. What I want to do is condemn you. Condemn you.

I had a great comeback for that one. Not too late. No. You didn't want to ask. I've seen the growth of know. You go to check in your room. They say your room's not ready. They said you cleaning it. They said, no, we're building it. See, that would have been a great comeback if you'd set it up right. All ready for it.

Really, Gary?

You're more mad at me?

This is the last interview. I'm done.

This is what I'm mad about. I'm going to share an intimacy with the audience here and a little bit of a betrayal.

Okay.

This is my friend. I love him. He's wildly talented. You should see his show. He is a whore who has given the best of his comedy to 70 radio stations around the world on radio row the last two days. And what we get is the broken remains of the who has no voice left, comes and gives me the crumbs of his comedy because he's too busy talking to Minnesota.

Well, it was ESPN. It was all these big know how do you say no to. But, yeah, it was fun. No, it was fun. I've been looking for a ticket, too. I don't have a ticket for the game, so I'll be trying to get a ticket.

So you were doing 70.

My last attempt to get a ticket.

You're hoping we have one for you. You do have one? No.

Well, if I may explain here, just so that you know what this person is. In Vegas many years ago, Guns N'Roses was opening some giant thing here, and he did not have any tickets, and he said his id was his face. And then we pulled into the biggest show in town, and he parked where he wanted to and went everywhere with his face. And now he can't get a Super bowl ticket because Las Vegas has gotten so big that he can't even get in the room with the NFL because they don't respect Vegas the way they need to.

I should probably call guns n'Roses and see if they can get me into. I got into guns and the it. I took you with me.

You haven't gotten tickets. How can you not get tickets in this?

I don't know. People ask this a mysterious question. I don't know, but I'm trying, right? I mean, I was going to ask the commissioner yesterday, but I thought that was OD. He was like, how are you? I was like, I need a ticket. So you're not going to get into the game? I'm a whore, but not that kind of a whore.

Vegas is going to come into your city, and you, a Vegas legend, isn't going to be able to get into the game.

It's not over yet. We have another day, but it disrespects you. There are some shows that have viewerships that are probably. I'm not talking about you. Some of the ones that I've done that are working on it. We got a couple of people working on it.

It disrespects you to not get you a ticket, does it not?

Yeah. Yes. Very sad right now. I know. I'm very sad. I am broken. I have no voice left, and this is it.

What have you been doing by a freezing pool?

This is a great gig, by the way. All they was heat and all. They're bringing you tea and cookies.

We're trying to do it different than radio row. We're trying to do it with. He's already been having sex with radio.

Row for two days.

He's just fucking nasty nester. He's coming over here, and then he.

Comes and gives me the crumbs of this.

Yeah, but they're good crumbs.

They're good crumbs.

I love the crumbs of, like, a chip bag when you, like, tilt back to you, Daniel.

What's wrong with having sex with radio.

Row, by the way? Karen, I'm proud of you, man. Yeah.

Thank you.

Was it good sex?

It was great sex.

I was involved.

It was great sex. I'm great in bed. I come every time. That's how I look at it. There you go.

And I drink smartwatch.

I miss Wu Tang, apparently, I miss Wu Tang and Wayne Newton. How would that happen?

That's an excellent.

Well, that was missed.

I thought it was today. Okay. How did it go, by the way?

Awkwardly. I asked the question of you. God. And you got wasn't there.

Oh, no. I've done that with.

Oh, God.

I've done that. I called new kids on the block backstory boys, like, right in front of them. I said, oh, my God. I was trying to get your show tonight. And they said, what show? And I said, you had a show at the Mandalay Bay? And they said, no. I said, yeah. I was going, and my assistant's like, dude, wrong band. Like, oh, my God. But they were like, cool, man. Yeah, next time. They didn't even correct me. They're like, yeah, next time.

Your assistant's name is Jeff?

Yeah, he's sitting right down there. Who's.

Jeff? Porno Jeff? Porno Jeff?

Why is he porno Jeff?

I think he used to work in porn. Behind the scenes. He was wrapping up rings and shipping them.

He wasn't wearing them creatively, how is it that you do the same act for 30 years? Comedy changes a lot. Other comedians like to look down on the prop comic who's played for 30 years in Vegas, and now it's more competitive than ever. Younger people. And you're still doing it. How do you do it six out of seven nights a week without your stamina? Just drying?

Fun. It's a fun can. Every day is a new topic. I mean, you can't not come up with new jokes. Trump ran into Trump. It's red. Both teams are red. Both teams are red. I made red. No one made red. This is Trump with a cold, by the way, with no voice.

Better when I have a voice.

No president's had red. I made red. I made water. There was never water before I was president. Yeah, you just come up with Joe. It's easy. You come up with topic and do you do it? They're going to put 70,000 people in the stadium for the Super Bowl. 70,000 people with only one usher. How do you do that? How do you do this? This is a joke for one day.

How many other people got it on radio?

Right? I've been working on my crap.

You made the usher joke?

I got here, got it all polished up for you.

That had to have been, like, the 36th time he said that joke in the last 24 hours.

Give me a number.

A number?

What?

How many times?

Number of times you made that?

How many times have I done that bit? Yes. Oh, this week?

Last two days?

Yes.

It's only funny for the last two days, so I probably did it 70 times, but I executed it really good that time. I really did the best I've ever done it. But, yeah, you just throw in a little bit of this, ones that are good for this week. Topical, right?

I would love your Trump for the next 3 minutes.

Okay. Just 3 minutes.

I could do it all day. I could do it. I am. Sit forward, though. You got to sit forward.

Your idea as he does his 150th consecutive show.

I love.

Just carry the next 3 minutes.

This is a time for you to negotiate, my friend. Tell him you'll do it for 3 minutes if he gets you a Super bowl ticket.

Okay.

Three minute routine with Trump.

And somehow, if it meets with audience approval, then I have to figure out a way to get you a Super bowl ticket, because you should be in the Super bowl, but it's got to be mean. 3 minutes of improv. You're freestyling.

Oh, God.

You're freestyling on Trump. That's a lot of pressure. I don't even know if you want. I wouldn't want it.

I can think of a story, but I got to do it by Trump. Eh? By Trump.

Well, what's the deal?

Stu?

Got to negotiate the terms.

Well, he gets a Super bowl ticket on Dan. You have to do Trump for 3 minutes.

Just running out of time. He's worked down to a pro bowl ticket at this point.

Things to ponder just in case we want it.

I have it. I'm on a plane. Right.

Okay.

It's hard to do Trump like this.

You could do a car.

I'm on a plane, and I sit next to this. I sit next to this guy. Right? And our plane's delayed.

Right.

Horrible to do Trump. Unless you just do this. Trump's only funny for, like. And that's limited.

Such a bad spot.

Everybody would.

I made this whole joke. This whole joke was me. I was at a place.

It's hard to do.

See, all I was going to talk about was, I like pussy.

That's what I was going to talk about.

That was my whole plan, to wear this shirt and say, I like pussy. And then you were going to give me a ticket. But it's harder now if I can intertwine Wu Tang and wayne Newton into the story.

But I feel like if you hadn't.

Been radio wrote for two straight days. I would have gotten good, man.

I did.

I would have gotten maximum carrot top, who's not broken by the week, because vacant has broken you the way that it's broken him. You're done.

Yeah, but I think if I got here the first day, I wouldn't have had that big, powerful joke about know it wouldn't evolve into that beautiful routine.

Go see his show at the Luxor.

I'm going tonight, by the way. I'm going tonight. If anybody wants to ticket to my show, I'll get you one. I'll get you one.

I should tell the audience as well. Many of you remember, kicked Colin Cowherd's ass.

I did.

Seven straight, the longest run we had. Best ever beaten by Chris Jarrett. He had no chance, but seven straight weeks, he beat Colin Cowherd. Carrot top. Thank you, sir.

Appreciate.

Thanks, everybody, for a beautiful fun time.

Carrot top.

Carrot top. Carrot top. Carrot.

20 more seconds.

20 more seconds, things ponder.

20 more seconds.

Christian Ponder.

How is the things ponder file? Already in rerun. We'll be back to close things up next.

His name is Cooper. Good at running curls. But when his hammy got a tear, he saw puka standing there. His play diminished, hostile take over. Nakua hopped into the car. McVeigh has maybe found a star and then met that bird. Threw him 25 into. Oh, there's a brand new kid in town out of BYU. They call him Puka Nakua his quarterback is not named tua yeah, he is Puka Nakua fantasy assassin. It's the time to catch and yes, Pooka. Don't need the glory, don't need the glove glow. Greg Cody.

The Dan Lebatard show with Stu Gotts.

Is brought to you by Bear Aspirin.

The official sponsor of fans'hearts, Don Lebotard.

I actually thought you looked kind of good, Stu got.

Thank you. The beard's grown out a little bit. I got a little life in my face. I feel like little tan. Colorado, San Francisco, a great time.

You get life on your face.

You've got death on your face.

I think you've got 40. The life on your face.

This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stu gods.

Without getting too aggressively grateful here, I will just tell you that the endeavor of bringing this spaceship up and making it look like this requires the help of a lot of people, circa. Everyone needs to stay here. Everyone needs to stay here. Nobody had a better setup than us in this entire Super bowl week. And that's ridiculous to say. We're just a sports writer and some Miami nonsense. Chris Cody wants to thank some people, though, for us because he felt a feeling earlier.

Well, I think I want to thank.

For the first time wants to express it.

Well, no, I think we've thanked our audience and we're going to thank you guys afterwards when we talk to you. But we really do need to thank our crew here because of what you're seeing here and there's no time. There's literally dozens and dozens of people, and I mean this sincerely. So we are going to just all turn on our mics and we're all going to thank them. Start naming names. It's the only way to get all the names said. So on the count of three, we're going to just take 5 seconds and thank our entire crew and you guys just appease us.

Okay? Okay.

This is his worst idea since purring for purrr.

No, this works. One, two, three.

Jenny.

You guys, he mentioned Jeremy. I don't know if I can throw it to Jeremy, but Jeremy is mad at Hehaw three. There's a problem. There is beef. Hehaw three is already in trouble of some sort. Jeremy, thank you for all your work. You never got introduced. You were pantomiming playing instruments earlier. I don't think you were actually playing any of them. You're a very talented person who has been engulfed by this team of people who don't think you're that talented and you're full of yourself.

Thank you.

That's enough.

Jeremy, why are you beefing with the other members of Hehaw three?

Well, they're both named Greg and I.

Feel like their gregdom has been really excluding me. They seem to only want to talk about the Greg Cody show with Greg Cody. They say greg, greg, Greg over and over again. We have a certain soloist who only wants to be the center of attention.

Complaining the music's too loud, your instrument doesn't work.

My instrument works. I was faking one song. That's okay. We can let everybody behind the curtain. But yeah, there's just a little bit.

Of tension and I think I might have to go as a solo act in.

I will do this begrudgingly. Stugat has and I love him and I've loved him for 20 years. He loves this event. I hate this event. The fact that we're out here is a great joy to me to be able to see him dominate radio row and as an honor to him right now, the last 9 minutes of this emotional week for us. We are going to talk football.

I can't believe it. I can't believe.

I mean, the NFL honors were last night. We haven't talked about Lamar Jackson winning the MVP.

I was very upset about Lamar Jackson winning the MVP.

No, I'm upset because he wasn't unanimous. Aaron Scheidz placed him third on his fired third.

Who do you have first?

You saw that AFC championship game and your takeaway was, oh, this is easily the. Oh, yeah.

Wait a second.

I'm not sure what's going on there.

Can we talk about.

This is an amazing football game. Mina was talking yesterday at her live podcast and I do love the build up to one big event. It's a pop culture epicenter. You have commercialism, you have media, you got usher in the middle of all of it. And you've got also a rematch of a previous Super bowl with two really good teams that have been doubted for totally different reasons. And the line is super tiny. I don't know who's actually going to win it. And every year I keep thinking it's not going to get any bigger than it was. Remember Dana White and Mark Cuban? Everyone said that this wasn't going to get bigger than it was and that was ten years ago. And somehow with a little help of a pop star, it's exploded to the biggest it's ever been every passing day, pro football in this country and now across the globe as there's a week one in Brazil with the Philadelphia Eagles. This is immense. But also it's a really good game and I don't know who wins it.

This is the way I do it. Mike.

I will tell you who's going to win this game.

Okay.

Game for your life, Patrick Mahomes or Brock Purdy. Because I am not betting against the Chiefs again. I have gone against the Chiefs the entire time. I have been wrong the entire time. For two years. I have been wrong on this Kansas City Chiefs team. I am not going against Patrick Mahomes two years.

Alex Smith take is much older than two years.

Five years.

I've been wrong about this Kansas City Chiefs team.

Loud wrong.

Dan, do you have opinions about this?

This. I think it's funny what you say when you say I don't know who's going to win because as we all know, Mike Ryan knows everything. It must be shocking that he doesn't know that this time. He doesn't know who's going to win most games.

I know exactly every other game outside.

Of a lot of the Dolphins games this year. I mean, we kind of knew.

One of the people I should thank before we get out of here. Executive producer for many years. This is his last show. Thank you, Mike.

Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Mike.

Thank you, Mike. But to answer your question, Mike wants.

To keep it moving.

I asked this to Mina yesterday. I'm like, because Mina knows more than everybody, but you don't know what's going to happen in a football game. Weird things happen. I expect Brock Purdy and the 49 ers to be better than Kansas City, but I fear Patrick Mahomes because you don't bet against that dude.

The game for your life thing really shook me because I was the lead in SF.

But for all we know about football, we're still in the place. Well, I like this quarterback better than that quarterback, even though three weeks ago I kind of thought like he did. There's no way Kansas City wins any football games this postseason. Like that was three weeks ago. He was having the take of I want Kansas City in my stadium. And now you're fearing them again. The great ones, the Brady's, that's what they do to you. Where you reduce it to his team's not as good, but he beats you anyway. To me, that puts more pressure on him than Taylor Swift or anybody else this week.

Wait a second.

You agree with lot.

We were all doubting Kansas City.

I mean, if we're doing this thing based off of recent form, I can understand why a lot of people and the public are backing Kansas City because it's not every day you make it to the Super bowl without playing your best football. And San Francisco has not looked good really for several weeks. I think everyone's still carrying that Monday night performance with them when they're trying to evaluate these quarterbacks. And now I'm gambling again. So I'm in everything. I know all about the four string linebacker for Kansas City.

Now, I don't know what you're talking about, but the Duke, Bill Barnwell's x factor. Duke knows the Duke is the nation's fourth. No international. What is going to happen in this football game?

Prediction the Chiefs are going to stomp the 49 ers.

Data boy, 17 points at least. Sorry shanahans, blah, blah, blah.

Jessica, Lucy, predictions.

Radio we gave our predictions, Dan. You missed out on a lot of good content from radio row. We all gave our predictions, Lucy, what was yours? I just hope everyone has a really good time. Hope both teams have a lot of fun. I hope we have fun. And I hope Rod pretty loses just a little bit.

What?

Iowa State can't beat Iowa.

Can't beat Iowa.

You certainly can't beat the Chiefs.

I will predict one thing that won't happen if the Chiefs win. There will not because there's people that think this be a proposal. You could take that to the bank.

I'm with you, Chris.

Cody, zero chance that there is a proposal on that field.

Are there actual odds on that?

Some people.

What if someone else gets engaged?

Ooh.

I had your bets.

Swift and Kelsey will not get engaged after the Super bowl.

And what do you think about Chris Jones'sack? Wait, I'm sorry, let me excuse. What do you think about Chris Jones's ability to get a sack in this game?

That right tackle for the Niners is a little weak. I don't know his name, but I know he's not good.

We're just regurgitating everything that Mina Billbornwell, Kevin Clark, and Dominique did.

You was awkward, by the way, if I need to get your prediction, it is indeed.

Listen to embargoed. And it was a safe take, but I'm sticking with it. I picked the 49 ers to win by three.

She did the thing where she went 27 24. Whenever there's a score, that's what you guess. It's either 31 28. Sometimes 27 24 is a good one.

Roy.

Dan, I feel a legacy game coming.

On for Patrick Mahomes.

You made the Dolphin game a legacy.

I know. And was it? Every game is a legacy. And was it?

And then the Bills game and then the Ravens game. Now this is another legacy game for Mahomes. I think they're going to be trailing late.

Aren't all Super Bowls legacy games breakdown.

Hold on. You don't get it.

Let them cook.

Because all Super Bowls are legacy.

Right?

Tony has this in the fourth quarter.

Right now. I've got it in the fourth quarter.

Do you know, I didn't remember this. I was watching the last time these two teams played, San Francisco was up with 6 minutes left.

Yeah.

Bingo.

Which is what all they needed to.

Do was not three and out and Mahomes would have lost that one throw.

Jimmy Garoppolo had the throw and he didn't make it.

But so put us in the fourth quarter.

Yes. Fourth quarter, allegiance Stadium. Yes. 2 minutes left. Oh, goosebeast. 2 minutes.

Patrick Mahomes has the ball.

Legacy game.

Timeouts. Timeouts.

Timeouts.

Two timeouts.

Wow. Down four.

Wait, is this 2 minutes left? This is post two minute warning. We hit it even.

Yes. Okay, so he's coming out.

Plenty of time left.

The season ended.

You expect him to go down the field and win.

Exactly.

So he's coming out of the timeout with the two minute warning. With two timeouts.

Two timeouts.

Okay, good.

Drives down the field. Fourth. They get a holding call in the fourth down.

This is very specific.

They go, the food is burning. Fourth and 24th and 24th and 20.

I love this.

He scrambles out.

Get the first down.

He runs for a first. Runs for a first down.

A fourth and 20. Yeah. Then throws a touchdown pass.

Two specific.

Cadarius.

Tony.

Cadarius. Cadarius Tony. Featuring player of the week, Roy.

Your prediction.

Roy, as I was putting my equipment.

Out here yesterday, I saw the maintenance.

Crew and one of the maintenance cards.

Had a bucket on it. A brand name.

I like paint on it.

That brand name. Purdy.

I'm putting my money on the San Francisco 49 ers.

That is a sign.

Gambling.

I mean, the exact opposite of Tony's very specific prediction.

You think we end with purring or what?

How do we end? Can we time something musically that is emotional and hits the right notes with Hehaw three, that is only two members, and Greg coding.

I'd rather just purr.

I can't.

If you want to do that, we.

Can'T open up the club.

I can give you a mike Tomlin splash. That's what I can do.

You want to give him a couple sounds? You want to give him a couple of sounds?

Absolutely not. But I do like the idea of Greg Cody and the he haw three taking us away.

All right.

Thank you, Las Vegas. Thank you. Thank you, fans. Thank you, fans. Thank you, fans. Thank you, fans.

And.

Greg Cody.
