Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertars show with this Tougat's podcast. How do you want to, you just want to go to it? I mean, I would hope that everybody here would like the the prize at the end of this I feel like everyone's bought into it's tight right now. We all really good records I'm saying that we have a heater right now. It's actually the most fun. I've ever had creating yep as a professional as a As a creative of a repute in this industry. There is nothing I'm more proud of then There's nothing I'm more proud of than
Starting point is 00:00:49 I've been inspired watching like It's time for Brought to you by Dravaking Sportsbook use code Dan when you sign up on the effort. Limited time offer for new customers. Guys, we're approaching the end of the year. You know what that means? And I'm looking at the live standings right now. Everybody is doing terrific in this contest. It's going to be neck and neck the entire way through. Who's winning? Today, it's a lot of people are dying. Yeah, too close to call. Too close to call right now.
Starting point is 00:01:28 It should be able to call. It's a record, but too close to call. Is anyone recording this anywhere? Are you, I would love to see a piece of paper. Yes, because of the prize. Something. You guys have the prize. Here is one piece of paper.
Starting point is 00:01:39 She's holding up a piece of paper. A piece of paper. Billy has it right there. Iron fist. So it's everyone. everyone's picking a game Hurry it up you want to start I'd like there's a lot of pressure with going first A lot of pressure, but also wide open then because you can take any game you're doing pretty well That's that's not a spray.
Starting point is 00:02:05 That's not how we play this game. You're just being an asshole. You're just being an asshole right now. Because there's a running theme here where you pretend to be confused. We do this every week. I'll take the diamondbacks on the run line. I'm starting to think the Dan knows that it's with Greg Cody. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:02:26 It's the spread. You don't take someone on the run line. You take them. It's the spread. You know, for that behavior, I'm docking him a game. I'll take a Malika Monk over on point. You can't do that. You already took them two points.
Starting point is 00:02:43 This late in the season, you're going to dock him a again. How many times do we have to tell you old man? Whoa. Whoa. It's from SpongeBob. Yeah, well, but also, you can look at it as a man. That's a bad day, man. Anything and say it's from SpongeBob and get away with it, probably. In this room here.
Starting point is 00:02:55 You're a leg? I mean, you're up. I have a good one. You're up? I'm up. Yeah. Why am I starting this? Because he started.
Starting point is 00:03:03 But he didn't start. He did. He did his own thing where he pretends to not care about the prize at the end of this Brooklyn at six point dogs Here in Miami. I'm going to the game. I'm taking the nets So many ghosts to give you a little basketball analysis from last night The calves can't beat the Nix, correct? That's the weirdest thing now to be fair. To be fair, they didn't have their full complement of guys. But yes, also, it's so weird that that's their boogie man, right?
Starting point is 00:03:34 The Kavs are better than the Nix, but cannot beat the Nix. It is the wildest thing. Now, you're not extra incentivized to take big risk in against a spread. A win is a win, and sometimes you'll lay some juice to get a win. I want this prize desperately. So I'm going to the Bundesliga. Bundesliga.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Where there is a massive favorite than buyer-labor Q's and against thin housing. However, I'm not taking money line. I'm gonna take a risk here, and I'm gonna take them minus one and a half, which still is pretty hefty price, but it allows me to talk about one of my passions embedding this here, which is Byer Lever Cusin, led by Chabby Alonzo. They are so fun to watch, the rest of Europe is really lucky, they're not in Champions League.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I'm taking Byer Lever Cusin against the spread. I can speed by your laver Q's and Gens the spread I can speed this up. That's all from SpongeBob then can we speed it up Billy choose one? I'm gonna take the Giants plus two over the Raiders now a lot of people are seeing the Raiders situation is saying that's a team in disarray And that's what I'm hoping is the case because if you watch the Giants game last week You said you know what this is another team in disarray. And that's what I'm hoping is the case. Because if you watch the Giants game last week, you said, you know what? This is another team in disarray. He's playing quarterback for the game.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Let him finish his analysis. Tommy DeVito. He's so good. Oh, I'm sorry for the reduction. It's incredible. You know what? I don't care. No, you're always so good at this.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Plus two with the Giants. Oh, this is great. This is great. This is great. But you always playing quarterback. Peter Pan is in the middle. Tommy DeVito. I'm taking the Eagles minus three at home against the Cowboys in every Windows game. So I'm going to take the Jessica
Starting point is 00:05:15 Smitty Bowl this weekend Clemson Notre Dame I'm taking Clemson plus three because the vibes around Clemson are bad and Notre Dame's offense still It has some issues to work out. Tyler, so you're betting on bad vibes. I'm betting on Clemson's bad in terms of their record, their foreign forest. Statistically, they're not that bad of a team and they've got a good defense. They just have a really bad offense and maybe one of their best players is out this weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Can you emotionally add to your life both teams? So what team are you talking about? I know, I want no other team to win. But I know, I know that's your number one. I know that's your number one. You think Clemson's gonna win though. Or not against like, or... I guess it's like...
Starting point is 00:05:53 I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or...
Starting point is 00:06:01 I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... I guess it's like, or... Well, now they have to fight for their coach. Clemson has all-time bad vibes. No, I would, I would, I would say the opposite. They have great vibes coming in now. People want to play for dabble. That's true. I don't trust dabble in an underdog position. But you just took them. Wait, I meant the ounces of that. I can tell you his wife did. I don't trust him in an underdog position to lose.
Starting point is 00:06:13 I can tell you his wife trusts him in a couple of positions. Whoa! Three kids. Three kids. I want it to be an underdog, and then I did it. What? Here's my point. I'll give you some actual football analysis.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I picked Clemson plus three. Again, that's those bread. We already did that. That's sorry. No, your name's offense has had a lot of struggles. I know they put up 60 points last week against Pitt, but same-harming through two interceptions, he threw three against Louisville.
Starting point is 00:06:38 They have been really struggling. Their defensive unit is one of the best in the country's. Clemson's got a good defense, but a struggling offense as well. I think it might be close. The line opened at minus one, I think Notre Dame. It's gone up a little bit, but I think it might be a close game.
Starting point is 00:06:51 So I'm emotionally hedging. And one minute, Clemson receiving a point for every one of Davos' kids, plus a hook. Wow. Again. So it's for Lucy. Lucy. Wait, before Lucy, Jessica, go sit in the penalty box. Why are you not, sister? It was great. Yes, fun. You sit in the penalty box Why her analysis was great. Yes, but you sit in the penalty box. Are you don't know ball?
Starting point is 00:07:11 That is what A player prop and against the spread I'm not penalizing her for the analysis I'm penalizing her because it was unclear throughout who she was taking. I literally said Clemson just three of those I heard that but then you said they have bad vibes around It's a great show it led to a discourse. What's I thought we want to be like Why is she still here? Don't let me talk that much. So I thought I had to get it out I'm gonna pass and then I ended up confusing everyone your fault not mine. I need to do anything wrong I'm just glad the segments going past from SpongeBob. Don't let me talk that much, so I thought I had to get it out really fast and then I ended up confusing everyone. You're fault, not mine. I need to do anything wrong. I'm just glad this segment's going fast.
Starting point is 00:07:48 That's from SpongeBob. Don't victim blame. Um, um, Lucy's rattled because he was docked that game. It's very a two game. Two games, two games. Two. It's a word, man.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Thinking about a third for context, detrimental to the bit. Wow. Lucy, what are you selected? I'm very overwhelmed right now by this entire situation, but I am taking Alabama minus three against LSU revenge game at home. Jalen Miller was playing a lot better. I think this line is kind of questionable to me. Alabama must minus three. Again. I remember it. Are you going to be able to get onto the sidelines of that game? Are we going to be able to execute the getting?
Starting point is 00:08:27 I heard John Skipper talking yesterday about the phone call he was going to have to make in order to see if he could get you on the sidelines of that football game. We have no news. So today we booked a temporary flight to Oklahoma for a bad lump. Yes, because we could, Alabama causes back and like hey come on down c-o-o-calmore not going there i know john the plan is Oklahoma Oklahoma say we should be awesome it's the last bedlam in a very long time it might even be better than bama lsio
Starting point is 00:08:56 i know john scabre is plenty of great relationships but if you consider getting a credential through michigan we could do that i own a lot of hats now. I could easily, easily fit in anywhere. A real Sophie's choice. Should I go to Alabama or should I go to Oklahoma? Ooh, two wonderful locales. Our third option was Iowan, or Swatsers. Oh.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Stugots is going to that one for me. Billy, how do you feel about the dolphins on hard knocks for the second half of the season? Mike McDaniel is talking about he is giving voice now to what he's calling the narrative that is a narrative, which is the dolphins have played two good teams and lost to both of them. And his thing is like, okay, that's fine. That's what people will say until we beat a team with a good record. Now they're playing at 9.30 in the morning in Germany against some a team. Not in Germany.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Well, they are playing in Germany, but it won't be 9.30 in the morning. No, it won't be there. Didn't seem like an important correction there. It was hard to get up for that game. Exactly. Like physically hard to get up for that game. For them to bad enough for us. What time is it on their body? It's 9 30 on their body, so it is hard for them. It is a fun game. The chiefs are coming off of a nine point game against Denver where they lost. This would be the best win on the Dolphins resume, although I don't think when you win 70 to 20, any of the
Starting point is 00:10:26 other wins. But transit of property would suggest there are good 60 points better than the chiefs. So what would you, what do you feel about the fact that they are an interesting team? There are a team that people like to watch and has some personality, but I would also say there are team that's being questioned. There are team that many people, this is funny to see, many people are dismissing as a finesse team because they might not be as tough as Philadelphia, even though nobody says tough as Philadelphia. I'm conflicted that they're going be on the in season hard knock situation. Like you wanna see your favorite team on there
Starting point is 00:11:08 because you want, but also like, getting a little tired of Mike McDaniel and the whole cute situation. You know what I mean? Like I'm wondering if it's running its course. I'm really, yeah I'm not super huge on this home Mike McDaniel guy. Billy, what?
Starting point is 00:11:20 I can't answer to you. Yeah. You know what the last straw was for me? The kid, the Halloween costume. I said, no. And that kid really ruined it for me. I said, enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Enough with this mic again. He has something to do with that. No, no, enough. Yeah, there's everything to do with it. Yeah. Creating a crafting of persona that makes kids want to dress up like in the Halloween. He doesn't have to sprint either.
Starting point is 00:11:38 It's just the sneakers and the whole thing. The whole thing. I mean, shirts with his face on it like get over the glasses. So we should wear sunglasses. Bopping his head. Mm his head. I can't tell. I'm laughing because I was legitimately shocked by what Billy was saying. I was surprised to see him rip as the Duke as a, you know, top five international broadcaster and analyst that can be found on God bless football. For him to come out against the dolphin coach who seems wildly popular in town. I don't hear a whole lot of people saying bad stuff about Mike McDaniel, although Steven A Smith told him that he's tired of hearing his mouth.
Starting point is 00:12:21 But Billy also whispered in my ear, helpful, even though I'm staring straight at his chest, he whispered it to me. I'm wearing a Mike McDaniel shirt. Yeah. So this is your fault? Yeah, you are the problem, then, Billy. Yeah. You whipped off.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I told you I'm conflicted, guys. Dolphin from Canada. You whipped off, you're the best. I have to dock Billy a game. What? No! No! Don Lebatard, do you realize that for 30 minutes, now we might not have been doing good
Starting point is 00:12:50 show, but we were doing show for about 30 minutes. And then you just decided to tell the story as if we were in the eating area. Still gots. So many refer to it as a kitchen, right? Eating area. Who calls it an eating area? Nobody. Nobody. Right. Eating area. What calls it an eating area? Nobody.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Nobody. Right. An eating area. What's the bedroom, the sleeping area? Let's hang on. I gotta go to the urinating area. We're right back. Eating area.
Starting point is 00:13:15 This is the Don Lebertar Show with the Stugats. No, Stugats? No. No, Stugats? Stugs is out golfing. Oh, maybe it's because that's what I want to do and I steal every piece of shit from him. It's been a long time since he's accused me of that stupid shit. Well, let's start right there. Hey, best guy. You can hear me, Dan. He is Shiesin I One of the pioneers in changing careers from ESPN and Making a magnificent success of himself by simply stealing all of Stugatz's ideas. That's it That's where I that's why I am where I am today, Dan, but you knew that you know you are the best dad ever That's me right here. That's my, that's my, that's what I got about 10 years ago on Father's Day or eight years ago, so on Father's Day, and
Starting point is 00:14:11 I'm, I feel like I'm undefeated in this regard. A lot of, a lot of challengers over the years, but he maintains his crown. You are also, you guys are doing something here. This is a giant weekend for NFL Network, 20th anniversary, which is kind of stunning by itself. You've got the great game from Germany, Kansas City and the Dolphins, and also, please explain this part to me. You guys are borrowing Arlovsky from ESPN to call the game with you.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Shepter was on NFL game day with you last week. And NBC is broadcasting the game here in Miami. What's happening with this? This is an NFL network exclusive, except it's not. Well, it is an exclusive on NFL network. You're seeing it NBC in Miami because all games that NFL network, airs is shown over the air locally in the two markets that are playing in it. That's just an, I don't know how NBC got it, they must have made a deal or something, but
Starting point is 00:15:12 Kurt Warner, who is with me in the booth in London for two games, and will be in the booth again with me in December for a couple of domestic games that were, we're calling on NFL network later in the month. He couldn't make it to Germany. in December for a couple of domestic games that were we're calling on NFL Network later in the month. He couldn't make it to Germany, so obviously with this matchup being very quarterback, heavy, and centric with my homes and Tua, and these two offenses being what they are, we wanted to get somebody with quarterback knowledge and that's the beauty of you know NFL and the NFL network is where We're partners with everybody as much as we are in certain ways competitors So ESPN I appreciate them saying sure let's get or lofts game your booth for for Saturday for Sunday and
Starting point is 00:16:00 It's gonna be me Dan and Jason McCordy of Good Morning Football as well. So all three of us together, I'm taking off for Frank Ferd after doing my show today, and I'm fired up about it. Can you tell us what you imagined wildest dreams NFL network would be when you got there? Like, what were you imagining all of this would become and has it exceeded all you imagined it would become.
Starting point is 00:16:25 It is exactly what I hope to become, to be straight up with you Dan, but having left ESPN at that time, my head was just completely spinning. I left ESPN late May and long negotiations fell short and I got married on June 7th of that year, and on my honeymoon signed my contract with NFL Network, looking at the Venice Canal from my hotel room window, and I faxed it from the front desk of one of the hotels I was on on my honeymoon. And so my head was completely spinning.
Starting point is 00:17:04 We didn't come on the air against the 20th anniversary of this Saturday until week 10 of that 2003 season. And so I had no idea what it was going to be. I just wanted to make sure it was the best that I could make it whenever I was on camera, which in the very beginning was pretty much like the Truman show, 24, 7, 365. I was the only guy there. So now 20 years later, it's exactly what I had hoped, where I'm now in a booth calling football games for an international series package after the creation of Thursday night
Starting point is 00:17:38 football that I was doing the pregame and half time. And postgame 4 has been spun off to many different networks now completely to a streaming service, which is nuts. Now Sunday mornings, we're now entrenched covering the draft and then a whole bunch of things that we originated from combine coverage to training camp coverage, to pro day coverage, to schedule release shows and things of that nature are now I guess part of the landscape and that's what we wanted at the time. Tell us of the challenges the first couple of months. Oh gosh, distribution.
Starting point is 00:18:14 No question about it. We were on a direct TV and nothing else. So that was about 12 million homes and I was in about 112 million homes on sports center. And I remember my wife who worked with Turner, TNT and NBA on TNT, and she was doing side lines for them, and she was doing a lot of reporting and hosting and anchoring for NBA TV. The NBA All Star Game was here in the spring of 2004, just after we launched a NFL network here in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And I was her plus one for a handful of NBA events. And so I went to some NBA All-Star party here in the old staples, as they would say. And some guy came up to me and said, I watch you every day, and I'm like, great. I immediately crowdsourced him to see how do you take in NFL network? And his response is, what do you mean NFL network? He had never heard of it. He thought I was still on sports center, which I had not been on since the previous May. I informed this gentleman of that development.
Starting point is 00:19:18 He then looked at me, he said, are you all right? I'm like, I could fog up a mirror for you if you'd like. But that was the general sense of things, was distribution. And sometimes I would do sports centers, would stew, and everyone else at two in the morning and have a walk into the Bristol parking lot average time of 3.30 in the morning. And I would do sports center wondering who the hell just saw what I just did. And that was multiplied by a hundred.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Every single time I left a set of NFL network. So that was a major issue. And the distribution wars lasted deep into our first decade. You know, we weren't fully distributed in all cable universes until maybe eight years in. So that was a long slog, including the 2007 moment, which prior to this weekend's game with the dolphins and chiefs, in my mind is the biggest game we've ever had, which was Brady and the Patriots going for a perfect, undefeated regular season in giant stadium. We had that game, and there were so many distribution issues that members of Congress and the US Senate were writing letters to the league to basically threaten them to broadcast the game in many different ways.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And that wound up being like an exclusive broadcast for us that we're excited about. And it turned into the state of the union. It was on in four different ways. So that was going on early on. That would be my easy answer was distribution and viewership rich how long did it take for people to stop affiliating your associating with the espn because i'm going through this now where people say i'll watch you guys all the time i said yeah i was like yeah love you you perk
Starting point is 00:20:57 richard Jefferson like i haven't been on that show like three years yeah you know what um i it hasn't stopped um uh. I called two games in London last month walking through the airport here in LAX, somebody hung the sports center theme at me, which is great. I don't at all discount that part of my life. I met my wife there, my three children or technically, babies because of it. It was an amazing seven years of my life, my relationship with that network is something I do not discount or in any way shape or form take for granted. It was an amazing time for me. And I still cherish so many of the relationships with people that I made there. But it hasn't stopped. And I think it's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:21:45 It's just wild to me when I'm at school events. And parents of kids who are in my kids' classes are coming up to me saying they watched me and steward or linda cone or Kenny Mayn or Dan Patrick or keep going on and on when they were getting ready for school. And here I am at a school event for our mutual children. So it's pretty wild and I kind of dig it.
Starting point is 00:22:10 I love it. I make you pick one and only one. Best sports center anchor of all time is blank. Best sports center anchor of all time. I come on man, you can't just choose one. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it according to you. But yes, of course, different flavors, but just craftsmanship,
Starting point is 00:22:28 sense of humor, range, the things that you like and admire, you pick one. I will go, I'm not going to just pick one. I'll go Dan and Keith. I mean, they are, they are, they are the best at it. And many different ways. That's why they were perfect together. Dan with his dry sense of humor and Keith with his sense of sarcasm. I'll never forget when I first started at ESPN, Dan, I did a sports center with KO, and he was for one of only a few times not at the ideas meeting that we would have to lead off the day. And so he would always lead those meetings. He was the de facto executive editor of the broadcast that he was hosting. And so we were going to do a home-cooked piece, as they say,
Starting point is 00:23:16 which is a producer's inside the Bristol building would create a script or create a piece about filling the blank. And the fill in the blank was something to do with games, oh yes, game seven goalies in Stanley Cup history. And some of the best performances by the goalies in Stanley Cup game seven history. And everyone was going around the room and trying to figure out who would be mentioned in this piece.
Starting point is 00:23:41 And Keith wasn't there. So everybody just tabled it. It said, we'll ask Keith when he comes in. And I remember where I was in the old, it was an old, old version of what's, the buildings are right now in, in Bristol. And I'm sitting at one of these tables and Keith walks in with books underneath his arm.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I mean, all the way out to here, I had no idea what it was, a bunch of encyclopedias or whatever. And he had a pipe in his mouth and somebody says, Hey Keith, we're doing this piece about these golees. And he goes, well, 1930 something or other New York Rangers. Before there were masks, gole takes a puck off the face. Assistant coach comes off the bench, finishes a shut out in game five, shut out and game six, shut out and game seven. I'll write the piece. I've got a photograph of him at my desk and I will put him over my shoulder for the
Starting point is 00:24:30 lead in and you kept walking. And I thought to myself, holy smokes, I have a long way to go to even get in the realm of that. That was wild. And then of course, he nailed it and it was great. And then Dan Patrick in his own way, a certain set of brilliance that he still has today, from knowledge and humor and delivery and understatedness. And so I got to split the, I got to split the Adam here. That's fine. That's fine. But we're
Starting point is 00:24:58 out of time. So we have 20 seconds left. Legitimately. 20 seconds. Who's better dolphins or chiefs I'm calling the game. I got to be straight down the middle here Literally in 24 hours. I'm meeting with the dolphins and 36 hours the chiefs. No, I'm, but I'm genuinely excited. I've been lighting candles for everyone's health for the last month. The last thing I wanted straight up was Mike White versus my homes, you know, and, and Tua led with his friggin head at one point against the Patriots last week and I screamed at the television set, but it seems everyone, you know, is mostly healthy, and I am very excited about it later on on this weekend.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Didn't work. My home's got the flu. No. What? Lightmore candles next time. No, he got the flu last week. He got the flu last week. He's through it.
Starting point is 00:26:00 How dare you? How dare you? Who's disembodied voice is trying to reign of my parade? He hosts the rich guys. He hosts the rich guys show weekdays from 12 to 3 on serious XM and with us on the Roku channel. Thank you, sir. Adios. Take care, gents. Don Lebertard. You are very comfortable talking about how you met your wife, how much you love her, how important she is to you. And that's the reason that I asked the question. I've always admired that about you. That you are and you have no problems whatsoever professing your love.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Well, the thing is, I got a new wife now. Me and Bianca didn't make it. So I moved on. We moved on. It was for the better. The both of us still got things. Just got a little awkward there. So let me be the first on this show to congratulate you on the new wife. Vance, congratulations on on feeling whole feeling complete. You know. Let's talk tailgating. Yeah. Don't be don't feel awkward, buddy. I don't know. I don't have too late. It's much too late for that sense. I appreciate you soothing me in this regard, but I already feel terribly awkward.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And then my teammate comes to my defense with not a question, but just a healthy congratulations. And the further pointing out of that awkwardness because he's always good for me in those spots. I'm also thinking of divorce vince after many, many years, 18 years with a partner who does things like that to you. This is the Don Lebatars show with the Stougats. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Rich Eyes really doesn't like that Stougats
Starting point is 00:27:41 once accused Rich Eyes in of stealing his take. He's holding on to that one. I mean, he can let go of that. Did that make the cut? I mean, Stugat's can let go of it because he made it seem like Stugat's did that once. No, this is a recurring thing with Stugat. He doesn't let that one go. Rich Eisen doesn't think it's funny.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Well, I mean, but it could be a layered thing, right? So Rich Eisen could have not stolen Stugat's thing, right? So then there's no likelihood he didn't. No, but then there's the two part thing that Rich Eisen has to kind of accept is one, he did not steal Stugat's thing to him and Stugat's coming up with multiple takes that are the same makes him not that dissimilar. Yeah. So he has that internal struggle to deal with. So like he could either accept that he's a thief or he could accept that he thinks exactly the same way Stu got's does. And it's not good options. That's a Sophie's choice.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It's how Stu got's always wins. I am seeing in our cameras here. I am seeing on our televisions that Tony looks like Halloween leftovers. He is out on the street. I don't know exactly where he is. And a lot of people are staring at him. Billy, you're laughing. He looks great. Like, this is the best he's looked in a long time. Well, he does look great. He does look great. However, the stubble makes him look like a Peter Pan who's a, who just is less clean than Peter Pan should be. Falling on hard times.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah, thank you. Yes, a Peter Pan who is falling on hard times. Or as Jessica likes to call him, Robin Hood. Well, they're both little green guys, right? Kind of gives off the vibes from the giant and Disney's Jack and the Beanstalk cartoon. You guys are, oh, that's a compliment. Tony looks like physically like he's in great shape. Like I told him he looks like a bad character wrestler today. But that was a compliment. Congrats on the mass, bro.

So I don't really know, we could have done a better statue, maybe a Peter Pan would have
