Starting point is 00:01:20 I made the turn and I was trying to pass the guy, cause it's one of those two lanes turn, but only one gets onto the on-ramp. I passed the guy to get to the ramp first. And I just glanced over the screen and I was like at 88. And I was like, what? I'm going back to the future here? I just wanted to just zoom ahead of him.
Starting point is 00:01:41 It picks up so fast. The fastest I've ever been, there's a stretch of highway from Phoenix to Vegas, it's the middle of the desert, it's a straight line, you can see everything. So if there's a cop, you can see him seven miles away. And there are no cars out there, and I said, let me gun, I went 110 on it.
Starting point is 00:01:58 And I'm gonna tell you something, at 110, like, you know how, like, if you're driving at 50 miles an hour and then you go to 70, it kinda looks the same. Like, you don't- 110 is another speed. 110, you're like, I'm going fast. So, Tesla Talk, I have a buddy of mine who has an X. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Suped up X. Yeah, yeah. That's like the highest- It's the, yeah, it's the second highest one. The highest one is the S, right? The S is the muscle right the s is though is the the Muscle car for them right and then the X is the is the nice right so he has the X but the but the nice one right and It was a New Year's Eve night. We were coming home at like 430 in the morning. We're on the dolphin
Starting point is 00:02:39 I'm not gonna say how fast I was going but we were on the dolphin and he's like gun it because there's nobody years at Four I was I was sober. I hadn't been drinking. I didn't drink whatsoever. I wouldn't tell the story if I was It's just saving a beat. It's just my opinion. What was this? This is when I was sober Remember I did dry twenty three dry twenty three last year. Well, I know I'm just trying to yeah out here No, no dry completely dry. I like how you guys think law enforcement is like we got him go I like how you guys think law enforcement is like we got him go go go go go and he's Just for optics. It's it's not for law enforcement. It's it's for the reddit Well, it was it was New Year's Eve night. It was very very very late at night, but he told me to gun it and I gunned it I'm not gonna say how fast I was going but there was nobody in the road and
Starting point is 00:03:19 Dude, when you when you hit the gas and it pulls you back it's an insane feeling because Because it doesn't have that, like, the delay. The engine, right. The delay of a regular gas engine. It goes, argh! And then you're like, OK, now we're going fast. It's like that second it takes a pain to get to your brain. Yep.
Starting point is 00:03:36 There's none of that. It's instant. It pulls you back. You'd be surprised how strong the pull is when that thing starts going. Don't like it. Drill, baby drill. I take petrol in my Williamson Cadillac.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Williamson is Miami. I love that I don't know anything about the actual Joe Zagache. You don't need to. Like everything I know is just through the lens of this show. Zagache. Keep it that way. Joe's a local legend. Wouldn't you agree, Mike? Local legend or is that too strong? is just through the lens of this show. Zagacki. Yeah, keep it that way.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Joe's a local legend. Wouldn't you agree, Mike? Local legend or is that too strong? Joe Zagacki is a local legend. It's not too strong. It's probably understated. Joe Zagacki, who I found out, not my biggest fan. For obvious reasons.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And this was before he became complicated legacy, Joe Zagacki, and it was just played straight Joe Zagacki trying to do an homage to him. No, not my biggest fan. Wait a second. So he's aware of your existence. Oh yeah. Acutely aware.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And if he didn't hate it before it took this turn the last few months. Before it became complicated legacy Joe Zagacki. I mean, but I already became complicated legacy Joe Zagacki after I knew for quite a while that he wasn't a big fan of the bit So what came first him not liking me Okay, that makes sense
Starting point is 00:04:56 Speaking of things that make sense. Did you guys see Drake's chain? He's got a pendant I thought I was getting trolled yesterday with this. I thought this is an April Fool's joke. It's not? Let's lay the groundwork here. The dumbest thing I've ever seen. There's been obviously from- CDs are back. Oh, come on. Stemming from the diss with Kendrick and Future and J. Cole and Drake and how everybody's drawing lines in the sand
Starting point is 00:05:19 and being on what side of what, Drake put this chain out there and go watch it on our YouTube, or on DraftKings. It says to be a- Let us paint a very vivid picture for you. It's a heart. It's supposed to be a heart. It's an upside down heart.
Starting point is 00:05:34 An upside down misshapen heart with veins. That has a lot of veins on it. Yeah, one's lower than the other one too. Yeah. A little lower. No, no, those are testicles. That is a-
Starting point is 00:05:44 It's balls. They're balls. That is a balls sack. It's a balls pendant that he gave. Is this an April Fools' gang? No, this is real. He gave it to 21 Savage, I think Sexy Red, Aiden Ross, and somebody else for staying true and being on his side of the beef. Wow, Aiden Ross got one. Yeah, Aiden Ross got one.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Dude, what is the deal with that guy? Aiden Ross? Yeah. What do you mean? Well, I stream he's one of the most famous streamers. I know him as the guy that reacted to that one freestyle I just oh, yeah, Tori Lanes were now. That was good But isn't a den Rossa person that like confirmed the video that was out there on social media of what video? I don't know what you speak of, you know Oh the Drake video What video I don't know what you speak of you know Oh
Starting point is 00:06:25 the Drake video Wait, so the the thing was a company's a ball sack. Is that what we're talking? Yeah. Yeah Ross is plugged in to the culture in a way that you know, others aren't is he yeah I mean if you get it isn't if he's getting a chain from Drake I feel like you're pretty plugged in. Yeah, I just, I don't know because you know, they used to say that like Drake gave you a verse. That means you're pretty plugged in. He gave Fetty Wapa verse though. So I don't know. Fetty had a moment. Man, 1738. You know that. You know that. Stop. I'm just saying that it was, he showed. It was a great album.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Shine bright for like just an instant. And the next thing I know he's on Love and Hip Hop. And I'm like, that's too, next thing I know he's on love and hip-hop and like That's too. Wait a second. That's too fast No, but in all reality the streamers that do stuff on twitch and stuff are massive stars kaisen at yeah Aiden Ross and the list goes on again. I'm not gonna mention guys. You guys don't know Tony tonight Tony's I mean, that's obvious, but which are coming up later, but when when you're in the room and Having people talk about you in a certain way and you're connected to these guys that are just massive stars Yeah massive huge huge stars big
Starting point is 00:07:35 Juicy stars. Yeah, not you and I right Mike with a light blue huge whom I mean the lighting probably helped every time I hear about it was AI right every time I hear about, He was AI right? Every time I hear about like streamers, like for instance the number one place I figure this out is All Star Weekend, the celebrity game. Because first of all it's like who are these people? And then for the rest of the weekend you see hordes of people taking pictures of like oh who is that? Is that like Denzel Washington walking?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Like, nope. And it's always a weird name like Cody Jamiroquai. I'm like, who's Cody Jamiroquai? Oh, fuck. What a band. Most people think it's just a guy. It's not just a guy. Everyone thought it was a guy with a furry hat.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Yeah. There's a band with a guy with a furry hat. But Greg, if I'm completely bewildered by celebrity of people who I don't know what they do, other than react to what other people do, how are you processing this? I am not. It's bewildering to me.
Starting point is 00:08:40 It looks like a set of balls, right? That did, yeah, a ball sack. Yeah, but in terms of streamers as superstars, I just... Wait, is a scrotum just a ball sack? I thought the scrotum was like the entire experience. No, no, no. It's just a sack. Just a sack of scrotum.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh, because I don't know why I was thinking like kind of undercarriage with scrotum. What's the matter, McFly? Got no scrote? That's from Back to the Future 2. The basic taunt them say you ain't got no balls. I guess I thought that that was a reference of balls because he didn't finish the word oh so the um yeah the um yeah and the scrotum
Starting point is 00:09:12 just I don't know why I like that the different parts not to interrupt I was just curious if you knew that those were very clearly balls oh yeah no I see them on the back of pickup trucks all the time and it's very bewildering. Why do people do that? It's just, it's so rude. It's so gross. It's not even rude. Rub it or leave it.
Starting point is 00:09:32 What is it supposed to signify? Like my truck? I'm gonna vote for Trump. I'm a man. I'm so much of a man that my truck has balls. Even my truck has balls. Big balls. Big, big balls.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Huge balls. Cajones, as they say in some parts of the world. Or scrub. truck in my truck has balls big balls big big balls Cajones as they say in some parts of Yeah, I thought it was I didn't know that it was just the testes Yeah, that's another gave one to Jay Cole too. So Cole allegedly Allegedly what I'm looking at sexy red jay Cole 21 Savage and Aiden Ross for never switching up, they get this pendant. Let me ask you guys this question. But it's balls. He's alleging that this is a heart. He knows what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:10:11 No way. You guys had a lot of balls standing up to Kendrick Lamar, who's four feet tall. That is also not what an actual heart looks like. No, not an actual heart. So if you're going to go as far to put veins on the heart, you're going to actually make it look like an actual heart because the actual heart has veins. Let me ask you guys a question This is a real not dilemma. I've made my decision But I thought twice and three times about it. So this weekend is Dreamville fest in Raleigh, North Carolina
Starting point is 00:10:36 I believe tickets are still available. They just released a limited allotment, but I've been going to this every year and this year I'm not going because my child has an AEU tournament. And at first it was like, this is easy, not going. Kid's playing in a tournament, gotta be there for the kid. And then they said 50 was gonna be performing and I was like, okay, hold on.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I started looking up flight times and trying to see if there was a way where I could go and come back. For whatever reason, me and the tickets aren't available and you're looking at the secondary market, boy do I have an app for you. Really? Yeah, yeah, why don't you do me a favor? What's that?
Starting point is 00:11:17 Do yourself a favor and download the Game Time app, create an account and use code Dan for $20 off your first purchase, term supply minute last minute tickets lowest price Guaranteed wait a second Mike So low price guarantee the wild right low price guarantee But I've seen these before great they give you a low price guarantee and then when you come to check out There are all these extra fees and stuff going on. I mean look game time are there fees of course their fees But they're not gonna catch you by surprise.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Don't you hate that? Yeah. Don't you hate when you go to the checkout line? Of course. All of a sudden you're getting hit with all these surprises. No, no, no, upfront pricing from Game Time. And again, lowest price guaranteed. I've actually tried it out before.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I've been like, hey, Game Time, I've been alerted that some friends got this other deal. Oh really, here's that plus more. Game Time, promo code Dan, $20 off your first purchase. It is the favorite of mine when I go for secondary market tickets. You do yourself a favor. Concerts and everything, huh?
Starting point is 00:12:17 Concerts, events, sporting events. I've used Game Time at least three times in the month of March. How about that? I heard you went to a Joey Fatone concert. I did go to a Joey Fatone concert. Just him solo? No, I got those tickets as soon as they went on sale,
Starting point is 00:12:30 so I didn't need game time for that one. But it was Joey Fatone and AJ McLean of Backstreet Boys. The disrespect you're showing AJ there by just calling it a Joey Fatone concert. Well, it should be told, just like the Kansas City punter, I wasn't 100% sure on how to pronounce AJ's last name. So McLean, because it's not spelled like, you know, Bruce Willis and Dylard.
Starting point is 00:12:53 John McLean? Yeah, so, but yeah, it was both of them. It was, you know, Joey from Nsync, AJ famously from Backstreet Boys. They would take turns performing their songs, each other's songs, it was even a karaoke version. They're meaning their band songs or they have solo acts?
Starting point is 00:13:11 No, AJ had like two solo songs because he's got an album to promote, but it was mainly like a big sing-along to NSYNC and Backstreet Boys songs. Were there impractical jokers there? No, not that I noticed, but there were a lot of women that were giving me a lot of attention. I went up to get a drink at one point and I asked my wife, are you sure? Are you sure you want me to
Starting point is 00:13:31 go get this drink? Over $200,000 spending babysitter fees alone that night. It was an incredible crowd. Hey friends, it's Mike Ryan and a lot has changed over the years.

Discover over 100,000 unforgettable travel experiences in the US and around the world at getyourguide.com. Greg Cody, you've been aware of the Greg Cody region. Now, what were your favorite clips, just off the top of your head,
Starting point is 00:16:02 that you're hoping to make a run deep in this tournament? Oh gosh, I don't, you know, I don't wanna. Alright, thanks for nothing. Alright, he has no clue. I don't wanna taint the jury. I'm not gonna take a quiz, basically. No, I don't wanna taint the jury. You know, everything that comes out of my mouth
Starting point is 00:16:16 is pure gold, so I can't, I don't wanna purchase a jury. Name two clips that we played. I have no idea. Really, that's just awful by you. Alright, matchup number one, the one seed. Greg Cody in Vegas. This is a heartfelt one. Usually we go for laughs. The One Seed is the lovely cruise at our Vegas show. Yeah, that's a good one. Vote for that one, everybody. I'm sorry it's ending. All right, you get the idea.
Starting point is 00:17:12 It's so heartfelt that also, yeah. Well, we've played it a few times now. I don't wanna be redundant. Who's he going up against? He is going up against Nine Seed. It's Greg. I'm Greg. I like the brevity.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Could be an upset. Make him look like a star. I'm Greg. And there it is. A worthy opponent, a nine seed. Mike Ryan doesn't like that one. Really? He's got a strong front line.
Starting point is 00:17:45 All right, match up number, next match up, Four Seed, the birth of, and you know it. Not close to that. Had two of us stayed healthy, that prediction would have come true. Okay. And you know it. And you know it. I don't know it.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And I don't know why you think. And you know it. And you know it. And you know it. And you know it. Get that shirt on the GregCodyShow.com. Thinkin' of the thing. And you know it. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:18:12 What? There's no comeback. Yeah, and you know it. You're at a loss for words, Dan. You have to. And you know it. And you know it. And you do.
Starting point is 00:18:22 You know it. So God knows it. And you know it. So God knows it. And you know it. And you know it. A healthy tour and the Dolphins are having a parade down Biscayne Boulevard. Elbowing to Ethan. And you know it.
Starting point is 00:18:33 And you know it. And you know it. Don't finish it that way, Greg. Pants next. To me, the winner of the Greg Cody region comes out of this matchup right here. It's either the birth of An You you know it or nice hat asshole. Can't trade Marino. Nice hat. It's what he's most known for. It's like I'm holding on to it. Do you remember what Scott Mitchell looked like in that next game after Marino got hurt? They were nine and two.
Starting point is 00:18:57 They were nine and two. Amazing. And then they lost their last five and missed the playoffs. Nice hat. They were nine and two. but it's Moreno. And then the next time we saw Moreno, after Greg Cody traded him, he threw for five touchdowns. And he was Jan the Man on the cover of Sports Illustrated. You can't trade Moreno. Nice hat, asshole. Can't trade Moreno.
Starting point is 00:19:20 That is a perfect clip. And I know this is a Greg Cody clip, but also salute to Jonathan Zaslow. He does a lot there to carry that. Who strayed out of central casting as Joe's sports host. Oh my god. With the jersey that's not quite old enough to be a throwback, it's just old.
Starting point is 00:19:37 To the possible rosacea, to the backwards stretch fit cap, it's just perfect. No notes. He is sports radio, right there. Greg, I want to ask you, and you know it, was that ad-libbed in the moment or had you been workshopping them? It's been saying it my whole life. That's the first time I said it on the air though. On air though. Right, no, on air, but that has been one of his things. And you know it, my whole life.
Starting point is 00:20:01 It's a beautiful rejoinder. You know, it fits almost anywhere in any situation. And it's tough to respond to. All right, we're moving on here. Matchup C in this region is the three seed versus the six seed. The three seed is Greg Classic in Vegas. I don't miss my wife. Are there any good Greg Cody stories
Starting point is 00:20:22 not told by Greg Cody about Greg Cody before we get him out of here? I have a couple but I'm not telling them. Baby! That's my guy. That kind of thing, you know what I'm saying? We don't. You know what?
Starting point is 00:20:34 I hadn't left the hotel until last night. I'm a very quiet man. Yes. You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife despite that gratuitous line in... That you wrote. That you wrote. That I wrote. I wish you were here, my wife.
Starting point is 00:20:49 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.
Starting point is 00:21:01 You just said you do miss her. I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds. What am I? Hello, all right. All right, we'll see you. All right. And then I'm going to see her in the phone with her for 30 seconds. You know, what am I, hello, all right, all right, we'll see ya. All right, and then, you know, I'm gonna see her in two days, how's jumping Charlie? Good.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And that's it. It's so good. How's jumping Charlie? Good. All right, so that is going up again. Six seed, paranoid Greg refusing to do it back in my day. Oh, are we doing this now? No, I'll get cut off at this point. It's too late. It's too late in the segment.
Starting point is 00:21:26 No, no, no, I'm not going there. We make concessions for the clock. No, you're gonna cut me off. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. No, I am NOT. I'm not doing all right. I don't do the cutting off. I'm gonna... you realize in a minute and 20 seconds, I will be like halfway through it. You'll cut me off. No, I won't. And everybody will laugh and I will be genuinely Greg we can move the clocks around so that we can finish this yeah we'll go a shorter segment on the next ball that's what you say now and I don't believe you I don't believe you whenever I ever lied to you many times when it comes to a cheap laugh on this show no I'm not gonna I'm not gonna have back in my day interrupted twice I I'm just not gonna do it.
Starting point is 00:22:05 That kind of thing, and you know it. Not gonna do it, and you know it. And there that was. That's the matchup. I mean, I think that- There that was. Very flemmy and you know it at the end there, by the way. It was.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I think I don't miss my wife. I don't miss my wife should have an easy matchup there. Really? For me. Yeah. I think Paranoid Greg is- Really? That was one of my favorites. Okay. Yeah. And now two should have an easy matchup there really me. Yeah, I'm the paranoid Greg really I was one of my favorite Okay, yeah, and now two seed our final matchup in the Greg region the two seed is Greg making a magnum condom revelation What do I got here? I got a magnum condom
Starting point is 00:22:39 We won't get that out Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old. Right next to the condom. That's a subtle reminder. Never forget. Just something I don't want to ever think about my dad with the condom. That is going up against Seven Seed during our watch along where we ruin the dolphin season. Greg Cody getting annoyed with us wake him up
Starting point is 00:23:07 He doesn't want he doesn't want to be bothered anymore now. It's getting tense because he didn't need that as a result he needs something Can we bother are we bothering you right now turn on your microphone my microphones on When my microphone is on you Me I microphone. My microphone's on. When my microphone is on, you guys have to come to me. I mean, don't tell me to turn my, you told me to leave my microphone on. I did. So don't tell me turn your microphone on when it's on. Paint the scene. The paint the scene is I got to go to work. Good night. Paint the scene. He's going to be pissed. He's going to drive home. Greg, on a scale of one to 10, how annoyed you very Very yeah, that was a great bit by us. They really looked like you were in a press box
Starting point is 00:23:48 Yeah, you should have been up like facing the the green screen. Yeah, it would have been in hindsight You were facing the opposite direction Just saw the back of your head. I know in a press box I will generally face the field so that I can see what's going on. You got to get your work done Yeah, but that is all distractions the Greg Cody region of March Madness And it's presented by get your guide discover over a hundred thousand unforgettable travel experiences in the US and around the world at get your guide calm I Mean we're still doing show. I like you were like
Starting point is 00:24:22 He was being my Vanna white for I wanted to yeah, I like to you like, he forgot he was hosting. He was being my Vanna White for a second. I wanted to, yeah, I like to service the sponsors. You hear it, but for the video audience, it's like, oh yeah, we got a nice little logo here in the top right corner of our screen. So, you know, just thought I'd just add to the experience a little bit. I want to know why during the break I heard Jeremy and my dad talking about Rembrandt.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Oh, that's because Rembrandt's a sellout. The main thing I learned on my honeymoon was about art because we went to London and Amsterdam. I see the look that Mike and Tony are giving each other. I learned about sex. Come on, one guy, I learned a lot more. I already knew it. Mind of Fat Science.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Oh, hey! My man. The thing that I learned was, so we spent time in both London and Amsterdam. So I went to the National Gallery in London and then the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. And there are lots of paintings from both Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
Starting point is 00:25:20 And what I realized is that there's a semblance of a rivalry between these two if you want to create a narrative. Because Van Gogh, ultimately he did it for the love of the game. At 27 years old. Love of himself, I would say. At 27 years old, Van Gogh decided to just disregard everything else in his life, quit his job,
Starting point is 00:25:40 quit everything that he had going on, and just become a painter because he really loved art. Not because of that, you know why? Look at me, Louie. Anybody who cuts off their ear. Well, he was having a full on mental breakdown. Yeah, break all the way down to be, look at me, Louie. Well, I mean, he did do a lot of self portraits.
Starting point is 00:26:02 There's an entire room in his museum that's just self portraits. All day giveaway. But Van Gogh did it for the love of the game, love of the art. Rembrandt, on the other hand, Rembrandt figured out really early on how to capitalize on his art.
Starting point is 00:26:17 So he was good at portraits, not necessarily self portraits, but he was really good at portraits and had done a lot of portraits of biblical figures because that was initially what people wanted in art at the time. But then the rich people in society started requesting portraits of themselves. Paint me! And the moment he figured out that these rich people wanted portraits, that was all he did. He quit every other type of art that he was doing. He only painted portraits. He accepted all of this extra money for that
Starting point is 00:26:47 while he was alive and then immediately decided, I'm gonna start having mentees who have to pay me top dollar to learn from me. And you know what I'm gonna do with them? I'm gonna start just doing the sketches of these people in their portraits and I'm gonna have my mentees paint them. A total paint them a total fraud a Total sellout van Gogh did it for the love of the game Rembrandt Rembrandt's essentially if you look at an artist
Starting point is 00:27:11 It's not sort of selling out. He's he's Dr. He's Chris Pratt is that someone who could have really stuck to their lane been really great at what they did been an artist and instead Sell out go do Marvel movies ridiculous Rembrandt Rembrandt. Rembrandt. So you want a starving artist thing. Yeah man.
Starting point is 00:27:28 So why not you do podcasts for the love of the game. I did for like years. Keep doing it. He's not even employees. I'm still part time. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Ha ha ha.

Look, let's be real. I've been sweating a lot in my armpits and I think it's tied to anxiety. So I started doing these wipes and now I'm not sweating underneath there. But the problem is it's drying me out completely. I'm bleeding through my nose a lot. So to counter balance this, I'm drinking a lot of water. But these wipes have saved my life. However, my nose does not stop bleeding. Stugats!
Starting point is 00:28:27 I'm so glad we got to armpits because I've been wondering this today, but I didn't know how to bring it up. Do any of you ever use the opposite genders deodorant? Like, do you ever use women's deodorant? Oh, dude, you should see my bathroom. I'm doing it today. I smell beautiful. Billy, you're going to love this. Every NBA locker room, every NBA locker room, all love women's deodorant. Finally, the insider gives us something! This is the Dan LeBattar Show with the StuGats.
Starting point is 00:29:00 So I had a dream last night and rarely do I remember my dreams. I know in the time I have them I remember them, but then throughout the day I kind of forget and whatever There was one dream that I had specifically last night very quick dream It felt like I was at Mike's house Right Mike had just put his house up on the market and it sold very quickly The thing is I don't know exactly to whom but it was somebody who works here. Ah, but it wasn't Dan It was somebody in our midst. Okay, not Dan not Stu gots that bought the house Mike was very upset that they had bought the house even though the check cleared even the money was good
Starting point is 00:29:34 He was like, why would this person buy my house? I don't get it. And now he's mad for real Yeah that thinking about somebody buying his house and so Mike was like I'm gonna sell my house But then now he feels a little offended that someone he knows bought that yeah I don't want that situation at all sounds like the EP seat Remorse as nightmare situation you put so much care Into a place or position. I mean you nurture it you put a lot of yourself into it and Then someone else from inside the show treats it with such a disrespect
Starting point is 00:30:07 and not the same type of care that you did. Who wouldn't be bothered by that? Just as an aside though, let's follow this dream scenario out where one of you guys were to actually buy my house. I think I would legitimately hate that. Really? Yeah, I would. Who would you least like to buy your house
Starting point is 00:30:27 out of everywhere? There isn't a single one, well probably Roy, just because he would be texting me in green text, but there isn't a single one of you that I would want owning my home, just because think about what happens, it's cliche, when you first move into a place, everything breaks at first, right?
Starting point is 00:30:44 You gotta do so many repairs when you move into a place, everything breaks at first, right? You got to do so many repairs when you move into a home, it happened to my home. And I know that I wish that I could complain to the previous owner, but there was a separation there. Why would I text you for something that's my responsibility now? Well, because most people, if they would have access, and I guarantee you knowing your proclivity to complain about things, if the AC broke within three months of buying my home I guarantee you I'm gonna hear about it I would hear about it from any of you and I don't want to hear about
Starting point is 00:31:13 it because when I sell clean separation not my problem just like it was a previous homeowners problem when I had to fix a bunch of things too this happens I there's a reason why you generally don't have the contact of the person you bought the house from. It's so they can get the heck out of that. This is the honor system. I can attest to this because when I moved in, I had these thermostats that the old owner had,
Starting point is 00:31:38 and so I was like, oh, let me download the app and so I can set my temperature or whatever. Yes, I've had this problem too. And it's like, oh, you need the code. I'm like, where do I get the code from? From the previous owner. Bad news. Disassemble, you have to unplug these things. It's a whole deal.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Yeah, it's a whole rigmarole. Yeah, I don't want to hear about it. I'm going to be getting your mail too for a while. I'm going to hear about that. It's undeniable that I would be hearing from you constantly about things going on with my old house. Did I open this on accident? Also,
Starting point is 00:32:11 Hey Mike, your jugs magazine subscription is running out. You need to. That's also, It's your responsibility to change your address, by the way. It's your responsibility to change your address. Look at Roy, he's already getting mad at moving into my house.
Starting point is 00:32:23 He hasn't, when he initially denied it. Roy you are proving why you are the least likely of the contenders here. You and your green text texting me about my jugs magazine. No, no, no. We're not having this right now. Also another thing, there are things that I do in that house that I don't want you having to think about me doing in that house. Deep clean. How about that? If I blank in one room, look, if you're moving in my house,
Starting point is 00:32:50 safe to assume, I've blanked there. I've blanked all over the place. Shooting blanks. Whoa. Not really. I mean, he has a kid, so. Yeah, but it is just the one. You would think if you're blanking where somebody else blanked, but then you know the person that blanked where you're also blanking
Starting point is 00:33:08 I don't want to do that. Yeah, I don't know Anonymity In the air there is like a heat signature There's an aura that hangs even after the deep cleans the changing changing of the carpet, the new furniture. The staging of the place. It's still there, lurking, watching, judging. In the pool where he's been in the pool? Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I don't know if he's been in there naked or not. I don't know. I have a specific bathroom I like to take a dump in. Really? That's my dumping bathroom. Really? You're gonna take a dump in. And it turns into somebody else's dumping bathroom.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Reverse engineering, just bad juju for my dumps. That's why when I buy your house I'm gonna level it and rebuild. I just want the property. You want the land huh? Yeah I just want the land. He can afford it. I thought you were about to tell me where you've blanked in your house. It's like don't need to know that. All over the house baby. The garage. Because we know where you've blanked in his house. Well didn't Chris also blank in your garage? Yeah. You caught him once. On the front lawn, the whole bit. Front lawn? Yeah, but over on the side of the house, between the houses. Haven't done it in the garage.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Really? It's just moist. It's hot. It's already a moist experience. I don't need to add more moisture. Yeah, but the ambiance in there is great. Although I have these air deodorizers there, the buckets, highly recommend.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Do that for your garages down here in South Florida. 100%. Oh my God, now I just. It'll come with a house. Now I'm thinking about what else is in the buckets. This is like weird, it's amazing technology. You keep the seal on top, put all these little pebbles. I'm in at Greg's house.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Oh. Oh. Mike, you going to WrestleMania this weekend? Going to WrestleMania, yeah, I'm leaving on Friday. It's an annual trip that I like to take with my friends. Where is it? I'm not too happy about this. It's a city that I've actually never spent any time in
Starting point is 00:34:53 outside of the airport, which is a bottom three airport I've ever been in. I hate that airport. This is a rough airport. I never wanted to go to Philly, and I was really upset when Philly got announced, but I'm gonna make the most of it. And there's something to be said for
Starting point is 00:35:10 WrestleMania picking a city that you would never go yourself otherwise. So I'm gonna make the most of it. But I'm of the thinking as someone that has survived two Northeast outdoor WrestleMania's because now there's a big deal pro wrestling is cool again they have these at stadiums this is gonna be held at Lincoln Financial field link not a retractable roof but why why do they choose these locations again this is like NBA levels of yeah well now people are bidding on WrestleMania's I think the next WrestleMania might it's
Starting point is 00:35:43 reportedly even though thank God thank God, thank God, it's in a retractable roof stadium, Minnesota is in the mix for next year's. And now I've never been to Minnesota, I've never wanted to go to Minnesota. Minnesota's, when the weather's nice, is actually a really fun place to be. Right, everyone says when the weather's nice,
Starting point is 00:36:00 April should be nice. Have you looked at the forecast? Let me ask you a question. Have you looked at the forecast for Philadelphia? Not nice. Is it what? It's not nice. Have you looked at the forecast? Let me ask you a question. Have you looked at the forecast for Philadelphia? Not nice. What is it? It's not nice.
Starting point is 00:36:07 50 degrees? Not, no. I wish. 55 maybe at high noon, but in the evening when this event gets going, when you hear, if you smell, it's gonna be touching 40 degrees out there. Frigid.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Those are freezing temperatures, my guy. I wanna be out there. I'm gonna be out there for four hours freezing my Drake gifts off. No, no, no. They need to ban outdoor Northeast WrestleMania's. And it's not just for me, the performers. I'm not sure if you're aware of ring attire these days, but you're asking these people to perform out there in 40 degree weather. That's just brutal.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Everything hurts more in 40 degree weather. Oh, that's even slapped in the cold? Yeah. Like on the back or whatever? You got a six pack ladder match. That cold ladder falling on top of you? My God, pal, these poor performers. Poor me having to watch this.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Let me ask you a question. Nah, I have the same question. Pats or genos? Knee-in. There's I have the same question. Pat's or Gino's? Neither. There's a whole, was it Tony Luke's? Is that a thing? Tony Luke's, yeah. I'm going too thirsty.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I'm a Woodrow's kind of guy. I'm gonna tell you right now, man. I'm gonna just get me to Xfinity Live, where everyone's gonna be watching the final four, I imagine beforehand, and I'm gonna ask for the main TV change to Katz Bruins. And then I'll go into Lincoln Financial Field, and I'll have the greatest time of my life.
Starting point is 00:37:27 But it's gonna be until we dip below 48 degrees and then I'm gonna be miserable about it. I was just about to say, oh now I know what I'm gonna break my fast with today. I'm gonna get some good old cheese stick then I remembered I gotta go to a heat game. Heat next tonight guys. See you there, big one.
Starting point is 00:37:42 This is a big one, right? Like the heat are still trying to claw. Are they clawing or is the clawing stopped? Have they accepted the fate? No, guys. See you there. Big one. This is a big one, right? Like the Heat are still trying to claw. Are they clawing or is the clawing stopped? Have they accepted defeat? The clawing is there. Clawing's there. But of the games this week, there are four games this week. We have the Knicks tonight, but then it's Philly on Thursday,
Starting point is 00:37:56 the Rockets on Friday, which you can accept second night of a back-to-back on the road. That's probably now. And that's going to be, no, and the Rockets have been all. And they're great. Yeah, they've been unbelievable. And that's gonna be, no, and the Rockets have been all. And they're great. Yeah, they've been unbelievable. And then Sunday is Indiana. So really, of the games this week,
Starting point is 00:38:10 the Knicks, it's third out of fourth in terms of priority of needing the win, because beating Philadelphia and beating Indiana can really help you climb. It can help you separate from Philly in terms of hosting if you end up being the seven. And then Indiana, you're right there with them to try to get into sixth place.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So that's another game you might need. When we were looking at the schedule for the rest of the season, I believe there's nine games left. You could probably afford three total losses in that run and potentially still grab that sixth seed. And those losses would have to be the Knicks the Rockets and then Dallas next week other than that you got a couple games against
Starting point is 00:38:50 Toronto you got to win you got to beat Indiana and you got to beat Philadelphia those are by the Knicks Rockets and Mavs those are three teams have been playing very well right and they so like yes those are the expected one mix are beat up though right there no the Knicks the Knicks get look this game, if you come off the last two games that you played and you somehow beat down the Knicks who have been playing pretty well and then go beat Philadelphia, you can feel really good about the type of basketball
Starting point is 00:39:13 you're playing, but this is one of those games that it's important, but in terms of actual standings, it's not as crazy as the next couple. I'll go a step further for you here. Sunday's game against the Pacers. That's the game. Big game. This is for all the Marbles.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Yeah, that's the most big game. Big game or not a big game? Tiebreaker, too. You know who got his first NBA points last night? Who was that? Zay Wong. Oh, there you go. That's exciting.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Miami's finest, right? But here's the reason why, for all the people scratching their head why. Beyond the standings and this counts for two or whatever because it's a loss for them and a win for you. This is the tiebreaker game. Exactly. Because they played three times this year, the Heat won the first one, the Pacers won
Starting point is 00:39:53 the second one. And so the winner of this one will have the tiebreaker in case their records are alike. And what's interesting too is if you look at the Eastern Conference standings, everybody's just sort of looking at that sixth seed but the Magic who have been really good There are two and a half games I believe above the heat but the heat have the tiebreaker with them and the Magic play five of their last eight on the road They haven't exactly been a great team on the road. They played like ten straight at home So there's a chance that I mean you don't want that no
Starting point is 00:40:21 I'm gonna tell you because you don't want the Celtics in the want the Celtics in the second round. The sixth seed is the seed. That's the seed you want. Number one, you know exactly who you're gonna play. I've been saying that for weeks and weeks. You know exactly who you're gonna play. It's no coincidence, it's no kind of confusion. Number two, you're probably gonna play either the Knicks or the Cavs in the first round.
Starting point is 00:40:39 If it's the Cavs, they're beat the hell up. That's the team you want. Right? If it's the Knicks, they're beat the hell up, even though they've been playing well. You beat Donovan Mitchell and then you get him. I want the Knicks, just for fun. Like just cause.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Knicks heat first round? Yeah. I mean look, you could actually end up with the same path, just a difference in the first two rounds, where it would be instead of last year where it was Milwaukee, New York, Boston, it's New York, Milwaukee, Boston would be your path. This year, obviously that's significantly more difficult
Starting point is 00:41:05 and the Knicks are a much better team than they were last year. And now Damian Lillard obviously is in Milwaukee. If the Knicks end up with the three seed, where do you think that leaves the Heat? This is a new and improved down-leve-tar show with the Stugarts. Gamble on by DraftKings.
