You're listening to Giraffe King's Network.
This is the Dunlabel tour show with the Stugat's Podcast.
I hope that everyone is still paying attention to what happened with Alaska Airlines a couple weeks ago,
because I haven't stopped thinking about it.
I even went so far as to look at our flights to Las Vegas and see what kind of aircraft
we were traveling on.
And it seems like the public should be asking more questions.
And instead, I'm going on Wall Street bets this week, Dan.
And I see someone asking this question, which is, is it insider trading if I bought Boeing
puts while I'm inside the wrecked airplane? And this poster is wondering, hypothetical, of course.
Imagine sitting in an airplane when suddenly the fucking door blows out.
Now while everyone else is screaming and grasping for air, gasping, grasping for air, you
instead turn on your noise, canceling headphones and ignore the crying baby next to you, calmly
open your Robinhood app or whatever broker you prefer and load up on Boeing puts. There's no way the market could have already priced that in. It's literally just
happening. Would that be considered insider trading? I mean, you are literally inside of
the rec of an airplane. It's not a bad question, but it's the wrong question, man.
It's a pretty bad question and it is the wrong question. It is a bad question and the
wrong question. Tony, what are you talking about? It's not a bad question. First off, you
should never have posed a question because then other people can get on the wrong question. Tony, what are you talking about? It's not a bad question. First off, you should never have posed a question because then
other people can get on the same thing. You want to be first and only in that put spot.
But you're on a red airplane in mid-air. You're 30,000 feet above 16,000 feet.
What else am I going to do? How can I save myself? What else could I possibly be doing at
that time, other than making my family a lot of money? Making sure that screaming baby
has this little oxygen mask on.
I don't know.
I have to put mine on first before I can do anything else.
So, I told myself that.
Billy, you are failing at not making faces anymore.
You're making faces even though you don't have a microphone in front of you.
I just, I don't know.
I need to stop breathing, I guess.
There's a reason that you're making faces.
If you're on a plane that's crashing, there's nothing that you can actually do.
Like, let's be real.
So you might as well do stock for whatever you're gonna do.
Like, if you go like this,
you're not gonna save yourself.
If you're gonna die in a plane crash,
you're gonna die in a plane crash.
Put it on the pole, please,
Ju-ju, at Lebitar Show.
If you're gonna die on a plane crash,
should you go ahead and do the insider trading?
I don't think it's inside.
I mean, you are inside the plane, but I don't think you have
knowledge from the company that people aren't privy. Although, I guess maybe it depends
if you're the person that unscrewed the bolt, I think, because then maybe you would have
a little bit. I'd love to see, I would love to see the judge prosecute the person that
survived a plane crash for insider trading. Bobby, it's good to see you and have you around again.
You haven't shut up about the spread since you got here.
Have you been enjoying?
We lost you for an hour.
We misplaced you for an hour.
Is it because you've consumed a bunch of pastelitos?
I stay close to that spread.
I'm telling you that's the best thing that ever happened to your show.
That spread.
He's not talking about again to the spread ever happened to your show. That spread.
He's not talking about again. It's the spread.
No, he's four the spread.
But Tony came rushing in when he heard that Poppy was here because he wants to play
Refrontal Dia with him.
Have you missed that?
Have you missed that segment?
Yeah.
I guess I do.
But I saw Tony and Bissy by the buffet line.
There's a cute one sandwich there.
Let's see. Got a cookie, too. The Queue and sang which there. That's it. Got a cookie too.
The cookie that I cooked it to, that's right.
All right, let's cue the music here
so that we can play Refrontel de Accompape for favor. I
Even on we hint
Billy can you get the thank you Billy's got Billy had one job today Dan it was to get that and play there we go Billy doesn't like to support you Tony. He doesn't he's not here to support you
That's also true nobody supports him more than me, but I really needed this so we'll have this
Well, I thought you knew when the music starts,
you have to go grab it.
Anyways, today's a fun idea sponsored by the MMA Hangout,
where you can go see us hanging out at the tours
in Coconut Grove for UFC 297.
That'll be Saturday, 120 at 9 PM at night,
and the haters.
Hold on, the haters, haters line up, please.
Don't forget about the news.
I love you there.
What is the name of the instrument that Billy is
Presently scratching the cheese greater. What is that? What is the name of that instrument anybody?
Why you why you why you oh?
Why you thank you
Oh, how do you spell it why you what is that? Oh?
I can't tell you that
I can't tell you that. I don't know why that's an industry secret.
I don't think that you can play that indifferently, though, Billy.
I think you have to play that with Latin flair and passion.
Throw your energy into it.
He refuses to be a champion.
You don't want to do everything around here.
Thank you, Tony.
Bring the...
Thank you, Tony. bring your own energy. We don't need them. Let's spin the wheel
Oh
What is it land on what is that what is one of my favorite one of my favorite sayings that my mom would say to me all the time and Poppy has for sure said this to
Anybody that would listen when they were doing something that was just getting on his nerves and today's refund idea is
You ate a big parakeet is the literal translation
by my father.
You ate a parrot.
OK, parakeet.
I'm not a parakeet, a big one.
Yes, a parrot.
A parrot is not a big one.
A big one.
And why, Poppy, why would you say that under what conditions?
Well, I mean, when you are pressed because you're talking
a lot, you said that, you know,
boy, I tell you what, I got to run you, you gave me, no?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm not nailed.
You're our experts.
I know, I know, I know.
Kotorra, when I've heard you and mom use that in Spanish growing up, it was always somebody
who was, you know, talking a lot, somebody gossiping a lot, somebody who was talking excessively.
I've not heard the phrase though,
to eat a giant parrot, that's not something,
I've not heard that.
That's a translation, the word by word,
then I don't know if it makes any sense,
but it doesn't make sense.
It's a far too late to tell someone,
they're talking way too late.
That's right. You ate a lot. Sometimes you eat a payaso also.
A clown.
A clown?
You don't know about that one.
That one.
You ate a payaso.
I don't know about a payaso, but that's okay.
Why are we eating clowns and parrots in our,
in our homelands language?
Well, because that's the tradition.
Okay.
You know, Cuban people they eat the,
I mean, not they eat the,
well, they also eat the love,
but they talk a lot.
That's true.
And the thing is, obviously,
the parrot is a talking bird.
And sometimes when parrots get on a roll,
it's like, oh yeah, yeah.
You're one agon torre, stop it.
That's right.
It does sound a lot better than, please shut the fuck up.
Well, that would be kind of a lopping gum.
That's a different one.
I don't want to get into that one.
Yeah, I don't get into that one, Poppy.
Jeremy can accuse, can be accused of,
who would Jeremy?
Thanks.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan.
I love football and I love Miller Light.
Why do I love Miller Light? Well, the penable flavor,
the fact that it's a beer, that tastes like beer,
the fact that when I'm having a Miller Light,
I don't have to think for one second about the beer that I'm drinking.
And I know that it's only 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.
It's my favorite beer.
I believe in the product. You might be sick of hearing me talk about it, but I'll be talking about it till I'm old and
Gray because Miller light is with me wherever I go no matter the season and especially the winter time
I love drinking Miller light during the winners because when it's cold outside, I don't need to coosy for it
It's a perfect temp. It is the best beer and it pairs well with Playoff football. Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories. Go to MillerLight.com
slash Dan to find delivery options near you or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty
much anywhere that they sell beer. Taste like Miller Time, celebrate responsibly. Miller

Don't lebatard. How do people always go missing in the mountains?
Don't go to the mountains?
And by the way, I don't want to bring races.
This is the most white people thing ever.
Going missing in the middle of the mountains.
It's the strangest thing.
You go by yourself, you don't take a radio,
you don't take a phone, you're missing for four days
and they find you like 10 years later covered in snow.
And it's like, don't go by yourself. If you're going to go on a trail, don't go
by yourself.
Still gots.
Put it on the pole.
Is it the widest person thing ever? I believe is what you called it going into the woods
by yourself is going into the woods by yourself.
I can't disagree with that.
I mean, so so black people don't camp.
Yeah, black people don't hike. They don't
camp. They don't go on to the woods. This is the down libertar show with this two gods.
Mike, I've actually been rewatching the good place recently and first of all, it's like really
a perfect show well done. But thank you. Second of all, I can't help but laugh where at the end of each episode, I'm feeling
all warm and fuzzy inside and I'm blown away by the ethics of everything.
And then the title sequence comes back up and it says, the good place created by Michael
Sher and then I laughed to myself because I think about you sending profanity lace texts
about Jimmy Butler.
And I juxtapose that with the show and it's just truly a wonderful experience, Irvy,
every single time.
Listen, I'm not perfect.
I've got my flaws just like everybody else.
And my main flaw is hatred for the Miami.
It's amazing.
Mike, I just wanna tell you,
I think you did such a great job
and parks and rec also,
sometimes at night I just watch it and I think,
wow, I'm sure it's so perfect in every way.
I'm gonna name my cat after him.
I did. All right. Super annoying. Why did you perfect in every way. I'm gonna name my cat after him. I did.
All right.
Super annoying.
Did you like it?
Did you like it?
All of you.
All of you really annoying.
We like the office.
Fanboying on Mike's shirt.
Let's go ahead and get started here.
Mike sure with us, Metal Arc in turn.
You guys can stop with all the fanboying.
I'd appreciate it.
I have a number of different questions
and I want to get to a stat of the day in a second uh... mike thank you for
joining us
lord michael says that tina fey could easily take his place as executive
producer of saturday night live
when and if he ever retires i believe he will be in the chair seventeen years
after his death but you tell me as somebody
uh... billy still laughing at how uh... that's because my cat is named moose
so it's because it's genuinely a true thing
goes in the penalty box
but it's in the penalty box
i just explained i'm actually flustered
legitimate
i feel like that whole story from germany was just to tell people that
mike sure text
just get out just get out uh...
he talks to you
deco meet the one i got all right
uh... can you please help me please Just get out. He takes me to. De colmito, no, go to R.
Can you please help me please understand
Lauren Michaels and the succession plan.
Obviously Tina Fey could replace him.
You're uniquely qualified as someone who came up through.
You were in your early 20s with Adam McKay,
writing on Saturday Night Live.
What do you make of Lauren Michaels saying Tina Fey
can replace him?
This is like a real
Staven situation, right? It's like the person did the job better than anyone's ever done it or could do it and now the person who replaces him
If and when he ever leaves
is going to be under an enormous amount of pressure or
You know Tina's amazing Tina's incredible. There's very few
people in the world who have her talent level in like 50 different ways, acting, writing,
producing, comedy in general. So he doesn't surprise me. He said that. I mean, that's been
long speculated as, you know, there aren't that many people who can take over that chair.
She's certainly one of them. She's not the
only one, but I would say if there's if there's Vegas betting on, she's probably the favorite
for a number of reasons. But man, oh man, is that a hard job? Is that going to be tough
to take over for that guy? I mean, it's like, it's literally stabbing. It's like, how
do you replace the person who's better than everybody else at doing a certain job. So I don't envy whoever has the job, but I think if someone has to
do it, I think she'd be an excellent choice. What do Tina Fey and Kalen De Boer have in
common, you think? Fearlessness, I'm going to guess I know nothing about
Kalen De Boer, but I'm going to say fearlessness. You don't take that job unless you're like, yeah, I got this.
You know, you had like the intestinal fortitude of taking over for an ex-Aben.
I can't imagine.
I mean, before he takes the job, everyone's probably declaring him a failure and he's
not good enough and he shouldn't have been hired.
If he loses one of his first seven games, people are going to start thinking about whether
he was the wrong choice to take over. And the same will be true if whoever takes over
for Lauren. It's like at some point there will be a bad show because there's always bad shows
every year on that program. And someone will write the article of like this was the wrong choice.
I was on a good answer. I feel like that was a good answer for like a bad faith question.
It was. It was a terrible question because I was gonna
Compare it to Nick Sabin and then you already had done that in your answer towards the end of your answer
So I wanted to do a follow-up. That wasn't as good
Can you explain to me please if you think it is a good job because you just said it's a tough job
And I think you said it's a bad spot but that shows in a diminished
state. I don't mean this as disparagement. I mean it's sort of a matter of fact and television
is in a diminished state. And so that job, never mind Tina Fey, anybody, does it feel like it's
the same job once he leaves it? Well, it's the same show, you know, I mean, look, there aren't that many names
that ring out the way that the name Saturday Night Live rings out through the TV landscape.
It's a legendary program. It still has a place in the culture. And like everything else,
I used to joke all the time. I may have said this on the show before and I apologize, but if you ask anyone what the best cast of us analysis
They will name the cast that was on the show when they were between 12 and 15 years old because it's a it's like a thing that
Introduces people to comedy at the moment that they're forming their
comedic
personalities or voices and it's
Transgressive and you stay up late and you stay up in the one in the morning to watch the show and you fall in love with certain cast members and you like
it you know I was there for seven years six and a half seven years and over that time
when I first joined it the press was like this show sucks now this show should die and
then Will Ferrell started doing Bush and Darrell Ham and started doing Gore.
And it was like, this show's amazing.
This is incredible.
This shows the best show on TV.
And then a couple of years after that,
it was like, this show sucks now.
This show should go away.
And it just, it's, the show has rides that wave,
that sine wave up and down, up and down
over the years, in and out.
Like there are periods of time
where people declare it's the best thing on TV.
The most vital thing on TV. And then there are periods of time when everyone hates
it. And that's just Lauren needs to joke that on his tombstone, it should say, here lies
Lauren Michaels. And then in quotes, it was a little uneven because that's how people
have referred to the show since the beginning, since 1975. So, you know, the person who
takes over for him is going to face the same thing
There are going to be moments periods of time where everyone loves it periods time where one hates it There's nothing you can do about that. That's the nature of the beast. It's a big rambling mess of a variety show and that's sort of by design
David Chase creator of the sopranos, and I don't know if you saw this says the golden age of television is over
He has said that's at least in part because of
streaming, but he also is saying that everything has been dumbed down. Did you see that?
Do you agree with that?
I did not see that. I mean, you know, we've heard that before too. Like people say that
all the time. When I left, as an element LA, people were saying the sitcom is dead because there had
been a dearth of great sitcoms for the past few years.
And then there was a revival, like the office in 30 rock and modern family and suddenly
people were like, this hit comes back.
And it just, again, these things go in waves.
I don't know one really knows what the long term effect of streaming will be, but as you have talked about on this very show, you again, these things go in waves. I don't know one really knows what the long-term effect of streaming will be, but as you have
talked about on this very show, these streamers are now talking about bundling themselves
and everybody selling ads again, which means that the old cable model might be weirdly
coming back into favor.
What does that mean for sitcoms?
No one knows.
What does that mean for dramas?
No one knows. What does it mean for dramas? No one knows. But it's just silly to ever say, like, oh, TV is dead. I mean, is this as there was certainly a period
of time starting with the soprano and going through, you know, I don't know, I guess
breaking bad or maybe better call Saul where you would say that there were these legendary
all-time dramas on the air.
And that this was a golden age is what everybody called it.
And you know, the thing about golden age is they don't last forever.
And so, you know, that era is probably over, but that doesn't mean a new era won't begin
that has a different, you know, slate of shows and a different vibe, and that might not
produce materialist just as good it's just
TV is not going anywhere TV is gonna stick around forever and it's just a question of like how the people who create the shows and
market the shows and air the shows
kind of present them and how and what they value so i don't i think there are going to be more good TV shows in the future it's just a question of when and how and how they're delivered to you.
I don't know how you do this measurement, but I would say at one point when friends had
Thursday nights and NBC had Thursday nights, they had 75 million people watching, which
at the time was a third of the country.
A third of the country was watching NBC on Thursday nights when the sopranos was doing
what they were doing.
I suspect that we can argue that that's the
golden age of television and
it'll forever be more
fragmented than that.
Will it not?
Yeah, but then, you know,
go back another 20 years and
look at the finale of mash was
over 100 million people and,
and, you know, the Beatles on
Ed Sullivan was whatever it was.
Like, I don't know that that's the measurement that you want to use because the way that people and the Beatles on Ed Sullivan was whatever it was.
I don't know that that's the measurement
that you wanna use because the way people consume
entertainment changes over time.
And so yeah, will there ever be another show
where the last for, I mean, friends lasted for nine seasons
or 10 seasons.
So will there ever be another show that lasts that long?
There might not be.
Or there might be because we might come all the way back
around to where we were a few years ago,
because the economic modable change again
and people will have shows that last for it.
Right now, the shows are lucky to last for two or three
seasons, that might change again.
So I don't know, I think making predictions
about these things is a fool's errand.
And it's entirely possible that at some point 20 years
from now, the way things shift and change
and consolidate that there are shows that last that long, you get that many viewers, I don't know.
When you're creating shows, do you plan for that now? Like, you want to tell your story in three
seasons knowing this is kind of the norm? Yeah, kind of. I mean, you'd be kind of foolish to ever
think that you have a chance to tell the story over 5, 6, 7
years, you know, at least right now.
I'm working a show right now.
We start shooting next week or next month, sorry.
And we're like, you know, sort of thinking about like, okay, if we get a season two, here's
what we would do.
And after that, there are no plans because there are not many shows that last more than
two seasons now, which is a bummer like i think the thing that TV had as a medium over movies
was you got to tell stories about characters slowly granularly over a long period of time and that right now is not really an option there's very few shows it's like stranger things and
stranger things and that's it. The last for the length of time that successful shows used to last four. So it would be kind of foolish for any creator to think about telling a story
slowly over seven or eight years. I mean, Severance, which was one of my favorite shows in
2022, like, you know, you got interrupted by the strikes and there were other production
delays, but like, you know, but it's gonna be two and a half
you're three years between seasons.
You can't, that's not a sustainable model either.
You can't wait two or three years between seasons
because then a five year show covers 15 years
of people's lives, that's not that's unviable.
So yeah, that is a big consideration now
is that you just don't have the same amount
of time you used to have.
And if that is syndication even a goal now?
Findication doesn't really exist.
Like syndication was, you know, when I was a kid, you know, you, at 7 and 7 30 on Channel
9 or Channel 11 or whatever, like they would show reruns of popular sitcoms.
That exists a little bit, but now syndication has just been replaced by the streamers.
So you make a season of a show, and then that show is either made for Amazon or Netflix
or Hulu or they're the ones who buy it and show it.
So those reruns that used to be what syndication did, you
know, spread the show around all these different markets in reruns, that's just, that's been
almost entirely replaced. So that, it's not, I mean, you know, the, the reason that you
wanted to make a hundred episodes of something was because syndication required a hundred
episodes because they wanted to run five nights a week and they wanted a minimum of 20
weeks of shows
So that's a hundred episodes
So that's why everyone that was why that was the magic number
Because they if to buy a show to air and reruns those channels
Wanted a hundred episodes as a way to not have to rerun the same episode twice within 20 weeks
But you know that doesn't exist anymore. So a hundred doesn't really mean anything and no one gets there anyway.
And so syndication has been replaced by just you sell your show to Netflix or Hulu or whatever
whatever streamer you sell it to or make it for. And that's how people see the shows now as
they just subscribe to the streaming system. So it's a completely different world. It just doesn't
have, it doesn't bear any resemblance to the world I began in or grew up in and you just have to roll with it, you know
Who's the person we talk about Connor Stallions though?
Wait hold on I have a question about charmed who's the person that's making all the charmed money because charmed has been on TNT
Every morning for the past 40 years and like every time that you fall asleep watching an NBA game and then you wake up
Charmed is on so who is it that is cashing in on all this charm to money?
Well, the creators and executive producers of charm, who I can't name off the top of my
head, you know, when you make a show, there are points which are just, you know, each point
is 1% of the total profit.
And usually the 65 of those points are owned by the studio that makes the show into 35 of them
are owned by the some combination of the creator, sometimes the actors, if they're big stars,
sometimes executive producers, and then those people divvy up all the profits. So TNT clearly
bought charms for a certain amount of money. If that money put the show into profit, then 1% of that
profit is going to each of the people who has one of those points.
We'll bring you back to talk stallions, but let's do a quick start of the day here.
Start of the day, start of the day, and this is start of the day.
Start of the day, start of the day, and this is start of the day.
Start of the day, start of the day, and this is Star of the day, Star of the day, Star of the day, Star of the day, and this is Star of the day.
I'm still feeling legitimately embarrassed by the way.
Go ahead, sure.
Poppy was in the studio.
You could have had him sing it live.
Can we have him sing it live?
That was live.
He doesn't really want to be around us.
It seems like he's the spread.
He wanted the pastelitos and he fled the premises.
It didn't seem like he was happy here.
It seemed like it brought back post- stress disorder PTSD I respect that I admire
that uh here's your quick stat of the day it's Tony Gwen's status from
codify baseball Tony Gwen's career batting average 338 Tony Gwen's career
batting average against Sia on the award winners, 339.
That's wacky. That is, that is an excellent stat. You could, my guess is that you could fill up an entire poscast just with Tony Gwynn stats.
He's got like 50 of the most amazing stats. That guy, that guy was incredible.
I love that guy so much. Can I talk about the charity thing
that Joe Poslinansky and I are doing?
Well, you would have 30 seconds to do that.
So let's bring you back to talk about that
and Conor Stallions and Winconer Stallions, okay, great.
And what you're doing on the Pazcast
and Bill Bella check and Better Call Saul
because I want to know if yours outraged
as the rest of us are that Odin Kirk has never won anything and that better call Saul has never won
anything at the Emmys even though you think award shows are stupid.
This is gonna be a packed segment.
It is.
I mean I thought we had enough time with the 15 minutes that we just did but
evidently not.
Let's see if we can embarrass Jeremy some more.
Don Lebertard.
They would try to bring in some minority characters.
And you could.
Yeah, they tried Louis Aguirre was one of them.
They tried to dabble in Latin flavor.
And they went, Maurice Chessant was one.
I was a more Chessant.
I'm sorry.
God, what a beefcake in that show.
Miranda, why didn't you say with them?
I mean, we're going to go with Steve on this one seriously.
Spoo-gats!
Oh no.
Clear out, I have to assure an apology.
Uh oh, oh no, oh no.
Is it a sex in the city apology?
I would like to formally apologize to Blair Underwood
for calling him Morris Chessnut.
Oh no!
Wow, look, LA law man, come on, yo.
This is the Danelebatar Show with the Stugats.
I thought the most interesting part of the entire Michigan story today is that
Harbaugh is reportedly asking or being offered by Michigan six years, 11.5 million a year, and future immunity from anything
that any investigation about him reveals.
But you have something else regarding
Connor Stallions that you think is more interesting,
Mike, sure.
Listen, I'm an Ann Arbor native.
I was born Ann Arbor, Michigan,
but a Michigan family whole life.
And I, as a metal art media intern, have been subjected to a lot of anti-Michigan crap from
you people.
You know, I've heard a lot of, oh, the fans are terrible.
Lucy had a terrible time at the championship game, you know, Connor Stallions, this Connor
Stallions, that I'm here to stick up for the University of Michigan and the Michigan
Wolverines.
And this whole kind of selling thing, you know, I've been through this before, as you well know,
with the deflate gate and with the tape gate and all that stuff.
You have it all wrong. This is a big misunderstanding.
This is all, they're innocent of all charges.
And for you to malign them and to slander them, I've had enough.
I've had enough to hear with you.
I want Michigan to get their due, and I want you to admit that this is a legitimate national
championship and that they did nothing wrong.
And I'm not leaving here until you admit that.
Mike, you're really good at naming characters and having like funny names in your show.
Is there a better name for the villain in the Michigan story than Then Connor Stallings. Is there anything else that even pairs?
It's a, it's a, it is an all time. It's incredible. I, I, I would be so proud of myself.
If I invented a guy who did what he did and named him Connor Stallions, it would be
what career achievement. Also, listen, you have it over. He just, he's just a college football
fan. He bought those tickets because he loves going to games. He's like Lucy. He's
no different than Lucy. He just wanted to go to the games and just see the competition.
And you know, now he's getting, he's getting slandered and defamed. And I, I don't, I don't
want to stand for it. That is a, that is a, a true, much like Lucy and Jess, a true college football fan who just wanted to attend
some games and enjoy the competition in front of him. That's all that was happening there.
Well, if it was, Lucy, someone would have accidentally applied for him to go to the Washington
Oregon game on accident. Yeah, the wrong game is where he would have ended up. Jessica,

annual footies awards finally embracing it Lucy and Taylor will be handing out the footies
foot foot foot foot foot foot foot foot foot foot foot foot what kind of cat what kind of categories

Okay, excellent.
Mike, what are you promoting for the podcast?
One of the very popular podcasts here on Metal Art Media.
You are doing something charitable and kind with Boog Shambhi,
who does a lot of charity and does a lot of good work
that I'm sure people want to and need to learn about.
Yes, for the second year now we're doing our January opening
baseball cards and talking about the players we find in them
Thing raffle thing. So we're opening all this month. I think the first one drops today all this month
We're opening cards. We're gonna have Boogon. We're gonna have Tom Harris throw on opens of basketball cards
We're gonna auction them off for charity. So if you go to projectmainstreet.org
That's Boo's, the ALS charity.
They provide money for patient care for people with ALS.
Donate 25 bucks, send a receipt to PazcastRaffleatgmail.com, POS, CIST, Raffle at gmail.com.
Give 25 bucks what we're asking for, but anything you want to give us fine.
You will enter yourself in a raffle to win any card you want and a bunch of other fund prizes and all the money will go to Project Main Street.
So it's Project Main ST abbreviation for street.org. Go give money and listen to the podcast
and pick your card. Give us the dismount we need with controversial commentary. Better
show the bear or better call soul. They're both incredible. I will only say that the bear one best comedy and
succession one best drama and I think those are exactly reversed. I think you didn't answer
my question. You did not answer my question. You're a coward. You're a coward. And I hope
no one gives to your charity. Hey, it's my crime. I love football and I love Miller
light. Why do I love Miller Light?
Well, dependable flavor, the fact that it's a beer,
that tastes like beer, the fact that when I'm having
a Miller Light, I don't have to think for one second
about the beer that I'm drinking.
And I know that it's only 96 calories and 3.2 carbs,
per 12 ounces.
It's my favorite beer.
I believe in the product.
You might be sick of hearing me talk about it,
but I'll be talking about it till I'm old and grey. Because Miller Light is with me wherever I go,
no matter the season. And especially the winter time. I love drinking Miller Light during
the winter, because when it's cold outside, I don't need to coosy for it. It says a perfect
temp. It is the best beer, and it pairs well with Playoff Football. Miller Light, great
taste, 96 calories. Go to MillerLight.com
slash Dan to find delivery options near you or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty
much anywhere that they sell beer. Tastes like Miller Time, celebrate responsibly, Miller
Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.
