Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's most sustainable pothash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:00:38 I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, that face, and the habitual liar. Stugots, we have a problem in here, OK?
Starting point is 00:01:02 And it's been a problem for a long time. OK. You may have noticed that Mike, more and more every single day, comes in here dressed more and more, like an athletic trainer, or like a university of Miami superhero, and some sort, just draping himself head to toe, in university of in thick university,
Starting point is 00:01:25 if Miami garb. Did they give you that stuff for free? Like I feel like you donated enough that you should get free stuff. I do get a lot of free stuff. Okay, good. It's not free stuff. I guess technically it's a,
Starting point is 00:01:36 in return for my very generous donations. Right. You're war, you're war-dropped by your boosterism. You're, you're getting paid. You're, you're, you're getting paid. You're getting paid. You're getting paid. You're getting fit. You're fit it. I'm fit it. My wonderful partners over the disease. Yeah. Okay. But you know, you weren't too keen on that when that first half is still not keen on it. You're not on the table here on the record. Yeah. I would like to be a
Starting point is 00:01:57 Nike school again. But you know, a lot of college basketball blue bloods are rep by Nike and a lot are rep by Adidas. And either way, it doesn't take away from the fact that we are college basketball blue bloods here and the season is starting. Can you stop for just a second because I yes to God. I was gonna say in fairness to my today he is wearing something that no one else would wear after that game. I mean he is. He's proud. Sorry. I don't know what you're referring to. The season starts today against the vaunted New Jersey Institute of Technology and come Friday. There's going to be a banner that says final four on it that's going to be raised at the Watsco. And I see.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Mike Ryan has poured his resources and his his booster is him into the University of Miami Women's Program and that season begins now. That season's to got is a giant. I think a lot of people pointed out the ratings of last year women's basketball at the end of the year was doing a bigger number than Game One of the World Series, which wasn't just the World Series. It was a great all-time World Series game and still women's basketball did bigger numbers and opens now this season. It does. The ladies take the court on Thursday. The men begin their season today at the Wadsco.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Like I said, a banner that'll say final four on it is going to be raised, which for this program, a blue blood program is the bar. I think the camera does not do michael fit justice i think he needs to do like a little twirle yes please but he has the shoes on yet yet yet michael like please go to my i don't know let me please go to a place mic where we could drink all of you in because
Starting point is 00:03:39 what's happened here is you look like somebody an athletic trainer running on the field to tend to an athlete's knee. But when in your boosterism, you pour funds and a port and time into the program. I love these kids. And you call yourself a blue blood. Lucy's making a face every single time you are a college. I am.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I am. You personally just you. Yes. Yes. You are a college basketball blue. I am. You personally just you. Yes, you got it. K. Naysmith. One of the Williams is maybe a dean in there. Mike Ryan. Got it.
Starting point is 00:04:12 John Wooden. Lucy. Don't make the cut. Really? Lucy, you got to speak up. You're making faces at him at the entire time. And I believe his boosterism is out of control. And I think you need to speak freely just because you have a head coach at
Starting point is 00:04:26 treasurer to final fours. I think and I had coaches all around that also just feeds a blue blood argument done that. Sometimes I feel like you just can't argue with crazy. You gotta let him just do what he wants to do. Oh, terrible, terrible. What's dangerous, can you? This program had a team in the elite eight and in the final four simultaneously Right, can you name other schools? One year doesn't make you a blue blood that you made it to the final excuse me went to the elite eight last year in men's
Starting point is 00:04:58 We're talking about a sustainable track record here. We're two years. Cut me open. That means Notre Dame's a blue one too. I believe blue. Hey, look at us. Just couple of blue ones. I mean, the women's team obviously is. I like this though, because I'm with Mike today. This weekend was terrible for Notre Dame great for Clemson.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Terrible for Miami. But the upside is now that the meaningful college football has ended for programs earlier than you'd hope. The basketball season arrives. And you get to say, well, what, what women's basketball school anyways? We're, Notre Dame's playing today in Paris against South Carolina. Very exciting, man. One match up.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Between Yale, Ivy and Don Staley in Paris. In Paris. I would be there if it weren't for this wedding. But now Mike gets to turn his attention back to basketball and claim that this was, this was it all along for my end my my support They need to be successful my support goes program wide and yes while there are some embarrassing setbacks with the University of Miami football program I'm positive we are on the right track and it is FSU week and I'm not punting on this season just yet But today is a day for excitement as one of the nation's proudest bluebloods returns to the court
Starting point is 00:06:04 I mean, there's Rupparina. Well, I heard that Lucy. Lucy, I heard that. Rupparina. Lucy, what was that? Lucy, what was that Cameron indoor stadium? The Watsco. Okay, you're disgusted by his blue bloodness.
Starting point is 00:06:17 You're being disgusted by Mike's misrepresentation of what the University of Miami has with this. You know how many men's games I went to last season? All of them, you were there. You were pretty much all of them. You were, you were there. You know how many men's games I went to last season? All of them, pretty much. You were the job. You were the job. You know how many times I saw my team lose? Just once.
Starting point is 00:06:30 We went to the women's game together too when Notre Dame played at Miami last year and he wore this exact same outfit. He is booster man. Well, he would be a super hero, booster man. I don't understand why you guys, I take such great joy. There's such a community aspect to this.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I did not know I wanted this in my life, and it's great. I love these kids, these proud student athletes, and I don't understand why I'm getting teased for just throwing behind something. Get it out there. That's why. You know, I don't wanna just be some bum fan
Starting point is 00:07:03 with a podcast that's called Mario Christmas. Well, bum and you don't know how to go. I'm not gonna do that. He's why. You know, I don't wanna just be some bummed fan with a podcast that's calling Mario Chris and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm not gonna do that. He's not. I'm gonna be the change that I seek. I'm gonna be there for these kids. You know what, Mike? I see a lot of people throwing stones at you
Starting point is 00:07:14 when there's people. There's ample people here that can support this program the same way if not Nate, better than you are and doing nothing, little action. I appreciate you, Billy, and look, you're being the change that you seek. Thank you. You're gonna involve with your pro,
Starting point is 00:07:27 which is very important. Very important ways. So look, we all love our team's Lucy, has used plenty of Dan's money to go and cover Iowa athletics. Correct. I'm doing it again this week. Iowa woman Virginia Tech Thursday night.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I just did it as well. Oh Virginia Tech is very good. You know, I caught a little bit of Virginia Tech in Greece this year. And their staff has some show fans on it. So a little bit of a team of mine. The Hokies. Billy said Hokies in my ear, I gotta be honest.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Whether he thought Virginia Tech was the Hokies. Let's try to get him to say it. So he didn't want to do it. New Jersey Institute of Technology, by the way, the Highlanders couldn't get that one to your fast enough, Stu. You were Fed Hogueys. You said Hokeys instead. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:13 And Bugs, folks, Bugs criticism is valid, correct? Once you do a weekend, so not your older than you used to be, you can't just be flying around all over the place, landing, belching out a show. And, and Bugs says you're getting tired of being stugats. It's hard for you to summon the character when he says hogeys and you turn it into hogeys. Right. And we're two hours into your work week. But that's the, no, but that's the one thing, like
Starting point is 00:08:39 listen, it doesn't matter how tired I am, how old I am, I'm going to get the hogeys right. It was not believable. That's why I didn't go with it. The Hokies, it's a funny word. I know. Ben, you're a proud university Miami alum, such as myself. Why weren't you at Midnight Madness? Yeah, going tonight, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:08:56 What are you doing? Yeah. I am not going to those. Why? I do admire. You hate women's sports? I do admire. Yes, Billy, that's what it is
Starting point is 00:09:08 I have court sides for the women You couldn't court side sees just by wearing that Yeah, you could sit on their bench and no one's gonna stop you genuinely worried for court side seats with my daughter Got to have the iPad out but then she won't have her head on a swivel and diving into the seat She's a fake fan college sports are fun, huh? It's the best. It really is. And this is a weird town for it.
Starting point is 00:09:30 And I never went to Miami-Dade College. I went to FIU online. Like I didn't have this college experience. I had already gotten the career that I was going to school for midway through it. So I'd never had this type of pride. Miami's a weird town for it. And the more I get involved with the program, the more I see the charm in it, the more I see
Starting point is 00:09:48 the community aspects, the more I see positive role models for my daughter, I really enjoy it. And yes, it helps them out too. They're getting money for it. But I really, at this stage in my life, really value this relationship. I'm not kidding you when I tell you what I'm not kidding you when I tell you. With the deities. I'm not kidding you when I tell you that that harkens back to sort of a 1950s coral gables on what it is that that campus was trying to do through sports and college baseball 45 years ago. That quaint community thing of let's go on to a corner over
Starting point is 00:10:21 there and have a milkshake and watch a baseball game in a place that's different from the rest of Miami. I had no idea this part of Miami existed even while the team had success being a blue blood. It only with Concentrate and Popeye at the night center. It only exists over like a very small, small block radius where they've built an economy on a corner protecting something like that that actually is better at sports right now, because it's the only thing that's been good at sports. Historically, there has been football and baseball, but over the last 20 years,
Starting point is 00:10:54 some of that has changed because of what basketball has done in these last few years. They're not. And what football has become, I mean. Well, but football carried that... It's a fair criticism. Football carried them here, just, the, the, the, the, the notoriety of the program built the, help build the rest of the program.
Starting point is 00:11:11 But basketball is now in a conversation where they get to play at the top 20 end of the business. And I think basketball probably would have been here a while ago, even though I joke that we're a blue blood, the, a deed is scanned all the couple of years ago. If you look at Jim Laranigas time on the whole down here in Miami, unprecedented success for the program, and the Adidas scandal made the program take a step back,
Starting point is 00:11:33 but now he's building it up. And if you see the recruiting class, Patea is an incredible recruit class in 2024. You're seeing on the women's side, what the Cavendor twins did by just relocating their brand to Miami, and you start seeing all the reasons why Miami we joke but they could really be a sustainable basketball powerhouse here. And that's an exciting thing that's never been down here before.
Starting point is 00:11:55 No, that actually could happen. I know we give my grind a lot of shit for how much she loves Miami but I respect the hell out of it. It's the reason why I cry at college football games. It's because of the community aspect and just how important this is to everyone. I probably wouldn't cry to Miami game, but still, it's really special.
Starting point is 00:12:11 That's second half of that inside me crying. Come to Tallahassee, we'll have a good weep. I think point to all. That's a good weep. I'm genuinely torn on, I don't like how unpleasant this must be for Tyler Van Dyke. The world's closing in. Play better. Yeah, play better.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Play better. As the world's population grows, so does the need for resources like Potash to support sustainable food production.

Starting point is 00:14:07 She Googled you and he was like, we have to look for him. Okay, look at it. She wanted to know what your face looked like, so she could find you. It's face, and then I looked up and I'm like, my buddies calling me, dude, I got to go. I can't touch you right now. Lucy's me Lucy. And this weekend, we decided to send Chris to Germany and me to Oklahoma. My name is Cole. Well, it's nice to meet you. I have not missed an episode of the world! And me to Oklahoma. My name is Cole.
Starting point is 00:14:45 What was nice to me? I have not missed an episode of the Levitard Show since 2013. How do you feel about this being the last bedroom for a while at least? Since it's not Oklahoma State's fault, I feel okay about it. I'm sad because it is probably the most well-obsided rivalry in history. I think what's the face of the head coach owe you? Rem Vennables. Yeah, I think he's a **** friend of me, you know?
Starting point is 00:15:08 That's what I'm saying. Sad, but you know, it is 91-19. So it's not really a point of playing anymore if it's we're just gonna keep on winning. Who loses to KU and you're going to SEC? Who loses to KU? Texas does that quite a bit actually. They're scared of us.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Well, Bedlam and football is one sport. The rest is for three dominating. So Bedlam series we own OU. I'm sorry, brother, but we don't own, you know, that's we own you. There's three time champion world series champion in Southfall, Oklahoma, Sooners. Who's the three time equestrian champions?
Starting point is 00:15:40 All of us. Oh, all of our first deadlam, but it's also more last because the last one is that gay. It's got to find a new one. This year, the last one, I think we got a chance. Yeah, we got a chance. So we all agree it's Oklahoma's fault. This is ending.
Starting point is 00:15:55 It is Oklahoma's fault that this is ending. I don't hate anybody, but I prefer to hate the Oklahoma Sooners. 100% go poke. First, I just bought this off the street about an hour ago. So so back there and then but I get out wearing orange today. Then you're losing. You're not wearing orange today. But I have Oklahoma say on it. Yeah, but you're okay. Okay, you can. I don't can't argue with the pink shirt. You think it's cute? I'm a little bit worried because I'm
Starting point is 00:16:23 really pretty hard for Oklahoma State. And we've both been at Oklahoma Victory this year. Can you say any nice thing about Oklahoma fans? I can, I'm dating one. How do you guys make it work? We don't talk football very much. Can you do a Mike Gundie impression? I'm a man, I'm four. impression? I'm a man I'm full of
Starting point is 00:16:45 perfect. I'm a man I'm 40. That's you work kids. Do everything right? I'm a man I'm 40. So my favorite person on the show is Billy Gill on Tuesdays for Grand Cody. Grand Cody brings some up. Billy Gill's got his back. I love that. I love the fact that Billi-Gill is chaos. Pure, unadulterated chaos. Who is your favorite person on the show? You. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Of course. We love you. Number one fan, right here. I am so glad we didn't go down the mountain! Oh, it's coming down! The ball's's coming down! The ball goes is coming down! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Dan, I have one thing to say.
Starting point is 00:18:10 One thing. I'm fucking love going to my mom! Mike, my guy, I know you're paying a lot for the Miami Hurricanes to be decent. Get past it, man. It's over. It's past their day. You are now an Oklahoma state fan
Starting point is 00:18:25 Kind of but in Florida. You're always gonna be the little brother Florida states bigger knew the better new man. I feel sorry for you on that. I apologize and also hey Be nice to Tony. All right Tony's got some he's got some good takes Give Tony an opportunity on the show like you do. I love me some Tony and Stu gots, uh, man, hope you're racking up those airline miles since I'm my way 80, 20 mile way, 80, 20 mile way. I want to dedicate this video to Cole, the best interview we have ever had ever.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Uh, wow. That was aggressive. 30 seconds too fat. Aggressively bedlam. Uh, Lucy, which 30. aggressive second stuphat aggressively bedlam lucy which thirty and you explain to me please because uh... i i thought you were going to go to alabama stugas was on the case skipper was on the case i thought you were supposed to not end up in the middle of bedlam i thought you
Starting point is 00:19:20 were headed alabama what happened well that was what was supposed to happen one let me just say I'm so happy I was in Bedlamin's set. That was top choice. So, Sugat sex at Aj MacKaren. Yeah, never got back to me. That's rude. John Skipper called, I believe the SEC commissioner. And I don't think he got back to him. But the plan was to go Greg Sankie to the Alabama athletic director, who apparently I think John knew his dad.
Starting point is 00:19:46 None of that happened. And so we were like, okay, let's just book travel for Oklahoma. And then Bimmel messaged me like Thursday and was like, well, here's an LSU contact. And I was like, look, we just booked all our travel. We are just going to go to Oklahoma. And I am so happy we did.
Starting point is 00:20:02 That was absolutely the game. Well, what's next though though because it appears whether it's stugots through his dealings with AJ McCarran or Skipper with his dealings with who never again slur you can now go to whatever game you want this particular week right but you're trying to choose now you've got a bevy of option well not exactly the top choice would be Ole Miss Georgia and Georgia has said no every single time we've asked. So maybe we try Georgia again, maybe we see if John Skipper can get someone to pick up this time.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Our other options are Florida at LSU, Miami at Florida State, Utah at Washington, and then USC at Oregon. Really great options and I don't know which one to pick. You don't want to stick with Oklahoma State traveling to the great town of Orlando, Florida to take on UCF in their space uniforms, Lucy? I mean, come on, UCF in space. We own space, no? Okay. I was trying to pick my game, Jeremy. This is supposed to be a serious poll question.
Starting point is 00:20:59 I'm trying to be helpful. Well, where do you want to go and do you want to influence the audience? Because what's going to make it cry? I would like to go to Georgia. That would be top choice But Georgia keeps saying no, so we are not banking on Georgia. So wait, Lucy, you're saying Greg Sanky won't call back John Skipper. He may maybe he has called back since John and I last spoke but adds a Thursday of last week He had not called I feel my share is going down in value right now. Can we cut this? I'm sending a text to David Pollock. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Yeah. All this Georgia would be our top choice. But our other options. Once again, if we can put it on the pole, please do do. Where should I go this weekend if Georgia Ole Miss doesn't work out? You're going to allow the crowd to send you some place. Mike Ryan, do you want her at FSU Miami? Do you want her around that? I have with it. You got to earn it, right? Those are those are good football games. So you got to
Starting point is 00:21:49 earn the off-road in. So I don't know. Like I Ole Miss George just seems like a hell of a game, game day is going there. But yes, I will roll out the red carpet in that Poe-Dung town of Tallahassee and you can come hang out with us. Jessica is advocating for something that I found a little bit shocking. We are in Stugots fairly unstable times. I believe I've gotten a number of panic phone calls recently saying Trump's gonna win. Just that people.
Starting point is 00:22:19 What do they want you to do about it? Right. Why do people calling you weird? Right. It's one of them great saying. Yeah. Hey, Jim McHarratt. And he's on the stand today and polling
Starting point is 00:22:31 would indicate that everything in leadership is a total disaster. And I am not someone who has ever trusted the federal government with anything. I don't want the federal government near any of anything when it comes to me, just handle a handful of things in terms of public order and leave me alone. But Jessica is saying. Okay, Mr. Tea Party. That she wants federal government intervention.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Intervention. What? On the ACC. Oh, I just hate AC football so much. I'm so over playing against the ACC, watching ACC games every year at the beginning of the year. I'm like, there might be a couple good teams in the ACC. There's not. It's always going to be, it was Clemson for like a decade. Now it's Florida State. And there's really no number two. I know Louisville's good this year, three minutes, by the way.
Starting point is 00:23:21 And they only have one loss right now to a terrible pit team. But that's kind of my point is like what what are we doing ACC football I'm so tired of you I'm tired of watching NC State I'm tired of watching Virginia Tech I'm just tired not Clemson you weren't tired of Clemson I think honestly like Clemson being good kind of out of nowhere like nailing the Davos weenie higher, is the reason that the ACC got the TV deal and didn't completely like dissolve entirely. Because Clemson had just been like mediocre the last 10 years and not gotten to the playoff
Starting point is 00:23:56 all those times in one two national championships. Like who would the ACC team of that decade be? Like Florida State was in a weird nomad in the country. Florida State won the national title in 2013. Yeah, and then like the Clemson diet. Like that was 10 years ago. It's now in 2023. Yeah. Shockingly.
Starting point is 00:24:12 I feel like I never had two good teams at once on. Had hopes for North Carolina. And then North Carolina went super south after being ranked. I'm just tired of it. I'm just tired of like so many eight and four teams every year, seven and five teams every year. And it's like, oh, so and so is gonna be good. No, they're not.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Yeah, what sucks is every time you think that someone else can be in that tier, they'll just lose to another team in conference. And it just all gets lumped into, it used to be the coastal. And now the ACC is just one big coastal. Thank God, by the way. But I think that, I actually do think,
Starting point is 00:24:42 if you look at the head to head splits between the conferences and independence, like the ACC has improved. They have improved against these other big conferences, but if they keep cannibalizing themselves, the reputation is going to be what it is right now. So I'm all for federal intervention. Every other conference also sucks. I will say that. The thing about the other conferences though is like at least the big 12 is completely unhinged or the big 10 is known for being really truly boring. The ACC is just finding themselves somewhere in the middle and that's the part of it that's just infuriating.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Billy, hey. You and Jeremy. But it is still a blue blood when it comes to the hardwood. It's a great basketball conference greatly cross conference great soccer conference it's got the ACC's got a lot going on burn burners against duken clouds and last night on the ACC network which depends on gambling again I watched a Boston college Syracuse game on Friday night and I was like what like we can't even like meme this like northwestern island is memeable. Yeah, Syracuse Boston College like
Starting point is 00:25:46 Go girl. Give me nothing. Yeah, sir. God's mic Ryan had a terrible terrible bad beat to start his Sunday yesterday Oh really? I had to text them terrible. No worse than that worse than a team with no kicker He found that out this morning also He had oh he didn't even know he just beddeded, you told him this morning, God bless football, you informed him? Yeah, yeah. Justin Watson, he had him 30 to one to score the first touchdown in the Germany game. Oh.

Starting point is 00:26:55 I mean, so that's a 14 point win there for the Raven. Yeah Um double up to touch that stoo gots. I think double up is a score like if the Colt have 10 and you double them up You scored 20. I don't think double up. You do and I do it differently Okay, but I don't think that double them up like you explain it to me as if I was my way I understand but that's not technically doubling up like I think you use the phrase wrong or something happen double up plus four Yes, exactly.

This is the Dalai Batar show with this two gods
Starting point is 00:27:34 Two gods our friend Ron McGill the most popular guest in the shows history Yeah, I think even above Tim Kirchen, who we all miss, but I believe it's our longest standing guest, and people know he's about the right things. And as a private citizen this weekend, he took up a cause to protect basically the zoo area and some of its sanctuary spaces from just rampant greed and commerce.
Starting point is 00:28:03 A water park is never worked in South Florida. They're gathering places for mildew and feces. And he's just protecting the right things. And Billy found out something about himself this week. And because Billy, for as much as he runs into Ron McGill on Tuesdays, Billy into Ron McGill on Tuesdays. Billy likes Ron McGill. I believe that Ron McGill is the nation's preeminent person
Starting point is 00:28:31 to talk about the animals on television right now if you want an informed expert on something. And Billy went out there to support Ron McGill this weekend and his cause, a cause that seems like it's gonna win historically. And Billy learned that he is a terrible protester. Yeah, I'm not a good protester. Protesting's not for me is what I learned.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I thought, and I was going by myself, which was not the way to do protest. Like if you're, there I am at the protest, if you're watching on TV, and there's a great crowd as you can see. There was a big crowd, we got there too late evidently. Well, 50,000 people. Listen, really you can't get to a protest late. I know, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, I can, but you can.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Well, no, no, no, no. Well, first of all, I had fatherly duties in the morning and I was told this protest is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. So I said, okay, I haven't told 2 p.m. to get there. I got there like a 12.50 and and I saw this is when I really realized ProTesting wasn't for me. My plan is let me drive in and go to the parking lot and then I'll go walk up to the stage I'll say hi to Dan and Ron and Jess and Jeremy. Surely everyone will turn out for this So I'll go and say hi to everybody and then as I'm getting there
Starting point is 00:29:39 I see the protesters are on the street screaming at the cars going by and I said, I don't know that this is for me. Like I'm not one to scream at cars because you know, you're screaming and you're waving signs and all that stuff, but like cars are driving by like 45, 50 miles and I can't really read the signs, windows are up, you can't really hear what's going on. You just see a bunch of crazy people screaming
Starting point is 00:29:58 on the side of the road and said, I don't know if this is for me, but I thought. You're a real Monday morning protesters. What do you mean? I mean, do you just get here, there were hundreds of people there? Well, that's told me that all protesters are paid, so I was hoping to get a payday too.
Starting point is 00:30:10 So anyway. Are you wearing speed? Yeah, no, no. I would have been there. So anyway, so I figure, I'm not gonna go and I'm not gonna park in the parking lot once I see the protester on the street because that is a long walk from the street
Starting point is 00:30:21 to like the parking lot of Zuma Ami is like two miles almost. So I went and I parked at the Walmart, which I guess Ron wouldn't have liked being there, but it was great for parking the park there and then just walked to the protest. So that was beneficial. So I went and I walked over there. And as I'm walking, I'm like, I'm by myself.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I really hope I see these people because I didn't see Ron when I was driving by. Hopefully I see people because if not, this is you know, a little bit strange. I'm just by myself. I got there too late to get the t-shirt. I'm just wearing a great t-shirt. Everyone else is in these blue t-shirts,
Starting point is 00:30:47 holding signs, all this stuff. Did you miss the whole thing? Like how many people were there? There was a grill and stuff. There were hundreds of people there. Well, if you go back to the photo, you can see I found the DJ in the stage was still there. And then there's someone grilling something back there.
Starting point is 00:31:00 But this is when people were like, this is like a 1250, which is why I was kind of surprised, because it's supposed to be a Tilt-2, and I was like, where are all these people that I was supposed to? I was told that I was supposed to. Well, I mean, if we're here to fight, if we're here to fight the man, and we're not, you know, take the water slides away
Starting point is 00:31:15 from the zebra's or whatever it is that we're trying to do here, like let's be here until two o'clock, let's go through two o'clock. If we don't want these animals to have water slides, we need to fight until 2 p.m. so that they don't get their water slides, which by the way, animals in the zoo we've taken enough away from them, right? If they want to go on water slides, let them have the water slides. What are we doing? So I go over there and I go to the street where everybody's
Starting point is 00:31:36 protesting and it seems to just be high school like clubs that I think were left at this point in time, which was very confusing to me. When I was there, they started chanting, honk for the bats, but then half of the people didn't understand that, and they were, yeah, apparently this was a protest about bats. I didn't know until I got there what we were protesting. It's for bats, which I didn't know I was someone that cared about bats, but I learned that I was.
Starting point is 00:31:58 So half the people were chanting, honk for the bats, and then the other people didn't understand, and they were chanting, vote for the bats, so it was really confusing, because I didn't know if there was an election involved with the bats. You didn't people didn't understand and they were chanting vote for the bats. So it was really confusing because I didn't know if there was an election involved with the bats and you didn't have a sign of any kind. No, I thought we were gonna do that, but I missed the sign making portion.
Starting point is 00:32:13 So then I said, you know what, I don't know anybody here, I'm by myself. I don't have it in me to be screaming in cars while they're driving by. Surely I'll just go to the parking lot where I'll see, you know, Ron and every man will be there, I'll go. So I go back to my I'll just go to the parking lot where I'll see Ron and everyone will be there. I'll go.
Starting point is 00:32:26 So I go back to my car, I go to the parking lot, and that's where I took said photo, and that's when I thought to myself, I mean, it's the effort. There should be a water park here in a couple months. My confusion with the photo is, you know, if we're trying to save the animals, why are they grilling animals?
Starting point is 00:32:41 Well, not just that, I was also thinking, I was also thinking, imagine my carbon footprint driving all the way over here. I probably killed at least three or four bats with all of my carbon emissions, right? There are some conflicting moral, and then when I left Dan, I drove by the protesters and they were chanting about global warming
Starting point is 00:32:59 and I was like, guys, we've got in way off script here. Where is it supposed to be voting for the bats? Yeah, for the most moderners or honking for the bats. Or hon it supposed to be voting for the bats? Yeah. See, don't organize the... We're honking for the bats. We're honking for the bats. Yeah, we bats. Anti-water slides, which, for, I don't be perfectly honest with you, I love a water slide.
Starting point is 00:33:12 But I didn't want to say, I couldn't say that there. I thought about going to Walmart and having a counter process right across the street, pro water park, because that'd be funny, but it'd be just for me. Well, why didn't you do that? Well, because there's no camera anything. And I feel like it's just for me. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:33:26 See, if that's what we call it. If Ron was there, it would have been, if Ron was there, it would have been funny. You, you, where was Ron? Where was Ron? Ron was it a nearby chili? You probably could have got. What?
Starting point is 00:33:34 Ryan Pattrick to join you? The water park? No? Put it on the pole, please, at Labatard Show. Jeremy goes in the penalty box. Little away, yeah. That's my mistake. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:44 At Labatard Show. It seemed like a good my mistake. Yeah. At Levitard show. It seemed like a good time had by some of the people that were there, but they got off scripted a bit towards the end, they'd say. You will take this for a fourth joke. You'll take this up tomorrow with Ron McGill because it seems like you have a lot of criticism of him, actor, actually executing successfully
Starting point is 00:34:00 some activists. Stay till two. You weren't there, buddy. Well, I was, but I also. No, I'm saying Ron wasn't there at two. Yeah, where was he? He left it about one because after three hours of shouting at cars and honking about the bats,
Starting point is 00:34:12 three hours about covered it. Three hours of protest. This fight goes up until whenever this thing ends. What is it? Billy, you were late. I was out. It was baby's first protest, and you needed someone to hold your hand and make a sign with you and tell you how to yell and want to say and you missed all of that
Starting point is 00:34:28 so you were late but ronnie now but ron needs to realize that you know for every protest there's going to be some stragglers of people have you know they have do you want my support or do you not want me exactly tell me ten to two i get there before two you're not there i mean how are we supposed to convince these commissioners if we're not even there all the way through? You have the end building. Exactly right, till the final whistle dance of four quarter protest. And you have a lot of things going on in your life.
Starting point is 00:34:53 You're a father, a father of two. You took time out of your busy schedule between God bless football and all your other responsibilities around here to go out and protest something. And so you too may have missed likes to gots because you have family priorities. Some of the things that happened this weekend that were worth covering.
Starting point is 00:35:10 So I'm just going to catch you up here on some of the things. Awesome. Thank you. You need to know since you're behind Jim Urce this weekend. The culture, one of those teams right in the middle, they're about 20 of them. They're all three and five to five and three. Yep.

Jim Urse, I do word association with Jim Urse.

That's something he did. That cash and that's gonna go guitars. How about Lolita? How about trying to save Lolita? That's something that I found out recently. I'll go red face.

Starting point is 00:37:30 It's all of this. There's no way he pulled that out of the butt. He did. He said striking. I mean, you got it wrong, but you were good. I requested him for God's sake. I was going to say, probably requested his pen time, sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Another thing that I want to show you. You're going to have to bump a door in that. Another thing I want to show you. What I do is. What I do is. What I do is. What I do is. another thing that i want to show you have to bump a door in that another thing i want to show stu gots from this weekend is i'm being told that an assault was committed by a two-bar player but not using the tuba so let's check in here stu gots with a a tuba assault right very clearly a tuba assault i mean he didn't i don't know what the tuba right but he assaulted with mean, he didn't he didn't assault with the tuba, right,
Starting point is 00:38:05 but he assaulted with a right hand. That's embarrassing though. Well, and went right back to playing, didn't he? I mean, it was just it was two or three bang, bang, bang. The third one catches just surgical strikes punched. Why is there an airline pilot walking around behind him? Was he playing while he punched him? I think he was. He was multitasking.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I need more of a backstory here. How could one have a problem with a tuba player? Yeah. Because there were other tuba players there, but he seemed to have an issue with this one, and the issue was resolved promptly by the tuba player. I need to, I do need to recap some of what happened here for those who might not be able to see this.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Okay, the tuba player is large and and wearing a burgundy outfit and playing the hell out of the tuba. Is this Texas Southern? I think this is Texas Southern. And he is in a position above the stair climber, the stair climber emerges bearded and ferocious and filled with rage. And then it's with left hand still on tuba, but right hand breaking out,
Starting point is 00:39:07 one, two, three strikes to the chin. The third one knocking him over and the fourth one would have connected, but the guy was already going down. Beard was going down. Two, three, three surgical strikes and the fourth one would have connected. That tuba player, an assassin.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yes, yep. Very well done. But you can't do it in that outfit with that instrument and look cool while doing it. Looks like the guy in the band was too buff. Huh? Where are you back? Back to the box. The football from yesterday, Lamar Jackson was not going to be their quarterback and then seven to two and he drank Seattle and Detroit and we're all like yeah they're good, we know they're good and we'll see in the playoffs if they can be that good. We'll see if he can
Starting point is 00:39:54 last if his body can last for the second half of the season. If all if the season ended today all four AFC North teams would be in the playoffs right now. It's crazy. Is it Steelers? How is it? Is it? We don't need to talk about it. It's every two thirds of the league is between three and five and five and three. Like Hanson was weeping at four four and four teams yesterday. Thank you.
