Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats Podcast. Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Day Start of the day it is the.

Start of the day Start of the.

Day Start of the day it is the start of the day Stat of the Day is presented by Amazon Prime Video. Thursday Night Football is on. The Seattle Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals. Coverage begins Thursday at 7pm Eastern only on Prime.

We all believe the Ravens to be a good football team and this is not the stat. I'm going to give you three options on the stat. You guys choose one. But just as build up to the stat of the day I will tell you. The jets have allowed 93 points this season, the Bears have allowed 93 points this season, THE TITANS have allowed 94 points this season, THE DOLPHINS have allowed 97 points this season and THE RAVENS have allowed 9097 points this season. This is why the following three stats are true and you guys tell me which is the best of these. From Warren Sharp the Ravens have scored 104 points. They are 1 and 2. They are the only team since at least 2000 to have scored 100 plus points through three weeks but have a losing record. The other 25 teams with 100 plus points through three weeks went 68 and 7. This is from Dante Kopflem. The Ravens are the first team in the Super bowl era to score 100 plus points, rush for 300 plus yards and have a losing record through three games. And Lamar Jackson is the first quarterback in NFL history with nine plus passing touchdowns, zero interceptions and a losing record through three games.

Who was that stat from?

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm glad you did that. Always helpful the people around me. Dante Copflemm thank that's a funny name.

I don't know that fool.

I was just trying to give the source of the stat credit and look at the reward I get. It's everyone sitting around being Piranha.

Dante Kaplowitz Fleming. He's senior researcher for NFL and Good Morning Football.

I vote for the third one. I think it's astonishing that a quarterback like Lamar Jackson having that great a season. How frustrated must Lamar Jackson be right now? The most frustrated superstar in the league.

I mean, he had a big fumble and then after the fumble he had a fourth down conversion that he could have thrown early and held it late in, got sacked and stopped him at the goal line again. Like he's, he's not without fault here.

I feel like Mahomes is probably more frustrated right now than Lamar Jackson, but.

Lamar Jackson last night had no protection whatsoever. I mean he's more mobile, more nimble than 90% of quarterbacks and he had no chance because of his offensive line.

Mahomes can make the argument that I have reinforcements coming like Lamar Jackson's. Everything's there.

Like Lamar Jackson. Like I'm great and look at this, look at, look around me. I got to score. I score 30 points and I lose by eight.

All that, all that stuff is interesting, but I'm going to say that in this century, okay. After the year 2000, it's stunning to me to watch the Ravens physically handled by another team. What? Given what I've seen of Ravens football For the last 25 years, precious few times, like maybe they lose the way they lose against, against Buffalo earlier this season. Maybe they lose the weird way they lost against the Dolphins when TUA came back and, and got us all excited down here. But to see the Ravens manhandled when I just think of them as being a team that's not capable of being manhandled back from when Ray Lewis was stealing Eddie George's stole and Tennessee and Baltimore were playing the most physical games. You know, the Baltimore Ravens are, are going to be a physical football team to see not only the Lions go in there and physically do that, but their coach to be like, you know what? And I'm going for it. I'm fourth down and I'm throwing it.

Way down the field on such a balls move. 4th and 2 with 2 minutes left from, from their own side of the field.

Love it against your best corner. And St. Brown dust them.

When I saw someone point out like what makes that play so effective is the fact that St. Brown is always blocking. Like the fact that their wide receivers are such capable blockers that he can bluff that block and then slip out and you get the perfect throw. It just showed everything that Lions football.

Has been about, and they called a penalty on that play, too.

What also makes it effective is that very few teams in the league have the confidence to do that in that spot because they all play a little bit scared. Like they late game situations when everyone knows the criticism is. You've heard me say that. That real leadership always risks unpopularity. Rare. Is the coach willing to say, no, I've got the. I've got what I need. I will take whatever criticism you've got coming my way.

You think there would have been criticism had they not gotten it? I don't think so at this point. I think we know how they play, and I think it was a smart move, too.

I think the thing with Dan Campbell we're always talking about, like, oh, he's not a genius. Is there not genius in being a remarkable leader that can instill that confidence in your team? Everybody has genius in sort of different ways. And his ability to communicate with his team, to get them on the same page, to get them motivated the way that they do. No, he's maybe known as an X's and O's genius, but there is genius in that. No different than, you know, Mike talking about the genius of Mario Cristobal as an offensive line coach.

I mean, Dan Campbell from his introductory press conference, the eat the kneecap thing.

We'Re going to get up and on the way up, we're going to buy the kneecap off.

Okay, I'm not big on the culture thing. We got to change the culture. In Detroit's case, that guy, that coach went in and changed the culture on 50 years of losing.

Isn't that the problem here in Miami is the culture? Like, that's the exact problem, is that they have talent. But like all reports are, the culture is terrible and Mike McDaniel doesn't have control of the team.

Well, they tried to change. You know, trading Jalen Ramsey was part of the effort to change the culture.

Their way of changing the culture was just when the interview started in training camp. They're like, the culture's better now, right?

No, I mean fixed it. Look, I'll argue with anybody that the Dolphins are better than people say they are because they've been appreciably better in all three games or in the second and third games. I will not argue that they've solved the. The culture problem. But I think wrong.

I think if you guys are going to Start doing this with culture. I mean, I would just say that as it regards Dan Campbell specifically, rare is the coach who's that kind of fearless, because all of them worry a little bit about what's going to fall on their head, if they're the ones going to be blamed for losing and what's clear with this person and the way they play. Because as is right, this is just who the Lions are right now. They will. They. They had a season ended, at least in part, the most promising season in my lifetime, watching the Lions, the most hopeful season ended at least in part because Dan Campbell's always going to be fearless. He's. It. It's not going to be about math. It's not going to be about percentages. It's simply going to be, I'm going to convey my team all the time that I believe in these players, even if I fail believing in them.

They were so close to the super bowl that year. Dan Campbell and the Lions were so close to the Super Bowl.

The cool thing about Dan Campbell is like, he has the relational equity with the ownership group and with everybody there in the front office, where it's like he came in and was like, I'm going for it on fourth downs. Like, I don't really care.

But how does he have that relationship, relationship equity the day he's higher?

I know, that's the crazy part. It's like, wait, I'm just going to go for it on four down. Everybody's like, oh, wait a second, he's going to go fourth down.

Like, okay, yeah.

But Brandon Staley did the same thing and they ran him right out of the league. Well, the presentation matters. The president, Brandon Staley is only going to bite your kneecaps because that's where he is down there biting, is that he's knee. That he's face to knee with your kneecap and Dan Campbell's towering above you, just drinking a million coffees, breathing coffee breath and, and, and masculinity into your face mask.

So much masculinity.

If there's such a. I don't, I don't think there is such a thing, but if there were such a thing as completely neutral NFL fans who didn't have a rooting interest. You gotta cheer for the Detroit Lions to finally make the Super Bowl. This team is.

I was sharing for him two years ago.

I mean, they're, there's, they're so likable. Dan Campbell is so like, the Bucks.

Are that team for me as a beaten down Dolphins fan who's Just kind of looking around the league like, I think I'm gonna root for the Bucks.

They've won two Super Bowls in your life.

I know, but I like Baker. I'm kind of like.

I just.

Like, they're a fun team.

I think Detroit is the ultimate underdog that no longer is. That you got to root for. I don't think there are many other. Buffalo. I think a Detroit, Buffalo, Minnesota.

They've never won. They never won a Super Bowl. No, no. Yes. Minnesota, one of those.

But Buffalo hasn't even been in one, so.

No. I want Buffalo to get close.

We don't want Buffalo.

Guys, there's nothing that compares. The Lions, like, there's nothing in that sports history that's close to the Lions. Two of their best players quit early. Two of the best players in their history quit early because they're like, I'm not doing this anymore. That's a. That is a national laughingstock for 50 years.

Bills lost four straight Super Bowls, but they went. But they lost. I feel like the Jags and Browns are in the same kind of ballpark as you're talking about.

The Bills had expectations those four years and got to the Super Bowl. The Lions are never expected to do anything, ever.

I think failing on expectations is worse than not having expectations because your heart is broken, where you just go in, like, apathetic if you don't have expectations. You think Jaguars fans actually hurt?

I just think they're miserable.

I don't think they feel anything.

The. The Lions last won an NFL championship right around the time I was born. Okay, fathom that for a second. Now. It was. I can't remember exactly the year, but it was, like, 1957, 54. I mean, it's. It's been a lifetime.

I. I don't think anything comes close to the Lions. Their three best players ever. Two of them quit, and the other one won a Super bowl as soon as he left. Like, that's. That. Those are the three. Those are the three guys I associate the Detroit Lions with just always being losers for half a century.

But they've had a lot of good feeling lately. Like, the last two seasons have been great for them. They've won playoff games. They've been right at the doorstep of.

The best teams of my lifetime. Best Lions teams of my lifetime have been the last couple of years.

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. And I know it's early in the NFL season, but it has shown you exactly why the NFL is indeed king sport in the United States of America.

This is the quickest it goes. Hey, this is the quickest it goes.

Stugats everybody. This is the quickest it goes.

Yeah.

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

I wanted to figure out why it is that Billy and Zaz. I felt some jealousy because Billy evidently got into something that Zaz wanted to get into last night. Like what?

Well, look at your shirt. You're wearing the Smashing Machine shirt. And I. So the Smashing Machine comes out and let. That's the new movie with Rock.

Okay.

It's about Mark her, the MMA fighter. His name's Rock. And I wanted to see Smashing Machine last night because it doesn't come out till October. But I always like seeing the movies as soon as possible, Greg. Like if there's a premiere or if it opens days before I got to be one of the first people to see it.

It's the opposite of my dad.

Yeah, totally.

Do you like, like Big screen, small screens. How do you like to see it?

Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, the first viewing is in a theater.

Oh, you would love this. Imax.

Well, see, that's the huge screen. It's worst case scenario for me, where I tried to go see it last night. It was only playing in one place, but I didn't know how to get the tickets. And then Billy walks in this morning with it with his Smashing Machine shirt. I'm like, yo, where do you get the shirt? And he says, oh, I saw the. I saw the premiere last night. And I was like, God damn it. So he saw the movie and I didn't.

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I'm now an MMA influencer. I dabble in influencers.

What does that even mean, you're an MMA influencer?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I mean I'm an m. I don't understand the question. I'm an MMA influencer. A person of influence within the MMA community.

What have you ever done to influence someone MMA related?

I saw the Smashing Machine and I was invited. The MMA community said, you know what? We need someone of influence to go out there and spread the word on the Smashing Machine, an MMA movie.

And how did you then use a 24 knowledge and information to influence anyone? I'll bet you kept it yourself.

Why haven't got anyone? Well, because here's the thing. I'm unlike you. I'm not a boaster. You know, I go in there, I'm invited to come out, watch the movie, give my thoughts on it, influence the mma.

Who did you get the thoughts to?

I haven't gotten to really hear from.

The MMA community, reach it up and let you know.

So you haven't influenced a single person is what you're saying.

I wait my turn. I don't just interrupt people, cut people off, come in here, sit in other people's chairs. Like, that's not my thing.

Okay, so you're not influencer, you're an mma wait my turn person.

I'm. I'm waiting to influence the MMA world. Isn't the part of my thoughts on the movie, the part of influencing is boasting?

Yeah. When is this grand influence going to happen?

You wouldn't understand because no one wanted you to influence anything. And I was invited to influence, not just moviegoers, MMA community. I got this shirt. Some might say I'm a fashion influencer as well.

Nobody's saying that.

NASCAR invited me to Daytona 500. I influenced there. Then I went To Homestead. I influenced at Homestead. Then Mike came in and he stole my NASCAR thing. And that's fine. He can go to Chicago. He can go to those other races.

Tell you what, if I went to this movie last night, I'd be telling everybody about it. They're like, wow, Zazzle, you're an amazing influencer. Not like that guy Billy, who just holds all the information for himself, like a Schnur. He comes and sees the movie for free and doesn't tell anyone about it.

Look, look, look.

Excuse me.

Look, I can. Look, I catalog the influence community. Yep. Okay. I know influencers. I can verify Billy is an MMA influencer.

Okay, let's.

I can also report that you have applied to be a Pearl Jam influencer and have been rejected on numerous occasions.

I believe that.

I mean, these are falsehood.

I believe that. I'm just saying, you're a Pearl Jam beggar. If I remember correctly, the only way you went to go see Pearl Jam was if. Hey, Dan. Chris's dad bought you tickets.

Hey, we're not talking about Pearl Jam right here. We're talking about mma and we're talking about you.

Do you want me to ruin the movie? I'll tell you exactly what happened on the Smashing Machine. What is the truth? I'll tell you exactly how it ends.

If you ruin the movie for me. You and I, we'll get a problem.

What problem are we gonna have? I'll knock you down to the ground. I'll take your house.

A problem?

What?

See, that's how it works. You get them down on the ground, the house is yours.

You gotta keep me on the manners.

Yours.

You don't just knock me down. You gotta keep me on the ground.

Who's watching? MMA movie more recently, and it's about knocking people down. Me or you, the reject that couldn't go to the movie? And I'll tell you what. Right now. I'll tell you what.

Right?

Tell me what?

There was a lot of empty seats, and when I got there, they said, you have a plus one? You want to bring anyone? I was like, nah, I'm good. Nah, I'm good. So you're at a premiere.

Did you walk a red carpet?

Don't worry about me.

We're worried about you.

Why are you worried about me? I saw the Smashing Machine. I'll tell you what. There's been Oscar buzz about this movie.

Is he going to win the Oscar?

People have been saying there was 15 minutes, standing ovations at the end of.

Stand By Yourself amidst all the emp. Seats and give an ovation.

I was with people.

Big loser move if you did that ovation.

Excuse me, I was with people. Just not you or person, but whatever. It doesn't matter.

Did you chat that person up?

Yeah, we talked in the movie.

And what did they know who you were?

What do you.

They would know who I am if I went.

I went with a person. What are you talking about? Here's the thing.

Can I.

This is what I'll tell you.

Can I get some information on the movie?

Because there is Oscar buzz.

No, he's waiting his turn to tell.

It'S an influencer off.

Waiting.

There's Oscar buzz, but for the wrong person. Because I'm telling you right now, Baz Rudin kills it in that movie. I would give Baz Rudin the best supporting actor Oscar. Like that. Lickety split. I would do that. He crushes it in that movie. Crushes it.

That's what an influencer does.

Thank you, Greg.

That's what an influencer does.

Terrible movie opinions.

Watch the movie. Watch the movie and tell me that.

I didn't want to get.

Oh, that's right.

You can't watch them.

There's awards buzz now for Boss Root.

Talk to me in three weeks when you get around to see the movie and tell me that Baz Rudin did not steal the show.

I don't have a response to that.

Not. Neria mentioned a Speedy. I'll tell you that right now. No one mentioned Speedy Rudin in that movie once, which was the one flaw of that movie.

Inside a reference that is. You're making a joke from 10 years ago.

What do you mean?

Beatty Root.

When we had Boss's dog.

When we had Boz Root on the show. You just made a joke that no one in our audience.

The ones that did, though.

Tony, I. I have.

The movie was kind of bad.

We were.

What? Oh, what?

What? That's been.

Everything I've.

Everything. Everything I've heard about the movie is that he's great in it.

But the movie.

Baz Rudin is great. No, the rock. I'm not certain about that.

You're saying that rock was bad?

I would say bad. Boss Rudin was good is what I said. Boss Rudin was great.

Rock bad in the movie.

That sounds like the Pablo drop.

Yeah.

A long sigh. Almost as long as the ovation I.

Think he just answered.

I don't think that he's gonna win an Oscar.

Okay.

But that maybe there's a lot of room in between winning an Oscar and being bad.

Listen, here's here's. Let me explain to you how influencing works, since you don't get it. If I come out here and I say, man, that movie was dreadful. The Rock was horrible, and I think then my influencing game is done. So I just come out here and I say, you know what? Baz Rudin was great in that movie. Boz Rudin was great. I will say. I'll say this about the movie. There was not a standing ovation after the movie ended. There were some. Some people clapping. Notice, not a standing ovation when the movie was over. And there were also parts that were kind of dark. People started laughing, and I was like, I don't know if that was. We're supposed to laugh at that or not. Like, it was a little confusing there sometimes.

So you don't want to. You don't want to say anything specifically negative about the Rock, because then maybe your influencer status is gonna get taken away.

No, I wouldn't be compromised like that. I just said Baz Rudin was great in the movie.

But you're holding back from maybe your real opinion.

What do you mean? No, my real opinion is Baz Rudin was great. That was my opinion.

Buzz Rudin is always great. What I was beginning to tell Tony because we were talking algorithms earlier. I. My algorithm has picked up recently a whole bunch of buzz rut and fights and his leg. His leg kicks are lunacy. Like, I would not. I can't believe anybody would fight that person.

People didn't do leg kicks. And I was like, all right, I'm just going to kick this guy's legs. What do you mean you're going to kick his legs? And then all of a sudden, he can't use his legs. Just like, just chop into the calf. You're like, oh, my God, I can't walk.

What was the commentary around that where they're like, that's not fair.

It's like, what is he doing? He's kicking his legs. Okay, good, good, good thing on you. And then all of a sudden, you can't walk. Billy, I didn't want to bring this up because obviously, as an MMA influencer.

Yeah.

You're big in the community. Obviously. I know the community pretty well. I'm saying I know the community pretty well.

We know of you. We've heard of you.

Right? So I'm. I'm excited to announce 10-4-influencer for the MMA community. Billy Gill is going to be on the MMA hangout at Casa Tiki live October 4th.

You imagine we're still. Can you imagine we're still done some T's and cross some eyes, but we'll see. We'll see how that works. Last time I heard, that place had a house inside of it. So it seems like they need to take down a house.

We actually keep that.

Do a whole thing. We'll figure it out.

Tony's always coming to you with ideas about how to make money. And, well, but now you guys. You guys are working on what. Because you guys are always nothing, but Tony's always trying to hatch something with you, and you are businesses going. So how to make money is something.

Here's. Here's the thing that me and Billy were looking around and saying. How can we make money? Because we look around at other people and we're like, how do they make money?

That's really the question is how do other.

How do other people make money?

Because I see what things cost. I see what people have. And I'm not a pocket watcher, but I'm watching. I'm curious. Yeah, I'm curious how it is that people make money. Tony's in the home market right now looking for a home, and then he sees, oh, that house costs $2.9 million. Someone has that money.

Somebody has that money.

And how they get that money.

Exactly right.

How'd they get that money?

You've got three Porsches.

Yeah. How does Tony get. Oh, Porsche. It's just one and a porch. What are our theories?

How did you get all that money, Dan?

How did you get that money?

Well, Dan, we can't talk about Dan. Dan. Well, other people.

Wow.

We know what. Dan, did we. I need to know what other people are doing. Are people in just tremendous amount of debt.

That. I think that that is kind of.

People just in Miami, millions of dollars.

Of debt, and they're like, yeah, I'm good. Like, no, no biggie.

Here's the thing, though, about that. They seem happy.

They seem very happy.

They seem so happy in so much debt.

You know who seems unhappy?

I can tell you who seemed unhappy.

Mark Kerr. Greg.

Cody, too.

We got to get him a cough button over here.

He has one. He has one.

Yeah.

He's just.

He hears it's on your mind. Take a swig of the Gatorade combined again. I feel like when you had them all three in there together, it kind of cleared you up.

You know what I just noticed about Gatorade?

What?

This is all news to me. First of all, all three of them say contains no fruit juice. Okay. I'm not saying it's false advertising because they have it right here in small writing. You got to really look for. But you would assume there's fruit juice in here. Number two, every one of them is the same exact amount of calories. You'd think they would be different.

Why?

Because three different drinks, you know, they're three different drinks.

I would think that it's more or less the same recipe. It's just like the. The little flavor, the coloring.

Yeah, but you think they would be slightly different. You know, one's 80, one's 82.

Give me the Ray Hudson music, please.

It's a good observation, actually.

Thank you.

Ray Hudson. Ray Hudson. Ray Hudson. Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson. Call of the day. Ray Hudson. Ray Hudson. Ray Hudson.

Call of the day.

Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson.

Nobody's working out there. People are just out on the street. Oh, yeah, like I. In Porsches, in maseratis and Mercedes Benz. Nobody's working. We're just hanging out, Dan. Traffic, one o' clock in the afternoon. People just driving in expensive cars, just driving around, having fun, living life. Hey, you don't need to work.

Cool.

What.

What.

What did you do to not have to work anymore? Because I need to do that.

That Miami.

I want to know.

This is what damn money. This is what Dan wanted.

What would you do to.

To. To make money?

Yeah.

A lot of things. I'm here to make money.

You don't have a house.

I did that then.

That's.

That's a. That's a large.

You're not just here for the love of the game.

Can we get paid for the love of the game?

If you had to get paid by people honking at you, you'd be doing terribly well.

No, again, pre. Pre. Going on the air, I had like 10 honks, and then all of a sudden they come in and nobody honks like the train.

Honk. Because I think that was.

No, the train was fake. The train was. Even though there is a train honk. Make 10 bucks if I got paid by the honking honk.

On your way to a house when.

You'Re paid by the honk. Remember the bumper stickers? Honk if you do this, honk if you do that. They used to be everywhere. Everywhere you drive, you'd see a honk. If this bumper stick.

Would you ever honk? What would you honk for?

You know, it depends if you're horny. Yeah, yeah.

That's the go to if you're watching lion videos.

Yes, baby. Oh, yeah.

My favorite bumper sticker is my. My kid beat up your honor roll student. Yeah.

That's funny.

Everyone who has one of those is an.

But again, not working and in a Range Rover. So what do you tell me?

Dan, play the Ray Hudson call, please.

Is electrifying as a hair dryer thrown into a hot tub, my friend.

Absolutely breathtaking.

He puts the Haitian voodoo rattle on this one. Oh, like Betamax. They them like him anymore. Don LeBatard.

What do I got here? I got a Magnum condom. We won't get that out.

That's shocking.

Stugats.

Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.

Right next to the condom.

Yeah.

Never forget it. This is the Dan Levatar show with the St. Gods.

Tony was out on the streets feeling betrayed by the Falcons. And I don't know if you guys saw this, but after losing to Carolina, they just fired their receivers coach, Ike Hilliard. Like, it's. Like it's early in the.

Mike is the scapegoat.

It's early in the season to be doing that. They blame their wide receiver coach, Ike Hilliard. Did any of us feel like Ike Hilliard was responsible for losing to Carolina 30 to nothing?

He's a beautiful scapegoat. That's what he is. And the Gators offense needs him back. I wonder if he's got any eligibility left.

Greg, would you be kind enough to tell us why it is that you were talking so much before the show about chainsaws? Is there any particular reason that you were you. I have never held a chainsaw before. I've never held one in my hands before. Have put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Have you ever used a chainsaw? Yes or no? What is the answer to the question in the room?

I have.

Everyone else has. Billy, you have. Jeremy, have you used a chainsaw before?

Have you looked at me? No, obviously not.

You have it.

P and I are Jewish. Come on.

I have a chainsaw in my garage right now. It's one of those. I think it's a foot and a half blade. And chainsaws, most of us associate them with cutting down trees or pruning branches or something like that. That's the predominant use now, of course, the chainsaw was invented not for that, but for widening the pubic cartilage to aid in child delivery back in the 18th or 19th centuries.

I looked that up.

Yeah, that's exactly right. That was the chainsaws. That's a Three facts Jack from the Greg Cody show podcast. Occasionally, in researching that, I come up with a fact that not only I didn't know but that astonishes me.

I feel like that's a fact. We could have all gone the rest of time without needing to know.

It's important information.

It's a fact, Jack.

Thank you.

That seems insane.

It was different, though. It was not the modern. No, it's different. It was a flexible saw.

It was chainsaw.

It was the. That's why you came in here today, talking about the chainsaws?

Yes.

Why did this come up on the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody?

Three Facts, Jack.

Every week I have a segment called Three Facts Jack every week where I astonish listeners with something that I'm sure they didn't know. And that was number two this week, I believe.

What was better than that?

I can't even remember what they were. What was the number one? Listen to the podcast. We'll all find out together.

So, Greg, when I was looking for that fact to just confirm Google, I did confirm it for me. So I clicked on the link that it used as proof, and it was a Facebook post from someone named Craig Peterson on the official site of the rock band Slave Raider. So I don't back up information.

Yeah.

Know anything about that? Good to distance yourself there, Greg.

I don't source. I don't source. AI, you know, I. I go right to the. I go right to the source.

So what was the source?

Well, I talked to several relatives of women who 200 years ago had this procedure done and they verified it to me. So it really is a fact, Jack.

I have a correction from earlier, Greg. So Minnie Pearl was a stage name, not her actual name. So she may not actually be related to Bruce Pearl.

Wow. I wonder if Pear Pearl knows that.

I don't know Bruce. Yeah, I wonder if that's his real name. Let me look it up.

Yeah. Minnie Pearl was famous for. On stage, she would wear a hat with the price tag left on it.

That's right.

You know, she was a country, country, country comedian.

Bruce Allen Pearl. It is his real name. Okay. Yeah.

Winnie Pearl's real name.

Oh, for the love of God, Greg.

I'm just curious.

Please.

It could be a three face.

You are here now, Greg.

You came in here today, okay, talking about chainsaws and you about for some reason being naked and getting your. Getting your fat percentage.

This is. Look, I have to read this sentence to you because it's astonishing, okay? And this is serious stuff. A Rhode island judge sentenced an ex high school basketball coach to a year of probation after he spent decades asking hundreds of male student athletes if they were shy or not shy. Before asking them to get naked to check their body fat. Now, what's astonishing to me about that sentence is the word decades. Like, during those decades, there wasn't a kid. Mom. The kid gets home from school. Mom says, teddy, how was your day today? He says, mom, it was good, but it was weird. In basketball practice, the coach had everybody get naked, and mom goes to the principal. Why did that never happen in decades?

I'm gonna do this again.

I'm just asking.

Stop talking. Sarah. Ophelia. Collie Cannon. Is mini pearl maybe related to Nick Cannon? Let me check.

Yeah, please.

Ophelia is a name that you don't see anymore.

Well, that's because she was born 791dog years ago.

Minor penalty. Two minutes for verbal diarrhea.

That's harsh.

Just out on a three facts, Jack.

Get out of here. Just leave for a little while.

Impressive last couple minutes.

I mean, just unbelievable across decades.

Someone should have said something to the principal. Honestly, Greg's right about that.

Yes, he is. He's not that it would have been.

If it was only like, five years. It's still bad.

Just. Just leave for a little while. Gather yourself.

Chainsaw fact was interesting. So the punishment was just the guy has to stand somewhere naked. That. I don't. I don't quite understand that as a punishment. What was the punishment?

He was checking people's body fat. You know, when. When they take out those pinchers, Dan. Dude, I remember those as bigger, huskier kids. You know what I'm talking about?

I had those pinches.

They're like, hey, on your poncita. Let me see if I can grab as much fat as I can. It's always right.

It's always, like, right here.

Got a lot of fat.

The armpit.

Remember those chest.

It's always right here for.

That's the Ponceta right there.

Yeah, the love handles. Yep. Zaslow was. Was celebrating something that I don't often see celebrated. Jerry Jones has decided and has said for some reason that Micah Parsons isn't going to get Greg. Go to the penalty box. It's not a punishment.

What are you doing?

Sit there lounging? Just sit there lounging. Go to the penalty.

That's a nice shirt. It is a nice shirt Jeremy would wear.

Yeah, of course.

I.

That's a great shirt.

I figured out that shirt. So you asked before. The material. I think it's a cotton blend. But the best way I would describe it is if your clothes and Tony's clothes had baby clothes, it would be that shirt. Like, if your clothes and his clothes made it. It would be that shirt. What do you mean?

Oh, the shirt that I'm wearing. The shirt that he's wearing.

No, not necessarily today. Yeah, our styles. I get it. No, that makes sense.

So Zaslow, as I was saying, Zaslow and Jerry Jones are aligned.

Yeah.

Because Jerry Jones says no tribute for Micah Parsons. Or how does. How does Jerry Jones refer to Micah. Micah Parsons.

Michael Parsons.

He says that he is not going to celebrate him. And you. You cosign.

Absolutely. So they're playing this weekend, packers at Cowboys. So Michael Parsons is making his return to Dallas. I'm so over this. This culture where we have to do tributes to every player who's returning to the venue they played in before. Michael Parsons was a really good player. Guess what the tribute was? The paycheck he got every other week. That's right. That's how we thank you. You get paid to be really, really good if you want a Super Bowl. Okay, then let's have a conversation about a tribute. Otherwise, he played there for what, four or five years, didn't win shit, and now we're gonna do a tribute. And you know what? I've also had it with this statue conversation. Can we cool it with the players who get statues? Get the hell out of here. It's enough of this. A tribute. We gotta thank everybody.

I think the Heat gave one to Gabe Vincent.

The Heat, a couple weeks ago when they traded Haywood Highsmith. They put out this. This whole picture. Thank you, Heywood. Thank you for what? For what? Hey, you got paid. Hey, you got a paycheck. That's the. Than you. What are we doing? Everyone's going to get tributes.

Michael Parson.

Jerry's right on this.

Jazz, I don't know how you feel about this, but Greg said that Don Staley shouldn't get a statue. That was too much.

Why can't we enjoy the celebrating of greatness? What are you objecting to coaching, though?

It's weird, right?

It's like, oh, Michael Parsons is still playing.

I mean, it's like a statue.

What is the explanation that Jerry had was no one sees you.

Dad.

Were there quotes from. From Jerry Jones on why it is that he doesn't want to celebrate Michael. Michael Parson with a tribute?

Yeah, some of the effect of it was different when Emmett came back. You're damn right, Jerry. It's a lot different when Emmett came back. He won three Super Bowls. Come on, Michael Parsons. Pat on the back. We appreciate why we here. And I'll go. Go play for Somebody else tributes the hell out of here.

No. No statue, no tribute. Just a paycheck and a slap on the back. A hard slap on the back.

Enough of this. Oh, you played for us. Thank you forever.

What the direct quote is. I don't think that's appropriate. It's not this way. Emmett was a different story. That's not to diminish. Micah. I think Micah has Michael Parson enough welcome out there, and we just need to show that we've got antidotes for that.

He's right. No, I don't know if they have anecdotes.

Don't really know.

He's right about the rest of it.

It'd be great if they thanked him.

And it said, michael Parson has enough welcome out there. And we just need to show that we've got antidotes for that. Enough welcome.

What does that.

What does that mean?

I think he means that, like, enough people are gonna, like, you know, cheer for him.

Antidotes.

Well, that. That's. He's talking about their offense. He thinks their offense could be the antidote. I'm not so sure about that.

Strange thing for you to get so angry about. You're getting really fired up.

So lame how we have to thank everyone who played for us. Oh, my God.

Zaz is right. I mean, he played four years for the Cowboys. Who cares, and never won anything. Look, LeBron played four years for the Heat but won two championships. You know, you give him a tribute. You don't give Micah a tribute.

You guys are sitting here. You guys have decided to take the position of being anti gratitude. That's what you two are doing right now.

That's what the money's for.

They're pro appropriate gratitude. They are saying this is inappropriate gratitude. He got his gratitude already.

Plus, the gratitude is something you do in retrospect. This is a few weeks after he was traded. This is the same season he's here to try to beat you today. You don't say, hey, thanks a lot. Now go kick our ass, Michael Parson.

I'm with you, Jerry.

I'm with.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here, Cuervo?

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during Ann reads like Cuervo, I think you could lay out especially.

For one of our great partners, sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to.

Its roots, the same family, the same land, the same passion.

Cuervo.

So enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Cuervo.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.
