Transcript of The Big Suey: Greg Cote Remembers Nothing (feat. Earleen Cote)

Sag mal, Nikola, hast du auch immer dieses Gefühl, bei der Steuererklärung mit einem Bein schon im Knast zu stehen?

Boah, nee, gar nicht.

Wieso Steuer ist so die Steuer-App, mit der ich wirklich nichts falsch machen kann.

Wow.

Das heißt, damit ist alles sicher?

Ja, genau.

Wieso Steuer ist die Steuer-App, die dich versteht. Weil Steuer betrifft ja dein ganzes Leben.

Arbeit, Kinder, Partner. Du kannst nichts falsch machen.

Stimmt. Nice. It doesn't feel like a tax issue. Celebrant is done?

Safe.

With Viso Steuer. Now, you can test it.

Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to 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 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, fatface, and the Habitual Liar.

This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. Draftkings, the Crown is yours.

Greg Cody, when we I confused you two weeks ago, wondering if someone 10 years younger than Bill Polian would have the memory two weeks later to remember who it is that he voted for. Did you or did you not vote for Reggie Wayne?

You had to start off with a tough one, didn't you? Damn it. Probably because I'm a homer, yes, but I don't think I did.

That's exactly the Polian quote that he gave when Don Van Nadeh called him because you did not vote for Reggie Wayne. You can't.

My final answer was, I don't think I did.

Yeah, but you can't really remember. You're not sure. Eli Manning. Did you vote for Eli Manning? Hell, no.

Hell, no? No.

Did you vote for George Seaford?

No.

Did you vote for Mike Shanaher? No.

I am nailing this.

Reggie Wayne is not nailing it.

The last thing I said was, I don't think I did.

Did you vote for Tori Holt?

Close call. No. Wow. No.

Did you vote for Luke Keekley?

No.

Did you vote for Chuck Knox?

No. Dan is withering because I'm nailing this.

What's your problem with Shanahan and Chuck Knox?

Did you vote for Jason Witten?

No.

Did you vote for Frank Gore?

Yes, as everyone should have. He's the third all-time leading rusher. How can you not vote for Frank Gore? That's why I hate voting panels other than the baseball writers. But when you fill out your ballot, the baseball ballot, there's a checkmark, make my ballot public. Of course, I check it all the time. There should be complete transparency. We should know exactly who did and didn't vote for Belichick. Complete transparency across all Halls of Fame. That's what I'm calling for as commissioners.

Do you know who you voted for in baseball this year?

My ballot seven Two weeks ago?

Yeah, whatever.

I mean, if you give me the same, did you vote for him or not? I would tell you, of course. Yes, I'll take that quiz.

But you can't remember. You'll take the quiz, but you can't remember.

I remember several of the names I voted for. I mean, I don't remember all of them. I think I voted for seven.

This is a good game, interrogating and badgering an old person. I like this game.

It's ageism. It's ageism.

Did you or did you not vote for Bobby Abreu?

No.

It can't be. Stumped him on the first one.

That's a close vote. I remember going back and forth on him.

Yeah, you asked me about that one, I think.

I'm pretty sure I did, but I'm not positive.

Final answer?

I thought he was a very close vote.

You did not vote for him.

He's right there. So I was correct then? No.

Nope. That is what it's being married to.

I said it was a very close call, but I don't think I did.

All right, let's move on.

You said, I'm pretty sure I did, but I'm not positive.

Well, I was misquoted.

Can I ask him one more?

It's like Charles Barkley claiming to be misquoted in his autobiography. He It's it. Charles Barkley actually claimed that he was misquoted in something that was an autobiography.

Did you or did you not vote for Felix Hernández?

I did not.

That is correct.

Thank you.

Did you or did you not vote for Carlos Beltrón?

Absolutely, yes.

That is correct.

Okay.

You should have quit while you were ahead, Seth. I don't know why you didn't. You said one more. I don't really know why you decided to keep doing that. We got the payoff that we needed.

I love the that is correct, though. When he says that is correct, it just warms my couples.

Some of your favorite words, sir, you were right about that, but you never admit you're wrong about that.

I admit when I'm wrong all the time.

Oh, no, you do not. That's not- I'm famous for admitting when I'm wrong. Can you call your mother, please? I'd like to talk to her, Lynn, and just put down famous. Okay. Does Greg admit when he's wrong? Because I think old people keep getting more and more stubborn. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show, and this is what's happening with the Miami heat.

Chris, I do not want to call my mom today because someone's going to ask her about the wand.

Yeah, you got to do that for the show.

Do you always handle the wand?

We're making Valentine's Day shirts. Angels already been summoned. We're putting in the rush supply right For Valentine's Day, my wife always handles the wand is among the funniest things ever said inadvertently on this show.

Also, is Jim, Tommy, Ginger or just White?

He's not pure.

Really?

He's in the Sam Darnold category. Although, we had it up yesterday. I did notice after the show, Sam Darnold's arms. But his hair is just clearly not a full ginger. But his arms bring him closer to pure than I gave him credit for.

It's not skin tone, it's freckles.

It's more freckles. I just got to see your hands. I to see if the freckles go to the hands and it's the beard and then the top. Because a lot of people got the red beard. It's really what it looks like when you take the hat off.

Chris, but what is... Just, I don't know what you're doing here, okay? You claimed yourself an authority yesterday. Put it on the Paulette Lebitard show. Do you have to see the ginger's hands to see if the ginger is indeed a true and authentic ginger.

It's part of it. Cuticles. They give the game away.

Okay, but what is the feature above all others? Because you dismissed Sam Darnold as a ginger yesterday, and then you saw his arms, and you didn't even inspect his So what is the thing on the body? Because I thought it was the red. Forgive me, I thought it was the red.

You're an amateur.

Okay, that's what you say. But you say you're an expert and you didn't check Arnold's arms, and he's a Super Bowl champion, and you failed.

It's pretty easy to follow. I think his criteria is pretty well established.

It's your freckle per capita. It's your beard.

The pale skin.

Cuticles are part of it.

But what's the order of those things? Because you dismissed Arnold, and he's paler than- The porn thing. Andy Dalton. Yes, you gave me that already.

It doesn't seem like there's a tier. It's a combination. It's an augumation of all those.

Got to have three out of the four.

Gingerporn, you're looking at the hands. Okay.

I don't watch Gingerporn. No one like, Ginger's don't watch Gingerporn. Some people have red heads as a thing for them. Not for me.

Put it on the bowl at Levatard show. Do gingers watch Ginger boar?

Self-loathing thing. You don't want to see it. You think I've hooked up with a ginger? Get out of here.

That would be- Sean Penn in one battle after.

Two gingers hooking up would just be like, for me, that'd be an eyesore. I'd be like, What are we doing here?

More ginger? Ginger Girls. I love them. Wait a minute. Are you claiming that Andy Dalton might have had parents who were both ginger?

That can't be. You've never seen a ginger with a ginger. They just don't date. I'm telling you.

Wait, you guys talk about this? No, I'm with them. It's too much.

Have you ever seen just two gingers holding hands walking down the street? It's like crossing the stream.

Not in Miami. Crossing the stream. I'll tell you that.

Put it on the poll. Would you be scared if you saw two gingers holding hands crossing the street? I don't know what we're doing there, but you're You're claiming, just to be clear, the most authentic and originals of the gingers would be if you had two ginger parents, correct? Then you would look at their cuticles.

Correct, but you never see that. So one ginger parent pure is usually good enough. What's with the cuticles?

It has usually a lot of dry skin. What? Because the skin's not in great shape. It's pretty sensitive, especially around the arms.

Yeah, my elbows are super dry.

You said that with the right tone, being gentle. You You were very gentle with the ginger community as a self-loathing ginger just said, You never see gingers with other gingers because we don't think gingers are attractive.

We don't think we're attractive. It's just like, We just both know this would be weird.

It's not my main focus, but it is adjacent to my general observations when it comes to teeth, hair, skin.

According to howtobeareadhead. Com, it is a rarity for a ginger to another ginger because often they're stared at in public. What? It's like too much at once. That last line was unnecessary, but not individually, but together. Stared at in public?

I don't think it's a big- Redhead bullying taught this couple to feel proud instead of embarrassed.

In Miami, I do tend to linger.

I don't think that it's a big leap from all the things, a big logic leap from all the things that we're talking about to say, based on available information, that gingers don't find other gingers attractive, or at least not attractive enough to choose a life that allows them to be stared at in public, which usually- You'll just get a lot of, Oh, is that your sister?

Plus, they think we all look the same. That's another thing. Every day, I walk somewhere like, Hey, you look familiar. It's like, Oh, I have red hair. You saw another red head. Thanks. We don't all look the same.

It depends on what part of the country you're in because Boog Shambi down here turns heads. That is true. He does. For Miami, I'm not saying he's an odd-looking individual. I'm saying he's an odd-looking individual for Miami.

He made the mistake of allowing me one year to buy his Halloween costume, so I took all of that and bought a giant red heart, and he will never make that mistake again because you think they were looking at him a lot under those circumstances. People listening to the show might not know that Zaz got his start with the original, the O-G, the original Ginger, Bug Shambi.

First time I was ever allowed on a microphone.

That is where Zaz learned to apply his craft.

Local Mount Rushmore.

What a surgeon Bug Shambi was at hosting a talk show. I wanted to get to Greg Cody's Super Bowl home experience. How did your dish go over?

It went over exceptionally well, my chapino. People really loved it. I had someone say, Can you make this for my birthday? It turned out exceptionally well. I do something with my chapino that most people don't do. I don't put fish in it. I use only mussels, clams, and shrimp.

Wow, that's unusual. I didn't know very much about chapino, but I thought it was a fish dish.

Well, it's a combination. It's a seafood dish, but it's uncommon not to put fish in it. But I simply choose that. Even if you get a firm fish, it tends to fall apart a little bit. And I just prefer the shellfish and the shrimp. Shrimp is out of the shell, very easy to consume. And the shellfish, the clams and mussels, Very easy. It falls right off.

The appreciation was where you wanted it?

Yeah, it was because it's not a dish that normally would be served at a Super Bowl party. At a Super Bowl party, you think of chicken wings, chips and dip salsa. This is a little more involved. You got to have a bowl, you got to have a spoon. It's super hot. But it went over very well. I was accepting it.

I will say it was getting rave reviews. That's why I did the move of took some to go because just like I said earlier in the week, it's a delightful dish that I want to eat, but it's just at a Super Bowl party. I'm wheeling and dealing. I'm chips, I'm wings, I'm nachos. I didn't have time for a bowl. Yeah, respectfully. If I were to walk in, you were to invite me in, I would see that, I'd be like, I'm good, actually. I'm fasting today. People were raving, though, so I did bring some home. I'm going to eat it today. Guys, let me tell you something. One of the greatest joys of my life was when they finally opened the White Castle in my neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona. I lost my mind because I'm so used to eating White Castle at home when I was in New York. Now, I can have it all the time. I'm in Phoenix.

But when I come to Miami, there's no White Castle. You know what I do? Go to the freezer aisle because right there, they got the variety pack with all the great White Castle flavor in there.

You're getting a lot of slider styles. You're getting classic American cheese. You're getting jalapeno cheese. If you're a lover, you're getting that new Chedder Bacon Cheese Sliders.

The classic cheese gives you all the taste of a great American burger, while jalapeno cheese sliders give a serving of spicy to each bite. The new Chedder Bacon Cheese, That literally brings home the bacon, folks, with real pieces of bacon in Chedder-flaved cheese. Guys, I know what you're thinking. Your mouth is watering.

My mouth is watering. Just reading this, that's completely normal.

You can find each of these sliders where? In the grocery store, in the freezer aisle.

Bonus, they're all in the same box. You don't even have to go to the food box.

No, it's one variety box. It's got them all in it. And all of these sliders are made with 100% beef. Perfect for game day, late nights, or anytime you just want something awesomely, oniony, satisfying, steamy, and unapologetically cheesy.

Don Levatard.

He called me on my own podcast. He called me full of shit claiming that I'm faking interest in the solar eclipse.

Well, you do this. You love to just get excited about everything.

Okay, Junior. Stugatz. I had to school you and explain to you.

He was going to take you to Augusta.

When I was 17 years old, Alan Cherry and I used to haunt the Buhler Planetarium.

This is the Don Levatard show with the Stugatz.

Well, the thing about that dish, though, is that the next day, it's still good in terms of the shellfish. But after that, I wouldn't keep the muscles and the clams and eat it five days later.

He's insulted you by If he's going to do it two days later, it's not going to be as good as when you prepared it correctly. You take some indignation, some insult from the fact that... I think the most offensive thing your kids do is they don't read your sports columns. But this would be a close second of not respecting the time you take to cook something.

In this case, I forgive them because there was a ton of food. Somebody made sloppy Joe's and we got- A Slopy Joe's.

I haven't had that. I love Slopy Joe. That's where I was at. That's Super Bowl food right there. I saw that come in and I'm like, I don't have time for chapino today.

Right. Well, even I didn't save my entire chapino. I took out the clams and the Muscles, ate them individually, and essentially just saved the broth, which also has chopped clams in it. So the broth I still have, and that'll be good in the fridge. That'll be good a week later.

You like it extra sloppy?

Sorry, Dan. Mike, why are you looking so askew at Greg Cody?

I'm just taking it in, listening to what the show has become.

What do you mean listening to what the show has become? What is that supposed to mean? As if the show hasn't always been, wander around Greg Cody's meandering, see what's over there, see where he's insult?

I looked at my notes for what it felt like for five minutes, and I looked back up and he was still talking about clams.

Are you not aware that you have to give on the days that he doesn't have a back in my day? I thought you would have learned this by now as someone who's been around the show for as long as you have. You have to give him three minutes to talk about the shit that he wants to talk about, or you will lose him later in the show. Have you not figured that out yet?

Well, we lost somebody.

Mike didn't want to learn. He didn't want to earn.

Okay, I'm going to have to do this to myself here.

Minor penalty, two minutes for explaining the show. Dad, since you mentioned God, I want to earn, God, I want to learn, why don't you update the Greg Cody catchphrases for this week?

Do you remember those? Oh, my gosh.

Here we go again. He doesn't remember what two he picked this week. What number are we even on? Dude.

We're on 40 and 39.

Write them down. I think that was last week.

No, last week was 40, 41, and 40.

So you're going to do 40 again?

No, it's a new one. Christopher's setting me up here to embarrass me.

I'm trying to tease our podcast.

Tell me what the second one was, because I remember the first one, but the first one wasn't very good.

Just give the first one then.

No. No. You go ahead. Do you remember them?

I was legitimately just trying to tee you up to set up the buy.

I know, but I've done 50. I do 50 of them. I don't remember the order of every one.

But you haven't done 50 of them.

No, but we've done 11 now.

Greg, I just want to let you know, Mike wrote something down over here, and it usually does notes for the show. He wrote something down that I think you want to be careful about.

Okay.

Too much, Greg. I can throw this away, though. We can turn it around. All we got to do is ignore you for a good 30 That's what I'm trying to think. It'll be a nice little recalibration.

Christopher is the one who intentionally set me up to fail.

Teeing you up to tease your podcast is setting you up to fail. No.

It's literally your bit. He's setting you up to do your thing.

Okay, but first of all, I only want to give one of them, and it's the second one, number 39, that I'm trying to think of, but I just can't remember it offhand. Give the one you can think of. No, because it's a bad one.

Well, if it's a bad one, why did you even make the list?

Give me the good one.

It's controversial. I thought it deserved to make the list. Christopher didn't, but now he can't even remember it.

What is it?

I don't remember. You should get back in there. I just remember it was bad.

You don't remember either of them? Right. This is one of the all time. Write them down. It's unbelievable.

I leave you alone for two minutes, and you guys all forget how to do the show, and it's just badgering an old man. What do you remember? You don't remember anything.

He doesn't remember anything.

Do you know how hard it is to arrive at a point where we're saying an hour and a half into the show, we're saying too much, Greg. I leave every show Greg does, everyone saying, Not enough, Greg.

Not enough, Greg. This is a pleasant change.

Today, 80 minutes in, you guys are just asking him, What do you mean you don't remember things you did on your podcast? He's absolutely right. He's right. It's been too much, Greg, today. We ask you questions. You don't know how to promote your own podcast. You don't remember your Hall of Fame votes. I'm basically doing a show with someone in a memory loss unit. Christopher, Wendy Williams.

Tome.

What?

And he doesn't know why he's going to Vegas.

I know why I'm going to Vegas. I think it's for the eagles.

Wendy Williams was put in a memory loss unit. I can't believe I'm laughing about this. Wendy Williams was put in a memory loss unit for alcohol-induced dementia. What do you think 12 beers a day is going to do?

It's not 12 beers a day.

You don't remember what you did on your podcast. You don't remember your catchphrases.

I don't remember. I can't give you all 11 in a row.

We're not asking for that. We're asking for the last two.

I've done 50 to 39.

Every week, write down those two. Bring them in. They're written down at home. We told you that 12 times. You don't remember because you should be in a memory loss unit. We ask you every week. I don't think I've ever seen Chris this disillusioned with his father.

Well, his job is to remind me to bring in.

I'm thinking of a million things on this show. All I ask you to do is remember your catch for it. What are we asking for you to bring in here?

Remember your catchphrase so we can promote your podcast, which is the only thing that he wants.

Okay. Like the eagles would say, take it easy. Okay? Relax yourself. Okay? Will that be on the catchphrase? I invented the phrase relax yourself. No, I'm... All right.

You know what?

The catchphrases are-It's been long over here.

It had to be done. Get out of here. It had to be done. Get out of here. It's a long overdue. Five-minute major. Where's the show killer sound?

Yeah.

Hit him with the Shocular. We haven't done that in years. Not in years.

Oh, my God.

Blow the dust off that thing. All right, let's see. Showkiller is back, Jack.

My God.

I'm so proud of him. I could box him right now. I could box him for charity right now. Showkiller. What?

You need to bring that back, Jack. See what I mean by what the show's become?

People think my dad is saying Shocular. Shocular. Instead of Showkiller. That was amazing. Everything that just happened there was amazing. 90 minutes into the Usually, that's what Peter's out end of the day Wednesday. That's what happens toward the end. He's done it back in my day. We've gone to him, throwing him a couple of lobs, and he's tired. He doesn't have the stamina he used to.

Another crisis solved.

Get your mother on the phone so I can ask her. I'm efforting. He actually said the one cogen thing he said is that he's actually very good at admitting when he's wrong, which is absolutely In no way true. Zazlo.

That was chaotic. Baloney Baloney. I didn't forget about you either.

Now, Zazlo, so you killed David Baker. Oh, man. And the $50 because we're bringing back the Money Lion fine bucket. Money Lion has rushed to the rescue and is now sponsoring The Fine Bucket. It's been a while when Mike says, Bring back the show, the show that used to be. We used to have a fine bucket that people respected. That fine bucket used to have hundreds of dollars in it, and then somebody stole it at the Clevelander. Somebody here amongst us, I don't know if that person is still here. Insidejob? Oh, my God, it's just so bad. There were hundreds of dollars in a piggy bank filled with a fine bucket, and somebody from inside the company absolutely stole it one day. Just the cash was taken and nobody's found out who it was. But you seem dismayed by that.

Yeah, I mean, well, dismayed about which part? Me having to pay 50 bucks or dismayed that something got stolen?

You seem more dismayed by the fact that it was an inside job, that somebody around here stole hundreds of dollars of what was supposed to be fine money that end up... Somebody lost at the bucket, and then they went all excited to think they were going to get $500 because it was a fine bucket plus automatic death. Automatic death in the bucket was something that people craved because of the sheer amount of... The amount I was being fined because I'm the only one who pays the fines around here.

Everybody knows two things about me, all right? Number one, I don't like thief, and number two, I'll never be a cock. Everybody knows.

Wasn't there something earlier in the show that everyone knew that was different?

These are the two things everybody knows.

But what about the other thing that you said from before that everybody knows about you?

These are the two things everybody knows. Everybody knows that he can't go to the sphere because he has vertigo. There are two things everybody knows about me. Number one- Damn it.

That's exactly how you should say Virgido. Virgido. You should say it if you have it.

I did it on purpose.

Put it on the Paulette Levatard show. If you have vertigo, do you say it, vergeto?

Everybody knows I can't go to the sphere because I have vertigo and that I'll never be a cock. The show has ruined me.

Okay. I got to go back to this because of how amazing that was. Chocular. The magic that he has is, and Mike, I don't think, agrees with this, but I feel it all the time. The worse that he is, the better that he is. Rearther fate, Chris.

I'll see you. Oh, man. Oh, my God.

Dropping like flies.

That's what happened. That's what happened. That should be a find. What happened? That should be a find.

Is it contagious?

Minor penalty, two minutes.

Delay of show.

Tony's having a rough one, okay? I'm going to take myself out here prematurely because-Miner penalty, two minutes for explaining the show. Earlier in the show, I did something that I never do. I tossed Tony a lob and said, You had something for Zaz, right, Tony? He was supposed to do the whole show today in Spanish and just forgot.

No. Nice. Everybody's going to the box today.

Okay, cool. Penalty box. Top five gingers in Miami sports history, anybody? Do we want to try to figure it out? Because I know that- It's like family feud style?

Sports history?

Well, we could just do Miami history in general.

Mr. Red is out.

Because I was thinking in sports, you might not think of his name immediately, but for gingers, you need Eric Wagaman on that list. Oh, God. Marlin's one year first- If he's on the list, I'm on the list. The reason he needs to be on that list is last year after he hit a home run. He came into the dugout, and Derek Showman, the Then Marlin's assistant hitting coach, had, Atta boy, you, Ginger. Fuck. It was great. I'm bleeping it. Take it easy, man. Trying to think of other gingers in South Florida's sports history. I'm trying to think, too. I'm coming up pretty empty. Have we had any Panthers? Bernie. But I mean, what if they were terrible players down here? Could they be on the list? Of course. You're just looking for your top five. But, Keith Bell was Ginger. Is Heath Bell Ginger? I think so. Chris? Heath Bell? No, not a pure for sure. I mean, he might have had a red beard, but I don't look at him as a pure- Brian Campbell.

From a Florida Panthers, from a Blackhawk.

Trevor Kidd.

Yes. Dad, you have number 39? Trevor Kidd. Now we're rolling. Yes, I do. You have number 39 of the countdown?

I love him like a pet.

That's okay. That's better than the one you didn't want to mention?

Yes.

That's the good one.

See, the way countdowns go, they get better as they get to number one.

Okay, except you just said that number 40 was terrible, and you're doing a of 50. So why is that number 40?

Well, 40 was controversial. It wasn't terrible. It was terrible in some eyes, such as Christopher's eyes. But I thought it was good. Just listen to the pod. It's about three quarters away to the pod. The beginning of the pod is inside the P. F. B. I Super Bowl party, or rather the Super Bowl party. And then we get to McNugget Caviar and Pepsi Grand Theft, Polar Bear, and other stuff.

Incredible.

Thank you.

I love them like a pet is what my dad says. Thank you very much. But that's different than let a pet. No, I love them like a pet. My dad, whenever he's trying to show me and my brother love, talk about it to other people. I love this guy like a pet.

Yes, correct. Because I love my pets.

It's also weird because their household refers to farts as pets. Different pet.

Yeah. This is the literal pet. This is the literal pet.

No, they're not interchangeable. Love them like a pet refers to real pets.

So pet means pet, but pet also means fart. But that pet doesn't mean pet.

That's correct. You've got it exactly right. No, you have it correct. Get her lean on the phone. Also, Mike is right. You're going to redeem yourself, but Mike is right. There's been too much Greg in today's show, all right? We're going to need you to pick it up here over the next couple of hours. I wanted to get to- We're not picking it up.

You just said there's too much of me. Now you want more of me?

Dial it back. Jack.

Thank you.

Thank you.

He's back, Jack.

Minor penalty, two minutes, rambling.

I'm doing it prematurely to teach you. That's you, player. I was just out. I know, but just no more rambling. I wasn't rambling. No, you did over the first 2 hours.

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

That's shocking. Stugatz.

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

Right next to the condom?

Yeah.

That's a reminder.

Never forget. This is the Don Levatard show with the Stugatz.

Let me get to what it is that I wanted to get to here earlier that I have not gotten to because it has been really surprising to see, although I guess I'm only allowed to be so surprised as, but I do think growing up in Miami, I had grown a bit immune to the idea that people speaking different languages would be something that would upset people who really like to call everybody else Snowflakes And they would run over to Kid Rock's Sideshow in white shorts because they would be so offended and want something more all-American than Spanish. And so when I say I'm surprised, you guys all warned me this would be bad, and it's not like I haven't seen what's been going on in America over the last few years. But growing up in Miami, this is not really a thing here. It's not just for Spanish. Creole, When you grow up with diverse people and they become your friends and people you're always interacting with, you don't get so homogenized that you get scared of something like Spanish. I understand what's happening in America. Anytime I tell I want you to be inclusive, you feel excluded.

That's the way that transaction is working. Anytime I go to somebody and say, How about being inclusive if you're on the other side of this arguing with me? No, that excludes me. I feel threatened by it, but I don't feel threatened by that. I grew up among it. What I feel threatened by is truck testicles and American flags overrunning the Capitol or gun toting. That feels threatening to me, what's happening. Spanish in a halftime show, I'm like, Really? You guys with the guns are going to get upset about Spanish? Because the most pop culture thing there is happens to be in Spanish in America. But you want your sport to be so American that you don't want to even give them 13 minutes when everyone's taking a break on your thing. Ricky Martin doesn't even get those 15 seconds. No, I want it all to be American. Then you get Sid Rosenberg, who came up here locally, and I don't even know where to start with this, but really fragile loudmouth, really fragile. And so he's rewarded by this time in America. And so this is what's happening all over the place in reaction to this halftime show.

And I guess I ought not be surprised. Obviously, I ought not be surprised, but I really do think that I've been numb to it here in Miami. So listen, this is what's happening all over the place.

It was a bad football game.

And when you coupled that with Bad Bunny, who may have been the worst halftime show, not one word of English, not one word of English, one word.

You combine the halftime Show on the football game. I think Clay would agree, he's a great sports guy, too. What a waste of three hours.

Clay, yeah, Bad Bunny. I didn't get one word. I took German in high school. I watched it with my dad. He said he's 81. He said, Hey, this is the worst football game top to bottom ever. I think he was right on that one. Although, Turning Port put together a great show.

Bad Bunny did use some words in English. God bless America. He said English, United States, he said in English.

Selfies, say cheese.

So there were a few words. You guys are unsurprised by this, right? I'm the naive one to see the size of the reaction because Megan Kelly did this, too. And this is her lane now. And there are plenty of people who want the right to put this under the flag, wrap themselves in the flag, and tell people who are not this homogenized, Hey, get out of here with your different languages. I do think what we should do is when these games go to Madrid, we should make all the football players speak Spanish. Good idea? When it's in Madrid, everybody, it's going to be in Madrid for several years now. The NFL wants to be global, make all the football players do their interviews in not one word of Spanish. Nobody's going to say, see or no. It's as ridiculous, right? This is a pop culture icon at the middle of a spectacle that they had to have Colin Kaepernick go bring in Jay-Z so he can make it Blacker and Browner because they don't want Black and Brown around this stuff. They've made it clear the owners of this league, none of whom are Black or Brown, have made it clear that they have to be ordered by Rooney Rule and by Jay-Z to make this stuff slightly more diverse.

And so the objection you get sounds a lot like this from Megan Kelly.

I'm sorry, Piers, but to get up there and perform the whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to the rest of America. Who gives a damn that we have 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States? We have 310 million who don't speak a lick of Spanish. And whether it's Bad Bunny, who is American but refuses to speak English in his performances, or anybody else, we have to keep the Super Bowl, which is a quintessential American event. Football, that football, is ours. They call it American football. And the halftime show and everything around it needs to stay quintessentially American.

It was the hour she's talking about. It sounds like she wants to say white. Megan Kelly was given an entire hour of the Today show. She so desperately wanted to be accepted by mainstream America, and now she's working on more conviction over a reggaeton artist or a Latin superstar than she did around the legal age. I am so done working around the fragilities of mediocre white people when it comes to accommodating them and what they want. There are options. It's the Super Bowl. Sometimes you like the halftime show, sometimes you don't. Every single one of these conservative talking heads have made money, pointing at the other side in the 2010s saying, They don't want you to laugh anymore. They're Snowflakes. They're sensitive. Every day, there is some new thing that is insignificant that they are complaining about. It is exhausting.

I'm embarrassed by the way half of America has reacted to Bad Bunny singing in Spanish in a halftime show. It's ridiculous. Compounding that is that Puerto Rico happens to be a Commonwealth in the United States, and their citizens over there, their US citizens, It's part of our country. Why can't we embrace them? It's absurd. I don't understand the overreaction. And by the way, parenthetically, it's also an overreaction to say, Worst Super Bowl ever. Thirty-six of 60 Super Super Bowl's have been double-digit point spreads. Five have been 30 or more. I covered a Super Bowl that was 55 to 10. One year ago, Philadelphia was up 34 to nothing before the cheese woke up. Bad Super Bowl's are a thing. Half-time shows you don't like are a thing. But don't pin it on the fact that he's speaking Spanish. I enjoyed the music. I'm not a huge Bad Bunny fan, but I enjoyed the music, the pageantry of it, the fact that it was so Puerto Rican, I loved. With the sugar cane and the coconut vendor and all that stuff, I loved it. Loved every minute of it.

Also, it's the highest viewed halftime show of all time already, and it's going to continue to do those numbers. But also, when Megan Kelly not a lick of English. What do you want them to do? Translate songs that are in Spanish to English and then wrap them in English?

Yes.

Are you not proud of your game? Our game, American football. Well, Bad Bunny proved the theories right that he would bring more audience to your game. Now, you didn't exactly put on a show. The game was crap. But it is a largely American experience. The world stops and watches this very American thing. You should be happy that Bad Bunny is bringing new audience to further indoctrinate everybody in your American thing.

And the irony is these same people who are grifting off of this now by feeding into the fury, they never complain about America's pastime, having so many Spanish speakers within it. Major League Base Baseball is America's pastime. And yet there is not a league in America that has more Spanish-speaking individuals representing that game in an incredible way who are not from the United States or are from the United States. But one way or another, this grift is purely based off of, Oh, we have something we can seize on with people who are going to be angry in the moment. They don't give a shit.

Yeah. To that point, the World Cup is in the United States this summer. The most international of sports, the most For and speaking of all sports, because it's global. Why can't people get over the fact that the US is part of a world community here? I blame the NFL for a lot. I give the NFL credit for its last two Super Bowl.

Well, it was forced on them. The Jay Zee thing was forced on them by the Kaepernick stuff. Don't give them too much credit, okay? Because they made sure that the guy who was kneeling in front of the flag wasn't in the game in the first half or second half. Jay-z, you can have halftime. And it was forced on them.

Fair comment. I was referring to Kendrick Lamar last year. But in the case of Bad Bunny, he's an international artist. We're part of the international community. It's just absurd. I do give Goodell credit. There was an instant uproar were over Bad Bunny in halftime. He had an opportunity to make a switch, and he didn't bend. So I do give him credit for that.

He got to start on the planet. He's right. It seems as though the NFL is the only professional sports league that doesn't really care. About Donald Trump firing off true socials and complaining about stuff.

Now, they cared when Pence was at the games. Like, now. Look, half-time is what you get, minorities, and they don't want you to have that. Erlene is here now. Thank you, Erlene. I know you're very busy. You We don't have time for all of our foolishness. But your husband said something so egregious earlier. Oh, God. He said it with a straight face, and I said, This is what it's like to be married to him because he's stubborn, he entrenches himself on things, and he thinks he's right. But he just said, and I'd like to get the number of times in your marriage that he has confirmed, provided proof for what he just said is true about himself. He just said, I easily admit when I'm wrong. Not.

That's not true.

I beg to differ.

That's not true. He'll talk himself in 14 minutes of circles just to say that he was right.

Give me the number of times in your marriage that he has immediately said, My bad, I'm sorry, I was wrong.

About something substantive? Maybe 12% of the time. There you go. And like every day Every day crap, less.

You're the same way. I mean, we're both super stubborn. We are. That's a dynamic of the marriage that works, yin and yang.

Mom is Sam Darnold a true Ginger? I've only seen him with his clothes on. I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. I was more basing it off his arms, his beard. Yeah, I say, yeah. Why not? Why is he not? You're doing this where you let everyone in. Okay.

Erlene, who do you think is more Ginger, Christopher or his brother Michael?

I think they both are equal. They just have different kinds of... Some have more hair than the other one does, so it looks more red hair. But actually, Christopher, I'd say Christopher.

I'm going to go with Christopher. We're going to sell T-shirts here. Your husband said this earlier in the show. What are your thoughts on your husband saying this?

My wife always handles the wand.

Always handles the what?

My wife always handles the wand, the TV wand.

Jesus Christ. Well, that's because it's really a sad predicament we're in when I'm in charge of IT in the house because I'm lame and he's the worst.

Well, what happened on Super Bowl Sunday that he turned off the television or the kickoff was nearly missed because- He was giving a speech to the crowd about how it was all going to be and how the rules were and that we all had to be quiet during commercials, that we were saying it during a commercial.

He had the wand that controlled the thing in his hand, and he was like, waving it around in circles. Then he's like, I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. I said, What's that thing in your hand? I may have overreactive slightly.

Another crisis song. Yeah.

Thank you, Arlene. Good talking to you.

Go back to work. Earn money.

Yes, that's what I do. Mike, I have rule to live by, right?

Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero.

Always drink your Jägermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion.

Everything else?

Everything else.

Wearing clean underwear every day?

Well, that's just a personal decision.

Brushing your teeth?

Obviously smart, but not a rule.

Never PP on an electric fence.

Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jägermeister must's cold. Exactly. You're finally starting to get it.

Drink responsibly. Jägermeister L'Core, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Mass Jägermeister US, White Plains, New York.
