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?
Andrew Santino
Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Stugotz
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.
Andrew Santino
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Stugotz
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Andrew Santino
Cuervo.
Stugotz
So enjoy the tequila that started it all.
Roy Bellamy
Cuervo.
Stugotz
Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly Cuervo.
Mike Ryan
This is the Don Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.
Andrew Santino
Andrew, good seeing you. I am so glad you are not a Hollywood diva. I have seen you watching poor Amin Elhassan sweat in front of you because I feel so bad for Amin there. I mean please, like nobody saw what you were going through there where the show careened into you. Everything that got to you was not working right Cuz Roi Bellamy is wearing the outfit that can't allow him to do these things correctly. And so what we're left with is you naked in front of Andrew Santino performing a comedy bit that has gone south.
Jeremy Tache
Dan. It's not just that. In front of any comedian, it would have been bad. But I'm such a huge fan of Andrew Santino and the Bad Friends podcast. Like it was anyone else. It was Carlos Mencia. I'd be like, ah, I'll take that.
Andrew Santino
L. It's just brutal. But what we just did to you is cruel. And I'm guessing that he would say, yeah, comedians kind of have to suffer on. It's gonna be not funny in public and it's gonna hurt. So, Andrew, welcome. I'm sorry that you had to witness all that.
Roy Bellamy
That's okay. I love to watch people bomb. That's one of my favorite things to do is see other people just really tank it. The list was great. It just went on for about, I don't know, seven minutes too long, but it was good. Condense it next time. Just a little bit, but trim the fat.
Andrew Santino
Yes. At any point, I was yelling at my thick tongued producer to do that during that segment, but he was too busy telling me the hockey and basketball playoffs start and he doesn't have time for the show. You understand?
Roy Bellamy
Also the Panthers outfit. What is. Is this punishment? What is this? What is that?
Mike Ryan
You are exactly right. This is punishment. I have the. All the gear, every last run, these pads in the jersey and everything. I'm wearing it right now because of a punishment.
Chris Coty
Show them the skates.
Mike Ryan
I got skates as well.
Andrew Santino
And he's saying it's hard to do his job that way of executive producer because it is a physical punishment comedy. That's right. Comedy.
Roy Bellamy
Roy.
Mike Ryan
Yes, sir.
Roy Bellamy
Roy, given what's going on right now, both culturally and economically, and don't you think you have a case here to be made for employee abuse?
Mike Ryan
And I mean, I would if we had a HR here.
Andrew Santino
Why? Why you wanted. Wa.
Chris Coty
Wa.
Roy Bellamy
Let me. Let me represent you, please. I'll be your. I'll be your counsel.
Mike Ryan
I hope you're pro bono. Yeah, pro bono.
Roy Bellamy
Don't talk like that, man. This is a family show.
Andrew Santino
Okay, Andrew, thank you for joining us. You have rocketed. It's fun to see because you're doing it with your best friend and you're just laughing all day every day. And now you've got a new podcast and I'm pretty sure it's a scam. From what I can see. I think you're just want to golf a lot and so somebody's going to pay somebody's going to pay for it.
Roy Bellamy
I'm living the dream.
Andrew Santino
So somebody's.
Roy Bellamy
Yes, I'm living the dream.
Andrew Santino
All right, so what's. Explain it to me, please, because this is cheating here. So you are just, you're just going to feed your golfing addiction?
Roy Bellamy
Yeah. Well, look, I went on tour for two years with Bobby Lee, so I had to stare at Bobby Lee in his underwear for two years on a tour bus. So I think I'm owed a little bit from the universe for giving this love of comedy around the world. And so after two years of touring and I shot my special that's going to come out on Hulu in September with Peyton Manning's company, Omaha Productions, shout out to them. I wanted to take some time and I had pitched this golf show. I said, you know, I want to do this one whole walk and talk with celebrities, athletes, golfers, called no bad lies. And I give them deliberately bad lies. And all the while they tell me a time where life gave them a bad lie and how they recovered. And it was, it was praised by many people in the business. They thought, oh, that's a great idea. And I said, I'm going to do it. So the first two episodes are out right now with Cam Smith and Jon Rahm. I'll give you a couple of sneaky names that are going to be on the show. You know, Charlie Day, Michelle, we, Michael Phelps. We've got a host of people, not just, you know, golfers, but also athletes and celebrities and a few sneaky, you know, a few sneaky ones that are pretty impressive that I will say will come out later, later in the season. But, yes, it's a way for me to play golf. So what, Dan?
Andrew Santino
Oh, no. I actually think now hearing you talk about it, you've changed my mind, by the way that you talk about it, because I'm assuming that one of the things you're trying to do in the comedy space is show a vulnerable thing to people while also golfing. Like, for you as a comedian to be able to talk to athletes or whomever about, like, hey, can we talk about our feelings here for real? It seems like that's something that you would do because you're interested in making good content. You're not gonna just fart around out there and golf.
Roy Bellamy
No, no, we are. The depth of the show is that that I like this philosophical tie in of golf is like life, that it's going to give you a lot of bad lies. A lot of people go through a divorce, a loss, tragic things happen in Our lives or just small hiccups. They don't have to be traumatic, but just like in golf, you have to find a way to recover. And I just. I like this philosophy. I like this. You know, it's not that comedic sometimes, but I just. I like that world of how do you recover in life? We're all put in bad situations, and how do you get out of it? We've had some funny stories. We've had some heartfelt stories. I'm excited to. For people to see the rest of the season. It gets really good, and it's funny, you know, all the while I'm goofing and taking shots at myself. And it's also nice to see me take shots at, you know, professional golfers who have to be kind of tied up all the time.
Andrew Santino
Can you tell me why it is that you disappeared? I was very disappointed in you, and I am happy for you and your success. But I thought we had a deal for you to be like a Chiefs correspondent during the run. During. Because you're friends with Kelsey and you're friends with Mahomes, and you talk trash to your fan base by saying, I'm allowed to be friends with the Chiefs, but something got lost along the way, and then you disappeared. Was it the loss? Was it the loss?
Roy Bellamy
No. No, it wasn't the loss. No. I went. I just been on tour for so long. I'm trying to make money. I'm not like you. I don't have a big, fancy studio with 19 employees that you can yell at and lash out whenever things aren't going your way and whenever a bid isn't going right. I hear you in the headphones just ruining these people's egos. I mean, it's unbelievable. I mean, look what you did to WA. You think WA's gonna go home tonight and feel good about this? He's gonna sit in his kitchen and eat cold soup like he does at night, and this is going to hurt. This is going to hurt. Why nod your head if this is hurting? Yes. Hurts while he can't even nod his head because of this neck brace you've got him in both physically and metaphorically. If you need help getting out of there, can you close your fist? Can you close your fist like this? Put your thumb in your fist. Yeah. Do it with the glove. Thank you. Very good. You know what, Dan? You know what, Dan? I get it. He does take direction well. I do. I see what you're doing with him. This makes sense. Yeah. Fantastic.
Andrew Santino
You calling him wa. Are you a hockey Fan. Are you in any way a hockey fan? Like, what are your. Your sports allegiances? How do they work?
Roy Bellamy
You know, look, I like hockey. I would never claim to know. A lot. A lot about it is the reference to. I mean, I know Patrick Waugh.
Andrew Santino
Well, that's what we were doing. But that's why I was laughing so hard at you calling him Wa again every time. Because his name is.
Roy Bellamy
Well, I have to. Yeah, I play into the bit. You give me the bit, I'm going to play into it. No, I like. I do like hockey. I mean, look, I was. I'm supportive of the Blackhawks. The Canaan Taves era was great. I think Bedard is one of the greatest young players I've ever seen. I think he's been dealt kind of a little bit of a tough hand, to be honest with you. People have their opinions about his attitude, but I'm supportive of the Hawks, and I do like hockey. But, you know, basketball, baseball, and football are my. That's my. That's my trifecta. That's the upper echelon, by the way. Speaking of which, I went to the Cubs game to watch them smack around the Dodgers 16 to nothing. One of the greatest games I've ever seen live in my entire life. It was incredible. I mean, it was. I was. I was laughing. I was just cracking up. Every time we were. Every time we were adding another.
Andrew Santino
Laughing at your Hollywood friends, like, laughing. What is happening there? What is. Why are you laughing?
Roy Bellamy
I was just. I was. I was. It was just like at some point, I wasn't even cheering. I was just cracking up at how embarrassing this was, that the returning World Series champs are getting smacked around by a hodgepodge of guys that they thought, you know, couldn't put up a fight against them in the series here. It's early. I know it's early in the season, but still, it was wonderful to watch. Wonderful to watch live. Go, Cubs, go.
Jeremy Tache
Hey, Andrew, quick question for you. Our show tries to be a great yes and show we're not. You are excellent at. Yes. And what are some tips you can give our poor show to get better at it?
Roy Bellamy
Well, Jeremy. Tashay. Tashay.
Chris Coty
Yeah, that's right.
Roy Bellamy
Wow, that was impressive when you were in that two shot here with him. Right when you said we're not that good at being a yes and show he did this. What? That's like the number one rule you don't do. Jeremy, that's the opportunity for you to go See. There you go. That's opportunity for you to go yes, we are bad, and I'll tell you why. And then you go into why you guys are so bad, why you don't deserve your job. That's where it gets funny. That's.
Chris Coty
No, I'll never admit I'm wrong. No, absolutely not.
Roy Bellamy
You'll never admit you're wrong.
Chris Coty
No, I've learned at the teat of Mike Ryan.
Andrew Santino
Teach them, Andrew. Andrew, please teach them. Please.
Roy Bellamy
Let me interview Tashay real fast. Tashay, where are you from?
Chris Coty
I'm from down here in South Florida.
Roy Bellamy
Stutter. He stuttered right away. He got nervous. He thought about it. He was going to say what local area he's actually from. Then he did this, like, broad regional encompassing south Florida. He didn't want me take a shot at the neighborhood. Where is it? Which. What? Where are you from? From Tasha.
Chris Coty
I am from Weston, Florida, which is an upper middle class suburb of Fort Lauderdale.
Roy Bellamy
There we are. Wait a minute.
Andrew Santino
Wait. Are you a surgeon? Can you do that, please, to him with every question ask?
Roy Bellamy
Well, sure. So upper middle class from outside of Fort Lauderdale, and dad did what for a living?
Chris Coty
My father was a financial advisor. Thank you for asking.
Roy Bellamy
You look like a kid of a financial advisor.
Chris Coty
I know I do.
Roy Bellamy
Hold yourself the way you hold your shoulders. Looks like a kid whose dad, you know, was earning really good coin. Was mom stay at home? Teshe?
Chris Coty
Oh, of course.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, she stayed at home. This kid got. You know what's so funny about this guy? Wa. Turn around real fast. Look at this guy and stare at him. This whole segment, cache is the kind of guy whose mom had food ready when he got home with his friends after school. She cut the crust off all his sandwiches. Cachet never had dirt on his shoes. He always walked in the middle of the road. And when anybody was doing something up to no good, he'd go, guys, I don't think that's a good idea. That's.
Chris Coty
Oh, that's the most accurate thing you could have said the whole time. Does that.
Andrew Santino
He is.
Roy Bellamy
I can feel this guy. I can feel this guy from a. I can feel him through the computer. Tasha, I can't wait to meet you when I come down there. I love you. I'm just having fun.
Chris Coty
No, I love you too.
Andrew Santino
No, no, don't be soft. You don't love him.
Chris Coty
Thank you, Andrew.
Roy Bellamy
You just.
Chris Coty
You will, once you meet me, you'll really love me. That's what happened here. Everyone, once they got to know me, they really fell in love.
Andrew Santino
I don't know about that, Andrew, you saw through him and yeah, I.
Roy Bellamy
How about that, Dan? Where'd he go to college, Tashay?
Chris Coty
Surprise.
Dan LeBatard
Here.
Chris Coty
Went to a state school. University of Central Florida.
Roy Bellamy
A little bit more. I got to tell you, that grew on me just a little bit. That grew on me just a little bit. I got a little bit of love for you there. UCF is good. Good for you. Okay, we'll take that. And then can I guess out of three? I'm going to give three guesses and I'll be done. Three cars that I think you might drive. Let me get the camera on Tache one more time.
Andrew Santino
Hold on. Right now. Three cars. You think he might drive?
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, I want to get what I think he might drive in. Three guesses.
Andrew Santino
Do any of us know those so we can know the payoff? Do any of us know what he actually drives? Can someone write it down? Can someone give it to me? Like, what's the payoff here? Do any of us know what the car is?
Roy Bellamy
We know.
Jeremy Tache
We know. We're not going to say it out loud. I guess Andrew has a guess. But we know.
Roy Bellamy
Okay, I'm going to guess for fun. I'm going to say a Mini Cooper. Could you seem like that kind of guy? A little cutesy, pootsy, parking around a Mini Cooper.
Chris Coty
Oh, man, I love it.
Roy Bellamy
Easy to parallel.
Chris Coty
No, I don't drive it, but I love it.
Roy Bellamy
Hold on, hold on. Don't say three guesses. Just Mini Cooper is number one. Number two, I would say, is a. It's something humble, something in the realm of like a. A Honda Accord. Something reliable, humble, something in that regard, because that gets you to. And then I would say. I would say you're. Oh, so. Oh, well, then you know what you are, Tasha. You're in the Hyundai world. You're a Hyundai driver. You like Hyundai. And based on your look, I'm going to guess it's that town in down south Arizona. You're a Tucson. You're a.
Chris Coty
No way. Hyundai Tucson. You're right. Unbelievable even. It even has a Schitt's Creek sticker on the back of it.
Roy Bellamy
Oh, my God.
Chris Coty
You would have gotten there eventually, man. You would have gotten there eventually. You would have figured that out.
Andrew Santino
So you're saying, I love Tasha. I'll see you when you're down in Miami.
Roy Bellamy
I love Tashay. I'll see. I'll see you when you're down. When I'm down in Miami. I really do. I love bring while along for the ride as well.
Andrew Santino
All right, so while we'll have to go dress like this. Yes, yes.
Roy Bellamy
No. He.
Andrew Santino
He looked pretty good walking the room.
Chris Coty

Don Levatord it sounds to me like everybody could use a hug. Because a hug is always the right size. Stuart, all I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup of thought.
Billy Corben
The penalty box.
Dan LeBatard
Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.
Mike Ryan
This is the D Ler show with the St. GS.
Andrew Santino
Can you do this with anyone else in the room? Surely. I. I don't know how you surgically did that to just tache. I don't think you can do that to anyone else here. Could you?
Roy Bellamy
Well, what's that? What's the redheaded gentleman's name with the. With the Marlins hat?
Dan LeBatard
Chris. How's it going, man?
Andrew Santino
I think he could do this with everybody in the room. I do believe so.
Roy Bellamy
You're a hero. I do like Chris.
Dan LeBatard
A ginger. A ginger hero.
Roy Bellamy
Chris Coty. I like you a lot. I feel your vibe. What do we are you tall? I can't tell because you're sitting down. Are we anywhere between 5 11, 511. Oh, he's doing that thing, right? So he's 5 10. He's trying to sniff six feet. I know how that goes. He's trying to sniff six feet. These guys that are five. I thought they always claim that.
Andrew Santino
I thought no one was five'eleven Right. Everyone who.
Chris Coty
Everyone is five.
Andrew Santino
Everyone who's five and five eleven is six feet. Correct.
Roy Bellamy
Now everyone who's five eleven is actually five hundred and ten. And every guy that says they're six one is actually six feet. That's. That's what it is. That's. That's truly the way it breaks down.
Dan LeBatard
Damn it.
Roy Bellamy
And I got to tell you, Coty, I know you're 5 10, and. Can I just guess? Can I just guess for the sake of it? I'm not taking a shot of you two to six.
Mike Ryan
Wow, man.
Dan LeBatard
A little lighter, actually. I think a little lighter.
Andrew Santino
Good for you.
Dan LeBatard
But not by much.
Roy Bellamy
216.
Dan LeBatard
Oh, that's what you meant.
Andrew Santino
No, no. 216. No, not 216. He said. You said 2 6, right? Did your audio break down? 26 is what you said.
Roy Bellamy
I said 226. How much do you weigh?
Dan LeBatard
Oh, my bad.
Roy Bellamy
You.
Dan LeBatard
You're really close. I thought you said 260.
Andrew Santino
We all thought you said 260.
Dan LeBatard
I'm like, no, I'm sorry.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, 200.
Dan LeBatard
I'm like, 232.
Roy Bellamy
235. 236. You mean this guy sees right through me.
Andrew Santino
You keep falling into his traps.
Roy Bellamy
He.
Andrew Santino
He gets you into his web, which is a question. Like, he cares about you and he toys with you because he doesn't care about you.
Roy Bellamy
I care about you very much. I care about you very much. And you're. I will say something about this guy. He's married. And what I can feel about this guy is he's married to a woman who is. And a cliche, but so far out of his league, it's hilarious. I bet you when you guys meet her, everybody goes, that's Coty's wife. Oh, my God. That's what they all say behind his back when they have that second.
Dan LeBatard
No, they just say it to me. Like, if they don't really. My back. Yeah, all the tweets. Anytime. Anytime my wife is shown on social media.
Andrew Santino
You also get the added bonus of, oh, look, she chairs. She cares for a giant toddler.
Dan LeBatard
That's right.
Roy Bellamy
She takes care of you. All right, so I'm going to guess in three guesses what Coty drives, you know. Okay, so my first. My first genuine guess is. Is a truck. My first guess is a truck because he looks like he might want to get in and out of a truck. You know, full size guy might want to get in and out of a truck, but it's not a truck. That's okay. That's fine. It's got to be something. It's got to be something standard. Then we're going to go back to just a sedan, maybe a regular sedan or a coupe or a little coupe. Nice coupe. Are you a Japanese car guy? You know what? He's got to be like a. Either a Lexus or an Acura.
Dan LeBatard
No.
Mike Ryan
That's unbelievable, man.
Jeremy Tache
With someone's mic on.
Chris Coty
This is ridiculous.
Andrew Santino
He can't do this.
Chris Coty
That's crazy.
Dan LeBatard
I drive an Acura.
Chris Coty
That's crazy.
Dan LeBatard
How are you ridiculous?
Andrew Santino
You can go on the road. You can go on the road. He can go on the road as a magic act. He can be a traveling salesman for golf and like a carnival act. Could you do it to a mean. Like here's one of the things. Look, look. This dude is doing a lot of groundbreaking comedy and he's worked with some really, really talented people. But the project he does with Bobby Lee, like about real friendship, they crash cultural stuff because they really love each other the way no one else can. No one else in the sphere does because he learned about working with Larry David and learned working with Lil Dicky. And so this thing that he does with Bobby Lee is wildly funny. And what are you guys laughing at?
Dan LeBatard
Is Bobby's dad here? No, I love when he does Bobby's dad.
Stugotz
Bobby's dad's funny.
Jeremy Tache
We're fans of the show.
Roy Bellamy
Oh, thank you very much. Well, it's so Bobby's. Well, Bobby's mom is my best impression, but Bobby's dad. Bobby's dad was a special, special man who would hit him with golf clubs. So that the irony of me doing a golf show is that Bobby's father would smack him around with golf clubs. That's his memory of golf. So. So I'm excited to get Bobby on the show, teach him how to golf, but I'm afraid he's going to have, you know, these traumatic flashbacks in that PTSD from getting smashed with a nine iron over the head in the morning.
Andrew Santino
It's actually ethically wrong what you're doing, that Bobby Lee would have that as his lifestyle and it would turn you. Making fun of his father would turn into you Roaming the earth with celebrities, golfing with them.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, yeah. Well, you know what? I put up with him for a long time. You live on a tour bus with Bobby Lee for a good year, and then you tell me you're not owed a ticket into heaven, a slot, a seat in there, because after all I put up with for that entire time. But he's. Look, he's my best friend. I love him. And what we've created together has been incredible, and I'm so happy about it. We also have an animated show that we're doing together that we're creating based on our show. So we're making some moves outside of that show, and we just kind of want to keep growing the brand and having a good time. That's, you know, at this point in my life, in my career, I just want to have fun. I just. We've worked hard. I just want to keep having fun now. I want to do what you guys are doing. I want to have a good time with my friends every day.
Jeremy Tache
Oh, that's.
Roy Bellamy
And why. Yeah.
Jeremy Tache
And what, Andrew, does Benny Blanco really take a boat to Europe or is he just messing around?
Roy Bellamy
No, he did for a long time. He was afraid. He was afraid to fly for a very long time. Now I think now he does finally fly. But I'm sure, you know, I'm sure Selena's got him on some private jet, so I'm sure he's. I'm sure he's on her jet or whatever spaceship that everyone's using now, Right. Are people getting into spaceships now? That's the new thing. All these celebrities. I saw this. Are getting into spaceships. Can't wait. Leave them up there. Next time they go up, just leave them up there. Well, what. The thing. Let it float.
Andrew Santino
What's going on? Did anyone make you mad? Did Katy Perry. Jessica was unreasonably, unreasonably mad at Katy Perry. Going up. You're just mad that they're wasting money.
Roy Bellamy
No, I just think it's extremely out of touch. I think it's like, I saw, like, Emily Ratajkowski had a post online that was like, you just don't like it that women and women of color are occupying these spaces where they're not usually seen. It's like, no, dude, the economy is upside down. People can't pay rent. Nobody gives a shit about celebrities. Sorry. Going to space. And it just doesn't make sense. It's. This is such an out of touch moment in time when people are scared of what's happening economically. And then you're sending up famous people in hair and makeup to float around for a while. It just feels like, like, where are you? Do you have any, do you have any reasonable outlook on what's actually happening? But who cares? Leave them up there. If anybody wants to go to space, leave them up there. This is crazy enough. Down here is whenever somebody says you don't like fantasy movies or fantasy TV shows. No, the earth is nuts enough. You ever been to Detroit? It's crazy. You know what I mean? Go to Toledo. It's nuts. That's, that's, it's crazy enough.
Andrew Santino
Did you just apologize for cursing because you're rage filled about what's happening in society today? How dare you.
Roy Bellamy
I'm trying to stay clean. I'm sorry. I'm trying to be clean.
Andrew Santino
No, but, no, but how, how can you not be mad? I can, I can laugh with you, but I can also point out, hey, out of touch guy. You're talking about celebrity feelings while golfing with them. Go help the homeless.
Roy Bellamy
Hey, wait a minute. I do a lot for charity. I do a ton for charity. And I will tell you this, this fall I'm going to be headlining a, a special Olympics for charity softball event where we're using 16 inch no glove Chicago style softballs. And you pay a little bit of money and you get to hit home runs off of your favorite comedians and celebrities. You get to come hit a couple of jacks out of the park on us, including and not limited to dunk tanks and all sorts of fun stuff. And you can embarrass your favorite comic celebrity, whatever. So I'm always trying to do the right thing for community and others. I'm trying to uplift. I do my part. I'm not just sitting in space, Dan. I came on this show. This is a favor. You know what I mean? I'm doing this just for you, just to make you look good.
Andrew Santino
Just for me. It's not. Oh, I thought we were celebrating bad lies together.
Roy Bellamy
You know, Andrew, speaking of, speaking of charity, have you ever needed tickets to a really important show and you needed your friends to help you out in getting them interesting? I've helped a lot of other people get tickets. I mean, I often will get a text message going, hey, hate to bug you, but Sebastian Maniscalco is gonna be in town and I'd really love to see him. And then I gotta text Sebastian and go, I'm sorry to do this. Is this okay? I've helped other people get tickets very, very often. I don't know the last Time I've had someone else get me tickets. But what's the, what's the nature of the beast of this. Well, next week, week from tonight and a this Saturday, Pearl Jam is here in Hollywood. Hard Rock Live. Very tough ticket. Some would say even more difficult than Taylor Swift. Andrew. I don't know if some would say that. I think that's, that's not even an argument. I think Taylor Swift is probably the most valued ticket in the world in the box office. Would show that. Not going to say that I don't love a good Better man jam by Pearl Jam, but I will say, yeah. So good. Are you looking to go to the show? Do you want me to reach out to someone for you? Okay.
Andrew Santino
No, wait a minute. How did this happen?
Stugotz
That blows up our plan.
Roy Bellamy
Now we're cooking.
Andrew Santino
That's not an easy ticket though. It's a 4,000 seat venue, so it's a small venue. And you think you can just, you think you live in such space, rarefied air, out of touch with humanity, bourgeois that you can, you can pick up a. You could text someone and say, hey, tell Eddie I need tickets.
Roy Bellamy
Not me personally. I'll have one of. One of my assistants do it. Marco, Sheila, Gina or Steve will do it. They're all here right now and one of them will text Eddie personally for me. I don't need to do any of that kind of stuff.
Andrew Santino
So what is the best. So what is the best move? If you were trying to impress somebody right now because you're hanging out with Mahomes and Kelsey because life needs to be about fun and golfing, if you had to impress somebody right now with clout, how do you do it?
Roy Bellamy
Oh, my God. I don't need to impress anybody. I'm already married. It's over for me. So, I mean, I don't know. Who do I need to impress? My friends, I mean, I barely have them anymore. I'm trying to think of who I would need to impress. My father is the only guy we're always looking for approval from. And when I sung the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley last season was the moment for my dad. I will tell you, I will give you a little brag. A little tiny, beautiful brag. I went to the Masters for the first time in my life. It was amazing. And I was, I was offered a chance to perhaps play Augusta, which was unbelievable. So without getting into too much detail because as you know, it's quite private and interesting, but I was given the opportunity to hopefully play as an invite.
Andrew Santino
So stugots around here has gotten on the course. It is celebrity elite. Stugatz is a famously bad liar around here. In honor of your podcast, no Bad Lies, we'd like to play a game with you. Would you be willing to entertain four lies from Stugatz? I believe him to be the greatest liar in sports media. Can we? Who guy? Who would you guys nominate to Santino. Nationally, in the time that we've been doing this 20 years, who is seen as the greatest liar in sports media? Stugats has to be on the Mount Rushmore. Correct.
Mike Ryan
If there's only one person on that Mount Rushmore, then, yes, it's just him.
Andrew Santino
So there's no second person famously known as a liar in the sports media?
Jeremy Tache
Does LeBron count? Because he does podcasts.
Andrew Santino
Okay, LeBron counts. Are you willing to play this game with us?
Roy Bellamy
I am. I wonder every time I see that LeBron clip, I wonder if he ever read any of those books that they had him on camp.
Jeremy Tache
He read the first page reading.
Roy Bellamy
I was like, man, he's got to write up a book report. He read the first couple of pages. Yeah, that's right. I'm ready to play. Give me the lie. Let me see.
Andrew Santino
All right, so this is Stugach. You tell us whether this is a good lie or a bad lie.
Billy Corben
So today, it was all over the place. I was in a service lane. I was in the 8:36 line all the way to the end. That cut people off to get back onto 95. And I saved myself, like, 10 minutes. But a cop saw me, and he pulled me over, and he asked me, hey, how long ago did you know you needed to be in the lane you're in now because you just cut everyone off? You could have caused an accident. And I said, I gotta be honest. I don't come down this way often. I live up in Parkland. I have a big meeting down in Miami. I said, this is the first time I've been down here in six months, and I probably won't come back down here for another six months. I had no idea. I told him, so these roads aren't familiar to me.
Roy Bellamy
He'd said none of that to the cop. The cop pulled him over and was like, what are you doing? And he was like, I'm so sorry, Officer. I'm so sorry. Handed over his information, sat there quietly. Did not have any of that banter with the cop. No chance. Not even a little bit. We really. We know the truth. The cop was like, what did you think? What were you doing? It's like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm running late to this thing. He was really sweet and polite. He turned on his, like, you know how you talk to your grandma voice. He was not combative like that to the officer. I don't believe that for a heartbeat. No chance lie.
Andrew Santino
Okay, Bad lie. The details. He couldn't fool you with any. The drowning of the details. He thinks he's fast with six months here. And that did that. No, watch this.
Roy Bellamy
I'll do it right now. So yesterday when I was coming home from the airport, I actually got pulled over on the way home because I got in late last night from Vegas. My flight was delayed, and I was rushing home because my wife had. Has been sick for a couple of days straight. And I was coming home, and I was flying down the side, and I clipped. I clipped like a car in my neighborhood. I clipped like part of the mirror. I went and I rang the doorbell of the person who was, you know, in that house. They said, that's not my car. And so then I wrote this long note about apologizing. I was rushing home and my wife is sick. And I wrote this really, like, detailed note about the whole thing and left them my phone number. And I got a text this morning. I'll show you guys. I got a text this morning saying, don't worry about it. Big fan. Because I had signed my name at the bottom. What do you think about that?
Jeremy Tache
Okay, so it's dugouts. LeBron and Andrew Santino.
Roy Bellamy
Total lie. None of that stuff happened. None of that stuff happened. That's easy to do. You just ramble and ramble and let your mind wander in these little, you know, spots until you find it. That's not true. Stugatz. That. That. That was a lie. Lie, lie, lie.
Andrew Santino
Let's check the next one. Good lie or bad lie?
Billy Corben
Certain days I whistle better than other days. Like, if you catch me on the right day, I'll be able to whistle. Whistle. I just can't whistle today.
Roy Bellamy
I believe that. I'd love to hear him whistle in general, but I do believe that he can't. He's having a tough whistle day, so I guess he's having a tough whistle day. I don't know how privileged you have to be to. For whistling to be the hiccup of the day where that's the only issue you have. Most people are going to their second job in the afternoon just to pay rent. This guy's having a tough whistle day.
Andrew Santino
You just described and complained about it.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Hurt his lips from the cigarette.
Stugotz
He's not even here.
Roy Bellamy
Whistle day.
Andrew Santino
He not only here. Not only is he not here. Amin had to do the weekend observations with you a month ago. Because he's not here.
Jeremy Tache
Poorly.
Andrew Santino
Let's get.
Roy Bellamy
You did good. You did good.
Andrew Santino
Let's get to another. Good lie or bad lie?
Billy Corben
Cabin tension. Cabin attention. Do we have sound for this? Thank you. Listen.
Andrew Santino
Well done, Mike. That was very fast.
Billy Corben
They have asked for volunteers to get off this plane because they have overbooked this plane and no one volunteered. So they went to the computers and I was one of the people selected to get off this plane. Unfortunately, I have bad news for everyone on this plane. My grandmother is on her last breath. She is on her deathbed and I need to be there tomorrow. She means so much to me. She, along with my mom, because it was an unfortunate situation in my family where I. Where my dad left us at a very early age. So she helped raise me. And I need to have one final conversation with her. So if anyone, out of the kindness of their hearts, would volunteer to take whatever vouchers United is offering and just wait one more night. You'll be here one more night. And then you get on tomorrow's plane. It would mean the world to me. And by the way, I'll throw in some extras as well.
Andrew Santino
Nice.
Billy Corben
You know, I'll throw in a hat, maybe a hundred dollars, and maybe a Dan Levittard show T shirt.
Andrew Santino
A ha.
Billy Corben
Yeah. Yeah.
Roy Bellamy
I mean, judging by what I think I know about this gentleman, his grandmother died 20 years ago. I mean, this is not even like a. Even like a remotely believable lie. How old is this man? How old is he now?
Andrew Santino
He's 50 something.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, 50. My grandmother still alive? His grandma died in 96. Multiple times, talking about. Yeah, look, all of our grandmothers have been dead multiple times. But you can't use it when you're in your 50s. That's way gone. You could have said, if he really wanted it believable, he should have said, my mom isn't doing well. My mother. You can't do grandmother when you're in your 50s. I believe that. Not at all, Stugotz. That's bad. And also his name was selected. I don't believe that for a heartbeat that it just so happens that his name was selected out of all these people. Where does he sit when he sits? Dan, Is this a first class guy? Is he only in first class?
Mike Ryan
Yes.
Andrew Santino
He's only in first class. Yes.
Roy Bellamy
Again, another live privilege. No. 1. They're not taking off the first class guy. They go for. They go for the easy shot. They go for the guy in 38C who's cramped between, you know, someone eating an egg salad sandwich and a child that his diaper hasn't been changed in three days. That they go for that poor bastard. The guy that like would, would need to get to where he's going because he's got something important. Not for old, old first class dugouts. I believe it. Not at all. Another bad lie.
Andrew Santino
You seem to have some self awareness. I'll let you go on this note. No bad lies. I'm. This man doesn't make bad things. So I'm eage what he produces with his friends because that's the way to produce things. I admire your work for a lot of different reasons. But the thing that you're doing now where you're holding back a little bit on your rage at the class injustice in this country while trying to make comedy in it and worried that the world burns because a lot of people don't have money, money and the billionaires are taking all the money. How do you navigate this particular labyrinth of, yeah, golf, money, business, fun, friends with celebrities and the world's burning and Hollywood's burning and it's kind of infuriating.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, it is. Oh, look, I mean my approach to this whole thing was very obvious that I am a golf nut. I always have been. And part of this push is, you know, I didn't grow up up country club lifestyle. I had to learn golf on public courses like everybody else did. And then when I slowly got into the Hollywood world, I was able to play more exclusive courses that I never got a chance to when I was young. So I'm trying to bridge this gap between people that played golf their whole life and kind of were a little bit, you know, more privileged to it and the average golfer. I'm genuinely an average golfer. And so to me, I think I'm trying to bring these worlds together and show this lightheartedness and this other side of those that like golf and bridge this gap between people think it's just for the ultra rich or wealthy, which is not true. I mean golf is more popular than ever for anybody. It's a, it's not a, it's not a overwhelmingly expensive sport to play. You can play for quite cheap nowadays. You can get a cheap set of clubs and you can go play a knock around public course. I would say more accessible than it's ever been. And I do think more people got into it because of the pandemic and it created another sense of community and a way to get away with your friends, have a cocktail outside and goof off for a couple of hours. Because as we get older, we lose all of. All of our friendships. And it's nice to hold on to something. And this is the way I like to do it. So that's my push. That's my $0.02 ball market. Check it, clean it, put it back, sink it.
Andrew Santino
But you're seething underneath it all, underneath it all secretly.
Roy Bellamy
Well, I'll say. I'm upset with the way that the world feels right now. I think everyone is. I think everything feels a little heavy. I said that to a friend last night. Everything feels a little upside down. I'm hoping that we turn this. This thing around. Meaning not we, but the government stops hemorrhaging and people can. It can settle a little bit. So we feel like everything isn't going to collapse. But Hollywood is collapsing in front of my face. You know, that's why I'm making my own stuff so much. That's why Bad Friends was created. That's why no Bad Lies was created. Because I was like, I want to make my own stuff. I don't want to wait for the gatekeepers who don't really want us anymore anyway to tell me what I can and can't do. I'd rather make stuff my own way with my team, my production, my people. And that way, you know, we get to put out to the world something that we enjoy, that we love to make people feel good in crappy times. You know what I mean? During. When people are kind of unsure of the future, you know?
Andrew Santino
Cool thing. Sir, thank you for your work. Appreciate you coming on with us. One more lie for you on the way out the door. Good lie or bad? Bad lie.
Billy Corben
Dan, listen, coming from someone who was the BMOC big man on campus and I was.
Andrew Santino
That's so douche.
Billy Corben
Bmoc. I mean, I was. I was big time on my university. Lacrosse was the only physical sport we had. I was an all American bmoc. Listen, I'd pay a lot of money to have it back.
Andrew Santino
Douche. That acronym.
Roy Bellamy
What college did you go to again?
Billy Corben
Clark University.
Roy Bellamy
If I called their athletic department right now and said, can you tell us how to contact one of your more successful graduates? John Wiener? Yeah, they would. They would have. Oh, yes.
Billy Corben
Well, well, you mean the guy's jersey that's hanging around up there?
Andrew Santino
B Mock 92.
Roy Bellamy
Of course.
Billy Corben
Just refer to me as BMock from now on.
Roy Bellamy
Unbelievable. Clark University. That's Going to be my. My retort to that. Lark University. I mean, how many. How many students go to Clark? I'm looking it up. 3,000. 3,000, I think is what it says here. Unless I'm 4,000 now. Approximately, Clark, 4,000. That was my high school. Easy to be the big man on campus. Went into your college at the size of my high school, he was probably the only guy that was loud and annoying enough for everybody to know who he was. That's all that is. That's like me thinking I was funny when I was young. I was just stupid and annoying. Teachers were like, he's not funny. We're scared that he's slow. We're scared he's not going to have a future. So everyone laughs at him. They're not laughing with him. They're nervous. They're nervous he's not gonna make it in the real world. I'm just lucky.
Andrew Santino
Congratulations. It worked out. It seems to have worked out for you, sir. Thank you for stopping and thank you, guys. When does the podcast like. It's available now. Wherever it is you get your podcast, it's available now.
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, it's available now. And it's on my YouTube. So if you go to my YouTube, it's on there as well, and it's all over the place. And the first two episodes are up. And it's every Wednesday for the next. Who knows, the next 20 or 30 weeks, something like that. So please check it out.
Andrew Santino
Would you be kind enough on the way out the door to produce a bit for us here real quick? I've got a sponsored bit. It's called Victory lap, and we have sponsored content here. And I've been telling them for months now. Come up for a good way to produce this. Visually, all you have to do is run as hard as you can while giving your take.
Chris Coty
Okay, I have my take if you want it.
Andrew Santino
Okay, so Jeremy right now is in another room. If you want to coach him up here in some way, we can do the victory lap through him and with him. Go ahead, Roy. Andrew Santino. This is executive produced by Andrew Santino. Jeremy Tache doing the victory lap for the sponsor.
Mike Ryan
This victory lap is brought to you by Peloton. Find your push, find your power. With peloton@1peloton.com.
Chris Coty
Yeah, that's victory lap.
Andrew Santino
No, no, hold on a second. You want to get some coaching on the front end, Santino, or you just want to watch him and critique?
Roy Bellamy
No, I. I like it. I. I bet he's regretting not wearing a bra. Today, but I think you're doing a good job. Let's go high knees. Let's get those knees a little bit higher.
Chris Coty
Okay, you got it.
Roy Bellamy
A little bit higher.
Chris Coty
What about now?
Roy Bellamy
Let's see him in the frame. I can't see the knees. Let me see the skinny jean jump a little bit. Can you jump?
Chris Coty
You want like this? Is this good?
Roy Bellamy
Yeah, I do. Yeah. That looks really good. You're looking good, man. High knees. Just a couple high knees. Let's. Hit me with the peloton. Go ahead. Hit me with the read. Let's.
Chris Coty
Okay, so we already got the read, but the reason we're doing this victory lap is because I was right about everything I said about the heat going into yesterday. I told you guys that if they could shoot over 40% from three, which they had done 12 times with this group.
Roy Bellamy
Stop for one second. Stop for one second. Okay, buddy, buddy, buddy. We gotta get you on cardio. You gotta get it. That's insane. You did, like, a fake run for one solid 1.3 minutes. You don't know how long, and you're out of breath.
Chris Coty
I was. Yeah.
Roy Bellamy
Do you ever hit the stairs, or is it elevator only? Is it only elevator for you?
Chris Coty
They have a really nice key fob at this hotel that we work at, so it takes us. Right.
Roy Bellamy
There's no chance you hit the stairs? Yeah. No, I want to see you start hitting the stairs. My guy. You got it, Dashe, Hit the stairs.
Chris Coty
Yeah. You got it.
Roy Bellamy
I love you, Matt.
Chris Coty
Stairs.
Roy Bellamy
I love. I care about you.
Chris Coty
I love you, too. My car.
Roy Bellamy
Put your. Dude, let me see. Put your. Put your hand to your neck real fast.
Chris Coty
Yes.
Roy Bellamy
What are we talking? 250? 220, I would say.
Chris Coty
What is Chris way. What is Chris way again? Whatever that is.
Dan LeBatard
Guys, relax.
Roy Bellamy
Guys.
Andrew Santino
Santino, I need you to produce the segment, not just rip him for being out of shape. I need him to finish.
Roy Bellamy
I'm so sorry.
Andrew Santino
I need him to finish the take. Can you coach him up and take us home?
Roy Bellamy
Take us home with this segment. Tasha, I think you've got this. Let's jog a little bit slower so you're not running out of breath while you give your last take. Okay. And go. Okay, so that's way too slow, buddy.
Andrew Santino
That's way too slow.
Roy Bellamy
Just. There it is. A little light jog.
Chris Coty
Nice.
Roy Bellamy
What girls do when they go to the gym, that's it. When they actually don't work out, that's what you're doing. There it is. All right.
Chris Coty
We're looking great. That being said, I told you guys, the defense for the Miami Heat would be a key in advancing in the postseason. And what did they do? They held the Chicago Bulls to their lowest score of the season. And the three point shooting was over 40%. Just as I told you it would be. Just as I predicted. Just as it will continue to be as they beat the Hawks and go on to upset the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Roy Bellamy
Whoa. Yeah.
Andrew Santino
Whoa.
Roy Bellamy
Very good segment, dude.
Chris Coty
Thanks.
Roy Bellamy
And I believe everything that you said.
Chris Coty
Thank you.
Andrew Santino
Well, no, you don't. You want to bet on it? You think the Cavs are going to win? See you later, Santino. Good to see you.
Roy Bellamy
Bye, boys. I'll see you. Thank you, guys.
Chris Coty
Love you.
Andrew Santino
It's insincere. It's insincere.
