Today's topic. He's round with soft pillowy bread.

[Billy Gil]

Hey.

[Dan LeBatard]

Filled with delicious PB and J.

[Mike Ryan]

Are you talking about yourself?

[Dan LeBatard]

And you can take them anywhere.

[Mike Ryan]

Why'd you invite and we are out of time. Are you really cutting me off?

[Billy Gil]

Uncrustables are the best part of the sandwich. Sorry, crust.

[Mike Ryan]

Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings.

[Greg Cody]

Why are you listening to this show?

[Mike Ryan]

The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

[Greg Cody]

In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.

[Billy Gil]

I've done it.

[Mike Ryan]

And now here's the marching man to.

[Greg Cody]

Nowhere Fat Face and the Habitual Liar.

[Dan LeBatard]

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Mike Ryan]

Start of the day. Start of the day it is the.

[Billy Gil]

Start of the day. Start of the day.

[Mike Ryan]

Start of the day it is the.

[Billy Gil]

Start of the day.

[Mike Ryan]

Star of the day, Start of the.

[Billy Gil]

Day it is the start of the day.

[Mike Ryan]

Star of the day, Star of the day it is the start of the day.

[Dan LeBatard]

We have two stats of the day. And they are presented both by Miller Light.

[Billy Gil]

Wow.

[Jeremy Tache]

In the National League, the leaders since June 13th in record hits and team batting average was.

[Mike Ryan]

Jeremy.

[Jeremy Tache]

The Milwaukee brewers and your Miami Marlins, they square off this weekend in Miami.

[Mike Ryan]

Hey.

[Jeremy Tache]

Or in Milwaukee.

[Billy Gil]

Hey. Was that a big trade that happened in the. In. In the mlb?

[Jeremy Tache]

Josh Naylor.

[Billy Gil]

Josh Naylor.

[Jeremy Tache]

It's certainly helpful for the Mariners.

[Billy Gil]

They.

[Jeremy Tache]

They needed a bat. The. The rumors that they could still go after Yohanio Suarez, who's also from the Diamondbacks, in a separate trade. But it's a. It's a big enough deal because it gets the ball rolling toward the deadline. So now you could see some trades happen over the weekend.

[Dan LeBatard]

Josh Naylor, soda's drinker's body.

[Billy Gil]

Naylor. Barely know her.

[Chris Cote]

He's trimmed down.

[Dan LeBatard]

Has he? Yeah, I associate him as well.

[Jeremy Tache]

That's actually why first baseman Hulk Hogan. You know Hulk Hogan?

[Greg Cody]

I always thought AJ Burnett had a soda drinker's body.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's a good one for a skinny guy. You know what I'm noticing with the, like, we did it with Travis Barker tattoos. Tattoos convey soda.

[Billy Gil]

Well, they also help you look a little bit more fit, too, because Travis Parker, I think most people would think that he's a little bit more fit because of the tattoo. AJ Burnett just looks like I'm seeing him at the gas station. Grab a nicotine pouch.

[Chris Cote]

He has pierced nipples for sure.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah.

[Chris Cote]

Every time I thought he's mentioned, I have to bring up his Pierce nipples. I wanted to get a sleeve.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, I thought you were just projecting that on him.

[Chris Cote]

No, no, he definitely does, because I. I was buying. No, I know he does. When they won the wild card in 2003, they had, like, the same celebration with the fans in, like, this tent outside the stadium. And he was injured. He wasn't even playing, but he was so drunk. I remember he had his shirt off. He was spinning around his head. And I remember as a kid, I was like, they pierced those.

[Greg Cody]

He called me ugly once. I don't really get it.

[Chris Cote]

He called you ugly?

[Mike Ryan]

Why would he do that to your face?

[Greg Cody]

Maybe I was ugly back then, but.

[Mike Ryan]

Like, why would he just saw you, like, yo, that dude's ugly.

[Greg Cody]

I don't remember the exact reference. I just remember it forever.

[Mike Ryan]

Hold on a second.

[Chris Cote]

How do you remember when you were two, sitting in front of a mirror, but you don't remember why AJ Burnett called you ugly?

[Greg Cody]

I mean, those are little details. I forget a lot of things.

[Chris Cote]

Were you having an ugly day?

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I don't know.

[Chris Cote]

He just Walked up like ugly.

[Mike Ryan]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I was a beat writer that was probably gotten really comfortable with me being around. And he probably said something about the ugly kid. I don't know.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a rough thing to say.

[Chris Cote]

I feel like there's more to this.

[Greg Cody]

Well, okay, then I will describe why I think AJ Burnett had a soda drinker's body. Because to me, you have a soda drinker body if you're, like, skinny. You guys said skinny fat. I don't think it's necessarily skinny fat. I think it's a combination of tiny pouch belly, like, and then no acetol.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, Roy said Hogan randomly, like.

[Dan LeBatard]

Let's get to the second stat that we have, which is, of course, presented by Miller Light.

[Billy Gil]

Hulk Hogan yesterday died 10 years to the day of him making that racist rant. To the day. Yeah. WWE announced the very same day that they were cutting ties with him because he got pretty whitewashed from history. And then it took, like, several years for him to get back.

[Jeremy Tache]

He was always whitewashed.

[Billy Gil]

Hey, I've got one more Hulk Hogan top five. Oh, this one was a lot easier to come up with than the. Than the matches because he was not good in ring. This is the. The top five Hulk Hogan rivals.

[Mike Ryan]

Isn't it amazing where you could say the greatest and most important wrestler of all time not good in the wrestling ring?

[Billy Gil]

No, not good at all. Not good at all. Oli. This rivalry was exactly what Hulk Hogan needed for his career because Hulkamania was about to cease running wild. But then you had the Gulf War happen, and Vince McMahon had the inspired idea to have Sergeant Slaughter become a turncoat and become pro Iraq. Sergeant Slaughter gets the belt from Ultimate Warrior, who won it from Hulk Hogan.

[Mike Ryan]

How was there for that?

[Billy Gil]

It was at the Miami arena at the Royal Rumble, and then a pretty good build and not a bad match. By the way, there was blood in this match. The WrestleMania payoff between Hulk Hogan and Sergeant Slaughter. But Oli. Sergeant Slaughter. Oli. This guy was pretty decent in the ring for a big guy. And he had pretty memorable moments even outside of his rivalry with Hulk Hogan. But this was a great example of Vince McMahon bringing somebody in from the outside. And he was always pretty good at promoting a monster and building a character that seemed larger than life and very difficult to overcome, even for Hulk Hogan. And it was Earthquake.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, I love that program.

[Billy Gil]

It was like a post WrestleMania program that went several months and Earthquake. It's hard. Once you come out the gates, you have a rivalry with Hulk Hogan, you fail a lot of Guys, we've seen this with John Cena. You get Lord 10 side, you kind of get forgotten and wasted. Earthquake, not the case.

[Mike Ryan]

So they had to write Hogan off screen back then, all right? Cuz he was going to do a movie or whatever. And so back then you had to do something to write him off off screen to keep the illusion you and Earthquake, like he. He hurt Hulk Hogan really bad. And Hulk had to go to the hospital. And I used to wake up every Saturday morning, all right? I would watch my cartoons.

[Billy Gil]

I also used to wake up every.

[Mike Ryan]

Saturday morning, I would watch my cartoons. And then I would watch WWF Superstars and they would tell us Hulk Hogan is in the hospital. Because this real piece of shit Earthquake, he put him there. I am Israel, I'm going on. And they put up an address on the screen where you. Right to the Hulkster in the hospital.

[Billy Gil]

Oh no.

[Mike Ryan]

You could write him a letter. I'm nine years old at this time right now. Little did I know. You say little did I know. They want you to write a letter. Because then they get your mailing address and they could send you stuff in the mail to order merchandise and all.

[Billy Gil]

The old data pool.

[Mike Ryan]

That's right. It was, it was a gimmick to get my parents address. Did you say Hulk?

[Greg Cody]

Thank you for fighting for the rights of every man, white men.

[Mike Ryan]

And so I wrote the Hulkster. I was nine years old.

[Billy Gil]

This is crazy.

[Mike Ryan]

I wrote the Hulkster, all right? I wrote him a heartfelt letter. He's in the hospital. I was so sad that Hulk is hurt and that's not it. Because a month or two later, whatever it was, I got a postcard from the Hulkster. I got a postcard from. It's signed by him and everything, you.

[Billy Gil]

Know, that somebody else wrote.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you know, it's a copy of the signature and it's a generic, you know, thank you, Hulkamaniac. I was so excited. That letter came in the mail. The Hulkster wrote me back from the hospital bed.

[Billy Gil]

That's not the worst thing that Earthquake did in his pro career. Izzy, I'd like for you to look up a YouTube video of earthquake killing Damian.

[Greg Cody]

Got it.

[Billy Gil]

There is. There is an iconic moment in his rivalry with Jake the Snake Roberts where Earthquake kills the beloved Damian Snake of Jake the Snake Roberts. And it was traumatizing.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you for telling me Damian was a snake.

[Chris Cote]

I gotta tell you, Earthquake sounds like he was misunderst. He put a racist in the hospital and he killed a snake named after a devil that used to go around attacking people. Like, I think that Earthquake may have been doing good.

[Billy Gil]

It's an interesting way to look at it. He also debuted as Canadian Earthquake and quickly dropped the Canadian part. All right, number five. Now, this payoff was one of the worst matches of all time. But during the Monday Night wars, during WCW's hottest era, Sting was hanging from the rafters. Sting was taking on the entirety of the nwo. It carried, like, an entire year of programming.

[Mike Ryan]

He went a whole year without talking.

[Billy Gil]

A whole year without talking. And Sting was the biggest babyface in the company at the time. So Sting is number five on Hulk Hogan's greatest rival.

[Greg Cody]

How could you tell he was a babyface?

[Billy Gil]

He was, like, a bit of an anti hero. This was his Crow era. But you could tell he was a babyface because he was attacking the nwo.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh. And it's based on the crowd reaction.

[Billy Gil]

And he felt very hurt when people assumed that he was the third man in the nwo. Lex Luger's best friend was doubting his loyalty to wcw, and he became this vigilante.

[Greg Cody]

But he covered his face is what.

[Billy Gil]

I'm saying he did. And part of the reason why the Starrcade match was so poorly received was they botched one of the finishes. Sting actually loses in the middle of the match. He gets pinned, and they just like, oh, never mind that.

[Mike Ryan]

The referee, the communication wasn't good. The referee counted three. It's like, oh, what just happened? You know, I can't believe we did.

[Billy Gil]

This entire year just for Sting to lose clean.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it was bad.

[Billy Gil]

It was real bad. Number four is Andre the Giant. Went through why that was number three. Very emotional videos that he put out there yesterday. A good friend. And I mentioned that part of what complicates Hulk Hogan's legacy off the field. And Hulk Hogan, the person for me is I know exactly how decent of a friend he was to Ric Flair. How he stood by his side when Ric Flair was at, like, Hulk Hogan was in the hospital so much, I guess, easy for him to like. Ric Flair didn't like other people in that locker room, but, you know, complicated guy nonetheless.

[Greg Cody]

But wait a second. So I'm just watching the video of this guy killing the snake.

[Mike Ryan]

Terrible, right?

[Greg Cody]

Well, I don't know if I went to the wrong video, but he pulls out a bag from under the ring.

[Billy Gil]

Sack.

[Greg Cody]

Bag's not really. Sorry. Sack. Bag's not really. Sack's not really moving, but you assume there's a snake in there. And he goes like. What do you call that when you.

[Mike Ryan]

Go from, like, he runs the ropes.

[Greg Cody]

He runs the ropes and then he's about to like drop like a leg kick on him or something and they go straight to a commentary guy and they don't actually show it. Am I watching the wrong video?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, because it's so traumatic, they had to not show it on television.

[Greg Cody]

That, that, that he jumped on top of a bag.

[Billy Gil]

It was a snake in the bag.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah. Damien. Yeah. So number three was Ric Flair.

[Dan LeBatard]

That was a fast count, by the way.

[Mike Ryan]

I just watched.

[Dan LeBatard]

I was interested in the match that they did. The count like that was the fastest count I've ever seen.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, it was a disaster. Nick. Was that Nick Patrick?

[Chris Cote]

Was it Nick?

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, the NWO ref. He was on the take. Number two. This guy was incredible on the microphone and had a great rivalry with Hulk Hogan. Sold a lot of tickets. Main evented the first ever Wrestlemania alongside Hulk Hogan. And it's Roddy Piper. Roddy Piper, one of the all time greats. Roddy Piper, one of the best ever on the microphone. Roddy Piper never needed a championship to get over.

[Greg Cody]

Wore a skirt.

[Billy Gil]

Kilt.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Kilt. Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

And number one we went into is certainly Hulk Hogan's greatest program over a year long, his greatest rival and should be interested if Hulk Hogan actually made it to the Pearly Gates. Macho man is there telling him to be a man.

[Mike Ryan]

It's probably on site between Macho and him.

[Greg Cody]

I thought you were gonna say black.

[Jeremy Tache]

People like Tony and Dominique.

[Billy Gil]

It's probably not gonna happen.

[Dan LeBatard]

[Stugatz]

UnitedHealthcare nurse Crystal checked in on a patient.

[Billy Gil]

We do a routine call after surgery and I could tell in her voice that she was struggling.

[Stugatz]

Crystal knew she needed help.

[Billy Gil]

I knew that this is very serious.

[Mike Ryan]

This is like septic. This is life threatening.

[Stugatz]

And she knew just what to do.

[Billy Gil]

And I called the hospital and said she's coming in. Here are her labs and got her.

[Stugatz]

The help she needed. I see my role at UnitedHealthcare as.

[Billy Gil]

A life saving role.

[Stugatz]

More stories like [e-mail] benefits, features and or devices vary by plan. Area limitation and exclusions apply.

[Mike Ryan]

Don LeBatard Can I tell you something? I don't know? Maybe like A month ago and I decided to watch Pitch Clock and I told Jeremy Stugats, this is a good show you're doing. This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Billy Gil]

Big movie weekend. We'll see how big of a hit happy Gilmore 2 is.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, I can't wait to watch.

[Billy Gil]

That's tonight. We had Boban on the show.

[Greg Cody]

It's on already. You can watch it right now.

[Chris Cote]

I thought about getting up this morning and watching it before work just to have like. Because it came out at 3am you.

[Mike Ryan]

Gotta like set the scene in your house. You don't want to rush to watch it.

[Chris Cote]

That's the thing is that then you get into like the whole thing. Like I get into a thing with my wife where like if. Then we go on Netflix there, she'll be like, oh, happy Gilmore 2's out. And then I woke up and I watch it at 5:30 this morning. So I'd watch it before. So then do I like pretend I didn't? Do I watch it again? I was like, you know what? I'm just going to be loyal to my wife and not watch this and we can watch it tonight with some popcorn.

[Greg Cody]

I watched a few minutes.

[Chris Cote]

Minutes?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, a few minutes on the way in this morning.

[Mike Ryan]

Like you start at the beginning on.

[Dan LeBatard]

The way in while driving.

[Billy Gil]

I'm glad.

[Chris Cote]

Are you driving?

[Greg Cody]

I don't want to answer that question.

[Billy Gil]

I'm glad you did.

[Chris Cote]

How long is it?

[Billy Gil]

What were your early impressions?

[Greg Cody]

My early impressions?

[Mike Ryan]

How many minutes did you watch?

[Greg Cody]

Probably about 4. 14. Watch 14. And my early impressions is the premise is about as nonsensical as the original.

[Mike Ryan]

Good. I mean, you ever see Billy Madison?

[Greg Cody]

Some people here, I don't know everybody. Some people, like, recognize that I'm not a huge Adam Sandler fan. I'm not really liking all of his. I did watch the classics. Watched them all once. Right. But I did start to watch Happy Gilmore over again. And this one, it just. I mean, it just makes me laugh. Like I don't think he could do it again today. But like the idea that he is a huge hockey fan and his dad gets hit by a puck and killed and he becomes more of a hockey fan. Like if my dad got killed by a hockey puck, I'd be like, you know what? I'm going to go ahead and change sports. That sport. Not for me.

[Chris Cote]

You asked. The Kachuk says how they want to go.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can I, Can I ask? Can I guess? I bet this is how it goes. The movie starts. He's like older Done being happy, not playing golf anymore. He gets challenged by one of these, like, the Scheffler. Like, a current golfer is like, hey. They have some sort of altercation where it's like, oh, I could still do it. And then all of a sudden, it's.

[Greg Cody]

Like, I didn't get that.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I think he's. I think he, like, needs money. I think you're right about what you said at first, but the reason he gets back into golf is he. He needs money, and he needs it fast.

[Billy Gil]

So does he join the live tour.

[Dan LeBatard]

Kind of like last time, then? Because he needs. He needed it for his grandma's. I watched the first one last night, by the way. I was like, let me refresh the drink a little bit.

[Mike Ryan]

Still good.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, it's like, how'd you feel when Ben Stiller was abusing the elderly?

[Mike Ryan]

How about I get you a nice glass of shot? Yeah, it's a common line we use in my house.

[Billy Gil]

I'm excited for this one. I wish it were. If it were in the movie theaters, we'd go to the theater. Right?

[Dan LeBatard]

It's directed by what, the workaholics guy? New check.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, really?

[Dan LeBatard]

That makes me feel better. Not the three actors, but the guy that directed all theirs. Yeah, exactly. So that I was worried that the movie was gonna be bad when I saw he's directing it gives me hope.

[Chris Cote]

Him and Spielberg.

[Greg Cody]

I don't know if you guys were watching that.

[Billy Gil]

No Cold Water.

[Greg Cody]

If you guys were watching that show Stick on Apple tv.

[Dan LeBatard]

I've seen the first with Owen Wilson.

[Greg Cody]

Owen Wilson. And, you know, the premise of that is as somebody he discovers as this great golfer who I think spoiler alert is a son of a golfer as well. But that one this guy goes from.

[Dan LeBatard]

Genuine spoiler goes from.

[Greg Cody]

It really was actually, you know, what.

[Chris Cote]

If he doesn't abide? That was wild boiling.

[Greg Cody]

I did say spoiler alert, Did I? Okay.

[Chris Cote]

I feel like Abby gomers have way too many cameos. Like, that's one of my.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's the part that makes me nervous.

[Billy Gil]

Well, that's. That's a Sandler.

[Dan LeBatard]

But seeing Bad Bunny, like, on the.

[Billy Gil]

Bag, a Sandler staple, is having cameos, and they're. I mean, Dan Patrick's got to be in it. We know MJF is in it.

[Chris Cote]

I saw one of the Bellas is in it, and one of the Bellas is mad because all of her lines were cut out, and she did, like, a press tour promoting the movie and then watches like. Oh, nothing that I said was actually in the movie.

[Dan LeBatard]

I saw Travis Kelce's a waiter.

[Chris Cote]

Really? Wow.

[Greg Cody]

I didn't get. Not get to any of those parts.

[Billy Gil]

All right.

[Greg Cody]

I got to one part that I can't spoil for you because it's sort of the whole premise of the thing. But it's. It's wild.

[Mike Ryan]

I can't wait to watch this. My wife loves Adam Sandler. It's her favorite actor. So we see all of the Adam Sandler.

[Greg Cody]

It's so weird. I like your wife so much. She.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Yes. That. That is a com. Like, she. He's the top of the hall pass for her.

[Chris Cote]

Really?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris Cote]

Huh. Who else is on that list?

[Mike Ryan]

Dave Matthews.

[Chris Cote]

Really?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

I'd be.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'd be more okay with Adam Sanders.

[Mike Ryan]

And then. And then Omar Epps. She loves Omar Epps.

[Chris Cote]

I was gonna say she has a type, but then Omar Epps kind of program.

[Mike Ryan]

What's the difference?

[Chris Cote]

So you have like a Dave Matthews vibe.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah.

[Jeremy Tache]

She must really love. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry then, because Adam Sandler and Dave Matthews flirt with each other in that.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, Dave Matthews is in a lot of Adam Sandler movies.

[Jeremy Tache]

Must have been a moment for her.

[Billy Gil]

When did you stop waking up? Saturday mornings.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm still. Still doing it.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, me too. I haven't missed one yet.

[Chris Cote]

I like the beard, Zaz.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, that's because I'm an adult.

[Chris Cote]

Are you going to just keep that going, grown ass man?

[Mike Ryan]

I'm planning on staying an adult.

[Chris Cote]

Nice.

[Mike Ryan]

We'll see where it takes us.

[Billy Gil]

You saw a movie last night, right?

[Mike Ryan]

So Fantastic Four last night.

[Billy Gil]

All right. Now you definitely have to be. This is Marvel free. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Won't spoil. No spoiler.

[Greg Cody]

Did you guys get your Fantastic Four skins?

[Billy Gil]

Oh, for Fortnite.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

Nope.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Billy Gil]

I don't play Fortnite. Have. Haven't ever played Fortnite. Not a thing that I've done. But I am excited about this one. Fantastic Four.

[Mike Ryan]

I have to see every superhero movie the night before it comes out. It like. It's like, it's. Well, it's officially out today, but. But now they release movies. You know how movies.

[Dan LeBatard]

You made fun of me for Backstreet Boys.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. You think Backstreet Boys are the same as Marvel?

[Billy Gil]

Marvel.

[Mike Ryan]

Backstreet was the same as superheroes. Nobody ever said that. Backstreet Boys are a superhero. The hell out of here. Backstreet Boys.

[Billy Gil]

Who watched Bert and Ernie and was like, you know, Bert's cadence. I gotta have that. Hey, Bert.

[Mike Ryan]

So I saw Fantastic Four last night. Which. Which is great. Okay. No, spoilers again, it's a great movie, but here's. Here's really what I took away from the movie. Okay, so you know how before movies there are trailers, right? Trailer. They show previews of other movies. All right. You know about these, right, Israel?

[Greg Cody]

Yes. And to go to the movies with you all the time, babe.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, is Israel. We used to do matinee dates. We used to. He used to go see the Saw movies, mate. That's right.

[Chris Cote]

The two of you just would go in the middle of the day to see Saw movies.

[Greg Cody]

Middle of the day.

[Billy Gil]

Middle of the day was that post morning show.

[Greg Cody]

Because Zaslow asked me on a date.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

And I said, you know what, Zaz? Absolutely.

[Mike Ryan]

I didn't do the popcorn trick, though. Didn't do it. We. He's. No one else want. I love the Saw movies, and no one else wanted to go see them with me in the theater, but Israel was down to go with me. So we saw at least two, maybe three of the Saw movies in theaters. Those always our thing. Hey, Israel, new Saw movies out. We're going. Let's go.

[Greg Cody]

And I was like, okay.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, we went. We saw the Saw moves. Anyway, you know how they show trailers before movies? All right.

[Billy Gil]

I think everybody does. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Is it weird that at my age right now, to be afraid of a movie, like a horror movie, to actually be scared of a movie? Because they showed a trailer for this movie yesterday, and I've seen trailers for it before, and I'm interested in seeing it. I love horror movies. Me and my boys go to see all the good horror movies. Yes, you can guess it.

[Billy Gil]

Can I guess? The trailer, Weapons. Yup, yup.

[Mike Ryan]

Weapon.

[Billy Gil]

Guess.

[Mike Ryan]

Josh Brolin. What's her name? Garner. Julia Garner, who's actually Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four.

[Billy Gil]

She's so married to Mark Foster. Foster. The people.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know. I don't keep track of that stuff. And so this movie, Weapons, I'm going to see it because I have to know what is making these kids run away from the homes. And this movie scares me.

[Greg Cody]

I got a trick for you. If you're willing.

[Billy Gil]

Zaz.

[Greg Cody]

If you're willing to watch the movie at home, if you got a little home theater set up in the Manor. Manor Mansion. If you've got a home theater. The easy way to not lose your life when you're watching these horror movies, throw on the captions, man, those things are great spoilers. I watched Sinners in a home theater in Orlando at some rental house, and I was like, I don't know if I want to watch it there. I don't really like scary movies.

[Mike Ryan]

Scary.

[Greg Cody]

I was like, you know what? It's great. And I put on the captions because everybody in my family has to watch shows with captions now. And I was like, wow, nice little spoiler alert right before the jump scare. I get to read it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, I don't do Love island with captions because it says who's getting eliminated.

[Chris Cote]

Before I go like this.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, you have to hold your hand up.

[Chris Cote]

My hand up I go like this. And then I don't see the name.

[Dan LeBatard]

There's always a big dramatic. And the person leaving the island is.

[Chris Cote]

It's always a little.

[Dan LeBatard]

You always see the name before they actually say it.

[Chris Cote]

I think you're good.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Why just not have the cap?

[Jeremy Tache]

I have to say captions for Love island uk, though.

[Mike Ryan]

Really? I'm literally doing them. Like, kids.

[Chris Cote]

Kids are sleeping. Kids love to sleep at their worst times.

[Billy Gil]

All right, well, you mentioned the Saw movies, and I don't know if you saw.

[Mike Ryan]

So is it weird, by the way, like, that I'm. I'm going to see it, but. Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Because it's not.

[Chris Cote]

It's not the most weird thing about you.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah. You got other things going on. Hollywood Reporter put out a top 25 best horror movies of the 21st century list. And I saw this list, and it is a dreadful list. So let's go through it real quick. Number 25. Maybe some people haven't heard of this movie. It's Timothee Chalamet. It's a movie about cannibalism, Bones and all.

[Jeremy Tache]

Really good. I really enjoyed that movie.

[Billy Gil]

All right, so it's not.

[Jeremy Tache]

It's one of the only movies I've seen on this list, actually.

[Mike Ryan]

So I don't even know if I'd.

[Jeremy Tache]

Call it a horror movie because it's. It's cannibalism. But, like, that's a different thing than your standard horror movie, right?

[Billy Gil]

Well, there's a few movies on this list almost romantic. I'm not so sure that that's a horror movie, so we can get through it, but I'm glad we have someone here that saw Bones and all.

[Jeremy Tache]

I did like that movie.

[Billy Gil]

That was number 25. Number 24 is a movie I didn't like one bit. I think it's the worst. A24 movie out. Talk to me.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, that's a good movie.

[Billy Gil]

I didn't like it.

[Mike Ryan]

That movie is violent.

[Billy Gil]

It is violent, but I just. I didn't like it. Usually I can trust, say, 24. I was like, the first time I'm like, this does not bang for me.

[Mike Ryan]

Number 23, the opening scene in that movie is crazy.

[Billy Gil]

Number 23 is really good. A Quiet Place.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah. Number 22 is a movie I have not seen. Has anyone seen under the Shadow? I don't even know what that is. All right. No one. Number 21. Another movie. I haven't seen his house either. Number 20. I have seen Sam Raimi movie, Drag Me to Hell.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a good movie.

[Billy Gil]

Solid movie. Number 19 is another movie that I saw. It's actually. It's actually about STDs. That's what the it is. But it follows. Great movie. And number 18 is presence. Haven't seen that one. Number 17 is really good. Yep. The Invisible Man. That was a solid, solid flick.

[Mike Ryan]

You would call that a horror movie. I think it's just more like suspense. Invisible Man.

[Billy Gil]

The Invisible man is a classic Universal Studios monster.

[Mike Ryan]

That's good movie.

[Billy Gil]

So number 16, huge box office hit, Sinners, available on Streaming now. Number 15, I haven't seen Saint Maud. Number 14, people saw the Sixth Sense and they're like, what if we get another movie with ghosts in a twist? And that was Nicole Kidman's the Others.

[Mike Ryan]

I saw that.

[Billy Gil]

You like it?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it's fine. I wouldn't have it this high on the list.

[Billy Gil]

Number 13, great movie. I guess it's a horror movie, although I wouldn't necessarily. I guess it's a vampire. Nosferatu. Pretty solid. Number 12. We talked about this briefly before. You didn't like us.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I didn't like us. And I like the. I like the Jordan.

[Jeremy Tache]

Not like us.

[Mike Ryan]

I like the Jordan Peele movies. The ending, the twist in the end was cool, but otherwise I didn't really care.

[Billy Gil]

For number 11, the witch. I love this movie. Robert Eggers, who did Nosferatu as well, one of my two favorite contemporary directors. They both have done movies in horror. The Witch is fantastic. The lead in the Witch is actually in Fantastic Four. He plays Galactus. Great voice.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[Billy Gil]

Number 10. This was my biggest problem.

[Mike Ryan]

This movie's crazy.

[Billy Gil]

This was my biggest problem with this list. Hereditary might be the greatest horror movie.

[Mike Ryan]

That movie is crazy.

[Billy Gil]

Don Libertard.

[Greg Cody]

Go ahead, Billy. Ask him.

[Chris Cote]

Your question is gymnastics, possibly.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, wow. Wow.

[Mike Ryan]

St.

[Chris Cote]

I got some flam in my mouth.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, it's okay. Thank you.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Chris Cote]

Gymnastics, possibly. Corrupt.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan lebatar Show with the St Gods.

[Billy Gil]

Ari Aster, a brilliant director. I like to talk about the film Eddington because Pedro Pascal has two films out at the box office right now, and I saw Eddington.

[Mike Ryan]

He's been getting some work lately.

[Billy Gil]

Good buzz around that guy. I'll tell you about my Eddington story in a little bit, but Hereditary was one of the few films that made me, like, stand up and go, what the.

[Mike Ryan]

It has one of the most shocking horror scenes ever.

[Billy Gil]

Yes, it's. It's.

[Mike Ryan]

Me and my son are looking at Holy.

[Billy Gil]

There's a couple of scenes in that where you're just like, oh, my.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, that movie's wild God.

[Billy Gil]

Ari Aster is a wizard. Any list that has Hereditary behind the Conjuring is a crackpot.

[Mike Ryan]

Conjuring's good. Con's Goombi, though.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, but it's not Hereditary. Hereditary is really terrifying. Hereditary should be number one. Conjuring is number nine. Pan's Labyrinth, I don't think is a horror whatsoever.

[Mike Ryan]

Is that the one with David Bowie?

[Billy Gil]

No, that's Labyrinth.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, those are different.

[Greg Cody]

No, I said it's a kids movie.

[Billy Gil]

No, no, no, no. I said everybody thought it was a kids movie. So parents are taking their kids to see this movie and, oh, it was a disaster. I'll tell you one of my favorite films of the 21st century. A brilliant film by Guillermo del Toro. Stunning practical effects. It is kind of like a fairy tale. One of the greatest, most terrifying villains in cinematic history. Not a horror movie. Not even a suspense. Like, this girl goes through this labyrinth, and there are creatures that I guess look scary, but I did not get horror movie vibes. There's one scene of body horror. The guy getting hit with. Yeah, there's plenty of movies with body horror in it that don't Qualify for this list. Just a weird one. I haven't seen Train to busan. That's number seven. Number six, 28 days later. I haven't gotten around to 28 years later yet.

[Chris Cote]

Zaz.

[Mike Ryan]

I haven't either. I've seen the first two of those movies. Like them both a lot. Have not gotten to 28 years.

[Billy Gil]

Number five, straight up. Hated this movie, the Host.

[Mike Ryan]

What was that one again?

[Billy Gil]

It was a Japanese film, and there was a sea monster. I just. I saw it. It had so much hype, and I was like, this movie sucks. Number four is a movie that I've heard really good things about. Just haven't gotten around to it. The Babadook. Number three is a great film. Let the Right One In.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know that.

[Billy Gil]

Number two, Get Out.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, Get Out's great.

[Billy Gil]

And number one, straight up. Haven't seen it. Under the Skin. I guess I got to see that one. Has anyone seen that film? Who? I did. What is under the skin? Is that a. Who's in this?

[Mike Ryan]

I've never seen it.

[Billy Gil]

Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

Have you seen trailers? This was kind of sucks, to be honest.

[Billy Gil]

It's a terrible list.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Have you seen previews for this movie with Dave Franco and his wife? Together? Together. Yeah, I know. It's a remake. That movie looks kind of crazy.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, it looks pretty. Pretty nuts. They just start morphing into one.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, I would also say. And. And I. I don't think it was on this list, and I haven't seen it. It was a remake. It just came out with. What's his name? The guy who plays Magneto in the newer version of X Men. What's his name?

[Billy Gil]

Michael Fassbender.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, no. I'm sorry. The newer version of Professor X. He's a good actor.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was. James McAvoy.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. There's a. There's a new movie that just came out with him where, like, they terrorized his family.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, I saw that movie.

[Mike Ryan]

What's that called?

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, that should be on this list. I forgot the name of it, but how about Smile?

[Mike Ryan]

You guys see Smile?

[Billy Gil]

I have not seen Smile. I put together a list of movies that should have been on this list.

[Mike Ryan]

Barbarian.

[Billy Gil]

The Descent. Should have been on this.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes. The Scent is Scary.

[Billy Gil]

The Mist should have been on this list. It. The remake of it should have been on this list.

[Mike Ryan]

Poor Georgie.

[Billy Gil]

30 days of night should have been on this list. Audition. Really terrifying movie that should have been on this list. The Coffee Table. I don't know if it's a horror Something horrific happens. It could be a dark comedy, but, hell, if Pan's Labyrinth is a horror, the Coffee Table is a horror.

[Greg Cody]

I think the Exorcism of Emily Rose was in the 21st century, wasn't it? I like that movie.

[Billy Gil]

That should have been up there. Yeah, I guess. Midsummer. How are we?

[Mike Ryan]

That. That movie's nuts.

[Billy Gil]

Ari Aster and Ari Aster did a brilliant. What I would say brilliant dark comedy in Eddington. I don't know if you guys know what this film is about. I think they're really. You could tell that the movie studio had no idea how to market this movie, in part because Ariaster is kind of famous for a twist. Not your conventional twist, but sometimes movies just take, like, a hard, sharp turn into a pretty dark and kooky place. I will say Eddington does have a trademark hard turn in it, but the first half of the movie is brilliantly funny. It's about 2020, the COVID starting. It's this town in Arizona called Eddington, and it revolves around a mayoral race between Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, equal opportunity offender. It makes fun of both sides, and it's pretty good. We're at the point now where Covid is, like, nostalgic a little bit. People were laughing really loudly at this movie. But there was something that happened when I saw this in the theaters last Friday that genuinely terrified me as one of the scariest experiences of my life. And I thought it was a part of a viral marketing scheme, because 20 minutes into the movie, this dude limps into the theater with a suitcase on wheels.

[Mike Ryan]

Not what you want to see.

[Billy Gil]

No, no, no, no. The man. This is how I'm gonna describe him. He looked like a slasher from a late 90s slasher movie. He was wearing a fisherman's cap, a.

[Greg Cody]

Blue shirt, dead giveaway.

[Billy Gil]

Red suspenders, blue jeans, a huge belt buckle. The guy was wheezing the entire time. He showed up 25 minutes late. Everybody when he. This guy pulled up was like, what is this? You can't see his face, and he's, like, wheezing during the movie. It's a movie about COVID and you're wondering, like, is this a setup? What. What is going on? Anytime a dude walks in with a suitcase at a movie theater, you're like, I don't need to tell you where your mind starts going. But there are times that he would just, like, hack up a lung coughing. Everybody in the theater was kind of tense. The guy's in there for 30, 30 minutes. There's one time, one scene, he laughs in, like, a very, like, creepy laugh. I was there with my buddy Mochetta. We're like, what the hell's going on?

[Mike Ryan]

Are you guys coming up with a plan in case, you know, shit hits the fan?

[Billy Gil]

He was blocking the only entrance, so, like, yeah, this is where the mind is going. 30 minutes in, he. He stands up. Stands up, looks at the entire, like, theater, like, scans it, like, looks at.

[Mike Ryan]

The audience, like, yeah.

[Billy Gil]

And everyone's like, what is this? He stretches, and then he starts putting his hands towards his belt buckle, which is massive. I swear to God. Right then and there, I'm like. I'm formulating a plan with Mochetta. And he likes lets out, like, this weird, raspy sigh. And then it. Like, there is so much tension.

[Mike Ryan]

Nobody is saying anything.

[Billy Gil]

No, we're all freaking scared. Number one, we're in a movie theater.

[Greg Cody]

But the movie is happening right now.

[Billy Gil]

Movies happening. This is during a scene with Austin Butler, who has a bit part in the movie. And, like, I guess it was, like, a key part of dialogue, but no one's watching at this point. Everybody's locked in on Fisherman from I know what you did last summer. Like, it's crazy. And then he starts making a move to the suitcase, but he does a full rotation because he was on a standalone handicap seat. He does a full rotation around the seat, and then he grabs his suitcase, and then he slowly walks out of the theater. And you can hear the wheels squeaking as he was doing it. I was so scared. So scared. You just.

[Greg Cody]

Did you get any answers?

[Billy Gil]

He goes out of the. He. He goes into the entrance. Cause, you know, it's stadium seating. So he goes out of the picture, but you hear the wheels still squeaking. And everyone in the theater is like, I'm gonna be real with you. Everyone's, like, trying to listen out for a clip at that point, but he just left. He was just in the theater for 30 minutes.

[Greg Cody]

You think he lives in the theater?

[Billy Gil]

Very creepy.

[Mike Ryan]

So there's no. There's no answer to this.

[Billy Gil]

I thought it was, like, a viral marketing stunt at first, because he was co. I thought, like, oh, this is a Covid thing. He looks like.

[Greg Cody]

That would be. My first guess is an unhoused person found his way into the crevices of a movie theater. Because I don't know if you know this, but those things are gigantic. And it's just sort of working his way through movie theaters during movies, and if it happens to be a horror movie, hey, I'm gonna scare the shit out of These people.

[Billy Gil]

But it wasn't a horror movie. No. I'm sorry. No. At which point, at that situation, there needs to be a preemptive strike there. That should not have. As soon as he stands up, somebody needs to tackle it. There was a lot of fight or flight. Like, I was, like, on my, tippy toes a little bit, ready to, like, jump close.

[Dan LeBatard]

Isn't the move to just go, like, go hide behind the seat in front of you and lay on the floor?

[Billy Gil]

They're not bulletproof, dude.

[Greg Cody]

That's what I'm envisioning.

[Billy Gil]

No, no. Like, my plan that I was formulating here was like, I. I guess this guy's moving kind of slow. If he takes something out of that suitcase, I'll just, like, charge him. I was, like, the third row in the stadium seating. He was in the standalone seat.

[Mike Ryan]

So you think at this point, everyone in the theater is watching him?

[Billy Gil]

Everybody was. Everybody. Like, there was a. When the wheels stopped squeaking, you could hear the sigh of relief.

[Mike Ryan]

No, but I mean, like, when he stands up and he's doing the.

[Billy Gil]

Everybody. I could. I was scanning the crowd as well.

[Greg Cody]

Were you trying to decide if you were the one who was gonna spring to action or if you were looking around and seeing if there was somebody else that might be more.

[Mike Ryan]

Did you see there was someone else who looked maybe, like they were about.

[Billy Gil]

It, but there was, like, this group of, like, younger people that were, like, talking about him as he was doing stuff, like, what the hell is this? Because he was, like, hacking up a lung. There was a genuine thought there, from what I could tell, that people thought that this was a plant of some sort. It was that creepy. After we left the theater, I was looking to see if I could see him. No one saw him. And it was one of those things after the movie theater, people were, like, talking about the movie and were saying, like, what was up with that guy? I thought, like, I'm like. I talked to this other group. I'm like, did you think he had something. Absolutely thought he had something with him.

[Mike Ryan]

Terrifying. I don't like that story.

[Billy Gil]

No, it's a bad story. Christian Wilkins got cut by the Raiders yesterday.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

Now, that was one that the Dolphins fans were sad to see go.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think I know. And I've seen people trying to take, like, a. Oh, should we be saying sorry to Chris Greer? I mean, the injury.

[Mike Ryan]

He.

[Dan LeBatard]

He got injured, and it was nothing that could have been projected. So in. In hindsight, I don't know. Who knows if the injury happens, if he's here Still. But to answer your question, I'll take him back.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, hold on. The, the, the. Should we, like, was Chris Greer rights. Should we say sorry to Chris Greer? I don't think that's, I don't think that conversation is because, oh, we, we knew he was going to get hurt. I think it's probably more along the lines of why the Raiders cut him. The Raiders cut him apparently because they don't like the way he rehabbed. Like, like maybe he didn't rehab over the summer, you know. So I think the question is, did Chris Greer know? Maybe this is like a low character guy. Like you can't, you can't count on him.

[Jeremy Tache]

He was supposed to be the opposite of that.

[Mike Ryan]

Right, right.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's why it's, that's odd.

[Mike Ryan]

Right?

[Dan LeBatard]

Because he was, he's like a player rep. Like he supposedly is like the perfect team. Guys.

[Mike Ryan]

It really does seem counter to what we knew or thought of him when he was here in Miami that he would be a guy who would be unprofessional because that's essentially, that's why the Raiders cut him. They're not giving him his money and he's already filed a grievance. It's going to be a big thing.

[Billy Gil]

It is. There's a couple of weird things happening right now with bad ownership groups. Not just the Raiders, but the Bengals too. The Shamar Stewart thing is like nuts over there. Chris, you were talking earlier in the week about how the Dolphins secondary is, is troubling, particularly at corner and they just suffered an injury at corner yesterday at camp. Was that like the main headline from camp or was there something else that tickled your fans?

[Dan LeBatard]

The main headline is them getting out there of like culture changes. Like they've been running sprints. The offensive line were running sprints the other day because they had some pre snap penalties. Mike McDaniel was reported by Dave Hyde yesterday. Seen on the field. They don't hear what he's saying, but just gathering the group and pointing and so, you know, I think they're just trying to get out there the vibe.

[Mike Ryan]

Of a culture change that feels performative. It does to me. You know, like, and this is a terrible start to training camp because then you also have the tour stuff, you know, from actually like that. No, I liked it too. But we're talking about the first day of training camp. The quarterback is telling the top wide receiver, we may not trust you anymore. You know, and that's the start of training camp.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's better than, hey, everything's good. Like I actually liked him saying I liked it.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm with you.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm with you, though. It doesn't give off. Like, hey, we're. We're all together here, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Like, I would have expected to it to get up there the day after Tyree kills all. You know, I'm working on being a better leader because I'm one of the leaders on this. If Tua would have got up the next day and did the whole, you know, we're behind Tyreek. He's our teammate. We support everybody in that locker room. I would have vomited hearing that. So I. I do like that Tua says, like, yeah, you literally quit in the final game of the season. So I don't know, man. We gotta see what happens.

[Greg Cody]

You know what I learned about Tua today? I think, like, Devian might have fake teeth.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, he definitely does.

[Greg Cody]

I didn't like that, Mike.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah. What?

[Greg Cody]

What big teeth. You absolutely killed him.

[Billy Gil]

Fake teeth.

[Greg Cody]

Poor guy.

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from Ebglis. After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

[Dan LeBatard]

EBGLIS Lebricizumab LBKZ a 250mg per 2ml.

[Billy Gil]

Injection, is a prescription medicine used to.

[Dan LeBatard]

Treat adults and children 12 years of.

[Billy Gil]

Age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals.

[Dan LeBatard]

Or who cannot use topical therapies. Ebgliss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to Ebglis.

[Billy Gil]

Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe.

[Mike Ryan]

Eye problems can occur.

[Billy Gil]

Tell your doctor if you have new.

[Dan LeBatard]

Or worsening eye problems.

[Mike Ryan]

You should not receive a live vaccine.

[Dan LeBatard]

When treated with Epglis.

[Billy Gil]

Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection searching for real relief.

[Stugatz]

[Billy Gil]

Exhale.

[Stugatz]

Feel your body relax, and let go.

[Dan LeBatard]

[Stugatz]

[Jeremy Tache]

It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug.

[Billy Gil]

Because a hug is always the right size. Stugaats.

[Jeremy Tache]

All I have put in my body.

[Billy Gil]

Today is three cups of coffee and.

[Mike Ryan]

An entire cup of honey.

[Greg Cody]

The penalty.

[Dan LeBatard]

Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the D. Levatar show with the st. GS.

[Jeremy Tache]

Hulk died. What are we yelling for? It's what this conversation's for. So now Zaz can help me. Let me see it more clearly. Somebody else help the ice melt. Cuz Roy can't relax cause Hulk hates the blacks. So try to be cool. While discussing his legacy. Tell me why don't you think this convo's complicated?

[Billy Gil]

He used the N word.

[Jeremy Tache]

Never apologizing for that's crazy.

[Mike Ryan]

But Zaz loved his moves.

[Jeremy Tache]

When he falls or he crawls or he breaks. For your whole childhood, you ignore the issues while talking about the legacy of the notedly crazy racist.

[Greg Cody]

Shout out to the backup singer.

[Billy Gil]

This fantastic great job.

[Mike Ryan]

How does he write that so fast? That a good job?

[Greg Cody]

Really good job.

[Billy Gil]

It is complicated. Yeah. Yeah, it's.

[Greg Cody]

It's super complicated.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know. It's pretty easy to say he gave you joy and he sucked.

[Billy Gil]

It is art from the artist. And I. I. Not too dissimilar from. Well, dissimilar in several respects. But in terms of megastar appeal and bringing it to the audience, it reminded me a lot of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson died. We were live on the air when that happened. Just like we were yesterday when Hulk Hogan died and both had these legacies. Look, his music meant a lot to a lot of people. But you know, right?

[Greg Cody]

You know what else is complicated? Unwritten rules in the office. I'm curious.

[Dan LeBatard]

Football paws, if you will.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I'm curious about this particular paw. Now that you mentioned, Chris.

[Dan LeBatard]

Now, Jeremy has something really cool that we want to get to going on next week. So I'm going to balance that out with something awful he's been doing around the office the last few weeks. Yeah, he knows what it is. Go ahead, Jeremy. I see. I think he knows. Go ahead. What have you been doing?

[Jeremy Tache]

Have microwaved fish yeah, dude.

[Dan LeBatard]

For like. And not just once. Like, dude, he's on like a health kick thing. Like, that's why, like, trying to eat healthier. And it's not only fish.

[Billy Gil]

I don't want to do it.

[Mike Ryan]

Broccoli. Broccoli.

[Jeremy Tache]

And I'll make it worse. Brussels sprouts.

[Billy Gil]

What are you doing?

[Greg Cody]

You might as well just go around farting the entire office.

[Billy Gil]

You don't do that, man.

[Jeremy Tache]

I know. I. I'm trying to figure out what to do. Right.

[Billy Gil]

Pescatarian.

[Jeremy Tache]

Well, no. So I.

[Billy Gil]

Well, then why are you doing this to folks?

[Jeremy Tache]

I have some heart stuff, so I'm trying not to eat red meat or anything like that. I know I should have a heart.

[Billy Gil]

And don't be doing that in the office.

[Jeremy Tache]

I get it. Honestly. Honestly, hand up my bad guys. I'll try to find a way to be better about this and treat myself well while treating you guys well. Because it's unacceptable. I know it is. Every time I go to do it, I apologize to every single person that's there. Luckily, anyway, I think a lot of you.

[Dan LeBatard]

I noticed because it's. Sometimes I'm walking out, some people are gone, but it's still happening.

[Jeremy Tache]

I'm trying to wait until basically the entire office is done and everybody's had their food. Because at the very least, like the wafting smell of barbecue or chick fil A or whatever it is that we have that will kill me is gone. So that. That I know it's honest cold. Just eat cold.

[Greg Cody]

It's a fine. Cold salmon is fine.

[Jeremy Tache]

Honestly. You're right. You're right. And maybe I can find veggies or a side that are better to eat cold and adjust from here. Because honestly, Chris, I appreciate the public call out because I deserve this. I deserve to kind of look inward, understand that my behavior is unacceptable, and go from there.

[Billy Gil]

Do you have anything on the other side to like, do you have any good works that you're doing in the coming days to make up for this horrible office behavior?

[Jeremy Tache]

Thank you for asking.

[Billy Gil]

How about that? It's.

[Jeremy Tache]

It's that time of year for Camp Fiesta, which for those of you in the audience who are either new or don't remember from last year, Camp Fiesta is a nine day sleepaway summer camp for children with cancer based here in South Florida. My family's been involved since the very beginning. My uncle is the original director. My parents run the camp now. I've been going there every single year since I was born to be involved, and I've been a counselor there since I was 17.

[Dan LeBatard]

Support Jeremy.

[Greg Cody]

You're going to have to do a few more years to make up for the same.

[Jeremy Tache]

I totally understand it.

[Billy Gil]

People get involved. Yes.

[Jeremy Tache]

Camp Fiesta.com donate. We are entirely non for profit. Every single kid goes to camp for free. We take them to Orlando. We do stuff down here. It's really, really wonderful.

[Dan LeBatard]

Great, great thing.

[Jeremy Tache]
