This is the dan leba par show with the stugat spotcast.

Jessica's going to join us here in a little bit and it is strange to me having heard

so many of these arguments over dominoes on coyote show to hear Jeremy and Mike and Tony

just yelling at each other during the break. It's just Cuban people yelling at each other about Cuba. You sound like my grandparent was off, but now we weren't yelling like we were getting along over here. Maybe because I'm Cuban and Italian, especially I talk with my hands. I'm Cuban and Jewish, so I talk with my hands even more. We were all aligned diplomacy rules back here. So if you want more commentary about both highlight and Cuba, you can find your exclusive home for

that's where you'll get my thoughts. That's where you'll get my thoughts. That's where you'll get my thoughts. You're saving it for highlight. You can hear from you and Roy, so maybe you guys can break that down during the highlight right before Nicolas. It's Chris Cody's time. We'll get the players thoughts after. Before Jessica joins us, though, and I want to get to some Max Crosby stuff with you guys and the LeBron thing, whether or not he's going to play in Miami or not, but I just want to ask you,

I'm going to give you no other information about this, but to tell you who it is that saying this, but I ask you guys to tell me how you feel about the person who comes into work today and announces to everyone, I texted all my friends tonight before the game. Harper has a big swing in him tonight. I heard this today. I didn't like it. Now, I'm just asking you guys how you feel about that person because Mike Ryan has said, Ethan's on the broadcast today at 245, is this that's

a selling point, and I'm like, that's a reason to not tune in that Ethan is going to be hammering in part of the live stream when Ethan came in here today and he said, told us all, "No, no, I texted my friends. Harper's got a big swing in him tonight." As someone who's in

multiple group chats with Ethan, he never stops texting his friends. But that and that, though,

and he probably gets that nine out of ten times wrong and he doesn't kind of work and tell you what did a lot of predicts. He's Floyd May, whether showing his winning bets on Twitter and then going broke off while he's worth $1.2 billion. That's a conversation we didn't have with the MVP, you know, boxing situation. Floyd's going to be more active now in a retirement that he was during his fighting crimes fighting three times this year. He's going to make a bunch of money.

Max Cosby is going back to the Raiders and he has commentary now. Do we have the sound of this because he says he's healthy and he says that the meaning with the ravens was weird and cold and I guess confusing. Here's Max Crosby. Before I left, I wanted to see the head coach just

chop it up, talk full ball, talk ball like he's defensive guy, never met him before like that,

so I wanted to chop it up. So I didn't get to meet with him to the end of the day. I didn't get to see the GM that all. I thought I was going to see him when I first got there. I didn't see him for five hours. So he didn't come out no time you're testing or doing your physical everyone's talking about the GM never came one time to see it. And I don't know why. I'm not going to speculate. I didn't see him one time. I even asked the girl. I was like, where's the, I was like, where's

Erica? Like I want to say, you know what I mean? Like he just made the trade. Like I didn't see him. So I go and do my thing. At the end, they're like, yeah, I'll take you up. Joe was like, I'll take you up and you go see the head coach whatever just before you leave. I was like, hell yeah, I was like,

that's what I want to say with so to him. So I went back up. I'd dapp him up and they could just tell

like the energy was a little bit off. And the GM was standing like the hall like in the room next to me

to the right. And that was the first time I seen him. And you know, I'm just, in my head, like I'm just

this a whirlwind, like I'm so excited, like fired up, you know what I mean? Like this is new opportunity, whatever. And you just tell the energy was off. Like I'd dapp him up. He had like a blank face. And I'm like, okay, I'm not thinking anything of it. Maybe he's just different. I don't know. I don't know him. Whatever. I go into the room. They sit me down on the couch and he's like, man, I don't know how to say this. But, you know, one of our doctors has concerns with the results of

whatever. And like, with your knee, like some of them have, you know, or concerned about the future. And that, that, that, that, that, that, that. And I mean, we really want you. And this is what it is. But, you know, we're just going to have to get more and more opinions. That sounds like a team that knew they weren't going to keep him before he arrived the building

that day. That's what sounds like. I mean, I would not really knowing anything about how that type

of situation works. But certainly sound listening to Max Crosby there. How to assume the GM who made the trade will be pretty excited to say hello to the guy when he steps foot in the building. Well, you guys don't really think in all of the coverage of this and the confusion and the clear back room of it. And the fact that some of this feels borderline unethical, but nothing is really unethical and business. If it doesn't happen legally, you know, after the football calendar starts,

Hendrickson can't happen in 12 hours unless they already know what they're going to do. You don't turn around and make a deal like that. That fast with an agent in 12 hours. That's

Something that they had to have known.

Well, the raven's claim began claim. They wanted to pair Crosby and Hendrickson. Yeah. And I hear your point. I understand the logic behind it. Sometimes these things come together very quickly. And I can also see a club casting its line for both players, figuring they got twice the chance to get one or the other. Because those are A and one A in terms of who you want at that. This doesn't get to go away, not being suspicious. Sure, but also they probably didn't

have the leverage of, all right, we're not going to keep Crosby. We don't like what his knee looks like. So Hendrickson, we got to come to the table strong. We can't show him. He signed for four for 112. We can't tell him 96. Right. Like we have to try to meet his number. Well, what's suspicious to me is that one team doctor would say, nah, your knee isn't right. And the other team doctor would say,

yeah, it's fine. It's like a jewelry situation. I think it sounds like in the two days. Again,

which is the legal tampering period. I think in the two days, since they made the trade, they saw that Hendrickson was not getting the attention that they thought he would out there in free agency and realized before Max Crosby even got to their building, we could probably come up with a deal with this guy and not give up, forget one, two first round picks. Like that, that sounds like they knew they had in their back pockets, the out of the physical for a player who just

nine weeks prior had an operation. Jessica joins us now. Any thoughts on Cuba? No, just kidding. I was going to say it. My biggest takeaway from that clip. So he said they flew him into Washington and then made him drive two hours to Baltimore. Was that what he said? Well, I think he did say, not I don't think in that clip. But yes, he did say that. I mean, you don't want to sit in the car. Those airports are very far away. The Washington airports are very far away from Baltimore.

There's always traffic getting in between the two. I think that in itself shows a level of

disrespect. I think he flew commercial. You're letting them get away with. He also flew commercial. You can't find a B. W. I mean, put it on the pole. Did Crosby get hurt from having long legs in the car ride from Washington to Baltimore? Because he might have gotten more hurt. It is a long drive. She's not wrong about that. We haven't talked a lot about brackets here. I don't know how anyone here feels about brackets. I never filled them out.

Like them. You do like them. Jessica, how do you feel about brackets? I love March Madness. I love looking at my bracket. The second I start filling it out, Dan. I get so mad at myself. I end up with four ones in the final four and then I just

ripped the whole thing up and start over and then I end up with the worst thing you've ever seen in

your life. So you're not brave enough. You can't actually bring yourself to ruin your bracket by risking a one or two seed losing early and then getting it wrong. Correct. And here's the problem because I watch more women's college basketball than men's. And in the women's tournament, I believe the lowest seed to ever win was a three seed. So there's got not going to be like four seeds making it all the way to the championship game generally. So there's a lot of chalk like

later in those brackets. There might be some like six eleven upsets or you know early rounds and stuff like that. But like I watch those games. So those I feel like I can predict and then I'll end up with the four one seeds anyways. And that generally, you know, maybe I'll get three out of the four right. But then on the men's side, like there is the tends to be more like two's or three's that make it through. And that's where I don't know what the hell I'm doing. And I end up with Duke

winning it. And I don't know why. I don't think they're going to do that. I like to work in a four

to my final four every once in a while. You know, I feel about a four. You never do well in these.

That's right. Like that's right. Exactly. So you're still down. I suck anyway. So okay, but none of you are good at this. Correct? I'm very good at it.

He bragged. Yeah. Go on. I'm great at brackets. That's it? I believe it. I'm good at it.

Oh, you want to tell us who it is that's going to. So who's your final four? Have you filled them out? Yeah. I have filled it out. Glad you asked Anne. Michigan. Quincy. Brave. Arizona. Quincy. Absolutely. Duke. All the bravery. Lim's creaking. Florida. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. So who do you play me? I want to see what I want to see. I have the same final four is you.

Told you. I got all the best teams. I like you guys. Do you have in your finals as you were like picking a bracket and you're like, wow, the best teams are still available. Why

wouldn't I pick the best teams? I exactly. I've got St. Louis beating Michigan in the second round.

Word. How about that cream? I'll do it. I didn't. ESPN post a betting preview of the women's tournament that had men's records instead of women's records. I slap. They did. It was allegedly pulled from, you know, AI pulled it from Google. It is still

This is, you know, the surprise to know it.

when you're Googling basketball, college basketball. It always shows like several options for

the men's basketball team. And then you have to put in women's then you have to scroll a bunch of

socks. But yeah, apparently they're betting preview had like South Carolina who's, you know, a one seed in the women's tournament had them winning like 13 games this year because the men's team had only won 13 games and on and on for the rest of the team. So that's quite disappointing. But luckily someone caught it and then they fixed it. Have you heard or read or reported any details on the WNBA settlement in the middle of the night that would give me some information about

whether or not the owners won or the players won? I haven't seen exact numbers yet as we've recorded this. But I think the fans definitely win because we're going to get a on-time season. I think that was something that was certainly seemed like it was in jeopardy a week ago before they started all these marathon negotiating sessions. And I think that if there had been a holdout or a strike, I think a lot of fans would have understood because we all are aware of the

economic realities of the current CBA and what the players were trying to do with the re-negotiation.

But it's still a sucked because obviously there's like so much momentum right now in women's

basketball. And it's always a fun time of the year when you go from the NCAA tournament straight into

the WNBA draft and then you get, you know, there's going to be a double expansion draft this year. And then the season starts three weeks later. I mean, it's a really exciting momentous time. So it would have been I think pretty unfortunate that either got delayed or indefinitely postpone. So I think that that's a big win. Quick break to tell you about a special miller time I had with my good buddy Mochetta. Mochetta texted me the other day. He said, hey, what are you doing for the game?

I said, I'm just on my couch right now doing nothing. Enjoying it. He's okay. Do you want some company? I said, from you Mochetta? Absolutely. Mochetta comes over to the house and I pull out the miller life. Miller life made that casual hang. A memorable, good miller time with my good friend Mochetta. Because miller life brought us together. We took that first sip after we toasted our beers and we knew we made the right call. We watched a game. All of a sudden we're standing up on our feet.

Limited Time Offer. Dunlibotard. I don't like Smitty either. Stugats. Women stay home in the kitchen where they belong. VCC Dunlibotard show with their stugats. This for sure is going to happen to baseball next year though, right? No, there's no way that without a salary cap and with as much that's changing in all the television money. There's no way that baseball avoids us. That's the concern. Yeah, that's the concern with all the

momentum you felt right. We're sitting here in March of this year and it's like, "Oh my god,

baseball's amazing. Look at the Latin players. Look at the flare. Venezuela, D.R." And this time

next year we could be sitting here saying, "All right." Well, the season's been delayed at least a month or two and a short and season could be incoming. It would be a disaster for major league baseball, but it feels like where we're headed. The fan, it is interesting when she says, "Of course, the fans do win here, but the fan could not possibly care less about who gets what percentage of what just give me games or I'm going to lose everybody in MLB." I agree,

maybe in baseball, maybe. But I think in the WMBA because I think everyone that is a fan of the

WMBA is aware of the economic realities and the fact that their favorite play...

overseas or why we have these other leagues been up like on rival. I think the fans generally do understand that there is a, there needs to be a real recommitment reinvestment into player

salaries. So I think maybe we're not talking about players making $100 million in this case,

but certainly in baseball and that's why although you can obviously make the argument that fans

who also have like jobs should be, I don't know, maybe more understanding of the labor dispute aspect of it. I know it's probably harder for people to, you know, commiserate with millionaire baseball players. So there is a little bit of a difference there, I guess. Yes, I wonder if you think the players maybe should have held out longer or, or bargain harder because in the last couple of years, I don't have to tell you this. Last year, 1.3 million average

watched a WMBA game. NBA was only 1.53 million. That's a 1215 percent difference. The WMBA in the past couple of years has really drawn closer to the NBA in terms of TV ratings, however, strong you gauge that. So should the women have taken a harder line to get even more? It's definitely hard for me to say that right now because I don't know the exact outcome of this. Like there was some reporting. I like 3 a.m. that the deal was done in principle, but it hasn't

been voted on yet. So I don't exactly know, Greg. I know there's been reporting that the salary

cap numbers expanded quite a bit. I mean, it was very low to begin with now. I think it's

I saw around $7 million if that's right. So that's a pretty big increase. The revenue sharing

structure was kind of the big hang up. And so I haven't seen what that is yet. So I can't say, but yes, it does feel like there's two schools of thought here where it's like, you know, try to use the momentum and the high visibility and the popularity to get a monster deal from the NBA in the WMBA and you know, use all of that in your favor or the flip side is like, don't do you stop all that in its tracks if there's some sort of holdout. And I think maybe the

players and executives alike are walking a fine line with not really knowing the answer to that, but I imagine there were some big increases in this current deal and probably not exactly what the players want. But again, it is only like the 6 CBA. I think in WMBA history it's a very young league.

So maybe lays the groundwork for even more next time. But I don't know exactly if I could say

that without knowing what the number ultimately is and how it's being split up. You guys were all excited about those glass cords that glass court,

we're never going to do that again, right? That's the last time that'll ever happen.

No, I was so stupid. I mean, at first of all, it looked stupid. Why? Why are you spending all this money on a glass court and then just making it gray? I don't understand that. It's just so ugly. The women's players played their entire tournament on it last weekend, Dan. Women, we got a glass ceiling and we had to do it the glass floor, Dan. All right. And people complained. They said it was slippery. I'm waiting for a... I'm waiting for a... No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm waiting for a last.

She wanted the heck, he mixed up. She paused. She paused for an easy. She did like a comic does. I was kind of pre-planted like a jeter line, but... I thought I was going to get a loser game show sound, but I'll take a look. You demanded it. But then the men were like, oh, it's too slippery for us. So the big 12 said, oh, okay. Well, I guess we'll give you a real hardwood floor than oopsies. After the women already played their championship on it, so lame. But yeah, this was a stupid experiment in my opinion.

The Oscars were down numerically. The Oscars were pretty weak in terms of saying anything loudly about the state of current affairs in Hollywood. There's been a beating down of people in Hollywood who have fewer jobs than they used to have. Did you have any Oscar thoughts? Did you get wrapped up in the Oscars? It was such a badly produced show. This year, Dan, there are so many technical mistakes. They kept cutting people off. It was very sad. There were a few funny bits, though.

I don't know if you caught the bit of the Conan Casablanca skit that they did where they were making fun of the fact that studio executives are allegedly saying that they need people to constantly be resetting in the TV shows and movies that they're making the stakes and the characters in the plot lines because people are watching shows on their phones and need it to be repeated to them over and over. So they did a bit where they were pretending it was Casablanca and they were

continually restating World War II. That's the one with Hitler, right? And it was very funny. There were a couple good AI jobs, but yeah, overall it was not that great of a show, which is a bummer because I enjoyed the movies and I loved the movies, but I don't know if

The Oscars needs to be the most watched award show program for people to care...

movies. Maybe I don't know. I don't think it matters too much. I think people that really really

care will watch it and other people will just watch clips on social media later.

Greg Cody is the red carpet a sacred space, is it should influencers be allowed in the red car? No, influencers. I feel the same way, when I see an influencer playing in a celebrity NBA all star weekend game, it's ridiculous. Come on, influencer, you gotta be kidding me. So Drewski, exactly. Too many games, too many award shows though. You heard that, huh? Golden Globes, uh, sag awards. Now called actor, the acting award. You know

about that, baffto? Is that, too? I mean, there's too many awards shows now and they all seem to come right at that. You know, it used to be the Oscars was the big one and so everybody

would gravitate to it. Now it's like one of four or five and we've already seen the other three.

Oh, it's similar. It's going to win. Maybe not. Who cares? Jessica, influencers on the red carpet? I don't know how we're defining influencers anymore because our influencers, does that include people who are comedians that don't do stand up at post videos on their social media? Like, does that include people who host podcasts? I don't know what. I don't know how we're defining influencers. I don't know what a content creator is. Our journalist content creators. It certainly

seems that journalism companies want their journalists to be quote unquote content creators in this day and age. But, Dan, I don't know if you saw there was this a bit of a stir over a red carpet, host, his name's Jake Shane. I suppose he's an influencer/perhaps content creator. Also podcast. But apparently in podcast or yeah, apparently he does like very celebrity friendly podcast or something

like that. I feel listen to it. That's why I give it. But he got in a little bit of hot water because

he asked some questions that people found a little offensive. I'm wondering now, and this is

why I get never thought I would say this. But I kind of wish David Samson was here right now because

one of the questions pertain to a movie that I'm certain only David has seen. Have any of you seen the movie if I had legs? I'd kick you. I loved it. Yeah, I've seen it. Oh, Dan, seen it. Am I? I can't believe how well she acted that a baby was annoying her the entire time when she was never around the baby. Okay, so I'm shocked that anyone also seen this movie, but I'm glad that you have, Dan. It was, it was a good Roseburn guy nominee for best

actress for her performance in it. So anyways, this guy, his name's Jake Shane. Apparently he kept asking, I believe Julia Fox and Damson Idris, he's like, that kid was really annoying, right? The kid from the movie. And it rubbed people the wrong way because the whole point of the movie is that Roseburn is like really, really in the thick of it with her daughter who has this chronic illness and the whole point was that the kid was annoying. So on the one hand,

I'm like, well, the interview is right because the kid was pretty annoying. But maybe there's like a tone context thing missing here where it sounds like he's being a little bit too glitched. So then anyways, Dan, Variety wrote this whole article talking about how the red carpet at the Academy Awards is no place for influencers. It's a sacred place and there's no, yeah, you can't be an influencer on the red carpet because it's just not, it's not good and the celebrities hate it.

Movie sounds terrible. It's a little bit tough. It's pretty meta to like the ending kind of explains why the child is at a picture and it doesn't really have much to do with the child. It has a lot to do with Roseburn's plight throughout the film. I'm a big fan of Roseburn, but I don't know that I'm watching this movie will make you anxious on purpose. It's a bad title, bad title. Good dose of birth control though. It's a great time. It definitely will make people who don't want

kids be like, yeah, I probably still don't want kids. It's a great movie though and see now I'm

being glib. What I say that in a red carpet though probably not Dan and I think that's maybe the

point. But it is a good movie. I didn't love it. It wasn't like the best movie I've ever seen, but it was good. Roseburn's ex like Conan O'Brien's in it and he is so weird. He's just like a very serious therapist. It's very mean. Yeah, it's in an asap rock. It's in an interesting cast. And journal explodes. I don't know how you guys feel about the movies, but do you want a movie that makes you feel something bad? Because many people don't want that from a movie. I want a

movie that makes me feel anything. If a movie makes me feel something, I will admire that movie for moving my feelings. That movie made me anxious. Jessica, you see value in movies that sometimes make you feel very unsettled. On cut gems did this, those are immersive experiences, I think. Same with Marty Supreme, which was very similar to if I had Ligside Kiki where you're just kind of like, "Oh god, I don't like where this is going." I don't know what's going to happen next.

I think the only reason why there's two reasons I didn't love, if I had Ligsi...

is that I felt like the metaphor for the whole and the ceiling, a little, a little old Dan. It was a little, yeah, like, there's a hole in the kid with the feeding tube and the ceiling. I kind of got that. It was like a little surreal at times, which I was unsure. I mean, I guess that

was kind of the point she slipped to pride, whatever. But second of all, it just reminded me of being

with my mom, not in a good way. So yeah, it was very triggering for me. And you're right. I think

that's why we watch the movies to make you feel something. The worst movies are the movies where

you leave and you're like, I need to watch that. I feel nothing. I'm much rather feel sadness listening to music than movies for me personally. So I'm good with sad music. Plus early three minutes long. Sad movies. What's your sad song? Go to Chris Cody. I'll get, I'll get back to you. That's, uh, new little Phoebe Bridgers. Not great on your feet pink. I'm there. You, I don't want to just fake it. You brought your dad so far. He did bail. He didn't want to go through the entire timeline

of all the movies. Titanic songs that he likes and doesn't like realy. We all, he looked good. Am I right? Do you love words? That's your musical performance. Thank you. At Levitar Show, do you watch every movies that make you feel anxious at Levitar Show? Oh really? Let's go ahead and do that then. It's Jessica's internet minute.

Guys, I don't like the internet anymore. I'm out on the internet as a whole.

The things that I used to love the internet for. I just now assume they're all AI or staged for clicks and lately, uh, latest example of that was this pelicans guy who apparently did a Irish gig so fast as pants fell off. And look, it's a funny video. Don't get me wrong. I, I left when his pants fell down. But is it real? I have no idea. I don't trust it. Is it staged possibly? I mean, it may have happened in real life, but been, you know, let me look at the hands of everybody else.

And the hands have to look at the inside of the eyes and how blouse you the shorts have to be when your thighs are that size. You know what, you know why I'm going not real? I look at the crowd reaction to stuff like that. And no one in the crowd there is reacting to the seemingly funny thing of his pants falling down. So you have somebody going into AI and typing in the prompt, New Orleans Pelican fan doing no Irish day. No, this is a setup. Like it's a put on. Like it's

yeah, right. It's one or the other and I don't I just there's nothing. No such thing is organic funny laugh out loud moments anymore. You know what I mean? Yeah, does I do this sucks. There's no coming back from it and it's only going to get worse. I don't know what's real. It's like it's like vore in soccer. I can't tell. Yeah, exactly. It's great. That's a great comparison. Yeah, it's thanks. And I used to love going on the internet. I'd see something funny that happened in a game

and I'd say, wow, that Pittsburgh Pirates fan just demonstrated oral sex with his partner. That's very funny. And now I see it and I'm like, that might not have even happened. If I had legs. Because fans don't go to Pirates games. If I had legs, I'd kick you. I didn't really understand the title. I liked it. I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's bad. It makes it sound like a comment. It makes it sound like a comedy. I thought she was going to be. You know what

does? Thank you. I also, there were a lot of leg themes and movies this year. I don't know if you guys saw the secret agent. There was a hairy leg in that movie. I don't know if you saw song song blue. There's a, I don't want to spoil it. But man, something happened to the leg there. Did you like the secret agent? I did really like it. I didn't, when I watched it initially, I didn't really understand everything that was going on. And then as I read more from the director

afterwards, I realized how much of it went over my head because I have not Brazilian and have never

been to Recife. But then I did really appreciate it. And I thought Wagner Mora was really, really good in it. It was the sound. It's actually pronounced. Yeah. Arzer H is in Brazilian. It sounded like Willow.

Was that Willow back there? Did I hear Willow? Well, I was actually on the door. What was that?

More dark into that? She let herself out. She's fine. She's all right. All right. See you later, Jessica, reminder to everybody that you could check out her weekly Notre Dame podcast, The Echoes with Mike Cole and Jr. This is not an echo chamber. Thank you, Jessica. Bye bye. Don Lebatard. What do we get here? I got a magnum condom. Um, we won't get that out. That's shocking. Still gots. Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old. Right next to the

calendar. Yeah. Never forget. This is the Don Lebatard show with his two gods.

I want to update some more of this tournament here because I got to get all t...

before all these games start tomorrow. It's going to start getting crazy Friday, 3 p.m. in the Midwest. That was mentioning Alabama. Alabama is the four seed and it's represented by Paul Finebomb. Looks like the major day at a fancy restaurant. It's a really good one. It's a French restaurant. Oh, yeah.

Versus number 13 Hofstra. What do we got? Damn Reno looks like the third place finish

here in a David Hasselhoff look a like contest. That's good. Like Roya with Turkey. We have to stop you. Yeah. I'm so confused. Yeah. You said Mike Cole and Jr. And we making a joke that went

over all our heads. Yeah. Because I made that mistake before where I actually don't remember

like I said. I'm sorry, miss. But like we we were all show like everybody got it that someone had to say something. Okay. Yeah. She made fun of me the last. Yeah. She made fun of me Villanova. That's fine. That's good that everybody. It's good that you do that. It's why I drive home yesterday. And at night, I wake up at about one am. Did I call him Justin Bateman instead of Jason Bateman yesterday when we were talking about there's the Justin happens to a lot of it. But I'm saying this is what's

happening to me with age. You guys as buzzards have me where I have a traumatic stress disorder

on I'm getting enough names wrong at this age that I suspect I'm getting them wrong. It's what happened to me on JJ McCarthy when I went to Stutter Island. Like I had the name and I thought I had it right and then I lost confidence because somebody looked at me wrong and

that's what happened. Then I looked his ads and I'm like did I get that right and then I blew

the whole thing. Yeah. The other day I forgot who Pablo Escobar was. Imagine Pablo Escobar. Like top of the heap when it comes to Narcos, right? This is what happened to me with JJ McCarthy. JJ McCarthy not because I thought for a minute there is a JJ C McCarthy. Did I get it wrong? And that's just what happens with age. And he relation to Kelvin Escobar? Why would you do that? Because I didn't know Chris is going to play a sound. It was just like

loser game showing what it is. You've been on a heater, dude, you're good. I've been doing well. Airball is that what you want everyone to smile, you know. He's like throwing the ball throwing the ball at God and I took it. But you remember those goggles. He's like the fan dancing and it's like you saw the goggles. So it's not real. That's the guy's thighs. That guy's thighs looked real for me. That checks out. Greg, do you even internet anymore? It's got to be

just like so confusing. It's confusing for me. Now it's just everything is fake. Every time I see Jimilar and Haga out, I overhear him saying, have you seen this AI? And I imagine for Jimilar and Haga, chat GPT and Sora and all these other things got to be wild. Who are you? We grew in the internet. Correct? Yeah. It's absolutely crazy for me. And I don't do that. But my wife does that. You don't scroll. But she's a scroller. Right. I think my dad still

gets his news on a website. Like he goes to like AOL.com and like that's how he gets his news.

Honestly, a month ago, or whenever punched the monkey, he was happening, telling you.

A month ago, she comes that we lose a punched the monkey video and my first impression was

that's AI. I don't believe that. And that's what's happening in society now. I'm skeptical of any unusual video before. So if it's this bad already, if you guys are now ancient and fossilized, if all of the search engines and all of the social media is infected, it's only going to get worse from here. And it's already been poisoned in a way that you guys are trying to ween yourself off of the addiction because you know how bad it all is,

because you can't believe anything. Like that, what how did we ruin the internet already? It's the greatest invention in the history of man. All of the world's information is right in your hand. No one's ever had that before. How did we screw that up so fast? Too much knowledge to him. You can go to your phone and everything everyone has learned throughout history isn't your hand. I wasn't meant to happen that with the doom scrolling though, it's the stuff I don't need to know.

But I have to scroll by what they want you to know. Also, I have the top trending now headlines on AOL.com. I'm very interested. I, well, but they're still doing it. AOL.com. A exists. The most famous chocolate bar in the US isn't Hershey's or Reese. That'll be a Greg Cody Show topic for sure on Friday. A basic monthly bill, Americans can't dodge. Just becoming a midterm flashpoint. One of the arguments that was absent the last time we covered

the gentleman from the Reese's family that said, "It's not real chocolate," is, yeah, Reese's. I'm sorry, is that this is a very bitter man. He's been saying this for years and he's considered a crackpot, and a jealous crackpot because of all the millions he's lost. And that context is

Largely missing.

everyone to be like, "Oh, there's chocolate! We will not real!" No, it's been this way for a long time.

Heidi Clume's semi-share body-condress is the sartorial version of a dirty martini.

Oh, I still have and use my AOL email.

I do too. A sad one. Ohio Mom who's tummy tuck complication when viral has died.

And finally, Gweneth Paltrow's alleged backstage rant exposed after she flashed the cameras at the

Oscars. Well, stumble there. Quick, that one. Number eight, Villanova is represented by. Paul Scheme's looks like someone who tried to draw Josh Allen from memory. I don't know, I pounded the table for them to get in and be at a higher seat. I don't know why God put it in eight. That's a two-seat. Paul Scheme's looks like someone who tried to draw Josh Allen from memory. Hey,

favorite do advance in the second round? Eight, nine. Come on. If you're watching on YouTube,

that is so much stronger than you know it is if you're only listening to it because of skins and how he looks like Josh Allen with a mustache, that's facing Utah State a nine-seat represented by. Kirby Smart looks like the wholesale tire rep who tells you he didn't charge you for that alignment even though it's complimentary. What I wanted to see, my not-to-comfortable studio. The master-writer has left her on top of the internet.

She's so pretty. She can say that she can draw the back. You're a master-writer, right?

But you don't trust her. No. You're a master-writer. You're a master-writer. You're a master-writer. You're a master-writer. You're a master-writer. You're a master-writer. You're a master-writer,
