Hour 1: Thumbin' For Finger Foods

I found a kid who swings a golf club like a dream. I'd like to try to qualify him for the U.S. Amateurs. Coming to Apple TV+. What's your name? I'm not into older guys, but I'm flattered. A new comedy series, Stick. I don't want to go on this trip. Your mouth's saying one thing, but those eyes are saying something else. From the home of Ted Lasso. Is he your shot at redemption? This is your mulligan? Owen Wilson. This game takes and it takes. The game's finally giving me something.

Stick. You know Arnold Palmer? Iced tea. Lemonade. Mix it. I'm missing a nap for this. Streaming June 4th on Apple TV+.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.

Cuervo. Tequila. That invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. That's right. It's time for... Against the Stag.

And it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Mike Ryan, lead us off.

French Open tomorrow. Roland Garros. Tommy Paul takes on Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz is on clay. He's great. However, head-to-head, 4-2. Tommy Paul does pretty well against Alcaraz. This is the preferred surface, though. However, if you watch Alcaraz, he usually drops his set to an inferior opponent. He did so yesterday against an American. So I think Tommy Paul can hang around and at least get a set. So I'm taking Tommy Paul, plus 2.5, again!

The Sprint. Third Paul brother. No relation. He's hard to beat by the Alcaraz on clay. I know from playing top spin. This guy's amazing. Yeah. Wednesday, June 4th, 2025. The Edmonton Oilers will be hosting the Florida Panthers. The prize? Well, for that game, the prize is just a 1-0 series lead. But overall, in the series, the prize? Lord Stanley's Cup. Oh!

The Edmonton Oilers, who famously lost last year's Stanley Cup, are one-and-a-half goal favorites. They have the Billy Hamilton of hockey, some are saying. I'm going to take the Florida Panthers plus one-and-a-half in Edmonton. Normally here, I would say, I don't know if they're going to lose the game or win the game, but I don't think they're going to lose by two goals. Friends,

They may win by three goals. What? They may not, but they may. They may. And that's why I'm going to take the Florida Panthers. Against the Bears. Statement game, Dano.

I am embarrassed to admit this, but I am impressed with Logan Paul as a wrestler. He survived the Uso frog splash and John Cena's heel turn the other day. And I was just impressed. I was just impressed by him as a wrestler. I wasn't expecting to. Yes, go.

How are you doing on confidence? Wrestling on Saturday night. How are you doing on confidence? Because you just mentioned John Cena's heel turn in the middle of that. That Uso frog splash is taking down his name. It is. It's tough to kick out of. Logan Paul's a natural at it. He's really good at it. I'm jealous at how good he is at just picking something up that is very hard to pin down. How do you feel about R-Truth getting released there, Dan? Not nearly as bad as the rest of the locker room felt, huh? They've been very vocal about that. I do think... Wait, is the portal open?

I think TKO and WWE should tread very lightly. I don't know if you guys saw what they did, but The Rock made a whole big deal about announcing, New Orleans, we're coming here for WrestleMania. Deal's done. We'll see you. And then a couple weeks later, like, hey, actually, no, New Orleans, you get another show. And New Orleans did not like this. They just chased the money and decided, wrestling fans, wrestling world, back-to-back years in Las Vegas. Yeah.

no one wants to see the same venue they don't do that that's unprecedented outside of like the early part of wrestlemania where they ran back to backs at trump's atlantic city resort this is not something that we do why do you do this well there's more money for tko to grab with the infrastructure of las vegas and have a whole bunch of pop-ups over there tko has been all about the money nikon's been amazing at generating revenue however

And I don't think they'll actually lose viewers in this. But what you're going to do is give a passionate fan base a voice that they often exercise. And I think this is very bold of WWE to continue chasing the dollars, price out some of their diehard fans. You're making an alternative more desirable. And I think...

if you keep pushing on this because that's an insane heat check to announce a WrestleMania take it away from a market that has hosted several before and put it back in Las Vegas that's as

as transparent of a revenue grab as possible. I do think you run the risk of running people off. Okay, this is interesting, though. You're really making the argument on behalf of cheapening wrestling with a soullessness that is about greed and commerce. You're saying that you cheapen the wrestling fan's real passion if you price him or her out because you just grabbed dollars greedily. When has that ever stopped the NFL?

It hasn't. And when has it ever really stopped WWE? I would note that if you follow history, they ran house shows at a loss so parts of America could have access to seeing their favorite superstars because they realize over time that's a long investment.

They did the Saudi thing. TKOs come in. They totally revolutionize and maximize their business model. However, they do things that kind of push the diehards away. Now, the diehards are the diehards for a reason. They stuck around through the 20 teens. There's nothing that you can do to shake these people off. But I do think as you go head to head in markets and try to cut off AEW, they very clearly view AEW as a competitor, despite AEW not really being a competitor financially. It's apples and oranges.

But they want to squash their competition. They want to make it so they can have a monopoly again. And I do think that a very vocal fan base, such as professional wrestling fans are, will take the opportunity if you give them one. And you're inventing an opportunity right now by doing this with these cash grabs. I myself am feeling it. I'm like, this kind of feels a little bit more superficial than it used to. You'll still be there, though. That's the thing. No, see, that's the thing, though. That's why all of...

Those threats are empty, and that's why diehards are diehards. All of that is frustrated bluster to just say, you cheapen my sport. You run the risk of losing me. No, they don't.

How close was the Frog Splash kick out? Just out of curiosity. I thought it was over. It was clearly over. It had to be over. Nobody survives that. I think if you paid attention to what they were doing with the ticket sales and how tickets just get released closer that you get to bell ring. Like there's...

I don't think there's the same kind of interest because they're chasing a more affluent type of fan. And I think certain fans are gonna be priced out of going to shows and that's how you fortify a big following, that's how you establish these connections. That's how you have little kids high five Jey Uso and you're like, wow, my day has been made, I'm a fan for life. I do think that they're gonna end up pushing people to an alternative because they may not be able to afford being able to go to shows.

As I say, let's just climb over all of the problematic stuff around Logan Paul. And, oh, more impressive than I thought as a wrestler. Art from artist. Greg Cody, the thing that I wanted to ask you that I wasn't sure why it was being brought up earlier is I heard you simply talking about both hitchhikers and what you were calling the age of hitchhikers. I understand that this is a featured topic on an upcoming episode of The Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. With?

Greg Cody fills us with tales of an America where people would hitchhike long before the popularity of the serial murderer. Yeah, it's actually in the current episode of The Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody that's out today. Drops every Monday wherever you pod. And also check us out visually on our YouTube channel. Yeah.

I was very fortunate to grow up in what I call the golden age of hitchhiking, which I would say was the early 70s to mid-70s. It was a fairly small window for me. Also the golden era of murders. Well, I'm in my teens and into my early 20s, and this was the golden age of hitchhiking. And yes, I did partake.

I thumbed a couple of times, but mostly if I was in a car with another buddy of mine, this is when Greg Cody had long hair. And, you know, I was never a hippie. I was actually too young to be a full-fledged hippie. But, you know, we partook a little bit. And so if we're in a car and we see a thumb on the side of the road, and it looks like somebody's simpatico who may be carrying something that we could torch up.

you know, maybe we're gonna pick him up. Whoa, partook! Maybe we're, you know, we're gonna give him a, you know... So you were, you were... Let's call it that. What are you gonna give him? Well, he gives us a couple of, we give him a few miles. He gives us a couple of tokes, and we call it a day. You know, we let him off around the bend, give him a wave, give him a bro wave, and then we're gone. Yeah.

You ever meet any friends that way, Greg, or no? No. No? No memorable stories? No, these are short... These are just stories to be told as Grandpa tells you the stories of his ribald past. Right. And he admits for the first time publicly to...

No, no, we've admitted that before. Look, I'm not a saint, believe me. So that's when you were the person picking up the hitchhiker. When you were hitchhiking, would you bring a little something to like...

You know, like, hey, I got a little something to cinch you. That's how it works, apparently. You're looking for people to smoke with. Yeah, no, I'm looking for people to provide. No, I'm saying when you're hitchhiking. And you were thumbing. Oh, yeah. Would you have something like, hey, guys, I got a little something? No, no, no, no, no. Oh, so when you're hitchhiking. Right, yeah, you got to be careful. What'd you do it for? Just a thrill or you need to get somewhere?

I needed to get somewhere. That was back in the day. The Opel GT station wagon was in the shop. I had to get someplace. It's not that different than Uber, right? You're getting in a stranger's car. You don't know that stranger. That's a very good point by Billy. Because he's right. Everybody thinks, oh, hitchhiking. How dangerous. Who would do that?

You're calling an Uber. You got a total stranger picking you up in God knows what kind of vehicle. Yeah. You know. Well, you usually know because it'll tell you. Hey, you know, everything's a dice roll nowadays. Exactly right. It's really not. You get an exact license plate. No, sometimes you look and they tell you, no, the other car's in the shop. You're like, I hope this person's telling me the truth. Right. Murders and rapists really ruin hitchhiking, huh? I guess they ruin everything for the most part. Yeah, they really do. They don't know how to have fun, those people. Well, I mean...

Their fun is different than what we would define as fun, which is what gets them in trouble. You know, eventually hitchhiking became against the law. Yeah. They outlawed it. Even back in the day, it was against the law to hitchhike on a major highway. For now. You never saw a thumb on 95. But you could do it in the back roads. And now, and then they outlawed even that.

So, you know, but it was easy to hitchhike if it was against the law because you saw a cop car coming a mile away. And you said, I'm stretching out the old thumb, you know. Just act like you're scratching your head. Exactly. You go like this and you go. I'm just saying. Exactly. Right. They slow down. You say, I'm just giving you a thumbs up for job well done. Thank you for your service. Good job, officer. Thank you for your protection, officer. Yeah.

Dan, you ever hitchhike? Put it on the poll. No. At Levitard Show, did murders and rapists ruin hitchhiking? I doubt it. Are you saying that they made it better, Dan? That's a take. I'm putting up a poll question. I'm not saying anything. I'm just putting up a funny poll question. You and Greg Cody talking about hitchhikers and Greg specifically.

talking about his tawdry past that i want chris the investigator to continue asking him questions because it seems like greg was only getting into cars and then bumming weed off of people it doesn't seem like no it seems like he had this standard that if he was going to pick up a hitchhiker they needed to have something to smoke but when he was hitchhiking he never

felt the need to like supply like, hey, I got something we could smoke. - No, I mean, come on, you didn't carry it around. - But you're saying that you were hoping someone that was hitchhiking did carry it around. - During your most dangerous days because you really are looking back fondly at what a rascal you were, at what a scoundrel you were back when you were a hippie hitchhiker.

What I'm trying to convey is that back then, it was pretty common. Okay, it was common. So it's like, I got to go to the store. What are my options? I could drive or I could just go out and hitchhike? You did it a couple of times. You know, I'm not overselling it. I didn't spend... Nobody spends 10 years hitchhiking, okay? Hitchhiking is sort of a sad thing. You do it when your car's beat up and broke down. Or you do it just, you know, you pick up somebody for ulterior motives.

Which in my case had to do with, you know, a puff here, a puff there. Did people ever have the thing from Pee Wee Herman, like the stick? The little thing attached to it? No. You're talking about hobo. I did ride the rails for a time. Did you? Geez. Is that so? I'm just kidding. You never know, Greg. You've lived a colorful life. You know, my dad hitchhiked from Sudan to Europe.

What? Yeah. Like, just ferries and boats and trucks and stuff like that all the way through. Didn't even speak the language. If you take a ferry, is it hitchhiking? Can we put that on the poll? I mean... How do you hitchhike on a boat? I think it's possible. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Can you hitchhike on a boat at Levitard Show? Or can you hitchhike...

Not on a boat. It would be hitchhiking from boat to boat. Near a boat. In the ocean with your thumb up like, hey! Hey cruise ship! Stop! All right. You guys, though, this is the problem. Things are moving a little too fast. I think you guys all missed Greg Cody adding another catchphrase to his repertoire and you guys didn't even hear it. What was it?

A little dab will do you. Oh! Brill cream! He blew it in under his breath and nobody heard it because there were too many shots going off around here. And I don't even understand the context you were using it in because I've never heard you say that before. Right. Yeah, it's a popular phrase from back in the day. Brill cream, a little dab will do you. You know, in this case, you take a puff, the joints were passed around.

You have a powerful little devil, do you? Okay, you mentioned this already. How would that work? You just, like, the person gets in, and you're like, got any grass? I don't totally believe him all of a sudden. What? He's talking a big game. The story's got so few details that now I think he's just making up stories we can't verify that he hasn't hitchhiked. What do you mean a detail? What do you want? He's a nerd. Put it on the poll, Juju, at Levitard Show. Is hitchhiking kind of sad?

Dad, give us a detailed story of you picking someone up. They had weed to smoke. Any kind of story from 50 years ago. Wild, crazy, hitchhiking Greg Cody. All right, let me give you a bulletin here. When you pick up someone while hitchhiking...

The first thing you do is you don't get it. Could you give me your ID, please? Show me your driver's license because I got to make sure you're on the up and up before I give you a lift for two and a half miles. That's not the way it works, kid. It's just not the way it works. What do you say? Which way are you heading, stranger? Where to? Yeah, you know, that kind of thing. Is it just expected that whichever way you're heading, they go? Well, yeah. Yeah, you're not going to turn around. You're not going to say, hey.

Buddy, where can I take you? Where do you want to go? That'd be a jerk move. Yeah. I'm like, I'm actually heading the other way. I'm going on a straight line. If you want to come with me for a mile and a half, go ahead. I mean, why are you walking on that side of the road? Yeah, that's true. That's fair. If you're going in the other direction, you'd pick the other road. Yeah. I've never whipped a U-turn on behalf of someone I just picked up. So how do you... Is it awkward at the beginning when you're trying to see if they're carrying anything or you just flat out would ask them? It's, you know, it's... Implied? You don't pick somebody up unless you...

Read. Yeah. What's a good icebreaker for a hitchhiker? Grass, ass, or cash? There you go. Can you turn off that music, please? I've had enough of that music. Greg Cody has run out of material here. He's tired of being badgered. Look at him. He looks like he's been beaten down by this interrogation. He looks like Dylan Brunson in Game 6. You look tired. There were holes in the story. There were no holes in the story. I like him. I like him.

Don Levitard. Surely every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing that she married Larry David. I do, yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television, in my humble opinion. And to my credit...

My personality... In my humble opinion, followed by to my credit. To my credit. It's amazing. My personality does predate Curb Your Enthusiasm. Stugatz. Oh, wow. I'm not going to say Larry David patterned himself after me. All right, put it on the poll, please, Jude. You did, Greg Cody, copyright being an asshole long before Larry David. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz.

Billy, you saw Gronk on a scooter this weekend? I saw a video of Gronk on a scooter, but it was around this area. This would be a good... By the Arsh Center, I think. ...area for Gronk to be on a scooter. I meant to ask you guys this question. Can you look this up for me? There are

There's so many electric bikes right now in South Florida that there must be more hospitalizations than there have ever been in South Florida because so many people are getting around this way all over South Florida. Dan, earlier in the show, you were incredulous that a Toyota Corolla could carry a million dollars worth of gold bricks. I'm incredulous that a scooter could carry Gronk. How is it not scraping? Why are there not sparks coming out of the bottom of this thing? Oh my God, man.

And I think he hit the car that was doing a video of him with the joking, watch where you're going, asshole. Classic move. Classic move. As you can see, going in between lanes, possibly down the wrong side of the road. Again, none of this is safe. This is safe to the other people. This is not safe for anybody involved. She's cutting across an intersection. Gronk's fine.

As this video ends, he is just illegally cutting across an intersection. What'd you guys do? Jeez, what is with you guys and laws today? Do me the favor, please. Just do me the favor. Find for me whether electric bike hospitalizations are up. They must be. They have to be. I just... Because I...

I'm constantly hearing bikes that weren't meant to move that fast that are heavy moving at a high rate of speed, making a noise that makes them like vehicles that if you crash on them, you're going to break bones. Dan, I don't know if you know this, so in Santa Monica...

Hospitalizations did go up. They ended up having to ban these things. But it wasn't what you think. It wasn't because people were crashing. It's because the users would get done, and then they would splay them all over the sidewalk, and elderly people walking would trip over them. And so there was an increase in hospitalizations due to that, not because of people. I don't believe that story you're telling at all. No, I do. That is ridiculous. You're going to have to get it.

You're going to have to get out of here. No, no, get out of here. That story's not in any way true. Major penalty, five minutes, screwing comedy. You happy you're making this up? Why would he make that up?

That's a cheap ploy to get Greg Cody involved. He had to say elderly. You couldn't just say people were tripping over. You had to use the first elderly. Chris, give me some hospital numbers before I get to Billy here, because Billy did something that seemed really kind and began our work day today with applause. Billy got a hero's welcome today for coming in and bringing gifts with him.

Ebikes compared to traditional bicycles between 2017 and 2022. Injuries doubling annually and hospitalizations increasing by 43-fold between 2017 and 2022. I have no idea what 43-fold. I imagine that means 43 times. Gory. That's crazy, though. I'm looking and I'm seeing between 2020 and 2021, there was a massive spike in hospitalizations. Doesn't say for what, though. Could have been bug bites.

There were more scooters around back then. And then local governments had to rein it in. Billy, why did you get applause when you walked in today? You were beaming. You were radiant. I don't do things for applause, but I came in and I had a tray of some pastelitos that I wanted to come and bring my coworkers, my colleagues here, dare I say friends.

This morning for breakfast. Now, as you can see, it's still there. It seems like it was untouched, so I'm kind of regretting bringing that. It doesn't seem like anyone really wanted that. Look, I inhaled about three or four of them. I feel like every once in a while we get this type of thing where somebody brings a little something they had from their house. Yeah. Something from the weekend. And I feel like a lot of times it's just trying to clear shit out of your house, right? You have this in your kitchen and you're like, I'm never going to eat these. I've got to get rid of them. Just bring them to your office. All right.

I don't understand that. That's how the conversation happens. Good gesture. I don't think that you have to go and start questioning whether or not, you know, I had a party yesterday and I was left over, so I decided to bring them into the office. Look, here's the thing. Those could have gone to my wife's office. They came to this office. I'm not complaining. I do the same thing. She got the bocaditos. I do the same thing. Can I ask you a question about bocaditos? Yeah. Because...

I'm not a fan. That's why I didn't purchase it. I like Bocaditos, and I tried something for the first time at a birthday party on Friday. I think the Cuban finger food is elite. It's right up there with charcuterie in terms of best finger food. The Cuban Bocaditos, what's that paste in the middle of the two sweetbreads? It's magical. Bocaditos spread. Okay, so that's magical. Yeah, you could buy that. You could put that on anything. One thing that I had on Friday that I had never thought of doing before was putting a croqueta in between the slices. Wow.

It changed my life. Have you ever tried this? I never could even comprehend that this was a possibility. I separated the finger foods. Combining them, making a little croqueta sandwich. They're very small, the buns, though. It's perfect. You had to get the mini one. Yeah, but you get the mini croquetas that are also part of... When you have parties, they shrink the size of the croqueta. If you've never done this before and you're Cuban, try it.

It'll rock your world, and you'd be wondering, why haven't I tried this before? Well, you've just mentioned something that I can't believe that it was such a part of my cultural upbringing that I had sort of overlooked it without even thinking about it before right now, which is...

Oh, yeah. I'd put up Cuba's finger foods against every other cultures. I'd put it up and I'd go all in with Cuban finger foods, but I'd never considered. Yes, of course, they're magical and wonderful and everything else. I had just never considered that there would be...

that they would be that kind of elite. Like, who else is challenging Cuban finger foods? The French would probably say, like, our little finger food spreads are up there. The Italians might suggest it, even though they're very similar. Just cheese. How do we classify finger foods? Right. What do we consider? Are we talking

You're talking pigs in the blanket, mozzarella sticks? Is popcorn chicken a finger food? Who invented that? Even though mozzarella sticks are kind of Italian, I lump them in with American fare. And I would say the metal sand, as I have it, is who do we give credit to the charcuterie board? Let's say France. France, Cubans, Americans when it comes to finger food fare. But I'll go pigs in the blanket over a charcuterie board.

What well, but this is the thing though you have no you have no palate or taste for like fine cheeses, right? You wouldn't know what the difference between a $10 cheese is in an $80 cheese. I know cheese. Yeah, it's just the prosciutto and this these thin means just a little overrated It's fine once again, I did this with barbecue food. It's fine, but it gets celebrated like it's this next coming of Jesus It's just about a little fig jam. All right

All right. I need more culture here in the room. I need to know...

if we're, because I'm all of a sudden ready to rank Cuban finger foods as the finest of all the finger foods. And of course, charcuterie boards would rival that. But now if I'm asking third place, some culture that's vying for this particular distinction saying, no, ours are the finest of the finger foods. Because you guys just basically mentioned a bunch of Friday's appetizers is what you guys did. You guys just did like potato skins. What do we do with sushi?

That's a great question, but it's often a main course, more often a main course than you do use chopsticks. However, the way that sushi was intended to be eaten was with the fingers. No, but I think you guys are doing something here. Let's see if this is accurate. So finger foods.

Are all the foods that you eat with your fingers? Because I don't think of sushi. Then hot dog is one or pizza. I don't think of sushi as what it is that we're talking about. Sushi is a main dish. I'm talking about stuff that is never a main dish. We're talking about... Stuff that you can eat one at a time that is never a main dish. Or nerves.

Sushi, not a main dish. You don't think so? Sushi is basically the Japanese version of the appetizer sample. It's definitely a main dish. Yeah, I agree. So would you consider it an hors d'oeuvre? Yeah. All right, so then where do you place it? But you look at the menu. It's at the entree part of a menu when you go to a Japanese restaurant. That's because we've allowed it to get to this place. But by itself, you have to eat so much sushi to be like, I'm full. So you'd be the judge.

Finger food or not? Finger food, for sure. All right, then. Grab it. Then is it better than a charcuterie board or Cuban finger food? Oh, sushi's number one. Yeah? Oh, no, no. Better than mac and cheese. Charcuterie board. Number one seed, baby. This thing, like, obviously, by definition, it's anything conveniently eaten with your fingers.

I do want to get back to the previous accusation. Finger food. Wings are a finger food. Here's a finger food. Finger food, this is the test. Can I eat it and go, and then I'm pretty clean. If I can do that, that's a finger food. If I was like, oh, I got sauce and stuff. But it can't be sweet. I like where you're going there. Sushi has sauces. But for the most part, you're not, your hands aren't, like, if you have a couple pieces of sushi, you can get away without. You don't eat sushi with your hands. I've done it. That's the way that it was intended. Pick it up, pop it in.

You're good. That's all you got to do. You pick it up. You pop it in. You pick it up. Dip it in the spicy mayo. I thought you pack it up, pack it in. Let me begin. But then you're done. That's the test. Let me begin. If it's a finger food. Good timing. Craig's right. Craig. Nailed it. Let me Martin. Battle me? That's a sin. What are you talking about? Let's go.

Hey, Greg, what'd you come to do? Jump around. Billy, the accusation was made on air and off because it came through my headset long before it was said here. Billy's pastelitos are dot, dot, dot from this weekend's party. And

And so, for some reason, when you were getting applause, I didn't think anybody saw that as anything other than a nice gesture. Billy brought in food, but what Billy brought in was he's cleaning out his fridge. No, it brought over. That's fine with me. I brought you guys food. I mean, I don't understand the problem here. It was nice. It's a two birds with one stone situation. You were able to declutter your house and do a nice thing for us. It was from yesterday, and so...

I mean, you assume when you go to the bakery they make them that day. You have no way of knowing. That's super nice. That's considerate. Making sure nothing goes to waste, too. It looks like they're going to waste, to be perfectly honest. They haven't been very popular. They're not super fresh. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure you ate your time. If Gene Mason must not know, yeah, that they're there. Roy will put some in his pockets, but you did. Not an easy food to steal, by the way. It's not. Very flaky. A lot of flakes. The crime scene is littered with an assortment of crumbs.

those those worst culprits than most but not a lot of people have eaten and i saw you eating too are you the only one who has eaten this gift you have now brought in that no one has had any of except for you it seems like i brought them for myself but i can't eat all of those so they'll stay there i mean they'll be there tomorrow i don't mean to sound ungrateful about it wait i'm just checking am i the only person that did the bocadito with the croquette in the middle

Ever? Like no one here has that experience, right? How is this possible? We're all Cubans. We've been to countless parties where this Cuban finger food has been around. And we've never thought to combine the finger foods. Have Greg Cody and his son, are you guys, let me see here. When I look at how different both kinds of South Florida are and Panthers South Florida and Dade County South Florida.

If we had a contest right now between the Codys where I asked you to name Cuban finger foods and you went back and forth, would you guys lose quickly because none of the local culture has ever reached you? So you guys choose charcuterie board because you can't name four Cuban finger foods? Like if I went back and forth with you two, do you have enough Hispanic influence in your life to be able to play this game?

I think I could play it poorly. I'm not a fan of, this is blasphemy, I'm not a huge fan of Cuban food. I love Cuban food. It probably ranks 10th on my list of cuisine. Who are the nine cuisines that are higher than Cuban food? Get this guy a steak and panisado, please. Thank you. You think there are a lot of finger foods better than the croqueta? I don't like croquetas.

The pastelito I loved. I thought that was just great. That's a flaky, flaky pastry. That is a finger food. It's magnificent. It applies to the definition and it's part of like, hey, just went to this bakery. We're having a birthday party. That's out on the tray. You can get smaller ones. I think croquette is one of the most overrated foods. This is insulting. No, I do. I can mess with a tequeno. Look, I can't look at my friend this way anymore. Papa Diana? I can't look at you this way. The truth hurts. No.

No, this is, I mean, this is blasphemy. Is it like overrated? No, I just... Can I tell you? It's like a cheese stick. I mean, what's wrong with that? Masa de puerco. Like, I don't believe that you know Cuban food. I believe that this is ignorance. No. To Kenya's Venezuelan, I think. I love the costilla de puerco. Yeah. You know, I get a couple of those whenever I go to my favorite restaurant that serves them. And it's great. We, you know, it's...

Pork chops, mojo. I made a mojo dish the other day. I don't know whether that's a Cuban thing or not. Okay, that's good. That's a good way to talk about Cuban food is to not know what culture you're making. Pastelitos de carne. Is mojo a Cuban thing? Maybe if we found a country of origin, it's not Cuban and that would be shocking. It could be Spain. That would be shocking because Cubans use mojo for a lot. We love mojo. Arroz con leche.

Mojo Rawley. Please stop doing that. Don't do that anymore. Thank you. Mojo Rawley? Yes, Billy's just doing whatever he wants to over there. A little bit of Wild Willie Wednesday sneaking into our Monday. Greg loves a Cuba Libre. Right, Greg? Cuba Libre. Absolutely. Yeah. Poglin's Law. Let's play the game. Go ahead, Chris. You go one time. Give me a finger food that's Cuban. Oh, my God. Croqueta. Pastelito. Pokedito.

Coste de Franco. You're cheating by using only two you've known so far. Chicharron. Oh, man. Let me think, though.

You've lived here all your life. I know. I don't prefer that kind of food. I'm sorry. It's because you don't know it is what I would argue clearly. And why wouldn't I know it? Because if I loved it, would I know it? No, you've never tried it. You're not somebody who you're not. You don't. You can't name. I'm asking you to name foods. In his defense, there's like three of them. Trosso de yuca.

Your son could go forever. Your son has had a lot of... Papa Reina. Perhaps he loves Cuban food more than I do. Well, he loves all food. Platano Maduro. I like how he grabs onto the desk to support. That's not a finger food. He's scared. It's too slimy. Yes, it is. It can be. Chris, you can't do that. It's not a finger food. What kind of rule is this? That's too sticky. That's a great rule. It's a made-up rule. That's a great rule. Papa Fritas.

Wings are a finger food. French fries are not Cuban. Chicken wing is a finger food. But you can't do that with a wing. That's what I'm saying. I don't like the rule. You get a sauce up wing, you got to lick your fingers. They got to give you a moist towelette. It's not a finger food. King wing.

By the way, I like plantain chips with the garlic sauce. Does that count? Yeah, that's mojo. All right. Mojo. Chris's turn. It's mojo. It's the thing that you were talking about. On the rare occasion when I go to a Cuban restaurant, their plantain chips are served with... The mariquitas. Yes. It's more of a garlicky sauce than it is mojo. Every time I look over there, Chris, you might as well be dressed like a flamenco dancer. Every time I...

here you just hit me with more and more Spanish when I don't know who's feeding you that. Atlanta. See how he's grabbing a desk. But he's

I see that his sphincter is dying because he's not confident doing comedy in Spanish. Enpinada. Roy, give me, after three hours of chewing that gum, give me as much Connor McDavid analysis as you possibly can, please. I can't right now. My mouth hurts. I'm sorry.

You look like you have grills made out of bubble gum. I'm pole warm right now. Your jaw is going to hurt, yes? It already does. Your jaw will hurt tomorrow, and it will be. But so you can't give me spoken analysis. You're just trying to get to the end of the show because this gum hasn't gotten any smaller while you chew it for three hours? That is correct.

These punishments are always worse than you think they are. Congratulations on doing it, by the way. Chris Cody weaseled his way. He didn't actually complete it. You took on his penalty because Chris Cody failed to get to the end of it because he said it was too much. So congratulations on being less of a coward than he is. Thank you, Dan. Arroz empareado. That's not good. That would have been good if your ass hadn't gotten tight. But your ass got tight because you got scared, and so you're going to have to leave.

Minor penalty, two minutes, asshole. I wanted to ask you guys something that I forgot to ask you during the local hour when we were talking about how quickly architecture can change in the modern age of, you know, you're doing finger food, this, this, this. But, oh, Celtics? Okay, going to wrap that up. How do the Knicks do it?

I was a little surprised, perhaps I should not have been, that what was for a bright flash across the sky, somehow the most exciting time in Dolphin football in 25 years,

to sort of casually learn, oh, Jonu Smith and Jalen Ramsey, that's both going to be casualties that whatever you were trying to do with those guys, they're probably not going to be around to do whatever the rest of that is. And so a very quick time in Dolphins football,

turns around with two players you know were good and successful here that you better not have gotten too attached to. And by the way, great run by Jalen Ramsey. Like they got a lot of good football out of him long past what would or should be the prime for somebody at that position. But I was just curious what you guys thought of two name productive players during what

has been the most exciting time in dolphin football in 25 years are now going to be gone soon and they and they won you nothing and you wasted their time and you wasted your money and nothing uh positive happened in terms of winning meaningful winning yeah that that dolphin uh the the heydays of the dolphins uh didn't last long it it took about a minute and a half

Back two years ago it was, when they scored 70 points against Denver. And the offense with Tyreek Hill is the talk of the league. Mike McDaniel wears the Genius hat for a year. Now, the over-under on wins is like eight. They play 17 games.

They're going to struggle to be a 500 team, let alone make the playoff. What happened? Part of it is that Tua can't stay healthy and misses a lot of games. But with Jonu Smith and Jalen Ramsey, both are older players.

It's almost as if they're in a rebuild. You know, without ever having gotten anywhere, they're like starting over again. And with the same GM in charge. Right. I mean... You can't do seven years of... You can't be back at rebuild. McDaniel and Chris Greer are

coaching and general managing for their jobs this year. There's no question about that. There's going to be huge turnover if they fail this season. John, who's on a very team-friendly deal. Now, he does have value because it's only $4.8 million. He doesn't really eat into their cap. If they were truly rebuilding, why is Tyreek Hill not

long gone what what are they going to do with their wide receivers they have a lot of big contracts on their books i think this is the result of them having to pay tua and you're gonna have to say goodbye to some guys that were productive you don't often have to say goodbye to guys that are on good contracts the way that john new is i know that john who behind the scenes has been asking for a new contract to reflect his season last year which was a very good season

And but the reality is Tyree Kill isn't worth what he was two years ago. And the Marlins are finding this out with Sandy Alcantara, whose era was eight last time I looked. They're trying to trade him. The market has plummeted. Tyree Kill, I don't know what they're going to get for him if they trade him. And there is that speculation that he could be gone. But what are you going to get for Tyree Kill?

A third-round pick? A third and a seventh? I mean, he's worth more to you than he is in trade right now, which wouldn't have been the case two years ago. I can't be friends with Greg Cody if he thinks croquetas are overrated. I can't be. I can't be. No, I can't be. I can't be. Pan con pinga.

Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. Now, if you've been listening to the show a lot lately, you've heard so much playoff talk. Playoff hoops down here in South Florida were especially enamored with playoff hockey. It's not just limited to the playoffs. Motorsports, tennis, golf. It's truly one of the best times in the sporting calendar. And with the weather outside warming up,

It's just perfect to hop in a pool, maybe grill up some food, but most certainly crack open some Miller Lights. I just described a pretty perfect day, didn't I? And it culminates with Miller time. There is something about a perfect grilling day. The sun's out, friends show up, and that first sip of Miller Light just hits different. I've been stocking up the cooler with it for years. This year, Miller Light turns 50.

That is five decades of cookouts, laughs, and ice-cold moments that never miss. And if you've listened to the show for its 20-year existence, you know this to be true. Miller Lite.
