Call 1-800-GRANGER, click granger.com, or just stop by. Granger, for the ones who get it done. I want to circle back to something that we touched on earlier in the show, and it's the joy that one gets when a major news story breaks, and you're like the first one, and you feel like, I feel like other people don't know this yet. And it's like, who am I going to text? Usually the way I do it is I form my sentence. In this case, it was,

Joe Biden has stepped down and he chose Kamala as his replacement. And I thought, I got that sentence formed out. I get scared. You did it better. Did you send that out? You directed that. You get scared of Kamala's name? Is that what it is? I just...

We had a whole meeting before the show about the right way to say it. And once we started saying it both ways, I was like, wait, which way is the right way? Good news is you said it right. Bad news is you made Joe Biden a woman. Well, so I rise to our...

So I wrote out the text, Joe Biden is out. I didn't even involve Kamala. That's the part about this. I felt so awkward about it that I felt like I needed to insert it. Did you spell his name out the way you put it on the board? Leave him alone. That was Biden. Like Biden.

Joe Biden. You like the internet, huh? You wanted badly to deliver the news to your family that Biden was out. Did Shams break the news? No. Who didn't break it? No, but a lot of people learned from Shams because they have Shams on mobile alerts because we love sports. But the timing of it doesn't work out. I think he went there four minutes after the actual news came out. Biden did it in a tweet, correct?

Biden announced it. So strange. In memo form. But did you guys do what I did? Did you take the news and it's like, who can I tell this to? Because this is a big story and people are going to freak out. And I just got joy, even though, like, as I pointed out earlier in the show, I don't really care about politics that much. I know that makes me a jerk. But I just felt like I wanted to share this news because it was juicy. I kind of felt like I was late to it because it happened while I was in a movie theater. So I came out to a whole new world.

You announcing that as a cow must have been incredible. GUYS! Um, I am honestly stupefied.

By everything that's happening around here and the speed with which it is happening. Chris Cody, your zeal in wanting to sit out politics except to be the person who informs your mother. Just facts. I got the Shams information before you did, mom, because you're a lawyer living life and I'm super connected to sports at every moment. My mom also, huge Biden guy. I wanted to needle her with that a little bit.

We do that too. Like in sports, do we do this in politics like we do in sports? Like, you know, like when your team, like if something bad happens to the Braves, I'm going to text my Braves friend and tell him. When the Biden thing came out, I was like, who's my mom? This feels like a funny, playful time for you guys to have the Cody's over on that. It's like sports to me. It's like, oh, we've got to have a banter.

Who can I needle about this? It's the one thing that brings everything together is banter. That and our hate for weather forecasters. Can you get me the impersonation that your father's coming tomorrow to rescue the show, heroically rescue the show that Stugatz has left in an avalanche of his perpetual lies?

Your father is coming in with a Biden impersonation. It's a phone call. I mean, my dad didn't do this. Joe Biden left a voicemail for my dad. I have it here if you want to hear it. We can just play a little snippet from my phone. Okay, but how do you feel about it? Because he's been asking me to promote this on the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. And I think the response is what Billy's is, which is to hold the side of his face in some form of pain because your father...

Well, I think it's more just people should be amazed that with everything going on with Joe Biden, he had time this weekend to give his friend Greg Cody a call. Wow. And like, I think we should listen to it. Hey, GC. It's Joe. It's been a long while since I've reached out to you. Listen, you may have heard things aren't going real well with the campaign right now. Trump got shot in the ear and it's working for him.

This is the dad.

See, he just says Grant. We'll cut it off there. You can listen to the rest on the Greg Cody show. No! Why would we want to listen to any of it? What a team. I felt like Pam getting an MRI. Can you believe that he had time to call my dad? The week he's had? Greg Cody will heroically come and rescue the show tomorrow and maybe multiple times this week from the battering it is taking at the hands of Stugatz. Jeremy, you did something today and we had no time to get to it.

We ran out of conversation. We ran out of space. What is it that you prepared for the show that we weren't able to get to? I'm just excited about the way Gen Z is reacting to the Kamala Harris news because it's

As I mentioned earlier in the show, the you think you fell out of a coconut tree is a quote from Kamala that has been going sort of viral. And so on TikTok, this is the way, Chris, if you want to pot up the sound here, this is the way that Gen Z is reacting during Brat Summer, Charlie XCX to what's happening here with Kamala Harris. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

I'm telling you, meme culture is going to win this election for the Democrats. No one in this room understands what's happening here. Charlie XCX has Brat Summer going right now, and it's like an incredibly trendy thing on social media, especially with Gen Z women. Brat is good. Brat is a good thing. Okay. Brat is a good thing. You're having a Brat Summer. It's fun. It's a party. She tweeted out last night, Kamala is brat. And they're also remixing that quote with

Akesha song and the deep breath that's happening there. I think we have that video as well that we could play here. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? Dance.

I'm telling you, the reason that Donald Trump won the election is because everybody on the internet thought he was funny, even though he was, you know, courting Nazis. And so in this case, you have a very meme-able president. Finally, we were bored by Joe Biden. Gen Z's going to love the memes. I'm telling you, this is the only way. This is the only way. You got to run that stuff as actual ad breaks during like NFL games when Taylor Swift's over it. That's why Trump won the election. Yeah, you know, and the whole Nazi thing.

Well, hopefully it wasn't because he was running against a woman because that spells bad news. Also, a total side note and completely unrelated. I'm hijacking this and saying this here. I mentioned Camp Fiesta, which is happening next week on Mystery Crate this past week. And over $700 in donations came in from fans of the show. I am like so beyond touched by the fact that

people were willing to give to this cause. For those of you who don't know what it is or don't remember what it is from last year, Camp Fiesta is a nine-day sleepaway summer camp for children with cancer that my family has been a part of. For the last 39 years, it's year 40 next year, we unfortunately had to spend a lot

extra on our budget this year because the place that we normally stay is now under construction and we had to find a hotel. So all of these funds are incredibly appreciated. The fans of the show are amazing. I'm so touched by someone who even reached out to say, hey, can I sponsor an entire campers trip next year? So if you're interested in donating to that cause where we know it will go directly to camp, it's campfiesta.com slash donate. Thank you guys so much. I am uncomfortable.

saying anything other than how did that become a thank you speech? Brat summer, baby. I can't say anything else, right? I have to just stay over here and just say thank you. Yeah, I made it awkward. I mean, yeah. Chris told me to get in whenever I wanted. Did he? Did he? Yeah, he's a good EP. Is he? Is he?

Summer's the best time to run the way you want. Dial it up with new challenges and programs and bring your workouts with you to make the most of outside sunny days. Stugatz, guess what? What? You know what you can do with Peloton? What? Get the app, go outside, ride a bike. Well, I thought you ride Peloton inside. Well, you do, you can ride Peloton inside if it's a rainy day or if it's cloudy or you just don't want to get outside, maybe it's too hot.

summertime, go outside. I record a lot from my office with you and you've noticed it's sitting there yet. It hasn't been used. Well, now's the time. Summer's the best time to start that push. Right. Can we do it together? Not on the same bike, but we could join a class together. I used to do that. We used to have Guillermo Tan. I'd invite people. We'd all take a class together. Okay. So I think you're starting to get concerned about my health and my age, Billy. I,

I sense that with you. We're beyond starting. Okay. Whatever road lies ahead, your training starts here with Peloton Tread and Tread Plus. It's not just a bike, a treadmill too. I'm going to go outside. I'm going to get in shape. I'm going to do it with Billy Gill. I want to be in your class. I want you to be my instructor. You know what? I won't be your instructor. You don't want to spend more time with me. No, I can schedule a class and we can ride together.

I won't be the instructor of the class. We can have Camila could be our instructor. I like the Grateful Dead class. My daughter, she uses the Peloton. She was on it once and an instructor who was playing Grateful Dead tunes. Let's do that. Okay. Why don't we go for a run outside? Guided run. Peloton. Me and you. That's something we can do together. Okay. Turn on the app. Me and you go outside. Enjoy the summer. Call yourself a runner with Peloton at onepeloton.com slash running. All right.
