主持人: 我一直不明白为什么Greg Cody从未告诉过我关于独眼麦克的事情。作为一个内容创作者家庭,他们竟然没有意识到独眼麦克会是一个很好的内容素材,这让我感到非常惊讶。我甚至开始觉得Cody一家可能不了解基本的人情世故,比如Greg Cody脚下有纸巾却不扔进垃圾桶。这让我觉得他们可能缺乏一些基本的生活常识和对内容的敏感度,错失了一个很好的创作机会。 Greg Cody: 澄清一下,麦克是我的姐夫,不是我的叔叔。他小时候因为瓶子爆炸失去了一只眼睛。当我认识他的时候,他只是一个普通人。当然,独眼的人也是普通人。失去一只眼睛是很不幸的,但这并不影响他成为一个正常的人。我并没有觉得他的独眼有什么特别值得拿出来说的,所以一直没有告诉大家。

Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. 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 if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.

I don't know how I go the entirety of my life without Greg Cody ever telling me about one-eyed Mike. That he's got an uncle one-eyed Mike.

I just don't know how that happens. I don't know how that's something I learn on the air. I don't know how people in the content business, a family of content providers, don't realize that one-eyed Mike would have been a fountain, that both of you are oblivious to it. But I'm convinced more and more that the Codys don't know basic human things. For example, for example.

There are tissues on the floor at Greg Cody's feet. There are garbage cans in here. Yeah. I threw them away during the break. But they're on the floor. But if you were to get up and walk past you to throw it away in the garbage can during a segment, you'd probably not be happy. Yeah. See, he wants it both ways. This guy. By the way, Mike was my brother-in-law, not my uncle. And he...

lost an eye as a child and so by the time I met and married Earline I knew Mike only as a regular guy I didn't know him as a one-eyed as somebody who had lost an eye as a ute well I mean people with one eye are regular people too just to be clear of course they are how'd he lose the eye um

A bottle exploded or something? It was... Right. No, the story was told it was a cork that went off in his eye. Okay, the cork. A champagne bottle went off in his eye. Okay, it could be. I don't know why a child would be opening a champagne bottle. I was wondering that, too. Yeah. Yeah.

Weird set as a child. Again, though, the thing that had escaped our attention somehow from a family of content providers is not only that there was a one-eyed Mike, but that that one-eyed Mike had different color eyes because one of the glass eyes was not the same color as his other eye. And a three-legged dog. As you mentioned, yes. Moving on to

other subjects. I've still got this conflict in the room where Tony wants his video to play and is getting increasingly mad at Kugler. Kugler, the producer of South Beach Sessions, has Ross Gold on Wude is going to join us here in about 20 minutes. He's got a game idea for her. He's kind of trying to elbow Tony out of the way, I feel like, in terms of climbing up the producer hierarchy here, doing the same thing Billy's done to undermine Tony. Oh boy.

He can have the producer spot. I don't really care about that. I'm doing my own thing over here. If he wants to climb the producer ship, he can do it. Great for him. He's got great games. Yeah, we could play a game with Ross. That's going to be amazing. She's going to love that. The last one went so well. Remember Gold or what was the other thing? Gold, Silver, or Bronze? No, no, no. Gold or Good was the last time we played with her, which was another Kugler staple. She didn't understand the game. She was like, is it Gold or is it Good? And then we're like, oh, we don't know. So just to be 100% clear, Tony and Kugler are at the same hierarchy, like same level? Trust me, we're not.

No, all that Dan wants is for them to fight. Yeah. Why? I want. I could fight him. This is how he does it, Billy. You want me to go out and kick his ass, Dan? What do you want? He just wants them to fight. No. I would like Tony in a fight. Thank you. Okay. I don't want. He ducked that other guy. That other guy ducked me. I was there. He wasn't. You mean. Okay. Well, you showed him too much. By the way, a lot is coming from a lot of guys that would not step into the octagon to do anything. You stepped into the octagon to not do anything. Oh, I did nothing. Okay.

That's what the report was earlier today. He didn't spar. Not my fault. I was there. He went to town on that weight bag. So this is part of the problem and the tension that I have here. The standard. You're reading this, by the way, just so you know. You're creating this situation. Dan would never do that. I love Tony. I don't care if he sparred or not. I don't care what he did. I just love Tony. I'm glad he didn't, honestly. When I heard he was going to create content, he was going to fight a UFC fighter, I said, oh my God, not my part.

Poor Tony. What if he gets hurt? I would never want that to happen to him. Tony looked like a natural from the clips that I saw. Anybody else would have embarrassed themselves. You and your old gates. Go on, Dan.

Did he just hit the three of us? He did. Instead of the word walking gates, G-A-I-T-S as an insult, as a trash talking insult. He did. Okay, so I don't want to make fun of this part. I do want to make fun of Billy saying, Dan, you created this. When you say you created this, if by this you mean Metal Ark Media, yes. And Metal Ark Media, a company of creatives who can be very passive, will

will sit in a meeting when I ask for a video from Vegas and wonder if it's good enough and no one speaks up. Is it good enough and no one speaks up? Is it good enough and no one speaks up? And then Coogler yells, you can air it and that's my content problem. That's speaking up though. He spoke up but no one laid between the lines. He did speak up and he's saying not to air it and

That would insult Tony. Tony doesn't believe that Coogler's got a higher standard than Tony does. But You Can Air It was not an endorsement. And we were a passive organization just going to throw it on air without comment. Yeah, I created this. Yeah. Yep. That's why I'm a bad leader. Yep. Yep.

You Can Air It shouldn't be a content company standard. You think that's what they're doing on late night? I will fight Coogler who is no longer on late night. We can set up a late night pay-per-view where I kick his ass. Dan, is that what you want? Yes, that's what he wants. He's been very clear that's what he wants. Him and his old gait.

Here's the issue. You created this. Employees threatening each other. You asked, is it good enough? I said, yes. Yes. You asked again, is it good enough? I said, yes. You asked, is it good enough? And Cooler said, you can air it. Yeah. That's exactly how he sounds. Dan, what do you want me to say? I've heard his voice. How many more times do you want me to say yes? Fight him. Fight him.

See, you're strutting like Ric Flair. You're so happy that this is going on. Air the video. I want to see the video. Air the video. One guy's threatening to fight another guy. I'm just saying because the boss is saying fight him. The payoff is we watch a video that sounded incomplete. He said fight him and make him quick. The other thing that he said is there's no payoff.

Well, Tony said this was a long play. This is a long game, boys. I think the design is another Vegas playoff. Payoffs coming, Dan. International Fight Week 26. Even his friends get to go to Vegas. Really? You can go. There's roller coasters there. Really? Wow. Right off. But I got to charge the fee, yeah.

theme park journalist. Can I kick his ass? Me? What do I have to do with this? Billy's defending you here. Yeah, I said. I was worried about you. I wanted you to not fight because I didn't want you to hurt me. On the hierarchy of people that wanted me to get my ass kicked, my wife was number one. Billy was right there. Right there, even. If not, maybe more so because your wife knows you a little bit better than I do and I'm sure she has those things. Kugler's third, though. He talks a lot of shit. That's fine.

We can kick his ass if you want. Okay, I don't believe that is a problem-solving measure that we're going to resort to here. I don't believe that the kicking of ass is something that you have delivered on when you promised us that that's the video we were getting of you kicking the ass of an MMA fighter who you were sparring with. But the thing that I wanted to put in front of the group here, because we do have a number of different personalities here,

And I was thinking about this the other day. I believe that this is the most Latin show in the history of the American sports media. This right here is the most Latin show. Latin American. Jorge Ramos and Subando is pretty Hispanic. The entire band. They were all there. In the history of the American sports media. They're American. I don't know. Let's check again. Check the papers.

Whoa. Whoa. Geez. That was harsh. On today of all days. Alligator Alcatraz is still being tamed. It's a theme park. You can cover it. Your first assignment. Right on. Your first assignment. Alligator Alcatraz. First Metal Ark assignment. I don't think that's a theme park. It is a theme. That's how that works. It sure isn't. They got everything. Gators.

Can I give a PSA for people? This is the opposite of what you would do as someone who wants tourists to come. If you're a tourist coming to Miami, don't bother going to the Everglades. Giant waste of time. It's boring. Sunburn. Disagree. Mosquito bites. Disagree on all counts. You maybe get bit by an alligator. You go on an airboat. That's fun for a little bit. But then you're like, okay, how much sawgrass do I need to see? This is ridiculous. Billy, I'm right there with you. Don't bother. It's the worst of the national parks. It is.

Easily. We got no topography. Yeah.

I disagree. Where are the Redwoods at? You know what I mean? I disagree. Where are the mountains at? Yeah, those airboats are too loud as well. I know. You have to put in earplugs. It's great if you want to, and we love it and all that, but don't bother. It's a waste of a day. You're going to be out there. The place that I was headed, I disagree on all counts, but I don't want to turn this into a marshland critique show. So I want to head back to where I was. I was headed on Tony because...

Tony, I have come to realize, because his dad was Stugatz, Latin style, that Tony has a perpetual hustle going as the most Latin of Latin hustlers that we have in here.

And when Tony came in and I asked about the video and he immediately said, it's the long play, Dan. I knew there had been no sparring. I knew there had been, yeah, long play, Dano. Send me back to Vegas so I can make more videos of not sparring with guys I promised to spar with. Well, here's the thing, right?

So you have the start. And Stugatz knows. You have the long game, right? You got the long con, long game. You can't deliver on the first video. No. Unless your chances are limited. That's what you say when you don't deliver on the first. Exactly. But what do we do now? You said you would deliver on it. But if you go into it with a long play in mind, why deliver in the first five, ten minutes? This is textbook, though. Look at the demand to see this video already.

It's palpable. And you guys want to see this fight now. He's just learning from Jake Paul. The public appetite to see this fight now between Tony and this chicken shit has grown exponentially. So we're looking at the first video of maybe a series of three or four videos, right? Four. We get ready. Not.

me going to Vegas. Well, there's a rematch. Exactly. So we've got... There needs to be a match for a rematch. We've got the initial video getting ready, right? And now we've got the secondary video getting ready with maybe another UFC legend who's maybe local, right? So he teaches me his ways. And then it culminates with the fight between me and Bad Tavares who has...

Tied Michael Bisping for the most wins in the middleweight division in UFC history. And as you see this video, you're going to see he's basically like The Rock, but instead of 6'5", being like 6 foot. Wow. So there's appetite for what can happen in the next three videos. Say less.

I mean it. Well, but don't make less because... I'm not making less. I'm making more. He's making more. I'm making more. You want less? I want more. It's a long play. The play seems to be on you, but it's a long play. Make it longer. Make it a 10-part series. He has to go train in the Philippines next. Yeah. Put it in the... There's theme parks there. Put it on the pole. Really?

Does there need to be a match in order for there to be a rematch at Levitard? That's video three and four right there. We will get to this video in a moment, but Cody, do you have a ruling on this? Because at this point we have to play the video, but it doesn't have the strongest endorsement from Kugler, who has created a game that he feels like will save this hour in the event that Tony nukes the hour with his video. That doesn't have a payoff, according to Kugler. Right. I do have a ruling.

My ruling is that we play the video with the understanding that Tony will develop thick skin because he will be subject, I suspect, to sort of an unkind post-mortem to the video play. Possibly. It seems as though the implication is Tony does not have thick skin, which I feel like he's displayed nothing but thick skin thus far today. Thank you. Alligator skin, some are saying. Yeah.

Phyllis tries? I have found Tony to be generally a Latino male defensive in the places where the largest insecurities reside. Covered in armor. Which is where? He's saying you have a little dick. Prove him wrong.

That's in video three. I can vouch for Tony. Thank you, Stu. Also, we start measuring to see who gets in the octagon. We'll measure and we'll see what it is. What is that statement? I'm never getting in. I am never getting in. Guys that don't want to step into the octagon are saying that you did something...

Like, go and do it then. But you let the guy leave. He was there. Why didn't you fight? He left on his own. Can I ask you something? Whose fault is it? You went with a group of people who were supposed to coordinate this fight. Right. He was there. Right. And you were there. Right. And he got out somehow.

How did that happen? He showed up to do it, and then he left. I'm working on the bags with Coach Eric Nixick. I'm not looking to say, like, hey. But when he's there, shoot with him, and then shoot out of order and do the other thing after. Billy, did you see the videos, though? No. Tony looks good, man. I saw online he looked a little tired, if I'm going to be honest. Yeah, he was tired from training. He looked a little tired. I think that it would be a coach Eric. Maybe two rounds. Lewis was dead. I've taken bigger craps than Lewis, honestly.

I don't believe you. What a great insult, man. I've taken bigger craps than Lewis. Respectfully. All right, wait a minute. I mean, that's more complimentary to my craps than it is, you know, like an insult to him. I would like to see that crap. He's not the biggest guy. Holy crap. That's video four. Thank you, Greg. Thank you. Greg's right. Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show.

Is it okay to say you've taken bigger craps than someone if you add the word respectfully? Because I realized as I was saying it, it wasn't coming out as I intended. It was more to be complimentary towards my crap than diminutive to Lewis. That's not true at all. You know what? If you say respectfully, you're about to disrespect someone. Well, I did it afterwards, yeah.

Minor penalty, two minutes for lying. Lewis. Me? You. Really? Not Lewis? I'm not putting Lewis out. I want to play the video, though, Lewis, please, because I do believe that people underestimate...

what combat sports are all the time. No, I don't want you anymore. It doesn't matter. Someone has to play the video. I got to turn this out. I mean, kid is sick. It's okay. I don't need you. It's okay. I don't need you. Two minutes for lying. He's being penalized for taking a gigantic crap.

It's not fair. Not that gigantic. Some think that's the penalty. Imagine the pain I was in for that to happen. It was a crime scene. I'd like to see a photograph of that. Would you? I mean, I would. If there was a crab the size of Lewis, I'd like to see it too. I'm trying to imagine it. You know, call up Guinness, put it in the world record, that one. It would appear that Shingilis Alexander has signed a $285 million extension. Wow.

I mean, now hosting the ESPYs, winning the NBA championship. What a summer for this young man. So what I was saying, Stugatz, is that people underestimate all the time how strong these human beings are and these mixed martial artists, how technically sound they are. So there is someone on...

social media. He hosts a popular podcast. The name escapes me. But he has been challenging UFC fighters saying I'm 260. His argument is always I'm 260. I got muscles. I've got 260. And the UFC community did it to

Nate Diaz first, I think. And everyone's laughing at him saying, no, you don't understand that Mighty Mouse at 125 would take you out. Why are you saying that 260 is some special thing because you weighed 260? Sean Strickland here, uh,

This guy is going up against a 300-pound football player, an offensive lineman. He is much smaller than the offensive lineman. And people think that size advantages are much of a distinction here between sports when combat sports are fighting. The reason they have weight class is because people of similar skill have to be of similar weight. But Sean Strickland is going to be as strong as a UF, as a, as a,

NFL lineman. An NFL lineman is going to try to be strong with him and isn't going to have the skill set necessary to do anything with someone who is 60 pounds lighter than he is. And look at Tony grinning maniacally over there. Good scramble from Strickland there. You saw him flip him. Hung in there. That's a guy who's like 275 pounds just threw him over. It matters in a fight, dude. In a fight, it matters unless you have somebody who is skilled at fighting and someone who's not. What?

I'm saying a 260-pound strong guy doesn't have a chance if he's not technically sound as a fighter. If he's not a trained fighter. If he's not dedicated his life to the craft of it. You're going top of the heap with Mighty Mouse. Yeah.

Like one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. Uriah Faber, I think Tony's got a shot. The guy you're talking about, Dan, is Bradley Martin. That's the guy who's 260, shredded, and says, I'll beat you up, it doesn't matter. But in the sweet sciences, in mixed martial arts, you have a guy like Mighty Mouse who's a

like multi-level Brazilian black belt, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. And it's like, it doesn't matter if you're 260, he's going to put you in some sort of pretzel. Well, that stands point. And you're not going to know. I understand why it is that people thought that Bob Sapp in Japan a million years ago, he had a great deal of popularity because he'd be 350 pounds overinflated and then he'd go in there and he'd lose to everybody.

He also became one of the biggest stars in Asia. That's correct. Because he was just bigger than everybody and he beat a lot of people. Did he wear shoes in the Octagon again? Yeah, that's what they did down there in K1.

I didn't hear the audio in the penalty box, but I saw the Tony video. My God, he looks enormous. Thank you. Yeah, Tony looks good in this. No, like fat. Like I saw the two fat guys fighting. Tony looks terrible. So wait, Mike. Right now, you guys just played it. Tony was in there and he was sparring with some guy or whatever. Yeah, he's a heavyweight. That's what Frank Muir looks like. He's got handles, but he can beat Brock Lesnar. Yeah, he looks terrible. Handles? Did someone say handles?

Do you want to do all-time handles tier? Ooh, I like that. Bob Sapp, by the way, was 24 and 39 for his career. What's up, guys? Tony here, and I wanted to talk about something super important, and that's how I keep my home protected. Obviously, you guys know I have a little one back at home. My wife is there with her, and I get tremendous peace of mind knowing that the moment I leave

for work that my home, my property, my family is protected, not just reactively, but proactively by Simply Safe. They are the number one for home security on the planet, on the market. There's nobody better than Simply Safe. I got the cameras going on. I got indoor cameras. I got outdoor cameras. I'm looking all over the place. Most security systems only take action after somebody breaks in.

But you and I know that's too late, especially when you have a little one at home and when you have your wife at home and the big dog's not there, right? SimpliSafe's new ActiveGuard Outdoor Protection helps stop break-ins before they happen. AI-powered cameras, live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity,

around the property. If somebody's lurking, agents talk to them in real time, turn on spotlights, and can call the police proactively deterring crime before it starts. Everything's on the app. I want to see the cameras. Boom. I see who's walking their dog a little too close to my yard, maybe leaving some dog residue close to my yard. I can go on the microphone and say, buddy, clean up after your dog. Over 4 million Americans trust SimpliSafe and so do

There's no safe like SimpliSafe.

Don Levitard. I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public. Stugatz. Don't do it. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz. Stugatz.

And he handles the stairs. Begins and ends with Pistol Pete Meredith. Ooh, that's a good one. All right. Put it off to the side for a second. Let's watch Tony's video first. Tony, what is the setup that this requires? And ultimately, how was Vegas? Did you enjoy yourself? Yeah, Vegas was awesome. The people at the Circo were first class.

Derek, Rami, Aaron, all the guys who took care of us over at Stadium Swim. The show was incredible. We had guests. Everything was great. Food, drinks, the whole setup. Circa always does it right. They take care of us. Take care of us like nobody's business. So we get there on Friday. Like it's their business. Like it's their business, but it's nobody's business. It's literally their business. Take care of their business. Exactly right. Hospitality.

So we get to Extreme Couture on Friday. The idea was to spar middleweight legend at this point, Brad Tavares, and work out with coach Eric Nixick, three-time MMA coach of the year. He's one of the greatest dudes of all time. So is Brad. Very excited to do this. Thanks to my boy Justin for setting it all up. We train what is called Sicko Saturdays. And what I've been explained is that throughout fight camp... It closes with you betting on Hawaii to cover.

Well, that's obvious. That's the last part of the parlay. So Monday, Tuesday. Is the explanation longer than the video? No, I've got another 30 seconds left. Play the video. Oh, come on.

We've made it to Vegas. We're at Extreme Couture MMA. I'm really excited because this is like one of the birthplaces of modern MMA and we're gonna maybe spar Brad Tavares. We're gonna go through a workout with Coach Eric. Buddy, there's no maybe. Oh, there's no maybe? It's going down. It's going down? Okay, well, I'm ready, but I'm excited. This is gonna be sick. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we're about to do. Justin, we're doing a few workouts before. We're gonna do a full workout before. It's gonna be the Sicko Saturday workout. Oh, my God. Okay. Sicko mode. Activated a little early today. Sicko mode. Let's go.

Listen bro, I just, I need you alive. I need you alive. I'm good, bro.

We covered the sport. You figure we have to know what it's like to be doing stuff in the octagon. And that's why I set this up. You're getting freckle and I'm the one working out, dude. Okay. I mean, but listen. That's fine. That's fine. It feels amazing. It's 107 degrees in Las Vegas, guys. You know, the more I think about it, the less I worry about it. Really? Yeah. The more I think about it, the more I worry about it. We're getting closer, so we should probably swap minds real quick. Yeah, we just saw Brad. He's huge.

And Hawaiian. Yeah, which is like add like a little flavor to it. It just sounds more violent. He's a beast dude. He's an animal I think he's gonna get his ass kicked and I need him for tonight's show. Look I promise Brad will take it easy on him. You should do this one. No, there's no chance. Dude, do it with him. Let's go, let's go, let's go. I think you should do it. There's no option. Let's go. Come on, I'm gonna fight you.

- Okay, let's go. - You know what I'll do, bro. Slow it down till you guys get it first, right? So I'm here. Boom, bing, boom, boom. - Gotcha. - Now I can pick it up a little bit. I can go again. Okay, I'm getting it now. Now I can go. - Oh, . - So jab. You're always gonna punch across. There you go. Hook, cross. Jab, cross, jab.

Jab. Jab. Combo. Yep, so just drowning pound heavy shots here. Yep, this bag trying to sleep with your mama. You're gonna kill this thing. Get your legs under you and then use this wall to push up. Yeah. There we go.

Oh, up, up, up, up. Nice. Nice. Good work. Let's go. Squeeze your hands together. Don't pull them on you. Get up. Pull him off the wall. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. I can do that. I can do all things through Christ. Let's go, buddy. Yes, you can. I love that. Let's go. Ready? Let's go.

Get wide. Get wide in your base. Think down. Nice. Stop him. Stop him. You are fighting. Come on. Get back up. Get back up. You got to choke. Don't pull him on top. There we go. Get up. Get off your knees. Kicks. Let's go.

Come on, come on. I feel like I'm watching on Richard Simmons. Don't kick my elbows. Let's go cheerleaders, come on. Come on, let's go. Almost there, almost there. Hands up, hands up Tony. Take a lap, hands up. Show these judges optics. That's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life physically.

All right, so how do you feel? I don't think I'll ever see the sport the same way. And it's true what Justin was just saying to me. He was like, dude, like when you look at like the worst fighters in UFC, like record wise, those guys are still going to kill you. He started hitting the bag where I was like, I need to stop hitting the bag because he's hitting it so hard that the reverberation of his kick is drowning out my kick. Jeez.

The idea was for me and Brad to get in the octagon together and exchange a couple, maybe a three-minute round. At 10% is what we agreed to. At 10%. Tony wanted 20. I produced him down to five. Sure. But then all of a sudden, I finished hitting those kicks, right? We finished the round. I'm obviously a little tired, but I think I won the round. All of a sudden, I see Brad pick up his stuff, and he left. No, I can't believe you did this. He was not...

he was like hey i don't know i don't know about this i don't want to you know whatever i got wait till billy gill hears about what you're doing right now so you're saying what you're suggesting the idea was for us to spar and then he left he had to go coach he was like bro you got a nice little a nice little combo good hips bro coach he said i had a nice couple too like he coached me up bro like the first time he did the combo he goes you're doing this whole thing i'm like i got you coach and i was bought in i'll run through i'll fight justin right now for that man wow

Shout out to coaching. Shout out to the boys at Extreme Couture. Shout out to Justin for setting all this stuff up. MMA hangout on the road. Let's go. They said bro more than Pablo says Peabody. Your point?

You ever been that tired? You only have a certain number of syllables that can come out at the same time. I don't think most people know just how exhausting it is to fight a round. Not just MMA, box a round, like that it's a whole different, your legs go from just fear. Did you see Lewis's jello legs as he was trying to kick? It was like, yeah. Lewis looked really bad. It was his left leg, to be fair. Yeah, it was his left leg. Yes.

So more a little bit more on sicko Saturday. So this is what I've been told the elite fighters that are getting ready for their fights This is what they do on Saturdays, right? So they'll wrestle the box Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and then Saturday is the culmination of all those things where you basically do four different exercises or five different exercises for 30 seconds then either hit the bag or kick and you have to do that five minutes and

five rounds. So it's the closest thing that you can do to simulate an actual MMA fight is what we did. And we did about 70% of it. Of the first round. Or just wrestle a bear. Do you guys know, look at Lewis's body there. That is, I feel for him. Lefties. Yeah, I feel for Lewis there.

That tone, that's not great for Lewis. Coach Nixick had to stop the workout a little early because Lewis was a color of red that he did not really like. So he was worried. He's like, do we have the AED machine? Is it close? Does Lewis have chest hair? We may need to put the

pads on him but luckily Lewis bounced back and he's able to obviously do this and speak and breathe he did have you in a guillotine he got me in a guillotine when I hit it with the double leg he did get me in a guillotine the problem is he needed to crank a little bit more and go back and

I broke his hand so that way I was able to get out. But he had me for about four seconds. He had me. I've seen enough to know that you would kick Lewis's ass. Thank you. And Kugler's too. Bring him out here. I'll beat his ass right now. Enough with Lewis's nipples, please. Why do we keep threatening people? Enough. Enough. To please Dan. With Lewis's nipples. He's very bloodthirsty. I don't need any more of that. Why did he shave his chest?

Mike, because it was going to be on camera, Mike pointed out that they have a Tom and Jerry vibe. Tony, do you even know what Tom and Jerry is? Yeah, cat and mouse game. Ice cream. I only ask because I don't assume that young people will know what Tom and Jerry is. That's Ben and Jerry. Who they are. No. I wanted to bring up something that I figured that you guys would be on top of on God Bless Football.

I saw that Mostert took out the Dolphins for treating all pros like shit on Twitter. You guys are friends with Raheem Mostert and one season with the Dolphins, he had 18 touchdowns. And so I was going to send you guys the note when I saw this on Twitter, I was going to send you guys the note to see if you should get Raheem Mostert on because...

I haven't heard a lot of people with the Dolphins saying this as the business now breaks apart. The guys at the end who think that they were more valuable than how they were treated here. I don't think Jalen Ramsey should have any complaints about how he was treated here in any way. But Raheem Mostert is saying the Dolphins will treat you like shit. What do you make of this? And have you reached out already to Raheem Mostert for God bless football?

We needed Billy's reaction to this, so we recorded an episode yesterday, and we were texting back and forth with Raheem Mostert. Billy just bought a jersey. Oh, spoiler alert. Of Raheem Mostert after he left the Dolphins. And Mostert was playful. He was texting back and forth with me, but he couldn't come on because he was headed on vacation to Panama.

Why didn't you tell people where he was going? It's a big country, Billy. What hotels he had. You really didn't need to say where he was headed on vacation. The canal, by the way, going back to the Everglades for a second, the canal seems like something I don't need to see if I go to Panama.

I know some people like the idea of, like, I'm going to go through the Panama Canal. It seems like something you could skip. I've never been. Greg, you're a cruiser. I don't know if you've ever been through the Panama Canal. I have not. It sounds like a theme park, though. It's something you should get on. Yeah? Yeah, I think so. But, you know, Raheem Mostert was talking about himself. He was the one who was treated like shit by the Dolphins. He scores 20 touchdowns, has 1,800 yards rushing, and the next year –

He's replaced by A-Chan. Younger, cheaper, faster, better. All of a sudden, he's the backup running back after a career year. So that was a veil. He wasn't talking about Jalen Ramsey. He was talking about himself. That wasn't about Ramsey, by the way. That, I think, was more so about John U. Smith because he was saying pro bowlers. John U. wanted a new deal, and then they ended up shipping him off.

I mean, you could also say that they treat pro bowlers very well, even if they have chronic concussion problems. Because Sioux was a pro bowler, got a big fat contract. Hell, you could be a pro bowler and on your way to work and get arrested or detained. And they'll reward you no matter the optics. It seems as though Tyreek Hill, even when he begs to leave this franchise, the franchise won't get rid of him. So I think there's an argument for that.

And Raheem Mosert has benefited from other franchises looking at that position being interchangeable. He made it to a Super Bowl with the Niners, and he got a starting role because in this Shanahan offense, and he learned down here when he set the franchise record for touchdowns,

It's very interchangeable. He knows that better than anybody. Tariq Hill got that treatment because he's Tariq Hill. I mean, I don't know if Mostert gets the same treatment if he gets arrested moments before a football game. We just can't cover a blanket over Pro Bowlers, though, because they do pay guys. To Billy's point, the Panama Canal, right? You figure, like, oh, it's cool. It connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and whatever. Would you be proud enough to rep it as having it

as like a bumper sticker on your car? Because I passed this car the other day and it was Canal Panama and they had like a little like plate on it. Do you feel like that's something you'd be like, yeah, like I want that. I want to rep that. There are tourists like, I went to the Panama Canal. No, look at this. So look on video right now. It's just a bumper sticker of somebody's Kia and it says Canal Panama and it's a bunch of pictures of the Panama Canal. Just proud of the memories. Proud of the region. Do you think that they grew up there? Not even the region, the canal. Just the canal. That's what they're proud of.

Like Panama? Okay, cool. Let's go, Panamanians. I love it. Just the canal. Just the canal. It seems like an extended parking lot, really, for boats, right? It's like you're there, and you go five feet, and you have to stop, and then they close the doors, and the water raises, and then you go a little bit, and then you stop, and they close the doors, and water lowers, and then you go a little bit. It's kind of like I don't need to be moving constantly to stop and look at nothing.

You know what? The whole thing's a scam. Yeah. It's a hostage situation. What? They charge boats thousands of dollars to go through the Panama Canal. It's a moneymaker. It's like their main economy. Most people don't know this. I don't know about that. Because it was recent, but 90% of it was recently sold to BlackRock.

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is the Panama Canal just an extended parking lot for boats? And also put it on the poll, is the Panama Canal a scam, a hostage situation? At Levitard Show, a couple of things that I did want to point out when Mike and you talk about...

disposable pieces at running back. You see the trade yesterday? The trade yesterday in basketball, when we talk about disposable pieces. Michael Porter, when he was a part of a champion, just a couple of years ago,

He was quoted recently as Denver struggled, hey, we might be in a last dance situation. Of course, they're not in a last dance situation. It's only that Michael Porter's in a last dance situation. He was terrible in those finals with the Nuggets. He's an expendable piece. And now they go get Cam Johnson, who does all of the same things cheaper, is all it is. All it is is accounting, is a player you may have liked who was a champion and who was a part of a starting five that when he was healthy...

was as talented as any in the league before they won the championship. He gets traded for a player who's just cheaper. They had to sign him to an extension. I would say Cam Johnson is exactly what Cam Johnson is supposed to be. The problem with Michael Porter is a lot of people think he should be a lot better than Michael Porter is. But Cam Johnson is on the ascent, was good in Brooklyn, and will do the same things cheaper. And I just wonder when I ask you guys about the humanity of some of this as we do all of the accounting that this is.

Raheem Mostert had a season. You said 20 touchdowns. There was 18 rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns? I believe so. But that is...

You can make the argument it's among the best single seasons any human being has had in sports down here and disposable. Totally disposable. What happens to the allegiances between customers and fan bases when the players are that disposable? That one year to the next, oh, the coach did the 18 touchdowns there, not the running back. The running back is interchangeable. A-chan is cheaper and he's faster. He'll do the same thing.

There are very few running backs that bridge that gap with fandom. I think you're seeing it a little bit with Nick Chubb in Cleveland. Cleveland had a deep connection with that player, but I think sports fans are highly educated in this country when it comes to that position. But what I'm saying, what's the cost of it when you make it that disposable? Yes, I understand that over the last five years we've been watching, oh, look at that.

You have an assortment of players like Todd Gurley who come and go like that. Need him to win a championship, don't need him, done before he's 30, whatever. He was a flash. Four years. NFL, not for long.

When I ask you about the specifics of this one guy, you guys love him. Yeah. You guys have a connection with this human being who scored 18 touchdowns in a season for the Dolphins. I think when he scored his 16th that season, Billy told him to hold out. I mean, he did. I did tell him in the middle of that season to stop playing.

I said, you should hold out and get more money. He was having a year. Good advice. I mean, you can imagine his frustration. He has a career year at age 30, old for a running back, and then the next year he's a discard. I don't blame him. Well, he got hurt in that first game, to be fair. But this is what I would just ask you guys as we make all these guys disposable and totally interchangeable. Do you think that the ego it takes to get to the top of sports, that Raheem Mostert, who is –

Check out all the speed charts. They say the fastest runs are all him. He's faster than anyone in the league. In the one season he was used right, or felt he was used right, and was healthy, scored 18 touchdowns. Don't you think he thinks that's who he is? Or do you think he thinks he's the guy who doesn't score 18 touchdowns in a season? I mean, he has a lot of seasons where he didn't score 10. Okay, but what do you think he thinks he is, though? Like, in terms of self-awareness and ego when it takes to get to the top of sports, do

Don't you believe that Raheem Mostert's self-assessment would be that he's fast enough and has proven enough that that's something that he feels like he could do again? Yes. Ego always outranks self-awareness in athletes. Always. Right. I'm certain he thinks he can do it again in the right situation with the proper amount of carries. Nobody but him would think that, but you understand what I'm saying. But didn't they give him a two-year extension at the age of 30 after that season? I think they did, right? He was hurt some last year. Right. And...

Again, H-man is faster. Right. There's always someone younger, cheaper, faster. Always. Well, that position, yes. But at any position. Well, not quarterback, I mean. He's also been discarded twice by the Dolphins. Like his rookie year, he was with the Dolphins and he bounced around a little bit. And then eventually he found a home in San Francisco. Then he comes back to Miami. He kind of proves, hey, you know what? Maybe you should have held on to me a little bit. He has the year that he had. He signs the extension, but then he gets discarded again. So I can understand why there's ill-willing.

That position is so weird where the Eagles, without Saquon Barkley, were so close to beating the Chiefs three seasons ago, and then they get Saquon, they win the Super Bowl, but they could have won it without Saquon Barkley. They almost did. Tony, we're going to play Kugler's game next. Are you rooting for it to fail? I can't wait. It's going to be great. I'm going to text Roz on the side and be like, tank it. You look so good in that video, man. Thank you, buddy.
