America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters.

We get new medicines first, nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home.

And not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

This is the Don Levittar show with this Tugat Spatcast.

Look at the radiant bride to be here.

We're all thrilled for her.

We learned yesterday, I don't know why she's smiling.

Do you think that my happiness is insincere?

Why, what do you mean?

What's happening there?

I am thrilled for you.

They broke the breaking news during the show yesterday.

They told us that you had announced that you had gotten engaged

and we were all thrilled for you.

So we immediately played the audio of you snoring.

Everyone's being way too earnest.

It's making me uncomfortable.

The last six days have just been non-stop people saying

how happy they are for me.

And I don't like it, Dan.

It's too earnest making me feel things.

OK, cool.

Happy for you guys, whatever I'm here.

It tends to happen around weddings and love

and the important things in life.

I am thrilled because I am told also

that we have a video of you surprising your grandma

with your news.

And it has been too long since I've heard from your grandmother.

What is the context that this video requires?

Well, Lehman proposed to me on Friday

as you all heard yesterday.

And so I FaceTime my grandma.

And someone was filmed.

I think Lehman was filming her.

Also, should I say, Leonsei?

Are we going with that, Chris Cody?

Leonsei?

That checks.

OK.

Leonsei, my Leonsei, was filming her reaction.

So this was my grandma's reaction

that I wanted you guys to hear first.

I have to show you something.

What?

I've been watching you.

Oh, my God.

What am I doing?

Zabberbottom bitch.

Oh, my God.

I've never thought he'd do it.

I told you you were going to do it.

Oh, my God.

Let me say this.

Or just let me see what the hell is this.

It's a yellow diamond.

It's like a sailor.

Yeah, we love that about grandma.

What are the details that you can share

or comfortable sharing, even though all of this

requires feelings?

I will give a special shout out to Lucy,

who was integral in the planning and execution

of the proposal and was a witness to the proposal.

I was very surprised.

I'll post pictures at some point next week,

but Lee surprised me in our apartment

and Lucy brought a lot of props from Hobby Lobby.

And so she was there.

And I was so surprised that I didn't really

have anything to say.

He asked me to marry him.

And I was like, OK, yes, I had nothing planned.

It was very disorienting, Dan.

As you know, there was a big snow storm in New York

this past weekend.

So that was the only thing I had thought about all week

was, oh, my God, this weekend's going to be terrible.

And then I walked into my apartment, Lucy's there.

And there's a bunch of flowers and Lee's on one knee.

So it was very, very jarring for me.

And no inkling like because you knew

that eventually he would propose, right?

Are you felt like he would?

You told your grandma that you knew he would.

Well, I did pick out the ring.

I'm not going to pretend like that was a total surprise.

But yes, when I even dated for like eight years,

so I mean, you were going to get married eventually.

You're just kind of, we were living in Florida.

We're like, yeah, we don't really

know that many people down here.

Maybe we'll wait till we're back in New York

where his family is.

And so, yeah, long, long time coming.

But there it is.

How do you have no idea then?

Because it was like a disgusting cold Friday

in the middle of January's as I didn't.

I thought I was just going to be my friend Priya.

Everyone I know has lied to me for the last week.

By the way, it's honestly pisses me off.

I've been asking people for months.

I'm like, what are we doing this weekend?

What are we doing here?

What's the plan for here?

When are we going to go down, see my parents, blah, blah.

Everyone's been lying to me.

They've just been like passing the buck around like,

oh, well, let's do this.

blah, blah, blah, whatever.

So for weeks, I've just been lied to.

Was Lee really sick?

Because you said on last Mystery Crit that Lee,

you guys have been separated

because he was sick for a couple of weeks.

Yeah, he was really sick,

which I heard almost jeopardized a month's long plan

to propose on Friday.

So luckily, he recovered Chris.

But I was with my friends all last weekend.

And I was like, what do you guys want to do next weekend?

We were like making plans and all the,

the whole time they knew I was getting,

I was going to get proposed to you.

And Lee, Leon say, surprise me,

it kind of sounds like Beyonce.

But Leon say, surprise me with a trip to come to my parents.

So I didn't even have to,

I've been complaining about the snow storm for weeks.

And now I'm not even in New York right now to deal with it.

So that was shocking.

She's angry.

They're just still like being lied to Chris.

I was, you know, the whole thing how like women will be like,

oh, I want to make sure my nails are done.

So when I get engaged, you know, for the pictures,

my nails look nice.

Well, my friend took me to get my nails done on Friday.

And I was like, I'm just going to get a pedicure.

And she's like, you should get a manicure too.

And I was like, no, I don't really want to get a manicure.

I'm off Jellex right now.

I don't like the UV lights.

You know, it's too much UV exposure on my nails.

They band it and you're up apparently.

So I was like, no, we're doing this.

I really want to do it.

Makes the nails brittle, Dan.

Exactly, but it's terrible for your nails.

The nail health is suffering, Tony.

So I've been going, oh, natural for about a year now.

And she was like, you really should get a manicure.

I mean, why not?

We're going to this event tonight.

There's going to be photographers there,

which that was bullsh**t, by the way.

And I was like, I want to get a manicure.

Like, whatever, I don't care.

So my nails look disgusting in these engagement photos.

And she was like, well, if I had been more forceful,

then you would have known something was coming.

And I was like, maybe it would have been nice

to have 5% of a clue instead of like negative 20.

Because I just sounded like a babbling idiot

when this thing happened.

Greg, are you bothered that you weren't

able to break this news and ruin this engagement?

I am.

That's what I was thinking the whole time.

I thought about feeding it to my dad.

I think I knew like a day or two before.

I thought about feeding it to my dad.

Wait a minute, did everyone know before Jessica?

Like, is she the real dude?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I meant before Jessica announced it.

I knew before Jessica.

OK, I had to make a decision in terms of content.

And I'm handing it up right now.

I'm very happy.

I do wish my nails were done.

But Dan, I decided, should I tell people, should I post something

online, like whatever, I don't know what to,

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

It's the first time I've ever been engaged.

Hopefully the last.

And I thought, you know what?

I'm going to record with Gojo on Monday for the Echoes pod.

Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm going to surprise him on camera and get his reaction.

So I could have gone with Greg and Greg break the news,

but I went with my co-hosts that, sorry, Greg.

That's OK, yes.

I forgive you and congratulations.

I got to ask you an honest question, though,

because my future wife and I dated a long time,

like about the same seven, eight years, six years,

before we finally got married.

And I'm wondering, in your relationship,

did it ever reach a point where you're thinking,

when's this guy going to ask me to get married?

Like, ticked talk.

Did it ever come up as a subject, even kidding?

It was more so the opposite where he was like,

I've been saving for a ring for five years.

Like, when are we going to get married?

And I was like, let's wait.

He's a little bit older than me, Greg, so he was ready.

And I was like, I'm a child bride.

I think I need to at least turn 31.

So no, I think we're kind of on the same page.

And that's something that really shocks both of our sets

of boomer parents is that we communicate with each other.

Yeah.

This is a weird South Beach session.

It really is.

It's true, though.

I was like, I don't know what to make this caption on my Instagram.

And my dad was like, you should make it say,

I finally succumbed to the traditional societal norms of marriage.

And I was like, yeah, that's probably not romantic enough.

So I made it open instead.

What's the worst part of the life?

Honestly, right now, the fact that I have to go back to New York

in a few days.

It's eight degrees.

It's eight degrees.

A lot of people are shoveling snow twice a day.

I wanted to talk to you a little bit about all the football

stuff going on here.

Before we get to the professional stuff,

and Mike McCarthy becoming the Steelers co-chief from Shams.

Two-time MVP, Yana Santa Ticumpo, is ready for our new home

at the February 5th NBA Trade Deadline.

Or in the off season, as several rival teams

have made aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks Forum,

and the franchise is starting to listen to League Sources.

Yeah.

I'm talking about Dan.

Yes, Jeremy.

Go back to the B-O-R-E-D.

Go back to the B-O-R-E-D.

Go back to the board.

And I'm going to resume talking about football here with Jessica.

People always talk about New Year's resolutions.

You know, eat better, work out more, et cetera, et cetera.

We might still be early in 2026,

but I'm sure most of you have already broken your resolutions.

Me, I'm still gone.

My resolutions are simple.

Be comfortable, especially at the ring.

If you know me, you know that hockey isn't just something

I watch is something I live.

Late nights, cold arenas, long playoff runs.

You only feel the light.

And if your socks aren't right, you feel it badly.

That's why I've been rocking Bombas sports socks.

The cushioned exactly where you needed.

Sweat wicking, supportive.

Basically built for movement.

Whether I'm at the game skating a little myself

or pacing around during overtime

like I somehow affect the outcome,

they keep me locked in uncomfortable.

And when I finally get home to break down everything

to happen on the ice,

Bombas has the everyday stuff too.

Slippers, teas, underwear, all ridiculously soft.

It's the kind of comfort you don't think about

because you don't have to.

Don't live a tard.

I don't think I ever got that many roses in my whole life.

Two guts.

I'm not from your lovely grandfather, God,

and man's soul rushed in peace.

This is the Don Lebatar show with this two guts.

College football changes.

Your thoughts there are what?

What's most interesting to you there?

What's most interesting to me is the fact that

there keep just being all these reports about the fact

that no one reads what's in any of the playoff agreements

that the conferences and the commissioners are all agreeing on.

There was a story yesterday from the athletic

where Chris Vignini said that apparently next year,

the highest ranked G6 group of six team

doesn't necessarily need to be a conference champion

to get into the CFP

and that no one was aware of this until yesterday, I suppose.

I guess my question is like, does no one read the fine print?

Everyone's just agreeing to stuff

and they don't know what that stuff is.

And also, do conference championship games matter?

Do they not matter?

Because under this agreement, I guess theoretically,

you could have a 12-0 team that gets upset

in their conference championship game

and they would still be safe to get into the playoff

as long as they're still ranked in the top 25, I suppose.

I had another G6 team.

And what's the point of playing the conference championship game?

So some conference championship games matter and some don't.

Like last year, the big 12 conference championship

game mattered because BYU lost

and they didn't get into the playoff.

But the SEC one didn't,

because Alabama lost by three touchdowns

and they still got in.

So now I'm just like, what are we doing here?

And does no one read?

Did you have any thoughts on the idea that Miami

has just bought Duke's two best players?

You know, I mean, I think it's great for Miami.

You have two conference champions

that now can teach you how to win a conference championship.

But no, Dan, I think it's like the transfer portal

give it and the transfer portal take it.

Like, Duke was able to lure Menzel away from Tulane.

So I guess you can't be that mad

when the game gets played to you.

I do think what is, I guess for lack of a better word,

lame is if you're a player and you announce your coming back,

you're resigning with the school you play for

and then you enter the portal later and transfer.

Like, that's lame.

I know that like they had to go through a settlement

and all that and I'm not even like concerned

with the legal aspect of it.

I just mean from like a purely from a fan perspective

if my favorite teams quarterback is like,

yep, I'm sticking around and then like two weeks later,

they changed their mind.

It's like, why even announce it then?

Like if you're going to wait around and possibly leave

when you get a better offer, just wait and don't say anything

because I think that that kind of sucks as a fan.

We just had the breaking news of the untie was is ultimately

these picks that the Pelicans, the Hawks and the Blazers have

guys because the Blazers, those pick swaps in 2028 and 2030

as long as they have that 29 first round pick as well,

they really control the future for the Bucks

and the Bucks have this first round pick right here

that's likely their own.

It's best for them if they're bad this season.

So what do they want to take on for Yannis Johnson to compo?

Maybe the name itself Todd Monkin is not very inspiring.

Nobody wanted nobody wanted that Browns job,

but Mike McCarthy to the Steelers.

I can't imagine that Steeler fans are very excited

by anything happening there.

Do I have it wrong?

I think Dan, when I heard the news, I felt like I had been punked.

I thought this is probably not, this is, this can't be.

I mean, last week we were joking about the AI Slopphoto

where he had a cigarette sticking out of his ear

and the fact that what is the connection here?

The connection is that he's from Pittsburgh, is that why?

The last time Pittsburgh, the Steelers did this with like,

oh, we got our Pittsburgh guy was with Kenny Pickett.

That didn't work out.

So I didn't like that and I thought that, you know,

that probably wasn't gonna happen.

I thought they'd go with the young DC route

which has worked well for them in the past, Dan.

But then, yeah, they hired McCarthy.

I thought I was being punked.

I was, I was pretty down about it.

I mean, did it ruin my engagement weekend?

I wouldn't go that far, but did it, you know,

make me unhappy for a few hours

and an otherwise happy weekend?

Yeah.

And then he did his press conference and look Dan,

I know you're gonna hate this,

but he won the press conference.

He won the press conference.

There's the cigarette sticking out of the ear, love it.

He just said all the right things.

He got choked up, he was emotional

and I was like, you know what?

Maybe we can make this work.

Maybe I don't know how he's gonna be coaching a team

without a quarterback.

That's not something he's really had to do for a while.

I'm not sure what that offense is gonna look like.

I do not want Aaron Rogers back.

It sounds like that's probably gonna happen now,

but I'm willing to make it work

because he is, you know,

the prodigal son's coming home, Dan.

How does this work with people giving good coaching?

The question too is which team has expiring deals

because potentially, you have Karl Anthony Towns here

who could be moved as a piece of this

to get Yannis to the Knicks

or do the warriors have enough themselves?

Does Milwaukee want to be bad?

And then you have Jimmy Butler being shifted

into that space for them to be bad right now

because if you work out a three team deal with,

again, New Orleans and Atlanta,

those teams are the ones

that control Milwaukee's pick next year.

So if they could get their own pick back.

Potential.

Joe Brady to the bills.

That feels uninspired as well,

given everybody that they were talking to,

but at least keeps continuity there.

Did you have any thoughts there?

Just basically that.

Like it seems like bills fans that I've talked to feel like,

okay, we thought maybe there was a bigger plan

if you were gonna let go of McDermott

because I think letting go of McDermott,

it's kind of different than the Steelers thing

because hiring Mike McCarthy just kind of reasserts

that that was Tomlin's decision.

He probably caught everyone off guard by it

because they had no plan.

So they just hired another kind of Tomlin-esque coach.

But the Joe Brady thing, it's like, well,

but then Dan, the whole press conference with Terry Pagula,

like it just seems like from the top down,

they're not really sure what they're doing.

So I guess from that standpoint,

it makes a lot of sense and you could have done worse.

But yeah, it just seems like uninspiring,

like not a huge plan for how to move forward.

And especially a team that does have a quarterback

that is in, you know, when now mode with their quarterback.

I can see why people are a little underwhelmed.

Were you surprised at your looking at Drew Holiday,

Carl Anthony Towns, Demardero's and Demontos Abonus,

Jonathan Cumming, a Jimmy Butler,

Yannisante de Cumpo, Terry Rosir, Andrew Wiggins,

Norman Powell, Collelle Wehr, Tyler Hero, Anthony Davis,

Yandre Hunter, John Marant, LeBron James,

there's all of these players that could be of,

heck, Chris Stapps, Porzingus could be a play

when we're talking about the trade of line

and all of these players and everything that they're doing,

all of this movement hinges on Yannisante de Cumpo.

And now with eight days to go,

what does Fauci have to do with it?

Were you surprised that you were surprised

by the good coach talk making you turn even slightly

on McCarthy?

Because I can't believe that a savvy veteran,

even though you're still a child bride, a child,

I can't believe like a savvy veteran like you

could be fooled by coach talk.

Yeah, I'm an idiot, Dan.

I think that's the long and short of it.

I believe everything at face value,

that's why my friends have been able to lie to me

for a month and my Lianse has been lying to me for a month

and I haven't noticed because I just,

maybe I'm too trusting, maybe I'm not stupid,

maybe I'm just too trusting and perhaps the Ted Naive.

Do you have the sound for your internet minute

that produced, yeah, there it is, okay, very good.

You don't have time to get in it.

Jessica's internet minute.

I may be naive and take things at face value,

but when it comes to internet conspiracy theories,

that is not the case.

And yesterday I saw a post that Brittany Mahomes

had reposted this video on her Instagram stories

of a thing that is going around the internet

where people take a lighter and burn a ball of snow

and the snow turns black from the suit from the lighter,

but they're claiming that it's actually plastic snow

and the government has created a fake snow storm.

So she posted this video, which is like debunking that.

So I'm like, okay, that's good.

Like she's posting a debunking video,

but then the caption of this video was like,

this is real snow, but it is still made,

the man made from the government.

So then I was like, oh, no, I'm pretty.

But I did, I did some googling,

and this is a very popular thing

that's going around right now, Dan.

So the explanation I read was that the lighter

doesn't burn cleanly.

So that's why the snow balls turning,

perhaps a sooty shade of black,

but also there's this thing called sublimation happening

where a solid goes straight to a gas

instead of turning into a liquid first.

So that's why it's not just becoming wet water

and dripping all over the place.

So I don't know, there's a scientific explanation for it.

I don't think the snow storm was manufactured,

and I don't know why it would be.

That's kind of the part of this conspiracy

that I'm still trying to hammer home

why there would be fake plastic snow.

And that part I can't figure out.

So if you are part of this conspiracy theory community,

why would this happen?

I don't understand.

I don't mean to be cruel.

Revelation has always alluded to a great mythical serpent

that is living in our oceans called the Leviathan.

Now, if you check Google Maps and I trust me

when I say this off the coast of Chile,

you can make out the head of a snake.

Now, why is this all happening to us?

I'll tell you why, mail-in voting.

You need two forms of ID,

and it's hugely important that you take this with you.

Now listen.

I don't mean to be cruel about this,

but your nails look spectacular.

Thank you, Dan.

Oh, wow.

Emergency manicure on Saturday morning at the airport.

Those pictures are going to be mortifying you forever

because they're always going to remind you

that your friends lie to you all week.

In parts like Texas, it's snowing in Savannah.

No one's talking about that.

No, it's not.

It's snowing in Savannah, guys.

And you know why we're doing that?

So the beast can stay asleep.

We don't want to usher in the end times

until the timing is right.

And we're almost there.

How did Mike take the microphone away from somebody?

Less annoying.

How is it possible that that happened

while it is that Jeremy was doing the bit?

All of a sudden, we end up on Mike giving us conspiracy theories

that nobody cares for.

Says, you know about that Leviathan?

I know about that Leviathan.

Now you do.

Fauci.

Fauci.

Get that Fauci bubblehead I brought in

that of him throwing a first pitch somewhere wearing a mask.

That's good to accompany what it is that you're doing.

The podcast is the echoes.

The echoes, the echoes with Mike Colick Jr.

Check it out.

It's all your weekly Notre Dame information.

Is Notre Dame doing well in the portal?

They did very well in the portal, Dan.

Thank you for asking.

We broke it all down last week.

And like I said, if you want to check out Gojo's

live reaction to me surprising him, I thought it was very cute.

Was it great?

So he is a good friend.

He also is an uncommonly sweet human being just like his dad.

So like doing that to him, I imagine that he would give you

shared joy, delight, like very few.

Yeah, and like I said, it's making me very uncomfortable.

So I don't, I don't know where we go from here.

Luke, Dan Lucy's watching my dog right now in 20 degree

whether she's so nice.

Everyone's so nice.

It's been wonderful to watch you and Lucy become friends.

And I, as is the eye before the E and Peter teal.

Either way, give him everything that he needs.

This is huge.

This is a huge part because nobody has been on the antichrist

more than Peter teal.

And I got to say, this Levine thing, it's got traction.

Jessica, thank you.

It's good seeing you and congratulations.

Everybody here is thrilled for you.

Thank you.

In sports championships aren't won alone.

I grabbed a six pack of Miller Light,

said I was on my way.

And next thing you know, we're arguing about rotations

like we're on the coaching staff, yelling about a miss call.

And the games coming down in the final possession

is one of those nights that you look around,

you take a sip and you think, yeah,

this was the right call.

And my friendship's stronger for it.

Cheers to legendary moments with Miller Light.

Don Lebatard.

Faith.

I don't look smelly either.

Stugats.

Women stay home in the kitchen where they belong.

This is the Don Lebatard show with the Stugats.

I need all of those people back in here in order to do a show with them while Roy and

Chris are lovely to do the show with.

The rest of those people need to get in here.

I cannot be left to my own devices here.

You know that I will just be talking about freedom and democracy and so I have to get

back to sports and I also need somebody.

I was trying to draw a penis.

Tell us what now?

Tell us straight a penis on what it is Mike was doing.

But I need the code to the illustrator because I don't know it and everyone had left the

room and I was trying to ask somebody for the code to the illustrator.

I didn't even ask Jessica and I should have because I don't know that we've talked

enough about it today.

Do you feel like we have the Bella check story is a beast like it's a monster.

We all of it, right?

It's not just Bella checks legacy.

It's the being able to recycle again what the whole of fame is supposed to be.

Is it a place where facts and merit are measured or is it a place for the gatekeepers to apply

judgments outside of that?

You heard me say during the refereeing segment that we were talking about.

You heard me say that I don't want my judges doing letter of the law.

I want them applying judgment, good judgment, not judgment.

I agree with just expert judgment that's better than my judgment because they have more

information than I do and more tools to do it.

In this case, and this is my objection, Greg, for as much as you and I argue about me losing

my hall of fame vote, this is where I lost it.

It was over the principle for me of, I believe, the gatekeepers shouldn't be applying independent

moralities to something that should act more metrically as a merit based system for accomplishment.

I think it should be a museum and it's not a museum of art.

To me, it should be more like a library.

It should be a place where facts are, where I can get my history in a way that is unencumbered

by the moralities of others.

You want to let Belichick in with an asterisk?

That's fine, but you've got to let him in.

Well, I've said that for years that let Barry bonds in, but include on his eternal bronze

plaque, the reason he didn't get in right away, include the word steroids.

In Belichick's case, put him in the hall of fame, but on his forever plaque, include the

blemish, include spy gate.

I think voters have not only the right, but the obligation to make a distinction between

first ballot hall of fame and second year hall of fame.

And I know you disagree.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Nick Wright said it.

You say not right obligation?

Yeah.

You say the voter has an obligation.

So what you guys just did to Jason Tatum, I'm going to trust you with someone's forever

legacy on that.

I make him second tier because I don't like him.

But that's not right.

That's just not right.

I didn't say I made him second tier because I didn't like him.

No, but I'm saying that's part of what's in play with Barry bonds and all of these voters.

I don't expect my voters to be that emotionally biased.

I can make it.

Then let fans vote.

If you're going to, if you're just going to make it that emotionally biased, don't make

the gatekeepers have more sanctity about what they're doing, then just do it by polling.

Then do it.

Call and poll.

You don't make the gatekeepers human beings have have AI, select your hall.

The human beings are obligated to apply or aspire to objectivity.

You don't agree, right?

This is the problem, I think, with the gatekeepers.

It's why I lost my vote.

The gatekeepers think that that museum is for them.

You give them the power and they abuse it because they think here's where I show you how

important my judgment is and then it stops being about how hard it is to be.

I want this to always be about how hard it is to be Bill Belichick or Barry bonds.

That's not why you lost your vote.

You didn't lose your vote.

You lost your vote.

Come on.

Due to hijinks and shenanigans.

Yeah, we all know it.

It's okay.

Both of those.

He moved left.

I'm being.

Yes.

And the the Levitard hat trick of making it about himself.

Yeah.

Damn.

Natural hat trick.

Damn.

Janus is about to get traded.

Yeah.

What do we do it?

We don't care.

You know funny.

Because you read the Shamstraniya tweet.

How two-time MVP, Janus Antitucopo, is ready for a new home at the February 5th NBA Trade

deadline.

He refuses to ask for a trade.

Refuses to request for a trade.

Refuses to demand a trade.

He is.

Have you ever heard this phrase before?

Ready for a new home.

Yeah.

He refuses to actually ask for a trade.

Yeah.

No, it's a.

But getting back to the Hall of Fame.

If you don't mind.

Can I do actually?

I thought Zad showed good judgment there by pulling me off of that.

Okay.

A lot more to say.

But that's okay.

Janus.

Yeah.

Janus Antitucopo.

I hear you.

And it's going to come here.

I hear you.

Greg.

Greg.

It's the heat.

He's got the one thing that he's got expertise on.

He can't talk enough about his own Hall of Fame.

Like, I'll do this.

You know what I'll do?

I think he can.

No, this is what I'll do.

At the end of the show today.

Okay.

On the post game.

Just attached to that.

Greg Cody gets to give you all his thoughts on this.

And we will all leave the studio and just let him talk until he runs out of.

Out of breath.

But we also have to get to whether or not he remembers.

There it is.

What he voted for earlier in the show.

Do you remember the number of votes on this test of ours?

Where we said, will Bill Pollyen remember or should he remember at 83?

Something that he did two weeks ago in voting.

Yeah.

You said that he should remember that.

And obviously remembers that that he's lying when he talks to Don.

Zad has his ballot.

Well, Zad explained to us the nature of this test here that we did before.

We get back to Yannis.

So Bill Pollyen flat out denies the story from last night that claims he led the charge

of bellicic having to wait at least a year to get into the hall of fame.

And he claimed he claims he voted for bellicic but he doesn't know for a hundred percent certainty.

Which seems crazy.

But hey, it was a couple of weeks.

But he knows for a hundred percent certainty that he did vote for Robert Kraft.

Right.

Like that one he knows with a hundred percent certainty.

Right.

I think that's what's actually happening here.

I think eyes have been opened by David Samson.

This is a craft thing.

He does not want to share the limelight with him.

He does not want the awkwardness of them having a big Patriots glory days field trip.

That guy's in the Super Bowl right now on his own as he sees it.

I think he uses his influence to be like, that's going to be my week.

And I'm not sharing it with him.

So Chris does not believe, forget a couple of weeks to remember.

Chris does not believe his father would remember by the end.

He does not believe his father would remember by the end of the show today.

Who he voted for.

Something he did a couple of hours earlier.

Not even.

And it's not even been two hours since Greg Cody did what?

Okay.

So I'm not even going to tell you how many people you voted for.

I'm just going to ask you some names here and you're going to tell me if you voted for him.

Well, wait a minute.

But hold on a second.

How many did you vote for?

Well, you're going to criticize for me.

I only voted for four.

Oh, that's it.

That's what he did.

I only voted for four.

He's going to remember them all.

I didn't have chance to do due diligence on the borderline.

I didn't have chance.

Did you vote Tory Holt into the Hall of Fame?

No.

Did you vote Eli Manning into the Hall of Fame?

No.

He's going to nail this test and ruin all of it.

Like just tell me the forward.

Who would you vote for?

Who would you vote for?

I voted for Drew Breeze.

I voted for Frank Gore.

I voted for L Fitz.

Larry Fitzgerald.

L Fitzgerald.

That's it.

That's it.

Now he's just show boating.

Now this is this right here.

This right here is him show boating.

Look how good my memory is.

I can't remember all the guys I voted for.

90 minutes ago.

All four.

And I also voted for Jordan Hudson's boyfriend.

I'm surprised you only voted for one.

So we just have to remember.

I mean, that's what you did here.

Such a trick that he pulled on us by only voting four.

I mean, you know, I feel hoodwinked.

Those were those were the four.

Those were the four.

Those are the four automatic first.

I'll ask him again this Friday when we record the Greg Cody show.

Eli Manning's on the Hall of Fame.

After happy hour.

Borderline.

Let's do it two weeks from now.

That's why he didn't get in to it.

Let's do it the same way the polling did.

Let's put it.

Let's send alarms somewhere that goes off during the show.

Two weeks from now on Wednesday.

And ask him again who he voted for.

I got to remind her of my phone.

Let's see if he remembers 100% or 95% the way.

I think he's definitely got to remember L Fitz.

Yeah, L Fitz.

Of course.

L Fitz, man.

That the reason he did that was to show boat on memory.

It was such a weird flex.

Like I know I know this so well.

That I'm going to give you a nickname that Larry Fitzgerald does not have.

L Fitz.

Because I'm going to parade around here with a rhythmic gymnastics ribbon.

And show you guys how good my memory is from 90 minutes ago.

That was so disappointing.

And you know what else it does?

Major penalty five minutes proving comedy.

It doesn't help us for him to get everything right there.

Like it does.

Who's fault?

It doesn't.

Yeah, but he's our most like genuine guy.

We can't have him doing bits.

He has to just be him.

No, but he did do a bit because I'll bet he believes that there's more than four.

But he only picked four because he never remember.

Yeah.

How do you know that?

You know what?

My soul.

Someone told me.

Okay.

This guy.

Okay.

Nice add asshole.

Um.

Okay.

So Yannis doing this.

That's let's take away of this guy refuses to demand a trade.

It's such a funny place that Zaz is getting stuck on the idea of Yannis sort of trying to slither around.

Do it.

He's right.

Look.

Have you ever heard anyone say I'm ready for a new home?

So here's the part where he's not right.

Okay.

And I understand why he comes by this opinion.

Okay.

There is no right way to do this with the fan base with whom you have a community connection after winning a championship.

There are zero right ways to do it.

So every single person who actually wants this is going to do it wrong and they're just degrees of wrong.

There is no right.

The customer here wants to feel good.

Her feel good.

And Yannis is going to take it away.

And Yannis wants to treasure that and doesn't want to disrespect the organization.

Yannis has been in public until now, not unlike Damien Lillard who also didn't want to do this.

A model citizen in every way who carries himself as the utmost of professional pillars.

He has nothing in his past that is not exemplary.

What?

That relationship with that community matters to him and should he did boo his own fans.

Okay.

Greg, he's got a long resume of stuff that is simply positive.

Agreed.

But he did boo.

That's the right way to do this because there is no right way to break up with a franchise that loves you and a franchise you've loved back.

I'll tell you, I think he may be actually going about this the wrong way.

Instead of saying that he wants a trade to a new team, he's telling you he wants a new home.

He's telling you he doesn't want to live in Milwaukee anymore.

Milwaukee says home.

He wants to live somewhere else.

He doesn't want to play for it.

He's not telling us anything.

He wants a new home.

He's not telling us anything.

Shoms is reporting something.

He also doesn't even live in Milwaukee.

I've heard he lives in Chicago and just makes the commute to new home.

That's a long commute.

That's a two hour commute.

For the purpose drove like 17 hours from San Diego.

Tell me what you had up.

What?

Me?

Make it what up?

You think he drives two hours through a game?

Yeah.

It's only 90 minutes.

Stu got to did that with work every day.

Why do you think he gets tired?

Yes.

Every day he was driving two hours.

And then we could got a new home somehow.

I would refinance the lot.

I will tell you that if the heat somehow come to a deal for Yannis

that involves Terry Rosier.

Somehow.

And then the NBA turns around and says you can't trade that contract.

What are you going to do?

And someone else swoops in.

I'm not going to do it.

I know some heat fans that would storm the NBA headquarters

that makes January six look like nothing.

I know people that would do that.

Definitely not me.

You're a coward.

The only thing I can do is to get out the NBA and to make January six

was nothing.

Talk to him.

Could you imagine the doors were wide open, casual, brick wall.

I'll lose my I'm just telling you right now.

If that's what happens,

as is one of the ones.

It could be him.

If that's sewing me all the way to make January six.

To make January six.

an American flag.

We don't like that guy anymore.

He turned us back on us.

Matter of fact, Adam Silver, if the heat

make this trade and the include Terry

was his contract, and you void it,

Adam Silver, I dare you to do that.

You have not talked to a camera that way

since the scarred head of Craig Barubi.

I'm a little worried now about our funding

of Pablo's operation.

Yeah.

This is going to be the thing.

Now you're worried about it.

Now you're worried about it.

What, where's it?

To where?

Miami.

Clippers are good now, by the way, speaking of that.

Clippers are really good.

I'm waiting for you to turn on the Clippers then.

Because you do this midway through the season,

you're like, wow, the Clippers are the best team

I've ever seen.

Wait a minute.

You did this last year.

I, well, the Clippers.

You did it last year, then.

I saw they're the first team ever

to, at one point, lose 16 out of 19

and at one point, win 16.

And the Clippers fan ate the tweet, by the way.

Did you see that?

Eight the whole thing.

The Clippers last year lost in the first round in game seven

and that team was absolutely good enough to beat OKC.

And I end up being wrong for eternity

because James Harden, I trusted him in game seven.

But Zubach and Kauai and James Harden is a Zubach.

Yes, excuse me.

The, that's a, that is a three sum that is formidable.

And it didn't make any sense to me

that they were so bad the first 20 games of the season.

Because that team is good.

It's just old.

It takes them a little bit to get going.

But 16 and three in their last 19 years.

Kauai letters playing the best basketball

we've seen in his career.

But when you say though, it takes them a little bit to get going.

Well, you're just, you're describing Nicholas Batum

trying to get out of bed in the morning.

Like you're, you're describing somebody.

Those are some miles on those long, long legs.

That is an old basketball team.

Did you not know that?

No.

Brook Lopez is a Clipper.

He's still doing it.

Wow.

Wow.

Adam Silver, I double dare you.

Not to allow the heat to trade the Rosier contract.

You know what's funny about all of this is that if somehow,

if somehow the heat were able to pull off a trade for Yannis,

you could ultimately thank the fact that Damien Lillard wasn't

traded to Miami because him tearing his Achilles in Milwaukee

is the thing that finally sent them into tank mode

and struggling that led to Yannis finally asking out.

So it might have been a couple years too late

and might have cost you the end of a run with Jimmy Butler.

But theoretically, could end up in a Yannis-Oxtacumpo

situation between the heat, between the nicks,

between the blazers and pelicans and hawks?

What a fascinating day.

Jeremy, you did an OK job today in a lot of different realms.

But how do you feel about this?

They could take off the, if Yannis, I don't feel great.

Professional broadcaster Jeremy Tache

reacting to the breaking news because he's

nimble when things are live.

They could take off the, if Yannis,

we'll say, I'll be on the heat tonight.

If you'd like to tune in, we'll be reporting live

on Kala Ware's probable return.

Three time.

They could take off the, if Yannis.

Everyone are Jeremy Tache, everyone are Jeremy Tache,
