Greg, the shadow show is not a visual experience.

0

165.628 - 172.244 Unknown

So how would you describe to the people through that mask what it is you're aspiring to today? What is your punishment?

0

173.487 - 187.897 Stugatz

It's not a punishment. I'm foreshadowing what I will actually look like in about 10 minutes. Hopefully 15 plus years when I'm laid to rest. Geez. Why don't you go ahead and fix your mic there, Greg? What's that?

0

187.917 - 213.233 Unknown

15 plus years. Okay, so because it's not a visual experience, nobody knows that you're wearing a skull. A skull. Looking like Skeletor, dog. No crossbones, just the skull. What are you supposed to be doing in terms of grid punishments? I have no, this is not a punishment. This is just you for Halloween? Live and Lie has no grid punishments.

0

213.493 - 229.988 Unknown

Okay, so you just wore this mask because you were in the mood. You already started complaining before we even started that it's too hot, that you're not going to be wearing it all show, but you chose to do this. It's not even something you have to do. You just simply chose to do it? It's a temporary thing. Sure. Okay.

230.008 - 240.74 Stugatz

Yeah, it's like when you put one of those things on Instagram that lasts about a minute and a half, you know It's a disappearing message. Yeah, you see it and then it's gone. Yeah Whatever that is.

241.241 - 251.151 Unknown

I just told you what it is a disappearing message Something like I think I think he meant Instagram story which lasts 24 hours. I did Yeah, but you said it only lasts a couple minutes.

251.412 - 275.974 Stugatz

Oh, I was thinking of What's that thing they used to have that lasted six a vine? I loved Vine. My most popular Vine was, I did one on the 4th of July. And in six seconds, I recited the whole Pledge of Allegiance. You've got to go back. If Vine is still available, you've got to listen to that. Do you think you can do it right now? If Vine is still available.

275.994 - 277.456 Stugatz

In six, seven seconds, I can still do it.

Chapter 3: What were the critical moments in the 18-inning game?

313.26 - 319.306 Unknown

As opposed to Halloween, which is an important spiritual holiday you wouldn't want to disrespect.

0

319.326 - 342.017 Stugatz

Yes, that's right. You know, some people are spooked by Halloween. I have a neighbor up the street. I'm not going to name them here, but they're very religious people. And they do not put up any Halloween directions because they think it disrespects. It's a pagan holiday. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I don't agree with that, man. I got all my decorations up. They look fantastic.

0

342.037 - 343.36 Stugatz

Why are you dragging Roy into this?

0

343.38 - 364.498 Unknown

Roy didn't ask to be dragged into this. That's canon. He's openly admitted that he also doesn't celebrate Halloween. That is correct. We don't celebrate Halloween at the house. Why is that, Roy? Religion. So you are the neighbor that Greg is talking about that all the other neighbors are judging for being anti-costume and name of their god. You don't want to name them, though. I respect that.

0

364.518 - 366.121 Unknown

Look at Greg's face. He's judging, Roy.

367.223 - 373.118 Stugatz

Can you tell? I'm a grinning skeleton.

373.138 - 384.663 Unknown

I'm grinning behind this mask. You're going to last about 15 minutes in this. I can already tell you're going to start complaining very early. Yeah.

384.683 - 388.632 Greg Cody

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

392.645 - 410.198 Unknown

We've got a frozen frenzy tonight, all of the hockey teams playing, and also our baseball is back intro is not yet ready, so we cannot celebrate the greatest baseball game ever played that I don't believe anyone here, except for Jeremy, lasted until the end of.

Chapter 4: How did the broadcasters react to the game's unusual length?

528.07 - 548.365 Unknown

She's like, that person's too old to be dealing with two baseball games, essentially. 18 innings of baseball. And I'm like, but he began the game as a young man, as a toddler. Yeah. He started and he's just 90 now. I wanted them by extra innings. I wanted them to just start putting runners on second again like they do during the regular season.

0

548.465 - 569.144 Unknown

It's dumb that they do it differently during the postseason than they do it during the regular season. The regular season rule is just, hey, let's wrap this up. Well, I mean, we saw that that was the hockey version. That was the Stanley Cup playoff version we saw last night. I mean, we get that game last night, once a playoff in the Stanley Cup playoffs where they end up playing two games.

0

570.026 - 583.427 Unknown

All right, we got it for baseball. Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I saw the game. We don't get a lot of three overtime games in hockey. You'll get it once a postseason. You get one that goes to like 2 a.m. a postseason.

0

583.627 - 599.133 Stugatz

Had it gone 20 innings, Koufax would have been in the bullpen warming up. Look, even if it's a triple overtime hockey game, it doesn't last six hours and 39 minutes. That's excruciating. May it never ever happen again. No, wait a minute.

0

599.153 - 618.911 Unknown

It was brilliant. It was great. It's the greatest baseball game any of us have ever seen. It would have been if it ended in 12. Well, if any of us had seen it. It would have been the greatest baseball game anyone had ever seen if anyone had seen it to completion. I chose to go to bed after 17. I watched the 17th inning in my bed on my phone, and then Otani makes the final out of 17.

618.931 - 627.622 Unknown

I'm like, what am I going to wait? So you stayed up until 2.30 to then just miss one inning of action. Why was 17 a cutoff? Because I'm falling asleep.

628.163 - 635.874 Stugatz

I can tell you why. It was the 7th inning nap. That's what you needed. The 17th inning nap. The 17th inning. The 17th inning nap.

635.894 - 656.481 Unknown

I wish you had a photo, like a... Like a fly on the wall staring at me while I was just crushing pretzels in the 14th inning. Yeah, that's the move, right? In order to stay awake for these late games, like I'll go get a box of Cheez-Its. I'm wandering around my living room. By the 12th inning, I was ready to fall asleep. You got to stand. And so I stood for basically the rest of the game.

656.821 - 682.186 Unknown

And I was just like falling slowly all over the place, stumbling just to keep myself awake so that I could watch what was the most brilliant baseball game I've ever seen. How are we feeling about this over here? Are you green with envy? It's a little dark. I don't know. It's on the line. Can we have like a first base ump to check the swing here? Did he go? Is this racist? Roy? Checking the swing?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the game for the Dodgers' pitching strategy?

682.406 - 702.279 Unknown

Why are you asking Roy? Oh, wow. Thank God. You got to think about it a little bit. I saw that all of a sudden the bolts were being put in Jeremy's neck right before we started. We forgot that part of the costume. I do want to go back for a second on Greg Cody and just marvel at the greatness that is Greg Cody.

0

702.299 - 722.475 Unknown

I have an assortment of Greg Cody sound that we're going to get to in a second from the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. But I just want to sort of rewind on the Telestrator what happened. second to go and warn the audience that we're going to get a worse version of Greg Cody than we usually do because this mask is distracting and will weigh him down. These costumes are hard to do.

0

722.576 - 727.768 Unknown

Every time I do one, I leave here with a headache, like physically leave here with a headache. You look spent yesterday in your big

0

727.748 - 755.072 Unknown

wool suit yeah it was it was hard to do it is hard to do and what greg just did and you will see this deteriorate over the course of the show he tried to make a seventh inning stretch joke about the 17th inning nap he called it the seventh inning nap the joke didn't make any sense he shouldn't have spoken he instead spoke poorly botched the joke then tried to correct it and it wasn't a joke worth telling in the first place even if he had told it correctly it's

0

755.052 - 765.441 Unknown

Seven doesn't divide into 17. Like maybe if it was the 14th, you could have said, you know, the 14th inning stretch. I don't think that saying the 17th inning nap, I don't think anyone correlated that to the 7th inning stretch.

765.461 - 782.477 Stugatz

Yeah, 7th, 17th. Yeah, it worked. If I'd gotten it nailed at first and said the 7th inning nap, it would have killed. But nothing is better for a joke that didn't quite hit than overanalyzing it and reviewing it like this guy just did. You know, that's what really works. So thank you for that.

783.014 - 801.556 Unknown

Let's go back to the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. This is something he's been doing since I've known him as a young, like back when Greg Cody was a young person, there was a time. Greg Cody has been, because he drinks so many beverages, used to be a ton of diet soda as well. He's perpetually burping.

801.736 - 830.233 Unknown

And after he burps, he always closes his burp like a gymnastics routine that has a dismount in it. He always closes his burps with a word of some sort. There's a few. Like, there's a few that he does. The one I've heard most often, I believe the gold medalist is Brad. To just say the word Brad after a burp. What are the bronze, silver, and gold medalists of words that you always say after a burp?

830.654 - 844.948 Stugatz

They... I've been told they sound like words. The one that can be misinterpreted as Brad is probably my most common. And the other one, of course, a lot of people say it or say the sound is sack.

Chapter 6: How does the Miami football team's running strategy affect their performance?

910.868 - 914.633 Unknown

So here's the first one. Like you said, Dan, the most common, it's just a brad.

0
0

917.497 - 924.666 Unknown

That's the most common one you'll hear. Brad. Because it's like you're clearly burping. You could just stop there.

0

925.456 - 933.436 Stugatz

Like, why do you say Brad? To get it out. You know, you're loosing into the wild the burp.

0

934.178 - 941.136 Unknown

Alright, and this one is from this most recent episode. We were doing Greg Doesn't Know Movies, and this one's my favorite. We got a sack in the wild.

942.061 - 969.853 Unknown

what's next moving on a sack what i think i think i think damn it luckily we can isolate okay what's next moving on a sack explain yourself my favorite part was michael going wait what i i can't explain that it's just a sound that comes out and we've Your mic wasn't on.

970.033 - 975.961 Stugatz

And we punctuate with asswipe. What are you doing tonight? You got anything fun going on?

977.743 - 978.464 Unknown

Let's try it again.

978.684 - 985.173 Stugatz

Swipe. Asswipe. What are you doing tonight? You got anything fun going on?

Chapter 7: What criticisms are being leveled at Miami's offensive coordinator?

1101.518 - 1124.772 Unknown

So I don't think of—well, I guess I could say that certain best players in franchise histories are pitchers. But when you play once every fifth day, I don't think of you as— I think Mike's right. I think it's Chipper. I think Mike's right. But I will tell you, I feel like, is Freddie Freeman the most likable player in baseball? No. No? No. Why do you say that? His teeth.

0

1125.273 - 1142.7 Unknown

Those teeth were gleaming. Those perfect fake teeth were gleaming as he rounded the bases. They are perfect. Looks like the mask. They are perfect. They are too perfect. Your objection is that they're- Your objection is that they're too perfect. Matt Dillon in Something About Mary. What are we doing? He's so likable, Freddie Freeman. How do you not root for him?

0

1143.38 - 1170.854 Unknown

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do Freddie Freeman's teeth look like Matt Dillon in Something About Mary? What a movie. They do look a bit oversized, and they do look a little bit too perfect, especially perfect while rounding the bases. How many of you, Roy, did you... I know that Chris... reached out to his father and asked him by text, how far, how deep did you get into the game?

0

1170.894 - 1176.023 Unknown

And he said, by the time the Chiefs scored the third touchdown, I was out. So that's not that game.

0

1176.224 - 1188.726 Stugatz

The World Series, the fourth touchdown. When the football game scored, became 28-7, I went to bed. I don't know exactly when that was in the baseball game. Probably like the seventh inning.

1188.706 - 1209.033 Unknown

Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. Marty Supreme, Christmas Day. You know what I'm going to be doing on Christmas Day, and it's going to be watching Marty Supreme because I didn't even need to know that critics were calling Marty Supreme a full throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I already knew that was going to be the case.

0

1354.925 - 1376.817 Stugatz

I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. Oh, that would be a great call. Up, up, and away.

0

1376.837 - 1379.341 Stugatz

That kind of swing, that kind of thing.

1379.542 - 1382.907 Greg Cody

This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugats.

1385.823 - 1405.634 Unknown

It was, Jeremy, I want some of your thoughts as someone who did get to the end of that baseball game. There have to be some statistics from that game that have never been seen in the history of the sport. I don't think that Dodger fans were more nervous at any point than when Clayton Kershaw was in the game with the bases loaded.

1405.694 - 1413.045 Unknown

And my guess is that they were questioning Dave Roberts, even though he went lefty on lefty, for bringing in Clayton Kershaw in that spot.

1413.025 - 1433.852 Unknown

I'm so happy that Clayton Kershaw got that out because the last outing of Clayton Kershaw's postseason was a total disaster and would have been the punctuation on his Dodger career where he's just sort of hanging on as the greatest left-hander ever to just get a ring that he didn't deserve because he wasn't doing much of anything effective by the end.
