What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Tony is here, and that's exciting because we can talk to him about his domination of heat camp yesterday. Roy, did Zaslow sort of snorting in- Can someone tell me? Did Zaslow snorting in snot end up on air as they were? I thought you say did someone tell you, but I heard five, four, three, two, one, and then the sound of you snorting in snot.
Okay. I'm glad you mentioned that because I've been sitting here with my headphones on and for some reason the volume was completely turned down. How am I supposed to know? Well, you can ask. You can test your... Can I ask what? Royce says 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I'm expecting to hear that. But I didn't hear anything because my volume was turned all the way down and then I'm an asshole because I sniffed really aggressively right into the mic. Unprofessional. Yeah.
Yeah. So Tony is here fresh off his domination of heat camp and I was expecting to see him. The one I wasn't expecting to see was Greg Cody. I thought you were doing penalty kicks today. Why are you here?
There was a snafu involved. I had to insist that it be postponed or cancelled. It just wasn't being presented in the way that I expected. It was not a regulation-sized goal they were planning to use. It was the kind of goal my great, wonderful granddaughter would use in her eight-year-old league. And that's just unacceptable. And the other thing is, catch this, no goalkeeper. So I'm kicking penalty kicks against a cardboard cutout or against the invisible man. It's like going to a darts tournament and they get everything but the dart boards. So through no one's fault, I'm not blaming anybody. But we just couldn't go on with the show.
I'm proud of Greg because he's a sportsman and he doesn't want to be patronized out there. We promised he'd go up against a goalkeeper of a certain level of skill.
Yes, college.
College keeper, I was told. And you give him a little kiddie net and no goalkeeper? Are you kidding me? Yeah. That's a waste of the man's time. Insulting. quite frankly.
All right. So it's been postponed. We've only had, I'm going to say, 15 years to prepare for a goalkeeping challenge between Stugatz, still owes one of those, and Greg. He's getting around to it. And we have yet been able to execute a single one. I actually texted him this morning asking him where he was, Stugatz, on the goalkeeping challenge that he owes us. That was this morning. I sent that text asking him, let's try and get that done soon, shall we? Because there are What are the things that Stugatz owes in terms of payments? Because he owes the... He owes about 50 shows. The freestyle rap that he's supposed to do on the stage of the Clevelander and this goalkeeping challenge. It shouldn't be this hard to do a goalkeeping challenge.
I don't think you're going to... I saw, Greg, I'm going to show the audience today the one example that we have of you trying. And the reason we went no goalkeepers because of the one attempt you took was so bad that a goalkeeper would not have been required. You would have been 0 for 1 if no one had been in the net at all. And if the net had been twice as long, you would have been 0 for 1.
Everybody makes a bad shot once in a while.
Why did Greg cancel the long-awaited penalty-kick challenge?
Even the greats. You think Lionel Messi makes every penalty kick we've seen otherwise just in this World Cup?
Not that I'm comparing myself to Messi. That is exactly what you just did. You brought up the comparison to say not that I'm comparing myself to him.
You know what? This is a lesson for me to never assume anything because I might have assumed that a necessary, a prerequisite of a penalty kick challenge would have been a goalkeeper in the net. I assumed that. I was totally wrong.

I will begin today's proceedings by reminding you that the President of the United States paid more than $5 million yesterday to another one of his rape victims. Let's move on. France and Spain yesterday. Watching France not be able to get a shot on goal until the 82nd minute was totally crazy after seeing the tournament.
