So do your thing and head to crocs.com or a store near you now. This is the Don Levertars show with the Stugat Spatcast. This episode of The Don Levertars Show is presented by Draft King Sports, Draft Kings. The crown is yours. Let's go. I have some chiefs thoughts that I think are more macro and a lot bigger than what it is, the hyperventilation of the moment will be today because we analyze for some reason

2:01some of these things around greatness week to week. We were just talking about Josh Allen at 30 and Dan Marino in his 30s. And what you saw from the chiefs last night, macro, okay? That's exactly how a good organization with a good coach allow their injured quarterback who is aging and not as mobile as he used to be, but still excellent. That's how you allow a great quarterback to age with grace. You get him a running game in the off season and you just protect him. And what they did last night organizationally, never mind what they did to the Broncos, okay? Because Sean Payton will not catch that team. Like Sean Payton will not do that with Bonix. Organizational if you're gonna be better as an organization going and getting Kenneth Walker, they don't do 20 yard runs. They used to be deep all over the place. They can't even do that anymore. That's not, they can't get down the field that way. So they reinvented themselves in the off season and they got the Super Bowl MVP and everyone tells us the running back is disposable and you don't have to pay him and Derek Henry,

3:02you can get him for $10 million a year. And that's how you protect my homes right there. It's not even offensive line. It's just keep, start the season. Just keep giving the ball to Kenneth Walker. But before we get into the whole of that game because I do think a number of things where you're interesting there, including Sean Payton telling his wife that Jalen Waddle is someone she should pick up and fitness it. Two yards was as long as catch last night. It was his only catch. I'm telling you, it's important the way these things are built, but when you have the quarterback, you can do everything in that sport. And they obviously, the chiefs have the quarterback and everyone's chasing them again. But I watched that game like I've never watched a game before because in the first half, I thought I heard something again and again and again and I could not tell. And so instead of watching the second half, I went back and rewatch the first half so that I could do this with you guys. This is what Troy Ackman, the ESPN has the Super Bowl this year. This is what Troy Ackman said. The Denver roster is as deep as any in football.

4:02Read understands as much as anyone in football that they've got to run the football. Pat Bryant had as good a camp as anyone in football. Denver has his deep a wide receiver room as anyone in football. Denver has as good a secondary as there is in all of football. Trent McDuffy is as good as anyone in all of football. That was the first quarter, first quarter, second quarter. Denver is as good as any defense in football, even though they don't take the ball away. Denver plays as much man as anyone in football. Kenneth Walker is his patient as anyone in football. Riley Moskets targeted as much as anyone in football. I don't believe you. Denver is as good an offensive line as there is in football. Vance Joseph is as good a defensive coordinator as there is in all of football. Sean Payton is as good a play caller as there is in all of football. Cortland Sutton is as good as anyone in football winning one on one. I don't believe you. I went back and wrote it. I didn't believe it. Like I'm like that can't that can't be how I'm hearing this. I'm listening passively. I went back. I didn't see the second half. I went back and watch the first half and just took all of those notes. I'm not I did not watch the second half of that football game

5:05because I'm like, am I hearing this right? Like how is this what's happening here where it's just everyone in this game and the next game and everyone Ackman does is as good as anyone in football. Are you comfortable saying you're the only one who experienced that game like this last night? Yes. I'm not making that up. And I the reason that I did it is because like did I hear that right? It just seemed like because I never noticed it before. It just seemed like that was the go to on everything. And I'm not saying those two teams aren't very good, but one of them didn't make the playoffs last year. I watched the game on mute last night because I was watching my stories. You see that Roman. See how Roman reigns last night. Holy shit. Damn, he's so good. It was crazy though as a Cowboys fan a reluctant Cowboys fan is that he does not do that when he calls Cowboys games. He mercilessly, flates pretty much the entire roster. It was like here. I mean, Dan, look at my tribal chief here. Look at him. Come on. Look at him. Just soaking it in.

6:06That was in Mexico. CP pent on Mexico City match of the year candidate last night. Ah, he's unbeatable. What are you laughing about Cody? Just zazzes and fatuation with pro wrestling as always am using to me. The game last night, Denver loses. And I don't know whether I'm being fair about doing this to Bo Nix, but I just don't want him at the end. Like if you're going to give me any of the great quarterbacks in this sport, and I've got that one that needs the defense to be great in order for him to be great, I'd rather have the quarterbacks that can win like Caleb Williams just did, whether his defense is great or not. I understand that Sean Peyton can mix and match. Do you guys see that story that came out that they were thinking about going with Drew Breeze in the AFC Championship game last year instead of what was it? Jared Stidem is that that so they called a 47 year old Drew Breeze because Sean Peyton, that would have how great would that have been? What wouldn't we all have wanted that? I mean, we were all into Philip Rivers returning

7:07for regular meaningless regular season games. Can you imagine if Drew Breeze is going to play the AFC Championship game? How is that even allowed by the way? He hasn't been on the team the whole year to have a new quarterback for the title game? My eyes agree with you on this, Dan. I feel the same way about Bonix, but he also has the most fourth quarter comebacks of any quarterback in the history of football. He's as good as anyone in football in their first two seasons. I'm not actually talking about the end of games. I'm talking about the end of seasons. I'm talking about what I use my quarterback to be at the very end of things where, yeah, Donald can win the championship if his defense is that good, but I prefer to have the quarterback that I know. Look, Josh Allen may never win a Super Bowl, okay? But I prefer to have him just simply because even if your defense is good, he does what he did to Houston on Sunday. And so I just rather have the quarterback. And I don't even actually mean it as a knock on Bonix. I don't. It's just in the game that I'm watching last night

8:09if both defenses are about equal. I mean, they loaded that that was a substantive trade that they made for Waddle. Like they're they are building around Bonix as if they think that him and that offense can take them over the top. And it presumes a that defense is recreatible from year to year and B Denver doesn't cause turnovers. They're a good defense, but last year for whatever the reason was, they don't get the football. And I prefer a defense like Houston. I prefer a defense that goes and creates chaos plays that makes the other quarterback lose the football. Bronco fans are annoyed right now with Jalen Waddle, right? Even it's one game, but like they scored 10 points last night against a team that, you know, it's not really known for being great defensively and Waddle does nothing. Like they're definitely mad last night, right? The building of those organizations is interesting to me because the chiefs are the standard, okay? And what Sean Peyton just did in the off season, they were saying during the broadcast last night that the Bronco's offensive line is the best in football.

9:09They went and got him a bunch of receivers. Like when they, it's not just Jalen Waddle, it's as deep a wide receiver room as there is in football according to, according to Troy Ackman, the way the Broncos are built, they're at their ceiling. You know what the chief ceiling is. I kind of think that this is like a argument, not to say it's because I'm an organ alum and I'm trying to find ways to carry water for bonics, but like, do we just forget that Buffalo game existed and that he broke his ankle? It was like, well, we had 27, 23 with four minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, bonics, deep left to Marvin Mims for 26 yards and they go to overtime. Like, and he wasn't able to play the next game because his ankle was broken. So like, I think almost beating the bills in a postseason game is pretty good. Well, the bills are made to lose in the postseason. So Josh Allen, I mean, that's the argument against Josh Allen and the bills is that they're pretty great

10:10in the regular season and then what have you done for me lately in January. I think the story of the game we're talking about is Kansas City proving everybody wrong. A year ago, everybody except Nick Wright was going the windows closed, my homes is done. He's not gonna come back. And now in Walker, they've given him a way to age gracefully and that Kansas City defense is pretty damn good and with a running game, my homes is going to be my homes again. Okay, wait a minute, though, he's never had a running game. They've never had a thousand year of rusher in the my homes era. Like, not one, it's the longest streak in the sport. Not necessarily because they didn't have a guy who was good enough, it's because that is not in the rim up. Understood, but what they just showed you last night is no, we'll beat you this other way. Like, that's what I find interesting. People are gonna be talking about Patrick's back or the chiefs are back. They're back in a different form. This is a different football team. And what I'm telling you about the quarterback that the chiefs have after having the discussion

11:12about Josh Allen and Dan Marino and do you trade someone like that in your early thirties? Patrick Mahomes is playing with a knee brace. I'm actually surprised he was able to play in that game that only took him nine months in order to get back. That first quarter, he's throwing the ball all over the place. He was like three for 13 and they're saying Pat's back just because he runs into the end zone. But they won that game because they got the Super Bowl MVP in their backfield and they don't have big play offense running ever. They don't have that. They threw the ball down the field. That's more 20 yard runs and you will see from that team all of last season. This is what they're going to be all of this year. Like Kenneth Walker's good runner. They're gonna protect their quarterback who clearly came back really quick from that injury. It'll get really interesting next year. Like, are they going to stick with being this team or when Mahomes is a year removed from the surgery, do they go back to putting the ball in his hands for most of the game? I think they'll put the ball in his hands this year. I don't think they're going to wait. If the Kenneth Walker we saw is the ground game

12:14they have all season. If he's a guy among the lead leaders in rushing, defensive is going to start to stack the box and go, we don't have to worry about Mahomes that much anymore. And that's when Mahomes is going to have the 38 attempt big game like you. I'm not actually that interested in how Mahomes looked or didn't look. To me organizationally, when you go and pay that much for the Broncos and then pay that much for Sean Payton, it's because you think that he and his management is going to give you an advantage. And against this guy, it's not. Against this organization, it's not. You passed them last year because, yes, Bo Nick broke his ankle, but they lost their quarterback. And so they fixed it. What they've done is fixed it, but they didn't fix it the way you thought they were going to fix it. Tyree Kill isn't going back to the chief so that they can beat you with plays down the field. What they've now learned, this is the part of Mahomes's career to me that we'll be fascinating to find out if he is indeed like the all time greatest.

13:15It's the next 10 years, not the first 10. It's whatever happens next with how it is that they manage the fact that we all know he's great, but he's not going to be able to play that style. Just look at what he has learned over the last few years. That team is so dangerous because on 3rd and 9, it doesn't matter when he drops back. He will either convert the 3rd and 9, or he'll run for 9 and a half yards. That dissipates as you age. It already has injured his body. They used to beat you way down the field. Now he's learned, I can dink and dunk you too. I'll do 12 play drives. I can do that kind of patient. And also in my big ego filled return to football, everyone's waiting. I'm the biggest star in the sport, right? I'm going to hand off to start the game four straight times. And I'm going to just keep giving the ball to Kenneth Walker on the first try. And we're going to write down the field on what you told me was the best defense in football, Troy Ackman. It's a little bit weird when you think about it, right? Like last night, I'm watching the game. And my son, my 14-year-old walks in the room

14:17and Kenneth Walker with the hand. And I'm like, oh, Kenneth Walker's now on the chiefs. Like, that's a suitoral MVP. They just let the suitoral MVP walk. And you remember, you had that weird moment right at the Seahawks Championship parade where the owner was like, hey, Kenneth started a negotiating to contract me. We're not letting them go anywhere. He is a suitoral MVP. Oh, but this is what I believe, though, that the greatest organizations do. And this is how evolution happens in sports and in fiscal places where people are inventive. Oh, you're going to undervalue something? Okay, give me the market inefficiency of you don't think a running back should be paid very much. I'm going to show you in my organization that I can do something with that. It's not a coincidence that the Ravens got Derek Henry. The Ravens have been a great organization for 25 years. And it's titan should have kept him. You can make the argument that Derek Henry at $10 million last year was the entire market telling you that's all he's worth.

15:17And that's exactly what the best hedge fund managers and the best leaders exploit when the rest of the sport is undervaluing something. They figure out how to make that something that's resourceful, economical, and allows Patrick Mahomes to age. The Chiefs also have a great opportunity here to get off to a hot start. Like since they won that game last night, their next game is Sunday night hosting in Dean Appalus and then they're at the Dolphins. Like they're going to be three and a half heading into another divisional game in week four. Well, I think what's also really interesting is some of the other smaller moves that the Chiefs have made. You get Emmett Johnson as a rookie in the fifth round. And he looked awesome. He was a dope award semi-finalist. And I think the thing that was stunning to me was undrafted rookie Khalil Benson as the left tackle. And it just works. Their talent evaluation is incredible. And what impresses me most is that they didn't get an aging Kenneth Walker hoping to eat one or two more years

16:17out of them. They got a 25 year old running like even for that position. That's young. That's coming into his prime. Kenneth Walker is going to be a supreme running back really for the rest of Patrick Holmes' prime. They're well set. I don't think they have great receivers. They need to remedy that. But they're well set at quarterback and running back for the foreseeable user. Has there ever been a Super MVP that immediately left his team? Yeah. James Washington did when he went from Dallas to Tampa after winning the Super Bowl MVP. I don't know if that's the last one or not. My favorite part of the football season is the confidence everybody has before kickoff. Zazel already knows how the game is going to end. Tony has studied every possible matchup and Chris Cody has convinced his fantasy team is unbeatable. Then the game starts, everything immediately goes off the rails and suddenly nobody remembers making any of those predictions. That's why a legendary game day starts with a nice cold Miller

And the Super Bowl MVP, when you guys talk about what is happening in this sport when it comes to the running back. Derek Henry, what he did Sunday, I know that we're a bit numb to it, but Derek Henry being still this kind of great after having an enormous workload in the SEC at Alabama, you would think that the body would wear down. I was saying to you guys yesterday,

20:20hey, that eagle's offensive line. They can't keep playing like that every year with their mulling, everyone mulling, everyone. And their bodies don't deteriorate. How does Derek Henry, like in terms of physical specimens in that sport, is there one whose success is more inexplicable in terms of longevity? Then that one, like, how is that body not breaking down? I just, I, the answer to that question, I, for me, is, I don't know, but I, I think we really need to have a conversation about Derek Henry being the best running back of all time. This is his 11th year. He, and you know the way, the reason they don't want to pay running backs anymore is because like, hey, four, five, maybe six years, chew him up, spit him out. This guy, every year is getting over 300 calories. He's in his 11th year. He doesn't look close to slowing down. He's never injured. If you tell, you tell me he's going to continue performing like this. He's in year 11. He's going to continue performing like this for another few years. We, we shouldn't rightfully be having a conversation that this guy is the best ever.

21:22Prisoner of the moment. So the three, that's a good segment. See if you get imaging for that, where it's just a bunch of people shouting prisoner of the moment. The three candidates are Barry Sanders, Emmett Smith and Jim Brown. Correct. That's who you're putting it in the pantheon. Oh, you're putting him on the Mount Rushmore. Correct. You're already saying Derek Henry, put it on the poll at Lebitar Show. Does Derek Henry belong right now on the Mount Rushmore of best running backs ever? Greg, you are not a prisoner of the moment. Right. Am I missing anybody when I say it's Emmett Smith? It's Barry Sanders and it's Jim Brown. I don't know if I'd start with Emmett. For me, it's Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, maybe Adrian Peterson, maybe Lydany and Tom Linson. I think Derek Henry is knocking on the mountain. He's knocking. I'm with my dad. He's knocking on the mountain. He's knocking on the mountain, but he's not there. Why is he knocking on the mountain? Because the door wasn't there, so he picked the mountain. Knock on the mountain. Knock on the mountain. I kind of see what they were getting at, you know.

22:24Yeah. Do you? Because I don't. I don't know what he's doing there. I don't know like the Maclatchee people. Oh, okay. They were knocking on the mountain. The fastball, the fastball is starting to lose. What does that mean? See, here's the thing. If you say knocking on the door, you're accused of spouting a cliche. I'm not big on cliches. So knocking on the mountain, what happened is not... But you're not doing anything if you're knocking on the mountain. No, what happened is I just invented a future cliche. No. But people are from generations from now. People are saying he's knocking on the mountain, man. Greg, Greg, you're knocking on the door. I've heard the saying. You're knocking on the door, somebody opens the door. You're knocking on the mountain. You're just a fool who's knocking on a mountain. Like what? No, because it's Mount Rushmore. You know what they say? The four stone faces are looking down, going, who's knocking? Knock, knock, knock, knock, on the mountain door. Doors have mountains, mountains have doors. Oh, don't. Yeah, they do. Doors have mountains. Mountains have doors. Okay. Yeah. Listen to me. Mount Rushmore has a door. I've heard a lot of people say it's the railings of a loon. Oh boy. Mount Rushmore has a door. I would like to.

23:24So you're knocking on the mountain of Mount Rushmore. Yes. That's what he was saying. Yeah, that's what he was trying to say. And when he the poo, there's a door in a tree. There you go. Very helpful. Thank you. Okay. People, I wish McClatchy had laid you off. Okay. Mount Rushmore is clean. The faces on Mount Rushmore are cleaned once every couple of years, I believe. When the team goes up there to steam clean the big nose of what's his name? There's a door there. That's really disrespectful. Oh boy. The giant, giant features on Mount Rushmore. Here's noses. Yeah. So he's knocking. Anyway, anyway, getting back to that dare can where he's knocking on the mountain. For me, he's not there yet. So forgive me. I should have put Walter Peyton where I put him at Smith, but now we've got a problem. We're doing a show. Now he's knocking on the mountain. We're doing a show about best running backs ever. Yes. That's the problem. Well, we're really doing a show about doors and mountains. And by the way, the gym brown estate would like a word. I mentioned him already. I'm ready. The whole boy. Derek Henry almost 2700 carries in his career in the NFL.

24:26600 carries at Alabama. Can you put them next to each other in terms of yards per carry? Please touch down. Give me some stats to support your argument, Zez, instead of just doing the prisoner of the moment of shouting the guy I'm watching now is the best guy ever. Derek Henry is 4.9. Barry Sanders was five. Emmett Smith, 4.2. Give me a moment here. You know, Emmett was a little bit of a compiler at the end of his career. Give me a moment for the other guys. That's fine. Just make the argument a little bit more arithmetic in it because I don't know where the touchdown numbers are. This is also an aesthetic thing, right? Because a couple of the other guys that I mentioned don't run like Derek Henry does. Derek Henry, and this is something that I celebrate in the storytelling. The reason gym brown got to be the best ever is because gym brown was the most menacing man on a field filled with violence. Barry Sanders and Walter Payton were very good at avoiding it. They weren't running over a whole lot of people.

25:26What Derek Henry is doing is more physically violent than other people. Yeah, he's more in the style of Larry Zonka, Franco Harris, guys like that. But by the way, this is just... No, no, no, no, Greg, but that's the part that's not right though. He runs away from secondaries. Like, he's not getting caught from behind by anybody. He's got a 99 yard run. He's got screen passes that are 80 yards. That is not Larry Zonka. That is not a guy who's just big and bruising. That's not even an old Campbell. That's an old Campbell, and he's faster than anyone on the field. That's the part that doesn't make sense 11 years in. I don't know. I disagree with you on the on Derek Henry's running side. What was that? It's your inner monologue. It's what it is. It's your inner monologue. It's what it is. I didn't tell my inner monologue was here today. I'm going to go. Okay, I'll tell you guys what happened. He got the joy of the first hour. He's got nothing left. He just, we talked about him, him, his laying off, and he's out of material. No, I got everything left. I just invented knocking on a mountain. And by the way, Mount Rushmore is now referred to as Mount Rushdoor from this point forward.

26:29Why wasn't it just knocking on the mount, Paz? Knocking on the mountain has a ring to it, I think. Can you get closer to the microphone? Yes, please. It's just very self-satisfied with everything that's happened around here so far. I'm trying to enjoy myself. Here canry 45440 at that size. Pretty good. And that power, that's insane. Yeah. Look at him next to Mark Ingram. I think that we can, when I'm talking some about how we're in the age of mastery, I do believe these two things that I'm about to say are not prisoner of the moment. I think you can make the argument, the Russell Westbrook in terms of athleticism, is the most athletic person in the history of basketball. I think you can form the argument just in terms of athleticism. And I think that we can make the argument that Derek Henry, there has never been a physical specimen like that at the running back position. I might not make him the best running back of all time, but I will say there has never been that in a backfield. Adrian Peterson was big. He wasn't this.

27:29He was. I can't shake though. I need to shake Derek Henry's hand before I can really assess this. So we've gotten to the point though, Greg, where the running back everyone tells us is disposable, but the Super Bowl MVP was a running back. And last night, a running back has been gotten by a great organization to protect this part of Patrick Mahomes's career. How could that have gone much better in terms of soft landing for Patrick and that you weren't asking him to do very much last night? I know. And he wasn't that good, Patrick Mahomes. He was 15 for 27. That's inaccurate by his standards. He had some rust on him. He had the kind of off game by his standards that if they didn't have that running game, I'm not saying they would have lost because they won't handle it. And Kansas City's defense is forever underrated. But now he didn't have to do everything for the first time in his career. Did you watch the game fully? Did you go to bed early? I watched him. It was watching Roman Reigns come on, son.

28:30I was not watching Roman Reigns or whatever his name is, but I live in a house with a woman who loves award shows. Your box score watcher. You're watching the Emmys. No, here's what happened. I was forced to watch a lot of the Emmys. You know about that Mariska Harketay? Whatever you said, I agree with you. And then four or five times during the Emmys, I'm like, let's go back to the football game just to see, you know, just to see. Only you had nine TVs in your house. Well, we only had one of them on. So to your point, did I watch every minute of the game? Because the part that threw me was when you were like, they won the game, Handley. And there was a moment there when Denver turned the ball, turned Kansas City over. That interception, that interception late in the game, which I had to stay up for, because I thought we needed to be prepared by watching the game. Just clearly you didn't want to do. Yeah, I really didn't. No, but I love that the Emmys had an honorary. Why are the Emmys on on a Monday? I know, because it's on NBC and they had Sunday night football performance.

29:32Yeah, but Dolly Parton got her props on the Emmys, which was nice. Even though nobody associates Dolly Parton with TV, do they? What's up with that? TV Emmys or TV? It was misplaced, misplaced honorarium. Anyway, I did not watch all the game. Whoa, that is the first negative Dolly Parton opinion I've heard. He's bringing back the Scott Mitchell column. I'm blaming, I refer to it as the damn Reno column. I'm blaming the channel. I'm blaming the Emmys a TV award show for honoring someone not associated with TV. That's all. She deserves everything. I love Dolly Parton. Always have. College football is back. So, Hilton called to me the superstition concierge to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you.

31:34Down Levitar! Can't wait for 39. Yeah, can either. 40 comes first. Do you know what 40 is yet? Not yet. See, what are we doing? Greg, did you just laugh? Did you just laugh out loud at something Lewis said in your ear? Greg Cudi! Yes. I couldn't help it, it was funny. Yeah, we do. Thanks Lewis. Yeah, we did. Greg and the goose. Of course. Choking the frog. I mean, there's a million of them. Of course. Half of them would sound dirty if we keep doing it. This is the down Levitar show! I got some numbers here for you Dan. For best running backs ever. Are you ready for this? All right, here we go. Walter Peyton played 13 years. 10 of those he had over 1,000 yards. 4.4 yards to carry 110 total touchdowns. Emmett Smith, 15 years, 11 with 1,000 yards. 4.2 yards per carry. All time leader 164. You ran this down Dan?

32:35Jim Brown, nine years. Only nine years Jim Brown, seven of those 1,000 yard seasons. 5.2 yards per carry, 106 touchdowns. Barry Sanders, 10 years, all 10,000 yards. 5 yards to carry 99 touchdowns. And finally Derek Henry, he's in his 11th year. He's at 7,000 yard seasons. 4.9 yards to carry. 122 touchdowns. Third most all time. If he plays another four seasons, he will definitely surpass Emmett Smith. That's a lot. Maybe three seasons, maybe three. Oh, but now he makes, if you were just listening, I know Chris wasn't, because he tunes out as soon as a first number is uttered. He does not like to do arithmetic. Who won there? I wasn't listening. He won. He's Derek Henry in four years if he stays healthy. Like if he'll have numbers that eclipse, what? What won? Are you ready for the catchphrases? Always. It was a layout. Let's do the catchphrases now. Let's go where are we? It's one. Yeah, you mentioned that. OK. You can never mention it enough.

33:36The catchphrases are down to number two. But after we reveal number two, we have a major announcement to make. Oh, now. Ooh. Are you ready? Well, OK. I think I am. Can I ask just a really quick question about the who won? Yeah, why did you like that? Yeah, no, that's what I'm asking about. Is why do you say it? It's kind of like with a tremble. Like an old woman? Oh, one. Yeah, haunting. Like that, if you put that in an audio haunted house, please create that for me. Who won? Yes. The who won being spoken in his room? We're going to create our own haunted house. Well, this is Halloween and that will be in the future. This is haunting. She's right when she says that if I'm walking through a house that is creepy at midnight. And I don't know whether I'm alone and I don't know if the spirit world is involved in what it is that I'm experiencing. And I hear this from behind the wall. Who won? Terrifying. Tristan, answer your question. It's his mom, my grandma. We would always play golf, me, my dad, and my uncle.

34:37I am like 20 strokes better than both of them. So it's very obvious every time who won. But we would come back from golf in my sweet little 90s something year old grandma would just be like, who won? And it was always me. I would love that explanation for all 70 of these. I think we need to have a bit of an oral history on all of them. So people have some record keeping. Yeah, my mom's been asking me to go by the house and just look through some things so that I know what everything in the family means. I think you should have somewhere an oral history as an heirloom. All 70 explanations for what these things meant. Because when he's gone, no one's going to care. Well, here's the thing. Yeah, people will care. The catchphrase countdown will live on. I know, but it needs to live on. On the most rushed door of podcast bits. Number 70. Number 70, I'm full of them, Vern Fuller. 69, where's my click, click, click, 68. Hey, butter ringer. 67th punt.

35:3866. Scranton. 65. I'm busier than one arm paper hanger. 64. Georgia. Georgia. 63. I'm the kind of guy that 62 ball on the jack. 61. Hey, hey, with a monkey. Maybe 60. Thank you, Billy. 59. I love him like a pet. 58. Who made it a salad? 57. We're rolling now. 56. Your brain beaten me. 55. Let's go. States. 54. Driver comfort is paramount. 53. Dummy up. Save up. 52. Catch his catch can. 51. Doesn't make it right. 50. So on and so forth. 49. Very good. 48. The little league theory. 47. Nice hat. 46. The others. What's the hat? What's the hat? Zazlo was wearing a hat and he called him an ass. That's true. That is the etymology there. Wow. Very, very inside baseball. That's a good point. What kind of hat was it? A backward cap. So like just the Zaz cap. Yes. It was just the first time you saw the Zaz cap. Wow. I botched this. He botched it. It was Pete Blackburn.

36:38This is why you have to do an oral history. Oh yeah. You're right. Because no one's going to remember when he's gone. I'll never forget. It was Blackburn. Blackburn singing in the dead of night. That's right. No classic. Okay. Keep going. All right. Nice hat. 46. The others. They all learn from me. 45. Don't go. Show her in. To try to please me. 44. Look at that. He's wrong. He's wrong. He's like watching Zaz give a take about the Marino column. And then he's like nice hat. Yeah. He was yelling at the Blackburn. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

37:38No. Don't go. Shower. No. No. It's like a packing house in here. They should be hams hanging from hooks. 42 would you learn? 41. He hob three? 40. But I'm going to take a quiz. 39. Sasaיפras. 38. We'll break a window. Thirty seven. How long? Thirty six. One. Thirty five. 33, three words. Wait, yeah. What was that? You're gonna eat a peck of dirt before you die. A peck? A peck. Nanna Dugio has said that. It's basically a peck is way bigger than you'd actually think. It's like a big sack. So it's basically saying don't be a germafo because you have to eat a whole peck of dirt before you die. You know about that, Nanna Dugie? You don't know, but you don't have to eat any dirt before you die. I think the saying is just don't be a hyper-conjure act because there's gonna be so much crap in your system. You gotta eat a peck of dirt anyways. Yeah. You drop a piece of food on the floor, you pick it up, you notice it's got a couple of, you know, the floor stuff on it.

38:38Eat it anyway. I can't believe that you're someone who picks up a piece of food off the floor, but not the dogs. Five second rule. But he puts it in his mouth. Yeah. Pasta five second rule. The five second rule is real. It's not just something that somebody made up. Anyway, where was I? You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die. You gotta, you do. You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die. I lost my spot now. Well, Tristan really threw a wrench and the whole thing didn't she? Yeah. You're like a dog with a bone. You've gotten rich, she's brain-beaten yet. You've gotten really good at just going through it. And she's got questions. Some of these questions are valid. Like, I don't know. I'm guessing we should do a game show. I'm gonna quiz you guys on this and I'm guessing you don't know the etymology of half of these. Well, here's the thing. On the Greg Cody show podcast, when we reveal these- With Greg Cody? Yeah. I'm gonna quiz for the first time every week. An etymology is attached. Like I will explain the origin of that. And I will give credit when it's due if I'm picking that up from somebody else.

39:39Like obviously, you know, I didn't invent the phrase, trailers for Sailor Rent. That's a popular song back in the 60s. But I perloined it and put my spin on it and now it's mine. Perloined? I perloined it. Stole it. Yeah. Where was I? Here we go. You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die. For 33, three words, we are the Lobos. 32, you're gonna go to Buffalo. You're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie. That's four words. She got me on that one. You can't put anything over her. Okay. Uh, 31, Rappi-Cack. Huh. 30 and- Okay. You're not doing that. Oh, boy. All right. 31, Rappi-Cack. 30 and-other crisis assault. 39, 29. Nice chatting with him. 28, he ain't heavy. He's my blank. 27. Hey, that's what I'm talking about.

Jack, 19, gotta wanna learn, gotta wanna earn. 18, put a Lobos meant under your pillow and- Dream. 17, quite of it. 16, take the rest of the day off. 15, do what now? 14, right on. 13, who shot John? 12, if I had a hammer, 11 or 12. 12, if I had a hammer, 11 or 12. 13, who shot John? 12, if I had a hammer, 11, rap, rap, rap. They call them the rapper. That's where the WR, not an RAP. 10, do what you're satisfied. 9, me maximum. 8, the burp suite. Brad, ass wipe, sack, and yike. 7. What? What's that one? The last one? Yeah, that. It's the word what?

41:42It's the word what? It's elongated and repeated. It's just like saying in a high voice. An exaggeration when someone says something shocking, it's what? What? So a chicken. Yeah, it's got a little chicken quality. A chicken that says what, but it's shocked. Right, from a distance. 6, Zagaki, 5, baby. 4, who needs me? 3, and you know it. And now, number 2. You never know. Oh my god, that's not number 1. You know how strong your list is when your top 5 doesn't have Zagaki in it? You know how strong your list is? What is the major news that we have to accompany your catchphrase? Okay, the major news is that the catchphrase countdown has expanded. We'll expand from 70 to 75. What? And here's what's going to happen.

42:42Wait, in previous times, we've just pushed everything back. So that can't be because you never know, can't be number 6. Let me explain. What's going to happen? Beginning next week, we're not going to announce what's number 1. We're going to announce what's number 71 through 75. You can't do it right now. No, this is by popular demand. We're going to pause before... Show me who demanded this. Who's the man? No, it's been demanded. That's not a real discussion. That's not a real discussion. And the board of directors for my podcast narrowly approved this at the last meeting. So what we're going to do is we're going to announce 71 through 75, which are the five that didn't make the top 70. And there's some bangers in there, by the way. You're going to be surprised, like, how's that not in the top 20? So next week, all at once, we're going to announce 71 through 75. Not one week at a time? Nope. And then the following mission. We're going to announce number 1.

43:43Wow. That kind of thing. Nice chatting with you. Who won? You ever look at a bill you've been paying forever and ever and suddenly realize, uh-uh, hold on now. Why am I spending this much?
