half against a sprint you put a beat to start a ball against the spread but against the spread against it did you feel I've been putting consonants in front of all my whole life you guys think his voice sounds good like that's you guys think it's better I'm gonna find a clip I can find a clip that of it being worse Greg again your coffee breakfast and the fact that you eat drink thermoses of coffee for breakfast has made your stomach make a sound while you're talking that you don't hear we have it again this is not altered just so that you hear I can hear the sounds of the gurgling and the dancing swords next to me listen here to what your stomach does coach in this today's landscape something like a cat purring in the middle of it coach in this today's landscape it's AI it's not AI it's a must a must the I is for

our Niverson made that sound are we certain that's Greg see I'm pretty sure because I gotta tell you I got the the high-deaf headphones on those sounds come out of Dan's throat a lot thank you I I didn't want to say it I would like to hear it one more time coach in this today's landscape that yeah that's a Dan one I don't think we know that it's no it's no I've never heard Greg stomach do that noise I have heard mid word I have heard Dan do that noise all the time coach in this today's landscape yeah well now I don't want to look at Dan what's it you it was not made it made it blown up you're the one that two denials drinking coffee y'all says was it you no whoa I never suspect at them until that answer really whoever denied it supplied it we all know

that everyone knows that's a basic rule everyone just like you being a cook Jeremy what if if people want more whoever denied it supplied it they can have it live tomorrow on pitch clock as you're beginning to kick off the segregated baseball season that's right talk about around here what are you doing tomorrow when very excited for this Dan so tomorrow from three to five we're going to have a live stream on the Levitard show YouTube page myself Chris Cody I know against your wishes but Ethan Bedowsky will have a microphone for portions of this so that we could play some of our trivia that we do on pitch clock we're going to be some guys name and dudes going back to the 90s and early 2000s but mainly just watching ball we're watching opening day so there's a lot of opening day tomorrow is the full opening night tonight is opening night do you know we're tonight's opening day festivities are gonna be broadcast no I learned I learned this one recently Netflix has an MLB pack I'll Duncan okay I I was will bond the other day trying to find heat spurs because I

just go all the time no I just always go to Eric greed I'm expecting the game to be there and only there I'm always surprised when Eric greed is not on my broadcast it's been happening since the beginning of the Miami heat Greg Cody not feeling confident in his fake Eric no as a pitcher just shook off the the catcher signal although I learned baseball is not doing that anymore which sucks I push the button yeah did you not know this I did you know this signs not a thing well for catchers and pitchers yeah still a thing for third base coach yeah but like this is that where they're going on era in the world baseball classic they were going like this to their glove they haven't yeah yeah and it's just some dudes disembodied voice going fast no I don't think it's voice it can be a voice yeah I believe it's just get out of here it can be a voice which leads me to believe like one of those voices better be Morgan Freeman like you should be taking liberties with the voice it has been years of this and so if you'd like to learn a little bit about baseball you can join us on the pitch clock live stream on the levitar show YouTube page from three to five on Thursday will actually have our debut regular season episode of the pitch clock airing a

little bit earlier on YouTube and that's where Chris and I standings officially start on trivia so you'll want to see who wins that opening day I've already gone through the whole emotional spectrum of finding out about this thing existing being mad what happened to my great American past time we're losing recipes to realizing this things happen for a couple of years now and that's on me it's because they didn't want runners on second stealing signs yeah it's the Astros it's related to the Astros saying they ruined all the fun because now kit there's gonna be a whole generation we're losing recipes there's gonna be a whole generation of kids that are never gonna know that a catcher used to put down a like a one or a two or flash it to and then go to a three and the pitcher is going to go like shaking them off they're not gonna they're not gonna have that I got one even better for you the marlins of have led the way on this and now the meds are following suit they'll be calling pitches from the dugout so it won't even be the catcher that's calling the game for the pitcher well how does the catcher know what pitches being called it's the same thing he has the same thing yeah all the recipes are just

gone terrible man it's just more efficient and better for the team uh Greg do you know the reference that he's making there when he's saying we're losing all the recipes do you know what that's in reference to it's in reference to uh nelly doogie's handwritten cookbook from the 1950s and 60s he was about five or six inches thick and it was at uncle dicks and it disappeared I can't find it anymore can we get some water please what's the last of water Greg's right this guy sounds terrible seriously call up uncle dick right now ask him where Nana's cookbook please please call uncle dick i'll do it live on air okay your voice is trying to escape your body and failing so we're looking for Nana doogie yeah the big thick nelly doogie well she was my Nana the big thick yeah I don't want to do this i'm going to just say if you don't call i don't want to speak no this is really simple Dan and nelly is nelly to Greg but Nana to Chris and a Gregmore is four yes but a rush

more is also four but the four is about the five which is a Greg four Gregmore is five Greg more is five right Greg four is because of the four brec and got it and it's five within the four right yes okay just want it to clear uncle dick unavailable he's preparing for dinner he eats dinner for he does he dinner very early he eats dinner at four o'clock um he no one got me he had time to sip of water one of the strangest people in the world I will just tell you guys if you're bookmarking as we are around here the just total descent of Greg Cody I'd like to remind you that this week's Greg Cody descent began because I rarely have the exact marking of where this stuff begins with him looking at a piece of paper at the start of an hour smiling to himself because on that piece of paper he was thinking about Joe Biden calling into his podcast and then we played a full 90 seconds of an interminable uh

flu sick cruise sick drinking too much sick Greg Cody impersonating Joe Biden poorly no and not funny for 90 seconds and that's where the descent began this week and it's been an epic descent right that was Biden not me all right we just heard his voice there chug a big sip of water here and then talk back in in the mind he doesn't drink enough water I have this conversation with my father all the time because he's always drinking diet orange juice like the generics yeah you're gonna sound a lot better from here yellow they like it's a huge difference your body right now is like yes he doesn't take care of thank you no sugar it might so reject it yes what is this you're so coffee in this having withdrawal symptom from drinking too much water uh can you guys uh please get for me as I requested I'm sorry you're not sorry Greg you just talk whenever you want to you don't care about anything that's happening I just want the record to show that when I was saying they're losing recipes I was indeed talking about Nellie Dukey hey we have the Nellie's

diner commercial if you want it that's Greg in the corner is the sight the sound the smell of it warning night or new feeling you're always welcome and when you leave with tears through is the place you always go to when you're with friends or you're all alone it's the taste of Nellie's diner the pace you feel at all step back in time when you step into Nellie's diner it's the only place in town that tastes wild-billed Cody's place in burger deep fried and then it's hundred-year-old large but try a tall stack of our award winning the FBI pancakes kick into the signature banging on things salad but try an uncle dick foot long anything you want and anytime you want it we got it all served up with a free side of smiles we are right where we've been for 60 years at 1440s a gacky street downtown Nellie's diner it's the taste of home you never had because your mom sucked at cooking

all right I know that the voice is sped up but it sounds so different than what it does healthier it does let's put it on the pole that was younger than let's put it on the pole does Greg Cody's voice sound like he has swallowed the sands of time he often tells people you got to listen to me at 1.5 I sound alive I do I sound younger more vibrant I do it's the thing he listens to most is the sound of his own voice like surprises and slow his sound his voice down when he listens back to himself it's harder to do that when you listen to your own episode four times sometimes three once is a critic once is a consumer once is a watcher on YouTube right a sear everybody that's right I admit it Mike you know I have one rule to live by right don't place parlay's on multiple long shots don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero always drink your gig or myster ice cold that's the rule everything else is merely a suggestion everything else everything else wearing clean underwear every day well that's just a personal brushing your teeth obviously smart but not a rule never pee pee on an electric fence okay maybe

there are two rules but the one that is a hundred percent that I insist on completely yagermeister must be drank ice cold or don't drink it at all damn that's cold exactly you're finally starting to get it drink responsibly yagermeister lecora 35% alcohol by volume imported by mass yagermeister us white planes new york there's something about college hoops this time of a year where you tell yourself you're just going to casually watch one game and suddenly your entire night is gone that happened to me the other night I was planning to stay home and keep a game on in the background maybe pretend I wasn't checking scores every five minutes then a text comes in we've got multiple screens set up that's how they catch you so I said yeah I grabbed the pack of Miller light on the way a little while later nobody's casually watching anything somebody's yelling because their bracket is already cooked somebody else suddenly cares deeply about a school then thought about in ten years and a game that looked over is somehow tide late you take a sip you look around and realize yeah this was absolutely the right move that's why I reach for a

instantly 20 I thought he had played something from a computer I didn't look at you uh Chris doesn't like your latest batch he's him he's embarrassed by your latest bad yeah not even worth mentioning honestly it's fine number 28 the little league theory it wasn't worth mentioning you were right hold on let's let's get the let's get the history behind this one and there is a history I would love to hear it my late parents is it Cody's slaying patients right this again I don't want to do that I'm not going to turn into a Levante Davis but my late parents heard this when I was a youth when I was 11 years old and baggy Adler's drugs baseball uniform sometimes I didn't feel like playing I'm like Dad do I have to go to the game today and he said yes that's when I would have three hits and make a great play at the first sack when I felt like bass right this is the this is a timeline of Cody slaying patients drugs yes exactly when I'm when I felt like playing when I was really

gung-ho that's when I would go over three with an E and so the little league theory became drink some more water so that you can just get through this stop interrupting the man this is not a saying it's just like a thing you know it's a thing it's a theory we're losing recipes the little league theory became when just because you wanted to do something really bad it didn't mean you succeed but just because you didn't it didn't mean you'd fail and that has held up throughout my entire life at bowling last week I'm doing great during practice I'm throwing strikes and your son is right this isn't a catchphrase it's just it's just story time with grandpa maybe you're not finding inspiration in this but many are thank you and and and so I I'm bowling well in practice little league theory I bowl like shit during the game it has always bowl like shit it's a real thing the little league theory that's number 28 okay that does not deserve to be that was very good get your own list trying to follow the story thank you Mike

number 27 nice hat asshole that's a good one that's a good one that was a great great one said it one time so proud of himself well I mean when when somebody says that's a good one I'm smiling kind a congratulations as low you are the origin point of nice hat better than you're right in the middle of his long list of phrases you're near the halfway point uh yeah we are and you can tell when you break the water now you get closer to Mike uh let's uh let's play something that I wanted I want to play a couple of different sounds for you guys one was the promised Mike Schmidt sound you guys know what it is that I'm talking about here because when I think of uh people laughing at great athlete who's super emotional about retiring the first thought I have is of the Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt who I uh I think falls into his locker weeping let's see if I remember this correctly some 18 years ago I left Dayton Ohio with two very bad knees

and a dream to become a major league baseball player I think got a dream came true that I should have left that shut out to moose a forgotten hair product good hair on Mike Schmidt was just that whole puffy look it's just it's gone and it was all thanks to moose I want to play for you guys another sound here that I don't think that you saw and I want to offer some reference to this on the front end okay I've been telling you about the fact that throughout sports media before the streaming services arrived there had been a movement into making everything cheaper cheaper by paying the eagles and starving the turkeys has been a phrase that's been used and perhaps you guys have noticed maybe you haven't that at ESPN generally over the last 20 years the only time that they get somebody who's an all-time great to appear on the daily studio shows that are the churning grinding of the industry is when

they're bad at broadcasting it's Emmett Smith it's Scotty Pippin it's somebody who's willing to do the grinding but generally it's the average player or a below average player that does that but you see that NBC you're describing the little league theory that is not the little league theory that is you're not getting you're not understanding the little league theory you made us listen to all of that because you force it all right it's a guy that you end up performing well when he's not really trying nope that's a little league theory no it is exactly no the bad broadcasters at ESPN who are great players Jerry Rice was another one you can't get the great player who's also great at broadcasting to work at discount fees but NBC and peacock are spending big money on Tracy McGrady Vince Carter Carmelo Anthony that's a that is three people that you have to pay a lot in order to get them to sit there the same way that Amazon is paying uh you know Dirk

Novitsky 20 different guys and Blake Griffin yes they're spending money on giant names but what I want you to hear here is Carmelo Anthony's entire game fall apart right in front of your eyes when he is arguing on behalf of the Houston Rockets making the western conference finals listen to how incredulous Tracy McGrady is and listen to Carmelo surrender at the end of this Houston Minnesota can make it to the western conference finals yes you say so he's you they can Houston yes oh my gosh they can with no point guard they can no point guard now yeah because we got a match up now it's about match up so we match you know with okay at the end of this season I can if you say you say Houston it has to be the first match up they got to get past the nugget they have oh Houston yeah oh my gosh down over there listen listen what I'm looking at when I'm

looking at the field I can't hold them down bro because no point guard we watched them against the Lakers you got me Matt I got you that never happens on television right there where a guy just puts down his sword yeah I was just I was just trying to do PR for my for my guys classic little lake theory yeah was the programming around all this stuff has gotten better with the competition those three guys losing it laughing there's all sorts of fake chuckle fest on television rarely do you get to laugh at the Hall of Famers face in a way that everybody falls out of their chairs laughing at somebody yeah this this turn has happened real quick where everyone loves the new studio shows that are in the game and all the complaints are against inside the NBA yeah like that it's generational like the it happened just happened like six months ago but it happened with baseball where everyone was complaining everyone was complaining everyone was complaining and then they put big poppy and Pedro Martinez a rod better better not jeeter and jeeter all on

TV together and even if you don't like the individuals like that collective where you're going back to the generation of the early 2000s and and throughout the odds and saying hey you guys were the stars talk about the game now and they embrace it with love for the game now as opposed to complaining even if it's a little bit different it's the same thing you're getting now where you're getting these guys who were drafted in the early 2000s or in the 90s who were all guys who played together and are saying hey we love the game well it I'm sorry Dan it's it's not exclusive to that because I mean how long you know what we talk about ESPN's studio show and they would have former players and it's like we don't love it you know so it it depends I'm saying it's about the generation though because the former players that they had were complaining about the game because they were guys from the 80s as opposed to on ESPN you think no the I think the problem with ESPN is when there were players it was John Barry I think that it's the confluence of these things and I think it matters and it's important inside the NBA didn't have a competitor because ESPN wasn't spending

the money to really compete like that's how this is what you have to do if you want to actually knock off the best studio show you have to get reps to the guys who are the Hall of Famers and you have to get money in order to get the Hall of Famers that seeing those three guys on a set tracing the grade you got to start at ESPN doing the jump but graduated out of it seeing those three guys together on one set is not something ESPN has ever tried to do to compete against inside the NBA and ESPN also can't compete because they've got so many commercials that everyone's talking for 12 seconds and then they got to go back to a commercial so there's not even time to build the reps in the camarader I'm telling you how rare it is for friendship and respect and confidence to be good enough that everyone can laugh in a way that's not canned or rehearsed the only other show that I've seen that does that is the NFL on Fox because all of those guys have been together

for so long that they can welcome in a stray hand they can welcome in anybody and they fit because Brad Sean Jimmy Johnson loved each other because how he long's been working with them for 15 years because they've got the confidence of you can make you can't embarrass me on television I'm too good and trust you too much my teammate who's up here with me I trust too much that you love me for real and so you're not going to actually embarrass me that for Carmelo could have been wildly embarrassing he's copying to yeah I was just bullshitting I hadn't done any of my research I hadn't thought for a moment I said matchups just by reflex and then you told me what the matchup was and oh shit it's yo-kitch and I hadn't considered I just said matchups that's Carmelo not doing any of the prep if Carmelo's willing to be the clown if the Hall of Famers willing to be the clown you show me all the Hall of Famers who are willing to be the clown you can only do that among guys that you respect and and that you trust not to actually embarrass you that was

unbelievably irresponsible of Carmelo as a broadcaster and what do you do you sink into the mistake instead of trying hide from it it was endearing well because they all lost it laughing yeah how rare is the real laughter where people stop doing the television to laugh you see chuckle fests all over the place how often do you see people on television just lose it laughing Tracy McGrady and Carmelo were crying they they they lost it with tears because of how they were laughing at each other and they just sank into the laughter of it you just don't see it on television television doesn't allow that very often tell me all the times think of all the times you see it happen why do you think inside the NBA is always the best studio show because they have the reps the friendship the trust and the space to do it you need all of those things streaming offers you those things it's like when the internet arrived and knocked out newspapers the space to do things matters yeah we never fake laugh around here 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 learn how at america cures dot com paid for by pharma this Friday the time traveling comedy movie of the year arrives Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice only on hulu the film stars Vince Vaughan James Marsden and a second Zalas in a wild action comedy about one disastrous night that spirals out of control and here's the twist there are two Vince Vaughan's don't miss Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice written and directed by Ben David Grubinsky streaming this Friday only on hulu rated R protein is now at Starbucks and it's never tasted so good

you can add protein cold foam to your favorite drink or try one of our new protein lattes or matcha try it today at Starbucks done lebertard he has been great he's made great hires i said all we've said all of it on yeah we said all of it everything everything everything everything everything you're saying it's all been said okay you gotta understand one thing two gods me maximum that's right i say it hasn't been said okay understand that the mayor till i say it this is the down lebertard show with this two gods Greg how do you feel about your performance today is it better than yesterday's performance how are you generally feeling about how you're doing around here because you have been limping around here today i don't self judge as much as others judge me and i've always been like that i mean i

just don't speak into the mic you clean him back i'm i'm i'm relaxing here i'm among friends no i don't know you tell me i don't think i've been limping around i mean my voice is shit and shot like like uh when Biden called me the other day from scranton you know his voice was shot which he said at the end of the at the end of the call but uh yeah my voice is bad i admit that i thought he was good until there Joe Biden called you it was captain you missed that Tony you can check out the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody if you want to hear that exclusive call again from Joe Biden that was about 90 seconds too long yeah also get the get the mount gregg for bracket challenge uh we're we're taking votes right now hundreds and hundreds have voted and but we want your vote do you want to at least say what the four categories are sure and that you each have five answers in them correct yeah yeah and all right which is like a Greg more and please tell us what the mount gregg for is again watching you age as a privilege okay the four can the four categories are nets hoops pools in the number 64

you know like 68 teams in the tournament well i don't yeah what we're losing recipes i don't make 64 i don't acknowledge the four playins so for me it's still a 64 team tournament shall i give them one nominee from each of the four yeah okay this is an this is a random example Tony we're talking about his what are we talking about Greg for bracket where he has four categories what is the mount gregg for just to reiterate for those of you who may have been confused by the way that Jeremy Gregg discussed this before okay in each of the four categories nets hoops pools and 64s i have my five finalists my five favorite nets for example okay and that's like a mount gregg more yes it's among Jeremy let him do it five not four i'm just a player if you're confusing the process okay i'm giving you one example from each category nets hair nets hoops oh that's a good one pools small amounts of liquid as in a pool of blood wait a minute one of the top five pools are a pool of blood no small amounts of liquid he

used an example as in a pool of blood he was cooking stop interrupting okay and the number 64 an example of that would be um way out give him give them in some grace the Beatles 1967 song went up 64 i meant to give a different example of hoops but i blew it so anyway that give us a podcast it was another one you can give two in that one well another example of hoops that that i like he doesn't want to give away the goods it made my top five it was the 1993 tag-tong tag-team song there it is which many including me always heard as hoop there it is and so that's it's a common mistake there it is we should build around you it's surprising to me that you used when i'm 64 by the Beatles from 1967 as opposed to their 1964 album a hard day's night did you consider i did not know

but thanks i'm glad you just cut his legs out just to be sure it's great yeah that's good stuff uh so go vote now wherever you vote vote now you have no idea where to move you look on zez's face it's like i'm speaking chinese over here mandarin i should say sorry my friends in china i'm out of water Greg's right there's a lot of dialects over there mandarin kintonese just to name the two that i know zez how are you feeling in general about what Greg Cody is doing to what is not only for you a sacred program but also a sacred medium this has been something that has frustrated zez since i've known him that Greg Cody refuses to learn the very basic things of trying to attempt to be a professional broadcaster of any sort i mean i was frustrated over 20 years ago before i knew anything about radio but i knew like this isn't the way to do it

and how wrong you were my friend who would have known 20 years later he'd he'd be Greg Cody has outlasted the industry damn right i have helped kill it you know lasting it that's a bar that Greg Cody's career helped kill right put it on the pole at levitard show has Greg Cody helped kill radio and then outlasted it yes or no all while not trying at all to be good at it wait a second that's a little league theory uh mic ryan wrong camera you pointed that uh yes he did he did he last a little bit where you put it at the back of the camera were you doing it Greg Cody first down yeah you were just the referee who did a first down in the wrong direction like i want you to turn over the camera follows me i don't follow the camera that kind of thing it's not how it works well said it works radio follows you you don't follow the others they all learn from boo is that going to be on there yeah well maybe really maybe he doesn't

want to we're going to have so many good ones left off no you won't oh yeah you will yeah i'll be able to do such a good top 10 of the omitted ones when this is all i can't wait for the list to come out and then like baby is missing every week he's adding another one to this already created why you had to make room for little league theory the fact that he's doing this in no appreciable order and that he doesn't know that he's gonna run out of room because he keeps putting cruddy ones like the little little literally theory was added in the last week like that is not one we had on our master list how about i'm the kind of guy that yeah that's on there that's a great one yeah i was i'm the kind of guy was on the main driver comfort is paramount yeah that was on there are you disgusted by him says low or you you can't even look at him you're looking away well because i don't want to be rude you know like i don't want to i don't want to i don't want to make a face at someone and and make them feel bad about themselves you couldn't do that just go ahead give me your face give me that face that would make me feel bad about my

i don't want to i'm a nice person he can't look at you though he is hiding this is well but there have been two of them today who have hidden the last time i saw this kind of shame hiding behind a microphone he was when Chris Cody didn't know that levante david had lost both of his parents that's right and called him a blubberer uh zaz is now doing the same thing where all i see is a backward hat behind a microphone big nice hat asshole 27 but zaz appears to me to be seething and i believe as somebody who can be both fluent in zaz and body language then it's an affront to the medium that zaz cares about have we made it clear enough that i want them to fight try one more time yes because let's hold sacred a medium where we have a looks like contest and and and and have fun with other falter all let's hold sacred i don't know what that word means i don't know what that word means fonder all falter all falter all yes i don't know what it means i'll take us disrespect what does falter all mean put it on the pole at levatar show if you ever heard

anybody use the word falter all just nonsense just you know silly let's be on talk uh speaking of nonsense i heard a tony of all people longing for the waiting room the other day tony was doing a of sort of back in my day i have not heard a young person long for the waiting room why were you longing for a waiting room and what does falter all mean i don't know what it means either Greg i'm talking to you i know i already told you what i think it means it's trivial or nonsensical fuss right so exactly what Greg said yeah thank you give me the music you know what i'm sorry though because i wasn't listening to him and i really wasn't listening to him because so much of what he is spewed has just been nonsensical oh no minor belly too much for not listening to the show thank you then that was big of you all right give me the music again all right so what i want to do in paying homage to the great-great-code who's done an incredible job not only today but this year to be honest he's been on fire in 2026 to pay homage

to the legend he's got back in my day what i want to do is call bring it back jack okay these are things from the two that from the two thousands and before so everything in the 20th century i want to bring back into what we're doing today okay right we did so many great things back then now everything is being destroyed by this thing our phones right so i went to the accountant yesterday to do my taxes Greg you would appreciate this i walk in the phones buzzing off the hook my wife texted me news is coming in what's happening in Iran what's happening here i'm like you know what i don't want to do this anymore so i put my phone in my side bag and then i walked into the accountant's office they said it's gonna be a couple of minutes i said that's fine i look down at the chair what's next to the chair on a little table oh a magazine Greg the magazine of the history of choral cables guess what i did i picked it up started sifting through started reading it i said this is beautiful this is nice i'm reading about a lake somewhere in choral cables that isn't as a you know aquifer of some sort and i was like man i didn't know that that's beautiful you know

historic choral cables 1936 or whatever it was where was even more sis 500 yard game and they didn't have that one in there the editor had a really big picture of himself though which i didn't really much like but that's not the point the point is as i'm sifting through and reading and watching and looking at all these different things all the sudden count and comes it hey it's your turn past a beautiful 20 minutes just reading about a city that we passed by every single day did you let did you lick your finger to turn the page my hand was a little dusty but i had to i had to like wet it a little bit but the beauty of just sitting there leaving my phone away and enjoying the waiting room by looking at a magazine of a city was beautiful bring it back jack let's stop using phones and waiting rooms let's pick up a magazine and that's bring it back jack i like that thank you Tony for that homage get your own music but other than that i really like the idea um that reminds me of a back of my day i did uh along similar lines about how you there's no in-flight magazines anymore on an airplane i used to be able to kill an hour with an in-flight
