0:00 this is the dan levator show with the stu guts podcast why did i just overhear louis say the 15th of the month i get a check whether the camera is on or off or in billy's ass because he's got really bad energy today about him over in that corner he comes in like this laying down laws and he's making ordinance and i'm like get over to your corner with sick tony over there because tony's been coughing and he has something going on with his eyes and he keeps telling everybody he's not sick he just has seen lucy's but his wife is sick and it's like dude you're sick like stay sick over here my wife is sick now too i know it's coming for me i'm going to get a fever at some point in the next two days just stay over there away from me stop that no and then lewis who's tony's hype man who whatever tony does he's like oh that's a good idea over there and the court is like dude just chill over there in the corner and

0:55 then they were giving me this attitude and i said you know what i'm going to do this i'm going to turn on the zoom camera in the middle of a segment just to throw everything off just so you're going to have to do extra work today and then that's when he said that he doesn't care because he gets paid the 15th of the month regardless this place uh with if this were a football team you would see during the game teammates tackling each other like on offense on the same team the running back is running for a clean sweep and then the pulling guard just turns around and tackles him is the kind of teamwork you get out here uh stu godz are you and billy god bless football starts on friday yup god bless football starts on friday we get some big time guests coming on i got stu you gots i mean we got a lot going on this friday that sounds as random as greg cody's visible address big-time guess you could be more generic okay

1:47 wait hold on a second there's a reason and much much more there's a there's a reason for that because we've already we've already recorded with two big time guests the problem is we have i believe three more interviews set up so so you know what i mean like you know the names that you would know it's just now dan because there's there's a limited time for that and there's also stupidity now it's kind of where we figure out where the puzzle pieces fit you know what i mean like who's going to get on god bless football who's going to be stupidity this week so we don't want to you know what i'll just tell you some of the names so you guys should tell them some of the names yeah tell them we have jalen hurts on one of them this week we have marcus freeman on one of them this week after a loss after a loss those are some big-time guests well hold on after a win ryan day is scheduled to appear with us

2:44 we have notre dame ohio state covered on one of these after the game yeah yeah yeah we also have friend of the show i think i don't know if i'm allowed to say this one yet it's two guys or not you could say better than the first thing mina kimes is scheduled to join us somewhere at some point and then we have sims and golic and then the whole you know mojo chris gronkowski k-funk java situation who has promised us the guests as well but won't tell us who the guest is so we'll be surprised by their guests all right let's uh let's go ahead and chronicle this because that podcast is a raging success internationally awarded prizes billy is now the fifth ranked insider in the world not just the united states because of god bless football it is a sprawling mess at least because billy uh what happened how so well just because these gronks the the gronk family makes a mess they like when they leave it's as

3:41 if a family of bears have been in your kitchen when they're fun not one of the gronks mojo right yeah and he claims to be the youngest person to ever get an mba from the university of maryland yep dan i'll say this that you know we have golic on every week we have sims on every week we get great guests i i mean i think billy would agree with me the most fun we have is with those four meat heads for 20 minutes every single week they just make us laugh they make us smile you know i thought though that there were also i've heard over the last i don't know 18 months you and them making all sorts of plans we're gonna do a remote in vegas we're going to a bachelor party we're going to the super bowl we're going to be with gronk and it seems like they take your microphones and they don't actually invite you guys to anything or they invite you but then it doesn't end up happening well daddy's got to give us a company card you know

4:41 what i mean and then we can make these things happen that's really what he comes to answer at the end of the day sometimes yeah they invite us we just don't attend dan yeah they've invited us to everything like we're invited to mojo's wedding in italy that's that's something that we're going to have to discuss on this week's episode because i was told by someone the invites for that have gone out yeah and i have not gotten one i don't know if the guys got one i'm assuming two guys didn't get one but i got one did you really yeah he's lying no you didn't where is it billy i'll forward it to you right now did you really get one chicken i have the invitation send it to me right now send it to me right now okay hold on right now i've been told that it's in a castle in italy the thing is is that we've blown them off so many times that now we're not getting invited to as many things you know what's funny about that billy

5:33 i learned the other day to my shock and amazement castles surprisingly reasonable that's what they were saying that's what they were saying they were saying to rent a castle in italy cost like the same to have a wedding here in america couldn't believe it i couldn't when when somebody was i had to go look it up and they're like nope they've got they've got a bunch of them and they've got like b and b's out there and you could do or c and cs or whatever it is you want to you just wanted breakfast you're like i want to rent a castle no no i was i was not looking to rent a castle for myself i was talking to people about moss events at a castle i was told it's surprisingly cheap to rent a castle you want to have the saddest moss event ever not kmos that's going to be a raging success we should have one at coral castle oh my god are you familiar with coral castle go ahead billy do you know coral castle dan

6:25 or no coral castle is one of the creepiest places in miami that has ever existed wow look up coral castle google coral castle coral castle is this if i remember correctly from the visit that i made to coral castle it's like off of us-1 somewhere i think like in the middle of nowhere and it's like this shrine that this kind of you know god rest his soul creepy guy made to some woman that he was like in love with that i think never ended up marrying her and he made her a castle this is not where the wade's got married is it no no no no no no no no no this is like a castle that's like made out of coral that he got out of wherever and he shaped him on like the shapes of moons and it was like this massive thing that he meant for a lover that i don't think that he ever had and now it's just there and you can kind of go visit it off the side of the road somewhere his spirit haunts it well that's from

7:18 lewis so we don't know if it's true or not as god bless football gets ready to take off into the sky stu gods can you answer the question for me of whether or not this century the patriots have gone into a season with expectations here where this low billy by the way i just sent you the invite to the wedding you'll be upset you didn't get it um so no with the expectations this low i would say maybe the season not this low stugats where there are no expectations the pace is this the first time this century that the patriots uh or i guess probably at the beginning of the century you would have uh before the brady thing keep in mind keep in mind i think bledsoe was the quarterback for those patriot teams they were still very good teams and then brady eventually took over for bledsoe because he got hurt so there were expectations headed into that season maybe i don't know do you remember what

8:20 the expectations what the talk was the year brady left like two years ago was anyone expecting anything talking about cam newton was their quarterback i thought that belichick was gonna do something people thought people thought cam was gonna work out i remember thinking um that's old camera but it's more it's more that bill belichick still had his credibility whereas now it's two years removed from bill belichick's full height of his credibility and now people are starting to look at him and you're saying you're handing off your offense to joe judge and matt patricia you're handing your defense off to your sons are you just doing the whole thing like is this just an entirely bill belichick show and the reports from training camp which are more credible than whatever happens in pre-season is that they couldn't be functional for a day of practice this entire offseason matt patricia the reporting is has been

9:09 a disaster right it doesn't even make sense the idea that he would be calling plays on offense for that team and then they share it with judge and now nobody knows who's calling the plays yeah mac jones i don't know if he said this or has like our vocalized frustration during a practice once where he said the number of dead-end plays that we have is astounding like where i run to the sideline and there's nothing there is nothing for me to do with the football like that it's just startling and the dead end plays i love the idea of just somebody running into a corner uh somewhere and just stopping and being like okay this is a dead end and just dropping the football and going back to the huddle and i i want to uh plug something that uh chris cody and tony did last friday our miami dolphins season preview i believe did the new england patriots not sign devante parker yeah they they did and tony had a stat

10:00 on that ahmad podcast episode where he was saying that devante parker in the nfl for the last two seasons has been the worst receiver in separation he has the lowest separation 127th and 132nd out of all receivers he's been the lowest of separation and so the patriots i don't think that's good and that that is not going to help solve the problem if dead end plays billy you have on your computer i believe the first ever loss by the kentucky fried chickens yeah sugar was invited to this wedding he did it he sent me the evite i'm now on the wedding website i'm seeing all the details that wedding hashtags the registry what's the hashtag the hashtag look at how happy stu gotz is tony for that question go ahead and go and sit in the penalty box sit your sick ass in the penalty box go there with them five minute majors stugats though like here's my question to you have you rsvp'd because there's a

10:55 very quick turnaround this was sent august 23rd and the date well it doesn't matter no one's going to go is october 16th which is like five weeks or something so have you rsvped are you going to this uh no i haven't i i told him i received the email i haven't told him what i'm doing yet i mean he's doing the same thing he this this thing with stu godz there it is whittingham's dropping his head in his hands his manicured hair into his hands because he knows stu it's the weirdest thing he is commitment phobic he will kick and he can down the road he will not commit to anything ever even if it's the next day he says i'll get back to you i feel like obama could invite him golfing and he would be like i don't want to check my schedule look at my calendar what's happening there billy as the producer of stugats and god bless football what is happening there because it's the same with you right it's some version of i'll let you

11:47 know sort now i mean here's the thing stewart's when he tells you maybe already knows what the answer is just doesn't want to say anything that will upset you is it maybe always no is it no no always knowing 98 percent

12:21 because if it's like stu gods can you maybe come here then it's probably no he's he's not going to come but then stu gotz will use him maybe in another in another direction i don't know what happened there another direction and he'll say i may be going to chicago for six months straight and i'll let you know and then you're like okay well when is that he's like i'll get back to you and then it's like well it's today see you in september and it's like wait what it's like i told you i let you know that it's maybe i'll get them off on my way by the way october 16th i mean the jets by the packers i don't know what to tell you i mean that's a big one the thing is i and i i am not a psychologist i did take one class though in college so i may be qualified to do this i think what it is is stu gotz just doesn't want to disappoint people and upset people so he doesn't give them the straight answer right away

13:14 which just leads to more disappointment on the back end of the situation yeah he's identified it correctly dan that's uh that's kind of what's going on with me listen really what i'm pursuing really what the chase is is to get the invite whether i go or not does it really matter as long as i get invite like marcus freeman invited me to spend 24 hours with him at notre dame now i told him i'd go but there's a good chance i won't but at least i got the invite i mean how about that but you did promise him a specific day that you were gonna go do this why wouldn't you do that that'd be a funny bit you shadowing him all for 24 hours if any of us got the invite to go to a wedding in italy and we had the resources to be there and presumably mojo raleigh's wedding is going to be very fun it's in a castle in italy book your plane ticket and go man go yeah jets backers i mean you'll see a thousand jets packers games

14:13 for the rest of your life go to a castle in italy would you please yeah i would well i am going to castle in green bay lambeau field that's where i'm going well stu did just get permission to not be around those days because it's a sunday through wednesday so you could now just say like yeah vacation time it's why he's from home today and doing an hour and a mean is flying in like we're not monitoring vacation time he can go wherever he wants whenever he wants i wanted i wanted to ask you guys this when i saw patrick beverly show up at a laker camp with the press conference and when they asked him hey what's you know you're playing with anthony davis and lebron and his response was they're playing with me they're playing with patrick beverly i was in the playoffs last year they were not is patrick beverly the stu godz of the nba where westbrook greets him at the press conference because

15:01 everyone knows whatever patrick beverly says it doesn't mean anything it's just a bunch of gibberish it's a bunch of words it's filled with uh filled with uh just noise-making so that he can get attention for himself but russell westbrook isn't actually someone who's beefing with him i don't i actually don't think he's that stugotzian because i think he believes everything that he's saying isn't he like patrick beverly does actually believe that it is an honor to play with him there is a reason why playoff teams over and over again want to have him in their team because he's the irrational confidence guy that it's no problem being out on the floor during the nba finals there are other players who have confidence issues and get run off because at defense or whatever patrick beverly if he gets a chance to shoot a three in an nba finals game he's got no problem shooting it you don't think that stu godz when he says

15:49 maybe he believes himself that it's not a lie because stu godz believes it isn't that why he's such a pathological liar no if stu god's if stu god's for patrick beverly he would say i'm going i will be at that wedding i will be the life of the party and then not show up but the maybe hemming and hawing that's not very beverly but that's what he's doing patrick beverly doesn't show up every night get the hell out of here i mean come on he told marcus freeman he will show up he it depends on how famous you are that's another thing he will not uh he will lie to you more boldly if you're famous about yes whatever you want whatever you need i will i will do and then not do it what are you shaking your head about waiting him just like that's a cool it's a cool thing like you're going to be spending some time in the greater illinois area that's not far away from notre dame like just say yes set a date

16:43 i did say yes and we did set a date my daughter northwestern is playing notre dame at notre dame and so i've set a date with marcus freeman who let me tell you win lose it doesn't matter that guy goes to sleep every night waking up knowing that he's going to be the best looking guy in any room he walks into what a feeling that must be what a handsome devil seriously totally with you the the fist pump after they went up seven to three espn goes to break with the slow motion montage of marcus freeman celebrations my god did you see that mcafee got another coveted job last night according to front office sports he's going to be on college game day jesus every weekend and it made me thanks to god's because he's got to navigate so many things here with wrestling i don't know whether he's going to do private plane stuff or not but the fact that the college football season has already started makes me

17:40 think that mcafee was negotiating tough with them made the season start because he's so coveted and he's and then at the last minute everything comes together and all of a sudden he's going to be in austin for texas alabama this weekend but the season has already started and i do think that they have to add some life to that show and keep developing it and they have to find a replacement for corso i don't know how they're gonna how they're going to end up using mcafee but the next iteration of this show whenever it is that corso is gone it's going to need it what is it 36 years now that show has been around it's going to need something and now that he's working with peyton manning and omaha productions on a bunch of other stuff mcafee is killing it again not since ralph banerska hosted daytime wheel of fortune has uh has an nfl kicker of any sort it's unbelievable but he's using everybody he's not he doesn't have to

18:40 commit to anybody he just gets to jump from platform to platform and he's he's just overtaking the industry there's nobody doing the things that he's doing congratulations to him man because i i don't know where he's gonna find the time to do all these things but basically it is just people want to be around a likable energy a high energy he's got a lot of enthusiasm and it's what i was telling you about robert griffin iii and his broadcast like i do think there is the possibility that the next iteration next incarnation of rebellion in broadcasting is simply the controversial way of this of uh delivering stugot's energetic enthusiasm commentary uh some bombast around what it is that you're doing as opposed to just taking and just enjoying you know just enjoying that you're there and having that enjoyment be contagious what are you laughing about billy well we were just talking about this wedding

19:38 because you're talking about good energy and mcafee and i said i don't think i'd be able to hang with mcafee like he just seems to be too high energy for me like i don't think like i know people want to be around him i don't think he'd want to be around me i don't think i'd be able to have this energy and i go honestly probably same thing with this wedding like if i were invited to this wedding i'd be the worst person at this wedding because i wouldn't have the energy that professional wrestlers have like i'd be the most boring person there and then chris said oh me too like you know trying to make him feel better he's like oh you know me too i go no chris you could light up a dance floor and he's like no no like at a celebrity wedding i'd just be quiet and then woody just turned around and said get a couple drinks and chris cody like he'd be the star of the wedding he's like i know i just wanted to be humble

24:15 does giselle bunchen who is every bit as successful in her realm which is also difficult people think it's just taking pictures to god you just take pictures it's a difficult way to make a living she was or is the world supermodel and she's had to sacrifice her career and been quoted as saying tom gets to focus on his career and i take care i have to take care of the kids but i also have a career she's been quoted by him as saying that she wants him back home she wants him to be done with football what an interesting conundrum to have stu godz because all of us as men would want the fountain of youth forever in our careers but what makes his career any more important than her career nah it's a great point um and nothing really makes his career more important than her career um dan he listen he said it i'm 45 i've got a lot of [ __ ] going on and it's true they have a lot of stuff going on at this time of their life that he

25:18 has a kid who's just started playing high school football they have two or two or three other kids she wants to move on with her career she wants tom to be mo home more to be with the kids to be a better father to be a better husband and to free up some time so she can go pursue some of the things that she wants to do i mean i think this is just like what you do with it i don't think you do anything with it i think they have to work it out figure it out because they're going through with a lot of couple married people i don't know what they're doing i don't know wait a minute i'm not i'm not icky talking about their marriage before we know for sure this is what i am asking i think he acknowledged this billy on his own radio show so i'm asking you guys when i ask you what am i supposed to do with it there are things that are allowed to be private but we do not allow famous people to have their privacies and while

26:12 i don't know what is going on in their marriage there's a lot of reporting that doesn't feel very firm that doesn't feel very good it seems like it doesn't mean it's wrong but there's reporting about big fights and i really don't know how to discuss the most prominent athlete in america what's going on in his marriage what's fair to discuss as soon as he takes the 11 days off you'll remember that we left tiger woods and that stuff all alone right up until there was a police report and there's a golf club through the back window of his car and now all of a sudden the privacy gets breached everywhere because they've invited us in with details once tom brady leaves for 11 days that you could keep some of this stuff private right up until he leaves for 11 days then you've got teammates are bothered by this even if he's tom brady nobody likes a different set of rules in that place they can shut up

27:13 like what what teammate does tom brady have that's like tom you gotta pull your own weight around here buddy but tom brady would be that guy for other people like this is unprofessional behavior on the eve of a season to just often leave that the sort of future of this organization is on the whims of a 45 year old like it is sort of bizarre it's a very bizarre working environment for a sports team it might work because tom brady has overcome everything that's come his way in his career but yeah i mean this is not the way to start an nfl season it's not professional by any standard and i i do sort of wonder like what because you brought up tiger woods what have we learned i guess in the 13 years since we talked about what have we learned in the aftermath of man title like getting like wedging ourselves in the personal relationships celebrity couples that are in the headlines all the time like you know ben

28:08 affleck and jennifer lopez like what have we actually learned that was dicey here though woody there was infidelity involved there was a golf club to the back of his car involved like there was other stuff in here up there just this but but we wouldn't want to be like a guy this seems to be like a guy in tom brady who is still great at this thing that he does it has no reason it's still being this great at his profession and they're trying to figure out how to work their way through it that's what it seems like from the reporting where you know she wants him to be home more he probably made promises that he would be home more and he's not fulfilling those promises and she's had enough of it and so i mean it's a totally different situation but again what if what have we learned right like are are we in a position to judge from on high the relationships of other people like i that's sort of

28:54 i think what we've learned about celebrity culture in the last few years have we not like and it's in the newspapers right it's in the new york post page six it's in people magazine they're a bunch of sources you know saying things about the relation relationship and dynamic between this couple at the same time though like i i've never really been that comfortable with that and i i just i'm not i'm not going to speculate until things develop that's not the part of this that i'm interested in whether or not they're having marital problems is not the part i'm interested in the part i'm interested in is just a tom brady at 45 years old has no precedence for his excellence and now we're asking him for balance at a position that's inherently lopsided where drew brees is always in the facility at 10 pm and he's saying as everyone's leaving excellence is lonely if a wife requests balance from you and

29:49 you're in that position can you give her balance is it even possible during an nfl season my wife doesn't like when football comes around my wife rolls her eyes at september because her sundays get taken i'm not kidding you join the club i'm i'm not i'm not joking she's like how long is this thing this this was this week i'm like oh we got another week to this last year more games more god is it possible is what i'm asking you stu gotz is what just oh you have to work sunday night great is what gisele bundchen might is what a wife or a partner might be requesting from tom wright or tom brady is it possible yeah i think it is like at this point whittingham i understand what you're saying if you're one of his teammates though when brady says hey i am going to show up to the stadium once a week no more practices i'm done i'll be there at 12 45 enough time to get the pads on maybe get a quick

30:50 stretch in you know work out the shoulder a little bit make a couple of throws to to mike evans okay and i'm gonna leave at 405. i am gone occasionally i'll be there at 355 for a 405 start i'll be gone by 7 15 home in time for dinner if he said that to you you're one of his teammates okay you are agreeing to that on the spot are you not i mean who cares if anyone can pull that off with no practice and just show up for the games tom brady can pull it off and so yeah there's a way yeah where he just shows up for the games who cares and you t and you tell your teammates look if this is an issue blaine gabbert okay like that's the option right here that is uh funny stu gods now do you want to actually entertain my question or not really no it's impossible then to entertain my question or impossible no no no no no to have life balance while playing quarterback in the nfl i i also think like if you're you're tom

31:52 brady you're doing something that is so generation defying sport defying human defying being good at a sport at age 45 you're doing something that literally no one has ever done how could you as someone who's come up in sport and values everything that sport gives you not want every drop of being good at 45. is what he's doing any worse than what gronk's gonna do which is just show up in the middle of the season because he didn't want to go through training camp yeah but gronk's not married i'm just saying in terms of like you guys like this is so unprofessional he disappeared right before the season starts like rock's gonna show up in the middle of the season and then they'll make the playoffs and everything but brock isn't being paid right now for what it is that he's doing billy you don't have to take this up with me i would say to you that tom brady should be able to make all his own rules

32:42 in his workplace or largely his own rules i'd trust him to uh be responsible about that um i just don't we'll talk to tj husman zada about this later but i just don't think in that sport well i mean you can speak to this in basketball the availability of a teammate i don't know how much kevin durant and kyrie irving and james harden broke up over availabilities but when one guy looks over no matter who he is that another guy in the locker room even though there are rules for everybody that are different uh these guys notice when they have to run and they have to be in meetings and someone else and their leader doesn't have to be well first of all i'd like to point out that the first place i heard that giselle and tom brady might might be having some some issues was right here on this very program i got it i got it he fought through it yeah don't worry was on this very program and it was you dan levitar who said i

33:36 have a career too and and now you want me to raise the kids you're supposed to raise the you were the first one you were the first one to bring that up dan and so when the news broke i was like man this dan levitar guy is a reporter or what he had all the sources and he just passed it off as reckless speculation so i sit here today and say dan did you know or was that just an educated guess did you come close to answering the question i threw to you i asked the question back someone just answered what's what's the question did you say we're going to discuss this with a former bengals wide receiver i i got so excited sugats why did you get so excited tj houshmanzada yeah come on man just falling out of the sky like where'd he come from what's this 2000's football that is like the pinnacle of a name you can draw from mid-2000s witty if i give you troy palamalu wow willie parker oh we're already this old where we can play

34:39 this for the football with the football now asked willie parker the question was i mean you fought through the phlegm and then you just you know what you did you did what uh what players and coaches do in press conferences where they don't care what the question is they're going to say what they've got to say whether teammates get mad at other teammates disappearing for 11 days or having a different set of rules or or getting to do work differently than the way that they're doing work i present to you the clippers of two or three years ago when kawhi leonard was living in san diego and patrick beverly and lou williams and the guys who were there before paul george and kwai got there were upset that there was a separate set of rules for these guys and that kwai wasn't around and when he was hurt he didn't sit on the bench he sometimes he wouldn't show up sometimes he'd show up he'd sit in the luxury box

35:36 that was a classic example of yeah we get it he's great he's better than all of us but why does he have a separate set of rules and then if you talk to some people some people weren't even upset that kwai was doing that they said why we get it two-time finals mvp champ all that stuff but paul george gets this treatment too there are some people questioning that and again i don't think anyone questions the talent level or the contribution on the court but yes there is a level of i mean i thought we're all in this together now the difference is with tom brady clearly this is a family issue so i don't think guys are going to be upset at him because home isn't right because they all know man that's that can get real ugly real quick and everyone's been through that situation where you have conflict in the home so i don't think the guys are going to hold him as kind of sternly accountable as though he were like kyrie

36:29 irving saying oh i was really upset about what happened in the news like that that i think would get a different type of response from his teammates if anyone is going to get this kind of carte blanche it would be this guy but the reason that i know to answer your question i mean i did not know anything but i assumed either family member is sick it was so odd for a leader of this kind who respects teammates and football to have an emergency and it must be an emergency at home for him to leave preparation 11 days early when he's 45 and young people in a competitive in a place so competitive you don't even understand how competitive it is for money they all are coming after him and whatever you think stu got it no matter how easy he makes it look getting a 45 year old body ready for whatever sunday is no matter your experiences that work week is a holy hell of preparation for him to get everything out two seconds

37:32 for him to recognize every defense to god's he's not coming in with a memorized test he's got to do that week ever he's got to do that work every single week and i just think it's really hard to come home never mind to come home at a time when you can be with the wife and kids but even when you are home to have the energy to be present stu god to be present in the thing to not be daydreaming about holy [ __ ] miles garrett is coming across this week the idea of being present at home at his age in that sphere i could see how it would be very hard and i don't see how you can do it part-time job is it's it's all-consuming but dan are you because they play the cowboys he said he's excited he loves playing in dallas he's playing against america's team even though we said yesterday that the lobos are america's team are you questioning whether or not tom brady's gonna have a good season because i would

38:27 prefer you not do that dan in fact don't do it i care about you i have this theory that i haven't uh come out with yet because it's a good one legalities and i don't want us to get in trouble as a show but like you know how people have said a number of things like oh he was gone because of the massing oh he was gone and his face looks different he had something his hair is this or his cheeks or whatever right oh his family life blah blah i have this theory that i've been thinking right what if every off season for the past four or five off because we would agree right granted like what he's doing is unprecedented we've never seen someone at this age do what he's doing right how does he do it how does his body is it alex girl who knows so i've been thinking what if like for the past four or five off seasons he's slowly just been having procedures where like he is replacing like his knee or like his hip and then his

39:18 other knee and his other hand with what and and he's just putting in like bionic like robotic thing like metal pieces right so like he will never feel any of this pain because he doesn't have bones anymore it's all just metal and heart and his brain and his arm what about emotional pain just the heart yeah is it possible that he's had things like that done and it's none of the other things it's possible it's a good theory dan don't throw that [ __ ] back at me you guys you guys swim in that deep end don't throw that at me hey that's always the solution we're just asking you if you want to say

40:09 i think you are actually just asking yeah you'd like to so no
