Best of DLS: I Need Your Support

Summary

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Best of DLS: I Need Your Support (December 31, 2025)

---

OVERVIEW

Broadcast from the Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, this "Best of" episode is classic Le Batard—combining sharp, irreverent sports commentary, family drama, South Florida flavor, and running inside jokes.
The central theme revolves around Greg Cody’s bruised feelings after being mocked on the previous show, leading to a hilarious, at times poignant, group therapy session. The crew also dissects Miami Dolphins’ futility, the Miami Hurricanes’ coaching critiques, and the crucial significance of support—both in fantasy leagues and in real life.

---

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Greg Cody’s Grievances: The Fallout

• Pent-up Frustration: Greg enters the show visibly upset, hurt by previous on-air jabs calling him a “fool” for reporting major show news minutes “late.”
  • Quote (Greg Cody): “He said, Chris, your dad is a fool…And I don’t appreciate being called that. Even if it’s for a joke.” (05:21)
• Show Ethics: Stugotz reminds Dan about a golden broadcasting rule—criticize the action, not the person.
  • Quote (Stugotz): “Dan, you broke the golden rule…criticize the action, not the actor.” (05:54)

2. Dolphins’ Dysfunction & Job Security Paranoia

• Low Confidence and the Flores Lawsuit: Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is depicted as hesitant to fire coaches or GM Chris Grier because of potential legal/optics fallout from the ongoing Brian Flores discrimination lawsuit.
  • Quote (Greg Cody): “I have heard that about the lawsuit…if you fire Chris Greer, all of a sudden, maybe he turns against you in a trial, in a lawsuit.” (08:37)
  • Quote (Stugotz): “That’s juicy.” (08:53)
• Dolphins’ Decline: Greg adjusts his preseason ranking of the Dolphins from 15th to “28 to 30.”
• NFL Parity and Despair: Discussion on how many teams are truly “hopeless,” with the Dolphins lumped among the Jets, Saints, and Titans.
  • Quote (Stugotz): “You cannot have an absence of hope.” (09:31)

3. Family Fantasy League Collusion & Voicemails

• Greg’s Drunken Voicemail: A running bit throughout the episode is whether to air Greg Cody’s accidentally recorded, alcohol-tinged voicemail to his wife, lobbying her to support his push for punishing Dan for late fantasy picks.

• Negotiation Comedy: The crew barters over how many seconds of the voicemail to play for maximum teasing and downloads for Greg’s own podcast.

  • Quote (Dan): “Can we just play the first, like, sentence to let people get a taste of it, and then they have to go listen to the rest?” (20:50)

  • Memorable moment (played at 22:41):

    • Greg: “I'm going to send out a group text to the league this coming week proposing punishment powers. Okay, that's enough. If anything like this happens. That's enough.”

  • Aftermath (23:00):

    • Chris Cody: “He does sound drunk.”
    • Dan: “And then he goes ‘and I need your support.’”

• Allegations of Collusion: Le Batard and Stugotz jokingly accuse Greg of cheating:

  • Chris Cody: “You'll admit that you're sleeping with a member of the league.” (24:32)

4. Miami Hurricanes/Louisville Football Dissection

• Game Tactics: The crew analyses how Jeff Brohm (Louisville) outcoached Mario Cristobal by neutralizing Miami’s strengths—quick passes, cut blocks, and smart strategy undermined Miami's pass rush and stubborn running game.
  • Quote (Dan): “Jeff Brohm outcoached Cristobal, and I rarely say that part…but that part was obvious.” (33:25)
• Canes’ Home Game Woes:
  • Mario Cristobal suffers his fifth loss as a 2+ touchdown favorite since 2022; the Canes are critiqued for uncreative play-calling and penalties.
• Stadium Drama: Miami may not have a home stadium for a potential playoff game because of a pre-scheduled (and controversial) La Liga soccer match at Hard Rock Stadium.
  • Quote (Chris Cody): “They may not have a stadium to play in…looking at contingency plans that include potentially playing a CFP playoff game in Orlando.” (42:20)
• Game Ops & Crowd Frustrations: Chris Cody rants about poor in-game presentation, including an out-of-touch stadium PA and uninspired crowd engagement.

5. Weekly Bits & Humor

• Nuttiest Fan Segment (25:10):
  • BYU President crowd-surfing vs. DJ Khaled’s pregame workout for Miami are pitted against each other for “nuttiest fan” honors.
• Classic Shark Attack Aside:
  • Greg shares a bizarre news story about a woman being swallowed whole by a shark—“Classic Shelly”—leading to laughter about which friend would go missing unnoticed. (36:10)

TONE & STYLE

True to DLS’s identity: highly conversational, sardonic, and improvisational. The panel alternates between sharp sports analysis, mock-serious personal disputes, and meta-commentaries on their own routines, creating a fast-paced, highly self-aware, and humor-infused episode.

---

SUMMARY FOR THE UNINITIATED

This episode showcases the Dan Le Batard magic: heated family squabbles, inside jokes, petty league politics, and surprisingly sharp sports analysis—all orbiting the theme of “support” in its many forms. From Greg Cody’s fantasy league melodrama and management of personal grievances, to Dan and Stugotz’s rants on Miami sports and crowd psychology, the show mixes deep Miami roots with broad sports insight and relentless, self-deprecating humor.

Fans get:

• A glimpse into off-air drama seeping onto the main show.
• Juicy Dolphins and Canes insider talk, including law-suit induced inertia and coaching “cojones.”
• Classic bits (“nuttiest fan”), local Miami color, and hilarious, escalating negotiations about family feuds and podcast downloads.

If you missed the show, you missed a loose, lively, authentic hour of one of the most self-aware families in sports radio—at their messy, bickering, and hysterical best.

[Stugats]

Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other day LeBatard podcast I'm sorry. I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've done it.

[Stugats]

And now here's the marching man to Nowhere Fat Face and the Habitual Liar.

[Greg Cody]

This episode of the Dan Lebatard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings the Crown is yours.

[Stugats]

Greg has come in hot and Zaslow has now been witness to it. In the privacy of this sacred room right here, we've had some sparks. Cody is mad. Chris, you didn't tell me your father was mad about something that happened on the show last week. You did not inform me your father was hurt by something and it just spilled out into this room and Zaslo was just witness to it. And as judge, juror and journalist, good judger. You would say what about what you just saw between me and Greg Cody?

[Dan Le Batard]

I would say there's a lot of pent up frustration, maybe even anger. What show are we talking about here? Like is he mad at me from the Greg Cody show? Maddie? No, he's mad at Dan about last week's show. He's mad at Dan. But I think Dan thinks that maybe you should have tipped him off that your father's upset.

[Greg Cody]

I actually, on my latest podcast which dropped this morning, Monday morning, I actually make reference to that fleetingly because we do a little bit of our own tribute to Billy Gill and I mentioned why I appreciated Billy so much. And one of the reasons was I get beat up on this show off in oft times unfairly, just for the sake of a joke. And that happened last week when I was like in his mind. I was a few minutes late breaking the story on Billy leaving even though the story posted a few minutes before 9:03. Well, it posted on 8:58 and I have the. I have the proof but show starts at 8:55. This guy referred to me on the air twice. He repeated it as a fool.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like that. That's right.

[Greg Cody]

He said, chris, your dad is a fool. And he repeated that. I'm not a fool. I don't appreciate being called that. Even if, even if it's for the sake of a joke. And you know I try not to get on you. Like a few minutes ago you repeated that 1600 streak. Almost as if Mike hadn't said the same stat seconds ago, seconds earlier. So what the hell are you doing? Are you not paying attention to your own show? I could get on you more than I do.

[Dan Le Batard]

Would a fool not pay attention?

[Greg Cody]

I have civility. A fool might not pay attention.

[Stugats]

Dan.

[Greg Cody]

Correct.

[Stugats]

Dan, you broke the golden rule that you taught me years and years ago. Criticize the action, not the actor exhibits the behavior of a fool. Not calling him a fool.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Billy, when you were talking about scandal, I thought you were talking about on the Greg Cody show. Cause there is a PFPI scandal people need to tune in for.

[Stugats]

Okay, the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. Get it wherever you get your podcasts. He's hot. And look, everybody knows that I love Him. And sometimes I take it too far. And around the thing that made me laugh in the bakery here was him screaming at me some form of. I was wrong about my opinion. I was late by my opinion for by four weeks. I was late to my own opinion. Right, you were.

[Greg Cody]

No, I wasn't. No. Because in this case, my opinion was it may be time to make a coaching change. I didn't think that a month ago.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

Maybe you did.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

I didn't.

[Dan Le Batard]

But if everybody was ahead of you and you're now here, you can't acknowledge I'm late to this party. I now acknowledge what a lot of people were acknowledging a month ago. Like, this is pretty obvious.

[Greg Cody]

Okay? I'm the only one who's a caretaker of my own opinion.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay?

[Greg Cody]

By the way, Lebatard. Oh, no, this is not a bakery. Quit referring to your show in this studio as a bakery. The hell are you doing? Give me a turnover. Like. Like Tua said yesterday. Give me a turnover.

[Chris Cody]

Three of them.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, three of them.

[Stugats]

Three interceptions again. First since Marino to have multiple three interception games when the Flames are climbing highest. Like, this is how leadership gets swallowed. I don't want to talk about the Dolphins anymore.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, you do.

[Chris Cody]

Well, you don't have to, because Ian Rapaport has come out with the scoop. No changes expected for the Miami Dolphins.

[Greg Cody]

Hello. There you go. Steven Ross, moving like a snail. A human tortoise.

[Stugats]

So he's late to his opinion.

[Greg Cody]

No, he. He's the only one whose opinion matters. But I can have a comment on it if I choose.

[Dan Le Batard]

Where do you have him ranked now? You had him 15th at the beginning of the season.

[Greg Cody]

Right now, they would probably be in the 28 to 30 range.

[Dan Le Batard]

You think there could potentially be four teams better than the Dolphins right now?

[Greg Cody]

There's a lot. I mean, there's a lot of bad teams. There's a lot of disparity in the NFL right now. And, yeah, there are five or six teams that are really, really bad, the Dolphins among them, but not. Not at the bottom of the line.

[Stugats]

There's a theory back here that Mike McDaniel perhaps has the greatest job security of all, because the Dolphins are in the middle of a lawsuit right about, or, you know, firing a black coach because he's black. And so you can't fire two black coaches in a row. That's even worse. Get some hell out of here. Well, I'm just saying, Zaz, you. If you're in a lawsuit, you're not going to do stuff that kind of confirms the lawsuit. The general manager is black too. Can't fire him either.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I have heard that about the lawsuit, Brian Flores lawsuit being involved in the machinations that are going on right now. And one of them is that when, if, if you fire Chris Greer all of a sudden, maybe he turns against you in a trial, in a lawsuit. So.

[Stugats]

Oh, wow, that's juicy.

[Greg Cody]

There's a lot going on.

[Stugats]

I mean that's. What if they're hiring? But that's. I hadn't even considered that. That's juicy though. The idea that Steven Ross couldn't and wouldn't make a change. It's not because he's not frustrated. Does it's not because he hates the customers. But like really, I'm going to take the optic hits on that as well at the end of my life.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I still believe firmly, and I would bet big on this, that okay, he, McDaniel gets the so called vote of confidence right now. Fine. I don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can you imagine if Stephen Ross comes out today and gives a vote of confidence?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I mean, but, but that's what you do, right? If you don't want to fire your guy and you don't want him to twist in the wind, you say no.

[Stugats]

You guys are all consistently saying just lie to your people. McDaniel, stop talking so much to stop talking so much. I used to like it when talked a lot, but now you're losers. You're not nine and two anymore. Stephen Ross, say something. Don't say that. Say something different. Like that's why the conversation around this team, it's the same thing happening around the Jets. You cannot feed your customers, the game's too expensive. You can't have an absence of hope. He says there are five teams worse, man. It's the jets, it's the Saints who are in salary cap hell. And that's about it.

[Greg Cody]

Craig, like, this is pretty bad.

[Stugats]

Tennessee. Okay, Tennessee, because Cam ward's been sacked 27 times and he's not this half of a season. Look, man, we've sped all this up, right? Ken Ward has to figure it out in eight games in Tennessee. And there's a lot wrong in Tennessee. But yes, you're right. Tennessee is also one of the teams, but there are precious few don't have a chance. And even the Titans against the mighty Patriots of Drake May yesterday. Drake May putting on a perfect performance at the half. That game was closed. And then Cam Ward is fumbling the ball into his own end zone because that's what rookies tend to look like. Seven Games in sometimes when they're not quite ready to play the position. I'm just.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm shook by Greg's revelation, which may very well be true, that Chris Greer could still potentially be here because the Dolphins are afraid he turned state witness.

[Greg Cody]

It's something that I've heard floated out there by someone connected with the dolphins who I talked to regularly, mostly by text. And whether or not it happens to know. Even he said this is a.

[Stugats]

Happens to know even. Even this is a happening. Greg.

[Chris Cody]

He happens to know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Great Scott. He happens to know. He happens to know.

[Chris Cody]

I get what you're doing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Gather. Get the children. He happens to know.

[Greg Cody]

In this case. In this case, the person I talked to happens to think he might know. I'm just saying. I have heard this as speculation pedaling. I'm not reporting anything.

[Chris Cody]

You guys need to stay wise. That was just a little chicken wing today on Lebatar. Like, I'm still out in these journalist streets working sources.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I mean, via text. He told us, I have a text buddy who's very good to me.

[Dan Le Batard]

And dangerous game, putting out, like, fragile information via text.

[Greg Cody]

No, it really is.

[Dan Le Batard]

I would think the real. The real reporting these days still happens with a phone call. No, you don't want that in.

[Stugats]

Right, Chris?

[Dan Le Batard]

You don't want that in writing.

[Stugats]

You want your voice on the record sounding like Donald Sterling. Like, is this your voice? No, with the text that you can say, that's not me. Yeah, he just got. He changed someone else's number, put my initials there. That's not me.

[Dan Le Batard]

I got to hear it. If I see it, it's not true. I got to hear it.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. Not all sources are local.

[Stugats]

Mm.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay.

[Stugats]

That's journal. That's journalism.

[Greg Cody]

Not all dolphin sources live in Miami.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can call anyone that's not from Miami.

[Greg Cody]

I know. So you can text as well.

[Dan Le Batard]

You got that unlimited plan.

[Greg Cody]

You're the one who told me there's no such thing as voicemail anymore. I tried to leave a voicemail with this kid. It says mailboxes full.

[Dan Le Batard]

Interesting.

[Greg Cody]

He's like, nobody leaves a voice.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, you brought up voicemails. You said you didn't want to play this. Now we're playing.

[Greg Cody]

No, no.

[Dan Le Batard]

Saturday night.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, no. Go on. I. I don't want to play my.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, I'll set it up for the audience that we can decide if we play.

[Greg Cody]

People can go to the website. Our website, whatever.

[Dan Le Batard]

Our podcast.

[Chris Cody]

Greg, back.

[Stugats]

Greg, hold on. Just trust your son for a moment. Who's bakery. Who's in the bakery. He's one of our governing chefs.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, you can explain it, but don't play.

[Dan Le Batard]

FBI picks are due Saturday at 1pm if you don't get them in by then, that's not fantasy. It's sending in our winners for the week. Sent in by Saturday, 1pm if you don't do it, you start getting texts. If it's like 4 or 5pm he sends a text. This is the last text I will be calling. I had Saturday. I did my Oktoberfest on Saturday with my family. You know the thing where I got the toe a couple years ago with the guy's toe.

[Greg Cody]

Baloney.

[Dan Le Batard]

I did that thing on Saturday. So I was late with my. Admittedly my fault. I was late. It was like 9pm hadn't sent my pics yet.

[Greg Cody]

You were 9 hours late.

[Dan Le Batard]

So I get a phone call from my dad and then a voicemail in which I realized my dad doesn't realize he's leaving a voicemail. This is my dad after he called me.

[Greg Cody]

Don't play that. No, I don't want that played.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why?

[Greg Cody]

Because if you want to listen to it, it's on my podcast. I don't want that.

[Dan Le Batard]

He sounds hammered.

[Greg Cody]

For a couple of reasons.

[Dan Le Batard]

You don't want to play because you.

[Stugats]

Want to heard first on your podcast.

[Greg Cody]

Well, that's part of it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, come on.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, come on. Says a guy who has a podcast and would do the exact same thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

I would not.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, you would.

[Stugats]

I've literally. Liar.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've never withheld information here for my podcast.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, never.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, that's right. There's the toe from Oktoberfest.

[Stugats]

Yeah. So what a great sentence by you. My. I was at my. Like, I cannot tell you. Okay. I cannot tell you. You brought me back to a time so disconcerting, so unpleasant, where you revealed the toe from. Yes. Your Oktoberfest.

[Dan Le Batard]

I was in a bathroom and I looked down. I'm like, sitting at the stall, and I look to the right, and this guy's encroachment. Encroachment guy next to me. He's in my stall. His foot was in my area.

[Stugats]

I have to get to the Hampton. Hampton Farms. Nuttiest fan. Please keep this energy. I'll show Greg.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, Wait, so we're not playing the voicemail?

[Greg Cody]

No, you can hear it on my podcast, which dropped this morning. I mean, seriously, I'm not proud of it.

[Stugats]

Wait a minute. It already dropped?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

I didn't know I was being recorded.

[Stugats]

You did.

[Dan Le Batard]

You didn't hang up your phone.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Called me. But that's the best part of this.

[Stugats]

You've already aired this, and now you're. You're embargoing something you've already aired.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, because if you want to listen to it, you can go to my podcast.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is him talking to my mom after he's called me, saying that we need to. I need to be able to punish him for that. Not getting his pics in, and I need your vote. This is collusion. He's talking to another member of the league that he sleeps with, and he's a commissioner.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

And he's. He's pressuring her to vote his way on a league vote.

[Greg Cody]

I tried to explain to Junior and commissioners know each other. Okay. Goodell me. All the commissioners know each other. If Roger Goodell is trying to pass something with the other owners in the NFL, you don't think he goes to other owners and say, hey, I need your support.

[Stugats]

Audio proof of you colluding with another.

[Dan Le Batard]

Owner that he sleeps with?

[Greg Cody]

I don't call it collusion.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's the commissioner. She's just an owner. He sleeps with her.

[Stugats]

By the way, Chris, you're making. The exact point was why sources don't.

[Greg Cody]

Call, say thank you, Amin.

[Stugats]

Because we have him on the record.

[Greg Cody]

Amin gets me.

[Chris Cody]

Hey, Jeremy. Happy holidays.

[Dan Le Batard]

Happy Januka.

[Chris Cody]

I want to toast you. Actually, I don't. I will toast with you. Okay.

[Greg Cody]

We're co workers.

[Chris Cody]

Mm. Friends, you could say. No, we cannot say that. But we both enjoy an ice cold Miller Lite. That's true. Especially around the holidays. You know, it's a 50th anniversary of Miller Lite.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's really amazing every time we say that.

[Chris Cody]

I can't believe it. Well, it's crazy because, like, they've basically been partners with the Dan LeBatard show for half of their existence. When I put it to you that way. We got an old ass show. Yeah, we do. That's crazy. Hey, let's look around at our friends, not each other and our family, even though they're not here. I do miss your brother, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I know.

[Chris Cody]

I'll bring him back and take that first sip, look around, and know that we made the right decision. When it comes to a domestic light lager, Miller Lite is the best. And it's the holiday season, as we mentioned. Why don't you enjoy that holiday season by drinking a beer that won't weigh you down?

Don LeBatard.

[Greg Cody]

He called me on my own podcast. He called me full of shit, claiming that I'm faking interest in the solar eclipse.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, you do do this. You love to just get excited about everything.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, junior Stugats. I had to school you and explain.

[Dan Le Batard]

To you he was gonna take you to Augusta.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, when I was 17 years old, Alan Sherry and I used to haunt the Bueller Planetarium.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

Please, can I play this?

[Greg Cody]

No. Let's not.

[Stugats]

No, we must. No, no. Here's the thing.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, no.

[Stugats]

Well, here, Chris, this is what I'm telling you. This is. No, wait a minute. Greg, Greg, we're all a network here, okay? We're all working in this job together, right, to try and make sure that everyone gets the clicks. And no one's trying to deny you your beloved clicks if we play half of it. No, I'm thinking you call, you download it on your phone, give your father the click. Anybody can do that. And you just put that into the microphone.

[Dan Le Batard]

The audio is so bad enough.

[Greg Cody]

It's like.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's not great audio.

[Greg Cody]

Imagine that. I didn't know I was being recorded. I didn't know the phone called me. I didn't know I had left the phone, left me the voice. Why didn't you hang up? Why are you waiting for me to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Didn't answer.

[Stugats]

Is your voice. Your voicemail full? Because it's what is happening, right, Guy?

[Greg Cody]

He didn't take a voicemail.

[Dan Le Batard]

What if I have a solution?

[Stugats]

What if I have a.

[Dan Le Batard]

What if I. So you get the download. I play from your podcast into the microphone.

[Greg Cody]

I'd rather you didn't.

[Dan Le Batard]

But then you get the download.

[Greg Cody]

Can I stop you?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, this isn't about teasing it. He sounds hammered and he's embarrassed, but he.

[Stugats]

But he's gonna sell it for his own.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can we just play the first, like, sentence to let people get a taste of it, and then we'll stop it and they'll have to go listen to the rest of it.

[Stugats]

That's. That's a good comp. That's a decent compos.

[Greg Cody]

If you. You're not lying to me.

[Dan Le Batard]

You tell me when to stop it, and we'll stop.

[Greg Cody]

You stop after the.

[Stugats]

All right, let's negotiate this. Greg, what would plead. Hold on.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's long g. Many seconds.

[Stugats]

Listen.

[Dan Le Batard]

The full thing's 22 seconds.

[Stugats]

Okay, just let. We'll negotiate this in a second. We will, I assume, at some point get to the University of Miami. I got Hampton Farms. I have to do Nutty's Fan. And I got. Tony's top five is lingering out there. He wants to give us. He hasn't. He's been late with his football opinion. So when he says, Dan, the Colts are good. He's doing that on Tuesday after it's already been said. It's too late. So Tony wants in on the show, and I've got to get to him at some point with his top five because we got the basketball guy back there and he's doing a good job because he's got the best team in the acc. He's got one of two coaches now because it. Well, we'll get to it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stay focused.

[Stugats]

Yes. I'm sorry, no. Because I do want to get to the University of Miami, but Greg's temperature is hot, and I believe you've cooled him down now. But in order to tease his podcast and get him the clicks, maximum efficiency as a team. What little tease. Are you willing to give your son 7 seconds of a 22 second clip so they can hear the rest of your secret shame? So secret your drunkenness that you publicized it for your gain this morning?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think there are long enough gaps in here where you can kind of jump in and be like, okay, that's it.

[Greg Cody]

The best part of that is what your mother says at the end.

[Dan Le Batard]

And we won't get to that. We will not reveal.

[Greg Cody]

I don't want all of me before that. No.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, just play this out. Just say stop it when you want me to. Ready? Here we go. This is my dad calling me on Saturday night, leaving me a voicemail he doesn't know. He's leaving me complaining to my mom about me not getting my picks in in time.

[Greg Cody]

I'm going to send out a group text to the league this coming week proposing punishment powers. Okay, that's enough. If anything like this happens. That's enough.

[Stugats]

Stop it, Chris. You stop it. You said to stop it. You promised him.

[Chris Cody]

He does sound drunk.

[Dan Le Batard]

And then he goes and I need your support.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, all right. Just playing that part.

[Stugats]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He has not to. He has not to.

[Greg Cody]

You listen. Understand one thing. That wasn't the commissioner of PFPI talking to mom's maniacs. That was Greg talking to his wife. Okay? There's a separation of church and state there.

[Stugats]

But you were. You. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You probably. You told. You promised him you wouldn't. I was replay. Don't make him. Don't make him angrier.

[Greg Cody]

There's more that you can listen to on my podcast. That's all given like this happens.

[Stugats]

Look, I don't want to keep upsetting your father.

[Greg Cody]

I need your support. Okay? All right.

[Stugats]

It's.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's it. I promise.

[Stugats]

Lecherous. It's slurring. It's a bit. It sounds a bit drunk.

[Dan Le Batard]

In Greg's defense, it was the weekend.

[Stugats]

And it is collusion. It's absolute collusion.

[Greg Cody]

It isn't. Is it collusion when Roger Goodell speaks to the owner of so and so Hammered. He wants his support. Yes, it is hammered.

[Dan Le Batard]

You think?

[Greg Cody]

Good luck.

[Stugats]

Let's punish. Hey, let's get together and punish somebody. Yes, Bob Kraft.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

I need you to vote with me on this.

[Chris Cody]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

Like, what do you mean? This guy is the only one who's consistently late with his picks.

[Dan Le Batard]

Here we go. All right. No one cares about this part.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I do. As commissioner and as your father, quite frankly, it increases my stress level. Eventually, I call him. He never answers. You'll admit, though, text his wife to try to say, hey, your husband still hadn't given me his pics. Kick him in the ass.

[Dan Le Batard]

You'll admit that you're sleeping with a member of the league.

[Stugats]

Just to be. Just to be clear, though, he's not okay with the lateness of the picks, but he is okay being late to his own opinion and late to the show.

[Greg Cody]

I'm okay being having my own opinion when I have it, and I am okay being late to this show.

[Stugats]

Yeah, that's a great T shirt. I'm okay about having my opinion when I have it.

[Greg Cody]

Isn't everybody?

[Stugats]

But okay. I'm going to move away from the Dolphins now. Who are the Hampton Farms nuttiest fan contestants here? Because I did want to get to what Jeff Brom and Brent Key did.

[Dan Le Batard]

This weekend because, Dan, this is very exciting. We have two nominees. The nuttiest fan brought to you by Hampton Farms. Get nutty with Hampton Farms, the official peanut of bowl season. Vote for your favorite Nutty fan at LeBatard show on Instagram. We have two nominees here. First, the BYU fans making their president surf. Crowd surf. BYU President Shane Reese crowd surfing after they beat Utah. And I mean, you got to check for your wallet, right?

[Stugats]

Still undefeated. BYU is still undefeated. They want into the playoff.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, this guy crowd surfing that. That he could surf forever. There's a lot of people there and going against. We gotta always have some Miami in this. DJ Khaled before the game, warming up with the University of Miami doing calisthenics as we pan over to a DJ Khaled getting his workout in.

[Stugats]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

And he's a nutty fan. So you can vote at Le Batard show for this week's nuttiest fan.

[Stugats]

You good, dad?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, Whenever I have. There's a cough button down here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Other mic. Other mics are on in the room.

[Greg Cody]

All right, whatever. That kind of thing.

[Stugats]

Your glasses are steamed up.

[Greg Cody]

I know they are. I'm steamed up.

[Stugats]

Can. Can. Can I apologize to. To you here in front of everybody.

[Chris Cody]

So anything to avoid you.

[Stugats]

I'M talking calling you a fool twice.

[Greg Cody]

Well, is it a sincere apology?

[Stugats]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

There was a pause there. You see that dramatic pause before he said yes. Okay, then I accept.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, would you like the apology at the. At the expense of the entire clip being played? Is the apology worth that?

[Stugats]

Well, I negotiated it poorly, right? Because I gave him the apology. He questioned it. And. And it's funny that we're. We're bowing to this whim because again, he's already published the drunken slurs of. Of punishment and collusion with mom's maniac. Slurring not slurs for sure. That's your father drunk for sure. That is the end of the night and he is colluding and his booziest worst behavior because he wants to win the league. And. And you must be punished.

[Dan Le Batard]

And the part here I just want to reemphasize. A lot of people are like, oh, there's PFPI shtick bit. He has no clue that that's like. He thinks that is just him talking to my like that is so genuine.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Of how serious he takes it. That's my favorite part of it.

[Greg Cody]

If I knew I was being recorded, I would have had a little more liveliness in my voice. I sounded like I was coming out of a crypt. I mean, ridiculous. I'm gonna send out a group text to the league this coming week proposing punishment powers. Okay, that's enough. If anything like this happen, my mom.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, I love my mom there just like.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Stugats]

Tolerated so many calls like this. She's got go get her voice.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's very patronizing.

[Stugats]

I bet you her voicemails are littered with we should hire like investigator Ted Wells. I'm sure there are doz message. I'm sure I'm going to need you buy from your mother just eternal shame for your father which would be a trove of like a dozen messages like this that he calls whenever he said too many beers.

[Greg Cody]

I need your support. All right, look, we're an eight team league.

[Dan Le Batard]

3. Look at that collusion.

[Greg Cody]

3 people. 37.5% of the league are in his house.

[Dan Le Batard]

And you're never going to hear me saying that to them is my point.

[Greg Cody]

Because you think it goes without saying that your wife and your. Your daughter are going to side with you. So I need to marshal and corral the other people. I need your support. Damn right I do.

[Stugats]

And nobody in this family takes it as seriously as he does.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you. And proudly I invented PFPI. Although perhaps my brother did. One of us invented PFPI in 1969, I did. In a corner bedroom in 1440. I need your support. I do. I ain't lying.

[Stugats]

What a political campaign.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's wild.

[Stugats]

Booze up, calling your wife.

[Greg Cody]

I was tired. I was not boozed up. That's not slurring. That's I need your support.

[Stugats]

Pleading and longing and deaths.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

How thrilled were you when you stumbled upon it? Oh, my God.

[Stugats]

I'm like, thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just started clipping it and texting it to all my family. In Greg's defense, I mean, voicemail quality makes that sound a lot worse.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you, Billy. He's right, you know, it's not my fault that it was a bad tape, whatever recorded.

[Stugats]

So if you want the full, you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Know, hear my mom's reaction.

[Stugats]

Yep, there we go.

[Greg Cody]

Was funny.

[Stugats]

This is the promotion he's always wanted. Not this way. Obviously. Greg Cody thinks I do a shitty job of promoting his podcast on our network today. Today our audience is going to make you sore into the sky, searching out what was the leader of mom's maniac's reaction right to her drunken slurred called from the commissioner and being caught on tape in what is clear and obvious collusion.

[Greg Cody]

Your support.

[Dan Le Batard]

I literally have it queued up. Look, the Greg Cody show.

[Stugats]

We should all play it featuring Greg Cody.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's queued up.

[Stugats]

We should all give them the clicks. We should all play it at the same time. We should all like, we should have. I've got the time stamp and everything. What's the time stamp? Good to me.

[Dan Le Batard]

5,000, 242.

[Stugats]

Let's all do it. Let's have our other employees from the other room come in and all click on the podcast and all, all air this, you know, echoing into eternity so you can get all the clicks.

[Greg Cody]

Hey, how about those hurricanes, huh? I gotta tell you, Mike will agree with me. For a 2421 game, ostensibly a close game. That was an ass kicking. I can't believe it. Looks close at the end because the Canes and you know, I'm a big Cane supporter, Big Mario guy, and still am. But the Canes just crashed. They got their ass handed to them.

[Stugats]

Can you be a Cane supporter if you're a journalist?

[Greg Cody]

I need your support. When I say I'm a Kane supporter, what I mean is I think they're really, really good. I think they have a chance to win the next.

[Stugats]

But they are. But they are good. They are good. Yeah, but if you have four interceptions, they were lucky that none of Carson Beck's interceptions have turned into points.

[Dan Le Batard]

He had two on one drive.

[Chris Cody]

That was such an atrocious call. That was the worst interception that he threw. The one that didn't end up counting.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. It was a bad route though.

[Stugats]

I think you could crush.

[Chris Cody]

That's what he always says.

[Stugats]

Apparently you could crush him and them today because they disappointed what you, what we thought, what we were talking about. As if undefeated Hurricane teams from your are still the standard today when teams are going to lose once and yeah, twice a season. But that is a good team that ended up losing exactly the way that a more talented team will lose, which is the coach took away your stuff on the other side. You're very good at pass rushing. Here's Jeff Braum with two second drops and just throw it into the ground and it's fine. We'll figure it out. You're not going to beat us. We're going to let that quarterback beat us because what we're going to do is go ahead Mario with Fletcher, headbutt your way down the field. Try it here. We're not going to allow that very good. Tough running back to get off in the middle. You're going to go to the outside. No, you're not going to go to the outside with speed. No, you're, oh, you're behind early in the game and now what's going to happen, you're going to throw your way back into it. You got one real playmaker that you're just going to keep throwing the ball to and that's how they're going to lose. They lose at home. They shouldn't lose. They were a two touchdown favorite. Mario Cristobal now has five of those losses since 2022 as a two touchdown favorite. It's how he's going to lose. You're going to run into a Georgia Tech and you're going to have the better players and they're going to be more disciplined in some ways. They put you down 14 to nothing with a fake field goal and now your quarterback needs to sling his way out of it and that's how you win the Heisman.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that 13 and a half point line was absurd from the get go and that's why it sank down to 10 points by kickoff. But look, they just got there. And Jeff Brom out coached Crisbal and I rarely say oh he, no, that part was obvious.

[Stugats]

You take away their pass rush and throw everything in two seconds and you simply cannot run the ball. And your quarterback. Guys, this part was simple. Carson Beck was unbothered like that. He was not rushed a lot. That's four interceptions. And Louisville made three great plays on three of the interceptions. A lot of time that hits the ground on three cornerbacks made three great plays, but he's throwing into triple coverage 60 yards downfield.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, he's deciding to shoe easy checkdowns or check downs that even get them. You know, first downs with plenty of yards ahead of these receivers to take these deep shots. I do think some of these interceptions are what you would call healthy interceptions because he trusts his arm to take a shot. But it was a thorough coaching ass kicking. It wasn't just about getting rid of the ball quickly. They knew that if they had to go up against Miami's defensive line, remember Jeff Braum had a bye week as well, that even if they tried to do normal pass block that would not work. They turned to these cut blocks that were so effective against Miami that bought Moss the time and the passing lanes to do what he did. It was just a really impressive thing that Jeff Braum did and it was what you were afraid of with Jeff Braum having that much time to prepare this episode is brought to you by State Farm.

Don LeBatard, a woman who was out swimming with her friends is believed to have been swallowed whole by a 13 foot shark without any of her friends noticing. That's the weirdest part about that story. You're swimming with friends, you're having a good time and then all of a sudden people are looking around going, where's Shelly? Like nobody screamed.

[Dan Le Batard]

Every friend group has a Shelly though.

[Stugats]

That if they go missing because a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Shark ate them whole, you wouldn't notice. Classic Shelly. Exactly right.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

She went quietly.

[Chris Cody]

Apparently.

[Greg Cody]

If I'm swallowed whole by a shark, you're gonna know it.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

And at the beginning of the game when Louisville came out with two quarterbacks on the field, started running the Wildcat. At one point they had three quarterbacks on the field for a play.

[Stugats]

No, it was a clinic. And they've got a pro at wide receiver, Bell. He's faster than some of their corners and that's going to happen. It's a violent defense. It's a good football team. It really is. But if Carson Beck fell in love with Ooh, FSU. This is fun. Throw the ball 70 yards downfield and what? FSU lost to Stanford. To Stanford. What? And is incompetent at the end. More and more football is becoming about precision. Like I can talk to you about how Jags and the Jags are not serious people. And the Rams showed you why the Rams go in there. Stafford career high in touchdowns for the game. Devonte Adams, career high in touchdowns for the game. They're coming out in three tight end sets with one wide receiver. This team does it if they have Cooper cup or they have it with Puka or Devonte Adams. Adams. Because when you're run structurally with great precision and the Jags of SACJ on third and seven and you get two penalties on defense, pass interference and face mask, both of them side to side. And you ruin every good play you have in that game because the Jags are not serious people. Like this is a. Everyone's playing right now like a military game of who can be more precise. Where are Puka's hands open? Just get the hands open. The rest of them doesn't have to be open. We're going to do this super precise. Jeff Braum is showing you how they do it at the collegiate level. And so is Brent Key at Amiens Georgia Tech where this is exactly how they'll lose to Georgia Tech in the ACC championship game, where you've got the better players. You know you've got the better players. Oh, wait, two second drops, you've eliminated Ruben Bane. You're not eliminated him because he's great, but two second drops, nobody can do anything with that. And you're going to be able to run the ball. And this is the other part. Cristo. The Cristo ball the way he wants to play. Cristo ball. It's stubborn. It's Fletcher headbutting you up the middle. There were no outside runs in that game. Miami's fast.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, Miami can turn the corner. I think the conservative nature of the runs we covered this against Notre Dame and a little bit against FSU is I understand wanting to run the ball. I don't understand why. You're just married to the A gap. If I'm Jordan Lyle, I wonder what am I doing with my time down here in Miami because they're not going to give me the opportunity to do what I do better than anybody else in that running back room, which is turn the corner, get to the second level. It was very frustrating. You knew that Jeff Braum, look, he. He's done this, he's done this at Louisville. I think Louisville hasn't lost a game in the last two seasons by more than a score. He. He always makes up for talent deficiencies. Even when he. I mean, this is probably the worst Louisville team of.

[Stugats]

He's got four top five wins. He's going to be the next coaching guy. It's going to, it's.

[Chris Cody]

He did it to Ohio State when he was at Purdue. He is a really good coach. But. But Miami, like that's how, that's how you get beat. You stay married to the A gap. You're undisciplined and you get all these procedural penalties that back you up. The Okin Lola one was just mystifying and it's just. It was a really bad effort. And yeah, I guess you're encouraged that you had an opportunity to win that game. At the end when you put up an F plus performance, were you surprised.

[Dan Le Batard]

They weren't more conservative in the end.

[Chris Cody]

There when they were obviously Carson Beck spoke to it. It's kind of for a pass play. They like the play that they had. It's a conservative call in that situation. They were in game time, field goal range. They were. They make an incredible play to tip the ball at the line of scrimmage and the catch is even better. But you gave them that opening Carson Beck said Lofton ran the wrong route and I will say from it looked like did. But from that comment to the four picks, Carson back to rubbing his elbow the entire second half to make sure that the cameras caught it. It I've been a big Carson Beck defender. I said that most people in the media last week made up their minds because he's ugly and that's all that was happening. Yeah, there's a direct quote. Nobody's back. Carson back better. I said he had a better fall camp than Cam Ward did. That on Friday night was a Carson Beck that Georgia fans warned you about. From the recklessness to not being the greatest team guy to rubbing the elbow. I did not like that. He needs to bounce back.

[Dan Le Batard]

But at least we've never seen the the Canes, you know, lose games where it's close late so you won't have to worry about that again.

[Chris Cody]

They've won plenty of games that were close late though. You know, they don't have control of.

[Dan Le Batard]

Their own destiny to go to the ACC Championship.

[Chris Cody]

No, no, no. There is a nightmare scenario in which they can run the table. Although I will say it's different than last year because they do have the non conference wins. They do have the marquee wins, meaning.

[Dan Le Batard]

A better chance of getting in that.

[Chris Cody]

Large if they don't make Charlotte, they'll make it to cfp. However, that opens the door for them to potentially host a college football playoff game if they do run the table and not have a stadium to play in.

[Dan Le Batard]

You hear about this, Dan?

[Chris Cody]

Have you seen the reporting on this? There is a La Liga very controversial La Liga match that Barcelona is going to be playing.

[Stugats]

What are they protesting?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, yeah, they were. The whole league did all of La Liga.

[Chris Cody]

Steven Ross has been trying to get this game over here for more than two years. They have finally scheduled it, however they have scheduled it. It's going to be a 10:15am local start. By the way. They have scheduled scheduled it on a day that if Miami is thrown into that first round of the CFP and is in the situation which they're deemed host worthy, they may not have a stadium to play in. And it has Miami looking at contingency plans that include potentially playing a CFP playoff game in Orlando.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, why does this La Liga game have precedence over a potential Miami Hurricanes and active active tenant in that building?

[Chris Cody]

You would hope that the CFP tries to help you out, but the CFP is also married to their schedule and has things kind of identified. You would hope that they meet you halfway there. But this has been tied up in litigation for two years for them to all of a sudden get the green light, as hard as that's been, because La Liga, the teams over in Europe don't operate the way that the NFL does. In that. Yeah, no, no, let's grow the game and play games that mean something somewhere else.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right? I like what La Liga does. I hate the way the NFL does.

[Chris Cody]

The fan bases would hate that the customer base in Europe has so much power over capitalism.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hood. Hate it.

[Greg Cody]

I love what they did to protest all weekend in stadiums across Spain. The game began and then every player from both teams just stood there not playing during a game for 15 or 20 seconds. It was, it was quite a statement and television didn't have the balls to show. But, but that happened in, in La Liga and, and by the way, the Dolphins play a home game the next day, so that's going to be a crazy weekend.

[Stugats]

Zaz, to answer your question, the reason why it takes precedence is because Steven Ross is the owner of Hard Rock. So he's the one who's bringing this game here. Right. The. The Hurricanes are merely tenants and when you are not the landlord, the landlord can tell you to kick rocks.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right, right. No, totally. But that just feels like, man, you know, you're not being a very good partner. Well, it makes sense that they would play in Orlando, a town that's actually seen in undef team in the last.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know, two decades. Jeff Braum deciding, Hey, 300 pound guys, you're going to fall on the ground right away and we're going to get four yards every time. Like Ruben Bane Mezador. Mezador got hurt in that game. I don't know if he actually got hurt on one of these cut blocks, but they did not like that one bit.

[Stugats]

Why'd you turn into Tim Robinson right there? They did not like that.

[Chris Cody]

They didn't lie. They hated having offensive line linemen cut at their knees as soon as the ball was, was snapped. And it was just, I mean, Jeff Braum is so friggin good.

[Stugats]

It's a promising strategy.

[Chris Cody]

He's so good. He's so smart.

[Stugats]

Promising.

[Greg Cody]

Good.

[Dan Le Batard]

That was great.

[Stugats]

The Average throw was 2.32 seconds. You eliminate the pass rush that way. I mean, look, there aren't a lot of. I want to talk to you guys for a second about precision. The Jacksonville Rams game to go on the road and score 35 points because Matthew Stafford would be a league changer right now if he changed teams because of What I'm talking about a precision that, hey, Puka, the rest of you doesn't have to get open, just your hands. They've got to cover everything all over the field. And we're so precise with devonte Adams that devonte Adams has been good for a long time. That's as productive as he can be without puk, without Cooper Cup. Like, they could just recreate it because at that position, they've got. What you're going to see from Baker Mayfield now, where when you have one of these guys and you're watching him play professional college games that rub the elbow in the second half, when you start throwing the interceptions, people start crafting your story. Like, we're already. We're making these kids professional before they're ready to be professional. Okay, so four interceptions going to hurt when everyone was just saying a minute ago, Carson Beck, you can take that championship thing anywhere you go. You could be social media famous. You could get all the things. We'll steal your car in Miami. But when you start throwing the four interceptions, the city will turn on you like you're a pro. Like, we know this team is good. This team is good. Jeff Brom dared you to beat him. Dared you to beat him. Like wasn't going to let his quarterback beat him. Dared you to beat him. Said no running game.

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Stugats]

Nope. Go ahead, kid, and stand back there. Stand back there for a while. Never not pressured until the end of the game. And you're going to throw four picks because you keep throwing it down the field because you don't know what is it. You're going to have us now brain. Do you think that we think that C.J. daniels and Tony aren't people who can get open on shallow routes like he threw four interceptions. But I will say Louisville made three great plays on four of those interceptions. Well, but I mean, does that, does that not matter? There were no points off of that.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, but if you get. That's why they have turnover worthy players.

[Stugats]

Miami was gifted a few things. Two bogus roughing the passer calls. The game was gifted to them at the end. That fumble is like you almost did all of Brahms coaching. Undid it with one fumble in a disaster scenario that gave the game right back to Miami.

[Dan Le Batard]

But they couldn't undo Mario's coaching. That was a great tackle by that player putting his helmet on the ball. Like, like that's just not totally right.

[Stugats]

I was told Mike crashed out on Twitter during the game game.

[Chris Cody]

There were six tweets and one of.

[Dan Le Batard]

Them after another was Just more and more depressed.

[Chris Cody]

Miami is shell shocked.

[Dan Le Batard]

Brahm is in his bag. Stadium PA is on drugs. And not the good kind. This is bad. That's the first tweet of the six, Dan.

[Stugats]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

To where he ultimately blamed them for playing the conga.

[Chris Cody]

Biggest town of your life.

[Dan Le Batard]

I saw you criticize the crowd.

[Chris Cody]

The crowd was late arriving. That was a bad crowd. I mean, the student. The student section is a disaster. I mean, for all the people, like, for all the you didn't go to Miami crowd that's out there. The people that go to Miami support the program the least. It's revolting. And the PA has been inexperienced all season long. The game operations tried to do something new. First off, figure out a uniform level of sound. No one heard the team come out. You do this whole in the air tonight thing. Volume was so muted.

[Dan Le Batard]

That must be why they lost.

[Chris Cody]

You didn't set it. It's getting to the point where I think, like, Mario Cristobal should say something to Game Ops because they did. All right. The fake field goal that everyone knew was coming except for Miami, that was a perfect chance to take because if you're short, you still get the first down. PA is like, first down. Miami, after it was ruled, it was short of a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can't do that, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

You got it out.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can't do that.

[Stugats]

And Miami players were celebrating as if they stopped him short of the goal line when they got the first down.

[Greg Cody]

Like.

[Stugats]

Like, was this a new PA guy?

[Chris Cody]

It's the same PA guy. Although he's been back. Like, sometimes he's been getting our players wrong. There was. They tried something new and Carson Beck ran out. Is, like, now leading the team. Carson Beck. We were like, what is this? What is this? Sounds whack. There was one time where we almost got an interception and the PA is like, that was a close one. It was just like, cheesy and corny. And I know DJ Volume gets a lot of crap. Playing the conga before, like, the biggest third down of the game.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, you set up your life.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. Like, that's not DJ Volume making that call. It's game Ops. Let me fire up this crowd with conga. We're not supposed to be this family friendly atmosphere. You can toe a line between letting kids make sure they're safe here and playing some music that gets people pumped up. I mean, we're doing Sweet Caroline at these games. We're playing Black Eyed Peas. What the hell are we doing?

[Greg Cody]

I do think it's fair to say that when you win five games, in a row. Nobody gives a shit about the pa not true. Or what's being said.

[Chris Cody]

Not true. People are angry at the in game presentation. They've been going at a dj. Perhaps some unfairly to the point that the DJ is putting out like notepads like I'm sorry, it's my bosses. There's game ops. I'm not playing all these songs. It's been a thing and to be.

[Stugats]

Fair, nobody likes a PA who editorializes. Just tell us who caught, who didn't catch. It's a gift. Yeah, it's a. There's a skill to this you. There's an energy in a crowd. I miss J Ro K Mike.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean God, if the PA keeps playing like that, I mean you got to be worried. You got a home game against against Stanford coming up that's going to be a little bit nerve wracking. They just pull off a big conference win, then you travel to ess. I don't like what you're.

[Chris Cody]

I mean then it's home against your little dickish voice. What's with your little dickish voice voice?

[Stugats]

Is his voice literal?

[Dan Le Batard]

You're going to go to Blackburg.

[Chris Cody]

Nobody goes into Blackburg and wins the game. I don't care where they are. We having a real at the end.

[Dan Le Batard]

Of the year you got to be nervous.

[Chris Cody]

You're not going to make try a grown up voice dickish.

[Greg Cody]

I need your support.
