  • The crew gets tangled in a debate over the meaning of being at the "bottom" versus "top" of the totem pole.
    • Dan: “If you have made RG3 RG1, have you promoted him or demoted him?”
    • Chris: “I don’t want to do the work. I want you to hold me. I want to be on your shoulders.”
  • Discussion pivots to the logic of giving Robert Griffin III the “RG1” moniker, joking about promotion and demotion.

2. Hot Takes—USA Soccer Fandom & Defeat

• [02:48-03:30]
  • The group mocks a tweet from RG3 about the US soccer team losing because fans weren’t a "united front."

    • Tony: “Within the first 20 seconds…the striker for Belgium had an absolute rocket…this is going to be a very long game.”
    • Steve: “Every living room around America was just, like, yeah, bottom one, spot on.”

3. The Tom Powers Mystery

• [03:54-05:01]
  • Ongoing comedic investigation: does Dan owe a $50 fine for incorrectly declaring Minnesota columnist Tom Powers dead?
  • Dan: “What information did you find on the World Wide Web about Tom Powers…the columnist…who looked up from his bacon and said [Greg’s book idea] sounds duller than dog shit.”
  • Jonathan Saslow: “We have no proof that the Tom Powers you search of has passed away…”

4. NBA Trends: Depth Over Stars, Celtics vs. Heat Team-Building

• [16:01–27:30]
  • Dan and Greg analyze a shift in NBA roster management: teams must value depth over concentrating salary in two or three stars.
    • Dan: “Teams are choosing depth…You got to go 10 deep because your guys are going to get hurt.”
    • Explains Celtics’ payroll challenges—70% with two players; compares to Miami Heat’s approach.
    • Dan: “Everyone’s laughing at the Celtics…but they’re getting out ahead of the fact…our rosters have to be 10 deep and that money needs to be spread out.”
  • Discussion on how quickly a player contract (like Jaylen Brown’s) can go from franchise cornerstone to albatross with shifting CBA rules.
    • Dan: “Jaylen Brown went from…not many people objecting…to three years later, that’s a bad contract.”

5. Boston Celtics, Brad Stevens, and the Jaylen Brown Fallout

• [21:02–27:13]
  • Brad Stevens (audio, [21:02]):
    “You could see it…with the last couple of champions…you have to have the optionality to do a great job of building out depth that can hopefully replace the irreplaceable individual.”
  • The panel highlights how Stevens went from genius to punchline within a few years due to salary cap issues and trade perception.
  • Joking about ancillary versus ancillary (“ancillary” mispronounced repeatedly), with mock-argument over word usage.

6. Giannis’s Miami Number & Sports Memorabilia Value

• [07:10–10:18]
  • Hypothetical: Would a Miami Heat Giannis jersey with #34 (which he won't wear) become a collector's item?
  • Dan: “If you buy any of these things as a memorabilia investment, the 34 is going to be worth more than the 7.”
  • Chris: “I completely disagree. I think it’s worth nothing.”
  • Greg: “If you have a Hank Aaron baseball card and they misspell Hank Aaron, that’s a collector’s item.”
  • Replay of Giannis on a stream confirming he plans to wear #7.

7. Greg Cody’s Catchphrase Countdown (No. 70–19)

• [31:27–33:25]
  • Greg recites a rapid-fire list of catchphrases, some surreal (“I’m Fuller than Vern Fuller,” “Who made it a salad?”) adding to the show’s idiosyncratic charm.
  • Dan: “Now we have the new two from this week. We are into the top 20…We’re at number 18.”

• [37:12–44:05]
  • The panel reads from a listener’s thorough ranking of Greg Cody Show episodes, focusing on the Bottom 6.
  • Steve (Producer): “The number six worst episode…2020, episode 20: The ESPN employee who had Covid.”
    • Evaluation: Misleading episode title, underwhelming content.
  • #5: “The Ed Newman Interview”—a failed attempt to make former Dolphins guard Ed Newman interesting.
  • #4: “The Moss 5 Episode,” ruined by poor audio at a live event, dubbed “unlistenable” with a mention of the infamous “toenail episode.”
  • #2: “Dave Barry loses patience with Chris,” (2022). Iconic local columnist gets aggravated by Chris Cody’s interruptions.
  • #1 left unrevealed for suspense.
  • Group reflects humorously on these failures, with Dan pressing for details and everyone ribbing Greg and Chris.

Style & Tone

The tone is playful, irreverent, and self-mocking. Banter is quick, full of local references and show lore. The quirky, absurd, and proudly inefficient show mechanics (long lists, twisted debates, self-contradictory logic) are fully on display.

[Greg Cody]

You are listening to the Dan Lebatar show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports act now live in all 50 states. This episode of the Dan Lebatard show is presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Dan Le Batard]

You want to try that again with the proper cadence in the proper places?

[Greg Cody]

I thought it was pretty perfect, but I will if you want.

[Tony]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Greg Cody]

This episode of the Dan Levitard show is presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings the Crown is yours doesn't make it right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll please. At Lebatard show if you have made RG3 RG1, have you promoted him or demoted him? Because I do think we have a totem pole situation here where the totem pole we learned around here. If you're at the top of the totem pole, that's not where you want to be. You want to be at the bottom of the totem pole. That is a stronger position. I think we learned that. I'm still always confused by it because I thought the bott of the totem pole is the worst place to be. And I still sort of think that. Don't you guys think that? But it isn't right. The bottom is.

[Greg Cody]

It is.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, but I think I have this wrong in terms of how the totem pole works. I've now confused myself.

[Greg Cody]

Well, it's the foundation. It's holding everything up.

[Dan Le Batard]

The bottom, that's correct. But does that mean that you want to be at the bottom of the totem pole or at the top of the totem pole?

[Chris]

I don't want to do the work. You know, I want to be at the. I want you to hold me. I want to be on your shoulders.

[Greg Cody]

Right. It's like the latter. You don't want the bottom rung. You want the top rung.

[Dan Le Batard]

RG3, making him RG1 is A. You said you were demoting him. I think that might be a promotion, though. If you're making him the original RG, if you make him RG5, that's a demotion. You're. You're one of the last children. You're an afterthought.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, well, three. You know what? One and two are embarrassed by his take, and four is potentially embarrassed. If there is a four.

[Dan Le Batard]

He tweeted after the game. We lost because we weren't United front. As fans, we are supposed to be the United States of America, not the Divided States of America.

[Greg Cody]

That's so stupid.

[Yeti]

Is it?

[Dan Le Batard]

It's dumb.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

It's awful.

[Greg Cody]

Beyond stupid.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not why we lost.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

No, Trump's why we lost.

[Yeti]

That's.

[Steve]

That's better, I would say. Tim Reen,

[Dan Le Batard]

the people are mad. You cannot give the United States sports fan hope, the promise of some belief and then take it away in that fashion. Where we're watching a game last night and you realize fairly early on, oh,

[Yeti]

there's no chance here to do anything. Then nothing, nothing good is going to happen this evening.

[Tony]

Within the first 20 seconds, the striker for Belgium had a absolute rocket that freeze. Got a fingertip on. We were like, oh, this is going to be a very long game.

[Steve]

We were all saying to each other, like, two minutes into that game, they're going to get one here. Like, it was just a thing. Every living room around America was just

[Chris]

like, yeah, bottom one, spot on.

[Steve]

They're going to get. We might score and it might turn into a good game, but they're getting one here. It just feels like it.

[Dan Le Batard]

What have you guys found on Tom Powers? Do I owe $50 for killing a Tom Powers who is still alive? I don't believe he is still alive, but what does the Internet show?

[Jonathan Saslow]

We have no proof that the Tom Powers you search of has passed away. We did find a Tom Powers in Minnesota who had passed away, but not of the same job that you two were speaking of. The latest rip to that.

[Steve]

Yeah, rip to that one.

[Jonathan Saslow]

Powers.

[DraftKings Advertiser]

That got him.

[Jonathan Saslow]

I do have an article here from

[Chris]

2018 for that man's family to hear us talking about him.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Yeti]

Well, I think he's gone. I don't. I think they know he's we don't know. I think. Well, they do though. I think they know one way or the other. We might not know, but I think they know.

[Dan Le Batard]

And so I either owe $50 or don't owe $50. But what information did you find on the World Wide Web about Tom Powers? Who if you're just joining us, the Minnesota Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist, famously embittered, who listened to Greg Cody's personal idea of writing a book about his childhood home and the history of 1440, looked up from his bacon and said that sounds duller than dog shit.

[Greg Cody]

He couldn't have been more wrong.

[Jonathan Saslow]

And that Tom Powers was last in the news in March of 2018 with the lead of this article saying a well known sports columnist went on a Twitter tirade that included telling people to go screw themselves, a comparison of Hillary Clinton to serial killers, and the use of the phrase liberal. P dash dash dash dash dash S.

[Chris]

What word do you think he meant?

[Tony]

My kind of guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Pyramids. So Seth Wickersham writes the following and I believe his information. He's an exceptional reporter. He does a lot of good things on the Patriots. A lot of good things on football. This detail is an interesting detail. When Bill Belichick and the patriots divorced in 2024, Sean Payton considered presenting Broncos owner Greg Penner a proposal for for the ages. Hire Bill Belichick as head coach until he reaches 15 wins, enough to break Don Shula's career record of 347. Payton would temporarily step down to assistant coach and run the offense, then move back after Belichick became the all time leader. What does that look says? We are largely an audio medium and while that look on everyone can feel

[Steve]

my look speaks volumes.

[Chris]

Feel my love.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, it's not speaking anything. It's total silence.

[Yeti]

It's not. There are not volumes being spoken. There's nothing being spoken.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's just you don't like the idea. You think it's ridiculous.

[Chris]

It's an insult to Don Shullow. Yes, I would personally do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn't happen. Didn't happen though I'm not sure exactly what I would do.

[Greg Cody]

But I would make sure it insults the integrity of everything.

[Dan Le Batard]

I believe that Stugatz once famously claimed around here that he would do anything in his power if Dwyane Wade ever left the Miami Heat and played for another team to prevent a status statue from being erected. That statue can be seen from our

[Yeti]

windows now of Michael Chiklis. So I guess in some ways he did prevent it. Right there. That's not a statue of Dwayne Wade. It's meant to honor Dwayne Wade, but it's clearly not Dwayne Wayne. And if you're. If I'm really having to consider it, I do think Stugatz's fingerprints are all over what happened across the street.

[Tony]

He got to the sculptor. That's what it was. Paid off. The sculptor said, hey, here's a picture of Michael Chiklis. Put this on.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tony, are you headed across the street here to find out whether or not you can buy, still buy a number 34 Antetokounmpo jersey that's going to be a collector's item. And I dare say. Do I have this right? I must have this right. If you buy any of these things as memorabilia investment, the 34 is going to be worth more than the 7.

[Yeti]

Correct?

[Chris]

I completely disagree. I think it's worth nothing. It's. It's the wrong jerk. He. He's never. He will never worn that jersey number with the Miami Heat.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's why, though, it would be a collector's item. You know, 50 years from now, somebody's going to hold up that jersey and they're going to be like, how does this.

[Yeti]

How did this get made?

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the official NBA logo. They are very careful about how it is that the copyrights on all that stuff works. So you can't make knockoffs.

[Tony]

Somebody's going to have to explain. Well, Giannis was on a stream with Neon, and then he told Neon he actually wanted number seven, not number 34, in which the Heat had to change all their jerseys from number seven to number 34.

[Chris]

You're allowed to custom make your jersey. All right. On the NBA store.com or even at the arena. Okay. And so if I went on to nbastore.com and I made an Antetokounmpo jersey and I put in number four. That's a collector's item now.

[Steve]

No, because he never wore that jersey or intended to.

[Chris]

That's right. That's right, Chris. Because he never wore that.

[Steve]

34 was his number with the Bucks.

[Chris]

I'm sorry, is the jersey a Tony's going to go pick up? Does it say Bucks or Heat on it?

[Steve]

You sound like a fool right now. Your son does memorabilia, too. This is a bad look for you. Your son would be embarrassed right now by you.

[Greg Cody]

There's a story behind heat, antetokounmpo and 34. There's not with the number four. That's why it's a collector's item.

[Chris]

There's no story. Yes, there is printed out a jersey that is wrong.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Chris]

How is that worth.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, so it's tantamount to a mistake. Right. That also creates a collector's item. If you have a Hank Aaron baseball card and they misspell Hank Aaron, that's a collector's item.

[Chris]

So you think that one day someone shows up to an auction with a Miami Heat onto Campo 34 jersey. People are going to bid actual dollars on that?

[Duracell Advertiser]

Yes.

[Chris]

No chance.

[Jonathan Saslow]

If the Heat had made a bunch of James 23 jerseys when LeBron first came here before he decided to change to number six, you don't think that those would now be collector's items?

[Chris]

Why, of course they would never work. It's just a. It's a jersey that never existed. It's a wrong number on the jersey.

[Yeti]

Let's.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's hear onto tacompo on with the aforementioned neon here. Talking about this jersey switch.

[Greg Cody]

Would you ever change a number?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think yeah.

[Duracell Advertiser]

Seriously?

[Greg Cody]

To what? I haven't decided yet, but I don't think it's going to be the same number this year. You're changing your number?

[Yeti]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, that's hard.

[Greg Cody]

You know, look, imagine number seven.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not a bad number. I'm going to take that.

[Greg Cody]

You're going to use number seven?

[Dan Le Batard]

You want me to.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Steve]

There it is.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's the formality of the arrangement. He took Ray Allen's number 34 in Milwaukee. Maybe he didn't want to do that again in Miami. Do we have an explanation for why it is that he is changing the number the. Greg, can you explain something to me? I'm sorry, I'm going to. I got distracted. You're promoting something with such small type that I don't believe anybody can read what's on the screen that you're trying to promote.

[Steve]

Ridiculous.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's so small that.

[Yeti]

That is not.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you need to make bigger type for Cody Cup. The Greg codyshow.com visit often Greg vs. Chris vs. Yeti score guard updates with every World cup result. And then an unneed exclamation point to give off some. You need that sort of enthusiasm that no one actually has for what it

[Yeti]

is that's being done there.

[Dan Le Batard]

How's all that going there?

[Yeti]

This.

[Steve]

The amount of views. He does this thing where he's like it's gotten X amount of views and it's not as impressive as he hates

[Greg Cody]

it when I give a number. How about this? I'll just say that it. We've had visitors from. From all 50 states and 21 countries. It's been very successful. I mean, it was Yeti's idea. Credit to him. It's a website. I'm very.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think Yeti would like larger type to promote that website, though, than the type that you're using. That requires viewers of television to both

[Yeti]

question their eyesight and get up closer to the television. Like, you have to really get up

[Dan Le Batard]

close to the television to see how small that type is. It's smaller than Jeremy writes on his whiteboard. I don't know why we're afflicted as a media company with people who use fonts that are way too small.

[Jonathan Saslow]

I mean, I'm a trendsetter.

[Greg Cody]

There's a story. There's a story behind that. Cody Cup. The Greg Codyshow.com When I tried to make that the next size up, it broke into two lines. So that's the biggest font I could have that made it one line. So there was a method to my madness.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's because your name is too long. Like, not your name. Greg. Cody. No, the website's name is way too long. I can't read it from here very long. Cody cup, right? Gary Long, former Miami Herald writer Gary Long.

[Greg Cody]

Great one, too. Now losing Vegas. Hit that bet, boy.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Dan Levittard show, your exclusive home for Gary Long updates. Now lives in Vegas, the former Herald sportswriter Gary Long.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

For 22 years on this show, we've debated the greatest athletes of all time. Who's the goat in football? Who's the goat in soccer? Who's the goat in hoops? One thing that we all know is Dan's the goat of finding the worst possible take. But there's another kind of MVP goat that doesn't get enough credit. The friend who knows to show up with enough Miller Lights plus extra ice because they just know the one who already has seats at the bar when you walk up. That is Miller Time nvp. I've been on this show long enough to know that Dan is gonna make everything about his feelings and Jeremy is gonna push back on whatever I just said. But here's something nobody on this show will argue with. Miller Light is the summer beer. The original light beer since 1975. This summer, recognize your MVPs. We all have that one friend who makes every game better. Now it's time to give them their moment. Head over to Miller Lite's social media pages to learn more about being a Miller Time mvp. You can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller Time Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Co. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

[Jonathan Saslow]

So my schedule gets a little chaotic this time of year. Most days I'm here at the Metal Arc studios, and then I'm heading straight to another broadcasting or hosting gig. And especially in this Miami heat, it's insane. And not the Miami heat, but the Miami summer heat. I've been trying to keep at least one healthy habit consistent, and that's why I've been bringing Kachava's new travel packs with me. It's one less thing I have to worry about, which is great, because I'm already spending enough mental energy figuring out what shirt is acceptable to wear on camera or hosting or on the show that I'm not gonna get made fun of for. So I just throw one in my backpack and I've got an all in one nutrition shake ready whenever I need it. It's packed with plant based protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, greens, probiotics, electrolytes and more. So even when my schedule is all over the place, I know I'm getting something good in it. Tastes great, it's easy to take anywhere and there are no fillers, no nonsense. Take your daily ritual with you. Go to kachava.com and use code DAN for 15% off your first order. That's 15% off your first order. That's Kachava. K A C H A V A dot com code DAN.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

Tony, you know that moment at a party or at a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks?

[Tony]

I know it.

[Greg Cody]

Well.

[Tony]

It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy.

[Brad Stevens]

Yeah.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

You usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

I walk in like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

Cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night.

[Tony]

It has that effect on people.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

It does. You usually take the credit for it, but again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering.

[Chris]

Keep it Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

Keep it Cuervo, baby. Dan Levitar Baker Mayfield tearing up Tampa Bay 38 for 45. Greg Cody Stratham. This is the Dan Levatar show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Please stay on top of whether or not Tom Powers is alive or not. I want to know before the end of the show here whether or not I owe $50. I was saying yesterday, I get fined $50 for killing anyone who's not Dead. It's the largest fine allowable around here. I was saying yesterday that in the history of the Boston Celtics, they have never been laughed at the way that they were laughed at for everything involving Jayson Tatum and Brad Stevens. Yesterday did come out and say what I was telling you as that they have a problem with 70% of their payroll being locked up into players. When they won the championship, that was 46% of their payroll. And so they could fill out the roster with needed players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis and an assortment of others who made it a championship roster. But something that's happening now in the sport that's interesting. And when you have a bunch of competitive people and they're all looking for winning in the margins and the salary cap makes it so you're otherwise pretty equal, it's very hard. In baseball. The Rays and Marlins are doing stuff organizationally with base stealing, with plate discipline. They're doing an assortment of things that aren't just home runs and aren't just the strategy of how do we line up our players on the field based on tendencies. It's how do we give value to something that is undervalued throughout the sport. There are two things happening right now in basketball as a reaction to not just OKC and the spurs and their youth, but as a reaction as to the fact that the sport is physically breaking its players. So all of a sudden, you have money going to centers out of nowhere. The center is now being valued in a way that made it feel like the center was going to go extinct. And more relevantly, teams are choosing depth. You got to go 10 deep because your guys are going to get hurt. Like you're guaranteed for your guys to get hurt because everybody's guys are hurt. And you lost billions of dollars in salary last year, lost games that weren't played by people who were collecting their salary anyway. And so now the shift becomes, we need to go 10 deep. We cannot have 70% of our roster. And this, this is a danger that the Heat presently have, the way that they're structured. You can say a couple of things about this. This one's interesting to me. If you want to analyze what's been happening at the top of the Eastern Conference before last year, I'm going to say the previous five years before that, Boston and Miami were at the top of the conference in the bubble. You had Tatum being blocked at the rim by Adebayo. And at that moment, that was the difference between those two teams. And since then, the Boston Celtics have done a better architecture job than the Miami Heat, as the Miami Heat have fallen further and further behind. So the last act of the Miami Heat was an act of understandable desperation. But it's desperation and it's still playing behind the way the game is changing. Everyone's laughing at the Celtics right now, but they're getting out ahead of the fact, hey, our rosters have to be 10 deep and that money needs to be spread out. It cannot be locked up in just a couple of guys. While the Heat are going the other way, they're like, nope, we're going to lock it up in a couple of guys and we're going to be okay with the fact that one of them is 31 years old. And if not brittle, he's being questioned about his health. After last year. People are thinking that Giannis, his best days are behind him, that his prime is in the rearview mirror and that they've just done something that's not merely desperate, but also behind the way the game's about to be played. In terms of structure.

[Greg Cody]

I agree with you, except for this. I do think that he's sort of trying to play both sides and looking at depth with recent signings like Bobby Portis and Tim Hardaway Jr. Who are both classic sixth man type players.

[Chris]

I think when you say, and you know, Brad Stevens explained how two players, 70% of the cap, they want to get out in front of that. I think that makes sense. Matter of fact, I mean, last week I spoke about, you know, when there were Kawhi Leonard rumors here, how it would be a bad idea if the Heat went after Kawhi Leonard. I got tremendous pushback from the room over there, but it's because of this and I think you're leaving out and unless you can't have 70% of your cap being taken up between two players. Unless the player is worth that money, unless the value is there. And Brad Stevens is telling you can't have two players take up 70%. He's saying, we can't have these two players take up 70% when one of the players is Giannis. Hence why the Celtics tried to trade for Giannis. It's okay to have two players take up that much percentage.

[Dan Le Batard]

So let's listen here to Brad Stevens, explain about the sleepless nights and how much this one is ravaging him.

[Brad Stevens]

The unbelievable way we've played in the regular season in the last couple years, you know, the path looked a little bit more challenging to me. I might be wrong. I'm not going to stand up here and be defensive about that. But the path looked a little bit more challenging with 70% of our cap and such a high percent of our usage tied into two players. And the reality in this era and in this day and age of the NBA, and you could see it obviously with, with the last couple of champions and some of the teams that were at the very top of the league when it was all said and done at the end of this year, is that, you know, you have to do a great job and you have to have the optionality to do a great job of building out depth that can hopefully replace the irreplaceable individual.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm going to say this again because I think it merits underlining. The Boston Celtics in their storied history have never been laughed at for a transaction the way they're presently being laughed at for this one. Here's Brad Stevens talking more specifically about Jaylen Brown.

[Interviewer]

Jaylen said that he felt disrespected by this trade process and he wished more had been explained to him. I know you're talking about trying to be as upfront and communicative with him as possible throughout this, but do you wish at all that either you handled this process differently or there was anything on your side that was not conveyed to him that you wish you had?

[Brad Stevens]

In hindsight, I think I already answered that earlier with Jay, but I would just say I'll just repeat that. You know, I'm hopeful that we can sit down and talk about that at some point. But you know, I'm sorry that he feels that way.

[Dan Le Batard]

One of the reasons they're being laughed at is I think I can construe an argument for the Sixers before that trade feeling like if they were going to have to get rid of Paul George, they would have had to staple a first round pick just to get rid of him, that they would have had to give something else. So. So essentially all you got was a little bit better than that. Anywhere they would have sent Paul George, they might have had to give somebody a first round pick in order to take that contract. But let's talk for a second about the word you used. Value. In a salary capped sport. I'm competing against you and I have no money advantages. The salary cap has altered so much of this and it's, it's happening faster and faster. The Celtics are now owned by hedge fund people and hedge funds are like locusts eating cornfields in terms of just grabbing efficiencies and stealing the stole the soul from things. The greatest advantages in football, for example, is having a quarterback at value on the rookie quarterback scale because then you can fill out your roster with an assortment of things. Jaylen Brown went from not many people objecting to him getting the supermax as to three years later. That's a bad contract. It's a bad contract that wouldn't be known as a bad contract by everyone if the Celtics hadn't just made it known. Like, I don't believe people were reporting the idea that seventh highest paid player in the league, Jaylen Brown was a bad contract until this deal got made. That's not something that people saying, Well,

[Chris]

I think, I think you also have to point out where Jaylen Brown signed that deal two years ago. I believe it was right. Well, this new CBA only started three years ago, so it was only a year into where this new deal from Jaylen Brown was signed. We have more information now as far as how the CBA and the new salary cap has affected team building. So I think that plays a part.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, it does play a part. But the part that I find more interesting about this is that Brad Stevens was viewed three years ago as being ahead of the curve and now he's being laughed at the way no executive in the history of the Boston Celtics has been laughed at. That happened pretty fast like that, that the numbers and however it is they're doing the accounting in the sport changed

[Yeti]

pretty quickly on a guy that we

[Dan Le Batard]

were saying three years ago, oh, look, he's passed Pat Riley. He knows how to build teams better than Pat Riley. He just built a champion and he just gave Jaylen Brown a supermax that he had to give him. There, there would have been no one in our audience after coming off of a Finals MVP who would have said, yeah, you don't give him that money. You let him, you let him walk.

[Yeti]

You risk him being unhappy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Everyone said you have to give him that money at that time. How does that change that quickly? How does it, how does the sport move so quickly that Brad Stevens essentially won a championship by reinventing it? It's fairly unprecedented. What you're looking at. That town is crazy, right? Theo Epstein won as a 30 year old, 34 year old and Brad Stevens went from, nah, don't want Red Auerbach's job, don't want to be just the coach, want to be the guy who's the general manager and then wins the title and now is being laughed at. That to me is crazy.

[Chris]

Well, I think there's a couple of things that we need to add for context. As well. While he's getting this reaction, number one is you traded this player for Paul George, who most people believe is not a very good player anymore. So that plays a role in him getting laughed at.

[Tony]

His.

[Chris]

Hold on. That's what you got for Jalen Paul George, the player who. I still believe the Sixers, if they could have gotten rid of him and gotten nothing in return. I'm not talking about nothing like lesser players. I'm talking about legitimately nothing. I think the Philadelphia 76ers would have done it. So that's why Brad Stevens getting laughed at, but also because what preceded this the week prior, the idea that the Celtics now would rather have Paul George and Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Shireman rather than Giannis. Like they weren't willing to give up those ancillary players who both started Game seven and scored zero points.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you sure?

[Chris]

Yeah, I think it's ancillary.

[Greg Cody]

No, it isn't.

[Chris]

All right, I'll do it now just to appease you. But both those two players, Shireman and Gonzalez, scored zero points in their Game seven loss. And you'd rather have those two in Paul George than Giannis. You're getting laughed.

[Dan Le Batard]

You want to try that word again?

[Chris]

Ancillary. They're ancillary pieces.

[Greg Cody]

No, they're not. They're ancillary.

[Yeti]

I gotta.

[Chris]

I might have to look into that. I don't know if you're right about.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think that you know how to be communicative.

[Interviewer]

Communicative?

[Greg Cody]

Little stumble there.

[Dan Le Batard]

I did. I was setting up Roy for the joke there. Instead of communicative, I said communicative. It's communicative.

[Chris]

[Yeti]

The hoy is Captain Slappy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Jonathan Saslow is this chum bucket.

[Greg Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar Show.

[Jonathan Saslow]

Greg, help us out here. Have you ever heard communicative?

[Interviewer]

Communicative?

[Greg Cody]

I've heard both.

[Jonathan Saslow]

Really?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Unlike ancillary. I think that's. That's a word that actually allows you thinking of artillery.

[Chris]

Are you sure it's ancillary?

[Greg Cody]

No, I'm not. I'm sure it's not ancillary.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's ancillary. You keep doing this wrong. Are you doing artillery? What's happening here?

[Yeti]

It's not.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is ancillary. It's not ancillary.

[Chris]

Okay, I got a problem now because I've been saying ancillary into a microphone for many years, okay?

[Dan Le Batard]

But it is not.

[Yeti]

It's.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a fact that it is not.

[Greg Cody]

It was correct. If you only.

[Yeti]

It's.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is surprising that you are using that word, that incorrectly.

[Chris]

If no one else is correcting me. I mean, wouldn't that lead me to believe that you're wrong?

[Greg Cody]

Don't make it right.

[Dan Le Batard]

That would be how you would climb the logic ladder to arrive at you being right and the rest of us being wrong, but not everyone else is wrong. I've never heard the word pronounced the way that you're pronouncing it. It's the first time you ever heard

[Greg Cody]

it pronounced that celery as ridiculous. Laughable.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg, do you have your Catchphrases ready? Do you have your list of top 70 catchphrases of all time? Chris, get for me, please, your father's top six episodes of all time.

[Greg Cody]

Please don't.

[Dan Le Batard]

And top and bottom six episodes of all time. Excuse me. So go ahead. What do you mean? Don't do that.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, that's why people are flocking to my latest episode is to Hear those top six 50 states.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now we have the new two from this week. We are into the top 20. Even though I thought we were almost done with the bottom half of the top 20. We're at number 11. Now we are at number 18.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. There' rumors unconfirmed that the final countdown may expand from 70 to 75. I have not said that. I do not condone it. It's just a rumor I'm reporting. So next week on the Greg Cody show, we will reveal numbers 18 and 17.

[Dan Le Batard]

What do you mean next week? What about this week?

[Greg Cody]

We skipped the catchphrase countdown this week because it was. It was a special episode with the listener who listen to our entire back catalog to come up with a top six and a bottom six all time

[Steve]

episodes, otherwise known as. We recorded that episode six months ago so we could take this week off.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it wasn't quite six months ago.

[Miller Lite Advertiser]

Oh, fourth of July.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah. So ganke.

[Steve]

We just forgot to do the.

[Dan Le Batard]

So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you not only denying us a refreshed number 18 and number 17 that updates the list that used to be at number 12 and number 11, but somehow we keep going backwards. You're not only denying us, you're also not allowing us to talk about that episode that you did that that references the rankings of your top six and bottom six episodes of all time.

[Greg Cody]

No, I love talking about it. Thank you. Let's keep talking about it.

[Yeti]

You just said.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, you just.

[Yeti]

Where's the update?

[Greg Cody]

Okay, the update is not available because it hasn't been out yet. It hasn't been revealed.

[Chris]

Let's put it out.

[Greg Cody]

It's going to be revealed next Monday on my next episode.

[Dan Le Batard]

Give us one. Give the listener. Give this audience one of those at least. And you can give the your podcast. But we're expecting something every week here by way of update. That's why we just did what we just did.

[Yeti]

Where you've read the other 50.

[Greg Cody]

The other 70. It's the other 50. You're right.

[Chris]

I mean, you have the top 20. Like you know what the phrase.

[Greg Cody]

No, I don't. They're a week by week list.

[Chris]

No, no, that's not what I'm asking you. Like you have. The list is done, right?

[Greg Cody]

You have. No, no, it isn't.

[Chris]

You're still making the list.

[Dan Le Batard]

You don't know what number 18 is

[Yeti]

as we sit here.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not true.

[Greg Cody]

I don't. Greg, it could be.

[Yeti]

I won't read.

[Greg Cody]

I won't read it out loud.

[Dan Le Batard]

But let me see your list.

[Yeti]

Let me see.

[Greg Cody]

Because it stops at 19.

[Tony]

You brain beat me.

[Greg Cody]

He is brain beating me.

[Steve]

That's not the next one. That's just.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's true.

[Yeti]

It's not on here.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Yeti]

No, Way it's not updated, but it's

[Chris]

on like your files on your computer.

[Steve]

He knows what the next one is.

[Greg Cody]

I do not know what the next one is. I have. For the final night, the contenders for the final 18 include about 25, 27 possibilities.

[Chris]

So hold on a second.

[Greg Cody]

So including a couple of new entries

[Chris]

of the final 18, you're going to pick the final 18 of a possible 25 or 20 so entries.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Chris]

So seven could be left out of your list altogether, but they are possibly good enough to be in the top 25.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. That spawns the rumor that the list may grow from 70 to a final 75, which has not been confirmed yet. I have to admit, this list has. Has gone on a bit longer than originally anticipated.

[Chris]

Aren't you the person who could confirm the rumor?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, well, it is an eponymous podcast.

[Chris]

I don't know what that word means.

[Greg Cody]

In other words, my name is in it, implying that I'm the boss of the podcast, so. Yeah, but. But I have input.

[Dan Le Batard]

Your name's in it twice. The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody.

[Greg Cody]

Greg Cody. Right. And I think I'm the only podcast that does that, which makes me very proud. Surprised there haven't been a bunch of imitators.

[Chris]

My wife asked me that the other day when said the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody with. She then said, why is his name in it twice?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. What'd you say?

[Chris]

I don't have time to explain this bullshit.

[Greg Cody]

Good answer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Actually, Chris, where are we with. I don't care about his top six episodes all time of the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, but I would be interested in the worst six episodes because I imagine that both you and yet take some inventory of your life and are made a little bit sad when you think about those six.

[DraftKings Advertiser]

Very.

[Dan Le Batard]

So, all right, so give us.

[Yeti]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

Can we do this? Can we compromise here? Can Christopher give you the two two of the worst six of his choosing? In other words, this can be number six or number one. Don't even say the numbers. Just say two of the six.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you want to negotiate, we can, but it will be in exchange for a catchphrase update.

[Greg Cody]

Well, we don't have the catchphrase.

[Steve]

Let's just start here. I'll do two of them and then we'll see where we're at and see if you want to reveal more. I feel like you'll be okay with it.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Steve]

The number six worst episode, according to Steve, our listener who listened to all 350 plus episodes of our podcast history. He says the sixth worst episode in 2020. Episode 20. The ESPN employee who had Covid.

[Dan Le Batard]

This was like,

[Steve]

we found some guy at espn, really nice guy. I don't even want to say his name.

[Greg Cody]

I don't want to do that to him.

[Steve]

Very nice guy. And we were just like, we found a guy.

[Greg Cody]

It was so misleading. It implied that Stephen A. Smith was on.

[Yeti]

And then it was, wait, wait, wait, wait. Explain to me the words.

[Steve]

So what happened? And he's like, I gotta. I got pretty sick.

[Greg Cody]

Who was he?

[Steve]

Again, we don't have to say his name.

[Yeti]

Okay, but wait, why? Why?

[Steve]

It was like a low. It was like a tech guy at espn, just a guy I met in Bristol, stayed contact with. And then we were doing the podcast, and it just became. I became aware that he had Covid. I was like, we found. I know someone who has Covid. Let's talk to him.

[Yeti]

Okay, so this is. This is close to investigative journalists. Is this as close to Pablo Turing finds out as your.

[Greg Cody]

It's a forerunner.

[Steve]

Was that a headline?

[Yeti]

So you have five worse than this. It wasn't a headline. No one picked up on it. It was not ground zero of COVID It was just some guy.

[Greg Cody]

That's exactly right.

[Yeti]

It wasn't. It wasn't the first known carrier of COVID It was just somebody at Disney. And by the way, I will never not laugh at the way that the ESPN and Disney protocol sent us back to work with hand sanitizers. All right, you're good here. We. We've been preparing for this. We've been preparing for a pandemic. Here's a cheap $9 machine that spews goo. You guys will be fine. You know what is. What is another of the terribly.

[Steve]

The historically terrible episodes number five in 2024, episode 209. The Ed Newman interview.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. God, I had to fight for that one.

[Steve]

He wanted to put that. That guy on so bad.

[Yeti]

Former Dolphin center Ed Newman has been a. Oh, sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. Former Dolphins guard Ed Newman.

[Yeti]

He made it worse somehow. He made it worse because center would have been more relevant, but no, he downgraded it immediately. And he's right.

[Steve]

He become a lawyer.

[Yeti]

Yes. No, he's a judge. I think he used to be.

[Greg Cody]

He retired.

[Yeti]

Well, a boring quote for all of his years.

[Steve]

And he didn't change.

[Yeti]

Yeah, no. And Greg arguing on behalf of let's have Ed Newman on that was one

[Steve]

of those things where he got the pitch from the. He was releasing a book or something, and it's like, hey, have Ed Newman on. And I'm like, no. And my dad's like, we got to do it. Dolphin legend.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. We went through an unfortunate phase where we had on a lot of authors, and I also had to get over the idea that it has to be a sportsy podcast involving local athletes. And thankfully, I've got no hair.

[Dan Le Batard]

You guys made fun of Jalen Brunson and downgraded him because he had hairy shoulders. In the history of South Florida sports, I associate two men more than any other men with being hairy. Ed Newman and Tim Ruddy.

[Greg Cody]

Great shout on Tim Ruddy. Yeah, that's a good one.

[Dan Le Batard]

That guy had a fur coat of pubic hair on the front of his body. The pubic hair went all the way up from the pubic area all the way up and was just a fur coat.

[Chris]

There was no gap there.

[Yeti]

It was just.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was very hairy.

[Steve]

I remember you could see his hair, like, when he was in uniform and in pads with a helmet on. Like, it would, like, the little space on his neck in between, like, his jersey.

[Dan Le Batard]

Very hairy. Unusually hairy. And I downgraded his athletic criticism because of. Because he didn't whacked. Because he didn't take care of any of that.

[Yeti]

It was too.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was too hairy. I need the rest of this list. Give me the rest of this list.

[Greg Cody]

Give me two more.

[Dan Le Batard]

Give me. Give me another. Okay, two more. Give me another two.

[Steve]

Episode 52, the Moss 5 episode with terrible audio. We tried to make an episode out of a MOS Miami, and it was so loud, and it was just like no one could hear it. We got so many complaints. It was just because of our production. That was the worst episode.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. You guys forgot that in order to produce things as a media entity.

[Greg Cody]

Talk to me, Greg. It was unlistenable. That was the toenail episode.

[Dan Le Batard]

For those of you who do not know what the toenail episode was, who would need some context, a line that stretched thousands of people long. Went to go see Greg Cody's rotten toenail.

[Chris]

Get out of here.

[Dan Le Batard]

In a glass.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not making that up. It was in a glass case.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was in a glass case. And the line.

[Yeti]

Line.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's the longest line we've ever had for anything.

[Chris]

And what happens? You would just take a look, and

[Steve]

then they keep a photo for the right price.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. No selfie.

[Dan Le Batard]

There used to be before that, a long line for watching the video of Greg Cody drunkenly falling in the bushes while his son exploited him for content. That was the longest previous line before the toenail was taken off. I believe it was cut by Stugatz, was it not?

[Greg Cody]

It was. And he pinched me. He drew blunt. Love him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Anyway, give me another of the worst episodes in the history of the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, number two, episode 53.

[Steve]

In 2022, Dave Barry loses patience with Chris for interrupting him.

[Greg Cody]

We have Dave on once a year and he and Christopher awkwardly. It was great actually, because it was so awkward, but Christopher was interrupting him so much.

[Steve]

Not best for my timing that episode.

[Greg Cody]

The Dave Barry actually got angry, like out of character.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've never seen Pulitzer prize winner Dave Barry, a famously affable man, angry. I've never seen that. It would take your son being so unprofessional.

[Greg Cody]

And he was.

[Dan Le Batard]

I need these other two. I need. I need the rest of this.

[Greg Cody]

One more.

[Dan Le Batard]

One more.

[Greg Cody]

Leave number one. Leave number one unsaid.

[Steve]

Okay, number four, 2023, episode 195. The Post Thanksgiving episode where Greg and Chris fought a lot.

[Dan Le Batard]

I seem to be at the problem

[Greg Cody]

of a lot of this. Yeah.
