Transcript

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.

[Stugats]

Against the spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Roy, what do you got?

[Chris Cote]

All right, we got Panthers at Maple Leafs tonight. Panthers have failed to cover the puck line in seven of the last eight divisional games and home team has won 10 straight games involving the Maple Leafs and the Maple Leafs. Right now this game is going to be at a Scotiabank arena where the winning margin is 1.7. The Panthers will be without soon to be Olympian Seth Jones for the next couple of weeks after taking a puck up high. That's not going to help the offense from the blue lines, so.

[Roy]

Hey, give me that spread.

[Chris Cote]

Go ahead with the Maple Leafs who are dogs tonight at one and a half goals against the spread.

[Roy]

Picking against the home team.

[Evan Cohen]

It's a national TV game too.

[Roy]

Oh, you're picking for the home team. Sorry, I wasn't.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. Yeah, there you go.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, he's picking for the team that's playing in the home game, but not our home team.

[Roy]

I heard that right.

[Stugats]

Because it's in Toronto.

[Roy]

It's in Toronto. I understand that. What are we doing? But the Panthers make me feel like an idiot.

[Chris Cote]

All home team, but not the home team.

[Dan Le Batard]

But they're playing in another country.

[Roy]

Yeah, no, that's what I meant. The Toronto Maple Leaf. All right. Yeah. I'm gonna take the Colorado Avalanche against the spread because it's hard to beat them. Regulation. A lot of teams pull the goalie, so always great opportunity. They're really good in the third period and I think they'll turn this thing around.

[Chris Cote]

The Panthers beat them in regulation.

[Roy]

I know. So depending on that season. Yeah, I'm rooting for the. Not the home team here.

[Evan Cohen]

Colorado home.

[Dan Le Batard]

That game. Colorado has three or four losses in regulation this entire season.

[Evan Cohen]

Three now against the spread. It's crazy, right?

[Roy]

Hey, against the spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings a crime of your.

[Evan Cohen]

We're halfway through the season.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. That is nuts. They've been very good and the Panthers don't have a better victory than that one at home in their most recent contest against Colorado. I do want to correct something at least to be fair to Ashton genty. He had 1300 yards this year, Greg. And a thousand of them were up.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, 975 of them were rushing, but.

[Dan Le Batard]

A thousand of them were after contact.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like he.

[Roy]

They gotta fix the line.

[Dan Le Batard]

Their offensive line is broken. But what would you have liked him to show you? When the offensive line is that bad, they cannot Pass the ball. And they only have a tight end they don't have. They traded their number one receiver. So what would you like? How would he have put up numbers in that offense that just got Pete Carroll fired after one.

[Evan Cohen]

You saw him in college. It's not like he doesn't know how to run, right?

[Greg Cody]

No. No. And maybe I was harsh to say he had a bad rookie year. I would absolutely call it a disappointing rookie year based on where he was drafted and the expectations of 3.7 yards per carry. Ranked 45th in the league among qualified running.

[Stugats]

I imagine that NFL headquarters. There's a room where it's like, this is the room where we track stats and everyone's in charge of one stat. Like, I'm the yards after. So my job is to keep track of when someone's been touched. And I'm just at my desk and I'm like, he's been touched.

[Jeremy]

He was touched three yards before.

[Stugats]

Like that. It seems like a hard thing to track.

[Greg Cody]

It's stupid.

[Stugats]

Like the yards after contact, are we talking about just grazed tmi, Is this.

[Roy]

Like a hit that is one of those that I always take their word for.

[Stugats]

Exactly. It's just.

[Evan Cohen]

You know what I think is the hardest stat to keep track of? I. And I wonder this every time I go to a Panther game and they show on the screen there in real time, the ice time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Evan Cohen]

Who the hell keeps track of all that?

[Roy]

They actually have trackers now.

[Stugats]

Is there a room in the height. In the ice, high up.

[Jeremy]

Gadget is on the ice.

[Roy]

They wear those things.

[Evan Cohen]

That's how it. That's how they determine it.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Evan Cohen]

And it's updated in real time.

[Roy]

Yeah. It's a lot more seamless now.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Evan Cohen]

Very impressive.

[Stugats]

Let's all go around the room. The stat you'd most like to be in charge of. Greg, you were official scorer for minor league baseball.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg is sitting here saying, too much information. He's objecting to all of it. Greg Cody is anti information, he's anti learning, he's anti getting better, he's anti improving, he's anti wisdom, he's anti open mind. And because some of that's true, because he is against those things, he sees no value in the. I believe there's nuance in saying. You said Ashton Genty was just terrible. And I'm telling you, he had a thousand yards after contact. That's useful information on neutering. Your point, Diluting it at least a little bit that he's terrible, because if he's doing that much after contact, it's not irrelevant.

[Greg Cody]

I don't think I said he was terrible. I think he said he had a really bad season. And I continue to think it was a really disappointing season based on draft and expectation. But, you know, growing up, I knew what a good baseball player was. I didn't need to know what his OPS was because OPS hadn't been invented yet. You know what I'm saying? I knew a guy who could hit home runs. I didn't know that his. The velocity of his ball leaving the park was such and such, you think didn't matter then and it doesn't matter.

[Dan Le Batard]

You think those are the same, though? You think ops, which is an excellent individual measurement of what an individual is in the batter's box independent of his teammates, is the same as exit velocity on a home run?

[Greg Cody]

They're both examples of too much information.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no. The first one is absolutely not the first one. You can object to the second one if you want, but the first one do want the first one. No, Greg, the first one's an accurate. The first one is an accurate measurement of what a baseball is as a hitter. It's the most accurate measurement that you can get. That. That separates him from RBI and all the things that are dependent on teammates. When we break down Ashton Genty, what we're doing there is we're not able to separate him from his teammates. His offensive line was terrible. Geno Smith. Come on, guys. You saw what Geno Smith was in Seattle. Look at what he was this year. Look at what Kenny Pickett was when he got out there. Did you guys see what the packers did this week? And it was like 50 yards of offense they had by the fourth quarter. That's what the Raiders were when Kenny Pickett replaced. They were terrible at offense. It's not Genti's fault.

[Roy]

So how do you rebuild that? Do you just load up the offensive line for a future quarterback or do you get the quarterback knowing that you need the offensive line? But this quarterback has really good numbers against pressure.

[Heather Dennich]

Bijan Robinson in his rookie season had 976 yards on the ground much after contact. Ashton Genti, a 975.

[Evan Cohen]

Okay, so I gotta backtrack. How does the technology on the skater know when they're on the ice so that the clock starts running again?

[Roy]

They all have eagle eye. Dude, who has eagle eye? They all have that technology. Have you ever. Not who's they? Have you ever watched, like, these, like, fan watch parties at, like, the Tampa Bay Lightning when they're on the road and people are Watching just like these little circles on the ice move and pass the puck. Yeah, everything's tracked.

[Stugats]

I watched the finals.

[Evan Cohen]

Tracked by who?

[Roy]

They're tracked by the cameras.

[Evan Cohen]

So the cameras see a player get on the ice and a camera, the.

[Stugats]

Perimeter of the ice has like a thing on and when their sensor goes past that it triggers. Okay, this person has moved.

[Evan Cohen]

You know that for sure?

[Stugats]

I'm just assuming.

[Roy]

Why are you poking holes in this? I can say fairy does it friggin works.

[Evan Cohen]

I'm back stand is all.

[Roy]

Well, you don't think it checks out? You think Seth Jones may be on the ice for 13 minutes and not 12?

[Evan Cohen]

Understand? And Chris's theory that there's a sensor around edge of the rink. I'm sorry, I'm not buying that.

[Heather Dennich]

I just think there's a sensor on them like the tracking thing that we're talking about. It's probably tracked based off movement. So when they get up off the.

[Evan Cohen]

Bench, how do you know that they're.

[Stugats]

Going to pee though timeout.

[Evan Cohen]

And they're not just getting on the ice?

[Dan Le Batard]

How do they know?

[Evan Cohen]

Don't look at me like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

This will legit. You think someone getting off the bench and going to the bathroom is the same as the heart rate of playing an NHL game?

[Roy]

We just saw no pretty convenience. We just saw a pretty convincing, convincing video of Mario Cristobal punching Ryan Day in the face. And you don't think they can figure out when you're on the ice trying.

[Stugats]

To know who they is is yards after contact, like any touch, you know, some level of like hit. Like what if I'm reaching to tackle you and just my, my, my hand just.

[Roy]

You know what sad that I heard Greg McElroy on Always College Football. He's like Ole Miss. They initiate contact on a rushing attempt 1 1/2 yards after the line of scrimmage. And Miami, they're running for five and a half yards after contact. You know what that means?

[Evan Cohen]

Seven yards carry.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, that's what I've been saying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Mass kicks ass.

[Greg Cody]

It's a, it's a bad defense Ole Miss has. That's why I refer to them as Ole Miss tackles. They missed 15 tackles in the last game and won. Anyway.

[Roy]

You mentioned tackles, Greg. I think tackling is going to be a big deal. Like where this game is being played in Glendale and that turf is a disaster. Remember the super bowl that was there. People were slipping and sliding everywhere. I'm worried about this turf, especially with a quarterback like Chambliss who can run around and squirt out of these situations. I think we're going to see a lot of missed tackles.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Are you worried about this turf and Chris Cody? I just want to see if I have this right. You're of the belief that it is possible that Ashton Genty has more than 1,000 yards after contact because everyone grazed his shirt with a finger.

[Stugats]

I'm asking the difference, but does any contact mean.

[Dan Le Batard]

But I just want to be clear. You think the.

[Stugats]

I prefer it to be tough contact.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. Yeah, but you're thinking that perhaps this status flawed because there was just somebody who sort of grazed his shirt and.

[Stugats]

All of a sudden he's getting yak and it's like, is this really yak.

[Dan Le Batard]

The sleeve of his jersey.

[Stugats]

I just want to know who's determining when a Yak has begun giving a stiff arm count.

[Evan Cohen]

If there's a scrum and a player skates fast to the scrum to defend his teammates, you're telling me the clock on his ice time stops. He's still skating.

[Dan Le Batard]

Roy. What do you mean? Does a stiff arm count? Of course it counts. There's contact, like. What do you mean?

[Stugats]

Generated the with Roy on that? No, but I'm with Roy now.

[Jeremy]

He can go create contact.

[Stugats]

What if I just want a bunch of yak?

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm just going to go out like.

[Stugats]

Oh, hit me, touch me.

[Greg Cody]

The running back gets credit for yards after contact fraudulently when it's a blatant missed tackle. He didn't do anything right. It's the defender's fault. And yet the Yak man gets credit for 38 yards after a mis tackle.

[Roy]

Hey, Jeremy. Happy holidays.

[Heather Dennich]

Happy Januka.

[Roy]

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

[Heather Dennich]

Okay.

[Roy]

We're co workers, friends.

[Heather Dennich]

You could say.

[Roy]

No, we cannot say that. But we both enjoy an ice cold Miller Lite.

[Heather Dennich]

That's true.

[Roy]

Especially around the holidays. You know, it's a 50th anniversary Miller Lite.

[Heather Dennich]

It's really amazing every time we say that. I can't believe it.

[Roy]

Well, it's crazy because, like, they've basically been partners with the Dan Lebbetard show for half of their existence. Wow. When I put it to you that way. We got an old ass show.

[Heather Dennich]

Yeah, we do. That's crazy.

[Roy]

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.

[Heather Dennich]

Yeah, I know.

[Roy]

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? The original light beer since 1975 still hidden different 50 years later. Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients like malted barley, rich balanced softy notes, and that iconic golden color that you can see from across the room.

Hello listeners. You know that I live in Miami, which means my idea of quote unquote winter is just putting on a hoodie or a cardigan and acting like I've suffered. But every time that I travel somewhere that's actually cold, I'm reminded that my wardrobe is completely and utterly unprepared. But that right there is where Quince comes in. I also realize that if I'm going to be on camera for broadcast gigs, I probably shouldn't look like I just grabbed whatever was closest to the door. Quince makes clothes that deliver premium materials, thoughtful design, and pieces that hold up season after season after season after season. And particularly with Quince. Their outerwear has been the thing that's especially impressed me. Those down jackets, wool coats, Italian leather, and folks, that cashmere sweater, ridiculously soft, looks great and somehow doesn't cost what you'd expect. Trust me, I am the only one on this show who actually dresses to impress. And Quince is what's now helping me do it. Refresh your winter wardrobe with Quince.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, this is the quickest it goes. Stugats, everybody. This is the quickest it goes. Yeah. This is the Dan Levatar show with Stugats.

[Chris Cote]

By the way, to answer Zaslow's question, the game clock would stop, so time on the ice would stop.

[Evan Cohen]

I got a lot of questions about this ice time.

[Dan Le Batard]

You do, so do we. But I have to move on to other subjects, like Snoop Dogg calling a game. I have said before that I believe that Snoop Dogg, in my lifetime is the most amazing spokesperson history that I have seen somebody going from murder trial and an assortment of things that over the first 30 years of his life might not have turned into media spokesman and sponsorship opportunities. Here's Snoop Dogg doing the color commentary game involving Steve Kerr and Steve Kerr yelling at the referees during Clippers and Warriors last night. The Clippers end up beating the warriors by one last night. Uhoh.

[Jeremy]

Steve, don't get thrown out.

[Roy]

Get.

[Jeremy]

Get him out of there. Get him out of there. Back him up. Back him up. GP Back him up. Steve, ready to fire.

[Greg Cody]

He's already gone.

[Jeremy]

Steve banging Inglewood right now. Inglewood. Get him. Steve. You in Englewood, Steve. The Arizona Wildcat that came out and look at it.

[Evan Cohen]

Just missing Lamar Thomas shouting we ready.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is a classic callback right there. For those of you who do not know, see if you can find the we ready sound. This was an amazing thing to listen to, a broadcast. See if you can find all of it.

[Chris Cote]

Chris.

[Dan Le Batard]

It might not be easy. It Was an FIU Miami brawl. And in the broadcast booth, Lamar Thomas, former Hurricane, started inciting more and more brawl and then never got another broadcasting job after this.

[Greg Cody]

Now the Metro Day Police trying to restore order.

[Jeremy]

That's what I'm talking about. You come into our house, you should get your behind kick. You don't come in the OB playing that stuff. You across. You're across the ocean over there. You across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator and get in that thing. You know, I say, why they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more. You don't come into the ob, baby. We've had a down couple years, but you don't come in here talking smack.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not now.

[Jeremy]

How you know what we be saying right now? We read it. We read it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did Lamar Thomas ever get a broadcasting job after being fired right after that? Well, I think he might have gotten some broadcasting job.

[Evan Cohen]

Play by play guy there. Do you remember?

[Dan Le Batard]

I do not.

[Evan Cohen]

Jason Slotkin.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you. That was a real flex by you. A weird flex by you. I want to get to something here because Zaslo, Zaslo, not a lot of people know this, and I'm going to betray him some here. He can be a bit of a thief when it comes to trying to steal, like, for example, the spotlight from an Evan Cohen, for example, because I will get to this with Zaslow in a second. But Evan Cohen was doing one of these bowl games. I'm going to say Bush's Boke Bowl. Okay, The Boke Bowl. It was Louisville again.

[Heather Dennich]

Toledo nailed it.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, so there was a brawl in the game on the sidelines. And I believe Evan Cohen, a rising star in this business. I believe that Evan Cohen did what passes for the closest thing that sports will ever have to war correspondent reporting. Because Evan Cohen was in the middle of true chaos. There was a fight on the sidelines and Evan Cohen, over 10 minutes I was listening to this broadcast. He did not have a hiccup as I thought he was being pepper sprayed and I thought the police were hitting him with batons. But he was totally relaxed in the middle of what appeared to be a giant brawl in Boca. Evan is right in the middle of that scrump. Evan, what do you got, Carlin?

[Roy]

This is ugly.

[Jason Slotkin]

It looked from my vantage point like almost like a Louisville player was stomping on a Toledo player because one of the Toledo players was punching another Louisville player. To a point that multiple police officers literally had to get in the middle of this. I'm counting on the field.

[Roy]

Let's see.

[Jason Slotkin]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 different police officer. 10 different police officers on the field. Guys, this was an absolute melee.

[Dan Le Batard]

I am stunned that there were no ejections. Evan, let's talk a little more about this. How has that happened?

[Jason Slotkin]

Chris and Freddy, there's. There's just no way the ref saw it because of where they were on the field. I'm literally looking at the bench. And the Louisville mascot right now has the guy's crutches on the sidelines.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's just no way.

[Jason Slotkin]

The refs saw everything that we saw.

[Dan Le Batard]

Down to Evan Cohen.

[Jason Slotkin]

With more guys I count in front of me. I am standing at the 15 yard line or so on the Louisville sideline. 14 police officers, rough count. I talked to one of them. I said, how is there only two penalties? Did you see more? Could the refs have seen it? He said there were definitely some things. Probably should have been more some things is what the police officer said. Not an official statement. I'm just saying my conversation with the.

[Monarch Advertiser]

Officer on the sidelines.

[Dan Le Batard]

I want you to imagine my confusion, okay. Just listening on the radio, hearing this report. Okay? There are police officers all over the field. Refs didn't see anything.

[Stugats]

And the mascot has one of the guys crutches.

[Roy]

And this is a Tuesday at 11:45.

[Chris Cote]

He asked the cop why there were.

[Dan Le Batard]

Only two pills and then quoted the cop as saying the refs definitely missed more stuff.

[Evan Cohen]

What could the things have been? The cop said there were some things.

[Greg Cody]

Mascot took crutches, something else.

[Roy]

What? A bush's baked bean bokeh bowl.

[Greg Cody]

You can't use the number 14 and then use the phrase rough count. If you're going to say rough, you got to make it 50, 10, or 15.

[Chris Cote]

Right round number.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, he's just allowing for the idea that he might have missed a cup or two.

[Greg Cody]

It's like saying, you know, there's 5 billion grains of sand on the beach. Rough count. You know, you just can't say that. You got to be specific.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think it's important that from that reporting, you find the way to criticize because you would have done it so much better.

[Greg Cody]

You know, I would have said 15 is a rough count.

[Dan Le Batard]

What if there were only 14?

[Greg Cody]

Well, then you say exactly 14.

[Stugats]

Ballpark, the main question we had back here is why were you listening to that?

[Chris Cote]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I love listening to you do. I love listening.

[Roy]

No, no, you had the six and a half.

[Heather Dennich]

Strangest quirk.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love listening to college football on the radio, at least in part. Now, this isn't. This wasn't in the house. This was an espn. No driving around. This was an. This was not. This was an ESPN broadcast.

[Evan Cohen]

But the reason Wednesday afternoon, the reason.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love listening to college football in the car is because invariably somebody is selling furniture. The local furniture store is sponsoring the 20 yard line. And I just. I want to be amused by the number of sponsorships that they try to keep radio alive with by selling the holy hell out of the Toledo Louisville game. And also, yeah, I had Louisville in that one and they didn't cover it.

[Evan Cohen]

It's an amazing endorsement. Dan, why do you listen to college football? I love the endorsements.

[Roy]

The local salespeople just perked up.

[Evan Cohen]

Hold up.

[Roy]

You love them over there.

[Stugats]

Down the lane.

[Dan Le Batard]

Get me Mike Ryan's call of the final play of the Duke Miami game. That had 75 laterals in it. Because I thought the funniest that was in that entire broadcast was Mike Ryan making fun of what Jose Gacky has to do with the last 40 yards of paying homage.

[Roy]

Dan.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Roy]

That's not making fun of the legendary.

[Evan Cohen]

Do you know for sure that Joe Zigaki has heard this?

[Roy]

Has he heard this? I think he's heard this. I don't know for sure, though, but I think so.

[Dan Le Batard]

So it's the.

[Roy]

It's a legendary clip.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know if. I don't know if Greg Cody has heard this. If you heard Mike Ryan's call of the end. It was a very controversial end. There were a lot of penalties that were not called. Speaking of referees not seeing, there were 14 police officers on the field during all of these laterals and nothing was seen from all the Miami cheating. Miami ends up winning against Duke. Here is the call.

[Jeremy]

27, 24 squib kick.

[Roy]

Just fall down on it or whatever.

[Jeremy]

No, they're gonna try the lateral. Pass it to the other side of the field. This never works. Caught by Kornelder. Pitches it back to Jaquan Johnson at the Miami 30. Delaying the inevitable. Looking for a block. Pitches it backwards. As many laterals now as B has pass interference penalties on that last run. Walton now pitches it back to Johnson. Guess we're gonna keep going with this. Toss it back. Here comes another pitch. Coronelder has it. Throws it back to the plumbers. 911 goal line. Dallas Crawford looking for a block, gets one. Definitely not a block in the back. He throws it across to the 30. To Kornelder. Big legal block. He's got it to the 40. Kornelder crossing El Palacio Delos who goes midfield. Corn Elder speeding now to the 40. Speeding ticket. Vichower.com helter now dashing down the Dandy Bear sideline. So what, your kid has ringworm? Dandy Bear Elder inside the Guswit shadow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Red zone.

[Jeremy]

Cornelder. He's at the 10. He's at the 5. Lindy, Eric, Scotty, Mike. Miami Sickwarium. Touchdown.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

There are presently no flags on the field and certainly no one will have a problem with how this game ended. Oh, wait, we don't speak English, so everyone hates us.

[Evan Cohen]

Mike Greenberg the next day called for the ACC to reverse a decision.

[Roy]

I made Jemele Hill apologize on our show. She demanded that we forfeit.

[Heather Dennich]

Mike, I imagine you listening to that is what it felt like for the Beatles when they finished Abbey Road and they were listening back in the studio and they were like, yeah, we did it.

[Roy]

Yeah. Only that was live. It's pretty amazing.

[Evan Cohen]

It's a masterpiece.

[Roy]

So it's more impressive.

[Greg Cody]

Masterpiece.

[Roy]

That and M. Piper Jr. Breaking down divas live. That was also very.

[Heather Dennich]

So more impressive than Abby Road. Just so we can.

[Roy]

Yes. Because it was live.

[Heather Dennich]

Got it.

[Evan Cohen]

They definitely rehearsed Abby Road before they put it out.

[Monarch Advertiser]

[Dan Le Batard]

Specialoffer Don LeBatard is there back In My Day.

[Greg Cody]

There is actually.

[Roy]

Were you not gonna tell anyone? Wait a minute you guys. Guys, it's a Tuesday day.

[Dan Le Batard]

St. Here's your guy, Greg Cody with Back in My Day.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, here it is. Sorry, adultery.

[Roy]

For this one.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the D? Ler show with the St. Speaking of masterpieces, the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody has an excellent conceit in the most recent episode which is the top 50 catchphrases ranked of all time that Greg Cody has and I did not realize there were 50. I was told that they've winnowed it down from more than 100 and I simply cannot believe that there would be this many. I could come up with a top 10 list of the catchphrases I have heard him say since we dined in the Herald eating area about 40 years ago. But I cannot come up with 50. Absolutely not. Can you give us some hints as to what example like number 50 is?

[Stugats]

We're doing two at a time. So this week we started the list. We unveiled number 50 and 49 of the top 50 Greg Cody catchphrases of all time.

[Evan Cohen]

What is the what is the occasion to do this?

[Greg Cody]

There's really not an occasion.

[Stugats]

Narcissism has it sells for us.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Stugats]

Whenever we do shit like this.

[Dan Le Batard]

Self involvement. It's just him being able to celebrate him.

[Greg Cody]

Well, people over the years have told me I have a lot of catchphrases. Many have been popularized on this show, some on My own podcast. Some in just everyday Life. For example, 50 and 49 are totally different. One is something I've said my entire life, which I'll tell you what it is. It's. I'm fuller than Vern Fuller.

[Heather Dennich]

Wow.

[Stugats]

Giving away the good.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

But I won't say what number 49 is. But number 49 was something Yeti had never even heard of, but was very special.

[Roy]

That's number 50.

[Stugats]

Fuller than Vern Fuller. My entire life. Anytime he's full.

[Chris Cote]

Why just two? Two per episode?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Roy]

25 weeks.

[Stugats]

We're trying to build overload. Drag this thing out, Roy.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, Jesus.

[Stugats]

I mean, you know, it's tsl.

[Greg Cody]

It's only like a couple of minutes per episode. It's not like we're doing an entire podcast on. On announcing.

[Dan Le Batard]

You'll have to forgive my ignorance. Who is Vern Fuller?

[Greg Cody]

Vern Fuller was a Cleveland Indians utility infielder from the 1960s.

[Roy]

You can say that.

[Greg Cody]

With a career batting average of about.230. I have no idea.

[Heather Dennich]

Did he just nail his batting.232 career batting average. That's amazing.

[Roy]

Describe the logo he wore.

[Greg Cody]

Here's the problem with ops. Ops. There we go.

[Stugats]

We're back on this.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. Some love of God. Somebody who's on base a lot but isn't a slugger has a low ops. Somebody who's a slugger but his on base percentage isn't good. He has a low ops. So let's not act like OPS is. Is everything. But Verne Fuller was the only baseball player at the time with the last name Fuller. And so I'm fuller than. Verne Fuller was a natural. And it just happens to be something that I've said my entire life.

[Chris Cote]

A natural.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

What was number 49? You already revealed it on your podcast. The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. It's not a reveal. You can embargo the other 48 if you should.

[Greg Cody]

I do it, Christopher.

[Dan Le Batard]

You've already. It's already out.

[Stugats]

Yeah, but then we want people from this audience that haven't listened.

[Roy]

But isn't there 24 episodes are gonna be four.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. In fact, I address my team after the championship. We also have that. And announce the firing of.

[Stugats]

See, we're giving away all the good.

[Roy]

Honestly, I'm listening to it now. Right now. I'm leaving.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is number 49?

[Heather Dennich]

Just give it that.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. Number 49 is where's my Click Click.

[Chris Cote]

Loaded.

[Stugats]

And that's when I was a child when he's in the car with someone and he Wants them to buckle up. It's where's my click click. And then once the person buckles up, he goes, there's my click click.

[Chris Cote]

Like the suntan commercial.

[Greg Cody]

The what?

[Chris Cote]

Yeah, like she has short shorts.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, okay. I guess it is in that realm, but click click. I've been saying since Christopher and Michael were.

[Stugats]

And he even started saying it to my daughter. My daughter knows. Where's my click click.

[Chris Cote]

Yeah.

[Roy]

Greg, you're having an all timer. All I need is a back in my day and we're hanging the.

[Chris Cote]

Do you have one?

[Stugats]

Don't get crazy.

[Chris Cote]

You have one.

[Greg Cody]

Is it Tuesday?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Stugats]

Yeah, that hasn't worked in months.

[Chris Cote]

Of course I do.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

You have one.

[Roy]

It's Tuesday.

[Dan Le Batard]

You have one.

[Roy]

This is gaslighting.

[Heather Dennich]

Is it ready?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right. What?

[Jeremy]

You have one?

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Roy]

No, like, for real.

[Stugats]

Find the imaging.

[Monarch Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Why wouldn't I dust that off.

[Dan Le Batard]

Get the cobwebs off of it. Whatever.

[Roy]

Wait, is this a joke?

[Greg Cody]

No, I have one.

[Stugats]

Oh, he's got a piece of pieces messing with us.

[Greg Cody]

Guys.

[Stugats]

This has to be a big.

[Roy]

This is your first one in a year.

[Greg Cody]

Myriad more than a year.

[Dan Le Batard]

Holy.

[Greg Cody]

But I do have to leave right after this. Back in my day.

[Evan Cohen]

It's definitely more than a year. I could tell you I've never been in studio with him doing it back in my day.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Neither have I been here.

[Greg Cody]

How about that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Where's my click click. It's something that is only uttered in his car.

[Greg Cody]

Where's my click click. How does it get to be a.

[Stugats]

Reminds me to buckle up.

[Evan Cohen]

Oh, I gotta buckle up.

[Greg Cody]

That's right.

[Roy]

Where's my imaging?

[Dan Le Batard]

And now it is time to take a trip down memory lane. Here's your guide, Greg Cody, with Back in my day.

[Greg Cody]

Cliffs Notes. Things were so innocent when I was in school growing up that Cliffs Notes felt like cheating. We didn't know our benefactor or would have personally thanked founder Clifton Hillegas, who took out a $4,000 loan in a Lincoln, Nebraska, basement in 1958, invented and produced Cliff's Notes. The brand launched with 16 summaries of Shakespearean plays. Perfect. No high school teen on earth wanted to slog through the turgid prose of Romeo and Juliet. But we all had to feign interest for the great kids a generation earlier had to actually read Shakespeare or hit the set of encyclopedias to find old Bill right there between Shakers the religion and Shale the rock. Us, we bought Cliffs Notes, breezed through the summary, and from that vomited a quick report.

[Roy]

Boom.

[Greg Cody]

B. Cliffs Notes. Was the academic equivalent of Rosie Ruiz running a marathon. Only these shortcuts and cut corners were perfectly legal, accepted. Even the iconic yellow and black guidebooks became such a part of society that they inspired Wiz Khalifa to write his song Black and Yellow. Okay, totally made that up. Now back to the truth. CliffsNotes was the start of us having it easy. Too easy. Time was, you wanted direction somewhere, you had to consult an atlas, ask someone who'd been there, or get a triptych from AAA. You needed a paper on World War II, you hit the encyclopedia or ask Grandpappy. No Alexa or Siri or whatever she's called now. No Google to ask, and certainly no artificial intelligence to do everything for you but wipe your ass. Cliff's Notes was a delightful shortcut. Something different. Now everything's a shortcut. The very need for formal education is getting closer and closer to becoming extinct. There is no real need to know that PI equals 3.0 or that Australia is wider than the moon. But if there were, your laptop can tell you faster than your teacher. Now, so can Cliff's notes, which, sadly, has adapted to the times and become more of an online entity that wants to do even more of your work for you. Ban everything that gives you free information fast. Make learning laborious again. Bring back dictionaries, atlases, roadmaps, sets of encyclopedias, and a reliance on the fading memories of elders. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was in my day.

[Chris Cote]

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

[Roy]

Let's go see Jeremy. That's like listening to Abbey Road. It is my right there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Worth the wait.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the do it again at Lebatard show next week. Did you know that Australia was wider than the moon? This was something that I was thinking about. I've heard over the years, many people make the argument on behalf of, you shouldn't go to college. All of that information is available to you. You don't have to pay to go to college and have it taught to you. Now, I would make the argument there are all sorts of social reasons to go to college as well. But what I had not accounted for recently, that's happened with AI, is that it is a plague in our college system that college students aren't actually doing the work, they're just farming it out. So you're paying for college, but you're farming out all the work to computers and you're rendering college kind of useless. If you can trick your professors because you're having the computers do everything for you, it's just not Something that I had accounted for. Have you guys given any consideration to the idea that college would be less worth the cost now than it ever has been? Because so many students can just cheat their way through without having to do the work, Especially if professors aren't paying close attention.

[Evan Cohen]

Yeah, of course. But still, it's about getting that college degree so that your potential employer, like, you can't convince your employer, I didn't need to go to college. I learned all the stuff that I need for this gig. I did it on my own at home. Like, you still have to show the employer that you went.

[Dan Le Batard]

The modern employer, the. The new age modern employer that understands that the entire world has changed and that there are other ways to learn than the traditional ways of learning. Especially since you can now cheat your way through the traditional ways of learning. Like, it's worth less than it used to, I would think, if you could cheat your way through it.

[Greg Cody]

I think jobs that require a college degree are far and fewer between than they used to be. I just don't get the sense that that's a requirement of as many jobs as it once was.

[Roy]

You got companies hiring people. I mean, come on. They're done doing that, pal.

[Heather Dennich]

They don't care. You need to have that college degree to even qualify to get the job.

[Evan Cohen]

That's what I'm saying.

[Greg Cody]

And.

[Heather Dennich]

And that. That's all that the value really has been forever. Like, what you were talking about. Oh, it's awful. Like, it's terrible. And that's why, like, when I was in college, I would tell everyone, like, no, everything that I learned of value came from internships, because it's practically applying everything. And that's why there are so many jobs where going to a trade school would be better than going to college and earning a degree. But a lot of the time, that's your only choice, if you want to set yourself up for success, is I need to physically have a degree, whether you cheated your way through it or not.

[Dan Le Batard]

There are many things that I think people listening to this would be surprised that even some of the most successful people in sports haven't actually learned, because I believe that Lane Kiffin does not know how to grocery shop. I don't know whether this is his family playing a trick on him, but I do believe that some of these coaches are so lopsided and have to be so lopsided being good at the particular thing that they're good at, that they have a team of people handling a bunch of stuff for them that they don't know how to handle. So let's look at Lane Kiffin here. He is a very popular, successful, well paid LSU coach who has really shaken the entirety of the system because the team he built in Mississippi with the quarterback he built it with, is two games from a championship. And it's the best Mississippi team we've ever seen. And if he wants his assistance back, they might not have the proper coaching for the biggest game in program history, which is being played in two days. But is it surprising to learn and do you believe that this video and audio from Lane Kiffin's home is true? That Lane Kiffin does not know how to grocery shop?

[Jeremy]

Oh, you can't win.

[Monarch Advertiser]

Treat.

[Greg Cody]

I don't get it.

[Jeremy]

Why did you bring that back?

[Dan Le Batard]

How are you supposed to carry it? You have to pay for bags. Bags. They said you have to pay for a bag. No self checkout.

[Jason Slotkin]

So then I just don't.

[Stugats]

Standing in his living room with a shopping basket that he took from the grocery store.

[Roy]

Stole it.

[Dan Le Batard]

He. He stole. He stole.

[Monarch Advertiser]

What do you mean?

[Dan Le Batard]

Is it stealing? Of course.

[Chris Cote]

Your property.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is it stealing?

[Heather Dennich]

Sure.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Is it stealing to. Well, I don't want to call it the cart because it's the basket. Is it stealing to take home the basket from the grocery store? The way Lane Kip.

[Stugats]

I feel like if it's my publix. Yeah, I'll be back. This thing will be back.

[Greg Cody]

And you're gonna bring it back.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

You aren't. You'll use it as a laundry.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're the reason that I can never take the cart past a certain point without being electrocuted. At my Whole Foods, where they can't be electric. The cart. The cart just stops. The cart stops.

[Roy]

That's why my doubts.

[Dan Le Batard]

I am electrocuted. Every time I try to.

[Greg Cody]

Sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

Every time I try to take the cart a little bit outside of wherever it is. They've got their electrical fencing.

[Stugats]

They have shock collars.

[Dan Le Batard]

Electrocute. By the bars of my grocery cart. And the wheels. The wheels freeze up. And you're the reason. Because you think that's not stealing. Because you think you can take the basket.

[Stugats]

And the car matters if it's just his publisher.

[Heather Dennich]

Everyone.

[Stugats]

Everyone has their grocery store. And I feel like you have more liberties at your grocery store if the managers know you. Like, if he's there all the time. I'm not calling the cops on that.

[Evan Cohen]

Did it look like he's there all the time?

[Stugats]

I mean, I'm surprised he does his own shopping. I was very Impressed by all that.

Good for Lane.

[Heather Dennich]

Well, he doesn't do his own shopping, clearly.

[Stugats]

I mean, he does. Oh, because you're saying he probably did.

[Heather Dennich]

That's the first time he has probably in what, 25 years, maybe ever. He grew up with like head coach money in his family, Right? Like that. That's a rich man. He's been rich for a long time.

[Stugats]

Trying to avoid paying. What, how much they charge for bags?

[Heather Dennich]

Yeah, he was upset. They charged like 60 cents.

[Evan Cohen]

You don't think Monty used to send him to the grocery store, pick up a milk.

[Stugats]

Charging for bags, though. I'm out on that.

[Greg Cody]

You can he handheld the bottle of bleach, which I thought was pro move, a big move.

[Evan Cohen]

You don't want to mix the bleach with the food.

[Greg Cody]

He handheld it. That's a veteran shopper. Good for Lane.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can make the argument or a decent argument that Lane Kiffin is sort of the advent, way ahead of his time on the NFL team going and getting the really young head Coach, the first 30 plus just young person who looks like a boy because he knows better than everyone else he wasn't ready for the job. That since, by the way, this Raiders organization you speak of hasn't been any good since like the Raiders, you guys think that's a good job and that that organization for 20 years has been an abject failure. Like everything that's happening there has been wrong. We've been asking are they for real? For 20 years? And the answer is always no. In fact, they. I put them right next to the Dolphins in terms of like, man, you haven't been. You haven't done any. You're a regional team and you haven't done shit for. For two decades, no matter what who it is that's in charge there. But to watch him presently do what's happening in college football as a symbol for sort of the excess and the stupidity and the way that the rules have gone all awry. To me, it won't dilute Miami winning a championship, but having this kind of business around College football where 30% of the players are in the portal and a coach can do this to the biggest game in program history, where it's like you. You don't know if these kids are going to have their coaches available in a way that's attentive because Lane Kiffin had to job jump. I find it fairly amazing that we live in a time where we're watching this shit happen, where a salary for a quarterback can be $3 million. 30% of the players are in the portal and the coach at the front of it, at the hood ornament on it, is a total mercenary.

This is one of the biggest college football stories of our time. Heather Dennich, by the way, reported that Charlie Weiss Jr. And Kevin Smith will be a part of the Ole Miss staff. I can't imagine how difficult this is to balance for those coaches that are still there, for the coaches that are traveling back and forth and to the players who this is totally unfair for. This is crazy. And I wonder if Lane Kiffin regrets it, because what would the national conversation be around this Ole Miss team regrets?

[Dan Le Batard]

Which part?

[Roy]

If Ole Miss still had Lane Kiffin because he left, left for a job that he felt like he would have a better opportunity to win a title at, they're two games from a national title. And the way that that company, Northeast in Bristol operates, all the credit would be going to Lane Kiffin. All the credit would be going to Lane Kiffin. Now, he's still part of the story in his own Lane Kiffin type of way, but he is not the story. In fact, he is the adversity facing these kids and Pete Golding, and I think he regrets it.
