Transcript

[Dan LeBatard]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.

[Stugotz]

There are very few absolutes in life. One of them is you can't throw stuff on the field. I think it's more important than no streaking, because people streak. I don't like. Listen, you could get hurt. That's fine. I think there's a bunch of rules, like, don't cross against the light. Be respectful at a grocery store of people in front of you. All those rules, they can all be violated. Here's a rule that I think can't be violated. You can't throw stuff on the court during the game. And the WNBA has a real problem on its end. And I need to talk about it because I'm angry. Angry. They're throwing dildos, Greg.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, I read.

[Stugotz]

Have you seen Shocking. Do you know what a dildo? Did you know what a dildo was?

[Dan LeBatard]

I did know what a dildo was. I am always amused when the mainstream media refers to sex toys. Like. Like the word dildo itself. A silly, funny word. You can't say dildo. You got to say sex story.

[Stugotz]

Oh, is that one of the. Is that a Carlin word? Is DraftKings that were not letting us say dildo.

[Greg Cody]

Now you're good.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a play on.

[Dan LeBatard]

We're good. We just said it.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, I think it's. It's so. And I thought to be a sex toy, there had to be batteries.

[Dan LeBatard]

Don't some dildos have batteries?

[Stugotz]

Right. I. I thought the battery list. Batterly battery list dildos. Thank you very much. Say that 10 times. I thought that's what was thrown on the court. If we check it out right now, we can see. I wasn't amused, but it had nothing to do with the dildo. I'm not amused that people are throwing things to start with. Then when you get into the sexist part of it. That made me angry. But what upset me is that it can really hurt players.

[Greg Cody]

I just want in on the joke. Like, what is funny about it after it's done once? Did the person do it the one time? Was there something behind it, or was it just like, hey, here's a dildo I brought inside. And then the person is just copycatting because they thought it was weird. Like, if there's some. Some sort of backstory to this, at least it's interesting. Right now it's just a lame attempt at humor.

[Stugotz]

So you. You differentiate the Panthers rat from the WNBA dildo because one is when play is not happening or one is a sexually charged issue.

[Greg Cody]

Well, Hockey's different in general. You throw hats on the ice when they get a hat trick, et cetera. So in celebration, I have no problem with throwing something out on the floor if it's a tradition. If you're throwing something out on the floor during a game and it's dangerous and could disrupt everything. Yeah. Of course. You don't do that.

[Stugotz]

Traditions start the first time. They're not traditions.

[Greg Cody]

I'm pretty sure there's not going to be a rain, a shower of dildos at WNBA playoff games in the future. I'm pretty sure this is just something they're going to sort of stomp out real quick.

[Stugotz]

I was concerned at the missile, like, status, and the WNBA players, I think, are getting it wrong and that they're focused on the fact that it was a dildo. And I want them to focus on the fact that you can actually get hurt.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sure.

[Stugotz]

And they've got to make money.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

At unrivaled.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right. I mean, those things are hard, rubber. Right. And so if it hits you in the eye, theoretically, it's.

[Stugotz]

Someone could lose an eye.

[Dan LeBatard]

They could lose an eye. There you go.

[Stugotz]

People are not as. As angered as I am by this because they're amused by it. And I find it to be sexist, dangerous. And the precedent setting that I think there will be copy. Copy copycats. Izzy. I think you're going to see more of them. Even though they made an arrest. I love making arrests at ballgames, by the way.

[Greg Cody]

I'm curious.

[Stugotz]

What's the.

[Greg Cody]

We'll get to that in a second. What's the insult to you? Why is it sexist?

[Stugotz]

I don't think they throw a dildo at a male NBA game.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

They do it at Bills games. Yeah, Bills.

[Stugotz]

Buffalo Bills games.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yes.

[Stugotz]

Thank you for. I did not know that they throw dildos on the field a couple times.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Usually when they play, unfortunately.

[Stugotz]

And what's it. What's the provenance there?

[Mike Ryan]

We don't know.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I don't know. Why do they jump through tables? Who knows? Yeah, they're different.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Buffalonians.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah, they're different.

[Mike Ryan]

The Mafia. They call themselves the Mafia.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Bill's Mafia. They'll jump through a flaming table and do the ketchup and mustard thing.

[Stugotz]

When we're prepping the show, folks, and I'm new here, and we have a whole segment on dildos and the wnba and it's something that's not new or it's totally ordinary and expected.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

It's not ordinary. No, I just cited one example and.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

And it's pretty Much regarded as the craziest fan base there is in sports.

[Greg Cody]

Does that change your mind then? Is it not as insulting or sexist because they've done it in a men's sport first.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

It's also harder to get the dildo onto the playing surface. You have to have a. You have to have a choo chon.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Let's be honest. It's also not just a women's sex toy.

[Stugotz]

They're throwing dildos. Greg. Okay. Love you, Izzy. I really do. I totally get that and I apologize.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, you don't have to apologize. I'm just clarifying for you. I don't think you insulted anybody.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah, no, I. I was a blind spot.

[Stugotz]

It's a blind spot. That's a blind spot. And I'm sorry.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Why is it always neon green?

[Stugotz]

It's not always neon green.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

It needs to be noticed.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right.

[Stugotz]

Rabbits can be pink or whatever. It doesn't matter.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

No, but we've seen it at two different venues, same color. Yeah, and it's not an easy to track down color. Action green. You don't typically see those slime green.

[Stugotz]

It looked more like Marlins Park Walgreens.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

You would assume something fleshy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, you would.

[Stugotz]

I don't. I don't believe that's the best selling color, actually. Harder to find within the sheets.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hmm.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I think that's a point.

[Stugotz]

No, I think you want to find something quick. As quick as you can.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Glows in the dark.

[Stugotz]

Glows in the dark.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I imagine it's easier to slip into the fantasy if it's flesh colored.

[Stugotz]

I need to step back to the fact that it's happening elsewhere because I. My mind is a little blown. I didn't realize this is a thing now. So Buffalo started in the wnba, copied it. Why are they making such a big deal of it then?

[Greg Cody]

That was my question to you. Well, first of all is, what's the joke there? If the concern is just that there's going to be a bunch of copycats and then you get a game where you have multiple dildos flying all over the place, then we're doing a full like absolute, practically a strip search when you walk into the arena. So I'm pretty sure they will calm down on this, but it just felt like a copycat. Somebody. I thought it was funny. Going to do it again. It's really not that funny.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

The concern is the playing surface is so much closer to the sands that someone can get donked by one of these dongs. And it could actually, when you're on a football field, you're wearing a helmet.

[Stugotz]

Not on the sideline, you're not. And I assume that's where they would land from the stand. No, no, no.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

In Buffalo, they've made it to the end service. That's why you want to get a.

[Stugotz]

Big, girthy dildo, because you think that'll travel further.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

More momentum. Yes. You don't want something that can get caught up in the wind.

[Stugotz]

Right.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

How would you toss it? Would you go overhand? Would you Frisbee it? I don't even know the. You can't do proper end over end over here. But end over end will also slow it down.

[Stugotz]

I think you have to hold it by the shaft and throw it that way.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, yeah.

[Greg Cody]

I think you got to hold the tip and just get most of the weight in the backside and just flip it underhand, like.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, you're saying under.

[Stugotz]

Biceps for that. And triceps. And Izzy's got that for monkey bars. The regular football way that Mike Ryan's doing. For those of you not watching on the Lebatar YouTube channel, he was just doing it as a full Tom Brady quarterback motion. But where would you be holding it? That's. You can't grab the.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I think right by the balls.

[Greg Cody]

You got to have some pressure on the back. Right. So that way you can thrust it forward.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah. Maybe one finger in between the ball. Some people like that.

[Stugotz]

I think that Izzy has it right in almost every regard.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, it's kind of my specialty.

[Stugotz]

So. I think that we are not in position to question how to properly throw a dildo.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Needs to be arrowed. Well, that can be another one of our presidential challenges. Let's write that one down. And dildo flinging.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can you throw a dildo 50 yards?

[Stugotz]

There's no way it's going to be.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

The next Greg Olympics.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think it's possible.

[Stugotz]

It would have to be a. It's not even a shot put. You'd have to be way stronger than we are. I am okay with failing the Presidential Physical Fitness Contest. My recollection for the president will. Arnold Schwarzenegger, if you remember, he was a part of that. That may have been in my younger days.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

100%. Like, he was the face of it in my childhood.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right. Steroids user.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, he was a steroids.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

He still is, I assume.

[Dan LeBatard]

I assume so as well.

[Stugotz]

You can't keep a body like that. I found out a friend of mine's doing steroids, and I had no idea. I was always jealous of his body. No. But not anymore. But, yes, I Found out just a normal non athlete guy.

[David Samson]

For what purpose?

[Stugotz]

He has a great body and I just assumed he had a great body. And then I found out he's doing steroids.

[Greg Cody]

Mike, this is your wheelhouse. You see Sean McVay shirtless.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I don't have to imagine him shirtless. Have you seen how tight those coaches shirts are?

[Greg Cody]

He's got. He's got an HGH build.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Kind of like that stomach that comes out a little bit.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I know what you're talking about. Little barrel chest.

[Greg Cody]

Now there's no way he has that, that much time to work out.

[Stugotz]

I like the ones who say they worked out during the off season and it turns out, like, I had a thing about Luka. I'm sorry, but how does Luka have that transformation? They just finished playing 4-30- it's been three months.

[Greg Cody]

Easiest weight to lose, water weight. That dude had so much beer in his. All he had to do was run, sweat that out, he'd lose it.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Like that can happen in three months. So I lost £30 in two months unaided? Yeah. This, this go around. Yeah, yeah, I did the, The Ozempic like 2 years ago, but I actually like just followed what it did for me this time and then added exercise.

[Stugotz]

Lost a pound every two days. £30 in two months.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I mean, the tape don't lie. Thanksgiving, Super Bowl, I was pretty much there.

[Dan LeBatard]

Boom.

[Stugotz]

That's with. That's. That's hard to do. Congrats. Did you keep it off? Because you look like you did. So far, so good. You look great. The mustache is a choice.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. When he shaves the beard, you can tell he's feeling good about his face.

[Stugotz]

Right? Was that. Cause I'm here. What was the purpose of the mustache?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

No, I'm gonna get a haircut later in the week and I know how to time it out.

[Stugotz]

So you have enough scruff when the haircut comes. Yeah, they're throwing dildos, Greg. Do you keep track of that?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I know it's all up here in the dome.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's unspoken.

[Stugotz]

Know my body, it's nice. But I'll still go back to the fact that what Luka did during an off season, it's not a real off season.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

What do you mean? He's got trainers, he's got a nutrition program.

[Mike Ryan]

The highest level of everything he can.

[Stugotz]

Ask for, he has in two months. You think? And you think there's nothing weird about that cover of that health magazine?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

No.

[Stugotz]

You don't think he had some sort of weird oil on his body? To make him shine.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah, no, it got touched up.

[Stugotz]

And a little touch up on the. On the defined muscles on that picture.

[Greg Cody]

Well, this was a magazine to promote. Well, promoting themselves. But a magazine article on Luka Doncic? It's not like a medical exam to see if this guy's actually shredded or not. Like, if you want to know what he really looks like, then go take the physical with him. With the Lakers.

[Stugotz]

Well, you could, because he signed his extension and he wants everyone to know, hey, I took less money. Like Bridges. I don't want to talk about the Knicks yet, but we're going to get to him. $6 million. Bridges took under the max. And he's like God's gift to Nick fans. Six million. Izzy, give me a small break. 150 versus 156 made him forget all.

[Greg Cody]

About those five first round draft picks.

[Stugotz]

How is that even. Is that possible? That Nick fans are that stupid?

[Greg Cody]

Absolutely. I saw. I saw a graphic the other day with the same exact starting five from last year. And like, let's run it back. And people are losing their minds. Ah, this is it. Championship season. No, it's not.

[Stugotz]

It can't be. You can't run back a loser.

[Greg Cody]

Then you're a loser with a worst coach.

[Stugotz]

Definitely a worse coach. Tibbs got totally railroaded. But I. I don't want Bridges to get flowers for giving up $6 million. Luca didn't give up anything. So just when he's talking about Lakers and winning. So. So we know the mechanics of his extension. He signed a three year deal now, so he can then sign a huge extension that'll be about 80 million a year for 2028. He had to do it. Excuse me? In this order.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right.

[Stugotz]

He's no hero.

[Dan LeBatard]

I get that. But bridges taking 6 million less is not nothing.

[Stugotz]

It.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's not nothing. You know, this is right? Everybody wants more, more, more. And the idea that he's taking less deserves some credit.

[Greg Cody]

I will say this. The collective bargaining agreement's done a pretty decent job. I know this is a bad example because Luca got traded to the Lakers, but when people sign their stuff or resign, they kind of stay with the same team because of the money that they can get. Because I know like Miami Heat probably had eyes on the 2026 free agency, right? And set up and maybe they can make a run at Luca. But now, no chance.

[Stugotz]

No, he's now there. He's basically bought a house, I assume, and committed himself. I just don't view. And Izzy, you'll know better than I did. You View. Forget the fact that it's the same starting five. Did you view what Bridges did as magnanimous?

[Greg Cody]

No, not at all. I mean, it's just the timing of it is what it is. You're going to take as much as you can get. The idea of him sort of saying or advertising the fact that he took less, I mean, that's probably just him trying to get in with the fans a little bit better, who probably were, you know, killing him a little bit throughout the season.

[Mike Ryan]

Also, when your best player takes less on his deal, right? Like, doesn't that kind of trickle down and be like, I can't, I can't be the guy to take the max when they traded first five of five first round picks for me. And then I kind of disappeared sometimes in the playoffs. And the best player we have took less money on his deal too.

[Stugotz]

It was 6 million. This is not a hometown discount, but.

[Dan LeBatard]

You'Re acting like 6 million. In the parlance of professional sports. It's not a lot, but to the average fan, they would be impressed BY Somebody taking 6 million less than they.

[Stugotz]

Could over the life of a contract.

[Dan LeBatard]

Over, over how many years it was.

[Mike Ryan]

It's not a mortgage. It's not 30 years. You're talking about five years or four years that he's signing a deal like 6 million over four years plus losing taxes. Like what, like, what is that money to him?

[Greg Cody]

Going back to Luca for a second. Is this the most. Like, I don't even know what the numbers. I haven't checked the draft king odds, DraftKings odds. But the most solid preseason pick for an MVP ever because not only did he obviously lose the weight, he's probably going to be a little bit more spry, maybe even raise his numbers a little bit. But it's the Lakers. All eyes are going to be on that team. There's going to be so many people just want to. And if he, if he gives you like 3 32, 7 and 7, I mean, that man's clearly going to win.

[Stugotz]

His first passing SGA.

[Greg Cody]

And Jokic, I don't think SGA wins another MVP. I think Yic is always.

[Stugotz]

I have Luka maybe third in the odds and I haven't checked.

[Dan LeBatard]

He's.

[Mike Ryan]

He's third in the odds right now. Jokic is plus 200. Shea is plus 250 in Lucas, plus 650 on DraftKings.

[Stugotz]

So. Wow, that's all together close.

[Greg Cody]

That's. That's. I'm surprised by that given the fact that he's got the motivation. He's clearly lost some weight and I like the roster. I don't love the roster. Not a championship roster. But that's the main reason why his numbers might could skyrocket is because he's got to do more work. And if LeBron misses some time, yada yada, I, I, you know what? I'm going to go ahead and put a bet on that.

[Mike Ryan]

You know who I'm going to put a bet on? You know who's seventh in MVP odds right now? Kate Cunningham. Plus 3,000.

[Greg Cody]

You really love Cade, don't you?

[Mike Ryan]

Just for you.

[Stugotz]

That's actually, that's some value.

[Mike Ryan]

Of course that's some value for a guy who said that he's good. Not the best player on a team that can win a championship.

[Greg Cody]

What I said was I don't think as a number one, he'll win a championship.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

We'll see.

[Dan LeBatard]

I like him. Okay.

[Greg Cody]

He also said he wants to be an MVP one day. So I mean, you know, he's seventh in the odds.

[Mike Ryan]

Is he like.

[Stugotz]

I have a way to see on nothing personal that Luka will win a ring before Trae Young and it was back when Dallas it was Dallas versus Atlanta. And my question is does that now become because I I'm accountable for weight to seize and I'll revisit them. Do I now get the Lakers? So now if the Lakers win, that counts as Luca winning the title. What a great trade. But Trey Young could get traded and not become the primary guy in a championship team and then I'd lose that.

[Mike Ryan]

Hawks are nice. They could make a make a Hawks.

[Stugotz]

I assume they're not even the top eight to win a title. Top 12.

[Dan LeBatard]

What is the parameter Time parameter on a Wait to see.

[Stugotz]

It's in. It's in the way to see. So for this one that Luca will win a title before Trey Young. It's forever.

[Greg Cody]

And what's the penalty?

[Stugotz]

I just I revisit it instead of like many shows where they don't ever have accountability for predictions they make or picks they make and they never revisit them. I like revisiting my picks and takes.

[Greg Cody]

And then insulting yourself, just getting mad at yourself.

[Stugotz]

Just acknowledging being wrong.

[Dan LeBatard]

What's your one loss record?

[Stugotz]

I on on my picks this year? I'm one. Oh, I have to check my rundown like 102 and 96. 103 and 96 right now.

[Dan LeBatard]

Above 500.

[Stugotz]

Above 500. On the way to seas. I'd have to go back over five years.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

I still have some pending ones from when the show first started.

[Dan LeBatard]

Do you ever intentionally do one that's ridiculously easy just to pad your record?

[Stugotz]

Yes. 100% scandal, like Shohei Ohtani, is going to pitch four innings. When it was announced that he pitched four innings and then he got taken out after three and a third and.

[Dan LeBatard]

I got a run. Oh, who.

[Stugotz]

Where are the Hawks, Tony?

[Mike Ryan]

They are 14th right now. So middle of the pack plus 4,500 to win the the NBA championship.

[Stugotz]

There's no. When's the last time the middle of the pack championship happened? Does it happen often in basketball?

[Dan LeBatard]

No.

[Stugotz]

When the Heat were the number eight seed and got to the finals, Were they middle of the pack when the season started?

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know. Probably.

[Mike Ryan]

Probably around there.

[Stugotz]

I got. I got to bring something else up that is in my head sitting next to you. Greg. They're throwing dildos. Greg, it's not about dildos. I'm good with that. I think we've established that it's not right.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sure.

[Stugotz]

It's sexist. And that I'm not the right person to talk about it. That Izzy is.

[Dan LeBatard]

We're anti throwing dildos.

[Stugotz]

My bad.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right?

[Stugotz]

I'm anti all of it.

[Chris Cody]

So Bob Odenkirk is one of my actually all time favorite actors. He could be comedic, he could be dramatic obviously Better Call Saul, one of the great shows literally of all time. And a couple years back he showed up out of nowhere as an action star in the movie Nobody and I honestly really loved it. I couldn't believe what I was watching and had an absolute blast. Was blown away by his physicality. Movie was a ton of fun. And now he's back in the sequel Nobody 2, hitting theaters on August 15th. So Bob returns as Hutch, and this time he tries to go on a vacation with his family and only for all hell to break loose. It's really a delight to see a guy like Odenkirk kicking some serious ass. Nobody 2 is produced by 87 north, the same team behind hits like John Wick, Bullet Train and the Fall Guy. The film also stars Connie Nielsen, RZA and the legendary Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone. Nobody 2 is a perfect summer movie. You don't want to miss this one. Nobody 2 is only in theaters August 15th.

[Dan LeBatard]

Don LeBatard Quiet man yes. You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife. Despite that gratuitous line in back in my stugats. I wish you were here. My wife. I really miss her. No, I don't. That's the thing about being married, you know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her. I'm on the phone with her. 30 seconds. You know, what am I. Hello? All right. All right, we'll see you. All right. And then, you know, I'm gonna see her in two days. I' jumping Charlie. Good. This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Stugotz]

I want to talk about your show for a minute because I want to make sure you get the possible promotion.

[Dan LeBatard]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

Even though it's not a metal arc show. But I would like to say that metal arc supports in a way that I'm gobsmacked, given that there's no nothing in it for metal arc at all.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right. That's true. Is they're keeping me happy, which they.

[Stugotz]

Barely do, let's be honest.

[Dan LeBatard]

I mean, listen, so that's fair.

[Stugotz]

I was told in the little period I had that there was something you had on your show.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, well, I.

[Stugotz]

Talk to me.

[Dan LeBatard]

I always do. We had a top 20 herbs countdown, and we reveal the number one herb on the current episode. Rosemary. No.

[Stugotz]

Oh, I thought it's kind of. Kind of weed.

[Dan LeBatard]

It can be either the. An herb you use in. In a culinary sense, Pot, or a person named Herb. It can be Herbalbert. Yeah, it could be that. Yeah. Could be any herb they don't know.

[David Samson]

What if someone's name is Herb? Are they there because of the same spelling?

[Dan LeBatard]

We call them an herb.

[David Samson]

Oh, got it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Herb Williams.

[Dan LeBatard]

He does not. He did not make the top 20.

[Stugotz]

Oh, he's a great herb.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[David Samson]

Who was number one?

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, you have to listen to the podcast. Oh, man.

[Stugotz]

Number one. We use phone number two. Do you have any recollection? Can you look at your rundown? Because you don't remember.

[Dan LeBatard]

Number two was Herb Peterson, the man. The man who invented the egg McMuffin.

[Greg Cody]

Speaking of number twos, Greg, number three.

[Dan LeBatard]

Was the first bag of marijuana I ever bought.

[Stugotz]

We want people to listen to your show. Yeah, and you went with the Egg McMuffin guy as your second most famous herb.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right.

[Stugotz]

Because rosemary, thyme, they all made the list.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm not sure if time did rosemary and basil, did several herbs did it turned out to be 10 human herbs and 10 medicinal or culinary herbs.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Not dill though, right?

[Dan LeBatard]

Dill did not make it. No.

[Greg Cody]

Did you say dill?

[Dan LeBatard]

I do like dill. Tarragon. I just used tarragon yesterday in making a pork Wellington.

[Greg Cody]

Cody, can I ask you another question about the previous week's episode of the Great Cody Show?

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Always with Greg Cody.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

I'm just going to quote you a couple of times from your show.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

You said, quote, speaking to Chris Cody, your mother's shitting borders on uncontrollable.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Oh, no.

[Greg Cody]

And you had a follow up quote that you were trying, trying to sort of gather yourself and you said no, I'm kidding. She doesn't abnormally defecate.

[Dan LeBatard]

See.

[Greg Cody]

How's your marriage?

[Dan LeBatard]

It's pretty good. It's pretty good. She does listen to the podcast, but she assumes stuff like that are going to be said. I did walk it back.

[Greg Cody]

She does assume things like that. Like she assumes that when she turns on the Greg Cody show that her rectal integrity will get questioned.

[Dan LeBatard]

People assume I'm going to be having a little fun with reality. And I used an example of her having an episode while we're trying to return a rental car in Vancouver. And so we tell that anecdote where she had. I'm like, where, where is she? Where's my wife? I had to text her, where are you? Because I'm at the rental car counter and she does all the business in the family. So I like, I don't know what to do with a rental car.

[Stugotz]

You just dropped the keys.

[Dan LeBatard]

I know, but did we. Pretty easy prepay. What do we do?

[Stugotz]

We all can't get the car without pain.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay. I don't know any of that stuff. So it turns out she had to make an emergency run to the restroom. There's no shame in that. You know, we all do it.

[Greg Cody]

You also came up with a superhero man.

[Dan LeBatard]

No, no, no. Christopher wanted to refer to me as man and I softened it to Crap Man.

[David Samson]

Why?

[Dan LeBatard]

Because I thought Crap man was a better name for a superhero.

[Greg Cody]

What were his powers?

[Dan LeBatard]

His power was if I put my hand on someone's shoulder, I can, I can heal his or her constipation. I can make them shit spontaneously.

[David Samson]

So you just control their bowels one way or another.

[Stugotz]

That's your superpower. That out of all the things.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yes.

[Stugotz]

You could be invisible. You could know what people are thinking.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right.

[Stugotz]

You could be attractive to women, men, whatever. Your superpowers you want to deal with their ibs.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Mike could have used him a while back, right? I mean, just put your hand on his shoulder and solve a lot of problems.

[Dan LeBatard]

And that started because Christy was making fun of me because I'm the world's most regular man on several different levels. And one of them is that I am never constipated. I never have problem going. I enjoy the. The ring of honor in any bathroom I'm in.

[Greg Cody]

Just to quote you accurately, you said I can always get one out.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah. Yeah. That's putting it mildly.

[Stugotz]

I don't. You're lying, obviously, which is not. I want you to go right now.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm a crap man, right?

[Stugotz]

Like, go now.

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't have to go now. When I have to go, I can go.

[Stugotz]

I thought you just said that on command. You can go.

[Dan LeBatard]

When I command that I have to go, I can go.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, we all can go. When we have to go. He's not here to take a crafty quiz.

[Dan LeBatard]

Some people.

[David Samson]

Thank you, Tony.

[Dan LeBatard]

Thank you, Tony. I'm not here to take a crap quiz.

[Stugotz]

I feel like I was trying to promote your show, and I feel like you did a terrible.

[Greg Cody]

I think we did it masterfully.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, absolutely.

[David Samson]

But that was the last episode. What happens this episode?

[Stugotz]

It's the Herb episode.

[David Samson]

Well, every episode's been an Herb episode.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah. Yeah. No, we skipped one to build up to the number one.

[David Samson]

Really?

[Dan LeBatard]

We had on Mike Golick Jr. Talking about Notre Dame, Miami football, which games coming up later this month? Pretty big game down here. Arguably the biggest top five Canes football openers of all time. Because normally you start with Bethune Cookman. You know, it's a soft opening, but. But this one. Wow. Notre Dame's going to be low. Top 10, I would think, in the rankings. Miami.

[Stugotz]

Will Miami be favored right now?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

They are not favored.

[Dan LeBatard]

Notre Dame is favored by two and a half last time I looked. Two, two and a half.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Miami does historically play some pretty big games to kick off their season. There was a run of seasons there where they started against fsu. They've opened a couple seasons against Florida. They opened against Alabama, and lsu. Opened one season with Ohio State. That was really Butch Davis kind of announcing that Miami was back. So that's fair.

[Dan LeBatard]

And this may be recency bias, but when I look at Miami opening at home against Notre Dame, I think of the echoes of what that rivalry used to be. Keep in mind, I covered the team full time from 84 to 88. The whole Catholics versus convicts. A lovely time to cover college football.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

It is rare for them to open up at home with an opponent of this level. This is usually neutral site.

[Stugotz]

Game will pro player sell out?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I think it is.

[Stugotz]

It's done.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah, I think it's sold out.

[Greg Cody]

I usually don't want to get Mike continue to keep going on the Hurricanes, but I did hear some training camp talk this morning and I'm kind of excited about it. What'd you say about Carson Beck?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

There's some zip on those balls.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wow.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

That's all I'll say because this was a closed door practice.

[Stugotz]

They're throwing dildos. Greg, this has been quite. We have made. We have made Dan proud today. There is no question it's a good thing that it's a different time zone.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

The crap talk. He's going to be very different from Cam Ward in that Cam Ward improvised and held onto the ball a lot. So the offense is going to look a little bit different, a little bit more balanced here, but very decisive with the ball and there is a zip.

[David Samson]

Wait, so he's better than the number one pick in the draft?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

No, I said it's going to be different. It's going to be very different and may not bear the same kind of results. I think Miami will have a much more balanced attack this year. I think they kind of fell in love with the weapon that they had with Cam Ward who approached the game very different. Carson Beck's going to go through very quick progressions and know exactly where he wants to go with the ball. He's going to look very different compared to Cam Ward in that respect.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, I'd love more balance, good running back room. I think Fletcher is a guy who could rush for 1500 yards.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I'm a. I'm a Jordan Lyle guy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh yeah?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah. Lyle's got the body type and unlike Fletcher, who I really like, Jordan Lyle's got the pull away speed, can turn the corner, has the rare game breaking ability at that position that Miami's kind of lacked since the days of Lamar Miller and Duke Johnson. They haven't been able. I think if you pinpoint one of their issues on offense over these last few years and we've seen some of these players go and have success at SMU is real game breakers. They don't tend to have many of those. I mean, Xavier Restrepo was an AP All American but ran a 4 8. You know guys that can bust a game open with individual skill and talent. So I'm done now.

[Stugotz]

You sure? Izzy, you did it.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Excited for the season.

[Stugotz]

It was a layup for you.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that was perfect. It was compact. It gave you all the information you need. Gave you a little bit of secret information because it was a close practice.

[David Samson]

To do wins, losses here or what.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

The over under is nine and a half for Miami. That's, that's pretty good. You could, you could argue that Miami may have a worse record than last year and end up being a better team just because of their schedule being so difficult. But only four road games, it's all there for them in the acc and I think anything but an appearance in Charlotte is a. Is a disappointment.

[Dan LeBatard]

Agreed.

[David Samson]

It's a Sunday night game, David. Sunday night, 7:30.

[Stugotz]

What date?

[David Samson]

August 31st.

[Stugotz]

So we are in the month of the hurricane starting.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah. That's why the great show had Golik on to talk about it. Who's got a new Notre Dame podcast with Jessica Smithano?

[Stugotz]

Stugats.

[Stugotz]

1, 2, 3. Brett. 1, 2, 3.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Stugotz]

It's very nice of us to keep promoting everything, Greg.

[Dan LeBatard]

Thank you, David, for bringing that up. I appreciate the support because I'm a little mom and pop podcast. I don't have Meadowlark media behind me or anything like that. I'm a three man operation and so we're happy for all the support.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

What did he say about the quarterback situation from Notre Dame? That's an unproven commodity.

[Dan LeBatard]

It is. That's. That's the big edge for Miami.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Some injuries on that offensive line too. Reuben Bain looks good and you know, on the Luca Hurricane Bane.

[Dan LeBatard]

You know what I like about Miami is that they improved. The past defense was horrible last year. It's why they didn't make the ACC title game, in my opinion. And Mario Cristobal, you can question his in game coaching. The guy can win a portal and right. I mean he. I think their secondary is the most improved part of their team.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah, but we're done now, Izzy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, we.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Are you worried about Lagway?

[Greg Cody]

I was going to ask you to tell me about my Florida Gators because my college football watching experience is usually I check in around game three of the season and then figure out what's going on.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

There's a little chatter that your boy who I like, I like DJ Lagway. I, I think if he can stay healthy, kid's got a bright future. But that's a big if. He went longer to throw a pass and Carson Beck did and he's in a walking boot now. I think they took that boot out for one video that they showed from practice. Word around the street is they're keeping him out of throwing on 11v11 drills right now. This is a guy that the injuries are starting to stack up and he's got a shoulder injury. He avoided. He avoided surgery. He's got a calf strain presently. Right now we know how in the NBA, that's usually a precursor for something. But if you're a thrower of the football, you're just putting more stress on that shoulder that you elected to not have surgery on. Very concerning for the Florida Gators.

[Greg Cody]

I have very little faith in the Florida Gators quarterbacks over time. It's just such a great football school and yet they keep like. They've just been swinging and missing on quarterbacks and now you got a good, talented one and he's hurt.

[Stugotz]

So I think you should give up then. Season's over. Hasn't even started. Don't be that guy. Can defensive tackles go back in coverage?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I mean, Lance Guidry had Mezidor in the flats against Syracuse.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, that would be funny to watch.

[Stugotz]

You mean by rule or. There are just like in the Dolphins.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

There are schemes in which a nose tackle. I don't know why you would. I mean, it's not using your personnel. I guess if you have someone that's really athletic along that front line and you have faith in their ability, they can drop back as you disguise a coverage.

[Stugotz]

But I was asking because I know the Dolphins have had so the issues in the secondary. I think everybody's hurt. Traded. And they just announced this new contract that they. Their defensive tackle just signed the extension. Is that where you have to get good news out when everything else is bad? And so you announced an extension that wasn't required. Didn't need it.

[Dan LeBatard]

He's their best defensive lineman.

[Stugotz]

But if you didn't need the extension, what isn't it just for news?

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know about the timing of it, you mean.

[Stugotz]

The timing just seemed very bizarre to me. Yeah, there's not a lot of good coming out of Dolphins camp. You had Mike McDaniel talking about Hill and there's just injuries. Yeah, it all feels bad. But of course I'm not a Dolphin guy, so I'm okay with it feeling bad. But as a Dolphin guy, I assume you hate that it feels bad.

[Dan LeBatard]

I suppose they're looking to get ahead of the deal. Like if he has another season this year like he did last year, then re signing him for three more years would be exponentially more a year ago. I guess that's the thinking. Never been a club president. Not quite sure how those machinations were.

[Stugotz]

Well, we're trying to. We're trying to duck and weave.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Bidden Bob. We're trying to have you not think that we stink and not think that we're having an issue with Hill and think that our season's going to Be great. By the way, we just made a guy our highest paid defensive player.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right. I think the Dolphins front seven is pretty good defensively. I think Anthony Weaver's a great defensive coordinator. I think there are ways for them to disguise the thinnest cornerback room in the NFL. Now, having said that, are they going to have a great season and make the playoffs? Probably not. Although if Tua stays healthy all year, I think they have a shot.

[Greg Cody]

Greg, I'm curious what this sort of conversation is around Tyreek Hill when you're around the team, like the type of expectations that are going to come from him. Because we already saw, you know, the end of last season and how he went out and a little too critical, I guess. And then most recently saying that Achan shouldn't be out there on third down and that sort of insulting your own teammate and your own coaches. Like, is that an example of Mike McDaniel not having the grasp of his room, of his locker room, or is this just Tyreek just kind of fishing on ways to get out of here?

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, I think Tyreek's done a mea culpa. I mean, Tyreek is finding ways to apologize publicly for some of the things he said last year, for bowing out of going back in a game late in the season, for implying that he wants out and then backtracking on that. And Tua at the beginning of this camp stated, put it right out there, that Tyreek has to win back the trust of this team. And I think he's trying to do that. And for me, saying that Achan is not big enough to be on the third and goal situation, you know, there's some truth to that. And I think that's Tyrique Hill trying to show leadership, trying to be a captain in. In a positive way rather than in a disruptive way. So I, I think there's been some fences mended when it comes to Tyreek.

[Mike Ryan]

Kill Greg, when we talk about the identity of this team, it's been speed, right? The last. That's what they sold, the speed. Speed everywhere. We got speed in the backfield, we got speed out wide, we got speed everywhere. Is that still the identity? Are they trying to shape, you know, shape shift with their offense as the last couple years have been kind of declining as far as yards per average and a whole bunch of stuff.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think the emphasis is on speed because they want the ball out of Tua's hands as quickly as possible. They want his time holding the football post snap to be the quickest in the entire league. Tyreek Hill. I think maybe he's lost a half a step, but he's still one of the fastest players in the league. Jalen Waddle's very fast. Both of their top running backs are very fast. And so McDaniel just wants that motion offense that's going to get rid of the ball quickly, because if nothing else, it helps keep Tua upright.

[Stugotz]

That's the whole key.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Imagine doing a whole thing around the player just to keep him healthy, Change everything with him.

[Dan LeBatard]

With him and his track record, you have to. He's played a full season once in six years, and that's not good enough.

[Stugotz]

No, you can't build a team around that.

[Dan LeBatard]

And. Well, when everybody talks about the Dolphins prospects they begin with, if TUA stays healthy. And the over under on the Dolphins is very low, I think it's seven and a half, which I think is a pretty smart over. But that still doesn't mean they're going to make the playoffs.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

That's the same over under on DJ Lagway's Florida Gators.

[Stugotz]

Different number of games, though, now.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I took the under, though. That is a very difficult schedule in the sec. And with all the uncertainty surrounding the quarterback who we like, I just can't take that over in good conscience.

[Stugotz]

But you can't compare the two if it's different games.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Just bringing it full circle, like an.

[Stugotz]

Echo under and a basketball echo.

[Dan LeBatard]

The Echo.

[David Samson]

I looked it up.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

The Echoes.

[David Samson]

It's. It's actually called the Echo.

[Dan LeBatard]

The Echoes.

[David Samson]

The Echoes, a podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's what I said.

[David Samson]

The Echo, then. No, because the Echoes podcast is an H e Butt foundation podcast.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, I wish it weren't funny.

[David Samson]

H e. But yeah. H e Butt founded the H e Butt Foundation.

[Stugotz]

They're throwing dildos.

[David Samson]

Greg is Howard Edward Butt senior, who is the founder of the H e B grocery chain.

[Greg Cody]

So that echoes what all the time.

[David Samson]

So they have a foundation. That foundation has a podcast.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wow. Rivalry.

[Stugotz]

Which is different than what, Golic and.

[David Samson]

Yeah, yeah. The H e Butt foundation has the Echoes podcast.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yes.

[David Samson]

Jessica and Gojo have the Echoes, a podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

One podcast has a. But the other one has a colon.

[Stugotz]

That's a little copyright potential. Are we sure that they do all the legal things required to.

[David Samson]

Nmp, Buddy. Not my problem.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Amen.

[Stugotz]

Wait, Nop.

[David Samson]

Nmp.

[Stugotz]

Sorry.

[David Samson]

It works. It's also bilingual. No mi problema.

[Dan LeBatard]

See that?

[David Samson]

I can cut out the S in the middle.

[Stugotz]

It's not.

[David Samson]

What?

[Stugotz]

Not. Not what?

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Echoes.

[Mike Ryan]

NMP Buddy.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Double negative.

[Stugotz]

Is NMP Spanish or English? It's English. Not my problem.

[David Samson]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

What's the Spanish word for it in Spanish? Yes.

[David Samson]

No es mi problema.

[Stugotz]

So no is not. Yeah, no esme problema.

[David Samson]

Yeah. Nailed it, Greg. Go touch me. Go touch David's shoulder. Make him poop.

[Dan LeBatard]

He doesn't like people touching his shoulder.

[Stugotz]

I don't touch me at all.

[David Samson]

He'd make you poop if he did.

[Dan LeBatard]

What if you.

[Stugotz]

I don't want to be touched by you, but my body is.

[David Samson]

Where's your bag of candy today?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Touch me.

[Dan LeBatard]

I would touch you.

[Stugotz]

It's a great song.

[Greg Cody]

Would you touch him and make him poop immediately or touch him and give him a good pooping schedule?

[Dan LeBatard]

Whatever he needed.

[Stugotz]

Is your.

[David Samson]

Is your power based on good or based on hijinks?

[Dan LeBatard]

It's. It's. It's good and evil, like. Like most superheroes. So if Superman's in a bad mood, you know, he can, you know, give a little of that to whoever needs. Give a little.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Jerk out a horse off.

[Dan LeBatard]

Give it a little of that, you.

[Greg Cody]

Know, I got a theme song for you, Greg.

[Dan LeBatard]

You want it?

[Izzy Gutierrez]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

I'm the crap man.

[David Samson]

Well, he could also be the Scatman.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[David Samson]

Because the same power.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

That's a great yes. Is it touch sensitive? If you push on my shoulder harder, I go right then, but it's like a little soft tap.

[Dan LeBatard]

I have whatever I want.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

I have the ability to get to.

[Dan LeBatard]

I can make it diarrhea. I can make it a little harder.

[David Samson]

Hell, yeah.

[Stugotz]

No ace me. Problem.

[Izzy Gutierrez]

What if I'm going. What if I'm going up a ladder? Will I hear something splatter?

[Dan LeBatard]

It depends on my wishes as crap, man.

[Stugotz]

You guys have no chance. It's okay, though. They're throwing dildos, Greg.
