[Billy]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Billy]

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.

[Greg Cody]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

[Billy]

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.

[Billy]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila.

[Billy]

Proximo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly.

[Greg Cody]

Cuervo.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stu Guts podcast.

[Stugotz]

That's right, it's time for a gasp. And it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Mike Ryan, lead us off French Open tomorrow, Roland Garros.

[Billy]

Tommy Paul takes on Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz is on clay. He's great. However, head to head 4 2. Tommy Paul does pretty well against Alcaraz. This is the preferred surface, though. However, if you watch Alcaraz, he usually drops his set to an inferior opponent. He did so yesterday against an American. So I think Tommy Paul can hang around and at least get a set. So I'm taking Tommy Paul plus two and a half against the spread.

[Stugotz]

Third Paul brother, no relationship.

[Chris Cody]

He's hard to beat by the Alcaraz on clay. I know from playing topspin. This guy's amazing.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Wednesday, June 4, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers will be hosting the Florida Panthers. The PR. Well, for that game, the prize is just a 10 series lead. But overall in the series, the prize Lord Stanley's Cup. The Edmonton Oilers, who famously lost last year Stanley cup are one and a half goal favorites. They have the Billy Hamilton of hockey. Some are saying I'm gonna take the Florida Panthers plus one and a half in Edmonton. Normally here I would say I don't know if they're gonna lose the game or win the Game. But I don't think they're gonna lose by two goals, friends. They may win by three goals.

[Roy]

What?

[Mike Ryan]

They may not, but they may. And that's why I'm gonna take the Florida Panthers statement game.

[Greg Cody]

Dano I am embarrassed to admit this, but I am impressed with Logan Paul as a wrestler. He survived the USO frog splash and John Cena's heel turn the other day and I was just. I was just impressed by him as a wrestler. I wasn't expecting to.

[Billy]

I How are you doing on confidence.

[Greg Cody]

Wrestling on Saturday night?

[Billy]

How are you doing on confidence? Because you just mentioned John Cena's heel turn in the middle of that.

[Mike Ryan]

USO frog splash is taking that it is.

[Billy]

It's tough to kick out of Logan Paul's a natural at it. He's really good at it. I'm jealous at how good he is at just picking something up that is very hard to pin down.

[Mike Ryan]

How'd you feel about R Truth getting released there? Dan?

[Billy]

Not nearly as bad as the rest of the locker room felt, huh? They've been very vocal about that. I do think, wait, is the portal open? I think. I think TKO and WWE should tread very lightly. I don't know if you guys saw what they did, but they the Rock made a whole big deal about announcing New Orleans. We're coming here for WrestleMania deals done, we'll see you. And then a couple weeks later like hey, actually no New Orleans. You get another show and New Orleans did not like this. They just chased the money and decide Wrestling fans, wrestling world, back to back years in Las Vegas. No one wants to see the same venue. They don't do that. That's unprecedented outside of like the early part of WrestleMania where they ran back to back, said Trump's Atlantic City resort. This is not something that we do. Why do you do this? Well, there's more money for TKO to grab with the infrastructure of Las Vegas and have a whole bunch of pop ups over there. TKO has been all about the money. Nikon's been amazing at generating revenue, however and I don't think they'll actually lose viewers in this. But what you're going to do is give a passionate fan base a voice that they often exercise. And I think this is very bold of WWE to continue chasing the dollars price out some of their diehard fans. You're making an alternative more desirable. I think if you keep pushing on this because that's an insane heat check to announce a WrestleMania, take it away from a market that has hosted several before and put it back In Las Vegas. That's. That's as transparent of a revenue grab as possible. I do think you run the risk of running people off.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, this is interesting though. You're really making the argument on behalf of cheapening wrestling with a soullessness that is about greed and commerce. That's what you're saying, that you cheapen the wrestling fans real passion if you price him or her out because you just grabbed dollars greedily. When has that ever stopped the NFL?

[Billy]

It hasn't. And when does it ever really stop wwe? I would note that if you follow history, they ran house shows at a loss so parts of America could have access to seeing their favorite superstars because they realize over time, that's a long investment. They did the Saudi thing. TKO has come in. They totally revolutionize and maximize their business model. However, they do things that kind of push the diehards away. Now, the diehards are the diehards for a reason. They stuck around through the 20 teens. There's nothing that you can do to shake these people off. But I do think as you go head to head in markets and try to cut off aew, they very clearly view AEW as a competitor, despite AEW not really being a competitor financially. It's a. It's apples and oranges. But they want to squash their competition. They want to make it so they can have a monopoly again. And I do think that a very vocal fan base, such as professional wrestling fans are, will take the opportunity if you give them one. And you're inventing an opportunity right now by doing this with these cash grabs. I myself am feeling it. I'm like, this kind of feels a little bit more superficial than it used to be.

[Stugotz]

You'll still be there, though.

[Greg Cody]

That always.

[Billy]

That's the thing.

[Greg Cody]

No, see, that's the thing, though. That's why all of those threats are empty. And that's why die hards are die hard. All of that is frustrated bluster to just say, you cheap in my sport, you run the risk of losing me. No, they don't. No, that's what happened.

[Mike Ryan]

How close was the frog splash kick out, just out of curiosity, was I got two, that was almost three or.

[Greg Cody]

I thought it was over. It was clearly over. It had to be over. Nobody surprised it. Nobody survives that.

[Billy]

I think if you paid attention to what they were doing with the ticket sales and how tickets just get released closer that you get to bell ring, like there's. I don't think there's the same kind of interest because they're chasing a more Affluent type of fan. And I think certain fans are gonna be priced out of going to shows. And that's how you fortify a big following. That's how you establish these connections. That's how you have little kids. High five. Jey uso. And you're like, wow, my day has been made. I'm a fan for life. I do think that they're gonna end up pushing people to an alternative because they may not be able to afford being able to go to shows.

[Greg Cody]

As I say, let's just climb over all of the problematic stuff around Logan Paul and oh, more impressive than I thought as a wrestler.

[Billy]

Art from artist Greg Cody.

[Greg Cody]

The thing that I wanted to ask you that I wasn't sure why it was being brought up earlier, is I heard you simply talking about both hitchhikers and what you were calling the age of hitchhikers. I understand that this is a featured topic on a upcoming episode of the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. Greg Cody fills us with tales of an America where people would hitchhike long before the popularity of the serial murderer.

[Roy]

Yeah, actually in the current episode of the Greg Cody show with Greg Cody that's out today, drops every Monday wherever you pod. And also check us out visually on our YouTube channel. Yeah, the gold. I was very fortunate to grow up in the gold, what I call the golden age of hitchhiking, which I would say was the early 70s to mid-70s. It was a fairly small window for me.

[Stugotz]

Also the golden era of murders.

[Roy]

Well, I'm in my teens and into my early 20s, and this was the golden age of hitchhiking. And yes, I did partake. I thumbed a couple of times. But mostly if I was in a car with another buddy of mine. This is when Greg Cody had long hair. And, you know, I was never a hippie. I was actually too young to be a full fledged hippie. But, you know, we partook a little bit. And so if we're in a car and we see a thumb on the side of the road and it looks like somebody simpatico who may be carrying something that we could torch up, you know, maybe we're gonna pick him up, you know, partook. You know, we're gonna give him.

[Greg Cody]

So you were, so you were, you were.

[Stugotz]

Follow that. What are you gonna give him?

[Roy]

Well, he gives us a couple. We give him a few miles, he gives us a couple of tokes and we call it a day. You know, we let him off around the bend, give him a wave, give him a bro, bro wave, and then we're Gone.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Ever meet any friends that way, Greg, or.

[Roy]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Mike Ryan]

Memorable stories.

[Roy]

No, these are. These are. These are short.

[Greg Cody]

These are just stories to be told as Grandpa tells you the stories of his ribald past.

[Roy]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

And he admits, for the first time publicly to.

[Roy]

No, no, we've admitted that before. Look, I'm. I'm not. I'm not a saint, believe me.

[Stugotz]

So when you. That's when you were the person picking up the hitchhiker, when you were hitchhiking, would you bring a little. Would you bring a little something to, like, you know, like, hey, I got a little something to cinch you? That's how it works, apparently. You're looking for people to smoke with.

[Roy]

Yeah, no, I'm looking for people to provide.

[Stugotz]

No, I'm saying when you're hitchhiking, you were thumbing.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Would you have something like, hey, guys, I got a little something.

[Roy]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Stugotz]

You're hitchhiking, right?

[Roy]

Yeah. You gotta. You gotta be careful.

[Mike Ryan]

What'd you do it for? Just a thrill or you need to get somewhere?

[Roy]

I needed to get somewhere.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Roy]

You know, that was back in the day and, you know, the Opal. The Opel GT station wagon was in the shop.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Roy]

I had to get someplace.

[Mike Ryan]

You know, it's not that different than Uber, right? You're getting in a stranger's car. You don't know that stranger.

[Roy]

That's a very good point by Billy, because he's right. You know, everybody thinks, oh, hitchhiking. How dangerous. Who would do that? You're calling an Uber. You got a total stranger picking you up and God knows what kind of vehicle.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Roy]

You know.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, usually no, because it'll tell you.

[Roy]

But, you know, everything's a dice roll now.

[Mike Ryan]

Exactly. Right.

[Stugotz]

It's really not. Yeah. You get an exact license.

[Mike Ryan]

No. Sometimes you look and they tell you. Now, the other cars in the shop, you're like, I hope this person' telling me the truth.

[Roy]

Right.

[Mike Ryan]

Murders and rapists really ruin hitchhiking, huh? I guess they ruin everything for the most part.

[Roy]

Yeah. They really do. They don't know how to have fun, those people.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I mean, their fun is different than what we would define as fun, which is what gets them in trouble.

[Roy]

You know, eventually, hitchhiking became against the law.

[Billy]

You know, they.

[Roy]

They outlawed it. It was all. Even back in the day, it was against the law to hitchhike on, like, a major highway. For now, you never saw a thumb on 95, but you could do it in the back roads and. And now. And Then they outlawed even that. So, you know, but it was easy to hitchhike if it was against the law because you saw a cop car coming a mile away, you know, and.

[Mike Ryan]

You said, I'm stretching out the old thumb, you know, act like you're scratching your head. Exactly. You go like this and you.

[Greg Cody]

Slow.

[Chris Cody]

Down, you say, I'm just giving you a thumbs up for a job well done.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you for your service.

[Roy]

Thank you for your protection, Officer. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Dan, you ever hitchhike?

[Greg Cody]

Put it on the poll? No. At Le Batard show, did murders and rapists ruin hitchhiking?

[Mike Ryan]

Out of doubt. Are you saying that they made it better?

[Greg Cody]

Dan, that's a take I'm putting up. I'm not saying anything. I'm just putting up a funny poll question. You and Greg Cody talking about hitchhikers. Hitchhikers. And Greg specifically talking about his tawdry past that. I want Chris the investigator to continue asking him questions because it seems like Greg was only getting into cars and then bumming weed off of people. It doesn't seem like.

[Stugotz]

No, it seems like he had this standard that if he was going to pick up a hitchhiker, they needed to have something to smoke. But when he was hitchhiking, he never felt the need to, like, supply. Like, hey, I got something we could smoke.

[Roy]

I mean, come on, you didn't carry it around, but you're.

[Stugotz]

You're saying that you were hoping someone that was hitchhiking did carry it around during your most.

[Greg Cody]

During your most dangerous days, because you really are looking back fondly at what a rascal you were, at what a scoundrel you were back when you were a hippie hitchhiker.

[Roy]

What. What I'm trying to convey is that back then it was pretty common. Okay? It was common.

[Stugotz]

So it's like, I got to go to the store. What are my options? I could drive, or I could just go out and hitchhike.

[Roy]

You did it a couple of times. You know, I'm not. I'm not overselling it. I didn't spend. Nobody spends 10 years hitchhiking, okay? Hitchhiking is sort of a sad thing. You do it when your car's beat, beat up, and broke down. Or. Or you do it just, you know, you. You pick up somebody for ulterior reasons, which in my case, had to do with, you know, a puff here, a puff there.

[Stugotz]

Did people ever have that thing from Pee Wee Herman, like, the stick and, like, thing attached to it?

[Roy]

No, you're talking about hobo. I. I did ride the rails for A time. Did you.

[Billy]

Just.

[Chris Cody]

You never know, Greg, you've lived a colorful life. You know, my dad hitchhiked from Sudan to Europe.

[Roy]

What?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. Like just ferries and boats and trucks and stuff like that. All the way through. Didn't even speak the language.

[Stugotz]

Take a ferry. Is it hitchhiking? Can we put that on the pole?

[Roy]

I mean, can you hitchhike on a boat?

[Mike Ryan]

I think it's possible.

[Billy]

Put it on the boat.

[Greg Cody]

Lebatar Show. Can you hitchhike on a boat at Lebar show? Or can you hitchhike? Not on a boat? It would be hitchhiking from boat to.

[Stugotz]

Boat, near a boat in the ocean with your thumb up, like, hey, but cruise ship.

[Roy]

Stop.

[Greg Cody]

All right, you guys, though, this is the problem. Things are moving a little too fast. I think you guys all missed Greg Cody adding another catchphrase to his repertoire. And you guys didn't even hear it.

[Chris Cody]

What was it?

[Greg Cody]

A little dab will do you.

[Billy]

Oh, real queen.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, he threw it in under his breath and nobody heard it because there were too many shots going off around here. And I don't even understand the context you were using it in because it's. I've never heard you say that before.

[Roy]

Right? Yeah, it's a popular phrase from back in the day. Brill cream. A little dabble. Do you. You know, in this case, you know, you. You know, you take a puff, you know, the joints were passed around, you have a puff.

[Greg Cody]

A little dabble already.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, how would that work? You just. Like, the person gets in, like I got any grass.

[Greg Cody]

I totally believe him. All of a sudden, like, the story's got. The story's got so few details that now I think he's just making up stories. We can't verify that he hasn't hitchhiked.

[Roy]

Detail.

[Greg Cody]

You're so nerd. But put it on the Pollard Show. Is hitchhiking kind of sad, dad?

[Stugotz]

Give us a detailed story of you picking someone up. They had weed to smoke.

[Greg Cody]

Any kind of story from 50 years ago. Wild, crazy, hitchhiking. Greg Cody.

[Roy]

All right, let me give you a bulletin here. When you pick up someone while hitchhiking, the first thing you do is you don't get. Could you give me your id, please? Show me your driver's license? Because I make. Gotta make sure you're on the up and up before I give you a lift for two and a half miles. That's not the way it worked, kid. It's just not the way it works.

[Mike Ryan]

What do you say? Which way you head in, stranger.

[Roy]

Where to? You know that kind of thing is.

[Stugotz]

It just expected that whichever way you're heading, they go?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, yeah.

[Roy]

Yeah. You're not going to turn around. You're not going to say, hey, buddy, where can I take you? Where do you want to go?

[Stugotz]

That'd be a jerk move. Yeah, I'm like, I'm actually heading the other way.

[Roy]

I'm going in a straight line. If you want to come with me for a mile and a half, go ahead.

[Billy]

I mean, why are you walking on that side of the road?

[Stugotz]

That's fair.

[Billy]

But if you're going in the other direction, you pick the other road.

[Roy]

Yeah, I've never, I never whipped a U turn on behalf of someone I just picked.

[Mike Ryan]

So how do you like. Is it awkward at the beginning when you're trying to see if they're carrying anything or you just flat out would ask them?

[Roy]

Like it's, it's, you know, it's what's good. You don't pick somebody up unless you read.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

What's a good icebreaker for a hitchhiker?

[Chris Cody]

Grass, ass or cash?

[Roy]

There you go. No.

[Greg Cody]

Can you turn off that music, please? I've had enough of that music. Greg Cody has run out of material here. He's tired of being badgered. Look at him. He looks like he's been beaten down by this interrogation.

[Chris Cody]

He looks like Jalen Brunson in game six.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. You look tired. There were holes in the story.

[Roy]

I feel like there were no holes in the story.

[Greg Cody]

Boys got Heisner. I like him.

[Roy]

I like him. Eisner.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, as a small business, we don't get to clock out ever. We're always on nights, weekends, holidays. So when it came time to hire someone, we couldn't waste time. We needed help. Real help. Not Stugot's nose.

[Billy]

A guy help.

[Dan Le Batard]

We used LinkedIn jobs. And we'll be honest, we didn't expect it to be that easy. We posted the job for free. LinkedIn basically held our hand and wrote the description for us. Next thing you know. Candidates. Qualified ones. Not resumes written in crayon. Real people who want to work.

[Billy]

Imagine that.

[Dan Le Batard]

LinkedIn gives you all the tools. Deep insights, easy filtering, one place to manage everything. We even threw the little hashtag hiring frame on our profile picture. Doubled the number of applicants. Now we're part of that 72% of small businesses that say LinkedIn helps them find high quality candidates.

[Jeremy]

Hey guys, it's Jeremy. And I'm spending the early parts of this summer trying to go on a health kick. I want to feel like I'm being the healthiest to my body inside and out and I want to do that in an easy way because I'm busy, you're busy, we're all busy. It's that time of the year where even though things are lightening up for kids getting out of school, we all still have work to do. Let's make this our best season yet with nutritious 2 minute meals from Factor. Eating well has never been this easy. You just heat up and enjoy giving you more time to do what you want. And they've got 45 weekly menu options, so you're never going to get bored, you're always going to enjoy it. And for me, these meals have really helped sustain me when I'm looking for something healthy.

[Greg Cody]

Don lebatar Surely every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing, that she married. She married Larry David.

[Roy]

I do, yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television. In my humble opinion, and to my credit, my personality.

[Greg Cody]

In my humble opinion. Followed by to my credit, My Personality.

[Roy]

Predate Curb youb Enthusiasm Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, wow.

[Roy]

I'm not gonna say Larry David patterned himself.

[Greg Cody]

All right, put it on the poll, please. Juju did Greg Cody copyright being an asshole Long before Larry David.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan lebatar show with the stug.

[Greg Cody]

Billy, you saw Gronk on a scooter this weekend.

[Mike Ryan]

I saw a video of Gronk on a scooter, but it was around this area.

[Stugotz]

This would be a good arch center.

[Greg Cody]

I think, area for Gronk to be on a scooter. I meant to ask you guys this question. Can you look this up for me? There are so many electric bikes right now in South Florida that there must be more hospitalizations than there have ever been in South Florida because so many people are getting around this way all over South Florida.

[Chris Cody]

Dan, early in the show you were incredulous that a Toyota Corolla could carry $1 million worth of gold bricks. Yeah, I'm incredulous that a scooter could carry Gronk. How is it not scraping? Why are there not sparks coming out of the bottom of this thing? Oh my God, man.

[Stugotz]

And I think he hit the car. That was like doing a video of him with the joking. Watch where you're going, asshole. Classic. Classic.

[Mike Ryan]

As you can see, going, you know, in between lanes, possibly down the wrong side of the road.

[Greg Cody]

None of this is safe.

[Chris Cody]

This is safe to the other people.

[Stugotz]

It's not safe for anybody cutting across an intersection.

[Chris Cody]

Grog's fine.

[Stugotz]

As the video ends. He is just illegally cutting across an intersection.

[Mike Ryan]

What you guys with you guys in laws today?

[Greg Cody]

Do me the favor, please, just do me the favor. Find for me whether electric bike hospitalizations are up. They must be.

[Roy]

They have to be.

[Greg Cody]

I just. Because I'm constantly hearing bikes that weren't meant to move that fast, that are heavy, moving at a high rate of speed, making a noise that makes them like vehicles that if you crash on them, you're gonna break bones.

[Chris Cody]

Dan, I don't know if you know this, so in Santa Monica, hospitalizations did go up. They ended up having to ban these things. But it wasn't what you think. It wasn't cuz people were crashing. It's because the users would get done and then they would splay them all over the sidewalk and elderly people walking would trip over them. And so there was an increase in hospitalizations due to that, not because of people.

[Greg Cody]

I don't believe that story you're telling.

[Roy]

No, I do.

[Greg Cody]

No, that is ridiculous. You're gonna have get out and get out of here. No, no. Get out of here. That score's not major.

[Stugotz]

Penalty five minutes grooming comedy.

[Chris Cody]

You happy making this up?

[Mike Ryan]

Why would he make that up on.

[Chris Cody]

The spot.

[Greg Cody]

As a cheap ploy to.

[Roy]

Get Greg Cody involved, he had to say elderly. You couldn't just say people were tripping over you. Had to use the phrase.

[Greg Cody]

Chris, give me some hospital numbers before I get to get to Billy here. Because Billy did something that seemed really kind and. And began our work day today with applause. Was got a hero's welcome today for coming in and bringing gifts with him.

[Stugotz]

E bikes compared to traditional bicycles between 2017 and 2022. Injuries double doubling annually and hospitalizations increasing by 43 fold between 2017 and 2022. I have no idea what 43 fold. I imagine that means 43 times.

[Roy]

Gory.

[Stugotz]

That's crazy, though.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm looking and I'm seeing between 2020 and 2021, there was a massive spike in hospitalizations. Doesn't say for what, though.

[Stugotz]

Could have been bug bites.

[Billy]

There were more scooters around back then. And then the local governments had to rein it in.

[Greg Cody]

Billy, why did you get applause when you walked. When you walked in today, you were beaming. You were radiant.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't do things for applause, but I came in and I had a tray of some pastelitas that I wanted to come and, you know, bring my. My co workers, my colleagues here, dare I say friends, this morning for breakfast. Now, as you can see, it's still there. It seems like it was untouched. So I'm kind of regretting bringing that. Doesn't seem like anyone really wanted them.

[Roy]

Look, I inhaled about three or four.

[Stugotz]

I feel like every once in a while we get this type of thing where somebody brings a little something they had from their house from the weekend. And I feel like a lot of times it's just trying to clear out of your house, right? You have, like, this in your. Like, in your kitchen, and you're like, I gotta. I'm never gonna eat these. I gotta get rid of them. Just bring them to your office. All right?

[Roy]

I don't.

[Stugotz]

I don't understand that that's how the.

[Mike Ryan]

Conversation is a good gesture. I don't think that you have to go and start questioning whether or not, you know, I had a party yesterday and it was leftover, so I decided to bring them into the office. Look, here's the thing. Those could have gone to my wife's office. They came to this office. I did.

[Billy]

I'm not appreciating you.

[Stugotz]

I do the same thing.

[Mike Ryan]

She got the bocaditos.

[Stugotz]

I do the same thing.

[Billy]

Can I ask you a question about bocaditos? Because I'm not a fan.

[Mike Ryan]

That's why I didn't.

[Billy]

I like, Boca ditos. And I tried something for the first time at a birthday party on Friday. I think the Cuban finger food is elite. It's right up there with charcuterie. In terms of best finger food, the Cuban bocaditos. What's that pace in the middle of the two sweet breads?

[Mike Ryan]

Bocadito spread.

[Billy]

Okay, so that's magical.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. You could buy that.

[Billy]

I put that on anything. One thing that I had on Friday that I had never thought of doing before was putting a croqueta in between the slices.

[Dan Le Batard]

It changed my life.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Billy]

Have you ever tried this? It never even. I never could even comprehend that this was a possibility. I separated the finger foods, combining them, making a little croqueta sandwich.

[Mike Ryan]

They're the small. The buns, though, it's perfect. You have to get the mini one.

[Roy]

Trendsetter.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, but you get, like, the mini.

[Billy]

Croquetas that are also part of when you have parties. Like, they shrink the size of the croqueta. If you've never done this before and you're Cuban, try it. It'll rock your world. And you'd be wondering, why haven't I tried this before?

[Greg Cody]

Well, you've just mentioned something that. I can't believe that it was such a part of my cultural upbringing that I had sort of overlooked it without even thinking about it before right now, which is, oh, yeah, I put up Cuba's finger foods against every other culture's. I'd put it up and I'd go all in with Cuban finger foods. But I had never considered. Yes, of course, they're magical and wonderful and everything else. I had just never considered that there would be that. That they would be that kind of elite. Like, who else is challenging Cuban charcuterie boards?

[Billy]

Like the French would probably say, like, our little finger food spreads are up there. The Italians might. Might suggest that even though they're very similar.

[Greg Cody]

Just cheese.

[Mike Ryan]

How do we classify finger foods?

[Stugotz]

Right?

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, what do we consider?

[Stugotz]

Are we talking pigs in the blanket? Mozzarella sticks?

[Mike Ryan]

It's popcorn chicken, a finger food. I invented that.

[Billy]

Even though mozzarella sticks are kind of Italian, I lump them in with American fare. And I would say the. The metal sand, as I have it, is. Who do we give credit to? The charcuterie board. Let's say France. France, Cubans, Americans when it comes to finger food fare.

[Stugotz]

But I'll go pigs in the blanket over a chicouts board or what?

[Greg Cody]

Well, but this is the thing, though. You have no. You have no palate or taste for, like, fine cheeses. Right. You wouldn't know what the difference between a $10 cheese is in an $80 cheese. I know.

[Stugotz]

I know. Cheese.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Cheese.

[Stugotz]

That's just the prosciuttos and these thin meats just a little overrated.

[Billy]

Oh, come on, man.

[Stugotz]

It's fine. Once again, I did this with barbecue food. It's fine, but it gets celebrated like it's this next coming of Jesus.

[Billy]

It's just. How about a little fig jam?

[Greg Cody]

All right. I need more.

[Roy]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

I need more culture here in the room. I need to know if we're. Because I'm all of a sudden ready to rank Cuban finger foods as the finest of all the finger foods. And, of course, charcuterie boards would rival that. But now, if I'm asking third place some culture that's vying for this particular distinction, saying, no, ours are the finest of the finger foods. Because you guys just basically mentioned a bunch of Friday's appetizers is what you guys.

[Stugotz]

Exactly.

[Greg Cody]

You guys just did like potatoes. What do we do with sushi?

[Billy]

That's a great question. But it's often a main course. More often a main course than you do use chopsticks. However, the way that sushi was intended to be eaten was with the fingers.

[Greg Cody]

No, but I think you guys are doing something here. Let's see if this is accurate. So finger foods are all the foods that you eat with your fingers. Because I don't think of sushi, then.

[Mike Ryan]

Hot dog is one. Or pizza.

[Greg Cody]

I don't think of sushi is what it is that we're talking about. Sushi is a main dish. I'm talking about stuff that is never a main dish. We're talking about stuff that you could eat one at a time that is never a main dish.

[Chris Cody]

Hors d' oeuvres, Sushi not a main dish.

[Billy]

You don't think so.

[Chris Cody]

Sushi is basically the Japanese version of the appetizer salad.

[Stugotz]

Definitely a main dish.

[Roy]

I agree.

[Billy]

So would you consider it an hors d' oeuvre?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Billy]

All right, so then where do you place it?

[Stugotz]

But you look at the menu. It's at the entree part of a menu. When you go to a Japanese restaurant.

[Chris Cody]

That's because we've allowed it to get to this place. But by itself, you have to eat so much sushi to be like, I'm full.

[Billy]

So you finger food or not finger food?

[Chris Cody]

For sure.

[Billy]

All right, then rabbit, then. Is it better than a charcuterie board or Cuban finger food?

[Chris Cody]

Oh, sushi's number one.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Roy]

Oh, no, no. Better than Macaroni, cheese bites, charcuterie board number one.

[Stugotz]

Seed this thing. Like, obviously by definition it's. It's anything conveniently eaten with your fingers.

[Greg Cody]

I do want to get back to the previous accusation.

[Stugotz]

Finger food.

[Greg Cody]

That wings are a convenient.

[Chris Cody]

Wings are not a finger. Here's the finger food. Finger food. This is the test. Can I eat it and go. And then I'm pretty clean. If I can do that. That's a finger food. If I was like, oh, I got.

[Mike Ryan]

Sauce and stuff, but it can't be sweet. I like M and Ms. Are finger food.

[Greg Cody]

Sushi has sauces. Sushi.

[Stugotz]

But for the most part you're not. Your hands aren't like if you have a couple pieces of sushi, you can get away without people.

[Mike Ryan]

You don't eat sushi with your hands. Have you got an animal?

[Stugotz]

I've done it.

[Billy]

That's the way that it was it up.

[Greg Cody]

Pick it up, pop it in.

[Chris Cody]

You're good. That's all you got to do. You pick it up. You pop it in.

[Stugotz]

Now you pick it up. Dip it in the spicy man.

[Billy]

You pack it up. Pack it in.

[Chris Cody]

Let me begin. But then you. You're done. That's. That's the test.

[Roy]

Let me begin.

[Chris Cody]

If it's a finger food.

[Greg Cody]

Good timing.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg's right.

[Stugotz]

Craig nailed it.

[Billy]

I mean, Martin battle me.

[Roy]

That's a sin. What are you talking about? Let's go.

[Chris Cody]

Hey, Greg. What you coming to do?

[Greg Cody]

Billy? The accusation was made on air and off because it came through my headset long before it was said here. Billy's pastelitos are from this weekend's party. And so for some reason when you were getting applause, I didn't think anybody saw that as anything other than a nice gesture. Billy brought in food, but what Billy brought in was he's cleaning out his fridge.

[Mike Ryan]

Leftovers.

[Roy]

No, it's fine with me.

[Mike Ryan]

I brought you guys food. I mean, I don't understand the problem here. Nice.

[Stugotz]

It's a two birds with one stone situation. You were able to declutter your house and do a nice thing for us.

[Mike Ryan]

It was from yesterday. And so, I mean, you assume when you go to the bakery they make them that day. You have no way of knowing.

[Billy]

That's super nice. That's considerate. Making sure nothing goes to waste too. You're doing.

[Mike Ryan]

Looks like they're going to waste. To be perfectly honest, they haven't been very popular.

[Billy]

Super fresh.

[Greg Cody]

I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure you ate.

[Mike Ryan]

Must not know. Yeah. That they're there.

[Greg Cody]

Roy will put some in his pockets. But you did.

[Billy]

Not an easy food to steal, by the way.

[Greg Cody]

It's not very flaky. Flakes. A lot of flakes. The crime scene is littered with. With an assortment of crumbs. Those. Those worse culprits than most. But not a lot of people have eaten. And I saw you eating, too. Are you the only one who has eaten this gift you have now brought in that no one has had any of except for you?

[Mike Ryan]

It seems like I brought them for myself, but I can't eat all of those, so they'll stay there. I mean, they'll be like, thank you, Billy.

[Greg Cody]

I don't mean to sound ungrateful about it.

[Billy]

Wait, I'm just checking. Am I the only person that did the Boca dito with the croqueta in the middle ever? Like, no one here has that experience, right? How is this possible? We're all Cubans. We've been to countless parties where this Cuban finger food has been around, and we've never thought to combine the finger foods.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, have Greg Cody and his son. Are you guys. Let me do see, Let me see here. When I look at how different both kinds of South Florida are in Panther, South Florida, and Dade County, South Florida. If we had a contest right now between the Cody's where I asked you to name Cuban finger foods and you went back and forth, would you guys lose quickly because none of the local culture has ever reached you. So you guys choose charcuterie board because you can't name four Cuban finger foods. Like, if I went back and forth with you two, are you. Are. Do you have enough Hispanic influence in your life to be able to play this game?

[Stugotz]

I think I could play it poorly.

[Roy]

I'm not a fan of. This is blasphemy. I'm not a huge fan of Cuban food.

[Stugotz]

I love Cuban food.

[Roy]

It probably ranks 10th, 10 on my list of cuisine.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, we're the nine cuisines in our.

[Stugotz]

Get this guy a mistake. And panisado, please.

[Roy]

Thank you.

[Greg Cody]

You think. You think there are a lot of finger foods better than the croqueta?

[Roy]

I don't like croquetas. The pastelito I loved. I thought that was just great.

[Billy]

That's a flaky, flaky pastry. That is a finger food.

[Roy]

It's magnificent.

[Billy]

It applies to the definition and it's part of like, hey, just went to this bakery. We're having a birthday party that's out on the tray. You can get smaller ones.

[Roy]

I think croqueta is one of the most overrated Foods.

[Greg Cody]

This is insulting.

[Stugotz]

I can mess with a tequeno.

[Greg Cody]

Look, I can't look at my friend, this Papa Diana. I can't look at you.

[Roy]

The truth hurts.

[Greg Cody]

No, this is. I mean, this is plastic.

[Roy]

It's a MCOVA rated.

[Greg Cody]

No, I just.

[Roy]

Can I tell you, it's like a. You know, it's like a cheese stick. I mean, come on.

[Chris Cody]

What's wrong with that?

[Greg Cody]

Masa de puerco. Like, I don't believe that. I don't believe that, you know Cuban food. I don't. I believe that. This is. This is ignorance.

[Mike Ryan]

No, Tequeno's Venezuelan.

[Roy]

I think I love the Costillo de Puerco.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Roy]

You know, I get a couple of those whenever I go to my favorite restaurant that serves them. And it's great. We, you know, it's pork chops. Moho. I made a mojo dish the other day. I don't know whether that's a Cuban thing or not.

[Chris Cody]

Moho.

[Greg Cody]

That's good. That's a good way to talk about Cuban food is to not know what culture you're making.

[Stugotz]

Pastelitos de carne.

[Roy]

Is moho a Cuban?

[Billy]

Yeah, maybe if, like, we found a country of origin, it's not Cuban, and that would be shocking.

[Roy]

It could be Spain.

[Billy]

That would be shocking because Cubans use Moho for a lot.

[Roy]

We love Moho.

[Greg Cody]

It is Moho. Raleigh, please stop doing that. Don't do that anymore. Thank you.

[Billy]

Mo Raleigh.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. Billy's just doing whatever he wants to over there. A little bit of Wild Willy Wednesday, sneaking into our Monday.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg loves a Cuba Libre. Right, Greg?

[Roy]

Cuba Libre, Absolutely.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Coughlin's Law.

[Greg Cody]

Let's play the game. Go ahead, Chris, you go one time. Give me a finger food. That's Cuban.

[Stugotz]

Oh, my God.

[Roy]

Croqueta, pastelito, pocadito, Costilla de parco.

[Greg Cody]

You're cheating by using the only two you've known so far.

[Stugotz]

Chicharo.

[Roy]

Oh, man. Let me think now.

[Greg Cody]

You've lived here all your life.

[Stugotz]

I know I can go again.

[Roy]

Prefer that kind of food. I'm sorry.

[Greg Cody]

It's because you don't know it is what I would argue. Clearly.

[Roy]

And why wouldn't I know it? Because if I loved it, would I know it?

[Greg Cody]

No, you've never tried it. You're not somebody who. You're not. You don't. You can't name. I'm asking you to name foods.

[Billy]

Well, in his defense, there's like, three of them.

[Greg Cody]

Your son could go forever. Your son has had a lot.

[Roy]

Perhaps he loves Cuban food more than I do.

[Chris Cody]

Well, he loves all food platinum. I like how he grabs onto the desk.

[Billy]

That's not a finger food. It's too slimy.

[Stugotz]

Yes, it is.

[Chris Cody]

Chris, you can't. You can't do that. It's not a finger.

[Greg Cody]

What kind of rule is this?

[Billy]

That's a great rule.

[Roy]

Made up.

[Billy]

That's a great rule.

[Roy]

Wings are a finger.

[Billy]

French fried are not.

[Greg Cody]

Cuban chicken wing is a finger food.

[Mike Ryan]

But you can't do that with a wing.

[Greg Cody]

I don't like.

[Billy]

You get a sauce up wing. You got to lick your fingers.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, you got to. You need. They got to give you a moist towelette. It's not a finger food.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Roy]

King wing. By the way, I like plantain chips with the garlic sauce.

[Mike Ryan]

There you go.

[Roy]

Does that count?

[Billy]

Yeah, that's. That's mo.

[Greg Cody]

All right, Mo.

[Mike Ryan]

Chris's turn.

[Greg Cody]

It's mojo. It's the thing that you were talking about. Now, where.

[Roy]

Where I. On. On the rare occasion when I go to a Cuban restaurant, there's plantain chips are served with the marikitas. Yes. It's more of a garlicky sauce than it is mojo.

[Greg Cody]

Every time I look over there, Chris, you might as well be dressed like a flamenco dancer. Every time I'm here, you just. You just hit me with more and more Spanish when I don't know who's feeding you there.

[Stugotz]

Lena Rus.

[Chris Cody]

See how he's grabbing a desk, but he's scared, like, he'll collapse.

[Greg Cody]

I see that his sphincter is. He's not confident doing comedy in Spanish.

[Stugotz]

Empanada.

[Greg Cody]

Roy, give me. After three hours of chewing that gum, give me as much Connor McDavid analysis as you possibly can, please. I can't right now. My mouth hurts.

[Roy]

I'm sorry.

[Chris Cody]

You look like you have grills made out of bubble gum.

[Greg Cody]

I'm Paul Warm right now. Your. Your jaw is going to hurt. Yes, it already does. Your jaw will hurt tomorrow, and it will be. But. So you can't give me spoken analysis. You're just trying to get to the end of the show because this gum hasn't gotten any smaller while you chew it for three hours.

[Roy]

That's correct.

[Greg Cody]

Are you in a. These punishments are always worse than you think they are. Congratulations on doing it, by the way. Chris Cody weaseled his way. He didn't actually complete it. You're. You took on his penalty because Chris Cody failed to get to the end of it because he said it was too much. So congratulations on being less of a coward than he is.

[Roy]

Thank you, Dan Aros and Parallel.

[Greg Cody]

That's not good. That would have been good if your ass hadn't gotten tight. But your ass got tight because you got scared. And so you're gonna have to leave.

[Stugotz]

Minor penalty, two minutes.

[Billy]

Asshole.

[Greg Cody]

I wanna, I wanted to ask ask you guys something that I forgot to ask you during the local hour when we were talking about how quickly architecture can change in the modern age of, you know, you're doing finger food. This, this, this. But. Oh, Celtics. Okay, gonna wrap that up. How. How did the Knicks do it? I was a little surprised. Perhaps I should not have been that what was for a bright flash across the sky somehow the most exciting time in Dolphin in football in 25 years to sort of casually learn. Oh, John who? Smith and Jalen Ramsey. That's both going to be casualties. That whatever you were trying to do with those guys, they're probably not going to be around to do whatever the rest of that is. And so a very quick time in Dolphins football turns around with two players, you know, were good and successful here that you better not have gotten too attached to. And by the way, great run by Jalen Ramsey, like they got a lot of good football out of him. Long past what would or should be the prime for somebody at that position. But I was just curious what you guys thought of Two name productive players during what has been the most exciting time in Dolphin football in 25 years are now going to be gone soon. And they won you nothing and you wasted their time and you wasted your money and nothing positive happened in terms of winning meaningful winners.

[Roy]

Yeah, that, that Dolphin. The heydays of the Dolphins didn't last long. It took about a minute and a half back. Two years ago it was when they score 70 points against Denver. And the offense with Tyree Kill is the talk of the league. Right. Mike McDaniel wears the Genius hat for a year now the over under on Wins is like eight. They play 17 games. They're going to struggle to be a.500 team, let alone make the playoff. What happened? You know, part of it is that is that TUA can't stay healthy and misses a lot of games. But with, with John, ooh, Smith and, and Jalen Ramsey, both are older players, it's almost as if they're in a rebuild, you know, without ever having gotten anywhere. There's, they're like starting over and with.

[Greg Cody]

The same GM in charge.

[Roy]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, you can't do it that you can't do seven years of. You can't be back at rebuild.

[Roy]

McDaniel and Greer are Coaching and general managing for their jobs this year. There's no question about that. There's going to be huge turnover if they fail this season.

[Billy]

John, who's on a very team friendly deal now, he does have value because it's only $4.8 million. He doesn't really eat into their cap. If they were truly rebuilding, why is Tyreek Hill not long gone? What are they going to do with their wide receivers? They have a lot of big contracts on their books. I think this is the result of them having to pay Tua. And you're going to have to say goodbye to some guys that were productive. You don't often have to say goodbye to guys that are on good contracts the way that Johnu is. I know that John, new behind the scenes, has been asking for a new contract to reflect his season last year, which was a very good season.

[Roy]

But the reality is Tyreek Hill isn't worth what he was two years ago. And the Marlins are finding this out with Sandy Alcantara, whose ERA was eight last time I looked. Look, they're trying to trade him. The market has plummeted. Tyree Kill. I don't know what they're going to get for him if they trade him. And there is that speculation that he could be gone. But what are you going to get for Tyree Kill? A third round pick, A third and a seventh. I mean, he's worth more to you than he is in trade right now, which wouldn't have been the case.

[Greg Cody]

I can't be friends with Greg Cody if he thinks croquetas are overrated. I can't be, I can't be no. I can't be I can't be.

[Roy]

No.

[Stugotz]

Khan Konpinga.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, as a small business, we don't get to clock out ever. We're always on nights, weekends, holidays. So when it came time to hire someone, we couldn't waste time. We needed help. Real help. Not Stugot's nose.

We use LinkedIn jobs. And we'll be honest, we didn't expect it to be that easy. We posted the job for free. LinkedIn basically held our hand and wrote the description for us. Next thing you know, candidates, qualified ones, not resumes written in crayon. Real people who want to work.

We even threw the little hashtag hiring frame on our profile picture, doubled the number of applicants. Now we're part of that 72% of small businesses that say LinkedIn helps them.
