[Dan LeBatard]

No hassle?

[Mike Ryan]

None.

[Stugotz]

That is super convenient.

Sell your car to Carvana and swap.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Tony]

This episode of the Dan Lobatar show with Stugats is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Mike Ryan]

I had a very awkward interaction with Tony before the show where he sort of delighted in starting to tell me that he has applied for a new job. And I was both confused by his enthusiasm and wondering about his judgment as well.

[Stugotz]

Well, no, no, but I told you. I prefaced it by saying it' side gig.

[Tony]

It's not going to take me away.

[Stugotz]

From here, but it's something that's very exciting and something that I hope somebody in here can help me with.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, we'll get to it in a second. I was just confused by all of it. Also confusing the way the last segment ended. I feel like Jessica applied some of the fairest criticism ever applied at this show when she asked aloud, why did Billy get choked there with as annoying as Mike was for the last hour of our show, and she's totally right about that. It's inarguable that Mike Ryan should have been choked out John Cena style during the last hour.

[Tony]

You're trying to open the door back out.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm not.

[Tony]

No, don't do it, man.

[Mike Ryan]

I do not want it open anymore.

[Tony]

If you're talking about John Cena. No.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you. Thank you for all of your work.

[Tony]

You referenced the stfu, okay. Which is like an stf, only he adds the U at the end to make it seem like he's saying fu.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, thank you for all.

[Tony]

Now, his original feature was the fu, but then they changed it to the attitude adjustment.

[Mike Ryan]

Come on, Mike. Mike, please stop.

[Stugotz]

Mike is like TV PG or something, right?

[Tony]

But, Billy.

[Stugotz]

Mark, I'm just asking. Mark, I'm just curious.

[Tony]

So you can bring back the fu.

[Mike Ryan]

Listen to me, Billy. Let's play the FIU montage. Give me some sweetener here. Billy, over the weekend, evidently did some more calling of FIU baseball. Let's just get to as much of that sound as we can, please.

[Stugotz]

You know what they say, Corey? Numbers sometimes lie, sometimes lie.

[Billy Gill]

I always go, numbers never lie. Except when they do.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Okay. Write that down. I had to look up to see which was his first name and his last name. If I'm gonna be honest with you, it's one of those situations.

[Billy Gill]

Two last names. Always a crowd pleaser. But either way, you worker Brooks in there, it's got my stamp of approval at least, really. Corey Brooks, Billy Gill with you here on ESPN plus that is in tight to Craig.

[Stugotz]

Forgot your last name was Brooks. I was gonna ask you if you're gonna name a child Brooks at some point, but Brooks. Brooks would be a weird name.

[Billy Gill]

It's a bit redundant.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

FIU taking on the Hurricanes at Lone Depot Park.

[Stugotz]

Big one. Corey. That's all I got on that. More to come Tuesday.

[Billy Gill]

More to come.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

And Rick Ross was doing his part.

[Stugotz]

Wow. The boss.

[Billy Gill]

Which, upon further review, he has a lot of songs where he's not a huge part of the vocals.

[Stugotz]

Huh.

[Billy Gill]

Is that supposed to mean he's a great collaborator?

[Stugotz]

Okay, well, disagree. I. I'm not saying that he's not a great collaborator. I don't know if I would just describe him as a collaborator. Hopefully Rick Ross is not listening tonight.

[Billy Gill]

I kind of hope he is. That'd be pretty cool.

[Stugotz]

It would be, but I don't know if the boss is someone that you want to be messing with.

[Billy Gill]

I think you're bolstering my point here.

[Stugotz]

Well, here's the thing.

[Billy Gill]

Go on.

[Stugotz]

I think you can argue DJ Khaled is a collaborator, right?

[Billy Gill]

Absolutely.

[Stugotz]

Even DJ Khaled's song. DJ Khaled just gives, like, the beats. Right. He doesn't add anything.

[Billy Gill]

I wouldn't go that far.

[Stugotz]

Well, I didn't. I. I take that back.

[Billy Gill]

Now who's the one who's out here slinging mud?

[Stugotz]

I didn't mean that.

[Billy Gill]

Right into the glow of Castellano for the first out, here's Fred.

[Stugotz]

Sorry, that's worse than what I said. Yeah. If you're listening, Khaled. I'm sorry. Any games with Solana yet?

[Billy Gill]

Quite a few.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. How's that been?

[Mike Ryan]

Great.

[Stugotz]

Who do you like more, me or him?

[Billy Gill]

Very different broadcasters. Oh, very different.

[Stugotz]

In what sense?

[Billy Gill]

Solana, obviously, having his role with the Miami Heat and preheat, wants to bring a very analytical approach to the game.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Whereas you and I. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Are.

[Billy Gill]

Well, the first word in ESPN is entertainment, and that's a little more the bent that you bring to the table.

[Stugotz]

Wow. Okay. Well, I promise you that for the next game, I'm bringing you nothing but analytics.

[Billy Gill]

I look forward to that.

[Stugotz]

You will not. My urologist is not a fan.

[Billy Gill]

No.

[Stugotz]

My high protein diet. They've said less burgers, less steak, please.

[Billy Gill]

That's tough.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. But you want to beat the Stones. That's what you got to do. Kidney stones.

[Billy Gill]

The Rolling Stones come for us all.

[Stugotz]

Oh, yeah. Rolling Stone catches no moss. Corey.

[Tony]

Ah.

[Stugotz]

I don't know if you knew that.

[Billy Gill]

That's why you're quicker than me, Billy.

[Stugotz]

There's a lot of context missing in a lot of those clips. If I'm gonna be honest with you, Billy, we also got into a whole Adam and Eve situation. Yeah.

[Tony]

Oh, wow.

[Stugotz]

I don't know. I didn't make the cut, Billy. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

As a broadcaster, you are brave.

[Stugotz]

Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

There is no one occupying the lane of purposely awkward and perfect pacing for baseball, where you're even slower than the game. On how you're doing a podcast during the play by play.

[Stugotz]

Listen respectfully. And he's a Hall of Famer. Baseball moved way too fast for Dave Van Horn. That guy was slow. Okay. That has nothing to do with this. And I don't know why I'm taking shots at Dave Van Horn. DVH here at the end. But hall of Famer. He is a Hall of Famer. I said that on the front. I'm hall of Famer. But, yeah, like, Greg, a couple. Couple notes. I probably would have put a bed underneath that montage to keep it moving because I was. I, you know, I could understand how the audience is, like, why would I listen to this? But if you like that. Good news tomorrow, University of Miami. Fiu Football or baseball? Sorry, University. I got distracted.

[Tony]

Kind of early for that.

[Stugotz]

Watching here on First Take. First Take is talking about the Rock and. And John Cena again. Oh, don't do that. Oh, no. Show day in sports. Anyways, tomorrow, if. If you guys are, you know, saying, hey, I want to listen to some FIU and some, um, baseball, you can go check it out at Marlins park and you can listen. I'll be on the broadcast again. So I'll be there. I think we're going to be. Will you be there?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I got season tickets.

[Stugotz]

Are you going to be fiu? Okay, pause up. If you're covering it, Greg, feel free to drop by the booth. I'd be happy to bring you into the booth for, you know, a couple innings. Whatever it is, it's going to be on YouTube. People can interact with us this time. Minor penalty. Two minutes for lying.

[Mike Ryan]

L. Get out of here.

[Greg Cody]

Show you my tickets.

[Stugotz]

I think I just saw him. I think I saw him on Friday. Thank you. Up there.

[Tony]

You're not there every game.

[Mike Ryan]

Not a season ticket holder.

[Stugotz]

Might be.

[Mike Ryan]

You're. That's not true. Get out of here.

[Stugotz]

See, he knows. How would he know that unless he was one?

[Mike Ryan]

I like. I like the role that you're occupying there, Billy, as awkward announcer.

[Stugotz]

I'm not trying to do that. People keep telling me they like these roles that you're here and you're not. This guy that's bringing analytics and you're saying, awkward. I'm just trying to go in and punch the clock, call the game.

[Mike Ryan]

Why is it very different from Solana, who has Tony's endorsement and being better than you at this? Why is it so different? Why are they saying it's such a different broadcast when Solana comes there with his sports coat and his tie and tries to give a real sportscast and you're in there talking about gibberish.

[Stugotz]

Well, okay for gibberish is very offensive. There was context missing in. What was. Thank you. There was context.

[Jessica]

I was watching.

[Stugotz]

There was context missing about the urologist a lot. Exactly right. They were talking about how the players are now eating more burgers and steak because they have a high protein diet. And I said my urologist was mad at me for having a high protein diet.

[Tony]

How was that guy knowing.

[Stugotz]

Just kind of throwing it out there because, you know, some people may be listening to the broadcast for medical advice for whatever reason. And I want, you know, to have them know that, yes, a high protein diet is great, but sometimes it's not the best thing for you given, you know, each person, each body. Body's a temple, Dan. But each temple is different. And some temples need certain things to run, and some temples need other things to run. And if you put the wrong things in your temple, then your temple might shut down. And you don't want your temple to shut down. So I'm just kind of putting that out there. And this whole. These people, everybody's trying to turn me and Solana against each other. I'm not trying to feud with anyone. I'm not trying to do anything. No one said one was better than the other, just that they were different. And that's fine. That's fine. But if I need to go out there and I need to be talking about launch angles and I need to be talking about.

[Mike Ryan]

Solana's doing that in a sports code. He's doing it as if he's broadcasting for a future job with a tie. And you're out there being lax with your Marlins cap and your dolphin shirt.

[Stugotz]

No, no, Lax is not different.

[Tony]

Sp.

[Stugotz]

Lax is different.

[Mike Ryan]

That's what is doing.

[Stugotz]

Cody does those sports, too. So that's not. That's not what I was. That's not what I was doing. I go there dressed in a polo shirt. I go there wearing pants. Like, that's.

[Mike Ryan]

Why do you keep pointing at the television, Corey?

[Stugotz]

Cody, I saw that.

[Mike Ryan]

I saw that.

[Stugotz]

I need a vacation.

[Mike Ryan]

First take I saw has on. First take I saw Lafsky back after that emotional goodbye to the network two weeks ago. And I saw that Ocho Cinco is on there. Is that the first time he's on there? Finally, Shannon Sharp has gotten him on there, too.

[Tony]

Some love for Club Shay. Shay, yeah. They were just talking about John Cena's heel turn. And they were showing very graphic images of Cody Rhodes laying in a pool of his own blood. Not since the Bay of Pigs have I seen a Massachusetts man leave. A Cuban man hung out to die.

[Stugotz]

He's right about that.

[Mike Ryan]

Cody is in the other room again. Cody, what thoughts do you have from the other room? From the penalty box?

[Tony]

Cody is here.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I want to talk to Greg, Cody, Billy, Mark needs a vacation. And I've got a couple of other things that I need to go to. But Greg, what do you have from the other room? I'm being told that you have something.

[Greg Cody]

Greg Cody Rhodes. No, I don't. I'm still mesmerized by Billy's performance on the air. It's unlike any other I've heard when he's broadcasting FIU baseball. I think what you need, though, you need to pipe in a little fake crowd noise because it's very.

[Mike Ryan]

It needed something. It needed some production, it needed some help.

[Stugotz]

That's fine. We will. We'll take note. I mean, during the game, you hear the sounds, you hear the birds, you hear the ambiance. You hear everything going.

[Mike Ryan]

I like that you're slowing it down, that you're slow. A world slow down. Billy Gale. Billy Gill's broadcasting. And not every silence has to be filled with someone's yammering. Someone's gas bag.

[Stugotz]

Well, this also you should know, is on ESPN plus, so it's video, so it's different. And when. When we would do, you know, the Marlin spring training games, which, by the way, if full disclosure doesn't seem like it's gonna happen again because. Well, because Kyle got a promotion and now he's the TV guy. And then guess what happens. I love Kyle too. Except Kyle got what he needed out of us and now he's moved on to television. Not even a call, not a text, nothing from Chris Cody's wife. Like that just threw us to the curb. We haven't heard from Kyle Silof. So, you know, love Kyle, but screw.

[Greg Cody]

You because he's never Kyle.

[Stugotz]

Thank you, Greg. He gets it. Greg's a journalist. He's never gonna invite us on again, which is perfectly fine.

[Greg Cody]

Right?

[Stugotz]

So that. That is to the hell with.

[Mike Ryan]

To hell with Kyle.

[Stugotz]

Did I say that? He's right about that.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's your daughter in law.

[Stugotz]

I left him. I am in a group chat with him. Yeah, well, no, Kyra brought me out.

[Greg Cody]

That's what I'm saying.

[Stugotz]

You left.

[Tony]

You've had every opportunity to bring this up in the group chat that you're in with them and you have.

[Stugotz]

They can't. Well, because I wouldn't do that in publicly. So they cancel. They cancel our last spring training game because of rain, which we could have played through. Right. But cancel and said, okay, well, you know, we'll reschedule this.

[Dan LeBatard]

And it was like a torrential statewide downpour that day.

[Stugotz]

Okay, well, anyways, so we didn't we ended up doing a regular season game, which we were told maybe we'd do a regular season game. That didn't happen. And now I can. I can catch a hint.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, that's a broken pump. No, wait a minute.

[Stugotz]

I'm not going to be invited. We didn't do spring training this year because now He's a big TV man about 10, and he's not gonna invite us on the television network. I understand that. And I don't have the relationship with the radio guys. So FIU says, you know what? FIU put. Put me on tv, espn. And that's why this is all a long answer. Just to say that's why it's a different pace than when me and Chris would do the radio calls. Because television, you have the visual there, so you don't have to paint every picture. The pictures are there, painted. So you're just adding a little accents here and there. You know what I mean?

[Mike Ryan]

I like that Mike Ryan said of how you use the F and the U that you can tell Kyle right now, hey, fiu, you can tell him what they. You've. You have said on this show that your friendships can be bought. And this one sounds like it's over because Kyle in the group chat has moved on to television and left you in the rearview mirror in a way that has a broken promise as the punctuation to your relationship.

[Stugotz]

No, it's not. As far as I'm concerned, our friendship is still as exactly as it was, which I don't actually know the nature of our friendship to begin with, but as far as I'm concerned, we have.

[Dan LeBatard]

To pay you to never speak to him ever again.

[Stugotz]

To Kyle, buck and a half. I don't think he wants to speak to me ever again. I don't think it's. I don't think it's for me to say. I think that Kyle Seeloff has. Has. He's made that choice for you. Exactly right.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a straight buck and a half from another room. Kyle's friendship to you is worth a buck and a half, as assessed by Greg Cody from the other room with a surgical strike. You are no longer friends with Kyle.

[Stugotz]

No, I like Kyle. He has a cat.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay? That doesn't make you friends or doesn't mean you like him. Him having a cat is.

[Stugotz]

He saw the northern lights once on vacation.

[Mike Ryan]

Extraneous information don't need.

[Stugotz]

I'm just sharing context. Well, that's. Those clips were missing context. People were thinking, I'm just a crazy person. Rambling about things that have no meaning. Those were all connected to certain things that we were talking about. But lacking that context, you don't know. Now Mike's calling Kyle CVS bag because.

[Dan LeBatard]

You have another kidney stone.

[Stugotz]

What's that?

[Dan LeBatard]

We never revealed what was in the CVS bag. That Tony Pepto Bismol.

[Stugotz]

Can I tell you Pepto Bismol? I said something that could maybe.

[Dan LeBatard]

Or perhaps a modium.

[Stugotz]

No. I was trying to be considerate of my coworkers because this morning on the car ride in, I had a cough that I haven't had that was somewhat uncontrollable. And I said, I don't want to be coughing in the workplace getting people potentially sick. So I went to the cvs. I was talking to my wife. I was like, I think I'm going to need to stop and get something because I have this cough that's coming on. And she said, okay, but make sure that you buy the name brand, because I know you. You usually go and buy the. You usually go and you buy the generic one. Just like. Don't do that. Buy the name brand. Buy like a Mucinex and then you'll actually get better. Don't buy the, like, off brand medicine. And I bought the medicine. $5 cheaper, sucker. Exactly right. Why am I gonna go and buy Robotussin when I can just buy Wall Tussin or Tussin? Like, I'm not gonna pay 5 extra dollars because I want a Nike swoosh on my medicine. Get out of here. It's the same exact thing.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll, please. I'm no health expert, but people seem sicker. Yes or no at Lebitard show. I think sicknesses are lasting a little longer. I think everybody's got a little bit more of a cold than they used to have. It seems like we're walking around all of us just a little bit sicker. But Billy's here on behalf of brand products to tell you, here's $5 that you can save on if you're sicker. This might make you feel better. The savings, not necessarily the medicine.

[Stugotz]

It's exactly the same. If I'm going to be sick, I'd rather with $5 in my pocket then giving you an extra $5. Just because here was where my conflict was this morning. And I don't know why we're talking about this. Here's where my conflict was.

[Mike Ryan]

This would be entirely your fault.

[Stugotz]

This says maximum strength. And I don't feel like I need. Like I could get average strength if average Strength was something that they sold on medicine I could just do. I didn't realize until. No, I didn't notice right now that it said maximum strength. I was trying to avoid that because I was like I feel a little under the weather. But not maximum under the weather. So I don't want to over medicate you.

[Dan LeBatard]

Take half of a dose.

[Stugotz]

No, because they're liquid gels. Liquid gels ruin that before you could just cut a pill in half. You say, you know what, I only have a little bit of fever. I'm cut this Tylenol 3/4 and I'll be good. Toss an aspirin there, take it down with a gin and I'm good to go right now with liquid gels. You try to cut a liquid gel in half and you make a mess every gusher. You can't exactly right. You can't do that. Liquid gels and liquid gels, they mark up the prices on. You get the exact same medication if it's just like in a pill tablet form for like $3 less for the exact same medication. This is just like. Because it looks cutesy wootsy and you can see through it. What the hell do I care if I can see through it?

[Tony]

Is it faster acting if it's liquid?

[Stugotz]

No, I don't think so. I think it's just, it looks cooler. So they're like, let me sell you.

[Dan LeBatard]

On the giant pill.

[Stugotz]

Oh, I could swallow this thing like nothing. I could take horse pills if I had to tell you what right now, Billy are you're not going to show up to the house with that medicine though, right? Because your wife already told you by the name brand one and you bought the off brand one. She did tell me. Don't get that. She said get the name brand1.get this.

[Mike Ryan]

Is why she's not your friend.

[Stugotz]

Well, here's the thing about it too though, right? Show up with that. I have it at home. And, and you won't believe this, but every day I'm prepared for these scenarios and every day I have medicine on me just in case I'm not feeling well. Except today. So I have Mucinex at home, I have Mucinex DM at home, I have all of the Mucinex's at home. The maximum, the minimum, the average strength. All of those. I have them at home.

[Tony]

I've got good news for you. Yeah, liquid gels do work quicker.

[Stugotz]

Do they? Yeah, I'm feeling that that's a scam. I'm with Tony. It's fine.

[Tony]

Traditional tablets or capsules need to break down before the body can absorb the medication.

[Stugotz]

That's why I sometimes go chill and I smash them up and then I put them in a piece of ham and then I eat it like a dog. Yeah, and then fat fast acting when.

[Tony]

Liquid gels are now the most popular choice.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, it's, it's a, it's. Listen, it's all the same when you.

[Stugotz]

Hey, you sold that car yet? Yeah, sold it to Carvana.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, I thought you were selling to that guy.

[Greg Cody]

The guy who wanted to pay me.

[Stugotz]

In foreign currency, no interest over 36 months.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, no.

[Stugotz]

Carvana gave me an offer in minutes, picked it up and paid me on the spot. It was so convenient. Just like that? Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

No hassle?

[Mike Ryan]

None.

[Stugotz]

That is super convenient.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sell your car to Carvana and swap Hassell for convenience.

[Stugotz]

Pickup fees may apply.

[Mike Ryan]

Don LeBatard.

[Stugotz]

That was a long story.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it's the only kind he tells.

[Stugotz]

It's a short one for me. I tried to speed it up for you guys.

[Tony]

You forgot about the league's cup stugats.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

La Carreta is a place where the best of the celebrations has to be the 97 Marlin celebration, because it was Lavon.

[Stugotz]

Well, when Fidel died the first time. This is the Don Levatar show with the stugats.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, this is what I was going to say. You're alleging, just to be clear, to recap, that savings are actually samings, that you would prefer $5 off for average strength. That you would make the trade of. Don't give me maximum strength strength. Save me $5. Give me average strength. I'll take the savings. It's all the savings.

[Stugotz]

Well, no. Yes and no. So my. My argument was, I didn't realize this was maximum strength. When I got it. I was trying to avoid the maximum strength because I didn't feel maximum sick. Now, if something is generic or name brand, and the generic is $5 cheaper, I'm always gonna go with the generic because I'm gonna be sick regardless. So I'd rather be sick with $5, then feel sick without the $5. That's what. Now, if they. Again, if they had average strength, that was $2 off, I would do that and I would risk it and I'd see, hey, you know, guess what? I feel just the same. It's. It's a whole thing. But the reason, again, that I got this instead of the name brand is because I have the name brand at home. I don't need to keep buying the same name brand. I assume these go bad. You know what happened the other day? You're not gonna believe this, Dan. You know what happened to me the other day? I had to throw away an entire 32 ounce Heinz ketchup. You know why? Because I went to BJ's and I said, I'm gonna buy a three pack of 32 ounce Heinz ketchups. And I did this like two years ago. And I didn't realize that my ketchup consumption as I'm getting older is really slowing down. I'm not using ketchup like I used to. I thought, there's no doubt in my mind I'm gonna burn. I don't know. I guess I'm maturing. I just thought before I put ketchup on anything, I thought ketchup was nature's nectar. I loved ketchup. I would eat it with anything. Put some plain Lay's, potato chips. They could use some ketchup. Heinz 57, I love it. So I had to throw away a bottle and a half of Heinz ketchup because it expired. I had no idea they even expired. And I was pushing it as far as I could go. That. That sucker expired on January 5th, 2020-25. And I said, you know, it's March 5th. We're still. Okay, Put it on.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll, please. At Lebatard show. Have you matured? If you've exchanged ketchup for ham and medicine. Ham and medicine sandwiches at Lebatard Show. There are a number of things that I want to get to that I regret asking Mark about at all. The fact that you guys have said that Greg is not a Hall of Famer. Jessica, you feel like you've been loudest of all questioning whether or not Greg Cody is a Hall of Famer.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think I was the quietest about that. I think Mike was the loudest because he's just.

[Mike Ryan]

He's always the loudest. He was first and he was loudest. Yes, but. But I believe the disdain on your face for judging him a Hall of Famer. You're the one to mention it most recently, that he's not a Hall of Famer.

[Dan LeBatard]

No, I said he was. I said hall of Famer like Greg.

[Tony]

And I was the loudest.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. It's getting more and more popular with the legend and hall of Famer Greg Cody. What do you have to promote on this front?

[Greg Cody]

Well, this is our big fifth anniversary show. Our first show ever was March 2, 2020. We're five years old. We're celebrating by revealing the top 100 countdown of all time, greatest guests. And it's been fun. It's been controversial. People are eating it up. We're doing good traffic, unusually good traffic. And so, you know, Billy, why are.

[Mike Ryan]

You Laughing at that. There's a big fight around here because everyone thinks they're ranked too low. There are big fights in House about who should be ranked higher and. And Greg.

[Tony]

Oh, no, I don't care.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you might not care, but it's not everyone else. Izzy was thrilled with his ranking. Jeremy was furious with his. You're allowed not to care. And other people's are allowed. Other people are allowed to have feelings that are not just yours.

[Tony]

I learned I was on the show through this countdown.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, that's great.

[Greg Cody]

I didn't remember you were on the show either.

[Mike Ryan]

You're above it.

[Tony]

Why'd you give me a three then, huh?

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, it's great that you're above it. You got a three.

[Stugotz]

You got the breakdown of what you got.

[Tony]

I got a three. He may pretend that he doesn't remember remember me on the show, but he gave me a three.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay, you are not supposed to reveal.

[Greg Cody]

That could have been a one.

[Mike Ryan]

Wait a minute. A one is the worst. A three is average strength and five is maximum strength. Mike got a three. If he got a three from you, that means he's not going to be in the top 10, right?

[Greg Cody]

That's a fair comment. Yeah.

[Tony]

But it was easy to deduce that I at least got a 3 given where I was ranked.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Claire was on the show. What number did you give her?

[Greg Cody]

Princess Claire. I don't recall that she made the top one. Dad made it.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Greg Cody]

But Princess Claire, I don't believe did.

[Stugotz]

First Dan thought you had a son, and now Greg's leaving you out of the top 100. I forgot.

[Tony]

I thought you had a son.

[Greg Cody]

I could be wrong. Princess Claire may have made the top 100.

[Dan LeBatard]

Is Dan on the top 100?

[Greg Cody]

Not to give anything away, but Dan sort of had a disappointing. In fact, Dan, you know, used an expletive when we called him to congratulate him on where he had ranked. He used an expletive because he happened to have ranked one spot below Gary the Bag Rosenfeld, which I can say. But Gary is like a Greg Cody show Hall of Famer. Once we institute the hall of Fame.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Tony]

You can't say that. We have established. You can't call someone a Hall of Famer if there isn't.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. But the PFPI hall of Fame is going to happen. And Greg's Lobos too, have a great shot, in my opinion, to be a first ballot hall of Famer there. So we'll see. You know, I can't control fate.

[Stugotz]

Did you. Did you announce all 100 of your guests. Because last time we spoke, you said you weren't sure how you were going to do it.

[Greg Cody]

No, we did. We went from 100 to number one.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Greg Cody]

We did have an omission that I'm embarrassed about that I can't even reveal it.

[Mike Ryan]

No, you have to now. We're already there. You got to give the people something if we're going to promote your thing this much. Give us the embarrassing omission. Come on.

[Greg Cody]

Should I do it?

[Mike Ryan]

The list is flawed. That's okay.

[Dan LeBatard]

Tell us what it rhymes with.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, just come on, Greg.

[Greg Cody]

Come on, Uncle Schmick.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. Everybody's gonna play defense against me being able to do this.

[Stugotz]

Uncle Schmick didn't make it. Dan, everyone. Well, ask him. Also, Dan, I don't know if you remember this, but he teased it. He teased it last time.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, let's actively play defense against the good things. Let's do that.

[Stugotz]

Okay.

[Dan LeBatard]

The Heat should have tried playing defense last night.

[Greg Cody]

That's a good point.

[Dan LeBatard]

Or down 20, 19.

[Greg Cody]

Or up 20 below it. That team blows some leads, doesn't it?

[Mike Ryan]

If they protected all of their double digit leads, they'd be second in the conference in like 25 games over 500. They can't score late.

[Tony]

Who do we blame?

[Mike Ryan]

Cannot score late.

[Tony]

Who do we blame?

[Mike Ryan]

They don't have enough offense.

[Tony]

Well, who do we blame for that?

[Mike Ryan]

There is no one to blame except the architect that makes it. Because we know that Spoelstra is not the problem. And we know that the architecture is the problem. The team is not good enough.

[Dan LeBatard]

How does it feel knowing Taylor was at the Knicks Heat game last night in Miami chanting MVP at Jalen Brunson.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Mike Ryan]

That's what happened last night. The New York Knicks came into town and won for the eighth time in 10 games against the Miami Heat and have surpassed the Miami Heat.

[Dan LeBatard]

You could hear it on the broadcast.

[Mike Ryan]

All of the places that match matter. He has Brunson going to his weakness, his right hand. But he was too physical. So that's why Brunson's at the line for two.

[Stugotz]

Have you ever heard a nick crowd louder than this in Miami? We know they love to pack this.

[Tony]

Place, but they are boisterous tonight.

[Greg Cody]

Fun. That the announcer voice. We know. We know the Knicks love the boy.

[Tony]

It's just a Heat broadcast you just did.

[Greg Cody]

It was funny. What?

[Tony]

That was your Heat broadcaster, boys.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, my generic broadcast.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think that's Lee's college roommate doing the play by play for the Knicks.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Lee's college roommate was Eric Reed. Have you ever heard a nick crowd louder than this in Miami? We know they love to pack this.

[Tony]

Place, but they are boisterous tonight.

[Greg Cody]

They are boisterous tonight. Fun. I'd love to do a whole game in my worst possible announcer's voice. You should try that, Bill.

[Mike Ryan]

I think you'd run out of breath.

[Stugotz]

Come by tomorrow, Grant.

[Mike Ryan]

I think you'd run out of breath if we did it just for the last 10 minutes of this show. Do you want to try it? Do you want to try to just talk in your pukey broadcaster voice the rest of the way?

[Greg Cody]

If I had anything left to say, I would.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, let's do it. You be my co host as just pukey broadcaster. Man. I have an assortment of things to go to to. The first thing I need to go to is I need the listeners of this show who like to be around some good parties that we throw around here in Miami to save the date for what it is that I'm putting up on the screen here. We're going to have a couple of weeks of buildup into what it is that this is. But can you guys tell me what you think this is? I don't know who around here knows what because precious little has been set up about this event. But we're going to have a party that's going to reveal itself in part over the next week. We will give you more information, but we're asking you to save April 13 as the date if you want. You guys said earlier in the show that I use my father and have done it too much for too many years and may do it again tonight when it comes to banging the drums slowly at the Panther game. But my father is coming out of retirement and he is going to be a part of something that remains a mystery till now. But do you know what you're asking to be saving the date on April 13th to you or anyone else.

[Greg Cody]

Isn't that the date of the NFL draft?

[Mike Ryan]

Is it?

[Stugotz]

It is not.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

It's pretty close.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Stugotz]

I think it's the 24th.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

You know, that kind of thing.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. You just stay in that voice. Okay? Just save the date. That's all we're going to tell you. We'll break that out in pieces. The other thing I wanted to get to is the funny thing that just happened in the back of the room. I wish Chris Cody were here because he would be able to explain to me how annoying this is that his father does this. Greg Cody uses his phone, the voice. He uses the voice activation to send his texts and what he just sent as a text as I'm having trouble finding anyone who might want to go for tonight's great honor at the Panther game. What he just said into his phone to somebody is no sweet tonight, period. That's the text he just voiced into his phone. And I think that's Greg Cody canceling on being a part of what it is we're doing tonight because he just learned that there will not be a suite involved in what we're doing tonight. Who did you just send that voice text to?

[Greg Cody]

I sent it to Christopher. I was sold a bill of goods. You came too cheap. You got to negotiate a better deal with the Florida Panthers.

[Mike Ryan]

You see how you can't do it for a whole game?

[Greg Cody]

I'm doing it right now.

[Mike Ryan]

No, you've fallen apart on broadcaster voice.

[Greg Cody]

I'm doing it right now.

[Mike Ryan]

You couldn't do it for two and a half minutes.

[Tony]

So where are you? Where are you sitting?

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know.

[Tony]

I have a pretty good idea of where they're gonna put you. How many people are on your crew?

[Mike Ryan]

It is gonna be four of us. We've got four tickets. But I was asking who wanted them, and it didn't seem like anybody wanted them.

[Tony]

I have a pretty good idea of where they're gonna put you. And that is. You may see Marino.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Tony]

You are where the VIPs go.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't think that's what people.

[Stugotz]

How much are the tickets, Dan?

[Tony]

I once saw Shane McMahon there.

[Mike Ryan]

Roy, you saw what happened in the eating area moments ago. What just happened? Explain to the audience what just happened as Billy howled with laughter and then walked away from everything that was happening.

[Tony]

Well, you're gonna sit in a different area, but the Panthers have gifted us four tickets. Those tickets are not gonna be near where you're gonna be sitting. Where you're gonna be sitting. Get the smoked old fashioned. It's legendary.

[Mike Ryan]

I wanted to give tickets to a group of people who wanted them. Nobody seemed to want them.

[Stugotz]

That's not exactly what happened.

[Tony]

This is the first time I'm learning.

[Stugotz]

No, well, you. You're lucky because what we got was. Do you want to come watch me bang the drum? Cuz I have the opportunity for you to pay $37 to go watch me pick the drum. And we're like, I don't know about that.

[Dan LeBatard]

Who did he extend this invite to?

[Stugotz]

Anyone that was willing to pay $37. I think at the point. Yeah, it was like, we. I could choose two of you and the rest of you can come. Just don't sit with the Emperor. Plus parking. And then $37. I have to rent Alexis. So I get free parking even though. Exactly. You can come with me, Billy. I have Alexis.

[Tony]

They don't do that anymore. They don't do it anymore.

[Stugotz]

And then I start figuring out, like, morally, am I okay? Like, I know there's signs, but morally, am I okay? Parking at Sawgrass and walking far too.

[Tony]

It's a Failgate at the Rainforest Cafe.

[Stugotz]

Exactly. Right.

[Tony]

Pull up some zebra legs.

[Stugotz]

I have a. You know, I've always thought that. Right? Because it says, like, this parking is reserved for customers only. Right. And like, they have that. The Hard Rock, too. So if I were to go into Walmart and buy a Snickers bar and then put my receipt on the console of my car, I could not get towed because I was a customer of Walmart. Now, granted, I have spent four hours at a football game as a result, and I had free parking. But I was a customer of Walmart. You see my receipt right here? I bought a stickers bar. Correct. How would that hold up in court?

[Tony]

Well, I think they have people out there spotting to see who's crossing the street.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but I was a customer.

[Dan LeBatard]

It depends if the judge is the guy from the Cal game who knows. Dan.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, Dan's trust.

[Dan LeBatard]

Maybe he'll put in a favor for you.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg, can I have your phone for a second?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I'm turning it off.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no. Can I have it for a second? I'd like to hear or see what it is. The back and forth with your son was. When you said no sweet tonight. Did he answer?

[Greg Cody]

No, he didn't. That's what I was looking for. He's afraid of me, obviously, because he sold me a bill of Good, good. He told me the Levitard show is going to have its own suite, which, you know, reads open bar, if I'm being honest. But you should have a. Dan Marino had a suite.

[Mike Ryan]

Look, I am not responsible for any of the details on this. I haven't even decided if I'm doing it.

[Greg Cody]

I know, but your team has to negotiate a better deal.

[Tony]

Oh.

[Greg Cody]

Than four free tickets for where they're.

[Tony]

Going to put you do the drum just so you can hang out in this. This area.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm not going to be able to eat any of it. Mike.

[Stugotz]

I heard and she. I don't know if this is allowed to go on air, Dan. So I may get pow, pow. But I saw a draft of what the intro for Dan is supposed to be. Do you want to hear the intro?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, that's it. Hold on. Yes, I do want to hear the intro, but the reason I want to hear the intro is because I have not agreed to anything. I am looking to make a mockery aware of I can of this.

[Tony]

Oh, they've already made a mockery of it.

[Mike Ryan]

And so when they ask me how I want to be introduced because it's Vamos Gatos night, how Hispanic do you want to be? My answer was I want to be introduced as being from the Gulf. Gulf of America. That's how.

[Stugotz]

But that doesn't counterintuitive though, being Hispanic.

[Tony]

You're not from. You were not. You were born in New Jersey.

[Mike Ryan]

I know, but I want to come across as publicly. I want to make a political stand if I'm going to sell my journalism. And the. And so what I had sent to them is that I want to be introduced as from the Gulf of America. Dan Lebatar.

[Dan LeBatard]

Did they like it be Gulf of Mexico then? Wouldn't that be the stance?

[Mike Ryan]

No, I want to do it their way. I don't want to do Gulf of Mexico. I want to do it Gulf of America.

[Tony]

That's a. I mean, I would rescind the invitation immediately.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know what that.

[Tony]

Like what you're gonna, you're gonna go out of your way to inject politics into this?

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, that's correct. Because it's such a silly thing. That's correct.

[Tony]

No, don't.

[Mike Ryan]

It's pandering now.

[Tony]

It's a silly thing.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, it's pandering.

[Tony]

It's not a great honor that they.

[Stugotz]

It was a silly thing.

[Tony]

It's a great honor that they reserve for all time greats, like the greatest ever to do their things. But. Okay.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but it's silly.

[Greg Cody]

Everybody else had a suite, except Levitard.

[Tony]

He's in a suite. He's in the creme de la creme suite.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Everybody else isn't. We have to pay $37 to see him. He's in the suite.

[Mike Ryan]

What is that?

[Stugotz]

So here is. I don't know. That was your invitation.

[Tony]

That's a. That's quite the discount, by the way, for fair, Dan.

[Stugotz]

Like you would invite everyone to pay to come to your birthday party every year. So this is. I'm starting to notice a pattern here. You know what I mean? Wait, here's what. Here's what, what? Yeah, Moss. Yeah. So here's what I learned. This is what the description was. Cuban born, Miami native, radio, podcast and TV host Dan LeBatard.

[Tony]

Now, Cuban born.

[Stugotz]

What do they mean by that?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, what do they mean by that? Jersey City.

[Mike Ryan]

I wasn't born in Cuba. Like, why would they put Cuban.

[Tony]

You are Cuban born in that. You're 100% Cuban, right?

[Mike Ryan]

I'm Cuban American.

[Tony]

So you're Cuban American born.

[Mike Ryan]

That's right. But that's not like Cody Rhodes. That is the Cuban American dream.

[Dan LeBatard]

Was he busy tonight or.

[Tony]

Yeah, he's on. He had to have been asked first.

[Mike Ryan]

It has to be a long list of people that were asked first. I would assume.

[Stugotz]

You think they asked Mark Cuban?

[Mike Ryan]

That would be a great way. He would be Cuban born. He would be more Cuban born than I would be. Whose writing was that? And how is it that you could look at me in a straight face and say that you think I'm trying to charge you $37 to come to this game?

[Stugotz]

I'm just saying Kristen came around and said, if you guys want to go, anyone's welcome to come. And we said, okay, great. And she said, $37. And then plus, plus convenience fees, which.

[Mike Ryan]

Is, like, ridiculous, but that's what the Panthers are doing. And does that mean those are good seats or bad seats?

[Tony]

I can't imagine.

[Stugotz]

They're great. Well, I, I, I know that they're.

[Tony]

Upper deck binoculars to see you in a suite.

[Stugotz]

37 bucks.

[Mike Ryan]

But that's not my choosing on that. That's how the Panthers do this.

[Stugotz]

No, they don't.

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Greg Cody]

Normally when you bang a drum, they give you a sweet thank you. Didn't negotiate the right deal.

[Stugotz]

Michael Marino was not in the upper deck seeing his dad downstairs. You know what I mean? Mike and Footy were downstairs in the suite.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't want to do any of this. Like, I simply don't want to do it. How, how has it become something that charges people who work here $37 plus fees? They're basically taking. They're making me drive all the way up there to charge our employees 150 DOL to not be able to eat with me.

[Tony]

They're giving you four free tickets.

[Stugotz]

You did get four.

[Tony]

The creme de la creme.

[Mike Ryan]

They're not free.

[Stugotz]

Yours are.

[Tony]

Yours are.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, yours are, yours are.

[Tony]

And in this place, top shelf.

[Mike Ryan]

But no, those are the tickets that I was trying to give away.

[Tony]

No, but now you can't just. They're not going to let Mike Malley go into the where you're going. You're going to have, like, Ethan Badowski show up with you and thinking that he can have some of this sushi.

[Mike Ryan]

I have Two tickets. I have two tickets. It's me and my wife and two tickets. Tickets.

[Tony]

Yeah. So four tickets in all.

[Dan LeBatard]

Ethan might actually be the only person who would go.

[Mike Ryan]

Those are the two tickets I was trying to give away. Not charging you $37 for more tickets.

[Greg Cody]

But where are the.

[Stugotz]

This is a new and unimproved Dan Levatar show with the Stugarts.

[Mike Ryan]

Gamble on by DraftKings.

Yep.
