All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL. The world's number one vodka. Here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip. Again, Smirnoff belongs in that mix. Because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff. Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing this since 1864, which is. I don't even want to do the math. A long time. They're award winning, they make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So, yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should, too. Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Please drink responsibly. Smirnoff 21 vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.

Gonna read just a few quotes here from Canelo and Crawford and then I'll leave it alone. Just a couple of quotes to give you the historical perspective on some of the stuff that happened this week. It wasn't just football. Canelo says, quote, I tried my best tonight and I could not figure out the style. I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather, end quote. And then this from Crawford. I'm the face of boxing now. I'm the best pound for pound fighter in the world like I've always been. What are you laughing about?
Greg Cody
I mean, just. Does he deserve that? Bring up the show.
Jeremy
He does. Yes, he does.
Greg Cody
Yes.
Jeremy
I mean, he's undefeated. He made a great fighter look amateur. Crawford's older than Canelo and he made Canelo look like he didn't know what he was doing.
Mike Ryan
And he can walk a supermarket fairly anonymously.
Jeremy
That is correct. That is a statement of the sport.
Mike Ryan
Well, I don't know if he can be the face of the sport. If your face can go out in public and not be bothered.
Greg Cody
Yes, good point.
Omar Kelly
He probably gets recognized, like by one person.
Mike Ryan
Like, hey, parents, put it up on the pole. I think my new can go to Navarro and not be recognized. You'd be an idiot if you thought so.
Jeremy
Put it on the pole. At Lebatard show face of boxing. Jake Paul or Terrence Blowouts.
Dan Le Batard
What a ridiculous question.
Jeremy
I want to talk about a couple of other things because we were mentioning the Tush Push. They ran it on 12% of their plays yesterday. If you like that, that's high. 12% of their offensive plays were the Tush Push.
Mike Ryan
I like the fact that there is this unstoppable thing that teams need to scheme and get personnel to stop. And I don't think we should do away with it just because one team is really good at it.
Zaslow
What scheming is there? There's no scheme for that.
Omar Kelly
Sign a sumo wrestler.
Mike Ryan
Low man wins.
Greg Cody
All right.
Jeremy
We've heard that there is a scheme. There's just one scheme. And I'm going to tell you now. I think you think it's an unstoppable play. But I'm going to bring up some news from yesterday that will tell you how you stop that play. I associate the name I'm about to say with how to stop that play. I learned the name that I'm about to say because it stopped the play that way. Jadavian Clowning. I was introduced to him at South Carolina because he jumped over an offensive line and nuked a running back with the perfect timing. That's how I learned the name of a player I would not have otherwise learned. He signed yesterday with the Cowboys. And I just really enjoy the idea of Jadavian Clowney sitting around after week one waiting for his phone to ring so he could like he knows that one of those calls is going to be he wins the lottery again. Somebody needs a pass rusher. He doesn't need to go to training camp. He doesn't have to be ready for. For week one. He is a mercenary of the highest order. For $10 million or now $6 million, you can get him to rush quarterbacks for you for a few weeks a season.
Mike Ryan
It's like Jason Statham over these last few years just waiting for the call to ring for one last job and.
Zaslow
It'S only to play like a handful of plays a game.
Mike Ryan
Pass rushing down.
Zaslow
Yeah, that's it. It'll be like what dozen plays.
Mike Ryan
The Cowboys stay the best too because this is such a great Cowboys signing.
Jeremy
You could get Jadavian Clowney to get you four sacks a season. When he's 84 years old, he'll be able to get around.
Mike Ryan
Gotta be third and ten, the edge.
Jeremy
Yeah, he'll be waiting for that call at the nursing home. And Jerry Jones will still be making it 40 years from now in that job. Greg Cody, you have an event coming up here. What do you got going on for the Miami Herald? You are doing something for the Miami Herald and I, Gerald Hunt. I should let people know that Greg Cody has Ray Hudson. On the latest episode of Greg Cody finds out he's got Ray Hudson, the best announcer in the history of South Florida on his show. And every day for until the World cup we are going to play Ray Hudson. Goal calls, gets around Miralles tucks it in by Di Maria.
Greg Cody
Genius. That's the only word you can't use. They should name a constellation in the.
Jeremy
Heavens after Lionel Messi.
Greg Cody
Yeah, we actually asked Ray about his favorite raisms and I didn't think he was going to answer. I thought he would just go, ah, there's so many.
Omar Kelly
Oh, he what a great interview. He gave us a bunch of those calls. We asked him his favorite players to call and he just went on this four minute thing of just going through all the players and just describing them only as Ray Hudson could. I left that interview so happy because if you're into Ray Hudson at all, it was a great interview.
Greg Cody
Yeah, it was fun. And Ray and I go way back and we've sort of had parallel careers because we're the same age. And now, you know, I'm thinking of retirement and all that. And Ray just retired, so it was a. There's a little bit of emotion to the.
Omar Kelly
I guess I get ready to rip Chris Whittingham for his Panthers takes.
Jeremy
Wait a minute. Did you just break.
Greg Cody
Yes.
Jeremy
Here, hold on a second. Did you just. You're thinking about retirement?
Greg Cody
I've been thinking about retirement.
Omar Kelly
71.
Greg Cody
A couple of years and. Yeah.
Dan Le Batard
What's going on?
Greg Cody
Obviously, I haven't decided yet. I'm still doing it.
Zaslow
But, you know, a lot of people say once you're thinking about it.
Greg Cody
Yeah, that's true.
Zaslow
Might be time.
Greg Cody
You never know.
Dan Le Batard
There's also only one activity after retirement.
Greg Cody
Yeah, that's what Bobby Bowden said. Look what happened to him.
Mike Ryan
Yeah, he died.
Greg Cody
Yeah, I know.
Mike Ryan
No, don't retire.
Omar Kelly
Let's not trick the people, though. We're talking about retiring from writing. You're never giving up your podcast.
Greg Cody
Well, probably not. Probably not. My. I've mentioned before, my podcast is going to get the exclusive. Yeah. When I'm on my deathbed. Right. You're going to be interviewing me and.
Omar Kelly
You know, Yeti and I will continue it when he's gone.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Omar Kelly
And it will be the Greg Cody show with Greg or without. Actually.
Greg Cody
That would be good. Cody show without Greg. Cody, Greg.
Dan Le Batard
Have you ever thought, like some people think about going back to school and picking up a new trade, a new career? Have you ever given that any thought?
Greg Cody
No. Oh, no, I don't want to work that.
Omar Kelly
I wanted to be a bus driver as a kid.
Greg Cody
I did.
Jeremy
He wants to be a sanitary worker. He dreams. He thinks it's a dream job to be a sanitary worker.
Greg Cody
I also want to be an Timey FM dj. Spinning the records. Introducing the latest from the Doors.
Omar Kelly
Go ahead, take us.
Greg Cody
So you are okay?
Omar Kelly
Yeah. We're all going to close our eyes from the Doors.
Greg Cody
Yeah. No, I want to talk about this event tomorrow night, if that's okay. It's.
Jeremy
You're done promoting your other thing now? You're going to promote this thing?
Greg Cody
Well, I'm done promoting my pending retirement. Tomorrow night at Sports and Social in the Dolphin Mall. It's in Southwest Dade. If you all live down here, it's tomorrow night, Tuesday from 6 to 8pm Myself, Omar Kelly and Isaiah Smalls, dolphin riders, and Jordan McPherson, who covers the Hurricanes, are going to be there meeting people, talking about the Dolphins and the Canes and, boy, what a disparate conversation that'll be. But if you're in the area, swing by Have a couple of drinks, say howdy and we hope to see you.
Omar Kelly
There on the Greg Cody show. He encouraged people also to fly in if they'd like where I jumped in. And I was like, if you're local, this seems nice. Don't fly in for this.
Greg Cody
I know. I was sort of kidding. If you have.
Zaslow
But not all the way kidding.
Greg Cody
If you have all kind of money to spend and you got nothing better to do, I'd still wait. Take a private jet, land in sweet one.
Zaslow
Unlimited income.
Greg Cody
It over to the.
Zaslow
If someone has unlimited income.
Greg Cody
Yes.
Omar Kelly
It's still probably saving in fairness.
Dan Le Batard
I mean, right there is Miami International Airport. You just take the 836 over. People do it all the time to go to Dolphin Mall. Usually it's, you know, people from south Central America, they go, they buy a bunch of stuff and then they resell it and it's a quick trip. Right like that. Yeah. You probably even get a shuttle. So if you do want to see Greg, there is probably the opportunity. You fly into Miami International Airport, hop on a shuttle, head over the Dolphin Mall and they'll take you back, I think.
Zaslow
Okay, there. There's got to be someone who's willing to fly in. Like if someone were to fly in tomorrow night just yet, Greg, and ask a question or two about the dolphins.
Omar Kelly
Dan will pay for it.
Zaslow
Like there's got to be something we could do for that person.
Greg Cody
There you go.
Zaslow
Someone's got to be willing to fly in and see you.
Greg Cody
Okay, I'm going to make this deal. Oh, if you fly in, don't say this and you show me your plane ticket.
Zaslow
Go on.
Greg Cody
People never have plane tickets anymore. My phone lasts me. When I say, do you have the ticket? As we're going to the airport. Ticket, fly in, make yourself known. I will give you free of charge, a Greg Cody show sticker. It's a beautiful 4 by 4 inch sticker.
Mike Ryan
Wow.
Greg Cody
You can fix it.
Omar Kelly
We can see one there. We have it.
Jeremy
Make sure the flights from Japan aren't full. People are going to be coming all over the globe.
Dan Le Batard
Do you have a sticker, Dan? I don't have one of those stickers.
Greg Cody
So there you go making fun of.
Omar Kelly
There's one right there.
Greg Cody
You could just doesn't even have it. Oh yeah, this thing right here. You could have one of these.
Dan Le Batard
We got to get on a plane.
Greg Cody
Yes.
Omar Kelly
Even though we're about to change our logo.
Greg Cody
Well, that's a rumor.
Mike Ryan
Wow, there's just news everywhere.
Jeremy
There really is. Is it after he retires?
Dan Le Batard
Well, surely he can't be retiring if he's changing the logo.
Omar Kelly
Technically those logos will be worth more.
Greg Cody
No, once we say surely.
Jeremy
But it might be the Greg Cody show without Greg Cody soon. We've already established that.
Mike Ryan
Three huge news nuggets bombs. Greg is thinking about retiring from writing. He has a succession plan in place for his podcast and new logo. New logo?
Zaslow
Yeah.
Jeremy
And a big event and he's going to be appearing tomorrow night at Dolphin Mall and people are going to fly in. And if you fly in, you get a single sticker.
Greg Cody
Right. Plus I fired a Dolphins assistant coach. It's been a busy Monday for me.
Mike Ryan
Brady's announcement got nothing on you.
Greg Cody
There you go.
Omar Kelly
Did he announce he.
Mike Ryan
He was teasing it on Fox. He's like, before we let you go, you got a big announcement tomorrow. He's like, it's something that I've been working on for several years. I'm very excited to check out this Raiders game. I will be announcing something big.
Omar Kelly
Let's all guess.
Mike Ryan
I don't think he's coming back.
Jeremy
Did you guys know that he has a 10 part series on Apple? Tom Brady does. And the reason I asked the question is because Tom Brady won more than Michael Jordan and can't and won't be remembered the way Michael Jordan was. And I think most people don't even know that Tom Brady has sat down and done a 10 part series with Apple. Not unlike Michael Jordan's 10 part series.
Mike Ryan
I don't understand why he's not. I've already started correcting things by saying. I used to say, well, that person's a Michael Jordan, a blank. Now I say that person's a Tom Brady, a blank.
Jeremy
How has that not happened and why has that not happened? Because Mike seems to be out in front of things that will not catch on there.
Mike Ryan
He's got more things going on for him. Listen, he was drafted famously. Late round draft pick. He's handsome and he's white. I don't know how this hasn't happened yet.
Omar Kelly
He's boring like Michael Jordan.
Mike Ryan
He's less boring than Michael Jordan but.
Omar Kelly
He talked in a way that created a narrative. The retirement. Yeah, he's just a. You said it. He's just like a bland white guy.
Mike Ryan
And he won a lot. Excuse me. He talks way more than Michael Jordan. If your argument is that he is publicly boring. Michael Jordan is the Tom Brady of being publicly broken.
Omar Kelly
I don't mean that. I meant in the game like the way that that Michael Jordan had a lore built up around him in terms of the Trash talk that he dished out to other competitors in one on one in the Olympics. All these things. I mean like, are you insane? What did we have from Brady until he was with the Buccaneers?
Mike Ryan
Tom Brady would talk so much shit on the field. Crazy this is.
Omar Kelly
But then would shy away from it.
Mike Ryan
What was shy away from it? What? We disagree.
Omar Kelly
I feel like Mike, I'm kind of with Jeremy. Maybe Brady's been interesting the last couple years. Like during his career he was not boring.
Greg Cody
He's not interesting now. He's not interesting on the air.
Omar Kelly
Talks more now than he did.
Dan Le Batard
But Michael Jordan doesn't. He's like mythical because you don't really get him anywhere.
Greg Cody
Right.
Dan Le Batard
So like you could just make Michael Jordan whatever you want Michael Jordan to be. Because Michael Jordan be anything else.
Omar Kelly
It's the shoe.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah, it's a big thing too.
Greg Cody
It's a logo. It's the shoe. Nike. Yeah.

Dan Le Batard
I know, but it was so cold in my hand.
Mike Ryan
We took that first sip. It was crisp. It was refreshing. Oh man, there is nothing like cracking open a Miller Light with your crew and your inner circle bones.
Dan Le Batard
Hell yeah, we fist bumped.
Mike Ryan
Whether it's we we actually really did. Whether it's that touchdown didn't make a.
Dan Le Batard
Sound, but I just thought bam, boom.
Mike Ryan
Whether it's that touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups. You and I did plenty of that. Miller Lite has been the taste that you can depend on for 50 years. Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes and that iconic golden color. And here's a kicker.

When we're watching sports these days and someone is becoming better than everyone else, the way that you're watching Malik Neighbors be at wide receiver with limitations at quarterback. That game yesterday between the Cowboys and Giants was magical. It's not what I was expecting in any way. Brian Daboll went late in the game platooning quarterbacks on what was the best statistical game of Russell Wilson's life, At least in part because he has neighbors. Neighbors was double covered on one play. Know how they scored that touchdown? It was his second least impressive touchdown of the day because of the catch that he made earlier. How is it that the giants have only one legitimate weapon and he's got more catches through 20 games than just about anyone who's played the position. How is someone so good at wide receiver that he plays on a bad offensive team and we're still all looking at him and saying, oh yeah, that guy might be the best receiver in the entire sport. Totally unguardable. Even though his offense always stinks like his, his quarterback play. He's not one of the best receivers any of us have ever seen. Has gotten bad quarterback play the entire of his career and through 20 games has more catches than just about anyone's ever had through 20 games.
Omar Kelly
Russell Wilson has looked washed for so long that everybody's been clamoring for Jackson Dart. But Yesterday, after the 48 yard touchdown to Malik Nabors, which was his third deep passing touchdown of the game, this is per next gen stat, he completed 7 of 9 deep passes in the game for 264 yards. Most deep passing yards in a game that they've ever tracked. And it's in large part because Malik Neighbors is unguardable.
Zaslow
Right. Like that doesn't mean that Russell Wilson, you know, I mean it sounds weird to say but it's, it doesn't necessarily mean Russell Wilson had a good game. Yes. No, he can throw, he can still throw the ball to you.
Mike Ryan
I've mistaken overtime.
Zaslow
Right. He tried it one too many times and it led to the turnover that led to the game winning kick. But he's throwing it deep to a guy who is going to win those 50, 50 battles. Like Russell Wilson kind of stinks, but he could still throw the ball deep and he's got a really good receiver.
Mike Ryan
Not since Josh Gordon I think do we all concede like this is a dominant force at wide receiver with a quarterback that's closer to ass than elite.
Greg Cody
I also think it's because Malik Neighbors is disproportionately their big star in terms of targets. They don't have a great running back. Their second receiver is not great. He's a one man show second receiver.
Dan Le Batard
At 140 yards receiving yesterday.
Greg Cody
Well, okay, that's fair.
Mike Ryan
He was at the Dolphin game and it was the first time that he's had to worry about Cowboys, Giants occupying that tv.
Zaslow
And he's got retirement on his mind too. Like there's a lot going on.
Greg Cody
Well, yeah, that's true. But would you agree that Malik Neighbors is by far their number one target? Yeah, easy.
Mike Ryan
That dude strolled in the NFL and he was already like a top ten gifted wide receiver.
Jeremy
But it's still crazy no matter the amount of targets. Like, this is not. This is an unusual thing you're witnessing. And it's something that's special even compared to people who are special. I can target anybody in that Chiefs game with Patrick Mahomes and I wouldn't have gotten shit like the idea that this guy with those limits on offense is putting up production numbers in his first 20 games that are completely unheard of. And specifically what I saw from him yesterday, where you're not supposed to be able to complete the deep ball to somebody who the defense is double covering him because they keep getting beat on the deep ball and he still completes it when he's not open.
Zaslow
And he's only 6ft, by the way. It's only 6, 3, 6, 4, 6ft.
Mike Ryan
Out of all the colleges that say, we're linebacker you, we're tight end you, no one touches LSU when it comes to wide receivers. The defensive, just the three best. Arguably it's absurd in the NFL right now. All played very recently.
Jeremy
This is why Brian Kelly so mad at reporters, because he's winning games on defense like this. This is the reason Brian Kelly doesn't want to be winning games with defense. He doesn't want to be winning 20 to 10. He wants to be winning because his wide receivers are better than everybody else. Nobody associates Brian Kelly with defense.
Mike Ryan
What do you want me to tell you?
Jeremy
Play the sound again of McDaniel and what his whole soundtrack is going to be the entirety of this week as Greg Cody answ questions at Dolphin Mall from people who fly in for stickers to ask him whether this is a historically bad team that the Dolphins have.
Omar Kelly
Ultimately, I look at absolutely everything falling on me. So I don't see, you know, that's the responsibility of a head coach that you go into knowing that. That being said, I'm very frustrated with, you know, collective, you know, there's a. Some basically coaches and players that did not execute communication in a very dire period of the game. With the game on the line, our communication and our substitution was not up to par. And ultimately that, that is my, you know, I hold all responsibility for all things.
Jeremy
A lot of words. I didn't need all those words. I just needed that one sentence that he uttered. It's like me that the entire world is falling in on his head and everywhere he looks, there are just things falling.
Omar Kelly
Ultimately, I look at absolutely everything falling on me.
Greg Cody
See, McDaniel had the right to have the Brian Kelly attitude, right? He's under so much pressure. He should have been the one going, what do you mean by that? Why are you asking that question? But yet he's fairly kind.
Jeremy
Even in humiliation, it is a humiliating time. There's no disputing that, is there?
Greg Cody
Right. I agree. No, it's, it's, there's no equivocating it. It's. It's an awful two games.
Jeremy
You know, you know the Carolina season's over. You know the Saints season is over. You know the Bengals season is over. Even though some of you are going to try and talk yourself into them being a playoff team. And I think we know the Dolphins season is over. We can't say this about many teams today, can we? Because we're not saying it about the Chiefs.
Mike Ryan
Brown season's over.
Jeremy
Brown season's over. Jets season's over. Who else do you have say that?
Mike Ryan
Carolina has an outside shot so they have to host a home game and, and in their division. That is usually weird. And they. Tennessee, they showed some grit.
Zaslow
No, but Tennessee season is not over.
Omar Kelly
Just because it's interesting.
Zaslow
Yeah. You're interested in every game Cam Ward's playing. Their season's not never going to be over.
Greg Cody
What?
Jeremy
Yeah, it's going to be.
Dan Le Batard
Well, it will be over at some point in time.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Jeremy
After 17 games, it's going to be over.
Greg Cody
I'm. I'm a little. Getting a little tired of all the adulation for Cam Ward, whose statistics through two games are abysmal. Now. I'm saying you can't just go by stat, watch the game. Okay.
Mike Ryan
He doesn't, he's not. He doesn't got a lot to work with right now.
Greg Cody
I know they're a terrible team. That's why I'm saying when you're talking about they're going to be worth watching. Well, yeah, you just.
Jeremy
You saw one play yesterday, though, that I didn't think he'd be able to ever do in the pros. I thought that that was just a college play and we'd only ever see that as a college play. The one touchdown that Tennessee scored yesterday, I think that was also. Was that not on fourth down. He's just scrambling around, looping all over the place and doing something no quarterback in the league would have done. Nobody would have thrown it across their body like that.
Mike Ryan
He also doesn't get away with it often in the strip sack. That. That led to that game totally being over and over. It catches up to him. There's a reason why they say don't do it now. He just gets away with it more than other People because he doesn't stop trying it. But the, like, he threw across his body at Cal and it put Miami in a 21 point hole.
Zaslow
Getting, getting to watch on a weekly basis. Your number one overall pick at quarterback who is supposed to be your franchise savior. Like, like no matter how bad the team's record is overall. That's an exciting process for a fan base.
Greg Cody
Yeah. Yeah. It's also exciting because you don't know what you're going to get. He's reckless as he was at um and I'm not sure if that's going to fly as much for as long in the NFL. And I, and I think if you're a Titans fan, you're. You're loving some of his plays, but you're also sort of shaking your head going, wow, that's. That's not a safe quarterback. That's. That's not a guy who we can really trust to, to not F up.
Omar Kelly
But Dolphin fans should be watching TUA and feeling confident.
Greg Cody
I didn't say that.
Dan Le Batard
I mean, didn't say that.
Jeremy
Can we rank LSU receivers, please? Jamar Chase is where on this list? Where's Odell Beckham on it? Neither one of them is number one.
Zaslow
Right.
Mike Ryan
Where's Justin Jefferson?
Jeremy
Where's Brian Thomas on it?
Omar Kelly
I mean, just since 2020. Brian Thomas is the fourth best receiver to come out of LSU because you have Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson and Malik Nabors all ahead of him.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Omar Kelly
And you can rank those however you want.
Zaslow
Beckham's fourth.
Jeremy
Beckham started like neighbors did, first 20 games and then got hurt. And I'm, I'm going to reject what you guys are saying on him, saying, well, he's targeted a lot. That kind of offense and that kind of production usually requires a good quarterback, good offensive line, another receiver, something. Something that. That kind of receiver. We're all looking at the Giants and are like, yep, Brian Dabel is going to be fired. He's going to get fired. That's not going to last very much longer over there. But we know they've got a bona fide receiver and now they're trying to do the thing that everybody in the league wants to do, which is. Is Jackson Dart a franchise quarterback? Because it's not going to be Russell Wilson. But when you can do that on the road with a wide receiver, I don't care how bad Dallas's defense is. Russell Wilson, that's the. Russell Wilson has never thrown for that many passing yards. And the reason that he was able to do it is because the Dallas Cowboys simply had no answers for what I believe is the best receiver to ever come out of lsu. Like, and I can't believe I'm saying that. I just can't believe I'm saying that when he's had no help like I he Saquon Barkley. Look at what Saquon Barkley looked like when he was with the Giants. He has no help for him to go into Dallas on a 1 o' clock game, which Dallas and New York haven't played in 20 years, and put on that performance when Dallas only has to stop him. Oh, it's only him and can't.
Zaslow
Look, Malik Neighbors gets almost all of the credit. All right. But when Dallas does, like when Russell Wilson never has even close to that game again this season, we could admit Dallas's defense is horrendous.
Jeremy
Yes. But still they were double. They were trying to double team somebody who was beating them deep in a league where everyone's throwing at nine yards. Mahomes can't throw at 10 yards anymore. Like he did it a couple of times yesterday and went 50, 50 on wide open deep thread.
Mike Ryan
I think the three best receivers in the league right now are LSU guys. Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Malik, Neighbors. And then like then you start talking CD Lamb. Then you talk. Even JSN in Seattle's like laying claim to that potentially. He can enter that conversation. For me, I'm on Ross St. Brown.
Greg Cody
Okay.
Mike Ryan
Like he's. But he's not top three. The top three guys are lsu.
Jeremy
Okay. St. Brown is okay.
Greg Cody
No, he's saying okay.
Omar Kelly
He should be in the conversation.
Mike Ryan
Yeah, he's in that conversation.
Zaslow
He was agreeing. Okay. Was there an agreement?
Greg Cody
Yeah. Second tier. He's no. Gout.
Dan Le Batard
Gout. We can agree.
Greg Cody
Yes. Thank you. Not as fast.
Jeremy
Why don't you tell people who Gout Goat is? I don't think his name is even Gout. Gout.
Zaslow
I had got once.
Greg Cody
Yeah, so did my science teacher in high school, Chauncey Swallows.
Dan Le Batard
Mr. Swallows.
Greg Cody
It's a. Okay. It's spelled as you'd think. G O U t g o u 2t. And I see this guy's name. I'm so fascinated by the name that I got to research it and it turns out Gaut. Gaut. You know the world Track and Field championships are going on in Tokyo. Gaut. Gaut is a 17 year old Australian sprinter, specially 200 meters. He's being phrased as the next Usain Bolt. He's going up against US champion Noah Lyles in the 200 meters in this world championships. And should he win, all of a sudden, he's going to be the big thing in all of track and field. He's gonna. You're gonna know Gout. Gout. You're gonna be talking about gout. Gout. You're gonna see signs for gout. Gout. Everybody on TV is gonna be talking about gout. Gout. I can't say gout. Gout too much.
Jeremy
The biggest name in track and field is gonna be named gout. Gout.
Greg Cody
That's correct. That's exactly what I'm implying and saying.
Dan Le Batard
You know what nobody tells you about being a new dad? It's not just the diapers and the wipes.
Omar Kelly
That's obvious.
Dan Le Batard
It's the hidden stuff, the baby swing after we already purchased the other baby swing, the bouncer, the pack n play, the 20 different bottles. Because apparently my kid hates every single one except the most expensive one, which.
Omar Kelly
Is the glass, by the way.
Dan Le Batard
Don't get me started on late food delivery orders. With my wife and me too tired to even look or cook or think about food, I'm staring at my bank account like, where did it all go? That's where Monarch money comes in. It's like a financial tool belt for everyone, not just dads.

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so was the relief from Ebglis. After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintained skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.
Omar Kelly
EBGLIS Lebricizumab, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglis. Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection searching for real relief.

Don LeBatard Baker Mayfield tearing up Tampa Bay 38 for 45 Stugats Shredom this is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.
Jeremy
Are they saying his name correctly? This is an Australian name and is. What's the backstory on this? That cannot be. Are we pronouncing that correctly? His first name and his last name are Gout. Gout.
Greg Cody
Right. We are pronouncing it correctly. His heritage is Sudan. His parents are from South Sudan and apparently the the, the family name was was pronounced a little bit differently, but it sounded similar. And so they began calling him Gout Gout because Americans know that word. And his dad's worried that he's going to be mistaken for the the illness, the ailment. Gout.
Zaslow
But at any rate, rich man's disease.
Greg Cody
Yeah, but there's no doubt, doubt that gout gout is going to be the next big thing in track and field.
Dan Le Batard
Is it a rich man's disease?
Zaslow
Yeah, it's a king's disease because it comes from eating so much meat and drinking a lot of liquor. And when you were a king, you could have all the meat you want and all the liquor you want.
Jeremy
That's why I got opulence. Is that why you got gout? That's an old person. It put it on the poll at Lebatard showed. Is gout an old person's disease also? Are you surprised at all that Zaz had gout?
Zaslow
Rich man's disease.
Dan Le Batard
Had that in the manor.
Omar Kelly
I have them saying his name.
Zaslow
I live in a mansion.
Omar Kelly
You guys want to hear how they.
Mike Ryan
There is gout.
Greg Cody
Gout.
Mike Ryan
Quite a sensation, this young man in Australia.
Greg Cody
No doubt.
Jeremy
Look at how pleased. Yes, he's very fast.
Greg Cody
200 meters. Can you imagine?
Jeremy
Speaking of flying, did Zaslow fly first class again?
Zaslow
Oh, I did not fly first class this weekend.
Jeremy
What happened?
Zaslow
It wasn't available.
Jeremy
How about, sweet, did you get a suite on the road?
Zaslow
I did, but we were not. I. I had a suite, but we were not in a great hotel this weekend. So. Yes, I had a suite, but it's like. Yeah, when I.
Greg Cody
Good.
Dan Le Batard
But what do you do this weekend? Because this weekend are you here?
Zaslow
Yeah.
Dan Le Batard
So what do you. You say, hey, you're not. You're not cheaping me that sweet daddy's still getting a suite.
Zaslow
No, I don't want it. I don't want to stay in a hotel.
Dan Le Batard
Why not, Sweet?
Zaslow
Because I live in a mansion.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah, but who knows what you can do with that suite, you know?
Zaslow
What does that mean? I could sleep in it? Well, when I have a party.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah, you can.
Zaslow
I mean, party. My mansion. I'm gonna stay home. We have Miami, Florida, this week, so I don't have to travel. And I'm really excited about that. We're gonna be doing the show from inside the parking lot at the stadium, and. Yeah, this home game for me. That's right. They're all coming to me. I stay here. You come to me.
Jeremy
No flying.
Greg Cody
No.
Jeremy
You like to fly.
Zaslow
I like to fly first class, especially. But no, I did not fly first class this week. It wasn't available.
Dan Le Batard
Would you, if it was made available to you? They say, you know what, Zaz? We could fly you to Atlanta, back to Miami, first class.
Zaslow
What if I fly from Fort Lauren to Miami?
Dan Le Batard
Okay, first class. Would you do the flight just to have that first class experience?
Zaslow
No, because I'm not a stupid idiot.
Mike Ryan
As a famous. As a famous Santa Fe grad, you have a lot of friends from that Gainesville area. Anybody coming over again?
Zaslow
I've never been to Santa Fe, and, yes, I do have a lot of friends who are going to the game. It's very, very exciting. I want everyone to come and watch me and Amber Wilson do the show Saturday from inside the stadium. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Jeremy
Okay, enough promoting of your local Things. Were there any interesting things that happened on your flight? Because you're always returning with details.
Zaslow
Listen to this, okay? Listen to this. Tell me if I'm weird, all right? Or if anyone else agrees.
Mike Ryan
Confirming.
Zaslow
All right. Can you at least let me say the scenario? So I'm not sitting first class. All right?
Greg Cody
That's.
Zaslow
Let me put that out there. I'm not sitting first class among the peasants. I'm with the. I'm with the normals. I'm on my way to Knoxville on Friday. Okay. And a couple times in the flight, it's pretty stank. And, like, it's. It's Greg. It smells like someone took a shit on my upper lip. All right? Like, there's something going on.
Omar Kelly
Very vivid.
Zaslow
Yeah. And this happening several times on the third time, and then it's a fourth time. The woman next to me, she's, like, getting upset about the smell. I don't complain. I'm not a complainer.
Omar Kelly
I'm just like, oh, she thought you farted.
Dan Le Batard
Where do people normally shit on you?
Zaslow
So she's up. She smells terrible.
Omar Kelly
She for sure thought you farted.
Zaslow
I hope not. That's very embarrassing. All right? And then. And, like, I'm. I don't know. Like, it's. It's obviously an offensive smell. I don't like the smell. It's gross to think that there are people farting around me. It's very disgusting.
Greg Cody
So finally, you put your shoes back.
Zaslow
On, and then in. Across the aisle in my row, there's.
Omar Kelly
A guy looking up, whistling.
Zaslow
There's a service dog.
Greg Cody
Oh, no.
Zaslow
And so the guy looks over. Now, the dog did. Did not take a dump on the plane. But the guy looks over, he leans over, goes, I'm really sorry. My dog's been farting.
Greg Cody
What?
Zaslow
Okay, so the thing. I'm like, oh, wow. You know, and so the thing is. Thing that's weird is, like, I found the whole thing, like, offensive that, like, a person is farting this many times on the plane, but once the guy admitted that it's his dog, it's like, I didn't mind it anymore. It wasn't that bad.
Omar Kelly
Believe him.
Zaslow
Oh, 100%.
Omar Kelly
He knows his dog smell. Like, what's happening there?
Zaslow
He knows his dog gets nervous flying.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Dan Le Batard
No, it's happening. The guy's farting.
Greg Cody
Yeah. You know your dog.
Zaslow
You think it was the guy farting?
Dan Le Batard
I think the guy's definitely farting and blaming his dog.
Omar Kelly
Can't be so sure. Your dog farted four times.
Zaslow
Like, this smell was so bad, it's so disgusting. But when. When I. When I learned that it was the dog, like, I. I didn't mind it anymore. I was like, oh, okay. Cute dog.
Greg Cody
No, I can. I can relate. When. When Jumping Charlie breaks wind, he breaks glass. I mean, it's.
Jeremy
It's.
Greg Cody
It's a pungent, identifiable owner.
Zaslow
It was bad.
Greg Cody
Yeah. No, it's. Yeah, it is. I mean, dogs, man, they can do it. They. They got stuff in them that comes out and it's.
Omar Kelly
Go on.
Greg Cody
No, it's.
Mike Ryan
It's.
Zaslow
That's my gimmick.
Greg Cody
It's as bad as a human fart. That's my experience now. The cats, not so much. I've never smelled my cat.
Jeremy
Put it on the pole at Lebatard show. Have you ever smelled a cat's fart? Put it on the pole at Lebatard show. Have you ever blamed your farts on the dog and put it on the pole at lebitage show? Do you know the smell of your dog's fart?
Dan Le Batard
So Charlie can let a pet is what you're saying?
Greg Cody
Yeah, he definitely can let a pet. And yes, I used to blame my dog back when I farted.
Jeremy
I saw.
Greg Cody
Stopped farting.
Jeremy
Do you get.
Greg Cody
You did? Yeah.
Dan Le Batard
You retired from farting?
Greg Cody
I'm a recovered fartaholic.
Jeremy
Really?
Greg Cody
Yeah. Earlene Will, my wife, will tell you that I used to fart routinely. I stopped. And. And that's really one of the things that I'm the most proud of.
Dan Le Batard
What helped were you, like, was like an addiction. Like, did you go to treatment for it, or you just said, today's the day.
Omar Kelly
Give all the farters out there advice.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Jeremy
You know, it's a matter of will. You're saying it's a matter of will and that you're proud crowd of overcoming something that you're saying is a choice.
Zaslow
Would you go to meetings, be like, I'm Greg Cody, I'm a farhawk?
Greg Cody
No, if they had those, I would have. But I've given up two things in my life. I've given up farting and cigars. Beer? Not so much. Not yet.
Jeremy
But you're proud. You're proud. What happened? What did you change? I don't think this is a matter of will. And I don't think most people can give up farting. It's not like Lent.
Greg Cody
Okay. I used to do it, you know, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't do it in a restaurant or on an airplane. But if I'm home in the privacy of my own home, it's Just the wife and I watching tv. I might give it a fart, you know. And she's like, what was that? Quit that. What?
Zaslow
She wouldn't know what it was.
Greg Cody
Oh, she would know, of course. But you know, she's being polite saying, what is that?
Omar Kelly
Mom ever fart?
Greg Cody
They don't admit it when they do. The women.
Dan Le Batard
They.
Greg Cody
Yeah, yeah, my wife does. Yeah. Really?
Omar Kelly
My wife sometimes farts when she laughs.
Jeremy
I don't think you can. Yeah, I'll make it all right.
Greg Cody
I regret saying women don't admit it.
Dan Le Batard
If anything, I would say you're saying women are unequal playing field as men. They fart as well.
Greg Cody
That's what Christopher says.
Omar Kelly
My wife farts.
Jeremy
What he was saying is that as a gender, the entirety of the gender does not admit it. It's an absolute that I'm not comfortable with. I want to ask no more questions, no more follows about anything that we're talking about.
Omar Kelly
I have a Chauncey swallows follow up. Yeah, I'd like to know more about him.
Jeremy
The I do not have a high school teacher. Chauncey swallows. Mr. Swallows follow up. The follow up I do have from earlier in the show though is Greg Cody with all eternal sports celebrations at his disposal, said Jalen Waddle and his celebration is the greatest of all the celebrations in sports history.
Omar Kelly
Did have a moment. The Waddle pretty good one.
Jeremy
It lacks a certain amount of perspective when he's got 50 years of celebrations to choose from that he would choose the Jalen Waddle as the greatest of all the celebrations.
Greg Cody
When he got a touchdown pass yesterday and didn't do the waddle, I was so let down. I thought about writing my entire column about that.
Omar Kelly
But that would have been funny.
Jeremy
This is what has happened to the Dolphins. He knows better. With booing and banners flying in all over the stadium to do the waddle when he scored to make it 127 because New England's missed two extra points.
Omar Kelly
But then he had this celebration when Tyreek, you know, Tua throws a terrible ball. Like did you see Waddles reaction to that? He acted like. So, like that doesn't happen very often.
Zaslow
Because they all know that it's been a year since they've completed a 30 yard pass.
Greg Cody
Unbelievable.
Dan Le Batard
Did you hear the announcer when they complete like a 24 yard of like. Well, it wasn't 30 though. I know what you guys are thinking. Still not 30.
Jeremy
Tyreek Hill didn't like Omar Kelly's question about not having a 30 yard catch for a year. You can ask Omar Kelly about it. Tomorrow night at 30, Dolphin Mall with Greg Cody, who's going to be there answering all your dolphin questions.
Omar Kelly
I would say the saddest part of my dolphin experience yesterday was getting up. I was at someone's house, like, probably six or seven of us watching the game. I got up and gave everyone high fives. When we forced our first punt of the season in the second quarter. Third quarter, third quarter, apologies.
Dan Le Batard
That's good.
Greg Cody
And it was.
Omar Kelly
It felt sad because I was just genuine. We got a punt and just the high fives from around the room. A sad moment.
Greg Cody
Yeah. Pathetic almost.
Mike Ryan
That game was such a disaster, man, that was so bad. It seems as though they're gonna survive this, though. Usually around now, it's a short week.
Omar Kelly
Hear me out on this. If they are, because I am so done with them being middle of the road.
Greg Cody
If.
Omar Kelly
If you're just like, all right, if we're gonna be bad, let's be bad. Don't you. Don't you let everyone keep their jobs? Like, if they fire people, then there's a chance, like, someone comes in and sparks something like, they're bad right now. Let's let them ride this out. Like, I want the first pick. Keep McDaniel.
Jeremy
I'm not ready to do that show just yet. I am ready to ask Greg Cody the question. When the Dolphins did get their first stop. Going back to last season in. I think I have this number correctly. 3412 drives. Do you say in the press box punt when the punt was in the press box? Do you do your punt every time there's a punt?
Greg Cody
No, I did not. Yesterday. I think I have. You know, if I'm in a particularly bulient mood for some reason, I already know what I'm gonna write. It's half written in the third quarter. I might give it a punt. Punt. Yeah. Punt. Punt, punt, punt. Has to be a little air in it. Punt. Punt.
Jeremy
Because it sounds like a punt. It sounds like a football hitting the foot.
Greg Cody
Punt. Yeah. Punt.
Jeremy
The Dolphins made that happen twice this season.
Greg Cody
I know. Punt.
Jeremy
Greg Cody fired a special teams coach, and he only did it because the guy got in the way of the.
Omar Kelly
Column after they had a return.
Greg Cody
90 yard return. Ridiculous, inexcusable punt. There'll be plenty more punts this year. Don't. Don't. Don't worry about that.
Jeremy
You can't predict that confidently.
Zaslow
Yes, I can.
Jeremy
You couldn't have predicted before now they'd have two this season.
Mike Ryan
Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. It's football season. That means I'm going to be traveling to watch some quarterbacks I love in the NFL. I got my eyes on Tennessee. I got my eyes on Tampa.

Location: Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami
In this lively and irreverent episode, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and the regular crew tackle a mixed bag of sports and pop culture topics, focusing on football, boxing, and some absurdities of daily life. Special recurring characters “Chauncey Swallows” and “Gout Gout” make memorable appearances (in conversation), and the team covers current NFL and college football happenings, major sports personalities, and offbeat stories—culminating in Zaslow’s infamous in-flight “dog fart” story. The show, as always, balances sharp insights with humor, boasting banter that oscillates between expert analysis and outright silliness.
