Greg Cody
Before we go any further, because I
Chris Cody
don't want to be aggregated just doing the thing to Orlovsky that everyone does, which is there was that one play that one time that any of us would have run terrified out of the end zone on and it's an indictment of his credibility. It is a tribute to his work ethic and he is maniacal and his information that he has climbed to the top of this particular business, which is easier than the one that he did before because he's really good.
Greg Cody
And so when he says all of a sudden in Hot Take Land, Amendoza, the number one pick, hey this guy over here is better. And then you tell me their agencies are together and you also tell me that the information age is totally polluted on matters of credibility. I'm genuinely asking all of you what's fair critique here when somebody who's got when the person who's got the take is compromised, even though in perhaps this instance he really believes it and it's not a compromise, but he's giving you a take. No one else is giving you about 190 pound quarterback and is also represented by the same agency. What's conflict there on information and what's not?
Roy
Well, I think we got to look at Orlowski's track record. He's been a guy who's, you know, he doesn't typically go for hot takes. Right. So. And this isn't a, a a I think a feathers width between. Right. If. If you're on the fence between two picks and you go with the guy that's repped by the same agency, that's way more likely than I'm going to go out on a limb on something I don't.
Mike Ryan
Simpson.
Greg Cody
Simpson probably wouldn't be the number two pick in the last 10 drafts before
Chris Cody
this one, but it's.
Roy
He's in this draft. That's the only point that matters.
Jeremy
I think if you're an NFL team, you're doing who needs a quarterback. You're doing so much due diligence that it really doesn't matter to you what even a respected analyst is.
Greg Cody
But you guys are saying though that the information is. Can be possibly polluted enough that Orlofsky is doing sales on something subjective on television. On behalf of a. Of a teammate. On behalf of a teammate.
Roy
I think you are exaggerating it again. I think if you're on the fence between two things, then I think maybe, yeah, maybe you lean towards your guy, quote, unquote. And by the way, just having this being repped by the same agency doesn't necessarily mean I love my agent and everyone he represents.
Mike Ryan
Right.
Greg Cody
Lean on or no one else is saying this.
Roy
But see, that's my point. Because it's such a stark take. We're not like on the fence between two prospects. It's such a stark take. Then I have to believe that Dan Orlofsky truly believes it and isn't doing lip service because that's not what his track record has been throughout his career.
Sports Analyst Mike
It's kind of like when Mel Kuyper Jr. Would not let go that he believes Jimmy Clausen was the best quarterback in that draft and it ended up being a huge embarrassment for him. We'll see how this one plays out. No one else in media is saying Ty Simpson is the best quarterback in this draft. They're not really held in direct comparison. So I just threw it out there that this is something that the Internet is talking about when it comes to Dan Orlovsky. I do think that Dan Orlofsky has a ton of integrity, though.
Jeremy
I think so too. And he's perfectly titled to his opinion on Simpson. However, I do think a guy like Orlowski is obliged to say now, full transparency. We have the same agent. But I would like.
Chris Cody
Does he.
Greg Cody
Should he.
Chris Cody
I don't know.
Greg Cody
Okay, but wait a minute.
Chris Cody
You're.
Brad Williams
No, I don't think he needs it.
Sports Analyst Mike
No, I don't think he needs to do it.
Jeremy
I think it would be nice.
Sports Analyst Mike
I think this is related to the conversation that we were having about Schefter last week. And in the information age where these news breaking personalities are also represented by these agencies that represent the athletes, they cover their data points and you as a consumer has to be informed about some of that stuff. Or you can just go on the whims of your mobile alerts and live life delightfully.
Roy
I think there's also a difference, Mike, between analyst and newsbreaker. Newsbreaker for sure. There are all sorts of conflicts of interest and things like that that may be playing a role, particularly when they. Because in theory it's supposed to be just a factual thing, so and so signed. So I'll give you a great example. Cam Thomas got waived by the. By the Bucks. But when you read Sham Charania tweet about it, it's not just he was released by the Bucks. It's like all this stuff that makes you understand this information is coming from someone who clearly likes Cam Thomas a lot and feels like he didn't get a fair shake in Milwaukee, it's not coming from the Bucks. So that's the stuff to me where it's a lot more important. When you talk about analysis, these are people's opinions and they are less likely to be influenced by things like that, I think, than they are than someone who is a news reporter.
Sports Analyst Mike
I agree. And the show that he contributes the most to, get up, it's framed as like have a take, defend it, do something provocative with it. I'm a fan of when analysts, an analyst, not necessarily the newsbreakers, put their names to this stuff. I remember when Ron Jaworski was saying Colin Kaepernick is going to be one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. He for his own, for his own channel, provided, you know, weeks worth of content and draft buildup. That's a part of this too.
Brad Williams
I think the fact that they're repped by the same agency and he's coming out and saying this, I think it gives more credit to what he's saying, to how strongly he believes this opinion because he can't be dumb enough to not think that people out there are going to try and connect dots. Obviously it's transparent enough that dots are going to be connected. But you know what? I don't care because I really do feel this way. So I'm going to say it anyway. I think it means that he feels even strongly stronger about the opinion.
Jeremy
I don't disagree. But I think that credibility is enhanced if he's out front with it rather than have it reported as if he's trying to hide something.
Greg Cody
Just you want him to say every time he's got a Ty Simpson opinion and full disclosure, I'm represented by the same agency.
Jeremy
That would just be a weird first time.
Siegfried
It'd be a weird thing to hear on.
Greg Cody
Like I don't know how people found that out. I don't know if he has done it one time. I don't think what Greg Cody is suggesting here is correct. But I do find all of this, all of this fascinating because everyone's at the trough every day looking for the different thing to say. There are trolls and people who want clicks and all over the place. He's not one of them. He's got the power. He's climbed to the top of the business and he's done it by doing his homework. He's meticulous about studying film. I know some people who do this well. Chris Sims will speak very highly of Malik Willis. He's breaking down all the film. Very few people are doing that. Arlovsky is one of them. He has outworked people to get where he is. But his opinion here is different from everyone else measuring quarterbacks. And he's not a click monster. He doesn't care about that. That opinion is damning for all time because he's saluting a quarterback who'd be the worst taken in the first round in 10 years.
Sports Analyst Mike
When you say daming for all time, it could be viewed as an exaggeration. But look, I remember these takes. I just cited Mel Kuiper and Ron Jaworski from the top of my but
Greg Cody
how could those words not help him climb in the draft with one GM who knows all of knows Orlovsky is good at his job and is saying this person, this person thinks he's a scout.
Sports Analyst Mike
I also wouldn't couch it as that negative of a thing. Again, just a data point. You draw your own conclusion. But there, there's a benefit to being in the same agency. You do get to know the other client a little bit better. You do have access to insight that other people wouldn't have on Ty Simpson because of it. Not everything is just spin and and a nefarious plot to dominate the news stream and become a daytime sports topic. I don't think that's what the seeds are here, but I do think it's interesting that you take it into account.
Brad Williams
Is it silly if I ask? Like, let's say he is doing it. He's. He's being so positive about Ty Simpson because they're in the same agency. Let's just entertain that for a second. What does Dan Orlovsky gain out of that? Like, if he doesn't do it, is his agent not going to work as hard?
Sports Analyst Mike
He's making provocative tv. It's good for.
Greg Cody
It's good for.
Brad Williams
Why is he supporting. Why is it because they're repped by the same agency? Why does that mean anything to Dan Orlovsky?
Sports Analyst Mike
I hear you. I think it should. It's one of those things that.
Brad Williams
Remember that time you didn't support my other client? I'm not going to work hard for you. That's going to happen.
Sports Analyst Mike
I think it matters. I think it matters a little bit more if this fails. And the next time he does something with perhaps a client that is also in his agency, that would be a reflection on him. I think things like this, being repped by the same agency really matters most when you have the coaching carousel, because that is absolutely manipulated by agents pumping names to insiders, getting them attention, and forcing them in these conversations where they wouldn't be candidates otherwise.
Jeremy
There's a huge difference to the agent. If Ty Simpson is drafted second overall versus 19th or 23rd, that's Danderlovsky's job. Huge difference.
Sports Analyst Mike
And one of the things that you need to consider too, both with the draft and with coaching carousels, is not just the newsmaker, not just the client, but also the general managers are also getting fed stuff because they're also repped by the same agents. So the agents are just kind of controlling this whole thing. Luckily, sports, for the most part, is a meritocracy and all these things come out in the wash. Hey, Roy, buddy.
Amino Hassan
Yo.
Sports Analyst Mike
You know that energy shift when the game gets good and everybody all together in unison knows to stand up on their feet?
Amino Hassan
Oh, absolutely.
Sports Analyst Mike
Mike. Yeah. You've been at many big time sporting events. You know that moment quite well. That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo.
Amino Hassan
Oh, delicious.
Sports Analyst Mike
It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal. It's when small talk turns into stories. Cuervo, man. It's that high five. A random stranger effect. That's right. The game is popping. You're hugging people you never met before. That's the kind of energy that Cuervo brings. It's so smooth, so delicious. That's the Cuervo effect. Keep it Cuervo.

Dan LeBatard
Don LeBatard is there.
Greg Cody
Back in my day.
Jeremy
There is actually.
Sports Analyst Mike
What were you not gonna tell anyone? Wait a minute, you guys. Guys, it's a Tuesday.
Dan LeBatard
Stugarts, here's your guy Greg Cody with Back in my day.
Jeremy
Okay, here it is. Sorry, adultery.
Sports Analyst Mike
Waiting for this one.
Dan LeBatard
This is the D? Levatar show with the stuff.
Roy
You guys haven't answered the question that would needed to be answered about 40 minutes ago. Which is is any is he an eagle or is he a turkey?
Chris Cody
Oh, I'm sorry Amin.
Greg Cody
You were gonna soar.
Siegfried
I didn't even hear the message.
Greg Cody
You were once an eagle and now
Mike Ryan
you're a turkey because you clipped your wing on you. Chad Henny, he was trying to give us a launchpad to a great new game show. Did you see how excited he was?
Roy
Was.
Mike Ryan
We have not seen that happen to A meme since American Ninja Warrior.
Roy
Hold on, hold on.
Greg Cody
No, that you were going to take flight and then you fell in the pool.
Chris Cody
That's what.
Mike Ryan
That's what just happened. You guys saw it on a game show.
Chris Cody
You were an eagle, my friend, and now you're a turkey.
Roy
I didn't know that swiveled, man. No one told me it swiveled.
Chris Cody
Is it still the most viewed video
Greg Cody
in the history of American Ninja Warrior?
Mike Ryan
Is it?
Roy
I don't think it was ever the most. It was one of the most.
Brad Williams
Like, how many you think it's at
Sports Analyst Mike
right now of all the videos that's among it?
Roy
No, no, no, no.
Greg Cody
It was number one for a while. What's number one for a while? Did it get topped by something else?
Roy
Probably some school mom or whatever.
Greg Cody
All right, well, Jeremy can look it up. Or Roy. Either one of you.
Roy (alternate)
I'm on it.
Greg Cody
Oh, that's not even it. Had you not seen the good one? Had you not seen it?
Mike Ryan
That isn't the good one.
Brad Williams
I know of it, but I don't think I seen it.
Greg Cody
Wait a minute, wait a minute. That's the second one. That's not the first one. That was the crappy sequel.
Roy
That was the Paul Pierce Michelle beetle Bet.
Siegfried
That is funny. That's a sequel, though.
Greg Cody
He just runs. Well, I. I don't think 10,000. We're going to play the Eagles and Turkeys game. I believe that that is right where Amin's career soared off into a ditch.
Roy
That was my. My zenith. I'm NBC execs coming up to me and be like, yo, we love you. And I'm like, what's happening here? And that's when I discovered. They said. They told me your video was one of the most viewed American Ninja Warrior videos ever. And that blew me away.
Chris Cody
But just one of Not.
Greg Cody
Not that crappy sequel either. Which you regretted doing right after the fact. You were trying to go to the same. Well, you're all wet like.
Roy
No, that one. I had $10,000 on the line. Paul Pierce and Michelle Beadle said they were gonna be me. 10,000. Well, 10,500. Michelle was gonna kick in $500, but Paul Pierce is gonna give me $10,000. And if you watch the beginning of that.
Siegfried
Cause you made it through the whole thing with their search.
Roy
Just that first one. Literally right before I run like the Akbar and Matt Eisman are on the call and said, there's Michelle Beadle and Paul Pierce. They're here to support me. And they cut to me, and I'm Doing the money sign, because I'm looking at Paul and said, get ready to pay up. And so I start going, well, not this one, but I start going step by step. And I start thinking about what I'm going to spend this money on. Oh, my God, am I going to get a new car? What am I going to do with this money?
Greg Cody
You were that confident, Dan.
Roy
I was running perfectly on this thing. And then I suddenly. I remembered, oh, my God, wait a second.
Greg Cody
The rope.
Roy
And I didn't realize there was one more step. And so I jumped prematurely. I should have taken one more step and then jumped.
Mike Ryan
That's such a far jump.
Roy
I know, but I was. I panicked. I was thinking about money, man. I can't help it.
Chris Cody
All right, we're going to get a recreation of this because I don't even remember this. The sequel was so much worse than the first one.
Roy
The sequel was great. Money on the line.
Greg Cody
Okay, you got money on the line exiting the screen. No, but that's the original. I think you guys got it right that time. But that's from highly questionable. And I don't believe that.
Mike Ryan
That. Yeah, that's is. That's the first one.
Roy
That's the. That's the one where it's. It's swivel. See, look at it. It swivels.
Jeremy
Pause.
Roy
Don't laugh at me. No, that you the last person to laugh.
Siegfried
Exit scene.
Roy
No, you couldn't even play hockey. You got winded just standing there.
Siegfried
I love how he just leaves the scene.
Mike Ryan
That's a T shirt. That's the Michael Jordan. It's the opposite of what. Mike, do you realize that T shirt right there, that T shirt is something@lebatardaf.com
Chris Cody
that should be a secret code between
Greg Cody
friends of the show who remember the most viewed. That right there should be an emblem.
Mike Ryan
I mean, for everything you're selling as the fallen executive who wanted to do the game show hosting of Turkey and
Greg Cody
Eagle and fell on his way just
Mike Ryan
like he did out of the screen
Greg Cody
there in trying to announce the game.
Mike Ryan
Do you want to play Turkey or Eagle?
Roy
Fuck this show, man.
Chris Cody
Okay, I guess not. We're not going to play Turkey or Eagle. Chris, Cody, Jeremy, can you give me some information or. Roy. I'm sorry, I'm continuing to get confused.
Roy (alternate)
Yeah, that's Siegfried. I'm Roy.
Chris Cody
Yeah, can you guys get me some information, please, on what Amin is claiming, which is whether that's the most viewed video in the history of that show?
Greg Cody
You saw that. Look, man, there's nothing better on television.
Chris Cody
Than that. People falling down.
Greg Cody
We can make television for the rest of time.
Chris Cody
I can replace human beings.
Greg Cody
People falling down, embarrassing themselves. You can watch that video for three straight hours or videos like it that comparable shame.
Chris Cody
And you can laugh at a mean,
Mike Ryan
easiest television that gets made.
Greg Cody
Amino Hassan, in that show's history. That show has a lot of falls. Hell, we did. You guys need to get Charlie Hume that if this one. If Charlie Hume were more famous. What happened to Charlie Hume on American Ninja Warrior would be the video that replaces Amin because of how he hit his balls on. On a. On a structure that was not meant for balls. Am I wrong? Do I have any drive if I say which is the better video?
Sports Analyst Mike
You have that right. It wasn't made for balls.
Greg Cody
Which is. Which is the funnier video, Amin or Charlie Hume? I think it was a difference of fame because people like Paul Pierce could laugh at former executive Amino Hassan embarrassing
Chris Cody
himself on the Ninja Warrior course.
Sports Analyst Mike
But it was also about the context of the confidence before Amin was talking so much shit as he does his.
Roy (alternate)
Speaking of. I have no proof that this is one of the most viewed videos and
Sports Analyst Mike
told you all the videos. That's certainly one of them.
Roy (alternate)
There's a whole bunch of them come up before this one.
Siegfried
I have the sound of Charlie, but it doesn't do it justice. Like we have the isolated when his. You know.
Greg Cody
Well, but.
Siegfried
So we're efforting for the video.
Mike Ryan
Did you ever.
Greg Cody
Did you get to. I'm sorry, Siegfried, did you ever get to this part of the obstacle course that Charlie Hume fell on? The second thing. Fell balls first, and then fell comedically, cartoonishly into the water? You.
Mike Ryan
If you.
Greg Cody
If you were somebody who was drawing a cartoon to be funny, this is how somebody would hit their balls against something. It would make a horrible sound, and then you just cling. Didn't he cling with. With his legs around the thing and
Mike Ryan
then get splashed into the water?
Greg Cody
It seemed terribly painful. It was a better and more embarrassing video than a means.
Amino Hassan
Yes, I got further than anyone, I believe.
Greg Cody
But did you get over that obstacle? The obstacle that Charlie got to was the second or the third obstacle. And I don't. I think that's a great degree of difficulty on that obstacle. And I don't think you got past the same obstacle.
Amino Hassan
No, I believe it was the same obstacle that I ended up failing on.
Greg Cody
So you. But you can speak to how hard
Chris Cody
it is to get over that particular obstacle.
Amino Hassan
Oh, yeah, it's absolutely difficult. Difficult to get over that one.
Chris Cody
Okay. They found.
Siegfried
We have it.
Chris Cody
They found The Charlie Hume video.
Greg Cody
I'm sorry. I know there are things going on.
Chris Cody
I'm sorry to the video staff for making them run around so much today, but.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Jeremy
Oh, my God. Yeah, that's the same one.
Amino Hassan
That's the same one.
Jeremy
Balls don't lie.
Greg Cody
So the crowd.
Chris Cody
You can hear the crowd. And the crowd will tell you what happened here. And then the splash.
Jeremy
Wow, that hurts.
Chris Cody
But the timing, the comedic timing perfection of.
Greg Cody
I want you to hear the echo
Mike Ryan
of my balls have been hit by a sharp object.
Greg Cody
Not a sharp object, but an object
Mike Ryan
that would make it through thud.
Greg Cody
With uncommon human hurt that both genders would understand. And then the splash.
Brad Williams
Was he hurt?
Mike Ryan
Yes.
Chris Cody
What kind of question is that?
Roy
What?
Mike Ryan
Are you shitting me? What human being ever, other than a genderless doll. Wait, what human being wouldn't be hurt doing that?
Greg Cody
The greatest ninja warrior videos, Jeremy, are what? There are other people falling more funny and violently than that?
Roy (alternate)
No, they're all successful. Also, I'm pretty sure that the most famous Louis of all time is black.
Chris Cody
That's a good callback.
Greg Cody
Greg Cody said during the break, I'm the most regular man in America.
Chris Cody
And also. And he's had an old show today
Greg Cody
also Harrum, like, out of the side of his mouth.
Chris Cody
Too many text chats.
Jeremy
Oh, my God. Group chats. They're out of control. If you're having a group chat about who poops the most, you get too much free time.
Chris Cody
Okay.
Greg Cody
But you're not offering any context to the audience at all on Everyone knows
Roy (alternate)
about the poop chat, Dan.
Jeremy
No, I don't want to reveal anybody else's bathroom habits.
Chris Cody
Greg, you came back into this room and you announced, I'm the most regular man in America. There was a conversation that had taken
Greg Cody
place that you were overhearing all the coffee.
Chris Cody
Well, but so.
Greg Cody
So you brought. You brought in here. I'm the most regular man in America. And what trailed behind you was Chris Cody saying that in one of his poop chats. A person that I think should remain anonymous for the moment.
Siegfried
I think we're good saying it.
Brad Williams
You could say it.
Greg Cody
Brad Williams.
Siegfried
Shit's a lot, dude. Okay, so he says, I got the numbers behind it.
Jeremy
83 numbers.
Siegfried
Literally 83 days in this year so far, he's pooped 121 times.
Jeremy
So this Greg, roughly 1.4, 1.5, 1.46.
Greg Cody
After hearing that, you came in here and announced, I'm the most regular man in America. Drawn into what was a text chat that reveals this information, because Amin and Mike And Brad Williams and Chris Cody. They're regularly disgusting and wanting to discuss this.
Siegfried
We're just friends wanting to make sure our friends are regular.
Jeremy
No, it's weird. And I don't brag about it.
Siegfried
You know, you did when you walked in the studio.
Jeremy
I had a private conversation with my friend and he betrayed the privacy of it.
Greg Cody
I'm the most regular man in America. You announced that you were striding with pride.
Jeremy
I announced it as an aside. Off the record.
Greg Cody
You said it wasn't that much. Is what. What you were really suggesting is that you were unimpressed by. That is too much. Brad Williams is going to the bathroom too much.
Mike Ryan
Please make that the episode description. Okay, Brad Williams. That is too much for a human being to be going to the bathroom. That is not regular. That's irregular. That is close to illness.
Siegfried
Now people are speculating. He could have, like, a smaller area to hold the poop, so he's maybe creating the same amount. Now we got a bunch of forcing it out more.
Chris Cody
Because now you're arguing.
Sports Analyst Mike
Low man wins on poop chat.
Mike Ryan
Great.
Chris Cody
Great. I think this is good.
Jeremy
Look, regularity is overrated.
Mike Ryan
And you said you're the most regular man in America.
Jeremy
Let me give you an example. I'm the kind of guy who can go on demand.
Siegfried
What number was that?
Jeremy
Number was what?
Siegfried
I'm the kind of guy.
Jeremy
Oh, that. Yeah, that's in there.
Siegfried
Okay.
Sports Analyst Mike
2.
Jeremy
That was in the top 50.

Yes, I'll take Kathleen Turner. Let's do it. Top five. Here we go. Ready? Greg Cody wants to do top five somethings. Wanted to do it while someone else was doing a top five. Got jealous of someone else's top five. Here they are. Greg Cody's top five. What? As Kathleen Turner.
Jeremy
Top five things that connote jury duty.
Chris Cody
All right, let's do it.
Greg Cody
Any Oli?
Jeremy
No.
Greg Cody
You're Kathleen Turner.
Jeremy
It's a mount Greg Moore, which is a top five. Not a top.
Greg Cody
What's a mount Greg Moore?
Jeremy
Mount Greg Moore is my Mount Rushmore is top four. The mount Greg Moore does it better by being top five.
Mike Ryan
Why is there a mount Greg four on the city? Greg Cody. Featuring Greg Cody, Self narcissistic.
Siegfried
The bracket challenge.
Jeremy
That's the bracket challenge. Greg we haven't even gotten to with. So you want these top five?
Siegfried
Yes.
Jeremy
Things that cannot juror duty. Number five, the famous movie Juriassic Park.
Mike Ryan
You're supposed to be Kathleen Turner.
Jeremy
I don't know how to do Cassie
Greg Cody
stepped on a bank.
Mike Ryan
Just do it.
Sports Analyst Mike
I can't believe you stepped on that. Just do your Biden.
Mike Ryan
Just do your bind, you know?
Jeremy
Number four, English actor Chris Jury. Number three, Aaron Judge. Number two, 1978 49ers defensive back Bob Jury. And number one, Jerry Seinfeld.
Brad Williams
Brutal.
Mike Ryan
I mean, right?
Chris Cody
Let's cover this for a second.
Mike Ryan
You're.
Greg Cody
Look,
Chris Cody
he judges you. He thinks he's a better journalist.
Mike Ryan
He thinks he's better.
Jeremy
I haven't said any of that.
Chris Cody
You don't think you're a better journalist?
Jeremy
Well, I do because I don't consider Zaz to be a journalist.
Mike Ryan
All right?
Greg Cody
You judged Zaz all the time.
Chris Cody
Your comedic judgment on that, it was astounding.
Jeremy
Thank you.
Siegfried
Wait till you hear mount Greg four.
Greg Cody
Well, why is mount Greg four different
Mike Ryan
than Mount Greg Moore, which is different than Mount Rushmore.
Greg Cody
Why are we doing this?
Siegfried
Explain it, dad.
Jeremy
Rushmore is four. Greg Moore is five.
Greg Cody
Why is there Greg four?
Jeremy
Because it's four brackets with five each. Right? So it's an amalgamation.
Siegfried
The Mount Greg four is four categories that are related to March Madness. Four categories. And in those, he gives his Mount Gregmore. So there's five things from each of those four, and then the fans will vote and the winner of the. Of each of those categories will face each other in a final four.
Jeremy
And we have. The vote is going on right now. So go to. Go to my show's social media and vote for the. The four polls. The great four poles.
Siegfried
Okay, what are the four topics?
Mike Ryan
Wait, we got to get him to stop talking for a second. Unless you want him to just flim out blowout. At the end of the show, you've got Chris.
Chris Cody
How much am I going to have to teach you about how to produce your father? Okay, there is nothing left in this tank except a little bit of how do I promote my podcast.
Mike Ryan
It's the only reason he's here. When I asked him before the show. What are you excited about? You haven't been here in a while.
Chris Cody
He's like my podcast Joe Biden now.
Mike Ryan
Greg Ford. I got some good stuff on the podcast. Wait, wait, wait.
Sports Analyst Mike
Siegfried. Make him Jimmy Durante.
Mike Ryan
Yeah. I'm doing a hot. Thank you, Roy. Thank you for Siegfried.
Chris Cody
Thank you.
Brad Williams
It's not Roy.
Mike Ryan
Siegfried. Thank you for understanding. You're welcome. Sorry that you weren't. I'm sorry about everything that happened there. The late Siegfried, Roy. Everything that happened there. Mauled by tiger. Who could have seen.
Sports Analyst Mike
That was crazy.
Brad Williams
They were lovers.
Amino Hassan
Wow, man.
Mike Ryan
Who could have seen it coming?
Siegfried
Tiger with an ass crack.
Chris Cody
I. Ethan would. Ethan wants to be on so much. He'd be happy to be the ass crack of a tiger.
Sports Analyst Mike
But it's funny because as bad as
Roy (alternate)
he wants to be on camera, he stayed underneath the desk the entire. The one time we just like, dude,
Siegfried
show us your tiger head.
Chris Cody
You and Ethan cannot be entrusted together to pull off careful. The Roy and tiger.
Roy (alternate)
You've already had those anti Semitism remarks around.
Mike Ryan
You know what the weakest link is?
Chris Cody
I'll tell you right now, the weakest link is Ethan. Is that his costume? Is he still in costume?
Mike Ryan
This.
Chris Cody
He's still just a terrible tiger. And the idea that I would see
Siegfried
your ass the opposite of Tony.
Chris Cody
Look, I just want everybody to see
Mike Ryan
what I get, okay? Because the ass crack is what I saw immediately after Chris had Thrown a bunch of papers in the air. And he done it because his father was terrible, as he has been. All show like legendarily bad in a way that Zaslo just looks at him and says, yeah, he thought that not only did he think the Biden was funny, he thought that was a good idea.
Brad Williams
I don't understand. Like when I was doing. When I was reenacting the Scarface scene, you then said, what is Zaslo doing?
Jeremy
Yeah.
Brad Williams
Were you paying attention?
Chris Cody
He hasn't seen Scarface and he wasn't listening to the show because he was only thinking about his podcast.
Jeremy
No, I haven't seen the show. Heard of it for sure.
Chris Cody
Our show. You think Scarface is a TV show?
Jeremy
No. I've heard of the movie Scarface.
Chris Cody
You've heard of Scarface but you don't know what. So you have no idea what. You have not seen scarface.
Sports Analyst Mike
Call it 32nd Greg Cody.
Jeremy
I don't know that I've seen the movie, if that's what you're talking about.
Chris Cody
I'm going to stay here for a second, Nancy Reagan, because no, not 32nd Greg Cody. We're gonna sink into the full of this. Even though Tiger woods is returning tonight, Even though there's plenty to talk about and this show has had way too much silly today, but he's derailed it at every turn. He's undercut me. He's not been good today.
Sports Analyst Mike
Sounds like Alex Jones on that podcast.
Chris Cody
Oh, my God. How drunk was he?
Sports Analyst Mike
We can't be for sure. We want to be responsible.
Chris Cody
No. Can we?
Sports Analyst Mike
Yes. Around Alex Jones, you have to be responsible. That might have been just him. That might have been a death rattle. Check on him.
Jeremy
Thank you, Craig.
Chris Cody
All you've had today is thank you and acceptance speeches because you think you've been exceptional today.
Jeremy
No, I never said that. Did I?
Sports Analyst Mike
Yeah, he knows.
Brad Williams
It's literally how the show started today, with him pointing and admiring himself.
Jeremy
I'm a normal human being. What are you talking about?
Greg Cody
You have arrived at such full blown
Chris Cody
narcissism that you came in here today first time. You've been here two times in the last month because you've been drinking too much on vacation. Cruising. You got sick from cruising.
Jeremy
That's an exaggeration.
Greg Cody
Yes or no?
Chris Cody
You got sick from cruising and had to go to the doctor. Yes or no?
Jeremy
No, I did not get sick from cruising.
Chris Cody
You came back from vacation, did one show and went straight to the doctor.
Jeremy
That's true.
Chris Cody
Because you came back from vacation, did one show.
Jeremy
I had an acute Respiratory infection while here.
Chris Cody
Because laughing makes you cough.
Jeremy
Maybe a contributing factor.
Chris Cody
So we are killing you.
Jeremy
Yes. Especially right now.
Mike Ryan
You've been killing us all.
Jeremy
Okay, you're welcome.
Roy (alternate)
In Greg's defense, we got Boco right on.
Jeremy
Yes. Thank you. Nobody says that to Dusty May but me.
Roy (alternate)
We also learned that Mount Rushmore is four. Greg Moore is five. Greg, four is four. Things with five in it. Roy is Siegfried and Jeremy is Roy.
Jeremy
A lot going on today.
Brad Williams
Never seen Scarface.
Sports Analyst Mike
Amin left.
Jeremy
I don't think so.
Chris Cody
We got to get turkey or Eagle tomorrow. We got to play the game show either off air or on air. We got to play turkey or he wants to play. I mean, wants to play the game.
Roy (alternate)
Don't forget Jury Seinfeld.
Chris Cody
That was terrible.
Jeremy
I thought Jury Seinfeld was funny.
Chris Cody
I thought you were going to go at least Jury Judy. To make like a pun on Jury Judy.
Greg Cody
You had two juries. It was a terrible list.
Jeremy
How did you think that a more famous jury than Seinfeld? Unless it's Rice in the NFL.
Mike Ryan
Greg Zaslow.
Greg Cody
That's never happened. It is never in our show's history
Mike Ryan
happen where somebody does a bit with
Greg Cody
his judgment and the person right across from him just says out loud, can't
Mike Ryan
even keep it to himself.
Greg Cody
That was terrible.
Jeremy
Jealous.
Roy (alternate)
You might not have been here for the day. I did that Schitt's Creek thing with Katie Nolan that.
Chris Cody
No, you were.
Greg Cody
Your standard is so much higher than Greg's here.
Chris Cody
No.
Mike Ryan
Yes.
Chris Cody
That was brutal.
Greg Cody
For sure.
Roy (alternate)
Worst I've ever felt. And I felt real bad around here.
Mike Ryan
Look at what I just did with Dusty on radio Row.
Siegfried
Katie just sitting there listening.
Jeremy
Jury west,
Chris Cody
He's told you how terrible it is.
Greg Cody
Like it says, that's borderline cruel, is
Chris Cody
it not to tell a teammate out loud.
Greg Cody
Like, have you done a lot of that in your radio career where you just looked at your partner, somebody you're working with every day, and he's on
Mike Ryan
an island making jokes.
Jeremy
Jerry Jones.
Chris Cody
And you just couldn't even help yourself.
Greg Cody
You blurted, that's terrible.
Brad Williams
I don't think I've ever been so blatantly disrespectful to a teammate.
Jeremy
Jerry Springer.
Brad Williams
Brutal.
Jeremy
Tom and Jury,
Chris Cody
if this property isn't for you. South Beach Sessions is undergoing a refurbishing. And Mike Ryan and Chris Cody want to pitch me on something for South Beach Sessions.
Sports Analyst Mike
Dan, on the heels of the smashing success of your Diplo interview and Diplo near or at the very top of his industry, we realized that this is a platform worthy of People that are the best at their craft. So we have a sincere pitch for you. Hear us out. Manu. Yeah, we want you to interview Manu for South Beach Sessions. He's the world's greatest backorder. He has the emotion of a stone. Right. You're not gonna get anything out of him, but I think if you play it straight, it could be both funny and engaging.
Greg Cody
He'll call you boss.
Jeremy
What a draw.
Greg Cody
And what do I get in return
Chris Cody
for some would say mocking the platform that I treasure by bringing on the star of your defending champion high Alai team to.
Greg Cody
He gives off a great deal of
Chris Cody
indifference both in his play and his casual elegance on the court and his interviews.
Sports Analyst Mike
That's right. Not a big talker. But that's not.
Siegfried
That's on you, though.
Sports Analyst Mike
What you get is the ability to talk to one of the greatest in the world at what they do. And an episode.
Jeremy
Yes, crack that nut.
Chris Cody
An episode.
Sports Analyst Mike
You get an episode. Potentially. We don't know if there's enough there, but we really want to see you take this crack.
Jeremy
Yeah.
Sports Analyst Mike
If you think it helps, we can be there for support.
Chris Cody
Well, now I might.
Siegfried
No, he'll see Mike. I think if we do that, he's gonna just.
Jeremy
It'll all.
Siegfried
It'll be us talking.
Sports Analyst Mike
He might shut down. Yeah,
Chris Cody
that'll do. I'll do it with the two of you.

Hour 2: Top 5 Things That Connote Jury Duty
Date: March 24, 2026
Recorded at: The Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami
Hosts: Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, Greg Cody, Mike Ryan, Chris Cody, Roy, Jeremy, Brad Williams, Siegfried, Amin Elhassan, and others
This hour of the Dan Le Batard Show is a fast-paced, irreverent blend of sports media analysis, behind-the-scenes show banter, and classic comedic bits. The central theme revolves around the intersection of credibility and bias in sports punditry, with a lively debate about Dan Orlovsky’s quarterback draft rankings. The crew veers into nostalgic sideshows (notably American Ninja Warrior fail stories), wildly offbeat personal confessions, and concludes with Greg Cody’s much-maligned comedic top five list themed around jury duty. As always, the tone is both chaotic and playful, with sharp-witted interplay among the hosts and regulars.
Orlovsky's “Hot Take” on Ty Simpson (01:23–02:26):
The team analyzes NFL commentator Dan Orlovsky’s outlier ranking of quarterback Ty Simpson as the top draft prospect—especially given that both share the same agency.
“It is a tribute to his work ethic and he is maniacal...he has climbed to the top of this particular business, which is easier than the one that he did before because he’s really good.” (01:25)
How Much Agency Relationships Matter (02:26–04:20):
"Because it's such a stark take...I have to believe that Dan Orlovsky truly believes it and isn't doing lip service because that's not what his track record has been." (03:40)
Analysts vs. Newsbreakers: Different Responsibilities (05:07–10:14):
“You do have access to insight that other people wouldn’t have on Ty Simpson because of it. Not everything is just spin and a nefarious plot..." (08:35, Mike Ryan)
Broader Sports Media Manipulation Themes (10:14–10:52):
“If you were somebody who was drawing a cartoon to be funny, this is how somebody would hit their balls...” (20:04, Greg Cody)
“I’m the most regular man in America.” (22:13)
“That is too much for a human being to be going to the bathroom. That is not regular. That’s irregular. That is close to illness.” (24:20)
The Bit:
“Brutal.” (28:38, Brad Williams)
“You had two juries. It was a terrible list.” (29:39, Greg Cody)
“That was terrible.” (35:03, Chris Cody)
Meta-Discussion on Top 5, Mount Rushmore/“Mount Gregmore” Mechanics (29:04–29:38):
Greg Cody Called Out for “Legendary Badness”:
“He’s undercut me. He’s not been good today.” (32:46)
Pitch for a “South Beach Sessions” with Manu (36:13–37:42):
“He has the emotion of a stone. Right. You’re not gonna get anything out of him, but I think if you play it straight, it could be both funny and engaging.” (36:44, Mike Ryan)
This episode is a classic Le Batard Show hour: brisk, absurd, reflexively self-aware, and unafraid of getting uncomfortably honest or unusually silly. While it nominally covers a hot sports media topic, it’s the tangents—embarrassment, family feuds, bodily functions, and the loving evisceration of failed bits—that make it uniquely entertaining for both fans and newcomers.
