The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz

Local Hour — "Jason Benetti Raises THOUSANDS to End ALS" (June 3, 2026)

Episode Overview

In this episode, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, Greg Cody, and the crew celebrate MLB announcer Jason Benetti’s wild, participatory effort to raise money for ALS (“Lou Gehrig’s Disease”) by sneakily weaving nine Greg Cody catchphrases into a Detroit Tigers broadcast. The hour showcases Benetti’s comedic commitment, the inside baseball of running on-air fundraising hijinks, playful grading of his announcer performances, and the fun, chaotic family dynamics of the Le Batard universe. The team tallies up donations, laughs at Greg Cody’s grade-schooler logic, and debriefs with Benetti about the most ridiculous moments. True to form, the episode is loaded with zany callbacks, generous spirit, and big-hearted absurdity—all in service of a good cause.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Benetti ALS Fundraising Challenge (01:41–44:52)

• Premise:
  • Dan reveals Jason Benetti and fellow broadcaster Boog Sciambi were supposed to drop Greg Cody catchphrases into their Tigers broadcast to raise money for ALS. Each phrase earns a donation, and Benetti goes above and beyond by squeezing in nine in one game.
• The Scoreboard:
  • Each phrase earns money depending on effort and delivery, as judged (harshly but joyfully) by Greg Cody.
  • Songs and “moneyball” phrases earn bigger donations.
• The Unexpected Hero:
  • Benetti outperforms Boog, who forgot to play along (“Boog just forgot to do any of it yesterday. And…Benetti came through by doing enough for everybody.” — Dan, 35:24).
  • Benetti matches whatever the show donates.

Cataloguing the Catchphrases: The Tally (07:39–44:01)

The group listens back to Benetti’s effort live, with Cody playfully grading each clip:

• “What’d you learn?”

  • [07:39] Jason drops a version—Cody deducts for not getting cadence: $75
  • “He gets a demerit for not specifically going, ‘What’d you learn?’” — Greg, 08:14

• “Very good” (the parrot catchphrase):

  • [09:45] Not quite parrot enough. $65

• “I’m the kind of guy…”

  • [11:51] Decent run-on delivery. $105 (“a little tip”)
  • “He’s learning. That was good.” — Greg, 12:02

• “I’m not going to take a quiz.”

  • [12:42] Cody is surprisingly delighted. $122
  • “That’s the best one today that I’ve heard.” — Greg, 13:44

• “Doesn’t make it right.”

  • [19:50] Not enough swagger; needs a sing-song lift. $77

• “Sassafras!”

  • [21:34] The runaway hit—absurd, flawless, hilarious. $200
  • “It doesn’t get much better unless it’s coming from my lips.” — Greg, 21:52
  • “That should get the maximum $200.” — Dan, 22:44

• “Who made it a salad?”

  • [24:39] Wildly confusing to Tigers fans—exactly what they wanted. $220
  • “That was the weirdest yet, and therefore it was perfect.” — Greg, 25:12

• “Trailers for sale” (song lyric)

  • [26:11] Deftly improvised. $385 (max song bonus plus big tip)
  • “That was essentially improvised…he is unbelievably clever.” — Dan, 30:12

• “You’re gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee” (the Moneyball):

  • [27:13] Nearly impossible, but Benetti fits it into baseball context. $1,001
  • “It was arduous for him to get there. The fact he worked that in is just monstrous. It was unbelievable.” — Greg, 28:58

Total Amount Raised

• Grand total (including tips, matched by Benetti):
  • $2,250 according to Tony (the show’s accountant). [40:53]
  • “That’s not including the 11% tip that goes to me off the top…” — Tony, 41:05
  • Money directed to ALS charity Project Main Street (projectmainstreet.org).

Benetti’s Postgame Debrief (35:15–44:01)

• Jason on the hardest catchphrase:
  • Avoided “one-armed paperhanger” as a disability advocate.
  • Did not use “fuller than Vern Fuller” — unclear context.
  • Feared losing his ambassador status with the CP Foundation.
• How much did the Tigers broadcast crew know?
  • Benetti warned them there would be “a couple phrases.”
  • Color man Dan Petry “had an enormous grin” after the Bernie Parmalee line.
  • Crew just accepted Benetti’s weirdness as standard fare.
• Fan Response:
  • Show fans followed along and tweeted support, especially for the harder lines.
  • No public complaints from the Tigers’ base.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On running jokes into the ground:

  • “What the LeBatard show does, famously, is run jokes into the ground. We cannot continue to run Greg Cody’s narcissism into the ground. It’s essential for our likability.” — Tony, 02:49

• On the absurdity of moneyball:

  • “There’s no way to do [‘You’re gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee’] well during a baseball game. That’s why it was the Moneyball.” — Dan, 28:33

• On random catchphrases:

  • “That was one of our money balls. Like, somebody said that would be the hardest one to get in there. I can’t believe he got that in there.” — Dan, 25:28

• Fan confusion is the point:

  • “There has to be people watching who are saying, why is he saying weird things?” — Jason Benetti, 22:06
  • “Only our listeners. That’s the thing that makes it great.” — Dan, 23:47

• Meta charity-tipping bit:

  • “You explain to me what sense it makes that your charity is so restrictive about worrying that your employees are going to steal stuff, that you declined $10 that would have helped your charity. Doesn’t make it right!” — Dan, 46:52

Self-Awareness & Show Family Chaos

• Greg’s strict grading logic, blending in over-the-top debating about how to “sing” a catchphrase correctly
• Debrief about gratuity-included bills morphs into a comedy routine about charity tips [42:49]
• Episode ends with mutual appreciation & self-deprecation, plus Dan’s signature collision of earnestness and absurdity

[Dan Le Batard]

You survived the Miami weekend, nailed the speech, and maxed out your credit card in the name of friendship. Now you've got one hangover, four pastel dresses, and zero reasons to wear them again. Sell them on Depop.

[Jason Benetti]

Just snap a few photos and we'll

[Greg Cody]

take care of the rest.

[Dan Le Batard]

And you at least get some of

[Jason Benetti]

your dignity money back. Someone on Depop wants what you've got.

[Dan Le Batard]

Start selling now, Depop. Where taste recognizes taste. Greg Cody, do you know any of what Jason Benetti and Boog Schambi did last night? Or is everything we're about to unveil for you going to be a total surprise?

[Greg Cody]

The latter a total surprise, Yes. I watched none of the baseball, partly intentionally because I thought it would come up today and I wanted to be surprised. I'm. I'm eager to say the least.

[Dan Le Batard]

How many do you want him to have done to be satisfied? Catchphrases on the Tigers raise your catchphrases on the Tigers Rays broadcast. How many would be enough for you to be happy about it or thrilled, even?

[Greg Cody]

Okay, happy. Any thrilled. Three or more.

[Dan Le Batard]

Jeremy. How many did he do?

[Tony]

Nine.

[Greg Cody]

What? One per inning or how does that.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is how that would work.

[Greg Cody]

What? Oh, my gosh.

[Dan Le Batard]

I believe you just added a catchphrase that I have not. Yes. I've not heard. That is. That is not on there, is it?

[Greg Cody]

I know I haven't said that in years.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is why it's gonna be 70 further away from the mic, please. Yeah, that's good, Mike.

[Greg Cody]

I'm.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm just a little worried, Mike, in general, but that we're feeding his narcissism too much.

[Tony]

Yeah, yesterday was a little rough. You know, it's one of the great Go to jokes. But also what the LeBatard show does, famously, is run jokes into the ground. We cannot continue to run Greg Cody's narcissism into the ground. It's essential for our likability.

[Dan Le Batard]

But he delights in it so much, and he's so happy, and he's at his worst and his best when he dips into the depths of the narcissism. Did Boog do any. Because I'm pretty sure he forgot. I have not heard anything. Did Boog forget on one of the busiest days of his life to do any of the catchphrases I've not heard from Boog? None of us can reach Boog. All of us are trying to get a hold of him to find out. Meanwhile, Benetti's in the middle of the broadcast, like, timestamping stuff and sending it to his producer. Like, he's just. I hate to say this, but I'm gonna have to.

[Jason Benetti]

He's the best.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's better than Boogie.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

I hate to say it gives you

[Jason Benetti]

the inning, the batter.

[Greg Cody]

It's the easiest thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not saying he's better at broadcasting baseball. I'm saying he's better at doing our job for us. So Bonetti will be on with us, and we will talk about all of this. And also, I came in here today, and I cannot believe what I'm about to say because I thought they were trying to trick me. I have said since it happened that the ball bouncing off of Jose Canseco's head before he got to the warning track and going over the wall for a home run is the best play in baseball history. And I am told it's happened twice in the last couple of weeks in college baseball and major league baseball. And not even the time we were talking about five weeks ago when we tried to get a hold of that minor league center fielder and he asked us for cash for an interview. And we're like, get out of here. We just want to. To talk to you about how the ball hit your forehead and bounced 70ft.

[Tony]

Should have paid him.

[Dan Le Batard]

How much he asked for, I don't know. I got to find out because I regret not paying him 200 bucks. But now. But now, all of a sudden, we got any number of people that we can pay because it's happening. It's a proliferation. This is a plague. It's a trend. If it's not a plague, it's a trend. When you have multiple. In the last month, we've had three home runs bounce off of heads. Is It a plague or a blessing?

[Greg Cody]

It's a blessing. It's a gift to baseball. It really is.

[Dan Le Batard]

So too is Jason Benetti. Let's hurry up and get this thing started so I could get to some of those catchphrases. Start of the day, start of the day it is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day it is the start of the day, start of the day, start of the day it is your start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day it is the start of the day. The New York Knicks are playing in the NBA Finals tonight for the first time in 9,840 days. And the hockey championship is unbelievable that the Vegas Golden Knights come back from two goals down. I thought when they got two goals down it was all over because all they do is block pucks with their face. Hockey championship, that's what they call it.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I have a stat of the day quality stat regarding game one of that game last night.

[Tony]

Not too late. We already played the imaging.

[Greg Cody]

That's okay. It's a bonus. Okay. It's a bonus stat of the day. Before last night, teams trailing by multiple goals at any point in a Stanley cup final game one were 00:55 hockey championship Carolina the first team to blow a two nothing lead in a Stanley cup game one. Really? Yep.

[Tony]

You know what they call that? Two zero lead. The most dangerous lead in sports.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's get to these catchphrases because Greg Cody is filled with delight right now. We've got nine of them. I don't know what we would have done if not for Jason Benetti. We're sitting here trying to support Boog's cause and then he just forgets about us. It's weird. And he put in very little effort into helping us while asking us to put in a great deal of effort to help him.

[Greg Cody]

Wow. Very critical.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean you asked us to do something. We were going to raise a bunch of money for charity for you and then you didn't do it and so we needed Bonetti to bail you out. Nick Wright is going to be here in about 40 minutes to talk about an assortment of things and we're going live throughout the show and the week this week. But the first of these from Jason Benetti. Roy, give me got the first of the Jason Benetti Greg Cody catchphrases that he dropped into Raisin Tigers last night.

[Jason Benetti]

You know, you watch the tigers for a 10 game span over the past three years and what do you learn? Maybe not a whole lot.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, okay. It's what you learn.

[Jason Benetti]

What do you learn?

[Greg Cody]

It's close.

[Dan Le Batard]

What do you give him for that? You're the one. He's going to be on in about 20 minutes and we're going to tally it all up and he's going to match whatever it is that I pay per catchphrase. Tony is keep the numbers back there. What do you pay for that one? It's $100 for them. Done perfectly well. $200. Anytime he gets the tone right on a song. If he's willing to do a song.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. He gets a demerit for not specifically going what'd you learn?

[Jason Benetti]

What do you learn?

[Greg Cody]

And saying it in that cadence. What'd you learn?

[Dan Le Batard]

I offered before the game. I told him I'd go over them with him. He said I don't need any help. I'm going to listen back to the catchphrases. And already he's got one wrong. What would you give him for that one? How much are you giving him?

[Greg Cody]

What do you Lear guess?

[Dan Le Batard]

Like he's.

[Jason Benetti]

He's not trying to do a Greg Cody impression.

[Greg Cody]

He should be.

[Dan Le Batard]

To get maximum dollars? Yeah. To get maximum dollars for charity? Yes. You got to honor it. Look, he haw three bidet up is not the same if it's just he haw3 like he disrespected the bidet.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Me maximum learn has to take longer than.

[Tony]

Would you.

[Greg Cody]

Would you learn? Yeah.

[Jason Benetti]

What do you learn? Yeah, see that learn is way too short.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, it was a little bit of an effort. I'm going to reward him with $75.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, so there is a deduction.

[Greg Cody]

He's.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's paying a tax. There's a cost. Somebody, some with ALS is getting less money because he did this poorly.

[Jason Benetti]

It's like gymnastics though we do count

[Tony]

in level of difficulty and that was

[Jason Benetti]

a relatively easy one.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Way to learn.

[Dan Le Batard]

We've got nine to get to gimme. I hope we got something better than that one.

[Jason Benetti]

34 year old left hander gets a pop up out number one as Fiducia puts it away and we get a message from Figar Law.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you've been injured in a motorcycle

[Jason Benetti]

crash, make Figar Law your first call. Figar Law.

[Dan Le Batard]

All we do is win when stays like this.

[Jason Benetti]

He's singing in the eighth inning. Very good.

[Dan Le Batard]

Help me Rhonda. So he did the very good parrot, but he didn't do it the right way.

[Jason Benetti]

Very good.

[Greg Cody]

No, that was a very pedestrian effort by V. I hate to say it because this is for charity. I support the cause Sound like it. You know, I'm. I'm. I'm a strict grader. You don't want me as your high school teacher. Trust me, I'm strict. When I give out an A, it's for excellent quality.

[Jason Benetti]

I don't want you with making me comfortable with ALS either.

[Greg Cody]

Well, you know what? You got to earn. Gotta want to learn. Gotta want to earn. He wants to try, but he didn't want to earn the max.

[Dan Le Batard]

But Nettie's gonna be on with us a little while. We are gonna yell at him about these things because he didn't do it correctly.

[Greg Cody]

Very good.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's the way that you do. What do you. What does he get for that? Keep those two in the holster, Roy, because those are the two I'm gonna be critical about when he comes on. What do to say about this, Cody? How much is that one worth?

[Greg Cody]

65.

[Tony]

I think the only thing worth remembering from that clip is Fiker Law.

[Dan Le Batard]

All we do is win.

[Tony]

What a great sponsor for Tigers games. Yeah, it is. So much better than the Marlins one sponsoring Tigers.

[Dan Le Batard]

All we do is win. There's so much. Is that guitar or is that just auto tune?

[Tony]

It feels there's a riff somewhere in the guitar there.

[Jason Benetti]

It's a good riff.

[Dan Le Batard]

All we do is win.

[Tony]

He cut out the riff, but there's a riff right after that. Yeah, you can go ahead and play the whole spot for like, I'm sure, like we're giving them free advertising, but there's a reason why that that ad stayed in there. We did not need it, but that ad is incredible.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, the ad was much better than the parrot.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Tony]

I'm giving money for the ad.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you've been injured in a motorcycle

[Jason Benetti]

crash, make figar law your first call. Figar law. All we do is win.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do is win. Let's play a third one here, see if these get any better.

[Jason Benetti]

I'm the kind of guy that likes when The Tigers score 15 runs in two games.

[Tony]

Now we're cooking.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, that's not bad. Yeah, that's a step up.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm the kind of guy who said it the way that you say it,

[Greg Cody]

not quite fast enough, but he ran the words together in a way that. That he's. He's learning. He's learning. That was good.

[Jason Benetti]

I'm the kind of guy.

[Greg Cody]

I'm the kind of guy that. That was an improvement a little further away. I'm gonna give him $105.

[Dan Le Batard]

A little tip on that

[Tony]

5% tip.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not much of a tip. When I said A little tip. I didn't mean anything other than it's very little.

[Greg Cody]

Hey, yo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Number four on the list. We're only halfway through. Jason Benetti polluting the sacred broadcast of the Detroit Tigers.

[Jason Benetti]

Tigers starting defense, brought to you by Mary Grove Awnings goes like this. Green, Veerling, Perez, McKinstry. In short, the double. Zach, left side of the infield. Torres and Tormelson on the right side. And Dillon Dingler has the plate. Two Zacks, two last names at Carpeti and Dede. Follow. I'm not going to take a quiz. First pitch to Yaddy Diaz.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not going to take a quiz.

[Jason Benetti]

He said, I'm not going to take a quiz.

[Greg Cody]

He said that?

[Tony]

Well.

[Greg Cody]

He said that well.

[Jason Benetti]

Just said the words.

[Greg Cody]

No, but he, he, he had a cadence to it.

[Jason Benetti]

I'm not going to take a quiz.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not going to take a quiz. I love the word. The quiz is a. Is a half an octave lower than the rest of the words, which is pristine.

[Jason Benetti]

I'm not going to take a quiz. Maybe turn completely around.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not going to take.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just, just. Let's turn our back to the mic. Yeah, yeah. And then just answer questions.

[Greg Cody]

That was, that was. That was better. That's the best one today that I've heard.

[Jason Benetti]

Do you think there are people listening to the Tigers broadcast or watching the Tigers broadcast? They watch every day and at some point they just think themselves. Jason's saying weird things today.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

When there are nine of them. Yes. I just want my Spencer Torkelson pure and clean. What I'm used to, I don't want. I don't want anything else. Mike, you've noticed, and this is troubling to me, the more we delve in his narcissism and Zaz, I gotta think that this is something that bothers you. The more he forgets he's broadcasting professionally, and then what happens is he turns his back to the microphone and is wandering around and just doesn't even know where he is because he's just lost in himself.

[Tony]

Yeah, he's. He's punch drunk on himself. And I think that's the space that we want him in.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I'm a human being, so here's what happens.

[Jason Benetti]

You're at work.

[Greg Cody]

When somebody over there is speaking to me, my human instinct is to go like this and speak right back at him. Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

But as a professional broadcaster, there are many places, many ways throughout the history of broadcasting that an assortment of people are looking at an assortment of people. And you're the only one who does it far away from a microphone. In the history of doing this, in

[Greg Cody]

the age of AI being able to do absolutely everything, AI should be able to follow me when I move.

[Dan Le Batard]

The others, they all learn from me.

[Greg Cody]

Zagaki, the zoom camera has figured it out. There you go. That's right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, great. Roy, can we get to the fifth one back?

[Tony]

Chris?

[Dan Le Batard]

Getting it done. Give me the fifth one. Chatting with you.

[Greg Cody]

I never gave an amount for that one.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is the amount? I thought it was a hundred dollars. Is there a tip?

[Greg Cody]

There's a tip. It was excellent. It's 122 by the way, if you're

[Tony]

keeping tabs at home, which we are here, catches catch can. Got $125. This one that you said was excellent, got $122.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, that's right. That's a 22% tip. Which is about the norm for Greg Cody.

[Dan Le Batard]

These are a little lower.

[Greg Cody]

Depends on the service. Sometimes I bump up into the high 20s.

[Tony]

[Greg Cody]

traveling used to mean I completely abandoned every good habit I had. Sleep gone, nutrition terrible. Next thing you know, I'm in an

[Tony]

airport eating chips for breakfast while trying

[Greg Cody]

to convince myself that this is somehow

[Tony]

part of a Stanley cup playoff diet.

[Greg Cody]

That's why cachava travel packs have become part of my routine this summer. They make it ridiculously easy to stay consistent when you're on the go. I just throw a couple packs in my bag and I'm set. Just quick, all in one. Nutrition wherever the day takes me and honestly, I feel the difference. Cacava is packed with plant based protein,

[Tony]

fiber, vitamins and minerals, greens, probiotics, electrolytes and more.

[Greg Cody]

I've had better energy during the day and I don't feel like I'm trying to recover from terrible travel eating decisions afterward.

[Tony]

Plus, it tastes good.

[Greg Cody]

Chocolate, vanilla, matcha, coconut, acai. They've got options. I have chocolate and vanilla.

[Tony]

I take one scoop of chocolate, one

[Greg Cody]

scoop of vanilla, mix them together.

[Dan Le Batard]

Boom.

[Tony]

Delicious.

[Greg Cody]

No artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, no fillers, no nonsense. Take your daily ritual with you. Go to kachava.com and use code DAN

[Tony]

for 15% off your first order.

[Greg Cody]

That's Kachava.

[Tony]

K-A C-H-A-V A.com, code- so my style sort of changes depending on what time of year it is. Once we get to the summer here in South Florida, it's unbearably hot. I really, I call it oppressively hot,

[Jason Benetti]

which means I'm constantly sweating.

[Tony]

And it changes how I get dressed because you got about 12 seconds before

[Jason Benetti]

you start regretting your outfit choices.

[Tony]

So lately I've really been trying to keep it a little more simple. Light, breathable, comfortable, but still looking put together because that's what I care about. And that's why I keep going back to Quint's. Their European linen shirts and pants are perfect for the summer and they start at just 34 bucks. Their tees are soft, they're easy to wear. They've got lightweight cotton sweaters for the random nights where the AC is sort of freezing everywhere you go. And everything at Quint's is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and

[Jason Benetti]

cut out the middlemen.

[Tony]

I picked up one of their European linen shirts in a sky blue color. I've actually even worn it on the show.

[Dan Le Batard]

You don't remember the idea.

[Tony]

I was probably like that kind of thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Something.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. No, the home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing.

[Tony]

Stugats. Oh, it's a good call.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you and plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't gotta do that.

[Jason Benetti]

You just.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, that would be a great call. Swing. That kind of thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats. Roy, give me another one.

[Jason Benetti]

Be one of the first through the

[Dan Le Batard]

gates and you'll receive a printed sun hat.

[Jason Benetti]

Presented by National Coney Island. It's the giveaway even Jason Benetti's talking about. Visit tigers.comgiveaways to learn. Just because I did doesn't make it right. You're right. That is a nice sun hat.

[Greg Cody]

I gotta say, I'm a little underwhelmed with that one, if I'm being perfectly frank.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, he said the words, but not perfectly. You gotta. You gotta give that one some swagger. You gotta go, it doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Tony]

Yeah. He said dudent.

[Greg Cody]

No, it's imperfect.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dudn't. He is spelling a D, U, D

[Tony]

and apostrophe T. Yeah, but as the author intended.

[Jason Benetti]

Right?

[Tony]

Yeah, like the right has to be right at the end.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, the dudent. I don't mind. Doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Not quite, but Eddie finishes high off

[Tony]

the glass, and what Greg needs is a little finger roll.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. Yes. That's exactly right.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think it's exactly right.

[Greg Cody]

You say, doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Tony]

My dad goes low at the right.

[Greg Cody]

No, you gotta lift it a little bit. Doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Gotta lift that right. How.

[Dan Le Batard]

How much is that?

[Greg Cody]

Almost sing songy. That doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Doesn't make it right.

[Jason Benetti]

Doesn't make it right.

[Greg Cody]

Doesn't make it right. Oh, doesn't make it right. $77.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, that's what I'm talking about. Give me another one, please.

[Jason Benetti]

That's one of those curveballs. You think you have it figured out, and as it crosses the plate you go, sassafras. Take your hat off.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's the greatest tip we can give. Laughing till he cops Sassafras.

[Greg Cody]

It doesn't get much better unless it's coming from my lips. It doesn't get much better than that. That's a 190, Sassafras.

[Dan Le Batard]

What do we do, break a window?

[Greg Cody]

That's a 190.

[Jason Benetti]

There has to be people watching who

[Dan Le Batard]

are saying, why is he saying weird things?

[Jason Benetti]

Sassafras.

[Dan Le Batard]

I can't believe he got that in there. How can I hear that again? Cause that has no content for anything. But the greatest. The greatest compliment he can give is coughing far away from the mic.

[Jason Benetti]

That's one of those curveballs. You think you have it figured out, and as it crosses the plate, you go, sassafras, take your hat off.

[Dan Le Batard]

I gotta ask you to give it an extra $10 because of how perfect that is. That should get the maximum $200. That doesn't make any sen. That does make people worry about whether or not Benetti is sane or whether he's not taking his medicine or whether he's on drugs of some kind. It makes no sense what he just did there. All over Detroit, people are like, what's wrong with our favorite broadcaster?

[Jason Benetti]

Do you think he. That's one of those curveballs. You think you have it figured out, and as it crosses the plate, you go, sassafras, take your hat off.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, I've reconsidered. Okay. In appreciate. First of all, the emphasis on the first syllable was spot on. And a little bit of elongation of the S sound. Sassafras.

[Jason Benetti]

Sassafras.

[Greg Cody]

$200. We're gonna raise it 10. We're gonna call that the optimum right now. The optimum right now is Sassafras.

[Jason Benetti]

Sassafras. Who is aware of what's going on in that broadcast?

[Dan Le Batard]

Only our listeners. That's the thing that makes it great.

[Jason Benetti]

Like his partner, his producer, the director.

[Dan Le Batard]

Write that down. And we're gonna ask him that when he comes on in five minutes so that we make sure we don't forget to ask him that. Tony. What? Where are we here on the amount that both Jason Benetti is gonna owe and what I'm gonna owe for charity?

[Tony]

So right now we are looking at 644 bucks, not including, obviously, the 11% for me. So we're at 75 for what you learn. Very good. Got 65 kind of guy, that 105. Not gonna take a quiz. 122 don't make it right. See how I did that? 77 and sassafras, 200. $644 again, plus tip.

[Dan Le Batard]

Projectmainstreet.org is where you go if you want to donate. And we will give that money away here after we've tallied it all up. Roy, give me another one, please.

[Jason Benetti]

One, two is a swing and miss. Strike three. Riley Green is down. That's one of those stats you look at. Who made it a salad?

[Dan Le Batard]

What?

[Jason Benetti]

One, two is a swing and miss. Strike three. Riley Green is down. That's one of those stats you look at. You go. Who made it a salad?

[Greg Cody]

Okay, To Zaz's point, Tigers fans right now are thinking Benetti has lost his mind. They're seriously wondering what is.

[Jason Benetti]

Why is he being weird?

[Greg Cody]

Right? Like, that was the weirdest yet, and therefore. It was perfect.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put the microphone just on the floor.

[Greg Cody]

It was perfect.

[Dan Le Batard]

But he did just put it on the floor.

[Greg Cody]

It was perfect. What? He did. $220.

[Jason Benetti]

Who made it a salad?

[Dan Le Batard]

I can't believe he got that in there. That was one of our money balls. Like, somebody said that that would be the hardest one to get in there. How many we got left here? Because. Because it's been too long since we've talked Knicks. Do we have the possibility again? My voice has to speak for us. And me. Stop answering back to me. We have two left, and I want Moneyball quality stuff. So, Roy, you believe that we have two better than who? Make of the salad? You think we might have two better than what we just delivered to the audience years and years ago?

[Jason Benetti]

We did one for Kroger, actually. Did you? Yeah, there was a little thing we did with guitars. Really? Yeah, we did really to.

[Dan Le Batard]

To Wild Thing. Yeah.

[Jason Benetti]

Did you make their heart sing?

[Dan Le Batard]

I. I don't know.

[Jason Benetti]

To make everything groovy, at least. Wow. Yeah. That year, probably I would have pegged you more as, like, a trailer for sale kind of guy. I know those.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know those. Lyric. Roger Miller.

[Jason Benetti]

Roger Miller.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

See?

[Jason Benetti]

Makes you king of the road. One, one. This is two goals and a strike on Palacios.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stunning.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

There is one better than who make of the salad. And him just breaking into song. You guys think there's one better than that? All right. I can't. What are the options given? Give me all the Moneyballs options, because

[Jason Benetti]

the only one. I mean, we're all hoping for. You're going to Buffalo. Bernie Palm.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's no way. There's no. It's not possible.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, that would.

[Jason Benetti]

You know this building, it opened in 1990, and one of the biggest events it ever held, other than the raise, that improbable run in 2008 to go to the World Series, was the 1999, Final Four. Now, Jim Calhoun and UConn became a dynasty as there's strike three, two down. But their first ever championship was against the Duke Blue Devils here in this ballpark. So UConn and Jim Calhoun won its first ever title. It was a big upset. You remember, I mean, when UConn came in here, people were like, you know, it's the same kind of thing. Like in 1992, you're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee. It was that kind of upset. You're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee. Unbelievable.

[Tony]

What a journey to get there. We should give $1 million.

[Greg Cody]

If I could, I would, Dan.

[Jason Benetti]

You should give a million dollars.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, we did say the Money Ball was $1,000, didn't we? We said that the thing that would be hardest to do would be, you're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee. He didn't do it well, but he did it well.

[Tony]

The thing is, there's no way to do it well during a baseball game.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's why it was the money ball. There's no way to do it well. If you're in Bernie Parmalee's living room,

[Tony]

that's about as non a path to it.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. I mean, if I'm nitpicking, he could have gone, you're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can't nitpick that. You can't. That can't be nitpicked.

[Greg Cody]

$1,001 with a tip? Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

A $1 tip.

[Greg Cody]

Well, it was more. It was a bigger tip. But you made me. You said I couldn't demote it for the fact that his. His delivery wasn't just right, but just the fact that he worked that in. And it was arduous for him to get there. The fact that he worked that in is. Is just monstrous. It was unbelievable.

[Jason Benetti]

Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee.

[Tony]

I also need a price for trailers. I never got a price for trailers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Here.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, yes. Let me hear it again, because I want to make sure. He went low with the word trailers.

[Jason Benetti]

Years and years ago. We did one for Kroger, actually. Did you?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Jason Benetti]

There was a little thing we did with guitars. Really? Yeah, we did. Really? To Wild Thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Jason Benetti]

Did you make their heart sing? I. I don't make everything groovy, at least. Wow. Yeah. That year, probably I would have pegged you more as, like, a trailer for sale. I know those.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know those lyrics, too. Roger Miller.

[Jason Benetti]

Roger Miller.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Jason Benetti]

See? Makes you king of the road. And he couldn't have known that his Partner was going to start referencing playing Wild Thing like that. That was. That was essentially improvised him, what he did there.

[Greg Cody]

I think it might have been planned. I'm interested in what Jason.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, no, he's really quick. He's unbelievably clever. And I do believe that he's improvising some of that stuff. Like he was just. He's going from. Did it make your heart sing? He's thinking about lyrics and how to be funny there. And then he's just throwing your thing on the side. I just can't believe he got Bernie Parmalee in. So I. And you're. You're deducting points because he didn't sing the song well enough for you.

[Greg Cody]

You need to start low on trailer trailers for sale.

[Dan Le Batard]

He sang a song to serenade.

[Greg Cody]

It wasn't. You're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmalee. It wasn't worth $1,001.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why are you giving him a $1 tip on the money ball of $1,000 for Bernie Parmelee? Because none of us thought he was gonna be able to do that one, that there would not be a way. Why are you giving him a $1 tip?

[Greg Cody]

That's why it's $1,000. Because it was the best one.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you gave him $1,000 and one. But it's not much of a bonus.

[Greg Cody]

Start with a dollar and you work your way up. It was a bonus.

[Tony]

Summer always hits different once the big game starts stacking up. Now you've got finals games on every other night, baseball's rolling all week, racing on the weekends, and suddenly everybody's looking for an excuse to get together. The other night, a buddy texted me, we've got the game on. Come through. I figured I'd stop by for maybe an hour. That was optimistic. Next thing you know, everybody's locked into the game and we're all part of the coaching staff. Somebody's yelling at the ref, somebody else is suddenly an expert on pitch strategy, and nobody's even pretending they're leaving early anymore. It's one of those nights where you take a sip of Miller Lite, look around and realize, yeah, this is exactly what summer is supposed to be. That's why Miller Lite is always part of these nights for me. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink when it's hot outside, and perfect for long nights hanging with friends, watching games in All American. Summer starts with an all American beer, Miller lite. Go to millerlight.com dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Co. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Tony, you know that moment at a party or at a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks?

[Greg Cody]

I know it well.

[Tony]

It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy. Yeah. You usually take all the credit for it, but. But it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo. Walking like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it, but again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

Keep it Cuervo, baby.

Baby, you should listen to the Great Cody show podcast because that's all we do for 55 minutes a week is just say catchphrases. We even make songs about them and you Know it is a song, for crying out loud. It's great. Hopefully that's a SUI nominee for best song. And you know it, baby and you

[Tony]

[Greg Cody]

baby and you know it and you know it and you know it, baby and you know it this is the

[Dan Le Batard]

D Ler show with the St. Tony. What is the final talent?

[Tony]

I need a trailer. Dollar mount. I don't have it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Trailers, the song he sang.

[Greg Cody]

That's a beauty.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's supposed to be. $200 is the maximum for a song. What are you willing to give him for singing a song?

[Greg Cody]

$385.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. $185 tip on trailers and a $1

[Greg Cody]

tip on Bernie Parmale.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. Very good. Very good. So here is Benetti now. Thank you for making the time for us. First off. Yes. And first.

[Tony]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's do this.

[Jason Benetti]

Good job.

[Dan Le Batard]

Good job.

[Greg Cody]

Appreciate you. Legend audit for Char

[Dan Le Batard]

Zaz didn't stand.

[Jason Benetti]

I'm comfortable.

[Dan Le Batard]

I proclaimed you better than. Better than Boog. I've proclaimed you. Because Boog just forgot to do any of it yesterday. And. And Benetti came through by doing enough for everybody because he did nine of them. Were there any. Jason, thank you for doing that. Thank you for being on with us. Were there any in the holster that you wished you had gotten off? And you just couldn't get them off? Off.

[Jason Benetti]

So there. The. The one armed paper hanger I was concerned about. I was concerned that there would be an issue if I said that on television.

[Dan Le Batard]

You were thinking, wait a minute. Were you afraid that you were going to offend the one armed?

[Jason Benetti]

Well, as a disability advocate, myself, as an ambassador for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, I had concerns that ambassadorship might be stripped from me had I used that one. There's also, I forgot to add, ask. I still don't know what the Vern Fuller one is. I still have no idea how to transcribe that.

[Greg Cody]

I just use that anytime anyone says the word full or fuller, like, you know, you eat a big meal. I'm full. Fuller than Vern Fuller. Vern Fuller was a baseball guy. So it actually fits on a baseball broadcast more than it would on. On most other.

[Dan Le Batard]

Maybe we should just stand up the. Yeah, full. Full count would have been the place to use that, but you. You crushed it. Okay. We had some criticisms with the. Some of the. The tone wasn't what Greg Cody wanted. He wanted. You want to teach him how to do the very good?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. The very good is a. Is a parrot speaking and heard from a distance. So the voice out of this out

[Dan Le Batard]

of the side of its beat.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it has to be very like this. Very good. Like that. Try that, Jason.

[Dan Le Batard]

Very good. Perfect.

[Greg Cody]

Near perfect.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. That's it. All right, so he. Which was your favorite, Jason? Which one did you get off that you were like. Because we were wondering before you came on with us, if longtime Tigers baseball people thought that the announcer for the Tigers had either lost his mind or was doing copious amounts of drugs.

[Jason Benetti]

That's the scary part is everybody just sort of nodded and smiled and was like, well, he's being ridiculous again. The Bernie Parmalee one. I hope I got the pith of it right, because it felt like I didn't know any of the backstory, but it felt like there was some anger that. That's your running when you're going to go play Jim Kelly in the Bills. Exactly.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. That's. That was the day of Dan Marino.

[Dan Le Batard]

That was a quote from the former Dolphins offensive coordinator Gary Stevens, who once came into the Dolphins press room and said before they played the Bills and Tom Olive Adi would be, you know, trampled on the sidelines as their defensive coordinator. You're going to go to that. You expect me to do my job with Bernie Parmalee as my running back?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, he, he was saying that off the record, of course, but enough time has passed where I feel the right to betray am.

[Jason Benetti]

That's great. The one I'm disappointed in is I thought Georgia on my mind. I thought I could get it in being close enough to Georgia, but I didn't trust my ability to be sultry.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at Lebanon show. Do you trust Jason Benetti's ability to be sultry?

[Jason Benetti]

Okay, Jason, your partner in the booth with you, your producer, your director, who knew what you were trying to do throughout the broadcast. So I let them know that for Lou Gehrig Day, there might be a couple phrases that they go, hey, that's a little bit more bizarre than normal. But I, but I wanted them to know just in case I asked them to, like, cut video or whatever. And, you know, Dan Petrie is such a nice guy in the booth next to me that I thought he would just get a chuckle out of it. And when I dropped the Bernie Parmelee line, he looked at me and had an enormous grin on his face like, like, I, like I had just solved the issue of going to Saturn and living there. Right. You know, so, so I, I, I, I love Dan, and I knew he'd be a great teammate and not, like, sell me up the river on it. But there were a couple after the first game, when I told him I might do a couple of these, he goes, how many did you get in, like eight or nine? I was. Was like four. He goes, oh, you said some crazy stuff that I thought was on the list, which I. I don't think is a compliment. Question mark.

[Dan Le Batard]

They think you're weird, right?

[Jason Benetti]

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nobody in the audience. You got no feedback from the audience or nothing that was concerned about you. You got no complaints that were like, what is he talking about? He's lost his mind. Yeah.

[Tony]

Were people tweeting?

[Jason Benetti]

Your fans must have been tweeting at you, right? Your show fans were tweeting at me. There were a couple people who were live tweeting it. And the Bernie Parmalee one, There were a couple of people who were like, he nailed it. Where that, like, deal with it. Which I thought was entertaining and shows that you have a great mob behind your shenanigans, which is fun.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tony, what do I owe and what is Jason owe? Because he on top of just doing that for us. He said that he would match whatever it is that I end up owing. What is the final total according to Greg Cody?

[Tony]

Final tally is $2,250. Again, that's not including the 11% tip. That goes to me off the top. So we're looking at about 220500 bucks.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's not 2,500 bucks. It's 2,250 bucks. Correct.

[Tony]

You're missing 11%.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, there's the Boog one. Yeah, Boog did one and he did it. Yeah, he did it poorly. And I think that. Wait a minute. You guys did this again to me. Greg Cody deducted that to $400, not $500 on. These numbers are inflated. You guys are doing bad things with the accounting on this.

[Tony]

And I'm on the up and up here.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're making me look like I'm against charity because you're just simply not doing the math correctly.

[Greg Cody]

Hee Haw Three or whatever.

[Dan Le Batard]

That was not the right enthusiasm.

[Tony]

Trying to take $100 off the charity right now.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm. But wait a minute. I'm honoring the Hee Haw 3 and the bidet up is what I'm doing, which is more important than the charity. Yeah, well, to be clear, we got this guy afraid of the one armed army coming after him. And I'm right here to tell you that this is not my fault. Funny to call it an army when it only has one arm. Sorry, Jason, That's What I was going

[Jason Benetti]

to quibble with was that there was. There was a little bit of meta going on in there. But the other. The other thing I would say is I work with a TV producer in sports once who hated more than anything when for a party of six or more gratuity would be included and the waiter wouldn't say it was included. So there's this inflation that people feel like is wrong when they're not told about it. So I think the only thing that happened is you weren't told in advance that there was gonna be gratuity for a party of six or more.

[Tony]

I made sure I said it beforehand. 11% right off the top goes to Mr.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Should the waiter or waitress tell you that the gratuity is included? Yes.

[Jason Benetti]

I love when the gratuity is included. I feel less pressure. Number one, I don't do math at the end when I get the check. And number two, I feel less pressure, like, oh, all right, this is what you think you get. Maybe I was going to give you more. Oh, well, now you can't judge me. I like when it's included on the bill.

[Greg Cody]

I don't mind as long as they tell you, you know, don't make me notice the fine print. You have to mention it as well.

[Dan Le Batard]

So have we concluded this particular adventure to everyone's satisfaction? Greg, Cody, do you have you had some quibbles before Benetti came on here? We gave him an earned standing ovation. I think he. He went above and beyond. But we can quibble with the fact that a couple of them, he didn't get the notes right or the tone right.

[Greg Cody]

Look, it's not going to be perfect because it's said in my voice and my cadence, but I think he did fabulous. He kicked Boogie's ass, if we're being honest. I mean, that's whose boss right here. I mean, raising almost $3,000 for this wonderful charity. I'm through thrilled that my podcast catchphrases were adopted by the LeBatard show and then turned into this wonderful, ingenious fundraising gimmick. I think it's great. I'm genuinely honored.

[Dan Le Batard]

We are, in general. Thank you, Benetti. We appreciate the time. We appreciate the effort. Any last thoughts here before you get out of here?

[Jason Benetti]

Just a quick message from Boog. And I was very busy yesterday. I was trying to put together a whole day, and I don't appreciate that you're telling me that I didn't do the job yesterday.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, but you didn't. Yeah, you didn't do your job. Yesterday. You told us you were going to do something, and you didn't do it.

[Jason Benetti]

I. My shock of red hair got in the way of my brain.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're the best, buddy. You have passed Boog Shambi on being more charitable. And I'm going to just say it to everybody. A better baseball broadcaster and a better human being. Yeah. Yes, yes.

[Jason Benetti]

Better.

[Dan Le Batard]

Also a better human being.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

Better at being a human.

This is so refreshing that we have such a great relationship with, like, the top of the broadcasting game. I cannot wait to burn this bridge with you.

I think if you guys had seen me yesterday, you guys would have laughed at me yesterday around the corner here, because you guys made me think about this, both with the combination of charity and what we were talking about, with tipping and tipping being included. I'm with Zazzle Zaslow, and I'm similar to Zaslo in that if you put in the check what you think it should be, you're absolutely going to get less than you were going to get, because I wanted to make that choice. And if you're satisfied with forcing me to tip a certain amount, that's what you're going to get. You won't get less than that, but you're not going to get more than that either. What you guys would have found funny, though, yesterday is, is my charitable streak collided with the fact that I am just totally indignant still about the fact that in America, people will not take my cash. So what you had on the corner of a street, two guys in blue shirts who are part of the Miami Dade Community College over here. I don't want to hear what their charitable effort is. I just want to give them. Them a $20 bill. I don't want to stand and hear everything you're raising money for. And I give them cash, and they tell me they're not allowed to take cash, that there are cameras everywhere and they can't take cash. And I'm like, I don't have time. I just have to give you cash. I don't have time to listen to you. And so what you had in the street is me trying to be charitable and them refusing the charity. They knew they never took it. They would not take it. And so you had physically in the street, somebody driving by, noticing it looked like I was getting the opposite of robbed. Somebody drove by, recognized me, and sees me trying to give these guys money that they are moving away from because it's not even. It's not just verbally. It's they don't want to be seen on camera camera taking money. You explain to me what sense it makes that your charity is so restrictive about worrying that your employees are going to steal stuff. That you declined $10 that would have
