[Dan Le Batard]

New season, new chaos in College Football let's go.

[Greg Cody]

Big stage, big opportunity this Labor Day.

[Dan Le Batard]

Weekend, wildness lives on ABC, ESPN and the all new ESPN app.

[Greg Cody]

What a way to start.

[Dan Le Batard]

Featuring top 10 teams like Clemson, Notre Dame, Alabama and LSU. And Bill Belichick's debut at North Carolina. It's so special when these teams collide. Don't miss a lineup filled with electric matchups.

[Greg Cody]

Welcome back to College Football Kickoff Week presented by Modelo Labor Day Weekend on ESPN and abc.

[Dan Le Batard]

Also available to stream on the all new ESPN Apple Billy what degree of confidence do you have that Greg Cody will execute any of this that we have rehearsed correctly for the show open?

[Billy]

I'm not entirely certain what he's rehearsing today, so he pulled it off yesterday. Yesterday was great, but we're asking for.

[Dan Le Batard]

It twice in a row.

[Billy]

Well, that's crazy.

[Dan Le Batard]

And it seems like we're pushing it because there is something about Greg Cody when He tries at 70 years old, and the way to get him inspired is just to let him sing. Really? It's an odd sort of development. He has these arguments. Can you tell me, Chris, what the what, what has been the development of his relationship with Yeti on your podcast? Because I could see Yeti being such a perfectionist that your dad gets tired of having to do things four and five times.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, it. I actually get a little insecure about the relationship they have. Like my dad's birthday's coming up and Yeti just told me the gift that he has for him. Like he, he the effort that Yeti puts towards my dad makes me feel like a bad son.

[Billy]

Well, yes. When we were in Vegas the day before the live show where it was Greg Cody and The Hee Ha Threes performing and all that stuff. We went out. Mike was DJing at, like, a bar. We went out to this bar where Mike was the DJ and Greg was there with Yeti. And very early in the night, I think. I think you may still have been playing or you just finished or whatever. Everyone else was still there, kind of, you know, like, socializing, being colleagues and such. And Yeti made an announcement. Okay, Greg and I have to go. Greg needs to rest his voice. And he ushered. He's like, greg, we gotta go. And he ushered Greg out and took him away from the bar where everyone was before everyone else had left. And he's just like, greg, you gotta go. You gotta rest up your voice. Big day tomorrow.

[Chris Cody]

And my dad was like a child. He's like, I don't wanna go.

[Billy]

And Chris was pounding shots at the bar. He didn't even know what the hell was going on.

[Mike Ryan]

Lost in the performative aspects of yesterday's Open was. His voice sounded spectacular on that song. But I am worried, not just by making him do this again, but our show's natural predisposition to beat jokes into the ground.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I think we might be inclined to do that again. Just to do it until it's no longer good. Like when we surprise ourselves. No, but that's the thing with us. We're not satisfied on something being good enough and enjoying it and being like we're satisfied, we keep doing it.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, that is us. Well, totally us.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is us, but there's another place that it's us. And I think people are enjoying it. And I can't believe the way Zaslo came in here today. Well, that's always pissed at Billy for a take. Yesterday. Yeah, I don't even want to. I don't want to even talk about it yet.

[Billy]

Wow. I want a shit talker over here. I've been here all day. You haven't said shit to my.

[Greg Cody]

Take it easy. I just got here, all right?

[Billy]

I mean, you pipe down or I'll take over your house in five seconds, friend. I can take you to the ground.

[Mike Ryan]

Billy, you were talking a lot about the man's family.

[Billy]

I'll be the top. Zaslow, pipe down.

[Dan Le Batard]

He just gave you a top while threatening to have sex with you.

[Greg Cody]

What a childish response.

[Dan Le Batard]

The tension between Zazlow and Billy continues to escalate. But I've rarely seen Zazlow this kind of angry.

[Greg Cody]

Says dumb.

[Billy]

What was dumb, sugar tits?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no, not yet.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, low hanging fruit. Good for you. Way to come up with an insult.

[Chris Cody]

Hey Mike.

[Mike Ryan]

Hey man. Summer's almost ending, man. I don't like that. There's no way. There's no way I am excited about cooler temperatures. But down here in South Florida, that just means slightly less boiling hot. It's been a pretty incredible summer. We've had a parade down here. We've grown our family down here at Meadowlark Media. A lot of exciting things, a lot of memorable benchmarks. And along the way, at almost every step, I've been tailed by that beautiful white can of Miller Light. Oh, that beautiful white. Or the brown bottle you can do it on draft.

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

Draft is crisp.

[Tony]

The greatest of laughs, mistakes and best revelations Brought to you by the greatest beer. It's the best time of the year. So keep your dial right here. It's me and you and me again the Seuss.

It's me again and it's you. It's me and you and me again at the Suiz that's got a thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Best two weeks of the summer according to Tony. Although I don't think it's because the Suis are here.

[Tony]

No, Dan.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, it's.

[Chris Cody]

We're in the thick of it right now. Draft season, fantasy football draft season. You get all your boys together, you're hanging out, you're seeing who's putting what sticker on the wall.

[Tony]

Dan.

[Chris Cody]

It also coincides with the worst time of the year. And I'm sorry to report, Little League World Series sucks.

[Tony]

Sucks.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg, quit grabbing at the microphone in a noisy ham handed fashion, please. I know that you're done with your job. Once you've done your singing, you feel like you've accomplish that needs to be accomplished.

[Tony]

Yep.

[Dan Le Batard]

But we've got a whole nother three hours after your big number.

[Tony]

Is that right?

[Dan Le Batard]

If you could stay with us.

[Mike Ryan]

Change that shirt fast.

[Billy]

I mean he's getting good at this outfit change mid performance. You are just. Who. Who are you?

[Tony]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, you should have seen him practicing that yesterday and just eating more and more bacon. His cholesterol went to a dangerous effort, a dangerous place. Just with the number. The amount of bacon he was throwing over his shoulder.

[Tony]

Yeah, the bacon here is top notch. You know, I mean, I'm not sure if it's Hormel smokehouse bacon, but it is top notch.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's not necessary for you to do that. You to proclaim your ignorance while not knowing whether it's sponsored or not is not necessary.

[Billy]

We were just telling Zaz that every run through Greg did yesterday, he did the bacon toss to perfect it. So every single time, he took one bite of bacon and then threw it on the floor behind him. And there was a lot of rehearsals.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, him and Stugats are the only ones I've seen who just go over to the bacon tray and don't get a plate, don't get a napkin, get tongs. Just do it. Always with their sausage.

[Greg Cody]

No, bake, Bake. Bacon's a go to food that you just. You pick up with your fingers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not. Not in a group, though, I don't think.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

You got to be precise, though. It's just that one bacon you're grabbing. You got to make sure that it's just the one.

[Tony]

Yeah, there's one I touch.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. There's a trust factor. You know, if you're going to do that, everyone's trusting you that you're not going to touch the other pieces that you're not eating.

[Tony]

Right. It's like picking a potato chip out of a crowded chip bowl. You know, you have to just touch the one you eat. But I can't tell you what a crime it was for me to have to take one bite of that bacon and throw the rest away.

[Billy]

Wow.

[Tony]

To waste good bacon is. Is really a strong misdemeanor on the criminal arc of life.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the pole. Is to waste bacon a strong misdemeanor on the arc of life?

[Billy]

Did you ever update us on what you did with all that bacon that was sent to you in the giant cooler that we thought was way too much? You're like, I'm going to go through this very quickly.

[Chris Cody]

That's the bacon he just referenced by brand, but it's.

[Billy]

Did you eat it? Did you bake it all?

[Dan Le Batard]

He said he was going to eat it all in a month. And I'm sure it's. He hasn't even put a dent in it.

[Chris Cody]

Still in his fridge. He's given some away, but there's still a given away.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Tony]

There were four big packages. Each one had to weigh, like, 20 pounds.

[Billy]

I don't think so.

[Tony]

And. And two of them are gone. Two of them remain?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think so. Billy. I think he was £20. I tried to hold it over my head, and it felt like I was doing the kettlebell work.

[Billy]

Well, you know, £80.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know, Billy.

[Billy]

You know, we all get older.

[Tony]

Raw bacon is heavy.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Tony]

You know, when it's cooked, it's lightweight.

[Greg Cody]

Claims he has 80 pounds of bacon.

[Tony]

Yes, correct.

[Dan Le Batard]

I.

[Mike Ryan]

What you held over your head looked like a 20 pound.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think I agree with them. I think it was 80 pounds of bacon. As and as someone who would be familiar with what it is to hold 80 pounds of bacon, I feel like you should.

[Mike Ryan]

Morning.

[Dan Le Batard]

You should defer to my expertise on this. But I got to get to why it is that Zaz is mad at Billy. And I've been thinking about Billy this morning because Jason Sanders is hurt. Now, anything that happens with the dolphin kicker, I think of Billy first and foremost and I cannot be alone in that regard because of how much Billy dislikes Jason Sanders. But you just heard Tony say that this is the best time of the year, that he loves these two weeks and there is a lot of enthusiasm for the buildup of football. Football closes off his preseason and gives you two full weeks after a slow time of here it comes. What pissed you off from Billy? Yesterday's as well.

[Greg Cody]

I'm watching the show yesterday because, you know, if I'm not here, I want to make sure I keep up with. I want to. I want to make sure I still feel included. So I'm watching the show yesterday and Billy has this half cocked idea of we need a break in the middle of football season. We. We need a fan break. So you're telling me that Monday through Saturday is not enough to get done what you need done? Your life? That you need an actual week off from the thing that we all love? You want us to not do for a week the thing that we all love? The games, the gambling, the fantasy football. You're like, nah, you know what I could do without it this week? Somehow I can't get done when I need to get done between Monday through Saturday. You're off your rocker.

[Billy]

How dare you. Number one. If anyone's on their rocker here, it's me. I'm on my rocker, sir. Just so you know, there's nothing wrong with taking a little break. Ever heard a spring break?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, you're taking a break from the.

[Billy]

Thing that you hate. Ever heard of summer break?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, you're taking.

[Billy]

Ever heard of winter break?

[Greg Cody]

You're nuts.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Ever heard of recess on a playground in the middle school?

[Billy]

Ever heard of a nap break?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, recess is doing something fun away from the thing that's not fun. Did I just learn that Billy hates football?

[Billy]

No, no, you're not going to put words in my mouth here, okay? Ever heard of fast break the candy? Ever heard of brakes in general? You've never brakes on a car? Brakes are good things.

[Tony]

Heard of breakdancing?

[Billy]

Thank you, Greg. So that you enjoy the things that you enjoy more. What's the. What's one of the biggest problems with football? What's one of the biggest.

[Greg Cody]

I don't think there's that.

[Billy]

I think injuries, concussions. Are those not problems? Cte. Are you a fan? So you're like, cte.

[Greg Cody]

Don't put words in my mouth.

[Billy]

Oh, my name's Zazzo. I love brain injuries. I love people living shorter lives. I love cte.

[Greg Cody]

Don't put words in my mouth.

[Billy]

That's what you said, not me. So you their rocker?

[Greg Cody]

So you're telling me that in the middle of the NFL season.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

You're saying yourself, oh, I'm having such a great time today, watching football.

[Billy]

Pace myself.

[Greg Cody]

I'm winning all my bets with DraftKings. I'm. I'm doing all my fantasy football. I'm winning games there. But you know what I would like? I would like to not have this fun experience next week.

[Billy]

Pace yourself. You p. Are you. You go out drinking. You're. You're a lush. We all know it. You go out drinking. What is this character you get. You get a little ahead of yourself. You drink too much, end up throwing up all over your face. You have to call your bully kids, like on tripod.

[Greg Cody]

You understand how gravity works?

[Billy]

All over your chin right here, all over that puss over there. That's what you do. Says face. That's what you call face.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll. Plays that Lebatard show over under 100 years old people arguing who say pipe down. And you're off your rocker because the two of you just had an argument that felt like old people on a porch or in a nursing home throwing tapioca.

[Greg Cody]

It's not the way I wanted to start the day.

[Billy]

Shut up. You came in looking for that fight, and you blindsided me. Didn't even come and lay it down. Like I say, hey, I have a of bunch a bone to pick with you.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not looking for a qualm of sorts, but if I hear a crazy person want to ruin everybody else's fun, I got to stand up for.

[Billy]

I'm trying to prolong the fun.

[Greg Cody]

If you know one thing about me, you know I stand up for people.

[Dan Le Batard]

So Billy is making advocacy here for being a. I just want to go.

[Billy]

To Disney World for a weekend and I miss any games. Is that such a crime?

[Greg Cody]

Whatever. Monday through Saturday.

[Billy]

What?

[Greg Cody]

Six. What?

[Billy]

What happened on Monday through Saturday? What job? I could just leave. Leave all my responsibilities behind. My kids go to School? My kids aren't school skippers like your kids, okay? They have to be there. They have to learn their A's, their B's, their C's, their. I mean, maybe I live in a.

[Greg Cody]

House of learned people.

[Billy]

Yeah, maybe. What are you doing there, Greg?

[Dan Le Batard]

Your glasses are fogged up.

[Tony]

That's because I'm so. I'm so much on Team Billy here. Thank you.

[Greg Cody]

What a shock.

[Tony]

No, because, you know, Zaz has never heard of the phrase absence makes the heart grow fonder.

[Billy]

Exactly.

[Tony]

If you have a hat, what amounts to a half.

[Billy]

He learned that his wife dumped him, remember?

[Tony]

Yeah, that's right. That's.

[Greg Cody]

That is such a low blow. I don't even know what to do with that.

[Billy]

What did you think of that? That little break? You came back stronger than ever.

[Greg Cody]

I hated the break. What are you talking about? The break from my wife then. She was my girlfriend. The break from my wife was like the worst two months of my life.

[Tony]

Yeah. Breaking Bad made you love her more.

[Greg Cody]

I wasn't Breaking Bad. Do you know Breaking Bad means.

[Tony]

Yeah, it's a great show.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Another example of. Of a break serving us all.

[Greg Cody]

Well, not what it means at all.

[Tony]

Yeah, sure it is. Absolutely.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you. Good timing on that. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Abstinence also makes the heart grow fonder. Billy is sitting here and he is saying to you that he's somebody who likes. Because he mentioned that he would be on top for some reason. I don't know how that happened because he.

[Billy]

He has a thing where his delinquent children have to knock him to the ground. So I would be on top of him. I would knock him down. Boom. You know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, says Avery Johnson, the Kansas State quarterback, his father stole your move.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, my God. That was. That was terrible. I was shocked watching that. I was shocked that they would so blatantly take my gimmick. I mean, that's, that's. That's what we got going on. Do you think they heard us talking about it?

[Dan Le Batard]

You are getting physical with your children. What is the age of the child that called you sugar tits the other day?

[Greg Cody]

16.

[Dan Le Batard]

16 years old. It is clear at that point, right? The people in our audience, I know they're playing with you with this, but nobody has the experience that you do with their 16 year old where it's going to end up in a fight because your 16 year old thinks of as his older brother instead of his dad.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I don't necessarily agree with that. Can, you know, is your older brother going to be Able to put you down on the ground like it's nothing the way that your father can. I mean, you saw that video. Avery Johnson's father.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, I chased my brother into the street when tighty whities because he pulled a butter knife on me. I was about 43 or 44 years old. But the older brother does technically, it usually is somebody who could beat up the little brother, is he not? Like, I don't. What's happening in your household is not something I have had. It's not something I've seen with functional, loving people like I imagine that you and Tamara are.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, but it's not. It's not a regular occurrence, though. Like, he had an opportunity. Now he's got to wait six more months to try again. I mean, look, he's out of the house at 18 years old. So if you want to do the math. Dan, I don't know if you have your abacus with you over there, but if you want to do the math. Six months we're talking. He's really got four opportunities before he's 18. One of them. Check it off the list.

[Billy]

Can we fix this? I don't. I don't know what we're fighting about. Like, I don't need to be coming into a hostile work environment here.

[Greg Cody]

We're fighting about a half cocked idea.

[Billy]

Yeah, that. I said. Excuse me? I said on the front end. This will not be well received by many. You obviously are a many. You are a sheep.

[Greg Cody]

You.

[Billy]

I am Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison. I come up with ideas that others view as kooky at the time and 100 years from now will be viewed as the norm and progress.

[Greg Cody]

You're telling me you think taking a week off of the thing that everybody loves.

[Billy]

Ever heard of Thomas Ederson?

[Greg Cody]

No, never.

[Tony]

It's a freedom cocked idea. It's great.

[Billy]

Thank you.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Billy]

Cocked and loaded.

[Tony]

Fully cocked.

[Billy]

Mm.

[Tony]

Fc.

[Billy]

I'm coming for you guys. I'll tell you that right now.

[Tony]

Fc.

[Dan Le Batard]

Fc. He's coming for Greg Cody.

[Greg Cody]

FC fully cocked. It on top of me. No, that's what's being thrown at me.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's. It's really threat. It's threatening, it's hostile. It's not appropriate in the workplace. It's not appropriate anymore in 2025.

[Billy]

Good luck finding that.

[Chris Cody]

Foggy again.

[Tony]

I'm wearing a big wool jacket here. It's like, you look great.

[Chris Cody]

Take the jacket off. You can take it off now.

[Dan Le Batard]

Take the jacket off to reveal that. That throw r from the 1940s.

[Tony]

Is that the Samson collection?

[Chris Cody]

I was just going to make that joke. Yep, that is a definite Samson.

[Dan Le Batard]

Those buttons are bejeweled. And he is wearing the kind undershirt too.

[Chris Cody]

It's a move.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is the material on that shirt? Is it rayon? Is it. Is it silk? What's the material?

[Tony]

Can it be felt?

[Dan Le Batard]

I'll feel it.

[Jeremy]

Hey, it's Jeremy here. I don't know if you've noticed this about me, but I'm not quite someone who loves confrontation or fighting.

[Billy]

I don't really want to end up.

[Jeremy]

In a situation where. Where I need to do so. For me, Simplisafe becomes the way I want to protect my home. Because not only is there like the personal peace of mind of knowing that my security is preventative, it's not just an alarm after an event. I want to make sure that my wife is okay, that my cats are okay, that everything I have in my home is okay. And knowing that I have to deal with like the stress or the violation of someone potentially breaking into my home home and reacting to it versus having the control and safety of proactive prevention is huge for me. Most security systems only react after a break in. Simplisafe helps stop it before that happens.

Don Levitard.

[Tony]

It's been a lovely cruise. Oh, man, that's my outro. That's. You know, as my casket is being lowered.

[Greg Cody]

Jesus.

[Tony]

You know, I'll have been cremated a week before, but we'll do the casket thing just for show and as my casket is being empty.

[Billy]

Casket?

[Tony]

Yeah, you know, just for show.

[Billy]

Well, what's the redundancy there?

[Tony]

You know, I mean, we're going to put on a public display.

[Billy]

Yeah, naturally.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats.

[Billy]

What do you do with The Ashes.

[Tony]

You're going on a lovely cruise. Exactly. Maybe we'll throw them over. My wife will throw them overboard. I would have necking with her new husband.

[Billy]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Dolphins have gone into the discount bin. This is not good. A couple of weeks before the season starts. Everyone is saying the Dolphins have the worst corners in the league. Just yesterday on our show Greg Cody argued on behalf of the culture change that's in play because of merely Jalen Ramsey not being here anymore. So they have given a one year contract to Bills discard Rasool Douglas because they're panicked at the position. What could possibly go wrong against the Bills if you don't have cornerbacks? Nothing. Right. Like they'll be fine. No pass rush as a bonus strike because their pass rushers are hurt too. So explain to me Greg Cody, you're homorific. You're saying that the Dolphins plus seven and a half that that number is too low for their season wins and I just don't know how they're going to stop people if they can't cover them and they don't have a pass rush.

[Tony]

Well, the pass rushers are going to be serious injuries and they are going to have a great.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait, what do you mean those aren't serious injuries?

[Tony]

They are going to have a great front step.

[Dan Le Batard]

You think they've got. Jalen Phillips isn't serious injuries. All he's had is serious injuries.

[Chris Cody]

But they are technically all supposed to be back, right? Chubb Phillips.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

And they got the second year guy.

[Tony]

Right. And Matthew Judon is a great pickup at a reasonable price. He's smart. That's a smart.

[Dan Le Batard]

So wait a minute. What are you expecting?

[Tony]

Their linebacking is good. I think their front defensive front seven is good enough to help mask the lack of secondary. And they do. They have a great safety. And Rasul Douglas, he's a proven corner. He's what they don't have which is veteran experience at cornerback.

[Chris Cody]

All the good corners are free agents the whole offseason usually.

[Mike Ryan]

I did take a little flyer on Chop Robinson to lead the league in sacks.

[Tony]

That's a great pick. Chop Robinson is a rising star in this league.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can you guys get me some metrics please on pass rush? Because I want to know where it is that Cody is coming up with the idea that the people who have been injured, who have provided them pass rush, that they're not going to get injured again when the last couple of seasons their edge rushers have gotten hurt.

[Tony]

Okay, that's the TUA argument though. Because someone's been injured before, you're assuming they're going to be injured again.

[Dan Le Batard]

But Greg, that's, that's a reasonable thing to do. Once one part of the body starts breaking down, all sorts of other parts of the body start making compensation.

[Mike Ryan]

But in Greg's offense, this is why they have lined up. Yes, these are guys, Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chubb, like these are guys that have dealt with injuries. But you have Chop Robinson, you bring in Matthew Judon, who on a passing down can get after the quarterback. He could probably do that into his 40s.

[Tony]

And Zach Sealer, they just extended one of the better defensive tackles in the league who has a lot of sacks. He's not just a run stopping dt. He can get to the quarterback. Buffalo does not have a great offensive line. When you talk about how are they going to defend Josh Allen without great cornerbacks, it's because the pass rush will get to him.

[Greg Cody]

Kenneth. Kenneth. I'm sorry. Kenneth. Grant's gonna be really good.

[Chris Cody]

I'm with my dad.

[Tony]

Like the new.

[Chris Cody]

If you're seeing anything positive this offseason from the Dolphins, it's the front seven. Like he's right about that.

[Tony]

And, and the other thing is their first eight games are easy, relatively speaking. At, at Buffalo, they're getting that one out of the way.

[Dan Le Batard]

All eight of those teams are looking at the Dolphins and saying that week is easy for them.

[Greg Cody]

Like Greg, I think we did that last year too. The Dolphins, early season, early part of their schedule.

[Tony]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

It didn't.

[Tony]

Well, you know what? This team is capable of being six and two at the break, five and three at worst. Yeah, I think so.

[Dan Le Batard]

Craig, are you. Don't.

[Mike Ryan]

At worst it could be really bad.

[Tony]

Stop being a homer bro.

[Mike Ryan]

At worst it could be really bad.

[Dan Le Batard]

Because the quarterback last year, they started worse than that.

[Tony]

Okay, I've seen one of those over and under things. One of those high and low, best case, worst case scenario.

[Greg Cody]

Can you just. I don't know what that thing. Can you describe that thing thing to me?

[Tony]

What thing?

[Greg Cody]

Over under thing. What is that?

[Tony]

The over under on wins is seven and a half. But ESPN does this thing where what's the ceiling for this team and what's the worst they can be? And for Miami it's 6 and 11 at worst and 11 and 6 at best.

[Chris Cody]

Is it not that for every team?

[Tony]

No, it isn't actually. No. For New Orleans, I think it's 2 and 15 or something is the worst.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you guys doing when you're doing this. And the ringer just ranked all the defenses in the NFL this season. And the Dolphins were 26.

[Greg Cody]

Ringer. What do they know?

[Dan Le Batard]

Like you don't have corners.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, but that's not the argument that he's making. I think he's conceding that they don't have corners and hopefully their edge rushers can make the corners better.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, the way that you would hide the lack of COVID corner is a tremendous pass rush. If you have a tremendous pass rush. I mean, you know, I just said NFL player.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, it is. It is what you guys just said. And I would say if you've got the worst corners in the league, ain't a front that covers it. There's. It doesn't exist.

[Mike Ryan]

Buck up against that. You don't notice that they're the worst corners in the league if your pass rushers are getting after it. Look, Miami, look at the college game. Miami's corners were exposed last year because the defensive line did not live up to the billing because of all the injuries and the fact that there was.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just a terrible D.C. you're not explaining anything. Any of you aren't explaining anything that isn't understood that the best thing to have in the league is a pass rush. You're more convinced that it's going to stay healthy than I am. You're more convinced that anything you've seen this preseason of any kind is indicative of anything. I think the Bears won all their preseason games last year.

[Tony]

It means nothing. And I've never suggested it does.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, you just did. You said it's looked their front seven is the one positive. Everyone here has said that they have. And I don't trust their front seven to be able to cover worst in the league deficiencies at corner.

[Tony]

Okay, but. But I don't relate that to the preseason at all. They had their first unbeaten preseason since 1998. It means zero. It means nothing. But. But the pass rush is going to be good. I think the offense is going to be much better. I expect bounce back years from Tyreek Hill and from Waddle. They have a pretty good running back room. They have a kid, the seventh rounder who looked really good in the preseason. That's the one thing I judged the preseason for is the development of young players. That's fine. I've been called worse than a homer.

[Greg Cody]

Am I the only one who is really concerned about Tyree Kill? I mean, we haven't seen him yet this preseason and it doesn't seem like the quarterback is necessarily enthused with the wide receiver these days. And you know, Tyree Kill, we saw what went down the end of last season. First sign of trouble really in his career. Really in his career. Tyree Kill, he's made the playoffs every year of his career before last year. And the first sign of adversity we saw he quit the quitting the game and then quit the team. They get off to a slow start this year. We feel good about way Tyreek Hill's gonna behave.

[Tony]

I. I would look, he had less than a thousand yards last season which in a 17 game season, a thousand yard season is no longer anything special at all. I expect him to be in that 1500 range. I expect him to have a really good season.

[Greg Cody]

I'll take.

[Chris Cody]

I also will take the under.

[Tony]

There's no substitute for speed. No, no, the betting over under.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, wait a minute. There's no substitute for speed. How about his diminished speed because he's in his 30s and he's not going to be as. He's not going to be faster than anyone everyone else in the league going forward.

[Tony]

Well, diminished speed I'll grant you but it doesn't mean he's still not a fast wide receiver. Jalen Waddle is fast. Tua gets rid of the ball fast. They have a good running game.

[Dan Le Batard]

What would it take to mute your enthusiasm before a season? Like what would it actually take?

[Tony]

You know what it would take them getting their ass kicked at a really bad Indianapolis team in the opener. Okay, now the university and maybe Mike would agree, maybe he wouldn't. The University of Miami can lose narrowly to Notre Dame and nobody's giving up on on the U. But if the Dolphins. To me, the Dolphins have a. Have very little faith. They've created very little buzz. They need to prove early on that they have a chance to be a decent team. And that means beating the Colts. The Colts are not very good. I think the Colts want Daniel Jones at quarterback.

[Chris Cody]

I think they're okay. I think they're better of the AFC south teams if you look at them.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Billy]

Tyreek Hills over. Under. According to DraftKings on receiving yards for the season is 975 and a half.

[Tony]

Wow. See, I would take that in a minute.

[Chris Cody]

Can we find an under my dad would take for the Dolphins?

[Tony]

Not seven and a half wins.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hiding under his desk when the season's over.

[Chris Cody]

Don Le got to go back out there. That was big. Wake him up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, he doesn't want. He doesn't want to be bothered anymore. Now it's getting tense because he didn't need that result. He needs something that happens.

[Billy]

You can see him.

[Chris Cody]

Mother effing. Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now?

[Dan Le Batard]

Turn on your microphone.

[Tony]

My microphone's on St.

[Chris Cody]

Paint the scene.

[Tony]

The paint the scene is. I got to go to work. Good night.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the D?

[Billy]

Ler show with the St. Gats.

[Mike Ryan]

Let him be excited. This is the time of year where you get excited.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just like a different surprise opinion from him. One year on what the Dolphins are going to be just.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, that was informed. He had conviction. He bucked up against you on the front seven. He had his talking points. He goes to camp occasionally.

[Tony]

This kind occasionally.

[Billy]

There's nothing wrong with Hope. Greg's been to camp more than all of us combined have.

[Mike Ryan]

You been to camp this year? You know, occasionally. Greg, is Mimi here? Is Miami Herald still doing those those big football sports additions where you get a Dolphins special section college football per year.

[Dan Le Batard]

Seven football.

[Mike Ryan]

You remember statewide college football.

[Dan Le Batard]

There would be seven sections of just football. High school football.

[Mike Ryan]

High school. Where's Willie Williams going?

[Tony]

As a matter of fact today when I get home from this show, I am finishing and filing for publication my annual NFL team rankings.

[Billy]

Wow.

[Tony]

1 through 32.

[Chris Cody]

It's why my dad won't be in the rest of the week. I think we wanted him in one more time this week. And he's like I got a lot of stuff.

[Tony]

Well, it's due today but three times a week's a big.

[Chris Cody]

So doing Friday was just you just.

[Greg Cody]

They'll wait for you.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm such a big fan of you too that those football editions when I was a kid it meant the world.

[Billy]

When does it come out? You file it today. When does it come out?

[Tony]

Well, it'll be online probably later today. I'm not sure when when it prints.

[Billy]

Any sneak previews for Dolphins are going.

[Dan Le Batard]

To be number one, right? They're going to be ranked number one. They're going to be number one favorite.

[Chris Cody]

To win this Dolphins better than you think.

[Tony]

The Dolphins will not be in my top 10. I can hear it but the fact.

[Chris Cody]

That they'll be in the the top 15 is weird.

[Tony]

Will they be ranked high enough to be one of the top seven teams in the AFC and make the playoffs? You never know. You're going to have to read what.

[Chris Cody]

I. I feel like I do know.

[Dan Le Batard]

I do know. And Cody, I don't know why. I would love to know if in Indianapolis there's an Indianapolis Greg Cody Kravitz, who's been a columnist for 50 years who's doing a show today saying that the Colts. If the Colts don't beat the Dolphins who are very bad team then the Colts season is doomed. With Daniel Jones, I don't think the col Colts look at the Dolphins and see a team that's much better than them. I think the Colts say they had Anthony Richards, a quarterback who had started all of 15 games in college, high school and everywhere else.

[Mike Ryan]

What an arm though, Dan.

[Tony]

What an arm.

[Mike Ryan]

Occasionally a great. A great throw. But look, Daniel Jones has won a playoff game. Tua, can you say that? I mean to a play in the playoff game for hen sake.

[Tony]

As of right now, Indianapolis is favored by one and a half. I want you to write this in stone. By kickoff on September 7th, the Dolphins will be favored in that game.

[Billy]

Wow.

[Tony]

Because there's going to be a lot of money that realizes how bad Indianapolis is and how under regarded the Dolphins are. That line will flip. The Dolphins will be favored by one or two points on kickoff day. Hold me to that.

[Greg Cody]

Can I just ask a question real quick? Greg, if you're. If your column is due today, why can't you come in the rest of the week?

[Chris Cody]

Play Friday, I believe was the other day.

[Tony]

We wanted you, you know, as a real journalist says, as someone. Who are you?

[Greg Cody]

Are you. I know you're looking at me, but you're talking to somebody else.

[Tony]

No, no, I'm talking to you. I have other responsibilities. I have other things I have to write. I have a column I have to write. Wednesday I have an interview with Mario Cristobal later in the week.

[Chris Cody]

Later in the week.

[Tony]

That's probably Thursday for an advanced column on. On the biggest game in. In the history.

[Chris Cody]

But you're getting them again. We just got him like a week ago.

[Tony]

But now I'm getting. Getting them. You know, fresh stuff, different questions.

[Billy]

Let the adults speak in this one.

[Chris Cody]

Different long winded questions.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, I know you're not talking to me.

[Billy]

I'm not talking about you. I was talking about this other interview. This other interviewer. You know, there are people interrupting shenanigans, hijinks, a. Plenty. Yeah, get his questions out.

[Tony]

I know Christopher interrupted me, but.

[Billy]

Sorry, I was alluding to.

[Tony]

It's all good, it's all good. But the point is three times, you know, I do have a full time job. So three times a week in here, as much as I'd love to, is just a tall ask.

[Mike Ryan]

Where did you get that shirt? Did someone get it for you? Or you went. Did you go to a store? Was this an online purchase? Did you watch Modern Family one day and you said that's me.

[Chris Cody]

The shirt where you like go in blind and then just pick stuff.

[Tony]

Where did you go? I've always liked Paisley. Not Brad Paisley. Not a huge fan of his.

[Greg Cody]

No one thought that.

[Billy]

Why not?

[Tony]

A little underrated.

[Billy]

But wait, he's underrated.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can we get a clarification on what your opinion is of Brad Paisley?

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, please.

[Dan Le Batard]

Confused. It seemed to be contradictory. What is he underrated? Is he overrated? What is. What is your status right now? Because it was confusing.

[Billy]

Properly rated.

[Tony]

I just wanted to throw a Brad Paisley.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, I know you did. It's the Kornheiser move of get over 65 years old. Somebody says a word, somebody says, I love that guy Kevin.

[Tony]

Love. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's a good line. Well done by you. You're learning, kid. Let's listen.

[Mike Ryan]

TJ Maxx, we went.

[Tony]

My wife talked me into going on a disco cruise a couple of years ago.

[Chris Cody]

Swingers cruise.

[Tony]

Well, whatever you want to call it. And she said, dress accordingly.

[Greg Cody]

How you feeling about that microphone?

[Tony]

Talking to it. I'm talking into it.

[Mike Ryan]

So you. You went to buy a disco shirt. Where'd you. Where'd you buy the disco shirt?

[Tony]

I don't remember. It might have been. Might have been Target. Might have been.

[Chris Cody]

First of all, you didn't go. Mom got it for you.

[Tony]

She might have gotten.

[Billy]

Of course she did.

[Tony]

Right? She might have nothing.

[Chris Cody]

You have not shopped for clothes at a store in decades.

[Tony]

I bought a pair of walking shorts.

[Billy]

Boom.

[Tony]

Before my Vancouver trip. Right?

[Chris Cody]

Hell, yeah, those shorts.

[Dan Le Batard]

So, shorts. What do you think makes them walking running shorts? I guess they're all running. That there are running shorts.

[Mike Ryan]

The opposite of a running short.

[Greg Cody]

I. I think you got those sitting down shorts.

[Tony]

They're not cargo shorts. They're dress shorts.

[Dan Le Batard]

Chris, I'm going to give you an assignment, okay? An assignment for content. I would love to go through your father's drawers drawer.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Le Batard]

Because he's got to have underwear in there that are older than both of his sons.

[Chris Cody]

This would be a good bit like.

[Dan Le Batard]

If you went through his. When you ask. I cannot imagine the last man, the last time this man purchased socks or underwear for himself.

[Tony]

I get underwear for Christmas every year. I ask for it on my list. Santa brings me underwear. And, you know, I'm decades over the tighty whitey. All I have now are boxers. You know, Hanes. The. The. The brand of choice, quite frankly.

[Billy]

Boxers or boxer briefs.

[Tony]

Boxers, I believe. Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

He goes jail boxers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Walking boxers like the cloth ones.

[Chris Cody]

He goes boxers like, not the tight ones.

[Tony]

I have the best boxers since Ali.

[Billy]

Is that so?

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Billy]

To say, Jake, Paul, now, in reference to good boxers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg, Chris, do me the favor of just rummaging through some of your dad's drawers to see what kind of old stuff you can find in his house. What else is on your Christmas asks every year where you ask Earlene to make sure and just replenish things that you need that you don't know how to get on the Internet.

[Tony]

I generally ask for a pair of blue jeans, a pair of black jeans.

[Chris Cody]

Don't worry about the microphone.

[Tony]

You know, boxers, maybe a couple of dresses.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why wouldn't we want them in more? Why wouldn't we want him in more days a week?

[Mike Ryan]

It's a credit to how relax he is in that studio.

[Tony]

I'm very particular about my socks. I don't know what the material is, but I like those thin socks. I don't look like a woolly, cottony, heavy sock. I like a thin sock. And she knows. Your mother knows.

[Chris Cody]

Dan's mom knows.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait a minute.

[Tony]

What are you saying?

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you saying? That what my mother knows? What about.

[Mike Ryan]

Ask your mother.

[Dan Le Batard]

Undergarments.

[Billy]

Why do you get jeans every year? I've had jeans for, like, years and years.

[Tony]

I recycle my jeans.

[Dan Le Batard]

What?

[Tony]

You know, some of them barely fit me. I'm retiring them. I'm about to bury another pair of deck shoes in the backyard. Really?

[Dan Le Batard]

You are?

[Mike Ryan]

You have a service.

[Billy]

Wow.

[Tony]

Yeah. Another funeral. That's correct.

[Billy]

What happened with these? Just long life or.

[Tony]

I mean, they have. They have holes.

[Chris Cody]

Bad smell like holes in them. And, dude, I'm telling you, these things, they smell so bad, I could wear.

[Tony]

Them another 10,000 miles, but I just don't want to.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, he does everything. He does yard work in them. Like, he does everything in these shoes. The smell after, like, a couple months.

[Tony]

Only when they get wet.

[Billy]

Right.

[Chris Cody]

But don't let them get wet.

[Greg Cody]

You got those yard work shorts?

[Tony]

I have yard work shorts, yeah. Yeah. Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

So Greg Cody, for the uninitiated, has the feet of a gargoyle. He often wears leathery deck shoes without socks. And his son is correct when he says. Says he'll do yard work in those shoes with those gargoyle feet. There will be a swamp of water in there, not absorbed by the socks. And he will wear those shoes for 30 years until he buries them with a Shula Gy at a shoe.

[Chris Cody]

And then he'll leave them in the garage like they're wet. So he'll leave them, like, in the garage. And then, like, hours later, you'll walk into that garage and just like this musty smell of just like, oh, the shoes are in here. You walk into the garage and you're like, there's wet deck shoes somewhere.

[Billy]

Where are they?

[Tony]

It is a musty smell.

[Billy]

What, are you gonna take them into the house, leave them out in the rain? I think Greg's doing the right thing.

[Chris Cody]

Don't do yard work in them.

[Billy]

Well, I mean, if anyone would, you know, abide by datter day, he wouldn't have to do the yard work. But no one. There's never a datter day that's observed in the Greg Cody household. So he has to do his own yard work.

[Tony]

Still waiting for that. I'm still waiting for a dter day.

[Chris Cody]

I went over and helped you guys with some stuff recently.

[Tony]

What'd you do exactly?

[Chris Cody]

I think it was on a Sunday.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Do I helped you guys with your mailbox project?

[Tony]

No, you did not.

[Chris Cody]

No, I didn't help you.

[Tony]

I hired somebody to do that.

[Chris Cody]

No, I'm not talking about building it. I'm talking about moving stuff like. Like in the pre. Before. Like helping you get the mail from the mailbox. Oh, I. I've helped him do. Don't let him paint a picture. What did you do exactly? Cuz you can't really say what you did.

[Billy]

What did you do?

[Chris Cody]

I moved like the stuff he was using as his mailbox into the garage. What does that mean?

[Mike Ryan]

Stuff he was using?

[Greg Cody]

You're being really coy about that old mailbox.

[Chris Cody]

A mailbox box on like a TV tray table.

[Tony]

I did.

[Chris Cody]

Held up with pieces of plywood. Like that's what he had for like years.

[Mike Ryan]

So what I did was I got a picture.

[Billy]

You moved a TV tray table?

[Chris Cody]

No. And the plywood next to it, like helping it stay up.

[Greg Cody]

I helped.

[Mike Ryan]

Seemed like a big job.

[Chris Cody]

Sorry the project wasn't bigger. I went over to help him.

[Tony]

It was only after I. I got my new mailbox professionally installed.

[Chris Cody]

It was funny though that my.

[Tony]

My neighbors dared make fun of my tv. TV tray table that was up there for like three years because nobody would help me. Three years? Yeah. It was up there a long time. I know. Yeah. Three years. I think. I think we're coming up on the third anniversary of me asking for a dad or day.

[Billy]

Yeah. How many have you had?

[Tony]

None. Zero. Wow. Zero. Now I gotta hire a landscaper. I just had a driveway done. Now I gotta.

[Chris Cody]

You wanted me to do your driveway?

[Tony]

No. But now I gotta hire a landscaper because none of my sons will.

[Mike Ryan]

Will.

[Tony]

Will help their dad.

[Chris Cody]

Driveway does look good.

[Tony]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Your wife is the head of a giant law firm. Why is she getting her mail on a TV tray that's embarrassing to the neighbors? Because her husband is a total incompetent. But then she has to watch him go out there in those shoes with those gargoyle feet to the TV tray to pick up mail he doesn't understand about documents that he doesn't understand.

[Tony]

I get the mail, I bring it in. She never has to go out to the mailbox.

[Dan Le Batard]

You are a 70 year old toddler with shoes that stink up a garage that is so old. I didn't know there was a smell in there that wouldn't be from like a crypt that something like your garage. Your garage is. It has been a place with rat.

[Tony]

Problems in the distant past. Norway. Rats.

[Dan Le Batard]

Your garage.

[Chris Cody]

That door like memory.

[Dan Le Batard]

Remember that door has looked like that since I was a teenager going over there.

[Greg Cody]

Like he.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know what he does around the house. He drinks Miller Lights in that garage. That is his. That is his haven.

[Chris Cody]

But that's where he listens to his podcast like five times on a Sunday night.

[Tony]

I listen to it twice.

[Chris Cody]

You'll just hear like from the living room. You'll hear it just playing in the garage. His own voice. And it's dark.

[Greg Cody]

You walk out there.

[Chris Cody]

It's just my quality control. That's Miller crushing Miller Lights.

[Tony]

Listen.

[Chris Cody]

Giving drunk notes to me.

[Billy]

And Yeti. Why is listening to his podcast and giving notes a bad thing before he's published multiple times?

[Dan Le Batard]

Because they have to go to the garage order to get the notes. They've got to go to the garage. The. The garage out of saw. The original saw. Not when they started getting budgets. The original saw.

[Tony]

It's a normal garage.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is not.

[Tony]

It's fine.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is absolutely not. I disagree.

[Tony]

Cluttered right now, but it's fine.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's been cluttered my entire life and your in the entire life of the garage. And again, I'm surprised that there is a smell that can knock out whatever the other smells are in that garage given the amount of junk that's in there. We should go on a tour of this garage just to have the things. Have Greg Cody take us through a tour guide experience on the museum. That is his guitar. That is his garage. Like, I. I don't. What, what, what do you think is the weirdest thing we would find in there? The oldest thing that we would find in there. There's probably something in there that's been there for 40 years, right? Your pair of your underwear.

[Tony]

No, no, not. I don't know about 40 years there. There's a. Too many things to name in there.

[Chris Cody]

I can picture like a dolphin's chair that you used to like, fold up that you would bring to like the orange bowl to like sit there in, like the 80s.

[Tony]

Yeah, no, I think there's a, A. I think there's a dolphin chair in there that dates from the Expansion era.

[Billy]

Oh, okay.

[Chris Cody]

I just always have seen that chair over there and I'm like, what is this?

[Tony]

I think it's something that my father or mother gave me that's been in there for decades. Howdy, folks.
