• Greg Cody: “Both Wimbledon winners are convicted cheaters, dope fiends... it’s an embarrassment to Wimbledon.” (08:20)

Dan challenges the pervasive assumption that steroid use is rampant across all sports, questioning the logic behind believing athletes can outperform others who may be cheating.

• Dan Le Batard: “What sense does that make? I’m assuming that everyone in sports is way out ahead of everybody who is monitoring testing because they have the science and the economy of the science around it. Aren’t you?” (13:22)

Greg emphasizes the dilemma sports fans face when exceptional performances lead to suspicions of doping, noting the lack of transparency in many cases.

• Greg Cody: “You know, if I'm talking about the Wimbledon weekend, that's a major thing with me, is that these two people... everybody's saying, oh, Sinner, the sinner and Alcaraz, you know, rivalry is so wonderful. No, to me, the thing is, both Wimbledon winners are convicted cheaters, dope fiends.” (10:49)

• Stugotz: “You're going for Clark Gable... That's the look I'm after.” (24:20)

The conversation shifts to the surprising revelation that Zach cannot snap his fingers or whistle, sparking laughter and disbelief among the hosts.

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Stugotz]

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Stugotz]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo.

[Stugotz]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow Show. Shadowing it. Shadowing it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just walked into the studio, and as I was walking to my seat, I caught a glimpse of what was on Greg Cody's computer. Greg, do you want to tell the shipping container what just happened or would you like me to?

[Greg Cody]

Well, at least it wasn't porn. No, you can. You can tell it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think I'd like to start the show today, Chris, with you. Just going through your dad's browser history, because I think you guys will be fully unsurprised by what it reveals. So I walk in, and on Greg Cody's computer is a photo of Greg Cody making a funny face. And as I'm coming in, that photo disappears. And I'm like, oh, let me see that again. And I'm like, no, not that tab. The one before it. Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. No, no, the one before it. Greg Cody's Miami Herald column. The one before It Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. All his tabs were himself. All of his tabs were him just checking in on himself in a variety of different ways.

[Greg Cody]

No, I mean, that was coincidental.

[Stugotz]

Chris, you think your dad still does porn?

[Dan Le Batard]

I shockingly vote no.

[Stugotz]

I don't think so either. Or if he does, like, he'll do it like analog.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, there's.

[Greg Cody]

Does porn.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, just that you watch porn, not that you star.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Stugotz]

You got to be careful there.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

When you say do. No, Chris, I knew where you were. Yeah, no, I don't think he does. You don't have to answer this at all. We're just talking around you.

[Greg Cody]

You notice I didn't answer that. Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

There is an age where I would guess that people tap out on that, and I'm going to say that that's Greg Cody's age. Maybe like once a year when the house is.

[Stugotz]

I got to tell you, once the hub was like, verify your age. I'm like, I don't. I don't want to do this. And I just stopped.

[Dan Le Batard]

The verb does is the wrong verb to use when asking anybody about porn. Yeah, that's. You could use any other verb, I think. Well, no stars in would also be problematic. But. But any action.

[Greg Cody]

Ve.

[Stugotz]

Feels.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait a minute. You guys aren't. You guys aren't amused by the fact that I'm not kidding when I say all five of Greg's tabs were just him checking in on himself. It was an inception of his narcissism, like that his computer only exists so he could check in on himself on things he's doing.

[Greg Cody]

Well, the photo you saw happens to be on my YouTube, the Greg Cody Show YouTube channel. And so I have that listed.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just happens to be up.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. So, you know, because my. My new episode dropped this morning, and so I'm tracking how it's doing. That's all.

[Dan Le Batard]

It dropped an hour and a half.

[Zach]

Tracking how it's doing. It's not even 9am yet.

[Greg Cody]

I understand that it dropped at 7.

[Zach]

How many people you believe roll out of bed 7am like, gotta get to that Cody podcast.

[Greg Cody]

Hundreds.

[Stugotz]

You all right?

[Zach]

I get choked up when I think about Cody.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you, Zach.

[Dan Le Batard]

The. The five tabs, though, doesn't strike you as excessive? Like, it doesn't strike you as exc. That every tab we went to before that was just you checking in on yourself?

[Greg Cody]

Look, I'm looking at my tabs right now. I have my dashboard of Miami Herald stuff. I have my Greg Cody show podcast tab. I've got my Twitter account. It's always going to be Twitter to me. You know my Threads account, my Facebook account, my Blue sky account. Facebook, yeah, I do Facebook.

[Dan Le Batard]

We know your YouTube is up there as well.

[Greg Cody]

My YouTube channel is doing really well. Last week we the the family Olympics where I competed against my granddaughter has almost 5,000 views which is good for for my YouTube channel. So it's good. But enough about me.

[Mike]

Hey friends. The summer's here. That means more sun. It means more light. It means more time to do all the things that make summer so special all around the country. And the number one thing that I don't want to be doing all summer is spending hours cooking inside. That's where Factor comes in.

I had some roasted garlic chicken. There was a chicken cacciatore.

[Greg Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Dan Le Batard]

You guys should have seen how proud of himself Greg Cody was as an old timey sportswriter coming in here with finger guns and saying, hey, Dan, Wimbledon won by a couple of dope fiends.

[Greg Cody]

That's right. I love that phrase, dope fiends. It harks back to my ute.

[Dan Le Batard]

You love that phrase?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. I used to read Mad magazine all the time. And. And dope fiends is like one of those phrases that you associate with the 50s and the 60s, the beatnik era.

[Dan Le Batard]

What's your word association? Like, what's the face you picture with.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who do you pick first with with.

[Greg Cody]

The two dope fiends?

[Zach]

Like when someone says, who's a dope fiend?

[Greg Cody]

Oh, a dope fiend implied somebody in the 50s who was on the early side of, like, shooting heroin or something like that.

[Stugotz]

So when you close your eyes, what does the avatar look like?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Zach]

What do you think?

[Stugotz]

Does it look like a specific person? When you close your eyes and think of a dope fiend, do you think of anybody?

[Greg Cody]

No, I don't.

[Stugotz]

Okay. Just a generic archetype.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thanks for playing.

[Stugotz]

Thank you. You're very good.

[Greg Cody]

What are you implying? Who should I be?

[Dan Le Batard]

It's all right.

[Stugotz]

You know what? That's on us.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's always great when he comes in here and all he's got is a phrase like, he doesn't have any elaboration.

[Stugotz]

You want to build out this world.

[Dan Le Batard]

We were trying to work with you, but he just getting confused by your question. This is a fun playground.

[Greg Cody]

Let's play in it with Greg. No, I have more to say about both Wimbledon champions having been. Having been suspended for doping. It's an embarrassment to Wimbledon. And here's the thing about dope fiends. Once they serve their time, it's as if we forget that they cheated. You know, like in the coverage of Wimbledon, nobody says, you know, swiateka is coming back from a blankety blank penalty. She, you know, she used to be the number one tennis player in the world, number one female. Now she's number eight. Why? Because she Missed so much time after doping. Same with Jannik Sinner, of course. The appropriately named Jannik Sinner.

[Stugotz]

This energy for Eck blood.

[Greg Cody]

Well, you know what? He did his time, but you just. But he can't make it go away. In other words, if I'm. If I'm writing the history of Aaron Eclipse, it's not the lead paragraph, but it's certainly. It's certainly mentioned.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just realized that Greg Cody, on a Monday morning after a weekend of porn, that he is like a car that doesn't start so well after 70 years. Like, you're just trying to turn it over. The words don't come. And so he's a professional broadcaster talking about Wimbledon, and it's the first words of the show in sports analysis, and he's like, yada, yada, whatever, whatever. And he just doesn't have the words that he needs to talk about championship sport.

[Greg Cody]

Well, Swiatek, I couldn't recall exactly how long her doping penalty was, but it was scandalous, as was Sinners because they're at the top of their profession and they're both cheating. And so, you know, I don't. That doesn't sit well with me. You know, if I'm talking about the Wimbledon weekend, that's a major thing with me, is that these two people, you know, everybody's saying, oh, sinner, the sinner and Alcaraz, you know, rivalry is so wonderful. No, to me, the thing is, both Wimbledon winners are convicted cheaters, dope fiends.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why? This is coming from the same person who last week came in here and said, I miss the Tour de France having dopers.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I was kidding about that. I mean, that was a joke.

[Stugotz]

No, that one's fine. There are certain sports where it helps.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, yeah, Lance Armstrong.

[Dan Le Batard]

All of them. And certain sports, as in all of them, I mean. Well, I'm.

[Stugotz]

The illusion of it not being there in the NFL, I guess helps, you know.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. Having a Lance Armstrong, by the way.

[Dan Le Batard]

I. I want to do this. Well, Lance Armstrong's got one of the top sports podcasts in America.

[Stugotz]

He does?

[Dan Le Batard]

He does, yes. He's. While he was covering the Tour, what's it called? I don't know. You'll have to tell me.

[Stugotz]

Live Strong.

[Dan Le Batard]

The. The thing that I find interesting about everything that's happened in sports is that you're one of the few still clutching on to this. I think it's become so normalized that everyone thinks that everyone in sports is trying to get some sort of competitive edge, and many of them are being Caught. It doesn't. It doesn't stand to reason that somebody is beating all the cheats cleanly.

[Greg Cody]

Right? Well, that's the problem though, that we've painted ourselves into a corner as sports fans. You know, cal Raleigh hits 38 home runs before the All Star break. And it's natural to wonder, when will he be convicted of doping? You know, what kind of steroids has he been using? I'm not saying he is. He may be as clean as the driven snow. But it's natural to wonder. And that's too bad. It's too bad.

[Dan Le Batard]

But I wonder if many people are doing much in the way of wondering anymore. I feel like all of this has largely gone away. That Wimbledon is. There are very few people doing what you just did with dope fiends.

[Zach]

I don't think about this at all anymore. Like you just mentioned Cal Raleigh. You saying that is the first time I've thought about that this season.

[Greg Cody]

Really think about it. Wow. So it doesn't occur to you that a relative no name player comes out of nowhere, hits 38 home runs on a record pace. And what about him?

[Dan Le Batard]

So are you doing that? Are you doing that anytime that you see anything marvelous? I know Amin got mad at me on LeBron doing unprecedented things at an unprecedented age when I'm not even accusing him of anything. I'm just saying if you have to bet and be right, whether the best people in sports are beating all of the cheaters clean. Do you know how much better you have to be than everyone? That everyone else is cheating and you're doing it right and you're beating all the cheaters, they can't beat you? Like that doesn't make any sense. What sense does that make? I'm assuming that everyone in sports is way out ahead of everybody who is monitoring testing because they have the science and the economy of the science around it. Aren't you?

[Greg Cody]

No. I don't assume Cal Raleigh is. Is dirty.

[Dan Le Batard]

You just brought it up. You brought it up.

[Zach]

You made me think about it.

[Dan Le Batard]

For the most part.

[Stugotz]

You look at that.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's not telling us how to think.

[Greg Cody]

I brought it up because in an age where we're just. It was only one baseball generation ago that that, that the, the biggest names in the. In the league were convicted.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, thank you for bringing that up. Because I will. Thank you for bringing that up.

[Greg Cody]

Video.

[Dan Le Batard]

I will. I will tell you guys that I don't know whether this is happening to you at all. Nor do I know if you guys take any inventory of when some of your patterns and habits had changed. For example, I don't know if many of you have any idea when you started using the telephone to simply text that you didn't use it, or as a computer, but never as a phone. I don't know if you have a time and place when this happened to you, but somewhere along the line in streaming, I'm going to say in the last four years, five years, as we've changed what we've done around here and how it is that you guys access it, my viewing habits have changed a lot. And one of the ways that it's changed is the YouTube algorithm absolutely knows how to feed me. And so I get caught this weekend in just a flume of Jose Canseco interviews, as you mentioned, steroids. And I'm just looking at multiple documentaries, poorly made documentaries, okay? The documentaries that start with, like seven houses, studios that have horses running. Like, there are seven of them. Some of them are in foreign lands. And you're like, this can't be any good. But Canseco was. It's hard to explain Conseco to people when you think about what we were just talking about, because Canseco brought in the advent of steroids, really did. Standing in right field as Fenway park is heckling him and yelling about syringes and stuff. And he's just making muscles in right field because he was the first one who got to the stuff.

[Zach]

He's just flexing like Hulk Hogan.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. Like, they're all booing him and stuff and he's a villain. But it's really hard to explain to people. One of the documentaries I was just watching was so sad because they're talking to his girlfriend and what she's saying makes it clear that three minutes later they're going to break up. Like, what she's saying to the camera about, oh, he's just a baby without baseball. He just cries and doesn't know how to do anything else. And he just reminds me of almost every Cuban man I've ever met. And it was just a Cuban meathead. Had 40, 40 in baseball. And it was majestic. He just didn't know what to do. Like, the man was a toddler and he's like, let me date Madonna. He's just running around as just Cuban meathead. Tony, your father, his friends, my father, his friends, they all loved Conseco.

[Stugotz]

I know the archetype.

[Dan Le Batard]

They loved Conseco.

[Stugotz]

16Th street, by the way, in Southwest.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's named after him.

[Stugotz]

That street anymore.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, no, they took it down. That's right.

[Stugotz]

Used to be dopamine.

[Dan Le Batard]

Think about how few chances the Cuban American male has had to have one of his fellow meatheads at the very top of a sport. What got us there? Dope feet. Like there was no way to it. Like he stunk compared to Tardible and Palmero. How did he get ahead of him? He's been using steroids since he's 25, and he's been using it for 25 years. And now he's on camera talking about, I have no sex drive. I can get no testosterone on my own. My body has forgotten how to make.

[Zach]

I mean, when I. When I was a kid. So we're talking like late 80s. We can say, can Seiko. He came off as a superhero. As a kid watching baseball, he. He was like so much cooler than everybody else. He was a superhero. If you were a kid.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's strange, though, to see how much baseball bodies have changed, that he was the superhero. And now look at Aaron Judge. And I don't think people are assuming Aaron Judge is on steroids. I think they think that he naturally comes by till now, that physique. You think most people know that the Rock is on steroids? Do you think because he denies it and he's. He's in his 50s, no one looks like.

[Stugotz]

You're sounding like you're an authority on this matter. I said. You just said he denies it. But you think. You said. You think most people know that the Rock is on.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look at him, is what I'm saying. Look. Just look at him. He's 50 years old. People don't look like that at 50 years old.

[Greg Cody]

Hold on a second. Time to throw away the journalistic credibility and get reckless here is something we like to call reckless speculation. You're good. Thank you, dad.

[Dan Le Batard]

Good enthusiasm there. Takes a while for the car to crank up in the morning.

[Greg Cody]

What makes you think he's on steroids? That guy right there.

[Dan Le Batard]

I see that some people are surprised recently by the total disintegration of the liver king, whose entire story unraveled as soon as people found out that he was denying steroid use, even though, again, I think it's a credible accusation to just say, look at him. You don't look like that.

[Stugotz]

Spent like 30 grand a month on steroids.

[Dan Le Batard]

30 grand a month. While denying it the whole time. And now he's just. Well, not that he hasn't always been on the. On, off the deep end, but now he's talking about killing Joe Rogan and has just gone full lunatic because they've taken his. What was his identity? Do you know who the Liver King is?

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Zach]

I don't like that guy.

[Greg Cody]

Should I?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, you'd have no reason to know that. No, there's. But I just assume if I'm looking at somebody who's over 50 years old and they look like that, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that that's not natural. And that's not. Because he's eating egg whites. That's. That's not. Or liver. No.

[Greg Cody]

Is that the Liver King?

[Dan Le Batard]

That is the Liver King, yes. Because he claimed that he looked like that by just eating liver. Just eating meat. Mortals.

[Greg Cody]

My ancestors used to eat liver all the time. Nana Doogie, I'm. I'm not even saying this as a joke, but. But it's real. Like, I grew up, chicken liver was all over the house. Like. Like, I love chicken liver. Not so much. The other Nana used to eat all. Any animal liver. She would eat it. I confine myself to chicken livers, which were really good. You know, I. I endorse liver.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why'd you stop? What happened? Like, it sounds like. It sounds like you retired it without knowing.

[Greg Cody]

I really do enjoy it.

[Stugotz]

I love how he gets. He just pulls away from the microphone and he's just talk.

[Dan Le Batard]

Gotten so much worse. And. And, and what's funnier about it as it gets worse is I can't help but smile because look at how patchy that mustache is. This is Weeks.

[Greg Cody]

Don LeBatard.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, imagine if someone told you you couldn't have a Corvette. Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

I'm a grown ass man who's not. Who's not filthy rich. I can't afford a Lamborghini. Well, I probably can, but that's.

[Stugotz]

Hey.

[Greg Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stug.

[Dan Le Batard]

How does Arlene feel about the fuzz on the top of your dead upper lip?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it's funny you should ask that because I. I talked to her about that on the Greg Cody show podcast, which dropped today, just a couple hours ago.

[Zach]

So many downloads already.

[Stugotz]

9, 13. Just hockey sticks.

[Greg Cody]

Suffice to say, she does not approve of my mustache.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, no.

[Stugotz]

But there's a means.

[Dan Le Batard]

Spoiler alert.

[Stugotz]

It's a means to an end because it's socially accept acceptable when you have a pencil thin mustache to diet. So that's the plan here with Greg, that it's not just going to be grown for you to see. Apache mustache. He's going to go full Arthur Blank, Full Clark Gable.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why are you doing this?

[Greg Cody]

Mike actually brought it up a couple of weeks ago and I'm like, that's.

[Stugotz]

A good look for him.

[Greg Cody]

Why the hell not?

[Dan Le Batard]

Clark Gable.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, like Vince McMahon. He looked great when he did that.

[Dan Le Batard]

He really is. You're giving, you're giving Greg this advice. You're doing it with a straight face from out from under your ridiculous mustache.

[Stugotz]

Ridiculous? It's not ridiculous. It's just mustache. Good looking stash.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is.

[Stugotz]

I saw an Esquire article. It's a Summer of the Mustache.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show. And I may be outdated making fun of these things because I know how popular they are and with young people, but just put it on the poll anyway. At Lebatard show, is it redundant to say the words ridiculous mustache? He really is starting to look like Arthur Blank. Like we should do a side by side.

[Mike]

Like is.

[Greg Cody]

No, I'm going for Clark Gable. You know, I'm trying to attract.

[Zach]

Go for whatever you want.

[Stugotz]

Yes, just go for it.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, I just don't think a lot of people are doing that particular mustache. For example, he's mentioning Arthur Blank. We first discovered that mustache 15 years ago. There have been no newcomers on that front. Clark Gable had retired it because that kind of mustache I don't believe is something that had been in style in any way. Who are you emulating? Right.

[Stugotz]

Love that he Sees a photo of Arthur Blank with a pencil thin mustache and he's like, yeah, points to it. I like that. That's a.

[Greg Cody]

That's a good looking man.

[Stugotz]

It's distinguished.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that. He does look like an actor from the 50s. Yeah, he really does. That's the look I'm after. But don't judge the mustache yet because it's not fully grown.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, we haven't dyed it yet.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I mean, I don't. I can't grow a beard in a week and a half. Like. Like some guys can, you know, it takes me a while.

[Dan Le Batard]

Might be. Might be helpful if you became a dope fiend. It might. It helps things grow faster.

[Stugotz]

Well, that's the thing. Like, it's dangerous. You got to get like a full body scan before you do the hgh because it grows everything that's in your body. So if you. Cancer cells like that's multiplies here.

[Greg Cody]

That's not good. That's my man right there, Greg.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's the preview. Okay, so when you're looking at that, that's not yet up on the TV screen for the viewer.

[Stugotz]

Our video team has kind of followed his cadence and knows to immediately put it on the main feed now.

[Dan Le Batard]

Clark Gable and Arthur Blank both look more regal than you do. They have ties. They have a distinguished sort of dignity that. No offense, I don't have it either. I don't have it either.

[Stugotz]

The picture isn't. And to hear this coming from Dan is just absurd.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just, I just mentioned I just.

[Stugotz]

Started wearing collared shirts six months ago.

[Greg Cody]

I know, right? He still wears T shirts and you know, thinks it looks good. It's okay. It's fine.

[Stugotz]

I mean, look how good Vince McMahon looks there.

[Greg Cody]

He looks great. Yeah, no, he looks fine.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you for bringing up Vince McMahon. It allows me to segue seamlessly into some of the stuff from the weekend in combat sports. Can you look up for me, please? I want to get to some Conor McGregor sound here in a second. Now, I don't think Conor McGregor fought since 21. I. The sport. UFC misses him desperately because it doesn't.

[Stugotz]

See socially acceptable when you have a pencil thin one to got to be on the lip. Yeah, you gotta diet. And people like, don't hold it against you if you're gonna go for that. That type of look.

[Zach]

That guy's crazy looking.

[Stugotz]

Sean Waters.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, that's John Water.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who is that?

[Greg Cody]

Avant garde director.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is a mustache, though. That is way too close to his upper lip and it does not have the proper proportion to the nose. The mustache needs to be centered. It looks like it has been put up by a carpenter who's no good at putting things up correctly. That needs to go in the middle. It doesn't. It doesn't. But you're going for. You're going for what? You're going for Clark Gable. You're going for 60s movie star. Because you. The. The. Back in my day, music was cued because you started talking about Mad magazine. And I wanted to ask you. Magazine that.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, well, Mad used to. They still publish Mad magazine. You know, the magazines never quite go away. You know, People, Life, they're all still around.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not true in any way. Magazines go away all the time. Like, what are you talking about?

[Greg Cody]

But they still publish, though. They have. It's like newspapers. They still publish, but they also have an online thing you can. Like Rolling Stone's another one. I happen to subscribe to Rolling Stone online. You can actually, actually get the. The magazine.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you positive that Mad magazine is still printing? You're positive?

[Greg Cody]

I am as sure as I can be without really knowing.

[Stugotz]

You're on one today, Greg. Yes, Mustache Greg is different.

[Greg Cody]

I'm semi positive. Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. Because I can't imagine that Mad magazine is selling well, very, very well anymore. But I wanted to ask Mike specifically because I. On Hulu, I was watching. I haven't gotten through all of it, but a documentary about Wayne Rooney and his wife Colleen Rooney's court case and situation where allegedly a teammate's wife was revealing some of what it is, was on Colleen Rooney's Instagram privately, and the betrayal ended up in the court system. But the thing that it got me to thinking about is tabloids, because Wayne Rooney had some bad behavior in public, had some bad behavior with drinking. And I was surprised that he participated in this documentary. It's three parts about just how crazy it was in this situation to be Colleen Rooney.

[Stugotz]

Wayne Rooney, by the way, is the same age as Ronaldo and Messi. Those are his contemporaries. But he hasn't played in like a decade, basically because of how hard he went.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, he was a partier. And it was pretty clear from this documentary that there's one Wayne Rooney when he's not drinking, and then another one his wife doesn't recognize when he is. But the thing that it got me to thinking about, I don't know if this is still true in England, what Greg Cody is saying about tabloids, newspapers, et cetera. I imagine in England, tabloids are still a big deal still now, today, whereas I don't think of New York anymore as that being a big deal. Do I have that wrong in no longer thinking that it matters at all to play in New York City because the tabloids are mean? Have things changed so much in how it is that we cover things? And as the newspaper becomes such an artifact that the tabloid city and the tabloid pressure is no longer a thing in the United States? I think it's still alive in Britain.

[Stugotz]

Well, it's different and I have to check, but I think what happened around Princess Di kind of changed the laws around there. They have very strict libel laws over there. Slander is a big deal. If, for example, and this has happened several times in World Football, a player will get arrested for a sexual assault allegation, they'll get processed through the system and their identity, there's some online hearsay, but it's kept secret. When people go through these things, largely they do so in private over there because they're sucked such strict liability laws.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, this, this, this getting to a slander case was kind of amazing because Colleen Rooney was taken to court for simply accusing on Instagram, a teammate's wife of leaking her private Instagram photos.

[Zach]

I would assume that. I think you're right about the New York tabloids in the sense that I think social media has probably taken some of that away because it's not just like, hey, New York tabloids, it's crazy to play there. It's kind of like that everywhere in this country now because of social media.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, put this on the poll. Giudra at lebatard show. Has social media made. Has social media made tabloids or has social media replaced tabloids?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, like the. Just what you're talking about right now. When I was working with Chelsea, we kind of had to follow the UK governance and there were certain issues that were open fodder on social media by the Chelsea fan base and you could not discuss it because of the liability.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, this is the poll question I meant to put up. Has social media made every sports city a tabloid city?

[Greg Cody]

I still think of New York as the exception to the rule. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but I think the Post and the Daily News are what they've always been. They still have the crazy, funny headlines. I think when you go in the New York City subway, it's still fairly common to see people reading a tabloid. Now, I haven't been in NYC subway in a couple of years, but I think it's the exception.

[Zach]

I think sports radio still plays a major role in that regard. Up in New York City.

[Dan Le Batard]

But tabloids. When I think of tabloids, it made me wonder whether or not that is a thing that could even happen in the United States anymore. The thing that happened in Britain. Because I believe the tabloid wars still keep people competitive like crazy, whether there's rigorous slander laws or not. Do you guys agree that Arthur Blank looks like the mayor and the arch villain in every DC comic movie? Both the mayor and the arch villain. Do you believe that he looks like the famous prized art thief who gets persuaded by his old crew to do one last heist?

[Stugotz]

Yes. I love that. It's always one last one.

[Dan Le Batard]

Does Arthur Blank look like at any minute he'll steal 101 Dalmatians? Does he look like a retired vampire who trains young up and coming vampires so he can give back to the community? His house does. If. If I told you his house was haunted, you wouldn't be surprised, right? If it. If I told you his house was haunted, he knew it and took pride in it, you would not be surprised that either. Correct.

[Stugotz]

Several rooms in his mansion that have chairs that have sheets over it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sheets? I thought we went with plastic. And we put an actual knight in the house in armor next to the grandfather clock. That's. That's the grandfather clock. Does not work.

[Stugotz]

Now. Plastic couches don't give off haunting. Yeah, sheets though.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, sheets do.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sheets give off haunting more than we.

[Stugotz]

Don'T drape over the chair we've draped over the furniture in this haunted room.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that's the set of the Addams Family is what you're describing. One of the great shows of all time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Every time.

[Stugotz]

And a paper thin mustache in that one.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, one of the great shows of all time, huh?

[Greg Cody]

It is the Addams Family.

[Stugotz]

I put that one on the pole. I think you're gonna have some buy.

[Greg Cody]

In the Adams family. Da da da da da da da da da da. Good snapping. That was.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, do you not see how many right now? Your fingers zaslow.

[Zach]

I don't know how to snap.

[Greg Cody]

What? What?

[Dan Le Batard]

What do you mean you don't know how to. You don't know ever? Everyone knows how to snap their fingers.

[Zach]

I mean, like, I guess. I guess I know how to, but like, I can't do it.

[Greg Cody]

Try. Yeah, that's bad.

[Stugotz]

You're in the wrong way. Yeah, you gotta go this way. It's the finger that hits the palm that makes the noise, not the thumb.

[Zach]

I'm trying.

[Stugotz]

Getting warmer.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is crazy that you don't know how to do that.

[Zach]

Yeah, I can't snap you know, I can't blow bubbles either, Bubblegum. All my friends, like, when we were in school, you know, in middle school, elementary, they would blow their bubbles and I'm like, I can't do that.

[Stugotz]

They were having so much fun.

[Zach]

They look like it was fun, like it pops, you know, gets on your mouth sometimes. Not me.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's simply shocking to learn that an adult human being I've known for a very long time does not know how to snap his fingers.

[Stugotz]

Got some idiosyncrasies to your game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lebatard show. Put it on the poll. Do you know anyone who doesn't know how to snap their fingers at Lebatard show? According to the Internet, apparently 67% of people can snap their fingers.

[Stugotz]

That's actually shocking.

[Zach]

I can't whistle either. I don't know how to whistle.

[Stugotz]

Really?

[Dan Le Batard]

That's. Man. What if it's a perfect day? What if it's a perfectly cold day? Do you think you can do it a little bit better? You don't know how to whistle either. I don't know how to whistle either.

[Greg Cody]

What?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't. Are you an expert whistler?

[Greg Cody]

I can whistle the Cody's whistle. Yeah. My dad used to whistle all the time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dick Cody.

[Greg Cody]

He'd walk around with a hand and a whistling.

[Stugotz]

Dick.

[Dan Le Batard]

Please tell us Uncle Dick will whistle in his backswing during golf.

[Greg Cody]

No, he has. He has done that. He literally has done.

[Stugotz]

It's got to be hilarious to watch.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is.

[Greg Cody]

Every time we're like, he also hums in his back.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, he'll just be up there like.

[Stugotz]

I'd venmo you like 30 bucks to watch this.

[Greg Cody]

People don't snap anymore. They don't snap, they don't whistle, they don't humor.

[Zach]

Finally I'm fitting in.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. I mean, people don't. That's a lost art.

[Dan Le Batard]

People are doing it less for sure.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, It's a lost start.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll, please. At Lebatard show. Is whistling a lost art?

[Greg Cody]

It absolutely is.

[Dan Le Batard]

[Greg Cody]

Don LeBatard I heard that as a woman faking pain, I didn't think that sounded real. I really didn't.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, it was not fake. It was in no way fake.

[Stugotz]

You can spot a woman faking it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I can. Jess Expert have been married 40 years. This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

I heard the other day, something after we spoke about July 4th and the dangers of July 4th and how it is the most dangerous day in America where people get hospitalized and hurt. I heard a Bill Polian interview where Bill Polian was talking about during his executive days that he and all the other executives would just wait by the phone all weekend knowing that somebody was going to get in trouble, something bad was going to happen, a player was going to have an issue of some sort. The firework incidents usually take a few days to arrive. You don't hear about it on July 5th, so I don't know. Did you guys see what happened with Najee Harris where I read it and I'm like, fireworks accident, eye injury. And I'm like, oh no. Like, what does that even mean? I immediately hear that and I'm like, fireworks accident, eye injury. How bad is that? And I was also surprised to learn, although perhaps I should not have been, that the Pittsburgh Steelers were done with Najee Harris. That that happened very quickly. I thought he was useful. I thought he was good. I thought they were very limited offensively for reasons that didn't have to do anything with him. And then the running back is disposable, so they don't want just keep paying that, that contract after it has expired. And so a first round pick I thought was pretty good for them. Serviceable is now so expendable. Tony, did he sign a one year deal?

[Stugotz]

He's, he's in LA now. He's a charger, for those that don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Signed a one year deal.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Approve it deal. Obviously. Obviously they've had a couple of guys come in and out that have had those prove it deals like J.K. dobbins last season. They said the I, the injury was superficial, which I didn't really understand.

[Zach]

He's gonna be really ugly the next time we See him like, he's gonna.

[Stugotz]

Play, but it was superficial. It's like, z eyelid ripped off. Does he have an eyelid to close? Like, what's going on?

[Dan Le Batard]

But the Chargers would rather have what happened than a knee injury?

[Greg Cody]

Well, it depends. I mean, if you lose an eye, it's. You know, that equals a bad day.

[Dan Le Batard]

I really don't think we have to do comparison shopping on what the Chargers would prefer to have.

[Stugotz]

Want to hear him do the math, though? Like, what kind of knee injury is it?

[Dan Le Batard]

How bad would the eye injury if.

[Greg Cody]

It'S a torn ACL collateral? Now, we all. We rate injuries, right? Like, an Achilles is worse than a torn.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, we do rate injuries.

[Greg Cody]

Right. So what, am I backing away from the mic again? This guy's obsessed with the microphone.

[Stugotz]

This guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

I wish you were a little more.

[Greg Cody]

I do what I do.

[Dan Le Batard]

Speaking of fireworks, I will tell you guys that you will not be surprised by this. Okay? So I told you guys that right before July 4th, I was just driving past one of those giant firework places, and I'm like, yeah, I'll go in there. And then everything was two for one or three for one. So I leave with just my arms filled with fireworks. The visual of you walking out of that store. I wish we had security cam footage, but like I said, they asked for my license and stuff, so I'm legitimately now driving home with a car full of explosives.

[Zach]

I like the idea of someone seeing you walk out with your arms full like that. Levitar gets after it on fourth of July.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. So I go in there, and I just got. I got $130 worth of fireworks, and it was an enormous amount. Okay. But then July 4th came, and I was a little scared. I'm not kidding you. Another visual I'd like to see. Well, wait. Wait. Wait till you see. Wait till you see where and how my fear escalates and where it goes, because.

[Zach]

Do you plan on shooting it off your balcony?

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, here's the thing. I did at one point, but then I realized, no, this is. These are. These are explosives that are going to leave char all over the balcony. Like, they're. I can't. These are explosives. Like, I can't do this off of my balcony. Any of my balcony. And I. And so I tell my wife, I'm going to go to the park, and she's like, don't do that. And she's. She's like, you're going to get arrested. And I'm like, what? For being too patriotic? I'll go to Jail. That would be a headline.

[Greg Cody]

July 4th.

[Stugotz]

Too patriotic. I would go bail you out.

[Dan Le Batard]

But. But so to balance out the narrative around you. So she says, don't do that. Don't.

[Stugotz]

You did on July 4th.

[Dan Le Batard]

And she's also looking through them and she's like, I think these fireworks stink. There's something in there called the Disco Turkey and stuff.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Whisker Dos Whisker Don'ts. So I go to the park, all right, And I just take the smallest one, the very smallest of the explosives, and I light the fuse and I walk away.

[Greg Cody]

Walk away. Power move.

[Dan Le Batard]

What happens next is such a bombardment of neighborhood machine gun fire and smoke that I run out of the park because I don't want to be seen by anybody. Oh, my God. In a neighborhood where woke up, stop. Like, I get to my car, it's still going. It's just. And anybody who's listening this. Because it's like seven days after July 4th. I didn't do it on July 4th. I thought this was on the 4th. No, no, this. I was too scared to do it. And so I did the smallest one. The very smallest one. And it was such a rat. A tat tat of like 90 seconds of neighborhood machine gun fire on an otherwise tranquil sunny afternoon that I immediately came home and gave my fireworks away to a couple of my friends. Your firework friends? My teenage. They have teenage kids? My teenage kid friends. But yes, my fireworks friends.

[Greg Cody]

Wait a minute. You shot off fireworks in the afternoon?

[Dan Le Batard]

I did, yes.

[Greg Cody]

Who does that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, I needed a park that was empty. I needed a park that had no people in it.

[Stugotz]

This is so strange.

[Dan Le Batard]

Most people wait for people to be.

[Greg Cody]

Around, like, and wait till nighttime so that you can see them.

[Stugotz]

You just feed it for the fireworks alone.

[Dan Le Batard]

5Pm on a Saturday.

[Zach]

You're a fireworks fiend.

[Stugotz]

Need it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I needed to test the smallest one and it frightened me. So I cannot. I cannot imagine what the Mississippi missile does because that was a big ass box that had a bunch of rockets in it that I believe that I could take out an area code with.

[Greg Cody]

Fireworks are dumb.

[Stugotz]

So dumb.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, my God.

[Stugotz]

I love them, though.

[Greg Cody]

I'm with them.

[Stugotz]

I don't know. I don't.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're also.

[Stugotz]

What's the appeal?

[Dan Le Batard]

Male.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, I guess that's what.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's all it is.

[Stugotz]

Light something on fire, watch it explode.

[Greg Cody]

You lit fireworks? You lit fireworks.

[Zach]

I know.

[Greg Cody]

I'm in. Damn right you are. Well, don't say fireworks are dumb.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, they are. Like, I'm looking at myself.

[Stugotz]

We like dumb things or dumb movies that we love.

[Dan Le Batard]

Speaking of which, the algorithm also has me, like I told you guys last week on shark stock, and I'm just getting a bombardment of the celebration of jaws at 50 years.

[Stugotz]

Dude, same. You know, there's a great white shark in a lake. Nowhere is safe. These killing machines are everywhere. Can you believe that? That movie is 50 years old. 50 years old. And yeah, the practical effects maybe not hold up these days, but the terror does. It's really, truly one of the greatest, most impactful movies of all time.

[Dan Le Batard]

We talked about this the other day. It's the best horror movie of all time, if it classifies as horror. But I'm going to give you a handful of facts that I've learned. I think you're going to find all of them interesting. Okay. Steven Spielberg was in his 20s when he made it. Panic Attack. So far over budget and didn't know how to make a movie on water. Thought he'd never work again. Feared the entire time that he was going to get fired and thought that he would never have another job.

[Zach]

Did he have anything else under his belt at that point?

[Stugotz]

Nothing big.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nothing big. He was in his early 20s. Also, the sharp shark didn't work 80% of the time. They had three sharks and they built it in fresh water and it immediately started breaking when they used it in salt water. And can you imagine this? I'd like to see some of the outtakes. It would all often come out of the water tail first, which would. Which would screw up the movie. But you can imagine how hard it was to make something that looked that realistic because it's before any special effects, they had to do everything on the water for real. It was not only the first blockbuster. Mike, I could think about how truly.

[Stugotz]

Was the first ever summer blockbuster?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, well, it.

[Stugotz]

50 years ago. What a time, Greg, especially for you. Miller Light was invented and John the same year.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. No, I remember that movie. Watching it in a theater with Miller Light.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm gonna say something that has to be viewed as shocking and yet I don't think any of you will disagree. A shark movie is responsible for the single most famous music ever to appear in movies.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, I think so.

[Greg Cody]

Ahead of Star wars ranks up there.

I think so. It makes you feel something. If someone plays that music, there's something foreboding, there's something bad that's gonna happen. It's instantly recognizable.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

50 years later.

[Stugotz]

Incredibly simple too.

[Dan Le Batard]

For mute for 50 years later. For music like that to endure from a shark movie.

[Greg Cody]

I hate to say it. I don't think Jaws holds up that well. I think it's a very fake looking shark. I thought it was then. Don't get me wrong. The scene is scary, but it's fake. It's like going to Disney World and their version of a shark coming up out of the water. I just, you know, I don't think it was well done. It was for the time.

[Stugotz]

You don't think it was Jaws was well done?

[Greg Cody]

No, not that.

[Stugotz]

You don't think Steven's a movie that we're talking about for 50 years.

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Stugotz]

Was well done.

[Greg Cody]

The. The fake looking shark was almost laughable, if I'm being honest.

[Dan Le Batard]

Under that mustache.
