[Greg Cody]

Shadowing it.

[Chris Cody]

Chris, is there any reason that Jessica isn't wearing the. I don't know what that was, the blanket that she was wearing out there, because evidently it's cold here. But it's not cold. It's not really winter. But it often feels cold in here because in the humidity, we've got a lot of equipment that make it necessary for us to keep things a little cold. Is there a reason she can't wear that indoors?

[Billy Gill]

I'm going to make a ruling. Go ahead, Jess. You can wear it.

[Chris Cody]

Well, Jessica, are you routinely taking that off? Are you? I know you're often cold around here, but I did not know that you were toughing it out every day, playing in the cold elements without. Without a blanket.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm okay right now. Yeah. It's back to warm outside, so I'm wearing sleeveless tops again. So it's a little bit of an adjustment when you go from outside to inside.

[Billy Gill]

We had a good winter.

[Chris Cody]

It was good. We did.

[Dan LeBatard]

It was a nice like 3 weeks I was wearing sweaters every day. Now it's summer again.

[Chris Cody]

The blanket looks really comfortable. It's important for a blanket. It doesn't seem like a cheap blanket. It seems when it, it. When I'm looking at you out there, I was jealous. Of what? I'm not cold. I'm not warm. You just seemed in a cocoon that seemed comfortable.

[Dan LeBatard]

I can bring it in there. It's very. I mean, it's comforting to have a blanket on.

[Chris Cody]

Okay. Chris, this is a bit of a fire drill today. You may have heard Greg Cody laughing in the background. We've. We've gotten super bowl week off to a rough start. Billy Gill is out of commission. He has had come back with stomach pain. He was fully functional to attend Billy Gill day at Cartersville, Georgia over the weekend with his Family. He. Super bowl week starts, he's not available.

[Billy Gill]

He had to push his flight back. Like, it's. He had to go to the doctor.

[Chris Cody]

It's legit.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wait, this is a real thing? This isn't you making this up. He's actually sick.

[Billy Gill]

He has a virus.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm gonna text him. I didn't know you mentioned it yesterday. I was like, okay, this is a setup for something.

[Chris Cody]

Jessica, I don't know how I make this a ruling from on high. But all questions about is it a bit? Isn't a bit. Is it not a bit. Off air. Never on air, please.

[Dan LeBatard]

Coming from you.

[Chris Cody]

Off air, Please. I just know. So I can't make the ruling. Oh, please. Okay, so that may explain why I have a leadership problem around here where I'm trying to make a ruling.

[Dan LeBatard]

And yes, you explain why you have a leadership problem as you are the leader.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I am. I feel absolutely like the hot dog meme pointing at each other.

[David Sampson]

You know, These are terrible stars.

[Chris Cody]

Hello, David.

[David Sampson]

I've got a dirty blanket to my left. It's. It's gross.

[Dan LeBatard]

Not my blanket.

[David Sampson]

And now we're talking about leadership this early.

[Chris Cody]

Well, we've got Billy Gills out. Mike Ryan was supposed to be here, but something requires his emergency presence in New Orleans. We have a lot of people who left for New Orleans, so David just did. Nothing personal. And I think he did it into his pen. I don't think we had. For all the equipment we're trying to keep cold around here. I don't. I don't think we had anyone here who could work on it.

[David Sampson]

It's true. I had to do it on a laptop into a random camera without a mute button. And the people in the control room were yelling, but it wasn't. You couldn't even be on the show. There were no cameras.

[Billy Gill]

I'm looking forward to today's show. I don't want to do this in the shadow show, but in the regular show, I need to tell you guys about before the show, when my dad asked me how to get a haircut.

[Greg Cody]

That was supposed to be a private conversation.

[Billy Gill]

We're not getting to that now, but that's just a little tease for the show.

[Chris Cody]

How to get a haircut.

[Greg Cody]

Well, just the. The yings and yangs of it.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know what that means.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, it's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

[Billy Gill]

Please talk into the mic.

[Greg Cody]

I'm talking into a mic. The world's most giant microphone.

[Billy Gill]

Bring it closer to your face.

[Gabe]

God.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Chris Cody]

How Are you still an amateur at 70?

[Greg Cody]

I'm not an amateur, I'm a professional. The haircut thing is just the numbers thing, the fade thing, you know, you started a two and go to a four. Like how's that work?

[Chris Cody]

You're 70 years old and you don't know how to get a haircut?

[Greg Cody]

Well, I've just begun doing that. You got to keep in mind my first haircut was my dad putting a serum cereal bowl over my head and cutting around it recently.

[Chris Cody]

Is that true?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Up until like two months ago, my dad would always just say take a little off the ears. He never worked in the numbers of like this is what I would like on the side.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Billy Gill]

I had to teach him that. And talking to the microphone and now.

[Greg Cody]

Oh me.

[David Sampson]

Oh, that was.

[Billy Gill]

That was a good joke.

[Greg Cody]

Nope.

[Chris Cody]

I see fat people.

[JerBear]

Pelinka on the trades though. Luka being fat got him traded by Nico Polinka calling up and tell him see ya bro go to Dallas, be the hero. Super suit like Frozone. What's up with all these motherf ing Lakers trying to seem competent. The whole damn legal hate em em all in this drama. How many teammates now LeBron I mean there's too many options. Feels like every hall of famer but John Stockton. But what about Luka Doncic and weight watching Sometimes he's gonna and score 60 certified MVP. There's no one else can score with him walking down the whole court. The mav's got some fear in them walking in smoke he and sick can smell the beer on him say like you can get him young you don't have many fix so we'll take one and Anthony Davis and Max Christie get the jazz involved, get call up Danny. So tell me why we're treating AD like a song white side. It's because Luka is playing like a goat, right? LeBron got a weird case. Why is he around? Lakers gotta trade LeBron make it right. Call him Riles. Pop pop, pop pop pop Trading for a fox Pop pop pop pop. What you do with a dude who's always tired? Trade him for a picture Right now is a minor. Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic, Luka Doncic.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast. Remind me please, Chris Cody at the end of the show to ask Juju what he thought of that as someone who. No, who actually I'M serious. Just remind me to ask him. I don't want to forget everybody today. I want to gather around and celebrate something I did not celebrate yesterday, which is Happy National Monday. Everyone knows how great it is to have picks day. Just picks, like getting picks. We're all about getting draft picks now. And if you only get one instead of five, you have done it poorly, even though we don't know what any of those are. I want to, before we get rolling today and get into other subject matter, just take a little air out of the tires right now, right off the top. And from Greg, Cody, David Sampson and Jeremy, just get 30 seconds each on everything you've got on Luca. Get it out of your system. Whatever it is you think wasn't said yesterday that needs to be said today and then we will move on to.

[Billy Gill]

Other subjects at the same time.

[Chris Cody]

Well, you know, I'd be okay with that if you actually want to do it that way. Or if you want to keep going after 30 seconds and someone wants to start exactly at the next 30 seconds. I just want to get it out of the room before we get started so we can get on and do a Greg Cody Tuesday and celebrate all things Greg Cody. We're hurting today. Okay, Chris, can you tell me whether that person in the other room who evidently has been working for us for a while, and when I saw him this morning, I'm like, who are you? Evidently we've got a Gabe in the other room because we're down a lot of bodies. I did not know Gabe before today. Gabe, you're miked up. Go ahead, Gabe. Congratulations to all of the people. Okay, so who are you, Gabe? What is your story? I am an editor. Okay.

[Billy Gill]

Good job.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you. Excellent, excellent start. Thank you. Thank you. Good work. One of the best debuts we've ever had around here. Thank you, Gabe. We'll check in with Gabe Cam a little bit later on. Greg Cody, give me your 30 seconds, please. We're going to get to your gala in a second because I can't believe we're in 21 years. And I can't believe, can't believe that Chris Cody said to me that the end of this year's 21st PFPI Gala that you actually said, I think it's time to have a hall of fame.

[Greg Cody]

A PFPI hall of fame? Yeah. The laughter when I said that was ridiculous. Particularly Christopher's wife, my daughter in law, howled laughter as if I weren't serious.

[Billy Gill]

It's because we all know the writing on the wall. Who should Be the first entry into the hall of Fame.

[Greg Cody]

Dad, that's up to the voters. I'm the commissioner. I'm not lobbying for anybody.

[Chris Cody]

David, are you familiar with the PFPI gala? Do you know anything about it? Jerem? Were you guys tuned in on Sunday night when Greg Cody was this interested in showing everybody the insides of his.

[Dan LeBatard]

Greg, I know, but this.

[Chris Cody]

Greg.

[Dan LeBatard]

Greg, just. Just sit in a comfortable posture and then you won't have to adjust the microphone.

[Greg Cody]

Greg, the guy is whispering in my ear, distracting me.

[Chris Cody]

He's just saying, get closer to the microphone. Your son is telling you he's trying. He was waving commands to you in ways that were super distracting to me.

[Greg Cody]

Exactly that.

[Chris Cody]

You're. You sound like you're far away from the microph. You've been doing this for a long time. It's strange that.

[Greg Cody]

Am I close enough to the microphone?

[Dan LeBatard]

Really good.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sound like a better jazz.

[Chris Cody]

It is. If you.

[Greg Cody]

Al Jaro over here.

[Billy Gill]

If you want to spend way better than this.

[Chris Cody]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. Sorry about that. All right. I'm going to eat the microphone for the rest.

[Chris Cody]

All right, David, give me your best 30 seconds, please. That haven't been said anywhere in the world on Luca.

[David Sampson]

It is impossible for me to believe that both LeBron James did not know, but most importantly, that Nico didn't shop this trade. I believe that there were teams who caught on players. We did it every day. You're calling on players you think are untradable, and you call on them and either a deal can get done or not. You do not get one trading partner and make the best deal for your team, Period. So I don't believe them.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, all the other, like, front offices have more or less corroborated that. You think they're all lying?

[David Sampson]

We corroborate anything. I mean, we're so.

[Chris Cody]

But they know the report. The reporting has been done on this. And anonymous GMs everywhere have said, we're shocked and can't believe we weren't offered a chance at the bidding. I don't think everyone's in collusion, lying to us.

[David Sampson]

You have to understand that the GMs are trying to answer to their owners who call them up and say, are you telling me that we were not in on Luca? And then the gym is say, I had no idea. That's not the real world. Because the owner would say to the gm, you didn't call. Just during the course of your day.

[Chris Cody]

I understand your skepticism. Just curious, though. You think, just to be clear, that the truth is so hard to Believe that everyone is in cahoots in unison on lying about this.

[David Sampson]

Self preservation is one of the great tactics of people in the sports world.

[Dan LeBatard]

And you also think no one would have leaked it?

[David Sampson]

No one. This. Did anyone leak this trade? That's why everyone is so. Because no.

[Dan LeBatard]

None of the insiders knew about it.

[David Sampson]

There is no trade where three people know about it. It's just not. That's not. There is no such thing as a deal like that.

[Chris Cody]

We can stay here if you guys want to. I don't actually know when the audience will tire of this. During super bowl week as Stugatz has landed. Are we checking in with Stugats? Because God bless football is about to take over the entirety of this week. If we can get Billy out of the hospital to go do Billy things again. I don't. Do we know if he got sick in Cartersville? Do we know his. Billy Gill Day? That was not. He wanted even fewer people there for Billy Gil Day. It was one of the most awkward things that I have seen. There is the picture of Stugot's landing on Radio Row. He will soon dominate and take over the entirety of the premises. But, Chris, in the history of us doing things, I think this, while wildly on brand for Billy Gill is one of the funnier things that has been done around here, where somebody went to celebrate a day in their name but wanted to do it even more quietly than they did it. So was disappointed, I gather, or I think that 12 people showed up to a banquet hall somewhere in Cartersville. As opposed to three or four. Four people or just one person with a video camera. Billy was looking to make that awkward. Correct.

[Billy Gill]

It's like a weird juxtaposition. Like, the less people that know about it, the funnier it is, but the less people that get to partake in the funny. Thank. Thank you, David. But I'm just saying it's just an awkward thing that Billy did because if we're. If there's cameras there and we get content from it, then it's part of the show. But Billy was just like, no, I don't want anyone there. But luckily we did have.

[Chris Cody]

Hold on just a second, David. You're new around here. All right. Was that fewer really necessary? Like, he's. He's talking and. And I don't see your face. And he's stumbling toward a word and he needs support. He clearly is in need of some buttressing. And you get in there with fewer in a way that just distracts him and makes him worse at his job. Like, why would you do that?

[David Sampson]

Because I hope that's the last time he uses less incorrectly.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it was instructive of. Nice support, David.

[David Sampson]

Thank you, Greg.

[Billy Gill]

How about David talks less? How about that?

[David Sampson]

That's a perfect use of the word less.

[Billy Gill]

Damn it.

[Chris Cody]

For the chalk viewer. How about David talk fewer?

[Billy Gill]

But what I was trying to say before Billy. God, then David's got me rattled. We got. We have video, Dan, of Billy Gild Day. He didn't want our cameras there, but I sent Yeti Block from the Greg Cody show.

[Chris Cody]

Get it together, Chris.

[Billy Gill]

We have coverage of this. Let's play the video now.

[I]

Back in 2019, one of the more fun days of my life was when came up with a harebrained idea about naming a day after somebody who was associated with one of the really the favorite podcasts has become an unhealthy obsession over the last 10 plus years. And up came Billy. So it was a fun day. And since then we've been able to communicate from time to time. And out of the blue, Billy has decided to come back with his family. And I thought there was something that we should do. Mark the momentous occasion. What is the sixth anniversary?

[Chris Cody]

Fade that down. I'm sorry to laugh during the middle of this. I'm laughing because someone just cued me to to my headphones. Two minutes left in. This video.

[I]

Celebrates 20 years of content this year while continuing to be one of the most downloaded podcasts each day. And whereas Billy Gill is recognized as the Guardian's 4th ranked 4th best NFL analyst in the country, if not the world. Whereas Billy is part of the creative genius behind the award winning God Bless Football podcast, which by the way was just named best football podcast in the last 48 hours.

[Chris Cody]

God bless football.

[I]

God Bless Football. In addition to being part of the FIU Football and now baseball broadcast. And whereas Billy.

[Chris Cody]

One minute left.

[I]

AKA Guillermo, came to it like stop.

[Chris Cody]

Just stop. It's lovely. Lovely, funny and 100% on brand for Billy.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is Cartersville, Georgia, right? Do they have a Trevor Lawrence day or did Billy get a day before the star of their hometown?

[Chris Cody]

Well, Billy certainly got it before the star of their town because he got it like six years ago. This is the anniversary. He's returning for the anniversary of this. Trevor Lawrence was barely a sparkle in Clemson's eye.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think he won the national championship six years ago against Alabama. But that's fine. Dan.

[Chris Cody]

Close enough.

[Dan LeBatard]

Semantics.

[I]

This Friday, January 31st of 2025 as Billy Gill and Family Day in the city of Cartersville. And I encourage all the citizens to celebrate and welcome them as they enjoy the menu.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute. Lewis just yelled three minutes at me. How did that get longer? Out of nowhere.

[Dan LeBatard]

The best part of this video is what Billy is doing throughout it, which is just like absentmindedly looking out of the window and not knowing where he's supposed to be focusing his attention.

[Chris Cody]

I will say that sinking deep into the Awkward and Greg Cody. I don't know. He may have learned this from Greg Cody. 21 years of the PFPI Gala is a beast.

[Greg Cody]

We use the hard A.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, sorry. The idea that Billy would be hearing his resume given to all and he would have his hands in his pockets and be shuffling around looking at the floor a lot because his wife and daughter are there with him. He spent the weekend there. And I think in Billy's ear he's. This is going on too long. This needs to be. I'm fully embracing the awkward. I need the awkward to be 90 seconds instead of a minute and 20. Whereas this can't be still going on. This can't. This can't be still happening. This can't. You've got to fade that down now. Therefore, I'm asking you, get that out of here. Get it. I cannot. This.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is cute. What's the problem with this?

[Chris Cody]

No, no problem. It's wonderful. No, it's. It's wonderful.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, yet he just edit next time.

[Billy Gill]

What's going on on the other side of that drape? Because there's like. It seems like the room was cut in half.

[Chris Cody]

And it's a great question. It's a peloton class.

[Greg Cody]

It's weird. Plus, Billy's dressed like he's about to go duck hunting. I want to make make clear that that beautiful expert video is courtesy of the Greg Cody show podcast. We actually sent a special correspondent to Cartersville and on my latest podcast episode, we actually interview the throng of nearly a dozen fans was there and we interviewed.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, really?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. And we really some of them. Yes.

[I]

While continuing to be one of downloaded POS podcast.

[Chris Cody]

This can't be. This. This just can't be. Still going.

[Greg Cody]

It's real.

[Chris Cody]

So your trafficking office. You're smart about this. Your producers do good work. So you are going to have the exclusive interviews with all parties involved on what Billy Gilday was at Cartersville, but it wasn't. Billy only attended the sixth. Right. This is the sixth anniversary. Sort of. It's not even the right week, I don't think, but sort of. But he didn't attend the first. Did he or did he? I don't remember. He did, right?

[Billy Gill]

Yes. He was up there for the original.

[Chris Cody]

Billy Gilday, but not for any of the others.

[Billy Gill]

Correct.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, so what?

[Billy Gill]

As one does celebrate the first and.

[Chris Cody]

Sixth, do you want to tease anything from the episode of the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody?

[Greg Cody]

Well, we get into the controversy of. Of. Of who. What?

[Billy Gill]

That wasn't Sam. My dad looked at Samson like that was his correction. Just Dan playing the hits.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, oh, oh, okay. We. We.

[Chris Cody]

Greg, you are. Hold on. You're on fire today, buddy.

[Greg Cody]

Listen, terrible.

[Chris Cody]

You're. You're on. Well, Greg is getting confounded. Look, look, I will tell you that as soon as the Shadow show ended, as soon as it ended, Greg Cody looked up, disoriented by the lights, and just said to me what happened. Because he was still talking, right. And he didn't realize that he doesn't know quite where he is. I don't know what's happened here this morning. Have you taken any medication?

[Greg Cody]

No. Well, my normal array of pills in the morning, yeah, they're kicking in now, though.

[Chris Cody]

The reason I worry about your health is because I said the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, and for many years, you have corrected me. You didn't even hear it. You just launched into, you know, saying podcast things, promotion.

[Greg Cody]

Because not used to you mentioning my podcast.

[I]

Took time to visit. Celebrated Billy gil Day on January 31st of 2000.

[Chris Cody]

All right. PFPI. The PFPI Gala. 21 years, right?

[Greg Cody]

We've always pronounced it gala, not gala. It's just an annoyance to me when somebody mispronounces that.

[Chris Cody]

It's the same as David Sampson with fewer like you.

[Greg Cody]

Just. That's a grammatical thing.

[Chris Cody]

Well, but you guys are just wanting. You're wandering around doing janitorial work on corrections like. Well, you guys, I have been told in the past, because I have been guilty of this. If the person knows what you meant to make the correction makes you an asshole like that. To assume that that's a teaching moment for someone or that someone wants that teaching. I would have assumed I would want that correction. I would want to know that I had gotten something wrong so that I don't keep getting it wrong.

[Greg Cody]

You're welcome.

[Chris Cody]

But it is a. It's a personality type. And most people would say that's asshole in behavior, if you know what they meant. You don't correct them.

[David Sampson]

No, because he makes his living with a microphone. And we're trying to uphold the standards of. Actually of intelligence, not of babbling, no matter what is going on. With the show. You don't want to mistake less and fewer.

[Dan LeBatard]

You think the point of the show is to uphold the standards of intelligence.

[David Sampson]

I do, actually. I think that's why it's such a popular show. And I think that's. That, that's the beauty of the show is that we are actually smart people.

[Billy Gill]

We do that. Good.

[David Sampson]

Do this show.

[Chris Cody]

Greg, Cody, you. You're in agreement with this.

[Greg Cody]

With what in particular?

[Chris Cody]

To correct the words that were just spoken. The conversation. You know what? You know what, Greg? I'm going to just kick you out for a second. Allow you to gather yourself because you're not. You're. No, you're not, you're not. You're. Minor penalty. 2 minutes delay a show, you just don't know where. I don't know what's happening, but you haven't been prepared. I don't know if you're disoriented from a different seat, but you don't know what's going on when you say what. It's what we were just talking about. Like, all you have to do is listen to the previous several things. Okay.

[Greg Cody]

And you're continuing to mispronounce the name of the PFB gala. I'm simply wanting to correct you.

[Chris Cody]

I want to know all about the gala, but you need to leave for two minutes.

[Greg Cody]

Okay?

[Chris Cody]

And thank you for being here.

[Billy Gill]

Bring in Gabe.

[JerBear]

[Greg Cody]

As a woman faking pain, I I didn't think that sounded real. I really didn't.

[Chris Cody]

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

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, you can spot a woman Faking it.

[Chris Cody]

Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I can. Jess expert. I've been married 40 years.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Lebatar show with the stugats. Gabe, come on in here. I'm told you have a beautiful voice. Gabe, come on in here. Good suggestion, Jessica. Thank you. Now we've got some real leadership around here. Now, some things are happening to uphold.

[Dan LeBatard]

The standard of intelligence.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you. Gabe, come in here. No pressure. Gabe, just come on in here. And uphold the standard of intelligence.

[Dan LeBatard]

What does he think about Luca?

[Billy Gill]

If Mike Fuentes sees that Gabe gets on a mic before he does, he's going to.

[Chris Cody]

Gabe, sit down. Go ahead, Gabe. I've been told that Gabe has wonderful voice. Gabe, you don't have to put that on. I just need your best 30 seconds on Luca and that trade, and then you can get out of here. Welcome to the company as. As an editor. Go ahead. I'm told you have a lovely voice. I've been told by one person. Really? Okay, so you want it. You want to enunciate, though. You want to. You want to. You want to get in and broadcast and.

[Billy Gill]

Bad spot we're putting Gabe.

[Dan LeBatard]

Taylor's loving this.

[Chris Cody]

Yes. Well. And hating it, because Taylor wants so badly to be in that seat. So, Gabe, give us your best 30 seconds on the Luca trip trade. I think the Mavs choked on that trade. I don't think it was a good trade. I don't understand the whole purpose of the trade. I don't want to hate on ad, but you just gave up a franchise player and gave it to the Lakers. I'm assuming for LeBron.

[Billy Gill]

This guy's a natural, dude. Good job. Literally the worst spot.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you. Thank you, Gabe. Thank you for being on with us. A terrible spot. I purch you and welcome to the country.

[Billy Gill]

I want to see his armpits right now.

[Chris Cody]

Yes. So good work by you, Gabe. You're a rising star.

[Billy Gill]

It took me four years to, like, get comfortable talking on a mic. And as you can tell how comfortable I am now, but. Good guy. If you would have done that to me my first day here, I would have literally shit myself.

[Chris Cody]

Look, we need to speed up the curve because. Yes. You guys didn't speak for years around here. Yes, that's. That is true. I remember Amin coming down, flying in for three years, and trying not to say anything at the wrong time.

[Billy Gill]

Thought he was a Cleveland or waiter.

[Chris Cody]

That is no longer the standard. The standard has been diminished by Gabe because we'll allow anybody to have a microphone around here.

[David Sampson]

We need it better from Greg, it's a short staff today. It's not a crowded room. I thought you would have prepared.

[Chris Cody]

You know what? Help me. Do me a favor. Do me a favor. Go into the penalty box. I need some leadership around here. Go into the penalty box. Get miked up. And I would like you to give Greg the motivational speech to get him back in here and get him to be better because, like, he really is unusually disoriented it today. Chris, even you, who get very frustrated with your father. It's been weird how much he's trailing the show today where he does. He doesn't seem to know where he is exactly.

[Billy Gill]

He came in very low energy. I've been giving him little pep talks in his ear when you're talking, like, come on, I need you today.

[Dan LeBatard]

In the meantime, we will. David, we should have Gabe back in to talk about the spurs trade. I think.

[Chris Cody]

Please, I feel I'm Jessica, like you have risen to straight evil. Like that is like you have learned well. You have learned, learned so well about how it is to just beat up in somebody as soon as doing the Billy roll today.

[Billy Gill]

That is something. Billy just more Gabe.

[Chris Cody]

Stunning. Just flog poor Gabe. Gabe, do you realize that in the history of media, very few people are going to drive home from a workday and revisit, oh, the things I could have said if I hadn't been put on the spot. Like, if I had unspooled in those 30 seconds, something that had, like, mesmerized us, that would have made for instant stardom just like Rose around.

[Billy Gill]

You mention mentioned that someone said he had a good voice. I thought you were gonna have him sing. That would have been a better spot to put him in because he's more comfortable there. I assume when they say he has a good voice, they mean singing voice.

[Chris Cody]

Or do they mean just his voice? Hold on, hold on. I just want to be clear on what your executive producer judgment is.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, that would have been a lot funnier, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, wait, okay. But for Gabe, it may. You may be right. But are you also trying to flog Gabe here and saying. And trying to teach him the lesson early? Hey, show comes first. You singing poorly is funnier pressure to put on you.

[Billy Gill]

And I also think he's more apt if he knows how to sing, to just pull a song out of his ass, then give a sports take when that's not really what he does.

[Chris Cody]

You think that we could have had an America's Got Talent moment where we go viral because all of a sudden what Gabe unleashes stuns the nation because it's such. He's such a songbird.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm being told the YouTube chat is going crazy for Gabe right now. The people demand their king.

[Chris Cody]

Well, we will see. Somebody.

[Billy Gill]

Somebody let me see those armies.

[Chris Cody]

Somebody take care of Gabe right now. I feel so bad for Fuentes. Tell me when it is that I can go, please, to David Sampson in the other room with Greg Cody. Okay, David, thank you. Please just give him a pep talk, because we've got three more hours. It's a long week, and we need a lot of help from a lot of different people. We got sick, People were understaffed. Please give the old man a pep talk. So he comes in here and gives us three better hours than the one he's given us so far.

[David Sampson]

Greg, I want you to think back to when you were young and you didn't have open sores on your arm, and you were totally writing and talking as though you were a professional hall of Famer to be. I want you to channel that and recognize that we need you. We need you at Meadowlark, Dan. Your friend, your mentor. The one who has given you the very platform that you take advantage of every single day. To his detriment, mostly. You need to come through for us in a way. The start was so bad that I would have benched you. Dan wants you to come back strong. Can you do it?

[Greg Cody]

Jesus. Striking me. Literally. He's hitting me on the chin with a microphone. And this guy is supposed to be the professional, by the way. Samson, let me give you a quick tip. When you're giving someone a pep talk, you don't start a pep talk by referring to open sores on their arms when he doesn't have any open sores. You know, I'm having a bad arm life. Granted, that's why I've been wearing long shirts lately, But I am perfectly fine. I'm not disoriented. I'm an oriented person. I lead the. I'm a professional at orienteering, which is a little known sport. I. I am the opposite of disoriented. And. And all I need is an opportunity. I'm no Gabe, but I'll tell you what, you put me behind a mic again, you're gonna get fire out of my mouth.

[Chris Cody]

Yes. Yes.

[David Sampson]

Winning.

[Billy Gill]

Good job, Samson.

[JerBear]

One, two, three.

[Billy Gill]

Brett.

[Chris Cody]

All right, get in here, Samson. That's good work out of you. Good Lord. He hit him right in the face with the microphone and he pissed him off. And those aren't open sores. And I'm not his mentor.

[Dan LeBatard]

They're closed sores. Thank you.

[Chris Cody]

That's exactly right. He's having a bad arm life, though.

[Billy Gill]

He knows what he's doing with the hall of Fame and the pfpi. Right. Like, he's doing it. Like, I just. When he said that, the way the family laughed at him, just. It's my brother's like, you want an award for the award show?

[Chris Cody]

All right, let me have a gala. Let me explain this to Sampson, who might not understand, and please put the video up again, because I do enjoy going through Greg Cody's house. And you don't understand. Okay. How strange Greg's brother is. Greg is very strange. Uncle Dick, though. Uncle Dick did not have an. Erlene. Did not have kids. So Uncle Dick is whatever Greg would have been if he'd been roaming the earth alone and then went to sleep at 3:00 just after having a TV dinner. PM wouldn't know how to take care of himself in any way. Just wouldn't know. He's 70 years old, doesn't know what. Doesn't know how to get a haircut when he leaves the house and he wants to know how cold it is. He blames his wife for not telling him before she left. Like, you understand that your father is a toddler. Correct. And he's got this celebration that he has, and it is a family heirloom. It is a sports treasure for 21 years in the family. Be careful with that hand gesture. What are you doing for 21 years in the family? In. In that room? Right in that room.

[Greg Cody]

And that's just 21 years in the modern era.

[Chris Cody]

What do you mean?

[Greg Cody]

Well, PFPI began in the late 60s. This was actually our 29th season overall, but our 21st continuing season.

[Chris Cody]

When you and your brother were kids.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Fantasy football.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, no.

[Billy Gill]

Always picking them. And my dad claims to have all the records back then, so me and my brother are skeptical of the record keeping.

[Chris Cody]

There's no record keeping. There's no books.

[Greg Cody]

There is record keep.

[Chris Cody]

Is it.

[Greg Cody]

It's.

[Billy Gill]

It's just a list of who won.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, but they're from the 60s somewhere. That. Where is it? In the garage. That.

[Greg Cody]

It's in the archive. The PFPI archive. We're a professionally run operation.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute. There's an archive?

[Dan LeBatard]

Canton.

[Chris Cody]

Google Doc.

[Greg Cody]

No, it's. It's an archive, and we're professionally run. I take my job as commissioner very seriously, even though people love to mock me. It's a family tradition. It's been going on in the modern era since 2004, but overall, since 1968, I believe. And so, you know, I think after all of that history, after all of that heritage, we've had 10 members over the years. I think it's time to honor the. The pivotal members of PFPI in a newly formed PFPI hall of Fame. Now, like baseball, with its hall of Fame vote, we need a 75% majority, meaning we need six of eight current team members to vote. Yay. So will that happen? I don't know. But I'm proposing that. I'm also proposing a penalty for late picks. Every week, just me and Michael, always.

[David Sampson]

Who are you proposing to exactly?

[Greg Cody]

To the. To the membership.

[Billy Gill]

Six other people sitting in his living room.

[Greg Cody]

To the eight teams.

[JerBear]

Who decides who the hall of Fame nominees are?

[Greg Cody]

Well, that's to be determined. You know, you don't know yet.

[Dan LeBatard]

What is the hall of Fame criteria, Greg? And also, I might add, you look dashing in that black button down with the black blazer.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you. I didn't even know this was referred to as. Okay. Yeah, on. On the man.

[David Sampson]

I'm sorry, Dan.

[Chris Cody]

You know what? It's okay. You know, minor penalty, two minutes delay a show.

[David Sampson]

And I have to try again.

[Billy Gill]

I promise, for the. The listeners out there, the house does not look as sad in person as it does in these videos.

[Chris Cody]

That is true.

[Billy Gill]

Actually, like I'm telling you, when you're in the house, don't say, oh, this is a sad room. When I see this on video, it's one of the saddest places I've ever seen.

[Chris Cody]

Because walls the color of jaundice are part of the problem. Walls the color of jaundice, like a liver failure, like of the 80s. The pumpkin color for. I'm not even saying it hasn't been repainted. I just assume that Greg isn't repainted. And so this is a home. Look, I will tell you that wandering through this home, there in the back somewhere, Ms. Pac Man Machine and a pool table, it's like walking through my childhood. But it also hasn't changed all that much. Greg Cody has lived as a comfortable man for as long as I've known him. And there he is, the center and star of his own show, the blazer we were asking you about. Please be careful with that gesture. Get out of here.

[Greg Cody]

What gesture?

[Chris Cody]

Get out of here. Go. Go. Two hours.

[Greg Cody]

Why am I leaving?

[Chris Cody]

Two. Two. Because you delayed the game.

[David Sampson]

Two minutes.

[Chris Cody]

You delayed the game.

[Greg Cody]

Samson delayed the game.

[Chris Cody]

No, it was you delaying the game because you don't know where we are in the show. He asked you about your blazer, and you looked at your shirt and said, I didn't know this was called a blazer.

[Greg Cody]

Right. It was Jess who made that remark. She was complimenting my blazer. I thought she was looking at me right now. I thought, this shirt.

[Dan LeBatard]

You look good now, too.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Billy Gill]

What decade was that rocking chair made in in?

[Greg Cody]

Oh, that's a family heirloom.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, I feel like a jerk.

[Greg Cody]

I had it. Rio. It was your mother's grandmother's.

[Billy Gill]

I should have known that.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

What was her folksy name?

[Chris Cody]

Oh, my God, that's such man. You. You will not.

[Billy Gill]

You don't know her name. You forgot mom's. Mom's name.

[Greg Cody]

No, I forgot mom's grandmother's name. Her mother's name was Mary Alice, but I don't know her. Her grandmother's name. I barely met the woman. I. I literally barely met her. I saw her, like, once or twice, and she passed away. Coincidental. I had nothing to do with it. And so, no, I don't know her name. If it was told me, I would go, oh, yeah, you know, multiple choice.

[Billy Gill]

I do this all the time. It was a multiple choice question. I'd get it.

[Greg Cody]

No, text your mother, ask what her grandmother.

[Billy Gill]

I'll ask for three options.

[David Sampson]

Do you know that 80% of the people cannot name all of their eight great grandparents, and so we are merely three generations away from being forgotten?

[Greg Cody]

Yep, that's a good point.

[Billy Gill]

I was just about to judge my dad. I don't know Nana and Pop's parents names at all.

[Greg Cody]

No. There you go.

[David Sampson]

Well, you're in the 80%, Chris.

[Greg Cody]

I know my mother's side of the family very well. I don't know. I never met my father's father.

[Billy Gill]

You know, my bad. I played that game wrong. I do though. Their names.

[David Sampson]

Okay, it's your great grandparents, Chris. That's. That's the 80%. Not your. Everybody can.

[Dan LeBatard]

My great grandparents names all eight? Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm not gonna tell you, but I know that.

[Chris Cody]

Not gonna take a quip.

[David Sampson]

Privacy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yes. I go over my ancestry with my grandma every time I see her, and she tells me all the family gossip, and a lot of it's not good.

[Greg Cody]

Well, it's great.

[Chris Cody]

Well, I will say that as much as we've made fun of this gala over the last 21 years, I have had conversations with Chris about, like, what's the stuff that you will end up remembering when it is that you talk to the old people about what the Past was. And you do disrespect your father, Chris. You and your brother both do it by not taking this as seriously as he does to him. To him. He views it. The fact that he does this every year for hours. Goes and gets dressed up. Your dad ain't getting dressed up for much of anybody these days. Goes out in the middle of the room and videotapes something so that you can have it forever. Ridiculous though it is as a snapshot for who he is. Your dad is trying to pass this down. And I'm not sure he has anything better to pass down. Like in sports. Like in terms of things he cares about. Quirky. Quirky representations of his personality.

[JerBear]

Right.

[Chris Cody]

Like if you could put it in a time capsule. Hey, who was grandpa? Who was he? Give me something better than this thing and. And put it on the poll juju. What's better? What do you trust more? An archive or a Google Doc?

[Greg Cody]

An archive, for sure.

[David Sampson]

I don't understand. I thought two minutes means you have to get out of the chair. Is it? Do you give him different treatment? Because there's a lot of.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you leadership. You know what? Go on and get out of here.

[Greg Cody]

He is right.

[Chris Cody]

I want everyone to see the snitch in plain sight. So people can see what Samson does.

[Greg Cody]

But then, you know, he looks like a snitch. You look up snitch in the dictionary, you see Sampson's picture.

[David Sampson]

Snitch, not snitch.

[Chris Cody]

Listen, you did snitch. You are right. You upheld the accuracy of the penalties around here. Not a lot of people do it. I was complaining just before the show today. You weren't even there. I was complaining. I'm like, okay, so how many times do I have to tell somebody that they have to pay their grid of costume grid of death penalties? Like, this is going on three years. And I'm not doing this on behalf of me. The audience wishes to have its payoffs. Like, what are we doing every week with the bucket of death if someone doesn't have to come out here and be laughed at? And so I've made it this order several times now and for years. And it's not an order, it's just. It falls flat because nobody's actually in charge of it. Except that anarchist Billy Gill, who is sick with stomach before he goes to the Super Bowl. But not too sick to go to Cartersville, Georgia.

[David Sampson]

You can be healthy when you're on your way to a place and then sick at the place. That's a possible outcome.

[Dan LeBatard]

Is he like stuck in Cartersville Georgia. Where is he at this moment? Chris Cody, Where's Billy?

[Billy Gill]

Billy is concerned. I know he's flying out. He pushed his flight. He's supposed to fly out this morning. He's, like, going to the doctor this morning and is getting medicine and is hoping to be.

[Chris Cody]

These are. These are giant plans. Okay? For those who do not understand how many people just left with Billy Gill to support Billy Gill on what God Bless Football is doing this week on behalf of one of the biggest American podcast that there is at a pretty important time. Billy Gill has done an amazing job with God Bless Football. Billy Gill's reputation producing that pod with ST Beats the Kelsey's beats. Shannon Sharp beats. Dominique beats everybody. Best football podcast in America. This is Billy Gill blowing two tires right before the finish line on a season from hell for him, trying to chase Dugatz around. And then it ends with the punctuation of trying to chase him around this week when all he wants to do is hobnob.

[David Sampson]

There's nothing worse in my head than the bathroom at Radio Row, and Billy Gill is going to need it because this won't go away with antibiotics immediately. And I'm trying to imagine how the route would be back to his room, whether there's time for that or does he have to do the Radio Row bathroom, in which case that's a deal breaker.

[Dan LeBatard]

Completely different perspective for me because those bathrooms are always empty.

[David Sampson]

I'm going to assume he doesn't go.

[Chris Cody]

To the ladies room of Billy Gil.

[I]

Day here in Cartersville. So I have a proclamation.

[Chris Cody]

You kidding me?

[I]

Presentation.

[Chris Cody]

Did he get sick during the ceremony? Did a viral strain run through the room from that nearby peloton class on the other side of the curtain?

[Billy Gill]

Will my dad get it together for this show?

[Chris Cody]

This.

[Billy Gill]

We got three more hours.

[Chris Cody]

We send. Look, it was a good pep talk, and it looked to work, but at this point, you understand what happens here, right? There's a stamina issue at 7, he can give you a burst. He can be great for three or four seconds, but he doesn't have the stamina to bring it for a full show anymore. I'm not going to say he's washed, but he's not in his prime anymore. I defy. You got to be shitting me.

[I]

God Bless football.

And seeing and smelling the freshness of that bouquet as I walk into work every day has me prepared for any hate that Dan may throw my way.
