Podcast Summary: The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Episode: Local Hour: Greg's Final Wallet

Date: March 31, 2026

---

Episode Overview

Broadcasting from the Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and their crew deliver their trademark blend of sports talk, local flavor, and irreverent pop culture banter. This “Local Hour” centers on stories about squatters, South Florida sports oddities, baseball traditions, wallet nostalgia, and, of course, Greg Cody’s neverending lexicon of catchphrases. The show navigates the absurdity of real-life events (like Dan’s squatter), dives into Miami Marlins and Heat analysis, and highlights the art of offbeat broadcasting—most notably, the Spanish-language Marlins rally rooster.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dan’s Squatter Saga and the Mystery Couch

• Dan opens with a recap of his home being invaded by a squatter who was nearly able to take ownership due to “squatters’ rights.”
  • “Florida's actually pretty good about getting that out of the court system.” (Dan, 00:47)
• The crew is captivated by the audacity and processes of squatters, including cheap furniture showing up post-eviction—most from the Chinese company “Timu.”
• Stugotz dares Dan to invite the squatter on the show:
  • “You would have balls the size of grapefruits if you invited your squatter for an interview.” (Stugotz, 03:25)
• Colorful speculation ensues about the squatter’s tactics, including whether he hid in the house undetected.

2. Greg Cody’s Wallet and Fine Bucket Rituals

• Greg is faulted for his ancient wallet and penalized for computer noises:
  • “How long you had that wallet, Greg?” (Dan, 04:55)
  • “Probably 10 to 15 years.” (Greg, 04:55)
• The “fine bucket” segment gets heated as Greg tries to pay a $5 fine with a $100 bill, leading to much mockery and negotiation.

3. Marlins Talk: Cowboy Entrances, Cheap Ball, and Fashion Grievances

• Spotlight on Marlins pitcher Chris Paddock, who made a “new sheriff in town” cowboy-style entrance in hat and boots…then surrendered eight runs in four innings:
  • “You can't come in this way.” (Dan, 07:14)
• The Marlins’ low-budget approach is lampooned:
  • “He's their third highest money player. That's how much budget ball they're playing.” (Greg, 13:40)
• Mike Ryan goes on a sartorial rant about players’ non-uniform accessories:
  • “They're losing recipes… if you're gonna wear equipment that's funky, use an alt color. What is this? We're losing recipes.” (Mike, 08:50)
• The group mourns the “losing of baseball tradition,” poking fun at change and aging into the “boomer takes” zone.

---

4. The Rally Rooster Phenomenon & South Florida Sports Traditions

• Dan expresses delight and surprise at discovering the Spanish Marlins broadcast’s soundboard and “rally rooster”—a sound effect summoned during crucial moments:
  • “I did not know there was a rally rooster.” (Dan, 10:47)
  • “The rally rooster is the best invention in baseball.” (Greg, 12:07)
• They analyze a game where broadcaster calls for the rooster, followed moments later by a walk-off home run—leading to debate about superstition, tradition, and humor in broadcasting.
• Comparison to other regional and MLB rally traditions (rally monkey, muscle boy, Pepas song, etc.), and whether the rooster will catch on.

---

5. Greg Cody’s Catchphrase Countdown: Nostalgia, Self-Involvement, and Absurdity

• Examples include:
  • “Where's my click click?”
  • “Hey, Butterfinger.”
  • “I'm Fullerton. Vern Fuller.”
  • “Don't go showering to try to please me.”
• Origins range from pop songs to spontaneous idiocy—discussion ensues of what makes a catchphrase popular if you only say it alone at home.
  • “Can you have a popular catchphrase if you always use it alone in your house?” (Dan, 30:40)
• Hilarity peaks with a cow’s udder digression:
  • “Cows have like… What do cows have? Six udders? Six or eight?” (Greg, 33:20)

---

6. Miami Heat Analysis: Outlasting the 76ers & Embiid Fatigue

• The Heat notch a rare win over the Sixers, grinding down Joel Embiid, who looks exhausted (“walking up and down the court five minutes into the game”).
• Discussion on the Heat’s notorious “turd quarter” collapses, resilience, and Bam Adebayo’s defensive annoyances for Embiid.
  • “Bam always gives him problems, right?” (Mike, 39:44)

• The crew debates Miami’s up-and-down offensive profile, Spoelstra’s reputation, and the Heat’s tendency to relinquish double-digit leads.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Marlins' fashion anarchy:

Tone and Style

The conversation is fast, self-referential, and chaotic—typical of the show’s Miami-centric, joke-stacking manner. Greg Cody’s self-involvement and lovable confusion, Dan’s sly needling, and the crew’s tangent-prone banter fuel an episode full of local color and inside jokes, but always circling back to surprisingly sharp sports and cultural critique.

Transcript

[A]

Do you consider yourself self aware?

[B]

Not really.

[A]

Do you think you're nosy?

[B]

Yes. Inquisitive would be the word I'd use.

[A]

Okay. No. I have found you to be someone who over time is nosy. My lifetime. But I didn't think that you thought you were nosy. I have felt off of you for about two weeks that you're dying to ask me questions about this squatter.

[B]

Yeah, I am. And the whole idea of there's actually a phrase, squatters rights. The idea that somebody who invades somebody else's property and because they do somehow have some rights to stay there is just beyond me.

[A]

Florida's actually pretty good about getting that out of the court system.

[C]

Thank God.

[A]

But I was hours away from not being able to get into my house because the doorknobs were changed. Because I found the doorknobs. Doorknobs in the house. And they were ready to be. I was ready to have a discussion with police where I didn't have the keys to my house. And then that's how it ends up in the court system. And that's how it ends up with free rent for however long. I'm actually. I want to talk to this person. I've got a bunch of different questions. I think it'd be great content. I'd just be welcoming something that is a little bit crazy and each session into my life. After Manu last weekend, though, 10 days after this, what arrives at my house? A couch.

[B]

Free.

[C]

Nice.

[B]

Congrats. Is it a nice couch?

[A]

No suede.

[B]

Naugahide. What do you got?

[A]

Yes, Naugahyde.

[D]

It's a nog. Oddly enough. It's a naugahide couch.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

I thought he said nalga hide.

[A]

I was like, oh, that's a $5 fine for you because your computer just made a sound and it beeped the fine Bucke back in play alive. And so let me see the cash. Do you. Do you have cash on cash?

[B]

Who carries cash?

[E]

You can bet on that.

[B]

20, 26.

[E]

Oh, it's not on video. My bad.

[A]

You just did your cross eyed Cash Patel impersonation, not realizing that you're not on camera.

[E]

Which by the way, a crime that we did not have that on the topic board. Cash Patel. What a week he had, huh?

[B]

Woof.

[A]

Are you talking about his girlfriend or something else?

[C]

Something much more important, Dan. Something much more important.

[F]

Oh, you don't know about this? Dan. He got hacked. His personal email got hacked. And so the Internet had all sorts of videos and access to subscriptions that he had he signed up for one on January 6th.

[E]

Attaboy.

[C]

That's not even the worst thing he did this week.

[F]

No, but he signed up to crank it on January 6th. Allegedly.

[A]

What questions do you have about the squatter?

[B]

Well, do you get to keep the couch or does he have any rights to that?

[A]

No, I. I get to keep whatever it is. There were seven packages the last time I was there. There were an assortment of things the last time I was there. I was surprised. This is trickling in on the back end because he. It.

[D]

It's really.

[A]

It's cheap furniture. And what is the name of that? It's company. It's a Chinese company that makes very cheap furniture.

[F]

Timu.

[A]

Yeah, that's it.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I was thinking ikea.

[C]

Well, they're Scandinavian.

[B]

Yes. Whatever.

[A]

That's it. You have no more questions.

[B]

I have a bunch of questions. You should. I dare you. You would have balls the size of grapefruits if you invited for an interview onto this show. Your squatter.

[A]

I'm hugely interested. I've got a bunch of different questions about how it is that he planned to stay there for months because he thought he had found himself a house. And it's weird to me that we didn't run into him earlier than this. It makes me won if he was

[D]

hiding in the house on occasion while we were there.

[B]

Yeah, I think he was a little

[E]

bit of a victory lap by him.

[D]

No.

[E]

To get the furniture before you switched out the doorknobs. Maybe switch the doorknobs first and then you start ordering.

[D]

No.

[A]

Oh, you think he was.

[D]

Oh, he's.

[A]

He's guilty of getting complacent and counting his chickens before they were hatched.

[E]

He was high stepping. He had the ball behind his head, high stepping on his way to the end zone, holding the back.

[C]

I mean, Timoth is very, very long to get from China over here, especially with all the stuff going on straight A Hormuz. You figure out what's the situation.

[B]

Good.

[D]

I don't think it's the straight of her moves that caused that to not get here quicker.

[B]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stu Guts podcast.

[A]

Juju. Put it on the poll, please. At lebitage show. Do you own a wallet, Greg? Cody has pulled out his wallet because he has been fine during The Shadow Show. $5 for his computer going off. He's going to give me that money in a second. How long you had that wallet, Greg?

[B]

Probably 10 to 15 years.

[A]

Will you ever get a new one? No, that's it. Yeah, you're done. You're.

[D]

This is your last. This is the punctuation on your wallet game.

[A]

All right, $5, please, for the hundreds.

[B]

All I got is Benny's.

[G]

The fine bucket is presented by Money Lion. Download the Moneylion app or visit moneylion.com to learn more. Moneylion make money easy.

[A]

Jeremy, would you do me the favor, please, of getting change for this? Because I need to get him the $95, and I need now because I'm finally getting a hold of this fine system after all of these years. No one is getting away anymore without paying.

[C]

Dan, how the hell are you going to find somebody to have 95?

[F]

Yeah, just clarifying.

[H]

I need $95.

[D]

There's. There is already. It's all my money. It's all my. But all you put in is hundreds.

[A]

No, I've. I've put in a number of different denominations, and we finally got the fine bucket under control. I wanted to talk about an entrance last night that made me laugh. The Marlins lose last night to the White. So not enough is made of what we did two years ago where we had a couple of Mets from the 1962 Mets on to celebrate that the White Sox were about to have a worse season than the Mets. And then the White Sox won, like, five out of their last six games, and it didn't actually end up happening. And we did the math wrong. And so the 1962 Mets still have the worst season, but that White Sox team is the worst I've ever seen. The Marlins opened with the Rockies and swept them, and yesterday they get crushed by the White Sox and Chris Paddock. And I want to hear some of this story. Thank you from Jeremy. I want to hear some of the story of Chris Paddock because he was drafted by The Marlins in 2015, and

[D]

he's making his debut 11 years later.

[A]

And he comes into the ballpark really confident with the Marlins, saying, there's a new sheriff in town. He's wearing a cowboy hat. He is.

[D]

They've got the photo of him walking out and getting out of his car,

[A]

where they just take a picture of his boots getting out of the car

[D]

like you see in the movies. And then he gives up eight runs

[A]

in four innings and promptly leaves the field with his nipples on fire.

[C]

I mean, come on. What are you doing?

[F]

It's a White Sox stand. What do you expect?

[A]

You can't come in this way.

[F]

They're really bad baseball team. I supported the Marlins for the first time all season. I got the subscription. I figured out how I dedicated 25 minutes to it, and I finally got the ability to watch the Marlins on TV for the first time in several seasons. I came back from putting my daughter to bed, and apparently the White Sox just have this guy that's allowed to run around the bases all he wants. Like, he can just do whatever with impunity. This Acuna guy. And I don't think that's the Acuna everybody else talks about. Dam.

[E]

Yeah, he's a pretty good player, right?

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

He won the World Baseball Classic.

[D]

Can you walk into the ballpark this

[A]

way and then give up eight runs on in four innings? Tony, you're just saying dress. Dress like you want to play.

[C]

The guy covered comes in with a dually truck. He's got the coat, the jacket. He's got the boots on, he's got the hat.

[B]

You let him do what he wants to do.

[F]

I mean, yes. To answer your question, Dan, this is very much a tree falling in the forest type of thing. If a dude walks into a Marlins game on a Monday dress like that, does anyone notice? They might. If he gives up eight earn runs. And I saw something else in this ball game that really chapped my ass down. Really does, you know, Like, I just found out that the catchers and the pitchers aren't giving signs anymore. We're losing recipes. And now I know that this has been happening for a very long time. And I know Roy has my back here. The first guy that I saw do this was Cesperz. The highlighter arm sleeve. Like, there was a dude on the Marlins that had a gold arm sleeve and a gold belt. Like a gold belt. There's a reason there's a uniform.

[B]

What?

[F]

What? I get individualism. And, like, you have the cleats. You get the day to put on whatever nickname on the back of the jersey. What is this? If you're gonna wear equipment that's funky, use an alt color. You have caliente red right there.

[D]

What? Gold?

[F]

That's not a part of the color scheme. The. The belt set me off. This has been something that's been percolating with me about this sport for several years. But when I saw a guy has the ability to just not use a team belt. What is this? We're losing recipes.

[B]

It's an outrage.

[D]

Used to wear belts.

[F]

Yeah.

[G]

At least when Stan was down here, he wore an orange arm sleeve. At least that matched.

[A]

It's anarchy.

[B]

It is.

[A]

And it should be style points for whomever it is that wants to rattle baseball's cage. However it is that they rattle it. Stunned. That Mike is already the old guy complaining about how the kids are dressing these days.

[F]

Yeah. I don't like how it sounds. I know it's a boomer take. Now, I'm aware that it's been happening for like a decade, right? Yeah. Cespedez isn't even in the league anymore, right?

[H]

That's right.

[F]

But it bothers me and I've been kind of dealing with it because I don't really pay attention to the sport, but I'm trying to get back into the sport and things like that. They're losing me. They're losing me.

[A]

Well, the new sheriff in town. I want to talk about this for a second. Okay. Chris Paddock is on a one year, $4 million deal. They need him to if they're going to do anything this season. And I. I believe they're actually on the right track. We have a couple of things happening with the Dolphins and the Marlins where they're just stripping it down to nothing over years so that they can start the process of rebuilding with young players. But yesterday we missed something. And I'm surprised as the Latin show, that we missed it. We did not do enough with the fact that in the third game of the season, the Spanish broadcast introduced to us because I was not aware before

[D]

this, and I wasn't aware until I

[A]

was driving home that the Spanish broadcast for the Marlins has a rally rooster. I did not know there was a rally rooster.

[D]

I love that the baseball broadcast in

[A]

Spanish that the announcer can go summon

[D]

a rooster sound when he wants a rally, but rarely do you get the rally rooster combination. And then Owen Casey hits the walk off home run immediately after you've summoned the rally rooster. So I failed here in not playing the sound more and recognizing the seismic achievement if indeed the is something the broadcaster only brings out once in a while. Now if he's doing it 20 times a game, that's something entirely different. But on this call, he got it exactly right.

[B]

That's perfect. The rally rooster is so well named, it's more than the alliteration. It's the idea that the rooster stands as a wake up call. It's just a. It's perfect. It kicks the ass of the rally monkey. The rally rooster is the best invention in baseball.

[C]

So, Greg, it's not a real rooster. Just so we're clear, it doesn't matter because the monkey was a real monkey. This is not a real rooster.

[B]

Punch the monkey. It was a real monkey too. And he's faded. You know, he was a big thing.

[C]

Jeremiah was a bullfrog I get all that.

[A]

Are you just. You're just giving random monkey thoughts and that opens the door to that particular judgment where he goes, jeremiah is a bullfrog. Just because you had a monkey thought

[D]

and just wanted you did, you just

[A]

want to show that you knew something

[D]

that happened in pop culture 10 days ago.

[B]

Yeah. And. And there really wasn't a bulldog named Jeremiah. There was a monkey. Well, whatever. Jeremiah was a bulldog. What difference does it make? If you had a bulldog in your house, you wouldn't have had a squatter, but that's an aside.

[A]

All right, guys, I'm just telling you right now, brace yourselves, okay? Because we are in for Cody. The last couple of weeks, okay, there

[D]

have been some places where he's nonsensical

[A]

and he's coming out of the box strong today on just random thoughts.

[D]

Whatever's in his head is coming out

[A]

and is getting spilled at every turn.

[C]

Dan, hold on. I'm going to see if that was the Greg Cody first down. They're bringing out the chains right now. Let's see. Hold on.

[D]

By the way, I believe they got the measurement wrong. Wait a minute. What do you know?

[F]

You're on the sidelines.

[D]

Challenge flag, you guys.

[H]

The Rams of the first down.

[F]

Yeah, everyone's a critic in the Sands.

[B]

You need an ABS to figure out whether that was a first down. Chris Paddock is the guy who was in the cowboy hat, right?

[H]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. You mentioned 1 million. The budget Marlins, $4 million a year. He's there. I could be wrong. He's their third highest money player. That's how much budget ball they're playing. It's Alcantara, obviously, way number one. And I believe Pete Fairbanks is the only other guy making 10 million. So it's unavoidable. You know, I know I'm a broken record on this, but until they start spending money, particularly on bats, they're going to be the team that Clayton McCullough said they were after the opener. I'm in the room with him and he's going, this is the game we have to win all season long. Meaning that just won two to one. Meaning they need great pitching and defense because they're not going to have the bats. And we've already seen that.

[H]

Does it matter to you, Greg, that since June 20th of last year, they're the third best team in the National League?

[B]

It's good. I mean, look, I think they are doing a lot of the right things. Peter Bendix is doing here what he did in Tampa in terms of youth and Trades for cheap guys. But eventually you have to also spend. That's what the other teams do.

[F]

That's right.

[H]

But right now, is there anyone that it would be wise to spend money on? The. The reality is, is that you're still trying to find out who of this court that you've traded for and developed over the last several years. I mean, on opening day you had eight of the nine guys in the lineup weren't actually homegrown draft picks. They were guys that. That Peter Bendix for the most part. There were a couple of guys that were acquired before, but mostly guys that Peter Bendix acquired in the last couple of years. They've developed in those last couple of years and now have brought up to the show. And over the span of the last few months of last year, those guys played very well. So you go out and spend, you know, two years, $12 million on some second baseman on a cell Garcia like

[A]

they did a couple of years ago, right. That's trying to be in this position. This isn't about spending. And we're wandering away from the important, important thing, which is how quickly a walk off home run was hit after the rooster. Sound like this doesn't happen very often this way. The whole thing. Give me the whole thing because I

[D]

want Tony's entire translation on everything that's being said here. Because there's a mamacita in there. This is an excellent home run call. But again, you rarely get. How many baseball broadcasts have a soundboard where the broadcaster can ask somebody, he's asking a producer. I need the rally rooster right now. The rally rooster arrives when beckoned and then so does the walk off.

[A]

So let me see if I have this right. Tony, you are our most authentic Hispanic Spanish language translator. The call kissy can. Okay, no, Casey, I don't understand it.

[C]

So he's like, is it going? Is it not? It's not.

[A]

It is. And then he says, do I have this right? Goodbye, beautiful mamacita.

[C]

Yeah, goodbye, mamacita Linda. That means the ball is out of here, baby.

[A]

Okay, so my question, if I want

[C]

to do the math on the front end of the rooster, right? And obviously we don't have the full context of the game to know what he's calling for. Is it a rally rooster or like you said, had it been played 20 times during the says again, even he

[A]

requests it again, like he says, like.

[F]

Or is it an actual rooster? Because they're common around that they are.

[D]

It is. It is possible.

[A]

You're right about that.

[C]

And like plucking A feather off, headsets

[F]

on, and he just like slaps the rooster on the back. Like, go ahead and give it to him. There's something about college hoops this time of year where you tell yourself you're just going to casually watch one game and suddenly your entire night is gone. That happened to me the other night. I was planning to stay home and keep a game on in the background, maybe pretend I wasn't checking scores every five minutes. Then a text comes in. We've got multiple screens set up. That's how they get you. So I said, yeah. I grabbed a pack of Miller Lite on the way. A little while later, nobody's casually watching anything. Somebody's yelling because their bracket is already cooked. Somebody else suddenly cares deeply about a school they hadn't thought about in 10 years, and a game that looked over is somehow tied late. You take a sip, you look around and realize, yeah, this was absolutely the right move. That's why I reach for a Miller Light. It's clean, refreshing, easy to drink, brewed for taste with simple ingredients. The original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different cheers to legendary moments with Miller Life. Great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com dan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Co. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Hey, Roy, buddy, you know that energy shift when the game gets good and everybody all together in unison knows to stand up on their feet?

[G]

Oh, absolutely, Mike.

[B]

Yeah?

[F]

You've been at many big time sporting events. You know that moment quite well. That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo.

[G]

Oh, delicious.

[F]

It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal. It's when small talk turns into stories. Cuervo, man. It's that high five. A random stranger effect. That's right. The game is popping. You're hugging people you never met before. That's the kind of energy that Cuervo brings. It's so smooth, so delicious. That's the Cuervo effect. Keep it Cuervo.

[I]

What are you reaching for? If you're a smoker or dipper, you could be reaching for so much more with Zyn Nicotine pouches. When you reach for Zyn, you're reaching for 10 satisfying varieties and two strengths for a smoke free and spit free experience that lets you lean in for Chances to break free from your routine and a unique nationwide community. Whatever you're reaching for, reach for it with America's number one nicotine pouch brand. Find your Zyn wherever nicotine products are sold near you. Warning. This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.

[B]

Don LeBatard.

[A]

You don't remember the idea.

[J]

I was probably like, that kind of thing.

[A]

Something.

[B]

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

[F]

Stugats.

[G]

Oh, it's a good call.

[B]

Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz, you know, you don't got to do that. Oh, that would be a great call. Swing. That kind of thing. This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[D]

The. The Spanish language broadcast. Having the ability to summon a soundboard during the middle of a baseball game is the kind of disrespect I'm here for. It's not. Look, Vin Scully would have never done that.

[C]

A soundboard in Vin Scully studio.

[D]

A rooster. A rooster called a soundboard. In general, there should be no sound Dodger rally. They don't call for Dodger rallies. They just go buy Japan's greatest player ever for $2 million a season. They don't have to. They don't do it. The. All of this. I want you guys to enjoy the fact that a Marlins pitcher walked in last night head to toe, a cowboy. In South Florida. We don't see a lot of those. Head to toe, a cowboy. He's walking into a ballpark that had

[A]

how many people in it? Because this is not.

[D]

He's trying to make this the NBA fashion entrance, but he's walking into a Marlins game. He's doing so, and then he gives up eight runs in four innings. And also, there's a Spanish broadcaster who's really lonely up there. Marlins games on the radio, who's just entertaining himself and calling a rooster, which is, honest to God, I like it. But when you got Mike out here complaining that somebody's wearing gold, that's not a uniform color baseball fans generally don't like. Hey, stop with the shenanigans in my broadcast. I don't need a rally rooster. That's not catching on anywhere in South Florida. And I've got the general public wondering, well, Guy Ocho, there might be an actual rooster around there.

[C]

Six of them there before I walked in the stadium on opening day.

[E]

Wait, not catching on. But what if this was the Event that makes it catch on. The guy called.

[D]

He's like Babe Ruth.

[E]

He called the shot.

[B]

And not only that, but it was Casey at the Bat.

[F]

Am I supposed to get that? I want to be there to support you.

[D]

Casey at the Bat is the most

[A]

famous baseball poem has ever been written. And so I didn't get it.

[D]

Casey, that's on us. Hit a walk.

[A]

It is on us.

[D]

It's just that, generally speaking, it is the most famous baseball thing ever written.

[B]

I'm going to say thank you.

[A]

Is it it.

[H]

It was written in 1888. So I can.

[C]

Fossilized reference.

[D]

Sophomore year.

[E]

Greg.

[D]

For sure.

[B]

88.

[D]

For sure. Like, it's like the. It's the original baseball poem.

[H]

Rare that you can have the sentence later popularized by vaudeville performances.

[G]

Also, Casey struck out. That's.

[B]

I know. But this Casey,

[F]

we let you down.

[D]

Put it on the ball at lebaton Show. But he was so proud of it. And he let the silence sit there because he kn. He had a winner.

[B]

Let it sit.

[D]

He knew he had the original baseball poem. Again, 50 years before vaudeville. I'm going to say maybe 60 years before vaudeville, but put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Is Casey at the Bat the most famous baseball thing ever written?

[A]

Because I don't know what it is

[D]

that I would put in second place. Bill James, Baseball Abstract. Like, I don't know what to put second after that.

[E]

Take Me out to the Ball Game.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

But I think of that as a song.

[D]

Fair enough. Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. No.

[A]

And I think of that as the

[D]

first baseball song that came like 50 years after Casey at the Bat.

[A]

I'm.

[D]

I'm guessing Take me. I'm guessing Take Me out to the Ball Game is a full half century after the poem Casey at the Bat, but that. Can we find out more? Can we do some reporting and find out whether the rooster is played 25 times a game? Because in the history of rally things in sports, we haven't had that many

[A]

of them in South Florida.

[D]

What year was the championship?

[A]

Muscle boy?

[D]

Was that 2003 or was that 97?

[F]

It was 97.

[D]

So muscle boy in 1997 is a famous South Florida local sports mascot thing.

[F]

Yeah. I'd argue in terms of sparking a rally that's on the metal stand. It's behind the freestyle clap at Marklight Stadium. Stadium.

[A]

Marlin's man is going to get in here, right?

[F]

Marlin's man doesn't cue anything but himself.

[H]

He's the opposite.

[F]

Yeah. He doesn't. He doesn't start Rallies. He's just there. And Pepas. For a beautiful year span, Pepas sparked rallies in this town. Both the Panthers and the Heat would play it, and those teams would go on runs.

[E]

What about Jay Z and Kanye west in Paris during the Heat run? That was a big one, right?

[B]

Do the Cyclones have a mascot?

[A]

It's a $2 fine for coughing into the microwave.

[F]

Yeah, it's unda.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. How. How.

[E]

How big was the fine otherwise?

[A]

But didn't go $2.

[D]

Make sure to put it in the.

[A]

In the fine bucket.

[B]

I need my money, by the way.

[D]

We're going to get to it in a second. I saw Jeremy wander around here and

[A]

just do loops of.

[H]

Well, because you only put hundreds in there.

[A]

Okay, can we get to your catchphrases, please? And do you have a. Back in my day, I do.

[B]

And we can what? Yeah, it's Tuesday. It's Tuesday. I do one a month now. I did one in January. I did one in February, and I snuck in on the last day of March.

[F]

Just got it in.

[B]

Yes, I did.

[A]

I thought you weren't doing March. You were boycotting it because we let Dave Damashek have a back in my.

[D]

Dave.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You didn't like that with the same

[B]

music, by the way. At least get original music for the guy. I feel bad for Danishek having to siphon my sound.

[A]

The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody is on. What number? When it comes to catchphrases for Greg

[B]

Cody, here's the beauty of it. We're at halftime. Okay? It's a top 50 countdown. And. And the new episode of the Greg Cody show has catchphrases 26 and 25. So the marching band has taken the field. We are celebrating halftime of the double

[A]

C. Do you want to go through them real quick?

[E]

Quick?

[B]

You want me to do all of them? I'll do them quickly because I don't want to belabor it.

[A]

All right, so, yes.

[D]

We wouldn't want to belabor that around here at all. Oh, no, here we go. This. This has been happening all morning. He and I were giggling about, there's no way.

[E]

My cough was $2, and that's a $2 fine.

[A]

That is another fine.

[G]

Greg Cody, you will own the whole thing.

[D]

You're gonna owe the hundred by the end. All right, but let's go ahead and go through. Greg Cody's catchphrase is he's at the halfway point. It's very exciting. Cody show featuring Greg Cody is a very popular podcast, and he enjoys doing

[A]

it with his son.

[D]

Who's not here today because he is

[A]

exploiting our vacation schedule.

[D]

[D]

It came off so strong at the beginning, like you started so strong.

[B]

Okay, you're throwing me out by doing the number.

[D]

45.

[B]

I'm busier in a one arm paper hanger.

[D]

I'm the kind of guy that.

[B]

Hey, hey, with the monkeys, baby. Thank you, Billy.

[D]

I love him like a pet.

[B]

Your brain beating me?

[D]

[B]

Let's go, States.

[D]

34.

[B]

Driver comfort is paramount. Dummy up, save up.

[D]

What is that one?

[B]

Dummy up, parentheses say bup. It's like a duo. One goes with the other one.

[A]

32.

[B]

Catch as catch can.

[E]

31.

[B]

Doesn't make it right.

[D]

30.

[B]

So on and so forth.

[D]

29.

[B]

Very good. Very good. That's my parrot, my rally parrot. When you score the winning run, the whole stadium in unison should go, very good.

[D]

I'm. Well, I endorse that idea. I endorse that idea. How do we synchronize any place publicly where everyone does the very good parrot out of the side of their mouth? 28.

[B]

The Little League Theory.

[A]

That's such a terrible one.

[D]

27.

[B]

Nice hat, asshole.

[D]

26.

[B]

All right, these are the new ones. 26. The others, they all learn from me.

[D]

What is the origin story on that, do you know?

[B]

I do know. It's actually, it's not original to me, but I have purloined it and now own it. The 1985 Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl. They do a hokey but popular at the time video called Super Bowl Shuffle. Refrigerator Perry. All the stars of the day are in it, including quarterback Jim McMahon. And one of his lines in that video is the others. They all learned from me. I took it, gave it a little bit of a sing songy quality and generally say it when I'm alone in my house and the only people who hear it are somebody in a far room or the dog.

[G]

How do you take something from a song and make it sing song, sing song equality. What does that mean?

[B]

Well, Jim McMahon, I believe, just stated the phrase and I went. The others, they all learn from me. You know, emphasis on the learn. You go a little bit deeper. The others pause. They all learn from Me.

[A]

Why are you doing this? Only when you're alone in the house and no one's actually. So it's a catchphrase. Put it on the poll, please. Juju at lebatard show. Can you have a popular catchphrase if you always use it alone in your house?

[B]

Well, Christopher's heard it. He referred to having heard it dozens of times. So I do say it, but generally speaking, I don't say it publicly. I just say it in the confines of. Of the house.

[C]

Greg, what's the context of what you're saying, though? Like you're just going to say it randomly or like something happens, there's a cause and effect that makes you say it.

[B]

I generally say it when I'm proven right, you know, and it's. It's a humble brag sort of vibe to it.

[A]

But you wait until you're alone.

[B]

Sometimes I'm alone.

[D]

25.

[B]

Don't go showering to try to please me.

[F]

All right, I don't like it, but I can't wait for that to pop up in the countdown as we roll all through it. It'll be. It'll hit just the same way that punt does.

[B]

There's also a song related explanation to that one. And the song is. Yeah, the 1977 Billy Joel song just the way you are. And when it, it's. It's really an ode to my wife because whenever she announces, hey, I'm going to take a quick shower, I go, don't go showering to try to please me. Likewise, if she said, I think I'm going to go get changed, I go, don't go changing to try to please me. So that's number 25. We're at halftime of the catchphrase countdown. Thank you.

[A]

I've got to offer you a public apology and a private apology for thinking that that particular self involvement would not provide podcast entertainment. Mike has it. When you were asking Roy the sing song nature of things that is comedically

[D]

perfect because of his. When he throws in change ups like he's not all. There are fastballs, fastballs, fastballs. 104. And he throws an occasional efus pitch. Little league theory doesn't even make any sense.

[F]

I'm the kind of guy that, that,

[D]

that's an excellent one. Like that. That for me is like punt the way he's gotten very good at the musical cadences and now he's a performer. Now he's an entertainer. Now he's. He's playing his personal hits and it's

[A]

in the wheelhouse of his self involvement.

[B]

Yeah. We did two a week because we wanted to drag it out, if I'm being frank.

[A]

Milk it. Yeah, milk it. For maximum clicks.

[D]

Please don't do the milking of a cow gesture anymore on our.

[B]

If I was doing it with one hand.

[D]

No, it's pretty bad doing it. It's twice as bad doing it with both.

[B]

Cows have, like. What do the cows have? Six utters. Six or eight.

[A]

I think it's. Is it. Is it six utters or is it a utter with six or eight nipples?

[B]

Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah. Is it six on a cow?

[C]

That kind of thing?

[B]

Six, right? Six second, I think. Well said, Tony.

[F]

It's definitely one utter.

[D]

Let's never do that again.

[B]

It's the utter one again.

[D]

That voice has to be me. Don't do this again.

[B]

What voice?

[D]

You're for you, but mostly the audience. It's how we age gracefully.

[A]

I think I'm gonna have to get this puppet involved so that you have two different characters to play with so that you can honor the. What you're supposed to be doing with both different characters. One of them who speaks in your voice when reprimanding me. And the other one that was so distracting that I stepped on his utter joke. Just an excellent joke.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

By you.

[B]

Yeah. The other one. 1. Where do you go? You made fun of me once for saying I wanted to get a full size statue of myself. Where do you go to get a puppet of yourself, mate? I'm curious about that.

[E]

Calm.

[A]

I'm pretty sure that they went and got the guy who does the Muppets to do that, I think.

[B]

Oh, my God. That's high level.

[A]

Like whoever it is, that Jim Henson.

[D]

No.

[E]

Is that what they told us anymore?

[B]

Jim? Cost a pretty penny.

[D]

Was Jim Henson the one who physically put them together?

[A]

Because I know Jim Henson divined the

[D]

characters, but I didn't think that he was the who physically did the.

[A]

Whatever it is seamstressing that is required.

[E]

It was his sister. True story. I watched the documentary.

[B]

Was it good, Jill?

[E]

Really good.

[A]

Folks, listen up.

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

This is the Dan lebatar show with the Stuga.

[A]

The Miami Heat beat the 76ers last night and I think the 76ers are formidable if they are a healthy basketball team. It is interesting to me and unsurprising that Joel Embiid gets tired, like gets really tired because he's not, he's not playing the same way everyone else is playing in terms of number of games. He misses so much time. And so the Miami Heat win a game against Philadelphia and it's only their second win in nine tries. We were talking yesterday about how bad their defense has gotten and I mean, I asked you, do you think that has anything to do with Bam being tired after the 83 point game and two weeks? And I neglected to mention and shouldn't have that all of the teams that they've played over that time are very good offenses.

[D]

They're very good teams and very good offenses and they've dragged the heat.

[A]

So it was nice last night to see them slow down Philadelphia some because Philadelphia can put 140 on you in a hurry. And Philadelphia, that first quarter is back

[D]

and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And it seemed to me that Joel Embiid was exhausted the rest of the game.

[E]

Yeah. And then they, he absolutely just Ground them down. If you look at it every quarter, Phillies offense got worse and worse and slower and slower. And this is what I talked about yesterday. This is how Miami wins games. You're not going to win games outscoring the opposition because you don't have the talent that they have. You've got to make it ugly. You've got to pull it down into the mud, which is all. It's all Eric Spoelstra like cliches that I'm saying right here. But that's where they get it, because you don't have the roster talent or roster depth to play any other way and be successful.

[A]

Are you in agreement with me that this late in the season, a season that is too long with a organization that regards itself as the process and has little to show for it other than this player who misses half the games, five minutes into the game, he's walking up and down the court five minutes into the game.

[E]

I mean, like, that's. I think that's testament to the guy's not right physically. And I think, you know, that's kind of been the thing that we've all been eyeing all season long is, hey, as they move or appear to move to a more Tyrese Maxey centered offense, what. How much from Joel do you need in order to be successful? Do you need him to be the Joel that he was when he was mvp or does he just need to be opportunistic?

[H]

The thing with Embiid last night was that he really, after the first quarter, was only operating at the perimeter like he was only shooting jumpers. And then late in the game, he hits a three to go up 107, 103 and starts blowing kisses at the crowd and then immediately has a lazy box out of the wrong guy with one arm. And Bam gets a tip slam. And that was 107, 105. The Heat win. 119, 109.

[E]

Jeremy, correct me if I'm wrong, Bam always gives him problems, right?

[H]

Bam is 8 and 2 against Embiid in the regular season.

[E]

He always has problems with Bam. Bam's activity and Bam's mobility. He forces him to move and run around a lot more than he would like to.

[A]

That game was meant to grind him down and he was spent by the end. I will also say that embiid, because of his size, also bothers Bam. Like Bam. It is fairly rare to see Bam go into the post and get stopped by a single person without the need for a double because he can back so many people in Joel Embiid is going to be what come playoff time?

[E]

I mean, that's the million dollar question. Or I guess 150, whatever. However much money he makes. The idea is that again, can we carry the Sixers? Can we carry an offense without having to rely on him other than than in opportunistic moments? Last night is a great example of probably a night where it's like, yo, I kind of want my other guys to be stepping up and for Joel to kind of just focus on rim protection and rebounding and all those things, because as I said, Bam gives him problems. Come playoff time, obviously gets a little different. You're not doing back to backs, you're not traveling as much, so you've got some time to rest and reevaluate what's happening. But ultimately, ultimately with the Sixers, I've fallen for this movie about four or five times now. If they're not healthy, then there's no point in kind of trying to project how well they're going to do in the playoffs.

[H]

And Paul George looked great last night, like coming back from his 25 games off. His body looks right. And Edgecomb and Maxi, like, those guys were really good. Their energy was there. But the reason the Heat won last night was because they had more energy. And that was on the second night of a battle to back. Like, they were getting all the loose balls, they were getting all the offensive rebounds, and I believe they had 30 fast break points in a game where the Sixers only had six live ball turnovers. That's like, that's a major stat discrepancy.

[A]

The youth of the Sixers, not named Embiid and Paul George, it was fun to watch them on alley oops at the rim. They, the way that game started offensively made me think that the whole thing was going to be played like that. Like that. 157, 137 Bull Sixers the other day. Here's Jaime Hawkez in the locker room afterward, giving the credit to Tyler Hero and Bam Adebayo saying, this is the best halftime he's been a part of.

[L]

You know, just reminds this team what we're capable of. Really lock in and commit to one another. Thought everyone. It really came together at halftime. I know it was great what happened

[C]

at halftime because halftime kind of like turned you guys up a notch for the second.

[L]

Yeah, man, halftime happened. It was great, man. It was one of our best halftimes ever. Like I want to say, since I've been here at least, you know, Tyler and Bam really brought us together during that time for sure.

[B]

Well, it's about time, because am I wrong when I say that the Heat are notoriously bad in the third quarter?

[A]

We were talking about this yesterday. Yeah, it's the turd quarter. Every team has one of these. It's not an explicable thing. It is totally random, stupid.

[B]

Okay, but it's true.

[A]

I mean it is often true. You don't notice it when it's not true.

[F]

The stats reflect that. The, the Heat do give up double digit leads more than your average NBA team.

[B]

Which is weird because SPO everybody would agree is the best coach in the league or top two or three.

[A]

Not more than your average team in the league. More than any team in the league over the last two years. They give up double digit leads, but they do it in the fourth quarter too. It's not just in the third.

[H]

Ah, but not last night, Dano. They were able to come back and win that one. They also have the best first quarter offense in the league. So you have more double digit lead to work with than most other teams.

[A]

They had one last night in the first quarter when they scored, whatever it was, 38 points and then had 58 at the half. And I heard Scalabrini on the broadcast saying, yeah, every once in a while

[D]

this team just puts up those quarters in the teens out of nowhere where they're one for nine from three. And oh look, they're letting Pella Larson shoot as much as he wants wide open and they're not making any of them.

[H]

It's almost like going -17 in the six minutes without Bam is a problem for them.
