Episode Summary: Local Hour: Has Dan Ever Had Pizza?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Date: February 10, 2026
Location: Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami

---

Overview

In this episode, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and the crew dive into their signature blend of South Florida sports talk, irreverent banter, and pop-culture riffing. The show features a playful "Phony Baloney" controversy, spirited arguments about crust etiquette and pizza semantics, reactions to the Miami Heat's baffling loss, debates about college basketball, and a nostalgic Marlins detour. Along the way, they confront issues of memory, authenticity in fandom, and the peculiar rituals—sporting and otherwise—that bind them.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The "Phony Baloney" Boy Band Controversy

[01:05-10:20]

• Zaslow is accused of hypocrisy ("phony baloney") after mocking Tony for seeing the Backstreet Boys in Vegas, even as he plans to attend a New Kids on the Block show himself.
• Tony ribs Zaslow:
  • “Phony baloney!” [01:56]
  • Zaslow responds, defending his trip as legitimate: “I’m going to the original. I’m going to the OG New Kids on the Block, all right? … And more importantly, one of the guys in the group is my friend. I’m going to see my friend perform.” [09:20]
• The crew debates where the line of “friend” is drawn—do you need to be invited to a 50th birthday party to count?
  • “If you’re not invited to that guy’s 50-year-old birthday party, are you his friend?” (Mike Ryan) [10:20]
• The Vegas economy’s downturn is mentioned, with the Mirage and Rio both reportedly closing, highlighting a shift in the city’s fortunes.
  • “Vegas is really hurting… a bunch of places are about to close…” (Dan) [06:24]

2. The Miami Heat’s Loss & Tanking Accusations

[04:48–16:00, 19:00–16:53]

• Dan launches into a frustrated analysis of the Miami Heat’s upsetting loss to a Utah Jazz team openly “trying to lose.”
  • “That is as bad a loss as I’ve ever seen them have last night.” (Dan) [04:48]
  • Bam Adebayo’s unusually candid quote surfaces: “We’ve got to find a way to win against the teams that are, I guess you can say, trying to lose.” [05:08]
• The crew discusses “tanking” and the rare public acknowledgement by players of teams not trying to win.
  • “That’s usually unspoken among players… That’s an Adam Silver problem…” (Jeremy) [13:55]
• Utah’s strategy of sitting players and the broader issue of teams “tanking” for draft positioning are dissected, with reactions ranging from outrage to resignation.

3. College Basketball: Miami Hurricanes’ Crucial Game

[10:29–12:29, 26:16–27:31]

• Conversation pivots to the University of Miami’s big home game against North Carolina, billed as their toughest and most important so far.
  • “This is the biggest of the year tonight at home against North Carolina… The student section is going to be full tonight.” (Dan) [10:29]
• The struggles and stakes for both programs are discussed, taking into account recent court-stormings and upcoming March Madness implications.

4. Marlins Nostalgia & Uniforms

[20:01–24:24]

• The debut of the Marlins’ teal uniforms triggers a nostalgic dive into memories of Pro Player Stadium, smuggling beers in cargo pants [21:23], and “connections” to franchises through aesthetics.
  • “That just brings me back to my high school years.” (Tony) [21:04]
  • “Make them teal. Make them the Florida Marlins. Let me get some nostalgia connection…” (Greg) [23:44]
• Debates emerge about whether nostalgia (jerseys, legends) is a crutch for a franchise lacking recent, substantive connection with fans.
  • “The Marlins are using the past as a crutch. The Dolphins do the same thing…” (Jeremy) [24:26]

5. Pizza, Crusts, and the Nature of Friendship

[29:05–33:40]

• A lengthy and humorous debate unfolds about the existence of pizza crusts, the legitimacy of removing crust from pizza, and Dan’s dubious claim of knowing people who do so.
  • “You’ve never seen a pizza box filled with crust?” (Dan) [30:13]
  • “You have serial killer friends. I’ve never seen that in my life.” (Joe) [30:42]
• The conversation spirals into parsing pizza anatomy (“undercarriage”) and whether Dan has ever actually had pizza.
  • “Have you ever had pizza in your life?” (Mike Ryan) [31:53]
• Dave Portnoy’s catchphrases around pizza are referenced, debating whether he’s popularized the term “undercarriage.”
  • “Dave Portnoy’s popularized pizza undercarriage.” (Tony & Greg) [32:19]

6. Memory, Hall of Fame Voting & The “Dog and Pony” Show

[36:13–41:43]

• Greg Cody’s memory is (again) called into question regarding who he voted for in recent Hall of Fame ballots.
  • “Do you remember who you voted for? Because you voted for four people. And that laughter suggests that…” (Dan) [36:57]
• The “dog and pony show” of sports honors and Hall of Fame voting is criticized for its lack of transparency and increasingly arbitrary nature.
  • “What’s going on behind the scenes with this stuff? This is so dumb… There’s so many puppet strings being pulled…” (Greg) [39:38]
• Zaslow is fined $50 for prematurely announcing the death of Hall of Fame presenter David Baker.
  • “And you owe $50 because you killed him. You said he was dead, and he’s not dead.” (Dan) [42:36]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Overall Tone & Flavor

The episode is classic Le Batard Show—quick-witted, meandering, full of inside jokes and self-mocking humor. There’s an affectionate ribbing of friends; sports are foregrounded but not sacred; and a serious, local Heat loss is treated with both genuine frustration and zany digressions. The pizza debate and “Phony Baloney” bit are especially emblematic of the show's surreal, communal fun, while segments on the Heat, Hurricanes, and Marlins tether everything to the South Florida fan experience.

[Zaslow]

I don't know what's about to happen today, Dan, but what I do know is Chris is walking around in the room over there before the show starts talking about what a big fraud I am. And I don't know what that's about.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who's he? Who's he telling that to?

[Zaslow]

He's like, oh, zazzle. A big fraud.

[Dan Le Batard]

Big fraud.

[Tony]

Tony Baloney. I believe I said as well.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Zaslow]

Like, what are you talking about?

[Tony]

Whoa.

[Dan Le Batard]

Which is worse? Put it on the poll at Levitage show. Big fraud or phony baloney?

[Zaslow]

You know you got something to say when you say it so well.

[Tony]

Save it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know. I guess now we're here just mumbling phony.

[Greg Cody]

I heard the word cuckoo out there somewhere.

[Zaslow]

No, I heard it, Dan.

[Tony]

Weeks ago, months ago at this point, Zaslow made fun of me for going to Vegas to see the Backstreet Boys.

[Zaslow]

That's right. He went to Backstreet Boys and he took his wife all the way to Vegas for Backstreet Boys.

[Tony]

Remember when he says going to Vegas this weekend, you know, tomorrow night, you know he's doing there? No New Kids on the Block.

[Jeremy]

What?

[Tony]

Phony baloney.

[Stugats]

He has a friend on the Band.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, but it's the same thing. You can't make. You can't make. You can't. It is the same.

[Jeremy]

It is the same thing. Except Backstreet Boys are better.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know what?

[Mike Ryan]

Jeremy's got this right, actually, not surprisingly, he knows the nuance between the boy bands, and.

[Joe]

Of course I do.

[Dan Le Batard]

And he's. He's right. You're going to a ripoff version of that. Are you going at the.

[Stugats]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Right.

[Zaslow]

New Kids were first.

[Joe]

They were first. But worse.

[Greg Cody]

Don't sell him short. There's a possibility here that he hits up his friend and New Kids for tickets to BSB at the Sphere, too.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Zaslow]

I'm definitely not going to see Backstreet Boys at the Sphere.

[Greg Cody]

I don't believe you.

[Zaslow]

Everybody knows I cannot go to the Sphere because I have vertigo and I would get very sick during the show. So I cannot go to the Sphere. All right? So don't even worry.

[Greg Cody]

Everybody knows that. Everyone knows.

[Mike Ryan]

Everybody knows fear is dangerous for you.

[Zaslow]

Yeah. Because the visuals and the spinning.

[Joe]

Can you put me there? Like, what happens?

[Greg Cody]

You walk in and you're like.

[Zaslow]

Well, I mean, I would just be in the middle of the show and I'd probably start puke. It'd be bad.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you the person that. Those warnings on the. You know, on Netflix or the streamers where they say strobing lights and where.

[Zaslow]

I have, like, epilepsy.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, just. I mean, I've never known who. I don't know anybody who those warnings are for.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know anybody.

[Mike Ryan]

When they put this as smoking and also strobe lights that make people dizzy.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've never met anyone.

[Zaslow]

It's for people with epilepsy.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Different things. Epilepsy and vertigo.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, that's why they're called different things.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

But you're saying that the sphere and the strobing lights are affecting your verdict.

[Dan Le Batard]

Go.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not making a big leap there.

[Zaslow]

No, because it'll be motion sickness.

[Jeremy]

See, this is scaring me because I'm going to the Sphere for the first time the following weekend. Like, whatever, the 20th or 21st, whenever that is. And I've never been before. My wife has been before, but I've never been. And now you're scaring me a little bit.

[Zaslow]

Who?

[Jeremy]

You want to see whoever's playing the next weekend.

[Mike Ryan]

You don't even know.

[Jeremy]

I think it's the Eagles, but I'm not sure.

[Greg Cody]

She told me Don Henley said this might be the last year that you can see the Eagles. Please.

[Jeremy]

That's why we're doing it.

[Zaslow]

But my friend is in New Kids on the Block to see my friend perform. Who are you friends with?

[Tony]

Phony Baloney.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. I don't want. He doesn't remember who he's going to see.

[Joe]

Wild.

[Jeremy]

I think it's the Eagle.

[Tony]

There can't be many people going to the Sphere in a couple weeks who don't know who they're going to.

[Zaslow]

I like the idea that he's on the plane for the six hour flight and they're like, what are you going to do in Vegas?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know.

[Jeremy]

Well, at some point it'll come up on the flight, you know, a couple of cocktails in. I'll ask her. Who are we seeing, by the way?

[Greg Cody]

Eagles.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, that's what I thought, but it could be somebody else. I agreed to it, so it must be somebody I want to see.

[Greg Cody]

I hope it's Backstreet.

[Jeremy]

No, it's not. It's not a boy band. It's an old man band.

[Mike Ryan]

We had the clothes when he said boy band.

[Jeremy]

Oh, okay.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bryce Sensibar. Mike Biamonte's got to go about better than this. Like, that's as bad. That is as bad a loss as I've ever seen them have last night. I'm not even kidding. Even though they were only a 5 1/2 point favorite in that game. That Bam Adebayo quote coming out of that mouth when that team's not good enough and he's the guy, you need to beat Utah at home when Utah's trying to lose. You guys saw the Bam Adebayo quote, right? I mean, I just have never seen that come out of a Heat mouth before where he's saying we've got to find a way to win against the teams that are, I guess you can say, trying to lose.

[Mike Ryan]

Utah benched its players in the fourth quarter. They just lost this way at Orlando.

[Dan Le Batard]

And when Ethan Skolnick asks you, Utah's coach will. Whatever his name is when they ask.

[Mike Ryan]

Him, hey, how tempted were you to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put in market in the fourth quarter? Wasn't. Wasn't going to.

[Mike Ryan]

Had no intention. Zaz accused people yesterday of point shaving and said they should be put in prison because of what Utah is doing. They tried to do it and the Heat wouldn't allow them to murder themselves.

[Zaslow]

Made me look like a sucker last night.

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Zaslow]

No.

[Jeremy]

Yes.

[Zaslow]

No.

[Stugats]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

Admit it.

[Dan Le Batard]

So we'll get to the Phony Baloney Controversy here because Zaslow is going to see a boy band in Vegas. I don't know if you guys have seen, like, Vegas is really hurting. This shouldn't surprise people, given what's going on in the economy, but garage closed. Rio is about to close. A bunch of places are about to close because Vegas is really hurting and.

[Zaslow]

About to give it a boost.

[Dan Le Batard]

Zaz and Cody are headed the next.

[Mike Ryan]

Couple of weeks to give it a boost. Zaz to see new kids on the block and Cody to see old men on the block. And he's not sure, though. He thinks it's the Eagles, but he's not totally positive.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, whoever's playing that weekend, I'm seeing.

[Dan Le Batard]

I have here, Cody. I'm doing a little bit of Dan LeBatard finds out here. I have a video that you don't know that we have, and I want an explanation for what it is that happened here in this video during your super bowl party.

[Tony]

We are about to miss kickoff.

[Dan Le Batard]

How do you get it over there closed?

[Tony]

Greg co. Greg touched the remote, and now we're going to miss kickoff.

[Jeremy]

My wife's panicking. Another crisis song. Another crazy assault. Will it make the top 10 on the catchphrase countdown? Another crisis.

[Stugats]

So I want to wipe that camera.

[Tony]

Little plug for the countdown. He's like, will that be on Greg Cody's catchphrases?

[Greg Cody]

Mixing water.

[Mike Ryan]

Why does that living room look jaundiced? That that living room looks like out of 1970s Jacksonville. Is it the paint on the wall? It's not.

[Tony]

Maybe the camera.

[Jeremy]

Why is it a bad shot?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, what happened?

[Jeremy]

What's going on?

[Mike Ryan]

First of all, what happened? Because you said, look at my wife panicking as you're standing nearby doing nothing. All you've done is harm. And then took credit, turned and swung and did a promo. The best television I've seen since Tony marveled at Jason Garrett turning to a camera with one gleaming tooth and smiling at a camera.

[Tony]

I'm telling you, this is seconds before kickoff. And he touched, touches the remote, and all of a sudden, we can't get it off the screen. And my mom, my brother have to come running in.

[Jeremy]

I normally don't touch her remote.

[Tony]

Right, and you did it right before.

[Jeremy]

The reason I did it was the volume thing. We had it like 99 or 100. It was, like, blaring. And I was about to make an announcement to hold the commercial, sacrosanct and shut up when the commercials come on.

[Tony]

That did nothing because I didn't hear a single commercial.

[Joe]

That's a Good announcement, though. It's important.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, it is important.

[Tony]

He did it during a commercial, by the way, that, you know, you got.

[Jeremy]

To do it sometime.

[Dan Le Batard]

Zaz, why are you looking at Cody this way?

[Zaslow]

I just.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't.

[Zaslow]

Why don't you know how to use the equipment in your home?

[Jeremy]

My wife always handles the wand.

[Zaslow]

The wand?

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Whoa.

[Greg Cody]

That's a tb.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a T shirt. Valentine's Day is coming up. We have a resident love expert, Greg.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cody, and we have an assortment of questions for him.

[Mike Ryan]

My wife always handles the one.

[Greg Cody]

See what you did? Says that's on you, by the way.

[Mike Ryan]

And it is. You're a phony baloney. It's been. It's been proven.

[Zaslow]

I don't know why I'm a phony baloney.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tony, would you like to explain to him how it is and why it is that he's a phony baloney?

[Greg Cody]

You made fun of Chris doing something right. Now you're going to do the same thing, but older and worse, making you a phony baloney.

[Jeremy]

Baloney.

[Zaslow]

I'm going to the original. I'm going to the OG New Kids on the Block, all right? There would not even be a Backstreet Boys, or NSync for that matter, if there wasn't a New Kids on the Block. So let's make sure we get that straight, all right? And number two, and more importantly, one of the guys in the group is my friend. I'm going to see my friend perform.

[Jeremy]

A friend.

[Zaslow]

Oh, yeah, by the way, huge fan of this show. Watches every day.

[Tony]

Friendly.

[Zaslow]

Watches every day.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now, if he watches every day and he sees Zaz on the show, they'll become friends. Inside of that, we are friends.

[Zaslow]

We've been friends for over, like, 10 plus years.

[Mike Ryan]

Sure.

[Jeremy]

Is he gonna bring you on stage?

[Greg Cody]

No, no.

[Zaslow]

But we'll be sitting right next to.

[Tony]

Get invited to his birthday party. Not friend.

[Zaslow]

I don't think so.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is that the rule? How are you guys doing?

[Zaslow]

Like, he's. He's all a birthday party.

[Mike Ryan]

He's a new grown man. No longer a new. He's a new kid. I thought he was a new kid on the block.

[Tony]

I'm just saying he must have had a 50th recently.

[Dan Le Batard]

A 40th, so.

[Mike Ryan]

But is that the way you're doing friendship? Did they have a 50th birthday party?

[Zaslow]

I don't invite you.

[Tony]

You're not my friend. Like, right.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, I put it on the poll at Le Batard show.

[Mike Ryan]

If you're. If you're not invited to that guy's 50 year old birthday party. Are you his friend?

[Dan Le Batard]

Go ahead.

[Mike Ryan]

I would answer yes to that.

[Dan Le Batard]

So I want to get to this, this heat story because. And there, there is, I believe, a tournament team in town. The University of Miami plays a giant game, the biggest of the year tonight at home against North Carolina. North Carolina is a big letdown spot for North Carolina. This is exactly where you want to play them, where they just won a buzzer beater against Duke and they've had two court stormings and now they're going to.

[Zaslow]

They're going on the embarrass themselves.

[Dan Le Batard]

They embarrass themselves with two court storming.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Violence ensued.

[Dan Le Batard]

Caleb Wilson is a problem. I don't believe the Miami Hurricanes have a player as good as he is. That's no slight on the Miami Hurricanes. He's one of the best players in the country and that's a giant game. The student section is going to be full tonight. They're honoring the UM football team as well. So it'll be the best crowd of the season as well. The best, the best crowd these players have ever played in front of. Correct. Like best crowd.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it's a whole new team. It's a whole new team, whole new staff. There isn't a holdover from last year, so. Yeah, definitely. And it's at a finally a convenient time. These game times have been weird. You know, putting Cal and Stanford in the ACC has really mucked things up.

[Zaslow]

What time is tonight?

[Greg Cody]

Tonight's seven o' clock tip. Yeah, it's better than the nine o' clock weeknight tip that we had against Stanford. That point guard is very good, by the way.

[Dan Le Batard]

So they lose at Cal. The day I said they were a tournament team, they lost as an 11.5-point favorite. BBC haven't played a whole lot of good teams. Mike still questioning whether they're a tournament team. And Joe Leonardi is saying they're a 10 seed. They're one of the, they've got the kind of record you want to have. But now begins the difficult part of the schedule and when you're going to test yourself against the boozers or Cam Boozer, I guess because his brother's not playing as much.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, he's not that good.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, but Cam is amazing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, Cam. Cam is amazing.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. If Miami wins this game, they are pretty entrenched unless they fall off like this. This last.

[Dan Le Batard]

But this is a tough, this is a tough 10 days they've got. This is the, this is the toughest stretch of their schedule with Opponents and everyone else. And if they're gon to be a tournament team, it will reveal itself right now.

[Greg Cody]

Drew Henderson's coming back tonight. Great defender. This is the type of team that you don't want to face when you have the emotional highs, the court storming against your biggest rival in Duke. You hop on a plane a couple days later and you play a tough as nails defensive team. The type of team that Jay Lucas has built down here is not fun to play on any night, especially when you're kind of feeling yourself.

[Dan Le Batard]

So a big festive crowd is what it is that's being expected tonight there. It would be the opposite of what I imagine was at that Heat game last night because can you guys tell me how many road wins Utah has? I know Sacramento had three, Washington had five. And these teams just can't win on the road. These terrible. These truly terrible teams can't win on the road. And the circumstances that you had last night is Utah. The stat from Amien is amazing. Okay. Three years ago, worst defense in league history topped two years ago by them having the worst defense in league history topped this year by this being the worst defensive team in the league.

[Zaslow]

Last night was their seventh road win.

[Dan Le Batard]

They sit their starters. They sit their starters in the fourth quarter. Their coach is not trying to win like they're actively there. They are. Sacramento and Washington are trying like they're trying to win.

[Mike Ryan]

Utah's not trying to win.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're the only team in the league.

[Mike Ryan]

The only one that you could point to and say they're doing this.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're in the fourth quarter when they.

[Mike Ryan]

Have a lead, they sit their best guy.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, that was obvious. Tanking. Now, Bam didn't use the word tanking. He said trying to lose. Same thing. What interests me about that is that that's usually unspoken among players. Players very rarely say tanking out loud. That's a media thing. But coaches and players hardly say it. That's an Adam Silver problem, though, because when you do what they did in the fourth quarter, it's so blatant. So blatant.

[Zaslow]

He'll fix it. He'll get to the bottom of it. Sewing needle.

[Greg Cody]

Would you rather be Utah or Miami?

[Joe]

It's amazing that starting five, I mean, I kind of. If they're fully healthy, the Jazz starting five is no next year.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, they've got so many picks.

[Greg Cody]

You see, Utah had a vision and they stuck to it.

[Joe]

Yep.

[Greg Cody]

Lose for a decade and now they're well positioned. I cannot imagine the current NBA champion. How did they get good by being.

[Joe]

Terrible for a really long time.

[Greg Cody]

Held still.

[Joe]

Have so much fun.

[Greg Cody]

What happened after. I don't even know how you show your face around here given what we've seen jack shit over there.

[Tony]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Greg Cody]

The super bowl meant we didn't even have to talk about the Miami heat blowing a 20 point lead against Boston.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, here's the thing though. They've lost. They've blown 32 double digit leads since the last, you know, since last season and it's the most in the sport. Is there any reporting being done about Norman Powell and the personal issues? Because while I respect all of this.

[Greg Cody]

He had a child.

[Zaslow]

No, he came back though. And then he got hurt like he's had.

[Joe]

He's had back tightness for a couple of weeks here. He needs the all star break. He hurt his hand. I wouldn't be shocked if he also missed Wednesday's game. He might play because they'd like to end the first half on a good note. But he was out yesterday because it's the second night of back to backs. Three out of the four last nights.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, so Norm Powell is out, Tyler Herro is out.

[Zaslow]

Oh, hero's out.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're going to have with sa like that's what happened. You had trouble with size. Khalil Ware had to play a bunch and, and they don't want to play him a bunch and he had to play a bunch and they had a size advantage where SPO's like, Ah, I don't know what to do with their size advantage.

[Greg Cody]

Like Spo rarely I seen marketing the Playma 3.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's 7ft tall.

[Mike Ryan]

You understand though that Spo like doesn't usually go. Yeah.

[Stugats]

You know, people keep asking me about my 2026 resolutions and yeah, I got the usual stuff. You know, watch more games, complain about the power play and pretend like my team's actually going to stay healthy.

[Jeremy]

Haha.

[Stugats]

[Dan Le Batard]

Checkout don Lebatard is there.

[Jeremy]

Back in my day there is actually.

[Greg Cody]

Were you not gonna tell anyone? Wait a minute, you guys. Guys, it's a Tuesday. Stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

Here's your guy, Greg Cody with Back in My Day.

[Jeremy]

Okay, here it is. Sorry, adultery.

[Greg Cody]

We're waiting for this one.

[Stugats]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

The reason that ZAZ will not get any traction on wanting to jail everyone in the Utah organization for point shaving is because the players they do play are trying to win. Bryce Sensabaugh is trying to win.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you or do you not have.

[Dan Le Batard]

To do better For Mike Biamonte, he's gone from Luau Dang to Bryce Sensibaugh. That's just.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, that's not the way for him to retire.

[Jeremy]

No, Luol Dang is perfect. He don't get any better than that. Luol Dang.

[Joe]

You know, like John Conchar.

[Greg Cody]

They told Barry Jackson that they felt like they had a team that could make some noise in the playoffs.

[Dan Le Batard]

Fart noise.

[Jeremy]

Everybody thought so. The first month of the season they were like the darling of the league.

[Tony]

Oh, Jeremy was excited.

[Jeremy]

14 seven points a game, you know.

[Joe]

The Marlin signed Chris Paddock to a one year four million dollar deal. He's basically their cow control of this year. He's there to eat up innings. He'll compete for a rotation. Braxton Garrett and Max Meyer both back.

[Zaslow]

Your hat's patronizing. I mean after that Heat game last night, you come in here wearing the old school Marlins hats. Look at me. I, I, I put on a Miami Heat jacket.

[Jeremy]

That's right.

[Zaslow]

Represent.

[Joe]

I mean the Marlins. It's P's and C's today. And they have the teal uniforms coming back. That's why you wear the old school Marlins. They have a teal uniform. You know they've never worn those teal uniforms. You know they've never worn teal uniforms in a game before. Only in spring training and batting practice. So these teal uniforms, it's a debut.

[Dan Le Batard]

How about that? Well, wait a minute. No, that was what it.

[Joe]

Nope. Never worn that jersey in a regular season game ever in the history of the franchise.

[Dan Le Batard]

Those uniforms are the ones that I thought they played with in 1993.

[Joe]

Mandela effect.

[Greg Cody]

No batting practice and spring training.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, I think those are spring training jerseys.

[Jeremy]

The Berenstein Bears will show up to see those new uniforms. The crowds that will shut, they're going to fill that stadium because of the uniform gimmick.

[Tony]

I got excited there because that dugout in that photo is clearly the old Pro Player stadium dugout. They clearly just recreated it. But I would love them to turn their current dugout because that all that just brings me. I would love to go back to Pro Player Stadium.

[Joe]

They're doing good things with the brand here.

[Tony]

Man, I miss that stadium. That just brings me back to my high school years. I know it was empty.

[Mike Ryan]

Trust me, nobody says that.

[Greg Cody]

I'm telling you.

[Tony]

But you bring it back to my junior year. David Sampson, go into every game.

[Mike Ryan]

Sampson built that stadium on Galle Ocho.

[Dan Le Batard]

As a modern new stadium.

[Greg Cody]

It stinks. It's a bad ballpark.

[Zaslow]

I snuck in a 12 pack of long neck beers. Joe Robbie from Marlins game.

[Greg Cody]

One time I got caught the Peanuts Cody's crew.

[Tony]

The Peanuts guy with the glasses.

[Greg Cody]

On the public's power Alley.

[Zaslow]

I wore long cargo pants, so it had lots of pocke pockets. And. And I put like several long necks in each pocket. So I'm like waddling into the stadium when I get my ticket, you know, don't want them to clank or break in my pockets. We made it to our seats. We made it to our seats with the 12 pack of beers. Take them all out. We're drinking. We're drinking. By like the third inning, the usher comes down, notices we're drinking long necks. All right. They don't sell long as a criminal.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a pretty amateur move. You were looking pretty good with the cargo pants, like. And you got all of security is bored there because they got seven people coming through. Social Security's not paying attention.

[Zaslow]

Well, we used to sit in a section where there was never an issue.

[Mike Ryan]

You were about to save $100. All you had to do was be a less sloppy criminal. You can't drink a beer that's clearly not sold there.

[Zaslow]

We're pounding long necks, which they very obviously do not sell at the stadium. She comes and she confiscates it from me.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why wouldn't you just buy a couple of cops cans?

[Zaslow]

And she's like, is this it? No, we got more. And then I reached under the seat and she's now walking up the stairs holding like six beers. Everyone was laughing.

[Jeremy]

What a waste of beer. What a ballpark.

[Tony]

Left field scoreboard.

[Dan Le Batard]

I can't believe what you guys are saying right now out loud to an audience that's listening.

[Greg Cody]

I said it the very first game at that monstrosity in Little Havana. It's a bad ballpark. It's never been good. It made me miss a football stadium without a roof at the top.

[Mike Ryan]

Nobody liked that place because of the rain outs. You'd have five hour games.

[Greg Cody]

The rain outs are great. You're just going to the concourse. It was so hot. But man, it felt like baseball. That was. That's the nostalgia. That's what's missing. And I'm glad that they're bringing back the teal uniforms because there is zero connection to whatever team that ballpark houses. They have totally different uniforms. They don't let any players stick around long enough for you to actually grow attached to them. The only connection point that Marlins fans have to that team. They don't even have the same name.

[Zaslow]

Would you be in that uniform changing it back to Florida Marlins.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I'd be make them teal. Make them the Florida Marlins. Let me get some kind of nostalgia connection to this team and it does feel different when I see them wearing that. I'm like, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I don't have any kind of connection to the new stuff.

[Joe]

There is a reason why they have to have specifically Marlins on the front there and not Miami and it is to tie it back to the nostalgia that you're used to of seeing Marlins. And that's been the name the whole way through. Whether it's Florida Marlins, whether it's Miami Marlins, they're the Marlins franchise. And bringing back the teal. They are trying to sort of hearken back to their history. They had the Marlins Legends hall of Fame open last year. This year it's D train and Beckett being added.

[Zaslow]

Last year, remember, it was about 100 people.

[Jeremy]

See this is, this is the problem with the Marlins though. They're using the past as a crutch. The Dolphins do the same thing a little bit. Miami supports winners. If you're the Marlins, the teal uniforms are nice. They're going to please a lot of kids who go to go to the game. Maybe.

[Tony]

No that you're the. It's pleasing our age.

[Joe]

It's pleasing the people who buy the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Guys eye on the ball. Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

You let Jeremy do what you didn't.

[Dan Le Batard]

Want to let him do.

[Mike Ryan]

He went to Marlins and you stayed here because he hypnotized you with the, with the uniform eye on the ball. Okay.

[Greg Cody]

It's opening weekend at Marklight Stadium this weekend.

[Jeremy]

In summary, the Marlins use a crutch of the past, of spending money now to create a.

[Joe]

What do the Yankees do, Greg? Did they sign anybody big this season or are they relying on a team that hasn't won a World Series?

[Zaslow]

2009 tonight win the Canes win.

[Dan Le Batard]

What point and a half favorite tonight against North Carolina and it's the crowd. I didn't understand what was happening with the point spread last night in Utah and the heat. Right. Everything I just told you. Historically bad defensive team, not trying to. Not playing at starters late like that. Combination of things. You ought to score 140 points on that team. Like that's what should happen. And the points print kept dropping. It was Utah underdog by seven, six, five and a half. And I'm like, what do they know what. Who knows what here about Utah's size advantage? Wasn't Utah also on a back to Back.

[Mike Ryan]

Didn't they just do this the previous night in Orlando?

[Zaslow]

Saturday night.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was Saturday night and the Heat.

[Joe]

Were on it back to back. And they had no Norman Powell or Pella Larson, which meant they started Davion Mitchell alongside Sim Fontechio. Jeremy, they played the Wizards, Myron Gardner, that was an AAU team, and Bama to buy.

[Zaslow]

I told my son to lay the six and a half.

[Dan Le Batard]

My fault. The Canes are a one and a half point dog. Not in a one and a half live dog.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that's a. That's basically a pick them. Let's go. Let's go. Cocaine.

[Jeremy]

The Canes are more desperate. Haven't they lost like three out of five? I mean, they're. They're struggling to make the. The big tournament.

[Dan Le Batard]

They have not. No, wait a minute.

[Mike Ryan]

They're not.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're not struggling. They're. Aren't they 19? What are they?

[Mike Ryan]

19?

[Dan Le Batard]

Five.

[Greg Cody]

I guess, like dating back to the FSU loss. This is their worst stretch. It's weird.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, they lost two out of five.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. They'll go up to Syracuse, win that game and struggle against Cal.

[Dan Le Batard]

Carmelo's kid doesn't play defense either.

[Greg Cody]

No, the Stanford game was a random rock fight. They're not playing in these games the way that you would think a 10 seed would play. Much like the Heat. Their best form was at the start of the season.

[Zaslow]

Win this game tonight for the Canes, though, and like, like all that conversation goes away.

[Greg Cody]

Huge for your season, huge for your program.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, you announce yourself right, because people, they.

[Greg Cody]

They got some recruits intent too.

[Dan Le Batard]

They were before losing to fsu. They got ranked, did they not? Did they not right there.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like Brandon Marshall was right there. Just right.

[Mike Ryan]

They were right there.

[Dan Le Batard]

But they weren't quite ranked.

[Jeremy]

That was a crime. Because when they were like I think 15.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, like.

[Mike Ryan]

Like point shaving. Like Utah needs to be in prison for a crime.

[Jeremy]

At one point the canes were like 15 and two, there are only two losses were to top 10 teams and yet they weren't ranked. I thought they should have been ranked then. Now they wouldn't be ranked now because they're on a little bit of a skid.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, but you know, compared to. Compared to college football, like the rankings obviously in season means something in college football. It really doesn't mean anything in college basketball. Like. Like just, just keep winning games.

[Jeremy]

Oh.

[Dan Le Batard]

But no, what it does sort of mean, though is when your name is in there and then you win a game. Like tonight's right? Tonight's is the One. Everyone's going to be watching. North Carolina brings that win with them. North Carolina coming off of. Hey, so, John Shire again. Duke's lying. Duke.

[Mike Ryan]

There was no staffer punch in the court storm. This is the second time Duke claims that their people are punched and. And injured during stuff. And there's never any video. Even though everyone. Every kid in the. In Cameron Indoor has a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Or actually, it's not Cameron Indoor.

[Mike Ryan]

Every kid has a. A camera and there's no video of this.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, the story changed, too. We stopped being punched in the face, then we got trampled. There's no video of a trampling either.

[Zaslow]

Aren't we still waiting for a video of Kyle Filipowski getting hit as well?

[Greg Cody]

Beginning to think he played.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did he break his leg? Didn't they say he hurt his leg or something? That the court storming injured his leg?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, yeah, there was actually like, at least video of that one. Beginning to think Duke exaggerates when they lose these games to North Carolina. Also, Jon shire, Beta, Don LeBatard.

[Jeremy]

I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public.

[Greg Cody]

Stugats don't do it.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Tony]

While we're talking college basketball, can we talk about Syracuse basketball player Donnie Freeman? Uncrusting and uncrustable. This is just monster behavior. He's using it.

[Greg Cody]

You should.

[Tony]

It doesn't have a crust, and he's peeling the crust off and it's just. I needed. I need an explanation. Because that little crust. Part of the uncrustable.

[Dan Le Batard]

False advertising. You're not. Okay. You need an explanation. Well, do you understand people who pull the crust off their. Off their pizza?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, but.

[Joe]

Yes, but there's a crust to be pulled here. There is no crust to be. Dad, have you ever seen crust before?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

The whole thing is. Have you eaten one? They don't have a crust.

[Zaslow]

No, I have not actually.

[Tony]

Like, the little pinched part of the uncrustable. It's like my favorite part of the uncrustable. And you're choosing to take the delightful part of the uncrustable and just turn it into a PB and J.

[Zaslow]

Hold on a second, Dan, you know people who. I know people who don't eat the crust on pizza. You know people who pull off the.

[Mike Ryan]

Crust on the pizza.

[Dan Le Batard]

The top of the crust that they don't like. The thick. The bready crust that doesn't have the cheese on it. Not the entirety of.

[Zaslow]

Right. But they pull it off and then they Just like. Yes, hold the other part and eat the other part.

[Jeremy]

That's barbaric.

[Dan Le Batard]

You've never seen a pizza box filled with crust.

[Mike Ryan]

Because people do that.

[Joe]

Eat it after.

[Zaslow]

Right? They don't hold pizza.

[Joe]

And then you leave the crust a.

[Jeremy]

Good piece of pizza.

[Mike Ryan]

Why are they ganging up on us? This is our experience.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at Lebatard show.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you trust people or how should I phrase this?

[Dan Le Batard]

Because you're saying people don't do it. And I'm saying I do know people who do not.

[Greg Cody]

Hold on, hold on.

[Mike Ryan]

Top end of crust of pizza.

[Zaslow]

No, that's not what you said, though. That's how you said they rip it.

[Joe]

Off before they eat the regular slice.

[Mike Ryan]

They're attacking us.

[Zaslow]

That's crazy behavior.

[Joe]

You have serial killer friends. Yeah, I've never seen that in my life.

[Zaslow]

You're telling me there are times of Dexter slice of pizza. And before they take a bite, they rip off the crust.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Guys, this again. What do you mean?

[Mike Ryan]

You're saying no, but you're talking about.

[Dan Le Batard]

The piece of the pizza that doesn't.

[Mike Ryan]

Have cheese they don't want just bread. They want.

[Tony]

That's right. But Dan, like 99% of what people do is you have a slice. You're holding the crust. You eat the crust. The pizza up until the crust.

[Jeremy]

Crust.

[Tony]

Then you just.

[Zaslow]

You need it to hold.

[Tony]

That's right. Most people just don't eat the crust. I haven't seen a lot of people before this.

[Mike Ryan]

Friends who rip it off your ground. This is. This is ridiculous.

[Zaslow]

So then they're just holding with the cheese and the sauce in their fingers.

[Joe]

Only crazy people. Serial killers.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. I ate the crust last.

[Mike Ryan]

Switching gears. What do you mean? Denny Hamlin. I'm asking you to make that my voice. And don't try and sneak in your things in my subconscious. Your topics. I to talk about Denny Hamlin anymore. It makes me sad.

[Dan Le Batard]

Got them off the cross thing at Lebatard show.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you trust people who do not eat. What is that called?

[Dan Le Batard]

Because the whole thing is the crust. Right. Is it not?

[Mike Ryan]

The whole is the whole.

[Greg Cody]

Have you ever.

[Joe]

Have you had pizza in your life?

[Mike Ryan]

All right, I'm on their side.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is the base?

[Mike Ryan]

What is. This is stubborn even for you. What is the base of the pizza called?

[Jeremy]

The undercarriage.

[Tony]

Ah, the undercarriage.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nobody calls.

[Tony]

No, you need a good undercarriage. When you look at a pie, you're like, how's the undercarriage?

[Mike Ryan]

That's not also the crust.

[Zaslow]

It technically no undercarrots has been Popularized.

[Jeremy]

No, that's what a pizza bottom.

[Mike Ryan]

But nobody calls it the.

[Greg Cody]

No, it has been. Dave Portnoy has popularized the term undercarriage.

[Tony]

You lift it up. What's the undercarriage layer?

[Mike Ryan]

Dave Portnoy's popularized pizza undercarriage.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Say what you want about him.

[Greg Cody]

He's seen a pizza. He's eaten pizza before. Are you trying to deny Dave Portnoy's monopoly over pizza reviews? Are you trying to deny him that? Look, you can deny him him plenty. He's on the pizza game.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not denying that one bite. I am denying that he's popular. Put it on the poll at Levitage Show. Has Dave Portnoy made you call the bottom half of a pizza the undercarriage? Just put it up that way. Because you guys are saying he's popularized that. I didn't know that it was called the undercarriage.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know what to call it.

[Mike Ryan]

Have you ever had pizza before?

[Zaslow]

I can't believe you know people, or at least you're claiming to know people who rip off the crust of.

[Mike Ryan]

Why would I be asking myself, have I ever had pizz of a man? I'm confused on this. Then speak in your normal voice and stop speaking in that one. As my inner monologue. I need you to stay in character. If you. If you're going to attack my vulnerabilities from in there, stop being yourself and stay in character.

[Zaslow]

Holding the cheese and the tomato sauce.

[Jeremy]

With their fingers, it's impossible almost to rip off the crust. You almost have to cut it with scissors or use a knife because the crust is. The crust is attached to the rest of the pie. The rest of the.

[Tony]

Then he called under the pizza crust. Just a rough look.

[Dan Le Batard]

Speak into the mic. Roy is asking you to speak into the mic.

[Jeremy]

I'm right here. I'm here. The mic's here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you guys worried? I don't know if you're made sad, obviously, Vegas is something that is almost always exciting as you're taking off for Vegas. And then there's great regret on your flight home, especially if it's a red eye. But I did not know until recently that the Mirage, one of the giants out there, is dumb.

[Jeremy]

Done.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Rio is smaller off the Strip. Done. Like, there are problems in Vegas now because it's being affected, obviously, by a lack of disposable income in the economy in ways that are startling. And you guys are headed there. You're headed there for romantic weekend. This is you phony baloney. This is you being romantic, taking your wife of how Many years.

[Tony]

Oh, boy.

[Mike Ryan]

That.

[Greg Cody]

Quicker than that.

[Mike Ryan]

Quicker than that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, no.

[Zaslow]

Why can't I think about it for a second?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, my God.

[Zaslow]

I'm not allowed to think of it for a second? This year will be 19. I can't think about it. Do some quick math.

[Tony]

Saving a butte.

[Zaslow]

Oh, my God. Why does everything have to be a tip? My tongue?

[Mike Ryan]

Did you just say the tip of my tongue?

[Greg Cody]

Tabata.

[Mike Ryan]

I like that character better. That that character needs to speak more. The other one needs to speak less.

[Zaslow]

How do you know the parlor doesn't sell him?

[Mike Ryan]

The tip of your tongue is what you were saying? Yeah, you don't have to have everything.

[Dan Le Batard]

On the tip of your tongue. But this is. You're meant to do a romantic weekend. That's what you're aspiring to do.

[Zaslow]

Going to Valentine's, New kids on the Block. My wife's never been to Vegas. It's all gonna be very exciting.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cody, want to quiz you what is as saying here?

[Zaslow]

How do you know the parlor isn't seldom?

[Jeremy]

How do you know the parlor isn't seldom?

[Tony]

The end is where you got trained.

[Zaslow]

How do you know the parlor doesn't seldom?

[Jeremy]

That's what it sounds like to me.

[Mike Ryan]

The end of that is so much clearer than the beginning of that.

[Jeremy]

I do it one more time.

[Mike Ryan]

I got the hard part right. I don't know how you got the part right. That's not decipherable.

[Zaslow]

How do you know the parlor doesn't seldom?

[Mike Ryan]

This is good Attack.

[Jeremy]

I heard seldom.

[Dan Le Batard]

This was in reference yesterday to Jordan Hudson, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, wearing the shirt that she wore to North Carolina Duke. That makes fun of Bob Kraft and the name of the salon that he was caught sex trafficking in. So it wouldn't be the Parlor seldoming them. It would be how do you know the parlor doesn't sell them?

[Zaslow]

How do you know the parlor doesn't sell them?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, now that you say it, I can hear.

[Dan Le Batard]

But the how do you Was the.

[Tony]

Hardest part for us.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, so finally, I'm gonna surprise all you guys. Cody most of all right now, because we were making fun of. How do you not remember Bill Poli and whether you voted for Bill Belichick or not? And I was making the argument, well, in your 80s, that's that you can be forgetful about. And then we did a failed quiz with Greg Cody where he voted for his hall of famers. And he's had trouble with his memory just today. Right. Because he didn't remember that he's going to see the Eagles in Vegas. His wife told him, but he doesn't remember who he's seeing. So, Greg Cody, you're scared of what I'm about to do right now, right? Who did you vote for? The hall of Fame. Two weeks ago, when we did that quiz with you here, do you remember who you voted for? Because you voted for four people. And that laughter suggests that.

[Mike Ryan]

He's corny.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, I'm stalling right now.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you remember which sport you voted on?

[Jeremy]

Well, I'm a Baseball hall of Fame voter. I don't. I would remember whether or not I voted for a specific player, which is why when you ask.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who'D you vote for? Who'd you vote for?

[Jeremy]

Ask me if I voted for a specific player. That's the issue here.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can't get a one of them.

[Jeremy]

Because Tony Dungy was asked if he voted for Belichick.

[Mike Ryan]

Check.

[Jeremy]

And he refused to answer. If you ask me whether I voted for Jack Flackman for the hall of Fame, I'll tell you whether or not I did.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg.

[Jeremy]

I will take a quiz.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg, you're. You're trapped, right?

[Mike Ryan]

You can't. You cannot remember.

[Dan Le Batard]

A.C. you voted two weeks ago for four people.

[Mike Ryan]

We did a big show of it publicly.

[Jeremy]

It was. It was actually about. It was just before Christmas. It was probably seven or eight weeks ago that I actually voted.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, but I'm not asking you who you voted on your actual ballot.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm asking you for who you voted on in that quiz we had you take two weeks ago handed you. You don't remember either. Wait a minute. You don't remember either of them. You don't remember who you voted for for the actual hall of Fame, and you don't also remember in the quiz player.

[Jeremy]

I'll tell you if I voted for.

[Tony]

Not how this works.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg.

[Jeremy]

And I will guarantee my answer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg, do you remember playing this game with us two weeks ago?

[Jeremy]

I voted for Andrew Jones.

[Tony]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

In December, you voted for Andrew Jones. We had you hypothetical test. That wasn't actually an accurate.

[Joe]

With football, Greg.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was a Football hall of Fame. It wasn't a Baseball hall of Fame.

[Joe]

Do you not even remember that? We had you vote for the football.

[Jeremy]

Okay, that thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, my God.

[Mike Ryan]

This is unbelievable.

[Dan Le Batard]

You ripped Bill Polian. You said Bill Polian, and I was.

[Mike Ryan]

Like 81 years old.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's tough to remember stuff.

[Jeremy]

Billian was asked, did you vote for whoever Belichick.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you think. You think you'd get it right if.

[Mike Ryan]

I gave you guys? Give me.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Mike Ryan]

Please.

[Dan Le Batard]

Because I don't remember. But please give me who the names were that we put in front of him, because he only selected four of them. And I'm going to ask him right now. I'll ask.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

Larry Fitzgerald, Drew Brees. Those were the two obvious ones. And then there were two borderline guys. I. I don't think I voted for Adam Vinicieri, even though he made the hall. And I did not vote for Roger Craig and he made the Hall.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not actually even sure you're doing this correctly. We'll get an accurate appraisal of this in a second. Are any of you. Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Lebatard show. Do you live in a sane world when Luke Teakley gets in faster than Bill Belichick?

[Jeremy]

Embarrassing.

[Greg Cody]

What's going on behind the scenes with this stuff? This is so dumb. There's so many puppet strings being pulled, and no one wants to come out and say, no, I'm the person behind this. I. Those are. Mike, Those are two bonafide hall of Famers. Kraft has been on the ballot for, like, 14 years. I don't know how much better of an owner you have to be in that sport. What marks success, the. What your team's value is and how many championships you've won. He's been in the conversation my entire adult life. I don't understand how he's not a Hall of Fame owner. If an owner can make the hall of Fame, it looks like Robert Kraft and the head coach. Forget it. It's the greatest head coach of our lives. Mike. To be honest, it's making me not.

[Joe]

Even care about the hall of Fame anymore.

[Greg Cody]

It's like. It's a joke. It's a dog, and it's like, oh, is he gonna get in?

[Tony]

No.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, whatever. It doesn't really matter.

[Joe]

Like, he's obviously the greatest coach of all time.

[Greg Cody]

It doesn't really.

[Joe]

I don't really care about it anymore.

[Greg Cody]

What's with this? Like, I didn't vote for him because I thought he was gonna get in. Vote for the people that deserve to go in. Don't be like, that other person's got it. This is the most. It makes the entire thing look like a joke.

[Joe]

Greg, I have the full list of names that were available to you to vote for.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hold on to that for a second. Tony, you, dog and pony show, you have referenced a great many times.

[Greg Cody]

There's been a lot of them.

[Dan Le Batard]

I still don't have an answer for when the dog and show went out of Business. Because I don't think that that's a business.

[Greg Cody]

It hasn't gone out of business, clearly, with Giannis and with this whole hall of Fame thing. A lot of dog and pony shows.

[Joe]

All over the place.

[Dan Le Batard]

There has to be an extinction date on the dog and pony show, because I don't. There are no more traveling. There are no traveling circuses anymore. We will get to that list in a second. I have in front of me the four people that you voted for, but I'd like Jeremy tell me privately so that I can quiz him on this, because I'd like to play this game with him to see if he can actually remember who it.

[Jeremy]

I already said two of them.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who? You did say two of them, but you can't remember the other two. And I want to see if I can get you with any of the others that. Well, I don't know why you would be this confident. Like, I don't know why you would lean in your chair that way as if you've got this. You didn't even remember the sport we were talking about. You didn't remember the quiz. You didn't remember much of anything.

[Jeremy]

It's not about remembering. It's about. I thought we were talking about baseball. Breeze and Fitzgerald were the two. Two automatic picks. The others were controversial. I didn't. I don't think I voted for Luke Keakley, to be honest.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, forgive me here, because I'm delayed in this. Zaslow, you owe $50, okay? And money lion has brought back the Fine Bucket. Our thanks to moneylion, Banking, Lending Investment. Help yourself to Money lion because they are now sponsoring the Fine Bucket. And Zaslow got hit with the biggest fine that there is. $50. Because he killed David Baker, the retired of fame inductor who wanders the earth. No, not Rip. He's still alive. He's not dead.

[Zaslow]

You guys even know who he was? I should get credit for knowing who he is.

[Mike Ryan]

This is a masterclass from us.

[Dan Le Batard]

I do know who he is. I do know who David Baker is. And you owe $50 because you killed him. You said he was dead, and he's not dead.

[Zaslow]

Where do I got to give the money?

[Dan Le Batard]

I got to get an actual physical. Fine Bucket. Now you got.

[Mike Ryan]

You got.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is that 100 behind your ear?

[Zaslow]

This is where I keep my money.

[Joe]

Money.

[Zaslow]

I keep it in my ear.

[Mike Ryan]

No one's thinking about the pizza anymore.
