[Dan LeBatard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

What are you doing here?

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan LeBatard]

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

[Billy Gil]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

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

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's a guarantee.

[Chris Cody]

Has to be like, obviously. Minus 750 probably.

[Dan LeBatard]

Has it even started yet? I. He's got his head down right now. I can't even tell. He might be crying right now.

[Billy Gil]

I've got to finish this real quick. Like, Cody betrayed us again. And I'm not ready to do this right now.

[Chris Cody]

Scooping it.

[Billy Gil]

I. I need to concentrate on what I'm doing right now. Can you guys just handle this for a second?

[Zaslow]

Definitely gonna cry.

[Chris Cody]

I think minus 750's being generous.

[Zaslow]

I'm not gonna cry. I don't cry.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, like the cry price is you can't even take off the board. It's about how early he cries. It's like crying in the first 30.

[Zaslow]

[Dan LeBatard]

It says what? Yeah, I gotta open the.

[Chris Cody]

What's happening now?

[Dan LeBatard]

Here's a. Here's a tweet. It's official. Beloved member of Lebatard show is leaving.

[Chris Cody]

Who?

[Dan LeBatard]

I assume it's Stugatz.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Billy Gil]

I'm very often surprised by the sheer depth of feeling that I feel here in this. This bakery where we've made things for the last 21 years. I'm grateful for that. I'll always be grateful for that. But rarely as much as I am today, when I somehow have at once both a sickness in my stomach and a warmth in my heart. I'm going to try to get through this without getting emotional. And I ask your forgiveness in advance for when I surely fail. But I need to provide some context on the news I'm about to share. But before we get started today, because I think many of you who care too deeply about this show and us are going to absorb it the same disorienting way I did. And it's all going to take a little time to process for all of us to get on with the show. A show that isn't ever going to be quite the same after today. So after a decade and a half of glorious anarchy, Billy Gill's final day with us is tomorrow. Yeah, I know. It shocked me, too. He's leaving us for a bigger job at Spotify, and I'm both sad and happy to announce that. Sad because someone I care about deeply is going. Happy because someone I care about deeply is also growing. You have two choices when a surprise like this lands on you. You can be selfish and feel left behind, or you can open your heart and rejoice in getting to see all that is up ahead. Billy both grew up with us and never grew up with us. But he has children of his own now, and he's career driven. So he seeks more adult, creative challenges than just babysitting Stugats and me all the way to the end. It turns out we all got to watch him outgrow his childhood bedroom. Grew so much that he hit his head on meadowlark ceiling on the way out the door. We've worked together for a long time here. Too long, some might say. And no matter how fun it looks to the outside, we work in a cauldron. Sometimes it cooks. Sometimes it burns. But after many, many years. Too many, some might say. We all know that this cauldron is where everyone eats every workday. And so some of us have been doing that, eating together for decades now. Plural. And there are parts of this that will always feel like home to people who care as deeply as Billy does. He knows he will always be welcome here. We don't even have to do that thing about the key under the mat. He knows where all the hiding places are. He knows where all the keys are. No one really knows how much Billy does around here. Not even me. Especially not me. This thing is an unholy beast to produce every day. The sloppiness of feature, not a bug. The hosts more bulls than butterflies. Billy's gentle grace behind the scenes and creative coloring in the scenes are not things that can be replicated ever, never mind replaced. All of this will be harder without him. Obviously, our soul won't be the same. I'm not even going to try to pretend it will be. He might be the most popular character we've ever had. But on his way out, I would like you to know just some of the things that he was. Things beyond how much better he made Stu Gotts and me and the show every day I once was celebrating some big success our show had that he obviously and always had a part in. And I told Billy to just rent a limo, have an all expenses paid party night out, and just send me the bill. This was for months of work. He sent me a receipt for $84. As I recall, it might have actually been less than that. He had a chance to lead the country's biggest radio show, the morning show at espn, almost as soon as we got there. But he turned it down to stay with us. He stopped doing his beloved people character, which gets universal applause, and he never told me why, though I'm assuming it was because it reflected stereotypically poorly upon our people. I'm pretty sure that he leaves our doors without an enemy, even though I think Tony would be totally justified in making him one. And many, many years ago, when Mike Ryan was still a baby, I asked Mike to tell me every single thing he needed as an executive producer to replace Hawk, a friend who had known me since college. Mike pointed to Billy and just Billy and said, just him. All I need is him. And damn it if they didn't do as good a job in knowing me and tolerating me and helping me and understanding me over the years, as I'd known as a best friend for two decades before I met them. My studio at ESPN was meant to look like a Cuban kitchen from the 1950s. Me and Papi never get that far. Never get to the middle of Sports on television, in my father's second language, representing Miami. If Billy wasn't always working on making us better from another room inside that house, I do not know how to say goodbye here. I do not. I don't know how to end this because I'm in no big hurry to see it end. But it must have been super confusing to Billy as I saw him cry for the first time ever while telling me of a decision that clearly pained him. To see the smile spreading so widely across my face. I have not given him that smile much over the years because of wherever my repressions have been. So maybe he leaves me, us and this. But that gratitude, that, that does not leave with him, that stays here. And it stays here forever. You could have helped me make it funny, Billy. You could have helped me make it funny. I sent it to him the night before. 6pm Gets back to me. 7:15. Feels like a skit, bro.

[Chris Cody]

You're making changes that are necessary. Difficult, but necessary.

[Greg Cody]

But again, it's my responsibility to do what's best for us going forward.

[Billy Gil]

Let's hear the first brunch of this.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, welcome to the 2024 NFL Draft. I'm Billy Gill. Welcome, Billy. Why can't we just be satisfied saying that they're all in the top five? I don't think that we. And I can't speak for anyone else, but like, I don't think that we really ever faced here in Miami as Cubans because of the strong Cuban community, what it is that immigrants are facing nowadays. We're here with Tim at his Halloween house. Tim, the decorations are incredible. What are your tips for people who are not as talented as decorating as you are?

[Billy Gil]

You got to make sure you go out there right after Halloween the year before, so you're 364 days ahead of time.

[Zaslow]

All right.

[Chris Cody]

The tree.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

It's brutal. I'm glad that you're crying.

[Billy Gil]

I'm a blubbering idiot, Rob. I need this to be funny. Like, look, there's an old. There's an old timey baseball player. Rob.

[Chris Cody]

I know I said Josh Allen has a stupid face.

[Dan LeBatard]

You just pushed stunt in. There we go.

[Billy Gil]

How's that?

[Chris Cody]

Why? Why, why? Billy, last week as we mentioned Senator Peter Welch, we caught up with him and we had him pick USC at Michigan and he accurately predicted the winner.

[Billy Gil]

Are you going to vomit on. Is there any chance that you vomit on your keyboard?

[Chris Cody]

It's possible. No, I get that, but I guess. But not in so many words, but you don't get it. Happy that you're back.

[Greg Cody]

Hey, that's great to hear.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is.

[Greg Cody]

This has been the high point of my. Of my tenure so far.

[Chris Cody]

This is an edition of bet. The House of Representatives.

[Zaslow]

Just a moment.

[Chris Cody]

And I can tell you, this week, we did not speak to a senator. Here it is. It's time to bid the House of Representatives. Bid the House.

[Billy Gil]

The House.

[Chris Cody]

Can we call it a day with this?

[Dan LeBatard]

No, we gotta eat an entire raw.

[Billy Gil]

Onion, put it on the pole gear.

[Chris Cody]

If you were tanking, would you tell me? Tanking? What is no tanking? Tanking is not trying your hardest to win ball games in every day. We're trying to win ball games every day. If you trade your best players in exchange for prospects, it's unlikely you're going to win more games in the immediate future. When you take the field, you have an opportunity to win each and every day. I repeat each and every day. You never tell your team that you're not expected to win. Never. Not in. So what now? You think now? Now? Now. I can't tell you how to think. Like. I see your mind. I see how you think. I don't like that. That's your mind working like that. Dan Levitar show on ESPM Radio.

[Billy Gil]

World star Nancy Pelosi. What's up?

[Chris Cody]

I knew there was one person for this job. Someone's gonna be here through thick and thin. And there's a bunch of haters like Pablito saying you're a traitor for leaving a temple. And you know what? Ignore him. I said, you know what? That Tipo, he's an empresario. Suave, bro. That guy wants billete. This guy.

[Billy Gil]

Welcome back, Billy. And I don't know where this particular tension is gonna end up. Okay, you're. Yeah, you're close. The brat bus. You got your arms around each other, and Guillermo's moving his face away because I think he fears you're scalding hot coffee breath. What he is saying there, it is so wrong what the president of our country is doing.

[Zaslow]

Here we go.

[Chris Cody]

And the pitch. Oh, God.

[Greg Cody]

A home run on the first.

[Billy Gil]

Welcome Derek Jeter. And that concludes our Marlin coverage for the season.

[Chris Cody]

And I'm not going to get into the coaching moves.

[Billy Gil]

So, Guillermo, tonight you are again rounding the community in a spirited form of exercise. Well, the Levitar show showdown starts now with Billy Gill, better known as Guillermo. What are you thinking about? Well, if there's one thing we know about Guillermo, he shouldn't think. He should just do. And look at Amin watching on. You can see him watching on Amino for your deal. Life for dear life. What? No.

[Chris Cody]

This is a Cuba baseball jersey. This is double. Dad, if you're listening, don't take defense or offense about me calling my car an idiot.

[Billy Gil]

You never just go to commercial. There's.

[Chris Cody]

I could always not have Alka Seltzer, and then Chris would have a tummy ache, and he'd be irritable, and this wouldn't be a fun day for everyone. So you know what I said, hey, my stomach hurt a while back. Let me just leave the Alka Seltzer work in case someone else has a stomach ache. I feel like a thank you is in order, and that's not what I'm getting right now.

[Billy Gil]

Very nice of you.

[Chris Cody]

We're here for the Baseball Bites showcase, where I'm gonna try new food. Food at Marlins Park. Pretzels, chillaculus.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, my God. You are. You are a warrior hero. Your courage is seismic.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm someone that's constantly adding stuff to different carts on random websites. Like, there's a teal Marlins hat that's been calling to me for, like, two and a half years that I'm constantly getting advertisements for is something eventually I'll purchase because I keep those things in the cart.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Lite, but I want to talk to you about Miller Lite with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose.

[Billy Gil]

Hi, everybody.

[Dan LeBatard]

When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends. I consider us friends.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, me too.

[Dan LeBatard]

We're off and toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with?

[Billy Gil]

With Miller Lite.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's right. Miller Lite. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Lite in your hand. From jaw dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful is that? Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Is that your favorite sound?

[Chris Cody]

No, it is a horsey.

[Dan LeBatard]

A horsey. All right, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller Lite is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1975.

[Billy Gil]

That's right.

[Dan LeBatard]

And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose.

[Billy Gil]

I know.

[Dan LeBatard]

So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller Time is always a good time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that beer sound one more time? And the horse sound one more time. I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good. Miller Lite, great taste, 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com Shane to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate. Responsive Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wiscon. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce ounces. No, it says.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, says.

[Dan LeBatard]

Howdy, folks, it's Mike Ryan. Super excited to talk to you about the official ticketing partner of the Dan LeBatard Show. They've been a good partner of ours and I couldn't be prouder of it because, folks, you know, I really use game time and I practice what I preach here, people.

[Billy Gil]

Don LeBatard. Go ahead, Billy. Ask him your question.

[Chris Cody]

Is gymnastics gymnastics Pop. Possibly.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, wow.

[Billy Gil]

Wow.

[Dan LeBatard]

Stugats.

[Chris Cody]

I got some phlegm in my mouth. Yeah, it's okay. Thank you.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Is gymnastics possibly corrupt? This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Billy Gil]

I'm going to miss people, but I already miss people.

[Chris Cody]

There's people going.

[Dan LeBatard]

My favorite comment during all that was Billy, was people.

[Billy Gil]

I didn't see you guys getting emotional during that. I saw you guys just looking straight ahead and wearing a mask of sheer strength and masculinity.

[Dan LeBatard]

I want to track back a few minutes ago. Do you think you're emotionally repressed? Is that what you were trying to convey? That you are emotionally repressed? Do you believe this?

[Billy Gil]

You guys have helped open me up a bit. That's not something. None of that stuff. Crying on television. Sure. Shit. Not something I did on my first 15 years of television. I was just talking to Zaz about this a second ago. How lonely it is to do shows by yourself because Zaz does Zaslow show 2.0 by himself. Does it very well, but it's lonely. You guys have helped me a great deal there. You don't know how much you've helped me. People don't know how much Billy has helped us over the years, even as they love Billy. But you're not comfortable with any of this, right?

[Chris Cody]

Me? I mean, yeah, you know, that's what it is kind of. Now trying to edit something real quick. We have going on later.

[Zaslow]

And you're too busy for all this right now.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, it just. We started late and now apologize. Trying to use the brakes to finish editing something that we got cooking up. And now that we're gonna have no break times and do you want to.

[Billy Gil]

Explain why we finished late? Do you want it? Chris, Cody, do you want to explain your father being late again? The reason we started late is because Greg Cody was supposed to scoop everybody with Billy Gill is leaving and create the chatter necessary to draw people over to our show to start and hear the beginning of the show. But he didn't release it on time because your father is a fool. Like, he's known this since yesterday, but Your father is simp. That's not an act. Your father's a fool.

[Chris Cody]

Well.

[Zaslow]

And he'll have an excuse. He'll have some type of excuse as to why it came out several minutes after nine when obviously it should have been like 10 or 15 minutes before nine. He'll have some type of excuse. And it's the same thing with Cody being late here. When he shows up, it's like, dude, leave 25 minutes earlier than you normally.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, but there was.

[Zaslow]

Okay, to make sure there's no traffic, leave 25 minutes early. And he refuses to. So whatever happened today, this happened. This. Why didn't you release it 15 minutes earlier than you wanted to?

[Chris Cody]

In Greg's defense, there's probably cyber traffic today. You know, more cyber traffic than normal. Not using the right wifi. I mean. Yeah, what is he to do? Am I to believe that those leaks are coordinated?

[Billy Gil]

Well, this one was. This is what Mike said to me during this. Like, we're just sitting here tapping our feet, and it's got, you know, this takes a minute to produce. So we're just waiting for Cody and waiting for Cody. And Mike says to me, the one time you actually gift this to him, he fumbles the bag. Chris, can you explain to me? Because I told you when I left here yesterday, I told you, tell your dad Billy's leaving. He's gonna love that. And your. Your smile, the smile that came on your face was strong. And then he peppers me all night. When can I release him? And I'm like, go talk to the people in charge. Go talk to the people who have the schedule on time. We should call your dad to ask him because he totally botched this. He's not going to get the clicks because he didn't have it first. He. He doesn't know how to be first in the information age when there's cyber traffic and he doesn't want to leave his home on time.

[Chris Cody]

He had all the info, plenty of time last night. This is ridiculous. I have no idea why he didn't get it out earlier.

[Zaslow]

Wake up a little bit earlier and make sure it gets done.

[Billy Gil]

That's it.

[Chris Cody]

He can't control it. You guys think you hit send or however it works, and it takes as long as it takes. Remember Napster? That used to. You did download and you'd have to come back six days later to get a song.

[Zaslow]

I stole so much music.

[Chris Cody]

I was gonna say, what was that guy's problem? Lars? What's his deal?

[Zaslow]

Come at me, Lars.

[Chris Cody]

What's his problem?

[Zaslow]

I stole so much, dude. Lars, I stole so much of your music.

[Tua Tagovailoa]

And what.

[Chris Cody]

What do you think his net worth is? God, please. Crying over whatever spilt milk he's doing.

[Billy Gil]

All right, can you explain, Zaz? Because I think people think it's bit. How frustrated Chris's dad has made you over the years, and it's not bit. I've gotten texts from Zaz. I'm not kidding for. For 20 years about Cody's behavior.

[Zaslow]

I just. I was. I was late here one time, right? Okay. So I started coming in here regularly. I don't know. In the last five, six months. I was late one time. I was so embarrassed. It was because of traffic. Now I leave earlier because I made sure that's never going to happen again, but Greg refuses to adjust. Like, nope, this is when I leave. And situations like this today, it's like, no, this. This is when I release my story. Do it 10 minutes earlier.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is such bullshit. So one time in our history together that I genuinely feel Miami has a shot at a national title. And you're getting the out of here. You're not. It's not even about winning number six. It's about shoving it in your face.

[Chris Cody]

Me.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is bullshit.

[Chris Cody]

Wait, we're talking about me? Lars is worth $350 million.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, they're a successful band. You heard of them, right? Metallica.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

What's this Crybaby? I would have been 400, though, without Napster.

[Billy Gil]

I guess in the defense of stealing music, Billy's headed to Spotify, and we are happy for him for the moment.

[Dan LeBatard]

You got two days to ruin that for him.

[Chris Cody]

Exactly right. Greg reached out to me. He's like, would you like to comment on this? I'm like, no, thank you. Like, I don't know what their situation is. And if they want that out there, I would prefer if this did not happen.

[Dan LeBatard]

So tomorrow's your last day, right?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's what.

[Chris Cody]

Greg back next week. If I get fired before I start.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, how does this work with the bucket?

[Billy Gil]

Can.

[Chris Cody]

If you lose the best pick of all time today, no consequences.

[Billy Gil]

No.

[Dan LeBatard]

You have to show up to your initial 100% Spotify meeting.

[Chris Cody]

All right, okay.

[Zaslow]

But, you know what's. You know what's bullshit like in the bucket? If he gets a swap and then he swaps with someone who has something really good. Get the hell out of here with that nonsense.

[Billy Gil]

You haven't suffered, actually many consequences when it comes to punishments, but when you have, they've been hugely memorable. Like this season, you did the Ted Lasso. Which consists of just putting on a fake mustache.

[Chris Cody]

No, no, no falsehoods. I had to be positive. And again, I went above and beyond with the mustache. And UD reached out to me personally, said you're good. Thanks, ud.

[Billy Gil]

Okay. I'm sorry to do this. I think the rules should probably be more lenient for you. The last couple of days happening here. I'm looking for a second. No, let me see if I can find it. It's not here anymore.

[Chris Cody]

The.

[Billy Gil]

The penalty for lying, because that's not true. You did not get reached out to.

[Chris Cody]

Say it's the same place it was last time.

[Dan LeBatard]

That was off mic, Billy.

[Billy Gil]

But it's not there. So instead, this is the penalty.

[Chris Cody]

Minor penalty.

[Billy Gil]

Two minutes, sport.

[Zaslow]

Came out of your mouth.

[Billy Gil]

We will be nicer to Billy these next couple of days. And to prove that to you. Yeah. That onion sound that haunts me like I was truly disgusted and felt bad for what would be a later hospitalized Billy Gill. The eating of a whole onion seems not smart and seems disgusting, but it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Also has nothing to do with kidney stones. Let's be real.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, that too.

[Chris Cody]

Dehydrates.

[Dan LeBatard]

I did him a solid, got him to the hospital quicker. You're welcome.

[Billy Gil]

The way that we're going to celebrate this is obviously with the best producers in the land spending months to produce something to celebrate a great career here. 15 years here. That's one hell of a run. So we had Chris Cody cook up top five billies because he spent a lot of time on this the last few months working on. How can I say goodbye to my good friend who I rub his back during skits and he touches my face? And how do I celebrate this man I've loved for 15 years? I know I'll do top five Billy's.

[Zaslow]

I'll give you billies who are better than you.

[Chris Cody]

You want to see emotionally repressed. All right, get out of here. Dan, I've arrived.

[Billy Gil]

Any. Any. Oh, lie here.

[Chris Cody]

No. Number five, Billy Bean. Number four, Billy Crystal. Number three, Billy Joel.

[Dan LeBatard]

Just number three, huh?

[Chris Cody]

Number two, piano man, Billy the Marlin.

[Billy Gil]

That's right. Says.

[Chris Cody]

And number one, this is gonna be. It's Billy Gill.

[Billy Gil]

Holy. No wonder it took you months to prepare something so carefully sculpted.

[Dan LeBatard]

I had Billy Crudo.

[Billy Gil]

What about Billy Corbin? How does Billy Corbin knocked in?

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, no way.

[Billy Gil]

How does he not get an Oli?

[Dan LeBatard]

He's second on the list of billies that get number six rubbed in their face.

[Billy Gil]

Can you get for me, please? Can you get for me? Just. I think. I don't know if zsas's favorite clip from that is what I'm about to show you, but I think I want to go around and nominate from the video. And if you're only listening to this on audio, I suggest you check it out on YouTube. The montage the folks did here for Billy was lovely and covers a lot of ground. But my favorite moment. Do you have it there? Of. Of me, emotionally repressed. Me sobbing. Sobbing while talking to the actor Rob Delaney about the death of his child and the death of my brother. This I believe. Zaz, if ZAs were coming up with a top five list of the moments that we just showed in that montage, I think he would choose this as number one. The places that you and I talked about the loss of your. The places that you and I talked about the loss of your son. At the time that we about it, I didn't even know my brother was sick when we had that conversation. And in the time since then, my brother has died. And I will tell you, Jesus, that the pain of that has been. I don't know what your pain is exactly Right. I can't possibly know. Even though. Yeah, you've written a book. But I feel like I lost a son cuz I raised him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's.

[Chris Cody]

It's brutal. And I'm glad that you are talking about it. I'm so incredibly sorry. I'm glad that you're crying and that people can hear that because the. The pain.

[Billy Gil]

There's an old timey baseball player here, Rob. Yes, thank you. Like, I can't cry in front of these people. Do you know how weak it is? Do you know I'm a. I'm a blubbering idiot, Rob. I need this to be funn. Like, look, there's an old. There's an old timey baseball player, Rob. I know.

[Zaslow]

It's my favorite.

[Billy Gil]

See how well it goes when you actually pay the punishments? I mean, sometimes you end up in the hospital, but sometimes. Sometimes you stare at a camera with a mustache dressed as a player from 1919. Billy, is there anything that you would like? And we'll have plenty of time for this over the next couple of days. I can get to the sports stuff. And we got a loaded show filled with a lot of guests to talk to.

[Chris Cody]

Congressman today.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, we got to talk about the House.

[Chris Cody]

Got to solve this government shutdown today on the Dan LeBatard Show.

[Billy Gil]

Or bet the house. Or we could just bet the house.

[Chris Cody]

That's what I need to finish editing. We have to get. It takes a long time. And we're again, we're a little bit late, so is there promise because of Greg?

[Billy Gil]

Cody? Chris, get your dad on the phone so we can hear his.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, another guest.

[Billy Gil]

His excuses.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can we veto this?

[Billy Gil]

I just want to call him. I just want to call him and get and hear his excuses. We don't have to see him at a zoom or anything else. Just a phone call so that I can find out for Zaz what I want to guess what the excuse is he's going to make for botching this. But is there anything that you would like to say or would you like. I know you're not comfortable or I'm assuming you're not comfortable with some of this. Is there anything that you want to say or do you want to just save it for tomorrow now?

[Chris Cody]

Arrogant. You're talking to me right now.

[Billy Gil]

Okay, okay.

[Chris Cody]

I'm sorry. I broke a camera when I was in the penalty box. I threw a baseball at it.

[Billy Gil]

Well, just throwing. Look, I am not surprised that your last acts will be of sabotage. That you will leave Maximum Anarchist rolling a grenade across the floor, but you're going to be wearing a costume your first day at Spotify.

[Chris Cody]

Well, we'll see how I do. I pull out a winner again. You told me you're. You're good, so I built up some credit.

[Billy Gil]

Where did this lying penalty go? On my board. There used to be a penalty for lying on here.

[Dan LeBatard]

Christia said. Jesus Christ, Mike.

[Billy Gil]

Wait a minute. You're getting sexier by the moment. Down. We haven't even gotten St. Jason Sanders.

[Chris Cody]

You're unnoticed.

[Billy Gil]

Wow. Oh my God. What?

[Dan LeBatard]

In spite of him.

[Chris Cody]

Oh wow.

[Dan LeBatard]

I love you Duke.

[Zaslow]

This is the D Ler show with the stuff.

[Billy Gil]

The Miami Dolphins mess continues to swirl in a way that makes Billy say off air that the Dolphins should move the franchise and Zaz get excited about a fire sale. So let me just take you through the video and the audio from the last couple of days so you guys can see the mess the Dolphins presently the noisy mess the Dolphins presently have on them that is unlike the mess around other 1 in 5 teams. Let's begin with what it is Tua said after they lost a game that he won with less than a minute left and shouldn't have been lost and was not his fault in any way that they lost. And he made sure to point out to you afterward that it was not his fault in any way that they're losing.

[Tua Tagovailoa]

I think it starts with the leadership in helping articulate that for the guys and then what we're expecting out of the guys, right? We're expecting this. Are we getting that? Are we not getting that we have guys showing up to player only meetings late? Guys not showing up to player only meeting. Like there's a lot that goes into that. Do we have to make this mandatory? Do we not have to make this mandatory? So it's a lot of things of that nature that we got to get cleaned up.

[Chris Cody]

To be clear, you're saying some players.

[Billy Gil]

Were late or missed. Late.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Thank you.

[Zaslow]

Definitely not his fault in any way. I'm glad he pointed that out. Including, you know, another multi interception game this time three of them.

[Billy Gil]

It was a three interception game, right? It's not a multi interception game but two of them. I mean the first one wasn't his fault and the last one was irrelevant.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, stop making excuses.

[Chris Cody]

Not irrelevant I've ever seen before.

[Zaslow]

I saw the Miami Miracle. You know about Kenyon Drake.

[Billy Gil]

You thought that that's where that play was going to end up at the end. It was bad and sour punctuation and three interceptions obviously is bad, but I don't know.

[Zaslow]

I can't predict the Future.

[Billy Gil]

Okay, here's McDaniel reacting to what it is that Tua said. And it's exactly what a quarterback needs to not do. They all know it. They've known it. Marino used to do this expertly. The only job is make sure the questions get away from your locker. Like that's. Don't say anything ever about anything that can become a headline. Don't ever do that.

[Chris Cody]

You know, regardless of intent and you know what was on onto his mind after a loss as the franchise quarterback, that's not the forum to displace that. I think he knows that now. I do honestly believe it was not. There's no ill intention. But you're talking about, you know, I think kind of a misguided representation of player orchestrated film sessions. And you know, the bottom line is no one's going to be happy and always is looking for reasons for failure to succeed. So you're trying to look for reasons that you know, you can attribute to losses and there's a, you know, heavy as the crown of being a franchise quarterback.

[Dan LeBatard]

Just rambling nonsense.

[Zaslow]

Nonsense.

[Dan LeBatard]

This seems so bad.

[Zaslow]

It used to be so cute, that whole shtick. It's not cute anymore.

[Dan LeBatard]

There's nothing good here.

[Billy Gil]

Here.

[Dan LeBatard]

You guys are a joke.

[Billy Gil]

When. When Zaz says used to be cute. Zaz has arrived at Tua's unlikable which caught me totally off guard. But let's get to Tua's apology here because this is the kind of stuff you don't want to be doing. Wasting energy on publicly and privately while trying to prepare to get out of a 1 in 5 hole when you can't stop anyone from running the football.

[Tua Tagovailoa]

As, as a leader of this team of the Miami Dolphins. You know the, the comments that that had been said, I Would say, I've. I've made a mistake, and I'm owning up to that right now. You know, I've talked to guys on the team about it, talked to the leaders about it, and, you know, that they. They know my heart. They know that the intent was right. But no matter the intent, you know, the intent can be right. But when things get misconstrued or however the media wants to portray it, you know, that. That leaves a void of silence and a lot of questions for the guys on our team. Now, being one in five, you know, we talk a lot about, all right, we got to get this going. We got to get this going. Come in, excited to go to work, forget about the noise. And I feel like I just added onto that for our guys, you know, for myself, I got to look at myself as the leader protecting the team. I don't feel like I did that to the best of my abilities. I felt like I let the emotions of the game get to me after the game. And, you know, that's something that I can learn from as a leader on this team. And what happens in house should be protected. And none of that should have gotten out and so want to publicly apologize about that. Want to move forward. And now I want to focus on the Cleveland Browns.

[Dan LeBatard]

Is the game plan for the Cleveland Browns rambling?

[Billy Gil]

My God.

[Dan LeBatard]

Did he write that in a Sharpie on the whiteboard?

[Chris Cody]

I'm just watching, like, the worst soap opera ever.

[Zaslow]

I slipped into a coma in the middle of whatever that was. I think he's crossed over a line now where he's kind of unlikable. Yeah, I. Let's. Let's go back a few examples.

[Dan LeBatard]

I have one example.

[Zaslow]

You're going to say, mind that.

[Dan LeBatard]

Glass bottles on a boat. You don't do that. Yeah, people can cut their feet. Irresponsible.

[Zaslow]

I love him.

[Chris Cody]

He went and got that concussion and ruined that season, too.

[Zaslow]

Not what I was going to say, but.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, really? Oh, you're a bad guy. If you have a glass beer bottle on a boat, you don't do that.

[Zaslow]

Remember the beginning of training camp last year, and first time he's talking to the crowd, he gets on the microphone and he tells everybody, show me the money.

[Billy Gil]

Who does that?

[Zaslow]

It was like. And we all thought it was kind of weird in the moment.

[Dan LeBatard]

Cartoonish Hollywood character does that.

[Zaslow]

Who does that?

[Chris Cody]

That.

[Zaslow]

It's an odd thing to do. Then you had earlier this season when he was asked, you know, how do you recover over something? Or how do you. How do you take into the Criticism and say, you know, my family loves me. I just go home and everything's okay.

[Billy Gil]

All right? You guys have turned on him because he's losing. And I understand the leadership. No, but this is when he's the.

[Dan LeBatard]

Leader 100% and his politics.

[Billy Gil]

Yes, you guys have turned on him. I want you to see how Chris Cody was looking at him. And I'll remind you that the way that Chris Cody talked about him was show me the money was super confident. Look, my quarterback's confident. I love that I have a confident quarterback. And he told us in that interview where Chris Cody was playing with his drawstrings and staring longingly at the Dolphins finally have a quarterback. He told us that that was a bet. He had a bet with one of his teammates that he wouldn't do that. And he won the bet. That's what he was. That's what he was doing.

[Chris Cody]

Short on money.

[Zaslow]

So he has a bet. Show everyone. I can look like an asshole.

[Billy Gil]

Let's call your father. Speaking of assholes, Chris, let's call your father and have him give us his explanation for why he botched this the way that he botched this this morning.

[Chris Cody]

The thing is, like, if he just owned it, I think you'd feel different, too. It's like he does these things. Then he, like, bachelor's like, oh, sorry, Like, I want to.

[Billy Gil]

Cody or Tua.

[Chris Cody]

No, Tua. Like, just own it. Like, you want to be a villain, be a villain.

[Billy Gil]

Hello? Greg? Greg, what happened? Greg, what happened?

[Greg Cody]

What do you. What do you mean?

[Billy Gil]

Why were you.

[Greg Cody]

What do you mean?

[Billy Gil]

We're calling you on air. We're calling you on air right now. We're just curious why you broke the news late and why our show was waiting around for you to break the news.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that's. I can't answer the latter, but I did not break the news late. The. The story I wrote posted online in the Miami Herald at 8:58 and. And it's doing very good business. It's already in just a matter of minutes. It's already the second most read thing I've written this month. And so I'm all happy on this.

[Chris Cody]

That's the first.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's incredible considering how bad the Dolphins have been.

[Chris Cody]

Was the first them being 15th in the league?

[Greg Cody]

No, the first one happens to be their loss. They're lost to Carolina, just randomly, not that anybody cares.

[Billy Gil]

We'll break that. We'll break that record for you. Billy will break that record for you. But do you understand how it is that it wouldn't Quite work to break the news two minutes early because it doesn't give people the time to go from wondering why Billy is leaving, talking about why Billy is leaving, being curious and wanting answers to why Billy is leaving and have only your article to look for. It would have been better for you to not do that with too many minutes because then you would have given people time to react.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, well, we, we had, we had a technical issue on this end. Cybertrack that, that delayed it by about 10 minutes. Nobody wants to hear about that. You know, I'm not an excuse maker. No, my main, my main thought is that I'm sad that I'm not in today to share in the farewell to Bill.

[Billy Gil]

Tomorrow's the last day if you want to come in and work three days.

[Chris Cody]

This week in Greg's offense, he has the, the knee thing and he signed a two, two day a week deal.

[Billy Gil]

So. But if you want to say goodbye to Billy, tomorrow's his last day, not today. So you do still have time. You could beat traffic if you start early, you can beat traffic, get here on time tomorrow and be here for Billy's last day.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, that would require me to cancel an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who wants to repair my knee. So I'm going to decline that. But I'll miss Billy. Nobody will miss Billy more than me, who has come to my defense over the years. And I patented the phrase. Thank you, Billy. I patented that phrase.

[Chris Cody]

Copyright. No, you didn't.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Zaslow]

Greg, Greg, Greg. Your Billy tweet this morning came out at 9:03.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, but the story posted at 8:58. I'm a busy man, you know, I have things on my plate other than, than this story, believe it or not.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, so you're saying now that something is more important than clicks? You're. You're saying publicly that something in your life is more important than clicks?

[Greg Cody]

Of course, yeah.

[Billy Gil]

What was it?

[Greg Cody]

Friends and family Health? I have perspective.

[Billy Gil]

What were you. Those, those 13 minutes that you were late, was that because you were tending to friends and family?

[Greg Cody]

That's exactly right. And by the way, I croon a tribute song for Billy Yeti and I put together a tribute song with his heartfelt. And I look forward to you all hearing that. My voice is terrible right now.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah. Okay, well, just, it's, it's something going around.

[Chris Cody]

It's all the singing.

[Billy Gil]

It looks like the rest of you. See you later.

[Zaslow]

Greg, I tried your. Greg, I tried your K cup trick.

[Chris Cody]

I liked it.

[Zaslow]

It tasted good. I felt like I got Good value.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Zaslow]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

How about that?

[Greg Cody]

Yes. I appreciate.

[Billy Gil]

You want to tell the people that.

[Greg Cody]

You'Ve ever given me.

[Billy Gil]

You want to tell the people who weren't listening yesterday what the K cup trick is so that they have some context to what it is that you're saying.

[Zaslow]

Yeah. So Greg yesterday said that he does the K cup to make his coffee. And rather than throw it away after usage, he believes that there's still some good, you know, coffee bean grinds still in that cup.

[Billy Gil]

Cup.

[Zaslow]

And he uses it again for an extra cup.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. What a money saver.

[Chris Cody]

Drinking your coffee. Drink it with Cody.

[Billy Gil]

Look how happy Jeremy is there. We should have the narcissist cam on. Jeremy. They're just listening to the sound of his own voice. We all know he loves the sound of his own voice.

[Chris Cody]

You're gonna get to hear more of it, apparently.

[Billy Gil]

I hope so. How much more do you have there? Do it. Do we. Did we ever find out whether that's music we're allowed to use or not? Because I hope so.

[Zaslow]

I go learn.

[Billy Gil]

Mike was very strong on air, telling me that it's music that we can use. And then after the show, I'm like, can we. Are you sure we can use that? Mike was slightly less sure. We used Steamboat Willie as soon as he became available. As soon as he got out of Disney's evil clutches, we used that and he became public domain. I believe the greatest song. Because John Tesh called Monday Night Football's theme the greatest song ever made. I'm surprised to hear that's public domain. I'm surprised I heard you guys talking before the show about how you remember a day when Monday Night football started at 9 o'. Clock.

[Zaslow]

Well, because what happened was, you know, the guys out there were complaining that, number one, complaining about the two Monday Night Football games, which I love when there's two Monday Night Football games. But it's 7 and 10pm this week. The Monday Night Football, like, 10 o' clock is way too late. And then I had to remind everyone when I was growing up, Monday football's at 9:20, Dan. That's so late. 9:20.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, but there were only three channels back then. And so.

[Dan LeBatard]

No, no. In the 90s. No.

[Billy Gil]

When?

[Dan LeBatard]

When what?

[Billy Gil]

When? No, when Monday Night Football. Let's see what time I have here. When Monday Night Football was starting. And at its largest, it's when it was three channels. That's.

[Zaslow]

No.

[Dan LeBatard]

I growing up as a kid on abc, Salt n Pepa doing what a Man intro for Dave Wanstadt.

[Zaslow]

Oh, Remember they had like the guest musicians do the intro.

[Dan LeBatard]

Cable was around in the 90s.

[Zaslow]

Man, what a time to be.

[Chris Cody]

Remember the local pregame show with.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, Savalo and Hank would be there.

[Chris Cody]

The good, the bad, the ugly.

[Dan LeBatard]

We're here at Shula's.

[Billy Gil]

Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Do you prefer when there are two Monday night features football games? Why not? Yes or no? Because I may be longing for a time, a romantic time, that is, Mike just pointed out on my timeline doesn't actually exist. When there was one game that everybody was watching on Monday night that we were watch, that America was watching something together. And it was the one thing. Hell, I mean, when Zaz talks about. Think about how outdated this is. When Zaz talks about growing up watching Monday Night Football, whether there was cable or not. The rights were so fractured back then that you would get caught up on all of Sunday's highlights on Monday Night Football. They put the package together for you and it was something that everybody was watching. You were not getting your highlights instantaneously. You were waiting for Monday Night Football and Howard Cosell to deliver you. What happened on Sunday, Dan?

[Zaslow]

Sunday Night Football night. Chris Berman's two minute drill. Must watch. Because I had to know what happened in all the other games.

[Chris Cody]

I thought it's the fastest three minutes in sports.

[Zaslow]

They changed it because then like, they wanted to pack in some more odds. It used to be fastest two minutes.

[Billy Gil]

They changed it, but it was never two minutes. It was always 25 minutes.

[Chris Cody]

They're like, boomer, you've earned an extra minute.

[Billy Gil]

No, I think it was always 25 minutes. And they called it the fastest two minutes in sports.

[Dan LeBatard]

Either way, they had to stop calling it that after Rick Patino took the Louisiana job.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, the Dolphins. And to the thing you're doing on making him unlikable is because he's 1 in 5 instead of 5 and 1. Like you're going to find the reasons because you're mad at this football game.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, bad quarterback is unlikable.

[Billy Gil]

He. He gave you hope. They gave you hope. They gave you basically 11 games of hope when they were nine and two and then lost to Tennessee at home on a. In a Monday night game that was a standalone game. That's the only one anyone was watching that night. There weren't two of them that night.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's when everything went wrong right there.

[Chris Cody]

Our fault for sure. That blown lead, that watch party.

[Billy Gil]

I. I am longing for a romantic time. I think Zaslow's probably got this right. If I gave you 10 games on Monday night. That would be the preference.

[Dan LeBatard]

We have to reverse the curse. It was a watch party that did this. Now to turn things around, you're gonna host a block party at a Flanagan's in Kendall.

[Billy Gil]

This is gonna be huge and fun. Billy going. It's a block party.

[Chris Cody]

What day is this?

[Billy Gil]

It's the 30th. It's soon here if you. It's very near your house. We're putting.

[Chris Cody]

We're finally putting one of these before Halloween. Everybody knows I like to get my Halloween trick or treating in early.

[Dan LeBatard]

So it's presented by good friends of Miller Ly.

[Billy Gil]

It is unknown if Billy will show up, but the rest of us will be there. And. And it is a fun block party that we have planned.

[Chris Cody]

I can't wait to see you all there. I'm sure you're really excited to see me and not Billy. Fifteen hundred dollar costume contest will be there at the Flanagans in Kendall October 30th. Good fun.

[Dan LeBatard]

Does Jeremy think he's replacing Billy? Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

What are you doing here?

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan LeBatard]

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

[Billy Gil]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

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

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.

[Dan LeBatard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.
