Episode Overview

This episode takes listeners on a typical wild ride with Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and the rest of the crew. What starts as a seemingly minor culinary argument about cream cheese escalates into a hilarious and heartfelt debate, opening doors to classic “Local Hour” shenanigans: multigenerational family gripes (Greg and Chris Cody), insider Miami sports talk, and their trademark needling humor about everyday things. The discussions slide seamlessly from bagel toppings to NBA national TV snubs, and eventually to the eternal hope (and despair) that is the Cleveland Browns QB situation, all sprinkled with rapid-fire jokes, honest admissions, and playful grievances.

Cream Cheese Armageddon

[01:13–13:20]

The Incident & The Argument

• The episode opens “charged up” after a morning altercation: Greg Cody and his son Chris get into a heated shouting match.
  • Dan: “Sometimes someone takes out a grenade and rolls it in and…oh, we got ourselves a show today.” [01:26]
• This kicks off a wider debate—what’s the right cream cheese for a bagel?

The Cream Cheese Debate

• Crew quickly takes sides: “Bar” (brick/block) cream cheese vs. whipped.
  • Stugotz: “I like the bar cream cheese. That’s the cream cheese I really like.” [03:24]
  • Mike Ryan: “I want...thickness with my hands. I want to have to work. I want that thing to almost break the plastic knife.” [03:27]
  • Amin: “It’s terrible to put on a bagel because it’s such a laborious occasion every time…” [03:36]
  • Frustration emerges over the messy logistics of bar cream cheese versus the “sissified” whipped version:
    • Stugotz: “Whipped is for sissies.” [04:15]
    • Dan: “Bar cream cheese just for making cheesecake. That’s it? ...It’s not for eating with toast.” [04:17]
  • The group crowdsources:
    • Dan: “Juju, put on the poll: block cream cheese or whipped cream cheese.” [04:43]
  • Jeremy briefly denies the existence of “block” cream cheese, before apologizing:
    • Jeremy: “Hand up. My bad… I dug my heels in because I was worried about my Jew credentials.” [07:52]

Shmear or Not to Shmear

• The cultural context comes up:
  • Stugotz: “If you’re real, you call it shmear.” [11:53]
  • Stugotz: “That’s a Jewish thing. It’s a deli. I don’t call it shmear. I call [it] cream cheese.” [12:01]
• Topping purity:
  • Greg: “...An ingredient you don’t need: chives. Let’s keep the cream cheese pristine.” [12:32]
  • Stugotz: “Couldn’t get the hell out of my life with these chives.” [12:38]
  • Dan: “What’s wrong with the regular cream?” [12:47]
• Potential rap name tangent:
  • Dan: “Rapscallion. There it is. Oh, that would be a great rap name.” [13:08]

---

Family Tensions: Chris vs. Greg Cody

[05:43–11:04]

• Chris and Greg pull back the curtain on their working dynamic (and mild dysfunction) as a professional father-son duo.
  • Chris: “He does annoy the...out of me all the time. So that’s what I have to deal with.” [05:43]
  • Greg’s gripe: Chris never uses his carefully crafted topic suggestions.
    • Greg: “I spend 20 minutes every morning...coming up with good notes. And I don’t even....He doesn’t even acknowledge he got them.” [06:35]
    • Chris: “You’re annoying.” [07:10]
  • They air out Greg’s rejected topics:
    • Dolphins exhibition wins, Marlins (“rip”), Chinese robot Olympics, Little League World Series weight limits, and “NCAA punishment: a wrist slap to Michigan.” [09:53–10:18]
  • Greg: “If you think it’s tough working with your dad, imagine working with your son.” [06:35]

---

Spotlight: The NBA National TV Snub

[16:50–25:00]

Miami Heat – Forgotten on National TV

• Greg’s serious topic finally gets airtime: The Heat only got 5 national TV games.
  • Greg: “Are the Heat seven times diminished from the top teams in the league?…I just think, wow, this is how far the Heat have fallen in terms of national regard.” [17:44]
  • Dan: “For the Heat to be on [just] five times despite all of these opportunities…is pretty shocking.” [17:55]
  • Crew breaks down expanding TV access (Amazon, Peacock) and why Heat aren’t box office anymore, despite their history.

“More or Less?” Game: Who Gets More TV Love?

• Dan leads the crew in guessing which teams have more or less national games than Miami:
  • More: Indiana Pacers (9 games), Portland Trail Blazers (8 games)
  • Less: Utah Jazz (2), Chicago Bulls (3), Charlotte Hornets (3)
  • San Antonio Spurs: “a lot more” (22 games)
• Stugotz: “How can the Hornets be on national TV three times?” [24:04]
• Factual surprise: Every team gets at least one national TV game by rule. [24:39]

Economic Impact

• Local broadcast implications, fewer national games equals happier local TV employees (e.g., Jeremy gets paid more when not pre-empted). [25:38]

Throwaway Grievances and Classic Banter

[28:40–30:58]

Headphones: Left or Right?

• Greg poses a typical “Greg Cody” topic: why do headphones label left and right?
  • Greg: “Why does it matter which one's left and which one's right?” [29:10]
  • Dan: “I think this is all a scam. It’s like the Twix thing.” [30:01]
  • Greg and Dan agree to “fight the system” by purposely wearing their headphones backward.
    • Greg: “Not only that, I feel empowered. …I am bigger than my headphones.” [30:59]

---

NFL and Browns QB Talk

[31:13–41:17]

Browns Quarterback Situation

• Shift to football: Joe Flacco named Browns starter, fanbase fever dreams of Shadour Sanders.
  • Dan: “How long before a QB switch happens? Flacco is the number one for now…” [33:16]
  • Greg: “Joe Flacco is a pretty damn good safety net. He’s one of the better backups in the league.” [34:15]
  • Mike Ryan: “Joe Flacco took that and shoved it up people’s asses.” [34:52]
  • The Browns' first 7 games detailed; tough schedule likely brings “quarterback controversy” chatter early.

Old Guy Empathy

• Crew finds themselves rooting for older QBs as they age:
  • Mike: “As I approach 40, it’s just rallying around the old guy that people are writing off. But I still hate Aaron Rodgers and will actively write him off. It’s a weird place that I’m in.” [36:07]
  • Brief stats break: Flacco’s 2024 performance with the Browns, career symmetry.

Conspiracy Theory Corner

• Mike introduces a Colin Cowherd theory: Nick Saban, Arch Manning, and the Browns, connecting dots between the Haslams, Peyton Manning, and Jimmy Sexton.
  • Dan: “That’s a lot. He laid it all out as the host of a podcast with the word Illuminati in it. Keep your third eye open.” [39:44]
  • Mike: “League circles!” [39:54]
  • Round-robin of who’s “inside the league circle,” ending with playful exclusion of Zas.

[B]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[C]

I always love when the morning starts with a little bit of a charge. Zaz. Like, a lot of times, what's the charge? A lot of times we walk in here, everyone's kind of sleepy. Hey, how's it going? Oh, did you see the game last night? Okay.

[D]

Ha ha.

[C]

Oh, socks. Your socks are too low or too high. And that's it. Like, that's. We're gonna start the show now. Okay? But sometimes someone takes out a grenade and rolls it in and. And I'm like, oh, we got ourselves a show today.

[B]

So who did that here today?

[C]

Oh, man, I just witnessed a shouting match. An intense shouting match. A sincere, intense shouting match.

[B]

I miss Al's eating a bagel.

[C]

Gregory P. Cody and Christopher Cody.

[B]

You know what? It's funny that you say that because as I. As I was eating the bagel, I. I said, like, I heard something between Chris and Greg, and I said to myself, man, I really wouldn't want to work with my father. Like, oh, man, like, that's weird to me. If I was showing up to work and, like, I work with my dad, especially. Especially in, like, a talent, an entertainment capacity.

[C]

Me and my dad, it doesn't matter what we're doing, we would be arguing the entire time, right?

[B]

I don't want to work with my dad.

[C]

And if you guys think I'm sarcastic, wait till you see the tidal wave. That is my father of sarcasm. All the time. All the time.

[B]

And so, like, does your dad find you funny?

[C]

I don't think so.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know if my dad finds me funny.

[C]

I think. I think, no, he doesn't. Which is weird because he does the same jokes to me, and I'm like, wait, hold on. But when I do it to him, he's like, you're overreacting or whatever. So that relationship in a professional environment, I don't think would flourish. Right.

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

But Greg and Chris seem to make it work week by week. But some weeks are better than others.

[B]

No, you're right. I heard. I heard Chris again as I was going to make a bagel. I like bagel with good cream cheese. Yeah, I like the regular cream cheese because at home, my wife only buys the Philadelphia, the whipped cream cheese. Like, whipped cream cheese is good and everything, but here, see, I like making myself a bagel. Cream cheese here, because it's a bar.

[C]

What do we have here?

[B]

Yeah, here they keep. It's the bar cream cheese.

[E]

It's a great take. I hate whipped cream.

[B]

And that's the cream cheese I really like. I like the bar.

[E]

I like a little, like, I want. I like thickness with my hands.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

Like, I want to have to work. I want that thing to break. Almost break the plastic knife.

[C]

Mike's got it.

[A]

I hate that It's. It's terrible to put on a bagel because it's such a laborious occasion every.

[B]

Time you have to open up the.

[A]

No one ever puts a foil back neatly. If you're sharing, you have to chop off, like, a quarter of it, and then you have to just, like, work.

[E]

That's the good stuff.

[A]

That's the good stuff. I don't like that.

[C]

The thing I hate the most is when I put it on. And then now it's ripping up the ground of the. Of the bagel underneath.

[E]

That's where you just leave that cream cheese there.

[C]

Go get more.

[A]

I hate that.

[C]

Oh, man.

[E]

You don't have to kill yourself trying to spread this.

[C]

I need it.

[E]

If there's a big chunk there, that's fine.

[C]

I want it to like the commercials. Just this nice white covering.

[A]

That's where the whipped. That's where the whipped stuff comes in handy.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. Whipped is for sissies.

[C]

Bar cream cheese just for making cheesecake. That's it? No, it's for cooking. It's not for eating with toast.

[B]

It's for putting on my bagel and showing.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

So I like. Me. I like making myself a bagel here. All right, number one, I'm Jewish, so I love bagels. Number you're Jewish? Yeah. And number two, they just taste great. So I like making myself a bagel here because I love the block cream cheese what they keep here. Anyway.

[C]

Wait, hold on. Juju, put on the poll. Block cream cheese or whipped cream cheese.

[E]

I don't think you're going to like this.

[F]

Blowout cheese doesn't exist, guys. It's just another tub of cream cheese that just isn't whipped. But the block that you're talking about, that's butter. There is no such thing as block butter.

[A]

Okay? You don't get to talk to me.

[F]

I'm also Jewish.

[B]

I know about cream cheese and bagels, okay?

[A]

The block cream cheese that comes in aluminum foil. The brick cream cheese. What are you talking about?

[B]

You're so wrong.

[F]

But that's being. That's being packaged within the tub. I know.

[B]

Off a tree for butter, guys. Being packaged.

[C]

The brick.

[A]

Who is this guy?

[C]

I don't know. Some kid.

[B]

Are you Even Jewish?

[C]

Oh, 100%. Oh, let's have a Jewish off.

[F]

Let's not.

[B]

So I love making myself a bagel here because you got the block cream cheese. You got the thick cream cheese. So as I was going to make myself a bagel, I did. I did hear Chris. He stormed in. He was storming into this room, into the main studio side, and he was saying, I'm about to go off on my dad.

[E]

Well, all right, your first question. I do love working with my dad on our podcast. On this podcast now, I say that he. He does annoy the. Out of me all the time. So, like, that's what I have to deal with. But what you saw there was him mad at me that I didn't throw his topics on. Like, because, you know, we both got here late today, traffic was bad, so I didn't throw his topics on the sheet when the topics he sent today were just Marlins out of it. Dolphins 2, 0 in the preseason.

[B]

He just looked at, though.

[E]

Or whatever. He.

[D]

Well, they're. They're. Don't. He's even misquoting my. What I said was unbeaten in two games.

[C]

Unbeaten.

[E]

Whatever.

[D]

No, not whatever. I mean, if you're going to quote my notes that you don't use, at least quote the Mac.

[E]

But it's just like, there was nothing there. I'm like, oh, this is good for this. It was just like, what do you.

[D]

Want me to write an entire paragraph? I'm writing my notes in three or four or five words.

[E]

Just send a topic that feels like, oh, this guy's trying to think of topics.

[D]

If you think it's tough working with your dad, imagine working with your son. This guy over here. I spend 20 minutes every morning, and it's early. It's not even light out yet. I spend 20 minutes every morning looking through ESPN, looking through Google, really working ahead on this, coming up with good notes. And then I don't even. I send them to him. He doesn't even acknowledge he got them. And then he doesn't use any. So we get the show topics for today. Nothing here. Nothing from me.

[C]

I was confused. I said, where's Greg's topics?

[D]

Thank you.

[C]

And then Greg said, I sent them in. I don't know what happened. And next thing I know, Chris is in here yelling.

[E]

Yeah, I mean, it was just, you're annoying.

[D]

What?

[A]

Greg, it is a Tuesday. Do you have it? Back in my day, perhaps.

[D]

Not today.

[B]

Taking this week off.

[E]

That's a whole nother thing. He wants it to be a SUI category and he's done ready for it.

[C]

How many?

[F]

One.

[D]

Oh, right. It's a one, man.

[C]

And the winner is.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Thank you. Because be a close vote, though, because.

[E]

They'Ll throw a tantrum. We will make it a category with one.

[C]

I mean, I think it's a great category.

[B]

That is funny.

[E]

It was going to be none.

[D]

I can't lose.

[E]

And now the SUI nominees for best Back in my Day. And then applause.

[B]

I like that Chris makes it seem like Greg's topics he hands in are dolphins, Marlins, heat.

[E]

That is what it is. Let me read them to you, please.

[F]

While you're doing that, I'd like to issue a formal apology. I dug my heels in on it there not being a block of Philadelphia cream cheese. I know what you guys are talking about. It's just the wrong decision to buy it that way with the aluminum foil wrapping. It's a crazy decision to make. There's a tub that has the same type of cream cheese within it. But hand up. My bad. I dug my heels in because I was worried about my Jew credentials and I didn't want them taken away the way that, you know, that was dugouts.

[C]

You wriggle out that you did because you went from the block doesn't exist to, oh, no, I prefer the whip.

[F]

No, no, no, not the whip. It's still you can get the block style cream cheese within a tub as well. Getting whipped is crazy conventional.

[A]

When people close their eyes and they think of cream cheese, I think they think of the tub of what it.

[F]

Is that I'm talking about.

[A]

Jeremy is describing.

[F]

I'm the everyman. The tub for juice.

[A]

There's the tub of the hard stuff. We like the tub of the whipped stuff. And then there's the blocks, the square groupers of the hard stuff, too, that are only good for fettuccine Alfredo.

[C]

Michael, I might have to divert from you now because I've always thought the stuff in the tub was whipped.

[A]

No, there's whipped.

[C]

There's one that has branded as whipped.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

No, I take the tub stuff, man.

[A]

And then there's the tub. That's regular cream cheese al dente.

[C]

I'll do the regular tub one. I won't do the block because the block. The block is harder than.

[A]

The block is basically rubber cement. You could fortify steel structures with a block of cream cheese.

[B]

Love it.

[C]

Nah, can't be.

[E]

He actually did give me one topic that I should have like. Granted, I didn't put them on the board because we were running late. Like, it wasn't like I was like, these are crap.

[G]

I feel like you're just reading these now.

[E]

No, I read them.

[D]

I sent them to you. When? This morning?

[E]

No, early. But I ran late. That's why they're not on the board. Because I was running late. But then you attack me with, why aren't they on the board? And I get defensive and it's like, look, they weren't that good anyways.

[B]

That's really what it does kind of suck. Greg, he hasn't acknowledged that he received them. He didn't get.

[D]

You know, he doesn't. It says red. Whatever. I could look at my phone. It says red 643. No response.

[E]

Do you get read?

[D]

Thanks, dad.

[E]

What are you talking about?

[D]

A text. I send you a text that I had emailed you. My show.

[E]

Dolphins unbeaten in two exhibitions.

[A]

Super Bowl.

[E]

That's topic.

[G]

It's a good question.

[D]

Going.

[G]

We'll get to that later.

[E]

Kane should be favored over Notre Dame.

[D]

He should be continue.

[G]

Some are saying that this one I actually like.

[E]

Little League World Series should have a weight limit.

[F]

What?

[D]

Okay.

[G]

He's not. Okay, we'll get to that one for sure.

[E]

Marlin season rip.

[G]

Okay, we'll get to where that one would be. Yeah.

[E]

Chinese robot Olympics are a farce.

[G]

Oh, I like that.

[C]

Chris, you made it serious.

[B]

He didn't read these. He didn't read these.

[E]

I got the first. I was late. I just said the real reason they weren't there. I was in shambles.

[C]

So Greg actually brought up the operative question. Would you rather work with your dad or with your child? You guys all have younger children, so it's not as clear. Zaz, you and I have older children.

[B]

Teenagers.

[C]

Yeah. I absolutely, a million times would rather work with my dad than with my child.

[D]

Thank you.

[C]

My child, I would actually like. With my dad, it would be an argument, but I would know how to make it content and funny. With my child, everyone would be like, yo, I think something's wrong with me.

[E]

People say that about me, though, on our show. Is there more than I'm just an.

[G]

Asshole after the robot Olympics. Was there more? That was all of his topics.

[E]

There's a couple more.

[D]

Okay. He's selectively skipping the ones that nc.

[E]

It's just kind of headlined NCAA punishment. A wrist slap to Michigan.

[B]

I will be honest. I got my topics list right here. That gets printed out for me every morning. I don't have a single one from Greg.

[E]

Yeah, because that's on me.

[C]

Because he was late.

[E]

That's on me.

[C]

Ball went off him.

[E]

Coach Heat, the team that national TV forgot.

[C]

All right, let's start with that one. By the way, here's a picture of the tub of cream cheese that I'm talking about. Right?

[B]

Yeah, I like that.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Yeah, that's good.

[F]

But that's original, not whipped.

[C]

Yeah. Okay.

[E]

Correct.

[F]

So that's what I'm talking about.

[C]

I'm talking about. I'm. But I'm saying the brick is not that. The brick is harder.

[B]

Right, but it's.

[F]

No, but the brick is.

[E]

No, no, the brick is that same. It's exactly the same. It's.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[F]

It's just more difficult for you to.

[E]

He's right.

[G]

Harder walls, so you can scrape it easier.

[F]

Also, if you're real, you call it shmear.

[C]

He's calling you out, not me.

[B]

Yeah, I. Look, I understand. That's a Jewish thing. It's a deli. They calling it shmear if you're putting.

[F]

It on a bagel.

[B]

Einstein Brothers tried to, like, capitalize off of that by calling a schmear. Whatever. I. I don't. I don't call it schmear. I call cream cheese.

[C]

That's the brick I'm talking. I can't do the same material.

[A]

Just pack.

[B]

Yeah, I love.

[D]

See that?

[B]

It just looks authentic. Original, authentic.

[C]

That's the OG that's all authentic right there.

[B]

That's real. That's the OG Philadelphia.

[F]

It's like liking different color M M's and thinking they taste different. It's exactly.

[B]

They do taste different. Okay, look at simple ingredients. That's all you need.

[D]

Yeah. And an ingredient you don't need. Chives. Let's keep the cream cheese pristine.

[B]

Couldn't get the hell out of my life with these chives.

[E]

I love scallion cream cheese.

[B]

No, no, no, no.

[D]

Not much.

[C]

No, no, no, no.

[D]

Keep it simple.

[C]

Just a regular cream cheese. What's wrong with the regular cream?

[B]

No one's ever. No one's been. No one's ever eaten a bagel and bagel cream cheese and they stop mid mid bagel and they say, man, you know what could really make this bagel better? Scallions.

[C]

I've said that scallion delicious. Always makes me think of scoundrel. I don't know why. Like if you like scallions, I wonder what's happening there.

[B]

Rap Scallion Rapscallion.

[C]

There it is. Oh, that would be a great rap name.

[D]

It would be.

[B]

Oh my God.

[D]

It'd be great.

[C]

Rapscallion.

[G]

Copyright.

[C]

There it is.

[D]

Chive an onion. Look at that. Come on, get out of here.

[C]

Disgusting.

Don LeBatard I got somebody here making fun of me. How old do you have to be? To reference Shecky Green? Man, I went comedically there with the funny name of a comedian. That's on you for not knowing who Shaky.

[D]

Oh, you gotta know who Shaky Green.

[C]

You don't have to know who Shecky.

[B]

Green is, but your ally.

[C]

No, no. Yeah, I don't like my allies.

[D]

Belt st have the soul of a borscht belt comedian. I should be in the Catskills in 1945 opening for Shaggy Green. That's who I was destined to be.

[B]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[C]

So, Greg, the team that national TV forgot, the Miami Heat.

[D]

It's amazing.

[E]

Give us everything you got.

[D]

Okay, all right, I get the reasoning. If you're a national TV executive. I get the reasoning. When Jimmy Butler leaves in a huff after pouting all year, they lose a big chunk of star power. They've struggled in the playoffs two years in a row. They're out in the first round. Last year, they lose by a record number in the first round. It was an embarrassment. I get that. But it's still a major franchise that's won three championships, and I'm just saying five. They're on TV five times on national TV. To put that in perspective, there are five teams that are on national TV 34 times. I'm just saying, are the heat seven times diminished from the top teams in the league? If the answer is yes, that's sad. I just think, wow, this is how far the Heat have fallen in terms of national regard.

[C]

This is what I would say, Greg. First of all, the national TV schedule to add to your point, given that there are more national TV games now than ever before between Peacock and Amazon and NBC, abc, espn, there's going to be at a certain point this year, national TV games seven days a week. We've never had that before. So for the Heat to be on five times despite all of these opportunities, all of these at bats is pretty shocking. Having said that, when you look at how national TV schedules work, it's it's several things. It's the truly great teams, but not just teams that we think are going to be great teams that proven from a year ago. So a year ago Oklahoma City wasn't on a lot, even though we knew it was a really good team. Now they're on TV all the time because they're the champs. Because now it's they're cemented. The Houston Rockets got Kevin Durant. They're going to be on national TV a bunch of times. And then there's the old standards of wherever Steph Curry is, wherever LeBron James is. Because all of these things are what audiences are primed to tune into. The heatI don't think the Heat are going to be bad. I just don't think audiences will hear Miami Heat and Turn it on and they don't think of all those things. You're talking about the championships and the luster of years past.

[D]

No, I agree with that. But this is what it also means to me. Let's see if you agree. The core Tyler Herro off an all Star season and Bam Adebayo, that core, along with arguably and Norm Powell and Norman Powell, along with arguably the best coach in the league and arguably still one of the biggest names in an executive in the league. That combo doesn't mean anything.

[C]

It doesn't mean anything to the viewers.

[D]

Right.

[C]

I mean, that's the reality is if I say Heat Cavs tonight, how much does that move the needle versus if I say Knicks, Cavs or even Pistons. Cavs. Right. Cause. Or Pistons, Knicks. Right. Because the Pistons last year had a kind of splash. And so there's a feeling like, oh, I kind of want to see where this is going. There's nobody in or outside of South Florida.

[D]

Splash.

[C]

Who wants to see where this Miami Heat thing is going?

[B]

They won 37 games last year and played an uninteresting style of basketball. Why would they be on more than five times?

[D]

Again, I'm not arguing that only 5 versus 34 is a travesty. I am closer to lamenting the diminishment of the Heat brand.

[C]

Well, that's a. Now that's a topic.

[B]

I'm sure that's a different conversation.

[C]

Everybody wants to die.

[A]

I just don't think there's a foil here. I don't think that there have been years where they're off of a Finals appearance and you do the comparative shop shopping and you say, hey, that's not right. They're. They're on national TV enough.

[B]

Right. When's the last time the Heat had the maximum national TV game? You got to go back over. Over 10 years ago.

[A]

Yeah. It has to be the LeBron days, like the tail end of that. But I remember there was one year that they made it to the finals, they didn't have a Christmas Day game. We've seen that again with Indiana. Going to the finals no longer guarantees you the right to the Christmas Day game, but they're right where they should be. I think they are in that mix with the Kings and the Blazers.

[C]

So how many guys know the actual answers to who's on national TV the most in the least? And all that.

[B]

Oklahoma City is tied for the most.

[C]

I want to play a game with you guys. More or less national TV games in the Heat. I like this game, right? More or less. Let's start with. Let's start with a nice easy one, a softball here. The Indiana Pacers. Now, Indiana Pacers obviously went to the finals last year. Very exciting, fun style of basketball. But massive injuries have made them less competitive, less desirable. So Indiana Pacers more or less national TV games in the Miami Heat.

[D]

I would say more.

[B]

More.

[D]

Although close.

[A]

Got to be more.

[C]

It's more. It's nine. They're on nine times, right? Oh, yeah. I Like this little music. All right, next up, Portland Trail Blazers. Similarly kind of struggling season last year, but they did have an uptick. They've kind of moving forward.

[B]

I'm going less.

[D]

Ty. 5.

[A]

I'll side with Greg.

[C]

Sorry. They have more national TV games than the Miami Heat. 8.

[B]

Yeah, I was gonna say. Now, can we admit, though, the reason they have more is because you gotta fill that 10:30 slot.

[A]

Whatever.

[B]

There's only a handful of teams that can be featured because they're West Coast.

[A]

That's right. That's right. Let's pacify ourselves with that one.

[C]

All right, let's go with the Utah Jazz.

[B]

Oh, it better be less.

[C]

The Utah Jazz. Come on, they're building. They just got Ace Bailey, who's one of the top prospects in the draft.

[B]

He doesn't even want to be there.

[A]

Mountain west time zone. Zaz.

[C]

Yeah, it's amazing.

[B]

I have no idea what time that is there.

[D]

I say yes. More.

[C]

More games in the Miami Heat?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

Less.

[C]

Less. Mike, what do you got?

[D]

Less.

[C]

They are less. They have two national TV games. I wonder which ones. Probably San Antonio. So we get Ace Bailey versus Dylan Harper. Speaking of San Antonio.

[D]

More.

[B]

Yeah, a lot more.

[C]

22?

[D]

Yeah. Oh, wow.

[A]

That makes sense.

[C]

All right, last one for you guys. And this one is a familiar foil. You see them all the time. The Chicago Bulls. Them in the Heat the last, like three or four years. Same number of wins. They see each other in the play in every year. They're in a major market.

[B]

Yeah, I'm gonna go less. That team sucks.

[A]

I'm gonna say market dictates much more.

[D]

Yeah, I'm going to say more as well.

[C]

Sorry. Zaz has it right. The Chicago Bulls are less with three national TV games.

[A]

Surprising. So this is a bit of a meritocracy.

[C]

Can you name the team with the least national TV game?

[B]

Charlotte Hornets.

[D]

Gotta be.

[C]

Charlotte Hornets have three national TV games. Sorry.

[A]

There's Wizards.

[C]

Wizards are tied with two with the Utah Jazz and two other teams. Or, excuse me, three other teams.

[B]

How can the Hornets be on national TV three times?

[C]

LaMelo Ball.

[E]

Who's the team that has the most that you're like, this seems not good.

[C]

The most. And I'm like, they're that like, who has too many that this isn't going to be bang for the buck?

[B]

I think Portland happens.

[A]

Candidates.

[C]

Actually, it's pretty good this year. Maybe Boston, but Boston will be good. Boston at 25. Dallas with 23. Depending on that.

[B]

Makes sense. You want to see Cooper flag Even if they're not that great.

[C]

I would say Philadelphia with 14 national TV games. Yeah, I don't know about that.

[B]

Does anybody have zero?

[C]

No. Everyone has to be on national TV at least once.

[D]

Is that a rule?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

It's a nice end to the music.

[E]

Or just a pity thing where they're like, all right, we'll give you all one.

[C]

Well, I mean, like, the teams do complain. It's funny. They complain when they're on national tv. Not enough. And they complain when they're on national TV too much.

[B]

Look, NBA player does two things better than anyone else. Complain and not play.

[C]

I'm not talking about the players. I'm talking about the team.

[E]

Who cares the most about it, though? Is it the front office? Is it like the coo?

[C]

Mostly the broadcast people, right? The money. Money people. Because when you're on national TV and I don't know the rules now, it used to be like, Turner had exclusivity. So if you were on tnt, that means your local team did not broadcast anything. And so while Jeremy might be like, cool, I got the night off. I can just go to a game and hang out. The people upstairs are like, well, that's lost revenue for us because if we hadn't been on national tv, we would have been on broadcast TV and we could have made the money.

[F]

I also would like to get paid. So I'm pretty happy that the Heat have fewer national TV games.

[C]

There you go. Keep Jeremy employed.

[D]

That's an interest. I like it.

[C]

The.

[B]

I feel like Greg's topic got us off on a good start. I'm gonna be honest.

[C]

I like it. Look, the way you made it seem when you walked in here. Because this to set the scene. He waltzes in here and then he just yells, Dolphins, 2, 0. Marlins, RIP. And I was like, oh. In my mind, I was like, greg, those are kind of like.

[E]

I mean, he had those and that's. But this is a running thing. This isn't one week. Like, this is every week. It's a running complaint.

[C]

Chris, you're totally in the wrong. He had some cool ass topics on there, man. I wrote some of them down. We're going to get to them.

[G]

Robot Olympics.

[E]

Robot Olympics is definitely weight limit.

[C]

I'm like, I'm. Look, man, it's like, man, this is standard Levitar.

[E]

Probably offensive, the weight limit thing, but we'll get there.

[D]

Yeah, that's that.

[C]

Standard Levit.

[G]

Fat people.

[B]

Kids fat. Now he also can't play. Little League kind of sucks.

[C]

There's a kid in Little League who looks just like you. I don't know if you saw this. What?

[B]

Really? Like, like, on the series now?

[C]

Yeah. On Twitter. He looks like.

[B]

Oh, so he's like an adult. That's why I have a beer.

[C]

He's got like. But he's got, like, platinum blonde hair. But it's not like dyed. It's like. You know those kids that have like, Targaryen.

[B]

I used to have a great head of hair.

[C]

Yeah, I did. What color?

[B]

Brown. Light brown.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I want to see a picture of you. When you.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

I will pull. I will send one to television.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

We got.

[G]

Is it like, long or you had like a buzz?

[B]

No, no, I. I had a good, full head of hair.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. All right. Let me. Someone.

[G]

And what happened? Like, why?

[B]

What happened?

[G]

I didn't. I mean, I didn't mean to. Like, you didn't mean it like that, but, like, why? Why? You look terrible now. Respectfully.

[B]

That's some.

[C]

He said respectfully.

[G]

A question mark at the end.

[B]

It's not then because you said respectfully.

[D]

Respectfully put as well.

[C]

Yeah. Left the door open.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

I didn't say you look like exactly.

[B]

No, you just said, why do you look like that now? Yeah, I took it.

[F]

He said, why do you look terrible now?

[G]

I missed that.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

I don't know if that.

[B]

That's on me.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

This is one of the most spectacular venues with all kinds of character and hospitality, scenery. These people in this Kitty Task Valley, they love when you come to see.

[C]

What they have to offer. I'm JJ Harrison, Ellensburg Rodeo Clown, and I want to invite you you to the rodeo. Come hang out with us in Ellensburg. Great rodeo. Great time. Two performances on Saturday. One is the Extreme Bulls of the Year event. Do not miss The Ellensburg Rodeo, August 29th through September 1st. We'll see you there.

[B]

Don LeBatard.

[C]

Doesn't matter. Anywhere. We could do it in Buffalo or Baltimore either. You say you could do it where? Anywhere. Oh, whoa. Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. He said he could do it anyway. That's crazy.

[D]

Murder. Murder.

[B]

Tell him, Stugach.

[A]

I had no idea Mean had that in his locker.

[C]

That might be his best.

[A]

That's crazy.

[E]

I'm not kidding.

[C]

That's crazy.

[D]

Killer.

[C]

It's two America's dead. You don't get it.

[B]

This is the Don lebatar show with the stugats.

[C]

By the way, Greg had another topic. Greg. These are all heavy Greg topics and stuff. And I'm telling you, Chris, I'm not messing Around. He sat down and he says to me, why are there left and right, like channels on headphones? And I said, oh, because, you know, sometimes in stereo, they'll send some sounds on this side and some sounds on this side, and together creates a richer experience than if they were just all coming out from the. Each speaker at the same time. To which Greg rebutted, yes, but why does it matter which one's left and which one's right? And I was like, got me there.

[D]

Why is there an L and an R?

[B]

I think it's because the way it's supposed to fit on your head, there it is.

[E]

I think for, like, AirPods, it, like, they fit in your ear.

[C]

Sure.

[E]

But you're talking about these. I don't know. Why the cans?

[D]

Well, what. Is my head lopsided? What do I. Like, I need the big one over here because one ear is bigger than the other. What does that mean? I mean, the head is symmetrical.

[E]

You do have large ears.

[D]

Okay, I do. I have Cody ears. But the. The head is symmetrical, as is the headphones. I just honestly don't get it.

[C]

We all work in an audio environment, and many of us have been doing this for decades. Like, do you. Any of you guys have a real answer for this?

[G]

Well, like, the head. Like, your head.

[D]

Your.

[G]

Your side of your head's not flat. Like, if you look at your headphones, like, they'll. They'll, like, go out one way. If you put them on the other way, they don't really bend the other way.

[C]

If you flip it, like, I think if you flip it.

[G]

I mean, these.

[C]

Exactly the same.

[G]

These are. These are not that. But there are some that your head's not. Yeah.

[C]

I think this is all a scam.

[D]

It is a scam.

[C]

It's like the Twix thing.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Which one do you like, the left or the right?

[G]

They're different.

[C]

Twix, yes.

[G]

It's like a whole thing. They have two different buildings. The left building, the right building.

[F]

Like M and M's.

[G]

Yeah, green ones.

[C]

The green ones.

[D]

See, they get to charge more for the headphones by embellishing them with the letters L and R. That's the whole scam.

[E]

I've never seen headphones, like, when I'm shopping, like, oh, that one has L.

[C]

And R. They all do.

[E]

That's the good stuff.

[C]

They all do, because they're all in on the scam.

[D]

Actually, I don't think they all do. Now, I have seen. Which makes this seem even weirder that some still do. L and R because I have more. In fact, the headphones I wear on the Greg Cody show podcast that you always make fun of because they're so big. Those do not have L and R. I'm free to put them on however.

[G]

You know what I think you should do? Wear them the wrong way just to prove that there's no difference.

[B]

Today you'd be really uncomfortable.

[G]

Put the left on one side, the right on the other and just. I think you take down big headphones today.

[C]

I'm doing it right now.

[D]

Yeah, I'm doing it right now. Feels great.

[C]

Feels great.

[G]

Exactly.

[D]

Not only that, I feel empowered. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Okay. I am bigger than my headphones.

[C]

You sure are.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

You decided which way to wear that. You're not going to let the headphones be the boss of you.

[C]

You let Sony know, hey, I'll pick Zagaki.

[D]

You got that right, Jack.

[C]

So, Mike, the thing that you talked about a lot yesterday, we're like, well, stop. You know, don't let the door hit you. Whatever. Joe Flacco, QB1.

[A]

Everyone knew this was coming. Yeah, it'll be curious to see. I got one TV on, on mute that's locked in on first take to see how they make this all about Shador. I don't even know where Shador is on this depth chart. He's got an oblique injury. But it was a pretty manufactured talking point and I know the discussion is face of the franchise, the franchise qb. When it comes to the bad faith debate show topics that we've had about Dylan Gabriel and Dylan, he never had a shot really to start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns, it was essentially a promise they made to Joe Flacco. But I think that once Cleveland and their schedule is really front loaded, difficult once they start struggling, this will be a natural talking point that will have a lot more merit come the season. And that's fine and dandy. I just hope that we're not exhausted by it. But we're guilty. Look at the traction that our segment had yesterday. I will say Shador has got an it factor about him. He's from a big family in athletics. He's charismatic. When he was on the field for Colorado, hell, when he was on the field for Cleveland in that one week, he was an exciting player. So I get the conversation. Especially as a recovering former Browns fan, I know the allure to the next hope at that position. It's very rare to have two rookies that garner that. Also, I've never known Cleveland to be a team that has turned against a rookie quarterback. But They've never had two rookie quarterbacks on the roster at the same time and it seems as though the fan base is pretty much aligned. They are pro lower draft pick in Shador Sanders and they're kind of wanting to push Dylan Gabriel out the door. That's just my read on the situation.

[C]

So, Greg, yesterday we went through the Browns early schedule. I'll read it out to you right now. Week one hosting the Bengals. Week two at Ravens.

[B]

Week three, their first like five weeks.

[C]

Are hosting the Packers. Week four at Lions. Week five hosting the Vikings. Week six at Steelers. Week seven hosting the Dolphins. Right. So that's, that's their first seven weeks. So if I ask you how long before a QB switch happens. So Flacco is the number one for now, but given those first seven weeks, they're probably not going to be good, right? Maybe one in six, maybe.

[B]

I think it could legitimately start.05.05.

[D]

Yeah, I think it's. It's quicker than that. I think it's quicker than that. And meantime, I think it's a good thing for Cleveland and for the league that the anticipation of Chador's debut is really going to build. It's going to be something legit. Meantime, Joe Flacco is a pretty damn good safety net. I mean, he's one of the better backups in the league. I still call him a backup because he's not going to start after midseason, but he's pretty good. Like, if I have Joe Flacco in Miami, I feel much, much better about the quarterback situation.

[A]

Joe Flacco's got to feel a certain type of way about the narrative around him, as if he didn't just prove the world wrong in that uniform two seasons ago. Now he's, he's up there in age.

[B]

I don't know. You think he cares? What does he care?

[A]

He's written off the guy. The guy could barely get chances around the league.

[D]

But that's the fate of a guy that age. That's Andy Dalton. That's any number of quarterbacks who used to be pretty darn good. Russell Wilson is, is scrambling to still be a starter in this league. If you get to be that age, you really have to prove yourself every, every year. And Joe Flacco right now on some teams is the great veteran backup. It just so happens he's on this team.

[A]

The jets chose to have Tim Boyle on the roster over Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco took that and shoved it up people's asses. Right, Right. And I think I get the excitement around Shador, but I would also get, and this is just between the years of a Super bowl champion that is again, may I remind you, won the AP Comeback player of the year over a dead guy that came back to life. Joe Flacco should not be written off as casually as he's being written off.

[C]

Mike Ryan, the number one Joe Flacco defender.

[B]

Yeah. You sound like a Browns fan.

[E]

My dad just defended him, too.

[C]

I mean, good.

[D]

He is good. Joe Flacco's good.

[B]

It's a good backup, I guess.

[C]

Chris, is he too good to be Tua's backup?

[E]

Like, I'm with him on the. If it's through the backup prism, I'll give you that. He's above average, but he sold Joe Flacco more than I want.

[A]

This isn't a Browns thing for me. If anything, my Browns fandom. I always hated Joe Flacco because he was a quarterback for the Ravens. I hated all Ravens, hated all Steelers.

[C]

Edgar Allen Poe, everything.

[A]

I've softened on that stance a little. I still feel like a little poison to the Sealers. But that just may be Aaron Rodgers related.

[B]

That's Jessica Smith at this point.

[A]

It could be Jess. We'll talk to her about the Sealers a little bit later on. I think that as I approach 40, it's more like, yeah, come on, old guy. That's. It's just rallying around the old guy that's inspiring you. Yeah, just rallying around the old guy that people are writing off. But I still hate Aaron Rodgers and will actively write him off. It's a weird place that I'm in.

[C]

Do you guys have that where if there's an athlete that who is your age, you tend to like him a little bit more?

[A]

I'm. I got there.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Ah, I got there. I'm at that point now. You said like Rich Hill. Yeah, I mean, I. Dick Mountain. I was all about that.

[C]

Who. Who isn't about Dick Mountain?

[F]

To Mike's point on Flacco, he, in that season that he just had with the Browns, had his only season ever where he's thrown for more than 300 yards per game. He won comeback player of the year. And what's crazy about it now, because of the length of his. It was eight. I believe it was eight games. Let me look at that. It was only five games. It was only five games. It was eight games last year with Indianapolis, but 323 yards per game in those games with this same franchise. And what's crazy about it now, in Terms of the span of his career, they open hosting Cincinnati here in 2025. He started his career in 2008 with the Ravens hosting Cincinnati to start the season.

[A]

I think he has like a 50 yard run in that game. Look it up like Joe Flacco sunset. Like a 50 yard run. His first ever start.

[C]

I love the symmetry. I started my first game against the the Cincinnati Bengals. Now here I am at the end of my career.

[A]

There's a lot of consistency around Cleveland for. I mean, that's usually counterintuitive when you speak about the Cleveland Browns. There's always change.

[C]

There is consistency.

[A]

Yeah, they're consistently bad and it's a revolving door. But Stefanski's offense is still insult. And you, you've seen it done before by Joe Flacco. So I understand, especially from the fan base, this guy is long in the tooth. Let's get him out of here. Let's see what we got with the draft picks. But Joe Flacco didn't cooperate with that narrative the last time out.

[D]

Well, here's another possibility. Because of that tough opening schedule that you recited, they don't want to put Shador in a situation where he starts 0 and 5. Right. He could start 05 and all of a sudden the fans who want to be on his side are like, wow, this guy, he's struggling. We want Flacco. You know what I mean? So they're, they're flipping that presumed narrative.

[C]

So the Dolphins, is that the first easy game or is that the last hard game? Because the next games are Patriots, jets and. Yeah, Patriots.

[E]

And people are just as high on the Patriots as Dolphins. If you're calling the Dolphins a tough game, you got to put the Patriots in there too. I think they're pretty equal in terms of expectations.

[D]

They're pretty equal.

[C]

So the Jets. That's the first.

[E]

The Jets, I would think people would say is.

[C]

And by the way, right after the jets, they got to play the Ravens. That's a man. This is a crazy. Whether they play bad teams. What? Raiders. Oh, there it is. Okay.

[A]

Colin Cowherd gave voice to the long standing theory. Jimmy Sexton, he's Nick Saban's agent. Nick Saban, Manning's very close arch Manning, number one draft pick. Nick Saban, coach.

[C]

Where?

[A]

Cleveland.

[C]

No.

[A]

Jimmy Haslam leans on the Sextons. Leans on Peyton Manning.

[C]

No.

[A]

Tennessee Volunteer booster. He did. He laid it all out.

[C]

That's a lot. He laid it all out as the host of a podcast with the word Illuminati in it. Keep your Third eye open.

[A]

I mean, Haslam is super close to the Mannings.

[C]

I get it, man, but that's a. That's a lot of connecting the dots, man.

[A]

I mean, he said it like. This is a known thing I'm going.

[C]

To tell you right now.

[A]

League circles.

[D]

League circles.

[C]

Well, I love league circles.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Do you love league circles? I don't know.

[B]

I could do without league circles.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. Whatever. Well, what's league circle ever done for me?

[A]

That's because you're on the outside of the circle.

[C]

Exactly. You inside the circle. You'd love the league circle.

[D]

League circle.

[A]

Amin's in a league circle.

[C]

I'm in the league circle. I'm in the league circle. I know things.

[G]

How many championship rings does Amin have compared to Zaz?

[C]

Well, how many gold medals does Zaz have compared to Amin?

[G]

He didn't even leave the country.

[E]

Get out of here.

[A]

The same amount.

[C]

No gold medal winning. Right.

[A]

Zaz used to be in a league circle.

[C]

Now he's out.

[A]

Now he's outside the league circle, got kicked out. But he can be in the battle court.

[B]

Nobody got kicked out.

[E]

Are there league triangles, squares? Just circles.

[C]

Just circles.

[D]

Circles. They say you get kicked out.

[C]

Yeah, that's what they're saying.

[G]

I don't like that.

[B]

I don't like either, Billy.

[G]

I don't know what they're doing here.

[D]

I don't like it either.

[F]

Mike was right. 38 yard rushing touchdown. The first touchdown of any kind of Joe Flacco's career. I just watched it. It was a play action. QB boot. He runs down the sideline, even like jukes back in to use a wide receiver as a block. Back out to the end. It's like slow motion. It's unbelievable.

[A]

Flacco. I remember where I was once. You see that? You never forget.

[E]

I got to take this thing for a walk.

[C]

The Browns also play the Bills and the Niners out of, you know, in their schedule. This is someone at the NFL doesn't like. Cleveland.

[A]
