Chris Cody Zaslow doesn't know what's real and what's bit around here, so I will just tell you that Greg Cody is not a show removed from sticking out his chest, preening and saying, I'm a very punctual person and I'm looking at a seat next to me that's empty. Your father's not yet here. He said he was going to be here. He is clearly late and he's already steaming because he was as insulted as he's ever been by me being an asshole to you two days ago.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, he was. And he's often late and I've criticized him. I don't think he leaves early enough and everyone gets mad at me when I say it.

[Stugotz]

So I don't know.

[Greg Cody]

You notice I've adjusted, right? Because I was late and now as.

[Chris Cody]

Low will never be late again.

[Greg Cody]

I don't stop for coffee anymore. I make my own now.

[Chris Cody]

Well, Joy Taylor does accuse you though of one time walking in late with coffee. Which was which I think you should have learned the lesson there.

[Mike Ryan]

Took 10 years, but he finally figured it out longer. Make the make the coffee here, Mike.

[Chris Cody]

Tony Amain. Does anyone in our company have an explanation? I asked this genuinely curious because I do not. Do not know. Stugotz was on the schedule three or four days this week and has not appeared. And Zaslo is rushed into the breach every time. Do you guys know what's going on with Stugas?

[Greg Cody]

Check my bank accounts. Looking good.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You see what's going on in Newark? Sean Duffy, man in over his head.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's Wicked.

[Stugotz]

Wild. It's wicked.

[Mike Ryan]

Chowder.

[Chris Cody]

Zaslow came in here today, and he is. He's betrayed Amin.

[Greg Cody]

Really? We're doing this already?

[Chris Cody]

Look, you're gonna fit right in around here. You're gonna fit right in because work.

[Greg Cody]

Our way to this.

[Chris Cody]

No, you're not gonna deny that you've betrayed Amin already. That you're not only did you. Not only are you sitting in Stugatz's seat and counting, literally counting what used to be his money, you're sitting in the seat and you're coming in, and you wanna bet? You wanna bet?

[Greg Cody]

Look, the way Amin is staring at me, too.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, you're gonna.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can't see it because we're not on air.

[Greg Cody]

Ruin me.

[Chris Cody]

Amin, you're gonna by. By the level of this betrayal as a fellow hustler like Zaz who realizes that there are money trees all around us.

[Mike Ryan]

Point them out to me, please.

[Chris Cody]

Zaslo. I'm going to point one out to you because Zaslow has betrayed you on it. You pretend like point him out to me, but you gave him what. You have so many money trees around you that you just gave one to Zaslo, and he betrayed you with it.

[Greg Cody]

It wasn't on purpose, though.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, you're admitting it now?

[Greg Cody]

Well, I mean, I don't know if I want to call it a betrayal. Like, I did something that is for me and that is helping me. It really shouldn't have anything to do with Amin. He may look at it as a betrayal. I. It is something that it is. Helped me.

[Chris Cody]

It is a betrayal, though. It is.

[Mike Ryan]

This is about cameo, isn't it? Oh, my God. I took you under my wing.

[Greg Cody]

What do you mean, he took me?

[Mike Ryan]

I'm the one to show you.

[Greg Cody]

You were lost.

[Mike Ryan]

You didn't know how to go. How does the camera work?

[Chris Cody]

Portrait mode?

[Mike Ryan]

Landscape, like. No, listen to me. This is how you do it. And I said sign up under my referral code at Darth Amin.

[Greg Cody]

Right?

[Mike Ryan]

You guys can request right now, by the way, if you're listening and I was going to show you the way.

[Chris Cody]

Tony, you can.

[Stugotz]

You can also request me a 10 Daytona.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tony say, what about Micah? Did you use Micah?

[Amin Elhassan]

Is that what.

[Greg Cody]

I don't. Just. What am I supposed to guess what.

[Mike Ryan]

Everyone'S card is supposed to text me. Hey, I mean, about to do this.

[Chris Cody]

Everyone stop. Everyone back off, Tony.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, back off.

[Chris Cody]

Tony's face on that. Because this is funny. This is legitimate fun. Funny. Amin saying, where are all the trees? Tony's one of the best hustlers we Have Tony knows how to hustle. Miami hustle. Not Fugazi Amin hustle.

[Mike Ryan]

Whoa, wait a second. Hold on.

[Chris Cody]

I'm not finished.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm not finished with you yet.

[Chris Cody]

I'm not done betraying you yet.

[Stugotz]

Let him talk to you like that.

[Chris Cody]

Tony, you just made a face at how slow Amin got in there with his panhandling on cameo and then right behind him, like me driving behind an ambulance when there's traffic in Miami. Right behind him. You threw your in there, Dano.

[Stugotz]

Ten day, Tony. It's not Blake's fault.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast. I gotta be honest with you, as much fun as it is to watch basketballs biggest names leave the stage so we can have new ones. I'm genuinely stunned by how I'm watching these playoffs because we talked about Golden State and the Lakers all season. And the way that I watched Golden State last night and the way that I've watched these playoffs have made me for the first time in my life that doesn't involve Nick Saban, someone who vigorously hates that I am rooting for Jimmy Butler to go down in flames. Like, I can't even believe how my objectivity has flown out the window on this. It was just. I was really happy last night. Really happy that Jimmy finally found his joy again.

[Stugotz]

We're doing this, huh?

[Greg Cody]

That's the show we're doing.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Because last night was awesome.

[Greg Cody]

It's a good morning.

[Stugotz]

Last night was wicked awesome.

[Greg Cody]

Stop happening.

[Chris Cody]

He's ass.

[Mike Ryan]

Harvard.

[Chris Cody]

The text I got last night immediately after the game is a text I think you guys would want to see. Because in the first round we said, hey guys, Jimmy won the Miami thing. And the second round we're saying, oh look, Miami wins it forever. Because the window is closed on the era of Jimmy that closes. Right? I can't believe he was in the era. The idea. Let me explain to you what Miami did for Jimmy the last five years that it did and helped LeBron with it was a lot better player, obviously in 2010, what. What it is that Miami did for Jimmy and Jimmy, it would go to Jimmy's head. Of course it would. In five years, Jimmy Butler went from a player none of us thought could be much better than a one on an eight seed, a one on a seven seed, a one on a six seed, because that's what we thought he was. Then he goes to Philadelphia, goes to Minnesota, builds his legend, but builds it in a way none of us have ever seen in the playoffs ever. 0, 40 point games, regular season, 840 point games, postseason. There's a playoff Jimmy. Well, yes, there was. We all saw it. It was amazing. It was the prime of his career, and he's gone. And now it's pump fake Jimmy. And pump fake Jimmy is different than playoff Jimmy. Pump fake Jimmy is 10 years of what basketball does to the body. And 35 year olds generally age. And they're not all LeBron. Lebr changed the science.

[Greg Cody]

11 field goal attempts. A joke.

[Stugotz]

What time you get this text? What time?

[Chris Cody]

It was after that game.

[Stugotz]

It was after that game. Well, we can rule out Pat the Rat, because that guy ain't up there.

[Greg Cody]

Hey, this isn't the time to do that.

[Stugotz]

Oh, no, this guy's already going with the propaganda. What did the Heat do for Jimmy? Come on, man. Jimmy carried their ass.

[Mike Ryan]

Cape Cod.

[Chris Cody]

Jimmy did carry their ass four or five years.

[Stugotz]

They did nothing for Jimmy. They surrounded him by Max Schruse. Come on, let's get real.

[Chris Cody]

Well, hold on a second. That's the text I got. I'm not Max Stru. I will tell you what that text is at some point. I will never tell you who it was from. I'm guessing you can all guess who it was from.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, another stand situation.

[Mike Ryan]

Lobster Roll.

[Chris Cody]

What's a stand situation?

[Dan Le Batard]

Like, remember the bam text last year that you denied it was stand.

[Stugotz]

It was obviously stammering, Gundy.

[Chris Cody]

It was. It wasn't. Stan. Like, you guys put me in such a bad spot there. I. Such a bad.

[Stugotz]

Well, you got two coaches that are friends. One pushed the other one out. It's gotta be awkward for you.

[Greg Cody]

I hate your accent so much.

[Stugotz]

I don't know what you're talking about, Ted Williams.

[Chris Cody]

All right, we'll get to Jimmy because that hate is also. Is also fun.

[Stugotz]

I don't think you've talked about Jimmy enough over the last few months, so I'm going to.

[Chris Cody]

I. Okay, good call. Boston guy Jimmy Garoppolo. Here is what I am here. I'm here to say this to America. And I want the sound. You guys have the video of these guys yesterday doing what it is that they did to the Boston Celtics before that game last night at the suggestion. The suggestion that the Celtics could come back against the New York Knicks. Down three one without Jayson Tatum. And I want to. I went to bed last night after this tumult of hate and celebration of hate. I went to bed last night knowing that our show runs the risk epically because of what it is it did yesterday, laughing in the face of a champion A worthy champion. A champion you should respect that you don't respect enough because they've got the faster car and it made it. It was made to look easy. That champion has beat the holy hell out of the league for two years. And I will tell you that the difference. I mean, I wonder if you think this is true, what I'm about to say, the difference between the Celtics and the rest of the Eastern Conference, except for the Cavs this year, even if I remove Jayson Tatum from it, I'm just merely now making the Celtics about as good as the Knicks. Because Derrick White and Jalen Brown and Porzingis dogs. And if. And if Drew Holiday's your fourth, you've got a team that could beat an inconsistent Knicks team that can absolutely have the wheels fall apart in a way that crushes the best feeling in New York in 25 years.

[Mike Ryan]

Then they were down 3:1 with Jason Tatum. Like, let's. They're down. So you can't say even without Jason Tatum. They were down 3:1 with Jayson Tatum.

[Chris Cody]

They won a game.

[Mike Ryan]

This is like the Thunder.

[Greg Cody]

They won a home game.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, this is like the Thunder losing game one. You're like, ah, like, yeah, they won a game.

[Stugotz]

Don't discount the heart of a champion. And also you forgot a name. You didn't mention. Luke Cornette. The White Howard Bubla.

[Chris Cody]

Derrick White.

[Stugotz]

Dan.

[Chris Cody]

No, we know this top 100.

[Stugotz]

We didn't know this top 100 player. We didn't know this. No, no, no.

[Chris Cody]

I told you he's your best player.

[Greg Cody]

We try to tell you.

[Chris Cody]

We try to tell you. Yesterday.

[Stugotz]

We got that Kobe cosplay out of the way. Now as you were.

[Chris Cody]

Boston without Jayson Tatum can beat everyone remaining except okc specifically because they're missing Jayson Tatum.

[Greg Cody]

No way.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Yeah, way.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, let me. Let me make sure I heard that probably this version of Boston, this team right now would beat Minnesota, I'm saying.

[Chris Cody]

Can beat Minnesota because they'll shoot from threes. Guys, just so you know, I'm sure the Celtics are like a two point dog in this game. Going to the. You clear. You. You have clearly not been watching Knicks basketball this season. I know you trust Brunson. If you don't think that that Knicks team can be undone by 25 years of being that Knicks team and the fact that they haven't closed out someone for those fans since 1999. That team is up and down and it is ready to turn on Bridges if Bridges decides to go 1 for 11 on a night at the God at their garden. Where.

[Amin Elhassan]

Where they.

[Chris Cody]

You. You guys are crazy if you don't think that the Knicks can blow this.

[Greg Cody]

Knicks are a 2 1/2 point favorite tomorrow night.

[Chris Cody]

You're nuts if I tell you somebody's going to win in a game, you're crazy if you don't think that the Celtics can beat the Knicks two more times.

[Stugotz]

There's a pushback that you get. And we flip. Last night, watching the heart of a champion over there with Derrick White finally getting more volume because we got Jason Tatum out of the way. This is exactly how efficient Derrick White. This is exactly how he turned organically. Now we realize with Tatum out of the way, the narrative can push forward that he's not a good basketball player. And now we want New York to be embarrassed.

[Mike Ryan]

Hate your voice, Banger Yui.

[Greg Cody]

Your voice, your accent. I hate it so much. This is not what I thought I was walking into this morning.

[Stugotz]

We're no longer Knicks guys over here. We want the Knicks to be embarrassed because it's funny.

[Chris Cody]

Grind them.

[Greg Cody]

W, D, E, I.

[Chris Cody]

That image is. That imaging is shitty. I know, but look, they know how to do radio in Boston, okay? And they do. They've been making fun of how we do radio. Look, but look, that. I mean, that's a bunch of Cubans. That's the production that we've got on our WDEI imaging.

[Stugotz]

Wdei sung by American.

[Chris Cody]

That sounds like a sound from Adam West's Batman. I was in the 60s.

[Greg Cody]

Imaging.

[Chris Cody]

Is that. How are we trying to keep up with the kids?

[Stugotz]

Should have got better voices, too.

[Chris Cody]

You people are insane if you do not believe. Listen to what I'm saying.

[Stugotz]

We all believe. We all believe that. We don't believe.

[Chris Cody]

Amin doesn't believe.

[Mike Ryan]

No, Amin believes Dan. I'm rooting for it. I'm rooting for that to happen because then that's the maximum amount of chaos that brings me joy in life. I have an entire family and a group chat full of people who have lived on cloud nine for the last four or five days. Right? This is the best time of their lives. Literally. I'm talking about birth of children, marriage, all that stuff.

[Chris Cody]

Nope.

[Mike Ryan]

This is it.

[Greg Cody]

So pathetic having three wins in round two. It's the best time of their life.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, precisely. With one pop of an Achilles. We got a dream scenario over here. This is really lining up perfectly because you set up the Knicks with all this hope. They're already buying the tickets on game time for the NBA Finals because they think that Jayson Tatum being out is a bad Thing. But we here on the show have always known he's a massively overrated player. And we've always known that Derrick White is the key to their success. This is perfect.

[Mike Ryan]

Don't forget about Luke Cornett.

[Stugotz]

Dwight Howard.

[Chris Cody]

Greg Cody has arrived. He is fashionably late. He's getting makeup in the other room. As I mentioned, he's enraged. Chris, do you want to take the audience? It was lovely, actually, to see the audience gather together, rally, and show a great deal of love in calling me an asshole for the way that I treated you on Tuesday with your father. And now your father comes in enraged. And I've often said your father enraged is the best Cody there is. That's the one we want to play with.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's got, like, this smirk to him that I think he's actually really mad. You know, like he's. When he's actually. When he's playing along, he'll. I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

Jazz. Never knows.

[Greg Cody]

Look at him.

[Chris Cody]

All right, I don't know, Jazz. What's the prediction there? Look, Mike, Mike, wouldn't you say as a. As a producer for the talent that is Greg Cody, over 20 years, that not unlike my father, there have been any number of challenging situations because the talent wishes to be treated like talent.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, there's a. There's a point of no return when it comes to Greg Cody that you lose him for the day. And I think we're already over there, and his head already seems to be spinning. I cannot wait for him to find out that we're a Celtics show now.

[Greg Cody]

Wti.

[Chris Cody]

All right, let's just see how he reacts to that. It's very strange that we would go Batman imaging from the 60s to try and keep up with AI and modern technology. I don't know whose decision that was. I don't think that's how we say we. We fight him in the streaming age.

[Greg Cody]

W T e I.

[Stugotz]

Wait. How about that Brad Marshon?

[Chris Cody]

Tony.

[Stugotz]

How about that Brad Marsh and last night chirping. You want to chirp our players? Brad Marshawn. Yo, you're skating to the bench. Not so fast. Not so fast. You don't chirp before the panther wt.

[Chris Cody]

Tony, please don't stop doing that.

[Stugotz]

How did we all get to the same conclusion?

[Chris Cody]

You mean amin Tony in a triangular fashion. Tony. Adam, every time. This is what I need from you all show, okay? Every time he plays that, I want you to give me a signature kick or some sort of beefcake mixed martial arts so that we can compete with mma. Boston sports Radio on how to out talk them on mixed martial arts because we've got more modern imaging than that pisser. We have feuded with Wei, which has been flatly racist for 20 years. Just as an organization for 20 years. And they know they have a champion. And what I would say to you guys, and I don't actually mean this as insult in any way to the league or the Celtics. It's actually a celebration of how much a champion the Celtics have been, even though people doubt it. Like the. It never gets made as easy as the Celtics made it look last year. Unless you're great. And I think we kind of doubt that they're great, at least in part because we're saying, well, you've just got the faster car. You're the one that got to 53s faster. And.

[Stugotz]

And all the other engines blew out on the track. Look, I'm the biggest Celtics fan you'd find. And even I'd be the first to admit we got wicked lucky over the last few years.

[Mike Ryan]

Packy, remember?

[Stugotz]

Max, truce. Let me tell you something. His foot was in bounds. We got lucky, okay?

[Chris Cody]

You can. You can get lucky.

[Stugotz]

No, I could say that as a Boston.

[Chris Cody]

You would never say that.

[Stugotz]

I can say that as a boss.

[Chris Cody]

You'd not be the first to admit.

[Stugotz]

We're known for our self awareness.

[Chris Cody]

They would not be any admitting of anything from you. If the first to admit anything like that. No Boston fan. Like, what are you doing? Are you going to be in character as the Boston fan or not?

[Stugotz]

That Brad Marchand carried. Yes.

[Chris Cody]

No, but are you going to do the character or not? Because Lucky. Lucky is not something any Boston fan. They rolled over everybody in five games last year. It's not easy to win a championship.

[Stugotz]

I think it's perfectly fair to put an asterisk next to that banner.

[Mike Ryan]

Ripa.

[Chris Cody]

That's ridiculous.

[Stugotz]

We'd be the first to admit it.

[Chris Cody]

You wouldn't be.

[Stugotz]

We would be. We would be.

[Chris Cody]

We. We.

[Stugotz]

We.

[Chris Cody]

We. We. We. D I. Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Winchester.

[Mike Ryan]

Southie.

[Chris Cody]

I want to get to the Panthers in a second. We will wait, of course, for the talent to get into position. He's going to, you know, make a jostle, get his head set in. He does remember saying his very last episode how punctual he was making fun of. As for being late the previous time.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yes, that may or may not be true. I'd have to look up the record on that.

[Chris Cody]

What is your level of anger right now? How much have you forgiven me or not forgiven me for last Tuesday? It was lovely to see the audience rally in your defense to chant asshole at me. It was a lovely show of the best love that, you know, repressed toddler males can show each other.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, you took a big hit on social media and rightly so. I responded to your unpacking as he does. I responded to your apologetic text.

[Greg Cody]

What would happen if you didn't get your computer? Like if you just address the situation, what would happen?

[Chris Cody]

It's wild how unprofessional you're being like by way of entrance right now because.

[Greg Cody]

You need the computer to address because.

[Chris Cody]

You'Re being noisy and this is an audio product.

[Stugotz]

You're attacking my man right off the bat.

[Amin Elhassan]

I was gonna say. Dan, I. I really want to thank you because, you know, your good nature, your calm demeanor, you have such a way of bringing down the temperature in any room you're in and making the workplace such an inviting environment. Thank you for being you.

[Greg Cody]

You got everything you need out there?

[Amin Elhassan]

Not yet. Go ahead. What do you got? What did I miss? What kind of magic did you guys do in the 10 minutes before I got here? Replay it.

[Stugotz]

Play it for him. Play it for him. Chris.

[Greg Cody]

W T E I. I like it.

[Amin Elhassan]

I thought DEI was banned in this country. I'm glad to hear that.

[Stugotz]

That's in certain parts.

[Amin Elhassan]

Certain? What are you, wdei? Everybody thinks they can do a Boston accent, by the way. It's like an English accent. Hello.

[Stugotz]

Hey listeners, it's Mike Ryan. And if you've listened to this show for 20 years, you know one action movie franchise that I believe stands head and shoulders above the rest. That's right, the Mission Impossible series is one of the few franchises that gets better and better, consistently raising the bar with set pieces, story, location and character. This is a franchise that I've argued in the past should have won the best picture award. Tom Cruise consistently is upping himself and raising that bar with each Mission Impossible film as the real practical stunts continue to push the envelope in new record setting ways. Tom's passion for entertaining audience has him, along with a dedicated cast and crew, pulling out all the stops to deliver the most thrilling, unbelievable feats yet. I simply cannot wait for this film. Impossible the Final reckoning in theaters May 23rd.

[Dan Le Batard]

[Amin Elhassan]

Don Le Batard I miss crank windows. Too many unnecessary conveniences now. Cruise control, please. I've got cruise control built in. It's called My Right Foot. It controls how fast the car goes. No button or steering wheel lever needed. Power steering? There's another one. Why do I give my power to the car? The power that I once had? The car is a ton of metal. I'm a damn college graduate Stugach. Bluetooth HD radio, satellite. I'll take am, please. With Wolfman Jack talking through the static. And I'll crank the windows down so everybody can hear. I'm Cody, and that's how it was back in my day.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Amin Elhassan]

You know, everybody thinks they can do a Boston accent.

[Chris Cody]

Keep cooking.

[Amin Elhassan]

I grew up with a Boston accent, okay? My mother into her 90s, was saying, park the car, you know, So I. I know a Boston accent. You know, my aunt. I grew up with my aunt singing Robert Goulet songs in. In French. You know, I'm. I'm the real deal. I'm a little hyped right now. I've been in traffic for an hour and a half, nonstop. Why are we playing happy music?

[Chris Cody]

He doesn't even recognize the music. And so I'm just. Guys, this is what I'm telling you, all right? Just so that I'm going to let people look behind the curtain for a second. Zaslow's been offended by the way Cody's done this show for about 20 years. Offended right now Cody thinks he's a star, and he is, but he really does think he can come in 10 minutes in and be like, I'll get all caught up right here. You guys aren't that good at this. Play the dug. So why is he doing a Boston accent?

[Amin Elhassan]

Because he's pretending to be a Celtics fan. Because he's the ultimate front runner, the ultimate bandwagon guy, you know? And I'm the one, by the way, I'm the one Tuesday who predicted that the Celtics winning three in a row without Tatum would be the best story in all of the sports. It's happening.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, Greg, he did say that you're wicked smart.

[Amin Elhassan]

Damn right.

[Stugotz]

I would say that while you're close, you get getting warmer, but that ain't exactly what's at play here. This is a haters dream scenario. Now that Tatum is out of the way for a Miami Heat fan, which I'm purported to be, but not actually, because I'm a C's guy now.

[Greg Cody]

W, D, E, I.

[Amin Elhassan]

All right, what are you looking at, Zazzle?

[Greg Cody]

I'm looking at you. I'm trying to be a professional. I look at people when they're talking.

[Amin Elhassan]

By the way, I. I did the math. You know how you're infamous for saying you're a three time NBA champion?

[Greg Cody]

No, no, two time.

[Amin Elhassan]

Two time. I'm sorry.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, okay, well, because one of them was rigged.

[Amin Elhassan]

Okay, you know what? I did the math. I am a 24 time NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and CFB champion columnist 24 times.

[Greg Cody]

What makes you a champion?

[Amin Elhassan]

Because I've covered all of those championships.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I mean, that's weird. I mean, I do. Did you get championship rings from those teams you covered?

[Amin Elhassan]

Actually, I got a couple of fake rings along.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, I didn't ask him any fake rings you have. Did you get team issued championship rings?

[Amin Elhassan]

No, and if I did, I would be embarrassed.

[Greg Cody]

Now ask me that question.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't care. And do you have one on?

[Greg Cody]

Well, no, I don't wear it everywhere. I mean, look like a schmuck.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yes, you would. Do you wear it anywhere?

[Greg Cody]

If I go to a nice event, like I was at a Zaslow wedding a couple of weeks ago, I wore my championship ring. Now I don't wear both at the same time because then I look like an a hole.

[Amin Elhassan]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

But yes, I pick out which one I'm feeling that night. Do I wear 2012? Do I wear 2013? I like the 2013 design a little bit better. It's usually my go to. But yes, if I'm at a nice event, I wear a big fat championship ring.

[Amin Elhassan]

And do people ever mistake you for the 12th guy on the. On the bench on that original 1986 team?

[Greg Cody]

Well, 86 is 2012 and 2013. I mean, you should know. You say you cover the teams.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yes, but those were two of my 24 championships. The three, actually, I covered all three.

[Greg Cody]

They don't have to ask who I am when people see it because my name is. Is on the side of the ring.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, and you did a lot to earn that, so congrats.

[Greg Cody]

That's. That's debatable. But the team gave me. The team gave me rings.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, because they felt obligated to. Nowadays, everybody gets a championship ring. Fans get them. Okay, I have a Marlins championship ring.

[Greg Cody]

That's. It's a fake one. You just said it's a replica.

[Stugotz]

Right?

[Greg Cody]

I have a real one. It's real diamonds.

[Amin Elhassan]

Okay?

[Greg Cody]

If I wanted to sell it, I'd be living lap of luxury. These are real diamonds.

[Amin Elhassan]

And so let me get this straight.

[Greg Cody]

Maybe blood diamond. I don't know exactly what Tony says.

[Chris Cody]

You can't live lap of luxury here. That's ring. Is it $5,000 because he gets a smaller ring than the others? I don't think he gets the same ring.

[Greg Cody]

They're different levels.

[Amin Elhassan]

I was about to say, you think your ring, you didn't know that is the same as Dwyane Wade's ring.

[Greg Cody]

No, I don't think that. No, no, no, no.

[Stugotz]

Okay, now with possum rings, okay, when.

[Amin Elhassan]

You wear that ring, does it leave your finger green after you take it off? I'm just curious.

[Greg Cody]

You think I'm wearing a fugazi ring?

[Chris Cody]

No, it's not fugazi. It's not.

[Greg Cody]

You think I'm wearing a fugazi ring?

[Chris Cody]

You did.

[Amin Elhassan]

I didn't say that.

[Greg Cody]

I don't like that.

[Amin Elhassan]

I. I don't.

[Dan Le Batard]

Couldn't have said it more clearly.

[Mike Ryan]

Asking questions.

[Greg Cody]

If a green ring is left on your finger after you wear a diamond ring, that means it's fugazi. Are you saying that.

[Stugotz]

Oh, it means you bleed green.

[Greg Cody]

Are you accusing the Heat.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, you bleed green like Mike Ryan.

[Greg Cody]

Are you accusing the Miami Heat, huh? Of giving fugazi rings?

[Amin Elhassan]

I am accusing the Miami Heat of giving a. A much cheaper ring to someone in your situation.

[Chris Cody]

That's true, though, no offense. He's got us there.

[Greg Cody]

I will rule on that as a judge.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm not saying. I'm not saying your ring is made.

[Greg Cody]

Out of tin roll.

[Stugotz]

No, please, please rule on whether or not a franchise that is constantly avoiding the luxury tax is cutting Kiwanis.

[Greg Cody]

Listen, this is my court, and we are not ruling on two different things at once. I will rule on whether the ring is cheaper than I have, as opposed to Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh.

[Amin Elhassan]

Or the assistant trainer ruling it.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I don't know all this.

[Chris Cody]

I'm happy to cede the power to you here. Judge, judge, judge. With President Zaslow. Can you guys just look up for me, though, to see what's factual here? Because I believe, Judge, that he's being insulting. Because I believe it is a very good ring, and I believe it is a very valuable ring, but it is also probably a ring that would be lower than the one that Juwan Howard got by a lot. Probably.

[Greg Cody]

Sustained.

[Chris Cody]

No, got that.

[Mike Ryan]

Probably.

[Chris Cody]

No, no. But then. No, but I'm going to go. There are many layers. There aren't just two layers on this. There are employees. And I believe the Heat would regard him as an employee, as someone who was getting up day and night to be one of the prominent voices for their team. Like, did your. Did your money come from the Heat or did it come from radio?

[Greg Cody]

Came from the radio.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, so. So he separated like a journalist would.

[Greg Cody]

That's right.

[Chris Cody]

Separated.

[Greg Cody]

Never took a dollar from the team, Cody. Journalist.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah. And how much of an.

[Greg Cody]

Never a dollar.

[Amin Elhassan]

How much of an obligation was there for you to be pro? He. At Every turn.

[Greg Cody]

I was never told what to say. Never ever. I was never told what to say.

[Stugotz]

Because it was already implied.

[Amin Elhassan]

It was certainly implied.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, hold on a second. This is my courtroom here. All right?

[Amin Elhassan]

Is it?

[Greg Cody]

I'm going to rule. Hey, bailiff, keep an eye on him.

[Amin Elhassan]

And by the way, Heat dancers get championship rings.

[Stugotz]

So which is greater than earn them as they deserve?

[Chris Cody]

Well, but which one? But give me the tears, please, because I think. Not the. Not the next tiers. Give me these tears.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, there's definitely a couple of tiers. I mean, the top one, is it the hull or is it five tiers? I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

It makes a difference, though. This. The reason I keep asking the question is we're trying to get an empirical measurement for whether or not you're a journalist based on your ring and how big it is and whether you should be proud of your ring. I'm saying it's a valuable ring. I don't know if it's the least valuable. I'm still saying it's valuable. Like, I'm guessing it's at least a $5,000 ring.

[Greg Cody]

Lap of luxury.

[Amin Elhassan]

Greg, you think?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I do.

[Stugotz]

Have you seen that? Have you seen the rings?

[Amin Elhassan]

I have not seen them.

[Stugotz]

I've seen them. They're pretty heavy duty.

[Amin Elhassan]

Okay.

[Stugotz]

Those are expensive ass rings.

[Greg Cody]

That's right.

[Chris Cody]

What do you imagine it's worth, and what do you imagine you could get for it if you decided to sell your soul? You would never sell it. It's priceless.

[Greg Cody]

If my house were on fire, it's the thing I grab when I'm running out of the house, right? Everyone knows the thing they would grab in their house, right? If your house on fire, you got to grab. We're assuming, you know, the women, the children, we're assuming they have legs.

[Chris Cody]

They have legs.

[Greg Cody]

We're assuming they're getting out.

[Chris Cody]

All right, you guys. That's so lame. Yet. Yes. Your kids, guys. You would grab your kids. Congratulations.

[Stugotz]

My kids.

[Chris Cody]

Virtue signalers. Yeah, great. Grab your kids before you grab. Samson would grab some paperwork. You guys would grab your kids. Got it. Brave. Brave and noble warriors, you guys, in a fire.

[Mike Ryan]

And Zaz would grab his pink rings.

[Chris Cody]

See, and they'd be hot, and he'd have to put them down and then grab the kids.

[Stugotz]

Just like in Indiana Jones where he tries to grab that little compass thing and then it burns into his hand. So all of a sudden, Zazzle's got it burned in his hand. Heat championship 2023.

[Mike Ryan]

But then the problem is they had the wrong Size stick. Because the flip side of it, one kadam off of the heat you got for which it was raised for.

[Greg Cody]

Okay? Bottom line is if my house were on fire, I would grab the rings. They're very, very important to me because not everyone can claim Greg. Matter of fact, I've never heard anybody else claim being a champion broadcaster. And not just that I'm a two time champion broadcast.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah. I'm a 24 time champion columnist and I proudly don't wear any ring. I think if you wear a team.

[Chris Cody]

You wear your panky ring.

[Amin Elhassan]

If you wear a team's championship ring, it disqualifies you from claiming you're a journalist.

[Greg Cody]

Well, then you're not a journalist either. You're calling yourself a champion.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm calling myself a champion columnist because I've covered 24 championships, major championships. I'm not even including the two UN baseball teams.

[Chris Cody]

These are Zaslo's rings. You think those are cheap?

[Greg Cody]

That's me.

[Amin Elhassan]

I went to.

[Greg Cody]

Those are my rings.

[Amin Elhassan]

Omaha.

[Chris Cody]

You think those are cheap?

[Greg Cody]

Rings are my fists.

[Amin Elhassan]

I mean, I can't tell from here, I mean that, that, that zirconia looks pretty good.

[Greg Cody]

How dare you?

[Amin Elhassan]

You know, I can't tell from here. I'm not in the company of the.

[Stugotz]

Ring, but that precious Jewel Banta.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, that does look pretty. A pretty good facsimile.

[Chris Cody]

All right, I will get in a second. I've been remiss, okay. Because I will say we're 50 minutes into the show and what I saw last night in Toronto, I'm just honored to see excellence on display that can reach into a country and a franchise's soul. And I can hear and feel the fear in a really unique way. Coming from a country so good when they were down one nothing because they knew what came this way. They've watched enough hockey to know. And I heard this. You're not going to believe how it is. I've got to get to these things and don't let me wander too far away from them. Okay? Zaz has betrayed Amin. I mean, okay, we're going to get back to it. I just don't want to wander too far away. I got a text all of you are going to want to hear, but I do want to celebrate.

[Amin Elhassan]

Go ahead. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for how you finish that sentence. What do you want to celebrate? I'm right there with you. Go ahead.

[Mike Ryan]

I love Greg on the attack. Greg, that's it. We need you on the offensive more often.

[Stugotz]

That's a Four. Check.

[Mike Ryan]

You're too defensive. You know, you come here, you're humble, you let Dan make fun of you, and you gotta say, oh, no, don't. Don't talk about my son that way. Don't talk about me that way. You need to be like this more often on the offensive.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, look out for number one. I love this Boston Me party over there.

[Amin Elhassan]

You know, I gotta stand up for myself, because when I'm in here Tuesday. You know, I was in here Tuesday with Zaslow and Mike talking nonstop. I couldn't get a word in, so now I have a shoehorn.

[Stugotz]

Don't run out of allies, all right? Realize what's going on over here. I'm backing you up. I can turn on a dime, as you can tell from the last two days.

[Amin Elhassan]

I know you can.

[Chris Cody]

All right.

[Stugotz]

An authentic, cool little timer.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, wicked good, that wdei.

[Mike Ryan]

Nor Tony.

[Chris Cody]

You need to get better at it.

[Stugotz]

That was a flying knee. The camera didn't get it.

[Chris Cody]

Guys.

[Stugotz]

I mean, come on, guys. You never know when you're going to hit the sound. Dan, you got to be looser.

[Chris Cody]

I know, I know. I got to be looser.

[Stugotz]

He's going to do it every time. He's going to be what you need.

[Chris Cody]

What I'm saying is that if Tony Sharp this particular skill I get.

[Stugotz]

No, enough with the sharpening skills. He's doing the chop. All right. Every time that plays. Play it again. Play it again.

[Greg Cody]

B U T E. I.

[Stugotz]

See you got Tony doing his thing, but you never know when the old timer's gonna, like, spill some tea all over his computer. It's a tough show to direct.

[Chris Cody]

I understood. I would just say to you, I love that.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's good producing, by the way.

[Stugotz]

You missed it, by the way. I gave it an old timey poke in the eyes.

[Chris Cody]

Illegal.

[Stugotz]

Roddy. Roddy Piper, right there.

[Chris Cody]

The eye gouge. The eye gouge is.

[Stugotz]

I was ready for it.

[Chris Cody]

It's one of. Put it on the poll at Lebiton Show.

[Greg Cody]

Well scouted.

[Chris Cody]

Is the eye gouge the greatest of the fighting tools?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but I put that hand up, you got no moves. You got no moves.

[Mike Ryan]

Coffee.

[Stugotz]

It's like what happens when Tatum goes out. You just get more Derek White. That's how bad.

[Chris Cody]

No, but. No, no, wait a minute. So when you say, you've got no move, you say, heart of a champion. And yes, the Boston Celtics are a proven and determined champion. Boston knows what it takes to be great at sports, although not very often in basketball.

[Stugotz]

Easy with the proven years, easy with the Proven plenty of questions about our last championship reign. Because we got so lucky with all the injured players. The best player on every team that we played got hurt. Very fortunate.

[Chris Cody]

You can't do this person. You can't keep doing this person.

[Amin Elhassan]

Loving it.

[Stugotz]

What a self aware Boston Celtics fan. I'm like manna from heaven.

[Greg Cody]

Wtei.

[Chris Cody]

This is what I want to tell you about the weirdness of how it is that I watched the game last night, okay? Because Zaslo left here. You have seen Zaslo say how he sleeps at night knowing that he's got the champion. He goes to bed at the end of these games and he's just got this. This giant smile on his face because it's how the Chiefs feel, okay? And I'm not saying that the Panthers are there yet because they're not. But to climb to the top of this sport, it is clear that they have learned through style and physical resiliency what it takes to get to the top of the sport and what it takes to buzz saw that team, a very good team at a time that its fan base is scared going into the game. Because Canada, because 25 years. Because here come the Tkachuks and they know what they're doing. I didn't watch the game. I'm listening to it on Toronto radio because. Because I want the Panthers to get a one goal lead and I want to hear what it sounds like there to know that I got in poker. The nuts that you don't have what this is. And the announcer said the perfect thing after the first. After the first goal, the Toronto announcer said the perfect thing because I got the silence at one nothing. And he says, these are the Panthers from game four. They're here. This is reminiscent. And now the fear of history sweeps through the building. They know what a champion looks like. It never looks like like them. Never looks like them. And they see their team broken. Yeah, our backup goalie was great. Can you believe it? It's such a nice story. But here comes the team that knows how to gear up for this time of the season. And they'll choke you out when they get the lead because you will do nothing the rest of the game. And I could hear soaked in the announcer's voice at one nothing with the silence. They're here now and I'm telling you it was haunting. As someone who loves audio, I wanted you left here hoping that Toronto would go down one nothing so that you would hear what's what. Toronto, you would hear the fear.

[Greg Cody]

Like the Panthers didn't Have to go up one nothing. Yesterday the Leafs had to go up one nothing because if the Panthers get that lead in the first period, that crowd is so tight and they were shook after that one nothing lead because it's. Yeah. Not only did we give up the first goal, but they are strangling us the way that we were strangled the entire game. Number four. And it's why after game one, even game two, I mean, obviously I was nervous, but it's why after game one of the Leafs won, Leafs fans were excited. They should have been. It was one nothing. I was like, you know, we're fine. Like we. We played terrible in game one. Game two, for that matter. And I feel like the Leafs probably felt like they played pretty well in game one and they barely escaped with that win. And it's like, all right, the longer this series goes, if you don't kill us dead. And they had a chance to kill us dead. They were a goal away from a three nothing series lead. Heck, they were up three to one in the second period.

[Chris Cody]

Cody, are you laughing at kill us dead? Are you laughing at the journalists us there?

[Amin Elhassan]

No, no, I get it. I understand it.

[Greg Cody]

This isn't us.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's fine.

[Stugotz]

Fine.

[Greg Cody]

I'm in. I'm in the thick of this here, Greg.

[Amin Elhassan]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

And now.

[Amin Elhassan]

I thought you played well last night, by the way. Congrats.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

Look, Zazlo, I mean, he probably netted a goal. Everybody else did.

[Amin Elhassan]

Zazlo, AJ Green or whatever place for the bucks. Okay, that's true. I'm thinking of the receiver. You're right. Is he still.

[Stugotz]

He used to play for the Bengals. I'm talking about A.J. green.

[Chris Cody]

But doesn't. Doesn't need to be. Has got it down. He knows playing the hits.

[Stugotz]

I thought he retired.

[Chris Cody]

He went to game three and four. I will say this had to pull up. So if this person who cares a great deal about the Panthers said he went game three and game four and told me before the game. It's the business.

[Greg Cody]

Just saying.

[Stugotz]

He did.

[Chris Cody]

He texted me only one sentence both times. Going to the arena. My team needs me.

[Greg Cody]

Sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

[Amin Elhassan]

I mean, fans think like that.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I had other things going on, but it's like, whatever, right? Get in the car. Team needs me.

[Amin Elhassan]

Fans are convinced that they're the six men on the.

[Stugotz]

He's not a fan though. He's a two time champion broadcast and he knows exactly what it takes to get to that mountaintop.

[Greg Cody]

And I knew my team needed me by the Finalist.

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, I just invented.

[Stugotz]

That's a wicked good word. Hold on, hold on.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute. I believe like we've got a lot of those in the media now. I feel like everybody's a fan list now, man.

[Greg Cody]

Top analyst right now.

[Chris Cody]

Who are the top finalists? Let's do it. That's a good lesson because it's changing. The sports media is changing. It's becoming finalists. Wilbond's out there with his Cubs jersey tucked into his jeans while he's throwing out the first pitch. I'm banging on a hockey drum.

[Stugotz]

I mean, Bill Simmons, chief analyst.

[Greg Cody]

Everybody's a fanless Mike Greenberg zazzle.

[Chris Cody]

You will notice Cody is not calling himself a one time Panthers hockey champion. Like he's not. He's not associating himself with that champion.

[Greg Cody]

He doesn't have a championship ring either.

[Amin Elhassan]

He's a champion columnist. Panthers columnist.

[Chris Cody]

But he's a fan of the Panthers. He's a journalist about the Heat. You will concede that, will you not? He's a basketball journalist.

[Stugotz]

Can you guys get back to breaking down the game? We were talking puck and it wasn't one of the three and a half talking points that Dan has. He was so happy to get that half one with Brad Marsham. But now that I'm on board, we're good.

[Chris Cody]

I don't want to talk to you today.

[Amin Elhassan]

On board.

[Chris Cody]

I don't, I don't. This is this, this person.

[Stugotz]

Let my boy talk puck that I.

[Chris Cody]

Have never heard from the self aware Celtics fan. It's not that you can't create that character.

I'm just a truth teller. I live and die with my Cs. But I mean you look at that title that we won, you closely inspect it. You look under the hood and you realize, okay, we got very, very, very fortunate to never have actually prove it.

Fine. The Panthers did to the Bruins to get what they are right now to watch in real time, a hockey team change its entire blueprint to become architecturally something that is tougher in the third period and that Toronto knows to fear. Because whatever the regular season was, when this team gets to 100 points winning this way, everyone knows that it could beat everybody because it already has. However, I am terrified of Edmonton. Call it now. Yeah, terrified.

[Amin Elhassan]

Wow. They're already getting past the east finals.

[Chris Cody]

Fully terrified.

[Stugotz]

I am fully terrified here in the west champion.

[Amin Elhassan]

Well, he means, he means, I mean Panthers, we're skipping ahead around. I like that you know it. In, in the last minute of the game, the Panthers were still out working it. It it's amazing the effort and and the the coach for for the other team said this. We were outworked. We were out hustled. We were out wanted.
