Transcript

[Dan Le Batard]

You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network.

[Billy Gill]

Get the Angel Reese Special at McDonald's. Now, let's break it down. My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and the drinks. Sound good? Ba da ba ba ba.

[Greg Cody]

I participate in restaurants for a limited time.

[Mike Ryan]

A long, long time ago, Dan was a prodigy. And his writing used to make him smile. And he knew if he had his chance, he'd rat out um for bogus Pell grants and maybe learn from Cody for a while. But network money made him sell his. So now he shows all his bias to the heat. And now the Panthers dance. Fake news. Oh, have you heard? I can't remember if he cried when he told us with his face so wide that all his morals were a lie the day journalism died so Dan was saying, oh, my, how I'd love to eat pie oh, but if it has some gluten then I think I may die I'll shoot my integrity straight into the sky Bangin Panthers drums as a Cuban born guy. Panthers drums as a Cuban born guy.

[Juju Gotti]

I don't even know what that means. Cuban born guy. I wasn't born in Cuba.

[Chris Cote]

That was the description of you originally for the Panthers game yesterday. It was Cuban born. Dan Lev.

[Juju Gotti]

That's what they did, but I don't even know what that means.

[Greg Cody]

It also had to rhyme with PI.

[Juju Gotti]

I told them to put in alleged journalist and not Cuban born. They left in the Cuban born and didn't put in alleged journalists.

[Chris Cote]

Oh, my God. New movie idea. Cuban born, but Jason Bourne, but Cuban.

[Gregg Cody]

Yes.

[Chris Cote]

Wow. New Tony character is right.

[Jessica]

Jess, whatever happened to Cuban pilot?

[Chris Cote]

Well, you know.

[Juju Gotti]

All right, good. Yes. And Billy, good thinking. On your feet.

[Chris Cote]

I don't want to. I don't want to get into the airline industry, but juju executive order.

[Juju Gotti]

We will get to the polls in a second with juju, and we will get to a couple of other subjects. But, Mike, hurry through, please. Your final Mount Rushmore of the day. This has been too much today. From you on Mount Rushmore, top five.

[Mike Ryan]

Moments in South Florida sports history where you had to cover your children's eyes.

[Gregg Cody]

Wow. That's among Gregmore five instead of four.

[Mike Ryan]

Oli Dan Speedo, second list.

[Jessica]

Congratulations.

[Mike Ryan]

Number four, the 2014 Miami Beach bowl between Memphis and BYU. Now, I've long maintained America is racist, but this might be the biggest example, certainly the most recent 2014. Can't think of anything more recent. Do you remember what happened at the 2014 Miami Beach bowl between BYU and Memphis.

[Juju Gotti]

I do not.

[Mike Ryan]

Double O T Thriller and then an all out brawl the likes of which you haven't seen at Marlins park ever. It was crazy. Crazy violent. Puka Nakua's brother was involved. It was a disaster. No one was talking about it because it happened at like 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a Tuesday.

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, it was like one of those. Was it in the Bahamas or was it.

[Mike Ryan]

No, it was at the Miami beach bowl, but it was at Morelands park, now defunct.

[Juju Gotti]

Did it become the Bahamas Bowl? All right, so what's number three?

[Mike Ryan]

Number three, The Miami FIU fight at the Orange Pole where Ned. Ned came out in crutches. It was an ugly scene.

[Chris Cote]

No, it was, it was awesome.

[Mike Ryan]

It was an awesome scene. It was a great scene.

[Juju Gotti]

The best moment ever.

[Mike Ryan]

Lamar Thomas was screaming, we ready? Number two, the 1997 Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks, game five. And number one, the Copa America final of 2024.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow.

[Juju Gotti]

Number one.

[Greg Cody]

Oh w. He's so right about that. Number one already never scanned my ticket.

[Juju Gotti]

Juju, do you have any nominations on any of the Mount Rushmores that have been submitted today?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. The Kenyon Drake touchdown where Gronk screws. Fell out trying to tap him at the buzzer.

[Juju Gotti]

A single play. That's a pretty good play to beat. It's because of who you're doing it to, right? If it, it, it's great under any circumstances. But Belichick and Gronk is the last line of defense where you get to laugh at the end. Cause he's. He' like that. You don't get better punctuation than that on anything. What other thoughts from today's show? Did you have any thoughts on Mike Ryan being racist about Michael Strahan not being able to play the. The next Bond?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think we cleared that up. I think Carl was the racist one, if I'm not mistaken.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you, Juju.

[Dan Le Batard]

You feel me? And I, I agree, brother. Like, can you imagine Michael Strahan in downtown Beirut trying to be inconspicuous? Like, I don't, I don't think so. I think through the grace of you were a TV host and through the grace of Tiki Barber you are a TV host.

[Juju Gotti]

Okay, very good. That's true actually. Then I wonder how many people actually know that Tiki Barber goes to bed at night furious that Michael Strahan took all his jobs. Like that was all supposed to go to Tiki Barber. What else do you have for us here today? Kyrie Irving, the Dallas Mavericks, man. Like, that is. That is. You are.

[Greg Cody]

You are so bad for Nico.

[Juju Gotti]

Look, you're in mourning right now. You love sports and you try and spread positivity. Why are you wearing the Irving gear?

[Dan Le Batard]

Exactly? I'm. I'm here for accountability. I got up here last week and said, nico will be right. The Mavericks will win. What the hell was I thinking? I have never been more wrong. And I just want to raise my hand and say, out of bounds on me, coach. Man. Get well soon. Kyrie Irving. But it has been terrible, all downhill since that trade for Dallas, man. I. I want to keep hope alive for him, but it's getting very hard too, man. Out for the season, Kyrie Irving. Get well soon.

[Gregg Cody]

How do you like the timing of Dallas announcing a raise in ticket prices?

[Dan Le Batard]

Chef's kiss. The bow on top of this trash ass season, man. Did salute to them and the Cowboys. But speaking of Chef kisses. And on a positive note, the season finale of paradise came out yesterday. Holy moly. I will not spoil it. But Chef's kiss juju.

[Greg Cody]

I'm starting tonight. I'm starting it tonight.

[Juju Gotti]

The first episode, once they set you at the premise and you see where all of that is headed, like, if it keeps escalating from the first episode, I could see what you and Amin are talking about. Like, and I'm guessing it does, right? I've heard some people say that episode seven of paradise is like episode seven of the Bear. Like, some of the best television you've ever seen.

[Dan Le Batard]

Absolutely, man. I'm talking about pins and needles the entire time in this finale. Last night, we stayed up till like the midnight release just to watch it because I couldn't deal with the spoilers online, man. Great. And it got renewed for another season. I heard. Man, hats off to that whole show. If you're involved with that, I salute you for sure. I heard Mina also talking about this season of Love is Blind. Like, it picks up. I love my sister Mina. That thing does not pick up. I mean, the whole season of Love is Blind is as boring as watching paint dry. Everybody's too Even kill. Everybody's too responsible. We won't have any drama, no scandals. There's only one guy who's kind of a douche because he doesn't want to tell his. The girl that he. He's with, that he doesn't like her because she messed with her friend. His friend previously. He has no balls. But that's not. That's boring as well. It's like the prenup was an episode. It's like, oh, do not watch this season if you love. Love.

[Juju Gotti]

Billy, you have any defense of this?

[Chris Cote]

No, I haven't seen it yet. I need infidelity. Like, I need cheating. I need some. I need some sloppiness. I need them going to the honeymoon suite and then looking at the other ones that they could have been like, okay, like, we go, this is what I could have had. Like, all right, I like Jimmy. Okay, Jimmy, like, that's what you need. Not like, okay, we love each other. Who cares? I don't want to watch that show, love. I don't watch it for lust.

[Jessica]

They know that they're gonna. They don't want to be the villain of that scene.

[Chris Cote]

You have to be. Can I tell you guys something? As a connoisseur of reality television?

[Greg Cody]

Are you talking to us or the contestants?

[Chris Cote]

Everyone listening. America as a whole, you need to be a villain or you're not invited back on the shows for any other seasons. Like, if you're not on the Bachelor cheating on the Bachelorette, you're not going to be part of Bachelor in Paradise ever and be part of the Bachelor universe ever. You're not going to be on the Traitors, you're not going to be on the Goat, you're not going to be in any of these spin off shows. It pays to be a piece of shit on television. Like, that's how you come back year after year after year is you act horribly, absolutely, terribly to everyone around you. And everyone wants a villain. So they always keep casting all of the really bad garbage people. If you're like an upstanding citizen, you're never going to work in reality television ever again.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I think America took your note.

[Chris Cote]

Good Entertainment Television to come. Thank you. Juju gets it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, sir. I get it. I also get what Greg Cody was saying earlier. Fantastic English accent, British accent. Greg Cody, you might be a brother. I could see you playing a James Bond, like, character. Almost Austin Powers. Ish.

[Gregg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

You feel me?

[Gregg Cody]

I do.

[Dan Le Batard]

I can see it.

[Chris Cote]

I do. You know who Greg could be? Greg, you could be like Alfred for Batman probably.

[Gregg Cody]

I like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love it. Bond. You know who could be a good James Bond?

[Gregg Cody]

Who? Me.

[Dan Le Batard]

James McAvoy. The. He played in like a split and he played like the, the dog or the, the deer and whatever the movie was. Narnia. I think he would be a good person. And, uh, Barry Keegan would be a good villain from Saltburn. He'll be a great villain. Make one of his eyes a different color. James Bond holler at us. We got you, dad.

[Greg Cody]

Do you even know who Alfred is in relation to Batman?

[Gregg Cody]

No idea. What is he? Batman's dad? His butler, Alfred Bond.

[Mike Ryan]

I've got bad news about his dad.

[Juju Gotti]

Juju, are we gonna update the polls? Do you have any good thoughts on anything drum banging related?

[Dan Le Batard]

Brother, you did such a great job, man. I feel like it's all about the energy you bring. I think you bought the energy. You met the moment. Salute to Ron McGill's. He. Great cinematography. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, man. To the people who said you went too fast or too slow. Look at here. Like, he. He brought the energy. What do you want him to do? Turning to shield or E whenever the beat comes, like he's. He is who he is. Like, we can't expect that. And for the journalist that's saying journalism is dead. You know what I smell in the air? Jealousy. Because you asked them to bang the drum. They will be banging that drum instantly. And salute to my sister, Mina Kimes. I love you. You are my. But I remember you throwing out the first pitch for the Seattle Mariners. That's very beat the drum bangish, if you ask me. Neither here nor there.

[Greg Cody]

Edge of your seat, huh? During that video.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Juju Gotti]

You really called him on that one.

[Greg Cody]

The big twist at the end got you.

[Juju Gotti]

He was leaning up in his chair. How does this end? Let's update some of the polls here at Levittard Show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did everyone look like Mike ditka in the 90s? 79 of the audience says yes, they did.

[Juju Gotti]

Funny question.

[Dan Le Batard]

Should Adrian Brody ever work in this town again? 73% of the audience says no, he should not. And take your stinking speech with you. Better name for your last reliever. Bob Save or Al Closer.

[Greg Cody]

On Al.

[Dan Le Batard]

77% of the audience went Al closer.

[Greg Cody]

Of course, it's the obvious choice.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, sir. Willow, eat Jessica. If Jessica died near her, I think.

[Jessica]

I would want her to. I don't want her to die. Too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right. 89% of the audience said yes. Willow will. She knows what to do with it.

[Jessica]

But maybe she would. I don't know. Makes me sad to think about. I think if it were between me and Leemon, she'd eat me first. For sure.

[Juju Gotti]

She respects him more. Right.

[Jessica]

There's just more meat on my bones.

[Dan Le Batard]

In the last poll, can you have more than one corn dog? 65% of the audience says, yes, you can. Those are the polls.

[Juju Gotti]

Thank you, Juju. We will talk to you tomorrow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, sir. Thank y'all.
