Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Quarterback Ratings Confusion

• The crew balks at the QBR (Quarterback Rating) system, highlighting a bizarre stat: spiking the ball every play earns a QBR of 39.6—higher than some actual QB performances.
• Dan cites: “Per Bleacher Report, JJ McCarthy’s Vikings QBR in Week 12 was 34.2...if you spiked it every play, it’s 39.6. So what are we doing?” (01:40-02:02)
• Jeremy and Greg Cody mock QBR:
  • Greg: “This is so bang on stupid. I’m so glad someone stepped and said it.” (02:34)
• The gang questions the logic of rating systems, concluding that turnovers kill your score more than sheer incompetence.

2. 100 Million Streams: Show Milestone

• The show celebrates reaching 100 million streams on Spotify in the past year.
• Roy: “100 million is obviously a lot...and it’s just Spotify.” (03:22)

• Chris: “Who doesn’t have folds of fat when you’re sleeping on your...chin?” (06:54-06:57)

- Halftime Show Analysis:

• Mike: “Every dad north of 40 pulling their lower back once Jack White brought Eminem out.” (07:33-07:40)
• Greg claims inside knowledge—that Jack White uses white flour as stage makeup, leading to playful skepticism.
• Chris: “That’s...I just don’t believe you’ve seen him...” (09:03)
• The crew riffs on Greg’s famous “happen to know” tales.

- Holiday Programming & Lip Sync Snafus:

• Busta Rhymes’ lip-syncing mishap at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is recounted.
• Mike: “He was just like going on...you could tell it was pre-recorded, but then he forgot it was pre-recorded.” (10:02-10:12)
• Discussion pivots to the enduring oddness of televised holiday spectacles.

- Viral Prank & Sports Embarrassments:

• Jeremy tells of a fake NFL insider tweet about a player watching porn during a team meeting, which duped millions.
• The group reminisces about classic viral “sex noise” prank texts.
• Roy: “Everyone that receives that is like, he got me...sex noise. Someone tickling a tonsil.” (12:45-12:53)

[Chris Cody]

Stat of the Day Presented by Amazon Prime Video Thursday Night Football is on this week Dallas Cowboys take on the Detroit Lions. Coverage Begins Thursday at 7pm Eastern only on Prime Video.

[Dan]

Per Bleacher Report, JJ McCarthy's Vikings QBR in Week 12 34.2 not good. In Week 13, Max Brosmer for the Vikings total QBR 32.8.

[Chris Cody]

Also not good.

[Dan]

The QBR, if you spiked the ball on every single play would be 39.6.

[Jeremy]

Ah, so what are we doing?

[Roy]

Come on. Come on. What do you mean?

[Jeremy]

Stupid rating, Stupid stat.

[Greg Cody]

It is stupid.

[Roy]

Well, interceptions are worse than spiking the ball into the ground.

[Dan]

That's right.

[Jeremy]

Spiking the ball into the ground every play is definitely worse than interceptions.

[Mike]

Is that just incomplete?

[Chris Cody]

No, it's not.

[Jeremy]

Yes, it is, because there are other plays besides the interceptions. Maybe I had interceptions and I also had touchdowns. Well, you're telling me spiking the ball every plays better.

[Dan]

Brosmer had a six out.

[Greg Cody]

I'm with this.

[Jeremy]

I dare you to. I dare you to tell me I'm not right.

[Greg Cody]

This is so bang on stupid. I'm so glad someone stepped and said it.

[Dan]

Brosberg's play directly led to points for the other team. At least if you spike the ball on every play, you could punt it.

[Jeremy]

At least if you spike.

[Dan]

I'd rather spike the ball on every plate than run backwards 15, 18 yards and throw it right at the defender.

[Jeremy]

I didn't realize this segment was identifying all the non ball knowers.

[Mike]

Oh, Jeremy, just being real loud.

[Greg Cody]

Common thread.

[Dan]

I don't like James Madison and byu man. Justice for those teams. You losers win games, get to conference championships. Win conference championships.

[Jeremy]

How would spiking the ball into the ground every play be anything other than a zero rating?

[Unknown Guest]

Right.

[Jeremy]

Thanks.

[Unknown Guest]

You're welcome.

[Chris Cody]

It's stupid.

[Greg Cody]

Hello?

[Unknown Guest]

If you go over one, it's a 39.6 rating.

[Mike]

Hello?

[Unknown Guest]

Doesn't make any sense.

[Roy]

I have in my possession. This is heavy and I am proud of it. And I am proud of our listeners and grateful for our listeners because over the last year here we have gotten 100 million streams. What are you laughing about, Roy? It's ridiculous to see you laugh at me as John Tesh wearing that incredible wig.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I just realized that, so I'm shutting up.

[Roy]

100 million is obviously a lot and it's just a year. And it's just Spotify because we're on a lot of different places. So I'm truly staggered by that number. And you would agree, Greg, this is heavy what Spotify has sent us, right? This. Yeah, it's pretty substantive.

[Greg Cody]

He's got this.

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah. I also want to welcome you to the club because the Greg Cody show got this, I think, I don't know, a year and a half ago, something like that. No, we got one. We were honored. For a thousand streams, you're underselling us most. Gerd.

[Roy]

I'm sorry, I thought that juju was joining us. He is not joining us today. Did you get it all out of your system on the University of Miami, Mike, or are we gonna keep doing this? Because I can't keep doing it.

[Greg Cody]

I keep trying to subvert our show by saying we can't put Mario on. This guy's just only made it worse. And then my contact was like, clarify which one, Jeremy or Dan?

[Dan]

Mario's your contact.

[Roy]

Right? Let's go ahead and do funniest thing from the sports weekend.

[Intro/Outro Voice]

Hey, people, tell us what in sport made you laugh hardest this weekend. In this segment we call what made you laugh this weekend.

[Unknown Guest]

Ha.

[Roy]

Jeremy, would you like to get us started, please?

[Chris Cody]

Seven and five.

[Dan]

Duke's playing in the ACC championship game over the Hurricanes. Manny Diaz has reached the ACC championship before Mario Cristobal.

[Chris Cody]

That is funny.

[Greg Cody]

If only the shock of Duke making it to the ACC championship game before Miami still had any kind of weight. He doesn't make this.

[Chris Cody]

You're right. Do the right thing. ACC commission, they don't make playoffs. Do the right thing.

[Roy]

Roy, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

[Greg Cody]

The National Football Conference's first seed right now is being held by the Chicago Bears.

[Dan]

Wow.

[Chris Cody]

Are they good? Yeah, I think they are.

[Mike]

They're sneaky good.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

No, they're just good.

[Chris Cody]

Sneaky good means they're not good, though.

[Mike]

No, they're sneaky good.

[Jeremy]

They're better than Mississippi State. So. Matter with you?

[Unknown Guest]

Whoa.

[Roy]

I am seriously curious about this. If I had, I don't imagine what the odds could be. But you didn't have anyone who was saying the three best records this deep into the NFL season would be Pat's Bronx Broncos and Bears?

[Jeremy]

Are you delivering a pizza?

[Roy]

Pat's Bronco. I wish my pizzas were this heavy. I wish they were covered in so much things that. That they would be this heavy. No one had that though, right? No, there's. There's not an expert. Like, I heard some people saying the Colts might be better than you think. I heard some people saying the Broncos might be better than you think. But I did not hear anybody saying Patriots, Bears, Broncos is the top of the sport record.

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah. Especially when they started 0 and 2 and now where they are. It's crazy. It's insane.

[Roy]

Chris, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

[Chris Cody]

Dozens of people on the Internet thinking I fell asleep at a Vikings game.

[Roy]

Wow.

[Jeremy]

Why'd you go to that game?

[Chris Cody]

Doesn't have red hair. Like, I don't see it, but it's not me. For the record, I was at home on Sunday.

[Roy]

The folds of fat on the side of the face, that's what did it.

[Unknown Guest]

You think?

[Roy]

Gratuitous.

[Dan]

You jerk.

[Roy]

I'm not making this about Chris Cody. I'm making it about the photo they just put in front of me. They're folds of fat. He's sleeping on the folds of fat on the side of his face.

[Chris Cody]

Who doesn't have folds of fat when you're sleeping on your, like, chin?

[Jeremy]

Have you ever fallen asleep at a game?

[Roy]

I have not.

[Jeremy]

How tired do you have to be?

[Chris Cody]

Not good.

[Unknown Guest]

I think I have. At a baseball game.

[Roy]

It's fun in the press box.

[Unknown Guest]

Great.

[Roy]

Just sitting there napping. Napping in front of your computer?

[Unknown Guest]

Yes.

[Dan]

Edinson V On the hill. Down seven, two.

[Chris Cody]

You covering a Marlins game?

[Greg Cody]

Basketball games, heads of state visits.

[Unknown Guest]

Who knows?

[Greg Cody]

Who cares?

[Chris Cody]

How many times have you covered a Marlins game at that stadium this season? No, just in general. Seven games?

[Unknown Guest]

A couple of dozen. I don't know.

[Roy]

Mike, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

[Greg Cody]

Every dad north of 40 pulling their lower back. Once Jack White brought Eminem out.

[Roy]

We didn't talk at all about how great that halftime show was.

[Greg Cody]

It was awesome.

[Roy]

It was great. It was great, guys.

[Greg Cody]

You didn't like it?

[Mike]

I love it.

[Greg Cody]

He played three songs. Two of them you heard of. One of them was an Eminem. Eminem song. And the other one was seven Asian Army.

[Chris Cody]

Jack was great.

[State Farm Announcer]

Yeah, I guess.

[Mike]

He's just so white. He's very pasty.

[Jeremy]

He is.

[Mike]

It's like disconcerting. I look at him like I think he's sick.

[Greg Cody]

He's.

[Chris Cody]

He's going for that, though.

[Unknown Guest]

He uses flower makeup.

[Chris Cody]

That can't be true.

[Unknown Guest]

No, it's true. I know.

[Mike]

It just takes flower, like puts it on his face.

[Chris Cody]

You would know weird things, makeup.

[Roy]

Wait a minute. So Greg Cody is one of his best friends. That friend Chris, his son was in the Rock on tours. Is still in the Rock On Tours, right?

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah, if they ever reunite. Yeah.

[Roy]

And so he has told you this. This is inside information. Is this a happen to know situation?

[Unknown Guest]

It is a happen to know situation.

[Roy]

All right, hold on a second. I don't think Greg Cody has done a happen to know situation.

[Chris Cody]

He happens to know. Great Scott. He happens to know. He happens to know. Gather everyone.

[Dan]

Get the children.

[Chris Cody]

He happens to know.

[Unknown Guest]

I have to wise. Okay. I happen to know that Jack White likes the intense white makeup, the flower makeup, I call it. And I've seen him applying it to himself in backstage prior to a such.

[Chris Cody]

A reckless thing to say.

[Roy]

What do you mean?

[Chris Cody]

I just don't believe.

[Unknown Guest]

I know you applied to him.

[Chris Cody]

That's. I. I know you've met him backstage. I just don't believe you've seen him.

[Roy]

Wait a minute. He's question the happen to know the happened.

[Unknown Guest]

I happen to know.

[Chris Cody]

You can question that.

[Roy]

Wait a minute. You can't question the happen. No, he just made the correction of not did I see him applying it. He then said the more accurate term I saw someone applying it to him.

[Chris Cody]

He also said he saw the Wilt game on tv.

[Unknown Guest]

Well, you know I did. Just because it's being reported that the game was never televised, that doesn't make it so.

[Roy]

It does make it so.

[Unknown Guest]

No, it doesn't.

[Roy]

It was not televised. Pablo Torre found out that there was no video of that game. It has not been seen.

[Unknown Guest]

What do you get, a pepperoni pizza?

[Greg Cody]

No, it came out like it came out last week. No, it was a. It was A fake?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, it was a fake.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, I'll take the fine Tony.

[Roy]

What was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

[Mike]

My wife likes the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Busta Rhymes was in and.

[Chris Cody]

She'S like, is that oh, I love this bus.

[Jeremy]

A bus?

[Mike]

And he was just like going on and it was like you could tell those pre recorded, but then he forgot it was pre recorded. And then every like singer afterwards was. You could tell. It's just absolutely lip synched.

[Roy]

It was such a.

[Chris Cody]

It's the most famous pre recorded thing. It's like a known thing where you're there, you're clearly lip syncing. And Busta Rhymes just completely forgot about his prerecorded ad libs. So while he's like, New York, what's up? Happy Thanksgiving. He's just not saying anything. And like looking out at the crowd, it was hilarious.

[Roy]

So how does this work with you guys?

[Mike]

Why is he on a bluey float?

[Roy]

This time of year there are an assortment of televised holiday specials.

[Chris Cody]

Love holiday programming.

[Roy]

So you've. So you love the Country Music Awards doing during Christmas?

[Chris Cody]

That's the first one you said. That's not my favorite.

[Roy]

I'm just. I'm watching, I'm watching and I'm like, have these not outlived their purpose? The holiday televised extravaganza where in prime time. They're gonna go all out on getting somebody who knows how to coordinate better than Busta Rhymes to remember what the choreography is supposed to be. Like. This is something you guys still enjoy. Because when I saw commercials for it all weekend, I was thinking to myself, this can't still be a thing. But it's still a thing.

[Chris Cody]

Give me celebrities singing Christmas songs at like 3am clearly, because they recorded it at Disney at Magic Kingdom, but it's clearly overnight because they don't want to like impede on one of their days. I love that like the. The best of the holidays from Disney.

[Mike]

My bad is a Ninja Turtles float, not a bluey float for Busta Rhymes.

[Greg Cody]

My important correction and I should have went with national signing day is tomorrow and Penn State has the worst recruiting class in the nation.

[Roy]

What was the funniest thing from the sports week?

[Jeremy]

So there's this account on Twitter that. That reports NFL news. And with Abdul Carter last night where he was benched in the first quarter, but no one knew why. They tweeted out, Abdul Carter will miss the first drive tonight for disciplinary reasons after getting caught watching porn in a team meeting when his headphones disconnected. I mean, it's obviously not a serious account, but it got 24 million views and people thought that he was suspended because he was listening watching porn and his headphones got disconnected. That's funny.

[Roy]

Very relatable, Greg Cody, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

[Unknown Guest]

So the Dolphins are trying to protect a late lead Sunday and the Saints are taking an onside kick. The Dolphins have their hands team in there, and what happened was that the Dolphin players on the hands team went out of their way to avoid touching the ball and the Saints recovered.

[Greg Cody]

You know, it's fun that everybody loves when you get that text of a video and it's like Cristiano Ronaldo interview and you click on it and it's just a girl going, Ah.

[Mike]

No CR7.

[Greg Cody]

Everyone that receives that is like, he got me. This is not at all embarrassing. Sex noise. Someone tickling a tonsil.

[Roy]

My funniest thing from the sports weekend is Shador Sanders running 5 yards and sliding on 4th and 26th.

[Mike]

Yeah, gotta protect the merchandise, Dan.

[Unknown Guest]

Oh, nice.
