Transcript

[Dan Le Batard]

I believe that Zaslo critiquing your wardrobe is not something that anyone had coming today. Zaslo calling anyone underdressed or poorly dressed when I am certain that there are items of clothing in his closet that are older than Greg Cody, grandfathered in. You shouldn't be calling anybody a bum.

[Greg Cody]

If I was on CBS network, I'm not wearing a holy shirt.

[Mike Ryan]

That's why I think of me. I know Mike's right that, like, on sidelines, he does this a lot, but this is like a choice. You're doing an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. Like, this feels like a style choice, dog.

[Billy Gill]

I've seen a lot of my friends go down this path where you're in love with a woman and you love love like I love love. And she has suggestions and you're like, you know what? I am not a stylish person. Like, as my default. So why.

[Mike Ryan]

Why can't I just, like, holes are your thing.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

You gotta lean into it.

[Billy Gill]

Lean into it.

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Strategic. I. Let me clarify. Yeah. This is a little surprising. I'm not surprised by the love aspect. We followed his ex girlfriend on ig. He would be down for all that stuff. I saw him at Gronk's beach house letting loose. Like, this is not the fact that he would fall this in love and be like that, public with it is not that surprising to me. It's the fact that she has seemingly replaced Mike Lombardi that has surprised me.

[Greg Cody]

Do you think at some point, cbs, when they showed up, they said, is that what you're wearing? Or they're just like, yeah, this makes sense.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is Amina alleging matching outfits? Because the New York Post is reporting today that the consensus among people around Belichick, according to a source, is that this relationship is, quote, alarming and Hudson is, quote, a runaway train. End quote.

[Billy Gill]

Look, man, she's a young lady who's opinionated, who has a very clear vision. And that vision apparently inspires Bill Pelichek. And so people around him, because they're going to be like, oh, I don't know why, and she's making all these decisions. But the reality is everyone needs to just love, love and just support.

[Dan Le Batard]

You've mentioned that a few different times. Let's get to. Yes, you said that. Let's get to juju here. You really didn't have a rebuttal, though, for the fact that you would admit as right that your sartorial splendor is somewhat limited and probably a great frustration to your wife and people who love you.

[Greg Cody]

Well, you're using words here, sartorial. I don't know what they mean. So it's kind of going to shrug at that one.

[Amin Elhassan]

Does your wife approve of your closet?

[Mike Ryan]

That was an obnoxious sentence you said there.

[Amin Elhassan]

Does your wife approve of your closet?

[Greg Cody]

Oh, she hates it. She hates when I think, why could you have said that from the start? Satorial words. I have no idea what you're saying. You know, you say words like that. I take it as disrespect. I don't know what you mean.

[Amin Elhassan]

Juju, thank you for joining us. Good seeing you. What's the commentary? Surely you heard us fall into the quicksand with Chris Cody on. On Wedding Garters, and you must have enjoyed that.

[Juju Gotti]

Hell yeah. Yeah, I left my boy Chris on an island, but the YouTube chat was there for my dog Chris. Jason barber from the YouTube chat says Chris Cody is correct. I've been to several where weddings where the recipients of the bouquet and the garter belt then have like a garter belt put up the leg of the the bouquet recipient, like. So it's out there on the YouTube chat. You feel me? That Chris Cody might be a little right.

[Dan Le Batard]

You've been settled. Chris Cody felt very alone. It was the piranha were circling on him. Billy had a lot of very strong opinions. Amin was very judgy.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. But Chris kind of did it to himself because he explained it not in the best way. You ready start talking about a dude's leg and all that?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, yeah, I got a little confused because. Because I remember my wedding where they swapped him out. So that's why.

[Ron McGill]

A note that Mike didn't mention from the Jordan Hudson Instagram post is that in that screen cap of an email there is a song playing with the Instagram post, which you can do now, which is look what Made Me do by Taylor Swift.

[Chris Cody]

And the email was definitely written by Bill Belichick.

[Dan Le Batard]

100% juju. Do you have any. Now that Amin is giving a Tuesday television recommendation, do you have any television recommendations for us? We will spoil the rehearsal tomorrow.

[Juju Gotti]

Oh, yes, I do. I waited a couple weeks to make sure this show was as good as I thought it was. But ladies and gentlemen, I give you the permission and I give you the suggestion to check out Mob Land on Paramount plus. Tom Hardy, Take a bow. Pierce Brosnan is back. Helen Mirren is back. What a show. Every episode so far has been stupendous. So check out Mob Land on Paramount plus when you get a chance.

[Dan Le Batard]

You haven't recommended anything since paradise, have you?

[Juju Gotti]

Hell, nah. And I'm back recommending because Dog rarely is a show. Just have me hooked like these shows like that I'm mentioning. So, yeah, Mobland, Tom Hardy, the cast of this show, Bri, I love everything from British, like every British television show. Mostly I'm like my boy Chris Whittingham. You dig me? I think I'm a London lad and a fancy one at that. So check out Mobland. Asap.

[Greg Cody]

I loved Paradise. That's my show.

[Mike Ryan]

So good.

[Dan Le Batard]

What do you have for us in terms of a joker of the day? Do we have a joker of the day?

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, I got two quit Jokers of the day. You feel me? Tyler. Hero, my brother. You can't say you're not going to lose the next game and lose by a hundred points. And you have four. Four points. One for ten, shooting, one for nine. Three pointers, my brother. Not a great look. Also, second joker of the day, John Morant. You can't get swept and then be like, oh, I had him figured out. If I wouldn't have got hurt, we would have. I had it. Even though I get what she's saying. He went. He got hurt, and then it was up like, what, 25, 30 points at the time. But you got swept, brother. You can't say that. I would have beat him up if I didn't. My shoe wasn't untied. Yeah. So those are my two jokers of the day. You feel me?

[Dan Le Batard]

What else you got from basketball? Any Golden State opinions?

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, that. That Warriors Rocket series right now, that's prime time. I hate that. It's so late at night, so I gotta be staying up so late.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a good series.

[Juju Gotti]

Hell, yeah. Draymond Green is unhinged, like he should have got kicked out the game around the second quarter, but the referees allowed it. They called it a flagrant foul instead of a technical. His second technical. I got a suggestion, though, for Houston Rockets, Jack Landell. Who else? Cam Whitmore. Give them boys some.

[Billy Gill]

Some.

[Juju Gotti]

Some time to get in the game, just to go agitate Draymond. Just say, hey, Lindell, walk up to Draymond, flick his nose and say, I beat your ass. And Draymond will get kicked out of the game asap. He has no composure. He doesn't. He doesn't give a damn. He had five fouls, and they sat him out the whole fourth quarter. But the most important part of the fourth quarter, whenever Sengun tried to hit the last winning shot, he was there to take care of business. Defensive player of the year Finalist as he should be. Get him out the game early.

[Greg Cody]

Most guys get a technical foul and their behavior gets toned down a little bit. It's like, all right, I don't want to get thrown out here. Draymond gets a technical. His behavior gets worse for the rest of the game. And none of these referees have the guts.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's daring him. He's daring him to. To be the center of the story and eject him.

[Billy Gill]

The best time to speed is after you just got a speeding ticket.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Lebiton show is the best time to speed just after you got a speeding ticket? Because I've gotten two speeding tickets by.

[Amin Elhassan]

Two different police in the same drive. Yeah, like the. Yeah, yeah, because.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, because a school zone. Yes, because the.

[Amin Elhassan]

The second thing was the school.

[Billy Corben]

Same school zone, like you said. Someone stopping.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no, I don't want to talk about it.

[Billy Gill]

Awful.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't agree with what you're saying.

[Mike Ryan]

Bragging about a school zone ticket.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not. I wasn't bragging.

[Ron McGill]

Look at me, Louie.

[Billy Corben]

I could speed through school zones on Dan Levitard.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is what I shout in my convertible.

[Amin Elhassan]

Smoking a cigar, blowing.

[Billy Corben]

Screw you, kids.

[Amin Elhassan]

Smoking, blowing smoke in the face of toddlers. First grader with a backpack. Screw you, kid. I'm Dan Levittart. I can fly through here at 60 miles an hour. You and your 15 mile an hour rules. I put the cigar out right in your forehead. Call your dad. I'm Dan Lebatar.

[Chris Cody]

Your dad's probably a f. It's like.

[Ron McGill]

A little kid on a scooter, and you're just blowing by him, giving him the bird.

[Amin Elhassan]

Careening, careening through the school zone. What do you have for us in the way of poll updates? Juju?

[Juju Gotti]

Yes, sir. Before the poll was. I want to you give my GM some credit. Brandon Beam was absolutely correct, brother. We scored so many points all year long, and what killed us at the end of the year is Patrick Mahomes. Hike. He looks Kyrie Elam. Oh, Easy Scooby Snacks. Instant passes. Oh. Demar Hamlin. God bless the dead. Instant pass over to his side. We had no DBs. We. I. I wanted them to draft nothing but DBs, and they did take a wide receiver late, so I understand his anger and frustration with the media. You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. Neither here nor there. Which also neither here nor there. Sounds like Ron McGill kind of agreed with someone's 100 gorilla take from yesterday. Neither here nor There do you guys don't know.

[Billy Gill]

You guys think it just started yesterday? All weekend long, he's been fascinated. We've been in his group chat where he's just obsessed. Just talking shit about gorillas the whole time. I mean, it's talking wild shit about gorillas.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not afraid of.

[Billy Gill]

Unafraid.

[Dan Le Batard]

Unafraid.

[Billy Gill]

You guys thought Chris Cody was disrespectful to giraffes. I wish I could publish the text that Juju was sending about the gorillas.

[Amin Elhassan]

He's disrespecting gorillas more than anybody is.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, my God. It was. I was laughing all the time. I didn't. I didn't engage you, but I was laughing the whole time. You and J. We're just going in on Gorillaz. And so while we're doing the segment, juju screenshotting Rob McGill's answer and throwing it in the group chat, such as.

[Juju Gotti]

A case closed salute to the doctor Ron McGill, the brilliant doctor that he is. First poll. Do you want to watch extra inning? West coast baseball? 77% of the audience says no, they do not.

[Dan Le Batard]

Billy, I thought the Dodgers and Marlins. Extra innings.

[Juju Gotti]

What do you want?

[Billy Corben]

I see the Dodgers score a billion runs. Dodgers aren't fun. We can just.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're ruining.

[Billy Corben]

Dodgers aren't fun for baseball, winning every game. And by the way, they should be a lot better. If I. If I was there, I'd be looking. I'd be looking into the front office and figuring out why the dodgers, who cost $500 billion a year, are 18 and 10.

[Mike Ryan]

It cost them the game even though they won the game.

[Billy Corben]

They're not fun. It's not fun to see the Dodgers, the rare.

[Billy Gill]

Ruining baseball. And also, why aren't they winning more?

[Billy Corben]

They should be winning more. They should win every single game. The Dodgers should be undefeated with what they're paying their players.

[Mike Ryan]

But they're not. I know, but you're, like, complaining as well.

[Billy Corben]

It's not fun.

[Billy Gill]

This is like when the big three got together in Miami and Jeff Van Gundy said they're gonna go 79 and 3, which everyone was like, oh, Jeff, Ben Gudy is really high on the heat. I'm like, no, no, no, no. That's not what he's doing. He's doing the. Oh, if you bastards would lose any games, you messed up. You messed up royally.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, what Billy just did, though, is the Dodgers are winning every game. They should be better.

[Billy Corben]

They should be better. They shouldn't be tied with the lowly Giants in their division. Are we agreeing with Are we disagreeing with.

[Juju Gotti]

I just.

[Dan Le Batard]

Every time I look up, they need seven runs and they get eight.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, first it was like, I don't want to watch them score 100 runs.

[Billy Corben]

I don't.

[Mike Ryan]

But they're not doing that.

[Greg Cody]

But they should be.

[Mike Ryan]

It's like, what's your argument?

[Billy Corben]

They've scored 123 runs. The Dodgers are a super team, but they're not that super.

[Ron McGill]

They have the second best record in baseball.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah. They should have the best by far, by leaps and bounds.

[Dan Le Batard]

Half a game, more polls.

[Juju Gotti]

Juju also was flown under the radar, which a lot of listeners of the show brought to my attention. Dan, why did you think that Anthony Edwards moment happened at WrestleMania? What was that?

[Dan Le Batard]

That's a good point.

[Billy Gill]

It's not that. He thought. It is that. He tried to fight me and. And Tony on it. We're like, damn. No, Dan, he was at the scores table.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, I've got a couple of short circuits here and there that happen every couple of days.

[Juju Gotti]

If hell had an eternal open bar, would you consider going? 60 of the audience says, yes, they would.

[Chris Cody]

That's why they're in hell.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow.

[Billy Gill]

It's. Hey, it's a good crowd down there.

[Dan Le Batard]

But it's all Jagermeister and fireball.

[Chris Cody]

Hitler's probably down there, though.

[Billy Gill]

Okay.

[Chris Cody]

There's a couple bad apples.

[Amin Elhassan]

Jesus.

[Dan Le Batard]

A couple.

[Juju Gotti]

Hell yeah. Speaking of bad apples, Pukinakua brother slapped a fan in the UFL all the weekend. Pukinakua's brother, right. Neither here nor there could you memorize 143 names in two days? 78% of the audience says, no, they could not.

[Billy Gill]

That's why they're not in the NFL.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Sanders.

[Amin Elhassan]

You guys think in order.

[Dan Le Batard]

By the way, it's not just 143 names.

[Amin Elhassan]

You guys had him drafted in order.

[Chris Cody]

Can't even do that. Over the course of 20 years before Thanksgiving, I get like a little refresher course.

[Amin Elhassan]

Cheat sheet.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like, little notes.

[Chris Cody]

The girl that was dating the guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

With her cousin with the fingers waggling like that.

[Chris Cody]

And then whatever Cynthia says, she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Janet. Janet. I knew that, knew that, knew that it was Janet.

[Billy Gill]

That's always the move. Just whatever name they say, you just agree wholeheartedly.

[Chris Cody]

Janet.

[Dan Le Batard]

Another poll, juju.

[Juju Gotti]

No, those are your polls.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Juju Gotti]

Hell yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.

[Juju Gotti]

Thank you. Thank you. Zaz as well. Go Heat.

[Greg Cody]

I don't love your jacket.
