Detailed Topics & Insights

1. Promoting Greg Cody’s Podcast & The Infamous “I Need Your Support”

• Promotion attempt: Dan gives grumpy Greg Cody space to promote “The Greg Cody Show,” which Greg alleges he’s been sulking for 90 minutes waiting to do.
  • “It's why he’s checked out for the last 90 minutes in silent protest that we have not promoted his podcast.” (Dan, 01:06)
• Podcast content: Greg promises a “Billy Gill tribute,” a “PPI expose,” and airs the much-fabled, secretly recorded voicemail, sounding like “an old timey recording. I need your support.” (Greg, 02:19)
• Crew’s roast: The voicemail is frantically imitated, and the scene is played up as if Greg is a train-riding politician in the 1920s.
  • “Saloon doors and the train just pulled up… fourth candidate in the region got the red, white and blue banners on the back of the caboose.” (Stugotz, 02:28)
  • “It’s a drunken Greg calling his wife... leaving me a voicemail thinking he’s hung up.” (Le, 03:27)

Notable Moment:
Greg repeatedly, and to much laughter, says, “I need your support.” (various, 02:16-03:49)

2. NBA is Back! JuJu Gotti on the Opening Night

• Marcus Smart’s Antics: The group celebrates Marcus Smart's return to relevance—JuJu animatedly describes Smart’s chaotic play style:
  • “Marcus Smart is back. Oh my God. All the antics are back. He almost pulled Steph Curry’s shoulder out of the socket once.” (JuJu, 04:23)
• Kevin Durant’s Night:
  • Durant misses a key free throw—rare for him—then is nearly bailed out by the referees ignoring his attempted timeout.
  • “He got bailed out from shame from the referees.” (Le, 05:10)
  • The whole crew agrees that refusing to call the timeout prevented embarrassment for Durant and a “blunder” on the season’s first night.
• OKC Fans Booing KD:
  • JuJu admonishes Thunder fans: “You don’t boo Kevin Durant when he comes back to OKC. OKC is cool because of Kevin Durant.” (JuJu, 05:52)

• Peacock & Hockey on Multi-Screen:
  • JuJu jokes about being forced to subscribe for basketball on Peacock: “Can't not get tip off. Ah. Log into Peacock. Oh, dang. I'm not locked in purchase. Okay, what's my password? Right, I did that.” (JuJu, 06:28)
  • Quick pivot to NHL: Brad Marchand’s “full spectrum” night for Boston—emotional send-off, a Florida goal, and Marchand fighting.
  • “My boy Marchand punching somebody in the kidneys... That gave you every spectrum of range of emotion.” (JuJu, 07:00)

3. Old-School Debates: The NCAA, G-Leaguers, and Tom Izzo’s Rant

  • “Trained and disciplined for three years and then all of a sudden you’re playing some pimple-nosed freshman.” (Stugotz, 08:17)

4. Hockey & Soccer: Timing and TV Oddities

• Hockey’s Clock Confusion:
  • The panel jokes about the end-of-game confusion in hockey and the hidden match time in soccer stadiums.
  • “At first I was on there, my brain broke.” (Chris, 09:21)
