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)

• 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)

  • Quick pivot to NHL: Brad Marchand’s “full spectrum” night for Boston—emotional send-off, a Florida goal, and Marchand fighting.

4. Hockey & Soccer: Timing and TV Oddities

  • “At first I was on there, my brain broke.” (Chris, 09:21)

Summary Tone & Spirit

The episode is a quintessential, chaotic blend of inside jokes, playful snark, and genuine sports nerd energy. Even as Greg Cody laments not getting enough promotional attention and the panel clowns everything from bus-to-plane airport shuttles to NHL hijinks, there’s warmth and camaraderie throughout. JuJu Gotti’s lively presence keeps the NBA focus energetic, while everyone else ensures no one topic stays serious—or sacred—for long.

For listeners craving witty banter, offbeat sports takes, and recurring Le Batard-verse gags, this one delivers.

[Dan Le Batard]

We'll get to Jujugatti and the polls in a second. But we have not promoted the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, the illustrious podcast of one Greg Cody. It's why he's checked out for the last 90 minutes in silent protest that we have not promoted his podcast. What is on the latest episode of the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody? And are you just going to ask your son the way you always do? Hey, what'd we do, kid, on the last episode?

[Greg Cody]

No, we only come out once a week. You know, we don't come out like nine times a day like some people. We come out once a week. So our podcast is the same me, same as it was Monday when I'm. When I was in. We have a Billy Gill tribute. We have the PPI expose, which include that purloined illegal recording of me where you say I need your support and then I sound like a US Senator.

[Chris Cote]

Lbj.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

That's what Vietnam. You sound hammered.

[Stugotz]

It really does sound like audio from Calvin Coolidge's age coming out of the transistor radio. It's on the back of a train. They're punching tickets on the back of the train and Cody's just doing a stump speech on the caboose.

[Greg Cody]

I need your support.

[Zaz]

The wiretap at the Watergate Hotel.

[Greg Cody]

That's true. It does sound like an old timey recording. I need your support.

[Chris Cote]

No big deal. In retrospect, totally commonplace bit of a hoax.

[Stugotz]

It's a tiny, a tiny town in a western city that got saloon doors and the train just pulled up with it. Stop it. Like the fourth candidate in the region got the red.

[Greg Cody]

I need Your support.

[Zaz]

It's got the red, white and blue banners on the back of the caboose.

[Chris Cote]

Got a whoever's saying it has a giant ribbon on their lapel top hat.

[Greg Cody]

That's right. You can hear the whole recording. Purloined recording. On my latest episode.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

And I love how my dad's like, you should hear my wife. What she says.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's way.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

It's like.

[Greg Cody]

No, it's funny.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

You go for the drunk Greg. The drunk Greg is the good stuff.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is that red, white and blue stuff called on the back of a truck? Is that bunting?

[Greg Cody]

Bunting.

[Dan Le Batard]

So it's just. Okay, so that's on the back of the truck.

[Chris Cote]

How weird is it baseball opening days. Like, look at the bunting. Which type.

[Greg Cody]

I need your support.

[Dan Le Batard]

Again. If you're not familiar with the context for that sound, it's not a train and it's not a stump speech in the 1920s.

[Stugotz]

It's a drunken Greg calling his wife.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

Calling me Le. And I don't answer and leaves me a voicemail thinking he's hung up. So he's talking to my mom and it's collusion and he's bitching about me.

[Greg Cody]

I need your support.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

I'm going to put a vote out there so I can punish Christopher for this.

[Greg Cody]

And I. I need your support. Damn right. Somebody's got to do it. I take my commissioner's job very seriously.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know that.

[Stugotz]

Why were you running out of breath there?

[Dan Le Batard]

I know that juju covers basketball very well on Alley OOP with Trista on all things Alley OOP for the Lebiton Friends Network. Surely last night you were happy to see the league come back. Juju. Welcome.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And matter of fact, who. What? This whole thing right here is great. It will be available soon on Levitar. AF.com get you one of these Kansas City Dan was wrong hoodies coming to a theater near you. Neither here nor there. One of you guys skipped one of the most beautiful things that happened last night. This guy was in witness protection. He had to stop a cup of coffee in Memphis. Had another couple cup of Joe in Washington D.C. but ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake about it. Marcus Smart is back. Oh, my God. All the antics are back. He almost pulled Steph Curry's shoulder out of the socket once. Said he didn't do anything. What did I do, ref? Not me. Vintage year for market smart income.

[Dan Le Batard]

What was the best stuff from last night for you? Kevin Durant took the blame for the okc lost. He missed a free throw you rarely see that from him.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

He got bailed out by the referee. He got bailed out from shame from the referees last night.

[Zaz]

We didn't talk about that at all.

[Juju]

Because he also called the timeout 100%. I mean, what you thought about that timeout?

[Zaz]

Not only did he call it with as Shakeles as Alexander said, he said it verbally. And he did the hand thing. He like he was going hard and just. I don't know whether the refs didn't see him.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

No, they saw.

[Zaz]

Or they saw him and they did him a solid of. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna call it.

[Greg Cody]

Yep.

[Juju]

Right. We can't have the. The first game of the year end like this. Even though it's a blunder by my boy, it can't end like this. And okay, see, Shame on you. You just let me know what you let me know last night.

[Dan Le Batard]

You.

[Juju]

You don't understand Liberty nor the. What is it, the Louisiana Purchase, nor the Boston Tea Party. You don't boo Kevin Durant when he comes back to okc. OKC is cool because of Kevin Durant, the person. One of the people who contributed to saving Earth, by the way, last summer with Steph Curry over in France. You don't boo that man. Get over yourself, okc. Congratulations, Juju.

[Zaz]

What about the theory that the game went to double overtime not because they wanted to do Kevin Durant a solid, but because NBC needed to sell more Peacock subscriptions?

[Juju]

Yeah, that was a good one because I found myself in that exact scenario. I'm like, dang, I can't because I got a three screen set up currently over here. So I was like, I 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. I also think sidebar, the hockey had a perfect night as well. Brad Marchand, because that was on screen number two last night, brother. That emotional send off that they gave him in the beginning of the game. For them to have that followed by an instant goal from Florida and then followed by my boy Marshan punching somebody in the kidneys like two minutes later, like full force. That gave you every spectrum of the range of emotion the Panthers gave you last night. Hats off to them for doing it right as well.

[Dan Le Batard]

Before we get to the polls, did you have any thoughts on Tom Izzo, old timey dinosaur? He's upset that G Leaguers are being allowed into the ncaa. Just making it all more and more professional.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. He says that I'M going to get myself in trouble. But I talk to people and about how kids change. Kids aren't the problem, we're the problem. Izzo told reporters Tuesday. This was sprung on us again yesterday where a guy can be in the league for two or three years and then all of a sudden he's eligible. Most people do nothing about it. He's not excited about it, yada, yada yada. I mean, he's upset. And I don't, I don't think he's necessarily too wrong about that because you give people the G League experience, then let them come back to people who fresh out of high school, bit of an advantage.

[Stugotz]

Slightly, I would say slightly to be trained and disciplined for three years in the professional ranks of the G League. And then all of a sudden you're playing some pimple nosed Frenchman who's, Who hasn't played but six minutes of high school basketball. Not exactly fair.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Also too chef's kiss. When you said earlier what would the team look like if they quit on tour, I was like, oh, there he is. Rare form. He was back when you said that one. You put it on Diana Taurasi. I mean, not Diana Tauras.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

Is that a fine.

[Zaz]

The Ron Gorgeous.

[Juju]

You put it on her though. Yeah, you put. Hey, yo, what's going on here?

[Chris Cote]

What are you doing?

[Juju]

Salute to the hockey as well. They did it right for, for messing up the clock at the end of the game because I had no way of knowing. So I had to unmute that one and put hockey on the number one screen just so I could see when the game was actually, it was like soccer.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

We'll just trust that the referee's and the announcers are like 27, 26.

[Chris Cote]

Before it was 305. It was 2 minutes and 65 seconds. At first I was on there, my brain broke.

[Zaz]

I just realized, Zaz, you're absolutely right. In soccer, we don't know. We just wait for the rep to call. And I've never thought twice about it.

[Chris Cote]

I believe him.

[Zaz]

And then hockey, you tell me in hockey, I'm like, no, how could you not know that?

[Stugotz]

The count, it is a fairly ridiculous thing that hockey, only one person running.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry, foot soccer. One person or a couple of people running around know how much time is left in the game.

[Chris Cote]

You know, you get to have the benefit of watching the minute count when you're watching a soccer broadcast on television. But when you're at the stadium, they purposely do not reveal that you're guessing with them because they don't want people jumping all over the officials.

[Zaz]

That is bullshit. All they do is just start whistling.

[Chris Cote]

Yeah, but the people naturally time it on their own phones and end up whistling. It doesn't really help. But that for whatever reason. Well, I. I guess I outlined one. But they choose to not show the people in attendance that that fact at.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lebiton show on the polls. What do you have for us, Juju?

[Juju]

Biggest star in Boston. Brad Marchand or Ray Bork. 51 of the audience says Ray Bork. Wow.

[Greg Cody]

Sorry. Pardon my tongue.

[Juju]

It's okay. Is there way too much time between the end of the 4 o' clock game and Sunday Night Football? 75 of the audience says yes, it is.

[Chris Cote]

No way you watch football night in.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

America to get that nice little thing.

[Chris Cote]

You get Jason Garrett.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

All of a sudden it's like he's lightning.

[Chris Cote]

Left turn.

[Juju]

I only think of Tony when I see Jason Garrett now moving forward.

[Chris Cote]

My guy.

[Juju]

Every time I see him I'm like, look at my boy. Have you ever bought a flight and ended up on a bus? 91% of the audience says no, they have not.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

It's ridiculous. It's called American Airlines.

[Dan Le Batard]

You didn't even tell us the best part of the story, which is they.

[Stugotz]

Took you to another airplane gate in the bus. Yeah.

[Chris Cote]

Went from terminal to terminal.

[Stugotz]

They were trying to trick you into thinking you were in a plane.

[Le Batard's Daughter (Le)]

Crazy.

[Greg Cody]

The bus should have big wings.

[Juju]

Last poll is Jeremy Tashay. The Chris Winningham of Pablo Torres.

[Stugotz]

That's wrong.

[Juju]

89% of the audience says, yes, he is. And those are your polls.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lebatardaf.com those are going to be big sellers there for juju. Also, check out the Greg Cody show featuring Cody and I need your support.

[Stugotz]
