  • Additional fines levied for making fun of Greg's suit's taste and a “mic left on” incident by JuJu during a prior interview.

• Technical Mishap:
  Discussion of audio issues during a Chuck Todd interview is traced to JuJu’s unmuted mic, not Chuck as previously presumed, resulting in more fines and group ribbing about accountability.

5. Quick Critique of Previous Show (12:22–13:29)

  Brief reflection on Bert Kreischer’s unapologetic self-love, and Dan muses about public personas and internal pain:

Transcript

[A]

All right. Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL. The world's number one vodka. Here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip. Again, Smirnoff belongs in that mix. Because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff. Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing this since 1864, which is. I don't even want to do the math. A long time. They're award winning, they make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So, yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should, too. Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Please drink responsibly. Smirnoff 21 vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.

[B]

As a scientist, I can tell you that Sundays are only 24 hours long. But with NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV, you get every game, every Sunday all in one place. That's upwards of 30 hours of NFL in one day. How can there be 30 hours in 24 hours, you ask? I have a theory. Magic. New users get NFL Sunday Ticket for eight payments of $34.50 per month. Sign up at NFLSundayTicket.com local and national games on YouTube TV. NFL Sunday Ticket for out of market games excludes digital only games and commercial use terms and embargoes apply. Availability varies.

[C]

I have not been able to get off me how bad that Jeremy Supes song was. It's been. The scent of that song has been on me. Jeremy, what happened there? Like, I don't know.

[D]

It was a good song.

[C]

It was a good song and it was funny.

[D]

Okay, it made you all laugh.

[C]

All right, well, but because it was bad, like, not because it was good.

[E]

I really like soup.

[D]

Okay, welcome to comedy Dan.

[C]

You ruined Stevie Wonder.

[D]

You told me to use less words.

[E]

I really like.

[D]

I used less words. Fewer words.

[C]

Fewer words.

[D]

I corrected myself fewer words by using more words.

[C]

Juju, I want to get to the polls in a second. I'm sure you're going to vigorously defend Greg Cody here today. And yesterday I caught a whole bunch of strays from you in the post game on levying a bunch of penalties. And fines my way. So what did I do wrong today? And what does the audience want to punish me for today?

[E]

Yes, sir. Fine. For trying to bully that man on his birthday, man. About the damn Dolphins. You can't go eight and nine without losing one man. Get off his back. It's been one week. Back off. That's all I'm here to say. Back off. Cause we finna start finding your behind and you gonna have to do these fines that the fans vote on asap.

[C]

Okay, I'm fine with that. But that's my only. That's the only place you find me today. I will cover for this last time on his birthday. Greg Cody's 21 dol in fines today, even though I'm the only one who actually pays the fines around here because none of you guys respect anything we're doing with the fine. And it's a big. It's a big funny joke. So what else am I being fined for today? This tone as well. 26 now. 26. What else am I fined for today?

[E]

But we gotta find Mike, bro. Like, $2, bro. It was hilarious, bruh. But you said that man's suit tastes like it was made in the damn forest, bruh. Like, come on, man, it's his birthday. The bell peppers should have been cut into strip and you know it. Thank you. Thank you, Juju. Great to feel the love and appreciation. Happy birthday, brother.

[C]

Hold on. Again.

[E]

Happy birthday to him. I don't care.

[C]

Good luck. We have solved the mystery. Pablo Torre found out. He actually wrote in that. The reason we were having all those problems during the Chuck Todd interview is because Juju was in his house with his. His mic unmuted and everything he was saying was. I. I didn't really. Yeah, everything he was saying was coming. I don't know what he was saying. I don't. I heard like, it sounded like a. A television in Chuck Todd's house. But what happened, Juju, you were just. You turned off your mute, man.

[E]

You know players mess ups too sometimes, man. I don't know what. What the hell happened? I was sitting here in the dark room the whole time, and then I got that scary notification. The scariest sound you would hear. The host has muted your mic. Wait, what? I'm so sorry. I should be penalized greatly. That's the ultimate offense. So, yeah, out of bounds on me, coach. So sorry, guys.

[C]

So what's the fine on that? I now own 20. I own $26 today for Greg Cody's birthday. What is the fine on Juju for having A live mic on without knowing he had a live mic on. That's a five dollar fine. We'll make it up as we go.

[D]

So I was technically right blaming Chuck.

[C]

Todd because it was coming from Zoom. Yeah. No, you were not right. No.

[D]

Because there was one time it was making the noise and I potted the Zoom down and I was like, oh, it went away. So I knew it was from Zoom.

[C]

It wasn't his zoom. It was. It was. We were. How could I know that? We accused Chuck Todd of it being his zoom. It was on our end.

[D]

The accountability from the Cody's today is wild.

[C]

You're in charge of all.

[E]

I was right.

[C]

I said it was from the zoom. Come on. Learn from juju off me, coach and move on. That's right. Be accountable for one thing. Do you have anything for us to celebrate Greg Cody today? Juju, you're one of his biggest fans. It is his birthday. He is leg legitimately seething like he's mad at us. So do you have a gift for him today?

[E]

Yes, sir. Man. I want to celebrate my big brother on his special day by making the top 10 Greg Cody moments in the.

[C]

History of the show. What? Top. Whoa. Okay. Wow.

[E]

Yes, sir. Oli. A plethora of hard networks outs, hard network outs that just lit up the entire globe, man. It was frustrating to you, brother, but it made us so happy to see you, Oli.

[C]

Including the tumor one, the best one ever done. The one that he was revealing that he had a tumor and then we clipped him all Oli crazy. All right.

[E]

Yep. Another Oli. You with your hands on your hips at the golf course looking like. Oh, great photo.

[C]

There's so much arrogance in that belly. Look at the amount of arrogance in that belly.

[E]

Right? And last, Oli discovering that you fried turkey barefoot big brother. I know that too, because I come to find out birth of a feather. Number 10, discovering that you when you were younger. You look a spitting image. Just like Tom Cruise, man. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

[C]

That is crazy.

[E]

This is great. Cody.

[C]

Crazy how much he looks like and when he was younger.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

It doesn't even make any sense.

[D]

Is it really?

[C]

Wow.

[D]

Our recent word. This is not a joke. That's great.

[E]

That's great.

[C]

That's no foul. Foul on the prowl. Yeah, that's Greg.

[E]

Yep. Number nine, Greg Cody in the Zardo's costume. Wow. Wow. Come on, man.

[D]

Packing.

[E]

You're welcome, ladies.

[C]

Yeah. Wow. That's. Everyone says wow. That is Greg Cody. That's a good look for Grant Cody. And he is indeed packing. I believe that's the same guy from the previous picture.

[E]

Wow. Number eight, the solo parade. When Mick overrated was actually overrated.

[C]

We haven't done a lot funnier than that.

[E]

Oh, my goodness. You was waving to Cynthia out there like I know you bit, bro. Oh, man. Number seven. Down goes Cody. Chris Cody. Caution, man.

[C]

This is a hell.

[E]

Oh, no.

[C]

This is. What an honor juju you've done for Greg Cody here putting together this collection. This is the greatest hits collection right here.

[E]

Yeah. Could have done without the video team, too. I didn't even send that in. They caught that, but, yeah. That's an embarrassing moment for you. Sorry to bring that back up, bro. Number six, Greg Cody auditions for the golden od. Look at the moves on my man.

[C]

Hey, I think I know what number one is. I think I know what number one.

[D]

Relax.

[E]

Oh, man. You don't know what it is, Daniel. Number five, Greg Cody does South Beat Sessions. Come on, man. Strong, big tear jerker, man. Like, my boy was vulnerable. He was a real man that whole episode. If you haven't checked it out, man, it's still up there. Go check it out today.

[C]

That was a nice one. That says that's his heartfelt moment I've had publicly with Greg Cody on that south beach session.

[E]

Yes, sir, man. Number four, the miracle in Fort Myers. First pitch, Greg Cody throws it out. Yes, sir, man. That was a great day, man, to see you out there. And then you messed up, buddy name incasi in casion. That was such a great day, man. Bloody won the car and I said section we had to give it away. It was good to see you out there, man. The people just adoring you and loving you, man. It's good to see you in that element bit, brother. Number three, when you were singing 1440 in the garage. Come on, man. Heartfelt. My boy meant every word he said in that garage right there. Look at him. My cigar days.

[C]

You sampled the juju?

[E]

Yeah, I did sample it. I put it on my album. Yeah. Dark nights. Yep. Yes, sir. Available.

[C]

You were ahead, juju. You were ahead of the curve of merching, merging hip hop and country. Now everybody's doing that, right?

[E]

I should have hit Billy Ray, asked him whose balls were juiced, number three or number two? You coming out in New York City singing Zion, New York, New York.

[C]

That was good. And I know what number one is. And unfortunately, it includes Jeremy.

[E]

Yes. Number one, man. The best moment, seeing my big brother up there on that stage in Las Vegas, Nevada. The he haw3. Man, what a day, man. What a moment. I feel like this is. I was watching something that I couldn't believe I was watching.

[C]

Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Greg. Cody. Not everybody has that kind of top 10 list on our show. Congratulations.

[E]

I really appreciate you, Juju. Thank you very much.

[C]

Before you get out of here, Juju, can you tell us how disgusted you were? You're in general disgusted by the hygiene of most men in our environment. And I'm assuming you're disgusted by baseball finger lickers.

[E]

Oh, my goodness, bro. I seen the video this week. It reminded me of one person in the history of the world, my brother Jeremy. Tashay. Looking at this man go after his fingers, I was like, I've seen that before. Video team, if you have that video. I was like, man, come on, dog. What are you doing to yourself at this baseball game? It's too many. It's kids everywhere, women there. Just take a break on the fingers, brother.

[D]

To his defense, maybe he had Cheetos or salt and vinegar chips or something like that and didn't have a napkin around and maybe just needed to get better pals.

[C]

The couple of things that I want to get to before we get out of here, I want to tell people, find Juju and Trista, wherever it is on our network, it is you wish to find them because they've got very good chemistry and it's a fun show that they do. Alley oop. Jeremy, before we get out of here, no time for polls today. We're running long. Can you give us a critique please of yesterday's show? You were not here yesterday. I regret doing this given that we've just asked you for fewer words, not more of them. But I do want to critique yesterday's show so that I can put a bow on what it is that we've done this week. What were your criticisms from yesterday's show? Thank you, Juju. Good seeing you.

[E]

Yes, sir. Thank you.

[D]

Your disagreement with Tony that to a not being concussed was the best play of the weekend for the Dolphins. It absolutely was. You did a good job on Tyree Kill Dan. Glad we're cool to rip a guy for his off field stuff. Now you guys said nobody thinks biting is cool. Some people do, baby. You guys blew by. Diana Rossini suggesting a great segment. Her rotten egg of the week. And Dan, you're always looking for something creative and different, something we could do Weekly. You suggested 30 seconds of Ray Hudson today. Just blew right by it. Great idea. Let's see, let's do that one Criticizing the kick of the guy with the prosthetic leg is the most sports radio shit Chris Cody has ever done. It was unbelievable. Lucy knows a lot about college football, huh? Like, more than any of us know about anything in our lives. Yeah, she was also, like seven years old when the Mike Gundy thing happened. And you guys were referencing it like it was modern times for her, but has it memorized. And also, I aspire to ever reach a place where I love myself the way that Bert Kreischer does. It's truly unbelievable and admirable.

[C]

Oh, you know what's funny about that? I feel like he's always wearing a costume there, that he's hiding something. That's deeply. Aren't we all deeply hurt, man? He's getting a lot of hate on the Internet and he's hurting in a way, publicly. Like, people have seen it. And that's. I. I went down that path with him and he just cut me off because I'm the grief eater.

[E]

Happy birthday from me to me. Happy birthday from me to me. Woo.

[C]

Happy birthday. We love you, Cody. Happy birthday, Owen, you old testa poniendo viejo.
