1. Female Umpire’s Controversial Strike Call
Duration: 02:00 – 05:00

The hosts delve into the recent involvement of a female umpire in a Major League Baseball (MLB) game between the Marlins and Braves. The discussion centers around her call of a first pitch, which many viewers found contentious.

• Stugotz (02:02): "Marines and Braves. Marlins lost four out of five. They're done. They're done with Billy. I'm sorry, Marlins."
• Chris Cody (02:15): "Someone out here said, probably accurately, they did their job ... they got us to football season."

The group debates whether this event truly marks a significant breakthrough for gender barriers in baseball, comparing MLB’s progress to that of the NBA and NFL, which have had female officials for years.

• Greg Cody (04:01): "What we should not have been celebrating was MLB for quote, unquote, breaking the gender barrier. It's about time the NBA had a female referee 28 years ago. The NFL has had female referees or officials for 10 years. MLB is just catching up."

2. Umpire’s Strike Zone Standardization Debate
Duration: 05:00 – 08:00

The conversation shifts to the consistency of strike zones among umpires and the implementation of technology to assist in making more accurate calls.

• Stugotz (05:46): "Don't. It was close."
• Greg Cody (05:58): "I would expand the strike zone. If I were an umpire, I would call almost everything a strike ... swing the bat, Jack."

They critique the current system where strike zones vary by umpire and express nostalgia for the times when umpires dictated their own zones without technological aids.

Stugotz opens up about his struggles with vertigo, a condition that began before the COVID-19 pandemic. He describes how it affects his daily life and interactions.

• Stugotz (09:00): "I first started suffering from it. It was about … right before COVID ... five and a half years."
• Dan LeBatard (09:16): "You won't get up and find my wallet ..."

Stugotz explains the challenges of managing episodes that can severely impact his balance and mobility, sharing humorous anecdotes about navigating daily tasks despite his condition.

4. Sex Shops and Dildos in CVS
Duration: 14:00 – 26:00

A lively segment where the hosts discuss the increasing presence of sex toys, particularly dildos, in mainstream retail stores like CVS. They explore societal reactions, stigma, and the normalization of such products in everyday shopping environments.

• Greg Cody (14:10): "We did the monkey. We ... journey to a sex shop."
• Dan LeBatard (12:38): "Can I quote something that won't give anything away?"

The conversation includes humorous banter about locating these products in stores, the awkwardness of purchasing them in public aisles, and comparisons to specialized adult stores. They also touch upon recent policies in the WNBA regarding merchandise.

Duration: 26:00 – 45:00

The hosts transition to discussing recent movie releases, focusing on the horror thriller "Weapons." They share their impressions, plot theories, and personal reactions without delving into spoilers.

• Mike Ryan (35:36): "I gotta know why they're running out into the street at 2:17am."

They compare "Weapons" to other horror films, praising its suspense over gore and its unexpected humor elements. The discussion also branches into mentions of other movies like "Happy Gilmore" and "Inglourious Basterds," analyzing memorable opening scenes and character performances.

• Dan LeBatard (37:06): "Would it be giving anything away if you told us what you thought the children running away would be?"

[Dan LeBatard]

Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show?

[Stugotz]

The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast? I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

[Dan LeBatard]

In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.

[Mike Ryan]

I've done it.

[Stugotz]

And now here's the marching man to.

[Dan LeBatard]

Nowhere, Fat Face and the Habitual Liar.

[Mike Ryan]

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Stugotz]

So there was a female umpire this weekend.

[Greg Cody]

How about that?

[Stugotz]

Marlins and Braves. Marlins lost four out of five. That's right. They played five games this weekend. Marlins and Braves. They lost four out of five. They're done. They're done with Billy. I'm sorry, Marlins.

[Chris Cody]

It was a nice run. Someone out here said, probably accurately, they did their job. They got us to football season. The sentence was, they did their job. They got us from the Panthers to the Dolphins. That's a crazy sentence. But that's what they did. They, you know, got us through football.

[Stugotz]

Is it still a crazy sentence? The Marlins have been in three straight Stanley Cup Finals. Like, I don't know that it's a crazy sentence.

[Chris Cody]

Marlins Being three would be crazy.

[Stugotz]

Why would the Marlins ever go to three straight Stanley Cup Finals?

[Chris Cody]

I don't know.

[Greg Cody]

I don't know.

[Chris Cody]

But had they. It'd be wild.

[Stugotz]

It's not that crazy a thing to say.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hosting a hockey game next year.

[Stugotz]

So did you see the.

[Roy]

What the Internet was having fun with on Saturday, she does her first home plate game. She did the. I believe Friday she did first baseball. Saturday, first home plate game. First pitch. You see it being put out. Here is the first pitch with a woman behind the plate. It was a ball. She called it a strike.

[Greg Cody]

There you go.

[Mike Ryan]

Wasn't even close to.

[Roy]

Which is not an indictment on her.

[Stugotz]

Should do an Eric Greg impersonation.

[Roy]

This is not an indictment on her. Men have been missing these calls for years, decades.

[Dan LeBatard]

It was a good frame.

[Chris Cody]

It just. It didn't go well because the commentary was a historic moment. This is a ball that's going to go to Cooperstown. And then it was like a miss. And then all the. All the comments were calling her Angela Hernandez question.

[Stugotz]

That's good. That's good.

[Roy]

But this is not an indictment on her. This is what we should have been celebrating this weekend is the first robot umpire. Okay. Where this doesn't happen anymore, but we're about 25 years behind.

[Mike Ryan]

That's baseball.

[Roy]

We're going to do women first and then we'll celebrate robots in a couple of years.

[Greg Cody]

What we should not have been celebrating was MLB for quote, unquote, breaking the gender barrier. It's about time the NBA had a female referee 28 years ago. The NFL has had female referees or officials for 10 years. MLB is just catching up.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, that's the thing that my first thought when I saw the story was I thought we did this already. I thought baseball already had women umpired, but I guess we didn't. My question on the first pitch. Don't those types of historic moments, aren't they always supposed to be strikes?

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like the first pitch for a team like Charlie Huff.

[Roy]

Right.

[Stugotz]

Charlie Huff. That pitch was so outsourced, they're supposed.

[Dan LeBatard]

To have a pitcher groove that thing in there. And of course, the ump calls a strike. I think that's what that was.

[Roy]

She's saying anything close. She's like, if it's. If it's close, it's a strike. But it wasn't close.

[Dan LeBatard]

Same page.

[Stugotz]

Don't. It was close.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's going to be a strike. And he was just slightly off the plate.

[Roy]

That was a tough pitch to call. We can all like, like, I'm not Critic like that. A lot of umpires missed that call.

[Stugotz]

Whatever happened to the days of the umpire dictates their strike zone for the game?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Every umpire has a different strike. I, I don't like the, the square that's superimposed.

[Roy]

I like it if they're going to use it. I hate it where it doesn't mean anything.

[Greg Cody]

It doesn't.

[Roy]

It's me. A box that doesn't mean anything.

[Chris Cody]

They don't see it, Chris. No, I know it's not. They can't use it. They're calling it as they see it.

[Roy]

The league could. The league could be using the box.

[Mike Ryan]

I fell out of touch with the sport before this box was a thing. And I remember baked into the sport was so and so is behind home plate today usually goes with a larger strike.

[Roy]

This guy's got a wide zone, this guy's got a high zone.

[Mike Ryan]

Woven into the fabric of the game was like, ah. This guy calls the game a little bit different. You got to adjust.

[Chris Cody]

I didn't want to know, pitch by pitch, how off or how accurate they were. Like, if it's, if it's a marlin that's striking out looking. I'm like, that's inside. That's not a strike. Then when the squares there and they're like, oh, that was a strike. I'm like, no, I wasn't. I don't, I don't want to see that.

[Dan LeBatard]

And then you look at the square itself, Greg, it doesn't look like it gets to all the edges. It looks like it's visually tricking me so that if something's outside of the box on tv, it could still be in what I consider the strike zone.

[Chris Cody]

Well, like baseball, also center field, it's, you know, slightly off.

[Dan LeBatard]

So which is why we.

[Greg Cody]

I would expand the strike zone. If I were an umpire, I would call almost everything a strike. Unless it's in the dirt, unless it brushes you back. I would say to the batter, so.

[Roy]

You'D be a Little League umpire.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. Get that bat off your shoulders.

[Greg Cody]

I would say swing the bat. I would say that to every ballplayer who stepped into my, into my. Go ahead, plate. Bring it. You know, I'm going to call strikes. Swing that bat, Jack. You know, that's what I would say.

[Chris Cody]

Did you, did you ever umpire, like youth?

[Greg Cody]

I have.

[Chris Cody]

And would you say that to the kids? Would you let them know, hey, I'm calling it today?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. You know, I, I let the coaches know that I like slide. I like a big. I like a big, big Strike. Strike zone.

[Roy]

You used to umpire.

[Greg Cody]

Maybe I was thinking of you. Yeah.

[Roy]

Like you used to call my balls and strikes, like out in the front yard.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Stugotz]

Okay, so hold on a second. Let's revisit this for a second. Not only was, if you want to say he misremembered, Lied. Misremembered, whatever, but he also imagined a scenario where he told the coaches before the game, I'm, you know, let's turn the back.

[Greg Cody]

It's hypothetical.

[Roy]

I played travel. You're thinking of, like my games where you would hear that said.

[Greg Cody]

Right?

[Roy]

You've heard that said. You didn't say it. As an umpire, I'm starting to wonder.

[Chris Cody]

If you've ever spoken to Tim Bowens.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

Because in Greg's mind, clearly he's. He's imagining being this umpire.

[Roy]

You thought you saw the.

[Dan LeBatard]

Somewhere as time passed, he thought it ended up being a true story. And now he's like, wait a second, I never umpired.

[Greg Cody]

That's true. Yeah. But you umpired.

[Roy]

I did.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

And would you tell the coaches, hey.

[Roy]

I know in my dad's defense.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Roy]

Two little league kids at the beginning. I'm like, if it's close, it's a strike. Like, let's go. We're up here to hit. Not one.

[Greg Cody]

Yes. Thank you.

[Roy]

But that's a clear little league thing that you don't do in the majors because the majors are the majors.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. If I was an umpire, I would take it upon myself to speed up the game. Like, I would want at bats to go very.

[Roy]

Getting hot again. You're getting sweaty.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Oh, now, now both of his lenses are fogging up.

[Greg Cody]

You know what I need? I need one of those things that are. Are made to defog glasses. You know, I don't know what the. The product is.

[Stugotz]

Defoggers getting worked up in here.

[Greg Cody]

Well, plus, I'm in. I got a long sleeve shirt. I got a. A T shirt on.

[Roy]

Bad arm week, you know, And.

[Greg Cody]

And also it's perpetually warm in here. Like, I don't think the Levitard show is paying the rent. I don't think they are.

[Mike Ryan]

I can assure you. I would say that the AC has been cooking a little bit lately.

[Greg Cody]

Like.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, no, no. In a good way.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Like you didn't have your glasses fog up when we actually had AC issues. Right now it's very comfortable.

[Chris Cody]

Well, in there, though, there's also like a vent if you look up that is specifically just for Dan. Like the rest of the room. Yeah, look up. There's like an air Duct right above.

[Stugotz]

I can't really do that.

[Mike Ryan]

He is struggling.

[Stugotz]

I. I suffer from vertigo.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, you can't look up and you.

[Stugotz]

Know, movements like that.

[Chris Cody]

Do you really Adam McCamer slowly.

[Mike Ryan]

What would happen? Would you fall back?

[Stugotz]

Oh, there it is. Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

You would fall backwards.

[Roy]

What other things like that can't you do?

[Stugotz]

Like I can't move my head side to side very fast. Look left. Look like, like I would. It would really.

[Dan LeBatard]

You can't do a little spin. Arama. Does that get you going too?

[Chris Cody]

So you have like a neck brace, like an invisible neck brace on, basically.

[Stugotz]

I mean, not really. Like you guys haven't noticed. If I had a neck brace, you would know that I had a neck brace. You haven't noticed.

[Chris Cody]

But I'm saying you can't, you can't. Like if you turn, you'd have to body. You can't just turn.

[Stugotz]

I just go slowly.

[Roy]

Figured out.

[Stugotz]

I just got to go slowly. Like I go look to my left here. It's got to go slowly. That's all.

[Roy]

Turn your whole body. It seemed Michael Keaton.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, neck mobility.

[Stugotz]

That's right. A little bit, yeah.

[Chris Cody]

How long has this been going on?

[Stugotz]

I first started suffering from it. It was about. It was right before COVID So like five and a half years.

[Dan LeBatard]

And what happens? You like get really dizzy and fall down.

[Stugotz]

I mean, if. If I have a full on attack, which I did that time, I can, I can have trouble walking where I'll.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like Liza Minnelli and Arrested Development. You're like the disease.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

It's crazy when things just happen out of nowhere too.

[Stugotz]

It's getting old.

[Mike Ryan]

I ran to a CVS not just to listen to music this time, but to also get eyedrops because I'm like, I guess I'm. I'm needing eye drop guy now.

[Stugotz]

Listen to music.

[Roy]

I've been that guy so many times, like tapping my foot. Look at which eye drops am I getting.

[Stugotz]

Where the hell am I going? I walked into Publix yesterday. I sent Mike Ryan a text message. I go, hey man, you want to guess what songs playing right now?

[Mike Ryan]

I guessed.

[Stugotz]

Chris, you want to guess what song I walked in yesterday? I walked into Publix.

[Dan LeBatard]

I have a guess.

[Stugotz]

They had the soundtrack on, man. What song? Israel.

[Dan LeBatard]

Is it Natasha Bedingfield?

[Mike Ryan]

No, I guess Michelle Branch. I was off. But then when you hear it, you're like, ah. How did I not guess this one song out of all the other songs ever made?

[Stugotz]

Very close. Matchbox 23am oh, wow.

[Greg Cody]

Good song.

[Stugotz]

Very close.

[Dan LeBatard]

Greg, did your glasses fog up when you walked into the sex store with your son?

[Greg Cody]

Whoa, whoa.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm sorry, what?

[Stugotz]

Whoa.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, has everybody not listened to the Greg Cody show?

[Stugotz]

Can you repeat that line, please?

[Mike Ryan]

Not yet.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I don't want to give too much away. You know, I don't want to step on. On the punch lines of my own show, which just dropped a couple of hours ago, so I encourage people to listen to it. But Christopher and I did make a trip to a mega store that refers to itself as an adult entertainment store.

[Roy]

I'll reveal that my dad tricked me late last week. He's like, hey, you want to go to lunch? I went to his house, I got in his car, and he's like, it's late for lunch. We're going to a sex shop.

[Chris Cody]

Wait, what's a mega store?

[Greg Cody]

It's like the size of a supermarket. Like, it's a gigantic.

[Dan LeBatard]

So much sex.

[Roy]

Like the target of. Yeah, risque things.

[Stugotz]

Sex toy shop.

[Chris Cody]

I heard you're throwing does at the park yesterday. Is that true?

[Greg Cody]

No, no, no, no. We decided.

[Roy]

Well, that's. Once again, now you're giving away.

[Chris Cody]

Don't give away.

[Roy]

My dad wanted to not make light. Trust me, we do plenty of saying this is not right. We do plenty of caveats. My dad wanted to say this is what people should be doing with dildos. What they're doing is throwing them at arenas. You know what? Here at the Great Cody show, we're gonna give you something that you should be doing whether. Whether we actually should be doing what he wanted to do. You're gonna have to tune in and find out.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, but, but there, you know, there's a, you know, use a. You use a sex toy for personal pleasure or group pleasure or tossing, you know, for distance.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can I, can I quote? First of all, it's always jarring when you hear your name out of the blue, like in a podcast. And so I was referenced twice in this particular podcast, which was a little jarring. Spoiler alert. Can I quote something that won't give anything away?

[Greg Cody]

Sure.

[Dan LeBatard]

Greg said he was going to quote, look for, quote, a decent sized classic looking dildo.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Dan LeBatard]

So I just want your description on what is decent size and what is classic looking.

[Mike Ryan]

Great question, Izzy.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, by. By classic, I mean something that looks like what it's presenting. Cut.

[Dan LeBatard]

Classic how? Because when I look at, like, old paintings, for example, it looks like they are not circumcised. But today you would call classic penis circumcised. So in your mind, which penis is Classic.

[Mike Ryan]

Can I go first?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Mike Ryan]

I think you're thinking about the classic replica. Flesh colored vascular Erect.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Roy]

Aren't they all erect?

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, that. That's implied flaps.

[Dan LeBatard]

One of those things around. I think it's a little misleading.

[Greg Cody]

That would be funny. A flaccid dildo.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, okay, now the most important part.

[Greg Cody]

That's what it is.

[Dan LeBatard]

Being the size. I think we're just right.

[Roy]

All right, let's probably take those.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. In the edit. Can we not do that?

[Greg Cody]

You want something that's a little larger than life, whose judgment does look like awards.

[Chris Cody]

Like specific.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like, what is larger than life? Like six inches, seven inches?

[Greg Cody]

Probably more like eight. Nine.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay.

[Stugotz]

And nine.

[Greg Cody]

And here's the other point I want to make. The. The sex toys quote, unquote, that have been tossed on the WNBA courts. It's all a ruse with this cryptocurrency company or whatever.

[Stugotz]

Cryptozo real.

[Greg Cody]

But they're green. I don't want a green dildo.

[Chris Cody]

I feel like green is better than one that looks realistic.

[Roy]

Preferred color.

[Greg Cody]

I want a flesh tone.

[Chris Cody]

But like a flesh tone one.

[Greg Cody]

I feel like it's white or black. I, you know. You know, I want a dildo that. That looks like what it's representing.

[Dan LeBatard]

So purple maybe.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Not really.

[Roy]

So we do that and we do. And my dad. We figure out if my dad can do the monkey.

[Chris Cody]

Wait, so you went shopping?

[Greg Cody]

We did the monkey. We.

[Roy]

We journey to a sex shop. You're gonna have to tune in to find out whether we. How far we make it in there. What happens? Just. You're gonna have to tune in.

[Dan LeBatard]

Also did it in a muscle car, by the way. I've always been like, you know what? I should do some sort of, like, gay themed podcast. You straight guys have got that covered. Like dad and son going to the gay shop, buying dildos. I'm good. I don't need to do a podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

That's high praise.

[Izzy]

Like there's a teal Marlins hat that's been calling to me for like two and a half years that I'm constantly getting advertisements for is something eventually I'll purchase because I keep those things in the cart.

[Stugotz]

Don LeBatard.

[Greg Cody]

What do we got here? I got a Magnum condom. We won't get that out.

[Mike Ryan]

That's shock stugats.

[Greg Cody]

Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right next to the condo.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Never forget it.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan lebatar show with the stugats. I'll tell you, I, I feel like in the history of Father Son podcast, you guys may have pulled something off that has never been done.

[Roy]

That's why I was, I, I had.

[Chris Cody]

Some pride doing it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Did it in a muscle card.

[Stugotz]

Like, I don't know if the goal, like are doing that.

[Mike Ryan]

Can we put in a request for the goal, like to do that?

[Greg Cody]

That would be great.

[Chris Cody]

Do they think you were like, together?

[Mike Ryan]

Can and his son do this?

[Roy]

Tune in to find out it's a father something. Because I will admit we could have been a couple. We didn't want to, you know, privacy stuff.

[Greg Cody]

We do.

[Roy]

The video is on the way there. It's all video, but we go just audio for into the sex shop.

[Chris Cody]

If, if, you know, forgive, obviously this hypothetical. If something were to happen to your, your dear wife, you know, and then you were to date younger, would Chris be your type?

[Greg Cody]

I. I could see me dating younger.

[Chris Cody]

No, but like Chris specifically, would Chris be your type?

[Stugotz]

You know, soda body.

[Roy]

Why'd you look over at me as if to, like, assess?

[Greg Cody]

I don't know how to answer that.

[Chris Cody]

I'm just kind of saying, like. And then you went and you, like, were a couple. Would this be like a realistic coupling for you?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I could see myself dating a man.

[Chris Cody]

But like Chris type.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Roy]

I feel like he's answered enough.

[Greg Cody]

I don't like I don't like a beard. No, No, I don't like a.

[Chris Cody]

He doesn't. Christopher doesn't like to shave for some reason. He only shaves above his lip. I've noticed.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, I have a beard now because I'm an adult.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Roy]

I shave my neck.

[Dan LeBatard]

Seeing those two go in a place together where you were assume they were together is no weirder than Bill and Jordan. I guess they're not the Belichicks, but I don't know her last name. Them going out in public somewhere. Right.

[Roy]

My dad was caught up on heated because I did not want to go in with my dad. I'm like, you take the phone.

[Chris Cody]

So he wouldn't your type if you went older.

[Roy]

My dad was afraid to walk in there alone. He wanted me with him.

[Greg Cody]

Well, of course I. I would have felt self conscious walking.

[Stugotz]

Is that because, like, if you were recognized, like, what's Greg Cody? At least if someone's. If Chris is with you, it's like, oh, this is obviously a bit.

[Chris Cody]

You should have worn a mask. Like just. Just the eye mask. You know, an eye mask like a robin Sweat.

[Stugotz]

He's sweating again.

[Mike Ryan]

You could do a surgical mask too. Oh, he's older.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Susceptible to Covid. Did you walk in and say, where are the dildos?

[Roy]

That's why we did it.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Like, I know when I go into a store, the last thing I'm doing is asking for help. I'll find what I need.

[Greg Cody]

I agree with you.

[Stugotz]

All right.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

I'm a man. I could do it on my own.

[Greg Cody]

I agree.

[Stugotz]

So what's. When you go into all the poor.

[Dan LeBatard]

Women asking for help at the sex store?

[Stugotz]

Well, I'm not judging. I'm just telling you from a man perspective. I don't ask for help. I don't ask for directions. I know exactly where the dildos are. I don't need help. But how long do you wait in the sex shop to ask for the dildo?

[Greg Cody]

Well, you don't want to be seen as leisurely browsing in a place like that. You want to do your business. You want to get. Get to the cash in and out.

[Dan LeBatard]

No pun intended.

[Chris Cody]

I feel like the people in there wouldn't be judgmental of you. Like, it's just in your head. Like, you guys are all there for the same reason. It's not like you're. You know, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but you mentioned like the cvs. Like cvs. I mean, you just walk down the aisles, you look around, you're like, whoa. Like, okay, this is not what you thought that they would sell at CVS anymore. It's just there, like, on the shelves. You walk past, go down the wrong aisle looking for some Advil, and then all of a sudden, does everywhere.

[Stugotz]

It does.

[Chris Cody]

You look around.

[Roy]

It does seem Target too. The recent dildos being thrown on sporting course, you see them more. You can find those easier now at cvs. They're in more prominent spots.

[Chris Cody]

So, like there, if you're walking around and someone sees you like it, you know, you're doing school supply shopping, all of a sudden someone walks by like.

[Greg Cody]

Greg, what are you.

[Chris Cody]

What are you doing in this section? It's different than if you're at a, you know, adult store that everybody's looking for does there.

[Greg Cody]

I want to make sure I just heard something correctly. You can walk into a CVS drugstore and buy a dough.

[Roy]

We didn't even have to go all.

[Stugotz]

The way where we went.

[Greg Cody]

That's crazy.

[Stugotz]

Is it?

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I knew that you could buy like, like condoms.

[Roy]

It's in the pharmacy.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it's in the pharmacy right next to the condoms.

[Greg Cody]

No way.

[Chris Cody]

No, it's just in the aisles. Not even in the pharmacy.

[Greg Cody]

I thought you guys were kidding.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's under eat location.

[Chris Cody]

Look, next break, walk over to the CVS down there. And I'm sure you could find. If you.

[Stugotz]

I will ask them which aisle are the does.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I will.

[Roy]

We'll bring a live view camera.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. I mean, it's, It's. It's crazy. Do they have a good variety, though, or just, like, gonna learn? Probably.

[Chris Cody]

Maybe it depends on the size of the. The store.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, you know, size of the store.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I've noticed, like, the. The pharmacies in, you know, like when we worked at the beach and here, like in downtown, they're more like just meat and potatoes type pharmacies, you know, like downtown.

[Roy]

Selection of anything, any CVS or Walgreens in a downtown stinks.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Roy]

I'll say it.

[Chris Cody]

There's a Target here. Honestly, I'm kind of wondering if that Target sucks or not because, like, the Target on the beach. I know, no offense, if you work at that Target or any Target that tart kind of sucks, it's not big enough. You want, like, a lot of square footage. And when they kind of. When they put them in, like, more compact, like, downtown settings, they're not the best versions of the stores.

[Dan LeBatard]

Greg, I can tell you sort of the evolution of how we got to doze at the CVS's or in regular Drugstores, please. If you go to any supermarket in the produce section, cucumbers. It's been largely the go to for people way back in the day.

[Roy]

Or carrots.

[Dan LeBatard]

I think people carrots. Little, small, little rough.

[Greg Cody]

How about zucchini?

[Dan LeBatard]

Jagged on the wrong edge.

[Roy]

Each their own zucchini.

[Dan LeBatard]

Little software. It doesn't really work as well.

[Chris Cody]

And so what about an eggplant? Because that's like the emoji.

[Roy]

Good for you.

[Dan LeBatard]

Eggplants.

[Chris Cody]

Small, little, large eggplants seem impractical.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, they should be firmer if they're going to be that large. Otherwise.

[Roy]

Roy has thoughts.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, Roy has something to go for it. Roy. Yeah. The problem with the CVS pharmacy situation is the pharmacy line is right there running past this section where the condoms and the sex toys are.

[Chris Cody]

That's why Roy, that's why Roy goes to the store for the doughs because everybody's there shopping for does. And there's no judgment when Roy goes to CVS to get his dose.

[Mike Ryan]

People like Roy, this is going on. This has gone on way too long. No, listen, there are not does at a cvs.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, there are personal massage right now.

[Dan LeBatard]

Definitely cucumbers at a publix vibrator.

[Roy]

Roy, you're the arbiter on this.

[Mike Ryan]

They, they have actual sex toys or just personal massagers that everyone knows that that's what it's done. Personal massagers.

[Roy]

So you've heard.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, personal massagers. But are they phallic shaped?

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

This is insane. And why haven't I gotten the invite to this cvs? I can only imagine every cvs.

[Chris Cody]

No way, no way. I'm telling you, I don't watch that CVS Right down, put it on the poll.

[Roy]

Are there doughs at cvs?

[Dan LeBatard]

Where is the line? I mean since I was a child I go to cvs. I see all the jellies and you know, other types of. It's like, why is other sex related items.

[Stugotz]

You were thinking that as a child. As a child and I gotta wait.

[Mike Ryan]

In line over here standing with Claire and she's over here like, what is that?

[Greg Cody]

I'm like, yeah, that's crazy.

[Mike Ryan]

This I cannot.

[Chris Cody]

Can we all like, do we have the capabilities for all of us to go as a show, just walk down the street and just broadcast all of us live from there or someone has to stay behind.

[Stugotz]

I mean my guess is it's, it's tough to set that up mid show. I mean I'm kind of new around here.

[Roy]

I'm finding does they have does this walk?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, at least they're packaged.

[Roy]

And vibrators.

[Greg Cody]

At least they're packaged, though, you know, they're not. They are.

[Roy]

They're not. They're not dangling. Very phallic.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

You don't want to be walking down the aisle like, one fell to the floor. And so, yeah. Excuse me. A pickup, you know?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Apparently a recent phenomenon.

[Stugotz]

Interesting.

[Mike Ryan]

This is crazy.

[Stugotz]

How do you think that board meeting went when the, you know, the CVS execs are like, you know, you don't think we need to start stocking on shelves?

[Roy]

Somebody in the meeting was like, mike. And they're like, no. Everyone else is like, it's good business.

[Chris Cody]

Covid was like, the great reset. Like, everyone just forgot everything that happened before. So, like, after, it's like, wow. I guess this has just always been the case with everything.

[Stugotz]

Did we. Of course, you know, the reason, if somehow you have forgotten, the reason that the does are in the conversation is because of what has happened in the WNBA over the last couple of weeks. Did we have any incidents over the weekend? You know, football, football, preseason football, felt like it was front and center. I didn't see any headlines about any does in WNBA preseason games and WNBA gray season games this weekend.

[Dan LeBatard]

I haven't seen any either. Maybe I was distracted. Shador Sanders. Other things happened, but it's possible, as Chris mentioned, some of them sold out, so we don't have enough to go around.

[Roy]

The love Buzz is sold out at CVS right now.

[Stugotz]

I did see that Piers Morgan fell for an NBA sent out tweets this weekend that NBA sent out, put out that WNBA arenas are installing nets.

[Mike Ryan]

Like a hockey ring.

[Greg Cody]

Funny.

[Stugotz]

So that you can't throw the dose. And Piers Morgan fell for it.

[Dan LeBatard]

My favorite meme regarding this story is when the WNBA announced no bag policy. And the meme was, I know what I have to do. I just don't know if I have the strength to do it.

[Stugotz]

So, guys, it doesn't take that much drink. I have something very important to tell you. All right. As you may know, there was a movie that came out this weekend.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, did you find out why the kids keep leaving the rooms?

[Stugotz]

I know why the kids ran into the streets in the middle of the night at 2:17am Greg Cody, do you know why?

[Greg Cody]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Stugotz]

The movie Weapons came out this weekend. New horror movie Weapons. That's the movie where they show you in the previews. The kids are running into the streets. They're leaving their homes unprovoked. And. And they're running out all at the same time.

[Dan LeBatard]

What's the last Preview you saw?

[Stugotz]

2:17Am and they disappear to never return. That's the movie. I had to find out why they are running out of like. Do you remember the last time you watched a movie trailer and you're like. Like the trailer works for perfection. Where I have to know what.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't think he actually does. Remember the last time you saw a movie trailer, full stop.

[Greg Cody]

No, I don't. I don't. My wife talked me into watching Happy Gilmore.

[Roy]

It's not a trailer.

[Greg Cody]

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Whoa. Awful.

[Stugotz]

You don't.

[Roy]

You couldn't name one thing about the first one, though.

[Greg Cody]

I like the first, but it's all paying respect. First one was great.

[Roy]

What's the bad guy's name in the first one?

[Greg Cody]

You know, the. The. The guy there. What's his name? Darth Mc. I forget.

[Roy]

Gesturing. I'm gesturing.

[Stugotz]

Shooter.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, shooter McGavin. Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Thanks.

[Mike Ryan]

Ass.

[Stugotz]

Of course, I like.

[Greg Cody]

He was going to get it, but the finger gun gave me a hint, so.

[Stugotz]

So you don't remember? I forget about the trailer. You don't remember the last time that you heard a movie was coming out? Maybe. Like, I. I have to know what happens.

[Greg Cody]

We saw the Rocket man, the Elton John biopic.

[Stugotz]

You don't know what happened to Elton John. Like, it's a true story. He's alive.

[Greg Cody]

S.W.

[Roy]

Elton John movie. Those are his last two movies in.

[Greg Cody]

The last two decades in theaters. Yeah. Gilmore. Gilmore 2. We watched in the privacy of our home. Not going to be it.

[Stugotz]

Were you surprised at the ending of Gilmore too? Like it shock you?

[Greg Cody]

No, the whole thing was formulaic. They had the girls, the. The live reference, you know, nothing worked. It. It was just. Just terrible.

[Stugotz]

Favorite cameo.

[Greg Cody]

There were too many.

[Stugotz]

Little distracting, right?

[Greg Cody]

Right. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like half of the PGA players just push it away.

[Mike Ryan]

You don't.

[Greg Cody]

Half of the PGA players I couldn't name, you know, like who. Who the hell.

[Dan LeBatard]

Best player in the world, number one.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, that guy. You know, he should have three clubs in his bag to give him a handicap. Him, I. I sort of recognized, but not really. But those other guys, they needed. Hello, my name is Tags. For me to know half of those PGA Tour players and. And the bad bunny, I think was in it. My wife told me who that was. I thought he was pretty good.

[Stugotz]

That wasn't funny. Where every time he was like, he kept asking Happy if he needs a breadstick.

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Mike Ryan]

Funny.

[Greg Cody]

I don't get that because he was a waiter. He wanted to. But what's a breadstick?

[Roy]

You're really at restaurants, they have breadsticks.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, whatever. But. But he was a star.

[Stugotz]

You don't know about that Olive Garden bunny.

[Greg Cody]

No, Bunny was the star of the movie for me, along with Gilmore.

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from Ebglis. After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year.

[Greg Cody]

I heard that as a woman faking pain, I. I didn't think that sounded real. I really didn't. You know, it was not fake.

[Mike Ryan]

It was in no way fake.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, you can spot a woman faking it Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I can. Jess Expert. I've been married 40 years.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Lebatar show with the st.

[Roy]

You're annoying me today.

[Greg Cody]

Why not?

[Mike Ryan]

Not. I. I just a little feedback. Not super helpful.

[Stugotz]

Tim Bowens the.

[Mike Ryan]

Tim Bowen the Even like right out the gates. The photos. I know you're not on Instagram and which is why you kept referencing Facebook, but the photos of the kids, like that's. That's a pop culture thing. But I understand how it misses you. And you know what? But I love you just the way you are. You stay.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can I ask a follow up question which will get Greg Moore into his comfort zone? And again, this is not giving anything away about the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody.

[Greg Cody]

But. Yep.

[Dan LeBatard]

Thank you. But when you are swinging on monkey bars, not when you do it, but as a generalization, when someone swings on monkey bars, you imagine your feet flowing freely.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Dan LeBatard]

Like you have. You don't have to hit against the ground. You don't have to keep your knees up or anything like that. Right. Because this motion right here, keeping your knees close to your chest is already physically more demanding.

[Greg Cody]

Right? Right.

[Dan LeBatard]

So I will say I'm not gonna give anything away, but when we talked about monkey bar swinging, we definitely talked about it in terms of just having one that was tall enough where your feet can just swing.

[Roy]

No adult monkey bars. Sorry, we couldn't find those.

[Dan LeBatard]

Every single monkey bar that I've ever hung on were long enough for adults.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. We went to a playground with kids monkey bars and it was.

[Roy]

Which I thought they all are.

[Greg Cody]

What I mean, no, the monkey bars of my youth.

[Dan LeBatard]

What a ridiculous.

[Roy]

We didn't go to a CrossFit training place. We were at a kids park.

[Greg Cody]

I know, but that.

[Stugotz]

What do you think the monkey bar is like three stories highest in squid game?

[Greg Cody]

I mean, that was a difficulty that added to my difficulty of whether or not I was able to complete.

[Dan LeBatard]

You know what, from now on until the end of, let's say the end of the great Cody show's existence, probably going to be at least 20 more years.

[Stugotz]

Right.

[Dan LeBatard]

I will stop at every monkey bars that I see that are tall enough and show you. And just so you know that all monkey bars are not short little kitty monkey bars.

[Greg Cody]

Exactly. That's right, Christopher. Take a lesson.

[Roy]

Wait to see one that isn't at a workout place.

[Stugotz]

So am I the only one who knows why the kids ran out of their homes in the middle of the day?

[Greg Cody]

Yes, you are the only one who cares is more like it.

[Stugotz]

No, that's not true.

[Mike Ryan]

I care. I. I had actually had tickets to see it on Thursday and I couldn't. I've been too busy this weekend. But it's on the list. This is one that I have to see in theaters. I have to have to find out.

[Stugotz]

You gotta know.

[Mike Ryan]

I gotta know why they're running out into the street at 2:17am well, just.

[Chris Cody]

Tell them why was it.

[Stugotz]

Well, no, no, I'm not gonna give any spoilers for people listening right now. Watch right now. I, I don't do spoilers or I'm not like that.

[Greg Cody]

But courteous person, bad name for a movie.

[Mike Ryan]

Order any weapons.

[Stugotz]

I'm not gonna spoil anything for you. Okay, I guess I'm not gonna spoil anything. But. Yeah. So I will tell you though, I enjoyed the movie. It is not what I thought it was gonna be. That, That. I will tell you not what I thought it was going to be. I will also tell you that purposely, the movie's actually pretty funny. Alright? It's not at it like if you think it's gory, it's not. There are some gory parts, but it's not gory. It's not even scary. It's. It's. It's a thriller. It's more suspense than it is scary. But I liked it a lot. It's. It's pretty wide child, actually.

[Dan LeBatard]

Would it be giving anything away if you told us what you thought the children running away would be?

[Stugotz]

I don't know what I thought. I don't know. Like, like Mike, you haven't seen yet, do you. You have like a theory? I don't think I have a theory. I had no theory. I just.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, because the last time, to answer your question that you asked to Greg, the last time I saw a trailer that made me say I need to know what that.

[Stugotz]

Right.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wasn't too long ago. It was sinners. It was. Oh, okay. I don't really know what the horror element here is.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

But I want to know what it is. And then I watched it and like you said, it wasn't crazy scary. Had a couple of jump scares, but it had a very consistent, you know, classic theme to it and it was a great movie.

[Mike Ryan]

I have A shocking admission. I was embarrassed to admit this, but I'll do it on the air now too. I saw the trailer for Sinners and was like, I want to see that.

[Stugotz]

I still haven't seen it yet.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, it's a good movie. And then I. And spoiler for those that haven't seen this. I don't.

[Stugotz]

I don't.

[Mike Ryan]

It shouldn't be a spoiler. It seems like this is a pretty important plot point. No idea. Michael B. Jordan played two roles.

[Stugotz]

I didn't know that at first either.

[Mike Ryan]

Had no clue. I watched a trailer, watch the trailer a handful of times. Then I sat down and watched the movie and I was like, huh, what do you know?

[Chris Cody]

That's like awesome Dr. Evil type thing or.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, I mean, yeah, kind. He plays himself and his bro. Well, he plays twin brothers.

[Dan LeBatard]

Twins, yeah. That's how I knew he did a great job in it. Because right when I saw him, I said, man, that's clearly Michael B. Jordan. And I said to myself, at what point in this movie am I going to forget that those are two Michael B. Jordans and just think of the character? And at some point halfway through, I completely forgot it was Michael B. Jordan. That guy did a great job.

[Stugotz]

I liked weapons. I liked it a lot. My older son didn't like it. My younger son was like, all right, it's fine. Because I see all the horror movies with my boys in the theater and anytime it gets too gory, you know, and one of them wants to like, put their hands over their eyes, I look, you put your hands down. You will watch every second of this.

[Mike Ryan]

You're a zazlow.

[Stugotz]

I don't allow them to look away.

[Mike Ryan]

Goddamn zazzle.

[Stugotz]

You will.

[Mike Ryan]

Did this grab you like in the first couple of minutes? Did, did weapons just totally suck in?

[Stugotz]

Yes. The way it starts, you know, it's. It's creepy the way it starts. And immediately when the movie gets going, you're like, I. It's building and building and building to finding out what the hell is going on. So yes, I liked it a lot.

[Mike Ryan]

They don't cop out. You find out what's going on.

[Stugotz]

Oh, yeah. There's no mystery. You. You know what's. Yeah, they explain it all when it's.

[Dan LeBatard]

Not going to be coming. Did you used to, like, have to open your kids eyes like little Alex.

[Stugotz]

With the ultra violence and Clockwork Orange?

[Greg Cody]

Really?

[Dan LeBatard]

You would have to do that?

[Stugotz]

Well, no, I tell them to put their hands down because when their father tells them to do something, they do it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Is it because like, you know, man, don't get scared.

[Stugotz]

That's right. Zazlow's don't get scared of this. We're at the movie. We're not at the movie to not watch it. We're at the movie to cover our eyes. We're at the movie to watch.

[Dan LeBatard]

White Tamara, can she cover her eyes?

[Stugotz]

Guys, she doesn't come to the horror films with us. She doesn't like it. She's not into it.

[Chris Cody]

Do your boys like it or you just.

[Stugotz]

They love it. They love the horror films.

[Mike Ryan]

If they don't like it, they have the opportunity to physically challenge him.

[Stugotz]

Well, my. My younger son can challenge me. He has not used up a challenge yet. My older one had used up his first ever challenge. I think it was three months ago.

[Dan LeBatard]

How often do they reset? If they do it six months before.

[Chris Cody]

He can challenge again.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. My boys can challenge me, Greg, to be man of the house if they want, you know, because they're both men also, they've been bar mitzvahed. I don't know if, you know, in the Jewish tradition, once you're bar mitzvah, you're a man. And so my boys there are both allowed to challenge me to be man of the house at this point because they've both been bar mitzvahed. My older one took a stab at it a few months ago. It did not go well for him, and so he has to wait another few months. But my younger one, if you want to step up, step up.

[Greg Cody]

And what would be an example of a challenge that your younger one might make?

[Stugotz]

Gotta take me down.

[Greg Cody]

Down.

[Stugotz]

You know, like they announce, hey, I'm challenging you. Okay. I drop what I'm doing. You know, I would never back down.

[Dan LeBatard]

Fight to the death, Greg, but close.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, you got. You got to get me down on the ground, where it's almost like, all.

[Greg Cody]

Right, you know, you're talking about a physical challenge.

[Stugotz]

Oh, yeah?

[Greg Cody]

Isn't your son.

[Stugotz]

Well, what do you think? We're having a debate.

[Greg Cody]

Fourteen on a dais.

[Roy]

Great.

[Stugotz]

Yep.

[Roy]

That's what he's talking about.

[Mike Ryan]

He's talking about a physical challenge. Yeah, man.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Just. That's ridiculous.

[Stugotz]

So my older one, my 16 year old, he tried. He talked a tough game. It did not go well for him. And he was talking trash to me yesterday, to be honest, saying, I can't wait for another few months because you're dead. I'm like, okay, we remember what happened last time. It's gonna go poorly for you again. But he thinks that he's got Me next time. But he still has to wait a few months.

[Mike Ryan]

Was it scary off the jump, or did they try to lull you into a false sense of security?

[Stugotz]

No, no. My older son, when he tried, he started choking me out. He jumped on my.

[Mike Ryan]

I was talking about weapons because I keep trying to find the loop to get to the. The top five that I cooked up.

[Stugotz]

Let's do it. Come on now.

[Mike Ryan]

Top five best opening scenes in cinematic history.

[Greg Cody]

Good list.

[Stugotz]

Okay, top five best opening scene, cinematic history.

[Mike Ryan]

We do have an Oli. Here's the group of Oli Raiders of the lost ark.

[Stugotz]

Can you explain for those of us who haven't seen in 30 years?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, big old ball.

[Stugotz]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay.

[Greg Cody]

Big ass ball.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, big. Big ass ball. Like the stun show show. Which is still around, by the way.

[Stugotz]

Is it?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. You can always tell who the plant is. They're wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Oli Heat.

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Stugotz]

That's Oli. It's a great opening scene.

[Mike Ryan]

Dude. It was tough to boil this down to 5. It is a great opening scene.

[Stugotz]

Wayne Grow kills him. He's got the blood in his ears. That Wayne girl was a real piece of. Let me tell you.

[Mike Ryan]

See who. Who they're talking to to join the cast of Heat too.

[Stugotz]

No.

[Mike Ryan]

Pat Riley, Leo DiCaprio. What?

[Dan LeBatard]

Wow.

[Mike Ryan]

I like it too. Did you read the book? He too.

[Stugotz]

No, it was a movie. Why would I read.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, it. Heat too is not a movie, Kim.

[Stugotz]

You just told me that the movie's coming out, though, so why would I read it?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you know, they're still trying to get it greenlit. Hmm. All right. Oli Final Oli Jaws or alternate title. What's that Knowing on my leg? Number five. Scream.

[Stugotz]

Great opening scene.

[Mike Ryan]

Great opening.

[Stugotz]

Great opening scene involving what?

[Dan LeBatard]

Spoiler alert.

[Mike Ryan]

Drew Barrymore.

[Stugotz]

Yep.

[Mike Ryan]

The Drew Barry. It was kind of a. It wasn't really a cameo was a bit part, but, you know, Paul's coming.

[Stugotz]

From inside the house.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it's great.

[Stugotz]

And that was also back then where like a famous actor or actress didn't. Didn't get killed in a movie.

[Mike Ryan]

No, it didn't do that. You didn't see it. And it was genuinely scary.

[Dan LeBatard]

I just forgot that that was the opening scene. But it's clearly the most memorable scene from.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, for sure. Number four. Gotta give some animation. Some love here up.

[Stugotz]

It's very sad.

[Mike Ryan]

Super sad. And you. You. You are totally shocked at how this movie grabs you right away and how emotional that start is.

[Stugotz]

When we watched up for the first Time in my house, my kids were of an age where they're gonna be into it. Blockbuster was like, still open. It was still a thing. And when we were renting up, like, the person behind the reddish was like, be prepared for the opening of the movie. It's really sad.

[Roy]

Hey, Blockbuster employee. Don't do that.

[Greg Cody]

Spoiler.

[Roy]

What a terrible thing to do.

[Mike Ryan]

I love. I. Dude, I miss the banter with the people that worked at Blockbuster. Really liked movies.

[Roy]

Know it all.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, they were. Know it.

[Dan LeBatard]

When you had the connection with the one person who would tell you when something just got returned. Oh, my God, that was my guy.

[Stugotz]

Well, do you know what the move was at Blockbuster? If it was a really popular movie and, you know, was never behind the. On the shelf. When you walk into Blockbuster, you first go to the front where it has the movies that have been returned but have not been put back on the shelves yet. That move.

[Mike Ryan]

Number three, Dark Knight.

[Dan LeBatard]

Wow. Number three.

[Stugotz]

That's what I would have. Number one, Dark Knight. Opening scene. I think my number.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, no. Great job. William Finkner, right?

[Stugotz]

Fichner. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Is it Fichner? Either way, it's a up last name. Number two, Saving Private Ryan. This was really difficult.

[Stugotz]

You had dudes walking out of the theater.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, you had dudes carrying in their own arms. It was nuts. This is an incredible scene to start a movie with. And it was really hard to put that. Number two.

[Dan LeBatard]

That was the D Day. Like on the beach.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. You open right up with Tom Hanks.

[Stugotz]

Apparently. Very realistic.

[Mike Ryan]

It was. It was incredible. And number one for me also in that World War II genre. Not the kind of action, but gripping edge of your seat type of dialogue. Christoph Waltz. You knew that he would win an Academy Award just based off of this opening scene. It's Inglourious Basterds.

[Greg Cody]

Wow. No Goodfellas.

[Dan LeBatard]

I can walk you through that opening scene, like, almost frame by frame, where you got Ray Liotta, you've got Joe Pesci in the backseat. You've got what's his face?

[Mike Ryan]

Robert De Niro.

[Dan LeBatard]

Robert De Niro in the passenger seat. And they're hearing the bumping his face. What's that? And they pull the car over, and it's the dude in the trunk. Oh, he's not dead yet. And Joe presses. And then it goes to Ray Leoto with the voiceover. As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster.

[Mike Ryan]

Do your own list.

[Roy]

If you're talking dialogue, Social Network.
