• The panel continues quizzing Greg about his baseball ballot, with similar results—lots of back and forth, few clear answers.

• Dan, Mike, and Chris tease Greg about not remembering his catchphrases or recent podcast moments.

[11:02 – 12:39], [16:55 – 17:55]

• Greg shares the success of his cioppino (Italian seafood stew) at his Super Bowl party—unusual fare for the event, well-received despite being a non-standard choice.

6. Ginger Identity and Miami Sports

• Mike Ryan: “Cuticles. They give the game away.” [06:28]

[32:42 – 40:24]

• Dan announces disappointment and frustration at the American backlash to Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish performance, particularly from right-wing personalities.
• “I grew up with diverse people…you don’t get so homogenized that you get scared of something like Spanish.” — Dan Le Batard [32:42]
• Clips responding to Megyn Kelly’s and Sid Rosenberg’s criticisms are played and mocked:
  • Megyn Kelly: “It is a middle finger to the rest of America…Who gives a damn that we have 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States?” [35:30]
  • Mike Ryan: “I am so done working around the fragilities of mediocre white people…It is exhausting.” [36:09]

9. Greg Cody’s Catchphrase Countdown Fiasco

[18:52 – 22:53] [28:14 – 29:34]

• Greg forgets his latest catchphrases in his own countdown, prompting confusion and laughter.
• Dan tries to help promote Greg’s podcast but the segment devolves:

[40:35 – 43:41]

• Earlene: “Maybe 12% of the time.” [41:36]
• Playful jabs on remote-control etiquette, with Greg’s family affirming he is “the worst” at handling the wand (remote) [42:42 – 43:00].

[Stugotz]

Being a football fan isn't always easy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Especially during the postseason. The stakes are high, the pressures are through the roof, and your team is out there struggling against impossible odds while all you can do is just watch, that's hard. But paying with Venmo all playoff long, that's easy. Whether you're catching a ride to the.

[Greg Cody]

Stadium, ordering food to the Watch party.

[Stugotz]

Swag, just pay with Venmo for great.

Deals on your favorite brands.

[Stugotz]

Terms and exclusions apply. Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show, the podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast?

[Greg Cody]

I'm sorry.

[Stugotz]

I'm not going to apologize for that. 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 if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've done it.

[Stugotz]

And now here's the marching man to Nowhere Fat Face and the Habitual Liar.

[Greg Cody]

This episode of the Dan Levatarch show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Stugotz]

Greg Cody. When we quizzed you two weeks ago, wondering if someone 10 years younger than Bill Polian would have the memory two weeks later to remember who it is that he voted for, did you or did you not vote for Reggie Wayne?

[Greg Cody]

You had to start off with a tough one, didn't you? Damn it. Probably because I'm a homer. Yes, but I don't think I did.

[Stugotz]

And that's exactly the Polian quote that he gave when Don Van Natta called him. Because you did not vote for Reggie Wayne.

[Greg Cody]

My final answer was, I don't think I did.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, but you can't really remember. You're not sure. Eli Manning. Did you vote for Eli Manning?

[Greg Cody]

Hell, no.

[Stugotz]

Hell no.

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Stugotz]

Did you vote for George Seifert?

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Stugotz]

Did you vote for Mike Shanahan?

[Greg Cody]

No. I am nailing this.

[Stugotz]

You got. Reggie Wayne is not nailing it.

[Greg Cody]

The last thing I said was, I don't think I did.

[Stugotz]

Did you vote for Torri Holt?

[Greg Cody]

Close call. No.

[Stugotz]

Wow. Did you vote for Luke Kechley?

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Stugotz]

Did you vote for Chuck Knox?

[Greg Cody]

No. Dan is withering because I'm nailing this.

[Mike Ryan]

What's your problem with Shanahan? Chuck Knox.

[Stugotz]

Did you vote for Jason Whitten?

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Stugotz]

Did you vote for Frank Gore?

[Greg Cody]

Yes. As everyone should have, he's the third all time leading rusher. How can you not vote For Frank Gore. That's why I hate voting panels other than the baseball writers. But when you fill out your ballot, the baseball ballot, there's a check mark. I make my ballot public, of course. I check it all the time. There should be complete transparency. We should know exactly who did and didn't vote for Belichick. Complete transparency across all halls of fame. That's what I'm calling for.

[Dan Le Batard]

As you know, who you voted for in baseball this year?

[Greg Cody]

My ballot seven weeks ago.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, whatever.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I would. I would. If you give me the same. Did you vote for him or not? I would tell you, of course. Yes, I'll take that quiz.

[Stugotz]

But you can't remember. You'll take the quiz, but you can't remember.

[Greg Cody]

I remember several of the names I voted for. I mean, I don't remember all of them. I think I voted for seven.

[Stugotz]

This is a good game, interrogating and badgering an old person. Like, I like this game.

[Greg Cody]

It's ageism.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did you or did you or did you not vote for Bobby Abreu?

[Mike Ryan]

No, it can't be.

[Greg Cody]

Stumped him on the first one. That's a close vote. I remember going back. I remember going back and forth on him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, you asked me about that one. I think.

[Greg Cody]

I'm pretty sure I did, but I'm not positive.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Final answer.

[Greg Cody]

I thought he was a very close vote. You did okay. Not.

[Mike Ryan]

He's right there.

[Greg Cody]

So I was correct, then?

[Stugotz]

No, you know, that is what.

[Greg Cody]

It's a very close call, but I don't think I did.

[Stugotz]

All right, let's move on.

[Mike Ryan]

You said quote.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm pretty sure I did. I'm not positive.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I was misquoted.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can I ask him one more?

[Stugotz]

It's like Charles Barkley claiming to be misquoted in his autobiography. He did. Charles Barkley actually claimed that he was misquoted in something that was an autobiography.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did you or did you not vote for Felix Hernandez?

[Greg Cody]

I did not.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is correct.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did you or did you not vote for Carlos Beltran?

[Greg Cody]

Absolutely.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, that is correct. Okay.

[Stugotz]

You should have quit while you were ahead.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know why you said one more.

[Stugotz]

I don't really know why you decided to keep doing that. We got the payoff that we needed.

[Greg Cody]

Lovely. That is correct. Though when he says, that is correct, it just warms my mind.

[Stugotz]

Well, that's what some of your favorite words, sir, you were right about, but you never admit you're wrong about that.

[Greg Cody]

I admit when I'm wrong all the time.

[Stugotz]

Oh, no, you do not. That's not.

[Greg Cody]

I'm famous for admitting.

[Stugotz]

All right, can you call. Can you call your mother, please? I'd like to talk to Lean. And just. Just put down famous. Famous for. Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

Does.

[Stugotz]

Does Greg admit when he's wrong? Because I think old people keep getting more and more stubborn. Put it on the poll Lebatard show. And this is what's happening with the Miami Heat.

[Dan Le Batard]

Chris, I do not want to call my mom today because someone's gonna ask her about the wand.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, you gotta do that for the show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you always handle the wand?

[Stugotz]

We're making Valentine's Day. Angel's already been summoned. Where? We're putting into rush supply right now. And for Valentine's Day, my wife always handles the wand. Is among the funniest things ever said inadvertently on this show.

[Mike Ryan]

Also, is Jim Tomi ginger or just white?

[Dan Le Batard]

He's not pure, really. He's in the Sam Darnold category. Although we had the up yesterday. I did notice after the show Sam Darnold's arms. I'm. But his hair is just clearly not a full ginger. But his arms bring him closer to pure than I gave him credit for.

[Stugotz]

So it's.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's.

[Stugotz]

So it's not skin tone. It's freckles.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's more freckles. Freckles. I just gotta see your hands. I gotta see if the freckles go to the hands and it's the beard and then the top, like the. Cause a lot of people got the red beard. It's really what it looks like when.

[Stugotz]

Chris. But what is just. I don't know what you're doing here. Okay. You claimed yourself in authority yesterday. Put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Do you have to see the ginger's hands to see if the ginger is indeed a tree?

[Mike Ryan]

It's part of it. Cuticles. They give the game away.

[Stugotz]

Okay, but what is the feature above all others? Because you dismissed Sam Darnold as a ginger yesterday and then you saw his arms and you didn't even inspect his cuticles. So what is the thing on the body? Because I thought it was the red. Like, I. Forgive me. I thought it was the red.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're an amateur.

[Stugotz]

Okay? That's what you say. But you say you're an expert and you didn't check Arnold's arms and he's the super bowl champion and you failed.

[Mike Ryan]

It's pretty easy to follow. I think his criteria is pretty well established.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's your freckle per capita. It's your beard.

[Mike Ryan]

The pale Skin cuticles are part of it.

[Stugotz]

But what's the order of those things? Because you dismissed Arnold and he's paler than he's the porn thing than Andy Dalton. Yes, I. You gave me that.

[Mike Ryan]

Doesn't seem like there's like a tier. Like it's a. It's a combination. It's an algamation.

[Dan Le Batard]

Of all those, got to have three out of the four.

[Stugotz]

Ginger porn. You're looking at the hands. Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't watch ginger porn. No one like gingers don't watch ginger porn. Some people have like redheads as a thing for them. Not for me.

[Stugotz]

Put it on the poll at Levitar show. Do gingers watch ginger boy self loathing thing.

[Greg Cody]

You don't want to see it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've never like you think I've hooked up with a ginger. Get out of here.

[Mike Ryan]

That would be Sean Penn.

[Greg Cody]

One battle after two gingers hooking up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Would just be like that for me. That'd be an eyesore. I'd be like, what are we doing here?

[Stugotz]

More ginger.

[Mike Ryan]

Ginger girls I love.

[Stugotz]

Wait a minute. Are you claiming that Andy Dalton might have had parents who were both ginger?

[Mike Ryan]

That can't be.

[Dan Le Batard]

You've never seen a ginger with a ginger. They just don't date. I'm telling you guys talk about.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm with him. It's too much.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have you ever seen a gin. Just two gingers holding hands walking down the street. Like crossing the street.

[Mike Ryan]

Not in Miami.

[Greg Cody]

Crossing.

[Mike Ryan]

Tell you that.

[Stugotz]

Put it on the pole. Would you be scared if you saw two gingers holding hands crossing the street? I don't know what there. But you're claiming. Just to be clear, the most authentic and originals of the gingers would be if you had two ginger parents. Correct. And then you would look at their cuticles.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Correct. But you never see that. So one ginger parent pure is usually good enough. What's with the cuticles?

[Mike Ryan]

There's usually a lot of dry skin because the skin's not in great shape. It's pretty sensitive. Especially around the arms.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, my elbows are super.

[Stugotz]

You said that with the right tone. Being gentle. Like you were very gentle with the ginger community as a self loathing ginger. Just said you never see gingers with other gingers. Because we don't think gingers are attractive.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like that's that we don't think we're attractive. It's just like. We just both know this would be weird.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Like it's not. It's not my main focus, but it is adjacent to my general observations when it comes to like teeth, hair, skin.

[Dan Le Batard]

According to how to be a Redhead Dot com, it is a rarity for a ginger to date another ginger because often they're stared at in public. What it's like too much at once. That last line was unnecessary. But not individually, but together in public.

[Stugotz]

I don't think it's a big redhead.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bullying taught this couple to feel proud instead of embarrassed.

[Mike Ryan]

In Miami, I do tend to linger.

[Stugotz]

I don't think that it's a big leap from all the things. A big logic leap from all the things that we're talking about to say based on available information that gingers don't find other gingers attractive or at least not attractive enough to. To choose a life that allows them to be stared at in public. Like, which usually you'll just get a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Lot of, oh, is that your sister?

[Greg Cody]

Right?

[Dan Le Batard]

Plus, they think we all look the same. That's another thing. Every. Every day I walk somewhere like, hey, you look familiar. It's like, oh, we just. I have red hair. You saw another redhead. Thanks. We don't all look the same.

[Mike Ryan]

It's all. It depends on what part of the country you're in. Cause Booge Shambi down here turns heads.

[Greg Cody]

That is true.

[Mike Ryan]

He does for Miami. I'm not saying he's an odd looking individual. I'm saying he's an odd looking individual for Miami.

[Stugotz]

He made the mistake of allowing me one year to buy his Halloween costume. So I took all of that and bought a giant red heart. And he will never make that mistake again. Because you think they were looking at him a lot under those circumstances. People listening to the show might not know that Zsasz got his start with the original. The og. The original ginger Boog Shombi. That is first time I was ever.

[Dan Le Batard]

Allowed on a microphone.

[Stugotz]

That is where. That is where Zaz learned to ply his craft.

[Dan Le Batard]

Mount Rushmore.

[Stugotz]

What a. What a surgeon. Boog Shombi was at hosting. Hosting a talk show. So I wanted to get to Greg Cody, Super Bowl Home Experience. How did. How did your. Your dish go over?

[Greg Cody]

It went over exceptionally well. My cioppino, people really loved it. I had someone say, can you make this for my birthday? I mean, it turned out exceptionally well. I do something with my cioppino that most people don't do. I don't put fish in it. I use only mussels, clams, and shrimp.

[Stugotz]

Wow, that's unusual. I think of. I didn't know very much about cioppino, but I thought it was a fish dish.

[Greg Cody]

Well, it's a combination. It's a seafood dish, but most. It's. It's uncommon not to put fish in it, but I simply choose that. Even if you get a firm fish, it tends to fall apart a little bit. And I just prefer the shellfish and the. In the shrimp. Shrimp is out of the shell. Very easy to consume. And the shellfish, the clams and mussels, very easy. It falls right off.

[Stugotz]

The appreciation was where you wanted it.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it was. Because it's not a dish that normally would be served at a Super bowl party. At a Super bowl party, you think of chicken wings, chips, and dips, salsa. This is a little more involved. You got to have a bowl, you got to have a spoon. It's super hot. But it went over very well. I was excited.

[Dan Le Batard]

I will say it was getting rave reviews. That's why I did the move of. Took some to go because just like I said earlier in the week, it's just. It's a delightful dish that I want to eat, but it's just at a Super bowl party, I'm wheeling and dealing. I'm chips, I'm wings, I'm nachos. Like, I'm just. I didn't have time for a bowl.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Respectfully, if I were to walk in.

[Mike Ryan]

You were to invite me, and I.

[Dan Le Batard]

Would see that and be like, I'm good, actually. I'm. I'm.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm just.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm fasting. People were raving, though, so I did bring some home. I'm eat it today.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Guys, let me tell you something. One of the greatest joys of my life was when they finally opened the White Castle in my neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona. I lost my mind because I'm so used to eating White Castle at home when I was in New York. Now I can have all the time I'm in Phoenix. But when I come to Miami, there's no White Castle. So you know what I do? Go to the freezer aisle, because right there, they got the variety pack with all the great White Castle flavor in there.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're getting a lot of slider styles.

[Stugotz]

You're getting classic American cheese. You're getting jalapeno cheese. And if you're a bacon lover, you're getting that new cheddar bacon cheese sliders. The classic cheese gives you all the taste of a great American burger, while jalapeno cheese sliders give a serving of spicy to each bite. And the new cheddar bacon cheese, that literally brings home the bacon, folks. With real pieces of bacon in cheddar flavored cheese. Guys, I know what you're thinking. Your mouth is watering. My mouth is watering just reading this. That's completely normal. You can find each of these sliders. Where? In the grocery store, in the freezer aisle. Bonus. They're all in the same box. You don't even have to. Oh, I gotta get four boxes. No, it's one variety box. It's got them all in it. Perfect for game day, late nights or anytime you just want something awesomely oniony, satisfying, steamy and unapologetically cheesy. White Castle. Crave thy castle.

[Mike Ryan]

Howdy, folks. Mike Ryan here. Quick break to talk to you about one of our show's longest, most tenured and greatest partners, Miller Lite. I love this product because so many moments were made legendary by having Miller Lite there. And it's not just the good times. Sometimes you and your pals are sad because a game didn't go your way. And you take a sip of Miller Lite and you still recognize. Darn, this tastes good. And I made the right call.

[Greg Cody]

And that.

[Mike Ryan]

That sound of cracking open that beautiful white can, it does make me feel better. Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, watch more games, complain about the power play, and pretend like my team's actually going to stay healthy.

[Greg Cody]

Haha.

[Stugotz]

Don Lebatard.

[Greg Cody]

He called me on my own podcast. He called me full of shit, claiming that I'm faking interest in the solar eclipse.

[Dan Le Batard]

You do do this. You love to just get excited about everything.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, junior stugats. I had to school you and explain.

[Dan Le Batard]

To you he was going to take you to Augusta.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, when I was 17 years old, Alan, Sherry and I used to haunt the Bueller Planetarium.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stadts.

[Greg Cody]

Well, the thing about that dish though, is that the next day it's still good in terms of the shellfish. But after that, like, I wouldn't keep the mussels and the clams and eat it. Five days.

[Stugotz]

He's insulted you by. If he's going to do it two days later, it's not going to be as good as when you prepared it correctly. You, you, you take some indignation, some insult from the fact that I think the most offensive thing your kids do is they don't read your sports columns. But this would be a close second of not respecting the time you take to cook something.

[Greg Cody]

In this case, I forgive them because there was a ton of food. Somebody made sloppy joes and we sloppy Joe's.

[Dan Le Batard]

I haven't had that. I was at that super bowl food I saw come in and I'm like, I don't have time for cioppino today, Right?

[Greg Cody]

Well, even, even I didn't save my entire ciopino. I took out the clams and the mussels, ate them individually and essentially just saved the broth, which also has chopped clams in it. So the broth I still have. And that'll be good in the fridge. That'll be good a week later.

[Dan Le Batard]

You like it extra sloppy. Sorry, Dan.

[Stugotz]

Why are you guys looking? Mike, why are you looking so askew at Greg Cody?

[Mike Ryan]

I'm just taking it in, listening to what the show's become.

[Stugotz]

What do you mean listening to what the show's become? What is that supposed to mean? As if the show hasn't always been wander around Greg Cody's meandering. See what's over there. See where he's insulted.

[Mike Ryan]

Like, I looked at my notes for what it felt like for five minutes, and I looked back up, and he was still talking about clams.

[Stugotz]

Are you not aware that you have to give on the days that he doesn't have a. Back in my day, I thought you would have learned this by now. As someone who's been around the show for as long as you have, you have to give him three minutes to talk about the shit that he wants to talk about, or you will lose him later in the show. Have you not figured that out yet?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, we lost somebody.

[Stugotz]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

Mike doesn't want to learn, doesn't want to earn.

[Stugotz]

Okay, I'm going to have to do this to myself here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow. Minor penalty.

[Stugotz]

Two minutes for explaining the show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dad, since you mentioned got to want to earn, got to want to learn, why don't you update the Greg Cody catchphrases for this week? Do you remember those? Oh, here we go again. He doesn't remember what two he picked this year. What number are we even on?

[Stugotz]

2.

[Greg Cody]

Dude, we're on 40 and 39.

[Dan Le Batard]

Write them down.

[Stugotz]

I think that was last week.

[Greg Cody]

No, last week was 40. 41 and 40.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you're gonna do 40 again?

[Greg Cody]

No, no, it's a new one. I just. Christopher's setting me up here to embarrass me.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm trying to tease our podcast.

[Greg Cody]

Tell me what the second one was, because I. I remember the first one, but the first one wasn't very good.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just give the first one then.

[Greg Cody]

No, no, you go ahead. Do you remember them?

[Dan Le Batard]

This is. I was legitimately just trying to tee you up to set up the body.

[Greg Cody]

I know, but I, you know, I've done 50. I do 50 of them. I don't remember the order of every.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you haven't done 50 of them.

[Greg Cody]

No, but we've done like 11 now, you know, and so, Greg, I just.

[Dan Le Batard]

Want to let you know Mike wrote.

[Mike Ryan]

Something down over here, and it's usually does notes for the show. Right, he wrote something down that I.

[Dan Le Batard]

Think you want to be careful about.

[Greg Cody]

Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

Too much, Greg. I can throw this away, though. We can turn it around. All we got to do is ignore you for a good 30 minutes.

[Greg Cody]

I think we'll.

[Mike Ryan]

It'll be a nice little recalibration.

[Greg Cody]

Christopher's the one who intentionally set me up to fail.

[Dan Le Batard]

Teeing you up to tease. Your podcast is setting you up to fail.

[Mike Ryan]

This is. It's. It's literally your bit. He's setting you up to do your thing.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, but first of all, I only want to give one of them. And it's the Second one, number 39, that I'm trying to think of, but I just can't remember it offhand.

[Dan Le Batard]

Give the one you can think of.

[Greg Cody]

Because it's a bad one. It's. It's.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, if it's a bad one, why didn't make the list.

[Mike Ryan]

Give me the good one.

[Greg Cody]

It's controversial. I thought it deserved to make the list. Christopher didn't, but now he can't even remember it.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is it?

[Stugotz]

I don't remember back in there.

[Greg Cody]

I just remember it was bad.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you don't remember either of them, Right? This is one of the all time, like, write them down.

[Stugotz]

I leave you alone for two minutes and you guys all forget how to do the show. And it's just badgering an old man. What do you remember?

[Dan Le Batard]

You don't remember anything. He doesn't remember anything.

[Stugotz]

Do you know how hard it is to arrive at a point where we're saying an hour and a half into the show, we're saying too much Greg. I leave every show. Greg does everyone saying, not enough, Greg. Not enough Greg.

[Greg Cody]

This is a pleasant change today.

[Stugotz]

80 minutes in, you guys are just asking him, what do you mean you don't remember things you did on your podcast? He's absolutely right. He's right. It's been too much Greg. Today we ask you questions. You don't know how to promote your own podcast. You don't remember your whole hall of fame votes. I'm basically doing. I'm doing a show with someone in a memory loss unit.

[Greg Cody]

Christopher.

[Stugotz]

Wendy Williams tone. What?

[Dan Le Batard]

And he doesn't know why he's going to Vegas.

[Greg Cody]

I know why I'm going to Vegas. I think it's for the Eagles.

[Stugotz]

Wendy Williams was put in a memory loss issue. I can't believe I'm laughing about this. Wendy Williams was put in a memory loss unit for alcohol induced dementia. What do you think 12 beers a day is going to do?

[Greg Cody]

It's not 12 beers a day.

[Stugotz]

You don't remember what you did on your podcast. You don't remember your catchphrases.

[Greg Cody]

I don't remember. I Can't give you all 11 in a row.

[Dan Le Batard]

We're not asking for that. We're asking for the last two.

[Greg Cody]

50 to 39 every week.

[Dan Le Batard]

Write down those two. Bring them in.

[Greg Cody]

They're written down at home.

[Dan Le Batard]

We told you that 12 times.

[Stugotz]

You don't remember because you should be in a memory loss unit.

[Dan Le Batard]

We ask you every week. I don't think I've ever seen Chris this disillusioned with his.

[Greg Cody]

Well, he's. You know, his job is to remind me to bring in I.

[Dan Le Batard]

And I'm thinking of a million things on this show. Like, all I asked you to do is remember your catchphrase. That's like.

[Stugotz]

That's.

[Dan Le Batard]

What. Are we asking you to bring your.

[Stugotz]

Catchphrases so we can promote your podcast, which is the only thing that he wants.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

Like the Eagles would say, take it easy. Okay? Relax yourself. Okay. Will that be on the catchphrase phrase? I invented the phrase relax yourself. No, I'm. You know. All right.

[Stugotz]

You know what the catchphrase is?

[Greg Cody]

It's been long.

[Mike Ryan]

It had to be done.

[Dan Le Batard]

Get out of here. Get out of here. It's a long overdue five minute major.

[Greg Cody]

Where's the show killer sound.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Hit him with a shockular.

[Dan Le Batard]

We haven't done that.

[Mike Ryan]

Not in years. Blow the dust off that thing.

[Stugotz]

All right, let's.

[Mike Ryan]

Show Killer is back.

[Dan Le Batard]

My God, So proud of him.

[Mike Ryan]

I could box.

[Dan Le Batard]

I could box him for charity right now. We need to bring that back, Jack.

[Mike Ryan]

See what I mean about what the show's become?

[Stugotz]

People think my dad is saying shockular instead of show killer. That was amazing. Everything that just happened there was amazing. 90 minutes into the show. Usually that's what peters out end of the day, Wednesday. That's what. That's what happens toward the end. He's done it. Back in my day, we've gone to him throwing him a couple of lobs, and he's tired. He doesn't have the stamina he used to.

[Greg Cody]

Another crisis. So.

[Stugotz]

Get your mother on the phone so I can. He actually said the one. The one cogent thing he said is that he's actually very good at admitting when he's wrong, which is absolutely in no way true. Zaslow.

[Dan Le Batard]

That was chaotic. Bonnie Baloney. I didn't forget about you.

[Stugotz]

No, Zaslow. So you killed David Baker and. And the $50 because we're bringing back the Money Lion. Fine Bucket. Money lion has rushed to the rescue and is now sponsoring the Fine bucket. It's been a while. When Mike says bring back the show, the show that used to be. We used to have a fine bucket that people respected. That fine bucket used to have hundreds of dollars in it. And then somebody stole it at the Clevelanders. Somebody here. Among. I don't know if that person is. Inside job. Oh, my God, it's just so bad. There were hundreds of dollars in a piggy bank filled with the fine bucket, and somebody from inside the company absolutely stole it one day, just the cash was taken, and nobody's found out who it was. But you seem dismayed by that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I mean, I. Well, dismayed about which part? Me having to pay 50 bucks or dismayed that something got stolen?

[Stugotz]

You seem more dismayed by the fact that it was an inside job. That somebody around here stole hundreds of dollars of what was supposed to be fine money that end up, you know, somebody lost at the bucket. And then they went all excited to think they were going to get $500 because it was fine bucket plus automatic death. Automatic death in the bucket was something that people craved because of the sheer amount of the amount I was being fine because I'm the only one who pays the fines around here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Everybody knows two things about me, all right? Number one, I don't like thieves. And number two, I will never be a cuck. Everybody knows.

[Stugotz]

Wasn't there something earlier in the show that everyone knew that was different?

[Dan Le Batard]

These are the two things everybody knows.

[Stugotz]

But what about the other thing that you said from before that everybody knows about you?

[Dan Le Batard]

These are the two things everybody knows. Everybody knows that he can't go to the sphere because he has Verto. There are two things everybody knows about me.

[Stugotz]

Number one, that's exactly how you should say Verto. You should say it.

[Dan Le Batard]

If I did it on purpose, put.

[Stugotz]

It on the poll at Levitar show. If you have vertigo, do you say it? Vergado.

[Dan Le Batard]

Everybody knows I can't go the sphere because I have vertigo and that I'll never be a cop show has ruined me.

[Stugotz]

Okay, I gotta go back to this because of how amazing that was. Showcaler. He's. The magic that he has is. And Mike, I don't think agrees with this, but I. I feel it all the time. The worse that he is, the better that he is really Fake.

[Dan Le Batard]

Chris, I'll see you.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, man.

[Stugotz]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dropping like flies.

[Mike Ryan]

That's what happened.

[Stugotz]

What happened?

[Mike Ryan]

That should be fine.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is it contagious? Minor penalty. Two minutes delay.

[Mike Ryan]

A.

[Stugotz]

Tony's having a rough one. Okay, this is. I'm gonna take. I'm gonna. I'm gonna take myself out Here prematurely because.

[Dan Le Batard]

Minor penalty.

[Stugotz]

Two minutes for explaining the show. Earlier in the show, I did something that I never do. I tossed Tony a lob and said you had something for Zaz. Right, Tony. He was supposed to do the whole show today in Spanish and just forgot.

[Mike Ryan]

No. Nice. Everybody's going to the box today.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, cool. Penalty box. Top five gingers in Miami sports history. Anybody?

[Stugotz]

Whoa.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you want to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do we want to try to figure it out?

[Mike Ryan]

Because I know that obviously huge style sports history.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, we could just do Miami history in general.

[Mike Ryan]

Mr. Red is out.

[Dan Le Batard]

Because I was thinking in sports, you might not think of his name immediately, but for gingers, you need Eric Wagaman on that list.

[Stugotz]

Oh, God.

[Dan Le Batard]

Marlins. One year I'm on the list. The reason he needs to be on that list missed his last year after he hit a home run and he came in, came into the dugout and Derek Showman, the then Marlins assistant hitting coach, said, attaboy, you ginger. It was great.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Leaping it. Take it easy, man. Trying to think of other gingers. I'm trying to think, too. I'm coming up pretty empty. Have we got any Panthers, Bernie? But I mean, what if they were terrible players down here? What could they be on the list? Of course, you're just looking for your top five. Heath Bell was injured.

[Stugotz]

Is Heath Bell ginger?

[Dan Le Batard]

I think so.

[Mike Ryan]

Chris Heath Bell.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, not a pure for sure. I mean, he might have had a red beard, but I don't look at him as a pure.

[Mike Ryan]

Brian Campbell, former Florida Panther, former Blackhawk. Trevor Kidd.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, dad. You have number 39.

[Mike Ryan]

I did.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now we're bowling. You have number two, number 39 of the countdown.

[Greg Cody]

I love him like a pet.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's okay. That's better than the one you didn't want to mention. Yes, that's the good one.

[Greg Cody]

See, the way countdowns go, they get better as they get to number one.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, except you just said that number 40 was terrible and you're doing a list of 50, so why is that number 40?

[Greg Cody]

Well, 40 was controversial. It wasn't terrible. It was terrible in some eyes, such as Christopher's eyes, but I thought it was good. Just listen to the pod. You know, it's about three quarters of the way through the pod. The beginning of the pod is inside the PFBI super bowl party, or rather the super bowl party. And then we get to McNugget Caviar and Pepsi Grand Theft Polar Bear and other stuff.

[Dan Le Batard]

Incredible.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love him like a pet, is what my dad says. Thank you. But that's different than let a pet. No, no. I love him like a pet is my dad, whenever he's trying to, like, show me and my brother love, it's like, talk about it to other people. Like, I love this guy like a pet.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, correct. Because I love my pets.

[Stugotz]

It's also weird because their household refers to farts as pets.

[Dan Le Batard]

Different pet. Yeah, yeah. It's all the little.

[Mike Ryan]

Like a fart.

[Greg Cody]

No, they're not interchangeable. Love them like a pet referred to.

[Dan Le Batard]

So pet means pet, but pet also means fart. But. But that pet doesn't mean pet.

[Stugotz]

That's correct. You've got it exactly right. No, you have it correct. Get or lean on the phone. And also, Mike is right. You're going to redeem yourself. But Mike is right. There's been too much Greg in today's show. All right, we're going to need you to pick it up here over the next couple of hours. I wanted to get.

[Greg Cody]

To pick it up. Up. You just said there's too much of me. Now you want more of me.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dial it back, Jack.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

Small windows, no rambling. In fact, I'm just gonna do this prematurely. Just.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, no, just.

[Dan Le Batard]

Minor penalty.

[Mike Ryan]

Two minutes rambling.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, just. I'm doing it prematurely.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's you, playa.

[Stugotz]

I know, but just no more rambling.

[Greg Cody]

Let me rambling.

[Stugotz]

No, no, you did over the first two hours. Don LeBatard.

[Greg Cody]

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

[Stugotz]

That's shocking.

[Mike Ryan]

Stugats.

[Greg Cody]

Here's a picture of Christopher when He was, like, 3 years old.

[Stugotz]

Right next to the condom.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

Never forget, this is the Dan Levitar show with the stugats. Let me get to what it is that I wanted to get to here earlier that I have not yet gotten to, because it. It has been really surprising to see. Although I guess I'm only allowed to be so surprised as. But I do think growing up in Miami, I had grown up a bit immune to the idea that people speaking different languages would be something that would upset people who really liked to call everybody else snowflakes. And they would run over to Kid Rock's, you know, sideshow in white shorts because they would be so offended and want something more all American than Spanish. And so when I say I'm surprised, like, you guys all warned me this would be bad. And it's not like I haven't seen what's been going on in America over the last few years, but growing up in Miami, this is not really a thing here. It's not just for Spanish Creole. Like, when you grow up with diverse people and they become your friends and people you're always interacting with, you don't get so homogenized that you get scared of something like Spanish. And I understand what's happening in America. Okay? Anytime I tell you I want you to be inclusive, you feel excluded. Like, that's not. Like, that's the way that transaction is working. Anytime I go to somebody and say, how about being inclusive? If you're on the other side of this arguing with me, like, no, that excludes me. I feel threatened by it, but I don't feel threatened by that. I grew up among it. What I feel threatened by is truck testicles and American flags overrunning, you know, the Capitol or gun toting. That feels threatening to me. What's happening? What? Spanish in a halftime show. I'm like, really? You guys with the guns are gonna get upset about Spanish about. Because the most pop culture thing there is happens to be in Spanish in America. But you want your sport to be so American that you don't want to even give them 13 minutes when everyone's taking a break on your thing. Ricky Martin doesn't even get those 15 seconds. No, no, no, no, no. I want it all to be American. So then you get Sid Rosenberg, who came up here locally, and I don't even know where to start with this, but really fragile loudmouth. Like, really fragile. And so he's rewarded by this time in America. And so this is what's happening all over the place in reaction to this halftime show. And I really. I guess I ought not be surprised. Obviously, I ought not be surprised, but I really do think that I've been numb to it here in Miami. So listen, this is what's happening all over the place. It was a bad football game, and when you couple that with Bad Bunny, who may have been the worst halftime.

[Mike Ryan]

Show, not one word of English, not one word of English, one word.

[Stugotz]

You combine the halftime show and the football game.

[Mike Ryan]

I think Clay would agree.

[Stugotz]

He's a great sports guy too. What a waste of three hours, Right, Clay?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bad Bunny. I didn't get one word.

[Mike Ryan]

I stood with him.

[Dan Le Batard]

I took German in high school with my dad. He said he's 81. He said, hey, this is the worst football game top to bottom ever. So. So I think he was right on that one. Although Turning Point put together a great show.

[Stugotz]

So Bad Bunny did use some words in English. God bless America. He said English. United States. He said in English, selfie. So there were A few words. You guys are unsurprised by this, right? I'm the naive one to see the size of the reaction. Because Megyn Kelly did this, too, and this is her lane now. And there are plenty of people who want the right to put this under the flag, wrap themselves in the flag and tell people who are not this homogenized, hey, get out of here with your different languages. I do think what we should do is when these games go to Madrid, we should make all the football players speak Spanish. Good idea. When it's in Madrid, everybody, it's going to be in Madrid for several years now. The NFL wants to be global, make all the football players do their interviews in not one word of Spanish. Nobody's going to say si or no. Like it's as ridiculous, right? It's. This is a pop culture icon at the middle of a spectacle that they had to have Colin Kaepernick go bring in Jay Z so he can make it blacker and browner. Because they don't want black and brown around this stuff.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like.

[Stugotz]

Like they've made. They've made it clear the owners of this league, none of whom are black or brown, have made it clear that they have to be ordered by Rooney rule and by Jay Z to make this stuff slightly more diverse. And so the objection you get sounds a lot like this from Megyn Kelly.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry, Pierce, but to get up there and perform the whole. The whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to the rest of America. Who gives a damn that we have 40, 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States?

[Greg Cody]

We have 310 million who don't speak.

[Dan Le Batard]

A lick of Spanish. And whether it's Bad Bunny who is American but refuses to speak English in his performances or anybody else, we have to keep the super bowl, which is a quintessential American event.

[Greg Cody]

Football.

[Dan Le Batard]

That kind of football is ours. They call it American football. And the halftime show and everything around.

[Stugotz]

It needs to stay quintessentially American.

[Mike Ryan]

Who is the hour she's talking about? Because it sounds like she wants to say white. Megyn Kelly was given an entire hour of the Today show. She so desperately wanted to be accepted by mainstream America, and now she's working up more conviction over a reggaeton artist or a Latin superstar than she did around the legal age. I am so done working around the fragilities of mediocre white people. When it comes to accommodating them and what they want, there are options. It's the Super Bowl. Sometimes you like the halftime show, sometimes you don't every single one of these conservative talking heads have made money pointing at the other side in the 2010 saying they don't want you to laugh anymore. They're snowflakes. They're sensitive. And every day there is some new thing that is insignificant that they are complaining about. It is exhausting.

[Greg Cody]

I'm embarrassed by the way half of America has reacted to Bad Bunny singing in Spanish in a halftime show. It's ridiculous. And compounding that is that Puerto Rico happens to be a commonwealth in the United States and they're citizens over there. They're U.S. citizens. It's part of our country. Why can't we embrace them? It's absurd. I just. I don't understand the overreaction. And by the way, parenthetically, it's also an overreaction to say worst Super bowl ever. 36 of 60 Super Bowls have been double digit point spreads. 5 have been 30 or more. I covered a Super bowl that was 55 to 10 one year ago. Philadelphia was up 34 to nothing before the Chiefs woke up. Bad Super Bowls are a thing. Halftime shows you don't like are a thing. But don't pin it on the fact that he's speaking Spanish. I enjoyed the music. I'm not a huge Bad Bunny fan, but I enjoyed the music, the pageantry of it, the fact that it was so Puerto Rican. I loved with the sugar cane and the coconut vendor and all that stuff. I loved it. Loved every minute of it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Also, it's the highest viewed halftime show of all time already.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Mike Ryan]

And it's gonna continue to do those numbers. But also when Megyn Kelly says not a lick of English, what do you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Want them to do? Translate songs that are in Spanish to.

[Mike Ryan]

English and then wrap them in English?

[Stugotz]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

Are you not proud of your game? Our game, American football? Well, Bad Bunny proved theories right that he would bring more audience to your game. Now, you didn't exactly put on a show. The game was crap. But it is a largely American experience. The world stops and watches this very American thing. You should be happy that Bad Bunny is bringing new audience to further indoctrinate everybody in your American thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

And the irony is, is these same people who are grifting off of this now, right, by feeding into the fury. They never complain about America's pastime having so many Spanish speakers within it. Right. Major League Baseball. Baseball is America's pastime. And yet there is not a league in America that has more Spanish speaking individuals representing that game in an incredible way who are not from the United States or are from the United States. But one way or another, this grift is purely based off of, oh, we have something we can seize on with people who are going to be angry in the moment. They don't give a shit.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. And. And to that point, the World cup is in the United States this summer. The most international of sports, the most foreign. Speaking of all sports, because it's global. Why can't people get over the fact that the US Is part of a world community here? You know, I give the NFL, I blame the NFL for a lot. I give the NFL credit for its last two Super Bowls.

[Stugotz]

Well, it was forced on them. The Jay Z thing was forced on them by the Kaepernick stuff. Don't give them too much credit, okay? Because they made sure that. They made sure that the guy who was kneeling in front of the flag wasn't in the game in the first half or second half. Jay Z, you can have halftime time. Like, that's, that's. And it was forced on them.

[Greg Cody]

Fair. Fair comment. I was, I was referring to Kendrick Lamar last year, but in the case of Bad Bunny, it's. He's an international artist. We're part of the international community. It's just absurd. And, and I give, I, I do give Goodell credit. There was an instant uproar over Bad Bunny in halftime. He had an opportunity to, to make a switch, and he didn't bend. So I, I do give him credit for that.

[Stugotz]

Make a switch.

[Mike Ryan]

Biggest stars on the planet. He's right. It seems as though the NFL is like the only professional sports league that doesn't really care about Donald Trump firing off true socials and complaining about now.

[Stugotz]

Now they cared when Pence was at the games. Like, now, look, halftime's what you get minorities, and they don't want you to have that. Earlene is here now. Thank you. Earlene, I know you're very busy. You don't have time for all of our foolishness, but your husband said something so egregious earlier. Oh, God. Said it with a straight face. And I just like, like. And I said, this is what it's like to be married to him because he's stubborn, he entrenches himself on things, and he thinks he's right. But he just said, and I'd like to get the number of times in your marriage that he has confirmed, provided proof for what he just said is about true about himself. He just said, I easily admit when I'm wrong.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not. That's not true.

[Greg Cody]

I beg to differ.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not true. He'll Talk himself in 14 minutes of circles just to say that he was right.

[Stugotz]

But give me the number of times in your marriage that he has immediately said, my bad, I'm sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

I was wrong about something substantive maybe 12% of the time.

[Greg Cody]

There you go.

[Dan Le Batard]

And like every day, like, everyday crap, like, less.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. You know, you're the same way. I mean, we're both super stubborn. Yeah, we are. That's a dynamic of the marriage that works. Ying and ying.

[Dan Le Batard]

Mom, is Sam Darnold a true ginger? I have. I've. I've only seen him with his clothes on. I don't know.

[Stugotz]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, I was more basic into that one.

[Mike Ryan]

Chris.

[Dan Le Batard]

Basing it off his arms, his beard, you know? Yeah. I say, yeah, why not? Why is he not. You're doing this thing where you let everyone in.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, Earlene, who do you think is more ginger, Christopher or his brother Michael? Well.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think they both are equal. They just have different kinds of. You know, some of them have more. Some have more hair than the other one does, so he. It looks more red haired. But actually, Christopher. I'd say Christopher. I'm gonna go with Chris.

[Stugotz]

We're gonna sell T shirts here. Your husband said this earlier in the show. What are your thoughts on your husband saying this?

[Greg Cody]

My wife always handles the wand.

[Dan Le Batard]

Always handles the what?

[Greg Cody]

My wife always handles the wand. The TV wand.

[Dan Le Batard]

Jesus Christ. Yeah, that's. Yeah, well, that's because any. It's really a sad predicament we're in when I'm in charge of it in the house because I'm lame and he's the worst.

[Stugotz]

Well, what happened. What happened on Super Bowl Sunday that he turned off the television or the kickoff was nearly missed because he was.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was giving a speech to the crowd about how it was all going to be and how the rules were and that we all had to be quiet during commercials, though he was saying it during a commercial, and he had the wand that controlled the thing, like, in his hand. And he's, like, waving it around in circles. And then he's like, I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. I said. Well, I said, what's that thing in your hand? I may have overreacted slightly.

[Greg Cody]

Another crisis song.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Thank you, Earlene. Good talking.

[Greg Cody]

Go back to work. Earn money. Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's what I do.
