[Chris Cody]

Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show, the podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast? I'm sorry.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm not gonna apologize for that.

[Chris Cody]

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.

[Greg Cody]

I've done it.

[Chris Cody]

And now here's the marching man to Nowhere Fat face and the habitual liar.

[Roy Bellamy]

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings.

[Chris Cody]

The Crown is yours, Chris Cody. I don't know how you guys feel about the folks like Ethan or for example, Jason, the director, Jason. He has suggested that this not be shirt Tuesday. He has suggested that because Mike Ryan is jealous of Billy Gill's wild Willie Wednesdays, that Mike Ryan should have his own branding on Mondays. And Jason came to me today, he's never done this before, and said, I have my own branding. Can you put that up somewhere, Jason? Can you put that up so that Mike can see that we now have mild. Mild Mike Ryan Mondays or whatever it is that your branding was for this segment. Not that. Not the hockey show.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yes, everyone's an idea man now.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, we'll get back to that in a second.

[Greg Cody]

There it is.

[Chris Cody]

There it is. It's a bit of beef jerky of some sort. And it's mild Mike Monday. And this was Jason's idea, everybody. Jason's idea.

[Dan LeBatard]

I see what they're going for with that sauce packet. I won't say the name of the company.

[Mike Ryan]

Are you liking that?

[Dan LeBatard]

We all know what company is going for there.

[Chris Cody]

Is that the branding you want, Mike? Jason was working on it all weekend.

[Stugotz]

I don't like it.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, we won't do that.

[Dan LeBatard]

Billy doesn't like Wild Wednesday. We can't win around.

[Stugotz]

No, he approached. He approached me after the last Wild Willy Wednesday. He's like, hey, I know they were joking about it, but I'd really like to do this for you. I'm like, no, thanks. I'm good.

[Dan LeBatard]

Above and beyond. He did it anyway.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. He's like, nope.

[Chris Cody]

So I don't get my. Like, Manic Mike Monday would be something.

[Stugotz]

I don't want a day.

[Chris Cody]

But mild mic. Like, why Mild Mike Monday? I think.

[Dan LeBatard]

Cause he's trying to go the opposite of wacky.

[Chris Cody]

I'm just.

[Stugotz]

I'm good. I don't need a day. Thank you.

[Dan LeBatard]

Cut to Jason. Take take three.

[Stugotz]

Today's a good day to listen to me. Take it off. Just take it down, please. Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

It's growing on me.

[Chris Cody]

So we will get back at some point to Mild Mike Monday, but. Right, clear it. It's.

[Stugotz]

I mean, you guys haven't been listening today. Clear it.

[Chris Cody]

Right now. It's Shirt Tuesday. Greg, Cody, I want to just marvel at Roy. You guys did understand. You guys saw that in the second clip that we played, Roy never stopped talking, and you heard not one single word that he said. Roy was trying to broadcast through the delirium. And Roy, did you get a word off that anyone heard a word?

[Roy Bellamy]

I don't think I heard myself. It was so loud in there.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, but that. So what got achieved there?

[Roy Bellamy]

Probably nothing. You get ambient. The ambiance of the place that we're in is the De Flamingo, formerly known as Casatiki. Thank you for housing us for the live stream, but it was loud. I just could not hear myself talk.

[Billy Gill]

Roy, that's where you got to lay out the great broadcasters. Let the crowd tell the story.

[Greg Cody]

Right.

[Billy Gill]

All of a sudden, you hear the roar of the crowd. Once it simmers down, all of a sudden, Brad Marchand scores.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, I'm no Doc Emerick, so. Yeah, you're right.

[Chris Cody]

But how does this work, though? Has Casa Tiki or the Dead Flamingo ever had quite this much hockey in its bones?

[Stugotz]

No, I don't think so, but I was watching videos. I, I, I don't think I've ever seen so much ass being thrown.

[Billy Gill]

Place was electric.

[Stugotz]

There was a lot of ass being.

[Billy Gill]

There's nothing like the Dead Flamingo on.

[Stugotz]

A Friday throwing ass. It was crazy.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a minute. Ass was being thrown?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, Roy was throwing ass.

[Greg Cody]

I was, I was. I thought that the. The Panthers took ass. That's what Zazlov.

[Chris Cody]

I don't want to.

[Dan LeBatard]

We've covered this on Mystery Crate. Roy doesn't wear a wedding ring. So it's confusing out here sometimes for the least.

[Ethan]

What does it wear?

[Billy Gill]

A wedding ring.

[Roy Bellamy]

It was stolen.

[Dan LeBatard]

That's what he says.

[Billy Gill]

How long ago?

[Roy Bellamy]

Wedding day.

[Dan LeBatard]

But you should see him out in the wild.

[Billy Gill]

When did you get married?

[Roy Bellamy]

I don't know.

[Dan LeBatard]

We've done this story before on the show and on Mystery Crate, but we can rehash.

[Greg Cody]

Go get another one. It's only one. Only one. I'm with you, Roy. I feel you, dog.

[Stugotz]

15 years.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. You don't need it.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, that's true. I don't need it.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

I bring that up to say sometimes on a Friday night when Roy's out, people get confused.

[Chris Cody]

He's not throwing it, Chris, Just so that you understand. Okay. Even though the story's been told by Roy twice, to some, it might be a new story that he had his wedding ring stolen on his wedding day. Perhaps not to just be skipped right past because it does make us want to ask follow up questions. Right? Like on your wedding day, I'm guessing you immediately get in trouble with your wife.

[Roy Bellamy]

No, no, because her ring got stolen as well. And my ring got stolen. Apparently I was followed home and she was followed home the day before, the night before the wedding. And somebody broke into our car because.

[Dan LeBatard]

We were all at this wedding and if you guys all remember, it took a while to start and it was because they were looking for rings.

[Chris Cody]

It's a horrible story. It really is, like truly horrible.

[Mike Ryan]

Awful.

[Dan LeBatard]

And he's been married for like nine years.

[Billy Gill]

It's like.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm not gonna.

[Greg Cody]

I just.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hey, it got stolen nine years ago.

[Greg Cody]

It's kind of beautiful in a way. It's like. It's. It's. The material things of the world don't matter. They got married and I don't know what they used. It's substitute for a ring. But it could be a really beautiful story. That's why you don't replace it. Because nothing matters to their relationship other than them. Roy, there's fighting for you, baby. Because you in a bad. You're in a bad way.

[Roy Bellamy]

Come on, man.

[Greg Cody]

I'm fighting for you, baby.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, I did go to the Walmart next to Hard Rock Stadium and bought a replacement ring.

[Greg Cody]

For real?

[Chris Cody]

Real.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's where you go.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, that just hurt my heart. Put it on the poll at Le Batard show. No, I don't want to be Classist about this. I don't want to be elitist about this. Okay. But when I just don't think Walmart with engagement rings, and I may have this wrong. This may be just. I haven't been in Walmart in a while, so I don't know what their jewelry situation is.

[Dan LeBatard]

You asked, like, a cash. A cashier, like, where are your wedding rings at?

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, that's exactly what I did.

[Chris Cody]

So forgive me, do I have this wrong? When I asked the question legitimately of if your wedding day has your wedding ring stolen and then you have to go to Walmart to get replacements, that's good luck. They say that sentence is good luck. Yeah, I just said is good luck.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, I've been married for 10 years, so.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, happy anniversary, Roy.

[Roy Bellamy]

Oh, thank you.

[Billy Gill]

So she wears a ring, but you don't.

[Roy Bellamy]

Correct. I've. I've asked her, hey, maybe I should get a wedding band. You know, maybe you. I asked her just, like three or four times in 10 years, like. No, it doesn't matter.

[Mike Ryan]

It doesn't matter. I don't wear a wedding ring. What's the big deal about a wedding ring? I need a. I need a.

[Dan LeBatard]

And you're fighting them off, too, though.

[Roy Bellamy]

It'S the public show of your taking.

[Chris Cody]

His narcissism runs so deep on love, he thinks the ring is the reminder that he's in love.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, why do you wear a wedding ring? I'm asking all my. My fellow married people out there.

[Chris Cody]

Because you're taken. You're not available. My wife really likes it on Friday at Casa Tiki or at the Dead Flamingo. My wife really likes it when ass is being launched to my trapeze across the floor. Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. It is a little reminder if you. If ask is launched, you catch the ass and then you feel something. Not only do you feel the ass that you caught, but you feel a little ring that says, hey, why'd you throw that ass back?

[Chris Cody]

I'd like to know again whether Latin. Latin hockey is now a thing in the depths of Dade, South Florida, when Roy can't be heard because at a club I associate at a place I associate with Latin, the place is paying enough attention to what would normally be a soccer game, to hockey for me not to be able to hear.

[Mike Ryan]

Walter.

[Chris Cody]

Cronkite over here delivering the news.

[Roy Bellamy]

You heard Ethan, though.

[Chris Cody]

Ron. Oh, my God, why can't we hear anything he's saying?

[Dan LeBatard]

I love that Cynthia. Like 40 seconds in there just gives Roy, like, Roy, something good happened.

[Mike Ryan]

Wake up.

[Chris Cody]

Metal Arc media. Somebody I'm imploring you. Stop Ethan now. If you guys let this keep going, if you let this keep going, it won't get better. It won't get better. When he's around microphones, Roy is trying to speak, and I can't hear him. But Ethan, Mike's work fine. And that's exactly where our show gets torn apart, soap opera style, because the third voice comes for the first voice, and it gets cutthroat. I've heard Ethan's opinions on hockey more than anyone here. God almighty. God almighty. Does Ethan want his opinions heard on hockey?

[Dan LeBatard]

I got to defend Ethan in that moment. You want chaos? You want screaming like you don't want just laying out.

[Chris Cody]

Roy was trying to broadcast and what Roy was. I couldn't hear Roy. You could hear Roy at one point.

[Dan LeBatard]

I hear game two. I hear Roy say at one point.

[Chris Cody]

Anyway, moving on to other things, I've moved too far away from Greg Cody's feud with White Hat. It's the most attention I've gotten from him in about six months because he wants to go right back at White Hat because it allows him to promote his podcast and delve into his every narcissism, because he's got a feud, and this hockey final has felt less good than the last one. When he inserted himself in the middle of the final with McDavid is overrated. Yeah. So he's holding on to the embers of this particular feud to broadcast to. To promote your podcast with your feud with White Hat. That I was told by Chris I would find disappointing. That I would find your feud with White Hat to have died a little bit on your podcast.

[Dan LeBatard]

I would say that because Dan, you know Dan, he likes to. When he gets people like, hey, hey. Like you guys were, you know, they. They both said things. That's a good point, Greg. There was a lot of, yeah, I see your side of it type stuff.

[Mike Ryan]

Look, look, they were cowards. The. The what? Chaos Podcast. They were cowards by not inviting me on to defend myself. So being the bigger man, I invited White Hat onto my podcast in the episode that dropped today, and we had a conversation. You know, we had a conversation. I think at one point he did reluctantly apologize for having called me Cena.

[Dan LeBatard]

I mean, you also praised Connor McDavid. So you guys were both kind of like, I see your side a little bit.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, I praise Connor McDavid, like I always do. Prerequisite for saying, but he's still MC overrated and will be until he wins the Stanley Cup. Has he won the Stanley cup yet? No, I don't think so.

[Chris Cody]

Him being defiantly stubborn on. Well, my point's not wrong yet.

[Mike Ryan]

No, it isn't. As a matter of fact is writer and rider with every step he takes closer to not winning again. Now, had they lost the other night and they're down 2 nil. I might not be quite as loud on the subject today.

[Dan LeBatard]

To be perfect, the one thing I do want to play from this was our promo video that we put out. I guess Yeti did this without. This is a good job by Yeti. Without even talking to me. He had my dad, hey, go in the garage, do some promo talk. I'm going to put together a thing. So I want to play our promo video for white hat versus senile old man. And I want you to tell me how many beers my dad's had.

[Mike Ryan]

That kind of thing.

[Dan LeBatard]

I wanted to have this guy on the show and respectfully, they're going to like. I would have put two forks through my eyeballs.

[Mike Ryan]

Pete Blackburn, it is time to dance to the music. You went on your podcast and. And called me a senile old man.

[Ethan]

But he's a senile old man.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, you know what? Because you didn't have the. The nerve to have me on your podcast to respond to that and I.

[Dan LeBatard]

Would have put forks in my eyeballs and spoons straight through my ears.

[Mike Ryan]

So here's what happened. I demanded that you be on my podcast to dance. To dance to the music. And that's happening when we drop Monday morning. Will you apologize? I doubt it, but let's find out.

[Chris Cody]

It's a good promo. Great job by Yeti.

[Stugotz]

Your tongue is pretty heavy.

[Mike Ryan]

That was great.

[Dan LeBatard]

That part's great. Blackburn singing I am.

[Chris Cody]

I am mortified. Mortified by the shape of your garage. What the. The area you're prowling.

[Billy Gill]

Exposed brick back there.

[Chris Cody]

Disgusting.

[Mike Ryan]

I know. The door could use a paint job.

[Chris Cody]

No, you. I need that door.

[Dan LeBatard]

The paint has been coming off.

[Chris Cody]

No, that door has looked like that for 30 years.

[Billy Gill]

That's a door.

[Chris Cody]

That.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. David. Door. Roy's.

[Chris Cody]

You have to explain it if you have to explain it. David Dore. Roy. No, you can't. It can't be. You have to explain it.

[Mike Ryan]

That is a bad door.

[Chris Cody]

Greg. How are you not embarrassed by this? Chris, how many. How many beers had he had when he did this promo?

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know.

[Mike Ryan]

Would he even say that? Was I slurring my words a little bit?

[Stugotz]

Yeah, you're tongue.

[Chris Cody]

All right, let's watch this again. This wrestling promo. This is the Height of it. It doesn't get better than this. But just no. Look at the whole garage. Do me this favor, okay? Try not to be distracted by his bloated drunk face and his just general narcissism.

[Stugotz]

He's not denying it. He just sat back and took that accusation.

[Dan LeBatard]

Did he have you do that yesterday afternoon?

[Chris Cody]

Greg, how many beers? How many beers?

[Mike Ryan]

I can't remember. I'll keep track.

[Chris Cody]

All right.

[Mike Ryan]

My wife have this guy on the.

[Dan LeBatard]

Show and respectfully, that kind of thing. I would have put two forks through my eyeballs.

[Mike Ryan]

Pete Blackburn, it is time to dance to the music. You went on your podcast and and called me a senile old man.

[Ethan]

But he's a senile old man.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, you know what, Cuz? You didn't have the the nerve to have me on your podcast to respond to that.

[Dan LeBatard]

And I would have put forks in my eyeballs and spoons straight through my ears.

[Mike Ryan]

So here's what happened. I demanded that you be on my podcast to dance to the music. Dance to the music. And that's happening when we drop Monday morning. Will you apologize? I doubt it, but let's find out. Blackburn singing in the Dead of Night.

[Dan LeBatard]

That part made me laugh out loud.

[Chris Cody]

That door looks like it's out of the original Saw movie.

[Ethan]

I was thinking the same.

[Chris Cody]

That is a place where people are tortured and die horrible deaths. Nothing but suffering till the very end.

[Billy Gill]

His face is terrifying when he says that kind of thing. Imagine him leaning over.

[Chris Cody]

You're like, everything happening there is haunting. Connor McDavid's dad should be fearful that that cometh his way.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is my dad in a nutshell. It's a horrific looking door. And then Bill Cody's cage, right? Paying homage to his father right above.

[Chris Cody]

I want you guys to enjoy the celebration. There it is. Cody in all his power. Seven beers in on a Sunday afternoon.

[Mike Ryan]

Pretty good guess.

[Chris Cody]

Seven, eight beers in that door. Tell me it's not out of the movie Saw. Can you show me or play for me any of the podcast Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. His feud with the White House that.

[Dan LeBatard]

I just can't still get over. The fact that Greg, while being accused of being a senile old man earlier this week, started this episode talking about a colonoscopy. Like, I just. I still can't get over that.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not pandering to anybody. You know, I'm talking about what goes on in my life. The photos of my colon.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay, we don't need to get into it.

[Mike Ryan]

You need to put those in a frame in The Louvre. That's how wonderful my colon is. How many polyps? I had as many polyps as McDavid has Stanley Cups. Okay. That's what I want to say. Okay. And I'm not. I don't mean to rub that in. White Hat.

[Dan LeBatard]

We just kept calling him White Hat the whole episode.

[Mike Ryan]

I couldn't remember his name.

[Chris Cody]

You think. You think the joke is so good about having as many championships as you have polyps that you should make.

[Mike Ryan]

It's good. Yeah, it's really good. It's strong.

[Dan LeBatard]

Strong.

[Stugotz]

That number is three.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, you know, most people have a couple of polyps. To be honest with you. I'm 70 year old.

[Greg Cody]

You know that.

[Mike Ryan]

I have a beautiful colon.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm gonna take your word for it.

[Mike Ryan]

I had as many polyps as McDavid has Stanley Cup. It's a fact, Jack. Right there.

[Roy Bellamy]

Oh, you actually got it right. Good job.

[Mike Ryan]

Thanks, Roy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Have you guys talked about redoing the door? Like, has there been a conversation about redoing that door?

[Mike Ryan]

No, there hasn't.

[Dan LeBatard]

I know. I like it.

[Greg Cody]

Like, it would be weird, this ambiance. It's a garage for a man to be manly in there.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Greg Cody]

It looks. In the picture of him, he looks like a deranged cassowary. And it makes me so happy.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you.

[Greg Cody]

Look at that bag.

[Chris Cody]

Don LeBatard.

[Greg Cody]

I took my son to the barbershop, get a haircut. And my man gave out some limp dap.

[Roy Bellamy]

Oh, no.

[Greg Cody]

Damn, damn, damn stu guts. I disowned them. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here dishing out limp dap?

[Roy Bellamy]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Chris Cody]

I want to get back to for a moment here because of how much I enjoyed the weekend. Just sports being maximum sports and specifically what tennis does at its best. Because there are no teammates in tennis. After five hours, no one's coming to help you. You're in a historic match and you know what you're in the middle of. And I can tell you the stories back to heavyweight fighting. George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, all of sports leadership throughout time will tell you that the other person wants to quit too. The test of wills that is five hours in, you're tired, but you want something just as badly as they do. It stops being physical, becomes some sort of mental meditative state. And I would assume the very best of the best. Love it there. Yeah, love it.

[Stugotz]

We've just been talking about the theater, but there are some people in our audience that are hearing about this match and how good it was via our show. And we must tell the audience that sinner had triple match point three hours into this match and Alcaraz battled all the way back. In fact, after Alcaraz won in the fifth set, there was a graphic that said time since Jannik Sinners triple match point. Like this was an incredible, incredible comeback. I understand both people want to quit. One very clearly wanted to quit less, and that was Alcaraz.

[Greg Cody]

Except the thing about it that was so impressive and enjoyable to me is they're both incredible champions that fought back because normally in a situation like that, you get like a collapse. There were times. So once Alcaraz fought all the way back and took control of that match. Centers limping around, grabbing for cramps, but then retakes the match and we're like, damn, Alcaraz did all this and he's not gonna win. Then Alcaraz takes it all the way back and center's fights back. That's the mental toughness that I was speaking of. That's so incredibly impressive. And then it also was made even more enjoyable because the clash of styles like Sinners, a giant smashing server, power tennis player. And Alcaraz is this ridiculous. Like, he has power, too, but he's this ridiculous athlete that's twisting the ball on these absurd angles and gets to everything. Like, it's just so funny watching what looks like a wildfire versus a snowstorm, and you don't know who's going to win. And that's the part to me that got. That just got me so, like, entranced by this game or this match.

[Mike Ryan]

I have to say, I have to give a shout out to Coco Golf, though. I mean, we're talking about the men's match, and rightfully so. It was a marathon. It was epic. Coco Golf, who's from around here, lives about 90 miles north of here in Delray Beach. She. She just won her second major at age 21. She can be what we've been missing since Serena Williams retired. She can be that. I'm not saying she will be, but. But this is not a false alarm. Coco Gauff is that good. She just beat the world's number one player. It was two one versus two matchups this weekend, not just the men.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. And Goff, I think she was. She's been on the scene since she was about 14 or 15 years old. And I think we had expectations of her being as good as Serena. And again, I hate to keep harping on this mentality stuff, but particularly in these individual sports, for someone that young to deal with the level of disappointment and frustration that she's dealt with, and we've seen other athletes and tennis players specifically not be able to deal with it. For her to still be around and not have reached this Serena level and still be competitive. And in a match like yesterday, where. Or the day before, where the wind is blowing, it's tough situation. And it essentially broke Sabalenka. She still fought.

[Chris Cody]

I wanted, though, to address what you're saying. They're expected to be. Serena, like, that needs to stop. We shouldn't do that to anybody. Like that.

[Stugotz]

You really shouldn't do that to anyone. Anybody sets unreachable standards.

[Chris Cody]

So. So.

[Stugotz]

And it hurts.

[Mike Ryan]

Agreed.

[Stugotz]

WTA. It really does.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, just. That can't be it. Like, we're gonna go ahead and concede. Yes. That's the most powerful force I've ever seen in that sport. Totally changed it in terms of it becoming a power game, because it's not like Sabalenka is not playing power.

[Stugotz]

She's strong.

[Chris Cody]

But. But I think today's story is going to be instead about golf overcoming that strength. Sabalenka, sore loser. And. And so now a woman's match that pales to the men's match only because the males match was epic for all time.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Probably the second greatest.

[Chris Cody]

What happens is Coco Gauff's winning gets lost in that like can't even certain can't get even get out of the tennis thicket it of being celebrated the way that it should be for someone who can never and will never be Serena, no matter how much she wins. Because that ain't fair to do to anybody.

[Mike Ryan]

But. But to make clear, when I say she can be the next Serena, I don't mean I'm not counting majors. I don't mean she can win 15, 20 majors. What I mean is I think she has a chance to fill the vacuum and become the acknowledged face of American women's tennis. I think she has that and you.

[Stugotz]

Know, I think she does have it already.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know. You know, Keys, I mean, there's a couple of other women who are in the top top 10.

[Stugotz]

It's pretty clear it's Coco. And what was so cool about the French Open just on both sides was you had finals one versus two in each in each side, which on clay it's such a variable that is hard to predict. And there are so many specialists, you don't typically get that. And to have 1 versus 2 meet the mean in the final in both sides and also for those matches to deliver, it was a great weekend for the sport. I also thought Turner knocked it out of the park as a first time rights holder. They were fantastic.

[Mike Ryan]

I think it was a huge victory for Goff and the reason is that she won the 23 US Open. So it's going on two years now. When you win one major and you don't win a second one for a couple of years, even though it's just a couple of years, maybe some doubts creep in, you know. So the fact that she won that second major I think is huge for that.

[Stugotz]

And Sabalenka was on incredible form. She was absolutely mowing through people winning tournament after tournament. So for Coco to stand in front of that and, and take Sabalenka's best shot and make Sabalenka seem like a sore loser.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Stugotz]

Which is also changing the narrative. Remember the, the, the Olympic moment that Coco Gauff had where she kind of gave off sore losers. So for her to come out of that and, and put the shoe on the other foot and for Sabalenka to have this moment, honestly, it's a little disappointing because I think both are great.

[Greg Cody]

It was big for tennis too, not just golf.

[Stugotz]

Oh, yeah, I mentioned golf.

[Chris Cody]

No, no, no, no.

[Greg Cody]

I'm sorry, it wasn't you.

[Stugotz]

It was a great golf weekend as well. Canadian Open, was it?

[Chris Cody]

I want to get back to Coco Golf here explaining that this trophy is a little small. It's a bit like a water bottle. It is, yeah. I don't have this wrong, right. That as tennis took over sports for a day or tried to around what basketball was doing last night, you had an epic men's match, one that you remember because it's just stretching. It's stretching your day out, your morning out. And then you've got Coco Golf winning a trophy where she ends up being the. Is she gonna be the. The fourth story? Because Sabalenka sore loser talk is something that people are gonna turn into the story of her winning this tiny water bottle trophy.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hi, I just won French Open for Roland Garros. And this is the trophy that you guys see, the one that we take pictures with, do press with and all that. But actually, we don't get to take this home. This stays with the tournament and I'm going to show you guys the one we take home. It's a lot smaller. So this is the one we take home. It's like a mini replica of the trophy. And yeah, I guess to compare it, it's really small. So reference. This is a bottle, this is a cup. That's how small it is. But wow, you know, it's the memories that matter the most.

[Mike Ryan]

French Open not liking that.

[Chris Cody]

Is it the memories that matter most or do you want some good. You want some good hardware there, like how much?

[Stugotz]

I got surprise pool money. That matters the most.

[Dan LeBatard]

Not only is it small, but it just. It sounded flimsy the way it, like opened. It sounded like.

[Chris Cody]

But do we know very little about perhaps fine, fine merchandise like this? Is it possible that this is very well made and worth thousands of dollars? It should be, should it not?

[Stugotz]

It didn't sound like.

[Roy Bellamy]

It sound like 10.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I'm sure it's pretty valuable because they only give out one every year for each side, so it's probably pretty valuable. It's not something I think you would, well, I guess to put in a trophy closet. It's perfect.

[Chris Cody]

I bet you guys could look it up and find out what that is actually worth, because I'm gonna guess it's worth thousands of dollars. You guys think it's aluminum or made of tin. You think it's $99. You think you buy it in the same Jewelry place that you buy your Walmart engagement stuff out of gifts up. You think it's. You think that's 99, 99.99. I can get that trophy if I go. If I just go.

[Roy Bellamy]

Go to Amazon right next to the oversized tennis ball.

[Mike Ryan]

Does Walmart have a jewelry department?

[Stugotz]

Yes.

[Chris Cody]

I already apologize for this. Where were.

[Stugotz]

Well, you also brought it back to it, Dan.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, it's in the middle of the store, right behind the registers.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. I was in a Walmart yesterday for the first time in years. Didn't even consider that you could buy a ring there. That's crazy.

[Chris Cody]

Were you not here when we just discussed this?

[Mike Ryan]

Did you discuss that Walmart has a jewelry store?

[Chris Cody]

Were you not here?

[Mike Ryan]

No, I. I don't remember that being discussed.

[Dan LeBatard]

Shirt, Tuesday.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, all white hat there. It was onto something.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't remember that being discussed. Maybe I was doing show research. Sometimes I do. Sometimes when you. When you say, Greg, quit typing, it's loud. I'm doing show research, but he's a senile old man.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay, two minutes for not listening.

[Mike Ryan]

Replay. Replay. When that was discussed, I remember him saying that he bought his ring in a Walmart.

[Chris Cody]

I said, I'm going to sound classist and elitist here. I was not aware that they sold engagement rings at Walmart.

[Mike Ryan]

I said, that's not the same thing. That's not the same thing as asking whether or not they have a jewelry department. You can sell a ring without having an entire department.

[Chris Cody]

Did you not hear the penalty?

[Mike Ryan]

No, I hadn't heard that either.

[Dan LeBatard]

Minor penalty. Two minutes for not listening.

[Mike Ryan]

It's true. You know what? I accept that penalty because I wasn't listening.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, thank you.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, thank you. Thank you for being kind enough to accept the penalty.

[Stugotz]

The.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't agree with this one. I did.

[Greg Cody]

The shirt looks great though, buddy.

[Stugotz]

The small replica trophy is made of pure silver.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

So at 14 kg of silver, you take the market price in. This is all courtesy of artificial intelligence, by the way.

[Billy Gill]

So it may not be right.

[Stugotz]

Raw material value of around 11 to $14,000. If that is indeed pure silver. That's not true.

[Greg Cody]

The men take home a similar size trophy.

[Mike Ryan]

Right.

[Greg Cody]

Like, I think that's the only way that it would be. That it would offend me is if somehow they send four times, typically.

[Stugotz]

Although Nadal did receive a full size replica in 2017 after winning his 10 10th. A unique honor.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, yeah, that's fine. You got to get 10.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'll allow it.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you for allowing it, Chris. I will tell you guys, that I got scared there that all of a sudden because I don't know the, the value of or weight of gold or silver that I have from last week, a scar on me from thinking that a million dollars worth of gold would weight down a car so much that it couldn't move. And then you guys told me, Nah, it's about £9 worth of gold. When it came to silver, I was scared that you were about to say, no, it's made of pure silver and you can get it for $12 because whatever. I don't know that Nadal's is that size though. You're telling me like you're saying, I know he got the real one.

[Stugotz]

Nadal for his 10th, he got a full size replica.

[Chris Cody]

The male trophy has to be the same size. Does it?

[Stugotz]

Yes.

[Chris Cody]

Were you crossing your fingers, Chris?

[Stugotz]

For us, we're all man in terms of being. In terms of being a much smaller replica, yes. That's the case for the, the men's.

[Chris Cody]

Am I an asshole for. And is Greg an. For not knowing that Walmart had a jewelry department?

[Stugotz]

I think it just shows that you guys don't step into Walmart.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, it's not a new thing. Like, I feel like Kmart had a jewelry department when I was a kid. Like the same sort of stores always had a jewelry department.

[Dan LeBatard]

Walgreens.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I'm not sure that I.

[Stugotz]

Service merchandise service.

[Roy Bellamy]

Sears, Mervyn's.

[Chris Cody]

We're in agreement that it is a horror story beyond horror stories to have on your wedding day a robbery that steals the ring and then forces you to go to Walmart or anywhere in an emergency to have a part of your wedding day. Be trying to retrieve something that was stolen from you so that you can have a memory of the day that doesn't feel taken by somebody.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, my, my mom blamed me for it.

[Greg Cody]

Going to Walmart.

[Dan LeBatard]

Going to Walmart just feels rushed. It's not all that. It's not that I'm judging. Going to Walmart in that spot. If a ring is stolen. This is a big purchase. All right, we're going to slow down here and take a beat. We're going to get married and we'll get a ring. A later date.

[Greg Cody]

Hopefully it was insured, but I might be alone in this and like understanding that at that moment, it feels terrible. But I kind of think it's a cool story overall. At the end. It's like when you have this different ring, you're like, hey, let me tell you how this happened.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's much more exciting Than my wedding ring, wedding day story. They just were there and I put them on. Yeah, pretty boring.

[Roy Bellamy]

Being a victim is exciting.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, you guys are putting a good face on it. Being a victim is beautiful sometimes. Dominique did say earlier, it's beautiful.

[Greg Cody]

I think it is.

[Chris Cody]

It is memorable. I will give you memorable.

[Greg Cody]

Like if. If it were a ring that, like, stood out, was unique in its quality, and people are like, hey, it. It sparks the story. Like, why does Roy have a lime green plastic ring? Well, let me tell you, Princess Claire, about the day me and your mother got married. It was a tough. A heroin story.

[Dan LeBatard]

But now I left my car unlocked.

[Greg Cody]

Ten years later, we're still together, and that's all that matters.

[Chris Cody]

But if a wedding ring is indeed a symbol for love and nothing more, the idea that you would have the intimate and violation of having it stolen when symbolically it meant something to you as a gift to your wife, that was forever. To have it immediately stolen, symbolically, not beautiful.

[Greg Cody]

I think it's beautiful. We could agree to disagree. We could find. I mean, to each their own.

[Chris Cody]

It's human.

[Greg Cody]

I think it's beautiful.

[Chris Cody]

Greg returns breathless from his penalty with. With his books in tow and his publicity in tow. The Greg Cody show with Greg Cody.

[Dan LeBatard]

Thought you were going to say featuring.

[Chris Cody]

Featuring. Finally you got Greg Cody. We have more sound from his beef that went polite with White Hat. It seems like we're stealing the all. All the material and not giving anybody any reason to go check out his podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, there's plenty more in there, believe me.

[Dan LeBatard]

We don't have another clip. We had the promo wrestling video where he's hammered and we had the one that he's.

[Chris Cody]

All right, so we agree that he's. Ha.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I wasn't hammered. That's. I, I play along. Yeah, you know, when people say things like that, what am I going to do? Argue? I wasn't hammered. Okay.

[Chris Cody]

The NBA finals last night corrected themselves. And I would have said after how amazing game was that, I would assume that what will happen after that is the same thing that happened when Allen Iverson stepped over Tyron Lue to beat the Lakers in Los Angeles a million years ago and then lost in five games because, yeah, I, I think that's what's going to happen here. But what a charming thing that Indiana did in game one. I think it's what most people expect to happen. But when Indiana wins game one and wins that way, it makes it at least a more interesting series. It's the best possible result you could have gotten in game One. And then it corrects itself because OKC never loses two in a row. They. They always do that. They haven't lost two in a row since like 2023.

[Mike Ryan]

Wow.

[Greg Cody]

That defense is asphyxiating Halliburton and everyone on that team. Like, I remember watching the game last night and feeling like Siakam was like having a good game and then like he had a bunch of free throws. But then I looked at the. The box score afterwards. It's like he was 3 for 11. He was the most productive. It felt like. Or effective. Like play creator who was getting into the paint and he himself was getting destroyed.

[Chris Cody]

Well, I want, I want to ask you guys how you feel about when you're watching playing for the championship. We've talked so much. Shea Gilgeous Alexander is not going to work for the storylines you want on narratives when the markets are 25 and 47. How am I going to sell to the American people? Hey, you know how this thing wins? It chokes you out. It just chokes you out. Your offense will be extinguished because they've got athletes and like, look, I don't, you know, I don't know how to measure what Lou Dort does, but you're going to go 3 for 11 if you're Siakam. And it's no knock on Siakam torture chamber. But I'm saying, like, how do we sell that as next phase for the league? Nobody was doing that on narrative when they try.

[Stugotz]

I think game one did plenty to sell this suit series to the American people. And I do kind of think that looking at the ratings or arguing about the ratings is relatively lame. And I know it's a crutch for people that don't watch a series because I used it for Buck Suns when I did not watch that series or care about it. And I just pointed the ratings as affirmation. See, I'm not the only person that doesn't care about this. But it doesn't matter. The landscape of television ratings has changed so much that you just kind of got to totally disregard that. I'll worry about ratings when the broadcast. When the broadcasters and league worry about ratings.

[Billy Gill]

Exactly. And the same point, too. Like, ratings are for dorks. Who cares about the ratings are. Does the ratings change how the basketball is being played? No, it's the billionaires that own the companies are like, damn, the ratings are down. What is it? What do I give a about that? I saw great ball. Okay, if you're not watching for the ball, what are you doing? You're watching for the ratings. What are you, a dork?

[Mike Ryan]

All right.

[Greg Cody]

Talk about some ball. Dude, you worse than talking about ratings is talking about people who talk about race.

[Billy Gill]

That's what I'm saying. But I had to make my point known.

[Greg Cody]

It was already made.

[Billy Gill]

Do you like ratings?

[Mike Ryan]

Talk.

[Greg Cody]

I don't like ratings.

[Billy Gill]

Okay, Just making sure.

[Greg Cody]

I want to talk some door.

[Chris Cody]

But he's telling you, give him some ball. He want some. Give him some balls.

[Greg Cody]

Give me some Wiggins.

[Billy Gill]

So what do the Pacers do better than anybody else in the league?

[Greg Cody]

Except for I'm not here to take a quiz.

[Billy Gill]

Exactly right.

[Stugotz]

They come back.

[Mike Ryan]

Well said.

[Greg Cody]

They come back.

[Billy Gill]

They use their bench. Great.

[Dan LeBatard]

Right?

[Billy Gill]

You can, you can look at 8, 9, 10, 11 guys on that Pacer team. Be like, they can score. They can do their things. Who does it better? Oklahoma City, they finally showed it yesterday. Aaron Wiggins with 19 points, Caruso with 20 points. You have all these scores that come out of nowhere and, and fill these roles. And then you have SGA who's just efficient and quietly putting up 35 points. A game where it's like, okay, this is really easy when you pair that with the best defense in NBA history.

[Stugotz]

I know he had the moment. Game one. But it seems as though Halliburton against this defense is having a really cold time two games in and it may be too much to overcome. That being said, they did steal one on.

[Billy Gill]

That's all you do is steal one.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. And like Zaz mentioned on Friday, no matter what, they're going to have a game where we can level this thing up.

[Chris Cody]

2.

[Stugotz]

2. Back home at the very least.

[Mike Ryan]

Halliburton didn't even play that well in game one. I think he had like 15 points. He just happened to hit the game winner. But I will say Gilgis Alexander to me is a breath.

[Greg Cody]

Him too.

[Mike Ryan]

A breath of fresh air. He's a breath of fresh air. I love his game. I love that the MVP is a mid range jumper guy who gets to the foul line. We're not always talking about threes. Draining threes. He doesn't care that much about threes. Wonderful. Good for the NBA. Very good for the NBA. Because he's different than the usual star.

[Chris Cody]

Disagree on all counts, including how you said his name.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. You don't like that somebody who has a mid range jumper can win an MVP in the modern NBA.

[Stugotz]

I don't like the free throw stuff.

[Chris Cody]

As much because free throws and defense don't excite me.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you're spoiled. You're used to Something else.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I think the pushback. So the SGA stuff is really fun because it's unique. I think that's also why we find yoke is particularly fun, because it's unique. It's not something that we've become accustomed to, but I think that we are trying to pretend like we're some level of ball lovers that we're not. When we don't. When we're not honest about. The best to watch is somebody slashing and banging and doing exciting stuff that we grew up falling in love with. Like, we. We could pretend that SGA is something we love, which. No, not pretend. SGA is something we could. We love. But you cannot lie to me and tell me that you wouldn't rather see Minnesota go off in that situation.

[Billy Gill]

Well, of course, when you watch Edwards and the way he plays, you're like, oh, yeah, that's it right there. That's what the MVP should look like. But then SGA goes for 38 on 11 of 10 shooting. Or 10 of 11. Junior, put it on the poll, please.

[Chris Cody]

Juju at LeBatard. Show our ratings for dorks. Is it about knowing and speaking ball? Lou Dort. I know his name's not actually Lou, but. But that is the least imposing name that has ever had a.

[Billy Gill]

Should he go by his full name? Lou Gens?

[Chris Cody]

Lou Dort doesn't work for me as imposing.

[Billy Gill]

Is it Dort or is it Lou?

[Chris Cody]

It's the Lou that. It's the Lou.

[Dan LeBatard]

The Dort for me.

[Mike Ryan]

Lort's Dort.

[Dan LeBatard]

One syllable, Just Lou Dort.

[Chris Cody]

Is it the two? There's something about Lou Dort that doesn't work as a Dortcher chamber device.

[Greg Cody]

I feel like it's the or in it that's like. It's not. It's the.

[Stugotz]

I think it's the whole two syllables of the thing.

[Greg Cody]

You think so?

[Stugotz]

Yeah. Lou Dort.

[Greg Cody]

I think it's those specific syllables because I feel like you could hit somebody with something sharp if you had sharper syllables. It's just that it's like Lou the.

[Chris Cody]

Best, the baseball player. Ed Ott. Is it as funny? Ed Ott?

[Greg Cody]

Nah. Ed O. See, it's because it's sharper. It's Ed ot. It feels. It's punchy.

[Chris Cody]

But one syllable, Lou Dort. We're in agreement, right, that Lou Dort doesn't give off intimidation. But we are disagreeing about the fact that we're not gonna know how to cover a team that just strangles you to death. Like, how is that story that Next face of the league stuff.

[Stugotz]

I mean, when they have the mvp, it goes beyond just that, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Why are we afraid of they also.

[Chris Cody]

Score a lot of this is a new and unimproved and Levatar show with the Stugarts gamble on by DraftKings.
