Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Miami Dolphins Meltdown & Tua Debate

• Dolphins' Leadership Drama: The crew discusses controversial comments made by NFL veterans Dez Bryant and LeSean McCoy regarding QB Tua Tagovailoa’s leadership.
  • Billy Gil mocks the former players’ analysis:

    “These are two of the least informed you will find spouting public opinion... they just shout into the fire.” (03:20)

  • They parse McCoy’s dig at Tua:

    “The can't be real part is a note he's hitting there on purpose. That Tua is some management guy… our leader can't be real.” (03:17–04:00)

  • Roy breaks down the "pointing fingers" analogy:

    "If you point the finger, it's three pointing back." (05:02)

• Tua’s Postgame Comments: The show debates if Tua was too harsh in calling out teammates, and whether Coach Mike McDaniel supported him.
• Broader NFL Themes: The shifting media narrative—Dolphins becoming the league’s “laughingstock” and how thin the line is between being seen as competent or a disaster.

2. Greg Cody's Bizarre Sleeping Style & MRI Drama

• Greg's Knee Woes:
  • Greg Cody teases a potentially torn ACL and arthritis after showing his MRI scan, poking fun at the inscrutable images:

    “It looks like a Picasso painting. What the hell is that?” (07:32)

  • Dan, self-anointed "King of MRIs," humorously interprets the scan:

    “The one on the left, look, looks like it’s literally screaming in agony.” (07:56)

• Revelation: Crisscross Applesauce Sleeping:
  • The group is stunned to learn Greg sleeps “crisscross applesauce,” with hands folded on his chest—supine, frog-like, and apparently, unique among humankind.
  • Billy:

    “No one sleeps like this, Danny.” (09:56)

  • The conversation devolves into a mix of fascination and disgust, culminating in live demonstrations and anatomical jokes about Greg’s “Olympian” left knee and shriveled right knee.
• Greg’s Defensive Brag:

  “I can sleep in a child's bed without a problem.” (19:08)

3. Music Rights & Public Domain Antics

• Royalty-Free Music Quandaries:
  • Billy laments lost intro music due to copyright issues. Christopher reveals John Tesh's Monday Night Football theme is technically accessible under their licensing.
  • Billy quips:

    “That music is royalty. I think Tash said, that's the best sports song there’s ever been…” (06:04)

  • This inspires attempts at public-domain musical alternatives—yet more fodder for crew squabbling.

4. Baseball Playoffs—The Dodgers, Mariners & Beyond

• October Baseball Glory:
  • Dan and Billy praise the Dodgers’ postseason dominance, lauding their rotation as “perfectly built for October.” (17:28)
  • The Mariners are dubbed “America’s team” with a global (Japanese) connection.
  • The group lightly mocks seeding and “America versus Japan” narratives, referencing Ichiro’s legacy.
• Jeremy’s Baseball (and Chaos) Corner:
  • Jeremy contributes chaotic energy writing unwanted songs for the show (“Jeremy took that as an invitation to come in today and write a bunch of songs that we don’t want to hear.” — 02:44), and shares minor league baseball asides.

5. Miami’s College Football Surge & Local Sports

• University of Miami Undefeated Hype:
  • Discussion centers on expectations for Miami’s football team, with Roy stating:

    “If they lose to any of these teams on the remainder of their schedule, that would be a massive disappointment… they should finish the regular season undefeated.” (44:26)

  • Mike Ryan and others debate if this pressure is fair—or a quick leap to sky-high standards.
  • Greg Cody is optimistic but realistic:

    “I think the betting odds would be that they finish 11 and 1. Nobody—you can't expect a perfect season.” (43:26)

• FIU Panther Love:
  • The show celebrates FIU’s win on Tuesday night, pausing for a shoutout:

    “I have more people reach out to me and say pause up, than ever before. What a game. I love Tuesday Night Football.” (46:00)

6. Miami Life, Zoo Miami Love & Greg Cody’s Podcasting Career

• Zoo Miami Monster Masquerade Plug:
  • Extended tangent promoting Ron Magill’s adults-only zoo party (“Monster Masquerade”), detailing ticket discounts and mutual appreciation for Ron as a Miami icon.
  • The group jokes about masquerade masks and “Eyes Wide Shut” costume parties.
• Greg Cody’s Podcasting Aspirations:
  • Greg reviews “quality control” for his eponymous show, brainstorming new co-hosts (“The Greg Cody Show with Larry Little”); the group erupts into mock pitches for podcast names.
  • Christopher:

    “How about the Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody and Larry Little?” (24:47)

  • Greg:

    “I've offered to bring Christopher in on the name of the show and he won't do it.” (24:58)

[Billy Gil]

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.

[Greg Cody]

I'm sorry.

[Billy Gil]

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

[Dan Le Batard]

I've done it.

[Billy Gil]

And now here's the marching man to nowhere Fat Face and the habitual Liar.

[Greg Cody]

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

[Christopher]

Tuesday is here.

[Billy Gil]

Fire is clear.

[Greg Cody]

And Mike Licken.

[Billy Gil]

Go. I don't think we're allowed to use that music. That's going to cost us money every time we do It.

[Greg Cody]

Tony said, we're good.

[Billy Gil]

No, this can't. This can't pay you. How we do this. We're not allowed music rights. I miss our music. I want music that's royalty free.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're good. Yeah.

[Christopher]

We found out accidentally from John Tesh yesterday during the interview. He's like, you guys want to hear a funny story? And he's like, you know that Monday Night Football song, Like, that was just, like, a public domain song. And we have access to certain, like, public domain sites. And we, like, started looking up. It's like, oh, we, like, pay a subscription to the owner of that song so we can technically use that song even though it's a Monday Night Football song. And, you know, we had a little talk, and now it's kind of like we're gonna use that song until someone says we can't use that song anymore. And then Jeremy took that as an invitation to come in today and write a bunch of songs that we don't want to hear.

[Billy Gil]

Well, we've reached the portion of the proceedings where Mike McDaniel has lost 17 of his last 26. And when the FL climb on this, you get these guys, Dez Bryant and LaShawn McCoy. These are the voices that sometimes shout their opinions, and these are two of the least informed you will find spouting public opinion. And they run over to where the fires are, and they just shout into the fire. Lashawn McCoy. The quote is, they don't respect Tua. This is why the Dolphins can't win the big games. This is why. Because our leader can't be a leader. Our leader can't be real. The can't be real part is a note he's hitting there on purpose. That. That two is some management guy. That two eyes is the two is what here Can't. That our leader can't be real is what.

[Roy]

So he's saying. Yeah, I guess he's saying that he's. He's not, like, part of the team, right? He's not. He's not like one of the other players.

[Billy Gil]

Well, he's management calling out. He's management snitching on the players for being late and not being professional, saying they're their fault. It's the leadership. Problem is everyone but me.

[Greg Cody]

Well, based on what Tua said, I. I think he could sooner be accused of being too real for calling out his teammates and management. McDaniel the next day does not support what he said. So that's why I say McDaniel really threw his quarterback.

[Billy Gil]

And now Des Bryant says, I guarantee a lot of the players don't respect to a tua. Points the finger, and here's where he's got him. And you can't dispute this. He points the finger, and literally four are pointing back at him. And he got him there.

[Roy]

That's not true. If you point the finger is three pointing back.

[Greg Cody]

Right? The thumb is pointing the way the finger is. Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

That thumb to go in the other direction.

[Roy]

I'm doing it right now.

[Billy Gil]

That's one.

[Roy]

That's three pointed back.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's throw up a gangster. Be careful with that. Don't show that on his. Should be sinking ship.

[Billy Gil]

The ship be sinking both.

[Dan Le Batard]

Really? Yeah, that's what I said.

[Christopher]

You know, Keurig's an American company.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank God.

[Christopher]

I've been looking it up. I thought, like, you know, the way that they had. And they had, like, the umlaut on the side. I thought it was, like, Dutch or something.

[Greg Cody]

No, German.

[Christopher]

It's American. They're faking this. And the inventor of the K Cup, John Sylvan.

[Roy]

I don't know that fool.

[Christopher]

Yeah. Get ready to hear what he said. John Silvano, a man who's amassed a fortune from K cups and all that jazz. I regret inventing the K cup.

[Dan Le Batard]

Shut up.

[Billy Gil]

What?

[Christopher]

Sylvan.

[Greg Cody]

Whoa. Come on.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's something you say when you're rich. Oh, I regret being rich. No, you don't.

[Christopher]

Exactly right.

[Billy Gil]

Please. That's not a respectful use of that music.

[Greg Cody]

I think it is.

[Billy Gil]

That's. That's. You say it's royalty free music. I say that's. That music is royalty. I think Tash said, that's the best sports song there's ever been in the.

[Dan Le Batard]

History of this show. The one time that you're disciplined about royalties is when we're allowed to play it.

[Christopher]

How's this guy come out? With what face does he come out? Go get Cara. Does this guy come out and say, I regret inventing this thing that's made me billions of dollars because of recycling. Get out of here.

[Greg Cody]

With you. It's a great convenience.

[Christopher]

It's nonsense. He doesn't regret anything.

[Dan Le Batard]

It reminds me of when Popovich was.

[Billy Gil]

Like, you know what?

[Dan Le Batard]

I really wanted to be a D3 coach. And I didn't want to do all this NBA stuff after $100 million.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. Yeah, you could say that.

[Roy]

Go quick.

[Dan Le Batard]

How about the poor D3 who's trying to make a buck?

[Billy Gil]

Greg Cody just.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is he okay? Is he okay?

[Billy Gil]

Come on, Bells.

[Roy]

Roy, he might need something.

[Greg Cody]

No, I pressed the button.

[Billy Gil]

He he also grabbed the microphone, too. I think, Roy, you got to help him with the microphone as well.

[Greg Cody]

I'm leaning back purposely for the sake of my knee.

[Billy Gil]

Jack.

[Greg Cody]

And luckily the microphone reaches me, so we're all good.

[Billy Gil]

How is your knee? Like what? What is the state. Have we gotten a report yet? Are you going to have surgery? Are you going to need surgery on your knee? You're limping. You're playing through pain.

[Roy]

You got that bad knee.

[Christopher]

Olympian.

[Billy Gil]

You couldn't make it yesterday. You couldn't make it to the show yesterday, right?

[Greg Cody]

I was on Monday. I'm on twice a week. Dan, that can't be good.

[Dan Le Batard]

We're just looking at on the screen. Is that your actual mri? There's no way, right?

[Greg Cody]

It looks like a Picasso painting. What the hell is that?

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, I don't know what that is.

[Dan Le Batard]

Looks like that knee's happy to see me.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, trick knee. I'll find out. I'll find out Friday morning whether I'm having surgery.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's, like mold growing on the middle of your knee there.

[Billy Gil]

What is that?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know if Tony TC can read an X ray, but I've had more X rays and more MRIs than you can even imagine. The.

[Greg Cody]

The MRI is magic.

[Dan Le Batard]

The one on the left, look. Looks like it's literally screaming in agony.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it is.

[Billy Gil]

Who's tc?

[Greg Cody]

Tony Kalatti.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I know what he's talking about, Dan. Don't worry about it. We're doing a different show here. We have a couple. We have one theory is because Greg doesn't know how this happened, he has no idea how he injured his knee to the point of potentially needing surgery.

[Roy]

I know how it happened.

[Greg Cody]

Old.

[Billy Gil]

Well, bowling didn't help.

[Jeremy]

Gc.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, there's bowling. That's a theory. But this looks like potentially a wear and tear injury. And we know that Greg Cody sleeps crisscross applesauce. What? Wow.

[Billy Gil]

You've never heard this? What? Wait a minute. You don't know this story? It's one of the all time classics. I learned Greg Cody sleeps crisscross apple sloss when I learned that he had mashed potatoes in his head in New Orleans because he drank too much. And I thought it was weird. Then I revealed it one day on the show. No one knew it, and we told him he's strange. And no one in the audience sleeps that way either.

[Roy]

So he just. You sleep on your back. Crisscross applesauce.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

And.

[Greg Cody]

And here's what's sad about.

[Roy]

Can't be good for blood flow Like a frog.

[Greg Cody]

What's sad about it is that instinctively I still begin to do that only to be reminded that my right knee won't do that.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm just picturing GC at like 11pm Just like, Ow.

[Christopher]

He's exactly right.

[Greg Cody]

That's exactly what happens.

[Christopher]

So if your one leg can't. Do you sleep like a number four?

[Greg Cody]

Oh, no, I just. I. I resigned myself to having to sleep straight legged, which is awful.

[Roy]

Do you ever sleep on your stomach? Crisscross applesauce?

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Greg Cody]

Don't be crazy.

[Billy Gil]

But the other one's also crazy, right? I think that's such a funny visual.

[Greg Cody]

Others do it, but.

[Billy Gil]

So is the one we have. Though less funny than. But the real one is also funny because a really dumb vampire would sleep like this where the joints and the bones are so rickety that they would decide to form over 40 years. No one sleeps like this, Danny.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's another layer to it. He folds his fingers on his belly.

[Greg Cody]

I do. I lace.

[Dan Le Batard]

So picture crisscross applesauce and then fingers.

[Greg Cody]

On my upper chest like that. He looks. He looks.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not gonna.

[Greg Cody]

I'll say it.

[Dan Le Batard]

He looks dead.

[Roy]

Can I try what face down crisscross applesauce would look like?

[Dan Le Batard]

You have to have incredibly loose hip flexors.

[Billy Gil]

By the way, didn't somebody say that Roy had to bring him ottoman? Didn't someone? No, he has.

[Greg Cody]

It's elevated.

[Billy Gil]

Okay, but so do the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can we get a shot of this?

[Billy Gil]

All right, we do have a shot.

[Greg Cody]

Warriors in the 16th century called Ottomans.

[Christopher]

All right, hold on.

[Billy Gil]

You're not in the right place. We don't need to see empire French cake. We don't need crazy JC with that dump. This is inappropriate with the top of.

[Greg Cody]

A building contorted himself Furniture store called.

[Christopher]

The Ottoman Empire would sell.

[Roy]

Man.

[Dan Le Batard]

Those are proper ankle socks.

[Greg Cody]

Now do it normal. Do it on your back. Jack.

[Dan Le Batard]

Jack.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's see.

[Billy Gil]

All right, now that's her to the LED. Zaz, we need to back you up a little bit. Nope, you're going the wrong way. Please. We don't need to see more of this. We need to more up.

[Greg Cody]

That's the epitome of I need you.

[Billy Gil]

To be careful here.

[Greg Cody]

Lock those fingers.

[Billy Gil]

All right, this is what I need you to do. Zaz. And I'm in a panic situation. Okay? We're a big serious television show. We're on peacock. You're dangerous right now to giving us peak October. I. I want to celebrate baseball and peak October. And you need to Be careful with the way you flop around back there. But I want you to do it. You just need to get closer to the led and I need to see you sleeping like Greg Cody slept in New Orleans when he had mashed potatoes in his hair and he.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, lace your fingers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Good. Good hips on Zaz, by the way, doing the crisscross applesauce to the front is hard.

[Billy Gil]

Are you guys claiming that this is the reason that the knees are in. Are shot because he sleeps this way and finally his knees have given out?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, Dan. So I've actually read the MRI and I'm looking at it right now. I can see the small tear in the ACL right here. Actually.

[Greg Cody]

Look.

[Dan Le Batard]

So right here, this is. This is the ACL right here. There's actually a little tear. Right?

[Christopher]

You gotta hold the mic near you so we can hear what you're saying.

[Dan Le Batard]

As you can see right here might go down a little bit. So right here, this is where the ACL is. Right here, Right here. If you see that little shadow right there, that's actually the tear in the acl. What really concerns me is what's going on here, right? Screaming in agony.

[Christopher]

Is that the mold coloring?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, what I described as mold. That's got to be like really bad arthritis where your knee is. So you got to be worried about that. Why does it look like Toby Maguire saving the Metro rail and he ripped in half? Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

I do have arthritis as well, but most people my age do.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

We're having trouble getting Zaz in exactly the right position that I need him in so that he is sleeping. I don't believe. Chris, if you had to guess, there aren't many things around here that shock everybody. Do you guys believe that if I throw it out to the audience that we will find a great many people who sleep this way? A couple of people who sleep this way. He's the only person or nobody ever who has ever slept this way.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't. None of us have ever encountered this in our lives, Danny. I think we're getting 97%. I think you'll get 3% of people. There's just some people out there that mess with polls.

[Greg Cody]

I got my supporters, I got 3% support.

[Billy Gil]

But if you ever met someone else you've heard to sleep this way.

[Greg Cody]

No, but when do you have that conversation?

[Billy Gil]

Well, that's why we're having it.

[Greg Cody]

Hey, Jack, nice to meet you. By the way. How do you. What's your sleeping pattern? What are you. You straight legged like most people, you cross them. What are you doing so I don't have that conversation.

[Christopher]

AI says that this is not typically used for sleeping. Sleeping. This position can cause spinal misalignment and pressure on nerves, potentially leading to pain or numbness.

[Greg Cody]

The nerve of that Mm, he's right.

[Christopher]

Don't look at an Olympian like that.

[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. You do do this.

[Billy Gil]

You love to just get excited about everything.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, Junior, Stugats. I had to school you and explain.

[Billy Gil]

To you he was gonna take you to Augusta.

[Greg Cody]

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

[Christopher]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the st.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's nothing I could do for that damn battle.

[Billy Gil]

Okay, Roy, he's gonna need your help because the frat boy's not helping us today. Mike's a Mariners fan.

[Greg Cody]

Bro. Bro.

[Billy Gil]

Jeremy's in the other room making chaos and music. And Jeremy also wants to talk baseball. It is unfair with the Dolph what the Dodgers have. It's funny how unfair it is. They could beat you more ways than anyone. They're built specifically for October. I've never said that about a baseball team. Their roster is just perfectly built for October because they've got a bunch of aces who could pitch. Like the starting pitching they're getting is like no. 1 in the sport. They got a complete game last night when there hasn't been one of those in the playoffs in eight years.

[Dan Le Batard]

Mariners have a good staff, though. Like, they can go pitcher for pitcher. You know about that BE Wu? I don't know about. You know about pitcher for pitcher. Strong BE Wu is very handsome. Have you seen B. Wu?

[Billy Gil]

Let's go to Jeremy and talk baseball for a second. Talk Mariners, talk Brewers, talk Dodgers. It is funny to think that the brewers hit a home run on the first pitch and then can't do anything the entire rest of the game. Springer did this in the Toronto game the other day. Hit a home run on the first pitch. And then they lose 10 to 3 because Seattle is America's team. And Billy. Is anyone here to declare that it's going to be anything other than Dodgers, Mariners. And everyone's rooting for the Mariners because it's global. Because it's Japan against America. It's. Ichiro might pitch him. He might not. Because Seattle's got a big, enormous underdog.

[Christopher]

Who? America and Japan versus America. Because you said that Seattle was Japan.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's Japan versus Japan.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Also, America is on Seattle side.

[Roy]

Can I just tell you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right.

[Roy]

Ridiculous way to sleep. Ridiculous.

[Greg Cody]

No, it's so comfortable. It's plus it. Like if I'm ever in a. In a hotel that's got extraordinarily short beds.

[Christopher]

Mm.

[Greg Cody]

Made for me. Right. I can sleep in a child's bed without a problem.

[Billy Gil]

What kind of brag is that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Gc.

[Christopher]

That is.

[Greg Cody]

I'm made for a short while.

[Dan Le Batard]

You said that?

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

I'm made for a short bed.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's crazy, man.

[Greg Cody]

Okay. You know, I'm not an NBA player. I don't need a seven and a half foot bed. Give me a five foot bed. I'll deal with it. Why? Because I sleep the way I sleep. It's perfect. And if I want to sleep long legged, I have that option.

[Billy Gil]

Well, not without rotting your knees out. It sounds like they're creaking. You can't even sleep that way. Your body's like. Your body's retreating to a frog. Like form at night, desiring something. And your knee pain is making it so that you cannot do it.

[Greg Cody]

Then why do I have a pristine left knee? Ah, Answer me that.

[Christopher]

That is a good question. You'd think it would affect both knees.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, did you MRI the left knee?

[Greg Cody]

No, because I have no pain.

[Christopher]

No pain.

[Greg Cody]

I have the left knee of an Olympian.

[Billy Gil]

I. Tony, I need to call you out on something. Billy made a face. Neither of us understood it. You. You proclaimed yourself the king of the MRIs, and.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's right.

[Billy Gil]

And Tony rolled his eye.

[Greg Cody]

Or.

[Billy Gil]

I'm sorry, Billy rolled his eyes. What do you mean? You're the king of the mri.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know what I'm looking at when I'm taking a look at an EMRI.

[Billy Gil]

No, but you also said you know MRIs like nobody's business.

[Christopher]

No, he said I've had more MRIs.

[Dan Le Batard]

Than anybody here is what I said. Yeah, which is.

[Billy Gil]

Which is true. As a flex, not a flex.

[Christopher]

It's a weird flex.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not as a flex. Just as letting you guys know that I've been through the machine, baby. That's what I'm saying.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've had multiple knee surgeries, so I know what I'm looking at. There's been doctors that have put up knee things and been like, yeah, look, this is what's wrong. That looks like that.

[Greg Cody]

It looks like this.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why did I tell you exactly where the ACL was, Dan?

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Because I know.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Tony and I can relate.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you.

[Greg Cody]

But you know what? The MRI system needs a technological improvement.

[Dan Le Batard]

We do big.

[Greg Cody]

Why is it so loud? I had to wear the magnets. I had to wear earphones with bad music playing for 25 minutes because the technology, it's like you're.

[Roy]

You didn't tell them what to play for you.

[Dan Le Batard]

They should have had the Great Cody shows.

[Greg Cody]

You don't get it.

[Dan Le Batard]

They didn't have the Great Cody show.

[Greg Cody]

I requested it, and they're like, what?

[Christopher]

So the way it works, my understanding, is a bunch of magnets, like, spinning around in a circle, right? Yeah, but what else spins around in a circle? Vinyl records. And what happens when they're spinning in a circle, music is playing? Why is it that MRI machines can't have the same technology as vinyl records, where you're playing music with every spin? A note place?

[Greg Cody]

Right. You know what I just discovered? I just discovered listening to my own podcast. I must have pressed a button or something that, whether I want it or not, it now gives me the words that are being said on my podcast.

[Christopher]

I love that.

[Greg Cody]

Except it's misspells my own name.

[Christopher]

Yeah, I hate that.

[Greg Cody]

We got to rewind those C O D Y.

[Roy]

You record your episode and then you listen to it multiple times.

[Greg Cody]

Twice. Okay. I listened to it the first time as a listener. Might I listen to it the second time as a narcissist with a critical ear. The second time, I'm listening for things that we could have done better, things that weren't done, that should have been done, that I asked Yeti to do. Not that I'm throwing him under the.

[Billy Gil]

Wow.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, I'm like, play. Play what I just said. Because we're an edited podcast, so I can say this in the middle of a podcast. Yeti, play what I just said at. At 0.5 speed. And he doesn't do it, so it sounds extra slow.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

And he doesn't do it.

[Jeremy]

Wow.

[Christopher]

It's called quality control. You guys wouldn't know anything about that.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you, Billy. Billy gets me.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, I mean, Billy's a good producer.

[Greg Cody]

He Damn. I mean, crazy. Thank you, mvp.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Most valuable producer. No offense, Christopher.

[Billy Gil]

The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody.

[Dan Le Batard]

Work.

[Billy Gil]

No, I mean, you said a couple of things. You're supposed to be doting today.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just did.

[Greg Cody]

He's Correcting you. What a doter. Good job, Roy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you.

[Billy Gil]

What's on this week's episode?

[Greg Cody]

We have Dolphins legend Larry Little talks about, you know, growing up in segregated America and how that went for him and in. In his life today talks about the current Dolphins. Interesting. He's got a new book out that he's pimping. So that's why we had him on when we did. I should say I. I would have Larry on all the time. We've had him on the podcast once before, and because of his current appearance, he is moving up the chart on our top 100 guests of all time. But it's good. I talk a little bit about my knee. We talk, do a Dolphins autopsy. So it's a. It's a fun episode.

[Roy]

You should have him on again next week.

[Greg Cody]

Why?

[Roy]

Because you said you would have him on all the time.

[Greg Cody]

Well, it's, you know, a figure of speech. Okay.

[Billy Gil]

I think you would crush it if you shared the stage with hall of Famer Larry Little and let him lend your credibility. It. What a lovely thing it would be if in retirement, you and Larry Little started a podcast. Just, you know, the two of us. Yeah, just the two of you. Reminiscing Larry Little blowharding as he does, bloviating about the Dolphins because he's an old hall of Famer who played the game when he was £260. Hall of Fame offensive lineman. I saw somebody in Alabama catch screen pass at 360 the other day and line up in the wild cat. He would have shed Larry Little. Proctor would have shit hall of Famer Larry Little.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think cam scatter, boost to 60.

[Billy Gil]

Insane. What those people are doing with their bodies is totally insane.

[Christopher]

Greg, can I make a suggestion for the name of your podcast with Larry Little?

[Greg Cody]

Sure.

[Christopher]

It's the Little things and that kind of thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think George Kittle has the Little thing, the Kittle things, right?

[Christopher]

Kittle things is different. And you just talk about the little things in life, you know, that kind of thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

GC what about the Greg Cody show with Larry Little?

[Billy Gil]

He would never share the stage with anybody.

[Christopher]

How about the Greg Cody show with Greg Cody and Larry Little?

[Greg Cody]

You know what? I like that. Yeah, I like a lot. Yeah, I like that a lot. I've offered to bring Christopher in on the name of the show and he won't do it.

[Christopher]

Really?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

Why? That's crazy.

[Greg Cody]

I want it to be the Greg Cody show with Chris Cody. And he's like that because it's funny.

[Dan Le Batard]

The way it is now.

[Greg Cody]

Well, it is different.

[Christopher]

What if you were to say the Greg Cody show with Greg Cody and Yeti and then your name is out. Would then that bother you?

[Greg Cody]

Also not a good name.

[Billy Gil]

Or the Hee Haw 3. It would have music. If all of a sudden you tied all the things together instead of criticizing. Yeti's producing.

[Greg Cody]

Yeti knows he's listening to this show right now. He knows I love him.

[Billy Gil]

Jeremy's been warming up in the bullpen for now two hours. We should go to him. He's also got some music. What is his music about? Because I need to tell the audience here. Forgive me here for stopping the show in its tracks. Just because Ron McGill is, I'm gonna say, if not the biggest treasure this show has. Like certainly there aren't very many that are as big a treasure as this guy. Guest for 20 years. Always working for free. And super grateful for our audience because we are Zoo Miami's biggest donor. Like this audience just really protects the animals in a beautiful way. And he's having a giant party. But he hasn't been on the last couple of weeks because of crowded things here. And I just want to make sure that the audience knows and that we are paying attention to. Ron has an event that you can support here. And it's an event that comes with a discount to our listeners. And it's a really fun party in Miami. We've got two of them this month. This is one of them. Ron McGill does a really fun party at the zoo. It's 20 restaurants. Miami doesn't do great things like this. Very many of them. And we should support Ron and the zoo. Obviously I'm gonna do that because I love that kink. But Ron McGill event.

[Dan Le Batard]

We'll all say we went even when we don't.

[Christopher]

He's really Dan's friend.

[Billy Gil]

I think Billy goes. I think Billy and Mike have both had zoo experiences that have grown their relationship with Ron McGill. Do I have this wrong?

[Dan Le Batard]

Weird way to phrase it? I've had a zoo experience or two that have grown closer to Ron mc.

[Christopher]

Not entirely sure what that means.

[Dan Le Batard]

That is.

[Billy Gil]

Are you alien?

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you an alien?

[Greg Cody]

Are you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you not a human being anymore? Is there a skinwalker amongst.

[Billy Gil]

Are you a lizard person?

[Christopher]

Dan. No one talks like this ship be sinking.

[Billy Gil]

He's got a. Are any of you going? Because. Because that's how you say it.

[Dan Le Batard]

There we go. Much better. Because experience got you closer to Ron McGill. Or any of you craving sustenance at all.

[Billy Gil]

Am I.

[Dan Le Batard]

Am I hungry? Tea? Lunch?

[Roy]

Roy.

[Billy Gil]

Give people the details. So that they can support Ron McGill the way nobody in the world supports Ron McGill.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, it's the Monster Masquerade at Zoo Miami. Is this October 18th starting at 7:00? Folks, this is adults only. Don't bring your kids.

[Greg Cody]

All right, all right.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can probably meet up with Robert McGill. He's probably going to be dressed up as a vampire. And he's offering this code, RONMM25, that's R O N M M25 to get 15% off your tickets. And you can find those [e-mail] monster.

[Christopher]

Do you go in a costume to this or there's just a costume concept? Like is. Is everyone expected to be dressed up up or just some people are dressed.

[Dan Le Batard]

A masquerade.

[Jeremy]

So.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Christopher]

So it covers the eyes.

[Roy]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

Dress up.

[Christopher]

Wait, you cover the eyes?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. In a masquerade. You wear a masquerade mask. Those kind of things.

[Roy]

That's like an Eyes Wide Shop party.

[Dan Le Batard]

Halloween edition. Do you like those? I like those. I don't like those.

[Roy]

I want to be on the record.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't like those.

[Billy Gil]

I want to go to one.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, I'm with you, Jay Z.

[Christopher]

You're with him.

[Dan Le Batard]

I've seen that movie bg And I've.

[Greg Cody]

Always said to myself, I'd like to.

[Roy]

Check one of those to watch.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know what? That creep around in my cape have a mask, no one knows who I am. And just head on out of there.

[Roy]

Trying to participate.

[Dan Le Batard]

Trying to participate.

[Christopher]

Have you seen that movie?

[Roy]

You know my style.

[Dan Le Batard]

One of those big phallic noses.

[Christopher]

Greg, you watching? You participating in.

[Greg Cody]

In the masquerade event? Yeah, I'm not attending.

[Christopher]

Really?

[Greg Cody]

No, I'm just kidding. I might be there. What if it's.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, that's such. And wait a minute. That is.

[Greg Cody]

I might be there.

[Christopher]

Yo, chicken time.

[Greg Cody]

What?

[Billy Gil]

You're not going to be there? How fast?

[Dan Le Batard]

You can't even walk.

[Billy Gil]

Come on, bro. Are you going to walk the. You pretend to be Ron McGill's friend and then you just grift off his stories for profit. That's a whack lie, gc. You write his books, go swear to his books and take all the money because he's a sucker.

[Greg Cody]

What a well spoken chicken.

[Billy Gil]

You've written two books. More than you've written back in my days around here. Just grifting off of Ron McGill's legacy.

[Greg Cody]

A chicken using the word grifting, huh? That's very impressive.

[Billy Gil]

Ron McGill event. Ron, we gotta respect that music more than that. This can't just be everything that Jeremy Farts out. We have another event that you guys will enjoy and go to because we got a Miller Lite watch party and it is a block party. We are going to the hood. Alex Rodriguez's hood, not our hood.

[Dan Le Batard]

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. But I want to talk to you about Miller Lite with my good friend Rose. Hey, Rose.

[Greg Cody]

Hi, everybody.

[Dan Le Batard]

When we hang out and we hang out often, we're friends. I consider us friends.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, me too.

[Dan Le Batard]

We're often toasting the good times. And what am I toasting with?

[Billy Gil]

With Miller Lite.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's right. Miller Lite. Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose Red. Game day. It just hits different when you got a Miller Lite in your hand. From jaw dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment. 50 years of great taste, simple ingredients and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room. And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant. That beautiful white can. How beautiful is that? Is that you doing the sound of a can opening? Is that your favorite sound?

[Billy Gil]

No, it is a horsey.

[Dan Le Batard]

A horsey. All right, we'll stop doing that. And here's a kicker. Miller light is just.96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. The original light beer since 1978.

[Billy Gil]

5.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's right. And still hitting different five decades later. You're so good at this, Rose.

[Billy Gil]

I know.

[Dan Le Batard]

So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time. Look at us. We're a great tag team. High five again. Can you do that? That beer sound one more time? And the horse sound one more time. I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Lite sound is good. Miller Lite, great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com shan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate. Responsive Blee Miller Brewing Co. Milwaukee Wiscon 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce ounces. No, it says. Oh, says, I don't know about you.

[Christopher]

Don LeBatard.

[Billy Gil]

Surely every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing, that she married. She married Larry David.

[Greg Cody]

I do. Yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television, in my humble opinion. And. And to my credit, my personality.

[Billy Gil]

In my humble opinion, followed by, to.

[Greg Cody]

My credit, my personality hate. Curb your enthusiasm.

[Billy Gil]

St. Oh, wow.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not gonna say Larry David.

[Billy Gil]

Okay.

[Greg Cody]

Patterned himself.

[Billy Gil]

You copy? All right, put it on the poll, please. Jude, you did. Greg Cody, copyright being an long before Larry David.

[Christopher]

This is the Dan Levitar show with the St.

[Billy Gil]

So I, I, I think I can say I don't have this wrong. Is Doral as. As Cuban as where we're headed right now?

[Dan Le Batard]

Doral is not nearly anywhere as Cuban.

[Billy Gil]

As where we're going.

[Dan Le Batard]

So Doral as well.

[Billy Gil]

So. Well, have we ever done what we're doing as our block party in the hood? A Rod's hood? Have we done that in 20 years in Miami before?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, we did do a Miller's Ale house. Ooh, that's a good Kendall State. That was a Braylon Edwards jets game.

[Greg Cody]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

What year would have that been?

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you a human being? What happened? Where is Dan?

[Roy]

That's a sentence.

[Dan Le Batard]

Where is Dan? Zaz, take a look at what happened. Pull off his mask.

[Roy]

It might be like, where would have that been?

[Billy Gil]

Braylon Edwards is just. It's one hell of a callback to say that the last time we were in Cuban Miami was. Would have been 2009. The last time the jets had a wide receiver that anybody cared about like.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bray.08, I think is when that trade happened.08.09, didn't Ted Ginn catch a deep pass in that game?

[Billy Gil]

So forgive me. The place that we are, though, right now with the jets and the Dolphins is everyone in the sport laughs at the bottom of the AFC east, which is being fought for by. If you're looking at the history of this league as a historian, Greg Cody. The Patriots have dominated the sport for 20 years. While the Dolphins weren't making a playoff game, the Patriots were 73 in Super Bowls. Like, just, just asinine when you think about it. Asinine there. Whatever the Chiefs hope to be, may it be as great as whatever that it's not even half as great yet. Even though it's done in a more condensed time. What that Patriots team did for 10 years is a total insanity. During that time, the Miami Dolphins, the Jets and the Bills fought for the bottom of the division. The Bills went 17 years without winning a playoff game. And now the Dolphins are the laughing stock. And instead of laughing at the jets, today, the country is still laughing at the Dolphins and talking about the apocalypse around them, while Dez Bryant and LaShawn McCoy don't talk about the Jets.

[Christopher]

And speaking of the Dolphins, they're going to be playing the Ravens October 30th. And you can watch that at Flanagan's in Kendall. That's where the watch party.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have a Flanagan's experience.

[Christopher]

Yeah. October 30th.

[Greg Cody]

I'm not. You're going to call me a homer for this. I'm not being a homer. To say that the only winless team in the league. League, the team that Miami beat, is the laughing stock more than the.

[Billy Gil]

Oh, the only reason I say it is because now you've added the gas of, oh, we know the jets don't have a quarterback. Oh, but do we also know that the Dolphins don't have one? Because it's like you're. The only reason the Dolphins would be the story today instead of the jets is because. Oh, dear God, they can't even get that the quarterback and coach can't fight in Public about anything like that. That's, that that's incompetent. That, that the quarterback says the thing after the game while everything's going down that makes it look like he's pointing all the fingers that way. And then the coach has to do the next day, no, don't point him at me, man. Come on. He's misrepresented because they've all lost everything. Because this is what the lack of leadership looks like when you walk, when you fall to 1 in 5. Like my guess is it's not what it would look like if Tomlin were 1 in 5 right now. Maybe I've got that wrong. I mean, I think.

[Roy]

Sorry, Greg. I think part of it is. Look, the jets have a first year head coach. So even though they're embarrassing, it's expected that they're going to be crappy. The Dolphins, it's the same coach they've had, it's the same quarterback they've had for the most part the same, you know, Tyree kill the same wide receiver they've had and oh my God, they have completely fallen on their face from what they were. So I guess it's more interesting then.

[Greg Cody]

I'm just saying that Tua this past Sunday had the game winning drive with less than a minute left. He was eight for eight in that drive. And then the special teams and the defense sabotaged the whole thing.

[Roy]

Why don't they kick it out of the back of the end zone? Why don't they do that? They got the ball at the 41 yard line. Like why aren't we kicking out of the back of the end zone there?

[Greg Cody]

Special teams defense just completely.

[Roy]

The Chargers did it after they scored. Chargers.

[Billy Gil]

Guys, can I just take the larger. I know everyone's tired of the Dolphins, but just the larger conversation on what Billy's saying, which is if I have Vrabel do, all of a sudden the Dolphins somehow have a 4, 2 victory because at the end of the game, Vrabel knows how to clock, manage Bill Belichick and then all the other disciplines that fall after that. If the difference between winning and losing is nothing, it's microscopic, it's air. Even if you have a terrible defense is one organization knows what it's doing and the other one does not know what it's doing, no matter who the players are. If I say to you the Dolphins were well run enough to be by some miracle today 5 and 4 and 2 because whatever they, they, they won the game at Carolina, that they were leading in double digits and they won The Patriots game by because somebody fumbled and they win. The Chargers game. If the conversation were different around all of this with the winning, none of this feels like this. It's crazy to think about it from that perspective that, that this team is epically bad and is going to prove it and all of them are going to sink in the shit of it. But it may not actually be quite that bad because they could be 4 and 2 if they were just running this much better that didn't lose all the games at the end. That makes it so they make the tackle on Herbert. Somehow somebody make that they know that lad McConkey in the open field is a nightmare. You can't let him go 40 yards with one guy on him unless you have no defense and can never stop anyone because everyone's going to rush for 200 yards against you. Like the idea that with this much coaching you guys are telling me they could be 4 and 2.

[Roy]

That's that league though, right? Like that's that league. It's not like when the good team plays a bad team in college and the good team wins by 28 points points. The good team plays the bad team in the NFL. It's a one score game a lot of times. Like that's that league, right?

[Christopher]

Yeah, well, no, and I mean the Bills game was also one score game until the end. Also like they play them close and the Bills have been viewed as an elite team even though it's been pointed out by juju they haven't beat anybody. Right. So like they're even if they were 4 and 2, they would be a bad 4 and 2. We'd just be convincing ourselves that they weren't.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

That's the whole point.

[Roy]

They would never be 4 and 2 because they're a bad team and you lose close games when you're a bad team.

[Greg Cody]

The fact that the Buffalo Bills are still the betting favorite to win the super bowl tells you how even this is and how much there's a lack of who would you put ahead of them?

[Roy]

Who do you even put out of them?

[Greg Cody]

I mean, that's just it. There's like Green Bays up there obviously, Philadelphia probably still, but there's no great team. There's no dominant team this year. In the case of Miami, yeah, they could be four, two, at least three and three. And I don't think it's all coaching. I think it's bad players, particularly on team. You know, Chris Greer is the guy who let them start a season with the worst cornerback play in the entire NFL. That's not coaching.

[Billy Gil]

If, if I may, because we haven't done much college football. Lucy Rodin will be around here in a little bit. I think Jessica will be as well. I did want to mention that the University of Miami, the last time they lost at home was to Louisville. Correct.

[Dan Le Batard]

So that's at Louisville.

[Billy Gil]

So. And Louisville is a 14. They're two touchdown underdog. And I think, tell me if I have this wrong, even though Mario Cristobal's team will be doubted and we will see an ACC championship when we see it. But, but to date they look like the best team in the conference. Now that it's not FSU or Clemson Conference anymore, now that the conference is wide open, but they've got a game against a team that probably represents the best chance to beat them. If it's not Georgia Tech on the remainder of the schedule. Because Louisville can go anywhere in any, any, any part of the country and beat anyone on the right day.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're four. They're four and one. Jeff Braum is. I really respect him as a coach and the matchups that he's had against Miami. He knows how to attack. Miam.

[Roy]

You won't be easy. I'd assume you won't be easy.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, traveling on the road, you don't think we'll see, but I think that this line's a little inflated. You look across the nation, as impressive as Miami's been, you ask yourself, is there a team in the nation right now that you foresee going undefeated the whole way through? I don't think we're at that point yet. Although Miami is very balanced, I think. Look, Friday nights inside the ACC have proven to be a bit spooky. I respect the coach. They have some talent. They have a NFL wide receiver. They have a great back in, in Brown that's from Homestead. I think they can hang around that number.

[Roy]

Dude, if the Canes lose to any of these teams, it's going to be a massive disappointment.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're there where now you're after seeing it, you're like, it's disappointing if they don't have a perfect regular season.

[Roy]

I'm there because of what we have seen from the Canes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right on.

[Roy]

And because of, you know what, who these other teams are.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's great year for Mario Cristobal. You are disappointed if they don't finish a regular season undefeated. That's, that's, that's great. He did his job.

[Greg Cody]

I think the betting odds would be that they finish 11 and 1. Nobody. You can't expect a perfect Season. But I, I'm sold on, um, and I'm not going to doubt um, until they.

[Christopher]

Oh, but hold on.

[Billy Gil]

I don't, I don't want to just skip. I don't want to just skip past what just happened there though. Hold on a second. When we talk about James Franklin gets fired at 34 and 8 and we saw Mike McDaniel go from 9 and 2. I'm a genius to. No, you're. You'll go up in flames in two years around here. Here Mike Ryan is looking at sports radio legend Zaslon saying, really? That's. Oh, really? That's the standard again here. So you're telling me right now, a month into the college football season, Mario, not merely that the U is back, that guy who will fire coach every 10 minutes says no. Mario Cristobal has the expectation that if they don't go undefeated, he has not done his job correctly.

[Roy]

That's not the standard hindered to go undefeated. But we're in the midway point of the season. I know what I'm watching. All right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tougher part of the schedule seemingly behind you.

[Greg Cody]

Yep.

[Roy]

And at this point I think it's okay to set the expectation that if they lose to any of these teams on the remainder of their schedule, that would be a massive disappointment. And if I say that, then I'm also of course saying that they should finish the regular season undefeated. When, When Mike Ryan believes and you could be wrong. Right. That Louisville is. Lol, Dan. That Louisville is the toughest team remaining on the schedule and the Canes are a two touchdown favorite, then I'm okay with saying the Cane should finish this regular season undefeated.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, the Cane should win a game in which are two touchdown favorite. We agree there.

[Billy Gil]

I would say though, just having seen what you're saying about the really fun half first half of the season where there are plenty of teams that look good to me but not as many that look as good as Miami. I don't think there are a lot of teams in America that are going to be a 14 point favorite on Louisville. Like just if I take any team in America, Ohio State maybe, but I don't think anyone else is going to get two touchdowns. So the money's telling. You know, they, they're two touchdowns better. They're. They're two touchdowns better than Louisville. But I.

[Dan Le Batard]

They take exception to this.

[Greg Cody]

One syllable. Louisville. Oh, maybe two.

[Billy Gil]

Is that how Schnellenberger said it?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, Louisville.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's right. It's a battle for the boots, Dan. Did you know that we battle for boots. We won the boots the last time they play for a trophy, these two schools. It should be a pipe. Come on. Societal shift.

[Billy Gil]

Billy, I'm sorry that we didn't do any fiu. The FIU winning at Western Kentucky.

[Christopher]

Oh, last night we were all Panthers. I'll tell you what, I have more people reach out to me and say pause up, than ever before. What a game. I love Tuesday Night Football. I'm gonna say that right now. If you think people are watching the.

[Billy Gil]

World Series, FIU breaks it.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're not watching the World Series.

[Billy Gil]

10 game, road losing streak, FIU break.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love your head, coach.

[Christopher]

That is a great Willie Simmons. Oh, shotgun. It's his nickname.

[Dan Le Batard]

More water.

[Billy Gil]

Good point, Gilly.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you doing here?

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.

[Billy Gil]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo, Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.

[Christopher]

Com.

[Dan Le Batard]

Please drink responsibly.

[Billy Gil]

Cuervo.
