Transcript

[Greg Cody]

What did you steal?

[Mike Ryan]

Secrets.

[Zaslow]

Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg's best film in 20 years. Are they people? No. Are they human? Oh, my God.

[Mike Ryan]

Spielberg does this better than anybody in history.

[Zaslow]

I can see it.

[Greg Cody]

They're going

[Zaslow]

disclosure day. Reading PG13.

[Mike Ryan]

Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

[Zaslow]

In theaters Friday. Get tickets now.

[Mike Ryan]

Against the spread. Against the spread.

[Zaslow]

Against the spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours, Mike. World cup starts tomorrow, and I am not hesitating one bit. Host nation Mexico. They're taking on South Africa. Former host themselves. I like Mexico here, minus one and a half. If you open the brand new DraftKings sports app, you can get the market price minus one and a half at plus 133. So that's my pick there. Greg, over to you.

[Greg Cody]

I'm gonna stick with the world Cup. This is the match everybody's talking about. It takes place Sunday in Philadelphia in group E. It's Ecuador against the official world cup team with a Greg Cody show podcast. That, of course, is Cote d'. Ivoire. We don't call it Ivory Coast. It's Cote d'. Ivoire. They're getting a half a goal. Cote d', Ivoire, the underdog by a half a goal. I'm gonna take them outright. The elephants of Cote d' Ivoire are gonna rampage to a victory on Sunday.

[Mike Ryan]

Zaslow, do you think that we have anything around here better than Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody has anything better than when Greg Cody starts laughing? And you know that for sure you have succeeded because his laughing is soon going to turn into a cough. You know it's gonna turn into a cough.

[Tony]

It's automatic choke.

[Mike Ryan]

And it is the punchline that never fails to deliver. When he coughs after laughing, it's when

[Tony]

you know you said something funny.

[Mike Ryan]

Another thing that you should be heard

[Zaslow]

about, that's when people laugh.

[Mike Ryan]

Historically zas that you should be wounded by the fact that all over the country now and perhaps internationally, you did

[Zaslow]

it as well as you could with that.

[Mike Ryan]

People are singing now. That's what I'm talking about. Like, it's stuck in people's head. Your catchphrase? Yes. Wives and husbands are being annoyed by their significant others singing. That's what I'm talking about.

[Tony]

It's probably my biggest catchphrase. And you're telling me that everyone is going to credit it to him?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, well, they used to be your biggest catchphrase. Mine now. Hey, that's what I'm talking about.

[Zaslow]

Last outlaw.

[Mike Ryan]

Mine now is a phrase that he Used that. I would make a superhero's poster phrase. Mine. I'm the Captain now. Is the previous incarnation of that. He just shortened it to Mine now. Your catchphrase. Mine now it's aggressively alpha.

[Tony]

He's used to it. Stealing my shit.

[Zaslow]

He likes it.

[Greg Cody]

Truth hurts. Hey, that's what I'm talking about.

[Zaslow]

We got it.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you guys get annoyed when Mike Ryan says Padawai?

[Zaslow]

I like doing that.

[Greg Cody]

I did.

[Tony]

Can I be honest with you? It took me a good 10 seconds to understand what word he said there. I didn't know who they were playing.

[Zaslow]

Or Padaway.

[Greg Cody]

No G in there.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Either one. Man.

[Zaslow]

It actually gets me to a topic that did. Are you guys aware that some countries have changed their names?

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Zaslow]

Like, it's not Turkey anymore. Right?

[Greg Cody]

Turkey A. Right.

[Zaslow]

It's Turkey A.

[Greg Cody]

Turkey A.

[Tony]

No, it's not.

[Zaslow]

I'm with you.

[Tony]

No.

[Greg Cody]

They officially changed the spelling.

[Zaslow]

It's Turkey A. It's no longer Turkey.

[Tony]

How's it spelled now?

[Zaslow]

Ruins everything. It's like Turkey, but with a yay at the end.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. It's T, U, R, K, I, Y,

[Tony]

E. I will not be spelling it like that moving forward.

[Zaslow]

You know about the Czech Republic. Czechia now. And Bosnia is not just Bosnia anymore. They added Herzkovina.

[Tony]

What are they going by?

[Mike Ryan]

Uzbekistan is still Uzbekistan.

[Zaslow]

Yeah. But yeah, Turkey A. That's going to get some. That's going to take some getting used to.

[Mike Ryan]

Is Uzbekistan the most fun to say of all the countries? Like, I do enjoy it. If you had to. If you had to nominate it, though. If I went in with a hand of. I've got a couple of Uzbekistans. Do you have a funnier country to say? That's just fun to say off the lips.

[Tony]

Georgia.

[Zaslow]

Georgia.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah. Georgia didn't make it this year. I like Cote d' Ivoire for obvious reasons. It's funny.

[Mike Ryan]

It's your name. I mean. No, it's because it's the first word. Curacao is your name. Ooh, that's a fun one.

[Zaslow]

Madagascar.

[Mike Ryan]

How do I feel about Espana?

[Zaslow]

Espana.

[Mike Ryan]

It's not.

[Zaslow]

It's Espana.

[Mike Ryan]

It's not in English, though. Like, I guess. Yeah, I guess you're allowed to choose from other languages. But I was saying Paraguay is really fun.

[Zaslow]

That's why I like saying it that way. Paraguay. No, Paraguay, buddy. Feels good to say. Definitely.

[Mike Ryan]

How Wemby would say it.

[Zaslow]

Uruguay might be even more fun than Paraguay. Uruguay, wow. Imagine if they place banger name.

[Mike Ryan]

What about Nicaragua?

[Zaslow]

That's a good one. It's not Uruguay. But it's good.

[Mike Ryan]

I think it's in the realm. I think Nicaragua.

[Zaslow]

Do you say Chile? No. Chile. You say Chile.

[Mike Ryan]

Is Zaz allowed Colombia to just not say Turkey the way that it's now said?

[Tony]

Yep, sure.

[Mike Ryan]

Can who gets to decide that Zaz

[Tony]

or the country be saying it the way that I've been saying it? Turkey.

[Zaslow]

There is a hang with him. On an episode of Morally Abhorrent, it was posited that Turkey got sick of not being the top result. When you Google it, get used to it.

[Mike Ryan]

You're stubborn in your ways here. This is just how you're going.

[Tony]

Like can't be called one thing for a thousand years, and then all of a sudden you tell me I've been saying it wrong. You're Turkey.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I've just learned this recently, and I'm asking this question legitimately because Trista shamed me on it. I said Iran because it's how I've been saying it since the 90s, and Iran is correct. And so I've had to correct that because I had it wrong 30 years ago when it felt like the news was also saying Iran. I thought that's how I learned of what was happening in that country to begin with.

[Zaslow]

I'm gonna stop being stubborn about it. They were Ivory coast for a long time, and then it became Cote d' Ivoire, and I just didn't feel confident in saying it.

[Tony]

What about. What about the country that, you know, has the airways and did the World cup four years ago? How you say that?

[Mike Ryan]

Well, but hold on. That's changed because it started as Qatar, and then we were corrected again and again and again with Qatar. That's America. Yeah, I know, but I'm not. I have trouble with that. So you're going to have to settle for Qatar. That's.

[Zaslow]

Try it. Just try it. Just try it and try it in an accent. Resist this. Don't do it.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't want to do this.

[Zaslow]

I don't care about you.

[Greg Cody]

Try it.

[Zaslow]

I'll stand your ground.

[Mike Ryan]

I feel like the way you're saying is as quickly as you could, culturally appropriate. I feel like you're.

[Zaslow]

That's how they want to be called.

[Mike Ryan]

I know, but the way that you're. The way that you're saying it sounds like a dangerous accent.

[Zaslow]

Yeah. Don't do this, Dan.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not going to do it.

[Zaslow]

Got them. I know. I'm good. I can pass for Syrian. I've been told that several times. Hey, are you Syrian? No. You can pass. I know. Now I know. Syria is a different country, but, you know, it's close enough.

[Greg Cody]

I mean, you can't say Ivory coast anymore. Please don't. The official name of the country is Cote d'. Ivoire. It's in French. There are French speaking countries.

[Tony]

No chance.

[Greg Cody]

I'm saying don't say Ivory Coast. No Cote d'.

[Mike Ryan]

Or.

[Zaslow]

I know where your favorite is. Libya.

[Greg Cody]

Georgia. Georgia.

[Zaslow]

Georgia. Tony, you know that moment at a party or at a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks? I know it. Well. It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy. Yeah. You usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo. Walking like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it, but again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering, keep it Cuervo.

[Greg Cody]

Keep it Cuervo, baby.
