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.
