Speaker 1 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Speaker 2 Cuervo.

Speaker 3 What are you doing here?

Speaker 4 Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 5 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 4 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 1 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 3 The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo.

Speaker 1 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 8 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 1 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 9 Proximo, Quervo.com, please drink responsibly.

Speaker 10 Cuervo.

Speaker 4 Billy, what is your degree of confidence in Greg Cody executing this new introduction today correctly?

Speaker 24 Two for two so far.

Speaker 12 So you would think, you know,

Speaker 12 he's got the reps in. He should be able to do it.
But is this a regression to the mean type situation? You know, and now he's flying a little too close to the sun and he thinks he's too good.

Speaker 12 And then all of a sudden, and yesterday we threw him off a little bit.

Speaker 26 I say we politely.

Speaker 13 Yesterday, you guys are very, very rude to Greg.

Speaker 27 Very rude to Greg.

Speaker 4 Well, we'll get to that in a moment because

Speaker 4 I was just howling with laughter last night at his just general indignance and how he forgot he was doing show to just yell at us and yell at his son in a way that made us all feel like we were being yelled at as five-year-olds by our own father.

Speaker 14 I shrank.

Speaker 5 I shrank. I've never really experienced that from a father before, but yesterday was a real masterclass in you shit stirring.

Speaker 12 Yeah, it wasn't good. And I think this whole just like paint over everything with a broad brush of its show, like if you murder someone today and you're like, but it was just for show, good times.

Speaker 13 I don't think that works with the police, you know.

Speaker 12 So he might be thrown in this intro, is what I'm getting.

Speaker 11 When I was in it, I wasn't blaming Dan as much, but I watched it back, and there was a point about 20 seconds in where I'm like, you know what? I'm going to give it back to you.

Speaker 5 Was it the seven times that we tried to diffuse the situation and Dan said, hold up, wait, stop.

Speaker 4 Yes, that's exactly what happened. But we've gotten two

Speaker 4 really good Greg Cody days. That introduction, the best version of Greg Cody there is, is when you challenge him to sing.

Speaker 4 Like, there have only been a couple of times that we have done it on this show where we are performing around him.

Speaker 4 What we did in Vegas, I thought, was a miracle, but was also Greg Cody caring the most. He hasn't written it back in my day, and I don't know how long, but you let him perform a song? It's nuts.

Speaker 4 Roy, you have to be a little bit confused by the singing sports writer here. Do you not?

Speaker 4 Like, the singing sports writer is the best version of himself at 70 when doing something that's flamboyantly musical.

Speaker 4 It's not just that it's a little bit of crooning, it's performance art of I get to sing and dance. I'm a sing and dance man.

Speaker 30 If he knows that's what he's best at, why is he not doing it more often?

Speaker 28 Is he best at it?

Speaker 11 He's just solid at it, I'd say.

Speaker 26 What, like a B plus?

Speaker 11 He's good. I don't want to undercut him.
Like his singing is genuinely good.

Speaker 4 Okay, but Chris, if you'd like to try to recreate that, because what he did had a degree of difficulty on it. Two days in a row, he has nailed it.

Speaker 4 And there's a degree of difficulty on getting all the songs right, all the movements right, throwing the toilet paper over your shoulder correctly, throwing the bacon over your shoulder correctly, sitting in front of the camera in a place that allows Carl to hide behind him in a perfectly comedic fashion.

Speaker 4 I don't know that we can execute all of that correctly again and again.

Speaker 5 I mean, yesterday, the wardrobe change Wrinkle 2. He navigated that so smoothly.

Speaker 4 Because he's getting better as a performer, I think, and performers know how to do wardrobe changes. I believe he's got a little ceiling Dion in him.
I mean,

Speaker 4 that was a diva outburst yesterday, even though I stirred it.

Speaker 8 Hold on a second.

Speaker 12 That was not a diva outburst. He was a victim.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Billy, let's remember what we're arguing about here. Like, there is no reason for any that is disproportionate to the man's laptop.

Speaker 31 Yeah, I mean, crime was committed, and then you put in jeopardy his livelihood, as he told us.

Speaker 12 No one takes that list more seriously than Greg Cody, and you guys had no respect for

Speaker 17 it.

Speaker 11 The fact. The part that I liked the best was that he was saying, like, you're my livelihood here, as if the Herald would give a shit.
About us, like, we drew more attention to that.

Speaker 17 The Herald loved what we did yesterday.

Speaker 5 This is, uh, you being dismissive of his career is exactly why we were in that spot yesterday.

Speaker 12 I would also be very careful with how you're painting the great Miami Herald with a broad brush, because you're to say that anything that gets them eyes, they love.

Speaker 12 So you're implying that they love when people are murdered. If you go to the Herald and you're like, well, look at all the eyes we're getting on this murder story.

Speaker 12 We wish more people would get murdered. You think that's what the Miami Herald is hoping for?

Speaker 13 Murder in the streets.

Speaker 4 Put it on the poll, Juju, at Lebittard Show. Is the Miami Herald?

Speaker 4 You said it. Is the Miami Herald rooting for murder?

Speaker 33 We don't have to put that up.

Speaker 4 Let's see if Greg Cody can do this again.

Speaker 31 It's time to put on a suit and roll out the carpet,

Speaker 31 rank up the tube and gather nail.

Speaker 20 It's the best time of the year,

Speaker 28 so keep your dial right here.

Speaker 28 It's me and you and me again at the Suez.

Speaker 31 The greatest of life's mistakes and best revelations

Speaker 31 brought to you by the greatest beer.

Speaker 34 It's the best time of the year.

Speaker 21 So keep your dial right here.

Speaker 21 It's me and you and me again at the South

Speaker 31 And every day you're gonna go to

Speaker 20 a website

Speaker 20 to vote on the sounds that brought you cheer

Speaker 20 Cause it's the best time of the year

Speaker 20 So keep your dial right here

Speaker 20 It's me

Speaker 20 and you

Speaker 20 It's me again and it's you.

Speaker 20 It's me and you and me again

Speaker 20 at the suite.

Speaker 20 Back at a thing.

Speaker 4 It's tough to do. It's difficult to do.
Blacked out. What happened?

Speaker 4 And Greg Cody, if you were not watching or listening yesterday, I could argue that it's the angriest moment in the history of sports broadcasting. I could make that argument.

Speaker 4 Where else have you ever seen someone rapidly refuse to do any more show and threaten his son and threaten all of us?

Speaker 5 I saw Jim Everett slap Jim Rome once.

Speaker 4 A good point by you.

Speaker 13 Greg got older today, huh?

Speaker 4 And I want to play for the audience.

Speaker 35 Everybody, look how good I look.

Speaker 4 The context, you're breathless. You're winded.

Speaker 4 I want to play for everybody. Again, if you did not see it yesterday, and we've got a giant college football weekend this weekend, one of the biggest openings you will ever see.

Speaker 22 FAU Bethune.

Speaker 4 To a season

Speaker 4 right there, opening week.

Speaker 4 I just can't remember a time where there was something like this on an Arch Manning, where he could really become...

Speaker 4 He could go from star to superstar one game. He can do it that quickly.

Speaker 4 Like he's somebody whose name you know, and in one game, he could become the immediate frontrunner for everything in college football, or it could fall apart.

Speaker 4 And that's one of the games. You got Miami, Notre Dame.
We haven't talked about that yet. But I want to start with what I believe to be close to unprecedented anger.

Speaker 4 And here's just a smidgen of it, because it was about seven minutes. But here's one minute of it.

Speaker 17 Oh, here we go. We got to wait a second.

Speaker 9 Oh, no. They're going to be elbows grabbed.

Speaker 17 No!

Speaker 9 They're going to be elbows grabbed.

Speaker 17 He's furious!

Speaker 36 Don't say anything about it. I'm serious.
I want my laptop back. I'm not the least bit amused by this.
I'm not kidding in how angry I am.

Speaker 4 I'm gonna send them both to the penalty box.

Speaker 9 I'm not going to the penalty box.

Speaker 14 But together, I'll bring this. I want my computer right here

Speaker 28 before I do anything.

Speaker 36 No, I'm not going to the penalty box until I get my computer right here.

Speaker 4 You can bring it to me. This is fine.

Speaker 9 This is good.

Speaker 36 No, you can bring it to me.

Speaker 4 Craig, you're going to stop that now.

Speaker 37 No. Okay.
Yes, you're not going to be able to do that. No, I'm not.

Speaker 4 You're going to stop that now.

Speaker 36 No, no, I'm not. I'll leave.
I'll go home if you want me to with my laptop, but I am not going in the penalty box until my laptop is connected to my computer. My son is, this is not your fault.

Speaker 36 My son has gone over the line here. I am genuinely upset.

Speaker 8 We know.

Speaker 36 Okay, so how about make it right? Christopher, if I don't have that computer here in three minutes, I am not hosting the draft party Thursday night.

Speaker 26 Put the clock up on the screen, Louis. Please do it.
Do it.

Speaker 36 I cannot express to you how serious I am about Thursday.

Speaker 17 All right. Yeah.
No.

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 37 On my life.

Speaker 36 Greg. I am not hosting this draft party Thursday night.
I've never been more angry connected with this show. Anybody who thinks that's me is an idiot.

Speaker 36 On my granddaughter's life,

Speaker 36 on my granddaughter's life, I am not hosting this draft party unless I have that computer. Whatever number he said will not be where the dolphins are.

Speaker 28 No, wait, now the number's changing?

Speaker 17 Maybe. Oh, no.

Speaker 31 Depending on how accurate he was.

Speaker 27 That was crazy.

Speaker 11 I just love the beginning of that.

Speaker 28 I want my laptop back.

Speaker 4 The next to last time that he was yelling at you, it's how I've heard him yell at you since you were five when he's angriest. He did not care that you're the executive producer.
He did not care that

Speaker 4 he's sitting here and doing a show.

Speaker 4 The back story on this, before I get to other things here, I just want you guys to know, the audience to know,

Speaker 4 that Chris Cody,

Speaker 4 just this morning, was still on the phone with his dad, who was still screaming, my

Speaker 4 ranking of the dolphins comes out at 10 a.m. Eastern.
And if you guys break that story before me,

Speaker 4 there's no draft party. on Thursday night I'm hosting.

Speaker 27 Whoa, hold on a second.

Speaker 26 I don't know if you're aware.

Speaker 35 I'm a journalist, all all right?

Speaker 35 And I have sources. I break stories sometimes.

Speaker 35 Greg doesn't get to tell me what stories I could attempt to break.

Speaker 27 Dude, you're going to kill me.

Speaker 35 But listen,

Speaker 35 this is my integrity. This is my livelihood we're talking about here.
Greg doesn't get to tell me what stories to break or not break.

Speaker 35 If I have a source who's going to tell me, you know,

Speaker 35 what ranking the dolphins are before 10 a.m., Lord's time zone, Eastern time, everybody knows that. Well, nothing's stopping me from doing my job.

Speaker 4 Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Is the Eastern time zone the Lord's time zone? Does everyone know that?

Speaker 4 Chris,

Speaker 4 what is your

Speaker 4 description for the audience of what you endured this morning while talking to your dad again about trying to get a graphics package together that celebrates where he will rank the dolphins?

Speaker 4 And I'm telling you, from just knowing your dad,

Speaker 4 the place that he was angriest,

Speaker 4 and this was lost yesterday, is that because you said he would rank the Dolphins 14th off of the top, he thought you had already looked at his computer.

Speaker 25 You're right.

Speaker 11 That was the biggest confusion.

Speaker 37 Whoa. That's correct.
You said a number.

Speaker 17 Spoiling here? I haven't confirmed that yet.

Speaker 17 Okay, thank you.

Speaker 13 I'm waiting on your word here, Zaz.

Speaker 4 We will get it from the journalist, but is it lost on everyone here how amusing it is that Greg Cody thought it was okay to

Speaker 4 reveal to the world before my wife did that I was engaged.

Speaker 4 That is okay as a scoop, but us reporting what his ranking of the Dolphins is to do that to him, that is unacceptable and results in a rage not seen since

Speaker 4 Chris Everett, since Jim Everett went after Jim Room. Careful, that was a problem for calling him Chris Everett.

Speaker 12 Well, I think it depends on a number of factors, okay? When you told Greg I'm engaged, did you say off the record?

Speaker 4 I didn't say it to him, I wasn't his source.

Speaker 12 Well, when someone said it to him, did they say off the record? Because if they said off the record and he put it out there, then he did, then there was malfeasance.

Speaker 12 Now, there's a difference between that and him reporting news that was not off the record and someone stealing his personal property and then stealing his intellectual information, his IP, and putting that out there before him.

Speaker 27 That's a crime.

Speaker 40 Chris should go to jail.

Speaker 17 Wow.

Speaker 11 No, I shouldn't.

Speaker 25 Good defense. It's up to the judge.

Speaker 25 Luckily, we have a judge here.

Speaker 5 It's up to the judge. Should Chris go to jail for his actions yesterday?

Speaker 35 He made a good case.

Speaker 35 Should I be a judge here?

Speaker 4 Roy, do you have the imaging ready for Zaslow to be a judge? You're always a judge. You're just asking if you should be a judge.

Speaker 27 Well, today so far, I'm a performer.

Speaker 8 Well, but you're a lot of things.

Speaker 4 You're a man of many talents.

Speaker 14 I'm a damn several job.

Speaker 22 I'm a performer today, yeah.

Speaker 9 All right.

Speaker 9 All rise.

Speaker 14 The Honorable Jonathan Zaszlo, now presiding with prejudice.

Speaker 4 That's not a judge's. Oh, it is a judge.
It is a judge trend.

Speaker 27 We didn't think about the headphones part.

Speaker 5 I can't believe he kept the backwards flex fit on.

Speaker 39 The no-helmet makes it a little, you know, the no headphones makes it a little different.

Speaker 21 Right, yeah. Just saying.
All right.

Speaker 35 The case in front of me.

Speaker 35 Should Chris Cody

Speaker 35 go to prison?

Speaker 35 based on the evidence that the defense put in front of me, which was, no, I shouldn't.

Speaker 35 I side with the defense.

Speaker 17 Oh, wow.

Speaker 35 Chris Cody does not deserve prison.

Speaker 11 With prejudice.

Speaker 34 Forgiveable.

Speaker 4 Congratulations.

Speaker 4 Congratulations, Chris.

Speaker 8 I'm very happy for you.

Speaker 4 You do not get a prison sentence, but we do have still the problem of your father's wrath, which is real.

Speaker 4 Billy, Mike, you guys tell me what you experienced watching Chris say nine times in a telephone, Dad, we're not going to put it on the screen before 10 a.m.

Speaker 14 No, I wasn't really paying attention to that.

Speaker 5 I shrank to the kitchen because yesterday was genuinely uncomfortable for you. It was terrible.

Speaker 29 It was not, I was not having fun.

Speaker 5 That was very uncomfortable for many in our audience.

Speaker 17 I was having fun.

Speaker 11 I like giving it like, because I just know my dad when he gets that level of rage and after the show he does the thing. Well, I think I said it on air yesterday.
He does the rage.

Speaker 11 A couple hours later, he's like, maybe I overreacted. And then he says that.
And then right after that, he's like, but do not reveal that pick before 10.

Speaker 12 So it's like he apologizes for the rage.

Speaker 11 And then he says, I'm going to be that angry if you report it before 10.

Speaker 24 He grabbed his chest yesterday.

Speaker 25 Like, we're getting to the A, and he's had incidents where he's just collapsed.

Speaker 42 Like that highlight.

Speaker 6 Like, it was getting a little scary.

Speaker 28 How the asthma he was getting.

Speaker 24 Well, it doesn't matter if it's because of asthma or whatever.

Speaker 6 If you pulling a prank kills your father, I'm with you.

Speaker 13 How are you going to feel?

Speaker 11 I did think watching it back yesterday that when I saw how angry he was, I was like, this just can't be good for his health.

Speaker 35 Over, don't forget, over

Speaker 39 what's inevitably going to a mediocre dolphin.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 35 That's the maybe we don't know yet.

Speaker 4 Okay, Billy, but here's I want to take the guesses and I want to walk people through this, okay?

Speaker 4 And I promise I'll get to the games in a second because I am excited about this UM Notre Dame game and I'm excited about this college football weekend.

Speaker 4 But I really do want the audience to understand that I believe this anger started with his son correctly guessing off the top of his head that Cody had ranked the team 14th in the league.

Speaker 4 Because I said there's no way he goes under 16. He's a homer.
He will keep them in the top half of the league. Chris got it correct and his father thought that he had looked at the computer.

Speaker 35 Well, what was the timeline there? When did you say that?

Speaker 11 That you can see. There was a video montage that we cut it out of the one we played, but you can see I say it before I had the laptop.

Speaker 11 There's me saying 14 wins and then they cut to me going in there and grabbing the laptop.

Speaker 6 Do we know it's 14 for sure?

Speaker 4 Well, this is what I want to talk about because.

Speaker 35 It's not confirmed.

Speaker 4 Well, it's not confirmed by Zazzle, but this is what I'm telling you.

Speaker 27 What I'm saying is, oh, it was 14, but it won't be today.

Speaker 4 He'll move it, and it won't have anything to do. with merit or somebody injured or anything else.
He's just going to move it because he doesn't want his son to be right.

Speaker 12 Do you want to know a behind the scenes thing that I don't think you're aware of? Because you were in that studio when this was going on.

Speaker 12 So when Chris was back here with the laptop and we were kind of uncomfortable with what was going on, Chris had the laptop and he said, I can't find it. And then he's hitting everyone.

Speaker 17 There were 40 tabs open.

Speaker 12 He's hitting every single tab that's open at the time. And Greg was actively typing it out moments before.
And he said, oh, gosh, I hope I didn't close it. And if I did, I hope it was saved.

Speaker 12 So while you guys are kind of egging Greg on, we back here are like, well, there's a chance that he accidentally deleted all of the work that Greg had done.

Speaker 4 He said that, but Greg wasn't worried about that because all 40 of those tabs were his podcast that he was opened on. He was just checking how many downloads it had.

Speaker 5 It was.

Speaker 4 And I'm promising you, I'd like to take a bet here now, okay? Because I think we'll find out at 10 or if Zaslow breaks the story earlier.

Speaker 39 I imagine we'll find out before.

Speaker 18 Really?

Speaker 35 Well, you know, this isn't a hobby of of mine. Come on.

Speaker 4 You're predicting that in the next 47 minutes, you can get this story, this big story of where it is the Dolphins are going to be ranked, according to Greg Cody of the Miami Herald.

Speaker 39 Yeah, I mean, I'm not exactly trying to, you know, crack some kind of code here.

Speaker 27 I'll figure it out to her.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 4 His rage is indeed real, but Erlene, Chris's mom, can tell you that that's what every experience is like arguing with your father, Chris, where there's an apology, but he doesn't know what he's apologizing for, and he's still right the next day, and he wasn't actually that sorry, but he did overreact.

Speaker 28 That's like dozens of times in my life, Daniel.

Speaker 4 And so I reject what all of you are saying here, all of you. I reject all of it because I am

Speaker 4 last night with my wife watching that video and we are howling with laughter.

Speaker 35 Oh, so she loved it.

Speaker 4 Loved it because it was uproariously funny because he's cute cute and everyone knows. Everyone in our audience knows.
It's unlike any other television fight you're ever going to have.

Speaker 4 Everyone in our audience knows, oh, that's real. And it also doesn't actually mean anything because those people love each other.

Speaker 4 Like, they'll figure out whatever the end of that is if he doesn't die on the air.

Speaker 3 But there's that too, right?

Speaker 12 There's the if he doesn't die on air.

Speaker 29 That's the part we want to avoid.

Speaker 26 And also just the assumption of like, ah, we'll misbehave, but we'll probably figure it out at the end.

Speaker 12 Like, we could avoid that part in the middle.

Speaker 24 And then you don't have to maybe mend fences.

Speaker 12 You know the best fence? One that doesn't have to be mended.

Speaker 4 Why didn't you tell me that advice while we were at ESPN?

Speaker 12 Listen, there was no one stopping that. That fence was well yawn broken.
You were a bucking Bronco, and there was nothing stopping you.

Speaker 44 Yep, you wouldn't listen to anybody.

Speaker 12 Not a single person. I tried to stop you.
You sent me to the penalty box. And then

Speaker 12 everything went downhill from there.

Speaker 4 It's one of the best stories in the history of the show. I believe it's the best video in the history of the show.
Billy Looking.

Speaker 8 Hard disagree.

Speaker 4 I know. I know why you don't like it, but that's not the best story I want to say.
It's my wedding week.

Speaker 43 You needed less stress that week.

Speaker 4 You have to find that for me so that we can just relive that at some point here, please. Just Billy's awkwardly.

Speaker 22 I'll do it every night when I close my eyes.

Speaker 4 I know. It was a bit of a nightmare.
But the best story of the last year. This is a difficult category to edit down in the Sueys every year because a lot of great stories get told around here.

Speaker 4 They are long stories, but

Speaker 4 Chris Cody told me this is a tight, tight 15 minutes. You get to decide.

Speaker 4 You get to decide what were the best story and stories told over the last year on the show.

Speaker 40 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 4 Greg Cody of the Miami Herald is writing an article and I'm reading in it. Moss Miami sold out.
Miami artists, Miami Culture. And I'm reading Moss Miami is sold out.

Speaker 4 And I'm reading about Digital Podcast Network and I'm reading about us. And I'm like, this is our dreams coming coming true.

Speaker 40 Stugats.

Speaker 4 A thousand people come out, and we see the shipping container, and they're on a stage, and they're like rock stars. You and me both had tears in our eyes.

Speaker 4 We're like mom and dad of sentiment, and it's hard to get you to sentiment, man.

Speaker 50 That was a very emotional moment for us to see those guys. I'm telling you guys, you were on stage.
Dan and I were both crying.

Speaker 25 Are you guys aware of this?

Speaker 47 Crying.

Speaker 37 Like crocodile tears. We believe.

Speaker 4 Crocodile tears are fake.

Speaker 37 Crocodile tears are fake.

Speaker 32 I thought they meant big.

Speaker 51 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 6 Apologies, that is the pickle.

Speaker 9 I had that ready for.

Speaker 21 We got yourselves pickles, dog.

Speaker 17 Yeah, we got pickles.

Speaker 30 But here's Best Story on the Suisse.

Speaker 36 And now the SUI nominees for Best Story, Jamal Crawford's biggest loss in gambling.

Speaker 52 Shooting dice with somebody I shouldn't have been shooting dice with I got in over my head and I started air betting I don't know if you know what that means but it's basically like I lost the cash I had so then when I lost the cash I was technically out the game so I had to bet on somebody else while they were shooting air money and it got so deep instead of giving the cash I said I'll give my car and I took my basketball off the trunk and gave him the car True story and you were a rookie and what kind of car was it?

Speaker 42 Yeah, I was a rookie.

Speaker 52 I was a rookie. It was a Mercedes.
It was an S430.

Speaker 36 The Cody's almost got in a golf fight.

Speaker 11 I can wait to let those guys guys move. Chances are, I'm not going to hit them.
So you know what? I'm going to speed this up. I'm going to hit.

Speaker 41 What do I do?

Speaker 11 I hit the shot of my life.

Speaker 13 And there are two ways to run it up on people.

Speaker 11 You can land it 20 yards and it rolls into there. That's not as, you know, no one's really going to get hurt there.

Speaker 27 Or there's,

Speaker 3 and the ball like lands and you're like, holy shit, I almost just died.

Speaker 11 That's what happened. It landed on the green.
So I am like, I'm throwing up the international sign for, holy shit, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 11 So the guy's reaction on the green, he's like a young guy my age, you know, looks like a tough guy. He grabs the ball, just chucks it into the water.

Speaker 37 Oh no. What?

Speaker 14 He takes the ball. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 29 And I just see the motion, just chucking it into the water.

Speaker 11 And I'm sitting here saying, look, what I just did was extremely rude.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 11 So I kind of get it.

Speaker 11 Greg Cody over here, 70-year-old Greg Cody, once he finds out the guy threw my golf ball, puffs his chest out and is just like, I'm going to, like, I had to essentially hold my dad back

Speaker 11 from going to yell at this guy on my behalf, where then I would have had to be like

Speaker 32 defending my dad.

Speaker 4 Yes, that's how rage and family bonds work, so that someone gets killed and killed by a golf club on a golf court.

Speaker 36 Patrick Sertan Jr. and Sr.
tell the story of the Dolphins Broncos 70 to 20 game.

Speaker 54 Just for the record, by the end of the about two minutes left in the third quarter,

Speaker 42 I was drunk.

Speaker 37 So I knew the score.

Speaker 50 But the thing about it, they were down and Mike McDaniel kept throwing the ball.

Speaker 42 I'm like, oh, shit, he's trying to break records records on him. But

Speaker 49 bad thing about it was it was humid. It was hot.

Speaker 55 We was getting whooped in the sun.

Speaker 42 And yeah, that was your dad went to get drunk in the client.

Speaker 29 While you're suffering,

Speaker 37 you're allowing 70 points and your dad is hammered before the fourth quarter.

Speaker 54 I was watching out of one eye.

Speaker 36 The story of how Jessica and Lehman met.

Speaker 15 My other grandma actually died, and then I went to work the next day. And I was like, my grandma died.
And everyone was like, like, oh, we're so sorry. And I'm like, it's okay.
Let's go to happy hour.

Speaker 15 And then we went to happy hour and that was the day Lehman and I started dating.

Speaker 4 So much romance.

Speaker 37 So much. So that's how I remember our anniversary.

Speaker 36 Eduardo Perez was terrified his dad would see his shin guard.

Speaker 56 The trainer for the Angels comes out and beats our Tampa Bay trainer out to the field. And he's like, it's mush.
He goes, let me look. And I said, don't.

Speaker 48 And he goes, what?

Speaker 27 I said, if it's mush, don't raise my pant legs.

Speaker 56 Why? I said, because I have a shin guard underneath it. And my dad would always say, the sign of a bad hitter is a hitter that has a shin guard on.

Speaker 57 So I had a shin guard underneath my uniform.

Speaker 54 I did not want my dad to see.

Speaker 57 While I'm horn Achilles,

Speaker 57 I had the shin guard on. So I'm like, please do not show me that.

Speaker 27 He goes, okay, no problem.

Speaker 56 I'm not going to show you that.

Speaker 36 The Miami Heat had Poppy so scared, he pulled his pants down.

Speaker 4 I was there and I was sitting on his couch with my girlfriend and my father, who got so nervous that while he was watching during all of that, for reasons I will not be able to explain to this day in the living room, just dropped his pants and was standing there in his underwear.

Speaker 4 He just got scared.

Speaker 32 He was all heat fans.

Speaker 47 That was all of us.

Speaker 37 His house.

Speaker 4 Just like, wait, but why do I, why do I remember that? Because my father, for some reason, was in his tidy white. He's just in the fourth quarter, scared.

Speaker 6 Did you ever say, Dad?

Speaker 18 Why'd you drop your pants?

Speaker 4 We all did.

Speaker 32 His house, though, Greg.

Speaker 37 Poor girlfriend.

Speaker 29 Wait, you all dropped your pants?

Speaker 36 Jalen Rose texted Merrow about his hairline.

Speaker 48 I was asked the question of like who do i think has fake hairlines because you know some people oh like steve that was when the copy i know where you're going with this right i said jalen rose you're a liar and i was just like yo devil is a liar so i said so so i said it right so i said yo jalen rose this gotta be fake because it's so it's too perfect it's not it's too perfect so then i gotta text

Speaker 9 yo this is jalen rose my shit's real

Speaker 29 It's true.

Speaker 9 Now we on Frankie.

Speaker 25 Hayers will say it's fake, though.

Speaker 37 But it is true.

Speaker 25 It is geometrical.

Speaker 32 Like, it's a it's a modern marvel how

Speaker 29 the 90-degree angles on it are crazy.

Speaker 9 Like, I'm talking about on TV, Jamal, you know how hard

Speaker 37 it looks perfect on TV?

Speaker 36 Dominique Foxworth played through spitting up blood during a contract year.

Speaker 53 Jay Cutler scrambles to the right and then scrambles to the left. I go to the left with him, then he comes back to the right.
As I'm coming back, Eddie Royal dives through my chest.

Speaker 53 And I thanked him after the game because he didn't hit me in the head because it was legal back then. I got up from that play and started started coughing and spitting out blood.

Speaker 53 And then I started to walk in the direction of the sideline because this ain't normal. And then it hit me.
Nah, bruh, it's a contract here.

Speaker 53 Lined up and played the next play. And there are people who have done much more absurd things than that because I wasn't even that good.

Speaker 36 Craig and Erlene Cody share the tale of Bamboo Reed.

Speaker 36 When you were pregnant with Christopher and we were dreaming up possible names, I came up with, you know, we were going through the usual suspect of names.

Speaker 50 I came up with a rather unusual name that you vetoed.

Speaker 58 Is that when you were on the LSD? Is that when that was happening?

Speaker 37 Yeah. Please.

Speaker 42 Now, that was well after that.

Speaker 58 You mean the bamboo reed thing?

Speaker 20 Oh, my God.

Speaker 20 Yes!

Speaker 37 I'm set. I'm set.

Speaker 4 Yes!

Speaker 36 Andrew Zimmern collects animal nutsacks.

Speaker 49 I have the nutsacks of six or seven different animals that I've taken in the wild and whose balls I've eaten.

Speaker 31 Which animals?

Speaker 49 I have a Wildebeest nutsack over there that is about the size of a softball.

Speaker 36 Billy Gill got big timed by Miami Heat Security at Amos Miami.

Speaker 59 I was like, why is this guy just hanging out by the stairs? There's this big crowd of people.

Speaker 12 Like I wanted him to feel welcome.

Speaker 59 So I was trying to be like a good host. So I was on the stage and I walked over to him and I said, hey, good to see you.
Like thanks for coming out.

Speaker 59 Because I've been told that he's a big fan of the show. So he shakes my hand very nicely and then I walk away and I go back on the stage to do whatever we were doing.

Speaker 59 And then a report got to me that he then turned to the person next to him and said, Who the bleep was that guy?

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's terrifying, and I don't know why. He wasn't terrified.

Speaker 12 I thought he was a dick.

Speaker 37 He was one of the fans.

Speaker 42 All right, get back to him.

Speaker 20 Come on.

Speaker 36 Poppy Levatard tells us about Fred Dreyer.

Speaker 51 The guy used to eat salmon. That's all the guy ate.
You know,

Speaker 51 he was in real good shape. His cholesterol level was in tip-top condition.
And I said, oh my God, this guy is going to live forever.

Speaker 51 And one day I get up in the morning and I look at the news and the guy dropped dead. I say, how the hell this guy could drop dead? You know, he's so healthy not, you know.
Well, that happened.

Speaker 51 So I stopped eating salmon. That's it.

Speaker 37 I don't need salmon anymore. Let's clip.

Speaker 4 I'm being told that Fred Dreyer is still alive.

Speaker 51 Nah, I don't believe that. My source tells me that he dropped dead a number of years ago.

Speaker 36 Amin El Hessen got face to face with Mike Tyson.

Speaker 60 Crowded bar, and I'm walking out, and someone like bumps into me until my drink spills, and it went all over Mike Tyson. And he turns around.

Speaker 60 And this is when he first got the tattoo, and it's glowing in the dark of the black lights.

Speaker 11 That's Prime.

Speaker 47 Like, oh my God.

Speaker 47 Prime, don't spill a drink on my face.

Speaker 32 Yeah, that's no F.

Speaker 37 Gibbons, Mike.

Speaker 60 And this crowded bar that was like really congested a second ago, it was all open. And it was just me and Mike Tyson.
And everyone was like 100 yards away.

Speaker 60 And his eyes, his beady little eyes, were like glowing too, and they were angry. So I said, the only thing that came to mind, As-salamu alaykum, brother.

Speaker 60 And he dapped me up and he pulled me close, like sharply like that.

Speaker 21 I'll kill you.

Speaker 60 And in my ear, he said,

Speaker 60 but he said it so close to my ear, I thought he was gonna bite my ear. So

Speaker 60 I jumped back. And then he released, and then I just, I ran away.

Speaker 36 Jonathan Zaslow disrupted Brad Williams show.

Speaker 38 My wife and I were at the show. We're sitting toward the back of one of the couches.

Speaker 35 And there is a really loud man who is behind us with a couple of women.

Speaker 38 They have been overserved. They are clearly drunk.

Speaker 40 And they are loud.

Speaker 41 And so I could feel the buildup. My wife is getting agitated at the people who are being loud and disrespectful to Brad.

Speaker 38 And it got to a point where I turned around and I yelled for everyone to hear, shut the f ⁇ up.

Speaker 55 Just to be clear, Zaz is making his wife the Jada Pinkett in this scenario where it's like Will was sitting there like, I don't want to slap Chris Rock, but my wife's uncomfortable.

Speaker 55 So let me go assault one of the best comedians ever. So Zaz is sitting there going like, I don't want to ruin the show, but my wife's uncomfortable.
So let me go ruin the show.

Speaker 36 Dan Lebatard's fireworks adventure.

Speaker 4 So I go to the park. All right, and I just take the very smallest of the explosives and I light the fuse and I walk away.

Speaker 4 What happens next is such a bombardment of neighborhood machine gun fire and smoke that I run out of the park because I don't want to be seen by anybody in

Speaker 37 a neighborhood where it won't stop.

Speaker 4 Like I get to my car, it's still going.

Speaker 4 It was such a rat-at-tat-tat of like 90 seconds of neighborhood machine gun fire on an otherwise tranquil sunny afternoon that I immediately came home and gave my fireworks away to a couple of my friends.

Speaker 36 Dan Lebetard lost his ticket to the Pearl Jam concert.

Speaker 61 What happened is we had tickets and they were hard tickets, actual tickets, not on the phone. Tickets were distributed to each of the people in our party about an hour and a half prior to the concert.

Speaker 61 When it came time to enter the venue and show the ticket, Dan Levittard says, sorry, I can't find my ticket. He lost his ticket, which would have kept him out of the concert.

Speaker 61 He was there for his wife, for her birthday. So my girlfriend has to go looking in a casino for his ticket, doesn't find it.
And I'm forced to get him in because I knew security.

Speaker 61 So Dan gets into the concert. There are eight of us for only seven tickets.
So we squeeze in and all of a sudden, there's this guy standing where our seat is. And I, no one else said a word.

Speaker 61 Dan is just sort of standing there with his eyes half open. And I said, excuse me, this is not your seat.
And what does this man do?

Speaker 54 He showed the ticket.

Speaker 61 That was Dan's ticket.

Speaker 35 Because who else has a physical ticket? Like, obviously, it's Dan's ticket.

Speaker 36 BJ Upton asks Tim Kirchin his shoe size.

Speaker 62 Dan, I was in the dugout once in Atlanta, and BJ Upton came up to me during the game. And he just looked at me because I'm right there in the dugout with a microphone in my hand.

Speaker 13 And he said, my brother and I were wondering, what size shoe do you wear?

Speaker 44 So I said, well, I wear a seven and a half shoe. And he said, man, that's, that's a really small shoe.

Speaker 37 And then he walked away.

Speaker 41 That's what you get when you're the dugout reporter.

Speaker 36 Dan Lebatard threw carrot cake out of the press box.

Speaker 63 Dan had brought back a piece of carrot cake, a square of classic carrot cake from the dining room.

Speaker 63 Dan looks at me, looks at the carrot cake, and then he kind of puts his hand like he's going to flip the carrot cake over the railing into the crowd.

Speaker 63 And I look at Dan, I said, you're not going to do it. Like, don't do it, don't do it.
And he always, you know, Dan, that just that to him is saying, You're gonna, you have to do that.

Speaker 63 So, with just a quick little flip of his finger, the carrot cake over the railing, gone. And now, and now, since we're professional, what do we do? We both push back from the

Speaker 63 desk, and we're now because we want to separate ourselves from possibly somebody seeing us. And then, about 10 seconds later, thick New York accent shouting up, hey, great New Yorker.

Speaker 17 Hey, you idiots.

Speaker 63 You think that's money throwing cake for people?

Speaker 9 You guys are idiots. I'm going to come up there, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 63 And we are both just about to die. It's like,

Speaker 4 I literally want to just disappear.

Speaker 63 He thinks it's the funniest thing in the world.

Speaker 36 David Sampson gave a sermon at a black church.

Speaker 64 I needed their support for public money for the ballpark. So hold on.
I was the only white guy in there.

Speaker 29 Jewish.

Speaker 64 I am Jewish.

Speaker 42 I am white.

Speaker 29 The white is the same.

Speaker 28 Okay, so.

Speaker 13 How did you dress?

Speaker 64 How I dressed is I went to visit a black tailor.

Speaker 10 Hold on. No.

Speaker 64 And I had a suit made for me by Andre Dawson's tailor.

Speaker 64 So I looked like Andre Dawson, and it was awesome. I had a concigliary who was Cuban, and we had a plan of all the different people we had to get votes from.

Speaker 64 So we went to the Cubans, we went to the non-Cubans.

Speaker 42 We went to Barra.

Speaker 64 100%. I had to go get one personally made, a Guy of Ada.

Speaker 4 What's the best story in there? Which one did you guys like best?

Speaker 4 And I will give you the context for what's happening in the lower right-hand portion of the screen in a second, because this was the moment that got us ended at ESPN, basically.

Speaker 4 And what you can see in the corner is executive producer Billy Gill has been sent to the penalty box. And I don't believe he can hear what I'm saying, right?

Speaker 12 I could not, but I knew.

Speaker 4 Right. Well, so I knew what was coming.
So you did know what was coming? So the directors in Miami just put it on Billy because clearly if this person's going to be suspended,

Speaker 4 no organization that made this go viral would just air a guy sitting there the entire time.

Speaker 4 Just Billy sit like, that's the reason they went to that shot. That's good directing right there is the reason they went to that shot.

Speaker 4 And Billy looks like he's afraid, even though he's not afraid, but he was afraid.

Speaker 12 My wedding was a week away. That was the day before I was going, or two days before I was going away on like a bachelor trip for like a two-day trip just before.

Speaker 28 I had a bachelor party, is that is what we call it.

Speaker 12 Yeah, but it was like, it wasn't a party. It was like, we went to like friggin' Orlando.
It wasn't like, you know, cocaine and strippers, you know, as bachelor parties have.

Speaker 28 So it wasn't good.

Speaker 17 No, no.

Speaker 12 It's good. It's a good time bonding with friends, you know? And then they were all telling me, like, wasn't that so great what your boss said? I was like, no, I may come back and not have a job.

Speaker 40 It was horrifying.

Speaker 13 It was terrible.

Speaker 12 Like, oh my God, that was so great. What he did.
It was absolutely not great what he did. I'm coming back from this trip where I'm supposed to be unwinding, getting ready to wed my beautiful wife.

Speaker 6 And I don't know if I can provide for this family anymore because Dan wanted to prove a point and he wanted to have a little hissy fit.

Speaker 23 Even though we were trying to say, hey, let's just, let's tone things down a little bit. Let's calm down.

Speaker 6 And he wanted to do it anyways.

Speaker 26 So, no, it was not great, friends.

Speaker 6 I'm quite stressed out right now, and surely things can't get worse next week.

Speaker 25 And they did.

Speaker 48 The way that it worked out was...

Speaker 5 He came back from his honeymoon, and we were no longer going to be with ESPN.

Speaker 12 No, we were still with the SPN, but I came back from our honeymoon in 790, so it hit the road, Jack.

Speaker 27 That was true.

Speaker 28 That was too hot for us.

Speaker 5 That was another thing that happened. Yeah.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 12 Every meaningful moment in my life, I can connect to disaster at work that I could not enjoy in my personal life because someone was acting amok here professionally.

Speaker 4 That's a great top five list.

Speaker 26 No, it's not.

Speaker 12 It's tragedies of my life, scars, mental scars that cannot be healed. Years of therapy have attempted to, unsuccessfully.

Speaker 27 Clearly.

Speaker 22 We will keep that.

Speaker 12 Like the mark of a raptor. They can never be taken off of my soul.

Speaker 13 What?

Speaker 12 I was going to say brain, but soul.

Speaker 33 What's the mark of a raptor?

Speaker 40 Yeah, raptor.

Speaker 59 Like, you know, in Jurassic Park, you're like, I guess that maybe is a T-Rex.

Speaker 6 You know, the mark of

Speaker 6 it.

Speaker 13 It's a very common expression. People say it all the time.
Ever heard of Thomas Ederson?

Speaker 44 The Toronto Raptors logo is basically what you're saying.

Speaker 13 That was more of a basketball-shaped.

Speaker 8 We have a pickle later.

Speaker 22 Roy ruined that surprise.

Speaker 28 I apologize.

Speaker 30 Apologies again for that.

Speaker 4 We have to get to Diana Russini in a second as well.

Speaker 4 And I want to because in 30 minutes, Greg Cody is going to reveal where the dolphins are ranked. And I think Zaszlo is close to

Speaker 4 sniffing out this story.

Speaker 11 I actually just got a text that my dad, it was originally going to be noon. He said to the Herald, hey, the Lebatard show is doing this thing.
We got to get it out at 10.

Speaker 11 He has not got confirmation yet that it will be out of 10. He's hoping it will be.

Speaker 4 Oh, no, then we got to break this news on him. We can't wait if we know.
It's got to happen before we leave the air today. We can't wait around for him, especially if Zaszlo gets the story.
Yeah.

Speaker 17 the the herald i'll i don't know if you know i don't work for the herald the herald deadlines mean nothing to me just to be clear we could wait

Speaker 4 he's our friend yeah we we could no we can't wait we should break the story if jaslow has the story the news waits for no man you're positioning it as if we don't have a choice

Speaker 35 we are making a new decision the news waits for no man do you think breaking news is about to come out and somebody in the newsroom says what about our friend

Speaker 29 sometimes

Speaker 9 yeah no sometimes the whole epstein list thing

Speaker 4 now maybe It's not how it used to be

Speaker 4 back in Zaslow's day. I'm going to call your dad here, and as I do this, I'm going to.

Speaker 14 I'm going to FaceTime him.

Speaker 17 Put him on speaker.

Speaker 4 But hold on a second, and I will put, even though you guys shamed me for that yesterday, I will put him on speaker.

Speaker 4 But before I do that, just real quick, because we're in the local hour, and I really do want to talk U.M. Notre Dame.
Mike, what are you doing later today?

Speaker 4 to talk UM Notre Dame for five straight hours if anyone wants five straight hours of Mike Ryan. Hasn't been allowed to talk about it here, so he wants to talk about it five straight hours there.

Speaker 5 As a partner over at Keynes Insight, make weekly appearances. Keynes Insight broke a lot of news over the offseason for my money and quite literally my money.

Speaker 5 The best Keynes coverage there is out there. We're doing our second annual hurricane.
Last year, we kicked things off with a five-hour marathon that had a ton of guests.

Speaker 5 This year, the marquee is even bigger.

Speaker 14 It begins at 3 o'clock.

Speaker 5 We have Chris Felica, Bruce Feldman, Jay Lucas, the new men's team coach, David Lake, Jessica Smetana, and Mike Golick Jr. will be joining us.

Speaker 5 Kevin Clark, Britt McMurphy, and hopefully a big-time special guest.

Speaker 24 Dude, you should get Xavier Ostrepo.

Speaker 12 He's got nothing going on now.

Speaker 9 He's got nothing going on.

Speaker 4 Waived by the Titans yesterday.

Speaker 4 Billy, how many people sent you that?

Speaker 26 Just you, but I had other people tag me.

Speaker 25 Yeah, I don't like this.

Speaker 12 I don't like that I'm being tagged and people think that I'm celebrating someone's downfall.

Speaker 26 You are smiling.

Speaker 12 Well, no, because I got the text from Dan, so I knew we were going to get here eventually.

Speaker 9 It's a dream.

Speaker 12 It was an easy joke to throw in there, but I don't like being, you know, attached to essentially my words.

Speaker 26 I'd like to just kind of say things for laughs and move on.

Speaker 9 Like, I don't like this Josh Allen stupid face thing news later.

Speaker 4 Billy, you got it right, though, on Restrepo.

Speaker 6 Look.

Speaker 12 There's plenty of that story still to be told.

Speaker 5 You don't really do consequences well.

Speaker 4 Fair. I'm going to call Cody, all right? Because

Speaker 4 we have the chance of getting him pissed off all over again.

Speaker 11 I'm nervous about that.

Speaker 12 For the podcast listeners, Dan is calling Greg Cody on his phone, maybe.

Speaker 22 Turn the volume up.
