We'll get to Juju Gatti and the polls in a second, but we have not promoted the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, the illustrious podcast of one Greg Cody.

Thank you.

It's why he's checked out for the last 90 minutes in silent protest that we have not promoted his podcast.

What is on the latest episode of the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody?

And are you just going to ask your son the way you always do, hey, what'd we do, kid, on the last episode?

No, we only come out once a week.

You know, we don't come out like nine times a day like some people.

We come out once a week.

So our podcast is the same as it was.

Same as it was Monday when I was in.

We have a Billy Gil tribute.

We have

the PFPI expose, which includes that purloined, illegal recording of me.

Where you say, I need your support.

And then I sound like a U.S.

Senator.

I need your support.

LBJ.

That's what you sound like.

You sound hammered.

What?

It really does sound like audio from Calvin Coolidge's age.

Coming out of the transistor radio.

It's on the back of a train.

They're punching tickets on the back of the train.

And Cody's doing a stump speech on the caboose.

I need your support.

It's a wiretap at the Watergate Hotel.

That's true.

It does sound like an old-timey recording.

I need your support.

No big deal, in retrospect.

Totally commonplace.

Bit of a hoax.

It's

a tiny town in a western city that's got saloon doors and the train just pulled up with its stop.

It's like the fourth candidate in the region.

I need your support.

It's got the red, white, and blue banners on the back of the caboose.

Whoever's saying it has a giant ribbon on their lapel.

Top hat.

That's right.

You can hear the whole recording, purloined recording on my latest episode.

And I love how my dad's like, you should hear my wife what she says.

It's way, it's like, no, it's funny.

You go for the drunk greg.

The drunk greg is the good stuff.

Okay.

What is that red, white, and blue stuff called on the back of a truck?

Is that bunting?

Bunting.

So it's just, okay.

So that's on the back of the truck.

How weird is it in baseball opening days?

Like, look at the bunting.

Which type?

I need your support.

Again, if you're not familiar with the context for that sound, it's not a train and it's not a stump speech in the 1920s.

It's a drunken Greg calling his wife.

Calling me, Lee, and I don't answer and leaves me a voicemail thinking he's hung up.

So he's talking to my mom and it's collusion and he's bitching about me.

I need your support.

I'm going to put a vote out there so I can punish Christopher for this.

And TCB.

I need your support.

Damn right.

Somebody's got to do it.

I take my commissioner's job very seriously.

I know that.

Why were you running out of breath there?

I know that Juju covers basketball very well on Alley Oop with Trista and on all things Alley Oop for the Lebatard and Friends Network.

Surely last night you were happy to see the league come back, Juju.

Welcome.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

And matter of fact, what?

This old thing right here is great.

Yes,

it will be available soon on LebatardAF.com.

Get you one of these Kansas City Dan was wrong hoodies coming to a theater near you.

Neither here nor there.

One of you guys skipped one of the most beautiful things that happened last night.

This guy was in witness protection.

He had a stop, a cup of coffee in Memphis, had another cup of Joe in Washington, D.C.

But ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake about it.

Marcus Smart is back.

Oh, my God.

All the antics are back.

He almost pulled Steph Curry's shoulder out of the socket once.

Said he didn't do anything.

What did I do, Ref?

Not me.

Vintage year for Marcus Smart Income.

What was the best stuff from last night for you?

Kevin Durant took the blame for the OKC loss.

He missed a free throw.

You rarely see that from him.

He got bailed out by the referee.

He got bailed out from shame from the referees at the end last night.

He didn't talk about that at all.

Right, because he also called the timeout 100%.

I mean, what you thought about that timeout?

Not only did he call it, as Shaygos as Alexander said, he said it verbally, and he did the hand thing.

Like, he was going hard, and just, I don't know whether the refs didn't see him.

No, they saw him.

Or they saw him and they did him a solid of, I'm not going to, I'm not going to call it.

Yep.

Right.

We can't have the first game of the year in like this, even though it's a blunder by my boy.

It can't end like this.

And OKC, shame on you.

You just let me know what you let me know last night.

You don't understand Liberty nor the, what is it, the Louisiana Purchase, nor the Boston Tea Party.

You don't boo Kevin Durant when he comes back to OKC.

OKC is cool because of Kevin Durant.

The person, one of the people who contributed to saving Earth, by the way, last summer with Steph Curry over in France.

You don't boo that man.

Get over yourself, okay.

C, congratulations, Juju.

What about the theory that the game went to double overtime, not because they wanted to do Kevin Dren a solid, but because NBC needed to sell more peacock subscriptions?

Yeah, that was a good one because I found myself in that exact scenario.

I'm like, dang, I can't because I got a three-screen set up currently over here.

So I was like, I can't not get tip off.

Ah, log into Peacock.

Oh, dang, I'm not logged in.

Purchase.

Okay.

What's my password?

Right.

I did that.

I also think, sidebar, the hockey had a perfect night as well, Brad Marshan, because that was on screen number two last night.

Brother, that emotional send-off that they gave him in the beginning of the game, for them to have that.

followed by an instant goal from Florida and then followed by my boy Marshan punching somebody in the kidneys like two minutes minutes later, like full force.

That gave you every spectrum of the range of emotion the Panthers gave you last night.

Hats off to them for doing it right as well.

Before we get to the polls, did you have any thoughts on Tom Izzo, old-timey dinosaur?

He's upset that G-Leaguers are being allowed into the NCAA, just making it all more and more professional.

Yes, sir.

He says that I'm going to get myself in trouble, but I talk to people

and how about how kids change.

Kids aren't the problem.

We're the problem, Izzo told reporters Tuesday.

This was sprung on us again yesterday, where a guy can be in the league for two or three years, and then all of a sudden he's eligible.

Most people do nothing about it.

He's not excited about it, yada, yada, yada.

I mean, he's upset.

And I don't think he's necessarily too wrong about that because you give people the G-League experience, then let them come back to people who fresh out of high school, a bit of an advantage.

Slightly.

I would say slightly to be trained and disciplined for three years in the professional ranks of the G-League, and then all of a sudden you're playing some pimple-nosed Frenchman who hasn't played but six minutes of high school basketball, not exactly fair.

Yes, sir.

Also, too, Chef's kiss,

when you said earlier, what would the team look like if they quit on tour?

I was like, oh, there he is.

Rare form.

You was back when you said that one.

You put it on Diana Taurasi.

I mean, not Diana Taurasi.

Is that a fine?

Ron Vorges?

You put it on her, though.

Yeah, you put it on her.

What's going on here?

What are you doing?

Also, salute.

Salute to the hockey is where they did it right for messing up the clock at the end of the game

because I had no way of knowing.

So I had to unmute that one and put hockey on the number one screen just so I could see when the game was actually over.

It was like soccer will just trust that the referee is no time left over.

And the announcers are like 27, dude.

26.

Before it was 3.05, it was two minutes and 65 seconds at first that I was on there.

My brain broke.

I just realized, Zaz, you're absolutely right.

In soccer, we don't know.

We just wait for the rep to call it.

And I've never thought twice about it.

I believe him.

And then hockey, you tell me in hockey, I'm like, no, how could you not know the count?

It is a fairly ridiculous thing that hockey, only one person running, I'm sorry,

soccer, one person or a couple of people running around know how much time is left in the game.

You know, you get to have the benefit of watching the minute count when you're watching a soccer broadcast on television.

But when you're at the stadium, they purposely do not reveal that.

You're guessing with them because they don't want people jumping all over the officials.

That is

bullshit.

All they do is just start whistling.

Yeah, but the people naturally time it on their own phones and end up whistling.

It doesn't really help, but that for whatever reason, well, I guess I outlined one, but they choose to not show the people in attendance that fact.

At Levittard Show on the polls, what do you have for us, Juju?

Biggest star in Boston, Brad Marchand or Ray Bork?

51% of the audience says Ray Bork.

Wow.

That is bullshit.

Sorry, pardon my tongue.

It's okay.

Is there way too much time between the end of the four o'clock game and Sunday night football?

75% of the audience says, Yes, it is.

No way.

You watch Football Night in America, right?

That nice little thing.

You get Jason Garrett all of a sudden.

It's like,

he's lightning.

What a turn.

I only think of Tony when I see Jason Garrett now moving forward.

My guy.

Every time I see him, I'm like, look at my boy.

Have you ever bought a flight and ended up on a bus?

91% of the audience says no, they have not.

It's ridiculous.

It's called American Airlines.

You didn't even tell us the best part of the story, which is they took you to another airplane gate in the bus.

Yeah.

Went from terminal to terminal.

They were trying to trick you into thinking you were in a plane.

It's crazy.

The bus should have been.

Last poll is Jeremy Tashay, the Chris Winningham of Pablo Torres.

That's wrong.

89% of the audience says yes, he is.

And those are your polls.

LebatardAF.com.

Those are going to be big sellers there for Juju.

And you've all

just ended there.
