Local Hour: Desecrating The Cane

Speaker 2 Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 3 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 4 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 3 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 7 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 6 The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo.

Speaker 2 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 8 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 2 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 3 Proximo, Quervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.

Speaker 9 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 3 Chris, you should know better than to agitate your father as soon as we're starting what we're doing here.

Speaker 3 You come into the room and your dad has limped in with a cane and you're badgering him about you get emotional these days about anything. And you say.

Speaker 3 You weeped on the podcast. And I really thought your father was going to correct you there and say it's wept kid.
I'm a writer. I thought he was going to be offended.

Speaker 3 He didn't do that. He said, weeped is too strong.
Fought back a tear or two is how he would phrase it. So why are you getting so emotional and fighting back tears, but not weeping? Okay,

Speaker 3 there's an obvious line there. Everybody knows it.

Speaker 3 When you weep, you're like openly almost sobbing. Weeping is the neighbor of sobbing.

Speaker 3 It might be the neighbor of sobbing, but it's not a synonym with sobbing. Weeping is the stop before sobbing.
Okay, I think they're neighbors. I think they're exchanging cups of sugar.

Speaker 3 Head to the cul-de-sac. They're friendly.
They're on the same street, but head to the cul-de-sac. Okay, weeping and sobbing to me are the...
You go,

Speaker 9 that's sobbing.

Speaker 3 Okay, well, to me, that's weeping. That's being a sussy.
To me, weeping is just like.

Speaker 3 I wept.

Speaker 16 Weeping is silent to me.

Speaker 14 Sobbing is like...

Speaker 3 A few breaths.

Speaker 10 Weeping is just like a few breaths.

Speaker 9 You know I'm crying. It's.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 7 At any rate.

Speaker 7 Sobbing has shoulders shaking.

Speaker 3 It's a bit uncontrollable. Weeping is single tears.
Sobbing is a flume of tears.

Speaker 12 I don't agree with that at all.

Speaker 3 There's no such thing as a single tear.

Speaker 10 It's not going to requires several tears.

Speaker 10 Weeping is stronger than crying.

Speaker 3 I said weeping is single tears, not a single tear. It's just a tear or two or three or four, whereas sobbing is just a river of tears.
You can't control it. Weeping is the stop before sobbing.

Speaker 9 Weeping is a single file line of tears, one at a time, whereas sobbing, it's like they're everywhere. They're just pouring down my face.

Speaker 3 You're giving sobbing too much credit.

Speaker 3 Weeping is about as emotional as you get. When you weep,

Speaker 3 there's nothing left. Like, weeping

Speaker 3 is, I almost said worse. Weeping is more than sobbing.
No, in my opinion. No.
Oh, yeah. This is wild.
Yeah. Sob is bad.
Okay, well, can we get to the answer to the question, please? I forgot.

Speaker 3 What was the question?

Speaker 3 Why are you getting emotional? Why are you fighting back tears, weeping, sobbing? I mean, a couple of things came up on my podcast that made me emotional. I mean, you know, I do find the older I get,

Speaker 3 the more prone I am to weeping, not sobbing.

Speaker 3 Where's bawling on the list? Oh, bawling.

Speaker 9 Please. See, now that, now, sobbing and bawling, neighbors.
They might even be like in the same apartment building.

Speaker 18 Tell you who's bawling, Norman Powell.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 10 You know what I'm saying? You thought that Norman Powell's ass?

Speaker 19 That's my gimmick, yo.

Speaker 3 When I, by the way, I lauded the Norman Powell trade. That's another thing I predicted right.

Speaker 3 I referred to it. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Another thing you predicted right? Are Are you going to take credit for the Dolphins today? Oh, yeah.
I mean, you saw the game Sunday.

Speaker 3 The Dolphins showed up. It took them until mid-season, but they showed up.
My Dolphins.

Speaker 3 Another thing you predicted right. I lauded the Norman Powell.
I called it a pickpocket for

Speaker 3 Pat Riley.

Speaker 3 He got Norman Powell for nothing. Now Norman Powell

Speaker 3 ranks on everyone's early season MVP list. He was an all-star last year, wasn't he? Or should he? He was an all-star, correct?

Speaker 19 Just to confirm,

Speaker 19 right from the the get-go, you thought it was a good trade, Norman Powell, and just giving up Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 Thank you.

Speaker 10 Norman Powell was not an all-star. He was a snub last year.
He was just on the outside looking in. But the Heat saw something.

Speaker 3 So the Norman Powell story, just to be clear, you figured out the way to make that about you. Well, I mean, you know, nobody else was applauding the Norman Powell.
Everybody was.

Speaker 3 Craig. No.
Craig, Mike Ryan went from being out on the heat to, never mind, I cancel all my opinions based on nothing but the acquisition of Norman Powell.

Speaker 3 The thing about that is he's got such a plain name. There's never been

Speaker 3 a Norman Powell that excites you.

Speaker 19 There was never a moment you thought Kevin loved Kyle Anderson too much.

Speaker 3 You're kidding. No.
Nobody thought that. Yes, he said it would.

Speaker 3 Pieces of driftwood. Give me the greatest norm ever in the history of sports norms.
Sports norms. Nixon.
Is that going to be the best?

Speaker 3 The third guy on the Champion Lakers, the fourth guy on the Champion Lakers team, the fourth guy on a Champion Lakers team, Norm Nixon is going going to be.

Speaker 9 I know who Norm Nixon is, but tell Tony. I want Norm Nixon.

Speaker 3 Come on, Norman, not Norm.

Speaker 3 Norm outranks Norman. I'm looking for a great Norman.
So Norm outranks Norman, and sob doesn't outrank weeping outranks sobbing. Weeping has an emotional level to it that sobbing does not.

Speaker 3 All right, we're off to a roaring start here. Josh,

Speaker 20 this is the Don Levatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 3 That was a really great basketball game

Speaker 3 last night.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 Greg Cody insists that he's right about the Dolphins. And I will get to those things in a second.

Speaker 3 But I have to start with our old friend, Greg Cody, limping in here with his trick knee and a cane, a cane that has made him emotional for good reason.

Speaker 3 Jeremy asked me during the intro, is wailing a top bawling, sobbing, and weeping? Because I think

Speaker 3 wailing is, if we're talking about being in tears, I think weeping is the beginning of

Speaker 3 the highway toward your falling apart. Weeping is the beginning of that.
I think it goes weeping, sobbing, bawling, wailing. Where's crying?

Speaker 3 Crying's the starting point.

Speaker 3 Crying is ground zero.

Speaker 11 But where do you have blubbering on that list?

Speaker 10 Because blubbering, I don't know if that's above wailing, but it's right there.

Speaker 3 Blubbering has to be above sobbing, doesn't it? Although sobbing has some blubbering, does it not? Blubbering is a cartoon word.

Speaker 19 I think hysterical is obviously that's a very deep cry. I think wailing is the deep cry with like,

Speaker 19 like that's a wail, okay?

Speaker 3 And blubbering, blubbering, you also have snot bubbles. Blubbering is the...

Speaker 19 Yeah. That's snot bubbles.

Speaker 3 No, that's sniveling. That's sobbing.
That's sniveling.

Speaker 3 That is sobbing, too.

Speaker 18 So what are we calling this?

Speaker 9 Calling this the tears of tears?

Speaker 3 Ah, that's what we're doing, Roy. We're doing the tears of tears.

Speaker 1 An important tier, the no-shawn Moreno during the national anthem tier. Where does that rank? Because that is a massive tier.

Speaker 18 That's the fight in Detroit. That's what that is.

Speaker 3 All right, you guys got to figure out how it is to get me to the best of the ugly criers you've ever seen in sports because now we have to get to who classifies for wailing, bawling, sobbing, weeping in the history of sports?

Speaker 19 A good crier in sports, Thomas Hill. After Christian Leightner makes the shots.

Speaker 3 Thomas Hill, ugly crier. Can you guys think off of the top of your head of some time you have seen an athlete just sobbing?

Speaker 3 Oddly enough,

Speaker 3 the image that

Speaker 3 surprises me as we talk about it is Eudonis Haslam in the heat locker room in 2006. I don't think that's something

Speaker 3 that was public, but I just was startled by it because it's someone since I'd covered since high school and all of his emotion never looked like that. Like, obviously, you know how much he cares.

Speaker 19 That was sobbing.

Speaker 3 But yes, that was, yes, that was sobbing, and I was just caught off guard by it. I think sobbing has a volume to it.
Like, I don't think you sob quietly.

Speaker 3 I think if you're sobbing, someone else with their eyes closed knows it. That guy's sobbing because sobbing is a heaving.

Speaker 3 I think everything after weeping that we described here has a sound to it that you can hear with your eyes closed.

Speaker 18 How about Nancy Kerrigan? But that was more pain inflicted.

Speaker 3 Okay, but that was sobbing. That's wailing.
That's wailing.

Speaker 3 That's Jennings.

Speaker 9 I knew that was coming. He's right about that.
As soon as we said wailing,

Speaker 3 you have to. Anyway, the emotion that we were talking about with your cane.
You come in here in a cane. Your son told us yesterday.

Speaker 3 I also want to get to jump in Charlie because you were complaining about his weight gain and how generally unruly he is,

Speaker 3 your dog.

Speaker 3 But Chris is alleging, the reason we're talking about wailing, sobbing, and gnashing and all of these things is because Chris is alleging that you get more emotional now than you ever have, and you get emotional, he's claiming, over some small, small things like him just telling you that your granddaughter went to soccer practice.

Speaker 3 So what's happening with your cane right now?

Speaker 3 Well,

Speaker 3 here it is. Here, it's

Speaker 3 a lovely wooden cane that I got.

Speaker 18 Are you going to cry now? Because if you are, like, I got to mentally prepare.

Speaker 3 No, no, no.

Speaker 3 Prepare yourself.

Speaker 3 No, No, I'm not gonna cry right now, but this cane I believe it was bought in a in a in a deep south general store like in North Carolina or someplace and it was my dad's late in his life when he used a cane and this cane had not been touched for More than a decade.

Speaker 9 It had been I I did use it as my first foray as the owner of the cyclones I had a cowboy hat and a cane yeah but outside of that it hadn't been desecrating it or not I think it is desecrating it's I think honoring it.

Speaker 3 I think. Wait a minute.
What do you think?

Speaker 3 We need the judge.

Speaker 3 Is that honoring him or is it desecrating it? We'll get to the rest of the story, but let's make Zazlo. Give me the details again.

Speaker 3 Real quick. Make a ruling.
Greg Cody was alleging that this cane of his father's, wild Bill Cody, had not been used in 10 years. It had been in the garage or somewhere else?

Speaker 3 It had been on two nails.

Speaker 3 on top of a door in the garage.

Speaker 3 It's not been used by me in more than a decade. All right, hold on a second.

Speaker 3 Before we go down this path, that garage is an atrocity. If there is anything being honored, my atrocity.
It is your atrocity. That garage has been an atrocity for 40 years.
It is dirty.

Speaker 3 It is out of saw. It is awful.

Speaker 3 But if there is anything being honored in there, I might think that that's the only thing because there's nothing else that you put up on a wall to I've that's been above the door in your garage since your father was alive, I feel like.

Speaker 3 Correct.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 3 When did he pass away?

Speaker 3 2006.

Speaker 3 Okay, so that's the only thing in your garage that is an honor of any kind to anyone. Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 All right, so

Speaker 3 he's saying that it hadn't been taken off for 10 years, but one day old

Speaker 3 parasol-wielding owner of the Cyclones comes in there and says, I need something funny as an outfit for my owner of a high-light team. And he reaches up there.
It's probably dusty, right?

Speaker 3 It's probably got, because I don't see your father cleaning that a whole lot. You reach up there and you grab what you think is a gimmick to

Speaker 3 give your ownership of the highlight team some personality. And so the question before Zaz is: was Chris Cody honoring

Speaker 3 Wild Bill Cody or was he desecrating what was happening with Wild Bill Cody?

Speaker 12 All rise, the Honorable Jonathan Zaslow, now presiding with Prejudice.

Speaker 19 I need one final piece of information, and it comes from Greg Cody.

Speaker 11 Did you know

Speaker 19 that Christopher was taking the cane for this event?

Speaker 3 I don't believe I did.

Speaker 19 Now, with that said,

Speaker 10 how would you have felt if you knew that he was taking it for this event?

Speaker 3 I would have been taken aback a little bit. I would have been surprised.

Speaker 19 I made my ruling.

Speaker 3 Whoa.

Speaker 3 It's a disgrace. Oh, my God.
With One

Speaker 3 forgivable.

Speaker 19 Unforgiving. That's all I needed to hear.
That's the only information I needed right there. That's a disgrace.

Speaker 3 Well, I support the ruling. Okay, if it's true, if it is indeed true, and I'm not sure it is because I can see Greg forgetting, but

Speaker 3 I can also see his son not asking permission because he knew that permission was going to be no.

Speaker 9 Ask for forgiveness. Learn that from around here.

Speaker 3 Ask for forgiveness, not for permission. Yeah, I was trying to teach that the entire time at ESPN, and they never really believed in it.

Speaker 3 So tell us the story then. Forgive us for interrupting you.
Excellent ruling. Tony, good work by you.
In fact, you know, delayed penalty on Chris Cody for desecrating Wild Bill Cody's

Speaker 3 cane.

Speaker 9 Do a penalty for that?

Speaker 12 Minor penalty, two minutes, asshole.

Speaker 3 It's two minutes for asshole. It's not two minutes, comma, asshole.
Like, I don't know why they read it like that. It might be because they don't know how to do comedy.
Who did that?

Speaker 3 You know who did that? It's two minutes. Come on, you know.
It's two minutes for being an asshole, and it should be five minutes. Anyway, tell us the story of the video.

Speaker 3 Okay, I'm just curious, though, in the history of the show, who is the previous person penalized for desecrating a cane? I'm just curious how common that that particular person is.

Speaker 3 I was once disrespectful of Warren Sapp.

Speaker 3 Come on, that's a good joke. I saw what you did.
Come on, that's a good joke. In the local hour, a cane joke.

Speaker 3 No, that wasn't bad. Prejudice.
Thank you, Roy. The bad breath joke.
It wasn't bad breath. Oh, man, it's a legendary joke.

Speaker 3 Stugats got me in trouble with Warren Sapp for saying that he had chronic aleitosis. Did he? Yeah, but I told him that privately.
The truth is the best defense.

Speaker 20 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 3 Yeah, very good.

Speaker 9 Imagine if someone told you you couldn't have a Corvette.

Speaker 20 Stugats.

Speaker 3 I'm a grown-ass man

Speaker 3 who's not filthy rich. I can't afford a Lamborghini.
Well, I probably can, but that's possible.

Speaker 3 Hey!

Speaker 20 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 3 Anyway, the story of your cane. Okay, I didn't realize how much this cane meant to me until I started actually using it as a cane.
And it just made me think of my dad a lot.

Speaker 3 And sometimes sometimes if I do get emotional on my podcast I say things that are embarrassing and that I instantly wish I hadn't said but I admitted on my current episode that dropped yesterday that

Speaker 3 and I'm embarrassed to say it now but I was alone in my house one day gone

Speaker 3 and I kissed the cane and embraced it

Speaker 3 and

Speaker 3 It just,

Speaker 3 it felt good to do that. Why would you be embarrassed to say that? Because Because I'm kissing a piece of wood.

Speaker 3 It reminds you of your late father, though.

Speaker 3 You have

Speaker 3 very few things that keep him alive. This would be one of them.

Speaker 3 Very few material things that would keep him alive, certainly. And so that's a beautiful story.

Speaker 3 You shouldn't be embarrassed by that. Well, thank you.

Speaker 3 And in fact, I would say that after a lifetime of knowing you to be somewhat repressed with your feelings, it's not surprising to me that late in life, as you consider your mortality, you consider your dad's frailty when you didn't know him to be a frail man but at the end he needed to walk with a cane and you stubbornly tell your son that you don't want to use this cane but you come in with it today so you changed your mind here in the last couple of days something happened because he said that earlene was very frustrated with you because you weren't using the cane at home right yeah i you know i I think my knee's fine.

Speaker 3 I don't need anything.

Speaker 3 But she, and I saw the physical therapist yesterday for my first session and he said i should use the cane a little bit longer as well so i'm i'm i'm pleased to use the cane you know the greg cody show featuring greg cody with yeah does it have any other uh things in it that are uh teasable things that would make people go over there to hear about an old man hugging his wooden uh walking stick i mean kissing the shaft i i i talked a lot about uh your father desecrating again he's desecrating

Speaker 3 details to the audio audience

Speaker 3 Could have been the tip, could have been the handle.

Speaker 12 Penalty two minutes, asshole. I don't know.

Speaker 9 If I'm listening, if I'm only listening, I don't know where he kissed it.

Speaker 3 There is a funny exchange on the podcast. He says, Did you kiss the tip? Come on.
He just did the shaft joke. He did

Speaker 3 think about it all night.

Speaker 3 He said he saved that one for here. The tip was an exclusive.
Thank you, Chris. Nothing is sacred.
You're doing great work.

Speaker 3 The tip was an exclusive when you're executive producing the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. Nothing is sacred.
You turn it into the shaft when you're in here. Yes.

Speaker 19 Your father's talking about what your grandfather means to him, and you're talking about kissing a shaft.

Speaker 3 Thank you, Zaslow, for the support.

Speaker 3 Thank you for

Speaker 3 that clarification. Thank you for the support that is needed around here because that's disrespectful.
We'll get to the heat game in a second, and we'll get to Greg Cody being right in a second.

Speaker 3 But why has Jumping Charlie gotten fat? Well, how old's he? He's three and a half.

Speaker 3 Silly young dog, fully grown, but somehow growing.

Speaker 3 No, I think he's pushing 100 pounds now, 90, 95. And he just doesn't get enough exercise.
We tried taking him to the dog park. He won't have it.
He does run like a maniac in my backyard, but

Speaker 3 that's only so big.

Speaker 3 And so he gains a little bit of weight.

Speaker 3 There was a funny aside in the podcast when I'm trying to have a serious conversation with my granddaughter about about her betrayal on her

Speaker 3 punishment powers vote. And in the background.

Speaker 3 What does that mean? I mean,

Speaker 3 what did you just say? No, everybody.

Speaker 3 What did you just say? My granddaughter.

Speaker 3 I need your support. Greg.
I needed her support and she didn't give it. Greg.
What? You can't say my granddaughter. You got to give the audience more than that.

Speaker 3 You can't assume that everyone listening to this listens to every episode of the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody and knows what your granddaughter's betrayal means.

Speaker 3 What was the phrase you used after that? The punishment powers.

Speaker 3 We had a

Speaker 3 PFPI commissioner proposed a punishment power in which repeated offenders on the weekly deadline to submit picks would go through a series of

Speaker 3 warnings leading up to an eventual one-game. Tony has a question.

Speaker 14 Dan, when he talks about the PFPI and talks about the commissioner, isn't he the commissioner of said league?

Speaker 2 Yes, I am.

Speaker 16 So why didn't you just say say I put together a vote instead of the commissioner? It feels like that's more

Speaker 3 grandiose. I'm speaking in the third person because I'm honoring the office of the commissioner.
You know, whenever I refer to the league, it's uppercase L.

Speaker 9 I always turn in my picks late. So my dad, the commissioner, proposed: hey, if you're late

Speaker 9 more than a few times, you get punished. And we went around, everyone voted on whether this was fair.
And

Speaker 9 it all came out, it all came down to my daughter.

Speaker 12 Wow.

Speaker 3 And we needed a 5-3 majority vote. It ended up being a 4-4 vote.

Speaker 3 And I was betrayed by my youngest son, Michael, and by my granddaughter. I anticipated both of their support and got neither.
I need your support. Exactly.
Yes, I did. And she didn't give it.

Speaker 3 And so I was.

Speaker 3 I need your support. And so I was asking her on the podcast why she voted like she did.

Speaker 3 And in the middle of that serious conversation, the dog and the cat are hissing and clawing and just acting like animals in the background.

Speaker 3 They are. They are.

Speaker 3 They don't have to act like animals. They are.
They are my air. Okay, well, they act like animals, at least in part, because the cat is untrainable as a cat, and you've poorly trained.

Speaker 3 Jumping Charlie. You sent him out for boot camp, and he learned a few things that he does when he's at boot camp, but then he does whatever he wants at your house.

Speaker 3 And I've seen, like, this dog is unreasonable. And what's happening here between, like, I'm surprised that this doesn't escalate.
Let's see. Does this have sound?

Speaker 3 Because the video is great, but here is the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. You will see in the foreground, you will see his beloved cane that he hugs while weeping or sobbing or wailing.

Speaker 3 And you should, you know, you should not call that the tip or the shaft. It's his beloved uncle.

Speaker 3 His father did. It's wild Bill Cody's cane.
That's in the foreground. This is a work of art, what's happening right here in terms of look back into the past and here's what the 1950s looked like.

Speaker 4 Somebody in the league.

Speaker 3 Charlie and the cat.

Speaker 9 Hold on, Dad.

Speaker 3 We're getting a free show right here for our YouTube channel.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 9 That's two hisses from Charlie. I mean, from Ollie.

Speaker 3 No. Hey, Charlie, no.
No.

Speaker 3 That dog is not trained. That is not a trained animal.
What did he tear up here? He goes, look at this jerk. What did he tear apart?

Speaker 3 There was fluff all over the place. He's some controller.

Speaker 9 Like a blanket that stays on that couch.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's a dog blanket. It's fine.
It's fine.

Speaker 3 See, he's got fragments of blanket in his mouth. What the hell is that?

Speaker 3 That dog will kill me one day. I thought about that walking on a cane the other day.
If that dog unintentionally runs into me and knocks me off my pins, I'm in trouble.

Speaker 3 That has happened to me at the dog park with my dog where he hits me in the legs and I go straight down face first. I fear that.

Speaker 3 Which you don't want to have happen at a dog park because face first is just shit and you're it. Like, isn't that Dan Lebitzard?

Speaker 3 Yes, it was me. Doesn't he hire a dog walker?

Speaker 3 He gets up, he's got shit on his face. I mean, I could have.
I did.

Speaker 3 I could, it could have absolutely happened. Like, but there, but for the grace of God, do I not have shit all over my face as my dog has taken out one of my pins, as he called it?

Speaker 3 So, where are you on the cane? So you've come around and now, because I got to tell you, you walked in here today and you looked regal. I don't know.

Speaker 3 I have very rarely in my life felt softer toward you than watching you walk in here.

Speaker 3 You don't like to show weakness. You don't.

Speaker 3 You're a stubborn old man.

Speaker 9 Didn't the doctor tell you you're holding the cane with the wrong hand?

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 No, not the doctor, the physical therapist yesterday.

Speaker 3 In the first five seconds of seeing me, he says, you're holding the cane wrong. We're going to get to that right away.
Well, it is funny. It's your right knee, correct? Yeah.

Speaker 3 You've been holding the cane in your left hand the entire time. So that's the correct time.
The correct way. It is? Is it? Yes.
No, it's not. Yes, it is.

Speaker 10 Look it up, as I like to say.

Speaker 9 So, you're saying you had it in your right hand when he told you you were doing it correctly?

Speaker 3 I thought, I was, I thought,

Speaker 3 that you're keeping weight off of the leg. I thought so too, erroneously.
No, all the cane people out there, all my canes stand up, but carefully.

Speaker 3 They're all the cane is is in replacement.

Speaker 3 Exactly. Thank you.
It's a golden thing. No, everybody's nodding like a bobblehead because I'm right.
The cane is in replacement of the leg. All I can tell you is

Speaker 3 I think you've got a quack.

Speaker 11 According to Google AI, Greg Cody is right.

Speaker 10 You hold it in the opposite hand of your weak or injured leg.

Speaker 3 Hello. I need your support.
Hello.

Speaker 3 You don't trust me. You were wrong.
I've been walking this earth for 70 years. I mean, in our defense, you were wrong yesterday.
Gaining information every step of the way.

Speaker 3 I want to get that off the ground as a celebration when you are maximum right about something.

Speaker 3 You summon some Ethel Merman, some Shirley Temple, and you just say, hello. Yeah, and

Speaker 3 if you want to make the E and A, I don't object. Hello.

Speaker 1 You know, he's going to be done an hour or two, right?

Speaker 3 He's got nothing left after this. What a heater.

Speaker 7 Like he has given us 25 minutes,

Speaker 3 25 minutes of flames.

Speaker 3 He's throwing 107 out of the bullpen. I've missed him so much.
He's never been weaker or stronger.

Speaker 3 I don't have eyebrows. I mean, he singed me.
He is totally on fire.

Speaker 3 Can you tell me the hello? That's as victorious as I've ever heard you.

Speaker 3 It's the world's strangest victory lap and I can't believe you're right about this I believe that the audience sides with us in thinking that the cane is something that is put on the side of the body so that you're not making the leg that is surgically repaired weight-bearing I thought the exact same thing for for for days I was walking like this

Speaker 3 because it was my right knee. And that does keep pressure off it.
It makes it hurt less to walk that way, right? The other way, you're putting full weight on your right knee.

Speaker 3 That's what I would have thought, but that's the first thing the physical therapist said. He identified a man using a cane in his wrong hand and instructed me.
And sure enough, it's accurate.

Speaker 3 It doesn't make any sense to me. It makes no sense.
It doesn't make sense to me either.

Speaker 3 We need to get a physical therapist on the line to explain the who's and what for us.

Speaker 3 But I know now I'm walking correctly with a cane.

Speaker 10 Cleveland Clinic says that if you have an injured or weaker side, you hold your cane on the opposite or stronger side.

Speaker 10 And presumably, that's because if you're going to be exerting force on that cane, you're going to be needing to support yourself.

Speaker 10 You're using your stronger side to do so, despite the fact that seemingly it doesn't allow you to take the weight off of that leg.

Speaker 12 When I think about the holidays, I think about the little moments with my dog, Roma, the ones that make the season feel special.

Speaker 3 Put little elf ears on her.

Speaker 4 You know the deal.

Speaker 5 Take some selfies, post it for people that have probably seen it too much.

Speaker 1 I love my dog.

Speaker 12 That's what I'm trying to get at.

Speaker 7 That's why I'm joining Chewy Claws, who's out here making pets' wishes come true.

Speaker 17 From November 4th through December 24th, you can share your pet's wish at chewy.com slash chewy claws. It might come true.

Speaker 6 And it helps others too.

Speaker 12 And if you share your pet's wish through the Chewy app, they'll double that donation. That's 10 meals for pets in need just for participating.

Speaker 16 I've been using Chewy for years, legitimately. They've made my life easier for me and my dog Roma.

Speaker 12 Food, toys, meds, all of it shows up fast, no stress.

Speaker 6 And being part of something like Chewy Claws, where a small thing like a wish can make a real impact, that's the kind of stuff I care about.

Speaker 17 Every pet deserves a wish come true. Send your pet's wish to chewy.com/slash chewyclaws.
It might become a reality. Plus, your wish means Chewy will donate five meals to pets in need.

Speaker 20 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 3 Teammates can't shoot from three. Now they're gonna see a different Jimmy.
Now he's just just playing.

Speaker 3 Nickel back in the locker room.

Speaker 20 And two guts.

Speaker 3 They'll play D and show threes as they chase the gnats for the sixth seat. These five words in his head.
Scream are we winning games yet?

Speaker 20 This is the Dan Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 3 I'm very confused. As am I, as I imagine the audience is.
And when Jeremy mentions Cleveland Clinic, it was Miami's clinic last night. Cleveland had it fall on their head at the end of the game.

Speaker 3 What a segue.

Speaker 3 What a segue. What a night.
Wow. Can you guys tell me, even understanding, that Eric Spolstra had the worst season of his life last year?

Speaker 3 He's calling a timeout at the end of the game that he doesn't have, just costing his team the game.

Speaker 3 His percentage point rating with the GMs in the league who vote on such things went down because Eric Spolstra had a bad year last year. The results were bad and he had a bad year.

Speaker 3 Everything that Eric Spolstra was about sort of got torched from the inside on the last flames of Jimmy Butler. Have fun with that golden state.

Speaker 3 What Miami has done in the interim is what it usually does, which is guy you thought was nothing gets here and is better than that, or guy you may have thought was underrated gets here and becomes a lot better than that.

Speaker 3 Norman Powell must be frustrated, snubbed for the all-star game last year, that he had to be in the shadow of three guys with the Clippers who now flail without him.

Speaker 3 They lost last night to Atlanta at home. They're relying on James Harden to be the center of that team.
And Norman Powell has been given the opportunity in Miami that Tyreek Hill. was given in Miami.

Speaker 3 Hey, cared about basketball all your life? Care the way Yodonis Haslam cares when he's sobbing in the locker room? Care to be the number one here?

Speaker 3 And wow, more points through seven games by a lot than any heat player. You trust him because he can do all of the things offensively, like all of them.

Speaker 3 It's not just Hakez now who's not giving you necessarily threes. Powell can do all of the things offensively.
You're playing Cleveland and you're holding off at the end.

Speaker 3 A barrage from Sam Merrill and Donovan Mitchell making the most ridiculous of

Speaker 10 cheating on that last play though.

Speaker 3 I can't take that play away from Donovan Mitchell even if he had been behind the bench.

Speaker 3 Like if so far out of bounds, like I have to give him that shot because to not give him that shot would be wrong. That's Khalil Ware coming at him.

Speaker 3 And Andy's just, that whole sequence at the end was ridiculous. I believe Cleveland's the best team in the East.
I'm not saying anything shocking there.

Speaker 3 For the last couple of years, I felt like they have been, except they can't beat New York.

Speaker 3 They don't have a chance against New York because every time they play New York, New York matches up well against them. But Donovan Mitchell's a special player.

Speaker 3 And at the end of what that game was yesterday, he made a special shot that had former Heat member Thomas Bryant on the Cavs bench making the face we were all making, which is like, how the hell did he make that?

Speaker 3 That's the tallest player on the court, one of the most athletic coming at him, arms outstretched.

Speaker 3 He's got his back to the basket and he turns around and just throws up a shot that's a good deal higher than the average shot. Like he was out of bounds.

Speaker 3 Like, okay, but the flight, are we in agreement that the flight of the ball was not even a normal jump shots flight?

Speaker 3 Like, this is a punt landing in the basket, and you're going to keep doing out of bounds?

Speaker 19 Well, yeah, because if you go out of bounds, that's cheating.

Speaker 12 Twice it looked like it went out.

Speaker 19 Yeah, he was definitely out of bounds. I have no idea if they can or if they did review it, but he was out of bounds.
That's it.

Speaker 16 The parabola of the shot was like Steph Curry versus Wemby-ish, right? Remember when Steph had to throw it up, basically?

Speaker 14 Because Wemby, who's 19 feet tall, was like standing over him, lording over him?

Speaker 3 That's kind of the same thing.

Speaker 19 And if you don't think that I was going to be pissed off if the Heat lost that game and they didn't call the out of bounds, you don't know me.

Speaker 3 You should file a lawsuit.

Speaker 19 Well, no, I don't have to. They won.
It's okay.

Speaker 19 But if they lost, could have been a problem for a lot of people.

Speaker 3 But the end of that game, when I'm talking about Eric Spolstra, I really, I really don't know. Like, Kenny Atkinson's a good coach.

Speaker 3 He has helped the Cavs become a lot better by unlocking the usage rate of Evan Mobley, who's a beast on the offensive boards. It's a really good basketball team.
And

Speaker 3 what happened at the end of that game is just a

Speaker 3 coaching surgery. And now you need your players to execute, okay? And Sam Merrill blew the assignment.
I'm not even sure he should be on the floor in that spot.

Speaker 3 I don't think he should be on the floor, but okay.

Speaker 3 Sam Merrill, as a kind of specialist like Duncan Robinson, I actually missed that kind of guy. He don't have one of those,

Speaker 3 that kind of guy that will just spot up and shoot threes and will shoot 12 a game and we'll get you back into a game quickly.

Speaker 3 What happened at the end of that game surgically cannot happen to a coach, cannot happen to a team.

Speaker 3 You cannot allow that shot to be that easy at the basket when there are only four tenths of a second left in a basketball. We all knew that's what they were going to try and do.

Speaker 19 Like, you'd have to figure Kenny Atkinson had a clue that's what they were going to do.

Speaker 3 The only thing you cannot allow, even if you have to put five guys, if you have to put five guys under the basket, the thing that you can't let that happen there is that game to end that way with four tenths of a second left.

Speaker 10 Kenny Atkinson might have had a clue, but he was in the locker room because he was ejected earlier for his second technical. So it was the Cavs' assistant coaches who were trying to defend this play.

Speaker 9 And they seemed rattled a few times.

Speaker 3 They had multiple moments. Look,

Speaker 10 unlike baseball, you're not expecting to be without your head coach, particularly in a close game late where there's all these shots being made.

Speaker 19 They kept showing the assistants. They were constantly huddled up, huddling up

Speaker 3 in-game. Hey, Jesus, this is good right now.
Yeah, they were constantly figuring things out while we don't have

Speaker 10 a hierarchy the way that the Heat do. And it actually wasn't even Eric Spolstra who drew up that play.
He has had this play on his list for the last several years, he said.

Speaker 10 For I believe four years, he's had this play sitting on his list.

Speaker 11 Didn't they label Jimmy Butler like that recently?

Speaker 10 Yes, against the Rockets a couple of years ago, labeled CQ for Chris Quinn. And he said, rather than articulating the play himself, he just

Speaker 10 was 10 feet away. I watched him hand the clipboard off to Chris Quinn, and he was able to

Speaker 10 diagram that play himself, articulate it to the player. You happen to know that's what happened?

Speaker 11 I watched it happen.

Speaker 11 He was 10 feet away.

Speaker 3 I'm standing right there. The 10 feet away was not necessary.
I think it was. It added a lot.
It took me there. Thank you, Jeremy.
You're very welcome.

Speaker 10 Everyone's standing. If you really want the picture, Pan, everybody is standing.
I'm standing in the tunnel, right, getting ready. It's me and one of the ushers who I always get to see.

Speaker 10 And he's always like, I don't know why you're here. You're going to give me a heart attack.

Speaker 10 Because pretty much every single game that I call for whatever reason, it ends up being a really close game late. And so everyone is standing.

Speaker 6 I'm standing just behind.

Speaker 10 standing just behind the front row of folks where a couple of people have already left after uh regulation and I have a nice view of Nico Jovich ahead of me on the opposite side,

Speaker 10 right? And he's standing there and you could see it. Evan Mobley is defending him as this play is about to start.

Speaker 10 But then for whatever reason, those assistant coaches that we said, you know, we're really struggling, they take Evan Mobley off of the inbounder.

Speaker 10 They put him with Jaime Jakez on the opposite baseline. Donovan Mitchell now defending the inbounder, and he's facing backwards, just looking for that inbound pass.

Speaker 10 Because with 0.4 seconds left, of course, you can get a shot off. Norman Powell's been hot all game, so they've got him running from the baseline up toward the top of the key.

Speaker 10 When that happens, you see Mitchell sort of shift that way. You see Sam Merrill defending Davion Mitchell.

Speaker 3 You had to know that. Quarter penalty changes.

Speaker 3 Trampling.

Speaker 1 He's breaking down the play, Your Honor. Objection.
You're breaking down the play real quick.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Real Real quick? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 I'm painting a picture.

Speaker 3 Who are you wearing?

Speaker 3 Express. Thank you.
All right. Look, let's just get

Speaker 3 the video or just the visuals of Jeremy after the game. His enthusiasm.

Speaker 3 This is not me. You are right.

Speaker 3 Tony, you are correct. That was the correct ruling to make.
As someone who was there in the action, the describing of the play at the end with maximum information is the way to go.

Speaker 3 But I have to be honest here. Okay, I've been hovering over that button for about two minutes as I always am when he starts talking.
I'm glad you found it. And Roy was smiling the entire time.

Speaker 3 And the only show Roy was doing was watching me hover over this button. And as I do this, Lewis puts in cue journalist Jeremy.

Speaker 3 And what I get to see on the screen is the same giddy guy who walked in today with the strut. And he was waving a parasol around.
Heat are good. Heat are good again.

Speaker 3 And so look at him here in the the middle of the action. That's closer than 10 feet away.
Look at Jeremy's face. I want you to close up on the side of his face.
That is not a journalist.

Speaker 18 Eric Reed called him the team's good luck charm when he thought it was a good idea.

Speaker 3 Look at him. Look what's happening right here.

Speaker 3 And so that. Ah, happiness.
Who would want that? He's been eating it for about a year because of how bad the heat were last year and what a messy conundrum they were last year.

Speaker 3 But This heat team scores, and I will tell you that while this is very exciting, and I do get excited about Norman Powell as a number one in a week east, it's still Norman Powell as your number one.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, this season is going to be, the Miami Heat are going to be better than we thought they were going to be. Norman Powell is going to be a good number one if he is healthy.

Speaker 3 But it's not where heat expectations are.

Speaker 3 The franchises. Like, I understand that it's small-minded and

Speaker 3 man, oh, man, like,

Speaker 3 it's almost cruel, the standard that they've set, but number one is the standard, not eight seed, not six seed, but this team is good enough to be a four seed in the East.

Speaker 19 Baby steps, man. Like, why can't this year be similar to what 2004 was, where it was this unexpected team, this unexpected season with a lot of really good young players? And guess what?

Speaker 19 Now we're going to pool these really good young players and we're going to get a super duperstar.

Speaker 5 Jeremy's calling them the Pacers from last year, so that's where he's going.

Speaker 10 Well, I am just wondering, like, why we can look at this team. Like, you say Norman Powell is a number one.

Speaker 10 Norman Powell was brought here to be their number three option offensively, because the offense often runs through Bam at a bio, and then Tyler Hero has been their lead scorer.

Speaker 10 Either way, even if you want to make them 1A, 1B, 1C in what they're doing offensively.

Speaker 3 He's their best offensive.

Speaker 10 Their pace and the way that they're playing offense, they only set nine picks yesterday. Nine picks in an overtime game where they had a 123 offensive rating.
That is insane.

Speaker 10 That is not something that happens in basketball. And with this free-flowing offense, it doesn't really matter who your number one

Speaker 10 per se is. What matters is that you have several different options and several different playmakers, which they have, whether it's Jaime Hawke, Nico Jovich, these guys coming off the bench,

Speaker 10 they have mismatches and they're going to continue as they get healthy. That's great, but...

Speaker 14 When the playoffs come and it's a half-court game and you're not running in pace and you're not scoring 140 points a game, who's your dog?

Speaker 14 Who's your alpha guy who's going to go get you a bucket in crunch time but he'd have tyler hero jaime like okay

Speaker 3 like how to buy you like this is the place that i would i would just stop you this is the place and this is the cutting edge that i would say it's fair to say the heat have been uh pioneering on

Speaker 3 on the revolution of basketball over the last 15 years of positionless basketball

Speaker 3 The reason to be excited about this heat team, you can use all of those old metrics and and they're fair because they've always been fair throughout basketball.

Speaker 3 Who's your end of the game guy in the playoffs has been a true thing throughout the playoffs since we've been watching basketball.

Speaker 3 However, with the pieces they have that they were unwilling to trade for yesterday's star in Kevin Durant, a basketball culture franchise, and I'm not going to, let me take back culture because it annoys people.

Speaker 3 Just what these people do in revolutionizing whatever the future looks like. To take the offense and be like, no picks, we're just going to go after Jimmy Butler ball bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.

Speaker 3 Jimmy Butler bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. Like to go from that to we don't care who the star is, I'd love to believe in that.

Speaker 3 It's just at no time in history, except when the Pistons beat the Lakers because Kobe and Shaq hated each other, has that ever won.

Speaker 3 And what you'd be trusting here is that the Heat know more about how to evolve their maximum pieces than other teams do.

Speaker 3 But the reason they didn't trade these guys guys is because they knew it looked like this. Like we didn't know, but they absolutely knew that this is what it would look like.
Like they had no...

Speaker 9 Also, Jeremy knew.

Speaker 3 That's right.

Speaker 3 That's an interesting thing, though, when you think of the architects of like, okay, now we got Jimmy out of here. And man, that year hurt.
Like everything about what that did to us hurt.

Speaker 3 Anybody want to play here where we don't care who the number one is? Anybody want to play here where we do not care? Because Norman Powell is coming from the perfect situation. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 The shadow of Hardin and Kawhi and nobody knows how good that guy was last year. Nobody knows.
Like, how do you get that for Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson? And then, of course, you put him in this.

Speaker 3 You put him in this cauldron, and it gets better.

Speaker 19 Greg, you liked that trade right away.

Speaker 4 I did.

Speaker 3 I was all over it. Thank you.

Speaker 3 Really appreciated that trade.

Speaker 9 Biggest reason for Clippers' falloff, losing Norman Powell or Pablo Torre?

Speaker 3 Who put it on the Polto Trouble? Oh, Pablo, no doubt. I need your support.

Speaker 2 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Speaker 3 What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 4 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think it could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 3 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 7 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Speaker 6 The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo.

Speaker 4 So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 8 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 2 The tequila that invented tequila.
