The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: America Has Spoken

Episode Date: November 6, 2024

Today's Cast: Dan, Stugotz, Greg, Chris, Billy, Mike, Amin, Jeremy/Steve Kornhacky. Dan is distraught as we begin today's show, so we're getting to the things that matter, how did the Heat give up a 1...5-point lead in the 3rd quarter yet again? Taylor has a new song, but will only allow us to play it if Juan Soto leaves the Yankees. What is the origin of the term "Hot Stove"? Then, finally, the crew breaks down the big results of the night...the College Football Playoff rankings, especially where Indiana ended up as a 9-0 Big 10 team. Plus, huge news out of Washington: the Washington Commanders traded for Marshon Lattimore to the surprise of Mike Ryan. Also, we discuss one of the most disgusting things in show history involving a fight over bathroom hygiene between Greg Cote and his wife. Finally, Dan addresses the elephant in the room after the results of last night's election show that America has emphatically chosen to re-elect Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.

Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout
Starting point is 00:01:11 the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. I am truly, truly shell shocked. You can't let Sabonis get an offensive rebound in that spot. Not with under a second left in the game. We didn't get to this somehow yesterday. We got a sleepless Greg Cody in with us. He doesn't understand why we've got toilet paper
Starting point is 00:01:36 stacked up in the corner of the room. He didn't get the joke. He comes in, sees dozens of toilet paper rolls, one ply in the corner and is looking at it and just is like, why is that in here? Sickly. I don't use one ply. When you're gonna buy 70 of them,
Starting point is 00:01:52 you go with the cheaper one. Just don't. No. You can't go one ply. It's an expensive joke. You can't go one ply there. No, you can't. I'd triple up on it. Rather use my hand than one ply.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Oh, hell yeah. I didn't even know they made one ply. Is that right? Yeah, you gotta visit my mother-in-law. Absolute savage hat lady. Amin came in here today on a red eye and didn't learn until minutes ago the result of the election.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Came in purposely, didn't have his phone, and he had a sense from the general somber around here of what happened, but didn't actually know until seconds ago. Dan, I had my phone with me all day yesterday. I made it a point, I said, you know what? I'm just gonna enjoy life. So I watched TV, I played video games, I was on TikTok, and I was on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I was on Twitter, I managed to look at all of my social media, fairly regularly yesterday, and never once catching a whiff of what happened. The first hint I got was yesterday about 9 p.m. Arizona time, where my dad started groaning, and I said, I don't know, I don't wanna know. He says, well it's not looking good. I said, I I don't know, I don't wanna know. He says, well it's not looking good. I said, I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know.
Starting point is 00:03:08 But that was my first hint. How do you do Twitter without seeing Elon's tweets? Seriously, it's just all I see when I open that app. You gotta hurry up and click following. Cause for you, the algo's game. No, you guys are doing this not nearly as self centered enough, I'm just in my mentions. I'm just living in my bubble.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Hey, what's the Cinephobe movie this week? Hey, do what you guys say on Oddball. Like, that's all I did. I envy your mentions, because if you were doing that with me, it was pretty unavoidable. Yeah. One of the things that is happening here, because I am obviously heartbroken, sad, angry.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Greg Cody has come in here, though, without any sleep, and that promises a good show. Greg Cody has been up all night. Him and his wife have been pacing around the house. Chris, officially, your parents are grandparents who wander around muttering at the television about the future of America, Chris, officially, your parents are grandparents who wander around muttering at the television about the future of America,
Starting point is 00:04:08 and they're totally right to be worried. Yeah, railing, putting fists in the air, shaking fists at nobody or nothing. I mean, it was pretty clear, or an 11, wasn't it? No, it was, because, first of all, Steve Koronecki talks too much, but when he shows those stats that indicate she has lost, she is underperforming what Biden did four years ago,
Starting point is 00:04:31 consistently in all the swing states, in all the major counties, that's a death knell. And that was being repeated. So you had an idea that is not going well. To your point, I thought John King outplayed Kornacki last night. What? I went into the night, I tweeted about Kornacki, he brought it, his first 20 minutes,
Starting point is 00:04:49 and I'm not saying Kornacki was bad. Look, he was good. John King brought it last night. John King has the little bubbles that can tell me where the votes are outstanding. Kornacki doesn't have that bubble. So once I saw John King had the bubbles that could tell me where we're waiting for votes,
Starting point is 00:05:03 I'm staying with John King. Kornacki, you need the with John I'm hearing more need the bubbles I'm hearing more criticism of corn hacky here than I have anywhere in the American media in the history of Steve Cornack Like I said Pro corn hacky not saying he was bad John King brought it last both of you are down on You're both down on old Steve. Well, how dare they rip off Steve cornacky? He's the original though. Even though he talks too much they give him way too much Mike. But there can't be imposters.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Speaking of way too much Mike. He dyes his hair. I thought the same thing. Kornacki. Kornacki was before John King? They're on different networks. No I know that but I'm saying you said that they ripped like John King you're accusing of ripping off Steve Kornacki's bit. Who had the magic wall first? I don't think that's so I could have sworn John King had it first. Yeah You know what Greg I've been wrong about a lot of things you just had a political writer Mike's right though about Kornacki definitely using some product Is your dad right about him when he says he's talking too much? Because that's not something I've ever heard as a criticism.
Starting point is 00:06:08 They do give him a lot. They're just like, you go. Thank you. But he does well. Like, I'm learning when I'm watching him, whereas the other is just pundits. I'm just hearing opinions. When you're with Kornacki and King, you're getting the, what exactly is going on. Can I say something else that really annoyed me last night, beyond the result?
Starting point is 00:06:24 I happen to be watching MSNBC. Okay, not to drop a name They have this big how is that dropping a name? What did I know they have this big? MSNBC you just said a name Again to that kind of things on just nonsense Look, he hasn't slept. This promises to be a great one. I'm telling you that we have the possibility. A scared, sleepless Greg Cody is gonna be walking into the walls.
Starting point is 00:06:53 He's already given us to board that kind of thing. Right, I'm not scared, just resigned. But MSNBC plays this big dramatic sound like they have an announcement coming up. Big dramatic sound, flourish of horns. Exit polls. Projection, projection. Okay?
Starting point is 00:07:13 You're projecting projection. And here's their projection. Here's their projection. The race for president in Illinois has gone from too early to call, to too close to call. That's their projection. That's an update. It's barely that.
Starting point is 00:07:31 If your projection is that it's too close to call, you know nothing. The projection should be, brr, we know nothing. That should be the projection. I feel like that's what we did yesterday with this exchange. North Turner back as a consultant. I feel like that's what we did. We had the giant sound of projection.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Here's breaking news. Norv Turner returns as a consultant. Yeah, and consultant means so much. Consultants do nothing. Consultants get paid $100,000 for zero, for doing nothing. Dan Marino has been a Miami Dolphins consultant for I don't know how many years. What the hell is he doing? It's a fair point.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Put it on the poll, Jeter, at LeBittard Show. Do consultants get $100,000 for doing nothing at LeBittard Show? You're complaining about consultants, you're complaining about the coverage and Kornacki talking too much. He's dropping names. You're dropping names of MSNBC. Nothing personal with Dan Marino, by the way. We love Dan Marino. You're lashing out today. It's an emotional day.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Consult better, Dan. Weird what in the world of consulting yesterday, you guys see the big news last night? Skip Schumacher is now like a senior advisor at Texas Rangers, some people thought he's gonna come in, he's gonna manage a team, no. Going to Texas, senior advisor. Friend of the show.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I couldn't believe that in the eating area this morning, you and Taylor cornered Rose and just buried her in hot stove talk. She had no interest in anything you guys were talking about. I don't think Billy had any interest. Oh no, it was fascinating. I couldn't believe how much interest
Starting point is 00:09:12 Billy had in the hot stove. Well, because we went in a situation where Taylor is there and he's kinda, he's bad mouthing Volpe, which I don't think you could do if you're a Yankees fan, but he's like, I don't want Volpe, but no one's gonna take him. He's like, I'd take Corey Seeger on the team,
Starting point is 00:09:25 and then by the end of the conversation, he convinced himself he wants Joey Wendell instead of Corey Seeger, a two-time World Series MVP. And he's like, you know who I would take at first base? Take Carl Santana at first base. I feel like he'd be good at first base. I'm like, what a charmed life he lives where he can just choose whatever free agency he wants
Starting point is 00:09:43 and they're probably gonna go. Also, I was told not to do this, but I'm gonna do this, Dan, because I love you. What a charmed life he lives where he can just choose whatever free agency wants. They're probably gonna go also I was told not to do this, but I'm gonna do this Dan because I love you. I Don't know for this pain when we say love you to each other, but here's the thing He has already prepared a song for Juan Soto leaving the Yankees But has forbade us from playing that song until Juan Soto leaves the Yankees were like, but what if he resigns like well Then we could play it too. So I'm like, so it's just like, once he decides where he's going, we could play this song. He's like, yeah, but like not a second before.
Starting point is 00:10:09 So we're not playing that song today. We can't, even if you want to and you're his boss, you can't force him to do it. It's not happening. I will admit, just hearing the name Joey Wendell was a nice cleanse this morning. No, it was nice. You don't want Joey Wendell on your team.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Joey Wendell, like, oh, he doesn't use batting gloves. That's cool. Imagine a world where you could have Corey Seeger, Joey Wendell, and you're like, don't want Joey Wendell on your team. Joey Wendell, like, oh, he doesn't use batting gloves. That's cool. Imagine a world where you could have Cory Seeger, Joey Wendell, and you're like, I'll take Joey Wendell. Crazy! I had Joey Wendell down here. Son of an umpire. I love him, I'm sure he's nice.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Good for you, Greg. Now he's right. I don't want him. Billy stomped out of the eating area, yelling about, you don't want Joey Wendell, and the part that I'm confused by this morning is that I came in here today and I think that if I were to either televise or broadcast in any way
Starting point is 00:10:55 the Taylor and Billy sports show, that people would love it. That it got so deep into the Big Ten and the hot stove that I couldn't believe. You gotta put Indiana higher. I couldn't believe the level of interest in sports in the eating area this morning. Best case scenario for Indiana,
Starting point is 00:11:12 they lose to Ohio State, they don't make it to the conference championship game, and then they remain a one-loss team, then they can sneak into the playoff. That's what they're hoping for. Dude, that is the path. That's what they need. If you're a Hoosier, that's what you're praying for.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Yeah, you want no part of a conference championship game for Indiana. No part of it. They'll hold it against Indiana because they are not a football blue blood. You think that's what the coach is saying to them in the team meeting this morning? Signetti's a little bit out there.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I think that he's telling them, like, we want it all. Yeah, like I think Signetti seems like the kind that like he'll get hit by a car to motivate his team. Like he'll have a car drive up and hit him in front of his team just to get him amped up. Also, he's gone next year, right? We can agree.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Signetti's gone. Definitely gone. Yeah. I think with Taylor, Dan, I'm gonna be honest with you, and it chases me to say this, I'm a bit of a veteran here now. I'm a bit of an old head, if you will, right? So I try to learn these young pups
Starting point is 00:12:04 and tell them about Joey Wendell I've had Joey Wendell. I've been through the Joey Wendell experience I talked myself into I'd like Joey Wendell, but I'm trying to tell him don't make the same mistakes I've made I've been through this wisdom. I've lived this life KG vet. Would you try to tell America? You don't want Joey. We're an elder. I'm sure I you're basically a baseball elder at this I'm trying to impart my life experiences not not tell him, well this I directly told him, you don't want Joey Wendell, but I'm trying to kind of guide him down the path
Starting point is 00:12:30 so that he doesn't get hurt the same way I get hurt by the Joey Wendels of the world. But it's only one way to learn. Why is it called a hot stove? Does anybody know, because that's a very old timey phrase. Well, because it gets hot to cook. But who's on a stove? Like things are cooking. I think that's why it's called. Why is it called the hot stove? The smoking
Starting point is 00:12:50 skillet would be a better phrase than hot stove. To my great shame, Howard Bryant explained this to me and I've forgotten why. Really? Oh good. Bryant knows though. You get MSNBC too? No, Greg Cody, not to name drop, not to name drop, but he was watching MSNBC last night. Greg, you miss the days when a child would learn from touching a hot stove, right? Yeah. That's how you used to learn the children. You used to say, don't touch that,
Starting point is 00:13:16 and then you kinda, in the back of your head, you're like, touch it. Yeah, one spin. Touch it so you learn, because if you just listen to me, you're not gonna learn. It's a gag, one spin and twice shy. MLB.com has a definition, origin,
Starting point is 00:13:27 in the early days of baseball, hot stove season referred to an actual baseball season. Hot stove leagues in which MLB players would stay in shape by playing baseball in their hometowns while staying warm with actual hot stoves. I have no idea what any of that means. Okay, you read it poorly. Did I?
Starting point is 00:13:44 To boot, it's not just that you didn't retain anything you were saying. I have a idea what any of that means. Okay, you read it poorly. Did I? To boot, it's not just that you didn't retain anything you were saying. For me, that was pretty. I have a different definition. It goes back to the late 19th century when Greg was born. People would gather around a literal hot stove and discuss during the off season baseball and baseball moves they'd like to see.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And it was very intense. And it was warm, also, right? It was cold and then it kept them warm during a difficult time. Yeah. How about that? Can I just ask you guys, because I am admittedly ignorant here, I've seen a lot of box scores, I've not seen a lot of Indiana football this year. But because I've seen those box scores, I do tend to wonder, you guys are giving this team no chance whatsoever against the Penn States of the world.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I know Ohio State we regard as a different kind of animal, but you guys don't think that Indiana could be one of the legitimately top teams in the country based on what you've seen. They didn't trail through their first eight games. I know the schedule's not very strong. And then when they got down 10 on Saturday, they ended up winning by 50.
Starting point is 00:14:43 What are you talking to, Billy? Yeah. Because I believe in Indiana. They've been covering machines. They've been dominant. They've played nobody. They played Michigan coming up this weekend. They're at Ohio State in a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:14:54 We'll see. They played nobody. They're TCBing inside of what is reputed to be, if not the best, the second best conference in the nation. They're scoring 50 every game is what I'm saying, no matter who they're playing. No one teams out. And it hasn't mattered who their quarterback is, they just take care of business week in
Starting point is 00:15:12 and week out. Are they as good as Ohio State? Maybe not, we'll find out. But are they comparable to Penn State? It would appear that way. I would give them a chance. And if they make it through their regular season with one loss and have that ideal scenario in which they don't go to a title game which we're told won't be held against them but it's Indiana. It would be. They're absolutely a
Starting point is 00:15:33 playoff team. How do you keep a one-loss big 10 team out of that tournament? We believe in them. We just don't think that they're going to beat the number two team in the country right now and then we don't think if they make it to the championship game that they're gonna win the championship game, and in that case, a two loss, Indiana's not gonna make the playoff. That's all we're saying. They're doing what they gotta do, to Mike's point. They're TCBing right now.
Starting point is 00:15:54 They're blowing people out. They have some statement wins. They have statement games there, but now they're getting their conference. Michigan should be one that they win, right? Michigan's having a down year, we know that. Ohio State, that's a whole other animal. Indiana's a poor man's Miami.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh. They're nine and oh. Everybody criticizes the schedule, but I believe if the two played on a neutral field, Miami would win pretty easily. Well, that's a weird brag. Okay, that's strange. I mean, they're about the same, I would say.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I would say they're about the same. The rankings don't suggest that. Yeah, I mean, they're about. I'm with Greg. Well, it's just all expertise that I love hearing from people that told me they haven't watched Indiana all season just 10 seconds ago. Correct. I thought you played them tough. I watched that whole game. I watched Miami a lot. Yeah. Have you? I'll tell you right now after Greg's NASCAR take, I'm with him on every single sports day. Thank you. That was so brilliant. Thank you. Stugatz

This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats.
Starting point is 00:19:14 ["Don Lebatard Show Theme"] I was very disappointed by deadline day yesterday. Our last bit of news before we left here was that Norv Turner is a consultant for somebody. Big news of the day. But as soon as we left, all of a sudden you get some movement, some legitimate movement. You get Marshawn Latimore traded from the Saints to the Commanders. The Commanders are a buyer here because they're seven and two for the first time this century.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I miss that one. Is that legit? Yeah. Wow, that is a really big move for them. I know, Commanders going for it right now. That is a great move for them. I'm bullish on their chances now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:04 What was the number one movement from yesterday? Well, now that I'm hearing that, that for me, supplants Zedaria Smith. Khalil Herbert, not gonna be a sexy one, but gives the Cincinnati Bengals exactly what they need. Do you know that the Bengals in their history have only made four in-season trades throughout their entire history?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Wow. The Bengals traditionally are mom and pop shop run on coupons. One of the rare cheap NFL teams. You do not find a lot of those. I wanna ask you guys what you made because when we were on yesterday, you guys were telling me that the Cowboys were sellers because they got Jonathan Mingo for a fourth round pick.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Can any of you explain to me why Mike Williams goes for a fifth and Deandre Hopkins goes for a fifth and Jonathan Mingo goes for a fourth? Like is that just Jerry Jones being Jerry Jones? It's a Cowboys tax. Terrible, awful. DeAndre Hopkins to KC is the move of Deadline Day, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Really? Yeah. That was the big move. Because Lattimore is a big move. There was an elite wide receiver that dominated four years ago and another team goes out and gets that receiver. Greg Cody likes that move. You understand? He's dating back to Tony Martin. He loves that move. He loves that move. David Boston, Tony Martin, he's been doing this in this market for 30 years.
Starting point is 00:21:22 If you were good three and a half to four years ago at that position and you move teams, eight plus grade from Greg Cody. I wanna defend Greg Cody because DeAndre Hopkins, Mike and I showed you this was good last year. Those numbers surprised you last year. It did, it did. And he got targeted nine times. I'm using him like Rashid Rice.
Starting point is 00:21:39 It's on brand. And Greg may actually be right in this instance, but like I said, Tony Martin and David Bossen. Wait a minute, I, of course he's right. Nothing truer has ever been spoken on this show than what Mike Ryan just said. Greg Cody has saved in his computer, a computer that used to use couplers,
Starting point is 00:21:58 saved the column where he just leaves open the name of receiver who was good three and a half years ago, Dolphins, go get him. He's been writing that column in this market my entire life. Oh, excuse me for approving of the Tyree Kill trade. Excuse me. I think it's worked out pretty well. He's currently great. Right. I mean, they got him in his prime. Yeah. You don't need to apologize for this.
Starting point is 00:22:27 It's just... Well, that one you might. You like that. Look, I like two-way centers, third liners, and the NHL. We all have our preferences. Okay, but are we telling Greg that David Boston wasn't a big move? Like, that was a big thing at the time. I'm just saying that he always advocates, always advocates for the receiver who was
Starting point is 00:22:43 good three and a half years ago who was past his prime. Tony Martin is the greatest example. There is no greater example than Tony Martin will blow the lid off your defense with deep routes. He never ended up completing down here. No, that's not true. I have such a great memory in high school reading your Tony Martin columns. I'm like, we got to get this guy. Same thing with David Bossen. You were the voice of the fandom. Those are really popular moves.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Okay, I'm looking up Tony Martin here. What's your thoughts on Odell? Don't look up David Bossen because his numbers. I was going to bring that up. That's a perfect example of why you're wrong. They signed the ghost of Odell Beckham. He's done nothing. He, Odell Beckham's had an interesting career. The first three or four years of his career, he was instant Hall of Fame, all-time great. Since then, it's been a long, long, long time since OBJ has been any good. He could have been the the Super Bowl MVP, but he got hurt. I can't help that. No, I won't. He would have been the Super Bowl MVP He would have not gotten hurt David Boston had four catches for the Dolphins ten targets though and 80 yards with 20 yards a catch
Starting point is 00:23:50 I mean, that's great. It's just there's only four. I'm looking something up here Greg Greg Cody was skeptical about the Odell Beckham jr. Thank you acquisition I have the headline for your Odell book article. It says new dolphin. Odellell Beckham Jr. has the name and fame. Let's see if he still has the game. Yes, but you have to understand that the hole in your argument, guys, that's a number three receiver. That's not the argument Cody's been making since the beginning of the written word. He wanted David Boston as a number one. He wanted number ones. He wanted everyone else's number ones who are three years past their prime. Odell Beckham wasn't coming here as a number one,
Starting point is 00:24:29 so he'll write a column, a throwaway column on your number three receiver. But if there's a number one available, if Deandre Hopkins is available three years from now, Greg Cody will be advocating for him in a dolphin uniform. Yeah, because Deandre Hopkins with the Chiefs the other night, no impact whatsoever. Deandre Hopkins, why'd they get him?
Starting point is 00:24:49 He won the game for them. 1999, 1999, the Dolphins reacquired Tony Martin. What's he do the first year? 67 catches for 1,037 yards. Not bad for a guy who they didn't need. How many touchdowns? How many touchdowns? How many touchdowns? I don't know, five.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Five touchdowns. That's on the quarterback. That's a good season. That's a number one. Can't throw the ball to himself. Greg smoked our asses. Let's move on. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Smoked our asses. There's nothing else to talk about. But David Boston. He kicked our ass. I can't always be right. We have to accept the results and take it with grace. I'm a human being. I'm telling you, start with that NASCAR take.
Starting point is 00:25:30 He's on fire this week. Thank you. Frank Thomas. Amin's got that right. You're not worried about the distance between the cars because that's more Formula 1-y. What makes the soccer racing in the US is like the cars bunched up together. But this is going to be a pleasant change. Okay?
Starting point is 00:25:44 It's going to be a different kind of NASCAR. This is not gonna be a pleasant change. Okay? It's gonna be a different kind of NASCAR. This is not your father's NASCAR. This is the Championship 4. You put the final four on the track and anything goes. Can the guy in last place, two-thirds of a lap behind, make up ground? That's what you're watched for. Mm-hmm. Do they race all the laps or is it a shortened a shortened or is it longer? No all the laps. How about 400 laps? It's all the laps. Every lap. It's a lap race.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Lap it. Lap dogs following the cars running behind the cars. That would be cruel to a dog. That would be. Talk about the Iditarog. I don't think they'd catch up. It might slip on the angles. Imagine a greyhound on a racetrack trying to keep up with a NASCAR.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It might be fast enough to actually have the gravity work out for them. Now I want to see it. You name the one dog, I mean. Or it could be a Greyhound bus. The fifth vehicle on the track is a Greyhound bus. Any vehicle named after a dog. How are you going to get around it? It'd probably tip, right?
Starting point is 00:26:45 No. I don't know. On a turn, you don't think that a Greyhound would tip over? If it goes fast enough, it can... Really? It's a looped up bus. Billy, we sit everybody on the right side of the bus. Restricted place or no on the bus?
Starting point is 00:26:55 I don't know. That's a good question, Billy. All right. Very thoughtful. Take a sip. You've earned it. Frank Thomas? Yeah, first name, last name.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Big hair. I know what you were doing. Donovan Mitchell? Steve Martin also. Also. Steve Ann Martin. We missed that one all day as we kept saying it. We missed it. We missed it.
Starting point is 00:27:14 You guys are way too hard on me on Chris Wallace because he shortens his first name. Christopher, yeah. Christopher Wallace, it's fine. That's a biggie. Notorious B.I.C. Does Donovan Mitchell count? Because Mitchell's not really a first name Mitch
Starting point is 00:27:26 Mitch is but Mitchell there aren't a lot of Mitch's like it's the long version Mitch Trubisky is Mitchell is Mitchell. Yes. Yeah Jefferson Davis Given the state of the country we might as well Get those statues back up How many Davises do I know? Not first a, Davis Love. Davis Love is it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:47 The third. I mean, that's one. There's at least three. All it takes is one. There were three of them, he's the third. No, it's not one. We established yesterday that it's gotta be a common first name and a common last name.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I'm trying to find last name Steve's now. Are we just doing athletes now? Because before it was just other news anchors. If we're doing athletes, then the aforementioned Tony Martin. Paul George. Steve Martin doesn't work. No, I'm trying to make it work. I'm trying to extend it to Steven too,
Starting point is 00:28:11 but he's a PH Steven. There's not a lot of last name PH Steven. I'm still fighting for Philip Phillips. Chris Paul. Say, Mike, there aren't people with the last name Tony. Yes, there are. I know there's a soccer player. There was a boxer. Tony's a the last name Tony. Yes, there are. Yeah. I know there's a soccer player. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:25 There was a boxer. Tony's a popular last name, I guess. Not popular. It's with an E. Unpopular. I wanna get to the important story of the day here that I somehow managed to not get to yesterday. It was as part of the promotion
Starting point is 00:28:39 for the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. There had been a bathroom incident in the Cody household and the backstory I want is this. You brought Earlene, your wife, onto the podcast thinking what would happen. And give me the context I need to have for how shocked your father ended up being, Chris, by the fact that Earlene came on
Starting point is 00:29:02 and she revealed things to the audience that your father, I take it, was learning as she said it. And he was mortified to have discovered in public that his wife knows he's disgusting. Well, especially my parents have cleaning people come on Thursdays. So when my mom gets home on Thursdays, she's always just super excited to get home to a clean house.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And I want my dad to tell the story, but my dad did something in a bathroom and my mom got home later that day. And it went from her being happy to be in a clean house to complaining about her husband. But what was she brought on for? Give us the backstory on how it is that Erlene is summoned to be the arbiter on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Yeah, you can listen to all this on the podcast, obviously. I brought my wife on knowing that she would make a big deal out of this minor imperfection in my bathroom style, but hoping and believing that my son Christopher and Yeti, the other guy on the podcast, would defend me. I pictured them, you know, just overshadowing whatever she said by going, Mom, you're overreacting. It's ridiculous. Why are you making such a big deal out of it? Instead, everybody gangs up on Greg. All right, but give me the backstory. And yes, I mean, Greg, how many episodes of
Starting point is 00:30:17 The Greg Cody Show have occurred? Yeah. We're on number 244. Wow. All right, 244 episodes in. You think that he's gonna stick up for you? In this case, I thought he might. So you're bringing her on to discuss what? You're calling what a minor bathroom mishap?
Starting point is 00:30:34 All right, I sat down to go to the toilet. Okay. Number one or number two? Number two. Well, he sat down. It's true that I sometimes sit to pee. He said before he sits down at night. I mean, look, I can't believe I've opened up the wheelhouse to a mean. He flew in on a red light. Can't wait! We get to talk about shit! Hooray! Hooray!
Starting point is 00:30:54 You're asking him about a bathroom. It's a great day to be a mean. So I sit down. I get to ask follow-up questions. I do my business. There's a plop, okay? From the plop, up rises a couple of, you know, remnants. I like that. Thank you. Okay, the remnants remain. Okay, the remnants remain. So, Earlene uses the bathroom much later, hours later, the remnant has dried, and she's disgusted by it. If you saw a photo of what I'm talking about. Oh we have a photo. It's a couple of little dots.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Put it up guys. No no no no no no. It happens. It happens. Shit happens. Shit. No there it is. But no.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Look at them. There they are. The reason. If this was at the bottom of the bowl, I'm kind of with my dad on this, but dad, this is at the top rim of the bowl. People just listening, they're expecting shit, guys, they're at the top of the bowl.
Starting point is 00:31:56 This is gonna look so bad when it gets posted by an aggregate site. This is gonna look bad. Pro poop podcast. Take it off the screen. Yeah, take it off the screen. I stand by my poop. What are we doing taking photographs
Starting point is 00:32:08 and making this content? What are we doing? Everything is content. People have been saying around here that everything has gotten shitty and this is the lowest rung. I used to think that the lowest rung on the televised ladder was Flavor Flav's reality show
Starting point is 00:32:21 when a woman shit on the steps. It is no longer the lowest rung in the history of American television. We've arrived at it today. After that election, look at where we... Splash. Look at where we...
Starting point is 00:32:31 Yeah. You're joining the overreaction by making a big deal a mountain out of a molehill. It's not, it's disgusting, and you've gotta do better than that. And once there's a plop situation, you're responsible for all consequences after that. My wife leads a charm life
Starting point is 00:32:46 if the worst thing in her marriage is what was that's not the worst thing in her marriage it's just on a pile of other terrible things like that it's not the worst thing it's just there are thousands like that one right there's a happy postscript to the story old the crappy after this whole incident after this incident, the next time I was in my unnamed grocery store, what did I do? I bought a toilet brush, one of those luxury toilet brushes that comes encased in a plastic thing that opens and shuts. And when that happens in the future, because I'm a gentleman, and to keep my wife happy, I'm gonna do what I don't
Starting point is 00:33:26 wanna do, which is scrub the bowl. So, I live, I learn. Question from the gallery. Greg, are you saying that when the incident occurred, you didn't notice that there was a mess, and then was discovered later, or you noticed, and you said, I'm not cleaning that, because I don't do that.
Starting point is 00:33:42 That's a very good question, and thank you for it because it's worth discussing. I didn't notice it first because the splash went high. The splash was not on the lower bowl. The splash was in the upper deck. So I didn't notice it at first. She pointed it out to me. But when she pointed it out, my reaction was, you're upset about that?
Starting point is 00:34:07 If you didn't see it, maybe it wasn't yours. Well, I own it. Finders keepers, though. I don't think that's the right use of finders keepers. If I am to discuss what people are here today for because they want liberal tears, and in some ways I do weep for my country liberally. I do want to sort of talk a little bit about what many of you woke up to this morning
Starting point is 00:34:38 or went to bed with last night, where America has spoken, and America has spoken resoundingly that what they want representing our country in office is that, is everything that represents whether you want to say hate wins or whether you want to say the white man's got a dynasty and there was that one loss the Washington generals Barack Obama put on them one time, but they're the Harlem Globetrotters. They do not give up the power.
Starting point is 00:35:11 And it's a dynasty that will stay in power at least four more years because people have spoken and men have spoken. You will not take this power from us. We will overtake the woman's body and will be a threat to minorities and others. And one of the reasons that it's such a difficult day for me is because, and people like me who are losers today, is that if I view that as a threat, and then you view that as your preference, you become a threat. Like that's the America that I live in,
Starting point is 00:35:52 and I didn't think it was the America that I lived in. And it's naive, I can be shell shocked today and not surprised at all because we had eight years of warning that this was coming, that America would speak, I just didn't expect it to be this resounding. I was surprised that it was close at all, the way that I view something as a threat to freedom. It seems obvious to me that what America has decided today is it's okay with a king. It's okay with a religious king, no matter what he stuffs in the Bible as a disguise
Starting point is 00:36:26 that's criminal, immoral, that's near Jeffrey Epstein, that has credible accusations for 20-plus women, that is rapist-y and racist-y and just doesn't like others, that wins today. And I can't help but feel like I will keep fighting for these things, even if they lose and even if it becomes more threatening now in America than it was yesterday, that you are a voice for these things that is appalled by what it is that was just elected into office. When you say King, are you worried that he's going to extend term limits? Because if that's a case, you know what that opens a door for? The Washington generals.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I'm also just as concerned, if not more so, about JD Vance being able to pull all the levers once they get, and having 10 years in office, because this might not get to 80. I can't believe that the plan one of how do I stay out of jail, I have to try and topple over the way that democracy works. And I feel surrounded, not just in this America,
Starting point is 00:37:29 but particularly in this Florida and particularly in this Miami. Well, the Florida thing is particularly heartbreaking. I don't, maybe I'll live to regret these words, but worrying about JD Vance, I'm more worried about the person that's unpredictable, that is actively president, that is a lame duck, essentially. Now with a majority Senate, JD Vance, I mean, he's a politician.
Starting point is 00:37:51 He was on the ticket with the dude that he compared to and called Hitler. I'm just saying that he could go for 10 years because he could grab two years of this term and then just keep going. Like the thing that, that, I mean, Trump at 82 running for reelection when already what you got at the end here sounded between dementia and deranged. Like it felt like it was falling apart and that's what we're letting into office. Now it feels like we're going to have about four years of mental health skills deteriorating in office between the last two we've had and the next two we're about to have. In this state I I think in particular, because you saw states go to Trump but also
Starting point is 00:38:30 protect women's rights. We're one of those states that they didn't. I want to speak to people that have struggled with fertility in their lives. There are some married couples that have tried for years on end and are not exactly genetically compatible. And now with this six week rule, I don't know if that's enough time for some couples to know whether or not they're putting the mother in danger by carrying this pregnancy to term. This offers up a whole new slew of questions. It puts healthcare workers in a really difficult spot.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I don't think this state, with its kooky super majority rules, because we have a state that is going actively against the will of the people. Because 57%, which is a pretty good majority of folks, voted for this thing, and yet a woman's right is not protected because it didn't reach the 60% threshold
Starting point is 00:39:26 and DeSantis resorted to all sorts of tricks, censoring certain ads and news stations from covering this accurately and by putting all sorts of tax language in it. That was particularly dystopian. We elected a person that opened the door for this and proudly exclaimed that, but when pressed on what he actually voted for, try to sweep it under the rug because he knew it wasn't even popular within his own state. And despite that unpopularity, we still have something that more people in this state actually don't want.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And it's heartbreaking for those that are truly trying to bring a child into this world. You've left all this ambiguity, rules for interpretation, and it's really scary because six weeks, there are things that pop up after that, and heaven knows the ramifications of the decision this state made by not getting it to that 60% threshold. Apparently, though, the bodies of women weren't on the top priority of one vote
Starting point is 00:40:26 voters or one issue voters where you look at economy and deportation as being higher than that and so men stay in power and you will see the Dana Whites of the world and the Elon Musk's of the world continue to get rewarded for four years. I don't know if you've been listening to this show how it's going to be avoidable to get around the fear. The one positive you could say about today is that the thing that happened was about the only thing that could happen there that wouldn't lead to violence. Because there's not.
Starting point is 00:41:07 If it went the other way. I'm saying that this, like I was concerned about violence today, but this, like America's spoken. This is not unclear. Like this, it was not close. Like I was surprised that polling had it close because look at what a white man in a suit has to be as a personality to to be as a
Starting point is 00:41:31 Personality to be even to a black woman look at what has to be the disparity for them to be even I was surprised That that was even but it ain't even even like America spoken America Thinks and it's across the board. It's not just men. although they stay in power. It's across the, it's my people, it's Latinos. It's everybody saying, no, Trump, we want King Trump. Howdy folks, it's Mike. It's football season. It's November.
