The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral

Episode Date: February 20, 2025

Greg Cote kicks off this epic day in sports the only way possible: with the signing of our National Anthem. Spoiler alert: no booing here! Did he nail the anthem too hard though? Is it better when he screws it up like he botched his introduction at our live show a bunch of years back? We revisit that epic Greg Cote moment and he explains how a tray of doughnuts led to him messing it up. Also, Chris is putting his orange squeezing experiment to the test throughout the day, Greg Cote tells us some things his body can do that Ricky Williams' body can't do and we listen back to one of the great live reads of all time from the legend Joe Rose. How much is a live read going for these days? Plus, Greg Cote tells us whether or not we're allowed to broadcast from his funeral and we discuss why his funeral is going to be some kind of party.

Shadowin' it. Shadowin' it. Stugats, did you see what me and Cody were doing? Could you guys hear in the other room what me, Cody and Chris were trying to do in this room even though it's soundproof? Could you hear it? No, I couldn't really hear it to be honest. Did any of you see what me and Greg were practicing with Chris and how operatically I was trying

to sing? Like it's a side of me I don't think Chris Cody has ever seen, correct? Like in the history of, I've known you since you were a little boy. In the history of you and I knowing each other, have you ever seen me sing operatically? No, and when you did it, I wanted to immediately

switch you for my dad, because we have my dad about to do something here to start the show and you crushed it. But your dad has a great singing voice. You know, he coughs. Well, so here's the problem that we have. I don't have a lot of confidence in what's coming next. I'm worried about a lot of things about what's

going to happen next, OK? Because this is a matter of timing. And when we ask him to sing and hit comedic notes sometimes, he does what he did in New York, which is run out on stage when we're doing a live performance that we had rehearsed and run right past his lines and run right past his singing and his cue because he was just awash in applause and just lost track of where he was. He was just so happy to be entering a place and being cheered that he forgot what he was

there to do and ran right past the microphone. We are asking the singing sports writer who at this point we can all agree the voice shot likely to produce laughter and then coughing not what you want around the anthem. Two things not what you want around the anthem correct? We agree? Everyone would agree you don't. A shot voice and coughing. So Chris when when we were practicing this, I was saying he's gonna cough and he's like, I won't cough, and then he started coughing. I have no confidence in this.

I think he's gonna screw it up. I mean, he's always gonna win, so I think it's gonna be funny regardless, but him nailing this, I don't really see it. I am fascinated at the idea of Dan having a better voice. Is that what you're saying? Like, Dan has a good voice. I've never heard Dan sing.

Do you sing out loud? I wrote a musical. Yes, we did make a musical. It was an achievement, that thing. It made us all sound like we can sing. And we all forgot about it two years later, which is the craziest achievement. It is weird.

It's a weird reaction to the making of a musical. Mike hasn't forgotten it. No. The YouTube audience hears it every day during the breaks. That's right. It still lives, it lives a vibrant life, though not a Grammy winning one, to Mike's eternal failure. He wanted to win a Grammy for musicals.

I got something for Mike later, by the way. Why are you laughing at Mike for not winning a Grammy? It haunts him, I mean. It haunts him for sure, and that's the one thing he feels like he's missing in his life and he doesn't have it, it makes me laugh, but I also have something for Mike later. Don't forget that, okay?

He doesn't have the E or the OT either though, in the EGOT. You can't say it's the one thing you're missing if you don't have all four. Well no, but like one thing he's missing inside, right? It doesn't have to be an EGOT. He's just really wanted that G, but now he doesn't have that G.

Maybe he can get a T. Tony Award's coming later this year, by the way. Wow. Oh, right? Jessica, you sound delighted by that. I'm excited for the Tony Awards. I this year, by the way. Wow. Oh, wow. Jessica, you sounded delighted by that, didn't you? I'm excited for the Tony Awards. I win a Tony, who knows? Tony's, I mean.

Can you tell me, please, before we go to Greg Cody, what you have for Mike? Because the Shadow Show should be a place to release office gossip. It should be a place just amongst us when the other. Oh, that's mystery crate. That is mystery crate, yeah. You guys aren't listening.

No, I did, but I did listen. McDonald's episode? Just amongst us when the other I did listen McDonald's episode well, but flint is brother Lewis and Kristen are not exactly the company secrets. I was looking for well, you know Nobody's here. What do we do? We can only grab so many bodies, right? But I'm just got that we got to put the water got on chairs and have them talk. I'm just saying there I Mean then I Got something for Mike. Don't worry about it. He doesn't know you mean I do though Where are we Chris you just ran into the other room? I don't have confidence in this Chris because all we need him to do. It's a good joke He just has to nail the comedic timing of it

We've never had a meeting before where we're practicing with him. That makes me more nervous. The more we prepare, the more nervous I get. Let's hit the show open and see if he nails it. Alright, let's see what we've got. Nervous. By the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail, That Conor McDavid still overrated, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, the kachaks gallantly scoring, And the rocket's red glare, the pucks bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our power play was still there. Ball say does that star spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and Conor Hellibag's next great save.

Yeah! He did it! Next great save. Yeah. He did it. Look at that. Doesn't have much breath yet, but he's did it. How dare we underestimate the great and historic singing sports writer, the one and only Greg Cody, who brought song to the radio as a journalist.

It has not been done before or since by anybody. It was exclusively his lane. These are the last embers of his career we toy with. A mighty career it has been. It was almost too clean. I mean, I prefer when he screws it up. I was shocked. Way too competent.

Roy, do you have the sound of Greg Cody coming out at Gramercy? Our first live performance, probably our best live performance, I think. I'm not sure. This was the one where Greg Cody runs out on stage to start our performance to welcome New York to salute New York and Greg Cody just ran right you didn't run right past the

microphone but you found yourself in a position where you were entirely self-involved let's play that sound it is b-. There he is going to the mic. Okay, don't want you doing play-by-play. Oh, I do. I got no choice because there's no video. No, that's okay. I thought that you had the audio prepared. That's fine. We'll find the audio later. Greg, welcome. Thank you. Turn his microphone on. All right, Roy. Not a great start. He's got a lot of things going on there, Dan. Yeah. I love it when there's a mistake

that is my fault thank you rory how did you feel was there too much pressure on all of that because you nailed it i thought i thought you did very well but i'm also guilty of perpetually uh... underestimating you know i a and your son okay that's fine where you know i live with that i'm a cody uh... my dad was always underestimated. But I nailed it because I had practiced. You know, I'm a performer, I mean.

You went rogue with the lyrics. The plan was just kind of to sing it. But yeah, you did it. Had to throw in the overrated thing in there. You had to work that in. You know, it's a- I got faked. I thought you were gonna sing, oh Canada.

That was the bit, yes. Thank you. That was a great bit. That was the joke. Holy fake thing. Yeah, that was the joke, yes, thank you. That was a great bit. That was the joke. Holy fake thing, yeah. That was the joke. Oh can you see See, look at that's what he was practicing. You can tell he's been practicing. He's on it today.

He's got a choice now. Nailed it both times. My pitch was too high. Right, a little pitchy. If you had to do it over, you wanna give it a couple of more cracks? You wanna, how could you have done it better, do you think, if you got a couple of cracks?

I wouldn't have gone as high coming out of, oh, can't. An octave lower maybe would have helped. Yeah, an octave lower, exactly what I'm talking about. Take two, or what do you think? Yeah, Tony should be a producer. That's exactly the advice I needed. Do you want to try it again? Not really.

Okay. I mean, I will, on demand, but... No, but you're good. Well, see if right now you can go and get the joke by summoning with great enthusiasm. You mean right here? Yeah, ad you need to stand up for anything because i was practicing with you we were talking about four and taking the credit now practicing with me here

who okay coaching a u a this guy he inspired my performance i'm not sure news and that's a i i i'm simply saying that i was here practicing with you that's not something we do very often right and i was also like going down to the ground to sort of explain to you that this has to be like uh... like a throwing your barrel chest in the old canada you gotta get

old care like you gotta go you gotta go and and and get it you gotta go down and get it i don't like to like a squat by and as a your train singer i've had all kind of experience singing, so I certainly appreciate that advice. You're the legendary singing sports writer, but I wanted you to get more emotion in the feeling of Canada. Look, you were scared, I understand, it's a lot of pressure to sing a song, but this is a big game tonight, and we wanted to meet the moment of patriotism, enthusiasm fighting fifty first state everything is falling apart all around us and in the middle of it we're gonna boo your anthem and which anthem is it gonna be and are you with america against america right now

they act in hockey who you with who you with are you with canada are you with america because we got a big one tonight it's been a while since an exhibition game matters so much that were're waving the flag around and starting with that instead of what the hell are we doing with Messi playing in negative seven degree weather?

Like, what are we doing to Messi? What are we doing to the end of his career? Putting him in Kansas city, running around in negative seven degree weather to play soccer at the beginning of the MLS. A big goal. He gutted that one out there and he did it in a cold. What are we doing?

He nailed it. What are we doing? Don't make that man do that. That's stupid. All of it. Respect his career please. He doesn't have to play in that one. The rest of you play in negative seven degrees. He'll sit that one out. Load management. They would have lost. Load management is his first game of the year. Don't do that to the man. He's holding up all of your companies, your league sponsorships, your stadium deals.

They're all on his back. He doesn't have to play. I've got a contract clause with all of my partners. I don't play in negative seven. He defeated the weather. He put a screaming snake inside that left post. What a gorgeous goal. Keeper should have stopped it the reason

he didn't is that they're so worried about him curling one into the upper corner that the goalkeepers are beaten when he swings back his leg who would have thought that Messi would have won a game in Kansas City in negative degree weather right fortuitous can a goal be gorgeous and it should have been stopped yes yeah how can that was both how can both those goal be gorgeous and it should have been stopped? Yes. Yeah. How can both those things be possible? Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Can a goal both be gorgeous and should have been stopped?

Because I'm going to say all of that, you can say it's curling and everything. Negative 7 degrees. No one wants to be out there. No one wants to be doing that. Please make it end. I don't care that much about winning at games that I want to be playing out here You would agree that's the most impressed you've been with messy since he's gotten here, right?

I would not say that what I would say that he needs to not be playing in that game Just because you could see his breath. Why is that so impressive cold weather on the road big goal? You have to defend the entire net when you're playing against messy Greg is right Yeah, because you have no idea where he's gonna put the ball I mean you just don't if you're gonna take the tournament seriously the conquer calf champions cup Then you have to have messy play in your first important game of 2025 Yeah, of course he was gonna play and then he proved that he's better than the weather messy Opponents are petrified of him him I have seen opponents get his autograph

before the game started that's how lord over everyone he does crazy Greg code you may have noticed this is some of the things that you notice in your loved ones when you've been with them a long time when we start out aggressively by summoning the singing sports writer he he comes in here super elevated. Like he is through the roof on smelling his own fumes. Like yes, yes, I love to sing. I love to, we just, what you just saw, not unlike sort of a Johnny Cash like character,

you saw the egg and the rust break from around the lead singer for Hee Haw 3. The lead singer for Hee haw three lead singer for he haw three has not been allowed to perform he's been shackled since Las Vegas and and he just had a coming out party and now he's just revved up so let's the last time he was this revved up I want to just set this up correctly okay we sold tickets to a theater we're gonna do something and we don't know exactly what we're gonna do and we rehearsed it a couple times and we got the beginning down and the rest of it we don't know longest rehearsal we're going to do something and we don't know exactly what we're going to do and we rehearsed it a couple times and we got the beginning down and the

rest of it we don't know longest rehearsal I'm not going to do this and nobody didn't come and yeah and Greg I heard it was long though and Greg practiced and and this is what happened he's supposed to come out he's just supposed to greet New York with song easy winner right off the top and he just runs on stage here hears the applause and gets lost in the smell of his own farts. Greg Cody! Easy song to nail.

I've said it a thousand times. Yeah. I've said it a thousand times. Woo! Yeah. Woo! I just forgot that he had to sing. Wow. The crowd is freaking. Wow!

I'm just so happy to be in front of people. The crowd's starting to get some. I just totally forgot. You can hear, it's New York, New York. It's the easiest thing. We all know when to start singing. The crowd started singing. Yes, waiting for a song.

Wow. Play that for me again, just so that I can sink deeply into. Please don't. Where it is that I just want you, it's Greg staring at the crowd, at the applause, and just forgetting that song was even in the background because this beautiful music was so much

better the applause was better music than whatever he was going to do Greg. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. And had to do the whole thing wow right on his cue wow Dan takes all the credit when you nail it, but then when you screw it up none of the blame. Thank you. Thank you

That's exactly right. You gave me no prep Whatsoever we rehearsed it for seven hours in my fit in fairness to me Yeah, I did not take rehearsals as seriously as I should Light same here well no not no, not Miller Lite. If I remember correctly, there were like big giant boxes of donuts off to the side. So I was like- Distraction. Yeah, I was like sugar rushing. Right.

You know. You want me to focus on the task at hand. Don't bring donuts. Right. Plus, there was no, what do you call the teleprompter? I don't recall there being a teleprompter. Right. It's a song!

You're the singing, you're the legendary singing sports writer. Yeah, well I missed my cue. The audience threw me off as well. The audience distracted me. Yeah, we know. By singing before I began singing. Greg has the opposite of a writer.

No. You can't let any donuts near him, no people watching him. Like certain things are just gonna distract him. You gotta get them away from Greg when he's going on stage. Yeah, keep those donuts away from me. Greg, I love you. They sang when they were supposed to start singing.

That's correct. When you were supposed to start singing. Yeah, but there was no director. A director in the wings over the way. All right, it was our fault. A director should have gone like this. Okay, we were doing that. And you were going, wow.

["The New York Times"] Chris Cody, where did we land? Let's find out what Jessica and Tony think of how much juice Chris Cody is going to actually be able to get out of those oranges when he says that you can't get that much juice out of oranges. And Billy says it'll take eight of those to make a glass. And he's alleging that he can make three glasses of orange juice with that number of oranges. Three glasses? No. When I bake and I need orange juice, like freshly squeezed orange juice, usually as a rule of thumb,

one orange is around a half cup or so. So if he has three oranges, that's like a decent amount of juice. It depends how big the glass is though. If it's a little juice glass, that's one thing, but he's got a big water glass over there. I think the issue too is when you go to Cuban bakeries, Dan, they have the machine that slices them, that puts the thing in and it's like, the issue is- It gets every last drop out of it.

Yes, because it has like almost like a bullet inside where like revs it. I love those things. Those things are amazing. Like I can just sit there while I'm ordering cafecito or whatever, just watch him cut it and do, revs it, gets all those things are amazing. Like I can just sit there while I'm ordering cafecito, whatever, just watch him cut it and do. I don't think Chris has the power in his hands

or in the knife that he has. But this is why we brought it up because yesterday he was squeezing his man chest together. He was squeezing, he was doing a lot of exercises. I was just like, I can do this. I did this move of like. Am I allowed to give him a pro tip? Can I give him a pro tip?

Of course. You gotta, before you cut into it and start squeezing, you gotta really massage those oranges. He's right. You gotta knead them, roll them back and forth, knead them, massage them. Or put them in microwave. You can like blast them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Apparently if you warm them up in the microwave, like a lime or something, it helps the juices release. I've heard that, I've never tried it though. Does it really work? I don't know, I've never tried it either. Is that cheating though? I mean. Why don't you sit on it?

That's a great idea. Sit on it. Warm it up with your buns. When are you doing this, are you doing it now? Yeah, I can start now, we'll see how we do here. That's messy, it's gonna leave a lot of stickiness, that seems like an unpleasant place to do it. You need a way bigger

Container to get the juice in because that little cup is not gonna work. No, no, that's not gonna work, buddy Billy is not gonna find any of this pleasant to have actually do it do it in his workspace Yeah, this isn't gonna go well. Well, Billy sabotaged me the other day. So why don't we sabotage him back? We put a little sticky all the sudden he goes to sit there tomorrow Remember when the mic fell that's weak. Yeah, I want to grab the mic and it exploded in my head Classic Billy Can you tell us Chris when you're gonna start please? I am waiting on a bigger bowl By based off Tony's recommendation, and I will get going very shortly Dan. I'm excited

I'm gonna do this. I'm on the oranges to start. No paper towels. I've been rubbing these down like baseballs for like a half hour So we're gonna go. You've been juggling them right? Rubbing it doesn't help. I didn't need it. I didn't honestly plan on Doing the juice today. I'm just back row Chris again, so I thought I'd juggle a little bit Well, but now it seems like you're. Once you go down the path of microwaves and kneading and rolling around oranges, and Jessica, you wanna go out in the street and see if you can throw one of those 100 yards?

I don't know if I can throw one of these 100 yards. These are big oranges. Huge oranges. Remember when I brought Sumo Citrus? Have you ever had one of those? Can you have oranges, Dan? No, we cannot. Why not?

What's in oranges that you can't have? I was gonna tell you. Vitamin C. I thought we were gonna bond over sumo citrus, but nevermind, it's fine. Me and Tony, we'll just bond over a vector. My wife loves those oranges and says they're the best oranges

that there have ever been. These giant oranges. They're the best oranges. They're only in season this time of year in the winter. You could just rip the top off. You could just rip it off and then they peel really easily and they have no seeds delicious I would say that once upon a time I don't know if this is still so but Florida was famous for being able to produce those kinds of oranges just oranges like that I think this is a sad day we're not anymore I don't know if people still

associate Florida with oranges. Yeah, they do, yeah. Number two, orange producing state after Kelly. At LeBotard Show, do people still associate Florida with oranges, yes or no? It's not a license plate. It's not a license plate, exactly right. Unless you have one of the cool fish license plates.

Oh yeah, don't tread on me license plates or something. Dan, seriously, you can't eat citrus, what can you eat? Well, you guys were making fun of me about this last week. So let's talk about it because a lot of people think that I was lying about this. So let me explain something to you. I have seen some athletes do some of this. Like, once upon a time there was a nutritionist, I don't know if she's still doing it, Sari Melman. And the way that she would do athlete diets is they would test a variety of foods to see what their blood

allergies mixed with indian and so you'd have for professional football players like eating for a day nothing but garbanzo beans to test garbanzo beans and then they get on a scale if you lose weight or gain weight you can tell whether your body is agreeable with these things like what clarity so yeah so i just did a bunch of bunch of blood allergy testing you guys didn't believe me either when i said i don't fart around my wife unless i've eaten the wrong ingredients my body will simply tell me what it'll just reject it and then i'll start farting

because i'm allergic to a thousand different things that i can have everything from paprika to garlic that that so i have to be careful with what the ingredients are and i'm testing things like salt every day and you just, that's what you have that day in order to test whether or not you can have salt. But if you have it, you'll fart? If I haven't and it doesn't fit with my body, yes, whether it's broccoli or kale.

There have been some bad days for your wife, huh? Yes, yes, agreed. I have learned recently that I'm a sleep farter. I didn't know that because I'm a sleep farter So you are literally unable to season your food? Well, no, I can do it with the things that agree with me It can't be paprika and garlic, but it can be an assortment of other things whether it's ginger or turmeric. Yes, so Now I borge it to death with all of these details nothing less interesting than someone's diet

But I'm not lying to you about the fact that every greedy you guys were having with those chefs or something that i cannot have and you're doing something maddening when you're eating it in front of me and only describing that that the only thing i can have was mango and every ingredient you guys gave when those uh... those people were here and going protein mango publishing pride of a Lion. Wow. Prominently displayed at Books and Books in Coconut Grove, by the way. Nice, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, McGill, by the way, called me the other day with great news. McGill has

been enlisted by Mango, by Books and Books, and their wonderful owner mitch caplin he mitch caplin bought thousands of pride of a lion books in order to give them away for free when ron mcgill makes tours of schools and and other uh... other events and so that's that's a big deal when you mentioned garbanzo beans did you run out of thought there you just wanted to do the promotion you are wanted to throw it in there? It was a nice thing.

It was a nice thing. But you didn't have a segue of thought? Free books for schools. You weren't thinking about the audience or content creation there at all. You were simply thinking about how to promote this thing that you wanted to talk about and then didn't have something else that you wanted to talk about. You nailed it. You nailed it.

You read it correctly. Unabashedly. What about segues? Wasn't trying to hide it. I mean Well, he was trying to hide at the point when you try to fill time That's what no You know up mangoes not me yeah Sure fall out you brought up mango publishing cuz the only joke you have now because your cornheiser somebody says a word you associated to another word and it's

Tourette's of not funny i know you use the word maddening earlier and i couldn't sneak in john maddening right really killed me but you snuck in line all messy you lay on the sea i said that but i do want to mention real quickly because this is the truth you mentioned garbanzo beans ricky williams when he played for the dolphins i remember going into the locker room once after a practice, and he is an evangelist for garbanzo beans. He went through a phase where that was about all he ate, and he had like a jar of them. There were several athletes doing this particular diet that I did not understand how they were fueling themselves on these ridiculous things, but it's because they were trying to eat in accordance with their blood type.

And- Weird. Okay. Yeah, weird. Ricky's body though, did things yours couldn't. All right, mine does things he can't. Yep. Like what?

Go ahead, let's hear about it. Let's go ahead, let's hear about it. Processed garbanzo beans for one. One of the few beans I hate, by the way, garbanzo beans. They're mealy. What? Oh, I love them, Greg. I hate the texture.

Do you like hummus? Yeah, no I don't. Oh, can't stand it. I do not, no. But hummus isn't as good without garlic, unfortunately. At Levitard Show, can you put it on the poll, please, garbanzo beans, do you like them or do you not like them? They're great.

What's wrong with garbanzo beans? I can only have like a them they're great but what really long with garbanzo bees i don't have like a couple of kinds of beans pinto beans and kidney beans off-putting texture is it yeah does put on the poll as well at lebatard showed does the god garbanzo bean have an off-putting texture and what are the other foods here that you're willing to uh... you know downgrade in classification because the texture is a bother because

that's part of taste and eating. Jessica is just mouthing back there, I love everything, I'll eat anything, I don't care what the texture is, just give me taste. I really just, I won't say no. So nothing, you will find no texture off. Put it in a funnel and I'll just devour it, don't care. Lehman actually went to the Keys this weekend.

Dude, I saw the reel. He caught two blackfin tunas and five snappers. I don't care. Lehman actually went to the Keys this weekend. Dude, I saw the reel. He caught two laughing tunas and five snappers. We've been eating fish all week. He made tuna tataki the other night. It was delicious, fresh fish. Oh, I'm such a lucky lady. But yeah, basically, I'll go to the store, get whatever,

whip something up, doesn't even tell me what it is. And I like all of it. I eat all of it. I'm very, very lucky in that sense. Wow. I still wanna know what my dad's body can do that Ricky's can't. Yep, name one.

Survive on one glass of water a week? I can't, you know, I'm not gonna take a quiz. I mean, I can come up with a top five list. All right, well wait for it. That would be the definition of taking a quiz though. Like, well wait for it. That's fine. Let's Let's do that. You're giving us your top five. We'll do this. Shall we? I mean eventually we will start from the from the bottom. I'll give you some time as filler

you may have heard because I Don't know if Florida's fresh fish is better than other parts of middle America where you might not be able to get the freshness of fish that you get here off of our coast because it has to be shipped in or whatever, but Jessica's mouth watered thinking about a Key West caught fresh fish and it made me think of Joe Rose. That's good. Big juicy cheeseburgers, a Philly chicken. That's good.

Onions. Mushrooms. It's good. Excuse me, can I have a side order of... Can I get some blue cheese with it? I like to dip my thick. It's in that blue cheese they have there hey oh you want some pasta and seafood dishes with fresh fish the water you can hear it on fresh fish in his mouth so good it's the fresh fish

yeah yeah there is nothing like a thick all right that Ah the big dog Dan needs some more in his life. I think he's more Put it on the pole, please at Levittard showed does Dan need more But you hear you what you hear, okay, Joe Rose, bit of a Neanderthal, what? Whoa, that's a mean thing to say. You're talking about the greatest live leader of all time. He would acknowledge it. I mean, we all have a little bit of Neanderthal in us, I think, technically.

And he's still getting it done. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Maybe he'd disagree with this, I don't think that he would. He would. The most primal, the most primal of creatures, if presented with something delicious when they're hungry, their mouth will water. Like whatever that creature is,

whether it's a Joe Rose Big Dog or Jessica, who doesn't care about the texture of things, if something delicious is posed to you and you're hungry It will be a mouthwatering situation caveman or not But cavemen are going to be particularly primal here when he's just talking about all of these foods It's making him hungry and by the time fresh fish gets to his lips his mouth is filled with water I his mouth is filled with water. I mean, sprinkle on the fact that he's getting $50 per read. I mean, that'll make anybody's mouth water.

That'll get you there. I mean. Is it still $50? It's gotta be more than that by now, doesn't it? Is it still? I think it's going the other way, Dan. You do? I don't actually know.

I don't know. What do you imagine right now in radio a live read goes for? What do you imagine somebody in AM radio today doing a live read? I'd like to know, what do you imagine each live read is being paid? It's gotta be more than $50, doesn't it? I mean, the standard was $25.

I gave Joe Rose $ you know we had me like he thought that was twenty years ago i know so i'm thinking radio is dying a slow death and it's going the other way on jorah i think at this point so the uh... i think at this point the host is paying the advertiser in order to do that and you guys calls as low and ask him somebody somebody get me modern uh... radio fees uh... yes i'm on it you guys make fun of a dying medium but it still represents about seventy five percent of how people consume audio of all podcasts are the new thing right now intimacy

uh... there's still a lot of value in having value on radio and i think you're vastly underestimating what those things pay, even if it's a dying medium, which it is. So you think Lenny, Chippy, all the guys that air around the clock, they're paying him $100 per read? Is that what you're saying? I don't know.

You might be right. I'm not saying. It seems that inflation's prices, that $50 a read 20 years ago is probably not what it is today, but I don't know. I've never made any money from the reads. This is your department.

But inflation's going up, but wages are not.. I've never made any money from the Reeds. This is your department. But inflation's going up, but wages are not. So inflation's actually going the other way. It's costing employees. That is correct. And so I actually don't know. I don't know enough about the radio business. I don't, I was talking about some of this with somebody just this morning, just because we were talking about Saturday Night Live and how disrespectful I find it and you're allowed to find funny or not funny whatever obviously you find funny or not funny but just the the marvel today of being able to celebrate

50 years on television and have it be respected universally is not something the Internet's gonna give you because we're in cruel instant satisfaction satisfaction times and the expectation of funny is a burden. So their brand has been funny for 50 years, but I'm marveling as well in a podcast business that sucks that this thing we have has lasted 20 years and has evolved into the new media intimacy somehow without dying because the podcast connection is the stickiest of all of the connections. And radio used to be that. Like that's, I grow up appreciating the intimacy

with just great gratitude of the idea of people welcoming you into their cars, with their kids in the back, so that now we're meeting 30 year olds who were handed down the show from their parents and they're still young people. And they remember, dad remembers the singing sports writer back when he was starring at ESPN radio.

The old legend, the old mule, Greg Cody, reinventing song on AM radio. And eventually five songs in, just making every song row, row, row your boat. Yes, I love it. Yeah. Wow. I could do a row, row, row, row. Do it into the mic.

Why are you sitting back? Because he's just, no, Tone. Reclining over here. Christ, man. Tone, it's the self- I would be in a recliner right now if they had one for me. Tone, let me explain to you what just happened there,

lest you be a bit of a novice around Abuelo. He was so delighted we were just talking about him that he just leaned into it and forgets that he's doing the show. His narcissism is a monument to behold. It'll always sneak up on me and it's always funny. He forgets he's doing the show and he's just like, you're talking about me and it's the best thing. It's the greatest of the things.

Well, it is. Quit perpetuating that I'm a narcissist. My dad got recognized last night at bowling, and he was bragging to me. He's like, that guy recognized me for writing, not for this podcasting thing you guys do. First of all, you asked me. I didn't, I wasn't bragging about it.

But that is, I cannot tell you what a rarity that is. It happened to me once when we were at the Final Four a few years ago, where when somebody comes up to me and recognizes me and the first thing they start talking about is my columns in the Herald, right? It's like flabbergasting. Yes. It's like I've won the lottery of course, you know, because it does happen occasionally but No, but Greg wants to be remembered for his writing not for what it is he does here correct i mean of course i want to be i want to be remembered for a combo of everything for for having had the versatility to basically segue into a whole different career in a way that the segue not everyone has

we're talking about you again and well you know it's what better subject greg my grandma started out watching the show on YouTube, and she told me that she's really unhappy with the way Dan treats you. She called you the old man. And that she doesn't understand why you put up with him. He's been getting that for many years, right?

Yes, I have. And he's a staunch and loyal friend. And everybody knows that by now. That's what I told my grandma. He's a staunch and loyal friend. And everybody knows that by now. That's what I told my grandma. He's a staunch and loyal friend. No, I actually was like, I don't know either, Grandma. It's crazy, right? Well, what is the explanation?

Since we're celebrating Greg Cody, lean back in your chair and just do this as maximum relaxed as you like. You can lean back. Just pull the mic. Let's talk about you. Let's talk about your career as the singing sports writer. Just lean into it

please tell us about what this lovely ride has been you outlasted jimmy buffett you were hoping your last song here would be him singing it to you here that you would then die on air and jimmy buffett sang you a song about your career and did you do the part you that's right he's he's gone now and you are still here so i don't know how we're going to do it do you give us permission to broadcast live from your funeral? The Greg Cody Show has already signed a contract for that. I'm sorry.

You can get the after party, but the funeral itself is gonna be in my podcast. We could do pregame? I mean... I can't prevent it. Let's do it on a Monday so that you can get all the clicks. A federal holiday where we don't have a so that you can get all the clicks a federal holiday where we don't have a show So I can get all the clicks. Yeah, I'm gonna send save the date

Notices for my funeral as soon as I decide the endgame I was talking in Canada with Mike about how my dad's funeral is gonna be the most inside jokes of any funeral ever Like Brad's and that kind of things like nobody knows what that means ever like Brad's and that kind of things like nobody knows what that means that's why that's what I mean like there's gonna be so many random references that people are gonna be so confused somebody's gonna be eulogizing and I'm gonna shout from the back row ahhh swipe it's gonna be some party I want somebody at my funeral and I volunteer Michael to do this because he does a great the your youngest son my youngest son are those who don't listen to the great kody show featuring great kody and aren't itself

involved as our host who thinks you all know what his youngest son's name it well michael is a regular uh... semi regular on the great and never been on here or mentioned either right well i mentioned them whenever i can read but i want michael uh... apropos of nothing at my funeral to all of a sudden say storm NFL So inside that Explain that our police that is Karen the bowling lady. She announces that bowling She'll just go storm NFL

I'm in the middle of my bowling a 300 game. I'm in the middle of my bowling a 300 game I'm in the middle of my backswing and here's our men at foul it's like why would disconcerting why would he do that at your funeral because it's fun it's funny but you won't be able to hear it standing there like what I'll be laughing in my coffin right he kidding me be coughing in my coffin. Are you kidding me? Coughing in your coffin. Exactly. After he's dead. I'll be knocking trying to get out. Are you kidding me?

That'd be a bad way to go. Tony, you just saw, like, whatever it is, okay, that life will become for young people with abuelos, Greg Cote just sinking into just chatting with his son about wait to see what michael does it might you know and then starts laughing at the telling of the job that only chris gets yeah i think that's for the surprise he's no longer doing

stuff for the audience like when you go to his self-involvement there's nothing else there it's just him looking at his stuff gazing fascinated at like I He is so pleased right now Adam gaze great coach underrated. Yeah, I think properly He just liked his Adam Gase joke so much that it didn't matter what his analysis was after that because he knows he's not a great coach.

His introductory press conference with the Jets, though, was epic. The eyes. Yeah, it was. It was the worst, though. That's what made it so wonderful. It's memorable. That's going to be on his epitaph.

Duvall. Oh, yeah, that's such right. That's a little spooky. They always are. Sirian is too. Every Duvall I've heard is spooky. None of them, it's not creepy, it's spooky. It's also creepy, but it's spooky.

It's haunting. The Jags are run by a ghost. Somebody who is, his introductory press conference was somebody who I now associate with an element of haunting Pasty white too. He's like a it's like a ghoul of some haunting white. Yeah Jacksonville fans need to get a new bit Okay, I want to speak directly to Jacksonville sports fans good.
