You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. We up in here today. What up? I see you, Roy. I see you, Ju-ju. I mean, that's the most said in the history of the show. I feel like we said the record. You're right.

You're right. You're affirmative action is in place. It might be down in the Supreme Court. It is up in the shipping container and in Dan's seat. Look at us. Huh? What? What did you say?

What? I mean, this is not for us, man. My first, my first decree on February in August is we gotta get these lights fixed. Why, why, I don't look right on the cameras. I mean, y'all got these things lit for white folk. Can you see me over here? Can you see me?

Me and Roy just out here looking like smiles. I need to get ready. Are you saying I look good? I mean, you look like you. Okay. Yeah. You look like they lit the room for you. Right.

And Dan and my good friend, Gregory Cody. Hello everybody. What's happening? I saw you setting up all your ads. You got so many ads over here. Yeah. The Greg Cody show with Greg Cody, not featuring Greg Cody.

That's true. And then you got, what's this? Alc! Yeah, that's, that's, that's Yeah, that's, this is original Libo art before he was Libo. Way, way, way back in the day, he did this little drawing for some bumper stickers we made. And so it's a collector's item.

None of it's on camera. The lower third is blocking. That's okay. Everything that you have. So like, if you look at the screen, it's definitely not even. It's in my heart. Yeah, that's all that matters.

Okay. Well, you printed it out to keep it in your heart or? I did. Okay. Yeah. Which shirt in the rotation is this? I know you only have like six shirts. Right.

Six or eight. So is this at the top of the rotation? This is like early in the week or this is late in the week. We're in kind of trouble. The lead off hitter. This is a shirt my wife will literally will not allow me to wear it. I cannot go to dinner with her in this shirt.

She absolutely hates it. I love her. And so I literally only occasionally wear it when I'm not a reporter. Well for the listening audience it's plaid, right? It's a plaid shirt with like metal buttons. Right, I think it's got a sort of a Western. Yeah, it does, yes.

It does have a Western vibe. Your cowboy. And in case you guys wanted to know, he's two buttons down, giving you some chest, a little sexy. Oh, no. Two buttons down. Greg, how often will you attempt,

if you're going after dinner to try to wear that shirt, just because you know it pushes your wife off? Oh, I have done that, and she can't not comment on it. Like, literally, she won't let me wear it out. She's like, could you change that shirt please? She just up a horse. I have a question for you guys,

particularly with the dads, because we're talking about fashion. How often do you guys like update your wardrobe or change it because like my daughter's starting a new school and I've already had like three events and like I've gone through like my three outfits that I would wear to these events. So I'm like, I think I need to go through the closet

and get rid of some of these clothes and I need like new like dad clothes that I can wear to like these dad events. I feel like you're asking us but the flyest person in the organization is sitting right behind you. So I mean thanks Dominique. Thank you brother. I really appreciate that. I mean hey man look we gonna talk after that.

I'm gonna get you right. I got you right brother. I appreciate you. I'll you help over the years. You, I mean, people don't see outside of camera's brother, Billy, he doesn't talk me off the ledge, like 100 times brother. I appreciate you so much. And his daughter was born on my birthday. We are birthday twins, so bridegatges, free of charge.

So I need some help as well, Juju. I've been wanting to new shirt in three years. So I think at least for me what happened is, and this is probably true of everybody, you like become a little bit more like your spouse or your partner in the more time you spend with them. So for much of my life, I didn't care much about how I dress. I was like, all right, well,

I'm gonna be good at football. That is gonna make everything else around me work out. You know what? I don't like what you're wearing, Dominique. Yeah I'm gonna be good at football. That is gonna make everything else around me work out. You know what? I don't like what you're wearing, Dominique. Yeah, but I'm good at football. Hey, can you run with me, though? We good. Hey, this paper, I said 20 pages, it's only 15.

Y'all trying to win on Saturday and not, what were we talking about here? So, but my wife on the other hand is very fashionable. And so I don't know, it's like, when she buys new things for herself, sometimes she throw me some scraps, and I throw out the old scraps and I look good. But I haven't gotten into that yet.

Like I am not falling into that place. I guess the reason why I bring up the spouses, the reason why I care is because she cares. And she cares so that I care. If your spouse is fine with your wardrobe as it is, then who you dressing up for? Well, because I don't, at this point, now I'm thinking like, I don't want to embarrass my child.

Which I know at some point will be the goal. Like I need to embarrass my child, like to keep her like, no it is. Like at some point it's like, no eventually all you'll have left is embarrassing. Yeah, that's the only sense of control I have. It's like, if not gonna listen to me, well then I'm gonna go dress like a clown

to your school's thing and then it's like, okay, okay, okay, I'll listen. And then I'll go dress right, you know what I mean? I like that in a world where we can, when no one is allowed to hit their children anymore, you find another way to abuse your child by showing up. And that's cool. Emotionally, like I'm gonna dress literally like a clown and sit down at your recital as if,

that's what I'm supposed to wear. I can't tell you how many like now targeted ads I'm getting for like chino pants and joggers just because like that's what I'm looking but also like I'm a thrifty dude. I like to find things on sale, right? But sometimes you get what you pay for. You know what I mean?

So then I see like a price like, oh these like pants are $25. They're normally like a hundred. This is a great deal, but also like maybe there's a reason they're not selling another $25. So then I'm thinking, do I just go and start buying like one of each of these sale items and then decide I like these? Let me do it.

Because this is something that my wife doesn't, I don't know if you guys are like this and explain this to me. Because I can't get in on this. Just ordering a bunch of things, then trying it on and sending it back. It's like, I don't like that game of like trying it on and sending it. It's just so much effort. I don't want to do that. That's definitely a generational thing. I'm not with that. If I bought it online, it's mine. If it don't fit, then it's going to stay in my closet and I'm really? You'll figure something out. I'm not packing it back up. I'm not taking

it to the store. If I ordered it, it belongs to me. Yeah, but you can return it for something that fits. I'm not saying it's smart. We all do lots of dumb things. One of the dumb things that I do is when I order something, I'm committed. I'm a man of commitment, right Jeremy? It's not only being a man of commitment on what you order, but for me, I just know in advance. If I order something online, there's just no way I'm going to return it. So I'm trying to be as discerning as possible with all the things that I'm doing. on what you order, but for me, I just know in advance. If I order something online, there's just no way

I'm gonna return it. So I'm trying to be as discerning as possible with online shopping, but I'll also go out of my way to go shopping in person, knowing that if I don't like what I buy, I'm gonna have to drive 20 minutes to go return it, and yet for whatever reason in my head, that math makes more sense. This is you guys just being lazy.

That's all I got. Like, listen, Amazon doesn't make it terribly easy to stuff. whatever reason in my head, that math makes more sense. This is you guys just being lazy. That's all, yeah. Listen, Amazon doesn't make it terribly easy to stuff. Oh no, Amazon makes it a really easy to send stuff out. Well, they do. Like super duperies. I thought we were talking about buying clothes. Yeah, but you can buy clothes on Amazon.

You can't. Oh, great. That's great. I can't. I can say Amazon. I'm a, I'm a, you know, user of Amazon. I mean, I use Amazon also, but not for close. I mean, underwear, right? No, I don't even get underwear.

What if the underwear does a fit though? I mean, I don't, I don't get any, I'm parallel from Amazon. I mean, like, I just want to clarify also, like, my mind's not buying things, wearing it out, and then returning it. Like, she will buy things, it doesn't fit, and then like returns it, like, doesn things wearing it out and then returning it like she will buy things It doesn't fit and then like returns it like doesn't wear it out and use that I hate

I don't like that and also do you guys play the return game on Amazon where You buy something and you go to returning like is this gonna be one of those things that Amazon says keep just keep it Are you making a whole strategy a whole frugal strategy? Well, no because I actually had like one thing that cost $5 and I was gonna return it and I was like, there's no way that they're gonna have me return this, like they're not gonna make me drive all the way to UPS to drop this off

and sure enough it was one of those things that they made me go back. But then like a mailbox holder that I only need one of that came with my mailbox, but I ordered one because I didn't know it came with it. They're like, nah, keep that. I'm like, what the hell am I gonna do with two of these? I think they track you.

I think that's probably what they do. We're not track you. I assume that they keep, I know they do that in Nordstrom. Like, you can return a certain amount of items up to a certain, without a receipt, up to a certain number. So they like, keep track, because you like, give them your ID card or whatever.

So I think they got a file on you, Billy. And it like, this dude, I was here trying to scam us out a couple bucks. Yep. Every couple months, he's like the stupidest thing is like Nintendo switch like knob rubber replacement because my daughter bit it off and then it disappeared and I was like God do I need to start checking or poop to see if it's in there. Did you? I think you did.

You needed it. You can't move. You can't believe it. I want to go back to your wardrobe concern. I was thinking, look, there's clearly cause for concern. There's no cause for concern. I'm not going to even pretend like this. You look like a dad, which is fine. But these are not clothes that I've bought since having a child. I've just had this dad look for 10 years or so.

So you're in your prime now. Why are you trying to change it? You have a little stretch there where you are exactly where you're supposed to be. The only other thing I would suggest is you need to become a gimmick guy. Because that way you can be frugal and people won't pick you out as someone

who doesn't know how to dress. Because they won't think of you as someone that I'm dressed. They'll think of you as the hat guy. You just got to be a gimmick. You got to find one thing or the guy who wears broaches. Just get just a start putting a $10 broach on all your shirts and they're like, oh Billy Gil broach do Billy. I don't think they're going to say. I don't think broach do Billy is the way that I want to go. There was a guy and and I'm not gonna do this very often,

but I'll do it today. There was a guy that we were in, the parent teacher meeting the teacher things, that had a Fumant shoe, and I was like, yeah, no. But that was like, I don't need to be gimmick guy. There's gimmick guy already. What was he wearing? What was he wearing?

You don't know, because he's Fumant shoe guy. That's all he is, that's it. He's nailed it, that's the thing. You gotta find it. You gotta even focus on 2 guy. That's all he is. That's it. He's nailed it. That's the thing. You gotta find it. Not even focused on his clothes. Yeah, you find a gimmick and then you're set. Then you don't have to spend any money on clothes because no one's gonna look.

Take on, I'm like, hey, it's Fou Man 2 Billy. He's up in here. But here's the thing. And I know that I'm in the wrong business for this. I would love to go through my life being anonymous. I don't want to pointed out in like a group or a crowd or like, oh look there's brochaz billiard when I've been calling, I remember this call.

You chose radio and TV, Billy. Yeah, I know, I mean, it really is a fit for formative. You know what I mean? Like you kind of fell into being like on air personally. That wasn't your goal, was it? Or do I have you mixed up? No, I mean yeah, I wanted to grow and do that, but at the you know sometimes I just want to turn it off you know go be a dad nobody gets that my wife's finally starting to understand that about me as an

introvert is like while I'm full of energy and explosive and talkative on TV when I get home or in my personal life I don't got shit to say. I'm really disappointing. You said it all already, yeah. That's true. Yeah, and even before I started doing the TV stuff, as a player, remember when I was dating my wife, she would be like, why do they get the best version of you? Cause I'm walking in the mall.

Jesus Christ. And someone would recognize me. And then I turn it on for 10 minutes. Oh hey, yeah, thank you, love, support, yeah, thank you so much then they leave and I'm like, my wife hates the version of me that people know because she's like, that's not you. Like you're just not like that.

I don't like this. You're just acting up like you're a character. Acting up. You're not like an exaggerated version of yourself. I'm super boring. Like you guys are playing their characters. You're just disappointed, yeah. Yeah, then their Billy. Oh, well, character. I'm super boring. Like people are playing their disc appointment. Yeah. Yeah.

Been there, Billy. Oh, well, Kerk, I wanna pick back up Billy on your parenting. And now I know that one of your best parenting tactics is to embarrass your child. Well, not yet. That's like in the chamber for down the road. Like a two you can't embarrass your kids yet. Had two your kids still idolize you,

which is great, but I know that's gonna end at some point. Like at some point, why not? I thought you had to shoot it. It's gonna end at 15. That's, that's. I should end it? Why? Well, I mean, I've come to believe,

because my kids, I think, look like, look at me like that also. And I feel like as a parent, we're, but you're somebody. It's so rude. I mean, it doesn't matter, but I think that's good, man. As a parent, one of the best things you can do is like expose your children to the fact that you fail also.

And I've realized that when like I gloss over whatever, I've put together for the kids or whatever accomplishments we have or whatever things we have, I gloss over and just like, hey, this is the final product, like I'm doing them a disservice. So that when they run into like hard times, they can think back to like, you know, that trip we went on last week,

that wasn't so easy, that got angry too, but he fought through it. Like I feel like the best thing you can do is the hardest thing to do because your kids are the last place on earth where people are like, hey, you're perfect because your kids kind of do look at you like that. But the sooner you can burst that bubble, I think the healthier it is for them. If I don't want to burst up, I want someone to appreciate me and it's just my daughters. So I don't want to have no one appreciate me. Dominique, let me explain

this to you. That takes care of itself. Okay. So eventually, like your kids are going to look at you, like you're a superhero for many, many years, and then they'll start to figure stuff out on their own and realize you're a complete dope, okay? And all you'll have left, and they'll call your names and they'll yell at you and they won't respect you. And all you will have left is your opportunity to embarrass them at every turn. I have to tell you, I did it at sleep away camp,

I would take my shirt off, I would run down the dock, my kids were mortified, I do a cannonball right until like I mean That's what you do. I went outside that's retaliation I went outside into my yard the other day and we set up one of those like Those water things that you attached to the hose because my daughter wanted to like play outside I kind of know this was like this was like closer to you know like those those like wavy people This is like one of those and I had water shooting out of his head and his arms, right? Nice.

So she liked seeing those when we would drive by mattress stores and stuff. So I found one that had water like at Walmart, so I got it. So we've never set it up. She just always sees it in the laundry room and wants to do it. So we finally did it the other day, right? And I was like, I'm not super proud of the way I look at this moment. And I was wearing, it was in my yard and I have chain link fences around it

so like my neighbors can see into my yard from two of the sides. So I was like, yeah, I was wearing like a long sleeve like water shirt in my own yard. Oh. Yeah, it was very sad. Yeah. That was a mistake. Yeah, because I could have gotten some vitamin D

which I'm lacking out there that day. Show your tummy to the kids. They deserve to see the tummy. I feel like my kids are like the only ones that won't judge my tummy My daughter she plays my tummy like a drum sometime. It's super cute. I'll lay down And I'll start it and then she comes and she'll lift up my shirt and she'll do that and then she also does the fart thing You know the fart thing? Where you going? You just got farting? No, no, no, like you go and you go and you go and you go and you go raspberry a little blow Like a fart show come up and just give me a fart on my tummy sometimes But at the same time I'm like I wish I didn't have this tummy to play like a drum and fart on

You're supposed to give the raspberry to the kids. I did and she learned and she said oh, you know, well says it Tell me daddy. Let me do for it's on his tummy Greg when it when it criss stop or is he still giving you tummy rice bears? He stopped doing that, but I can speak for a week. He never stopped being embarrassed by me. Yeah. He's 36, so I'm saying.

Yeah, I mean, it just tickles on and on. Was it intentional? Like, were you like, two guys, did you intentionally embarrass him? No, I didn't actually, but he just interpreted stuff I did as embarrassing. Like for example, when I'm the P.F.P.I. commissioner and I'm in a suit and tie, you know, making a speech at the P.F.P.I. Gala. Used to be cute. To him that's embarrassing. I can't figure out why. But you know, I think it's when you see too much of yourself and your parents and you You used to be cute to him that's embarrassing. I can't figure out why. You know.

I think it's when you see too much of yourself and your parents and you start to kind of project out the things that you don't like about you that they've impacted. Is that what Chris is doing right there? I think Chris is a little bit... I'm going to make it to you, too. One day I'm going to make that speech. Can we do like a quick little group therapy session? How do you feel when you come on Tuesdays?

Because I feel like Chris is kind of hard on you. Chris is a bully. Yeah. Oh, I don't want to say it. Yeah, he's a bully He's like that on my own podcast the great Cody really yeah a new episode out every Monday the latest one is great But this is parent that who's on it Greg? We have a field yates Oh, big star. Yeah, I mean, she put ball-tongues up there. Yeah, I'm gonna read it. The baby who has a baby, he doesn't look like he can have kids. He looks like he just is a kid. Yeah.

18 month old I think he has. So let's get to the bottom of this situation. You take another one too I think. I think he did, yeah. Let's get to the bottom of this situation where you had a ball. We had a ball. No, he's tough.

That's our part that's our relationship that's your love language yeah we give each other shit and uh... and that's just the way it is and and we're like when did that start though great i think it's i think it's always been like that it has you know like like i used to announce his high school baseball games

and and he would be mortified by the some of the songs I would play because you know they weren't pre-approved by him you know so he's always found a reason to kind of shake his head and go God dad what songs would you play I remember I played a song called algebra by soul hooligan and he was mortified by the lyrics. Give us a little bit. I don't know that one. Yeah, I don't know. You should play it. I'm sure that we can't. It's probably we don't have the rights to it so you got to give us a little sing. It's not really a song that I can sing. Oh. It's not like a sing to many inwards. Yeah, I got to be going. No, but there is a little language in there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that was the most nervous, even on February and August, to get uncomfortable. Speaking of that, speak of what? Speaking of what? Speaking of the end word. What?

What? I don't know what we're going to be doing. No, no, I stopped it. I so clear out, give this man space. I'm gonna tell you what happened to me that embarrass me. When I was calling his games at Piper High School when he was a coach by this time, and I was up on the dugout,

do we have a delay? Do we have a delay just in case? This is live on YouTube. Very much live. I let the players Give me a 20 second snippet of the song. They wanted to play all the players. Oh, just certain players Yeah, just the players who were in the lineup who I would be announcing And unfortunately I did not pre-screen their selections and one of the players gave me a song that aired once and had inappropriate language in it.

The AD blasted me and it was just an ugly situation. That's why I would rather embarrass Christopher with my song selection, knowing that they're at least appropriate, then allow the kids to give me a song that they happen to like that is not something to be played over a PA system. So you didn't pre-check these songs, right? No. What song was it? Oh, I couldn't even tell you. But it was, I was mortified.

Give us a little bit of it. I'm like, did I hear what I just heard? No, I was absolutely mortified. Let me a little bit of it. I'm like, did I hear what I just heard? No, I was absolutely mortified. Let me hear some of them lyrics. Yeah. How's the Don't Like That Chris Colleague grade when he come in here? Yeah.

What's that about? Does it? Yes. I don't think I even noticed that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Now, you have a second son. He's a bully though.

You have a second son, Michael correct? Yes. Is this like a theme that's carried on from son to son? Like is your other son treat you the same way? Cause then it's not for show, cause the show's not on. Right. No, Michael and I have a little bit more of what I would call a typical father son relationship.

Oh, you love him more, huh? Whereas, no. He's your favorite. Whereas Christopher and I are what we are on the air and what we are on my podcast. We just have that relationship. You know, almost like Christopher and I are what we are on the air and what we are on my podcast. We just have that relationship. Almost like Christopher and I are, behave like a couple of buddies

more than a father-son dynamic. Which I don't mind. I wasn't one of those dads who wanted to be, I'm not your dad, just thinking of me as your friend. I was never into that and I'm not now, but it's fine with me that it's evolved that way. Who's your favorite, correct? Yeah, come on. It's, you know, I'll go to my grave with that one.

So Michael. Yeah, it's quite great. And speaking of my grave, I try to get Christopher to promise me that P.F.P.I. tradition will live on beyond me and he won't do it. He won't even give me that parting gift. So you won't even give your wife the parting gift of not wearing that damn shirt.

Yeah. That's right. I bet you Michael will. I bet you. It could be. Probably. It could be. I gotta be honest with you guys.

Hey, what's up? There's nothing scarier to me. There when Greg Cody hits you with a speaking of because of this segment He hit us with speaking of the grave and speaking of the N word guys Oh, that was a nervous moment in the history of the show I was close. It was touching go there for a second guys But you let him go. Oh, yeah, I so yeah, I did call I so I did call ISO. Now you're nervous. I was nervous for you. Oh.

I'm gonna let an elderly white man say speaking of the inward. One thing I'm not gonna do is dive in for the night train. What was great is that he said speaking of the inward and everyone gave him a second to clarify. You said speaking of what? And you said, oh, speaking of the inward. Double down. I mean, it was the most embarrassing moment of my life in terms of speaking into a microphone and broadcast. Was this done

Intentionally by the player like was this a setup or was this just bad judgment by this child? I think it was bad judgment You know a lot a lot of the players on the team In enjoyed you know hip-hop and rap music and everything and one of the lyrics given me was a little Our rated and it's the one and only time I've ever not screened something that I was gonna Play on the PA system piper high piper who are you planning it? I don't remember What city did you really expect winter remember? Remember piper most of

I don't know how they see so you see remember Piper most of the history of your public life I thought you might remember it might be burning your memory what city was it in Sunrise yeah little worried yeah I was concerned we were all looking for the word plantation Greg that's all we want it oh yeah just to be transparent. It's no bopping in together. It's no bido. It's no bie, okay. It's always nearby. So, lessons learned. Yes. Guys, hey, screen your music before you play it. Don't trust a 16 year old boy.

That's a good lesson that always live by, which is one of the reasons why I'm nervous today. Not only is it carrying the burden of sitting and dancing sweaty chair, it's also with a lot of guys around me. And I've come to realize last week when I was in here, I look around for approval on the subjects that we're going on and always found that the women that were in here, they would give me to look like,

hey, mm-hmm. And all the guys are like, keep going, keep going. So speaking of the N word, I'm nervous for the rest of the day because that's where we started and not that it's their responsibility, but they tend to have better judgment than us and I miss them already.

I was also speaking of the N word. I got some new music coming out so, and so stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. We are sad in the streets. I was so featuring Jessica Smetana. Wooo! Spit. Presented by Draft King Sportsbook, one of America's top rated sportsbook apps.

I've been thinking about a lot. This is the Don Lebertard show with the Stugats! Alright, so I was trying to get to a topic about parenting, I think earlier. I'm trying to get to a topic about parenting, I think earlier. And I've come to realize that parenting, at least for me being a dad is like 50% performance and my dad didn't tell me that.

Like half my life I'm acting like something is more interesting, it is acting like something is funnier that it is. Acting like something is more beautiful that it is. Pretending like I feel like playing this game. Pretending like I want to put on a tutu when I really just want to go to sleep. Like it's just so much performance. I did not realize that part of my life was going to be like, I just thought like, I provide for them and I'm there for the tough times, talking through the tough times, but like day to day and just getting

off vacation too last week or the week before last, we were away. And it's not a vacation as all parents know. I don't know if it's all dads or just all parents, probably all parents. Vacation is just a trip for us, this vacation for them is just so much effort. But I guess you vacation with your adult son, Greg Cody. So it's not the same, huh?

Well, when they were kids, there was nothing more tiring than a full day at Disney World with two kids who were like, you know, four and eight or whatever. Exhausting. We are absolutely, I'm never more tired than the evening after a day at Disney World. But you are right about performance and pretending.

Like we had our granddaughter over the weekend and she loves to do puzzles So pop do a puzzle with me and so for 45 minutes which felt like two hours I'm piecing together with her a Barbie puzzle. I'm not a puzzle guy Like put a crayon in my hand. I love a coloring book. Like I will go to town with crayons, but puzzles are not for me, but she loves it. And so you have to pretend. Therefore you love it. And therefore I love it.

I love the time with her. But the actual puzzle itself, I'm like, isn't there something else we can play? How many pieces was this puzzle? I think it was like a hundred, two hours or a hundred pieces puzzle. It was like this big, you know, like, you know, a rectangle. Did you, like, complete the puzzle if you find the missing piece or you try to like guide her like, oh, that, that one looks like it might fit over there.

You know what? My wife taught me the strategy of doing a puzzle because she's really into puzzles and like the strategy is you start with the edges or the corners and then you work inward. Work your way in. Yeah, and I like inward. What did I say? Speaking of the inward, I follow the inward. Inward. But I'm bad at puzzles. I'm just not a puzzler. Are you lamenting how much you lie to your children? Is that what? Like what is going on here with you? It's not even how much we lie to our children. That's what we do. I don't know.

I agree. Sometimes you just have to mislead them a little bit. But I think that I just, as an introvert, and we talked about it earlier, how you are kind of always performing a little bit, you want a time not to perform. And then I realized with my kids, it's so much more performance than I ever anticipated. It is like, even when they do something wrong

that doesn't make me that angry, it's like the, I have to be stern and it's not even like yelling. It's like I have to be really upset about them crossing the street right now without looking both ways even though nothing happened. But because I need them to know that this is not something that's okay to do.

But I mean, in you talking about that, it sort of feels like that's just what our jobs are here, right? Like, I have to pretend to care about Miami football recruiting rankings when Mike talks about it, right? Like, we have to do that with each other all the time, so I don't know. You hear that laugh? Been doing it with Dan for 20 years. Yeah, the Kingies!

We got the King Dad in a year right here. You're gonna dance, you know what I mean? All y'all are dead, all y'all got beautiful, beautiful babies and signs. We should come up with a metal art media coloring book because it's a thousand people out here listening that has kids just like y'all. That is great idea. A little color.

You feel me? Carl, C-O-B. What a great idea. Do we end dollar ideas? 80s, like maybe? 80, 20 years what? I mean, hey, you said it not me. The first thing in the color book is the chair that you have on your shirt.

That is page one, again, February and August. Celebrate it. Never forget. So Greg, what do you guys planning? For what? What do you mean? I mean, I know you're not just gonna let that slide What's your plan? You didn't go to the meeting revenge store? You haven't got no plan. No, I didn't go to the meeting. I apologize. Oh, no, you don't got to apologize I'm glad that you did go to the meeting. No, great set the cookout, so oh

My bad my bad you can't go to the meeting in the cookout. I am going to the cookout. I don't know when it is But I'll be there. I love a cookout nobody loves the cookout. I'm going to the cookout. I don't know when it is, but I'll be there. I love a cookout. Nobody loves a cookout like me. I'm telling ya. I don't, I don't, Boston butters the only thing I do, and it takes like seven or eight hours. So it's never gonna be in a competition

because it takes too long, right? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It can be in a competition. Cause those barbecue competitions they last all day. Oh, great, okay, good. Great go to be cooking. Thanks, give it turkey, bevel for it,

with that grease smack on these feet. Damn, right. Now, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. Tssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss more money on the oil than you do on the bird. It's crazy. It's such a waste of money to deep fry a turkey, but there's nothing like it. It's so good. Oh my god. How do you prepare a Boston butt? I season. It is deep red when I put it in my big green egg because I have seasoned it with sort of a cake, my own homemade Cajun spice, and then I cut it in half so that it cooks in half the time.

I've perfected the Boston Butt, I would say. It's something I'm actually proud to serve as the Boston Butt. My ribs, average, average good, but the Boston Butt, it's like I invented it. Do you take out the money muscle on the Boston butt? No, there's a money muscle that runs opposite of the bone area. And that's what you usually turn into the judges and the barbecue come to.

Really? Yeah, it's the best part of the Boston butt. See, when I cook a Boston butt, they're all the best part, Roy. Of course. Yeah, everybody. We have a Royce Wheelhouse. That kind of thing. Exactly.

And you know it. I was in a barbecue competition in Key West a couple weekends ago. Actually, there's a fishing, lobster and barbecue competition over three days. And we ended up being second overall in the actual barbecue competition. We? You had a team? Yeah, there was a team. Dave Williamson, who was a comic who was a friend of the show, who was a fan of the show,

he invited me down to Key West to be a part of his team. And the judges voted as number one in rib eye, salmon, and baby back ribs. We did pretty well against professional pit masters. Excellent. Thank you. Nice to be done. A triathlon of... Why can't you pick a thing? Why you. Nice to be done. I try Athalon of...

Why can't you pick a thing? Why did it have to be three things? No, that's what they gave us. They gave us four proteins. The other one was bacanya, I believe it was pronounced. And you call it a shark. What did it do? Didn't you catch a shark?

You brought it to the shark? No, we didn't bother with you. No, let's catch and release it on that one. Nice. Kicks Avenabue. Thank you. Very quickly brought it. What do you do with the salmon?

It was mango salsa that went with the salmon. We put it on the big green egg, and I believe we put a little glaze on there, so it was pretty good. That's awesome. Don't sound as good as the butt. We didn't cook butt. Yeah. I mean, I'll make a butt, pull it, and bring it in sometime.

All right. Make sure it's what I'm here I'm trying to I want to get a taste of Grace butt. There you go Yeah, line up getting line I'm telling you for that honor To taste your butt. Yeah, it's a long line. It is a long line. It's the long and winding line I don't want to taste your butt Don't say that until you have.

Don't knock it to your tried it, you do. You don't know what you like. Oh man. So I'm at this point in my life where the, your parents are a lot more reliant on you. I feel like this might be something that Stu can understand a little bit more, especially now with your father. Probably needs more of your attention than he has in the past.

And it shifts quickly. I think this is why I came to the point where I feel like the sooner you can show your weaknesses to your children, the better off you can be. Cause I was like in college before I was like, oh, my parents aren't right about everything. And that I think was a mistake. And I could say by children that, uh, that realization and also help them like understand that we fall short. Cause I think that was one of the stresses for me coming up is like, ah, like I can't fail

here because like we don't fail. That's not what we do. But it's nice to be able to look around and the people you look up to and they fail. They fail and they bounce back. Because whenever you watch a documentary, the important part of the story is where the person kind of falters and bounces back from it. That's the lesson you can learn from it. So I don't know.

I see that with my parents now where it's like, they need more and more attention and decision making and my mom is smart, which is made it, she's like aware of it. So she doesn't try anymore, she's like, hey, I'm too old for this. I'm gonna need you to handle this for me. And that just like makes me nervous. I haven't gotten there with my dad yet. He has so much pride, he is filled with so much pride and he is fighting his age, So much, he looks great.

He's in great shape. But like, I want him to stop driving. And having that conversation with him, it never goes well. It lasts a couple of minutes. He yells at me and I move on to something else. Like, he is not taking my advice right now. I noticed so my dad runs a 10 mile marathon once a year. And I keep thinking about, I ran it with him once. And it was not a marathon, a 10 mile error once a year and I keep thinking about ran it with him once

and oh, that's not a marathon, a 10 mile there once a year and I ran it with him once and he's getting up there, getting close to 70 and he keeps doing it and I'm like, because I think with those type of things you also don't want to stop them because once you stop things start to deteriorate faster and like we're not near deterioration

because he's running 10 miles. But I think that's a good thing. He's running 10 miles. still he wants to still do it It certainly improves his health with my dad like he drives. I'm afraid he's gonna get in an accident because he usually does Like I gave my car for four days and came back with three dents in it I'm like that. What'd you do? He's like nothing. I had a friend who's grandfather was like getting up an age and they took the keys away from him at a certain point There's a difficult conversation But before they did that the guy made like 50 copies of the key and had them hidden throughout the house

That's a cagey vet and after he passed they I guess like sold a house or whatever So they were cleaning things up and as they were cleaning up they kept finding more and more hidden keys that he had Throughout the house that he used to continue to drive after they took away his keys my dad is turning 65 years old He is still a longshoreman. I'm like you need retired Retired not that old As a longshoreman though. Oh, man like you got a retired now, man I think it's important what you said earlier about seeing your parents be human, because I've never seen my parents be human until it was too late.

I was so embarrassed. I fell on hard times in life. I was sleeping outside behind holders, behind different places, because I was embarrassed to tell my perfect mom that I'm broken. I messed up. And whenever I finally got around to tell her, she was, bro I messed up this time this time this time this time So what you said is very important for your kids to not see you as this super power so they can come to you in times of vulnerability you gotta be approachable so we've established I'm the best dad here because I said that

And you do agree with me. I may not be the best host because I got a little bit of and you do agree with me? I may not be the best host because I got a little bit of Stu Gotson yet. I got a little bit of Stu Gots happening. Yeah, lean into it, lean into it, baby! Speaking of the N word, Boston fun. Presented by Draft King Sportsbook, one of America's top rated sportsbook apps.

So part of responsibilities in this share

is to be the force that tries to drag us back towards sports at all times. I've done an awful job of that so far. So I'm gonna correct that. I went fishing though. Oh, you did. Thank you. You did fish for his sports.

And Greg told us about the time where he was doing the P.A. System of baseball games. That was a baseball story. It's different sports. This seems Greg, and I mean this lovingly, it seems like it was not that difficult to trick you with that song. Like it seems like you were an easy mark for that.

Like you were too trusting of those around you. So do you think that it was an intentional plant? It might have been because I'm thinking back to like the days of like certain substitute teachers that are like, you know, we can get away with certain things with this substitute teacher if we just ask like or whatever. Or you have like a teacher that you know, like, don't really want to read this thing today in class.

Like, if we just get them going about themselves, we are it like golden for a good like 20 minutes less class today. And then you just have the follow up questions that you know will kind of set the teacher off and go in certain directions. It seems like that may have been the thing. Like you were too nice to these kids and they knew they could take advantage. You know what, upon reflection, I think there's a real plausibility to that. The idea that a couple of kids are in the dugout,

y'all can't get up and they're like, you know what? I'm gonna put this, I'm gonna make this my walk up song. And where you will you see the look on his face when that comes on? And then that is exactly how it works. All right, I got a quick assignment for you guys in the Ship of Nutaner. What song has the best like first line for a walk up

if you're trying to get Greg Cody in trouble? What's the song that starts off the most aggressively? While you guys are doing that, I will... I was reminded that we went into that story, we enjoyed that story thoroughly, but we didn't do our proper journalistic duty and asking some more follow-up questions. So the person who gave you the song, I mean, how did his parents get to this country? That's what I need to know. All right, got the song,

Hair Mary by Tupac. Ooh. I ain't no killer, but don't push me. That's a good one, that's a good one. I gotta sell it. It's yo-goddy feature in Rich Homey Kwan. Google it on your own. Yeah.

I'm a bit afraid to do that. Oh yeah. All right Greg, so, it on your own. I'm a bit afraid to do that. Yeah. Alright Greg, so um, race or identity of the kid that gave you the song. I don't recall who. Oh, covering, covering, covering form. Christopher might, he might, he was a third base coach, I think at the time. And uh, but, but he was probably less embarrassed by that than by some of my musicals, my clean musical selections.

Wait, he was the third-base coach so you continued being a PA announcer after Chris was done playing. I did, which I, you know, looking back, I'm like, why? Why, why did I do that? You enjoyed it, that's why. I did. What do you mean? I enjoyed it, you know.

It's another inward, I think is why narcissism. I did like announcing games. I did. I was just reminded of another potential song that could have been Seymourta F. Well, Google it on your own. Seymourta's the most popular song. Pretty much any Seymourta track.

Oh, Seymourta got out, didn't he? Speaking of Se't speak to see murder Daven cook to the jets. There we go. What is that about? Do you think they want to be the man's themselves or is this too much you trying to drag it back to sports because I'm Probably comfortable where we are I mean greenie said that the team order greenie said that the jets are the biggest threat to the chiefs in the AFC. That's ridiculous. Oh, no. No. I mean, the biggest threat is the Ravens in my view. I think at this point, Ravens assuming the offense is suitable for Lamar Jackson, which he seems to like it.

The spread them out and attack everywhere. Like before, what they would do is condense their formation and essentially say, we're going to run the ball. Can you guys stop it? And the answer is, most times, no. Now their strategy is more like, we're going to put ball. Can you guys stop it? And the answer is most times no. Now their strategy is more like, we're gonna put a bunch of receivers out there, spread them out there, and you pick where you're gonna help.

Are you gonna help on safe flowers? You're gonna help on Old Dale Beckham Jr. Are you gonna load the box to be concerned against Lamar's run? Oh, it's about time they did this. We got Mark Andrews also, and JK Dobbins, if he wants to play, and a really good offensive line. So now I think this makes for a more dangerous offense.

It's less defense friendly, I think. It was really nice to have as a defense an offense that's going to kill the clock and get 13 first downs. There might be some big plays to put the defense out there and some turnovers to do the same thing, but I like this idea a lot better. I don't even know if the Jets are the second best team

in the division. I think that they're just poised and primed to disappoint. I really do, because the hype with Aaron Rogers is such that expectations now are sky high. Yeah, but he doesn't care about that. I mean, Aaron Rogers has lived with expectations his entire career.

Sure he has, but the outside expectations that they may be the biggest challenge to kc i think is is a little crazy well that's greenie saying it right but but he's not what else is saying well he's not alone and defense is for real there's also a different secondary is yet in expectations when your air in rogers being a jet verse being a packer and that those expectations that came with being a packer and that those expectations that came with being a packer were all simply because of his greatness and If that team flopped oftentimes it wasn't gonna be blamed placed on Aaron Rodgers

It was gonna be look at what the front office didn't do or look at the running game that doesn't exist or look at the defense It doesn't exist even though he has a bad end up to you championship games for the Packers You're right, though, right? And so those expectations were there in large part because we appreciate Aaron Rodgers greatness. That's why the expectations are in New York, but they've done everything to surround him with a great team. He's going there and now expectations are higher from national media. And when we look at national media, oftentimes that's located, you know, centered in New York. So there's all of these jets fans who are leading the charge. And to that point, he's going from the smallest market

in the NFL to the largest. And Aaron Rogers can be a little thin-skinned, like when things aren't going right. And so if the jets don't, if the jets start off one and three, which they could, and he's throwing a couple of picks, could be very, very interesting. The schedule is very, very difficult. The beginning is brutal. The beginning of the schedule.

Yeah. And nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bill is just as a reminder of you building. So there's that. Oh, yeah. You said they're not the second best team in the division. So are you prepared to give your division rankings? Or is that like, is that embargoed for the Greg Cody show

where you give official? No, it's just give the top three. It's very simple. It's buffalo Miami the Jets and then New England It's I feel pretty strongly about that. It's a gag. Yeah, thank you. You're not sweating the dolphins not getting Dalvin cook No, no right. Most of it is good. Like you look at his career track record. He averaged like five yards of carry last year. He's not the problem. The problem is the commitment to the run. I think they were fifth from the bottom in run pass ratio last year.

And if they run the ball more and Mosterd is going to become a star and they're going to take some heat off to it. Keep them healthy by not subjecting them to as many sacks. And I think it really benefits them to become more of a balanced offense, which they're very capable of doing with their running back room. So you're not no concern about losing Jalen Ramsey in the defense. Because I think the defense is going to be integral, to make him a deep-rending play.

That was a team that I picked to win a division. I have the dolphins above even the bills, which may surprise some. No, I think losing Jalen Ramsey for probably more than half a season is a huge blow. I mean, he was their big addition. Like Tyree Kill was the year before. That's a huge loss for them,

but I think they can withstand it. I think, you know, Mina Kimes said recently that she thinks the dolphins have one of the top five rosters in the league for overall talent. And I agree with her. And Jeff Wilson also, that's, they don't, they don't, they didn't never need Daven cook in my opinion.

They got Jeff Wilson. He's a number one in certain teams. So salute to the most. Yeah, but most of it is a good back But he gets hurt pretty often like every year Most of it's gonna miss four or five games. I love where the jets have arrived It's why it's one of the many reasons you go out and acquire or get a guy like Aaron Rogers Daven cook never wants to come to the jets on a one-year deal He still didn't want to come to the Jets on a one year deal. He still didn't want to come to the Jets on one year. Yeah, but you know what?

It was the best offer and probably in his mind, the best chance to win a Super Bowl. It's like, all right, let me try this Aaron Rodgers thing out for a year. Let's see what happens in New York, you know. I think he just wanted to be on a heart and I, knocks, just full disclosure. He's a look at me a little way.

He wanted to be on TV with Aaron Rodgers, but hey. Guys, you're here. You're just smithing Dahlvin Cook. He's average five yards of carries No, it's his career. It just feels like it's settling season You know what I mean like we're like a couple weeks now into training camp It's like I got to sign somewhere and teams are just players just starting to settle on teams That they didn't want to go to is what it feels like especially running backs Yeah, especially at that position and he's 28 which is young for just about every position and like middle age for a running back

You mentioned hard knocks career. Yeah, the one thing that was missing from hard knocks is the sad story where they get us all attached to some edge of the roster guy and they cut them they didn't have that I Guess it's nice to not have that to to exploit that painful moment for a player. But you don't think it's coming that moment? They exploited Liv's driver, the host, man. They made him look goofy as hell. Yeah, weird.

I don't like the exploitation. And I remember, Vante Davis stands out, a guy that you guys are familiar with down here, when he got traded traded and he was crying, he had to call his grandmine. And I like, that was probably a little gratuitous. We didn't have to do all that in his life as embarrassing and uncomfortable. But generally, I like to remind everybody of that part of football. Like I like to remind everybody how passionate the players are and how half the players that we're watching are not gonna make the team.

You're gonna have to go somewhere else and figure something out. And I didn't see it in the first episode. I don't want as much as I enjoyed the first episode of Hard Knocks, I don't want Hard Knocks to be without that painful, uncomfortable portion that we all kind of hate seeing, but reminds us that

the real sense. You wanna see someone's dream die. Yeah, I do. I know I'm part of it. I know I'm supposed to be ashamed of that but I'm not. I do. It's not that I want to see someone's dream die. I want y'all to see someone's dream die because I think that we would do it for us.

Yeah, it's for you. We glorify anyone who's ever put on a jersey to NFL. Like, oh, air to NFL. Life's good for them. Or professional sports, I guess we don't hear. I think people will this show no better than that, but by and large, most fans do. So I'd like to remind them like, you know what?

It's really hard and it really sucks for lots of players. I agree. I think if Hardinock does nothing more than really humanized players and let people know that it's all not just going to the bank with a lot of money. There's a disappointing side to the NFL for a lot of players. Who would be, you guys know the Grim Reaper, the guy who goes around and tells the player who's going to get cut, Coach got to speak to you, of the people in here right now.

Bring your playbook. Yeah. Who's most well-liked? That would be it. It. Yeah, who's most well-liked? Be it. It's Roy. Roy's most well-liked. Well-liked, we have to say. So Roy's walking around the locker room and everybody's getting nervous.

Yeah. There'll be no one left. Bring your playbook. Coach want to see you. Bring your iPad. Roy would just do it though to people that he wanted to mess with. Right?

He'd be like, Coach wants to see you. He got a crab, but I have a job. And he's showing me, like, yeah, Roy said to see, like, I don't know. people that he wanted to mess with. Right? Every player got a coach wants to see you, like, like, a crab. I don't have a job. And he showed up and he was like, yeah, Roy said to see you, like, I don't, I don't have to see you. I'm a very petty person. Yeah, and bring your mama. I hope he was there.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
