You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Greg, Greg, hey. Hey, tell us to get to stop talking for a second. We're going to do content here. How about this, witherspoon? Greg, should be good with. Greg, yeah, I hear you, Mike. It was an odd show for you a little bit. Yeah, I got we put a smile on your face by playing a couple of

your songs. You didn't have a back in my day. Right. And we only got you really in a rhythm maybe once or twice this show. And then suppose game show. And I'd like the opportunity on a Greg Cody Tuesday to let you get some topics off. Hmm. What do you want? What's your remember the things you had to talk to? What's on your mind? on a Greg Cody Tuesday to let you get some topics off. Oh, hmm. What do you want? Do you remember the things you had talked to? What's on your mind? It's late in the game.

I know you wanted to talk about Mayne Diaz. Oh, well, you go with Mayne Diaz, sure. You want to talk about Mayne? I mean, that's in your real house. Did you pulverize that yesterday? I haven't spoken about Mayne Diaz. Let's go there. I haven't been asked.

We're already on the air. We're on the air. We're on the air. We're on the air now. Here's already there. We're on the air. We're on the air now. Here's the thing. This is beautiful to me and I love it because it puts that much more pressure on Mario Christophe. A fellow ACC team, Duke, hires the guy that Miami fired to hire Mario Christophe.

And when you look back on many DS's career here, wasn't that bad? You could make an argument that they fired him a little prematurely. He had a much better record in three years than Mani doesn't do. I'm just saying it adds another layer. It adds another layer of interest to me in the coming season.

You're $10, Greg, because you have twice into the microphone three times. You have a cough button. I don't know what's on the microphone Three times you have a cough button clear He doesn't have a cough button. Yeah, no, I really don't it's not gonna be all the $5 Support art or guy. I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to You do have a cough button now and we tried to teach you this but I'd like to explain to the audience after we had a very public showing of getting your haircut you now look like the cast members of the Jersey Shore 50 years from now your hair right now is something straight out of the movie Greece what is happening what the movie Greece the famous country okay yeah don't be offended he was telling me earlier that he tried to cut it himself.

I mean, so that's a dangerous game. Well, actually, listen, so I did hear this. What happened? Because Greg Cody here got a very polished, very expensive, very fashionable haircut that he did not like. But I did. Would he hate a Greek haircut? I just heard you got asked, Greg, Greg, is that a cut on your ear?

And Greg said, yes, I had a mishap while trying to cut my own hair. What happened? I wanted to give myself, because the haircut that I had here, supposedly a free haircut, but by the time you give the guy a lavish tip, you end up with your...

What did I love about that? Which stole from the fine bucket? It's gonna allow you to keep going, but that was really good shit he had on Managed Hill. Thank you. Anxious to see where it was going. Thank you very much. So I get the little razor thing and I'm trying to give myself a very brief fade.

You're trying to fade your own hair. I'm gathered right on top of my ear, just a little subtle thing on each side. So I can avoid going to the barber for another few months. And then the first time I tried it, it dug like a big patch out, and I'm still trying to cover it up. So I learned my lesson.

You know what, I'm not gonna try to cut my own hair anymore. And did you enjoy your time on the Brian Celter Orchestra? Or, no, I don't know what you mean by that. Jeremy, let's finally get to the top five silliest payments in baseball. Before we do that, perhaps Greg now has a greater appreciation of hair stylists, the people who cut your hair and you'll give them a better tip.

No, it's hard. I gave him a good tip. Right. Out of the bucket. I think I gave him 20 bucks. What's wrong with that for a tip for a haircut? It wasn't your money. You stole it from the fine bucket. Yeah, I know.

It was there. 20 dollar bill. I took it. You know, in the post pandemic era, I don't carry cash money anymore. That's right. You know, what happened was I walked in, said, are you going to take care of this guy? And he goes, how so? Because I didn't have any money. And then I got to. And then you I walked in, said, are you gonna take care of this guy? And he goes, how so? Because I didn't have any money.

And then I got, and then you found some. And then you go, look, there's a jar of money right there. You know, if I should have given him a signed copy of the Pride of Align, but at that time, the book hadn't come out yet. So, there's a $20 bill sitting there. I grab it, meaning fully meaning to pay back the fine bucket. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Thank you for the reminder by the way. Finders keepers. Yeah, damn right. You owe Jessica $20. She reached into the fine bucket the other day after instant death and there was no money in it. Somebody continues to steal the money out of the fine bucket. It's offensive to me.

It's a fireable offense. It's a fireable. I don't fire anybody and it's a fireable offense. Like, there will be at at some point, me having to fire somebody if they get caught. Yeah. Stealing from the fine, but that's going to be the thing that gets be fired. It's going to get somebody fired. Like, we can't have someone who's a thief and just stealing money. So the Jessica, like, there was money in there. Just I know because I'm the only one who pays the fines

Chris just insinuated that someone who no longer works here has flown back into town to steal the fine bucket money once again For those of you who know the inside joke there you go. I have my theories Jeremy let's finally get to this because while I like the joke of Never getting to your top five silliest payments in baseball I actually have wanted to get to this for about three hours. So please let's do it. Do you have any O. L. I do? I have two O. L. I.s each of the because no longer Anthony Rendon. We already got to that. This is for this is next year. The sillier coming correct. So in 2024, these baseball players will be paid this amount of money. So two OLS each at

$2 million equal to Shohei Otoni. First, Joey Wendell. Then he is yet to play in the major leagues. He's the number one prospect for the Milwaukee Brewers and was recently extended Jackson, Tureo People get paid the same amount of money right now. I show Hey, Otoni number five At 38 million dollars the Oakland athletics 38 million Number four of course Bobby, Bonilla Number four. Of course.

Bobby Bonilla. One million dollars. Number three. At $3.6 million from the Cincinnati Reds. This is great. Kangriffi Jr. How old is the kid? How old is the kid?

Is he Geno Tareda's age? 51? 51 I think? I think. Kangriffi Jr. is Geno Tareda's age number two at 9.6 million dollars from the Baltimore Orioles Chris Davis Junior That's that's the same Chris Davis. Yeah, the Orioles catcher. I remember that guy. Yeah, the first baseman

Three struck out a lot senior moved on but a number one another strike out king from the New York Yankees at $32 million, Giancarlo Stam. Greg, I mean, that's silly. It is, it's all silly. Greg Cody in a continued effort to get and mind the most out of you. I have found generally the best way to do that is to talk about you and the things you care about, which is you, the pride of a lion, the book is out. You should get it. It is a bestseller. It has been very popular. He did it with Ron McGill, who I should say would be an

excellent game show host. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Greg Cody is the host of the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. You should check out that podcast. And also Greg Cody, if you want to get him engaged in subject matter, ask him about either his fantasy team or his Hall of Fame ballot because he loves to tell people he's got a Hall of Fame ballot. So in an effort to get you involved in the show and Mike Ryan, you better be ready in the event that he wants to go Lobos here. What do you want to do, Greg Cody,

with the final four minutes that we have here? Do you want to do your Hall of Fame ballot or do you want to do your fantasy league? I'd like to do the fantasy. Yeah, it is time now for a weekly update on our favorite team. Rex Lobos Here is the head coach and president of football operations Thank you, thank you. I have to tell everyone the Lobos did not have a great season.

Okay, a few months ago we incorporated and patented the phrase America's most famous fantasy football team. AMFFFTE, put it on T-shirts, thousands bought it, and then what did we do with all that new found attention? We took a shit during the fantasy season, in P.F.E.I. fantasy. We had a losing record. We were snake bit, Cooper Cup was injured for a lot of the season. Even year bored by this.

Lamar Jackson just was up and down for me. You know, he's the all time lobo, L.J.C., but he just did not come through for me. And so I want to tease something. It's not official yet, but I want to tell the Dan Levitard show listeners. Greg's lobo is the thinking of a change at the top. We're thinking of firing head coach Greg Cody and bringing in a whole new regime to the lobo's beginning next season. These things are in the works. Any candidates?

No candidate. Well, we're interviewing, we'll begin the interview process, but, you know, Deon Sanders is a rumor, but I don't know if he wants to leave Colorado already. We're gonna see about that. And- I gotta pay him, Greg. Yeah, I know, but yeah, you know, the transfer portal, if only it worked in fantasy, am I right?

The transfer portal, yeah. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, that's the big news with Greg's Lobos. We're thinking of a big change at the top. But Lobos nation don't give up on the bows because we're gonna come back stronger than ever next season. Thank you, thank you very much.

Drive safely. I wanna submit a resume to be your head coach. When will there be some closure on this? You know, the off season is just not begun. Matter of fact, the Lobos are in the the non championship round playoffs. No one cares about the consolation. I know, you know, I hate that. My dad's like, I was like, I don't want to separate which seat or nobody should even they shouldn't fantasy league should not even have that right. It should be the champion. Chris is saying you like it though. You get into it. You know, I'm duty bound to feel the team. Let's put it that way.

But, you know, you have no choice. Yeah, but we don't, but if you had a choice. No, you know, it's all or nothing. You know, there's no in-season tournament in the fantasy. Oh, there should be that in-season fantasy. No, that's hilarious. Fenton, Fending.

There's three weeks in the middle of the season where you go through, you know, you win a little extra prize. How's pending. There's three weeks in the middle of the season where you'd go through, you know, you win a little extra prize. How's PFPI looking? This is hilarious, actually. We let my daughter, who's five, and my brother's girlfriend in, and my brother's girlfriend who does, like, she's just guessing. And she's winning the league right now.

She is by only one game, though. Yeah, but she's guessing. Uncle Dick is second and the Lobos are third quite frankly. But Tatiana gracefully not doing well. No, Grayson is 99 and 109 and not that I keep track. But you know, Tatiana is not guessing. She's not in first place without help. And there's no log against it. Don't get me wrong. I think she's looking at the spread she consults uh... properly like that's yeah no it's legal if she wins the championship as a rookie as a p.m. p.i.

rookie she will have earned it and she and Grayson right now are neck and neck for p.m. p.i. rookie the year race seems like only one of them should win and they're the only rookies is that the only rookies once in first place once in last well yeah but the one in last place is making a real run at Ruth's raccoons longstanding record of 17 unique kits in 2007. How long has that been a record? I think it was sitting like 2007.

Unbreakable. Yeah, well, we thought so. We thought so. But but Graceland had two unique kits this past week has 13 for the season with what is it four weeks left. So it's going to be neck and neck whether or not she gets enough coonskins to capture that championship. It's an awkward ending. Can you turn on his microphone? That was a terrible way to end this.

But the camera buttons. You wanna get to your main EDS point? I made it already. Jesus. BAM!
