You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Stu Gatch needs his phone. Random phone. My dad just did what you have to do. Whenever somebody else has lost their phone, you gotta just make sure you know where your phone is. Yeah. Like I just saw Stu Gottsch just said,

hey, can someone find my phone out there? And my dad did the normal thing of, where's my phone? Okay, it's right here, I'm good to go. Yeah, but he knows his phone is secure and he's not concerned about my phone. Wasn't very considerate what he did. Very selfish of you. He was just like.

We're on the air. Yeah, Greg, what are we like? I didn't know. What do I know? Nobody alerts me. Dad, we want to give you a space here. This is the post-game show. You're leaving us for the week here.

Right on. Talk to us. What did we not get to today that you wanted to get to? I think we got to everything. Everything was on my list. There were pleasant surprises in store. I loved being able to talk about why the inner Miami season is gonna be a disappointment slash failure if they don't win the MLS Cup so I think

I'm good man I feel good I feel as good as I can given extenuating circumstances. Our interview with Jordan Schultz made me think did you ever have aspirations of being a performer? I'm certain he did. You were young. Yep. You still can. Yeah. You know, I used to entertain my family. Much as you and your brother did for a time. You would stand up on a table, and you don't remember that?

I don't think this is unique to us. I think a lot of kids at age like three and four like dance for their families. Okay, but older as well. You guys were doing it when you were like nine and five. I remember always dancing to We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel. Yeah, that's true.

Like Nan and Pop would be on the couch and Me and Michael would come running in the room and dance into that song. Yeah, it was a big performance. A lot of times Michael would be like in a hamper and I would be like, and there would be a blanket over it so I'd be like sliding the hamper in and I'd start dancing and all of a sudden

Michael pops out of the hamper. Choreographed? Not that detailed. Oh. Long intro, way too long of an intro for that song. Just get to it. It's like 45 seconds of what Jeremy's doing. It's the worst.

Let's get to it. Greg, I think of you as a classic song and dance man. I was an entertainer when I was a kid. Yeah? You're an entertainer now. I mean, what can I tell you? kind of thing so forth and so on? Mm-hmm I'll I remember you telling me as a kid like something you wanted to be when you grew up was a bus driver because you like

The idea of driving a big wheel. I like the flat steering wheel. Yeah, you had to go up and go like that I wanted to be a FM DJ really I you have a name? Can you do like a walk through what that would have sounded like? Well, the famous Uncle Dick referred to them as sleepy DJs. Right.

You know, because it sounded like they were all doped up. You know, it's late at night. Ron St. John. Coming up next on WROK, we got the latest from Santana. Dig it. you know. You know something that occurred to me earlier today? Your catchphrase? But we didn't have time to get to it,

and I didn't want to interrupt because it was like an important day. I now know why that dream never came true. It occurred to me that, Greg, your family has a lot of nicknames. There's Wild Bill, Uncle Dick, obviously self-explanatory, he's the uncle. But you don't have a nickname, do you? Your family has a lot of nicknames. There's Wild Bill, Uncle Dick, obviously self explanatory, he's the uncle.

But you don't have a nickname, do you? Like there's no, when we speak about you in years to come, it's just Greg Cody. You don't have like a catchy nickname. I don't, no. Have you wanted one? Like what will Gracelyn refer to you when she's in her 40s, talking about my old,

you know, like are you gonna be Wild Greg or something? No I can't be Wild Greg it's Wild Bill. Yeah it's Wild Bill. I would go pop she would call me pop. No your family Chris. We need like an adjective. Yeah was Wild Bill Wild Bill when Bill was with us? Yeah. Who gave Bill that nickname? I did. Are you the assigner of all nicknames in the family? I'm the commissioner of nicknames. Wow, Hitchcock. Can you hand that down to someone or no? Or does that go with you? I'll hold auditions. Really? Really? Yeah. Because you don't just give that away. Yeah. It's an honor. You have to earn it. Does it have to stay in the family? Because like maybe, look, I don't know, I don't want to just

be appointing it, but I feel like there's someone that would love to toss his hat in there. I feel like Yeti would love that responsibility. He is part of the family. I think so too. I think he probably would, yeah. Is Yeti in the will? Not yet. Not Yeti.

Not Yeti! Oh, John Scalue! Woo! You surprise me still sometimes. Well, come up with a nickname for me. Who's got a good nickname for me? All right, so look, should we turn this into like an audience thing?

Like, why don't you tweet at us, at Levitard Show, at Greg Cody, at what's your show's? The Greg Cody Show. At the Greg Cody Show, like just Greg's nickname, what it should be, and then maybe from there you can get like a good one and then pick one. Not Lobo Greg, but I feel like the Lobos are synonymous with Greg.

They are. Lobo Greg is not the worst I've heard though. You'll get better from the audience. What's the worst you've heard? You don't want to know. You don't want to know. Wow, a new wrinkle. I like it. Take us home, Dad.

I got nothing. I'm out of material.
