Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries. If they're just there, that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it.

And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Yes, sir! Chris, Cody, I don't know how you guys feel about the folks like Ethan or, for example, Jason, the director Jason.

He has suggested that this not be a shirt Tuesday. He has suggested that because Mike Ryan is jealous of Billy Gill's Wild Willy Wednesdays, that Mike Ryan should have his own branding on Mondays. And Jason came to me today, he's never done this before, and said, I have my own branding. Can you put that up somewhere, Jason? Can you put that up so that Mike can see that we now have mild, mild Mike Ryan Mondays or whatever it is that your branding was for this segment? Not that, not the hockey show. Yes, everyone's an idea man now.

Yeah, we'll get back to that in a second. It looks good. There it is. There it is. It's a bit of beef jerky of some sort. And it's mild Mike Monday. And this was Jason's idea, everybody. Jason's idea. I see what they're going for with that sauce packet. I won't say the name of the company.

How are you liking that, Mike? We all know what company he's going for there. Is that the branding you want? Mike, Jason was working on it all weekend. I don't like it. Okay, so we won't do that. Billy doesn't like Wild Wednesday. We can't win around here. He approached me after the last Wild Willie Wednesday. He's like, hey, I know they were joking about it, but I'd really like to do this for you. I'm like, no, thanks.

I'm good. Above and beyond. He did it anyway. Yeah. He's like, nope. So I don't get mine. Like manic Mike Monday would be something. I don't want a day but mild my like why I'm good. I think is he's trying to go the opposite of wacky. I'm just like I'm good. I don't need a day Thank you cut to Jason take all right take three today's a good day to listen to me take it off Just take it down, please Thank you. It's growing on me, so you will get back at some point to mild Mike Monday, but right clear it It's show me you guys haven't been listening today clear it right now. It's shirt Tuesday Greg Cody I want to just marvel at Roy you guys did understand you guys saw

That in the second clip that we played Roy never stopped talking, and you heard not one single word that he said. Roy was trying to broadcast through the delirium, and, Roy, did you get a word off that anyone heard? A word. I don't think I heard myself. It was so loud in there.

Okay, but that... So what got achieved there? Probably nothing. Ha! You get ambience... Okay, but that so what got achieved there probably nothing You get ambient the ambiance of the The place that we're in is the day flamingo formerly known as casatiki Thank you for housing us for the live stream, but it was loud It was I just could not hear myself talk right that's where you got to lay out the great broadcasters Let the crowd tell the story right all of a sudden you hear the roar of the crowd

to lay out the great broadcasters let the crowd tell the story right all the sudden you hear the roar of the crowd once it simmers down all the sudden Brad Marchand scores. I'm no doc Umrich so yeah you're right. But how does this work though has Casa Tiki or the dead flamingo ever had quite this much hockey in its bones? No I don't think so but I was watching videos I don't think I've ever seen so much ass being thrown. The place was electric. There was a a lot of the ass be there's nothing like the dead flamingo on a Friday me Wait a minute ass was being thrown. Yeah, Roy was throwing ass. I thought that the path is took ass. That's what's that We've covered this on mystery crate Roy doesn't wear a wedding ring. So it's

Confusing out here sometimes for the ladies wear wear a wedding ring? It was stolen. That's what he says. How long ago? The wedding day. But you should see him out in the wild. When did you get married? I don't know, in 2014? We've done this story before on the show and on Mystery Crate, but

we can rehash. You can't go get another one. It's only one. Only one. I'm with you, Roy. I feel you, dog. 15 years. Yeah, you don't need it? Yeah, that's true. I don't need it.

Yeah, that is absolutely true. I bring that up to don't need it. Yeah, that's true, I don't need it. You don't need it. I bring that up to say sometimes on a Friday night when Roy's out, people get confused. He start throwing it. Chris, just so that you understand, okay, even though the story's been told by Roy twice, to some it might be a new story that he had his wedding ring stolen on his wedding day,

perhaps not to just be skipped right past because it does make us wanna ask follow-up questions, right, like on your wedding day. I'm guessing you immediately get in trouble with your wife. No, no, because her ring got stolen as well. And my ring got stolen. Apparently I was followed home and she was followed home the day before, the night before the wedding

and somebody broke into our car. Because we were all at this wedding and if you guys all remember, it took a while to start. And it was because they were looking for rings. It's a horrible story. It really is. Like truly horrible. Awful.

And he's been married for like nine years. It's like, I'm not gonna, I just, it got stolen nine years ago. It's kind of beautiful in a way. It's like the material things not gonna, I just, eh. It got stolen nine years ago. It's kind of beautiful, in a way. It's like, it's, the material things of the world don't matter. They got married and I don't know what they used in substitute for a ring,

but it could be a really beautiful story. That's why you don't replace it, because nothing matters to their relationship other than them, Roy. I'm fighting for you, baby, because you're in a bad way. Oh, come on, man. I'm fighting for you, baby. Well, I did go to the Walmart next to Heart Rock Stadium

and bought a replacement ring for real, real cheap. It's where you go. Okay, that just hurt my heart. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. No, I don't wanna be classist about this. I love it. I don't wanna be elitist about this, okay? But when I just don't think Walmart with engagement rings,

and I may have this wrong, this may be just, I haven't been in Walmart in a while, so I don't know what their jewelry situation is. You ask like a cashier, like, where are your wedding rings at? Yeah, that's exactly what I did. So forgive me, do I have this wrong when I ask the question legitimately of, if your wedding day has your wedding ring stolen

and then you have to go to Walmart to get replaced? That's good luck they say. That sentence is good luck? That sentence I just said is good luck. Well I've been married for 10 years so. Happy anniversary Roy. Oh thank you. So she wears a ring but you don't.

Correct, I've asked her, hey, maybe I should get a wedding band, you know, maybe. I asked her just like three or four times in 10 years. I'm like, no, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I don't wear a wedding ring. What's the big deal about a wedding ring? I need a reminder that I'm married.

And you're fighting them off too though. It's the public show of your taking. His narcissism runs so deep on love. He thinks the ring is the reminder that he's in love. I mean why do you wear a wedding ring? I'm asking all my fellow married people out there. Because you're taken, you're not available. My wife really likes it. On Friday at Casa Tiki or at the Dead Flamingo. My wife really likes it. When ass is being launched to my trapeze across the floor, yeah. Yeah.

It is a little reminder. If ass gets launched, you catch the ass, and then you feel something. Not only do you feel the ass that you caught, but you feel a little ring that says, hey, why'd you throw that ass back? I'd like to know again whether Latin hockey is now a thing in the depths of dade was south florida

when roy can't be heard because at a club i associate at a place i associate with latin the place is paying enough attention to what would normally be a soccer game to hockey for me not to be able to hear walter crank i'd over here delivering the news. Woo! Yeah! Take it, John! No! Oh my god! John! John!

John! John! John! John! John! John! John! John!

John! John! John! John! John! John! John! John!

John! John! John! John! John! John! I love that Cynthia, like 40 seconds in there, just like gives a Roy like, Roy, something good happened. Wake up. Metal Arc Media, somebody I'm imploring you, stop Ethan now. If you guys let this keep going, if you let this keep going, it won't get better. It won't get better when he's around microphones.

Roy is trying to speak and I can't hear him. But Ethan mics work fine. And that's exactly where our show gets torn apart, soap opera style, because the third voice comes for the first voice and it gets cutthroat. I've heard Ethan's opinions on hockey more than anyone here.

God almighty. God almighty does Ethan want his opinions heard on hockey. I gotta defend Ethan. In that moment, you want chaos. You want screaming. Like you don't want just laying out your ass. I gotta defend Ethan. In that moment, you want chaos. You want screaming. Like you don't want just laying out. I was trying to broadcast and Roy was, I couldn't hear Roy.

You couldn't hear Roy. At one point I hear, game two, I hear Roy say at one point. Anyway, moving on to other things. I've moved too far away from Greg Cody's feud with White Hat. It's the most attention I've gotten from him in about six months

does he wants to go right back at white hat because it allows him to promote his podcast and delve into his every narcissism because he's got a feud and this hockey final has felt less good than the last one when he inserted himself in the middle of the final with mcdavid is overrated yes so he's holding on to the embers of this particular feud to broadcast to to embers of this particular feud to broadcast, to promote your podcast,

your feud with White Hat, that I was told by Chris, I would find disappointing. That I would find your feud with White Hat to have died a little bit on your podcast. I would say that because Dan, you know Dan, he likes to, when he gets people like, hey, you guys were you know they both said things That's a good point Greg. There was a lot of yeah, I see your side of it type stuff look look

They were cowards the the what chaos podcast they were cowards by not inviting me on to defend myself So being the bigger man, I invited white hat on to my podcast in the episode that dropped today And we had a conversation, you know, we had a conversation I think at one point he did reluctantly apologize for having called me senile I mean you also praised Conor Mcdavid so you guys were both kind of like I see your side a little bit I praise Conor Mcdavid like I always do as a prerequisite for saying but he's still Mcover rated and will be until he wins A Stanley Cup has he won the Stanley Cup yet? No, I don't think so. It's 1-1.

It's so great. Him being defiantly stubborn on, well my points not wrong yet. No it isn't. As a matter of fact, he's writer and writer with every step he takes closer to not winning again. Now, had they lost the other night and they're down 2-0, I might not be quite as loud on the subject today to be perfectly correct. The one thing I do wanna play from this was our promo video that we put out. I guess Yeti did this without,

this was good job by Yeti without even talking to me. He had my dad, hey, go in the garage, do some promo talk. I'm gonna put together a thing. So I wanna play our promo video for White Hat versus seen how old man. And I want you to tell me how many beers my dad's had. That guy, I think. He wanted to have this guy on the show or White Hat versus Senile Old Man. And I want you to tell me how many beers my dad's had. That kind of thing. If you wanted to have this guy on the show,

and respectfully, That kind of thing. I would have put two forks through my eyeballs. Pete Blackburn, it is time to dance to the music. You went on your podcast and called me a senile old man. But he's a senile old man. Okay, you know what? Because you didn't have the nerve to have me

on your podcast to respond to that. I would have put forks in my eyeballs and spoons straight through my ears. So here's what happened. I demanded that you be on my podcast to dance to the music. Dance to the music. Dance to the music. And that's happening when we drop Monday morning.

Will you apologize? I doubt it, but let's find out. Great job by Yeti. Yeah, good job. Your tongue is pretty heavy. That was great. That part's great. Blackburn I am I am

Mortified mortified by the shape of your garage what the area you're prowling It's a brick back there. So disgusting. I know the door it could use a paint job No, you guys door the paint is in coming off that door. No that door has looked like that for 30 years That's a door? Yeah. David Dore. Royce Dore. Yeah, if you have to explain it.

If you have to explain it, David Dore Royce. No, it can't be. You have to explain it. It is a bad door. Greg, how are you not embarrassed by this? Chris, how many beers had he had when he did this promo? I don't know. Why would he even say that?

Was I slurring my words? A little bit, yeah. Your tongue was heavy. That got a big. All right, let's watch this again, this wrestling promo. This is the height of it. It doesn't get better than this. But just, no, look at the whole garage.

Do me this favor, okay? Try not to be distracted by his bloated, drunk face and his just general narcissism. He's not denying it. He just sat back and took that accusation. Did he have you do that yesterday afternoon? Greg, how many beers? Ah, how many beers? My man! How many beers here?

I can't remember. I don't keep track. All right. What about my wife? I wanted to have this guy on the show, and respectfully, that kind of thing. I would have put two forks through my eyeballs. Pete Blackburn, it is time to dance to the music.

You went on your podcast and called me a senile old man. But he's a senile old man. Okay, you know what? Cause you didn't have the nerve to have me on your podcast to respond to that. I would have put forks in my eyeballs and spoons straight through my ears. So here's what happened.

I demanded that you be on my podcast to dance to the music. Dance to the music. And that's happening when we drop Monday morning. Will you apologize? I doubt it, but let's find out. Blackburn singing in the dead of night. That part made me laugh out loud.

That door looks like it's out of the original Saw movie. I was thinking the same thing. That is a place where people are tortured and die horrible deaths nothing but suffering till the very end His face is terrifying when he says that kind of thing Happening there is haunting Connor McDavid's dad should be Fearful that that cometh his way. This is my dad in a nutshell. It's a horrific looking door And then wild Bill Cody's cane. That's right.

Paying homage to his father right above him. I want you guys to enjoy the celebration. There it is, Cody and all his power. Seven beers in on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty good guess. Seven, eight beers in, that door. Tell me it's not out of the movie Saw. Can you show me or play for me any of the podcasts, Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody,

his feud with the white hat? I just can't still get over the fact that Greg, while being accused of being a see now old man earlier this week, started this episode talking about a colonoscopy. I just, I still can't get over that. I'm not pandering to anybody. You know, I'm talking about what goes on in my life. The photos of Mike colon. Okay, we don't need to get into it You look you need to put those in a frame in the Lou. That's how wonderful my colon is How many polyps I had as many polyps as McDavid has Stanley Cups

Don't mean to rub that in, white hat. You just kept calling him white hat the whole episode. I couldn't remember his name. You think the joke is so good about having as many championships as you have polyps that you should make it? Yeah, it's a good line. It's good. Yeah, it's really good. It's strong. Strong line. Yeah, it's strong. That number is three.

I mean, you know, most people have a couple of polyps, to be honest with you. I'm 70-year-old man. Do you know that? I have a beautiful colon. I'm gonna take your word for it. Yeah, I had as many polyps as McDavid has Stanley Cups. It's a fact jack right there. Finally.

Oh, you actually got it right. Good job. Thank you. Thanks, Roy. But have you guys talked about redoing the door? Like has there been a conversation about redoing that door? No, there hasn't. I know, I like it.

Like it would be weird, this ambiance. It's a garage for a man to be manly in there. It looks, in the picture of him, he looks like a deranged cassowary and it makes me so happy. Thank you. Look at that man. I think. Fees?

Oh no. Damn, damn, damn. Stugats. I disowned him. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here dishing out limp dap? This is the Don LeBathard Show with the Stugats. I want to get back to, for a moment here here because of how much I enjoyed the weekend just sports

being maximum sports and specifically what tennis does at its best because there are no teammates in tennis after five hours no one's coming to help you you're in a historic match and it's got you know you're in what you're in the middle of and I can tell you the stories back to heavyweight fighting George Foreman Muhammad Ali All of sports leadership throughout time will tell you that the other person wants to quit too The your that the test of wills that is five hours in, you're tired, but you want something just as badly as they do, it stops being physical, becomes some sort of mental

meditative state, and I would assume the very best of the best, love it there. Love it there. We've just been talking about the theater, but there are some people in our audience that are hearing about this match and how good it was via our show. And we must tell the audience

that Sinner had triple match point three hours into this match. And Alcaraz battled all the way back. In fact, after Alcaraz won in the fifth set, there was a graphic that said, time since Yannick Sinner's triple match point. Like this was an incredible comeback. I understand both people want to quit.

One very clearly wanted to quit less and that was Alcaraz. Except the thing about it that was so impressive and enjoyable to me is they're both incredible champions that fought back because normally in a situation like that, you get like a collapse. There were times, so once Alcaraz fought all the way back and took control of that match, Sinners limping around grabbing for cramps, but then retakes the match and we're like, damn, Alcaraz did all this and he's not going to win.

Then Alcaraz takes it all the way back and Sinners fights back. That's the mental toughness that I was speaking of that's so incredibly impressive. And then it also was made even more enjoyable because the clash of styles like centers, a giant smashing server power tennis player. And Alcares is this ridiculous. He has power, too. But he's this ridiculous athlete that's twisting the ball on these absurd angles and gets to everything.

It's just so fun watching what looks like a wildfire versus a snowstorm and you don't know who's gonna win and that's the part to me that got that just got me so like entranced by this game or this match. I have to say I have to give a shout out to Coco Golf though I mean we're talking about the men's match and rightfully so it was a marathon it was epic Coco Golf who's from around here, lives about 90 miles north of here in Delray Beach. She just won her second major at age 21. She can be what we've been missing since Serena Williams retired. She can be that. I'm not saying she will be, but this is not a false alarm. Coco Golf is that good. She just beat the world's number

one player. It was two one versus two matchups this weekend, not just the men. Yeah and golf I think she was she's been on the scene since she was about 14 or 15 years old and I think we had expectations of her being as good as Serena. And again I hate to keep harping on this mentality stuff but particularly in these individual sports for someone that young to deal with the level of disappointment and frustration that she's dealt with. And we've seen other athletes and tennis players specifically not be able to deal with it.

For her to still be around and not have reached this Serena level and still be competitive and in a match like yesterday or the day before where the wind is blowing, it's a tough situation and it essentially broke Sabaleca, she still fought through. I wanted though to address what you're saying there, expected to be Serena, like that needs to stop. We shouldn't do that to anybody.

You really shouldn't do that to anybody. To anybody. It's an unreachable standard. And it hurts WTA. It really does. That can't be it. We're going to go ahead and concede, yes, that's the most powerful force I've ever seen

in that sport, totally changed changed it in terms of it becoming a power game because it's not like sabalankan not playing power as a strong but but i think today's stories going to be instead of about golf overcoming that strength sabalankan sore loser and and so now a a woman's match that pales to the men's match only because the males man that was epic for all time yet probably the second-greatest what happens is cocoa golf winning gets lost in that yet can't even sort can't get even get out of the tech tennis ticket of being celebrated the way that it should be for someone who can never and will never be serena no matter how

much she wins because that ain't fair to do to anybody but but to make clear when i say she can be the next serena i don't mean i'm not counting majors i don't mean she can win fifteen twenty majors what i mean is i think she has a chance to fill the vacuum and become the acknowledged face of american women's tennis i think she has that and and you know she does have it already i don't know you know Keys I mean there's a couple of other women who are in the top ten it's pretty clear it's Coco and what was so cool about the the French Open just on both sides was you had finals one versus two yeah and you know in each side which on clay it's

such a variable that is hard to predict and there are so many specialists you don't typically get that and to have one versus two meet the meet in the final in both sides and also for those matches to deliver it was a great weekend for the sport I also thought Turner knocked it out of the park with as a first-time rights holder they were fantastic. I think it was a huge victory for golf and the reason is that she won the 23 US Open so it's going on two years now. When you win one major and you don't win a second one for a couple of

years, even though it's just a couple of years, maybe some doubts creep in. So the fact that she won that second major I think is huge. And Sabalenka was on incredible form. She was absolutely mowing through people, winning tournament after tournament. So for Coco to stand in front of that and take Sabalenka's best shot and make Sabalenka seem like a sore loser, which is also changing the narrative. Remember the Olympic moment that Coco Goff had where she kind of gave off sore losers.

So for her to come out of that and put the shoe on the other foot and for Sabalenka to have this moment, honestly, it's a little disappointing because I think both are great. It was big for tennis too, not just golf. Oh yeah. I mentioned golf. No, no, no. Sorry. It wasn't you.

It was a great golf weekend as well. Canadian Open. Was it? I want to get back to Coco Golf here, explaining that this trophy is a little small. It's a bit like a water bottle uh... it is yet i don't have this wrong right that at it as tennis took over sports for a day or tried to around what basketball was doing last night you had an epic men's match uh... out one that you remember because it's just stretching it stretching your day out your morning out and then you've got cocoa golf winning a trophy where she ends up being the,

is she gonna be the fourth story because Sabalenka's sore loser talk is something that people are gonna turn into the story of her winning this tiny water bottle trophy. Hi, I just went French open or rolling arrows and this is the trophy that you guys see, the one that we take pictures with, do press with and all that.

But actually we don't get to take this home. This stays with the tournament. And I'm going to show you guys the one we take home. It's a lot smaller. So this is the one we take home. It's like a mini replica of the trophy. And yeah, I guess to compare it, it's really small.

So reference, this is a Peri-Kate bottle. This is a cup. That's how small it is. But, you know, it's the memories that matter the most. French oba not liking that. Is it the memories that matter most or do you want some good hardware there? Like how much is that? I think it's prize pool money.

That matters the most. Not only is it small, but it just it sounded flimsy the way it like opened it sounded like but do we know very little about perhaps fine fine Merchandise like this is it possible that this is very well made and worth thousands of dollars It should be should it not it didn't sound like it sound like ten I mean, I'm sure it's pretty valuable because they only give out one every year for each side so it's probably pretty valuable. It's not something I think you would, well I guess to put it in a trophy closet it's perfect.

I bet you guys could look it up and find out what that is actually worth because I'm going to guess it's worth thousands of dollars. You guys think it's aluminum or made of tin you think it's $99 You think you buy it in the same jewelry place that you buy your Walmart engagement stuff out of gift shop You think it's you think that's 99 99 99 I can get that trophy if I go if I just go go to Amazon right next to the oversized tennis ball Does Walmart have a jewelry? Yes.. I never knew that. You sound classist. I already apologized for this. Where were you when I... Well, you also brought it back to it, Dan.

It's in the middle of the store right behind the registries. Okay. I was in a Walmart yesterday for the first time in years. Didn't even consider that you could buy a ring there. That's crazy. Were you not here when we just discussed this? Did you discuss that Walmart has a jewelry crazy. Were you not here when we just discussed this? Did you discuss that Walmart has a jewelry store? Were you not here? No, I don't remember that being discussed. Sure Tuesday.

I mean, old white hat there was onto something. I don't remember that being discussed. Maybe I was doing show research. Sometimes I do. Sometimes when you say, Greg, quit typing, it's loud. I'm doing show research. But he sometimes when you when you say Greg quit typing it's loud I'm doing show research but he's a senile old man okay really only two minutes for not listening replay replay when that was discussed I remember him saying that he bought his ring in a Walmart I said I'm

going to sound classist and elitist here. I was not aware that they sold engagement rings at Walmart. I said that's not the same thing. That's not the same thing as asking whether or not they have a jewelry department. You can sell a ring without having an entire department. Did you not hear the penalty? No, I hadn't heard that either.

Minor penalty, two minutes for not listening. It's true. You know what? I accept that penalty because I wasn't listening. Well, thank you. Oh, thank you. Thank you for being kind enough to accept the penalty. The uh... I don't agree with this one I get.

The shirt looks great though, buddy. The small replica trophy is made of pure silver. Thank you. So, um, at 14 kilograms of silver, you take the market market price in this is all courtesy of artificial intelligence by the way So may not be right raw material value of around 11 to 14 thousand dollars if that is indeed pure. That's not true The men take home a similar size trophy, right? Like I think that's the only way that it would be that it would offend me as if somehow they said Typically although anal did receive

a full-size replica in 2017 after winning his 10th, a unique honor. Okay, yeah, that's fine. You gotta get 10. I'll allow it. Thank you for allowing it, Chris. I will tell you guys that I got scared there, that all of a sudden, because I don't know

the value or weight of gold or silver, that I have from last week, a scar on me from thinking that a million dollars worth of gold would weight down a car so much that it couldn't move and then you guys told me, nah, it's about nine pounds worth of gold. When it came to silver, I was scared that you were about to say, no, it's made of pure silver

and you can get it for $12 because whatever. I don't know that Nadal's is that size though. You're telling me, like you're saying, I know he got the real one. Nadal for his 10th. One time. He got a full size replica. The mail trophy has to be the same size, does it not?

Yes. Were you crossing your fingers, Chris? For us, for all mankind. In terms of being a much smaller replica, yes, that's a case for the men's. Am I an asshole for, and is Greg an asshole for not knowing that Walmart had a jewelry department? I think.

It just shows that you guys don't step into Walmart. I mean, it's not a new thing. I feel like Kmart had a jewelry department when I was a kid. The same sort of stores always had a jewelry department. Walgreens. Yeah, I'm not sure that I would. Service merchandise.

Ah, service merchandise. Sears. Mervins. We're in agreement. Cal doors. That it is a horror story beyond horror stories to have on your wedding day a robbery that steals the ring and then forces you to go to Walmart or anywhere

in an emergency to have a part of your wedding day be trying to retrieve something that was stolen from you so that you can have a memory of the day that doesn't feel taken by somebody. Yeah, my mom blamed me for it. Going to Walmart just feels rushed. It's not that I'm judging going to Walmart. In that spot, if a ring is stolen,

this is a big purchase. All right, we're gonna slow down here. We're gonna take a beat. We're gonna get married, and we'll get a ring a later date. Hopefully it was insured, but I might be alone in this and understanding that at that moment, it feels terrible, but I kinda think it's a cool story overall. And at the end, it's like, when you have this different ring,

you're like, hey, let me tell you how this happened. It's much more exciting than my wedding ring, wedding day story. They just were there and I put them on. My turn. Pretty boring. Being a victim is exciting, yeah. You guys are putting a good face on it.

Being a victim is romantic and beautiful sometimes. Dominique did say earlier, it's beautiful. I think victim is romantic and beautiful sometimes. Dominique did say earlier it's beautiful. I think it is. It is memorable. I will give you memorable. Like if it were a ring that like stood out was unique in its quality and people are like, hey, it sparks a story.

Like why does Roy have a lime green plastic ring? Well, let me tell you Princess Claire about the day me and your mother got married. It was a tough, a heroin story, but now. I left my car unlocked. 10 years later, we're still together, and that's all that matters. But if a wedding ring is indeed a symbol for love

and nothing more, the idea that you would have the intimate and violation of having it stolen when symbolically it meant something to you as a gift to your wife that was forever, to have it immediately stolen, symbolically. Not beautiful. I think it's beautiful. We can agree to disagree. We can find, I mean, to each their own, I guess.

It's human. I think it's beautiful. Greg returns breathless from his penalty with his books in tow and his publicity in tow. The Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody. I thought you were going to say featuring. Featuring Greg Cody. Thank you.

Yeah, there you go. Featuring Greg Cody. We have more sound from his beef that went polite with white hat. seems like we're stealing the all all the material and not giving anybody any reason to go check out his bottle there's plenty more in their believe me don't have another clip we had the promo wrestling video is hammered and we had the one that he's going to have a really that he's had no i wasn't ever i'd i'd play along and you know when people say things like that the one i

need to argue uh... i wasn't hammered Okay the NBA finals last night corrected themselves and I would have said after how amazing game one was that I Would assume that what will happen after that is the same thing that happened when Allen Iverson stepped over Tyronn Lou To beat the Lakers in Los Angeles a million years ago and then lost in five games. Because yeah, I think that's what's going to happen here, but what a charming thing that Indiana did in game one. I think it's what most people expect to happen.

But when Indiana wins game one and wins that way, it makes it at least a more interesting series. It's the best possible result you could have gotten in game one. And then it corrects itself because OKC never loses two in a row. They always do that. They haven't lost two in a row since like 2023.

Wow. That defense is asphyxiating. Halliburton and everyone on that team. I remember watching the game last night and feeling like Siakam was having a good game. And then he hit a bunch of free throws, but then I looked at the box score afterwards, and was like, he was three for 11. He was the most productive, it felt like,

or effective like play creator who was getting into the paint, and he himself was getting destroyed. Well, I wanna ask you guys how you feel about when you're watching Playing for the Championship. We've talked so much. Shea Gilder's Alexander is not going to work for the storylines you want on narratives when the markets are 25 and 47.

How am I going to sell to the American people, hey, you know how this thing wins? It chokes you out. It just chokes you out. Your offense will be extinguished because they've got athletes and like, look, I don't, you know, I don't know how to measure what Lou Dort does, but you're going to go three for 11 if you're Siakam and it's no knock on Siakam. Dortcher chamber.

What I'm saying, like, how do we sell that as next phase for the league? Nobody was doing that on narrative when they tried. I think game one did plenty to sell this series to the American people. And I, I, I do kind of think that looking at the ratings or arguing about the ratings is relatively lame. And I know it's a crutch for people that don't watch a series because I used it for Buck

Suns when I did not watch that series or care about it and I just pointed the ratings as affirmation. See, I'm not the only person that doesn't care about this, but it doesn't matter. The landscape of television ratings has changed so much That you just kind of got it totally disregard that I worry about ratings when the broadcast When the broadcasters and league worry about ratings exactly and the same point to like ratings are for dorks Who cares about the ratings are does the ratings change how the basketball is being played? No, it's the billionaires that own the companies like damn the ratings are down. What is it?

What do I give a shit about that? I saw great ball, okay? If you're not watching for the ball, what are you doing? You're watching for the ratings? What are you, a dork? I'm talking about some ball day. You're worse than talking about ratings is talking about people who talk about ratings.

That's what I'm saying, but I had to make my point known. It was already made. Do you like ratings talk? I don't like ratings talk. Okay, just making sure. I wanna talk some dork. But he's telling you, give him some ball. He doesn't want some.

Give him some ball. Give me some wiggins. Excellent. So what do the Pacers do better than anybody else in the league? But he's telling you, give him some ball. He doesn't want some. Give him some ball. Give me some Wiggins. So what do the Pacers do better than anybody else in the league? Except for Oklahoma City. I'm not here to take a quiz. Exactly right. They come back.

Well said. Not only do they come back, they use their bench great. You can look at 8, 9, 10, 11 guys on that Pacer team. Be like, they can score. They can do their things. Who does it better? Oklahoma City. They finally showed it yesterday.

Aaron Wiggins with 19 points Caruso with 20 points you have all these scores that come out of nowhere and fill these roles and then you have SGA who's just Efficient and quietly putting up 35 points a game where it's like, okay This is really easy when you pair that with the best defense in NBA history I know he had the moment game one, but it seems as though Halliburton against his defense is having a really Game one, but it seems as though Halliburton against his defense is having a really difficult time. What the hell, they broke it, dude. Two games in, and it may be too much to overcome.

That being said, they did steal one on the road. That's all you're gonna do is steal one. Yeah, and like Zazz mentioned on Friday, no matter what, they're gonna have a game where we can level this thing up, two-two, back home at the very least. Halliburton didn't even play that well in game one. I think he had like 15 points.

He just happened to hit the game winner. But I will say Gilgis Alexander to me is a what was that? Him too. A breath of fresh air. He's a breath of fresh air. I love his game. I love that the MVP is a mid-range jumper guy who gets to the foul line. We're not always talking about threes, draining threes. He doesn't care that much about threes. Wonderful. Good for the NBA. Very good for the NBA because he's different than the usual star. Disagree on all counts, including how you said his name.

Okay. You don't like that somebody who has a mid-range jumper can win an MVP in the modern NBA? I don't like the free throw stuff as much. Free throws and defense don't excite me. Well, you're spoiled. You're used to something else. I mean, I think the pushback,

so the SGA stuff is really fun because it's unique. I think that's also why we find yoke is particularly fun because it's unique. It's not something that we've become accustomed to. But I think that we are trying to pretend like we're some level of ball lovers that we're not. When we don't, when we're not honest about the best shit to watch is somebody slashing and banging and doing exciting stuff that

we grew up falling in love with. We can pretend that STA is something we love, which, no, not pretend, STA is something we love, but you cannot lie to me and tell me that you wouldn't rather see Minnesota go off in that situation. Well, of course, when you watch Anthony Edwards and the way he plays you're like oh yeah that's it right there. That's what the MVP should look like. But then SGA goes for 38 on 11 of 10 shooting or 10 of 11 shooting. You're like oh that's fine. Put it on the poll please Juju at LeBotard show. Are ratings for dorks is it about knowing and speaking ball? Lou Dort I know his name is not

actually Lou but that is the least imposing name that has ever had a dorcher chamber. Should go by his full name, Lou Gens. Lou Dort doesn't work for me as imposing defense. Is it Dort or is it Lou? It's the Lou that it's, the Lou. The Dort for me. Yeah, it's Dort.

One syllable, just Lou Dort. Is it the two, is it the two syllables? There's something about Lou Dort that doesn't work as a Dortcher chamber device. I feel like it's the or in it. That's like it's not. It's I think it's the whole two syllables of the thing. You think so?

It's yeah. Lou Dort. I think it's those specific syllables because I feel like you could hit somebody with something sharp. If you had sharper syllables, it's just that it's like Lou. The best in the door. The baseball player Ed Ott. Is it as funny? Ed Ott? No see it's because it's sharper it's Ed Ott. It feels it's punchy. You know but one syllable Lou Dort we're in agreement right that Lou

Dort doesn't give off intimidation but we are disagreeing about the fact that we're not going to know how to cover a team that just strangles you to death like how how is that storylines in drama? How's that next face of the league stuff? I mean when they have the MVP it goes beyond just that. Right. Why are we afraid of... They also score a lot of...
