54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: But Mikey I am wondering here because he had set

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: that bar so high as a great not a good

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: executive producer, a great executive producer. Are you worried about

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: living up to those expectations.

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna come strong out of the game, okay,

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: and it's you are. I'll tell you this. It starts

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: with the open. See now, Dan, we got Greene. Okay,

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: he worked with That's easy to get, all right. He

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: went and got Greeny and they did this whole thing me.

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: And by the way, we should thank green We should

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: thank Greene for voicing the stupid of the open. I

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: always said that after the open, the show went downhill

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: from there. The best part of our show was always

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the open, because Greeney lent his voice of credibility to

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the ridiculousness that happens here. And by the way, speaking

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: of ridiculousness, Greg Cody's gonna interview me about my time

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: at ESPN, Well, that is episode one.

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: If the show went downhill after the Greenee open, I

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: present to you you cliff, okay, because we're careening off

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: this cliff because I'm not sure how we do this?

74
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so are you maintainting that? So, just so I

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: want to be clear here the open that you put

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: together because we can no longer use the Grenny open,

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: did you put together in your mind? Now you've heard it,

78
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: I have not in your mind. Is this a better

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: open than the one stands It created or a worse

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: open than the one stands At created.

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: I think this is so far better than the OpenD

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: his was wow, his.

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Words for high brow people.

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: It was green using big words, transcendent I went a

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: lot more, uh sewer, I went. I went and got

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: a lot of celebrities, or one celebrity to a voice

87
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: like a lot of celebrities and just say absolutely ridiculous

88
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: things about.

89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: You, Okay, and the audience is gonna know exactly who

Speaker 1: here of Stupotody. So you're gonna play it for me

94
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: to make sure I like it and to make sure

95
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: it exceeds the expectations that Stanzi is set here within

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: this podcast. So let me hear this open, and then

97
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: we'll decide if you've done a better job thus far

00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: than dancing. Listen, I'm telling you you're off the bad start.

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,640

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,920

Speaker 2: calls anymore.

103
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,599

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880

128
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,160

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: in the open up Stupidity Today that he did not.

130
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: I told him he could. But we'll just do it

131
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: for him, all right, Frank Kelly said, Frank, I just

132
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,440

135
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: Greg Cody's going to join us in just a second.

136
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: We're sitting here discussing whether Mikey A is going to

137
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: do a better out that Dan Stanzick. He did on

138
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: the Open, which I didn't think was possible because I

139
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: thought the greedy Open was the greatest thing about this podcast.

140
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: But mikey A has already eclipsed that. Uh, but not

141
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: so much on the guest front, because Stanzick was an

142
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: excellent guest booker, and mikey A is to the first

143
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: episode of a new Stupodody Mikey A. I have telling

144
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: you we have had a who's who, We've had Tom

145
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Brady on this podcast. Stanzik booked him. Mikey A book

146
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Greg Cody, I, holy shit, what are we doing?

147
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Much like much like the Open, my whole tenure with

148
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: Stupotoity is all downhill from here.

149
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: It's all just a clip. You heard the open. That's

150
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the best I can offer you. And now it's Greg Cody,

151
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sure I'll get you Billy Gill at some point.

152
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic. The reason we're having Greg Cody on

153
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: mikey A. Just so where everyone's clear, okay, and this

154
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: interview will be bought to you by the Greg Cody

155
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: Podcast featuring Greg Cody. Okay, why Freida, because we could

156
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,280

Speaker 1: I'm gonna start reporting on you and your life so

163
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: you can see how it feels. Okay, media writer who

00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: knows more about my life than I do. Okay, I

165
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,400

169
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: be at ESPN for another day, Like you can't control

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: the message because Marshaan is eighteen steps ahead of me

171
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and my own life. I mean, it's unbelievable. So anyway,

172

Speaker 1: a part of it, but it's not officially a part

186
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: of the Levatard and Friends podcast network, is it.

187
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: No, it is not, although I get some of the

188
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: residual benefits from it. This week the Greg Cody Show

189
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 5: podcast is actually number eighty eight nationally, which for me

190
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: is pretty excellent, top one, ebscellent.

191
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Yes, that's uh. There was a moment there where you

192
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: were top top five, top ten, right.

193
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, fleetingly that was when my son was fired, So

194
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 5: that was good for business. My son being fired by

195
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: ESPN was great for business, albeit temporarily, so I can't complain.

196
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: Was there a small part of you when you saw

197
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: yourself a number five or number six, wherever the hell

198
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: it was, that said to yourself, Hey, you know what,

199
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: Chris getting fired, that's such a bad thing.

200
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 5: Well, I won't go that far, but I will admit

201
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: that I took a screenshot of the rankings that had

202
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 5: me in the top five because I knew that that

203
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: would be a one and on. You know, the next

204
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: time my podcast is going to be in the top

205
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 5: five is when I pass away and posthumously Christopher's doing

206
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 5: the eulogy on the podcast. Then I think I have

207
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 5: a shot.

208
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: You taking the screenshot of you top five because your

209
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: son got fired. Are like the people that take a

210
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: picture of their kids when they're in the hospital and

211
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: they just came out of surgery.

212
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: Yes, that's absolutely right here, he is in is low moment.

213
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why.

214
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 5: Right here, Christopher just out of knee surgery, and I

215
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 5: went one step further. I seriously, I asked Christopher to

216
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 5: have that photo of my top five ranking frame for me.

217
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: But I think he was so annoyed by so at

218
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: his lowest moment. Let me get this straight. At his

219
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: lowest moment is absolute lowest moment. You celebrated, okay, by

220
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: taking a screenshot of your podcast that got to the

221
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: top five on the heels of your son being fired.

222
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: And then you also asked him what did you ask

223
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: him to do?

224
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: I asked him to frame the photograph of me being

225
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: in the top five, and he was a little annoyed

226
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: by that. I have no idea what a photograph and

227
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 5: you just stepping all over him. Jesus, Well, you know,

228
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 5: I do the best I can. You know, Stu, there's

229
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 5: no there's no guide for parenting.

230
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: You know, he just played by, could you put it

231
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: by side of a picture him crying or something when

232
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: he gets the phone call from ESPN.

233
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 5: You know, I wish I had that.

234
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I didn't think of that in the photo album, right, yeah, exactly,

235
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: little collage exactly all right? So he's recovered. He's recovered,

236
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: so we're good, all right. So Greg, what are we

237
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: going to do here? People have been reaching out, these media,

238
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: these media writers have been reaching out trying to get

239
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: a hold of me. They want to interview me. Every

240
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: radio show in America. They're doing the same with Dan.

241
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I just figured we control our own messaging now, So

242
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: why I give it to them when I could give

243
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: it to me? Exactly? Yes, right, and I could give

244
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: it to you. I promote your podcast and you and

245
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: I will do a little home at home here because

246
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: I have agreed that if you do this for me,

247
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: I will come on the Greg Cody Podcast featuring Greg Cody,

248
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: which is the greatest name in podcast history. What is

249
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: the exact name, by the way.

250
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 5: It's called the Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody. And

251
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 5: I remember I told Dan I was thinking about several

252
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: different names, and I ran that one by Dan. It

253
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 5: was we were This was just before the pandemic hit,

254
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 5: just before the super Bowl, and Dan and I were

255
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 5: riding near the super Bowl site in a car and

256
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: he was saying, what are you gonna name your podcast?

257
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: And I told him, I'm thinking.

258
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 5: About the Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody, and he

259
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 5: laughed out loud, and that was enough. If that's funny

260
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: to him, then I figured it was it was good enough. Yeah, right,

261
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 5: I had a one man focus group. I figured Levatard

262
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 5: usually makes good decisions.

263
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: So I apologize, guys, I lost my heads. Uhions, yes exactly.

265
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: I'll let Greg take us through the interview here. It's

266
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: it's been an odd week. It's been a fun week

267
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: and exhilarating week. We have felt the love from our

268
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: audience in a way that I'm not certain we have

269
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: felt in twenty years of doing this, but we have. Certainly, Greg,

270
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: you've been You've been right there with us for a while,

271
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: plusure friendly with both of us. We always knew we

272
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: had a very loyal audience, a strong audience, a big audience.

273
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: We have not felt you felt it as well, Greg,

274
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: your son has felt it. Yes, the loyalty of this audience.

275
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm not certain there's there's a radio audience, maybe Howard

276
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: Stearns that feels the way that our audience feels about

277
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: this show. And you know, and I'm not certain there's

278
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: a show that feels the way that we feel about

279
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: an audience quite like our show. It is truly they

280
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: are part of it, We are a part of them.

281
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: And I'm certain that you have felt that over the

282
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: last week, right, I totally have.

283
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I've seen it just in the fact that

284
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 5: I just went on cameo okay and all it's It's

285
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 5: been mentioned on the show, and that's all. I haven't

286
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 5: tweeted about it, I haven't put it on my social media,

287
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 5: I haven't talked about it in my podcast. But because

288
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: of the mentions on the show, you know, I have

289
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 5: a parade of two hundred cameo requests now out of nowhere,

290
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 5: and it's overwhelming to me. And these are you know,

291
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 5: I'm a bit part of the show. I'm on once

292
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 5: a week, but because of the residual power of the

293
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: Dan Levittard Show with Stuve Gotts, me as a bit

294
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: player has his own little pissant stardom and it's just

295
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: it's overwhelming to me. I'm so grateful to the fans

296
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: of that show. I really am.

297
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we all are. It's an incredible thing. And

298
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: so Greg, I would not discount how big of a

299
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: part of the show you have become. I saw an

300
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: article where the eight things You're going to miss about

301
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: the Dan Levotard Show with Steg Gotts on ESPN Radio

302
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: and Greg Cody Tuesdays was right at the top. You'll

303
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: become beloved not just locally here in Miami, but by

304
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: a national audience who has fallen in love with this

305
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: radio show simply because we're ourselves. That's it. There is

306
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: no mystery to how our shows succeed. We just turn

307
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: on mics. We may talk sports, we may not. But

308
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: what we do is we're ourselves. Were the closest versions

309
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: of ourselves as you could be while having a live

310
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: micing cameras in your faces, but we show We show

311
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: our warts, we show our emotion, We have fun, we laugh,

312
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: We talk sports, but we talk about some other stuff

313
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: as well.

314
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 5: We're family exactly, Stutt. I do want to ask you,

315
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 5: as we sort.

316
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: Of say good by in your episode here, Greg, you

317
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: mentioned the great give and take relationship with the fans,

318
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: and it's amazing to me as well. And I wonder

319
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: when did it first occur to you that there was

320
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: something special going on? Was it a did it take

321
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: them us Miami events where you were one on one

322
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: with fans to get that feeling, like, when was the

323
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: first time you maybe you and Dan said to each other, man,

324
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: this is unbelieved, this is beyond what we ever heard. Yeah,

325
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: so I could tell you from a ratings standpoint the

326
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: first time that I felt it, and I'll get and

327
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I'll and I'll answer your question more directly in a second.

328
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: The first time I felt it from a rating standpoint,

329
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Greg was about three years into doing the show on

330
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: seven ninety the ticket down here in Miami. Greg, as

331
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, we were a new show. People were mocking us.

332
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: We weren't doing sports radio the conventional way. Dan wanted

333
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: to be different. We set out to be different, and

334
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: obviously it is paid off in an enormous way for

335
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: us just being a bit different, because you don't have

336
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: to do much to stand out in our industry. Because

337
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: many of these shows, and I say this respectfully, they

338
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: sound the same. I'm not certain if I were left

339
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: to my own devices, I wouldn't be doing what Mike

340
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: Greenberg is doing, or I wouldn't be doing what other people.

341
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: They're all very talented people, but doing radio is hard.

342
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: It's really hard, and Dan and I were not terribly

343
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: confident in what we were doing. At the beginning, not

344
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: because of the ratings, just because of a feeling, just

345
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: the feeling right. And in fact, I will tell you

346
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: the first year was not very good because I was

347
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: driving the show and it was like a three hour

348
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: interview of Dan every single day. So three years in, though,

349
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: and then we switched up and Dan drove the show.

350
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: It was his topics. It was we hired Mark Kackman

351
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: as executive producer, one of his best friends, who knew

352
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: Dan's what he was into, what he was interested in,

353
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: his musical taste and all that stuff, and that really

354
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: and then Hawk got Dan into the number one seat,

355
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: got me into the number two seat. I got very

356
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: comfortable with that. That way, I didn't have to guess

357
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: what Dan wanted to talk about. Dan was just talking

358
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: about the things that he wanted to talk about, and

359
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I was left to just react. So about three years

360
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: in I got an arbitrom book. And ratings are done

361
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: differently now, but back then you would get a book

362
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: every three months and they would mail it to you,

363
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: and normally we were coming in fourteen or fifteen, and

364
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: when I got the book, I was just conditioned to

365
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: go to the middle of the pack to see where

366
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: we were, and we weren't there, and so you would

367
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: think I would go, oh, maybe we cracked the top

368
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: ten for the I did it. I went and see.

369
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: I went the other way and I went sixteen seventeen, eighteen,

370
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty, didn't see us, twenty one, didn't see us,

371
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: started to get nervous, twenty three twenty, didn't see us.

372
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you know what did we not rate? Like?

373
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: Are we that bad? Are we that bad? So then

374
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: I went down the other way, just for good, just

375
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: please be in the top ten somewhere. I got to five,

376
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: not there, four three two. We were number one, met

377
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: twenty five to fifty four, and I was the GM

378
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: at the station at the time, so it was like

379
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: a dream come true type stuff fell out of my chair.

380
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Was super excited for me and Dan, super excited for

381
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: our radio station that was a startup because we had

382
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: the number one show in the marketman twenty five to

383
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: fifty four. It was then that I knew Dan and

384
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: I were doing good radio. It was not until a

385
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: little bit later before the Moss Miami events Greg even

386
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: before ESPN, where Dan and I did a local appearance

387
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: at like a quarterdeck I think, Greg, you were there.

388
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: It was the one in plant but it's the one

389
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: by your house in Daviyer Plantation, right. And we did

390
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: a night in honor of Dave Wanstat. Oh yes, and

391
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: we had menu items. It was called and we named

392
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: we changed the name of the restaurant to Wanta mcstashes,

393
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I think, and we had menu items named after Dave Wantstadt.

394
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: But like you know local radio appearances, both of you,

395
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: Greg and Mikeyya, you both know local radio appearances. You

396
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: got like six people who show up, they take a

397
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: picture with you, and they leave. Dan and I got

398
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: to this quarterdeck Greg, there were like four or five

399
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: hundred people there. I mean they could not fit they

400
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: could not fit that amount of people in. And it

401
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: was right then and there and then we continue to

402
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: do events. It was right then and there that Dan

403
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: and I realized the gravity just how big in a

404
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: local market to get four to five hundred people to

405
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: show up to a promotion. We knew right then and there,

406
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Holy hell, we have a massive audience here. And it

407
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: was just in Miami. And then you go to ESPN

408
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: and obviously it's expanded enormous.

409
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: I want to circle back to what you said earlier

410
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 5: about how early on the rolls flipped where all of

411
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: a sudden you're in the second chair and Dan is

412
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 5: driving the show. Was there any ego involved there where

413
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: you had to really convince yourself that, hey, I'm not

414
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 5: being demoted this.

415
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: I know like It's interesting because the original lineup in

416
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: that station had Dan doing the show by himself and

417
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: me doing my own midday show, and Dan was not

418
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: comfortable doing his own show. The guy he wanted to

419
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: do the show with, as you know, Greg was boot

420
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Shambi and Boo can do the show at the time

421
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: because he was working at the competing radio station, and

422
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: Book suggested me to Dan. And Dan and Book are

423
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: very tight. So Dan called me and said, hey, I

424
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: need you to do afternon Drive with This is a

425
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: week before the station's launching. Need you do afternon Drive

426
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: with me? I said, well, I'm doing Middays. He said, well,

427
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: if you want me to do an afternoons, you ain't

428
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: doing middays anymore because I ain't doing it by myself.

429
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: And so I found the new midday show and what

430
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: to do it with Dan. The reason I drove the

431
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: show at the beginning was Dan really had no radio experience,

432
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: and so he just he needed someone for the ins

433
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: and outs and all that stuff. But to answer your question,

434
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: we knew what we were doing. I know radio well

435
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: enough to know that what we were doing at the

436
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: beginning was bad. Greg. It just Dan and I didn't

437
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: know each other that well, and so I was interviewing Danny,

438
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: guessing as to what it is he wanted to talk about.

439
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: And Dan will tell stories of him riding around in

440
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: his community on a bike in the middle of the night,

441
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: which I mean, it seems it seems out at the time,

442
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: but now that I know Dan, totally see Dan riding

443
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: around on a bicycle in the middle of the night,

444
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: two in the morning, trying to figure out how do

445
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: we get this radio show right? And he couldn't figure

446
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: it out, and so we I remember because he was

447
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: tight with Boog, and I was close with Boog. Boom

448
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: connected us, and I think Boog, for my money, knows

449
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: as much about radio as anyone in our industry. Book

450
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: could be a talk show host, just as he's the

451
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: Greg as you know as being in the play by

452
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: play voice of the Chicago Cubs. And congratulations to Boog,

453
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm getting that job. But books out us down and said, listen,

454
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: Dan's got to drive the show. It's a Dan Levatard show. Winsteguts,

455
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: He's got to drive the show, drive the topics and

456
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: just let stew react. The reason book suggested putting us

457
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: together is because we're so opposite that he thought it

458
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: would be good to get the two viewpoints right to

459
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: two different viewpoints. Dan nuanced, smart, well spoken, me kind

460
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: of caveman who just wants to drag everything back to sports.

461
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: And so, No, to answer your question, there was There

462
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: was really no ego involved. I knew very well who

463
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: wanted to sitting next to. I knew very well where

464
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: this show could potentially go, and how talented he was.

465
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: There's a reason I would start that station without Dan

466
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: Levatard in the afternoons because I thought he was that

467
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: good and so for him to want me to sit

468
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: next to him. No, there was no ego. I just

469
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: knew I had to respond to whatever it is that

470
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Dan was talking about, and I can tell you the

471
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: first second we made that change, Greg, the first second

472
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: it felt better for me, and whatever ego went into

473
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: it quickly evaporated because I knew what we were doing

474
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: quickly became very very good.

475
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 5: Chemistry is something in radio that everybody covets.

476
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: Its gold.

477
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 5: It can't be contrived or faked. What is chemist on air?

478
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 5: Chemistry to you? And how long did it take you

479
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 5: and Dan to really become what you became in terms

480
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 5: of just chemistry and being a team, a cohesive team.

481
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: So it's funny because one of and you know this

482
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: with him, he doesn't believe in some of that. You know,

483
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: I guess quote unquote bs in sports chemistry and all

484
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: that stuff I changed in my chemistry because he has

485
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: seen it with our show. There is something to working

486
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: together for a long time, knowing what the other person

487
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: wants to talk about, no wing the cadences, knowing when

488
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: Dan's gonna stop, knowing when I'm gonna stop talking and

489
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: Dan needs to pick it up. All that stuff is chemistry, right, Yes,

490
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: And Dan's a perfectionist as you know what it come

491
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: to that radio. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he absolutely is,

492
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: to his credit because you and I don't give a

493
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: shit if a segment gets botched, it gets botched and

494
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: we move on with our day. It will sit with

495
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Dan for hours.

496
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 5: Oh we've seen the perfectionists in him off air, where

497
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 5: he's analyzing what just went right or didn't go right.

498
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 5: It's amazing to experience.

499
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: So Greg, just do right now, just quickly on that

500
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: the chemistry. I kind of knew it very quickly after

501
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Dan took over driving the show. It's just everything felt

502
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: better to us right. It was just the right combination,

503
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: the right way to do this. And here's the thing

504
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: that we were afforded, and I hope that program directors

505
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: across the country listened to this. We were afforded the

506
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: time to create that chemistry. Meaning I was running the

507
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: radio station, and lord knows, I wasn't firing myself and

508
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't firing Dan. So we had we had nearly

509
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: two years, three years to kind of form that chemistry.

510
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: And I would tell every PD with any new show

511
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: that you have to give it a year or two

512
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: to breathe and let the people find their footing and

513
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: form that chemistry, because once you have it, you'll latch

514
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: onto it with everything you have. It is the single

515
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: most important thing you could have in our industry is

516
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: to have that chemistry. And Dan and I it took

517
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: us a minute, but we were afforded the opportunity and

518
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the time to get it, and once we had it,

519
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: it was a magical You and.

520
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 5: The show are in the great limbo period right now,

521
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 5: past ESPN, not yet to what's next. There's uncertainty, there's anticipation.

522
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel right now? I feel great, I do.

523
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: I am so grateful for my time at ESPN, and

524
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: I know Dan is as well. But I'll be honest

525
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: with you, Greg, I got into this to be in radio.

526
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: I never, ever, in my wildest dreams, thought that I

527
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: would spend a single day at ESPN. I got to

528
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: spend over eight years at ESPN. I got to walk

529
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: my daughters on the set of Baseball Tonight. This stuff

530
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: has meaning to me, it really does. I got to

531
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: fill in first take, I got to fill in and

532
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: host Mike and Mike with Mike Greenberg and Mike Golling.

533
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: I became. I got to be on college game Day

534
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: as the celebrity. And thank you to j Loo for canceling.

535
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: That was a big I got to do things that

536
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: I grew up watching that never in my wildest dreams

537
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: that I think that I would be a part of,

538
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: and I pinched myself every single day. I'm truly grateful

539
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: to them for lending us their platform. I couldn't believe

540
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: a show like Hours made it all the way to ESPN.

541
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: I just I couldn't believe it. But there we were,

542
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: and it was a fantastic eight years and those platforms

543
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: were important, some of the most important platforms that we

544
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: have in media, in sports media, and to be able

545
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: to have one of those, a couple of those for

546
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: as long as we did, I know Dan and I

547
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: are both extremely grateful to them for their time and

548
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: to their credit, they brought us in and asked us

549
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: to kind of mix it up a little bit, and

550
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: they never really messed with our show. I think we

551
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: just arrived at the point where Dan and I felt

552
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: like and maybe they felt like they wanted to go

553
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: in a different direction. We wanted to go in a

554
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: different direction because this audience. I think the one thing

555
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: Greg that Dan and I to answer kind of how

556
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: we're feeling. We feel loved. It's been overwhelming, but we

557
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: feel loved both by ESPN and we feel I don't

558
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: think we've ever felt more loved than we do right

559
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: now by our audience, and the love from ESPN is fantastic.

560
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: The love we're getting from people we worked with, people

561
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: we worked for. We appreciate it greatly. But the love

562
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: we want, the love we cove, it is the love

563
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: that we get from our audience. And So to answer

564
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: your question, I sit here on a Friday. I will

565
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: do this podcast with you. I will go on my

566
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: merry way. I will do some cameos. Yes, I will

567
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: make a lot of money on cameo. I will go

568
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: play golf today. I don't have a show to do today.

569
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: I feel free, I feel loved, and I feel very,

570
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: very grateful for the eight years I got to spend

571
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: at the worldwide leader at sports. I feel great today.

572
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,920

00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 5: and twenty in the Q it's I'm finding it a

586
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: little overwhelming. I don't want to complain because people are

587
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 5: paying me money to say, hey, happy birthday, but it's

588
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 5: a little it's a little more overwhelming than I thought

589
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: it would be.

590
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: It is well listen for me. So you know, after today,

591

Speaker 1: I'm off and then we have all weekend and I

592
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: have one week to respond to get these back to

593
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: these people. And you know me, when there's money sitting

594
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: there for me and it's for the taking, I'm gonna

595
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: get these done. It might kill me, but I'm done.

596
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: But I want to take my time and try to

597
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: do these and do them correctly. So I've only done two,

598
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: not because of laziness, because all Dan and I have

00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 5: of have a journalism hat on right now. No, I

660
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,520

661
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 5: if you want me to go there, but I think

662
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 5: fans are wondering about it. Okay, listen, the show enters

663
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: into what Dan calls free agency. There's an assumption by fans,

664
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 5: a hope by fans. I'm sure that the whole gang

665
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: stays together, moves on as one, but there's a wild

666
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 5: card in that, and I think I'm talking to him.

667
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 5: What if free agent Stugotts gets approached separately? With an

668
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 5: intriguing opportunity.

669
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that is a that's an interesting Yeah. Why

670
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: are you you look very impressed? Greg Cody has fucking

671
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: cornered me. Man, I'm taking it. What do you mean,

672
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: Mike yay? Why are you making his face? Because that

673
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: was Greg Cody is an accomplished journalist. Do you not

674
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: think he was gonna be good at this? I wasn't.

675
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 5: Hasn't answered the question yet.

676
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: You also hold on, Greg, you noticed what I also.

677
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 5: Knows hasn't quite answered the question.

678
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: I also noticed. This is what I know about you

679
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: that if I say this episode of STUPONDI is brought

680
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: to you by the Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody,

681
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: you might forget that you asked that question. It might

682
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: just go away. You never know. You never know to

683
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: answer your question. We are free agents. My belief is

684
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: we're all gonna stick together. I've had so many it's

685
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: been overwhelming, the amount of people who have reached out

686
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: to me and my agent. Uh seperated to Dam but

687
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: they have reached out twofold. I'm certain this has happened

688
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: to Dan as well. They have reached out in regards

689
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: to us as a whole. And then I'm certain Dan

690
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: has had his own you know, keep individuals reach out

691
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: and see what he wants to do as an individual duel,

692
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: and I've had the same thing with my agent, and

693
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: so it would take Listen, I am in such a

694
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: good place with Dan. I love doing this show so much.

695
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: I love Mike and Billy and Roy and Chris and

696
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: Tony and I hope I'm not leaving anyone out. Please

697
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: don't let me leave anyone out, Greg, Roy, everyone. I

698
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: love those guys so much. We've been doing this for

699
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: twenty years that it would have to be the absolute

700
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: like I would have to be like Sunday Night Football

701
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: without Michael's for me not to want to continue what

702
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: it is we're doing it. Now that I'm actually saying

703
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: that to you, Greg, I could probably pull off doing

704
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: both of those. And that was ever offerend to me. Whoah,

705
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: But no, Listen, Dan and I have arrived at such

706
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: a great place in our relationship from a from a

707
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: respect standpoint and a friendship standpoint, and we've been doing

708
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: it so long and we love doing it still as

709
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: much as we've ever loved doing it that it would

710
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: take the exact right offer for me to even consider it,

711
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: and I can tell you that that has not happened yet,

712
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: but I have had a lot, a lot of interest,

713
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: and that's been flattering to me, super flattering to me,

714
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: because when you stand next to Dan, for as long

715
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: as I've been next to Dan, you always wonder is.

716
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 6: There Because he's such a great personality, such a massive personality,

717
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 6: maybe the best sports journalist we have in the country

718
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 6: right now, Dan Lebatar, you always wonder to yourself, is

719
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 6: there any interest in me?

720
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: Or they only interested in me because I'm standing next

721
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: to that guy. And what I've been pleasantly surprised to

722
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: see is there is actual interest in me separate from Dan.

723
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: But I love doing this thing with Dan too much. Greg,

724
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: you see us there doing it, You know how much

725
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: fun this thing is not just for me, for Dan,

726
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: but for the entire crew. I don't want to give

727
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: that up. Man. Fun is fun, and chemistry is chemistry.

728
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: And I just said, when you have it, you'll latch

729
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: onto it with everything you have, and we have it,

730
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: you know.

731
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally. I mean, it's like a great marriage where

732
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 5: you know, the wife finishes the husband's sentence for him,

733
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 5: because that's how well you know each other and the

734
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 5: chemistry is and can't be faked.

735
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: Yes, And I don't know if I want to, and

736
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: to be honest, to start that over again from scratch

737
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: would be something that I don't know if I'm truly

738
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: interested in at this point. And I will tell you

739
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: this there, Greg, you saw it with your own son.

740
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: If there is a more or loyal person in this

741
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: bit to me, because I am telling you right now,

742
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: there is it. Dan is as loyal as it gets

743
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: and so there is a level of safety and protection

744
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: I have just standing next to him because I know

745
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: he's never going to do anything to f me, and

746
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: that is usually important. And I say this because I

747
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: know this industry so well. In an industry of backstabbing weasels,

748
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: I work with a guy who's the furthest thing from it,

749
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: and I value that very very much.

750
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 5: Dan's loyalty is the pinnacle of his integrity. And believe me,

751
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 5: I've seen it the way he treated Christopher after he

752
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 5: was fired, and he wouldn't stand for it, and that

753
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 5: meant the world to me and my family, that's for sure.

754
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, I can't say enough. Now. I want to

755
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 5: ask you, Ques, you can't speak.

756
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: By the way Greg, I was very, very impressed.

757
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 5: You can't speak for Dan, but yet you know him

758
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 5: better than anybody on earth. Probably, I want to ask.

759
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 5: He's in his early fifties now, Okay, when the ESPN

760
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 5: ride ends, he could have decided, you know what, I've

761
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 5: worked my ass off for too long. I'm going to retire.

762
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 5: I'm just not going to keep doing this. Do you

763
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 5: think part of his motivation is that he wants to

764
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 5: prove that there is life beyond ESPN, that he can

765
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 5: move on from the world Wide Leader and become his

766
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 5: own world wide leader.

767
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: How much motivation do you think there is in that? Okay,

768
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: so for him to it's a great question. Just to

769
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: be clear, Dan could retire right now and never work

770
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: another day in his life. Anyone who knows him very

771
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: well knows that's the case. Okay, Greg knows him very well.

772
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: I know him very well. If Dan doesn't want to work.

773
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: If Dan didn't want to work, Dan's good. That's the

774
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: luxury of making smart decisions of not getting married, not

775
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: having kids, and not having any overhead and making a

776
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: lot of money in the process. Yes, and Mike, yeah,

777
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: he's fringing right now. But Greg, Greg does exactly Greg.

778
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: Imagine making all the money you've made and not having

779
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: kids and a wife to support all the way I mean,

780
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.

781
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 5: Plus he's got no nephews who are waiting for their inheritance.

782
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: I mean it's great. I mean all this cameo money

783
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make today is going straight into my children's

784
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: Sady's a count I there you go. Doesn't gonna make

785
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: So Dan could retire right now. Is there a part

786
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: of him that is motivated to the show. He spent

787
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: eight years telling everyone don't leave VESPN, you become less

788
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: relevant what you do. But he also would point out

789
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: that only a handful of people have been able to

790
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: pull it off successfully. Bill Simmons was one, Dan Patrick

791
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: has been another. I believe will be one of those.

792
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: Not because of any sort of arrogance that we have,

793
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: It's because the audience is amazing. So I do believe

794
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: that there is a part of Dan that would like

795
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: to show, hey, this show can succeed outside of the

796
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: ES umbrella. This is a part of me, to be honest,

797
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: that wants to prove to ourselves that we can exist

798
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: outside of that espn umbrella. I am certain there is

799
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of that and Dan and a little

800
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: motivation there. But I am telling you because Greg you

801
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: said it on the front end. I know I have

802
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: spent more time with Dan over the last twenty years

803
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: than anyone in his life. I've spent more time with

804
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: him than I had with my wife, with my family.

805
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: I've spent more time with him than his mom has,

806
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: than his dad has, than anyone has. I am telling

807
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: you what motives us is the audience. The audience loves

808
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: this so much. They don't want it to go away,

809
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: and we're not ready to let it go away. And

810
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: we don't want to disappoint them, And if anything, we

811
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: want to prove to them that we can exist outside

812
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: of the ESPN umbrella. But I think they know that

813
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: because they know how vast they are, they know how

814
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: supportive they are, they know how big they are, and

815
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: they know they will bully us and carry us. It's funny.

816
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: On like social media, the reaction has been like, guys, like,

817
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: you're cranking out so much content this week, It's okay

818
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: take an advertiser like we're good, Like we're not good

819
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: to you a sellouts, But you know Dan and how

820
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: he is with some of this stuff. I think we're

821
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: strictly motivated Greg by two things. We want to continue

822
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: to do this thing because we truly love doing this thing,

823
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: and we don't want to let our audience down because

824
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: they're not ready for this thing to go away. And

825
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: that's what motivates us every day. We love doing it

826
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: and we want to do it for them. And perhaps

827
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: a little ESPN motivation as well, But that's good thing.

828
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. If ESPN's push it is, you know.

829
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 5: Sure makes you a human being to try to show

830
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 5: your former boss, hey, goodbye, we loved you, but we've

831
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 5: moved on without you.

832
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, hey, thank you and thank you because I

833
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: don't the audience was big before it got there, it

834
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: is massive now. And the beautiful thing about our audience

835
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: is we give the appearance, you know, you don't get

836
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: the show and all that that it's like this tiny,

837
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: little like faction of people who actually get the show,

838
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: when in reality, Dan and I know, and I think

839
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: the audience is deep being on to this. You don't suggest, Yeah,

840
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: there's only a certain amount of of small, finite people

841
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: that actually get the show. It's a large, large, large crew.

842
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that gets the show. And and and we

843
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: want to continue to do that for them, and the

844
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 1: paychecks aren't bad.

845
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, exactly. Well, yeah, you mentioned Dan's loyalty to

846
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 5: people who are close to him, and some of that

847
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 5: is why you guys have had that loyalty from your listeners,

848
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 5: because it is overwhelming. I see it peripherally, you know.

849
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 5: I'm like the guy who is close to the situation

850
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 5: but able to stand back and see it independently. And

851
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 5: the loyalty of these fans of your show is astounding

852
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 5: to me, and I never take it for granted.

853
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: Your beloved Greg, they love you. They're gonna end up

854
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 1: loving mikey A in a way that he's like. Greg,

855
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: tell mikey A, He's gonna feel this in a way

856
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: that I can't even It's hard for me to even

857
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: articulate to you, because Stanzik felt it when he joins stupidity.

858
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: When you join this family, you join this family. When

859
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: we bring you into the family and accept you and

860
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: embrace you and embrace your strengths, but more so your warts.

861
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: The audience ends up ends up loving you. And I

862
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: will tell you, Greg, you've experienced it. It's easy to

863
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: be beloved by our audience because we're all standing next

864
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: to this asshole every day. Let it's art.

865
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 5: Well, you know what I really realized it is.

866
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this, but.

867
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 5: A year and a half ago or so, there was

868
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 5: a Greg Cody day at a minor league ballpark in

869
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 5: Fort Myers and I'm standing there taking selfies for hours

870
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 5: with a conga line of hundreds of people. It's not

871
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 5: because of me, it's because of my affiliation with the show.

872
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: And I never lose sight of that.

873
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 5: I realize that, and I'm so appreciative of it, and

874
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 5: and that's a wonderful thing. It's It's been such a

875
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 5: great sort of a late career boost for me in

876
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 5: every way possible. And I'm so grateful.

877
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're grateful to have you. We really are.

878
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: I'm telling you when Billy, myself, even Mike Ryan has

879
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: covered around saying Tuesday's our favorite day of the week,

880
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: it's because of you're involved. Well, because now it's like

881
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: we always equate the show to and people could certainly

882
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: relate to this now because everyone's been at home for

883
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: quite some time, where Dad's in the home office trying

884
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: to get worked on, and the kids are doing everything

885
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: they can to prevent Dad from getting his job done.

886
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: And when you're in there, it's like for one day

887
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,479
Speaker 1: a week. I have a second I have a twin

888
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: brother that could annoy the hell out of Dad. And

889
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: I love Tuesdays more than I love Tuesdays more than Saturdays.

890
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: How about that?

891
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 5: Nice?

892
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: Nice? But I think the audience the audience does as well.

893
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: They Greg, you will fit in. You'll fit in perfectly,

894
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: my friend. We love you really well.

895
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 5: I certainly appreciate it.

896
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: Now.

897
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 5: If I can get Dan to not insist on the

898
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 5: back of my day every single goddamn week, I'll be

899
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 5: a happier for it.

900
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: The only thing we ask of you, Greg is yeah,

901
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: all right, esus, But once a week.

902
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 5: Greg said, I've been doing them since twenty fourteen.

903
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: Nothing I'm coming doing weekend observations for fifteen years. I

904
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: never miss a Monday. Just do them this week again.

905
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 5: But wait, I don't want to get into an argument here,

906
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 5: but weekend observations you continue to get material because games

907
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 5: and everything are being played and people.

908
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: Are doing stupid things. Yeah.

909
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 5: Uh, you know the back of my days, I've got

910
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 5: a blank sheet every week that I have to fill

911
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 5: up with new ideas that I haven't done before.

912
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: Can we come up with a few back of my idea,

913
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: back of my day ideas for Gret Cody, the one

914
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: I keep telling to do because I would love to

915
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: just hear them blurt out marijuana or cannabis, because that's

916
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: like all different flavors and edibles and all this great.

917
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: You should do one on cannabis. I should never happened

918
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: to meeting a guy in a back alley and just

919
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: getting a dime bag of seeds. It stems I don't

920
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

921
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 5: I'm going to do that. I'm gonna do that.

922
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. Now you're walking into a bootique store.

923
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: They got flavored cannabis for you.

924
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. We were in Colorado last summer and I happened

925
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 5: to I must have taken a wrong turn. I happened

926
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 5: to wind up in one of those stores. And it

927
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 5: really is, it really is an amazing thing. I had

928
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 5: no idea what I was looking at. All of a sudden,

929
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 5: there's like cookies and candy.

930
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know where I was.

931
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,960

Speaker 5: Oh, I never had a chuncolate chip cookie like that.

935
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: So I had a friend once who he gave me

936

Speaker 1: of it, okay, And he said, don't be impatient, because

938
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: I know you're very impatient. It might take in the

939
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, ninety minutes, thirty minutes in. Of course, I

940
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: got impatient because I'm not feeling anything, So I ate

941
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: another half of the cookie one hourter. I don't remember

00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: own podcast, I don't have to do anything, but yeah, Dansick,

985
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: that mother bleeper was constantly pushing me to keep talking,

986
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: keep going, keep talking, keep going. Standing. I loved you.

987
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: Mikey has done a better job so far.

988
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 2: But when he asked you about you know, if you're

989
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: gonna go separate from Dan, you know, it made me

990
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 2: think of the line where from the Office where Dwight

991
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: is going to leave his job, and he says, uh,

992
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: when I've value most is loyalty, so or I'm gonna

993
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 2: go wherever they pay the most for loyalty. I should

994
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 2: have said that, I'm gonna you know, you're gonna you're

995
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna stay with Dan unless somebody's gonna pay you more.

996
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: I think Dan knows that though. Here's the thing, here's

997
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing. With Dan. There is no one. There's

998
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: no entity, no company, no person. And I know this, Okay,

999
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: that values mean more than Dan does, and so I

1000
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: can't put a price tag on that because the value

1001
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: I have to him is unlike the value all have

1002
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: to any other person or any other company for the

1003
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: remainder of my life and just the way my career
