Chapter 1: What awkward interaction did Dan have before the show?

00:24 - 00:40 Dan Le Batard

I had a very awkward interaction with Tony before the show where he sort of delighted in starting to tell me that he has applied for a new job. And I was both confused by his enthusiasm and wondering about his judgment as well.

0

00:40 - 00:48 Tony

Well, no, no, but I told you, I prefaced it by saying it's a side gig. It's not going to take me away from here, but it's something that's very exciting and something that I hope somebody in here can help me with.

0

00:48 - 01:10 Dan Le Batard

All right, we'll get to it in a second. I was just confused by all of it. Also confusing, the way the last segment ended, I feel like Jessica applied some of the fairest criticism ever applied at this show when she asked aloud, why did Billy get choked there with as annoying as Mike was for the last hour of our show? And she's totally right about that.

0

Chapter 2: Why was Mike Ryan criticized in the last segment?

01:10 - 01:17 Dan Le Batard

It's inarguable that Mike Ryan should have been choked out John Cena style during the last hour.

0

01:17 - 01:33 Mike

You're trying to open the door back out? No, I'm not. No, don't do it, man. I do not want it open anymore. If you're talking about John Cena. No, thank you. Thank you for all of your work. You reference the STFU. Okay. Which is like an STF, only he adds the U at the end to make it seem like he's saying FU.

0

01:33 - 01:40 Dan Le Batard

Okay, thank you for all of that. Now, his original finisher was the FU, but then they changed it to the Attitude Adjustment. Come on, Mike. Mike, please stop.

0

01:41 - 01:43 Billy

Why? Because it's like TVPG or something?

0

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

Right. Billy, Mark? Mark?

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

I'm just out of curiosity to kill the cat.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

So he can bring back the FU. Listen to me, Billy. Let's play the FIU montage. Give me some sweetener here. Billy, over the weekend, evidently did some more calling of FIU baseball. Let's just get to as much of that sound as we can, please.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

You know what they say, Corey? Numbers sometimes lie. Sometimes lie.

00:00 - 00:00 Corey Brooks

I always go numbers never lie, except when they do.

Chapter 3: How does Billy Gill approach broadcasting differently?

03:47 - 03:55 Corey Brooks

I take that back. Now who's the one who's out here slinging mud? I didn't mean that. Right into the glow of Castellano for the first out. Here's Fred. Sorry, Khaled.

0

03:55 - 04:07 Billy

That's worse than what I said. Yeah, if you're listening, Khaled, I'm sorry. Any games with Solana yet? Quite a few. Yeah? How's that been? Great. Who do you like more, me or him? Very different broadcasters. Oh. Very different.

0

04:07 - 04:30 Corey Brooks

In what sense? Solana, obviously having his role with the Miami Heat and Preheat, wants to bring a very analytical approach to the game. Yeah. Whereas you and I are, well, the first word in ESPN is entertainment. And that's a little more the bent that you bring to the table. Wow.

0

04:31 - 04:54 Billy

OK, well. I promise you that for the next game, I'm bringing you nothing but analytics. I look forward to that. You will not. My urologist is not a fan of my high-protein diet. They've said less burgers, less steak, please. That's tough. Yeah. But you want to beat the Stones. That's what you got to do. Kidney Stones.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Corey Brooks

The Rolling Stones come for us all. Oh.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Yeah. Rolling Stone catches no moss, Corey. I don't know if you knew that. That's why you're quicker than me. Billy? There's a lot of context missing in a lot of those clips, if I'm going to be honest with you. Billy? We also got into a whole Adam and Eve situation. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. I don't know. It didn't make the cut. Billy? Yeah.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

As a broadcaster, you are brave. Thank you. There is no one occupying the lane of purposely awkward and perfect pacing for baseball where you're even slower than the game on how you're doing a podcast during the play-by-play.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Listen, respectfully, and he's a Hall of Famer, baseball moved way too fast for Dave Van Horn. That guy was slow, okay? Yes. That has nothing to do with this, and I don't know why I'm taking shots at Dave Van Horn, DVH, here at the end. Hall of Famer. He is a Hall of Famer. I said that on the front end, Hall of Famer, but yeah.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessica

Like Greg.

Chapter 4: What is the controversy between Kyle Seeloff and the show?

08:46 - 08:58 Billy

That's what Stugatz is doing. Cody does those sports, too. So that's not what I was doing. I go there dressed in a polo shirt. I go there wearing pants. That's how I go.

0

08:58 - 09:15 Dan Le Batard

Mike, why do you keep pointing at the television? Also, I called Corey Cody for some reason. Dude, I need a vacation. First take I saw has on first take. I saw Orlovsky's back after that emotional goodbye to the network two weeks ago. And I saw that Ochocinco's on there. Is that the first time he's on there? Finally, Shannon Sharp has gotten him on there, too?

0

09:15 - 09:37 Mike

love for club Shay Shay yeah they were just talking about John Cena's heel turn and they were showing very graphic images of Cody Rhodes laying in a pool of his own blood not since the Bay of Pigs have I seen a Massachusetts man leave a Cuban man hung out to die he's right about that Cody is in the other room again Cody what what thoughts do you have from the other room from the penalty box Cody Cody is here

0

09:37 - 09:47 Dan Le Batard

Now, I want to talk to Greg Cody. Billy, Mark needs a vacation. And I've got a couple of other things that I need to go to. But, Greg, what do you have from the other room? I'm being told that you have something.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Greg Cote

Greg Cody Rhodes. No, I don't. I'm still mesmerized by Billy's performance on the air. It's unlike any other I've heard when he's broadcasting FIU baseball. I think what you need, though, you need to pipe in a little fake crowd noise because it's very, very quiet.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

It needed something. It needed some perfection.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

production it needed some help that's fine we well we'll take note i mean during the game you hear the sounds you hear the birds you hear the ambience you hear everything going i like that you're slowing it down that you're slow hey world slow down billy gill billy gill's broadcasting and not every silence has to be filled with someone's yammering someone's gas bag well this also you should know is on espn plus so it's video so it's different and when when we would do you know the marlin spring training games which by the way i if

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Full disclosure, doesn't seem like it's going to happen again because Well, because Kyle got a promotion, and now he's the TV guy, and then guess what happens? Yeah, I love Kyle, too, except Kyle got what he needed out of us, and now he's moved on to television. Not even a call, not a text, nothing from Kyle. That's how it happens.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessica

We're here to talk about Chris Cody's wife like that.

Chapter 5: Why does Billy choose off-brand medication?

14:06 - 14:28 Billy

I was like, I think I'm going to need to stop and get something because I have this cough that's coming on. And she said, okay, but make sure... that you buy the name brand because I know you. You usually go and buy the generic one. Just don't do that. Buy the name brand. Buy a Mucinex and then you'll actually get better. Don't buy the off-brand medicine.

0

14:29 - 14:45 Billy

And I bought the off-band medicine because it's $5 cheaper. I'm not a sucker. It's the same thing. Exactly right. Why am I going to go and buy Robitussin when I can just buy Waltussin or Tussin? I'm not going to pay five extra dollars because I want a Nike swoosh on my medicine. Get out of here.

0

14:45 - 15:00 Dan Le Batard

It's the same exact thing. Put it on the poll, please. I'm no health expert, but people seem sicker. Yes or no? At Levitard Show. I think sicknesses are lasting a little longer. I think everybody's got a little bit more of a cold than they used to.

0

15:00 - 15:14 Dan Le Batard

to have, it seems like we're walking around all of us just a little bit sicker, but Billy's here on behalf of Brand Products to tell you here's $5 that you can save on if you're sicker, this might make you feel better, the savings, not necessarily the medicine.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

It's exactly the same. If I'm going to be sick, I'd rather be sick with $5 in my pocket than giving you an extra $5 just because. Here's where my conflict was this morning, and I don't know why we're talking about this. Here's where my conflict was this morning.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

This would be entirely your fault.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

This says maximum strength. And I don't feel like I need like I could get average strength. If average strength was something that they sold on medicine, I could just do. I didn't realize until. No, I didn't notice right now that it said maximum strength. I was trying to avoid that because I was like, I feel a little under the weather, but not maximum under the weather.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

So I don't want to over medicate.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessica

You take half of a dose.

Chapter 6: How does liquid gel medication compare to tablets?

17:29 - 17:34 Billy

And then fast acting. That's why liquid gels are now the most popular choice.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. I want to responsibly speak to you about my favorite time, Miller time. Look, a lot of things are coming back in the season. MLS is back. P's and C's in the MLB. You know who puts the ML in those sports? Miller Lite. That's right. From basketball to hockey to game night, winter means more moments with the coolest people in your life.

Chapter 7: Why did Billy have to throw away Heinz ketchup?

23:54 - 24:04 Dan Le Batard

Yes. But but I believe the disdain on your face for judging him a Hall of Famer. You're the one to mention it most recently that he's not a Hall of Famer.

0

24:04 - 24:07 Jessica

No, I said he was. I said Hall of Famer like Greg.

0

24:07 - 24:09 Mike

And I was the loudest.

0

24:09 - 24:20 Dan Le Batard

Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. It's getting more and more popular with the legend and Hall of Famer Greg Cody. What do you have to promote on this front?

0

00:00 - 00:00 Greg Cote

Well, this is our big fifth anniversary show. Our first show ever was March 2nd, 2020. We're five years old. We're celebrating by revealing the top 100 countdown of all time greatest guests. And it's been fun. It's been controversial. People are eating it up. We're doing good traffic, unusually good traffic.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

Billy, why are you laughing at that? There's a big fight around here because everyone thinks they're ranked too low. There are big fights in-house about who should be ranked higher. Oh, no, I don't care. Well, you might not care, but it's not everyone else. Izzy was thrilled with his ranking. Jeremy was furious with his.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

You're allowed not to care, and other people are allowed to have feelings that are not just yours.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

I learned I was on this show through this countdown.

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

Okay, that's great.

Chapter 8: Is Greg Cody considered a Hall of Famer?

27:34 - 27:35 Dan Le Batard

Uncle Schmick didn't make it, Dan.

0

27:35 - 27:39 Billy

Well, ask him also. Dan, I don't know if you remember this, but he teased it last time.

0

27:39 - 27:43 Dan Le Batard

No, no. Let's actively play defense against the good things. Let's do that. Okay.

0

27:44 - 27:46 Jessica

The Heat should have tried playing defense last night.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Greg Cote

That's a good point.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessica

Or down 20? 19-point lead.

00:00 - 00:00 Greg Cote

Blow it. That team blows some leads, doesn't it?

00:00 - 00:00 Dan Le Batard

If they protected all of their double-digit leads, they'd be second in the conference in like 25 games over 500. They can't score late.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

Who do we blame for this?
