Today's cast: Dan, Greg Cote, Chris, Billy, Jess, and Tony. Greg Cote is turning 70 and has a major dilemma ahead of him, but first, Stugotz is openly flirting with WFAN on the air during his contract year, and the crew can't determine what's real and what's a bit. Then, we get to Greg's Birthday Party issue: Who from the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz universe should make his guest list? Rumors are swirling as it seems like some members of today's Shipping Container may NOT be included. Will Greg expand the group? Is Earleen Cote taking advantage of paying for the party by adding her friends instead of Greg's? Will there be an open bar? Plus, we FINALLY take a deep dive into the contract dispute between the Miami Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa as QBs around the league keep getting paid with new giant contracts. SPORTS RADIO!

Chris, I don't think your father's in any way really ready for what we're presently doing. I don't think he knows the mics are on. I don't think he knows that his microphone isn't anywhere near his face right now. He is a little out of... Yeah, there it is. He's a little out of his element because he's been on vacation two weeks.
And he's in a different chair.
It's hard to get back on the bicycle here quickly once you've... Done this for a long time, and he's approaching his 70th birthday now. It's trendier now to run off old people. Trendier to be ageist. What?
Is it? It's in right now. Is it?
By who? Democratic Party.
You sound sad. Are you sad or are you sick?

Chapter 2: Who should be on Greg's birthday guest list?
You're paid for it. You think I'm writing a back in my day on vacation?
You did just say that you wrote three fresh ones for the book.
I had a deadline. I slayed the deadline. Why can't you read one of those? I mean, it's your book.
Shouldn't you have control over what is secret and what is exclusive to the book?
I signed a contract to write three book exclusive back in my days.
You signed a contract here to have a Tuesday back in my day that was sponsored. That was also a contract that you signed. Who's sponsoring them?
Hmm. Chris is on to something. Where's my money at? If Rex is sitting in the Stugas chair, he should have to do weekend observations, not back in my day. That's a good point. So I'm excited for that segment later.
Give them to me. I'll read them.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of inviting certain crew members?
There. That's half the battle. I thought he was doing and you know it. That's what I thought he was doing.
And you know it. Did you guys recognize that as a Dan? Because I thought that was the beginning of a creaky and you know it.
I was like, whoa, where'd this come from?
You all heard that, correct? You thought that that was him trying. I was about to make fun of how creaky one of his signature phrases was, and then I realized, oh, it's not one of his signature phrases.
It was like una puerta. When you throw a puerta, it's like... That's exactly what it is.
Wait, Greg, can you do a limited fake Stu Gotts laugh next? That was pretty good. Not bad.
It's just a fake laugh. I know. You've got to be careful.
He's going to be so winded at the end of this. Take a breath. He's going to start coughing. Oh, this is a bad thing that we've done here.
Another clip I have of Stugatz is just so you think, all right, maybe this stuff with WFAN, it's a bit, right? I want to play a clip here, and then we're going to ask ourselves the question, is this a bit?

Chapter 4: Is there going to be an open bar at the party?
I got like three more years left on air, and then I'm going to go somewhere, and I'm going to disappear. Bit or no bit? He's not disappearing.
That's a lie.
Why are you shaking your head, Billy?
He's not disappearing after three years. Get out of here. I mean, he may, not by choice, though. respectfully.

Chapter 5: What are the potential costs of the birthday celebration?
Yes, I can, Jess. Expert. I've been married 40 years. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz.
Greg Cody has a bit of an issue on his hands and I'm not sure how many of you have something like this because Greg does not want this turned into content. Chris Cody can't wait to turn it into content because there's some awkwardness in the Greg Cody household. I am just learning for the first time because Greg Cody is very careful and has been all his life about revealing his age.
I am just learning for the first time that shortly Greg Cody will turn 70 years old. That's obviously a big birthday. If you've heard him coughing around here for years, it's a reason for celebration that he has gotten to 70 years old. But he's having some real problems. And I don't know the length of them.
I don't know how awkward this goes, how deep it is deciding who to invite from here because he feels like people are going to get hurt because not everyone's being invited. He just threw his hands up in the room before we got in here and said, this is not my party when it's literally his party.
But I'm not organizing it. It's debatable. I'm behind the scenes.
Dad, you've called me multiple times to discuss guest lists.
And discuss. It's true. I seek your counsel on certain things, such as this show, quite frankly. But in other aspects of my life, there are also close calls and decisions. And do I invite him? Am I obligated to invite her? Should I invite him?
I just want to say that I got a list of who my dad from this world was like, this is who I would think we would invite. And I got a list. I'm not going to say names. Oh, come on. And then I just and my response was this list will offend people because there are people on here that you've chosen that you've known less than some other people. Like you just. All right. How many names?
How many names are on the list without revealing the names? How many people?

Chapter 6: How does Greg feel about the planning of his party?
All right, let's be clear about this. Five or six weeks ago, my wife comes to me and says, I've rented a yacht. Your 70th birthday party, it's not going to be a surprise party. Okay, so... Surprise. So I'm not in charge of all this.
Way too soon.
Huge relief for you to not have it be a surprise party.
Yeah, I don't like a surprise party.
Come on. It's your old.
We don't want to scare you. Then you got a fake surprise. Hey! You got to look around with big, tall eyebrows, faking surprise.
You could also just be surprised.
I know, but come on. The second... My wife, you know, I'm already picturing how it would work. We think we're driving to dinner, right? We're going east to dinner, which we sometimes do.
Let's go get a drink on this boat real fast.

Chapter 7: What surprises await Greg at the birthday party?
It has been an interesting journey with this guest list just about the people here because it started really small with my dad handpicking a few where I was like, this is going to make some people feel awkward. And then my dad's like, all right, screw it. Every on-air person's coming. Wow. And then my mom was like, whoa.
who's tony i'm just kidding i'm making a joke but like my mom was just like whoa we can't have everybody go okay it was silent back here what day is that but i mean to be fair like she did not say who's tony there are certain people that if you invite one you have to invite the other like if you invite tony then you have to invite you know chris and well chris obviously he's going but roy has to go and then if you invite roy then like this person has to go if you invite jeremy he's part of the hee-haw three now does yeti have to go i i mean yeti yeti should be there yeti will be there in
Okay, how about this? Let's play a game. Is anyone that is here in this room today not on that original list?
Yes.
Okay.
Is any of those people speaking right now wearing a white hat?
I started very small. I started with Dan and Stu Gatz, if we're being truthful, because I had no idea. My wife's inviting half of her law firm. That was another thing. I see my mom's list, and I'm like, what is this, my mom's list? It's my party, but there's going to be a bunch of lawyers there. She is paying for the yacht. Probably litigating everything.
Everybody takes a slip and fall at my party, and I'm screwed.
Exactly right.

Chapter 8: How does the crew react to Greg's guest list decisions?
Mom's a defense attorney.
Yeah, that's a good point.
She would defend the boat.
That's true. She's encouraging people to slip and fall. She's spilling water. I'm just making stereotypes about lawyers.
Wait a minute. I'm fine not being invited, Greg, if that puts you in a better spot. I'm okay with that.
No, but I'm being truthful when I say my starting pro is Dan and Stugas.
And Roy and Juju.
That's not true. He's really mad at you.
I don't want to get into any details about who is and isn't invited. The new me says everybody's welcome. And not just on-air people. I love the off-air people.
