Chapter 1: Who moved the Greg Cody column from the studio?
I know you guys like to pretend around here that I'm in charge, but a lot of things happen around here that have nothing to do with me ever knowing about it. And I saw as Jonathan Zaslow, Greg Cody's nemesis, comes into the studio looking very much like radio. I saw that out of the shipping container, the framed Greg Cody trade merino column was taken out.
out of the shipping container and placed. Now this is, you have to understand, this is an heirloom. This is a treasure. This should be something that would be at the center of a church if the church worship bad takes. And I'd like to know who made the decision to take something that is a family heirloom and remove it from our walls in here and put it outside. Is anyone accountable on this?
I was surprised to see it, too. There was some redecorating. And generally, I must say, I'm a fan of what they did. But I also noticed that the Greg Cody column is missing. Thankfully, if you're just listening to The Shadow Show, you don't have to experience this trauma visually for the moment. But it's coming. I know who did it.
I don't feel comfortable saying because they do a lot of good things around here and we don't need to shame them. But yes, I know who did it.
And how does the decision get made on this? Zaslow, how did you feel about that column? And you've made fun of Greg Cody a couple of different times to his face.
I don't think I've made fun of him about it. The column is what it is. There's nothing to make fun of. I think it's the greatest column that he's ever written because everybody knows about it. Everybody knows that he tried to trade Marino. There's no column that stood out more to me as a kid than Greg Cody is saying we should trade Dan Marino.
So, I mean, I think maybe it took it out of there because everybody knows it by heart at this point. It's like you don't need it up there.
This is definitely the article being removed from somewhere over the last 24 hours that I'm most concerned about.
Well, Jeremy, we've got something for you today because I can't believe what I saw last night. Why? What happened? We'll get to it in a second. You at the center of things in a way that's amusing. Because I'm a star? Because your team stinks.

Chapter 2: Why is the Miami Heat struggling this season?
Since we have Zaslow here as part of getting us ready for how it is we're going to cover the NHL playoffs when the Panthers start kicking ass there. What happened, Tony?
NHL playoffs? We had an incredible game last night at the Kaseya Center. Another feather in my cap for the Cade Cunningham bandwagon. It was an incredible night.
I don't believe that you get feathers in your cap for anything Cade Cunningham does. A bandwagon?
How's that?
Can you guys give me the history, please, of feathers in caps and why it is that people get feathers in caps? But last night, the Miami Heat lose for the ninth straight time. They are in a particular hellhole that I don't think we've seen around here in 15 years, unless my memory. Well, your history, Zaslow, is good. Is this the worst Heat team we've seen in 15 years? Yeah.
Yeah, I know a lot of people want to go back to the 2018 where they only won like 15 games. But here's the thing. Your experience in that season knowing, or at least believing, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. That light being the number one overall pick. We have the worst record in the NBA. It ended up being the number two overall pick. We know how that went, Michael Beasley.
The most wrong I've ever been in my sports life, Michael Beasley. But this team... There's no light at the end of the tunnel because they're not even going to miss the play-in. Now they may miss the playoffs, but they're still going to be a play-in team even if they lose the rest of the games this season. And there's no light at the end of the tunnel as far as the lottery goes.
So I have found this season to be one of the least enjoyable of my lifetime.
Let's examine for a scored 34 points in less than 20 minutes last night, seven for seven on threes, 13 for 14. And even he, after the game, was wandering around the locker room saying, I don't know what bleeping happened out there because he scored so much so fast. And last night, you may not have noticed this, the Pacers scored to win 135, 131, 45 points in the fourth quarter.

Chapter 3: How did Jeremy react to the Miami Heat's recent game?
The way you were jumping up and down wherever it is you were when your best sports moment ended up happening.
So much happier in 2006.
And I'm asking you guys to tell me on what circumstances you would find yourself so visibly dejected. That's an argument with your spouse, right? Like, where are the places where you're so physically dejected that you see his shoulders go from where they were at a man's height of about 5'9 or 5'10, whatever it is that he is. Yeah, you got it.
to the height of a man who is now 5'6 or David Sampson size because his shoulders sag so much in an arena full of people whose shoulders are sagging that way after several years of feeling like your shoulders are sagging that way.
Last time my shoulders did what Jeremy's did was when Jacoby George had that personal foul penalty as Miami was driving at Syracuse.
Oh, we were so close to Kobe. How about the third down where that guy from Georgia Tech wearing number 49 or whatever ran for like 27 yards and you're like, no!
Isaiah Horton dropping the slant. That seven yard slant. It was in your hands.
Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Levitard Show. Do you know why anyone was putting feathers in their cap?
So it goes back to military traditions in Europe. Native Americans would do it. Genghis Khan would do it. You would award feathers for acts of valor. Like helmet stickers?

Chapter 4: What is the significance of feathers in caps?
He fell even harder than my shoulders did. Hey, friends, it's Jer Bear here. And I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which is now a legit nationwide 5G network.
So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice because I would never, ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America.
Seriously. Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. The Boost Mobile Network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the U.S. population. 5G speeds not available in all areas.
Don Levitard.
Stugatz. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
I have another video that you guys can put picture in picture, and it's just, and I think all of us will stop on this. You correct me if I'm wrong. All of us will always stop on the video of somebody falling on a treadmill. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. This is your thing.
You love these things so much.
Yes. Anybody falling on a treadmill.
You pass quite the net when it comes to the comedy.

Chapter 5: What makes Joe Rogan's spinning leg kick so impressive?
Can we make a bet here? Because... There's a difference, though. I think we all agree during the starting lineups announcements he'll get that. But will he then, in the first quarter, get a video montage? That's the extra step.
You and Mike Ryan are on record, and I've seen this move from Mike Ryan before. It's a crafty one where he puts himself in a position where he gets to win no matter what by trying to be classy about Jimmy Butler and saying, I'm rooting for him in the event that he does win so the pain hurts less. I'm not rooting for him. No, I know.
He says he's rooting for him so that the pain will hurt less if he is hoisting the trophy. But when you guys say that you believe this, I haven't talked to anybody at the Heat, but... I do know how angry Pat Riley is, and I'd be surprised if he puts down that anger in the name of optics. I'd be willing to bet the other way that you're not going to get the glory.
You might get something, but you're going to get a token something so that it can't be a conversation. Oh, the Miami Heat were super small in this instance, but you will not get the biggest grateful thing.
You think it'll just be a picture of him on the Jumbotron? Thank you, Jimmy. Not even a video of it.
I don't believe that they're going to get past all their pettiness while possibly in the middle of an 11-game losing streak that they blame him for.
You've got to undo everything that is said about your organization, though, in one season because the culture thing has become a punchline. And another thing that they usually say about this organization is that it's first class. So we're going to choose that opportunity to be petty? It's over. It's done with. His problem was with the front office and ownership and Pat Riley.
It wasn't with this community. I know people feel a certain way about Jimmy, and I understand if you're a passionate Heat fan, you don't like the way that went down and you don't like what he did. But it's over. You have way more good memories with Jimmy Butler, and you have to give the opportunity to the fans to respond however they may want.
But you leave it up to the fans, and you give them that opportunity.

Chapter 6: Will the Miami Heat honor Jimmy Butler upon his return?
Boy, that's gonna be an ugly scene if they're playing a video. and it's just raining down booze. I don't see that. I don't see it either, but man, that will be an ugly scene.
We keep talking about how the Heat fans are going to react to it. I'm starting to warm up to it. I'm more interested to see how Jimmy handles it.
even like no matter the reaction like let's say the fans largely applaud is he gonna do like a classy wave to the crowd and and try to share the love and yeah we had well he's always said that about he he says he's connected to the city and the fans he said that throughout he's a different guy when he's on the court and he knows the cameras are on him and i'm genuinely curious like
Is he going to be able to separate the reception from the fans from his feelings about the organization? Does he take an opportunity to show that he doesn't care? Does he just blankly stare, which I think is probably a likely outcome?
I'm mostly interested in they're playing that video and then they pan to Pat Riley and he gets up and goes, boo!
And he's the only one who's actually booing the crowd. Or there's boos everywhere during it, and they cut to Riley, and he's just got a maniacal smile. He's just like, that's what I really wanted. I knew they'd boo you, so I did the classy thing just to inspire them to boo.
