The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.
[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.
[3] And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
[4] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[5] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.
[6] The tequila that invented tequila.
[7] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
[8] Quervo, now's a good time.

[12] Jersey City, New Jersey.
[13] Please drink responsibly.
[14] Oh, Tannahill, oh, Tannahill, your future makes a swoon.
[15] You throw, when summer days are bright, you throw when winter snow is white.
[16] Oh, Tanna Hill, oh, Tanna Hill, sidestep passes and we'll love you.
[17] Oh, Tana Hill, oh, Tanna Hill, you give us so much pleasure.
[18] not Cleo Lemon on the run.
[19] You're not lame Joey Harrington.
[20] Oh, Tanna Hill, oh, Tanna Hill, please bring us an NFL treasure.
[21] Oh, Tanna Hill, oh, Tanna Hill, you fill our hearts with music.
[22] Okay, you aren't RG3.
[23] Okay, you aren't Andrew Luck.
[24] Well, we, well, we don't give a darn.
[25] We love you, oh, Tana Hill.
[26] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast.
[27] Today's episode is sponsored by Draft Kings.
[28] Stay tuned because you'll hear more about Draft Kings and all it has to offer throughout the show.
[29] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[30] Happy Greg Cody Tuesday.
[31] Yeah.
[32] We started the Shadow Show with a throwback to an ode to Ryan Tannahill from how many years ago was that, Greg?
[33] Boy, that's a while ago.
[34] I referenced Joey Harrington and Cleo Lemon, so we got to research that.
[35] That's, it was the year he was drafted.
[36] It was like the season leading up to his rookie year.
[37] So when was that, 09 or something?
[38] You said he wasn't as good as RG3.
[39] I know, that too dates the song.
[40] You had a big smile on your face listening to that song.
[41] I had completely forgotten that that was a song that I sang.
[42] 2012 was when that song was created.
[43] I got to admit, Stugats, I wonder if you had the same reaction as I did.
[44] Joey Harrington, names that make me smile.
[45] I don't know.
[46] I just, I heard Joey Harrington.
[47] I remember, it took me back to another time.
[48] I think there's a sneaky game.
[49] I know 90s baseball players make a smile, but I've been reading this Aaron Rogers book, and there are so many great names that get me to smile.
[50] O .J. Otagway.
[51] That'll make me smile.
[52] J. J. J. Arrington.
[53] Yes.
[54] Tully Bantacain.
[55] Right.
[56] I would say Cleo Lemon is actually the name that makes me smile on that song.
[57] It does.
[58] Yes.
[59] It's just the perfectly ghastly name for a professional athlete tag.
[60] Devin Aromashadu.
[61] I want to play this game.
[62] I want to play this game for this entire day.
[63] Now, we've got a big show for you guys today.
[64] We're going to play that Rahim Mostert interview a little bit later.
[65] Are you asking?
[66] Yeah, well, you know, I'm just confirming.
[67] We also got a continuation of the sueyes.
[68] Yesterday was a strong day.
[69] Yeah.
[70] Strong day.
[71] Dismissals and best fakes.
[72] Stugats, they undersold you on the dismissals.
[73] Everyone's like, Billy's coming this year, and Billy had some great dismissals.
[74] Yeah.
[75] But then it was backloaded with Stugats.
[76] Gauts again and again and again.
[77] It felt like Michael Jordan in the fourth quarter.
[78] Well, it's also, that that category is just always such a Stugat's category that you like to mention the people that are coming for the title.
[79] Like, I agree with you.
[80] There's no one, no one comes for the Stugat's title.
[81] I'm not there.
[82] No, but I love, I love that you have a flurry of Stugat's takes at the very end of that.
[83] I think that's what it means talking about.
[84] It made me feel good.
[85] You lowered the bar.
[86] Like people, listen, people around here think perhaps I had a bad year.
[87] Go listen to best dismissals, okay?
[88] I had a year.
[89] Oh, did I have a year?
[90] I dismissed at the highest of levels.
[91] Around Suey Week, the hardest thing for me is when someone just walks by me and they mutter something that I forgot to put in the sueyes.
[92] And Stugats hit me with that yesterday.
[93] He was like, oh, dismissal.
[94] Good category.
[95] You forgot Joe Mower.
[96] I mean, he did.
[97] I was like, oh, my God.
[98] First Ballot Hall of Fame, please.
[99] Information that would have been helpful yesterday.
[100] No one asked.
[101] What we should do on mystery crate this week is behind the scenes of how the sueyes are created.
[102] Because even, even let's just assume, that Joe Maurer had been in there.
[103] The lining up of what comes where, that tells a story, too.
[104] That creates because it felt like a prize fight.
[105] And here comes Billy.
[106] Oh, what a big right overhand.
[107] Oh, my God, and it's Sucats his little days.
[108] And we come back and now it's the 11th round and all of a sudden.
[109] Then show hey.
[110] I am rattled to me, because I walked in today and every Tuesday I could bank on a couple of things.
[111] A small Weiling Greg Cody and a hug from Greg Cody.
[112] Okay.
[113] And today I walked in, and for the first time that I can remember, Greg Cody was in a bad mood.
[114] A bad mood.
[115] A sour mood.
[116] And I thought he was mad at me. He didn't get up.
[117] He barely said hello.
[118] There was no hug.
[119] There was no embracing.
[120] And so I don't know if you experienced the same Greg Cody as I did, but I am wondering what is going on this morning with Greg Cody.
[121] I walked in the studio, and I know I'm not, I'm sitting in dance seat, So I got to do the Dan Leaky Fawcett thing.
[122] I saw Greg and Chris hissing at each other, hissing at each other.
[123] And I just said, this must be some, you know, family circumstances.
[124] Let me give them their privacy and walk out.
[125] I came back in, sat down, and I found Greg voice dictating to his phone about needing an extension for the trade deadline.
[126] And I really need a yes from you.
[127] I don't know who.
[128] Oh, you heard him campaigning to my brother.
[129] brother, because he just voted yes in the group chat.
[130] So you texted Michael looking for that yes.
[131] Unabashedly, I did.
[132] There was no strong.
[133] I mean, I just said, if you agree that we should extend the trade deadline, please go in the group chat and vote yes now because the commissioner put a arbitrary noon deadline today on voting yes, even though I'm working and I barely have time to campaign.
[134] You're making this more confusing.
[135] Let me try to make this as simple as possible.
[136] We have a Keeper League, and there's a trade.
[137] window before the keeper league in case you have a plethora of keepers and you're like oh i can only keep four but i have six let me i can get some value now trade away and a couple weeks ago i sent out an email saying this trade window is open from till august 23rd two weeks so it's like what from the ninth to the 23rd i gave the dates of one it and then what else can i do there i sent the email you can send out a reminder the day before like roger giddell on the like i'm sure that Adam Silver calls every team on the day of.
[138] And it's like, hey, guys, this is your last day to make a move.
[139] Yeah, because family and friends fantasy league is akin to the NFL.
[140] If there's no rules, what are we?
[141] What are we without rules?
[142] Was that your limited pick, Adam Silver, by the way?
[143] But I'm just saying, so now my dad is pressuring through this group text, this group text, every one of my friends and people in our family of just threatening to quit the league.
[144] No, I'm not threatening to.
[145] I screwed up.
[146] I now am going to lose keepers because I just didn't do the trades when I was supposed to.
[147] And now I'm going to pressure everybody to vote to extend this trade deadline.
[148] No pressure.
[149] So, Chris, you should know he's got a sheet of – it's like a grid.
[150] Right.
[151] He's crossing off names.
[152] It's like House of Cards.
[153] That show rep right there.
[154] How many yeses do I need to get?
[155] One no vote.
[156] See all the pressure?
[157] Everyone's voting yes for him because people – even though it benefits other people in the league.
[158] Like, oh, wow.
[159] Then why are people voting yet?
[160] Because you're Greg Cody and everyone doesn't want to upset you.
[161] Maybe you're wrong, Chris.
[162] Right.
[163] I disagree.
[164] First of all, I haven't voted.
[165] I'm the commissioner.
[166] I'm trying to stay out of it.
[167] this.
[168] How are you going to vote?
[169] That's a fine by the I'm hoping that they get enough votes without me having to vote.
[170] Which way would you hope it goes?
[171] If it's a tie, which where are we going?
[172] If it comes down to your vote.
[173] I think it's a no, because it's unfair for the league.
[174] There's a window like it just because he's screwed up now it's just, hey, let's extend this.
[175] But you agree if I get the majority vote, which is seven, that okay, you're not going to bitch and mollet.
[176] No, wow.
[177] I let the league, I want the league to speak, but it's like, I think you're like, I don't think a lot of these people voting yes.
[178] actually won it.
[179] I think they're just like giving into you because you're...
[180] In fairness.
[181] Because it's fair.
[182] It's not fair.
[183] I mean, no one wants Greg out of the league.
[184] He's the star of the league.
[185] But I see what Chris is saying.
[186] Chris is saying that he's leveraging his celebrity by saying if we don't change this rule, I walk and no one wants to see Greg walk either.
[187] Greg never said that.
[188] I never said that.
[189] If another team was pulling this, you would be the first person like this is bullshit.
[190] If you had major deals in the window and some other team was doing this, you would be the loudest voice.
[191] It could be.
[192] Being anti - That's the part that may be.
[193] Hey, man. We vote in our best interests.
[194] That's what makes democracy beautiful.
[195] Yes, and we are a democracy, at least for now.
[196] Juju God, he's actually in the league and hasn't voted yet.
[197] Oh, yeah.
[198] By the way, Juju, if you're listening, because there's an arbitrary noon deadline on the vote.
[199] You're not going to go into the Keeper League group chat and vote yes, Juju.
[200] I will also say, my understanding is Chris is sending you away to run errands during this window.
[201] So he's not even giving you full time to make said adjustment.
[202] No, no, no, no, not at all.
[203] I want to ask a question.
[204] I want to ask a question to Greg, because, you know, every Tuesday he comes in with a list of topics that he's hot on.
[205] He wants to talk on.
[206] And number one, the number one bullet on the list is Dolphins fans ranked sixth of 124 on the Misery Index.
[207] I googled this.
[208] I looked around.
[209] I was trying to figure out did Sports Illustrated do this?
[210] Well, I guess they don't do stuff anymore.
[211] All they do is aggregate.
[212] I said, did ESPN do this?
[213] Where is this Misery Index?
[214] It's my creation.
[215] I invented it.
[216] Wait, what?
[217] Yeah.
[218] No, I devised a fan index, a fan misery index.
[219] Right.
[220] FMI.
[221] Yeah, right, right.
[222] And by my reckoning, I researched all 124 teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB.
[223] That's four.
[224] I thought about including MLS and WNBA and everything, but they hadn't stood the test of time that had only been around 20, 25 years.
[225] So I went with the traditional Big Four teams.
[226] Okay.
[227] Researched all 124 teams, and by my metric, the Dolphin fans rank number six on the Misery Index.
[228] So before we get into the details of the Misery Index and the methodology behind it, Who are the five teams ahead of the Dolphins who are more miserable?
[229] You know what?
[230] I can tell you that, but I would have to look up the column.
[231] While he does it, that ding you just heard, was Juju voting yes.
[232] So now it looks like my dad has seven votes and this stupid trade deadline is going to get extended.
[233] Democracy.
[234] It is democracy, Billy.
[235] Thank you.
[236] This is actual democracy.
[237] It's just shadiness going on in the background.
[238] I didn't pressure anybody.
[239] Worked out his way.
[240] I think it just happened to.
[241] I mean.
[242] I'm bringing it like a Cheshire cat here.
[243] So you created this misery index and you have to look it up.
[244] You don't know the five teams.
[245] It's a lot of teams.
[246] That's five.
[247] I mean, you owe $50 just so you know.
[248] All right, here it is right here.
[249] I love the obliviousness.
[250] That's my favorite part.
[251] I can actually give you a top 10 if you want.
[252] Okay.
[253] Bottom 10, I should call it.
[254] Do you want to explain your misery index?
[255] I mean, I know you explain how you went about it, but is it the most miserable fan base?
[256] Like, what is it?
[257] It's the fans who have the right, in my opinion, by my method, to be the most frustrated.
[258] Okay.
[259] And we have three, I can tell you the three categories.
[260] So the fan bases that have the right to be the most frustrated with their teams.
[261] Okay.
[262] All right.
[263] Okay.
[264] Okay.
[265] Now, do you want me to do it from 10 to 1 or 1 to 10?
[266] 10 to 1?
[267] Let's do, get the fanfare ready, Chris, please?
[268] Here we go.
[269] Okay.
[270] Number 10.
[271] It's actually a top.
[272] for ninth.
[273] Wow.
[274] The tie for nine.
[275] This is big.
[276] Is the Pittsburgh Pirates.
[277] Geez, you've got the Dolphins fans.
[278] It's more miserable than Pirates fans.
[279] And the Washington Wizards.
[280] Interesting.
[281] Number eight, Milwaukee Brewers.
[282] Number seven, Minnesota Vikings.
[283] Number six, Miami Dolphins.
[284] Number five, Toronto Maple Leafs.
[285] Number four, Atlanta Hawks Number three, Cleveland Browns You gotta have fans Number two, New York Jets Thank you You're welcome And number one, despite their playoff win last year The Detroit Lions Wow That's seven So they're currently worse than the Jets I don't know Oh, that's eight, my fault They're more miserable right now than Jets fans That's interesting.
[286] The Lions fans?
[287] Lions fans, yeah.
[288] I can, now, the methodology.
[289] Very important.
[290] The most points wins or loses, depending on your point of view.
[291] So there are multiple categories you can score points in.
[292] Right.
[293] There are three categories.
[294] Okay, that's nine.
[295] The Miami Dolphins accrued 112 points to rank sixth.
[296] Okay.
[297] The three categories are most consecutive seasons since the last playoff victory.
[298] All right.
[299] Most consecutive seasons since.
[300] the last league championship.
[301] Okay.
[302] And most consecutive seasons since the last championship game appearance.
[303] Okay.
[304] So the Lions won a playoff game last year.
[305] Yes.
[306] But they haven't won a championship or been in a championship game in 66 years.
[307] So that's times two.
[308] So that's 132, which was the losing total.
[309] I like it.
[310] I like it.
[311] That's an interesting methodology there.
[312] Are you counting St. Louis for the Atlanta Hawks championship?
[313] No, that's a very astute question by you.
[314] It's a fan index.
[315] He knows his index.
[316] Yeah, I make it clear in the column that I'm going only by where the team is located now.
[317] In other words, Las Vegas Raiders fans don't have to inherit the misery of what the team did in Oakland 40 years ago.
[318] Got it.
[319] And by this metric, Dolphins fans are the sixth.
[320] most miserable among all professional sports.
[321] Yeah, because the – and I don't know exactly, but roughly, the Super Bowl victory drought has been 50 -some years.
[322] The Super Bowl appearance drought has been going on 40 years.
[323] The playoff victory drought is an NFL long 23 years.
[324] So those three categories together accrued 112 misery points.
[325] I think that's a fair number for the Dolphins because you have to factor in how passionate the fan base is about the actual team.
[326] I don't know if Atlanta cares that the Hawks haven't been good.
[327] Yes.
[328] But I know Dolphin fans are upset that Dolphins haven't been good in a long time.
[329] I know Leif's fans are upset that Toronto hasn't been good in a long time.
[330] Some of these fan bases, I'm not certain they even care enough, you know?
[331] Yeah, that's 10, by the way.
[332] What was the vote?
[333] How much you...
[334] Dad, can you silence your phone so we stop hearing dings?
[335] I'm not hearing dinks.
[336] I didn't hear it.
[337] You didn't hear the last seven dings?
[338] Ten.
[339] The last ten.
[340] I'll be counting.
[341] I got ash marks here, ladies and gentlemen.
[342] Powered off.
[343] Sorry.
[344] The only, oh, what's that?
[345] A thousand dollars?
[346] I put it on my tab.
[347] Ten times ten.
[348] A thousand dollars.
[349] So where is Greg on the -Zell you the money?
[350] Where is Greg on the Tana Hill thing?
[351] Oh, you know what?
[352] They got rid of Mike White, which I thought was an upgrade.
[353] Skyler Thompson.
[354] You thought that it was an upgrade just getting rid of Mike White?
[355] Well, they're going to...
[356] So having no one.
[357] It's better than Mike White.
[358] Having no Mike White is better than having Mike White.
[359] I agree with that.
[360] I assume they're going to keep him on the practice squad.
[361] Shut up, Scots.
[362] He loved Mike White.
[363] I never loved Mike White.
[364] Yes, you did.
[365] If Mike White started to retire you, we'd be in a playoff right now.
[366] Dolphin fans made such a big deal about getting Mike White from the Jets.
[367] And I'm like, guys, are you kidding me?
[368] He's not that good.
[369] Shut up.
[370] Don't make me go back in the logger and find those Mike White shows after those prolific passing efforts.
[371] Perhaps there was that one show.
[372] They let him go because he was making a lot more than Skylar Thompson, and they're basically the same guy.
[373] Right.
[374] But this has opened the door for a lot of people wondering, and congratulations, Dolphins fans.
[375] You've come out of it.
[376] After decades upon decades of talking about what the answer is at QB1, we've now shifted the focus to the conversation being QB2.
[377] I'm not being sarcastic.
[378] This is a big step.
[379] This is like the most interesting thing surrounding the team at this point in terms of like, who, what's going to happen here?
[380] So I think it'd be really cool for Tana Hill, who had a nice career, I think, proved himself worthy of that draft pick.
[381] Was he the franchise quarterback that Tua turned into?
[382] No. But he had a really nice, wonderful career.
[383] He's still out there, still available.
[384] It'd be a nice way to complete the circle for him.
[385] I feel like this is what the Misery Index is all about, right?
[386] It's the shifting of the conversation from once upon the time, Ryan Tannehill, is he our franchise quarterback to Ryan Tannahill.
[387] should we consider him for our backup job?
[388] I feel like that should bump you guys lower on the misery index.
[389] You guys are getting happier, right?
[390] Yeah, I mean, Tua still has his haters, believe me. There's plenty of Dolphin fans who didn't think he deserved the money he got or that he's all that or that he might not get injured again.
[391] There's two of haters out there, but I agree with Mike.
[392] I think he's a franchise quarterback.
[393] As for the backup, as much as I think Tanny Hill is a valuable veteran who you wouldn't hesitate to put in, I think you keep Skylar Thompson.
[394] I think he won the backup.
[395] I think Tanahill is such a big upgrade there.
[396] Like backup quarterback has become increasingly important in the NFL.
[397] Joe Flacco last year.
[398] Joe Flacco possibly this year with the cult.
[399] I think having Tanahill, Tua, there's no insecurity with Tua.
[400] It's his job.
[401] They just paid him over $200 million.
[402] But it's good to have Tanahill backing him up in the event Tua does get hurt.
[403] Exactly.
[404] There's the insecurity.
[405] The insecurity is his health.
[406] The insecurity is that he's a guy who's demonstrated an inability to stay on the field.
[407] And so rather than have a guy in Skylar Thompson where you're like, okay, this is a roster spot checked off, you've got some comfort.
[408] And Tannahill is a bona fide starter in this league.
[409] You will not miss a beat if he has to step into that role, no. Yeah, I think if the league thought as much about Tannehill as you all do, he certainly would have been signed by now.
[410] I think he's sitting around.
[411] Yeah, I think he's got options and he's weighing them.
[412] I think in terms of a backup role, that's top tier in the NFL.
[413] I do think that the team would certainly be better, and I'd feel better if I were a Dolphin fan if my QB2 was Ryan Tanyhill on a team.
[414] And last year was a bit of an outlier in that, too, us stayed completely healthy, answered some of those questions, but it's not like those questions don't still remain.
[415] You want to be able to plug in a guy that you can potentially win a playoff game with, and Ryan Tainanil has shown that.
[416] He's gone to an AFC championship game.
[417] That's the important thing about a backup.
[418] It's not, you know, they will lose a step if they go from, to Ryan Tannahill.
[419] Two is better than Ryan Tannahill.
[420] You've got to lose his steps, too.
[421] No, no, no. Can he win you a game or two?
[422] Can the backup quarterback win you a game or two?
[423] And Ryan Tannahill can.
[424] If you're Tannahill, you can't predict injuries.
[425] So why would you commit to a team?
[426] Why wouldn't you just sit back like Joe Flacco did last year and just be like, who needs me?
[427] Well, there's a couple reasons.
[428] One, you want to keep getting paid.
[429] Number two, you want to be familiar with the playbook.
[430] Well, you got like 80 million from the Dolphins.
[431] So you can still get a little bit more.
[432] But also, you want to be familiar with the playbook.
[433] You want to be comfortable when you walk and you're not learning things on the fly.
[434] You want to play, though.
[435] And by the way, well, there's no starting jobs out there.
[436] That's why you wait.
[437] I don't know.
[438] I'll tell you who also benefits from this, Skyler Thompson.
[439] Because I submit to you there's no better job in the NFL than QB3.
[440] Dude, all you do is you wear a visor, you hold, you talk, you whisper.
[441] You're two hits away.
[442] All you got to do is whispered some guys ears.
[443] I was like, yo, he's really smart.
[444] He's really contributing on the sideline.
[445] Dude, I don't do anything.
[446] I wear a red jersey in practice.
[447] I go against the number threes.
[448] I'm fine.
[449] I was thinking yesterday, I think it was Jared Stiddam, that I saw a clip of him just being like, I know I'm a starting quarterback in this league.
[450] And I wonder, all these crappy quarterbacks that we look at in their minds, they think, like, I just need my shot.
[451] Like, Jacoby Brissette, do you think he's just like, oh, absolutely, I'm good being a backup?
[452] Or he's looking in the mirror every day, like, give me my opportunity.
[453] I'll be a, I'll still be a five -time pro player.
[454] He's tasted the blood.
[455] He started.
[456] He was out there playing, making.
[457] There has to be some quarterback out there that just gets it.
[458] I'm not that good.
[459] I don't want my guy to get injured ahead of me. I just want to be the backup.
[460] It was Carson Palmer's brother.
[461] Remember him?
[462] That dude.
[463] Jordan Palmer.
[464] Who invented Run P. That app where you can check to see if you could leave the movie theater to go to the bathroom.
[465] The other hallmark of someone who doesn't want to be a starting quarterback.
[466] Coming up with app ideas, right?
[467] It predated apps.
[468] This was a website that you would open up in your browser like, oh, I'm watching Alien Romulus.
[469] right now.
[470] What's a good time for me to go pee and not miss any plot points?
[471] There just has to be a quarterback out there that's just like, I'm no good, I can't believe I'm even a backup, I hope my guy stays healthy because I don't want to get exposed.
[472] I think there's plenty who believe that.
[473] I don't think there's many who would admit that.
[474] I don't know.
[475] I think in order to be a professional athlete, there is some sort of hubris you have to have baked in.
[476] You have to believe because, I mean, think about the odds.
[477] How many football players are in the country, in the world, and how many spots are in NFL?
[478] And then when you talk about quarterback positions.
[479] There's only what, 32 teams, three spots per team.
[480] Some teams aren't even carrying a QB3 anymore, right?
[481] That's the new thing now.
[482] They just carry two.
[483] So when you think about that, you're talking about less than 96 spots in the world to do this.
[484] You have to have some sort of delusion about you.
[485] Having said that, once you're here, I think there are a lot of guys like...
[486] Not a bad gig.
[487] Yeah, you guys got it.
[488] Go ahead.
[489] Go ahead, Tua and...
[490] Oh, Ryan, come in here.
[491] Well, if you're Chad Henney backing up Patrick Mahon you have no illusion.
[492] But if it's a close race...
[493] Well, hold on.
[494] Does Carson Wentz have an illusion?
[495] Because he's the backup now in Kansas City.
[496] Yeah, I mean, he more so than an old Chad Henney.
[497] You know what I mean?
[498] Like Carson Wentz is a good example of a guy like Ryan Tannahill who thinks I've proven myself in this league.
[499] Somebody got to give me another chance.
[500] I can still start, you know.
[501] You got Carson Wentz walking into the quarterback room and looking at Mahomes like, you're on thin ice, buddy.
[502] you make that mistake I'm ready and you know and by the way does Patrick Mahomes think to the back in the back of his head wait this is exactly what happened to Alex Smith he was the number one guy and national radio hosts who were singing his praises and then I came in and I you know kind of like Andy Reid has a little bit of like infidelity right if you get with a cheater guess what's going to happen to you you don't get cheated on at some point I think Mahomes has total job security I don't know I think he's pretty good for now 855 NBA jump Let us know if you think Carson Wentz has a chance to stealing the job from Patrick Mahomes.
[503] He's confused why he's not fielding quarterback controversy questions.
[504] How's practice, Carson?
[505] Good.
[506] I'm just putting my best tape out there.
[507] He loves the game.
[508] It's a coach's call.
[509] He loves it.
[510] My job is to let Andy Reid know if you've got two quarterbacks, that means you've got what's the guts?
[511] It means you don't have one.
[512] There you go.
[513] Well said.
[514] Nailed it.
[515] By the way, Ryan Tadahill has made nearly $200 million.
[516] He's fine on the money front I'm telling you right now Every single person whenever they say he's fine on the money He doesn't need more money Everybody needs more money Everybody needs more money There's nobody out there The billionaires are fighting Everybody wants more money But he wants to be able to play So the most important thing to him is I want options Like you're just saying like He better sign somewhere quick Because he just needs to pay the light bill He has the luxury to be like I'm gonna wait till someone gets hurt I'm not saying that I'm just saying the idea that, A, this is a pretty good bet that this guy's going to get hurt.
[517] But B, you want to be as comfortable as possible.
[518] The best version of Ryan Tannahill knows the playbook.
[519] Isn't learning it like on the fly, on the flight over from wherever he lives?
[520] He clearly disagrees with you because he's waiting.
[521] Well, like, if he was like, man, I got to get to know this playbook, he would have signed somewhere.
[522] What are the other jobs?
[523] I think he's just waiting for someone to get hurt.
[524] That's all he's doing.
[525] Jordan Love goes down.
[526] Boom, I'll be a Packer.
[527] They got Malik Willis.
[528] You don't know that there's a market for.
[529] Ryan Tanahill.
[530] I think that in terms of backups, like, who's better out there?
[531] Who's better out there?
[532] He would have signed by now if he were, had teams coming after him.
[533] Are you saying Tanil has too much pride where he will not allow himself to be a backup?
[534] He has to wait for someone to get hurt?
[535] He's Ryan bleeping Taniel.
[536] I think he looks at himself as I'm the best backup out here right now.
[537] As soon as anybody gets hurt, people are going to come calling to me. Well, he's not a backup then.
[538] Everybody's got a backup quarterback.
[539] Why do they need to call somebody who's a free agent who hasn't been signed in a whole offseason?
[540] I feel like what I'm saying is not crazy.
[541] They'll call Brady first.
[542] The best backup waits.
[543] Audi listeners, it's Mike Ryan.
[544] The Dan Lebitard show started September 1st, 2004.
[545] It's a long time ago.
[546] 20 years, in fact, a lot has changed over that 20 years.
[547] But for most of that 20 years, we've had Miller Light on board as a proud partner.
[548] And even though, like I said, so much has changed, our show has changed, where we've been, where we air, our priorities, they've all changed.
[549] One thing that hasn't, the dependable taste of Miller Lite.
[550] What's the best thing about the original light beer?
[551] Miller Light sparked this debate way back in 1975 and we still haven't settled it.
[552] For me, it's undebatable.
[553] The quality.
[554] Great taste.
[555] Only 96 calories.
[556] It's a beer that strips away everything that you don't need and holds on what matters most.
[557] You don't have to choose what you like best about Miller Light.
[558] Miller Light has great taste and is less filling.
[559] Tastes like Miller Time.

[586] Is there back in my day?
[587] There is, actually.
[588] Hey!
[589] Are you not going to tell anyone?
[590] What?
[591] Wait a minute.
[592] You guys...
[593] It's a Tuesday.
[594] It's a Tuesday.
[595] It's a Tuesday.
[596] Stugats.
[597] Here's your guide.
[598] Greg Cody with Back in My Day.
[599] I hope I am.
[600] Okay, here it is.
[601] Sorry.
[602] Adultery.
[603] Oh.
[604] Yeah.
[605] We are back.
[606] We're rated for this one.
[607] This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.
[608] Guys.
[609] And gal.
[610] Yo.
[611] I just saw something very.
[612] Just scrolled by on Twitter, the Miami Heat today at noon in Pembroke Pines are looking for the hippest, coolest, young at heart, senior citizen dancers to be part of the heat golden oldies.
[613] You know that's Charlotte Wilde at?
[614] What's the age thing?
[615] Can we get Dan in there?
[616] That's Charlotte Wilder's favorite.
[617] That's like she goes to heat games and she goes nuts.
[618] They're always wearing something.
[619] They start dancing midway through.
[620] So Poppy's.
[621] not here.
[622] Dan is up in New York.
[623] He is covering Jets and Giants training camp for us.
[624] Hold on.
[625] Let me read.
[626] There's requirements here.
[627] Must sign a waiver, blah, blah, blah.
[628] Oh, must be 60 years of age.
[629] Discrimination.
[630] I'm out.
[631] Dan's mother was going to try out.
[632] Dan's mom?
[633] Yeah.
[634] Really?
[635] I think so.
[636] How old are you?
[637] I'm older than 60.
[638] Don't go there.
[639] No, don't even go there.
[640] You got your dancing shoes on?
[641] I have my big birthday.
[642] Coming up.
[643] Wait a second.
[644] Ready to show those cards.
[645] Wait a second.
[646] You could use a tryout as like prep.
[647] I'm getting my dancing shoes ready for my big 70th party.
[648] I don't dance.
[649] You're going to have to at this party.
[650] That's just a technicality.
[651] No, that's shocking to me. I imagine Greg Cody to be a great dancer.
[652] Yes.
[653] That's odd.
[654] I don't know why.
[655] I hide on a dance floor.
[656] Didn't you dance in Vegas when they came out with the band and stuff you did a little jig, didn't you?
[657] I may have.
[658] I mean, I have my hokey dance moves, but.
[659] But they're not really...
[660] How with the hand, like as a tail kind of thing?
[661] Yeah.
[662] Wait, can you paint that picture for us, hiding on the dance floor?
[663] Like, how do you do that?
[664] Okay, the only time I dance is after several drinks at a wedding reception.
[665] Okay, done.
[666] Right.
[667] If the dance floor is really crowded with 30 or 40 people, I will go up there with my wife during what I know to be a short song.
[668] We will meander toward the middle of the dance floor so that if you're sitting at a table judging people dancing, you can't see me. Right.
[669] I'm 5 '9.
[670] I'm in the middle of a throng of people.
[671] I'm doing my little dance Can't wait for the song to end It's a two and a half minute song So I'm good And then we sit down again I was always under the impression That you don't want to be in the middle of the floor Because the middle of the floor is kind of like Hey this is where the best dancers are If you're on the edges People don't really pay attention And also there's a table right next You can sit down if you feel like It's not going as well Yeah but you're on the edges And people could judge you And that's what he's trying to prevent I'm with the mean here Like you get judged when you go into the middle The circle surrounding You don't get judged there That's where you can just do the Will Smith, like side to side.
[672] That's what I do.
[673] That's my idea of dancing.
[674] I think we need to do this.
[675] Do what?
[676] Registration starts at 11.
[677] It's in Pembroke Pines.
[678] It's on your way home.
[679] Can we send you?
[680] To the Golden Oldies.
[681] Yes, come on.
[682] Okay, no. First of all, if I'm being truthful, not a huge fan of the Golden Old.
[683] What?
[684] Don't say that in time.
[685] Don't say that in a strike.
[686] Hold on.
[687] No, this is an opportunity.
[688] You can pull ring.
[689] No, this is a chance here.
[690] Wait, hang on.
[691] He can pull rank.
[692] Greg Godi doesn't need to audition.
[693] Right.
[694] All right.
[695] So don't knock the golden oldies because we can just bomb in and say, hey, Greg wants to perform one of these days.
[696] And that's it.
[697] And they'll make it happen.
[698] No, this is even more disrespectful that.
[699] That's too good for the golden old.
[700] He's got a respect to audition like everyone else.
[701] That's what Mike said.
[702] I'm saying he's too busy.
[703] I don't like the idea.
[704] It's got a big deadline.
[705] I don't like the idea of putting old people just got extended him.
[706] Laughing at the elderly.
[707] Yeah.
[708] Yeah, I'm with Greg.
[709] You don't like to just put them out there to perform for people to laugh at.
[710] They're on display.
[711] They're human beings.
[712] But they're good dancers, aren't they, I mean?
[713] Aren't they cute?
[714] No, they're not.
[715] They're incredible dancers, first of all.
[716] They're better than a lot of young people dancing.
[717] They're better than me. That's for sure.
[718] They go for cheap pops.
[719] No, they don't.
[720] Yes, they do.
[721] No. Yeah, you think it's one thing and then they rip off their pants and they start twerking their asses.
[722] It shocks me every time.
[723] I'm like, oh, another outfit.
[724] I know.
[725] Greg, you could change them from within.
[726] Yeah, drain the swamp, Greg.
[727] I'm going to go see if we have the video ability to do this today.
[728] I don't care what my dad says.
[729] Greg, from a content standpoint alone, like I get Rose, get Mike Point to somebody out here with a camera just to watch you go through this audition.
[730] I think we could get some good stuff out of here.
[731] And I think you're underselling your dancing capabilities.
[732] I think they're trying to make you the golden oldie of the golden oldies, if you're going to be perfectly honest.
[733] I think they want to send you out there to a bunch of people who are dancing and then look at you's for something we say, oh, isn't Greg Kew?
[734] No, I'm the kind of guy who would tank the audition.
[735] Really?
[736] To not make the team?
[737] You actually think that I'm going to be a season -long golden -old.
[738] Why not?
[739] That's a great bit that we just gave you a new job.
[740] Showing up at 41 games to dance.
[741] I don't think they're at all of them on that.
[742] There's a great setup.
[743] You start dancing to espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
[744] The fans are appreciating it.
[745] This is nice.
[746] This is pleasant.
[747] Boom, music changes.
[748] Boom, boom, boom, pong, pong, get it, shake, shake.
[749] And you start twerking your little ass.
[750] Is this like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, though, where they don't pay you well?
[751] I have a idea.
[752] Absolutely.
[753] Ladies and gentlemen, anybody who performs regularly at an NBA, NFL, MLB, or NHL game, they get paid shit.
[754] It's like $50 a game or something like that.
[755] They don't do it for the money.
[756] No, you do it because.
[757] They get to go to the game.
[758] Free tickets.
[759] Wouldn't you love to go to the game?
[760] I'm just imagining, like, I'm just imagining Tim Reynolds writing his column and looking up like, oh, the golden.
[761] Is that?
[762] What the hell's Greg doing down there?
[763] I'm glad you went down this path because that's where my brain has been kicking around.
[764] Everyone's like, Greg, you should go.
[765] We should get some good content.
[766] He should go.
[767] What if he makes the team?
[768] What if he makes the team?
[769] What if he's a great thing?
[770] I think he'd be the captain.
[771] What if we're robbing people of your gift?
[772] I just got the thumbs up from Carl.
[773] We are doing this.
[774] You're leaving after this segment.
[775] So Greg, if this helps at all, Greg, they only perform 10 games per season.
[776] That's about nine too many for me. Does Greg have any sort of choice in the matter?
[777] or Greg.
[778] I don't want to do it.
[779] You can leave here early, head home, but just stop at this plane on the way there.
[780] What if they dance to Jimmy Buffett?
[781] Does that change the attitude at all?
[782] I'm a bad dancer to any song.
[783] Chris, I like this is a good opportunity to talk to, you know, some of your, you know, fellow dancers here about Fred Astaire and the like where you don't necessarily have those connection points here.
[784] It's like a real life back in my day.
[785] You get to have that conversation.
[786] Everyone else is just a chorus of yeses.
[787] And I remember that as well.
[788] This was a real failure from the commissioner because he could have leveraged this to get Greg the keeper rule paths.
[789] Oh, that would have been...
[790] Yeah, that's true.
[791] And he would have done it.
[792] Instead, he was actively against me. So you're in?
[793] Come on, content first.
[794] He said quite the opposite.
[795] We'll put a clip out for the Greg Cody show Twitter too.
[796] Dan's out of town so Amin is in charge.
[797] Amin, is Greg going to this thing or not?
[798] I'm telling you right now.
[799] I don't give a shit what's happening out there, what they're cutting up, what suey's they get coming up later.
[800] I need people.
[801] to accompany him to that tryout.
[802] Do we have...
[803] Will the heat allow cameras there?
[804] Are we just going to do this?
[805] Absolutely.
[806] I'll make the call.
[807] I'll call Spowe right now.
[808] But Greg doesn't want to do it.
[809] Spose the one to call.
[810] I'll call the one that gave us the list of centers that are better than BAM, whoever that was.
[811] If that Riley is judging it, I'll be there.
[812] How's that?
[813] Many people don't know that this is actually Spose Call.
[814] It falls under his responsibility as his head coach.
[815] I think Pat is trying out.
[816] Is Andy Ellisberg giving them a scouting report?
[817] There's a budget.
[818] and look, you can use this.
[819] You're a marking name.
[820] Greg, you should leverage this situation because football season's right around the corner.
[821] I don't know your situation with the bucket of death.
[822] I'm sure you have outstanding penalties still.
[823] God, I'm doing that again.
[824] Maybe you say, you know what?
[825] I'll go do this in exchange for nullifying two losses this season.
[826] This is a payoff.
[827] Hey, Billy, I've got an even better way of doing this.
[828] Greg, you know how, as Mike described, they start out wearing one thing, and then the music switches and take the clothes off and then they start doing a different dance or whatever.
[829] you can have a t -shirt underneath that says the Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody.
[830] And so then when you open your shirt, everyone else has like a golden oldies shirt, you've got one that's self -promoting.
[831] You get followers and listeners and subscriptions and likes and downloads immediately.
[832] Yeah, if I made the team, I would insist on that as a point, as a writer in my contract.
[833] When?
[834] When you make the team.
[835] Chris, do we have - This is awesome, so this is happening.
[836] Do we have details of what's expected?
[837] What's involved?
[838] How long do I have to be there?
[839] Does he just go and dance?
[840] The addition starts at noon.
[841] Registration starts at 11.
[842] The additions start at noon.
[843] Required attire a red, black, or white outfit.
[844] You have dance shoes on?
[845] I have a black outfit.
[846] He's got athletic shoes.
[847] What's on your shirt, Greg?
[848] What is that?
[849] It's a group I like, Tuts and the Maitals.
[850] You can talk about that.
[851] To Steeleman's saxophone.
[852] I'll dance.
[853] With the other people trying out.
[854] Forty -six was my number.
[855] It says dance or athletic shoes with non -slip, non -marking souls.
[856] All I have is my deck shoes.
[857] All right.
[858] Well, we'll just roll the dice there.
[859] Can you do a kick line, Greg?
[860] Oh, great question.
[861] Conga line?
[862] I can kick.
[863] Deck shoes are specifically designed to not mark.
[864] Are they?
[865] Yeah.
[866] That's why they're deck shoes.
[867] Oh, wow.
[868] What they do?
[869] We require six golden oldies minimum to be booked for all appearances, but you may book as many as 20.
[870] They can perform two routines maximum per hour.
[871] Golden oldies will interact and enthuse your guests.
[872] Golden oldies will sign autographs and take photos with your guests.
[873] Greg, that's right up your wheelhouse, man. You're waiting for this your entire life.
[874] So this isn't even for the games.
[875] This is for like just appearances?
[876] No, I think this is for the games, but this is just the guidelines and they're just like looking up to them.
[877] No, I think this is a side hustle.
[878] I think you can have the Golden Oldies out to like a birthday party.
[879] Can you imagine?
[880] Yeah.
[881] No, I think you're right.
[882] It's mostly games, but there can be other appearances.
[883] Greg, you show up to this thing.
[884] Mike is right.
[885] You show up, okay?
[886] It starts at 12, but you're done at 1205.
[887] You just show up and tell them you want to be on the team.
[888] You're on the team.
[889] Can I get a private audition?
[890] So I don't have to audition before.
[891] We'll send you there and we'll send Jeremy to, is Jeremy here?
[892] We're going to, we'll call Jeremy.
[893] I'll get Jeremy to go with you.
[894] He's in on those, with those heat people.
[895] Yeah, he knows the heat.
[896] And we'll just, we'll figure it out.
[897] This sounds like something Jeremy would love, by the way.
[898] Yeah.
[899] Just dress him up like an old person.
[900] He should.
[901] He would do it.
[902] Because he's theatrical, he loves to dance.
[903] We'll send him with you, and he'll be your handler.
