Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, Fat Face and the Habitual Liars.

This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Chris Cody, I don't know how you guys feel about the folks like Ethan or, for example, Jason, the director Jason. He has suggested that this not be a shirt Tuesday. He has suggested that because Mike Ryan is jealous of Billy Gill's Wild Willie Wednesdays, that Mike Ryan should have his own branding on Mondays.

And Jason came to me today, he's never done this before, and said, I have my own branding. Can you put that up somewhere, Jason? Can you put that up so that Mike can see that we now have mild, mild Mike Ryan Mondays or whatever it is that your branding was for this segment?

Not that. Not the hockey show. I guess everyone's an idea man now. Yeah, we'll get back to that in a second. It looks good. There it is. It's a bit of beef jerky of some sort. And it's Mild Mike Monday. And this was Jason's idea, everybody. Jason's idea. I see what they're going for with that sauce packet. I won't say the name of the company. How are you liking that, Mike? We all know what company he's going for there. Is that the branding you want, Mike? Jason was working on it all weekend.

I don't like it. Okay. So we won't do that. If Billy doesn't like Wild Wednesday, we can't win around here. He approached me after the last Wild Willie Wednesday. He's like, hey, I know they were joking about it, but I'd really like to do this for you. I'm like, no thanks. I'm good. Above and beyond. He did it anyway. Yeah. He's like, nope. So...

I don't get my like manic Mike Monday would be something. I don't want a day. But mild Mike. Why mild Mike Monday? I think because he's trying to go the opposite of wacky. I'm just like, I'm good. I don't need a day. Thank you. Cut to Jason. Take. Take three. Today's a good day to listen to me. Take it off.

Just take it down. Please. Thank you. It's growing on me. So we will get back at some point to Mild Mike Monday. Clear it. I mean, you guys haven't been listening today. Clear it. Right now it's Shirt Tuesday. Greg Cody, I want to just marvel at Roy. You guys did understand. You guys saw Roy.

That in the second clip that we played, Roy never stopped talking and you heard not one single word that he said. Roy was trying to broadcast through the delirium. And Roy, did you get a word off that anyone heard? A word? I don't think I heard myself. It was so loud in there. Okay. So what got achieved there? Probably nothing.

You get the ambiance of the place that we're in. It's the Day Flamingo, formerly known as Casatiki. Thank you for housing us for the live stream. But it was loud. I just could not hear myself talk. Roy, that's where you got to lay out the great broadcasters. Let the crowd tell the story, right? All of a sudden, you hear the roar of the crowd. Once it simmers down, all of a sudden, Brad Marchand scores. I'm no Doc Emmerich, so yeah, you're right.

But how does this work, though? Has Casa Tiki or the Dead Flamingo ever had quite this much hockey in its bones? No, I don't think so. But I was watching videos. I don't think I've ever seen so much ass being thrown. Place was electric. There was a lot of ass being thrown. There's nothing like the Dead Flamingo on a Friday night, baby. Trust me.

Wait a minute. Ass was being thrown? Yeah, Roy was throwing ass. I thought that the Panthers took ass. That's what Zaslow told me. We've covered this on Mystery Crate. Roy doesn't wear a wedding ring, so it's confusing out here sometimes for the ladies. Roy doesn't wear a wedding ring?

It was stolen. That's what he says. How long ago? The wedding day. But you should see him out in the wild. When did you get married? I don't know. We've done this story before on the show and on Mystery Crate, but we can rehash it. You can't go get another one. It's only one. Only one. I'm with you, Roy. I feel you, dawg. 15 years. Yeah. You don't need it. Yeah, that's true. I don't need it. You don't need it? I bring that up to say, sometimes on a Friday night when Roy's out...

People get confused. They start throwing it. Chris, just so that you understand, okay, even though the story's been told by Roy twice, to some it might be a new story that he had his wedding ring stolen on his wedding day, perhaps not to just be skipped right past because it does make us want to ask follow-up questions, right? Like on your wedding day, I'm guessing you immediately get in trouble with your wife. No.

No, because her ring got stolen as well. And my ring got stolen. Apparently, I was followed home and she was followed home the night before the wedding. And somebody broke into our car. Because we were all at this wedding. And if you guys all remember, it took a while to start. And it was because they were looking for rings.

It's a horrible story. It really is. Like, truly horrible. Awful. And he's been married for like nine years. It's like, I'm not going to, I just, it got stolen nine years ago. It's kind of beautiful in a way. It's like it's the material things of the world don't matter. They got married and I don't know what they used in substitute for a ring, but it could be a really beautiful story. That's why you don't replace it because nothing matters to their relationship other than them, Roy.

I'm fighting for you, baby, because you're in a bad way. Oh, come on, man. I'm fighting for you, baby. Well, I did go to the Walmart next to Hard Rock Stadium and bought a replacement ring for real, real cheap. It's where you get them. Okay, that just hurt my heart. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. No, I don't want to be classist about this. I love it. I don't want to be elitist about this, okay? But when I just don't think...

Walmart with engagement rings and I may have this wrong. This may be just, I haven't been in Walmart in a while so I don't know what their jewelry situation is. You asked like a cashier like where are your wedding rings at? Yeah, that's exactly what I did. So forgive me, do I have this wrong when I ask the question legitimately of if your wedding day has your wedding ring stolen and then you have to go to Walmart to get replacement rings. That's good luck they say. That sentence is good luck?

That sentence I just said is good luck. Well, I've been married for 10 years, so. Happy anniversary, Roy. Thank you. So she wears a ring, but you don't. Correct. I've asked her, hey, maybe I should get a wedding band. I actually just like three or four times in 10 years. Like, no, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I don't wear a wedding ring. What's the big deal about a wedding ring?

I need a reminder that I'm married. And you're fighting him off too, though. It's the public show of your taking. His narcissism runs so deep on love. He thinks the ring is the reminder that he's in love. I mean, why do you wear a wedding ring? I'm asking all my fellow married people out there. Because you're taken. You're not available. My wife really likes it. On Friday at Casa Tiki or at the Dead Flamingo. My wife really likes it. When ass is being launched by trapeze across the floor. Yeah.

It is a little reminder. If ass gets launched, you catch the ass and then you feel something. Not only do you feel the ass that you caught, but you feel a little ring that says, hey, why'd you throw that ass back? I'd like to know again whether Latin...

Hockey is now a thing in the depths of Dade, South Florida, when Roy can't be heard because at a club I associate, at a place I associate with Latin, the place is paying enough attention to what would normally be a soccer game to hockey for me not to be able to hear Walter Cronkite over here delivering the news. Oh, Marchand! Marchand! Oh, breakaway! Oh, breakaway! Breakaway!

You heard Ethan, though. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

- Oh my God. Why can't we hear anything he's saying? - I love that Cynthia, like 40 seconds in there, just gives to Roy, like, "Roy, something good happened." - Wake up. - Metal Ark Media, somebody, I'm imploring you, stop Ethan now. If you guys let this keep going, if you let this keep going, it won't get better. It won't get better when he's around microphones.

Roy is trying to speak, and I can't hear him. But Ethan mics work fine. And that's exactly where a show gets torn apart, soap opera style, because the third voice comes for the first voice, and it gets cutthroat. I've heard Ethan's opinions on hockey more than anyone here. God almighty. God almighty does Ethan want his opinions heard on hockey. I got to defend Ethan. In that moment, you want chaos. You want screaming. Like, you don't want just laying out for Roy. Roy was trying to broadcast, and Roy...

I couldn't hear Roy. You couldn't hear Roy. At one point, I hear Game 2. I hear Roy say at one point. Anyway, moving on to other things. I've moved too far away from Greg Cody's feud with White Hat. It's the most attention I've gotten from him in about six months because he wants to go right back at White Hat because it allows him to promote his podcast and delve into his every narcissism because he's got a feud. And this...

Hockey final has felt less good than the last one when he inserted himself in the middle of the final with McDavid is overrated Yeah so he's holding on to the embers of this particular feud to broadcast to to promote your podcast with your feud with white hat that I was told by Chris I would find disappointing

that I would find your feud with White Hat to have died a little bit on your podcast. I would say that because Dan, you know Dan, he likes to, when he gets people like, hey, you guys were, you know, they both said things. That's a good point, Greg. There was a lot of, hey, I see your side of it type stuff. Look, they were cowards, the What Chaos podcast. They were cowards by not inviting me on to defend myself. So being the bigger man, I invited White Hat

onto my podcast in the episode that dropped today.

And we had a conversation. You know, we had a conversation. I think at one point he did reluctantly apologize for having called me Cena. I mean, you also praised Conor McDavid. So you guys were both kind of like, I see your side a little bit. Yeah, I praised Conor McDavid like I always do as a prerequisite for saying, but he's still McOverrated and will be until he wins the Stanley Cup. Has he won the Stanley Cup yet? No, I don't think so. It's 1-1. Him being defiantly stubborn on, well, my point's not wrong yet. No, it isn't.

As a matter of fact, he's writer and writer with every step he takes closer to not winning again. Now, had they lost the other night and they're down 2-0, I might not be quite as loud on the subject today, to be perfectly frank. The one thing I do want to play from this was our promo video that we put out. I guess Yeti did this without—this was a good job by Yeti—without even talking to me, he had my dad, hey, go in the garage, do some promo talk, I'm going to put together a thing.

So I want to play our promo video for White Hat versus Senile Old Man. And I want you to tell me how many beers my dad's had. Thank you, Henry. I wanted to have this guy on the show and respectfully thank you, Henry.

I would have put two forks through my eyeballs. Pete Blackburn, it is time to dance to the music. You went on your podcast and called me a senile old man. But he's a senile old man. Okay, you know what? Because you didn't have the nerve to have me on your podcast to respond to that. And I would have put forks in my eyeballs and spoons straight through my ears. So here's what happened.

I demanded that you be on my podcast to dance to the music. Dance to the music. And that's happening when we drop Monday morning. Will you apologize? I doubt it, but let's find out. It's a good promo. It's a good promo.

Great job by Yeti. Yeah, good job. Your tongue is pretty heavy. That was great. That part's great. Blackburn singing. I am mortified, mortified by the shape of your garage. The area you're prowling around with is so disgusting. I know, the door could use a paint job. That door, the paint has been coming off that door. No, that door has looked like that for 30 years. That's a door? Yeah. Yeah.

David Doerr. Roy's... No, if you have to explain it. If you have to explain it, David Doerr, Roy's... No, you can't. It can't be. You have to explain it. That is a bad door. Greg, how are you not embarrassed by this? Chris, how many beers did he have when he did this promo? I don't know. Why would he even say that? Was I slurring my words? A little bit, yeah. Your tongue was heavy.

All right, let's watch this again, this wrestling promo. This is the height of it. It doesn't get better than this. But just, no, look at the whole garage. Do me this favor, okay? Try not to be distracted by his bloated, drunk face and his just general narcissism. He's not denying it. He just sat back and took that accusation. Did he have you do that yesterday afternoon? Greg, how many beers? How many beers did you do? How many beers did you do? I can't remember. I don't keep track. All right. I wanted to have this guy on the show and...

Respectfully, I would have put two forks through my eyeballs. Pete Blackburn, it is time to dance to the music. You went on your podcast and called me a senile old man. But he's a senile old man. Okay, you know what? Because you didn't have the nerve to have me on your podcast to respond to that. I would have put forks in my eyeballs and spoons straight through my ears. So here's what happened.

I demanded that you be on my podcast to dance to the music. Dance to the music. And that's happening when we drop Monday morning. Will you apologize? I doubt it, but let's find out. ♪

Blackburn singing in the dead of night. That part made me laugh out loud. That door looks like it's out of the original Saw movie. I was thinking the same thing. That is a place where people are tortured and die horrible deaths, nothing but suffering till the very end.

His face is terrifying when he says that kind of thing. Imagine him leaning over and you're like, ah! Everything happening there is haunting Connor McDavid. Dad should be fearful that that cometh his way. This is my dad in a nutshell. It's a horrific looking door and then Wild Bill Cody's cane. That's right. Paying homage to his father right above it. I want you guys to enjoy the celebration. There it is. Cody in all his power. Seven beers in on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty good guess.

Seven, eight beers in, that door, tell me it's not out of the movie Saw.

Can you show me or play for me any of the podcast Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, his feud with the white hat? I just can't still get over the fact that Greg, while being accused of being a senile old man earlier this week, started this episode talking about a colonoscopy. I just I still can't get over that. I'm not pandering to anybody. You know, I'm talking about what goes on in my life.

The photos of my colon. Okay, we don't need to get into it. You need to put those in a frame in the Louvre. That's how wonderful my colon is. How many polyps? I had as many polyps as McDavid has Stanley Cups. That's nuts. Okay, that's what I want to say. Okay, and I don't mean to rub that in, White Hat.

We just kept calling him White Hat the whole episode. I couldn't remember his name. You think the joke is so good about having as many championships as you have polyps that you should make it? Yeah, it's a good line. It's good. Yeah, it's really good. It's strong. It's a strong line. It's strong. That number is three. I mean, you know, most people have a couple of polyps, to be honest with you. I'm a 70-year-old man. Do you know that? I have a beautiful colon.

I'm going to take your word for it. I had as many polyps as McDavid has Stanley Cup. It's a fact, Jack, right there. Actually, you got it right. Good job. Thanks, Roy. Have you guys talked about redoing the door? Has there been a conversation about redoing that door? No, there hasn't. I know. I like it. It would be weird, this ambiance. It's a garage for a man to be manly in there. In the picture of him, he looks like a deranged cassowary, and it makes me so happy. Thank you.

Oh, no. Damn, damn, damn. Stugatz. I disowned him. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here dishing out limp dap? This is the Don Labatar Show with the Stugatz.

I want to get back to for a moment here because of how much I enjoyed the weekend, just sports being maximum sports and specifically what tennis does at its best because there are no teammates in tennis. After five hours, no one's coming to help you. You're in a historic match.

And it's got, you know, you're in what you're in the middle of. And I can tell you the stories back to heavyweight fighting, George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, all of sports leadership throughout time will tell you that the other person wants to quit too.

The test of wills that is five hours in, you're tired, but you want something just as badly as they do, it stops being physical, becomes some sort of mental meditative state, and I would assume the very best of the best love it there. Love it there. We've just been talking about the theater, but there are some people in our audience that are hearing about this match and how good it was via our show. We must tell the audience that

Sinner had triple match point three hours into this match, and Alcaraz battled all the way back. In fact, after Alcaraz won in the fifth set, there was a graphic that said, "Time since Yannick Sinner's triple match point."

This was an incredible comeback. I understand both people want to quit. One very clearly wanted to quit less, and that was Alcaraz. Except the thing about it that was so impressive and enjoyable to me is they're both...

incredible champions that fought back. Because normally in a situation like that, you get like a collapse. There were times, so once Alcaraz fought all the way back and took control of that match, Senna's limping around, grabbing for cramps, but then retakes the match. And we're like, damn, Alcaraz did all this and he's not going to win. Then Alcaraz takes it all the way back and Senna fights back. That's the mental toughness that I was speaking of that's so incredibly impressive. And then it also was made even more enjoyable because of the clash of styles.

like center's a giant smashing server power um tennis player and alcaraz is this ridiculous he has power too but he's this ridiculous athlete that's twisting the ball on these absurd angles and gets to everything like it's just so fun watching what looks like a wildfire versus a snowstorm and you don't know who's gonna win and that's the part to me that got that just got me so um like entranced by this game or this match

I have to say, I have to give a shout out to Coco Golf, though. I mean, we're talking about the men's match, and rightfully so. It was a marathon. It was epic. Coco Golf, who's from around here, lives about 90 miles north of here in Delray Beach, California.

She just won her second major at age 21. She can be what we've been missing since Serena Williams retired. She can be that. I'm not saying she will be, but this is not a false alarm. Coco Gauff is that good. She just beat the world's number one player.

It was two one versus two matchups this weekend, not just the men. Yeah, and Goff, I think she's been on the scene since she was about 14 or 15 years old. And I think we had expectations of her being as good as Serena. And again, I hate to keep harping on this mentality stuff, but particularly in these individual sports, for someone that young to deal with the level of disappointment and frustration that she's dealt with. And we've seen other athletes and tennis players specifically not be able to deal with it.

for her to still be around and not have reached this Serena level and still be competitive in a match like yesterday or the day before where the wind is blowing. It's a tough situation. And it essentially broke Sabalenka. She still fought through. I wanted, though, to address what you're saying there, expected to be Serena. Like, that needs to stop. We shouldn't do that to anybody. You really shouldn't do that to anybody.

To anybody. It's an unreachable standard. And it hurts WTA. It really does. I mean, just that can't be it. Like, we're going to go ahead and concede, yes, that's the most powerful force I've ever seen in that sport. Totally changed it in terms of it becoming a power game.

Because it's not like Sabalenka's not playing power. No, she's strong. But I think today's story is going to be, instead of about Goff overcoming that strength, Sabalenka's sore loser. And so now a women's match that pales to the men's match only because the men's match was epic for all time. Yeah, probably the second greatest men's match. But no, what happens is Coco Goff's winning gets lost in that. Like, can't even get out of the tennis thicket.

of being celebrated the way that it should be for someone who can never and will never be Serena, no matter how much she wins, because that ain't fair to do to anybody. But to make clear, when I say she can be the next Serena, I don't mean, I'm not counting majors. I don't mean she can win 15, 20 majors. What I mean is I think she has a chance to fill the vacuum and become the acknowledged face of American women's tennis. I think she has that.

I think she does have it already. I don't know. Keys, I mean, there's a couple of other women who are in the top ten.

- It's pretty clear, it's cocoa. And what was so cool about the French Open just on both sides was you had finals, one versus two in each side, which on clay, it's such a variable that is hard to predict and there are so many specialists that you don't typically get that. And to have one versus two meet in the final in both sides

and also for those matches to deliver, it was a great weekend for the sport. I also thought Turner knocked it out of the park as a first-time rights holder. They were fantastic. I think it was a huge victory for Goff, and the reason is that she won the '23 U.S. Open, so it's going on two years now. When you win one major and you don't win a second one for a couple of years, even though it's just a couple of years,

maybe some doubts creep in you know so the fact that she won that second major I think is huge and Sabalenka was on incredible form she was absolutely mowing through people winning tournament after tournament so for Coco to stand in front of that and and take Sabalenka's best shot and make Sabalenka seem like a sore loser yes which is also changing the narrative remember the the the Olympic moment that Coco Goff had where she kind of gave off sore losers so for her to come out of that and and

put the shoe on the other foot and for Sabalenka to have this moment honestly it's a little disappointing because I think both are great it was big for tennis too not just golf oh yeah

I mentioned golf. No, no, no. Sorry. It wasn't you. It was a great golf weekend as well. Canadian open. Was it? I want to get back to Coco golf here, explaining that this trophy is a little small. It's a bit like a water bottle. It is. Yeah. I don't have this wrong, right? That as tennis took over sports for a day or tried to around what basketball was doing last night, um,

You had an epic men's match, one that you remember because it's just stretching your day out, your morning out. And then you've got Coco Gauff winning a trophy where she ends up being the, is she going to be the fourth story? Because Sabalenka's sore loser talk is something that people are going to turn into the story of her winning this tiny water bottle trophy.

I need a little...

Yeah, I guess to compare it. It's really small. So reference, this is a peri-gate bottle. This is a cup. That's how small it is. But, you know, it's the memories that matter the most. French Ova not liking that. Is it the memories that matter most or do you want some good...

You want some good hardware there. Like, how much is that? I think it's a prize pool money. That matters the most. Not only is it small, but it just sounded flimsy. The way it opened, it sounded very flimsy. But do we know very little about perhaps fine, fine merchandise like this? Is it possible that this is very well made and worth thousands of dollars? It should be. Should it not? It didn't sound like it. It sounded like tin.

I mean, I'm sure it's pretty valuable because they only give out one every year for each side. So it's probably pretty valuable. It's not something I think you would, well, I guess to put in a trophy closet is perfect. I bet you guys could look it up and find out what that is actually worth because I'm going to guess it's worth thousands of dollars. You guys think it's aluminum or made of tin? You think it's $99. You think you buy it in the same jewelry place that you buy your Walmart engagement stuff? Out of gift shop.

You think that's $99.99 I can get that trophy if I just go to Amazon? Right next to the oversized tennis ball.

Does Walmart have a jewelry department? Yes. I never knew that. You sound classist. I already did this. I already apologized for this. Where were you when I... Well, you also brought it back to it, Dan. It's in the middle of the store right behind the registers. Okay. I was in a Walmart yesterday for the first time in years. Didn't even consider that you could buy a ring there. That's crazy. Were you not here when we just discussed this? Did you discuss that Walmart has a jewelry store?

Were you not here? No, I don't remember that being discussed. Shirt Tuesday. I mean, old white hat there. It was on to something. I don't remember that being discussed. Maybe I was doing show research. Sometimes I do. Sometimes when you say, Greg, quit typing. It's loud. I'm doing show research. But he's a senile old man.

Okay, replay. Minor penalty, two minutes for not listening. No, replay when that was discussed. I remember him saying that he bought his ring in a Walmart. Greg, I said I'm going to sound classist and elitist here. I was not aware that they sold engagement rings at Walmart. Yeah, that's not the same thing.

That's not the same thing as asking whether or not they have a jewelry department. You can sell a ring without having an entire department devoted to jewelry. Did you not hear the penalty? No, I hadn't heard that either. Minor penalty, two minutes for not listening. It's true. You know what? I accept that penalty because I wasn't listening. Well, thank you. Oh, thank you. Thank you for being kind enough to accept the penalty. The penalties I don't agree with, but this one I can't.

The shirt looks great, though, buddy. The small replica trophy is made of pure silver. Thank you. So at 14 kilograms of silver, you take the market price in. This is all courtesy of artificial intelligence, by the way. So it may not be right. Raw material value of around $11,000 to $14,000, if that is indeed pure silver. That's not true.

The men take home a similar sized trophy, right? I think that's the only way that it would offend me is if somehow they send... Typically, although Nadal did receive a full-sized replica in 2017 after winning his 10th, a unique honor. Okay, yeah, that's fine. You got to get 10. I'll allow it.

Thank you for allowing it, Chris. I will tell you guys that I got scared there that all of a sudden because I don't know the value of or weight of gold or silver that I have from last week a scar on me from thinking that a million dollars worth of gold would weight down a car so much that it couldn't move. And then you guys told me, nah, it's about nine pounds worth of gold.

When it came to silver, I was scared that you were about to say, no, it's made of pure silver and you can get it for $12 because whatever. I don't know that Nadal's is that size, though. You're telling me, like you're saying, I know he got the real one. Nadal for his 10th. One time. He got a full-size replica. The male trophy has to be the same size, does it not? Yes.

Were you crossing your fingers, Chris? For us. In terms of being a much smaller replica, yes, that's the case for the men's. Am I an asshole for, and is Greg an asshole for not knowing that Walmart had a jewelry department? I think. It just shows that you guys don't step into Walmart.

I mean, it's not a new thing. Like, I feel like Kmart had a jewelry department when I was a kid. Like, the same sort of stores always had a jewelry department. Walgreens? Yeah, I'm not sure that I... Service merchandise? Ah, service merchandise. Sears? Mervins?

We're in agreement that it is a horror story beyond horror stories to have on your wedding day a robbery that steals the ring and then forces you to go to Walmart or anywhere in an emergency to have a part of your wedding day be trying to retrieve something that was stolen from you so that you can have a memory of the day that doesn't feel taken by somebody.

Yeah, my mom blamed me for it. Going to Walmart just feels rushed. It's not that I'm judging going to Walmart. In that spot, if a ring is stolen, this is a big purchase. All right, we're going to slow down here. We're going to take a beat. We're going to get married, and we'll get a ring a later date. Hopefully it wasn't short, but...

But I might be alone in this and understanding that at that moment, it feels terrible. But I kind of think it's a cool story overall. At the end, it's like when you have this different ring, you're like, hey, let me tell you how this happened. It's much more exciting than my wedding ring, wedding day story. They just were there. And I put them on. Pretty boring. Being a victim is exciting. Yeah.

You guys are putting a good face on it. Being a victim is romantic and beautiful sometimes. Dominique did say earlier it's beautiful. I think it is. It is memorable. I will give you memorable. Like, if it were a ring that, like, stood out, was unique in its quality, and people are like, hey, it sparks a story. Like, why does Roy have a lime green plastic ring? Well, let me tell you, Princess Claire, about the day me and your mother got married. What?

It was a tough, a heroin story. But now I left my car unlocked. Ten years later, we're still together. And that's all that matters. But if a wedding ring is indeed a symbol for love and nothing more, the idea that you would have the intimate and violation of having it stolen when symbolically it meant something to you as a gift to your wife that was forever to have it immediately stolen symbolically.

Not beautiful. I think it's beautiful. We can agree to disagree. We can find, I mean, to each their own, I guess. It's human. I think it's beautiful. Greg returns breathless from his penalty with his books in tow and his publicity in tow. The Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody. I thought you were going to say featuring.

Featuring Greg Cody. Featuring Greg Cody. We have more sound from his beef that went polite with White Hat. It seems like we're stealing all the material and not giving anybody any reason to go check out his podcast. Oh, there's plenty more in there, believe me. We don't have another clip. We had the promo wrestling video where he's hammered, and we had the one that he wasn't hammered. No, I wasn't hammered.

I play along. You know, when people say things like that, what am I going to do, argue? I wasn't hammered, okay? The NBA finals last night corrected themselves, and I would have said after how amazing game one was that I would assume that what will happen after that is the same thing that happened when Allen Iverson stepped over Tyronn Lue to beat the Lakers in Los Angeles a million years ago and then lost in five games.

Because, yeah, I think that's what's going to happen here. But what a charming thing that Indiana did in Game 1. I think it's what most people expect to happen. But when Indiana wins Game 1 and wins that way...

It makes it at least a more interesting series. It's the best possible result you could have gotten in game one, and then it corrects itself because OKC never loses two in a row. They always do that. They haven't lost two in a row since like 2023. Wow. That defense is asphyxiating.

Halliburton and everyone on that team. I remember watching the game last night and feeling like Siakam was having a good game. And then he hit a bunch of free throws, but then I looked at the box score afterwards and it was like, he was three for 11.

He was the most productive, it felt like, or effective play creator who was getting into the paint. And he himself was getting destroyed. Well, I want to ask you guys how you feel about when you're watching playing for the championship. We've talked so much. Shea Gildress Alexander is not going to work for the storylines you want on narratives when the markets are 25 and 47. Right.

How am I going to sell to the American people? Hey, you know how this thing wins? It chokes you out. It just chokes you out. Your offense will be extinguished because they've got athletes and like, look, I don't know how to measure what Lou Dort does, but you're going to go three for 11 if you're Siakam and it's no knock on Siakam. Dort or Chamber? Chamber.

What I'm saying, like, how do we sell that as next phase for the league? Nobody was doing that on narrative when they tried. I think game one did plenty to sell this series to the American people, and I...

I do kind of think that looking at the ratings or arguing about the ratings is relatively lame. And I know it's a crutch for people that don't watch a series because I used it for Buck's Sons when I did not watch that series or care about it. And I just pointed to the ratings as affirmation. See, I'm not the only person that doesn't care about this, but it doesn't matter. Like the landscape of television ratings has changed so much that

You just kind of got to totally disregard that. I'll worry about ratings when the broadcasters and league worry about ratings. Exactly. And same point too. Ratings are for dorks. Who cares about what the ratings are? Does the ratings change how the basketball is being played? No, it's just the billionaires that own the companies are like, damn, the ratings are down. What do I give a shit about that? I saw great ball. If you're not watching for the ball...

What are you doing? You're watching for the ratings? What are you, a dork? Talk about some ball then. You're worse than talking about ratings and talking about people who talk about ratings. That's what I'm saying, but I had to make my point known. Do you like ratings talk, guys?

I don't like Randy Stark. Okay, just making sure. I want to talk some doors. But he's telling you, give him some ball. He doesn't want some. Give him some ball. Give me some Wiggins. Excellent. So what do the Pacers do better than anybody else in the league except for Oklahoma City? I'm not here to take a quiz. Exactly right. They come back. Well said. Not only do they come back, they use their bench great, right? You can look at...

eight nine ten eleven guys on that pacer team be like they can score they can do their things who does it better oklahoma city they finally showed it yesterday aaron wiggins with 19 points caruso with 20 points you have all these scores that come out of nowhere and fill these roles and then you have sga who's just efficient and quietly putting up 35 points a game where it's like oh okay this is really easy when you pair that with the best defense in nba history i know he had the moment game one but it seems as though halliburton against his defense is having a

really difficult time two games in. And it may be too much to overcome. That being said, they did steal one on the road. That's all you do is steal one. Yeah. And like Zaz mentioned on Friday, no matter what, they're going to have a game where we can level this thing up 2-2 back home at the very least. Halliburton didn't even play that well in game one. I think he had like 15 points. He just happened to hit the game winner. But

I will say Gilgus Alexander to me is a breath of fresh air. He's a breath of fresh air. I love his game. I love that the MVP is a mid-range jumper guy who gets to the foul line. We're not always talking about threes, draining threes. He doesn't care that much about threes. Wonderful. Good for the NBA. Very good for the NBA because he's different than the usual star. Disagree on all counts, including how you said his name. Okay.

You don't like that somebody who has a mid-range jumper can win an MVP in the modern NBA? I don't like the free throw stuff as much. Free throws and defense don't excite me.

Well, you're spoiled. You're used to something else. I mean, I think the pushback, so the SGA stuff is really fun because it's unique. I think that's also why we find Yoki's particularly fun because it's unique. It's not something that we've become accustomed to. But I think that we are trying to pretend like we're some level of ball lovers that we're not when we don't, when we're not honest about...

The best shit to watch is somebody slashing and banging and doing exciting stuff that we grew up falling in love with. Like, we can pretend that SGA is something we love, which, no, not pretend. SGA is something we love, but you cannot lie to me and tell me that you wouldn't rather see Minnesota go off in that situation.

Well, of course. When you watch Anthony Edwards and the way he plays, you're like, oh, yeah, that's it right there. That's what the MVP should look like. But then SGA goes for 38 on 11 of 10 shooting. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Are ratings for dorks? Is it about knowing and speaking ball? Lou Dort, I know his name is not actually Lou, but that is the least imposing name that has ever had a dork. Should go by his full name, Lou Gens. Lou Dort.

Doesn't work for me as imposing defense. Is it Dort or is it Lou? It's the Lou that it's... The Lou... The Dort for me. It's Dort. One syllable. Lou Dort. Is it the two syllables? There's something about Lou Dort that doesn't work as a Dort your chamber device. I feel like it's the or in it. That's like, it's not... I think it's the whole two syllables of the thing. You think so? Yeah. Lou Dort. Lou Dort.

I think it's those specific syllables because I feel like you could hit somebody with something sharp if you had sharper syllables. It's just that it's like, the best in the door. The baseball player, Ed Ott. Is it as funny? Ed Ott? No. See, it's because it's sharper. It's Ed Ott.

It feels punchy. But one syllable, Lou Dort, we're in agreement, right? That Lou Dort doesn't give off intimidation, but we are disagreeing about the fact that we're not going to know how to cover a team that just strangles you to death. Like, how is that storylines and drama? How's that next face of the league stuff? I mean, when they have the MVP, it goes beyond just that. Right. Why are we afraid of this? They also score a lot.
