The Big Stu-ey: Greg Cote... The Singing Sportswriter (w/ Stugotz and Hochman) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: With Stu Gatz and Hockman. I mean....
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's been a while, huh?
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: People thought we'd go an entire week without a With
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Stu Gatz and Hockman episode.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Shame on you, whoever thought that. Should we.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: We have some news that Taylor doesn't know, but you
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: and I know, and it's kind of exciting, and I
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: was thinking maybe we should tease it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: And, uh.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: and see what his reaction is. Yes, I have told Taylor.
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: I haven't given him any details. I just said we
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: have a surprise. Listen, it was funny, Taylor, because Hawk
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: texted me the surprise. And I responded to him, did
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: you tell Taylor yet? And he said, no.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I said, you should send it to him. He'll get
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a great yawn out of it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: But I do believe, and I did tell Taylor this, Hawk,
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: that I think this surprise, I'm not certain anything, any
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: surprise we could offer Taylor would make him happier than
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: the surprise we're going to offer him today.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Well, a baseball team contacted me. And they wanted to
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: gauge my interest in a with Stugatz and Hockman bobblehead night.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Which, obviously, tickles my fancy.
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And they even sent some mock-ups. Here's what we're thinking,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and we have to get a sponsor, and so on
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: and so forth. But we'd like to have you guys
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: out there. And I don't want to mention the team.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I don't want to give you any more specifics. Stugatz
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: kind of had a brilliant idea where you also are on.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: The bobblehead and you're yawning.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: It's the first time he's been legitimately excited.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I just perked up for the first time since the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: show started. I mean, Taylor, and I will tell you this.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You don't have to drive that far. Can I say that?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Can I say that?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Imagine.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Imagine his Marlins thread when they find out that there's
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a With Stugatz and Hockman bobblehead night featuring a yawning
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Taylor on the bobble.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: We're going to have our own night, Taylor. We're going
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: to go out to the ballpark. It's going to be me, you, Hock,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: and Ricardo, I think, because Ricardo is the only one
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: who loves baseball and bobbleheads more than you do. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: this is, listen, you yawn when me and Hock talk,
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: and I understand why.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: But we are two bleeping legends, man. I mean, we're
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: getting our own bobbleheads.
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: So Hawk, my biggest question is just what would I
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: be wearing in this bobblehead? Because I recently went to
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: a Marlins game and somebody approached me and they said, Hey,
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: do you want to go on the Jumbotron and play
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: one of these games? And I said, yeah, I'm wearing
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: a Yankee hat. They said, you have to take the
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: Yankee hat off and put something Marlins on. I go,
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: Probably not.
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: You stood your ground.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Was that Jeremy Taché that did that?
• 2:54
  Speaker 10: 100%.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: It's always him, I guess. Well, that's something in the works.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So we appreciate all the With Stugatz and Hockman listeners,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: because that may happen.
• 3:07
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Taylor, was I wrong?
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: That delights you, right? Like a bobblehead night for me, you,
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: and Hock at a baseball game, man.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So if this happens.
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: You could cancel Christmas because there is no better gift
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: you guys.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Could give me. You're getting your own.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: If you never did believe in Santa Claus, you just
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: became a believer.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's more excited just to watch the baseball game.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: It's getting close. It's getting close.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: We have, speaking of merchandise, new additions to my son's
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: merch store. I'll start the podcast out with that because
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: there are now tumblers and beer pints.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Mmm.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So imagine I'm drinking a smoothie right now. Imagine you're
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: drinking from a With Stugatz and Hockman bottle.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Tumblr. I mean, the time of your life.
• 3:54

  Speaker 9: Really?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Honestly, they happen to be very like the logos. My
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: son made happened to work well on the tumblers and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the in the pints.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: And as Solana was pointing out on the radio show,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: That's a perfect white elephant gift. Yeah, at the office,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: you got to get a $ 20 gift for someone. You
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: get a Tumblr with Mark Hockman's sports comic. I mean,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: people won't know what hit them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I want someone at Meadowlark to buy that. That's a
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: white elephant. Let it open it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: There's a really cool one with the old 790 logo.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I think that one's badass, man.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I remember that. Yes, very nice.
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Anyway, it's up at horsemuffins.com.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Speaking of money and subscriptions and stuff, I want to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: celebrate Greg Cody today on the podcast because he's been
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: a long-running member of the Dan Levitard Show back from
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: when I started in 2004.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: And I had known.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Cody because I was just friendly with Dan, obviously, in college,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and Cody was– you know, often around us because he
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: would come to some of our events.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: You know, he was like he was an adult already.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: We were kids.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: But to see I wanted to see how many years
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Cody wrote for the Herald because today was his final column.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And so I went to Chris Cody's Twitter because I
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: assumed he had a link to Greg Cody's tweet. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: didn't know what Cody was on Twitter.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I went to Chris Cody's Twitter. Chris still subscribes to me.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: On super followers.
• 5:54
  Speaker 12: Huh?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: On Twitter.
• 5:56
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Because it says in purple, subscribes to you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: So I sent Cody a DM today going, hey, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: deactivated that account.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Over a year ago.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: He's still paying for it. Elon is charging.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: You $ 2.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: 99 a month. You might want to get your money back.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Which is really a great way of explaining just the
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: podcast game and subscription game in general. How many subscriptions
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: do you have for $ 2. 55 a month, whatever it is,
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: where you just simply won't cancel it because you just
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: don't want to, you know?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: It's just not worth the effort of canceling, right?
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: And that's my hope with horsemuffins.com.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And this podcast.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I did want to celebrate Greg Cody.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Someone had DM'd us with Cody being let go from
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the Herald. Shouldn't you do a podcast about him? And
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I did have that in the works. His farewell column
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: is in the Herald today. 54 years of writing. Greg Cody.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: 54 years.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: So we featured him on the show. At the beginning
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: of the show, it was once a week. And he
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: would come on as the singing sports writer.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: And it was a way for Dan to give some
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: extra publicity to a friend of his from the Miami Herald.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody who he looked up to as a writer, but
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: also as a friend.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: A mentor.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yes. I mean, yes.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Really kind of showed Dan the ropes at the Herald.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: They're very, very close. I became very, very close with
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Greg Cody. I love him dearly. What an amazing run
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to do 54 years of anything.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Incredible.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Incredible. It really is.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: This is the old Greg Cody open we used to
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: play when he would come on with the show once
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a week.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: And now a man whose singing ability is eclipsed only
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: by his writing ability. Straight from the newsroom at the
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Miami Herald, it's the one, the only singing sports writer,
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: Greg Cody.
• 8:00
  Speaker 14: He's getting knocked down.
• 8:02

• 9:13
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And Dan would introduce him as the singing sports writer.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: And Cody put a lot of effort into writing his song.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Of course he did.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: He took great pride in the songs that he was

  Speaker 2: With the big voice?
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: He was the best.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: Amazing.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: He was honestly the best because he loved what we

• 10:15
  Speaker 3: one of them this was uh a Christmas carol, The
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Dolphins Were Playing Poorly, and he sang a little song
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: about the Dolphins.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Gone to hell, gone to hell, stumbling all the way.
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: Oh, what fun it is to watch the.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Dolphins' offense play. Hey, gone to hell, gone to hell,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: a season.
• 10:34
  Speaker 12: In the mire.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, what fun it would be to see Dan Henning
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: set on fire. Dashing through the field, one check down
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: at a time. It's third and 12, but Chad Henning
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: dinks a pass.
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: Behind the line.
• 10:48
  Speaker 16: The offense plays like crap. The field, it seems so steep.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Hey, over there, the guy with the first down marker
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: is asleep.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, gone to hell, gone to hell.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Miami's out of the hunt. The busiest man on the
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: whole damn field is lining up to punt. Oh, gone
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: to hell, it's another long field goal try.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, what a treat.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: The settling dolphins take more three-point shots than the heat.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Really well done.
• 11:17
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: That's really well done. Well written.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: That song rings true for just about every dolphin season.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: And we didn't know what he would sing when he
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: was coming out with us. He would just have a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: song ready, and Dan would say, all right, give us
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the singing sports writer. Give us your song for the day.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: This is one, I guess, Roger Clemens and the steroids
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and all that was in the news. And so Cody
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: brought a little music. You can hear a touch of
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: it in the background. A little Rocket Man from Greg Cody,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the singing sports writer.
• 11:49
  Speaker 17: Oh, I think it's gonna be a long, long time
• 11:53
  Speaker 17: before anybody believes that he's not lying. He's not the
• 11:59
  Speaker 17: man they think he is at home. Oh, no, no, no.
• 12:04
  Speaker 17: He's the Rocket Man.
• 12:07
  Speaker 12: Rocket Man denying.
• 12:09
  Speaker 17: Steroid use out there. Yes, we think it's going to
• 12:14
  Speaker 17: be a long, long time before Roger Clemens' name is
• 12:18
  Speaker 17: free of slime. He tried to phone trap his trainer.
• 12:23
  Speaker 17: It didn't work. Oh, he's such a jerk.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Roy D.
• 12:28
  Speaker 12: Mann denying HGHL. Wow, I wanted more lyrics.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I wanted more lyrics, Cody. That's so rare with your songs.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 12:47
  Speaker 16: I caught you with Roidy Man.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Roidy Man is mine. Roidy Man. It's delightful. Roidy Man,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a wonderful twist on the lyrics.
• 12:57
  Speaker 18: Yeah, well, thank you.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I think we may end up doing another cody episode
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: because there are so many songs and i didn't want
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to bog you down with 50 of them today but
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: there's so many songs that he has performed did he
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: still do songs like so i left that that's in
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: like 2004 2005 i'm right yes um i think i
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: left the show yes like eight years later or so
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Was he still doing a song every week for I
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: think short term?
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: He did him after you left for, you know, a
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: couple of years and then he became just a bigger
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: part of the show where he was coming in.
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: He was co-hosting one day, two days a week.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: He started something called Back in My Day, which was fantastic.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: That I love.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: You'll love this. We went out to Vegas. We did
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: two live shows. At the same place you just went to,
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: we did them outside. What was the name of that hotel, Hawk,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: that you went to?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Circa.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we went to the Circa. We did two live shows.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Greg Cody and his band were performing live, kind of
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: like a side act to what me and Dan were doing.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: It was fantastic, yes.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, I remember seeing that on social media. That's the
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Hee Haw 3, I believe.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Hee Haw 3.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: Jeremy's second mention, this podcast.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Taché has all of a sudden hijacked the podcast.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The hee haw.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I remember this from in college before we started the
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: radio show.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Dan used to love having Cody tell the story of
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: being a little league umpire and punching out little kids
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: with these just over the top punch outs.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: He loved calling the third strike on a seven-year-old.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: He really did.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Nothing like punching out a seven-year-old in Little League baseball
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: with an over-the-top call. Anyway, we could do a million
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Cody songs, but I want to get it spawned some
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: fake Cody songs and black Cody songs. But before we
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: get to the songs, Greg Cody, I think, as I've
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: been doing my research for this podcast, he must have
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: been the birthplace of Mark Hockman sports comic. Cody used
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: to write a column, and I don't know if it
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: was once a week or once a month, but it
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: was essentially one-liners. It was hacky one-liners.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: And Dan, I remember, said to me, why don't you
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: have him read them on the.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Air as like a comedian, and we'll see how it goes.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: And I think this is probably where I got the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: idea for Mark Hockman's sports comic. So this is Cody
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: coming on, instead of doing a song– He's going to
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: read some of his sports one-liners.
• 15:37
  Speaker 16: Hey, the NBA draft is tonight, and Milwaukee's on the clock.
• 15:40
  Speaker 16: It's not definite who the Bucs will pick. The only
• 15:42
  Speaker 16: certainty is that Rashid Wallace will argue the call. A
• 15:50
  Speaker 16: 7'8 Chinese player, Sun Mingming, hopes to be drafted. To
• 15:54
  Speaker 16: better his chances, he has begun calling himself Birdie. That's
• 16:01
  Speaker 16: a weird story with FSU quarterback Wyatt Sexton, huh? Tallahassee
• 16:05
  Speaker 16: police stopped him for behaving erratically, and he identified himself
• 16:09
  Speaker 16: as God. That's when cops arrested him for impersonating Bobby Bob.
• 16:17
  Speaker 16: You know, speaking of weird, haven't Michael Jackson and Mike
• 16:20
  Speaker 16: Tyson become all but interchangeable as examples of pop culture
• 16:23
  Speaker 16: gone awry? Remember how Tyson once threatened an opponent that
• 16:26
  Speaker 16: he would eat his children? Isn't that sort of why
• 16:29
  Speaker 16: Jack was on trial? Hey, congratulations to Shaquille O'Neal for
• 16:42
  Speaker 16: that master's degree from the University of Phoenix. Sure, that's
• 16:46
  Speaker 16: a for-profit, mostly online college that some might even call
• 16:50
  Speaker 16: a diploma mill, but how about you tell Shaq that?
• 16:58
  Speaker 16: The Florida Gators fizzled badly in the College World Series
• 17:03
  Speaker 16: when it mattered most. Hey, when did Ron Zook start
• 17:05
  Speaker 16: coaching baseball?
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Are we done?
• 17:13
  Speaker 16: This is sad.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The U.S.
• 17:14
  Speaker 16: Women's soccer team has cut longtime star Brandi Chastain from
• 17:17
  Speaker 16: its roster. Good news, though. They've offered a full-time public
• 17:21
  Speaker 16: relations role to Chastain's sports bra.
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: Hey, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
• 17:26
  Speaker 16: Remember to keep your feet on the ground and keep
• 17:29
  Speaker 16: reaching for the Miller Lite.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Good night, everybody.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: So you can see where Mark Hockman's sports comic was birthed.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, Cody is your inspiration.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: My inspiration? I said, I think I can make this
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: even worse.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Dan and I are laughing there, but we're laughing at
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: how poorly it's going. But I remember asking Greg, and
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: he goes, they're funnier in writing, in print.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Greg Cody being on the show singing songs birthed
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of fakes. Fake Cody, though, became a regular...
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: contributor to the show. Do you remember who fake Cody was?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I don't, man.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: That's a great question. I do not remember. I remember
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: weird stuff. You know that by now. I do not
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: remember the fake Cody.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Who was it?
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Fake Cody was Mike Marchand. Oh, that's damn. How could
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I forget?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: And he was, I honestly, he rivaled Greg Cody. Mike
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Marchand worked for us. He was one of the board
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: ops and producers.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Very funny guy. Yes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Very funny guy. He worked as hard as Greg Cody
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: did on the song. Like when he would call in
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: and you'd see fake Cody on the line, you'd go, whoa,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: we got a winner here. We didn't even have to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: screen it. Like it was always good. He had a
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: couple of legendary calls, songs, ER maniac.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Do you remember that one? Of course I do.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yes. One of my favorites.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: So it was about, uh, Dontrell Willis.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: And what happened was fake Cody, uh, would call in
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and had music behind him. And he forced Greg Cody
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: to start using music behind some of the songs that
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: he would do because he wanted to keep up with
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: fake Cody who had a better production element than him.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, which the real Cody hated because he just wanted
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to do the minimal amount of work and put his
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: song out.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: This is fake Cody, a legendary Levitard show song, E-R-A-N-I-A-K.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: So good.
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: Oh, oh.
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: Just a black boy on a Tuesday night looking for
• 19:46
  Speaker 11: his victory.
• 19:48
  Speaker 15: Hitters can't even see any of his balls. They say
• 19:52
  Speaker 15: he is lanky. Blocking on to follow Duka's glove. Changing
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: movement on his fastball. He has pitched a total of
• 20:02
  Speaker 15: three complete games without the help of the Wizinator. He
• 20:07
  Speaker 15: can strike you out in three with the help of
• 20:11
  Speaker 15: Mark Wiley.
• 20:12
  Speaker 19: 4.08 is not his base salary. E-R-A-N-I-A-K, E-R-A-N-I-A-K on the mouth.
• 20:22
  Speaker 19: And he's twitching like he's never bleached before. E-R-A-N-I-A-K, E-R-A-N-I-A-K
• 20:30
  Speaker 19: on the mouth. And his slider's sliding like it's never
• 20:35
  Speaker 19: slid before.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Now, admittedly, because I know Taylor probably enjoyed it because
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: it's about Dontrell, but you probably don't know the song
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Maniac from Michael Cimbello.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: There's no way. No, I actually do know that song.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, you do?
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: You know what movie it's from?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Dirty Dancing?
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: That's a very good guess.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Flashdance.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, close.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: And Flashdance with Jennifer Beals.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: He hasn't yawned yet, Taylor. This bobblehead.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: It's the bobblehead.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: He is so engaged now.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: It's also Greg Cody. Like, there is nobody who loves
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Greg Cody more than me, I think.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I do.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: What a run he had. Amazing run, yes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: On the Levitard Show, still going, but in the Miami
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Herald as well. I mean, it just doesn't happen like that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I texted him, Hawk.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: I said he's on my Mount Rushmore of South Florida
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: sports columnist.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I did, and he is. He should be on anyone's
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: So who would it be? It's got to be Edwin Pope.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Edwin Pope, for sure. He has naming rights.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Well, Greg.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Dan, of course.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: It goes without saying that Dan is on there.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: He's one of the best columnists and journalists that we've
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: had in our industry.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: So, yes, it goes without saying.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: He's not on mine, though. I'm surprised to hear that
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: he's on yours. I felt bad. Who was the fourth spot?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Dave Hyde's got to be in that conversation.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Dave Hyde, probably. Barry Jackson. Would Barry Jackson like a word?
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: He's not a columnist.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: More reporting on media stuff. And he's given more opinion lately,
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: but not really a columnist.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, big difference between a writer and a columnist.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: A columnist was always what... what a writer in the
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: newspaper was striving for, because then you didn't have to
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: just write the facts of what you observed.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: You could write your opinion.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: And so that was reserved for special people.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Like Edwin Pope and Cody and Dan. Dave Hyde did
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: it for years and years and years.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the fourth one, because Hyde, Pope.
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: Oh, no, no.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I think we have it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Cody, Pope, Hyde, and Levitard.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Well, not for you, but.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Who did I read? Frank Cherubino in the Palm Beach Post.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Wasn't really sports.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: I can't really think of a fourth name that would
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: even rival any of those four.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Those are the four guys I read. Mike Berendino, maybe?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Remember him? I don't think he was a columnist, was he?
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: No, I don't know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Charles Bricker? Ooh, Charlie Bricker. Jim Sarney?
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but Sarnie said there were two papers. There was
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: a Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. There was a Miami Herald.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Do we still have that?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Yeah, we've got the Sun Sentinel and
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: the Herald.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Sarnie did for the Sentinel what Barry was doing for
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: the Herald, correct?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Sarnie was doing for the Herald... what Tom Jicka was
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: doing for the Sun Sentinel. It wasn't until those old
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: goats retired that Barry Jackson started writing about media. It
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: was Tom Jicka in one of the papers and Jim
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Sorney in another one.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: The Jicka man. Anyway, that's Greg Cody.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: This is Fake Cody, another famous Fake Cody song when
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: he sang about Ronnie Brown. Remember, who was the running
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: back tandem? Who was the running back? It was Cadillac.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown. Yes, both guys from Auburn.
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: I believe.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Cadillac Williams, yeah. Went before Ronnie Brown, right? I think so, yes.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: To the Bucs. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: So here is Fake Cody with his Ronnie Brown song.
• 24:26
  Speaker 18: Ronnie, Ronnie Brown, who are you?
• 24:29
  Speaker 17: You're just a Cadillac's backup.
• 24:33
  Speaker 19: Ronnie, Ronnie Brown, who are you?
• 24:36
  Speaker 18: You're just a combine phenom.
• 24:39
  Speaker 19: Nick says you run, you catch, you block, you score,
• 24:41
  Speaker 19: and even play a little fullback.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Little fullback.
• 24:46
  Speaker 19: But at the end of the day, Greg Cody thinks
• 24:48
  Speaker 19: you're just a Buick. Buick, Buick Brown, who are you?
• 24:54
  Speaker 15: You're just a dolphin's number two overall pick.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So good.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Very well done.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: We used to use just Buick, Buick Brown as a drop.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: We used to drop that in all the time. Here's
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: one more from Fake Cody. This is a song about
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Cam Cameron. Believe it or not, this is a song
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: about wanting Cam Cameron to come and save the Dolphins.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Because he was an authentic guru with the Chargers, and
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: we were like... Cam Cameron will fix all the Dolphins' problems.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: We need Cam Cameron as the head coach.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Turn your thumb this way. That's right.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: This is fake Cody with his Cam Cameron song.
• 25:44
  Speaker 18: They've been flying in your face all the way. Dolphin
• 25:49
  Speaker 18: fans need a coach that will stay.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: We need a.
• 25:54
  Speaker 18: Man with some conviction. We need a coach with cantaloupe.
• 26:02
  Speaker 18: He needs to sell our play action. We need a
• 26:08
  Speaker 18: pro from San Diego.
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: Camera, camera, camera, camera, camera, camera.
• 26:14
  Speaker 18: Runs on fourth and one.
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: You'll never punt. Scoring would be easy if you could
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: come coach our team. On fourth and goal. Avoid McMichael.
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: Did I mention Hudson Hawk's already here?
• 26:34
  Speaker 18: Before he came, our O-line played so queer.
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: Dom Capers. Is not sufficient. Malarkey is super suey. Please
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: bring LT. Please bring LT.
• 26:53
  Speaker 18: Camera, camera, camera, camera, camera run on fourth and one.
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: Don't throw to Hagan. Scoring would be easy if you
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: could come coach our team. On fourth and goal, don't
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: send a lindo.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Just a perfect song choice.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Derek Hagan reference, too.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: And a Mike Malarkey.
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: Hug, do you ever have the thought, like, all these
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: people had this creative outlet with the show to call
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: in and use the songs, and... since that kind of
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: has gone away, it feels like we have been cheated
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: out of so many great songs and like, where, where
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: did all these people go?
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, that guy worked on the show, so
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: they all went to social media is where they went.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: It's actually a very funny observation, Taylor, uh, We started
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: using texters.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: There was nowhere for people to go who would listen
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: to Hank Goldberg's show or any of the sports shows
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: that were stalwarts in any market. There was no outlet
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: except phone calls, right? For listeners to participate. But every
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: host of every sports show only wanted serious sports calls,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: questions and takes, right?
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Opinions.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: And obviously all you have to do is look at
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: social media nowadays there is a wealth of creative people
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: who didn't have an outlet right and we started to
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: see on the text line whoa people are funny like
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: they were firing off one-liners or ideas and we would
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: start using it in the show like it was like
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: great jump off points which is when all of a
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: sudden the callers started to become creative And then the
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: callers really were driving the show for a couple of years.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was really a caller-driven show, but it
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: was the creativity of the callers.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: And you saw it a lot with Jim Rome as well, right?
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Jim Rome would use callers to get the vibe of
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: his show, right? Have a take and don't suck and
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: do the smack off at the end of the year, whatever.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: But social media, I believe, if you want to know
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: where everyone went, Like.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: You can go through, you can flip through social media
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and see one creative thing after another where you're like,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: oh my God, I can't believe how much creativity is
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: That's where they all went.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You want an outlet, create your own. That's, that's really
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: where we're at right now.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: And so with the, by the way, those texts that
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: came in, the text machine was great. I stole so
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: many of their lines on the show.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But the songs, they just kind of, they went away.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: But what I loved about.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Our show and the conversation, that we created with the listeners, Hawk,
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: they were trying to outdo one another.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And that's when you're really onto something.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: It's really– I mean, it's almost the American Idol theory, right?
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: They're trying to impress the judges more than anything.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: They're trying to get laughter out of you and Dan.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, correct.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Like, that's the– they're trying to get, oh, my God,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: that was fantastic. You know, the way that– the first
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: time you heard fake Placido Domingo or fake Pavarotti or,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: you know, the fake Cody became that, like, you know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: you were looking for this seal of approval from the
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: judges who were harsh judges, by the way.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Like there was nothing more fun than shitting on a
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: caller who you knew had spent 20 minutes writing a
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: song that just blew.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: I'm not certain which was more fun was shitting on
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: a caller who worked that hard or an actual good song.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Fun for us and fun for the listeners.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: But, man, it was like this seal of approval. If
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: you got the nod from Dan and Stu Gatz, it
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: was a big deal. Greg Cody spawned Fake Cody. He
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: also spawned, and I couldn't find anything worth playing, but
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: he spawned.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: John Bon Cody.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: It was a couple of attempts from somebody that that's
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: one of those things where.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Better name than actual delivery.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Great idea, bad execution, yes.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, you'd see it up on the call screen, John Boncote,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: you go to it, and it was just, it didn't
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: do well.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: You saw so much hope.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: And then such disappointment when we brought him on, yes.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Sometimes the packaging is just so much better than the product.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: But it also spawned Black Cody. Black Cody, and here
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: is a sample of Black Cody's work.
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: The heat is one. It's 3-2 now. I'm happier than
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: Michael Jackson in a boys camp. Van Gundy's smart, but
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: he looks like Ron Jeremy. Now Larry Brown is down.
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: Who needs a maid when you got a butler?
• 31:43
  Speaker 13: Damon Jones is the three kings. Shaq is a beast.
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: We'll feed in Motown.
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: Thanks, Rasheed.
• 31:53
  Speaker 13: We love the points.
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: I saw you kneeling down, the patch in your hair.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You need to see Dr.
• 32:00
  Speaker 13: Shapiro. Weight is hurt, but he'll be back. He'll be
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: back in a juju. When the Pistons get beat and
• 32:11
  Speaker 13: the Heat prevail, Charles Barkley will finally have his baby. Because,
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: because it's the Heat.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Very nice effort.
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: Go, Minnie!
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Very nice effort, Black Cody.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, just really good stuff. So that's our salute
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: to Greg Cody. And again, we'll do another podcast where
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: we celebrate more of Greg Cody's actual songs. But what
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: a career he had with the Miami Herald. We wish
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: him well in his future endeavors.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Should we do that second episode with Greg Cody? That
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: would be nice.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Can we? Well, I don't know.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Cody once invited me on his podcast, The Great Cody Show.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: This was several years ago.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: And I said, are you sure that Dan's not going
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: to get pissed at you for having me on?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: And then I never heard from him again.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: So I think, I don't think Greg Cody thought about it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: And then he probably shot Dan a text and said, Hey, if, uh,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: if I have Hawk on the podcast, would that bother you?
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I'm guessing the response wasn't very positive.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: And I never, I believe if I checked my messages,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: that's the last text that I ever got from Greg
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Cody was me saying to him, are you sure it's
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: not going to piss off Dan?
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yes. And now we're asking him to come on a
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: show with both me and you.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Let's wait until the bobblehead comes out.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes. Big stories, right?
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: Feels like the rare non-answer answer.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Never answer answer.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to see if I have a saved conversation
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: with Greg Cody.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: I congratulated him. I told him he's on my Mount
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Rushmore list. of South Florida sports writers.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: And he goes, you're damn right.
• 34:00
