What was the reaction to Dave Hyde's layoff from the Sun Sentinel?

Zach Zaslow 0:00
Zaz, what was your reaction to seeing Dave Hyde say that he had been laid off by the Sun Sentinel?
Dan Le Batard 0:08
I guess not surprised, but didn't like it. I think Dave Hyde's fantastic. He had been really good to me over the years, and yeah, I guess it's disappointing, but not surprising, right?
Yeah.
Zach Zaslow 0:26
Am I led to think that Greg Cody's secretly happy about David being laid off?
Greg Cody 0:32
I reject the implication of my inner voice. And I was surprised, if we're being honest. Yeah, I was. Would not have been surprised had he just said, I'm retiring. Very surprised that the Sun Sentinel had the audacity to lay him off. That, to me, was surprising.
Dan Le Batard 0:52
Is it true, Greg, there's a rumor going around? I don't know all the context. But there's a rumor going around that when someone arrived here this morning, they saw you in this room by yourself on the phone, and you said, we won.

How does Greg Cody feel about his rivalry with Dave Hyde?

Greg Cody 1:06
I cannot confirm that. We did. I cannot confirm that at all. I have nothing to do with that. Oh, we had plenty to do with it. What's going on here? The last cowboy standing. All right. Yeah, I am the last cowboy standing. Although I'm sitting right now. Cuddled up next to our wife. I should be on a horse. Gave her a nice spoon from the back. Said, honey, we won. All right.

What does Dave Hyde reflect on regarding his career and the state of journalism?

Greg Cody 1:40
Inner voice, you're fired. I want a new inner voice. What am I, Dave Hyde? Oh, God. What a great day. All right. This is going off the rails. I have nothing but respect for Dave. Thank you, Sun Sentinel, for having the courage. Courage? Yes. The courage to do the right thing.
Zach Zaslow 1:59
Honestly, it should have been done years ago. We could have called this race long ago. I'm the man.

What are the implications of layoffs in the journalism industry?

Zach Zaslow 2:07
Did what needed to be done.
Greg Cody 2:11
Okay. Hey, that's what I'm talking about.
Zach Zaslow 2:24
The hockey man. The Panthers not being in this, it hurts to watch what is happening in the hockey as it elevates to another level. And I just can't imagine what it's like to be in Canada and watch Tampa and Florida, now Vegas, overrun the sport.
Unknown 2:42
Somebody call for a hockey man!
Zach Zaslow 2:45
How are you feeling about Jordan Stahl today?
Unknown 2:48
I hate his ass! This is totally unfair to the Florida Panthers' legacy. In retrospect, we'll look back on this and say that we're on borrowed time, dude.
Zach Zaslow 2:59
Will we? Because what we're watching... I hope so.
Unknown 3:01
God, I hope so. This sucks.

How does the panel react to the erosion of traditional journalism?

Zach Zaslow 3:03
What we're watching, and when I say what we're watching, the ratings are pretty spectacular.
Unknown 3:07
It's on network television.
Zach Zaslow 3:09
That was awfully close to the mic.
Unknown 3:11
It's not an apples to apples comparison. The last one was on TNT. Everyone wants to mention the ratings. It's, you know, it's just more bullshit propaganda.
Zach Zaslow 3:26
There was some heartwarming video. I think I can make people love Carolina by just showing the human connection between a goalie and his parents. I believe that I can make you love Carolina with a little bit of sweetness. Would you like a little sweetness with your hockey?
Dan Le Batard 3:43
Yeah.
Zach Zaslow 3:44
Yeah, I like that kind of stuff. Can you guys get for me the video? We will get to Greg Cody here in a second, and we will get to all the Knicks stuff.

What memories does Dave Hyde share about his experiences in sports journalism?

Zach Zaslow 3:54
But here is your winning keeper last night. The series is tied 2-2. You're with me, right, on this, Zaz? Canada has to be suffering deeply to watch just Tampa. Tampa wins the championship. Florida wins the championship. And now playing for the championship is Vegas and Carolina. And all of it's offensive if you like invented hockey and you see it overrun by all these regions that are, you know, hockey come lately's.
Chris Cody 4:24
You invented hockey. Be better. It's such a pain. It's such a misery. Be better. Your teams suck. They get to the finals.

What does Dave Hyde say about the people he met during his career?

Chris Cody 4:30
They lose. Like, who cares?
Dan Le Batard 4:31
It's every year at this point, though. You know, it's all like, oh, my God.
Zach Zaslow 4:35
No, but you say it's every year, but I'm talking about the specifics of the team. It's one thing if the New York Rangers are beating you or the Islanders are beating you. Yeah. Vegas, it's Florida, it's Tampa, it's Carolina. Canada looks down at these places and say, we go down and visit those places wearing socks and flip-flops. We walk on the boardwalks and then we go back to our icy tundra where we invented the sport of hockey. Go ahead and give me all the ones that are smaller to you in feel that would be more offensive to hockey traditionalists than the four I'm mentioning.
