Why was Greg Cody laid off from the Miami Herald and how did he learn about it?
I'm a little worried Roy about how today is gonna go because we've got uh the laid off and off laid uh Greg Cody with uh Offlaid.
You got laid off?
I did get laid off.
I'm so sor I'm so sorry to hear that.
Yeah. So That's the other reason that I'm worried because Trista's here and she's fiddling with the buttons and there are some things she knows a lot about and there are some things she doesn't know anything about. Were you not aware that he was laid off from the Miami Herald after fifty four years of good service?
No, it's very awkward.
Yeah, in fairness to the Herald it was only forty seven years full time.
Uh I don't think that we necessarily need to be fair to the Herald on this one. Forty seven years, fifty-four years. Would you like to share any of the details with Trista uh so that she can get outraged on your behalf the way that the entire uh market and audience did and created uh quite the rapy cac.
Yeah, I think the controversy wasn't so much that I got laid off, but I got the news on my birthday from somebody I had never met at the corporate level as opposed to somebody who I worked with and uh and and the timing was bad. You know, I just started my thirty sixth year of of uh NFL picks in the Herald and and if if this had happened a month ago it would've been better and you know, it's just it it's just weird all the way around.
On your birthday.
Yeah, have a happy birthday.
Do you think they knew?
No, I've no no no. You'd if they did you'd think the guy would have said I know it's your birthday.
First off uh happy birthday. Just wanted to lobby a call for that.
Exactly. Well
also
Happy Birthday to him I don't care.
Yeah, and they did lock and they didn't care. But that's okay. Uh that's not okay. Yeah, I have thick skin like an alligator.
I don't know if I would have said yes to being in this room if I knew you were laid off.
Uh And off laid according to uh
Offlaid, you're not getting laid anymore?
Oft
offlaid. Oh
boy. Off OF T. Oh I thought it said oft as well. Often laid it. Often. Yes. Okay. Bull boy.
Oft laid. Oh boy. This is why I'm worried about today though, Zazlow, okay? Because uh Trista and I haven't done the show uh with this seating arrangement before. I see, I'm reminded actually, I don't know if you guys remember how truly, truly confused and terrible what uh Mina Kimes was at the beginning of just not understanding Is that right? Oh my god, oh my god, dreadful. Like the worst we've ever had. Really? Really? Yeah, no, and it was always funny. She didn't know how to do it. She was a business reporter. One of the funny things about what's happened is that Mina has gone from business reporter to gas bag, and Pablo has gone from gas bag to business reporter. And so when Mina came in here, she just doesn't know how anything works.
And that's the other reason I'm worried about today, because Trista's trying to talk to you guys with the buttons, and she's pressing all the wrong buttons over. Yeah.
No, it's all good. Greg's got a handle on everything. Damn right I do.
How come you can't hear me at all, Chris? I c keep pushing every button.
We're getting
there. Yeah, I'm worried about what how this is gonna go, but I wanna ask uh the rest of you this question as we celebrate Greg Cody a little bit uh today. The fact that it was on his birthday makes everyone mad when that's kind of random and silly. One day a year, uh uh Greg is sitting here telling you if they'd done it a month earlier, they would have missed his birthday. But what they still would have done is him talking to someone he's never talked before by phone. Like that's more insulting to me by Miles then they didn't know what day his birthday was. You want it on Zoom? I want someone in person who he knows to tell him with some feeling why that happened, not the chief revenue officer.
Like over Ceviche?
Um, I would have liked something even casual. Like um my direct boss, the boss of the sports department, John Devine, is a wonderful person, a a great man. I love him as a boss. Devine, you might say. Yeah, he he is. And I would have liked him to have had the information and been able to tell me one on one.
