We take you back to a better time in the show's history, a time, at least for me, where I was happiest, because we were at ESPN.
You're the old white guy columnist who always castigates the athlete for misbehaving and for urinating on sportsmanship. What side are you on in this? Well, I want to make two points. Number one... I mean, back in my day, I used to build forts. You know, Fortnite was nothing you stared at. It's something you built with your hands, like Man 101. Please explain the hard network out. Well, I've missed so many of them. Apparently, I don't know what a Hard Network Out is. For some reason, the listeners seem to enjoy it when I miss a Hard Network Out. They all enjoy it. But it doesn't happen intentionally.
Hard Network Out was born out of necessity.
We had to adhere to network clocks. Oh Gott, Greg ist einfach überrascht von allem, was in diesem Studio passiert ist. Dan und ich haben es am Anfang bemerkt.
By the way, I will say this. Greg has been a breath of fresh air for our show. The audience loves him. The staff loves him. I love him. But he has no clue what the hell is happening and what we're doing every single Tuesday that he comes in. And so we noticed it. We thought it'd be funny to try to cut him off at a hard network out. We were still at ESPN, so we had to be out by a certain time at the end of every hour. And we figured Greg eventually would catch on to the fact that we're asking him questions at the end of every hour with about four seconds to go on the clock.
I made the imaging. I took a gold horn that the New York Islanders had in 1996 and then I spliced it together with Papi.
It's Dan, Stu and Greg Cody on ESPN Radio.
And there you have the imaging for the heart that broke out.
Has Greg ever asked you guys, like, why do you keep cutting me off?
He still doesn't know. No, he keeps talking through them. We're taking advantage of an old man. He doesn't know what time in the show we are, even if I'm wearing a clock that says so on a baseball cap. Eventually it got so bad that we're like, okay, we're just going to make this a joke and we're going to see how we can trick him into tripping over this finish line. And it's never once been faked. Everyone thinks that some of them are so perfect that we must have maneuvered him into position with him acting with us. Never. It's never faked.
Für mich ist Hard Network Out nur ein bisschen wie mein Vater auf diesem Show, weil es etwas ist, was der Publikum immer gedacht hat, dass es falsch ist, aber es ist nur mein Vater, der nicht wirklich versteht, was wir hier tun. Und deshalb ist er einer der besten, ich denke, der beste, noch mehr als Stu Gotts, der beste Charakter auf unserem Show, weil es kein Charakter ist. Ich fühle mich einfach so ein guter Beispiel für dich auf diesem Show. Du bist einfach, du bist dich selbst. Du bist kein Charakter. Ja. Du wirst nicht lernen. Selbst nach dem zwölften Mal, dass wir dich in sechs Monaten bekommen haben, wirst du nächste Woche einfach wieder aufstehen. Und du wirst es wieder vergessen.
Und das ist ein wunderschönes Ding. Dan würde nie mit einem Hatt mit der Klappe zählen. Er würde direkt auf Greg schauen, mit einer Klappe, die bis zu Null geht. Er würde schweigen, dass die Klappe nicht woanders war, wo er sie sehen konnte. Und selbst wenn wir alle diese Ausgaben entfernten, Er wird diese Dinge nie ändern.
