Chapter 2: What were the immediate reactions to Chris Grier's firing by the Miami Dolphins?

222.098 - 229.45 Tony

The broadside, huh? Broadside of what? He just didn't want to repeat exactly what Jeremy had just said moments before. So the quote that he sent to everybody.

0

229.43 - 234.272 Chris Cody

I have an exact quote right here. Benetti wouldn't know a keychain if it bit him in the ass.

0

Chapter 3: How does fantasy football stress affect players according to the hosts?

234.312 - 235.678 Tony

There are zero.

0

236.06 - 238.933 Chris Cody

Just one chord that makes it feel like a change.

0

239.774 - 246.242 Tony

An indignant Yeti on behalf of his vigilant protection of no key change.

0

246.863 - 250.967 Chris Cody

In all fairness to Yeti, what the hell does Jason Benet know about key change?

0

250.987 - 263.002 Tony

That's true. I wanted to ask you guys something here before we get into the matter of the Philadelphia 76ers and are they really going to be better? We let that slip, Tony. Yeah, no, no, no. It's a long day.

263.222 - 266.406 Chris Cody

Just know I heard that. No, no, I know. I felt the horse's master.

266.386 - 271.232 Tony

Well, you guys are all in a state of disrepair here because of last night.

271.433 - 294.643 Tony

And I will say, because I don't want to move away from it too quickly, even though it is self-involved, and even though you guys are always making fun of me for the amount of time that I spend cornered at those things, or you say I'm cornered even though I'm deeply appreciative of our customers because they allow us to do the things that we do and being fiercely independent here at a time of great media turbulence.

294.683 - 295.144 Tony

We are...

Chapter 4: What rules do the hosts emphasize for betting and drinking responsibly?

399.832 - 403.8 Chris Cody

How you doing? Can I get a picture? So salute to the fans. But I remember.

0

404.922 - 412.257 Tony

That seems like that's the opposite of salute to the fans. I remember and I'm muscular and I'm strong and I'm bigger than you.

0

412.237 - 417.985 Chris Cody

Keep the energy. If you're going to have the energy to call me out on names online, when you see me, say the same thing.

0

418.005 - 442.058 Tony

Well, this is much easier to do anonymously. Look, the internet has created all manner of acid and poison that there's no accounting for that has changed. Even the athlete says, I mean, says, and Juju says, like, they're different today than they were before in protection of their brand because of how it is that people can be on the internet. There's a cruelty to it, but...

0

443.455 - 455.731 Tony

One of our contest winners yesterday in a sheepish moment came over to me and said, yeah, first time I heard him on the show, I texted in. His name should be Pablo Borre.

456.772 - 459.235 Matthew Berry

That's okay.

459.295 - 462.018 Tony

That's a good line.

463.88 - 465.502 Matthew Berry

Oh, man.

465.522 - 476.095 Tony

All right, it's getting worse and worse. You're doing it worse and worse on purpose so I don't keep going to it. Like, I see your move. Even though I can't see your face, I see what's happening there.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the feud involving Jason Benetti and Yeti?

680.832 - 685.458 Chris Cody

Is that something that could be replicated where the coaches can get younger? because of the information that's being shared.

0

685.498 - 711.803 Tony

It's a job generally that requires the respect of the employees. So in baseball, for example, what has been problematic from that position in the past is players who do not like a manager who wasn't any good as a player. Like that was something in the previous age. that my manager better have been somebody who was good at baseball. Otherwise, why is he here telling me anything about anything?

0

711.823 - 729.48 Tony

But this shift has been so dramatic. Is it something that's happening in basketball? I mean, because Eric Spolstra was a young man. We've seen him get old, but he began this job as a young man, and he began this job specifically as a young man who was going to be a bridge to the front office.

0

730.221 - 753.963 Chris Cody

I think... when you are a player or the players in the NBA, there is a level of built-in respect that happens when you're a former player. You get through the door immediately, okay, I'll hear you out. But then once that initial respect is over, the thing they respect is preparation and knowledge, right? You are ready for every scenario.

0

754.323 - 771.93 Chris Cody

And that's the thing where the non-playing coaches, they might have a higher level Barrier of gaining the trust, but typically the reason why they're there to begin with is because they're very prepared and they know what they're talking about. And so that's the stuff. So when you talk about Spoh, talk about Mike Brown, right?

772.21 - 788.788 Chris Cody

Like these are all guys, Brad Stevenson, obviously, Brad Stevenson, excuse me, when he was coaching. These are all guys that weren't players, but the players really respected, man, this guy really knows his stuff. Like when I ask him a question, he's got an answer or an idea.

788.768 - 814.838 Chris Cody

Now, when you don't have that, when you lack that ability, or if you lack an ability to be inclusive in decision making, that's when they start to turn. It's the holiday season and the 50th anniversary of Miller Lite. The holiday is all about spending time with friends and family. Why don't you sit back and toast a few Miller Lites? Make your holiday time tis Miller time.

815.078 - 833.45 Chris Cody

Chapter 6: How are young managers changing the landscape of baseball?

1776.932 - 1788.625 Chris Cody

That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule.

1788.926 - 1790.688 Unknown

Never pee-pee on an electric fence?

1790.908 - 1806.72 Chris Cody

Don Levitard. Well, Charlie sent, Charlie had this, Charlie, as far as I know, so just Charlie's title in my phone. Are you going to say anything?

1820.762 - 1836.621 Tony

Stugatz. How familiar were you at the time with Chewbacca? Like how your upbringing had how much Chewbacca in it? This is the Don Levitard show with the Stugatz. Oh, look, the horse wants its music. The horse wants its imaging.

1836.942 - 1837.182

Mockingbird.

1838.461 - 1857.756 Tony

Matthew Barry! Matthew Barry! Matthew Barry! Matthew Barry. He's giving away money. I'm not kidding you. He has all of the advantages, all of the inefficiencies. Matthew Barry, what do you have for us this week? I'm writing it down because you are the only reason I'm not losing money on the weekends.

1857.776 - 1868.653 Tony

I've been losing money on the weekends for several years now because I make too many bets on things that are wrong. But you have information that's better than mine. So let's hear it.
