Local Hour: Dan Gets Racist Again

28 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: Why is Dan's recent comment considered more racist than before?

0.031 - 13.357 Chris Cote

No, Greg Cody is hovering over the penalty minute thing. This would be the most delayed penalty in the history of delayed penalties. What are you threatening to press there? What are you doing? What are you threatening to press? No, don't do that.

0

13.377 - 18.888 Unknown

Wow. Minor penalty, two minutes. Accidental racism. Oh, yeah. Wow.

0
0

21.85 - 23.993 Jonathon Zaslow

Tyrod Huntley. Accidental?

0

24.274 - 25.936 Greg Cody

Had to be done. Wow.

27.078 - 36.772 Jonathon Zaslow

All right. There you go. That's how we're starting today, huh? How about me and my dad getting haircuts yesterday without knowing we were getting haircuts? A couple of Codys just randomly getting haircuts.

36.792 - 39.416 Greg Cody

Yeah, well, you knew I was because I asked you about the number thing.

39.436 - 40.578 Jonathon Zaslow

That's true. I forgot about that part.

40.598 - 41.219 Greg Cody

Wait, hold on a second.

Chapter 2: What unexpected connection do the Cotes have with their haircuts?

47.088 - 50.052 Jonathon Zaslow

My dad goes to Supercuts. Why not? Why don't you guys go to the same place?

0

50.707 - 54.554 Greg Cody

Why are you making fun of that? It's a $20 haircut.

0

54.594 - 56.076 Jonathon Zaslow

Hold on, that's true? That's where you go?

0

56.216 - 57.378 Greg Cody

Yeah. It's $20?

0

58.32 - 60.524 Jonathon Zaslow

A couple of Cody's literally cutting it up.

60.544 - 69.94 Greg Cody

There you go. It's actually $23, which is an outrage. They're 20 minutes. It costs more than a dollar a minute to get a haircut. You still tip in like it's the 90s?

70.18 - 71.422 Jonathon Zaslow

Yeah, what's a tip situation?

71.462 - 73.986 Greg Cody

I tip generously. What's that mean? You know.

74.007 - 86.254 Jonathon Zaslow

$5. Five bucks. I'm surprised you're a super cuts man. I always had you as a guy that went to an old-fashioned place with a barber pole outside. Get a beer. Maybe some people singing. A barbershop quartet.

Chapter 3: How does the Hall of Fame's decision impact Bill Belichick's legacy?

97.392 - 106.601 Greg Cody

That's where I go, oddly enough. I don't know that guy. He could be a serial killer. I thought about that yesterday, getting my beard done, where he's doing the razor thing, and then I'm like, he could kill me.

0

106.902 - 112.507 Jonathon Zaslow

Yeah, I think that occasionally, and then I Google it. How many times has this happened? Barbers, you can trust them. Little Sweeney Todd.

0

113.428 - 122.249 Greg Cody

When's the last time, Greg, you got a hot shave at the barber? Well, you know what Supercuts does now? They put the hot towel on you afterward.

0

122.269 - 123.831 Jonathon Zaslow

Wow. They spared no expense.

0

124.411 - 125.112 Greg Cody

I mean, it's nice.

125.233 - 127.375 Jonathon Zaslow

Do those towels come cleaned, or do you know?

128.216 - 128.697 Greg Cody

You don't know.

128.857 - 134.144 Jonathon Zaslow

You can tell. I one time got a dirty towel on my face. I'm like, this is the last time you'll ever see me.

134.345 - 138.51 Greg Cody

Oh, this smells disgusting. No, I think it was a clean towel.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Rooney Rule in coaching interviews?

240.982 - 243.085 Jonathon Zaslow

Well, I mean, it matters. Framing matters.

0

243.105 - 245.929 Chris Cote

No, it doesn't. That's the same thing. Those things are the same thing.

0

245.949 - 248.232 Jonathon Zaslow

No, no. Ron Rivera got an interview. Hispanic.

0

248.212 - 262.784 Chris Cote

No, but Mac McDaniel didn't get the interviews because he's Hispanic or because he's black. But Cody reported that yesterday with his mind. Would you quit that? You did that yesterday. You said that a dolphin source wondered to you whether McDaniel... Wondered to me.

0

262.804 - 277.543 Greg Cody

Wondered to me. wondered to me, there's no way to know. Okay, there's no way to know. Okay, use your common sense. He qualifies under the Rooney rule. He's an available coach who's pretty good, particularly as an offensive line.

277.563 - 279.265 Chris Cote

Use my common sense? He's white!

279.626 - 300.608 Jonathon Zaslow

Not according to the Rooney rule. That's not true. Honestly, Dan, be careful. That's more racist than what you did yesterday. Honestly, genuinely, apologize. Seriously, you need to apologize. Genuinely apologize. Quickly. His father is black. He's not. Jack. He's not. Finally. I'm sorry. There you go.

300.628 - 312.228 Chris Cote

For both the comment and the confusion. The reporting. that should have been national news is that you said that somebody wondered that and that can't be possible.

312.288 - 334.834 Chris Cote

Not that somebody wondered it, it can't be possible that Mike McDaniel would qualify under the Rooney Rule for accurately being able to be something that helps with diversity for minorities because McDaniel's getting the interviews that used to go to the coaches who would complain, why am I having to fill out a form about whether or not I'll work on Sundays?

Chapter 5: How do the hosts react to the accusations against Mike McDaniel?

376.513 - 387.329 Greg Cody

It makes common sense. The common sense factor is all that my source said. And by the way, I heard that from another reporter who covers the Dolphins full-time, not with my email. Oh, that double source.

0

387.349 - 394.844 Chris Cote

Is that double source? Is that now double-sourced? Because I think hearing it from another reporter doesn't make it double-sourced, unless that reporter has a source.

0

395.445 - 413.521 Greg Cody

I'm just telling you that I had heard it before I approached the Dolphin executive. I don't know if you understand the way journalism reporting goes, but when you have the information coming from two different places, that makes it a legit report. But it's not a report because I'm passing along a supposition. You heard from league sources.

0

413.742 - 428.608 Greg Cody

I heard from a Dolphin source that the suspicion is one of the reasons Mike McDaniel was so popular in interviews is that he also qualified under the Rooney rule in addition to being a qualified candidate as a great offensive line.

0

428.588 - 432.396 Chris Cote

I am surprised that that has not yet become national news.

432.497 - 439.692 Greg Cody

It was actually. Pro Football Network reported it. Pro Football Network. Yeah. PFN. Where is that? Some website.

439.893 - 443.04 Jonathon Zaslow

I don't know. I can confirm. It is some website.

443.28 - 448.572 Chris Cote

Thank you. Okay. Some website. That doesn't seem like great sourcing. But it is some website.

448.552 - 453.742 Greg Cody

Yeah, if you have initials, you're legit. If you call yourself PFN, it means you're legit.

Chapter 6: What are the reasons behind the outrage over Belichick not making the Hall of Fame?

498.215 - 501.661 Chris Cote

A source told on a bigger show than Pro Football Network.

0

501.681 - 514.043 Jonathon Zaslow

I get what it says, though. Don't you ever accidentally say something here that may be too transparent, and then someone seizes on it, aggregates it, and you're like, that's not what I meant, really. I wish you'd just kind of skim past this one.

0

514.443 - 531.652 Greg Cody

I'm surprised I have to explain this to Levitard, who used to be a journalist. When a source tells me the suspicion... within the Dolphins or within this source is that this may have been a factor. Not that it was because there's no way to prove it was a factor.

0

532.193 - 553.024 Greg Cody

If you ask the Miami Dolphins or any team, hey, did you really seriously consider these two black candidates or was it a Rooney Rule thing? You're not going to get a truthful answer in all cases. So when the Dolphins suspect that Mike McDaniel got more interviews probably than was imagined, Maybe it was the fact that he also qualified under the Rooney Rule.

0

553.044 - 559.49 Chris Cote

Okay, but what you're reporting is news. It's surprising to me that you don't understand that it's news when you report it from a source.

559.53 - 570.061 Jonathon Zaslow

If someone in the Dolphins organization thinks, obviously it's not provable, if someone in the Dolphins organization thinks that that's what happened there, that's news.

570.161 - 578.61 Chris Cote

Members of the Heat organization thought that LeBron quit in the last finals before he left for Cleveland. That's news. News.

578.827 - 586.5 Jonathon Zaslow

If they think he did, yeah. And they got very mad at Dan for saying that. Hugely pissed. As they should have.

586.921 - 587.842 Greg Cody

I wouldn't want that out.

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' thoughts on the voting process for the Hall of Fame?

648.353 - 652.805 Jonathon Zaslow

Here's how you hedge your bets. Say they believe it might have been a contributing factor.

0

652.985 - 674.634 Chris Cote

That's exactly right. But that's not what you said. That is what I said. That's what he's saying now. All right, moving on. Please. Jimmy Johnson. says angrily of the Bill Belichick thing on Twitter. This is just wrong. Number two winning all time. More Super Bowls than anyone unimaginable. Number of division championships. Lots of small jealous voters.

0

675.095 - 697.008 Chris Cote

I would like to know the names of the assholes who did not vote for him. They are too cowardly to identify themselves. Please. If you did not vote for Bill Belichick, identify yourself. Many explanation points. Probably too much of a coward. Hide behind your secret ballot. And then secret ballot is capitalized. Is there anyone arguing the other side of this?

0

697.208 - 707.441 Chris Cote

Have you guys heard someone take the position, I understand why it is Bill Belichick is not in the Hall of Fame on the first ballot?

0

707.862 - 710.185 Jonathon Zaslow

Look to your left. Calls coming from inside the House.

710.165 - 733.117 Chris Cote

Well, but Bill Polian is it's being reported that Bill Polian is the one with the bias here and also the integrity of saying cheater, cheater. That's the reason. And it's the reason that I don't have my Baseball Hall of Fame vote. It's the reason that Greg Cody is so comfortable moralizing about this person's a first ballot Hall of Famer. But this person's not a first ballot Hall of Famer. Right.

733.137 - 735.961 Chris Cote

Because it's not a museum. It's a home of morals.

735.981 - 741.298 Jonathon Zaslow

Why didn't you finish the riddle? Cheater, cheater. I don't know the rest of it.

741.318 - 741.599 Chris Cote

Pumpkin eater!

Chapter 8: What future predictions do the hosts make regarding Miami's football program?

763.151 - 767.037 Chris Cote

How is Bill Pullian doing something more racist than what I did?

0

767.017 - 786.706 Jonathon Zaslow

Lamar should only be a wide receiver. Remember that? I'll let Zaz cook. The people that are caping up for him not being a first ballot Hall of Famer universally are fans of other teams in the division. And I've seen the list of first ballot head coaches. They all appear worthy. You're all the people better than Belichick.

0

786.726 - 793.015 Jonathon Zaslow

If Bill Belichick isn't what a first ballot head coach looks like, I don't know what the hell they're doing.

0
0

793.696 - 804.577 Jonathon Zaslow

What's he done without Brady? The loser before Brady, loser after Brady, the loser at UNC. You want to talk about coaching your way out of the Hall of Fame? See what happened at UNC? See what happened at the end of his time in New England?

804.617 - 819.743 Chris Cote

Okay, let's go to some more credible sources on this subject that are slightly less biased than Dolphin fan Jonathan Zaslow. Okay, we gathered that you're enjoying Bill Belichick's— Committee got it right! Did they? OK, I don't think that many people believe that the committee got it right.

819.863 - 848.962 Chris Cote

But the parts that I want to parse with you guys is we obviously don't know football a fraction of the way that Bill Polian does. We cannot assess how the guards played in the game that we just watched over the weekend that decided everything. Nobody here understands. understands, even after Ted Wells did that $5 million report, what it is that the deflate gate advantage would or wouldn't be.

849.042 - 873.45 Chris Cote

But clearly, Bill Polian thinks that it's what toppled Peyton Manning. Bill Polian thinks that whatever cheating that Bill Belichick did is enough to... I don't think this is just pettiness with rivalry, do you? I'm assuming... I'm assuming that he's not guilty of simply saying, I'm a small human being, I recognize that he's a Hall of Famer. I assume that he is...

874.679 - 898.475 Chris Cote

applying a moral standard to this. No cheaters in my Hall of Fame. Am I wrong to assume that he feels like he knows how much of an advantage the cheating gave Bill Belichick to therefore make him a Hall of Famer? Barry Bonds isn't in the Hall of Fame because everyone thinks he cheated. It's obvious that Barry Bonds is the best player to ever live. Top five if you want to argue about it.
