How does the Florida cold affect daily life in South Florida?

Chris Cody 0:00
I see a record-breaking amount of clothes in here that's been in the corner of the closet for 20 or 30 years that no one around here has pulled out of their closet in a long time. My trainer this morning showed up in a leather jacket that he wore in an Atlanta nightclub 25 years ago because South Florida people are so unaccustomed to, what do you mean it's 35 degrees?
John Zaslow 0:26
Wait a second, he trained you in a leather jacket?
Chris Cody 0:28
Yes, and jeans. Yes, he showed up like you would for a club on a Friday night. Was he bleeding? His wife asked him, hey, don't you have sweatpants? And he's like, sweatpants ain't doing it today, honey. Sweats can't be cold down there. I've got to wear jeans. The rest of you, though, Chris Cody's wearing a Bob Saget sweatshirt.
John Zaslow 0:49
I had to go deep into the closet for this one.
Chris Cody 0:51
How did you guys experience this morning? My dog didn't want any help with sweaters, blankets, nothing. Didn't know what to do with what it is that this weather is.
John Zaslow 1:01
I didn't want to get out of the shower. Like, I made the shower extra hot this morning, and I just stood there for a good 10 minutes after I got done washing. I didn't want to get out. Quite the visual.
Chris Cody 1:10
How are we so bad at this? How is it that nobody here is equipped in any way to deal? Like the rest of the country, they're in New York right now. The temperatures are not humane. Like you cannot be outside. So that's not what's happening here. It's just 35 degrees.
John Zaslow 1:31
I was on ESPN yesterday and I spent a good portion of the start of the show talking about how cold it is here in Miami. Everyone must have thought I was an asshole.
Chris Cody 1:40
There was a little bit of frost on the card today when I turned it on. A little bit of frost. I think the rest of the country would be listening to this and mortified by us, by how soft we are. But everyone came in here this morning complaining about some form of the animals are not safe. We're not safe. What is this? How do people live in this? As if all of us were the sleigh dogs in the Iditarod.
John Zaslow 2:05
I don't. I woke up with two sweaters on and my dog's just chilling. I don't get it. Are they cold?

What humorous experiences did the hosts share about dealing with cold weather?

John Zaslow 2:10
They just can't explain it? Well, and here's the problem. Here's the problem with us here in South Florida. Like, I wake up. I don't want to get out from under the covers because it's freezing in my house. And, like, the tiles are freezing when I step on it. And it's because we refuse to turn on the heat. And why do we refuse to turn on the heat? Because the smell. The smell. When you turn on the heater, you get the smell.
Chris Cody 2:29
It smells like that only because you haven't used it in a long time. I know. But that is the only reason. Like, heaters all over cold weather cities don't smell like that if you're using them every day.
John Zaslow 2:40
Right. I refuse to use it because of the smell. That smell is just dust burning off of the coils from how long you haven't used it.
Chris Cody 2:47
Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Is that smell from the heater just dust from the coils because it's been so long that you used it in Miami? Because I think Tony's got that right, but I haven't lived anywhere else, and I don't know what the amount of time is. If you don't use it for a month, six weeks, or in my case, didn't even know I had a heater. Legitimately did not know if I had a heater in my apartment because I've never used it. I'm not even making that up. I'm serious to you. So what it smelled like is, wait a minute, we've got a heater? We've got a heater in our house.
Stugatz 3:25
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Chris Cody 3:33
Oh, yeah, it's Super Bowl week. That's something that will get started a little stronger later in the week.

How do South Floridians react to extreme weather conditions?

Chris Cody 3:39
I don't think you're going to feel it very much around here or very much around the Super Bowl this week. Why don't we go to Radio Row? Ah. It's far. I never want to go to Radio Row. We went one time to Las Vegas.
Unknown 3:54
We had fun, Dan.
Chris Cody 3:55
Yeah, we did have fun, but it cost us half a million dollars, and I don't really want to do that again.
John Zaslow 4:00
Take half. Okay, you pay me and Zazz. Me and Zazz will go. We'll have fun over at Radio Row, and we'll put it back.
