What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Summer is pretty much my favorite time to be a sports fan. The biggest soccer tournament of the summer just wrapped up. Baseball's on every night. Racing never takes a weekend off. And my calendar basically revolves around first pitches, green flags, and whatever game everybody's texting about. I realized I'm the MVP of my group. I'm always the friend that says, hey, I've got it. I've got a place. I've got some ice cold Miller lights. I got the TV. I got a big, comfy blue leather couch. Come on over. That's the behavior of a Miller time MVP. I almost never watch the big ones alone. I'd much rather be with my friends. And if I am alone, we're texting. We're sipping on our Miller Lights, toasting the day, toasting the big games.
For me, Miller Light is just a part of a big game routine. It's brewed for taste with simple ingredients, clean, refreshing, and easy to drink, especially in the Miami heat. It's a true American Pilsner and the original light beer since 1975. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer. Miller Lite.

How am I supposed to feel about what happened with Chris Cody?
People must be mad, right? People get mad about this stuff, Dan. People take yourself very seriously.
Do you not think that they should? I mean, he's sitting here trafficking on our name, on his father's name, on credibility, and then just getting it wrong and saying the following.
So I can't be wrong.
He's saying he doesn't know what a source is. I don't know what a source is. How am I honestly supposed to feel as we build a media company? You understand everything we're doing here, right? We're building a media company. We're zigging while others are zagging. Journalism is collapsing everywhere. Credibility is collapsing everywhere. It's harder to see what's true.
information and what's not true information and he does something like this where he has a source but you can't trust him or his sources so i originally i don't know why you would feel like it's a poor reflection on you on your name but then when you explain it in the sense that you know, you're building a media company here, then I could see where it kind of looks.
Well, I feel like ESPN should fire him again. And this time I wouldn't bail him out. Like this time they should just thunder it. They're firing everyone else. Karl Ravitch is gone today, evidently.
What?
Huh? No way. Is that not known? I did not know that. I'm going to check this one out. They're letting go of a whole bunch of people. Ryan Clark was yesterday during a show.
But it was supposed to be Tuesday morning, so it makes sense what you're saying.
Yeah, they're letting go an assortment of people. 20 minutes ago. Man, I'm flipping my lid. You know about that lip flip? This is Mike Ryan's exclusive domain. He hasn't broken any news on this front in a while. He hasn't told us anybody recently who has had a great deal of work done. I don't think I'm shocking anybody with that one. You're not. But I do wonder, even in this time of. you know, just total chaos in the media as a whole bunch of things shrink. I do wonder where does someone like Carl Ravitch land? Like that's an accomplished career. But I don't know that because ESPN does such a good job of making sure that the letters are what matter and no individual person is what matters. I don't think he can leave with the same following that Ryan Clark
can leave with because he's more of a traditional sports anchor personality versus someone who would just take audience with him because he's an opinion giver.
Why is Dan furious about Chris Cote's LeBron report?
I think play-by-play, maybe a regional.
It would have like MLB Network, right?
Yeah, that seems to be a logical landing spot. Ryan has his own media ventures, but today's going to be hard for a lot of people that are fans of that brand, that grew up with that brand.
