Why did Greg Cote criticize Gary Ferman?

Dan Le Batard 0:42
I am legitimately surprised that Greg Cody, and I'm sorry to belabor this, has taken out Gary Furman. I know we've spent too much time on it. I just, I'm, I am, I have been knocked over by a South Florida legend being less than respectful to somebody else who is another South Florida media legend. And I happen to really admire in this business, in this town, the survivors, the people who could get to the very end of their careers, outlasting their businesses by evolving.
Billy 1:23
Greg, what do you think the perception of you is amongst the writers? Because you seem to not have a very favorable one of many of the writers. And I'm wondering if this is just like a writer thing or if it's like a uniquely you thing, like you have problems with the Furmans, the Hydes of the world. Is this just a normal thing amongst all of you, disliking each other, but also saying you respect each other? Or are you the one that has a problem with everyone?
Chris Cote 1:50
Billy, I don't know where that's coming from. Dave Hyde and I are good friends. Did he come to your 70th? He was invited and couldn't make it, and he told me why. But he was invited, and I think he's a wonderful columnist. I think he's really, really good.
Dan Le Batard 2:07
Dave Hyde's not a good representation. What are you accusing Greg Cody of here?
Billy 2:11
I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just asking the situation, because I think...
Dan Le Batard 2:14
You don't know whether Greg Cody is liked by his colleagues. I don't know whether he is either.
Billy 2:18
No, I'm wondering if they would say the same thing about you and this is just kind of how you guys hang out. You know what I mean?
Chris Cote 2:23
I'm not critical of anyone in this market. Not since the days of Charles Bricker have I just actively not gotten along with anybody that I fraternize with. Chris. Didn't you talk to Bricker recently? Yeah, they did.
Mike 2:42
They were reintroduced to one another on the air.
Dan Le Batard 2:44
Can you please get that for me? Please get that 40-minute segment in its entirety. I think that this thing is the funniest prank we've ever pulled on Greg Cody.
Chris Cote 2:58
It really is. It was great because I legit was buying it until about halfway through.
Mike 3:04
You guys should release that. She gets a little lippy. It's earmarked for a super cut on the oral history.
Dan Le Batard 3:11
Just release it separately. Just let somebody listen to 40 minutes of that if they have not heard Greg Cody being introduced to his old rival, Charles Bricker. Charles Bricker. The thing that I wanted to theorize, though, with you, Chris, because I don't think you actually know your father here, and I think it insults him to not know him here, that you and your brother have taken so little interest in the thing he cares about in a career. I think that one of the reasons that he is regarding Gary Furman as lower on the food chain than I do is because Gary Furman was a very workmanlike writer. He was kind of like Barry Jackson, where he was nuts and bolts information. And I believe that Greg Cody thinks himself something of a poet and judges other writers only there. Who's a better writer than me or who's a good writer?

What is the difference between a beat writer and a columnist?

Dan Le Batard 4:01
Who's got touch? I think... I think it's the thing he admires most. I'm theorizing on his behalf, but I think that's probably one of the things that he does because he really loves the craft of writing. Chris, what do you think is the worst insult you can give your father if you're writing him a nasty letter at the Herald the way that people used to do? Like, what do you think is the single worst insult that you could give your father that would hurt him the most?
