Against the Spread. Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Mike, World Cup starts tomorrow and I am not hesitating one bit. Host nation Mexico, they're taking on South Africa, former hosts themselves. I like Mexico here, -1.5. If you open the brand new DraftKings Sports app, you can get the market price -1.5 at +133. So that's my pick there.
Against the Spread. Against the Spread. Greg, over to you. I'm gonna stick with the World Cup. This is the match everybody's talking about. It takes place Sunday in Philadelphia in Group E. It's Ecuador against the official World Cup team of the Greg Cody Show podcast. That, of course, is Côte d'Ivoire. We don't call it Ivory Coast, it's Côte d'Ivoire. They're getting a half a goal. Côte d'Ivoire, the underdog by a half a goal. I'm gonna take them outright. The elephants of Côte d'Ivoire are gonna rampage to a victory on Sunday. Thank you.
Zaslo, do you think that we have anything around here better than— and the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody has anything better than when Greg Cody starts laughing and you know that for sure you have succeeded because his laughing is soon going to turn into a cough. You know it's going to turn into a cough. It's automatic choke. And It is the punchline that never fails to deliver when he coughs after laughing.
It's when you know you said something funny.
Another thing that you should be hurt by—
That's when people laugh historically.
Zaslow, you should be wounded by the fact that all over the country now, and perhaps internationally—
You did as well as you could with that.
Rack 'em!
People are singing now, "That's what I'm talking about." like it's stuck in people's head. Your catchphrase? Yes, it is.
Wives and husbands are being annoyed by their significant others singing, uh, "That's what I'm talking about." It's probably my biggest catchphrase, and you're telling me that everyone is going to credit it to him?
Yeah, well, they used to be your biggest catchphrase. Mine now. Hey, that's what I'm talking about.
Last out, ball.
"Mine now" is a phrase that he used that I would make a superhero's poster phrase. "I'm the captain now" is the previous incarnation of that. He just shortened it to "mine now." Your catchphrase, "mine now." It's aggressively alpha.
He's used to it.
Stealing my shit.
He likes it.
Truth hurts. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. We got it.
Butterfinger! Do you guys get annoyed when Mike Ryan says "patawai"?
I like doing that.
I didn't— can I be honest with you?
Yeah.
It took me a good 10 seconds to understand what word he said there. Paraguay? I didn't know who they were playing.
Uruguay? Or Paraguay?
No G in there.
Yeah, either one, man.
It actually gets me into a topic that I did— are you guys aware that some countries have changed their names?
Yes.
Like, it's not Turkey anymore.
Right. It's Turkey-A, right?
It's Turkey-A.
Turkey-A.
No, it's not. It's— I'm with you.
No, they officially changed the spelling.
It's Turkey-A. It's no longer Turkey.
How's it spelled now?
Ruins everything. It's like Turkey but with a -A at the end.
Yeah, it's T-U-R-K-I-Y-E.
I will not be spelling it like that moving forward.
Czech—
you know about the Czech Republic? Czechia now. And Bosnia is not just Bosnia anymore. They added Herzegovina.
What are they going by?
Uzbekistan is still Uzbekistan. Yeah, but yeah, Turkey-A, that's going to get some It's going to take some getting used to.
Is Uzbekistan the most fun to say of all the countries? Like, I do enjoy it. If you had to nominate it, though, if I went in with a hand of I've got a couple of Uzbekistans, do you have a funnier country to say that's just fun to say off the lips?
Georgia. Georgia.
Yeah, Georgia didn't make it this year. I like Côte d'Ivoire for obvious reasons. It's funny.
It's your name. It's great. I mean, it's— no, it's because it's The first word, Curaçao, is your name.
Oh, that's a fun one. Madagascar.
How do I feel about España? It's not in English though. Like, I guess, yeah, I guess you're allowed to choose from other languages, but I was saying Paraguay is really fun.
That's why I like saying it that way. Paraguay? No, Paraguay. Oh, buddy, feels good to say. Definitely how Wemby would say it. Uruguay. Might be even more fun than Paraguay. Uruguay.
Wow.
Imagine if they played.
Banger name.
What about Nicaragua?
Ooh, that's a good one.
I like that too.
That's a good one. It's not Uruguay. That's good.
I think it's in the realm. I think Nicaragua.
Do you call it, do you say Chile?
No.
Chile. You say Chile.
Is Zazz allowed to just not say Turkey the way that it's now said?
Yep.
Sure can. Who gets to decide that? Zazz or the country?
Be saying it the way that I've been saying it.
Turkey. But there is a—
hang with him.
On an episode of Morally Abhorrent, it was posited that Turkey got sick of not being the top result when you Google it. Get used to it.
You're stubborn in your ways here. This is just how you're going.
You can't be called one thing for 1,000 years, then all of a sudden you tell me I've been saying it wrong.
You're Turkey.
Well, I've just learned this recently, and I'm asking this question legitimately because Trista shamed me on it. I said Iran because it's how I've been saying it since since the '90s, and Iran is correct, and so I've had to correct that because I had it wrong 30 years ago when it felt like the news was also saying Iran. I thought that's how I learned of what was happening in that country to begin with.
I'm going to stop being stubborn about it. They were Ivory Coast for a long time, and then it became Côte d'Ivoire, and I just didn't feel confident in saying it. Côte d'Ivoire.
What about the country that, you know, has the airways and did the World Cup 4 years ago, how do you say that?
Qatar. Well, but hold on. That's changed because it started as Qatar and then we were corrected again and again and again with Qatar. That's Americanized. Yeah, I know, but I'm not— I have trouble with that. So you're going to have to settle for Qatar.
Try it. Just try it. Just try it and try it in an accent. Resist this.
Don't do it. I don't want to do this.
I don't care about you.
Try it.
Stand your ground.
I feel like the way you're saying it. Is as quickly as you could culturally appropriate. I feel like you are—
That's how they want to be called.
I know, but the way that you're saying it sounds like a dangerous accent.
Ka-thum. Yeah, don't do this, Dan.
I'm not gonna do it.
Ka-thum. I know I'm good. I can pass for Syrian. I've been told that several times. Hey, are you Syrian? No. You can pass. I know. Now, I know Syria is a different country, but, you know. It's close enough.
I mean, you can't say Ivory Coast anymore. Please don't. The official name of the country is Côte d'Ivoire. It's in French. They're a French-speaking country. You know, Chance, I'm saying— Don't say Ivory Coast. Côte d'Ivoire.
I know what your favorite is.
Libya. Georgia.
Georgia. Georgia.
"Say Qatar."
The crew tries to pronounce countries and their different names, and it goes about as well as you'd expect.
