Transcript of Jessica Smetana Learns Greg Cote's Catchphrases | Hour 3

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 Lite. 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 Lites, toasting the day, toasting the big games. For me, Miller Lite 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. Go to MillerLite.com/Dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly.

You're listening to the Dan Levitan Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports App, now live in all 50 states.

I want to get to this Aaron Rodgers story with the group. I'm really sort of confused by what the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing this year, like the all of it. But a true great is about to leave the sport. Uh, I still think he's the best quarterback I've ever seen, and he's going to leave as an underachiever and a bit of a strange person. At the end, who is very polarizing but has reunited with his family finally. And Ian O'Connor, the author of the Aaron Rodgers biography, says on Aaron Rodgers and his family, they had been working toward reconciliation for a while. Rodgers invited his parents, Ed and Darla, to his Pleasant Valley High School Hall of Fame induction in April and introduced them to the crowd to applause, thanked them for their support. In my book, says Ian O'Connor, Rodgers spoke of embracing his father at the Lake Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tournament in 2023 and expressing their love for each other and called it a special moment. First time they had contact in nearly 9 years. That opened the door at the time Rodgers called a reconciliation definitely possible and a matter of timing.

The timing was right last night for the Steelers quarterback to make it public with his photos on Instagram. Uh, uh, Jessica, thank you for joining us. Uh, would you like to talk about Aaron Rodgers or would you like an update on Greg Cody's catchphrases?

Can we do the catchphrases first? Because I do have thoughts on Aaron Rodgers. But I think Greg is more important right now.

Wow, thank you, Jess.

Well, thank you for making way for the catchphrases. Very nice of her. You can hear her every week, Notre Dame podcast, The Echoes with Mike Golick Jr. But this is one of our favorite things every week, and we've taken too long to get to it. And I don't think we've done this with Jessica, so I don't know how many of these she knows, but she is, she's a Greg Cody connoisseur. She's gotten to know what your catchphrases are. Let's see how we delight her as we start with what used to be number 50 and is now number 70.

Number 70, I'm fuller than Vern Fuller. 69, where's my Click, click. 68. Hey, Butterfinger! 67. Punt. 66. Scranton! 65. I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger. 64. Georgia! Georgia! 63. I'm the kind of guy that— 62. Ballin' the Jacks. 61. Hey, hey, we're the Monkees, baby! 60. Thank you, Billy. 59. I love 'em like a pet. 58. Who made it a salad? 57. We're rollin' now, huh? 56. Your brain beatin' me. 55. Let's go, States! 54. Driver comfort is paramount.

53.

Dummy up! Sabe up. 52, catch as catch can. 51, doesn't make it right. 50, so on and so forth. 49, very good. 48, the Little League theory. 47, nice hat, asshole. 46, the others, they all learned from me. 45, don't go showering to try to please me. 44, look at that jerk. 43, it's like a packing house in here. 42, what'd you learn? 41, hee-haw, 3, bye-bye. 40, I'm not gonna take a quiz. 39, sassafras. 38, would we break a window? 37, hello. 36, who won? 35, trailers for sale or rent. 34, you gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die. 33, 3 words, we are the Lobos. 32, you're gonna go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmley. 31, rappy cac. 30, another crisis solved. 29, nice chatting with you. 28, he ain't heavy, he's my blank. 27, hey, that's what I'm talking about. 26, who let a pet? 25, good on ya. 24, dancing swords. 23, QK, quick crap. 22, bae. 21, blankin' it. 20, that's a fact, Jack. 19, gotta wanna learn, gotta wanna earn. 18, Put a Lobos mint under your pillow and dream big. 17, quite a bit. 16, these are the new two.

Oh, wait a minute, wait, before— hold on. First of all, you do nothing better. What do you say? You do nothing better. There is nothing that you do better than that. Nothing that you have ever done better than that. That is a— that is hard what you just did. You just steamrolled, uh, Zaslo by taking his saying again Jessica, what are your thoughts on what you just heard there?

Okay, I have a lot of thoughts. First thought, so my fiancé, Lehman, and I, we do a lot of bits. Like I feel like most couples do, like every happy relationship, you have to have bits, right? And one of our bits that we always do is like turn a regular noun into someone's name. And a few weeks ago, I found myself saying something about a chicken Parmilly. And then I was like, why did I just say that? Is that, who's Bernie Parmilly? Why am I saying his name? In regards to chicken parm, and Lee was like, I had— I don't know, I've never heard that name before. And now it's coming back to me. That's a Greg thing. So thank you, Greg.

Wow, that, that's the highest praise right there.

Is it?

I appreciate it.

Is it chicken parm? Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is chicken parm the highest praise at Levitard Show?

Sounds great.

Uh, uh, we're ready, we're ready.

Okay, are we, are, are we ready? Are we ready for the next one? Because these are getting big now.

These They are.

These might still be in the top 20 a month from now.

This might— it would have been 6 and 7 this next, next month.

This might be 40. But right now we're at number 16.

Take the rest of the day off.

Oh, he has been.

That is just—

that is a classic. That is a classic. It's one of the first things he ever said to me. He said it to me as soon as he's meeting me at the Miami Herald. I just got there. Take the rest of the day off. I'm like, what are you talking about?

It's goodbye.

I can't even— did it. It was upon meeting me. It's one of the first things I remember about your father.

I say it to my daughter, like after a dinner. It's just what he says.

He says it inappropriately to an assortment of inappropriate people all the time.

Right, right.

It's the joke.

Exactly. And number 15, do what now?

Didn't Edrin James say that to me when, uh, do what now?

When you gave him the iPad for him to draw stuff, he's like, do what now?

That's great.

I handed him the Telestrator.

Do what now?

And yeah, he didn't really understand what I was doing.

Right. My wife hates that phrase. It's the best. More than any other thing I say, which is why it's in the top 15.

You see what's up?

That would piss me off too.

Because it's his way of saying repeat yourself. So basically my mom will say something and if he just doesn't understand it, he'll be like, do what now? And she's like, I didn't tell you to do anything.

Right. I love it because it genuinely annoys her.

You see, what's happening now is all the new catchphrase reveals— I have like Ajita because I'm worried that you're going to steal my shit.

What do you say? Oh my God, you should—

I don't like that.

Yeah, you should be worried.

I don't like it.

Yeah.

Thai food.

Is that in your top 15?

It might be. We don't know yet. What do you say? Except mine's going to be Chinese food. Whoa, how about it? In New York. Thank you.

Oh yeah, I have, I have their new Knicks shirt. I wore it last week.

Did you? You know Wohop, huh?

Yeah, they come out with a new shirt every year. Let me see if I can find it.

I know.

Go on, Greg.

My dad has this year's one.

Yeah, it's the Year of the Horse, which I didn't know. Bodes well for Isla Grande, my racehorse.

Do what now?

Oh, the Knicks one. Yeah, we didn't do the Knicks one. We got the black one. I didn't want to do Knicks colors.

Jessica, how did you feel?

It was nice actually to see that whatever it is that's happened in Aaron Rodgers's life over the last 10 years and wherever it is that he's been scarred or damaged by it, that he would find love of family again.

I think everyone can applaud this. Yes.

Yes.

Happy for him.

I think it's probably the best thing that I've seen him do in recent years. And it's such a, like pop culture is so weird, Dan, because this all came to a head because of his brother being on The Bachelor and them filming their, I don't watch The Bachelor, but like they go to their hometowns and there's a whole thing with two empty chairs when he was dating Olivia Munn. And I guess he said in his Netflix documentary that that was like bullshit that they did that. Um, and but like, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about the news cycle this week around Tom Brady and how it seems like everyone's on Tom Brady's case about being very cringy and kind of lame in his retirement, which many people think stem from his divorce back a few years ago and him just being like a very divorced guy right now in his actions. So I wondered if Aaron Rodgers was like You know what? I don't want to go that route. I'm going to reconnect with my family and it will ground me because I don't want to end up doing like weird wrestling bits with Logan Paul someday when I retire.

So this is interesting what you bring up here, Jessica, because, uh, it has been interesting to me to watch America expect or want with a pretty discerning standard for Tom Brady to be more regal with his greatness than divorced dad. Like, it's really interesting to see that Gretzky, MJ, whoever's in this class doesn't get what he's presently getting, which is don't go to Fanatics Fest.

What are you doing?

What are you doing with your legacy? What's happening there, Jess?

I think there's like a few things, Dan, one of which I would say I've never been a Tom Brady fan. And I think a lot of people that like the NFL are in my boat where for decades Tom Brady and the Patriots beat the crap out of the teams we liked. So when he retired, I was like, thank God I don't have to see this guy anymore. He ruined a lot of great Steelers seasons because he was just better than the Steelers every year. And I think there's a lot of people in that boat, Dolphins probably included. And then instead he became the highest-paid Fox, uh, color commentary guy immediately, and then starts do— like, gets special treatment for his Raiders ownership while he's able to be in the booth, which I think that kind of rubbed people the wrong way too. I don't know how many people care about that, but then like he's just been everywhere since. He apparently was like dating Alex Earle for a hot minute this winter, which is weird. And so yeah, Dan, I think it's just like too much Tom Brady exposure for NFL fans who never really liked him and thought he was super corny to begin with.

Super interesting.

But Dan, there's also the fact that like he was famous when he was a player for his weird diet, and now he's hawking like a bunch of random unhealthy food, I guess. Like that flies in the face of what I thought I knew about this guy.

So Zaz, what's the proper way for him to be appropriately champion regal? Is it just take the football contract and be football voice and don't tell us about your strawberries? Or give off some— the idea of giving off divorced dad provides a sadness I never associate with Tom Brady.

I don't know that I would call it divorced dad. I think it's giving off maybe midlife crisis. I don't think he has to be divorced to be doing what he's doing right now.

But the idea that a champion would be seen as less graceful, like, I'd like to see less of you, champion guy.

I'm seeing too much of you.

Please let me keep some of my mythology. I'd like to think of you in crowning terms.

Something happened recently were Tom Brady and his daughter, who looked to be, I don't know, 14 or 15. They were at some event, might have been early in the World Cup, and it was just the two of them, and the camera caught them doing a, a real personal father-daughter handshake, you know, just a special handshake on Fox. That was so cool.

It was so— it's like, that's, that's PR for Fox, I assume. I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm being too cynical.

Okay. But it's goodwill for Tom Brady.

Well, but I'm more interested in exploring, though, the idea that America would turn on Tom Brady.

That's like, hopefully, a given.

Well, but Tom Brady, as a parent, you know, and maybe he knew that he was on camera, maybe they contrived the whole thing. I'm not that cynical.

What is it about the robotic excellence, though, that is—

that we need the humanity of? Can you be a human being, Tom?

You're excellent. Where's the rest of you?

I think, Dan, if Michael Jordan did a lot of media stuff, we'd probably be like, that guy's kind of corny too, but he didn't. And that's probably a good thing. And I think a lot of former athletes in their retirement probably are in the same boat. We're like, okay, we've got a lot of this guy now. And he wasn't— he was cool because he was really, really good. Although I would argue maybe Tom Brady was just never cool, and that's part of the issue. He was always kind of a corny guy.

I think the Logan Paul thing is silly. All right. And this is coming from someone who loves WWE my entire life. I don't understand why Tom Brady— it's clearly setting up for them to have a match in Saudi Arabia at WrestleMania next year. Why is Tom Brady doing that?

If we're supposed to look at you as the GOAT, like, I think that's part of it, right? Like, we're looking at this guy who is this upper echelon of human being. Like, it's cool. Go do the broadcast if that's what you want to do. But the overexposure, particularly being, oh, we're seeing you dating this much younger influencer in Alex Earle. We're seeing you slap fight with Logan Paul. It's the people and the circumstances that he's putting himself in, in that overexposure. If it was all him being corny dad doing handshakes, we'd be like, all right, here's this corny guy. But it's this guy who's not cool, who we got to decide was cool at the end because he's so great, trying so hard to be cool.

Yeah, he's trying very hard. I agree with that.

Jess, do you, do you know what I'm saying?

Tom Brady's not cool.

Jess, you see what's going on with the WNBA?

I'm cool.

I wear tank tops under my flannel.

You see what's going on?

Cool.

For the record, I just want to state that there's no one here who's cool except for Greg Cody.

Greg Cody might be cool, especially not Jess. Greg Cody.

And yeah, Greg's Miles Davis compared to all of you.

Thank you very much.

You were saying, Zaslav?

Jess, do you see what's going on with the WNBA right now? They have their All-Star Weekend coming up, and I don't know if I want to call it controversy, but what's going on with, with Sophie Cunningham being left out of the 3-point shootout?

Oh, I don't think that is controversial at all, actually. But I do think what was controversial was apparently Sabrina Ionescu, who won it last year, declined an invitation to be part of it, but then commented on Instagram that that was not true. But then when I went to the Instagram account to see her comment, I couldn't find it. So I don't know if I got ballsacked or— by the way, Ballsack Sports on Twitter, X, whatever you call it, very progressive politics. I don't know if you guys have noticed that, but I digress. I don't know if that was real or not, but it's weird to me that like she would decline it when she's, you know, one of the best 3-point shooters in the league. And then apparently also Caitlin Clark declined it.

She's always declined it, right?

Well, no, last year she was hurt. And it was an indie, and I think if she wasn't hurt, she would have done it and wanted to do it. I remember her saying last year that like she was— that she wanted that to be her first 3-point contest and she like obviously couldn't do it, which is a huge bummer. It would have been awesome for her to do it in her home arena. But this year she has been battling injuries, but she also had a 45-point game like 4 days ago. So I don't think she's hurt right now. I don't know why she would decline it. And there was this clip that was, uh, on Lisa Leslie's podcast, I think it was last year, where Sonya Citron, who was an All-Star, Rookie All-Star last year, said that apparently she found out she was an All-Star because Kathy Engelbert called Gabby Williams and thought it was Sonya Citron's number. So she got the wrong number, and that's how she found out, because Gabby Williams like DM'd her about it. So maybe this is a case of wrong phone number, wrong voicemail box. I'm not sure, but it is kind of weird that like 3 of your biggest stars would decline something that they'd be very good at participating in.

I feel like Sophie Cunningham though— look, she's a huge lightning rod these days, Sophie Cunningham, for several reasons, but she's one of the top 3-point shooters. She's second, she's second in percentage in 3-point shooting. Don't you feel like the WNBA, they should be like— they're not an established, you know, league where it's like they don't need to essentially play to the audience. Sophie Cunningham is super, super like popular right now. Shouldn't they definitely lean into that and have her participate?

Um, I think if you want to look at All-Star Weekend in terms of just like fan entertainment, like spectacle, then yeah, she's very popular. She has millions of Instagram followers. Um, but if you want to look at like who makes sense as people who'd be like really good at doing a 3-point contest, like I think you can make the same argument for like Aaliyah Boston should have been included or Jonquil Jones should have been included, and I don't think anyone is I mean, maybe Fever fans are clamoring for Aaliyah Boston, but like, there's— she— I would say there's like other shooters in the league that are much more, um, would be much better fitted for doing a 3-point.

Yeah, but Zazz is sitting here making the argument, yeah, don't make it merit, make it on who's popular. Sell your league. Absolutely. So he's just saying don't do it based on merit and who's the best 3-point shooter. Uh, sell your stars to me.

I don't know what their process is for going through it. I think it's also They probably wanted players from teams that weren't represented through other All-Star appearances to be part of it. For example, like Seattle didn't have an All-Star this year, so Natisha Heideman, who's part of the Stud Buds crew, which is extremely popular, I would say probably will be the most popular thing that happens this weekend for All-Star Weekend, she's part of it. Getting a Portland Fire player to be part of it I think is, is great because they're a good expansion team this year. I would have liked to see a Chicago Sky player part of it because they're hosting All-Star Weekend and didn't have any All-Stars, which is very unfortunate, and they are a very sad and sorry organization. Um, but maybe ask Sidney Taylor to do it, I don't know. But I don't, I don't know if they ever just go purely based off of like in-game 3-point percentages, even for the NBA. But I, I guess you guys could tell me. Didn't Tyler Herro win it last year?

Uh, I don't know.

Did anyone watch it?

I don't know. No, no, no.

Keshawn Johnson.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Was it last year?

Couple of years ago that Tyler Herro really been pinned.

Nobody even knows.

Nobody knows.

We are huge basketball guys this week, though. And rest assured, if this goes the way that Chris Cody reported, we are all the way back into following the basketball.

He did win in 2025.

Just see, I watch stuff sometimes.

Jess, did you see who recently unretired from their social media hiatus? Freddie L.A. He is back on the scene. Who could have thunk it? The retirement didn't last very long. He did a White House visit, huh?

He did. Oh God, yeah, Mike, this was the natural conclusion to the account that is FreddieLA7. He went to Washington with apparently a controversial MAGA influencer who is the special presidential envoy for American tourism. Exceptionalism and Values. I don't know.

I know that is a mouthful. How many, how many words are in that acronym?

Good title.

Special Presidential Envoy for American Tourism, Exceptionalism and Values.

He's right.

So, and I did click on a Fox News article that said that he was served a tomahawk steak with a side of, quote, golden maha-approved beef tallow fries, crisp onion rings, and hearty bone-in chicken.

Sounds great.

Wow.

I love Tallow approved.

What are Maha fries?

Tallow approved. Cooked in seed oils, obviously.

Seed oils, they make you gay. They're gay oils. Goyls.

Be careful, I care about you.

Dan Levitar.

I heard that as a woman faking pain. I didn't think that sounded real. I really didn't, you know.

It was not fake. It was in no way fake.

You can spot a woman faking it?

Great, Cody.

Yes, I can, Jess. I've been married 40 years.

This is the Dan Levitar Show.

Tell me about Chip Kelly and his construction outfit. I don't understand what Chip Kelly is doing. Chip Kelly, remember, he was making protein shakes for his players. He was having them wear watches that monitored their heart rates. He was a genius.

He was going to make the Eagles champions before they became champions.

He knew offense better than all other people. This is exactly the company that I'm running. This is the company that I'm running. It's got a bunch of Chip Kellys running around there for my construction company.

You're the Chip Kelly in this.

What is— what is happening here, Jessica? Explain to the audio audience what is happening in this photograph.

I think it's great. So it's Chip Kelly in a hard hat and a little vest in front of a bunch of microphones. Northwestern is building a beautiful new stadium.

I don't know.

Every time I say beautiful, I feel like I sound like Andrew Luck because of Mike. So I need to work on that. But they're building a great new stadium that is opening in October. And so he was speaking in front of the media on the field, and I thought, wow, what a silly little goose. He put on this hard hat to do a little bit because of the construction. But then I went and watched the full interview on YouTube, and the second picture you put up, I realized everyone had a silly little hard hat on. So it must have been like a construction requirement thing and not him being a silly little goose, because we know that, Dan, college football coaches, they love to do bits They love to wear like, you know, the blue— Sharon Moore had like the blue workman jacket and they love to dress up sometimes and be, be silly. But I think maybe this was an actual safety issue. He just looks ridiculous.

I love the reporters. There's one guy like holding his phone like I'm wearing this stupid hat.

Put it on the poll. Is Chip Kelly a silly little goose? Yes or no?

Nick Adams. I'm going back through his tweets because this guy is one of my favorite characters that's ever existed on Twitter. Like, for example, you may not like it, but I sit with my legs legs spread wide open. Deal with it, accept it, move on. Alpha male out. Or alpha males watch football at Hooters and play 36 holes of golf with the boys. Beta males play 9 holes with their wives and go to Chili's for the 2 for $20 deal.

What's wrong with Chili's? Okay, keep going.

You want more?

Sure. You're actually obligated to play.

Amazing.

Foursome with the boys, domestic beer in the cart, ladies away at the par 3. There's one thing they hate this.

If there's one thing that's definitely not gay, it's a foursome with the boys.

Domestic beer there too.

I'm an alpha male, hear me roar.

I got my Phil Steele, um, from—

oh, it's out!

Oh, you're ready!

That's bad news!

Oh, you are ready!

Bad news for the bathroom.

You are Northwest so ready.

Mike has never been more ready to shit. Um, they have an interesting non-con against Colorado, and, uh, it looks like they open at home, at the new stadium, I should say, with Penn State. So that'll be a fun one because they beat them last year, famously. That was a crazy game. So I don't know, I think Chip Kelly at Northwestern is kind of fun, Dan. I think, uh, David Braun's actually been like pretty good head coach there, and he was really good at Ohio State, didn't work out at the Raiders, but now he's back in college, and I feel like he— this is a good gig for him, Big Ten offensive coordinator.

Uh, Jessica, thank you for being on with us. Uh, check out her weekly Notre Dame podcast. She does it with Mike Golick Jr. It is called The Echoes. Thank you, Jessica.

Bye.

Also put it on the poll, please. Has Mike ever been more ready to shit at Le Batard Show?

Do I know?

Love that Phil Steele thing.

Musicians more talented than Taylor Swift: Wayne Newton, Gene Simmons, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Lee Greenwood.

Yeah, he was a professional troll, parlayed it into a position of some sort. I mean, what was the name of the position then again?

Uh, they got a special envoy.

The Miami Heat is taking a position of some sort. I am getting a text here. They want me to say the same thing that is being said and reiterated to, uh, extinguish some of the flames around here. The person responsible for the mistake recently took over the YouTube page and is still learning how to post stuff. Uh, they're going on vacation soon and wanted the page done in case he signs with us while they're away. Nothing more than human error.

Why are you Oh dude, we're back. Look at this. Look at this. Listen to what just happened. Miami Heat getting out their damage control because this affects the LeBron thing.

Yeah.

And Dan Levitard carrying water for the Miami Heat in 2026. He was literally like— he was a mouthpiece.

You rarely say flat out, they want me to say this.

We are back.

Heat lackey.

Tell them they can text you. I'll say whatever. No more criticisms over here.

No, I'm putting it on them. I don't want the responsibility for making a report that is coming anonymously from anyone. I'm telling you, I am disclosing to you—

Anthony Slater already had that.

Uh, I'm not— I'm— I am repeating what's being said, but since— Anthony, oh, that's a fine.

Yeah, there also is an Anthony Slater. Hold on, he just follows the Warriors.

Yeah, am I the only one fined for that? Because that fine bucket's getting—

you got to catch a fine to be able to do that.

You say out of the I am confident. I am bold. I am extremely attractive. I am wildly successful. I am charismatic. I am talented. I am intelligent. I am decisive. I am wise. I am masculine. I am unapologetic. I am humble, in parentheses, sometimes to a fault. I am brave. I am gifted. I am an alpha male.

That's the opposite of humble, everything you just said.

I'm the most humble.

Uh, speaking of, uh, alpha males, uh, Zaslo, who loves him some He-Man, uh, why is it that— yes, you guys— no, I don't want to talk about He-Man. Why is it that you guys were yelling at each other earlier about Marvel? I'm, I'm genuinely curious.

Can we then talk about He-Man?

No, I don't want to talk about streaming today, right?

Hell yeah, it is! Guess what's happening tonight? Zaslo family movie night! We're gonna be watching He-Man streaming out right now. That's right. That's all I wanted to say, Dan.

I didn't want to hear that from you. I was asking you about what it is you guys were arguing about because I felt like—

Tony just learned about the multiverse.

No, it's not about the multiverse. It's you guys are getting pissed on, then being told it's raining, and you're like, oh yeah, no, this is great, I'm gonna watch it. Like the new Avengers— Dan, you probably haven't watched yet the new Avengers Doomsday trailer.

Don't make assumptions about me. Just handle your end of the conversation.

I'm not gonna undersell it. Dan probably saw the Avengers trailer. It's a pop culture moment in time. Dan, you saw it, right?

Has he watched the movie?

Uh, I really don't want to make— I'm not going to take a quiz.

Okay, there you go.

Fair enough.

All right, so because of the usage, I'll let that slide.

Feel free to handle the Marvel conversation you guys were arguing about.

One more question.

But if you want to keep asking me questions about it, uh, one more question.

I don't want to do this.

Now, Dan, you are aware that Robert Downey Jr. is playing Victor Von Doom?

I'm— what I'm aware of is positioning this through Dan.

I don't really— I mean, I don't— I don't know.

So long story short, I don't want it.

Keep it to yourselves.

Avengers: Doom Day trailer came out a couple of days ago.

It's Doomsday. Doomday sounds stupid. I said you sounded stupid.

Okay, but it's gonna be released on the same day as Dune, and they're calling that weekend Dunesday.

That's— dude, it's not Doomday either, it's Dunesday if you want to do like the Barbenheimer thing. All right, just saying.

What's the guy's name? Victor Van Doom?

Dan, correct him please. Love of God, Dan, tell him what it is.

No, you can go bleep yourself, okay? You guys, you guys are obsessed with the Marvel Universe in a way that makes you all yell at each other.

It's a new Marvel!

Well, but it's a polarizing Marvel because many people think that compared to The Odyssey, it's total dogshit from the start.

Well, I mean, we can't even talk about The Odyssey. This is a completely separate situation, right? This is Avengers: Doomsday. All right, the trailer came out. We watched it.

Trailers!

Exactly right. And I told the guys, hey, I think, I think Marvel's cooking.

Booked.

I think it's over.

Like, Dan, were you surprised with Steve Rogers' return in the trailer?

Oh, Dan, that was a big moment.

Look, can we actually—

Steve Rogers looks different. Who does he look like?

He looks like Aaron Rodgers.

No, he looks like—

uh, oh no, he looks like Nick Wright.

There you go.

Like wrong guy Nick Wright. Yep, always wrong until he's right.

What happened to Nick? No, to Steve.

They did something to him. His face looks puffier, right?

Because Because it's rare to lose aura with a beard and long hair.

Yeah.

And he found a way to do it. And it's not the first time Captain America had a beard. It worked in Civil War.

I liked it in that.

Yeah.

But—

And in Avengers: Infinity War.

Yeah.

He showed up with that beard, right, Dan?

Dan, how about— what did you think when he grabbed Thor's hammer? What do you think about that?

What do you— what if it's Loki disguised as Steve Rogers?

Oh, now we're doing that thing.

Okay.

It's a theory. Dan, what do you make of that theory? Loki, god of mischief.

Dan, I'm gonna catch you up. So Iron Man, the original Marvel movie that started this whole thing, starring Robert Downey Jr., as you know. Now we're at the end of this whole thing after 27 years.

You don't know that we're at the end.

And now we're close to the end of this, and now Robert Downey Jr. is playing another character in the universe.

The big question though, Dan, is Steve Rogers at the end of Avengers: Endgame, he's old, all right? He's already lived through everything, so So does that mean, Dan, has he already lived through doomsday? Your thoughts?

Elaborate.

Dan Levitar.

I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public.

Great Cody.

Don't do it.

This is the Dan Levitar Show.

There's all sorts of multi-dimensions, and that's where I kind of lost steam on the, on the whole Marvel thing because it got too convoluted. And it seems as though they've spent the last few movies trying to correct— quite literally, like, the, the plot is we have to fix the multiverse. So it's as if the heroes are doing the job that the audience wants to see, which is, hey, this got way too wonky. But at the same time, the, the multi-theor— uh, the, the multi-dimensional travel allows you to see the X-Men and the Avengers. And basically, cool. Hey, and wait till Secret Wars. We're gonna see everybody. It's basically just anybody that was in a Marvel comic, you're in this No, I like the Fantastic Four being brought in.

I thought the movie was good. You saw, you know, Doom at the end of it, right, when he was talking to the little kid. But at this point, why can't we bring up another character? Why can't we get another actor to play the specific character of Doctor Doom? We have to get the same guy who now I have to suspend—

okay, can we watch the movie?

Like, they'll explain it because Jonathan Majors—

well, okay, but still put us in a real pickle. We could have gotten somebody else.

I mean, Dan, how do you think Peter Parker is going to react when he sees that Victor Von Doom has the same face as Tony Stark.

He's not going to react because you're not going to be able to see it because he's wearing the mask.

Oh, he takes off the mask.

No, he emotes.

If you support wind farms and also eat seafood, you're a woke beta hypocrite.

I want to ask my dad a question here. You have 30 seconds. Name every Marvel movie you can think of.

Go.

This is a weird thing for Jeremy to say on his own.

You know, I haven't watched a cartoon since The Jetsons.

Marvel movies.

Greg, how is your leg doing?

It's a little bit sore. I got a wrap, I got an ice pack under my right knee, and it's wrapped in beige.

Go ahead and take the day off.

What are we thinking?

Thank you.

Take the rest of the day off.

I'm gonna give it a shot because I'm a warrior.

You're going to bowl tonight even though you're injured? Uh, when you're 71 years old, did you hear anything pop? Like, what is it that happened?

I felt something pop. I didn't hear it. It happened on my 13th and last It happened on the shot after my fabulous goal.

I think we need to be icing this a great deal more than we are. I think that he might have a bit of a problem at 71 years old. I am mortified, generally speaking, that the last 3 times that we've gone out— this happened to Tony as well— anytime anyone here has tried to do something athletic with no one else on the field except the cameraman, the last 3 times this has happened, the people have injured themselves. Greg Cody twice pulled a quad and now either a hamstring or calf. But if felt something pull. That's not good.

Like, that's not—

I don't, I don't think that's a strain if at this age you're feeling something that popped back there. It's going to need some ice. It's going to swell. It's not going to be great at 71 years old. And Tony also injured himself and was on the floor after doing— what was it?

Field goals.

Field goals. Remember, you're not supposed to kick 5 field goals in a row for 45 yards or 50 yards, whatever I was trying. I felt a hip of something pulling my hip. 3 days before my own brother's wedding. Can you imagine that? Me walking down the aisle trying to help my brother walk down the aisle and celebrate, and I couldn't because I was cojo. Can you imagine that?

I am indestructible. I'm not speaking for anybody else. I took a slip, hard slip and fall on the hard streets of New York City in a hard rain. I slipped on a steel grate, fell right on my left side.

Bad.

And hopped up within 3 or 4 seconds out of shame.

Game.

Uh, no, I'm telling you, this was for real. He, he ate it bad. It was raining. He slipped on one of those like, like the drains.

Deck shoes.

Deck shoes.

I'm telling you, I saw his feet up and I didn't see it. I like looked back and I saw him— I was genuinely scared and he just popped right up.

You guys do not follow Greg Cody's social media accounts. If you had, you would have seen that one of the ways that he protected himself from the rain in New York City was fishing out of a garbage can an old FedEx envelope that he then put on his head to prevent his hair from getting wet. I believe this was in a happier time before he fell on that steel grid.

No, no, that was actually just after. I was thankfully not recording. I would have felt like an asshole if I was recording when he fell. But no, he actually had just popped up and went over there, and he said that there's nothing cleaner than the inside of a FedEx box. I don't think it's true.

No, it's perfect. Pristine. That's on the YouTube, the Greg Cody Show YouTube version that you can watch. Check it out now. With— it was perfectly clean, the box. It's not like I'm using it.

Did you or did you not fish it out of a garbage can?

Yeah, but cleanly.

You gotta eat a bag of dirt before you die.

That's right, that's what Nana do.

Do you have any like lingering pains from the fall?

I do, yeah. I couldn't bowl if it were on my right side because my left side is very—

wait, what?

If I reach my left shoulder more than this level, it hurts.

Your left shoulder hurts? That was an odd way of getting there.

With my left shoulder and my— and my left elbow hurts a little bit, but I'm fine. Enough about me. What's happening here? There you go, Dad. My daughter-in-law looking at me.

Oh, what?

Hey, that's what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking about.

What do you say?

What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? What do you say?

Do right now.
