You're listening to The Down Laboratory Show in partnership with The Draftkins Sports Act, now live in all 50 states. I have failed in giving this the proper respect and reverence that it deserves because it's one of the most successful jokes, a month long in the history of the show, Greg Cody, counting down his catchphrases. I've never been more wrong about what something was in terms of self-envolvement on his podcast. I've done this because we've got a busy day today, locally and nationally, there's just a ton of stuff going on. But I want to slow everything down and have the proper respect for Greg Cody's catchphrases. And furthermore, I want to tell you that I think, and I'm going to make this list sometime soon, when I think of the top 20 highlights in show history of stuff we've gotten to do to infect broadcasts, like Terral Owens for an entire season, was doing end zone celebrations for the listeners of our show, where you're watching an NFL game, and you know what he's going to do is the dance in the end zone. It's one of the top 20 favorite weirdnesses that we've had around here. We've infected broadcasts for 22 years, but Kevin Harlan and the weight of his voice, the fact that he was doing this during a Dolphin's game, that it was the Dolphins and the Chiefs, and that our audience got the delight of hearing this man's sort of holy NFL voice treat this stupidity seriously. The music really helped him there. The music is so large, it's so football. Right before his phrase, an orchestra coming in to carry Greg Cody's narcissism into the sky. I'm just picturing his director, just like, that was odd, yeah, that's what I wondered. But he said it so seamlessly. He worked it in so smoothly, what a pro that guy is. But we've had Jason Benetti do this for us, Kyle Brandt has done it for us, and Ross Tucker is promising to do it next week. The moment was too big for him this week. Ross Tucker is not Kevin Harlan's experience, he's up and coming, and he's great at what he does, but he failed this week, and we can just say it publicly, and maybe next week he will do something like this correctly for our listeners. But the catchphrases, I emailed him all of the catchphrases, Ross Tucker says he's going to get it in next week. We are on the final day of this joke. We have number one at our disposal. So let's count down the Greg Cody catchphrases from number 75 on one of the most epic jokes, or certainly one of the longest toll emotional, guys, this is going to be the last one. He did it on the Greg Cody show, and then it comes here. I'm legitimately sad. Yeah. Should we make it a hundred? No, I've almost run out of catchphrases. Not quite. It's probably a couple of strays there, but 75 is worth. Let's get some big numbers on the screen here and see if we can keep up with Greg Cody as he does the final catchphrase countdown on what has been a wildly underestimated by me joke, because I failed you here. It's been a monster. It has. It's one of the best things I've ever done on my own podcast. It is. It's so good. It got you let go. That's well put, by the way. Too sound. Too sound. All right. One of the best things you've ever done, period, in any form. Oh, I'll accept that. Thank you. Number 75. 75. I'm a small private individual. 74. I eat but all the time. 73. I hear you.

I'm calling on the industry to show the proper reverence to a fallen journalist laid off after 54 years wrongly by the Miami Herald. Honor and celebrate him correctly.

(upbeat music) - Greg, the birth suite, I want to bring this back around again because at the birth suite number seven, is it a suite? - Eight. - Why is it number eight? Why is it a suite? - Well, a suite is in, yeah, number eight. A suite, all you can eat. My call is Drumsky Web Twitter site. - What? - What, what, what, what did you just do? - I have a Twitter site for call is Drumsky. - What did you create, it's creator was all you can eat 'cause he wore number eight. - What is happening, Greg? - Keep up, dad. - I asked about the burps. - I know, I'm getting to it. - No, but you decided to promote your call your Stremsky Web site instead of giving me an answer to the birth suite question. - That's true, I'm getting around to it though. A suite is not just where Jerry Jones sits during a Cobboy's game, a suite can be a combination of things. And in this case, the burps suite is the four. - What do you mean, it can be a combination of things? A suite is the thing that Jerry Jones sits in. What else is the suite? - There are other definitions of a suite, unless I'm totally mistaken. One of the second area, perhaps third definitions of a suite is a small collection of things, which is the burps suite. It's not the suite, it's a stadium, it's a small collection of things. - Yeah, they use that term in musical at a time. - Thank you, there you go. - The burps suite, just to be clear at number eight, is the assortment of words that you say to punctuate whenever you're burping. - Yeah, I appear to say them. - What are the rankings of the four phrases? Like what's the one that you use least at the end of a burp and which is the one that you use most at the end of a burp? - That's for next week's show. No, I'm just kidding. 'Cause that's one, there's a controversy is that each one should have been separate, but it's a burp suite. I think Brad is most common sack, sack would be second, ass, wife would be third. - Yeah, yike is the most. - And yike is the rarity. - Yike! - If you get a yike, it's like a little gem. - Ass, wife is the funniest, because ass-wipe, it starts, ass starts to sound like a burp. Yes, the word ass is the beginning of the burp and then it becomes white. Yes, it's that. - Wipe is the dismount. - Yes. - Excellent work, Greg. - Thank you. - A triumphant joke. Zaz seems bothered by this. Zaz has a bit of a rivalry with Greg Cody. One of those phrases you just blanket stole from Zaz that you say. - Well, they're totally different. - Hey, that's what I'm talking about and you made it yours. - That's what I'm talking about. - Yeah, hey, that's what I'm talking about. - You're just angry. Mine is musical. - And that's what I'm talking about. - Benetti's on the call tonight for Yankee's Red Sox. This entire series on Peacock. Should we get him to celebrate Dan? Do you wanna badger him and get him to do that kind of thing tonight in the wild card round? - Let's see what we can get Benetti to do. Get me his email so that I can send him some of the phrases and see if we could get it onto the broadcast. - We don't have his email, should we just guess what? - Don't you have his number? - I do have his number, but I'd like to email, I don't wanna text him all of those catch phrases on an enormous amount. - No, just that kind of thing. That's it. - We need number one celebration. - I wanna give him choices. I mean, I don't wanna just limit him to that kind of thing. I wanna let the artist be an artist. - The key though, you need to instruct Jason this because he won't have a lot on his mind tonight doing a playoff game. You gotta tell him that the words need to mesh. - Thank you nothing. - It can't be that. - That kind of thing is one word, it's not four words. It's not that kind of thing, it's that kind of thing. It's one word. - Nothing. - Try Jason Benetti at Gmail. - Okay, thank you Zaz, I appreciate all your help here. The things that I wanted to get to from basketball because Jaylen Brown is basically, I think, going to stick his face in the buzz saw of whatever the 30s bring, whatever his decade of, I'm gonna be 29, 30 years old and I'm gonna make the second half of my career look and feel different than the first half of my career. I think he's sticking his face in the buzz saw. So here he is, first day of media day, what was he asked and what was the response? - Going into training camp, do you guys know who this team is or who the alpha is? And is that something that matters and is that something that's gonna come play out over time? - Next question. - Yes, sorry. (laughs) - Ooh, that was awkward. - So you're meeting the media essentially for the first time to introduce this basketball season or the sixer's gonna be this? They're gonna stick their face in this? - There's nothing wrong with that question. Every team, especially champions, - The world of alpha. - I feel like the word alpha there is what got him. - Teams have leaders. Like, there's something wrong. - And leader. - And it's so easy for Jaylen Brown and just say, yeah, Tyres and Joel, like they've been here, they're the leaders of the team. But instead, it's like Jaylen Brown's on this kick where the media's out to get him. Except, the media's the one that votes on awards, like when he's all NBA and he got the max extension because the media voted it. - The media has been out to get him, though, says. - They have? Yeah, the media votes awards. He was finals MVP, the media votes that. - Okay, and in that one time before the everything that has happened since, Jaylen Brown is no longer a non-polarizing figure. He was when he was winning, when he was winning finals MVP, all we were talking about is, do they know that he's going to his left poorly? We weren't talking about the man's character. Like, what's happened here that is interesting that he's gonna go into the season with is the defiance of, I was finals MVP and they discarded me when I had a relationship with Boston and yes, the Colin Cowherds of the world and the Stephen A. Smiths of the world, the media, have disgraced my character when I am the best among us. Like, what Jaylen Brown represents as an athlete in my lifetime, almost all of it has been universally positive and celebrated. Confident, strong, smart, doesn't get into trouble. Somebody who you would love as the face of your league, if you didn't have any assailing of his character from the way that Colin Cowherd basically, and this is a proud black man, just did code for uppity. Like, too smart for a room. You're really, you're draping Jaylen Brown in code, he recognizes and as a proud black man, he's gonna be defined about bleep yourself. Bleep yourself both Stephen A and Colin Cowherd. So let's talk, let's hear now, but that's gonna make him polarizing because people are gonna take sides. He wasn't polarizing before. So I'd be interested if these sixers types, Joel and Beat has loved the villain role. He keeps welcoming it and never gets out of the second round. Now they've gotten him more reinforcement than he it's ever had. The biggest moment of Joel and Beat's career is you're crying in the locker room when Kawaii broke your heart. It's the most memorable playoff moment that Joel and Beat has had. Kawaii won the title, he left you crying, seven foot giant, crying in the hallway because you can't get out of the second round. Now they bring you Jaylen Brown and Jaylen Brown isn't having what Colin Cowherd is selling. - Were there any misconceptions out there about you this summer that particularly bothered you and I mean either a player or a person? - Absolutely, somewhere was the word I would use. I would say concerning, maybe a little bizarre. Definitely some undertone is there. Colin Cowherd said I had a disease or his source that I had a disease. I don't know what that was about, but I think the part about the sources that I feel like is important is just, you kind of lose the intentionality of the integrity of reporting once that kind of slips. So I understand like great things have come from anonymous sources, but there has to be some type of balance. And that's all I'm speaking to. - When I have heard Jaylen Brown talk, it seems to me he understands how journalism is supposed to work and I can't say that for most athletes. So he's basically asking these reporters on their sources. He's asking don't do this anonymously to me when your character smearing me, anonymous sources are generally not used to character smear athletes. Like that's not, that's not really journalism. That's not, that's just talking to people who want the protective cover of talking gossipy shit about people. Like that in my career with Greg Cody, you'd find very few instances of us reading in newspapers, somebody's a bad guy because a source says so. Like usually you're not, you gotta put your name on assailing someone's character. - I've always hated anonymous sources because they invite skepticism. In that case though, there's a lot of reasons why I hate the answer when it's next question. And in this case, it invites people to interpret whatever they want. It invites people to say he obviously thinks - I'm the Alpha. but nobody wants me to say that, so I'm just gonna say next question. - Greg's right, by leaving it open to interpretation, he's leaving it open to all of this interpretation. - Greg's right. - Another thing he could have said, which would have been a very legit answer, is he could have said, I think we got three or four alpha dogs on this team. - Easy question, and LeBron's one of them, right? I mean, that's an easy question, because he is an alpha dog, but he's on a team with at least two or three others. I like everybody to just take a breath. You know what I mean? Just take a breath, and remember that we're not talking about a violent felon. We're not talking about someone like Josh Jacobs, so when we talk about these people with the vitriol that you're talking about him with, it's a crazy question. It's like, that should be reserved for the bad guys. This is a great guy, and tell me, there is, I'm gonna tell y'all, there is no answer that was a good answer right there. There is nothing that the media was not going to turn, it into poison. So I feel like his answer was his answer. The next person was delayed on getting up there, which you heard since they, oops, I'm sorry. Yes, if she would have just asked her questions, quicker solute the cis, but that was the awkward silence. That question was very normal to skill. - Imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Jelly mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours, with flexible all day comfy grip. Try new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. - Maybe it's Maybelline. - Down levitar. - Poor. - He's not. - Poor me. - Greg Cody. - Who needs me? - This is the down levitar show. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - The next question, though, of requesting a certain contrived affability. You're asking, Jalen Brown, after the summer that he has, which has betrayal, rejection, and hurt in it, if you have a connection to a community, and everything that happened there, I'm assuming, hurt him. Would hurt a human being, including the media turning on him and him then fighting the media. What you're requesting from him, and I'll be real interested if he keeps up the, I'm gonna call it defiance. It could just be pride. It doesn't seem like he's gonna give you contrived affability. It seems like he's intent on giving you his authenticity, and he will absolutely get fans with that if he decides to make the media an enemy. I just haven't seen a whole lot of people win that fight. You gotta be really willing to be a villain. You gotta really be willing to not be liked. And maybe that's how he chooses to live his thirties, but it's gonna be especially difficult with as much emotion as he has behind him over the last six months of hurt, to get the basketball enough on that team to like have hell break loose on every opponent because he's got the usage rate that he had when he had his most fun year because Tatum was out. He's just not gonna have the ball that much to do that. They've got too many other, it'll only be on the nights that everyone's load managing. But that's actually where he can have a lot of success because if he's willing to play a role when it comes to the basketball side and be able to play a role on a team that ends up winning a lot, and he's this way where he wants to give you his authentic self, he's going to win over a lot of people and where you have to win that argument is by being right. The way he proposed everything yesterday, the way he phrased everything yesterday, makes a lot of sense. His understanding of the media, the way he was doing it on some of the streams and the offseason when he was still very frustrated and it was all really raw, there was a lot of stuff he was throwing out there about the media large, that wasn't correct. He took the time to understand what he was talking about and speak about anonymous sourcing in a really thoughtful way yesterday. If you can tow that line and find a way through, by the way, being one of the most intelligent guys in the sport, there's nobody arguing anything against that. But this is the place though where he's a bit of a freedom fighter that I find actually pretty interesting because I think he's largely right when he tells Stephen A Smith, "Hey, do your job more responsibly than you're presently doing it. Don't just do it as the entertainer who advances the take to such an extreme that you're now threatening and feuding with 29-year-old athletes when you're a 58-year-old man and you're disgracing people on a large platform that becomes less relevant every day because we all have platforms now." Especially when you sprinkle in the fact that what you said earlier, it's a lot of cold stuff been going on. Don't call me a disease that I'm the smartest brothers. If someone said that about me, I would naturally have a callus that develops for that person and that person's profession. The smartest guy in the room is a criticism that our Rogers gets. It's actually a smugness that I have, that Pablo has, that David Simpson has. It's not a likable thing to carry yourself as if you think you're smarter than everyone else. But the thing that that Jalen Brown is doing, that I'm finding to be an interesting way to introduce yourself to a new city, is this is the most expectations that a Sixers team has had since Moses Malone was there. This is the biggest story in a city that has plenty of sports because when you add LeBron to it, you're creating something in Philadelphia that is bigger than sports, bigger than basketball, bigger than sports. Villainous team, is it going to lean into the hate? This is him introducing himself to the media on the first day of "Hello, would you just like to have fun talking about fun stuff?" Aren't we all excited that basketball is back this season of great expectation? I really do wonder about the weight of living your life with those expectations when it starts to fall apart a little bit and then people don't like you. They're not rooting for you. LeBron, Wade and Bosch did not know what they were signing up for. LeBron should know by now what he's signing up for. I'm not sure Jalen Brown does. Jalen Brown has gotten to live like a basketball fish, like a small basketball fish. The villainous world, it goes and becomes something bigger. What LeBron, Wade and Bosch did was bigger than basketball and Philadelphia is trying to recreate it and I don't think Jalen Brown has actually lived here even though he was playing in Boston and they were plenty disliked. He didn't have all of this reputation if people are really gonna hate you on top of everything else. So every crumb you give them makes Dwayne Wade and LeBron and Chris Bosch talk with their mouths covered by the Jersey because they don't want any lip readers to hear what they really think about things. I don't think Jalen Brown's ever played a season like the one he's about to enter even though he's finals MVP. Are we not skipping the root of this entire conversation with Jalen Brown that's been going on for, you know, like four months now? Jalen, everyone has been reacting to what Jalen Brown said after their season ended, which was that this year that ended in total embarrassment for the Boston Celtics was his favorite season and like, it's okay to respond to how crazy that sounds for an incredibly proud franchise like Boston that he had his favorite season when they were embarrassed and chasing stadium didn't play. But hold on a second though, no. I think the problem that Jalen Brown's going to run into is he's too honest. It would be anybody's favorite season if they got to be the primary player on a team and got the ball all the time. And if they won great, but you guys are making it seem as if winning isn't about the money in this sport. Like winning is these guys getting to the contract. Jalen Brown was able to showcase to everybody that he didn't need Jason Tatum. Kobe did this after he won with Shaq. We prefer with winning. Kobe said his favorite title is the one without Shaq because he did it without needing Shaq's help. So they won. Yeah, but yes, they happen to win. I get that. But what Jalen Brown is guilty of here is too honest for your liking. You guys keep wanting him to say some things that play Kate you and he's like, oh, bleep off. It was a lot of fun to be a first round exited and the team was mine. Right. And let's not forget also, he dealt with consecutive years of people saying, oh, he can't dribble up. Oh, he can't do this. He's asked. And so when you just, what is it? Slay the dragging of that narrative. Why wouldn't you feel more proud and more defensive about your actual skill? He's allowed to feel that way because he's being honest so he could feel however he wants to feel. And at the same time, I think it's okay for a fan to say, yeah, that shit wasn't fun. Okay. But guess what? You just said it. So why are we saying, oh, he said that it was his favorite year. So this is my excuse to bash him every time he says something. Why not say, hmm, he's a guy in his 20s. He said something stupid. That was a bad answer like Jeremy said earlier. He spent the summer saying stupid stuff at times. But here we are demonizing this great guy as if he beat his wife. Well, I don't know. I don't think anyone's demonizing him. No, I feel the opposite. I do. I wish him happiness. Like I wish I saw him at the introductory press conference smiling and conveying that he's happy. Okay, but this is the dangerous place, okay? What, to wish him happiness? No, telling me. Jaylen Brown to smile more. So he's more palatable to you. You see what I'm saying? The world the other side of America doesn't understand what these phrases mean to black people and I want to help y'all understand some of this stuff It's like what angiores goes through every single game. I go to the dream There's people in a crowd saying things to her that do not have stuff to do at basketball And it's just because what you like another team people who loved Michael Jordan didn't go to Indiana Paxers game and be like hey Michael Jordan this this about you. It's just a different Climbing that they have to do it. I can frame this a number of ways Okay, cam ward is getting his sister is getting death threats in Tennessee Okay, you're not paying attention to the America around you at all if you're asking a man as proud As Jaylen Brown about all of the things that he is hey Can you be more polite and makes me more comfortable? No, can you be less honest? It makes me more comfortable No, can you be less defiant? It makes me more comfortable. No. Can you be less authentic? The answer's no Okay, if if if wishing him happiness is wrong, then I have no you said smile more You know that that that that sort of goes hand in hand with happiness. I wish him happiness I hope he has a fun season. It doesn't seem like it's going to be unless they do a great deal of winning like everything that I'm telling you that that tends to lose Just I'm going to fight the entirety of the media and I'm going to try to be honest like guys You might as well try to win against the internet like the voices are every day the platforms are every day Everyone is bombarding you 24 hours a day. I don't know how much he's in the devices or not But this is about to be the most uncomfortable season of his life It's going to be very different from the season that he just had that was the most fun that had and this is why Partially it was so much fun. No expectations like the Celtic surprised everyone Whatever the pressure cooker was of the previous two years last year He could just go out and play basketball and look we surprised people no one expected much of anything from us led by only Jalen Brown. Well, let's not forget Jason Tatum came back as they lost so for him He's looking back at the overarching season and saying that was a lot of fun for me I really enjoyed being the lead guy and it all does go back like Chris said to the word Alpha, I think for him where it's who's going to be the leader on this team? Who do you expect to be a leader to step up or alpha? It might have been different It was word was said to like hey, this was the thing last year with you and Tatum Let's yeah, alpha and not just last year all the way throughout their entire run together And now it's before he's even taken the court with the rest of these guys Hey, who's going to be the alpha? Who's going to be the alpha? Are you going to come in here and try to ruffle feathers? And I think actually looking back the biggest issue that existed with all of this is that Jalen Brown said that thing that We're looking back at on a stream instead of an oppressed conference where there could be follow-up questions because it left in his mind Everyone all understand why I said this was the most fun season I had but instead it left all of this space to go Instead of dealing with the potential of just oh, and here's what I mean by that I understand how it is that someone's ego when they win finals MVP in that city after however it is that he's been doubted Wherever it is he's been doubted his whole life whether that would make him feel so strong that he's feels strong enough to fight Everybody all season and he's he's just going to grow into whatever his adulthood is because in my experience Largely and I don't want to infantilize these guys But in order to be the greatest of the great in sports you basically have to spend so much time concentrating on just that That a bunch of different parts of your personality aren't capable of doing what Dwayne Wade and LeBron James did on Trayvon Martin until they're late 20s because they find their boys And they find other things about society that they're interested in I'm gonna be fascinating Fascinated to watch what these next five years bring us of Jalen Brown because if he's as good as he thinks he is What he's welcoming now is a fight that I don't think that he can win I don't think a lot of people are ever great enough to win the particular fight of I'm gonna welcome fighting the internet and I'm going to win I'm gonna keep sticking my buzz on being authentically myself and I'm not going to allow these fights with the media to change it at all Even if they're using anonymous sources to smear me and a rough media slash fan base that he's in now. Oh the worst Yeah, the worst with those expectations This has the possibility of being the least fun that Jalen Brown has ever had playing basketball for a lot of reasons One of them being that he doesn't have control over the basketball and opposed the Boston which of course can have a rough fan base Also, he was Boston's guy. They drafted him. He's not Philly's guy like Philly only likes him if they make him happy expectations are a burden. They are crucifix and I don't believe I'm saying this But I'm saying it he played for the Boston Celtics and now he'll learn about what pressure feels like Because their regular seasons didn't matter Every game is going to matter now because people are going to be watching in the regular season who's taking the last shot Who's team is it blah blah blah blah blah all season long It's the the way that team's going to be covered is like a soap opera not like a sports team and it's just unpleasant You think you're signing up for something that is fun And I don't know if he thinks he is or not because it's not like he wanted this he got traded It wasn't his choice to get traded and imagine Everybody in the world ready to pounce on your every single mistake is all I'm saying is like if someone deserves our patient It's a guy with his resume. It's a guy with his college degree and his his non-getting locked up So I say let's just be patient with the young brothers and show them a little more care and reserve the the poison and the vitriol for the criminals You know, it's true that everyone media fans people like me are going to jump on the things that he says So I think it goes back to like with his with his comments yesterday Why don't you try and start off on a let's start off in a really positive note. I think he did I'm picturing this from the 76ers PR team like they have to be like Oh, he could have given a different answer. This is gonna be more of a thing now That is correct. I think what PR should have just said if we're in the interest of just simply Let's do this in a way jalen that you like be most honest Can you please try to make the white people more comfortable and there we are just if you can do that for us Most of our customers are white. It'd be really nice if you just said all the things to make them more comfortable White people are pretty fine with what BAM said yesterday LeBron The black athletes that I mean I'm not a weird thing that to make it that all of white people like I want to really doesn't it all does It doesn't ultimately make jalen comfortable to all the conversation right go ahead and find me all of the critics of Jalen Brown that aren't just Stephen A Smith go ahead and find me all the black critics of Jalen Brown I might have this wrong, but I think the people who are getting upset by this tend to be white people It tends to be when the defiant athlete is black. It tends to be the white people that are most uncomfortable with lock heads It okay, so we've got we've got two all right Chris that's that's always how that race conversation goes where why is it that it has to be about white people smartest guy in the room You don't often get that one as an insult like that's not something that a whole lot of White people are getting in sports like it's not a bad trait to be white and smart in sports You can't be too smart usually it's Aaron Rodgers, but it ain't a whole lot of other people Yeah, think about what an asshole Aaron Rodgers must have been to actually get that one on a game He gave up a lot of good one in order to cross that boundary Holy cow He did tell us considering the company. It's not hard to be the smartest guy in these rooms Well, that's the other thing that he said that is that is what he said honest Yeah, I think that's gonna be his greatest crime. Judger's out here. Let's not making about being locked up his greatest crime is going to be that he's too honest Imagine setting your makeup then forgetting it's even theirs Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York Gel to mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all-day comfy grip No tightness no stickiness no residue just plum do we hydrated skin that still feels like your skin Try new grippy setting mist from Maybelline New York.
