Greg Cote Show podcast: Comic Brad Williams, Le Batard, ESPN stars & more in surprise Chris Cote roast

The new episode of The Greg Cote Show podcast, out now, is one of the most different and most ambitious we have ever attempted and pulled off.

We devote the entire episode to a Special Surprise Celebrity Birthday Roast for Chris Cote, who has no idea what’s about to hit him.

Neither does Greg, who spends a fair amount of time covering his eyes or ears. Why?

Because professional touring standup comic Brad Williams is our roastmaster general and, let’s just say, Brad works blue. (Use your imagination on the words you may hear bleeped out...)

Our roasters panel includes Chris’ wife, his mother (a.k.a. Greg’s wife); Sarah Spain and Izzy Gutierrez of ESPN; Colin McIntosh of Sheets & Giggles (who may or may not have been invited); and Roy Bellamy and Billy Gil from the Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz.

Dan Le Batard also provides a message brimming with both snark and heart. Stugotz said he’d be in on this, too. Find out if he came through or not. Other guests swing in as well.

This is our 20th episode of 2023 and 166th overall, and we welcome you back as always.

Hear all of this and more in the newest GCS. Aside from the occasional bonus emergency episode, a new show drops every Monday morning at 7 ET on Apple Podcasts, Spotify -- wherever you pod, including of course at miamiherald.com. Find our entire show catalog with all 166 episodes HERE. (The show also simulcasts on Sirius XM radio Mondays from 5 to 6 p.m.).

Our podcast debuted in March 2020 just before the pandemic hit. (Coincidence; don’t blame us). We thank you all, pod family, for your great and growing support. Please continue to listen, rate, review, follow and tell your friends, too! We now also have a teaser video out each week on the Miami Herald YouTube channel to preview the latest episode.
