This is the Dunlabel tour show with the Stukat's Podcast! This is the Dunlabor tour show with this two-guts podcast. I don't think enough is being made of, like, cause they're gonna keep this shit up throughout, it's gonna be an annoying week with Ohio State Michigan. They're gonna keep this shit up even though it looks like Michigan's taken the L and dropped it. Yes, yeah. And they're gonna keep feeding it, like, like, Harbaugh is gonna keep feeding it, but y'all did that shit.

We had a proof for that game. We're going, I'm so excited. Nice. Nice. That's awesome. Did anyone use the text anybody still? I did, I already said one to leave right word, I mean. Do you respond?

No, he did. Do a clean one. The game. I'm gonna cry so do a clean one. The game. I'm going to cry so much at that one. I'm buying waterproof mascara before I go. Expensing is of course. Kind of cool. Is that belly? What do you mean?

Is this the last big college football game in the regular season ever? Not ever. Just until well Saturday afternoon. It's rivalry week. So there's a lot going on. But with the expansion, no game will ever matter is like this game will eliminate someone from the playoffs, right? Yeah, this, I mean, this game will kind of decide if it's Michigan or Ohio State. And that's given that they can be die when the big-time championship game. But this isn't like people think that like expansion and college football is going to ruin rivalries,

and it is going to ruin some. Like, Bedlam's not going to be the same. The Apple Cup's not going to be the same. But Michigan, Ohio State will always survive, and you're gonna start getting new, interesting ones where like USC, Ohio State could be a fun rivalry we come to know and love. It's not ever gonna die.

Teams are still gonna hate each other a lot. There have been like two different weeks on this college football calendar where I'm sure you're looking at the schedule and you're like wondering, where are we gonna go? There really isn't a great marquee game here. All that stuff goes out the window next year. Have you seen these schedules, these marquee matchups? And I understand Billy's point of, look, we essentially have a, it's being built up

as a playoff elimination game here between Michigan and Ohio State. That's what it is, right? When you expand, but when you expand the playoff, you're gonna have many more games that feel like elimination games. You're tripling the amount of teams that can go in there. But you're gonna have many more games

that also feel like they don't matter that much. I mean, you guys, you can fall from four to 12 and still get in. No, for instance, this game right here, both of these teams will still make the playoff next year. Which is why this game won't fill out. But Billy, what happens when that team falls from four to 12? You don't think they hit that they're going to have a big football game on that. No, 12. But Mike, it does take some sting off of these games it does it takes some it takes some sting off

the regular season like college football I've said forever has it exactly right the regular season it means something I because you have to fact to play off just about every week I know I'm in the minority I know people think four is the right number I know people felt some kind of way about N.I.L. and I came out limped out with the take that I think it actually means a little bit more parity. And we're starting to see the seeds of that. I actually think an expanded playoff with these mega conferences is going to be amazing

for the game. More teams actually thinking that they have a chance. More teams that have two losses that are playing like their seasons on the line. Where now it feels like, depending on where you are, and what conference you reside in, we're talking about FSU, who's out of magical season, probably not making the college football playoff just on account of their quarterback being out.

Like that's what the margin is right now. But it's hard to have a season as good as FSU is having right now, not to have and to not have a reward to be able to play for it. It kind of feels dumb. I understand what Billy is saying though. I don't know with all the change that is coming because I can obviously make the argument that college football is doing everything right because what Saturdays feel like all over this country where I'm watching a South Carolina game and I can't believe the atmosphere

in that stadium because it feels so much bigger than anything I'm even watching on Sunday between a three and seven team like just the energy of it you can feel those people have regional pride they have like their identity tied up in that stuff and what happens at night in these college cities feels a little bit different. So I'm not the money grab is worked for everybody and it's created more and more interest. But I don't know if we're going to have something that feels like this, which is the standard of the best seasons and with two 11-0 teams galloping at each other in a conference, in a rivalry,

to is this the best season ever or are we gonna end it with losing to our rival? Like I don't know if we're gonna to see a lot of that going forward. It's just going to be different. It doesn't mean it's going to be, uh, it's going to be bad. It can indeed be better, but I don't know if it's going to look exactly like it feels in this region of the country where these two teams, everybody is wondering, everybody is wondering.

Can they actually play with George or is this again the same thing of Michigan is going to try it out? Muscle yeah, and then they're going to get to a playoff game and they're going to be Wisconsin and disguise because they shouldn't be there. Everybody is wondering, but now they get to prove it against each other and Lucy's been telling me all these that she doesn't believe Ohio State can beat Michigan. And I'm like, but have you not watched this game in recent years? Like Michigan doesn't win these games. But next year it won't matter to Billy's point though.

It will. It won't matter, both teams will get in. It will, it will, it will. What is it doing where you're making them as good? It's so much. The conference is getting so much better. It matters so much. Like the idea that next year just because Michigan adds

Washington to the schedule and maybe they get next for loss means that they don't hate Ohio State as much. The hatred and the rivalry in college football is stronger than I think anywhere else. This game means everything. You ask Ohio State players, would you rather go 11 and 1 with a loss to Michigan or 111 and beat them? You're going to get both responses. It's not going to die.

It's going to get a little weirder in just the regular season before that. But these rivalries that have stood the test of time, Ohio State Michigan, Alabama, Auburn, they will stay and they will be as strong and powerful as ever. If you had a 12 team playoff, a game that happened last week,

there was a top 25 matchup, Kansas State, Kansas. We haven't talked about that all week. That's a game that has playoff stakes. Yeah, but Mike, I'm not sitting there saying one of those teams, regardless of who wins, can win the national championship. The game will always mean something to a tie-o-state in Michigan, right?

But like, well, it means something to me next year, if it's not, you know, with playoffs on the line, I don't know. I think it will, if the team that you support is number 17 in the nation, and you want one of them to fall down. I just think way more teams. I think SI did a study on all the programs

that would have made an expanded playoff field. And there was like something like maybe 30 that wouldn't have been in it. In all of the division, like it was a ridiculous number. Miami would have made it multiple times. Think about how we talk about Miami's football program over these last few years. They would have made it multiple times. Think about how we talk about Miami's football program over these last few years. They would have made it multiple times in this century

to the college football playoff. Kansas would have made it multiple times that the college football playoff had it been expanded over the course of these 20 years. And while it's easy to get swept up in the romanticism of this feels like a juggernaut battle, this feels like an elimination game. This is incredible.

Ohio St. Michigan, this is college football. We forget about the years worth of shows, where we're arguing about Baylor not having a shot to play for the national title, or UCF not having a shot to play for the national title. I think this is great for the game. Maybe we're going to a worse system if Miami would have made it.

I think when the playoffs expanded, I think we learned, like, oh, Oregon can actually win the national championship ever. 12 is too many. We're in a world right now where Penn State would make the playoff, and we know that's a problem. We can't let Penn State into the playoff. That's where we have to draw the line.

But I understand your point because Penn State plays Michigan State and they're 12th in the country right now. So they would have to win that game to get it. Billy, I know one thing's Penn State's going so they would have to win that game to get it. Billy I know one thing spend states going to win a national jib but they do get it. I'll tell you what just happened to Billy though Billy just realized never mind who's going to win it clearly. Bonix is going to win the national jib because I said they said they said they will win

national championship. But when everyone he regretted it as soon as he said it. As soon as it left my lips it's come back let's play for the people Jim harbors sound of him being weird because that's the other element we have in this game that uh... you might want to get more used to but this game generally doesn't have also the whole spying controversy that has you know uh... counter stallions basically Michigan didn't get the the bump past Ohio state the last couple of years

Until they started allegedly cheating correct like those two things line up together So you've got that as well and here's Harbaw leaning into it all His lenses are so thick how can he see? He went to look from like zero to blind real quick, right? Like I do not remember him being that blind for a long time. When he was in San Francisco, he did not look like that. What happened to his vision? Well, he's been thinking about his mother in bathing suits, which is what that sound was

about. One piece. Yes, well, I like my locker rooms like I want anyone else think that's unusual. That's in there. It is unusual, but that's what he normally does in press conferences. So that is actually him being normal. Yeah. That clip cut off at the beginning, he referenced Ted Lasso.

So he knew that he was doing like a little play on like Ted Lasso and that stuff. Jim Harbaw wrote that down a few weeks ago and said said, this is really good. He was sitting on it. Yeah. I'm going to find a way to use it and he did. He's a weirdo. Super weirdo. And this is the game that this entire region lives for because Stugants, to have it be your hated rivals, like this has been a month of build up on Ohio State is trying to run Jim Arba out of that job. Like everybody meeting these commissioners getting together and trying to, you know, punish Michigan

and enjoying the punishment of Michigan. Like this is something you'd find at your local optimist league with like a kid's team that was doing too well and people checking birth certificates. Like they're trying to run Jim Harbaugh out of that job. What happens if he shows up? Maybe he's allowed in the stance. In a disguise. I can see it. Yeah. Oh my god. What is just like Connor Stallions and he's just standing right

behind Ohio State's eye line. He should do all of that. What happened? Who's the police that is what are the consequences what are the consequences to Jim harbors showing up in an actual this guy certainly he'll get field access right he'll get he could get it he must to do this harbaugh i'm demanding it of you you want to make fun of the whole system and prove your innocence even though you're not innocent please show up in a disguise on the signlines of that Ohio State game.

I'm Greg Cody, and that's what was meant in my day. DCC Don't Liberty Show with their Stu Gats. Lucy, at what point in the college show, Paul Season, do you start getting sad about it being over?

Army Navy game. Two weeks ago, you've already passed it. Two weeks ago, I was like, man, this is going to hurt like a mother fucker. Felt it, it clums him for sure. But we have, Michigan O'I say this weekend, SEC Championship and then Army Navy. So three more weeks. You're going to do Army Navy or you're going to go to Army Navy? Of course we're going to Army Navy, Dan. That's right, you tell them. That's exciting. Thank you for your service, Paul.

Thank you for your service. Can I say something about Army Navy? Ooh. Don't say it too loud. Be careful if we're on microphones, if we're near a video. It's the important thing. Please be careful.

Can I say something about it? Let's turn everything off if we can. Offers. I love it about that. Let's turn everything off if we can. Offers. I love it. Yeah. What the sport means. In fact, people should be forced to attend these schools. They call it the Golden Generation Bora Reason.

Still got to want to read something here based on what we were talking about yesterday, the conversation around Karissa Thompson, somebody writes in, I love you Dan, but come on. All the things to have issues with in sports, this is the thing you're acting like she committed a crime. Well, you care about journalism. You care about people doing their job and doing it correctly.

You care about the information being accurate and not made up. So I understand why you would have the take you had yesterday and people certainly understand why I had the take that I had yesterday. But it's not even, my take isn't very strong on here or controversial. It's simply saying, hey, you should tell the truth. Like, as a reporter, I don't even think I'm arguing

on behalf, I wasn't crushing charisma. Sometimes I'm just saying, like, making things up, that's not ever been okay, but when people come out with some version of it, it's not the end of the world or she didn't commit a crime. I didn't say she did. I just said that truth matters wherever it is

that you're getting information. Like how, I don't even know, we're about to talk to the author about the Fox controversy and the Dominion voting scandal. Brian Stelter is gonna join us here in a little bit to talk about the truth should matter. And so what about just not lying though? It's not just like, isn't there, there's a gray area

in between the place not lying. A place that I don't think there's a gray area is saying you talk to the coach when you did not talk to the coach. Like I'm not arguing anything here that's controversial. I'm just drawing a line there saying, hey, you shouldn't do that. No, is sideline reporting that important? No, or sports that important? No.

Does this controversy, is it that important by itself? No, but the truth is important Yes, I think in my headers. Yeah, but damn what she's doing or what she did is hey I've done enough of these to know I can't get access to the coach can't find the coach And I know you're gonna say go find the coach or tell us or tell us you didn't find the coach and report on something else Like just throw it right back to the booth. I'm saying is you don't have to make it up. Who does that? Joe, I didn't talk to the coach, but I did have a hot dog.

Back to you. I mean, that's me more honest. I approach Sean Hayden. I'll go down to this weird thing with his hand to shush me away. Thank you, Jim. Yeah. Yeah.

He walked by and said, just make something up. He didn't meet his contractual obligation of being available in this partnership with the leagues that television had. That's something about Moderna and his mom diet. I don't know. That'd be great if coaches actually said to her, hey, no time, just make something up.

You can play like shit, you'll figure it out. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's place to God as there were more water and shower issues in Washington in the Giants Washington game. We have really laughed over the last couple of decades about how poorly Daniel Snyder ran everything in that franchise. And apparently it is not news to many that you're not always going to have a functioning shower situation. So you played an NFL game that hurts. You got

blood in some places. You want to wash off. You want to do so comfortably. You know, it's a billion, multi billion dollar industry. You want a shower like human beings. But here from Tomahawk is Andrew Hawkins and Joe Thomas talking about this isn't even new. There was a report this week about, I think it was the commander's stadium that ran out of hot water and it was a big deal. There was no hot water. I can't tell you how many damn games

that we've played in the league where there was no hot water. Let's, it happens all the time. There's been times and there's been no water period. We get back to the locker room and they have clipped the water. There's been times, there's been no water period. We get back to the locker room and they have clipped the water. There's nothing to take a shower or in a visitor locker room in the NFL, they're, I forget what stadium. Maybe it was Oakland Stadium.

Yep. But there was Oakland for sure. Buffalo was horrible. There's like 15 shower heads. So what 15 shower heads mean for 80 people taking a shower and we have 10 minutes to do it, we literally, this sounds crazy. We had to share showers at the same time.

Oh no. So what happens is, this is, this sounds wow, this is like gonna be a viral moment but I'm telling you how it works. This is no bullshit, joking the test of this. There's one shower going. I stand on one side. Joe stands on the other. And as we're lathering away, one person gets in. They get out. The other person does. And you literally have to share the shower head at the same time. Joe, am I lying?

No, you're absolutely telling the truth. It was disgusting. It was one of those moments where you're like, this is what pro sports looks like. It's like, this is how I wash my children. I put, when they're little, you turn the shower on, you get one rinsed, and then you get them soaked up as the other ones rinsing, but in Oakland, it's legit, or in the old stadium, not nobody plays there anymore. I guess the baseball teams leave in now too, because apparently they had the shower situation in the show.

It's a hall of favor. Joe Thomas, I understand that Cleveland Browns didn't play a lot of winning football, but he was excellent or what he did. Is that Joe's house or is it resort? God, I'm jealous. That looks like a Key West resort. What a reason. He travels a lot. I think I think he's moving to Germany doing. I don't think he's moved just judging by that picture just yet. It looked a bit like the keys is what it looked like to me. There a lot of ocean behind him it might be careliners engulfing though hilton head right there is he in this country is he in this country for sure jotamis with that backdrop it is uh... it is a beautiful backdrop it i don't

think it's a small though makes it a house though then it could be this was mexico i mean i think i made a lot of money i know i'm it's not money that i'm thinking of i just for some reason think of jodhamis living on a property that has a tractor i don't think of it being your water i think that's where jodhamis i think that's where jodhamis not even if vacation it's not just offensive lineman it's this particular offensive lineman didn't he go fishing the day he was drafted yeah like i was before the nfl money hit, but here it looks like he just played nine. I'm not certain if the nine holes aren't in his backyard.

I mean, you think that that, that looks like a resort. That has to, that is not his balcony. That is a balcony from small pool for a resort. I mean, big pool for a house. Not really the point of the school. We got to get to the bottom of this. I'm just trying to get to the bottom. That's too many columns for his own personal rights.

Put that back up. All right, call Andrew Hawkins and call him. You some reporting. Fine, send, or I'll throw it. I'll throw it to you and you just make it up. OK, like I, in fact, you say you talk to Joe for 20 years. You say you talk to Andrew or Joe. No, no, as long as you don't say you talk to Andrew,

you're fine. Let's close the segment. Let's close the segments to God's with what you getting the answer to this because you've texted both Joe Thomas and Andrew Hawkins. I want to get into Chris Cody's fear, irrational fear of Tim Boyle. It's a fear of the unknown. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of him. I just know what I could, I know what I'm getting with Zach Wilson.

And when you name Tim Boyle the starter, it's just those that little smuggling of doubt in my mind of, is there a Tim Boyle being the smuggling? I don't know, man. Just let it, just roll with it. You know what I meant? Is this the next court warner? Is this the next Brock Purdy?

Right, I understand. There's no film on Timmy Boyle. I would have felt better if Zach Wilson was starting as my only point. I still feel great like on the spectrum here of how I feel, but I'm just, Tim Boyle's, there's a mystery there. There is no mystery there.

He's terrible at quarterback and I'll give you some of the stat. He was QB2 to Zach Wilson. When he played at Yukon, his touchdown. Who was the QB1 by the way? That is correct. When he played at Yukon, his touchdown, that is correct. When he played at Yukon, one touchdown, 13 interceptions. Ooh, it's a bad program. What was the schedule like? When he played at Eastern Kentucky, 11 touchdowns, 13 interceptions.

How did he get drafted? A lot more touchdowns. Yeah, much better. In the NFL, he has three touchdowns and nine interceptions. You're simply, Dan, be careful. We're marking the sound. What if Tim Boyle has the game? No, this is what's happened.

Now, Tim Boyle has played enough snaps to throw that many interceptions. Evidently, I think I have that right. I feel like he may have checked in at at a lions Thanksgiving game that I had checked out You don't you don't believe he has played enough. No, wait a minute I'm sure I'm shocked to learn he has that many interceptions because he's played that much football It's not because he's played that much football. It's because he throws a lot of interceptions Well both are a surprise to me. Okay, he's played 18 games since 2019. He's had a full season sample

played 18 games since 2019. He's had a full season sample. Where have these 10 Boyle games been? Most of it was 2021 in Detroit. Of his 73 completion, 61 of them were in 2021 in Detroit, where his record was 0 and 3. Put it on the pole. Is he a boyle on the ass of NFL quarterbacking? I've done some reporting.

You're a writer. On the Joe Thomas situation. You're going to give us the report. I thought to God's was going to give us the report. You got it. I got it. All right, go. Well, at the end of the segment. Okay. I wanted to dismount to the segment. How much time do I need to leave you at the end of the segment? Three seconds. Okay, let me get to more boil information because you fearing him is very fierce. That's not what I said. It's

unknown. It's just I would have felt more confident with Zach Wilson. That's it. It's just a little, he's playing for something. This is his chance. He's thinking right now. This is a good defense I got. This is his moment for his entire, what is he thinking about right now?

I suck. You think Tim Boyle is at his house right now. God, these guys are right. I suck. He's terrible. I could have been shopping today and now I got to play football. No, he's thinking this is my last chance

and I'm going to make the most of it. The other option was Trevor Simian. He's the second string. Zach moved to third. Well, there I could see you fearing. There I could understand something. There I could understand because you have seen that person play football in a way that's not totally in conflict.

You just said that I trust the people that see him every day. Whoever they're seeing at practice, they're putting Tim Boyle ahead of this guy that you just admitted, I'd be okay to be afraid of. What was behind Zach Wilson? Just saying, you just said I could fear Trevor Simion and this guy's ahead of Simion. 40 more than 40 possessions without a touchdown. You have me now rooting for the Jets. What?

Like I want to be right. I want to be right. Tim Boyle probably knows the offense better. Simian came in mid season and he's in the thing. No hack it guy because he was in green baby for. So he knows that bad offense better. Yeah. Well, Garrett Wilson is not bad. He is open. That's bad. Last week. And not while he wasn't his quarterbacks bad. He was not bad. He, he, he, I mean, they have a couple of drops. We know that they have talent. The part though that is funny about your general fear because that league is weird.

That's the Friday game. That's, I'm going to miss that. I'm gonna forget that game. People are gonna forget that that game exists. Impossible. No, stop it. That game dolphins, dude. Sunday's has got.

Amazon's gonna find a way to shove that game down your throat. Whether you're shopping for a toaster, whatever you're doing, you're gonna know the game is on. Boyle, you cannot fear this person, Chris Cody. You see, you're taking my words and you're running with it. Well, it's the, it's the Devito effect. It's the Devito effect is all that's happened here. It's just a sprinkling or a smuggling as you like to say of the DeVito effect You're afraid of a little Italian fingers. That's what you're looking at with his family Micros right at the time share in Mexico. Wow Time share what he felt for that

He watched a presentation putting his hand on his chin Don't lebertard Stugats. This is the Don Lebertar Show with the Stugats. I heard John Oliver the other day, Stugots making fun of Apple Plus television because Apple Plus television is spending extraordinary amounts of money to put famous people in big, giant, epic projects that you're watching that don't seem to be getting very much traction anywhere. And I think John Oliver called it where celebrities go to hide.

You can go and get a big paycheck. You can make something super, super glossy, but so far Ted Lasso and Michael J. Fox's documentary, some things have won some awards, but for whatever the reason is, Apple with all the money in the world, all the competitive advantages is producing good stuff, but isn't quite getting the traction that the world, all the competitive advantages, is producing good stuff, but isn't quite getting the traction that people think Apple Plus should get spending the way that

they are. They are now doing a 10-part documentary on the Patriots, because they're going with glossy brands in sports, right? They're doing magic, Johnson, Steph Curry, They're doing, they're finding whoever it is, the big signature famous things are. And a 10 part, I imagine what that had to cost to get all of those people to agree and to have the NFL sanction.

Hey, we're gonna tell you about the last 20 years. We're gonna do it officially. We're gonna do it with a new league partner on streaming. After Michael Jordan sets the standard and ESPN set the standard at the pandemic We're going to do it with a new league partner on streaming. After Michael Jordan sets the standard and ESPN set the standard at the pandemic, at the start of the pandemic, that if you're really resonating through this time in our sports landscape, you get 10 of these. Jerry Jones is getting, isn't Jerry Jones getting a 10-parter?

Is it a three-parter on Netflix like Like the Reef for Jerry, I believe. The people of this time are now telling their stories and they're telling their stories in the biggest sport, the most popular sport, the sport that they built as we make fun of Belicechek running out of a house and Tom Brady's about to take whichever $375 million job he wants with ownership in the league and with the next stakes on what

Messi is doing, partnering with Apple to bring you the future of what all this shit looks like. All of it, because I don't know what it looks like in 10, 15 years, but I can't imagine a scenario where Apple loses. Like they've got too much money to lose when they're one of the few things that exist that can even buy Disney to prevent itself from losing. It actually looks like Jerry Jones is getting a 10-part documentary.

That's worth $50 million to Netflix, $50 million. Why do you think these things aren't working? Like Apple Plus? I... Well, it's not working well enough because we keep calling it Apple Plus. I know they've rebranded, but it's Apple TV. It is Apple. And then you'll see an Apple TV Plus out there too, but one thing that it is in is Apple Plus anymore. Okay.

Forgive me. It's still Apple, and you know what I'm generally talking about. I know, that's why I didn't make the correction, but I mean, it goes in... It doesn't feel good. Helps with the point. I would have preferred it as a small smack like instead of a full blown spanky. I am, my wife has actually been watching a lot of the Apple TV programming. I had given a couple of things that there was a tryout side of the Ted Lasso phenomenon.

I think it's fair to call that a phenomenon. She watched the morning show and I had watched a little bit and I know that show kind of got off to a slow start, but there's huge stars there, it seems. The morning show was good, the first season and fell apart for me and I didn't really, I usually follow those things through. People tend to have a different reaction in that which is like what the hell is this first season

and then it gets stronger but to each their own. She's watching this Brelarsen show that she is raving about. Blackbird was on there, I love Blackbird. I thought that was phenomenal. Yes, it was good. Yeah, but to your point, they have these massive stars doing big, ambitious projects

with massive budgets. And they're not really generating the type of conversation that Ted Lasso did. I'm just telling you that whenever I scroll through their offerings, what I am seeing, Stugat's in size and scope, feels like Christopher Nolan all over the place. It feels like giant sprawling projects of, you know, about space and the future in science

fiction. And all I see on my screen is not necessarily an interesting story. It's just money. All I see is like, oh my God, how much did all of this cost? And that's just Jennifer Anison's lighting. But you've got no interest in 10 parts of Patriots. I kinda saw it made in the arena a little bit and I lost interest with it.

And I don't know if I had the type of attention span to give a second Patriots documentary a try, even though that one was more about Tom Brady, but come on, Tom Brady is the Patriots. I have an appetite for 10 parts on the Patriots. Is it done in conjunction with the league? Is it being done with the league? I just think all this stuff is done with the league.

Are we green lighting 10 part things? How about we do like one or two parts? And if people like that, let's add other parts. That can't be. That It's not with the water. Yeah. It's not with the brewing. Honestly, the watching experience for everyone. Really?

Then you give the guy an Oscar and you just embolden everyone to not have an editor and just make things drag on and on forever. Jesus. Did things change with the Jordan Dock? I don't understand. Well, he said it's ever- He's saying it's ever- You documentary. I don't mean that. And then they're like, we need more of this.

Okay, sequel. That's the way these things use the work. We had nothing else to do more of this. Okay sequel. That's way these things use to work We had nothing else to do with that time. I mean built but Billy is making it OJ though Billy is making it Edelman who did this that was a little right. Yeah, the the the party parts that Jordan was fine Because like you guys said we had nothing else to do at the time So that was fine like we have nothing but time to sit around and watch We can't even talk to fans familyers can't's a can't go outside, we can't breathe, we can't to wash our grocery bags

and change our own indoor clothes and our outdoor clothes. That was a perfect time for 10 part anything, you know what I mean? We watched a thing about this crazy guy that was like a tiger person and then we got involved in his world of tiger rivals and it's really just like this criminal underworld of people who are acquiring tigers illegally If you're really gonna think about it and exotic animals then we had campaigns where we wanted to get this guy named Joe

exotic out of prison that he was in for maybe trying to murder his competitor who may or may not have murdered her husband and buried her underneath her house That's a once the lifetime. And Doc Antel was like the same one. And then he was on our show every day for like three weeks and then got arrested for of course doing Doc Antel things. We knew the risk. I'll admit it now. We knew the risk. Not of Carol Raskin, we didn't.

We still don't know what the risk is. Baskin, fun. Oh man. $2. Have you considered just like stop using names? Mm. I'm not gonna get a discount. That's getting fun. Oh man. $2. Have you considered just like stop using names? Mm. If you can start general.

Yeah. Are you at that point? Like, because you say the quarterback for the Bears, everyone knows what you're talking about, so. It's gotten that bad. I mean, Tony and Will Bond, know this trick. My favorite part of, like, I don't really watch PTI all that much anymore. But I think sometimes

Tony throws out the device of the kid in Buffalo and Will Bonn just kind of nods along. Because I also don't think he knows the name of Josh Allen right at the top of his head. And then the next like five seconds later, he'll say it and it's like a producer clearly just said it in his ear. You guys wanna work on that? You wanna help me there? No. That's fun. Now clearly just said it in his ear. You guys want to work on that? You want to help me there?

That is fun. That's fun. Now you've got to go for it. What I'm saying is you have very little track record recently of being right on these names. So buy yourself some time. Just say the kid in Buffalo and I'll pipe in. The old murderous woman.

The old murderous woman. Yeah. I'll chop. I'll cut out. I'll help you out. I said chop and say it earlier. It's cop and say man. I wish I'll I'll I'll I'll help you out It's a I said chop and say to her there. It's cop and say man. I wish I I think I should just go fish for it. I should just like toss out to you I'm okay. That's a better way to do it. I'm clearly not disguising it very well

So if I try to help you out well, does it yeah, I guess but can you help me the front end the big armen Kansas City Oh what a good quarterback. Yeah, and I'll feed you that's Patrick mom's And you want you want to do it that way. Yeah, the kid the big arm. Yeah Yeah But with haircut the haircut in Kansas City. What's his name? I Don't think that's a good way to do this But help me here with the chargers. With how some of this stuff ages to got, because I am watching, right?

I've gotten caught here in a YouTube algorithm that's just giving me a whole bunch of, you know, Gary Shanling and Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman, where I just get, oh, you're with the times. No, this is this is. You get the thing where it's like half the screen is the comedian and the bottom half of the car and going down like a video game thing. Do you guys get these things?

Dancing only person that gets literal reels. Why, why he goes on IG? I think just deliver him things on a reel. I'm always watching a car just going down some ramp. Is that a game that you can play that they're like overlaying over the video? It must keep our attention more, because I watch them.

I'm like, I'm listening to this fun content, and I gotta see if this car makes this bottom. This is a car gonna make it over this gap, it's sideways. I also like the one where it's like 10 miles an hour, car going into a wall. Here's 30 miles an hour, and you get to see the AI of what cars look like smashing into walls.

I don't know if they're a sponsor, but the Ford Bronco seems very unsafe. Yeah, it does. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Back to your comedy, though. So, uh, so we like jeeps here. It also feels unsafe to say that without no,

anything from Bill Sattel. I think we're safe. We love the sponsors. Uh, Shane Gillis has, uh, is now all over to be more modern slightly more modern than the group that I'm getting. But within that something happened last night because to got all of this is changing late night is gone it exists is social media clips it doesn't even matter anymore to the younger generation the Colbert and Letterman were on together.

We'll consume it in clips. We won't tune in. We won't do it the way we've done it. Joe Rogan is the new Johnny Carson. He's the new Saturday night live. Saturday night live only has half his reach. He makes comedians now more than Saturday night live. Saturday night live.

Very diverse now. Comedy gone. Joe Rogan is the kingmaker now. He's the one who will make Shane Gillis millions. Shane Gillis exists as an entity now in the new marketplace, you got's, and he's taking a new lane, because this guy's dangerous.

There aren't many dangerous going now. Taking notes, diverse means not funny. That's whether you said it, I'm not correcting you. You're cooking. Shane Gillis is getting hugely popular and he's funny and he's funny at least in part because he looks just like Chris Cody. I mean he's aiming for me target hit. He's got you. He's got you. There's so many like you. Thank you, I think. And he's doing it all himself and it's got smart elements like the Louis C. K. Stugots and Chris Rock sort of changed some of this where they

made you think about some of this stuff really seriously. And now all of a sudden comedians are like, Oh, not that seriously. Don't take me that seriously. And he's found, Shane Gillis is found to a reach through this podcast Spreading Sphere where comedians have found the safe spaces for themselves where they're not going to get canceled because they're making their own rules in a new economy away from late night next to Joe Rogan. They are dominating the podcast. I'm not going to use the word grift because I know that that's coded, but there is a wide lane here for stand-up comedians in this era to go into the warm bosom

of the disenfranchised white man. I'm not saying this in an insulting way. It's almost better for you to be too hot for the left. And I'm a men's right activist. And like that's really where a lot of money is for a lot of these dudes making big-time specials now. Independent, too, because he's a powerhouse on his own and he invented it himself after it was too hot for Saturday night life.
