You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshou with the Stugats Podcast. Stugats is weekend observations, midweek observations, off of the weekend are going to be up here in a couple of minutes. I was stunned, Stugots, while flipping through the channel the other day to learn that the walking dead is still out here doing it. The walking dead only one character remains as far as I could tell and they were putting his name on everything Darryl Dixon

The heart throb who is you know been the stars now the star of the walking dead because there are none left Are you guys surprised that that is still out here? They have been the entire time in search of supplies trying to survive for what is it now more than more than at 10 seasons. Dan, I quit watching the Walking Dead in 2012 and it's still going. How deep did you get into it because it was at one time the number one show in America. You were two years in because it started 2010. So I got to about the third time they thought they found salvation, but turns out the humans may be worse than the zombies.

And after that, I was like, all right, this is enough. I think this is a spinoff show. It looks like I think it's called the Walking Dead Dead City because it seems like the Walking Dead ended in 2022 and then in 2023, they started the Walking Dead Dead City. 20 that you can't kill it. They're walking. So you're saying this is a different show. They've just taken it, spun it off, and it's a different zombie show with the same main

character and still with the Walking Dead in the title, but not the Walking Dead. But also they have another spin off called Fear the Walking Dead, which is a prequel or some, I really, yeah. Like there's another one called Fear the Walking Dead. Really mean to talk about Stugots when you're sitting right here, guys. Why is it that we're so fascinated by the zombies? Why is it that we're so fascinated by the zombie movies?

That has no business lasting for 14 or 15 years. That has no business being the number one show in America. Oh, it's not the number one show. No, well, but it was. It was. Why are you saying it has no business being the number one show in America. Oh, it's not the number one show. No, well, but it was. It was. It was. Why are you saying it has no business? That's not only at a time, you know,

the same show. Again and again, it's the only zombie show to ever hit number one through God. It hasn't happened before in the history of American television. We've been fool around with zombies for a while. And this is the one that's gotten to be the one that I think helped establish an entire channel. Didn't they? Didn't the walking dead at one time? I believe I might not have this right, but I think that they introduced me.

Was it IFC? What channel were they on a walking down was on AMC? AMC has been with that had mad men Breaking bad they had other shows movie theaters to doubt that is a fine I see F. I called it I have see I don't know what that is I have that's a fighting thing No, I have see as a channel that of documentary now rock Meyer was on rock my was on I have see it Thank you. I mean no problem. I'm here for you. We'll add your wheelhouse. I appreciate channels. I appreciate you being helpful. You need a loan or what's going on here? Just being the number one show. If the walking that doesn't have business, also, I have seen is the way people in Australia call the conference at the chiefs plan. It's the I have say versus the NF say in the Superbell Wow

He was he was working on a no J Simpson. Oh boy impersonation. Oh, man. Just careful how far you take that one juice. Oh Billy No, he was on camera on a mason show. It is what it is. That he is their NFL expert that they're bringing on every one of them. And that Roy's podcast and Tony Brown and Tony Brown as well. He's not just that. That is funny though. You know, I mean, that is funny.

And Tony Brown and O.J. Simpson as what is funnier? Whitlock going warrants app and Brett Farve. Did he? Yes. Oh, I think so. Did he? Yes. The real, I think so. I might have gotten butted. No, Brett Farve is on that show, but specifically mentioned we cannot talk

about the welfare situation, which is like, okay. Wait, he said that on air? No, I think that was in the contract. It's like there's only one thing Brett Farve can't talk about. He's feeling from poor people. The thing that people would talk to him about. So, he is litigress. So, his dingo, that's the one. Alangently. Yep, that people would talk to him about. So he is litigis. So his

dank though, that's fine. Yeah, that's in play. That's. Hello, X world. Me, yours, Julie. You know, I was on a podcast yesterday with two rappers, Cameron and me. How was his analysis? He's affable. He's like a bolt. He's getting old, man. He had a Greg Cody kind of just stuttering, mumbling his way through. Time to remember the name of the USC starting quarterback. Okay, Caleb Williams. Oh, just like, geez, man. I was like, God, juice is getting old. Not quite worth the squeeze anymore. Stugots, what are we headed for when Stugots during the break, he is salivating, not unlike when David Samson was delighted and radiant at the idea of ripping off Bob Ross. Stugots during the break couldn't get enough of this story of Caleb Williams using USC

as leverage against the NFL. Because to gots, if we're going to make a salary cap for rookie quarterbacks at the most important position in the NFL, but we're not going to do it in college. Right. And you have a pick that can totally change your program and be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Mm-hmm. When the rookie scale for quarterbacks has now made it so that the guys in the NFL aren't making as much as Caleb Williams, that is a change that I don't believe that Major League football was ready to have from its minor league football product. It's been a, the cartel has kept the injustice as order a long time because football has a free minor league. It's an amazing

deal for professional football to have all the liability elsewhere, no responsibility. And then everyone gets pipelined to you and you can control the costs at quarterback. But in college, if you're going to have Deon Sanders or Texas state be able to reinvent itself from one year to the next, if quarterbacks are going to be that valuable, that's a huge leverage point because Caleb Williams is the reason that Lincoln Riley is worth that much. It's not just Lincoln Riley. It's that he comes to your program with Caleb William. Danny, one of the high's been trophy last year. He's likely going to win it again this year.

What delights me about the story is that the player finally has the power. There's more to that story where Caleb and his dad are railing against the draft and how it's done saying that the best kids go to the worst possible situations, the worst teams. And that's not fair to some of these kids. And my kid doesn't want to go to the worst possible situations, the worst teams, and that's not fair to some of these kids, and my kid doesn't want to go to the worst team. He wants to go to a good team, and therefore, he is willing to wait out because he'll make the money. He is willing to wait out. If he doesn't like the team that has the first big this year, he is willing to wait and play another year in college and make more money than he would have in the NFL and wait for the next season's draft.

I love that. So this is very similar to what's happening in women's college basketball, where Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are making millions of dollars on NIL and like what's waiting for them on the other side of this amateurism is literally a 80% pay cut to go play in the WNB.

So they're like, you know, Angel Reese had the comment earlier this year that even if I was eligible to go pro right now, I wouldn't. Why would I leave? I'm making so much more money. I'm having fun. Why would I do this?

Isn't this what we all wanted? They're staying in school longer. They have more time to get an education now. Who's mad? Come on, let's get it extra year of school. You got the Arizona Cardinals appear to be tanking for Caleb Williams. Yes. And in the case of Arizona, it might be a bad situation, but at least it's not a bad city in your Caleb

season. I love it. But but if your Caleb Williams, you may not want to go to an outpost city because the draft is such an incredible stupidity. The idea that someone would have value coming out of college and would have to work in Green Bay, Wisconsin when they're valuable enough to work anywhere in the United States is one of the constructs that all of this is going to shake and tatter because the control, you've seen what the control of the players has done to professional basketball. I mean, it didn't take very long for it to contaminate and corrode everything. Now give that chaos of power to college kids. Give it to college kids and their parents. And it's not going to be

quite as neat and tidy as Archie Manning making sure that Eli Manning got to New York because he didn't want him in San Diego. It's going to be something that I don't think the NFL is prepared for. Can we play the sound of the Arizona coach? It's his last name, Ganon. His name is Jonathan. Jonathan Ganon. Jonathan Ganon. This is this. The Arizona Cardinals head coach, the new head coach. He came out and gave the new guardian of victory.

Thank you. I mean, yes, the new, well, but he's not the guardian victory. He's the guardian of losing and tanking. And this enthusiasm is what you expect. He's in front of his players, all of whom you can hear, losing belief in their coach by the syllable. Welcome back. Who drove over here? Quick, let me see your hands. Who took the bus?

Did you have fire in your gut? Did you? We're here for a reason. Don't get that twisted. Okay, we're here for a reason to win games. So if you didn't have that fire in your gut, you'd better light the fire pretty fast. Be who you are. Just understand, I'm looking for f***ing killers.

The guy on the diarrhea plane had the fire in his gut. I'm not sure about anyone in that room though. They couldn't even make that inspiring with the inspiring music. And that's the crazy part about this. You might say, well, I mean, this is some other media company trying to make them look at it was released by the Cardinals. This is their show that they produce. And it's edited.

So like that 30 second clip is like probably a five minute speech. And they're like, I need the best of it. And then the players are just like, they're really bored. Just blanks there. The way he scratches his head, you ride the bus here. Like, there's no, there's no way you can tell me that this person is a professional leader of men, right? Roger Bell tells a story about like, you can tell when a coach is in over his head because

by the way, he holds a clipboard the first time. Is it, if that thing looks like a noodle, like, we're in, we're in for a long one. I can tell though whether a coach is in over his head when he's asking professional football players if they took the bus to practice. That question also went nowhere, right? Because we just moved on to like, I need fire in your belly. Mm-hmm. That I love though. I mean, I need fire in your belly. Mm-hmm. And I love though, I mean, fire in the gut.

You have to have that, he's right. You got to deliver it though. You got to be, do you have fire in your belly? I'm like, is anyone have fire in their body? How'd you get here today? I need some f*** killers. Any killers here? No, okay.

Can we play the sound of the diary, a plane pilot talking about the passenger who did have fire in the belly. It's just a bile hazard issue. We've had a passenger had Diary all the way to the airport, so they want to come back to Atlanta. Only one thing worse than waddling through a plane with Diary on the intercom being called a bile hazard issue. the biohazard is. Don Lebertard number three Chick-fil-A waffle fry.

Yeah, we can get by. Love it. I mean, I think it's an overrated. You guys go catch up or Chick-fil-A sauce when you have the Chick-fil-A. Paul, I'll leave you and me. That's my brother right there. Good call. You're my brother.

Stugots. Oh my God. What a weird interaction. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? Wow. This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats. In this time for the Stugats to share his game notes, no one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy stew weekend observations excuse me

allergies brought to you by Miller Lite Great taste 96 calories available for delivery Din when he retired I Like many when he retired. I like many figured his weekly podcast that is distributed as a radio show would go by the wayside. I was wrong. His endless quest to keep Jim Gray relevant continues because yesterday as I was driving around, I heard a poorly red, very stiff promotion of the show we have all come to love.

Ed Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it. Tom Brady's weekly show, predictably named, let's go, is back. I don't know why you sidetracked poor Jim Gray. Jim Gray, what do you mean? All the favor. I know he is Billy was telling me during the break that Brady just signed a new deal with somebody and none of us understood it

He has now partnered with Delta Airlines as an advisor. What kind of advisor? It's very vague strategic Perhaps I think that it says something about he's including general greatness is what his job is Often advising advice to go greatness advice number one. No diary on planes. It's happening. When do you think the last time Tom Brady flew in Delta was? Speaking of back US tennis. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's all I'm USA. Also in one day, the NFL is back. Hey soccer, it was nice knowing you. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Dabo Swinney gets scoot. You heard it here first and Deon Sanders will be the next head coach at Florida State. Nothing says the Atlantic Coast Conference, like two schools on the Pacific Coast and one school named Southern Methodist University. The ACC, SMU, the Mustangs, had no idea Frank Beamer's son was a cock

Dan what I tell you about going into Salt Lake City on a Thursday night, huh? Huh? Who's laughing now? You said provo. Yeah, I did Cal could play Georgia a thousand times and it still would not be arrival. George Tech. Randall and Rick. Yeah, but it was Georgia Tech. I know I wrote it. Why to write? But Cal and Georgia could do it too and it still would never be a rivalry. I've got to be honest. He's right. There is no school in the

SEC that Cal could play a thousand times and you would consider it a rival Right, but it was an ACC joke. I know he's still right It is fairly amazing that this is what is researched and written down Want me to do it again? I mean Georgia Tech where did he log? Oh? It's true. They wouldn't have a rivalry, even if they played a thousand times. Any ACC school? Name one.

If Cal played a thousand times, where you would be glued to the Tha- I don't know if Cal having a lot of football rivalries. Stanford. Thank you. He's got to there. You did. That's an ACC school. Right. Ordinal.

Yeah. US open shot of the day brought to you by Moderna. Cute. University of Miami. Do it against anyone else. Even cuter when the Moderna shot of the day comes off the racket of no vac joke of itch, the Joker, all the sudden Stanford has an offense, Aaron Rogers and no vac joke of itch, a couple of unvaccinated guys cutting it up.

How do you enjoy that Aaron Rogers is on Harnock's talking about UFOs and stuff? I love it. It'ss. I love it. It's so, I love it. This guy was... I have a quarterback. So I'm careful. I'm on everything he said, publicly five years ago. He's going to be the host of Jeopardy.

He has totally stopped caring what anyone thinks about anything that he says. Just remember now today that you love the UFO talk. So like if something happens, and you're one in four, we remember you love the UFO talk. I love the UFO talk. I've been one in four before, Billy. That's not a threat.

I live in one in four. One in seven, perhaps you're onto something. Anyway, where was it? That can't happen if he's healthy. One in seven? Anything could happen to the jet. That can't happen if he's healthy. Schedule is tricky. It's all inside.

They said the Mets couldn't be bad if they were healthy, Dan. One in seven is not how Aaron Rogers' team is gonna start. The Bill's Cowboys Patriots Chiefs. You want to do wins losses, Stan. It's tough. There's a path. To one in seven, yes, there is. Eagles in there.

We have chiefs. That's a loss. You mentioned the chiefs, they played the chiefs twice. Is they the chargers? Same division now. They play the chargers. That's later in the season. Right? Stanford is going to be a force to reckon with for decades in the

ACC. Brett Gabbart terrible JT Daniels Jessica Ways. He's been talking Stanford for a while. He just bet one game and I lost it. What is happening with Stanford?

Because you keep raving about the Stanford offense. I lost it. I like what is happening with Stanford? Because you keep raving about the Stanford offense. I thought they were pretty, they weren't very good in the first week. Where are they? They're fine. They played Hawaii. I don't know, I don't know what you're doing. What do you mean?

Just in general. They have an offense now. JT Daniels, right? Hey, cars. I think three beeps is enough to let me know. JT Daniels, rice. Hey, cars. I think three beeps is enough to let me know. My seatbelt is on. I get it. You know what?

Put it on the pole. Jesus. I just stop. I know. Hey, car. I think three beeps is enough to tell me my seatbelt isn't on. Yes or no?

You could just put the seatbelt on as well. You could. Or you could just argue with the beeps and the cars. Why did you wear your seatbelt? I, you know what, sometimes you're driving out of the garage here, you don't have the seatbelt on, until you get to the bottom, I'm putting on, I'm just lugging in ways, I'm doing a lot of things.

You're like stuck in 1970, where you're driving without a seatbelt, you're smoking like if nobody's business, like, you're right, I have stuck in the 70s. I feel like we overlooked that Brett Gabbard joke. Right, that was a good joke. I know, thanks. I, stuck in the 70s. I feel like we overlooked that Brett Gabber choke. That was a good joke. I know. Thanks. I I was on an airplane. Should I have felt unsafe? I walked into the bathroom and there was an ass tray in there.

And I'm like, how old is this airplane? And can I be can I trust this tube to get me where I'm going? He didn't smoke one or Tom Brady will fix that. Here's a list of things. I rather do than watch I will play football Anything Dan you know what the I and I was stands for I'd rather watch anything than watch I will play football About that cut you off there. You heard it here first Deon Sanders will be the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. If hunting, isn't it least a hobby for Sam Hartman?

I simply don't know what's what anymore. Put it on the pole, dude, you, if hunting isn't a hobby for Sam Hartman, do you know what's what anymore? At least a hobby, at best a passion. you know what's what anymore? At least a hobby at best a passion. I know he fishes. I don't know if he hunts. Huh? Was Jen lot on stills? That was a good outfit.

I like the pants though. No back joke of it. Underrated ass. You see it in more ways than one. You saw it. You looked up like you saw it. I know what he's talking about. He's a professional tennis player. The greatest ever. He's using his glutes a lot. I suspect that tennis is replete with unbelievable asses. I hate to say it, but Monday night feels like a must win for the jets. Too bad.

There was another Sanders. He can't do it. He can't do it unless the music is right. I need the music. He needs his music in order to feel right and be properly inspired. No, you wait for it. Let's get in there. All right.

All right, that's good enough. OK. Too bad there wasn't another Sanders that we could have given credit to for that amazing victory by Colorado. Deon Sanders was the third most important Sanders on the field for the TCU Colorado game. Third most. Third. Third.

Third. Few things better than a pot of meatballs. Top five pots of all time. Top five pots of all time. This is exciting. Wonder what number one's gonna be. Number five. Hey, pot calling the kettle black. Number four. Chris Cody just I saw I'm reading lips. He just shouted, oh shit. And which is basically, he's been on a surf board of feces all

shop. Like he's terrified. Because things are moving very fast. I'm riding it with him. I don't like this job. Number four. Apotomy balls. Number three. Yes. B balls. Okay. Number three, Rosavelt Pots.

Number two, Apata Gold at the end of the rainbow. That's number two. Yeah. Number one, marijuana. Watch out for the Marlins. Oh, really? Formula one, Max Versteppin is bad for your sport. Versteppin Versteppin. I don't care how you pronounce it. It's bad for the sporty wins every damn week.

I already missed the pack 12. Usually what? They say when you have three quarterbacks, it means you don't have one except for Alabama. When they say they have three quarterbacks, they have three quarterbacksbacks, they have three-quarterbacks. We'll see. They did blow out the team that beat Miami last year though, middle Tennessee. I drove a hundred yards past my golf ball in the 14th hole of Eagle Trace. People were watching me from their back yards and they were laughing at me. I was high. Yeah.

Number one pot. Jalen Noelro. Holy shit. Italen Nullro. Holy shit. That's all I got. Don't look now, but Penn State has a quarterback. I just don't know his name. Drew Alar. Oh, he's good.

He was pretty good. Yeah. Hope everyone listened to me and spent the weekend doing everything they needed to do for their wives to get them through the next six months. Dennis Schroeder is German. Huh. Dan, you know what the S&S Schroeder stands for?

I do not. Schnitzel. If Kenny Smith was German, his nickname would have been the Jetta. I mean, why are you looking at the Gugonz that way? Because I was a terrible joke. If Eli Apple were German, his nickname would be Apple Strutal. 73 to 7. The Mercy Rule should be called the Mercer Rule. How about that?

It's all fire. If I buy the Cheech and Chong gummies, will the ads go away? Oh my God! How was it that paid? fire. If I buy the Cheech and Chong gummies, will the ads go away? Oh my God. How was it? They pay? Lino Messi said he lived through hell playing for PSG. Lino Messi, I'll live in hell forever for $55 million. Speaking of hell or briles, Dan, those are the weekend observations. Put it on the pole, please. Would you live in hell forever for $55 million? Double nickel.

Don Lebatard. Mino Hasson. Spugats. This is the Don Lebatard show with the Spugats. Stugots, I am taking applicants on something that I miss very much from my sports now that Urban Myers not coaching a professional or amateur football team. My football weekends were made better by enjoying and allowing myself to enjoy the misery of Urban Myers when he was losing and getting embarrassed. I've gotten tired of this over the years with Nick Sabin and Floyd Mayweather. to enjoy the misery of Urban Meyer when he was losing and getting embarrassed. I've gotten tired of this over the years with Nick Sabin and Floyd Mayweather. I need a new applicant for a person

I'm going to enjoy their suffering. And Brian Kelly put in his nomination. Oh, yes he did. Over the weekend because I did feel like a whole lot of people were enjoying that his LSU team because he really he arrived at the gold rush early, Stugots. He saw the business opportunity in front of him quicker than most and he got to LSU, got to a good job.

And I don't think Notre Dame's any worse because he's not there anymore. And over the weekend, do I have this right? Did Brian Kelly tell everybody that they were going to kick the ass of FSU? And then he denied telling everybody that they were going to get their ass kicked by LSU? Let's listen for ourselves. Here's the clip from his LSU coaches show before the FSU game. We're going to go beat the heck out of Florida State. Wow. I'm proud of having about that. Yeah. Hey, look at it. If I had a time capsule for the future

to explain to people how passionate people were about college football ones, what is that? That's a little unfair. It's me like fading out. You know, it's just like a little clip at the end. I thought it was right. It sounds like they're doing the way.

Yeah. But he denied it. He denied that he had said that. And then at the end. I thought it was right. It sounds like they're doing the wave. Yeah. But he denied it. He denied that he had said that. And then after the game, he was asked about it. Hey coach, this quote that was going around, we're going to beat the heck out of Florida State. It's my understanding that you said that at your coach's show in jest, and it was taken out of context.

I have no idea. I mean, I think you all know me. I'm pretty careful with what I say and how I said it. Never have I been cavalier or disrespectful to an opponent in my 33 years. So if somebody wants to prop up a comment like that and inflate it into something that it is not, that's what social media is about today.

But I have nothing but the utmost respect for coach Norville. I know who the opponent was. It's just not in my background or nature to make those kinds of comments. It sounded like he did not make in the comment. Then he confirmed he made it, but why are you guys popping it up? And then he ended it with denying it again. I will say this, whatever you say during a coach, you show if you're the coach, it's in front of a live audience. You didn't really say it. It doesn't matter. You're just saying it to say it. You're saying it to placate the fans. I know what I wasn't sure where Stugats was going with this, but it's not your worst take. If you say it during a coach or show or a pep rally, maybe, you know,

carte blanche, you could just say, it should not be an asterisk on it. You're just trying to pump up the crowd. I don't hate it, Stu. And this is how Stu justifies lying to the audience every day is that he's doing it for an audience. So yeah, I can say whatever I want. It doesn't really count on my personal record. Because the guy, I'm doing the coaching show

every day of his life. Ah, ha, ha, ha. We have been, we have been remiss here for several weeks now because Stu Godds has been saying that he has an adjustment to make to his personal record book and we haven't gotten to it at any point and it usually is something that we take everything else away in order to make room for it. So what is your announcement? Not so much an adjustment as much as an update. The book has been written. I have a big meeting on Friday. I cannot believe this. With some literary powerhouses.

Did I say that word correctly? You got scared of it. You just had them both wrong. Literary powerhouses. Billy, why are you shaking your head? No. I'm just, no, I'm just, I'm experiencing this like the rest of you.

Go on. So anyway, we have, thank you, Billy, for your support. So I have the personal record book. It has been written. I wrote some of it. Someone else the rest of you. Go on. Anyway, we have the thank you, Billy, for your support. I have the personal record book. It has been written. I wrote some of it. Someone else wrote most of it.

Ghostwriter. We have a big meeting Friday morning, Dan, and I am telling you, excuse me, right now, what time is it? Hold on. What time is it? Allergy is up. What time is that meeting? Because we have a recording that day.

Friday morning we do. Yes. This one's at 11. Okay. And so the update that I have is I think Friday, C-O-B, at least that's what I'm telling everyone in the meeting, I will have a book deal done and my personal record book will be written, it has been written, it will be published, and I believe that our fans will support this so much

that I will be on the New York Times bestseller list. I'm serious. I'm very excited about this. Thank you to everyone who made it happen, especially the Ghost Writer. A fan already wrote one of your personal records five years ago. It was flimsy. I mean, close. No, I appreciate the fan doing it.

He mailed me a copy of it. It just wasn't what I envisioned for my personal record book, but I appreciate it. What you should say is your personal record book is going to beat the heck out of all the other books on the New York Times best salary list. And then if it doesn't, you could just say like that, I didn't say that. It was taken out of context if I did say it, but I didn't say it. Can I get the full context of the awkwardness on the coaches show. I am excited. I am excited for you. I'd be more excited if I actually thought that this was going to happen because I've been hearing

about it for years. So you would understand my general skepticism about this actually happening. You understand you've been saying for 10 years you're going to do this and now you haven't even done it. You're saying it's been farmed out. I have confidence that someone else might do it. Well, we did it together, Dan, but I'm telling you, you know me, I would not waste John Skipper's time. He's going to be on the call. I would not waste John Skipper's time unless the book was done and the book is done. I want to know if you're dictating to a ghost writer, is it just like personal record books sick and like every other word is like dot dot dot sick. Yeah. Billy, what kind of conditions? What kind of condition are you in? Because you don't you don't seem like you this

is something that you're meeting with enthusiasm is book. It's not a thing. The segment. Real. Yeah. This book's not real. We'll see. There have been meetings. There have been meetings before. Get me the full context of the Brian Kelly awkwardness. I have like the full quote. I don't have him saying it. But essentially what he says is we're going to take 15 freshmen on this trip and 14 transfers. Nearly 40% of this travel roster are going to go overnight for the first time with LSU. And that's not a disclaimer of any kind. We're going to beat the heck out of Florida state. But what I'm saying is we're still

developing our football team with new players, freshman players, transfer players. We're still in that process of developing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So it was in the middle of a paragraph where he was talking about like the new make up of their team. But he said this in front of the awkwardly reacting fan base. We're going to go beat the heck out of Florida State. I still don't understand. I don't understand that sound or what is happening there. Are they just shocked that their coach said something interesting? If I told you no other context, let's close our eyes for a second. And I've told you nothing else. It's not a coach.

It's radio show. You're not allowed to guess this. You don't know that it's Brian Kelly. You're just walking through the wild. What is this in the jungle? A You're just walking through the sea. See? A surprised animal of some sort that's been stepped on. It's a vulture. We should play it for Ron McGill and ask him what animal yes we should ask him that's a good that is good idea.

Can you also- A colossal waste of his time. Yes that also is what it would be. The whole show is. Can you get for me as well because I believe we skipped right past a real Flem Monster, where is the money that you were supposed to pay? I forgot about it. I already they put it in the piggy bank already.

Yes, there's a piggy bank going there. Yes, it got put over there. We have to have a better, more secure system than this. It can't just be a piggy bank. It's a piggy bank. How can it get more secure? You're right. Just pick it up and walk away. You're right.

Play the else. I'm with Lewis on this. I'm with Lewis on this. Oh, oh. I'm with Lewis on this. The wetness that you hear. I'm with Lewis on this. I almost ran.

It's $5 is the final. I'm with Lewis on this. Ridiculous5 is the final. I was a little bit so that's ridiculous. So guys, for a couple of days now, I want to understand what your viewpoint is on this because for a couple of days now, you've been making the point that it has bothered you. All of a sudden in 2023 that a coach in college football is getting the attention for all of his players

who are wearing face masks instead of the players. And I thought that's what college football did in college basketball for that matter. Because the, the, there's so much roster turnover, I thought we were all in agreement. We're going to make the Guardians of Victory, the famous people in that sport. But on Deon Sanders, you're getting annoyed that one of the most famous and outspoken to ever hold the position that that one who one of the most famous and outspoken to ever hold the position that that one who comes into the game famous. Right.

So, ESPN today was debating, is he already the college, the face of college football? Is Deon Sanders already the face? Because he's walking into the arena as already hugely famous. Why are you doing this to De Dion when Brian Kelly benefits from the same thing? I'm not doing anything to Dion. My problem is not with Dion. My problem is with the media giving all the credit every single bit of it. Come on, man. I'm sorry. Allergy is man. I've jumped up about the book that cannot be $5 again. I held it back. And so anyway, my... Look at the face Jessica's face.

You literally held it. Like he caught it in the air. It's also that chick-a-lay out there. It's very greasy. Not gonna my throat. I had two teeth taken out. There's a lot going on. Thank you.

And so my problem is not so much with Dion. What, why did you think? Oh, I needed it. It was a transition. So I thanked him for it, you know? Good job, but thank you again. And so my problem is not so much with Dion. It's the media being so lazy and giving all the credit every single bit of it to Dion Sanders. His sum was out there,

played a well of a game. I mean, there were kids on that team that did a lot more. In terms of helping that team win the Deon Sanders data plus the we fence gave up 40 plus points. And here we are. Okay. Give it Deon Sanders, all this credit for beating TCU, beating a quarterback in his first start ever at the college level. Like give me a break. We're just giving him too much credit. Let's see how we does five six games in. He does deserve a lot of credit, though. Like he's the one who put the team together and had them ready to play in week one. It's, you know, hard it is to put together a brand new roster, which by the way,

like, he is the reason that it's a brand new roster. I'm not saying he's not, but like, I expected them to not have the, like I expected like procedural penalties. I expected them to not look like they were ready to play in a huge game and they were. He deserves all the credit for that. He made great hires.

He recruited all of those players himself and two of them are his kids. Like, he should get a lot of credit. He deserves all the credit for that. He made great hires. He recruited all of those players himself. And two of them are his kids. Like he should get a lot of credit. He made Colorado cool. Do you know what hard that is to do in this day and age? On the road. When everyone on this show I say he was going to win a game.

You guys are all sort of scheduled. I'm going to say that. No, I said the wins total was three and a half and that would be really hard. But that he deserves credit for everything else that he's done there, which is made Colorado cool and gotten them a really solid media partnership for the next 10 years. Question, as a news story, if they don't win another game while you're along, is that

great? Is that great for us as a news story? He's great being at the center of all of this. Doesn't matter what happens. what happens.
