Plus, Dan tries to cleans the palate with some football talk but struggles with the name Incarnate Word and derails the show. Then, Greg Cote mispronounces a Heisman candidate's name as he gets caught up in his excitement about Cam Ward, only throwing the show off the rails even more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris, your father doesn't like when I accuse him of being discombobulated. He's been wrestling with his phone and it's dinging the entire time he's been here.

And I gotta be honest, people don't see Greg Cody during the breaks, but they will see that he's beaten down on a couple of fronts because A, he's saying this is gonna be a rough night tonight in the Cody household. Just a rough night. Going pessimistic. Unless it isn't. CFP guy?

But he's also, this this i think we underestimate around here the codies are a proud dolphins family the biggest fan in their household is mom she by far she is by far the biggest fan that the codies have in their household chris and greg care. She has been slaughtered by this season. Dolphin fans dared to hope, dared to hope this would be the year they would get past Buffalo. And a proud dolphin family collapses in plantation tonight,

scared of the election, bolting their doors. The Cody's, Greg's not himself today. You laugh, Greg's not himself today. He's rattled. It is a weird day. My mom's a misery to watch dolphin games with, by the way. Oh, she really is. My God, like, even when things are going well,

like just every play, oh, she just like makes these, I don't watch games with her anymore. She expects the worst, is she wrong? I'll FaceTime with her at a point in the game, maybe, but like, it's just like, I can't deal with your noises. No, she's a fatalist, and an example is, at halftime, I forget the exact score at halftime but the Dolphins were playing you know they were in the game and her comment was at least we're not being embarrassed. That's

her watching a Dolphins game. That's a QL. Yeah exactly. That is how we felt actually watching that Bills game. All right so you guys are winning at halftime 10 to 6. Quality loss. Yes they were winning 10-6 and at least they weren't embarrassed. Greg Cody is now holding up a judge's scorecard last night for the Chiefs. I'm good with Greg Cody gets to decide whether something's a 10, a nine, an eight,

a seven or a six as a victory. Because I think that Greg Cody was so impressed by the Buccaneers last night, that he'd be willing to give the Buccaneers about as many points on his judges scorecard today as he gave the Chiefs even though the Chiefs won the game because Greg, Billy and Stugatz want to eradicate wins and losses and they just want to be the deciders of who's good and who's not good. So you want Judge Sport. You want Greg to assign a number to the Chiefs win? I think you should do that and I'll sign

a number to the Bucs loss, okay? All do that and I'll assign a number to the Bucks loss, okay? All right. So you guys are gonna get to a position where you give more points for the loss than you do for the victory. We'll see. I don't like what we're doing around here, but it is what the committee is doing tonight, correct?

We're all in agreement that this is all stupid, everything that we're doing with football. Football? Are you kidding me? Look at the election. Someone's gotta lose that thing and possibly win that thing What are the next couple of days going to be like like we make the you guys are preparing I think you know first everyone knows I think everyone knows what the next couple days and weeks and months

Potentially are gonna gonna be like hopefully one week. Let's just let's just get there by Friday potentially are gonna be like. Hopefully one week. Let's just get there by Friday. Okay, but wait, you guys are filing a lot under that. You're expecting violence, correct? Whoa, no. No, I'm saying that. In the Bengals-Ravens game?

Yes, I mean, of course. I keep reading that. I'm really disappointed to see that. There's already been violence against poll workers, like starting last week, so yeah, I mean. You can't go from, look look guys we've been like we've turned January 6 as a date into an argument when it's not an argument this isn't going to just be stuffed down quietly if it loses and and it's my original point days weeks months we know

I mean we've seen it before we We saw the first season, it got renewed for a second, so here we are. Hopefully this is like the bridge to the finale. I don't know what's going to happen. I keep reading that if Trump loses that there will be violence by the mega crowd. I don't know. I have to think that in the lesson learned category that if somebody tries to storm the Capitol again, they going to see the u.s. military there with his more stories he's not he's more desperate than he was back then because the choice now is between do i get to be king of religious america or do i change all of the laws democracy and freedom and get to be king of religious america or do die in prison? You're going to get the most

desperate him like it's going to it's going to feel make January 6th feel small by comparison because he wasn't as desperate then as he is now. I'm trying to be chill man. I'm really not trying to follow that. Let's just see what happens. Seriously like I'll react to that vibe but I think all our perception with reality is heightened and altered because of social media quite frankly X It's trying to do that so it could sow the seeds of everyone being surprised if he doesn't win the election I'm just gonna take a minute

Understand that four years ago. It didn't feel like the the our democracy would withstand what it was faced with but it ended up doing that So I'm gonna go, watch the avalanche, bring back a Turi Leckinen, because I think that offense certainly needs firepower. And I'm going to take 30 milligrams and melt in my couch for a little bit. I watch a CFP, maybe offer a fantasy trade to a friend and maybe shitpost him. Come on, let me give you three bad guys for one good guy. Do that. That's what you do when you're on 30 milligrams.

I mean, wait until you see 40 milligrams, Valhalla. Okay. That's crazy. This one of the- Terrible traits. One of the- Do that annoying penguin voice that my wife hates. You wind it, kid.

Yeah. Do you guys realize that nothing about America has changed more in the last eight years than Stugatz pretending he didn't do drugs to Stugats all of a sudden popping gummies right and left at a milligram count that is alarming. I don't think I ever pretended. Yes on three.

Nothing has changed more over the last eight years than Stugats' general comfort in public with telling everybody that he's stoned all the time. Well, not when I'm here. I'm a professional. If you're doing 40 milligrams the night before, if you're doing something that strong, you're coming in the morning still a little baked,

even at your level of pain threshold. And it also depends on the strain. Yeah, it does, but Valhalla. Okay, regardless. Do I feel stoned now a little bit? I mean, I assume you're always, I assume you're always some form of altered. The strands are so confusing.

I'm just like, gimme, in the middle. Just hybrid it up. I got a weird neck sensation with one of them. Really? Yeah, it feels like someone's just like, choking me but not. Let me get back to Greg Cody's rough night tonight. Why is it going to be, like you're stressed, you're...

Yeah, for sure. Okay, well you say for sure, and Mike Ryan has been saying for a while now, I'll get out and vote when it happens, it happens, and I'll make my voice heard then. And now the time has arrived, right? I know a lot of people listening to this would like me to just talk about the trade deadline

and not at the moment That we are in in America. I've never cared about election day before I've never had this kind of fear before Little Herbert to the Bengals Zach Moss went down a little thunder to that chase Brown lightning chase Brown owners and fantasy are like yeah Still a rule. No, they're probably not Bummer look should be active in that passing game. Yeah still Jace Brown He's having a good year football. I mean the Dolphins the Lobos have to deal with Dak Prescott being on I are Oh, wow, our backup is Trevor Lawrence. Oh not a whole lot there, right?

So we're we may hit the the trade market ourselves. Little Cooper Rush maybe? What do you think? I don't know about that. Come on now. Cooper Rush. Please. Time now for this week's useless sound montage. The first thing part about this is we didn't come out and we didn't execute well enough to win the game. That's the NFL. Like if you want to win, your playmakers have to step up and make plays. Tough position, we got to find a way to make some more plays. Yeah, the ball did not go where I wanted it to. Gave us a chance to win the game. You know, obviously just didn't pull it through. Look at me. I needed a bad man. It was a, yeah, we needed it. I'm going to strive for perfection every day and every game.

So until that happens, what's there to be happy about? I got to go to Brazil one time. I got a trip to Brazil once. To come out here on the primetime game and get embarrassed like that is never fun. And I believe we have to be better in a lot of areas. And that starts with me. I think there's plays I gotta make, girls I gotta make. Probably the guys fighting, I think that's the biggest thing. Disappointing the loss, gotta be better.

I think some decisions that I made throughout the game that would have impacted the outcome, and I take that upon myself. We have to eliminate plays that beat us. And I had three of them, and we all know plays that we can help this team out with. So that's just accountability, and think we're going to embrace that. Having a week to really digest how we can get better.

Hopefully let's get this confidence so that we can be anybody because we feel like we could. I'm just focused on the next day, the next game. That's what's allowing us to win games is we take one day at a time, every second counts, maximize the day, keep blinders on and go about your business. I'm not one to kind of settle. I'm going to keep working. I'm going to keep challenging players and we have to get better.

So I'm not going to settle on the fact that it is what it is obviously, but we're going to roll up our sleeves and go to work. You know, I feel about it. I mean, it's a gift from the football gods. We really had a lot to play for. Guys wanted this one bad, so this will hurt, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing in the big picture. It just depends on what you do with it. We want to start fast, you know, and that's been our Achilles heel.

Proud that we found a win. I can't say it was a complete complimentary, a game full of complimentary football, but we found a way to win. Yeah, it's been fun. It's been fun to watch, man. I mean, he's come in the building since he's been here, and he's just got after it every single day. He works his tail off. Shocked one bit that we came out here and played pretty good football out in the elements. I just, we're built for this, man, and it doesn't matter. And just because we play indoors, it doesn't matter.

We can play anywhere. We can play in the snow and play in the rain, play in the mud. That's just us, and we're built to win. My phone number has never changed. Let's not make any excuses. We got whooped today. Greg Cody has informed me that Mal is short for Mallory in the feminine and Malcolm in the masculine.

And so I don't know if we're still making Mal's or not. I do need to have a palate cleanser, a bit of, wow. You okay, Greg? Okay, that's a violent cough. I found the cough button just before. Wow. You're welcome. I think we owe you $5 now.

I got a Magnum condom We won't get that out that's Stugats here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old. Right next to the condom! That's a subtle reminder. Never forget. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugatz!

I need to cleanse the palate a little bit by just putting in some sports highlights here that we can enjoy together, shall we? So who would you guys rather watch here? Saquon Barkley doing video game jumping or Incarnate Ward starting a new celebration for America that the Lions are now doing in the end zone as well? Which would you prefer as a palate cleanser? I've seen Saquon, so I would probably prefer

the new invention. Yep, same. Invention, is it a new invention? the incarnate ward just it's incarnate incarnate word. It's carnet. Yeah, it's a fine He just sounds like he's like doing an accent like how do you how did you say it? I was ward came or did go there. I Was W a R D instead of O R D is what yes and incarnate word incarnate incarnate Incarnate incarnate word incarnate. Yeah, okay. I mean look they gotta get a new name clearly terrible name It's a bad name. It's a bad name because I can't pronounce it's tough

Look, I always have to like like I'm approaching a speed bump with it. I'm not a fan Change your name the hyphenated, there aren't a lot of teams that have a hyphenated. It's not hyphenated. Okay. Incarnate, I mean. Alright. It's a religious phrase.

What is this? There's the celebration, it was a headstand. It's terrible. I don't know, just call yourself Bible State once it's been done. He got a flag for it. Somebody's gonna break their neck doing that. Well, Greg, there were a lot of copycats

in the NFL Sunday. And they all did a really good job and ended up taking the league by storm. I don't think it's that tough to do. Even Eli Manning tried that. You could do it, yeah? I could do it. I know you could not.

No, let's do it. No, let's do it. No, no, he's not saying he would. He's saying he could. Jess, what do we do? I wanna see it. First of all, I look ridiculous in a football helmet. Eli did it last night, it was fine.

NC Martin also did it. No, please don't do that. What is red camouflage in the end zone hiding? Blood, right? That took a darker turn. The blood of Christ, maybe? Oh, there you go. Oh, all right.

It is, we are in November. Incarnate means like of the flesh. It is a biblical phrase, yes. And it is, I'm not meaning to be blasphemous in not knowing how to pronounce that. It is something, this is not a religious school, but that is- That would have to be.

I thought it was. It would have to, I'm certain of it. Priest wearing red camo and mask would be dope. But it is military appreciation month. It's definitely, it's gotta be a Catholic school. Just a month, huh? I think it is. I don't know. If it's the word, it would be the word of God, correct?

The theme song is Word Up by Cameo. That's true. And the God. The way you were saying it sounds like when people from New Jersey say like Florida, or like orange, so I thought you were just doing it like a- Because I'm making it incarnate. Instead of incarnate. No, the ward part.

Yeah. You are from New Jersey. Word. Yes. So the word of the flesh is what it means literally, word of the flesh. Which kind of doesn't really, when you juxtapose it with a word of God.

I think the word became flesh, right? Yeah. I am not Catholic enough for this discussion. I bow out to you guys. The best part of that celebration isn't that he did it, it's that he told them to go ahead and throw the penalty flag. It's okay, I'm going to enjoy myself anyway.

And then in the video, you see the penalty flag for the celebration and he does not care at all. Like he does not care. It's 38 to six. I know. Dan, when you're doing that, you don't care about a flag. I understand it's We've evolved the celebration to a pretty fun place when that's how we can play college football getting penalized

I read the University of Miami spent about 15 years changing the rulebook because all of that was viewed as an sportsman like instead of fun I Feel like the celebration and how cool it is got overshadowed by Dan saying incarnate-ward. I don't think I can even mispronounce it. Incarnate-ward. You mispronounced it. Maybe it's from Boston.

I made it incarnate-ward. Awful. That's what I made it. Yes, I'm glad that you're enjoying that. It's not the correct pronunciation, and it is true. Ricky Williams was their running back coach for a year, and I believe they set records when he was that, but I didn't think of that as a religious school,

when it must be, if it is the word of the flesh. Why do you think they would name it that? I didn't give it a lot of thought. Well, let's get down to this. Let's find some answers. Call them up. Because it is an odd name. You think it's like BYU,

that they have all sorts of religious rules? But I get why it's called some answers. Call them up. It is an odd name. You think it's like BYU that they have all sorts of religious rules? But I get why it's called BYU. It's named after a person. Yeah. That's important to the faith. I get that. Incarnate word.

There's more than one, I think there was a school named Incarnate Ward, now I can't say it either, where I grew up. This is a common name for Catholic schools. Yeah, I just don't get it. I also have Cam Ward of The Brain, by the way, because he's been the best quarterback in college football.

He's been the best statistical quarterback in the University of Miami's history. He has the best receiver statistically, and the most productive receiver in the University of Miami's history. We've never seen nine games like this from a quarterback in University of Miami history. And when Stugatz, I was saying,

even though Mike was vigorously defending the local city of Miami for on noon on a Saturday, not filling 80,000 people in a stadium. I know it's a tired thing to file at the University of Miami fan base, but this is not a college town. It has never been a college town. It's a spread out big city town.

I just happen to believe, without being overly critical of Miami's fan base, that it's not even the nine and oh team that deserves that place to be full because of the business investment the University of Miami made that is cashing in year three, because it was a big business investment that they made. A whole lot of Columbus people were wrestling to see who can get Mario Cristobal's positioning as the guy who learned from Saban to change a program over. There was a big University of Miami business investment that got made there.

And if you do not want to go to the games because you still don't understand or believe in the schedule or think of a long ago time when Miami didn't lose a home game in the Orange Bowl and you deserve undefeated seasons, if you weren't going to fill that place simply because Miami is one of the best teams in our second most popular sport, the reason I would insist that Miami as a community celebrate this is because they have the thing everyone wants in football they've got the best quarterback like he's an entertainment bonanza he's underpaid whatever they're paying him

because they've got offense in that sport and so it's worth watching because they can win twenty eighteen their linebackers't cover anybody they give up way too many 50-yard plays I can see them losing to any one of these teams because they run off seven or 40-yard plays and Cam turns it over three times and they lose 40 to 30 but they're gonna get 30 like they're gonna get to their 30 even if they're down 35 10 in California and he's got to get it all in the fourth quarter. Like, this is the thing every sports city wants. You have the quarterback. You do. You also have the history of the program.

So I'm a little bit surprised that more people aren't going out and embracing this wonderful team, because you're right, not only do they have the best quarterback in America, not only should that quarterback win the Heisman Trophy, but they have a great team that's going to make the playoffs. The problem is, I think, as to why the attendance is so bad is because while Cam Ward is entertaining, the teams they're playing are not. It's not so bad. It's not so bad. It's just not full. And what I'm saying is- You should embrace it. I get it. Yeah. This business investment by the University of Miami deserves the support of its community

because they've got the very best thing and it can be gone in a week. They could lose at Georgia Tech because it can happen in college football and it's not gonna feel like this. You should enjoy it when it happens. You don't deserve it. You've been waiting for 20 years for the program to be back.

I don't deserve it? It's a very strange service job. Go to the game, you don't deserve it. And they're probably gonna lose because they're not good. Horton disagrees. I don't deserve it. It's a very strange job. Go to the game, you don't deserve it. And they're probably gonna lose because they're not good. Horton disagrees, I say I deserve it. But Dan, that was the incarnate word.

I think that South Florida feels entitled because of whatever the 90s and the 80s and the 2000s, the early 2000s were, that nine and oh, you'll turn your nose up at nine and oh because the schedule has been tough and you don't actually believe that this is one of the best teams in the country. I appreciate you sounding the alarm for people to support them. I don't think that this is like that real a thing this year.

They sold out the FSU game with not a lot of FSU in that building and there was closest 60,000 people for a noon start against Duke. Historically pretty good. We've gone over all the reasons why Miami is an outlier and that attendance is a little overblown. They're compared to you know the big house and the horseshoe and that's not really what this program is. I agree with Mike. I think the attendance for a noon start for Duke as the opponent was good. I thought it was very credible, better than

I thought it would be. School thought it was good. I mean, they would love a sellout and they probably love this segment. Yes, go out and see it. Usually the best offense in the nation is something reserved for a Mac team. What are they doing over there at Bowling Green or in the middle of Lubbock, Texas? It's not often that you have a premier brand like this associated with that exciting type of football. There's a couple of outliers and it's a really cool thing. They have the best receiver that's ever played for the program in terms of being prolific

and Xavier Restrepo should be a Boletnikov guy. Look at his stats compared to Travis Hunter. Blow your mind and understand that Travis Hunter also plays DPN. That's the part. Well, but. Maybe they have the best quarterback. They got a real fun team and they got a shot. They legitimately have a shot because they can put up Travis Hunter also plays DPN. That's the part. Well, if the gods... But maybe they have the best quarterback.

They got a real fun team and they got a shot. They legitimately have a shot because they can put up 35 points on anybody and if they figure out how to play conservative defense, put two safeties back there, they can beat anyone. I really feel that way. In my Cam Ward for Heisman column, which you can read in the Miami Herald, one of the points I made was that Xavier Restrepo has more receiving yards and more touchdown catches than Travis Hunter. That's a fact, Jack. And as for Dylan Gabriel, Dylan Gabriel inherited a great program. Cam Ward took over

a 7-6 team that lost to Rutgers in a bad bowl game. So there's no comparison with how much Cam Ward has meant to that program. Oregon is 31 and 5 since Mario Cristobal left. And he and Gabriel Dillon... Mike Adubato Dillon and Gabriel. Mike Adubato Replace. I'm getting excited here because... Mike Adubato What's happening right now? Mike Adubato He's talking Dots football. Mike Adubato Hold on a second. Hold on. Everybody slow down. I told you he's disoriented. He's a passion. I'm passionate about it. He's talking Ducks football. Hold on a second, hold on. Everybody slow down. I told you he's disoriented.

He's a proud dolphin family. Election night has him. Look, he's coughing. He's coughing. This is what's happening. Look, look, it's late in the show. Wow. He got thrown off by the comedians at the start.

Hey, why do you keep saying that? I mean. Well, because what just happened is. Gabriel Dillon. You just had the ball alone in the open field and you were running. Yeah. Hi, why do you keep saying that? I mean. Well, because what just happened is. Gabriel Dillon. You just had the ball alone in the open field and you were running and you got, and you started wheezing and talking ducks.

Turned into Jalen Waddle went backwards. Ducks football and then you got self-conscious. The floor is yours. Okay. Look, you've got 90 seconds. Okay, Gabriel Dillon. To give us all of your Homer UM thoughts. Stop being a Homer, bro.

It's a better name than Dylan Gable. You're doing great, Greg. I agree. Okay what I want to say is, Gabe. Oregon had a much better quarterback last year. You look at Gabriel Dylan's stats. Dude it's Dylan Gabriel. Whatever compared to Bo Nix. It's not even close. It's what he wants it to be. It's legal name. He did last name comma first name. Thank you. Bo Nix was a much better quarterback and should have won the Heisman, finished third. This guy does not compare with Cam Ward. Not even close. Greg, it is clear to me that you would give Restrepo the Heisman and that you and Mike Wright... No, I would give Cam Ward the Heisman. Wow.

Not a boy. But you don't even... Wait, did you just give Bo Nix the Heisman last year? I said he finished... he should have won, but he finished third. What? Nix Bo, yeah. Didn't he finish third? He got a touchdown this week, I know that.

But over Jaden Daniels? Yeah, why? Okay, in my opinion. That's his opinion. Are you a voter? That's fine, that's fine. He's entitled, I mean. I would have given it to Jordan Travis, or Trav and Jordan, Travis Jordan, whatever.

Okay. Hunter Travis also really overrated. Alright, but what you guys are doing, the thing that both of you are doing, look how pleased they both are. Hunter Travis, probably different race too, right? Hunter Travis will be at the Heisman ceremony, unlike Restrepo Xavier, because he plays defense. That's absurd. He also plays all the snaps on defense. Pretty well. Hunter Travis is a baseball player. Stu Gattier from my friends over at Simply Safe.

If someone's lurking around or acting suspiciously, those agents see them in real time, talk to them directly, set off your spotlight, and even call the police before they've had a chance to break in. SimpliSafe is offering my listeners exclusive early access to their Black Friday sale. This week only, you can take 60% off any new system with a select professional monitoring plan. This is their best offer of the year.

Head to simplisafe.com slash DLB to claim your discount and make sure your home is safe this holiday season. Don't wait, this offer won't last long. Keep your home, your family, and your piece of mind protected with Simply Safe. There's no safe like Simply Safe.
