Dan, playing in the toughest division, the odds were already stacked against him. It got even tougher when he had to fire his offensive coordinator mid season. Fans were calling for his job despite him not having one losing season ever. Instead, he coaches team to 10 wins with Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trebuski and Mason Rudolph playing quarterback. In the face of adversity, he did not blink because he never blinks.

And Dan make no mistake about it. Punching a one way ticket to the playoffs. Mike Tomlin is back. It's kind of unbelievable, isn't it? Yes. I don't understand it.. I don't understand. I really don't understand. Mason Rudolph.

Got to the playoffs using three-stunning quarterbacks, none of which, I guess a jury's still out on Kenny Pickett. None of which are considered good. Fired as I was seeing in the middle of it, in a historically difficult division where everyone finished above 500. First time that's happened since 1935. Crazy.

He found a way. Yep. I think one of the things that Stugat said there, I think most of the stuff that he said made me think he was going McDermott there. Fired his offensive coordinators, never had a losing season. I did the 9-11 thing that he shouldn't have done. Yeah.

Cut your eyelids off, Dano. Mm-hmm. Some might say this is Mike Tom on Best Coaching job ever. Would you say it? I would not. Really? I mean, he said like ten of these. might say this is Mike Tom on best coaching job ever. Would you say it? Really? I mean, he said like 10 of these. You want a Super Bowl?

Yeah, but that was easy. Playoffs with those three quarterbacks. You got a friendly whistle on that Super Bowl against the C.O.X. People forget. God first. Cower. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was Cardinal Super Bowl is going my bad.

Fine. You idiot. All right Where's the bucket? Wow comes a dollar. I was wrong. Make a fine. That's a fine. Yeah, I was wrong a factual God first is Stafford the double revenge game and once it for all we will settle Who won the trade we will? I think so yeah, really yeah I mean Stafford want to super feels like the Rams won it so far for now, okay Melvin Gordon got a friendly whistle and that's super bowl people forget is a Raven It's still fun like free superbook. You could say about every super bowl They got a friend. That's one of the rare super Balls that no one really had an issue with the officials either. Did you know Mel Gordon was still doing it?

I did. As a Raven. I still fumble it. Yes. Okay. Often. Jalen Hertz, the rare quarterback whose last name can know how he was feeling on Sunday. last name, Knots how he was feeling on Sunday. If Mike Vrable has a chance to stick it to a division rival, you can bet he's gonna stick it to a division rival. That's what Vrable does. And not classic Vrable. Non-Division rival to end the dolphin to end anyone, anyone in Vrable's way. TJ Wat said he's never want wanna play off game. TJ, it runs in the family. Jaguar's choked. I don't. What happened there?

What do you mean, outch Watts? I don't know, like it runs in the family. The Watts are pretty good at soccer. Made it to a native sea championship game. He did? Yeah, remember they led Big at Kansas City and then everyone bet Chiefs live because we knew exactly how that was gonna go. Who was the quarterback? DeShawn Watson was the quarterback

producer. And what was Derek Watt up to? He might have won one somewhere. Let's check that. It's gonna be odd seeing the Texans in the playoff. I'm hearing to you, we got a friendly whistle. Put it on the pole at Levitage Show. Is it going to be odd seeing the Texas and the playoffs without Hoyer? Trevor Lawrence is just a younger Derek Carr. The quarterback you think you want it till you have him. Have the Houston Texans ever played on Wildcard weekend where it's not the very first game of the playoffs. It is not the, it is not super wild card Saturday. Early Saturday without the Houston Texans kicking you off.

They should play the Bengals every year in that game. I feel like for three years straight a few years back, that's what it was. Texans Bengals. Joe Koi blaming the writers for bad jokes and bombing at the Golden Globes. Joe Koy, the Stugots is strong in you. The Eagles lost the get right game. Time to panic. Leonard Fornet still amazed by this.

Is a Buffalo bill playoff Lenny? A lot of push-us for him last night. Tush push. That's his job. Champion Leonard Fornet last night. Tush push. That's all he did. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job.

That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job.

That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. That's his job. the code of state wins a second straight FCS national title. You know what they did, Dan?

I do not. They went back to back. The Jack rabbits. I love that day. Why are Cody and Jess laughing at something that isn't the weekend I'm sure it seems like we found the guy who's stuck in the vase. Really? Well, the internet found him and now I'm going to send this to Matt. Let's see if we can get him on.

Bejohn Robinson looks good. Wonder why they don't use him more. Arthur Smith, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Black Monday, a day where a bunch of white guys get fired and are replaced by other white guys. Gardner Menshu reminding the country that he's a good backup but a backup nonetheless. Did we not give you the laughter you wanted with that pause? It's okay everyone's tired I'm tired you're tired Josh Allen did the thing. What's the thing? I don't know. Just Josh Allen. You did the 30, a 38, 350. I'll run through you a couple turnovers. I went. Yes. Yeah. Okay. It's a

thing. Now that you explain it. Yes. Now that you've elaborated, I understand entirely. Dan, keep an eye on NC State. Good coaching. Great senior guard play. Don't be surprised if come March. Wow. The wolf pack. It's early. Find themselves in the elite eights. It's early for the wolf pack. They're good. Mike knows. Oh, damn good. Yep. Death. Taxes at Chris Paul out four to six weeks. The Packers have beaten the Bears 10 straight times. You know what the Packers have, Dan O'Hall? The Bears number. Wow, you are good. You're on it. Little sleep. I mean four hours of sleep. You're locked in. You don't bet against CJ Stroud. And it got to have it game and live to talk about it. You don't? Nope.

I thought that last national championship. He didn't have to have that. He didn't. Everything worked out fine for Michigan game. Worked out fine. Number two, picking the draft, Texans play off. Everyone's talking about him. I mean, no one wants to face them. The next wave

Taj Gibson three weeks after reuniting with Tom Dippado. It's not a good buy. It's a see you later. Stu, weren't you the guy who said you saw CJ strad play at Northwestern and he was terrible. Oh, awful, but it was a lot of rain, a lot of wind, terrible field conditions. It was bad, but he was awful. I mean, they were trailing at the half to Northwestern. Where was it? Chris Paul fractured his left hand, probably because he didn't have a ring to break his fall.

Come on. What happened there? What do you do? Come on, what? What are you doing for Chris Paul? What did he do to you? I've been doing it to him for 15 years. All he did was get in.

He didn't do anything. You know what happened? Steven A Smith and other NBA experts kept telling me that Chris Paul is a top five point guard of all time. And I told them he's not because all the great point guards and the history of the NBA did in the top five. Magic, those guys they've all won championships he is not I'm sorry he's not a top five point guard of all time skip player hallfain player with no rings Charles Barclays not a top he's a great player not a top he would not be a top five

power forward for me all time so So it's always champion. I'll put together top five power forwards. Okay, it's always champion trips for you. That's all that it is. You can't be top five in the NBA. You're positioned in not win championships. I'm sorry. Dan Merino can't be. Dan Merino can't be one of the best quarter rounds.

He's not top five. Not top five. No. No. Ted Williams, Ted Williams, when a title. Splendid Splinter. I don't think Ted Williams ever won a title. Did he win a title?

I have no idea. I don't think so. You know Leonard Fournets only 28 years old. What? Is his same age as Baker Mavio. It's a bit shocking. Yeah. Well, but I mean, he's just a Sean Watson.

He's looked 35 since he was in college. He's looked 35 since he was a freshman in college. I mean, Tim Duncan, what did he do? He won championship. Better than Barclay, right? Yes. Right. I mean, put that in.

Pawn alone, not a top five power forward of all times. Not! Sorry! It is my list. It is your list. Your title to yours? Yes. Well, my top five power forwards of all time?

I don't think I do. I want yours. I think Barclay would be on my top five flip. Rayman's on there. The dogs. Sean Camp overt, over Charles Barclay. It's a discourse. I want to engage it. I really don't though. This is the way that we're going to do it. It's just championships. All those championships shown.

Ken Punt. What do you do with Robin? The worm. Huh? I put in three titles. Special designation. Or is it great for you in the Hall of Fame for being the best rebounder ever? For his grant. Three titles. He did it against Jordan and playoffs. People forget that. He did. Outplayed.

Many people will say the bills had a season to remember. Sean McDermott will call it a season he will never forget. Robert Salah has to lead the NFL in wins after his team has been officially eliminated. The Titans did what the Titans do. If you back Derek Henry into a corner, he's always going to have a 153 yard one touchdown game in his back pocket. We'll always be there. It is. You're right.

Where was I? Leonard for net. It's just a couple of months older than the boss Amul. What? It's shocking that Leonard for net is 28 years old. Put it on the pole. Very young at Levitard show. Juju, are you shocked that Leonard for net is only 28? Sabotage on the inside. I can relate pat McAfee. You don't beat the raiders on the J on the day Jack Squyrick passes away. That's true. You don't do it. That's

true. I botched that. That's the true. I'm not happy about it. They're one and oh when Jack Squyrick passes away. That's right. Too soon. Reembe Packers, a wide receiver away, had no idea the elbow room was still a thing. Buffalo, you can have it, the elbow room, the dolphins have lost that game in that spot for the past three decades. Their fans own personal version of hell, speaking of hell, are prals, Dan, those, or the weekend, observations. Seasons greetings everybody. It is Mike Ryan here to talk to you about Miller Light, but also here to talk to you about this festive season and how Miller time can make holiday time even better. I love this winter weather. It's great excuse to go outside and toast some wonderful memories with some friends. Why don't you do that with an ice-cold Miller Lite in your

hand and in some parts of the country. You don't need a coosie. It just stays cold out there. How wonderful is that? Take a sip, my friends. Look around. Reflect on your year. You made a lot of good calls, and no call better than having this Miller Light right now. A beer that is brewed for taste, you know it's triple hops brewed? They could have stopped brewing it twice with hops, but they didn't. They went that extra mile, and they brewed it with hops three times.

Stugots. She hits that a little park. Harry Carey is who it is. It's Wolf Harrel doing Harry and Elvis occasionally. Look out now.

This is the Don Lebathar show with his Stugots. Jessica, what happened with that Alaskan air flight? What are the horrors and the details of what they're saying is a technical malfunction that is now resulted in a recall of the Boeing Max 9 jets. It is terrifying. This plane took off from Portland as they were on their ascent. I think people said it was around like 20 minutes into the flight.

They heard a noise, like a bang in the back of the aircraft and the pressure in the cabin immediately changed and the little nose bag things came down that you're supposed to breathe into and put the strap around your head and they call me yeah oxygen and they always say the bag may not inflate and i'm like that doesn't make any sense well of the tiktok's i watched of a woman who was on this flight said that she was like having a pan attack because her bag wasn't inflating and she was just like

basically like could not compute could not process what was going on because it was all happening really fast and then she realized, oh, they actually tell you that the bag doesn't inflate, I'm fine. But she was freaking out, everyone was freaking out, no one knew what was going on. And as it turns out, there was some sort of malfunction on this plane and the fuselage door, fuselage door

in the back of the aircraft opened and flew out and things were being sucked out of the plane into the night sky. People found phones on the side of the road, one phone that actually survived the fall, apparently, just on the side of the road. It was a great advertisement for Apple there. The door was found in some schoolteachers backyard in Portland. The flight was able to make an emergency landing.

Everyone was safe. And paramedics came on and tended to people. Apparently a kid's shirt got sucked off out into the night sky. It just sounds like an absolutely harrowing, terrifying experience for all these people on the plane. But luckily the pilots were able to make a safe landing back in Portland and they were rebooked and now

there was going to be an investigation on what happened to this jet. Because it was a brand new plane that was just delivered in October apparently. And it was noisy, right? So they were trying to calm people, and I don't know how well you calm people when what you have seen is not just stugots,

an airplane door fly off, and now it's noisy, and now you hear wind roaring into your airplane, but you look next to you, and a kid who used to be wearing a shirt is no longer wearing a shirt. That's the part that would get me. Because the shirt has been sucked out, I want you guys to imagine that happening to me. That I am just sitting there,

I'm wearing a shirt and now it has been sucked out of the airplane and I'm sitting there horrified and you're looking at me and I'm looking at you but you're wearing a shirt and I'm no longer wearing a shirt. That would be a real horror. That would be, it would die. And fear is sweeping over me from every angle.

So I'm horrified, but I'm also covering my nipples because I'm assuming. That would, honestly, putting myself in that seat, all right, say my shirt flies off, right? Now I'm a yeah that would that honestly putting myself in that seat my sure all right say my shirt flies off right now I'm sitting there and I've got these nipple stickers on and I'm like I can't be found this way I can't go out like this my first instinct would be like a band-aid no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no They'll be the last thing on the plane. You're a pet fraud and put on my oxygen mask. I reach there and I just tear them all. They don't only find the black box and the nibbles. That does.

You have to understand what I'm saying though, when I say to you, you give me two horrors, okay? You just put me in this situation and you give me two horrors. One, you're just telling me in the hypothetical, the door has blown off. But now you've told me that the airplane is in such tragic condition that my shirt has blown off so vulnerable for you Chris make like a wind noise in the microphone everybody damn love it's our shirt it's off in row 13 I'm sorry, buddy. I had to have a comfort plus.

I think you'd actually have good, uh, good sense of humor in that moment. No, I really, no, I really, this plane is going down and I'm the only one who's shirt gets sucked off. But what did the door coming off? Horrify you as much as the shirt coming off? I believe that which would scare me more? Never mind the shame of being shirtless in front of people. Which would scare me more? The knowledge that a door had blown off in the back of the plane, and now we had a noisy

problem, or the wind catching with such intensity that something that has never happened to me before, which is my shirt whips off. I can't whip my shirt off during passion. There's no whipping of the shirt off. It's because I got the costume over it. Yeah. Got this Viking belt buckle on. Hold on, let me get this off.

Thank God all the kids were wearing seat belts. That could have been horrific. They said that the two seats immediately next to the piece of the fuselage that tore away. It's called a door plug. It covers what's sometimes used in other models of the plane as an emergency exit. So this is like a sealed up door.

The two seats next to it were empty. But headrests of other seats immediately were sucked out of the gaping hole in the back of the front. I'm picturing people like holding on, like, sideways. I'm picturing Jess jumping with her phone. Picture Dan shirtless. My phone! Does the belt.

I would jump. I understand that the people listening to this would say, well, of course, the suction of an airplane and a door flying off, that's a serious suction. Yes, of course, debris and phones would leave. I'm still though shocked by a shirt leaving someone's body because there's a degree of difficulty in getting that shirt off.

I think, like, it's not a bunch of shirts. It's, it's, it's. It had to be a button down shirt now. It's a single shirt. And all the buttons just pop open. Right. It's an intensity, a horrifying intensity that I believe everyone listed this.

It was a boy. I think it was like a t-shirt. Hmm. Hmm. Well, material. That's frightening. He must have had both hands up or something. What color was a shirt?

Not sure. I don't think they found the shirt yet. You mentioned a t-shirt and made me think of something that I saw over the break. Believe it or not, I am flipping through Max and I happen upon engineering's greatest catastrophes. And the very first one, the very first story of this was the carrier dome. Carrier dome, I did not know any of what I'm about to tell you that Syracuse has more snow than any place in the United States and that the carrier dome, the roof is so antiquated that it is held up only by the air suction pressure in the dome, that the fabric of the dome itself

is like a t-shirt. That's what the roof of the carrier dome is, and they get so much snow that it's an enormous problem that one day the whole thing's just going to collapse because you don't make roofs out of the material that you make t-shirts out of. They've made changes there. My daughter goes to Syracuse, so they have made changes to that roof to make it a lot more safer to prevent that

from ever happening. It's the RCA dome now, not the carrier dome, but they have made changes to that roof. Man, I feel like you need to find the show because they called it the carrier dome. They did, maybe this is an old show. It's the RCA dome. I believe so, yeah.

Wow, like the old Indianapolis final four-host They did, maybe this is an old show. It's the RCA dome. I believe so, yeah. Wow. Like the old Indianapolis Final Four Host where the Colts played, RCA is back in business. I hope so. Okay. He is looking it up now. It's the JMA wireless dome, sorry. It was the RCA dome for a couple of coffees.

I thought who finds it. I thought Carrier had like a lifetime deal on that stadium and Carrier's in AC company and famously the dome had no AC in it for several years only until recently. Well you guys are aware that that roof is held up only by the air beneath it? Like that that- I used to play in an indoor soccer facility like that. It was just a giant bubble. Remember what happened to the Metro dome? Yes that happened to the Metro dome. Yeah we're out of the snow built up on that. They can find, video can find that.

That was such an oddly satisfying video of the Metro dome roof collapsing. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Why would you watch a show about engineering disasters? Well, I only watched that, I didn't watch the whole thing. I look, I'm sure Billy that you're in the mood occasionally for something that is just chewable for nine minutes, that you don't want a whole investment.

That's sad. I like to smile in those nine minutes. I'll put on like 30 rock or something. I've been bitching new girl lately. Brei rewatch. Who's that girl? But they've found it interesting. I mean, I found not really a job.

Look how satisfying this is. Why are you saying this is satisfying? Because when the snow comes through, when the snow finally burst through, and it just like just all happens, That's scary. It's like a good coffee-fueled morning dump. Correct.

Is it correct? Anytime something burst through Dan, it feels good. Like popping a pimple. Yeah. How about how about? Yeah, I followed Dr. Pimple Popper just for a crazy relief. I find it super satisfying.

To watch, I started following this IG account that just cleans dirty rugs. Oh my God, I love that. Oh my God, that is good. That is so good. Is it a fortune planes? No. Oh, that was a good one.

Don Lebatard. So like, there was a time that, and I'll tell you this person is that I admired and I said, that'd be a great career for me. Ryan Seacrest. Still gots. And then to take it a step further, you know, just a couple weeks ago, James Gordon was stepping down and he said, you know, it'd be a great replacement for him.

Me. I could do that. I could replace James Gordon. I agree with you on that. If I don't have to move to LA and I could just do this somewhere near the Tamiyemi area, like they have an old, you know, theater that's kind of abandoned right now, maybe we do something there. I mean, people like to come to my band, right? They came out into your late, late, late show studio. Yeah, so I didn't even think about that. Wow, that's a theater right there.

This is the Don Lebat's show with this two gods. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ I'm being told by our video team. I hope it's ready. I'm being told by our video team. We have a different look, an alternate camera view of the gentleman that got stuck in the pot. And we have the still image going up right now. What is the matter with him?

It's way more funny. And he looks a lot taller than he did when he was on his back. This gentleman said Matthew Keller is taller than you think. That looks like a gathering between Matthew Keller, Whittingham and and Tony Romo was off to the side It looks like Whittybind. It's like Lads, come check this guy out. It's good shout as he would say I wanted I wanted to ask you something that I saw was happening during our watch party yesterday some people, a lot of people, and this doesn't happen to me, but I'm always confused by it. A lot of people

get really mad at Chris Collinsworth. And in this particular case, they get mad at the way Chris Collinsworth talks about Josh Allen, the enthusiasm. He talks this way about Patrick Mahomes as well. And can you guys explain to me just in general why it is because these two guys it happens to, but they also have a greatness and an athleticism that I think is awe inspiring. And I like that Chris Collinsworth is still watching football in a way that allows him to be odd I want a motion from my broadcasters and I am confused by people getting mad at broadcasters being overly praising of someone who deserves that praise because as you're watching the athleticism

It's clearly awe-inspiring. Do you understand? Because during the break here, during the break, you are somebody. During the break, this actually happened. I'm not making this up. I'm going to quote directly because I wrote it down. Stugots was talking to himself and his computer.

And he was reading someone or something that was saying dolphins are a finesse team. This is what Stugat said, muttering to his computer. Dolphins are finesse team. Dolphins are not good enough. Oh, fuck you. Just said it, muttered it. They were good enough three weeks ago.

Directly at his computer and I don't get fired up like that about those things but as it relates to colonsworth do you guys like him does the room like chris colonsworth because i view him as polarizing and i think he's just one of the best i don't think he should be polarizing uh... he's okay i understand why people get upset when they're praising j Allen when analysts are praising Josh Allen because really what is Josh Allen done? He hasn't been to a Super Bowl. He lost the game that he's most famous for is a game that he lost against Kansas City at Kansas City and he hasn't done much else. Yes, it is great to watch him play football is a great football player. I'd love for him to be

my quarterback, but we hyperventilate about a guy who hasn't really done anything in the postseason. But that's not what the hyperventilation is about. It's not about winning because that's the result being in hand. It's not the way Chris Collins were talks about him after the game. It's during the game. It's before he's done the winning. And what I'm watching is an uncommon athleticism where a quarterback is not scared to get physical with the people on this defense where defensive players don't particularly want to tackle

him because it looks like it hurts to tackle Josh Allen where giant men bounce off him. It bothers people extra when it's Josh Allen. I don't understand why because he's over the top with Patrick my home. Certainly a lot of reason to be there with Lamar Jackson. He is just open mouthed in all every time to be there with Lamar Jackson. He is just open mouth in all. Every time he's doing a Lamar Jackson. But what's wrong with that? I guess is what I'm asking you. As guys do incredible things. And more to the point, if in the modern media economy, we're only going to pay giant stars, $17 million a year to broadcast games around NFL games where Troy Ackman and Joe

Buck are going to come in and make a lot more than Stephen A Smith for 17 weeks, a season, for half a season because the NFL insists on its broadcasters being high end and the NFL is going to like any broadcaster that's celebrating its game. Adam Silver is complaining. Jeff and Gundy probably doesn't have a job anymore because he's not quite positive enough about sales, doing sales during a broadcast. What's wrong? What's generally wrong? I'm asking because I'm genuinely confused by the reaction to Collins worth getting excited.

I thought that's what you wanted from your renouncers i thought it's what the league wanted i thought uh... the reason i don't know the reason i complain but i don't think i'm i'm it's not just often fans i'm not talking about dolphin fans colin's worth gets this all the time when he's talking when he's giving too much praise to quarterbacks who probably deserve a great deal of praise because they're man the quarterback plays pretty awful they're, man, the quarterback play is pretty awful. They're pretty injured. Like, there are a lot of guys out there

that are not high-end quarterback play. We just talk about not understanding how Mike Tomlin gets to the Super Bowl because Mason Rudolph can't be your quarterback when you're getting to the playoffs. Well, Jim, I think sports fans are just haters and I say that as the biggest hater. I have more fun hating than I do liking sometimes.

Well, most of the time. My teams are sometimes not very good. It's just fun to hate. Yeah. I think we're all just haters, team down. Generally positive, but I'm a hater on Wemba Nyama and I like leaning into it. You are a big hater.

Well, he's so good. He's too good. Hater recognize hater. Well, I just he's so good. He's too good. Hater recognized hater. He's too good. It's unfair. You guys the normies are waking up too. Why are you surprised by this? I got mad last night when they compared Josh Allen to John L. What? It's I got mad during the Steelers game when Dan or Lovsky was like they should throw it to George Pickens. I was like, what do you know? What? I handed off to Najie Harris. What do you know? Dan I handed off to Najee Harris. What do you know, Daniel Obsi?

It's all they talked about. Depicants have a thousand yard season. I don't think so. I don't know. I'm off the top of my eyes. I think I heard that he had a thousand yard season. I'm like, how does he have enough receptions for that? That has to be 60 yards a game, correct?

To get to a thousand yard season? If you say so. Then yeah. Najee Harris had another thousand yard season. What do we do? 60 times. Even the 60 might be 50 yards a game in this all. Why they should have kept handing it off. A thousand 140 yards for George Pickens off of 63 receptions and an average of 18.1.

I mean, that's all he did. Hell yeah. That's wild. It's 1000 yard season. It's 63. It's not that I'm surprised by it. Yeah. It's 1000 year old season. It's 63 recession. It's not that I'm surprised by it. It's that I'm confused by it. It's that I don't understand it. I thought if, and I guess, yeah, Jessica's making a point there that makes sense.

It is fun to hate, but it's fun to hate guys who you know are great because, yeah, because he's not yours. It kept the NBA afloat. It's more fun to hate guys that are great because yeah, because he's not yours. It kept the NBA afloat. It's more fun to hate guys that are great. If you hate guys that stink, then that's not fun at all. No, it stops being fun after a while. But my homes is not a hate, he's not a hateable creature. Is he?

There's not a great deal of hatred toward my homes. It seems to me, but I think most fans understand the praise. Well, generally most people project the my home stuffhogany, their, his wife or brother. This is what I would say to you about mahogs. I would say that the greater hateful reaction toward his play is toward broadcasters who are over-celebrating it more than it is to mahogs and the play itself or anything about my homes as personality.

I would say that outside of my homes as brother and my homes as wife, that the great polarization around my homes, the third place polarization around my homes, is not anything my homes related other than he's so great, he makes these broadcasters who have seen a lot of football serenade america with praise of my homes that makes people recall and i think jessica might be right not only on the hateful part of this but also the part that a whole lot of fanbases are soaked in quarterback envy that they want that quarterback they want somebody to talk about their players that way. But is it over done? Do you guys do the people listening to this? Not with Patrick, but no, with Josh

Allen's to got over. Yes, over. Don't make it about winnings to got just make it about athletic grace. Don't make it about winning for for once in your life. Okay. Don't make it about winning. Just make it about just celebrating sports greatness. I understand that your increase worth celebrating. Yes, unlike just about anyone I've ever seen play that position. You were objecting to the comparisons to John L. Way on the broadcast last night, but I was factoring in championships.

But as an athlete, like, Stugatz, I think one of the fascinating things about Tyreek Hill is that you're watching somebody on a field full of athletes be more of an athlete in a way that confuses you. To me, who was it the other day? One of you was talking about how physically big Troy Ackman actually is because of a photo that was circulating that people don't understand how big these quarterbacks are. Most people listening to this, I don't think understand how large Tom Brady is,

how large Peyton Manning are. It's not just that they're six five, it's six five and super thick. Josh Allen is a size, a weight, a sturdiness that I'm surprised every time I see a giant man at full strength, bounce off of him in the back feed. After the controversial end to the Lions Cowboys game, it was Scott Van Pell tossed back to the booth.

And I guess they moved Joe Bucks' apple crate out of the way to make room for John Perry. So you have Drakeman standing next to John Perry and Joe Buc. And without the two shot at an apple crate, you realize Drakeman's literally twice the size of these human beings, not just in height, but in width, in the shoulders, he's a giant man in that booth. I think a lot of people would be surprised if they stood next to Tom Brady. Tyree Kill is older than Leonard for net. Come on.

Could just be the angle, right? We had the Amine Antonio Davis situation. We're right side by side. It was wasn't perspective. Do you think there's any shame involved for any of these broadcasters having to step on a milk crate to be next to another broadcaster? They just care about the final shot. What does it look like?

So they don't, when they're, jokes only listed as three inches short of entry. I don't think of Joe Bucket's small. What's it look like? So they don't when they're jokes only listed as three inches short of entry. I don't think of Joe Buck is small. He's six one. I don't think man six four means he's probably five 11, right? Do we do that with broadcasters? They give him a couple of no one's five 11. I'm five 11 actually. Who are you thinking of? Like how Michael's I'm just thinking about anybody having to

rummage around like underneath the desk to go get. I think of this when have you ever seen those photos of like Pesci and Danero walking around in fake shoes because the platforms because those are super in style right now by the way. Not these. Yeah, the huge platform loafers. I could buy a pair right now. Video, find for me please, this photograph or video of Pacino and Danero walking around, or Pesci and Danero walking around. They're not, I don't think these are platforms, Jess. I think these are movie-made shoes

that are meant to be like five inches taller. They're practically, these people are practically walking around on stilts. I'm telling you, comically high platform loafers are extremely in right now. I might buy a pair for Vegas. Here's why I don't get traction. Good you okay, too, Stu.

Thank you. I'm not making up the story I'm about to tell you. My wife bought me shoes that I wore in the other day that everybody celebrated. Everybody was like, those are great, we love those. those and I'm like I would have never bought these sneakers You know why? Because in the 80s the kids who wore these sneakers were made fun of by the other kids I remember I was there the shoes that are now popular were mocked in my childhood. I'm wearing them

Look at that. Those are popular just. I can buy them right now for North America.
