Weekend observations brought to you by Miller Lite. Dan, he is amongst a handful of coaches who have won a Super Bowl and a national championship. He was away from the game for a year, and you know it almost killed him, because no one loves the game more than him. But Dan, that all changed, because the Raiders needed a young coach and a young coach they got. Their fifth head coach since moving to Las Vegas in 2020.

And Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it, Pete Carroll is back! Happy for him, aren't you? He seems like a very nice man. Pete Carroll is back. Happy Forum. Aren't you? He seems like a very nice man. He does. Everyone seems to like Pete Carroll. Yeah, that's hard in sports. You're right.

Who doesn't like him? It's there. There aren't a lot of negative. He made that choking sign to a kicker. That kicker probably doesn't like him. Stojankovic. Yes, that was Stojanovich. I think you're right. I think you have his pageant. Yeah, you're right. You got it. That's a kicker. That kicker probably doesn't like him. Stojanovic, I think. Yeah,

you're right. I think you have him as Paget. Yeah, you're right. You got it. That's a fine for me. You're right. Benmo fine. Bill's Chiefs, Game of Inches. Every Sports Talk radio show is going to start today with Was Alan Short and

open up the phone lines for hours. WGR in Buffalo, WHB in the the league. Oh, they've got two weeks. What do you mean? I mean, they wanted to fire Nick Sirriotti. Now, he's the greatest coach in Eagles history. Get out of here. Zach Ertz leads the league. It's still got it. Does he? He does. Put it on the pole at LeBattard

Show, Juju. Does Zach Ertz lead the league and still got it? Pete Carroll is a young seventy-three. Patrick Mahomes four and oh versus Josh Allen in the playoffs. You know what that means Dan Oh, I do not. It means he has his number. This isn't a

rivalry until Josh Allen wins in the playoffs. Sean McDermott do it against the Chiefs. Josh Allen do it against the Chiefs. Josh Allen, do it against the Chiefs. If Saquon Barkley wins a Super Bowl for Philadelphia, never, ever mention Charles Barkley in the same sentence with him ever again. Wow. I mean, I'm serious.

He becomes the most famous Barkay in the history of Philadelphia. And there's Matt as well. He's not a good guy. Greg Cody says that Saquon should be the MVP of the league. It is pretty impressive to watch a guy. It's okay. Matt Barclay is not someone that you put in the discussion. you got carried away, you just, you got me first time. I know Barkley's your friend, Dan,

I'm gonna get you here, but then the second time with Matt Barkley is where you got carried away. It's the same thing you did with the Belichick argument. You had a good take that would've been perfectly fine by itself, and then you made it a little worse. I mean, championship Monday, Dan. I know, it's crazy around here today. Say quite enough.

I saw Jess was arguing with Willow. They had an argument in the other room. Wow. She's on a diet. Cranky. There should be an MVP for in between the regular season and the Super Bowl. A playoff MVP.

I like that idea. Thank you. When It Matters, right? That's what you can call it. When It Matters. Yes, the WIM. W-I-M. The When It Matters award, yes.

It would be won by Patrick Mahomes. Every dad, they just keep awarding it on every third and five that he runs for six yards. Or the less prestigious than Walter Payton, man of the year. It was a weird outlier year where it was Evan McPherson. Wow. He could win it, he would've won it, you're right.

Kansas City Chiefs do it in the Super Bowl. The Bills didn't lose that game. Spags won it. Steve Spagnola carrying Patrick Mahomes to three consecutive Super Bowls collision course. I was so used to Gabe Davis wearing 13 for the Bills that I was terrified anytime they threw it to the guy who I thought was Gabe Davis, but thankfully wasn't.

Gabe Davis drops thankfully wasn't Gabe Davis drops those passes not once against Kansas City. He didn't there was one game against Kansas City where he caught 200 yards worth of him. Yeah in terms of spirit attitude and the way he chews

gum Pete Carroll is the youngest head coach in the NFL. I mean, he is. You would agree. He's got energy on top of energy. He does have youthful exuberance. He seems to have a zest for life. Secret to aging. He had white hair when he was 40.

Well, I would say zest for life is also a secret to aging as well. I feel like he's a very 73-year-old 73-year-old. You don't know Pete. I just think you're picturing Pete Carroll of a bygone era. Well, he's talking about his aura and his energy, not the way he looks physically. I'm talking about both. And the way you choose to go.

That'll give you. Congratulations to Dalton Kincaid for ruining Josh Allen's legacy. The whole Dalton Kincaid and Schultz thing is is Very confusing is it not two different last names. I call Dalton Schultz. I call him Dallas Kincaid I mean I'm all over the place. You know I've been able to manage yeah, they're gonna Dawson Knox Crazy I do I'll do the same thing Dallas Clark Dawson Knox it gets crazy. I do. I'll do the same thing. Dallas Clark, Dawson Knox, Dickens Cade. That's just all of them. It's just some. It's just all three of them matched together and then go lose to the Chiefs, all of you. Top five people who have ruined Josh Allen's legacy. number five, Gabe Davis, number

four, the old overtime rules, number three, Sean McDermott, number two, Dalton Kincaid, number one, Patrick Mahomes. Here come the Islanders playing good hockey. They are the Isles. I'm gonna work my homes. Here went to Colorado and a huge blockbuster trade in the WNBA that was broken by Shams. Wow. Kelsey Plum. Just blockbusters.

I don't know why the Sparks would give up their number two pick. Very suspicious. One lot of picks. But you like the Isles. They're hot. At the end of the day, trying to carry the football and Josh Allen to the Super Bowl was just too much for James Cook to overcome. How about you hand him the ball on fourth and one?

That guy's good. That fourth down touchdown, forgotten. It'll end up being forgotten and it could have been a play for all time. Dan LeBattard saying he wants to get younger, but letting Poppy and Greg Cody carry the live stream. Dan, this two gots is strong in you. I'm glad they were there last night for you. I wasn't, they were, I'm glad they were happy. They made you happy. They were funny. I was glad they were there, but that's not getting younger. Thank you. Yes, that's correct.

I just dropped them. My man. That's right. It was weird. I've never done it before. And totally obvious. Yes, as well. Yes, they are not young people. The average age of Cody and my father is 76 and a half years old. Greg is a young 76. No, he isn't.

Pete Carroll. Ish. Right. Greg is an old 70. Greg and Seinfeld are the same age. I got chills watching Tom Brady zip one to Gronk during the pregame. Did you see it?

He loved, yes, as soon as they brought a football out, Tom Brady's a bit like your dog when it comes to his toy and the throwing him. I guess he famously has been. Yeah. Jaden Daniels deserves better. The D in Jaden Daniels stands for deserves better. Washington fumbled the game away.

You know what they say, Dan? I don't. Ball security is job security. They do say that. Eckler, that one hurt. Oh, did that one hurt. Oh. Hurt.

Oh, I just saw the look on Chris Cody's face of all those prop bet overs on Eckler that he bet just because Eckler's on God Bless Football. And so you go 24 and 1 half yards receiving. Pfft. You go 18 yards rushing. I had it. Yeah.

He's lamenting Eckler. Everyone had a turnover for the commanders in that game I know but we love Austin man You guys saw the stat right that all four of the remaining teams Yesterday had not had a turnover in the playoffs like for all the analysis we do It's just that that one's pretty important like if you do not turn the ball over you tend to win football games. Yep Unless you're the Bills That's right unless Patrick Mahomes is alive.

Not turning the ball over as well. He did turn the ball over actually, right? The Chiefs lost the turnover battle in that game, correct? They turned the ball over once, the Bills played perfect football, still lost. It's gotta be frustrating. It's gotta be frustrating. Did you see Josh Allen when he did fumble the ball and he just leaned over and picked it

up with one handball? It was a play in the game. Insane. Yes, he's a centaur. He's a centaur. The lower half of his body is the, Billy was pleased with his cyclone, cyclone and centaur and cyclops joke. Yes, yes.

What if the Bills hired Spags? That's a great idea. Jaden Daniels, the rare quarterback to arrive despite already having been there for months. He's good. I want to say he'll get back to that game, but it's football. Gatorade Bath in the NFC Championship game, embarrassing. The E in Eagles stands for embarrassing. Act like you've been there before.

Seriously, no one celebrates the championship game like that. No one. Especially when you were a play away from winning the Super Bowl two years ago. Embarrassing. Whoever pushes the tush in a tush push should get the credit for the touchdown. How about that? Or a half tutty or something. I mean seriously, they're doing all the work. They're pushing you into the end zone. Give them a touchdown. Gain well. That guy would

have so many TDs. That actually, those are funny words to put together because touchdown is what you do on gain well in order to gain well. Like yes, you gotta put your hands lower down on his body. I'm with Sugatse on this whole idea of, there should be at least partial credit on the touchdown for somebody doing the pushing of the tush. We were looking at the last Super Bowl matchup between these two teams, and it's rare because the cores are pretty much the same,

but how different Philadelphia is playing from that year. Their whole offense was very quick decisions, no one's gonna be more decisive in the league than Jalen Hurts, and now it's all about the running game. Like the leading rusher in that Super Bowl for Kansas City. Behind Jalen Hurts. Behind Jalen, like in that backfield.

Now they're, they're already, Saquon Barkley team was Gainwell, and he had what? 21 yards. Hmm. He didn't Gainwell. hmm He didn't gain well. Yeah But he pushed well Super Bowl 59 spags versus fangs goosebumps

So why did fangs leave Miami? It's a good question a lot of dolphins wasted fighting hitting get along with the players a lot of people I thought he wanted to be close to family or something. That's what he said Yeah, that was his public. I think I think that there was something legitimately to like going to Philadelphia and coaching for the right Hated Jalen Ramsey. Mm-hmm. He's a Philly guy if I've ever seen one really is yeah But you guys won that bags or fang sure yeah Spagg seems like a Philly guy also. Maybe a buffalo. The real winner yesterday was the Kelsey podcast.

On the topic of the Kelsey podcast, here's something to ponder. Was Jason Kelsey overrated? Hmm. I mean, they set a franchise record for rushing yards the year he retired Do you know where Spags is from? He's from Massachusetts. Yeah close to Buffalo. Hey this he's an asshole. Dan I went to school there I know plenty of assholes and I'm telling you I can get to Buffalo in like two hours for my school

three hours I'm pushing it and I did in that Buffalo in like two hours for my school. Three hours. I'm pushing it. And I did in that Acura Integra. Did I push it? I don't feel like there's anything close to Buffalo. I don't think you can see. It feels like that when the air falls in. I don't think you can say anything is close to Buffalo.

It's a long drive, especially where that stadium is. Yeah. His hometown is a six hour drive from Buffalo. Not in an Acura Integra. Right, pushing it. Exactly. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Jason Whitten would have been a better hire.

What are the Cowboys doing? Billy and I are curious, Stu Gantz, why you would feel the need to lie about why a trip that was six hours would take you two hours. And 18 minutes. And then you made it three hours. Trying to enhance my argument by lying.

The route may be affected by lakeshore flood warnings. You guys have never pushed it in Tegra, okay? I mean... I just don't understand why. Just push it. The route may be affected by lakeshore flood warnings. You guys have never pushed an Integra, okay? I mean. I just don't understand why would you have to say that that's close to Buffalo when it's not close to Buffalo? It depends, are we doing it on a Saturday? Is it a Sunday morning?

It depends, are we pushing it? Is there a flood warning? Yeah, these are things. Does he drive an Acura? The westernmost point of Massachusetts is a five hour drive from Buffalo. I'm with Dan though. What kind of car are you driving?

It's an odd thing for me. Ford Tagliabue. What am I doing, Dan? I mean, you're on nationally and internationally. Someone was going to call you on it. You're just used to getting away with the lies because we can't keep up with them. And not always is someone like Jessica looking up trying to play Whac-A-Mole with the lies. we can't keep up with them. And not always is someone like Jessica looking up trying to play whack-a-mole with the lies.

I love maps. This is the best assignment ever. I don't care if it's Kentucky. You can't storm the court after beating the ninth ranked team in the country. You can't do it. Has any fan base of a below average sports program stormed more courts and fields this year than Vanderbilt?

The Commodores. City of Philadelphia. You don't deserve Nick Sirianni. That bold juicy coming out of the back of Brian Schottenheimer's shirt is Jerry Jones's hand. Nothing unites this country like laughing at the Cowboys. Brian Schottenheimer should do his press conference sitting on Jerry Jones' knee. I asked this question last night. They tried to news dump a head coach, right? They did on a Friday, yeah. The Dallas Cowboys. Can you believe it?

Tried to news dump a head coach Friday, hoping that the games would swallow it and they will. Were you thinking of Syracuse because that's only three hours from Massachusetts. I was, I was thinking of Syracuse. Yes, but then Syracuse is like an hour to Buffalo. No. Nothing is near Buffalo. Push it. Accurate and Tegra. It's 149 miles. I've done it in an hour, I'm telling you, but the route may be affected by Lakeshore floods

so I Was in college it was a different time, but I've made that drive in three hours. I'm telling you Worcester, Mass to Syracuse the Acura Integra is estimated Maximum speed is 135 miles per hour. That's what I'm saying. Max it out at 135. That's pushing it and then do the math from there. Three hours. Boom. How many miles from Syracuse to Buffalo?

149. Alright, so about an hour and change. What? What? The Giants got the Eagles to a Super Bowl. Tom Brady saying he doesn't hate Nick Foles. Liar! You agree?

I do not agree. You think he's telling the truth? You think he likes Nick Foles? I think he's fine with Nick Foles. He's not fine with Nick Foles. He'd have eight if not for Nick Foles. He's fine with Nick Foles. No, you're Brady. What was he, seven and three in Super Bowls?

Yeah, it would have been eight and two. You think if Tom Brady got really fat, everyone would just love him? Yeah. Yes. I think so, too No one gets rewarded for doing dumb things more so than Nick Sirianni Top five people who get rewarded for bad decisions number five president Trump Number four everyone who President Trump pardoned. Number three, Nick Sirianni.

More so. Number two, Christopher Columbus. He's trying to find Asia. He stumbled into America. I mean, number one me. number one me. Hey, watch out for the next. Really? Oh, they're playing out there. I'm so excited about this team. I like basketball again.

Dalton Kincaid, the Mark Andrews is strong in you. Pat Riley, trademarking three Pete back in 1988. Heady play. Wow, Riles nailed it. Super Bowl 59, the greatest coach in Eagles history versus the second greatest coach I got that. Hank Strand. Anybody? You really do have Super Bowl, the Super Bowl is the greatest coach in Eagles history versus the greatest coach in Chiefs history. Second greatest. No, well, hold on, thank you, I heard you the first time.

The greatest coach in Chiefs history and the greatest coach in Eagles history are both in that game, but they're both Andy Reid. No. Nick Sirianni has a 706 win percentage, Andy Reid at a 583. And Nick Sirianni has taken them to two Super Bowls now. I wonder when it is that Andy Reid

will no longer be as beloved in Philadelphia, because I would argue, Eagles fans think that Andy Reid is a great coach because of what he's done in Kansas City. That's correct. Right. They didn't, he wasn't beloved in Philadelphia. He wasn't beloved.

They ran him out. But now if you ask Eagles fans, they're like, yeah, Andy Reid, we loved him. No, now he's beloved. But because of what he did somewhere else. He was Sir he did was Siriani could being complained and fired every every McNabb season about Doug Peterson Hmm, he actually won a Super Bowl with the backup with Nick Foles the Tom Brady loves. Yeah

How about dick for meal He made it to one put it on the pole poll then. Greatest coach in Eagles history. Sirianni, Andy Reid, Peterson, or Vermeel. Dick Vermeel, yeah. Now do it with the Chiefs. Andy Reid or Hank Stram. Fine. Or Dick Vermeel. Oh yeah.

Pat Shermer was 1-0. As an Eagles coach. Nick Sirianni, one win away from being the Eagles greatest head coach ever, and one loss away from being on the hot seat. What a game for him coming up, huh? How the hell did the Chiefs keep doing this? Speaking of hell, our piles. Dan, those are the weekend observations. This is a message from sponsor Intuit Turbo Tax.

This is the Don Lebatard show with the Stugats. I think a lot of people had the reaction that Stugats did to the Gatorade Bath where we're done with it.

Maybe not embarrassing, but just done with that as the celebration. Come up with something new. I don't know why it is that we have now gotten tired of it, but I feel like a lot of people had the same reaction that Stu Gottz did, which is, come on, do something better than that to express joy. Although I would say the same thing of Patrick Mahomes. Hey, Mahomes, quit with the airplane dancing around.

Like, give us something different on the joy level so that we can live vicariously through your joy and not have today feel like a day where people are rooting against the greatness, the obvious greatness that is you. Are you sure that was Mahomes doing that and not Dylan Raola? Because he was there yesterday for some reason.

Do you guys have that video? Can you guys get the video? What, has he now gone too far where he is impersonating Patrick Mahomes, he's trying to look like Patrick Mahomes, he's behaving physically like Patrick Mahomes, and now he's also in the Chief's locker room during a celebration, evidently doing interviews as Patrick Mahomes, what is happening here?

Why is he in the Chief's locker room? He's just wandering about and Isaiah Pacheco saw him and he's like, hey, by the way, this isn't actually Patrick Mahomes. And then he scans over to see Patrick Mahomes sitting down and it's like, oh boy, they're within 20 feet of each other. I feel like this is violating some sort of restraining order

that it should exist, whether it does or doesn't. You feel awkward if you're Dylan, right? Do you kind of just go like, hey man, I'm just trying to? Yeah, who do you think should feel the most awkward here? Cause like, he's getting made fun of, right? Isaiah Pacheco's making fun of him. But it's not Dylan, like he knows, he knows what he's doing is outrageous,

and he knows he's being made fun of, and he's still sinking into it, right? Well he gets to be in the locker room. Right. So whatever you have to do to get to be in the locker room. But it's also weird because he's of the age that he's trying to legitimately be in one of those locker rooms in the next couple years.

So now he's in the locker room, but kind of being made fun of. Wouldn't you assume that wherever it is that social media resides with young people that clout chasing would end up distorting some of the behavior occasionally with a an assortment of people like that that this is Patrick Mahomes his brother is somebody who has also gotten the wrath of the internet for hey you don't deserve that fame what are you trying to do grifting off of the fame of Patrick Mahomes, but isn't this the most common thing

in the world these days? But then he did alleged crimes. I think this is probably an unpopular take on Dylan Raola. I think he's 19 and the things that he gets made fun of are largely harmless. Like he has the Patrick Mahomes haircut and does the celebration and stuff. And I think it'd be cool to be a 19-year-old

and be in the Chiefs locker room after they win the AFC Championship. And plus, Stu, how far away is Lincoln from Kansas City? It's about six hours accurate and teg-rate if you're pushing it. So you're going slower, because it's three hours. Yeah, you gotta go slow in Lincoln. He's got a good excuse.

Speech reps. He's still a teenager. Jason Tatum, no excuse. Are there any other college guys out there imitating other NFL quarterback that just aren't getting the attention? Is there another like her cousins out there at Iowa? I mean, that would be something.

That would be weird. Yeah. Stugats mentioned something during weekend observations. I do wonder how Giants fans are experiencing the idea that they chose Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley. Oh, they have to hate it. I mean, the Giants are responsible for Saquon going there and putting their team into the Super Bowl.

I mean, that's the last team. Giants fans, maybe the Cowboys, want to see playing for a Super Bowl. I can't I I'm honestly I don't know what you guys view to be the greatest of the free agent Additions when Mike Ryan is out here clamoring for the Buffalo Bills to make drastic changes But the two big free agent moves this season somehow After I'm gonna say five years

of everyone telling me how disposable the running back is and watching the economy of running back shrivel up to nothing. Derek Henry and Saquon Barkley being additions that move the needle like that more than any number one receiver and more than any quarterback changing places where you just have a cultural

shift on how it is that a team is viewed for toughness in the space age, spaceship passing age. It's an unusual thing to see exploited as a market inefficiency, especially with New York Giants decision making. They decided to give Daniel Jones the money off a playoff win that could have kept Saquon Barkley. Honestly, I view a lot of this through a Cowboys prism. You have a guy that is a total dictator when it comes to your franchise, and every decision he seems to be making is wrong. It's bad, and it's progressively getting worse. The Brian Schoenheimer thing is just flatly weird.

As Kellen Moore proves to be someone that is a lifesaver for Nick Sirianni, as Dan Quinn is in that game opposite of him, as all these running backs were big splashy free agent signings, that's usually what he goes for. Instead, he brought back Ezekiel Elliott. Like, it's a little confusing what's going on over there.

And they're almost just, if you're a Cowboys fan, you're just like looking at how old is Jerry? How long do we gotta do this? None of this is going in the right direction. If the Eagles win, they should send Joe Shane like a personalized Super Bowl ring, right? Like just to troll him even more win, they should send Joe Shane like a personalized Super Bowl ring, right? Like just to troll him even more. Like they should send a Super Bowl ring and says Joe Shane and then it has like all the little trinkets and everything on it. Maybe put

Saquon's number is his number in there. But like whatever that cost, I think I would do just to mess with them. In fairness to the Giants and Joe Shane, it was hard to see this coming because three of the last four years, Saquon has been well below 1,000 yards. He had the one year where he's injured, had another year where he rushed for 593 yards. Last year was 962. To think that he was going to do this is ludicrous.

He has to legitimately resent his son for that clip going viral this whole season. I bet he's gotten grounded, extra chores. It's like you know the shit that this has caused me? Your bright idea, oh great idea, we couldn't even have taken Jaden Daniels. But yeah, we should have taken him. One of the things that perpetually gets understated

whenever we're talking about any of this stuff is Saquon Barkley has been really healthy all year. And so it helps to be able to break all of those tackles with those giant thighs that are not possible to tackle in the open field when you don't actually get hurt. Because it's not just the season you're talking about that he was hurt. I think of his entire time with the Giants

as Daniel Jones not being good enough, so they kept handing the ball to Saquon Barkley with no openings, and then he'd get hurt. Well, he had the year where he played two games, that was the bad injury, next year 13 games, then 16, last year was 14. I don't assume, though, that he's always healthy, though, once he comes off of that year. Like, the year where you played two games

and then come back the next year and aren't quite yourself, like, what we're presently witnessing from this human being, what could have been projected out of college, because everyone saw what a mammoth beast he was. And he was great as a rookie. But playing behind that offensive line, which for five years has been the best in the sport, even if you take out Jason Kelsey,

has made it a different beast. Why does the NFL still have stationary bikes from 1970 on the sidelines with the giant fans that you have to pump the arms also? Peloton can't step in and be like, we'll provide you with 32 bikes and then just set those up on the sidelines? Because I don't think those are in existence anywhere

except NFL sidelines anymore, right? They should just have an entire soul cycle class going on in the end zone, so if you get hurt, you have to jump into the class and start dancing. That's a good question, Billy. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Why does the NFL use stationary bikes from the 1970s? Also, the difference between athletes and us,

if I run 60 yards and score a touchdown, I'm like panting on the ground with oxygen, not hopping on a bike to stay warm. Well, James Harrison needed oxygen after his famous Super Bowl run. Yeah, true. You are bringing up a point that is visually funny, but that we're used to.

It's not unlike looking at the sidelines, and one of the offensive linemen is using one of those belts that vibrate to lose weight like they did. I love those belts, yeah. In the 70s, like that belt that just gets attached to a machine that shakes a few. I think those are back now. No.

I'm getting IG ads for them. No. Yeah, yeah. That's what you will now. I bought one. No. What was the premise? Like, the science is that it just jiggles your love

handles, I guess? It's like doing 50,000 sit-ups. Yep. Just sitting on your couch. And then you lose weight? Yeah. Well, Mike, your IG knows you're 40, yes? Yeah, it knows that I'm turning 40 with hats

that I can put on that regrow my hair. Hats are a whole lot. But you're a young 40. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you, Carol. No, everything on my IG is all my for you. I did get Kegel exercises for men.

That one's a new one. You got the infrared thing that you put on your head and you grows your hair back? Yeah, I got that one. I fell for it. I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me about the Kegel exercises. I want to play some sound here from God Bless Football.

Stu, God's had a monster year betting football games. Billy, did he end up passing you? Both of you had great years betting games, getting things publicly right when you were being accountable for your picks. Did he end up passing you? I stopped keeping track of how we were doing head to head after a while,

because I learned early on that it was bothering him. So I didn't. I mean, everyone makes a big deal about this big board that's not very big. I mean, no one talks about my picks I mean, I stopped. I yeah, it's just I would go out there put the picks But I that certain point and I hate to say this to our fans of betting public there were weeks And I was like, I hope I hope I have an off week. It's really starting to bother us two guys

You're not fat. You're just wearing the wrong shirts. Thank you. Yeah It's like every time I scroll down The third video is Dana White telling me about something, like I used to be like you, but then I found this guy. You could do it, you could not, but I trust more than anyone in science. What is the name of the belt that is just shaking from a distance?

It can't be made the way that it was for the 1950s, right? Like it's not, you're saying it's the same thing has been reinvented to a new generation where they're like, we'll trick you. You can just sit there. You don't have to exercise. We'll give you six pack abs. All you have to do is wear this around your waist

and it will shake and you watch how your core gets strong. I get that for the back and also for the front. Look, you can be doing 500 crunches while you're just sitting down watching NASCAR. Mike. You're not the problem. Science is. Yes. Let's celebrate Stu Gotsen. I did not know that this was a source of tension between you and Billy. It was called the vibrating exercise belt.

And is it still called the vibrating exercise belt? Because Mike is telling me this is making a comeback. And again, I'm just putting Dion Dawkins on the sidelines. I'm just having him, you go to the sideline, an offensive lineman needs to get, because the reason the stationary bike has the arms moved is because you wanna be interconnected between arms and legs when you're warming everything up and when you're stretching the elasticity

that is the fashion in the body. The one you're talking about actually is called the Walton belt. That makes sense, right? You've heard of that is called the Walton belts that makes sense right you've heard of That before the Walton belts. Yes. Yes. I Upgraded I just I can't believe that this has made a comeback. I was making a joke Let's go ahead and and play the sound though and celebrate Stugatis winning season here. Is this numerically accurate Billy? Would you what You're vouching for the correctness of these

numbers. Let's see what we've got here. In fact, I maintain that no one has ever had a better gambling football season than the one I'm currently in right now. How about that? Two games to go. Let's finish strong. Commanders, they're taking on the Eagles at Philadelphia. Commanders plus six, buy it up to six and a half. Commanders cover, they win the game out right they win by four and advance to the super bowl bills plus one and a half they're taking on the kansas city chiefs

i have no idea what to do with this game online i know exactly what to do with this game take the bills the bills go to the super bowl that's an unfair added i'd put in the slack what Stu got his record was it was like 30 games over 500 you guys Edited just to have him get the games wrong You know we tell them to tighten videos and then this one we want exactly the line Dan wanted

I mean, it's just you know I was one and one this week. I was 8751 and four on the season But we just played. That's unfair. What do you mean, well? I think when you sent the video, they didn't know the context that you were going to be setting up. They just assumed that I was making fun of him versus... I think we wanted to just...the thing to highlight there is he picked the two teams that lost. Like, that's what I thought we were trying to highlight there.

No, I understand, and I'm not complaining about that. I'm just saying it's an unfair video added to Stu Gott. We weren't, look, did you not hear how we started? We are celebrating the fact that he did well. We don't celebrate it enough. He complains about it. There's tension between Billy. I put it in the slack in order to celebrate it. You guys edit out the part that's positive and only leave in what embarrasses him. Can I criticize Stu Gott for something else? Sure. Nothing about Madison Keys and weekend observations? Oh, that's a bad job out of me.

You're right. Taylor. Can you give me, please, the price or some, any information on this Walton belt that is making a comeback so that people jiggle to lose weight? It shakes the fat away. How much does that cost?

The originals are on eBay for around $300. It looks a little dangerous. It looks very old and very torture devicey. I want to please Stu Gotz and make him feel a little better about things. How about you guys just put up a video of Sylvester Stallone talking in order to tickle Stu Gotz?

Allow these today. They don't even allow these today because they're so dangerous. But that's what they used when I did the film. They're barely six ounces. They're Reyes and they're literally lethal. So I still have them because it's a time when people were tougher. Sorry, they were. Life is just getting a little easier and easier and easier, and oh, that's great, it's wonderful, but it's not. I think when we force ourselves into tough situations, that's what the human creature is supposed to do. They're not supposed to have wheels on their suitcases.

They're not supposed to have lawnm their suitcases. They're not supposed to have lawnmowers with engines that pull them along. It's a convenience, no question, but it just makes things easier. Now with AI, you can literally put your brain in the pickle jar and have that machine do it. So I cherish these mowers. I cherish hard work. Even though I hate it, I know it's like, mmm, strong medicine. Tastes horrible going down, but it makes you feel better. He's talking about the Rocky gloves, the six-inch, six-ounce Rocky gloves.

Did you notice behind him he had the heavyweight belt from Rocky and the machete from Rambo? I mean, oh my God. Do you think he believes he was world champion? What a shelf. Put it on the pole, yes, is the answer to your question. He also believes that he could fight and doesn't get dissuaded by the video proof

of the Rocky movies that made all of that punching seem both small and stupid. But put it on the pole, were people tougher during Stallone's days, yes or no? Rolling suitcases catching a stretch. Yeah, what's wrong with, what's wrong, and put it on the poll as well,

do we need to do something about wheels on suitcases? You gotta carry it. You do? According to Sly. Yeah, but why? Same with cars, we should just be doing the Fred Flintinstone like, blalala.

Why did Stallone just do a back in my day being against advancements? Anti-wheel. No more wheels. Wheels are the easy route. Hey there, wellness warriors. If you're like me, you've given a lot of thought to how to improve your health and wellness routine this year.
