I don't know what you guys would nominate as better than this in terms of stuff that the media loves to have and play with. But coach getting snippy with reporter is very high on the list of things that we delight in, correct? Press conference sound of a coach handing down judgment, arrogance, condescension. So Bill O'Brien, if you were not aware, Bill O'Brien is now the coach of Boston College. Boston College is pretty terrible this year. Bill O'Brien evidently didn't like what he was asked here, and Bill O'Brien went maximum Bill O'Brien,

and the reporter ends up getting swallowed in the butt-chin that Bill O'Brien has. Coach, I'm wondering, do you be a message to the fans, obviously losing to Notre Dame Catholic school rival, 1A.8 down in the season of the BC. I've heard from a lot of fans. I just really glad. I'm glad you're down. I'm not down.

Nobody's down. We're fighting. We're competing. You know, it's the second year of this program. Mike, you always come in here with these down questions. Like, you show up, like, once a month or something like that. You come in here with these down questions. I'm not down.

I don't know what year you graduated from BC, but this is a program that we're building. Nobody here's down. We're positive. We're going to show up and play our asses off against SMU. You can go out there in your dark, clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do. We're not down.

The sun is up, and we're fighting. That's my message to the fans. What's up, Trevor? Thank you. Trevor's feeling a lot better than Mike in that situation. Does Mike, put it on the poll at Lebitard show, does Mike always show up with the down questions? What's up, Trevor?

Thank you. We're going to have to clarify that for context for people. Do you have to earn the right? This begs the question. Do you have to earn the right to ask a down question? Like, if I show up like four times a year for an NBA season, am I allowed to ask, like, I feel like you have to earn the right. Be there every day, and then you can ask me the tough questions.

then you can be down. That's what he's saying. You can't show up once a month and come in with just the down questions where everyone sees that you're the person who comes in with the down questions. You've got to be around a little more than that. I know what's up, Trevor, is the funny part of this, but I love how Bill O'Brien cut him off, knowing exactly what Mike's brand is here.

Like, can we play at the beginning? He's like, you know what? I don't know what year you went to BC and you bomb in once a month. I love this response from Bill O'Brien. Coach, I'm wondering, do your message to the fans, obviously losing to Notre Dame Catholic school rival, 1A. down in the season of the BC. I've heard from a lot of fans. I just really glad. I'm really glad. I'm glad. I'm glad. Nobody's down. We're fighting. We're competing. You know, it's the second year of this program, Mike. You always come in here with these down questions. Like, you show up like once a month or something like that.

You come in here with these down questions. I'm not down. I don't know what year you graduated from BC, but this is a program that we're building. Nobody hears down. We're positive. We're going to show up and play our asses off against SMU. You can go out there in your dark, clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do. We're not down.

The sun is up and we're fighting. That's my message to the fans. What's up, Trevor? Thank you. His message to the fans. Trevor, how you doing? Trevor, how you doing? Sun is up, we're fighting.

I do enjoy the idea that not only does he cut off the question, but he cuts off the question by telling down Mike, I'm glad you're down. I'm glad, I'm glad, like I think he meant to say, I'm glad you're here so I can get all of this off of my chest. But instead, what he just said is, I'm glad you're down. That's classic hating, is it not? To say to somebody, I'm glad you're down would be classic hating. Hating 101, would it not? It would be.

Put the talent on alert for SMU, too. Wow. Really? 20 years of watching a team get a signature win against Miami. You love those letdown games. And then stroll into a noon start in the ACC. Put the town on alert. Lots of town on alerts. Lots of town on alerts this week.

Go ahead. Do you want to do it? Go ahead. Put the town on alert. Well, everyone's on Iowa to beat Oregon. Who's Oregon beating northwestern? Bad weather game too, right? Bad weather. I mean, that's at Iowa. We like Iowa there. Put the town on alert.

Town on alert. This line isn't moving in a direction that I would like. but Mississippi State, they're a tough team. Georgia. Snakey decent. Yeah, Georgia, winning within the margins. Put the town on alert. They won their first conference game in two years last week.

Yeah. I'd just like to remind everybody, that's not Pierce Brosnan in Dante's Peak Saint, put the town on alert. That's Mike doing Pierce Brosnan in Dante's Big State. Put the town on alert. And you do it better than Pierce Brosnan did. Maybe, maybe it's him, maybe it's me. Who knows?

Put the town on alert. Wisconsin. plus 11 and a half. I think they can win that game straight up. Now, they have been terrible in conference play, but this conference, bottom part of the conference, just a bad, bad conference overrated. But Luke Fickle just got that extension.

Play hard for coach, plus 11.5. Well, you didn't get the extension. He got the vote of confidence. Red Ashley got the extension. Put the town on alert. We got so many. Penn State, 14 and a half. What are you playing for?

Right? You're going to take Penn State against Indiana? And Indiana rolls teams, but 14 and a half at Happy Valley. No, no, wait. When you put the town on alert. When you put the town on alert, it's to win the game. It's not to cover 14 and a half. Oh, oh, oh.

Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert. I think that this is the signature game for this interim head coach who's name I don't care to learn over in Penn State. Now, this one, the line is moving in the right direction because I locked it in a five and a half, and I think Tulane wins this game straight up.

Memphis put the town alert. Put the town on alert. Memphis really derailed my beloved South Florida Bulls. The way that South Florida fell apart in the fourth quarter, they've got no pass rushes the problem South Florida has. But Memphis is very good in second halves, and Memphis destroyed South Florida in the fourth quarter of that game. Because I really did think South Florida had an angle to be a playoff team

because of how they score, how good they are offensive. They'll write them off just yet. Tulane can help them out tonight when they win straight up against Memphis. We were talking earlier about Tom Brady, and I'm wondering how much you guys got into the story last week, because I really found this a bit shocking, and perhaps I shouldn't have. But I, as a pet lover, as an animal lover, cannot fathom the idea of cloning a pet. that is not the same pet once you've removed the soul which cannot be manufactured you've just got a pet running around your house that is the physical embodiment of the pet that you have lost but is not the actual pet anymore and the thing that I thought and again and again I thought it is he bleeping with us is Tom Brady just doing something to actually create headlines

or am I being fooled by the internet because Tom Brady would be among those most likely to try some of these things, but it's so robotic that I was not offended by it, but it is something that I would not do. This guy thinks pets have souls. What's the mechanics of it? Grow up. Like there has to be a

surrogate dog, right? No, I think they just create it in like a petri- What do you do? Do you have an oven? In-cuit a dog. What do you mean? Do you not remember Dolly the sheep? They did that like 25 years ago. I guarantee you they are like, it's a surrogate dog that is like birthing the dog. I don't think he works that way. They take the blood.

the way they do it with humans. Like what do you guys just think that there's an oven? They put a code in and all of a sudden a dog walks out? Chris, they've been able to clone animals for 25 goddamn ears. I guarantee you this is a surrogate situation.

Then you beg the question, is it really? Stop begging questions, man. Stop begging them. But you're begging it. I'm not. I don't think Chris realizes how funny it is for him to lecture us about how humans do things

while dressed as a bear while visually pointing at us getting angry. It's drinking coffee. So would you guys do this? I mean is not an animal person. But would you guys ever put it on the poll at Lebitzard show? He's going to look it up.

Would you clone your pet? Because I believe this was just, all this was was science lab stuff. I believe that all they did was take some of the DNA of the original dog and then go to a lab and do whatever scientists do to clone things. Yeah. And Dan, you say the soul, you don't want to say soul like the memories. This dog doesn't know you, bro. It's just a new dog that looks exactly like your old dog. But here's the thing about dogs, at least for me,

I feel like every day I see dogs that I've seen a million times before. You go to a pound and pretty much find, unless your dog had, like, Vinaligo or something, you're going to find the same dog at the pound somewhere or at the dog store, wherever you guys get dogs, right? Is it like podcasts? The rescue. It's not like podcasts wherever you get your dog.

So, like, such an unnecessary step, because the thing that you're trying to, recreate is not the physical. It's the emotional. It's the dog that knows me and remembers that time that I didn't even remember. I don't even know about that, man. This, though, this is the reason that I think that Tom Brady is among those most likely to embark on this particular journey is because I really do feel sometimes like Tom Brady is trying to learn all the tricks he needs to learn on how to be human. That he's the closest thing that we have to a robot or an alien, trying to impersonate a human being?

Dan, you missed a great episode of the Dan Lippitar show that because our theory was different. Our theory was he's doing it because it's a test subject for when he eventually cloned himself. And then I had a theory that went beyond that and that he's already cloned himself. That's how he kept winning championships, despite being a million years old. How does he do it? It's because he was a clone. You guys think this is creepy, right? Most people listening to this do think it's weird to clone an animal.

animal, no matter what your or your children's attachment to that animal is. Mike, you wouldn't consider cloning Roma. In fact, Roma is, I would imagine that your relationship with Roma, memories and all, is almost not a physical relationship. I know you're playing with a dog, but the things that you love about Roma are personality-based, things that are unique to Roma. Terror. Yeah, I think there's also, like, some spiritual stuff that would be difficult. for me to come to grips with, but I would like to talk to people about it, not just the people doing the science, but like, you know, get some feedback. I don't know if, do you know Barbara Streisand? Can I speak to her? How did this go? I would, I would like to know, like, was it kind of like it?

Or did it just look like it? Because if it just looks like it, it's not the same dog to me. Oh, but Mike, I'm assuming, never mind just looking like it. I'm assuming if there was a way that your dog ran and all of a sudden you've got a clone that's running differently, now you're reminded every time that's not my dog that that is not that you're reminded all the time that your dog is dead i mean i don't i don't think it's just going to be like this soulless creature that has dead eyes that looks at me that doesn't have like its own charming personality that i can fall in love with and i think i would take solace and like well a little piece of roma is in there it would be like i follow this guy that owns some of like roma's siblings because we adopted roma

and her siblings are all over the place and we found some of her brothers and sisters and I get a kick out of it. I would love to like adopt a dog. It's just a dog. You like dogs. That's all it comes down. It's not like Mike, is that you? What happened? It's like, no, the dog

doesn't know anything. I'm well aware of your whole bit when it comes to pets of my dog. That's not a bit. Like, it's a dog, dude. There's no part of the clone dog is going to be like, you look familiar like I've known you from a life before. No, it's just a dog and feed me, walk me, all that. and you're going to be like, oh, you're a dog,

and you look like my old dog. I love you. But there's no part of this where there's any sort of spiritual connection. No bit of your dog exists in the clone. It's just a dog. Get one of Roma siblings. You're probably going to think it's the same dog.

I believe you're emotionally mature enough to have this conversation with me. It seems that the bear might have been right here. I'm going to read from an article here. If you decide to clone your dog, there are a couple things to be aware of. For one, the cloning process doesn't always lead to a viable egg and even dog pregnancies sometimes

fail. That implies the pregnancy. They don't make these things in an oven. It's a surrogate. There was that one time that Tom Brady's face changed, right? It went from very jolly to very sharp. And it was like maybe he was contrasted. Like in Westworld, like increased sharpness of jaw. No, you know what? You know what that is? That's multiplicity. Because in multiplicity as he keeps Xeroxing himself. The clothes, you remember this, Roy, they begin to deteriorate in like quality, right? So it's like, oh, you look a little weird. You're acting a little weird. You should touch my papy, Steve. It feels like everywhere you turn these days, there's another fee.

Don Liebertard. Doesn't matter anywhere. We could do it in Buffalo or Baltimore, Eva. They said you can do it where? Anywhere. Oh, whoa. Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy.

That's crazy. He said he can do it anywhere. That's crazy, murder. Murder. Tell him. Stugats. I had no idea of Mee and had that in his locker. That might be his best.

That's crazy. I'm not kidding. That's crazy, killer. It's two America's dead. You don't get it. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. of something that I think requires and demands more attention.

If you're not familiar with how crazy it is that athletes are aging better than they ever have, Ovechkin did something no player has ever done before. He scored his 900th goal. That's not something that anyone has ever done.

So it's historic. And the goalie for the St. Louis Blues, who was playing in that game who allowed the goal, Jordan Bennington, he tried to steal the puck in a way that was obvious. He hit it in the back of his pants. He was confronted. When I read about this story, when I read about the entirety of the story that he hit it in the back of his pants and that he was confronted by the referee in the crease, the crease was a funny phrase to hear because it's where I assumed, based on where he was

putting his hand that he had hidden the puck. He was absolutely trying to steal it, right? Was he going to try and sell that on the open market? Like what was he going to, did he just want to keep it? I'm the guy who allowed the 900th goal. That would be a source of shame

to most, but he wanted to compound the shame by stealing the puck. Or maybe he just wanted to make sure it went to Ovechkin and he would hand deliver it or he's a goalie. They're all insane and he's just having fun. It's probably the latter, considering that the linesmen will probably

pick the puck up out of going and hanged to the trainer on the capitals. Yeah, he's just insane. I don't like that guy. He ripped my heart out at the Four Nations. Yeah. I mean, goalies are strange. In fact, by position, I think that, let me think about this for a second, in terms of positions throughout sports. You got your middle

linebacker that always has to be crazy. Kicker? Yeah, the kickers get personal. Well, they're just strange. No, but I think goalies, thank you. That's the conversation we're having. But they're strange. No, no, no, they're strange compared to everybody else but they're like they're normal people closers good one fist me bear yeah but goal goalies i think win the category if i would i would put on the poll put all of these on the pole strangest person goalie kicker middle linebacker closer those are the four are we going are we

is there is there a fifth category there are none in basketball correct well we've got two in basketball Well, one is seven-footers generally tend to be very strange people, even by basketball standards. Also, I don't know if this is universal across all sports, but in basketball, if you're from Seattle, you're probably a weirdo. I'm going to eliminate Seattle, but I am going to put seven-footers on there. The University of Florida played the tallest player ever played yesterday. Rue, the guy off the bench, 7-9. 7-foot-9 is the tallest player to ever take the court. And I believe, wasn't there someone around here?

I don't remember who it was who said that they had the blueprint on how to defend Wemby now, that the blueprint, that the blueprint, you have. The blueprint is out, Dan, and you know how I know things, right? Tony finds out very quickly. Yeah. Very quickly. So what I've realized is, hey, if you have a smaller guy on Wemby, who's physical, who's going to rake his hands every time he touches the ball, it seems to work out.

And that was the blueprint last year when the, when the Thunder were on their way to the championship, It was like, hey, why don't we just bother Yokic with a smaller guy, force him to create on his own? In the opposite side where Wemby's like, damn, I can't create because this guy's just always bothering me. So a PJ Tucker type is the way to defend. I like that body type. Yeah, absolutely. You get someone small and stocky and physical, pushing them out. Then you got a coordinated trapping attack, attacking from the blind side.

I thought the sons did a good job in delivering the Spurs' first loss in terms of they sent help. and then the guy at the nail rotates out to where the help came from, and they just had this kind of this... It's like a motion defense, basically. Like a motion defense. And it's all based on, look, he can't see everything. It might actually work more for Wembe than it would for Yokish. Yolkish is such a great passion.

He can see everything. Yeah, Wemby's not there yet in terms of passing, so it's a way more effective strategy. Unfortunately for this kid, for Florida Roo, you don't need all that. He's a stiff. Yeah, just shove him up. In a way, Wembe, he's not. But, again, it's interesting to see, like, all right, he's got these incredible games where they're trying to defend them with another big.

And then all of a sudden, you see the games where they've tried this scenario. And it's like 9 points, 15 points. It's like, oh, wait a second. But you guys are like me, right? I think that I would represent what would be the normal human reaction of any sports fan. You hear a guy at 7-9, and what sweeps over you is sadness for that person, correct? That that has to be a difficult life that he has lived the entirety of his life, or am I different than? most on that first. I think

given thought, yes. I begin to think of, oh yeah, that must really suck. But is it the first thing I think of? No. I think he's a stiff, and then I feel sad afterwards. So, okay, so you guys don't hear 7-9 and immediately say, oh, that life must be tough to just take every daily step through that life physically. You're so strange, man. I'm like, oh, he could touch the hoop without moving. It's a thought. It's just not the first one. The first one's like, wow, you're

huge. But 7-9. My first thought is get that guy in the anchor of the two, three. Stand there, buddy, do not move. Why doesn't he block kicks? Wow. They tried that. I think this is the guy that they brought him out there. Yeah, well, that shows you.

They brought him out to the football fields, and they're like, all right, let's reinvent the game of blocking kicks. Billy Napier's no longer there. This guy's a stiff. Just sit him over the nose tackle and just have to stand up. Honestly, how bad must that have gone for this guy to not just stand there and do that? He clearly affects it, right? Yeah. Yeah, except...

What is he doing? Sitting down? How bad are you at this practice? He's in a three-point stance. Put it on the poll at Levitard show. Should the 7-foot-9 guy be great at blocking field goals? Why don't they just move him all the way back to the goal post? He stands there and as the ball is coming, swats it.

Does that work? Can you do that? Why not? Whoa. You can block it at the LOS. There's no goal-tending? No. No one's ever really tried that.

That's what I'm saying. It's got to be against rules. No, no. It's like the tush push. It's like the tush push. push, they're going to have to ban it at some point, but they can't now. It's not the easiest to jump. You guys, it would have to be very close to the crossball.

It's an easy for a 7-9 guy. Wait a second. Did we just reinvent football? I think so. The guy who kicked the 68-yard field goal the other day? That just went in, exactly. He gets that and slaps it. He just threw the crossball.

We put Victor and Bioma right there. He's tossing that. Exactly right. We are brilliant. You guys believe that it can be done because Tony's sitting here with conviction saying that it's allowed, and I'm not sure. Who's ever tried to do that? It sounds illegal.

They haven't done anything. Yeah, the two sports are illegal, right? Yeah, but they may, yeah, when you were asking the question, why haven't we seen it yet? The answer might plausibly be because it's illegal. But if you can block it at the line of scrimmage when it's already in flight, why can't you stop it at the way down? There's no goaltending. The sports got stupid rules. You can't advance a muff.

Why? I don't know. A fumble rusky, that's why. I'm assuming that this is against the rules, but I shouldn't assume that because there are any number of things in sports that you can't help but laugh at today that we've been doing it wrong all our lives and we're no longer doing it wrong. Like there, for example, the three-point shot is worth more than the two-point shot. It's more valuable.

That is something basketball should have been doing since the three-point shot was invented in 1979. Like people should have been going for the shot that was worth more. The way football coaches are now behaving on fourth down versus the way they've always behaved on Fort Down. And the way baseball players are now saying, you know what, home runs are much better than stolen bases and one base at a time. It's much better to do. Like, the idea that we could play these sports wrong for 50 years at a time makes me think that somebody somewhere has just overlooked the fact that you can block field goals by standing underneath the crossbar. I research this. There is goal tending. Really? You can't touch the ball once it

clears this new goal zone. What's your source? Chat, GPT. I don't know, but it could be wrong. It says on the bottom, Chatsypee can be wrong. And again, it is often. Like, the time it thought my Halloween costume was an ode to the time I wore a bathrobe on ESPN. I'm like, I'd never wore a bathrobe, but what are you talking about? Stupid. I think it's still out.

Jury's still out on Chachapit's answer. Here's my belief as to why we haven't seen it happen. It's a couple of things. Number one, to have someone that tall, like, we just don't have that walking around in general, right? forget about in the NFL, just in general. And then most of the kicks, unless they're just about to clear the crossbar, if it's higher, no tall guy's going to be able to get to that one. Of course.

There could be 20 feet in the air. I get that. But when you trot out a seven-footer and you say, all right, they're going for a 60-yard field goal. You have one guy on the roster who's six, you know, nine or seven feet tall or whatever. You trot them out there and you say, all right, if that thing is close, you swat the shit out of it. Except that we've now found out this is illegal. Chat GPT, though, that could be wrong. On Fox 1, you can stream your favorite live sports, so you're there for the biggest moments as they happen.

Stugats. It's the final nightgown. This is the Dan Levatar Show, with the Steve. Good God. Before we get to Matthew Barry, did you guys make money on Matthew Barry last week? Because Matthew Barry is giving you good information here in order to make money. Like he's got, he's got... Parker Washington had a nice game.

I know he called them out. Yes, he had a number of things that he got right. He's gotten a number of things right. The only thing he got wrong, I think, was Daniel Jones. It is indeed called goaltending. It has been outlawed. Randall Cobb once attempted this. It didn't strike the ball, but had he struck the ball,

everyone saying it would have been a penalty for gold tending. I don't know. And I do think that there is a case study. I have to go back into and review the micro-fiche, but I think a basketball player did force the NFL's hand to put this role in place. So do you think before we get started in earnest and speed up Matthew Berry, let's just get his expertise on this? Matthew, do you think if I took that Florida Gator Stiff Rue,

whose first name, I don't know. He's 7 foot 9. And put him on the line to block field goals. Do you think he would be good at blocking field goals if I just took a 7 foot 9 guy and put him over the center? Oh, he's muted. Okay, he said yes, but his sound is not

up there. So hold on a second. But I saw it. I read his lips and let's get his sound right. Let's make sure that his sound is right so that the next time I ask him a question that's not the way that it goes. Roy, what is your level of confidence? I'm glad that the bear is all over things that he needs to be on on this particular instance. Very high.

So your level of confidence is now good. All right. Very high. Very high. Matthew Barry. He said yes, though. You should not. Yes.

Yes. I'm in on the 7 foot 9 guy. Yes. My only word is the pads. How do you get a pad like that big? The torso is massive on a guy like that. You got a little pad. You just put them on the shoulder.

They figured out. That figured out. It's, you know, like, whatever. They get different uniforms every other week in the NFL. They'll figure out a pad size. Hey, Bear, can you come over here, please, and do the promo for Matthew Barry and give me the music again so that we can celebrate Matthew Barry the way that we're supposed to celebrate Matthew Barry.

Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Check out Matthew Barry's fantasy football happy hour weekdays at noon on YouTube. Give it to us, Barry. Give us money. All right.

Justin Herbert is third in the NFL and passing yards for games. name quarterbacks that face the Steelers this year are averaging 299 passing yards per game. In fact, the last three to face the Steelers, Daniel Jones, Jordan Lovin, Joe Flacco, all through for at least 340 yards. They've also allowed at least two total touchdowns to every quarterback they face this year, except Dylan Gabriel, Justin Herbert, not named Dylan Gabriel. Since week four, the second best quarterback in fantasy points per game, Matthew Stafford, 25, at least 25 and for the last five.

Since week five, the Niners allow over 21 fantasy points per game for the last five quarterbacks to face the Niners have scored at least 20 fantasy points as well. All right, let's see. Rico Dattle has had three games this year with at least 20 touches. He scored at least 28 fantasy points in each one of them. The reason I bring that up is that running backs to seem at least 15 touches against the saint this year are averaging over 17 fantasy points per game. Rico Dadaal last week played 74% of the Panthers' even with Chuba Hubbard back.

In three of the last four completed games for Quinn-John Judkins, one of being left early due to injury. but the three games that he finished, he had at least 24 touches. Okay, since week two, the Jets are giving up the fourth most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs, and that was before they traded away their two best defensive players, take the over on Junkins' rushing prop. Let's see. In the five games since Tyree kills the injury, Jalen Wiles had at least 80 receiving yards in four of them.

He's averaging over 15 fantasy points per game. That stretch, Buffalo is allowed at least 16.9 fantasy points per game to an opposing wide receiver. In four straight games, dolphins, by the way, are nine and a half point. underdogs to Buffalo. They'll be throwing. In games where he's seemingly seven targets here, Cristle Lobby is averaging over 15 fantasy points per game. Here's the Saints' step chart behind Olbe now. 32-year-old Brandon Cooks, Devon Bailey, who has five receptions on the season, and Mason Tipton, who has zero. Rashid now in Seattle. Since week six, Wondell Robinson has a 30% target here. He averages over eight targets a game. No team

allows more touchdown to the slot where Wondell Robinson lines up. Then the Chicago Bears, that's who Wando plays this week, four straight weeks. Arronda Gadsen, finished as a top 12 tight end. He's averaging almost 18 fantasy points for game during that stretch. And so far this year, the Steelers, once again, ranked bottom five in the NFL in terms of most receiving yards, most fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Excellent work, Barry. You're cashing in this year, right? You're doing well. You're doing well so far. Better than usual, or? Things have been good to me. It's gone well. I don't know that I'm better than usual.

Well, it's been a pretty typical year. You got a lot of stuff right. You get some things wrong, and, you know, hopefully you finish in the money. And so far it's been, you know, I've been doing this long time. So it's gone well for me. My enthusiasm that people questioned at the beginning is not insincere once I realize that this man is giving away money. This sends to be something that, you know, makes me a little bit happier than I was now that I'm a little more informed about my wedding practices. Yes.

It's an indictment that it took you that way. Yeah. I understand that I'm late to this particular. particular game. It's all plays the props. Matthew, good talking to you. Thank you, as always, for making the time for us every week, sir. Appreciate it, always, Dan.

We'll see you next week. All right. I see that the group back there has been delighted by something. You were doing research, and all of you were very excited, including the bear. Yeah, there was a Miami connection. So Hank Stram, the great chief head coach, had a 6'10 player, Morris Stroud, Jr., who was actually born in Miami. He was a tallest player in the league, and he realized that they're not blocking kicks at the line of scrimmage, all that effectively.

So his plan, over the course of four years, and Stroud was successful at it a handful of times before the owners colluded to stop it, was to have Stroud goalt-tend at the field goal post. So that's what changed the rule? That's what made it the rule that Tony now questions is a rule because it doesn't trust. Instead of being ahead of my time, I was behind my time because that happened 65 years ago. But again, I had no knowledge of it, but me and Hank Stram, one brain. Great minds think alike, Dan. And I, for one, if I were an NFL coach, I'd petition to change that rule back. Force him to do it again.

Be like, oh, you want to stop it? It's not like it's easy. It's not like it's easy to block that. It's not like the number of opportunities to block that is plentiful. But if you want to carry a roster spot dedicated to a dude who's 6-10 with a 7-4 wingspan, go ahead, knock yourself out. But they were doing it back then because people were smaller.

6-10 was the equivalent of 7-9. We got a 7-9 guy now. That's obviously a foot taller. It's like 8 feet tall. Yeah, and then I'm assuming the 8-footer has very long arms. I'm assuming that if he plays basketball, he can get off the ground some, although as little as Rue plays, I don't think that may.

I do think his feet might be bolted to the ground. Rue was unable. He's got an 11-inch vertical, apparently, but he was unable to block a single kick during his workout with Florida football. Coaches were a little disappointed. That's good reporting by you. Oh, I thought he'd be better.

I think it's bad coaching on their part, to be honest, you know. I mean, was, you know, Billy Napier's staff. No longer there. Can you guys help me with more information on a couple of football stories that are very difficult to talk about and I don't know how people are talking about these stories? First of all, Antonio Brown being arrested in Dubai for attempted murder was something that we have seen, as the details have been reported on Antonio Brown's life that seemed to be more and more reckless in public.

And if the details in public are this reckless, I'm going to assume that he's not getting caught every single time he's doing something wrong in public. Antonio Brown for a while has been descending into a combined health of danger and what appears to me to be mental illness stuff. And now there's a charge he's caught while he's in Dubai. And I don't know what he was doing in Dubai. Was he trying to stay away? Like he was there for a long time in Dubai. And he had trailing him that he got into a fight in public. There's a video at a boxing match of him getting into a fight in public.

and then he took a gun and took shots at somebody with a gun. That's what the video looks like, makes it look like. That's what it looks like to everybody. And then he was all of a sudden in Dubai for a long period of time. And now he's being arrested on murder charges while in Dubai. Are there any details here that are new or fresh that make you wonder whether Antonio Brown's about to lose a good deal of his freedom? and it's going to be one of the most apocalyptic cases we have ever seen of an athlete of any kind,

not just a football player, going through a descent into straight madness that ends with the last time we saw him on a football field, he was kicked off the field by the champion bucks, he took his shirt off, and then just all of a sudden everything in his public life has become something that's hugely messy. Well, luckily enough, nobody was injured, nobody was hurt, nobody was killed. So it is attempted murder. the reason why there was a scuffle outside of a boxing event he shot two shots or three shots into a crowd that's where the alleged attempted murder charges from but he was in

Dubai it's been very kind of like off the off the lamb right or on the lamb he hasn't really been in public eye all of a sudden he shows up in Dubai getting extradited uh Dubai allowed us marshals to go in and basically go find a B which is a weird thing too because it's like is that is that legal do they do that like how does that work but now he's being extraded back to the United States to face those attempted murder charges. So it's kind of a weird situation where luckily nobody was hurt, but there's been a long string of trying to catch this guy. He did announce that he's handing over the social media keys of C-T-E-S-B-N to his team as

he lays low and deals with us. Stay low. I heard from inside. You think that was like a company email? He's like, all right, guys. Hey, team. Stepping away. Stay low.

hearing you go ha from inside the cavernous bear costume so much so cavernous that I could hear the echo from inside of the dampness was a funny ancillary sound to have around a very serious story I don't think I've ever been this damp I'm trying to turn this mic off the battery look kind of damp too though battery yeah that was definitely a bit damp as well that was a damp one It's a black, you know, the black big bar. Chris, how do you feel right now? Damp.

Is that, that's the, you're going to leave here tired, correct? I am tired. It's just like, you know, I'm just looking at our clock and just being like another minute 20. Got some rest. We got a big night ahead of us. What should I do? Yeah, I know, big one at the front on the night. Dan, you going?

Can we get your support? Is Unda good or is you not good anymore? Oh, we're under versus the Unda Takeda. The Undetaker. Ha ha! The problem. and the only problem that I have with getting out there is you guys play at the height of problematic traffic.

Like you guys, it is really hard to get over there. It takes 90 minutes to get there. You're fine. It's eastbound is the issue. Take the chopper. You never know who will show up. Like, Bob W'Sheuser might be there today. Is Undataka German?

Yeah, you pick up that name. No. The Undertaker. Wunda is from the Basque country. and he loves to play that's the guy that I got into it in the locker room with I'm like I have to play boss

I know you want to play but we got championships in mind can the bear sit out the club can I be done no god no so I'm gonna dance you got you got away from the 29 nuggets that you should have finished

you're finishing the bear costume damn it go fuck yourself I was a called for just do your costume you have to finish the punishment you can't just wander around Earth being in an occupation

that allows you to be high all the time. It's unbearable. Don Lebatard. It sounds to me like everybody could use a hug because a hug is always the right size. Stugats.

All I have put in my body today is three cups of coffee and an entire cup of honey. Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. I don't know.

To act like the fans Have lost the faith I'm glad that you're here So I can tell you to your face We are competing Right here at BC, man you sound crazy No one in this program's feeling down You are the only person who's worried

BC isn't down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. B.C. isn't down, down, down, down, down, down. Down, down, down. What's up, Trevor, no one year is down. There I say he did need background vocals. Yeah. You need to do, ooh, ooh, da. We told them, though.

We knew he rushed it. Sorry, that wasn't a quick enough turnaround for you. Look, it was incredible considering the time constraints. Also, Chris is dying of dehydration. Thank you for your art. I'm damp still. He's lost a lot of fluids. I don't know if you have noticed.

Hey, yo. You have a water machine outside. That's crazy, I mean. A water machine. That's that what it's called? It's called the water machine. Yeah, it's a machine that dispenses water. That's what Dan calls it.

Colorado Boulders. Yeah, water machine. Horse. Farm machine. Oh, man. Oh, man. You like that one, huh? One time.

One time. That was like the peak of me being stone. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Well, I do. know that to be true, but even during an ad reads, like... Quervo. I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Quervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo.

So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.co.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo.
