You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. These side marios all you can eat is all you can munch a soup, salad, and garlic This is the Dunlambator Show with this 2-Guts Podcast! This Buffalo thing's crazy, right? Like, Kendorce is just getting fired after they lose a game because they turn the ball over a bunch of times, it's not as like, like, McDermott's done, obviously, right? Like, this is his last move before he gets fired and And like, would it be crazy? I wouldn't be surprised if Ken Dorsi's a head coach next year, right?

Would you guys like once there's vacancy? Where? Ken Dorsi is the head coach of the bills next year. How about you, Em? Let me. Whoa. Whoa. Wow.

I feel you very improbable. I do think this is the move of a head coach who's hearing he's on the hot seat. And he's like, I have to do something right now. Yeah, just keep going. I agree. I want to get to the video. I want to show the video that I associate now forever more with Kendorzi.

This is a national champion at the University of Miami and he is somebody who climbed in coaching to get to this job, Stugats, that has solidified him as climbing up to where it is that head coaches reside. He was on the track because he had tamed Josh Allen and helped make Josh Allen into a better quarterback. And there's nothing better that you can do as a coach in that sport. If you're somebody like Sean Payton who can make Russell Wilson better, if you're someone who has that skill as a coach, if you're Kyle Shanahan, if you're someone who can make quarterbacks, however it is that you make them, Debal clearly didn't take that skill with

him. Dorsey stayed in Buffalo and yes, was going to be in line for coaching jobs if Josh Allen improved looks like he's going back in the line But he has been fired and I am not only the show on a Tuesday that talks about whether or not windows have closed I now break into what we're doing to talk about a coordinator being fired. My career is going in the total wrong direction. No, see, who's in charge of defensive substitutions? I think that's who should be fired today. Fire, whoever it is that caused the 30 plus yards and penalties on the last try.

Jess, I have the place for him. Alabama? I do not want to do that show. Oh, I love that show. Listen, I hate when head coaches do this. I do not want to do that show. I love that show. I listen. I hate when head coaches do this. I do where they don't take responsibility. Okay. You know Penn State James Franklin did it. Billy, I'm all about responsibility. You know that. Okay. James Franklin did it. He fired his defensive coordinator offensive court is OC. Sorry about that. Just thank you for the correction. And now you have McDermott doing it like enough is enough, okay? Like I'm serious. It's the head

coach's fault. It's not Ken Dorsey's fault that there were too many men on the field last night. That is McDermott's fault. And he should be fired for it. And he's going to get fired for it. Greg, why is your hand not in the mayonnaise? I was going to keep it mayonnaise free just until I did my back of my day so it wouldn't distract me. And then I was going to put put it back in put it back in the mail I'm here on the Ken Dorsey may replace Bella check in New England and fix Mac Jones What are we doing? That's what I'm here and Bella check goes to Buffalo about that

I'm not doing that show that the Buffalo Not you have shuffling off the Buffalo gonna do any that. You're gonna put your hand back in the mayonnaise to pay off the punishment that is show long. Show long. And there, how's that? Yeah, just keep it in there. We'll get to your back in my day in a second. We will do that.

But before we do that, I just wanted to talk for a second about, yes, Billy. Dan, the rare Stevens-Alist where the Dolphins have moved up in the rankings after a week of inactivity. Good bye. Good bye. When I tell you about the buy-wee, they won the buy-wee. They definitely won the buy-wee.

Yeah. We got Lions at five, Ravens at four, Dolphins at three, Chiefs at two. Eagles will be at one. We don't need to watch for it. That's it. That's all you need, but you're happy that the dog that we're back. The dolphins did some winning by doing some healing and just watching everyone else lose.

That's rare for him because it's usually just who won last week. That's my list. Well, the 49ers had a big win. You think maybe they're going to find the way back on Steven's a list. The Cowboys had a win. They're not on there. Can we do this, please? I'd like a board behind me.

And I want to do my top five who won last week I'm on it. Maybe really and just and I actually have my top five wins from last week I want to do that segment on a board behind us at some point Finally where I am just no, but it's just schedule. Oh, it's just and San Francisco won number five And Houston won number four I'm not actually doing Number five and Houston won number four. I'm not actually doing anything. Well, the rest of them. Yeah, I might change.

Now they're more I've got. I can choose so many. They'll be outside looking in. What you mock this, but yesterday on God bless, football Monday hangovers to God's head is top five winners of the weekend and top five losers of the weekend, which was literally just five teams that won five teams at loss.

I'm not surprised that he's parting out that on a Monday morning. So before we get to back in my day, though, I want what is the waiter bringing into you? Oh, a board. Yes, a board. We're going to try to do the electronic board, but all right. The waiter's over eager. He will get a bed tip and a condescending pass of aggressive comment from Greg Cody. Billy, how was your big board bets, I mean, one and two, Josh Allen really let me down. I believed in him and it didn't work out with the face while him running into the end of when he had some a wide open was quite selfish because it

really cost me. He could have had a second passing. I needed that to get that was a great no. Jim Harbaugh of Judge Judy fame. I want to. Speaking of coaches who take accountability. I want to just show this video of Jim Harbaugh and his father at a Judge Judy taping because he got in front of the cameras yesterday and was maximum Jim Harbaugh and I do goths what is happening here between in the spots between people think this is all wildly overblown

and people think this is cheating of the highest order that must that must rain down judgment and punishment on. And I'm just here to laugh at all of it the way the Harbors did at Judge Judy just having the time of their life I mean Jack Harbore really does look Look like Harbore like that smile Jim is having the time of his life at Judge Judy, but look at Jack Harbore and tell me you cannot see both Jim and John Harbore in the face in the same person. I think I've got front row seats to Judge Judy and This this is how DNA works, Dan.

Oh, but thank you. I appreciate it. But they look like their dad. They could look like their mom. Billy, maybe say that. They could look like their mom. Yeah. That smile is maximum harboh.

Look at it. You can see where it's descended. They could have gotten their mom's mouth. It's got some evil to it. It does. Tracks, gotten their mom's mouth. It's got some evil to it. It does. Tracks, especially. Yeah, definitely. It's an evil grin.

Core looks fun. Harba's probably enjoying some of the maximum tension and stupidity of this. Yeah, this is a guy who loves law and order. Loves following the rules. Loves justice. This guy in the front row of Judge Judy Hippocrite

Carball I Mean Keter elaborate. Yeah, I would I was doing the subtle thing there Listen if if what your school did if what your program did is Serious enough to get the head coach Susp suspended for the three most important games of the season, why isn't it important enough to penalize the program? penalize the kids.

penalize the kids. the kids schmids. These are 23 year old future millionaires. They're not kids. They're playing for a school that cheated evidently. they're getting paid now. so the school should be penalized. You don't get the attention of a school unless you penalize the program and cost it millions of dollars. They should not be allowed to play in the college football player. They should be disqualified because of this. Also, if you cheat on a test, you're suspended from school. These kids

probably should get suspended from school and not get degrees. I'm not going that far, but you have a right to your opinion. Billy goes with you everywhere. He won't go with him. Not in this case, but I would penalize the team, the program, the school. I didn't enjoy the merry anarchist skipping with him hand and hand and then getting left behind,

because Greg's like, no, I'm not going there with you. Well, they were having a little... Yes, let's go, Greg. Look, we'll come over here. We'll piggy-pittle our way to the kids. I wasn't sure whether Billy was being facetious or not. He's probably being facetious. Well, no, no.

I mean, I'd argue it should be made that the president of the university should act because they're bringing disgrace to this university as kids by cheating. We're questioning the character of Michigan men. That's right. Exactly, Billy. Well, someone think of the Michigan men.

I don't think enough was made of Penn State and Michigan playing the Army Navy game and just dressing it up in different colors. I don't think enough was made of them setting football back 100 years with that football game. Dan, that might have been your best take ever. I sent that clip that our social team posted on Twitter to so many haters that I know. And they all loved that take by you.

Put the game on an aircraft carrier, send it out to see. Get it out of my face. I never want to see it again. They're disguise. They tried to dress up the army moving game that one I can thank them for their service This one. No, I will not thank you for your service No, you wrecked my Saturday. It told me that was a big game bullshit. You should thank me for watching that game No bullshit No, no, you told me that was a big game and it's different now and Michigan's different. No They're gonna be Wisconsin in a different uniform. I do think Kendorcy scores 30 points if he's Penn State's offense

Maybe do a little switcheroo. Do you have your top five winners for the board then? I got to prepare I got really energy right. I'm not I can't just do that I think we all do our jobs the way you do. It's to that skating in on a flume of bullshit. I do also want to say my death penalty thing. That was a joke about Michigan's football program, which I am only clarifying because Jim Harbott may actually be pro death penalty. He has conservative leading politics. What were the interesting things from yesterday regarding Harbaugh, regarding him leaning

into it? Because it is funny, Stugat, some of this. The idea that so many of the people covering this, us included, can't actually quantify for you what the advantage is, allows Harbaugh a space to deny that makes him feel rebellious because he doesn't have to treat this seriously because we can't we don't know there's nobody who's explained us this resulted very obviously in this advantage and so he can skate in all the nebulous and choose whatever facts he wants and his fan base wants my guess is he's never been more popular in Michigan than he is right now. There's no doubt.

He played quarterback for Michigan. No, but as a rallying force around, we're being wrong. This is all BS. They don't think we can just be excellent. They think we had to cheat our way into it. Don't forget the Michigan State fans who hate us. Guts in Michigan, though. Very house divided situation.

It is really fun to see. It's like Ryan Dace, that earlier this year, Ohio versus the world. Now Jim Harbock gets to say Michigan versus everybody. Indiana's like us versus I don't know Illinois. Like who are we going against? But he took a strange trip to get to the place

he wanted to get to, which is being beloved by that fan base. It took cheating for him to get there, but he's there and I'm with Dan. He's never been more popular ever. Please call. He's calling his team America's team now, which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, except for the fact that America to a large extent is a full of people who do cut corners and cheat whenever possible. Oh my God. Are they going to do an insurrection if they don't make it to the national? Are they gonna storm the field at the national championship game now? They're put...

Slude to that boy. Okay. I don't think that's a proof. I don't think that's proof. I think that's a lie. I think that's a lie. I don't think that's a lie. That's absolute. I don't think that's I think that's a lie. I don't think that's absolute. I don't think that is evidence salute to that boy So it's it suggests Kim a flash. It suggests that you do has no idea what we're talking about

And now it's just Googling it Stugots I'm not Googling in here. My grandma. I'm a state in the country. I watched the braves I watched Colombo. I watched Matt Lug, I watched Andy Griffin. Yeah, I watched the Juco to the pin of the bus, damn, damn, damn, take your answer to the pin of the bus. Oh, jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez, jeez. Back to you, Stu. This is the Don Leverto Show with the Stu Gods.

I can't believe the firing of an offensive coordinator in 2023 jostled this show. Big news, ma'am. If you want to know the explanation, though, for why it is Ken Dorsi got fired, I'm sure that this is it in one sentence. The bills have the same record as the Raiders. Get out of here, Dorsey. That's it. That's it.

Okay. Get out of here, Dorsey. That's it. That's it. Okay. Get out of here, Dorsey. Somebody's got to go. Somebody's got to go. Good job, challenge our quarterback and we need to be better than that. I mean, if they continue to just turn the ball over, but nothing else changes, like their offense will probably get worse now. Like, Ken Dorsey was probably the best you could do on the staff. I think Joe Brady now is gonna take over play calling duties. This is a something of a delight here. You have to understand the Miami Dolphin fan base doesn't get to laugh at many people over the last 30 years.

In fact, there's a generation. Some of the best marino years were trampled. Their defensive coordinator was literally trampled on the sidelines by Thurmond Thomas because the bills kept getting to the Super Bowl and losing getting past the dolphins and Losing in the Super Bowl But do you understand that that city doesn't have anything else? This is their sports identity bills mafia is the proudest thing in the history of that city They finally had a quarterback. It's been so long. It's been like since Jim Kelly that they they talk themselves into Tyrod Taylor because they went 17 years without a playoff

appearance you have to understand that what is happening right now in Buffalo as regional identities go they dared to hope in that city they did they know better than to hope in that city they dared to hope because they've been left that for many years because they've got the quarterback, but the quarterback and a Donnis Hercules should be out there playing on a stallion. Everything Trevor Lawrence wishes he was with that flowing hair has an Achilles heel. He keeps giving the bolder the other team. The story got you. Yeah, did you're in Buffalo? Buffalo as a city has done some suffering. And this hurts that city.

And if you think that heat fans enjoy hate watching eight games of Damien Lillard, you have to understand in football, generations go back and this is one of the few rivals. This and the jets, the Patriots wasn't a rivalry. They just trampled Miami all the time. Everyone this Buffalo and the jets. The Patriots wasn't a rivalry. They just trampled Miami all the time. Everyone this buffalo and the jets are the teams that the

dolphins want to be able to laugh at in fairness to to the bills. Everyone has thought at some point Ty Rotter could be the guy. And Aaron Rogers could fix that. It killed his heel in like six years. Let's get to Greg Cody's back in my day.

Wow. And now, it is time to take a trip down memory lane. Here's your guy, Greg Cody, with back in my day. Pre-boarding. Your microphone wasn't on. Let's try it again. Hold on, let's start the whole thing. That was off my, your microphone won't work. Try it again. Let's try it again. Hold on. Let's start the whole thing.

That was off my, your microphone wasn't on your hand. You did so little just the rest second before that no one noticed the entire segment of your microphone. That's what happened. Let's go. Let me. I'm a bad chipper. That's why nobody threw my mic on.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will restart with the big dipper, the bad Tipper. Greg Cody, let's restart the music. I'm sorry. We found that out for you. Oh, damn. The ramshackle up, really. He was. All right, so I'm ready. And now, it is time to take a trip down memory lane. Here's your guy, Greg Cody, with back in my day.

Pre-boarding! Hey! By large, I don't complain about air travel, travel like most people do. I don't threaten a lawsuit if my flight is delayed. Don't f*** about the tiny bag of peanuts. Understand the guy in front of me might lean back and infringe on three inches of my personal space. And don't treat the occasional middle seat like an insurmountable hardship in my life. Airline travel from the most part is reasonably economical, convenient,

efficient, and fast. But pre-boarding? This is run amuck. It is the greatest annoyance and air travel and the airlines themselves are the root cause of this gaping loophole through which pathologically entitled travelers saunter through Scott free in a direct slap in the face to the rest of us. Look, I know you get what you pay for. You pay for a first class ticket and we folks who don't understand we have to do that walk of shame past the big spenders already coughing red wine as we slog past slump shoulder to the 38th row.

I love when there's an eight-year-old in first class. Part of that first-class ticket is that you get to board before me. Understood. The problem is I notice everybody is boarding before me. On Delta, if you're a standard main cabin flyer, here are the groups that will pre-board ahead of you. Delta 1, aka first-class, Delta Diamond Medallion, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort Plus, Delta Sky Priority, Delta Cardholders, and Delta Frequent Flyer members.

I'm not singling out Delta American Airlines is just as bad with their concierge key members. So Southwest, they all are. They all have married special categories of privileged flyers, and we haven't even gotten to the regular pre-boarding yet. People in wheelchairs find no problem, but we've all heard the additional announcements as we stand amid the lowing herd way in the back. We will now begin pre-boarding for people traveling with small children, active military with an ID or an uniform, and others who need extra time or assistance. The real loophole is that last part.

Others who need extra time or assistance. It's meant for the very elderly, perhaps. But this is where you see all manner of able-bodied solo travelers and people with imaginary anxieties and phobias on board and for no good reason ahead of the rules following cattle in the back. Yes ma'am, I suffer from levable traceros syndrome related to a fear of being seated next to a rear cabin commode. I have a note from Dr. McGillicutty on Southwest with no assigned seating even if you pay extra

to be in group A, you're still watching the parade of the entitles flow into the cabin ahead of you. Half of any given flight is these pre-bored scam artists. The pre-bored message might as well just say, anyone who feels they are intrinsically better than other people may board now. Airlines, let your first class money bags in first. Fine. But don't make weed proletariat suffer the added indignity of also waiting behind all of your club members and almost pathological fakers run a tighter ship. I'm Greg Cody and that's how it was back in my day.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Well done. Right, just great. You had a breath the entire time. Thank you. Right, just great. Pre-boarding. Why don't you just pre-board? You could easily just go with the people who the entire time. Thank you. Right, just free boarding.

Please. Why don't you just pre-bord? You could easily just go with the people who need more time. It's the same reason why I don't stand in the express lane with 11 items, and why even though I'm entitled as being over 55, well over 55, I don't get a free cup of coffee at Denny's, I can afford my own coffee, I don't pay for entitlement to board early, just don't get a freak cup of coffee at Denny's. I can afford my own coffee. I don't pay for entitlement to board early. Just don't let other people board early. A middle aged guy, he looks like he could bench press me.

He fit as a fiddle, boarding first. They don't ask him why, they don't require any explanation. Doesn't have a note from Dr. McGillicetti like I do. He's just boarding early for no given reason. I have a suggestion Parents with small kids go last. No, you know what you you you you elected to have kids That's right. This is gonna take I can get behind you walk in and you guys know that with your bad to say yeah You guys all have young kids those of you have kids. I need to decide to travel with them Exactly. You know why you, you know what?

Just because you have a two year old toddler next to you, why are you entitled to board before I am? The toddler can walk, he's walking on his hind legs. It doesn't take you any longer to walk down an aisle than it does me. Why are you fondling the mayo? I don't know. He's been doing it for like hours.

I took a video like three hours ago of him doing it. He's right, though. He's like, it's Play-Doh. He's right, though. He's like, it's Play-Doh. He's right, Billy. He's right, thank you. People shouldn't get special privileges that Greg's not willing to pay for. Thank you.

He's right. Exactly, right. Billy gets me. Just to be clear, I want to see if I get you. Just to be clear. Yeah. You're fine with money bags getting in in front of you. Yep.

You're also fine. Anyone in a wheelchair? Yeah. How about, you sure? You're fine. If they're legitimately in a wheelchair. Right, they might be faking it. That would be awful. If you could have jailed.

Clicking their heels, leaving the plane. Then, you know, do the thing where you go like stand up. And if they hesitate, it's like, all right, I got you. Exactly. Military personnel. In uniform. Right. You should wear camouflage

Yeah, I should if you're off if you're not on active duty. You're not in the military uniform What are you doing? You know, I mean, I love the military don't get me wrong. It was just veterans day. You know, I am from a Military family are you yeah my dad World War two, Wild Bill. What do you mean? Well, Wild Bill do. You know, he was a chef actually in the,

really, yeah, a staff sergeant. And to the day he died made a hell of a pancake by dad. Could also make a homemade pizza before it was fashionable. He would make the dough himself. You know, nowadays you just go into, you know, buy that box of crap. It's got enough kneading. You need dough, correct?

Yeah, yeah, that's correct. Well, Bill, multifaceted man. How do you feel about the Mickey Mouse pancakes? You know what, for kids to find. Yeah, it seems a little, you know, you're eating Mickey's ear. Yeah. You know, your cutting is ear. It's a little weird.

Why do know? Maybe there was like a rough day in Normandy or whatever. Wild Bill said, you know what? I'll really get the troops smiling here. It's a Mickey paying case. That would be funny. Maybe my dad, Wild Bill, invented the Mickey Mouse shaped pancake. Chris Cody just whispered to me.

He just whispered to me. If this dies out, we could go to Stad of the Day, and I whispered back to him. If this dies out... Ha ha ha ha! Star of the Day, Star of the Day, and it's the Star of the Day. Star of the Has a Life Love. Star of the Day, Star of the Day, and it's the Star of the Day.

We've got Greg Cody with we have our waiter Handful of mayonnaise and we've got the waiter who says that he would have liked to have served What is it your father while Bill Cody's pizza at his restaurant? Yeah?

All right, daddy boy, I got you. According to Tom Downey. No, don't do it in that game. All right, I won't. I'm so sick of that game. Yeah, I get it. I get it. He's delivering.

I'm not doing it well. I am delivering a sad of the day. Deck Prescott now has 10 career, 400 plus yard passing games. All other Dallas Cowboys Cubies combined. Nine. That's great. I saw a stats to got Steph Curry has more three pointers made,

uh, than anybody on his team has just field goals. I probably should have been a stat of the day. What? We got a freini hardaway. Oh, freini? Who was a freini hardaway? I was trying to read fast. You deem is on the team. Luke Jackson, Bobby Jones, the Matrix, Sean Marion, Stugats, Zo Shax, Bush Parker, Chris Quinn, D Wade, Jason Williams, they're all right. I mean, stacked roster. This is the Dan Lebotar show with a Stugat. It's the Dan Lebotar show sweepstakes presented

You'll hang out with us for a chance to sit in on a taping on a Monday Night Football Watch party. No, a taping of the show and our Monday Night Football Watch. Wow, it just got better. It doesn't sound like you're reading at all.

This event will take place on December 11th, presented by Miller Light, but right now in the Samson voice, right now, millitimemyami.com. No purchase next necessary open to legal US resident residents, H-21 and older. He's all in a park. He's sinking.

Us residents. It's going to stay with you for a while. I would prefer complicated legacy Joe Zagaki read that as open to us residents To us residents Think I haven't been practicing I didn't realize we had a substitute complicated legacy

Joe's deck for the Toyota 441 in powerline road second nine and I might be better we might need to get them to argue with one another the two Joe's again like you bought it from the factory had quarter Toyota I want you and him to argue as complicated like is he he chose the gackies Greg Cody Is dripping mayonnaise and he's complained every segment and he wants to keep stuff. It's a it's a Show-long penalty and he wants to keep Ending the penalty, but he's got his hand in mayonnaise and the scene I just saw outside can't happen in a lot of workplaces Our grim reaper, I would say, lacks confidence in a way that is rare for grim reapers.

And our grim reaper also has been like punished for being late and somebody filed a human resource is complaining against the reaper. And so Greg Cody was threatening to stick that mayonnaise hand in the bucket. And I walked in here just hearing muttered from behind the reaper's mask, muttered in a way that was sad, pathetic, not ominous, not death. Please know, I never ask for anything to hear the reaper say it just hear the reaper whimper it. Please, please now. And now I plan to the idea and we run the risk of him actually doing it when it would be

disgusting and please don't do it. Before we get to the bucket of death though, I want to get to what is happening in Las Vegas where it appears that F1 overestimated its market and its popularity. It has been doing nothing but exploding everywhere in the world all over the United States and you get to Vegas and it seems like a calamity where everything is overpriced and everyone's complaining that it's not as popular as you think it is. Yeah, people should check out Goliath and Smeti. Goliath and I talked about this.

He was just in Vegas for the Raiders game the other night and was talking to some people who were. Talking to Aaron Rodgers, they look like. Yes, also Aaron Rodgers. Vegas locals not thrilled about this. There's been tons of disruptions, traffic disruptions, people that work at the businesses around where the track is, don't know how they're going to be able to get to work this weekend because there's going to be such a huge influx and so many influx of people and

so many streets are going to be closed down. There was an article in Gelopnik yesterday that Elizabeth Blackstock wrote where she interviewed people that were Vegas locals and tourists and Vegas who were not super thrilled about everything that was going on. And then there was an article today in the AP where there was a lot of, there's a lot of questions about the financial revenue that F1 will actually get from the race this weekend

because they anticipated they'd be able to sell a whole bunch of expensive packages to fans. They would make tons of money off of this. F1 itself is promoting this race and they spent $240 million just on the place where they built this permanent paddock for like the garage for the drivers.

So this is a really, really expensive event. They shut down the strip, they repaved things, they built a track around like actual streets in Las Vegas. But now the race is in just four days, it's Saturday. Is it selling? It's ticket prices have gone down substantially. Really? I was looking at going to this race months ago

and I looked at just the cost of getting in was in the thousands, not to mention hotels, flights, et cetera. And I was like, if I'm gonna do this for Metal Arc, I don't wanna like spend $8,000 of Dan's money. This Chris Cody just blew through the entire budget in Germany. And it's gonna be expensive. And I don't know how I'm gonna be able to get around. It looks like it's just gonna be a disaster.

And if I had just waited until this week, I probably could get a deal right now. You should check now. You should find out now. We should try and find out what is the best cheapest. Well, now I have planned the week. That's too bad. I like to plan.

Christmas, I love it. Unlike Metal Arc Dan, I have my schedule done months in advance. So this weekend it would have been something I had planned at September. That was a burn, I'm at a large. uh... done months in advance so this weekend it was would have been something i had planted some temper uh... that was a burn i'm not a lot i'm not i'm not the one who makes our schedule i'm not the one who makes our schedule like i don't know i will take it up with whoever the schedule is

i love the idea of you making the schedule getting in the weekend like i'm working i send you a message you want like no okay now i feel bad because now I feel like I actually am throwing someone under the bus that I like. Way to go Dan. So anyway. If you have been thrown under bus call, I'll explain.

So anyways, there's a lot of anxiety about how this race is gonna go. And also, it's at like 1 a.m. Eastern time Saturday. So they made it really late because they want people in Europe to be able to watch it early in the morning. But at the expense of most Americans who live on the East Coast or in the East time zone, who are going to probably be asleep.

And add on top of that the fact that the weather in Las Vegas is very cold at night. It will be very cold when the race begins. And when you have colder temperatures, the tires may not be able to heat up as quickly. The equipment may not work as well. It may take more laps for the tires to warm up in qualifying to have a flying lap where you're in full go mode

trying to go as fast as you can. And you have the friction with the tires in the track that allow you to drive faster. So it's interesting. I imagine that if you're watching it on TV, which I will be asleep, that you will not be able to notice any of these things. I hope I hope it's a good event for spectators, but if you're there, it may be a little bit of a pain in the ass. Well, it sounds like a lot of this is the cosmos cosmos during an apocalyptic time, laughing at us, that this expensive sport,

that is wildly popular all over the world and wants to be desperately popular in the United States as it is all over the world, that it and all its expense would vlog that city, would vlog Las Vegas, a place of money and, you know, and style and, ostensibly the hot thing Vegas is getting into the game in sports. Vegas has never been bigger in sports than it is right now for them to take that giant expensive event that costs a quarter of a billion dollars just to erect what their party

looks like and to have it not land correctly the way it has landed well all over the country. Even Austin and Miami have had their problems, but nothing's been this. It's never landed somewhere unpopularly. Has it? Austin is a race that I think most Formula One fans love. Miami, I think, is a little

comparable to this in that they're trying to get a certain clientele to go to these races. And that clientele has a lot of disposable income. And that is not really, like, as it's kind of borne out by this ticket fiasco, if you want to call it that, like, maybe there's not that big of a market for a race in November in Las Vegas. Maybe there aren't that many people who want to spend thousands of dollars to go to this

race, especially when it's late in the, it's the second or last race of the season. Max for Steppen won the driver's championship months ago. There's no race for the number one spot anymore. There's no stakes. He's probably going to win this race, too. He's winning every freaking race. But I think genuinely, the price is just too expensive. You're marketing this for people that maybe don't even exist.

The cost to get in is too high. Well, I was gonna ask you, because Verstappen... In microphone wasn't on because you haven't talked. Tickets are 80 bucks by the way right now. Why don't you just keep the microphone on? I don't know how that works. I don't think we trust you. Okay.

All right. Anyway. What I was gonna ask is, because Verstappen clinched the season championship so long ago, isn't that a problem for a race like Vegas. Isn't that a problem for a race like Vegas? Isn't that a problem for F1 in general because that's one thing that NASCAR does right is they have actually have a season ending championship race. Whereas in F1, every race after he clinched becomes all but meaningless, doesn't it?

Not necessarily because I think fans still want to see how the rest of the standings kind of play out, but I do think if maybe if you're a casual fan you're not going to tune in. Formula One is still rating really well on ESPN. People are still tuning in to watch it when it's on on Sundays. I think it's still one of ESPN's highest rated live sporting events on the days that it's been on because they don't have football this time of year. So it's been doing really well. Maybe there's been some of a drop off. It's hard to tell, but I don't I don't have football this time of year. So it's been doing really well. Maybe there's been some of a drop off. It's hard to tell, but I don't know. It depends, really.

I think people that really actually like the sport for the sport are still gonna watch the race. That's just now you have a race that's on the same time as the Grand Prix that's in Japan. Like it's really hard for fans on the East Coast to stay up and watch it. If you're marketing this for American fans, you missed out on an opportunity there.

Jeremy told me, Greg Cody, while it is you were complaining that your microphone is not always on. Jeremy did for me an impersonation of you if your microphone were always on. And I want you to hear what that sounds like. I mean, I'm not that bad. I'm not that bad.

That's what they're worried about. They're worried, you don't pay, you're like gurgling all show, you've been funneling, funneling down, but no one, that's the old me. Right. You know, the old me that used to cough a lot and clear his throat a lot, but now, you know, that's the thing in the past.

That's a bad stereotype. Something I'm still trying to live down. But the big dipper is gonna come back, he's gonna get over this kind of thing, he's gonna reinvent himself, because I don't go by old stereotypes. You judge me from this day forward. This moment.

This magic moment. It's all. If you had a cough, use Viva Porue. I will. Did you notice that you just sort of but you've you petered out He's at a breath with with one expiring breath Sort of farted into the microphone from your mouth did you notice that you're doing that? Let me hear that Okay, you just you ran toward the finish line. This has happened like the last six months of shows right about now

You totally you're on empty you Running on empty like Jackson Brown great song. Yeah, really more Cuban Joe's a gaki Oh My god My god Oh my god. I feel it back. I feel it back. I feel it back. Oh my god. I feel it back. Essentials and ganky. More.

Oh my god, he scared us all with his centrality.
