Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabor Tarshall with the Stugat's Podcast! Dan, I pitched an idea of South Bend Sessions a couple weeks ago. With who? Well, Jess would be hosting South Bend session. Unless you want it. Oh, that's a good one. No, I want to know. I look, man, Lucy's getting some plum assignments this week.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Jessica's got some plum assignments. Jessica left, is the only one to leave on behalf of Metal Arc, leave the country to go do something fun and exciting. Are plum's good? Well, no, Roy went to Roberto Lungo's induction. That was plum. It's plum season? It's a cold plum though.
Starting point is 00:00:50 It's ending though. Really? Yeah, it's like the end of September usually. That's peak plum. Yeah, peak plum. Oh, I love plum season. Plum tart. Put it on the pole, please, Duju at Levitage Show.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Do you love plum season? Mike, was that true? Did she have a banana bread recipe on during Mike's shirt talking? Theater of the mind, Dan. It wasn't open, but it is a tab. No, I'm getting... No, no. Let me look through the tabs.
Starting point is 00:01:18 It wasn't banana bread. Look at my tabs, bro. They're all put in the sticks. Look at my skin. The athletic. Wait, that's a good all put in my circuations. The athletic. Wait, that's a good segment. That's a good segment. That's a good segment.

Starting point is 00:01:44 That's a good segment. That's a good segment. That's a good segment. That's a good segment. That's a that segment off the ground uh... just searching through Jessica's tabs because it's much more clear than you think it is it's it's finding what steve sarkeesian is doing lucy's tabs would look the same way by the way yeah my tabs are all credentials right now trying to figure out where we're going next where are you going where you're going that you're going to color out of this weekend we haven't spoken his name in a couple of days am i want to say that you you let us say it? Go for it. Go for it. Contextually you're covered.
Starting point is 00:02:06 We're going to Colorado to see Deon Sanders. I'm very excited. It'll be fun. I've always wanted to go to Boulder. I get to go shopping today because it'll be very cold, very, very cold in the 30s. Who cares? Then from there, we're going to fly to Iowa on Saturday. We will not be watching the Iowa Wisconsin game.
Starting point is 00:02:22 That's disgusting. I don't want to look at that. Under and a half you see money. Wow, and then the Iowa women's basketball game is the next day It's going to be so so fun It is I'm so excited. It's such a huge moment for like women's sports and collegiate athletics right now Where just a few months ago in Nebraska a sold 98,000 plus tickets for a volleyball game I was sold over 50,000 tickets for a women's basketball game in the football stadium. It is like an awesome time. And I get to see Caitlin Clark mental I ever want to do.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Are you going to sidle up to the Buffalo or you said both of the mascots are there. The scary tree, the Jessica hates the scary tree. You don't want to be anywhere near that right? I have beef with Stanford and the tree in the band. I will be keeping my distance. But the beef, you also have beef with beef or not with not beef with the beef. You don't have any beef with the buffalo. Okay, you lost me there for a little bit, but I'm back now. I have no beef with the buffalo.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Live mascots, they don't necessarily, like, it doesn't sit right with me. I do feel gross, but I appreciate it a lot. And Ralphie running out as one of the best traditions in college, but also I'm so excited to get to see that. Billy, welcome back. You were dealing with God bless football, calamities, or I was. I heard you guys were dealing with COVID.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Is that resolved? Yeah, well, Mike said it was resolved a few years ago, but debate me, bro. And I think he was called lame. I think Mike and said several times that a debate would be lame but i would actually want to watch that debate like i would tell a vise that debate if i were maccafe i whoever it is that there in roger's wants to uh...
Starting point is 00:03:56 uh... wants to live and there's nothing interesting you don't know what it is okay we're back here all it is it's the same thing that's been happening in this country for years. There's a bunch of white guys that don't want to give you the pleasure of admitting that they were wrong. And so they'll do ridiculous things. They'll tie themselves into pretzels.
Starting point is 00:04:13 And like I said in that tweet that you got for free, the foot job healing crystals and blast, they're killies with dolphins, but the fact that we're rushing a vaccine is too much for them to wrap their heads around. It's just, why would I want to hear Aaron Rodgers and RFK debate with Travis Kelsey and Tony Fauci? It's like, what's a logic there? What's the entertainment value there? Nothing. It's just, it's a weekly test on, I'm not going to give you what you want.
Starting point is 00:04:45 That's what Aaron Rodgers is doing. And that's always been the play. I won't give you the satisfaction here, and I'll double down and triple down, and I'll find something that confirms my beliefs. What Aaron Rodgers is doing is maybe unique to the position of quarterback in the NFL, but it is not at all unique to every other meathead that listens to Joe Rogan. It is what's going on in this country. And people will turn to whatever podcast, whatever health expert, whoever can confirm their
Starting point is 00:05:15 opinions because we live in a modern age where you don't actually have to accept what mainstream is. That's what the whole thing is against the media. No, that's not the truth. I'll find my truth. People know that there is some subsect of the internet that'll just confirm their beliefs, so they don't actually have to conform to basic logic.
Starting point is 00:05:33 That's all that's happening. I'd like to kick myself out. If we were out of this and I brought it back, this one's on me, I'm sorry. Go ahead, God bless football. Wherever it is, you get your podcast, Levitade and Friends Network. He's working very hard on it their friends with Austin Eccler
Starting point is 00:05:46 It's hard to chase down stu got all manner Think about the Vax Love to have his opinion there if you want to throw that on God bless football. I get all my medical advice from Stu got all players. Oh Eccler What is a stu got's oh it was Eccler. I thought it was stu gots too. I wanted his thoughts on the Vax I was hoping that we would get that on God bless football why don't you have him debate someone in the back and think Jake Owens and Aaron Rogers there's no S at the end sorry about that that's
Starting point is 00:06:15 my move that's usually what I get fine for that one would happen to me every time right there I like that S right where you have I don't believe you'll pay you're right you're right it. I don't believe you'll pay. You're right. She doesn't have cash, right? No one's actually paying. I think I do have $5 from Winwillo one, the fine bucket plus instant death less. I will just put that back in the fine bucket. Mike, you say no one's paying.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I continue to pay. Every time I continue to pay. You have cash. No one has cash anymore, I've noticed. Well, what are we gonna do about that? Because I do have to- I don't know if I'm gonna change our ways. We should have like a peer to peer pay app.
Starting point is 00:06:49 There was actually talks at one point, should I say this, but that doesn't matter. There was actually talks at one point. Sensor the company. No, I once mentioned companies, but we had one point where we were going to, we're gonna have a crypto sponsor, and you were going to have to sign up for a thing
Starting point is 00:07:04 and pay in crypto, and then get paid out in crypto. And then there was another time that it was like a cashless app that was gonna sponsor these things. And I don't know what happened to those. Okay. We might want to get on that because we don't have a very good finding system, and it doesn't mean...
Starting point is 00:07:19 I'll excuse myself again. Okay, yes, please. Thank you. You can leave a couple of different times. That's fine. Yes, sir. While. Thank you. You can leave a couple of different times. That's fine. While we're on the topic of my tabs, a mean's not actually afraid of my dog or else I wouldn't bring her into work. I got called so many mean names on the internet last week and it's all your fault, Lebitar.
Starting point is 00:07:35 No, it's not my fault. I'm siding with you. I think dogs should be here. It's not my fault that a mean is afraid of dogs and now the internet is coming after you because he wants the high that he's afraid of dogs He doesn't want anybody to know because he's a tough guy Because he's playing a bit now everyone needs to know and everyone's coming after you because he won't stay in character And I don't know which state of bring Willow in to do her punishment because I want to make sure no one is here
Starting point is 00:07:57 That's afraid of dogs even though I know no one's actually brought more dogs here not fewer dogs here And I'd like to look at Lucy's tabs because I don't, I imagine that she is following all things college sports, but this one got my attention this weekend, Mike, because Bill Self finally survived everything that needed to be survived from those silly FBI wiretaps. All the documentaries being done on that whole investigation of college coaches, are they giving people money? The FBI investigation was a total sham, but what I loved about him getting exonerated yesterday is the headline actually exists Avoids all big penalties, comma, 2017, 2018, erased. They erased a year, a final four year, of Bill Self that you can't actually erase.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And I love the big deal. I love, no, but I love the idea that he avoids all big penalties. One of them is you got erased, but that's not a big deal. A year of your program just simply gets erased and no one actually cares because it's not a real penalty. We all saw it happen in the final four and you can't actually take anything away. Which final four got taken away because it did beat Miami in the lead eight once.
Starting point is 00:09:18 It was the 2017-2018 season that got taken away. But the thing that made me want to ask you guys is people who care about college sports and see it changing sort of rulelessly. What are going to be the penalties for anybody cheating now when we have bags of cash at Tennessee, like fast food bags of cash? I mean, the Tennessee punishment that they recently got
Starting point is 00:09:40 would show you that there's no real teeth to these punishments anymore. They're just, they're just gonna try to find, the postseason, a postseason band doesn't mean anything in college football anymore because most of the players that are going to the NFL opt out of playing in a game that isn't the college football playoff anyways.
Starting point is 00:09:58 So that's why the NCAA hired a former politician to come back here because they're trying to get the government to do the work because they're in a different spot. Or are you can do what Arizona State did, which is at the beginning of the season, they were like, oh, I don't know for a bold team. We're gonna self-impose a pose season band here. But this is what I wanna ask you guys,
Starting point is 00:10:14 because to me, this part of the changing of the system, like when you're talking about this many dollars, you have rules can't keep up and we're now learning. Are we not with the greed of these things? That the people who are enforcing and protecting this stuff are fools. Like they're fools. They're running on the empire that's a billion dollar empire
Starting point is 00:10:32 with mall cop security. They're chasing people around. And now that the floodgates have opened and Deon can show up with 53 players and it's not about any of the stuff that used to be about. Hold on, Dan. How do you enforce any of it?
Starting point is 00:10:45 Paul Blart enforcing NCAA rules is a great idea. Chasing down coaches on a segue, down a mall concourse. But isn't that what it is? You're round to something. Yes, because the only place for NCAA vacated losses and all that stuff shows up is on Wikipedia pages. It's so stupid. Stop editing Wikipedia pages and making it so that when I look at like a team's record,
Starting point is 00:11:07 it's all in gray because they vacated a loss. They will, one the game or they lost the game. There's no in between. It doesn't count. It doesn't matter. You're crazy, Bush is high as my back. Taking scholarships away does matter. In football, there are creative ways around it.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Basketball really hurts you If you take scholarships away. So I do think that the NCAA will keep power or whatever governing body it has. I think they're kind of powerless when it comes to the machine of big time college football. And now it's to the point that if the NCAA or any governing body tries to do too much in terms of punishment for an offending party,
Starting point is 00:11:43 that's mutually assured destruction. Then they'll just get a bunch of their friends to say, if this is what you're gonna do, if this is a precedent that you're gonna set forth, we don't need the NCAA anymore. So the NCAA does kinda have to tread lightly as this money train keeps a hummin' because they wanna squeeze every last dime out of it,
Starting point is 00:11:59 but they'll still have whatever governing body still around, still gotta have plenty of power when it comes to the other sports. I mean, it's already sort of happened. They reversed their test walker ruling where he couldn't transfer and play everybody lost their mind. And then they switched course and was like, well, it's UNC's fault that we didn't let him play, but don't worry.
Starting point is 00:12:14 It's good. Now, they did the same thing with the Iowa and Iowa state gambling investigation. They reduced the penalties on that. The NCAA doesn't have power anymore. That's just like the stone-called truth of it, they will find a team to make an example out of, and I assume it's probably going to be Miami, and I don't say that in a mean joky way, it probably will be. Don't you agree?
Starting point is 00:12:33 I agree. I find it funny that you're governing something that has no governance. Like you're watching on Saturday something that can have no governance. Yeah, but if Miami is the example, they'll find a way to rally around the NCAA. Don Lebatard! I got somebody here making fun of me. How old do you have to be to reference Cheki Green? Man, I went comedically there with the funny name of a comedian. That's on you for not knowing who Cheki Green is.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Oh, you don't know who Cheki Green is. No, you don't have to know who Cheki Green is is but i i get no no i don't like my allies the bush belt stugatz um i have the soul of a bush belt comedian i should be in the cat skills in nineteen forty five opening for shakie green that's why i was destined to be this is the down lebertar show with this to got It is too bad! It's Thursday, thunder! We went two for three last week. That's a loss because we need the parlay, every single leg of it to cash. However, in our defense, we had no idea Dick Buttkus would die hours after our initial
Starting point is 00:13:40 pick of Commander's Moneyline. We did not see that one coming. Had we had that information available to us. Whoa, don't be that indelicate. We would have picked Bear's Money Line. Okay. I have a question. I'm a novice to Thursday. I'm not a novice, but I'm out of practice
Starting point is 00:13:55 on Thursday Thunder. This is different than against this friend. Totally different. Yeah, it's a very different, but in a similar way, it is also brought to you by Draftking Sports. Wow, that's right, yeah. But that's where the similarities end. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:10 By the way, use code Dan when you sign up on Draftking Sports Book App or a limited time offer for new customers. Just, I'm gonna kick it over to you for the first leg of our Thursday Thunder Parlay. Dan, there are potentials for severe thunderstorms. Wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour tonight in Kansas City. So we're going with the Broncos plus 11 on Thursday night.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Oh, no, yeah. No, that's disgusting. That nasty, gay, man. You are dirty. All of you are dirty. What does the matter with you? No one bets against Kansas City? I don't think you can say that. That's a sparerjing. And we're gonna take our second leg of the parlay here with something that
Starting point is 00:14:54 Lucy has been hammering all season. That's the under of every Iowa game. Iowa was constant big Big 10 West matchup a lot on the line in this one. That's 34 and a half points. We're taking the young. Oh, no. 34 and a half. 30. You want to get some closer? Oh, 30 for the winner of this game
Starting point is 00:15:12 will most likely play in the big 10 championship. Are you undefeated taking unders? Yes. Wait, no, I didn't take the Western Michigan under and that the overhead on that one, it was always. I will score so many points, something wasn't right. And finally, with the last leg of our nasty dirty, dirty, dirty, dirtbag parlay.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It's, this is a dirtbag parlay, it is. This is the dirtiest, nastiest part of it all. It is, not care. Carolina and Miami are playing on Saturday night and we're going Miami hurricanes Money line what live dog, they know what my Dog, they don't have confidence in that band on whatsoever That's Broncos plus 11 Iowa was constant under 34 and a half points. That's dirt
Starting point is 00:16:00 Miami arcades funny lines Saturday night North Carolina. Oh, you know what? I think that this is what we need to start doing for draft Kings We need to have fart games. We have to have because this isn't a fart different sound effect I can find one this isn't a fart game This is Kansas City's playing but we need to start a fart game segment where we're taking bets on a game Nobody actually wants to watch and then a segment like this where you guys are betting things no one wants to bet. No one wants to have the Broncos tonight. Nobody.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Far game is just when I talk about Iowa every week. That's correct. Well you're already making that bet, but that's different than this game. This is not against the spread. This what we do here is dirty. Far game can be in against the spread. And to my point about Dick Buttcus, it was a compliment to the rally that the Chicago Bears did as a team and as an organization to break that losing streak in his memory
Starting point is 00:16:51 on Thursday night. We couldn't have known. We could have been a fart game, but wasn't. We couldn't have known. That's right. Press in peace to a legend. I still think it was a fart game, but they scored a lot of points in a fart game. Roy, you have smiled a couple of times today and unusual times. And I don't
Starting point is 00:17:05 know what is going on with you right now, but you mentioned something about Stephen A. Smith. And then you delivered to me that Stephen A. Smith had said something and you did it with a smile on your face, but you haven't told me what it is that he said and what the details are of why this makes you so happy. Well, as podcasts, he cryptically went out to a member of the media, called him a no good fat bastard. And I think it's pretty easy, the guess who he was talking about. I've tracked down the sound of this.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Of him calling on someone or me a no good bad fellow. Right now you're the leading candidate, the honest. Yeah, one or two. I haven't listened to the sound. What did you do now, Dan? I don't know what you have to be. What is this game? Do the two of you call each other on the weekend and say this is going to be the week that we're going to be fighting against each other. In the case we speak, yeah, like an engagement exchange program.
Starting point is 00:17:55 He has. It's on and off. I mean, I feel like you both kind of like this back and forth. He, well, I think it's funny. I do, I do like the back and forth, but it's never gotten so personal that he would call me a no good fat bastard. Like that's not, that's not how we argue. We're arguing about things. It's not insincere. We disagree about a number of different things. Are you denying that you're no good fat bastard? I feel like I'm an occasionally good fat bastard, but I think he would call me a sanctimonious. The worst that he's gotten in the name calling with me is calling me sanctimonious. He did that to my face to his credit. He wasn't... No, he's got bars, but he'd never really...
Starting point is 00:18:30 omits names, which is... This is so cryptic. He never really does. Wait a minute, what's the part you're smiling about Roy? Is it that he's talking about me? That he's ripping me? Is it that the rip is very good? Well, I have the audio here. Let's find out for ourselves, what do you might be? Off your phone, you're gonna do this off your phone. This is the Stephen A Smith show
Starting point is 00:18:51 that he is doing on YouTube apart from ESPN. He's not doing this on first take, correct? No, this is not first take. God, that'd be something. That would help our engagement if he was indeed talking about you, but here we are. No good fat pastor, but is the internet trying to figure out who it is?
Starting point is 00:19:04 Or do they know what's me? That that this is there's some people that have peace together that this is not you but let's listen together there's a lot of people out there that want me to address other names there's one particular person who will remain names and i will not deny it i think he's a fat, no good bastard who I despise to the core. That is not more cellist Wale. I'm talking about it. I'm talking about it.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Any hard to figure out who the hell I'm talking about. Is it me? I'm where I'm at. That particular individual is where he's at. Okay, this could still not leave it at that. And no, I'm not talking about more cellist Wale again. Oh, that's a very good one and no, I'm not talking about myself. It's while again No, I'm not talking about my former colleague on first take no, not talking about them They fat bastards
Starting point is 00:19:59 So We should not number black folks on well, that's definitely oh Wait a minute that's not me It's not Dan is not Dan. Okay. It's not Congrats all right well is touching go there even sewing seeds of the devil We were not sure but I mean that the very end I kind of piece together that it wasn't and so I have no idea who he's talking about though Like none Lost on me Like none. Lost on me. Maybe I'm not an alpha male enough to know exactly who he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Maybe I'm just too beta to figure that one out. Yeah, a couple of beta males. I don't actually know. Now that you've put this in front of me, I really, and you've cornered me on this because I don't know what to do with the following. I do know so much backstory on what it is that's happening right there, but because he's leaving the person nameless, I don't think Stephen A. Smith would want me to reveal much of anything that I know there
Starting point is 00:21:19 about because he wouldn't want to bring more attention to something that was really poisonous. Yeah, I mean, he's never shed away from actually saying someone's name, so. But I don't think that's gonna be really effective. I think people piece together. But I tried to broker peace there. Why? Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:21:37 Because if he's indeed talking about the person that we think he's talking about, but again, our beta minds maybe can't piece it together. I mean, my P. Windhawaiian was like one of the last defenders of this person. about the person that we think he's talking about. But again, our beta minds maybe can't piece it together. It might be Win Hoi. And what's like one of the last defenders of this person. D last the first person probably. Yeah, and I am still confused. Win Hoi definitely caught a straight.
Starting point is 00:21:55 That's a windy. Yeah. I'm just a straight, caught a straight. Warmar Sell is wily too. It's not Marseille's wily. Well, who's calling him a fat? Well, I think he's emphasizing the fat. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I, this stops the just don't name names. Yeah. Yeah. There's like a sub-second meeting. I thought it was me. Yeah, well, there's a, there's a whole bunch of media people right now that are hoping to God that you don't say their names for the joke. But I thought it was me.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Hooray, Rado. Is out there listening to every hour of this podcast hoping that because you mentioned witty that he's not next do not do that to Ray rato he is a gem of a man don't do it to dancili or you or Len Pascarelli I think people would be interested in a lot of the backstory here because I have I've been confused at a number of times over the last couple of years at what has happened to some people in my life,
Starting point is 00:22:54 where the current of the day that has separated friends and family because they are so far apart ideologically and didn't even know how far apart far apart ideologically and didn't even know how far apart they were ideologically until the country came apart over the last couple of years. But the person he's talking about, I would have at one time considered a friend and I don't know what happened to him.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Like I don't know, but I tried to at one point broker piece between these two people and Stephen A Smith was so insulted by the idea of this other person that he said to me, flatly, I will never speak to that person and I will never speak about that person in public. I will never acknowledge who that person is because it's one of the first times and only times I've seen Stephen A Smith so properly indignant about who a person was that he would not abide even a conversation about this person would like to be in your good graces again. This person would like to not have offended you this way and he would not even tolerate a conversation with me trying to broker peace between the two.
Starting point is 00:24:05 If I may, like the only time that like I really get mad because I've had fun on today's show too, like the banter is the banter, but the only time that I've really ever gotten mad at someone for what they've said about you was when, look guys, I think you're talking about Jason Whitlock. I'm just throwing it out there. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Yeah. It might be Rato. So. Well lead dog right now, Jason Whitlock, I'm just throwing it out there. Yeah, I think so. It might be Rato. Well, lead dog right now, Jason Whitlock is, for years, I was telling Dan, why are you keeping up for this guy? This person sucks. Hey, suck. And I said that for years as what made them similar,
Starting point is 00:24:42 started changing and Jason just started going totally against some of the ideological take city it had. He was a really good guest on our show for a while and you would always defend him and you're confused by what happened. Leaving me super confused by what happened and he's constantly taking cheap shots. To the point that like there isn't anyone in this media industry
Starting point is 00:25:06 where I would say it's on site for, but him. Like I really dislike the man. You would fight him on site? It would be a problem. It would be a problem. It would be uncomfortable. On site, we sound ridiculous as they show. That sounds threatening.
Starting point is 00:25:21 The accusation to me in Roy specifically where that we were beta. So the only way that I can show someone like Jason Wittlock that I'm alpha is by fighting him on site yes on site on site yes I don't want to talk about this anymore right right that would make me an alpha Roy you want more of this absolutely you want more of this damn right all right maybe we should I just don't want to be called the beta I've got some good secrets here I've got some good juicy stuff the internet would eat up here Let's you and me Roy will do a 12-minute podcast called I listen to Tar Heel podcasts and talk to Taylor
Starting point is 00:25:52 And also I've secret info about Jason Whitlock that will put on Mike Ryan's Twitter feed subscription only You don't get that stuff for free. I'll give it. I'm gonna hide and put I'm gonna do what Stephen I Smith is doing on his show where he goes off ESPN off site and talks about people to increase his numbers. I'm gonna increase Mike Ryan subscription numbers by allowing Roy to interview me about Jason Whitlock on Mike Ryan's Twitter subscription. This is gonna net me at least 36 dollars. Oh wow profit. Don lebertard. Let's go to 80 Bo Wow, I think Billy typed an eight instead of a B five's a clearest day
Starting point is 00:26:36 Stugatz number eight It's Chris Conner on the line CC. This. This is the Don Limita show with this two-gats. Mike, before we head out to Hollywood, because some of the show is going to try, attempt to do some show from Hollywood in the next couple of weeks, because we've got some meetings out there to take as part of other metal-lark business. And so the show is going to be a little bit fractured over the next couple of weeks
Starting point is 00:27:06 as Mike becomes a Hollywood producer, trying to make big deals over there with all of the players. And the show here... All of them. All at once, all at once. All at once. That's what he's trying to do. I tried to get a meeting with Mike
Starting point is 00:27:20 and he told me I'm all booked up. I tried... It's got all the players. I said to Mike, hey, would you like one day to go to lunch? And he's like, my schedule's getting all full. I don't have any time. I don't have any time. You guys think he's joking. He's not joking.
Starting point is 00:27:34 His schedule is filled up. I don't think any of us think he's joking. I have lunch with the director, John Wick. I can't do lunch with you. OK. Do lunch with you every day. He's making big moves or trying to make big moves. One of them is the I listened to Tar Heel podcast
Starting point is 00:27:48 and talk to Taylor, new podcast that is coming out when. When is that coming out? Today's post game show. Okay, so that is UM, that's a UM, look man, there are a lot of podcasts that are regionally specific to programs. Nobody's gonna cover the University of Miami better than you are on football.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah, but I'm worried about the shape that this is taken because we've empowered Taylor, who played for the Tar Heels, is very plugged in over there to produce this segment. And I think I'm just walking into yet another troll. Okay, you might be, but regardless, that's going to be on, that's gonna be today's post game.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Jessica and Lucy also have a college football segment that still doesn't have a name. Where's that going to be? Yeah, foot girl. No. Friday probably. Okay, that's going to be Friday and me and Roy are going to do a podcast where we spill Jason Whitlock's secrets, but that's only to be found on Mike Ryan's Twitter subscription
Starting point is 00:28:39 feed. That's right. Okay. I'm glad we covered all of that. Yeah, but I do have a meeting later today with a 24 or so. Wow. Maybe not today. Okay. I'm glad we covered all of that. Yeah, but I do have a meeting later today with a 24 so Maybe not today. Okay, but the next The next couple of weeks are gonna be they're gonna be very healthy for alpha Before we get to anything else though. I do wanted to put I did want to put in front of the group because we got to get to polls
Starting point is 00:29:00 Billy's gonna get to the polls in a second And we got to talk about what Billy's doing on god bless football because it's a lot of work and he is getting big names over there and they are covering football very well and there's some sound i want to play from austin ecler in a second but before i do all of that i just want to put in front of the group something that i was shocked by which was lucy who seems at her core a decent and kind person that's so sure anymore She came in today and I thought she would have some remorse about burying her former roommate Emily who she hates And she lived with for two years
Starting point is 00:29:34 But she got so much positive feedback from other people who also hate Emily her former college roommate that Lucy said something that I didn't think would come out of her mouth, which was, and this is a level of hatred that goes even beyond sports hate and the way people feel about rivals, I'm rooting for bad things to happen to her. I think I said I hope she's doing bad. Oh, you know what? You did say that. I miss quoted you. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:30:02 An important correction. I'm sorry. And I do hope she's doing bad. I want to make that very clear. But they're pretty close. Yeah, they'm sorry and I do hope she's doing bad I want to make that very clear but they're pretty close yeah they're pretty close I hope she's doing bad Jessica like that's at level of hatred Jessica that I didn't think that existed inside of Lucy I thought that only existed for I was offensive coordinator I didn't know it existed for other people too I know he's doing bad. I don't have to hope for it Put it on the pole, please, Jude.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Have you ever hated somebody with such hatred that you hope they're doing bad? Didn't you describe her as like a nice feeling machine or something earlier? Well, I'm surprised. Maybe that's why I'm surprised. No, I think that's an occasionally good fat bastard. That was about Lucy, right?
Starting point is 00:30:41 Occasionally, yeah. I see the good in people as well, even in fat bastards. I love for you to meet Emily that will go away so fast. She is the worst. Samson works for us. Oh yeah. I see the good and people. I try to see the good and people. It's important. Oh man, you need to be a realist man. Oh Jesus Christ. I just I don't generally want bad things to happen if you want. Well, that's nice. Any kind of you ask, well, they ask me the other day. Do you hate anybody? I'm like, hate is awfully strong. Like it's say that maybe I'm repressed, maybe I'm too repressed to feel hate to hate someone is to hope that they're doing bad. I don't hope anybody's
Starting point is 00:31:20 doing bad. I felt bad for Savahm who'ssein when he was walking through the gallows to his death. That was a weird one, yeah. Yeah, that was a weird show. That was a whole show, Lisa. There's no pretending that one back. To just identify with the humanity of someone walking to their gallows. That answer's the ass, correct.
Starting point is 00:31:35 We did not need to make Savam Hussein the avatar for that. Well, agreed, but anybody walking to their death is going to take that back, Jack. Right now, of course. I didn't feel bad for him at all of course If I he deserved it. Yes agreed I think You watch a pole results the bill you got And just know that the polls brought you by dollar shave club epic razors epicly affordable find them in stores or online

Do the veins in Brent Venable's neck have muscles from all the rage? 95.6% of the audience said yes. Matthew McConaughey, cool or crazy? 55.6% of the audience said cool.

Have kids, yes or no? 55% of the audience said no. It needs to be said more. Oh, Jess, you're gonna like this one. Have kids, yes or no. 55% of the audience said no. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:32:50 That's low. That would think, yeah. When I voted, it was like 88% no. Really? Including my vote. If I'm right, I just is backed out of way. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Oh my God. $5. He says it's not contagious, don't worry. $5. He treated it with beer Is Greg Papa Vitch full of shit in the best possible way? 86.7% of the audience said yes when you have a chance to shout out the rooster do you have to take it? 81.8% of the audience said yes.

Starting point is 00:33:36 Do you love plum season? 59% of the audience said no. They not. What? Oh, man. Have you ever hated someone so much that you hope they are doing bad? Wait a minute, that was just now. That's never as long.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Up to the minute, Dan. How do you want to vote on this so I can get the results? I would say no, I've never hated someone like that. OK, so say no. Wow, two votes never happened before. 50, 50. We've never one of them. Well, we haven't sent them out.
Starting point is 00:34:11 She hates Emily that way. We have not sent it out to the universe yet. Before we get out of here because we have not talked about this enough at any point during this season and in speaking to what Lucy was saying that women sports is having a moment because you heard her right. If you unaware of that story 90,000 plus people filled a football stadium to watch a women's volleyball game And one of the coolest things to happen in sports in the last couple of months But the WNBA is playing its final round and Before the season it seems like this has been pretty predictable. These were the two teams that were supposed to be there.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Everybody thought that they were overwhelming. Neither one of them lost very much during the season. And now the aces are up to O on the Liberty. And this is not what you want with your finals games because this is what's happening in baseball now with the sweeps. Last night's game, 30 point blowout, not not close and now everybody is assuming after two home games that is a four-gone conclusion in the double uh... w n b a we do this all the time at two o is it also true i thought this was supposed to be a competitive series throughout that these are two superpowers that are going to play against each other and that the games would be close
Starting point is 00:35:20 and they would be dramatic and that we aren't going to have just a reigning champion become a champion again and defend their crown easily. Well, they played a lot during the regular season and other games were close but it wasn't like the Aces won every game or the Liberty won every game. Like, I actually thought like I'd give the edge to the Liberty going into the playoffs but then they weren't shooting as well in the early rounds and the Aces have just been like just incredibly overwhelming and like last night like in the early rounds, and the aces have just been like, just incredibly overwhelming. And last night, in the first quarter,
Starting point is 00:35:48 I had FIU on one screen, and the aces on the other screen, and FIU in the Liberty just getting blown out in the first quarter while the aces, and the U-TEP miners were like, foot on the gas. So it was definitely a bigger blowout than I think anyone was wasn't even expecting. But I wouldn't say like necessarily it's a foregone conclusion the Aces are going to
Starting point is 00:36:10 win because now they have to play in New York and go back to the East Coast and the liberty, they just need to have a game where they can put it all together. Like they need to be able to stop the Aces offense but they also just need one of their players to go on a run like multiple Aces players have been able to do. I need New York to win this one because pro sports has come far too easy for Las Vegas. They need to suffer way more than they have so far. And they have the Raiders and we can count on them, but Knights and Aces have been way too much of a walk in the park for them.
Starting point is 00:36:41 The Knights does make me wonder as we enter this start of this NHL season because so much was happening in sports at the end of last season with the Florida teams that I do wonder if people understand how amazing that night's story is and how quickly that team has gotten that good where they took one of the, they took the most positive hockey story we've ever had in this town and they squashed it under their skate in five games, made it look awfully easy because they've built something in Vegas that is totally overwhelming. Like that's one of the things that they have that is championship worthy
Starting point is 00:37:16 and the aces are defending champions. Like they've been a good deal better than everybody else in a way that's obvious. It's pretty funny because the Goat Golden Knights owner before they even played a game predicted that they would win the Stanley Cup in six years. And that's exactly what happened. But obviously they didn't expect to make the Stanley Cup fun when the first year when they lost to the capables, but when it ended in six years, that's a feat. And they're going to stick around because they were supposed to be in cap hell, but they actually kept a lot of pieces surprisingly, including their goalie that was all world.
Starting point is 00:37:46 That was shocking. Yeah, all world. He was like a third string goalie in San Jose before they acquired him. So they're going to be around for a while unfortunately because they annoy a lot of people in hockey. Oh, but Vegas is about to explode. The sports leagues were always afraid to go there because of the formula one going there too. And the race starts at 1 a.m. Eastern. Can we just make something convenient for us or two. And the race starts at 1 a.m. Eastern. Can we just make something convenient for us poor East Coasters one time?
