You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshou with the Stugat's Podcast. Everyone's a little lightheaded around here. Stugat's just Duke, a national football champion for many years as a competitor to the big names in sports because he's a little, is it tripped the fan? Like what got you in order, what got you this holiday break? It's hard to come back to work. I think a lot of people struggle with the malaise and with things slowing down.

Is your daughters at the top of the list or is it general sloth that's at the top of your list? I would say gummies, number one, daughters, number two. That's what got me. Gummies for what? Ten days of gummies. Yeah, ten days of multiple gummies. Yes. Okay. And so you're down Trotten, you're having some difficulties getting back to work. Is this, do you guys think this is happening all over the country today? Where, because a lot of people do have to work during the last week, not everyone gets the sloth.

Not everyone does it. Historically, our show's always been off this week as well. We've always taken two weeks. It was funny me complaining to my wife about that. I was like, no, usually have two, I feel like, and she's like, you're complaining. You feel like, you're like, you're generally, now that we're in control of it, we're making ourselves work more

than we used to when we were working with a partner in the ESPN. Because we always, CFP, we'll talk about the national championship. Yeah, we just skip that one. I'm playing with her off today too. Yeah, let's just get back. I'm also wondering, are we gonna honor Dr. King or are we not? Like, because that's coming up. I am regardless.

I'm putting my foot down. Thank you. How about Columbus? I mean, that was a nice, nice. No, no, no, no. That was like a whole thing. And it's indigenous peoples stay here. Yeah.

But I actually, it was more difficult for me yesterday, the day before when you know that this is your last day of vacation. There was a sadness in waking up yesterday. Today I had kind of just all me yesterday, the day before, when you know that this is your last day of vacation, there was a sadness in waking up yesterday. Today I had kind of just all day yesterday, got myself ready for today. So today I was fine. It was yesterday morning waking up being like, it's all over today's Sunday. Can you imagine how my daughter a little bit tighter yesterday was also Monday. But it was our Sunday.

Yeah. Monday that felt like a Sunday. Yeah. Can you imagine Chris like a Sunday. It did. Yeah. Can you imagine, Chris Cody, as you talk about the general entitlement that is you at work? Can you imagine how your wife feels about the idea of, and now imagine a job you actually hate doing, which is 80% of the people listening to this, a job you hate going to every day. Imagine what vacation, coming off a vacation feels like on that day.

Yeah, that must suck. I imagine your wife doesn't even understand. So wait, you're going to dress the same way you've been dressed every day around here around the house in your dirty sweats and your baseball cap. And you're going to now go to work where you give sports opinions and you're going to complain about coming off of vacation to have to go to work. I was productive over the break. I repainted a wall. By the way, painters tape scam. Wait, one wall? What? Well, I just had to like touch up,

little touch up work. You know, like, wife gave me a few things. Like, hey, could you do this this week? This, this, that and the other? Little dab here, little dab here. Who works with a wall? From boys? Yeah, it was because you got a-

You got a Mr. Cleaner Racer thing. Yeah, that's a magic eraser. Game, trainer. But I threw down some painters tape. And I'm like, all right, let's get crazy here, the tapes there, nothing bad could happen. I whipped that tape off afterwards, paint everywhere. Just, and I get it, Billy's gonna do,

oh, as you made a mistake, but hey, painters tape, be better. Tape. You're having trouble with the word tape. Well, yes, painters tape. I've done nothing but eat turkey and candy and gummies for the last 10 days. It does hard, you've said painters tape incorrectly four times. I think I said it incorrectly once. No, no, no, no, definitely not once you put them in Painter's taint

Well, yeah, okay What's that Chris? Please go on between the asshole and the balls? Yeah sweatpants right in the middle there painters taint Is what you had. Also called the Gooch. Put it on the pole. He's the taint also called the Gooch. It is. Got a skeet of verse tag on mine. What? It's almost like you can unzip me from there. Can we get the Kirby smart sound please? I'd like this show to be slightly smarter than that. That was Kirby Dumbly we just did. It's's hear it. It's not your weiner. It is.

No, no, no, no. There it is. It's in between the bottle. I know. The cleaner's on the front end of the balls. Maybe at least for me. It gets even less subtle subtle. Couple of weiner's.

Got it out. That's two. Okay, excellent. Let's get to the Kirby smart sound. Sorry. Maybe I'm wrong here. Maybe this will be a bad sound bite. But people need to see what happened

tonight and they need to fix this. It needs to be fixed. It's very unfortunate that they who has a good football team and a good football program are in the position they're in. And everybody can say it's their fault and it's still their own problem. All right. And everybody can say that we had our guys and they didn't have their guys. I can listen to all that. But college football has got to decide what they want. And I know things are changing and I think things are going to change next year. And you know what? There's going to still be bowl games outside of those. People got to decide what they want and what they really want to get out of it. Because it's really unfortunate

for those kids on that sideline that they had to play in that game that didn't have their full arsenal. And it affected the game 100%. But he didn't have his full arsenal. Like, what are we talking about? How many players was Georgia missing? Look at the kids. It's not as if it's you 27. Can you guys please just isolate for me the sound at the beginning of that? Because I want to point out to the audience how absurdly funny all of this is.

Maybe I'm wrong here, maybe this will be a bad sound bite, but people need to see what happened tonight and they need to fix this. Okay, just get the second part of that sentence and isolated for me because I'm telling you, it's someone that is coming out of a corn field after having seen something horrific and it's involved aliens and there was something that he was not meant to see. His general tone, Kirby smarts general tone here, is of a man who has seen something that was not meant to be seen to God's that others shouldn't have seen.

It shouldn't have been seen publicly. But he saw it. He is embarrassed on behalf of FSU. He knows how hard it is to go undefeated in that sport. And what's amazing about this entire story is that Kirby smart still has the best team. Kirby smart would be favored against everybody else. Kirby smart has lost one time in two years, in three years. He has lost one time. He, to the degree you can kind of dominated Sabin

over the last couple of years and Randabbo out of the top place like Randabbo out of there. You can no longer exist here. Go back to the ACC. We're playing big business giant football here. And he beats FSU. One of the greatest seasons we've ever seen FSU have and a good FSU team injured or not injured, kind of needed their quarterback. He's important. Beat him by 60 and then says after the game in a tone that made me scared about what he had seen,

delivers this way, this seriousness. Maybe I'm wrong here and maybe this will be a bad sound bite, this seriousness. Maybe I'm wrong here and maybe this will be a bad sound bite. But people need to see what happened tonight and they need to fix this. It needs to be fixed. People need to see what happened tonight. He's so haunted. Go back and tell people, it's like from an 80s movie

about race. He's right, go, go, so man. People, no, not so man, maybe, no, I just... People need to know what happened here Remember remember in the Eagles game a few years ago where the gate fell and a bunch of people fell onto the field That's what he acted like happened in that is like killers of the flower moon like people need to know what happened here We can't have that happen again. This is a tale of American history that needs to be told this 60 burger that we threw up on FSU he's right by the way on FSU. He's right, by the way, with our backups.

He's totally right. He's totally right that we all know the dilution we work in sports. But if you're looking for foresight from the people that put together these bull games, you're going to drive yourself crazy. They're not going to have it. The only time the only thing that'll ever force action is a serious, non-pandemic dip in ratings. There's the only thing that's going to force their hands because as long as it rates the

way that it is, there's plenty of solutions that make sense. I got traction for one of those things that I said, put it at the beginning of the season. You won't have, I'll tell people this because this was, you did say something here that technically would help fix it. People need to start thinking about, people need to see what happened here. People do. This is ridiculous way to end the season for the season. It's so awesome.

It is like move it to the spring or move it to the beginning of the season. I think moving it to the beginning of the season takes care of everybody. TV partners will feel great. You'll get PAX, ADM's, fan bases will be excited because you have a neutral site to travel to at the beginning of games. You won't have the opt-outs. Sure, the teams are totally different from the previous season. Have you watched what's been happening?

That's not the same FSU team from the previous season that we saw. So just put it at the beginning of the season. Wait, so you get your TV numbers. And you earn the bowl for the following year. For the following year. The bowl games are played at the start of the season. Bowl games are played at the start of the season.

You're finished, the previous year determines what kind of bowl game you get to be in the start the season. But why? Like, why would you do it that way? It's a meaningless game. No, no, no, no. Now it's a meaningless game.

Bull games with two teams going forward in a neutral site in a game that counts against your record, that'll actually make it feel like some. Well, I mean, I think their argument would be we expanded the playoffs. So next, next year, that will be a playoff game. So those players probably won't have opted out of that. Even laying for a national championship. Even more reason, I think, to put bull games at the start of this season, because it just makes the college football playoff at the end of the year more important.

The acceleration to me symbolically has been fascinating. It wasn't about a couple of years ago we were yelling about... That guy shouldn't opt out, just because he's going to be a first round pick. And that throws a couple of years ago the referee that guy shouldn't opt out he should play in that game first team ever so you need him how about bonus huh thank you ball you played thank you for doing that it's a liberty and you covered yes with it with NCAA records to play for totally selfless act Thank you for. Totally selfless, Hack. Thank you, Bo.

Don Lebertard. Yes, you can't talk about double-digit national titles when every single call of you winning the national title. It sounds like this. Oh, there's a stepping jacker running down his eyeline. That's easy.

It's the audio. That's not true. Yeah. And there's you'd, yeah, that's not it. That's really easy. Yeah. And there's a wall-ball-two veteran pitching into another white guy, and he avoids another white guy. Oh my god, Notre Dame, the fighting hyre's have done it again for the eight-time, and the playing white people.

Spookats. Shubby checker. That's not it. Sorry. He's black. He's black, and I was really going to be like, what's the white name? Shubby checker. I think I'm like, I'm sorry man.

I'm in Provinear. It's a pretty cool rip. That's a shabby checker running down the side. He smells it differently. All right. His name is Shabby. Maybe you didn't hear me correctly. His name is Shabby checkers. Is it an S at the end? I feel like that should be the largest of five.

And Shab me check it. It sounds like a college football name. This is the Dalé Batá Show with this two cats. J Glazer remains at the top of the very competitive game. Very few anywhere in sports journalism or in the information business have better contacts or more information than Jay Glazer. Thank you as always for joining us Jay. I will remind people unbreakable is his mental health podcast.

He is getting great freedom and liberation from showing people his vulnerabilities and showing them that they are not alone with some of the dark thoughts that play Gus Thank you Jay as always for making the time for us got a lot of football that I want to get to with you But before we do that I want to show him some video here of an avalanche broadcasters to got Mark Rycroft By accident during a game. They are just televising the game. We do not have the sound that you need here, but you can see the video of the disgust. He accidentally drinks from the cup of tobacco spit that his partner was spitting into a cup. He thought he was drinking coffee and instead he drinks his

partners tobacco spit. Jay, it looks like you have a story here. You're profoundly disgusted by this, but also enjoying it. Yeah, profoundly disgusted. So here's, you know, I think seventh grade, first time I tried Copenhagen and put it in my mouth and teach you walked in a room and I just had no choice but to just drink it all up and that thankfully got me to make sure I never did you and to back wherever again. Oh, what a worse experience in my life. That's how my dad taught me the same way. This was a weird. Yeah, well, baseball players had these big

chargers in their mouth. And I was bothering my dad for years about it. And then we're just walking through a supermarket. He's tired of me bothering about it. So he just reaches into a bag of Copenhagen. Doesn't teach me how to do it. Sticks it in my mouth and leaves the bag of Copenhagen. They're open on the shelf. And I of course swallowed

it because I didn't want to spit up and it was terrible and I was 43 years old. All right. Wait for it. Hey, my one, I think I'm doing for like last one probably for like an hour. So I had to sit there and just drink this for an hour. Oh, man. No, it'll make you dizzy and it's horrible, but drinking from your partner's cup though as, as horrible as, no, it's even worse to drag especially because you probably know where your partner's been. Yeah. How about being a cha dog during an NHL broadcast? That is. Oh, that is terribly unpleasant. Look at that. You know how hard it is to discuss Jay Glazer. Look at him.

He's cringing. He's winning. He's, what are we, I'm filthy. So that takes a lot. Yes. What other liquors or substances can I get you to recoil that way on? Because I drank too much rumpelmans in college. Yeah. I would say, um, I would say Yager matched her for me because I was doing that with, I was doing Yager and rumpelmans and fireball together. Oh, oh, Jay, Jay, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, of three awfuls. Yeah, your master. You're trying to punish yourself there. Jay. Yeah. horrible. I didn't know it at the time. I was too drunk to know this one. It's my self. Let's talk some football here with Jay. The temper situation in Carolina. Is this funny to you? Oh, you're shaking your head. No, not funny at all. No. Absolutely not. And first of all, you know, I think you asked me a couple of weeks ago, who's the worst meddlers in the league? And he's top. But then to go and throw, you know, and we're, look, we're, we just come out of a COVID area or two and people are a lot more sensitive to throwing terms in other people and you do that and discussed at fans. These are the people who are paying for all of us to have jobs. Now, it's, it's unacceptable. I think all of us to have jobs. Now, it's unacceptable.

I think all industry get held to a higher level than anybody else, but that's ridiculous. Like, listen, there's been a lot of frustrated owners over the years. They don't go and take their drinks and throw them on fans, because they're disgusted. Just, man, grow up, that's ridiculous.

Jay, though, I will explain to people, we were talking before you came on here, I was saying, man, this shadowy world of billionaires that somehow can keep all of their reckless behavior private. Can you explain to people just how poorly behaved this club of men can be in private? Because Tepper owns the team. I'm not doing that. I'm not out.

And people would eat, get me. No, no, you're not somebody else's question. I'm not out that. I'm not out and people would eat, get me. No, no, you got somebody else that question. I'm not out and out. How bad, but, I'm not going to be able to do it. You know, can you speak in general terms, though, about the power in this sport, how it is that they're able to keep everything quiet while it is, we report on everything else. That franchise in particular, Jay, Teperspers in charge at least because they quietly escorted the previous guy out.

Yeah, what did, no, they didn't quietly escort the previous guy out. You know, they got booted out. And, you know, but yeah, the Tempers behavior is just, it's all ridiculous. What, you know, it's not like they're gonna say, okay, we can force a guy to sell because he's a very good somebody.

But they should definitely, it had really hard, It's not like they're going to say, okay, we can force a guy to sell because he's going to return to somebody. But they should definitely hit him really hard. They should treat him with a harsher discipline than any other fan has ever been hit with for something like that. Jay with Michigan beating Alabama, do you feel like Jim Harbys closer to staying at Michigan or closer to going to the NFL? I think he's, you know, dabbled the last couple of years. I think this year, especially because him being in the world and controversy like that,

he might just think, you know what? I'm tired about Adamic. I'm done. He had two controversies earlier this year. I think he would be more inclined to go after. And I say go after one of those jobs because it's different. Like I think in the past Jim Varbar was kind of interviewed for jobs almost like um, he's interviewing them to see if he wanted

to go there. And really when you go after these jobs, you got to sell yourself. Tell them how do we are, you got to sell why you're the right place, right guy for that place and why life is going to be great while you're there with this person. So I think Jim has come in this year and kind of sell himself a little bit more, but I think he does that this year. Yeah, more than he has in the past. Jay, it was cool to see you and the rest of the Fox team supporting Jimmy in Jerry Jones's box for his own. Oh, I love ceremony. The camaraderie second to none when it comes to that Fox team. But what happened at the end of that game was certainly newsworthy. And I know a lot of insiders have ceremony, the camaraderie second to none when it comes to that Fox team. But what happened

at the end of that game was certainly newsworthy. And I know a lot of insiders have been doing a lot of reporting on what happened there. The Lions came prepared with a lot of receipts and they talked to the officials before the game that that play was coming. And there is circumstantial evidence of that player walking up to the official and we don't know what's being said there. You can't go off. Tell me over and make sure it's done, huh? Yeah. So what is exactly going to be the result of this?

It seems as though whether you heard him or not that this would fall on the officials who screwed this up. The results are going to be nothing. In Dan Campbell, when I talked about this, we talked about this the next day. So do you got to, you know, make sure that your players know that it's not like they're going to overturn the results. So somehow you've got to get them to say, okay, this is going to happen. We just got to move forward. It's exactly what you know, even three steps ahead of right in and doing that. But you know, he was furious because he did. He did

everything he was supposed to do. He laid it all out to them. And Dan is a very detailed oriented guy. So I think that right there, like he knew he'd done everything right and in and out. People are now saying, well, they try to fool the cowboys. That's fine. Like every player trying to fool the other team, right? You're trying to disguise what you're doing. So I don't have a problem with them trying to disguise what they're doing to the cowboys also. Trying to confuse them. I think it's totally fine. And I think it's on the officials to make sure they get a rep.

But here's the thing every week, we're talking about the officials. And this is like, you know, I have this talk of, you know, head coach after head coach after I go to, it's not gonna stop. I'm totally NFL decides to say to the officials, hey, let's start calling it like the replacements did years ago where we just held back and let these guys do everything. And unless it was just completely blatant and obvious, you can call a penalty on every play. But the fact is really the story every single week. But Jay, but I don't expect it. I don't expect it. But Jay, how do you, there's no fixing it. So at what point, but at what point does information guy Jay Glazer throw up his hands

and say the game cannot be properly officiated, period? No, again, can be probably appreciated if you stop looking at every single foot. Like it's again, I just say like when the replacement restaurant there, it was great because it was like the league was just like hey, just just you know, back off, don't be the story unless something is completely clear and blatant and obvious. And right now it's just, like I said, but it's not just this year, guys. It's been like this for the last several years, that officiating has just become the story.

The officials should never ever ever be the story. It should never be the product on the field of the players and the coaches. That should be the story, not the officials. Give me the historical precedent for Joe Flacco. It's a good question. Geno Smith, right? I mean, you know, kept playing, but, you know, not like that, you know, where he's just even the way, but yeah, it's kind of a geno Smith situation.

But just, I mean, I was there at Ryle's practice here, practicing in LA, UCLA. And I went to go there to see, there was the past, need a bunch of guys. And Tim walks over to any says to me, how about Joe? So many of that almost rest and just looks fresh to everybody else. So I'm believable. And but at the time, it was kind of almost more of a joke like, man, how great is this would be incredible. But I don't think he expected Joe Flacko to return to a Super Bowl kind of Joe Flacko. It was great. Jay, by the way, real quick, you brought the gym jobs

to think because we just, you know, loaded over that. I know you've done Jimmy for a long time. But man, too, that was definitely one of the nights I'm sitting up there in the suite with our whole crew and it was one of the nights where I look up to to God which I do a lot and I'm like thank you my best friend God almighty that I'm like like five year old Jay if I told him you're gonna be sitting in a suite one time with Jimmy Johnson and how long Terry Bradshaw Michael's friend Kurt Menophee and all and Jerry Jones's box and you're going to be on the field for this ring of honor thing. You got to be kidding me.

In the next day, obviously, I have Dwayne come out of our show and hear the rock. He's talking about a lot out of Jimmy when Dwayne was 15 and getting a lot of trouble. He started watching college football and said, man, University of Miami, that's who I want to go and kind of help save him, get him on the straight narrow. And for him to be able to tell Jimmy that, it was such a short, like, Jimmy's giving us some great surreal moments the last couple of years.

But our crew is, we're different. Like, we hang out constantly. We vacation together. We go, we spend every holiday together. We're, you know, Godfather's of each other's kids. It's just never happened again in TV. I don't think. And, you know, it's because of how close we are. That was such an unbelievable weekend, man. I think we're all still kind of, kind of digesting it. We're all in this text change. It's not great. It was. Let me explore this for a second with you, Jay,

because I have known Jimmy for a long time and football has made him wildly, wildly happy, but getting away from how awful he had to be as a human being to coach successfully has given him great peace. It destroyed his relationship with Jerry Jones and I did not believe they would ever get over the pettiness of it. Jimmy has said in the past, I will not be in that ring of honor while I'm alive. Jerry will never allow it to see them late in life. Show gratitude toward each other after the silliness of what broke them apart. You were close to something that was was really moving. Jimmy does not to see Michael Irvin and Emmett Smith not realize

they're jostling an 80 year old man who you need to be a little more careful with because they're just a young 80 though. Yeah, well, but he's a young 80, but you saw my father has been jostled by by people who are stronger than him. They forgot he's 80 because he's always been coached like you were around a really special thing that night. Now, and you know, and a few weeks earlier, myself, Jimmy and Bill Richards are producer, when our executive producer went to Cowboys Chargers here in LA, and on Monday night, and that's been Jimmy and Jerry kind of met. We all kind of were hanging on the silence. They met up. Those two had their own little private talk, and that's where the fences were mended, and for me to, and I've just kept my mouth shut the whole time.

It's not my business talk about Jimmy's business, but I was able to see that firsthand as well. There's, it's, like my career is amazing where, and I always tell this to like, how are we long? I'll say, hey, you know, I know we're supposed to act like we've been there before, but that I haven't. Like, this shit is cool. Hey, you know, I know we're supposed to act like we've been there before, but that I haven't. It's just cool.

Well, it's, it's also cool though, Jay, that you would experience the joys of gratitude in that moment that while you're experiencing something that feels that good, you're also appreciative of it in a way that makes you not skip right past how amazing it is. Thank you for being. I always try to do that. Always try and make sure that I understand it and kind of live in that ground. It's easy to act like a lot of people think act like, oh, yeah, I knew we're going to act like we're, you know, this is just another day. It's not just another day. You're going to take a carbonianna

fell like your dream job as a kid and get these relationships with the greatest leaders of men in the history of sports. It's incredible. And it's not just that, Jay. They're your friends. What you're saying is rare is you guys are family. Yes. They know your secrets. They know all your bad stuff.

And you love each other despite it. It's very cool to see. It's been very cool to see you guys age on television together because it's clear every time we're watching it that everyone there loves each other. Thank you, Jay. Good to see you again. Hey, they've aged on TV. I have. No, you have not. It's part of, it's part of that serum, that $92 serum that you use and the fact that you don't let us, you don't, it was not. Hello, and you don't show us the gray hair either. There'd be gray hair if you weren't bald.

You're cheating. Love you guys. Don Lebatard. I feel like we need to normalize saying the scientific terms for organs on the air. Like someone, yes. You know what? If someone takes a foul ball to the penis, we should just say he took a foul ball to the penis. Say it. Stugats. That free kick hit him right in the cock, a doodle-doo. This is the Don Lebatard show eh? Stugats. That free-kick kid I'm writing the cock a doodle do.

This is the Don LeBathar show with this Stugats. I'm not certain how you guys felt about the start times for the National Semifinal College football games, but I hated it. I mean, seriously, I'm tired. My daughters, they don't listen to me anymore. I've lost them, okay? They're rolling their eyes.

And I don't need on January 1st, and after sitting around for 10 days, gummies, debauchery, time. Monday that feels like a Sunday. Monday that feels like a Sunday. To not give me a nine o'clock kickoff time for Washington and who they play. I'm tired. Texas. Yeah, I didn't even see the game. It was too late. I don't want that. Give me

a two o'clock and a five o'clock start. Give me a one o'clock, five o'clock start. Give me a three and a six o'clock start. I realized the Rose Bowl has to start at the same time every year. It's the granddaddy of them all. But do me a favor. Do not give me a nine p.m. kickoff on January 1st of all days when I'm exhausted Billy Why are you shaking your head at him? I just none of this surprises me. Well, I just none of it's I mean him not knowing that Texas played in it Well, he's not knowing that he's played it and also he wanted to do a godless football episode about the games yesterday I didn't know what teams played in them after the games already happened I said nothing about it.

God bless football episode yesterday. I did one last week on Monday. I did one last week on Friday. I did nothing this week. Hopefully you and I will do one today. We'll see. But you didn't want to say that. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Why would anyone want to listen to one we did today? If you just admit you don't even know what teams played yesterday. It was a great game came down to the last play. Texas had a chance to win at the very end. They didn't get it done. They should have gotten it done. I feel like Texas is probably the best team in the country, but they didn't get it done. Sark, horrible play calls it.

I think he thinks he's a coach. He's out there on the sidelines. He's yelling at players. 15 seconds left of the game. Why are you doing a little screen pass for a negative one yards, wasting five seconds? He's a gacky. Do me a favor, McConney. Yellow players at three in the afternoon. I don't needed it at 9 30 10 30 11 o'clock at night. I need my games to be on earlier. I want me to believe that that's an important game. Don't have them standing around waiting for the previous game to end before they kick it off. Thank you. Embarrassing. Yep. Billy, you were you agreed to. Nothing tells you your second fiddle more than sitting around in a stadium of 80,000 people waiting for another game

We'll start when that game's over. No, we'll start now. Thank you very much. How about you started 2 p.m. How about you start on time? Exactly right but having the sunset as a fourth quarter Yeah, really have that if you're starting the game It's so beautiful. There's starting about one and then the second game can be at five. Problem solved. A little one little five. But then come to me. I miss my sunset. I guess you're no, you'll still get that's a second game. Exactly. I'm not entering the fourth course. Yes, it starts the exact same time. You just have the other game before it. Put the other

game at two. But then what about the West Coast? Who cares about the West Coast? They don't care about sports in the West Coast, please. That was football yesterday. That stadium, those two teams, the uniforms, the sun coming down, the fence of battle, that was football. That was a great, rose bowl game. And it seemed like it was a great, trick-or-ball game. I could not fight my eyes come the third quarter.

Well, this is what I felt. You know what? I'm sorry about that. I'll let you agree. It was a great you know what? I'm sorry about that. Are you agree? It was a great game. Great wide receivers all over the field. The Washington as arguably one of the greatest wide receiver sets of the last 20 years,

right up there with the LSU team. Everyone discovered Washington was good last night. No, I mean, I'm known to think and go. I'm not true, Scott. Come on. A lot of people. I turned on ESPN radio this morning, the way it is right. Michael Pettis.

Their conference doesn't even care about them. They fold it. Wait a minute. Just wait a minute. There's a certain amount of ignorance. I cannot abide. Okay. Like I understand he wants the lazy as possible.

Yes, multiple podcasts when I haven't watched anything. And I'm just going to sort of fake my way through this. But people who've been watching Washington football all year have known how good that football team is. No one's watched them. I mean, Texas. One at Alabama, by two touchdowns,

and we all started questioning Alabama, but if you want serious analysis about what you saw yesterday because you're giving the lazyest possible analysis. I just thought an earlier start. But before that, two guys, before that you were talking about Sabin, awfully conservative on that drive. On that drive, most conservative Sabin I've seen when you get here 10 minutes ago and you haven't been paying attention to Alabama was out manned up front.

Like, this Alabama team, you love to do this pop of itch thing of maybe his best coaching job yet. Nick Sabin's team wasn't that good this year. this Alabama team, you love to do this pop of itch thing of maybe his best coaching job. Yet Nick Sabin's team wasn't that good this year. Like he was getting molded by Michigan's offensive lineman. They made all sorts of shifts in the second half to disguise that the court that Milrose not good enough. I agree with you. It's why it's his best coaching job ever.

I mean, what's too bad to actually just said to me that you're not allowed to not be surprised by Billy is, at 9 p.m. on January 1st of the year of our Lord, 2024, Stu got to actually muttered, football, leave me alone. I mean, enough, enough with the 9 p.m. game, the granddaddy, that's it. Look, it's sunset on my life I was its sunset on my life. Its sunset on my happy hour. What a game. I can't do nine o'clock football, even if you give me 3731. I'm a tired old man mailing in on animals. I've been watching for football for 10 days

enough. I was right there next to him. At least I made it to the third quarter. I just couldn't fight it off. It ended at one in the morning. You guys can say, what about the west? What about the east coast? It's one a.m. I'd have a billion over here. You stayed up for it. Well, I mean, 37, 31 is a shootout. That extends the time that you're watching the game.

More time outs. All that. Give me defensive struggle. I mean, if you get a start again at nine o'clock, you know, first team to seven wins. I said, Dan, I can't stay up this late anymore. I can't deal with it. I give you a defensive struggle in the first game. And it's still didn Dan. I can't stay up this late anymore. I can't do it I'm struggling the first game and it's still to a matter they're getting all their commercials in that was a quick game over time

Ruin that you won at nine o'clock start to not be a shootout. You want it to be a defensive game? Just a quick one. Yeah, someone win at seven. Nothing. Let's go to bed a lot of run plays get that clock moving Yes, my eyes are so heavy that my eyes were so heavy that I didn't notice that there were boobs on my television Did you sit well certainly the person Manning the the control board over at ESPN didn't notice that either did you see that they've had to apologize They did one of those b-roll shots of bourbon street a street where famously people toss beads It was a very subtle flashing it was quick. It was quick Unfortunately for them the sponsor card almost blocked it entirely.

But now there's a screen cap of a sponsor next to just someone getting beads. Billy, you are not allowed as the producer of God Bless Football, which I'm assuming has won all those podcasts. I know you can still vote for us. Yeah, please do. Where do you vote? Uh, there's a link on Twitter. Okay, please do. Where do you vote? Uh, there's a link on Twitter. Okay. Exo.

War. It's always circa Las Vegas. Bored podcast award.com. Uh, you are not allowed to not be surprised by Stugots muttering at 9 p.m. January 1st. Football. Leave me alone. Monday.

That feels like a Sunday. I mean, you can't, you can't, you're not, you don't know this creature so well that that's not surprising to you. When he's asking you to do multiple God bless footballs, he's ruining your time off by Billy. No one to ask for those God bless football. Well, he didn't have, he had taught his father daughters are rolling their eyes at him. He's like, I got to get my football opinions off. Even if I haven't seen the games and even if at 9 p.m. on January 1st, I'm like football, leave me alone. I have to give my opinion somewhere. You would agree though. It was enough football.

And it was a lot over the, it was a lot of football. I would agree. I would Tennessee. Like who needed that needed no one needed that The RB OBS to ball where they didn't care what time they were starting in mountain west time It was I think it started at like 9 30 a.m. Local time don't give me liberty and you're gonna do this Don't give me liberty give me that Don't do that you're gonna do this in an expanded playup. You don't need to include the small crap schools in the expanded playoff. Come on. We're expanding the playoff. If they're good enough, they can be one of the top 12 teams.

Dollars to donuts, the national championship is not starting at 730. That's a listed time, not a chance in how the game starts at 730. Dollars to donuts. Put it on the pole is anyone under 80 years old saying the phrase dollars to donut at Levitard show that thing has 9b and written all over it. That's a 902 kickoff. I've ever seen one. It says 7 30 but you know that's just so you tune into ESPN at 7 30. Then you start doing the multiple stuff, bomber, flyovers and all that stuff. Games probably even in a dome. It is. What are they going to fly over for? Yeah, it's in Houston.

But here's the thing though. Here's the retractable. I've been I've been loving the Washington story all year and the Pennick story all year and I love watching them play offense because they throw the ball way down the field. But I was not with you guys on the idea of football leave me alone because I could have spent three hours one of those days talking about how James Franklin should have pressed assault charges for what Lane Kiffin did to him in that bouquet. James Franklin was exposed for all to see in Penn State football. Oh my God. Lane Kiffin is much more aggressive offensively and has a great quarterback named

Jackson Dart with the perfect name. I could have spent, I could have talked about, at 2 a.m., if you had turned on the YouTube, I would have wandered over and asked James Franklin to press charges for assault on Lane Kiffin.
