Folks, I'm getting hungry, and you know my favorite part of any meal, snack, or game day app? That's right. The goat, or should I say, the greatest of all time? Frank's Red Hot! It's got the perfect blend of flavor and heat that elevates all foods from wings to Buffalo chicken dip to even ice cream. That's right, I said ice cream. And with a roster of flavors from OG to sweet chili, you can put that shit on everything.

So make every dish the greatest and eat the goat. This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast. I want to figure out what planes to fly over the stadium. Help me fly some planes. Interesting way to frame that. Probably airspace is going to be restricted. I want to do some advertising. You don't think you can have just the plane circling around?

I think airspace is going to be at a premium and restricted. So you may want to pivot. Maybe one of those buses. No, you don't think it's funny for our logo with some joke and a banner to be weaving in and out of military planes? You don't think that's funny? No. And I honestly don't even think our logo would fly with Keynes fans either.

Are we a playoff team now? Probably even more polarizing amongst Keynes fans than Donald Trump. Okay. In fact, I know that to be the case. I have at least seen hats supporting him at the games. All right, look. Here we go with this. No, we can get into this because I was being heckled from the bowling alley.

Greg and Chris Cody telling me what their friends are saying about how offensive the things I'm doing are. We'll get to that in a second. People are mad at you. I'm a provocateur. I've been doing this for 30 years. Look, you broke a bottle over my chin 25 years ago because you're mad at me. Don't care. Built the empire around our program.

I love it. I went to school there. Did journalism there. Don't care who's mad about it. Didn't care about it 25 years ago. Program's been very good to me. I love it. I've always respected it.

and I've always told it story well. Yes, you have always told it story well. I think most Keynes fans don't think that you respect it. And I know this from the enormous amount of fanfare that I got for yesterday's segment, defending Mario Cristobal. Dan, I think here's where the confusion is. And let me try to explain this as best I can. You're a guy that has historically put on for Miami better than anybody else.

When those heat teams were going and the entire world was against Miami, you didn't give a single flying F about who was coming your way. You do not step to this town and talk shit about it. And when there is a team for a school that you went to, a team that reflects this town better than anyone has ever had, you seem to both sides it. So I know, look, Jeremy, it's great that we have a villain. Billy doing his shit-serring thing, that was cool.

But for it to come from somebody that went to the school, who already got a reputation working against him, People, I think, incorrectly place a lot of the sanction stuff on you, as you know. You know about that Pell Grant? Yeah. You got scooped on it. Can you say the one word there incorrectly again? No, let's give people, since we're here, okay, since we're here, look, this is a long time and coming.

I have a relationship with the school, the community around the school, speak at its classes, have loved the school, will always love the school, am wildly grateful for all of the opportunities it presented. including the stage right now because they helped us build this thing with all the things I learned from them and their program. Look, it's been a rough 20 years. I'm trying to calmly explain why people feel this way about you. In the local hour over several years, rather than trying to be rah-rah about the home team, like we are seemingly with all the other sports. Dolphins, we tee off on and that's understandable because they've been miserable and we've got to find a way to find the fun content. but for whatever reason, when it comes to the Miami Hurricanes, we give the other side more than we give the pro stuff.

I know I am not the only Miami Hurricane fan in this studio. I'm surrounded by them. You're a Miami Hurricane fan. You're a Miami Hurricane fan. These two guys in front of me are a Miami Hurricanes fan. The only person that's not a Miami Hurricane fan is Jeremy, who reps UCF and Indiana and whoever Miami is playing. That's understandable. And yet, I think it's outsized and has been outsized on this show,

giving voice to the dissenting opinions that it's become the opinion. And this is the reality. This is the perception of our show. The show, outside of me, is largely perceived amongst our community to be an anti-Miamese show. Okay. And so, let me, Jesus, I didn't realize I had to explain this to the audience. Never mind that I had to explain this to you. I didn't think I would have to explain any of this specifically to you.

We're doing a show that has represented our city for, 20 years through all of that conflict and the story starts, okay, just so we remember what our roots are here. Before our radio station existed, I'm fighting in 90s, Miami with the incumbent radio station who's killing me for 10 years while using all of my columns that are about race relations and what's going on really at the University of Miami with its players and who they actually are as everything that's being reported is gun charges and cocaine. and Michael Irvin ran over somebody's foot near the library. For 10 years, that radio station is crushing me and using my columns for content to make

themselves radio stars while I'm coming up to that school as a Cuban Miami through the same Miami Christobal came up through. Can you please mention how your parents fled to this country so I can get bingo for freedom? I'm going to tell you the entirety of the story. I know you guys know the story, okay? And I know you're bored by the story, but I'm going to tell the entirety of the story because of how I feel about this program and because of the story. I've been arrested around it and because I got a beer bottle broken over my face.

Yeah. No, no. You're going to also tell the story because you're a writer. Tell it. Yeah. And I'm the one who runs this show. Yeah. And in running this show, we've created a wonderful journalistic character that represents

the University of Miami artfully and with his heart at all times. And we do a national thing that annoys people plenty with all our Miami since ESPN. and deportes. And now I am happy for everything that's happening around the program. And I said a word yesterday, reputationalally, a word, a single word is what I said to you, that Mario Cristobal reputationality is not trusted in the big games. And that set you off. Yeah, because it's just not true. He's seven and oh against top 25 teams. And that is indisputable. Yeah, big games to show up. But what's also not disputable is they've never won the ACC or played in its championship game. And so the big games are few and far between. And so when you lose double-digit underdogs, it's not unfair to say that

before this recent run, he was reputationally criticized as someone who would not win these games. Parsing none of those games actually close at double digits. But I hear you. And but like, they were a Louisville double-digit favorite. Right. But the reputation is they don't show up for these games. Like these are one-score losses. Yeah. No, I think that that's the part where I think there's confusion about. We talked about that yesterday, all right? It's fine. Here's where I want to get it.

I understand what you're doing. I understand especially during some lean years how my character could be grading and how my passion needed to have people to bump up against. Go on. When it comes to the Miami Heat, though, that doesn't really exist. When it comes to the Florida Panthers, though, that doesn't really exist. So Miami Hurricanes fans are sitting back and watching our show over the years, and especially during this run and are asking themselves, does Dan just need a Pat Riley fortune cookie

wrapped around this story to cape up for his town? Because why? Is it so outsized that we have to have so many dissenting opinions when this is such a great story for this community? And Dan is supposed to be the Miami guy and he actually went to the school. But who disputes any of what you're saying? And how is that not being conveyed by the show through you? How is that not obvious in terms of bursts of great hurricane coverage that they can get not? just here, but with the own business that you started because you want to do it differently and you want to be over there actually analyzing for two straight hours, the guard play. I would guess because they want 100% buy-in on this show.

I think they, look, our show meets a moment when the team is in the championship games, right? Like, this is, people come here from all over the world to hear bias Miami coverage because we are a Miami show. And for whatever reason when it comes to this program and it's irrefutable because I have felt it, because I am often alone when I am touting the Miami Hurricanes, this show has an outsized representation of dissenting opinions when it comes to this program. And I understand why. And I understand why I in particular need a dilution. I don't understand why we need that dilution right now.

I have a theory. I have a theory why. Why Dan is, I think what you're saying makes sense. And why Dan is like that with the canes as opposed to not like that when the heat. in the finals or the Panthers or winning the Stanley Cup, is it because you actually have a legitimate tie to the school? And maybe you don't want to come off as, like, you want to actually be fair because you legitimately have a tie to the school as

supposed to have an, you never play with my heat. Well, thank you, Zazel. I am attempting ostensibly, to be fair, objective is funny, because it's an illusion. Now? But did you, no, but did you not hear Nick Wright yesterday? Were you guys not listening when Nick Wright did what he did with the J, capital J, wherever it is that he accused me of just sort of not being you anymore? Right. Are you just overcompensating because you cannot deny that it is different when it comes to this program?

Mike, I'm simply to our national and regional audience, I am simply also trying to give voice to whatever other side there is here in the name of fairness, while everyone who's listening to this knows I love the school. Right. But you don't do that. to the other teams. You don't. When they're when they're in this spot, you don't. Ask Jeremy, how do the heat feel about, how do the heat feel about this show? I don't know how the heat feel. I know as the one person. I, like, I'm hearing everything Mike is saying and saying, yes, yes, yes, on the heat side. Recently. Because this entire show for the last three years has been an anti-heat show recently. Like, it's fair. Look, look, we're trying to, we're trying to call them

a little bit like we see that. I'm not asking for a hundred percent rah-rah homerism. I don't think that's ever been the case. We've always had someone on the show that is either anti the local team or at least speaks for that section of the audience. I'm just saying, like the pro-Miamy stuff is not a majority opinion on this show and hasn't been since probably it started. And that is the perception of the fans. You may feel differently. I'm just telling you how it is because I'm out here in these streets, Dan. Happy New Year everybody. 2026 is already getting off to an incredible start because you want to know how I rang in the new year? It was with a bunch of friends in a Dallas hotel lobby bar,

ordering a bunch of Miller Lights, because that's how you do it. That's how you make special memories. Miller Light has been by my side and many special football memories this year, and hopefully we get to write a few more memories with Miller Light. Some of my most legendary moments have started that exact same way. A buddy's house, a lobby bar, a game, no big plan. And then you crack open a Miller Light.

You take a sip, and you look around. round and you immediately recognize that you made the right call. Legendary moments start with Miller Lite. Great taste, 96 calories.

Don Libetard. It's not my favorite region. Context needs to be applied. I thought that context was applied. We'd like to rip that out of context. I was going for a thing. And I have a family. You're going to pretend here that you don't love Matthew Kachuk more than you love anybody you've ever loved.

I don't love Matthew Kuchuk more than my daughter. Stugats. Now it's pretty damn close. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Where's Tony? Let's see what Tony's doing. Tony's, uh, continues to be outside. Did you grab a popsicle?

Not journalism. I got it. I got it. Did not grab a popsicle, Dan, but looka that I reswebo. Okay, I went inside. Talk to the nice lady at the front. We're going inside. Let's go.

Oh, wow. Let's go. No, now we're getting somewhere. Look, I resweb. Thanks. All right. So Tony, Morgheim.

No, McGill loves this shot. So, Tony, just walk around, and if you want to interact with anybody, you can. But also, just give us all your foot. Oh, those are the furries. Give us all your football takes as you wander around in there. Just all of them. Okay.

All right. We'll start. This is a Halloween shop? We'll start in the NFL. It's a bit of a mix. Like, they got costumes. They got certain things going on here. Obviously, you know.

Tony, just plow ahead. And if there's anything you want to, interact with you interact but in the interim just give me football analysis please nothing else yeah okay here's your big moment tony the rams yeah yeah the rams i think like we talked about could be one of the best teams in the nflb but they have a weird thing with the panthers where they just kind of can't figure them out i don't know if it's that the panthers have their number or if stafford just doesn't like playing carolina i don't know what it is but now that the panthers are out of the way i think the Rams can go on a run.

Hmm, what do we think about this? Bow and arrow? It's a little cow girl situation there. I don't know. There's a lot of costumes here. It's a lot of costumes. Ben Johnson is probably one of the biggest winners, not only of the weekend,

but the entire season, because when you have somebody who goes interdivision and then all the sudden can do what he can do, here, hold this for a second wrong. When somebody can do what he can do, which is basically completely flip. I don't think you're using that right.

More quiet? What? Are you being reprimanded? That holst or something else. You're being reprimanded for just wandering. No, no, I was told to not show certain things, which is fine.

We're in the costume section, which is perfectly fine. No, what I was going to say was, not only do you have the plus of taking away at the original opponents, best asset,

because they told me to be more quiet. If people actually patron to the store that are looking for stuff. I don't think that that mask is supposed to go over eyes over your eyes. I think you're wearing that wrong. Look a little like the hamburger. What?

They have a picture of people over their face. You can't just put that back. Multiple uses. Yeah, you own that now. That's yours. No, no, I'm not buying it. You can't put that bag. Somebody else didn't want to wear that be smelling your fumes in that? Oh, I can put this back in a second.

What are you talking about? That's gross. Oh, don't do that. People have been wearing. that thing for 60. We approve it. We approve it. What do you think there's rules here? What can't you show? What can't you show? He just said it's a no hold barred. I can't show the obvious thing. I can't show the obvious thing. I've been already told by the higher ups. I didn't confirm nor did. We did two shows on that a few weeks ago.

You can sell them at a CVS, but you can't, you can't show them. I think it's porn. It can't be any sex toy related things. He can't televise. No, no, it is. No, no, no, it is. It is, it is, it is, it is ST related. It's absolutely ST related. Why do you do that? You can't do that. So, okay. Do what? All right, let's keep bringing down the playoffs. Sex toy. Keep giving us your football analysis. Were you done with Ben Johnson or do you have more? What is that? I have a clown horn.

What is that? Also, Dan, don't think you have the right use for that either. Where does that go? It's 799. You became John Madden. all of a sudden. And such a great bit, sexual job. Boom.

Okay, so the best thing about Ben Johnson is leaving the lions in a lurch, going over to Chicago, saying that he hates Matt Lafleur for some oblivious reason. We have no idea why, and then beating him and then giving him the handshake of like, see you later. It's so good. It's so good. the Bears coach does not respect the Packers coach and came close to getting him fired with three brutal questions. Whoa.

Because you never see that. Am I wrong or overreacting when I say that's one of the great football collapses of all time in the playoffs? I mean, points wise, yeah. They were up by 15 in the fourth quarter. Yeah. Paint the picture, Tony. All right. No, no.

We're walking through more of, how do I say it? A bit of more of like 50 shades of gray situation on this side. If you catch my drift, which... Put something on. It's not a... Some money ears behind you, if you want to take those for a walk. All right, one more football take. You have earned one more football take.

Be careful. Don't show anybody on camera. That's Rose. Oh, that's just Rose. Okay. No, no, we're... Does Rose have any thoughts? Does Rose have any thoughts? She can't be enjoying it in there. I'm sure she has a few thoughts.

50% off. Dan? Dan. That's a blowout sale. Can I pick your interest? Oh, my God. Give me a couple of those. Blow out.

Yeah, wait a second. Do you want, do you want these, do you want the crafty witch? Dan's into this section right here. Oh, I got, I got, I got, I got Dan's kit, the wizard kit. Dan, you show up in the wizard kit. You're going to dominate. I should do the live stream dressed as the sexual wizard. Bring me one of those costumes back here so that we can a week from now build up to,

to this purchased, get my size, Tony, make sure to get my size. Thank you. What size is that? Are you going to go over to Columbus? No. No, I'm not going to Columbus today. Because I think it'd be funny if you got picked up by a school with some of these things in your car. Tell them, play things let you in.

Why won't Columbus let you in? Would that be funny to you? All right. It's a good point, actually. The feelers have been out there. We're looking to maybe Wednesday or Thursday being able to do something at Columbus. I've already got boots on the ground working things out. So, again, Dan, is there any other costume you would like that would make sense?

No, no. They have a count. Would you want to be a count? Well, just... I don't want you to... Count. What's that, Rose? He's very about that. Did you just do the count from Sesame Street?

Was that just your count from Sesame Street impersonation? Is there another count? Dealing for... Ah, ah, ah. Tony, thank you for your report from over there. Thank you for your bravery and journalism. And you did much better journalism than that woman. in Jacksonville. Thank you for being on

with us. Hey, go dolphins. What's that? What did you? Oh, is that a go dolphin thong? No, it's a garland. They're selling garlands here now. So that's nice. Your heads in the right spot. Dan, I can bring this back for you. Well, actually, now you see, Tony, you laugh. But my next step on this, I'll keep escalating this so that ultimately you're just doing a report

wearing nothing but that outside of some place like Bird Bowl and Miami. Like, I'll keep escalating this. If you want, like, do you realize what a payoff it would be? If at the live stream, you debuted a nude reporter, Tony reporting live off the cane.

Not journalism. No, bad idea. Thank you, Tony. Appreciate the time. Appreciate the reports. Get into Columbus before the end of the week. Okay, I will. At Medcan, we know that life's greatest moments

My father's here. And Domino is here. And everything's moving too fast around here today. So I got Theo Zazlo next to. Sudano and I'm here with my father and Greg Cody and I've asked Metal Arc Media to make a game show. Game shows, man, the media's collapsed. Hollywood's collapsed. It's the same four businesses that are running everything. Everything's collapsing around here. Game shows. Those are cheap. Where's there a game show? And so Mike Ryan says, my hungry off's not good enough. I got a better

idea. And so he produces whatever it is we're about to do here, which is Mike, because I've never met Domino before, but I want to tell the audience to support Domino Saturday, January 17th, at CCW's Rumble in the Jungle. He can get tickets, you can get tickets at CCW Tix.com. What are we doing right now? You think you're going to pull off a game show in 10 minutes? Well, you want to celebrate all things Cuban. So why don't we have a Cuban-themed game show? Divise two teams, the Levitards versus Sedano and T.O. Zaz to find out K&S. Cubano. Okay. So, all right. So the game is, how Cuban are you or who's more Cuban? Yeah, but it's got a catchy little name and some imaging. How Cuban? No, it's called Domino.

No. Welcome and bienvenitos to Domino, the game show that settles who is a real Cuban around here. Here's your host, former CCW South Eastern Heavyweight Champion. the cabo, a turon, a champion and current king of the

territory domino! Owee, we're of my people, hey, also I'm I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Acelerat. Frustrable,

We're going to go. Here we'll see. Here we'll be, de verily, who is the Cuban, arrepentio. All right. So I'm going to go first. My father and I are one team.

Tio Zaz. Tio Zaz is formidable. He's got that look in his eyes. He looks like the guy Poppy and I beat a Domino Park that one day. Oh, that's right. This is legitimate. These credentials are legitimate. Sedano and my father won a legitimate

Gallo-Ocho Domino tournament in the streets. It was like 15 years ago. All right. So, Poppy, The game is, poppy, is to find out how Cuban we are. So first question, Domino. Here I'm, look at you into your grandma's house, and you see an aluminum can. All right, an aluminum tin, blue.

De Galli Tica, the cookies, the Royal Dance Cookies. What is stored? What is stored? What are there in that aluminum thing? Oh, they put it. A, sewing supplies. B, nothing boats. See, and ediga, some cookies.

Bobby? Dad. No, there's no. There's no cookies in there. No, no cookies are gone. You already. They're sewing supplies. A huge mistake.

Domina, what is the right answer? The right answer. So, so. Soing supplies. See? Everybody knows this. Bobby. Bobby.

My money set up on the cookies. You guys are struggling already. So let me tell you, you do have something at your disposal. You can phone a friend at any point in this game, and we have a Cuban expert on the line that can help you out. So just keep that in mind. We move on, Domino. Okay, the next.

But, Papi, you thought that you were going to have to have that, bro. This is for us. Okay, look. Okay, look. The shi tachietude. You always do it. To do the shaltic. Like all right now.

I'm going to tell you. He's hungry. He wanted to be cookies. Okay, the next. Guy came in hungry. He was like chowin on bagel. Oh, hey, attention. D. D.

Pardon, pardon, pardon. And someone says, Dale, what are they saying? Okay. Go quoting peak boom, or all of the above? Oh, this one's easy. You ready?

Yeah. I'll just take it. D, all of the above. All above. Bobby. Cogian one point. Yeah, they got... Fayiaste. Okay, next time.

Okay, they got the point. D'ale. So that's the sound that accompanies when you get it correct. What was the sound what was getting an incorrect? No. We got a new game show.

Manilark Media has a new cheap game show. Okay, let's go, la proxia. If you're a Cuban, de verda, and you're here in Miami, and somebody says, I'm five minutes away. A, are they five minutes away?

B, are they ten minutes away? C, half an hour? D, I haven't left yet. Papi, no de la repuetta. Hold on a second, Poppy. You're confident here because I don't trust you anymore. I'm hot to trust. That's not an answer to my question.

Well, I would have thought you got the first one. I don't want, no, I want to phone a friend. I want a phone a friend. Okay. Okay. Tony. Is Tony the friend? What's it?

Oh, oh, do you're a, you're a man, you're a cacao. Oh, with the machete

that's I'm afilau. You know, that you know, you know, he's

about my side. Look, what's what you're quick. What's rapid?

Look, here, Cuba Rambling. Here, wait, is it he's going to

be him that answers it or is he's going to give you his expertise. Of course.

I want Tony. I don't want Jeremy You got Tony. You got Tony. You got Tony. You got Tony.

Me got Tommy. If you're Cuban, what does I'm five minutes away mean in Miami? Five minutes, ten minutes. No, don't even tell me. Don't even tell me. Don't even tell me. I haven't even left yet. Are you going with that answer?

Cool. I already got the point. Yes, yeah. It seems to be. I said that I love for Chris Cody. It's like everybody's on cafe-cito. All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right. All right. No. So, okay. Number four. What is the signature set of a Cuban baby?

Recynecée. A, talco. B, awa violetta. C, baby powder or di, compota? What is the question? What is the signature set of a Cuban baby? Uh-huh. A, talco.

B, awaboleta. C, baby powder, or D, compota. All right, that one's a tough one, Zaz. I think we need to phone a friend here, the Ozaz. All right, so who do we get? No. No.

Okay, so. No, come on. Are you serious? No, you guys are sandbagging us. I'm trying to do the translations in my head. And I don't know what Talco is. Oh, Jesus. I think the second one is violet water, but water doesn't smell like anything.

Obviously, baby powder makes sense. Compota, is that like the, like, raspberry compost they do on Great British Baking show? This type, compota, babe. I would say it's, I would say it's C, baby powder. Baby powder wasn't C anyway It wasn't C, that was one Tauco is one Wait, is Tauco and baby powder

The same thing? Yes, you doofish What kind of Cuban are you? You can choose to follow his advice? This divo, look, The most arrepentio is that The kid has the Indianna t-shirt Is it?

With the carajosa, that's a Rapporteur. So what is your answer? You're sticking with baby powder? No. No. We're going to go with Awa de violetas.

What do you mean? You forgot about Fidel. I did. I think I died about 15 years ago. It's not the way that I expected it to go.

Yeah, yeah. Well, we've clinched basically. Leave it out. La Bruechima. I'm a little distraught because, you see, I've lost the accent now I was brooding for my fellow Cubans and I don't know what's happening I'm Cuban bro Elio here's too some somewhat no say elizabeth yon I want to play with a why I want to keep playing who we're more questions style points here we do we do already all righty that's not very Cuban someone spills a drink on your floor a cafe c'id I'm a character there with the all right keep k-fabe oh my dad my jim domino k fabe all right Look, look,

Wow, the Lvatord steel. I just made that rule up. I know. That's as close. I've ever felt to my father. Pinesol, huh? Okay. I mean, mitolina or fabuloso?

That was a toss-up. It's close. Okay, here we go. The next one, for those that don't understand. Who said Elian Gonzalez in the ocean? Oh, my God.

Fill in the blank. Who rescaled to Elian? Who rescued him? The Guardia Costa American. No? He went off the board. I'm going to go dolphins. The dolphins.

Wait, wait. What's the official lebitard answer? Bobby, the dolphins, no. The dolphins? Yeah, I don't know that. Yeah. Oh, Cuban the Lord. Daly.

Larry Zonka. What's the dolphins? Bobby, how are you getting all of these questions wrong? How is it possible that you, the most Cuban among us, has forgotten Elian and Fidel? Oh, Elian. Yeah. He must be a man by now. He must be a man by now.

He communista now. We got dolphins had saved them, but we would have accepted Donato Dalrymple. Is this the last one? The last one. The last one. The grand finale. Okay?

Here we go. What food item? Will the Miami Hurricanes, okay? those Indiana Hoosiers that? What food are going to eat? What we're reparting there in Lune? Oh, Jesus.

I know what it is. Say it. Pappy, do you know? Well, hold on. My father does not know, and if you say it to my father's face, he's going to get disoriented, offended, and not allow you to say it on the show. Papa, you think you know? Oh, I got it. I got it.

But it's our question. No, no. But he's surely going to get it wrong. Yeah, that's the way this game's been going. He's going to get it wrong. Croquettas, much croquettas. Wow, this is really good. You all? Ready?

What? Bobby, watch this. Just watch what he's about to say here, what Indiana is about to get, okay? Paco Pinga! Papa, Pina, the Lune! And if he don't get the pile,

I'll repartee you myself. We want the only. Good job, even without Jeremy's sorry. Zazzle killed it. Yeah. Asl was great. As the host of the show, The winners always are the Cubano.

Thank you for your time. I will tell the people again. Support the people who support us Saturday, January 17th. CCW's Rumble in the Jungle. You get tickets at CCW ticks.com. I want to play Domino again on Monday night during the live stream. Can we get him back here? He's working at Las Roses.

My father, really, I can't believe, Bobby. You were not more... Bobby, what did you? Cuban than that. Stage fright? It's been a while. Domino, you were great, pal. Where did you go to school?

I'm going to school. I'm a class of six, Christopher Columbus. Oh, wow. Another Columbus guy. Another one. Yeah, whatever. Whatever. Sedano, Columbus is gloating right now. Now, listen.

Sedano, you feel this as a lifelong. Thank you, Dominio. I'm a Pace high school, Obalaca, to the core guy. It's okay. So we know what the private schools. I went to the private school with like black people and like girls. You know, I mean, so that was. My head girls.

Sedano. So we did it in, we did it in brown. but the private school Cubans in Miami, Columbus has been the most annoying. They never get to be this kind of best at everything. Never in Miami. Columbus doesn't get to be better than Northwestern at football. At basketball. They just had the boozer twins for that sake.

Yes, this is never in the history of Miami happened where you've got this absurdity at the top of this sport. Have you seen the arms race, though? Belin's trying to keep up with Columbus in basketball. Really? Interesting. They have a good team. My Pace High School was ahead of the curb because, you know, we were the first to have like, I don't know, all the races in the one school.

Now everybody else has followed suit. Well, Palaka will do that. Yeah. Yeah. Bobby, I can't believe what happened to you in that game. Nobody can believe what an upset that was. Cody, what level of stunder you that my father among us that Dio Zazz, killed his ass kicked Bobby's ass. I know.

I think it's the seat. I swung on a me a couple of times. That's all. You're the whiffer, buddy. I'm the whiffer. That's right. Do you remember the weifer? So this, yes, my father would call Jean-Carlo Stanton the whiffer when it was only the three of us on an elevator.

But I will tell you a story from the other day that my father revealed to me that I was not aware of that he rekindled a really funny childhood memory, Bobby. What was the name of the double reverse with a pass that we ran for your offense in the huddle? What would that play be called? The Cucci Cucci with the Keys. That's also incorrect. That's his play. That would have been quite a name. It's the Hoochie Coochee with a kiss.

What, like Charo? It is not the Cucci Cucci with a kiss. I would never use you as a cultural appropriation to exploit your Cuban for my uses. I would never do that. Zazlo, congratulations on you and Sedano winning the game show. Where? Oye. Oh, yeah.

Papi, Pankong pinga, you missed that. What happened? Pank on timba. Bobby. Might have aged out of Domino. Pankong pinga. Oh, I thought that was the difference. The genuine shock on his face.

Don Lebertard. I ain't never met nobody in the world. That's the hate on blue. Great nomination. Like, who don't like blues? Clues, bro. If you don't like blues clues, you're a loser. Stugats. Look, you get one paw print. That's the first clue.

You put it in a notebook. Now what do you do? Blues, clues, blues, clues. Sit on the chair and think about it. This is the Don Labarthur show with the Stugats. I played for the Dolphins. This is a, well, not just the dolphins. Maybe we introduced him as a former king first. Thank you. Bryant McKinney, yes.

I don't think he ever allowed a sack at the University of Miami. I don't think in practice either. I know it wasn't. I know he never allowed a sack. Tis the legend. But I don't think he's allowed one in practice either. Mike, I've never associated University of Miami with offensive line play. It's Leon Searcy.

It's Bryant McKinney. You never did? I mean, the one in 01 was pretty great. He just said, why is he here to Jeremy? We say that daily, pal. Yeah. You don't know what to do right now. Don't worry about it.

I don't know what to do. I'm a little bit panicked. Yes, it's nice to see him. You think I have it wrong, though, Mike, when I say I don't associate generally the University of Miami with producing first-round offensive linemen like Bryant-McKennie? Well, that's not what you said. You said that you don't necessarily associate offensive line play for the University of Miami. Now, if you've only been watching for the last 20-some odd years, I kind of understand where you're coming from very few high draft picks.

but when this program was rolling back in the day, when Mario was either in those trenches or helping bring some of those guys in the trench along, Bryant can speak to it plenty. That early 2000s offensive line was something special, and this is probably the closest thing we've had since then. Oh, absolutely. I think Mario has done a great job, him and Maribald.

Bringing in bigger guys who are athletic, who can move and who can block and who can run block, past protect. So I feel like this is the closest thing that we've seen in a while. And what do you make of it? I don't know how you watch the football games. When you watch football games, are you watching them like a fan? Are you watching to see what the right guard is doing? I kind of watch it. I watch the line first. And I see who is getting off the ball, see if there's a misassignment, because I can tell.

There's a lack of communication somewhere. So I'm watching it kind of more of as a player first. And then once we get into the secondary with a running back or something, I'm watching as a So how are you watching it, though, on the offensive line? When you see what Miami has done, I didn't have before all of this started, oh, really? Miami's going to try and reinvent the game by just having the toughest team in the trenches. It makes sense with their coach, but that's not how a lot of people are doing it. Right, but I feel like I've always said this, that the trenches, so far as the offensive line, they are like the motor.

You can't go anywhere without the motor. The quarterback is the driver, receiver, tight-in, the running back or the wheel. So everything starts out with the motor. They've got to get the engine going first, and then we can move forward. So getting those big guys to be able to move, and you see they're getting like four or five yards per carry, and they're able to control the time of possession. That's big for us. Can I ask a favor of you?

Can I ask you to stand up just so that people can see the size disparity between you and Jeremy? You did ask when you came in here, why is he here? He does have on the Indian. He does have on the end of the show. I do. What's going on? Doing a thing. What you mean you're doing?

No, wait a minute. You're not afraid. Oh, my God. Look at what you're looking at it. Jeremy. Look at what's happening. Jeremy. Guy, you can't.

You can't. Hold on. Pick him up for real. I'm like jumping. Minor penalty. Two, he's explaining the show. Oh, no.

Oh, no. You can just go ahead and drop them. This is insane. You're doing a thing. You're not supposed to be doing a thing. I mean, I do love Fernando Mendoza. That guy rocks. He's just like me.

Brian, when you're watching these games, and I tell you, Miami has a, I want you to stand up again, a 50 pound advantage. What does that mean? An average 50 pound advantage, I think Indiana probably had something like that. Most games in his pair just fine. Right. I just feel like with as far as the weight advantages, on run blocking, I feel like it should be more of our favor to be able to drive these guys off the ball. and then just keep leaning and wearing tan on guys after a while, about the fourth quarter, they should get a little tired. There must have been games when you were playing at the U where you look across the line of scrimmage. You're big and you look at the other guy like, what is this?

Right? Some guys, if they were like, you know, a freshman, that was my senior year or something like that kind of. Well, but hold on. So Dwight, I remember the game. Dwight Frini got caught in your belly button all the game. You had never allowed a sack and still haven't allowed a sack. But is the legend true that you never allowed one in practice either?

That seems like... That's true. And you would definitely somebody from practice and somebody would have stepped up and said, well, I got one, you know, so nobody's ever said that. And they won't. Did you ever hold it practice because you were close to give one up and you're like, I can't?

I don't know. Like, that's not something. I would want to remember. I don't know, but... But that's not lore. Like, that seems to be, if I were to wander around and say, give me an impressive statistic from the history of University of Miami football,

any statistic you like. Bryant McKinney never allowed a sack in a game or at practice playing against... Sounds good. No, but playing... Yeah, give us some of the names. Who was lined up against you in practice? You had Jamal Green. You had Andrew Williams.

I think Quincy Hips was over there like in my earlier years. McDougal. Yeah, McDougal will come over every once. He played on the other side. But when I had like a Dwight Friend and somebody had a good get-off, so I would ask McDougal to come over and practice his get-offs on me. All right, McKinney, I've done a dangerous thing here. Juju, I've done a dangerous thing.

thing here. I have allowed Tony to pick out my outfit for the live stream on Monday. We are doing the entire week building up to the live stream on Monday. So Juju, it's a terrible decision. I remember one time many, many, many years ago, Booghambi allowed me to pick his Halloween costume. And so a ginger was in a giant heart and it was embarrassing to him. And he'll never make that mistake again. I've aired terribly in allowing Tony to make my outfit for for Monday night. Have I not, Juju? I don't know. Stay tuned. I got to see what my boy working with right now because I heard satin was in play. So if it's some satin in play, I think we got a winner.

All right, let's see what we've got here. Let's go out to Tony. McKinney, you please help me and tell me whether I can pull this off in any way, pull off this outfit on Monday night. It's the most Cuban game ever played, and Tony has picked out my outfit. So what do you have, Tony? Hey, Dano. Shout out to Juju. Shout out to B.M. in the back. Thank you for putting Jeremy in a headlock. You're actually lucky because if I would have let Rose pick your

outfit, you would look like Craig Sager and it would have looked terrible. So this is not, she keeps holding this thing up. Rest and piece of Craig Sager, by the way. She keeps holding this up. This is not what we're doing here. But, Fidel here at Havana Collection did allow me to have a little bit of some Bacetto rum. Extra aniajo, $500 a bottle here.

So we're going to sip this as we go. They're taking care of you, Tony. Yes, sir. Smooth. But you know how we do, Dan. When you, when you love the city, when you love the city, the city loves you back, Dan. Remember that. All right. All right.

So this is what we're going with. This is what we're going with. First, we'll go from the bottom up. These are the shoes you're wearing right here. Look at this. Look at this style on this. Look at that. Giovanni shoes, all right?

Wood bottom. I was surprised when I heard your shoe size, by the way. Wood bottom, hard. Small. Yeah, small. Yeah, small. Small, small. Yeah, for a minute.

And what I heard, what I heard was. 10 and a half. Oh, really? What I heard was 10 and a half. Yeah, I was like, wait, Dan, I was like, there's no wait Dan to 10 and a half. Run that again. They're like, I'm a 14. No, no, no, for sure. 14 I am. Big poker. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure, what size shoe are you? All right, so that's the shoe. 18. Oh, my God. He's a size 18 shoe. That's like two of shoes, Dan's shoes put together. All right, Dan, so the bottom, here are the pants right here. Look at these day. Oh, right? Stylish right here with this

baby blue. And then we're going to put this shirt on top. Oh, that's nice. With a nice, the feel of this is crazy. Tony, I thought for sure you were going to dress me as a clown. People are going to say this is going to be, that this should be my look. Why would I trust you as a clown? It should be your look. Why would I dress you as a clown?

I can't believe how loving that outfit is. Now, I'm not going to be able to pull it off, but my guess is you're going to actually make me look good. There's the hat. Yeah, that's a good. Look at the hat. Look at the hat. Look at that. Look at that.

With these shoes on, with some with some tan socks on you need. Dan, you're looking. Dan, nobody's going to be better. dressed than you. They're going to come to you and be like, whoa, how did you put all this together? This is incredible. And then you're going to say, yeah, man, I just love the city. The city loves me back. They gave me all this for free. All right. I need a makeover. McKinney.

So explain, thank you. Tony, excellent. Bring that over. I'm looking forward to enjoying this with you guys on Monday night. Go ahead and buy that. Can we expense the $500 bottle of a but settle rum or no? Yeah, go ahead. Bring that over here for Monday. For Monday night. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

For Monday. For Monday. We're going to be doing a big party on Monday night. Look, McKinney can tell you some of the stories. McKinney is not a shame to tell you about the money spent on bottles during the Super Bowl. I don't imagine, right? So he would admire a man who buys some liquor. Am I going to look okay, Brian? Because I need your help in reinventing myself.

Some people in Miami are mad at me. They're saying that my journal... Mike, explain what it is that I've done wrong, that we need Bryant-McKinney's help to endorse me because Miami's mad at me. Cuban Miami's mad at me. Dan's not caping up for the canes way that he would cape up for a Pat Riley team. I guess he needs Pat Riley to dump his head in an ice bucket for this team to resonate. And a lot of Miami people in the streets are like, Dan forgot about us. He doesn't

cape up for us the way that he does for the other teams. Well, I think he did a good job. Maybe I would change the shoe color. Yeah, but I mean, other than that, I like the outfit and the hat is it going? What shoes would you go with? Tony, would you be willing to take some advice from Bryant on the shoe or maybe get two pairs of shoes or am I insulted you right now? I can. Am I insulting you by offering? See, here's the thing, Brian. You can't go black. No, respect to Brian, okay, loved you as a cane, loved you in the NFL.

But the problem is you can't wear a black shoe with the Navy and the baby blue. You can't do that. That doesn't work that way. That color scheme does not work. We go to white shoe. White shoe is better. Okay. Let me see.

He doesn't like the shoe. White shoes a little bit. Pops Witherspoon. Dan's a younger guy. Yeah. John Roodismundersmo. Right. There's a thin line between Cuban and Pops witherspoon.

Yeah, coordinate. We could do some of these right here. Do we like this one better? Ooh. It's your, Brian, we're in here with you. Brian, can I see it next to the night? Yeah, look, we are allowing you to pick my shoes for the Monday Night Watch Party. And Tony, thank you for doing this for Brian, but thank you for helping him as well,

because I don't want to be embarrassed. I want to look good. Exactly right. So here's the two collections of the shoes, right? That looks better. Yeah. It's a bit of, really. That's a better one.

He's right. And by better we mean. Can I see it with the hat? Can I see it with the hat next? There you go. Nice and right. I'm team brown. You're right.

I'm the two is a bit of option. Who's team brown? Yeah. Not me. My issue is that this color is a little more cream than white, right? So this I think matches a little bit better. All right. Juju, final vote.

You're good? Yeah, I'm with it. I'm with the team. Lock it in. All right. They're dressing me up. Tony, thank you for the work. We'll see you again tomorrow.

We're going to get to Juju here in a second and Thursday. Thunder and a number of other things. But, Brian, I did want some more of your insights here because you have something in the way of real expertise. When you see Fletcher run, you know what good running backs look like. When you see this offensive line play the way that it does, I've never seen, obviously, I've never seen a Miami team do the seven-yard rugby scrubs down the field. But I've also never seen University of Miami team led by the size and toughness. of its offensive line. We want to control the game. Yeah, there are any number of things that we want

to happen in this game, but one of the things that we want is our identity is our coach insists on, we're going to play from second and three because we're going to take seven yards from you, even though you know we're going to take seven yards from you on a run. So when you look at Fletcher running with that offensive line, what are you seeing? I'm saying, one, a patient

running back because I feel like he allows things to develop, but two, he gives a lot of effort, second effort, too. He breaks the first tackle when he's able to get to the secondary So I like seeing it. And the O-line is downfield. Still just knocking people out the way.

Brian, I'm sure a lot of people want to ask you about Markell Bell because of the dimensions and the sheer mass of you two. Markle, in Cuban Spanish, there was saying, Grande Pugusto. This was a guy that was in. Ronde's big. Yeah. Yeah, but Grande Poguzo usually means big for nothing. We usually see, and that's not what Markell Bell is. But Markele.

Yeah, neither you. Markle Bell was a guy, even though he's six foot nine. and looking as huge as he does, he was a guy that came over from junior college. So how difficult is it? I know a lot of people think mass kicks ass and it definitely does, but there's a lot of technique involved. How much more difficult for big guys like you is it to hone in on the technique from a coaching perspective?

Yeah, so big guys, you're tall, but some people can get under you and have a little more leverage. Low man wins. Yeah, so you have to know your points. You have to have knee bend, you have to know hand position, things like that. So as you get older and the more you do it, you'll realize, putting your hands in certain places to give you more leverage and power

and you look stronger than what you actually are just because you know how to move people. So sometimes people don't, it's not about moving a lot of ways to just know how to move a person's body and I feel like he's getting good at it. You could be at the game Monday?

So they told me yesterday, say, hey, we're working on your tickets. So, you know, I was patient. You know, the group chat was going crazy. So I just stayed quiet and I just waited and luckily I got a call yesterday and say, hey, we're working on your ticket. Who's being the most impatient right now in the group chat?

there's a few people it's a few people because Rom dog A lot of people feel like He's definitely one of the candidates You know A lot of guys just feel like Like a lot of guys just feel like you know

We were part of that great team And just felt like we should be in there But I understand that The college football is the ones Who's over the tickets and everything So it's like you can't really blame the university You just have to kind of be patient To see what comes about

We're going to go to Juju now I've never known a hurricane Of the excellence of your caliber to concede too much respect to someone who came after him in a way that would suggest that that person could beat him. But if Ruben Bain played his prime years against Bryant McKinney in practice, would Bryant McKinney have allowed a single sack in a hurricane practice over his entire time practicing for the hurricanes?

But Roman Bain, he's like a DTackle, right? They move him around. Yeah, but mainly DTeckel. With his limited amount of attempts to go at a defensive end, I doubt it. Because he's more inside. What about Mesidor? Yeah, Mesodore.

No. Oh, there you go. That's it. Very. You're trying to put Ruben at D-Tackle even more. So he didn't have to answer that question. We all saw what was happening. Thank you, Brian.

Appreciate spending time with you. I saw what he was doing with the Ruben thing. Yeah, that's about the highest praise. Look, these canes begrudgingly give the respect to the people. people. That's about as high as Ruben's going to get. He won't put Rubin on the edge nearly as much. So he doesn't have to answer that question. We got highs. We know we're fours lined up.
