Starting point is 00:00:48 I know. He's sticking around. I thought special agent Bajant was gonna be like the most obscure QB of this year, but... It doesn't happen often, and I feel like it's happened more times than any in previous history where I just flat out am learning of someone's existence as they come into play the most important position in sports. It's a year unlike any other. Easton stick apparently threw a pass in 2020 news to me. I saw a dude come running on to the field by the name of Easton stick and he wasn't a hockey player or a porn star.
Starting point is 00:01:24 It should be a lax player. He was playing quarterback. How did I not know that this was the insurance policy behind Justin Herbert? No, I like playing this game. I'm not even kidding you. It happened to me like two or three times yesterday where I'm like, huh, Mullins, they're back up quarterback or McCarran. There's, oh, there's AJ McCarran. He I didn't know he was there
Starting point is 00:01:46 Cincinnati they've gotten down to their fifth one like the others don't have legs and one of them Such as totally chewed up in a hospital bed, but they got I think AJ McCarran's gonna play quarterback now I think people were watching not knowing that AJ McCarran had gone to the XFL and even left Cincinnati Her people that probably just assumed he's been there the whole time. And Nick Mullins is always hanging around, Dan. He always is, right? As long as there's an NFL, there will be a Nick Mullins. I'm convinced. Jeremy, can you give me some information
Starting point is 00:02:13 about Eastern Wick, please? Yeah, you got it. I'll get there in one second. Eastern stick. Stick. I'm sorry. Oh my god. That's a fine hold on.
Starting point is 00:02:22 You know, he was the quarterback at North Dakota state between Carson, Wenson, Trey Lance. Hmm. Quite the program there god. That's a fine. Hold on. You know, he was the quarterback at North Dakota State between Carson, Wednesday and Tray Lance. Hmm. Quite the program there. They've had a run. Didn't the quarterback you didn't the North Dakota State head coach just leave for USC to become an assistant. All of a sudden I think you're going to see a linebackers coach. A head coach left his job to become an assistant elsewhere. Yeah. You're going to see a lot of linebackers coach. Hmm. A lot of that. In fact, like. A lot of that. In fact, like,
Starting point is 00:02:45 We did play off to it. Two years ago, when the hurricanes were looking for an offensive coordinator, there were serious negotiations with Jason Candle, who is the headman over at Toledo. I think in the modern age of college football, the staff numbers that are being thrown out there have to eclipse even the NFL that you almost have to take the sum of these. What is perceived as a step down? Just to go as we analyze all of this stuff, right? All of these super competitive people in a salary cap age, they are fighting over inches that we yell at the referee
Starting point is 00:03:16 for not spotting correctly. And all of the decisions that you're seeing made on Sunday. Again, yesterday was not a good day with a lot of close games, but there are many close games in that sport. Chris Cody, I thought of you yesterday because during one of the three exciting games that there were, I thought that there was a call in the modern age, modern age, given everything that's happening
Starting point is 00:03:40 with the refereeing and that would happen later in the Kansas City game. I thought I heard one of the great calls of all time with Raven fans hearing what I believe to be some of the sweetest, sweetest words you can ever hear as punctuation as a broadcast before the broadcaster backs off and allows crowd noise to do the speaking for him. That Ravens game ended whatever it was, 3731 on a punt return with a dude, the backup punt returner like staggering down the sidelines. You see him almost fall and the, I believe it should replace, do you believe in miracles?
Starting point is 00:04:23 Given where we are today. There are! No! Flags! Because I fully expected one to drop on the field. Hold on, hold on, hold on. We're all looking around. Yeah, but block in the back.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Everybody was looking around. Tell them it's everybody's looking. That little yellow box is going to come up and ruin all of this, right? So, somebody twers, this 700 yards from the play, you know put a hand in a face mask Nope the announcer get I believe that that should be come the new do you believe in miracles? It's worthy legal. It's worthy of celebration Absolutely and absolutely totally legal play Codori canary is toadie was not off sides by a toe
Starting point is 00:05:07 uh... i love shenan sharp today saying canary is toadie rob does of one of the great plays in nfl history he scored the touchdown he robbed himself that's what he does for himself robbed everybody robbed man kind robbed uh... yes the entire country. Tony is, he is by the water. Tony is looking right now. I would say like he is soaked in sultry look good man. He is a f***ing idiot. The Criot. The Criot shrugged you up. Because he knows he looks good.
Starting point is 00:05:51 The dork. I mean, I mean, the Criot team looks good on him. He is not phased by Billy's defense against him at all turns tony are you ready for your top five what is happening out there where are you last time you were by the water you don't understand okay because we are an international show the rest of the country is suffering from winter the fact that you can do this is an envy across the land and across the continent and across the globe you are where with whom?
Starting point is 00:06:27 Right now, Dano, I am outside on the bay right here as you look over my shoulder. We're hopefully gonna rent this teaky hut boat. I wasn't even scheduled to be on today. And obviously we've got the Miller Light contest winners Michael and the boys. So I had to show them out like a good time. That's what they call me to make sure
Starting point is 00:06:43 that everybody's got a good time here So we're gonna bring in the boys to have Tony's top five, but we're gonna try there's actually no captain here on the Tiki Hub boat so after the top five I might just take out the boat myself Okay, so we're just gonna figure that out in a second boats are free to start off the proceedings Are you so wait a minute? You're saying that you're gonna go out and that as soon as you guys are done here the five of you are gonna go party on the bay You're gonna go out and that as soon as you guys are done here the five of you are gonna go party on the bay Yeah, that's that's what it's looking like That's what it's looking like dano no captain. They're not watching. I'm in. Hey guys doing time now for Tony's Tony's top five
Starting point is 00:07:18 Observation any OLI you're getting right to it Two OLI's today, Dano. Let's do it. The Jets really are a QB away. They really are. That defense is really good. They shut down Paulie, one of the best young quarterbacks in the league and made him look the entire offense. I'll be it, they're missing a lot of people. Made that offense look really bad.
Starting point is 00:07:41 The Jets, if they had a good quarterback, this team would be going to the Super Bowl. Okay, but Dal was pretty important. Yeah. Yeah, and so is Niko Collins, so is Dalton Schultz. So is her quarterback, so is CJ Strauss. Yes, all of that, yeah. All the carnage. Some qualifiers.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yes. There were tonsils heard, I think. Yeah, getting unhealthy at the run. There's a lot of people. He's so wet about that. Go, go play trick, go, go. There's a lot of people. He's so right about that. Go, go play Trent Williams now. Play an extra game this season.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Go, yeah, yeah, yeah, good luck. Good luck. Go play Trent Williams. So absurd. Oh, lie number two. Can you guys imagine how good Kyle Pits would be if he wasn't in Atlanta? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Just everybody, take a moment to think if he was not handcuffed to the Atlanta Falcons in Arthur Smith and Desmond Ritter who sucks. How good Kyle Pits would be. Imagine if he was on any other team. Just just pick a team. Other than that. Caroline, I think you'd be the number one type in Caroline. He was actually good with the Falcons when Matt Ryan played Gordard Back. That's correct. What's Tony on the Desmond Ritter bandwagon at some point. Yes. Calpitz has never been good. Well, it's Florida. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but he's always been disappointing in Florida. I can't wait to find out if Tony loves any of the six quarterbacks we were introducing.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Well, we're about to find out. I'm sure he has. He is the, he is always the one falling in love with the new quarterback. Number five. Number five, Dan O'Lasnight, the nation as a whole, was introduced to a man playing at the peak of the sport, the peak at his position. His name, Brandon Aubrey.
Starting point is 00:09:20 He's got a leg. That guy is good. Go Irish. Notre Dame stand up. Yeah. Go M O good. Go Irish. Notre Dame stand up. Yeah. Go M O I N. Have you seen a kicker be that good? I'm not.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Quickly that early? 70 yards. I mean, you can hit one from 70 yards away. Number four. There's a miss. He's Steph Curry. He's Steph Curry, Dano. Number four.
Starting point is 00:09:39 The Josh Dobbs thing was fun, right? What it lasted was fun. You fell in love with him. He's one of the guys you fell in love with. Yeah, Keter for 16 or whatever it was. 63 yards getting bench for Nick Mullins. Not good. How are our contest winners doing?
Starting point is 00:09:55 Just just vibe out next to you. Is it awkward for them yet? They're chillin' that. No, not awkward at all. The boys are loving it. Tony asked. The boys are loving it. They're agreeing with all of the plays.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Tony asked one of them.. Tony asked one of them, I just asked one of it, can you ask one of them how he has felt about his experience so far mingling about the show? Yeah, my boy right here, how have you felt so far? What's your boy right there's name? I dare you.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Josh, is it Josh? Elliot, I was close. Oh, that's so bad. I had Josh dobs on the brink that's why it's Josh dobs. Tomato tomato go ahead. Number three Jack for MVP. Jack for MVP can you really? You you yes we hear you yes we hear you back for MVP universe whispers before it shouts back for MVP just something to just something to keep them back your mind man those those Brock party prices keep dropping it looks like Brock
Starting point is 00:10:59 party's gonna be the MVP so great should be to rekill. And we're all like, is it good? Do we know? We should. We need to be leading in every pass. I know. I know. I know. I know. A brief. A brief. Yeah, but come on. Duttle Bear. A bit of analysis. With regards to Brock Curry in the MVP. Yeah, yeah. Guys, you can ask a couple people that were around in Merrimon Thursday night I could do that with if I was Brock party Those weapons give me break. Well not not I'm and you lost us Tony Jimmy Garoppolo couldn't do it. That's correct and and you and you
Starting point is 00:11:36 You are tried on at FIU and they didn't even hand you a football you only That was a scam though. They didn't give me a ball That was like though the number two overall draft pick couldn't do it for that but Brock pretty can that guy sucks to okay I said you got a clipboard I can do the same thing with trade lenses I can do the same thing trade lenses doing easily more sand on a clipboard sit behind an MVP guy and not not worry about it I can do that okay again Tony a fairness to him then they didn't give him the ball. How's he supposed to prove himself, that mean?
Starting point is 00:12:05 I know, Tony, at FIU, when he was walking on or trying out, they had him throw passes, but did not give him a ball. He did drills with an imaginary football. Tony, where are we in the list? We have less than a minute left. We're at number one, Dano. Yeah, maybe it was the right call on paper for the nerds and dorks everywhere.
Starting point is 00:12:28 But we were all robbed of a moment yesterday in the bills and chiefs game. Not only were we robbed of an incredible touchdown, Travis Kelsey throwing it to Guderia's Tony, we were robbed of Josh Allen having a moment for himself to come out and score touchdown and win the game in the final seconds of that game. Again, we've got some amazing plays between the Chiefs and the Bills Throughout history this was one of those moments again and we were robbed of it But of course Billy the Dorx Cougs probably all the dorks that love the rules and the C-Bros No, he was right his toe was off on about three three milliliters. It gave me a break
Starting point is 00:13:00 We were robbed of a moment last night. That's it. We're going to the Tiki boat. Get on the boat. I don't love going. You're the captain now. I don't know why Cougs took a stray there. He's got the millers. Thank you. Go have fun Tony. I'm pretty sure that you skipped number two. I'm going to think that it's an editorial decision and it's not that you're bad at math. Thank you. Let me see here. I think Josh Elliott gave it hold on. Let's see if he did number two Close it. No number two was I was whispering Dak for MVP. That was
Starting point is 00:13:34 Three which I thought that's three. Okay, it's okay. Oh number three. I missed number three I knew I missed something Done lebertard Good luck today boy, if you know him the way I know growing up Everyone knows a clone boy. I come in peace. Don't do that. You just embarrassed me so much. Stugats! Okay guys Nick Jonas is walking this way. Can we get him to say what's up? I know exactly what I'm gonna say.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I'm gonna say that. I'm gonna say that. I'm gonna say that. Do we have trolls? Yeah, we're gonna get, we're gonna get partly. Hey what's up Nick? Good luck today, that shot on 18, my god. Now, whoo.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Tall. You made it. That's how you embarrassed us. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna say. This is the Don Limiter, that's right. Holy. This is the Don Lebatar Show with this two-gots. I am staring right now at one Jessica Smetana and she is one scroll away right now. I saw it.
Starting point is 00:14:40 One scroll away, two-gots. I can't believe it. I'm starting a segment and she's in her phone. One physical scroll away from becoming a boomer. She is gonna get to boomer status. She's a young person. She's in the moment. She's uh, she's a young person in the moment who's about to fall out of the moment by becoming an old person. You're very young, Jessica, very young. I was younger before I started working here, Dan O.
Starting point is 00:15:09 You're so... Is everyone calling Dan O today? What is going on with this? A little bit of a thing that we do. We like to have fun. I joined Facebook this week. What? What?
Starting point is 00:15:20 Why? Because people have been telling me for months that the best thing about Facebook is Facebook Marketplace. Is the best place to buy and sell lightly, gently use things. And so I said, okay, I have a few things that I, are nice that I want to sell, that I don't want to throw away.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Someone could use these. I'm going to join Facebook and get on Facebook Marketplace and see what, see what the big deal is about. So I made myself a little Facebook account. I used to have one like many moons ago that I don't think I've used in a long time because Facebook has become overridden with boomer memes and immediately was assaulted with, and this account that I made does not follow anyone not friends with anyone just the most unhinged pixelated memes you've ever seen are now on this page when I open up my new Facebook account it is absolutely bananas I can see why the
Starting point is 00:16:15 older adults of America are being radicalized left and right and then I went on oh and now my Facebook accounts have suspended apparently I just went to go look at Facebook marketplace to prove my point because Facebook Marketplace in Miami is a weird, weird, weird place. What is your due to getting paid? What did you do? I don't know. I mean, I sent a nasty message to someone on the Joe Rogan fan podcast Facebook group,
Starting point is 00:16:41 but I didn't know I get suspended for that. But no, I went on Marketplace yesterday and it's like, here's a car, here's an apartment, here's a used pair of jeans. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. And they all cost $1,000. I will tell you that something strange that has happened in my life, I am going right back into the 1950s, very often, walking to a post office because my wife, this is in loving service of making my wife happy
Starting point is 00:17:12 wherever I can, no matter how little time I have, I am often walking into the 1950s, into a post office to mail something that she has sold for $39. Right. And she loves a bargain. And she loves you walking to the post office. Well, I just can't tell you the number of boxes that I'm telling you. Well, she loves not only a bargain,
Starting point is 00:17:38 but she also doesn't want to be wasteful. And so she likes having things that are good and not just throwing them out. And if people, they're nice things, people can get them cheap. She helps somebody on the internet. She spreads the bargain. The problem is that I'm just going to the post office a lot. And it's not a great deal of-
Starting point is 00:18:00 It's tedious. Reselling stuff is very tedious. There's also this new phenomenon called by nothing. These groups on Facebook called by nothing groups. And I think they also have an app now. I have never used this, but I've heard incredible things from people that do use them in New York. And you go on this thing and everything's free, I think.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And you just post like, hey, I have this broken toaster. And someone will be like, oh, I actually, I need a broken toe. I'm gonna come pick that up. And then you just kind of, like you know, bar have this broken toaster. And someone will be like, oh, I actually, I need a broken toe, I'm gonna come pick that up. And then you just, it's very popular. Like, you know, barter things on this app. And so it's for people that don't wanna be, you know, wasteful and go buy something brand new.
Starting point is 00:18:33 So they'll maybe get a used thing from someone else. You need to be careful with those because when my daughter had her first birthday, there was supposed to be a tropical storm. So we had to cancel the party. And then we didn't have the party. So my wife had like these backgrounds that were made, because it's our first birthday party.
Starting point is 00:18:50 So it was like, there's this big turtle, and there's this, and there's that. And she's like, what am I supposed to do with this eight-foot balloon arch? Like we had to cancel the party, we can't do anything. We took like two pictures, and she like put it on one of those, thinking like, oh, all, you know, someone that can use this for their kids upcoming party can use this. I'm not gonna charge them, like, what's the point? And then, like, a truck was sent to pick it up and it was someone who has a party business
Starting point is 00:19:13 who came and claimed all of these things. That is smart, yeah. And then, like, was going to resell them and we thought that we were giving this to, like, a nice family or whatever that could use these things for free and it ended up being some whatever that could use these things for free, and it ended up being some scammer who was taking them for free from us for their business.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Now, explain this marketplace to me because I bought the wrong size windshield wipers. Well, I shouldn't say I bought the wrong size windshield wipers. I bought windshield wipers, but they don't have the right connection for the car that I have, which is very odd. I don't know why Raynex would make windshield wipers that don't fit the standard car,
Starting point is 00:19:50 but this may be more of a Mazda situation, not to name names, but I lost the receipt because I bought them some time ago, so I can't return them. So what do I do with said windshield wipers? How do I make sure that I can get these windshield, because I'm not looking to turn a profit, guys. That's not what I'm here for.
Starting point is 00:20:05 But I like to make my money back if possible. Because now I have to go and buy another set of winchill wipers for my wife's car. I mean, I don't think you'll make your money back on this app by nothing, but someone will definitely take that. No, no, no, no, guys, this is by something. It's by winchill wipers.
Starting point is 00:20:19 There's no buy nothing that we learned this after the party. No more buy nothing, okay? Because scammers are coming and they're taking things. You just want your money back, no profit. Yeah, no profit and I'll tell you right now, I buy this DJ so they were already on sale. So you know what, I'll give you the price that I paid for them and they're on sale to you without the DJ's membership.
Starting point is 00:20:37 You are being iron fisted and getting some success around here. That's simple Dan, what do you want me to do? I'm liking you. That's simple. I'm liking your strengthening here. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man.
Starting point is 00:20:47 That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man.
Starting point is 00:20:55 That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man.
Starting point is 00:21:03 That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a not great. And then he had a light that was put in there. And I gently asked, as we were talking about, gently used, I gently asked if we could elevate it to him actually starting a fire on his head because he left the lamp on because that'd be a fun visual guy. It would be fun.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And he said no. Okay, Jeremy, go sit in the penalty box for not allowing us to set it to one five minutes. I'm setting yourself on fire. Five minutes for not it to one five minutes for not setting yourself on fire. Five minutes for not on behalf of the show, just setting yourself on fire because Billy wanted it. So, Dan, a couple of things here. It's never been easier.
Starting point is 00:21:33 It's never been, there's never been a better time to go to the post office. Like, I imagine, right? Put it on the pole at Labatard show, has there ever been a better time to go to the post office? There's never anyone there to go. And the people who are there are doing exactly what I'm doing. It's just returns.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Right. So I figure it's a breeze, nice little walk, cathartic for you, almost. Get to think a little bit. Yeah. And walk straight into the 1950s. Right. And then I'm assuming that most people listening to this don't know how much a stamp is these days.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I'm assuming. I might have to. Can you tell us? I, uh, well, I just put it on a card. So I don't know either. Yeah. Gotcha. And I also, and I also just go with whatever, like you have to imagine, I've got all these
Starting point is 00:22:17 boxes. And so I'm making my way in to, to the place. I hope I get myself to the level of success where you go to the post office, and you're like, I don't care how much of stamps are. Put it on my car. I'm making $39 at a time. You can charge me whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:22:33 It's costing me more to get there and buy the stuff that I need. But in this case, I go due to flee with the receipts that allowed just the things to be sent where they are, and very often I don't have to actually buy stamps. But back in the 50s, when everyone was actually going to the post office, that would take all day. And so I'm saying this has to be an in and out mission for you.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I don't think the post office was ever in the post. Oh, are you kidding me? It was buzzing back in the 50s and 60s. Even the 80s. I mean, the 50s and 60s, like were you even born yet? No, no, it was born in 72. So put holiday elves forever stamps are 66 cents. We're up to 66 stamps for a stamp now.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Put it on the whole stamp. All set, is 66 cents too much for a stamp. I thought we were by like, I knew it was 39 at one point. I thought we were maybe like 42, 46, 66. Yeah, it seems like a lot. The other thing I was gonna tell you is you should sign some of these items to increase the value. That's what I'm thinking. Billy same with you like a dress
Starting point is 00:23:27 I don't think you Adam think dance wifers selling things that people would want Dan's autograph I mean imagine a sign pair of jeans by Dan Levitort. I mean that's something I would buy. He's aren't listeners of the show We actually have today Our event you can go check out our event at Dolphin Mall, Vivo, Dolphin Mall. And we have- Tell the people again just real quick because we do not do this and I've told you before we're not doing mass this year. There's been a lot going on so the only time we're going to meet and greet people this year where we actually- and we do like doing this. We like meeting our
Starting point is 00:24:00 fans except for Mike and all of us go with enthusiasm to these things as part of like we're really appreciative that we get to do this. I wanna meet the shit outta you. What? So I'm saying like I wanna meet the shit out of these people. Why that, expression. Cause I wanna, you wanna meet them
Starting point is 00:24:17 and then they shit on the floor. Like we're not just gonna meet them, we're gonna meet the shit out of them. Right. Talk about some, talk about some dollar shave, love and some middle light for that. We wanna meet them till they poop.
Starting point is 00:24:25 That's what he's saying, yeah. Accurate. Well, we're any floor? We're giving out shirts and we have things that we can, I believe we're giving out shirts. I don't know if I'm supposed to say that, but I think that we have things that we're going to be giving out. And the thing is, they're black shirts,
Starting point is 00:24:36 but I was going to go and sign all of them black sharpie anyway. And then everyone would be getting an autographed shirt and not even know that it was autographed. What do you think about that? If that doesn't get you out there. That's tonight. I've got some bad news, by the way. I know we were all hoping for the against the spread pay off today.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But you're not going to believe what happened. What? We've got a five-way tie. Five-year. Headed into this one says tie breaking edition of a guest. The Spree. It's to God something happened yesterday that I thought was funny. The bears are on Detroit's 38 yard line.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And by the way, that's exactly how Jared Jared golf is going to lose in the playoffs. The bears have if he gets there. Fourth he's going to get there. There are a lot of bad teams. He's going to get there. We'll see. Here come the backers. Fourth and 13 stugots at the 38.
Starting point is 00:25:39 So that's real no man's land. Like you got a punt there. What do you can do? Like no, we're all going for it on four down? Nope, the bears say they're going for it. And this happened twice yesterday for somebody. And a Detroit lion on fourth and third team from the 38 jumps off side, a free play, DJ Moore touched out.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And if you're a Detroit lion's fan who has lost for 50 years, And if you're a Detroit Lions fan who is lost for 50 years, you wanted to disembowel that player. Don Lebatard. Tony, kids, you don't really realize how much time it just adds to your day and how little they bring to the table. They bring nothing to the table. Yeah, nothing to the table. In fact, you had to bring the table all the time. It's a client to them.
Starting point is 00:26:26 But I wanted to go to Flanagan's before you know what I would do. I grabbed my keys, I had hopped my car. Now there's seven different bags you got to take a picture. 35 minutes ago to Flanagan. I'm still got something. Move everything around. All of a sudden you can't leave knives everywhere like I'm used to. Put it on the pole gear.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I'm on a lebitard show. pole gear, Moat Levitard show, is there anything lazier than an infant? This is the Don Levitard show with this two-gats. I don't know if I can do Tony's top five, as well as Tony does his top five. I've only left out three. Yeah, but I think he's still, he's so good at it that I think he's still better than me.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I'm going to try though. All I've been able to do is put together a top three from yesterday in football. Really? Yeah, and I don't know. Like I said, this is tough to do. And Tony does it. I think Tony does top five football observations
Starting point is 00:27:24 better than anyone in any market doing top five football observations, even though today he only did four because he forgot number three. Yes. But I've got number three here, are you ready? Yeah. I'm practicing, so be forgiving. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:39 These are football observations. Yeah, from yesterday. But I don't know how to do this. I'm admitting on the front end that this is. is well you're doing something called a top five with three So I'm just learning babies a three and only three. Yes, well this old game bring it back This is that's your game. I don't want to steal that from you But this is just training wheels so that one day you can have it. I can do top five as well. Maybe as Tony So number three, Drake London. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Yep. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I feel like one I would do. Yeah. Number two, Joku. Yeah. That's that game. Right? Joku Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:27 Has that game Right he looks so good. I mean that he always looks good. I mean unbelievable how good that I'm not even talking about playing football I'm just saying he looks so good. He looks like a superhero from Mad Max like shirtless It just blonde hair. He's beautiful muscles on top of of muscles. And number one, well, number one, Jimmy Graham. Is the same. I mean, where'd that come from? Still getting it done. Still catching studies. So what he does?
Starting point is 00:29:04 How was that? Not great. I was kind of hoping we would have talked this out and you were doing this so that you could have had a 3 and only 3 but 2 O.L.I. as well saying you didn't know how to do a top 5. I too wish we had talked it out. So, especially since I have the 3 and only 3 imaging now. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Try to get with the bed and see. So, you want the. Try to get with the bed and see. You want the other try to get? I don't think that's the imaging for three and only three. I don't know what that is. Well, that's mislabeled. I don't think we had imaging. I, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 What is that? Is that a fog? What is that? Why is the music so cheap for us? It's so iconic. What is that? What is that? What is that? Is that in Oregon? What is that? Why is the music so cheap for us? It's so iconic. What is that? What is that in Oregon? This was before Draft games came into our lives.
Starting point is 00:29:52 This is whatever was, I think I got royalty-free music off of CDs back then. That seems impossibly bad. It's not really great, Sturgat. I wish our music was slightly better than it appears to be. Does punch that segment up. I mean, that's not saying very much. I mean, you weren't either.
Starting point is 00:30:15 You were just saying Jimmy Graham. Yeah, got it. Well, I gotta get good at it. It's hard. I mean, you think anybody could just walk up the street and do a top five football list? Well, we let someone. It's hard. It's a... three. It's his Tony's or mine yours.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Cause Tony didn't have a number three. He forgot to do number three. I'll do it again. I remember I was why I was working. That's why it was such a hard 72 hours for me this weekend. I was working on this list. All right, let me throw it away for the book. We have the bed. We have the bed. Let's punch it up a little bit. Number three. Oh boy. Well hold on a second. Oh, well, I. Baker may feel. That's oh, well, I. Okay. I forgot my oh, well, I guess it's hard. It's hard to do. And number three. three, Drake London.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah. Tony gives us a little more context than you knew. Well, I gotta get good at it. Well, less is more. I'm not saying I'm good at it, yet I'm asking for your patience. A lot of people say I'm ruining the show. Let me get good at it.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I need some practice. I've only been doing this. How would you expand that out, Trigger? I don't know. I got to practice. A rap's failures. Like give him time, guys. Mm-hmm. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Fair. And speaking of giving someone time, Jessica, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs. Mike Tomlin has always had a winning season. Mike Tomlin has coached for 17 years, Stugatts, and he has always had a winning season. However, do you want to know how many years in Mike Tomlin's 17 years, they've won a playoff game. Do you want to know in out of 17 years on Mike Tomlund's resume, how many of those years have the Pittsburgh Steelers won a playoff game? And he guesses? It's probably a lot
Starting point is 00:32:16 fewer than you would think. And he guesses five four four of the 17 seasons he has won a playoff game and now in Pittsburgh not one but two radio hosts are calling for his firing because they lost two really bad games in like five days because it's really hard to play football twice in five days he's also won the biggest game twice. Once he lost. He lost it. They lost to the Packers in 2011. He's won two AFC Championship games, those two.
Starting point is 00:32:53 So you weren't far off. But I think, I mean, OK, truly, I could talk about this for hours. So I'll try to condense my thoughts into a few seconds. There have been a lot of Steelers fans for the last, I want to say five years since the end of the decline of the Rothless Burger era that have wanted Tomlin to go because like you said, their postseason record has been wanting. They have not played well in the postseason and they have had some really bad management, especially on the offensive side of the ball. And for the last five years,
Starting point is 00:33:27 I've thought that the quarterback situation has been holding them back. And I also thought that Mac Canada was not a great offensive coordinator. And I think that maybe some of the personnel stuff is, that's not on Tomlin, but some of the coach assistant hiring, that is on him.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And so I have disagreed with the people calling for him to get fired. But at this point, watching these last two games, I think more Steelers fans than not are starting to go in that direction. Whoa. And I don't, I really, really like Mike Talman. I don't want him to get fired.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I don't think that he is incapable of coaching a winning team. And I think that truly, that's crazy. They have things like I think he's capable of coaching a team in the playoffs and winning another Super Bowl. But with this current team and this current roster and this current coaching staff, that is not the case. And these two back-to-back losses have been probably among the worst of my lifetime as a Steelers fan
Starting point is 00:34:26 and maybe a lot of fans lifetime. So it's a bad situation right now in their 7 and 6. All right, but just to be clear, what Jessica just did in these radio hosts are doing and it's happening in New England as well, Stu Gatz, because if you make all of this shit unreasonable and we'll talk for hours and days about how could you be such an idiot to line up offside. You should be at the top of the AFC and now you're not. You're going to have to road playoff game because you lost a buffalo.
Starting point is 00:34:51 There's a great indignity in that. At the top of that sport, Mike Tomlin has won every single season more than he's lost that he has coached a football team. And Jessica is telling you, and she's not alone, that the standard in Pittsburgh is a ridiculous place, at least in part, because Mike Tonlin, for 17 years, has over-achieved just about every year before he gets to the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:35:17 That this year's Pittsburgh team, which all of us knew from the start, wasn't any good, that their offense was limited and that Kenny Pickett is limited. You do not agree. I don't really agree. So I think Kenny Pickett is definitely a problem. I think there were expectations
Starting point is 00:35:32 that he would play better this season. I think Joe Flacco now is tied with touchdowns, touchdowns with Kenny Pickett. He's like, what do you mean when you're saying that? That's amazing. Because I know you know, I know you know that's right. And I felt that my, who were the passing leaders? Yes, I will say that the Steelers skill position players are some of the best in the league.
Starting point is 00:35:49 And I think it's really disappointing given that they put a lot of effort into making this year's roster better than last year's. They improved on the offensive line, which has been playing, I think better the last few games, although the results aren't there in terms of winning and losing. And their skill position players are great. Like Deonti Johnson's great. George Pickens is great. Pat Frymouth great tight end.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Najie Harris, Jalen Warren, great running backs. It's just. Najie made me not. I really was the first round runner. Yeah, first rounder. Warren's good. I really like it. It should be better.
Starting point is 00:36:20 They're often just should be better. And I think bringing back Canada for this season and then firing him midway through the season, like that's a really bad move. I also don't think it's entirely his fault. I think part of it is on picket for not being at a place where I think the Steelers wanted to see him be at this point. Is anyone just saying, but they're offense look the best that it had all season and then can he pick a guy hurt? I know that they were struggling prior to the injury in that one isolated game.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Not just hurt, but with the concussion issues throughout all of last season and more this year where you're like, did he get concussed again? And Jessica, all fair, but I'm just trying, what I'm trying to do here is show people where the margins are on some of this stuff organizationally, right? Because the jets are a loser franchise.
Starting point is 00:37:03 The jets are gonna ruin Zach Wilson Zach Wilson yeah fifth leading passer yeah and by the way TMZ is reporting that Aaron Rogers will be clear to play on Christmas oh no you're right the margins are razor thin and I think the I think like there's so many things that went wrong over the last five years in Pittsburgh that I don't really blame fans that want to change. I just think like you could do so much worse than that. Well, but you do realize.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And I really like it. You do realize that as we talk about this, okay, this is what we're going to do now that we're going to do this. I just, I want like America to stand back and celebrate what we're now doing with football. Shinn down, microscopic, referee suck, every game is this way, could go either way, but the Steelers, whenever Mike Townland's the coach, they win more than they lose. And I don't think they're quarterbacks any good.
Starting point is 00:37:56 He was good when he was old at the University of Pittsburgh, and I liked watching him at the University of Pittsburgh, but I haven't seen him be in the pros, be anything other than Brock Osweiler in a different, in a different uniform and body, because it's a whole lot of short passes with all those skilled players. This is next level because what they're saying is do it in the post season, but he's done it in the post season. That's correct, but only four of the years and one of those years did he win multiple
Starting point is 00:38:19 games. So now, this is what I'm saying is where we are, which is Asinine. Asinine. And she's not wrong is Asinine. Asinine, and she's not wrong. Asinine! Asinine! The man has won for 17 straight years more than he has lost. Fire him. I don't think he'll get fired.
Starting point is 00:38:39 His contract's up at the end of next year. Like, I don't think he's going to get fired. Just for the right, the Steelers also, they're like the old school of old school. They don't fire coaches. They have had like three coaches in the modern era. How do you want that second sewer ball? I thought he won. He'd be fine.
Starting point is 00:38:54 He wouldn't. That is correct. Jeremy, can you make sure to turn down my levels where I scream there? Just put having music in there or something.
