In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family. And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned from the start, same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila. Go to Cuervo.com to shop tequila or visit a store near you. Cuervo, now's a good time. Trademarks owned by Bekle. SAB, the CV.

Like look, we're not, we make a lot of mistakes. For example, Chris, you wanna play the Shadow Show thing or did you forget? Did you just forget?

We were rolling here. I mean, Greg Cody was ready. You forgot, you forgot. Okay, can you play it? He started talking. Well, he was supposed to play it. I started talking because you heard the five, four, three, two, one. I did, yeah.

And he heard it too, but you. Shadow Show. Executive producers. Shadow Show. A competent. Shadow Show. play this time talking to you heard the five four three two one and he heard it to be the shot show that uses the shanty shanty shanty shanty shanty shanty

shanty shanty so you were worried about greg messing it up contract how did you uh... well we've got a big day today and the shadow show people many of them have been with us for a really long time and we've got like a big announcement. Billy, how do you feel about the big announcement? We don't, I'm afraid that

Greg, as is his want, will reveal the big announcement before the big announcement thus thwarting the big announcement because he scoops Cody. I think he's gonna make a mistake today. What big announcement. Alright so we should be okay then unless you then say what it is not knowing what it is. Right. Hmm. That I'm more likely to expose the big announcement. You really don't know what we're announcing today. Scoops Cody would normally at a time before Scoops Cody became the big star that he is now He-Haw 3. He used to care about Levitard Show scoops. Yeah, lead singer, He-Haw 3. This would be the biggest scoop he had

since breaking my engagement story, would it not? He hasn't had a scoop about our show in a while. That's what you haven't fed me one. Feed me. I'm like a bird in a nest. This would be the biggest story since then, unless you're getting divorced, which. Was it that?

Wow, that'd be a good story. Well, not for're getting divorced, which. Was it that? Right. Wow, that'd be a good story. Mm-hmm. Well, not for Dan. See if we can make that happen. Right. Well, what do you mean? Like, I know the show has an anniversary coming up.

I don't know when it is. It's right now. I mean, we're celebrating the anniversary now, but that's not the announcement. Oh, I didn't bring a cake. Huh. Sorry. You wanna go out and get one? Yeah, I think I will.

Carvel, please. With 25 candles on it or whatever. Well, it'd be too many, but. Okay, 15? You turn 70, right? Eventually, God willing. Is it September 21st? I think that's the date of the celebration.

Well, when's the birthday though? It's an undisclosed date just prior to that. September 10th. But dates, here's the thing. Greg knows as well as anyone else with leap years. Who really knows what date actually is? Exactly. Days are just a construct of man, really.

Put it on the poll, please. Are days just a construct of man, really? Question mark. That's a good point. This is The Don LeVittor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. You guys do realize that today, well not really today, like Cody's birthday, three days after

our actual anniversary, not on the day, you do realize that this is one of the most improbable stories in the history of sports media that this jalopy full of shit would arrive at 20 years together you understand you understand how ridiculous and rare it is look at what surrounds me look at how it's aged yep you're welcome not nice to say about Greg but but I understand. Greg, I can't believe you guys accurately executed, correctly executed a Golden Oldies thing while I was gone. Metal Arc Media accomplished something.

All that had to happen for it to get accomplished is I had to leave. Where is that package? Is it ready? Because Jessica pinballed in here today she is she is you think the cafecito gets to her college football she in hails and snorts look at her

yes she's got her eyes are crossed from uh... from i like i i i she wants to talk i'd i think i could give none enough one minute i think i could simply like uncaging a rodeo bull i can say jessica talk about college football and she would not stop for ten minutes dan what a weekend all my god i'm sitting in here with all the canes fans noter dame had a great weekend and we are going feral right now for college football

uh... can we set up a segment ch please, before the end of the show, where we give Jessica the room that there's no way she will have on a Monday with as many gas bags in here as there are and as many things as we have to do today, because it's a giant day in our show's history and we've got a giant announcement and they're two different things. Like, we are going to be celebrating our 20th anniversary all year, just maximum navel gazing. Mike, what can I tell them about the project that is going to, the content project that's going to accompany what's going to be a year-long celebration of one of the goofiest stories in the history of sports media? It really is. It's asinine that we have reached 20 years. I think

you can tell them everything you want to, Dan, about that upcoming project that we're going to celebrate. Over the course of a year, it'll come out every two weeks, the first episode of what it is that we're going to do, and I'll let you take it away from there. It's just an oral history. Mike has been working very hard. You may not yet see the fruit of all the stuff that we've changed around here. In fact, I've heard all your complaints because of the battering everything has taken around here.

But now it takes flight. Like today it takes flight. We're going to be able to get our audience all the things it's been missing for three and a half years because we finally got in our shit together because it's super hard to basically what we've been doing for three years a radio show one actually come a t v show all right do a lot you're doing it good luck with all that and you've seen what's happened it's been pretty uncomfortable and pretty unpleasant bit last week we executed

a golden old these things what we have not executed today and i'm upset about this i wanted people today pit today's the day for people because you haven't heard me in 25 years say the U is back and I am not prisoner of moment on the U. But they got a quarterback and that means they're back. Like, all right. Exactly right.

I have one game and it's the Gators. Not a very good team. I can't even open a water bottle. Thinks that there's basements in Florida. Like, come on. Billy Napier's a disaster. We can agree on that. Terrible. Florida, like come on, Billy Napier's a disaster, we can agree on that. Terrible.

Can we agree on that? Billy Napier, what are you doing? Can we argue Billy about the bigger disaster right now? Because Florida State, oh my God, what a disaster last night too. Opening the season 0 and 2, somehow Boston College gets to say they beat the 10th ranked team in the country

because there was no AP poll vote last week after week zero. Unbelievable, what a disaster for Florida State. The good thing about- Florida State is more like it. the 10th ranked team in the country because there was no AP poll vote last week after week zero. Unbelievable. What a disaster for Florida State. The good thing about Florida State is more like it. He's right about that. Alright, hold on a second. What happens? Hold on, hold on.

Sorry about that. What? Oh. Brett Cody, major penalty, five minutes, me maximum. He wasn't paying attention to anybody. He doesn't listen when other people are talking. He doesn't know where he is on Tuesdays. I mean, small windows.

He tried to squeeze a joke in. That's all. He wasn't, he wasn't. Florida State is a great team. He's a great team. He's a great team. He doesn't listen when other people are talking. He doesn't know where he is on Tuesdays. I made small windows. He tried to squeeze a joke in. That's all. He wasn't. The joke was Florida stink. Am I right? Is it even a joke? He's right. He's replaced, instead of Florida state, it's Florida stink. We get it. It's a fact though.

Oh, I thought he said steak. Florida steak? It's Florida. You heard steak too, right? I heard steak as well. Well, here's the thing guys, and I think we can you heard steak too, right? I heard steak as well. Well, here's the thing, guys, and I think we can all agree on this, right? With the new format, if you're going to lose twice in a week, do it early.

Yep. That's what you guys were saying last week. That was the FSU argument. Yes, it is a bit shocking to see Florida and FSU stink. However, I will say of Cam Ward before we go any further, because it's not just 20 anniversary, and it's not just that we've got a big announcement. It's also, the University of Miami clearly

has a quarterback. Even if it was easy against Stinky Florida, I will just simply tell you that what Cam Ward gave off more than anything was unhurried, and I haven't seen that at the position since Jacory Harris. Right. That's amazing that you just said that he gave off poise. He gave off confidence. He's obviously a good player. It's not just Cam Ward though. That entire team

was terrific. But it helps when your quarterback moves around as if you can see the confidence on him. Yes. Like it's a super. It's a your Jets are gonna have it this year if Aaron Rogers stays healthy. If. It's gonna be a strange thing to watch in a Jets uniform. Been a long time since we've seen Aaron Rodgers be good. You just say he's the best thing since Ja'Corey Harris? That was the joke, Billy, thank you, stay with us.

What's going on? Why is Greg not sitting in a penalty box? Why is he sitting with Taylor dressed up as a Gator? Well, this is what's happened. This is what's happened today. The Insta-Gators, the Insta-Gators came in today. They bought all this stuff. They were texting me all weekend.

Damn, we wanna be Lucy. We wanna buy all this stuff. We wanna have the toys. We wanna have the expense account. We wanna be the Insta-Gators. And I'm like, sure, you can do that. That'll be funny. But they need to win.

Oh, so this was gonna be to troll me? Yes. Okay. Yes, they also need the budget, I mean. Right. And to win. But more than the budget, they needed to win in order to do the characters of the Insta-Gators. They had all sorts of stuff planned. This was gonna be their star vehicle.

They were gonna finally get on the show. Ethan, I get in today. Hey, Dan, I got a top five list. I don't give a f***. Why are you talking to me about your top five list, kid? You don't just get to have top five lists around here. You know how hard it is for Jessica to earn one of those? You know what really happened? He said, I have a top five list and Stu Gotz goes, I have a good top five list. That is what I said.

That is what I said. That is what I said. God damn. Without even hearing it, that is what actually Stugat said. Do you have it right now? I do. All right. Let's go to it right now.

Hey kid, hey instigator, this is how it works to do a top five list that you have confidence in. What does it look like, Stugat? These are the top five things that were happening in sports when Cam McCormick, tight end for the University of Miami, started to play college football. How old is he? How old is he? Has he played eight years?

He's in his ninth season. Is it eighth? It's ninth season. Apparently, Game Day had a really impressive piece on the young man, and the narrative around him kind of changed. Not necessarily on this show, which still takes the opportunity to laugh at him.

But people really actually get to see that his story's an inspiring one, and I don't think people were familiar with everything that he'd overcome, they just think that he's Van Wilder. Stu, this is just top five things that happen in sports, not politics, so it doesn't include Donald Trump's inauguration in 2016, because that happened after he enrolled in college,

apparently. Thank you, Jess, for clarifying, because it is top five things, mostly in sports, one outside of sports. Okay, it's a long name for a list. Hopefully at some point here we will get to people the announcement and to celebrate celebrating our 20 year anniversary.

I do want to talk about Florida. I do want to talk what a disaster Napier is because I read a report and please tell me it's true that he exchanged words with Albert the alligator that the guy in the costume that they were arguing I got to find the source on this I have it written down somewhere you guys haven't heard this costume was I was was I faked out on this I'm gonna find the sourcing on this so it's not just me saying it or being full okay let's see it's the conquering hero on Twitter says that there were words between Albert the alligator and Napier.

Is it true? No one knows? The Alligator can talk? Is there a blue check next to the conquering hero? Yes. Oh, then you can trust it implicitly on that website. Thank you very much. 100%.

By the way, when you're down 38 to 10 at home, headed into the fourth quarter and you're the Gators, you gotta bail on the Tom Petty song. It's embarrassing. Don't do it. Pull the plug. I mean. Oh, yeah. Love that song.

Back down. I know you love the song. But if you're the Gators and the fans, you don't sing it. You don't do it. You pull the plug on the entire thing. You're down 28 to the games at home. What are you doing? One of my favorite moments is being there

with all those Keynes fans singing that song, because we were pretty much the only people in that stadium singing that song. I have really pressured back channels to make sure that song is played at Miami home games. Henceforth, that's our song now. I didn't see anything funnier this weekend than Jay Norville, the coach for Colorado State on the sideline down 38 nothing, still having some sad guy with a banner blocking his play calling.

It's like you're down 38 nothing, dude. I don't think they're checking your spirit. They're not working. Like poor guy. Look at him, he's just like left, right, left, right. Try telling them to play, see if that works. I mean. Let's do this list from Stugatz.

These are things that were happening in the world the last time, nine years this kid, the tight end has been playing. Nine years, yeah. McCormick has been playing for nine years at UF. Things that are years in sports but also one thing that happened in the world. Okay thank you number five. Oh well I did. Oh wow I'm sorry. Yep Obama was still a patriot.

Number four, Philip Rivers was still a charger and had five seasons to go. How many kids though? Not sure. That's where I thought you were going with five and he only had five kids. Number three, Lamar Jackson hadn't yet won the Heisman trophy. Number two Peyton Manning won his second Super Bowl call by Jim Nance and Phil Simms because Tony Romo was still playing. And number one Kevin Durant was still a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. That's a top five.

Ethan, you want to come in here and see if an instigator has a better top five? We're going to put monster pressure on you right now. Ethan was still in college. Instigator, he was still... He's here, he's ready. He's already in here. He still smelled like embryonic fluid back when... I was in high school. I was doing high school was doing my senior year high school

All right enough just yes enough. Let's let's move through this. Okay. I don't I don't want jazz hands here instigator. Yeah Very comfortable in front of the microphone those are her All right, let's run through it. What is there was a lot of embarrassing things this week. Alright, what is your list? Wait, let's set this up correctly. Hold on a second. Because he's coming for the throne, okay? My heart's racing. Okay, let's slow it down and speed it up and put the pressure on the instigator. He wants to be on the show, alright? I got enough white boys around here. Like, I don't need more white boys around here. I don't need more white boys around here I don't so to get aggregated huh oh well I unfortunate thing at one point Miami it was very obvious they were punting and the Gators didn't have a punt

returner on the field for about 30 seconds very wordy and the phlegm was coming up yeah we called the timeout after a five-minute timeout following a kickoff Okay, I got it before calling out the fans in quote rural Central, Florida yesterday Billy Nate Pierce said we need to work on the football part Funny All right number five we let up a touchdown to a guy that has been in school since 2016 number four Billy Napier couldn't open his water bottle number three three players on the kickoff team at one point ran to the

wrong side of the field I hear your breathiness it was like my first show yeah I'm a little nervous coming He's coming for Taylor's stuff though. Number two Miami players were celebrating with recruits on a visit to Gainesville in the end zone after the game. Inexplicably they were on the Miami sideline. Usually they're on the Florida sideline. This time they were in the Miami corner. Can't explain that. We're all looking for who did this. Yeah, Billy Napier I can only imagine how mad Mike Fuentes is right now You can only imagine how happy Taylor is Number one that dork Mario Cristobal gator chomping on our home field All right, get out of here and go sit in the penalty box and quit bothering me when I come into work

All right, I don't want to hear about your top five list. It wasn't terrible. Can we talk about the GatorChomp thing? Can we watch the video? I'm not going to say it was a little cringe, but...

Don LeBattard! It's been a loooollly cruise. Oh man, that's my outro. That's, you know, as my casket is being lowered. Jesus! Holy cruise. Oh man, that's my outro. That's, you know, as my casket is being lowered. Jesus. You know, I'll have been cremated a week before, but we'll do the casket thing just for show. And as my casket is being lowered.

Wait a minute. Empty casket? Yeah, it'll be empty. Closed. You know, just for show we're gonna do that. Well, what's the redundancy there? You know, I mean, we're gonna put on a public display. Yeah, naturally. Stugats! What do you do with the ashes? You know, I mean, we're gonna put on a public display. Yeah, naturally.

Stugats! What do you do with the ashes? You're going on a lovely cruise. Exactly, maybe we'll throw them over, my wife will throw them overboard. I would assume... She's nicking with her new husband. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats! I want to talk about that game for a minute because Greg Cody is here and there are many Greg Cody things to celebrate here. Not just that he's got another book coming out, not just that he's got a hit podcast, The Greg Cody Show with uh... he he wrote a column off of u m u f he did so from key west he did so in his underwear i have questions to ask him about that column but before we do all of that

billy uh... yes i want i want to introduce the audience here because it's been so long billy this is very frustrating to me that i run this company but i don't actually run this company because i say and ask for things and they don't happen i offer today and was searching all weekend for a paid appearance fee for people he won't have to he won't come in the people people were mentioned people will not come in that and uh... i don't know why he won't come in so video can you get for me

please a reintroduction? I want to do this going forward as part of our 20 year anniversary year-long celebrations to God. We're gonna birth a lot of navel-gazing content that I think our audience is going to really like. And one of those things is gonna be behind the pit, bit, behind the bit, beyond the bit, whatever it is that it's called. Behind the bit. I like behind the pit. That worked.

Beyond that pit. Yes, yes. Well, however you want it. As long as we get Pitbull, we're good. Pitbull Stadium this weekend. Thank you, Ethan. This is how it works, Ethan. See, you stumble on a word and look, the piranha arrived.

That's how it is around here. Live. So, Instigator, what is he doing out there writing things? You gotta look sad. I told you, you gotta look sad, Instigator. It's gonna be hard for Taylor to look sad after that Ethan performance. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Dude, two grinning gators right now. It's here. You guys gotta stay in character. Like the alien xenomorph, a smile reveals another smile.

It's unbelievable. You guys play this game correctly, all right? If you want to be on the show, you gotta be sad as instigators because Mike Ryan won and nobody here wants Mike Ryan to win. The thing you don't get, Dan, is that everybody out there is rooting for everyone else out there to fail. Like, and there's like a whole, like, dynamic. fail. Again, there's like a whole dynamic. So there's like the Fuentes and the video crew,

and their whole objective in this entire thing isn't getting things out on time or anything, it's like make sure Taylor fails at everything that he does. Right? Exactly right. They're constantly trying to sabotage Taylor. And then Ethan came in, and now Ethan is the person that Taylor is hoping that fails,

because then kind of the heat goes off of Taylor. So like Ethan is like the grandchild of like the video department that hates Taylor. Do you understand how flawed a company we're building when every new employee who comes in is wished failure by all the people above him? I know you like that Billy because you started the game. I like the up frontness of it. You know what

I mean? Like there's no wondering, do these people want me to fail? You just know as soon you get in. Oh, they do. We're not that different from actual respected institutions. We just say it out loud. We don't play this backstabbing game of politics behind the scenes. We front stab you. I mean, Dan, go to Wall Street when the new hotshot trader walks in everyone is rooting for that guy to be an absolute failure. Yeah. I mean this place is no different. It's true in any walk of life I think like if you go into a car lot you know and five salesmen are in there. You think they're all rooting for each other to sell a car? No. No they're not and teachers. You know if I'm a teacher I sort of want the other

teacher not to do well. You know, let's have him or her get in trouble for showing up late for work. It's like when you work at a restaurant and you're the old server and a new server comes in. You don't want them to have success. It's like if you're Tom Cruise on the set of Top Gun Maverick. Glenn Powell comes around like, yeah, look, this is our franchise. I know what we're trying to do for you, Top Gun colon, but you know, just go with the flow a little bit. This is still the Tom Cruise show. Chris is right about the server. The new server comes in, he's young, he's got a great memory,

he's not writing anything down, he's doing it all off memory. You want him to screw it up. It's like if you're on a coaching staff and there's a new assistant who comes in and he's younger than everyone else and he's the new hot guy and everyone's looking at that guy and you're like, hey, I've been around longer, I have experience here, I want everyone to be talking about how good of a job I'm doing. Imagine you work at a newspaper for a really long time.

Most of your adult life, you started there as an intern, whatever, back in high school. You came from, I don't know, let's just say FAU, then all of a sudden this hot shot from the University of Miami comes in fresh out of college and it gets front page columns. Yeah, seriously. It's a lot like if you're a traveling standup comedian

and opening act starting to get some hard labs. Yeah, do I root against this guy? Maybe don't open for me anymore? This is a lot of questions that I'm asking myself professionally. Very introspective. I would say team sports generally you got a root for each other not here publicly over a quarterbacks generally

rude against a starting court nail this public unless they're happy being a backup yeah Charlie Whitehurst wants nothing but the best for a start I'm betting Florida State's backup quarterbacks like I don't want to play I don't want to do this you guys think that Waddle wants Tyreek Hill to fail? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's different though, they both start. And they're both getting a lot of balls thrown.

No, but wait a minute. Why is that different? Well, two had told us they all root for each other, whether you believe them or not. But O'Tell might be rooting against. They haven't seen them in a week, huh? Then they walked that back real quick. Isn't that the Will Fuller deal

where you come down to Miami and just take the Dolphins money and never play? Like isn't that like what the, it's a sort of- Don't be me the Will Fuller. I know I think that, but it's just, I think- It's Will Fuller V. That's a five. At least Will Fuller practiced.

Yeah, the fourth I think. I want to get to Behind the Pit, a new thing that we're featuring that explains to you who Bepo is. This is behind the bit. This is behind the bit. This is behind the bit. A segment where we're really wondering if this is going to be the bit that gets us fired.

How did the Bepo character come about? Bepo was making fun of Miami Hurricanes fans straight to their face, and he became an icon to Miami Hurricanes fans. They loved it. At the time, we were doing a local hour, and we were breaking down the Hurricanes in a manner that I thought was a little too serious

in a manner that I thought was a little too serious and respectful, and then people just showed up. I don't know. People? Here's people. ["The Last of Us"] There are many people on this bandwagon who at the end of last season said to yourself, maybe even shared it openly, you said we got wrong. If we didn't have injuries, those bum ass refs, we would have won our seventh

national championship. You heard me, Filipe, seventh. Well guess what bro, next year is here. The time is now. And all the Descaral from UF, and all the stupid Seminoles, and all the haters, and even that rat Nevin Shapiro, all of them will be watching us. The time is now. And don't any of you overestimate this moment. This team ain't got on us, bro.

When I walked into that stadium today, they patted me down and they found the extra beer I had in my cargo shorts. Pippo is basically the combination of about three dozen Miami Hurricanes friends that I know personally. I even have a friend whose name is Filete, which is why he was kind of referenced in there.

I had friends get kicked out of stadiums for smuggling beers into their cargo shorts. In one of the videos, Pippo said that when you drink cafecito in Spanish, I said some people shit themselves, which never would have aired in English. But because it was in Spanish, no one knew what was being said. And when there's pressure, we drink cafecito. And for the weak, for the weak, when they drink cafecito, And for the weak, para la gente débil, when they drink cafecito, se caga. No bro, imaginate cagando de delante de cien mil gente en the stadium at National TV. Que

pena. But for the strong, para los caballos, when we drink cafecito, nos enfocamos. Did Manny Diaz ever get that turnover, Shane? Manny Diaz got fired because Manny Diaz ever get that turnover change? Manny Diaz got fired because Manny Diaz was not a good coach. Manny Diaz was what people thought they wanted at UM and then ended up being kind of a disaster as a coach. And I'm not saying that the people interview with Manny Diaz would have foretold what was to come, but that interview went very poorly. Manny Diaz did not foretold what was to come, but that interview went very poorly. Manny Diaz did not understand what people were saying.

There was general confusion. Here's the thing about Manny Diaz. He actually doesn't really know all that much Spanish, and people kind of exposed him. So I think Mario Cristobal is more of a people guy, quite honestly, than Manny was. It was a very weird interaction between Manny Diaz and people, and quite honestly, it was the start of my doubt that Manny Diaz wasn't

the guy on how he handled Pippo. Pippo is a great way to vet your head coach. Pippo what do you got for your new coach? Get out of the way here damn Manny! Que buena city! What's up bro? Hey what's with this weird energy? Like a funeral, like a velodio in here today bro. What's happening? It's a party. It's what I'm talking about. Oh yeah bro, congrats. I'm happy for you. Listen, as soon as the job became available,

I knew there was one person for this job. Someone's gonna be here through thick and thin. And there's a bunch of haters like Pablito saying you're a traitor for leaving the temple. And you know what? Ignore him. I said, you know what? Ignore him. I said, you know what?

That people, he's an empresario. Cógelo suave, Ro. That guy wants billetes. So I was happy that you got that job at temple and I'm even happy that you're back. Hey, that's great to hear. This has been the high point of my tenure so far. This makes it all worthwhile. Manny, I'm sorry, welcome to Miami.

Just got a little out of control. That clip that was played, the speech, the original speech with the music underneath, that was kind of like making fun of a Michael Irving speech that he gave made its way to Michael Irving. Michael Irving commented on it on Twitter. I was told that at tailgates in Texas, it was being

played before the UM game. Calls were made to Paul Feinbaum and got through on Paul Feinbaum and he was none the wiser that people was just kind of you know trying to agitate him. You got Virginia Tech? Nah, by that time in the year they're not going to be ranked. Well you know what, you know why people are not agreeing with you because of the way that Miami just choked the last part of the season, what they lose, three straight? Yeah, yeah, but that was last year Paul, things are different now, things are different.

They were injured. Why should we wipe that away? Don't let me start on the ref. The ref's always having it against you. What have we seen since then? You the Kane fans are all the same. You do not want to regard history as a factor in anything. Anyway, thanks for the call.

Great to have you on. We're up against a break. Three more hours to go. We're right here. Now, Cristobal was seemingly having a good time. And then, people was there banging pots and pans, drinking coffee, but made a comment about the offensive coordinator that Mario Cristobal brought with him who is down

here from Miami and people said something along the lines of this guy is too small to be an offensive or defensive line coordinator I don't know some innocent thing was said by people and I'm not gonna get into the coaching moves so far but I'm a little to get into the coaching moves so far, but I'm a little bit worried about this mirror ball because I don't know if I can say it now, but the last time that we had a coach that was like that was man, he did.

And then I don't know about this other guy that you brought in for the weight training, but that guy is, he good as your grande pabuto. Are you kidding me? You got to settle down here, people. Tell us about the mustachioed strength coach. Hey, well, this one's for people. Last time I checked, the outlet trophy winner, that's the number six overall pick for the detour lines was groomed and coached by Alex Mirabal.

So I'll leave it at that. Not to mention- There you go. That's what I like to hear. That's what I like to hear, Mario Cristobal! And then that led to former UM players getting very upset, doing an article with the Athletic about it, saying that they wanted to fight people, saying they wanted to fight Dan. And then my understanding was that a group of former national champion Miami Hurricanes

were discussing showing up at the Clevelander to confront Dan over Beepo. I believe not understanding what Beepo was doing. Why do you think Billy hates people so much? I'm not sure why Billy hates people so much. I know he has to take it up a couple of notches. I think he kills the assignment. It's honestly one of my favorite things.

My wife has a Beepo hoodie. We love Beepo. Beepo, even though he, again, makes fun of Miami Hurricanes fans, we don't care. We love it. He is an icon. The best part about the peoples of Miami and just the whole people era of the show, I would say is that that is UM fans.

That's who they are. And for the most part, they loved it because they knew that's who they were. But also, they didn't know it was them. Like every UM fan said, oh my goodness, I know people, that's my cousin. Or I know people, that's my friend Jack. Or I know my friend people is this, this is people, that's people.

And it's like, no, it's you. You just don't realize that you are people. Would people ever return? Maybe. For the horses, when we drink coffee, we focus.

Chris, go get me this. It's just going to be him coming out and hitting the one or two notes of that kind of thing and you know it and then just giving us finger guns and leave it. Baby! You should listen to the great

Cody Show podcast because that's all we do for 55 minutes a week is just say catchphrases we even make songs about them the and you know it is a song for crying out loud that's great Hopefully that's a suey nominee for best song. And you know it baby and you know it. Stugats. And you know it baby and you know it. And you know it baby and you know it. And you know it baby and you know it. This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats. Everybody around here for a couple of years now has seen or heard or felt me falling apart in some ways. The show has endured that a couple of times in its history

uh... and lived too i cannot tell you right now how grateful i am for an audience that made something possible that we're about to buck up and get super strong as the whole media thing crumbles and shakes and tries to figure it out like college game day killed it this week and i thought they're in transition and that's how it changes get shirtless get a lepcon out there this that says he has to p and savings looking around and he's like i've never seen anything like this is what college football feels like i've

never seen something so fun and he's out there cursing and saying while on live television I like this was funny because he he says the word shit stugots and that's all that everyone was talking about and do you realize how stupid and silly it is that the rest of that quote is normal now the rest of that quote is you guys keep talking about a 20 million dollar roster if you don't buy the right guys you'll be shit out of luck everyone's focusing

on the shit nobody cares that there's the winningest coach ever saying yeah cost twenty million, but you better get the right players. It's like what are we doing? It's why I'm sitting here doing college game day now. I got to tell you Saban is QB one on that show. It is not McAfee. It is not Desmond Howard. It is not McAfee, it is not Desmond Howard, it is not Reese Davis, I love all of them, but Saban is QB1, he is excellent,

they need to use him more, they need to utilize him more, let him speak more, Nick Saban is really good at this. You say that, I say he's stiff and starched and he will be excellent, but he needs to work with those parts and those parts are a lot different. Saban ain't bringing you the young people McAfee is. And by the way everyone who kicked Lee Corso off the set the only

guy who was perfect with his picks over the weekend on the college game day set was Lee Corso. He still has it Dan. He does. Thank you for bringing that up Stu. There's nothing better as a fan than when you're watching a show like Game Day where they're giving pregame picks and everyone picks the same team. And then you say, hmm, all of the haters think that we're not gonna win, but guess what? Throw it back in their face after the game

because Notre Dame won. They all picked Texas A and I'm like, oh, Notre Dame's not gonna win in a hostile environment. Their offensive line has six snaps of experience between the five of them But but but but guess what it didn't matter. It didn't matter Notre Dame won take your hundred seven thousand fans and I don't know go kick rocks Minor penalty two minutes stumbling

Gave her a whole second. I wanted to keep talking ball. I Will get back to I will get back to ball. I wanted to talk ball, too I just didn't want to talk Notre Dame football that quickly. Oh, no, it was impressive was Connor Wegman actually sick the entire game I've never seen him. Is it is it? Oh, yeah, no Wegman because Chris Fowler doesn't know how to pronounce pronounce it on the game Pronouncing is how you pronounce your name. that's my rule in life. Mm-hmm Punched in the stomach. I don't think I don't think you heard what I said Minor penalty two minutes stumbling that two more minutes. What are things for sure? I'm not exactly sure who he is What if you're bored you do whatever you can to get that Notre Dame defensive coordinator.

I wanna talk more about Napier, and we will, over the course of the show today, and we will find out what Greg Cody wrote from Key West in his underwear. You don't think Nick Saban is gonna kinda get his way, like ease his way into this? Like you don't think he's gonna do the David Pollock and jump off of a high board in a speedo into the pool

at some point on this run? He jumps into the lake, Stugatz loves on God Bless Football, asking everybody questions about point on this run jumps into the lake uh... sister gots loves on god bless football asking everybody questions about saving taking around on the lake it's one of stugatsis questions yeah that's great i mean he takes the guys out of the lake he tries to throw him off the little floaty i mean he should be concerned about those guys getting injured it's gonna have some double won't happen anymore is that go to it i agree with what you said about saving dominating that set

yeah uh... saving his out retired bill belichick and it isn't even close although i second we haven't seen a man in case you started and i just started it's not even got this belichick hasn't even had a chance to shine and then there's a rare yeah it's like a you you got a picture like a foot uh... retirement foot race between saving and belichick and right now i like that you know it picture like a retirement foot race between Saban and Belichick. And right now, Belichick is stuck in the starting gate and Saban is sprinting.

Well, college football started and pro football hasn't. Damn right it has and Saban's like, sprinting over those hurdles. Well, it's funny you mention that because the NFL does not like college football having its own weekend. There are reports now that the NFL wants to start Labor Day weekend.

They want all the weekend. That's jealous. Say what, you can bully basketball, stay away from the minor league. Did you see there's a clip of Bill Belichick's original content his show coach. Did you see who made its way onto the set doing this content creation with Bill Belichick? Matt Patricia. Oh wow. He's gonna bring all those he's gonna bring all of the coaches. He's gonna bring the personality. Did he bring all of the coach is gonna bring the personality

Do you have a pencil in his ear? I couldn't tell. Oh, man. Wait is a show called coach? I think that was one of the graphics. I like Craig T. Nelson. What else would you call though? That's a great reference Billy. That'd be a great show a reboot of coach with with Belichick. That is the head of Saban. You're so right. It is wonderful that the knee-jerk reaction of Greg Cody is that Saban, it's not even close, has sprinted past Belichick, who hasn't spoken publicly yet in his roles as somebody who analyzes games, because there have been no games for Belichick to analyze.

That's not Saban's fault. Fun fact, Craig T. Nelson was offered the part that Ed O'Neill got in Modern Family but asked for too much money really really I have read some interesting things about Movie stars and actors Brad Pitt. I didn't know this This is crazy to me the movie seven a masterpiece a dark masterpiece and keep an eye on everything happening in streaming because it's hard to get dark made because people want applause

and everything in your streaming channels is a note off because everybody wants a happy ending and to avoid all the difficult stuff. Brad Pitt and George Clooney just got paid $35 million each for this Wolf's movie that they're making on Apple TV and they've been promoting it everywhere. Brad Pitt in Seven had a contract that stipulated, and spoiler alert here if you have not seen Seven,

spoiler alert, I'm warning you, spoiler alert. I think you're good. I don't know. Never know. He had a contract clause that said in writing, my wife's head is in the box at the end and she dies and it stays there and I kill Kevin Spacey. That's how that movie ends and everyone tried to change it

and he just kept giving them the contract clause of you're not gonna make this a happy ending. They wanted to kill a dog or something. He's like no. That's a happy ending? Yes, well it's a happy ending. Yes. I have it was a happy It's happy yet Now you have canneries turned 60 over the weekend

No need got a whole new franchise because someone killed a dog I feel like audience would audiences in general would rather see a woman die than a dog die. Yeah, maybe right I'm building out this new coach put that on the pole poll. No, I don't want to do that. I really, really, I should throw that to Elon Musk, should I? Stu Gatz here.
