Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Happy opening nights to guys. Thank you. You're excited, huh? I am. I wanted to, and I was told I'm not allowed to, which sucked, but I wanted to just not talk about the heat today. Like, similar to how like the day after the Super Bowl, we did the mass singer. I was to just not talk about the heat today. Like similar to how like the day after the Super Bowl, we did the mass
Starting point is 00:00:27 singer. I was like, I just don't want to do heat today and see what happens. And I was told that's not allowed. So we have to talk heat today. Well, no, it was me who said we should probably talk some heat. I'm fine. If you don't want to talk heat, the season opens tonight. Tony is his t-shirt on. I mean, that's, that's the only reason I brought it up. But yeah, but I feel like they're're gonna do plenty of heat talk from LA, you know? So, like, how much heat do people want to hear from us today? I guess maybe a lot, because it's opening night, but I thought that the joke would be funny
Starting point is 00:00:56 and, like, in line with what our show does is just not address the heat at all on, like, the first day of the season. Right. So, I'm privy to some of the stuff that's coming out of LA and it seems as though there's no heat talk. That's impossible. Possibly. I don't believe that.
Starting point is 00:01:10 That can't be. I'm just saying. Wait, they went to LA and didn't talk about the Miami heat. Remember, you said they were covering Lakers Clippers too, so you can't cover both teams on both coasts. Yeah, after Matt, the Lakers lost last night. Yeah, they probably recapping that with Sedona. Right.
Starting point is 00:01:28 He played the pissant tonight. The he played the pistons tonight. Yeah. X F I you play as Jacksonville State tonight. You're on the game. I'm on the call. Yes, they invited you back. Hey, big night in Miami sports. It seems I heard Lucy saying, no, I didn't hear it.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I asked you for clips. You did not provide them. That's false. Well, what do you mean? I mean, we had. It just took a little bit to get it. But I am told that you were very good on the FIU broadcast. Let's, okay, let's address the, I didn't have it.
Starting point is 00:01:56 This is how that went last week that I did this or the last time that I did this two weeks ago, right? So Thursday, I came in, I had to come in because people weren't in. You did not come in that Thursday. Right. Well, I was told to not come in. Well, whatever. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:02:11 So I was told to come in. So I come in, I do the game, it's a late game, whatever, right? And I'm in on a Thursday. And then Stu Gotts is like, we're doing goal of a 1030. Do you have clips? And I'm like, dude, I know. I was calling the game until 11 o'clock at night. I got home at midnight.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Like you want me to then go through my own broadcast and hours of that broadcast to get 10 second clips. Like no, it's impossible. If I you would have someone on staff, we would do that for you. You're a big star. I mean, you're doing them a favor. I'm not a big star.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Well, okay, but this is a favor that you asked. Not that I asked. I mean, if I wanted to bother someone, maybe I could, we asked actually. Well, who can I bother? No one, you're not gonna I asked. I mean, if I wanted to bother someone, maybe I could, we asked that actually. Well, who can I bother? No one, you're not gonna bother anyone. They did say this though the last time that I did the game, and they basically said, we'd love it if Stugots could do,
Starting point is 00:02:56 we'd love it if whatever, and then I was like, I didn't know for you. I just, I just your way in to get Lucy to do the thing. Am I a bridge to Stugots? Exactly, right. They're like, look, they're like anyone you want in coming. Like, okay, that's fine. What a sad bridge.
Starting point is 00:03:09 That's the bridge to me. I mean, trust me. I know. Did I pay well? What kind of question is that? That's so rude. I was just wondering, perhaps I'll do a game with you. That's all.
Starting point is 00:03:20 But why don't you just do it for free? Because you want to spend time with me. Free. Now you've got too far Lucy's here and Lucy's playing a dangerous game from what I've been told what yeah Lucy is going to put up for pull where it is that people where she's going to go this week to cover a game Which seems like a very bad. Oh Very bad they're gonna send you to the worst possible place
Starting point is 00:03:41 We have two options Only two? Only two. Only two, Roy. It's not a good one. There are like two ranked matchups, and we got approved for the two games we wanted to go to. But we could probably find one that we could get you approved for that you're not considering.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Okay. Well, you bring me your suggestion. Duju, can we put on the poll? Should Lucie go to Oregon Utah this weekend or Georgia, Florida? Wow. It's largest, what is it? The largest cocktail party. The largest outdoor cocktail party.
Starting point is 00:04:12 It is not the cocktail party. At the landing, right? In Jacksonville. I think the vibes will be better. The game will be worse. Utah, I'm gonna have a hard time finding drunk people, but the game will be better. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:23 It's Wednesday. This seems like a very stressful existence. If you don't know where you're going to be in like day, you're telling me, is this every week? This is every single week. This crazy. I went to LA last week. We bought her plane ticket Wednesday. I flew out Thursday. Wow. So before we get to that next weekend, both me and Lucy, I have to attend the Iowa Northwestern game. It's at Riggly Field.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I think Lucy is going as well. You're going to this? I'm iffy. Well, I have to. So they're doing the National Championship ring ceremonies for Northwestern LaCrosse. They're doing it at Riggly Field during that game, which is very cool for my daughter
Starting point is 00:04:59 and the Northwestern women's LaCrosse team. So I'm excited about that. I'm not excited that they're doing it during an Iowa Northwestern game. So how this went is I'm if he on if I'm going to go to this game, mean Iowa, we're kind of in a fight right now. We'll work through it. We need therapy counseling, whatever. They sent you stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:17 No, the Iowa soccer team I love. Okay. Nice stuff too. Nice stuff. Look, it's a you can't see air, but Nike Iowa soccer stuff. Wow. And they gave me that bobble there And more stuff I'll wear it all tomorrow, but that's great. Thank you coach Deoni. It was very very nice But my family is going to Iowa Northwestern for sure and my dad was like you should invite two gods I'm telling me can come tailgate with us
Starting point is 00:05:38 And so I know what farther going to be at and the tailgate is gonna be weird because that rigley But if you want to hang out with my dad he will be there. She go to the cubby bear. Wait, so Lucy you're not going? I'm like 50 50. You're okay, going to. You? Since you're going that makes me want to go more because I think we'd have a good time.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Well, I'm not going. No, I'm going. No, my daughter's getting a national championship right now. So you're going to leave it. No, I'm going to leave it. I have time too. I have to. Dura half of it.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Why me? I don't know. I don't know. Because I have to go to Iowa Northwestern. That's why I'm yelling you but you like live directly field you have like a time share there You're always in Chicago. What are you complaining about a house? I don't share it with anyone. Yeah I'm looking up college football teams in Alaska. I've had no luck thus far Not one. Oh, you should go to Hawaii. I would be so far. Why don't you go to Hawaii? Oh, a midnight game. San Jose State, I believe.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Oh, it's not hurting. Checked it out just in case I lose all my bets. But it's not midnight for her. She you should go to Hawaii. I should happily go to Hawaii. Can we wait, hold on a second. Can we like let's let's do this right? Let's do this right, gang.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Can we set up like back to back weeks that Lucy has to go to games in Hawaii And then it wouldn't make any sense for her to come back, right and we'll go to Hawaii with her Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Northwestern that's where you're going So so hold on Hawaii hold on a second because I thought I thought you were going and what I wanted to do was on Saturday Do a show called college lame day? Because we're at the lamest we're at the lamest game of the entire season Iowa and Northwestern and I wanted to do that
Starting point is 00:07:16 But now I'm gonna have to do it with your dad. He is a star. The fans of this show absolutely love him Okay, you guys will be great together You dress the same. You both love the grateful dead. There's a lot to talk about. Done. Sold. I was looking at Hawaii's, actually no.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Like Lucy, I think that November 11th, you should go to Hawaii because number 19 Air Force is gonna be there. Oh wow. Veterans day. Everything on the line, yeah. That's a big day. I mean, we haven't covered, we've neglected Air Force is going to be there. Oh wow. Veterans day. Everything on the line. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:45 That's a big day. We haven't covered, we've neglected Air Force, which is irresponsible of us and unpatriotic. Correct. They're a ranked team. If they keep playing or what they're going to keep playing, if they keep winning, they could be maybe a bubble playoff. Well, no, they're not going to go through. They're not going to make the playoff.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Well, but we can't say that out loud if we're trying to get Lucida on vacation to Hawaii. Yeah, right? Yeah. Well, what are the choices next weekend? Have you looked at him yet? Not next weekend. I can pull up a list. This weekend kind of sucks.
Starting point is 00:08:13 This is like the last sort of like not great weekend. Have you been to Florida, Georgia before? I've never, I've sorry. It's a great time. Yeah, I've never been. That's a game I wanted to go to, even though I think the game will suck. Have you been to Jacksonville before? I have been to Jacksonville.
Starting point is 00:08:26 So you know not a great time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It smelled the kind of weird. That's a fair assessment. Is it? It smelled weird. Put it on the ball, right? Does Jacksonville smell weird?
Starting point is 00:08:37 By the way, don't be alarmed. I know that you're new to this area. Don't be alarmed that like when you turn on your shower and your faucets for like the next six weeks, it smells like chlorine. What? Yeah, you haven't been here, but they're in the middle of their chlorine treatment and like the Miami like water, management, facility, or whatever, and it's normal. It's safe, but like it smells like chlorine. So don't be alarmed by that.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Tell us the truth. No, that's, yeah. They tell us it's safe, which again, worries little bit. Hmm. What do you think they're trying to control you? No. All people to control. No, not just me, all of us, but not control, but like you chlorine's good. Don't don't drink it in the pool, but drink it in the water. That's the thing that's weird. Exactly. So Lucy, which game do you want to go to? Like I know you're leaving it to the fans of this show, but if it was left just to you, which game would you be going to? Like I know you're leaving it to the fans of this show, but if it was left just to you, which game would you be going to? That is why I'm leaving it up to the fans of this show because I really don't know. I think Morgan Utah is going to be a much better game.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Right. I feel like I've heard it's a cool environment there. I've never been there before. It's also the last time that they're going to play as in the same conference because we went to USC Utah last week and it was actually kind of sad at the end because you're like you're never gonna play again. So it's like a game with meaning where Georgia Florida I don't think is gonna have a ton of meeting meaning I think Georgia will probably kick the crap out of Florida but they'll be really drunk. So next weekend is Alabama LSU. That's the game you should go do next weekend. That's where we want to. In fact I wish my daughter's ring
Starting point is 00:10:03 ceremony was there. I have a question. I have a question. No, it's at Alabama. Oh, it's at Alabama. Okay. Of course. I have a question that I should know the answer to, and I don't want to put you in a bad spot.
Starting point is 00:10:14 But when you're going, the intention is to do videos, correct? And have like social media videos or videos for YouTube videos for the show, et cetera, right? Yes. So like, it's not covering the game. So like when they gave you shit about the whole Colorado thing, that was kind of ridiculous because like, you're not covering the actual game.
Starting point is 00:10:31 You're there to get like the festivities and kind of paint the picture, the tailgate support is before. And she does a great job of it. Yes, so like, no, I agree. When I had to do it at the FIU thing, I'm not had to. But when I did it, the FIU thing a couple of weeks ago, like, it's hard walking around and just, you know, like talking to me. On Taylor's, like, ah, we're just going to do this for 12 straight minutes. I'm like, uh, this is I did it, the FIU thing a couple of weeks ago, like it's hard walking around and just, you know, like talking to me on Taylor's, like,
Starting point is 00:10:46 ah, we're just gonna do this for 12 straight minutes. I'm like, this is the first time we talk about this. I didn't plan for this at all. It's like, wasn't that easy. But you shouldn't be looking for great games. You should be looking for great environments, right? Yeah, so the thing is, is a great game produces a great environment.
Starting point is 00:11:01 So like last week, we'll hopefully have a video sometime this week of me in LA and that environment sucked, even though it was a really good game. And so most of the content we do is all tailgate stuff. We get there a couple hours early, we walk around, we sense the vibes. But when it's a game that people care about, they're more excited, the environment is better. But they're not going to drink in Utah and that's kind of the big thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:24 So I'm telling you, you go to the landing at Jacksonville for this game. It will be the best environment you've ever seen. I don't know about that. It's pretty good, Billy. No, I mean, yeah, like the environment would probably be better if you go to that game, but the game is not going to be as good as Utah. But I feel like you should go to like Ole Miss or something, right? Like don't they have like great tailgates?
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, we definitely want to go to Ole Miss at a certain point. The problem is it's wild. The college football season, we've got a mudflifft of the regular season, which is super sad. So we try, we try to be smart about, you know, going different places, talking to different fans, trying to do different conferences. I've had the most fun going to SEC in big 10 games so far,
Starting point is 00:11:59 but this is the last year of the pack 12. It's the best teams. It's this whole weird thing. Don't live a tart. How do people always go missing in the mountains? Don't go to the mountains. And by the way, I don't want to bring races. This is the most white people thing ever going missing in the middle of the mountains. It's the strangest thing. You go by yourself, you don't take a radio, you don't take a phone, you're missing for four days and they find you like 10 years later
Starting point is 00:12:22 covered in snow. And it's like, don't go by yourself. If you're going in snow and it's like don't go by yourself if you're gonna go on a trail don't go by yourself. Stugots. Put it on the pole. Is it the widest person thing ever? I believe is what you called it going into the woods by yourself. Is going into the woods by yourself. I can't disagree with that man. So so black people don't camp. Yeah black people don't hike. They don't camp. They don't go on to the woods. VCs, they don't live at our show. With their stugats.
Starting point is 00:12:50 What are we doing for full season? Oh, that's a good question. No idea. No question. I would like to go to as many ball games as possible. Because we send you to every ball game. We can try. They have seven in a day.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I know, but we just get like the metal or jet and just have you like her street it. We have one of those. I're seven in a day. I know, but we just get the metal or jet and just have you like her street it. We have one of those. I'm sure there's something's on the line. That would be really fun, Dan would say yes if I pitched it to him. No, we wouldn't. Yes, we wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Maybe. What if I said please. The bait of a fish. Well, how about this? And I'm not gonna mention any names because I don't wanna break any rules or anything like that. But I very clearly remember when we were at Super Bowl this past year that's two got kept pushing a certain private jet name over and over again.
Starting point is 00:13:33 He's like, buddy, trust me. This is approved. Don't worry. I'm like, I don't know about this. But he's like, yeah, trust me. Trust me. It's awesome. I'm all this is over. You could say you could say I'm like, I don't know about that. And he's like, you're going to get a flight home. Trust me. You're going to get a flight home on a plane. Well, the problem was, I was on the circuit. I think you were going to Miami. No, no, no, but on the front, and he's like, buddy, they're gonna get me with the Syracuse.
Starting point is 00:13:51 They're gonna get you home. Well, we didn't fly right, because you didn't believe in me and had you believed in me and we talked about wheels up the entire weekend when I told you, I mean, you wouldn't have to fly home. That's what I was trying. So I think it's got the appelt on the air
Starting point is 00:14:02 to promote wheels up, and that's how I got my flight home, you know, it was very strange situation Great plane, but I am thinking If you have this relationship then maybe this can benefit like maybe you talk to these people we get the wheels in motion now And we have you know said airline company, which I won't say and they're the presenting sponsor of Lucy visits every single bowl game And they're gonna have to be on standby and it's going to be a terrible month for you just so you know, because like getting on six flights a day is going to be. But what does she do when two bull games start at the same time on the same day?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Because it happens. You just go, you cover some of it from one game that you leave. Yeah, you're not there for the whole game. It's impossible. They're all on Florida, so it won't be that far to go. I think this is nice because we can go Bahamas bowl to Little Seasers bowl. Right, the Hula bowl in Orlando. I'd hope a Tato bowl.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Can I go with you? Of course. You're not going to put this. If I get the plane done, I'm going, though. But you're not. That's the thing. Like, you say these things and you don't really want to do it. Do you want to come with us?
Starting point is 00:15:01 No, and I'll tell you I don't want to come. And it's not a personal thing. It's a, I don't want to and it's not a personal thing. It's a I don't want to go to 70 bull games thing. It's like it's I'm just being honest with you. With Lucy though on a private jet. No, I get it, but I don't want to do that. And it's not a personal thing. I also don't want to tell you like because you I've learned stew gots. You just want to be invited to things. I do. Yeah,'t want to get to invite is what it's all about. Put it on the pole, right?
Starting point is 00:15:27 You don't want to do the things, but you want to get, especially if other people get the invite, you want to get the invite to do it, like, trust tree here, everybody here, trust tree. We're all in trust tree, yeah. Branches. Stugots didn't have any interesting going to LA. What?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Would have liked the invite, I think. No, I'm okay. Well, when mean when I mean blast you know when a mean was there though I feel like I've been in three years man. Are you getting me? I'll go about that. I'll go you're gonna go to every bowl game with it. I will go I got no step into the breach. Yes, huh? I mean you do have other things to do your father you have a family to raise. Oh, yeah, that's right It takes a lot of time that that's true. I got a phone. You got things to do. Your father, you have a family to raise. Oh yeah, that's right. Takes a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:16:06 That's true. I got a phone. You got a phone, what does that mean? Yeah, yeah, phone. I got a little video thing. What are you going to do when you go to the bowl games with Lucy? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Whatever Lucy tells me to do. I do think that it's acting cool. I do think that it would be good content to have Lucy be like super energetic and enjoying it and you not. Like, that's always been kind of like a dream of mine is to do a travel show where like I'm the not eager person and there's like a super eager beaver that loves doing the thing and then there's like the person
Starting point is 00:16:36 that's not and I'm the person that's not. Like I always thought that it would be funny and obviously like we're not anywhere near the same level so it never would have happened. But I always thought it would have been funny like if me and Marty Smith traveled the country together to cover games and he's like, ah, we're going to get shot out of a cannon. I'm like, ah, no, we're not going to do that, Marty. And then that's like the whole dynamic of the show.
Starting point is 00:16:54 He's really eager to eat like cheese straight out of something. Some cow just made cheese or he's like, ah, he takes like a mouthful and I'm like, that's disgusting. Not doing that. It's a Marty party though. Yeah, no, I know. I'm like the party pooper. It's a Marty party though. Yeah, no, I know. And I'm like the party pooper. I'm a Marty party pooper. You really are.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah. You aren't. That should be your new party. The Marty party pooper. Yeah. I've just heard word from Jacksonville correspondent that says the landing that Stugots keeps telling Lucy to go to has been demolished.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Oh, no. That's just scary. They relocated, huh? I mean, where is it now? Up so old that you let me finish his things. Where's the game? Still in Jacksonville, just not at the landing. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:36 Don't go Lucy. He pissed and stipped off at 7.10. Tony, you excited? Yeah, it's funny because we were talking earlier, like it's already basketball season. 7.30. We just finished talking about basketball. Oh man, that is a lie. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:17:50 It's opening night, Billy. I took a game. It's $5. Well, I didn't think we were actually making a conference. I was just trying to throw that in to have that PR coverage. Wait, so is the pull-ups?
Starting point is 00:17:58 So they have two places to choose from for you to go. And you're committed to doing this? Yeah, I was going to go to one or the other, either way, and it couldn't decide and I already texted my brother and asked and he said he didn't know. So. Okay. That's, wow.
Starting point is 00:18:09 You're putting a lot of faith in our fans and like salute to you for doing that. I don't know, I said salute. I just thought it's too, too, too, too, too. Yeah. They're two good options though. Like next weekend's gonna be difficult because I just realized that USC plays Washington
Starting point is 00:18:21 and that's at USC and that's close though. That's home for you though. Yeah, I don't wanna go to that. I can't see USC this weekend home for you though. Yeah, I don't want to go to that You don't see USC this weekend and I was like I didn't even cry. Okay, I did even cry Is that like a mainstay of like things that you do you cry when you get to a game? Yeah, it's usually an emotional experience right right so cool and it's such a wonderful environment Everyone's all together rooting for stuff. I didn't cry there. It didn't it didn't make me want to cry I'm gonna cry at North Western and Iowa
Starting point is 00:18:43 I didn't cry there. It didn't it didn't make me want to cry. I'm gonna cry at North Western and Iowa. You'll cry. You're guaranteed a lot of tears at that one. San tears and happy tears. San tears that I have to endure first half. Happy tears when my daughter gets her national championship ring and I'm out of there. Did you get one tears for me? Are you getting a replica? You know, we had the coach on if you remember right after they won. Yeah. And I told her that all the parents that went to every single game and I was one of them like one of five, they should all get national championship rings. Now, if you remember Kelly Hiller, she agreed to that. She's the coach. I don't remember that point. She did agree to it. I'm telling you, I've listened to it several times. I've sent it to an attorney
Starting point is 00:19:18 because it's a binding contract. So I'm expecting a ring at Rigglyfield on Saturday. Yeah, I am. Marty Party Pooper. Yeah. It would have been a terrible show, but. I had a whole series of shows in my head that either didn't age well because of things happening or they were just completely unrealistic that I thought would have been great that I've talked about before. I don't think I've ever told the Marty Party Pooper one, but that was one that I wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I wanted to do, and there was controversy around it, so it didn't happen, and now we're never gonna chance because he passed, but I wanted to do a like, Mike Leach, like Treasure Hunt show slash Mike Leach teaches me American history show. Where I'm just going to like random battlefield or whatever with Mike Leach, and he's just like, giving me all this information just because he's seen
Starting point is 00:20:06 like kind of a crazy person. But that one obviously is not gonna happen anymore. Rest in power. And then there was the whole Jose Konseko big foot thing that didn't happen. That one we still have some legs with. Yeah, I'm trying to get something, and we probably shouldn't talk about this,
Starting point is 00:20:18 I'm trying to get something done to the Super Bowl with Jose Konseko. If we're gonna be there in Las Vegas and that's where he was, I think he either sold his car wash or his car wash was for sale. So I don't know If we're gonna be there in Las Vegas and that's where he was, I think he either sold his car wash or his car wash was for sale. So I don't know that we're gonna be able to do car wash related things, but like, I wouldn't mind going, if I die, I would, but I wouldn't mind going into the desert
Starting point is 00:20:35 with Jose Conzaco looking for, you know, like supernatural beings and having a very show on the ropes. Yeah, yeah. We could take it all the way to the line. Nothing happens when you go into area 51. the military just tells you to go back with guns But if you get to know because I've heard about it, right? And if you get to that point friend of mine did it on mushrooms if you get to that point That seems like not a good idea
Starting point is 00:20:56 To a military base on my shirt. Something Jake Plumber would do. I mean, no, his are healthy Exactly, his own psychedelic. Yeah, but if you go all the way there to the fence the military just tells you to turn around and keep going back So we can go all the way to area 51 with Jose Conceco, but it'll send Ozzy could say go of course He will I would take that I would be great Hell yeah, that'd be such a good story. What are you talking about? You're gonna be disappointed It's already happened though. Okay. Yeah, but you think that my disappointment would be like Jose Gonzago tried to one up us and gave us his brother with different tattoos. Like we'd be I'd play along and be like, Oh, K. Oh, say like this is great when it's clearly not just calm. Jose the entire time. Exactly. Yeah. Tony
Starting point is 00:21:36 was giving us his thoughts on the heat and then Billy just interrupted him. Like you brought it up. He was giving his thoughts. Yeah. And then you went in a different direction. We're going to get to it later. We will eventually. We're gonna get... Mike Cheryl tell us about it or something. Yeah, he'll tell us that he's scared about the heat, even though he are possibly not as good as they were last year. But the most important thing is we just started talking about this team and now we're talking
Starting point is 00:21:55 about them again. Like the season just ended and feels like we're starting back over right now. But I'm excited for the heat, man. Like, they got to figure something out because they struck out in free agency a couple times and It's not looking great. Well, okay, but you just said you're excited for it. So what I'm excited for the NBA season I don't think they are gonna be very good like listen I don't kind of doubting Jimmy Butler because I didn't think he could be a number one I didn't think he could be the best guy on a team and lead that team to the NBA finals
Starting point is 00:22:22 He's done it. It's twice right and he And he's went to the Eastern Conference Finals, they were shot away. But Milwaukee and Boston, too good. Like, too good. And I'd be surprised that they heat during the top four in the playoffs. Very surprised. I'm not even certain that he'd
Starting point is 00:22:35 are gonna make the playoffs. How about that? Well, they're playing. This is my question as like a heat cynic, what is, what should I be excited about for this season? Like what should I be looking for and be like happy to see tonight? Development of the younger guys, hopefully, no, development is not.
Starting point is 00:22:53 But that's what we do. But you start with the development is like that, I always tell. But that's what the heat do, right? They turn guys into gay vincenies and those truths that go get to deal somewhere else. What Riley used to do was forget about the young guys, no development, and go get LeBron Wade and Bosch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Okay. What he's doing now is selling you on, hey, we'll develop the young guys. They're all interchangeable. Gabe Vincent, goodbye, we'll get someone else. Max Drew's goodbye, we'll get someone else. The heat are not good enough. They are not good enough to contend in the Eastern Conference.
Starting point is 00:23:21 They're not. I agree with you. The both conferences are top heavy, right? And then there's a bunch of teams that are in the middle that are just hoping to make the playoffs to then get destroyed by one of the top teams. The thing is the heat last year with a better team and a better roster were a play in team.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Of course, I feel I'm convinced that the only reason why they've made it to the NBA Finals because we said they weren't gonna do anything. So it's just a karma of that. You're giving us the credit. Yeah, no, it was all of a sudden. I'm all of a proud of you. It was 100% us.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah. But if we were to tell, hey, yeah, the heat are gonna make it this year all the way and be a typical Miami fan, then they're gonna get blown out every game. Huh. Just the way it happens, man. So how do you feel about this season?
Starting point is 00:24:00 I feel like they're gonna be a play in team. But if they're playing, you have to go one or the other. Like, either they're good and then they are bad. No, they're average. They're bad. Well if they're playing, you have to go one or the other, like either they're good and then they are bad. No, they're average. They're bad. They're played in and went to the finals last year. Yeah, I know. They're playing team.
Starting point is 00:24:10 But by your logic, you should say that they're gonna be terrible and then they'll be good. All right, they're gonna be terrible. We got to it. We can't observations coming up next. Don't live a tart. The alley has a bad reputation in general, right? It does.
Starting point is 00:24:24 For out American history. Yeah. But on South Beach, someone's always just sitting somewhere Don Lebertard! The alley has a bad reputation in general, right? It does. Brought American history. But on South Beach, someone's always just sitting somewhere, smoking a cigarette. You can't go down an alley around here and not see someone sitting there smoking a cigarette. It retains a pulsating heat from the night before. You walk by some liquid that your like is that water. It's rain last night. That's definitely not water. Avoid the liquid. Always avoid the liquids in an alley.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Stugats! I venture, guess, that if you were to rake your tongue on the asphalt of an alley, you would die immediately. I don't think it would be immediately though. First you'd contract very quickly right before death several sexual diseases, and then you would die. This is the Don Lebertar Show with this Tugats! Guys, we have very big news that I've just been made aware of really yeah, this could In my bad news not Billy. Thank news, but big news. That Billy. Bigness. Oh, okay. All gonna Hawaii Thank you Billy. Wow, I can't talk to you. Wow you came through man I haven't done that yet, but this this may impact Lucy's go to every bowl game Actually, it doesn't impact at all because the bowl game still exists,
Starting point is 00:25:26 but there was a sponsor change at a bowl game that's to gots may interest you and may impact God bless football. Really? So do you guys remember the Jimmy Kimmel bowl or whatever it was called? Yeah. No longer.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Really? Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel is out of the Jimmy Kimmel bowl or whatever it was called. Fallon? Yeah, in LA. Fallon. That's the Myers. It is now, as it was announced this weekend, the LA bull hosted by Groanck.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Oh my God. So Rob Grantowski is sort of sponsoring a bull game. Not Gord? Well, here's what I've learned in our years of dealing with the Grand Cowskeys. They travel in a pack. They are like wolves. So, if Rob Grand Cowske has a bowl game, Gordy Grand Cowske, Chris Grand Cowske, all of the Grand Cowskeys have a bowl game.
Starting point is 00:26:14 And I feel like Lucy, I see you already checking. It's December 16th, Mark your calendar. This is a Saturday. We're there. I've never been to LA. I've never been to LA. I wonder if this is the... What? Yeah, I've never been to LA. I've never been to LA. I wonder if this is the, what's? Yeah, I've never been to LA.
Starting point is 00:26:29 I wonder if this is what we need to do to go out to LA to cover this bowl game between teams that we don't know. And also is it worth it going to LA just for like a day? That's an upgrade though, right? Jimmy Kimmel to Grock. I mean, it is. It's an upgrade. Okay, so like,mel to Grock. I mean, it is. It's an upgrade. Okay, so like, there's only certain things
Starting point is 00:26:47 that you can do. It's just a sponsor, right? Like it's like, do you remember when it was like, so we had like years of Barstool has a bowl game and then it got canceled the first year, I think, because a team pulled out or I don't know what happened. Something happened the first year and I think they did it last year
Starting point is 00:27:01 and they you realize like, it's kind of just a bowl game. I think it depends where you have a bowl like the Idaho potato bowl. The winner gets dumped in front of us. That's very cool. Okay. Same thing with the Duke's May O'Ball. I think it matters when it's a food. That's less cool.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Again, don't want to miss. It's so funny. But I'm going, oh my God, I would kill to see Iowa in that bowl game. But what do we, what do we think a grog ball game is going to be because like, here's another thing that we've been discussing behind the scenes and now we'll just say publicly and then see if that kind of gets the wheels in motion, is we've been invited the past couple of years and have always left before the Grog Beach party
Starting point is 00:27:35 happens at the Super Bowl. And this year, it's happening on a Friday afternoon and we behind the scenes have talked to the Krakowskis and they're like, do you wanna just do the show from there? And we're like, yes please. So we need to kind of figure out who we need to talk to and who needs to talk to, who about that. Because it's like, we're gonna go cover the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:27:54 We're gonna be there on Friday. If we could just delay it by like a day, then we can just do a show from there, which seems like it would be absurd. But now we're also adding to the wrinkle, do we wanna go cover a bowl game between two teams that could be like Minnesota and whoever, you know.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Hold up, Minnesota beat Iowa this weekend, so we respect them a lot. Okay, we respect Minnesota. We respect them a ton. Even though we haven't gotten your thoughts on this game, on this show, I don't know if you covered it in LA, I'm sure you did, but like ridiculous. Terrible call, terrible, terrible call.
Starting point is 00:28:24 However, if you have like two yards of offense and a half, yeah, you deserve to lose. Terrible call. Yeah. Terrible terrible call. However, if you have like two yards of offense and a half, yeah, you deserve to lose. Right. It's on you. Yeah. That's your unfold. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:28:33 We have weekend observations on a Wednesday. We do. Yeah. We have to get to it at some point. Let's do it right now. Oh. In this time for us two guys to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened
Starting point is 00:28:44 better than my boy's stew. Weekend observations on a Wednesday brought to you by Miller Light. Great taste. 96 calories available for delivery. We spent a good portion of last week discussing whether or not this legendary coach was done. That was then, this is now. Because after a 29-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills and recording, the 300th win of his career, Dan, make no mistake about it. Bill Belicek is back. Speaking of back, the God bless football curses back.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Our apologies to Mac Brown. And Taylor. You're right. Personal record book update. Due to the 219 wins with Tom Brady as his quarterback, Bella Check only has 81 career victories. About that. Ways to go.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Not as good. Now. To the guy having a heater in the alley in Evanston, Illinois wearing a late text glove. How do you play? Have you ever thought of that? No. A late text glove? No, not until I saw him. We discussed it in the alley over a heater. Savvy vet. Yeah, that was great. I'm like, what's the glove for? He goes on my hands don't smell. I'm like, you have an extra. Yeah, that was great. I'm like, what's the glove for? He goes on my hands don't smell. I'm like, do you have an extra? You didn't

Got a toast to him we can't even too quickly either because then that the gelatin. Yeah. It's in the roof of your mouth. Burns your mouth.
Starting point is 00:31:09 My enemies might be there. And Notre Dame might be there. What a great opposite. It's true. I've been so many pop darts that have burned the shit out of my mouth. Yeah. Yeah. The shocking thing wasn't the fair catch call.
Starting point is 00:31:22 It was that I was scored a touchdown. Special teams is great. I'm convinced he threw a flag saying there was that I was scored a touchdown Special teams is great. I'm convinced he threw a flag saying there's no way they scored a touchdown It's the second time we almost won a game with a special team score 12 to 10 is so Iowa and Minnesota the go first A little high if you're if're, if we're being honest. Okay, we own 22 points, Lucy. A little high. Okay, my bet. Death.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Taxes. At Penn State. Losing that game. 20 to 7 Tennessee in the first half. 27, nothing Alabama in the second half. You of course know what that means, right Dan? What's that? Oh, thank you. I have to do it. Somebody has to do it. It means
