Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show.

Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow show. Shadow in it. Shadow in it. Do we know the whereabouts of Stugat? Anyone? Yeah, he's flying.

He's flying right now? Yeah, yeah, he's flying. Said he'll be here at 9.45 or 10. I said, that doesn't work. Tipkot was football at 7.30 in the morning. And he said, oh, we can do it after the show. I go, well, I don't think people wanna wait until two o'clock for a Super Bowl recap,

so I'm gonna have to do that one solo. So that's what I did. At least he was at the Super Bowl covering the game, right? That's why he was, right? No, no, lacrosse season has started. So Stugatz is going to come in here. Am I the only one that knows this? Did he not tell anyone?

I assumed that someone was, this was run by someone. I was aware that he'd be late today Lacrosse went head-to-head with a Super Bowl look It was a week. We don't need to get into it. I want to get into I want to need to get I want I don't want to get into that. I want to get into your week I want to hear about about Braxton Barrios flying up with him. I want to hear all of your Stories from the Super Bowl was it a miserable experience. Did you not enjoy chasing stugats around? I saw more interviews. I saw a God Bless Football YouTube channel has appeared. I suggest people subscribe to that. And I saw that a bunch of videos. 19 in one day

ended up on that page. Did they end up there? I was, oh we don't need to get into it. I was wondering where some of those interviews ended up. I don't see them anywhere, but you know, we go and we do work. We go and we do work and except Friday, we canceled all those interviews because someone had a flight and he had to get out of town and everybody else had to wait until seven o'clock for their flight because we didn't know

what time his flight was at. So we could have moved up five hours, but instead we were just kind of walking around New Orleans, trying to figure out, twiddling our thumbs as they say. But hey, we're back, we're here. Don't worry about it. Did you do a Colin Cowhert-esque show today? Like solo?

Just you the whole time? No, no. So for those of you who enjoy God Bless Football on the DraftKings network, you're gonna watch it tonight. This is what happened. I didn't wanna wait until two o'clock to publish a Super Bowl recap episode

because I thought for the podcast listeners that was a little ridiculous. So I did one and Mike Ye was there, Fuentes was there, you know, kind of helping out. So, you know, we had a little threesome, if you will, sometimes some people call it that. A little bit of that. But, you know, it's just kind of two of us talking it out. And then through the magic of production later on the DraftKings network, all of us will be there because we're gonna do another exact same God bless football after the show today so that we can get that out on the DraftKings network.

But again, I was gonna wait to get the podcast out because people aren't used to podcasts at that time, so I had to give it to the podcast listeners. You know what I mean? We just had a meeting with Stugatz about being more considerate about his schedule. I was about to be proud of him for all the hard work that he did. He only considers his schedule He's being more considerate of his schedule

Only his can you guys tell me what you imagine? For the people who have no earthly idea what the movie when Harry met Sally is What they made of that commercial if you don't have any context for what that is, if you don't, when's the last time Meg Ryan's been in anything? Like is there not a generation of people who don't even know who Meg Ryan is? I don't know, but last night my dad called Meg Ryan

Meg Griffin and we all pointed and laughed at him like that one meme with the mannequins. Yeah. That's family guy you idiot. I called Pete Davis and Pete Wentz. Oh my God. Yeah, I'm your that one meme with the mannequins. That's family guy, you idiot. I call Pete Davidson Pete Wentz. Oh my god. Yeah, I'm your dad's age. This is how the aging happens.

You guys have heard it happen to me here over the last five years. You just start misplacing names. But if you don't, if you haven't seen When Harry Met Sally, and you don't know who Meg Ryan is, and it's a mayonnaise commercial,'s all of a sudden somebody is pantomiming an orgasm in a restaurant that you don't know risque for the time risque kind of for now risque back then and and I haven't seen a whole lot of pantomime I haven't seen a whole lot of sponsors say you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna pantomime an orgasm she worked in 2023 but before that it was 2015 you think she should haveime an orgasm. She worked in 2023, but before that it was 2015.

You think she should have had a real orgasm? Is that what you're saying? Yes, that's all. Meg Ryan did the same movie 50 times, right? Like in the Hey Day Meg, like Sleepless in Seattle, when Harry Metz... Like it was all the same movie over and over again, right? Rom-coms.

You've got mail. I mean, isn't Liam Neeson... All right, who makes the same movie over and over more Liam Neeson Jason Statham. No, I was gonna say not Statham Meg Ryan This is the Don Leventhal show with the StuGuts podcast I don't know why it is that I was caught slightly off guard by this yesterday, but America enjoying that excellent team exposed, not just booing Taylor Swift, but taking what

marks for excellence in America's most popular sport. Enjoying seeing it lose? I didn't, I'm not processing what the last three years has done for us. In terms of football analysis, this one's easy. We can spend all the time you guys want on the pop culture of the game, because the analysis of the game is this simple. When the difference between one team's offensive line and

one team's defensive line is that and one team's defensive line and offensive line is that and one team has both of the superior units and it's that overt to the eye where you're like oh my god they're just better at all that up front. Throughout the history of football, Pop Warner High School, college and pros, that team is undefeated, has never lost a game. When you hold the Chiefs to 23 yards in the first half and you score 24 points on them, that's not the Chiefs you remember.

That's the Chiefs that figured out a way to win and you cannot overcome, not with Spags, not with Andy Reid, not with Patrick Mahomes, those differences up front where they're giant differences and you're watching and you're like, oh my God, they can't get near Hertz and they're getting Mahomes every time, sacking him more without even bothering to blitz. It looked just like the Tampa Bay thing all over again, but in that game, Kansas City's offensive line was hurt.

In this one, it just got ravaged. I mean, we covered this two weeks ago Dan it's Nick Wright's fault. The Chiefs fans got really loud and really annoying and there's nothing that people who are fans of teams that don't make the Super Bowl like more than to root against the fans that are very happy and that was Chiefs fans for the last couple years. I just wish I mean we're speaking about it like it was obvious. I would have sounded so smart had I known that before the game I didn't know that the difference between

Along the trenches was what it turned out to be and I don't think anyone did and in fact several people on ESPN were caught Within the 24 hours span switching their picks including Dominique like this was a hard game to predict It was inside one-and-a-half points. I do feel like the pregame analysis was like pretty spot on though. It was like the Eagles probably should win this game, but Patrick Mahomes has like the magic hand sometimes. And so you can't pick against Patrick Mahomes, but he had one of the worst games I think he's ever had.

And like, to some extent, I think that's what happens when a game spirals out of control that quickly. Like you can't run the ball a lot when you're already down 17 points early. So it was not a great game for the type of offense that they wanted to play. But yeah, the Eagles just like they dominate, they mash them. The thing that I found interesting because the coverage before the game was pretty much telling you Philadelphia's defense is exceptional

unlike any that Kansas City had seen so far in the playoffs and we knew that Jalen Hurts is maybe Philadelphia's seventh best offensive player at what he does because they've got so many good players but what we didn't know is that when you match them up it would look physically like that up front. Like you could be watching the Philadelphia defense all season. You could know that Cooper DeGene is one of the best cornerbacks in the game

and was all season. And I mean, that's the biggest white cornerback moment, pick six in the history of the sport. Name another. Well, I imagine there might be some in the 60s, the 70s. I imagine in the 50s, there's something. There was a seahorn. No, but that seahorn got scorched in the Super Bowl.

That seahorn might as well have been playing the entire game with a comb, a brush in his hair. Wasn't there a Lynch? John Lynch? Yes, there was a John Lynch. Thank you for clarifying. Yes, thank you. I mean, it took way too long for you to answer that. Well, because you don't understand why. You don't understand why. Wasn't there a Lynch?

You don't know why it is? John Lynch was a safety. Pink Dexter Jackson had a bigger game that time. The number of things that happened in that game, I'm not going to act like I'm unsurprised because yeah, the Chiefs were favored by a point. And so the money was on the idea of, yeah, we kind of know that Philadelphia is better, but we're scared of Mahomes, which is how we've been doing it for about three years.

And all season long in all of those one score games, Mahomes was doing it. And then when he plays the Bills that don't have this defense, I mean pressure with four wrecks everything. There isn't a quarterback who has played. There ain't one. I mean, maybe Lamar because he can move away from it, maybe. But if I get pressure with four all game, I'm going to beat all quarterbacks for the rest of time.

Tom Brady, Tom Brady among them. That's how his undefeated season ended up ending just because the Giants could get pressure with four. The best team Tom Brady's ever had. Like if you want to tell me something in the sport that you could give me after quarterback as a thing, I'd want pressure with four. It's a numbers game.

It tilts the math in your favor. You all of a sudden get to take what was believed to be a mediocre at best wide receiver core for Kansas City and you get to just stack more really good pass defenders as they've been, as the numbers and advanced metrics bear out all season long. I just didn't think that that defensive line

could go an entire Super Bowl without blitzing and and just cave that that entire pocket in because you mentioned Lamar Jackson Patrick Holmes is pretty mobile and every time he was trying to use his mobility to escape there wasn't an outlet they just collapsed the entire pocket around well you say he's pretty mobile and he is you're right he actually did some things in that game that were reminiscent of in Tampa when he's doing loop-de-loops loops because he just got a run away from the solution he is a lucid buddies slower than he's been

he you could see the rust falling off him if you've been watching that offense for the last five years like you see the differences you you see that their over differences where they've got to beat you fifteen plays at a time they're very rarely going to go down the field the way they did for the first touchdown but what you saw in that game that is unusual because the reason i say lamar jackson is because he's the best athlete in the sport patrick mahomes is among them but those four defensive lineman were him athletically like he wasn't going to

be getting away from them in a way like these were fat guys chasing it like the these were not the these were this wasn't just pressure up the middle sweat keeps coming over on the ends and they've got no answer for swing span that's what should have been mvp and jay and i say as someone i was really impressed with what you know it's dead and sweat was just a demi-god last night billy what did you talk about on god bless football did you analyze footballer did you do the pop culture stuff because the pop culture stuff the top the top of the list is Kendrick Lamar, right? It's the top of the list of pop culture things that people were grabbing off of the Super Bowl to talk

about? If you think that I spent an hour breaking down Kendrick Lamar, you will be disappointed in God Bless Football this week, I will say. What did you? We talked some football, Dan. We talked some pigskin. We did some commercials. We did some stuff. We played a game of more or less Mike Lee.

So, you know, things that we do. Okay, do you not want to bring attention to God Bless Football today? No, I do. And promote it correctly? No, it's not that I don't want to bring attention to it. I just, I, you know, I have to walk a tightrope here so that I don't recycle, you know,

the things that I did so I don't want to do. But if you want, we could play a game of more or less Mike Lee real quickly, a little preview. No, no, that's okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, answer. Which is more Mike Lee? That Drew Barrymore has been on an MSC cruise or that Eugene Levy has ever eaten Little Caesars? I like this game. I gotta go with the cruise. Because the cruise, I saw the cruise commercial and I said I am never gonna step on a cruise ship and Drew Barrymore is just gonna be hanging out at this cruise ship. Like it's very un-Mike Lee that this situation happened. It's called more or less Mikely,

because we have someone on the show that's named Mikey, damn. So the other one though, was immediately followed up back to back commercials with Eugene Levy telling us about Little Caesars. And Eugene Levy, never in his life has been to a Little Caesars, and I am willing to die on that.

I am willing to go down with that ship, because I don't think that he even, when approached, knew what Little Caesar's was. And I'm basing that, yes sure, on his character in the public and the way that he behaves, but I've been watching his show on Apple, Apple Plus, Apple whatever it's called, and he's there and he's, you know, on vacation and he's in all these opulent hotels and he's visiting all these destinations and you can tell that his life is not one that involves Little Caesar's, and there's nothing wrong with Hot and Ready Pizza. There's nothing wrong with Little Caesar's.

There's nothing wrong with those giant heating microwaves that you have to go in, you have to put in codes, and then a little door opens, and you get out your Little Caesar's. Nothing wrong with any of that. I just don't think that this is something that Eugene Levy has ever done in his life. You've made that clear.

The poppers looked delicious. Well, I would be willing to bet he has had a bite of a Little Caesars pizza, but he's definitely never had a crazy puff, right? Like that's where I'm like, I really doubt that he would have had one of those. And also his eyebrows aren't gonna fly off when he eats one if he does.

Yeah, that's less Mikely. There's plenty of Little Caesars in Canada where he's from, around Hamilton. This guy was a struggling comedian up and coming in Canada. I imagine there were a lot of pizza nights. I just, I've got to tell you that I think Billy is coming in aggressive today. Super Bowl week is a lot, okay? So when he says out loud on a national and international forum that he's willing to die because he removed the hill and just made it he's willing to die. Yeah, it took it too far. Yeah, over guessing whether or not Eugene Levy has eaten a Little Caesar,

ever eaten at Little Caesar's. You're saying that this is blanketly something that he's just taking money to do. There were flying mustaches in one commercial, there were flying eyebrows in his commercial, there was a commercial for Jesus and both Snoop and Tom Brady weren't a commercial for hate. Well, the biggest diss track of all time is being played during half time. So was Kendrick wearing the A, the details on this, I need you guys to help me with. I've checked the internet, it's pronounced levy. Okay, thank you. Did anyone catch Kendrick walking up onto the stage

like behind like right before they went to break to toss it to the commercial? I mean to the halftime show you see him behind Jimmy Johnson on their set just casually walking up the stairs. Well, there's no way they wanted that revealed. You also mentioned Jesus and he gets us. I love that he gets us, but he also doesn't get the meaning of that song the same way that conservatives don't get born in the USA Is that it was that a Marilyn Manson song like which it there was a famously to Peshmoe and mean he covered born in the USA No personal Jesus The ad for Jesus is paid for by whom because Jesus isn't putting that out like and I didn't see like a church attached To it.

I just saw- I'm sure it's whatever lobbying group has been behind most of the Supreme Court cases. There was some.com at the end of it. Bad way. Okay, well let's talk, let's talk- He's with us.com or something. Immaculate Foundation.

So let's talk a minute about what it is that this whole thing was, because the NFL does big so very well, so gluttonous, so grotesque. That Brad Pitt commercial before the game, so overdone, so overwritten. And you gotta be careful there. The reason why it was overdone,

because I also felt that a little bit. I'm like, this is a little over the top. And I also realized what New Orleans has gone through. Yes, of course. Of course the coverage and the club coverage did a very good job of all of that. But when Michael Strahan is coming out onto Bourbon Street and saying, you know, this is the time

that we come together, it's what we do. We do around the Super Bowl, but football taking and waving that flag proudly around itself while taking end racism out of the end zone and trying to navigate today's stuff while being the corporate entity that normalizes the idea that corporations do have to back down to the present president of the United States. Do you think that's what was at play or they didn't want people making the observation that you have end racism in the end zone

while the Seminole War chant is going on? The things that they do to package on Fox television are very smartly done. They used a ton of Tom Brady. Tom Brady was earning his 375 million yesterday coming out and doing skits and t-shirts where my wife's looking at him and she's like, why does he look like a nerd? Well, he didn't know how to tuck that shirt in. He kind of went in between.

That was a lovely performance by Lady Gaga. Tom Brady was not terrible yesterday. What? That's, I agree. That's the take. No. He was fine. No. Guys, he was cut off's, that's the take. No, he was fine. No guys. He was cut off mid sentence headed into a commercial break.

Guys. Besides that. I actually saw the value in Tom Brady, having some of those restrictions lifted and being able to talk to coaches before. And I thought he brought some insight there. And I'm happy that a producer finally pulled them aside. It's like, Hey, you've won seven of these.

You've literally seen every situation. Let's have a little brief story. Every 15 seconds or so, whenever there's a situation that you encountered when you played one of these. It was a bar in the second quarter where he's just like, I've been down more than this. When they were down 17, nothing. Fox debuted a new score bug

to distract people from Tom Brady. I'm with Billy. At one point they were like, Tom, Tom, what do they need to do here? And he's like, well, the Chiefs, they need to get a stop. And I'm like, wow. Well, they did.

That was a good point. But they didn't. And then the Eagles scored again. And then it was over. Okay, look. $400 million for that, Chris. Forgive me. Your expectations are all just too low.

So you're like, oh, that was better than I expected. I thought it was one of his better ones. It obviously was, but I am grading on a curve. She's also correct that it wasn't a good broadcast for a good broadcaster There was only like one or two mistakes No, well, no when you're trying to say that my homes is superhuman and you keep calling him unhuman Like no, that's not that's that's not he was not good. He was good for Tom Brady, which is bad that's not, he was not good, he was good for Tom Brady, which is bad.

Well, it's that little cute line about Saquon bobbling the ball, I might run him back soon. But you're right that someone got into his ear and said, tell the stories, because when you're listening to Tom Brady say what it feels like to lose one of those games and that he cannot speak afterward because he's so shell shocked after they lose to the Giants because the Giants had the pass rush that Philadelphia had.

Yeah, those insights were useful during the game. Greatest quarterback of all time telling you that he slept like a baby the first Super Bowl that he played in, napped and everything, and then by the last one he was nervous, couldn't get any sleep before. He could tell you that in a podcast, while someone else tells me what's going on in the game. I guess I've always seen more of the novelty and more of the value in simply the greatest of all time to ever do it. I've never had access to the greatest of all time

during a game broadcast, during the biggest games of all time. I've never had access to their thoughts like that. So the novelty, I do wish he were a little bit more charismatic. I do wish he were a little bit more charismatic. I do wish he was a little bit more brief. That's it though, like early in the game when it wasn't quite a blowout yet, just vibe-less.

It was just a vibe-less open to the Super Bowl. And I felt very melancholy and malaced. Anyone find it weird when the referee started the coin toss with, hi, I'm Ron Torbert? I was just like, why do we, do they always announce their names? Put it on the poll please, Juju. Did you find it weird when the referee said,

hi, I'm Ron Torbert? Just get to the coin toss. Like we're good. This is not about you, Ron. I'm your host for the evening. Hello, I'm Ron Torbert. I was like, wow, this is- He might as well just announce his address

cause you know he's gonna get doxxed right after that OPI to open the game. I was like, oh God, here we go again. What would they do if ol' Ron would have then told us like the law firm he works for right after? Like, oh, Ron Torber of, you know, Torber, Istur, and Green. You don't think they would have done the same thing

they did to the person who was arrested or detained for holding up Palestine, and like, because it's in the middle of the game, you do something? I don't think it would have been the same, no. do something I don't think I think you guys underestimate what it is that football will do to protect the sanctity of its sidelines I mean in this case they just sent an old white woman to chase after somebody until he got off the stage and then was promptly tackled well not even promptly didn't catch any of that shout out to the directors for cutting they do that so well honestly like I don't I don't

think we fathom how odd it is to have something that giant go out without like many hiccups except we weren't supposed to see Jimmy Johnson with Kendrick Lamar and Tom Brady still talking as they go to break like the perfection of these things on the details are art by like truly staggering to to imagine just the size and scope of what the nfl does best which is what they do best is that is giant is gluttonous and in that respect i suppose they can wave the flag on behalf of being representative

of like a greedy gluttonousous America that spends its Sunday, you know, gorging itself in an American holiday that everyone's a little hungover on today. I can't imagine how bad that flight that Stugatz is on, the red eye, how bad that smells. And it's from Chicago, it's from a totally different city. Still, but it's Super Bowl Monday. It's still Super Bowl Monday.

Tony. You know how much Jardinera they eat in Chicago on Super Bowl Sunday, Billy? How Super Bowl Monday. You know how much jargonera they eat in Chicago on Super Bowl Sunday, Billy? How are you doing this, Billy, where you think the plane's out of Chicago somehow? Malort farts. Have you ever had a malort fart? What the hell is Harry Connick Jr. doing

at the opening ceremony? You know he's famously from the area. That's all it takes to be the, like, walking in the Super Bowl to us? I'm from New Orleans? Yeah, are you not familiar with how this goes? Let there be a Super Bowl in Miami and guess who they try out.

I guarantee you, Harry Connick Jr. was like, I'd like to go to this Super Bowl. And they were like, you know what, you're from New Orleans? Oh, you can lead it. You can be the opening sit. It's ridiculous. When's the last time he did anything?

He's a legend. A legend. Yes. A legend. Yeah, Harry Connick Jr. is, especially to the area. Okay. I had a conversation with an Uber driver about Harry Connick Jr. because you were hearing

how he was at the Kelsey party and all this stuff. The Uber driver was like, you know, his dad was famously a DA here for 20 years. I'm like, I didn't know that. Why would I know that? I was like, was he any good? I'm like, yeah, yeah, he was a good DA, which I don't know who keeps rankings of their local DAs.

Uh-oh, he's got a controversy tab on his Wikipedia page, Harry Connick Jr. Uh-oh, all right, well, yeah, he was a good DA, which I don't know who keeps rankings of their local DAs. Uh-oh, he's got a controversy tab on his Wikipedia page, Harry Connick Sr. Uh-oh, all right, well, let's, okay. Precedential misconducts and innocence on Death Row is a subheader. Oh, so he was not a good DA. I'm glad we're here. I'm glad we're here the day after the Super Bowl

to talk about Harry Connick Sr. and his record as a DA. If they put him in some part of the broadcast or show him, he's from, like, of course. But it's just like, he was the first voice we heard. I was like, welcome to the Super Bowl. And then they panned down. And I'm just like, what? I'm with Chris in that, like, I feel like

if you were to have a quiz and you were like, is this a Harry Connick Jr. movie? Or is it not? Or is this a Harry Connick Jr. song? Or is it not? I think people, I don't think people would do very well on that quiz. I don't think that people would get like passing.

I think C plus is the best anyone in this room could do in terms of what has Harry Connick Jr. done besides be Harry Connick Jr. So please help me if you would at LeBittard Show, put it on the poll, Juju, is Harry Connick Jr. indeed a legend? And have you ever had a malort fart? No, that's not what I would have said. If that's what I wanted on the poll,

you don't get to just come in here and put that on the poll. I am confused, though, why it is that Billy thinks that a plane coming out of Chicago after the Super Bowl is going to smell any better than a plane coming out of any other city. New Orleans. I mean, people are, a plane out of Philadelphia today would be a disaster. Okay, so let's think about this for a second. So which do you imagine to be the foulest smelling plane today?

The red eye out of blank? Well, it has to be where the Super Bowl was. And which area famously has Malort? You say this, Chris, but I'm not sure that being at the Super Bowl is more debaucherous than being in your home Eating everything you're eating in your home on a Sunday half of one of those Carbill football cakes Super Bowl Sunday has become Thanksgiving has it not in terms of what it is that you do your to your body with the eating Like it's become it's become a second Thanksgiving

Is it not like in terms of how people still gots has been arguing for years that this day should be off, that they should have Super Bowl Saturday so that everybody can recover on Sunday from the foul foul things they did morning the end of the football season. Celebrating and morning... that's what the Super Bowls, by the way, used to be like before all the games were close in football. Like it used... all the time, for many many years we complained about how shitty the Super Bowl was. And no one seems to even remember that because all of a sudden, all the games in football are close. So yesterday's happened and you're like, oh, this isn't as fun at halftime.

What's the biggest status kicking since when? I know Buck Sheafs was a bit of an ass kicking. Since that same Eagles defense played against TCU in the national championship game three years ago. I guess Seahawks Broncos was also like a bit of an ass kicking, but that was, I mean, I just kept hopping on Eagles live, it was obvious from the jump. All right, a quick quiz here.

I have four names of albums and you tell me which one of these was a Harry Connick Jr album. He's a singer? Yeah, was it Off the Deep End, Even Worse, Mandatory Fun or Bad Hair Day? Bad hair day?

Yep. I mean, I met my quarterback. Yeah. As you know, as you know, Stu Gotts didn't talk to Aaron Rodgers. Nope. Stu Gotts thought country music superstar Jake Owen was Aaron Rodgers. They had a 20-minute conversation Identical twins. I mean Jesus Stugats listen, I will never have the relationship with Aaron Rodgers that I have with the guy that I thought

I mean that is the greatest conversation I've ever had with my cornerback. This is the Dunn LeBattar Show with the Stugats. It wasn't just Harry Connick Jr. No, he wasn't the first voice that we heard. That was like three hours into their broadcast. It was the opening number. Master P was also out there. There was a which marching band was out there. Was it Southern? Right.

It was it was a tie tie into all the local music. I'm glad you mentioned Master P, because he was just shown there's Master P walking in. He said, oh. Harry Connick Jr. was like leading, like, it was just a lot. But what he was leading, all right, just to be clear, this started at about 6 p.m. and the game is at 6.30. If he wants to hop up on there

and tickle some ivories, go ahead, brother. Also, 36 men convicted in Orleans Parish during Connick's 30 year tenure as DA have made allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and 19 have had their sentences overturned or reduced as a result. This is how we ruin everything. This is a bad track record.

Digging into the past of Harry Connick Jr.'s father, can't we just enjoy ourselves for just a moment before we get to the bad behavior that he descends from I want to know from the audience because I believe New Orleans to be a great American city and I think there are very few of them I don't know would you guys say there are five of them like I think there are five cities in America that are really good and perhaps even more. No, hold on a second. Great American city, the bones of the buildings have a certain history that when I tell you his father was a DA, you can imagine that time

in New Orleans because Harry Connick Jr. represents a symbol from a place. Like, this is a place that's proud to recover from things when the cemeteries are above ground there. It's a haunted, wonderful, dark, light city. It's also very French, so I don't know if does that make it an American, a great American city because it's like aggressively French. How many great American cities would you guys say there are? Are there five? Like where they're, because I'm not talking, I'm

talking about things where the architecture has a history and what it is that Harry Connick jr. means to those people that I think you're disrespecting when you guys speak of a non New Orleans attitude which I understand in not knowing who Harry Connick jr. is but I think you're just being disrespectful of what he represents to a region represents to I think most people don't care about Harry Connick jr. of all the shot at Harry Connick jr.? No, I didn't even know about his dad if I knew he was an nepotism, baby I would have supported him well now I'm just learning about his dad technically a nepo baby because he didn't become a da yet

But foot in the door honestly I'm not ripping that he is known for this area But it's just like there has to be more to the qualification than you're from New Orleans Okay, when the Super Bowl is here trick daddy wasn't our like number one person out. They was just like trick daddy's here He's from Miami. Yes, but it's like he doesn't need to be the first singer at 620 when I'm tuning in my daughter's like Who is this? I'm like, it's Harry Connick jr. They've tried it out Gloria. Stefan. Oh, yeah Time on a tradition Didn't the rock do a whole thing at the last Miami Super Bowl? No, that was LA. LA.

Yeah, he needs to pick a place. Are you sure we'll say both? I mean, I don't know if he did it at both, but he did, the one in LA, he did, among the pop culture items around the Super Bowl, Nike airs its first Super Bowl ad in 27 years. I don't know who won creatively. I have not checked the internet the

the Ben Affleck commercial Dunkin Donuts was that popular again this year? You can call it the Ben Affleck commercial. That was Jeremy Strong's commercial by the end of it. Okay, Bill Belichick was in that commercial. Was his girlfriend also in the commercial? Who was that next? Yes. It was. Really? Yeah. That's an interesting thing.

It was a very young brunette and and who won yesterday see the seal commercial was super weird the cowboy flesh hat commercial was super weird there was a lot of body horror with the with the cowboy flesh hat and and the flying eyebrows and mustaches yeah did any of you do the Bill Murray journey excursion when he gave you his email on none of you did it none of you cared to do it even though he gave it I didn't see that one was it midway through the third when did Bill Murray give me his email that was the thing I missed that one yeah gave me his email and I missed it now that's someone

farting on a plane from Chicago yeah don't look up his past either cheese that's mean to me one time when I was understandable though so yesterday do well Dan's like oh he there's like 17 people at this Marlins Cubs game Bill He was mean to me one time when, it was understandable though. So yesterday. What'd you do? Well, Dan's like, oh, there's like 17 people at this Marlins-Cubs game. Bill Murray's there. We'll give somebody a prize if they get Bill Murray on the show, and someone got Bill Murray to me,

and then I was vetting Bill Murray. What? And Bill Murray was very offended that I was vetting Bill Murray, and so he decided to not come on when it was 100% Bill Murray. What do you ask to not come on when it was 100% Bill Murray. What do you ask? Yeah, you thought it was like a Bill Murray mask? What happened?

No, no. I was like, it didn't really sound all that much like Bill Murray. So I was just like, whoa. He was on the phone. I'm like, what did you just work on? He's like, I just rapped on City of Ember. Like, why are we doing this?

I'm trying to watch the game. Good question. That story is amazing, and and I totally forgotten it. So you're saying that as a call screener, we got somebody to go up to Bill Murray at the Marlins game and call our show. And because you were the call screener, you were quizzing Bill Murray on whether he's Bill Murray

when we'd interrupted Bill Murray to hand him a phone during the game? Look, in my defense, I think I was meeting it with perhaps just a little bit more scrutiny than I should have, but you know, I was just making sure that this person didn't get a free 790 to ticket to. If only you had the Chris Cody judgment, you would have just rolled the dice. Sounds like I'm good to go.

None of you, none of you did this because I found myself doing this with Bill Murray and I thought that this was creative, what it is that they tried to do, which is send you to an email address so that it feels like you're emailing with Bill Murray and I thought that this was creative what it is that they tried to do which is send you to an email address so that it feels like you're emailing with Bill Murray where he's including videos and you're just you're going on a much longer journey than the 30-second commercial but I'm on the record as saying that all of these things none of the products stick with me I remember the commercials but not the products it's something that i've done all my life sometimes all remember competing product because my mind it doesn't absorb whatever it is that advertising is supposed to do there

the way that it that reaches other people i think because this does never whenever i talk to you guys about this it doesn't happen to you all of you guys would know that the uh... when harry Harry Met Sally commercial was a mayonnaise commercial and you'd know the mayonnaise correct like you would like not everyone can do that i'm particularly poor at it like i and especially when they put the name of the company right at the end where i don't even know what the ad is for the whole time i'm not the only one this happens to right where i don't where i'm questioning after 30 seconds why did you advertise like that if all you're doing

is telling me your product at the end, and by that point I don't care. Well, I mean, Roy's very good at knowing these commercials. I don't think you're alone in that. I barely remember the commercials. I know the seal was for Mountain Dew, right? That was wonderfully weird. I love that everyone took that chance

to just be memorable because you're weird. Make seal a seal. I feel like that has to get chance to just be memorable because you're weird make seal a seal I feel like that has to get pitched to him every year And he finally was just like you know what this is the year this is the year that he's like I guess my career is At the point where I'm pretending to be a seal Every other year, it's like no Whoever's agent is hey enough with that. It is such a good visual that every year, his marketing team, which keeps shrinking,

is bringing him the ad and he's like, fine, fine! Seale's agent answers the phone every year. He's like, hi, this is Seale. No, he will not be a Seale. Do you know how many Flex Seal commercials I've turned down? They wanted me to sit on a boat with a glass door. It was just held together by Flex Seal. But I said, no, I wrote Kiss From a Rose.

All right, I have four more here. Don't be stupid, polka party, running with scissors or poodle hat. Polka party is definitely Harry Connick Jr. Those are all weird out again. Yeah. It was a great trick, Billy. It was wonderful what you did. It's a good trick once. Parties definitely Harry Connick jr. Those are all weird out again It was a great trick Billy It was wonderful. It's a good trick once Billy It was a good trick once but it was it was such a good trick at least in part because you needed to have the immediate

Response and your glee and jumping in and correcting him was such That it made me wonder whether I want to talk about Harry Connick Jr. anymore because I'm likely to get embarrassed somewhere here. Oh, whoa. Because I don't know, because I don't know the details of why. You see a little girl or something?

I don't know the details of why it is that he's a legend in New Orleans, I just know the way. Hold on, Harry Connick Jr. is very accomplished, right? I imagine there's an awards section of his Wikipedia that feels like it would be vast, just because when I grew up- Well, there's not a lawsuit section like his dad's. He was a fixture at all these Grammy awards

because of the style of music, the adult contemporary stuff that he did. He was just dominating certain genres of music that maybe we didn't grow up listening to, but he's certainly an icon for that region. I know him as Will Smith's friend in Independence Day. He knocked that out of the park. He did.

That was a good roll. Nice little roll. I want to get to Tom Brady's watch in a second because the watch, everybody really noticed that this was a, and you guys will have to explain this to me. If you had that money, do you think you would spend that much on a watch? Do any of you like watches that much that you would spend between five hundred seven hundred fifty thousand dollars Luca was doing this as well right Luca everybody noticed at the initial press conference and what's happening around Luca is

amazing where death threats are going into Dallas Anthony Davis is out injured he was great for the first half and now he's injured immediately. And the Dallas franchise, speaking of Nepo babies, their owner came out for the first time and said that, Luca, they don't want around the Mavs someone who doesn't try hard all the time and isn't going to be, you know, somebody who's ready to work hard. We don't want you in the Mavs organization if you're that. And then many people have pointed out, but you're the person who took the Las Vegas Sands you married into that family You became the CFO of the Las Vegas Sands and then you became the CEO and the market cap fell

Seven billion dollars on your watch the watch Seven billion dollars and so a whole lot of people are just in rage still about the echoes of what Doing that in the middle of the night felt like to the Dallas Mavericks We so we've moved on to round ball. Yeah No, not yet a really terrible Super Bowl I'm not gonna I'm not gonna move on to round ball But him Robinson commercials with Sam Richardson were the best ones. The Totino's pizza rolls with the little alien. Those were my favorite. You didn't see that?

Was it second half? I kind of checked out. I honestly, I don't even know. I watched it on YouTube after the game. It sounds like you guys checked out. It sounds like you guys wandered away from the televisions is what it sounds like to me. I was parked in front of the TV but you know this second half I was just checking my phone. I was in a food coma by Q3. I was like I might as well just keep eating because, but you know this second half. I was just checking my phone I was in a food coma after by q3 I was like I might as well just keep eating because I don't have to stay away I got to ice cream way too early in the game. I got to like ice cream like second quarter Oh, that's never good never good terrible choice put it on the pole

Please juju at lebatard show are you doing it all wrong if the ice cream is in the second quarter way too early? That's a guy. I ate a wrong if the ice cream is in the second quarter? Way too early, man. That's aggressive. I ate a chicken wing after ice cream. Well sometimes you want, okay. There was like a half hour gap, but like I went to ice cream in the second quarter. Yeah, I know what's going on.

You do, yeah, you do. I do. We all do. Yeah, you want the salty, then the sweet, and then God, after the sweet, you want the salty again? No, I budgeted my appetite for, look, I'm gonna have the main meal, then I'm gonna have the dessert, then I'm gonna want a little something salty.

But then I'm gonna want a little something sweet again. And then to bring it all together, a little salty with the sweet. That's right, Coke Zero to wash it down. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Le Bittard Show. Would you ever have a chicken wing immediately after ice cream? Immediately is misleading.

I'm gonna do immediately. I'm just, look, it's disgusting either way. You can put the time separation in there if you want. I think like 26 minutes after. What was the score when you ate the ice cream and what was the score when you ate the chicken wings? It was a blowout. That's why I was like, man, this is a bad game.

I need some ice cream. Stop trying to apply your societal rules against some munchies It's just it look we will not conform No, you can have them gotta go outside before the halftime show so when you come back inside from that you're like I'm hungry again what you can have the way you going to establish the munchies Again you can have the munchies and you. Again, you can have the munchies, and you could still be capable of judgment. Yes, you can.

But the judgment's impaired. You understand. Everybody at a Super Bowl party that lives this kind of life is stepping out somewhere late in that second quarter, right? Because everyone wants that little pre-half-time show. Some of us go gummies. Oh, okay. Slow burn. I like to get

there. I like to just swallow them with water and have them kind of time release. You never know.
