The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: The Fun Police
Episode Date: November 22, 2024Content warning: Today's Local Hour contains conversation about sexual assault and sexual misconduct. If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual abuse, you are not alone. Help is available via ...the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Andrew Hawkins, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony. After last night's fun on Thursday Night Football full of wacky football in the snow, Dan inexplicably wanted to begin the Shadow Show with RFK Jr. sound. Then, Jameis Winston delivered some incredibly funny and memorable sound last night both before and after the Browns win, but after we listen to a montage, Dan notices a look on Jeremy's face from the corner of the room. Are we allowed to discuss Jameis without having conversations about his past? What if it's a celebration of his personality? Where do we draw the line on this show in particular? Plus, Hawk declares himself the "Myles Garrett of movement" as we discuss Garrett's dominance, and Jason Kelce's fame continues to escalate. We'll hear video from TMZ of a fan going after Kelce whenever the video team gets it together, but in the meantime, Dan, Amin, and Hawk discuss how fame can be suffocating and how Kelce will potentially need to change in order to handle it.

tried right now, moments ago, to do the show with an assembled committee of judgment in
Chris Cote and Amin Elhassen. And I was asking them both a question on if I should do something during the Shadow Show.
I was asking for their editorial judgment.
That's generally editorial judgment I've gone to you on.
But I looked at you in the back row
and you're wearing a Jaguar head.
And so it didn't project safety to me.
And I stayed with Chris, Cody, and Amin.
And this is the question I asked them.
And I'd like a ruling also from Tony
and from Jeremy on this.
Good balance.
Well, since we're here, right,
because I just, I tried to decide something seconds ago,
and I could have been the deciding vote.
Chris went one way, Amin went another,
and I was the deciding vote,
and I didn't want to do it because I wasn't sure.
That's why I asked them.
I generally don't ask them for the opinion on these things.
I wanted to just hit Shadow Show,
and then after last night, right?
The fun we had, that great football game.
I wanted to start Shadow Show and then just play RFK
talking about Trump five straight times,
and just play it again and again.
And I asked Chris Cody and he immediately
slumped down the middle Chris just fell apart he did not want to do it at all I
saw it on his face I went to a meeting it wasn't with a lot of conviction but
he's just a yes man on this one he's like yeah why not yes and yeah why not
so it wasn't a lot of conviction but the mood of today when James is doing snow
angels on Thursday night football the mood shouldn't be no
Floor-Ride-In-The-Water guy, brain worm guy, you know, doing Trump sound in his distinctive
voice without any explanation.
But if you could find any of that stuff funny, RFK doing that in that voice that you immediately
recognize would have been funny with no explanation, but a little too political. I think it's a little too political.
Oh.
I love polio.
This I'm here for.
He's out in the polio.
I love polio.
Or I.
I don't think we should do that.
Okay.
No, I think that is a great time for us to stick to the sports now. Yeah?
Yeah.
Just check out on the whole politics thing altogether.
Look, hey, we gave it a run.
We lost.
No, we tried hard.
We tried hard.
We tried so hard.
We tried really hard.
We made sacrifices.
Incredibly hard.
Tangible sacrifices.
We lost.
Okay, capitulate.
Remember the porn thing?
That's smoked.
Dan, you ever, remember back in the day
when you played pickup, you go to the park,
you turn it into gym, and it's like hundred people waiting for next and you play that game
And you know like if I lose it's gonna hold on for I get back on that court. Yes, what man?
Tony the way Tony looked into my eyes and just searing said you got smoked
said you got smoked. We did try.
We did try.
And we got trampled by America.
Look at Jeremy.
You can't see him because it's the shadow show.
But he's dead in the eyes.
He doesn't think anything, and he's funny.
And Jeremy, I'm with you.
I ain't gonna quit.
I'm not gonna give up on the fight and just talk comedy.
Get ready to learn Nelk Boys.
Check, please.
Play the RFK sound.
Quote, the way that you build a truly vicious nationalist movement is to wed a relatively small core of belligerent idiots to a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers,
whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things. We may not have that many outright
Nazis in America, but we have plenty of cowards and bootlickers and once those fleshy dominoes start tumbling into the Trump camp
Fleshy dominoes. Holy crap. That's the best part of that by the way
What he says after that is better than the entire thing. He says speaking of fleshy dominoes Chris Christie
Isn't he a fleshy dominoes?
From that voice to then taking the power that he gave you.
Hey, hello Andrew Hawkins.
Hey.
This is the Dan LeBattor Show with the StuGuts Podcast.
Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings.
Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings than all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings,
the crown is yours. I said to Mike Ryan, how do we gloriously celebrate a brown
season that rises to three and eight because the second worst of their sexual
offenders maybe kind of is more likeable than the first when he plays football
and when he talks about football. Allegedly.
Whatever it is that happened with Jameis,
the details of which makes him, likeable guy today,
the closest thing to Mike Tyson we have.
As far as redemption in terms of someone
who has some sordid allegations in his past,
but now, ah, he's fine.
I was saying likeable, not the allegations,
but his personality.
How do we celebrate these three and eight Browns,
and they bring me a former Brown immediately?
A legend.
Andrew Hawkins, a legend, they bring me immediately.
They fly him in, took about two hours
to get here from Pembroke Pines,
because Miami's overcrowded, and there's too much traffic.
Dude, we gotta get get a metal like helicopter.
That's a great idea.
That's a great request for day one.
Day one.
I mean, that lead in, that Browns lead in, a helicopter,
that's the least somebody could do.
Welcome, man.
Sexual assault, am I right?
Jeez.
Goodness. Welcome, Hawk. it's been a while.
Jamus did and does rap and charming,
I dare to say it.
Is he fun CTE?
He is fun CTE, he's got the fun kind.
You know how like with alcohol, there's some guys,
there's like some fun alcoholics
and some bad, mean, sad alcoholics?
Same thing with the CTE, we're learning.
It's on a spectrum.
He's got the fun type.
Oh my gosh.
I'm sorry, should we not go there?
Let's play some sound from last night.
It's too late, we're already there.
We started with sexual assault.
Well we started with a RFK.
I'm not sure that impersonation's allowed.
Yes, and?
But I allow it.
I wanna, because I don't know what the history
of whatever it is makes his voice sound that way.
Do you wanna go there or do you not wanna go there?
No, I don't think I wanna do that.
I think I'd rather plead ignorance.
Oh, okay.
I love that Tony has a theory ready.
No, it's not a theory, it's the truth.
Oh, you know why?
Yeah, but I'm not gonna go there.
Well, obviously, I kinda feel like we gotta go there now. No, we don't have to go there. No, maybe later. Let's, it's the truth. Oh, you know why? Yeah, but I'm not gonna go there. Well, obviously, I kind of feel like we gotta go there now.
No, we don't have to go there.
No, maybe later.
Let's, maybe in the post game.
I'd like to go there.
We'll do it with Andrew Hawkins.
Let's play just an assortment of Jameis Winston's sound.
I hope it starts with some of the sound from last night,
because every time he gets in front of microphones,
it's fun CTE time.
The beautiful thing about today is, it doesn't matter what happened in the past.
And no one really cares about the future.
Reality are we are where we are.
But where are we trying to go?
What are we willing to do to be the best that we can be today?
I'm with you. I got your back.
So be thinking.
As you don't think, be the best that you can be today, together.
All right, man? Let's go.
What's something about you that a lot of people
or that no one knows about Jameis Winston?
Well, I like cartoons.
That's something. I'm a big Looney Tunes fan.
I have two beautiful young boys,
and we don't watch too much Looney Tunes
because I get a little silly when I watch Looney Tunes.
I don't want to see him to me in that space.
But that's one thing.
What does the silly Jameis Monson off the looney jams look like?
I mean, what's up Doc?
You know, I'm just vibing, you know.
I got a little dizzy in me too, like Google, you know.
Like I got a little, you know.
The horse is prepared for battle, but victory comes from the Lord.
So I'm depending on the Lord.
Is that the message to the team?
Day by day, one play at a time. That's the message.
Weather conditions tonight. We're expecting winds up to 15 miles per hour and a wintry mix.
How will that impact your ability to throw the ball?
I am so happy and grateful that the Lord has blessed me to play in some snow,
to be in true football weather in Cleveland Ohio at Huntington Bank Field today to give
him the glory. It's a beautiful day. You got certain things that we're all like
it's our body is so symmetrical right you got you got your wrists you know
what are your wrists on the bottom half you know you got your shoulders up top
what are your shoulders your hips you know I'm saying you got your shoulders up top. What are your shoulders? Your hips? You know what I'm saying? You got your elbows? What are your elbows? Your knees? Of course!
It's symmetrical and you just gotta work different parts.
That fourth quarter, it really was like, it was a whole paradigm shift.
Like we were playing so well offensively and then bang, bang, back to back drives with turnovers.
I'm just like, oh my gosh, like this is really an NFL's film moment.
The snow starts pouring down.
It starts getting, like, I felt like my feet started
getting heavy because I'm squishing through the snow.
And man, it was so good.
It was so great to end up getting that win.
I don't know if there's anything more endearing
or contagious in the golf between players and customers
than somebody who is clearly enjoying
what they're doing. Just joy, childlike joy, plays football, just throws it all over the
place, 30 touchdowns, 30 interceptions, you get rid of him, you win the Super Bowl. That's
how it happened in Tampa. I'll lead the league in passing and then the Hombradio will replace
me and they'll immediately win the Super Bowl. And then he goes and does snow angels after
the game. And it's so infectious that the entire studio goes with him
because he's like this.
Of course.
What do you mean, of course?
He's a leader, that's what leaders do.
They lead the way.
Everyone, you get in, you subscribe.
He did the, he did a, but face down,
Snow Angel is ludicrous though.
Like what makes him insane is that he did
the Snow Angel face down.
He's from the South, Hawk.
Like, oh, he doesn't know about snow.
Like teeth in mud.
Snow angel.
That's wild.
That's a good point though.
He had no idea how to do a snow.
That was his first ever snow angel.
That is great analysis.
I want, because I'm from South Florida.
You didn't think about it.
Well, winter just blew in.
It's 63 degrees out there and I went through all the winter
clothing this morning.
If I were a child and had fun CTE,
I too would go face first into Snow Angels,
because I don't know how to do them either.
How am I supposed to know?
So many things.
I never know what's off limits on this show.
You can't cross certain lines, but also fun CTE.
We're workshopping it, huh?
OK. We might not be able, huh? Okay, just make it.
Like we might not be able to do it.
You tell us, too.
No, I'm just saying, it's hilarious.
But it's one of those things like for me as a football player,
it's hilarious with other football players.
So I'm like looking for the other guy to be like,
yeah, that is, wait a minute, hold on now.
I feel like they're laughing at me.
But Face Down Snow angels is like,
it's someone who grew up in Western Pennsylvania,
played in Canada, college in Ohio,
you can dive forward but you immediately flip for the angel.
You don't face down snow angel.
I gotta be honest, tremendous analysis
I haven't heard anywhere else
that only we in Miami need
because everyone else seems to think that this is all obvious
I I did not initially
Notice that he had that way look at Andrew Whitworth watch his technique
Dive flip it was not his first time can we do something please can we play that clip in the other room and have Hawkins do?
Telestrating on it to explain to us the correct ways to do this as a football analyst because everybody out there
is a child right now and Jameis Winston led them
through the playground of childhood.
Dude, I mean Jameis is like,
I have a theory that with Jameis Winston,
and you talked about the season
where he threw 30 interceptions,
30 touchdowns, 5,000 yards.
Before the LASIK though.
Before the LASIK,. For the LASIK? Yup. That is a very important piece of that information.
If he threw, it's like 20 bad passes preventing him from making $45 million a year, right?
But beyond that, once we're seeing his personality, it's kind of like a sitcom, right?
When someone says, you gotta see this show, Arrested Development, that's my favorite show
ever.
Love that show.
If you just jump in on Arrested Development,
one episode, it's gonna seem like
the dumbest show in the world.
But once you learn the characters,
once you learn Buster, once you learn Jobe,
once you learn Tobias, then you're like,
oh, I get it now.
It's like the Dan LeBattard show.
You gotta get the show. People now are getting the LeBretard show. You gotta get the show.
People now are getting the Jameis Winston show
and early in his career,
he was never like a terrible quarterback,
but I would imagine behind the scenes,
it felt so weird that they were like,
there's no way this guy can lead our organization.
Dude, I'm telling you,
I have never rooted for someone
to have a Tom Brady LeBron-esque long career as much as I'm rooting for Jameis Winston.
I want him to be in the NFL forever.
I want him to be in a position where he has to speak into a microphone weekly forever.
Because every time he opens his mouth, I am delighted.
Yeah.
Every time I hear sound from him, I get so happy.
You know what Jameis did for me last night?
He made me want him as the backup down here for Tua.
Dude.
I saw a guy that can play in cold weather.
Come on down here.
He'll build.
He's a great, just a great team guy building up Tua,
massaging his arm on the sideline.
I can picture it all.
Guys, I got to tell you something
because I can feel it off of Jeremy in the corner.
Forgive me for this.
But Jeremy, sometimes around here,
when the men get to a talking,
some of the things that end up happening around here
is how fun is James Winston,
and let's ignore the sexual assault stuff
that makes him the most likable of the two quarterbacks.
We acknowledged it.
He's my cousin.
It's tough to just celebrate the personality, right?
Like I have, look, the, I was just having this conversation
out there because I didn't want to be this guy
on the show today, like bringing down the fun.
Too late.
Right, we're here, brother.
Play the RFK sound again,
because I'm here to support you.
I'm here to support you.
With RFK sound.
If you wanna bring down the fun, I'm right here with you.
Not really sure where theFK sound comes in. We may not have that many outright Nazis in America, but we have plenty of cowards and boot lickers.
And once those fleshy dominoes start tumbling
into the Trump camp.
Don't know what this had to do with what we were talking about.
I'll tell you, your face was the same when I was playing this
as it was during what we were just doing
with the sexual assault stuff.
Your face was exactly the same.
Well, he's talking about a sexual assaulter too.
You're a little bit of a fleshy domino right now.
I am a fleshy domino.
I'm always a fleshy domino.
Belly laughing at Funti CTE though.
I didn't laugh at shit, man. I didn't do that.hy domino. Belly laughing at Funti-CTE though.
I didn't laugh at shit, man.
It was from the diaphragm.
He didn't laugh at that either.
I don't laugh at anything.
I don't find joy in anything.
Jeremy did not laugh at anything that we were talking about.
Let me make something clear, there is nothing joyful about anything.
Also, if we're establishing that we have to mention sexual assault allegations in the past,
you can't just queue it up for an RFK sound.
He's got that too.
Well, they all do.
Do you realize how ridiculous you look?
For doing the Gritted Death thing?
What is going on with the hat?
I lost a, so the Gritted Death punishment that I had
is the team that made me lose and go to the Gritted Death
as I have to wear their mascot costume.
We'll keep it moving.
We'll keep it moving.
Guys, I think like, as far as a media show goes,
when it comes to Jameis Winston,
no one awkwardly reminds you more of his past than us.
I genuinely think we're covered in that respect.
It's a difficult thing to talk about,
and we always point to like, that happened.
We'll say, since then, totally kept his nose clean,
and is now a beloved character in the NFL.
Like Mike Tyson. That's not true
He has a true as a pro. He was suspended three games for groping an uber driver forgot all about that. Thank you
I thought that was a remind me of that one. We're talking. Yeah, no, I'm talking about what happened in college when he
No when he was accused of rape and he that case was only dismissed because of how long things went
along he settled out of court right before his civil trial began the the
criminal investigation never went that far because the initial complaint was
dropped after the detective on the case told the victim that this was a big
football town and they needed to be careful, okay?
These types of things happen all the time
all across America and we just, I mean look,
we elect the people who do this, the president.
So I know that I'm on the losing side of this battle
and I just feel like it's important
that we bring these things up.
Rather than just like celebrating,
oh look at quirky fun, Jameis Winston.
Let the guy play in the NFL.
He never ended up being criminally convicted of anything.
All of those things, I'm not saying
he shouldn't have an opportunity
to do his profession from here,
but it's just hard when we're now taking it from,
oh this guy's playing good at quarterback
to like let's celebrate how fun and quirky he is.
I hear you. Did you see that snow angel?
Snow angel was pretty good. Come on. He slid like a seal. You don't want to talk about this anymore.
Finally someone who ruins the fun around here more than I do. I genuinely don't want to talk
about it anymore. We don't have to. We did it. We did it. look I just wanted to make sure that it got set I don't want to do this. It always gets said. Did you see the past of Jerry Judy over the top? It was an incredible past. It's literally where Dan started it's like the first thing he said about Jerry Judy. You guys didn't even know it happened. No no no actually I will go outside and I never heard that story. No I knew about the u one. I thought he was talking about a new thing. I knew the Uber one, yeah, yeah.
Like that's the thing that I was talking about.
But it's just, it's always said on this show.
Oh bad, bad animation.
And I don't, at what point do we keep saying
it has to be said and we said it?
Okay, I just think about the women who listen,
the women who listen to our show,
who either are victims of sexual assault
or are watching what's going on in this country in regard to,
and I hate, like again, I hate the word I hate me too I
Don't like me either
But you do love yourself you hate the movement
Me too you hate the movement yet. Yep the movement. You know what I'm going far right myself
Okay, it's just Jeremy. I understand where you're coming from you're assigning us a virtue that you're not
Assigning that the people that broadcast these games.
We're literally the only show in the game.
Both covering it as a league partner broadcaster,
both in the podcast media space,
we're the only one that consistently reminds you
that this is happening.
I understand its responsibility,
and I think we kind of live up to it.
But did you see that snow angel?
Let me retreat for just a moment
because during what was happening last night,
because I want to get to this Miles Garrett sound
after the game, it was wonderful.
I loved hearing just one of the beasts remind you
he's one of the beasts.
I haven't heard him talk like that
and it's because, it's simply because where greatness resides
at the very top of all time greats,
he's like, hey, TJ Watts, stand down. Like stand down like stand I know you got the giant hands and everyone's
talking about you got the five game winning streak
I'm defensive player of the year watch this like when that shit that has been
wrecked by a car like Andrew Hawkins wishes he had that body do you know what
Andrew Hawkins would have done to that league if he had the body of Miles
Garrett
hopefully stronger than everyone is playing again I submit to you would have done to that league if he had the body of Miles Garrett physically stronger than everyone he's playing against?
I submit to you, he would have never made the league
because you would have rested on your laurels.
You being given less made you work harder
and made you the player that you were.
Buddy, don't change anything.
Don't ask God to change anything.
You were made perfect.
See, this is my thing.
You're the quickest guy ever at one point.
Thank you.
I was waiting for somebody to say it.
I was gonna say when it comes to quickness and agility,
you are looking at the Miles Garrett of movement, okay?
So please make no mistake,
I did win the genetic lottery, Dan.
You just could have wanted even more though,
as I'm saying.
I never won a defense of player of the year, touche.
Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.
It wasn't, I was insulting him.
What dance is that?
I don't have the fun CTE, so don't piss me off here today.
That damn it.
Let's play that sound for the people, because that was an enormously fun game.
It became all the more fun when it started snowing.
Jamis Winston, so many giant plays in that game, like where you can turn and be like,
Mike Tomlin, what are you doing? What are you doing doing with your time has to i need to let him score here
jesus christ jerry judy looks a lot better when he's not in denver and when
winston's just slinging it all over the place a terrible on third down great on
fourth down that's the james winston experience
like that's the i mean it's just him running around
enjoying himself they love playing with him that part is clear and here's my
old garrick after the game well jeremy what were his stats at halftime Myles Garrett so when
they're up at halftime and you see that there's just smothering Russell Wilson
in the deep play offense what were Myles Garrett's his halftime stats?
Four pressures three sacks and a forced fumble by the half that's insane yeah
and so after the game and you guys tell me because i've been
watching these three guys michael parsons and tj watt and him and i've been like
that's the best that any of that can be done
but miles garrett is here to tell you know i do it better than the other two
on the board
well that's from as that's been a one-edged one-two
but the player here
on on the guy so that runs through me
There's there's no other no other person being defended as I am or skiing or playing against like I am so
This goes to show no you can throw it out the window. I'm gonna find a way Hawk
I'm used to somebody feeling that way in a locker room
Are you rarely used to someone just saying it like that on a broadcast? Well someone's got to say it
You know, you won't know I'm the quickest person
in the world unless I come on the damn Lebertard show
and let the world know.
And the same goes for Miles.
Maybe it's a Cleveland thing that,
hey, you know what, I'd like some damn respect
out here in Northeast Ohio.
And I agree.
I mean, you have to game plan for Miles Garrett
in a way that people don't game plan for other people
I mean again, we're talking about TJ watt versus miles Garrett
These are two Hall of Fame level players who are ridiculous and it's really you can flip a coin
But I don't mind miles making staking his claim that he's the guy we just don't typically see it from defensive end
It's a cornerback thing to be cornerback number one
You have to come out,
talk shit, back it up, and then everybody
anoints you as cornerback number one.
What's crazy is how much the T.J. Watt thing
played into last night.
Having watched Miles perform, and I know his body's
going through a lot this year.
He's toughening it out quite a bit this season.
But he got up for that game.
It was visible.
And that adrenaline was carrying over
to the post game.
The T.J. Watt thing was in his head all week.
He's like, we're having a bad season
and no one's talking about me because of it.
I'm gonna remind you.
Since February, whatever T.J. Watt tweeted and tweeted.
And it was a nationally televised game.
Everybody's watching.
Like, it's hard to get that kind of motivation
for a team that's, it's hard to get that kind of motivation
for a team that's not doing well.
If I may though, T.J. Watt has led the league in sacks
three years, I don't think anybody's ever done that.
So Miles Garrett is like, hey, me,
I'm the one, all the double teams.
It's never me isolated.
It's never me not being chipped by a back.
Like it's me breaking through double teams,
but T.J. Watt, the stats say forever the TJ watt the way we do it
Not the way that Hawk does it but the way we do it the stats say forever that TJ watt is better than Miles Garrett
Because no one's ever done lead the league in sacks three years. That's not has anyone done that
No, no Reggie white, baby. I'm just guessing Reggie had two in a row. I'm looking through it now.
I don't think that's been done before.
And T.J. Watt just started.
Like he can have,
what we're talking about, their statistic.
How do you measure these guys?
Because when I saw Miles Garrett for the first time,
I'm like, holy shit, I've rarely seen anything like that.
It took me a couple of years with T.J. Watt.
It wasn't like that from the very beginning.
I'm as big a Miles Garrett fan as there is.
And I think they're so consistently great.
What I give the edge to TJ Watt is TJ Watt has this intangible
flair for the dramatic with a game on a line.
You feel almost certain he's going to touch the football.
Now, Miles has come up for his team in big spots too,
but it seems like in seasons that their entire identity

that Miles is just falling short of.
You know, when Mike talks like that,
he looks like a Jaguar.
Yeah, he holds his arms up and he's like,
Rarrow!

You guys do realize wherever the most competitive of excellence resides that stuff gets stirred
It's not just Miles Garrett and TJ Watt. Jerry Jones kept Robert Kraft out of the Hall of Fame again.
Like Jerry Jones hasn't done any winning
over the last 30 years, but you can make sure,
okay, Kraft, you can make your Apple documentaries
over there where you get the credit
and Brady gets the credit and Belichick doesn't get
the credit, but you can't have the jacket.
Hold on, Jeremy, Jerry Jones, Kraft,
you wanna jump in there?
No, I don't, I'm done. Just my bad. Go ahead. Thank you
Yeah, I'm glad you've given me an opportunity to continue to isolate myself from everyone
Jeremy how do I help you here because you already did I want well I want I want this to be fun
But this has been the source of my unhappiness for the last three and a half years. It's fine, everything's fine.
Trump's president now, we're good.
Should we get like a sounder, like a siren?
Whenever we're talking about somebody who has something,
we just play a little, whee whee whee.
When it gets pulled over?
I don't know.
Don't forget, there was one time against the Steelers
where Miles Garrett swung a helmet at Mason Rudolph.
Allegedly, allegedly.
And he accused Mason Rudolph of saying the N-word,
but then it just kind of went away,
and then what are we all to do with that?
Yeah.
Wow.
I like this bit that Chris has come up with.
I think Jeremy should put on a cop uniform,
and then as the conversation's going,
we play that.
That's good.
Hold on, we play the siren and he says,
you know why I pulled you over?
No, well, Jameis Winston has all these things that happen.
Oh, sorry.
It's not a real cop, hold on. Okay, I didn't know where we were. Wow, whoa. Oh, sorry. Is that a real cop?
Hold on.
Okay, I didn't know where we were.
Wow, Jeremy.
I was getting into character.
How dare you?
I already said A-cap.
It would be great if Jeremy's character came in,
I hate me too, on his jersey,
and then arrested Andrew Hawkins for being black.
What a heel turn.
What a heel turn.
Jeremy, you in?
I hate me too, no commas allowed on the shirt.
Right, right, just my punctuation.
One word.
I mean, I'm with Jeremy.
It's frustrating that there is a fatigue
because in every facet of life,
through politics, through celebrity, through even sport,
you're gonna have to do this.
Look, everyone, 60 million people allegedly gathered
around a TV to watch Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson.
There's a ton of baggage there too.
I think that our show in particular,
because I'm just addressing our show,
and I think our show and Jeremy kind of feels the need
to maybe step on it a little bit more
because no one else is doing it.
No one else is doing it
because it puts you in a really awkward position.
You're gonna be exposed,
hypocrisies are gonna pop up every now and then we're going to have things
like, it's not a good look if we're talking about Jamis and Robert Kraft and
Jerry Jones get mentioned and Nada. So I,
I understand our show is trying its absolute best.
I think we've done the Jamis Winston shows. Hell, we did a year's worth.
Nobody got into those allegations more than this show in the main media space.
You can frame it in occasional discussions,
but I'm not gonna hold it against you.
If James Winston has a funny interview,
and you just wanna revel in the laughs,
it's something that's several years ago,
it's a part of his story,
you don't need to tell his story every time he does something.
Don't worry, if you're a celebrity,
they just let you do it.
I would say to Mike Ryan as I hear,
that's right, no, and we were playing Nazi sound
with RFK's funny voice, because it's hard to laugh these
Dominoes about yeah fleshy dominoes is such a good insult. I want to make pink pink shirts that call people fleshy dominoes
Because it's fleshy I didn't know what the dominoes like an ivory color
My fleshy's brown man
Okay, my bad. I would think that, I thought that, I think of it as sort of Canadian scarred by the sun,
but okay.
I'm sorry, my bad for cutting out a community.
I hate me too.
A lot of black Canadians here.
He's been there.
He played there.
I played there.
Shane Gillis Alexander.
The game last night, I think everybody was enjoying.
Chris Cody, I know, didn't enjoy it until about four minutes left because he told everyone publicly that he would bet the college education of his
Child on Jamis Winston throwing an interception and that had not happened before the last four minutes
It went nuts when that happened
Everyone had that bet how fun was it to have Christmas football weather?
Arrive out of nowhere in the second half
where the game is normal in the first half
and all of a sudden, okay, NFL November is here.
White and here comes Jameis.
There was one field goal where I thought it was good.
He couldn't really see the ball in the air.
It was just like, I think that's good.
And Joku dropped an easy pass.
Al Michael couldn't tell the difference.
Al Michaels couldn't tell the difference between Joku. He couldn't see the field, right?
Right.
I think he called a white guy David Injoku for sure.
I saw that on the internet.
Me and Tony had, what's it called?
PTSD from our time in Cleveland during the NBA All-Star
weekend, because it literally looked exactly like that.
Snowed on us like that.
We were standing outside of, I don't even
remember where, it was like McGillicuddy's Bar or on us like that. We were standing outside of, I don't even remember where it was,
like McGillicuddy's bar or something.
Whatever that Irish bar is, you know,
the one right across from the queue or whatever.
Let's figure this out.
Let's figure out what it's called.
It's McGillicuddy's, don't worry.
Wait, wait, stay here, come on.
Let's keep pushing.
Let's find it.
Quicksand, the name of the place was Quicksand.
McGillicuddy's, McGillicuddy's.
Great place, by the way.
Cate Corner to the queue or right across?
No, Cate Corner. Cate Corner, but my favorite part was, as we're trying to order an Uber So McGillicuddy McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's McGillicuddy's was Jake from State Farm, waiting for his Uber. He was just like shivering, wearing the ridiculous jacket
he wore to Saturday All-Star Saturday night.
And I saw him get accosted by drunk fan after Doug.
Hey, Jake from State Farm!
And the poor guy wanted to be anywhere but there.
Anywhere but Cleveland.
Well, thank you for bringing that up, I mean,
because I have some sound here from Jason Kelsey
and what it is to be fame from TMZ that's uncomfortable
and Jason Kelce handled it well, but Jason Kelce,
I don't know that he expected all of this
that comes to him as a former center and what it is.
I'm finding myself feeling bad for someone who's arrived
at what would look like dreams that everybody wants,
because Jason Kelsey got to fame very fast.
You guys are pointing at another Kelsey commercial, right?
Kelsey on a commercial right now.
Yeah, because they took all the commercials
and they're getting a bunch of football fame
that usually only goes to the quarterbacks.
And it happened fast.
And I don't know that you expect the TMZ sound
that we're about to hear, and maybe you'll find it funny,
or maybe it'll be uncomfortable and you won't find it funny
because it's clearly a deranged fan being,
like just entitled, it's the worst manifestations
of cartoon entitlement that there is in the relationship
between fans in general and the people they worship.
And this guy was entitled to an autograph from Jason Kelsey
And then just hit him with an assortment of crazy. Well, they don't have it yet. I mean is there anything
They were filibuster I was filibustering. Why do you think I talk so much around here?
We just want to make sure we good to go with Jason Kelsey nothing in his history. We good Jeremy officer
I believe we're good.
I believe he's accused of ruining his cell phone
of a college kid.
That's true.
Let's play the Kelsey sound.
Do we have it yet or we don't have it yet?
Cause I mean, I mean it's been stellar.
Did we ever find the name in that bar?
Here's the thing.
The filibuster.
I'm gonna find it.
Which corner?
Let me give you some criticism Mr Mr. LeBattard.
When the filibustering starts to describe
what's in the sound, then I feel like you're starting,
you gotta filibuster somewhere else.
You gotta dance around it.
But once you start describing what's in the sound,
I was like, well, now you're giving it away.
Filibuster blues.
I want this to be, filibuster blues, thank you.
I want this to be something where it's like,
okay, build up, set it up, and then when it hits, it hits.
But when you start telling me what's in it,
it's like reading the block section of a Wikipedia.
I told Lewis in the talk back, Jason Kelce,
in the middle of the last thought that Andrew Hawkins had,
I threw it to Lewis, and I threw it to Chris Cody,
and I told them, I need the Jason Kelce sound.
I'm still waiting for the Jason Kelce sound.
I have to say something in between
and you decided to give us the corner of the bar
in the Cleveland that you were in
that never produced any video that I would still like to see
from you and Tony in Cleveland at the All-Star game.
That's not my fault, hold on now.
Was it Buffalo Wild Wings?
No, it wasn't Buffalo Wild Wings.
Ye old Buffalo Wild Wings.
Wait, hold on now.
Oh, Buffalo Wild Wings?
Flannery's Pub.
Flannery!
Caddy Corner from the Q.
Q, there it is.
Hey, do we have that sound yet?
Chris Cody, what is going on with the Jason Kelsey sound?
Are you talking to Lewis or are you talking to me, Chris?
I love this.
This is a Friday. We're not doing the sound. The sound is not ready like there was an issue. We're not going to the sound
Let's move on let's feel about this erupted. What did he say?
I was saying that
If you have not seen the video have you seen it Hawk I have seen it this morning. Yes, and your your visceral thoughts
People need to be punched in the face, but that's not a good take.
I like, if more people.
It's a solid take.
It's a good take.
If more people got punched in the face.
Jeremy, you good with that?
I agree.
A lot of these things would solve themselves, right?
Cause I think that there's this like expectation
that people won't punch you in the face.
And if you say that you should punch people in the face,
you get looked at a certain way.
I've learned in my now what, seven, eight years since I played professional football, face and if you say that you should punch people in the face you get looked at a certain way.
I've learned in my now what seven, eight years since I played professional football that
it is not normal to say oh when someone talks to you disrespectfully that is okay territory
to then punch said person in the face.
So I am reformed from this way of thinking but I do think in those situations that that
would happen
less if people felt what the actual repercussions should be.
Here's the problem.
Ten years ago you were right.
Now we live in an economy where they want to get punched in the face.
You see how many of those prank videos where they run the prank on the wrong person and
then that person says, oh it's just a prank, it's just a prank.
That video still gets posted and it still racks up numbers.
So you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.
The only thing you can do to save yourself
is not give it any attention.
Is to basically go catatonic, and that's what,
look, as someone who's been a bully all my life,
everyone knows, well, maybe not me,
because I do still like bullying people
who don't respond back, but for most bullies,
they get scared, like if you don't do anything back, it's boring for them.
It's like a bear, it's like you play dead.
Like, oh, I want the chase.
Me, not so much.
I don't care much about the chase.
I just like, I like knowing that deep down inside
you're ignoring me, but I'm still annoying you.
There's a part of me that's sad for Jason Kelsey.
Because I mean, the whole dynamic between him and Travis
are they are polar opposites, right?
Like they are completely different ones a you know
Superstar tight end that wasn't even really a thing before Travis. Kelsey the way that it is now wanted fame though
Yes, like aggressive early wanted fame one at the spotlight knew he was built and made for it
And now it's like this larger than life offering from from Jason's side
Which is an offensive lineman,
which is the opposite thing.
If you know anything about offensive lineman,
they like don't do the things that Travis does
or don't say the things that Miles Garrett does
in a post-game interview.
They pride themselves on being under the radar,
you know, people of the people and not being this.
And so it feels like for Jason,
this thing is almost getting bigger
than he ever thought it would.
And he's having trouble transitioning
to what life is like on this side of it.
Dude, it's what a lot of people find out.
It's like, your fame is different.
There's a different level.
And whatever life he got to live,
literally as an NFL player and as a Super Bowl champion,
pales in comparison in terms of attention
to what he has now.
And that, like, there's positives to it, right?
There's blessings that come with that,
but there's also a bunch of curses,
and one of the curses is you can't walk around
without people bothering you all the time.
They just announced a late night show with ESPN
with Jason Kelsey. I mean, five consecutive Fridays the time. They just announced a late night show with ESPN with Jason Kelsey.
Five consecutive Fridays, he's going to be hosting a late night show.
He was on with Kimmel and revealed that.
And now all the artwork is out on social media.
My initial reaction to seeing that is like, oh, this is now a thing
that's going to surround him that he has to guard himself against because
he had the phone incident where the guy was clearly going for something.
And then just a couple of days later,
it seems as though someone goes in with the intention to get over using Jason
Kelsey and trying to get a rise out of him. Cause he's already shown you,
he may throw your phone on the floor.
So now he's going to have to totally shut it down before it spirals out of
control.
Mike, I'm going to tell you exactly what it reminds me of.
Remember the Britney Spears documentary and they're talking about
when she had her kid in her lap or whatever and
One of the videos they had was her going to Starbucks and getting mobbed
And I was just like all I could think of like baby. Why are you going to Starbucks?
You send someone to go to Starbucks. Don't you understand where your life is now?
You don't get to go to the movies you want to go to movies You got to buy the theater out you want to go to Starbucks don't you understand where your life is now you don't get to go to the movies you want to go to movies you got to buy the
theater out you want to go to you want Starbucks they build one in your house
shout out to Jerry Stackhouse right like you don't you don't do these normal
coffee for you no there is coffee oh you don't get it like a regular person
right and that's not because you're better than people but because it is
physically impossible for you to do this.
Kelsey, when they hit the kid with that,
or hit the kid's phone or whatever it was,
you just walk and do, you can't do that no more.
You gotta have security, you gotta have people
doing this thing right here, and that's it.
And it feels for a guy like that.
What's that thing, is that security?
Oh, he's right about that, he's right.
It's people holding people back.
That's what it is, that's security.
Imagine that.
Imagine a guy who made all of his money doing this,
having to pay a guy to do this.
He needs someone else to do this.
That's crazy.
He needs a passport.
He needs a center.
That's nuts.
Jason Kelsey needs a professional center.
But he's also going to have to pivot
because very early in his media career,
he's the guy that's going to go out into the crowd
and chug a beer.
And he's just like, I'm the everyman.
I'm going to come down from Taylor Swift's box and be among you beer. And he's just like, I'm the everyman. I'm gonna come down from Taylor Swift's box
and be among you guys.
And now as his profile increases,
that shtick is going to get
a little bit more difficult for him.
It's gotta be curated, right?
Like, hey, you ever, like the All-Star weekend,
so-and-so's performing, Flowrider's performing,
and they have all these people here.
You think these people are just people
walking down the street?
They were curated, they were selected,
like you're the people who are gonna be in the pit.
And that's how he's gotta do whatever shtick he's gotta do.
You guys are seeing something with the Kelseys right now
that is a real interesting look into some celebrities,
societal discomforts in 2024.
This is Taylor Swift fame, and this is somebody,
I haven't gotten the video yet, but I assure you,
this is a person who's not totally mentally sane
in what this behavior is, shouted at Jason Kelsey,
and how it's uh...
verbally he's disguising it as love and he is going from love to hate very fast
in insulting jason kelsey a number of different ways that if he did in jason
kelsey's face or in hawks face any
one-tenth of the things that he said he would have stopped saying them
immediately because anybody who's not a celebrity would hit that person in the
face to get them to stop saying the things they were saying on the other side of offense
it was deeply offensive and i want my marveled adjacent Kelsey grace coming
back out there and signing autographs of someone who did not deserve anything
other than to be pulled away arrested and embarrassed because of how bad the
behavior was but the point you guys are making, I think,
and you helped me understand it,
because I don't think either one of these two human beings
knew exactly what it is they were craving.
But when Travis Kelce starts dating Taylor Swift
and has been looking around, was asking Stugats,
hey, how do I start a podcast?
Was looking around saying, put me on this Netflix space show.
I wanna be famous, I'm a tight end, I don't like this. Showtime space show, different space show. Wasn't? That show i want to be famous on the tight end i don't like the showtime special the first issue
wasn't that's a fine he's on the showtime one
okay my bad what you understand saying though he wanted all of this
jason kelsey stumbling that stumbled into it because he got drunk at the
parade and was charismatic and then
he ends up in a place he could not possibly imagined and i wonder
as the late-night show starts if he asks himself well do I really want this if I can't just smash the phone any I can't smash
the phone when somebody disrespects me like that kid oh I have to eat it and go
back and sign the autograph of somebody who is insulting me for three straight
minutes I mean he did get a TV show like a month after smashing the phone so I
mean it's like it seems like if it as long as he's not in the wrong,
people are okay with it.
Quick turn around.
Wait, I'm unclear, are we still filibustering?
I'm asking you guys if you think that
there are a lot of examples in front of us
where you would say, that person seems to have everything.
I'm starting to feel bad for them.
I don't think anyone is mentally prepared
for what Taylor Swift adjacent fame is.
Because her fan base is kind of like another level
of obsessed because they feel like they know her
and that she knows them in the way
that she markets herself and communicates
and has been there
through social media for so long.
So there's this like emotional parasocial relationship
and attachment that the fans have that in turn
turns every boyfriend and everybody adjacent
in that boyfriend's family into mega celebrity
that are hyper analyzed
in ways that are different from anywhere else
that they are in their career.
And you could look at kind of all the past boyfriends
and the way that they've been analyzed by her fan base.
It's turned their fame that was already rising
into a rocket ship that I don't know
that they were prepared for.
For the love of everything, let's watch the clip.
Do we have it?
We, I mean, you're trying to produce the show and no one's told me we have the clip. I'm running the clip. Do we have it? We, I mean, you're trying to produce the show
and no one's told me we have the clip.
I'm running the show.
I know, but this is tantric at this point.
Yes, I wanna see the clip as well.
You're playing defense against me, I mean.
It's not bleeped, this clip.
We can play it, but there's-
Okay, well this is the problem.
They need to edit it because there are so many things
said in it that are offensive.
And so you keep wanting me to play the clip and stop filibustering. I hate me, too
I don't want to talk like this much. I want to talk less
Just play the clip and let Jeremy and everything offensive that said
Siren it and it's playing right
Do we do that the first time? It's a long clip.
Chris has control of the sounder.
I don't know how bad this is. It sounds like it's pretty bad.
Can we just like not and then like wait a little bit?
I understand it's tantric but okay we don't have the clip just ready yet.
Let's play it.
We can do it? Okay fine.
Send me to the penalty box.
You couldn't put it to our name?
It's on that board.
May we please? May we please?
May we please?
I have a habit of not signing to people that follow where I'm going.
We're here at it. We're not following you.
We get every guess that comes here.

You are being mean.
It takes a minute.
Jason, you're nice. I swear.
I appreciate your time here.
Stop. I will never do that in my life, Lord.
Do not put that on the f***ing internet.
Oh, well, it's a little late for that.
Don't put that on the internet.
I regret, the part I regret actually in all the bleeping is that we didn't bleep out that guy's name because now something bad is gonna
Come his way to I didn't hear it. It's not our fault. It's on TMZ. Jeremy. We good there. Yeah, we're good
Anything I'm glad it took all that time because we do we couldn't say the word on air. Oh
Gotta bleep out all those. No, there were two other minutes in there where he used more offensive language
They were I mean, let's go
I mean you're gonna have to leave because you don't know what the video is you don't know what it is that there
Just get out
I'm walking, but I just want to say this Jared Allen the Cleveland Cavaliers, every time he gets called for a defense of three
second call, he goes, yeah!
Yeah!
And I'm going to do that every time I get to the building bus.
You're going to pretend you did that on purpose, okay.
Yeah!
Pay the penalty, five minutes, ruining comedy.
You don't understand that there's a process that has to be edited.
You want to always say and do whatever you want because we're all having fun here, right? You don't understand that there's a process that has to be edited.
You want to always say and do whatever you want because we're all having fun here, right?
But that clearly, that guy who's yelling at Jason Kelsey, fun CTE, right?
That is the funnest CTE I've ever heard.
That was pretty fun.
The interesting part of that clip for me is you can see Kelsey there.
He's having this interaction with this guy and he does the math of I don't want another one of these bad ones
So he gets out and that's him doing like PR right there. He's like, you know what this guy hates me
I don't want another Penn State thing
So I'm gonna get out here and I'm gonna go try to
Fix it with this guy like you see it you can see that the wheels turning there of this is gonna be another thing
I'm gonna go try to fix this. Yeah, that was a bad move. He handled that wrong.
He should have walked over, taken the pen,
chucked it 70 yards, and went back to the SUV.
He'd be a legend today.
Hawk, help me with this, because I really,
he's saying this is a bad take,
but it's the most human thing, what he is saying there.
If I don't have to worry about fame,
and you disrespect me, I can just,
I could disavow you of that notion quickly by simply,
you will not insult me, I'm hitting you in the face, we're done here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's,
fame is interesting because, yes,
you are held to a quote unquote standard,
but if you opt into the standard that people create for you,
that's when you're held to it.
For example, Gronk can be drunk in public 24-7,
and everybody loves it.
And there are people that if they do that,
it will be an article for the next three weeks
about how he's setting a bad example.
For Jason Kelsey, who is now like getting acclimated
to this newfound fame, if he takes the approach that,
man, I don't want people to think I'm a mean person,
when you're well within your right to get off a plane,
get in your car and go the hell home,
whether you wanna sign an autograph or not,
well, now you're gonna hold yourself
to that impossible standard, is what I'm saying with Kelsey.
Like, Pac-Man Jones, who is a teammate of mine,
a friend of mine, we have teammates I've known
for a long time, Jeremy not now.
I wasn't doing anything.
He got arrested again last week.
Nobody cared.
Because he can get arrested once a week
for the next 100 years
They change they change the Pac-Man they change the entire conduct coal
The entire conduct code because Pac-Man Jones existed
Yeah, and that's like so for Jason instead of trying to hold up to a standard
He has to know with this level of fame you do have the opportunity to create whatever your standard is
That's all I'm saying. Well see but this is a huge one
What he's saying there is the difference between Jason Kelsey getting to enjoy this and Jason Kelsey being sad because
They will try to change you huh they they will they will he's doing a late-night show now for Disney
He's leaving Jimmy Kimmel. He's not, I mean, he's going
to try to be authentically himself. It pays it. Drunk in public for Jason Kelsey has paid,
but drunken public's not really allowed anymore. Is it? It is if that's how you get over. It's
it. But no, but is drunken public allowed if he starts breaking phones and bar fights
because you can't talk to him that way when you're right in his face. He survived that.
He's just got to look out for him becoming meme adjacent
and that, oh, this is a guy that we can go after.
And it becomes like a pop cultural thing
to see if you can get a rise out of Jason Kelsey.
That's what he needs to navigate.
And I actually thought he did a good job there trying
to stop it before it becomes more of a thing.
Yeah.
I mean, this is a guy that said he's
going to be running the cinematic Marvel universe.
He also runs the streets of LA, so he's likely a crip, right?
Maybe a blood, maybe a blood, we don't know.
Maybe a blood, that's valid.
He also mentioned Morgan Freeman, who Jeremy has stuff.
He said he's bigger.
He's bigger.
And Morgan Freeman, I've seen him,
he's not bigger than Jason Kelsey.
Jason Kelsey is a bigger human than Morgan Freeman.
And he also mentioned that people are dying, which is true.
People are dying.
It's what it's always true.
But it's always true.
You said that, it's important.
So I think Jason should have clicked, OK, this guy has fun CTE,
let me continue on with my life.
Chris, you mentioned the Penn State thing before.
And speaking of them, they probably
shouldn't have a program, right?
No.
It's a Friday, man.
Howdy, loyal listeners.
It's Mike Ryan.
