The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Lovetard

show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings. The crown is yours. Roy just asked me, where's Boppy? Because we've seen him rummaging around in the kitchen and I just said to him, I cannot and have never been able to control that old man. He's on his own time. He does whatever it is that he

wants. I asked him to come in here. All I heard him say, you didn't say good morning to me. You know what he says to me? With breakfast breath, he just says, Belichick with an 18 year old girl. That's all he said. What? That would be news. Another girlfriend? Well, my father did a little exaggeration when it wasn't necessary. Is Pablo out of the Belichick business? It's funny that you mentioned Pablo before we get to Dave Damashik because I do not doubt him and I believe that Pablo Tori will indeed be able to keep doing the things like he did with Kauai Leonard.

However, it might be hard given that his last episode is a great question. Tony, maybe you can answer it, but it's not quite the Kauai Leonard news. It's just why isn't there tickling in MMA? Hmm. Interesting. It's a great question. There's all the open availabilities for it, right? You got your fingers out of the gloves. You got feet out there.

You got armpits. You got cockyita and la pancita. Like, it could happen. You would disarm your opponent if he is indeed ticked. Oh, what are these? What do I? Oh, is it a claw legal? Ooh, that's another good question, the claw.

Like Kerry von Errik? Yeah. Put it on the poll at Lebitard show. I don't know why my father just simply refused to come in here and is now having coffee in the other room with Frankie. I don't know. He just does whatever he wants to. I've never been able to control him.

Dave Damashek, I will tell you again that that football America's show that is on Mondays and Fridays is very good, and we will get his expertise on what it is that we were just talking about here. Marvin Harrison, can you explain to me why it is that he's not any good? Because it's confusing to me, and they kind of need him to be a number one receiver so that everything that Kyler Murray does doesn't die on the vine. Sucks. Well, I'm I'm assuming that it was the model that was David Boston about 25 years ago, Arizona Cardinals receiver who decided to get jacked up like he was in the WWE. And so Marv Harrison Jr. followed that model.

And here we are now. I have a number of notes for you on what you guys have been talking about so far, by the way. I can Devils Damashik a couple of points that you guys have made there so far. I think the great paradox of injury prone, you guys should know. know this in the Sunshine State, although you're dealing with it now with Tua, it must be a Florida-based thing because the two biggest names associated with football that I can think of that are considered injury-prone guys, or at least were, were Frank Gore of the U, who then had ironically about as long a career as anybody ever had. And the other guy who belongs in the

Hall of Fame, even though the buzz about him was, boy, if he could just stay on the field, Fred Taylor. Both of those guys were durable bangers deep into their careers, despite the fact that they were both considered to be injury prone at the front end of their career. So maybe there's some optimism for Tua. Do you dispute the point that I was making that you would have trouble finding someone else anywhere in sports more associated with, I'm worried he's going to get hurt? Yeah, I think that's right. I mean, I think, you know, my hockey brain goes to Eric Lindrosse, who kind of had that. And prior to him, Mario Lemieux. But yeah, I think you're spot on in the year of our Lord 2025.

Tua is the face, sadly, of injury prone. There was a player in the NBA that people were worried about. Right now, that player is Kauai Leonard, and he's fulfilling that prophecy. But it was like 11 years ago, or probably a little bit longer, where we were all super worried about Steph Curry's career and those ankles. And we were questioning, who do you build around, Monta Ellis or Steph Curry, because Steph Curry's ankles are so bad. I like my fashion friend, Mike, there, dressed like the Craig Elo era Cleveland Cavalier.

Remember when they wore those? Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, I'm glad you mentioned the fit. I am suffering right now. It's a tough punishment. This does not breathe. The CK. jeans are little snow. Don't show us that part of yourself, please.

I have been doing some work on here. I don't want to see that. Please don't show us that. Oh, body rolls. No, stop doing that. Can you walk us through what it is that you saw last night and what it is that you're seeing from Sam Darnold when I say the most explosive offense by completion percentage of passes thrown that go for big plays is somehow a month into the season, Seattle and Sam Darnel. It's a good question, Daniel. Are we going with Daniel now?

We're going full names. I went with Danny through college. My byline in college with Danny. Danny Lebutzart. He's the only one who calls it. me, Danny, because that was my byline in college. Why'd you change it? To be more mature.

Because Billy... I didn't change my name. I know. You remained Billy to be not more mature. Can I tell you something? I am William David Damashek and my parents saw fit to go with David. But I contend that

see, Billy did it exactly right. He's Billy as a grown man now. And when you get into the teen years, you feel like, I want to be more mature and I want to be like a grown-up. And so then you go Bill. And now things are all out of whack. If you can make it as an adult, I wish I were Billy Damasek. I think I would be 10 times cooler if that were the case. You wouldn't be. Well, okay, debatable. But I'll say this. If either, is it a coincidence

that two of our five late night hosts still, I mean currently, I mean not last week, but right now, our late night hosts are named Jimmy. Now, if they were Jim, if it were Jim Kimmel, he would not be a late night host right now. The fact that he is Jimmy is a defining sort of, it colors in who he is before you even see him, right? Jimmy, you know he's a grown man, he's fun. Yeah, John Carson, totally different guy. Look what happened to James Corden. He's out of here.

Yeah. You see? You see? Proves the point. Dan, I can help you a little bit in the Sam Darnold conversation. Oh, yes, Samuel Darnock's doing whatever he wants. Yeah, which I like about, Dave. Through four games, 21% of the Seahawks pass plays have produced an explosive completion.

That is the highest rate in the NFL based on EPA per pass play and success rate. Sam Darnold is performing better with the Seattle Seahawks than he did last year with the Vikings. That comes courtesy of Shale Capadia. Well, it's been seven years since the 2018 draft, and Mike Ryan was actually on Football America last week, and we had this discussion. Is the 2018 QB class because of the rise of Sam Darnold lately, and then a year or three ago when Baker Mayfield kind of turned his thing around, is the 2018 class that obviously also includes Lamar and Josh Allen, is it now worthy of being on the winner's stand? up there with the 1983 QB class Elway Marino, Jim Kelly, Ken O'Brien, and the 2004 class Big Ben, Phil Rivers, Eli Manning. It feels like it is, it points at the fact that just because in the 21st century that the way

the draft works and contracts work and the term of those deals, that you jam your quarterback in there if you draft him in the first round, you're likely to be playing him in his rookie season, Patrick Mahomes being the looming exception to that, is that every QB is different and they do not hit the ground running necessarily. Kyler Murray did, but he kind of feels like he's hit his ceiling. Sam Darnold, kind of like Baker Mayfield, I guess, has found success a little deeper into his career. And it harkens back to maybe like a Jim Plunkett sort. Well, you say, though, you say kind of like Baker Mayfield. Now, I don't know what I'm doing here. I do know that it's probably not fair, but it is hard sometimes to change opinions once you've established them.

Baker Mayfield has changed my mind, but I always like Baker Mayfield more than I liked Sam Darnold. I didn't believe in Sam Darnold last year. I believe the Viking season would end the way that it did, and then Sam Darnold was seeing ghosts. He has not yet changed my mind. What am I doing there? Should I change my mind? Am I saying my mind? Am I simply wrong in saying, no, I know what Sam Darnold's ceiling is, and I'm not going to trust it to win a playoff game. I'm not going to trust either one of those teams last night to be meaningfully good teams that are going to be competing for the Super Bowl, no matter what their record is, even if one of them ends up being what last year's Vikings were. I'm making it very hard for Sam Darnold to change my mind, and I don't know why I'm doing that. It feels unfair.

I don't think it's unfair. I mean, it's seven years now. And 21st century history indicates that if a guy is going to make a Super Bowl run, he is more likely to do it in his first five or six years than he is on the other side of that. I do think that it is a real thing that for all the talk in the QB League about who is a QB whisper, KOC is one of the genuine articles. And there are very few of them. And perhaps he really did turn around. around Sam Darnold in a meaningful way that is carried over into this year. And by the way, that Seahawks team is for real. I think the skepticism about the Cardinals is a little more well placed at this point. But I have been about Mike McDonald's since he got there. And now that they land the QB, I don't think Sam Darnold is a top five quarterback, but I don't think he is a strike against your team in a big game until we prove it. We haven't really seen him outside of last year at 14 and 3 in the playoffs as he sort of was imploding there. We haven't really seen Sam Darnold in a big spot, but it is, it does point to, as far as

I'm concerned, this rolling conversation, and I heard you with Nick Wright last week, I don't understand. I think he and I park our cars in the same garage on this. This desire, the advanced analytics community has steered us weirdly into this place where the most impactful moments and there are not a lot of them in a quarterback's career. But those small moments or those few moments that a guy gets in January are the defining aspects of the guy's career. So you're right, I guess, that Sam Darnold hasn't shown us anything yet. So until he does in the big spot, which is in the playoffs, you know, your cynicism where he's concerned is

is well placed. That's what it's all about. This advanced analytics, too small a sample size to evaluate. You mean the entire point of every season? Who gets the Lombardi? We're going to diminish those moments in favor of what happens in October or in September against the Cardinals? Fet. Well, you say that. You dismiss me with your Fet, but I've seen Brad Johnson and Trent Dillfer win titles, and I've seen Dan Marino not. Exceptions that prove the rule. Okay, fair enough. episode is supported by FX's The Lowdown, starring Ethan Hawk.

Don Lebertard. Football. Football. Football. Football. Football. Football. Football.

Football. Football. Football. Stugats. Football. Football. Football. Football.

Football. Football. Football. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Can you tell me, Tony, and can you tell Damashik why you're out on Kyler Murray? Because he just said we've seen his ceiling, and a couple of weeks ago, you said, I'm done watching this. I know what this is. It's not going to get any better.

I think he's a wildly exciting quarterback, but I'm watching him in last night's. game, like I said, and that's as bad as he can look in the first half. The issue is that with his athleticism, he thinks he can kind of get out of every situation and make a play happen. And to a point, like, yes, he can. Like you sent me a video the other day of a Carolina game where he scrambled out through 19 guys, made a run, slid, game 25 yards. The issue is, I think as a passer, he's kind of regressed a little bit.

Dave, you can back me up on this. Like, it feels like there's open throws that he can make that he chooses not to to opt in for his athleticism to roll out and try. to make something else big happen. He doesn't trust his throws to the middle of the field. I feel like a lot of the stuff he's doing is to the boundaries. If McBride is covered in the middle of the field, like he kind of doesn't really know what to do.

I've just been out on Kyler Murray as a prospect where now I'm just like, he is what he is. He's a running quarterback that's going to try to get his stuff, but I don't think there's any ceiling. Like this is the ceiling for Kyler Murray. He's an okay guy who's going to give you nine wins on a good year. That sounds about right to me. I mean, he is, there has been little evidence that he can week to week.

I mean, that's the book on him, is that he's just good enough to get you exactly like Tony just said, the nine and nine and eight is he the man? I mean, it's a bad look when he's announcing I don't really like to study film. I mean, he's the face of the team. So I think that's that any sort of skepticism about this guy is, is warranted when he is the one. announcing that, yeah, the homework part of it, I'm not into it when obviously we all understand at this point. That's what it's all about for the most important position in sports. Put it on the poll, please, at Lebitard Show. Worst look for Kyler Murray. I don't really like to

watch film or I'm taking a photograph with a pit bull wearing a Michael Vick jersey. In fairness to Kyla Murray, maybe he's matured since then. That's a narrative that surrounded him a couple years ago coming off of an outstanding rookie camp. pain, but I took Dominique Foxworth's advice, and I watched a second, I know it's on site, I had a second screen experience with the All-22, and here's what I discovered. No one's getting open for Kyler Murray. No one. You want to talk about the middle of the field? There's only one guy there that gets consistently open for him, and he force feeds him the ball. Those wide receivers get zero separation. If anything, I came away super encouraged with Kyler Murray's performance

because he was trying to make it happen. He was forcing the ball into tight windows. His receivers were making plays down the stretch, but guys are not getting open for him. That is a very good defense that he went up against. Now, I do think that he's not without criticism. In fact, at one point, the graphics team put up, Kyla Murray has the second worst winning percentage of a starting quarterback. Minimum starts in that division in NFL history against the NFC West, and the worst one was Rick Meyer.

Rick Meyer didn't play in that division. He was in the AFC West. Kyler Murray barely has a 200 win percentage. And when you think about the Arizona Cardinals, they've been feisty. They've had, like, one bad year, but they've been feisty. It's surprising that that division has his number the way that they do. So you go to a quarterback coach, right, with Cliff Kingsbury, where he chose, like, Rosen was out. Cliff Kingsbury got the job.

He said, Rosen, you're gone. I'm getting Kyler Murray. And he had time to work with him. Now we see what he did with Jaden Daniel. Jaden Daniels is basically a special player, agreed. But that's what they thought Kyler Murray was going to be, right? He's got his limitations. And if you look at the second half of his career, as far as second.

in half of the year of his careers, like he's a really bad quarterback. I don't know what happens midway through the season. He just completely falls apart. They had a year where they were 11-no, best team in football, and then completely collapsed. You may be right, but I think last night, last night, the best player on the field on the offensive side of the ball was Kyla Murray. I agree with you. He did great last night. He has spots where he looks incredible, but the issue is that he doesn't sustain that for the entire season. Seattle has beaten them now eight straight times. And like I said, he was sacked six times last night and had to get rid of the ball faster than he ever has to get rid of the ball because he was getting rid of the ball insanely fast. It was always under 2.5 seconds. So what are your thoughts there, Damashak? Danny, I think that the thing that stands out to me about last night's game is the horrible ending of it. I mean, Kyler Murray, all the buzz about Marv and, and, you know,

quitting on plays and all of that and the drop and then he turns it on for the second half and especially that last drive and then the touchdown catch and Kyler as well and all of that and they tie the game and probably and this is so exciting and I think we're going to overtime and I knew it. I knew that the Seahawks were about to get the ball and make one completion and have a field goal shot to win the game and so they did. This this I don't want to get into kicking again Danny but it is a plague now that the way this is operating that and it keeps happening it's stealing the drama of the sport which doesn't make any sense because you would think a last second score to win the game would would be super exciting but I think we can agree it's undermining

the actual drama of the sport with those terror I mean the the weird rules and wait what's going on? What does that mean that the ball hit there and all of that? But now it doesn't matter because he completed one pass because he started at the 40-yard line and now they get to try to kick a 55-yard field going. Of course he's going to make it because every kicker makes 55-yard field goes and now the game's over and it all stinks. Is Aaron Rogers prioritizing not getting hit? Yes, clearly watch him and I think it's going to get further exposed against the Vikings and Brian Flores this weekend. Are the Niners done without Bosa? Yes, he's their Jenga piece, and when you remove, like a game of Jenga, the critical piece, the whole thing implodes.

Their ceiling is lowered. There is no home game in Super Bowl 60 for the Niners. Will Philadelphia and Tampa Bay settle the number one seed in the NFC? It will, and Mike Ryan's going to be thrilled to hear this with his MVP frontrunner, Baker, Mayfield, and Company are going to win that game outright. Woo! Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. are you still of the opinion like you were last week that we're letting them off the hook

for not winning during the Mhombs era? Of course. What are we letting off? Is Dan Marino not culpable? He didn't because he didn't win the Super Bowl. Well, he was in the same conference as John Elway and Jim Kelly. I mean, was Fran Tarkington,

is he let off the hook because he was in the same era as Bradshaw and Stoback and Snake Stabler? This is nonsense. Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, you are very rich guys for a reason. Prove it in the big spots come January. Is Emeka Abuka already going to be the rookie of the year and already a top tier wide receiver in this league? Well, clearly he is, but really consider the fact what if they get Evans and Godwin and Abuka. EGAD. EGAD and Fé, he has hit his head during this show.

What language is that? Dave, what are your thoughts on the kickoff rule? We've had a couple of season sample now and it's actually, kickers are now being more strategic with how they're doing this and it's leading to some wonky plays happen to your Steelers.

It stinks. I mean, I get that it's for player safety and so obviously we don't want guys getting knocked out cold on the football field for our pleasure, but whatever they're doing now ain't working. There is, I'm not interested

investing my limited brain power and understanding what the rules are and what the repercussions are if you don't meet them. It's all terrible. No one is enjoying this. Just do away with it if we have to start them at the 25-yard line. Football America is a great show. It's on Monday and Friday as part of Metal Arc Media. Thank you for turning that down as I turn to a serious societal point about Jimmy Kimmel because Damashek used to be a writer for Kimmel. Jeremy, can you look up for me the formal definitions, please, of both Fe and Egad? I'd like to know the definitions for both of those

words. Lovely words I wasn't expecting to hear today. You were a writer for Kimmel. Your thoughts about everything that happened over the last couple of weeks. I should explain that maybe the fact came out because I'm drunk on Tylenol right now. I'm not responsible for my own actions. I think that it felt in the moment and we'll see if it is if it sustains. But I really do and did feel like watching him that a fever kind of broke there. And I think it marries up with the Tom Brady weirdly, the Tom Brady booth scandal as much as it's a scandal, because the takeaway for me with Brady sitting there in the booth is. And people say like, well, he's allowed to do it. And here's the question with the Brady thing and I'll get back to the Kimmel thing

and I'll try to connect my points. You're doing whatever you want. I'm clear on you just doing whatever you want. I'm eager to hear how it is you're going to make a free speech issue with Jimmy Kimmel about Tom Brady. Because Tom Brady represents the grotesquely wealthy. And the thing, well, he's allowed to do it. If there is no value in Tom Brady sitting in that booth, then why is he doing it? And the reason that he's allowed to do it and the people who Goodell on down, who forgive him, are fellow elites.

And it really is, and forgive the reach here, but he is part Nico Tuscany, Stephen Seagall, above the law. And he's got some humbred, humber to it, not the darkest parts of humbered, humbered in Lolita. But the fact that he is this charming, handsome guy is apparently the excuse. So it's Tom Brady. Everybody knows him. He's the face of the league. Come on. He's not doing anything wrong except for the plague of scandals that has followed him for 25 years. Never mind all that because his fellow elites let him off the hook with this. And that is the problem right now. It is the elites against all the rest of us. It really is in our society. And I don't want to make too big a deal about the football hero. But then it connects to Kimmel. What is the difference there? It feels good for we, the proletariat, to say, we can't. canceled our Disney Plus subscriptions, and that's what carried the day.

But really, in my opinion, the fact is it was the powerful speaking up and using their voices to say this is wrong. That is what will change society. I really do think that that's what it is going to take. And the reason I say the fever broke is because I do think some elites on either side really spoke up, but it was people using their juice to say, you know, whether it was Howard Stern or David Letterman or otherwise, those people speaking up, and that's what we need for our society to get onto a better track than it's on right now. And I really do think those two things sort of

highlight the, I don't know. Too big a reach there, Dan? It was a substantive reach, but I'll allow it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

Nice travels Don Levatard The Judge Coach sweetie Stugats I should say hello This is the Dan Levitar show With the Stugats Well here's a reach

Let's say that Disney believes that Next Star and Sinclair Was breach of contract Because they preempt the Kimmel Let's say Disney punishes Nexstar and Sinclair in those stations by not showing stuff like, I don't know, college football and Monday night football.

Do you think that can actually happen? I, you know, I think that it was, I thought it was great stuff last week as you guys jumped into it, that people don't fully grasp the juice. It's a little in the weeds, I guess, but the way those late night shows work, especially and the juice that those that those affiliate groups have. I think you're exactly right, Roy, that that is the pushback. That's what I'm talking about, is the powerful pushing back at these people that are trying to assert their power.

And that would be the greatest and funniest thing in the world. In the meantime, I think the great ratings that Kimmel is getting really is a black eye for those affiliate groups. So, I mean, imagine if you're in one of, if you're in Seattle as a, for instance, and you're not getting the Kimmel show because Sinclair or Nexstar depriving you of it. Of course, you're going to pound the table for that. But in the meantime, ABC, Disney can really screw those people and say, we're going to assert our, our juice and take away your football. Deal with that. That's, I mean, that seems to me the way out of the mess that we're in.

Put it on the poll, please, at Lebitard Show. is it fair to say that Tom Brady has been followed by a plague of scandals, as Damashak just said. I don't know whether that's fair to say a plague. Of course it is. It extends beyond the duration of the dynasty at this point. What are we talking about? Of course.

It's his entire career is a scandal. An occasional scandal. I don't think it's a plague of scandals, but regardless. A plague of scandals, Dan. A plague of scandals starting off. When do we meet him? The tuck rule. That's just a football one. But of course, the deflion

I have to tell you about deflated footballs and videotapes of their playoff foes and him getting Jimmy G banished across football America because he doesn't like him as his backup. I mean, the fact that this guy, again, Nico Tuscany of Pigskin is Tom Brady. This is a guy who didn't like that his head coach didn't like that he was steering his teammates. into his own rehab facility instead of the team facility. Belichick doesn't like that, understandably. So Brady has to get away from Belichick. So he tries secretly to buy the Miami Dolphins

and install himself like Warren Beatty and Heaven Can Wait as the starting quarterback. But that doesn't work out because people get wind of that. So he takes the backup, he takes the fallback in Florida and goes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and uses them. He's a mercenary. It is the weirdest, worst, most unsatisfying Super Bowl victory for a city. I've got to think, I don't know, how desperate were Tampa Bay football fans to get one.

The exchange was a celebration to genuflect to Tom Brady one last time. They were an afterthought in the process where the Buccaneers. Then he leaves there. He buys the Raiders. Now he's doing what he's doing, whatever he wants. Again, why? Because he's above the law, Dan. If you want more references to the 1976 movie, Heaven Can Wait,

watch Football America twice a week, Mondays and Fridays on YouTube. Football America Show is where you go. I can't believe this. Dave did such a great job highlighting the scandals. He forgot one. Remember the dolphins flirtation and the tampering. No, he said that. I think he said that.

I mean, like while he was leveraging that with the Raiders. I mean, real bad guy now. Oh, yeah. Listen, it's not just deep dives into the distant past. We also deep dive into important football luminaries like Taven Bryan, who factors significantly into why Lamar Jackson is on the Baltimore Ravens right now. We cover that, of course, everybody down there in the Sunshine State. Sunshine State remembers the great Taven Brian when he was toiling for the Florida Gator.

Get out of here. Good talking to you, Damashek. We will talk to you next week, sir. See you, Dave. Can't wait. Setting the ship, though. Just this last few weeks, we've had Fox go back on the rules and the league go back on the rules because they realize, oh, he's in the box and he's listening to all these coaches talk and he has insight and also to really clean things up starting a flag football league in Saudi Arabia. So maybe Dave is on to something. Is he indeed being paid $75 million for that? I keep hearing people cite that number and it doesn't sound like it can be real to me. Is he got a player or is he going to coach? Or is it his league?

Honestly, in retrospect, maybe we were a little hard on Phil Mickelson. I mean, everybody's doing it. You got Messi, you got Ronaldo, you got the rumors of LeBron starting a basketball league with them. You got Chappelle. And let me tell you something, America, we don't exactly have the moral high ground on many countries here. All right, but we laundered the blood money and now it has been successfully laundered. Yeah, but we got a superiority complex, pal.

Like our human rights record is slowly dwindling. Hey, you want to go watch a big time football game? Wow. Do you want to watch a big time football game? That game last night is exactly why Jonathan Zaslow and I are so locked in on that's exactly what you want. No teams appreciably better than the other one. Each possession, a 25-yard pass feeling like it is a massive play. That is great football.

I wish I was there in Arizona, beautiful uniforms from the Cardinals too, to watch that game. But I'm sure it was a hot ticket. And if something's a hot ticket, how do you even? can get in that building, Tony. You download the game time. That's what you do. That's what you do.

Tony is about to leave with my father to go over to the Freedom Tower. Can you go get my father though and bring him in here? Personally, just drag him in here so that we can do refranda

with him. We will get to the definitions of Fe, the formal definitions of Fe and EGAD in a second. But first, we have to do, as we will do daily until the World Cup, the Ray Hudson call of the day. Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson, called up the dead. Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson, right, Ray Hudson, right, hand. Ray Hudson, right, reason, right, reason. Ray Hudson, call with the day. Right, action, right, right, go, go, go, way, go, go, go. Ray Hudson

Ray Hobson This is what Ray Hobson This is what Ray Hudson This is what Ray Hudson He wanted He wanted He wanted a god of the dick

He wanted He wanted Wanting, Mauna, Ray Hudson, call up the day, what? Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson, call up the day. Ray Hudson. Ray Hudson, Ray Hudson, cause you get. Hudson Ray Hudson

God of the day This is what day This is what day This is what day This is what day This is what day Howe The coffee house and trick with the back heels of the back heel

The back heel flick and cool is Jimmy Hendricks at Woodstock Absolutely imperious Rodolfo Pizarro in this bizarro world Where'd my father go? I went to go get him and I walked outside everybody's like oh, you're looking for Bobby? And I was like, yeah, they're like, yeah, he left. And I was like, what do you mean he left? He's like, yeah, he said he'll wait for you at the Freedom Tower. I was like, well, Dan wanted him like 45 minutes ago. And he's like, yeah, he just left.

Rodolfo Pizarro did make me laugh. I did want to ask my father, I don't think he's been back to the Freedom Tower since he was processed in America at the Freedom Tower. I don't think he's been back since, but Tony's going to go over there with him. I'm super excited about this, Dan. This is a really cool piece of our history. It's going to be a private tour. They haven't even opened it back up. It's not opening back up until next month.

So I'm going to go over there with you after the show. All right. I'll see you later. Jeremy, can you give me these definitions, please? Because pha is a satisfying word to say, put it on the poll, please, that lebitard show. Is fe a satisfying word to say to dismiss someone? Fe, an exclamation is conveying disapproval, displeasure, or disgust. Use in a sentence, the greatest writer in the English language,

Fe. egad of course also an exclamation expressing surprise anger or affirmation Tony make sure you scout out that plot of land next to the Freedom Tower that seems like a valuable plot of land it's just a parking just given to the state for what you'll find out egad is something I have not heard anyone under 80 years old you know what Kathy would say in the comic strip I think I I think that's the only place I've, I think that's the only place I've heard it said other than Damashek.

The look of horror on Jeremy's face when he just found out what that plot of land is going to be used for. Right next to us, yes, right next to us. You didn't know what that was. Here? Oh, yeah. State is voting on it, and the state is controlled by getting to New York. Wow. Next to, right next to the Freedom Tower, will it block?

Do we know how high, how much of the airspace is going to be taken there? the biggest and the tallest, don't you worry, Dan? Are they going to block our view? Is it literally going to block my view of freedom? All of this will age extremely well in a couple of years. Don't worry about it. It's a giant college football weekend. Mike Ryan has been delighting in the fact that the Virginia line keeps going down.

FSU is now, is it now FSU favored by six or six and a half? Six and a half. This is a very spooky game for FSU. I think we're going to learn a lot now. FSU undoubtedly impressive against Alabama but watching that back and there's a lot of social media low lights out there was this more about FSU was this about Alabama being completely unprepared there's some daming video out there of guys being totally out of position loafing around on the field and since then Alabama even though suspect teams they seem to have righted the ship somewhat

so I'm really curious on the road at Virginia we saw a lot of Miami teams that we thought might be for real that got us excited at the start of the season, go to Charlottesville and lose in a conference game. This Chandler-Morris offense of Virginia's can move the ball. I'm curious to see what kind of defense we see from FSU. Castellanos has been on the record saying in practice, I'm seeing the best defense I'll see all year, and so far he's been proven right.

But they played one of the worst FCS teams ever. Kent State won for the record books. This Kent State team may be worse than last years. So I'm very curious to see how this goes, and I'm taking the who's with the points. I'm going to do this. I don't normally do this. Put the town on alert.

I am going to tell you that I would parlay money lines of Old Miss and Virginia to win the games. Outright, I will also tell you I'm a truly epically terrible gambler. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Quervo, anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true.

True, but even during an ad reads like... Quervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Quervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Quervo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo.
