You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Welcome to the big suite, presented by Giraffe King. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard 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, that face and the habitual liar. Tough weekend for the foot, girls, Lucy. Last weekend, you were at Penn State. How's that Notre Dame? How we doing?

It's Thursday. Well, it's Friday. Who knows what day it is, honestly. The days go by really slow when you can't square-paint. So you don't know what day it is. You don't know what time it is. You don't know what the reason for everything is. The meaning of life?

Yeah. I don't know what it is. I don't think there is one. Definitely couldn't be. You need an Arbise. There's no purpose behind a world where Brian Farrant is a Power Five offensive coordinator. There's not.

So I guess we'll do a little bit of a week for recap. We had one of the better college football slates, but I'm curious if you had a similar reaction to me in terms of some of these games being a little disappointing. I guess I was a little disappointed now that you think of it. I think I was kind of waiting for that one moment that was like not like Notre Dame Ohio State,

but it felt like there was a chance for a really big upset in there and we didn't get it. And I honestly was sitting thinking about the other day. I'm like, we really haven't had that moment outside if we wanted to say Colorado TCU week one, but I don't even really think that counts because it's week one. We haven't had that crazy upset loss yet. Maybe it's this weekend.

I don't know. I feel like Mississippi beating Alabama would have delivered that moment, but Sabin pulled it off again. I think it's their eighth win in a row against Mississippi. and he had to think like this was the year Ole Miss was gonna like the lane Kiffin was doing all the trolling. He was calling out Alabama's defensive coordinator. Alabama's got QB struggles. Like this is the year. He's got to get it. This is fourth year there. He's gonna do it this year. And despite the fact that Alabama just was kicking up ton of field goals and had really just bizarre offensive play again in the first half,

couldn't get it done. I wasn't surprised because I don't trust Lane Kiven to beat Nick Sabin. It hasn't happened. It's never happened. I don't think it's ever going to happen. I'm still like not a thousand percent in on this Alabama team. I think their offensive line is an issue.

I thought you had the middle role played well. I don't think quarterbacks the problem. I think it's a line It's weird because I'm so bummed out because it feels like a year where Alabama is not very good But the entire and not not very good by that. I mean, they're not the best team in college football. Yeah And the SEC West really doesn't seem to have much Competition there for someone who could actually beat them. It's possible, but it really doesn't feel like a year where there's another, you know, okay, well, we know LSU is better because we don't. LSU kept it close against Arkansas this weekend. We know.

We know that. We really close. That definitely flew under the radar, I think, in terms of results. But now we get to see LSU play Ole Miss and we'll get to see like the transitive property and maybe figure out what will happen when Alabama plays. LSU, because I think you're right. I think that's the only SEC West team that I'm definitely gonna be watching that game

to see what happens. I'm not sure if the rest of them make me that concerned for Alabama. No, tech saying M just lost a quarterback. Yeah, I'm so sorry for them. Who knows what's going on with Arkansas? That's a weird team. It is.

Mississippi states out of the question, like the SEC West is not good. It's not good. When we're like, hey, Hugh Freese be the guy for us. That's when we know we're in trouble. We are in a lot of trouble. There was also, I was looking forward to the UCLA Utah game. And it ended up being like a defensive,

like just two powerhouse defense. UCLA ended up getting nine Russian yards in this game and Dante Moore, who's a true freshman, he's going to be really good, I think. But like their team did him no favors in this game. They were not really able to do anything until the very end of the game. So Utah wins that one. They have yet to play cameraizing and they look so good and have a great defense. I'm always high on Utah. They're my pick to win the patch. Well, I've pretty much every single year. I understand your concerns with UCLA.

However, I do need to point out that it's just a big 10 team playing big 10 football. That is spot on Lucy. There is also a defensive score in this game. So yeah, they're ready. Big big 10 vibes for for the future big 10 West UCLA Bruins. They're gonna love road trips to Wisconsin. They're already fitting in perfect. Speaking of Wisconsin, they lost a Washington state a couple weeks ago, Washington state and the nobody wants us ball played Oregon state. We already talked about Washington state's head coach Jack Dicker calling out Lee Corso this weekend. I feel like the theme of week four was as one of my friends put it light elder abuse

Wherever you look a little bit of a little bit of making fun of old people this weekend feel like her parents got away easy out of the old people we all yelled at but yeah, it was weird with with Ryan Day and Jake Dicker It kind of feels like Dianne has lit a little bit of a spark where people are like, I can talk a little more freely now. I can say whatever I want. I can say whatever I want. People are gonna think I'm cool, then Ryan Day doesn't like, there's not, no.

There's enough from you, my guy. I feel like, I mean, we should talk about Ryan Day, and we'll talk about Notre Dame and Ohio State because huge win for Ohio State. That's not huge. They have to play Penn State and Michigan, there are only other two ranked teams on their schedule right now.

And we know how they've looked against Michigan the last couple of years. So they definitely needed, Ryan Day needed this. Absolutely. But I feel like he could have gotten away with what he said if he didn't say it so weirdly. The delivery was off. Delivery was weird.

It felt like something that maybe is a, is it in the post game presser, not so much as the right after the game. Also, side note, we've only played two bad halves. That's not true. Yeah. That's not true at all. There are, you've played several bad halves against Michigan alone. And the substance of what Lou Holt said, I feel like I've talked about this on like 15 podcasts already this week, so we'll keep it brief.

But I'm not like the biggest little holds fan. The substance of what he said, I thought was pretty fair. Like Ohio State has looked like the less physical team against the Michigan's and the Clemsons and the Georgia's. And I don't know if beating Notre Dame on this final possession with only 10 men on the other side of the field really proves that they are back to whatever the standard was like three or four years ago, but that will remain to be seen

because they are a very good team. And I think they will win a lot of games. I think the reason we saw such an overreaction from Ryan Day in that moment is I think people outside of the college football world and maybe even outside of the Ohio space don't realize how much his own fans hate him. Oh my God.

Ohio State fans, you would think that guy has never won a game before. They hate him so much. He's not fighting against Lou Holt. He's fighting against his own fan base. Yeah, I mean, I think that if they lose to Michigan this year, like he's a hot seat. He either will be fired or they will wait

until something happens like early next season to fire him. Like I do not feel like he's long for that role unless he beats Michigan this year. So I think this does help him and maybe they give him a little bit more leeway if that happens, but like they need to beat Michigan this year. So that is the thing that all Ohio state fans

care about the most. Michigan kept it kind of close against Rutgers for a little bit, which I feel like is a natural thing. People were freaking out and I was like, look, that's how they get warmed up. It'll happen again. If they were to just blow Rutgers out, to start off with, I'd be like, whoa, something's up here.

Something might be wrong. They need to keep it close for a little bit. I thought that Oregon and Colorado, I think you might have predicted a shootout. I think am I getting that wrong? I predicted Colorado to cover. Okay, back call. So close, well, yeah. But Oregon, I thought Colorado to cover. Okay, back call. So close, well, yeah.

But Oregon, I thought would win big. Okay, well they did. They were up 35 to zero at the half. I thought, been there. Yeah. Been there. I thought this game was one that I also was like, really looking forward to.

And then after the first two, Oregon offensive possessions, I was like, yeah, don't have to watch the rest of this one. It was, I mean, I think that all of us, anyone who's like a close college football person, we all knew that was going to happen. So it was just a matter of time. It was just okay.

The second they played a team a little more talented than them with a tougher line, then, yeah. It all felt pretty natural. And I'm kind of excited about it because a buddy of mine texted me about it this weekend. He was like, I'm not anti-deon. I'm anti-cholarato hype because we're not talking about how bad Alabama is because of it. They're just getting away with it. And so it'll, they play USC this weekend, I kind of think it'll be more of the same. Also, it's a 10-ing-M kick.

I welcome to the big 10. Welcome. Better start getting up at 7 a.m. and drinking spotted cows like the rest of us in the Midwest. It's actually disgusting and that's why I didn't go to Wisconsin anyways. Let's move on to the game you were at. Oh yeah, thank you. Iowa and Penn State. We actually have a game that we want to play. We do have a game. So already played this game with Jess. It wasn't very fun for me, but I think she had a good time. Taylor, are you ready for our first ever edition of Guess That Iowa Stats? I am ready. Do we have fanfare ready? Do you have sad music? In post.

In post, right? Thanks Taylor. Sounds so good. So Lucy's going to ask you to guess a number based on Iowa statistic and then I think if you guess it right you win if you guess it wrong or you go over You lose. Okay, and if you guess under like maybe you still win. Okay, because it was still a good guess because all of them are bad If it's not the under it's not Iowa, you know All right, so let's start off with the Newsy one. How many first downs did Iowa have? I believe I heard you say this Four yes correct. I always all 2. Insert fanfare. All right.

How many passing yards did I what have? Can't be much. 45. Under, it was 56. Oh! Didn't see most of those. You get fanfare for that. You get fanfare for that.

Played safe. All right. What was I was time of possession? Feels like Penn State had the ball the entire game. Oh, trust me, I know. I'm gonna say 12 minutes. Oh, 14 minutes and 33 seconds. That's pretty bad. That's it.

That might actually be good for Iowa. Alright, how many plays did Iowa run in 14 minutes? Trying to think of what an average would be. I feel like an average would be about 70-ish plays. I'm gonna say Iowa had about half of that 35. 33. Oh, you run over. But right there.

So close, though. So how many depends, how many depends? How many depends, how many depends, they'd have? You have to guess. 95. 97. You're gonna get this game. So how many depends how many depends state have? 95 97 Get it this game Nailed it. All right, ask about the plant yards. Oh, this one's so good. So Tori Taylor player of the game

How many plant yards did he have? I know it was a lot because I actually texted Dan that they had more three in-outs than First downs, that's how we're good. So I'm gonna go with and he is he's great actually texted Dan that they had more three in outs than first downs. That's every game. So I'm going to go with, and he is great punter. Every pun is getting down inside the tent. When you said the punter's your favorite player, I was like, oh, she's kind of being, she's over-hyped.

He is on a bet. He's not literally amazing. I'm going to go really high for him, 250. Oh. 366. No. Look, Grace. And he hit he.

When we were talking on the show earlier this week about players having a look in their eyes, I was like, Tori Diller, I was like, what's up to five? That guy has a look in his eyes. He is literally my favorite player. And I was telling all the Penn State fans around me, I was like, look, it would be even further

if it weren't for this guy. And they were like, okay, be for real. And they saw that guy punt. He is so great at what he does. So there's always a silver lining. It's Penn State actually good this year. I don't think that, I do think Penn State is good. I think that game was more indicative of Iowa.

Iowa had a couple tough breaks in the first quarter where Iowa was actually driving to start the game and looked really good. Fumbled, I didn't think it was a fumble. No one in the stadium thought it was a fumble, except for their raft, so that was kind of a bummer. But Iowa did more to lose this game than Penn State did to win because it was close at half. It was 10-nothing. Iowa's defense, this is the story of my life, held up, played really, really well.

But when you're out there for 45 minutes, naturally, you're going to get tired, and you're going to get worn down and then Penn State just sort of ran over our line. But Penn State is good, but I think this game was more Iowa being bad than Penn State being good. Okay. All right, two more games I wanna briefly talk about before we move on to this upcoming weekend,

FSU and Clemson. FSU's ranked, Clemson, double unranked now because they have two losses to conference opponents, Duke and Florida State, came down to the wire Lucy. Clemson's kicker came back from like a job on Wall Street and missed a chip shot late. Sean McDonough made a joke about the Ryder strike. This game had everything, I think this was probably

the best early slate game of the weekend. Clemson is like now in No Man's Land. I saw their probability for winning out the rest of the seasons, like less than 10%. I think based off Bill Connelly's model, I believe. But Florida State like sneaks another one through against an ACC team that like they maybe should have lost it. So does this make you feel better

about your Florida State's overrated take? I don't think they're particularly overrated, but I know they have a loss in them. I'm waiting for the loss to happen. I think Clemson really exposed that Florida state, the talent isn't as far stretched as you thought, because I really thought I said it on the show last week. I thought Florida State's sound

was completely overwhelmed Clemson. That was not the case. They have a loss in them. I know they do. But something about this game I wanted to talk about was Davo came out after and was like, we were three, four plays away from being undefeated. You lost a Duke 28 to seven.

Well, three of the plays were then like fumbling in the red zone when they could have scored a touchdown. So he's not like entirely wrong about that. But I'd say maybe like eight plays. I was like maybe like eight plays. I would give me seven to 10. Give me that range. You were not three plays away.

It's not three. I think Clemson's a really talented team and a good team, but I think they are being coached badly and they are losing games because of it. It's and it's one of those things where I sit here as an Iowa fan knowing what I go through every day and I can see what's about to happen at glimpsen They're about to be where I'm at. Oh, no, that's terrible. Good luck. Okay, really quickly Northwestern and Minnesota

One of the funniest games of the weekend to really terrible teams Northwestern finally won a game in the United States by Coming back from down 21 points to Minnesota Minnesota Blue a three touchdown lead. It was so exciting, Lucy Northwestern had a two-minute 80-yard drive at the end of the game. Just absolutely amazing. And now Penn State's playing at Northwestern, and one of the funniest things that I've ever seen

is James Franklin saying that they're practicing without any music pumping into their practice to get ready for the atmosphere in Evanston, Illinois. If you've ever been to a game there, you know that's incredibly accurate. Honestly, if you just played their own fights on Christmas, there's so many Penn State fans there, it's very bleak.

I think something we need to bring up because it's disgusting. You need to tell your children about it now. You need to prepare yourself for it. Northwestern beating Minnesota, most likely, I will be in the Big Ten Championship game this year, is Iowa, Wisconsin. You don't have any other options.

Good luck. Children's eyes. Unfortunately, week five, not as many great ranked games as week four. However, Friday has a pretty good slate. If you're watching Friday night, you have no- What is it? 10 Utah versus number 19, Oregon State.

Oregon State was the loser of the Nobody Wants Us Bowl, which was a conference game. So they're trying to, to NACCO 0-2 in the Pac-12, but Utah, like we mentioned, has been really, really good. So I think we're both picking Utah in this one. Yeah, I'm picking Utah, but this has energy where they could totally lose.

This is, I feel like we're about to start the cycle that we always know of the Pac-12 just beating up on each other. We also have LSU and Ole Miss this weekend. LSU is a two and a half point favorite. This one, I'm really excited to watch. I don't know what's gonna happen. And then finally, the 730 game, Duke and Notre Dame.

If Notre Dame loses, you will all never see me again. I think Notre Dame wins, but Rolly Lennard, I love you. At Public Mobile, we do things differently.

Oh, there's a stubby jacket running down his highlight. It's not true. It's not true. Yeah. And there's a World War II veteran pitching into another white guy and he avoids another white guy Oh my god, not a name the fighting timers have done it again for the 8th time I'm gonna play in white people still got chubby checker Sorry

He's black and I was really Sorry, man I'm sorry man. I'm in proveneer. It's a pretty cool rift. He smells it differently. His name is choppy. Maybe you didn't hear me correctly. His name is choppy checkers. It's an S at the end.

I feel like that should be the largest of five. And choppy checker. It sounds like a college football name. This is the Dalébatar show with the Stugats. We have not, because we are not that show, spent very much time this week previewing Bill's Dolphin. So I was tempted. I was tempted to do one of our first ever previews of a game

when we mock previews of a game. But I can't imagine, Chris Cody, how much you're enjoying the video and audio coming out of Sunday's game, where it's not just Tuwa coming to the huddle, I'm sorry, Tyree Keele coming to the huddle and asking Tuwa, when are we gonna do our celebration? Can we do our touchdown celebration

and Tuwa responding? We'll do it celebration? Can we do our touchdown celebration? And two of responding, we'll do it right here when we get the touchdown. Now there is audio that just came out of Tyree Kill coming back and seeing to after a 54 yard touchdown and two was asking him, what route did you just run? Like what were you doing? What, I threw you the ball and you scored

a 54 yard touchdown, but I don't know what, what were you doing? What, what, I threw you the ball and you scored a 54-yard touchdown, but I don't know what route you were. That's actually the name of the route. Tyreek also struggled to say camaraderie. Did you guys see that clip? Let's talk. Is it? We didn't talk at all about Tyreek saying

after his playing days, he wants to get into porn. That is something we have not gotten into in any way. All right. Let's move on to the bucket of debt. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, Fred chicken and it's delightful. The Reaper has not been himself since he was reprimanded for arriving late for a meeting. He's been disgruntled complaining about health benefits. Oh, I hope everyone signed up. Yeah, all right.

Good. Yeah, the bucket of death is brought to you by KFC's new hot and spicy wings, order an AP so the new hot and spicy wings for $4.99 at participating KFC today it is finger-lican-good. Health benefits seem kind of redundant for the Reaper, but... Did you enroll Reaper?

You good? Jeremy is the first one at the bucket. Let's see what you've got. We're all rooting for you. This is Rommage, here's the first pick. The Denver Bronco. That's never fun. The Bronco is a bear. It's a bear. It's a terrible game. The bears are a three point dog of really awful game. I don't want to watch the game.

That I think most of the country is getting that game. Now they should send Taylor Swift to that game. Would rather get worse odds and not have to watch that. I love that the Broncos lost the biggest margin in NFL history and are still favored against the Washington commanders. They are an eight and a half point dog at the eagle. Good put back. Same how it did not you did not upgrade. I don't know how well I didn't. Juju is select. There was a helmet that fell out. Let's make sure we take inventory of that.

And it's massive. What do you got? What do you got what do you got you June? I got the new Orleans Saints. All right, so the Saints are I'm looking at this. I'm sorry for giving me noises while I Rear is her. Oh, they are home against home against the bucket ears. They are three point favorite off the glass back into the bucket rummaging again Oops New York Giants the Giants are at home. They are one and a half point favorite against the C-Hawk Dan, let's make a pack let's put let's make a pack me and you we both we take our first pick no putbacks for you Me this one. I like this. What a crazy. I'll do it if you do it Let's all do it the rest. Oh

No, just me and you Dan you decline You except girl why wasn't Dan all of us are you a chick are you declines? No deal deals off stay with me. I take the deal back. It's off stable Dan a coward Wow the bucks They're a three point dog at home against this I'm sorry. They're a three point dog on the road against the Saints I'm putting it back. See Dan you could have screwed me there. You feel good about yourself. You're I got the Ravens I Lost with the Ravens last Ravens are playing the Browns Ravens are pretty banged up the Browns are favored in the Ravens last. Ravens are playing the Browns. Ravens are pretty banged out.

The Browns are favored, Dan. The Ravens had seven starters out last week. The Browns are favored by two and a half. There's one stuck to my thumb right now, Dan. I'm gonna take that one. Oh, God. The Broncos. Whoa.

Which, it actually is a good bounce back spot for them. I like that minstead. The Bears stink, guys. I know, but spot for them. I like that minstrel. The bear's stink, guys. I know, but what if this is the one that Justin feels turns it around, runs for like 200 yards? I'm putting it back. Let's see, rummaging. I want the Colts.

Gardener Minshue, is he back? Yeah. Ah, they are one and a half point favorite at home against the ramp. I'll keep it. I hate this bucket. We all do. We all do. I love cab seats.

Oh, it's so good. We love the bucket of chicken. We do not love the bucket of sellments. How he's a bat, by the way. Yeah, you should check it. 49ers? It's insane. What's the Steelers?

The Steelers, you seem sad. They are at the Texans. They are a favorite. A three point favorite at Houston. And Jessica's making the face. She does not trust her team. They're off. She does not understand why they're a favorite.

I've had enough of that offense. I'm putting it back. I can't do that anymore. Good call, Lucy. I don't trust them. You should put the Iowa helmet in there. Ooh, I'm down. I love that.

It should be the Brian Ferrance, like what is it, 22 and a half points? Yeah. Yeah, that's a great helmet. Next week it's in. I got the Cardinals so great. I am sorry. Hey, the Red Hot Arizona Cardinals.

The Cowboys. That was the least I've ever said great. Good news, bad news situation. The Cardinals are coming off of win. The bad news is they're at San Francisco. It's a two touchdown underdog at San Francisco. I'm three and O right now and I got the

Texans. I'm putting that back. Oh, three point. Three point. Three point dog at home. I don't want to keep it, but I'm going to put it back. Jim. I'm going to regret that. I'm not a bad role. I'm not a bad role.

The Vikings. The O and three Vikings. Adam Thielin Revenge game. They're due. Wild take from Tony yesterday. About Kurt Cousins being to blame for that. Kind of his fault. Vikings are at the Panthers. They are a three and a half point favorite on the road. Back on going for. Back on going for it, Ed. All right. I'd keep that on. So far this season, I only have 1L. Since in any Bengals on the road, I think it's a 2.5 point spread against a Tennessee Titans. I'm a degenerate that way.

And I can just do that from the top. I'm gambling again. Do I want to go against an underdog variable that just lost? I'm so confused by the Titans, I don't want the smoke I'm putting this back. You're putting back a two and a half point favorite. Yeah, I don't want any part of underdog Mike Vrable. Wow. Especially coming off of an underdog loss.

But the Bengals are due too. Atlanta Falcons in London against a Jacksonville Jaguars. And I think it's the first time I'm actively rooting for a serious injury to game. I'm a toy store game. I'm a toy store game. I'm a toy store game. The Jags are a three point favorite. You are rooting for injury.

That is what you are saying publicly and right away. Just to see how slinky dog deals with it. All right, Dan is committed here to go with the first helmet. I don't think that that's what we agreed to. I got writing on a helmet. Ooh, I got the swap helmet.

Ah! Now you get the falcon. Keeping the swap, you would pick another helmet to see what you're swapping. Yes. What are the good helmets? Who picks? Who picks?

Some giant. Who picks something good? A lot of crap to do. Give me the whole week though. Give me everybody who's picked this week. Billy had the cowboys. They're playing the Patriots. Roy had army on a buy.

Oh, there, that's the one. All right, so pick another helmet to see what we're going to do. Get Roy. Get some work. Some work. Sorry, Roy. Greg Cody didn't have the dolphins. Roy, I'll out, Roy.

I am so sorry. Sorry, you could put it back. No, because Roy gets instant death and the fine bucket has no money in it. Here we got the fricking one. That's right. Yeah! That's racist. It does kind of feel a little racist. It does kind of feel a little racist.
