Let me tell you this. It's going to be consequences. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? 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 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 Levitart show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. We are not great around. here about consequences, about accountability. So people say things and then they just sort of

turned to dust. But Greg Cody did say when the Seattle Mariners were up to O that if they didn't make it to the World Series, he would walk to Seattle. And we're going to make him do that. Now, because we don't want to kill him, we're not going to make him do it from here, but we are going to make him do it from the closest city to Seattle that has a mayor. That is how we have decided this. So it's a four-hour walk, and we're going to make him do this. And now I have nine olives in front of me. And he said he could do the show with nine olives. Oh, those are jumbos, though.

What do you mean? They're jumbos, actually. What do you mean they're jumbos? They're just olives. There's no pits, right? I don't know. You said you can do it. Go ahead and let's see.

We will get your... Can you say nine in one bite? Well, you're not supposed to bite them. No, you're putting them all in. You're putting all nine of them in your mouth. Okay. Does it have a pit? At the same time.

No, that's good. All right. So go ahead and put all nine of them in your mouth And then I will get your analysis And then I can eat them right away No, you have to put them first You said you can have them easily in your mouth You said we wouldn't even notice if they were in your mouth

That's what you said So go ahead Choke please God that would be great content All right that's full You can admit you can take the L You don't need to choke Take the L that's good

Your mouth is too full you can't get all nine in He's not even halfway there yet For the audio audience he has about six in his mouth And he's clearly at capacity Oh he's blessed Six. It's much bigger than I thought that name. All those are different.

The olives I had in mine are that big. I mean, these are this big. These are like the size of eggs. You're not supposed to chew them. They're not the size of eggs, unless you're talking about, like, tiny little goose eggs. Quail eggs. That has to be too much, admit. That's too much salt, even for you.

You know what they're the size of? Olives. No, these are big. I feel like I'm eating a University of Miami football uniform. they're good though I'm getting nauseous looking at this put all of them put all of the remainder put put all of the

remainder of the olives in your mouth and then promote this week's Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody with the remainder of those the five of those in your mouth okay there's one that you couldn't get but go ahead and give us tell us what's on the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody

it's one of the episode we only time Michael joins us. Younger some, Michael. Well, Halloween edition of Greg Doesn't Know movies. Plus, Christopher and I get into a huge rapid-cacking argument

over the Dolphins win yesterday. We almost come to blows on the air. My dad has the crazy take of, when the dolphins win, bad. I mean, when they lose bad, when they win, good. Look, I don't believe in tanking. This guy thinks tanking is easy. He would have

wanted them to go to 1 and 16. Just eat the olives. You know, I can tell you what's going to happen. They are. They're going to finish like seven and nine. They're going to have a nice second half to the season. They won't play the last game? They're going to get a – well, whatever.

They're going to have a mid-round draft pick. You know, people like Christopher, they see a victory not as a good thing, but as, oh, we just sank another five spots in the first round order. Who cares? Make a good pick at 16. There's a good player at 16. How about you to identify him? Draft him.

God, I will get to the Brian Kelly story in a second, but I just wanted to tell you, it's not just that Kirk Cousins is making $45 million a year, also has a no trade clause. No trade clause on Kirk Cousins. Which is more offensive? Cousins making that or Brian Kelly gets $58 million to go away. So what is the actual numbers? If 53, 54, or 58, I've heard it argued about, but this is the second time this season. I asked the question when James Franklin was fired. I said, how many coaches can be fired in college football, and it will break into your Sunday afternoon professional NFL viewing the news?

And Brian Kelly is another one now that when those people started meeting, the important decision makers at LSU, he's 34 and 14 at LSU. I don't know what LSU expected to be, but 34 and 14 is unacceptable to them. because they've lost three of their last four games in the SEC. And the last one that you were at and Lucy was at was particularly embarrassing because now Mike Elko is better than you. Comes into your house with a 7-0-0 team and he's now 8-0. He empties your stadium at night when Death Valley is supposed to be scary at night and it's empty late in that game because everyone has left.

They were so overwhelmed the whole game. Like even at halftime when LSU was ahead, 18 to 14, 11 points came directly from mistakes from Texas A&M. Like A&M dominated the first half as well. The score wasn't indicative. And then the second half was super embarrassing. And like usual in this spot, you get the Brian Kelly clips where it's everyone else's fault. He's yelling at everyone else.

There's this one clip where after a big punt return by Texas A&M, Brian Kelly, you can read his lips. He tells the special teams coach, this is going to cost you your effing job. Can you imagine your coach tells you that during the game? This is going to cost you your effing job. Like, how does that help anyone in the middle of the game to threaten another coach with his job? So Brian Kelly gets let go, and I think I'm still allowed to be surprised by that midseason. am I not? Even with what I thought was a $53 million buyout, I don't know if it's $53 or $58 million,

but now to make him go away when you stole him from Notre Dame, like that was a sound heard around sports. Notre Dame just got its coach stolen. It came out of nowhere, right? It was a shocker. By an SEC team that is telling you it's announcing to the world, we're serious about football. And four years later, after- Because people weren't clear on that before. after four years and going 34 and 14, the standard at LSU is, nope, we win championships with Ed Orgeron, we win champions, championships with less miles, we are the school that started Nick Sabin, 34 and 14's not good enough.

Yeah, yeah, all three of the previous coaches that you mentioned, all won national championships. And Brian Kelly can never beat the good team. So, yeah, like 34 and 14, okay, but that's not the standard. school. Yeah, I mean, there is perspective. Like, wait, what are we doing through a coach that wins you 10 games basically every year? But this felt like a bad fit from the jump. This was odd. It was a strange hiring. He has that weird appearance at the basketball game where he talks about his family. And it's just weird vibes the entire time. Angry, no accountability, always someone else's fault. Now, that has always been Brian Kelly, but success usually follows And this wasn't the level of success that they had.

They're in credit to LSU for realizing there is no evidence here that he is the guy to turn it around. And if you're one of these other schools that's kind of like, what do we do? A Wisconsin or an FSU? It's like, are we in or we out? You guys are seeing you're like the seventh, eighth best jobs available now. I do wonder for schools like that, you mentioned Wisconsin, you mention FSU. With all these other schools with the job openings, Penn State, Florida, LSU now. It's crazy.

I wonder, though, if those schools like, yeah, we don't like our coach, but this is not the year to fire him because there are other jobs that are going to come before, like FSU may have to keep Norville, Wisconsin may have to keep Luke Fickle, even if they don't want because, yeah, we're not going to be able to get anyone this year. Let's close the Brian Kelly file then at Notre Dame, or I'm sorry, at LSU because all I remember is the funny things, the awkward things, the things that were a note off. So let's first play the sound that Mike Ryan just mentioned about him showing. up in LSU all of a sudden with a Cajun accent.

It's a great night to be a tiger. I'm here with my family and we are so excited to be in the great state of Louisiana. But more importantly, to be with you great fans. What a fraud. My family. It's a great not to be a toggle. But the fact that he's a fraud doesn't dismiss the fact that the impatience in college football right now is absolutely ridiculous. The buyout total of coaches prematurely fired is over 200 million now.

Over 200 million in rising. I think it's bad for the sport. I think it's ridiculous. Have a little patience. I mean, you've got a guy who's got a career, great record. Give him a chance. Did you hear Nick Sabin and Kirk Herbstree go on about this at college game day now? It was actually, Sabin did the predictable thing, but he did provide a little bit of color. They debated whether or not these boosters that give so much money to these programs. should have so much influence on the direction of the programs. And maybe some of these guys are firing coaches a little too soon. Yes, they should.

It's like an owner in the pros. This is a pro sport. Like the people who have the money that are helping you get the kids have influence. That's how it works. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. Should the person who pays for everything have a say? Yeah, I love how coaches and legacy media people in college football are like, wait a second. That's going too for.

What? Money has power? Let me clutch my pearls. What? Just take a look at the White House. Wait a second, what? Why is it bad for the sport, Greg? It's just, there's an upheaval in the sport right now

that just doesn't seem fair to me. I don't mind coaching changes in mid-season, but does your coach deserve it? Well, which one of these firings, these high-profile findings, do you think were unfair? I think Penn State fired Franklin prematurely. It's a pretty long resume of not being able to win a big game. He was in the charge.

championship game last year. Well, pretty soon. Like, there were like four years of conversations as a time to get rid of James Franklin. Like, they showed an astonishing patient. He's here for 10 years. What is, when I say one of the most amazing stats in sports is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have only had three coaches. What is the average lifespan? I don't know the answer to the question I'm asking, but the average lifespan for an NFL coach. Because what this is is merely the professionalization of. of this sport. I don't think it's bad for this sport for it to go professional. I think

college football was more interesting this weekend and many weekends than pro football is. College football has done nothing but grow. The things that happen around college football have been very good for college football. Now, it's not good for amateurism or the illusion of amateurism, but we've buried that day. It's professional sports now, and these coaches are being treated like NFL coaches, most of whom I would guess don't get for years. Now, In the pros, though, 34 and 14 doesn't get you fired. No, you're like the best. Oh, of course. Right.

Between three and a half and four years appears to be the average of the NFL. 69 games. And now, by the way, Mike Tomlin's under a little bit of pressure in Pittsburgh. So no coach is immune from this, but I think it's accelerated and exaggerated in college football. And I look at it from a personal standpoint. Did James Franklin deserve to be fired? Now, you can argue yes. Yes.

You might be in the majority. But I would argue, no. I think when you did what he did last season, overall, a very good year, and you're a few games into the next season, and you're already pulling the trigger on getting rid of this guy, I think that's premature.

Dan Levatard. I'm going to get some golf ASMR. Stugats. Oh, fuck me. This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stucats. Well, I mean, what hurt James Franklin? You're right. that he did win playoff games last year.

He won two playoff games, as a matter of fact, but those two playoff games that they won, what hurt him was, it was SMU, and it was Boise State. Like, if you're playing a, at least one of those, once you get to power for, I understand SMU's power for, okay? So you get what I'm saying. But if one of them were a higher profile team, maybe the conversation's a little bit different.

Well, he's playing who he's scheduled to play. Well, but it's not, I would do this math. Put this on the poll as well, Juju, at Lebitard show. Does it matter more that you lost to? Northwestern than it does that you won two playoff games against SMU and Boise State. I think it does. Well, clearly

it did to Penn State because what got him fired was the last loss. I mean, it was cumulative, but what's happened to both these coaches, just so that you understand, I know James Franklin's record was, I'm losing it now, it was something like 34 and 8 or something, but

it's the last three of four that gets you gone. Like, it's not anything that happened before that. It's what made it the 14 at Brian Kelly's number because he lost three of the last four that he's lost. And they're like, okay, let's speed this up. But it's still shocking. Like, I'm not yet at a place where I'm so immune to the professionalization of college sports that I'm not shocked. That video, it feels like that was a couple of weeks ago, the video that we just showed of him.

That doesn't feel like it was four years ago that he was being introduced at LSU? You? James Franklin was 104 and 45 at Penn State. 34 and 8 over the previous three seasons before this year. Also, just while I have a second, I just want to say, like, I do support individual military personnel. He doesn't support the troops, Dan. No, I mean, I do. I do support troops. I do support troops.

Say the support truth. No, I do. Look, I'm not going to be deposed. While we're cleaning house, Dad, how are you doing after all that sodium? Well, speaking of the military, I can report right now that coffee does not go with all. It's just a mix. It's a combination that you don't want to be a part of. Trust me.

I'm going to be running to the bathroom like Richmond took Virginia. I like that. You guys just saw one of the greatest tricks in the Greg Cody playbook when he just wants to say what he wants to say and doesn't want to address anything that's been offered doing by the show. Speaking of the military, coffee. That was a ball of tether. Put it on the poll at Levitart Show.

Speaking of the military, do olives go with coffee? Yes or no. Let's just clean out the Brian Kelly file here earlier this season. He got very mad with a reporter. And I want to just play the sound again. This was recently. And I want to play the sound of him banging on a table. And these are the only Brian Kelly memories I have.

So play whichever one you want here. And we will play both of them and empty the Brian Kelly file. And we're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about the same things. It's pounding the death. Play that one again so I could just hear what sounds like cutlery flying off of the press conference table. And we're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about the same things. Now play him getting mad at a reporter. This was after a game they won. This was during happier times. what are you seeing with your offense stop really is that the first question we won the game 20 to 10

try another question what what do you want me to tell you i just laid it out for you we played the game to win the game we played the game to win the game all right how about third down then what is going on with third down it's one game we last game we were great on third down You're micro, you're looking at this from the wrong perspective. LSU won the football game. Won the game. I don't know what you want for me. What do you want?

You want us to win 70 to nothing against Florida to keep you happy? No, I think people want to know why you can't run the ball, quite honestly. We can run the ball. Did you see the last play of the game? That's all you need. You just need one. There's some ridiculous questions. And I'm getting tired of it.

that football team just worked their tail off to get an SEC win and you want to know what's wrong you know what you're spoiled you're spoiled this team is 17 and 1 at night 17 and 1 give them some respect how about that give him some respect instead of micro analyzing every little thing this is ridiculous for a group of of seasoned reporters that kind of question is So out of line. Wow. I want to believe with all of my heart that that belittled reporter worked behind the scenes to get Brian Kelly fired. I believe it happened. I can relate to the saying micro and then that pause of like searching for the word you're actually looking for. Stop micro analyzing everything. He circled back around and made sure that he got that word on the back end.

Also, no longer 17 and 1 at night. They pride themselves, Zaslo can say, having been there. It was my first time there this weekend. Yeah. They pride themselves on being a very difficult place to play at night. I remember the first time I learned it. The University of Miami went there, and they had a tiger in a cage outside of the hurricane locker room. They put it there, and the hurricanes were sticking their hands in the cage, and then 1.44 to 3.

That the nighttime LSU feeling is something they take pride in. He got fired because he lost that way at night. Yeah, Saturday night in Death Valley. Like, that's their thing. And yeah, it was really loud. I was on the field, Greg. I had a field pass for the game. And it was, especially in the first half, they made cool plays.

They interception in the end zone. They got a block punt for a safety. Place is very, very loud. But Texas, they didn't care. Did you speak with Mike the Tiger or no? No, we actually went to go visit Mike the Tiger. Homeboy was hiding. Didn't want to come out.

Didn't get to see him. Him and his team. Whatever, man. You see any cool celebrities on the sideline? Shack. Yeah, I was standing right behind. What do you say? What did he say?

That's a bad job by you. Why would you stand right behind? Well, man, like I was off the side. But I'll tell you, man, there's like his whole crowd of people who are standing on the sidelines watching the game. Shack just sees over everyone. Yeah. Yeah. Like, no one ever blocks his view.

He sees, there's a lot of people saying, oh, you're trying to see what's going on. And Shack, he just gets to stand there, unobstructed. Do you realize, though, when you say you're standing behind Shack, I could cover the entirety of the earth and find maybe like Yao Ming in terms of humans throughout the entirety of earth that would be the worst to stand behind trying to see something shack has to be at the very top of the list but there were people in front of shack too but it doesn't matter he it's an unobstructed view he just gets to stand there and never has to tell anyone in front of him to sit down would you hear what he was mumbling or no no no he was just he was chilling watching the

What did he say? He tried to say Wembenyama, but his father wasn't listening, and then he started leaking confidence. Yeah, but Wembenyama is a few inches taller, but he's not like a refrigerator like Shack is. It is a pretty special place that Brian Kelly occupies. We're like no one thinks he should have stayed. You can't find an ally in the media. It feels also like everyone universally believes he's a massive jerk. Yeah, everyone's pretty happy about this.

Pretty pumped. You know, someone died in South Bend. He is a jerk, but will he get another job quick? Hell yeah. I don't know. You think so? I don't know. Somewhere.

Notre Dame should take a look at him if they lose Marcus Freeman. How great would that be? People don't like arrogance. It's sports fans especially, but they don't like unearned arrogance because Brian Kelly carries himself as if he's better than you and better than he actually is. And so to see it unmask, people take a delight in it. You can be a dick when you're winning national championships, right? Everybody's like, oh, okay, wow, he's the genius leader.

He's so tough. he sold this and that. But when you're 34 and 13, you get blown up by Mike Galcoe and Texas A&M, you're the dick now. Like, there's no genius behind it. Right. I mean, Bill Belichick was arrogant when he was winning and New England loved it. Let's cover here some college football in a second. But before we do that, I just wanted to talk for a moment in professional football,

which obviously all of us know, super dangerous, super violent. rare is the time though that you get what happened with scataboo yesterday where romo yells oh no jackson dart turns his back and won't look over there because the leg is so mangled the ankle is so broken and then the telecast says we're not going to show that again and that that's that telecast every other telecast that does show it does it with an assortment of warnings on the front end that tells you not to look. And there are two kinds of people on earth. The people who want to see that and the people who don't. Which are you? Because I am someone who doesn't. I have not yet seen the injury. Thank you for all the warnings. You haven't seen it, Dan? I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I still have not seen it. he was asking to be helped up initially at first, which is just, this guy's a psycho. He was trying to get ready for next play. It's insane.

It's a testament to how much people like him and like his style of play. You've got a standing ovation from Eagles fans. You know how likable you are if the Eagle fan is upset that you're leaving the game? Every football fan was super bummed because that is potentially a life-altering injury for a dude that was well on his way in that market to becoming a superstar. his personality to his style of play, to the novelty of him being white at that position. The guy had everything in front of him, and every kind of, every football fan led out the same kind of, damn, man.

I think with modern medicine, though, like, he's going to be back, he's going to be fine. Like, how many times have we seen, Dan, I know you haven't seen the injury, but like, Doc had that injury. Jack, Jordan Travis, like, all these injuries were- Jordan Travis is medically retired. Well, yes, okay, understood. But Dylan Gabriel. And it's not about speed with Scataboo.

It's more about toughness, so he'll probably be okay. we can't say that we can't know that it is a badly fractured ankle that in a sport where we all know how violent it is which are you the person who looks or the person who doesn't i was grateful for all the warnings i didn't want to see the slow motion replay i didn't uh look too closely at what happened to tyreek hill either because of how unpleasant that was not too closely but you looked well i couldn't avoid no no i Was it one eye? No, a little through fingers. Like two of a little the mirrors.

Good call by you. It looked in real time awful, and I didn't look at the slow motion stuff afterwards. Slow motion was worse. On Tyreek Hill. But when Mike says Philadelphia fans, not only did they boo Santa famously, when Michael Irvin was on the field and it looked like paralysis, not those fans, but Philly fans were cheering. Philly can be an unusual amount of cruel. Scataboo was the kind of story that it seemed everybody in football was enjoyed.

Yeah, they weren't cheering Irvin the way that they were cheering with Cam Scadaboo. It was different. They were happy Michael Irvin got hurt. Everybody was really bummed. And I think everyone knows. This guy was already being put on a launch pad to superstardom. And it sucks. He's a really fun player to watch.

When it comes to that sport, though, and very quietly last week, at least around here, I don't know what kind of reverberations they were nationally. But in the game the Giants played last week, you saw they got fined $315,000, an assortment of people got fine because Jackson Dart went into the tent for the concussion protocol and then Dayball went right in behind him. So did Dart.

And they went in, well, Jackson Dart went in the tent because he was the one that was concussed. Oh, excuse me, Scataboo also went in. Steve Martin followed them. It was weird that he got fine too. Steve Martin also got fine. it was weird. He had the arrow through his head. He was looking in. But they got fined $315,000 because it looked like the optics of it, that they were pressuring the doctor,

hey, get Jackson Dart back out here, and then Jackson Dart gets back out there. $350,000 is a good amount of money to find people here. But any national reverberations on that? Does anyone care? Everyone kind of just sort of understands, yes, of course they're going to try to get their quarterback back in the game, whether he's concussed. or not? No, that was different. That crossed the line, and that's why Dayball himself was fined $200,000 of that amount. Head coaches just don't do that. The NFL has really made a separation of church and state, so to speak, of football and medicine with that tent. And if you go in there for a concussion, it's supposed to be the doctors and the concussed player. It's not supposed

to be any personnel from the team. And the next time that happens, the head coach will be fine more than Dayball just was, because that's what the NFL does. They have a system of, all right, you know now that you're not supposed to do that. Next one, who does it? Get to find $500,000. I mean, it definitely went in there. Like Scataboo definitely went in this. Yo, dog, we need you.

Let's go. Come on. Get your helmet. I mean, that's definitely what happened in that spot. Right, for sure. But when the head coach does it, it's worse. Don Libetard. Surely, every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing, that she married.

She married Larry David. I do. Yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television. in my humble opinion and uh and to my credit uh my personality in my humble opinion followed by to my credit to my credit it's amazing my personality just amazing predate curve your enthusiasm stugats oh wow i'm not going to say larry david okay patterned himself after me all right put it on the poll please jud you did gregg cody copyright being an asshole long before

larry david this is the dan lebatar show with the stu gats The only other thing I took from that Giants' Eagles game is, again, the Tush Push was officiated poorly. They fumbled on it. Jalen Hertz fumbled, and the Giants should have had the ball, and these guys can't officiate that play. They don't know how to have. It's obvious. There's no other play in football, not pass interference, not anything that is as hard to officiate. as that play, given how many

times there are mistakes where we're all watching on television and where seven or eight times we've already been. The Eagles have done something illegal on that play and they're getting away with it. And in this case, they got away with a fumble. He absolutely stretched the ball as if he was over the goal line and it was absolutely

taken from him and they blew it it dead and they blew forward progress dead. But his forward progress was not forward. On that play, the forward progress is not ever dead. They could do it from their one yard line and end up in your end zone because they just keep pushing everybody. That's what I think maybe they're trying to, like I think that might be the correction

where they're trying to blow that play dead, the forward progress dead, as early as possible to take away some of that advantage that the Eagles have had because you're right, it can go on forever. That play not being called a fumble may end up hurting the Eagles long term. Like they might look back at that play and be like, we've got to get this out of here. It's too weird. Whereas if they call a fumble there, bad for the Eagles in the moment, might be better long-term for the Eagles and the rule.

The only football game from yesterday that I actually want to talk about is that Bengals Jets game, even though it was an absurd game for a lot of different reasons. But before I do that, I want to ask you guys from the college football weekend, what did you guys think was the most relevant thing from the weekend, given these choices, okay? Mike Ryan appears to be right on the SEC as a total fraud. like Texas, Alabama, laboring against Mississippi State and South Carolina and both of them getting fortunate to win those games.

Congratulations, Vanderbilt, for limping through the line winning by one score against a backup quarterback. You get to leapfrog a team that won by 35. Top 10. Vanderbilt ends up with a better team than I think they have ever had. No, they're a good team. Raked higher than Miami now. Yeah, but they should show you how bad the SEC is.

They're Vanderbilt. Well, oh, they beat Mazoo with their backup quarterback. Let's rank them ahead of Miami. Vanderbill will lose to Texas because that's the SEC, the ACC with a better publicist. And Missou, you know, is throwing a Hail Mary that's being stopped at the one-yard line. But you've got BYU is 8-0, okay? Georgia Tech. This is the best Georgia Tech team that I have seen, and I think they had a co-national champion.

Did they not? Did Georgia Tech not win a co-national championship? Do I have that wrong? I may have that wrong. But 8 and 0, they're 5 and 0 in the ACC for the first time. Haynes King is going to be at the Heisman ceremony and should be. He's a great college quarterback. So Georgia Tech is quietly 8.0.

Indiana appears to be legitimately very good. Texas A&M appears to be legitimately very good at a time that very few teams are very good. Dan, 1990 under Bobby Ross, they finished 11-0-1 and split the night. National Championship with Colorado. Bobby Ross. A long time ago. Ole Miss beats Oklahoma. Yeah, that probably is the one that stands out the most to me is Ole Miss. I mean, they bounce back, obviously, from a tough

loss last weekend in Athens, and Oklahoma's clearly not as good as people thought they were going to be. Oklahoma's probably done now, two losses last three weeks. But I think Ole Miss is a fun team. I think they're a fun story. I think Lane Kiffin's obviously a lot of fun. So Ole Miss winning that game on the road. That was probably the biggest thing. Are we not assuming, though, that Oklahoma is a fraud, at least in part, because Maneer hurt his hand. Mater, he hasn't looked the same since he rushed back from that injury.

Now, teams adjust. We've seen Miami kind of dip once people realize what they're doing. But this, I was so into this Ole Miss Oklahoma game because those teams are good football teams. Lane Kiffin kind of won this game with the presser at the start of the week, which is basically, oh, Venables is stealing signals. That's why their defense is so good. And Venables kind of took that one on the chin. And it's like, well, it's a testament to our preparation. I mean, didn't Robert Saul and Liam Cohen almost throw hands over that? Yeah, but Lane Kiffin, he knew how to get inside the heads of the opponent.

And we had this tremendous moment after the game where he's talking to David Stone, who comes up to him after the game to try to congratulate him. And Lane Kiffin's unlike any other coach in the sport right now. Coach Kiffin. Oh, are you talking a little bit to Oklahoma's players? This guy yelled at me like during the game like five times how great they were and we can't score on them. Who else can get away with that? That's great.

I mean, that seems to me like Lane Kiffin, because there was a time where this definitely was not true, Lane Kiffin must be super likable to these players because I think 99% of coaches who are going to do that right there on live television to a player who just lost a big game, it's not going to end the way that interaction just ended. There was a news tidbit that I saw, and I was kind of, I found it refreshing because Lane Kiffin, whose name is always in these job-searching rumor mills, he addressed it with his team beforehand, and he let all the reporters know, like, we're going to talk about the Penn State thing, the Florida thing, head on. This is a newer locker room, and these guys haven't been through it before, and use it as a testament to their program. And it was kind of cool to see him acknowledge it that way as opposed to some of these other coaches like Frayne Brown or even Marcus Freeman, who does a really good job of saying the right things. And his actions actually follow what he says, but they don't actually close the door on it. Lane Kiffin's not closing the door on any of these job rumors.

He has a very good agent, and at the very least he'll get a raise out of it. But he doesn't try to bullshit you with it or his players, and I really like that. It really is a perfect spot for Lane Kiffitt because he can say what he wants, do what. what he wants and exceed all expectations. Anytime he wins that game, it's a surprise because no one's actually expecting anything in the SEC. It is a perfect job

for Lane Kiffin to have, but I want to play all of that sound again, because I feel like you guys missed something, and this is largely a visual joke, but I want to show all of that again with Lane Kiffin and also remind you that he's allowing his social media staff to play around with this too, because

Ole Miss just sent out after that game. Sooner, try later, is what did on uh... that's well done via via tweet oh really okay let's see here sooner rather than later come on I want to show you guys

something funnier that I think that you missed here in this video go ahead and play that whole video again I think we missed something coach Kevin no quieter now than before oh are you talking a little bit to Oakland homeless players this guy yelled at me like during the game like five times

how great they were and we can't score on them I want you guys to look at why Oklahoma isn't what they used to be. It's right there in the middle. Who the hell's that guy? That guy right there is the reason that Oklahoma is no longer any good at football. It has to be a kicker. He is half the-the-ckel. What's Ethan doing on their sideline?

He is half the size of lame kiff. That's right finkle. How does that guy have better field access than Zaz? How is that possible that that guy, look at the size of that person. That person is not the kicker. That person is the kicking tea with a mustache. person is tiny. That is not Oklahoma football. I'm going to look up. What number does that look like? Forty-two, 43? Who is that fool?

You're going to look that up. Also, David Stone is huge. Let me see. But Lane Kiffin is not. Lane Kiffin is not huge, and that is a tiny person. Our Hampton Farms, Hampton Farms, Nuttiest Fan nominees, how many of those do we have this week, Christopher? Wow. It's the Nuddiest Fan brought to you by Hampton Farms. Get Nuddy with Hampton Farms. The official peanut of bowl season. Vote for your favorite nutty fan at Lebitart Show on Instagram. Dan, we have two nominees this week. We have a naked duck.

In the Oregon student section, we had the duck taking his shirt off, which made him completely nude. Luckily, he's kind of covering himself up with his right hand. But I think he... No, I think he is... I feel like I should be looking away. It does. Why does it feels so revealing? But it's not revealing because it seems like the duck does not.

not have genitalia. It seems like there's nothing. Dan, the way the ducks are set up, it's actually inside. Yeah. Okay, so it's true to form. And he is competing with an Indiana fan, an old man who is taking your shirt off seems to be the trend of the season. People like to take their shirt off, and this Indiana fan decide he saw the crew doing it.

He's like, I'm in. Let's do it. And he whipped off his shirt. And it's an old man shirtless. What's better than that? It's harassment. He doesn't seem to be doing it. Somebody's like making him do it.

I love that energy. Chris, we've done this before, but show me your belly button. That's a pretty good build for an old man. That's a pretty good build? Yeah, that's not bad. Good for you, old man. I wish I had that look in the mirror. I'll tell you that. I feel like you do have that look in the mirror. All right, you ask for it. Take your shirt. I feel like that's exactly your look in the mirror.

I feel like he's got the same belly as you, a little bit swollen, probably drinks a little too much beer, a bit of a beer belly. Oh, and I don't? It looks great. No, I think you and him have similar builds. It's true. We're both pasty and old-looking. That's true. Yeah, I've just got a little bit more gut. He's got the little flap over the belt there. I like that. Well done, sir. Well done. It feels like your entire body is wrapped too tightly in sausage casing. Yeah, that's fair. Not unlike him.

That's fair. Well, in Greg's defense, the nine olives today don't really help. The sodium intake makes you kind of bloated. I tell you what? Between that and the bacon I had earlier, I'm on sodium high right now. coffee doesn't mix. It's tough for you. Plus, I got extra caffeine. I'm drinking extra caffeine coffee lately. Quick addendum. Get me all jacked up. What?

I didn't mean Dylan Gabriel. I meant McKenzie Milton, by the way. Wrong Hawaiian quarterback. You drink four cups a day. Why would you up the caffeine? You know, it says natural high, you know. I'm not a dope fiend. I need a natural high. Good. People were wondering if you may have been a dope fiend. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story

truly began. In 1795, Cuervo, Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says Quervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Sweet, delicious, quervo. Since then, Quervo is 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.
