Starting point is 00:00:33 and every pack tells a story, with rare finds, fan favorites, and exclusive prizes. Ready to score big, start collecting today, only at Tim's, a participating in Canada for a limited time. Welcome to the Big Sui, 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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. Tony's top five is around the corner.
Starting point is 00:01:25 last time he went out there. He injured himself and he said he was bringing litigation. I don't understand. I didn't tell him to do any of that. I thought it was a bit try hard, but I appreciated that he was doing it for us. But I didn't ask him to do any of it. And now he's suing the company and suing me because he's injured. And now he's out back on the road again. Where is he today? Where's litigation right now? I know he's out in the field. I think it's a surprise. So we'll find out together. Can we make that a class action or? Well, what would you be getting in on?
Starting point is 00:01:58 Psychological and emotional damage. From what? What, Billy did you that for a segment? From what's happened for about the last three and a half years? Okay. Your love of baseball is nice, and I hope that someday before the end of these playoffs, we stop segregating it. Because I really, the Vlad Guerrero story is so cool. To have him topple this team while Aaron judged, like, he's at the top of whatever the sports mountain is, slugging it out for their cities with, like, O-Ton.
Starting point is 00:02:24 over here who's got Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman behind him. It's like it's an unbelievable time in baseball if you've cared about the history of that sport. When the Blue Jays aren't even playing with a Dante Bichette's kid, he's not even in this series because the Blue Jays are loaded too and Guerrero really hates the Yankees. Like he really wants to beat them. Whatever happened to Beggio's kid, kind of flamed out. That stinks. Mike, are the kids or the sons getting you interested in baseball?
Starting point is 00:02:50 I'm taking a look at the Mets. I don't care. Big Dumber. Bro, what about Big Dumber? He hit it to a guy who said, dump it on the second TV. Dumping it. Hockey started yesterday. Jeremy, aren't a lot of fans wearing a dumper shirt?
Starting point is 00:03:04 Like, I feel like the odds of a fan who's wearing a dumper shirt. Did you see the shirt? Yeah, I did. He created it himself with his own cricket at home, and it said dump it here, and it had 61 on the front for the 61st home run. And then after that, he took it off and underneath that dump 62. Now that's cool. had both.
Starting point is 00:03:24 All right. It was sitting there in left field to have to hit it opposite field and go. I mean, guys, baseball, please. I'll be locked in the championship series, I think. I don't know. Maybe, that don't count on me. But maybe the world, I don't know. That fan must have been mocked by all his friends.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Like, dude, you think you're going to get a home run ball? And then you think you're going to get another one and then look at him. Look at this guy. Has there been a worse nickname than dump? Like a big dumper? Yeah, like a nickname that's less appealing. That's a bad take. It's a great nickname.
Starting point is 00:03:52 No, it's a, look. It's a fun nickname to say, but if I'm the guy they're calling the big dumper, I don't know if I like that. Because he's got a great ass. You know that's why we're doing here, right? Yes, he's a catcher. Yeah, I've seen better. Is there a catcher with a badass? He's got an overrated ass.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I mean, look at a photo. Yeah, Greg's right, overrated ass. And his dad's ass is horrific. Let me see that thing. Let me see that photo of that ass. Really? That's what we're doing? No, I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Let's pause until we see it. It's an average ass. You know what? There was a catcher with a bad ass. Who? Paul Baco. I believe it. Havi Lopez didn't have a great ass.
Starting point is 00:04:26 In the right angle. I would also say, like, this whole, like, take off your shirt, 61, 62, like, that moment's done. This is a postseason. The stats reset. That's not a home run number 62. Like, enough of, like, this made-up history where we're rewarding Aaron Judge for doing, like, as the kids say, mid-things, okay? No, Baco is a friggin, that's a blanche. Yeah, that's an ironing board right there.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Baco. Yeah, you need an ass, like, big dumpers. Has it even possible to not have a good butt as a catcher? I want my catcher to be a pug. Pudge had a good one, right, Dan? Yes, for sure. There you go. The catcher, I mean, the hips are wide open, and they have a lot.
Starting point is 00:05:05 The lower body strength of these human beings is this guy says, because the big dumper is saying, be prepared with shirts 62 and 63 for game four. Like, you've got a legitimate swaggerer over in Seattle who's coming to also try and topple the Yankees. And we can't do anything to get Mike interested in this. as like a catcher for all times who's hitting more home runs than have ever been hit
Starting point is 00:05:27 a non-steroid division. No, no, I mean, I'll certainly make time for the M's if they advance. I have it on the second screen. I don't know how to pronounce anybody's names. I did find it weird that you thought Julio Rodriguez was 32, but I'm like, I barely follow this. 24 years old. That was weird.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Dan definitely said 32, no one else. He said it with conviction, and so did you. And I was very confused by it. Yes, I thought we were doing a bit where we were making the old guy, The young guy old because the catcher's the new hot thing in town after they'd already tired of their Latino Ken Griffey Jr. J. Rod, who went over five in this, by the way.
Starting point is 00:06:04 He's been surpassed as a star in his city. He was supposed to be the star of these champion mariners. He's not. Their catcher is. The catcher took the team from it. It's amazing. And they have Randy a Rosa Rana. If you think you're family.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You kind of did that. I don't, look, I can't speak with conviction. I'm a know it all, but I know I know nothing about this. So I'm enjoying you guys informing me. Remember that class action I was talking about? All right. So I want to bring in Greg on something here because I meant to say this a couple of days ago. If we're going to cover football and sports in this silly of a fashion, it is pretty interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:36 When the Arizona Cardinals have a loss for all times, like one of the great debacles ever seen in the history of the sport, and they all pride themselves as like being these military units of precision on Sundays, Arizona's clown show. That game they lost is impossible to lose. you play it a thousand times, you're supposed to win it a thousand times. They drop a ball in the end zone that would have put them up 28 to 6. And afterward, a coach that I made fun of two weeks ago because you can't win with the top Jonathan unless it's Ogden or unless it's Taylor. But if he's going to go Jonathan, it's a Gannon.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And he was a total stoic. He's one of these robots. Look, I got Kyler Murray. We busted on Josh Rosen. We got out of that quick. It burned up Kingsbury. I'm one of these boy children who's trying to be. the next McVeigh, stoic, stoic, stoic, stoic.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Like that guy has lost games, that team's pretty talented, but all close with games. You never see anything from this guy's face. And then his running back flips away a casual touchdown, and this guy puts his hands on the player on the sidelines while yelling at him. When I just told you two weeks ago, this guy seems to show no emotion ever. He seems almost robotically principled about, I'm in control here. there's nothing that can happen in this game that can affect me right until my running back's a dumbass and then I get enraged and want to punch him on the sidelines.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Yeah, he's allowed to do that in my opinion. Whoa! Yes, he's allowed. You got fined $100,000. The boy child? The boy child did. Dan, when you said he's one of these boy children. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:08:11 Were you thinking, was your very next thought, like, I hope no one ceases on this, that does sound weird. Yes, I meant to say. Boy children. I wrote it down. I meant to say. He's one of these boy children. Child wonder is what I meant. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Child wonder. So I'm glad we were right to seize on that, right? I think the phrase is boy wonder, not child wonder. Okay. So you know what my point was? One of these young masterminds on offense that's going to make Kyler Murray championship good. Well, he's a defensive guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:39 He's that type of boy child. Okay, here's the thing. We're talking about football here, okay? Sort of a rough sport. I don't know how you guys follow the game, how closely. We're talking about a sport where you literally hit each other. You're allowed to punch the ball out of somebody's arms. And we're worried about somebody laying hands on somebody?
Starting point is 00:08:58 Laying hands. Do you think he hurt the running back? Dude, I don't think so. You cannot defend that. You cannot defend it. A hundred thousand dollar fine for that. He struck a coworker. He struck like his player.
Starting point is 00:09:10 That was a bad look. And honestly, like, ESPN did a bad job covering this. They did a bad job. Like, it was only until like after the fine was. levy, did they start talking about it? Because this video was out there. Jonathan Gannon gave people license to discuss this. He was sorry, as he should be. Because he said that he hadn't seen the clip, which is BS. But we can have sound from his press conference. Let Jonathan Gannon speak for himself. Because I do think he had a fair amount of contrition because this is not just
Starting point is 00:09:40 a bad look, honestly, should have been considered as a fireable offense. Not just losing that game, but striking a player that viciously, that was not, he slapped the guy on the arm. I think he struck him pretty hard. I mean, DiMarcato's a big back and his body gets pushback, but let's have Jonathan Gannon speak for himself, the boy child. I didn't see the video, David, but yeah, I actually, I woke up this morning and didn't feel great about it, honestly. And so on the team meeting, I addressed it. I apologized to Omar, apologized to the team. And I just told them I kind of let the moment of what happened get the better of me there. Obviously, like, I try to be emotionally stable and calm because my job is to solve problems during a game and kind of lead the charge on that.
Starting point is 00:10:36 So it's not really who I am, who I want to be. And I told the guys that today. So it's a mistake by me, and it's just like everybody in there, everybody made. made some type of mistake yesterday, which is, you know, calm and a as to why we didn't win the game. Oh, no. And we can't let it happen moving forward. He just blamed DeMarcato again for being on the receiving end of being struck.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I love how he's like, I didn't see the video. Yeah. But I just woke up. I didn't feel right. He should have been called into the owner's office. That was such a bad look. Number one, losing the game is terrible. That's a just a terrible job out of him.
Starting point is 00:11:15 When we go a step further, though, hold on. Just, I mean, come on. Because bad luck is such a swipe that doesn't even mean anything anymore. It really doesn't. Oh, bad luck. It means nothing. This person who's in charge, who I just two weeks ago, I'm watching these boy children who lead these men into battle,
Starting point is 00:11:35 and I pointed out two weeks ago, this is like the most stoic of the dudes. This is like Bud Grant. This guy shows no emotion. It is calamity out there every weekend. with that team because his quarterback's a lunatic who just runs from side to side trying to get away from coverage and does it, you know, does it pretty well but isn't good enough and is going to get ground up physically by what it is to play for that organization.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That guy put his hands on his running back because he's like, you jackass, it's all our futures. What are you doing flipping the ball there? We had the game won. Of course he's enraged. Of course he's emotional. And of course he's got to be better than that. He's allowed the frustration, in my opinion. And he said what he had to say, you have have to do the rote apology because there's a lot of people like Mike who are saying that's a fireable offense. I could not disagree more. I understand being super upset with Demarcato in that situation. I understand getting in his face. I'll even abide by a little face mask tug. But to strike an individual, if that happens in any other workplace, the person is possibly
Starting point is 00:12:39 fired on the spot. Wait a minute. So you'll allow a facel max tug, but not a slap on the arm. He said a slight tug. We're not talking about 15 yards here. We're talking about the old school five-yard penalty. Okay, do you think the big running back was injured by that slap on the other? DeMarcato on the sideline was despondent. And should have been. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:00 It's not like he was over there all smiles. Like, there's no reason to justify it. And Gannon's apology was good up until the point he decided to blame DeMarcato again. Because the guy was full of blame for what he did. There's certain things in sports that you can't do because they're totally. totally within your control. You can't do that because you're showboating and causing your team a touchdown and a victory. That would be the, that's the football equivalent of hitting the game winning grand slam and having it not count because you forgot to touch first base. You just
Starting point is 00:13:30 cannot do that. And if I'm the coach of the manager and my player does that, I'm going to be frustrated, I'm going to be angry, and I have a right to be. All right, folks, let me be honest here. I've never been a great wellness routine guy. I'm going to be honest. My mornings are usually filled with iced tea, panic, with a side of vibes. But lately, I've started doing something that makes me feel like I have my life together. It's called AG1. It's a clinically studied daily health drink that combines multivitamin, probiotic, and a blend of superfoods into one scoop. One scoop, add water, and give it a good shake. And suddenly, I'm getting 75 plus vitamins, minerals, and whole food source ingredients without thinking about it. My gut thanks me. My
Starting point is 00:14:08 nutrient levels thank me, and honestly, my breakfast burrito doesn't get in the way. This episode is sponsored by AG1, but here's the thing. I actually use it. Every morning, it's become the super easy habit that keeps me consistent, no guessing, no juggling a bunch of bottles, just one scoop and done. AG1 promotes a relaxed, calm feeling that helps me bounce back from the daily stress of being the EP of the Lebitard show. So yeah, I use AG1 every day, and you should too.

Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal. Hey, Mike. I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Light.

And it's been around for 50 years. And they've been a part of our show for almost 20. We're approaching incredible partner status with Miller. I mean, to think that people were celebrating at my bar mitzvah with Miller Light as they were a partner of this show is pretty incredible. You're talking about the moments that are made better by making those times, those special times, Miller Time.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Jeremy, there's nothing like cracking open Miller Light with your crew. This football season, it's especially true. Whether it's a touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups, you already know you're going to lose.

Time to throw away all journalistic credibility and get reckless. Here is something we like to call reckless speculation. You're good.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Thank you. He's kicked a dog. Well, I mean, come on. You don't know that. Come on. That is kick a dog energy. That is kick a dog energy. But we don't know that it actually has occurred. That is a bad dog. Kick a dog energy. That is a, that's worse than a bad look. It's worse than a bad look. You cannot tell me that's not kick a dog energy.
Starting point is 00:17:26 KDE. I have a question, Greg. So, Demarcato's 5-9 and Gannon is six feet. I guess this is a question for Mike, too. If it was opposites, if Gannon was 5-9 and Demarcato, was six feet would it change things it's the employer dynamic yeah I mean no I I agree with that situation where it's the because like then you start talking about draymond green punching teammates it's like that's sports that happens right
Starting point is 00:17:50 but here's there's like the boss employee situation but if their body types were different would it would have changed things I mean DiMarcano's got some biceps to him this is not an office where this happens and you call HR what I mean this is a violent sport and And the idea of a coach barely slapping a player's arm. That wasn't barely. That wasn't barely. I think the issue that I and many other people, like me, Snowflakes, took issue with was the fact that it wasn't just a little slap on the arm.
Starting point is 00:18:23 That was, he struck the man. He gave him a Rick Flair chop across his chest. I've seen, I've seen Chris and his father wrestle. Greg will get grabby with the elbows. Greg is not above saying publicly to all who will listen. I'm fine with striking a man. That's it. He's like, I'll break your arm off.
Starting point is 00:18:43 He's what you'll say to him. Oh, I mean, I'm kidding when I say it. Are you? I'll rip your fingers off. Sure. No, I, look, Greg can be a violent man when he raged. No, I can't be a violent man. Chris.
Starting point is 00:18:53 His car's the wrong color. I mean, I'll bet you're off. Okay. That's fair. Call her lean. I want to find out how she feels about this shitty Corvette. Did you just eat that for like three years or whatever? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You just drove around a car you didn't like for how many years? I mean, I grew to like it. You know, it was a nice car. It was my first one. I was thrilled to have it, you know, but, you know. The last time a head coach, the last time a head coach struck a player that I can recall was Bruce Ariens. And I think the media held him accountable there. Oh, my God, did I shriek to the heavens?
Starting point is 00:19:27 Yeah, I mean, it's not something you see often because it's wrong. Didn't Mike Singletary show his wiener to his team one time in a motivation? There was a different time. It was fun. No, it was his front. It wasn't his back. It was his front. He said, look at these.
Starting point is 00:19:42 You guys don't have a pair of these or something like that. Yes, I'm pretty sure it was. It was his back. I'm going to look it up. It was a crazy story. I think it was his front. He said, you guys don't have a pair of these. Billy, it was Palm Beach.
Starting point is 00:19:55 It was the 90s. The key was he didn't strike anybody with the penis, apparently. Because if you... That would have been the line for you. Lay hands on somebody. What happened to? the great Bobby Knight. Oh, my God. I laid a hand on a player. Yeah. Come on. I get why the league
Starting point is 00:20:08 instituted this fine. I get why the league find them. The league has to do that. They have to be politically correct. They got to do all that stuff. I guarantee, I guarantee you that most Cardinal fans are like, yeah, I'd have hit that guy too. This is not a Newsmax, like engagement
Starting point is 00:20:26 story. It's not, it's not PC culture. It's not the softening of America. It's bad. I think we have consensus. You watched that video. Head coach should not be doing that to players. Most fans would have hit him too? Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:20:43 He needlessly and carelessly and with full of ego. That was a touchdown. Cost his team a touchdown. It was a touchdown. The ball is ahead of the foot. The foot is clearly on the line. That's the other part. Touchdown.
Starting point is 00:20:57 The other part is the whole league got it wrong. Look, if you want to go macro on this, this is flatly crows. rule here, okay? The place we've arrived with dehumanization of these athletes, with our fantasy leagues and our addictions to all the action. This dude was shamed upon this happening. America's laughter fell upon him. That must be a mental health crisis. And his coach was not an ally or helpful there because Greg says he's right to be enraged because all of America was, you careless fool, you idiot. I just learned who you were. And what I know now is you're an idiot. You cost your team.
Starting point is 00:21:30 One of the most epic collapse I've seen this century. I'm not kidding you when I tell you that the way that game was lost, that Cam Ward throwing an interception that ends up being the biggest touchdown of his game-winning career in the pros. Because Arizona kept giving the ball back. Arizona became a source of national shame, a regional team for so long. Kyla Murray can't pull him out of it. They're a regional team. That team fights to be 500.
Starting point is 00:21:58 every year and threw away a football game yesterday and the face of that the face of that is a guy who's lame name we all learned together and I wondered if he was Hispanic and then I and then I'm like this guy is going to get a buried in America's laughing at you wow that feels shitty and there's your coach to tell you just how shitty you are and now he struck you like yeah we'll be liberal and saying oh that's so like come on toughen up America but like our cruelty is slapping this kid in the face Like he cares about his job. I hate that we're at a place where like someone's labeled soft for saying you shouldn't be doing that. It's obvious to the eye that a head coach should not be doing that.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Any workplace that's not okay. And I understand the NFL is not just any workplace. There's a reason why we're talking about it. There's a reason why there's film of it. There's a reason why he got fined $100,000 because it is consensus. We have everybody agreeing here shouldn't have done it. No, Greg's not agreeing with that. Look, I'm fine acknowledging that it's not something that you want to see out of your head coach.
Starting point is 00:23:05 He was right to apologize. Maybe the league was right to fine him, although it's a slap on the wrist, a token fine. That's not the phrasing you want to use. $100,000 is not a small fine. Right. No, it's not even just that it's fine. Guys, to make this go away, you have to make it look punitive as if you know that it's bad. But it's only not as bad as it should be because everyone's yawning.
Starting point is 00:23:27 and doing what Greg's doing. Look, he's in charge, he's allowed to be frustrated. The dude was an idiot. What difference does it make if the boss hits him? But I'm just, the part I'm laughing at is, I've mentioned the demeanor of a head coach in the NFL how many times with us doing this history of the sport when I'm telling you that Tom Coughlin's not helping the kicker
Starting point is 00:23:47 when the kickers miss the field goal in Green Bay, and the whole giant's building falls on the kicker, and Coughlin yells at him because he's not disciplined to make a kick in the snow. We've allowed this in football so that the guy in charge is in such power that, of course, he could hit the employee, and Greg would yawn, and it would be $100,000, and we'd say that's a lot, but it's not enough. This guy's job is to make sure that those players feel like they are allies,
Starting point is 00:24:14 protected with him, by him. Like, you're not going to come touch me, coach, not unless you're willing for me to touch you back. I cannot believe he took the opportunity to blame DiMarcato again. He apologizes. At the end, he's just like, well, we all made mistakes. made a lot of mistakes were made in that situation. We all made it. That's, that sucked. He broke the plane. He shouldn't, he didn't make a mistake. He scored a touchdown. He saved your
Starting point is 00:24:35 bacon with a huge run. I still don't get it. Major KDE. Maybe it was a bad call by the officiating, but that's off point here. For the record, I never called the running back an idiot. Okay. I called him careless. No, but I'm just saying that's what America is doing. You might be more careful with your language, but what I'm saying is it must really stink to be the face of failure on a on the run of your life because you're it's a 70 year run they're hard to get the big place in that sport you've had three touchdowns in your career this is a big moment from you for you and it turns like that into you're the one everyone in the sport is laughing at today right for being careless with the one o'clock games with the one o'clock game stunk and your game was
Starting point is 00:25:18 interesting and you threw a get you we all paid attention on sunday you were one of the big stories because you fool yeah all of that athletes on failing teams talk about we have to have accountability, right? That's like a mantra in sports, especially in football, I think. And so this is a matter of that. You have to take accountability. You effed up majorly, okay? And yes, majorly is a word. No one disagrees with any of that. Okay, so when you do F up, you can't feel that surprise when your teammate yells at you and admonishes you on the sideline. Yeah, okay. But teammates do that too.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I don't think he's surprised. I think by that, I think he's surprised by getting struck. Yeah. No, that we don't see it all that often. And for all the macho attributes who want to apply to this sport, I remember when coaches do this because it's a rare sight. Because not just as a rare sight, it's a really bad look. It's super unprofessional.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Okay. Bad looks doing so much work there. Why don't we call it what it is, guys? You cannot have the one. white authority figure putting his hands on. I don't want to make this. There we go. It's a power dynamic thing more than a race.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Even if he was a white player, it'd be a problem. NFL HR would be so wild, honestly, if like Monday, it's like, okay, if you have any HR complaints about this weekend call, and it's like, when I was at the bottom of that dog pile, what's finger when... It's such a good... Wait, what? Hold on a second. Do you know which number, what color was the jersey of the opposing player?
Starting point is 00:26:49 Like, made me feel really uncomfortable when number 72 from the other team touched my... And then I was like... please stop doing that, sir, and then he tried to swing and punched, tried to, told me he tried to punch at the ball, and instead he punched me in the head, and it made me feel really inadequate at the time. There you go. NFL HR. I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I, by the way, was trying to clear up some misrememberings earlier on the Mike Singletary situation. So Mike Singletary in October of 2008 was the interim head coach of the 49ers, and they were down 20 to 3 to the Seattle Seahawks. So he decided as the interim head coach. What year is it? 2008. October 2008 is the interim head coach. Early interim head coach, but October's early for an interim head coach.
Starting point is 00:27:35 But jar my memory here. So this is, so Mike Singletary is being given one of these Jeff Saturday jobs before he's actually qualified. He's done some assistant head coaching, but he's the emotional leader of the 49ers. And he is their coach. And he's embroiled in what? He's the interim head coach is October 2008. they were losing 20 to 3 to the Seahawks and he decided to drop his pants
Starting point is 00:27:58 during the halftime speech to motivate the team to express to them that they were getting their tails whipped unclear as to whether or not Mike Singletary has a tail but he decided to drop his pants for visual age. Now their speculation ranges from he was in his
Starting point is 00:28:14 boxers to he mooned the team. No there was not speculation. This was stronger than speculation of the time. This was before the insiders. Okay, I will say this. I went to the ESPN article from October 30th, 2008, which was written by John Clayton. And at the top, there is a note saying this story has been corrected because there were various rumors going around as to what the extent of his pant dropping entailed. So then I did a follow-up Google search, which was, did Mike Singletary show his penis to his team? And then Google AI says, no, that claim that Mike Singletary showed his penis to his team is categorically false and a baseless rumor. All right, Pablo, find out, please. I remember this.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Maybe butt, maybe tail. I thought it was reported. He mooned his team. What a boner. I mean, the mistake by Singletary. Get it? You know, it was just a bad mistake he made. Thank you, Billy, for the helpful aid of this.
Starting point is 00:29:09 What a boner. Yes, it was a boner. That's correct. Thank you. NFL fans, what's your favorite touchdown? For me, it's the next one.

And the young kids are out at the gym right now trying to, Tony wants in on his football conversation. This is his moment to shine, and we've had him sitting around for 30 minutes. He's in one of our, oh, our gym's lovely here at the Elser.
Starting point is 00:31:06 This is a good gym. This is one of, I mean, I think I can say it. This is one of the better gyms you will find anywhere in Miami. Great, great for you in that gym.

Starting point is 00:31:27 Oh, well, can we talk about that or no? Can we talk about the presidential library? You want to talk about it right now? He's going to be speaking. Yeah, Tony, what are your thoughts? I'll say you in a couple of weeks. Yeah, so. My thoughts are, let's get to the top five.
Starting point is 00:31:42 We've got right next to us, Tony. Tony, you were just at, Tony, didn't you just go to Freedom Tower with my dad? Didn't you just do that? Yes. I did. It was lovely. It was cool to see somebody who had been there and walk back in. Your dad's face for the first time when we saw like the grand hall where he walked in was unreal.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Something I'll never forget, Dan. So thank you for that actually. Did you scout that locale next door? Nice little plot. I took a look. I took a look. Yeah. Why are you talking about this in such cryptic terms?
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's going to make a great library slash hotel slash casino. All right. So you guys need to watch last week tonight. on presidential libraries, and what an amazing griff that is, and the land next to us, right between us and the Freedom Tower. How do you like the setup tone? As Tony, as Tony sues the company, I think... You would.
Starting point is 00:32:32 The view right now is of Freedom Tower, or are you on the other side of the gym? The gym's two stories over there. Can you see the Freedom Tower from where you are? Dan, I could see it bright and clear right in front of me. It looks good. It's actually never looked better, Dan, to be honest. Knock it down.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It's going to block a hell of a building. By next year, does it mean between now and then DeSantis is going to give Trump a casino to put there? Look, I don't have that information. I don't have that information. What I would say is, you know, buy some stock in the Freedom Tower. I think it'll be fine. Top five plots of land to put a library slash hotel slash casino. The Shorty's plot of land that just sold for $14 million.
Starting point is 00:33:16 The old Herald building. Let's have two libraries. Do people know how much? He was president twice. Should have been three. There's no land in South Florida. There's a plot of land next to us that the Sanders just gave to Trump to put a greasy casino. Presidential Library Technician.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Slash hotel slash casino. Between me and the Freedom Tower. The freedom, I can see the Freedom Tower now. Read between the lines. Enjoy the view while you still can. That view's gone. The parking lot is exactly where it's going. And leave it right there.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Don't elevate it because climate change is alive. You can't put Trump's story. in my father's shadow like that? Come on. Your father's going to be the one in the shadow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your father will be cutting the ribbon. My father came to this country through that.
Starting point is 00:34:01 He'll be at the ribbon cutting ceremony, like all our great Cubanoes that have been here for a long time. No, none of that TBS nonsense. My father's 82. Someone said too long. He just went to Freedom Tower with Tony. Top five Cubans that have been here too long.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Number one, Dan Lovatouard. Number two, Mark Cuban, Little Mouthey. Didn't Tony hurt his hip? Why is he doing stuff on his thigh? Mike Ryan. So we learned, Billy. That's true. Amen. So we learned, obviously, Carmen is doing a great job here. And what we learned is it's actually not my hip.
Starting point is 00:34:38 It's my Sartorius muscle. It's Sartorius. My Sartorius muscle that is actually a little known muscle that goes from the top of the quad all the way down underneath the quad muscles so Carmen diagnosed me and was able to figure out hey look it's not your hip it's actually your quad so Dan I'm gonna have to change the lawsuit and say quad instead of hip so just so you know the the verbiage on that number four chef Andres and number five Cuban that's been here too long bad bunny can you guys can you guys get cleared for me can you please get cleared for me what
Starting point is 00:35:15 last week tonight did with Fox's reaction to bad bunny and just the idea of a Latin Super Bowl show because I'd like to be able to replay that. But Tony, I'm sorry, we've taken enough of your segment. Tell me, what's OLI? What are you doing? Just observations? We got a couple OLIs, and then we're going to get into the top five, Dan. So we'll start in OLLI number one.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Daniel Jones might actually be the MVP. If it wasn't that Baker is actually going to win the MVP. Oh, wow. We're already there. Week six, you guys are going to do that. We do this every week six with Baker. I mean, who's leading the MVP race right now? But you're doing that?
Starting point is 00:35:54 Who let it in week six last year? It was Baker last year too. Like, we do this with Baker kind of every year. And in the end, everything shakes out. This is unprecedented. Oh, it's a popularity contest. It's a popularity contest. Oh, Josh Allen.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Yeah, he was so good. Okay, fine, whatever. I think it's the first time since. Let's get Baker a shot. A team that has won four of its five first games in the last minute. But, and when they finish 10 and 7, we'll doubt them in a bad division because they won't be quite as good as the Rams in a playoff game. Like Baker Mayfield's now in the top tier of he's going to be playing important games at least in part because he'll always win that division. Where are we going next?
Starting point is 00:36:35 All right. The third, second OLA. That looks like it feels good. That looks like it feels good. No, when she digs in the elbow into the Satorious muscle, it doesn't feel good. That's why I had to give the groan. But look at the skin in that, like, being cupped. What is that?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Is that color puncture? What is that? Why do you, were you cupped? Yeah, it's called cupping, Dan. Yeah. I am getting to know Tony. It actually allows the blood to kind of rush up to the cup and then disperse back down into the muscle. Can you move that towel?
Starting point is 00:37:03 What a boner. This feels pornographic. That's the most pornographic thing we've done. Really, I'm looking at Deshawn Watson here. What's going on? Oh, come on. Greg. I like that one, Greg. Play on for me. All right, Dan, commies are a problem.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Play on. You agree? Play on. Comeys are a problem. The Freedom Tower is going to be blocked by the shadow of the Trump Grift Casino. Oh, a lie, both many Dias. That would actually be capitalism is a problem, but that's a different story. Seriously, they're going to take the view next door with a casino. My father came into this country through that building.
Starting point is 00:37:42 And he'll be going out. of it through that building. As the casino host, that's right. Brought to you by draft kings. Get ready to learn Palantir, puppy. Why'd they move the fight
Starting point is 00:37:53 from the 4th of July to his birthday? That's crazy. It's a greater date. He's 82. My father's 82. He came to this country through that building. Last OLA, I flacco to the Bengals.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Intrigued. That was a good one. one yesterday. That was a good old-fashioned one where we all rose our eyebrows and like, oh, Flacko will give you four touchdowns to Jason Higgins in a game. Maybe Gaseki will get involved because it's Flacko, or he'll
Starting point is 00:38:25 throw five interceptions. You have Jake Browning for that. But everybody, you're good. Tell me I'm right. Tell me I'm right or wrong here. Everyone in sports had a consensus reaction to that trade, which was, maybe
Starting point is 00:38:43 beyond flaco for a couple of games with those receivers. Consensus. A hundred percent. Great trade Cincinnati. Oh, alive. Little Marco. Oh, wait, nope. We like him now. Too many D.S. Yeah, both of them. All right, number five.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Here come the Broncos. Yeah, everyone's saying that. Damn, Broncos are a team. Like you said, they could be 5-0. A couple bad bounces, a couple penalties. They could be a 5-0 team. and we'd be talking to them, talking about them like Super Bowl favorites. They hadn't trailed in a fourth quarter until they got to Philadelphia and ransacked the champions in the fourth quarter. Here they come. Number four, the Patriots are a playoff team.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I'm going to say it in a week six, Patriots are a playoff team. Billy, you laugh at that, you scoff? Oh, O-L-I-O-C. Number three. Are we sending her back? Yes. back to Cuba which is where all these people are from
Starting point is 00:39:46 number three Dan do you know what the D and Dolphin stands for oh boy it's going to be a Spanish word De bingo what's the D and dolphin De binga! Yes Dan
Starting point is 00:40:01 out of boy you're on it today the D and Dolphin stands for De binga you lose to the Panthers who are terrible they don't even want to win and you lose to them Christ almighty
Starting point is 00:40:12 With their quarterback calling a timeout he didn't have, how is that not a penalty? A tiny quarterback at that, Dan. How is that not a penalty? Greg Cody? It is a penalty, isn't it? It wasn't called as a penalty. It was Bryce Young called a timeout he did not have. Should have been a penalty.
Starting point is 00:40:31 What is that a song? The league's cheating on his behalf. Should have been a penalty. Jeremy Taché is Jewish. Yeah, Jewish and Cuban. Oh, double whammy. Number two. Number two
Starting point is 00:40:45 Do you guys just hear that? Hold on me, hold on. Do you hear that? Does that feel good? That's not a punishment. That was Dan Campbell. How is that? No, Dan, that was Dan Campbell
Starting point is 00:40:56 prying open the Lions Super Bowl window, an air-suction cup window that he just pried open with a pro bar, Dano. Lions, back. Billy, you're making a face at that? Nah, just, you know, these are great points that Tony's making. Taking forever, but.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Number one. Number one, there's only one place we could go, Dan. Do you want to say it for me? I'm sorry. I was put off by Billy saying that you were taking forever. The chance of him getting it right. Tony, this is drag on forever. You were talking about this before.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Like, what's Tony doing? It's like, oh, boy. Very rude. Interrupt the man. Yeah, sorry, go on. Thank you. Thank you, Mike. Can you please tell him again?
Starting point is 00:41:38 We may need to look into that shipping container also and see who else we need to send back. Say the whole name. Number one, Dano. Send back. Duvon. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's coming.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Tony's coming. Wow. Four and one, Dan, beat the two-time Super Bowl champion chiefs a couple of years ago on a gutsy Monday night win. Duval. I'm going to say, do I have this wrong? I'm going to say that this is Tony's proudest football moment since riding with the
Starting point is 00:42:12 Jacksonville, Jags. We didn't even celebrate it yesterday since he was lighting candles to San Boselli, which Tony went all in on the Jags. Jags had a comeback that cost Mike Ryan 80 grand, we learned yesterday, which was a shocking number to year. One of the most shocking comebacks in the history of the sport. Jacksonville's finest moment since then is right now this moment. You are lighting candles again today for Boseley. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's as one of, it's probably the biggest Jags person on the planet, basically, at this point. I'm very excited. I think Jacksonville, they did a lot of stupid things, Dan, if you want me to be really honest. I don't know anybody in the NFL that throws past the line of scrimmage more than, enough of you. You gave up on them after one week. You said this is their year. Then they lost week one and you gave up on them.
Starting point is 00:43:02 And now you're the biggest Jags representative on this. Get out of here. that's that again enough from you discord nobody throws the ball past the line of scrimmage more than Trevor Lawrence I don't think he understands like where the line of scrimmage is like we need to put one of those VR headsets that shows the line so you'd be like buddy do not pass this line and throw the ball on top of that delay of games why does he have nine delay of games a game what is that and then he falls on the play and then gets up and scores a touchdown
Starting point is 00:43:28 like thank god he did that because that would have been a bad one to come back to but the jags dan four and one they're frisky who would have thought that The AFC South is going to be a bit of a problem in the AFC, huh? Colts, Jaguars? They're doing the thing where they probably walked out on me. Billy, he's doing four-and-one frisky Jags. He's doing frisky jigs. He's doing frisky jigs. Are they not frisky?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah, but you gave up on them after week one. Now you're back? You don't get it. You don't get it. You don't get it. You don't get it. I wasn't out on them after week one. They had a disappointing week one, but now they're stringed off a couple wins in a row. And then jags are a problem.
Starting point is 00:44:05 They're frisky. Nobody wants to play the Jags. I'll tell you that right now. Nobody wants to play the Jags. I feel like you do. I feel like you do want to play the Jags. You feel like they're going to figure out a way to punch themselves in the face in the fourth quarter. I feel like everyone's going to keep watching all season, expecting Trevor Lawrence to have a three turnover game because he makes three throws three laser beams and throws three interceptions.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Yeah, their defensive takeaways are not sustainable. They'll finish nine and eight. Seahawks don't want to play the Chags. Rams might. Raiders definitely don't. Texans after that. Texans are a frisky team too, Tony, huh? Yeah, they are. All right, friskier. Put it on the poll. Oh, this is a good one.
Starting point is 00:44:45 A frisky off. Who's the friskiest? Wait a minute. This is how we're doing it. Frisky? I saw a stat yesterday that the Ravens defense this season has given up more than the Ravens championship season of Ray Lewis the entire season. The entire season, the year that the Ravens won the championship, they gave up 165 points
Starting point is 00:45:04 because they had to win all their games, 9-6 with Shannon Sharp. Is this the same place you got the Jake Browning's stat? No, this is the correct stat. Look it up. Look it up. I'm sorry, I didn't do it with the stat of the day. They've already, that's got to be right. More what? Points or yards? No, they've given up more points already in five games this season than the championship
Starting point is 00:45:24 defense of Ray Lewis did the entire season when Trent Dilfer was their quarterback and they needed Shannon Sharp to get 17 yards a game so that they could win 9-6 because their team didn't, they won a championship, not scoring for five weeks. We're going to check it out. Are you nervous after the David Montgomery? I'm pretty confident. Yes, I am nervous. after the David Montgomery staff, but I feel like I've got this one right. It's five games. It's so hard to believe.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I believe it. Because I think that team you're referring to gave up less than 200 points. I think the number is 175 or 177. They've already given up this season. It was like 160-something that season. It was 165. Dan is right. Hello. Big Bells, Van Denny. Hello, Dolly. Hello, Dolly.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Hello, Dolly. Oh, yeah. Dolly is right. Dolly. Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal. Hey, Mike. I want to talk to you about Miller Light. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks
