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. I mean, as your sound working, do we have functioning sound? Mike Ryan was offering you the ability

to have better access than you had at the Georgia Tech game, but you were insistent on sitting with your people, correct? I'm a man of the people, Dan, and I came to the game with my friends, we're all GT alums. We had tickets right in the middle of Miami section because we thought the game was going to be during the day so we want to avoid the sun. And so I said to Mike thank you very much for the gesture but I'm going to have to politely decline. And by the way

Mike you said that oh I was killing you. Do that takes it you one time yesterday or on Saturday night. You were actually in my line show. Yeah I know you were actually in my line show. That mean you were actually in my line of you. You didn't know this, but I would occasionally glance and you were torturing me all a game long. You were on one my first and you were anytime that you turned your back and talk to the people behind you.

You were essentially talking to me. I had. I had. You sent me a selfie for me for the game. I'm like, oh, he's not that far. He's two sections away. And the one yellow jacket to baseball jersey in that section wasn't hard to find. How about that? People are writing in that number one in the BCS is the Miami chant. Today, it reminds me of what Mike McDaniel said after the game.

It was very funny, because they've got more yards. The greatest show on surf, and they've got more yards than any team ever through the first five games of the season. And he's like, well, accomplished our offseason goal of statistical output after five games. Miami, the U is back is BCS number one ranked before they played Georgia Tech. I could never take that away from it.

After that, after that, well, Georgia Tech just did. You don't know how many group chats I circulated that. Like we got to bring the computers back. Uh, but I mean, where does this rank with, uh, in terms of Georgia Tech football joy for you? Well, then I mean, I think the thing you gotta realize is we know we know we're terrible. Like we lost a bullet in green last week at home.

Buy a lot. So we came to this game just like, all right, and hang out with my buddies and, you know, maybe we'll catch a fun game or whatever. And we didn't catch a fun game, by the way. No one's talking about that. The game was boring. It was boy, that first half was a slog.

I almost fell asleep a halftime to be honest with you. My friends started taking pictures of me, and that's what woke me up a little bit because I didn't want to be the guy sleeping at the game, but it was really, really dull. But at the end of the game, we walked away and I said, guys, we got together this weekend, and we had a lot of conversations about,

oh, remember that time when we went to this game? Remember when this happened back, you know, 20 years ago, whatever. And I'm like, man, we just added a new memory. This one's in the legend locker. This is one of the greatest Georgia Tech games I've ever been to. You were with your college friends.

How many of them were in town? You were not any kind of sober by the end of that game that you thought was a damn game. I have to. I can't confirm your report, Dan. It's a little, it's a little chilly. I actually only had like half a white claw at the game. I didn't drink that much because I was very thirsty because it was hot and I just realized,

I found out for the first time that hard rock stadium doesn't have air conditioning, not in the concourse, not in the stands, only in the club, sweet to apparently. So I was, I was sweltering. I couldn't believe how thirsty I was. So I just kept buying those bottled waters for like $6 a pot. Yeah, it's an outdoor stadium. Yeah air conditioning. We have it. It's an outdoor

stadium. It's all over the country. No, no, like you have that in like retractable roofs, but they have like ass fans. That's all you'll have in the con Accord, the gas fans. They blow AC and modern stadiums. I know you're used to whatever kind of facilities those are, but in modern stadiums, there's air conditioning out there. Can you give us some more because you immediately went to social media and started just throwing your head back and laughing, which we would have played for the audience if we had a working audience.

So let me just start by saying number one, I've got to stand up for the Miami fans. 99.9% of them were good sports, were classy about it. Like their vitriol was all directed towards who it should have been directed. Mario Christopher. That is, I want to make that clear. Because a lot of people I saw were commenting That's real bold of you to do that at the stadium and I'm like no, I'm at everybody was cool except Except for a couple of jokers behind me and so like I said we knew we were terrible We knew like probably not gonna win this game

But it was boring and we were in it we had about like a hundred yards of total offense. I wanna say a second half. I mean, we had more first downs from penalties than we did from actual first downs. This is where we were at as a team, right? So we scored our first touchdown and me and my friends are celebrating. I had my phone up and I was like,

oh, we did it. Like we did it. And the guy behind me says, sit down and shut up. I'm like, what? He's like, oh, big deal. You guys scored. I said, buddy, do you know how sports work?

Like I'm happy, my team scored. You tell me not to be happy. And he starts yelling, I'm like, bro, why are you so mad? And everyone in the section just starts laughing because it's clear. The student is in sense. So he's angry, yelling, I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

I'm like, you're clearly mad about something. I mean, you're, you guys are winning. Why aren't you happy? Why are you mad at me? And then he's such saying, how many national championships do you guys have? No. I was just like, what? What are you talking about? Your last national championship was pre 9-11. What are you talking about? People on the field were born when you guys won one. So then that's when I clicked and I now I'm awake. Now I'm awake, now I'm into it. So every time Miami would get the ball and offense, right before they snap, you know the crowd gets into a hush, I would just yell out real loud. Watch out for Michael Irvin.

He's been killing on this whole game. Who's got Willis McGay, he's somebody stopping. Clint Ford is right there. And everyone's dying. I said, yo, Somebody stop clin poor. This is right there and everyone's dying I said, yo, they got to the Lurian stop them I'm the for going back in time and bringing grace onto the field So then Tyler Van Dyke throws a pick. That's when I sent my first who we got an interception video And then that's where it's really started getting this dude just yelling every time my am my amy would do something good

He'd start yelling. What'd you post that on levitard? Huh? What would you put that on the Levitard V? Well, this is what he ended up putting out in a way that got us all in trouble because now Miami fans are mad at our account for sounding like we're anti Miami. I'm misplaced anger. But here, yes, I would say Miami deserves. There's a lot of misplaced anger. I mean, got some, I love a mean turning yes, I would say, well, Miami deserves it today. There's a lot of misplaced anger. I mean, got some, I love a mean turning around. What are you so mad about? Did you not watch?

Like it's obvious that every, you go to a sporting event to feel good to enjoy your evening. Everyone who left there that cares about Miami left the way Mike did needing that suicide prevention number as a public service because they were so broken. Then that was in the third quarter. This dude was mad. Oh, game long. It had nothing. He wasn't even there for the end. I was saving it. He wasn't even there for the end.

He had left, right? He missed that whole part, which really upset me. By the way, there was another guy I call him angry fan number two. At one point, my Amy has scores of touchdown and he's sub screaming at me. Why don't you tap them up? I'm like, what are you talking about? The fans are funny. The Miami fans are fun of you. Why don't you tap them up when they, when we did something good,

when you guys scored, they tapped you up. I was like, first of all, these people in front of me are cool. That's why we've been joking all game long. The second of all, do you want me to congratulate you guys every time something good happens? Fine, I'll do it. So then anytime guys would get like a third in one conversion, I would tap my man in front of me and say, man, can I shake your hand?

You're like, sure, I would shake your hand and then I would turn and I look back at the guy like, like this, like this. I'm like, doing it right? Like this and everybody in the section was dying laughing again. Because these two, you're playing with fire here. Are you not paying attention to what's going on in America and stadiums? Like you are playing with fire making doing that kind of stuff in in my

amings land. Well, I'm a, well, two things made me bold. Number one was again, everybody in the section was on my side because everyone could tell man, these guys are just here to have a good time. We're not being disrespectful. We're not talking trash We're just celebrating when our bad team does something mildly positive. So everyone kind of had our backs But also I have my boy with me now. This is the funny part the final play when I'm laughing and people see behind me a guy in a great shirt Who looks pissed everyone thought he's a Miami fan? That's my buddy Aaron. I went to college with him He's part of our group. He's upset

because of the Jemokes who were yelling and talking trash because he unlike me, he's not about shenanigans. So I won't lie then. I kind of bet that my buddy was going to take care of business. If business had to get taken care of, just go throw that out there. Let's play the sound now and the video of a mean at the end of that game really playing with fire within agitated Miami fan base are all around him I did see that as he was recording it Kick back to the neck. I feel like, I just got taken back. There's choppers going off.

Got him good at me. There's choppers in the background. I know this makes me feel so much better. It makes me feel so much better now. Knowing that Mike could see all of this. But guys, really quick, I do have a top five. I do have a top five on the game. Okay, unfortunately we're out of time.

I'm so sorry. Okay, we don't need to get to your top five. I want to get to his top five. You sure we. Yes, what is the top five? We will talk to Alphans nationally. Can you make it a top three? They're a national story.

Number can we quit? You got outside looking in or just start with no. No, just go to the five. That's five. What's the subject top five what okay Neil puns number five Neil do not mess this up

You want to stay with this four try this I try to stop you man Nelt Carter Star of You take the good you take the bad to Neil the ball and there you have the facts of life number three Neil on grass Tyson That's the first one actually get it doesn't mean it's good number number two The captain had to kneel the captain had to kneel. That's how I know.

Smile, that's how he's going. He's that's 1970s. He's going with really musty references. Finally, number of thanks to life was the most modern. And that's like, what, 80s, number one, Liam Neilsen. No, no, no, no, no, no. Thank you. All right.

I mean, thank you for being on with us. Tathre would have been fine. He woke up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, kick him out of the zoom. You can't do this. If you just want to throw. This is some bullshit. If you want to just turn on the YouTube for everybody else. I could have done 45 minutes on that Aggies win. Sit there smiling. I had to talk about the Aggies win two weeks after. Mike, nobody wants to do that. You will understand that. No, I understand.

I understand exactly what the whole setup is here. And I hope you guys are happy that I'm sad. Yeah. The Miami Dolphins yesterday, Stugat, this is rare in the modern age of football, not only Wink Martin Dale saying they're defensive coordinator of the giant. Hey, this is the greatest show on turf, except supersonic.

Like this, you know, the, you don't hear professional coaches talking the way Wink Martin Dale was talking, where he's like, yeah, I slept like a baby before facing this offense. I got up every two hours and started crying. And for the dolphins, you know, the rare part of what I saw yesterday, rare than even a dolphin team that has giant plays, giant explosive plays and is clearly the fastest team in the league. Not the best.

San Francisco and Philadelphia can stake that claim. But to me, what I saw yesterday against a bad team, even though it's a bad team, to win by 15 when your minus three on turnovers and one of the three is a pick six. Yep. That doesn't happen a lot in the NFL where you've got a minus three on the turnovers and one of them is allowing points that are 102 yards and you're still covering the spread and you're still winning by two touchdowns as the Giants play a reasonably strong game for the Giants and an efficient game for

the Giants because they weren't spinning the ball up. They were getting sick, but half as many times as they got sick the week before. I want to get to the spread in a second, but they ran the ball 23 times for 222 yards. Like they're averaging nine and a half yards per carry. They could have only run the ball yesterday and still won by the same score. Perhaps even more because that eliminates the pick. Say H&N had 11 touches and how many yards is he getting per touch now? 11 11 carries 151 yards yesterday. So and they they kick the tires on every running back in the sport this off season. And they've got someone who's outperforming all of them. He has been better than everyone in the league at the position that they were trying to get to play the position for them when they already

had him on the roster. Just quickly, because the dolphins were my big play yesterday just to address the spread, I have never been so terrified to see Ty Rod Taylor in my life. That back door was wide open for him. He was gunin' for it. I was a nervous move. He survived.

That's nice. I would have just said hate. 10 out of 10 definitely hate. He hates Texas. I've become... See you guys, hate Oklahoma. So much! I hate Oklahoma more than anything in the entire world. I hate Oklahoma. There's one hundred and then my hatred for it. One hundred and my hatred for, Okola is right here.

It's cancer and then that's Oklahoma. Hell yeah! I'm like priorities are at. No. Look, I don't say I disagree right now. These are my two favorite guys the whole day. Oh god! Backtalking and whatnot.

This is my first fried food of the day. Because all you guys want is for me to eat fried food here. I've corn dog, 8 a.m. Why not? the first fried food of the day. Because all you guys want is for me to eat fried food here. Corn dog, 8 a.m. Why not? What are you gonna miss most about the big 12? Ah, nothing. Nice. I really won't miss much because we're gonna

destroy that DC. Give us Georgia! Give us Georgia! Lincoln Riley, how does that make you feel? It makes me look at orange and puke month Like his brisket Face in the money always chasing the money. Do you watch the damn Leopardar Joe's two gods? Yeah, I listen every single day. We do absolutely yes

Now I will and you're soon to yeah horns down. How is it? How is it? 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10! Nice! We had to go home and the fans were now on the Texas side. So, this was the best. This is amazing. I am absolutely switching teams over here.

It's called playing both sides. You can't move. The team's size. I'm excited that I'm not going to check the Iowa score. Not even gonna look at it. Having a great day, and I'm gonna let it continue. Is your favorite person on the show? I like to, God's. God'sy. We were looking for Lucy, but that's a good second answer.

Dan. Dan. Stop the camera, stop it. I love Dan. I love you, I love you. I am. it. I love that limiter. I'll let you out. Are you Lucy? I am. Lucy, I love you. I love you.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Lucy is on God bless football today. She admits where she admits that she wept during that game. She was just moved by all of the adjacent emotions around that. Just so people know Oklahoma and Texas, it's a big money sport, obviously paid $100

million to get out of their conference deals combined so that they could be in the SEC. And Jeremy found himself also moved by the things in that rivalry, those games always seem to be close. They always seem to be dramatic, no matter how much better one of the teams is than the other, but when Mike Ryan asks me, well Dan, how do you feel about what happened to the University of Miami as someone who went there?

The answer is not like that. At 54 years old, just things have happened in my life that almost always make me put sports in a proper perspective that makes it more joyless than I wish that it was, less emotional than I wish that it was because I'm interested in the sociology and the stories, but the games themselves, Mario, Crystal Ball, doesn't make me enraged where I can't sleep Saturday night because I'm so mad about what happened.

But I understand that that's where our customers live. I understand that all of us get to make a living because of how people care about sports that way. Jeremy's sitting there watching Texas Oklahoma. I don't know which games to gots from the weekend. You found the most interesting, but that one. I mean, Texas has, Texas is feeling like they're back because they somehow got the manning brother at quarterback or the manning child, manning prodigy. Well, they beat Alabama and you were just playing so well. Like, he was playing so well headed into that game.

And he played well in that game, but Sark cost him a game. I was so blown away by the first three minutes of that football game. I have not found myself that emotionally invested in a game that I had no reason to be emotionally invested in in forever. And it was just you could feel not only the emotion in the stadium, but through the players that this is like one of the last remaining real rival reads where Dylan Gabriel's playing quarterback in this game after missing it last year. And so he's got something to overcome.

You've got yours and his his clear nerves at the beginning. He throws a pick at the very beginning of the game that leads to an Oklahoma touchdown. Then this unbelievable full length of the field drive that ends in an interception at the goal line and then a block punt for a touchdown. It's seven, seven after three minutes and there was more that happened in those three minutes

than most of the football games I've watched all season in entirety. Seemingly all the big plays happened as another team was right about to score. Like they all happened in the end zone. There was one that happened in the third quarter and you're like, that might decide the game, but there's probably going to be seven more important moments before this game ends. I love how early it is in the college football season.

I know there's a lot of Ohio, Satan, Michigan people, but it's just such a joy to watch a high noon start in the cotton bowl of 50, 50 divided stadium at the state fair. It's one of my favorite traditions. And it's what makes college football the closest thing to European soccer here in the state in terms of tribalism and pride

and prestige and pop and circumstance. I love it all. It was a bizarre viewing experience, especially towards Ian, because he had a player being recorded out and then ABC News breaks in. And a lot of people are learning, oh shit, how bad everything is going on over in Israel. And then you go right back to the fireworks of Red River.

It was a breakneck experience. That was the quickest update to a war I've ever seen. I mean, it was one minute back to football. It was a break neck experience. That was the quick, that was the quickest update to a war I've ever seen. I mean, it was one minute back to football. It was crazy. The electricity was such that Pat McAfee, who was partaking in a 33 yard field goal for $45,000 that a student was trying to win. He called that experience the most bananas thing he's ever been a part of.

I'm pretty sure he did a backflip off a turnbuckle at WrestleMania. And then he got stunned by Stone Cold Steve Austin. Him to call that the most bananas thing he's ever been a part of is at least in part because you can tell in that video with Lucy the emotion around that. I don't know how much is that going to change. Like I've read that that's going to die. That that rivalry isn't going to feel like that. It's one of the things that's going to hurt the most in the cash transaction that is

college football. One of the things that you're going to lose. I think that's part of the reason why it was hitting me so much right at the beginning of the game and watching these teams and the emotion that was there It was like for the first time in a while and what feels like it might be the last time I felt like I was just watching college kids who were there for the uniforms that were on the front of the chest and like all of the cliches That we always say no look Hey Dylan Gabriel is the ultimate example. He left UCF for Oklahoma, specifically for NIL. Like these are guys that are existing in this world. But for whatever

reason, based off of the pomp and circumstance around it, it felt like college football in such a specific way. It helped that both teams were five and no. Both teams were a national championship contention. Both teams have a shot at the playoffs. They still do, I guess, Texas does. Both teams have red ass coaches. Yeah, that just run red the entire time. Because they both have neck veins at pop out. Venables looks insane. Oh my God.

He looks like Fire Marshall Bill. Like it, it's crazy looking at him. I can hear his teeth grit. Yes. And Sarc, I just haven't liked since that video before the bowl game where the cameraman, where the field or the field producers just telling me Sam back and he's like, don't you f**k and touch me! That was crazy. Do you remember that video?

Juju, get your f**k and hands off me guy like holy shit. This is very nature. I'm gonna break. Put it on the pole please, Juju at Levitard show does venables, do the veins in venables neck have muscles from all the work they get from the rage? Because he does. Fire Martial Bill is a good reference if dated in living color,

one of Jim Carrey's first characters and he does give off a certain level of insanity. Billy, I don't know whether college football made the cut for you, Billy, but I was floored to hear that you won an inter family divide in that you got to put a projector, a second projector in the house for sports. Well, that you think you won. That your wife didn't want in the house. Was college football on it? When did you decide to do this? How did you decide to do this? How did you decide to do this?

And what were you doing at four? Well, so here's the deal, is I have discussed possibly doing this for some time, because the wall that the TV is in in the living room is rather barren. And I have kind of, I feel like I've given ample time for frames to go up or whatever, and there's still nothing there. So I have at times joked I'm gonna get another TV

and put it there. Which my wife said no you're not this is not a sports bar. So I said okay well I can't I can't do that I can't get another TV and just mounted on the wall because that's very obvious. That's a classic life on the wife. Yeah. So I have the same thing. I put it on the pole. I've been there. Has your partner slash wife ever said to you, this is not a sports bar when you're trying to decorate the home with televisions?

Well, so I've been trying to figure out a work around and I figured out this projection thing a little while ago. And I always thought, hey, last football season, I was really thinking about it. And I even threw it out there, like, I think I'm gonna get a projector and project onto the wall. M-O-I've said, no, you're not.

And then this year. It's not a sports bar. Yeah, it's not a sports bar. And then this year, I went on Amazon, and I fell in for $35, and I said, this is a risk worth taking. I will buy this for $35, and if I get in trouble,

I will deal with the ramifications for $35. Because I just need a proof of concept, so I did it this for $35 and if I get in trouble, I will deal with the ramifications for $35. Because I just need a proof of content. So I did it this weekend. And then I had to, you know, hang a dark sheet over one of the windows, which she was not a fan of. So I don't know how long this is gonna last. I feel like the day is watching two sporting events at the same time are numbered because I think

what's gonna happen is I'm gonna have the game on the projection and Coco Mellon's gonna be on the main TV and I'm gonna have to watch it on mute. And I've really done myself a disservice and shot myself in the foot and given them an option but for one week Dan, it was absolutely gorgeous. For one week, for one week. It was doing Gabriel delivered, baby.

It's so good. It's so good. It's so good. Ah. What was on the TV? Red zone in the Dolphids. Then red zone in Sun and I football. Don Lebatard. We all know the words, the last resort.

Yeah, I know I know it's a hit Roy. Roy, you absolutely know all the words. I like into peace. Vinicilaric. You're lying. No, you're lying. I'm having that. Roy is Roy going to get the first ever attack from the chickens.

Are you all accusing me of lying that he does right? That's all that we're talking about. Still gots. My life is tough, he says this is my last reason. Some actions, no, we don't give a damn.

I know you thought about it. I know you thought about it. And you probably thought better about it.

You did. I like the prints also worked in my year. Yeah. Three hours and all about. So I couldn't see the game anyway. I didn't miss much. We don't have time, Papa Ruiz.

We're doing a show here. Unless you want to make fun of your son Let's do two gods is weekend observations This time for us two gods to share his game notes No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy stew weekend observations Hang on give me a second. Okay, dad's still on the line. I just hung up on him. Did you hang up on your dad? What are you doing?

It's weekend observations. He was wishing you a happy birthday. He asked me if it was Tennantai Ocho. He didn't know what year it was. He didn't know how old you were turning. No, I mean, I guess right. Brought to you by Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories available for delivery.

Dan, it wasn't too long ago. When the only things we had were regular season baseball at Joey Chestnut, but with college football and the NFL in full swing plus the major league baseball playoffs Plus the NBA and hockey season starting very soon Dan make no mistake about it sports really are back Just all of sports sports back This is the best time of the year on the sports calendar. They say that I do month, accept the Joey Chestnut. Right.

You all you say that about every single month, especially April, March madness. It's a good time though. You agree, right? I mean, everything's happening. There are a lot of sports going on, except for when Joey Chestnut, that one couple of days, a couple of days where he's eating hot dog. Yeah.

Pretty certain when the new BCS standings come out, the Miami Hurricanes will no longer be number one. Dan, you know what the M in Mario, Crystal Ball stands for? I do not. Not math. You know what the C stands for? Not champion chips. Dan, brace yourself. I'm serious.

I'm brave. Hold on to something. Obey Toppin is a pacer. Oh wow. It's all happening. I would have thought that what's all happened. Sports. I would have thought that you would have known that as a proud Nick fan. Brown. He talked you back. Dan, remember that thing I said about something being off in Athens? It's fixed. Never mind. Never mind. You bet Kentucky.

Give him a minute. You bet Kentucky plus 14 and a half plus 15. I bought it up. Why would you buy that? I don't know. Just in case it landed on 15 He's got a problem with buying things down and up to the point where I think he spends more money buying things up and down and he wins Unbets it gets you're right, Billy. He just doesn't like the half point one that wants to obliterate it wants to eradicate the half point

College football. Chaos. Lionel Messi. Bust. Mike Conley. Is a T-wolf. Oh boy. I am doing a service for the audience.

The NBA season will start and rather than be shocked when you see it, I'm telling you right now. Okay? I would defy people in our audience to name Mike Conley's last couple of teams. He played 24 games for the Timber timber wolves last year. He did? Uh-huh He was you taught before that right correct and right what about before that what's Memphis for like his whole career Okay, I didn't know that I thought there was a stop between Memphis and Utah the second I heard

Dick Buckis passed away. I The second I heard Dick Buckis passed away. I regretted my bet on the commanders You don't beat the Bears anytime Dick Buckis passes away Rest in peace too soon What to rest in peace. I mean he only passes away once I said anytime to say it never happened before It's weird it didn't form what I would do with their saying I football It's weird. It didn't form what I would do with their saying I football. The cool comments court to touch on the salon.

The bears out of nowhere. Yeah, but we had we had in our parlay. We had washing. Mander's money line. Yeah, we nailed two of the three. We didn't know. I mean, we didn't know that Dick what kids was going to die. Right. Had we known that you come with an asterisk. You're absolutely right. Thank you. Texas and Oklahoma had to be a tough name to grow up with unless you're dick butt. It's a very tough name for a child to have. So is weener. Imagine you're dick. Right. A dick kiss.

Dick Paul. Yeah. Dick kiss weener. Yeah. Yeah, Dick Kisweiner. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Answer it, Dundin. It's not. It's a Dick Budgios is a truly terrible name for a child to have, but a great name for a linebacker.

I mean, I think only because he was a great linebacker, are we saying it's a great name for a linebacker? I think it's just a terrible name. Texas and Oklahoma at the Cottonball. That's what SEC football is all about. Someone asked me over the weekend, Matthew McConaughey, Cool or Crazy. You can only pick one. I didn't know which one to pick. I put it on the pole. Please do a laboratory show. McConaughey, Cool or Crazy crazy you can only pick one it's tough because I would say yes cooler crazy yes yep I mean got arrested for playing bongo's naked

in his own house that was like division of privacy that was bullshit you're right Tony it's his house I just barged in his house and arrested a man playing bongo's naked. I'm going to be a business here. He's a little loud. You don't. Missouri. You're exactly who we thought you were. Death, taxes, ever stopping that guy every year, every week, every race. No one. And I mean no one.

Loves a goal line stand stand more than Brett Venables. Dan, you know what the G and Dylan Gabriel stands for? Go Nads. Big gigantic Go Nads. What a drive. What a play. What a player. In the conversation. No. No, he inserted himself into the conversation. He did. Go Nads. Which conversation? conversation. No, no, he had served himself into the conversation. He did go nights with conversation. The Highestman conversation and Oklahoma is the national championship conversation. What do you mean? No, I mean, he had a good game

against Texas. I will not dispute it. I've watched him play this year. He is not as good as Penex. He's not as good as Drake May. He's not as good as Caleb Williams. He's not nearly as good as any of these people. Yeah, and we've been talking about dumb ones, Venables is good for dumb one.

Not certain what napatism looks like, but I'm pretty certain it looks like Drake stoops. How a big pass. He didn't want. He's good. One pass. He's good. It's actually fun watching him

and the crowd coming alive going stew Washington Oregon de facto playoff game you can't say stupsey without putting an old in front of it Really yes, so if you're so stupsey okay, oh with an apostrophe. Yes Thought you're gonna put it on the pole grant Williams Williams is a Maverick, Texas A&M, quarterback, Mac Johnson, through a TD pass to his brother Jake Johnson. You of course know what that means, Dan. It means a couple of Johnson's were cut it up at college station.

How about that? Mac Johnson. Whatever, what did I say? I mean, yeah, I think you're right. It's not Connor Wegman can I that's for sure? 259 yards passing 130 yards rushing for JT Daniels. You know what he did Dan? I Don't know what you did you really you don't know what he did did it all good guess, but no

He did a little bit of everything. Oh a little bit bit of everything. It sounds like he did a lot of... Wait a second, JT Daniels is still around? No way. Yeah. JT Daniels. Oh. It's a fine. Hang on.

It's a fine. I'll pay it right now. It's a fine, JT Daniels. Oh my god, JT Daniels is also still around. I'm good! He's... But is it... He's at Rice.

He looks like someone that's going to Rice. He threw for 362 yards in a loss to Yukon. Wow. Mr. God, you got to pay the fine. You just find yourself. No, I didn't. But him being around, he's not who you were talking about. I was talking about Jaden Daniels.

Well, then what, that's a fine. Third school now for JT Daniels. Really? Georgia, West Virginia. Fourth? Oh, yeah, USC fourth school for JT Daniels. Really? Yeah. Georgia, West Virginia. Fourth? Yeah. Starting year. Oh yeah, USC. Fourth school for JT Daniel. That's college sports. I think college sports is a Colorado state kicker with three kids who's 31. I think

that's college sports. That's my Lewis kicking. Which I'd be all in on by the way. Guys got a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser.

I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser.

I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I'm a loser. I a Laker. I'd love to see a fight between Mick Cronin and Brent Venables. You wouldn't have to tell them to fight to the death. They just would. It's a given. It's all they know. It's a given. Yeah, yeah. You just

put them in the same room and Venables is breaking a pool. It's redundant. It's redundant to say, hey, you need to fight to the death. Like, what do you mean? That's why we're fighting. Are there any or a guy? any other guys? Why would I fight for any other reason? Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. There's something going on with the Texas Rangers. Yeah, it's that you can't give 100 win teams five days off and expect to not ruin the playoffs.

Atlanta Braves, do it in the post season. Lionel Messi, do it in the post season. Brock Pertie, do it in the postseason. Lionel Messi do it in the postseason. Brock Purti do it in the postseason. Clayton Kershaw the gift that keeps on giving. I mean Jesus. Did you see the stat line? Do you know the stat line? No. A third of an inning. Six runs, six hits.

One third of an inning. He got one out. Nobody cares that the 100 win teams clearly had their timing thrown off. I do, Dan. Nope. Nobody cares about it. All I mean, Baltimore's a great offensive team. Atlanta hasn't looked like they looked in game one all season. Not once in a game. So there's an advantage to being a wildcard team. There's the advantage. The advantage. The advantage. The rotation. Get out of here. The three hundred win teams couldn't hit the baseball in the first game because their timing was all shorter. Salute more. In the regular season. See Kershaw's the RAs to got. What? 162. Do it in the pose, Susan. The Gi's defense has more first half touchdowns

Then they're off its the Tennessee Titans did what the Tennessee Titans do. It's one right the way It's one. Yes. It's one. It's all the giant's defense has one First half touchdowns and the giant's don't have any first half They're off it's okay, so did Mike Tomlin, by the way, you did what Mike Tomlin does. He has to be stopped. Someone needs to stop. You can't stop. You can't do that to my football. You can't, you can't make me watch that. And at the end, you're three and two Tomlin. And I'm looking around and I'm like, how the hell are you

three and two? He can't keep getting away with this. How are you three and two in the Vikings are one and four? How is that one? Why? Can he pick it? Can he pick it who refuses to throw the ball down field? Stad of the day, the Jets three nothing, first quarter lead yesterday was the first time they had a lead in regulation the entire season.

I got a stad of the day for that. That's the first time they had a lead in regulation. The entire season, big one. I think I can top you though with today's stat of the day. What are you up? Jim Harbaugh in his playing career, this is stunning. Had more rushing yards than Bo Jackson.

Come on. It's impossible. No, no way. It's impossible. You're picturing, I don't believe khakis, aren't you? In the back field, you're picturing. You're picturing, you're picturing. Even if it's true a campy trip. It is possible. You're picturing I don't believe khakis aren't you in the back field your picture Even if it's true a campi-ture it is true. I couldn't believe it either. I think it's one of the greatest stats I've ever heard

I'm gonna blow your mind Jeremy. There was a time where Jim Harball was the swaggiest quarterback in league. Yes What yeah, he was headband. He was called captain come back. Toss, he was just this. Yeah, this gun-slinging scrambler. The guy who drinks glasses of milk. That guy. Didn't he punch a reporter one time? He was a swaggy QB. It was. Beat the chargers and the Bengals.

Lose to the Saints, Browns and Colts. That's Tennessee Titans football. That was the best. Dan, brace yourself again, because Rudy Gay is a warrior. He's still playing. No, he's a close friend, personal. He's a warrior. He's going to finally get that ring.

Yeah, coming off the bench. Jamar Chase was right. He's always open. Joe Barrow. Good to see you again. 60 minutes. The Godfather of artificial intelligence. That's what I'm talking about. AI. For the second consecutive Sunday

from 1 to 4 p.m. Eastern, I sat there wondering how the hell the jets lost to the Patriots at home. Speaking of hell or prials, Dan, those are the weekend observations.
