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'm gonna admit it here publicly, I've not met this man, but he makes me happy. His face makes me happy. His mustache makes me happy.

Hit the way he plays third base. The way he plays baseball makes me happy. The way he meshes. The pornographic hacks that he takes. Make me happy. Jake Berger with us, they may have rescued their season over the weekend. The nationals have lost to them every time I think except twice, but it's nice to see you, Jake.

And we were just talking about the humanity of athletes and how we forget about it. I cannot imagine, Jake, how tired you must be this late in a baseball season. It is inhumane the way they play 162 games and make you fly from city to city. How tired are you with a nine-month-old trying to change lives in a different city and also, hey, here's a pennant race? Yeah, it's definitely, there's really no words to describe it. I think August is probably the hardest month just because there's no other sports to kind of get you out of it. You know, but you get in a September, you get NFL games on, you get college football

games on. So, you know, you kind of glaze over the sore legs and whatnot. But, yeah, I mean, anytime you're in a pen race, though, that adrenaline kind of kicks in right when you get on the field And you don't even think about how tired you are Jake walk me through the mechanics of trying to put a new I know yours is a nine month old now, but a young child back to sleep when they wake up in the night Are we a bouncer? Are we swaying from side to side? Drive around the block. What do you do around the block? Yeah, yeah My wife and I, both of our sets of parents drove us around the block and are like, do not do that. Like, don't get

into that. Get a means to it. Yeah. At all. So, um, I'm more of like a swear little sh, sh, hell a little sh, yeah. Yeah. My wife's more like bounce. I'm more sweat. Yeah, single bit. Yeah, my wife's more like bounce. I'm more sweat. Jake, before this series against the nationals, a lot of people, Dan included, said the season was over for the Marlins. Is it possible that on Saturday

when you had your multi-homer game, you thought, you know what, I need a little break from nine month old. Like we need this season to go on as long as possible. Let's go on an extended playoff run just so I can get some sleep on the road. Because I'll tell you a personal story. I have a three month or I have a two month old now. I have a two year old.

I was hospitalized with kidney stones like six, seven months ago. It was the best sleep I had gotten in months. And I was like, man, I should have been hospitalized sooner. So I imagine when you're on the road, you're getting a lot of rest. So you want this season to drag out as long as possible, right? See, but my family travels with me everywhere. So, you know, my wife does a really good job of, you know,

that we got a day game tomorrow. I'll take the baby and night, what not. So, I actually played better when they're with me versus when they're not. So, I'm down for them to travel wherever and hopefully through the playoffs too. Jake, I saw that you grew up playing hockey and you even played with our Matthew Kachuck at one point. And my question is, can you just text them and tell them I love him?

I'm not you. I'll let him know. Okay. Jake, what's the story of the mustache? So I went into spring training this year and I wanted to change it up and I'm like, yeah, let's have some fun with the MLB.com photo Because it's been a beard the last couple years and so I'm like what can make my family cringe the most and it was a mustache

so I decided to go with the mustache all of my photos like on everything, like top cards, everything is a mustache. And but then I started hitting, I hit no, I'll over with the mustache. So I let it ride until about June started struggling the month of June. And I'm like, all right, I got to change it up, went to the beard, had a decent July, a decent August, and then I was like, hey, we got to start hitting some more homers, you know, we'd better shave the rest of the beard and keep the mustache. And you know, since I've shaved it, I've played in five games and hit what, three homeruns, I think. She take it all the credit. Oh, always. It's an it's an active hostility against your family. Yeah, I mean, I just wanted to see how people would react and, you know, you really find out who, uh, who really loves you

when you, uh, when you shave it down to a mustache. I, I, do I underestimate you by loving how much of a keg softball player you are? Because I know you're an, you're obviously a great athlete. It, in fact, baseball doesn't have, you can't make the old John Croc jokes about players in baseball or an athlete anymore. The skill level of what you guys are doing is totally absurd. But I do enjoy your keg softballness. Yeah. Yeah.

I've probably gotten asked to be on a beer league softball team, probably, I don't know, 20 times from 20 different people. And so, I mean, I'm down to, uh, down to get out there. I just got to run it by, by Kim and the Marlins first. Wait a minute. So you're talking about as a ringer. You're going to show up with that mustache. You're going to show up. Nobody. I'd start a softball team just to have Jake Berger on people are not going to know you play for the marlins and then they're going to see you hit a softball 450 feet through like amy's trees. Yeah. That would be great.

How did the change work for you Jake like when you switched cities and teams and you heard marlins where you like, ah, bleep. No, no, I was actually because most of it. I didn't know. It's, uh, it, when you're coming to a team that's in a wildcard push, I mean, it makes every single game, you know, every single pitch really, really exciting. So, um, I, I was a little nervous because I really didn't know anybody. But me getting traded over with Josh Bell helped a lot. We kind of became instant best friends and made that transition and easier. And I played against Braxton Garrett and Nick Fortell,

Ted's and a couple of other guys. So that made it easy. And then I actually the only guy I knew was Johnny Quato from him, being with the White Sox last year. So, but yeah, it was it was interesting. My wife loves Florida and loves the beach. So, I mean, that made it easy. Obviously, it's when you're going from Chicago, which is four and a half hour drive from St. Louis, where my family's from. You know, they're going to have to get on a fight, but, you know, that's easy enough. So, I was really excited. Well, your stats also show it because you were hitting 2.14, your OPS was a little bit lower. You had, you know, decent home runs, RBIs, but you've picked it up. There was, like, you had an injection of life in this team at the trade deadline, and you mentioned something

that I thought was interesting that, like, is not something that we hear a lot around here where you talked about the culture of the team. And how excited you were to get to the culture of the Marlins coming from the White Talks. What did you mean by that? Yeah, I mean, I think anytime you're underperforming as a team, it's obviously not as fun of the atmosphere in the clubhouse. And, you know, I got to give a lot of credit to the white socks for, you know, sticking with me through my different Achilles injuries. And, you know, I was on the shelf for three years.

And so, they stuck with me. And I loved every minute I had in Chicago. But, you know, when you come over to Miami and see, you know, what type of team they have and they played Austin, Chicago earlier this year and came back from two games where they were down going into the ninth inning. And it's just that like tenacity to not give up, not given. And that was kind of the cool choice I was referring to where, you know, you're coming, coming into a place that is in a wild card race and, you know, how it has that extra gear that says, hey, you know, it doesn't matter how much we're

down by, we're going to, we're going to do everything we can to get back into this. Jake, baseball is a bit of a mind bleep to try and earn your money when you're going to fail like eight out of ten times and now you just sort of bounced over the Achilles heel. You've cared about this all your life, your career is in jeopardy. You tear your Achilles twice and you sink into a real mental health struggle that has been since diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder. Did you must have felt the obsession of it, must have made you feel like you were swimming and couldn't get out of a quick sand?

Yeah, I mean, that was every single day, I could, but really, when something's taken away from you that you've been doing your entire life, it's devastating. And I really didn't know how to deal with that mentally and You know, I didn't really have anything in place to you know be able to express what I'm dealing with and yeah, I got diagnosed with PTSD and Especially for my second like you always rupture which happened at home. So Yeah, that Because obviously when you're when you're on the field and you get injured, it's like okay

I can kind of compartmentalize that injury with being on the field and playing baseball. But when you do the second one at home, it's like, this is everyday life type stuff. And it's going to affect me a little more. So yeah, it's really hard. I really thought about quitting multiple times and actually had a conversation. First conversation I had about fully quitting

was with my mom at a witch witch in St. Louis, Missouri. And she, I basically was like, hey mom, I'm thinking about quitting. She's like, don't regret anything you do in life. I think if you quit, you're gonna regret it. And I had the same conversation with my dad. He had good the same thing. And I'm very fortunate that they were there to kind of put nudge me along

and get me back on the right track. Jake, I'm sure a lot of people who've gone through mental health issues can relate to what you've gone through. How did you get through it? Was it just family that you leaned on or did you seek professional help? How did you manage to get through all of it? And PTSD, that's a strong diagnosis, Jake. So you feel like you're going crazy, correct? Yeah, yeah. There was multiple nights where, you know, I'd be laying in bed and my whole body would freeze up. Like, it would basically feel like I was re-taring my Achilles again.

And my whole body would kind of get rock solid. And I'd like, kind of have this like, I don't really know how to describe it. It was, I don't know, it's really hard to explain that aspect of it, but you know, going, getting through it, you know, I really leaned on family and I kind of made up this, like, burger bombs list of things that I did to kind of help me. And it's a pretty cool acronym because obviously it's burger bombs, but that's right. That's exactly why it's a pretty cool acronym because obviously it's burger bombs, but that's right. That's exactly why it's a cool acronym because of course it's burger bombs.

But so the B of the burger bombs is B open and you know, in this day and age, I think the stigma is starting to, you know, kind of go away. It's still there though about men being able to just, you know, talk of go away. It's still there though about men being able to just, you know, talk about their feelings and talk about what they're going through. And for the longest time, I would just kind of bottle it up and I started to push my family and friends away and kind of just go into the shell.

And so once I was able to kind of start talking about it more and more, made me feel better, made me realize that there's a lot of people that are also dealing with similar stuff. So, you know, that was probably the main one. It was be open and then the end of the burger bombs meditate and I really started to focus on breathing and just be mindful and realize that, yeah, this sucks now, but who knows what's gonna happen in the future, so just take it one day at a time and just keep waking up.

Jake, we have about a minute left. Which which, what is that? Oh, it sounds delicious. I bet was it a good which which? Was it good? Tell me more about which which. It's a sandwich place. You guys never been? No, Yeah. It's like a full

like custom sandwich place. Like you can customize like your entire thing. Look how awesome. You put it on the back. Look how happy. It's under that mustache. Look at it. We finally asked the question. Look at it. Look how delighted he is. I mean, it's unbelievable. I can't believe you have never had it. Well, what's the perfect sandwich? Walk it through it. Oh, that's, see, there's so many options. I think you, whatever sandwich you have, you have to have banana peppers on it. I don't know why I just love banana peppers.

You know, I think it's probably an Italian, get some salami on there, you know, get some ham and then banana peppers and mustard. Josh Bell keeps making fun of me because I like mustard. And it's really start to. You, the burger. The burger and bell thing is a buddy cop movie. Like you guys just run around baseball,

dropping bombs all over the place. Like the Marlins corner infielders feel like giant guys who are only swinging to hit the ball 7,000 feet. Yeah, yeah. And apparently Josh doesn't like mustard and it's trying to get him on that train. Is that a good sandwich that burgers put together? Because you guys were making a lot of faces at his at his banana pepper, Edict.

You didn't like that. Not my cup of tea. It's a weird staple. Yeah. It's not mayonnaise. Look at that burger. You like a spicy burger. You like a spicy sandwich and everyone here is judging you.

No one wants to say it to your face because you're a big famous athlete. Yeah, I mean, it's all right. I'll probably get like 15 texts after this too from my friends and family judging me for it too. So one more on the way out here. How do you like your burger cooked? Cooked or like customization because cooked. I think it's like medium like temperature and then

You know, you only get to to raw. I don't want to get too overcooked and then I would say it's a good old like smash burger Mustard again, you put a little cheddar on there. Pickles and that's about it. Nobody has any pepper. He left out banana peppers because we didn't like it. Yeah, the best burger fries are at. I would say, see, I haven't tried enough in Miami

to give a tab, so I can't. There's no, no, no. Bucket National Chains though, we don't tried enough in Miami to give a tab. So I can't, there's, I have no, no, no, national chains though. We don't really have. There's one answer. Are you straight up offending Cubans? What are you, what's happening here? I don't think so. Yeah, apparently Cuban burgers really good. I haven't had it yet. Free time.

Yeah. But yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say shake check is the best like national. We got it out of them. Wow. Yeah, thank you gonna say Shake Shack is the best like national. We got it out of them. Wow. Thank you, Jake. And congratulations. Is it your nickname Burger King?

Yeah. Oh, the Burger King's good too. Burger King literally and play a VHS tape armageddon in science class He was the the weird one who would eat an ex-salad sandwich while clipping his toenails into the trash can and running about Ronald Reagan Stoo gots the guy kept talking about how his ass was smooth Ronald Reagan. Stugats! The guy kept talking about how his ass was smooth. Smoother than a newborns cheek. He wouldn't stop bragging about his bare buttics to me.

This is the Don Lebertar Show with the Stugats! Wasted away again in Marzeritaville. Searching for my law shaker of sand. Some people claim that there's a green person the blame. Really? But I'm not a real baby. Damn before the show, the newsroom was buzzing.

Is that what that area is called? It is a crowded, crowded newsroom. I don't know what it is. It is a room that has very rarely any news in it, but it's it is people Talking a lot and eating free bacon. Well, there's bacon today. Oh wow delicious. So anyways, it's on for me in the newsroom People were obviously mourning the loss of Jimmy Buffett as many people were this long weekend labor day weekend And a topic came up and I'm curious what your thoughts are on this. Someone posited, is that the right word?

Someone posited that Jimmy Buffett may have a larger long-term cultural impact than Elvis Pressley. Didn't you say that? I was the someone that said that. I remember that that's what that's asked. Why would you say that? Well, so this is my thought process on. I was thinking about that said that's it. But that's a nice one. Why would you but why would you say that? Well, so this is my thought process on I was thinking about it over the weekend and I almost put on a poll, but I didn't want to put on the poll right after he passes away

who is more culturally relevant Elvis or Jimmy Buffett, but here's the thing. You were trying to celebrate him. You're trying to point that to America that a real icon has died here and you should take notice. No one had an imprint of Key West on him and this region more as a performer than Jimmy Buffett. Well Jimmy Buffett somehow became more representative of a way of life. Yeah. Then he was as a musician, right? And he's branched out he has his Landshark beer, he had Landshark Stadium for his short time, and then there's Margaritaville hotels and restaurants. There's one Graceland, you know what I mean?

And that's like, people visit, is that even exciting when you step into a Margaritaville? You have a drink, you know, you fins up and everybody's happy, Graceland sees it. Yes, it's kind of sad. I saw someone jumped in Elvis's pool. No one under 60. Is that Graceland? Exactly right. I can tell you Grac Elvis's pool. No one under 60 is at Graceland.

Exactly right. I can tell you Graceland is one of the saddest places on earth. See? And I mean, just no disrespect to Elvis. Put that on the pole. Get on the pole, please, Judeo-Atlet, Levitatio is Graceland one of the saddest places on earth. I have been there.

I know, but they're going to be handling that place. There have got to be for him too. He's sad there. He's perfect for you. I know. It's're gonna be handling that place. Sir, it's for him to, he's sad there. He's sad there. I know. It's like a, what, handling? You're in 1971 when you go to that place. It hasn't changed.

It's moldy and mildew. It is a assenine, assenine, to say that because he has a chain of bars that Jimmy Buffett will have more to control. A longer legacy, a longer legacy than Elvis. I think, I think that that's not crazy. I never thought I would agree with that when he first said it, but upon rumination, I think Billy's exactly right.

I feel like we're a little prisoner of the moment. No, no, no, we're no. No, and Billy posted that poll right after he had passed away. Jimmy Buffett would have won. But time has passed. I'm as fast. But that is that is a certain bias. Yes.

Yes. But just think Dan, we 50 years down the road. Are you going to be hanging out a margarita bill restaurant? Are you going to Graceland? You know what I mean? Billy, I will no longer entertain this foolishness. I feel like the property brothers or someone need to go and like do something with Graceland. You know what I mean?

Like flip or flop it. Do something updated a little. It needs a facelift. Exactly right. I'm serious. 50 years from now damn will be a hundred and five i mean uh... i will look like elvis at forty dying on a toilet eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich

bill is a hundred percent right uh... the the lifestyle that jimmy buffet represents is universal i think he i think jimmy buffett was more beloved in this country than Elvis ever was Elvis was a Ever was What happened what has happened here is a travesty I'm lining up behind Billy on it is offensive. Okay, I don't It's just a question that I was asking. I don't love your army. Look at this photo of Margaritaville. Look at that. Look at that. And compare that to Graceland. I don't want to put the video to you, Ma. I'm just laughing.

I'm laughing. That's lemon tart show. Put it on the pole. There's an airplane inside of that building. Is Margaritaville? Is Margaritaville? Does it have a more lasting legacy than Elvis? Did you ever go to an Elvis concert, Dan? No, that's a dumb question. Did you ever go to a Jimmy Buffett concert? No, of course. Really? What? That they'll say green person, the blame.

Really? No, I'm not the real villain, baby. I went to one, you know, he performed with his shoes off the whole time. Yeah, always. I've been to a dozen. My wife and I are huge Buffett fans, not to the parent head level but just below that yeah and he always performs barefoot that's a third of the charm the outpouring was odd to me like I realized Jimmy

Buffett was popular I did not realize he was that popular where Peter Jacobson a golfer is tweeting out pictures of himself people love a dead person people too people love a dead person yeah we'll read People love a dead person. Wait, I wrote you the first time. Put it on the pole, please, that love it to our show. Do people love a dead person? It is, it is, it is a little unseemly where you get out there with your rest in peace, but it's just like, here's me with the icon back when he was living.

It, the way we hit look. But I don't wanna be like comparison to people who passed, wait, no one did it for the smash mouth, can I? No, some people did it for the. Some people. Some people. It's not as not as it's not the same though agreed. Hey, no, you're an old star. Nobody was singing that you were singing Margaritaville. I sang it once over the weekend. They could be honest with you. And then everybody else is like, you know what? I'm not going to be the Margaritaville person. I'm going to be the come Sunday person. And there's always going to be some Monday. Monday. That's the one. I'm not gonna be the Margarita Villarreal person. I'm gonna be the come Sunday person and there's always gonna be some Monday. Monday, that's the one. I'm just distraught still.

Sunday was a come Sunday was his earlier hit. Come Monday was a big hit. His first big hit. I remember that song. He's just singing to my wife. Good to know. Yeah. Baby. It'll be alright come Monday. Big Buffett fan great influence on on me on my lifestyle I was drinking the land shark beer over the weekend. He wouldn't stop telling people about it. Hey, I'm drinking this That's how he agrees Jimmy

That's his public dreaming is hey look. I'm consuming his liquids guys We all grieving our own ways. It's not a big deal Can I ask you why you made the distinction of not a parrot head? Like why did you, you're a big fan, but not there. You drew a line. Okay. Okay. Anybody who's a Buffett parrot head knows what I mean.

The parrot heads are the top tier of Buffett fandom. That'd be like someone trying to call themselves a dead head and who really is it? Exactly. That's a good analogy. You're either a dead head, you're either a parrot head, or you're not. We are in the tier just below parrot heads. We're the sub parrot head category where we're huge Buffett fans.

I was leafing through my Buffett albums this morning. Leafing it? I actually have, I think, five or six Buffett albums, but we're huge fans. We've seen them a dozen times. We're a bunch of weird sub parrot head fans. We don't do the whole dress up thing with a shark thing. And you know, come on.

Didn't you want, if I remember correctly, your last show for Jimmy Buffett to perform live? It's been a lovely cruise. Oh man, that's my outro. That's, you know, as my casket is being lowered. Jesus, you know, I've been cremated a week before, but we'll do the casket thing just for show. And as my casket is being lowered,

we have to casket, yeah, it'll be, you know. Just for show, we're gonna do it. Well, what's the redundancy there? You know, I mean, we're gonna put on a public display. Yeah, naturally. Well, people will want a more in you publicly. So you have to have something for the day. But that's my song, as we're gonna put on a public display yeah naturally well people want more new publicly so you have to have something for that but that's my song as we're being lowered

uh... we're gonna play uh... lovely crews but you're not being lowered anywhere you're not in there i know that people don't know that yeah they don't they won't yeah so what do you do with the i just announced it i guess what do you do with the ashes um you know i'm a lovely cruise exactly maybe we'll throw them uh... over my wife or throw him overboard. I would have soon. And she's nicking with her new husband. Oh, nicking.

No idea. I have a color tree. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That fall lovely days in a manelays. He was an underrated, you know, everybody thinks that Jimmy Buffett has bare feet and

clips on music and steel drums. He was an underrated songwriter. I was listening to a song in his called Pirate looks at 40. Beautiful lyrics. He could write a song, that guy. He didn't have the best voice in the world. I don't know enough about guitar playing to know whether he was a good great guitarist, but he was an underrated lyricist.

He really was. And a big heat fan as well. I kicked out of a game, right? I think he did, right? Yeah, against the next. Yeah. Nacking. Well, against the next. Yeah. Nacking.

Well, Nacking. Nacking. Nacking. People used to say that. Yeah. My grandparents have said that. See? You know, people my age.

You know, when you were teenagers, you know, you were nacking. I want to play some video. You were lucky. I want to play some video for the audience here just so that they can get the full experience of what my Tuesdays are. Because it's not just that magic that Billy and Greg Cody just gave you. It's why Mike Ryan has gone crazy and now needs a mental break. I don't know where he's at, but it's just to get away from another one.

What happens on Tuesdays. But look, as I try to rain in Stugots as well Stugots got very passionate earlier in the show and I want you guys to watch here what it is that happen and explain to me please what it is that spews from the bow they gave up 40 points. It's one game they beat TCU and a quarter point. Grinola bar. That looks like a pebble. A pebble. It looks like a bit a chunk of saliva. There it is. You know, when I got my teeth pulled out last week, Dan, I got them extracted the wisdom teeth. They told me that things would come out of my mouth and not to be alarmed. Okay. And so perhaps that was some stitches. I have no idea. I don't believe

you. Can you guys put for the remainder of the show in the corner of the screen there, uh, stugots with a piece of white? What is that? Lucy? Any theories on what that is? Is it saliva? Is it hardened dry mouth saliva? What is that fight? Where are you making me guess? Because I'd like the room to participate in what it is that I'm doing here. And I don't want to just be by myself

making fun of the pebble out of Stugat's mouth. It's his life. His life is leaving his body right now. I think it's a little chip of tooth. Right. All we do. Or cocaine. Or a piece of rice.

Those are my two guesses. As a show, we really didn't do much with that. It seemed like something pretty good was good, but you guys wanted to do it. I almost threw up. Yeah, yeah. I had a chip of tooth and a piece of rice I get my job and I don't improve down lebertar show with the stugats gamble on by draft Kings

Don lebertard I'm so fat! I'm so fat! I'm so fat! Please don't hurt me! I'm so fat! Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me!

Please don't hurt me! Stugats! I always like leaving my hand on the chicken. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha show with this two gods. The spending habits of metal art media as it regards this show I have found to be sloppy and insufficient. We basically just pay to send people to go do fun things and vacation and enjoy sporting events and sometimes make content and sometimes not as as opposed to case, and a mean and Tony and whatever they did at the NBA All-Star game that still hasn't been explained to me

that was them stealing the company's money. But we are now bringing in a new and better type of employee, hungry about sports, hungry about climbing in this industry, and hungry about dominating college football. Her enthusiasm for this sport frightens me. All of you, comparatively, who work on this show, get inside as sports fans compared to how she feels about college football. Maybe Roy's Panthers allegiances that he tries to hide in objectivity as a journalist.

Maybe Cody's homerism when it comes to the dolphins, but Lucy cares about college football in a way that's unreasonable thrill, right? I don't know if it's a career highlight or not, but to be able to go to the FSU LSU game, you look like you were really excited and in your element. I don't think LSU FSU would be the career highlight. She just loves being around the start of college football. She would prefer to be an Iowa football game, but she just was, she was just happy,

just happy to be around college football in some form. You looked delighted, you weren't faking it, were you? Oh, I had the absolute best time. We got to tailgate, we got to see what was a okay first half and a blowout second half. I was awesome. It was so much fun. We were in Orlando at the camping world stadium game time.

God is like phenomenal seats. It ended up being a lot of fun. LSU FSU fans, they're psycho. We actually have a video from it. All right. So it's a dump, right? Oh, it was awful. Yeah, it was impossible to get out of that stadium.

But these are the seats we got. Game time hooked us up, which is nice. I would love to go to more games game time. Cough cough, listen, listen. OK, yeah, you should go every weekend if you want to. Let's get to- Oh, I do want to. Let's get some video here from Taylor. You guys go to Florida, St.

Do. Yes. Yeah. Go to the polls. How do you feel about Deon Sanders? I'm not going to lie to you. I have no idea who that is. Whoa.

That's the coach. No. Yeah, I was pretty scared to let go of those hackers, I used to be very good at doing that ball. I'm from down the bayou too. Go, my DIGGERS, LET'S GO! Okay Dan Levitard, we love your show.

Lifeguard Lou coming at you live from Orlando. Alright, finish the sentence, suck that. Tiger, can you guys do a cojo impression? He's far over out of control his last year and I can tell you some stories, but he's out of control. I would like to hear those stories. He's never gonna coach again. Look here, great day out of here, Orlando.

Tiger's coming to war. Give it a go, tag! But as far as this game goes, this is going to be the greatest, most anticipated game of the season. And I think that it is rated perfectly, not way to perform here. But I think it should be rated higher because whoever wins this game, national championship, bound, absolutely, absolutely.

Tigers are at FSU, gonna be the best team of the nation on my mother's life. On my mother's life, I put that on. Because Jordan Tribe is dog, Harold Perkins, dog, Jake Daniels, dog. All their episode receivers, dogs, all of them. Do you have a most overrated coach in College football? Most overrated coach.

Man. Yeah, it's got to be Mario Christobal. It has to be. That's for you, Batard. What do you think of Ryan Kelly? Ryan Kelly. I like Ryan Kelly. I just did not, because I hate Notre Dame.

What? Ryan Kelly, he fits. Cultural fit. He faked an accident. That's okay with me. That's not a cultural fit. He can do whatever he wants really. As long as you keep winning games, you can do whatever you want.

Another day, never gave him the right resources because they were like, you have to have a good GPA to get here. All kind of stuff like that. Now he's at a real football school. He's gonna win at least three natties, and he's gonna get us to the promised land. Do you need a good GPA to go to LSU? Not at all.

You're gonna score the football! No! I'm not even gonna score the football. Do you guys go to LSU? No! Go to LSU! Yeah! All right, good GPA, babe, you know. You know.

So my first question, do you know who Baby Groan is? Yeah, do you like Baby Groan? No. Are you subwashed in Love It Tarts every day at school? Is this Dan? Yeah! This is the Dan Love It Tarts show. This is the Dan Love It Tarts show!

I got it! Oh my god! Is this legit? Yeah! This is the Dan Love It Tarts show? He is my boss! Do you watch the Dan Loveittar show with Sue Gods? Do I watch the what?

The Dan Levittar show with Sue Gods. I do not, I'm sorry, I do not know what that is. The Dan... Dan Hussho? The TARD will not stand for this. Lifeguard Lua, I want that guy on the show. Is it true that one of those women slurring about Ed Orgeron sexually harassed Taylor by grabbing his ass?

Yes, that is true. I did not see it happen. He just came up to me after and was like, um, I was just sexually assaulted. But he kept going. I was you. Can I be the best team of the nation? That kid was amazing. His middle name is Sabin. Wow. His parents didn't think Nick Sabin would leave LSU. Jordan tribe is dog. Dog.

I hope her again dog. Jane Daniels dog. All their all episodes receivers. Dog. I enjoy the first couple of weeks of the season when nobody knows anything. And you know, way, Baylor's gonna be good, right? They're favored by three touchdowns. What happened? Texas State has 50 new players, huh? What does that mean?

Why wasn't familiar with their work? What do you mean Texas State has? What do you know they got 50 new players? How'd they do that? Oh, they just ran Baylor off the field. This is gonna be the greatest, most anticipated game of the, they got 50 new players. How do they do that? Oh, they just ran Bailor off the field. This is going to be the greatest most anticipated game of the season. I do think incidentally, Sturgatso, I don't think it's a Mirage. I think Clemson's going to be bad for a while and I think LSU might be okay, but FSU is going to be okay. FSU's got a lot of athletes.

And Colorado's going to be the next five national championships, right? Well, let me see where you are on this as you spit or you spit or teat. No, I want to pin you down on where you are since since you want to be the guy today. Like I am fascinated by this person because it sucks as a position. Mike Ryan has fled the premises. He was telling us how bad Colorado is for football. He scared of them because he's Miami and he was soaked in bias. And that, whatever that is, that ain't good for the sport but it's wonderful for the

content industry. Like, it can't be good for the sport. That never mind about education. Fifty new dudes. Okay, I'm going to go to TCU and beat your championship team. But the worst thing in sports is being the fan who consumes this and is on the hating side of that story. If you're still there the next day, you're on the wrong side of what's happening with Colorado because they had the story of the weekend.

You can be the sports critic if you want to be, but they had the story of the weekend. If you don't want to eat it today, it's just because you're stubborn. I'm not eating anything because we played a montage before of everyone who doubted Dianne before the season started. And if you notice, there was one voice not on that montage and that voice was mine. I'm okay with everything that happened over the weekend with the exception of the post game reaction where Dianne won the game by himself. There didn't seem to be enough credit given to the kids who were actually on the field

making a lot of plays. That's all I'm saying. But you said that, and I believe the Travis Hunter became a Heisman candidate in a half, a half of nationally televised football. There's no way that can maintain 130 snaps in a game is insane. Like that's not healthy. That doesn't last. But the made for television thing the college football is to get, it breaks apart because

everybody's grabbing at the money. You just had a star turn. This is what the coach can do for you. Yes. The this he just in the halftime interview he's saying, Dan Sanders, when do you hear coach say that game once to got? If not for a couple of deep balls, the Heisman would already be chilling at his house. There are new rules in play.

If this guy gets to win, it's going to scare the holy hell out of everybody in college football.
