The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: The Cowboys, The Coffee Table, and The Weekend Observations

Episode Date: November 25, 2024

Before we get to Stugotz's Weekend Observations, we need to discuss the upcoming launch of his new Personal Record Book. Dan also proposes how Jerry Jones should have handled Mike McCarthy while Terry McLaurin was streaking down the sideline late in the 4th quarter. Then, after Mike scars Stugotz with details of the movie "The Coffee Table," Stu delivers his Weekend Observations including commentary on the SEC, The Game, the Florida Gators, night games in Tempe, Jaxson Dart, Deion Sanders, something brewing in Carolina, and snot rockets. Plus, Stugotz's Top 5 Basketball Players If They Were Jewish and the Top 5 Things Stugotz Can't Resist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

only at Starbucks. Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard 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, fat face and the habitual liar. As we celebrate 20 ridiculous years together I will tell

you that I do not believe that Stugats has any segment that is more popular. Do I have this wrong in 20 years? Then weekend observations, like your most popular segment is either that or Wake and Take, right? I think it was that, Wake and Take, or maybe the restaurant reservations, which I'm actually planning on doing one coming up here soon

because it's anniversary time, Dan. Nice, okay, well, we are going to celebrate Stugatz here in a moment with what is his, the most featured bit, and I will say that tomorrow is a giant day in our history, and I don't want to just skip past it because we've been talking about it for a while. This book is a real thing, and Stugats wants it to be a New York Times bestseller and we want it to be a New York Times bestseller and it launches tomorrow. Like the pre-orders are crazy already, all sorts of gifts to the people who have gotten in early, but this thing is happening. I've seen the book. It

exists and tomorrow it's no longer a broken promise. It's not it's not a lie anymore This is a very real thing Stu got beginning tomorrow is going to officially be a published author Most of the material is borrowed from his author friends. Not most of it just about all of it Yeah, I would say ninety nine point five percent of it Regardless the book is gonna come out tomorrow.'re going to celebrate that tomorrow in a big way. I am super grateful to Dan Stantek because if not for him, this book doesn't get done. So I am grateful to him. All the people that contributed to this book and all the people on social media, I was moved over the weekend to see how many listeners actually purchased the book. So I thank you very, very much. Tomorrow is going

to be a very exciting day. What just happened there? I don't know, I got caught up in the air. I have weekend observations coming up. There's a lot going on in my head right now. I had a stroke, all that stuff. So listen, I just wanna say, 20th year, I was moved over the weekend.

It was nice, it was a relaxing weekend. The Jets weren't playing. I watched former Jets perform and excel all over the NFL, Sam Darnold, Geno Smith, just to name a few. And I really had some time to reflect on the last 20 years and what this audience means to me. And this audience means everything to me. So thank you. It is very cool. Billy doesn't seem to believe you at all. He seems to be skeptical back there about whether the... Not at all. He always is. Oh, well. That's not true. Before we get to weekend observations, I will say I don't know that I've had a bigger surprise

all year, anywhere in my life, than Stu Gott showing up for that Flanagan's thing. So he does... About the same about you. He does genuinely appreciate, you know know the expectations for us are different I arrived after the first quarter Dan where were you you're late who gots arrives at all giant celebration throughout the parking lot The expectations are different you figured it out, buddy like you have a load you have the game played perfectly because Tell me I was not the only one you guys have had a big give me a bigger surprise

That you guys have had Mike's experience with the coffee table might be one No surprises match that The movie the coffee table Anthony Jessel neck tells you I found this movie to be a laugh riot and I smile the entire way that should be a pretty Big red flag right damn, but I've been you, because Billy and I have been making the tour around the United States. We've gone to Kansas City, we've gone to Chicago, Arizona.

I went to Detroit-ish. And I am telling you, the outpouring from the fans during our 20th year is something you need to experience, and I'm glad you had the chance to do so last week. That's why I went. I wanted to talk to our fans. Our fans have been great to us and chance to do so last week. That's why I went. I wanted to talk to our fans.

Our fans have been great to us and loyal to us for 20 years. So tomorrow we're gonna ask for more of that loyalty as Stugats tries to butter you up. Before we get to weekend observations, would anyone have had any objection? Because I would have done this. I'm not saying that I'm better than Jerry Jones

about anything when it comes to how it is you get publicity for your vehicle but yesterday as McLaurin is running down the field when he's got 11 Cowboys in coverage and they've got no timeouts If I were Jerry Jones, I would have run on the field and fired McCarthy before McLaurin got into the end zone. I would have made sure that I announced to the press before he ran those last 50 yards, McCarthy is fired right now. I don't care that they won the game.

During the return, you cannot have that happen at the end of a football game when the other team has no timeouts and they have to go 80 yards that does not, I'm, that's a zero, zero score first quarter. It needs to be the last play of your career. That's it. You can't work for me anymore. It can't be that what the Washington commanders did is their best player threw it to their second best player and he ran 80 yards untouched. No, no fired. Leave. Don't pick up your things! I'll throw them on the front yard! Get out of here! Never to work again! I'd prefer to never see you again!

Why do you throw? I know our families are friends. I know we all love each other. You leave the facility and I never want to see you again. But you're the owner and you're going to his house and you're taking his clothes and you're throwing them on the front No, I threw all his coaching things out of his office But yes, if he had done that I would have not convicted Jerry Jones for personally doing that as well You can't It's a big surprise that that player threw it to that player. I Would have fired him for winning I mean It's a bad wit

Nothing can prepare you for the turn this movie takes nothing Nothing, it needs a trigger warning just to talk about the synopsis So you saw a movie recommended look Mike you have a lot of things going on and you do not put things at the front of the list for your consumption. You just watched the coffee table, the movie, because Anthony Jezelnik thought it was a laugh riot? It was on my list.

I saw like all these aggregated top 10 lists, top 10 horror suspense movies of the last few years and the coffee tables always talked about, but I always found it curious the way that people spoke about it because they're like, we can't tell you what happens in this movie. And I understand it, even though it's very much the central plot line. People don't wanna talk about the central plot line

in the movie and I understand because it's unlike anything you've ever seen in a movie. I had to, for the first time in my life, stop a movie, not because I was tired, but because I needed to give myself a break from the tension that was building in this film. It's an unbelievable film, but you should look into it if you've had certain things happen in your life

and see if you even wanna give this thing a, there's a pretty big spoiler if you Google what this movie is about. If you're in, trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg. All right, we'll continue to talk around this, but there's only one time in my life that this has ever happened to me during a movie, where I had to turn it off, and I'm like,

and it's not Midsommar or one of those there are plenty of disgusting movies I have seen It was Ryan Reynolds spent the entire thing Buried in a coffin alive trying to get out and it became so claustrophobic To me that I had to turn it off I couldn't continue to watch what I was watching. You're saying this thing has such disturbing material, it's not claustrophobia, such disturbing material that you, who takes an Anthony Jeselnik

resume recommendation when he's dark comedy and he's telling you this is a laugh riot, and he's telling you that this is going to be super strange, you immediately go listen to it and couldn't watch it. Had to stop. I watched three movies yesterday, well two and a half. I watched Gladiator 2, I watched Wicked, and to end my night, I started watching The Coffee Table.

And I had to stop watching The Coffee Table because of what it was making me feel. It's a great movie. It's a great premise for a movie. It's also highly disturbing and could be triggering for those in our audience. If you want, I can tell you in your ear what this movie is about.

And you will, I think, react to both of them. Well, I can't believe that none of us have heard of it. And I can't believe that all of us are staring at you and there isn't even a curiosity that I can see among the group of like, tell me more about what this premise is. Because you've got me curious now that you don't even feel comfortable talking about it because you're not squeamish.

So like you go in, what was that, what was that salt burn movie that you were talking about? That movie was great. Okay, but that's got some plot twists. That's got discomfort. This is uncomfortable. This is not overly gory. That's got discomfort. This is uncomfortable. It's not overly gory.

It's what you don't see that really stays with you. It's about the situation that this married couple finds itself in. The reason why you haven't heard of it is because it's a Spanish language film. This is one that's getting around by word of mouth. And everybody

pretty much has the same reaction to the central plot line of this film, which is really rough, really rough. So what are you proposing? Saying it into our ears and we decide from there? Here, I'll tell you in your ear, and you tell me if you have any interest in it. Don't spoil it though.

Yeah, come over here, I'll whisper it, I'll go over there. Okay, yeah, come here. All right, in the interim, and we will get to the weekend observations in a moment. Love a game of telephone. Billy, are you interested at all in this movie? Oh no.

Because Mike's, he's taking the recommendation. Anthony Jeselnik, it's been a very popular South Beach Session. People appreciate his brand of comedy, and he's got a following that is unusually loyal, and he's one of the legends in the game and so the South Beach Session has been very popular. Mike Ryan watched it, which he never does, at least in part because he loves Jeselnik so much and the people who follow Jeselnik, he's got a giant

cult following of loyalists that's uncommon for comedy because they always find him telling the truth away from comedy. I've been meaning to ask you, and it's probably better to ask you off air, but we're here now. When you interviewed David Allen Greer, how did you not laugh? Because he was dressed like a train conductor. You thought I should have just laughed at his overalls? I walked by a TV and I was like,

what is going on right now? Because it wasn't just the overalls, there was like a kerchief around his neck as well, right? Like, what was going on there? around his neck as well, right? What was going on there? I don't know. You didn't ask, you weren't curious? Well, what would you have asked?

You asked, how was the train ride over here, something like that. What do you ask? I was taking a back. I asked him an hour's worth of questions about an assortment of different things. None of which related to trains. But none of them was about trains,

none of them was about kerchiefs. I'm just watching Mike tell Stugatz this movie and Stugatz is like shaking his head like I am. I don't wanna see this. Yeah, Stugatz. I want nothing to do with this movie. I mean. Watching Stugatz get that information was hilarious.

Nope, nope, nope. Dan. Do you know what it is, Dan? No, I do not. All right, Stugatz, see you tell Dan in his ear And I asked a question. I know nothing about is it kid related. Ooh hot cold game. I love this Listen, it's I don't want to see it related. Okay, it's bad stuff with a kid. I'm out It's no one wants to see this nobody in fact, Mike probably regrets watching it in the first place I'm sure he hasn't watched all of it. Well, I mean, why would you I'm gonna finish it?

No, you won't. None of you have seen Buried with Ryan Reynolds? None of you? Buried a lot, yeah. I don't think that people go to movies to feel bad. I would say I like to go to movies to just feel, or like to watch movies to just feel, but I don't think that most people want to feel bad watching a movie.

I think when the plot gets going in this film, you would rather actually be buried alive than vicariously live through this situation that this couple is in. All right, put the train conductor on the screen right now. There it is, Billy. Now look at it. Are you happy, Billy?

Are you happy? There you go. I'm just saying, it never came up. It never came up. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything about his overalls or his kerchief. I did not. Was he promoting his new doctor show? Cause like he should have gone in scrubs.

He was, he was promoting his new doctor show. He did not come in scrubs. That's what he came in. That would have been more sense. A lab coat, anything. Hey DraftKings fans.

Belichick has done nothing since Brady left. He made the playoffs once. I think at the very least, he should not be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

They should make him wait like 10 years to get it. He's an overrated coach. This is the Don Lebatatar Show with Stu Gatz. Let's do Stu Gatz's weekend observations. Don't see the movie, Dan. It is time for Stu Gatz to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy Stu.

I gotta be honest, I'm not certain I could do him. I'm rattled. Not the greatest judgment by us to rattle Stu Gatz right before his featured segment not great producing I mean what Mike whispered in my ear that should never be whispered in anyone's ear I mean not great producing

wow I needed somebody gosh let me ask you a question Chris Cody executive producer should we table this for coffee table this for a second so that Stugats could gather himself these take work this this takes an effort, he's performing, it's the most expectations he has with the segment.

Do we need to stand down for a second and continue the show because we have left him in disarray? I say we push through. Weekend observations, brought to you by Miller Lite. Great taste, just 96 calories available for delivery. Man. Man. Whew. Tough day.

Din! The last decade or so has been difficult on the book industry. Really, if I'm being honest, and I never am, the last decade or so has been tough on the written word in general. But Dan, this week, this week, there is hope. Because Dan, if I could do it, anyone could do it. My name is on the cover of a book that was written by Dan Stanzek and published by Random

House. And man are they selling like crazy. And Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it. For the first time ever here on Weekend Observations. Yes! Books are back! Yes! StuGotsBook.com It has happened. It is going to happen some more in 24 hours.

Just don't put the book on a coffee table. I never want to hear about a coffee table again. Ever. Now I'm more curious. Now I want to watch it. Don't be. I want to watch it more than I wanted to watch it when Jezelnik recommended it. I love a good helmet sticker.

Put on the poll, Juju at Levitage showed. Do you love a good helmet sticker? Dan, you know what the S, I'm sorry, you know what the C in SEC stands for? I do not. I was thinking coffee table, but... That's all you're thinking now. Chaos, yes. It is a bit of chaos It stands for chaos. There is going to be a seven loss SEC team in the in the playoffs Yeah, who does Harvard and Yale think they are calling their game the game? I?

Mean it's not the game. It's the game that no one cares about You got destiny you're saying that Harvard and Yale might be arrogant no What is this game that you cares about? The audacity you're saying that Harvard and Yale might be arrogant. No that they would think their game is the only game I forgot it was rattle coffee. No Pablo does plenty of

annoying things telling people how often he went to an Ivy League score school is high among them. Night game in Tempe. Tricky. Dan, you know what the T in Tempe stands for? Tricky. Good guess, but no. I understand why you would guess that, but it stands for tough place to play. When they're good. Really, you already set a trap for me and I went right into it. Yep Reminder the New York Giants picked Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley Bo Nix tried to tell you Dan you starting to believe Did you try to tell us I did

You did yeah, okay you believing What are they seven and five yep wild card team I will tell you something that came over me yesterday that I was surprised by watching the end of that game. Oh, I trust Bo Nicks more than I do Minshew. Oh, yeah. Minshew's a veteran and I trust a rookie more than I trust. I was surprised by that.

I was surprised it swept over me during Raiders Broncos. You can't spell miss the playoffs without the MISS in Mississippi. That's a bad loss. It's a terrible loss. Don't look now but the Florida Gators may have found themselves a quarterback. Mike Ryan, look at Mike Ryan got his back up when I said I was a bad loss. It's the best best win on Miami's entire schedule is that Florida win I was a bad loss. It's the best win on Miami's entire schedule is that Florida win. It keeps getting better. It keeps getting better over the last month.

Not so easy to go in as a ranked team into the swamp, huh? Okay. Well, but it happened in September. It doesn't count. Right. Dan Stanzek, using my idea, my takes, my name and my relationships, which are really Dan's relationships to write a book Stanzic I'm proud of you and

This Stu gots is strong in you Stu gots book.com. It's happening people. It's happening Indiana played their way out of the playoffs and the SEC play them back in It's crazy what What happened? That is what happened. Yes, they started the day in then they were out and then they were back in. What a day for Indiana. Are you guys with me

at all on the fact that I would have liked to have seen those two special teams touchdowns? I'd like to have seen a different game from Indiana. I think people are going to dismiss them too easily. Dan, you can't spell in the playoffs without the I N in Indiana

Are we sure CJ Stroud is good? Hmm he's getting sacked a lot. Yeah, he's throwing a lot of bad interceptions getting sacked a lot I think those two things go together. I mean, maybe he's got an eco back Things go together I think I think your game gets a lot worse. He wasn't hit all that much the first season. It was weird. It might be time to stop asking if something's off in Kansas City and start asking if something is brewing in

Carolina. No. Oh. No. Come on. I got a feeling they're turning things around. How about that? You got a feeling? Yeah. See what I did there. Panthers, best loss by any team this season. And maybe ever.

That actually gets him in the CFP. Bryce Young has been upgraded from a pulse to a heartbeat. What? Bryce Young might be good, man. Come on. Dan, I'm telling you what happened yesterday is your court, it's the perfect scenario for Carolina yesterday. You hung with Kansas City. You didn't win the game. You don't want to win the game. Bryce Young

left too much time for Patrick Mahomes, but that's okay because you didn't want to win the game. And maybe you have a quarterback. That's a productive day for Carolina. What's above a heartbeat in this situation? I don't know. That's a good question, Roy. I don't know why you laughed so much, but I don't... I've never heard that before. It's an asinine thing to say. Put it on the poll, please, at Leviton Show.

Did Bryce Young go from pulse to heartbeat? Mm-hmm. I feel better about my bet. If you have a pulse, don't you have a heartbeat? Yeah. Yeah, you like this one? Yeah. What happened there?

If you have a pulse, you have a heartbeat. Correct. Correct, if you have a pulse, you have a heartbeat. Correct. If you have a heartbeat, you have a pulse. Yeah, but I mean pulses can be tricky and deceiving. They can be. It depends on the pulse. I don't think you actually upgraded anything there. I think Bryce Young is still in the same state

that he was in before. So are the Panthers. Everything is the same as it was before. Nothing has changed just because they played Kansas City close as everyone has. You haven't heard about the coffee table yet. All right. I mean, cut me some slack. Okay, fair enough. I feel better about my bet if my team gets the ball at halftime If my team gets the ball to start the game it might as well be a loss

Rip up the tickets You're afraid of the first position in a second. I wish I could only I wish I could make bets after the coin toss Put it on the pole, please. Jujuatleviton show. Do you wish you could make bets after the coin toss? Technically you can be, you gotta be quick. Deon Sanders said, we lost because we didn't play Colorado football. No Deon. You lost because you played Colorado football. Finally, someone talking about Deon Sanders. All it took was a loss. Mike, did you pick Kansas? Put the town on alert.

Oh yeah, third straight, double unit, put the town on alert, rock chalk. Man, I'm locked into that team. Mike was telling you all week, he was warning, he was shouting it from the mountains. Look, Kansas has been playing better lately. Can't just go on the road and win college football games anymore.

Yeah. Did you see that Kansas had a punter that was celebrating senior day? He's from Australia, his parents flew 21 hours to watch him and they didn't punt. Wow. That's unfortunate. Saying a manager got sacked is so much better than saying a coach got

fired it is it is you know what is that though it how does that originate is it someone placing a sack over somebody originates mr. walkin I've heard it in the UK it's always like around soccer. And anytime someone's losing a bad game, you'll hear the crowd sing Sacked in the morning. The thing I'm asking you, does it mean taking someone out in a sack? Is that what it means?

I would assume that. Right. Yeah, I don't think it means Max Crosby is getting Jose Mourinho out. Like you move things in a sack, you clean out an office. Is that, okay, I'm sorry to ask so many questions. That's how it originates. In honor of the top Jewish quarterback names,

the top five basketball player names, if they were Jewish. Oh wow, okay. OLI, Victor Wemba-Nyamaka. Oh, that's so good. Number five, Corey Hebrewer. I Victor Wemba Nyamaka number five Corey Hebrew er number four LeBronica James number three Joe Mazza number two Shabbat Napier. Bravo. And number one, Chris Bashershana. I saw an Orthodox Jew plays for Texas A&M. What?

Yeah, I think he's believed to be the first in college football history. He can only actually play. There was only one game he could actually suit up for and play in as a walk on. Yes, because if you're Orthodox, you shut off every you can't do anything the entire weekend essentially hmm Sam Saul's interesting do it against Alabama used to mean something Dallas Cowboys bad win I figured it out the Alabama thing it used to mean something Doing it against Nick Saban. Now you're doing it against Kalen DeBoer. It's a big difference. Big one.

I mean, Oklahoma's bad, correct? Yeah. A bad football team. Not a mediocre football team. Oklahoma's bad. Just their second conference win? And they blow out Alabama. They win by 17 points. Yeah. Alabama can't do anything offensively. Every single team that someone would have ventured to say is the best team in the SEC outside of Georgia lost in embarrassing passion. Every loss in the SEC should count as a quality loss.

No. That was a bad one against Oklahoma, dude. It was, I know. You guys were talking about Kansas. If there was a national championship for the team who plays the best spoiler this year, it would go to Kansas. There? Maybe Florida?

Hmm. But Kansas, they live to play spoiler. Florida, they don't want to play spoiler. They want to be spoiled. There was talk of Billy Napier being Coach of the Year this weekend. Oh, knock it off. He should be. I think Kirk Herbstreit said it. He held the team together.

I mean, they didn't quit on him. So, wait a minute. We were going from talking about his buyout four games in. Come on. Okay, we're going to fast forward all of the employment status that way, that you go from what's the buyout four games in to coach of the year five games later. Hmm, interesting. Billy Napier, should win coach of the year. People are talking about it.

LSU Ole Miss, I mean, They're clicking at the right time. Ole Miss the playoffs. You are sunshine today, Billy. You are a voice of positivity today. If we got rid of kickers, would anyone be that upset? Got rid of them like in a purge? Well, no, they could still live.

Okay. Just eliminate them. Just the position. the the the the the the the the the You can take Arizona State out of the pack 12, but you can't take the pack 12 out of

Arizona State. Mo Salah, if I looked like that, I'd also take my shirt off when I scored a goal. Holy cow. Mo Salah. whoo Jackson dart was going to end that game with an interception and would not be denied It looked like that yeah USC UCLA classic Big Ten matchup College football's we I do love how screwed it up it is It's so good. It is so good that any weekend you're watching it's just like everybody can lose.

Yeah. I think it's just everybody can lose. Crazy. I can't resist a good snot rocket on a golf course. I mean golf courses are like heaven for snot rockets, right? I mean there's very few things that get you right more than a snot rocket. I can see media. Put it on the poll.

It's like a Bloody Mary. At Levitard Show, are golf courses heaven for a snot rocket? Top five things I can't resist. Number five, the Dolphins is heavy favorites at home against the bad team. Pfft. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. I can't do it. Number four, a goof parlay. Pfft. So wait, the Dolphins are what the Chiefs used to be

where you still believe in their offense enough that you will never trust getting points against them. Yeah, against the bad team though. Against the bad ones. Yeah. Your hope is they do what they did yesterday. What is the goof parlay you've told us before? It's just a wacky parlay, you know,

a couple of different teams and over catches, you know, something just, you know, like a $10 parlay that wins you like $10,000. That's never gonna come in. If I'm loading up my betting slate for the day and I have $10 left on my account, that $10 is going to be in a parlay that will pay me out approximately $34,000.

Today's gonna be my day. So you gotta go 16 and 0? Something like that. Something like that. Number three, ripping James Franklin. Number two. What's happened there? That's over the last 12 months.

Did you just, you lost Harbaugh because Harbaugh won a championship and you just needed to go and find somebody? Like what, you turned on James Franklin from one day to the next and you've been crushing him for 12 months. Yeah, what happened was Harbaugh won a national championship and then he left.

So you needed to pivot. Okay, you don't want to go after Day? No, I mean. He wins too much. Yeah, I'm nervous for day though right now. I am. I'm nervous for Saturday already for Ryan Day because they play Michigan in the game. That's the real game. So, I'm nervous for Ryan Day, but no, I just James Franklin's my guy. It's him or Lincoln Riley blah blah blah. Number two, a good NBA two-team teaser.

Can't resist it. And number one, a good book. Stugatsbook.com. Here come the flames. They're good. Keep an eye on them. If the committee said they weren't putting George in the playoff based solely on the fact that they were trailing 7-0 to UMass, I'd be okay with it. The Minutemen, Rick Pitino.

Congratulations to Mike Norvell for not having to add another L to his last name. 11 seasons and still no playoff appearances for Jackson Dort. I Think it's just me. I feel like the guy's been around forever. I did love during the UM game Mark Jones saying His ninth year of eligibility. Just hearing that phrase is so good weird time I love a golf ball with a cool logo on it eligibility. Just hearing that phrase is so good. Weird time. I love a golf ball with a cool logo on it. Yeah. Kids riding around on one of those electric bikes got news for you. You're not riding a bike. Electric bikes. Do me a favor. Enough.

Kids riding around on those electric bikes do yourselves a favor Go exercise. Thanks. I Mean Jesus, what are we teaching these kids? Electric bikes ride a bike Spokes and ride a bike. It's a good point. Thank you. So God says dead a Schwinn I mean who gots is dead on on this point. Thank you. Stugats is dead. Get a Schwinn. I mean, Stugats is dead on on this. Mongoose. There are more. There must be so many more hospital visits now because people are riding around on these motorcycle bikes thinking that they're exercising. Do yourself

a favor. Go to the bike store, buy a Huffy, okay? And then ride the bike. How about that? Electric bikes. Huffy. Roy, can you look up for me? How Huffy's doing these days because Great year last year He just summoned a brand from the 1980s that I'm I'm not sure is still around I haven't heard Huffy in a long time Roy they had their best year best year sales year ever last year Check it out bikes.com. I was just there I was there over the weekend because I was thinking about electric bikes and how they're doing in sales. They're not doing that great. But Huffy had a year last year, but I think they make electric bikes. That's the thing. I think you're just lying.

I totally am. I didn't do any of this. Roy, find Huffy for me and tell me how they're doing. Huffy does make electric bikes now. What are we teaching these kids? Ride a bike. CJ Stroud, the Dan Olovsky is strong in you. Dan, you know what the S in CJ Stroud stands for? Safety. Sophomore Slump. I know it sounds crazy but the Titans somehow overcame their

own quarterback to beat the Texans. No, that's exactly what happened. It doesn't sound crazy. That's the Will Levins experience. Players on Notre Dame do it at the Army. Boston College, the rare college football program, whose floor will always be six wins and their ceiling will always be seven wins. No team covers a spread in the fourth quarter quite like Miami Dan you know what Ohio State did on Saturday? No they did but they also reminded everyone that they were Ohio State and that Indiana was still Indiana. That is what they did. Mm-hmm that was the best witching hour of all time sorry Dana. That's okay

that's exactly what they did though. You nailed that one. That's exactly what happened. Wow. We agree on an observation. How about that witching hour? That's one of all time. The games didn't mean anything, but it was awesome. I'm gonna say it again, all right,

for those of you who did not hear me earlier. Me, Chris, and Sturgats are like, no reason to watch these games. And then there's my homes for 33 yards running again to save their 10-in-1 season. The Bears tie it on an onside kick. The Titans have just beaten the Texans. We didn't see that coming.

And the Cowboys and Commanders are scoring four touchdowns in three minutes. Including that turbo turban spin move from a video game, which is, who's crazy enough? You're a sociopath You're to turn your back to charging people on a kickoff Daniel Jones San Francisco 49ers collision course

Sydney Crosby scored his 600th career goal Said the kid sorry Roy Roy he got in a fight I mean... Terrible. Sid got in a fight. He dropped the gloves. Yeah.

It wasn't great, but he dropped the gloves. Mm-hmm. He used to get in one fight a year. Now it's like one fight over two seasons. Right. Respect, though? I mean... No. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

The number one recruit in the country reportedly got 12 million dollars to commit to Michigan. Hell happened to college football. Speaking of hell, or Pryles, Dan, those are the weekend observations. Was Tom Brady involved with that recruitment at Michigan? I saw some reports a lot of people were apparently involved in that it's a bold strategy That's a lot of money for whoo a high school kid Yeah, but that's where this is gonna keep going if you make it no salary cap free market Hey, do you want to get good at college football? That was fun when we won the championship and we were we had Conor Stallions and Jim Harbaugh and everything else. Yeah. 12 million gets us back into that game? Okay that's worth it. But I think Mike is right that is a

bold strategy. I'd rather see the kid play first like what the Canes did with Cam Ward. I'd rather know he's gonna be good than guess if he's gonna be good. You could look at what Tennessee did in that they paid their quarterback a lot of money with the hope that he would be there for four years and you realize that if Tennessee maybe changed their approach and got like a Dylan Gabriel or a Cam Ward, Tennessee is probably a national championship. If I may just real quick because I love this part of it and I understand that we're galloping on like that the sport keeps growing and there are rules but we're kind of

throwing everything we used to do out and doing it differently now you do understand that if boosters think they can actually buy themselves into this game there's no keeping this part of it down like this is anybody who wants to get in the game who wants a quarterback portnoy and tom brady want michigan to to feel like they did two years ago they can throw twelve12 million at that It doesn't cost them like it doesn't cost those people anything. Well two things will change it number one

People will realize that's a lot of money for an 18 year old that gets in the way of building out a team and it's probably Not the best way to spend money I would prefer just keeping my powder dry for the portal and taking something a little bit more proven But that'll work itself out number two is the NCAA is going to get its way. They are gonna get safe harbor status. And so the election kinda almost cemented that.
