The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: The Dan Le Batard Feeding Area

Episode Date: October 9, 2024

We begin this hour by discussing Hurricane Milton and the severity of the storm barreling toward the west coast of Florida. Chris continues to struggle with cursing in front of the children as we discuss the Miami Heat putting Pat Riley's name on the court inside Kaseya Center. What would we name in Dan's honor inside the studios at Meadowlark Media? Plus, Inter Miami continues to dominate Major League Soccer and nobody really seems to care? Also, the new Brad Pitt and George Clooney movie is a flop, Sugar is coming back, Mike Ryan falls asleep during great games and Greg Cote is still genuinely mad at the show.

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Decisions, decisions. Wait a minute. Are you still looking for cars on Carvana? Yeah. Decisions, decisions. When I used Carvana, I found the exact car I was looking for in minutes. Bought it on the spot. Electric or full diesel? Decisions?

Whether you know exactly what you want or like to take your time, buy your car the convenient way with Carvana. 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. We are always amazed and overwhelmed when we ask the audience for money. We try not to do it very often but we're telling you at the moment that a lot of people are about to need a lot of help all over Florida. So where you go is donate.wck.org slash lebatard if you want to get out in front of helping people so that very quickly rescuers and workers can get on the ground and help a lot of people who are about to need a lot of help all over South Florida because I have not seen in my lifetime 12 to 15 feet of storm surge. This is the ocean coming to grab and consume land and

cities and cars in a way that's going to really destroy some places when Milton visits over the next 36 hours. And there's still some crazy people out there who aren't heeding the warnings and this is not overstatement, it's not hyperbole, wherever it is you stand on climate change this is the mayor of Tampa telling everybody in the sternest possible terms that you need to get out of some of these evacuation zones you can't ride one of these out because you have throughout the history of South Florida the way these storms are changing the forecasters don't have an ability to navigate the

new normal and what is coming here is unlike anything that has been seen in this lifetime so let's hear from Tampa's mayor here in the most blunt terms what would you say to people tonight who are saying you know what I'm gonna ride this out I've written others out well what would you say to people who aren't he heating those evacuation orders? Well, I can tell you right now that they may have done that in others. There's never been one like this. And this, Helene, Helene was a wake-up call.

This is literally catastrophic. And I can say without any dramatization whatsoever if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas you're gonna die. And David I am seeing this happens in South Florida all the time people want to surf and people want to enjoy themselves and they think that this kind of stuff is funny and so there are gonna be an assortment of crazy people who are about to die in Tampa because they're taking flippant risks with their life. Dan, there's one guy who's out there in Tampa Bay who lives on a sailboat, a 20-foot sailboat,

and he's been going viral on TikTok and on social media for saying, hey look, this is what I have. I don't have anything else. If I didn't have this boat, I'd be living out on the streets. I'm not going to evacuate. I'm going to ride out the storm in my 20-foot sailboat. All right, Dan, the people that are new, explain to them why you're deciding to seek out a category ride out the storm in my 20ainting man. God told me to come out here and get a boat. I came out here and got a boat. And everything that he's been telling me over the last two days is I'm doing the right thing. He's got my back. I'm in good shape, I ain't sweating it.

We're gonna ride this one out. We got set up the way we know what we're doing. And as long as the water just keeps rising, we'll be fine. Will you be wearing a life jacket? Hell no. Are you gonna be able to swim if it need be? In circles. Can you swim with one leg or what?

Yeah, I can float like a damn champ, but swimming I just go in circles. So the plan's just to stick it out here? Yeah, I mean, the water's gonna come in, it's gonna rise. If you're on land, it's going to flood, you're risking drowning. I'm in a boat. The boat goes up with the water. So even if the boat goes up 100 feet in the air,

I'm going to be up 100 feet in the air with the water. So it's really the safest place in the world to be is on my boat. And I got room for one more female. So as you can see there, Dan, what is understated in the video is he's only got one leg. So it's hard to get around and make sure that a boat is safe when 15 foot storm surge is coming when you've got one leg. Even with two legs, it's hard to do it. But when you got one leg, it's even harder. The ladies, he's single.

And he'll only allow a female in. So no male. It has to be a female. And Lieutenant Dan, wasn't that the giveaway for the one leg? Yeah. Just in case for people that weren't watching on video. Mm-hmm. I think he's gonna make it I think that many people are flippant about this stuff and aren't really Realizing what the new normal is because the new normal is gonna come with some things that don't have precedent

I have told you before that being in South Florida for Hurricane Andrew and after Hurricane Andrew which was about the same force but much smaller of a hurricane so it wasn't eating up as much land it is among the most horrific things I've ever seen in my life to just witness the aftermath of communities that I had recognized that I no longer recognized because of the amount of twisted metal and debris and what's happening in this area is you already have hurricane wreckage from Helene that has not even been cleaned up yet that's just gonna be flying all over the place, hitting homes as, I say again, if you're on the second story of something,

you're barely safe from this storm surge. It's going to be higher than homes. But are you playing the video to have, because you have empathy for that, Lieutenant Dan, or because you're viewing him as an idiot? No, I'm saying just get out of there. I'm not judging him as an idiot. People are flippant and he shouldn't do what he's doing, but many people out

there think I've written something like this out before, therefore I can do this again, and I'm just telling people, whoever it is that might be hearing this, that's not taking it seriously, that it has to be taken the most seriously because what's coming this way is not something that we've seen before. I want to speak to the notion of that person saying he has nowhere to go. I understand he wants to stay with the one thing that he has in this life, which is his boat, but he has several options to evacuate.

Local community leaders establish all sorts of sites where they have very clear messaging on where people can evacuate to. I know that Tropicana Field is gonna be stationing some folks, part shelter, part station. So there's a lot of places in that Gulf Coast area that you need to heed the warnings, read the messaging, and take their advice. And he's had days.

This is, again, it's not an earthquake. This is not sneaking up on anybody and he should have taken advantage of everyone. It might be sneaking up on people who don't have internet or are not linked up the way to information that the rest of us are. I think the difficult part too, and I agree with everything Mike's saying,

is he was homeless and then he was able to get the boat and he's like, if I go back out and evacuate and go to a shelter, my boat gets destroyed, I'm homeless again. They cut off my social security checks. I don't have anything other than this boat. But his home is going to be a cemetery is the point. Sure.

You're not going to survive this in a 20-foot sailboat. That's not a possible thing. At a certain point, people just stop listening, Dan. And you can't necessarily reason with them. There's that lady, Ruth, from Dante's Peak. She wasn't leaving. She wasn't leaving. So many people died because she refused to leave

in that movie. Then she got out and she did the right thing, which was sacrifice her own body and get in the acid lake and melt her entire lower half off. What about standing on the beach, deep impact, right at the end? People just don't wanna, hey, this was a destination for me. I live on the water, I'm not leaving here.

The couple and Titanic, they just like laid in the bed. Holding hands. That's actually romantic. Let's just spoon. The lady in Dante's Peak, she was just a problem. And thankfully we can't curse, because I'd use the word, and I don't like to use that one. I have a child.

That wasn't, you didn't put your heart into that. You didn't put your heart into Billy Zane. I have a child. You have a child here that you've cursed in front of several times already today. My wife has. Wasn't the pilot of the submersible spouse the great granddaughter of the Titanic couple

that died spooning on the Titanic? I couldn't tell if that was like a real thing or an internet thing. No, it was in the New York Times. Really? I think that must was in the New York Times. Really? Well, that must have happened. Failing New York Times. No reason to believe them.

That used to mean something. The failing New York Times. Tony's Joe Zagacki has gotten better and better with reps. I wanted to ask you guys about what the Miami Heat are doing with Pat Riley on the court celebrating a legend while he's still alive in a way that you usually eulogize the sports legends after they've passed. Red Arback, the court was named after him in Boston.

Pat Riley, and I don't know whose decision this was, because Pat Riley's the one with the power to make these decisions, so I don't know if Pat Riley is doing this for himself or whether or not it was somebody else's idea that was brought to him. He's got to approve everything like this, David. So he's got to sign off on everything related

to this kind of thing. He didn't bring it to Harrison though. You think he walked into me? Hey, knock, knock. I'm not saying he brought it to Harrison. I'm delighting in the idea of this has to be brought to Pat Riley and hey Are you okay with the fact that we are celebrating you while you're living in a way that we usually celebrate the dead? I like the idea of the vote being split and it's all right Riley. It's on you. There's five of them, right?

Yeah, we're two two. It is Decide these things as five of them. So let's just make it They do decide these things as five of them. So let's just make it spolster is against it. Yep Oh, yeah, he wants that Nick and Mickey are for it somehow Andy Ellis Berg is against it now they come to Pat Riley and like do you want your name on the court? Dan we were actually taking that and running with it thinking we should name something here for you I was thinking like the refrigerator maybe the commissary Dan Leavittbatard official commissary. The Dan Lebatard eating area, yes. The Dan Lebatard best parking spot. The Dan Lebatard feeding area, yes.

I'd vote against all those. I'd vote against all those. You don't wanna be associated with that. There's a hierarchy of naming opportunities here at MetalArk, and I think that it starts with MetalArk Media. It should be Dan Lebatard Media. Oh really?

That's baggage. Rolls right up and spit wordy. You're advocating for me. We've got a big day today where our trailer is being released on another documentary that it is that we're making. You're saying I should just name the company for myself, change the name of the company from Metal Lark Media to Meadow

Tard Media. I do not believe that that's a good idea. I like to name how it stands. Thank you. That's a split vote? I would vote no on that. We're the tiebreakers. I do believe we can go around the remove if we like, but I vote no.

Jessica, is my parking spot a source of contention here at the company because I've got a good parking spot here? No, I don't think it's a source of contention that you have a good parking spot. I think we all agree that you should have a good parking spot. It's more so that we all have really bad parking spots. The vote is split back here, so tie goes to the skipper.

I spent hours, hours doing parking spot allocation at both spring training and the stadium because that is a real thing when it comes to hierarchy in an organization. Who gets the parking spot closest to the elevator? Who gets the parking spot? The players have a, there is a seniority for parking. It really is a thing.

You have to have the best spot. When I was younger, I was like, man, I wish one day I could be like a GM of a sports team. I could be just in the numbers, crunching numbers, watching tape, doing all this stuff. And then I realized all those guys are doing are spending hours of time doing parking allocation. Okay.

The first time I ever noticed that someone got a chief parking spot in a place was at the University of Miami when Jimmy Johnson coached there and he would get to pull up to the facility and have the best spot at the athletic department that had his name on it and God helped the people who parked there when he was not there

because that did not end up going well for them. It's daily reminder to the people who work in the parking areas about who can and cannot park and they check it. You can't even have your spouse come in without calling in security and saying, hey, it's Jimmy here, it's gonna be my wife using the spot. They get a picture of the car too.

Yeah, one of the things that I hadn't accounted for when we moved studios, because it's not something that I had thought of, and also, it has been unbelievably fast how this has happened in South Florida, where the available land also uh... it has been unbelievably fast how this has happened in south florida where the available land is uh... so consumed with development that the only way and places to build up in south florida anymore is straight up

and so this parking garage today because of the storm that's coming in because of the flooding that's coming is the first time that the person at the front told me hey your space might be taken today our 36 stories of parking here are all taken some of you have to park at Bayside right because we don't have enough parking for everybody that works here inside of this building because there's simply not enough parking in South Florida. I snuck in. Hey it's Mike Ryan and there's so many enough parking in South Florida. Eh, snuck in. Hey it's Mike Ryan and there's so many great things about football. My favorite thing is the random occasional year or my team is good.

That makes football a lot better than the normal experience but one thing that routinely makes football better, Miller Lite. Yeah, Miller Lite, the perfect supplement to your football weekends.

I was going for a thing. And I have a family. You're gonna pretend here that you don't love Matthew Kachak more than you love I don't you've ever loved I I don't love Matthew Kachak more than my daughter Stugats now it's pretty damn close. This is the done libertar show with a stugat It's a dangerous storm even for us too, especially with the most recent southern jog of this storm. There's a lot of construction going on downtown in this area in particular.

This is going to get pretty gussy for us down here in Miami-Dade County, so it's going to be dangerous for a lot of folks. This is really, really eerie because you got to keep on living your life and do your preparations and you don't really know how bad it's going to be until it gets here. But we've had a lot of big storms that look like they're about to barrel down on Miami-Dade County and you start realizing that your life may never be the same after this storm. And for a lot of friends that we have closer to where landfall is expected, this is an event that

if it hits more densely populated areas like that bay, now it's come down to the point where you're kind of rooting for more southern jogs because those places are just less densely populated. But this is, if it hits that bay the way that it's potentially forecast to, that is an event that changes that area forever, and it essentially starts that city all over again.

It's a total reset. Tampa in particular is designed as a bull, and their only trauma center in the area is right on that bay. It is really, really perceptible to these to these storms. And they've never really had to had to deal with that because storms generally don't move west, the east in that area and get strong enough. This is a very recent thing for for the Tampa Bay area to have to deal with.

Over the last three years, they've dealt with this three consecutive years and I went several decades without ever having them threatened by a storm. Mike, and to your point, Tampa General Hostel sits on the Bay of Tampa Bay, right? And they've actually done a lot of stuff to preemptively get ahead of huge storms like this. They have their power generators like 30 feet in the air. They've got their fresh water underneath the bay dug in. So like they're very set up. They also set up, I don't know if you guys have seen it, I've been watching the aqua fence. It's like this huge like I

don't even know what it is Mike. It's like plastic or metal or whatever. Yeah they're just surrounding it. Yeah they build a makeshift fence that's supposed to yeah that's a seawall that effectively kept the water out of the trauma center the last storm that they dealt with. But you know, these are designed to they say that these are designed to withstand a storm surge of up to 15 feet. And that's what the projection is here. And you know, the thing with the fence, it'll still inevitably get there. It's all about mitigating the damage. It's it's it's a really bad scene real bad scene for Tampa If this storm hits Tampa like earlier forecast models were projecting

Tampa's essentially wiped off the face of the earth and you start over again with that area should people decide to even move back It is a real bad scene potentially we were just looking at a picture from the International Space Station That is not a CGI photo. That is actually what the space station sees. And if we can show it, look at the size. You can't even see how big that is. But it looks like 20% of the Earth is under that hurricane. And there was video, I don't know if we have it,

of the Hurricane Hunter airplane that was flying through it. That's how we get all these readings where you can be emotional about the pressure bars and the measurements. There's like guys who for a living say, here's my plan today, I'm gonna get in a plane and I'm gonna fly into the storm. You would have no sympathy for them

if they died with that job because you're someone who doesn't have sympathy and empathy who for people who die doing dangerous things. Spoiler alert it may be on my new top five of top ways that I feel not badly if you die. You have a new top five? We are telling the people he did this yesterday donate.wck.org it's world central kitchen slash levit Donate.wck.org. One of the things that happened here recently with Tampa is I had this fear recently with Tampa and what ended up happening because the storm moved is the bay emptied out instead of filling with 12 to 15 feet of water.

The bay just vanished because it got sucked into other areas I will tell you guys and Chris Cody and Roy I would pay attention to this part of it I saw on one of the forecasts yesterday that as it moves through Florida if one of the models is correct some of the worst weather is going to be in West Palm and Broward as it arrives at the at the East Coast of Florida. So if people in South Florida think this isn't something to be worried about, like you need to get your things in and stuff because very bad weather is potentially coming to us too as people try to forecast something that is new to try to forecast. It's not like previous storms.

They've gotten some things wrong on the way up to this in a way that I've just noticed over the last few days has been alarming to me to see like, oh, their information from three days ago, they weren't expecting this to go from one to five that quickly. They were expecting it to increase but not that quickly. Well, we're currently on a tropical storm warning right now and I'm faced with a decision should I board up or not. I gotta get out plywood and get the screws out. Well Roy, it's coming tonight so you better get on that buddy. It's a lot of work and he's waiting to get the most up to date information as a lot of

people are and John Morales even says if you're waiting on the decision to put up boards, pay attention to this advisory. But yeah, for the listening audience, it probably will impact our content for tomorrow because this storm keeps moving a little bit, as will the severity of what hits Miami-Dade County and Broward, and that's where most of us are stationed. So we ask for your patience in how we deliver our stuff,

because it may look a lot different tomorrow. Do you not have a group of people to help you board? Like where you go to each other's homes? We have that with the team, that we would go to each other's houses. You mean friends? Friends? I don't wanna talk to my neighbors. So you board your house alone?

I did last time. Don't you need to start soon if you're gonna do it, if you're doing it alone? Well, I got a couple of people. You guys made them come to work it, if you're doing it alone? Well I got a couple of people. You guys made him come to work today, so. Yeah, that is true. I got a couple of people I can call and that can help me out, but yeah,

I mean, I gotta make the decision pretty quickly right now. Jessica, no one was made to come to work today. It's unreal. Like no one was made to come. You felt obligated to come to work today. Anyone can leave whenever it is they want to. I'll handle it. I'll handle it. I'll handle it.

You can go, like it's fine. Anybody can go. If you need to board up your house, you should leave and board up your house because it's going to start raining soon and no one's obligated to work today. I don't wanna be the anti-alarmist, but I don't think down here we need to board up.

It's more just like flooding, like if you live near a lake, like put shit down to block the water. But make sure to get your asses in the studio tomorrow. That's for damn stand backs. Tomorrow, your ass is here. The S word is not a curse word. There I said it.

What is going on here? We have a simple sheet of paper which should guide us through the show. The sheet of paper says not to curse, and it's not to curse because Chris's daughter is here, and Chris keeps cursing, so I don't know not to curse because Chris's daughter is here and Chris keeps cursing so I don't know what to do with that. So is he allowed to then?

I mean it's his daughter's pristine ears that I thought we were protecting here from the calamity of foul words that her father and her grandfather are always using and furthermore grandmother as well has a bit of a potty mouth. You don't get this font if it's just Chris's daughter it Does say it's a reason no cursing today is what it says at the top of the preparation Your daughter is the curse word that that that's the that's the curse work Then it would just say no f-word the the story from my childhood of my father from my childhood of my father reprimanding a bunch of children on a soccer field

because there was some cursing, was my father in his thick accent, and my mother loves telling this story, is saying, there is nothing to be gained by cursing, not a damn thing. It's a legitimate story, not making it up. He did it, my father did that, I'm not making it up. You can call him and ask him if you want to.

He's been complaining recently about the heat, we gotta bring that back. He's been making fun of the Dolphins and been complaining about how little the heat did this off season. We need Greg Cody's size font, that's the bottom line. Bolded? It's gotta be 40, it's gotta be 40.

That's the only way Cody's able to actually give us a list of names in the media he likes. I was on a team bus one time for my Christian school and the coach screamed to the back, hey stop effing cursing. But he said the f word. He did. TD, Tuddy, in for six.

I want to transition here to something we have not talked about the last couple of weeks, Mike, and it's been confusing to me that we have not talked about it. Lionel Messi scored a couple of goals in four minutes upon his return and since then all Inter Miami does is win and set records and grab trophies and Billy was complaining he was saying nobody's talking about this team locally and I was saying to Billy I don't feel like you're talking to enough of the people in this town who speak only Spanish because there are plenty of people talking about it I just don't know if they're doing it in English.

They are, but I don't think it's gone in terms of because they're behind a paywall, which is a really risky endeavor to do that as you are on board Messi. I think that if you could do it over, you may have a more traditional broadcast partner to get people in the tent because I don't think MLS was at the point where they could say our league or two of the main competitions, the league play and the leagues cup, we're just going to shove that behind a paywall. I think it was a miscalculation. Everybody should have paused until after 2026 when the world cup is here to see exactly the sustainability of this sport. But to your point, despite it maybe not going as well as planned in terms of national attention on the field.

It's certainly working. He showed up, won a competition, gave the club its first trophy. One year later, they win the Supporters Shield, which is how leagues over in Europe and basically everywhere but the United States crown their champions, which is you have the most points by the end of the season, you're champion here in America.

Regular season. Yeah, here in America we decide, hey, let's play some playoffs after that because that's how we do it in America, Jack. And that's the one that I think even Billy has spoken to. That's how most sports fans are programmed here. The MLS champion is the one that wins a postseason. So that's the one that is going to be held up against him

and they have to win that. But on the way over there, they won the supporter's shield and they have a shot at setting the points record in MLS for a regular season, best regular season ever, which is really impressive when you consider exactly how many injuries they've had to deal with. They have a really deep team and a really good manager that knows how to rotate this talent

because there have been a lot of additional competitions that they've played in, a lot of friendlies, they traveled a bunch in the preseason, make a bunch of money, but this is a really impressive side, arguably the best regular season side and maybe the points will reflect that by the end of the season we've ever seen in this sport. And I'd say, you know, that's kind of hitting the ball out of the park. When you when you ask pie in

the sky scenarios of what Messi brings on the field, he's pretty much delivered and he's delivered in the wake of a lot of injuries, a lot of physical adversity that he's having in the way. It's crazy to me that he hasn't underachieved. It's even understanding that he's better than most of the people playing. He's at an age and he's got an amount of mileage on his body that he should not be able

to dominate this way in this league. And the paywall deal is how Messi got here. There's no other way. So I'm curious when you consider, you're saying it's two years too early. How is that because- I know Apple stepped up to the plate late in the proceedings.

I know from my reporting that the discussions were happening with Messi in Inter Miami before Apple entered the equation. Apple was a nice supplement to it. Does the deal not happen because of Apple? Who's to say? Well, maybe I'm one to say. I think that Messi shows up at that time.

It's just Apple afforded him all these additional things as documentary. It allows him to really fast track his empire here in North America, which was part of his end game. It ended up sweetening the pot, but I think the pot might have still been plenty sweet without Apple. When you have the season that they've had though it sounds like it's MLS Cup or bust. Bad season if they don't win the MLS Cup? I think it's MLS Cup or bust just in in the eyes of this show because that for whatever reason

that's all Billy thinks you can win in this looking. Well Samson says there's winner and everyone else is a loser. That there can only be one success. Not in soccer. There's a million different ways to win in soccer. There's a million different cups. But I'm just saying, if you set the record for best regular season ever, you can't have an early exit in the playoffs.

In America, they say do it in the postseason, which is weird because you could hold up and say, well, he won a knockout style tournament against not just MLS teams, but Liga Mequis, and it'll just be la, la, la, la. The measurements are always interesting to me because Aaron Judge right now has a higher strikeout rate in the postseason than any player ever. We all know that Aaron Judge is great, but the postseason samples are so small and goals are so hard to come by in soccer

that it is really hard to be the best of the best in small samples when you have this randomness of you have to be the one in four at bats who hits a home run or two home runs. You have to be the one who scores a goal when there might not be that many goals and it's really hard to score goals. But when you talk about how streaming has changed a bunch of different things including sports

I wanted to ask you something about Apple Brad Pitt and George Clooney have a movie right now that only Exists on Apple when those two people make a movie together at any time in my lifetime It's a giant movie that everyone is seeing because those two people are in it it's wolfs is the name of it i don't know why they named it instead of wolves wolves but i don't hear anyone talking about this movie because i don't hear people talking about most of what it is that apples making behind the paywall

because it's not one of the popular ones are the most popular ones even as they spend it seems to me, more money than anybody but Netflix and Disney. When there's two wolves, it's wolves, not wolves. I thought any plural of a wolf was wolves. I thought any- Mr. and Mrs. Wolves? From the Eli Wolf family?

It's their last name. I didn't think that it was W-U-L-F. I think that it was- It's W-O-L-F. So I thought it was- It's W-O-L-F. So I thought it was a wolf as in the animal, not that their names are, you're telling me their last name of both characters? It's what they do.

So therefore you haven't seen the movie is my guess. I have not seen the movie. Yes, it can't be wolves. I'm looking at the character names in the cast for, on IMDB, doesn't say wolfs as the last name, but it also says that they're two fixers. And if you remember Pulp Fiction- They're the wolves. They're wolves.s as the last name, but it also says that they're two fixers. And if you remember Paul Fiction. They're the Wolfs.

They're the Wolfs. The Wolfs. Yes. Apple spent more than all the other streamers I think combined initially to seed their content slate and they've announced a ton of rollbacks to that because the subscription pace kind of dictated it for them but I think you're bearing the lead here when talking about Apple TV and Messi and George Clooney and Brad Pitt is sugar season 2 got greenlit against all odds this amazing TV series and now I'm all in on that takes the hardest left turn in the history of television

episode 6 what if they never go back and talk about what happened in episode 6 and they just keep it noir they just keep keep it nor. At this point, because of Colin Farrell's commitment to the character, I'm in no matter what. And the other thing is Bad Monkey's season ends this week and then next week, today's Wednesday, it ends today. And then next week Shrinken starts up, so big couple weeks. And Slow Horses, if we're talking about Apple. But Sugar, season two. This is unbelievable. I'm asking.

Who did this? Did we do this? We're the only people talking about Sugar, season one. Did we get this screen lit? Are they doing this show for us? I'm confused by the fact that Apple does things like puts into the universe a movie that stars both Brad Pitt and George Clooney,

and no one sees it, no one talks about it, it gets no buzz because we're in a time of change where if we put you behind a paywall, it's what I was afraid of when we left the ESPN and were negotiating with an assortment of entities and some of them wanted to put us behind a paywall, I thought it would kill our show upon landing to deny our audience the ability to get it for free.

And I'm confused by Messi having a monster season and Mike Ryan telling me that they are achieving every expectation and beyond for having the greatest sports star in the world and even locally it's got less buzz than you would think anything of this kind would have in a market

that loves and support soccer and has so many hispanics in it that love messy enough to just be around his house because he's got a level of fame that's unheard of in sports and people are less inclined to be a part of it because it's behind a paywall. The other thing about Apple TV is this must be a promotion thing because they're pretty notorious for not promoting their stuff. So what must be a promotion thing? It must be, they're not promoting it enough.

Wolves? That people don't know? The entire thing. Or messy. Every program that they have and wolves. I've seen it a couple of times, the promotion for it, but that's about it. The backstory is it was gonna be a theatrical release. So this was not meant to just start as an Apple TV release.

But what history do we have of Pitt and Clooney opening quietly? It's a terrible movie. Is it? I only seen the first 15 minutes and I got tired. But I liked the first 15 minutes. It got off to a hard start.

It really falls off after that? It's so bad. Wait, can it be a good movie if you get tired of it in the first 15 minutes? I mean, yes, it could be fine. Look, the Bucks and Falcons were putting on an absolute banger. I still fell asleep in the fourth quarter because Daddy was tired.

Mike's like, this is so good. Come on, guys. Come on. We've all been there. My habits have changed in a way that I've just. Her cousins threw for 500 yards, and I was still like, damn right he did. I've got to get this snowman.

You fall asleep if something's good? I will now, because of an assortment of things that have to do with my life changing over the last five years. In Mike's case, you're talking about welcoming a baby into the world and when he says daddy's tired, he's doing it literally. He's not just being an asshole by calling himself daddy.

She's waking up at 6.05 regardless. Yeah, no cursing, I got it. The idea that you can watch something, be tired, I think that's something that the audience would embrace. The idea that you can be so tired that even if something is good, you will fall asleep during it. Like the MLB playoffs last night, perhaps.

The Padres and the Dodgers going into the wee hours. That was awesome. That's another example. I was like, wow, this is such a great game that I will not be finishing because it is too late That's different, but you made a conscious decision. I did with wolves too wolves. Oh, I thought I'm sorry missed it I thought you fell asleep during it. No, I was getting tired. No, I was getting tired. So I shut it off Yeah, that's the same thing. No, it's not the same thing put it on the pole at LeBittard show juju put this on the pole Is a movie good if you fall asleep 15 minutes into a movie?

I do believe that the only thing of this kind, my wife has pointed this out, she's like, when you're tired, especially since I've finally gotten to a place with my sleep rhythms where I'm generally sleeping between 10 and four, it's taking a lot of work to get to just being able to sleep consistently, but she's like the only thing that'll keep you up past 10

is if there's a football game. The football is the only thing that will do it. Football's king, Dan-o. Where you will stay up a little bit later. It's the only thing. I mean, that's what she says. Not so good. Your alarm goes off at four.

My alarm goes off at five, but I wake up too often at four. And you wake other people with your alarm Yeah at five David get out of here with your inside reference. That's not just no just get out of here with your just just get out Of here, please. It's not the references. It's like the follow-up to like very mundane Minor penalty two minutes for boring He's just hell-bent on saying things that just stop the show, like stop everyone from talking when we have to keep talking. I don't understand what that is as a broadcaster. Like, let me say a thing that just makes everyone stop talking.

He just likes the little details. He wants to follow up on little details a lot. That's what I've noticed. Okay, do it on your own time. What's your thought process on not liking that? He just made a reference, okay, because he knows that my alarm woke up my wife the other day as I was trying to prepare

for doing nothing personal with him. It's a joke that only he understands. I don't understand why he would make it. Was it a reference or a joke though? I don't even know what the hell it was. What was your thought process as he said it? Just rage at why he's around. Do people do that often with you?

That's just always a stupid question he asks. He's always just like, does that happen often? On this show it actually does. From other people it's rewarded. But for whatever reason, for David, we're penalizing him. I mean, it's all of Greg Cody's appeal, quite honestly. Yeah, yeah. So totally side, and Billy's.

They lived to sidetrack the show, but if David does it, maybe it's just his general lack of likeability. Billy bothers me plenty when he does a question that he has no interest in the answer. Like it's just a question so that everyone can applaud Billy for asking an insane, inane question. Well, I don't think a mean gets away with that though. Some days, it depends.

Yeah, it depends on me. He's entertaining though, so we can entertain him. So is Billy. He thinks he's entertaining. So likable. He throws out like two stinkers and you're like, third one, there's no coming back from this as a show. I think the key is being likable.

That's the key in all this. Well, one of the things when you mention Greg Cody that delighted me about him leaving the other day the way he did, Chris, is that I'm still amused that your father gets genuinely enraged by the hard Network Out. He left here yesterday angry at you and me because we clipped him again on the Hard Network Out. Did he take that home and express it to you? I still, there are times I have to

call your father on Tuesday and a night and on Wednesday and and like be like Greg it's okay, the joke works. Everybody likes you because you take a beating around here and you're very popular. Your Q rating is very high because we do this. I always call him after the show sometimes and I can always tell by how he answers. If he's happy, it's, hey boy.

And if it's, hello, that's when I know. I just know by the hello that, yeah, and he doesn't get the show, but that's what makes him so great. Also took me out for wearing a muscle shirt on my own show. What's that about? All of a sudden I get texts and tweets, hey, you wore a muscle shirt, they're ripping you.

I'm like, what? I don't even remember that. That was more Dan. I don't think anybody was ripping you. I believe most people were saying that you somehow pulled it off. Thank you. I didn't think you did.

Oh, you pulled it off literally? No, I caught it on. Ah. Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and there's so many great things about football. My favorite thing is the random occasional year or my team is good. That makes football a lot better than the normal experience.
