You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story, until now. People assume that I'm like, this pervert.

My name is Natalie Robamed, and in my new podcast, I talk to Allison to try to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma at other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Allison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify. Welcome to the Big Sui! by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Levitart show is presented by Draft King.

Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Zaz, I just saw this get-up headline. What do I say? Is the Bill's Super Bowl window closed? Oh, that's my gimmick! What? They're doing that? They just did it. 18 hours after Zaz!

That was super disrespectful yesterday! And now ESPN is stealing that? Whoa, who's disrespectful? Has the bills window closed because they... Because Ed Oliver's out and they can't stop the run. Dan, do you think the bills are going to the Super Bowl's here? They could. They could. They're one. of the best games? Of course they go. The dolphins can't. No, the dolphins can't. No, the dolphins can't.

No, they can't. No, they can't. No, they can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. They can't. They can win the rest of their games. They can. They can't. They can't. They can't. Put it on the poll at Levitard show. Bills can't. Bills can't. Dolphins can. Like, that's ridiculous what you're saying. Diana Rossini's on with a senior NFL insider for the athletic and host of the Scoop City Diana, is the bill's window closed? It is not close, but I'm not very curious about the Dolphins schedule because I'm in Greg's camp here. I think the Dolphins can win the Super Bowl.

Oh, come on. You're trolling us. Well, look, right? They've got the commanders. It's an easy schedule. It's the Saints. It's got the Jets. They're all looking at the dolphins and saying, we've got the Dolphins.

Dealers, they've got the Bengals, the Bucks. All right, the Patriots. Okay. It's easy. Then it gets a little harder. Look, anything could happen. The Dolphins defense looked fantastic. Where was that all year last game?

As for the bills, look, I think what Zaz's point is, forget the defense that you mentioned, it's the fact that their offense, when they cannot run the ball, nothing good is happening. And teams know this. Teams run the same play, and they have the blueprint to beat the Buffalo Bills, which is stop the run and run the ball on them, right? And they are unable to do either of those right now. And so that's my concern. And with the trade deadline now passed and then not getting another receiver, even though they tried, they called around.

They were in on almost all the ones that were traded. We are now left with Josh Allen trying to make magic, which is what we saw him trying to do. And it's just not enough. How did they get left out at the trade deadline? And is it true, as has been reported, that the bills made the best of all the offers for Waddle a one and a three, a one? A one this year and a three next year. Yeah, there was some stuff going on with different teams with Buffalo in terms of the negotiation for how the trade would, trades would go. I don't know for a fact that the Buffalo Bills gave the Miami Dolphins the best offer.

I just know the Miami Dolphins were listening, but they really did not want to move him. They were not trying to move on from Jalen Waddle. So I'm not sure what Brandon Bean would have had to offer for Miami to go, okay, we're in on this. I just know that they had a couple lines in the waters with different teams with New Orleans, with the Vegas Raiders, with the Jacksonville Jags even. But in the end, though, they lost out because either the team that they were talking to really didn't want to move the player or they got beat out by another team. or in some cases this happens a lot, you get used as a team because, you know, one team really doesn't want to trade with you. So they use that as a way to get another team to, as leverage for another team to pay more.

So I think all of that happened, which is why you saw Brandon being so exhausted. Did you see his press conference? I haven't seen a gentleman around to talk about that. Diana, I'm legitimately, I'm legitimately baffled when I'm not someone who does a lot of this. I assume that people who are invested in their building, the way the bills are, that they're good at their jobs. You can't fail to get a wide receiver for Josh Allen at the trade deadline. You're playing for right now. You're not playing for next year or the year after that.

This team is viewed as a fail. You're not unlike the best previous incarnation of the bills that always collapsed at the end. You have to get Josh Allen a receiver. It can't be that obvious does that you can't stop the run. You can't run the ball if James Cook is hurt. And then all of a sudden, it's just Dalton Kincaid is all that they can beat you with. It's literally the state of the bills right now, right, of what you just defined or how you just laid that out. And you're right.

But what are you going to do? If you can't get the deal done, like the Buffalo Bills weren't the only team that were after players that couldn't get a guy. It's just, I hear you. What are you willing to give up? How far are you willing to go? And I think there's consequences if you go too far. He was aggressive. The general manager was very aggressive in this.

He wasn't able to come up with what he wanted, which is why you heard in the press conference him being like, he looked partially tired because it was an exhausting process because he was having so many different conversations, but obviously annoyed, right? So that tells me he was close on a lot of these things and lost out. I want to ask you guys before I throw this to Diana because it was something.

that baffled me yesterday. So Brian Dayball gets fired, and my reaction was just fairly immediately, why does everyone care about this so much? Like he started 7 and 2, had Daniel Jones, and when they were healthy, they looked like maybe it would be something, and then they've done nothing but fail since. And then I see a lot of people reacting angrily to you don't do this to Brian Dayball. And I'm just curious before I throw it to Diana, why do you think people care about that so much. When Brian Dayball's just a guy. Yes, I agree. It's because it's

the New York market. If Brian Dayball was just fired from the New Orleans Saints, nobody cares, and we're not talking about it. It's New York. It's why whoever the Jets coach is, or the next Jets coach, is going to be disproportionately discussed.

I really think, like, I agree with you, Dayball is an unremarkable NFL coach looking for work. I don't even necessarily agree with the unremarkable part like okay fine like he is just a guy but he was doing a like jackson darts having a good season i i i understand they're two and eight i wouldn't want to change you know potentially the offense that he runs next year because they have a new coach diana yeah i look the new york market thing i i'm with you gregg on it and and sometimes i still think that

gets blown out of proportion yet look how many people we've seen left leave new york and have success just from the players right like daniel jones leonard williams Maybe this will be Brian Dable's future where he has success outside the Giants, Sequin Berkeley, right? But, Dan, I was with you a little bit from a, no one was surprised that Brian Dable got fired, right? We've been talking about it every single week. I think what happened here was because the quarterback has shown that he is talented

and could be the guy here, and the relationship between him and Brian Dable seem to be the best part of watching this New York Giants team before they collapsed against Denver and lost to Philly and just really started losing against the Niners. I think there was a moment here where you went, okay, if you're the New York Giants and you have the quarterback, what do you want? Well, you want a really good offensive play caller because this kid has potential. Who's a good offensive play caller? Oh, Brian Daible.

Remember what he did with Josh Allen? Oh, my gosh. Oh, wait. He's our head coach. So I think there was belief that now is the time, the best version of Brian Dable is here. Unfortunately, the reality is Brian is a good offensive coordinator. He is not a great head coach because so much comes with it. And I think that's why in this next chapter of the New York Giants in terms of what they're going to be looking for,

I would lean more towards them searching for a, we talk about this kind of in a funny tone, but leader of men, right? someone that is going to hold the best players accountable on both sides of the ball. Who's that? Well, who's out there, right? So you've got an Anthony Weaver in Miami who has a really great reputation with his players

for being a disciplinarian yet understanding. You've got a Luana Rumo who interviewed once before. He's the Colts defensive coordinator. He interviewed for the Giants job. And from what I recall, he interviewed very well. And it was close. Brian Dable got the job in the end. Look, Mike Tomlin's name is floating around there right now

because we don't know what the future in Pittsburgh will be. I think we have this conversation every year. What happens? He stays in Pittsburgh because that's how they do it. I just think the model for John Mara, like what he should be looking at in terms of what do I want this to be and look like? I think they need to look in New England. You get the leader of men and you get the really good offensive coordinator.

It doesn't, the answer of just getting the OC as the head coach, you know, from history, doesn't really work out as well. And I think this Giants team needs that. I think they've tried all the other ways. I think this is a time where they need to find the guy that's going to be the disciplinary again because that's when they've had success. Can I get a ruling from the group here who have raised children? I think I don't have children, so I'm not going to judge Diana's parenting skills. But I think she's doing something with her kids that some parents might say is not something that you should do. Now, how old are your kids, Diana?

Four and three. Okay, so she has been picking up the phone when they're misbehaving, and this works, undoubtedly, and she has been threatening that she's about to call Santa Claus. Yeah, that's a good move. That's a good move. Good for you, Diana. Is it too early? No.

Never. No, is it working? It is, but with my children. I have learned it runs out like it only works for a week or two and then they're like that's not Santa that's grandpa okay so then you move on like maybe next time you say

I'm calling the police oh wait a wait a minute I just said back here one of my friends they to their kid they always are threatening to call the cops okay but wait you guys no no we do that too we we threaten jail good what what's yeah but here's what's starting to happen

when they see the policemen they get frightened and you don't want them to be scared to police because if you think of any scenario of an emergency, they're going to probably be helping our children, right? So I don't want them to be frightened. Kevin came up with this idea last week, which was putting the children outside. Um, and that's been working. So it's, to live like animals? It's 20 degrees. So it's really cold in New Jersey and we have a lot of deer in our backyard and we threatened that that is, that will be their family. Um, if you don't put the train away. You're going to live with the deer. Oh, my God. This is horrifying. Okay, this is

escalated. This is escalated. Oh, dear. I mean, she had to live with the deer. That's frightening. This is, this is escalated. This is far worse than what I thought we were doing, but I think we skipped over a part. Did you say that there is someone on the line and the kids are yelling, that's not Santa Claus, that's Grandpa? Yeah, so I always think it would, I want to really be in character so i will call my brother i will call my dad i'll call a man that is available to just be and i'll be like hey just be santa i could be santa oh in fact i feel like that would be a great somebody will end up on the naughty list if you don't behave diana this is so good you should absolutely be calling chris he will scare the shit out of your kids this is better than the

dear. Diane, I think you should go a step further. You create a contact in your phone that is Santa's picture. So the kids see it. You flip the phone and say, look who it is. And they're like, oh my God, that's Santa. Santa's calling. This is Jeremy. Another level. What if I just called someone in the NFL and was just like, hey, coach, can you just be Santa for me right now while you're in between meetings? Like, could you imagine what the response would be like, what? Who would you pick? Yeah, who would be a good NFL Santa. Obviously, Mike McCarthy. No, it's got to be Andy Reid. Andy Reid would be. Andy Reed would be. Andy Reed would do it because he's nice like that.

He's busy. I was thinking of somebody who's not busy. Yeah, yeah. He was called the Titans. Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier. That means a football games are more important. That means football time. Should be Miller time. Game day hits different with a Miller light in your hand.

I can't believe the escalation, though, of you're not threatening to throw the kids outside with the deer.

You have put them outside and said their deer is going to be their family. They lose their minds through the glass window because they think they're really going to have to stay out there. It's good parenting. Good. That's excellent. It's freezing. Somebody should be calling child services on you. Dan, you don't get it.

For every parent watching a listen right now, you know. know what I'm talking about. It's between the hours of four and probably seven o'clock and you're trying to get them fed. And there's a million things going on and everyone is losing their minds. So there's only one. No, you can't be reasonable with them. I can't get down and look at Mikey in the eye and be like, you need to eat your vegetables and sit. He's like, I want to play trains.

I'm a dinosaur. Like Joe is in the corner. All right. Calling Santa. How close it outside? 26 degrees. See you. It's such a great description for boy childhood.

I want to play with trains. I'm a dinosaur. No, they do it all the day. They're constant. Then they ask me to put a spell on them. So they turn into a monster because they want to be monsters all the time. So the only way to get a little bit of order. Yeah, you're living with hyena.

You're living with hyena. I am. I'm living with crazy deer now. And the thing is that the three-year-old just, he encourages it. like he's like I dare you to put me outside and I put him out there and he looked to the window and I take the eggs and I'm like I got your eggs oh my god that's that's usually how I get oh wait wait wait so is the three year old is the three year old the smart ass with that's not Santa that's grandpa like who's hitting you with that oh the four year old's an angel he's like oh yay Santa the three year old the egg one he is smart he knows he knows what we're doing um so So, yeah, he's going to be my... Diana, would you do me the favor of please calling Chris? I want to video this.

I think that Chris can sell your kids on... You put the kid on the phone? I think that Chris... Are they misbehaving again? But I want more out of you, Chris. Like, I want more directions so we can get some order here. We've got to talk on the front end. You tell me what they're doing.

I need more info. Yeah, yeah. All right. Please, coordinate. I want to scare the kids, and I want Chris to be the Santa. who disciplines your kids so we don't have to call child services on you because you're threatening that they're going to live with deer in the frigid northeast. Deer aren't even scary. They just, like, you're saying to your kids, you're going to live in the woods.

You're going to be raised by a deer. Deer is scary. You're three years old. What sort of processing do you think is happening there? Wait a minute. I have to live out there that's not warm. What the hell is that thing? And while you say that deer is not dangerous, what do you mean that's going to raise me?

How am I going to get to practice? They go to school with Jets and Giants fans. It can't be much worse. Getting back to the things in football, the Patriots, how real is that? Very real. I think they're ahead of schedule. This is a team that I think they were just trying to straighten up, get organized, figure out what they want to be.

And I think they're already on this journey to being what they are, what they envision this. I can tell you, it's like it's electric up there. they're energized and it's that is a hard place to be energetic about especially this time of year in new england i remember when i was at espan i would cover the patriots it was the worst assignment and not because of bill and breeding all that like it was just like it's so just oh it's gray and far away and cold no it's awful they live on the outskirts of civilization they might as well be raised by deer no seriously people don't know how do people know how hard it is to get to that place

diana it's far from like no it is it is the wilderness They're closer to Walpole prison than they are to a city. I agree. And so just the fact that they're out there and they're dancing, they're doing all these things, I love what they're about. And look, I still don't think this roster's, like, phenomenal. I still think they're kind of a middle-of-the-road type of team that just has a really good quarterback, a great offensive coordinator,

and a potential coach of the year leading the way. Diana, what the hell did we watch last night? What was that? Was it just cold? Like, I don't understand. What is... Okay. I'm frustrated at times with this Eagles offense.

I... They had a buy week to get this together. And I was just expecting it to look more like it did either at the height of last year or even snippets of what we saw before the buy, right? Where the run game was on. The offensive line did a good job of protecting. They used the receivers really well. And then it just looks disjointed.

It doesn't look as good as the Eagles can. And I know they're winning, right? They're still good. They're going to make a deep playoff run. I think when you have a team like this, where at times the offense looks like they're in a bit of a rut, they're lucky that they've got such talent because it gets them out. That's a tough assignment on the road in the cold in Green Bay.

Give me a stat of the day here so people understand what they're seeing from Green Bay. The start of the day, start of the day, this year start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, this year, start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day. The Packers have allowed, this is from Optistats, the Packers have allowed just 39 total points and 780 total yards. in their three losses this season.

That's the first NFL team to allow fewer than 40 points and fewer than 800 yards over their first three losses of a season since 1940, since the Lions. Now, two inexplicable losses, Carolina and Cleveland. But that one last night is not inexplicable. Like, that's a good defense they're playing. And Philadelphia, look, I know they won 20 at 21 or 21 of 22. Winning on the road at Green Bay if you're Philadelphia,

no matter how you do it, is a victory. Like that's something that no one's so spoiled that they can't appreciate that they're going to complain after that. Yeah. No, sure. And you look at the teams that they'd be in this year, you know, this is not like they have some cupcake schedule. They've played really good team. So, look, Philly is really hard to dissect because we know what the roster looks like. Even look at Jalen Phillips.

They just trade for him. And he immediately makes an impact. Like they do a really good job on both sides of the ball. But I just, I think it's the, I understanding what they could be is the frustration, right? A.J. Brown, three targets again? You know, like, what is this going to turn into by the end of the season? And how are they going to get him more involved? Because I think that's what he wants. And I think that's what they want to do because he's that good. So, look, they're at the top of the NFC. They've got Seattle and the Rams, who to me are the best teams playing right now in football.

Let's get the tears of tears for Diana. Let's get these ready so that she can make a ruling for us before we let her go. And can you guys get for me the Jalen Phillips tweet, please, because he had a forced fumble last night. He had a recovered fumble last night. He had four pressures, no sacks. He's going to be helped by that defensive line, which doesn't particularly need his help. But Howie Rostman does what the bills did not, because they got another. pass rusher in Philadelphia in Jalen Phillips.

When you look at everything, the totality of people complaining in Philadelphia that the offense is not doing enough. I want to ask you a question about Lane Johnson, their right tackle. Is there a better right tackle in football? No. Where do you put him on most important players the Eagles have? Like if I said one, two, three, four, five. He is the best player on offense for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Lane Johnson is the best player on the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't think people know this. Like, I think people like you know this. I don't think the people listening to this. They talk about A.J. Brown, and they're talking about all the other players that play offense for the Eagles. But that guy gets hurt last night. All of a sudden, they're going to have problems. Let me be even clear.

It is my opinion, but it's also from me asking the people on the Philadelphia Eagles team recently about this. I've had conversations with guys. Who is the best player on the team? And it is not even questioned. It's always Lane Johnson. always he's the best right tackle ever and you do you dispute this i don't dispute this i'm saying yes the next player is where i step into some uh spicy stuff because i have said that i thought a j brown was the second best offensive player on the philadelphia eagles and i think a lot of

the world believes it's seguan barclay so that's another well a j brown believes that it's a j brown correct like that he believes he's being held back by everything they're doing in philadelphia as champions, correct? He does. I think he just wants to be part of this game plan consistently throughout the game, not in just in moments when they need them, like, trying to go for it on fourth down, right? I mean, I'm not sure what happened there in terms of him going up for the ball, but to me, this is like, it's the same thing, week in and week out. And look, Howie Roseman got calls. People poked around a little bit. There was some chatter. Would they move A.J. Brown? And Philly was, they were not doing it. They were like, unless it's a blow-you-away deal,

we are not moving him despite the fact that we know it's not the perfect scenario. Diana, were the Patriots one of those teams that called about the Eagles, A.J. Brown's availability. In the offseason, I know they had some conversations. I don't know how aggressive they were this time around. I know that they were looking more on defense during the trade deadline than they were on offense. So look, it makes all the sense in the world in this upcoming offseason. if they were to move A.J. Brown, New England being a place where he lands because of his relationship with the head coach, but also he could definitely be used in New England at this point, right, as they're trying to build this thing.

I think this is going to be a really hard decision for this team to make, but I think we're seeing it, right? They're showing us and telling us what direction they're going in here at quarterback. And look, there was a time where I think all of us would be surprised that Kyla Murray wasn't going to be the starting quarterback for Arizona with how he was playing and some of the runs he was making and really some of the athleticism. But I just don't think what he's doing there is good enough for this regime.

Is there a market for Kyler Murray? Where does it start? Yeah, yeah, I definitely think there's a market. Look, there's going to be plenty of teams that are going to be looking for quarterback next year, right? Look at the New York Jets right now. They would give anything to have somebody. I keep joking that Joe Farrot comes back, Joe Flacco should go to the Jets. Yeah, there will be plenty of teams, I think, interested in seeing, knowing that he can play.

Maybe he just needs a better situation. Diana, last year's draft class, Caleb Williams, Drake. Jake Mae, Jaden Daniels, rank them who you want. Drake May, Kayla Williams, and Jaden. And look, I'm taking this away from Jaden only because he's been hurt, right? Like, I don't know what he would be if he was able to be out there. But I love what Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams are doing. And he's doing a better job in the pocket, but he was drafted because of his off-script play.

And it's been remarkable the last few weeks. That is where he has shined. And he's got the clutch gene. I love this about this kid. He wants to win games and he knows how to do it when the pressure's hot. The clutch gene. Hot or high? She's right.

She's 100% right. I mean, you just dismounted with a diarrhea of cliches. Clutch gene. He does. How else do you like me to say? When the pressure is high. What do you want me to say? It's just, it's just diarrhea.

I'll tell you, it's clutch. See that Jaime Hawkes Jr. last night. Oh, whew! Diana does not think about Jaime Huckus Jr.'s as... She better start thinking about how many Housie. Do you remember when the Rams were going to trade or let Stafford go to the Giants? Oh, I do. I remember it well.

We were in Indy at the NFL Combine. And if you recall, the Rams were being a little wishy-washy on what they wanted to do because they didn't want to pay him more money. And the New York Giants were sitting there waiting, kind of begging. Please come play for the New York Giants. The Las Vegas Raiders were willing to pay him. him tons of money for him to be the Raiders starting quarterback. But in the end, he never even wanted to leave California, and they were able to get that deal

done. But what it could have been, right? If Matthew Stafford, this is a team that looks primed, ready to go for the Super Bowl with Shaw McVeigh. If he was in New York, would Brian Dable still have his job? Talk about clutch jeans, Matthew Stafford, Dan. That guy's got a clutch gene like no other. I just want to know what's another way of saying somebody comes through in the fourth quarter.

Exactly right. Perfect way of saying it. Um, okay. Clutch gene, dance it. I'm wrong. A clutch gene. Thank you. We're in a pair of clutch jeans.

He wears clutch jeans. Thank you. Yes, that's right. We should start making those. Clutch jeans. We should start making those. They sound tight and all the wrong ones. They do sound very tight, Greg.

Uh, uh, Jeremy has one question to close it out. All right. Which is worse, Diana? Weeping or sobbing? Sobbing. Keep going, though. Jeremy, keep going. Well, we have a full list here. Where would you put whaling in that, in that mix with those two? The war wailings to me. All right. So here's our, our full tears of tears. So it

starts with a frog in the throat. Then sniffling. Then sniveling. Lamenting. Choking back tears. Is it dusty in here? Cutting onions. Allergies. Shedding a tear. Boohooing. Wimpering. Then standard crying. Then the morning cry and then the morning as if you're a morning cry. That's got to be a big one. Where's the shower cry? See, I figured morning cry, shower cry pretty similar, right?

But are you considering the shower? Are you talking about in the morning or when I'm sad because someone passed? We could add the shower cry. Well, let's get through the list and then we can figure out where that shower cry goes. So after the second morning cry we have bursting into tears. Then waterworks, crying a river,

bawling, wailing, crying your eyes out, hysterical crying, crocodile tears, blubbering, weeping, sobbing, and the No Sean Moreno tier. Yeah, thank you. I was waiting for that one. There were a couple in there that I thought you ranked in the wrong order. A little too high. Yeah, a little too high. Like, sobbing was too low. What is the highest form? Is it whaling? What is the highest form of size? No Sean Marino tears right now.

Yeah, that's the highest form. Whaling, more than blubbering. All right. I just think any time you cry in, like, wherever the private version of it is always going to be the worst, right? Because that's when you can truly let go. Very few people will do that in public. Where's the, where's the shower cry going, though?

I mean, in my life, it's probably the top one. So I'll put it just beneath the notion. It's the word, the shower cry is the word, because you're by yourself, you can get away from everyone, you're alone, and you're alone with your alone and your pain and it's just a private cry. The car cry is good too. Really?

Car cry is a strong cry. When you stop at a red light, somebody's looking at you cry. No, it's no privacy there. It's always in your driveway. That one feels even stronger to me than the shower cry because the shower cry can feel almost cathartic, right? There's like an emphasis of release. You're alone. But the car cry, it's like you can't even

wait until you get home and hop into that shower to be able to cry. It's a dark cry. It's a dark cry. the shower cry to release the most because the water is kind of camouflaging all my tears. You know what I mean? It's like all mixed in as one that I can't even decipher what's my tears and what's just the water and I then don't feel so

horrible about myself. Put it on the poll please, Juju. What's the worst of the cries, the shower cry or the car cry? Diana, thank you. We've kept you too long because Jeremy is using... Really quick though, Dan. Does Bownick stink now, Diana? I don't know. You tell me. Oh, a stray football question

after the music has died. It's a quick question. Do you realize that this is Diana's life as she walks through life. Some guy shouting behind her. Does Bowenxing? There ain't two. Does he stink? Her life.

Look, in the Northeast especially, guys like you on a street corner. Me? Guys like you. Clutch Jean. Asking for him to the opinion of does Bo Nix stink. I think he does. As she's trying to leave. She's got to leave.

Thank you, Diana. He does. Yeah! he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't goodbye that's my girl I'm going to go cry oh oh oh goodbye Diana you gotta do this okay listen to me I wanted to escalate

look if she's willing to put her kids you're on the naughty list listen if she's willing okay to tell to scare her children to tell the American people okay, that she puts her children in freezing cold to be raised by deer as a threat. I need this to escalate into you become a really threatening Santa.

Like you need to be. You need to start out really kind, but it needs to escalate. Like, we've got six weeks to perfect this and I want those kids scared for Christmas that what's coming down their chimney is doing so with a machete. You go outside right now.

Can you get me the sound of Mad Dog please? complaining about the government shutdown. All of you should be ashamed. Every single elected official on both sides of the aisle should look themselves in a mirror how they let down the American public and made us a laughing stock around the world. This is not about winners and losers who is right and who is wrong. This is about doing something good for the American people and say, you know what?

All right, they're wrong, but I got to step up here and make sure that the air traffic controllers on there with aircraft and in towers. Not saying, you know, your turn, LaGuardia, your turn, Kennedy. Newark, it's been 40 minutes, send a plane out that's been sitting there for 15 hours. That's not the way this works.

If you're the President of the United States or you're a Republican who controls everything, you do what's right for the American person, and they didn't do that. And the Democrats, you're dead wrong too. The both of you, you all go to hell. Every single one of you. Oh, he keeps going.

That's part one. Hit it, Roy. I mean, it's ridiculous what they put us through. I mean, who knows how dangerous it was to fly with nobody in the freaking towers. I mean, my God Almighty. And I got the president sitting there with freaking Vilma breaking down to 2003 saints. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. And chest bumping Wilma.

When America, when they got a 75-year-old who's been sitting in Miami International for three days. He's got hearing age. He can't hear the announcements of when it's Jet Blue Flight takes. soft for Bozeman. Oh, my God, it's sickening. I can't stand it. I should move the hell. I should be, well, who the one of, who, Susan Lucci, who moved? No, Lengoria

moved. I should do the same thing. I do the show from Madrid. I'll do it live at 6, 9 o'clock at night. Jesus. Oh, my God. 11 in front of the hour. Returning on man. The goat. Holy shit. Just a fireball. I listened to that

in the shower this morning. Did you cry? Can you get Get me the sound, Roy, of him just tripping on himself on the way to Susan Lucci. And get me the sentence, because it's a musical sentence, of where he's so mad and the spit is gathered in his mouth that all of a sudden we're not flying, we're frying. Where he's not, he can't even get the L because it's an R instead because he is just frothing at the mouth.

I should move the hell. I should be, well, who the one, Susan Lucci, who moved? I want you to imagine, mad at the federal government, then the federal government just punching him repeatedly in the stomach as he tried to say that. Like, I should move the hell. I should be, well, who the one of, Susan Lucci, who moved? I just feel bad for the guy with the hearing aids who can't hear, it's time to board. Seriously.

Point of Bozeman. It was so good. His word choices were so good. He went all over the map, and he picked the perfect cities to 10 people, too, and he threw the hearing aids at the government. guy in Miami because I've seen him the last three days. Every time I'm over there, there's somebody wandering around because the government shut him out. It happened to Zaz. Zaz was that man with three hearing aids at the Atlanta airport. Trying to get to Miami International.

How many years you got? Who disagrees with anything he said there? Nope. Nobody. He speaks for the American people. Republicans, Democrats. You're awful of it. Whether it's flying or it's frying or whether he's talking about Susan Lucci or someone else. He moved me. He moved a all with part one and part two of Mad Dog Speaks for America. When Mad Dog puts it in that context, the optics of the president doing play by play it's a little rough. It was great.

A great choice. Talking to Jonathan Villain All three saints. Look, this is what I tell Zazz this all the time. Zazlo show 2.0. I say the thing that's the difference between the show he does and the show we do is, hey Zaz, if you notice that when you're on your show, you don't get to laugh. You don't

get to laugh because you're talking to yourself. So you're not going to make yourself laugh. he broke character laughing at himself in the middle of that like he was trying to stay in character and he found himself too funny with his word choices can you play that back for me again i want to hear the whole thing again let's see we have a very important i think it's a very important couple of plays here we go second and seven right second and seven let's see what happens well that's all right crossy merit not bad takes it down to the five yard line that's right That's right. Good runner. There we go. The Jonathan Vilma going through the 2004 Saints is where he lost it, right? Where he's thinking to himself that the place where Mad Dog is losing it is he's thinking the reality is funnier than fiction, which is while my grandfather is walking around to MIA because the government can't do anything.

The president who wants that stadium named after him, by the way, and probably will get it named after him, is doing that terrible play by way. play with Jonathan Vilma, after 40 years covering sports, it's too much to stay inside of Chris Rousseau's head without him laughing at himself because of the absurdity of it. I should move the hell. I should be, well, who the one Susan Lucci, who moved?
