The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: You Won't Hear That Anywhere Else

Episode Date: January 5, 2024

Stugotz delivers a brand new Lamar Jackson take and another HUGE hot take...but it might be recycled from God Bless Football. Then, the crew goes to the Bucket of Death for the final time this season in a week that's very confusing for picking games, and Tony has an unreal Nikola Jokic Stat of the Day. Plus, Lucy wept at the Rose Bowl and we take a look at the video from her experience after discussing who to root for in the National Title game. Learn more about your ad choices.

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Welcome to the big, sweet, presented by Giraffe King. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants, just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries

that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Dan, I've known you for a long time, and I feel like you're a principal person and usually on the right side of arguments.

And I know you feel more alone than you ever have, but do you believe in your conviction? Do you believe in what it is you're saying? Because if you do, bleep everyone else. I appreciate you saying that as opposed to the way we ended last segment, which was to got genuinely saying, soon as we went off the air when the bleeper We getting to Lamayn, my Lamar Jackson take that off. We're going to do that in a second But yes, of course, how could I not both keep my convictions and feel more and more alone as I see gun deaths going up and

Florida is more free about guns and people keep moving to Florida and out of the places that are more liberal because if we're headed toward a fight or a civil war or something that looks like the modern equivalent, best to be safe with your neighbors in Florida where they allow more things that I'm not comfortable with. So next segment for Lamar. Not sure I'm following. Time to get to the other potentially unvaxed quarterback. Which part, which part are you not following, Jessica,

that I would feel alone in Florida with Cuban, with my Cuban people who think I'm a Guzano, or worm, because I don't ride with some of my people's politics, and Florida is becoming a safe haven, a welcome place, where residents, a record number of residents are moving out of New York, more than anywhere in the United States,

and San Francisco is falling apart in a way that's pretty empirical and scary, and people are moving to Florida. What about Chicago? I mean, they're also two. I haven't looked at the data, but they're two of the most expensive real estate markets and shit just owning a house, renting, cost a ton of money. Miami also was very, very expensive. I don't feel like I'm saving much money

by living here instead of living in New York, but I don't know. I don't feel like I'm safe in a state that has one of the laxist gun control rights in the entire country. I don't know. I'm also not a lot of me put it in my chair. I myself did. I don't know if I should get a gun or a chair. Not to be a pregnant person with a, you know. Like that kid.

Get two guns. One for you. When they're complicated pregnancy. Yeah. I don't know. I'm just not following today kid. Get two guns. One for you once a good. When the complicated pregnancy. Yeah. I don't know. I just haven't just not following today, but that's okay. That's it. It's been weird.

Yeah. It's just going to be a little bit that wire and it threw everything off. Never forget the time my grandfather looked me in the eyes and told me Michelle Obama's woman. Yeah. Watch my world. Stugants. Let's let's everybody get out of the way.

Stugats has been wanting all week. He's got something for Lamar Jackson. I don't know what it is. Right. But I've been waiting for it all week and you have stumbled in here of soaked in medicine and eager to tell Lamar Jackson something that has not been said by anyone.

Every year, Dan, you know I like to do this right around playoff time. I like to list the quarterbacks that have the most amount of pressure on them. And this year, I don't care what happens this weekend. This year, that quarterback is Lamar Jackson. Everything has broken correctly for Lamar Jackson. And if you want to be considered one of the elites, two MVP's before the age of 26, not going to do it. You have everything right in front of you.

Everything is there for the taking. You have the number one seat. You have the buy week. You have two home games to make it to the Super Bowl. You have the chiefs, a team that has been great for the last seven or eight years they are down. You have no Joe Burrow. If you get to the Super Bowl, you're likely going to play Brock Purdy or Jared golf. If not now, when for Lamar Jackson, and

if he wants us to stop excluding him from elite quarterback conversations, then he has to get it done this year because Dan, I am telling you, it will never be easier this year ever. It is a tire career that it will be for him this year. He has it all right in front of a bed, dolphin team, a team that's down, that's injured. He has the chiefs in my homes, they're dead. No Joe Burrow, Dan, this is the year. They are an overwhelming favorite to make it to the Super Bowl

and win the Super Bowl. And I am telling Lamar Jackson right now. If you want me to include you in top to your quarterback conversations, moving forward, you better get it done this season. All right. So it in the Super Bowl! There it is, the official announcement

from Stugan's Lamar Jackson, you've done nothing. I haven't. Do it in the Super Bowl. Yeah. I mean, you want to shut Bill Paulion up, then this is how you do it. You go to the Super Bowl, you win the Super Bowl because it's never going to be easier for you would agree.

Right? He's already done that, Stu. He's already shut Bill Paulion up. He's won two MVP pieces of court. I mean, he doesn't completely shut him up. It's until he gets to the Super Bowl. How would you categorize an overwhelming favorite in the conference?

I feel Mike. Are they not asking overwhelming favorites? The number one C with two home games to get to the Super Bowl. But they do actually put prices on these things. So what do you think constitutes an overwhelming favorite? I would say like minus 1,500 or something like that. Well, they are not that.

They are plus money to make it to the Super Bowl. They're the favorite within their own conference, but to say overwhelming might be a bit of a reason. or something like that? Well, they are not that. They are plus money to make it to the Super Bowl. They're the favorite within their own conference, but to say overwhelming might be a bit of a reason. Tony, why do you have a giant radiant smile on your face? Is it because you just witnessed Maximum's through God's and you're still odd as a kid who grew up in this market. As a kid whose father, you know, he's trying to help them all around.

I wanted to discuss them when we talk about elite quarterbacks on this show. And I can't because he hasn't what it's about. Tony's father and you elbowed each other for space in the English Spanish market of sports radio and Miami. And Tony was just beaming as if he walked into a museum and was looking at a piece of art. I saw my mentor doing his stuff, having that one last fastball down the plate that's smoked by the batter. Like, he was saying in the same couple of segments that one, you should be confident in the Miami Dolphins and then two saying, you have a bad dolphin team, you're just gonna see him roll.

That was that, this is the best. Here's another take I'll give you guys while we're at it, okay? I am telling you, if I'm a dolphin fan, I want to lose this Sunday, I would rather go to Kansas City that have the Texans and CJ strides role in the town. A 22 year old kid doesn't know any better, really talented. I think there's seven and one in his last eight starts. I would rather go to Kansas City, get them early, then play at home and get CJ strides. How about that? You won't hear that anywhere. He's not guaranteed to make the playoffs. This is an ass and I ain't taking.

These are the bills, I mean. Mike, please, I've got to stop this real quick. Billy, please, I need your attention for a second because you clearly couldn't have been listening to that segment because I made one simple request. He's already heard of you. So God's ended that with the dismount. You won't hear that anywhere else.

And I heard it through his soundproof door when he was taping God bless football. It's a take he's already given. More exclusively to God bless football when he says you won't hear that anywhere else. You will literally hear it in the last place he was taping. He gave the ridiculous take already. This is a recycled take we're getting here, Billy. Why? I asked you specifically, when he's doing recycled-reheated shit work around here to alert me when we're getting the laziest of recycled content.

Why is he ending up sentenced with? You got them R first. You won't hear that anywhere else when he already was giving that take 45 minutes ago. This one had a different twist to it. Right. It was very close. It's like Coke and Coke Zero.

Diet Coke, Coke Zero. What's the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero? The can color. Mike, you were in your phone there. Is it because you're bored? The same thing that was making two. You can't let him get away with that. What is this guy talking about?

That is the worst take of all time. That's true. I was in my phone looking at odds just to try to wrap my brain around the thing that I won't hear anywhere else. And it is a pretty interesting scenario. And that's the second most favored team inside the A of C to win the conference is a team that might not make the playoffs

all together headed into the final week in the Buffalo builds. Yeah. That's crazy. Jessica, you're only rooting interests here to have a folding table and a tent that I've now promised to fund through draft Kings and Metal Arc, a party that is the Smeddy bowl in the parking lot in Miami. If indeed, this is a dream scenario for the dolphins. Steelers at home first playoff game.

Isn't that what the dolphins would ask for it? I'd rather go to Kansas City. Steelers are the Colts. Trust me, you want to play the Steelers. Get the Chiefs early. I'm going to get a spinach dip, buffalo chicken dip. Half two. Helping your popper dip.

Half two. Potato salad, coleslaw, no. Depends on the potato salad, you can go New York style, you can go Southern style, depends. We're gonna have just an array of public steps. And public subs too. I'll get a little like Spine, big chicken,

Tendi sub. It's gonna be great. Might as well get the little poppers too. I love those. Those go quick though. Yeah, go quick. I'll get my own personal rotisserie chicken, of course. I've got a controversial question to ask.

I've never asked in the history of this show. What is the one item that everyone in our audience would say that is item draft pick selection number one tailgate because you mentioned public subs and that's one of the first things I went to. But I don't know what would be, is there a universal consensus on, number one overall pick for a tailgate is blank.

Yeah, well actually the answer's pretty simple because nothing pairs with our national obsession of football quite like a 96 calorie, a Miller like that beautiful white can, from kickoff to the final whistle. That is what I was thinking. It's exactly what I was thinking. Beer and only one kind of beer.

You're gonna wanna beer, that tastes like beer, number one. And it hits your taste buds so hard, you feel it in your heart. You know, it's one multiple beer cups. Yeah, really? They don't just give those things away. And it's triple hops brood. They could've quit after two.

But they decide, you know what, let's brew these with hops one more time Come into a smettable near you. Yeah, it's why I've never done the show It's such an obvious dumb question like before when I drank beer I didn't know if I had a heart, but then I drank this beer and I was like oh It touches my heart I have a heart. He's like beer. I have a heart. Yes.

Unbelievable. I love this winter weather. It's great excuse to go outside and toast some wonderful memories with some friends Why don't you do that with an ice cold Miller light in your hand and in some parts of the country? You don't need a coosie. It just stays cold out there How wonderful is that? Take a sip my friends look around reflect on your year You made a lot of good calls and no call better than having this Miller light right now A beer that is brewed for taste. You know it's triple hops brewed They could have stopped brewing it twice with hops, but they didn't. They went that extra mile. And they brewed it with hops three times. The original light beer since 1975 and still the best

I was just excited to let you know, because I knew you'd be excited for all the costumes. Yeah, I left the house today. My poor wife is like surrounded by just materials that she is trying to prepare for the watch party. I have a costume grid of death punishment.

What is that? What does that mean? Pay on Sundays. There was a lot of, there were arts and crafts in the living room all over the floor. By trying. Just watch us suffer on Sunday. That's it. Undersell. Not there's materials all over the room. No, I'm just saying, no, when she's, I don't want to talk about this. I don't enjoy doing this.

You brought it up. I didn't bring it up. Jeremy whispered to me that I'd lost eight straight weeks and then Mike played this music I then make you feel when you saw your wife making a costume aroused All right, I'm gonna go ahead and pick from the bucket of death Oh, I got the 49ers Wow big game against the Rams huh Sam Sam Darnold versus Carson Wentz. Alright producers, I do not have any spreads in front of me.

I need some spreads so that I can help you. Spreads no matter. Let's do this with starting quarterbacks. Let's do this with starting quarterbacks. That's fair. Currency for friends over draft. I believed that Sam Darnold should win the Heisman in 2017, so I'm going to keep this.

Oh God. 43. 43. You must see. By the way, so I'm gonna keep this. Oh, God. Oh, God. I need three, you must see. One, nine, four, by the way, minus four for last. All right. Do the Rams need it? Or they're secured. I think the Rams are secured.

Okay. I'm picking for Chris. He's weird if they were starting Carson Wentz and they weren't. And we'll go. And we'll go. Because I have the golden helmet of life, I only lost once this year.

I've lost. That's your life. It's straight wheat. year. That's the year of my life. It's straight wheat. It's tanky. Packers, this is for Chris Cody. Number one. Jordan Love, again, Justin Fields. Oh, wow.

Packers, bears. Ugh, I'm gonna keep this because the bears don't have historically. The bears have been good though. Packers need this one. Stegats. This is the bears. All right. Don't have bears. Chris Cody's keeping the packers. That's the bear's. All right.

The Jell of Bears. Chris Cody's keeping the packers. As far as the games go this weekend, that's not a bad one to have. Lucy has the felcans. Ooh. Hmm. What's that? That could be Heinecke.

That could be Ritter. It is certainly Derek Carr. Putting that one back. That's how we're doing this. We're simply going to. It's also three and a half. Two quarterbacks. This is a weird week, right? You. We're simply going to. But it's also 3 and a half. Two quarterbacks. This is a weird week, right?

Nobody wants to bet that Raven's game. Correct. They're going to be trying to rest everybody. All over that stealer's game. Detroit. Lucy gets Detroit. Favorites over the Vikings. Are they not locked in at their position?

They're not. They have to win that game. They have a matter. Outside chance to improve their positioning. They have a 98% chance of the three seed. But they might be able to go to two if they win that game, are they going to be playing that game as if they care? It is golf versus Nick Mullins.

I'm keeping the line. Well, I have to be telling you. Even if they don't care. Nick Mullins. Willow did the Falcons. I'm putting that back. Again, no Falcons. Did Willow winner lose last week?

She won. We put back the Jags' Helmout. New they were going to lose. Got the Raiders. Big ups at over the Chiefs. Willow winner lose last week? She won! We put back the Jags helmet, knew they were going to lose, got the Raiders, big upset over the Chiefs, Willow wins, and Wizard of Oz for Willow. Lions, Tigers, Bears, any of those. You got the Bengals, Jake Browning versus Jeff Driscoll, that would be your Tiger. But I think maybe Lions and Jared Goff, two week. Wow. I've got the Miami Dolphins 3 point dog last I checked. I don't know if that line has gone up at all last I check three point dog

It's two versus challenge. Wow Tony Tony Billy. What would you do in this situation? I've got the line I've got the dolphins helmet. Who what would you do dolphins? situation? I've got the line. Tony has the dolphins helmet. Who, what would you do? Dolphins. He always wants to see me suffer though. So I, I know this trick from him. It's like, yeah, keep it buddy. It's going to be great.

Then the bills went by 40. And then I have to do it. But he wants you to show confidence. I mean, Tony, you haven't worn that many costumes this year. I'd prefer you talk that out for maybe four more minutes. All right, I'll keep it. They've lost once in a home. That's a good helmet this week.

I mean, it is. Two God's is the only one who believes in the dolphins. It seems like everyone else around here has checked out scared of injuries. Although I did say a loss would be better to go to Kansas City rather than have CJ Stratch rollin' in y'all in deep, right? I'll say.

I'll say. That's right. He's not gonna hear that anywhere else. He's beating the cults, I mean. God bless football. I went out earlier today where he has re-heated that take four or five times now. Billy, what do you have there? I have the Seahawks.

Ooh, they need it. The Seahawks are at the Cardinals. Smith at Kyler Murray. Yeah, however, by the time the Seahawks game kicks off, they will know their fate. So I'm going to put it back because it could be a situation where they are not playing for anything and they know it That is why he is the duke the internationally acclaimed fourth ranked best football analyst in the world I got a T.Y.F.Y.S helmet. Thank you for your service. So I have an armed service and they're They're done. So I guess I get their first game next.

Yeah, you want to take the Coast Guard? The arm services are totally done playing football. Well, if I basketball though. Oh yeah, you can do that. Yeah, I'll wait till next football season. I'll give it a thing, see. All right, make sure we chart that play. Yeah, I'm sure Billy will be on top of the scheduling on that.

I'm sure that I will. I'm sure that I will deny it and this will have you know. And I've paid off all of my debt this year What are you eating toast? You think that's a good idea to do that when we're at microphones. I didn't think I was gonna be questioned on my integrity Graham spin it back Rams are four-point dog at San Francisco God dammit I think the Rams again God, dammit. I picked the Rams again. That's just clumsy.

That's just, you're supposed to keep the helmet out. No, you gotta put it back in. No one can have lost H3 times. Has that ever happened before? I've got the New Orleans Saints, so I'm gonna be putting that one back. They need it. That has not happened before, Roy. The Saints are a three point favorite

at home against the Falcons. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to pass up on that opportunity. Thank you very much. I have been taking the Kansas City Chiefs that are starting Blaine Gabbard. Yeah. But I think they're playing Eastern stick.

They're a good charger, yeah. I think I upgraded, honestly. There in a three and a half point dog, you were a three point favorite. What are you talking about? I like this, I like this more. What do you, Eastern Stick is a three time national champion. There's something there with him by the way.

Mike, you're a man who likes the numbers around betting and value. You just swung seven points in the wrong direction and you said I like my brand newness. I trust him. I don't trust his chiefs either. I got the cults. The Indianapolis culture at home,

they are one point dog against the city of Cal. Put it in the back. It'd be weird. CJ Strauss going to the Super Bowl, huh? You haven't heard that anywhere. Here we go. Give me the Texans. Give me the Texans.

Give them to me. The bells. Stugots is now in a such a winning position because publicly it's got the applause of I'm the only one who believes in the dolphin. Yeah, but why does he always win? He always wins. I got the Tampa Bay box. He did it. You put the panther. Did you already put it back? You put that back. You took a you put Baker main field.

Five and a half point favor. Tampa Bay bugs who need it. He wants to dress up against a carol. I'm against a Carolina Panthers. You put that back. It was this knife loss in a row. Is it fully back in the bucket? No, it's back.

It's back. Oh wow. He wants to dress up. I'm telling you make it nine straight weeks He has materials there is a skill to this game Now I have the Viking ooh Nick Mullins congratulations. How do you feel about that one? They need it Minnesota? Is on the road at Detroit is on the road at Detroit. That was terrible. What I just did there. I deserve it.

Unless. Nas bad is me picking the Rams twice. No, it's worse. It's worse. Roy also had the golden helmet of life, apparently. I'm not. But you already picked. No, no, no.

You already picked. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're supposed to remind me of that. Get no. I don't mind you. I'm supposed to try to help you out. I'm supposed to remind you of your privilege. What? I'm supposed to remind you. I think you just reminded us of our privilege by sending him to jail.

No. Yes. He's going to dig in on this one. Not so left, are we? Yeah. Had the golden helmet of life, I do not need to remind him of his privilege. He needs to remember that he has the golden helmet of life.

Oh, yeah. Six wins in a row for the panties, Dan. Get out. Okay, bye. You're in jail. Tony has a stat of the day for us. That was a fun basketball night last night's two gods because again, was a fun basketball night last night's two gods because again, while a seven foot three rookie is playing against someone known as the Greek Freak and after that game the Greek Freak says he's not seven three, he's taller than that.

The freakyest thing to happen last night was not in that basketball game. It was at the buzzer, the Warriors against Denver, the defending champion Denver Nuggets, as Yokech again put off a ridiculous stat line and still gots. Yokech did an interview earlier this week in which he said a couple of things that are absolutely true and show why he's kind of joyless. One, he said winning the championship was more relief than feeling anything good. I got that. And two, he said of his fame and celebrity, it makes him sad that everywhere he goes, somebody

just pulls out a video camera and records him. He doesn't feel good about his fame. He doesn't like it. It makes him sad. That person was as happy as you will ever see him. Happier than winning one, the championship because at the buzzer, it's the greatest feeling in sports. He hits a 40 footer. So get me the stat of the day, music, please.

Star of the day, star of the day, and it's the start of the day. Star of the day, star of the day, and it's the start of the day. Star of the day, star of the day, and it's the start of the day. Star of the day, Star of the day, and this is Star of the day. Star of the day, Star of the day, and this is Star of the day. Guys, Nikola Yokic has missed five shots in his last four games. No way.

Five shots in his last four games. One of them was at the buzzer last night and he didn't miss that one either. And it was from Havkord and Stan Van Gundy's analysis, but you've got to be shitting me. I was arguing back here earlier that I think Yokeitch might actually be the best center I've ever seen play basketball. I mean, not that you've seen. You never seen me. No, I mean, I saw Shaq, right?

Shaq was pretty amazing, but Yokeitch is better, right? Had that take like over the summer. Yeah, he's a great center ever. Yes, move on. Last four games. Including last night, 13 to 16, Monday night, 6 to 7, Friday night, 9 to 10, Thursday night, 11 to 11. Put it on the pole, please. Is yogic 10 times better than wilt?

I'm still surprised. Dan Libertard. It's just more than a performance, but we may be established on the song reasonable now. Yeah, so that's it. I'm so done! Please stop! I'm so done! Stop everyone with the space to our way, please! More than you do! Stugats!

I always like leaving a fan on chicken. Hahaha! Because he's so vulnerable, I just unfairly fade down the chickens. He just only look at myself. This is the Don Lebatar Show with its two cats. We are just days away from the final college football game of the season. I'm excited. I'm nervous. I'm scared. I'm going to be taking shots of caffeine on Monday because the game starts at 730, which

is not as late as the sugar bowl was, but we'll see about that. Are you actively rooting against Michigan? Greg Cody came in here because they're cheaters, you mean? Greg Cody came in here and said, we are all Huskies now. Washington's style of play, wildly fun, but they're going to get beat up inside because Michigan plays inside and Washington's defense has had trouble all year. I don't know.

I don't know if necessarily that's true. I do think that more people will be rooting for Washington as casual fans than Michigan because I think a Michael Penex is just he's one of my favorite college football players of probably my lifetime. He's so much fun to watch and he is just dropping dimes to those receivers. They are fun to watch. They have kind of just like they've had a chip on their shoulder. I and so is Michigan for for other reasons, but they haven't blown out teams

and they've played a really tough schedule. So that's partially why. But I think they felt a little disrespected. And now they're coming into the 15th game of the season, and which they haven't lost a game yet with the opportunity to knock off Michigan. Whereas Michigan has had this Michigan versus the world thing going on all season because of the recruiting violations and then because of the Conor Stallions thing and because they are looking for who did this. Right.

They feel like we're really good too. And it's not our faults that are non-conference schedule is so easy and no one really watch us. But Michigan's also, Michigan's also against the world is entirely self-created. Is it not, but now it's also true now. Well, they become hateable because of it. Yeah, and Penex is a type of athlete.

I think a lovable underdog that everyone likes his story. Now, by now, I was familiar with it. I think they'll rally around. Dan, you have not lost your fastball, by the way, because you had a sports take that genuinely agitated me, because you just blank it said, well, now the SEC is just gonna be running rough shot at this and without zero, like a zero sense of irony,

the two big 10 schools just knocked out two SEC schools. Oh, no, but because I believe the best SEC team, I don't know, this is a controversial take. Yeah, especially on the heels of two, like two teams in the SEC on those count taxes. They're losing to two big 10 schools. Mike, I watched Ohio State Michigan and Penn State play against each other this year. And that style of football, barbaric though it is primitive though it is does not feel to me as big and fast as what they're doing in the South. Now, we will see over the next 10 years

when Texas and Oklahoma do this southern football thing of playing against beefy football teams from up north, we are going to see whether Michigan gets crowned on playing tough guy football up front. But when Michigan was playing Penn State, both of them were just trying to run the ball into each other in the third and fourth quarter. I don't wanna watch that as football.

Well, there is a salad play, but that salad play did just do it against Bama. And I'm forgetting the teams that are coming into the big 10 as well. Oregon, Washington, who you love, they're a big 10 school. USC, these are different stylistically. The conference schedule is going to be amazing. I feel like it's even more bizarre now to like link schools together by their conference because like who are we counting as it does Washington counts as a big 10 school now

and Texas counts as an I don't understand how we're doing that. But I think Michigan was able to win the game because they flashed in the passing game in a way that they haven't been able to do because of I think various reasons in their last like four or five games I haven't had to also like that. JJ McCarthy play where he like just chucked it up and was able to find the receiver down field. I think everybody you might have seen that on a tip ball by the way. Yeah. On Twitter this week it was going like reviral again. Like those types of plays were what made

the difference in the game. I thought, because Alabama absolutely controlled the line of scrimmage for periods of the game in which I thought they were a field goal away or one drive away from just shutting Michigan out in the fourth quarter and they weren't able to do it. So it was really close. I don't think you can make any sort of like... I thought like Michigan should have won by more. I thought, yeah, I don't think you're... I saw a different first half.

I know second half that Alabama's trenches settled in, but I thought early on should have won by more. I thought, yeah, I don't think you're, I saw a different first half. I know second half that Alabama's trenches settled in, but I thought early on, it was pretty clear that Michigan was a better team than the trenches. But either way, let's relive this wonderful game that Lucy, Lucy, where is Lucy? Is she just missing? She took the week off. She wept more than she has ever wept

during a football game. So this is like bereavement leave because she was just became so. Who's in charge of that? I was expecting to talk to her this week. I'm allowed to take vacation. I've it works hard. I suspect that we'll find out why she's messing with. Are we doing this whole thing again? The Oh Lucy's not here. She's on vacation. I do not I will not allow this with Lucy. You did it with me. We'll not allow this.

Just doing a tease to a video in which we'll all find out together why she's not here. Here it is. Hi Dan, we are here at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. It is so beautiful out. I'm hoping it's the game of the year,

but I gotta be honest with you, Michigan fans. Kinda freaked me out. They scared me. I got off the airplane. It was Michigan fans everywhere in the airport. I felt immediately unsafe. So I brought on some security. My goal at junior. Lucy happy to help. I've got a lot of experience with the people wearing

amazing, amazing blue. So should be able to help out there. Unfortunately, I only have experience getting my ass kicked by the people from Tuscaloosa. So not going to be much help if they try and come. It's okay. I see now I will lose by 30 at the Rose Bowl before two. It's never bad. It's never bad. It's the night I will lose by 30 at the Rose Bowl before two. It's never fun. It's never fun. It's never fun. Are you nervous about today at all?

Not at all. Not even a little bit? No, roll tide. No time. There's no reason to be nervous at all. What's your prediction? I think Alabama's going to win by at least 20. At least 20?

At minimum. How many NFL interviews do you think Jim Harball takes this off season? Oh, uh, two. Raiders and chargers. Does it hurt your feelings when he does that? At this point now, it's kind of like, you know, it's just like having a girlfriend who's like threatening to leave you. And it's like at this point just do it, you know, like just do it. Connor Stallion deserves a statue outside of the stadium. Do you agree? I honestly do think Stallions probably grew up

with the dream of making an impact on Michigan football. So I don't know if he gets a statue, but Kudos to him because if you told a little kid, like me, when I was a Michigan fan growing up in diapers, you're gonna have this big of a name and impact in Michigan football. I'd probably be like, I'm going to go make that happen. I think that Stallion's really just made his dream come true.

So yeah, like good for him, right? That is the best way I've heard anyone describe what Connor Stallion's has done. He made his dreams come true. He did. He made his dreams come true. That's what America's about. He's the ultimate Michigan man. We love the Pac-12. We're Pac-12 guys ourselves. Scobuffs, Scostanford,

GoCards. That's what we love. That's what we do. Are you here like protesting? Are you trying to re-try? You know, you know, you know, when I think of the Pac-12, there are five things I think of. And it's it's brotherhood, tradition, family, sound learning, and championships. Thank you so much for your service, truly. Thank you, thank you. You're changing the world, my God. Thank you. Love you guys.

Hey, roll tide, let's go, roll tide money line. Yeah. We're going all the way to Nadi. We're going all the way to Houston. And we're going to carry that trophy. Yeah. Roll tide. Why are you carrying tight and toilet paper?

Because it's roadside, baby. Because it's roadside. Roadside, man. I should have seen that one coming. That actually makes an overwhelming amount of sense. That's what I was lost. It's chaos. I've lost control.

This is what happens when Lucy's off the mic. Do you watch the damn love of Tarcho's, too, Gats? I do not. Okay. Do you know what it is? I've heard it before and I'm embarrassed. I don't know it. Can you give me an explanation?

I barely knew it and I worked there. Okay. So you might want to learn more about this. Yes. Do you watch the Dan Levitar show as Sioux Gots? Absolutely. Every freaking day. I'll listen to it.

I count. I recognize you. Who's your favorite verse on the show? Answer wisely. Billy Gill. Bill. Bill. Billy Gill. Taylor is on the star. He deserves more face time I think.

I really agree with that as well. We need the show to the Gunner Geiger and Dan Leonard and Stughat Show. Who's Dan Leonard? Dan got a rose I broke it already but it's still fine we're still good there is like that was maybe my favorite college football game I've ever been to I don't I don't know what it is about the Rose Bowl when Krishman Cafe in Iowa are playing it is a fun it is like it is about the Rose Bowl when Christian McCafferian I will are playing. It is the most magical place on earth. I swear to God, Disneyland bottles up what they find here and then they bring it down to Anaheim.

The atmosphere, I don't know if I've ever heard a cry. I sound so old man, I don't know if I've ever heard a cry out loud bell. That's how I feel though, because it was insane. Michigan Fields were crazy. Alabama fans were less crazy, but they were still into it. I don't know what they were doing at the end. Bamba, that was questionable.

That was some of that play calling brother. Where do I know? Where do I know? I'm just on Gensie FB slash folk girls, whatever it's called these days. I had something so cute planned, something so concise. This is the second time we filmed this because the first time I was like, we went too long and I'm so just rambling again, but that was awesome.

This is the best sport. I don't care what anybody says, fight me. It's the best sport. Also, I'm not coming back to Miami this week. I don't want to. I'm going to go see Steeley Dan on concert instead. So if you need me, I'm busy going to see the Dan. It's just a lot of doing with the Dan.

I should be able to do it. Steeley Dan. Lou Gatz. Yeah. Lucy battered by the energy of the Rose Bowl. Just battered by it. Delirious. So not working.

So just not working because college football was the energy of that was too much for her. I think going to Steeely Dan counts as working. Stugots does too. Steely Dan Leonard. My cry and is about to just get some steely Dan over here as I again vigorously defend the controversial take that George's great at football and I think they are better than everyone else. And the reason Alabama beat them is because

they're coaches kind of amazing. Kind of amazing. What Nick Sabin has done, obvious. Both things very obvious. I also saw, and I know the bowl games don't mean anything because all of this is different now. I saw Lane Kiffin, ravaged James Franklin. Like Penn State, I was told is the best defense in football.

And at the top of that conference, what I have seen for 10 years is Penn State. Michigan State snuck in there for a year and we gave Mel Tucker a bunch of money. But the style of football that Michigan and Penn State and Ohio State have played, Ohio State has elevated what that has been because they can win with their third string quarterback when they get Urban Meyer. But the professional football has been played at the top of the SEC by Georgia and Alabama for the last 10 years with the don't exclude LSU either. Yeah.

I mean, taken any kind of result and projecting it. Yeah, they had the one of the best defenses in the nation and many of these is now coaching Duke. Bull games are weird like that. The SEC is a great conference. I'm not arguing that but to say that they're going to run roughshod is kind of ignoring what's happened to the landscape of college football. When the big 10 is adding the likes of Oregon, USC, Washington, again, next year, there's going to be a rematch and it's going to be a part of the conference schedule in the big 10.

Michigan versus Washington. I think it's an arms race between those two conferences at this point. I think what's cool about this matchup is that it's not two teams at the top of like the talent composite list. These are two teams with largely, you know, not the big five star names that have been coached really well by two excellent head coaches. And now we get to watch them play each other. And maybe it'll be the start of a new rivalry in the big 10. How does Lucy get a whole week off? Play each other and maybe it'll be the start of a new rivalry in the Big Ten.

How does Lucy get a whole week off?
