The Big Suey: Greg Scoops Himself

Speaker 1 All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka.

Speaker 4 Chris Cody, you're with me here.

Speaker 5 Smirnoff!

Speaker 3 Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff.

Speaker 6 Smirnoff! I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food?

Speaker 4 Smirnoff!

Speaker 6 Not your favorite game day drink.

Speaker 1 What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff!

Speaker 3 All right, here's the deal: game day is everything: the noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again. Smirnoff!

Speaker 6 Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff.

Speaker 3 Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 6 They've been doing it since 1864, which is... I don't even want to do the math.

Speaker 8 It's a long time.

Speaker 6 It's like when Greg Cody was born.

Speaker 9 They're award-winning.

Speaker 6 They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.

Speaker 3 So yeah, we do game days.

Speaker 1 That's their thing.

Speaker 3 And if you're over 21, you should too.

Speaker 10 Why, Chris? Smearing off.

Speaker 6 Grab a bottle of Smearinoff at your local retailer and head to Smearinoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Smearing off.
Please drink responsibly. Smearing off.

Speaker 6 Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume.

Speaker 8 The Smearinoff Company.

Speaker 3 New York, New York.

Speaker 6 Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. Smearing off.

Speaker 2 Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Speaker 13 Cuervo.

Speaker 14 What are you doing here? Cuervo.

Speaker 15 Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 16 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like, Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 15 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 16 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 13 Cuervo. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 18 Proximo, Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly.
Cuervo.

Speaker 19 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 20 It really does.

Speaker 1 I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.

Speaker 21 I've seen those waffle challenges.

Speaker 19 Those look delightful.

Speaker 19 You're stressing me out with that soundboard.

Speaker 23 Well, fantasy football is stressful.

Speaker 3 So stressful that it can lead to nighttime teeth grinding. Dentech's mouth guards help with nighttime teeth grinding.

Speaker 19 I'm actually a grinder, and it's a problem I have. And that's why Dentech wants to protect your teeth while raising the stakes with this fantasy season.

Speaker 8 Welcome to the big SUI,

Speaker 2 presented by DraftKings.

Speaker 15 Why are you listening to this show? A podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebetard podcast.

Speaker 23 I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

Speaker 15 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's prize if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys.

Speaker 5 I've done it.

Speaker 15 And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.

Speaker 9 This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours, Dan.

Speaker 15 It is. It is everyone's.

Speaker 15 We have Diana Rossini on with us this season, and it's nice to have her back. I hope we are joined by more impersonations of her mother than we have gotten in recent developments around here.

Speaker 15 There's a burning question on ESPN right now. I just want you guys to know.
And the question was: Notre Dame likely to run the table if they beat Miami on Sunday? And Lewis Riddick said yes.

Speaker 15 Burning question.

Speaker 15 Burning question. He's already saying Notre Dame undefeated if they win Sunday against Miami.

Speaker 16 They got a really hard schedule. Really hard schedule.
At Arkansas, Texas A ⁇ M, Boise State.

Speaker 2 Hard disagree.

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 15 That's good. Healthy disagreement.
I hope it gets inflamed the next three days.

Speaker 16 Regression candidate.

Speaker 15 Diana, before we get to all the football news going on, do you mind if I just call my friend Greg Cody here real quick again? Because

Speaker 15 we've got a breaking story around here, and I want to get your opinion on it as well. So just hold on for just a second, all right?

Speaker 16 She's said yes.

Speaker 27 Thank you, Chris. I have a story, so I need to just take a break.

Speaker 28 Oh, here's a whoa, whoa, dueling, breaking story.

Speaker 16 There's big breaking news in the NFL.

Speaker 15 Okay, there's big breaking news. Hold on a second, Greg.
We got big breaking news in the NFL, and Diana's reacting to it. Mike, what's the big breaking news?

Speaker 16 Adam Thielen, homecoming.

Speaker 27 Adam Thielen going back to Minnesota.

Speaker 15 There it is. Diana Rossini is on the story.
Greg Cody, you've been scooped. Adam Thielen is going back to Minnesota.

Speaker 15 We are calling you because Zaszlo is saying that as a journalist, he has a responsibility to

Speaker 15 tell the American people what your rankings of the Dolphins are because we have the news. We know what the number is, and Zaszlo wants to break the news before the Miami Herald prints it.

Speaker 30 You know, I can't stop him from doing that. Maybe the draft party Thursday night can be at Zaszlo's house if that happens.

Speaker 15 Okay, so

Speaker 15 you're threatening again to take the draft party if Zaszlo reports something that Christopher can't control because Zaszlo's a journalist?

Speaker 9 By livelihood.

Speaker 30 Yes, even if he's totally guessing, if he says the correct number, the draft party Thursday will not be at my house.

Speaker 9 Tell Christopher that. I would never guess, though, because I have journalistic integrity.
I wouldn't guess. I'll do that.

Speaker 30 Okay, if you say so.

Speaker 13 Well, we'll see.

Speaker 15 Well, wait a minute. So when is it coming out in the Miami Herald?

Speaker 30 Well, my boss just called me, but I was on the phone FaceTiming with Dan Levittard, so I couldn't take the call. So I might have an answer to that, but I couldn't take his call.

Speaker 4 Why don't you do a three-way call? Get your boss on the line, too.

Speaker 32 Well, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 34 It's Wild Billy Wednesday, after all.

Speaker 15 Go ahead. Call John Devine.
See what he's got.

Speaker 15 Give him a call. I'm sure you're very good with the FaceTime technology.

Speaker 31 Yeah, right.

Speaker 15 All right, but serious, Greg, we're not joking around. Zaslow feels like he's close to having the story, has the story? Close, close, close.

Speaker 15 Okay, but what, so if he does that, he can do this at 10.01, right? And he'll be okay, 10.01 a.m.

Speaker 15 I don't know yet when the when the Greg, we can't wait for you. We can't wait for you.
He's got the news.

Speaker 34 The news doesn't wait till the news

Speaker 29 breaks when the news breaks.

Speaker 15 You said 10 o'clock. We need to break the news.

Speaker 30 As Mike Ryan, the adult in the room, mentioned a few minutes ago, it is totally the choice of your team,

Speaker 30 your show team, when

Speaker 15 this is revealed. Zaszlo's a journalist.
We can't control what Zaszlo reports. I couldn't keep my engagement from you.

Speaker 9 The show stops when my integrity begins.

Speaker 30 Okay, fake journalist Zaszlo can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 19 I'm on the website. I think it's out.

Speaker 17 You can stop that.

Speaker 30 But I can't. You could stop him on behalf of me,

Speaker 36 but apparently you won't.

Speaker 15 What do you mean, stop him?

Speaker 34 What kind of

Speaker 34 hosting the draft Thursday night, but that's not a behind the behavior.

Speaker 15 That's not journalism.

Speaker 15 It's not journalism for me to stop him from doing journalism. Like, what do you so? News isn't news when it just regards you?

Speaker 15 Why can't we have the clicks and the views from where it is you rank the dolphins?

Speaker 35 That's how state control news works.

Speaker 9 That's not how I work.

Speaker 30 Okay.

Speaker 30 This conversation is beyond absurd.

Speaker 30 It's beyond absurd. Hang on.

Speaker 30 Hang on just a second.

Speaker 15 Are you calling John Devine like Billy requested?

Speaker 4 Well, Thalin got traded.

Speaker 6 There's a lot of people reporting. So

Speaker 26 I'm just looking here.

Speaker 15 Diana's chair is empty. Thank you, Greg, for all your hard work on the show.
You've forgotten that we're doing the show again.

Speaker 36 I'm just looking here.

Speaker 15 Like, this is what happens with him. It is fundamentally amazing that he is at this age somebody who still doesn't know when we're doing the show.
But I think Zaslow has to break this news.

Speaker 15 And before we get back to Diana Rossini here, Mike, the thing that you're doing talking Keynes football, is that the third game of the weekend? Is UM Notre Dame the third best game of the weekend?

Speaker 15 You have, for the first time ever in week one, you've got six top 10 teams playing against each other. That's crazy.

Speaker 15 And in the middle of it, you've got Arch Manning and you've got the history of Miami-Notre Dame, which is a nostalgia matchup.

Speaker 16 You have three top 10 matchups. That's the first time since 1945 that you've had that many top 10 matchups this early in the season.

Speaker 16 In fact, the last time that we've had three top 10 matchups was way back in 2017 in the same week.

Speaker 16 Ironically enough, that was when Miami beat the shit out of Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium back then. So this is a really exciting time.

Speaker 16 You have college football is putting its best foot forward and giving you the biggest possible spectacle to start the season to capitalize on no NFL. And on top of that, you have Lee Corso's farewell.

Speaker 2 I think without question, Canes Notre Dame is number two.

Speaker 9 I mean, we all know Texas Housing is number one. There's no disputing that.
But I think UM Notre Dame is ahead of Clemson L'sU.

Speaker 5 I agree.

Speaker 16 I think, especially if you look at the spread,

Speaker 16 that that is expected to be a closer game. But

Speaker 16 I'm as big a homer as there is when it comes to University of Miami. Arch Manning at the defending national champs in the big noon window is crazy.

Speaker 9 They're not sending me there because it's not the biggest game, Dan.

Speaker 15 Well, tell us about where you're going this weekend, Zaszlo, as part of your college football coverage as a rising star at ESPN weekend. It's out.

Speaker 12 Say it, Zaszlo. It's out.

Speaker 9 I just got a text that it's out.

Speaker 7 I didn't have the confirmation yet. Oh, no.

Speaker 31 He undercut us.

Speaker 33 Oh, that's what he was doing.

Speaker 28 That's what he was doing.

Speaker 34 That's cool. That's what he was doing.

Speaker 15 That is garbage. He's getting the clicks.

Speaker 18 He's getting the clicks.

Speaker 34 All right, so hold on a minute.

Speaker 12 He scooped himself.

Speaker 15 Before you tell us where it is that he ranked the Dolphins, I want to throw my theory in front of the audience and Chris as well

Speaker 15 billy what are you laughing about back there because i saw where you ranked that okay all right all right now wait i want to guess here i want to guess what's happened here uh because uh zaslow

Speaker 15 you have found greg cody okay i think i i think i have it but but if you were saying it's already out i think i have it now Okay, you've gotten the text that you need in order to. All right, so.

Speaker 9 You have to get double confirmation in journalism, Dan.

Speaker 15 I got it now. All right, so, but you're telling me that Greg Cody's now scooped himself by putting it on the internet.

Speaker 15 Damn him, he's faster than we are.

Speaker 12 He would have known he was tweeting. He got so distracted.

Speaker 32 He's like, what I'm doing here.

Speaker 5 He couldn't do both things.

Speaker 35 He came in.

Speaker 5 He concocted a plan while talking to you.

Speaker 29 He was doing multiple things at once.

Speaker 15 He was so dim-witted and yet outsmarted us. And all the while, Diana Rossini has fled the room because Adam Thielen has been traded.

Speaker 9 I mean, I don't know if that's bigger than where Greg Cody has, the very average mommy dolphins ranked.

Speaker 15 All right, so I know, my dear audience, I know that I've been on this Greg Cody thing about, I don't know, seven hours too long.

Speaker 15 But

Speaker 15 I believe what happened here is this. Chris Cody yesterday correctly said what his father had put the dolphins at, which was 14.

Speaker 15 Greg Cody misinterpreted that as Chris Cody looked at my computer and became immediately enraged, escalated toward us, all sorts of threats. And now I believe he went home and changed where they are.

Speaker 15 But he's not going to drop him out of the top.

Speaker 15 He won't drop them out of the top 16 because he will have them in the top half of the league because he's a homer forever.

Speaker 19 I would think he might even go up with them just to throw us a curveball because we would assume he'd go down with them.

Speaker 9 See, this is interesting.

Speaker 9 I'm going to tell you now what I found out, okay?

Speaker 9 I had them based on my sources, all right,

Speaker 9 that he had them 14.

Speaker 7 But

Speaker 9 were my source is wrong, because that's, I'm looking at his article right now.

Speaker 7 He just tweeted out two minutes ago.

Speaker 9 That's not where they're ranked. They're not ranked 14.

Speaker 15 I think he changed it. I think he changed it for no other reason.

Speaker 18 And

Speaker 15 if I had to guess, the betting favorite would be 15. Is that the betting favorite?

Speaker 19 I go 16. 15 is too easy.
It's like one spot down. He's going to get crazy.

Speaker 15 No, but he doesn't know that we're on to him, though. He doesn't know that.
I don't think he knows.

Speaker 19 He knows I said 14 yesterday.

Speaker 23 He thought I knew that.

Speaker 9 That's what my sources said. Yeah.

Speaker 19 So So I think he goes to 16.

Speaker 15 Billy, what was it?

Speaker 20 He has them at 15.

Speaker 4 He also has them making the playoffs, but he has them at 8 and 9. So he has them making the playoffs with a losing record.

Speaker 36 Covering all his bases.

Speaker 37 He can be wrong in multiple facets, but he could also be right in one of those areas.

Speaker 17 The conviction he had for over seven and a half wins is not match effort in it.

Speaker 17 He was so strong on hammer over seven and a half.

Speaker 37 He proved it right.

Speaker 11 He took him at eight.

Speaker 18 Holidays, fun.

Speaker 19 Holidays as a dad, tough.

Speaker 38 Travel, gifts, matching pajamas. Don't get me started on matching pajamas.
It's hot in Miami. My wife says, why don't you want to do this with us? My daughter's crying.

That means the football games are more important.

Speaker 32 That means football time should be Miller time.

Speaker 5 Game day hits different with a Miller light in your hand.

Speaker 41 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 2 Well, Charlie sent Charlie had this.

Speaker 11 Charlie, as far as I know, so just Charlie's title in my

Speaker 41 Stugats.

Speaker 15 How familiar were you at the time with Chewbacca?

Speaker 33 Like how your upbringing

Speaker 15 had how much Chewbacca in it?

Speaker 41 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 15 Diana, off the top of your head, if you had to go one through 32, where would you put the dolphins?

Speaker 27 And what are you scribbling so furiously i hate the life of an insider i feel bad for you oh hi guys yeah so adam tiela just got traded um or at least it's getting finalized right now uh from the carolina panthers back to minnesota uh obviously you guys know minnesota has got some problems um at wide receiver terms of suspensions and injuries so uh it's a big reunion he wanted to go there uh the thing that's wild about this is on this story Even late afternoon yesterday, there was a lot of frustrations because it appeared both sides were not close to coming to an agreement.

Speaker 27 That Carolina knew very much so that

Speaker 27 Minnesota really wanted to make this work. I think Thielen wanted to go back to Minnesota as well.

Speaker 27 And everyone yesterday said

Speaker 27 this, this is probably not going to happen. They're being really difficult on this.
So the fact that it shook out.

Speaker 27 So Minnesota gets Thielen, and Carolina gets a fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick back. So yeah, Life of an Insider is stupid, but it's also really fun.
The Dolphins out of 32,

Speaker 27 27.

Speaker 27 I have, I have a lot of concerns for them this year. I do.

Speaker 27 There's just a lot of smoke around them.

Speaker 27 Obviously,

Speaker 27 we've heard enough of all the things that are going on behind the scenes there. And obviously, with trading away Jalen Ramsey,

Speaker 27 I just think this is a team that needs to find itself this year. And

Speaker 27 Tua, who appears to continue to take steps forward here in terms of his play,

Speaker 27 this has got to be the year where he can figure it out. And, you know, there's some rumors going around that the Dolphins were open to perhaps trading Tyreek Hill.

Speaker 27 And from what I can gather,

Speaker 27 that doesn't appear to be on the table. They know they need him.
They need him out there to help this offense. But yeah, I don't feel great about them right now.

Speaker 40 Diana, back on Thielen real quick.

Speaker 16 Carolina is thought to be a team, hopefully on the rise, given how they closed last season. Not really a team that that was interested in selling.

Speaker 16 I imagine that was a sticking point when it came to the compensation here. Is this

Speaker 16 a ringing endorsement of where Macmillan is in his progression? Because without Thielen, that wide receiver core does take a hit.

Speaker 27 Yeah, no, and look at it from...

Speaker 27 Dave Canalis and Dan Morgan's perspective here, right? They are trying to build something and they're trying to get the most out of a quarterback that, you know, has been really up and down.

Speaker 27 And Adam Thielen brings that great veteran presence

Speaker 27 and confidence that they have in him that he can do this job.

Speaker 27 So it made a lot of sense that Carolina was being tough about it.

Speaker 27 I kind of understood their perspective on it.

Speaker 27 But they obviously made the decision here in the end that they are better off trading Adam Thielen now to at least get something in return for a 35-year-old wide receiver

Speaker 27 rather than just have him this year and get nothing for him next year.

Speaker 27 So, I'm sure Minnesota is thrilled right now as they are. I'm told they are currently trying to work out

Speaker 27 the contract situation for Adam Thielen.

Speaker 18 Diana, would we make your life easier right now if we just let you go?

Speaker 15 Because I don't love the stress that we're putting you under. You're in the middle of something and you needed to,

Speaker 15 you're all right, because I feel like your head is racing because Adam Thielen.

Speaker 27 I'm just doing what I have to do, which is like three jobs at once.

Speaker 33 Okay, so you you have to do this one.

Speaker 27 If this is bad radio, then I get it.

Speaker 18 No, no, no, it's no, it's not bad.

Speaker 15 I just don't want to keep you. I don't want to keep you from your job at the athletic where you're always busy being an insider.

Speaker 15 But the news that you're getting here on Adam Thielen that makes it that we can't talk to you about the rest of the league because the league stops when Adam Thielen gets traded.

Speaker 31 What are you.

Speaker 27 The league doesn't stop.

Speaker 16 No, the whole thing.

Speaker 5 The whole league.

Speaker 34 No, everything.

Speaker 15 Your life just shut down. Look, I saw what, Diana, we're doing a show with you.
It's a substantive show. You run out of the screen for 10 minutes because Adam Thielen's been traded.

Speaker 15 I thought a baby was microwaving a phone again.

Speaker 15 And I don't know why it made you that crazy, but you left what we were doing for 10 minutes. And now you're back, but you're distracted.
You're obviously distracted.

Speaker 27 Yes, I am distracted because it is my job to work for the athletic to get this intel for them. And it was a story that

Speaker 27 me and a couple reporters were working on together on this so yes this is what we're all about at the moment but in about 10 seconds no one's gonna probably care about an adam feeling trade um so yeah i i don't want to leave but if if you guys want me to come back i can do that

Speaker 27 uh it feels like both me and diana got scooped yeah i by greg cody by by the way has has we picked up on the pattern here that this happens a lot on this show

Speaker 15 i think i have to change my time slot i just think you're busy diana and i imagine your life to be this at all times and it it stresses me out because all you it's the gypsy's curse may all your dreams come true because here it is you're a spectacular football insider it never ends

Speaker 27 i'm gonna die soon

Speaker 15 chasing a story revelation chasing chasing a story you can come back in 30 minutes if you feel better you're welcome to spend time around us whenever you like Billy, that might be a prediction.

Speaker 15 Thank you, Diana.

Speaker 27 Thanks, guys.

Speaker 15 I do, I've read a lot, Shoms and

Speaker 15 Schefter talking about what the insanity and the thrill and the crack of being an insider is.

Speaker 15 And the idea that your life can stop right in the middle of your day because Adam Thielen has been traded because the information business is super valuable right now.

Speaker 15 And she's really good at her job. and that's one of the reasons she's great at her job because she goes and she attacks the story.

Speaker 9 Yeah, by all accounts, it's not terribly interesting news. Adam Thielen being traded.

Speaker 32 You shut up. I am so into this.
It's a homecoming.

Speaker 19 Like, where's the line, though? Because

Speaker 19 I thought he would have been on the other side.

Speaker 18 This is not that easy.

Speaker 16 Guys, everybody wrote him off, and he should have put up consecutive thousand-yard seasons for Carolina. He did not write back, Billy.

Speaker 16 He's got good football still left in him, and now he's headed back home.

Speaker 26 Good golf.

Speaker 16 This is big for J.J. McCarthy.
And yes, I care more because I golfed with him.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 15 I would also

Speaker 15 have everyone know that Adam Thielen over the last couple of seasons, doing it where he has done it with a quarterback that got rejuvenated because he still plays like a number one, is one of the great stunning things of my football lifetime to see, not just the entirety of his career, but that, wait a minute, you're going to keep doubting this guy the last two seasons when when Randy Moss goes to Oakland, he can't get to 1,000 yards, but wherever Thielen goes, he makes the offense better.

Speaker 17 Because he's white, right?

Speaker 26 Yes.

Speaker 15 And because he was injured, and I guessed that we all thought he was done when he got to Carolina, that he wasn't going to be taking any of the offense, but mostly because he was white. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Checks out.

Speaker 16 That's what I thought.

Speaker 15 The life of an insider, you don't want me to talk about the mental health perils anymore.

Speaker 35 What is the worst part of of the life?

Speaker 14 The best laugh.

Speaker 4 Zaz is an insider, though. You could tell us.
Yeah, I'm doing just fine.

Speaker 9 Look at this face. I'm looking good these days.
Look at me. I'm dressed up.

Speaker 15 I look nice today.

Speaker 15 You got beat on that story by Cody. It was embarrassing to watch.

Speaker 7 And you know what's the worst part? It's not that I got beat on it.

Speaker 9 It's that...

Speaker 11 We didn't pick up what was happening.

Speaker 32 We really

Speaker 5 underestimated him.

Speaker 12 It's normal for him to just lose his, like,

Speaker 23 trailing off. That wasn't that crazy of a thing.

Speaker 7 Like, do you think he, like, was he actually tweeting at the same time as he outsmarted us?

Speaker 32 We saw a text. It'll go out at 10.

Speaker 19 So he's like, all right, let me.

Speaker 20 He threw everyone off.

Speaker 2 He said, oh, I'm just checking something.

Speaker 4 And we're like, what's wrong with you? You don't know what you're doing. And he knew.

Speaker 7 When he hit that tweet button,

Speaker 9 he must have been so proud of me.

Speaker 4 He's wily.

Speaker 15 I will tell you that Chris is right when he says we underestimated him. And I stand before you in a live audience or sit before you in a live audience saying, oh my God, you guys just saw it.

Speaker 15 Our whole show got beat by by an old dim-witted man, like just got tricked and turned around by this senile old man as White Hat calls it.

Speaker 18 That'll make it better.

Speaker 16 I mean, 13 yards per catch. That's his best season in that stat since pre-COVID.

Speaker 19 Eight and nine after telling us to hammer the over is crazy.

Speaker 15 Roy, can you please find for me the sound, okay? Jessica Smitana and Mike Golick Jr. have together a podcast, Echoes.
It's a very good Notre Dame name. Echoes is good.

Speaker 15 I asked her what the second choice was. She said there were no second choices.
It was Echoes. And Notre Dame, Miami is about to happen.

Speaker 15 And who was the guest on Jessica's show to talk about Miami, Notre Dame?

Speaker 16 Ian Book. He came in and released that 2017 game.
And Jessica asked Ian about the atmosphere at Hard Rock Stadium on that fateful night in 2017.

Speaker 8 And then it was so loud, couldn't hear anything. And then I remember like actually having a pretty good drive when I went in there.

Speaker 8 I threw a a whole shot to Equinemius, started to drive down the field, thinking we'd maybe get three points or something before half, and then threw a pick six. Welcome to the turnover chain.

Speaker 8 So that was my experience, but

Speaker 8 it was, it was hostile. And I remember for the

Speaker 8 until we went down to Georgia, it was a loudest place. I honestly, it might be louder than Georgia.
I was like, top two loudest places I've ever played in my career.

Speaker 16 Louder than Michigan?

Speaker 26 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Louder than Michigan.

Speaker 16 Blacksburg.

Speaker 8 Louder. Yeah.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Louder than Cape Canaveral when a rocket goes off.

Speaker 16 Louder than when Mike Piazza hit that walk-off in Chase Stadium after 9-11. Louder than when Stone Cold Steve Austin helped mankind win the WWF title.

Speaker 32 Go away.

Speaker 16 No, that's the Austin pop. Oh, you could see how much this meant to Jessica on that video.

Speaker 16 Not happy that that was the answer.

Speaker 9 Why is it so hard for people to believe that people in Miami can be loud about sports?

Speaker 16 The thing is, it's like such a crazy cell phone because we're capable of that kind of atmosphere, and we don't really dial it up to that level nearly enough.

Speaker 40 People are right to take shots. We don't give it away.

Speaker 32 You got to earn it. Well, I think on Sunday they're going to earn it.

Speaker 16 I mean, it's a top 10 matchup at Hard Rock Stadium against a hated rival that hasn't won down here in Miami since 1981. And usually, they get their asses handed to them when they come down here.

Speaker 15 So, Mike Ryan is about to do five hours of Twitchy cocaine where he talks Kane's football all afternoon because

Speaker 15 if you're going to get into the nostalgia of sport with The Last Dance or with the Cowboys documentary or wherever it is that your grandfather or grandmother or father or mother passed down the stories, Notre Dame, Miami has no real good reason to be a rivalry other than before all the chaos of today with the conferences, like a couple of independents kept facing each other, and then it became a holy war, Catholics versus convicts, and it was delightful.

Speaker 15 It was just magical and partly racist television that were, yeah, just so the convicts from Miami, and they made a couple of three movies about it, one of them from Notre Dame's side, because they played at the top of the sport and they were so different.

Speaker 15 And so you have a clash here

Speaker 15 of what you can say are historical Titans. And Jimmy Johnson began his rise as unpopular when he kicked Notre Dame's ass on television and ran up the score.

Speaker 15 And Notre Dame, I think, who was the broadcast ever, was it Araparsegan just wailing on like, have some dignity, have some class, because that's where, you know, Miami passed Notre Dame.

Speaker 15 You're about to do like five days of tailgating toward this thing, correct?

Speaker 14 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 16 Bunch of idiots are flying in town for this one. This one's going to be great.
I'm super excited about this because I'm super excited about the season. I get really jacked up for this rivalry.

Speaker 16 Notre Dame is coming off of season, in which they were unbelievable despite being hurt throughout the college football playoff.

Speaker 40 They earned that ranking.

Speaker 16 They were a runner-up and performed admirably against a much better Ohio State team given the mass unit that they became.

Speaker 16 I'm super jacked up about this because I also believe us to be a really good team, Miami. I think Miami is good.

Speaker 16 I think that there are perceived advantages, and most people may just blindly say, oh, along the trenches, Notre Dame's better. No, they're not.
Miami's the bigger team along the trenches.

Speaker 16 This is going to come down to Miami's reshaped defense, whether or not they can stop a really good running back and Jeremiah Love, and to see if they actually did indeed improve that secondary.

Speaker 9 It's going to be pretty wild because I think that, look, I remember that game in 2017. I wasn't there, but I was watching it.

Speaker 9 And just even the way it came across on television, it was the most obvious, oh, Notre Dame has no chance tonight. And then, of course, you know, it was 28-0 before you blinked, all right?

Speaker 9 And I think, I feel like going into the game this weekend, there is this,

Speaker 9 I feel like there is going to be this responsibility from the home crowd where they want to live up to what that was like in 2017. So it's going to be just as loud, if not louder.

Speaker 16 I agree with you. It is kind of strange.
And again, a self-owned that people are chasing the ghost of 2017. For that stadium, that's always been the barometer for a raucous environment.

Speaker 16 And I do think that there is kind of a responsibility to live up to that come Sunday night. Yeah.

Speaker 41 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 16 You're getting started on the breakfast flawn.

Speaker 15 Oh man, I've been singing a song to myself all morning long.

Speaker 26 Breakfast flante.

Speaker 41 Stugats. Have you never heard the breakfast flan song?

Speaker 5 I hit me by that.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 15 I wish I had some breakfast flant.

Speaker 15 Breakfast flant.

Speaker 15 Where can I find a breakfast like that?

Speaker 41 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 15 The entirety of it, though, when it comes to the Miami fan base being defensive because they have a persecution complex, and at least in part, because back when they were playing Miami and Notre Dame, it felt like they were persecuted.

Speaker 15 So, like, that's the history that's getting grandfathered in. I'm telling you, the portrayal of these teams back then was Miami are the gangsters, and Notre Dame, they're the holy ones.

Speaker 15 And that was a quainter time in a million different ways that built it into what it is today.

Speaker 15 But I'm wondering, Billy, when you hear Mike talk like this, because Mike is homerific, but he's also on the inside of the program here and inside of the business machine.

Speaker 15 When you hear him talk this way, it feels like Mike Ryan is going into the season feeling like Mario Cristobal and Miami has the better horses, the better physical, that Cristobal was hired so that by this year, he would have bigger, better players than everyone else like he did when he was the recruiter at Alabama.

Speaker 15 So it seems like Mike feels like he's seen something in these practices that has suggested to him, oh, no, Carson Beck is going to pick up where Cam Ward left off.

Speaker 15 And that feels optimistic in a way that would feel biased. Can it be both biased and informed?

Speaker 4 I mean, once the games are played, I guess we'll find out, right? Because they've just been playing against themselves. You don't really know where any team stands presently.

Speaker 15 But Mike feels like he knows.

Speaker 32 I feel like Mike.

Speaker 6 I know he said that they were going to win by three scores last week.

Speaker 4 That seems a bit optimistic.

Speaker 15 But Mike is carrying himself as if he feels like he knows something that's Mike the rest of us don't know yes that's mike that is mike just generally walking around but on this particular subject he's gonna do five hours later today because he can't talk about this enough like we have to go take the air out of the tire over there oh i'm gonna try to talk about it enough i might i think we have i i think i think you should tell people if they want five hours of mike will tell you all he knows about what he's seen i wouldn't pitch it like that

Speaker 4 i would change the pitch

Speaker 16 i would pitch it like that because kane's Kane's Insight is for Miami Hurricanes fans.

Speaker 16 And if you're just a casual observer, want to know about this big game, we are going to have Notre Dame representation. We are going to have national voices as well.

Speaker 16 And Bruce Feldman and Brett McMurray.

Speaker 15 It sounds like a big show that you're doing here with a lot of different people for a giant game.

Speaker 15 And this is the future on where it is you can mainline this stuff because people can talk about it for five hours because they want to with enthusiasm build up the tailgate to this thing.

Speaker 15 But it sounds like Mike Ryan is seeing something in the huddle.

Speaker 15 I I told you guys the story when I was on the campus at the University of Miami okay I'm I'm I'm I'm in school and during those four years I'm a high school kid I don't know what professional football is what college football is I don't know anything about anything my team in high school was terrible so I'm walking into the University of Miami locker room for the first time as a freshman at the University of Miami

Speaker 15 I've not been in many locker rooms. Standing in front of me is Jerome Brown,

Speaker 15 who would go on to just terrify the rest of the league. But at this point, I'm a freshman.
I'm like, this is a student who is my age at school here, Jerome Brown.

Speaker 15 And so I don't have any context for a home team that

Speaker 15 they didn't lose a game while I was in school because their guys were bigger than everyone else.

Speaker 15 And then when I went into the locker room when they were on probation, I walked into guys with pimples on their faces, young guys, clearly kids.

Speaker 15 And I'm like, oh, okay, now I have the context for this. It feels like Mike's in a locker room where he's saying, no, they've they've got the studs this year.

Speaker 16 It has to look a certain way. I remember being at practice during the Mani-Diaz years going, who the hell is that? And it being Lou Headley, the punter.

Speaker 16 And now, and there was one other guy, Chase Smith, who's actually a holdover still on this roster. Now you barely notice him.
I remember feeling good about Deer King coming back.

Speaker 40 All right, let's do this.

Speaker 16 Let's go. Measure ourselves up against Alabama and stepping on the field in Atlanta and knowing right away we had no shot in hell because they dwarfed our guys.

Speaker 9 Okay, what what were you saying this time last year?

Speaker 16 This time last year, the body types are there and that Cam Ward is going to be good. And by the way, I think Miami delivered on expectations.
They didn't surpass them.

Speaker 16 Would have loved to have gotten to get to Charlotte. They didn't have an opportunity to play the other teams in the mix for Charlotte.

Speaker 11 They failed.

Speaker 40 They blew a 21-point lead.

Speaker 16 That would have been a great end to their season. They would have had one loss headed into Charlotte.

Speaker 16 They were close to 10 wins last year.

Speaker 16 And that was pretty good for year three. Year four needs to end in Charlotte.
Year four needs to be a CFP appearance. They look really good along the lines.
One through 22, I like where they're at.

Speaker 16 Now, it's not exactly what Dan said. They're not going to have the talent advantage against the likes of Texas or Ohio State.
Miami is outgunned in that regard.

Speaker 16 But it's going to come down to, are our guys good enough on a given day along the trenches to be able to dominate individual assignments?

Speaker 16 And I think one through 22, this roster is as good as it's been in Miami in like 20 years.

Speaker 15 So Stugant

Speaker 15 is doing God bless football and you can catch God bless football every day. And I've been wanting to talk to him about the New York Jets practicing on Sunday by themselves.

Speaker 15 They had no coaches. Did you guys see that? They had a players-only, like not a lot of people have seen that, a players-only practice where they go out there on their off day to practice.

Speaker 15 This is after I have seen a hard knocks ripoff on Amazon that I had not seen before called the Home Team, where Amazon Prime is doing on six Jets players from last year.

Speaker 18 I don't know who they are.

Speaker 15 Can you look this up for me? They're going through the lives. What are you laughing about?

Speaker 16 Billy and I have a theory.

Speaker 16 I think that you said so Stugats is a crutch and just a normal transition, and then you covered it up pretty well and went into the New York Jets.

Speaker 11 That's what I thought, too.

Speaker 16 I thought that that was like just your normal muscle memory transition. I thought it too.

Speaker 16 You were so good at making it seem like we were going to talk about this Jets practice, and that's your natural transition, but I think you got caught up.

Speaker 9 True or false?

Speaker 16 Wait, Judge Zaz, you want to make a ruling?

Speaker 9 Well, I mean, I can't read his mind.

Speaker 9 That's not a case that would be hurting my mind.

Speaker 16 I just want to see the prop again.

Speaker 14 What?

Speaker 15 I

Speaker 15 will admit with great shame, I hate the way these people can see through me.

Speaker 15 All of that was, was not only that I had done it, I put my head down and started doing like a cat with kitty litter, just saying what's in the file on the jets that I got in my head.

Speaker 18 Good recovery. It was a great recovery.

Speaker 15 Thank you for noticing that, but I actually wanted to keep talking about UM Notre Dame, and I just lost my way with the crunch you just had as so sugats.

Speaker 9 You don't think that while people are hearing us talk about UM Notre Dame, they wanted to all of a sudden hear about the Jets practicing on their own?

Speaker 11 Some might.

Speaker 19 Technically a walkthrough. You're not allowed to have practices.

Speaker 14 You know that Chiefs also have their own hard knocks?

Speaker 32 Yeah. There's so many.

Speaker 40 The Chiefs Kingdom. The Kingdom.
Too much.

Speaker 11 The Cowboys have their own thing.

Speaker 26 Yeah, too much focus.

Speaker 5 It's a lot.

Speaker 11 Just kick the ball off.

Speaker 16 Actually, you know what? don't thank you for laying out and not having preseason football this week is college football see see what i'm saying zaz see

Speaker 29 no but he's not taking a week off

Speaker 5 see it's a week off no it's not a week off yes it is a week off see he likes

Speaker 37 a week off it's a ramp up um were they playing last week and the week before and the week before that it's are they playing like this are they playing next week now this is a fairly new thing where

Speaker 7 they take a week off before the regular season you're but we're not stopping this isn't a go and stop and go again.

Speaker 40 They started this and now they're stopping, and then next week they're going again.

Speaker 18 It's a ramp up.

Speaker 19 It's a ramp up. It's a little break.

Speaker 20 Just saying, keep your mind open.

Speaker 7 It hasn't.

Speaker 9 My mind's open.

Speaker 5 I don't know.

Speaker 7 It hasn't started yet. You want to start and then stop for no reason.

Speaker 29 I don't.

Speaker 16 Not for no reason. Can you stop interrupting? Danny wants to talk about the hurricanes and the jets.

Speaker 32 Jesus Louise.

Speaker 11 And the jets. Enough, Zaz.
God, Lord.

Speaker 16 Klubnik versus Nussmeyer and Clemson LSU. I mean, there's so many Heisman showcase games.

Speaker 17 This is wild.

Speaker 16 Hey, looking back on the film, Riley Leonard meant a lot to Notre Dame.

Speaker 26 When they needed to play, Riley Leonard was there.

Speaker 2 Can C.J. Carr do it?

Speaker 16 CJ Carr has less experience than Emery Williams.

Speaker 26 We're going to learn.

Speaker 15 You guys can sort of hear football in the air, right?

Speaker 15 Like, there's a bit of a scent around here that's slightly different here because you guys are saying play the games, but we've got two weeks here, and we're going to fill it with some Kelsey news and some pop culture and we're going to break the internet with that love being real, evidently, unless you're still going to question it.

Speaker 15 Two weeks, dude.

Speaker 32 Three weeks.

Speaker 16 Boys, it kicks off at USF

Speaker 4 Look at the calendar.

Speaker 17 It's out there.

Speaker 4 There was a press release that came out, and then it kind of went away from me.

Speaker 9 I want to see this calendar that says FIU Bethune and then has your name underneath it.

Speaker 4 You don't believe that I'm going to do it?

Speaker 7 No, I do, but you're telling people to look at the calendar.

Speaker 2 No, I'm just saying it's out there.

Speaker 4 I'm not one of self-promotion. I'm like you who walks around.
Oh, I'm on game night. I'm on this.
I'm on that. You know, it's not me.

Speaker 13 In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo.

Speaker 14 What are you doing here? Cuervo.

Speaker 15 Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

Speaker 16 Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

Speaker 15 Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Speaker 16 Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Speaker 13 Cuervo. Cuervo.

Speaker 2 The tequila that invented tequila.

Speaker 18 Proximo, Quervo.com, please drink responsibly. Cuervo.
