Hour 2: Happy Birthday To Me From Me (feat. Jessica Smetana)

Speaker 1 All right, Smirnoff.

Speaker 3 Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka.

Speaker 2 Here's the deal: game day is everything.

Speaker 3 The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

Speaker 3 Smirnoff 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 4 Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 3 They've been doing this since 1864, which is.

Speaker 3 I don't even want to do the math. A long time.
They're award-winning. They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.
So yeah, we do game days. That's their thing.

Speaker 3 And if you're over 21, you should too. Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to Smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day.
Please drink responsibly.

Speaker 3 Smirnoff, number 21 vodka. Distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume.
The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.

Speaker 8 Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

Speaker 9 It really does. I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.

Speaker 10 I've seen those waffle challenges.

Speaker 11 Those look delightful.

Speaker 8 You're stressing me out with that soundboard.

Speaker 11 Well, fantasy football is stressful.

Speaker 12 So stressful that it can lead to nighttime teeth grinding. Dentech's mouth guards help with nighttime teeth grinding.

Speaker 8 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 18 This is the Dan Labator Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 22 It was an incredible week one slate for the NFL.

Speaker 26 The NFL showed exactly why.

Speaker 28 In America, It is kingsport.

Speaker 19 It is top dog.

Speaker 28 It is the most in-demand ticket in sports.

Speaker 29 Some of those matchups, impossible to get into.

Speaker 30 You have a Super Bowl rematch this week. You have Eagles, Chiefs.

Speaker 37 We're going to have trouble with our voice the rest of the way. I have still the delight of spice in my mouth.
Billy, you had good critique during the break when I thought you spoke correct criticism.

Speaker 1 No, not criticism.

Speaker 6 I was praising both.

Speaker 2 I said, Greg's soup tastes like home. Mike's soup tastes like vacation.

Speaker 37 Greg was really mad during the break.

Speaker 9 Oh my god, he was so mad.

Speaker 37 Like, really mad. That's your computer, Greg.
You own $10 now over the course of the show. It's his computer.
He's really mad.

Speaker 37 And Jessica, I'm going to need a ruling from Jessica here on whether he's right to be mad or not because during the break, no one came in here. He didn't leave the room.

Speaker 37 And I went into the other room and I asked some people, Did you have both soups? Did you like the soups? And Mike's is gone and Greg's isn't gone.

Speaker 14 Well, Greg did better planning.

Speaker 2 Greg planned for the masses.

Speaker 14 Mike just planned for fewer people. I think could be what happened.

Speaker 26 No, Mike added water, he said.

Speaker 1 Mike also added a little lime zest to the soup, which really kind of

Speaker 24 you guys didn't even have the best on-air bite because I spent 40 minutes zesting limes like a madman this morning.

Speaker 40 But you know, it was like I was running in.

Speaker 30 I was like, Kevin, from the office.

Speaker 22 I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, who needs what?

Speaker 39 And then I forgot I had all this lime zest lying around. So I hope you liked it.

Speaker 37 Greg's mad.

Speaker 11 He's mad. Yep.

Speaker 41 Sure. Why wouldn't I be? I think it was an unjust award.

Speaker 42 It's a fair competition.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 14 Was it fair?

Speaker 44 I will say.

Speaker 45 Your food, Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 41 I will say, having eaten a lot of Thai chicken soup,

Speaker 41 that

Speaker 47 that failed to

Speaker 41 bring forward coconut, which is a major flavor, should be a major flavor in that soup. And Mike used a lot of coconut milk, and it did not have a coconut flavor that was discernible.

Speaker 35 It was classless.

Speaker 41 Which is a major negative for that soup.

Speaker 21 It was tasty. He a sportsman.
It was tasty.

Speaker 2 Lamar has two MVP awards, to be fair.

Speaker 11 This is really sad. Yeah,

Speaker 24 you're a great chef, Lamar Jackson, great quarterback, but you're having trouble winning the big one. Yeah.

Speaker 30 Could have been three.

Speaker 11 Okay. It's all right, Owen.

Speaker 11 Classless? No. Go ahead.

Speaker 22 Owen four.

Speaker 51 Okay.

Speaker 47 Owen four.

Speaker 41 One of those four, I lost fair and square.

Speaker 21 Okay, Roy's turkey beat mine.

Speaker 37 You lost to Jessica fair and square.

Speaker 11 No,

Speaker 41 Jessica,

Speaker 41 I don't feel like I did.

Speaker 30 She was using you were a lot classier to her in defeat.

Speaker 15 Okay.

Speaker 41 You know, that, because

Speaker 41 that wasn't a food cook-off. That was an ancillary

Speaker 11 kitchen.

Speaker 15 What?

Speaker 5 It had food in it. Well, Greg, I was going to come in here and defend you,

Speaker 5 and there's a reason for that, Mike. The reason is that the last time that we made the soup that you made today, Lehman...
had COVID and like threw it up everywhere.

Speaker 5 So I can never eat that soup again. Like it brings up really bad memories.
So I was going to give Greg my vote, but now Greg's kind of turning on me because of the carve-off. And I'm like,

Speaker 5 I don't know if he deserves that.

Speaker 46 Okay.

Speaker 41 All right. No, I mean, I don't consider that a cooking competition.
So I'm 0 for 3. It was 3.
You're right. I'm 0 for 3.
And popcorn really isn't.

Speaker 37 0 for 4 in food-related competitions.

Speaker 51 0 for 4.

Speaker 5 The popcorn, I agree, the popcorn was a little

Speaker 51 bit of

Speaker 11 a pop.

Speaker 5 Everyone was afraid of Dan.

Speaker 44 I lost fair and square.

Speaker 51 Now they're afraid of Mike.

Speaker 37 Yeah. That's true.

Speaker 37 That soup was exceptional. You would have liked it, Jessica.
You would have liked both soups, actually.

Speaker 37 But

Speaker 37 I haven't seen Greg that mad.

Speaker 37 I don't, Zazzle, you've been here only a short time.

Speaker 45 He didn't even look up from his computer afterward.

Speaker 50 We all get up to stretch, have a little bit more.

Speaker 37 He was seething.

Speaker 45 He wouldn't even get up or look up at anyone's.

Speaker 24 I think it was like a week and a half ago.

Speaker 11 He was more mad about the laptop.

Speaker 15 No, no.

Speaker 37 No, that was public. This was a private seething.
He was

Speaker 15 smoldering in here.

Speaker 37 No, Chris, you got that bad publicly. We left the room.
He sat in here steaming the entire time. Like, I'm not making that up.

Speaker 37 I was more scared of him this time. You guys don't understand this man that you work with.

Speaker 37 He's intensely prideful. He cooks really well.

Speaker 37 He's embarrassed that Mike beat him, and he's embarrassed that we let it happen. And you just don't know how prideful he is about this thing.
Are you embarrassed? He's really good at this.

Speaker 41 No, I'm not embarrassed, and I'm far more disappointed than I am angry. I thought it was an unjust decision.

Speaker 41 I don't think it should have been close. And I feel cheated.
And I think it was done just for the sake of comedy. I don't think it was a legitimate verdict.

Speaker 25 You can't fake what those pots look like.

Speaker 9 I made more soup than you.

Speaker 22 Yes, I made more soup.

Speaker 22 I made them more soup.

Speaker 15 All right.

Speaker 39 And more of the soup is gone.

Speaker 41 You made less soup.

Speaker 25 I'm going to go have some more soup because it's almost gone and I made them more soup.

Speaker 11 Please do.

Speaker 37 Greg, here you go. I know you don't like the beating you've taken here, but happy birthday, buddy.
We are thrilled that we get to work with you.

Speaker 37 All rise for Greg Couty.

Speaker 37 A birthday for me is a birthday for you.

Speaker 52 The sound of my voice is a dream come true.

Speaker 15 The greatest of gifts that could be.

Speaker 15 Happy birthday from me to me.

Speaker 49 A birthday for me is a time full of love

Speaker 52 A present bestowed as I fell from above To make all the world full of glee

Speaker 52 Happy birthday from me to me

Speaker 52 Happy birthday

Speaker 52 from me

Speaker 52 to

Speaker 52 me

Speaker 37 He's not happy. Not even a song about himself on his birthday.

Speaker 11 Sung by himself.

Speaker 15 Sung by himself.

Speaker 15 He's steamed throughout it.

Speaker 37 You guys think I'm fooling around. He's really mad.

Speaker 1 Can we revote, maybe? I'd like to revote. And like, let's not count it 0-4.
Let's revote it.

Speaker 37 He doesn't want a pity vote.

Speaker 41 I know everybody who voted against me.

Speaker 11 That will never be forgotten. There's only two of them.

Speaker 11 That will never be forgotten.

Speaker 37 Saslo, you trampled him threatening me. Like, you just trampled him saying it'll never be forgotten that I voted against him.
And you, threatening you, too, by the way.

Speaker 11 We can revote.

Speaker 24 There's plenty of Greg's soup left if you guys want to try it.

Speaker 22 I really like Greg.

Speaker 12 I'm really sad that I made him sad.

Speaker 54 I didn't mean his soup is really good, too.

Speaker 37 That's the thing. Okay.

Speaker 15 It's delicious.

Speaker 38 Greg, is this a worse betrayal than Christopher taking your laptop a couple weeks back?

Speaker 47 Um, remember, I voted for you.

Speaker 41 Different category.

Speaker 2 Also, in retrospect, where the dolphins kind of laid an egg, it seemed as though it wasn't as big, you know.

Speaker 22 It wasn't as big.

Speaker 41 So, me losing that vote wasn't wasn't as big as the Dolphins losing that vote.

Speaker 15 That's still your phone.

Speaker 37 Another $5, please. You owe $15 on your birthday.

Speaker 11 It's people wishing me happy birthday.

Speaker 37 Jessica is hosting a live show on Saturday for the Notre Dame, Texas A ⁇ M game at 3.30 with Kyle Rudolph and Aaron Banks. We will tell you more about where you can get that in a moment.

Speaker 37 But Jessica is saying something that I have not heard anyone else in the sports media saying anywhere in the interwebs.

Speaker 37 You liked week two better than week one.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, real ball knowers know Dan. Week one, there were a lot of flashy matchups, but then not a lot of meat underneath them.
Week two, a lot of meat on those bones. We had some,

Speaker 5 I mean, I heard Zaz talking about the border war yesterday.

Speaker 5 SMU Baylor, Clemson struggling with Troy, Kansas State losing to Army, USF and Florida, of course. There was a...

Speaker 5 number of overtime games, Michigan State and Boston College. There were more even matchups in week two than week one.

Speaker 5 So like, well, I think the, the you know your typical fans like yeah i want to watch florida state and alabama those are some big sexy names i want to see the less sexy games i want to see

Speaker 37 and ukon and overtime uh can you guys tell me where it is that you are on arch manning because we went from week one to week two with turbulence and texas what are you shaking your head about zazzlo you're just i i i i i don't i'm not anywhere with arch manning like there's nothing to take away from what we saw in week two And week one was what it was, although he was good in the fourth quarter, but whatever.

Speaker 13 Like, it's a 60-minute game.

Speaker 22 I'm not anywhere with Arch Manning.

Speaker 50 Got to see it.

Speaker 37 Jessica?

Speaker 5 I agree. I mean, he was largely inefficient last week, but it was not.
It was against San Jose State. And like, they ended up winning by several touchdowns.
It didn't really matter.

Speaker 5 They're not going to play another good defense for a few weeks. I did think it was weird that Sark tried to defend him by saying that he pooped his pants.

Speaker 5 I don't know if you guys heard that press conference sound.

Speaker 37 Pooped his pants? That's good description. Anytime you say that there's a pooped your pants, that's a good description, but it's usually not an ally of a description.
Let's hear it.

Speaker 37 Arch Manning seemed to be having some throwing pains by the face of the

Speaker 37 Arch?

Speaker 28 Arch said that to you? No.

Speaker 37 Oh, according to who? It just looked like he was...

Speaker 57 He doesn't have any.

Speaker 37 Is there an explanation to why he was...

Speaker 52 It looked like that? I don't know.

Speaker 57 I've never filmed any of you guys when you're using the bathroom, so I don't know what faces you make when you're doing that.

Speaker 54 Hey, listeners, it's Mike.

Speaker 23 Hey, Billy Gill.

Speaker 11 Hey.

Speaker 59 Hey, Billy, as a proud member of your inner circle, remember when we were hanging out last weekend?

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, the fishtail palms.

Speaker 60 The fishtail palms, the great memories we made, kids playing in the pool, and in our hands, a nice ice-cold can of Miller Light.

Speaker 31 It was so hot out.

Speaker 6 I know, but it was so cold in my hand.

Speaker 48 We took that for a sip. It was crisp.
It was refreshing.

Speaker 23 Oh, man, there is nothing like cracking open a Miller Light with your crew and your inner circle bones.

Speaker 6 Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 We fist-bumped.

Speaker 22 Whether it's, we actually really did. Whether it's that touchdown.

Speaker 6 It didn't make a sound, but it just thought.

Speaker 11 Bam!

Speaker 15 Boom.

Speaker 59 Whether it's that touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups, you and I did plenty of that.

Speaker 9 Miller Light has been the taste that you can depend on for 50 years.

Speaker 54 Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes, and that iconic golden color.

Speaker 10 And here's a kicker, Billy.

Speaker 9 What?

Speaker 22 It's just 96 calories. What? 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 61 The original light beer since 1975 and still hitting different five decades later.

Speaker 9 Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 59 Go to millerlight.com/slash dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

Speaker 61 It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly.

Speaker 54 Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 22 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 41 I heard that as a woman faking

Speaker 41 pain. I didn't think that sounded real.

Speaker 11 I really didn't.

Speaker 41 You know?

Speaker 37 It was not fake. It was in no way fake.

Speaker 61 If you can spot a woman faking it, Stugats.

Speaker 15 Yes, I can, Jess.

Speaker 41 Expert.

Speaker 35 I've been married 40 years.

Speaker 18 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 40 Big game that you're going to be across, Jess. We'll talk to you about Texas AM and Notre Dame and what you're doing, the live show with the Echoes in a moment.

Speaker 28 But I want to talk to you about Big Ten football too, because we all know about conference expansion and it means some interesting time zones and kickoff times. We got USC and Michigan State.

Speaker 39 Now, I think this is one of the cooler, more refreshing matchups when it comes to conference realignment, but it's kicking off at 11 p.m.

Speaker 35 Saturday night.

Speaker 28 You never see an 11 p.m.

Speaker 39 start time.

Speaker 28 You only see that stuff like in Hawaii.

Speaker 51 Are college football fans going to be overwhelmed?

Speaker 30 How is this going to rate?

Speaker 5 Mike, I have so many thoughts. Why is this a refreshing matchup? Who's asking, who's clamoring for Michigan State and USC playing a conference game?

Speaker 5 Let's just start there. Who was like, we need conference realignment so we could say Michigan State and USC in conference games?

Speaker 25 I'm in on this because I saw Michigan State play a later night game against Boston College, and I was surprised at how crisp their offense looks like.

Speaker 24 If they can limit the mistakes, they look like they can bounce back a little bit.

Speaker 36 And USC has spent a lot of money in this offseason.

Speaker 32 So I get what you're saying, like historically, where's the appetite here?

Speaker 33 But from what we've seen so far in this very small sample, this seems like an interesting matchup.

Speaker 5 It's an interesting matchup.

Speaker 5 My point is that, like, why does this have to be a conference game? I'm still salty about all of this Big Ten realignment because this is so stupid that

Speaker 5 this whole sport exists for fans, correct? Like we do this to entertain fans. And now if you're a Michigan State fan living in the Eastern time zone, your game's going to end at like 2 a.m.

Speaker 5 Like, how is this good for anyone? This is ridiculous. It's an 8 o'clock local kickoff in LA and it's 11 p.m.
on the East Coast. And I'm just mad because I like to fall asleep watching Hawaii.

Speaker 5 They kick off at like 11:59, which is great. But I don't want to fall asleep watching a Big Ten conference game.
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 37 All of this stuff is going to start happening, though, right? NBA games are going to be at 11 p.m.

Speaker 33 This is all going to be the world's games, right?

Speaker 22 I don't think I must.

Speaker 5 I have nothing wrong with West Coast games being late. This is, it's Michigan State and USC in a conference Big Ten game that I object to.
Just on principle, Dan. Just on principle.
I object to this.

Speaker 5 I defy it. I rebuke it.

Speaker 34 Well, Jess,

Speaker 28 did you rise up against Fran Brown?

Speaker 60 Because

Speaker 28 Fran Brown has a lot of opinions.

Speaker 23 I kind of like him.

Speaker 56 He gets his teams juiced up, but sometimes he says too much and he tries too hard.

Speaker 25 And this, I haven't seen this type of look-at-me-Louis display from a head coach since Sark tried to ice his own kicker. He makes his own team run sprints after a lackluster performance.

Speaker 60 Jess, we know that Fran Brown's got that arrow pointing up, but I'm cooling off on Fran Brown, the person.

Speaker 5 Yeah, the bright side, and I know everyone's already made this joke, but at least I got to shower after this because they won, because winners get washed. But yeah, this made me a little sad.

Speaker 5 It is, first of all, the slowest set of sprints of all time. And I mean that in the politest way possible because these guys just played like a five-quarter game.

Speaker 5 This game went to overtime and they had to really dig deep to pull out this upset win after they were trailing to UConn. I mean it was a bad game by Syracuse until the very end there.

Speaker 5 And if anything, they should be like, wow, like this, we proved something about ourselves here. We're resilient.
We're going to fight for our coach. We're going to fight to get this win.

Speaker 5 And instead, they're getting punished by running sprints in front of all these Syracuse J school students who are all filming and posting it on Twitter. It made me feel a little sad for them.

Speaker 14 What did you make of Caleb Williams' undershirt? Because it's not exactly what what you see normally out of like a starting quarterback who's the face of your franchise.

Speaker 14 That's like what Billy Gill wore when he played football.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 5 I hated it, Billy. I hated everything about it.
It was a terrible look. It's too loose.
It's too gray. Is he? Why? What's the point of that?

Speaker 46 Is he going for a branding thing?

Speaker 35 This wasn't his look last year. I will say he looked more athletic, which the undershirt wouldn't necessarily say that.

Speaker 45 I think he forgot he was wearing it.

Speaker 31 Why would he do that on purpose?

Speaker 36 I don't understand what he's going for there.

Speaker 25 That being said, I wonder if you were impressed with his play because it was like a mixed bag.

Speaker 5 Is it a mixed bag? It was kind of

Speaker 5 the same bag as last year, which is a problem. But it is only week one.
I think, you know, it's too early to decide if Ben Johnson's fixed the Bears or not.

Speaker 5 But it just, it wasn't something that I think would give you hope as a Bears fan. You're probably just saying same old Bears, which is what I've been saying my whole life.

Speaker 5 Every time everyone in the mainstream media tries to hype up the Bears. Oh, they got a quarterback.
Oh, they got a head coach. Oh, they got a wide receiver.
Oh, they have an offensive line this year.

Speaker 5 I'll believe it when I see it, okay? And I haven't seen it yet.

Speaker 45 Jess, I was at Baylor SMU last week, and that game was on the CW. This weekend, South Florida and Miami.

Speaker 37 That's a good game.

Speaker 45 Two top 20 teams are on the CW.

Speaker 9 Jess, how are we feeling about football on the CW?

Speaker 30 Big game. Big game.

Speaker 5 I mean, there's some insane advertisements that'll happen during those games. There's a lot of times like the lead-in programming is like supernatural reruns.
But otherwise, it's been fantastic.

Speaker 5 I don't know if you're aware of who is calling games on the CW.

Speaker 5 Our buddy Tom Brennaman has been doing that for the last couple of years. So that's interesting, too.

Speaker 5 Yeah, there's been, Zaz, this is like the, I guess, the second year in a row. There's been some big games on the CW.
And yeah, we just have to get used to that now.

Speaker 5 This is just going to keep happening.

Speaker 37 For those of you who do not remember Tom Brennaman, this is him making his return.

Speaker 37 I didn't think there would be a return from this, the single funniest thing to happen at any point during the pandemic.

Speaker 62 Castellano's to lead things off. Jim Day is going to be taking us the rest of the way through this game as Holland takes over on the mound.

Speaker 62 I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess

Speaker 62 went out over the air that I am deeply

Speaker 62 ashamed of.

Speaker 62 If I have hurt anyone out there,

Speaker 62 I can't can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very, very sorry.

Speaker 62 I pride myself and think of myself as

Speaker 62 a man of faith.

Speaker 62 As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run.

Speaker 62 And so that'll make it a 4-0 ball game.

Speaker 62 I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds.
I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at Fox.

Speaker 62 I'm going to apologize for the people who signed my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with,

Speaker 62 for anybody that I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am.
That is not who I am

Speaker 62 and never has been. And I'd like to think maybe I could have some people that

Speaker 62 could back that up.

Speaker 62 I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness.

Speaker 17 So we heard.

Speaker 62 Jim Dale take you the rest of the way home.

Speaker 45 How bad does he not want to have FSU on this game?

Speaker 31 So last year, Thomas Caselanos was at BC, and I remember I was tuning in specifically to see how Brennaman would handle Thomas Casilanos.

Speaker 40 And when he was doing his opening monologue, bringing in the color analyst, he was like, and Boston College is quarterback by Thomas.

Speaker 28 Casilanos.

Speaker 60 And he kind of gave like a side smile and laid out a little bit, acknowledging what the audience was anticipating.

Speaker 37 He made it all the way back. He's doing a top 20 game.
What do you mean?

Speaker 22 CW.

Speaker 29 And all the way back is you not playing that clip every time we say Tom Brennan.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 5 He'll live with that following him forever, which is probably like, you know, not, probably not the worst thing, right? Like he's got it. He's gotten a second chance.

Speaker 5 USF's not going to beat Miami this weekend. I'm just going to say that.

Speaker 5 Like this, maybe it could have been like a sneaky, like, oh, wow, like, you know, their passing attack is going to really put some pressure on Miami's defense.

Speaker 5 But no, after they upset Florida, Miami is not going to be sleepwalking through that. It's not going to happen.
Miami. So I'm just going to camp that down right now.

Speaker 37 Miami is big and strong, and that's where they have their advantages. But I do like USF's defense.
Like, I like how athletic they are on defense. So, like,

Speaker 37 look, I'm not at the point yet where I'm going to say, yeah, Mario Christopher's got this one.

Speaker 15 I'm not going to, I'm not going to.

Speaker 5 No, he does. Dan, he has this one.
I'm not saying they're going to go undefeated the whole season, but I think he has this one. Oh, I think get you there.

Speaker 37 I mean, it's not that long ago that they lost to Middle Tennessee State.

Speaker 20 No, I'm with you, but what would get you there?

Speaker 37 And I mean, this is no offense to Jess or Notre Dame.

Speaker 37 It's really more ignorance on my end of when it comes to Notre Dame, what I saw them do within the limits of their offense and the limits of a first-time quarterback in an impossible spot.

Speaker 37 I don't know how good CJ Carr is. So

Speaker 37 Miami looks good to me. They look big.
They look strong and fast. And I expect that Notre Dame is good and that Miami beat a good team.

Speaker 37 But I just saw what USF did to Florida, and I don't think that it's impossible for them to stay close in a game against Miami and then make it difficult at the end of the year.

Speaker 33 I didn't bring in Jess.

Speaker 25 I'm not exactly sure what USF did to Florida.

Speaker 40 I think that USF has played two-ranked teams that probably came in.

Speaker 30 Look, I mean, Florida was a media fabrication.

Speaker 35 They finished the year strong last year.

Speaker 36 They lost a bunch of guys.

Speaker 28 They didn't really add to the team. They added to receivers.

Speaker 25 But the problem with them is Lagway isn't super effective when he's out there, and it's because he's perpetually hurt.

Speaker 61 So I'm with Jess here.

Speaker 60 I think Miami handles this business.

Speaker 28 These two teams did match up, and while the first half was tight, Miami showed that with depth and size, they can wear this team down.

Speaker 39 And I think it's going to happen again.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I like USF's quarterback a lot, Byron Brown. He's been super impressive.

Speaker 5 And I do think, like, I think there is a chance that USF really does test Miami and just, you know, vertical passing game just stretches them out really far.

Speaker 5 And, you know, we already talked about Miami's defense having a lot of transfers and all of that. So, like, it's a good test for them in that way.

Speaker 5 But, like, Miami, it should be a weight class above USF and should just be able to like, you know out physical them now that they're on alert that this team is good.

Speaker 5 I think that's the threat is that you get stuck in a trap game against like a good G5 team. I don't think that's going to happen now that they just upset Florida.
That's my only point there.

Speaker 5 I think Florida also beat themselves several times over and over and over again in this game. I mean penalties, clock management, all of it.

Speaker 5 And I think that that contributed to them losing what was a really tight game.

Speaker 5 So yeah, if you're aware of the fact that like this team is talented and they can try to keep it close and and do something fun at the end, Dan, like you're afraid of, I think that you make sure that that doesn't happen.

Speaker 5 Like that's how Notre Dame got trapped against Northern Illinois last year. It's the same thing.

Speaker 5 It's like they, Northern Illinois plays that style of football where they're like, we're going to, you know, try to keep this game.

Speaker 5 really low scoring and then maybe we'll have one play where we can beat you. And they tried to do that to Maryland last week too.
It's just I don't know why anyone schedules Northern Illinois.

Speaker 5 Anyways, that's that's my my thoughts on USF and Miami. But I also think like, aside from USF, I know everyone's talking about how great the resume is, and it is.

Speaker 5 There's still a number of interesting G, group of six, I think we're calling it now, teams that are undefeated coming into this season, like Memphis and Tulane, who's got a big game against Ulmas.

Speaker 5 So I am curious to see how those other teams do. also who are not getting as much hype because they haven't had those big matchups yet.

Speaker 37 She's hosting a live show Saturday for the Notre Dame, Texas A ⁇ M game at 3.30 with Kyle Rudolph and Aaron Banks. Greg Cody has completely checked out here.

Speaker 37 Wasn't listening to much of anything anyone has said over the last five minutes. He's seething over here.
Perhaps we can cheer him up with a song that Jeremy has just made very quickly about soup.

Speaker 37 Let's see if we can get Greg Cody back in the show because he's still pissed and he's seething and he doesn't, he's not listening to anything we're doing.

Speaker 41 I am listening.

Speaker 11 Yeah, that soup's delicious.

Speaker 52 Top rude or lent all.

Speaker 52 Yeah, that soup's delicious.

Speaker 13 I really like soup.

Speaker 29 Good song.

Speaker 63 And now I get to eat soup.

Speaker 7 Thanks to Greg Cody.

Speaker 52 He thinks he can cook soup.

Speaker 7 You better have my soup

Speaker 7 Does he have my soup?

Speaker 52 Does she have my soup? Where is my soup?

Speaker 15 Give me soup or give me death

Speaker 15 Wow

Speaker 15 It's poorly written

Speaker 38 That might be your worst song ever.

Speaker 11 I loved it.

Speaker 37 That was unspeakably terrible.

Speaker 15 Inspired lyrics.

Speaker 11 Worse anti-comedy.

Speaker 37 Worse lyrics than Kiss.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 37 they're the worst lyrical writers there have ever been. Jessica, your thoughts on Jessica rushing, on Jeremy rushing in with that song and ruining everything we're doing with it.

Speaker 13 I really like Sue.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Oh, wow. Yeah, Jessica.

Speaker 22 Yeah, she's just speechless.

Speaker 37 Greg Cody, it doesn't seem to have cheered you up.

Speaker 37 Jessica, tell the people what you are doing specifically with what you're trying to do with Kyle Rudolph and Aaron Banks as part of a tailgate experience.

Speaker 5 Yeah, we're doing a live show right off of Angela Boulevard in Notre Dame, like right behind Murphy's Ice Cream and O'Rourke's on Saturday at 3.30. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 And I don't know why my video cut out, but back and I'm really excited for it.

Speaker 46 Thank you.

Speaker 22 None of that will air.

Speaker 37 We will just say goodbye to you and we will talk to you next week.

Speaker 29 Howdy folks, It's Mike Ryan.

Speaker 56 It's also NFL season.

Speaker 29 Lots of big-time matchups.

Speaker 48 You know, your boy is an NFL free agent, so he's looking all across that NFL schedule for the very best games.

Speaker 56 And when I do, my very first and only stop is the Game Time app because the Game Time app gives the advantage back to the fans.

Speaker 64 I want to talk about home security for a minute. For the longest time, I thought it was just alarms and sirens that once somebody breaks in, you deal with it.

Speaker 22 But when you think about it, that's already too late.

Speaker 64 That's reactive. I had my car broken into on my property a while back.
The only thing I could do was call 911. That's reactive.
I don't like leaving things up to chance.

Speaker 11 That's why I decided to install SimplySafe. Why?

Speaker 64 Because they flipped the idea of home security by making it proactive. Their Active Guard Outdoor Protection uses AI-powered cameras to actually identify people lurking around your property.

Speaker 64 And here's the key. Simply Safe's monitoring agents step in before anything goes down.

Speaker 64 They'll talk directly to intruders through the camera, light them up with spotlights, and even call the cops if they need to. That's not reacting.
That's stopping crime before it starts.

Speaker 64 No contracts, no hidden fees. That's why they've been named best home security system by U.S.

Speaker 22 News and World Report five years in a row.

Speaker 64 And they back it up with a 60-day money-back guarantee. SimplySafe is offering Lebatard show listeners 50% off a new system with professional monitoring.

Speaker 65 You know what nobody tells you about being a new dad? It's not just the diapers and the wipes, that's obvious.

Speaker 65 It's the hidden stuff, the baby swing after we already purchased the other baby swing, the bouncer, the pack and play, the 20 different bottles, because apparently my kid hates every single one except the most expensive one, which is the glass, by the way.

Speaker 65 Don't get me started on late food delivery orders with my wife and me too tired to even look or cook or think about food. I'm staring at my bank account like, where did it all go?

Speaker 65 That's where Monarch money comes in. It's like a financial tool belt for everyone, not just dads.

Speaker 22 Don Lebatard. Is there back in my day?

Speaker 35 There is actually.

Speaker 52 Are you not going to tell anyone what?

Speaker 15 Wait a minute. You guys,

Speaker 11 guys,

Speaker 22 it's a Tuesday.

Speaker 30 Stugats.

Speaker 18 Here's your guy, Greg Cody.

Speaker 24 With back in my day.

Speaker 53 Okay, here it is.

Speaker 46 Sorry.

Speaker 46 Adultery.

Speaker 11 We are back.

Speaker 52 I waited for this one.

Speaker 18 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 37 That's $20, Greg. You now own $20 because of the amount of birthday texts coming in here.

Speaker 37 You continue to derail everything we're doing. Can I have the money, please?

Speaker 41 I don't have my wallet on me.

Speaker 14 What's a man to do?

Speaker 1 He's receiving birthday texts.

Speaker 14 He can't control when other people reach out to him.

Speaker 2 Seriously.

Speaker 37 Greg, you don't pay the fines.

Speaker 37 You don't pay the fines around here. You don't respect the fines.
No,

Speaker 41 I literally don't have my wallet on.

Speaker 37 I know, but you owe $20 and you not being able to figure out how Venmo works.

Speaker 23 You got that Venmo?

Speaker 15 Like, you have.

Speaker 11 Hello.

Speaker 1 It's his birthday.

Speaker 25 He shouldn't be paying for anything.

Speaker 30 Thank you, Billy.

Speaker 19 Zaz, you should treat.

Speaker 38 You should cover his finesse.

Speaker 11 I'll cover his fines.

Speaker 33 I'll cover his fines. It's all right.

Speaker 11 Greg, I got you.

Speaker 37 We are running the risk of infuriating Greg Cody even more than he's infuriated because he sat out most of the hour. You've seen this, right, Zaszlo? It's just, it's unprofessional.

Speaker 45 Why can't it just be why can't it just be enough that

Speaker 45 your patrons enjoyed the meal that you provided?

Speaker 45 Why does it have to all be about the competition? I loved your soup.

Speaker 37 It was great soup. He didn't vote.

Speaker 14 Neither of them voted for it.

Speaker 2 It was great, just as a reminder, Greg. Neither one of them voted for it.

Speaker 51 Yeah, but it wasn't as good. I don't need reminding that.

Speaker 15 It wasn't as good as Mike's soup.

Speaker 37 Like, I am not to.

Speaker 41 Wow.

Speaker 1 I loved your soup. This seems like a setup from the start, if I'm going to be honest with you, Greg.

Speaker 14 Drag the old man in on his birthday, make him cook for us.

Speaker 11 This is what had occurred in his face.

Speaker 41 The thought had occurred.

Speaker 37 It's all a scam. I want to get to Jeremy.

Speaker 2 He hasn't promoted your podcast once yet.

Speaker 37 He did it himself.

Speaker 29 Craig, he turned to me and he said, wow, that Lime Zest really changed it.

Speaker 41 What about the coconut that was missing?

Speaker 41 The key ingredients.

Speaker 15 It'd be like me leaving a lot of people.

Speaker 37 Can I just understand?

Speaker 37 Can I understand something?

Speaker 37 Are you also of the belief, because you haven't said this part, as someone who knows how to cook, as someone who I would say is a sophisticated cook, is very careful with gourmet flavors and where it is he puts things and how much of something he puts in it.

Speaker 9 Did you think his soup was poorly made?

Speaker 37 Like, did you think that

Speaker 37 that doesn't respect the artistry of cooking the way that you wish it to be respected? Because

Speaker 37 he just slapped so many flavors on it. Well,

Speaker 41 before I ever knew, I asked Mike,

Speaker 41 you have coconut in there, right? And he said yes. And once he said that, coconut in a Thai chicken soup is a major ingredient.
You have to taste the coconut.

Speaker 46 Maybe I'm alone.

Speaker 41 Maybe others of you.

Speaker 37 No, it didn't taste that much like coconut. It just tasted delicious.
It didn't taste that much like coconut.

Speaker 36 This isn't your standard Tom Kai.

Speaker 25 Like, this is a different thing that I was going for. I didn't want to overpower people with coconut.
Why am I defending the merits of my soup?

Speaker 11 You nailed it, dog.

Speaker 31 You actually came underprepared.

Speaker 25 You overlooked your opponent.

Speaker 31 No.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 25 You borrowed my salt. You borrowed my pepper.

Speaker 60 Let me ask you.

Speaker 46 You borrowed my knife.

Speaker 25 I was being a sportsman.

Speaker 41 So putting all the coconut in there, you didn't intend it to have a coconut flavor?

Speaker 30 It had a hint of coconut. Did it?

Speaker 44 Yeah. It had a hint.
It had a subtle hint.

Speaker 30 Yes, I don't want to overpower people.

Speaker 19 Why do I have to defend the merits of my championship winning soup?

Speaker 11 Greg, this is stupid.

Speaker 6 You know what I would liken this to?

Speaker 14 The Leaning Tower of Pisa. You know? They built that tower.
That tower wasn't supposed to lean. That was supposed to be a straight building.
Right.

Speaker 14 And then all of a sudden, it slightly leans because of failures on their part in terms of planning.

Speaker 2 Because they couldn't have planned for that thing to be leaning sideways like that.

Speaker 1 And now people look at it and say, that's an architectural marvel.

Speaker 38 When really, it was a failure of design.

Speaker 6 Somewhat like the soup.

Speaker 38 The soup wasn't bad, but it wasn't as it was intended to be designed. Great energy.
Which is all that Greg is saying.

Speaker 2 Yeah, great.

Speaker 9 It's exactly how it was intended, and it won.

Speaker 30 What are we doing here? Happy birthday, Greg. I'll pull back.

Speaker 32 All right, I'm starting to get a little worked up because you're not exactly being classy and defeat here.

Speaker 25 I thought we were having fun. We were in this together.

Speaker 30 People on the same rope.

Speaker 36 Over there, Chuck Todd's freaking us the hell out.

Speaker 27 We're having a good old time. I mean, this is a bonding moment for us.
It's all in the name of sport.

Speaker 30 You didn't shake my hand after.

Speaker 24 You didn't compliment the soup.

Speaker 36 You told me what I was missing.

Speaker 31 In fact, I think you're being pretty rotten right now, Greg Cody.

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 47 You can believe that.

Speaker 41 I know what I know.

Speaker 41 I've had that soup tasting like it should taste.

Speaker 30 You've never had that soup before in your life.

Speaker 25 That's the first time anybody's had that soup.

Speaker 47 No one puts faro in a Thai soup.

Speaker 19 Have you ever had a Thai soup with Faro?

Speaker 30 No.

Speaker 42 You are over there telling me how I should cut the red bell peppers? I didn't hear a single complaint about the red bell peppers.

Speaker 9 In fact, some people said, love the bell peppers the way they were.

Speaker 46 Thank you so much, Mike.

Speaker 41 The bell peppers should have been cut in long strips, and you know it. Faro does not go in that soup.

Speaker 22 Does not go in a trip.

Speaker 51 You don't know what soup this is.

Speaker 19 I just blew your mind with a brand new soup.

Speaker 41 I saw a lot of coconut milk being put in

Speaker 41 apparently and I tasted no coconut.

Speaker 52 That is a wonder of my chef's skills.

Speaker 26 Major short.

Speaker 42 You saw an entire can of coconut milk in there and yet it didn't overpower your palate because it had so much goddamn stuff going on.

Speaker 41 It didn't power my palate at all.

Speaker 44 I didn't taste it.

Speaker 30 Well, there's plenty of your soup left, pal.

Speaker 60 There's none of mine.

Speaker 21 The gloves are off now.

Speaker 6 I feel like you guys shouldn't even be bothering to try to pretend to compliment each other's soup.

Speaker 14 What did you really think of Greg's soup and Greg's soup?

Speaker 22 I thought it was a bit gamey.

Speaker 19 It tasted like a soup made in a forest.

Speaker 30 I didn't think it was a very good soup at all.

Speaker 34 If you told me you were squirrel, I'd believe that more than it was sausage.

Speaker 45 You make that squirrel soup?

Speaker 37 I'm actually with him on that one.

Speaker 15 Oh,

Speaker 60 it was gamey.

Speaker 37 Not the gaming part. Not the gaming part.

Speaker 65 You thought you were eating squirrel things?

Speaker 24 It feels like it was made in a forest.

Speaker 37 That the sausage, you could have tricked me if you had a sound.

Speaker 22 Could have been venison.

Speaker 37 It's not sausage, that it's something else.

Speaker 1 In Chuck Todd's world, it'd be great for survival.

Speaker 30 Brewed in a witch's cauldron,

Speaker 42 put together on a hot plate.

Speaker 25 That's what it tasted like.

Speaker 30 Did you make me squirrel?

Speaker 37 I did. It did.
I tasted a hint of eye of newt as well. It was a bit of a witch's cauldron.

Speaker 6 Greg, did you like any of Mike's soup?

Speaker 41 I thought it was very good, except for the absence of any coconut flavor.

Speaker 35 Tell you what, if I want to make a second-plate soup, I'll take your advice.

Speaker 41 That would have authenticated the kind of soup you were making.

Speaker 37 I need to move the show along because we've probably spent too much time on Mike Ryan's delicious.

Speaker 15 He's doing it.

Speaker 46 I'm trying to be classy.

Speaker 37 Greg Cody's less delicious soup. He's mad, and he says he will never forgive me and Zaz for making the result go that way.

Speaker 37 Jeremy. I'll remember.

Speaker 41 I didn't say I'd never forgive. What I said was I'll never forget.
Don't mistake those two things.

Speaker 37 What does that mean?

Speaker 37 It means what it means. No, I don't.
So what does it mean, though? I'll never forgive it, but I'll never forget it.

Speaker 22 Fate will tell.

Speaker 22 What? Fate will tell. He told you he'll forgive.

Speaker 2 He just won't forget.

Speaker 37 So wait, but if you don't forget.

Speaker 30 Fate will tell.

Speaker 46 Okay.

Speaker 37 Sounds like a bit of a threat. Jeremy, I'm sorry.
We're not going to pull him out of this. He's seething and he might storm out of here on his birthday.
Where are we on your top fives?

Speaker 37 You have multiple top fives? You couldn't possibly have just one top five.

Speaker 1 No, we have three top fives.

Speaker 12 So it's based off of you yesterday saying that Debo Samuel doesn't look like he belongs on the Commanders.

Speaker 55 Just doesn't look right.

Speaker 12 We've got a top five players who look like they belong on the team they're on. We've got a top five players who look like they belong on another team.

Speaker 12 And we've got a top five players who look like they should be New England Patriots. Oh, I love this.

Speaker 8 These top fives presented by Smirnoff, the official vodka sponsor of the National Football League. Smirnoff, please drink responsibly.

Speaker 8 The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York, Vodka, 40% alcohol, by volume.

Speaker 12 So we start here. Top five players who look like they belong on the team they're on.
Number five, Justin Herbert looks like he belongs on the Chargers.

Speaker 46 Number four,

Speaker 12 Max Crosby belongs on the Raiders.

Speaker 37 You're gonna get Duke three better than that one.

Speaker 12 Number three, Dan Quinn looks like a commander.

Speaker 52 I love this.

Speaker 12 Number two, Andrew Van Genkel belongs on the Vikings.

Speaker 37 Dan Quinn also has the name of a commander as well.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he does.

Speaker 12 And number one, no one looks more like they belong on a team than Tyler Warren looks like an Indianapolis.

Speaker 12 Guys are going to be good. Now let's talk about guys who look like they belong on a different team.
So number five, Fred Warner looks like a Baltimore Raven.

Speaker 53 I don't know.

Speaker 52 Oh, what do you think?

Speaker 12 A bad AI. Baker Mayfield looks like a Dallas Cowboy.

Speaker 12 Hollywood Brown looks like a Miami Dolphins receiver.

Speaker 4 Deuce is like one, too.

Speaker 12 Amon Ross St. Brown, sort of a lion, looks more like a Carolina Panther.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 12 That's, I don't know what you're doing there. Debo Samuel looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 9 That's the same color.

Speaker 12 And for the Patriots, OLI, Alec Pierce.

Speaker 48 Oh, because he's white.

Speaker 12 OLI, Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 53 Nice.

Speaker 12 Number five, Cooper Cup. Okay.
Number four, Adam Thielen. All right.
Number three, Cam Scataboo. All right.
Number two, Lad McConkey.

Speaker 40 Quite, guys.

Speaker 12 Number one, Hunter Renfro.

Speaker 11 You get it?

Speaker 37 Commander Quinn. Dan Quinn's a great commander name.

Speaker 15 You're going to have a hard time doing better than Commander Dan Quinn.

Speaker 25 He's going to need the stars on his chest.

Speaker 29 Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan.

Speaker 56 It's also NFL season.
