Welcome to the Big Sue,
presented by DraftKings.
Why are you listening to this show?
It's a podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebetard podcast.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys.
I've done it.
And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Leppetz Art Show is presented by DraftKings.
DraftKings, the crown is yours.
We will get to Roz Gold on Woo Day in a second.
She's the host of Good Follow.
You should follow, listen, and subscribe to Good Follow on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
Did you guys get an answer?
I think Tony's right.
I don't like saying it.
I'm sorry to be saying it, but I do think you throw a hunting knife by the blade.
Roz, do you have any opinions on this?
Do you know how you throw a hunting knife?
If you wanted to make sure to embed it in the wall across from you, how would you throw a hunting knife?
It comes from the stomach.
It's a gut thing.
I need you to elaborate and I need you to explain.
Excuse me.
What do you mean by that?
You're going with a stabbing?
You're doing a stabbing.
I'm doing it straight from the stomach.
I want to embed it in a wall across from me.
How do I throw it?
How do I hold it?
What's the point for the gambit technique?
It's like breathing.
You know, you got to breathe out of the stomach and it's like most athletic motions come out of the knees, and then, like,
I'm following that guy,
it's like breathing, Dan.
It's like breathing, Raj is right.
I'm shrinking your life.
Look, it's not coming from the core, you got to breathe, don't throw a hundred yards.
The process starts there, you know,
from the core and the knees.
Don't forget to keep your knees bent.
This is many
a strength and conditioning coach would tell you that.
Solid base.
Check with YouTube, Jeremy, and get back to me.
Oh, I have.
I'm a master now.
I've watched two YouTube videos, and I know exactly how this is done.
You want to be Lewis confirmed that Tony's right.
So according to two masters of the internet on YouTube, you want to be throwing this from the handle.
So if you have an actual throwing knife, you want to be throwing from the handle.
It's balanced in weight.
So for every step you take away, that's about one rotation toward where you want to be.
So you get four rotations if you're four steps away from that position.
What you want to make sure of, Tony, what you want to make sure of is starting to release it.
When you release it, you want to be just in front of your face, but you don't want to flick your wrist because that could throw everything off.
So you just want to release it from right here.
You just want to release it like right there.
I'm going to say right there.
Jeremy's already flick of the wrist.
No flick of the wrist.
No, that's Riley.
That's wrong.
That's wrong.
I'm going to tell you where Jeremy's wrong already.
He said throwing knife.
I don't care about throwing knife.
No, so you're totally different.
So if you're talking about a hunting knife, say you have a kitchen knife or a hunting knife.
No, it's not.
Did you watch a balance knife?
I watched a YouTube video over anything.
What you want to make sure that you do is you lower your hand on that handle.
I actually also needed further clarity on what kind of knife it was.
Me too.
Yeah.
It was an issue.
No butter knife.
I wasn't clear.
I don't know the difference between a hunting knife and a throwing knife.
What is it?
A magician that pops balloon like someone's knife is the one that you kind of
any knife becomes a throwing knife once you've thrown it.
That is an excellent point.
I send a message when I'm throwing a knife.
It's the Rambo knife.
It's too long.
What about throwing stars?
That's only blades, so you don't really know.
I mean, there's only one technique there.
It's like, well, two.
Overhand and then.
No, overhand because the way So when when did we it so they're ninja?
Are they called ninja stars?
No damn apologize.
I didn't say they were Chinese stars.
I said they were ninja stars.
You're right about that.
They're guardian stars.
What Roz, I don't understand what happened to your beloved Liberty.
They sent you a ring and then immediately started losing in the playoffs and firing coaches.
Oh my gosh.
That's right, guys.
I got a ring.
My buddy we had all the ring talk.
Oh, I should show you it.
I have it with me.
But anyway.
Let's see it.
Where is it?
Welcome to the club.
Yeah, go ahead and get it.
We'll wait for you we we've got
just kidding i don't have it i i think i left it in my home in la where
um you know i should i have great gratitude to sandy brundello you know she was part of um bringing that championship to new york you know i was so fortunate to get that ring partly in huge part for her efforts Did you guys think it was a short leash, like after just winning the championship?
Well, was there any indication that this was going to happen?
I felt like there was legitimate.
Well, remember, Don, at the press conference a few days ago, sitting next to the former coach, Breonna Stewart was asked by a reporter, do you think your coach should keep her job?
Yeah.
And Stewie kind of was like, what the F?
And
look, first and foremost, respect to Sandy Brandello, gratitude, thank you, flowers.
She also had a lot of adversity that was outside of her control this season.
There were so many injuries to Liberty starters throughout the season.
They barely had practice.
they barely had continuity so i think like it was surprising and i do think though that if you were looking for reasons why the liberty might have done this um given the amount of talent that they still had throughout the season there were just a lot of a number of games where they had head scratching losses where a lot of games where they had urgency issues effort issues they talked about it the coach talked about it the players talked about it and you saw it happening over and over they got beat down a couple times at bar plays.
There were significant wins they couldn't come up with.
And I think, you know, maybe an executive staff is looking at that and thinking, is the team prepared?
And they're, you know, are they squeezing out as much as they can of the potential of this team given the talent that they have?
And you look at some other teams, they've had injuries too.
They've had lesser rosters and perhaps have had slightly, I'm not even going to say.
I'm not even going, I think it's fair to say have had more inspiring seasons than the Liberty did.
And maybe just they're saying first round exit is not the standard.
You know, I just, I think it's surprising, but this happens all the time in sports.
You might think, good coach, but maybe they're thinking this isn't the coach that takes us to the next level.
Oh, but I'm not sure it happens all the time.
Jeremy, can you please look up for me coaches that have been fired so soon after winning a championship?
I'm sure there's a list of them, but usually you get more grace if you've won one championship that you're not fired the next postseason.
That's not a normal thing.
So I guess to clarify that, it would be that in the NBA, we've seen a number of coaches who could be a season removed if that from coach of the year.
And, you know, they've been let go or they haven't been renewed.
But I do think winning the championship the season before in the history of the franchise, in the history of the WNBA, it was the first ever championship.
You know, it took 28 years to get there.
The Liberty had gotten close, but did not get over the hump.
And to get that, you know, and then two years in a row, she made the finals,
missed the championship the first year, second year, comes back, wins it.
This year falls short in the first round.
But, you know, one could say there was a lot of adversity.
So
it was surprising.
New York, but what it says is like New York is upping the ante.
You know, that they, it really puts a lot of pressure on them too to get this right.
But I think that New York Liberty job is a cushy job.
They could pick, it could be anybody who comes in there.
I should.
should've coach, woman's coach.
I should make the correction.
It's not something I see happen often in America.
It is something that happens internationally in soccer quite a bit.
But Jeremy will find for us
the short leashes that we've ever seen from champions in sport.
A couple of examples.
Larry Brown with the Detroit Pistons.
They were already fed up with Larry Brown before.
He was only coaching for two seconds.
They went to the championship, and then he ended up with the Knicks soon after.
You got Mike Budenholzer, who only got two more seasons with the Bucs after winning a championship.
Obviously, Mike Malone, who we mentioned.
And then in college football, Gene Chizwick won a national championship at Auburn.
And then, after two more seasons, at the end of the second season, they lose 49-0 to Alabama in a bowl game and he's gone.
So, you guys, though, the examples you gave me were two seasons.
Yeah, there's not a lot of people.
You're not talking about months here.
You're talking about the she wins the championship and months later is fired.
It didn't even last a full year after that because they were knocked out in the first round.
That is a bit crazy.
Becky Hammond says the physicality in the playoffs is out of control.
Do you agree with that?
I said, let them play.
You know, like, let's get it.
But it is more physical than usual
in the WNBA this season.
We're hearing that more and more from the players and the coaches.
And I think overall, there's been critique of reffing, like consistency in the WNBA this season.
And also refs keeping control of games.
There's been so many skirmishes.
Remember that Indiana fever, Connecticut Sun game where the girls, you know, Sophie Cunningham was dragging JC Sheldon down the court?
Like reffing, more consistent reffing could have you know nipped that in the bud earlier so i just think we're hearing a lot about physicality but more what i'm hearing about is consistency overall um speaking of physical
it's the phoenix mercury who bring the the pain in these in these uh playoffs and like that's what they did against the link brought the links to come back down 20 and get the win and split the series 1-1 against the top team in the league here by playing like bully ball being physical physical and tough.
Do I have it wrong when I say that Asia Wilson is obviously, without question, four-time MVP, the best player in the league?
And you can make an argument, best player in league history when you got four MVPs given the quality of play right now.
Do I have it wrong when I say, though, there are a lot of people who transcend the sport and get into pop culture more than her?
That her excellence does not merit the stardom.
She has not gotten the
she deserves, given how much better she is than everyone else.
Well, I'll start with the first part of that.
I think that's a really good question.
The first part is Asia's on the way to a resume that will put her as the greatest of all time if you just talk about being decorated.
You know, this is a four-time MVP, I think like three-time defensive player of the year.
She's a multiple-time WNBA champion.
She's a college champion.
She's an Olympic gold medalist.
You know, she's an all-star all these times.
Like she's won every award you can really get.
And there's also the eye test.
She's wildly dominant.
You know how you just watch some guys and you're like, nobody can stop this person.
Like Asia's impact on both ends,
her motor, her the way she moves, her skill on top of her athleticism and speed.
There's not much like that elsewhere in the WNBA.
Like there's no woman moving like that.
So
right now, you can argue that she's the best player of this generation for sure right now, given her resume.
Does her notoriety match that?
I think Asia's a star.
Like, she's got all the things right now.
You know, she's got her family.
She's got her man, Bam Autobio.
She's got her signature sneaker.
She's got a statue.
She's got her candle.
She's got a book.
You know, she's out there.
I think I am the target audience.
So I'm in an echo chamber.
I feel like I hear about Asia, but I do think like transcending, she's not as, when you look at the list of biggest social media followings, Asia's not in the top five, I don't believe.
I know she's in the top 10, um, but oftentimes you'll see like the biggest stars in the world often have the biggest followings.
Right now, that's being reserved for Angel Reese by far has the biggest social media following of WNBA players.
Uh, after that, it's Caitlin Clark, then it's Paige Becker.
So, it's this new generation of girls.
I think Sabrina Yonescu's right there, Skylar Diggins, they're around like 1 million something.
And your Paige's and your Caitlin's are around like closer to 3 million or 2.5 or 3.
And Angel's up around 5 million.
So, no,
being the best is not correlating with being the most recognized yet.
And, you know, I think there could be more commotion for Asia Wilson.
I really do.
I think she's, and I think she's.
I think she's a star personality on top of being a star.
No, I think you're right.
I just am not sure that she goes top.
If I said to people outside of the WNBA, give me the top five stars in the nba five five names give me five that you love i don't they'd say asia they'd say asia people know asia am i wrong about that guys do you feel like you would be able to say asia wilson's name uh i do but i'm not sure that we've been following her from college the way i mean the fact that you're saying angel reese when angel the the reason for angel reese's fame even though she's great uh is not team success and it's not necessarily individual success it almost it has almost nothing to do with marriage.
It's polarizing.
That's why.
Yeah, that's that's angel.
Angel has transcended culture in a way that I don't think any player in the WNBA has.
Even Caitlin Clark.
But I actually just pulled it up.
Boardroom posts a lot of cool lists.
And they have one of the most followed WNBA players.
And it's Angel Reeset, 5.1, Caitlin Clark, 3.6 million.
Paige Beckers, 2.9.
Sabrina Yonescu, 1.5.
Cameron Brink.
Cameron Brink, 1.4.
Then it's Asia Wilson.
So she's tied for five at 1.4.
Sophie Cunningham.
The best thing that ever happened to her was going to the Indiana Fever.
She skyrocketed to 1.3 million.
Haley Van Lith.
So this is clearly, you know, not about being the best in the world.
Haley Van Lith is a rookie who struggled for minutes this year with Chicago, 1.3 million.
Kelsey Plum,
1.2, and then Skylar Diggins and Jewel Lloyd tied for around 1 million.
So that's the top 10 list according to boardroom and popularity of WNBA players.
But I also think this is part of being a woman.
Like, I also think there are so many things that make women dynamic and like can make you interesting or
command attention or, you know, make you compelling, you know, being a mother, being look at the stud buds.
It's certainly not always always about who's the hottest.
It's also sometimes about who's the coolest, who's the funniest, who's the most intriguing.
And like stud buds are skyrocketing in attention.
The two girls with the pink hair, they're doing vogue.
And I think that's very important because we don't often see two black masculine.
stud lesbians being centered in pop culture.
So that's why the WNBA is so like important.
There's the diversity of women that can shine.
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.
But when you think about it, that's already too late.
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.
That's why I decided to install Simply Safe.
Why?

Don Lebatard.
For five minutes, I was watching everyone just like, nope, not letting you in, not letting you in.
So when I got up there, I had to say something and I said it.
Cheaters never prosper.
Stugats.
My buddy was saying, not today.
Yeah, but you're not today.
I think that was what he was adding.
Yeah, that was so much better
i'm telling you the response i got from this guy what i said was amazing he got a cheaters never prosper this guy yelled as angry as he could i ain't cheating i think this is the dan lebatar show with these two guys
Roz, what do we make of what's going on with Angel Reese in Chicago right now?
She gets suspended with a few games remaining in the season.
She doesn't play the final few games after that.
I understand she was dealing with an injury too, and the team was, you know, one of the worst teams in the league.
But she comes out, says a lot of things in that article, a lot of things, which, by the way, she's probably right about.
But
she's only been in the league for two years.
The team's been terrible both those years.
If an NBA player...
after two seasons on two terrible teams is talking about possibly having to do what's best for them in their future and maybe asking out at some point, like we'd kind of be greeting that with a sign.
Suspended for conduct detrimental for things she she said about her team.
For a half game at that.
Dan, in your experience, is a half game expension interesting or unique or weird?
I don't understand some of the punishments.
I don't understand a $200 fine for Caitlin Clark and I don't understand a half game suspension.
Did she target someone in college?
No.
The WNBA.
Sometimes the WNBA is so funny.
And Caitlin Clark, you know what?
She is so funny to me.
Not to everybody.
She's one of those people that I think, like, if you are supporting her team, you might find her funny.
If you're on the other team, you might find her annoying.
But like, you know, her doing, you know, make after the league find her for $200
for, you know, rallyiness on the bench and for her to post that publicly and almost like scoff, like $200, like, baby, I'm, I'm, I'm a multi-millionaire.
I have a $30 million Nike deal.
I, I have to laugh because I'm like, Caitlin knows who she is.
You know, I'm like, Caitlin ain't afraid of this.
Like, Caitlin knows her power.
She knows her stick.
She's, you know,
I like personalities.
I tend to, I like that.
I like everything that that Angel is.
I love that Angel is just fabulous, handling her business on and off the court, a mobile.
I love that Caitlin's, you know, kind of funny, kind of jerky, kind of will stick it to you.
Like, I'm here for it, you know, but that's why I like the WNBA because there's so many cool stories and personalities, you know?
Think about like even the love stories.
Like, only in the WNBA does your partner get to bring out your MVP award.
Like, how cute was that for Asia when Bam did that?
You know?
Yep.
So you didn't even think it was cute?
I did.
I was, I, I, I, I said yep a couple of times.
You didn't hear me because you were too busy talking about how cute it was.
Oh, yep, was just, you know, yep.
Come on, just be excited.
That's a really cool moment.
He was excited.
We just found out you throw the knife by the blade.
Yep.
That was my, that's my enthusiasm.
I'm a famously repressed person.
like that that was that was that was a volcano of emotion from me let's see your form billy i love how we found one internet video where a guy's holding the blade and we're like oh it solved it well no that's cincinnati that's a fan of the show who's out here sending us a video proof in real time here's how you do it you hold it by the blade you throw it you know what i'm convinced i was wrong i thought i was an expert after you did just because he did it that's big of you because is right yeah that's big of you to prove that you're wrong tony go for it so you get you get it here right obviously you have it here what you got to do is you grab it up where it's here
whoa wow, Dan, you know what's the biggest reason that you throw the blade by the blade and not the handle?
Aerodynamics.
I thought it was the weight of the handle allows it to spin in a way because the blade weighs less than the handle.
Aerodynamics.
I thought it was physics.
I didn't think we were stuck so far, though.
Yeah, there wasn't a lot of good stuff.
This is a plastic knife, so it's tough to like.
Do we have any cream cheese?
When you have it here, you get it ready, right?
If you're really in a pinch, you can kind of do one of these where you're
sideways.
Whoa.
Oh my god.
What pinch am I in?
All right, this is why am I in a pinch?
One more, one more here.
Wait, why am I in a pinch?
You're throwing two.
Stop throwing this.
Wait, is that a pen?
Not a plastic knife.
It's a plastic knife.
That's not a knife.
It's a knife.
In case you're in a pinch.
In case you're in a pinch, you got to do a quick.
Wait, that's a scissor.
All right, Mike, this is getting too ridiculous.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
How do you get that?
I do like the French method, which is more like a...
You're fencing.
Have you ever seen Rob Roy?
My name is Enil Montoya.
She wasn't French who speaks.
She guys look
very experienced with these knives.
I don't think people tell me this.
I don't think she's being sincere.
She is the host of Good Follow.
You can follow, listen, and subscribe to Good Follow on Instagram.
No, don't do it to Pat.
And YouTube
is a sharp knife at Pat Riley.
Do not do that.
Don't do it.
That's just
that.
Roz is a big music fan.
Mike is our resident music person around here.
What do we feel, Mike, about the Coachella lineup?
How are you feeling about that?
Well, Dan, the Coachella lineup is very confusing to me because, like, if you look, like the small font acts, really good.
You got the strobes, a nine-inch nails project, disclosure clips, turnstile, interpol, Iggy Pop, David Byrne, Devo, Foster the People, Young Thug.
That's an amazing lineup.
That's like pound for pound, one of the greatest.
But then the headliners are Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Carol G.
It doesn't make any sense.
Roz, any thoughts here?
I like the Justin Bieber.
I thought he had an unexpectedly strong album release, big hit song.
I'm rooting for him.
He's got a baby.
I think he's got a baby on the way.
I'm in on beeps.
The Justin Bieber headliner.
I'm in on Beeps.
I did like Bieber's last album.
Weird.
It's weird with all the other acts that I listed.
I mean, this is like a turn-of-the-century alt-rock paradise.
Give Yon.
Cascade, woo, Major Laser.
They're absolute legends in the EDM stuff.
Absolute legends.
Armin Baburin.
Absolutely.
The Sunday time is going to be crazy.
And I mean,
I haven't been able to go as much lately, but for a while there, I went like seven years straight to Coachella with my friends.
We used to like get a big old house.
It was like all the kids out of Stanford.
We'd go drive from, we'd drive over or yeah, we'd drive over.
And when we were coming from LA, we would drive over.
and get a house and just explore new music artists, hang by the pool, throw some knives, do it over the next day, throw some knives.
It's a great knife throwing day, you know?
I love it.
But I do think this Coachella lineup is a good bounce back.
Oh, the XX.
I just saw that.
Disclosure.
Yes.
Here, Fortnite.
Roz, good seeing you.
Thank you for being with us.
We will talk to you soon.
I was very disappointed by your lie about the ring.
I don't know if you've worn it out yet.
I don't know where it is.
I don't know where you're displaying it.
I was hoping that you would show Zaz what a real ring looks like.
You got a
picture evidence.
I have picture evidence on Instagram, guys.
I just had to secure it in my safe in my home.
It's quite beautiful.
Was it a toddler just killed?
I saw the reactions in that room of a knife.
No, it's stuck in Chris's leg now.
Okay, something bad just happened.
I threw a knife at Pat Riley.
Why didn't you guys let me do this?
I've never done this.
It didn't stick though, Daniel.
Why did you get it?
I tried to get it.
I moved.
Yeah, you did throw a knife.
Dan, you are crazy.
This is a way of doing it.
Right in the groin.
Right in the groin.
Roz, good seeing you.
Thank you for being with us.
Things have gotten a bit out of control here.
I'm worried that there's...
Probably hit him in the dick.
There are so many knives being thrown.
I think it was a bit pathetic
to be throwing plastic knives, but I also have great remorse about allowing actual knives to be thrown in the establishment.
I'm more of a Pat Riley.
Wait, hold on.
Wait, hold on.
We're doing something.
We got to get out of the way.
We're doing something, Billy.
We can't.
Now you're just throwing scissors.
But give it some.
Yep.
All right.
I told him to give it some
more.
Oh, my God.
What do you do?
Throw it by the blade.
Throw it by the blade.
Dan, please stop.
Dan, I don't want to do this.
There's two marks.
I don't know why I keep getting them there.
This is dangerous.
You can stop doing that at any point.
Someone should stop this.
Yes.
Someone should stop it.
You mentioned that.
Let's stop it right now.
I don't want to do this anymore.
I want to get to Ray Hudson.
I'd like some people to produce our show, please.
Get toward the microphones.
Get toward the places where you can help me do a show.
Stop being children.
It's the problem because it's Pat Riley because we can make a Richard Gere.
Please,
please allow me to
host the show that isn't monkeys throwing feces the entire time.
Thank you.
You guys are so busy with your self-consumption that you didn't even hear Zaszlo's crocodile Dundee impersonation.
I was pissed because I was going to do that.
Not a one of mine.
Not a one of you heard.
It was good, right?
I was pissed off because everyone was asking knives.
I was going, that's not a noif.
That's a knife.
That's not an IP.
There's a knife.
Don Lebatard.
If Daniel Day-Lewis did it, you'd be jerking off all over yourself.
Oh, come on.
Yeah, I would be.
Aggressive description.
I mean, what is that?
I'm just saying.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying what?
That's me.
Daniel Day-Lewis does something.
I see that photo of Daniel Day-Lewis looking like Lincoln before he's about to start filming Lincoln.
And you know what I do?
I mean, stugats.
I jerk off all over myself.
That's what I do.
Lincoln, who you outed the other day?
Don't make this a rejoin.
This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
Do me the favor of getting for me
the photo of Bill Belichick on the cover of Us Weekly.
I'd like for the people
I would like for people to see who is the real Jordan Hudson is on the cover here with Bill Belichick.
Get the hell out of here.
Dan, look at the...
Dan, they lost by three touchdowns this week to a group of five team by three touchdowns.
Three touchdowns and a field goal they lost.
And he's on the cover of us
weekly.
Is there a bigger hypocrite in sports than Bill Belichick?
Well, I mean, those photos are from the NFL honors.
Who cares?
Do you think that he's talking to the publisher about when to put out the article?
I'm sure whenever they talked to Jordan, it was months ago.
Who cares?
You're telling me if Bill Belichick said to us
weekly, or Bill Belichick felt like, I don't want to be on the cover of Us Weekly, we just lost by 24 points to a UCF team.
I probably shouldn't be on us weekly this week.
You don't think that that cover is getting pulled?
That they're not doing it this week?
They did not participate with the article and they did not do a photo shoot and you're calling him the biggest hypocrite in sport.
Because Dan, it's not just in a vacuum.
We're not just talking about this.
Dan, when have you ever seen a player and or a coach while their team is warming up for a game, their girlfriend and or wife is chatting with them on the sideline.
Forget that they gave a kiss too.
I know they didn't make out that was AI.
Everybody calm down.
But
have you ever seen a player or a coach with his wife on the sideline chatting it up while the team is training?
I've seen like videos like Nick Saban's daughter is always on social media.
I don't think it's that crazy.
But for what it's worth, I don't know that we really ever would know just because we're not focused.
The interaction where they're kissing.
This is a guy who spent his entire tenure with the Patriots not allowing anyone to do anything in the public not football related.
No distractions.
Everybody needs to be a bore.
And now, which by the way, we've seen when Doesn't have Brady kind of a lousy coach.
And now
he's at UNC.
And he's this big public figure.
It's non-stop distractions.
And on top of it, his team sucks.
His teams two and two.
They get smoked by non-Power 4 teams.
They are a power four team i just want to make it abundantly clear you referred to them as yes you're right i'm sorry i'm sorry that's a big 12 i'm sorry they only have wins against you're right i'm sorry they only have wins against group of five teams you're right i'm sorry
they still got their kicked in by you cfr that's the point when she shows him this what like came out today do you think she calls it u.s weekly because it just sounds more sophisticated they got their butts kicked and he's on the cover of us weekly belichik again they didn't participate in the article they didn't take the photo shoot doesn't matter he doesn't but he doesn't doesn't.
I don't think they consulted with him on what they were doing or why they were doing it.
And
they didn't consult with him.
Do you mind
if we run this as the cover of the magazine after you've lost at UCF 34 to 9?
He's the biggest hypocrite in all of sports, it really is.
Next week, Mike McDaniel.
Like, it is odd.
It's just a weird thing for a football coach to be on the cover.
Again.
Not his choice.
He's not the editor of the magazine.
Just to be clear, you think the odd thing about Bill Belichick right now is that he's on the cover of Us Weekly and not that he's there with someone that he met when they were probably a teenager?
He's 50 years older than her.
Can we be honest for a second, too?
The whole thing is ridiculous.
I think most people would agree with that, but the argument
that I would make.
Didn't he say she teaches him things?
Does that seem real?
I would say the only part of that that seems real is that I can imagine that Bill Belichick hasn't cared about any relationship outside of football that doesn't have anything to do with football in about 50 years.
So he might be a bit of a toddler relationship-wise.
Who's the last person that taught a 70-year-old anything?
70-year-olds don't want to learn anything.
You just taught Pat Riley something with that knife throwing at his face.
I didn't throw anything at Pat Riley, just to be clear.
Greg Cody, Drank Gatorade for the first time, we taught him Gatorade.
Good.
Good example.
Thank you, Dan.
Can I throw this knife down?
I'd like you guys to stop throwing knives for the moment.
Not a sentence I thought I would throw it
seem like an unnecessary.
I'm not going to stand this Belichick.
You know what?
I'm going up.
I'm in Chapel Hill next weekend.
Chapel Bill.
What are you going to do?
We thought UNC Clemson was going to be a good game.
All right.
So I'm in Chapel Hill next weekend with ESPN radio.
I hate this Belichick so much.
I might actually buy a ticket to the game so I could sit in the stands and just boo all game long.
It's sitting in the press box of the credential.
You won't.
It might not be good enough for me.
I might buy a ticket.
They'll probably be super cheap.
Team sucks.
I might buy a ticket, sit in the stands, and amidst the sea of UNC students, I don't care.
It's not scurred.
You can't be scurred.
Everybody knows that.
I might sit in the student section and I'm just going to boo Belichick all game long.
No one here believes you.
We think it's...
I might do it.
We think it's an idle threat.
We think that might is doing a lot of lifting there because we don't believe you.
No one here believes you.
Everyone's looking at you with skepticism.
Billy.
Billy, most of all.
Billy believes that you're full of shit.
The phrase you just used a second ago, getting your shit kicked in.
Can someone explain to me that phrase?
because is this so what's happening there you've got the shit outside your body and then someone's kicking you in the ass so much that it goes back in your body i think what no i think the boot goes so far up the ass that it it kicks the shit that is presently residing on the precipice of the hole in i just thought it was like your face with everything that's on the outside's in now like all that shit in 83 right now at game time if you want to go to that game
no i want to sit in the student section probably you're going to do like a 22 jump street that you're pretending that you're like a student how do you do fellow kids no i don't have to be a student to sit in in the student section.
Hello, here's my ticket.
This is where I'm sitting.
You have that backwards hat on.
So
I'm a student.
Yeah.
I'm here.
I'm here at Sherva Belichick.
And then, swerve, yo.
When the game starts, they see what I'm really about.
And I'm about booing and heckling the whole game.
6'7.
Swerve, yo.
Are you wearing a North Carolina shirt?
No, of course not.
Wear a North Carolina shirt, rip it off, and shirt on your knees.
Swerve, yo.
Wow.
That's what the swerve is.
Chris, what is this 6'7 thing that's become so popular now as I get left behind by young people?
What is this 6'7 thing?
I wish I could tell you.
I know my daughter's been saying it.
I think it means mid, but the kids, you'd have Zaz, do you know?
My kid's probably saying it.
My younger son is non-stop with it also.
He thinks it's the funniest thing.
I have no idea what it is.
Anyone?
Can anyone help us?
It's a meme.
6'7.
And you kind of go yes or no.
Right, but what it is is basically where it stems from is Lamello Ball at one point was asked about his height, and he's like, I don't know, like 6'7.
And then it got sampled in a song.
And that went viral on TikTok.
And now all the kids say it all the time.
But it doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Like when I was a counselor at the camp that I work at, basically every single time they heard the number six or the number seven, it was just that everybody would just go, six, seven.
And that's pretty much it.
And you just kind of do the maso menos right here.
Maso menos.
That's what we're saying with 6'7.
And it's because the balls are still popular with young people.
The balls introduced
an era of sports coverage that was different than most I'd experienced, where young people in high school were watching one of the balls play in Lithuania because the balls,
you know, after the Kardashians, the balls were like the sports equivalent to kids.
It is kind of crazy that Lamello Ball is 6'7.
He's basically Zion size.
He's the only reason to watch that basketball team for the last 20 years, or maybe longer.
I don't even think he's a reason to watch it.
Maybe the first, well, okay.
Put some respect on a mecha oak force name.
Con ka nipple, anybody.

Best broadcaster in the history of South Florida.
Give me a call of his.
We're going to do this every day until the World Cup.
It's a double for the Argentine.
This is a magisterial goal of the highest order.
This is a fabulous ball played across with pinpoint accuracy and it is finished with the coolness of the Greyhound's nose.
Zaslo, how do you greet people from afar?
I'm always a little bit self-conscious about this.
Close up, I'll give the head nod, but from afar, how do you do it?
Wouldn't you do a head nod from afar?
You that close?
Yeah, well, just close enough to see me, but a head nod that I'm talking about further away that a head nod.
There's a range of distance that requires some other kind of greeting.
I'll throw two fingers up is what I'll do from a distance.
A peace sign.
I'll just wave two fingers, though.
It's not the peace sign by itself.
It's two.
It's windshield.
Can you tell them me get out of the way?
Windshield wiper two fingers.
I've been doing a very similar thing, two fingers, but instead of the peace sign, I'm going this, and I don't like it.
I do like the what's this thing?
Oh, it's a shocker.
It's not the J Glazer.
It's the thumb and pinky, like, surfer.
Shock a bro.
That's a shocker, bro.
And it's just like, if I'm far away, if I see somebody, like, and then I'm always like, what am I doing?
Put the index finger up, you're Jay Glazer.
Yeah, that is true.
I would lose that if I were you.
Yeah, that was.
Or the index finger does help a lot.
But that's, I love you inside.
Now I'm losing.
Now I'm like, that's why he does that.
He loves.
He's all love.
So what I've been doing, and I've been, it's 100% satisfaction rate.
And I started doing it, and I was like, you know what?
Because everybody smiles at me when I do it.
That's how I know.
Nobody looks at me and is like.
He just lies about things.
Okay.
Give me the knife.
Give me the knife.
I don't think his confidence is
by the blade.
I don't think his confidence is
not throw that by the blade.
You're lying about that.
So what I do is, and this works on the train.
Obviously, I take the train every day.
And the conductor of the Metro Rail sits at the front of the train, right?
So, what I do is this, and it's obviously a little bit ways away, maybe 10-15 feet away, but it's worked as far as 30 feet.
I go like this, and I walk by,
point at them,
just a point, like you, you, I don't say anything else,
and they point back at me.
That's how I know the satisfaction is 100%
because they point back, but it doesn't matter what he thinks, Dan.
Who gives a shit what Billy thinks, Dan?
Hey, everyone, it's Mike Ryan.
One thing about me that everybody knows, I absolutely love Miller Light.
You know what else I love?
You.
That's right, you.
Listening on your way to work right now, wondering whether or not today is the day to tell your boss what you really think of the new reports he needs filled out every week.
