Hour 2: Amin Gets Punched By Cal Raleigh (feat. Amin Elhassan)

Alright, Smirnoff.

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

Here's the deal: game day is everything.

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

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.

Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

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

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.

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.

Smirnoff, number 21 vodka.

Distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume.

The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York.

I didn't think the pain from the shingles rash would affect simple everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around.

I was wrong.

Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time.

I developed it, and the blistering rash lasted for weeks.

Don't learn the hard way, like I did.

This is one day.

This is one day.

This is one day.

That song makes me want to dance specifically like Aaron Glenn on the sideline.

There's something about that song that just feels like a block field goal that you think is going to win you the game and that you're not going to engulf by all the jet shit that engulfed Aaron Rodgers.

Greg Cody.

So you don't want the call?

I mean, play the opening one.

Maybe.

He's probably going to do it again.

Greg Cody.

Yeah, I do need to hear it again, actually.

I need to hear it one more time.

I don't want to do this.

Yeah, I need to hear it again, please.

Thank you.

Ray Hudson.

Please, no.

Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson.

Ray Hudson.

right, Ray Hudson, right, Ray Hudson, right, Ray Hudson.

This is what damn moment.

It is what I want.

Are we done?

Not until the World Cup.

This is what damn moment.

Every day until the World Cup, we're going to play Ray Hudson sounds.

The reason I was mentioning Greg Cody is because he wanted to talk about Messi.

Is the Ray Hudson call of the day?

Does it involve Messi or does it involve somebody else?

Let's hear it.

Messi!

Messi!

A UK

Incomarks!

This man is absolutely mad

to pure footballing magic that belongs in a different galaxy altogether!

Look at Smiling Greg Cody,

the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody.

Do you talk about Messi this week?

Because I know you always want to talk about Messi, and he was great again.

Actually, we did not, but I wish we had because he just never ceases to amaze Messi.

You know, he, first of all, he resigns, which would have been huge news down here, except it was fully expected.

But still, he resigns for at least next season, World Cup season.

Still huge news.

Miami Freedom Park season.

It is still surreal to see him in a uniform playing in our city.

It's not normal to me yet.

No, in three years, I still have not gotten used to saying Inner Miami Lionel Messi.

Leonal Messi plays for Inner Miami.

It's a mind-blower and always will be.

And then this guy, they played D.C.

United, which is not a good side.

I mean, I thought Miami would have no problem with that game, but they were behind, 1-0, and Messi scores two goals.

I was at the UM game, so I did not see them live only on replay, but this guy just never ceases to amaze.

He's 38 years old, and he, yeah, I'm not going to say he's still in his prime.

He isn't.

Go on.

But he's fading in a way that LeBron James is.

He's still so good that even if he's not in his prime, he's still

a marvel, a physical marvel.

What do people need to know about the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, which we have not promoted enough today?

What is on there?

What is exciting?

Why should people find the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody today?

We have on Brad Williams the official comic, official stand-up comedian.

He actually has beef with Dan right now.

He doesn't like how Dan's just using Brad.

Anytime Dan wants to reference anything small, he just says Brad Williams, and Brad's noticed.

Yeah, which is funny.

It's a funny quote.

You got to go to it just for that.

But he talks about being in the new Spinal Tap.

Did he just tell us what he says?

No, that way you wouldn't go to the podcast.

What am I going to?

I give you the menu.

I feel like Zaz isn't going to go either way.

I give you the menu.

I don't feed you the dinner.

I mean, you've got to go there to get it.

He talks about being in Spinal Tap.

He talks about all kinds of things.

Great Elton John stories.

He shot

tells a crazy story about a massage incident.

I will invite you to go to the podcast.

Did you know that he played hockey?

I've seen that photo of Brad Williams in

St.

Elton John.

What do you mean when he was a little kid?

What do you mean when he was little kid?

Yeah, CEO?

Oh, that's a terrible.

That was Dan, Brad.

We talked about it on the hockey show.

You can listen to that interview.

Oh, wow.

Oh, look at this.

He's bombing in on my tease.

Well, should I listen to the hockey show first first or Greg's show first to get the full context of the story?

Well, you listen to Greg first because that was the most recent thing, and then you can come on over to the hockey show.

There you go.

Don't forget to check out Zaslow Show 2.0, play up.

Well, hold on.

Is Brad on there?

Is there any Brad stories on there?

On mine?

Yeah.

Whenever I want.

Also, Kane's Insight, going to be live.

Yeah.

Keynes Insight.

A media company that I don't know if anyone wants to hear from me that listens to this show on the Miami Hurricane.

Kanes.

It seems as though the topics dry up a little bit when we're winning.

But if you'd like to hear we haven't talked enough about Miami today, New York.

Honestly, we can do it.

Let's wrap up the show.

We must only talk about Ruben Bank.

I don't have a show, so nothing to promote.

Also, speaking of Miami, because Miami, you can listen to that every Friday.

Brad Williams sent me a text the other day asking,

when people say that someone is at your beck and call, are they ever at just your beck?

I don't even know what it is to be at your beck.

I don't, when people say say the phrase that someone is at your beck and call, what is beck?

What is the call?

No, that's not the root word of beckon.

Beckon means to summon someone.

No, no, but it's at, I don't believe it.

It's not beck and call.

It's beckon call.

Right, B-E-C-Call.

Is that what you're saying?

I thought it was Beck and call.

I didn't think it was Beck and call.

Yes, it is.

It's Beckin, B-E-C-K-O-N call.

It's not Beck and call.

Correct.

It's Beck and call, but Beck is a shortened form of Beckon.

Okay, didn't know that how about greg cody wasn't aware of that but you would not be at someone's beckon right someone you never hear that it's always it's a beckon call i thought beckon call was redundant i thought to call someone is to beckon them i thought those two words mean the same thing you could argue it's redundant but beckon means make a gesture with a hand arm or head to encourage someone to come nearer or follow

I am beckoning you.

Come on in.

I'm welcoming you.

Yes, beckon.

I beckon you.

Don't do that to a vampire.

No.

Because they can stand outside and they're only allowed to come inside if you invite them.

Is that true?

But they'll try to attract you.

Like cops, they have to tell you if you say, Are you a cop?

Vampires are the same.

Vampires are like cops.

You have to invite them in to come and suck your blood.

If they have a warrant.

No, but vampires are cops.

They have to be involved.

They're like cops.

This was covered in the classic film Lost Boys and then later in Sinners.

Right.

Keynes fans looking for a better game from Carson Becken.

Good call.

Thank you.

Who fed you that?

Look how proud he is.

He's prouder of the bad jokes than he is of the good ones.

I feel like you can hear in the way he talks when he's been fed a joke.

Yeah, right.

First of all, I was not fed a joke.

I don't want to praise or blame anyone for that.

I'll take it all on my own shoulders.

What's up, listeners?

I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, I certainly dreamed big.

I think when we were all kids, we dreamed big, whether we wanted to be astronauts, presidents.

Personally, I wanted to be a pitcher for the then Florida Marlins.

Now, we're dreaming of something else, like owning our own businesses.

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?

Because they flipped the idea of home security by making it proactive.

Their Active Guard Outdoor Protection uses AI-powered cameras to actually identify identify people lurking around your property.

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

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.

No contracts, no hidden fees.

That's why they've been named best home security system by U.S.

News and World Report five years in a row.

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.

I absolutely love you.

That's That's why I'm thrilled to tell you that we are again partnering with Miller Light to give you a chance to play along with weekend observations.

Starting September 22nd, you'll be able to go to draftkings.com and guess what will happen during weekend observations on the show Monday, September 29th.

How many beeps will there be?

Who's the first person to interrupt?

How many people will talk about the used chances to win a national title?

Spoiler alert, definitely me.

The winner will get a trip for you and a guest to come to Miami and hang with us at Flanagan's for Thursday night football on October 30th and a visit to the studio to see a taping of the show.

Make sure you go to DraftKings and play for you to win.

And then tune into the show and check out how you did.

Must be 21 plus to enter.

Eligibility restrictions apply.

Void wear prohibited.

See draftkings.com for details.

Don Lebatard.

You don't remember the idea?

I was probably like, that kind of thing.

Something.

Okay, no.

The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing.

Stugats.

Oh, it's a good call.

Thank you.

And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it.

Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name.

You know, all that jazz.

You know, you don't got to do that.

You just have to do that.

Oh, that would be a great call.

That kind of swing, that kind of thing.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Let's talk about the Rams for a second because they really impressed me in defeat.

And I know that the way that we do these things is if the Colts don't get an offsides call at the end of the game against Denver, we would talk about them differently at 2-1 than we do at 3-0 because they would have lost the game.

And generally speaking, in that sport, there are so few games and they mean so much each game that when a team loses, we become bottom line about our assessments of them.

But there's not a team that impressed me in losing more than the Rams did yesterday.

And Dominique Foxworth is saying on his podcast that the Rams are the best team in the NFC.

And he will get no argument from me because what they did to get ahead of Philadelphia, like I said, the biggest play in that game.

I understand that people look at the blocked field goal at the end, but before that, the Rams could have ended the game by simply converting a fourth and one.

And it's just Philadelphia never gets stopped on that.

And we underestimate how bad most quarterbacks are at that.

Jalen Hurts, obviously very strong in the lower body.

Same with Ruben Bain.

Mike's beloved Ruben Bain is ridiculous, how strong and explosive he is in the lower body.

But I saw last week, Kayla Williams did the quarterback sneak very poorly.

Fourth and short is still a situation that scares a bunch of offenses.

And what you hear in Philadelphia, when they know the tush push is coming, this is such a unique and interesting thing, what is happening around the tush push.

A fan base that has won 19 of 20 games and has an unstoppable play is laughing as the nation gets bored with 12% of your plays last week were the tush push.

Not this week, but last week.

And that's obviously too much.

But when they get the solution in these circumstances is always to tell the team, well, if you don't like our play, then don't allow us to get into third and fourth and short.

But they have a play that is annoying, is not fun to watch, and was the difference in that game yesterday because the Rams had fourth and one and got blown up.

And the Eagles never lose yardage on short yardage situations.

It happens to every other team in the league, but it never happens to Philadelphia.

And their whole game plan is to make sure to get into third and fourth and short situations.

When they have third and long, and the ball is spotted just short of the marker, the crowd cheers.

They like it.

They like knowing we're going to come out

for the bullshit that makes everybody mad and is going to make us really happy.

But how cool is that to have as a fan base that you know that your team, in football specifically, where you have to be stronger than everybody, that your team has a play that everyone else hates.

And also,

it's something that can't be stopped because it's just so physical.

That stadium has something that they love that everyone else in the world hates.

Yeah, Eagles fans should be embarrassed by the tush push.

They really should.

It's a play that should have been made illegal.

Every time I see it, I think, really?

It's cheating.

It's cheating.

I don't care who does it.

It's not why I watch football.

I'd watch rugby.

If I wanted to see that, I'd watch rugby.

Miami did a lot of that against Florida.

And I don't love it, but I love it slightly more when it's my school.

But why is it cheating?

I don't like it either, but why is it cheating?

Because you're pushing somebody.

Let them do it on their own.

Let their blockers block for them and let them run.

Don't get behind them and push them over the line.

Football's notoriously unphysical.

I think there's a lot of...

It's literally cheating.

A lot of pushing in football, though, you'd argue.

Not in that way.

They're constantly pushing each other.

Not in that way.

But what about like that UM play where then it ended up not being called the touchdown, that there was still movement, and then they said dead ball.

That was a patently bad call.

Okay, Okay, but what's the difference between five times?

The pushing there and pushing for one yard.

Why'd you have to watch five times?

You couldn't tell after the first time.

I could, and I enjoyed the malfeasance of it so much, I had to keep watching it.

The Marty Brown one was weird because it wasn't like the other plays in the game where they would get dragged by, he just never stopped moving.

He was running into his own guys, was never touched by a Florida guy, and squirted out.

It was weird.

Can I play for you guys something here?

I want to get your thoughts on this.

This, I don't know what the context is on this, how fast this person is moving but whenever i see this anywhere in south florida uh people running with a baby stroller and a baby in it it's uh it's something i look at and say that seems like it could go wrong in a lot of different ways and somebody has set a new baby stroller mile world record by running a mile in four uh four minutes and 26 seconds and that's not a doll like if there's a doll in there i am fine with all of this and i don't want to be the guy that's like i don't like offended by or anything, but this is it makes me nervous.

Yeah, I don't like it.

There's a man running at a very high rate of speed with a baby.

And I know that it's one of those strollers.

It's made for this running.

So like, I know it's going to probably end up safe, but I don't like this.

Yeah, I was going to say, it doesn't matter there's a three-wheeler instead of a four.

Well, I think it's designed to be like run with, but still, it's just, I didn't like it.

That's what I thought about this.

I saw it.

I said, I don't like it.

It's a danger to babies everywhere.

We can agree that running that fast in a stroller with a baby seems and baby skulls are small or soft.

We've got to be more careful with these things, but we do sound like a bunch of people that are going to outrage the baby stroller running community with our softness in general.

On the record, F them.

Shouldn't be running with a baby.

F you baby runners running on a track.

Four miles or a mile in four minutes, what does that end up being?

That they're running?

Like 18 miles an hour or something?

It's ridiculous.

That's way too fast to be driving with a baby.

Yeah, it should be again the law, in my opinion.

And I don't, once again,

like maybe you put some sort of protection on the baby just in case that there is some sort of, because the baby wasn't wearing like a helmet.

There was, I don't know, like it just, more steps should have been taken for safety.

There's an unnamed woman in my neighborhood who jogs, jogs pushing a stroller.

What's her name?

I'll tell you off the air.

Which is actually more dangerous because there's cars around her where this guy was clearly on a safe track with no cars around her.

Well, she is on a sidewalk, but nevertheless, and she's not running at the speed that guy was.

15 miles per hour is what it ends up being.

That's a speeding ticket in a school zone.

Yeah, absolutely.

And she's doing a steady jog with the stroller in front of her.

And, you know, what if she hits a crack in the sidewalk?

All of a sudden, they both go, you know, head over tea kettle.

For whatever, whatever the hell that expression is.

For frame of refuels.

For frame of reference, how many miles per hour was this runner?

15, roughly.

So Jordan Davis was clocked at 18.59 miles per hour.

It's the fastest speed a 300-pounder has ever reached as a ball carrier since they started

measuring these things

in 2017 per next-gen stats.

It's also not impressive to be running with strollers that are designed for that.

Ball bearings, that thing just glides.

It's not a physical accomplishment pushing a stroller.

You don't have to do anything.

You could probably push it with one finger and that thing would go downhill like that.

Ridiculous.

Can you guys look up for me, please, whether in that competition it actually has to be a baby and can't be a doll that weighs the same amount as a baby?

And Greg, what is the head over tea kettle is not the expression what were you going for something over tea kettle okay thank you why are you looking okay I'll look it up instead of you okay very good thank you for putting the work on I'll look it up before we get to weekend observations with Amin El Hass and Chris Cody can you tell me what we're doing with weekend observations next week to sexy it up a little bit we're doing the same thing we did last year which is our weekend observations predictions pool if you would like to win a trip for two to come hang out with us in studio and be at our next Miller Light watch party which I believe is going to be at a Flanagan's.

It's going to be in October and it's going to be super fun.

You win a trip for two down here to be in our studio to come to this watch party.

And if you want to know how to do it, you make your picks, you win it all.

Go to draftkings.com slash pools for detail.

That's draftkings.com slash pools for details to sign up, how to win a trip for two down here with us in our studio and our watch party.

All thanks to Miller Light.

Greg, according to Merriam-Webster, it's ass over tea cuddle.

What are you celebrating for?

It's a family show.

You're not going to say that.

that.

What did I say?

Rear

head over head.

Oh, okay.

Well, I had the wrong end.

I had the wrong end of the donkey.

Other than that, the theory was the same.

Let's do weekend observations now that Amin is here and quit wasting Amin's valuable time, please.

It is time for

to share his game notes.

No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy.

Weekend observations is presented by Miller Light.

Dan,

it felt like it was standard procedure.

It felt like it was business as usual.

You line up, you hike the ball, you kick the ball.

What's so hard about that?

But yesterday, just like that, make no mistake, blocking field goals is back.

Yes.

Jordan Davis

can scoot.

It's crazy.

He followed the block field goal with a 61-yard touchdown return.

I heard Mike just mention it clocked in at almost 19 miles an hour.

I hope they had the oxygen tank ready for them.

Travis Kelsey and Andy Reid getting into a tiff on the sidelines.

I know this playbook all too well.

This is how you preempt the eventual breakup.

Really?

Yeah, you just plant little arguments here and there.

They weren't really, wasn't a necessary argument.

You're winning the game, but like, ah, let's do it.

Let's get everyone going a little bit just so that when it happens, we're like, oh, yeah i remember when they fought on the sideline against the giants in week three historically it's an indicator for them making the super bowl

maybe not this time

georgia tech

miami

acc title game collision course

Mike says he's not worried Mike said sorry I mean Mike says he's not worried about that one he says he's not worried and he should be

no he hasn't been worried the last two years it's not at Bobby Dodd at noon I'm okay.

Well, two years ago, it wasn't at Bobby Dodd.

I believe it was in South Florida.

He didn't fumble.

I have to take my record.

Okay.

Keep expecting that Miami team to show up.

All right.

I just hope that you guys have an opportunity to kneel to win the game.

Oh, we will.

Okay.

Will you kneel?

That trash talk really petered out between you two.

I thought there was going to be something there, but it just

keep it moving.

Trying to keep it moving.

His time is precious.

It's valuable, apparently.

Yeah.

What's the clock at, by the way?

How does Zaslow look at himself in the mirror

after that game?

Embarrassing.

I'm talking about physically, how do you look at yourself in the mirror?

What should I be embarrassed about?

I don't know.

You look like you drink soda.

He didn't go to Florida.

He went to Santa Fe.

And when he looks in the mirror, he sees Bryant McKinney.

Russell Wilson

reminds me of the viral decent man song in that I hate him and I never want to see him again.

Daniel Jones leading the best offensive output through three games in Colts history.

It's crazy.

Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

McCorkle Jones completing 27 of 41 passes for 284 yards and the win.

Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

Comedy comes in threes.

I wish there was someone named Jones who had a good game on Sunday.

There wasn't.

Jackson Dart,

we're ready for you.

Haynes King showing he can do it with his arm.

Don't look at the stats.

Just trust me on this.

He did it with his arm.

Greg Cody.

Stay strong.

There's a silver lining somewhere in that shitstorm cloud called the the Dolphins.

I'm sure you'll find it.

Thank you.

Why do HVAC companies all have USA flags on their trucks?

Like shrink-wrapped on it or on a bumper sticker or flying over or whatever?

Is anyone hiring an HVAC company because of their patriotism?

Put it on the poll.

Anyone not hiring an HVAC company because of the lack of patriotism?

Put it on the poll.

Put both of them on the poll, Juju at Lebatard show.

Is anyone hiring an HVAC company because of their patriotism?

anyone not hiring an HVAC company because of their lack of patriotism?

Like, my AC's out, but this guy, I don't know if you love America.

I'll wait in 10 days for the other guy.

Asia Wilson, four-time MVP, GOAT.

Kyle Raleigh hit his 58th home run this weekend.

If Kyle Raleigh came up to me and punched me in the throat and the cops showed up and asked me who punched me in the throat, I would say nothing because I got punched in the throat.

I can't breathe.

Caitlin Clark

being fined $200 for disparaging the officiating via social media is the equivalent of LeBron James being fined $135,000.

Double standard.

After I get my win back, after getting punched in the throat by Kyle Raleigh, when asked by the cops who punched me in the throat, I would still say nothing because I ain't no snitch.

I really don't think Donald Trump knows how adjectives work.

Assuming I was a snitch who got punched in the throat by Kyle Raleigh,

when asked by the cops who punched me in the throat and shown a lineup of all possible culprits,

I would say I don't know because I have no idea who Kyle Raleigh is.

There it is.

Yeah.

Top five things to do while being ignored.

OLI

B Cal Raleigh.

Number five, rob a bank.

Number four,

cheat on your significant other.

Number three,

subvert democracy.

Number two, weekend observations.

And the number one thing to do while being ignored, take a nap.

Will we go to trial for how I got punched in the throat by Cal Rowley?

And the DA reads back my original statement to the police about how I don't know who Cal Rowley is, and I say that's correct.

And then they pull up a transcript of weekend observations from August 27, 2025, and read verbatim how I called Cal Rowley historic, iconic, and legendary.

I would just say I don't recall.

Which is how Aspiration co-founder Andre Cherny responded to Pablo Torrey's revelation about the Aspiration Investment Committee, which, okay, Kawhi is no-show job.

That I don't remember.

That's how you do it.

That is how you do it.

Damon Dash

has all the moral values of a 15-year-old.

Pat Beverly and Trey Young arguing is like my microwave and my toaster having an argument.

Who the hell cares?

Speaking of hell, Mark Bryles.

Those are the weekend observations.

I didn't think the pain from the shingles rash would affect simple everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around.

I was wrong.

Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time.

I developed it, and the blistering rash lasted for weeks.

Don't learn the hard way, like I did.

Don Lebatard.

Doesn't matter anywhere.

We could do it in Buffalo or Baltimore, Eva.

He said you could do it where?

Anywhere.

Oh, whoa.

Oh, that's crazy.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

He said he could do it anywhere.

That's crazy, murder.

Murder, tell him.

Stugats.

I had no idea Mean had that in his locker.

That might be his best.

That's crazy.

I'm not kidding.

That's crazy, killer.

It's two America's dead.

You don't get it?

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

That'd be cause for concern.

That's brave little toaster territory.

Appliances talking to one another?

I mean, that's national news.

Perhaps international.

And that top line, man.

The toaster.

microwave.

Come on, man.

Yeah.

Bridge.

Oven.

Stove top.

What else fancy people have?

That's a poltergeist.

That's a poltergeist then.

At that point, you have a poltergeist.

Wait, though, if you're trying to rank, if we were ranking kitchen stuff, the microwave would be pretty hugely important.

I think I'd put...

What do you mean, no?

Although, has the air fryer kind of mitigated the importance

of thunder?

You're living in the early 2000s there with microwave.

The air fryer is good, except there are are times, Chris, and I know this might be hard for you to understand, you don't want things fried.

Burn.

Just anything heated up is better.

It's like putting it in an oven.

We are so lucky to live in a time with such an advancement to kitchen appliances.

Thank you, Air Fryer.

If it happened, just like, you know, we were the same generation that got an iPhone.

Like, we are pretty lucky in some respects.

You're saying the microwave is not a hall of famer in terms of kitchen stuff?

Because it's a hall of famer in the same way that Dolph Schultz was a hall of famer.

Like, yes, you you did it back then,

but in today's game, you have no place.

Does the air fryer make toast?

Of course, it does bagels.

It reheats pizza.

It does.

It takes forever.

The air fryer

takes forever.

That's the only negative.

It does take a little bit longer.

But it's faster than a regular oven.

If I'm making chicken wings, it took me a half hour.

What are you doing?

You put it at 75 degrees.

Is it plugged in?

What do you, you got it?

You put it at like 350.

It costs you like eight minutes.

All right.

Worth it.

It's not worth it.

I I mean, the big thing is you're not using oil.

It's healthier.

Right.

And cheaper.

Sometimes you use oil.

The air is your oil.

You don't want it to stick to the air.

Are you guys alleging the toaster is now obsolete?

Obsolete.

We haven't even mentioned the toaster.

We haven't mentioned the toaster.

No, he said the microwave.

Didn't he say the microwave was arguing with the toaster?

The microwave toaster.

Throw that away.

That was a good comment.

If you have a microwave toaster, useless.

If you want to have a conversation in the kitchen between two sad items, the toaster is commiserating with the waffle iron.

Those two things, they're down in the

bottom shelf where nobody ever looks.

They're going, hey man, we used to matter in this room.

But the waffle iron will

iron will always have its place, though.

If I'm in the mood for waffles, I'm going there.

I use all these.

I use all of this.

You use a waffle iron?

Yeah, we have that waffle maker deal on our website.

You make waffles?

Yeah, we do.

What?

What's the matter with you?

I mean, that is like first ballot wedding

box maker.

Why did I ask for this?

What did I think it was going to be?

That box maker.

I use the waffle maker.

We use a microwave we also have air fryer and toaster i got whatever i want you use a refrigerator yes really how about a fondue pot you got no no we don't have that no you got a freezer yeah i got a freezer

what's the matter with you call it an ice box no call it a freezer yeah i know i don't know anybody that does that you got a sink yeah i got a sink nice you got a junk draw in your kitchen

yes yeah what are you got in there batteries yeah headphones headphones yeah wires yeah a lot of wires really paper clips

i think you guys are blaspheming against the microwave.

I don't think you're giving the microwave.

What it means is entrenched on this.

Popcorn.

Yeah, what else are you making that?

All microwaves have right now is popcorn.

That's it.

Take away popcorn.

The microwave is watching the game right now and talking about, back in my day, we would have done it this way and that way.

No, you wouldn't.

You would have been lost out here in today's game with these athletes, these super athletes, these air fryers coming in.

And by the way, air fryer, look over your shoulder.

The hydration oven comes soon.

spaghetti?

How do I heat up spaghetti out of the fridge?

Microwave.

It's the only way.

It's the only thing it has going on, and you can do it in the air fryer.

You can.

Just the better.

Just do a little olive oil in there so it doesn't get too dry.

I'm telling you, microwave's got to be looking around like, man, am I next?

You guys are saying, and I don't use the air fryer enough to do this to know the answer to my question.

That's obvious, by listening.

You guys are saying that the microwave is only useful at this point for popcorn and nothing else.

That the air fryer can be a little bit more.

I'm is everything else yes the air fryer can do popcorn is the only thing i can think of that's like that has to go in the micro instant oatmeal i guess it still has a purpose little instant mac and cheese for the little ones you need a microwave but i can't air fry my daughter's milk

if it comes in a plastic like a little carton a styrofoam carton all right fine you still have a purpose but air fryer is as totally one over the game i'll re-reheat stuff in the micro

You guys sound like people in 2010 trying to tell me, but I need the physical keyboard.

Like, what are you talking about?

What are we doing here?

We're capping for this relic of the past?

It's literally from the 50s.

It might as well come with, like, one of those atom drawings with the electrons flying all over it.

The microwave is from the 50s?

I would have thought it's more recent than what a development.

The microwave is the cars are from the 1880s.

I thought it was from the 70s, the microwave.

The microwave is 75 years old?

That stuns me.

I don't think, I don't believe.

1945 by Percy Spencer.

That was a good man right there.

He has to have had cancer, right?

Dunned.

Put it on the poll, Juju, at Lebatard Show.

Does the inventory

is it guaranteed that the inventor of the microwave had stage six cancer?

Died of

stage six.

Do we need the stage?

Well, you know,

mean, I giggled at the stage, but surely the trial and error of 1945 microwaves would be something that would be imperfect enough that for sure that guy fried his face

There's no current cancer right now on earth that matches the first cancer that came out of that first microwave the first microwave was refrigerator sized weighed over 750 pounds and cost five thousand dollars at that time he died of a heart attack there's no way

incredible hulk

the gamma rays hitting bruce banner like that's exactly what happened they turned that thing on they probably tried to make popcorn Like, you did guesses.

It's so

inefficient.

You're just throwing some corn kernels in something the size of a fridge

and you're sending all of the world's radiation at it to make a single piece of popcorn.

It seems inefficient.

How much did it weigh?

How much would give me more deep?

750 pounds.

It costs five grand, which at that time is a ton of money.

Yes.

For popcorn.

How many different things were you using using it for in 1945?

Now I'm seeing the first popular home countertop model was released in 67 for $495.

That's more like it.

Still,

67 is earlier than I would have thought.

Put it on the poll as well, Juju, at Lebatard Show.

Would you have guessed that the microwave had been invented in 1945?

Yes or no?

I have a question that's out of left field, but how does Tyler Hero injured and having surgery?

I mean, last week we were talking about him.

We were talking about him as potentially the worst defender in the league.

No one mentioned that.

Hey, yeah, but he's got this thing that he's dealing with.

Where did this come from?

Ankle.

They announced it a couple of weeks ago.

Like he injured himself, like, working out in the offseason?

I got the impression it was like a lingering thing that they're finally having surgery.

Infuriating.

That's bad timing.

Why do they do that then?

He's going to be out two months.

That can't be right.

I mean, that can't be right, what Greg is saying, that

they would wait that long for something that could have been done two months ago.

Well, him and Chuck are both going to be out the same amount of time.

Yeah, but Kachuk.

Kachuck's strategic.

Yeah, it's a strategic thing to take advantage of the league's salary cap rules.

But Tyler Hero

is hugely important.

What's going on here, Amin?

He should have jumped in the pool.

He could have come back later if you're Kachuck, right?

You were saying, Amin?

The policy usually is to try to see if you can rehab without a surgical option.

That's the number one option.

It's like, do we have to have surgery?

And so you try to rehab and see how it goes.

This thing for him happened, I think, in the middle of the summer.

And apparently the rehab wasn't working.

And so they went to the surgical option.

Did you enjoy watching Belichick lose this weekend?

Is it something that you're still paying attention to?

Or is it something you've moved on from?

Dan, it was so uneventful.

It was in my weekend observations and I took it out.

I had a joke about like, oh, the season is still young, just like Belichick likes it.

But I'm like, no, irrelevant.

You don't even get the throwaway low-hanging fruit joke, Bill Belichick.

Come back when you mean something.

Did you see the kiss on the sideline between Belichick and his girl?

I wasn't paying attention.

I told you.

Yeah, it was pretty inappropriate.

It was amazing.

It definitely was not.

It was definitely not AI.

Definitely not AI.

You guys want to show it to Amin?

Can Amin see it right now?

Well, it was something that I think you don't normally see on a sideline.

John Gruden on the poorly rated FS1 Wake Up with Barstool show

complained about Mike Lombardi and Bill Belichick.

Here you go, Amin.

Here you go, Amin.

This is before the game.

It was stunning to see this before the game.

Oh, yeah.

Incredible.

Who was he thinking?

Wait, that's not Bill Belichick.

He sure looks like it's picked her up.

The red flag wasn't picking up.

That's when it threw you off.

He picked her up.

You know,

you were surprised by the man's strength.

Good talking, Diamine.

See you later.

All right, Cinepoke movie this week is a Kevin James movie that i don't even remember the name it's terrible it's something about him being an assassin you don't you don't remember the name of it the it's the movie has a very long title it's something he's a writer but in his books he writes himself as an assassin character and then people think that the book is real so they hire him to be an assassin but he's really just kevin james a fat guy true story based on a true story yeah see you later that sean payton movie hey everyone it's mike ryan one thing about me that everybody knows i absolutely love Miller Light.
