Hour 1: Nick Wright Takes a Shot (feat. Nick Wright)

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

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

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Cuervo.

So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Cuervo.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.

Good day to be a Baker Mayfield stockholder.

I was like diamond hands on that.

And you know who Baker has next?

The Detroit Lions coming off a loss.

That is a big game.

I want tickets to that game.

If I want tickets to that game, Tony, where should I go?

Where are you guys on this?

What I don't want to contaminate the jury pool.

What do you want to know from Nick Wright about what this bet actually is or isn't or where my confusion is on what the bet is?

Well, I think I want clarification on your confusion because you're under the impression that this was a bet for a white Corvette.

I woke up this morning with the empty feeling in my stomach that I had to get Nick Wright a white Corvette, and that was going to be pricey.

However, we reviewed the tape and we didn't get confirmation of that bet made with Nick Wright.

And Nick Wright, although we'll give him the floor now, he has conceded that this is now complicated.

Yeah, hi, guys.

Nice as Scott, Dan.

You look resplendent as always.

This is why

it is frustrating to gamble for real money with people that are what I would call more of a casual, other people would say not problem gambler.

It was very clear we were betting $5,000.

And then

over the course of the weekend,

Lebetard, who also has a very odd text schedule, which is like you text him in the middle of the day, it might go unresponded, but then he'll text you at 1.30 in the morning as if we're not both on the East Coast, is sending me pictures of white Corvettes.

And I,

and while I thought the bit with Greg Cody was funny, I didn't understand it.

I then text Dan yesterday about, hey, you know, just so we're on the clear here, how do you, if by some chance, even though I knew there was no chance, never a doubt,

if by some chance the Chiefs lost, how do you want me to get you your money?

He texts back, I don't want a white Corvette.

I'm like, yeah, okay, that's cool, but I just want to know your zelle.

And

so I'm, and then this morning, he texts me, this is going to look so stupid in front of your house.

And a picture of a beat up old bad Corvette.

Meanwhile, I,

I am,

I, I have a weekly betting budget.

I had incorporated $5,000 of it to this bet.

So if somehow I...

I told you he bets big.

No, I bet, I gamble for real, guys.

I gamble.

And here's the other piece of it.

I am, as happenstance, by chance, in about nine hours, playing in what will likely be the largest poker game of my entire life, to which I will need bundles of money.

And this 5,000 isn't going to make or break that, but it would be helpful.

And now I'm in this weird spot where it's like, did if Dan really thought we were betting a Corvette, does that make the bet meaning we weren't really betting anything?

Because who's going to find ship and buy a Corvette?

Like, am I now a bad guy because I texted Dan my wire number this morning?

Because I'm going to want that money.

And if we want to parlay that and down the road for the sake of the show to where this is just 5,000 in escrow.

And when it gets to a large enough figure to where it could could pay for a white Corvette, I guess my comfortability with that is going to depend on how tonight's poker game goes, guys.

Good to see you.

This, this Dan Lebetard, off on the side, texting you, I don't want a white Corvette, trying to get himself away from that bet he made, only to moments later turn to a microphone and say, Nick Wright has to take this car, is unbelievable, even for Dan.

I mean, I don't, and here's the thing: I'm not opposed to a white Corvette.

I'm not like Greg Cody, where I think it would, let me, Greg, that was unfair.

I take that back, and out of terms of respect for you, take a cheap shot.

I would be opposed to a white Corvette if it were my only means of transportation, but as like a side car, like because I already have what would, what is, you know,

What is kind of a ridiculous car.

It's awesome, but it's a ridiculous car.

i because i got it for my wife but it's our only car it is a baby powder blue g-wagon so like that car already draws some eyes so if like i am you

well see this is the thing you put me in such an unflattering no you put me in such an unflattering light there without allowing for the fact that you're the one who suggested that the bet should be the greg cody actual corvette that he didn't like from his wife with a phone number

that that is the funny the funniest outcome but also dan that's because once you start sending me these pictures and then i respond with well if this is where we're actually going with it like here's an actual cool one i even if you checked my google history it would be old school white corvette south florida i don't want that but i did what i did say was if we're just gonna go full sake of the bit

then we need to reach out to greg's insurance company because if I know anything about Greg Cody, he's had the same insurance company since you walked into an office and they hand wrote the slip for you.

They definitely have

his history

and we can look up, we can track down that white Corvette and then make the current owner an offer that, you know, they can't refuse.

That is the, if the funniest outcome is that that car does become a part of this universe, but I need that five grand, bro.

Like, I would have bet an extra five on the Chiefs last night.

This can't cost me money.

Like, what can't happen here is the Chiefs annihilate the fraudulent Lions to the point to where Brian Branch, the biggest, toughest guy safety in the league, is near tears in the locker room saying, and I quote, I got bullied, which I checked with the league office.

Juju's gonna have to sit out recess Thursday and Friday because of that.

No bullying on this campus.

He's almost in tears talking about it.

And somehow I feel like I lost money.

That can't happen.

I'm selling you right now.

Like I like, so we can do whatever white Corvette stuff we want, but at some point, either in cash that is handed to Mike Ryan that he holds for me for the next time I'm in South Florida, or via, you know,

I'm not really a crypto guy.

You're not going to bully me sir well this is a bullying I'm not gonna be bullied this is the difference between a hijinks better and a real better yeah you're messing with the guy's business I mean this

you don't want to do this I'm Danny you're gonna stop being friends with this guy real soon if you keep playing no it's just here's the other thing the other thing is this if I can just reveal a little bit more I then was in a very awkward position because

what I won't allow is for for me to be free-rolling somebody.

And it felt like once we were texting about Corvettes, I'm like, wait, am I, does, am I, is, are we in a situation where if the Chiefs win, I'm going to want my money, and if the Lions win, Dan's going to be like, you don't owe me any money.

And I don't feel as a as a guy who's been gambling since I'm 12 years old, I don't feel comfortable with that.

I'm not going to give you, I'm not going to free-roll you.

So, we, I don't even know what that expression is.

Free-roll?

A free-roll is a zero-risk proposition where I can win, but I can't lose.

Dan thought it was free bread.

Well, it was to Nick, given that he knew the Chiefs were going to win and ended up beating.

I mean, yeah, that's the other thing.

That's the other thing.

And I don't know how much time we have here,

but

can everybody for the

fifth, nah, it hasn't been that long of doubt.

Fourth straight year bend the damn knee.

My God, you guys,

how much, how many times does this team have to show the Eagles?

Did you guys read Rossini's column this weekend?

The Eagles anonymous players being like, we're just beat up and tired.

We went to one whole Super Bowl in a row.

This team plays 20 or 21 games every single year.

And the last half decade, like clockwork, people find a reason.

This year's going to be different.

Watch out for those September Champs Buffalo Bills.

I've had to listen to the margin of victory champs lions the lions the biggest baddest toughest team on the block has a fourth and inches from the goal line and splits jared goff out because they are so desperate to prove to the world they don't miss ben johnson who would just run it down somebody's throat and then have i mean give me you don't even know the rules on your own trick plays you're cheap shotting after the fact you go up 10 to 6 and then get boat raced the rest of the way And obviously, it's going to end with the Chiefs winning.

Obviously, they're the best team.

Obviously, they're the most complete team.

Everybody had the Lions atop their hierarchy.

Now, the Chiefs knocked them down a peg.

Everyone had the Ravens as the greatest one and two team in NFL history.

Now their season's over.

The Chiefs have only won three games this year, which is disappointing.

But in those three games, they have ended Russell Wilson's career.

Ended the Ravens season, and ended the Lions aura of invincibility and the biting your kneecaps quickly pivoted to we we got bullied, we got pushed off the swing set.

And so, yeah, the Chiefs are back.

Dan, look for that car, and I need that money.

That team's dead.

Nick, before we let you go, just 48 hours after you said LeBron James could play at an all-star level at the age of 50, it was announced he is out for a month

at age 40 with sciatica.

Your response.

My response is: very rarely will

do you get for a hypothetical a real-life test to see who's right and who's wrong.

LeBron James is going to miss like maybe a month of the season with sciatica, an old guy injury.

Let's see if he's an all-star this year.

My guess is he is.

Checkpoint me.

All I'm telling you is, all I'm telling you is, if at 40 turning 41, he can miss

the majority of the time to become an all-star.

Listen, if he's not an all-star this year, I'll fold my hand and say I was wrong.

He will be voted in.

No doubt.

Well, I don't, listen, Mike, I don't know if you want to.

I know you re-ran the tape of our bet.

When we were discussing this before, I didn't put any qualifiers on how LeBron James at age 50 would be an all-star.

I just said that guy will be an all-star at age 50.

And if he's voted in this year, despite having the most old man of old man injuries, which is my ass hurts,

then

I feel like I won the bet.

I think we actually brought up that possibility, but Dan is jealous with how aggressively you move the goalpost.

See you later, Nick.

Thank you.

His podcast, his podcast.

$5,000 in pennies is what Greg Cody has significantly.

How would you feel about that?

500,000 pennies arriving at the bottom of the panel.

I mean, that would be a pain in the ass, but I'm already never betting money with Dan again, so it is what it is.

The thing is, this, and like, it's you just sell me, you got my phone number, I'll just, and I'm not, again, how about, you know what?

Binding.

Here's what it is: binding, and because I'm a man of honor, this is how I would like to handle this.

We can figure out the white Corvette thing moving forward.

However, let's see how tonight's card game goes.

If I win,

you can distribute that five grand amongst amongst the shipping container.

And if I lose, I'm going to need it.

How do you do that?

I like this guy, dude.

We love you.

You're all over there, big guy.

But we all agree.

Tomorrow's shipping container today should be

now.

Because Tony killed off the Chiefs, too.

So Tony said no.

Oh, yeah.

I'll take Tony's place.

I want a piece of faith.

We'll allow that.

I told Tony he can have the Corvette, though.

I told Tony that you wouldn't want to.

We can work on the Corvette though.

You wouldn't want the Corvette so he could have the Corvette, I told him.

Because he's riding shotgun with me on that Chiefs' offense of the last

18 games, was the actual Chiefs' offense.

Okay, well, listen,

Tony's out of the way shotgun with you in the white Corvette and your horrific football takes.

That's fine.

Uh, I don't, I do like Lewis, he says hello to me every time.

Um, you guys can divvy it up as you see fit, but let's just hope, hopefully, you guys get it.

But, I, again, man of honor, I might need it.

Play well tonight.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

I'll text you guys' updates.

See you guys.

Jeremy off Mike to himself under his breath.

You're pathetic as you were just doing your thing.

Your little bit here.

Nick, why is this?

Oh, it just sounds like Jeremy's out.

No, no, no, no, no.

Although, if you want Jeremy to be out, we'll accept.

Yeah, that's not fair.

Nick,

why is this card game so big?

Just a lot of money.

Okay, cool.

It's a lot of money, Dan.

Sometimes you have to explain things today.

Is it streaming anywhere?

No, I don't.

No, no, no.

I thought you regularly played in games that were a lot of money.

Why does it mean that?

No, no, I do.

He does.

I do.

But this is

well known.

This is.

I got to say this quietly because I got to take my wife somewhere, and she might be right there.

This is a bigger game than I probably should be playing in.

It's at a billionaire's penthouse.

Ooh.

But I think I have a huge edge.

I've played in it once before.

I lost, but I am not, but it was call it an investment.

And so

this is a big swing.

This is a big swing.

Like,

this game could be a brand new white Corvette.

Now, I wouldn't spend the money on that, but yeah,

this is real.

This is real.

Listen, man, you work as hard as me.

You have all these extra jobs.

You do all these things.

It's really just so you can live the exact life you want to live.

And what that life means is Monday night,

I'm gonna go take a shot I'm gonna go take a big shot so I'll see how it goes and then hopefully I win and then the shipping container and everyone else wins and hopefully the only loser in this is Dan and his ascot

see you later good seeing you Nick thank you for making the time

What is the worst part of the life?

Stugats.

The worst part of the life of what?

This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats.

I'm going to send him a white cordet anyway.

I'm going to figure out a way to send him the one that Billy's talking about there that has no transmission.

We'll track down my original one.

We'll get on there.

He got you how to do that, though.

Going through your insurance paperwork would be the way to do that.

Yeah, I'll get on it.

You could give it to Tony if you want.

You'll get on that.

Yeah, I like it.

I will.

I'll get on it.

I wanted to ask you guys about something from the sports weekend that I think is probably going to go under the radar a little bit.

But Tiger Woods is now emerging from his seventh back surgery.

It is a lumbar disc replacement.

I don't know if any of you have ever had back pain, but when you have back pain, there's like nothing else going on in your life.

And so over the last four years, one of the greatest ever, an icon for all time, a sport changer, over the last four or five years, he's only played in like 15 tournaments and four of them are 36 holes and you can use a cart.

Like if in terms of how aging presents itself in front of the immortals, it usually isn't quite that stark where my back hurts because of this game.

I can't play it if my back isn't right.

The reason that I never caught Jack Nicholas is because his back went bad because the human back isn't meant to do that that many times.

So, Tiger Woods, seven back surgeries, I'm assuming he's physically and fundamentally broken every time he gets up.

And I'm assuming that part of his journey has had pills in it because there is pain all the time in a way that is

unreasonable.

And I say that, I don't say that recklessly.

I say it like he has talked about some of the things that are required to stay on top of that sport.

I can't imagine how much pain he's in.

I mean, it's been in the news.

It's not reckless to know what was going on in the past with him.

But how could it not be?

Would be the place that I would start with you.

But then I'd go another place, right?

Because obviously, any one of us would say, yeah, worth it.

Worth it if you get to be Tiger Woods.

Right up until I give you the singular back pain and say every morning you're getting up with that and doctors are going to try and fix it for 10 years with seven surgeries and it's just going to keep getting worse, worse.

it's never going to get better it's just you're bleeped for life you're going to be in pain for life uh i know everybody would say worth it right up until you wake up with back pain help me understand because you have to assume he hires the best back surgeons available if you're having a seventh back surgery does that mean the first six didn't quite work like like he also got in that wreck that was not part of the script um but i i i do think tiger woods would accept everything that came his way to remain being Tiger Woods.

A guy who, at his peak, was bigger than the sport itself.

Agreed.

I'm just saying once pain arrives singularly with mortality on this, when it's this overt, I can play 15 tournaments and four of them are going to be the same one and it's going to be in a cart and it's going to be 36 holes because what I used to be, I ain't that anymore.

But I love it so much that I'm going to keep trying because maybe I can beat Jack because daddy raised me to beat Jack.

And

all I'm telling you is when the back pain is that bad, I understand.

Everybody would say it's worth it because anybody listening to this would say, yeah, I'd like to be Tiger Woods.

I'm just saying that back pain is singular.

It stops your life in its tracks.

Like you, you don't think about anything else once you get out of bed in the morning.

And the first thing that meets you is it hurts to get out of bed in the morning.

Some people have back pain for free.

They don't get paid what they get paid to drive in a car and play in the tournaments that he does.

And it's like, yeah, that's terrible.

But also, he has access to things that people don't have.

Yeah, my grandpa didn't have the benefit of having the back pain and being Tiger Woods.

He just got to be Bob Galada.

Okay, so he has 15 majors.

He won't give back the 2019 Masters, obviously.

But if you tell Tiger, hey, we're going to take away your 2008 U.S.

Open, your 2007 PGA Championship, and your 2006 Open Championship, and you lose like 30% of the back pain, but also like 30% of the income or whatever that came from that.

Do you think he takes that?

That's one option.

I have another one.

He's worth, it says the internet, $1.3 billion.

$500 million.

No, that's half of it.

For no back pain?

A divorce?

You give up $500 million.

You now have $800 million.

No more back pain.

Yeah.

But he gets a white Corvette.

Got to get it.

You get to keep the majors.

With my scenario, you get rid of $500 million, but you keep the...

Like, what do you think between Billy and I's game?

Do you think he gives up a chunk of his money or

would he give up 500 million to keep three majors?

Yes, I think he would.

I don't think he'd have to think about it.

I think he would do that easily.

You think he'd give up 500 million?

Yes, because he's Tiger Woods.

He can win that money back in endorsements.

No, no, he can't.

No, that's part of the stipulation.

He can never go over $500 million.

He'll never be a billionaire again.

God, he'll be so poor.

He can't.

It's impossible.

He'll get in money he's already getting in, but there's no new bigger deals to recoup that money.

I think he's going to do okay.

So

I want to ask you guys this because you guys have heard me say before some form of money doesn't buy you happiness, but it helps with the down payment.

I would say that most people listening to this,

if they have money problems, there aren't a lot of problems bigger than money problems.

But some of them would say, nope, my pain is.

My pain is a bigger problem than my money.

And once you get to a stratosphere where what you're talking about is Tiger Woods' yacht is going to be the same.

He lost that much in a divorce already.

He could lose it again.

If I eliminated some of the pain that he's walking around in to just let him play golf without pain, I'm guessing that he would like the, the, the, he would, he would pay a great deal of money to have that.

Well, that's why I'm taking away some of his accolades.

Now he's not that close.

He goes from 12 majors to, or for 15 majors to 12 majors.

Does he trade majors for health?

And he can't play anymore.

Can I make it simpler for you guys, though?

Like, what would I have to pay you to endure back pain that wasn't going to get better?

Like, how much?

$1.3 billion is that.

Yeah, but yeah, that's the exact number.

A billion dollars.

It's a damn point, though, if all of a sudden you get $1.3 bill, but your life stinks the rest of the way.

No, it doesn't.

$1.3 billion.

I think you guys are underestimating terrible back pain for the rest of your life.

You're underestimating $1.3 billion.

Dude,

I think I would just take my life as it is now as opposed to getting

$1 billion.

Dude, I mean,

I'm talking about agonizing back pain for the...

Are you not selfless?

Wow, you guys.

Do you know how much good you can do with that money?

Make your little scooter.

Super easy.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Super easy for you guys as I wheel into our 12th national title celebration.

It's also not like back pain where he can't walk.

He can't play golf for a weekend without it hurting him.

The pain I'm talking about is like every morning you're in pain getting out of bed.

If you have seven surgeries in 10 years, something's really wrong with your body.

That's right.

The selfless good I'm going to do is winning 12 natties with the University of Miami as Arch Manning plays for them.

Let me ask you guys if...

Did you take Arch?

From yet.

I'm proud stockholder.

You would take him next year?

He looked good.

He looked good.

Your voice went up when you said that.

No, he comes back, right?

He's not going anywhere.

He looked really good.

He's not going anywhere.

He looked good, man.

He looked good.

Mike has been doing deep dives the last three weeks on how Arch Manning looks against pressure.

He actually looks in the pocket the way, and this is something that you can feel, right?

Because

I thought the easiest betting mismatch in that Texas-Oklahoma game was how good that Oklahoma line is against how bad that Texas offensive line is.

But Arch Manning has some moments young amid the frenzy where he looks like there was only one young quarterback I saw yesterday, young quarterback, that looked in the pocket this way, and it was Drake May, where you're like, oh, he's figured out how to move around in there.

He's totally comfortable back there.

He's feeling things correctly now.

Over the course of 40 years, the Patriots are going to end up being bad for three of those years, and the Dolphins did nothing with those three years.

They were, yeah, they put a couple of four and 12 seasons together, and Drake May is now obviously the first-round talent.

And when you put an organization around it that's not Cleveland or Carolina, that withstands Jared Mayo, gets rid of him, and then makes it vraible, the Bills have an instant challenger in the division because we can all see, oh, that quarterback can do that.

Give Give Arch Manning a minute, okay?

Because it's fair to...

No more stock.

I bought the dip.

I tried to tell you.

Try to tell you.

Red River.

Weird game.

Yeah, it always is.

And Texas now number seven ahead of Miami in the

future rankings.

Hey audience, I got a special treat for you because I want to talk to you about Miller Light, but I want to talk to you about Miller Light with my good friend Rose.

Hey, Rose.

Hi, everybody.

When we hang out, and we hang out often, we're friends.

I consider us friends.

Yeah, me too.

We're often toasting the good times.

And what am I toasting with?

With Miller Light.

That's right, Miller Light.

Whether you're hanging out with your dear friend Rose or at game day, it just hits different when you got a Miller Light in your hand.

From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, it's a beer that has been there for every moment.

50 years of great taste, simple ingredients, and that iconic golden color that you can spot across the room.

And it's just not the color of the beer, which is brilliant.

That beautiful white can.

How beautiful is that?

Is that you doing the sound of a can opening?

Is that your favorite sound?

Oh, no.

It is a horsey.

A horsey?

All right, we'll stop doing that.

And here's a kicker.

Miller Light is just 96 calories, 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

The original light beer since 1975.

That's right.

And still hitting different five decades later.

You're so good at this, Rose.

I know.

So whatever your game day looks like, remember, Miller time is always a good time.

Look at us.

We're a great tag team.

I'm five again.

Can you do that beer sound one more time?

And the horse sound one more time.

I regret asking you about that one, but the Miller Light sound is good.

Miller Light.

Great taste, 96 calories.

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

It's Miller.

Time.

Celebrate responsive.

Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Tin.

96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce.

On sess.

No, it says.

Oh, ses.

Don Lebatard.

I feel like we need to normalize saying the scientific terms for organs on the air.

Like if someone, yes, you know what?

If someone takes a foul ball to the penis, we should just say he took a foul ball to the penis.

Saying

that free kick hit him right in the cocka-doodle-doo.

This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

The thing that I wanted to say from yesterday, and I want to ask this question because

it's going to skip under the radar from the football of yesterday because

I think many of us learned together: ah, Jacoby Brissett's there back up, and it's a close game.

It's nice, it was comforting to see Jacoby Brissette back out there doing Jacoby Brissette things.

But the things that happened in the Colts' locker room before that game that make them one of the good teams in the league that can escape on one of those weird Sundays where Arizona has no business being in a game, but their defense is really good, and the Colts' offense is really good.

So the Colts offense did things to the Arizona defense.

But also, before the game, Anthony Richardson is doing something with those elastic bands and shatters an orbital bone.

I can't even imagine how horrific this was in the locker room where he ends up in the hospital because one of these bands has snapped in his face and now he's hospitalized.

But also during that game, they lose their number one corner to a concussion from just colliding during warm-ups with a teammate.

And what I wanted to ask you guys, if you're the Colts in that circumstance and they have a down game and talked afterward about, yeah, that was weird.

Our energy was totally off because we were like worried because our guy was headed to the hospital and another one had a concussion.

Do you think your team is haunted?

Do you leave the locker room saying, I don't want to play today?

Everything here is haunted.

That's two, not one.

I believe there are ghosts here.

I don't want to play football today.

Jim Merce having a hell of a time in the afterlife.

Trevorius Ward is their number one cover corner, and he gets concussed concussed before the game.

And all of a sudden, Brissette's like, I wish I had done that myself.

It looked like he got knocked out.

Like, he was running full speed and hit a guy that looked like a fridge, and all of a sudden he was like laying lifeless almost off.

I wanted to ask you, this happened twice in college football.

So the Arkansas, Tennessee game, did you see that the coach's comm box, which looks like

a microwave from like 1950, they knocked out all the comms between the coaches because a kid hit a...

a giant thing that shouldn't be that close to the field that seems dangerous.

And in a game I was watching, a kid carted off in an ambulance who the week before in Tennessee or two weeks before ran into a brick wall because it's too close to those

two-ton Beluga whale goalposts.

Should the brick wall and the Coach Khan machine be those giant things near violent people moving very quickly so that, like, does that make any sense to you guys?

Like, brick wall was too close.

It's out there.

I think we saw what it, you know, the pitfalls of having the brick wall there at the back of the end zone.

Yeah, that ranks right up there with photographers being about an inch and a half from the end line on an NBA court and players plowing into

photographers.

Same thing.

What did you guys make of Nick Wright sticking out his chest on the idea that the Lions were bullied?

Because I just look, their offense seems like if it would be on the road occasionally against really good defense, it could be slowed just because that's what we've seen happen with Green Bay.

It didn't happen against Baltimore.

It happened against Green Bay and it happens against the Chiefs.

And that whole game ends up swinging because the Chiefs score a touchdown at the end of the first half, get the ball, and score another touchdown to start the second half.

And now Detroit's just chasing.

The Amon Raw St.

Brown drop

proved to be

pivotal.

That totally ruined their chances in that game.

That was a, when you look back on it, that totally changed the game.

He never drops the ball.

Never.

He's great.

Like, what is that?

Like, what?

Can you guys get me a drops number?

Like,

I remember that Larry Fitzgerald had more tackles than drops at one point.

I know DeAndre Hopkins went multiple seasons without a drop.

I'm finding it sort of maddening the amount of people like

Brian Thomas, Tony.

That guy.

How many times?

How many times does he drop ball?

Third and seven, and it's for the game.

We're driving down the field.

That's twice this season.

That's a catch I would make, Dan.

Dude, that's twice this season.

But then he makes a catch where it gets bobbled up.

He's running full speed behind him.

He catches it, scores a touchdown, and then Travis Hunter is nine feet past the line of scrimmage.

So what are we doing?

Waddle also had a bobbling catch where he's like counted on the ground, like sliding four feet.

I see great.

Look, man, the field is not big enough for the athletes on it, okay?

Because I just, I saw this weekend in Alabama, they're playing Wildcat with Proctor.

He's 366 pounds.

Like, the fridge was a novelty at 320 because they just handed him the ball.

This guy's taking screen passes and running the Wildcat.

He's 40 pounds heavier than William the Refrigerator Perry.

They're throwing him screen passes.

The way Drake May moves, and then there's Tua.

The field's not big enough.

That's what I'm doing now.

With my football experience, I am just looking at every quarterback quarterback at college, NFL.

I'm just like, Tua couldn't do that.

Oh, wow, Tua could never do that.

Couldn't do that either.

So you guys are just all out in all the ways you guys have run, and you're wondering why Tua doesn't want to take all the blame when you guys are just done with all of the careers of people in Dolphin Uniform.

I hate hearing him talk.

Yeah.

Makes me so angry.

You used to love hearing McDaniel and Tua talk.

Remember?

You loved hearing him talk during the preseason when he ripped floras and gave you the interview while you were scratching your balls the entire time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, that was a year ago now, but.

but you loved hearing him talk then you couldn't believe how great it was to hear him talk then theori

you

wow they got that up why is that so why is that so ready

what are you doing

they got that video on fast i'm glad that we can just take attention away from my gut

And my body.

You loved how he talked then.

You loved so much how he talked then.

Look at how you're looking at him.

him look at how you're looking at him he's that man could take those shorts right off you and you wouldn't even notice those are damn impressive shorts i'll tell you the look of love

that's the look that's too

now you're so out you and your dad you descended from homerism look at how you're looking at him now you're out on him even speaking and billy wants to give him lie serum Look how close he is to having his arm around you, too.

Even his thumb right there.

He's touching my shoulder.

I think you're leaning in a little bit.

Yeah,

wow.

Right after the camera went off, he said, Let me help you with that string there.

What?

Nothing.

No, he's right.

Thank you, Tony.

Tony, remember.

Tony will agree with anyone.

What?

Would you believe that Greg Cody came in here wanting to talk Denny Hamlin?

I don't think I'd see the day.

It took till he was 71 years old where Greg Cody runs in here with a desire to talk about racing that I haven't seen since him and Gary Long were trudging to seven miles away from the homestead speedway.

That's right.

What?

What?

How did Mike Ryan has been trying to get everyone here to talk Denny Hamlin for about six months, and everyone ignores him.

They wait for him to stop talking.

They wait for the breakfast on his breath to end up

wafting away.

I'm a closet NASCAR fan.

I'm by no means an expert, but I love their playoff format.

I think going from 16 drivers to 12, I think it's a great system that's working.

Granted, they tweak it every single year, it seems like.

But Denny Hamlin, you don't have to be a NASCAR gearhead to know that, and Mike will correct me if I'm wrong, he's basically seen as the greatest, most accomplished driver who's never won the Cup Series.

And now he's close.

He's made the championship four.

He's guaranteed of his best shot, I think, to win it all.

And that's a good story.

That's a human interest story.

I've never met Denny Hamlin.

I don't know whether he's a nice guy worth rooting for or not, but I think it's a fun story to follow.

He relishes being the villain.

He also has an in-season podcast that is often revelatory.

He's presently called.

He is presently suing NASCAR.

He owns another team.

Week after week, something dramatic happens.

He either wins a race or is directly involved in something seismic, whether it be knocking out his boss's grandson for a race, knocking out a driver for a team that he owns, or allowing Joey Logano to creep back into the Final Eight when he himself admitted, like, I wish I didn't pass Ross there.

Had I known that meant Joey made the playoffs, I wouldn't have let the defending champion in the Final Eight.

It is a great underreported story.

You understand why it's underreported because it's NASCAR and it's having this playoff chase in the middle of the football season.

But yeah, he is considered the Buffalo Bills.

He is, I think that was his 60th Cup race win.

He is by far the greatest driver to never win a Cup Series, and he is right there in the Final Four in a sport that, in a playoff format, that allows for some randomness, it is good to see one of the more consistent drivers

actually get to the final four.

You can't talk anymore.

You have to stop talking once the gearhead falls off.

You have to immediately stop talking.

You violated the rules there.

You've got to,

I'm sorry to do this to you.

I don't know how rare it is.

Shouldn't his team, forgive my ignorance here, shouldn't his team alert him that Logano is in that position if that's something their driver wants?

They should have probably.

Yeah,

yeah, it's not at the front of the mind when he's there.

The spotters do do a good job job of that, but he was already fixed into the Final Eight.

Yeah, it was just an oversight, and Logano just turned to the dark arts again to get into the Final Eight.

Can I just marvel at Greg for a moment?

Coming in here, talking NASCAR, talking dolphins.

We talked about Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods' back surgery.

It's really incredible what Greg is going through because I don't know if you guys noticed.

Greg has been hobbling around a little little bit today.

And I was asking around and I heard that he has an ACL injury.

He has to see some specialists, might need surgery not to put his business out there.

And he's not saying anything to anyone about it.

He's not telling people, hey, I'm not going to be able to do this or that because of my leg.

He's not making excuses.

He's just...

powering straight through.

And I think he is an inspiration today.

And we haven't given him his just due yet.

Thank you, Billy.

You know, I don't like the spotlight on me.

I don't like it when it's all about me.

And so the fact that I have a torn medial meniscus and a sprained ACL and might need knee surgery, you know, I don't mention that.

It sounds if it's torn and sprained that you do need knee surgery.

It could be.

I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow who's going to refer me to an orthopedic surgeon.

So I should know very soon.

And here's the thing about him.

When I was asking him about it, I was like, oh my gosh, Greg, like, this is devastating news.

How did this happen?

And he's like, I don't even even know.

Because he's so focused on his work and all of his other responsibilities and everything else that's going on.

He's just powering right through.

He doesn't even know when it happened, believe it or not.

It is weird because I had a discomfort in my right knee for a lot of weeks.

But I assume it's related to age or arthritis or and it wasn't pain.

It was just mild discomfort.

Because the strong ones don't feel the pain.

Exactly.

Not today, you said.

Yeah.

Is this going to take you out of bowling for a while?

Yes, for sure.

Oh, wow.

And then all of a sudden, it went from mild discomfort to real pain.

And so I immediately had an MRI, and that's what it showed.

How much money would you give to not have that pain?

How many trophies would you give to not have it?

How many PFPI champions?

Championship green eyeshade awards would you give back in order to not have that pain?

Or PFPI champion.

PFPI is a good one.

I'm an eight-time PFPI champion, Daz Dynamics Cup.

But I think only three in the modern era?

I would not give back.

I think five of those were before the 60s.

I would not give back any of them.

I would go through the pain.

Jane.

Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began.

In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

Cuervo.

What are you doing here?

Cuervo.

Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

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

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

The same family, the same land, the same passion.

Cuervo.

So, enjoy the tequila that started it all.

Cuervo.

Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila.

Proxima, cuervo.com.

Please drink responsibly.
