Speaker 3 Welcome to the Big Sue,

Speaker 18 presented by DraftKings.

Speaker 6 Why are you listening to this show?

Speaker 18 It's a podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebatard podcast.

Speaker 15 I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

Speaker 18 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 11 I've done it.

Speaker 18 And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, face, and the habitual liar.

Speaker 20 This episode of the Dan Levittard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Speaker 6 Greg has come in hot, and Zaslo has now been witness to it in the privacy of this sacred room right here. We've had some sparks.

Speaker 6 Cody is mad. Chris, you didn't tell me your father was mad about something that happened on the show last week.
You did not inform me.

Speaker 6 Your father was hurt by something and it just spilled out into this room. And Zaszlo was just witness to it.

Speaker 6 And as judge, juror, and journalist, good judger, you would say what about what you just saw between me and Greg Cody?

Speaker 3 I would say there's a lot of pent-up frustration.

Speaker 6 Maybe even anger.

Speaker 15 What show are we talking about here?

Speaker 10 Like, is he mad at me from the Greg Cody show? Mad at Dan.

Speaker 12 No, he's mad at Dan.

Speaker 15 About last week's show. He's mad at Dan.

Speaker 3 But I think Dan thinks that maybe you should have tipped him off that your father's upset.

Speaker 20 I actually, on my latest podcast, which dropped this morning, Monday morning, I actually make reference to that fleetingly because we do a little bit of our own tribute to Billy Gill.

Speaker 20 And I mentioned why I appreciated Billy so much, and one of the reasons was I get beat up on this show

Speaker 20 oftentimes unfairly, just for the sake of a joke.

Speaker 20 And that happened last week when I was, like in his mind, I was a few minutes late breaking the story on Billy leaving, even though the story posted a few minutes before.

Speaker 11 9:03.

Speaker 20 Yeah, well, it posted on 8.58, and I have the proof. But

Speaker 20 this This guy referred to me on the air twice. He repeated it as a fool.

Speaker 23 I didn't like that. That's right.

Speaker 20 He said, Chris, your dad is a fool. And he repeated that.

Speaker 24 I'm not a fool.

Speaker 20 I don't appreciate being called that,

Speaker 20 even if it's for the sake of a joke. And, you know, I try not to get on you.
Like a few minutes ago, you repeated that 1,600 streak

Speaker 20 almost as if Mike hadn't said the same stat

Speaker 20 seconds ago, seconds earlier.

Speaker 6 So what the hell are are you doing are you not paying attention to your own show i could get on you more than i do would a fool not pay attention i have civility a fool might not pay attention then correct dan you you broke the the golden rule that you taught me years and years ago criticize the action not the actor exhibits the behavior of a fool not calling him a fool thank you billy when you were talking about scandal i thought you were talking about the greg cody show because there is a pfpi scandal people need to tune in for okay uh the greg cody show featuring greg cody uh get it wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 6 He's hot.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 6 look, everybody knows that I love him, and sometimes I take it too far. And around

Speaker 6 the thing that made me laugh in the bakery here was him screaming at me some form

Speaker 6 of, I was wrong about my opinion. I was late by my opinion for by four weeks.
I was late to my own opinion.

Speaker 24 Right.

Speaker 6 You were.

Speaker 20 No, I wasn't. No, because in this case, my opinion was it may be time to make a coaching change.
I didn't think that a month ago.

Speaker 23 Maybe you did. Right.

Speaker 19 I didn't.

Speaker 10 But if everybody was ahead of you and you're now here, you can't acknowledge it.

Speaker 25 It's too late.

Speaker 12 I'm late to this party.

Speaker 10 I now acknowledge what a lot of people were acknowledging a month ago.

Speaker 5 Like, this is pretty obvious.

Speaker 20 Okay, I'm the only one who's a caretaker of my own opinion. By the way, Lebetard,

Speaker 23 this is not a bakery.

Speaker 20 Quit referring to your show in this studio as a bakery.

Speaker 21 The hell are you doing?

Speaker 11 Give me a turnover.

Speaker 20 Like Tua said yesterday, give me a turnover.

Speaker 24 Three of them.

Speaker 6 Yeah, three of them. Three interceptions.
Again, first since Merino to have multiple three-interception games when the flames are climbing highest. Like, this is how leadership gets swallowed.

Speaker 6 I don't want to talk about the Dolphins anymore.

Speaker 26 Yeah, you do.

Speaker 25 Well, you don't have to because Ian Rappaport has come out with the scoop.

Speaker 25 No changes expected from the Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 20 Hello. There you go.
Stephen Ross moving like a snail, a human tortoise.

Speaker 11 So he's late, though.

Speaker 6 So he's late to his opinion?

Speaker 20 No, No, he's the only one whose opinion matters, but I can have a comment on it if I choose.

Speaker 10 Where do you have him ranked now? You had them 15th at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 20 Right now, they would probably be in the 28 to 30 range.

Speaker 3 You think there could potentially be four teams better than the Dolphins right now?

Speaker 11 There's a lot of teams in there.

Speaker 20 There's a lot of bad teams. There's a lot of disparity in the NFL right now.
And yeah, there are five or six teams that are really, really bad.

Speaker 20 The Dolphins among them, but not at the bottom of it.

Speaker 6 There's a theory back here that Mike McDaniel perhaps has the greatest job security of all because the Dolphins are in the middle of a lawsuit, right?

Speaker 6 About, you know, firing a black coach because he's black. And so you can't fire two black coaches in a row.

Speaker 6 That's even worse.

Speaker 27 Get some.

Speaker 6 Well, I'm just saying. Zaz, if you're in a lawsuit, you're not going to do stuff that kind of confirms the lawsuit.
The general manager is black, too. You can't fire him either.

Speaker 20 Well, I have heard that theory about the lawsuit, Brian Flores' lawsuit being involved in the machinations that are going on right now. And one of them is that

Speaker 20 if you fire Chris Greer, all of a sudden maybe he turns against you in a trial, in a lawsuit.

Speaker 6 Oh, wow, that's juicy.

Speaker 11 There's a lot going on.

Speaker 11 I mean, that's. What if they're hiring?

Speaker 6 But that's, I hadn't even considered that. That's juicy, though.
The idea that Stephen Ross couldn't and wouldn't make a change is not because he's not frustrated.

Speaker 6 It's not because he hates the customers, but like, really? I'm going to take the optic hits on that as well at the end of my life.

Speaker 20 Well, I still believe firmly, and I would bet big on this, that, okay,

Speaker 20 McDaniel gets the so-called vote of confidence right now.

Speaker 6 Fine. I don't know.

Speaker 3 Can you imagine if Steven Ross comes out today and gives a vote of confidence?

Speaker 20 Yeah. I mean, but that's what you do, right? If you don't want to fire your guy and you don't want him to twist in the wind, you say, no, you guys are all consistently saying just lie to your people.

Speaker 6 McDaniel, stop talking so much. Tua, stop talking so much.
I used to like it when you talked a lot, but now you're losers. You're not 9-2 anymore.
Stephen Ross, say something. Don't say that.

Speaker 6 Say something different. Like, that's why the conversation around this team, it's the same thing happening around the Jets.
You cannot feed your customers. The game's too expensive.
You can't have...

Speaker 6 an absence of hope.

Speaker 6 He says there are five teams worse. Man, it's the Jets.
It's the Saints who are in salary cap hell. And that's about it, Craig.

Speaker 5 Tennessee is pretty bad.

Speaker 6 Tennessee, well, okay. Tennessee, because Cam Ward's been sacked 27 times and

Speaker 6 he's not this half of a season.

Speaker 6 Look, man, we've sped all this up, right? Cam Ward has to figure it out in eight games in Tennessee, and there's a lot wrong in Tennessee. But yes, you're right.

Speaker 6 Tennessee is also one of the teams, but there are precious few who don't have a chance.

Speaker 6 And even the Titans against the mighty Patriots of Drake May yesterday, Drake May putting on a perfect performance. At the half, that game was closed.

Speaker 6 And then Cam Ward is fumbling the ball into his own end zone because that's what rookies tend to look like seven games in sometimes when they're not quite ready to play the position.

Speaker 22 I'll tell you, I'm just, I'm shook by Greg's revelation, which may very well be true, that Chris Greer could still potentially be here because the Dolphins are afraid he turned state witness.

Speaker 20 It's something that I've heard floated out there by someone connected with the Dolphins who I talk to regularly, mostly by text. And

Speaker 11 whether or not... This is a happens to know.

Speaker 20 Even he said...

Speaker 6 This is a happens to know.

Speaker 26 This is a happens to know.

Speaker 6 Wait a minute, Greg Cody.

Speaker 29 He happens to know? Great Scott, he happens to know.

Speaker 11 He happens to know.

Speaker 30 I get what you're doing.

Speaker 11 Gather, everyone.

Speaker 2 Get the children.

Speaker 1 He happens to to know.

Speaker 10 In this case.

Speaker 11 So wise.

Speaker 20 In this case, the person I talked to happens to think he might know. I'm just saying I have heard this as spectacular.

Speaker 11 Well, he happens to think he might know. Backpedaling.

Speaker 11 I'm not reporting anything.

Speaker 26 You guys need to stay wise.

Speaker 25 That was just a little chicken wing to Dan Lubatar. Like, I'm still out in these journalist streets working sources.

Speaker 26 Well, I mean.

Speaker 5 Via text, he told us.

Speaker 20 I have a text buddy who's very good to me.

Speaker 13 It's a dangerous game.

Speaker 8 Putting out like fragile fragile information via text.

Speaker 20 No, it really isn't.

Speaker 24 I would think the real

Speaker 9 reporting these days still happens with a phone call.

Speaker 4 No. You don't want that in writing.

Speaker 11 Chris, Chris, you don't want that in writing.

Speaker 6 You want your voice on the record sounding like Donald Sterling? Like, is this your voice? No. What they text it, you can say, that's not me.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 6 He just got, he changed someone else's number and put my initials there. That's not me.

Speaker 27 I got to hear it.

Speaker 11 If I see it, it's not true.

Speaker 10 I got to hear it. Okay.

Speaker 20 Not all sources are local.

Speaker 11 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 13 See?

Speaker 13 That's journalism.

Speaker 20 Not all dolphin sources live in Miami.

Speaker 10 You can call anyone that's not from Miami.

Speaker 20 I know. You can text as well.

Speaker 11 But you got that unlimited plan?

Speaker 20 You're the one who told me there's no such thing as voicemail anymore. I tried to leave a voicemail with this kid.
It says mailbox is full.

Speaker 11 Ooh, interesting.

Speaker 20 He's like, nobody leaves a voicemail.

Speaker 12 All right, you brought up voicemails.

Speaker 10 You said you didn't want to play this. Now we're playing this.
No, not playing.

Speaker 15 On Saturday night.

Speaker 20 No, no, no.

Speaker 11 Go on.

Speaker 20 I don't want to play this.

Speaker 9 All right, I'll set it up for the audience. Then we can decide if we play it.

Speaker 20 People can go to the website.

Speaker 11 Our website. Whatever our podcast.

Speaker 6 Greg, hold on. Just trust your son for a moment.

Speaker 11 Bakery.

Speaker 27 Who's in the bakery?

Speaker 6 He's one of our governing chefs.

Speaker 20 He can explain it, but don't play it.

Speaker 15 PFBI picks are due Saturday at 1 p.m.

Speaker 10 If you don't get them in by then, that's not fantasy. It's sending in our winners for the week.
Send in by Saturday at 1 p.m. If you don't do it, you start getting texts.

Speaker 9 If it's like 4 or 5 p.m., he sends a text.

Speaker 15 This is the last text. I will be calling.

Speaker 10 I did my oktoberfest on saturday with my family you know the thing where i got the toe a couple years ago with the guy's toe baloney i did that thing on saturday so i was late with my admittedly my fault i was late it was like 9 p.m hadn't sent my pics yet you were nine hours late so i get a phone call from my dad and then a voicemail in which i realize my dad doesn't realize he's leaving a voicemail this is my dad after he called me don't play that

Speaker 23 no i don't want that played why

Speaker 20 if you want to listen to it it's on my podcast i don't want that played He sounds hammered.

Speaker 11 For a couple of reasons.

Speaker 29 You don't want to play because you want it hurt first on your podcast.

Speaker 11 Well, that's part of it. Oh, come on.

Speaker 20 Oh, come on. Says a guy who has a podcast and would do the exact same thing.

Speaker 11 I would not.

Speaker 5 Yeah, you would.

Speaker 11 I'm literally a liar.

Speaker 22 I've never withheld information here for my podcast.

Speaker 13 Yes, ever.

Speaker 11 Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 10 There's the toe from Oktoberfest.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so what a great sentence by you.

Speaker 11 I was at my annual October Fest.

Speaker 6 Like, I cannot tell you, okay?

Speaker 6 I cannot tell you. You brought me back to a time so disconcerting, so, so unpleasant, where you revealed the toe from, yes, your Octoberfest.

Speaker 20 October Fest.

Speaker 10 I was in a bathroom, and I looked down. I'm like, sitting at the stall, and I look to the right, and this guy's encroachment.
Encroachment. Guy next to me, he's in my stall.
His foot was in my area.

Speaker 6 I have to get to the

Speaker 6 Hampton Farms nuttiest fan. Please keep this energy off show, Greg.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 29 Wait, so we're not playing the voicemail?

Speaker 20 No, you can hear it on my podcast, which dropped this morning. I mean, seriously, I'm not proud of it.

Speaker 4 Oh, wait a minute, it already dropped?

Speaker 11 Yes.

Speaker 20 I didn't know I was being recorded.

Speaker 4 No, you did.

Speaker 12 You didn't hang up your phone.

Speaker 11 Okay. You called me.

Speaker 15 That's the best part of this.

Speaker 6 You've already aired this, and now you're embargoing something you've already aired?

Speaker 20 Yeah, because if you want to listen to it, you can go to my podcast.

Speaker 10 This is him talking to my mom after he's called me, saying that

Speaker 10 I need to be able to punish him for not getting his picks in, and I I need your vote.

Speaker 12 This is collusion.

Speaker 10 He's talking to another member of the league that he sleeps with, and he's a commissioner.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 9 And he's pressuring her to vote his way on a league vote.

Speaker 20 Listen, I tried to explain to Junior, and commissioners know each other, okay? Goodell, me, all the commissioners know each other.

Speaker 20 If Roger Goodell is trying to pass something with the other owners in the NFL, you don't think he goes to other owners and say, hey, I need your support.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I think it's audio proof of you colluding with another owner that he sleeps with?

Speaker 21 I don't call it collusion.

Speaker 26 He's the commissioner.

Speaker 10 She's just an owner. He sleeps with her.

Speaker 6 Bye, Chris. You're making the exact point of why sources don't call.

Speaker 20 See? Thank you, Amin.

Speaker 11 Because we have him on the record? Amin gets me.

Speaker 31 This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. It's December, which means the holidays are here.
Again, some families have those big heartwarming traditions, and then there are the rest of us.

Speaker 31 Just trying to keep things peaceful and make it through the month without any major incidents. But honestly, December can be tough.

Speaker 31 It gets dark early, everyone's stressed, there's a lot going on, and the whole most wonderful time of the year thing can feel more like pressure than joy.

Speaker 31 That's why it's important to take care of yourself, stay connected, and maybe create a few traditions that can actually help instead of adding to the chaos.

Speaker 31 Therapy can be one of those new traditions, and BetterHelp makes it simple. They've got over 30,000 licensed therapists and have helped more than 5 million people.

Speaker 31 With 12 plus years of experience, their matching system usually gets it right the first time. You can switch therapists anytime.

Speaker 30 All right, so apparently everyone is launching their own AI agents now. You get an agent.
No, you get an agent.

Speaker 30 They're automatting tasks, running workflows, making decisions, and occasionally absolutely wrecking your day. You know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 30 An agent deletes the wrong files, changes something you've never approved, or just goes completely off script, like it's trying to improvise its way out of a paper bag.

Speaker 30 And suddenly, you're the one stuck trying to figure out what went wrong unless you're using Rubrik Agent Cloud. Because here's the thing: AI is moving fast, like really fast.

Speaker 30 Rubrik Agent Cloud is the only platform that lets you monitor, govern, and rewind AI agent actions.

Speaker 30 One platform that lets you unleash more agents faster without fear that they're going to burn the place down. You get full visibility into what your agents are doing.
You can enforce guardrails.

Speaker 30 You can actually quantify the risk. And if something breaks, you just rewind it.

Speaker 30 it like an undo button but for ai and that rewind happens in minutes not hours or days and if your business relies on ai agents you need the ability to monitor govern and rewind their actions right now lebatard show listeners get exclusive early access to rubric agent cloud head to rubric.com that's r-u-b-r-i-k.com rubric.com

Speaker 6 here's a question you walked into a stash house and found it full of 20 million dollars how much would you steal that's the question Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have to answer in Netflix's new movie, The Rip.

Speaker 6 They play a team of Miami cops alongside Tiana Taylor, Stephen Yon, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Kyle Chandler, and Saza Kaje, all trying to decide: are they the good guys or the bad guys?

Speaker 6 This movie is an edge-of-you-see thrill ride the entire time, keeping you guessing until the very end. Don't miss the rip.
Only on Netflix on January 16th.

Speaker 32 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 20 He called me on my own podcast. He called me full of shit, claiming that I'm faking interest in the solar eclipse.

Speaker 9 You do do this. You love to just get excited about everything.

Speaker 20 Okay, Junior. Stugats.

Speaker 26 I had to school you and explain to you.

Speaker 3 He was going to take you to Augusta.

Speaker 20 When I was 17 years old, Alan Cherry and I used to haunt the Bueller Planetarium.

Speaker 32 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 20 Please, can I play this? No, let's not.

Speaker 6 No, we must. No, no, here's the thing.

Speaker 24 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 6 Well, here, Chris, this is what I'm telling you.

Speaker 11 This is no, wait a minute, Greg, Greg, we're all a network here, okay?

Speaker 6 We're all working in this job together to try and make sure that everyone gets the clicks and no one's trying to deny you your beloved clicks.

Speaker 32 Maybe we play half of it.

Speaker 6 No, I'm thinking you call, you download it on your phone, give your father the click. Anybody can do that, and you just put that into the microphone.

Speaker 10 The audio is so bad enough.

Speaker 4 It's bad. It's not great audio.

Speaker 20 Imagine that. I didn't know I was being recorded.

Speaker 13 I didn't know the voicemail.

Speaker 11 You called me.

Speaker 20 I didn't know I had left the phone.

Speaker 11 You left me the voicemail. Why didn't you hang up? Why are you waiting for me to hang up? I didn't answer.

Speaker 11 It's a voicemail.

Speaker 6 Is your voicemail full? Because it's.

Speaker 11 Why didn't I hang up?

Speaker 11 What is happening right now?

Speaker 20 He didn't take a voicemail.

Speaker 6 What if I have a solution?

Speaker 19 What if I have a solution? What if I.

Speaker 22 so you get the download, I play

Speaker 28 from your podcast into the microphone?

Speaker 20 I'd rather you didn't.

Speaker 2 But then you get the download.

Speaker 20 Can I stop you? No, I would rather.

Speaker 10 This isn't about teasing it. He sounds hammered and he's embarrassed.

Speaker 6 But he's going to sell it for his own.

Speaker 15 Can I just play the first sentence to let people get a taste of it, and then we'll stop it, and they'll have to go listen to the rest of it.

Speaker 7 That's a solution. That's a good composition.

Speaker 1 That's a decent composition.

Speaker 20 If you.

Speaker 20 You're not lying to me.

Speaker 10 You tell me when to stop it and we'll stop.

Speaker 26 No, you stop after the first time.

Speaker 13 All right, let's negotiate this, Greg.

Speaker 6 What would please?

Speaker 15 Hold on. There's long gaps here.

Speaker 6 How many seconds?

Speaker 15 Listen. The full thing's 22 seconds.

Speaker 6 Okay, just let we'll negotiate this in a second. We will, I assume, at some point get to the University of Miami.

Speaker 6 I got Hampton Farms. I have to do Nutti's fan.
And I got Tony's top five is lingering out there. He wants to give us.

Speaker 6 He's been late with his football opinion. So when he says, Dan, the Colts are good, he's doing that on Tuesday after it's already been said.
It's too late.

Speaker 6 So Tony Tony wants in on the show, and I've got to get to him at some point with his top five because we've got the basketball guy back there.

Speaker 6 And he's doing a good job because he's got the best team in the ACC.

Speaker 6 He's got one of two coaches now

Speaker 6 because it, well, we'll get to it.

Speaker 5 Stay focused.

Speaker 6 Yes, I'm sorry. No, because I do want to get to the University of Miami, but Greg's temperature is hot, and I believe you've cooled him down now.

Speaker 6 But in order to tease his podcast and get him the clicks, maximum efficiency as a team, what little tease are you willing to give your son seven seconds of a 22-second clip so they can hear the rest of your secret shame, so secret your drunkenness that you publicized it for your gain this morning?

Speaker 10 I think there are long enough gaps in here where you can kind of jump in and be like, okay, that's it.

Speaker 20 The best part of that is what your mother says at the end.

Speaker 4 And we won't get to that. We will not reveal that.

Speaker 20 I don't want all of me before that. No.
All right.

Speaker 15 Just play this out. Just

Speaker 10 say stop it when you want me to.

Speaker 10 ready here we go this is my dad calling me on saturday night leaving me a voicemail he doesn't know he's leaving me complaining to my mom about me not getting my picks in in time i'm gonna um

Speaker 33 send a group text to the league

Speaker 34 this coming week

Speaker 34 proposing

Speaker 6 punishment powers okay that's enough if anything like this happens that's enough stop it crashed you stopping to stop it you promised him it does sound drunk and then he goes, and I need your support.

Speaker 11 Okay. All right.
Just play it.

Speaker 11 Just play that part. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 27 He has not to. He has not to.

Speaker 20 Listen, understand one thing. That wasn't the commissioner of PFPI talking to mom's maniacs.
That was Greg talking to his wife. Okay? There's a separation of church and state there.

Speaker 11 But you were.

Speaker 6 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 6 You told, you promised him you wouldn't.

Speaker 11 It was replaying.

Speaker 6 Don't make him angrier.

Speaker 20 There's more that you can listen to on my podcast.

Speaker 11 That's all. Give it.

Speaker 11 Give it.

Speaker 34 If anything like this happens.

Speaker 6 Look, I don't want to keep upsetting your father.

Speaker 35 I need your support. Okay.

Speaker 24 All right.

Speaker 6 It's promising. It's treacherous.
It's slurring. It's a bit.
It sounds a bit drunk.

Speaker 23 And it's defense.

Speaker 27 It was the weekend. And it is collusion.
Thank you.

Speaker 6 It's absolute collusion.

Speaker 4 No, it isn't.

Speaker 20 Is it collusion when Roger Goodell speaks to the owner of so-and-so? Hammered? He wants his support? Yes.

Speaker 11 It is collusion. Hammered.

Speaker 6 And let's punish. Hey, let's get together and punish somebody.
Yes.

Speaker 11 Bobcraft. Okay.
I need you to vote with me on this. Okay, this is.
Like, what do you mean?

Speaker 20 This guy is the only one who's consistently late with his picks. Here we go.

Speaker 9 All right, no one cares about this part.

Speaker 20 Well, I do as commissioner and as your father, quite frankly. It increases my stress level.
Eventually, I call him. He never answers.
You'll admit it.

Speaker 20 But I text his wife to try to say, hey, your husband still hasn't given me his picks.

Speaker 11 Kick him in the ass.

Speaker 12 You'll admit that you're sleeping with a member of the league.

Speaker 6 Just to be clear, though, he's not okay with the lateness of the picks, but he is okay being late to his own opinion and late to this show.

Speaker 20 I'm okay

Speaker 20 having my own opinion when I have it, and I am okay being late to this show. Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's a great t-shirt. I'm okay about having my opinion when I have it.

Speaker 11 Isn't everybody?

Speaker 6 But, okay, I'm going to move away from the Dolphins now. Who are the Hampton Farms' nuttiest fan contestants here? Because I did want to get to what Jeff Brom and Brent Key did this weekend.

Speaker 10 Dan, this is very exciting. We have two nominees.
The nuttiest fan brought to you by Hampton Farms.

Speaker 12 Get nutty with Hampton Farms, the official peanut of bowl season.

Speaker 10 Vote for your favorite nutty fan at Lebatard Show on Instagram. We have two nominees here.

Speaker 12 First, the BYU fans making their president

Speaker 20 surf, crowdsurf.

Speaker 9 BYU president Shane Reese crowdsurfing after they beat Utah.

Speaker 10 And I mean, you got to check for your wallet right now.

Speaker 6 Still undefeated. BYU is still undefeated.
They want into the playoff.

Speaker 12 I mean, this guy, crowdsurfing, he could surf forever.

Speaker 9 There's a lot of people there.

Speaker 10 And going against, we got to always have some Miami in this.

Speaker 10 DJ Khaled before the game, warming up with the University of Miami, doing calisthenics as we pan over to a DJ Khaled getting his workout in.

Speaker 10 And he's a nutty fan. So you can vote at Lebatt Show for this week's nuttiest fan.

Speaker 2 You good, Dad?

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 20 Whenever I have, there's a cough button down here.

Speaker 12 Other mics are on in the room.

Speaker 24 All right, whatever.

Speaker 20 That kind of thing.

Speaker 6 Your glasses are steamed up. I know they are.

Speaker 20 I'm steamed up.

Speaker 6 Can I apologize

Speaker 25 to you here in front of everybody? So anything to avoid you, I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 For calling you a fool twice?

Speaker 20 Well, is it a sincere apology? Yes. Ooh, there was a pause there.

Speaker 23 Did you see that?

Speaker 20 Dramatic pause before he said yes. Okay, then I accept.

Speaker 3 Thank you. Well, would you like the apology at

Speaker 3 the expense of the entire clip being played?

Speaker 17 Is the apology worth that?

Speaker 6 Well, I negotiated it poorly, right? Because I gave him the apology. He questioned it.

Speaker 6 And it's funny that we're bowing to this whim because, again, he's already published the drunken slurs of punishment and collusion against

Speaker 6 mom's maniacs.

Speaker 27 Slurring.

Speaker 13 Nutslurs.

Speaker 6 For sure, that's your father drunk. For sure.
That is the end of the night, and he is colluding. And his booziest, worst behavior, because he wants to win the league.
And you must be punished.

Speaker 10 And the part here I just want to re-emphasize: a lot of people are like, oh, there's PFPI, shtick, bit.

Speaker 15 He has no clue that that's like he thinks that is just him talking to my like that is so genuine

Speaker 15 of how serious he takes it. That's my favorite part of it.

Speaker 20 If I knew I was being recorded, I would have had a little more liveliness in my voice. I sounded like I was coming out of a crypt.

Speaker 11 I mean, ridiculous.

Speaker 33 I'm going to

Speaker 33 send out a group checks to the league

Speaker 34 this coming week

Speaker 33 proposing punishment policy.

Speaker 11 Okay, that's no. If anything like this happened, my mom, okay.

Speaker 13 I love my mom there.

Speaker 6 She's like, oh, she tolerated so many calls like this.

Speaker 27 She's got, go get her voice.

Speaker 11 It's very patient.

Speaker 11 I bet you her voicemails are littered with.

Speaker 6 We should hire like investigator Ted Wells.

Speaker 11 I'm sure.

Speaker 6 There are dozens of messages

Speaker 11 we can buy from your mother just eternal shame for your father, which would be a trove of like a dozen messages like this that he calls whenever he's had too many beers.

Speaker 35 I need your support.

Speaker 20 All right, look, we're an eight-team league.

Speaker 6 Look at that collusion.

Speaker 20 Three people, 37.5% of the league are in his house.

Speaker 10 And you're never going to hear me saying that to them. No, it's my point.

Speaker 20 Because you think it goes without saying that your wife and your daughter are going to side with you, so I need to marshal and corral

Speaker 23 the other people.

Speaker 35 I need your support.

Speaker 20 Damn right, I do.

Speaker 6 Nobody in this family takes it as seriously as he does.

Speaker 27 Thank you.

Speaker 20 And proudly, I invented PFPI, although perhaps my brother did.

Speaker 20 One of us invented PFPI in 1969 in a corner bedroom in 1440.

Speaker 35 I need your support.

Speaker 35 I do.

Speaker 11 I ain't lying. What a political campaign.
It's wild. Boozed up calling your wife.

Speaker 7 I was tired.

Speaker 20 I was not boozed up.

Speaker 20 That's not slurring. That's

Speaker 11 weariness. It's pleading and longing and desperate.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 3 How thrilled were you when you stumbled upon?

Speaker 4 Oh my god.

Speaker 13 I'm like, thank you.

Speaker 10 I just started clipping it and texting it to all my family.

Speaker 16 In Greg's defense, I mean, voicemail quality makes that sound a lot worse.

Speaker 20 Thank you, Billy.

Speaker 24 He's right.

Speaker 20 You know, it's not my fault that it was a bad tape.

Speaker 11 Whatever.

Speaker 11 So if you want the full, you know.

Speaker 6 Hear my mom's reaction.

Speaker 6 Yep, there we go.

Speaker 6 This is the promotion he's always wanted. Not this way, obviously.

Speaker 6 Greg Cody thinks I do a shitty job of promoting his podcast on our network.

Speaker 11 Today,

Speaker 6 today, our audience is going to make you soar into the sky, searching out what was the leader of mom's maniacs' reaction to her drunken slurred call from the commissioner and being caught on tape in what is clear and obvious collusion.

Speaker 35 I need your support.

Speaker 8 I literally have it queued up.

Speaker 3 Look, the Greg Cody show.

Speaker 13 We should all play it.

Speaker 29 Featuring Greg Cody. It's queued up.

Speaker 11 We should all be talking about it. We should all give him the clicks.

Speaker 6 We should all play it at the same time. We should all like, we should have it.

Speaker 1 I've got the time stamp in everybody.

Speaker 11 What's the time stamp? Good to meet you. No, 52-42.

Speaker 6 Let's all do it at once.

Speaker 6 Let's have our other employees from the other room come in and all click on the podcast and all

Speaker 6 air this, you know, echoing into eternity so you can get all the clicks.

Speaker 24 Hey, how about those hurricanes, huh?

Speaker 20 I got to tell you, Mike will agree with me. For a 24-21 game, ostensibly a close game, that was an ass-kicking.

Speaker 20 I can't believe it looks close at the end because the Kanes, and you know I'm a big Kanes supporter, big Mario guy, and still am but the canes just crashed they got their ass handed to them can you be a cane supporter if you're a journalist i need your support when i say i'm a cane supporter what i mean is i think they're really really good i think they have a chance to win the national but they are but they are good they are good yeah but they they if you have four interceptions they were lucky that none of them none of carsenbeck's uh interceptions have turned into point.

Speaker 10 He had two on one drive.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 25 That was such an atrocious call.

Speaker 25 That was the the worst interception that he threw, the one that didn't end up counting.

Speaker 11 It was a bad route, though, I think.

Speaker 4 You could crush him.

Speaker 26 That's what he always says, apparently.

Speaker 6 You could crush him and them

Speaker 6 today because they disappointed what we thought, what we were talking about, as if...

Speaker 6 undefeated hurricane teams from your are still the standard today when teams are going to lose once and yeah twice a season.

Speaker 11 But

Speaker 6 that is a good team that ended up losing exactly the way that a more talented team will lose, which is the coach took away your stuff on the other side. You're very good at pass rush.

Speaker 6 Here's Jeff Brom with two second drops and just throw it into the ground and it's fine. We'll figure it out.
You're not going to beat us.

Speaker 6 We're going to let that quarterback beat us because what we're going to do is go ahead, Mario, with Fletcher. Head-butt your way down the field.
Try it here.

Speaker 6 We're not going to allow that very good, tough running back to get off in the middle. You're going going to go to the outside? No.
You're not going to go to the outside with speed?

Speaker 6 No, you're, oh, you're behind early in the game and now what's going to happen?

Speaker 6 You're going to throw your way back into it and you got one real playmaker that you're just going to keep throwing the ball to and that's how they're going to lose. They lose at home.

Speaker 6 They shouldn't lose. They were a two-touchdown favorite.
Mario Kristobal now has five of those losses since 2022 as a two-touchdown favorite. It's how he's going to lose.

Speaker 6 You're going to run into a Georgia tech and you're going to have the better players and they're going to be more disciplined in some ways.

Speaker 6 They put you down 14 to nothing with a fake field goal, and now your quarterback needs to sling his way out of it, and that's how you win the Heisman.

Speaker 20 Yeah, that 13 and a half-point line was absurd from the get-go, and that's why it sank down to 10 points by kickoff. But look, they just got there, and Jeff Braum out-coached Chrisaball.

Speaker 20 And I rarely say, oh, he's not going to be able to do that.

Speaker 6 No, that part was obvious. You take away their pass rush and throw everything in two seconds, and you simply cannot run the ball.

Speaker 6 And your quarterback guys this part was simple carson beck was unbothered like that he was not rushed a lot that's four interceptions and louisville made three great plays on three of the interceptions a lot of time that hits the ground on three cornerbacks made three great plays but he's throwing into triple coverage 60 yards downfield yeah he's deciding to shoe easy check downs or check downs that even get them you know first downs with plenty of yards ahead of these receivers to take these deep shots i i do think some of these interceptions are what you would call call healthy interceptions because he trusts his arm to take a shot, but it was a thorough coaching ass kicking.

Speaker 25 It wasn't just about getting rid of the ball quickly.

Speaker 25 They knew that if they had to go up against Miami's defensive line, remember Jeff Braum had a bye week as well, that even if they tried to do normal pass block, that would not work.

Speaker 25 They turned to these cut blocks that were so effective against Miami that bought

Speaker 25 Moss the time and the passing lanes to do what he did. It was just really impressive thing that Jeff Braum did.
And it was what you were afraid of with Jeff Braum having that much time to prepare.

Speaker 30 If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside your house, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 30 Most old school systems only go off after somebody's already in your place, opening your fridge, petting your dog, whatever. At that point, it's too late.
It's reactive. Simply Safe is different.

Speaker 30 It's proactive with this double layer of defense that helps stop crime before it even starts.

Speaker 30 First, their AI-powered cameras spot potential threats outside, not just in motion, but an actual person lurking around in the bushes behind a tree, in a car, under the car, wherever they may be.

Speaker 30 Then live monitoring agents jump in right away. They talk to the person through the camera, let them know they're on video and that cops are getting called if they don't leave.

Speaker 30 That's how you stop crime before it starts. Personally, I trust Simply Safe to protect what matters most at my house, my wife, my daughter, my possessions, my things, my home, my safety, my peace.

Speaker 30 I trust that to Simply Safe. That's it.
That's the list. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and Simply Safe was just named the best home security in 2025 by U.S.

Speaker 32 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 21 A woman who was out swimming with her friends is believed to have been swallowed whole by a 13-foot shark without any of her friends noticing.

Speaker 19 That's the weirdest part about that story.

Speaker 20 You're swimming with friends, you're having a good time, and then all of a sudden, people are looking around and go, Where's Shelly?

Speaker 19 Like, nobody screamed.

Speaker 16 Every friend group has a Shelly, though, that if they go missing because a shark ate them whole, you wouldn't notice.

Speaker 22 Classic Shelly. Exactly, right.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Stugats.

Speaker 26 She went quietly apparently.

Speaker 23 If I'm swallowed whole by a shark, you're going to know it.

Speaker 32 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 20 And at the beginning of the game,

Speaker 20 when Louisville came out with two quarterbacks on the field, started running the Wildcat. At one point, they had three quarterbacks on the field for a play.

Speaker 6 No, it was a clinic, and they've got a pro at wide receiver. Bellies faster than some of their corners, and that's going to happen.
It's a violent defense. It's a good football team.
It really is.

Speaker 6 But if Carson Beck fell in love with, ooh, FSU, this is fun. Throw the ball 70 yards downfield.
And what? FSU lost to Stanford? To Stanford?

Speaker 6 What?

Speaker 6 And is incompetent at the end?

Speaker 6 More and more football is becoming about precision. Like, I can talk to you about how Jags, and the Jags are not serious people, and the Rams showed you why.

Speaker 6 The Rams go in there. Stafford, career high in touchdowns for the game.
Devontae Adams, career high in touchdowns for the game. They're coming out in three tight end sets with one wide receiver.

Speaker 6 This team does it if they have Cooper Cup or they have it with Puka or Devontae Adams because when you're run structurally

Speaker 6 with great precision and the Jags have sacked you on third and seven and you get two penalties on defense, pass interference and face mask, both of them side to side.

Speaker 6 And you ruin every good play you have in that game because the Jags are not serious people. Like this is a everyone's playing right now like a military game of who can be more precise.

Speaker 6 Where are Puka's hands open? Just get the hands open. The rest of him doesn't have to be open.
We're going to do this super precise.

Speaker 6 Jeff Brom is showing you how they do it at the collegiate level.

Speaker 6 And so is Brent Key at Amines Georgia Tech, where this is exactly how they'll lose to Georgia Tech in the ACC championship game, where you've got the better players.

Speaker 6 You know, you've got the better players. Oh, wait, two second drops? You've eliminated Ruben Bain.

Speaker 6 You're not eliminated him because he's great, but two second drops, nobody can do anything with that. And you're going to be able to run the ball.
And this is the other part.

Speaker 6 Christo, the Christo ball, the way he wants to play, Cristo ball. It's stubborn.
It's Fletcher head-butting you up the middle. There were no outside runs in that game.
Miami's fast.

Speaker 25 Yeah, Miami can turn the corner. I think the conservative nature of the runs, we covered this against Notre Dame and a little bit against FSU is I understand wanting to run the ball.

Speaker 25 I don't don't understand why you're just married to the A gap.

Speaker 25 If I'm Jordan Lyell, I wonder what I'm doing with my time down here in Miami because they're not going to give me the opportunity to do what I do better than anybody else in that running back room, which is turn the corner and get to the second level.

Speaker 25 It was very frustrating. You knew that Jeff Brom, look, he's done this.
He's done this at Louisville. I think Louisville hasn't lost a game in the last two seasons by more than a score.

Speaker 25 He always makes up for talent deficiencies.

Speaker 25 Even when he,

Speaker 15 I mean, this is probably the worst Louisville team of of the world.

Speaker 6 He's got four top five wins. He's going to be the next coaching guy.
It's going to, it's.

Speaker 25 He did it to Ohio State when he was at Purdue. He is a really good coach.
But

Speaker 25 Miami, like,

Speaker 25 that's how you get beat. You stay married to the A gap.
You're undisciplined. And you get all these procedural penalties that back you up.
The Oak and Loland one was just mystifying.

Speaker 25 It's just, it was a really bad effort. And yeah, I guess you're encouraged that you had an opportunity to win that game at the end when you put up an F-plus performance.

Speaker 3 Were you surprised they weren't more conservative in the end there when they were obviously in the game?

Speaker 11 It's a conservative.

Speaker 25 Carson Beck spoke to it. It's kind of for a pass play.

Speaker 25 They like the play that they had. It's a conservative call in that situation.
They were in game-time field goal range.

Speaker 11 They were.

Speaker 25 They make an incredible play to tip the ball at the line of scrimmage and the catch is even better. But you gave them that opening.

Speaker 26 Carson Beck said Lofton ran the wrong route. And I will say, from.

Speaker 11 It looked like it.

Speaker 25 It did. But from that comment to the four picks, Carson Beck, to rubbing his elbow the entire second half to make sure that the cameras caught it.
I've been a big Carson Beck defender.

Speaker 25 I said that most people in the media last week made up their minds because he's ugly. And that's all that was happening.
Yeah. It's a direct quote.
Nobody's backed Carson Beck better.

Speaker 25 I said he had a better fall camp than Cam Ward did. That on Friday night was the Carson Beck that Georgia fans warned you about.

Speaker 25 From the recklessness to not being the greatest team guy to rubbing the elbow, I did not like that. He needs to bounce back.

Speaker 16 But at least you've never seen the Kanes, you know, lose games where it's close late.

Speaker 11 So you won't have to worry about that again.

Speaker 25 They've won plenty of games that were close late, though.

Speaker 16 You know, they don't have control of their own destiny to go to the ACC championship at this point.

Speaker 25 No, no, no. There is a nightmare scenario in which they can run the table.
Although, I will say it's different than last year because they do have the non-conference wins.

Speaker 25 They do have the more key wins.

Speaker 22 Meaning a better chance of getting an at-large video.

Speaker 25 Yeah, so like if they don't make Charlotte, they'll make it to the CFP.

Speaker 25 However, that opens the door for them to potentially host the college football playoff game if they do run the table and not have a stadium to play in.

Speaker 22 You hear about this, Dan?

Speaker 25 Have you seen the reporting on this? There is a La Liga, very controversial La Liga match that Barcelona is going to be playing.

Speaker 1 They were protesting?

Speaker 23 Yeah, they were. The whole league did.
All of La Liga.

Speaker 25 Stephen Ross has been trying to get this game over here for more than two years. They have finally scheduled it.
However, they have scheduled it. It's going to be a 10.15 a.m.

Speaker 13 local start, by the way.

Speaker 25 They have scheduled it on a day that if Miami is thrown into that first round of the CFP and is in the situation which they're deemed host worthy, they may not have a stadium to play in.

Speaker 25 And it has Miami looking at contingency plans that include potentially playing a CFP playoff game in Orlando.

Speaker 22 Well, why does this La Liga game have precedence over a potential Miami Hurricanes, an active tenant in that building?

Speaker 25 You would hope that the CFP tries to help you out, but the CFP is also also married to their schedule and has things kind of identified.

Speaker 25 You would hope that they meet you halfway there, but this has been tied up in litigation for two years for them to all of a sudden get the green light as hard as that's been because La Liga, the teams over in Europe don't operate the way that the NFL does.

Speaker 25 In that, yeah, no, no, let's grow the game and play games that mean something somewhere else. Right.

Speaker 11 I like what La Liga does.

Speaker 5 I hate the way the NFL does.

Speaker 25 The fan bases would hate that. The customer base in Europe has so much power over capitalism.

Speaker 11 They could hate it.

Speaker 20 I love what they did to protest. All weekend in stadiums across Spain, the game began, and then every player from both teams just stood there, not playing during a game for 15 or 20 seconds.

Speaker 20 It was quite a statement, and television didn't have the balls to show it.

Speaker 20 But that happened in La Liga. And by the way, the Dolphins play a home game the next day, so that's going to be a crazy weekend.

Speaker 6 Zach, to answer your question, the reason why it takes precedence is because Stephen Ross is the owner of Hard Rock, so he's the one who's bringing this game here. Right.

Speaker 6 The Hurricanes are merely tenants. And when you are not the landlord, the landlord can tell you to kick rocks.

Speaker 29 Right.

Speaker 22 No, totally. But that just feels like, man,

Speaker 22 you're not being a very good partner.

Speaker 16 Well, it makes sense that they would play in Orlando, a town that's actually seen an undefeated college football team in the last, I don't know, two decades.

Speaker 25 Jeff Braum deciding, hey, 300-pound guys,

Speaker 25 you're going to fall on the ground right away, and we're going to get four yards every time.

Speaker 25 Like Ruben Bain, Mezador, Mezador got hurt in that game. I don't know if he actually got hurt on one of these cut blocks, but they did not like that.

Speaker 25 One bit.

Speaker 6 Why'd you turn into

Speaker 6 Masona Tim Robinson right there?

Speaker 11 They did not like that. They didn't lie.

Speaker 25 They hated having offensive linemen cut at their knees as soon as the ball was snapped.

Speaker 25 And it was just, I mean, Jeff Braum is so friggin' good it's a promising strategy he's so good he's so smart promising

Speaker 6 the average throw was 2.32 seconds you eliminate the pass rush that way i mean look there aren't a lot of i i i want to talk to you guys for a second about precision the jacksonville rams game To go on the road and score 35 points because Matthew Stafford would be a league changer right now if he changed teams because of what I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 A precision that, hey, Puka, the rest of you doesn't have to get open, just your hands.

Speaker 6 They've got to cover everything all over the field. And we're so precise with Devontae Adams that Devontae Adams has been good for a long time.

Speaker 6 That's as productive as he can be without Puka, without Cooper Cup.

Speaker 6 Like they could just recreate it because at that position, they've got what you're going to see from Baker Mayfield now, where when you have one of these guys

Speaker 6 and you're watching him play professional college games that rub the elbow in the second half when you start throwing the interceptions, people start crafting your story.

Speaker 6 Like, we're already, we're making these kids professional before they're ready to be professional.

Speaker 6 Okay, so four interceptions is going to hurt when everyone was just saying a minute ago, Carson Beck, you can take that championship thing anywhere you go.

Speaker 6 You could be social media famous, you could get all the things, we'll steer, you'll steal your car in Miami.

Speaker 6 But when you start throwing the four interceptions, the city will turn on you like you're a pro.

Speaker 6 Like, we know this team is good. This team is good.
Jeff Brom dared you to beat him. Dared you to beat him.
Like, wasn't going to let his quarterback beat him. Dared you to beat him.

Speaker 6 Said no running game. Nope.
Go ahead, kid. And stand back there.
Stand back there for a while. Never, not pressured until the end of the game.

Speaker 6 And you're going to throw four picks because you keep throwing it down the field because you don't know. What is it? You're going to have us now.

Speaker 6 Do you think that we think that CJ Daniels and Tony aren't people who can get open on shallow routes?

Speaker 6 Like, he threw four interceptions, but I will say, Louisville made three great plays on four of those interceptions.

Speaker 6 Well, but I mean, does that

Speaker 6 not matter? There were no points off of that player.

Speaker 25 Yeah, but if you get, that's why they have turnover-worthy players.

Speaker 6 Miami was gifted a few things. Two bogus roughing the passer calls.
The game was gifted to them at the end.

Speaker 6 That fumble is like you almost did all of Braum's coaching, undid it with one fumble in a disaster scenario that gave the game right back to Miami.

Speaker 16 But they couldn't undo Mario's coaching.

Speaker 15 That was a great great tackle by that player.

Speaker 10 Putting his helmet on the ball.

Speaker 13 Like, that's just not totally right.

Speaker 6 I was told Mike crashed out on Twitter during the game.

Speaker 16 There were six tweets, and one of them after another was just more and more depressed.

Speaker 5 Miami is shell-shocked.

Speaker 16 Brahma's in his bag. Stadium PA is on drugs and not the good kind.
This is bad. That's the first tweet of the six, Dan.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 16 To where he ultimately blamed him for playing the conga.

Speaker 25 Biggest town of your life.

Speaker 10 I saw you criticize the crowd.

Speaker 26 The crowd was late arriving.

Speaker 25 That was a bad crowd. I mean, the student section is a disaster.

Speaker 25 I mean, for all the people like, for all the you didn't go to Miami crowd that's out there, the people that go to Miami support the program the least. It's revolting.

Speaker 25 And the PA has been in experience all season.

Speaker 11 What did I say?

Speaker 25 The game operations tried to do something new. First off, figure out a uniform level of sound.
No one heard the team come out. You do this whole in-the-air tonight thing.
Volume was so muted.

Speaker 23 That must be why they lost.

Speaker 25 You didn't set it.

Speaker 25 It's getting to the point where I think like Mario Cristobal should say something to Game Ops because they did, all right, the fake field goal that everyone knew was coming except for Miami.

Speaker 25 That was a perfect chance to take because if you're short, you still get the first down. PA is like, first down, Miami, after it was ruled, it was short of a.

Speaker 15 Can't do that, Dan.

Speaker 5 You gotta know.

Speaker 11 Can't do that.

Speaker 6 And Miami players were celebrating as if they stopped him short of the goal line when they got the first down.

Speaker 11 What is there?

Speaker 6 Mike, was this a new PA guy?

Speaker 25 It's the same PA guy, although he's been bad. Like sometimes he's been getting our players wrong.
There was, they tried something new when Carson Beck ran out.

Speaker 25 It's like now leading the team, Carson Beck. And you're like, what is this? This sounds a whack.
There was one time where we almost got an interception and the PA is like, that was a close one.

Speaker 25 It was just like cheesy and corny. And I know DJ Volume gets a lot of crap.
Playing the conga before like the biggest third down of the game.

Speaker 11 No, you set up your life.

Speaker 25 Yeah, like that's not DJ volume making that call. It's game ops.
Let me fire up this crowd with Konga. We're not supposed to be this family-friendly atmosphere.

Speaker 25 You can tow a line between letting kids make sure they're safe here and playing some music that gets people pumped up. I mean, we're doing sweet Caroline at these games.
We're playing Black Eyed Peas.

Speaker 26 What the hell are we doing?

Speaker 20 I do think it's fair to say that when you win five games in a row, nobody gives a shit about the PA

Speaker 20 or what's being said. Not true.

Speaker 25 People are angry at the in-game presentation. They've been going at a DJ, perhaps some unfairly, to the point that the DJ is putting out notepads, like, I'm sorry, it's my bosses.
There's game ops.

Speaker 25 I'm not playing all these songs. It's been a thing.

Speaker 6 And to be fair,

Speaker 6 nobody likes a PA who editorializes.

Speaker 26 Just tell us

Speaker 6 who caught, who didn't catch. That's a gift.

Speaker 6 There's a skill to this. There's an energy in a crowd.
I miss Jay Rokic.

Speaker 16 Mike, I mean, God, if the PA keeps playing like that, I mean, you got to be worried. You got a home game against Stanford coming up.
That's going to be a little bit nerve-wracking.

Speaker 3 They just pull off a big conference win.

Speaker 23 Then you travel to SI.

Speaker 13 I don't like what you're doing.

Speaker 11 I mean, then it's home against Stanford. I don't like it.
What's with your little dickish voice?

Speaker 15 What's with your little dickish voice?

Speaker 11 That's his dickish voice. Is his voice literally? You're going to go to Blacksburg.
Blacksburg and win a game? No, no. Nobody goes into Blacksburg and wins a game.
Not in Virginia. Dickish hits.

Speaker 11 Hey, I don't care where they're at. Are we having

Speaker 11 at the end of the year?

Speaker 26 You've got to be nervous. You're not going to make it.

Speaker 6 Try a grown-up voice.

Speaker 11 Dickish.

Speaker 35 I need your support.
