Local Hour: Chuckle F*** Joins The Show (feat. Chuckle F***)

Speaker 1 All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka. Chris Cody, you're with me here.

Speaker 3 Smirnoff!

Speaker 1 Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff. Spinoff.
I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff. Not your favorite game day drink.
What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff.

Speaker 1 All right, here's the deal: game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.
Spirit off.

Speaker 1 Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff! Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 1 They've been doing it since 1864, which is, I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time.
It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award-winning.

Speaker 1 They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together. So yeah, we do game days.

Speaker 2 That's their thing.

Speaker 1 And if you're over 21, you should too.

Speaker 7 Why, Chris? Smearing off.

Speaker 1 Grab a bottle of Smearinoff at your local retailer and head to Smearinoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Smearing off! Please drink responsibly.
Smearing off.

Speaker 1 Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume, the Smearin' Off Company.

Speaker 9 New York, New York.

Speaker 1 Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. Smearing off.

Speaker 15 Black Friday game day is coming to prime and it'll be an epic day of live sports. Black Friday football is at the center of it with the Chicago Bears taking on the Philadelphia Eagles at 3 p.m.

Speaker 15 Eastern. That's followed by the final night of the Emirates Cup NBA group play and a doubleheader starting with the Bucks and Knicks at 7 p.m.
and the Mavericks and Lakers at 10 p.m.

Speaker 15 What a nightcap game that is. But the whole day starts with the return of the Capital One Skins game as four elite PGA golfers face off with $4 million on the line.

Speaker 15 Black Friday game day tees off with Capital One Skins game at 9 a.m. Eastern before the Big Bears Eagles game at 3 p.m.

Speaker 15 And it culminates with the double dose of Emirates NBA Cup action, featuring Bucks Knicks at 7 p.m. and Mavs Lakers at 10 p.m.
Only on Prime.

Speaker 18 Is Craig Minervini a local legend?

Speaker 19 Ooh.

Speaker 20 He's been around a long time.

Speaker 21 Yes.

Speaker 3 Whoa. Yes.

Speaker 17 That one's not even close.

Speaker 20 He's been around a long time.

Speaker 21 He might be first ballot.

Speaker 3 First ballot?

Speaker 23 He is the pre- and post-game host for multiple teams in this market.

Speaker 1 NBC TV for a little while.

Speaker 26 Who can forget Craig DeGeorges?

Speaker 18 He was for a while as a wrestling announcer. He went by the pseudonym Craig DeGeorges.
That's a great call by you. Tommy Tig.

Speaker 20 Tommy Tig.

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 6 That was a swore of you. You didn't think I was going to go in that direction.

Speaker 27 He can confirm you threw trash on me that day.

Speaker 18 OJ McDuffie.

Speaker 28 Yes. Mr.
Third down.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 15 Mr. Quarterdeck in Davey.

Speaker 6 Once set the dolphin record for receptions.

Speaker 28 Yes. Wait.

Speaker 22 He beat you for that title?

Speaker 3 I know.

Speaker 15 That is my quarterdeck right near the Panthers arena, but I see. It's got to the point where I'm not impressed by OJ McDuffie anymore.
I see him there so much.

Speaker 7 Did you have a ladder match to settle this?

Speaker 15 Oh, there was a time, though, when every time I'd see him, I'd be like, hey, there's OJ McDuffie.

Speaker 25 But now it's just so regular.

Speaker 17 I mean, just we fist bump.

Speaker 6 I produced Craig Minervini's radio show as my first job in local radio.

Speaker 21 I would call you for midday trivia.

Speaker 18 Mini in the middays.

Speaker 18 Toast.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 31 What?

Speaker 32 Well, yeah, he also worked on Paul and Ron for a long time.

Speaker 22 Zeta.

Speaker 18 Yeah. You're giving up.
You're giving it up.

Speaker 11 I'm giving it out like candy right now.

Speaker 25 I'm not comfortable with that.

Speaker 18 You're being lenient right now. Scott Pharrell.

Speaker 27 Do the right thing here, Zaz. Come on.

Speaker 3 No. What?

Speaker 3 Are you high?

Speaker 25 Miami, local legend?

Speaker 33 No.

Speaker 22 It was like not a long time that he was doing it down here.

Speaker 15 Are you just playing the game? Am I likely to run into this person?

Speaker 33 No. Maybe.
No.

Speaker 18 Well, Tommy Tig was unsurprising to me because I think that he was partners with Tommy Tig for

Speaker 18 a while. So, Gary Abar.

Speaker 7 Why did you laugh? Do you write?

Speaker 35 Why did you just laugh?

Speaker 7 Contributions to the game.

Speaker 30 The right thing.

Speaker 25 No.

Speaker 3 What?

Speaker 25 No. Again.

Speaker 8 What is wrong with you?

Speaker 36 They put sports writers in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 32 You can't.

Speaker 31 You can't put a local legend.

Speaker 6 Nobody knows you are.

Speaker 37 No, they know who he is. Legend of the game.

Speaker 22 He gets thanked at the end of every broadcast.

Speaker 7 Oh, please.

Speaker 18 Michelle Kaufman.

Speaker 18 Ooh.

Speaker 18 No.

Speaker 18 Man, you said... been here for a long time.

Speaker 6 No, I'm tougher than my standards a little bit.

Speaker 2 I don't know about all that.

Speaker 18 Jessica Blaylock.

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 17 Over Michelle Kaufman? Over Gary Abar?

Speaker 25 I mean, I love Jessica. You know Ball?

Speaker 3 You know Ball?

Speaker 40 I love Jessica Blaylock.

Speaker 41 Gary Abar is as solid as a

Speaker 41 saint.

Speaker 18 Come on, Michelle Kaufman has been saints market for as long as I remember.

Speaker 23 Well, if you lose connection on the ISDN, you're not calling Michelle Kaufman.

Speaker 3 We love Jessica around him.

Speaker 18 You're not calling Jessica Blaylock either.

Speaker 25 Exactly.

Speaker 22 You're calling one person and one person only. Maybe two.

Speaker 42 Where's the backup coupler Gary Abar?

Speaker 40 Andy Slater.

Speaker 18 Andy Slater.

Speaker 20 No.

Speaker 40 Mediein legend.

Speaker 18 Kelly Sako.

Speaker 20 No.

Speaker 18 Damien Amendola.

Speaker 31 Damian Amendolara. Yeah.

Speaker 12 This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 31 All right, it's turkey time, Greg.

Speaker 43 Uh-oh.

Speaker 43 Cabo, cabble.

Speaker 43 You know, I never,

Speaker 44 never welcomed Aunt Bonnie's ham.

Speaker 45 Competing main dishes need to scram

Speaker 45 a social miscue.

Speaker 44 Cause my birds me maximum.

Speaker 44 Now I'm kicking off my shoes

Speaker 45 I gotta teach you cuz baby I'll be barefoot

Speaker 43 in the driveway

Speaker 43 An open garage door

Speaker 43 By the bushes

Speaker 44 Talk turkey to me.

Speaker 43 Yeah, baby.

Speaker 43 Talk turkey to me.

Speaker 43 Cabo, cabble.

Speaker 43 Cabo, cabo.

Speaker 43 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Speaker 43 Happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 18 The mailing it in continues in a way that's embarrassing. This is the most mailing-it-in day of the entire calendar year.
Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show.

Speaker 18 Is today the most mailing it in day of the entire calendar year I will say Jessica's joining us later in the show she texted me yesterday this is embarrassing what a meme did with weekend observation it's unbelievable what he did she has an f1 minute and a jess's internet minute for us later so she's not mailing it in i've got my hand in the dirt as a punishment throughout the show more what kind of dirt you got there more i don't know but somebody just asked me if i had a zen garden here like uh i was just asked my dad's gift from last year uh it is it's it's more sand than dirt but this is what they got me.

Speaker 31 It's definitely so annoying.

Speaker 18 I've got my hand in the dirt. It's going to be hard to type.
It's going to be hard to do the show.

Speaker 15 Or like hand on top of the show.

Speaker 18 What Amin did yesterday is wildly embarrassing. Miller Light should ask for a do-over.

Speaker 18 Miller Light, one of our best sponsors, should be offended that an employee of ours did something so lazy on mailing it in week.

Speaker 2 He shouldn't go that far with it.

Speaker 18 No, he should offer a public apology. That's how far I should go because that was such a lack of effort.
It truly honored Stugat. Like it honored him in the most artistic of ways.

Speaker 18 I've got five football topics that I want to get to, including Dominique Foxworth saying the Colts have a quarterback problem.

Speaker 18 But I can't get to any of them because I need to know if Jonathan Zaszlo believes that the sports brothers are local legends.

Speaker 40 Ooh.

Speaker 30 Wow, what a pull.

Speaker 15 Say this one for video.

Speaker 47 Good deep cut.

Speaker 20 No.

Speaker 18 Dos Amigos.

Speaker 30 No.

Speaker 18 What do you left? I sent a trend here with who Zaz thinks minorities legends and aren't legends in the market. Fellow Ramirez.

Speaker 27 Don't look at me. Look at me right now.
Don't shake your head.

Speaker 36 Look at me right now.

Speaker 27 We're going to have a problem, me and you.

Speaker 23 Just know that.

Speaker 27 We started the show. It's been three minutes.

Speaker 18 Don't do this. Fellow is a lot easier than Craig Minervini.

Speaker 7 Yes. Craig better.

Speaker 26 He's scared. He's just scared.

Speaker 18 He's playing scared. He doesn't even know anything about Fellow.

Speaker 27 I would jump through the entire glass right here like a missile to go get him.

Speaker 39 I don't know that fool. What?

Speaker 18 He broadcast into his 90s, I believe.

Speaker 15 Oh, the Marlins guy. Rest in peace.

Speaker 7 Failo.

Speaker 30 Jorge Sedano. No.

Speaker 31 He abandoned us.

Speaker 34 He abandoned us.

Speaker 25 Yesterday?

Speaker 7 Yeah. This is a slipping thing.
Jessica Blaylock is.

Speaker 48 I love Jessica.

Speaker 6 Jessica didn't abandon us.

Speaker 31 Sedano identifies now with L.A.

Speaker 17 That's not a local legend.

Speaker 18 The reason I bring all of this up is because Chuckle is going to join us. And I yesterday proclaimed Bob Washus in a local legend, and everyone yelled at me.
I thought he was a local legend.

Speaker 18 He's a really good broadcaster. He's at the top of the game.
He's doing some of the biggest events in sports, and he did a good chunk of his career here.

Speaker 18 Not a giant chunk, probably what, I'm going to say four years.

Speaker 31 That's a good chunk, four years.

Speaker 25 It was a blip.

Speaker 2 It's an incredibly small chunk.

Speaker 18 Did you not give any legendary status to any other people who had been here four years?

Speaker 18 Because you gave a lot of leeway to people who have been here 20. So let me ask you, Izzy Gutierrez, local legend, yes or no?

Speaker 5 yes

Speaker 18 Mark Haukman

Speaker 20 no

Speaker 7 I disagree what is wrong with Mark disagree what's wrong with you it's his it was his birthday this week give a shit what whoa

Speaker 18 whoa

Speaker 36 happy birthday to him

Speaker 3 I don't care

Speaker 18 good luck Ethan Skolnick

Speaker 18 controversial what's controversial Hawk's a legend, man.

Speaker 32 What are we doing?

Speaker 36 I'm a legend, but Hawks not?

Speaker 30 Hawk's a legend.

Speaker 32 A drive-time legend.

Speaker 36 He can do whatever he wants with his legendary status.

Speaker 37 Oh, yeah, I see your agenda.

Speaker 20 No.

Speaker 36 What's my agenda?

Speaker 37 Yeah, you know.

Speaker 27 At least you got the hand in the dirt today.

Speaker 15 On top of the dirt.

Speaker 18 No?

Speaker 18 No.

Speaker 18 I'm shocked by the beefs that you are now soliciting throughout the sports world because of what it is that you're willing to do here. Ira Winderman.

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 18 Hal Habib.

Speaker 40 Oh, that.

Speaker 7 Why are you laughing?

Speaker 3 That tickles me.

Speaker 48 You can't, you can't.

Speaker 30 He was there for my dad's hit the ideal goal.

Speaker 10 Do you think a lot of people are tuning into the podcast today and being like, all right, not a good one today.

Speaker 34 Mailing it in a day.

Speaker 21 Listening, Greg McElroy.

Speaker 18 There are certain days I do for South Florida.

Speaker 30 This is the local hour, though.

Speaker 37 You know what you're getting into.

Speaker 34 But there's very million. If only there were local topics.

Speaker 35 Yeah, I'm sure we won't get to them.

Speaker 34 No, no, I have a bold new strategy.

Speaker 1 I'm sure most of our audience is really, really just so upset that we're not getting another day of being pissed off at the College Football Playoff Committee. I'm sure they're.

Speaker 36 Jeremy, we're talking about Gary Airborne right now.

Speaker 37 Legend or not, I have a bold new strategy.

Speaker 31 I already said no, don't I?

Speaker 18 Brian the Beast London.

Speaker 15 Now that's me talking. You be careful.

Speaker 18 What do you mean? It's you talking.

Speaker 30 I love the beast.

Speaker 6 I'm going to say

Speaker 5 yes. Thank you.

Speaker 31 Everybody, you say beast, everybody knows that is.

Speaker 19 They do. She's not

Speaker 37 a great nickname.

Speaker 1 She's not Michelle Kaufman either.

Speaker 15 She needs a better nickname.

Speaker 18 Michelle Kaufman the cough.

Speaker 4 She doesn't.

Speaker 34 That's not a nice thing. She does not have a good nickname.

Speaker 46 Here comes the cough.

Speaker 25 That is not a nickname.

Speaker 25 Dude, I heard Michael Irvin.

Speaker 18 Would have been career-ending

Speaker 40 five years ago.

Speaker 18 The cough is a great nickname if you want to be remembered, a terrible nickname if you want to be remembered fondly.

Speaker 18 I have been told here, I don't know what's true, and we will get to the local stories in a moment, but I have been told

Speaker 18 that Jonathan Zaszlo, and he may have announced this at some point earlier in his career, but announced to his listeners on his podcast, the Zaszlo Show 2.0.

Speaker 6 There's no thoughts, just Zaslow Show 2.0.

Speaker 34 Drop the the

Speaker 43 whiff.

Speaker 18 The Zaszlo Show 2.0 is something you can get wherever it is you get your podcast.

Speaker 18 And I was informed that yesterday you revealed, perhaps for the first time, but maybe for the first time for both our audience and the people in this room, that there is only one circumstance under which you block.

Speaker 18 There is only one. Do any of you know what this is? There's only one thing that will make the affable and friendly Jonathan Zaszlo friend to all except for minorities who want local legendary status

Speaker 18 in the market.

Speaker 18 There's only one situation.

Speaker 11 Because I don't believe in blocking people.

Speaker 18 And well, except for this one thing you can do. Yeah.

Speaker 18 None of you know.

Speaker 18 If you send Zaslow any photos of spiders.

Speaker 20 Dude, I don't even like it.

Speaker 6 My toes are curling now.

Speaker 31 Don't play a joke on me right now. I'm telling you, it's not going to end well for anybody.

Speaker 18 We would not do that to you or around you. We would not surround you in an assortment of spiders, but I am just learning now.
South Florida, not a great place for you.

Speaker 18 But South Florida, not a great place for you.

Speaker 18 We've got to leave.

Speaker 30 Oh, my God.

Speaker 35 No, no.

Speaker 10 No, no.

Speaker 10 You've got to take it down. You got to take it down.

Speaker 18 We've got to lead the country in weird, swampy creatures

Speaker 18 that are scary. We must have a ton of spiders in South Florida.
I don't know how we measure these things based on climate, but what would be America's leader in spiders? Any guesses?

Speaker 6 I hear Australia is really bad.

Speaker 18 No, but America's leader. Yeah, Australia's spiders are.

Speaker 37 They're the ones that'll kill you.

Speaker 18 Those are giant big ones that would terrify anybody.

Speaker 23 It rains spiders in Australia. You're never more than eight feet away from a spider.

Speaker 36 Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show.

Speaker 40 Right now I am.

Speaker 18 Put it on the poll at Lebatard Show. Does it rain spiders in Australia? And are you ever eight feet away, more than eight feet away from any spider in the world? Yes or no? So this is legitimate.

Speaker 18 This is a fear for how long we're going to be.

Speaker 31 Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you, like, people, don't send me pictures because it's not even negotiable.

Speaker 6 Like, I'll block you, and I don't want to block you, but I'll block you, and then I'll never unblock you, and it's a whole thing.

Speaker 31 So just, like, don't send me pictures. I'm telling you, it's not a joke.

Speaker 18 All right. We will continue to see if they get me more and more spiders here because his body language is

Speaker 18 sir is this arachnophobia is that what it's is that what that's nailed it dano but are you are you're legitimate like does he now have we diagnosed him with arachnophobia because so it's super nice to just put a bunch of spiders this is so you we're wacky guys afraid of spiders it's not it's not a joke i'm telling you like if someone brought in a spider here it doesn't matter if we're friends like i i punch my way out of here we should have the thing where ron brings the animals

Speaker 17 just brings mad spiders instead of animals

Speaker 19 it ends with me punching my way out out.

Speaker 28 I'm halfway through spitting chiclets.

Speaker 18 Stugat

Speaker 18 has called 911 on a frog. He was terrified and behaved that way around Ron McGill when he came in with an assortment of spiders.

Speaker 18 Having just learned this, I will figure out what to do with it in coming days and weeks.

Speaker 23 You got to take it down. You got to take it down.

Speaker 18 You got to take the picture down.

Speaker 15 Look how many eyes it has.

Speaker 25 Yeah, it's a big one.

Speaker 30 That's a big one. More eyes or legs?

Speaker 18 You think in Australia they are as numb to their size spiders as we can be in this town because of the amount of spiders that we have in this town? Like that they're numb to it the same way.

Speaker 18 A giant spider in a saloon.

Speaker 7 They can open up their toilets.

Speaker 42 There's a crocodile in it.

Speaker 17 They're grateful to see a spider.

Speaker 18 I believe that's a stereotype that probably would offend Australia.

Speaker 23 Every video that I've seen of a snake in a toilet

Speaker 34 comes from Australia.

Speaker 36 I can understand it.

Speaker 7 And they're venomous.

Speaker 34 Down under.

Speaker 23 There was one video that I was seeing where it was like a a huge boa constrictor that collapsed a roof.

Speaker 32 And the guy's like, man, it's brakes, then the brakes.

Speaker 7 They say it just like that.

Speaker 36 Yeah, just like that.

Speaker 18 Bam, then the brakes. Put it on the poll at Lebatard show.
Are there crocodiles in the toilets in Australia as we continue to stereotype these people?

Speaker 18 Chris, do you have anything more from the Thanksgiving file that we have to dump out here? Because I want to get to a bunch of things today, and I don't want to mail in today's show.

Speaker 18 So just do me the favor of getting me the useless sound montage, getting me also Big Mac, because you have a Big Mac, another,

Speaker 18 this is like a weekly segment now where we go to Doc Master Big Mac here, who lets everyone into the luxury else or nobody gets past him unless Big Mac says you can get past him.

Speaker 18 What are Big Mac's thoughts this holiday season about the Dolphins? I'm assuming it's always the Dolphins.

Speaker 1 No, Dan, usually it's the Dolphins.

Speaker 17 Today, hey, day before Thanksgiving, we're getting Big Mac's take on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 9 Big Mac Take of the Day.

Speaker 52 Happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 15 What do you think of turkey?

Speaker 26 Turkey? No, I love turkey. I love turkey.
I want I got turkey. I liked ham.
Yeah. And collard greens, mac and cheese.

Speaker 25 You already know.

Speaker 52 Big Mac's take of the day.

Speaker 18 Mailing it in,

Speaker 18 the work of Chris Cody.

Speaker 27 I mean, turkey, ham, got collar greens, got mac and cheese.

Speaker 37 You already know right there.

Speaker 18 Yeah, Zanzilo, this time at least, you stayed for the duration of the interview as opposed to walking away.

Speaker 27 I was walking with Chris yesterday. He walked away from Mac and he was still talking.
I had to look back.

Speaker 15 Have you guys ever not done a stop and chat?

Speaker 42 You chat for 10 seconds?

Speaker 8 You keep it moving.

Speaker 17 Like, what am I supposed to sit there for 40 minutes?

Speaker 3 Whoa.

Speaker 18 Just while you're taping content, Sabi is on the part of my tape.

Speaker 17 What does he got to say?

Speaker 29 I mean, he's in the best picture of the year, in my opinion.

Speaker 37 Lagonia.

Speaker 1 I have an update on the crocodiles in the Australian toilets.

Speaker 7 Per Google AI, per Google AI, they do not have crocodiles in toilets.

Speaker 1 But when I went to Reddit, Ask in Australian, there is someone who says that they have butt plug dispensers in most public toilets here in Australia.

Speaker 1 Just put one up your butt, it'll stop them from calling in. They're biodegradable.
So, of course, what did I do after that? I Googled Australian butt plug dispenser on our work computer.

Speaker 1 You're at work. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that's real.
Just a comment on Reddit ask in Australian. Back to you, Dan.

Speaker 18 So, you just broke into programming with a comment on Reddit that were butt plug dispensers.

Speaker 1 No less real than any of the Google AI shit we've been telling you for the last year and a half.

Speaker 18 This sound right here is indeed real off of your NFL football. It's the useless sound montage.

Speaker 18 And I am told, I am told, just in time for this time of year, they're built ram tough, and I think you should fear them if you are anybody who plays football in the universe.

Speaker 18 And I'm told that Sean McVay is the star of the useless sound montage and a rising star in general in providing useless, the most useless of sound.

Speaker 54 Gravy on a biscuit.

Speaker 53 I like that, Nick. I thought he was game.
He always is. I asked him what week it was, and everybody said it doesn't matter.

Speaker 55 Nobody wants to talk about numbers and records. That doesn't mean

Speaker 28 guys, it just keeps showing up, man.

Speaker 16 You can be down 21-0, nothing and you just keep playing talk about resilience toughness staying together guys having each other's backs keep playing give credit to that team man they uh played hard threw the kitchen sink at us you're not gonna come to lambeau field and win a game it was like three yards in a cloud of dust we talk about playing clean and we really gave them two balls there

Speaker 9 we were able to get it in there this team has fun and good football is fun and when you're doing it with good people that you don't want to let down that's really fun we'll get some reinforcements back at some point but until then we got to hold down the fort i thought a defense could have smiled in the face of adversity better.

Speaker 55 You know me I kind of call plays for players.

Speaker 49 You get a hat on a hat and he's going to find it. Pissed off.

Speaker 59 We got a bad taste in our mouth the last two weeks and we should be.

Speaker 60 He's not in the perfect shape.

Speaker 55 You don't play teams records in this league.

Speaker 54 There's always improvements to be made by our players and some you can see, some you can't see.

Speaker 53 Any number of plays could have changed the outcome of the game and that's why we just got to live every down singularly.

Speaker 55 It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was, I would say, just enough.

Speaker 16 Golden, you can enjoy it for a couple hours, but really today's Wednesday in our world.

Speaker 58 This is the NFL, so this is what happens when you play a 17-game season. There's no silver lining in losing.

Speaker 56 You always feel multiple emotions after a game, but winning is what matters.

Speaker 53 I'll take that win.

Speaker 49 That's a good win.

Speaker 55 You can't win the game in the first quarter, second, third, but you win the game in the fourth quarter, man.

Speaker 9 The one positive on that was the guys kept kept going, kept punching. And let's stay humble.
Let's stay in the moment. Let's continue to lean into our preparation.

Speaker 57 Donovan Jackson, I believe, also had an ankle and a foot. Ultimately, didn't do enough all three phases to win the game.

Speaker 56 We're not going to apologize for winning around here.

Speaker 53 It's tight when it's good on good, particularly when you're in a hostile environment.

Speaker 9 It's just like anything else. He's a fine wine.
He's just getting better with age. Yeah, you like that one?

Speaker 59 Everything we need to do is right in front of us, but we got a lot of work to do.

Speaker 49 I mean, this guy's going to the house, and he's got the juice to make it happen.

Speaker 57 A couple plays away from winning our game.

Speaker 9 We all know that humility is only a week or a day away.

Speaker 50 Well, the fight, I mean, it is what it is.

Speaker 34 We're...

Speaker 34 We don't want to...

Speaker 60 We don't appreciate losing. Yeah, I didn't know it's 30, but that is what...
But he...

Speaker 53 I'll talk to you guys about next week. Next week, I'm here to analyze what just transpired.

Speaker 56 It did feel like quite a while, you know. I mean, I saw him drifting in the pocket.

Speaker 53 I'm like, get him, get him. Because if you can't make it on fourth down and one, man, oftentimes you don't deserve to win.

Speaker 9 The only thing that would matter is if the season ended right now. What a job by Ethan.
I thought Ethan did a great job on those.

Speaker 53 Wait a second. I'm with that, actually.
I like that a lot.

Speaker 28 Ethan edited that.

Speaker 18 I was about to compliment him on a job well done until that dismount where he inserted himself.

Speaker 53 He

Speaker 18 inserted himself i was about to give him the rarest of things around here a genuine compliment for having a good ear for what sound is most useless and why the sound is useless he did a great job mcvey is a good press conference to rummage around you'll find 40 things in every time that mcvey talks and ethan like mcve didn't say it the way ethan said you can hear how harsh the editor is a terrible edit like i was really gonna before the last part of that okay on mail-in-in day of of the calendar, I was about to give

Speaker 18 an employee, yes, right before Thanksgiving, I was about to give thanks for him learning.

Speaker 18 It took long enough, and his dog is shitting enough places around here for him to learn the musical notes required for useless to be most useless until he screwed it up at the end by using a shitty AI version of Sean McVay thanking him for that edit.

Speaker 9 What a job by Ethan. I thought Ethan did a great job on those.

Speaker 60 That was a bad edit.

Speaker 4 Like very harsh.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Just asinine the way he tries to sneak into the show.

Speaker 18 We've got to get a standard around here that gets protected.

Speaker 30 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 31 I've never stepped foot on that campus. If you told me right now your life depends on it, go to Santa Fe University and just take a picture.

Speaker 8 Stugats. I would die.
I don't know where it is.

Speaker 63 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 18 Zaszlo is legitimately uncomfortable. I didn't actually

Speaker 18 have so much anxiety. I didn't even realize.
I didn't realize that he's not doing a bit, that he has diagnosable anacrophobia. So

Speaker 46 arachna. Arachnophobia.
Damien.

Speaker 19 I know who that is.

Speaker 18 I'm sorry to him. I'm sorry to Zaslow and Damian Amendola.

Speaker 18 The thing that I wanted to talk about with last night's wet sock comes out and explains why Miami is now ahead of Utah, why Miami is number 12, more than any of the minutiae involved with the stupidity of this month-long argument, which is just the way to sell college football in the middle of the week on a Wednesday, if you don't want to be talking about what

Speaker 18 eastern Michigan and Western Michigan were doing last night.

Speaker 43 The

Speaker 18 polls have Miami at 12, they have jumped Utah now, and now, because they're making it up as they go along, they're saying that Miami and Notre Dame is indeed in a tier where they can be discussed with each other.

Speaker 18 Same tier?

Speaker 18 But the stupidity of yesterday was this to me.

Speaker 18 After installing this wet sock to be the public face and voice of these stupid explanations, replacing the previous

Speaker 18 less wet sock

Speaker 18 that was the voice for this. They clearly gave this overmatched person whose name I will not care to remember because of what a hood ornament he is on this stupidity.

Speaker 18 They clearly gave him the coaching of make a 6'7 joke. Make a 6'7 joke.
Yeah, you'll kill him. Look, just get in there and you'll be really on the cutting edge.

Speaker 18 You'll reach the children if you make a 6'7 joke. So So here he is.
They've given him the coaching. Look how poorly this car salesman does this.

Speaker 65 But it was a change at 6'7 with Oregon and Ole Miss swapping spots.

Speaker 14 How much of an impact potentially could it be on Ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field?

Speaker 66 6'7.

Speaker 62 But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion.

Speaker 18 Hold on, bring that back. I want everyone to watch this with me and just look across his face.
He asked me the 6'7 question.

Speaker 47 I'm ready for this.

Speaker 18 They coached me up on this. I got the producers.
Watch his face. It streaks across his face.

Speaker 18 This is where I get to make the big joke that kills and show them that I'm a less wet sock than they think I am.

Speaker 65 But it was a change at 6'7 with Oregon and Ole Miss

Speaker 65 swapping spots.

Speaker 14 How much of an impact potentially could it be on Ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field?

Speaker 66 Six, seven.

Speaker 62 But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion.

Speaker 31 He laid out for Reese Davis to laugh.

Speaker 18 He called him Rich Davis.

Speaker 25 Rich Davis.

Speaker 18 He called him Rich.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Listen to the whole thing.

Speaker 25 Well, I was too stunned with what was taking.

Speaker 7 It was after, but seriously, like any great comic.

Speaker 18 Guys, watch his face. The smirk.

Speaker 18 He's got so much time to deliver this, and he knows it.

Speaker 18 And he's like, this is the pitch i've been waiting for since they installed me as as the puppet in this position to make these dumbass arguments every week but there was a change at 6-7 with oregon and ole miss swapping spots how much of an impact potentially could it be on ole miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field

Speaker 66 6'7

Speaker 62 but seriously rich we we didn't have any discussion

Speaker 18 shit. They coached him up on 6'7 and the butt seriously, but he blew it on the rich.
He was almost there. He almost got to the finish line.

Speaker 63 I think he was almost there.

Speaker 32 Yeah.

Speaker 25 Flawless execution to that point.

Speaker 18 Well, he thought he did. Look at he had time to prep for that.

Speaker 27 Dan, that's why you work smaller clubs before you really hit the big venues to do your hours so you can kind of fix those kinks.

Speaker 32 Throw him right into a stadium.

Speaker 34 I don't think he was coached.

Speaker 5 I really don't.

Speaker 1 I think that this is a guy who either has a kid, a nephew, somebody who he's seen do the 6'7 jokes all the time. And

Speaker 12 when he hears Rich specifically say 6'7,

Speaker 1 it puts him in a position where he goes, hmm, I bet I can make a joke here. That's why the long pause, because he's waiting to see whether or not it landed.

Speaker 1 And then he's so nervous that that's why he calls him Rick.

Speaker 6 No,

Speaker 6 you're so off base here, Jeremy.

Speaker 6 You did the same thing.

Speaker 31 When did I do the same thing?

Speaker 12 When you killed the 6'7 joke.

Speaker 66 6'7.

Speaker 31 Oh, my God.

Speaker 31 I think, by the way, I think Reese Davis was set up to say.

Speaker 8 Like, that's what I mean. The way that you're saying.

Speaker 41 No reason.

Speaker 31 Why would you say there was a change 6'7?

Speaker 47 Nobody talks like that.

Speaker 36 Reese was trying to go viral.

Speaker 25 Right. You would get dunked off.

Speaker 31 You would say there was a change with a 6-7 spots. That's what you would say.
You don't say there's a change 6'7.

Speaker 31 So I... I think

Speaker 31 Wet Sock was told, hey, we're going to make a joke here and we're going to pass it along to Reese Davis.

Speaker 18 So he's going to tee you up on your journey. Wet sock is a great insult for someone who lacks charisma.

Speaker 18 Jeremy, I am a little stunned after Zaslow came after Tony the way that he did yesterday with you're high, you're out to lunch.

Speaker 27 I played myself.

Speaker 18 You played yourself.

Speaker 27 Which I took offense to, by the way.

Speaker 18 Yes, Adam Silver doing nothing.

Speaker 30 Ben Stiller, you're a little bit of a fairy.

Speaker 18 Ben Stiller looking like a fool. He just hit Jeremy with you're embarrassing yourself.

Speaker 6 I'm sorry. I mean to be mean, but like somebody had to say it.

Speaker 1 You take back the embarrassing yourself?

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 18 So why are you apologizing? Why are you saying I'm sorry?

Speaker 25 Because it was mean.

Speaker 18 Okay, but you had to say it. I'm used to it.

Speaker 31 Yeah, I had to say the mean thing. And I apologize for saying the mean thing.

Speaker 18 Zaszlo is brave. Zaszlo is, he's the only one in the country I've heard with this take, and he's doing it strongly.

Speaker 18 And let's get the graphic we now have for Zaszlo because Zaszlo had a big victory yesterday.

Speaker 18 The fact, Tony, you're shaking your head. No, yes, the Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 18 No, look, you get the same suspension in football if you spit on a dude's face as you do if you punch him in the groin with a cast.

Speaker 18 On behalf of Zaszlo and general decorum, the NFL did the proper thing and suspended a criminal who should be charged with felonious Crimes.

Speaker 15 This is so like the fact that people who like punching in football are at zero. That's not true for weeks

Speaker 18 ran up the score get a 500 almost every week most recently this week if we started the scoring on Monday night

Speaker 18 Saszlo's up one nothing today

Speaker 31 the NFL has turned a blind eye to an epidemic in their sport and finally finally so the finally you got a point yet the count starts now because this is a precedent.

Speaker 31 Let's see what happens now moving forward. This is a precedent that has finally been set.
It has been acknowledged. And that is when the ball is 10 yards away, you don't just get to punch people.

Speaker 31 That player has now been suspended.

Speaker 27 All right. I agree with you, but that's not your argument.
Your argument is you shouldn't be able to punch the football.

Speaker 41 No, no, no, no. That's my piece with you.

Speaker 31 That's not my argument. I've specifically said that is not, that I am okay if you punch the punch people punches all the time.
If you punch, no, but that's because after the play.

Speaker 31 If you punch the football, that's fine. But if you punch the football and miss, that's not allowed.
That's what I've been saying, Tony. So punch at your own discretion.

Speaker 51 Chris Canty's on with Kevin Clark.

Speaker 18 A game suspension is a serious thing in the NFL. If they give you one 17th of the paychecks they're taking away, you saw Jamar Chase went from lying in the locker room to, I'm so sorry and wrong.

Speaker 18 I'm so very wrong that I spit in Jalen Ramsey's face. These are now equivalent crimes, and this is a victory for Zaszlo.
Zaszlo, seeing this punished this way, wait a minute.

Speaker 18 You guys are going to both shake your heads at this?

Speaker 27 Yes. Yes, 100%.
Because I get what he's saying. But that's more closer to punching after the play than an actual punching of a football because that was not a football play.
The ball was behind him.

Speaker 27 He wasn't going for the ball. He was just clearly trying to get even with Jawan Jennings or get one up on Juwan Jennings.

Speaker 27 That happened a couple weeks ago where there was a guy, I think, for the 49ers or for the Bucs that threw a jab at somebody, and I think it like hit an official.

Speaker 31 And it looks like we're and we're finally putting an end to this next year.

Speaker 18 All right, Zaslow may indeed be afraid of spiders, but he's showing real bravery here.

Speaker 30 Real bravery. Brave, please.

Speaker 18 I also thought Mike Ryan

Speaker 18 was brave yesterday in terms of spewing UM propaganda everywhere and in his righteous rage, taking out shit-stirring Joey Galloway, who he called out by name, Bob Washusin, who I said is a local legend, and you guys disputed that he's a local legend.

Speaker 18 I'm saying that this man is a local legend. You guys called him Chuckle,

Speaker 18 and then you accused Lou Riddick of being his co-conspirator. So, Mike,

Speaker 18 the whole thing is yours here.

Speaker 23 You think I'm afraid to tell Chuckle f to his face what he did?

Speaker 32 Chuckle f knows. All right.

Speaker 33 He knows what he did.

Speaker 42 I texted Chuckle f as a broadcast was going on.

Speaker 37 Hey, Chuckle f, what are we doing over here?

Speaker 33 And then, Lou Riddick, with the nerve, the temerity to go to social media afterwards and say, oh, no, guys, I think head-to-head should matter.

Speaker 38 Well, it would have been nice to hear that on the broadcast as you carried water. How did those microphones survive with all the water you were spilling?

Speaker 22 Carrying it for the ACC and the CFP.

Speaker 37 What were you doing out there?

Speaker 18 his nostrils are flaring he seems enraged he doesn't think this is funny as you hello chuckles

Speaker 10 i'm sorry mr

Speaker 23 i believe you're the voice of hockey you know how much i respect and admire you i've drank i've had a beer with your face on it and you know i love you pop but that was bad what you did over the weekend you need to make it rest you know you know i could have i heard everything you said before that

Speaker 43 Yep.

Speaker 67 Right? Like I heard the whole lead-in, not just the whole thing.

Speaker 67 Yep.

Speaker 40 Good.

Speaker 22 I mean, I'm courageous.

Speaker 42 What do you want me to say? It's one of my strong suits. Everyone's a good.

Speaker 64 Wow, I'll break it.

Speaker 67 By the way, I don't know who's in charge of fonting the show. Have I been fonted correctly? I can't see.
I'd like the full nickname because the nickname is just, it's a chef's kiss.

Speaker 67 It really encapsulates me.

Speaker 64 So I'd like that on there.

Speaker 18 I've never thought of you as chuckle.

Speaker 18 You are a serious person who can do levity, but really respects the craft.

Speaker 18 So when he accuses you of chuckle f ⁇ ery, I'm a little bit surprised because I find you to be, you know, a standard-bearer for your industry.

Speaker 67 I appreciate you saying that. I mean, I've known you for like 30 years, and I've known a lot of these guys on this show through our mutual love of hockey for a while.

Speaker 67 This is the first time I've been asked on this show, and it's to let Mike Ryan yell at me. So I'm not really sure that that's nice.

Speaker 67 But I'm willing, you can yell at me. No, but no, but

Speaker 18 what would be your rebuttal to what he's saying as someone who was in this market, working in this market for how many years, Bob?

Speaker 67 About three and a half.

Speaker 18 Okay. And

Speaker 18 during that time, during that time, that's why Zaslow will not call you a local legend.

Speaker 43 He's right.

Speaker 25 He says it's not long enough.

Speaker 36 Yeah, New York legend. Yes.

Speaker 27 I don't care about New York.

Speaker 18 But during that time, you saw enough, I think, of what happens around the University of Miami to at least think that what he's accusing you of there, you've heard it before in this market.

Speaker 18 Local broadcaster who goes up to national fame, does the UM game, is now chuckling at UM's scenario when UM's about to get bleeped by these wet socks who run the NCAA.

Speaker 67 Yeah, like my answer to all of this is it's not my system. We're just reacting to the system as the system is.

Speaker 67 So like we could do a broadcast where we yell and scream for three hours about how Miami's getting screwed. Yes.
And it would be like a South Florida sports radio broadcast. We could take calls.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 I may have to play.

Speaker 64 I like that.

Speaker 9 Do you want to come on and talk about

Speaker 9 it?

Speaker 31 We can do that.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 32 I mean, it's only right since you guys were off the other end, on the opposite end of the spectrum. No, we were.

Speaker 40 Yes, you were.

Speaker 67 We put up a full screen comparing Miami and Notre Dame and their resumes. We talked about the fact that Miami beat Notre Dame head to head.
Most people don't know this.

Speaker 67 We also lived in the world that we had to live in on Saturday, which was, and this is, again, it's not my system. I don't agree with the system.
I wouldn't have this system.

Speaker 67 But the system is they have to be in this like three-team pod with Notre Dame to be discussed, to have the head-to-head take into account. Okay, how do they get into that three-team pod?

Speaker 64 They're in the pod with Notre Dame.

Speaker 67 The only mechanism they have to get into that discussion with Notre Dame is to rack up style points and win convincingly.

Speaker 67 And they're playing a team that's below 500 that fired their coach three weeks into the season because they got drilled at home by old Dominion and now they're only winning by 10 in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 67 Like they needed to win that game very impressively to move up. We wanted them to win the game impressively.
So they would move up to be in a pod with Notre Dame.

Speaker 23 I hear you, but it doesn't seem to matter when Notre Dame is up 10-7 on NC State or just up two points against BC, who has one win.

Speaker 67 I didn't do those games.

Speaker 40 I understand, Bob.

Speaker 18 Bob, you're doing great.

Speaker 37 Right now, and I agree with everything that you're saying. But according to the CFP, they did get moved up to the same tier.

Speaker 38 They were directly compared.

Speaker 23 And the CFP has just decided this year, they're not going to count head-to-head as a primary tiebreaker.

Speaker 32 This is wrong.

Speaker 64 It's an especially expensive. I agree with that.

Speaker 67 But the way it was explained to me was it's a three-team pod, and they were like four or five teams separate, right? So you couldn't,

Speaker 67 like the head of the CFP himself said, if they get into that. like kind of three-team pod discussion, then we will take the head-to-head much more into account, which believe me, to me is ridiculous.

Speaker 67 Yes, if they beat Notre Dame, I would think that they would be ranked ahead of Notre Dame. And I think it's ridiculous to say it was the first game of the season.
Like those games don't count.

Speaker 36 I like this. You feel it too.

Speaker 67 I'm 100% on board with that.

Speaker 67 The other thing, and we talked to Mario Cristobal about this, what is the message that the committee is sending to a team like Miami, who schedules Notre Dame, who schedules Florida, who schedules USF, who's turned into a ranked team?

Speaker 67 Like, why not play four Bethune Cookmans and just warm up for your conference season if if you're not going to get credit?

Speaker 67 Well, you don't get credit for those wins just because they're at the start of the season? I'm with all of that. But this is my talk show host coming out and me.

Speaker 39 Oh, I miss him.

Speaker 25 That's why you're a local legend.

Speaker 18 Sir, sir, sir, I dare say, I dare say, and this is a compliment, though it may sound like an insult, that Bob Washusin was better at sports radio than he is at even play-by-play.

Speaker 7 He's the best hockey play-by-play.

Speaker 18 This is no slight on his play-by-play.

Speaker 36 You just watch it on mute.

Speaker 18 Nope.

Speaker 18 You guys don't know young Washusin as a sports radio host.

Speaker 18 The arguments that this man would make that he now mutes on television on behalf of the public that snowflakes that doesn't want opinions with their play-by-play guy.

Speaker 18 Bob, yes or no, Bob, if you had chosen that as the path, you would have been better for, if you'd done 30 years of that instead of play-by-play, you would have been better as a sports radio talk show host than you are at play-by-play.

Speaker 67 I mean, I like yelling at people.

Speaker 47 I enjoy that. And you're annoyed.

Speaker 18 You came in spicy. Like, you came in spicy.

Speaker 36 I mean, I do have to.

Speaker 37 I mean, we we yelled at him.

Speaker 22 I mean, Bob's like, all right, Mike, we're friendly, but we're not that friendly.

Speaker 67 We're friendly enough. We're like, to me, again, I should be fonted right now with the nickname.
Like, to me, the nickname is, it encapsulates me.

Speaker 64 Our video team is trying to keep perfect.

Speaker 15 Our video team is trying to keep up with all the F-words.

Speaker 30 Don Lebatard. Glory is Captain Sloppy.

Speaker 8 Stugats.

Speaker 18 Is this Chumbucket?

Speaker 63 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 18 I love that so far during this conversation, Bob has complained that we haven't had him on, even though we've known him for as long as this show has been on.

Speaker 18 And also that Chuckle is sort of the opposite of what his public persona is.

Speaker 18 Like what you're doing there is disrespectful, saying that he's on the broadcast, not treating it professionally because he doesn't agree with your opinion.

Speaker 28 Whoa, no, he was doing a great job for the CFP.

Speaker 41 I think the CFP gave him eight pluses across the board.

Speaker 37 He did great.

Speaker 29 They went in with an established narrative, and he and Lou hammered it home.

Speaker 23 Miami's got to win this game at Blacksburg by more points than they've ever won in this town.

Speaker 38 Because every time in my adult life, I'm thrilled to win a game in that town by three scores, but I can't enjoy the game because I'm like, we got to put up 50 on them.

Speaker 30 They're three and seven.

Speaker 67 Mike, Mario Cristobal knew he had to win that game by more.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 67 It's 25 seconds to go in the game and a starting quarterback throwing passes on fourth down into the end zone to his best wide.

Speaker 23 I've heard that, but it was also, it was a big fourth and two play, and they needed to get that first down to seal the game. And they just decided to throw it into the end zone.

Speaker 29 That checked two boxes for them.

Speaker 22 But everyone's like, they called a timeout just to run it up.

Speaker 23 Like they were also trying to salt that game away.

Speaker 48 Virginia Tech gets the ball back if they don't get that fourth down.

Speaker 67 They were up 10 with 25 seconds to go.

Speaker 48 Hey, that's plenty of time.

Speaker 37 That beamer ball, are are you not familiar?

Speaker 25 They got an onside kick earlier.

Speaker 38 Game's still in the balance, Bob.

Speaker 38 But I hear you, and I understand.

Speaker 38 My lament is that.

Speaker 67 Why did you not score 70?

Speaker 37 I mean, they're not.

Speaker 19 Why did they look across anywhere else?

Speaker 67 Do you think Marcus Freeman wants to run out to midfield and shake Fran Brown's hand after scoring 70 points on him? No. Like, what do you think he's saying at midfield? Man, I'm sorry.
It's just.

Speaker 67 Like, this is the system. It's not my system.
We had to do this. I apologize.
Right? Oh, nice fun. See, that's exactly what I voted on.

Speaker 29 And you and I are in agreement that it's not right, that everyone's going into these games thinking that they have to beat the opposition by a certain amount of points in order to keep up when the most obvious of tiebreakers is staring everybody in the face, and that's bypass.

Speaker 29 We're talking more about quality losses than head-to-head matchups. It's crazy, Bob.
And I'm so glad that you're on my page now and we can go ahead and correct this on the broadcast on Saturday.

Speaker 38 And we can let the people know your voice matters, Mr.

Speaker 17 Chucklef.

Speaker 67 Yeah, my voice does not matter a lick. I'm not a South Florida legend, and the name fits.
And yeah, like to me, again, our job is to document the game.

Speaker 67 Our job is to document that event in like the parameters of what is going on in the event, which is that the committee has said this is what Miami has to do, clearly through their actions.

Speaker 67 Because, you know, you do not get credit. for ACC wins.
You get penalized more for ACC losses.

Speaker 67 Just look at the ratings for the ACC teams, right? Like this league, it is what it is, right? They're just not respected the way the other three Power Four Leagues are.

Speaker 18 But the way that you're doing this, Bob, the sports radio host in you, okay, if we're going to make this about merit, not judging scorecards, this isn't gymnastics, this isn't boxing, okay?

Speaker 18 It's not supposed to be judges, even though we've been doing it this way for a long time.

Speaker 18 The stupidity and how it is that we're doing this, when you're simply telling me out loud as a national voice for these things, I understand the ACC is not respected as a conference, but no one seems to be saying in your position.

Speaker 18 And the SEC is shit as a conference this year. It just happens to have a reputation that makes it feel like those teams are better than Louisville and SMU when they're not.

Speaker 18 They're just in different uniforms.

Speaker 67 And again, that's an opinion, right? And that's not the opinion of the committee, right?

Speaker 67 So, yeah, I mean, do I think that the teams in the ACC, because I've covered them most of the year, are better than they're given credit for? Yeah, I do.

Speaker 51 But

Speaker 67 again,

Speaker 67 you know,

Speaker 67 we can only live when we're documenting the game in the world that the committee tells us is, you know, the parameters.

Speaker 18 Well, no, Mike's asking you as a Miami legend to fight the power.

Speaker 17 I'm asking you to change the world, Bob.

Speaker 18 He's asking you and your co-conspiracy.

Speaker 37 He's asking you and Lou Riddick to change the world.

Speaker 18 It's time to take sides, Bob. And people who sit outside taking time, they're on a side.
They're on the wrong side.

Speaker 37 This is war.

Speaker 42 War doesn't determine who is right.

Speaker 23 It determines who is left.

Speaker 67 And if there's anybody that can move that needle, clearly it is South Florida media legend Chuckle.

Speaker 64 Thank you.

Speaker 64 Thank you.

Speaker 29 You get it now. This guy gets it.

Speaker 18 Okay. You just admitted something, though, that I was surprised by in all of your professionalism.
You said out loud, I was rooting for Miami to win big.

Speaker 67 Because I think to get them into that pod of teams with Notre Dame, so they get the credit for that head-to-head win, which again, I don't agree with that system. That is the system.

Speaker 67 That's why we were, we talked to Mara Cristobal during the week. He acknowledged that they needed to win these games and win them impressively.
He even said

Speaker 67 that like at the end of the Syracuse and NC State games, he was thinking, you know, what am I supposed to do? Am I not supposed to put my threes out there when we're up 41 to nothing or 38 to three?

Speaker 67 And then Syracuse scores a touchdown or NC State scores a touchdown against my third stringers. And now we only won 38 to 10.
We didn't win 38 to nothing. We only won 41 to 7.

Speaker 67 So he even acknowledged the world that he was living in and what he thought he had to do on Saturday. And that's why he threw the ball in the end zone on a meaningless play at the end of the game.

Speaker 19 Just to try and add seven more.

Speaker 18 Are a lot of people accusing you of anti-Miami bias or just Mike Ryan saying that you and your company are online?

Speaker 35 Lou Ryan. I didn't invent Chuckle.

Speaker 23 That was created by the Keynes community online.

Speaker 67 Love the Keynes community.

Speaker 18 Okay, Okay, I don't believe you.

Speaker 37 Yeah, I don't believe him either.

Speaker 30 He was very clearly rude to Virginia Tech.

Speaker 18 I mean, he's coming here. Oh, God.

Speaker 64 You are.

Speaker 67 Now we are watching our local show hour where you're going to go to Jose and Hialeah next, and he can pile on a bunch of people.

Speaker 19 He's got good takes, by the way.

Speaker 41 He's got good takes.

Speaker 30 He's got good takes. He's going to be Hialiya.
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 10 Like you weren't cutting it up with James Franklin from Blacksburg for three quarters.

Speaker 7 That was ridiculous.

Speaker 27 I saw you pat him on the shoulder.

Speaker 37 Yeah, you liked him.

Speaker 18 Yeah, that was excessive. Letting James Franklin do that used car salesman thing for a quarter and a half of your broadcast.

Speaker 23 You know what you do next, Scape? You bring up Alex Miraball from the sidelines and you just talk about the trenches and how we dominate the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 67 Deal.

Speaker 3 I feel like this is working, guys.

Speaker 7 We're doing this for the 12th best team in the country.

Speaker 18 All right, so, Bob, do you have any UM games left? Do you want to make any requests?

Speaker 18 Do you have UM games? Yes, okay, so you want to give him anything, any requests so that he can, so that you want to get your propaganda in the mainstream.

Speaker 29 And he is telling you that he is trying to do things according to the system what kind of anarchy would you like to request i have a i have a whole process anytime acc people broadcast people are in town we whine we dine we take them out to a steakhouse we'll add two to the resi i have gorby add two more we'll get you at the steak table and we'll work him we'll just lay out a couple of like practical arguments such as head-to-head and then whether you know it or not you've just been sweet talked into carrying out our propaganda.

Speaker 1 This shit works. Do those practical arguments include the two unranked losses in the last six weeks or do they not?

Speaker 7 SMU is actually ranked now, pal.

Speaker 1 Check your notes. The only team in the top 17 where that's the case?

Speaker 55 Check your notes.

Speaker 18 I feel like SMU is a good team.

Speaker 25 What needs to happen, Bob?

Speaker 37 Teor.

Speaker 40 For two are a CF3 team.

Speaker 37 Dan,

Speaker 23 no one has gone.

Speaker 29 I'm talking to Jack shit. I'd rather talk to ChuckleFuck.

Speaker 23 No one has gone into that stadium in ACC play and come out with a dumb.

Speaker 7 Because the ACC stinks.

Speaker 42 No, it doesn't stink.

Speaker 37 It doesn't.

Speaker 33 You stink.

Speaker 19 fsu hate alabama

Speaker 18 that's what I saw you what that's great you stink for the guy who doesn't have a you stink all right all right enough make that a t-shirt please the ACC doesn't stink you stink I think we can sell many of those t-shirts so did we

Speaker 3 I'm just I'm just glad you're level-headed about that.

Speaker 18 Bob was shoes in

Speaker 18 being a voice of reason here.

Speaker 30 Yeah, now.

Speaker 36 Now.

Speaker 18 Bob, I don't know if you qualify for whatever the haughty standard of journalist would be, but you're aspiring to a higher standard of broadcasting. So should we?

Speaker 18 You're aspiring to objectivity, correct?

Speaker 67 Oh, and obviously Mike Ryan's playing this right down the middle. Like, clearly, he is.

Speaker 64 He's got eyes.

Speaker 67 He is Switzerland in this argument.

Speaker 64 But I'd argue for Saturday.

Speaker 67 Now, if the Kanes win on Saturday, that's four ranked wins. Because Pittsburgh wins.

Speaker 37 We all know what they're doing.

Speaker 12 We all know what they're doing by putting Pittsburgh at the bottom of that. They're just doing this so that they can continue to jump Utah.
I mean, it's ridiculous to bias against the Big 12.

Speaker 33 It's unbelievable what they're doing.

Speaker 18 Okay.

Speaker 8 That's what you sound like, you fool.

Speaker 18 Nope, that's unnecessary.

Speaker 25 Jeremy, why don't you let him say that?

Speaker 42 I'm not going to let him talk to Bob that way.

Speaker 28 That was really rude to our guest.

Speaker 8 Sorry, Chuck.

Speaker 18 You fool.

Speaker 66 Six, seven.

Speaker 18 All right, let's play this for Bob Washusen and let's have him break down here what happened here because I'm maintaining that this wet sock was given production help before the show doesn't know how to sell what he's selling because they just threw him into a position he's over matched for he sees that Rhys Davis is asking him a question and the smile comes across his face because he's like, I've got a pop culture joke that's going to kill.

Speaker 18 And then he gets Rhys Davis's name wrong because he's a fool.

Speaker 65 But there was a change at 6-7 with Oregon and Ole Miss swapping spots.

Speaker 14 How much of an impact potentially could it be on Ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field?

Speaker 66 6'7.

Speaker 62 But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion.

Speaker 18 Oh my God.

Speaker 15 But seriously, Rich.

Speaker 43 Oh, my God.

Speaker 42 That's a good chuckle.

Speaker 67 That's me. I'm living up to my nickname.

Speaker 18 Break that down for us. Tell us straight what happened.

Speaker 6 Yeah, what was your favorite part of that?

Speaker 67 Well, I mean, Reese almost, like, or Rich, almost laughed uncomfortably as if he didn't know that was coming. You'd have to think he would have been in on the joke, right?

Speaker 67 Like, he's giving him, he's doing this, and then he's supposed to spike it away, right? I would have thought he would have, he almost seems surprised that he went there.

Speaker 6 No, he was surprised at how poorly it came out.

Speaker 67 That might be true.

Speaker 18 Yeah, one of those people is good at television, and the other person shouldn't be on television.

Speaker 18 They were trying to do the comedy stylings of how do we sell this made-for-TV thing to America. I know, I've got a 6'7.

Speaker 15 I love that we're giving this guy like an opportunity that this could have been cool. Like, there's just zero.

Speaker 47 Like, you guys are like, if he said it, no, it was going to be awkward and weird no matter what.

Speaker 21 Not with that pattern on that blazer.

Speaker 18 What is the fairest thing to say when you're critiquing the fact that we are playing college football games violently and not actually doing this based on merit?

Speaker 18 We're doing it on some sort of formula that's subjective and meant to create argument as part of a month-long

Speaker 18 build-up to what the playoffs have become, which is the second biggest professional sport in America.

Speaker 67 When has it not been that way?

Speaker 67 In college football, this is always what it's been. It's always been a subjective argument, right? It's not objective.

Speaker 67 I mean, if it was objective, the Miami wouldn't have to throw a touchdown pass with 12 seconds to go in a game that's over.

Speaker 67 So, yeah, I mean, the idea of getting to 12 teams and ultimately 16, I think we all know we're going there, is that once you get at least 12 to 16 teams in the argument, you get

Speaker 40 critical masks.

Speaker 1 No, trust me, I thought 12 wouldn't be able to do it.

Speaker 67 You can get critical masks where you've got at least, you know, you got the seven or eight best teams in there, and maybe that's supposed to say, yes, we've got a true national champion and we decided it on the field.

Speaker 67 Like that, right? I mean, that's like the NCAA basketball tournament.

Speaker 67 We argue for a minute about the bubble teams, but then when that argument's over, we kind of forget about the bubble teams because there's 68 teams in the tournament.

Speaker 67 I don't know how many college football teams you'd have to get in where the bubble teams would really no longer be relevant past that one argument. Maybe I obviously don't think 12 is it.

Speaker 18 Maybe we have to get to 16, but that's the idea of this, that there will be objectivity once we get to the playoff because now all you have to do is win you broadcast everything uh but when i say uh you associate yourself most which with which sport uh top of the food chain for you

Speaker 67 i guess it depends on who i mean in the new york i'm certainly associated with the jets i've been doing that for 24 years um

Speaker 67 On ESPN, it's probably 50-50 at this point. I mean, the hockey community seems to have learned who I am.

Speaker 40 The reason I bring it up is someone.

Speaker 32 Like, Baba Shusen on the internet is considered the best guy going on hockey.

Speaker 18 Okay, so this is the reason that I brought it up. I thought he was going to answer hockey.
I was lobbing it to him. He and I have the same chemistry as Rich and the wet sock.

Speaker 18 But the reason I wanted to go here with him is because, as someone who had three and a half years in this market, please give me the historical context for what you're witnessing from these Panthers.

Speaker 18 Because to have that be the organizational stability that flogs both countries in that sport, I'm still stupefied by it.

Speaker 67 It's amazing, you know, and it's awesome. I mean, I was at Panthers opening night, like the opening night in 1993.
So saw it from its very beginnings.

Speaker 67 We're all in this hockey chat.

Speaker 67 I've told the guys on the hockey chat, one of the things I think is most awesome is I got a bunch of guys texting me who have like Hispanic last names, who are natives of South Florida, who are diehard Panthers fans.

Speaker 67 Like that's proof that hockey is a product is great no matter where you take it and who you show it to. Be exposed to it and you're going to see what a great game it is.

Speaker 67 But the fact that these guys are all diehard hockey fans, I think is amazing.

Speaker 67 I mean, I remember the days where you went into Blockbuster Video and like there was a John Van Beesbrook tape that would go along with your rental where you could take it home and it would be like, here are the rules to hockey.

Speaker 67 That's exactly this is icing. This is offsides.
Like, you know, like the first scene in Slapshot. And now, I mean, hockey is just baked into South Florida as it is anywhere.

Speaker 31 You know about that two-line pass, Dan?

Speaker 18 You know about that blockbuster?

Speaker 10 Two-line pass. Imagine how good Pab O'Burre would be in today's life.

Speaker 18 Chris Cody, why were you laughing throughout Bob Washusin's?

Speaker 15 No, because he mentioned the Hispanic names and Mike just started rattling them off behind me.

Speaker 17 Jose Lasso.

Speaker 21 Chase Romero.

Speaker 18 I didn't like the spice in Washusin's voice when he took out Jose from high school.

Speaker 34 I didn't like that too. I didn't like

Speaker 46 a play on for me.

Speaker 18 I didn't like that. He's a good caller.

Speaker 11 Playoff for you?

Speaker 18 Play on for you.

Speaker 36 You should be the decider of this. Yeah, for sure.
How about you, Zaz?

Speaker 27 What do you think?

Speaker 40 You hate minorities.

Speaker 36 I would have gone with Hector.

Speaker 18 Yeah, see you later, Washus. Good talking to you.
See you guys.
