Speaker 10 This is the Dan Levatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 11 Welcome to another episode of Insights to Mediocrity. I'm Jeremy Tashay here with our expert, our superstar, Tony Kaladiou.

Speaker 1 Good to be here, Jeremy.

Speaker 11 Tony, can today's player hang with you and your heyday?

Speaker 1 It's a good question because if you want me to be honest, my heyday was probably around 2017-18.

Speaker 1 I was playing at ESPN basically every day, playing with guys like Ryan Hollins, playing like former pro guys that were, you know, were still pretty active.

Speaker 1 And I would say that's probably the best I ever was in that time.

Speaker 1 Led the league in scoring at ESPN. I don't even know if we can find those stats.
I think we should. I don't know who's out there.
Please find those stats for me.

Speaker 1 My research team, let's get on that one. That's where the myth of the 10-day Tony like really started.

Speaker 1 It's like, wait a second, this guy who's like, here's like a production guy, like is just giving everybody buckets.

Speaker 1 like why is this happening where is this coming from throwing lobs to ryan hollins off the backboard and it was like oh wait okay so can they hang with me probably

Speaker 12 probably

Speaker 1 but at that point i could have probably been somewhere on a 10-day situation that's why even on a two-way that's why they call him the man the myth the legend 10-day tony thank you tony how do you feel about load management there's two schools of thought right there's a school of thought that i get paid to play and i pay to play right that's what differentiates the athletes.

Speaker 1 You get paid to do this. I pay to do this.
I can't load manage because I'm losing money.

Speaker 1 Like when I play in these leagues, I'm giving money to the league to play. So yeah, you're a great athlete to get paid to play, but I pay to play.

Speaker 1 And that's hard-earned money that I'm investing while somebody else is investing because they actually pay for me to play.

Speaker 1 So, but the point is, The guy who pays for me to play is losing money if I don't play. Therefore, I'm in 40 minutes a game.

Speaker 6 I'm playing all day.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I don't like load management from the perspective of losing money. I'm not here to lose people money.
I'm here to make people money.

Speaker 6 All right.

Speaker 15 We've got some massive games in the NFL. Dan, I circled this one on the calendar.
Jags Broncos in Denver, a who's who game in the AFC.

Speaker 15 And then we've got Sunday night football, Pats, Ravens, Ravens fighting for their playoff lives.

Speaker 9 Pats need to try and take control, the number one seed.

Speaker 15 And if you're looking to go to any of these games,

Speaker 12 I have gotten from a source here, is this Pablo's people who are sending this to us?

Speaker 12 They say that Tony played 16 games as a senior at Killian High School.

Speaker 12 Do we want some stats on this? Do we want some stats on Tony's numbers in high school?

Speaker 15 I did tear my meniscus the first

Speaker 15 season, or excuse me, the first practice of the season, tour my meniscus, so I played only half the games, but yes, I rehabbed.

Speaker 6 First repractice. Yeah, I rehab.

Speaker 15 I rehabbed for the first like six weeks of the year. Had surgery, then had to rehab the entire year, so I didn't play the entire year, but go ahead.

Speaker 12 I mean, as a front office person, what do you want or need to see the stats to be for these to be real wise insights insights into mediocrity so first of all i want to know is it meniscus repair or they took it out no repair okay all right that good that a good answer or a bad answer you know it's look meniscus repair is longer recovery he's listed as a power forward he's pretty undersized for a power forward yeah but he can shoot so he spaces the floor and again this was you're talking about 2010 was my senior year we're talking about small ball really not being a thing we almost initiated small ball in miami invented i've never seen a clip of him in the post man the post is dead buddy like wake up that's true uh what's the,

Speaker 19 there's an assistant coach on the heat who's a former high school coach, right?

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah, of course.

Speaker 15 Coach Octavio de la Grana. There you go, Coach F.
F.

Speaker 15 Used to coach F at Florida.

Speaker 6 What did you just say?

Speaker 21 Dahl, I need you to run that one back.

Speaker 22 Octavio de la Grana.

Speaker 15 Coach, Coach Team.

Speaker 13 Bless you. Everybody? Yeah.

Speaker 19 I heard he was around, you know, the high school scene a lot, like taking notes. And he said, hey, Cospo, you know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this.

Speaker 12 Tony, 16 games, 14 points per game,

Speaker 12 6.5 rebounds, 48% shooting.

Speaker 6 Not bad. Wow.

Speaker 15 And again, I mean, I was 17, 18 years old. You get better as you get older.

Speaker 9 I shot 40% my junior year.

Speaker 6 From where?

Speaker 13 From where? The court.

Speaker 19 40%.

Speaker 15 From the field.

Speaker 14 From the field, man.

Speaker 12 Somebody find me Zaz's stats. The court.
I need to.

Speaker 12 You shot 40%.

Speaker 12 What were the team records? Killian and

Speaker 13 Enemy.

Speaker 9 We spanked that ass. All right, whatever, man.

Speaker 15 We went to the... We went to Richard.

Speaker 12 You were playing against Zaszlo's teammates?

Speaker 6 No, no, hell no. No, but I'm saying like a tournament.

Speaker 12 It would be the equivalent of playing against Zaszlo as a junior.

Speaker 12 North Miami Beach versus Killian. I don't know what those schools are now in basketball.
North Miami Beach has any kind of basketball history?

Speaker 9 No, no. We're not going to.
It was you.

Speaker 1 Killian has a very rich basketball history.

Speaker 15 And in that time, we had actually our rival school, Palmetto High School, literally separated by two and a half miles from the schools. Timmy Hardaway Jr.
was their best player.

Speaker 15 And so we went against Timmy three, four, five times a year in different tournaments and district games, whatever. We lost our district championship in that

Speaker 15 year to Timmy, who had 45, was shooting from half court the entire time.

Speaker 9 We played those Miami high teams that had their championships stripped. Steve Blake, Eudonis Howard, go to teams.
We played against those teams.

Speaker 12 I have aired, okay, in a number of different ways over the course of my career and recent weeks. And today, most of all, as I stumble to the finish line.

Speaker 14 I was going to say, man, you're bringing out all the tricks to be.

Speaker 12 Just talking about Killian North Miami Beach and your high school years before the biggest game in 20 years for the University of Miami and probably for Texas A ⁇ M as well.

Speaker 12 I have not played enough the sound of a drunk Greg Cody trying to bring this game to life from the seat of an Uber on a long drive home with his son badgering him in the middle of the night, wearing holiday clothes that he doesn't like to be in because he wants to be wearing a baseball cap.

Speaker 12 Drunk breath after a surgical strike of about 40 straight beers brought by a high-powered lawyer, a founder of a media company, and several other assassins, including a sniper, here's Greg Cody lifting us into the sky before the big game.

Speaker 18 Biggest gave me 20 years.

Speaker 6 The years. How much more can I fire you up?

Speaker 12 I can't fire you up more than that. Look at that.
That's old, wisened.

Speaker 6 That is an elder.

Speaker 6 Brandon Marshall called him Pops the other day.

Speaker 6 Look, listen to me.

Speaker 12 This is the voice of the Miami Herald.

Speaker 18 Biggest gave me 20 years. Newspapers used to matter.

Speaker 18 This program used to matter. Because it came in 20 years.

Speaker 13 Tony just said a little while ago that he was 17 and you get better after 17. You know who else is 17 years old? Malachi Tony, bro.
Imagine how good that brother is going to be. Yes.

Speaker 12 I think he's 18 now. I think he's.

Speaker 12 I think so, but it's still ridiculous.

Speaker 10 Play on.

Speaker 12 Marcel Reed has thrown six interceptions in the past five games. He makes mistakes.
Like, I really, I know we analyze this stuff.

Speaker 12 I don't know what the assessment is supposed to be, Zaslow, off of last night's Seattle and Rams games. They're very good teams.
They're excellent.

Speaker 12 If they play each other, I expect Donald to turn the ball over more than Stafford. And I'd like to watch them play the rest of the season.
You can get rid of all the other teams if you want.

Speaker 6 You really can.

Speaker 12 I'd be fine watching those two teams play because I think those are the two best teams, most complete teams.

Speaker 9 Do you feel any better about Darnold after last night?

Speaker 12 No, but they can overcome it. They almost have against the Rams twice.
Like, obviously, they're good enough to be able to overcome it.

Speaker 12 And that's not even with Smith and Jigb been doing anything yet last night.

Speaker 9 They had no business winning that game last night. The Seattle, I mean, Darnold throws the interception down two scores, down two scores with two two-point conversions.

Speaker 9 They're down with nine, 10 minutes left. And he throws the interception, a terrible interception on the goal line.
And they still managed to come back.

Speaker 12 Wherever it is that you can't predict turnovers, but you can predict more probable for Darnold to turn them over than for Stafford.

Speaker 13 Yeah, and Stafford had 457 yards last night night without Devontae Adams.

Speaker 13 And imagine coming up with that on the fly, finding guys like Davis Allen, finding guys like Tony Ferguson, whatever Brother Ferguson name is. Terrence Ferguson.

Speaker 6 Terrence Ferguson.

Speaker 20 Tony Ferguson, UFC fighter.

Speaker 13 Yeah, oh, yeah. He wanted to make it.
That's a GUI. But yeah, bro, I think Matthew Stafford, he might have cemented himself into the MVP conversation.

Speaker 15 With the loss?

Speaker 13 With the loss, as well as Sean McVay. It's going to be hard pressed to name this coach of the year this year.
Imagine the Seahawks. Imagine what they're doing in Chicago.
Who is the coach of the year?

Speaker 16 I can't tell you, right?

Speaker 15 Straight Bull 2 is doing a great job.

Speaker 12 No, I just love the take, though, that Stafford won the MVP and a loss. Seaman.

Speaker 13 Right, and also, too, that people are not talking about enough, the 49ers right now have an opportunity to win out and play every single game, including the Super Bowl, at home, throughout the playoffs.

Speaker 13 Never been done. Amazing.

Speaker 12 The other thing I was going to say, though, about however you analyze things that are as random as turnovers, what what do you do zaslow as a college football uh expert insider and journalist with marcel reed throws a lot of interceptible passes he not all of them have been intercepted he's got 10 turnovers he's good for one a game and in the last few games he's had more than you would think he should have miami's got a good pass rush where it is that this game is obviously going to be decided like all games are who's going to turn the ball over.

Speaker 12 Miami lost when it turned the ball over four times against Louisville. That's how they're going to lose.

Speaker 12 I imagine it's going to be very hard for anybody to blow out Miami, given how balanced they are on both sides of the ball.

Speaker 9 Yeah, that's the part that probably I'm most comfortable with, where even if like Texas A ⁇ M gets out to, you know, 10-0 lead,

Speaker 9 I think the Canes, I think the Canes are going to score on them tomorrow. I think the Canes have way more firepower than Texas A ⁇ M.
I don't really believe in Texas A ⁇ M.

Speaker 9 Didn't love them at the end of the season. Didn't love the way they looked against Texas.
Especially didn't love the way they looked in the second half against Texas.

Speaker 12 Or South Carolina before that.

Speaker 9 And by the way, way, the game against LSU, too, like they ended up beating the hell out of LSU in the second half, but that first half, like LSU was in that game.

Speaker 9 I think the Canes are going to be too much for them.

Speaker 12 This is all homerification as we bring up on the screen.

Speaker 12 Look at Amin just amused by the yellowing of the newspaper.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 12 There it is.

Speaker 12 What do you have? American 79, North Miami Beach.

Speaker 9 Well, don't pay attention to the score there, all right? Because

Speaker 9 that was a James Jones-led American high, all right? What are we going to do against all-county James Jones? But look right there in the box score.

Speaker 10 Zaszlo, two.

Speaker 9 That's right.

Speaker 12 You scored two against James Jones.

Speaker 9 Yeah, you see James Jones right there. Either 17 or 14

Speaker 9 was him. But yeah, James Jones had himself a game.
Me right there. So I, you know, I countered his 17 with two.

Speaker 6 You know,

Speaker 12 this is something Greg Cody loves to write of newspaper that looks like this. It's me.
The color of unbrushed teeth.

Speaker 18 Biggest game of 20 years.

Speaker 12 Listen to me through teeth that are unbrushed.

Speaker 18 Biggest gave me 20 years.

Speaker 12 That smell like 40 Miller lights brought by Sniper, media founder, and his high-powered lawyer wife.

Speaker 18 Biggest gave me 20 years.

Speaker 12 Texas AM and UM is what?

Speaker 18 Biggest game of 20 years.

Speaker 12 For which of the two teams?

Speaker 12 Texas AM doesn't win 10 games of seasons, as game meetings. Not even with Manzel.

Speaker 9 Tony, do you have your name in a newspaper like that?

Speaker 14 I do.

Speaker 15 Back in the day, that's before the internet. We would have the names of the newspaper.
I actually have my name as like an eighth grader, you know, colladio, 28 points whatever

Speaker 19 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 netflix's new movie the rip they play a team of miami cops alongside tiana taylor stephen yon catalina sandino moreno kyle chandler and saja kayje all trying to decide are they the good guys or the bad guys This movie is an edge of your seat thrill ride the entire time, keeping you guessing until the very end.

Speaker 19 Don't miss the rip only on Netflix on January 16th.

Speaker 11 Critics are calling Marty Supreme a full throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I couldn't be more excited to see this one.

Speaker 11 That's got my boy, Timothy Chalamet, from 824 and starring Timothy Chalamay alongside Powerhouse Cast, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa Azion, and Tyler Ocoma. Marty Supreme now playing only in theaters.

Speaker 1 If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside your house, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 1 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 1 It's proactive with this double layer of defense that helps stop crime before it even starts.

Speaker 1 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, then live monitoring agents jump in right away.

Speaker 1 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. That's how you stop crime before it starts.

Speaker 1 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. I trust that to SimplySafe.
That's it.

Speaker 1 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.
News and World Report. Right now, it's the best time to jump in.

Speaker 1 Simply Safe's Safe's last chance Black Friday sale 50% off any new system. Go to simply safe.com/slash DLB.
Again, that's simplysafe.com/slash DLB. There is no safe like SimplySafe.

Speaker 23 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 9 My algorithm on Instagram is Dan's all boobs.

Speaker 4 Stugats.

Speaker 5 It's a good algorithm.

Speaker 23 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 19 Dan, they pulled up Tony's stats here and the more I've been thinking about it, like these are pretty good stats, man. First of all, shot 40% from three on good volume, 60 attempts in only 16 games.

Speaker 19 Second of all, when you take out those three-point attempts, guess what your field goal percentage is? 55% from the field. This guy was an efficient player, and he bangs on the boards, too.

Speaker 19 What's that?

Speaker 12 Six and a half rebounds a game?

Speaker 15 Somewhere I had a double-double, somewhere maybe I didn't go after him as much, but you know.

Speaker 12 Again, one of the great failures of my career that before this game, we were talking about Tony's Killian high school sports stats instead of our beloved mentor explaining to us from every angle how important this college football game is within 24 hours, 25 hours.

Speaker 18 20 years.

Speaker 20 Not a lot of assists for Tony in that stats, but I mean, somebody needs to score.

Speaker 6 Somebody needs to score.

Speaker 12 Damashek said that Amin is one of these cools. Why didn't you respond to that?

Speaker 19 Because I was laughing. It was funny.

Speaker 19 It was really funny.

Speaker 19 Because he described it as ass. Like what they were doing.

Speaker 6 They were. No.
They were.

Speaker 21 Is PDA appropriate at a holiday party when there's a new person there that's just trying to get a sense of the playing field?

Speaker 12 Why were there public displays of affection between you and your dog? It's what I was asking before. Like, it's why I was,

Speaker 12 I thought it was strange that somebody who had been here for two days brought an animal around food.

Speaker 19 I'll tell you right now, that dog had some PDA with that laptop.

Speaker 21 He was licking the mouse.

Speaker 6 Going to town.

Speaker 12 What is happening, and I want real honesty from you here because I don't know what the strangest thing was from a careening holiday party.

Speaker 12 I don't know whether it was the Greg Cody surgical strike of beers.

Speaker 18 Biggest game in 20 years.

Speaker 12 I don't know whether it was Frankie dressed as Dominican Blade. That's great.

Speaker 12 And yes, that's our security. Like, he has to go to the fight with you guys if you go, right? Frankie's got to go.

Speaker 6 If you go.

Speaker 12 Does that mean you're not going now?

Speaker 12 I'm trying to think of what the group should be.

Speaker 12 I'm not sure what, I think it should be a surprise who ends up going, but I think somebody in our group should be going and representing the show, and somebody needs to eat spaghetti out of a bag.

Speaker 19 Guys, this sounds like a foist.

Speaker 19 It went from Dan's going to eat spaghetti out of a bag to someone from the show needs to go eat spaghetti out of a bag.

Speaker 12 You need a fat guy to do it, so it's either me, Zaz, or Chris. Zaz says it's too late for him.
I don't know what's going on with Chris.

Speaker 12 I need five people, one of whom is funny, eating spaghetti out of a bag.

Speaker 13 I'm not calling anybody the F-word, but I think we should get stunt Dan. Stunt Dan definitely needs to be there.
Danny, I got to be there.

Speaker 13 I think also, brother Robert, that'd be sitting back there with the collar shirt. Bob, he got to go, bro.
And we got to send Ethan Bodowski. Yeah, I mean, come on.

Speaker 14 Wow. Star turn.
Look at that. Okay,

Speaker 6 these are terrible decisions.

Speaker 14 These are terrible. That's not representing our show correctly.
Yes, it is, Dan.

Speaker 22 Everybody here.

Speaker 13 The holiday party last night showed me everybody is so valuable here that it don't even matter. Send five of any of us.
We're going to get it done.

Speaker 12 Wait a minute.

Speaker 19 But Dan has to go.

Speaker 19 I'm not going to allow this or we're going to legislate this the way, like, oh, the show was represented. Like, no, you have to go because that's the whole point.

Speaker 19 Netflix wants to say, and there's Dan Levittard, and he's eating spaghetti out of a bag, as opposed to there's a guy who kind of looks like Dan Lebetard, but he's a little shorter.

Speaker 9 Dan Lepitard sitting next to a guy eating spaghetti out of a bag, I think, is funnier.

Speaker 5 Just you you next to Danny B.

Speaker 21 It should be Dan and then Dan's double with a gray beard eating the spaghetti.

Speaker 20 Let's take Dan's double. There he is.

Speaker 12 I think you guys should have Danny go and just say used to be with ESPN, doesn't look the way that he used to.

Speaker 12 Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Levittard, and we should pass it off as it is me as an imposter. Like, we should give him my clothes, allow him to go, maybe sit next to Valerie.

Speaker 21 Bring Valerie up. We got him bring Valerie up.

Speaker 12 Lebo hat, maybe public public displays of affection between him

Speaker 12 and Valerie and Trista's dog.

Speaker 5 And he just said, I'm in.

Speaker 12 Trista's dog should be there. For sure.

Speaker 21 Valerie wanted Ollie. She was lobbying for another dog.

Speaker 21 And somehow, which I don't know if anyone else knows the story, two seconds into her meeting Ollie, I found out there was like a vicious dog attack and a cat that almost died inside of the Lebatard household.

Speaker 21 It was, her leg was viciously injured.

Speaker 9 What's going to circuit you running?

Speaker 19 The dog almost died. That was a crazy night.

Speaker 6 Damn, the dog got died.

Speaker 12 No, so one of the worst decisions my wife has ever made is to bring a pit bull into a home that's got two cats and have me stand

Speaker 6 when they want to fight.

Speaker 21 Like a foster or like a rescue, right?

Speaker 12 Yeah. Well, yeah.
Well, here's the thing. Oh, Trista, this is going to break your heart as somebody who loves animals.

Speaker 12 Like they just dump them off to live for themselves and fight in the wild in the Redlands, and they're beautiful animals. and they just dump them in the wild to survive.

Speaker 12 So this is a super anxious one, but a really bad decision to bring him into a house full of cats when the cat thinks he's boss and he's right.

Speaker 12 The male cat named after Otis Redding doesn't like me and runs the house and didn't like a pit bull being in the house. And so there was a fight and they had to settle it.

Speaker 12 And my wife got bit like in a place that was dangerous. But the worst of it was me and the cat.
I'm holding the cat. You cannot get between these animals.

Speaker 12 And the cat's got me on the wrists and I'm I'm starting to bleed and it's screeching at me.

Speaker 9 So it's not even declawed? No.

Speaker 21 No, that's that's antipeda. You can't declaw it.

Speaker 14 No, it's terrible.

Speaker 12 It's a terrible thing to do to a cat. But so I'm looking at this cat in the eyes and this cat is grabbing my wrists and wants to fight the pit bull and I say to him and it I didn't say it out loud.

Speaker 12 No, you are the man of this house. I'm sorry for everything that's happened here and I must let you go now because you run things now because he just shredded me and wanted to kill that pit bull.

Speaker 12 But my wife got bit by the pit bull because you're not supposed to get in the way of those things imagine a cat thinking it runs a Zaslow mansion

Speaker 12 I get it I understand exactly why it is you would mock me on this somebody's declawed in the Lebatt house that's what happened

Speaker 12 I saw it happen I looked into that cat's eyes and I'm like you're more of a man than I am

Speaker 12 I was bleeding. I mean, I was bleeding down my elbows.
Like, I didn't have claws.

Speaker 19 I would have thrown it so far across the look, just shot it.

Speaker 6 Or punted it.

Speaker 12 You think I couldn't? You think I didn't try? Like, it, no, it embedded itself in me. Didn't you guys see I was having a Greg Cody bad arm day when I came in here?

Speaker 12 My arms were all bloody. How have we not played the sound of your father drunk more today?

Speaker 18 Biggest game in 20 years.

Speaker 9 I just don't understand how your dad was... Like, okay, he was clearly drunk, but he doesn't understand what it means when you say.

Speaker 19 What do you mean by that?

Speaker 9 Well, no, whisper, biggest game in 20 years. What do you mean, my dad?

Speaker 12 No, let's play the entire thing. I do want to marvel at this this because this is the toddler Erlene married, and this is the toddler who raised Chris Cody.

Speaker 12 Once he gets a dozen in, he doesn't understand, does anything.

Speaker 21 All right, so whisper fake pregame show.

Speaker 6 I don't know what you mean.

Speaker 7 Fake pregame show. I don't know what that means.

Speaker 6 Fake pregame show. Fake pregame show.

Speaker 22 Whisper it. Do it.

Speaker 6 Fake pregame show.

Speaker 6 Fake pregame show.

Speaker 6 Biggest game in 20 years.

Speaker 18 Biggest game in 20 years.

Speaker 6 University of Miami. University of Miami.
Texas A ⁇ M.

Speaker 18 Texas A ⁇ M.

Speaker 6 That kind of thing. That kind of thing.
Whispering. That kind of thing.
That kind of thing.

Speaker 12 Just do again.

Speaker 6 Fake pre-game show. Oh, for the love of God.

Speaker 6 Pregame show. Fake pregame show.
Fake pregame show. Pre-gaming it.
Pre-game in it. Pre-gaming it.
Pre-game in it.

Speaker 19 I did not hear the first time around, though, for the love of God.

Speaker 12 That's exactly how my dad became at the end of his career, where it's like we're badgering him for the last bits of drunken breath we could turn into content. And it's like, get out of here.

Speaker 18 Just do again. Thank you for game show.

Speaker 6 Oh, for the love of God.

Speaker 13 For the love of God, I would like the whole world to know right now, and I'm predicting, I'm in the predicting game.

Speaker 13 Since I'm here in Miami, the New England Patriots will lose their first playoff game this year. They are the biggest frauds in in the NFL right now.

Speaker 13 They done beat up on the Dolphins, the Titans, the Browns, the Bengals, the Jets.

Speaker 2 Didn't they beat your Bills?

Speaker 13 Yeah, what happened last year?

Speaker 13 What have you done for me lately, young Trishna?

Speaker 13 Exactly. Is that the moment though? They're frauds.

Speaker 6 They beat the Giants.

Speaker 21 When the last game that you guys played against the Patriots, you were on the ropes until the very last second.

Speaker 13 You're line-stepping. I think,

Speaker 13 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Speaker 13 Bruh, just mark my word. It don't sound right right now, but they will lose their first playoff game this year.

Speaker 12 I do believe that after last night's game,

Speaker 12 most of us are feeling that whatever is being played for in terms of trying to discern whether Josh Allen will get to the championship game is who's the third best team in the league.

Speaker 12 We just watched the two best.

Speaker 12 The two most balanced football teams playing football. And the only problem Seattle has is, is their quarterback going to turn the ball over?

Speaker 12 Sam Darnold's got the best winning percentage in the sport the last two years. He wins a ton.
Like that game's ridiculous. You get down 16 plus and you lose that game 155 out of 155 times before this.

Speaker 12 But he won it and he won it and there was fluky stuff that happened.

Speaker 12 But he like I understand that there was a special teams touchdown, but at the end when and there was a weird two-point conversion, but the game got won by the quarterback and that quarterback has the best winning percentage in the sport the last two years and nobody cares because they don't trust him.

Speaker 21 The tough thing is, he's just never done it in the postseason. Regular season, Sam Darnold for the Vikings, and then it's just, oh, pumpkin.

Speaker 9 I mean, this was the biggest win of his career, for sure. But still, like, you're going to get to the postseason.
All right, you got to do it here, man.

Speaker 21 And it wasn't like dominant. It was like, oh, this is a weird two-point conversion.
It looked like you, yeah, it felt like you just kind of squeakwind.

Speaker 13 Right, they got three two-point conversions. I don't, like, is that a record?

Speaker 17 That might be a record.

Speaker 12 Well, help me with the,

Speaker 12 I'm going to call it Achilles' heel or fatal flaw of this. The Rams have lost four one-score games ridiculously.

Speaker 12 Like, four one-score games where you're like, yeah, I kind of know they're still better. It's, oh, obviously they're better than Carolina on the road, but wow, that's weird.

Speaker 12 Stafford with three turnovers. That never happens.
That's never going to happen again.

Speaker 6 I would say just football, though, right?

Speaker 15 Like the Chiefs last year were great in one-score games, and now this year they were terrible, but like, that happened.

Speaker 12 Okay, but then the Eagles game, they're up 24-7 or whatever it is on the road.

Speaker 12 And then it's blocked field goals and absurdity at the end where you're like, Philadelphia's not better than them.

Speaker 19 It's kind of like the Broncos. The Broncos long winning streak or whatever.
I think it's like the margin has been like something like 75 points that entire time.

Speaker 19 Every game has been incredibly close for them.

Speaker 9 Grit.

Speaker 12 Is that what it is, though? Or is it like this? If this were not Stafford,

Speaker 12 if this were happening to a team that was led by a quarterback you doubt,

Speaker 17 you'd be like, what's wrong with them?

Speaker 12 What's wrong with them that they're clearly better than everybody? And didn't we just do this to Jordan Love by just merely losing to Carolina and Cleveland? Where we're like, oh, I don't trust them.

Speaker 12 They can't.

Speaker 12 Yeah, that's football, but nobody that's really good has its has its ability to get the number one seed and a buy in the playoffs affected by losing to Cleveland and Carolina.

Speaker 15 The team you're talking about is literally the opposite team of the Rams who played last night. You're talking about the Seattle Seahawks.

Speaker 15 You're talking about a quarterback that you kind of don't really trust. They lost to the Niners by four.
They lost to the Bucs by three.

Speaker 15 And then they lost to the Rams by two. Those are their three losses.
So you're talking about six, seven points between all those games, and you don't trust the quarterback.

Speaker 15 And you're looking at them and be like, oh, that's a weird team. They should be undefeated, yet they're not.

Speaker 12 Can you give me, please, when we talk about these turnovers, how many, does Seattle lead the league in? offensive turnovers?

Speaker 12 Like, is there another team that has turned the ball over more than Seattle? Because I saw that Sam Darnold said that, and it must be so, right?

Speaker 12 If Tua has got 15 interceptions, I assume they've got fumbles here and there as well. But I think that Seattle has turned the ball over like 24 or 25 times.

Speaker 12 And Chicago led the league as recently as this weekend with causing 29 turnovers.

Speaker 21 Vikings with 27, Seahawks with 26, as per stat news.

Speaker 12 Do you know how good you have to be to have their point differential, their record when you're turning the ball over that much? They're playing better than their quarterback's deficiencies.

Speaker 12 They're balanced beyond their quarterbacks' deficiencies. Last time they played the Rams in Los Angeles, they had four turnovers and were trying for a 61-yard field goal to win the game at the end.

Speaker 9 That shit's going to kill you, though, in the playoffs. Like, I understand they had one of those nights yesterday, and they still ended up playing.

Speaker 12 But what if you only have to play two games as opposed to the Rams now have to play three? What if you get a buy? This is how the Patriots' cheat code was for 20 years.

Speaker 12 They just had to play two games, and oftentimes they're playing a beat-up bad team that did an upset.

Speaker 6 And so they're no good going on the road.

Speaker 12 No, it feels like that's the way like you better only have to play two games but that's what caught that's what caught last night was giant like i don't know if if see i don't know if seattle will cough this up from here because football is weird but the best team in the sport to to most people's eyes just took the hardest possible path when football's random and we trusted that coach and that quarterback and they bleeped it up last night.

Speaker 21 Well, what's crazy is if

Speaker 21 Seahawks offensively are second in turnovers.

Speaker 9 defensively in terms of cost turnovers they're second as well so it sort of balances itself out at Panthers and at 49ers are the Seahawks final two games so kind of tough and the Rams at Falcons and Cardinals really easy so Seahawks are game up and I don't know if I look into the division would be the tiebreaker then for the two of them

Speaker 9 Seattle is three and two in the division Rams are three and two like it could totally come down to the very end what are the 49ers though like because the 49ers have something to say yeah the Niners are even in the lost con with the Rams one back of Seattle.

Speaker 9 And yeah, so that may come into play.

Speaker 14 We're looking at Sam Darnold going to be a big one.

Speaker 15 And they're 4-1 in the division. 28-6 in two years.
That's on the doorstep. If they win these last two games, they went 14-3 last year.
They're going to go 14-3 this year. That's 28-6.

Speaker 15 We thought the NFL had figured out Sam Darnold, right? Like, we had the conversation with Damascuk about, has Tua been figured out by the NFL? Defensive coordinators have figured him out.

Speaker 15 He's now dust. That was Sam Darnold three years ago, two years ago,

Speaker 15 before they picked him up when he was in San Francisco. Can we see something like this happen with Tua where somebody else gets him, and then all of a sudden he has a revitalization of his career?

Speaker 15 Like the book is closed, he yada.

Speaker 20 Sam's brain still works.

Speaker 12 This is the part, though. No, see,

Speaker 12 this is the part where everybody distrusts Sam Darnold. This is super rare, what I'm about to say.

Speaker 12 Sam Darnold's playing in a giant football game last night, and we're now making the ones that Sam Darnold loses, the giant ones, because he's won all of the others, and we still question Sam Darnold because he hasn't done it in the playoffs.

Speaker 12 As soon as Darnold, when that game is 14-13 or whatever it was, and Darnold throws that ridiculously stupid interception that gives the Rams an easy touchdown, everybody looked at the television and said, Yep, that's what Darnold's going to do.

Speaker 12 That's how they're going to lose. And if Stafford does it, you think a spaceship has landed on the field.

Speaker 12 And that's the analysis of those two teams. I trust one quarterback.
I don't trust the other one.

Speaker 9 Juju's right, by the way. The Niners are still totally.

Speaker 12 Yes. That's what's going to, they're going to sneak in here with that broken-ass team.

Speaker 9 Like the Niners can finish first in the NFC.

Speaker 9 The Rams could finish third in that division, still make the playoffs, but third in that division because the Niners won the first game against Seattle and they're playing the last game of the season, which is destined to be Sunday night football.

Speaker 13 And with all those injuries they had, Fred Warner and such as people like that, and the Brendan Ayuk saga, how can Kyle Shanahan not be considered coach of the year with that performance?

Speaker 12 Boza, too, is supposed to be out on the defense. The only one who's always out there are McCaffrey and Trent Williams.

Speaker 14 I think Jones won games this year.

Speaker 16 McCorkle was great for a couple games, by the way. And Purdy's been playing really good ball.

Speaker 12 That's absurd. It really is absurd that the 49ers, after five years of being like second to the Chiefs on what's the best organization in the sport, can get there with any quarterback.

Speaker 12 Them doing it with this team quietly, with this team quietly, where it's even more injured, right? Because Kittle missed a bunch of games at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 1 All right, so apparently everyone is launching their own AI agents now. You get an agent.
No, you get an agent.

Speaker 1 They're automatting tasks, running workflows, making decisions, and occasionally absolutely wrecking your day. You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 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 paperbag.

Speaker 1 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 23 Don Lebatard. The horrible Captain Slappy.

Speaker 12 Stugats. Is this Chumbucket?

Speaker 23 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.

Speaker 12 Zaz, who is your favorite person to play, you know about that with?

Speaker 19 You've played it with a...

Speaker 9 Oh, Amin's really good at it, you know, because I like doing it for NBA. But I'm thinking a little bit something different today.
Can we do a little bit of a, you know, about that?

Speaker 17 Come on now. With who?

Speaker 12 With your with Amin?

Speaker 9 Patience, Dan. Let's let the music kick in.
Get excited for a second.

Speaker 6 Oh, God.

Speaker 5 I mean, you see why a cat controls your house.

Speaker 9 We're gonna do, you know, about that.

Speaker 12 I was bleeding from the elbows.

Speaker 10 With Trista.

Speaker 9 That's right. Amin, don't be offended.
I can see a little bit in your eyes. You're like, man, I'm offended because I like doing you know about that.
I'm doing it with Trista today.

Speaker 19 Coward.

Speaker 9 All right, Trista, you ready? Do you know how this game goes?

Speaker 21 No, no, no. Explain it to me.
Okay.

Speaker 9 Trista, I'm going to throw some NBA topics at you and you're going to tell me if you know about that. First up here,

Speaker 9 there are rumors that the Milwaukee Bucks, they may not be trading Giannis. They may actually still try to impress Giannis so that he stays.
And they may do that by trading for Zach Levine.

Speaker 9 The Kings want to trade everybody. Trista, you know about those Milwaukee Bucks, Zach Levine rumors?

Speaker 21 Yeah, apparently the Milwaukee Bucks think that they can entice Giannis to stay. Giannis also is very shaky in terms of whether he's 10 toes down or on his way out.

Speaker 21 Zach Levine, though, is the bucket getter that the Milwaukee Bucks need. This is what the Chicago Bulls thought, Zaz.
This is what the Sacramento Kings thought, Zaz.

Speaker 21 They should just throw in DeMar DeRosen while they're at it.

Speaker 9 All right, sounds like Trista knows about that, Zach Levine. Trista,

Speaker 9 the sporting news. I don't know about this report, but I saw this.
The sporting news put out there that the Warriors should consider cutting ties with Steph Curry. You know about that?

Speaker 21 According to some random person on sporting news and then re-reported on Yahoo, which made me feel like, is this verifiable?

Speaker 21 Steph Curry is going to be on the moves. They're cutting ties with him this year to maybe send him to the Houston Rockets.

Speaker 9 God, when she said, oh, I thought the same thing. Oh my God.

Speaker 6 I heard, oh,

Speaker 9 it was so close to me.

Speaker 2 Hate.

Speaker 6 What?

Speaker 4 Yeah. What?

Speaker 6 Chris thought it too?

Speaker 6 Send him to the house.

Speaker 12 No, that's not the part I'm saying.

Speaker 6 What to.

Speaker 21 Cut ties? What?

Speaker 21 That part's a good thing. Fake news.
Gotta be fake news.

Speaker 24 All right.

Speaker 9 Sounds like you know about that fake news.

Speaker 9 Trista, the NBA Cup was a, I think it was a success, you know, and for the third year in a row, they did it in Vegas, but

Speaker 9 they're considering moving the NBA Cup final to maybe college venues like Cameron Indoors Stadium.

Speaker 17 You know about that?

Speaker 21 Apparently Adam Silver just wants to change everything that's good or that we've started to like into something that we absolutely hate.

Speaker 21 A Cameron Indoors smaller venue, harder to get to, absolute terrible, terrible take to go into a college state.

Speaker 21 I think Vegas is the ultimate place to go, especially with the weather as bad as it is this time of year.

Speaker 9 I mean, Chris, when she said,

Speaker 11 like, it was... I was so excited.

Speaker 10 Me too.

Speaker 12 I mean, they've turned on Silver.

Speaker 6 Everyone, now he's the Clown Commissioner.

Speaker 14 Yes, yes.

Speaker 4 Now he's the fool.

Speaker 19 I'm not going to say that, but that is a fool-ass idea. Cameron indoor, it's a dump.

Speaker 9 And it holds like 6,000 people.

Speaker 19 It's a dump

Speaker 6 with a p on it.

Speaker 12 Put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Is Cameron Into a dump with a p on it?

Speaker 21 it everybody knows that everybody knows it's a bad arena same way everybody knows that Derek Jeter

Speaker 9 bad guy sounds like Trista knows about that Cameron indoor being a dump Trista game doesn't work if she knows about everything do you know that the uh the Dallas Mavericks they may be considering trading Clay Thompson maybe trading him back to the Warriors you know about that oh also Anthony Davis apparently Clay Thompson said this wasn't his I didn't sign up for all this ass I signed up for Carrie Irving.

Speaker 21 I signed up for Luca Donchis. It feels actually like Clay Thompson might be trying to push his way out versus the Mavericks shopping him.

Speaker 9 You know about that, Dan?

Speaker 12 I would have assumed that Clay Thompson was spent as a basketball player.

Speaker 21 Well, he's with Megan the stallion.

Speaker 2 The stallion.

Speaker 19 I'd be spent, too.

Speaker 2 Tony.

Speaker 2 He is spent, Dan.

Speaker 21 Spent like somebody else, I know.

Speaker 9 You know about that Megan V stallion?

Speaker 7 Buddy, I know.

Speaker 4 All right. Buddy, you know?

Speaker 9 I mean, I got it confused one time with like Nikki Minaj.

Speaker 13 It's embarrassing. Suck a move.

Speaker 6 Whatever. I can't tell everybody.

Speaker 9 Finally, Trista. Trey Young

Speaker 9 made his return last night. A loss for the Hawks.
You know about that, Trey Young?

Speaker 21 Do I know about Trey Young? Didn't know until this morning's ads that he actually returned.

Speaker 21 But I think they're actually shopping Trey Young still. I think this is a move to get his value up as high as possible and figure out a way to get maybe get Giannis to the Atlanta Hawks.

Speaker 9 You know about that, Dan?

Speaker 12 Trista thinks that the whole thing with

Speaker 12 soap opera.

Speaker 12 It's marriage couple counseling, trying to make it work after three

Speaker 12 efforts, and that Giannis is just going to stay there and we're wasting our time talking about it.

Speaker 9 I don't believe in marriage counseling. I told my wife years ago, if we ever get to a place where you suggest we should go to marriage counseling, just give me a divorce.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 21 That's That's wait. Hold on, hold on.
Stop the segment. Don't do that.
What? Yeah. I think everyone, everyone in a healthy marriage, everyone in not a healthy marriage needs marriage counseling.

Speaker 9 No, I think therapy is good.

Speaker 6 Isn't that the same thing?

Speaker 9 Where we both go and we're explaining all the things that we're mad at each other about? No, that's not for me.

Speaker 12 Matthew Berry is here. It's unfortunate because I want to talk about this with Zaslow, but we don't have time.

Speaker 14 I'm running out of time. We need fantasy.

Speaker 12 We need him to make us some money.

Speaker 6 Matthew Berry.

Speaker 6 Roll Todd. Matthew Berry.
Roll tide. Matthew Berry.
Roll tide.

Speaker 6 Roll tide. That is right.

Speaker 25 Roll tide, Dan.

Speaker 25 My son's a junior there. Roll tied.
Big game for us tonight.

Speaker 25 I don't think Elkaoma beats him for a second time. Here's what else I think, Dan.
That since taking over this starter, Jacoby Brissett is the fifth best quarterback in fantasy football.

Speaker 25 He's had at least 18 points in all nine of his starts. And under Brissette, no team in the NFL has a higher pass rate than the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 25 And four of the last five quarterbacks to face Atlanta have scored at least 19 fantasy points. Since week nine, the eighth best quarterback in fantasy is Jared Goff.

Speaker 25 Over that stretch, he's averaging 290 passing yards per game. Over that stretch, only Matthew Stafford has more touchdown passes than Goff, not counting last night.

Speaker 25 By the way, the last six quarterbacks to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have all scored at least 18 fantasy points.

Speaker 25 And since week eight, no team has given more passing yards per game than the Buccaneers. They're playing Bryce Young, so let's not get crazy.

Speaker 25 I have Young at Quick quarterback 20, but I'm just saying you could do worse if you're desperate than Bryce Young this week.

Speaker 25 By the way, Bucky Irving's had at least 17 touches in every game he's played this season.

Speaker 25 I mentioned the touches because seven of the nine running backs that have seen at least 15 touches against the Panthers have scored at least 16 fantasy points.

Speaker 25 Since week eight, by the way, Panthers bottom five in rushing yards per game and yards per carry allowed to running backs.

Speaker 25 In each of his past three healthy games, Tyrone Tracy has finished as a top 13 running back. He's averaging over 19 points a game in those games.

Speaker 25 Vikings have allowed an opposing running back to score in seven of their last eight.

Speaker 25 You're not going to get this one, Dan, but believe it or not, since week 11, the eighth best running back in fantasy football is Kenneth Gainwell.

Speaker 25 He scored at least 16 fantasy points in four of the last five games. He's averaging 18 points per game.
He's got a 16% target share.

Speaker 25 That's fifth among all running backs, and the over-under in the Steelers-Lions game is 52.5 as of this moment. That's the highest on the week 16 slate.

Speaker 25 Speaking of that game, since week nine, Jamison Williams, the sixth best wide receiver in fantasy, he's at at least 16 fantasy points, sixth of the last seven.

Speaker 25 He's had three straight games with a 26% target share or more. Steelers allow the seventh highest completion rate on passes of 15 plus air yards or more.

Speaker 25 I like Jamison Williams Williams over on his longest reception on Sunday. Only the Dallas Cowboys have given more touchdowns to opposing wide receivers than the Detroit Lions,

Speaker 25 just so you know as well. In the first game back last week, Mike Evans had a 37.5% target share targeted on 43% of his routes.

Speaker 25 Panthers have allowed at least 18 plus fantasy points to an opposing wide receiver in four of the last five. How about this one? Over the last two games, Dallas Goddard has a 30% target share.

Speaker 25 And only two teams in the NFL have allowed more touchdowns to opposing tight ends than my beloved Washington Commanders. Give me an anytime touchdown for Dallas Goddard.

Speaker 25 They've also given up at least 10 fantasy points to a tight end in seven of the past eight. Last one now, we talk about tight ends against the Bengals.

Speaker 25 That's the only team that gets the Cincinnati Bengals have allowed 15 touchdowns to opposing tight ends this year. That's five more than any other team.
Five more.

Speaker 25 Darren Waller has seen 58% of Miami's end zone targets when he's healthy.

Speaker 15 So give me Darren Waller for an anytime touchdown week as well.
