[23] Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings.

[24] Why are you listening to this show?

[25] The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast.

[26] I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.

[27] In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.

[28] I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.

[29] That hasn't happened to you guys?

[30] I've done it.

[31] And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.

[32] David Samson is with us now, and he's the host of nothing personal.

[33] He's on live on an assortment of other things that aren't related to our things at 8 a .m. Live Eastern.

[34] It looks like Tony Saragusa.

[35] I mean, Goose.

[36] Pam Oliver.

[37] He's so good.

[38] Jason Jackson would like a word.

[39] Michael Bubla is in this thing also.

[40] Jason Jackson would not like.

[41] a word because he says too many words to fit within the confinements of a sideline reporter.

[42] That's why they hired a hot young sideline reporter for the Miami Heat.

[43] Oh, yeah, new one?

[44] You've been fired?

[45] I'll go.

[46] David, what do you make, before we get started in earnest here, of the changing sports media landscape that has Peyton Manning wanting to make a musical with his brother because them and McAfee and Shannon Sharp.

[47] They all want to use ESPN to build an empire while Tom Brady uses Fox to build his content empire.

[48] Well, everyone's trying to get paid first as opposed to doing the work and then getting paid for the work.

[49] So it's like development deals in Hollywood, which used to be a big thing.

[50] They would pay people to come up with ideas and then said, well, wait a minute, we're not getting enough good ideas.

[51] Let's get rid of some of these development deals because our stock price is so low, and let's just wait for people to develop their own stuff and then buy what we like.

[52] And what the mannings are doing, it's actually a great plan.

[53] It started actually with him doing commercials when he decided that he wanted to get out in front of his post -career life, whether it was for money, for fame, for ego, or for boredom.

[54] And then he's parlayed that into working very hard, like McAfee does, like we all do here at Meta -Ark, where he does the Manning cast and now you realize that in order to really get paid a multiple of all of your ventures you have to have a bunch of different ventures so much like you're talking about being on so many different platforms and making a joke of what they are and can't remember this is all part of building your company in order to make it more valuable and that's what the mannings are doing what exactly is going on with Venue Sports what's the snag there venue sports is a They're in trouble.

[55] Venue Sports was invented by three different companies as a sports tier.

[56] And it didn't involve CBS.

[57] It involved Warner Brothers, who is going to lose the NBA, but they're in a lawsuit.

[58] And it involved Murdoch and Fox.

[59] And they're trying to figure out, how can we get someone to give us 45 bucks a month to get channels that you can get somewhere else in order to make it easier to find sports?

[60] And then Edgar Bronfman, Edgar Bronfman, remember that name, who happened.

[61] to be the Seagrams guy, who happens to be the one who tried to buy CBS, but it didn't work.

[62] And that's why Skydance has it.

[63] Edgar Bronfman has the same thing called Fubo, which are we on Fubo Stugats?

[64] Did you write that down?

[65] I have no idea.

[66] I have Fubo, though.

[67] I had the free trial.

[68] That's how they get you.

[69] Mr. Free trial.

[70] I'm certain not paying for it every month.

[71] I mean.

[72] Nobody remembers to cancel except Stugots.

[73] He takes the free trials and has to be.

[74] has a spreadsheet.

[75] The most disorganized guy in the world knows exactly when to cancel so he doesn't have to pay for anything.

[76] That is absolutely on brand and tracks perfectly.

[77] But Venue Roy is this tier.

[78] And Fubo said, wait a minute, this is a violation of antitrust.

[79] This isn't fair.

[80] You're not able to do this tier.

[81] This is getting in the way of us trying to do our own sports tiers.

[82] and a judge actually agreed and a judge granted an injunction which meant venue couldn't even start they were going to start in August and now there's lawsuits and all sorts of things happening and we don't know where this ends except I think I do venue's going to disappear.

[83] So is this a similar thing to when Disney got regional sports networks and they had to give it up because of a monopoly?

[84] That's one of the greatest things that's not even talked about enough because those regional sports networks are all bankrupt now.

[85] And what Disney did in a fit of forced brilliance is they were told by the Department of Justice that they had to sell out those networks.

[86] And they found a buyer at a ridiculously overinflated price.

[87] And it is funny.

[88] What the Department of Justice does is they try to help us, the consumer.

[89] They try to keep prices down, keep people being competitive.

[90] I'm not sure they're doing great in the airline industry, but we can talk about that later.

[91] So they're looking at all.

[92] all these different deals and different ways to stop these deals from happening.

[93] And one of the things that they will look at when there is this consolidation in the streaming world where we're trying to get on all the different streamers wondering who's going to win at the end of the day is anytime mergers happen, the DOJ looks and says, we don't think that this is good.

[94] And that's what they said to Disney that forced them to sell those networks.

[95] David, what is the, say, financial return of a show or a comedic entity, making a musical.

[96] I'm going to say close to zero.

[97] When you are asked, let me give you one quick bit of advice.

[98] If you're asked, I'm sorry, to invest in a Broadway show or a movie, here's an idea.

[99] Don't do it.

[100] Well, you say that as we build a content company that makes movies.

[101] I want to make, Dan.

[102] If I'm making it, I can make the money.

[103] if you're asked to be a limited partner sort of like being a limited partner in any business be very careful just be very very careful so I will explain to the peacock audience here that David Samson does a podcast every day nothing personal and while it covers a lot of ground the best ground it covers and he does this with John Skipper and Pablo Tori as well on the sporting class as part of our Levitard and Friends Network is no one has a grasp for the complexities of what is happening in sports business right and covers it better, than this person, and especially when he's with Skipper and Pablo, because they've done the work to know and be informed on business subject matter.

[104] And the reason I bring all that up is, while we're in the content business, one of the things that I find hugely fascinating about Pat McAfee kicking down the door on Disney and Iger coming out and saying, and I need the mannings too, I need to evolve this thing, is the fact that when Tom Cruise and Will Smith, I'm reading Will Smith's autobiography right now, no one understands how hard those human beings had to work and have to work to be the biggest movie star in the world.

[105] No one understands how hard Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and LeBron James had to work to be the things they are.

[106] They are insistent on being those things now with Disney's money and Hollywood's money because they're in the making things business but it's hard to make them well.

[107] It's not hard to make them.

[108] Untold has fallen apart because it's not hard to make them.

[109] It's hard to make them consistently well.

[110] And so when Manning and Brady and LeBron and McAfee and Shannon Sharp and all of these people are fighting with each other with Disney's money and they're trying to run off the journalists.

[111] And Stephen A. Smith is saying, hey, wait a minute.

[112] Journalism still matters.

[113] And McAfee's going to ESPN and saying, no, it doesn't.

[114] Because you rent now.

[115] You don't own me. You rent.

[116] What are you interested in there, David, when people are fighting over.

[117] These giants of sport are fighting over the money that Disney has to give away to keep up.

[118] The number one thing is that owning your own intellectual property, that is the most important thing in today's media world, owning your feed, owning your audience, and I say that in the nicest, best possible way, because that leads to portability.

[119] And like free agency in sports, that is the way to make the most money when you are a free agent and you own.

[120] own your talent and you can bring with you an existing turnkey, big operation, you get paid multiples of what you're worth, then you can reinvest that money and diversify your revenue streams.

[121] That's what all these people are doing, and we're doing it too at Metal Arc. Well, that's what Metal Arc is.

[122] Like, I don't believe that ESPN knew the value of giving us our intellectual property.

[123] We're in this fight with these people because Disney gave us that to get out.

[124] Maybe they're just being nice.

[125] no no no maybe they just wanted to get rid of us no no no they actually made a business deal but you made a better one yeah yeah paid for it one zero yeah i mean they did want to get rid of us though yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah a little dicey at the end it was a little dicey at the end uh yeah they wanted to get rid of chris cody uh well they did they didn't get rid of him and then the joke was on us he was an employee longer than the rest of us uh -huh Chris Cody, you understand.

[126] I just want people to...

[127] Don't blame the kid for the divorce, okay?

[128] I'm not blaming the kid.

[129] It might have been the final straw, but this was not a marriage that was flourishing.

[130] The kid is not being blamed for the divorce.

[131] They feel resentments from a lot of people in this room and it arrives with Schmilly.

[132] Okay.

[133] The resentment is because you've climbed to the executive producer chair because we've decided we're going to fight Tom Brady and Lernery.

[134] LeBron and Peyton Manning with Chris Cody.

[135] There would be no resentment if you just gave Billy Disney vouchers, Dan.

[136] That's all it is.

[137] Just give him some Disney vouchers.

[138] Billy, all right, it's a start because I'll negotiate with your next contract.

[139] I'll fill it with Disney vouchers.

[140] You know what, Billy?

[141] Well, we did get those guest passes and there was coupons for 20 % off.

[142] I got a deal for you, Billy.

[143] Oh, I don't know.

[144] All of your God bless football pay is in Disney passes.

[145] As many as you want for yourself.

[146] That's no passes.

[147] You didn't keep any Disney friends?

[148] I still got a few.

[149] I don't like asking people for things.

[150] I do it all the time.

[151] I hate asking people for things.

[152] I love you, Randy.

[153] I'm glad we've got an expert in these matters.

[154] Hey, David, I do want to ask you, I'm a loyal DirecTV subscriber, and lo and behold, I can't get ESPN.

[155] I canceled.

[156] Or any other Disney own channels.

[157] You really canceled?

[158] I canceled.

[159] Yeah, I want to watch the U .S. Open.

[160] I want to watch college football.

[161] I get home.

[162] Direct TV doesn't have a. ESPN.

[163] It's driving me crazy.

[164] I canceled.

[165] I couldn't watch the U .S. Open either.

[166] David, is this the largest kind of conflict between a content provider and a content distributor that you can remember?

[167] No, there was one just as big last year with Charter, and it ended right as the NFL season was starting.

[168] And, Stu, I want to really dig into that.

[169] You actually called DirecTV and canceled all of DirecTV, and what did you do to get ESPN?

[170] So I signed up for YouTube TV.

[171] I now have ESPN.

[172] I have it there.

[173] I had to get the NFL Sunday ticket anyway.

[174] So I just decided to go full YouTube.

[175] And once this charter disagreement is gone, are you going to get DirecTV back?

[176] Or are you now permanently done with DirecTV?

[177] I think I'm permanently done with DirecTV.

[178] As long as I can get the FBI shows on YouTube TV, I'm good.

[179] I mean.

[180] Isn't that all that's happening, David, throughout?

[181] Like, sports fans are trying to keep up with the new normal, which is I'm going to have to start canceling a bunch of stuff because I'm not going to have all.

[182] I just don't understand, David, how all of this is so sloppy, all of it, that it makes it so that all of these entities have to go find their oil wells elsewhere and double dip on stuff and make the customer go and now chase it around because the money has all changed the way that we're used to doing things.

[183] Boy, Dan, you're the king of the slop, though.

[184] You know exactly when you're trying to do something different and new that it's going to be sloppy and there's going to be twist.

[185] turns, fits, stops, and starts that may last three and a half years.

[186] So there's a complete, what some are calling an existential crisis, including the people at DirecTV are saying that.

[187] There's a misunderstanding about what is happening in the world and Disney does not want to acknowledge it.

[188] And that is the fight.

[189] ESPN wants to get paid what they've always been paid by DirecTV.

[190] And DirecTV is saying, no, we can't pay you that amount anymore.

[191] It's a brand new world.

[192] And as a consumer, we are paying.

[193] not less for cutting the cord and for getting rid of cable.

[194] Like Stu, do the math.

[195] You got rid of DirecTV.

[196] I know you do the math.

[197] God knows if you don't do that, you're doing nothing about how much you're paying per month when you get rid of DirecTV, but add YouTube TV, add the streamers that you need to get football.

[198] And my guess is you're going to be exactly where you were with cable or even a little higher.

[199] I'm going to be just about exactly, within a few dollars, pretty much where I was with just DirecTV.

[200] which is amazing.

[201] I mean, I'm thrilled about it, you know?

[202] That's awesome that you're thrilled.

[203] Most consumers were hoping to actually get less, pay less money to get just what they want.

[204] And it turns out that all this bundling and going back to venue, it's all about bundling again.

[205] We're actually going full circle back to what really was cable.

[206] It's quite unbelievable.

[207] What's the movie you're reviewing for us this week?

[208] I just wanted to spend a minute and I reviewed this on nothing personal, but I wanted this morning, but I wanted to do it here as well.

[209] I wanted to talk about Pearl Jam and Pearl Jam 20.

[210] I had a chance to go to the Pearl Jam concert last night at Madison Square Garden and make it back, of course, to do the live show at 8 o 'clock.

[211] And there's a documentary by Cameron Crow called Pearl Jam 20.

[212] And it was their 20th anniversary.

[213] And I did not know the provenance of Pearl Jam and how Eddie Vedder got to the band.

[214] I wasn't really aware of their backstory and what they've done and how they've done it.

[215] And Cameron Crow is one of my.

[216] if not my favorite movie maker.

[217] He's done singles and Jerry McGuire and almost famous, et cetera.

[218] So I would encourage you to watch Pearl Jam 20.

[219] And if you can see Eddie Veteran in concert, I would also encourage that.

[220] David, good seeing you.

[221] Thank you.

[277] Well, you've announced it.

[278] You've made it official.

[279] I have, yeah.

[280] It's official.

[281] Jessica, it's not official that Notre Dame is back.

[282] It's official that the U is back, though.

[283] Because Notre Dame never left.

[284] Speaking of back, for a 20th consecutive year, we are also back.

[285] That's right.

[286] Supposed to do that yesterday.

[287] Yeah, well, weekend observations are late sometimes.

[288] And on Thursday, you know what else is back, Dan?

[289] I do not.

[290] Sundays.

[299] Do you guys think he looked cool doing that?

[300] It's like what Chris said about that song giving him goosebumps because the Panthers one.

[301] It's not because the song is good.

[302] It's because the feeling is good.

[303] I mean, he's going to be a little cry baby if someone puts the U down.

[304] They are you disrespect.

[305] And it's like, okay, idiot.

[306] I mean, he's a bit of a caveman.

[307] Like, he's a football caveman.

[308] No one answered my question.

[309] It's yes or no. That's a no. No, I liked it, but I'm a shame that I liked it.

[310] Fair enough.

[311] That's what it's like to be a Notre Dame fan, too.

[312] I know it's only been a week, but the early favorite for the coveted college football executive of the year award has to be, Mike Ryan.

[313] it does oh yeah I mean he got Cam Ward he did get Cam Ward if you're not familiar with our show we're not making up the fact that Miami is kind of being run the NIL initiative by our used to be our executive producer I don't totally understand but I think we just bought our way to the top of college football legally legally it was allowed which is a new thing no one we're using Highline money executive of the year I mean am I wrong After one week.

[314] We also spent money as a show on Tyler Van Dyke's NIL deal.

[315] And then yesterday, Mike said that he wasn't good.

[316] We spent some poor money at the beginning.

[317] That's a learning curve.

[318] Well said.

[319] Baseball.

[320] Thanks for bridging the gap.

[321] See you next year.

[322] Dan, you know what the B and baseball stands for?

[357] Love you, fans.

[358] Our customers.

[359] It's a tough top five.

[360] I thought it was just going to be money.

[361] If I'm being honest, and usually I'm not, I have no idea if the Gators are good.

[362] Therefore, I have no idea if the Keynes win was the most impressive win of the weekend.

[363] Truth is, none of us do.

[364] We don't know if Florida is good, but I do feel.

[365] feel like everyone in the room would agree that no matter how bad Florida is, Miami's quarterback can play quarterback.

[366] I feel like that we can answer no matter who he's playing against.

[367] Against Florida.

[368] Well, okay, so you don't, okay, so just to be clear, you're not sure that Miami's quarterback, Cam Ward can play quarterback.

[369] Correct, but I know they're back.

[370] I mean, okay, you're not sure of that.

[371] They don't have a ranked team on their schedule the rest of the season.

[372] They're going to the playoffs.

[373] I mean, Louisville.

[374] Could be.

[375] Could be.

[376] Could be pretty good this year.

[377] Look, they're good for Mario screwing up two of them.

[378] Aren't they now?

[379] And NC State.

[380] I don't know if they play them, but they're also ranked.

[381] But they're going to play this weekend against Tennessee, so they may drop.

[382] Dan, you know what the H. and Travis Hunter stands for?

[383] Heisman.

[384] It stands for holy shits.

[385] Guy is good, man. Yes, he is.

[386] Football on True TV.

[387] I'm in.

[388] Are we on True TV?

[389] No. Soon.

[390] Give us time.

[391] But we're on Max, which also is tied to True TV.

[392] And Charhood.

[393] And Charhood.

[394] Somehow, Pat McAfee on game day made Johnny Mansell look sane.

[395] Things you think about on your couch on a gummy after a day of football.

[396] I can't imagine Scott Van Pelt ever having hair.

[397] I got him with the long locks looking like Fabio.

[398] Really?

[399] Yeah.

[400] Yeah, Golden Locks on Scott Van Pelt.

[401] I can't see it.

[402] Top knot.

[403] Nah.

[404] Wouldn't work.

[405] Like on a stallion?

[406] Like riding a white horse?

[407] Yes, and a shirt open.

[408] A white unbuttoned shirt.

[409] I don't think any of us are doing what you're doing right now.

[410] He definitely doing that, man. Back when he's on Golf Network.

[411] If he had hair.

[412] He had hair?

[413] Yeah.

[414] Mike Alco.

[415] Looks like he can cook a mean set of ribs.

[416] my set of ribs does he not you called him ugly I did not call him ugly to his face I said in comparison to Marcus Freeman he is ugly because in comparison the Marcus Freeman everyone is ugly you got to pick and choose who you do that game with though you actually asked him if he knew he was ugly is what you actually asked him chumming it up I mean you were asking him like I'm not breaking this news to you right Elko you might win the game you're not going to win best looking coach on the sideline I mean not in that game I mean maybe maybe another game.

[417] It was also like question three.

[418] Like there was no rapport built at that point.

[419] Yeah.

[420] Right in.

[421] Still.

[422] Stop the music, please.

[423] And I want to examine this for just a second.

[424] And you guys tell me, because this was wildly uncomfortable.

[425] And I'm telling you that the funniest part of it is the camera panning to Elko and how he actually looks.

[426] Like if any of you are being introduced to how Mike Elko looks, this is so wildly inappropriate.

[427] And it's also exactly why you, you should listen to God bless football.

[428] You know, you might win the game, but you're not going to win best -looking coach, okay?

[429] Like, you know that, right?

[430] What are you talking about?

[431] What is that question?

[432] The guy who grows to sign that, Mike, you know?

[433] I thought that competition was still wide open.

[434] What a cut by Danny Benitez there.

[435] Great job by him.

[436] Mike Elko.

[437] You go, Danny B, yeah.

[438] Mike Elko, two years older than I am.

[439] He looks like he's like my dad.

[440] It's impossible to think that that human being is under 50 years old.

[441] I'd be shocked if that's what your dad looks like.

[442] You know, Ed Audraun used to be a coach, right?

[443] Active.

[444] I think Mike was tailgating with him this week.

[445] Mike's running college football.

[446] Mike is running all of college football.

[447] And he's going to be in a mission impossible.

[448] Is he?

[449] Documentary.

[450] Dan Patrick and Dan Lebitard.

[451] A couple of Dan's.

[452] On the cock.

[453] Come on.

[454] What happened there?

[455] We're going to get dropped before the week is out.

[456] We are.

[457] They're not going to let us keep doing that.

[458] It wasn't even the line.

[459] You changed it.

[460] You know what they say?

[461] If you have two Dan's, you don't have one.

[462] No, you have two.

[463] I found out Bill O 'Brien was the head coach of Boston College when I turned the game on last night.

[464] That was two nights ago.

[465] I was supposed to do these yesterday.

[466] I did it.

[467] night, two nights ago.

[468] Congratulations to Bill.

[469] We got the job.

[470] Put it on the poll, Juju, at Lebitard show.

[471] Did you find out Bill O 'Brien was B .C.'s Coach on Monday night?

[472] Watching Notre Dame and Texas A &M and Dan, Abby did the thing.

[473] Fifth time, she's ever done it.

[474] Camera scrolled over to Marcus Freeman.

[475] She looked at me with a sudden interest in the game and said, who's that?

[476] Five times your wife has?

[477] had that feeling yes what are the other times uh salad was the last time oh yeah robert salla good looking guy was it jonathan coachman as well uh coach and max brados yeah oh yeah shout to max i miss it me too we're still on max yeah hey and the cock a couple of dance they're going to make us stop doing that i'm going to get a call from corporate a sternly worded email i mean for sure Stop calling us cock.

[478] Two days in, you can't keep saying we're on the cock.

[479] There's just no way I'm not going to get a call on that.

[480] Mr. Lebit Todd, we received an email, and you need to tell your crew to stop making that joke.

[481] Fake skipper's funny.

[482] Stash this away in the something the ponder file.

[483] Does Marcus Freeman wear those shirts to show off his body?

[484] Or would any shirt show off his body?

[485] He actually said in his Monday press conference he called an audible on that outfit right before the game.

[486] he changed his mind about what he was going to wear and went with that.

[487] There's also this thing going on where Marcus Freeman has a bunch of clothes that are not available to the public, like they create his own custom apparel for the sideline.

[488] How do you feel about the blatant and unusual objectification of Notre Dame's coach?

[489] It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

[490] At no point in my lifetime did I think anyone would be objectifying Lou Holtz?

[491] Well, Dan, I think to answer your question, Notre Dame fans are so desperate for people to be like, hey, Notre Dame football, kind of cool.

[492] Very likable head coach, especially after the Brian Kelly era, that everyone has kind of, they're okay with it.

[493] If you're talking about Notre Dame football and saying something good, even if it is objectifying the head coach, it's like, all right, well, this is better than what happened from 2010 to 2021.

[494] Ty Willingham crawled so that Freeman could walk.

[495] Yeah.

[496] I got chills watching Nick Sabin breakdown film.

[497] Hey, Lucy, I get it.

[498] If I was an Iowa fan, I'd go to any other game as well.

[499] The only defense that could stop Cade McNamara is Kirk Ferrence.

[500] It's criminal how easy Scotty Schaeffler is making golf look.

[501] Too soon?

[502] For context, Scotty Sheffler's caddy would be 20th on the PGA Tour's money list.

[503] Think about that.

[504] Is Caddy?

[505] He's made over $5 million.

[506] And tips?

[507] The average tour players made $1 .8 million.

[508] at this point of the year.

[509] He's made over five.

[510] Stugats was very frustrated yesterday, and I hope we can get to it at some point during the show.

[511] He says he's got a full segment on Sheffler, like that he can talk nonstop for 12 minutes, he said.

[512] Dan, I've always said, nobody just strolls into Vanderbilt Stadium that's still under construction and walks out alive.

[513] That is so Vanderbilt to have a stadium that's not complete yet.

[514] it's not vander built finally a good one finally a good one finally a good one not good enough for no your judgment's off imagine a duke football fan watching Texas A &M and Notre Dame play with their former coach and their former quarterback I should have stopped that imagine a Duke football fan good one Taylor he hates Duke Dan, on Twitter, apologize for how obnoxious Mike Ryan is going to be.

[515] Hey, Dan, how's that different from any other week?

[516] Florida, if you thought Saturday was rock bottom, I'd advise you to take a peek at your November schedule.

[517] Georgia, Texas, LSU, Mississippi, Florida State.

[518] Oh, my God.

[519] That seems like a long season.

[520] Are they good?

[521] They'd have to be to win any of those games except the Florida State one.

[522] What streaming service is Owen 11 Florida State and O 'N11 Florida are going to be out?

[523] We should get it.

[524] We should put in a bit.

[525] Put Woody on the call, Billy on color, I'll do sideline.

[526] It'd be great.

[527] What about me?

[528] You're on sideline, huh?

[529] I'll leave again.

[530] Carolina's kicker, Noah Burnett, doesn't have blood in his veins, only ice.

[531] Taylor Why are we doing ice in the veins?

[532] For Carolina kicker, Taylor.

[533] Can you edit these some?

[534] Yes.

[535] You never feel more alive than when the chain gang comes out for a fourth down measurement.

[536] Good shout.

[537] Thank you.

[538] That was a terrible call, by the way.

[539] He had the first down.

[540] Do you guys do what I do or you try to predict?

[541] I can tell.

[542] When they're running out, I'm the first one to be like, nope, not enough.

[543] A couple inches short.

[544] My favorite is when we don't need the chains, but they still bring them out.

[545] We know it's a first down.

[546] Come on.

[547] Waste of time.

[548] Yeah.

[549] But I do feel alive when they come out.

[550] The chain gang barely survived.

[551] They weren't going to do it again this season.

[552] They had the technology, but they are going to do it again.

[553] The NFL is still going to have a chain gang to do measurements.

[554] Angel Reese set the new WMBA rebound record.

[555] 95 % of those rebounds were off of her own misses.

[556] Jokes from Twitter last weekend.

[557] She really built that record, brick by brick.

[558] Not true.

[559] Here come the Mets.

[560] Oh, no. No. The Metropolitan's.

[561] There's a long snapper, Dan, on Michigan State with the last name, Carson Wentz.

[562] That's it.

[563] Kirk Herb Street's dog is the sister gene of dogs.

[564] We get it.

[565] Oh, no. He's a cute dog.

[566] Enough.

[567] Well, no, but Herb Street's getting real flack now on his dog.

[568] He thought it was cute once upon a time, but now the internet has turned on him.

[569] Good.

[570] Miller Moss might be the real deal.

[571] You know what the M and Miller Moss stands for?

[572] Might be.

[573] How'd you not get that one?

[574] I'm sorry, we ran out of music.

[575] It's going too long, and we don't have any music anymore.

[576] Georgia Tech.

[577] Yes.

[578] The rare 2 -0 team.

[579] after week one.

[580] Here's some math, Dan.

[581] Two wins, plus zero losses.

[582] Equals number one team in the country.

[583] Damn right.

[584] Leading the league.

[585] Florida State.

[586] The rare 0 .2 team.

[587] After week one.

[588] I mean, when's the last time you felt this good about your Georgia Tech football team?

[589] Last year, it would be Miami.

[590] Hey, Dabo.

[591] Might want to consider the transfer portal.

[592] Look what Georgia did to Clemson.

[593] think about what they would do to Boise State, 12 -team playoff, please.

[594] All a 12 -team playoff does is prolong the career of James Franklin.

[595] He's got a blizzard on offense.

[596] Penn State, Georgia.

[597] I don't know what happened here.

[598] Taylor wrote it wrong.

[599] Your notes.

[600] They're not my notes.

[601] I said Taylor the notes is a typo, and he wrote.

[602] this one wrong.

[603] Georgia would beat the hell out of Penn State.

[604] Speaking of hell, Arp.

[605] Riles, Dan, those are the weekend observations, Taylor.

[606] Yeah, you getting the ending wrong.

[607] Just a lashing out there.

[608] Just blaming someone else.

[609] Did he write Blake Shelton too?

[610] He wrote, please, Penn State, Georgia.

[611] Look, 20 years.

[612] Look, if this is not Thank you, I mean, because I had to cross out like 10 of his.

[613] Let me explain to you what Stugats has given us here at the end of 20 years.

[614] Let me explain to you.

[615] Those were good observations, Dan.

[616] They were.

[617] The U is back.

[618] Taylor wrote them.

[619] No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, the good ones you wrote, the bad ones, Taylor wrote.

[620] Listen, I gave Taylor his credit on the one that he wrote that I went with, the kicker.

[621] I will tell you that the joke that you had on Norvell that was good, that while you made it, I heard from the video room, that's not how it was written.

[622] He originally did not write it that way.

[623] It was written better for him.

[624] That's what I got in my ear.

[625] Taylor wrote it the wrong way.

[626] I made the edits.

[627] That's how we, listen, I'm trying to teach Taylor.

[628] He's a young kid trying to come up in this industry, and that's what I'm all about helping the young kids, Dan.

[629] And I am trying to help this guy out.

[630] He writes them.

[631] He gives me a base to work with, and then I make him funny.

[632] The one that you're talking about, Dan, he wrote a couple of Dan's peacocking it up, and Stugats changed it to a more vulgar version of that.

[633] Thank you.

[634] Billy, what was the face that you were just making?

[635] Well, it's just so rude to Taylor.

[636] Taylor has his own problems.

[637] He doesn't need you adding on to them.

[638] He has his own deficiencies here.

[639] But here's the other thing that I want to ask you.

[640] me and I'm helping him.

[641] He gave this to you hours ago.

[642] You could have read it before you were reading it on air and caught this.

[643] You know what?

[644] I did.

[645] That's why I made some edits.

[646] I didn't get to the last one.

[647] I mean, what I was saying...

[648] I trust him on Hal Larp Ryles.

[649] It's an easy joke.

[650] Look, I will just tell the audience, look, it's a goddamn miracle we got to 20 years, all right?

[651] A miracle.

[652] And what we're getting at the end of those 20 years from Stugantz is about the punctuation you heard on that segment, which is someone else writing it for him, him flubbing the line, and then blaming the other and telling us he's teaching it.

[653] Like, that is you blaming a producer for you not doing your job well.

[654] That's what just happened there.

[655] And?

[656] You reading that and telling us that Taylor is writing it for you when you're the one that is responsible for the observations is an amazing way to start at Peacock with our new partners.

[657] I am paying this kid good money to not make mistakes.

[658] I mean, that's what I'm doing.

[659] And I'm trying to help him out.

[660] I mean, a little extra coin in his pocket and I'm teaching him the ropes.

[661] I mean, I am showing Taylor how to get it done in this industry.

[662] I mean, what else do you want from me, man, team player?

[663] Got a couple of months to go.

[664] Creating jobs for young up -and -coming talent.

[665] Your job, but jobs nonetheless.

[666] That's what I try to do.

[667] Yeah.

[668] Since when it's good money, zero dollars?

[669] Zero dollars, please.

[670] I wish.

[671] You're paying Taylor?

[672] Yeah, that's what he just said.

[673] That's what he's alleged.

[674] Who else is going to do my job?

[675] You're actually paying Taylor?

[676] You're telling him you're going to pay him and then doing what you did to Billy with Sports bang and not paying.

[677] You're actually paying Taylor?

[678] I pay Taylor, you know, once in a while I'll have to remind me. But for the most part, he has gotten these payments on time.

[679] I ain't proud of that.

[680] Taylor's very persistent.

[681] He's no Billy Gill in that sense.

[682] He will hound Stugat's until he gets his money.

[683] I mean, the second I drive out of here on a Monday.

[684] I mean, Jesus.

[685] But why are you paying Taylor instead of us paying Taylor?

[686] No, we should not pay.

[687] Taylor gets paid to do his job.

[688] Sugatz is giving him extra work that is not his job.

[689] That's why Stugats is paid.

[690] Are you offering to pay Taylor?

[691] Oh, my God.

[692] We're not going to give my job.

[693] Feel free.

[694] No. I just realized this is what Stugats has been doing for 20 years.

[695] Yeah, it's a pyramid scheme.

[696] The whole company's a pair.

[697] Well, don't say that.

[698] There's investors.

[699] It is called MLM.

[700] Yeah.

[701] I mean, Taylor offered, if I'm being honest.

[702] And I can't.

[703] They's been doing that for 20 years, telling people who pay them something off on the side and then not paying them.

[704] Howdy folks, it is Mike Ryan, and over the course of our 20 years together, there have been a lot of changes, a lot of changes to the show, a lot of changes to my body, a lot of changes to you and your listening habits, but one thing that hasn't changed is the undebatable great taste of Miller Light.

[705] Another thing that hasn't changed, it's less filling.

[706] So what is the best thing about the original light beer?

[707] Miller Light sparked this debate way back in 1975, and we still haven't seen.

[708] settled it.

[709] You can understand why the debate rages on.

[710] Great taste versus less filling.

[711] But why not have both?

[712] That's what Miller Light presents in that beautiful white can, a light beer that actually tastes like beer.

[713] You don't have to choose what's best.

[714] Miller Light has great taste and is less filling.

[715] Taste like Miller Time.

[720] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family, and 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.

[721] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.

[722] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila.
