[38] Proximo.
[39] Jersey City, New Jersey.
[40] Please drink responsibly.
[41] I'm a little worried, Stugots, that Greg is going to screw all this up.
[42] What do you mean?
[43] He just doesn't know.
[44] He just doesn't know.
[45] Like, look, we're not, we make a lot of mistakes.
[46] For example, Chris, you want to play the Shadow Show thing or did you forget?
[47] Did you just forget?
[48] We were rolling here.
[49] I mean, Greg Cody was ready.
[50] You forgot?
[51] Okay, can you play it?
[52] You started talking.
[53] Well, he was supposed to play it.
[54] I started talking because you heard the 5, 4, 3, 2 1.
[55] And he heard it too, but Shadow Show.
[56] Shadow Show.
[57] Shadow Show.
[58] So you were worried about Greg messing it up.
[59] That's right.
[60] Wow.
[61] How would I do?
[62] Well, we've got a big day today.
[63] And these Shadow Show people, many of them have been with us for a really long time.
[64] And we've got like a big announcement.
[65] Billy, how do you feel about the big announcement?
[66] I'm afraid that Greg, as is his want, will reveal the big announcement before the big announcement, thus thwarting the big announcement because he scoops Cody.
[67] I think he's going to make a mistake today.
[68] What big announcement?
[69] All right.
[70] So we should be okay then, unless you then say what it is, not knowing what it is.
[71] Right.
[72] That I'm more likely to expose the big announcement.
[73] Wait a minute.
[74] You really don't know what we're announcing today.
[75] Scoops Cody would normally, at a time before Scoops Cody became the big star that he is now, He -Haw 3.
[76] He used to care about Levitard show Scoops.
[77] Yeah, lead singer, hewere.
[78] This would be the biggest scoop he had since breaking my engagement story.
[79] Would it not?
[80] He hasn't had a scoop about our show in a while.
[81] Hmm.
[82] You haven't fed me one.
[83] Right.
[84] Feed me. I'm like a bird in a nest.
[85] This would be the biggest story since that, unless you're getting divorced, which...
[86] Was it that?
[87] Right.
[88] Wow.
[89] That'd be a good story.
[90] Well, not for Dan.
[91] See if we can let that happen.
[92] Right.
[93] Well, what do you mean?
[94] Like, I know the show has an anniversary coming up.
[95] I don't know when it is.
[96] It's right now.
[97] I mean, we're celebrating the anniversary now, but that's not the announcement.
[98] Oh, I didn't bring a cake.
[99] Sorry.
[100] You want to go out and get one?
[101] Yeah, I think I will.
[102] Carvel, please.
[103] With 25 candles on.
[104] or whatever well be too many but okay 15 you turn 70 right eventually god willing is it September 21st I think that's the date of the the celebration well when's the birthday though I mean you know it's it's an undisclosed date yeah prior to that September 10th I mean but dates here's the thing Greg knows as well as anyone else with leap years you know who really knows what date actually is exactly Days are just a construct of man, really.
[105] Is it a gag?
[106] Put it on the poll, please.
[107] Are days just a construct of man, really, question mark?
[108] That's a good point.
[109] Mm -hmm.
[110] This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.
[111] Today's episode is sponsored by Draft Kings.
[112] Stay tuned because you'll hear more about Draft Kings and all it has to offer throughout the show.
[113] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[114] You guys do realize that today, well, not really today, like Cody's birthday, three days after our actual anniversary, not on the day.
[115] You do realize that this is one of the most improbable stories in the history of sports media, that this jalopy full of shit would arrive at 20 years together.
[116] You understand how ridiculous and rare it is.
[117] Look at what surrounds me. at how it's aged.
[118] Yep.
[119] You're welcome.
[120] Not nice to say about Greg, but I understand.
[121] Greg, I can't believe you guys accurately executed, correctly executed a golden oldies thing while I was gone.
[122] Metal Arc Media accomplished something.
[123] All that had to happen for it to get accomplished is I had to leave.
[124] Where is that package?
[125] Is it ready?
[126] Because Jessica pinballed in here today.
[127] She is.
[128] You think the Cafacito gets to her college football, she inhales and snorts.
[129] Look at her.
[130] Her eyes are crossed from, like, she wants to talk.
[131] I think I could give, not enough for one minute.
[132] I think I could simply, like, uncaging a rodeo bowl.
[133] I could say Jessica talk about college football and she would not stop for 10 minutes.
[134] Dan, what a weekend.
[135] Oh, my God.
[136] I'm sitting in here with all the Keynes fans.
[137] Notre Dame had a great weekend.
[138] And we are going feral right now for college football.
[139] Can we set up a segment, Chris, please, before the end of the show where we give Jessica the room that there's no way she will have on a Monday with as many gas bags in here as there are and as many things as we have to do today because it's a giant day in our show's history and we've got a giant announcement and they're two different things.
[140] Like we are going to be celebrating our 20th anniversary all year, just maximum naval gazing.
[141] Mike, what can I tell them about the project that?
[142] is going to the content project that's going to accompany what's going to be a year -long celebration of one of the goofiest stories in the history of sports media.
[143] It really is.
[144] It's asinine that we have reached 20 years.
[145] I think you can tell them everything you want to, Dan, about that upcoming project that we're going to celebrate over the course of a year.
[146] It'll come out every two weeks, the first episode of what it is that we're going to do, and I'll let you take it away from there.
[147] It's just an oral history.
[148] Mike has been working very hard.
[149] You may not yet see the fruit of all the stuff that we've changed around here.
[150] In fact, I've heard all your complaints because of the battering everything has taken around here.
[151] But now it takes flight.
[152] Like today it takes flight.
[153] We're going to be able to get our audience all the things it's been missing for three and a half years because we've finally gotten our shit together because it's super hard to basically what we've been doing for three years.
[154] Hey, radio show, want to actually become a TV show?
[155] All right, do it while you're doing it.
[156] Good luck with all that.
[157] And you've seen what's happened.
[158] It's been pretty uncomfortable and pretty unpleasant.
[159] But last week, we executed a golden oldie thing.
[160] What we have not executed today, and I'm upset about this.
[161] I wanted BIPO today.
[162] Today is the day for people, because you haven't heard me in 25 years say the U is back, and I am not prisoner of moment on the U. But they got a quarterback, and that means they're back.
[163] Yeah, we'll see.
[164] Exactly right.
[165] In one game, it's the Gator.
[166] It's not a very good team.
[167] water bottle, things that there's basements in Florida, like, come on.
[168] Billy Napier's a disaster.
[169] We can agree on that.
[170] Terrible.
[171] Can we agree on that?
[172] Billy Napier.
[173] What are you doing?
[174] Can we argue Billy about the bigger disaster right now?
[175] Because Florida State, oh my God.
[176] What a disaster last night, too.
[177] Opening the season 0 and 2, somehow Boston College gets to say they beat the 10th ranked team in the country because there was no AP poll vote last week after week zero.
[178] Unbelievable.
[179] What a disaster for Florida State.
[180] The good thing about is more like it.
[181] He's right.
[182] about that.
[183] All right.
[184] Hold on a second.
[185] What happens?
[186] Hold on.
[187] Hold on.
[188] Sorry about that.
[189] What?
[190] Greg Cody, major penalty.
[191] Five minutes.
[192] Five minutes.
[193] He wasn't paying attention to anybody.
[194] He doesn't listen when other people are talking.
[195] He doesn't know where he is on Tuesday.
[196] I mean, small windows.
[197] He tried to squeeze a joke in.
[198] That's all.
[199] He wasn't.
[200] Florida.
[201] The joke was Florida stink.
[202] Am I right?
[203] Is it even a joke?
[204] He's right.
[205] He's replaced instead of Florida State.
[206] Right.
[207] We get it.
[208] It's a fact, though.
[209] Right.
[210] Florida steak.
[211] You heard steak too, right?
[212] I heard steak as well.
[213] Well, here's the thing, guys, and I think we can all agree on this, right?
[214] With the new format, if you're going to lose twice in a week, do it early.
[215] Yep.
[216] That's what you guys were saying last week.
[217] That was the FSU argument.
[218] Yes, it is a bit shocking to see Florida and FSU stink.
[219] However, I will say of Cam Ward before we go any further, because it's not just 20 -year -anniversary, and it's not just that we've got a big announcement.
[220] it's also, the University of Miami clearly has a quarterback.
[221] Like, even if it was easy against Stinky Florida, I will just simply tell you that what Cam Ward gave off more than anything was unhurried, and I haven't seen that at the position since Jacori Harris.
[222] Right.
[223] That's amazing that you just said that.
[224] He gave off poise.
[225] He gave off confidence.
[226] He's obviously a good player.
[227] It's not just Cam Ward, though.
[228] That entire team was terrific.
[229] But it helps when your quarterback moves around as, if you can see the confidence on him.
[230] Like, it's a super, your jets are going to have it this year if Aaron Rogers stays healthy.
[231] If.
[232] It's going to be a strange thing to watch in a jet's uniform.
[233] It's been a long time since we've seen Aaron Rogers be good.
[234] You just say it's the best thing since you Corey Harris?
[235] That was the joke, Billy.
[236] Thank you.
[237] Stay with us.
[238] What's going on?
[239] Why is Greg not sitting in a penalty box?
[240] Why is he sitting with Taylor dressed up as a gator and Ethan?
[241] Well, this is what's happened.
[242] This is what's happened today.
[243] the instigators the instigators came in today they bought all this stuff they were texting me all weekend Dan we want to be Lucy we want to buy all the stuff we want to have the toys we want to have the expense account we want to be the instigators and I'm like sure you can do that that'll be funny but they need they need to win oh so this was going to be to troll me yes okay yes they they also need the budget I mean right and to win but more than the budget they needed to win in order to do the characters of the instigators.
[244] They had all sorts of stuff playing.
[245] This was going to be their star vehicle.
[246] They were going to finally get on the show.
[247] Ethan, I get in today.
[248] Hey, Dan, I got a top five list.
[249] I don't give a f***.
[250] Why are you talking to me about your top five list, kid?
[251] You don't just get to have top five lists around here.
[252] You know how hard it is for Jessica to earn one of those?
[253] You know what really happened?
[254] He said, I have a top five list, and Stugatz goes, I have a good top five.
[255] That is what I said.
[256] That is what I said.
[257] Without even hearing it, that is what actually Stugat said.
[258] it right now?
[259] I do.
[260] All right.
[261] Let's go to it right now.
[262] Hey, Kid.
[263] Hey, Instigator, this is how it works to do a top five list that you have confidence in.
[264] What does it look like, Stugat?
[265] These are the top five things that were happening in sports when Cam McCormick, tight end for the University of Miami, started to play college football.
[266] How old is he?
[267] How old is he played?
[268] He's in his ninth season.
[269] It's nine season.
[270] Apparently, Game Day had a really impressive piece on.
[271] the young man and the narrative around him kind of changed, not necessarily on this show, which still takes the opportunity to laugh at him.
[272] But people really actually get to see that his story is an inspiring one.
[273] And I don't think people were familiar with everything that he'd overcome.
[274] They just think that he's Van Wilder.
[275] Stugatz, this is just top five things that happen in sports, not politics.
[276] So it doesn't include Donald Trump's inauguration in 2016, because that happened after he enrolled in college, apparently.
[277] Thank you, Jess, for clarifying, because it is top five things, mostly in sports, one outside of sports.
[278] Okay, it's a long name for a list.
[279] Hopefully at some point here we will get to Pippo the announcement and to celebrating our 20 year anniversary.
[280] I do want to talk about Florida.
[281] I do want to talk what a disaster Napier is because I read a report and please tell me it's true that he exchanged words with Albert the alligator that the guy in the costume that they were arguing.
[282] I got to find the source on this.
[283] I have it written down somewhere.
[284] You guys haven't heard this?
[285] Cost it.
[286] Was I faked out on this?
[287] I'm going to find the sourcing on this so it's not just me saying it or being full.
[288] Okay, let's see.
[289] It's the conquering hero on Twitter says that there were words between Albert the alligator and Napier.
[290] Is it true?
[291] No one knows.
[292] The alligator can talk.
[293] Is there a blue check next to the conquering hero?
[294] Yes.
[295] Oh, then you can trust it implicitly on that website.
[296] 100%.
[297] By the way, when you're down 38 to 10 at home headed into the fourth quarter and you're the gators, you've got to bail on the Tom Petty song.
[298] It's embarrassing.
[299] Don't do it.
[300] Pull the plug.
[301] I mean...
[302] Love that song.
[303] Back down.
[304] I know.
[305] I know.
[306] I You love the song, but if you're the Gators and the fans, you don't sing it, you don't do it.
[307] You pull the plug on the entire thing.
[308] You're down 28 to the Gaines at home.
[309] What are you doing?
[310] One of my favorite moments is being there with all those Keynes fans singing that song because we were pretty much the only people in that stadium singing that song.
[311] I have really pressured back channels to make sure that song is played at Miami Home Games.
[312] Henceforth, that's our song now.
[313] I didn't see anything funnier this weekend than Jay Norville, the coach for Colorado State, On the sideline, down 38 -0, still having some sad guy with a banner blocking his play calling.
[314] It's like you're down 38 -0, dude.
[315] I don't think they're checking your spirit.
[316] They're not working.
[317] He's a poor guy.
[318] Look, you know, he's just like, left, right, left, right.
[319] Try telling them the play.
[320] See if that works.
[321] Let's do this list from Stugats.
[322] These are things that were happening in the world the last time.
[323] Nine years, this kid, the tight end has been playing.
[324] Nine years, yeah.
[325] has been playing for nine years ago.
[326] Things that are happening in sports, but also one thing that happened in the world.
[327] Okay, thank you.
[328] Number five.
[329] Oh, well, I did.
[330] Oh, wow, I'm sorry.
[331] Yep.
[332] Obama was still president.
[333] The Cubs still hadn't broken the curse of the billy goat.
[334] Number five, Tom Brady was still a patriot.
[335] Number four, Philip Rivers was still a charger and had five seasons to go.
[336] How many kids, though?
[337] Not sure.
[338] That's where I thought you were going with five.
[339] And he only had five kids.
[340] Number three, Lamar Jackson, hadn't yet won the Heisman trophy.
[341] Number two, Peyton Manning won his second Super Bowl call by Jim Nance and Phil Sims because Tony Romo was still playing.
[342] And number one, Kevin Durant was still a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
[343] That's a top five.
[344] Ethan, you want to come in here and see if an instigator has a better top five?
[345] going to put monster pressure on you right now.
[346] Ethan was still in college.
[347] Instigator.
[348] He was still, he's ready.
[349] He's still smelled like embryonic fluid back when, back when Stucats was doing.
[350] My senior year of high school.
[351] All right, enough.
[352] Just give us the list.
[353] Let's move through this, okay?
[354] I don't want jazz hands here, instigator, yeah.
[355] Not a little lippy.
[356] Very comfortable in front of the microphone.
[357] Those are earned.
[358] I have three O -L -L -I.
[359] All right.
[360] Let's run through it.
[361] There was a lot of embarrassing things this week.
[362] What is your list?
[363] Wait, wait, let's set this up correctly.
[364] Hold on a second.
[365] Slow down.
[366] Because he's coming for the throne, okay?
[367] My heart's racing.
[368] Okay, let's slow it down and speed it up and put the pressure on the instigator.
[369] He wants to be on the show.
[370] All right?
[371] I got enough white boys around here.
[372] Like, I don't need more white boys around here.
[373] I don't.
[374] That's going to get aggregated.
[375] Huh.
[376] O 'I.
[377] It's an unfortunate thing that you just said.
[378] At one point, Miami, it was very obvious they were punting, and the gators didn't have a punt returner on the field for about 30 seconds.
[379] Very wordy.
[380] And the phlegm was coming up.
[381] Yeah.
[382] We called the time out after a five -minute time -out following a kickoff.
[383] That's actually...
[384] Okay, I got it.
[385] Before calling out the fans in, quote, rural Central Florida yesterday, Billy Ney Pierce said, we need to work on the football part.
[386] Funny.
[387] All right, number five.
[388] We let up a touchdown to a guy that has been in school since 2016.
[389] Number four, Billy Napier couldn't open his water bottle.
[390] Number three, three players on the kickoff team at one point ran to the wrong side of the field.
[391] I hear your breathiness.
[392] It was like my first show.
[393] Yeah, I'm a little nervous.
[394] He's coming for Taylor stuff, though.
[395] Number two, Miami players were celebrating with recruits on a visit to Gainesville in the end zone after the game.
[396] Inexplicably, they were on the Miami sideline.
[397] Usually they're on the Florida side line, this time they were in the Miami corner.
[398] Can't explain that.
[399] We're all looking for who did this.
[400] Yeah, Billy Napier.
[401] I can only imagine how mad Mike Flentes is right now.
[402] I can only imagine how happy Taylor is.
[403] Number one, that dork Mario Cristobal, gator chomping on our home field.
[404] All right, get out of here and go sit in the penalty box and quit bothering me when I come into work, all right?
[405] I don't want to hear about your top five list.
[406] Was it terrible?
[407] Can we talk about the gator chomp thing?
[408] Can we watch the I'm not going to say it was a little cringe, but...

[434] Don Lebertard.
[435] It's been a lovely cruise.
[436] Oh, man. That's my outro.
[437] That's, you know, as my casket is being lowered.
[438] You know, I'll have been cremated a week before, but we'll do the casket thing just for show.
[439] And as my casket is being lowered.
[440] Empty casket?
[441] Yeah, it'll be empty, you know, just for show.
[442] Well, what's the redundancy there?
[443] You know, I mean, we're going to put on a public display.
[444] Yeah, naturally.
[445] Stugats.
[446] What do you do with the ashes?
[447] You're going on a lovely cruise.
[448] Exactly.
[449] Maybe we'll throw them over.
[450] My wife will throw them overboard.
[451] I would assume.
[452] She's necking with her new husband.
[453] This is the Dan Lebert.
[454] show with this two gods I want to talk about that game for a minute because Greg Cody is here and there are many Greg Cody things to celebrate here not just that he's got another book coming out not just that he's got a hit podcast the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody with uh fine he wrote a column off of UMUF he did so from Key West he did so in his underwear that boy I have questions to ask him about that column.
[455] But before we do all of that, Billy, I want to introduce the audience here, because it's been so long, Billy, this is very frustrating to me that I run this company, but I don't actually run this company because I say and ask for things and they don't happen.
[456] I offered today and was searching all weekend for a paid appearance fee for people.
[457] He won't come in.
[458] People will not come in.
[459] And, I don't know why he won't come in.
[460] So, Video, can you get for me, please, a reintroduction?
[461] I want to do this going forward.
[462] As part of our 20 -year anniversary, year -long celebrations to God's, we're going to birth a lot of naval gazing content that I think our audience is going to really like.
[463] And one of those things is going to be behind the pit, bit, behind the bit, beyond the bit, whatever it is that it's called.
[464] Behind the bit.
[465] I like Behind the pit.
[466] That worked.
[467] Beyond that pit.
[468] As long as we get pit bull, we're good.
[469] Thank you.
[470] Thank you, Ethan.
[471] This is how it works, Ethan.
[472] See, you stumble on a word and look, the piranha arrive.
[473] That's how it is around here.
[474] Live.
[475] So, Instigator, what is he doing out there writing things?
[476] You got to look sad.
[477] I told you you got to look sad, Instigator.
[478] It's going to be hard for Taylor to look sad after that even performance.
[479] Two grinning gators, right?
[480] I know.
[481] You guys got to stay in character.
[482] Alien xenomorph, a smile reveals another smile.
[483] It's unbelievable.
[484] You guys, play this game correctly.
[485] All right, if you want to be on the show, you got to be sad as instigators because Mike Ryan won, and nobody here wants Mike Ryan to win.
[486] The thing you don't get, Dan, is that everybody out there is rooting for everyone else out there to fail.
[487] And there's, like, a whole, like, dynamic.
[488] So, like, there's, like, the Fuentes and, like, the video crew.
[489] And their whole, like, objective in this entire thing isn't, like, getting things out on time or anything.
[490] It's like make sure Taylor fails at everything that he does.
[491] How do I sabotage Taylor?
[492] Exactly right.
[493] They're constantly trying to sabotage Taylor.
[494] And then Ethan came in and now Ethan is the person that Taylor is hoping that fails because then kind of the heat goes off of Taylor.
[495] So like Ethan is like the grandchild of like the video department that hates Taylor.
[496] Do you understand how flawed a company we're building when every new employee who comes in is wished failure by all the people above him?
[497] I know you like that, Billy, because you I like the honesty to be perfectly honestly.
[498] I like the upfrontness of it.
[499] You know what I mean?
[500] Like, there's no wondering, do these people want me to fail?
[501] You just know as soon you get into all they do.
[502] We're not that different from actual respected institutions.
[503] We just say it out loud.
[504] Yes.
[505] We don't play this backstabbing game of politics behind the scenes.
[506] We front stab you.
[507] I mean, Dan, go to Wall Street.
[508] When the new hot shot trader walks in, everyone is rooting for that guy to be an absolute failure.
[509] I mean, this place is no different.
[510] It's true.
[511] walk of life, I think.
[512] Like, if you go into a car lot, you know, and five salesmen are in there, you think they're all rooting for each other to sell a car?
[513] No. No, they're not.
[514] And teachers, you know, if I'm a teacher, I sort of want the other teacher not to do well.
[515] You know, let's have him or her get in trouble for showing up late for work.
[516] It's like when you work at a restaurant and you're the old server and a new server comes in.
[517] You don't want them to have success.
[518] It's like if you're Tom Cruise on the set of Top Gun Maver.
[519] Glenn Powell comes around.
[520] Like, yeah, look, this is our franchise.
[521] I know what we're trying to do for you, Top Gun, Cullen, but, you know, just go with the flow a little bit.
[522] This is still the Tom Cruise show.
[523] Chris is right about the server.
[524] The new server comes in.
[525] He's young.
[526] He's got a great memory.
[527] He's not writing anything down.
[528] He's doing it all off memory.
[529] You want him to screw it out.
[530] It's like if you're on a coaching staff and there's a new assistant who comes in and he's younger than everyone else.
[531] And he's the new hot guy.
[532] And everyone's looking at that guy.
[533] And you're like, hey, I've been around longer.
[534] I have experience here.
[535] I want everyone to be talking about how good of a job I'm doing.
[536] Imagine you work at a newspaper for a really long time.
[537] Most of your adult life, you started there as an intern, whatever, back in high school.
[538] He came from, I don't know, let's just say FAU.
[539] Then all of a sudden this hot shot from the University of Miami comes in, fresh out of college, and it just gets front page columns.
[540] Yeah, seriously.
[541] It's a lot like if you're a traveling stand -up comedian in the opening act starting to get some hard labs.
[542] Do I root against this guy?
[543] Maybe don't open for me anymore?
[544] This is a lot of questions that I'm asking myself professionally.
[545] very introspective.
[546] I would say team sports, generally, you've got to root for each other.
[547] Not here, no. Publicly, you know.
[548] Backup quarterbacks generally root against a starting quarterback.
[549] Right, unless they're happy being a backup.
[550] Yeah, Charlie Whitehurst wants nothing but the best for a start.
[551] I'm betting Florida State's backup quarterbacks, like, I don't want to play.
[552] I don't want to do this.
[553] You guys think that Waddle wants Tyreek Hill to fail?
[554] Oh, yeah.
[555] But that's different, though.
[556] They both start, and they're both getting a lot of balls broke.
[557] But wait a minute.
[558] Why is that different?
[559] Well, Tua told us they all root for each other, whether you believe them or not.
[560] But the hotel might be rooting against.
[561] They haven't seen them in a week, huh?
[562] Then they walk that back real quick.
[563] Isn't that the Will Fuller deal where you come down to Miami and just take the Dolphins money and never play?
[564] Like, isn't that, like, what the, it's a, it's sort of Will Fuller.
[565] No, I think that.
[566] It's just, I think.
[567] It's Will Fuller V. At least Will Fuller practiced.
[568] Yeah.
[569] The fourth, I think.
[570] I want to get to behind the pit a new thing.
[571] that we're featuring that explains to you who people is.
[572] This is behind the bit.
[573] This is behind the bit.
[574] This is behind the bit.
[575] A segment where we're really wondering if this is going to be the bit that gets us fired.
[576] How did the people character come about?
[577] People was making fun of Miami Hurricanes fans straight to their face and he became an icon to Miami Hurricanes fans.
[578] They loved it.
[579] At the time, we were doing a local hour and we were breaking down the hurricanes in a manner that I thought was a little too serious and respectful and then people just showed up, I don't know.
[580] People?
[581] Here's people.
[582] There are many people on this bandwagon who at the end of last season said to yourself, may even share it openly, you said we got rocked.
[583] If we didn't have any, and those bum -ass rests, we would have won our seventh national championship.
[584] You heard me, Filete, that's seven.
[585] Well, guess what, bro?
[586] Next year is here.
[587] The time is now.
[588] And all that they cut out from U .F. And all the stupid Seminels and all the haters and even that rat, Nevin Shapiro, all of them will be watching us.
[589] The time is now.
[590] And don't any of you overestimate this moment?
[591] This team ain't got on us, bro.
[592] When I walked into that stadium today, they patted me down and they found the extra beer I had in my cargo shorts.
[593] Pippo is basically the combination of about three dozen Miami Hurricanes friends that I know personally.
[594] I even have a friend whose name is Filete, which is why he was kind of referenced in there.
[595] I had friends get kicked out of stadiums for smuggling beers into their cargo shorts.
[596] In one of the videos, Pippo said that when you drink Cafficito in Spanish, I said some people shit themselves, which never would have aired in English.
[597] But because it was in Spanish, no one knew what was being said.
[598] And when there's pressure, we drink Cafecito.
[599] And for the week, for the people dey, when they drink Cafesito, they can't.
[600] No, bro, imagine, gagging, you down a 100 ,000 people in the stadium on National TV.
[601] But for the strong, for the caballo.
[602] When we drink Cafesito, Did Mani Diaz ever get that turnover change?
[603] Mani Diaz got fired because Mani Diaz was not a good coach.
[604] Mani Diaz was what people thought they wanted at UM and then ended up being kind of a disaster as a coach.
[605] And I'm not saying that the people interview with Mani Diaz would have foretold what was to come, but that interview went very poorly.
[606] Mani Diaz did not understand what people was saying.
[607] There was general confusion.
[608] Here's the thing about Manny Diaz.
[609] He actually doesn't really know all that much Spanish and people kind of exposed him.
[610] So I think Mario Cristobal is more of a people guy quite honestly than Manny was.
[611] It was a very weird interaction between Manny Diaz and people.
[612] And quite honestly, it was the start of my doubt that Manny Diaz wasn't the guy on how he handled people.
[613] Pippo is a great way to vet your head coach.
[614] People, what do you've got?
[615] What do you got for your new coach.
[616] Get out of the way here.
[617] Damn medic.
[618] What was it?
[619] Hey, what's with this weird energy?
[620] Like a funeral, like a Velodio in here today.
[621] Bro, what's happening?
[622] It's a party.
[623] It's what I'm talking about.
[624] Oh yeah, bro.
[625] Congrats.
[626] I'm happy for you.
[627] Listen, as soon as a job became available, I knew there was one person for this job.
[628] Someone's going to be here through thick and thin.
[629] And there's a bunch of haters like Pablo, saying you're a traitor for leaving a table.
[630] And you know what?
[631] Ignore them.
[632] I say, you know what?
[633] That people, he's an empresario.
[634] Cojolo suave, row.
[635] That guy wants billete.
[636] So I was happy that you got that job at Temple, and I'm even happy that you're back.
[637] Hey, that's great to hear.
[638] This has been the high point of my changes so far.
[639] This makes it all worthwhile.
[640] Mani, I'm sorry.
[641] Welcome to Miami.
[642] It just got a little out of control.
[643] That clip that was played, the original speech with the music underneath that was kind of like making fun of a Michael Irvin speech.
[644] that he gave, made its way to Michael Irving.
[645] Michael Irving commented on it on Twitter.
[646] I was told that at tailgates in Texas, it was being played before the UM game.
[647] Calls were made to Paul Feinbaum and got through on Paul Feinbaum, and he was none the wiser that people was just kind of, you know, trying to agitate him.
[648] I mean, you got Virginia Tech?
[649] Nah, by that time in the year, they're not going to be ranked.
[650] well you know what you know what people are not agreeing with you because of the way that Miami just choked the last part of the season what they lose three straight yeah yeah but that was last year Paul things are different now they were injured why should we wipe that away what have we seen since then you cane fans are all the same you do not you do not want to regard history as a factor in anything anyway thanks for the call great to have you on we're up against a break three more hours to We're right here.
[651] He got you off.
[652] Now, and Cristobald was seemingly having a good time, and then people was there banging pots and pans, drinking coffee, but made a comment about the offensive coordinator that Mario Cristobal brought with him, who was down here from Miami.
[653] And people said something along the lines of this guy is too small to be an offensive or defensive line court.
[654] I don't know.
[655] Some innocent thing was said by people.
[656] And I'm not going to get into the coaching moves.
[657] so far, but I'm a little bit worried about this mirror ball because I don't know if I could say it now, but the last time that we had a coach that was like that, was, man, he did.
[658] And then, I don't know about this other guy that you brought in for the weight trading, but that guy is he going to see a grand de facto.
[659] Are you kidding me?
[660] You've got to settle down here, people.
[661] Tell us about the mustache strength coach.
[662] Hey, well, well, this one's for people.
[663] Last time I checked, the Alvin Trophy winner, that's the number six overall pick for the detour Lions was groomed and coached by Alex Mirabal, so I'll leave it at that, not to mention...
[664] There you go!
[665] That's what I like to hear!
[666] That's what I like to hear, Mario Cristob!
[667] And then that led to former UM players getting very upset, doing an article with the athletic about it, saying that they wanted to fight people, saying they wanted to fight Dan, and then my understanding was that a group of former national champions, in Miami Hurricanes were discussing, showing up at the Clevelander to confront Dan over people, I believe not understanding what people was doing.
[668] Why do you think Billy hates people so much?
[669] I'm not sure why Billy hates people so much.
[670] I know he has to take it up a couple of notches.
[671] I think he kills the assignment.
[672] It's honestly one of my favorite things.
[673] My wife has a people hoodie.
[674] Like, we love Beahoe.
[675] People, even though he, again, makes fun of Miami Hurricanes fans, we don't care.
[676] We love it.
[677] He's an icon.
[678] The best part about the peoples of Miami and just the whole people era of this show, I would say is that that is UM fans.
[679] That's who they are.
[680] And for the most part, they loved it because they knew that's who they were.
[681] But also, they didn't know it was them.
[682] Like, every UM fan said, oh my goodness, I know people, that's my cousin.
[683] Or I know people, that's my friend Jack.
[684] Or I know my friend people is this, this is people, that's people.
[685] And it's like, no, it's you.
[686] You just don't realize that you are people.
[687] Would people ever return?
[688] Hmm.
[689] To the caballio.
[690] When we drink cafecito, no enfocamos.

[708] Don Lebertard.
[709] That's how it's going to end.
[710] The mailing and end of the retirement, Chris, go get me this.
[711] It's just going to be him coming out and hitting the one or two notes of that kind of thing, and you know it, and then just giving us finger guns and leave it.
[712] You should listen to the Great Cody Show podcast because that's all we do for 55 minutes a week is just say catch phrases.
[713] We even make songs about them.
[714] And you know it is a song for crying out loud.
[715] That's great.
[716] Hopefully that's a suey nominee for Best Song.
[717] And you know it, baby, and you know it.
[718] Stugats.
[719] And you know it, baby, and you know it.
[720] And you know it, baby, and you know it, baby, and you know it.
[721] And you know it, baby, and you know it.
[722] This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stoogads.
[723] Everybody around here for a couple of years now has seen or heard or felt me falling apart in some ways.
[724] The show has endured that a couple of times in its history and lived to survive it.
[725] I cannot tell you right now how grateful I am for an audience that made something possible that we're about to buck up and get super.
[726] strong as the whole media thing crumbles and shakes and tries to figure it out.
[727] Like college game day killed it this weekend but they're in transition and that's how it changes.
[728] Get shirtless, get a leprechaun out there that says he has to pee and Sabin's looking around and he's like, I've never seen anything like this.
[729] This is what college football feels like.
[730] I've never seen something so fun and he's out there cursing and saying while on live television And, like, this was funny because he says the word shit, Stugats.
[731] And that's all that everyone was talking about.
[732] And do you realize how stupid and silly it is that the rest of that quote is normal now?
[733] The rest of that quote is, you guys keep talking about a $20 million roster.
[734] If you don't buy the right guys, you'll be shit out of luck.
[735] Everyone's focusing on the shit.
[736] Nobody cares that there's the winning his coach ever is saying, yeah, it costs $20 million, but you better get the right players.
[737] and it's like, what are we doing?
[738] It's why I'm sitting here doing college game day now.
[739] I've got to tell you, Sabin is QB1 on that show.
[740] It is not McAfee.
[741] It is not Desmond Howard.
[742] It is not Reese Davis.
[743] I love all of them.
[744] But Sabin is QB1.
[745] He is excellent.
[746] They need to use them more.
[747] They need to utilize him more.
[748] Let him speak more.
[749] Nick Sabin is really good at this.
[750] You say that.
[751] I say he's stiff and starched and he will be excellent, but he needs to work with those parts.
[752] and those parks are a lot different.
[753] Sabin ain't bringing you the young people.
[754] Macafee is.
[755] And by the way, everyone who kicked Lee Corso off the set, the only guy who was perfect with his picks over the weekend on the college game day set was Lee Corso.
[756] He still has it, Dan.
[757] He does.
[758] Thank you for bringing that up, Stugas.
[759] There's nothing better as a fan than when you're watching a show like Game Day where they're giving pregame picks and everyone picks the same team.
[760] And then you say, hmm all of the haters think that we're not going to win but guess what throw it back in their face after the game because Notre Dame won they all pick Texas A and I'm like oh Notre Dame's not going to win in a hostile environment their offensive line has six snaps of experience between the five of them blah blah blah blah guess what it didn't matter it didn't matter Notre Dame one take your hundred seven thousand fans and I don't know kick rocks oh boy minor penalty two minutes stumbling second.
[761] I wanted to kick talking ball.
[762] I will get back to, I will get back to ball.
[763] I wanted to talk ball too.
[764] I just didn't want to talk Notre Dame football that quickly.
[765] Oh, no, it was impressive.
[766] Was Connor Wegman actually sick the entire game?
[767] I've never seen him.
[768] Is it, is it Wigman because Chris Fowler does not know how to pronounce it on the game?
[769] I've heard Wettman a lot.
[770] That's my rule in life.
[771] He got punched in the stomach.
[772] I don't think you heard what I said.
[773] I don't think he was hurting.
[774] Minor penalty, two minutes, stumbling.
[775] Is that two more minutes?
[776] One thing's for sure.
[777] I'm not exactly sure who he is.
[778] But if you're Florida, you do whatever you can to get that Notre Dame defensive coordinator.
[779] I want to talk more about Napier, and we will over the course of the show today.
[780] And we will find out what Greg Cody wrote from Key West in his underwear.
[781] You don't think Nick Saban is going to kind of get his way, like ease his way into this?
[782] You don't think he's going to do the David Pollock and jump off of a highboard and a speedo into the pool at some point on this run?
[783] He jumps into the lake.
[784] Stugats loves on God bless football asking everybody questions about Sabin taking him out on the lake.
[785] It's one of Stugats' favorite questions.
[786] Yeah.
[787] Yeah, it's great.
[788] I mean, he takes the guys out of the lake.
[789] He tries to throw them off the little floaty.
[790] I mean, he should be concerned about those guys getting injured.
[791] It's going to happen sometime.
[792] Well, it won't happen anymore.
[793] He's not coaching.
[794] I agree with what you said about Saban dominating that set.
[795] Yeah.
[796] Sabin has out -retired Bill Belichick, and it isn't even close.
[797] Well, hold on a second.
[798] We haven't seen the Manning cast yet.
[799] It just started.
[800] They just started.
[801] Belichick hasn't even had a chance to shine yet.
[802] Seven is their head.
[803] It's like a, you got a picture like a foot, a retirement foot race between Saban and Belichick.
[804] And right now.
[805] I like that.
[806] Belichick is stuck in the starting gate.
[807] And Saban is sprinting.
[808] Well, college football started and pro football has it.
[809] Damn right it has.
[810] And Saban's like sprinting over those hurdles.
[811] Well, it's funny you mention that because the NFL does not like college football having its own weekend.
[812] there are reports now that the NFL wants to start Labor Day weekend.
[813] They won all the weekends.
[814] Say away.
[815] You can bully basketball.
[816] Say away from the minor league.
[817] Did you see there's a clip of Bill Belichick's original content, his show coach.
[818] Did you see who made its way onto the set doing this content creation with Bill Belichick?
[819] Matt Patricia.
[820] Oh, wow.
[821] He's going to bring all those.
[822] He's going to bring all of the coach.
[823] He's going to bring the personality.
[824] Did he have a pencil on his ear?
[825] I couldn't tell.
[826] Oh, man. Wait, he has a show called Coach?
[827] I think that was one of the graphics that I saw.
[828] Like Craig T. Nelson?
[829] What else would you call, though?
[830] That's a great reference, Billy.
[831] That'd be a great show.
[832] A reboot of coach with Belichick.
[833] That he's ahead of Sabin.
[834] You're so right.
[835] It is wonderful that the knee -jerk reaction of Greg Cody is that Sabin, it's not even close, has sprinted past Belichick, who hasn't spoken publicly yet in his roles as somebody who analyzes games.
[836] Because there have been no games for Belichael.
[837] to analyze.
[838] That's not Sabin's fault.
[839] Fun fact, Craig T. Nelson was offered the part that Ed O 'Neill got in Modern Family, but asked for too much money.
[840] Really?
[841] Really?
[842] I have read some interesting things about movie stars and actors.
[843] Brad Pitt, I didn't know this.
[844] This is crazy to me. The movie 7, a masterpiece, a dark masterpiece.
[845] And keep an eye on everything happening in streaming because it's hard to get dark made because people want applause and everything in your streaming channels is a note off because everybody wants a happy ending and to avoid all the difficult stuff.
[846] Brad Pitt and George Clooney just got paid $35 million each for this Wolf's movie that they're making on Apple TV and they've been promoting it everywhere.
[847] Brad Pitt in seven had a contract that stipulated and spoiler alert here if you have not seen seven.
[848] Spoiler alert.
[849] I'm warning you.
[850] Spoiler alert.
[851] I think you're good.
[852] I don't know.
[853] Never know.
[854] He had a contract clause that said, in writing, my wife's head is in the box at the end, and she dies and it stays there, and I kill Kevin Spacey.
[855] That's how that movie ends.
[856] And everyone tried to change it, and he just kept giving them the contract clause of, you're not going to make this a happy ending.
[857] They wanted to kill a dog or something.
[858] He's like, no. That's a happy ending?
[859] Yes, a happy, well, it's a happy, it's a happy earth.
[860] I haven't seen it yet.
[861] That if it's your dog.
[862] Now you have.
[863] Cana Reeves turned 60 over the weekend.
[864] No need.
[865] Got a whole new franchise because someone killed a dog.
[866] I feel like audiences in general would rather see a woman die than a dog die.
[867] Yeah, you may be right.
[868] I'm building out this new coach.
[869] Put that on the pole version.
[870] No, I don't want to do that.
[871] I really, really, I should throw that to Elon Musk, should I?

[883] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[884] In 1795, the first tequila distilled, was opened by the Cuervo family, and 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
