This is the Don Levertoche with this Tougat Spatcast! I'm like, he's gonna stick, starting. Where's the?
I know. He's sticking around.
I thought special agent Bajant was gonna be like the most obscure QB of this year, but...
It doesn't happen often, and I feel like it's happened more times than any in previous history
where I just flat out am learning of someone's existence as they come into play the most important position in sports.
It's a year unlike any other.
Easton stick apparently threw a pass in 2020 news to me.
I saw a dude come running on to the field by the name of Easton stick and he wasn't a
hockey player or a porn star.
It should be a lax player.
He was playing quarterback.
How did I not know that this was the insurance policy behind Justin Herbert?
No, I like playing this game.
I'm not even kidding you.
It happened to me like two or three times yesterday where I'm like, huh, Mullins, they're
back up quarterback or McCarran.
There's, oh, there's AJ McCarran. He I didn't know he was there
Cincinnati they've gotten down to their fifth one like the others don't have legs and one of them
Such as totally chewed up in a hospital bed, but they got I think AJ McCarran's gonna play quarterback now
I think people were watching not knowing that AJ McCarran had gone to the XFL and even left Cincinnati
Her people that probably just assumed he's been there the whole time. And Nick Mullins is always hanging around, Dan.
He always is, right?
As long as there's an NFL, there will be a Nick Mullins.
I'm convinced.
Jeremy, can you give me some information
about Eastern Wick, please?
Yeah, you got it.
I'll get there in one second.
Eastern stick.
Stick.
I'm sorry.
Oh my god.
That's a fine hold on.
You know, he was the quarterback at North Dakota state
between Carson, Wenson, Trey Lance. Hmm. Quite the program there god. That's a fine. Hold on. You know, he was the quarterback at North Dakota State between Carson,
Wednesday and Tray Lance. Hmm. Quite the program there. They've had a run.
Didn't the quarterback you didn't the North Dakota State head coach just leave for USC to become an
assistant. All of a sudden I think you're going to see a linebackers coach. A head coach left his job to
become an assistant elsewhere. Yeah. You're going to see a lot of linebackers coach. Hmm. A lot of
that. In fact, like. A lot of that.
In fact, like,
We did play off to it.
Two years ago, when the hurricanes were looking for an offensive coordinator, there were
serious negotiations with Jason Candle, who is the headman over at Toledo.
I think in the modern age of college football, the staff numbers that are being thrown out
there have to eclipse even the NFL that you almost have to take the sum of these. What is perceived as a step down?
Just to go as we analyze all of this stuff, right?
All of these super competitive people in a salary cap age,
they are fighting over inches that we yell at the referee
for not spotting correctly.
And all of the decisions that you're seeing made on Sunday.
Again, yesterday was not a good day with a lot of close games,
but there are many close games in that sport.
Chris Cody, I thought of you yesterday because
during one of the three exciting games that there were,
I thought that there was a call in the modern age,
modern age, given everything that's happening
with the refereeing and that would happen
later in the Kansas City game.
I thought I heard one of the great calls of all time with Raven fans hearing what I believe
to be some of the sweetest, sweetest words you can ever hear as punctuation as a broadcast
before the broadcaster backs off and allows crowd noise to do the speaking for him.
That Ravens game ended whatever it was, 3731 on a punt return with a dude,
the backup punt returner like staggering down the sidelines.
You see him almost fall and the, I believe it should replace, do you believe in miracles?
Given where we are today.
There are!
No!
Flags!
Because I fully expected one to drop on the field.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We're all looking around.
Yeah, but block in the back.
Everybody was looking around.
Tell them it's everybody's looking.
That little yellow box is going to come up and ruin all of this, right?
So, somebody twers, this 700 yards from the play, you know put a hand in a face mask
Nope the announcer get I believe that that should be come the new do you believe in miracles?
It's worthy legal. It's worthy of celebration
Absolutely and absolutely totally legal play Codori canary is toadie was not
off sides by a toe
uh...
i love shenan sharp today saying canary is toadie rob does of one of the
great plays in nfl history
he scored the touchdown he robbed
himself that's what he does for himself robbed everybody
robbed man kind robbed uh... yes the entire country. Tony is, he is by the water.
Tony is looking right now. I would say like he is soaked in sultry look good man. He is a f***ing idiot. The Criot. The Criot shrugged you up.
Because he knows he looks good.
The dork.
I mean, I mean, the Criot team looks good on him.
He is not phased by Billy's defense against him at all turns
tony are you ready for your top five what is happening out there where are you
last time you were by the water you don't understand okay because we are an
international show the rest of the country is suffering from winter the fact
that you can do this is an envy across the land and across the continent and
across the globe you are where with whom?
Right now, Dano, I am outside on the bay right here
as you look over my shoulder.
We're hopefully gonna rent this teaky hut boat.
I wasn't even scheduled to be on today.
And obviously we've got the Miller Light contest winners
Michael and the boys.
So I had to show them out like a good time.
That's what they call me to make sure
that everybody's got a good time here
So we're gonna bring in the boys to have Tony's top five, but we're gonna try there's actually no captain here on the Tiki
Hub boat so after the top five I might just take out the boat myself
Okay, so we're just gonna figure that out in a second boats are free to start off the proceedings
Are you so wait a minute? You're saying that you're gonna go out and that as soon as you guys are done here the five of you are gonna go party on the bay
You're gonna go out and that as soon as you guys are done here the five of you are gonna go party on the bay
Yeah, that's that's what it's looking like
That's what it's looking like dano no captain. They're not watching. I'm in. Hey guys doing time now for Tony's Tony's top five
Observation any OLI you're getting right to it
Two OLI's today, Dano. Let's do it.
The Jets really are a QB away. They really are.
That defense is really good.
They shut down Paulie, one of the best young quarterbacks in the league
and made him look the entire offense.
I'll be it, they're missing a lot of people.
Made that offense look really bad.
The Jets, if they had a good quarterback, this team would be going to the Super Bowl.
Okay, but Dal was pretty important.
Yeah.
Yeah, and so is Niko Collins, so is Dalton Schultz.
So is her quarterback, so is CJ Strauss.
Yes, all of that, yeah.
All the carnage.
Some qualifiers.
Yes.
There were tonsils heard, I think.
Yeah, getting unhealthy at the run.
There's a lot of people.
He's so wet about that.
Go, go play trick, go, go. There's a lot of people. He's so right about that.
Go, go play Trent Williams now.
Play an extra game this season.
Go, yeah, yeah, yeah, good luck.
Good luck.
Go play Trent Williams.
So absurd.
Oh, lie number two.
Can you guys imagine how good Kyle Pits would be
if he wasn't in Atlanta?
Oh, my God.
Just everybody, take a moment to think
if he was not handcuffed to the Atlanta Falcons in Arthur Smith and Desmond Ritter who sucks. How good Kyle Pits would be. Imagine if he
was on any other team. Just just pick a team. Other than that. Caroline, I think you'd be the number one
type in Caroline. He was actually good with the Falcons when Matt Ryan played Gordard Back. That's
correct. What's Tony on the Desmond Ritter bandwagon at some point. Yes. Calpitz has never been good.
Well, it's Florida.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, but he's always been disappointing in Florida.
I can't wait to find out if Tony loves any of the six quarterbacks we were introducing.
Well, we're about to find out.
I'm sure he has.
He is the, he is always the one falling in love with the new quarterback.
Number five.
Number five, Dan O'Lasnight, the nation as a whole,
was introduced to a man playing at the peak of the sport,
the peak at his position.
His name, Brandon Aubrey.
He's got a leg.
That guy is good.
Go Irish.
Notre Dame stand up. Yeah. Go M O good. Go Irish. Notre Dame stand up.
Yeah.
Go M O I N.
Have you seen a kicker be that good?
I'm not.
Quickly that early?
70 yards.
I mean, you can hit one from 70 yards away.
Number four.
There's a miss.
He's Steph Curry.
He's Steph Curry, Dano.
Number four.
The Josh Dobbs thing was fun, right?
What it lasted was fun.
You fell in love with him.
He's one of the guys you fell in love with.
Yeah, Keter for 16 or whatever it was.
63 yards getting bench for Nick Mullins.
Not good.
How are our contest winners doing?
Just just vibe out next to you.
Is it awkward for them yet?
They're chillin' that.
No, not awkward at all.
The boys are loving it.
Tony asked.
The boys are loving it.
They're agreeing with all of the plays.
Tony asked one of them.. Tony asked one of them,
I just asked one of it,
can you ask one of them how he has felt
about his experience so far mingling about the show?
Yeah, my boy right here, how have you felt
so far?
What's your boy right there's name?
I dare you.
Josh, is it Josh?
Elliot, I was close.
Oh, that's so bad. I had Josh dobs on the brink that's why it's
Josh dobs. Tomato tomato go ahead. Number three
Jack for MVP. Jack for MVP can you really? You you yes we hear you yes we hear you
back for MVP universe whispers before it shouts
back for MVP just something to just something to keep them back your mind man
those those Brock party prices keep dropping it looks like Brock
party's gonna be the MVP so great should be to rekill. And we're all like, is it good? Do we know? We should. We need to be leading in every pass. I know. I know. I know. I know.
A brief. A brief. Yeah, but come on.
Duttle Bear. A bit of analysis.
With regards to Brock Curry in the MVP. Yeah, yeah.
Guys, you can ask a couple people that were around in Merrimon Thursday night
I could do that with if I was Brock party
Those weapons give me break. Well not not I'm and you lost us
Tony Jimmy Garoppolo couldn't do it. That's correct and and you and you
You are tried on at FIU and they didn't even hand you a football you only
That was a scam though. They didn't give me a ball
That was like though the number two
overall draft pick couldn't do it for that but Brock pretty can that guy sucks
to okay I said you got a clipboard I can do the same thing with trade
lenses I can do the same thing trade lenses doing easily more sand on a clipboard
sit behind an MVP guy and not not worry about it I can do that okay again Tony
a fairness to him then they didn't give him the ball. How's he supposed to prove himself, that mean?
I know, Tony, at FIU, when he was walking on
or trying out, they had him throw passes,
but did not give him a ball.
He did drills with an imaginary football.
Tony, where are we in the list?
We have less than a minute left.
We're at number one, Dano.
Yeah, maybe it was the right call on paper for the nerds and dorks everywhere.
But we were all robbed of a moment yesterday in the bills and chiefs game.
Not only were we robbed of an incredible touchdown, Travis Kelsey throwing it to Guderia's
Tony, we were robbed of Josh Allen having a moment for himself to come out and score
touchdown and win the game in the final seconds of that game.
Again, we've got some amazing plays between the Chiefs and the Bills
Throughout history this was one of those moments again and we were robbed of it
But of course Billy the Dorx Cougs probably all the dorks that love the rules and the C-Bros
No, he was right his toe was off on about three three milliliters. It gave me a break
We were robbed of a moment last night. That's it. We're going to the Tiki boat.
Get on the boat. I don't love going.
You're the captain now. I don't know why Cougs took a stray there.
He's got the millers.
Thank you. Go have fun Tony. I'm pretty sure that you skipped number two.
I'm going to think that it's an editorial decision and it's not that you're bad at math.
Thank you. Let me see here. I think Josh Elliott gave it hold on. Let's see if he did number two
Close it. No number two was I was whispering Dak for MVP. That was
Three which I thought that's three. Okay, it's okay. Oh number three. I missed number three
I knew I missed something
Done lebertard
Good luck today boy, if you know him the way I know growing up
Everyone knows a clone boy. I come in peace. Don't do that. You just embarrassed me so much. Stugats!
Okay guys Nick Jonas is walking this way.
Can we get him to say what's up?
I know exactly what I'm gonna say.
I'm gonna say that.
I'm gonna say that.
I'm gonna say that.
Do we have trolls?
Yeah, we're gonna get, we're gonna get partly.
Hey what's up Nick?
Good luck today, that shot on 18, my god.
Now, whoo.
Tall.
You made it.
That's how you embarrassed us.
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna say.
This is the Don Limiter, that's right. Holy.
This is the Don Lebatar Show with this two-gots.
I am staring right now at one Jessica Smetana and she is one scroll away right now.
I saw it.
One scroll away, two-gots.
I can't believe it.
I'm starting a segment and she's in her phone. One
physical scroll away
from becoming a boomer. She is gonna get to boomer status. She's a young person. She's in the moment.
She's uh, she's a young person in the moment who's about to fall out of the moment by becoming an old person.
You're very young, Jessica, very young.
I was younger before I started working here, Dan O.
You're so...
Is everyone calling Dan O today?
What is going on with this?
A little bit of a thing that we do.
We like to have fun.
I joined Facebook this week.
What?
What?
Why?
Because people have been telling me for months
that the best thing about Facebook is Facebook Marketplace.
Is the best place to buy and sell
lightly, gently use things.
And so I said, okay, I have a few things that I,
are nice that I want to sell,
that I don't want to throw away.
Someone could use these.
I'm going to join Facebook and get on Facebook Marketplace
and see what, see what the big deal is about.
So I made myself a little Facebook account.
I used to have one like many moons ago that I don't think I've used in a long time because
Facebook has become overridden with boomer memes and immediately was assaulted with, and
this account that I made does not follow anyone not friends with anyone just the most unhinged pixelated memes you've ever seen are now on this page when I
open up my new Facebook account it is absolutely bananas I can see why the
older adults of America are being radicalized left and right and then I went on
oh and now my Facebook accounts have suspended apparently I just went to go
look at Facebook marketplace to prove my point
because Facebook Marketplace in Miami is a weird, weird, weird place.
What is your due to getting paid?
What did you do?
I don't know.
I mean, I sent a nasty message to someone on the Joe Rogan fan podcast Facebook group,
but I didn't know I get suspended for that.
But no, I went on Marketplace yesterday and it's like, here's a car, here's an apartment,
here's a used pair of jeans.
It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.
And they all cost $1,000.
I will tell you that something strange that has happened in my life, I am going right
back into the 1950s, very often, walking
to a post office because my wife, this is in loving service of making my wife happy
wherever I can, no matter how little time I have, I am often walking into the 1950s, into
a post office to mail something that she has sold for $39.
Right.
And she loves a bargain.
And she loves you walking to the post office.
Well, I just can't tell you the number of boxes
that I'm telling you.
Well, she loves not only a bargain,
but she also doesn't want to be wasteful.
And so she likes having things that are good
and not just throwing them out.
And if people, they're nice things, people can get them cheap.
She helps somebody on the internet.
She spreads the bargain.
The problem is that I'm just going to the post office a lot.
And it's not a great deal of-
It's tedious.
Reselling stuff is very tedious.
There's also this new phenomenon called by nothing.
These groups on Facebook called by nothing groups.
And I think they also have an app now.
I have never used this, but I've heard incredible things
from people that do use them in New York.
And you go on this thing and everything's free, I think.
And you just post like, hey, I have this broken toaster.
And someone will be like, oh, I actually,
I need a broken toe.
I'm gonna come pick that up. And then you just kind of, like you know, bar have this broken toaster. And someone will be like, oh, I actually, I need a broken toe, I'm gonna come pick that up.
And then you just, it's very popular.
Like, you know, barter things on this app.
And so it's for people that don't wanna be, you know,
wasteful and go buy something brand new.
So they'll maybe get a used thing from someone else.
You need to be careful with those
because when my daughter had her first birthday,
there was supposed to be a tropical storm.
So we had to cancel the party.
And then we didn't have the party.
So my wife had like these backgrounds that were made, because it's our first birthday
party.
So it was like, there's this big turtle, and there's this, and there's that.
And she's like, what am I supposed to do with this eight-foot balloon arch?
Like we had to cancel the party, we can't do anything.
We took like two pictures, and she like put it on one of those, thinking like, oh, all,
you know, someone that can use this for their kids upcoming party can use this.
I'm not gonna charge them, like, what's the point?
And then, like, a truck was sent to pick it up
and it was someone who has a party business
who came and claimed all of these things.
That is smart, yeah.
And then, like, was going to resell them
and we thought that we were giving this to, like,
a nice family or whatever that could use these things
for free and it ended up being some whatever that could use these things for free,
and it ended up being some scammer
who was taking them for free from us for their business.
Now, explain this marketplace to me
because I bought the wrong size windshield wipers.
Well, I shouldn't say I bought the wrong size windshield wipers.
I bought windshield wipers,
but they don't have the right connection for the car
that I have, which is very odd.
I don't know why Raynex would make windshield wipers
that don't fit the standard car,
but this may be more of a Mazda situation,
not to name names, but I lost the receipt
because I bought them some time ago,
so I can't return them.
So what do I do with said windshield wipers?
How do I make sure that I can get these windshield,
because I'm not looking to turn a profit, guys.
That's not what I'm here for.
But I like to make my money back if possible.
Because now I have to go and buy another set
of winchill wipers for my wife's car.
I mean, I don't think you'll make your money back
on this app by nothing, but someone will definitely
take that.
No, no, no, no, guys, this is by something.
It's by winchill wipers.
There's no buy nothing that we learned this after the party.
No more buy nothing, okay?
Because scammers are coming and they're taking things.
You just want your money back, no profit.
Yeah, no profit and I'll tell you right now,
I buy this DJ so they were already on sale.
So you know what, I'll give you the price that I paid for them
and they're on sale to you without the DJ's membership.
You are being iron fisted and getting some success
around here.
That's simple Dan, what do you want me to do?
I'm liking you.
That's simple.
I'm liking your strengthening here. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man.
That's a real man. That's a real man. That's a not great. And then he had a light that was put in there.
And I gently asked, as we were talking about,
gently used, I gently asked if we could elevate it
to him actually starting a fire on his head
because he left the lamp on
because that'd be a fun visual guy.
It would be fun.
And he said no.
Okay, Jeremy, go sit in the penalty box
for not allowing us to set it to one five minutes.
I'm setting yourself on fire. Five minutes for not it to one five minutes for not setting yourself on fire.
Five minutes for not on behalf of the show,
just setting yourself on fire because Billy wanted it.
So, Dan, a couple of things here.
It's never been easier.
It's never been, there's never been a better time
to go to the post office.
Like, I imagine, right?
Put it on the pole at Labatard show,
has there ever been a better time to go to the post office?
There's never anyone there to go.
And the people who are there are doing exactly what I'm doing.
It's just returns.
Right.
So I figure it's a breeze, nice little walk,
cathartic for you, almost.
Get to think a little bit.
Yeah.
And walk straight into the 1950s.
Right.
And then I'm assuming that most people listening to this don't know how much a stamp is these days.
I'm assuming.
I might have to.
Can you tell us?
I, uh, well, I just put it on a card.
So I don't know either.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
And I also, and I also just go with whatever, like you have to imagine, I've got all these
boxes.
And so I'm making my way in to, to the place.
I hope I get myself to the level of success
where you go to the post office,
and you're like, I don't care how much of stamps are.
Put it on my car.
I'm making $39 at a time.
You can charge me whatever you want.
It's costing me more to get there
and buy the stuff that I need.
But in this case, I go due to flee with the receipts
that allowed just the things to be sent where they are,
and very often I don't have to actually buy stamps.
But back in the 50s, when everyone was actually going to the post office, that would take
all day.
And so I'm saying this has to be an in and out mission for you.
I don't think the post office was ever in the post.
Oh, are you kidding me?
It was buzzing back in the 50s and 60s.
Even the 80s.
I mean, the 50s and 60s, like were you even born yet?
No, no, it was born in 72.
So put holiday elves forever stamps are 66 cents.
We're up to 66 stamps for a stamp now.
Put it on the whole stamp.
All set, is 66 cents too much for a stamp.
I thought we were by like, I knew it was 39 at one point.
I thought we were maybe like 42, 46, 66.
Yeah, it seems like a lot.
The other thing I was gonna tell you is you should sign some
of these items to increase the value.
That's what I'm thinking. Billy same with you like a dress
I don't think you Adam think dance wifers selling things that people would want Dan's autograph
I mean imagine a sign pair of jeans by Dan Levitort. I mean that's something I would buy. He's aren't listeners of the show
We actually have today
Our event you can go check out our event at Dolphin Mall, Vivo, Dolphin Mall.
And we have-
Tell the people again just real quick because we do not do this and I've told you before
we're not doing mass this year. There's been a lot going on so the only time we're going to
meet and greet people this year where we actually- and we do like doing this. We like meeting our
fans except for Mike and all of us go with enthusiasm to these things
as part of like we're really appreciative
that we get to do this.
I wanna meet the shit outta you.
What?
So I'm saying like I wanna meet the shit out of these people.
Why that, expression.
Cause I wanna, you wanna meet them
and then they shit on the floor.
Like we're not just gonna meet them,
we're gonna meet the shit out of them.
Right.
Talk about some,
talk about some dollar shave,
love and some middle light for that.
We wanna meet them till they poop.
That's what he's saying, yeah.
Accurate.
Well, we're any floor?
We're giving out shirts and we have things
that we can, I believe we're giving out shirts.
I don't know if I'm supposed to say that,
but I think that we have things that we're going to be giving out.
And the thing is, they're black shirts,
but I was going to go and sign all of them black sharpie anyway.
And then everyone would be getting an autographed shirt
and not even know that it was autographed.
What do you think about that?
If that doesn't get you out there.
That's tonight.
I've got some bad news, by the way.
I know we were all hoping for the against the spread pay off today.
But you're not going to believe what happened.
What?
We've got a five-way tie.
Five-year.
Headed into this one says tie breaking edition of a guest.
The Spree.
It's to God something happened yesterday that I thought was funny.
The bears are on Detroit's 38 yard line.
And by the way, that's exactly how Jared Jared golf is going to lose in the playoffs.
The bears have if he gets there.
Fourth he's going to get there.
There are a lot of bad teams.
He's going to get there.
We'll see.
Here come the backers.
Fourth and 13 stugots at the 38.
So that's real no man's land.
Like you got a punt there.
What do you can do?
Like no, we're all going for it on four down?
Nope, the bears say they're going for it.
And this happened twice yesterday for somebody.
And a Detroit lion on fourth and third team
from the 38 jumps off side, a free play, DJ Moore touched out.
And if you're a Detroit lion's fan
who has lost for 50 years,
And if you're a Detroit Lions fan who is lost for 50 years,
you wanted to disembowel that player.
Don Lebatard. Tony, kids, you don't really realize how much time it just adds to your day and how
little they bring to the table. They bring nothing to the table.
Yeah, nothing to the table. In fact, you had to bring the table all the time.
It's a client to them.
But I wanted to go to Flanagan's before you know what I would do.
I grabbed my keys, I had hopped my car.
Now there's seven different bags you got to take a picture.
35 minutes ago to Flanagan.
I'm still got something.
Move everything around.
All of a sudden you can't leave knives everywhere like I'm used to.
Put it on the pole gear.
I'm on a lebitard show. pole gear, Moat Levitard show,
is there anything lazier than an infant?
This is the Don Levitard show with this two-gats.
I don't know if I can do Tony's top five,
as well as Tony does his top five.
I've only left out three.
Yeah, but I think he's still, he's so good at it
that I think he's still better than me.
I'm going to try though.
All I've been able to do is put together
a top three from yesterday in football.
Really?
Yeah, and I don't know.
Like I said, this is tough to do.
And Tony does it.
I think Tony does top five football observations
better than anyone in any market doing top five
football observations, even though today he only did four
because he forgot number three.
Yes.
But I've got number three here, are you ready?
Yeah.
I'm practicing, so be forgiving.
Okay.
These are football observations.
Yeah, from yesterday.
But I don't know how to do this.
I'm admitting on the front end that this is. is well you're doing something called a top five with three
So I'm just learning babies a three and only three. Yes, well this old game bring it back
This is that's your game. I don't want to steal that from you
But this is just training wheels so that one day you can have it. I can do top five as well. Maybe as Tony
So number three, Drake London. Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
I feel like one I would do.
Yeah.
Number two, Joku.
Yeah.
That's that game. Right? Joku Yeah
Has that game
Right he looks so good. I mean that he always looks good. I mean unbelievable how good that I'm not even talking about playing football I'm just saying he looks so good. He looks like a superhero from Mad Max like shirtless
It just blonde hair. He's beautiful muscles on top of of muscles. And number one, well, number one, Jimmy Graham.
Is the same.
I mean, where'd that come from?
Still getting it done.
Still catching studies.
So what he does?
How was that?
Not great.
I was kind of hoping we would have talked this out
and you were doing this so that you could have had
a 3 and only 3 but 2 O.L.I. as well saying you didn't know how to do a top 5.
I too wish we had talked it out.
So, especially since I have the 3 and only 3 imaging now.
Oh my god.
Try to get with the bed and see.
So, you want the. Try to get with the bed and see.
You want the other try to get?
I don't think that's the imaging for three and only three.
I don't know what that is.
Well, that's mislabeled.
I don't think we had imaging.
I, yeah.
What is that?
Is that a fog?
What is that?
Why is the music so cheap for us?
It's so iconic. What is that? What is that? What is that? Is that in Oregon? What is that? Why is the music so cheap for us? It's so iconic.
What is that?
What is that in Oregon?
This was before Draft games came into our lives.
This is whatever was,
I think I got royalty-free music off of CDs back then.
That seems impossibly bad.
It's not really great, Sturgat.
I wish our music was slightly better than it appears to be.
Does punch that segment up.
I mean, that's not saying very much.
I mean, you weren't either.
You were just saying Jimmy Graham.
Yeah, got it.
Well, I gotta get good at it.
It's hard.
I mean, you think anybody could just walk up the street
and do a top five football list?
Well, we let someone.
It's hard. It's a... three. It's his Tony's or mine yours.
Cause Tony didn't have a number three. He forgot to do number three.
I'll do it again. I remember I was why I was working. That's why it was such a hard
72 hours for me this weekend. I was working on this list. All right, let me
throw it away for the book. We have the bed.
We have the bed. Let's punch it up a little bit.
Number three. Oh boy. Well hold on a second. Oh, well, I. Baker may feel.
That's oh, well, I. Okay. I forgot my oh, well, I guess it's hard. It's hard to do.
And number three. three, Drake London.
Yeah.
Tony gives us a little more context than you knew.
Well, I gotta get good at it.
Well, less is more.
I'm not saying I'm good at it,
yet I'm asking for your patience.
A lot of people say I'm ruining the show.
Let me get good at it.
I need some practice.
I've only been doing this.
How would you expand that out, Trigger?
I don't know. I got to practice.
A rap's failures.
Like give him time, guys.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Fair.
And speaking of giving someone time, Jessica,
the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs.
Mike Tomlin has always had a winning season. Mike Tomlin has coached for
17 years, Stugatts, and he has always had a winning season. However, do you want to know how many
years in Mike Tomlin's 17 years, they've won a playoff game. Do you want to know in out of 17 years on Mike
Tomlund's resume, how many of those years have the Pittsburgh
Steelers won a playoff game? And he guesses? It's probably a lot
fewer than you would think. And he guesses five four four of the 17 seasons he has won a playoff game and now in Pittsburgh
not one but two radio hosts are calling for his firing because they lost two
really bad games in like five days because it's really hard to play football twice
in five days he's also won the biggest game twice.
Once he lost.
He lost it.
They lost to the Packers in 2011.
He's won two AFC Championship games, those two.
So you weren't far off.
But I think, I mean, OK, truly, I could talk about this for hours.
So I'll try to condense my thoughts into a few seconds.
There have been a lot of Steelers fans for the last, I want to say
five years since the end of the decline of the Rothless Burger era that have wanted
Tomlin to go because like you said, their postseason record has been wanting. They have
not played well in the postseason and they have had some really bad management, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
And for the last five years,
I've thought that the quarterback situation
has been holding them back.
And I also thought that Mac Canada
was not a great offensive coordinator.
And I think that maybe some of the personnel stuff
is, that's not on Tomlin,
but some of the coach assistant hiring,
that is on him.
And so I have disagreed with the people calling
for him to get fired.
But at this point, watching these last two games,
I think more Steelers fans than not
are starting to go in that direction.
Whoa.
And I don't, I really, really like Mike Talman.
I don't want him to get fired.
I don't think that he is incapable of coaching a winning team.
And I think that truly, that's crazy.
They have things like I think he's capable of coaching a team
in the playoffs and winning another Super Bowl.
But with this current team and this current roster
and this current coaching staff, that is not the case.
And these two back-to-back losses have been
probably among the worst of my lifetime as a Steelers fan
and maybe a lot of fans lifetime.
So it's a bad situation right now in their 7 and 6.
All right, but just to be clear, what Jessica just did in these radio hosts are doing and
it's happening in New England as well, Stu Gatz, because if you make all of this shit
unreasonable and we'll talk for hours and days about how could you be such an idiot to
line up offside.
You should be at the top of the AFC and now you're not.
You're going to have to road playoff game because you lost a buffalo.
There's a great indignity in that.
At the top of that sport, Mike Tomlin has won every single season more than he's lost
that he has coached a football team.
And Jessica is telling you, and she's not alone,
that the standard in Pittsburgh is a ridiculous place,
at least in part, because Mike Tonlin,
for 17 years, has over-achieved just about every year
before he gets to the playoffs.
That this year's Pittsburgh team,
which all of us knew from the start, wasn't any good,
that their offense was limited
and that Kenny Pickett is limited.
You do not agree.
I don't really agree.
So I think Kenny Pickett is definitely a problem.
I think there were expectations
that he would play better this season.
I think Joe Flacco now is tied with touchdowns,
touchdowns with Kenny Pickett.
He's like, what do you mean when you're saying that?
That's amazing.
Because I know you know, I know you know that's right.
And I felt that my, who were the passing leaders?
Yes, I will say that the Steelers skill position players are some of the best in the league.
And I think it's really disappointing given that they put a lot of effort into making
this year's roster better than last year's.
They improved on the offensive line, which has been playing, I think better the last few
games, although the results aren't there in terms of winning and losing.
And their skill position players are great.
Like Deonti Johnson's great.
George Pickens is great.
Pat Frymouth great tight end.
Najie Harris, Jalen Warren, great running backs.
It's just.
Najie made me not.
I really was the first round runner.
Yeah, first rounder.
Warren's good.
I really like it.
It should be better.
They're often just should be better.
And I think bringing back Canada for this season
and then firing him midway through the season, like that's a really bad move.
I also don't think it's entirely his fault. I think part of it is on picket for not being
at a place where I think the Steelers wanted to see him be at this point.
Is anyone just saying, but they're offense look the best that it had all season and then
can he pick a guy hurt? I know that they were struggling prior to the injury in that one
isolated game.
Not just hurt, but with the concussion issues
throughout all of last season and more this year
where you're like, did he get concussed again?
And Jessica, all fair, but I'm just trying,
what I'm trying to do here is show people
where the margins are on some of this stuff
organizationally, right?
Because the jets are a loser franchise.
The jets are gonna ruin Zach Wilson Zach Wilson yeah fifth leading passer
yeah and by the way TMZ is reporting that Aaron Rogers will be clear to play
on Christmas
oh no you're right the margins are razor thin and I think the I think like there's
so many things that went wrong over the last five years in Pittsburgh that I
don't really blame fans that want to change.
I just think like you could do so much worse than that.
Well, but you do realize.
And I really like it.
You do realize that as we talk about this, okay, this is what we're going to do now that
we're going to do this.
I just, I want like America to stand back and celebrate what we're now doing with football.
Shinn down, microscopic, referee suck, every game is this way,
could go either way, but the Steelers, whenever Mike Townland's
the coach, they win more than they lose.
And I don't think they're quarterbacks any good.
He was good when he was old at the University of Pittsburgh,
and I liked watching him at the University of Pittsburgh,
but I haven't seen him be in the pros, be anything other than
Brock Osweiler in a different, in a different uniform and body, because it's a whole lot
of short passes with all those skilled players.
This is next level because what they're saying is do it in the post season, but he's done
it in the post season.
That's correct, but only four of the years and one of those years did he win multiple
games.
So now, this is what I'm saying is where we are, which is Asinine.
Asinine. And she's not wrong is Asinine. Asinine, and she's not wrong.
Asinine!
Asinine!
The man has won for 17 straight years more than he has lost.
Fire him.
I don't think he'll get fired.
His contract's up at the end of next year.
Like, I don't think he's going to get fired.
Just for the right, the Steelers also, they're like the old school of old school.
They don't fire coaches.
They have had like three coaches in the modern era.
How do you want that second sewer ball?
I thought he won.
He'd be fine.
He wouldn't.
That is correct.
Jeremy, can you make sure to turn down my levels where I scream there?
Just put having music in there or something.
