Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Starbucks seasonal faves. They're an unlikely pairing. What if we could have the best of both worlds? That pair so well. A summer fling. With fall flavors? This fall, I mean summer, Starbucks brings you the ultimate seasonal romance with the new baked apple croissant and iced apple crisp non-dairy chai.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Don't miss out on our Summer Fling with Fall, only at Starbucks. This is the Don Lebator Show with the StuGuts Podcast. Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Very manly show today. Very testosterone-filled show today.
Starting point is 00:01:01 No estrogen in sight. I'm looking at the cast. I don't agree. Some estrogen? Hello! Why are you looking at me? Well, Billy, myself, Jeremy, like I don't think that we're dubbed manly men. Wow, so I am.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Chris, yeah, you're more... I feel like you're a dude, bro. I can play both sides. I tried to do a Connery there. I'm gonna turn my mic off. And Fass is on the wrong syllable. But no, Tony's got a mustache, so that makes him manly, and he's got the MMA hangout.
Starting point is 00:01:33 So Billy, Jeremy, and I, I think like we're, there's tiers here. Certainly not the first tier for me. Yeah, I think Chris, me, and Tony are tier one in perceived manliness. Billy, I'm not ranking these guys, I'm just saying there's two clear tiers here. Jeremy, I'm in the same tier with you.
Starting point is 00:01:50 All right, I'll take it. I won't, I won't, I'll be upset about it. Which is why I'm surprised that you would even consider that we're in the same tier, because honestly I would have figured you and Billy are the next and then I'd be below that. You grow a good beard though. Thank you, that does help.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Not enough people talk about it. You grow a very solid, solid beard. It means a lot to me. The last thing I wanna do is go back to yesterday's show, but does someone very manly play with their jawstrings when they're feeling uncomfortable? I feel like that puts me into the other category. We all have vulnerabilities.
Starting point is 00:02:15 The important thing, Chris, is not to talk about said vulnerabilities. Just keep it to yourself. That's what a manly man does. That's what your tier one. You bury them deep and you forget about it. You don't do therapy or anything like that, you just deal with it.
Starting point is 00:02:28 You don't admit that you do medium brown just for men on the sideburns because they're aging earlier than the rest of the beard. Dude, let me tell you something. This is, I wanna get to a lot of things today. I wanna talk about my Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket. Huge game. Huge game.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I wanna talk about your Georgia Tech Ramblin' Wreck too. Yeah. It's a massive game. I also wanna talk about your Georgia Jack Ramblin' Rec too. That's a massive game. I also want to talk about all the things that happened between the Phillies winning 30 games earlier this year and the White Sox winning 30 games. A lot has happened. A lot has happened. The world has changed dramatically. Jeremy's got that for us.
Starting point is 00:02:59 But I want to start here with this conversation about facial hair. Because it never ceases to amaze me how many women are like, I like for my significant other to grow his beard out, to grow the facial hair out. Because while I do accept that many of us look a lot better with facial hair, myself included, I think a beard makes me look more distinguished. You grow great beard.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I try, man. I try. This is a lot of grooming. I also notice that you don't have the sideburns. Is that because you're dealing with the sideburn gray issue? No. First of all, my grays are all on my chin. And I love the grays.
Starting point is 00:03:44 They have skyrocketed my stock on the market. Really? Oh of all, my grays are all on my chin, and I love the grays have skyrocketed my stock on the market. Really? Oh, they love the grays. I don't mind some grays in the beard whatsoever. It's the sideburns that kind of make me feel like I'm Donald Sutherland. I just, I like, I don't know, I've always liked a taper fade,
Starting point is 00:03:56 and I like the look of the top being faded in a fade. That's like I have two fades, one going up, one going down. I experimented with that look. I guess my fade isn't high enough. I can't pull it off. Yeah, no, it's... I go to my barber, like any white man, I ask for the Travis Kelcey.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And I'm just like not happy with the sideburns. You know he invented the fade. Oh, he invented the fade, he did, that's true. It's documented, him and Elvis inventing rock and roll. But I also feel like I look way better with a beard. That's because I'm not, if I were 205 pounds, I'd rock clean shaven. I'd actually have some sort of bone structure
Starting point is 00:04:32 that wouldn't be hidden behind some face fat. My wife prefers that I'm clean shaven because my beard scratches. I prefer the beard because I think it makes my face look a lot better, therefore I'm more confident in myself. I think the other thing about being clean shaven is, it's a lot of work, man. You gotta get up every day and like slather this shit on
Starting point is 00:04:51 and you gotta, are we sponsored by any razor company? I mean, we've had Dollar Shave Club do activations for us. I just, I also, you irritate the, you run the risk of irritating the skin a little bit more, getting like shaving bumps. So I prefer not to, but really it's because I got an Italian T-zone, I can get shiny, and if I'm clean shaven, an Italian T-zone.
Starting point is 00:05:12 What is an Italian T-zone? Everybody has a T-zone, but I have a really pronounced one because I got a big Roman nose, and I get shinier, and the more hair that is on my cheeks, the less surface area shine that you have in my face, so it's a guardrail against that. Is a T-zone like the Taco Bell version of the Pizone from Pizza Hut?
Starting point is 00:05:34 No, it's something on your face. I thought I explained it pretty well. I don't know, you just said, I have an Italian T-zone and you just did this. Yeah, T. Well, he did a T to it. He was like up and down, yeah, T. Forehead, down the nose to the lips, T-zone.
Starting point is 00:05:47 They call it a T-zone? Yeah, that's one of my issues. I'm like, Italian T-zone. Oh yeah, I understand, you're one of those. Is there a difference between Italian T-zone and say, Greek T-zone? Well, Mediterranean in nature. Not much, thankfully.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I do love my natural olive skin, which I think is from the Mediterranean. My Italian side is from Sicily, but my dad was also born in Cuba. But he's more on the white Hispanic side, more Spanish blood. I probably get the olive side from the Sicilians, believe it or not. This is very self-involved, and I don't think I have the appropriate buy-in from everybody else. I feel like I'm twisting in the wind here. I just know, I mean, look, I'm learning about the T-Zone, all right? Give me a break. I'm trying to keep up.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It does sound like a Pizza Hut special. Right, the T-Zone. Whatever happened to the regular Pizone? Did that kind of lose steam? It's always, it's never, I don't think it's a permanent item. It's like the McRib. Like they bring it back every time they want to get you excited because it reminds people of a time like,
Starting point is 00:06:44 oh, remember when we watched the All-star game slam dunk contest and we had those bazones and we had we just chugged some diet Pepsi Mountain we stayed up to like 1 30 a.m. Playing NCAA oh for man times were better Last week all those things last week like I do tonight. Look that the NCAA Because these guys walked into the studio today, Chris and Tony, and they had a full-on conversation about, man, I was in the middle of third down, da da da, and I was like, what game was on last night? I thought GT was the first game,
Starting point is 00:07:20 we were kicking off the whole season. No, the Game of the Century. You didn't watch BAM LSU yesterday? No, I didn't. Game of the Century. Game of the Century. So,. No, the game of the century. Didn't watch BAM LSU yesterday? No, I didn't. Game of the century. Game of the century. So, all right, the marketing, game of the century, usually Alabama and LSU do play game of the century,
Starting point is 00:07:32 but you said it was for everything, because in our online dynasty, for you, you feel like there's a possibility you can miss a college football playoff. It wasn't for everything for Alabama. They're pretty firmly entrenched. Taylor's got a CFP spot. You probably survived this loss as well. So it wasn't for everything, much like all the previous Alabama LSU game of the century types, because they just ended up having
Starting point is 00:07:55 a rematch like a couple weeks after that. Again, you know, it's the marketing. We've got to get everybody in under the tent. Why is it the game of the century? What's going on? Number one, number seven, there's one loss. A game of the century is never- L everybody in under the tent. Why is it the game of the century? What's going on? Number one, number seven, there's one loss. Unless you could miss this game, what's happening? I don't know. A game of the century, I think can only be number one versus number two. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:14 You were number one versus number seven. To dub it game of the century, when you're a one-loss seven seed doesn't make any sense. Oh, the seven seed already had a loss? Maybe we have one loss. Given the week that might be a noon start. That's not even like a prime time. If you have like a 2-4 match up that week,
Starting point is 00:08:29 like that's a nooner. Buddy, there was nothing bigger than Alabama LSU on the slate. Nothing. Those offenses, woof. So that sounds like game of the week. It was game of the year. Game of the year. It was game of the year.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Went from century to year. That's a lot. Well, again, it's the marketing is century, but then if we're talking amongst the boys, it's game of the year. It's a lot. Well again, it's the marketing and century, but then if we're talking amongst the boys, game of the year. It's a 99% discount right there. And what you heard was me Monday morning quarterbacking Tony of just like rewatching a play.
Starting point is 00:08:51 On a third down play. And just being like, how do you, cause Taylor's the safety on this one play, big third and five in the third quarter, Tony checks down to his tight end. When Taylor, who was the safety comes running up, a guy was going wide open down the seam and he just checks it down to take and I missed it yeah sorry
Starting point is 00:09:08 biggest biggest game of my life my bad new smire had thrown three picks already I couldn't go for another one thanks huh I would I would kill for a coach in the post game, like press conference. I missed them, sorry. Sorry, almost sue me. That would be awesome, man. Yeah. By the way, I firmly entrenched my tier two status by just immediately taking it to T-Zone talk, right? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And Jeremy, you were locked in, you were nodding along. Of course. Firmly entrenched T2 guys. Yeah, come on, I mean, you gotta take care of the T-zone. Everyone knows it, and if you don't, you're not part of tier two. Billy, you may be kicked out of tier two and move up to tier one.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Do you recognize the T-zone talk? I did not know what that was. Damn it, you're a tier one. I saw a picture of it, but I don't know what that was. You're a tier one guy. I think Tony kinda knows about the T-zone, he was kinda co-signing on that stuff. I've heard you talk about it before.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I've heard of low T. Heard you talk about it. Yeah, you see that? The big dog talks about that. The big hurt. Is that related? No, it's not. It could be though. I have a high T. They should use that.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I have a high T when it comes to low T. LT and that ED, those are, those cousins, they hate each other. That's what the big dog always says. The big dog. You make me laugh, man. Low T, they hate each other. That's what the big dog always says. You make me laugh, man. Where is this going though? Lo-T and E-D hate each other?
Starting point is 00:10:28 No, E-T doesn't hate. They're cousins. Yeah. They don't like each other. They don't get along, even though they're cousins. But they're related, that's why they're cousins. Yeah, they are. Well, they usually go hand in hand.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Hand in hand, that was. But they're cousins that don't like each other. Aren't they good friends? I forget his exact phrase. Yeah, I think they're good friends. It seems like they'd get along. Yeah. Like, Lo-T and E-D are very good friends. They get along the way that the Joker and Harley Quinn get along. Yeah, I think they're good friends. It seems like they'd get along. Yeah. Like, Loti and Edie are very good friends.
Starting point is 00:10:45 They get along the way that the Joker and Harley Quinn get along. Like, these are bad things. I've got Loti sitting there at the party and then Edie walks in and says, oh, here we go! No, I've got Edie. Let this guy in! I've got Loti's like, hey, get out of here, Edie, I'm already here. We don't need both of us here, that just ruins everything. They have to show up together, generally.
Starting point is 00:11:03 No, I feel like Loti shows up first, and then Edie comes, and then that's how Loti knows. Well, no, Edie often doesn't. That's a good point. Well, it's half the problem. Yeah. Yeah. The other half is, you know, Loti.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I think the reason why we started here is because before we went on the air, I looked at me, and I was like, so Tony's just straight up a mustache guy now. And it fits. Like, it's not most people that have a mustache, they do so to get attention. It's a novelty. They're known as a wacky mustache guy, but with you, it just fits and you've
Starting point is 00:11:28 just become a mustache guy and it's a serious mustache. It's, it's big, it's wide, it's bushy. Yeah. And my main question is anytime that I do a mustache, I usually do it for the novelty, although I think it fits and I like it, but my wife hates it. She hates the mustache. Hates it cause I'm willing to go clean shaven and spare her the lip hair, the chin hair and all the other stuff. But I need to have something on my face because of the Italian T zone,
Starting point is 00:11:56 but she hates it. Tony rocks it. And on top of that, Tony's got a wife that loves it. The mustache is clearly back in a big way. And I was somebody who was very nervous about doing the mustache. Maybe five, six, pre-COVID, five, six years ago, I was like, I don't know if I can just pull off just straight mustache.
Starting point is 00:12:14 The issue is that my beard is patchy. I have a patchy beard and like, I don't have the facilities to grow a great beard like Mike, like Amin, like Jeremy, like Chris. I think it's faculty. Thank you for including me. I was just like, man, he's not gonna say anything. What did I say?
Starting point is 00:12:29 You said facility, which is a new show with Emanuel Arcio. Oh, my bad, I had that on the brain. Yeah, I had that on the brain. Let me explain. The facility, the facility. Great name, by the way. I think you meant faculty. The faculty's to grow a great beard, whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Long story short, during COVID, I would do what all men do, which is shave the closer mustache that goes handlebars all the way down. You start doing the wacky closer mustache. She started hating it. The Brian Harvey. Exactly, so I started getting creative with the mustache,
Starting point is 00:12:57 and then I trimmed it to like a regular stash. Get those handlebars outta here, she said. She didn't like it at the beginning. She's like, I don't know, like this look is kinda weird, whatever. Cruising for something. Yeah, and I. She didn't like it at the beginning. She's like, I don't know, like this look is kind of weird, whatever. Cruising for something. Yeah, and I'm like, hey, this is me now.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And then she's like, OK. And then about like a week after, she's like, you know what? I like it. And then I was like, yeah. And then obviously when you start wearing the shirts, when you wear the college shirts, and you show a little bit of the chest here, you got the mustache, you got the gold chain,
Starting point is 00:13:21 like things start changing in a relationship when you start seeing a little bit more of the animalistic side of So the mustache tapped into a more primal side of you you became you became a better lover I mean, I've always been there you've always been a solid lover. We knew that you would ask her Not changed at all Like this guy's not good at it. Yeah, I think the mustache has changed external perceptions, right, where people are like, wow, that guy's confident.
Starting point is 00:13:52 If he's gonna wear a mustache, he's gonna be confident. And then I like to do that once in a while. A little goatee action. I call that one the Jalen Hurts. Oh, I don't like that. Honestly does look like Jalen Hurts. Yeah, the Jalen Hurts is weird. Yeah, no, I shaved it, but I like to do stuff like that. Yeah, I used to just not have the sole patch here, In the NFL, there is no margin for error.

Starting point is 00:15:20 But it's just his titties are sitting on the shelf that is his belly. Stugats. He said titties are sitting on the shelf that is his belly. Stugots! He said titties and it like shocked me a little bit. I wasn't quite prepared for titties. This is the Don LeBathard Show with the Stugots. You know what I've noticed? I've noticed these goddamn Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are fired up and ready to take on Dublin, Ireland.
Starting point is 00:15:44 So the line opened up, courtesy of our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook, that line opened up at 13 and a half. And there's all sorts of stories how the Sharps are firmly backing the Ramblin' Wreck here. It's now down to 10 and a half, a three point move, neutral site game, although Florida State's athletic director steady anticipates in the neighborhood of 30,000 Florida State Seminole fans in Dublin, Ireland. I imagine that's a really fun game to travel to. But I have a lot of questions about FSU. Quite the offseason, a lot of turnover on the roster. Yeah, they've turned their program around. Norville appears to be a good hire. I think Georgia Tech is a well-coached team. I think it has too many points. It's early in the season.
Starting point is 00:16:25 It's a unique spot. And I'm putting the town on alert. This is upset alert, upset alert, upset alert. Putting the town on alert here. I think Georgia Tech can win this game straight up. Put the town on alert. It might be your greatest impression ever. It's very limited, but it's.
Starting point is 00:16:44 It sounded so, cause you know what? The production, the acoustics on it. Yeah. Made it sound like it was ripped off. Yeah, it's all like. It's a town on alert. I legitimately still think that's Pierce Brosnan, though I'm told it's me and I'm waiting
Starting point is 00:16:56 for the call from the Cinepho. How, how is it you? But this is, granted, I'm literally wearing a Miami logo on my shirt right now, so you know my bias here. But I think Georgia Tech can at least keep this one close. I don't understand the spread. This is music to my ears because I have been kind of
Starting point is 00:17:15 on the outs with Georgia Tech for a long time. I just haven't been as engaged an alum as I should be. I mean, you had Paul Johnson. You played a style that didn't really, and Georgia, low key dude, you can stack Georgia up with the likes of Texas and Florida and California. There's actually been more higher end talent, you can make a solid argument,
Starting point is 00:17:37 that Georgia's now kinda alpha when it comes to high school recruiting, and you used to play a style that did nothing to use those athletes. They have essentially one in-state option in Georgia if they wanted to play big-time power conference football. Yeah the problem with GT obviously it's like it's a really tough academic school too so that that kind of limits the options. There's always ways around them. Well you're telling me I went there. But you know it's
Starting point is 00:18:02 it's it's one of those things where I started, I went to a game at UCF, Georgia Tech at UCF a couple of years ago with some friends of mine that I went to college with. Did GT win that one? No. Char Jon. No, that was Paul Johnson's like,
Starting point is 00:18:16 okay, he's gonna get fired any day now, at that moment. Then last year we went to obviously to GT Miami and I was like, that's cool, to be on the winning side of that. He's like, oh, maybe I do want, that to GT Miami and I was like, that's cool, to be on the winning side of that. It was like, oh, maybe I do want. That was the first time I understood like, oh, this is why Mike does all this shit,
Starting point is 00:18:31 like getting involved and stuff. It's fun, it's cool. So I looked around, I was watching, we winning this game, I'm like, I wanna be on the sidelines. I wanna be the alum who's like, oh, there's Amino Haslem standing there with a GT kind of quarter zip on and kind ofino Haslem standing there with a GT kinda quarter zip on
Starting point is 00:18:46 and kinda like just clapping my hands with a little lanyard. Oh man, I wanna do that. It's nice, it's a nice perk and then you actually do the giving and you realize like, well what? I think there's a way around that. I feel like I can-
Starting point is 00:18:58 This hurts? Well, here's the thing, Mike. I think I can provide a level of exposure that is worth more money than I could ever donate. And here's why, folks. Let me explain. So, Georgia Tech, most of their alums are athletes. Like Megatron.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Most of the ones that we know. Most of the famous. It's impossible. Most of the famous. Most of their alums are not athletes. Well. Most of their alums are engineers, I would say. Most of the famous al we know. Most of the famous. It's impossible. Most of the famous. Most of their alums are not athletes. Most of their alums are engineers, I would say. Most of the famous alums are athletes, right? Who's their most famous non-athlete alum?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is one that people say, I still don't believe it. I don't think he went to school. You don't think he went there? No. You're asking for the transcripts? Like what's going on?
Starting point is 00:19:42 This is like a weird birther theory. No, it's not that. It's like wasn't bored in the u.s I feel like if you if you if you came to get your graduate degree there you didn't go to school there man like like that kind of like you with Arizona State because Theoretically geographically you would be a big for yeah I live there I am a big forks up guy when when it suits when it it behooves you. Yeah, when it behooves me. It does not behoove at this point in time.
Starting point is 00:20:07 The guy who runs the Coca-Cola company. He's not famous. Nobody knows who that guy is, right? Jeff Foxworthy is on that list, right? Yeah. Well, that's funny. And then Amino Hasson's on that list. I'm dead serious.
Starting point is 00:20:19 We don't have like, Julia Roberts went to college here, or Paul Giamatti. We don't have people like that. We don't have Huba St Roberts went to college here or Paul GMI, we don't have people like that. We don't have Huba Stank went to college here or they met here. You don't have McConaughey on your sideline. No man, so it's like, yo, I'm here, I'm active, I got something of a platform and I know people. And that's the important thing about being
Starting point is 00:20:40 in the booster game, like you gotta know people. Hey kid, you wanna meet Dan Leventhal? I can make that happen. I would say that you probably would be doing it the right way. By the way, I got confused with the UCF Georgia Tech thing. Georgia Tech did beat them in the bowl game. This past year.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah. Most recently. But so here's all you need to know about NIL. The Saudis, known for spending on sports recklessly, right? Reportedly, a staffer from Colorado could travel and seeks an investment, an NIL investment from the Saudis. I did not know you could do that.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Can you do that? I mean, take a good look at Texas A&M, you can. You could. You could. There's stuff there. But the Saudis were like, I mean, because we know they didn't end up doing it, best of our knowledge anyways. So the Saudis, who spend recklessly, looked at this and they're like, well this isn't worth it, this is silly. And that tells you everything that you need to know about what's at stake with NIL. I don't do it to return investment. Now, I have built really good relationships. I really valued my NIL deal with Destiny Harden. And I do know that it impacts
Starting point is 00:21:54 lives positively. And if you can make connections with these people that you're impacting their lives, it's a beautiful thing. But largely, this is just to bring my program back. And that's all I get out of it. I'll get an occasional great relationship with a student athlete that it changes their life that's amazing but I'm doing this to bring my program back and that's it what do you get you get to be happier no you get to be cool you get to be cool you have to be the guy that goes to the games you get good see you see with a name on it people yeah people come up to you shake your hand people like who's that guy?
Starting point is 00:22:25 Although it's problematic for me, because on my box, it says the Ruiz family. Oh, no. Why would you do that? Well, because I'm not going to put the Ryan family. Who are these guys? It's a stage name. And also, my box is next to the other Ruiz family.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Brother, you're complaining about stage name. Meanwhile, FIU plays at Pitbull Stadium. Hell yeah, pause up. Come on, man. I mean, I've done like, when I had a luxury box, I had like sayings, like it's all about the you, the you invented swagger, but like for this box, it's a nice thing.
Starting point is 00:22:58 While I have this stage name and this weird John Ruiz thing is hanging over it, it's nice for my daughter to take a photo from our luxury couches there and it has a Ruiz family there. So, in the Saudi situation with Colorado, do you think the Saudis had a guy that just knows ball? Like they look at the guy like, where's my boy that knows football? Hey, come over here. What do you think about this? And he's like, I don't know about that one. Yeah. Noted to be very conservative with the money that they spend. Saudi Arabia decided, you know what, this is just not for us.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I don't blame anybody for not giving an NIL. I see the benefits of it, and I've had genuine good relationships with people that it's impacted. But also, here's a really undersold portion of it. There's tremendous networking. I'm in rooms that I genuinely don't belong into, I've made lifelong friendships, it's great for networking.
Starting point is 00:23:48 No, for real, no, for real. It's John Ruiz' thought, money dries up and they want nothing to do with you. What was the guy, the little guy that ran around? And that's what Nevin thought also, lifelong friendships. So he's operating in bad faith. But no, there's good stuff. I appreciate the banter there.
Starting point is 00:24:07 But no, I've made really strong relationships. And that's what I've gotten out of it. But I don't blame anybody for being like, that's a waste of money. Juju, put it on the poll. Do you really appreciate the banter when you say the words, I appreciate the banter there? I do.

Starting point is 00:27:46 I'm gonna be using it a bunch this football season. I love the Game Time app, and I love college football now because I want to be a Georgia Tech kind of influencer. So you went to the Georgia Tech Miami game last year, and I was heartbroken because of how that game developed, but you didn't know, I told you afterwards that you were in my line of view. Like I saw you the entire game, I saw you crestfallen, but I also saw you-
Starting point is 00:28:14 Never saw me crestfallen. No, no, no, I saw you like, kind of like, shut up. You were giving, you were talking a lot of stick to the people around you, but I saw like the absolute heights of euphoria that, and it's just like, I was dealing with my own stuff because also I'm like, what am I doing with my life? What am I doing with my finances in that moment?
Starting point is 00:28:32 What are we doing as a program? There was a lot going on there, and just you at the corner of my eye. Cackling. And it's like one of the worst people to give that dub to. Just like one of the worst. You do not let a meme get a dub like this. But to be honest with you, because we were bad last year.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So we went into that game fully expecting to get our heads bashed in. And so it was a big joke. Everyone around us was cool. All the Miami people, because we were joking with them. Every time we got our first down because of a penalty, I was like, yeah! It was a weird game, Log.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Because it was an awful game. Yeah, because like, yeah! It was a weird game, Vlok. Because it was an awful game. Yeah, because like, It was an awful game. Yeah, Miami had several opportunities to kind of put it away that you never felt like they were in danger of losing until they had actually like lost. Like it was one of those things where like,
Starting point is 00:29:15 I guess if we get like a 60 yard reception here, like it was one of those things where we like, the most improbable thing needed to happen for us to have a chance to win the game. Several improbable things happened. And they all happened. But for the most improbable thing needed to happen for us to have a chance to win the game. Several improbable things happened. And they all happened. But for the most part, we were having fun, and the people in front of us were having fun,
Starting point is 00:29:31 we're joking around, I'm like, yeah, you know, like we had lost, I can't remember who, we lost to like some, not Middle Tennessee State. No, you lost to like a Mac team. Was it Bowling Green? Yeah, Bowling Green. So like, then there's this guy who didn't get the joke. Every time we're celebrating, yes, first down.
Starting point is 00:29:48 The refs are our best player. We're making it obvious we're a terrible team. Super serious Miami fan guy. He was like, how many national championships? I'm like, what are you talking about? We lost to bowling green last week. You thought on national championship? So then it turned into, you know what?
Starting point is 00:30:01 I just want to piss this guy off. And so I just went Adam and Adam and Adam and Adam and then luckily for him, he left before the big collapse. Because. And he's probably to this day saying, thank God I left before that collapse. It was one of those things where you kinda just gotta accept, man let people be, I can't be happy my team
Starting point is 00:30:22 just scored, we scored a field goal, I can't be happy. So every time something good would happen, I would turn around and I'd ask him permission. Like is it, can I clap now? Is it good? Okay. Guys, it's good to clap. It's good to clap. I'll just kept doing that. I'll bring in like opposing fans into my section. I just asked them to like subscribe to decorum like cause we're in the golden cage. We don't, we don't curse. Yeah. We don't. And I think you should subscribe to decorum in the lower bowl. Don't be disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:30:49 You can banter the team, but you start getting personal. There's a line that you cross. Look, most people probably don't believe this, because I don't typically talk about fandom. I'm not usually going to games as a fan. It's weird to see you like that. Like it was weird to turn to my right and occasionally see you like selfie style video.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Like, oh my God, I'm so happy. Like, I can't believe this is my life. Yeah, no, I'll tell you what it is. I, a long time ago, perfected, like I will never ever be ejected or kind of reprimanded for something explicit or whatever. I'm gonna get kicked out because people are gonna
Starting point is 00:31:28 wanna fight me. Like I'm gonna just say things, right? And a lot of it's very heavy. I realize a lot of people don't like sarcasm. A lot of people really don't like sarcasm, particularly in the sporting space. So in soccer, for instance, and this is something, this is very Sudanese thing, when the opposing team,
Starting point is 00:31:48 like somebody makes a strike and misses the goal by a lot. Misses a sitter. Like just wide right, Scott Norwood style, right? The entire crowd will sarcastically in unison say, go! Like that's just a thing people do. And it sucks when you're on the other side of that, you're like shut up, just shut up.
Starting point is 00:32:10 So I've kind of taken that ethos and applied it to American sports. But again, I don't go to basketball games as a fan. So I don't get to do any of my sarcastic things. I just sit there and kind of like. You do for Georgia Tech though, right? Like they made a final four. So Georgia Tech basketball. They had Like they made a final four so so Georgia Tech basketball and jerry jaggers
Starting point is 00:32:27 Well, and now now Damon Stoudemire is our coach Bonsie Wells is on the staff and I'm like, you know what? I kind of want in on GT basketball He's on the staff and Bonsie's on the staff because I went to a Miami Georgia Tech game last year that Georgia Tech won my Record at Miami Georgia Tech came is awful Like I've never been with a mean where Miami's played Georgia Tech and seen Miami win. Remember with Jay Wakefield like five years ago? Yeah, and you were in your element. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:32:52 My record going to games which probably serves Florida, my record just watching Miami over the last 20 years is just dreadful. Mike, this is the funny thing about that night at Jay Wakefield is that Mike was like, yeah this is gonna be be a real blowout. He had this cocky, kind of like, OK, there's Georgia Tech guys. What are we going to do?
Starting point is 00:33:08 About Georgia Tech? No, I think that game. No, five years, that Georgia Tech team was terrible. Yeah, that was a game that we had. D'Onofrio lined up in a goal line package, he went three down linemen, and had four linebackers, seven yards deep in the end zone. That was just like terrible coaching.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Golden. Golden Canes. Yeah, there you go. Speaking of Canes, you guys see who was in Canes gear yesterday on the internet? No. I did, I thought of you. AJ and Big, the boom!
Starting point is 00:33:38 I don't know what they were doing. Are they getting paid to do these things at this point or you think it's just like, hey, we'll give you a jersey? Who are these people? You don't know AJ and Big Justice? The Costco guys? The Costco guys. I'm gonna throw the U.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Chicken bake, a double chunk. A double chunk chocolate cookie. That was Cookie Monster. A double chunk chocolate cookie. Wait, what is this? It's still Cookie Monster. What am I watching on my screen right now? AJ and Big Justice.
Starting point is 00:34:02 The internet sensations, AJ and Big Justice, a father and son who have just gone viral for being Costco guys. They toss paper towels to each other. They eat chicken bakes. They eat double chunk chocolate cookies. What do Costco guys mean? Like you go to Costco for lunch? That's a Costco guy?
Starting point is 00:34:15 They just posted videos. Chicken bakes. At Costco. Yeah, and they've gone insanely viral and they're everywhere. They're kind of cringe. I don't want to say that. Why would you say that?
Starting point is 00:34:23 You guys seem all too enthusiastic. I'm gonna go to Billy, because Billy, it feels like. No, don't. Come on, they're kinda cringe. I don't wanna say that. Why would you say that? You guys seem all too enthusiastic. I'm gonna go to Billy, because Billy, it feels like. No, don't. Come on, get around us here. It's a father and a son, it's a beautiful relationship. Big Justice is the kid, by the way. Yeah. Just watch their videos.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Hopefully, UM signs him, because the bat speed is just undeniable on this kid. Wait, the kid plays baseball? He's a multi-sport athlete. I saw him going at baby grunk. Tackle dummy too? Yeah. Doesn't stand a chance.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You don't know who the Rizzler is either? Where are you? Like, what world are you living in? Oh, the Rizzler. The Riddler or Rizzler? Rizzler. Rizzler. You know what?
Starting point is 00:34:56 You're already embarrassing yourself too much. I saw this collaboration. I'm like, wow, Miami's brand is immense. This is bigger than the Drake video by far. This is the coolest thing that Miami's ever done now like we're a desirable brand you get AJ and big justice You might actually be back. They gave the facility three booms by the way really yeah I have five oh at a five yeah, I mean what gets a show the facility No, like they were at the no me being able to grow a beard. It's really hard to get five booms
Starting point is 00:35:24 Yes, they know five booms is tough, but they give a lot of Costco stuff five booms clearly in the chicken bake clearly gets I paid by Costco They're not at this point. I mean they're doing something wrong. No, they're not they do it for free Why why do I need to pay of the game? Okay, so all right, let me I'm gonna throw some coal wands. They do Costco reviews. I mean so they love everything. On a boom system.
Starting point is 00:35:51 On a boom system sometimes. Where one boom is like this isn't great. Like they were at McDonald's a few weeks ago like let's do the Big Mac! For BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! They gotta give the booms with the throwing up of the elbow, but they also give dooms do so it's like Boom and doom you don't see a lot of doom. What is do me like? They're generally getting invited places So they they play ball. What are you doing?

Keith Lee was an MMA fighter and somehow he stumbled upon doing restaurant reviews on TikTok. But Keith Lee is a really particular kind of guy. He has a very particular type of speaking.
