You're.

Listening to DraftKings Network.

This.

Is the Dan.

Leviton Show with the Stugartz Podcast.

Charlotte, count.

Us in. Five... Wait, do I turn two on?

Yes, you turn two on two. Five... Well, no, your mic is on. That's just a means.

Let's just start.

Okay, cool. Hello.

Well, this is a problem. Mike has had a problem recently, Charlotte. You got to get better at this. Everyone around here needs to get better at this. Mike's scared to leave that seat because clearly, I'm not trustworthy of this state. I'm unstable, and there are a lot of plates spinning, and he needs that seat to be able to do certain things that when Roy is not here, see, Roy, people don't know this, Roy handles that part way. Mike doesn't have to worry about anything when Roy is over there handling some of those things that are audio. But we don't have a lot of other producers who have bothered to learn any of that.

Yes. Well, I want you to know that I am doing my best. I'm trying to be a sponge for the information. Now I know to push these two buttons and my button and to count down, I didn't do that.

You want to do it right now? Yeah. We're not on air yet. So if you want to do it right now, you can do it.

Five, four.

Three, two- Please stop interrupting her. She has to restart it every time somethingthat.

Last time.

Five, four- Just one more time, though. Are you going to learn this? Five. Will you learn it anytime soon? Five. Do you be too busy eating blue cheese and pears to ever learn?

I'm going to try that. I don't like either of those individuals. Visually.

Five, four.

Three- Travis is.

Not good at counting.

How is that? God damn it.

Okay, Travis, Kelsey is planning a birthday party for Taylor Swiffer. That's what I want to talk about, Dan. Because he said it's going to be over the top. It's going to be the best thing you ever saw. You ain't never seen anything like this. Sean Stalato actually is planning it. But I want to think of the best player. Sure, you could take her to anywhere in the world. You're both unbelievably rich, right? He needs to zig where everybody would zag. He needs to do like... He needs to rent out a Dave and Busters and throw the greatest party you've ever seen at a Dave and Busters or a rainforest cafe. I'm really hoping that's what we get.

From this. But you can't buy it out, though, because then it'll just be so obvious that you're rich and we have this whole place. You want it to seem like a normal thing, so you have to hire a bunch of people to just be at Dave and Busters so they can act normal. They can be at the seaball machine without being bothered. But they still want to have people around, so it feels like they're in a normal setting. You need to hire, I'd say what, like 50, 100 actors just to be in the Dave and Busters and not talk to them.

That's not zicking. Zicking is saying, You know what? We're not doing anything because birthdays are dumb. Why am I going to.

Extend- You're taking in here.

Of course. Cool tortilla blanket.

You want to, instead of talking about Taylor Swift and romance and Travis Kelsie and the hot story, you want to talk about birthdays are overrated? That's what you want to do?

I just feel like if you lead with, I don't celebrate birthdays, it saves a lot of trouble of.

Figuring out what to do with people's birthdays. What is the pressure on this? Doesn't DiCaprio rent out Dodge Stadium? Isn't that a thing that pop stars do or young people where they'll have a can? Didn't Biber do candlelight dinner at the forum or something where they just rent out these giant places? Can he be on how it is that he does a birthday for Taylor Swift? Is there too much pressure on it?

No. That's what I'm saying. You're never going to be able to hit the highest mark. So just say, I don't do it.

Also, he's the poor one here. You know what I mean? So he can't get her anything that she doesn't already have or can't get herself.

Which is why you've got to go weird with it. That's why you've got to do something she would never do, like the Buffalo Wildwings and Times Square, which was actually the last place that I ate before the pandemic hit. Fun fact.

A little bonus fact from the weird eater.

Yep.

Blue cheese there. You had plenty of pears and blue cheese.

Where was the last place you ate?

Before the pandemic?

Yeah. Like when shit.

Went down. Yeah, when Tom Hanks got it.

Was.

This before Rudy Gobert?

I think of Gobert first.

For me.

Like-i don't know. What's Tom Hanks?

For me, shit went down, and I'm not trying to one-up. No, no, no. But shit went down for everybody. We all agree. Tom Hanks getting it and the Rudy Gobert thing, that was.

Like, Oh, shit. I was at a laundromat.

Yeah, but slightly before then, we had to put things in place.

Wait a minute. What?

Yeah, I was at a laundromat when Tom Hanks got it. Never forget.

So you were out at a place where you could have caught it?

Yeah. Everybody was. It's when it got raw. I had to wash my comforter, and the washer-dryer unit that we had in our apartment wasn't big enough for the comforter. So we walked over to the laundromat over there on Alton Road or whatever it was, and we were washing our Comforter. Then I found out Tom Hanks had it. Then I found out that... Oh, God, what was the name of the...

You'll get there.

I found out Sarah Palin was on The Mass Sing Baby, got back at the same time. It was a crazy night.

Neither of those things are very comforting pieces of information.

We'll get back to Travis, Kelsey. I remember the Sunday before, everybody wanted to go out on the boat because it was like, What's going to happen? Let's have one good day on the boat. So I went out on the boat, found a ramp that wasn't closed. Then I got a phone call while I was on the boat from my bosses at ESPN saying that this host had just dropped off remote equipment and we were going remote beginning that Monday.

I thought you meant the host of the disease.

Yeah. I was like, Oh, my God. No, it was Amber. Amber had a remote kit and we needed that to do our show. Espn decided, All right, Mike, go to the Clevelander and get it. I'm like, Wait, so you don't want us going to the Clevelander for work, but you're having me go to the Clevelander right now as everyone is raging, thinking that it might be the last rage or ever. You want me to just walk through that? I'm presently on a boat. I got dropped off at a dock. I had to call an Uber, and I went straight to the Clevelander, threw a lot of people breathing out of their mouths. That's how we got the show up and running that following year.

Didn't you send me to Amber? I remember going to Amber's house.

Yeah, you went to Amber's house. You dropped it off at the Clevelander. I picked it up. We both risked life and life.

Yeah, look at me. It trickled down, $50 million, like there it was. There it is. And Stephen A. Smith now has learned that what he has to do is find the amount of money that they're paying McAfee outside of ESPN. It's a real twist that that whole thing took, again, at a company that made Mike go out into the virus, and Mike then sent Chris out to the virus because we couldn't get a microphone.

It was.

Early on. Yeah, he was just meeting up with Amber, and then he went to the computer. I don't...

I think she put it somewhere. We didn't go near each other. She put it down, walked away, and then I went and got it.

-and then he went straight to.

South Beach. -what a time. We thought we were all living in Contagion, right? Where we didn't.

Know it was... I miss it.

Was that before masks? I don't even remember.

We weren't masking up.

-yeah.

This was pre-masks. Yeah, they were like, Don't wear masks. Wash your hands.

It causes it.

It causes it. It was a fun time, man. I won't lie, Billy.

You miss it?

Yeah, I used to walk up on the grass, on rocks, on all kinds of things. If someone was walking within four feet of me when I was walking my dog, I was off that sidewalk. I was all road, four-wheel drive hit.

I avoided so many people at the grocery store.

Is that a.

Sea lion? Well, no, I was going to say something, but she was going... I just remember literally holding my breath while I'm walking by people in public. I remember that time of like, I'm good. I held my breath. Yes. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good.

That was good. I held my breath. Yes. That all the time. Do you remember? Fits me. Everyone became a survivor contestant. They were wearing the buffs around their nose. I love that buff.

I missed that.

See- And then they said that the buff didn't do anything.

Then they said, Yeah, they were like, Oh, the bandana you've been wearing, that looks pretty cool.

Badass.

Right? Pretty cool. I liked it. They were like, You got to wear these-.

Was it like P-90 or something?

I did that bandana over a mask, and then I was walking down the street and almost died. I was cutting off all possible air from.

Getting in. You were the most vigilantly scared, correct?

I mean, Billy has been washing his groceries since before the pandemic. For seven years, Billy's been washing his groceries.

Same. Dude, when it came out and they were like, You should carry hand sanitizer at all times. You should stay away from people. Don't get on planes. If you have a mask, wear it eventually. I was like, You guys haven't been doing this? I've been a hypochondra in my whole life. I have a hand sanitizer in every single backpack I own. I think I only own one backpack, but I have a few hand sanitizers.

You have one hand sanitizers ahead of your time.

All right, so where does Kelsey take Taylor's sweat?

It's a great question she's asking because I do think this is now pressurized in a way that's not terribly reasonable. Maybe he already knows her so well that he could buy the syrup romantic gift. But look at him.

I'm telling you, she just wants to do normal things. Just book a commercial flight.

What's more normal than forgetting her birthday?

I feel like you're not dating Travis, Kelsey, to get swept off your feet.

Right. Yes, that's exactly why.

No, she has everything. You got to bring regular life back to her.

That's what she wants. But he could reach her with romance if he knows something that will move her in a spiritual place about her.

And then telling you it's Dave and Busters.

I'm with Charlotte.

I feel like he burps in front of her already, and she likes.

That normalcy. 1,000 %.

That he's.

Just a- I do think it's a refreshing change of pace for her because Travis, Kelsey is as close to a normal guy in terms of her dating catalog that she's ever going to find. And she probably finds it. Look at this guy you just farted. Can you imagine that? Harry never did that.

Her life has to be super weird, right? Before him, the things in her life must be... If she's selling out arenas of 100,000, the hardest ticket in entertainment, where people are outside of the arenas singing her songs, certainly she's being treated like an entertainment economy with every whim and desire catered to by every human being in her orbit, correct?

Yeah. She said before the Midnight's album came out, she was like, I struggle sometimes with not feeling like a person because this is insane, basically. I think that Travis Kelsey is... I mean, he also is so publicly proud of her and wants to be seen with her. All of her other boyfriends were like, running away. No shit. Okay. Of course. No, but they all weren't. They were all like, Oh, she's more successful than I am.

I hate it. And what did none of them give her? Ski ball, Papa shot. Exactly. Tickets that you can use to buy things. Buy things that currency can't buy. Where are you going to get a spider ring from? Where are you going to get the finger trap from?

Bouncy.

Ball. Where are you going to get that? Money can't buy that. You need tickets. And where do you get them?

Dmbs. You know they don't even do tickets anymore. It's all electronic. On the card. It's all just like I give them my card or I got a 900 tickets.

Did COVID ruin this, too?

Do you see the meme where it was like, what if Dave and Busters were the same guy behind Barnes and Noble? So it was Dave, Noble... Wait.

Oh, here we go.

Here we go.

You'll find it. Here we-.

We got.

David, Buster, Barnes and Noble. I'm not going to cook. Hold on a second.

15 seconds.

I don't know.

Dave, Noble and.

Buster Barnes. What? They're only 10 seconds left.

Barnum.

And Bailey. You got to hit it with.

The clock. Dave, Noble and Buster Barnes.

You got to draw it out a little bit more in five seconds.

Dan.

Buster.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Dan Lebertard. They would try to bring in some minority characters, and you could- Who did they did? Yeah, they tried.

Louis Aguirre was one of them. They tried to dabble in Latin flavor, and they went and.

Got- Morris Chesnut was one, I think. Morris. Morris Chesnut, I'm sorry. God, what a beef cake in that show. Miranda, why don't you stay with him? I mean, we're going to go with Steve on this one, seriously? Spoogots. Oh, no. Clear out. I have to issue her an apology.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Is it a sex in the city apology?

I would like to formally apologize to Blaire Underwood for calling him Morris Chesnut.

Oh.

No. Wow.

Look. L.

A. Law, man. Come on, yo. This is the Dan.

Levator.

Show with the Stugats.

The dude from Dave and Busters killed himself, by the way.

Oh, God.

Oh, Jesus. Dave or Buster?

I think Buster.

Killed himself.

Oh, Buster. It is more of a Buster than anything.

-billy, where'd your mustache go?

-take me instead.

Billy, where are your mustaches?

The adhesive part is really hard to get off. What do you mean? I was doing too many changes during the Delaney that I ran. I was pacing myself to have a different one.

-is that a weird thing for you? Is that the weird way you call delays? What? The way you're like during the Delaney. I know that, but people with no context- I know that. During the Delaney. I was like.

It's just a funky way of saying delay. I think we have a new category of what used to be sports radio. How do you talk about grief, the worst kind, with an old-time baseball player in the background who's editing God-blessed football?

That's Delaney. I have somewhere I want to take this segment. I do. I've been watching some of these daytime television shows on Mute, and I can see everyone is playing this Cam Newton clip. It's pretty inflammatory. He's calling a lot of quarterbacks game managers. We're going to play it. I'm going to get you a read on it right now.

Lamar Jackson, obviously Patrick Mahomes, Jack Prescott.

Brack, Parity.

But Brock, they're.

Not winning because of him. He's not turning the ball over. He's managing the game.

And if we were to put that in.

Its.

Own.

Right as game.

Managers.

Brock, Parity.

To a tongue of a lower.

Jared Goff.

And.

Really, dad, Prescott.

These are.

Game managers.

They're not.

Difference makers. And when you say.

Game.

Manager, I'm not asking you to go out and win the game. I'm just asking you not to lose. Not to lose it. Not to lose the game. Listen, my.

I don't give a.

Damn what.

You do.

You don't have to score every time. You just don't have to throw a pick every time either.

If we're.

Going to really call a spade a spade.

A.

Game manager is different than.

A game changer. How long do you think it takes him to get dressed in the morning?

Thank you. My whole take here is everyone's just talking about how he insult at all these quarterbacks, and Kim Newton has seemingly lulled everybody into thinking that this get-up is fine.

What is.

He wearing? This is ridiculous.

He has an Oxford shirt under a Christmas vest with a tie, but the collar is up.

I think.

That's leader, Hosen.

I think he buried the lead with that hat. Right?

He's.

Wearing- How did you go there first?

He's got a marching band to conduct a hat. Because I was trying to figure out what the.

Combination of shirts were. No, what is the hat? First, okay, let me explain this to the audience.

That is leader, Hosen.

Let me explain to the audience, the audio audience that is still, for me, the most precious audience, but we got to grow out video. This hat, someone explain it to the audio audience that cannot see what this hat is. What is that hat?

Do you remember the mouse from Dumbo?

Yeah. That's the hat. It looks like the taste of peaches and blue cheese.

Okay. Amazing. By the way, the mouse from Dumbo... So amazing.

The mouse from Dumbo sounds like Tommy DeVito's agent.

I think his name is Timothée.

This is like a- Chalamet. If there was a Christmas tree that came in contact with the oos that made the Ninja Turdles, and that overnight animated and became someone that delivers.

Quarterback to you. At Oktoberfest.

What is the symbol that's on the hat? Is that a woman that looks like Saigon?

For the audience, the hat is big as his head, correct? The hat is bigger than his head, bigger than the entirety of his head.

The hat is high. It's a high hat above his head. It looks like a cowboy hat with a baseball brim felt.

And it's wearing a belt. Yeah, it is. That is wearing.

His hat's due. I'm going to take the sound off, but can we put it in motion again? Because does he have his logo on? Okay, no, that was a digital logo. Yeah, just put it in motion. I want to see this thing, how it moves. I want to see it in the light. I want to... Also a ridiculous take. They're not.

Winning because of him.

Oh, I don't think it's a.

Ridiculous take. He's managing the game.

Oh, come on, Dan. Come on. It's not a ridiculous take.

Well, those.

Are.

Overalls.

It's a leader, Hosen.

It has to be. Oh, man. I thought that.

Was just a design. I didn't know that- He's wearing a tie that is tucked under a sweater. He has his collar up around the tie. This is an.

Absurd get-up. I don't hate it. He's pulling it off. I don't hate it. I actually don't. He pulls everything on. I think layering is very cool.

It's been in for years. I want him to physically pull this off.

I just wonder, does he go to publics?

Well, do you guys not think, forgive me, when you say you want him to physically pull this off, you don't think his entire life is a famous person? Everybody's wanted to pull that off of him. We just talked about Taylor Swift. What he's talking about, the meat of what he's talking about is that these other quarterbacks are not the stars that he is that he was in college.

That's always the prism that he applies his take-it-to-which is it always comes back to Cam. Matter of fact, that hat is nowhere near as big as his head.

He's got to dry clean everything. There's no laundry that can handle that.

Well, some sweaters you actually can wash in a machine if you have a special bag that you.

Dry them in. Were you washing one during COVID?

No.

Comforter. That's a good mustache. That's the best one you've had so far. I believe that that makes you.

Look the old time. It's the.

Same mustache. I think it's on upside down, though, Billy. Is it?

Mike, this sound of Cam Newton-.

I take a fence to it. You know I'm a big Brock Purdy guy because I watched Brock Purdy, and yes, he was hitting open receivers against the Seattle Seahawks that had loads of separation. Also, those throws were absurd. They were crazy throws that he's not going to get credit for. I watch him, and I'm specifically watching him, at least early on, to see where we can poke holes so we can further elevate the genius that Kyle Shanehan is because you know how much I rate him. But I have very recent quarterbacks that played within that system that aren't doing what he's doing. Brock pretty can make every throw. So if he's making PTTs in these games with immense talent, but that's what his low contract helps provide, I don't think he's just a game manager. If he's doing things that we've seen other quarterbacks that you could label as game managers do, he is making all.

The throws. This is what I would tell you is muddled here, and it's weird to me to have it muddled because you would think in a sport that we're analyzing this much, you're looking for value that the measurements would be accurate. But I will tell you again, nobody in that sport, even at the top of the sport, knows how to measure some of these things and not even the very best at this sport, understand totally how Kyle Shanehan does that. Kyle Shanehan picked Tray Lands because he thought he could make all the throws. Kyle Shanehan himself, genius, has been and must be surprised by the existence of Brock Purdy. But he got to within a throw of winning a Super Bowl with someone who was not Brock Purdy, who started this process by making us confused about, well, how good is Jimmy.

Garapolo actually? Kyle Shane in also has this convenient thing when it comes to Trey Lance, where everyone says, Well, he didn't really want Tray Lance. That was a front-office decision. And no one comes back around and says, Well, he wanted Mac Jones. That's who he wanted.

Takes for this for what you want. Chris Sims has told us, because we've asked him directly, What if he got Mac Jones and he was there instead of Brock Purdy? He said he would be Brock Purdy.

God-blessed football is excellent. Chris Sims, I know a lot of people don't like him, but man, he is strong with his opinions. Good self. And they are... I don't know, but he's super informed.

Man, I don't care. He gives off. I don't give a shit what you think, which rubs people the wrong way. I like Chris.

How good is your information is what I like, and how reported, how researched. You can get takes wrong here. They're, of course, because look, man, none of us know in the last three quarterbacks that the 49ers have told us are good that they believe in. None of us know which of those three actually would be the best in every system.

Hey, you know who would be?

It would be like a Tommy Davito. It would be Davito, that Heisman candidate. That's a.

Tommy Davito. Everybody overlooked him. They could have had him at a steal.

The fictitious Heisman candidate that I represent.

Not terrible fake by you right there.

I don't have confidence.

I wanted to.

Just leave you alone out there. Thank you.

I was like, Charlotte, shut up.

Let him leave me alone.

We got to make this outfit a grid of death punishment.

Yes? Okay, we will do that. But let's combine the outfit with the take, Mike, because to me, this part of it is fascinating. The sport is being revolutionized. Now, defenses have made the changes that make it so that if they prepare for Josh Dobbs, No, get out of here. You're not that good. You're not a game manager. You're not anything. Get out of here.

You have... That's an excellent point, Dan. The NFL and the defenses right now are finding ways to expose these people that would be perceived as game managers. He labeled a lot of names over there that I don't think it's just to say that Dave Prescott is a game manager here.

But the thing that I would tell you is, as everyone tries to make the measurements, and Cam Newton is telling you, I, statuask me, who has the confidence to wear this outfit and don't care what you think because everyone wants to tear it off me. I'm always Superman. I'm always... I'm Superman. He's here telling you none of these people are as good as me because he went, whatever it was, 15 or 1 as the only good player any of us remember on that Carolina team.

Yeah. Even in that clip, hes going to compare. He thinks in his mind, the antithesis of a game manager is what he was. They're not being asked to go make a big play every time down the field, which is what he was asked with that one-Law's.

Carolina team. Legs and arm.

Yeah. Oh, he's the greatest Red Zone weapon I've ever seen.

Break your physical body. But here, let's examine this for a second, because the 49ers thought that the skill set of Trey Lance was Cam Newton's. They picked him that high. They traded a bunch of people for him. They thought that that skill set physically was the things that you want from a quarterback. Then he gets in.

Their system. I mean, easy. Not a lot of physical comps for Cam Newton. No, but- Like Josh Allen is.

The list. The way they traded for him, the place they put the.

Value- Yeah, what they thought the end result would be would be.

That success. We're so genius that if we put... I'm back, look at what we just did with Garapolo. If we do it with somebody who's got the skill set, never mind, we don't know anything. Brock Purdy, nobody wanted him. Mr. Irrelevant. Kyle Shannonan can do it with anybody. I want to ask you, as we reinvent the measurements of the position and the industry itself doesn't know how to do the measurements, do you know how confused all of us are going to be around this conversation? Because none of us actually know who is the game manager and who isn't? None of us actually know. Because Dolphins are going to have to pay or not pay Toa. When it's not perfect for Toa, he doesn't end up looking like my homes. But when it's not perfect for my homes in the last two games, he doesn't end up looking like my homes either. This shit's.

Getting hard. I have an important update. Camden has at least three of these hats in different colors. He has a red one, an orange one, and a brown one with a reindeer on it.

Oh, I got to see the.

Reindeer one. Yeah, it looks like the reindeer is eating lime or something. You might have.

Just noticed. Look at this. Sometime six weeks ago, we just stopped caring what the status of Jimmy Garapolo's injury is. It wasn't supposed to be this bad, was it? We just didn't bring ourselves to care. Don Lebertard. You're getting started on the Breakfast Flan?

Oh, man, I've been singing a song to myself all morning long. Breakfast Flan. Breakfast Flan.

Stugaz. Have you.

Never heard the.

Breakfast Flan song? No, hit me with it. Okay.

I wish I had some Breakfast Flan.

Breakfast.

Flan.

Where can I find a breakfast like that?

This.

Is.

The.

Dan Levator Show with the Stugats.

All right. Let's do it.

Start spreading the news. Nfc and A. Offensive Players of the Week in New York, New York. Devito, he rules. Wilson making plays. The Mormon and Italian in New York, New York. Zach Wilson soaking with a mom, just the tip. Whoa. Tommy DeVitos, the man. Forget about it. These offensive lines protecting all day. They'll actually get some passes off in old New York. If they can make it there, they'll make it anywhere. Gabba gould. New York, New York.

Jeremy made that in 10 minutes, and it sounds like it.

Oh, come on. I mean, that's good suffering.

The.

Gobble-gool line was good. The gobble-gool line.

Was great. You just made it. I like NFC and A personally, but I do have some questions about the middle.

Can I pull back the curtain a little bit. Before we played it, Mike says to Jeremy, I got to screen it first. I was like, Jeremy is not going to do anything objection. What are you talking about? Then he's got a line in there about soaking just the tip.

And moms. What was objectionable is that we aired it.

That should.

Have been the whole thing. Yeah, if that was the whole thing. Hey, Tony.

How is Jeremy rising in the company?

Because he shows initiative. And while you may want to take shots at that song, and I can understand it, I will not defend the merits of.

That song. You screamed it and allowed it. You shouldn't have wasted my time with that. I've got too many things to ramble about.

But it's timely, and we can't ever really play that one again.

They can't all be winners, but if they're timely. Timely, he made it.

Four minutes ago.

Cabagual.

New York, New York.

You have to strike while the iron's hot right now when it comes to Tommy DeVito. There is never going to be another week where Tommy DeVito and Zach Wilson both win AFC and NFC.

Players of the Week. We do not know that, Michael.

I.

Agree there. Yes, we do. Are any of-.

New York. Any more of that? Jeremy is very eager.

Less of that. No, he's too eager.

No.

He's great.

He's here on a floating day. We have people floating around, and he's out there making stuff. That's good.

Well, you mentioned- Looks like he's sitting. What's funny about what he just mentioned, a floating day. You hear what he said? We got so many people we're paying around.

But Jeremy's out there floating.

He's just floating, but there was someone else floating, and I did not think we could have a worse mustache in that seat. But there's Tony.

Oh, hell no. Don't do it like that. What's that? What's that?

But Tony was also floating today, and now he came in. I was not.

Floating, Dan. I came here at Trabajada.

That's what I do. That's the difference.

You see the difference, right?

People are floating.

I'm trabajando. But funny, though, while he was floating and made a song while you're traveling, though, you just grow a mustache.

I've had it, though.

Come around on the song.

Isn't that the song Greg Cody was supposed to sing with perfect timing when we did Grammarcy and instead just came out and danced around and then forgot to hit his cue?

Isn't that it? Yeah, I'm trying to find that.

Oh, my God. All right. No, I want to play that back for the audience. I don't know if Jeremy might.

Know this. While I look for.

That….

Oh, my damn. It's time.

For….

-the.

Game. -look at this. Nailed it.

Dan, you know how this game is played?

I was just belching because I need.

A surgery. Okay. Don't worry. I actually been told that the guttural sounds that are coming from inside that disgust me and Roy when we're sitting in these seats with our headphones on aren't coming across on the podcast. They are on television, though, on DKN. It's time for Against the Spread, and it's brought to you by DraftKings sportsbook, Use code Dan when you sign up on the app for a limited time offer for new customers. Guys, this is the final week of this competition. We hand out a grand prize next week, depending on these results.

I thought we were doing that Monday at.

Our watch party. No, but the thing is, everybody did well last week, and we were all bunched up last week. The grand prize will be handed out next week. It's, guys, massive. We secured something that I think everyone's going to be really happy about as soon as I think about it. Dan, we've all established that you're out on this game. You're just putting up style points at this point. Bringing up the rear. You lead us off on against the spread.

But what if I wanted to do something else? It's not what I wanted to be doing. I wanted to be playing the Greg Cody.

Sound from Grammar City. We'll get to it, provided that you give me enough time. But you're filler-busting right now.

I am because I haven't had enough time because I've been managing our company. I haven't had quite enough time to look up something here. Less managing more.

Against the spread and….

I have.

A boy, Dana. Now you get it. I found the Greg Cody clip, and I can't get to it with you doing this.

With music running over each other?

Can you just….

Okay, I will give you a pic, but I'm telling you on the front end, I have not looked at anything. I don't know anything. I haven't talked to anybody. I don't know how to do this. I will just simply against the spread, I will take whoever it is playing out west tonight in basketball. I'll take. All of them? At home. It's the.

Weirdest way anyone's ever made a bet.

Gosh. You know what? At home. I'm making the ruling. You're done. You're cut off. Wow. You're out of here.

Zero effort put into that. I never.

Want to see you again. I never want to see you again.

I never want to.

See you again. I never want to see you again. I told you before this segment. You did. Look at the spread.

It's been a crazy day, Mike. It's been a crazy day.

I gave you time.

I gave you time. You did. You did. Mike, you started today by yelling at Ameen. Ameen tried to say something back to you. He couldn't say it.

I'm mad. Up to here. All right? Ameen.

Yes.

It's your turn on Against the spread.

Lakers, one and a half point favorites on the road at San Antonio who've lost 17 games in a row. Make it 18 to night, boys and girls.

They've lost that many games with the greatest basketball player ever. Incredible. Amazing how that works now.

Why is that spread so small?

I don't know. The post in-season tournament championship. Letdown, hangover.

Letdown. Yeah. It's a big letdown spot for them. I'm going to go over in Commanders and Rams against the spread. Yeah.

Charlotte? My turn? Yeah. It's why he said Charlotte. You know Dan, when you said like you don't know... Okay. You know when- Back off. I don't know Dan, when you said I don't know anything and I haven't talked to anybody and don't know it. That's how I feel just on a daily basis. I'm going to take the Sixers against the Pistons, another team that can't win a game to save their lives.

Against the spread.

What's the spread?

What's the spread? Plus 12.

Doesn't matter, Jeremy.

It doesn't matter. I came in here because I really wanted to make sure I didn't miss my opportunity at the prize by not participating this week.

All right, we're skipping, Jeremy. But you're not even close. Tony, you're up. Now, this is actually a huge controversy because Billy had to go and do God bless football. He is presently the leader by one, and he is allowing Tony to pick against the spread. I didn't do that, right? Against the spread. By proxy. Huge one here. But, Tony, you can win it all for the rest of us. Or lose it. Thank you, Michael. I've got in what John McCain used to call cock fighting, going to the great sport of USC, led by great people over there. I will be taking another great patriot, Colby Covington, and Leon Edwards to go over. Yes, there is. Thank you.

There are so many great patriots to.

Choose from. The new bit of talking while not into the microphone is not the most helpful. But I will go over four and a half rounds on that fight with Colby Covington and Leon Edwards.

Again, this is brand.

I was brought to you by Avocados from Mexico. A new sponsor, very excited to have it. Avocados from Mexico. Check their paper. Winners.

Bro, the entire world is telling me not to do this. And I know it, brother. They need a committee to decide this division's winner. But I'm going, I'm finna get so dirty right now. I'm taking it all the way to the dirty side. Go on. The Atlanta Falcons will beat the Carolina Panthers by three points. I'm going to take them, dirty birds. Peace up, eight town down, again the spread. I'm sticking with Tommy, Colecuts, Plus Six, Giants, whatever.

They're.

Playing, I forget.

I'm against the spread. I'm against.

The spread. All right, great job, everybody, except for Dan and Jeremy.

Can I have the show back, please? Thank you. Greg Cody, when we did a very uncomfortable the first time we'd ever done anything like this. A live show in front of 3,000 people or 2,000 people, whatever it was. Greg Cody let us off. All he had to do was we got to New York. He had to come out on stage singing a song. That was 500.

Yeah, let's say the gramma's here does not.

Hold 3,000. It kept getting bigger in my mind. It was a wonderful night.

A million people hanging from the rectors.

I've become Trump right in front of your eyes. The biggest crowd. The biggest inauguration ever.

Now we're talking.

Okay.

The crowd was split.

Greg Cody had to run out on stage. We practiced it. We never practiced anything. The longest.

Rehearsal in the history of shows.

But is this the only time we've ever practiced? Let's see, I.

Got skipped.

Is there anything we've ever practiced before? We practiced, and he was supposed to just come out and sing his song, and he ran right past the microphone and just enjoyed the applause of thousands of people. Ladies and gentlemen. Yes. Actually, no, not yes, it's just gentlemen because this is an unrelenting ocean of sausage I'm looking for. Gentlemen, may I present to you Greg Cody.

How.

About that? Wow.

You screwed it up.

You screwed it up because you.

Were-you already screwed it up. Let's do it again. We do this seven times. You screwed it up. Do it again. The song is for you. You're taking the plage. Don't be sick.

He couldn't. He was taking the praise. He got caught up. No, no, no, no. Let's go back and do it again.

That's what we did. What we rehearsed. We did it seven times today. He got it wrong every time. Greg, are you attending a Laker game tonight? Oh, my God. Let's go.

Do it again.

Don't walk from it. Ladies and gentlemen. Just the gentlemen. Rick Cody.

Let's go. I'm going to.

Sing soon. The song is yours.

Start spreading the news.

I can't believe it.

It's.

Unbelievable. The video was amazing, by the way. We didn't get to show that, but him walking out and.

Just- Purple jacket.

-basking, basking in that audience.

We should tell video to staple that at some point to what it is we're doing here so that people can see it. I want to do useless sound. It doesn't appear to be that we have enough time for that anymore. It's been a crowded show. It's been a weird show. Jeremy, I salute you for trying, but try better.

I tried really hard. I was out there writing with the crew of producers that we have sitting at the table. Wait a minute. That had-That soaking line was not mine. Oh, deflecting. Wow, blaming it on me. Wait a minute. I was working.

That had a workforce.

Behind it?

It had me and Thomas.

That was it.

That was it.

Name and names. Don't drag.

Thomas in the picture. You know what? Thomas, I'm sorry. I'll take full responsibility. I know it.

Wasn't good. Holy canoli.

How do you snitch and then take it back?

It's on me, man. You know what? This has not been my best. -you're saying like a canary. -they got us, Thomas. I mean, come on out, Thomas. You know what? Thomas, wherever in the camera, I don't know, man, I'm sorry. Stop hiding behind the tree, Thomas. Come on.

My bad, bro.

Oh, no, big show. It's my fault. I ruined everything. No. This is already a weird show and.

I made it worse. Thomas, come on, Thomas. I love you, Thomas. Thomas, come on in here. Thomas, I love you. Let's see whose fault this was. Sorry, buddy. Let's see. Taylor's been dying for this shine. He'll take it under any circumstances. Thomas, just come on in here so we can all look at you and see who it is that made that shit.

Just garbage. There he is. It was just one line.

There.

It is. Let's go to it.

Thomas.

There's only one.

Line that.

I take credit for.

Everyone's deflecting away from the song.
