God bless Football. Billy Gill.

God Bless Football. Mikey A.
Billy Gill
God Bless Football. Fuentes.
Mike Fuentes
God Bless Football. Stugots.
Mikey A
Thank you, Fuentes. A very exciting day. Billy, Ernie wants to say something. We have not one, but two blind rankings. We have headlines. We have more. Mikely. But first we go to Billy because Billy has something to say.
Stugots
Well, no, I just wanted to say. This episode of God Bless Football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Sad one today. So you gots a little bit of a sad one, but let's, let's be happy here, you know.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Sad because this is our last episode of God Bless Football at Meadowlark Media. So we can talk about that a little bit later if you want. Just, you know, little, little trip down memory lane today, maybe. We'll see how it goes.
Mikey A
Okay. Last episode at Metalark Media, but not the last episode. In fact, we'll be expanding God Bless Football. So if you care about Billy and his family, subscribe to it. If you care about Mikey A and his family, subscribe and rate to it. If you care about Fuentes at all and his family, then leave a review. Okay, you need to do that for us because I'm telling you right now, if you don't, none of our kids are going to eat. All right?
Stugots
Also, if you hate us, good news. This is probably the last time you will see from us unless you go and. And subscribe to us. Because we will virtually disappear from all of these feeds that you see us in right now, except the godless football feed. So follow that and follow our channels and follow our socials. And again, if you have thoughts on Fuentes, you can support him by leaving comments. Apparently, yes.
Mikey A
And we will have news. We'll have news for you regarding God Bless Football coming up in the next. In the next week or so. So, Billy, we have one, but not two blind rankings. This is very exciting. Mikey A has one.
Stugots
No. So then we do have two.
Mikey A
Yes, we have two. I should just say we have two. You're right.
Stugots
Got it.
Mikey A
We have two blind rankings. Fuentes has one. Mikey A has. We have headlines, we have more. Mike Lee. And I'm wondering, where does Billy Gill on our final episode at Metal Arc Media, where does he want to go first?
Stugots
Well, first I have. We have headlines I want to go to. Here's a headline because that seems like a good fun way to start the show. But I have a bit of sad news to guts that I want to tell you and the audience. And I don't know if this is something that will cause them to tune out immediately or not, but I thought with this being our last episode at the Lark, that maybe we invite back, you know, like a friend or some friends. So I thought, why don't I reach out to Kay Funk? He usually wrangles all of our friends. And Kay Funk told me he was shocked when I gave him the news that this was the last episode at the Lark. And then he told me what time tomorrow's my son's high school graduation, but what time are you thinking? And I said, kay Funk, that's a lot more important than this. So why didn't you just tend to that?
Mikey A
Right.
Stugots
And then he later offered, well, I'll be available at 3 or 4 in the afternoon if you want. And I said, we'll check back on that. I don't, I don't know about that. We'll. We'll see. So we may, we may later have a Zoom call with Cave Funk, but I don't know if it'll be recorded. Maybe it will be. Maybe we'll just toss it in the episode. Who knows what we're going to be doing at 3:00. Maybe we'll be feeling a little silly.
Mikey A
Do you think, if given the choice kids graduation or record the final episode on the lark of God Bless Football, if you get. If they were conflicting times, do you think Kay Funk would have chosen to record with us? I mean, what do you think?
Stugots
I think given the opportunity, if we told him just do a quick check in, that he would have done it from the graduation, but I, yeah, I want to try to avoid that situation.
Mikey A
So Mikey, you're agreeing with him.
Billy Gill
There's no question. He's calling while they're announcing names and he's saying, hold on a second.
Stugots
Yeah.
Billy Gill
And then going back to it's a.
Stugots
Thing where like he. He's on the phone and then he realizes his kid has walked across the stage and he wasn't recording because he was on the phone with us recording this. And then it's a whole thing.
Billy Gill
If you really want K. Funk to be on the show, all you have to do is tell him Mojo will be on the show. And I guarantee you Kay Funk misses everything to make sure he's not left out when Mojo's on.
Stugots
That's probably.
Mikey A
That's a fair point. So of all the past guests, it wasn't Chris Sims you reached out to. It wasn't Mike Golick that you reached out to. It was. It was, it was K. Funk.
Stugots
Well, I mean, Sims was on a couple weeks ago as part of our Metal Arc retirement tour, so I thought that hitting him back up this soon was a little close. Golic. I'm not sure how that one works, so I left that one alone. And yeah, so I thought, let me reach out to Kay Funk and then just see like, where we can go from there. And when he was out, I was like, ah, maybe we just do a regular show and disappear off into the sunset without guests and bells and whistles. And we don't have, you know, we made like a. A 35 minute tribute of some of our greatest moments on God Bless Football that we were gonna air. But then once, you know, K. Funk said that he couldn't do it, we kind of just scrapped the plan, so.
Mikey A
Got it.
Stugots
You'll just get instead of like a best of, you know, Sarah McLaughlin, I will remember you. Any of that stuff, like instead of the road. Yeah. No. Vitamin C, graduation song. None of that's happening today. Closing time, we're leaving all at the.
Billy Gill
Time of your life.
Stugots
Yeah. None of that's gonna happen today. Today we're just gonna do. Here's a headline.
Mikey A
Okay. All right, good. There is a chance the show still remains on the DraftKings network. I'm just. This has nothing to do with DraftKings. We love them. They've been great partners.
Stugots
Right.
Mikey A
If you're upset about this, get mad at the Lark. In particular, Levitard and David Sampson. Anyway, ready for. Here's the headline.
Stugots
Okay, so here's a headline. Joe Flacco wants to lead Brown's QB by example, not be mentor.
Mikey A
Huh?
Billy Gill
Huh?
Mikey A
That wants to be a mentor.
Stugots
Sounds like Joe Flacco wants to play.
Mikey A
When Joe Flacco comes to your team, he's coming for your job. Like, that's.
Stugots
Yeah, the thing is, is that that's exactly the situation with Joe Flacco right now. And I wonder almost if Joe Flacco wants to start the season not as a starter like, Joe Flacco wants to be the backup so he can hunt his prey from behind. Joe Flacco is not one to stab you in the front, friends. Joe Flacco, when he's there in the QB room, he's there to stab you from behind. Not in the back, but from behind, Right?
Mikey A
Yes. How does he do that? Like, he watches the film of the starting quarterback and tells the QB coach, I would make that throw.
Stugots
He just. I mean, in many of these instances, Joe kind of just needs to sit back and let them take care of themselves.
Billy Gill
You know, Joe Flacco is also that fan favorite. Like, as soon as your starter starts to waver a little bit, as soon as he starts to struggle, all of a sudden you start hearing those whispers in the stance. You know, Joe Flacco wouldn't do that.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
You know who's sitting right there smoking a cigarette on the bench, not moving.
Mikey A
Yeah. Not moving.
Billy Gill
Or Joe Flacco could come in and win us some games.
Stugots
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Yeah.
Mikey A
It'd be very comforting if Joe Flacco were my backup quarter. He was our backup quarterback, Mikey. We never got to him.
Stugots
Okay, well, yeah, if he's. If he's your backup quarterback for your team, it's comforting. If you're the starting quarterback and he's your backup. Not at all. Because Joe picks his spots.
Mikey A
Right. Well, I think that's what Mikey is saying. Like, you know, with a starting job comes expectations. The backup job is always the most popular guy in the stadium. He's. He. He connotes hope. You know, he's. He's.
Billy Gill
Especially that group. Especially with that group in Cleveland. Yeah.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Joe Flacco doesn't want the starting job out of camp. He wants the backup role.
Mikey A
Billy, here's a headline. Hey, Caleb Williams swears he wants to be in Chicago.
Billy Gill
Sure he does.
Stugots
That was a weird story. Caleb Williams. I feel like if the story's gonna come out that you were gonna make a big mess of things, you should have just made a big mess of things. Right. Because now you didn't make a mess of things, and now it's still messy. The city of Chicago is reacting to you as though you did make a mess of things. So you. You should have just made a mess of things also. And this. I mean this as respectfully as possible. And you guys know that I'm a big part of, you know, Bears nation. And also, you know, Cardinals fly Eagle fly. Oh, the Arizona Cardinals. I forgot to tell you guys. I. I'm gonna look. I'm gonna look for it in a break. The Arizona Cardinals sent me a care package this week just because of what, a big bird? Yeah. Because I'm still big member of Bird gang. They sent me a care package this week.
Mikey A
They're trying to butter you up before the season. That's what's happening.
Stugots
Yeah. Well, I did, you know, I did kind of pick them last week in a situation where we had to choose which division would be worse, more likely. And I didn't choose their division, so.
Mikey A
Right.
Stugots
Anyways, where were we? So, Caleb Williams.
Billy Gill
Yeah.
Stugots
I think you need to be better to cause these kinds of problems for yourself. Respectfully, if you're going to be demanding not to go to a city, which he didn't ultimately do, but if we're going to be dabbling with the idea of demanding to not go to a city, gotta be a little bit better friend.
Mikey A
You're saying make a mess of it like Eli did when he came out in the draft.
Stugots
Right. In retrospect. And he may be a Hall of Famer. In retrospect, was Eli good enough to make the mess of things that he made of things.
Mikey A
On the front end? Probably not. Right? Probably. He was not good enough, Mike. He was. He was the number one or number two.
Billy Gill
No, he was the number one pick.
Mikey A
Right.
Billy Gill
But he was hyped enough to be. To make a mess.
Mikey A
Right.
Billy Gill
I don't know. But he had the last name.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
He had the stats. Yeah.
Mikey A
And he had. And he had RG his dad doing a lot of the work and a lot of the talking for him at the time.
Stugots
So, I mean, more so when you look back at his career, was it worth the mess that he made? Was he indeed good enough to have made the mess that he made?
Mikey A
The mess paid off, Billy. Yeah. I mean, he won two Super Bowls as the New York Giants quarterback, and both of them came against Tom Brady.
Stugots
All right, just asking.
Mikey A
Just worked out for Eli.
Stugots
Just asking here.
Mikey A
All right, That's a good question. Mikey. A. Do you have a headline for us?
Billy Gill
Yeah. Hey, here's a headline. Stefan Diggs was not present at Wednesday's voluntary organized team activity one day after a video of the wide receiver surfaced on social media in which he was on a boat with an unidentified pink substance around three women.
Stugots
I. I have an admission. I had to ask around. What does this mean? Because I don't. I know. You guys seem good. Yeah, I know.
Billy Gill
Be careful who you ask.
Stugots
I know, you guys see me and you say, billy Gill. That's a guy that does a lot of drugs. But I may surprise you. I had to ask what. What this meant. I was like, what. What does this mean?
Mikey A
It's what I say to myself when I see you every day.
Stugots
Every day over there.
Mikey A
Drug addiction. Billy Pill.
Billy Gill
Billy Pill.
Stugots
All right.
Mikey A
The point he just gave me.
Stugots
I mean, anywho, I didn't know what it was. I. I had to ask around. I was like, so what does that mean? What does pink substance mean?
Billy Gill
What. What. What could be pink?
Stugots
I mean, I don't know.
Mikey A
What could be pink?
Billy Gill
I don't know.
Mikey A
So Diggs was not at practice after this video surface because Mike Rabel is the coach. Patriot Way, all that.
Stugots
Well, no. I mean, It's. It's voluntary. OTAs, like, a lot of people weren't at these things.
Mikey A
So he volunteered to be on a boat with the pink.
Stugots
I mean, if I had the option to volunteer to be on a boat or in Foxborough, I think I'd be on a boat. Problem is, he just got there, and I guess technically hasn't gotten there yet because he's not there, but he's new to the. He's new to the program there, so he's not really ingratiating himself very well, I guess.
Mikey A
I mean, I just spent a weekend in Foxborough. I would go on a boat, so I would do anything other than spend the day in Foxborough. If. If I'm being completely honest. It's so weird to have that stadium so far from Boston. It's crazy.
Stugots
What. What level one to ten of a nonsense guy do you think Mike vrabel is.
Mikey A
Level 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. Like, he takes no nonsense.
Stugots
No.
Billy Gill
Who would be a 10?
Stugots
Who would be a tense? I'm glad that you asked that question. Just clarifying there is the amount of nonsense that you're willing to take and the amount of nonsense that is within you. I was asking more or less, how much nonsense do you think exists inside of Mike Vrabel that is waiting to come out?
Mikey A
I will tell you that I caddy for Golick at the Lake Tahoe Golf tournament. Ray Romano was part of his threesome. The other one was Mike Vrabel. Me, Golick and Ray Romano were having a blast. Laughing it up, yucking it up. Rabel, not so much, really. Very serious golfer.
Stugots
Yeah, it's. It's interesting, that dynamic that you just laid out, because in most golf situations, I think foursomes are the regular, and they are there Was four. You included. As Golix caddy, you were just, I guess, not allowed to golf. They decided to have it be a threesome. Even though there were four of you.
Mikey A
So at Tahoe, just the way they have it laid out, they do they. So for the Pro Am, which I. Which I participate in every year and actually play golf, it's foursomes. For the actual tournament itself, they go threesomes. Three celebrities per. Per group, I guess.
Stugots
And. And Rabes was a no nonsense guy.
Mikey A
Raves just took. He was taking the golf very, very seriously. He didn't want to be bothered. He didn't want, you know, he didn't want me asking questions. I was trying to mess around. I was doing a thing. I was going. I was goitz caddy. And like he didn't. He didn't want anything of it. I would say that Rabel is. He's pretty high on the no BS meter.
Stugots
You know what, what do you think Vrabel's response would be if you went and swapped out his ball with one of those exploding balls that makes like all the noise?
Mikey A
I would have blamed it on Ray.
Stugots
Okay.
Mikey A
He would not have been happy. Billy, if that's what you're.
Stugots
Can I give you a quick headline? Here's a headline.
Mikey A
Huh?
Stugots
The College Football hall of Fame will lower its win percentage from 60% to 59.5%. Making Mike Leach eligible to join the College Football hall of Fame. Wow.
Billy Gill
You know who is most excited about that?
Stugots
I do know. I'm very excited about that. And I am very interested in looking into win percentages right now to see if he's eligible or not.
Mikey A
Can we find out all the guys who are right around 50?
Billy Gill
Miles. Les Miles, who lost his bid to the hall when wins were vacated, dropping him under 606. 60%.
Stugots
I was going to say.
Billy Gill
He's probably right there.
Stugots
I was going to say, when we come back, find out if Les Miles is now eligible for the College Football hall of Fame or not and can drop his lawsuit against lsu. But because it's our last episode here on the lark, I'm not going to leave you hanging. Les Miles career win percentage in college. Well, hold on a second. This doesn't make any sense because it says he has a.665 win percentage, which means he was already eligible.
Mikey A
Yeah, but take some wins away. They vacated some wins, didn't they?
Stugots
When we come back.
Billy Gill
Not enough.
Stugots
I'm gonna figure out what these statistics mean because I'm very confused right now.
Mikey A
All right, well, that's A nice tease, but I think it's the last show and Fuentes has a headline, so I want to get to Mike Fuentes. Do you have a headline for us?
Mike Fuentes
Yes. Will Levis says he's trying to be the same dude despite QB battles, but the same dude is what got him there in the first place.
Stugots
Place. Yeah. I would not be.
Billy Gill
That's your problem. Don't do that.
Stugots
Yeah, yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Try a different dude. Try a different dude.
Mikey A
Wait, Will Levis is still in Tennessee, right?
Mike Fuentes
Correct.
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
Yeah. No, no. Will Levis went from the most. Just back to our original conversation about Joe Flacco. Okay, we'll have his. Went from a guy that Tennessee Titan fans despise to a guy who's going to be the most popular guy in the building. If Cam Ward's playing bad, what is he doing?
Mike Fuentes
Being the same dude.
Mikey A
Yeah. Embrace being the backup.
Stugots
All right. It seems as though. It seems as though his. His win percentage, man, it's all over the place. But it seems as though it might be 59.7. So he's eligible.
Mikey A
Rounding up. Oh, they dropped it to 59 and a half. He's in.
Stugots
He's eligible.
Mikey A
That's so ridiculous. All right, coming up next, blind rankings.
Stugots
Medium, medium rare, medium well. We all like our meat different. There's something about the perfect grilling day. Sun's out, friends show up, and the first sip of Miller Light just hits different. I've been stuck in the cooler with it for years, and for good reason. It's brewed for taste only. 96 calories and 3.2 grams of carbs. This year, Miller Lite turns 50. That's five decades of cookouts, laughs, and ice cold moments that never miss. It's the original light beer and still my go to. Great beer, great times. Grill on Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories. Go to millerlight.com gbf to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Cheers to 50 years of Miller time. Celebrate responsively. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs for 12 ounces. God bless. Football is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. Stugats. Guess what time it is.
Mikey A
What time is it, Billy?
Stugots
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite segments, particularly in the off season. And it is. And we have two today, but one is a little more self involved than the other one. This is our blind rankings presented by spiritoff, the world's number one, vodka. Please drink responsibly. And also we do game days. Please drink responsibly. Fuentes, do you have blind rankings for us this week?
Mike Fuentes
We do. I thought I had exhausted all the cool positions, but you guys said, let's do coaches. So I said, hey, it's the last episode. Let's do.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Are these head coaches?
Mike Fuentes
These are head coaches. Head coaches only. Current head coaches only.
Stugots
Can I ask an indelicate question? Yeah. Can I ask an indelicate question?
Mike Fuentes
He's gonna ask anyway, so go ahead.
Stugots
These are current head coaches, right?
Mike Fuentes
Correct.
Stugots
That's not the indelicate question. The indelicate questions to God. So maybe we should have done this off air. But if we go somewhere, should we try to lure Mike Fuentes away and watch the empire collapse from within? Or do we just kind of say, forget it, we could find someone else and maybe we bring back Mikey C.
Mikey A
Oh, Mikey C. No, no, no, no.
Billy Gill
No, no, no, no.
Mikey A
What if we existed a world where both Mike Fuentes and Mikey C could be on the show?
Stugots
Well, then he'd be Mikey F. Also, right?
Mikey A
Mikey F. Mikey C. Mikey A. I'm gonna start calling you Mikey.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, that'd be like the whole Alphabet.
Billy Gill
Listen, I want Mike EC with us. I do not want to have to rely on him the way we rely on Fuentes to actually do things. Okay, See? With us. But I don't want him have to press buttons.
Stugots
Maybe we could have Mike Fuentes do stuff with us, but, like, just secretly and we'll just call him Mikey F. And then no one will know.
Billy Gill
Nobody will know.
Stugots
Yeah, no one will know.
Billy Gill
I'll just.
Mike Fuentes
I'll just wear sunny glasses at every taving.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
I'll never figure out, okay.
Mikey A
Would anyone practice?
Mike Fuentes
They'll never know.
Stugots
It's just one of those things, man.
Mikey A
I mean, especially with sunglasses.
Stugots
There's a lot of people that sound a. Like, you know, you never know. Anyway, Mikey F, you're a rare form today, man.
Mikey A
I love you.
Mike Fuentes
Our first coach in this week's edition of blind rankings is Kevin o' Connell, Minnesota Vikings.
Mikey A
Ooh, man, that's a good coach right there.
Billy Gill
I will go. I will go first with this one.
Mikey A
I mean, that guy almost got the 1 seed in the NFC with Sam Darnold.
Billy Gill
Kevin O' Connell, number two.
Stugots
Wow.
Mikey A
Wow. He's a good coach, Billy.
Billy Gill
He's.
Mikey A
I don't know what other names are there, coach, Right?
Billy Gill
He's a fantastic coach. He thinks about what he has done with the quarterbacks that he's had, right?
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
As he wanted it.
Mikey A
He's a great coach.
Stugots
Yep.
Mikey A
Number three.
Mike Fuentes
Three for Stu.
Mikey A
For Kevin o' Goddle.
Stugots
Billy, I'm gonna put him at four.
Mikey A
All right.
Stugots
I was gonna put him at seven, but you guys talked me out of it.
Mikey A
Really? There's no way he doesn't have six better coaches on his list than Kevin o' Conn. Possible.
Billy Gill
That's why he's going to give us a couple of first year guys.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. Blind rankings. That's why they're blind. You can't see them. Next coach. Number two off this list, Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills.
Mikey A
Oh, wow. He's on the hot seat, I'll tell you that much.
Stugots
Seven.
Billy Gill
Seven. Get it done.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put him at eight.
Stugots
Wow. I was just itching to give away a seven.
Mike Fuentes
No. No respect for Sean McDermott.
Stugots
Every year. If he didn't have Josh Allen, he would have been fired five years ago.
Mikey A
Fuentes, what do you want me to respect? He hasn't made a Super bowl with a quarterback that most coaches would make a Super bowl with. And he fires his coordinators every year.
Mike Fuentes
He's gotten further than Kevin o' Connell. And you guys are just praising Kevin o' Connell.
Mikey A
Yeah, but Kevin o' Connell.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, from the guys that only care about how many Super Bowls a guy wins. Okay.
Stugots
Anyway, you know who. You know who's the happiest that Sean McDermott is there is Josh Allen. Of course, once he's gone, then it's like Josh.
Mikey A
Wants him to stay forever.
Billy Gill
I mean, let me ask you, Fuentes, if Sean McDermott were to get fired, how many coaches would want that job?
Mike Fuentes
All of them. Yeah. Well, yeah, because Kevin o' Connell were.
Billy Gill
To get fired, how many people are lining up for that Vikings job?
Mike Fuentes
You got to see how good J.J. mcCarthy is.
Mikey A
Let's do it this way. If Sean McDermott got fired, the first call the Bills would make would be to Kevin o' Connell.
Billy Gill
Darn right.
Mike Fuentes
Third coach on this list, Washington Commanders, Dan Quinn.
Mikey A
Dan Quinn.
Stugots
Six.
Mikey A
I'll put him seven. I'll go ahead.
Billy Gill
I thought you put.
Mikey A
I put mcdermott at eight. Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
All right, Mikey, what was yours? I didn't hear.
Billy Gill
I'll put. I'll put Dan Quinn at 8. I don't like it. I should have put him at 6, but I already said it.
Mike Fuentes
Next up, Tennessee Titans, Brian Callahan.
Mikey A
Oh, God, Brian. Bless you.
Stugots
Nine.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Yeah. Nine.
Mikey A
All right. I'll put.
Billy Gill
I. I see what's happening to me.
Mikey A
So do I. I see.
Billy Gill
I see what's happening to me. I'm in trouble.
Mikey A
I can't put him at six, right?
Billy Gill
No.
Mike Fuentes
So, Steve, you said nine.
Stugots
I need to see more from Brian Callahan.
Mikey A
Yeah, yeah.
Stugots
Like, yeah, anything. I need to see anything for Brian Callahan.
Mikey A
Right?
Billy Gill
He's had one year and he earned the first overall pick.
Stugots
Y. I need to see more from Brian Callahan, respectfully, to all the Callahans out there.
Mikey A
So here's the deal. He's. He's at number nine on my list now, but if Cam Ward's good and we play this game again next year and Fuentes is still part of the show. Is Mikey F. Wearing a mustache?
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
Then perhaps you hop up to three, Right. If Cam Ward's good, Callahan will be top three.
Billy Gill
Exactly.
Mike Fuentes
That's why it's an off season game. Next up, Demico Ryan's Houston Texans.
Mikey A
I like him.
Billy Gill
I'll put him at five.
Stugots
Yeah, yeah.
Mikey A
I'll go in five, huh? I'm putting d' Amico at five. He feels like a five to me.
Stugots
Can I point out, because I've done this on a number of occasions, so if you're listening, you don't care, but visually, Mike Fuentes owns an assortment of Bass Pro shop hats in different colors, and he sent me a picture. He has, like, five different color Bass Pro shop hats. He's now wearing a knockoff Bass Pro Shop hat that seems to have a pigeon on it that says New York City. For some reason, I really don't understand you loving this look, but every hat that you have is exactly the same.
Mike Fuentes
Wait till you see the one I got coming for the Panthers. You're gonna love it.
Mikey A
Are you some sort of, like, big outdoorsman? Like, I don't.
Mike Fuentes
Not even close. I like hiking, but that's about it. But not really.
Stugots
He also. He also told me on an episode of Mystery Crate that he loves mountain vacations. And I was like, you do not look like anyone that goes hiking in mountains. And then he kind of clarified and was like, no, no, not like hiking in mountains. He's. He was saying, like, our trip to Phoenix when we had the watch party out there, that that was a mountain vacation. Even though he'd spent no time in the mountains.
Mikey A
That was the desert.
Stugots
Yeah. He just likes. He just likes that there's mountains around.
Mike Fuentes
I like to have.
Mikey A
We live in Florida, so it's all flat.
Mike Fuentes
Thank you. See, I like scenic views. I like it to be dry. I live in a swamp. And then I go to. I can go to the beach any day I want. I can't go, like, climb a mountain. Whenever I want. I live in the flattest area of the country, so can I just.
Stugots
You know, that's a thing that everybody says, and we all say, like, I can go to the beach whenever I want. I don't think I've been to the beach here in a decade. 20, 19, easily.
Mike Fuentes
That's true.
Mikey A
I feel like I'm gonna melt if I go there.
Mike Fuentes
I don't.
Stugots
I don't been. I have not been to Miami beach since we left the Clevelander in any form or fashion. And even when we were going to work at the beach every day, I didn't actually go to the beach in Miami for years.
Mikey A
Right. Unless Dan sent us to the ocean.
Mike Fuentes
It's true I don't go as much as I should for someone who lives here, but I have been going more often lately, and it's always an option. That's why I don't go, because it's too accessible. So it's like, you know, that's why.
Stugots
You love mountain vacation, correct?
Mike Fuentes
Because it's.
Stugots
But you don't like the mountains. You just like the idea of having the mountains accessible to you while.
Mike Fuentes
Jim Harbaugh, Los Angeles Charger.
Mikey A
The Grand Canyon was a mountain range. Like.
Mike Fuentes
No, but they have mountains there. The point is, it's different. Jim Harbaugh, Los Angeles Chargers.
Stugots
Now I'm stuck in a world where I think I need to put him at three.
Mikey A
Why?
Stugots
Because I have three, eight, and ten left, and I don't think he's eight.
Mikey A
I take Kevin o' Connell over Jim Harbaugh.
Stugots
So I'm gonna put.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put him at four.
Billy Gill
I'm gonna put him at three.
Mikey A
Yeah, I'm putting Harbaugh at four.
Stugots
He also needs to show me something.
Mikey A
You're right. And so does that quarterback, by the way.
Billy Gill
It's year two. Year two. Here's where you're gonna get the best of Jim Harbaugh.
Mikey A
Well, we'll see.
Stugots
On name recognition, I think. I think I would still rank Jim higher than John, which is crazy.
Mikey A
You're probably right. Yeah, it's clearly John.
Stugots
I. You know, I'm in a world where he's gonna say John in the next four names, and I'm gonna have to rank John 8. Anyway. Go on with your spots left. Your fake random things. Where'd you put.
Mike Fuentes
Where'd you put Jim?
Billy Gill
I have four spots left.
Mikey A
No, no, I'm saying I have two spots left. I have number one and number two still left. So I'm feeling pretty good. I put Jim Harbaugh 4.
Mike Fuentes
Where did Billy put him?
Stugots
Right here at 3.
Mike Fuentes
3. Okay.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Ben Johnson, Chicago Bears.
Stugots
Oh, man. It's a sexy name, but he also needs to show me something.
Mikey A
It's really not a sexy name. It's. It's. It's a common name. Ben Johnson. But I understand what you're saying. Y10 Putting it no experience as a head coach.
Billy Gill
I think he is going to be a bad head coach. He has.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, okay, wait a minute. So you were praising Kevin o' Connell for what he did with Sam Darnold, but you give Ben Johnson nothing for making Jared Goff.
Mikey A
He's got a better face, but he's.
Stugots
Not the head coach.
Billy Gill
He wasn't.
Mike Fuentes
That doesn't matter. Oh, yeah.
Stugots
Because Dan Campbell.
Mike Fuentes
Dan Campbell knows quarterbacks.
Mikey A
Yeah, you're right.
Mike Fuentes
You got it. You figured it out.
Billy Gill
I thought we were ranking head coaches, not offensive.
Stugots
Of course, I never seen Alex Trebek get this frustrated.
Mikey A
Contestants give a name, and he ranks.
Stugots
Even though, if we're gonna be honest, respectfully, to Trebek seem like a dick. Right? Like, we could just. Well, if we're gonna. If we're gonna be honest. Yeah. I mean, he's been gone for five years now. Come on. He was. He. I mean, did he not come off that way? Did you guys not feel that? Okay, fine. I'm sorry. So I'm sorry to the Alex Trebek estate, please.
Mikey A
All his fans, maybe.
Stugots
I mean, if I was Alex Trebek. If I was Alex Trebek, with all of my millions of dollars, I would probably buy, like, a ranch or, like, just a lot of, like, acreage. And I would call the ranch Tribeca. Stan.
Mike Fuentes
So Ben Johnson, Billy.
Mikey A
You've been working on that for a while, or.
Stugots
No, just second.
Billy Gill
That was a thing.
Mikey A
I buy a house in the mountains in Arizona.
Stugots
I'd have my own flag and everything of Trebekistan. It would always be flying. It'd always be flying. Right? Because Alex Trebek was always right about everything.
Mikey A
It would get.
Billy Gill
It would get revealed.
Mikey A
Do you think the head coach is going to be on here? Do you think McDaniel's going to be on here? Do you think the jets head coach. I'm trying to figure out what to do with this coach. He's never coached before.
Billy Gill
Don't try. Don't try.
Stugots
No. Yeah.
Billy Gill
Don't try and figure out what.
Stugots
Also, don't give fuend as any ideas, because we know he's up to shenanigans, and he just hasn't pulled them out yet. So if you give him more ideas, he'll change it. And if you notice, we can't see him, so we don't know if he's writing on anything or not.
Mikey A
Rebecca, stand.
Mike Fuentes
Where do they rank Ben Johnson in Tribeca Stand. Where do they rank them?
Mikey A
I'm putting Ben Johnson at 10.
Stugots
I have him at 8. Also not a sexy name.
Mikey A
He's going to force me to put.
Stugots
The jets coach at, like, not a sexy name. And I looked him up. Respectfully, not a sexy person either. Sorry. Ben Johnson.
Mikey A
That's what Mikey was saying. Kevin o' Connell a lot. He looks like a head coach. He's got a much better looking face. There's no question about it.
Billy Gill
Yeah, that's not what I was saying, but okay.
Mikey A
Right. Your mouth.
Mike Fuentes
Next quarterback. You just hinted at him. Dolphins very own. Sorry. Go ahead, coach. Miami Dolphins very own. Mike McDaniel.
Mikey A
Knew it.
Stugots
10.
Mikey A
Knew it.
Billy Gill
I would have put him at 8 had I switched Dan Quinn. Since I can't, I will put him at six.
Stugots
Something.
Mikey A
I'm okay. I'm being forced to put him ahead of Dan quinn and Sean McDermott, but I'm okay with that. That like. Yeah, like it might be. Daniel had Josh Allen. Forget it. Yeah, probably not. Anyway, I have no choice.
Billy Gill
I'm in trouble here.
Mikey A
I'm in trouble here.
Stugots
I am in deep, deep. I think. I think we're all in the same. We're all in the same.
Mikey A
I only have one and two left. What's one and four you have left, Mike? One in four you have. Billy, what do you have left?
Stugots
One and two?
Mikey A
Yeah, I have one and two.
Stugots
And they're going to be crab coaches.
Billy Gill
Here comes Brian Schottenheimer and Aaron Glenn.
Mikey A
Yep. No doubt. All right, go ahead for it.
Stugots
This is.
Mike Fuentes
Next off the list is Kansas City Chiefs. Andy Reid.
Stugots
Yes.
Billy Gill
Number one.
Stugots
Nice.
Billy Gill
That's fine.
Mikey A
Is there a better coach than Andy Reid that he could trot out there?
Stugots
I don't know, but I need to get that one out of the way.
Mikey A
I'm relieved because if it's Nick Sirianni, I want him at number one. I love that guy.
Stugots
What?
Billy Gill
What about.
Mikey A
That's great.
Stugots
You're insane.
Billy Gill
Tomlin. John Harbaugh.
Mikey A
I'm workshopping a take about Jalen Hurts being better than Patrick Mahomes. I'm just. I'm just tease, tease for a future show.
Billy Gill
Keep working out. Keep workshopping it.
Mikey A
Where'd you put him, Billy? One or two?
Stugots
One. One for Andy. Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Billy and Mikey both at one.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put him at two.
Stugots
Okay.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, you're gonna be Upset.
Billy Gill
And my number four stug is number one.
Stugots
I think he just mumbled, oh, you're gonna be upset, which I don't think is good.
Mike Fuentes
Last coach, Seattle Seahawks, Mike McDonald.
Mikey A
Oh, yeah.
Stugots
Yeah. He's a number two if I've ever seen one. Yeah, that's my number two. I'm feeling good about that.
Mike Fuentes
Mike.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
You have four left.
Mikey A
I have him as the best.
Billy Gill
I got him at four. I got him at four.
Mikey A
I'm not read.
Stugots
Where'd you put Andy at four?
Mikey A
At two. Why?
Stugots
Who did you think was coming?
Mikey A
He was gonna try.
Mike Fuentes
He wanted Sirianni.
Billy Gill
You held out for Nick Sirianni or John Horbaugh?
Stugots
That's crazy. Who was 11 on your list this week? Fuentes.
Mike Fuentes
The next name up was Todd Bowles.
Stugots
Oh, wow.
Mike Fuentes
He would have been followed by Jonathan Gannon, then Mike Tomlin, Kellon Moore, and then Dave Canales.
Mikey A
I gotta tell you, this Bulls guy lives in such a great world where no one cares about. No one cares about Tampa. No one cares about him. He is expressionless and he'll never get fired.
Stugots
Yeah, I like him.
Mike Fuentes
So do I. Yeah, he does always have the same exact face on the sideline, no matter the situation. He's like.
Mikey A
You don't know if he's winning or losing.
Mike Fuentes
Correct. You can't get a read on him. He's like wallpaper, you know, he's just like.
Stugots
All right, well, that was our blind rankings of coaches.
Mikey A
All right, we have a another blind ranking coming up, plus more Mikely. So I'm excited, and I think Billy and Mikey are gonna embarrass me somehow. That's coming up next.

Stugots
And we're back.
Mikey A
Yes, we are, Billy.
Stugots
Are we? What are we laughing at?
Mikey A
Just you. You're in rare form today, man.
Stugots
I'm here, man.
Mikey A
I'm just doing, you know what it is. Football's getting close, that's what it is.
Stugots
Yeah. OTAs, you know.
Billy Gill
Yeah.
Stugots
You know me. I love going camping.
Billy Gill
In the mountains with Fuentes.
Mikey A
Yeah, football.
Stugots
No, like football camps. I love to go to football camps. Big camping guy, you Want to do.
Mikey A
A little training camp tour this year? What do you think?
Stugots
Where do you want to go?
Mikey A
I don't know. I was thinking maybe like, Northeast.
Stugots
On the next episode of God Bless Football, which you have to subscribe to find out. We'll plan our otas trip for 2025.
Mikey A
I like the idea of, like, jets, giants, Buffalo, Philadelphia, that whole area. I think that's a good area for us.
Stugots
Can I tell you, since this is our last episode, an idea that I had for this show that never came to fruition. So I wanted to. When we were going to Las Vegas, there was a discussion for Las Vegas to have a road trip and we were gonna stop and do, like, hits at, like, different places. Do you remember that conversation or no?
Mikey A
Yes.
Stugots
Okay.
Mikey A
We were driving from South Florida to Vegas, correct?
Stugots
We were, yeah. But we were, like, going up to, like, North Carolina. We were taking, like, a really strange route. And it wasn't a true road trip because it was going to be like flights and it was going to be a situation where we were flying people in and out and making certain stops. Like, in one stop would have been like, me and you, and then like, Lucy would have been at one or Jess or whatever. And we were like, just going to be like flying people all around the country, making stops at like, all of these different places, right? And I came up with the idea that I thought was a great idea and I thought it was a very cost effective idea because those things end up being, like, very pricey. Especially when you have multiple flights, multiple people coming in and out, and you have to rent different crews in different cities, whatever. I went on ebay and I looked up buying a used rv and I wanted to buy a used rv like on behalf of whoever the sponsor was. Like, use their money to buy a used rv. Use that RV to drive the entire time. And then when we got to Las Vegas at the live show, give away the rv. So we didn't have to figure out what to do with this old crappy used rv, right?
Mikey A
Just give it away to someone.
Stugots
Just give it away to a fan. Just have a raffle and give them the keys and be like, this is your problem now. We used our sponsor money for this beat up rv. We had all these stops. Here you go. Congratulations. The 1985 RV, you guys figure it out.
Mikey A
Weren't we trying to use the Madden.
Billy Gill
Cruiser Chemical Toilet either?
Stugots
We also were trying to use the. What?
Mikey A
We were trying to use the Madden Cruiser. I mean, the Madden Bus or something, right?
Stugots
So. So we, we did talk to the Madden son about using the Madden bus for the super bowl. And that didn't come to fruition. And then this last year in New Orleans, there was another RV road trip situation that they came up with that we didn't do. And in that situation I was trying to do, it was. New Orleans was close enough. What I was pitching was, let's do a segment of God Bless Football. For the Monday episode, we'll do a road trip. And for the Monday episode, each segment will be in a different state. So, like, first segment, we'd be in Florida. Then we would be in Alabama, and then like Mississippi and then Louisiana, however it plays out, right? And I want to do it in four different states, each segment in a different state. And for that one, I found an even more cost effective solution, I thought, which was, well, hey, David Sampson's always telling us about this RV that he got in this deal with the Marlins that he screwed over, you know, John Henry, and he got his Marlins rv. Why don't we just ask him if we can use the rv? And then he canceled our show.
Mikey A
Oh, wow.
Billy Gill
That took a.
Stugots
No, that took a turn. That didn't happen. No, that I. I believe they reached out and they said they didn't know where it was or something. I don't know what happened with that situation.
Mikey A
Anyway, Samson misplaced an rv.
Stugots
I mean, I don't know, but it didn't end up working out. So anyway, the RV tour still lives on. Maybe one day we'll go on an RV tour.
Mikey A
Yes. Okay.
Stugots
Blind rankings are. Mike. More likely.
Mikey A
Why don't we take an RV to the. I think we have another blind ranking for guest here. Guest on the show at the lark on the DraftKings network. We're gonna get to that in just a second. Let's take an RV3 to. To training camp. Why not? You love camp.
Stugots
RV3.
Mikey A
RV3. You like that? RV3. We'll call it the RV3. I don't know why, but we will. Football. That's what blind rankings. What are we doing here, Mikey? So Fuentes has to play along here. This is great. I like this. Right? And the best part is he does.
Billy Gill
Not know most of these guests.
Stugots
Oh, good. All right.
Mikey A
Okay, so explain to the audience what it is we're doing. We're blind ranking the guests in the history of this show of.
Billy Gill
Of Meadowlark media. God bless football. These are all guests that have appeared. I'll say. Less than three times.
Mikey A
Less than three. Okay.
Billy Gill
Less than three times.
Stugots
Wow.
Billy Gill
Probably I might get. I might be A little off.
Stugots
No regulars. Who did you leave? Just out of curiosity, did you leave.
Billy Gill
Anyone off who missed the cut? Dwight Freeney missed the cut.
Stugots
Oh. Javon Free in the history.
Mikey A
He's been good to us, man.
Stugots
Well, also the sense of a lot of frustration destroyed. Free Go. Joy will be told one day.
Mikey A
Gojo missed the gutter. All stories, Dwight Pretty almost got you fired. Stop it. I almost got me.
Stugots
Okay.
Billy Gill
All right. You want the first one?
Mikey A
Yes.
Billy Gill
Nitro.
Mikey A
Oh, wow. This is gonna be.
Billy Gill
This is gonna.
Mikey A
Nitro was on more than three times. I mean, I'm gonna go with three.
Stugots
Three.
Mikey A
One time felt like a thousand times.
Stugots
But, yeah, it goes kind of along. Yeah.
Mikey A
Where'd you put them?
Stugots
I'm gonna go with three.
Mikey A
What does. Where are you putting them?
Mike Fuentes
I'm gonna put them down at 8. Because I just remember the time he asked, why don't I draft two kickers for fantasy football?
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Stugots
What does RB mean? Next to Saquon?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
Yeah. But that was. He was coming on because he needed help.
Stugots
Yeah, we were trying.
Mike Fuentes
It is part of the charm, but I'm. I'm putting him low because I'm assuming that other greater guests may be coming. So.
Stugots
He said he was gonna send Stu. Got steroids in the mail.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
I put him at 5. 5 for Nitra.
Billy Gill
All right, next name on the list. Shirley Schefter.
Mikey A
Oh, wow.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, that's like a heavy hitter there. Yeah.
Mikey A
Geez.
Stugots
It's an all timer, man. What are we supposed to. How do we not.
Mike Fuentes
And also, I'm thinking just wait till.
Mikey A
You see who else.
Mike Fuentes
Well, that's what I'm saying. Is dad gonna be on the list?
Mikey A
Well, is Dad's foot gonna be on the list?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, Dad's foot. You know, I don't know.
Stugots
We can't have two chef tours. You don't have one chef.
Billy Gill
Listen, I put it into Fuentes's randomizer.
Stugots
You did? You did.
Mikey A
Just to remind the audience, Billy met Adam Schefter's mom on a. On a cruise in an elevator.
Billy Gill
Listen to that episode. It was fantastic.
Mikey A
I'm going to put her at number two.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, me too. I'm going to put.
Stugots
We also promise her we're going to get her a phone sponsorship.
Mikey A
I know. And I take her to launch in Boynton beach somewhere.
Stugots
Yeah, we gotta. We gotta follow up on that. I will, I will. We got nothing but time now. We're retired.
Mikey A
Yes, we'll take her in the RV3 with us. How about that?
Stugots
Oh, I like that. I'm gonna put shirley Schefter at 4. No, you know, we should do a Shirley Schefter. We should take Shirley Schefter up with us to Mel Kuiper's boat.
Mikey A
Oh, yes, yes.
Billy Gill
She's loved that.
Mikey A
We have so many plants. I mean, we're gonna get to all of them now.
Stugots
Well, that's, that's, that's really, in retrospect, at our run here, that I think that that could summarize. We have so many plans, and that is the, Is the. On our tombstone is. It was really our execution. That kind of the plans were there.
Billy Gill
We're ideas, guys.
Mikey A
Yeah, that's really what it is. Yes.
Billy Gill
We're ideas guys. All right. Speaking of family, of regulars.
Stugots
Oh, no.
Billy Gill
Matt Sims.
Stugots
Oh, Matt Sims. He was, he was great.
Mikey A
But I know he's gonna put him at one.
Stugots
I'm gonna put him at nine.
Mikey A
Okay. I'm gonna put Matt Sims at. I'll put him at nine, too. That feels right for Matt Sims. Right?
Stugots
He's, he's, that's not a shot at Matt Sims at all. He's good.
Mike Fuentes
No, he was only on one time, though. Nine. Nine is good for Mad Sims.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
All right.
Billy Gill
All right. Up next, fake Aaron Rogers. Jake Owens.
Mikey A
Oh. Oh, wow. That was a good one. So I, I thought I was, I was on the driving range at Lake Tahoe thinking I was speaking to Aaron Rodgers. I was speaking to a country music singer, Jake Owen, who thanked him for being our quarterback, who really just played along beautifully. He made the whole week for us out at Lake Tahoe. I can't wait to go back to that place. I love it. I mean, it is. Those are mountains, by the way. Fuentes. I can't wait to go back there. I, I, I thought it was Aaron Rodgers. It wasn't. It was Jake Owen. They all made fun of me for the remainder of the weekend. It became a thing at Tahoe. Jake Owen was on the show. I'm gonna put him at number one. Man, like, what, 10? It was a big Billy. It closed a loop for us that week. Like, it was so important to get him on, and I'm probably putting them too high. I'm over.
Mike Fuentes
Your joke about missing who he was is better than him. So, like, It's. He's a 10.
Stugots
Yeah, I put him at 10, too, also because I was on vacation and I missed the interview, so. All right, I'm gonna have no frame of reference.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put him.
Billy Gill
Next name on the list, Brandon Seiler.
Mikey A
Oh, Scott. He should be number one. He was great.
Stugots
You do not remember him.
Billy Gill
You want to put everybody.
Mikey A
What do you mean? Syler was on. He made picks with K. Funk. He had a book to promote. I think he went 0 and 5. I don't know.
Stugots
I'm gonna put Syler at 7.
Mikey A
All right, listen, here's what I do know, Billy. I don't want to piss off Brandon Seiler.
Stugots
That is true. That is true.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put him at seven.
Mike Fuentes
I'll piss him off. He's going to seven.
Stugots
I last event I had, I had. I had Share Bear calling me on a Sunday because he was in Miami with Syler at the Mondrian, and they were calling me to see if I wanted to come to the pool. And I was like, it's Sunday. I have two children. I cannot go to the pool. Hey, buddy, just want to see if you want to come to the pool.
Mikey A
Hey, Billy, what'd you do yesterday? I'll go out of the pool with K. Brandon Seiler. No.
Stugots
Share Bear.
Mikey A
Oh, sure, K. Funk would have showed up, so.
Stugots
Oh, I'm sure he was there. He's wondering why he wasn't invited.
Mikey A
No. No protection on whatsoever. K. Funk.
Billy Gill
Just up next, everybody's favorite heating and air conditioning person.
Stugots
Oh, Lacy.
Mikey A
She was great.
Stugots
Lacey's a two. Yeah.
Mikey A
Believe I put Shirley Shefter at two.
Stugots
Yeah. Lacy's a two.
Mikey A
What a show.
Stugots
I mean, that was a classic. It's too bad she moved to Canada and got married, huh?
Mikey A
Subscribe, rate and review. Yes.
Billy Gill
You went from cooling to heating.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Number three for me.
Mikey A
She was a bartender who owned an air conditioning company.
Stugots
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Yep.
Mikey A
I'm putting her at three.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
Puts a smile on my face.
Billy Gill
Up next, the Old Spice guy.
Stugots
Oh, Old Spice is last.
Mikey A
This is the last Super Bowl. Just a few months ago, we had him twice.
Stugots
Yeah. Double appearance.
Mikey A
He was so good, Billy.
Stugots
Yeah, I have him at six.
Mikey A
Really?
Stugots
Yeah, he was good. But these names have all been good. Except Matt Sims. These names have all been good so far.
Billy Gill
There's still a few more.
Mikey A
Don't you want it, like. Don't you want one of the Sims is to like you, I mean.
Billy Gill
No.
Stugots
Nah.
Mikey A
Yeah, it's better that way.
Mike Fuentes
I put the Old Spice guy at one because he made my job easy that week. Just putting that guy in both episodes.
Stugots
Oh, hey, Tony's behind you.
Billy Gill
Yeah. How about that? Up next.
Mikey A
Well, hold on. I didn't write. What was the last name? I put the Old Spice guy at one.
Stugots
You put three people one already. You put Jake going at One.
Mikey A
At one. I took him out. I put him at four.
Stugots
Okay. Old Spice guys at one. I mean, come on.
Mikey A
All right, I'll put him at 6.
Stugots
I don't want to break the 4th. I don't want to Break the 4th wall here. But now that we're just telling truths, today, Old Spice Guy was wandering around Radio Row with a cane, and we couldn't figure out if it was a bit or not. And then the second day that we saw him, we realized, oh, no, he just uses a cane.
Mikey A
Yes.
Stugots
Yeah. Which is not exactly how you picture the Old Spice Guy, but he's a man with a cane.
Mikey A
He is. But then he opens up that mouth and it's like, oh, yeah.
Stugots
Magical.
Mikey A
It's unbelievable. All right, so I have three slots left, right? I have 1, 8 and 10. I'm doomed.
Billy Gill
All right, up next, Cozy Coleman.
Mikey A
Forgot about it. I'll put him at 10.
Mike Fuentes
Six. That's all I got left.
Billy Gill
What do you have left, Stu?
Mikey A
Oh, how's it feel, Fuentes?
Billy Gill
What do you got left, Stu?
Mikey A
I have. After Cozy.
Billy Gill
Yes.
Mikey A
I have eight and one.
Stugots
I'm sad. I have someone I want to be on this list that I don't think will be.
Billy Gill
Up next, Gordy Gronk's Uber driver.
Stugots
Oh, one.
Mikey A
Wow. Wow.
Stugots
One.
Mikey A
Did he go five zero?
Stugots
Yeah. Yeah.
Mikey A
Every time.
Stugots
And we couldn't find him again.
Billy Gill
We couldn't find him again.
Stugots
40 Zuber drivers. Number one guest of all time. We had five.
Billy Gill
Got one name left.
Stugots
Yeah. I wanted a name that I don't think is going to be on here.
Mikey A
I'm putting Gordy's uber driver at 1 2.
Billy Gill
All right, all right, Last one. Spags.
Mikey A
Oh, no.
Billy Gill
Damn you. It was a randomizer.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
We had Bags in studio. It was fantastic. Blossoming friendship.
Stugots
I mean, man, we could go on a cruise with Spags also.
Mikey A
Bags would love to go on a cruise.
Stugots
Hell, yeah.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Yeah. I have Spags at five. That's not who I was expecting. I had two names that I was hoping would be on the list that were not on the list. First name I was hoping would be on the list, Captain Lee. Didn't make the cut.
Billy Gill
Yeah, I wasn't on that episode.
Mikey A
Top three for me. Really? He was on twice, I think.
Stugots
Yeah, we had him on twice. One time on God Bless Football, one time on Stupidity, and the other one that we have on regularly that I was hoping would be on this list was Roslyn the Witch.
Mikey A
Oh, the witch. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Billy Gill
There's a reason she's not on the list.
Stugots
Well, okay. So now that we're sharing stories with stugats in the audience, Stugot, I have a confession that I need to share with you.
Mikey A
This is the part of the show where you guys are going to embarrass me, right?
Stugots
No, we're not going to embarrass you.
Billy Gill
Embarrass you.
Stugots
It's something that you need to know.
Billy Gill
Maybe we do this on the other side.
Stugots
We found out about a year ago when we come back, a story that we found out about Rosalind the witch. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. I don't know if you knew this, but anyone can get the same Premium Wireless for $15 a month plan that I've been enjoying. It's not just for celebrities. So do like I did and have one of your assistant's assistants switch you to Mint Mobile today. I'm told it's super easy to do@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for 3 month plan equivalent to $15 per month Required intro rate first 3 months only, then full price plan options fees extra. See full terms@mintmobile.com Mikey A. Mike Fuentes, AUDIENCE this is it. This is our last segment here on on the lark on DraftKings Network for for this run of God Bless Football. Before we get sappy, I want to just tell you the quick story here that I wanted to tell you about Rosalind the Witch. So Rosalind the witch is someone that you knew back all the way to your weekend observations show that you would do at ESPN Radio and you had Roslyn come on. And Roslyn, I think first made an appearance when the jets had it was the draft lottery or they had the number one pick or something. Right. So you had a bunch of different people come on.
Billy Gill
Priestess Roslyn way back when, I think it was the Knicks.
Stugots
The Knicks, yeah. Sorry, I said that. The Knicks. So Priestess Roslyn would then come on and be on around Halloween or whenever we needed, you know, different things.
Mikey A
She was a Halloween staple for us.
Stugots
Yeah, yeah. But we need to or if we needed, you know, Priestess Roslyn to ever talk to people from beyond whatever, we'd have Priestess Roslyn come on or cast spells on people or whatever. Right. Then there may have been a situation where Mikey C. Dated her, but that was unclear whether or not there was a relationship there. So about a year ago, we reached out to Priestess Rosalind to have Priestess Rosalind come on, I believe because we were trying to do a seance and wanted to reach out to Don Shula.
Mikey A
Right? Cody.
Stugots
Yes, With Greg. Cody. And Mikey was our point of contact on that situation. And he reached out to priestess Roslyn and then share devastating news with me based on the call that he had with Priestess Roslyn. Wow, Mikey. Should I tell him or do you want to tell him?
Billy Gill
I don't know if I can say it. I think you have to say it.
Stugots
So it turns out Stugots Priestess Rosalind was not a priestess. Priestess Rosalind was the PR person that booked the real priestess, and the real priestess backed out of the initial interview 10 minutes before. So Priestess Rosalyn, as we knew her, was the PR person for an actual witch, who, instead of canceling, pretended to be a witch, and then for multiple years, kept coming on the show pretending to be a witch for us because she was so embarrassed by the fact that she pretended to be a witch the first time. So everything she told us about covens and all of that stuff was all made up. She was a PR person who eventually felt guilty and came clean. And that will do it for metal arcs. God bless football.
Mikey A
She wasn't a witch.
Stugots
She faked it. She faked it one time and couldn't tell us. So she kept faking it for years.
Billy Gill
That is not perfect for this show. I don't know what is.
Stugots
Our witch was never a witch. The real witch bailed, and the PR person pretended to be a witch for years and was just making stuff up the entire time. Told her she was going to Salem for the weekend. All of that made up. Says a niece that had the gift. All of it made up.
Mikey A
Up. She's probably saying, like, I can't believe this is my life. I'm immediate relations person for an actual witch.
Stugots
Yeah. Who's flaky. And now I have to pretend to be a witch.
Mikey A
I gotta tell it. We should hire her. I mean, the effort she made.
Stugots
I believe that that is your actual first reaction, and I believe that you think that is the best play, best move. Oh, my God.
Mikey A
Well, thank you for telling me that.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
What an odd way to end this.
Stugots
It really was. It really. And now this isn't even on tv. This is just us talking. We could put this on audio or whatever. Yeah. So that was that. Priestess Roslyn apparently was a fake priestess.
Mikey A
You got to give her credit, though, right? For sinking into the character out of guilt.
Stugots
Yeah, she. She did a good job. She.
Mikey A
What happened? So the real witch just flaked out, didn't want to do it.
Stugots
Yep. Apparently bailed last minute.
Billy Gill
Dan Stanzik saw her hit when she did a hit for, I think, like local. Local New York news, talking about the Knicks and booked her thinking that he was booking the priestess. Right. Since then, she became part of Weekend Observations and then stupidity and even God bless football.
Mikey A
Yeah. I'm devastated.
Billy Gill
It is. It is. I. I've never felt so lied to in my life.
Mikey A
Yeah. What anymore?
Stugots
At the same time, it kind of made me like her more. Of course.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
I mean, it was bad news because we lost what we thought was a real witch, but he gained one of us, a friend.
Billy Gill
I wonder if a real. A real witch was listening and was like, this girl's totally faking it.
Stugots
Yeah, probably.
Mikey A
These guys think they're speaking to a witch.
Stugots
This isn't a witch. She doesn't know what she's talking about.
Billy Gill
Roslyn isn't even a real name.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
What?
Stugots
Well, hold on. No, it goes deeper than that. Because if you remember, she also created like, a whole Twitter account and everything for Priestess Roslyn. She went and created an entire, like, social media identity about bringing a priestess that was all just a cover for some reason. And I don't even. I. I wonder why she felt the need to go that deep on it. Because no one would have needed to follow her.
Mikey A
Right.
Stugots
Social media from one appearance.
Mikey A
Right. If she just said, hey, the witch can't do it, stanza would have been like, okay.
Stugots
Or she just did it and that was it. And then the next time you called, like, oh, no, sorry, wrong number, whatever. But no, she was committed to this.
Mikey A
Yeah. This is our. This is our kind of PR personally, I'm telling you. Listen, Billy and I are going to get into business, hopefully together, and we're going to do some shows together moving forward. And I'm telling you, Roslyn, or the person I thought was Rosalind will be running said business. Okay. Because that's the kind of person you need, Billy. Someone who's willing to do anything. Anything include acting like. Including acting like a witch when she's nuts. I mean, imagine what you do for us.
Stugots
It was odd. It was odd. All right, any final thoughts here as we wrap up? Or anything or.
Mikey A
I don't know. You got it. More likely. Or anything.
Stugots
Save your thoughts for another day.
Mikey A
Oh, yeah.
Stugots
You want to do it more likely? No. Okay.
Mikey A
We'll say, I'll have plenty of thoughts, Billy, and I'll have plenty of days. Yeah, I'll have plenty of thoughts and plenty of days to share. To share my new thoughts.
Stugots
So I'm kind of just petering out Here at the end. I can. Can we just, like. I want to thank the fans, by the way, for. For listening to us for four years. We started this show, Stugats and I, on a Friday, because our company did not have a football show, and we thought that we should. So we just started doing it because.
Mikey A
You would take that lane, right?
Stugots
And we. We started doing a show and we called it God Bless Football. And once it started, they couldn't say no, so we just kept doing it. And then over the years, it grew, and we won podcast awards because of fan voting. Entirely because of fan voting. So thank you guys for kind of listening over the years, for voting for us, getting us these awards that. We got that again, we're fan voting. Our numbers were really, really good over the years, and you guys listening and downloading, showing up to the live events, all of that was. It was really cool and it was really fun. And it's something we were talking about before the show that when we sat down that first week four years ago, we never would have thought we'd still be doing that same show four years later. So just thank you guys for listening. Thanks to DraftKings for, you know, supporting us over the years. Jay and Mia and Ashley and Freeze and Feldman and just, you know, hundreds of people over there, dozens of people that supported us over the years in this run. And now, you know, this portion is done and we're not. So, you know, we're figuring out what the next step is, where we will be. Once we have that information, we'll pass it along to you. But we really want to thank you guys for all of the years of listening to us and tweeting at us, interacting with us, voting for us, showing up at the events, all of that stuff. It's. It's been really fun. And we've made, you know, friends along the way, not just with fans, but, like, we still are texting with Mojo and Mike Rawles and those people during random weekends of, you know, whatever. And Gordy and Kay Funk were never going to lose, so. So it's been a fun ride. We met. We met Adam Schefter's mom because of this show, so.
Mikey A
Yes, well, you met her on a cruise, so.
Stugots
I mean, I met her on a cruise, but, you know, we. We spoke to her and got to know her, and Jeff, I think, was his dad's name on. On the show. So. Yes. Yeah, it's a weird show and we've had a lot of fun doing it, and the hope is that, you know, this continues Just elsewhere because it's. That's business. So it is.
Mikey A
We have fun doing it, though. It's a celebration of football. That's really. That's what it is. It's a celebration of. Of the sport that. That all of us have fallen in love with. Just a couple more people to thank. Chris Sims, Mike Golick, who have been great to us over the four years, joined us just about every single week. Incredible Mojo K. Funk, all those guys. Chris Gronkowski as well, for a couple of years. Lucy.
