I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food?
Chris Cote
Smirnoff.
Dan Le Batard
That's your favorite game day drink. What's your favorite game day food?
Chris Cote
Smirnoff.
Dan Le Batard
All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.
Greg Cody
Smirnoff.
Dan Le Batard
Smirnoff belongs in that mix. Because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff. Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing it since 1864, which is. I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award winning, they make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So, yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should, too. Why, Chris?

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
Chris Cote
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Mike Ryan
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially.
Chris Cote
For one of our great partners, sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Mike Ryan
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Chris Cote
Cuervo.
Mike Ryan
So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

Cuervo. There's a reason Chevy trucks are known for their dependability. Because they show up no matter the weather, push forward no matter the terrain, and deliver. That's why Chevrolet has earned more dependability awards for trucks than any other brand in 2025. According to J.D. power, because in every Chevy truck, like every Chevy driver, dependability comes standard.
Greg Cody
Visit Chevy.com to learn more.
Chris Cote
Chevrolet received the highest total number of awards among all the trucks in the JD powered 2025 U.S. vehicle DEP study awards based on 2022 models. Newer models may be shown. Visit jdpower.com awards for more details. Chevrolet Together let's drive this is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast. So of course I have all of my football analysis wrong because I am feeding into the drama of the Eagles and the Chiefs When Stafford's got 24 touchdowns and zero interceptions over the last six weeks of football and the Rams have sort of perfected what Daniel Jones isn't exactly going to travel with on the road. Everyone knows that unless I'm making it like zero degrees in the cold, that Stafford can bring that offense and complete and nine completions to Puka wherever it is that that traveling circus goes.
Greg Cody
Wasn't Stafford's career almost over in training camp when they thought he couldn't play because he has a bad back?
Chris Cote
I thought he was going to the Giants didn't. Diana Rossini said that that was a real thing. That that. So we talk a lot about the drama and the teams that have been there. It ignores some things about that team, does it not? Given that they traded for Stafford over golf because McVeigh was like, yeah, I'll go with this quarterback this quarter. That quarterback is going to make me lose to Brady 13 to 3 in a Super bowl that Belichick won for Brady.
Greg Cody
And by the way, they lost one of the best defensive players in league history two years ago.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah, their defense is great.
Chris Cote
They are great at all the things. They're a great organization. Look, McVeigh had one of the rarest of coaches broadcasting opportunities before Tom Brady got the 375 mil. With the streaming service money and the broadcasting explosion. Sean McVeigh had the chance to be the voice for football the way John Madden was by just leaving football at the top of football because he could have had any broadcasting job at the very height of the food chain.
Greg Cody
I think he could still do that.
Chris Cote
Would have skipped every line but chose to keep coaching because he prefers to do that and it's he's gamed the system like when Stafford's your quarterback. Like they have figured out a perfection of motion and chemistry. Their offense, whether it's Cooper cup like you don't need to have someone who's actually as good as Smith and Jigba. Right. Like you only need to have either Cooper cup or Puka or Devonte Adams or they'll do it with Higby or they'll do it to Baker Mayfield. They'll do it at the Eagles. They'll do it everywhere. Like they'll. Stafford will be the only thing that actually dethrones Brady through his runs through, through his playoff runs. He goes through Breeze Mahomes and, and Rogers in one postseason. But it was. It was Stafford throwing deep to Cooper cup that knocked Brady out of another playoff, correct?
Jonathan Zaslow
Yep.
Chris Cote
Like that. Stafford has quietly had such an amazing back end of his career to become a Hall of Famer.
Greg Cody
I mean, think about the first part of his career. Like, I don't know if. I don't know if he was considered a loser, but he was. He was considered as a guy who's never going to win. And I understand a lot of that is because it was Detroit, you know, but man, like. And those Detroit teams with Calvin Johnson, how dysfunctional were they that this is what we're getting out of Matthew Stafford now in the latter.
Chris Cote
But you know the answer to this question, which is this is one of the amazing things about Dan Campbell's ascendance there. The back story, and I say this all the time, of the Lions, two of their best players, they made them quit. Calvin Johnson and Perry. Sanders ended their careers early and Stafford was tired of giving his body in on that surface every. Because he never misses games. Like he's insanely tough somehow still playing games bad back or not. Like that guy became the highest paid quarterback in the league in Detroit. And he was the only good thing about the team. He's the only reason anyone thought they'd win a playoff game. But he was viewed as a career loser because of it. Because. Because he merely got to the organization to a better place than it ever been with Barry Sanders and with Calvin Johnson. Like he's the best thing that ever happened to Detroit. Am I wrong?
Jonathan Zaslow
I mean, that's arguable.
Chris Cote
But what's hammer Barry Sanders in terms of winning, playoff winning, relevance, can we beat Romo? It was like the only other time we've seen Detroit be relevant is when Stafford made them so correct.
Greg Cody
I mean, I think Barry Sanders ultimately is going to be revered more than Stafford in Detroit.
Jonathan Zaslow
I mean, it depends how far you're going to go back. They did win NFL championships in the league.
Chris Cote
Not going back that far.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay. With Bobby Lane the quarterback, you want.
Chris Cote
To give him the back in my day music, he can tell us all that he wants about the 1950s Detroit Lions race history.
Jonathan Zaslow
That's all I'm saying. Have they ever won a Super Bowl?
Chris Cote
No.
Greg Cody
Oh, there it is. That's what matters.
Jonathan Zaslow
Have they won NFL championships?
Chris Cote
Yeah, they are a laughing stock. American franchise used to be for all time.
Mike Ryan
You can't just erase history. That's not good either. You have to highlight it. Look, a lot of people were in a lot of bad situations. You can explain it. Context matters. Like being head to head on a football field. That used to.
Chris Cote
Again with this. Not again with this. What are you laughing at?
Jonathan Zaslow
Looks like a raccoon.
Chris Cote
Craig. He is wearing a lot of makeup. Greg, can you. Mike accuses me of contrivance. What was your real feeling yesterday? Ostracized to a corner of your home to watch Lionel Messi shamed by your family into you will not be as important as the four games.
Jonathan Zaslow
I was honored to be watching Lionel Messi on that stage perform like he did. It was. It's an honor to watch that guy play. It really is. I mean, and I don't probably think that way about any other athlete in any other sport.
Chris Cote
LeBron, I would say LeBron. You don't say. You don't think it's an honor to get to watch LeBron play for 23.
Jonathan Zaslow
Years at his age? Yeah, yeah. At his age, Steph curry less than LeBron. But yes, Steph, you don't.
Chris Cote
I mean, that's 17 years, amazingly enough.
Greg Cody
Like you haven't enjoyed these last three plus years of Messi more than the four years you watch LeBron, right?
Jonathan Zaslow
I would say it's comparable though.
Greg Cody
Really?
Jonathan Zaslow
And I would say it's comparable. And the point is, in terms, in terms of American sports fans, there's still such a gulf there where we don't appreciate what we have. We meaning American sports fans, we don't appreciate what we have in Messi. Whereas we do with somebody like Tom Brady or LeBron James because they're big national news. Lionel Messi is at his best on a big stage yesterday and everybody's watching Red Zone instead.
Chris Cote
How big a mistake Mike was The Apple TV thing, when they are saying, and we've been talking about this for a while because it's been been a bit appalling the amount of greed that has to go into paying for all these things which ultimately comes out of the pocket of the customer, making Inter Miami in Miami a really elite franchise, even though there are plenty of people who don't have money, who won't be gouged, who also love Lionel Messi, would like to be Watching the games on Apple TV but don't want to pay for Apple TV plus extra plus and have to get soccer without their regular Apple. So one of the things Apple has done, which we know how much money Apple makes, they are one of of the global corporate giants that run everything in the economy and they can do whatever they want. How bad a mistake was it to have Lionel Messi telling this part of his story this gracefully and not have the attendant support around it so that it's accessible to people who can't get over the paywall to see the story told, to have the broadcasters frame the relevance of the event? How much did they price out? How big a mistake was it to price out some audience by not allowing any of this to be televised?
Mike Ryan
They don't even put out the numbers. They don't want you to see how bad this is. Can you imagine numbers so bad not releasing them? That should scare you and your family.
Chris Cote
This is all I'm gonna get from you today. You're gonna. You're going to continue to be furious.
Mike Ryan
You have to become undeniable. Because if you allow this to happen, you perpetuate a narrative, you're not doing anything about it, then you're stuck with it and so is your family. That's wrong. Have you seen these polls? While the narrative is around the committee, the pollsters are getting off easy.
Chris Cote
Let's do funny things from the Sports weekend, please.
Mike Ryan
I've seen some of these pollsters. Did you know one of them is Israel Gutierrez?
Jonathan Zaslow
Whoa.
Chris Cote
Oh, don't do this.
Mike Ryan
We should get a hold.
Chris Cote
Don't do that. Don't.
Mike Ryan
We should offer him more money.
Chris Cote
Don't do this.
Mike Ryan
I'm suggesting we pay Israel. We continue to pay Israel.
Chris Cote
And when Funniest thing from.
Mike Ryan
He even ranks us ahead of Notre.
Chris Cote
Dame, like you should.
Mike Ryan
We should give more money to Israel.
Chris Cote
Funniest thing from the sport, Dan.
Jeremy
First, we've obtained a photo. We've obtained the photo. The photo that we've wanted all morning of the Barbie Room.
Chris Cote
Oh, thank you. So you're going someplace else with the show?
Jeremy
No, no, we can go to Funniest Thing. But I just. I knew that as soon as we got this photo, you'd want to know.
Chris Cote
You did know this. And there it is. So let's take a look at where it is. Greg Cody was watching Messi in the exercise room. There is a photo of Greg Cody in the corner there, not surprisingly, a photo of a dog. Some family photos.
Jeremy
Looks just like jumping Charlie that day.
Chris Cote
It is. It is. I Think we can say, do I have this wrong? Please tell me I have this wrong. This is an old person's view of a room a granddaughter should have.
Jeremy
My childhood bedroom right here appears to.
Mike Ryan
Be a dog dressed as a general.
Jonathan Zaslow
It is.
Mike Ryan
This is concerning, and it's wrong. And woke up and gay.
Chris Cote
Zaslow. Tony is not the best judgment, and I'm having a difficulty wrangling the show today. And Tony has suggested that he wants to do his top five earlier than he usually does. The thing that's been happening with his top fives is he does them Tuesday, Wednesday, last week, Thursday. Everything's been chewed up. Everything. Everything is no good because it's already been said. He's got no new thoughts on a Thursday, but now he's decided to do this from a Metro mover. He is using public transportation in Miami. I don't trust the WI fi. He does. So let's see what we've got. Tony, he told me you're ready. You just got. We've got the video. Now you're on public transportation. Let's do it. Tony's top five.
Tony
Dana, we are live here from the Metro. No delay at all going down right now.
Jonathan Zaslow
We.
Tony
We are literally moving right now. And no, I was actually in delay because. Because I didn't want the cop to come and stop me. So I think we're trying to hide from the cop real quick. So I only have five.
Mike Ryan
Okay.
Tony
No olive. We're going to go straight to it.
Greg Cody
Why would a cop bother you?
Chris Cote
Why does it sound like you feel like you're doing something illegal, like you're being watched? You think you have to have a license to do this?
Mike Ryan
He's just going to ask him for documentation. Oh, he's coming.
Tony
You see him? Right there.
Mike Ryan
You saw him?
Michelle
You saw him?
Tony
He's right there.
Jeremy
Number five.
Tony
No, my issue is that sometimes. Number five. Yo, J.J. mcCarthy, sucks.
Chris Cote
Okay, you guys. You guys thought he put one good quarter together. And you guys think a quarterback's just coming to the league. Has been hidden by Jim Harbaugh, Sucker. National champion. What?
Jonathan Zaslow
He's a sucker.
Jeremy
Let me remind the people really quick that Tony's top five is presented by Smirnoff, the official vodka sponsor of the National Football League. Smirnoff. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Vodka, 40% alcohol by volume.
Chris Cote
Tony, I love how you're doing this, where you're looking around. You seem like you're suspicious. You're giving off suspicion. Yes.
Michelle
What?
Chris Cote
So somebody's Going to stop you. No, you've got to do this. You're probably doing something illegal. Number four.
Tony
Number four. Nice story, but the bucks are cooked.
Chris Cote
I. So that's it. So Carolina is going to win the division. So I said they're cooked right now. Five weeks ago. So Caroline is going to win the division.
Jeremy
I've never seen Tony scared before.
Chris Cote
Yeah, he looks a little scared. Well, because he's out in the wild. Look, there are ICE agents around. He's.
Tony
Guys, we're moving fast, by the way.
Mike Ryan
We're moving fast.
Tony
I don't know if you guys can see that. It's more of like, I need to make sure that I'm. I got a good base because this thing could stop and I can fly like six feet back that way.
Chris Cote
Yes, this thing is no joke. Yes, well, you should be holding on. Why. Why don't you just hold on to a rail? Because you're too. You're too much of a man. Number three.
Tony
No, because I. I need my hands. Number three. Number three is Gibbs. Is Jameer Gibbs better than Barry Sanders? I'll let you guys think about and.
Chris Cote
Chew that for a second. Okay, so what did he have, like 260 scrimmage yards?
Tony
Yeah, yeah, he's really good. It feels like he might be better than Barry.
Chris Cote
Yeah.
Tony
Okay, I gotta make sure. I gotta pretend like I'm not doing it. Guys, hold on.
Chris Cote
That is so disrespectful what you just said.
Jeremy
Look, anyone else rooting for him to get kicked off?
Chris Cote
No, I'm. Well, I'm. What I'm rooting for is somebody to punish him for that. Take like that is terrible to say Jameer Gibbs is Barry Sanders. Like, this shows you don't know anything about anything.
Jonathan Zaslow
Lobos tried to acquire Gibbs in a trade, number two.
Chris Cote
People must be so confused.
Tony
They are. They are very confused. Number two, we need a new wing of the Pro Football hall of Fame just named Gunslingers, in which Jameis Winston his first ballot. Gunslinger hall of Fame wing.
Jonathan Zaslow
I like it. Gun wingers.
Chris Cote
Look, his open field stiff arm. How great was that play?
Greg Cody
And a spin.
Chris Cote
The Giant screwing around, throwing the. Jameis wins. Winston in the open field covered.
Greg Cody
He got a 5050 ball and then he stiff armed and spun into the end zone.
Chris Cote
It's.
Greg Cody
It might be the best play of the season. It was so cool. And then he did the dice celebration.
Chris Cote
It was the greatest moment of yesterday. It was number one, Tony.
Tony
He really quick on James Winston. He's never going to make it anywhere near any sort of hall of fame. But like, what he does on a day in and day out, week in and week out, game in and game out basis, should be celebrated.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay?
Tony
We need to have some sort of celebration of James.
Chris Cote
Not day in and day. No, just Sundays.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay?
Chris Cote
Just Sunday.
Tony
You're not there in the locker room.
Chris Cote
Maybe on a. You're not there in the locker room.
Tony
You don't know what he's doing.
Dan Le Batard
All right, well, that guy's the one.
Tony
He's doing in that locker room. Oh, shut up, George. Number one.
Chris Cote
You shut up. You take that back.
Jonathan Zaslow
Pack it up.
Mike Ryan
No, you shut up.
Chris Cote
No, you shut up.
Tony
Take that back. But I take that part. I take that part back. I take the shut up back.
Jeremy
I'm sorry.
Dan Le Batard
No, you shut up.
Tony
They're stopping the train. Guys, hold on. I gotta make sure that. Hold on. Oh, the guy's right there. Here comes police officers right behind me. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Yeah, he's a police guy. Oh, they opened the doors again.
Greg Cody
Shut up for a second.
Chris Cote
Number one. Tony, you want to turn around?
Tony
Show him. Show the police officer.
Chris Cote
Michelle, you want to whisper?
Tony
Yeah. Number one. Number one.
Chris Cote
Hold on. Number one in trouble.
Tony
Pack it up. I've seen all there is to see. Give Matthew Stafford the m. The MVP and close up shop. We're done. He's the MVP of the season. We're done. No more MVP talk. Stafford's the mvp. It's over. There's a dog on the train. Cops are looking.
Jeremy
I want to do it here.
Tony
They just said it on now.
Chris Cote
All right, we'll do it next week as well. I don't want to do it here every week. Yes, we should. Yes, you. Yeah, like you. A little bit scared. A little bit less confident than usual. That's a good character. I want to do this more often.
Mike Ryan
You see him. You see him.
Chris Cote
It's public transit. Yeah, you're scared. You're not. You're doing illegal things. This is not allowed. You have to have a license.
Greg Cody
I could be arrested.
Chris Cote
Yes, that's correct. All right, see you later.
Tony
Also hauling ass. By the way, where are you going later?
Chris Cote
You look somehow less. Less brown than Mike. He doesn't know where he goes. He doesn't know where the public transit goes. He's going all over downtown Miami this time of year.
Michelle
It's a lot. Lights, noise, pumpkin spice. It's everywhere. But one feeling that we are all still chasing is coziness. And Bumbas has the socks, slippers and tees, basically everything to get you there. There's something oddly therapeutic about a fresh pair of socks.

I want to address Tony in all men. Who would wear that shirt in public?
Chris Cote
Stugats.
Jonathan Zaslow
Don't do it.
Chris Cote
This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats. Let's get to funniest thing from the sports weekend. I don't want to go to you, Mike. What do you want? He looks stupid. I mean, what are you doing?
Mike Ryan
It's an interesting way to frame things. What I want is the truth. What I want is head to head to matter. We're obsessing over the wrong things. Strength of schedule, strength of record. They talk about eye test. Miami passes the eye test. Miami is the hottest quarterback in the nation. They're playing their best football in November yet. People don't want to talk about that. That's wrong. It's unjust. It should scare you. It's woke.
Chris Cote
Let's do the funniest thing from the sports weekend, please.
Mike Ryan
Gay again.
Chris Cote
Hey, people, tell us what in sport made you laugh hardest this weekend. It is a segment we call what make you laugh this weekend.
Jonathan Zaslow
Ha ha ha.
Dan Le Batard
Jeremy, Dan, I don't know if you were watching the Cleveland game, but Jerry Judy was running around with probably the most confidence I've ever seen, holding the ball away from his body in a way that makes you think, oh, this is gonna be a fumble, isn't it? And then before you could get that thought out, here comes the punch so far away from his body that it didn't even matter.
Greg Cody
Zaslow, look, stop tweeting at me. Do I know about that, Landman? It's non stop. It's non stop tweets. Do I know about that, Landman? And let me get something. Let me make something perfectly clear here. I don't have a problem with punching the football to create a fumble. I have a problem when you punch and you miss the football and punch a player that to me, it doesn't seem like it should be illegal play. But all in all, stop asking me if I know about that Landman. I know about that Landman got an extension, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, that's. My mentions were chaos this weekend because he got an extension.
Chris Cote
Look, you're publicly anti Landman or you're publicly and I supporting the punching of Landman when he runs around there just punching people and causing footballs to come flying out. It seems like a valuable resource to have in the that sport. Yeah, just.
Greg Cody
All I'm saying is punching players during play shouldn't be allowed.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah, worse than that. Tush push.
Chris Cote
Controversial. Controversial. Take how we enjoying all the permutations of changed 60 yard plays off the tush push now where Mark Andrews is rumbling through your open field, where the only big plays that was 15 games the Browns had gone without a 50 yard pass. The only big giant plays you get in these games were Daniel Jones can't get the ball. Ball 20 yards downfield. Is tush push derivative. Is. Is some sort of fakie play that allows you to run in the open field.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah. Terrible, fraudulent disgrace to the NFL. I am glad that the Browns won though, because I picked the Browns. We went 13 and 1.
Chris Cote
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Jonathan Zaslow
We also had Dallas.
Tony
Did you see what he just did there?
Jonathan Zaslow
Did you see what.
Chris Cote
Yeah. I asked you a question about a play and you said disgrace to the league and you just wanted to get how to how good you were on your picks.
Jonathan Zaslow
Well, it was a poor question and everybody's wondering what I meant, how I finished with my picks. Because after I lost a game Thursday night, although I did have Texans with the points, I went on a heat, a weekend long heater, finished 13 and 1, the best record, best weekly record in PFPI so far this season.
Chris Cote
Craig, by the way, I asked you a question, a serious football question. You did the lazy. It's a disgrace. It's an embarrassment. And then went straight to telling us how you went 13 and one on your picks this week and it wasn't against the spread, just overall.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah, 13.
Chris Cote
13 and 1. Congratulations. You beat the Lions to beat the Giants. Congratulations.
Greg Cody
What was the one you lost?
Jonathan Zaslow
Buffalo? Houston. Although I did have Texans with the points. But when you call something an embarrassment and a disgrace, that's such strong language.
Chris Cote
But you don't know.
Jonathan Zaslow
But you don't need it.
Chris Cote
No. You didn't have any real feel.
Jonathan Zaslow
No.
Chris Cote
It's an embarrassment and disgrace that there are 60 yards runs off of the permutation of the tush push. Yes, it's an embarrassment and a disgrace.
Jonathan Zaslow
Correct.
Tony
Correct.
Jonathan Zaslow
The NFL should ban it all. They should ban it all, including the punch. You know, I mean, when Zaz is right, I agree with him. You know, Jay Z had that one, right? I agreed with him.
Chris Cote
He called you Jay Z.
Greg Cody
It's whatever.
Chris Cote
He calls you Jay Z. As if you're chummy.
Jonathan Zaslow
It's whatever, you know.
Chris Cote
Mike, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Mike Ryan
Have you seen this? The AP poll came out and pollsters are ranking Notre Dame ahead of Miami, citing that Notre Dame looks like a totally different team since they played and lost to Miami, where I come from that success should also be attributed to. To Miami. That's right. Notre Dame success is Miami success. It's a tiebreaker and it's woke.
Chris Cote
Don't do this again.
Mike Ryan
What was gay.
Chris Cote
The funniest thing from the sports weekend, Chris?
Jeremy
LSU had senior night and Brian Kelly, who was let go early earlier this season. His son plays for LSU and was a senior. And he celebrated, paid respect to his dad. We're gonna play a video here.
Chris Cote
And one of those seniors is Brian Kelly's son.
Greg Cody
This is Kenzo Kelly coming out pregame.
Chris Cote
Pay special attention to that T shirt he's got underneath his jersey. Long live bk. Long Free my boy.
Jonathan Zaslow
Free my boy bk. You know who.
Chris Cote
You ever call your dad your boy?
Jonathan Zaslow
No, never did.
Jeremy
That's him.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Jeremy
On its shirt it said Free my boy, bk. And he was showing it and it's just like an ah, everything awkward.
Chris Cote
I didn't understand how it is this weekend. The reports around this were that LSU goes to re fire Brian Kelly.
Greg Cody
Yeah, they finally fired him based on.
Chris Cote
His lawsuit because he's suing them because he doesn't think he's going to get all his money back. So this is his son doing a freedom march on behalf of his boy.
Jeremy
His father, who never been like, free.
Chris Cote
My boy, Greg, who's owed $54 million.
Greg Cody
Long live BK. He died.
Jonathan Zaslow
Burger King. What does that mean?
Jeremy
Brian Kelly.
Chris Cote
Brian Kelly, Greg. Have you not.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay, it's just a joke because most people when they. When they hear bk.
Chris Cote
Good one.
Jonathan Zaslow
Most people, when they hear BK, think of Burger King before they would think of Brian Kelly. Plus, does his son ever play or is he one of the.
Chris Cote
Why did you give Jonathan Zaslow Jay Z? Because most people wouldn't think Jay Z when they look at Jonathan.
Jonathan Zaslow
I think that's a fitting nickname that I just bestowed upon him.
Greg Cody
You think catch on?
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah, I do. Do you like it? Embrace it.
Greg Cody
It's fine.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay. See, that's an embrace.
Greg Cody
I'm giving it a ton of thought.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay.
Chris Cote
The college football stories of the weekend that grabbed your attention. I don't know what it is that you made of the games from this weekend because the top 10 has asserted itself, as we mentioned, during the local hour. Although I do think most people listening to this would say, I don't know if Oregon's good. I don't know who's good. I don't know if I know the SEC isn't as good as I thought they were.
Mike Ryan
I haven't seen that.
Jonathan Zaslow
Brian Kelly's son had zero tackles this season.
Chris Cote
He Looks like a walk in.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah.
Mike Ryan
Or against. That number is against who? Usc. Who has USC beaten? That's not a good team. However, that's held up as Notre Dame's best win. This is wrong. It's bad. It's woke and gay.
Jonathan Zaslow
Did you say that Brian Kelly's son looked like a walk in?
Chris Cote
A walk on is what I meant.
Jonathan Zaslow
I believe you said walk in like a walk in closet.
Chris Cote
I did say. I did say walk in. I did mean to say walk on, but you got me. I was hoping to skip past that.
Jonathan Zaslow
I don't skip past anything.
Chris Cote
You got me.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay.
Chris Cote
Yes. You got me cornered.
Greg Cody
Made him a closet.
Chris Cote
I did. I made him a closet instead of walk off. He's got zero tackles. That's the biggest statement he's made in an LSU uniform is supporting his daddy for getting fired and wanting his buyout money.
Mike Ryan
Can I ask you something?
Chris Cote
His inheritance.
Mike Ryan
Can I ask you something? Why has Notre Dame looked so much better since playing Texas A and M? Please answer my question.
Chris Cote
Because they beat Syracuse 77 and UM played Syracuse and didn't beat Syracuse like that.
Mike Ryan
They destroyed them. Why does that matter? They didn't play NC State. Played Notre Dame. Notre Dame was up 107 at half north. NC State hadn't crossed a 50 when they played Miami at halftime.
Chris Cote
You're going to do transfer transitive property.
Mike Ryan
The trans issue does matter. But I'm just asking you a blatant question. Why is Notre Dame look so good since playing Texas A and M and Miami?
Chris Cote
Can I do funniest thing from the.
Mike Ryan
I'm asking you a question.
Chris Cote
Please. I know you're trying to avoid. You've been asked.
Mike Ryan
This is not.
Chris Cote
I have not been trying to avoid.
Mike Ryan
Be confronted with the truth. Can't kick me out.
Chris Cote
Minor penalty.
Mike Ryan
We're just asking for adding nothing.
Greg Cody
Wow.
Mike Ryan
This is communism.
Chris Cote
I'm sorry to do this to you. This is. Oh, don't do it again. Don't do it again. Don't do it again. Don't. Out. Out. Minor penalty. Two minutes for verbal diarrhea. Don't do it. I'm going to hold on. Don't do it.
Jeremy
Don't.
Jonathan Zaslow
Don't.
Chris Cote
Minor penalty, two minutes.
Greg Cody
Sport came out of your mouth.
Mike Ryan
And gay.
Dan Le Batard
That guy barely looks like himself at this point.

Don LeBatard Surely every time you're watching this, you recognize that your wife is laughing. That she married. She married Larry David.
Jonathan Zaslow
I do. Yeah. One of the great characters in the history of television. In my humble opinion. And. And to my credit, my personality.
Chris Cote
In my humble opinion. Followed by to my credit, amazing.
Jonathan Zaslow
My personality.
Chris Cote
Just amazing.
Jonathan Zaslow
Predate. Curb your enthusiasm.
Chris Cote
Stugats. Oh, wow.
Jonathan Zaslow
I'm not gonna say Larry David.
Chris Cote
Okay.
Jonathan Zaslow
Patterned himself.
Chris Cote
You copy. All right. Put it on the poll, please. Juju did Greg Cody copyright being an asshole long before Larry David. This is the Dan Levata with his two guards.
Jeremy
Dan, what's your funniest thing? Diovon walking out with Diego Pavia's mom.
Chris Cote
That's evidently a real relationship.
Jeremy
I don't Mike says it's. I don't know. I think they're doing a bit but it's been a thing all year that he's been jokingly the Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia had senior night and Theo Von walking out with him was interesting.
Chris Cote
Many of you were nominating Barry Jackson being hacked the way that Zasla was hacked. I don't know what that backstory story is. You'll have to inform me. But my funniest thing from the sports weekend was in the middle of that Jags Arizona game as the Jags are doing jaggy things in order to end the game. Arizona's driving down the field with Jacoby Brissette at the end of the game. There are no timeouts. They've got less than a minute left. They throw the ball to Michael Wilson. He catches the ball, gets up, spins the ball. They don't have timeouts. He's got to go retrieve the ball because there's a giant hurry, and they don't get seven points because of how slow they were getting down the field and had to kick a field goal and then, of course, lose the game. And nobody will talk about that today. Like, lost the game spinning the ball because. And then had to go retrieve it in the end zone and kicked it when he just needed to get back in. In, into play so that they could spike the ball. What are you pointing to, Chris Cody?
Jeremy
I thought Zazzle wanted to give his funniest thing.
Jonathan Zaslow
I do. I want to give him.
Greg Cody
Yeah, I mean, my. My funniest thing. I mean, it shouldn't be funny, but I guess I like not being the only one. Is that Barry J. Jackson's Twitter account got hacked. Okay. Like, there's something comforting to me that it's not just me. It seems like it's the same person who ended up hacking him because it's the same tweet.
Chris Cote
Why is the funniest thing from the sports weekend someone being hacked? Why is that you? Why are you enjoying other people?
Greg Cody
No, I just said, like, I. There's a comfort in me knowing that it wasn't just me. And I had to go three days. It was not fun. It was three days before I was able to get my account back. It was a whole mishigos in order to get control of my account back. But Friday night. Friday night, during my show on ESPN Radio, at the end of the show, live on the air, I recovered my account. That's right. I got it back. I am now master, my domain once again. Barry Jackson, good luck.
Chris Cote
That's not cool of you to enjoy Barry Jackson's misery there.
Greg Cody
I'm not enjoying his misery. I'm enjoying that I'm not the only one.
Tony
It's one sucker to another.
Chris Cote
Oh, this is.
Greg Cody
I'm not a sucker.
Jeremy
When you get hacked, you want others to get hacked. It's the thing.
Chris Cote
Is it?
Jeremy
Yeah. You don't want to be alone.
Chris Cote
You just want others to get.
Jeremy
It makes you feel better. It's like, okay.
Jonathan Zaslow
Happen to anybody.
Greg Cody
Yeah, that's right. It could happen. If it happened to me, it could happen to you.
Chris Cote
But what is it the violation of? I don't understand what you're doing. Where you would wish this misery upon someone else. It's it, it's two and a half days of inconvenience to you and then it happens to someone else and you're happy that it happened.
Greg Cody
I didn't wish it. It just happened. It's not like I was there. Oh my God, please. I hope that I happens to Barry Jackson too. And then it happened. No, that's not at what happened at all. But it happened. And I'm like, oh, look at that. That's crazy. Happened to me too.
Chris Cote
Greg, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?
Jonathan Zaslow
Well, first of all, I want to congratulate Barry Jackson because based on everything I've seen, that's a sweet new ride he's got thanks to that bitcoin windfall. So good for you, Barry. The funniest thing from the sports weekend to me was that North Carolina loses on a last minute field goal to make Bill Belichick officially bull ineligible. I love that. I just. Because of, because of Jordan. I want ill on Bill Belichick this season.
Chris Cote
Because of Jordan?
Jonathan Zaslow
Yes, because of, because of her domineering relationship and him allowing it to happen.
Chris Cote
Wait a minute.
Jonathan Zaslow
I want ill to befall Bill Belichick.
Jeremy
On like just a season, right?
Jonathan Zaslow
Not, not in 10 rolls. I wish him no ill health.
Jeremy
That's what you just said, Greg.
Chris Cote
Can't you disguise it slightly better than just slightly better than that? You're saying because of that creepy relationship, I want him to forever lose.
Jonathan Zaslow
That's. I wish ill of him this season. So when he.
Chris Cote
But it could be about any thousand of things. That's the one it could be about for any thousands of reasons. Bill Belichick was a jerk to everybody for many, many years. Why was. Would that be your top reason?
Jonathan Zaslow
Because when he's winning Super Bowls, he's got the veneer of genius to cover the jerk hood. When he's losing at North Carolina and under his auspices, they're both ineligible for the first time in like eight years. All right, that's funny.
Chris Cote
I'm going to have to muzzle you. You know what? She's. She's trying to sue Pablo. She's threatening to sue Pablo.
Tony
Under what grounds, by the way?
Chris Cote
I don't know. A defamation of some sort. She was showing her media credentials because she guess Pablo reported that she was forbidden from coming on the field and says so she says she's going to sue him for. I don't, I Don't know. Slander. Just libel.
Greg Cody
Good luck proving that.
Chris Cote
Yeah. Okay. You guys say that as none of the people who have to pay the lawyers frivolous lawsuit.
Tony
She doesn't have to pay the lawyers either.
Chris Cote
Yeah, but I do.
Jonathan Zaslow
I really do.
Chris Cote
Yeah. Yeah, because Pablo doesn't get in trouble on Pablo's behalf. Pablo gets on trouble of our behalf. That's right.
Tony
Your behalf, not mine.
Chris Cote
We all own the company. It does have to do with us. I don't know why you guys separate yourself from the company. You have.
Tony
Well, during bad stuff. Yeah.
Chris Cote
You have shares during good stuff.
Tony
We all win during bad stuff.
Chris Cote
So wait, so when you've got part equity in the. In the program.
Tony
I got part equity and good side. Right? Like, there's good side and bad side. You have equity in both. I've got equity on good side. That's it.
Chris Cote
Okay. Very good.
Dan Le Batard
Some of us have no equity.
Tony
The voice is great.
Dan Le Batard
Great.
Chris Cote
Jeremy's killing the voice.
Jonathan Zaslow
Dude, I love it.
Greg Cody
You are doing a good job. You should bring that on the broadcast.
Chris Cote
Greg Cody. Greg Cody suggested, and I didn't let him go to air with this because he's been a little bit unruly today. His judgment has been off. You suggested that they get an old Beatles photo. For what reason? Because I largely like to keep this as an audio experience, and I don't like to exclude the audio audience with an assortment of visual jokes, although Mike has been doing that plenty today. Can you explain what it is that you're. What the photo is that you would like of the Beatles?
Jonathan Zaslow
Sure. I think that a lot of people don't think that's really George Harrison. And so I would like us to show a photograph of the four Beatles during their heyday that includes George.
Chris Cote
They don't think that's George Harrison. You don't think that they can tell that that's Jeremy?
Jonathan Zaslow
No, no. I think it's George Harrison, the ghost of.
Chris Cote
And so you believe that's a realistic recreation that Jeremy is doing of George Harrison.
Jonathan Zaslow
Look at that hair.
Chris Cote
Okay, so you want them looking at the real picture now. You want them to just pull up photos, a variety of Beatles photos to show how on brand and how well in disguise Jeremy is today.
Jonathan Zaslow
I would love to see a Beatles photograph from the heyday that included our George.
Jeremy
Well, now you got it.
Jonathan Zaslow
No, I don't.
Chris Cote
You don't. You still don't have it. That's not the one you want. You want something better than that?
Tony
He wants a Photoshop. He wants to Photoshop Jeremy into a.
Jonathan Zaslow
Picture of the Beatles with the four Beatles.
Jeremy
He didn't say that.
Mike Ryan
Well, put it back on. On. On the monitor there.
Jonathan Zaslow
The Fab Four, they call them. Not the Fab one.
Mike Ryan
Are you looking at this? It's right in front of your face, right? It's telling you who it is.
Jonathan Zaslow
Well, that was George when he was younger. Now we have the older George.
Mike Ryan
Can't ignore your eyes. The eye test matters. Like something that we saw on August 31st. That should matter.
Chris Cote
Can I ask you guys the question? When I hear Nance and Romo and there's a flag thrown on the field, and Nance says casually, the fans want A flag's not thrown. And Nance says casually, the fans want some laundry. And I'm just. I was just. I absorbed it. I'm like, yes, that's what they say. And I'm like, why do they. Why do they say that? Why. Why would the flag be laundry? He said it casually. And I'm like, I don't think that expression is right. Why would that be laundry? But other people call it laundry? There's something dirty on the field. Is that why it's laundry?
Greg Cody
I think it's just a Seinfeld reference where Seinfeld does the bit that we're rooting for laundry out there. No, that's different.
Chris Cote
No, laundry is uniform. Seinfeld's bit is not the flag. It's that we're rooting for. Not players. We're rooting not for human beings. We're rooting for laundry. People who wear the colors that we like. Flag's not supposed to be laundry, is it?
Jonathan Zaslow
Yeah, I think it is. And here's the derivation of that. The metamorphosis of the penalty flag. Okay? We used to say, it's a penalty on the play, and then it became it's a flag on the play. And then Al Michael started saying, it's a marker. It's a marker on the play.
Greg Cody
It does.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yes, a marker. And now heard that now the slang is laundry.
Chris Cote
No, that's not the slang. I was objecting to it. That's not the slang. That was what he would.
Jonathan Zaslow
You could look it up.
Chris Cote
You could look it up.
Jonathan Zaslow
Penalty flag, marker, laundry.
Chris Cote
That's the evolutionary we're talking about. That's the evolutionary chart.
Jonathan Zaslow
When you see that picture of the Homo sapien who.
Chris Cote
The evolutionary chart.
Jonathan Zaslow
Okay.
Mike Ryan
Did you hear that?
Jonathan Zaslow
Penalty, flag, marker, laundry.
Mike Ryan
Why is it there a hetero sapien?
Chris Cote
I don't think.
Mike Ryan
Have you asked yourself that question?
Chris Cote
Don't do this again. Don't do this again. I'm just asking. How are you so orange? How are you so orange?
Tony
Ever heard of the sun?
Chris Cote
How much have we spent on orange?
Mike Ryan
You've bull you've something that Miami has.
Chris Cote
Infected today's show with your University of Miami biases. It's this. I can't do this for a. Piggy. I can't do you University of Miami whaling for a month. They're a good football team because you're.
Mike Ryan
Carrying water for the opposition. It wasn't too long ago where we eliminated the computers because they devalued head to head. This matters. It's scary. It's real. It's coming to your home and it will turn you gay.
Jonathan Zaslow
Wow.
Jeremy
Greg, you like this photo?
Jonathan Zaslow
That's what I'm talking about. That's proof.
Tony
That kind of thing, right?
Jonathan Zaslow
Yes, that kind of thing. It's irrefutable proof. Sergeant Pepper.
Chris Cote
So obviously Lonely hearts club band.
Jonathan Zaslow
Yes. George.
Chris Cote
Jeremy, I think this might be the best costume that we've done around here. How realistic this is and how fooled it has everybody into thinking you're a beatle. You look exactly the way that a beatle would the Browns.
Mike Ryan
Miami looks like a national champion.
Chris Cote
The browns had not had a starting quarterback win a game in 17 straight tries. A first time starting quarterback. Shedeur is the first first time starting quarterback for the browns to win a game in 17 tries.
Jonathan Zaslow
They should call him shedeure. He gets it done, that guy.
Greg Cody
That's literally what they call him.
Chris Cote
Doer.
Jonathan Zaslow
You're saying shouldoo er shadoo er like a doer. Ooh, I don't like that doer.
Chris Cote
He gets it done. He's a doer.
Jonathan Zaslow
Interest game. Getting it done.
Chris Cote
So d o dash e r instead of e u r. Yes.
Jonathan Zaslow
Correct.
Tony
Shouldoor play the 49ers next week. We'll see how how that goes.
Chris Cote
The 49ers, by the way, it seems like they did Iuk dirty. Anyone want to talk about that? No, just moving on. Just taking away the contract. No, no. Guaranteed. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing is guaranteed. What do you mean? Your body's breaking. Get out of here. We keep your money. Yeah, we're good with that. Okay, good.
Tony
Didn't like it when I saw it. I was like, oh, fully voided.
Chris Cote
Super dirty.
Tony
Been hurt.
Chris Cote
Super, super dirty.
Mike Ryan
It's not the only injustice there is in sports. There's one happening right under your noses. Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing? Here.
Chris Cote
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Mike Ryan
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.
Chris Cote
Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Sweet.
Mike Ryan
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Chris Cote
Cuervo.
Mike Ryan
So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo, Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com, please drink responsibly.
Chris Cote
Cuervo.
Episode: Hour 1: Not The Best Judgement
Date: November 24, 2025
Location: Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami
This episode kicks off with Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and their regular crew engaging in their signature, freewheeling banter covering football storylines, pop culture, and Miami-centric quirks. The hour is heavy on NFL talk (especially Matthew Stafford, the Rams, and the Lions), the ongoing Lionel Messi spectacle in Miami, gripes about soccer broadcasting on Apple TV, and the show’s staple—chaotic segments and rapid-fire comedic exchanges, especially “Funniest Thing from the Sports Weekend.” Notably, Tony presents his “Top 5” list live from a Miami Metro Mover, adding extra unpredictability to the hour.
The episode is tightly packed with the show’s characteristic blend of high-energy sports discourse, local flavor, improvisational humor, and inside jokes. The crew frequently interrupts, riffs on one another, and wields self-deprecation liberally. There’s an undercurrent of satire regarding sports media, the commodification of events, and the insularity and oddities of Miami sports culture.
Summary prepared for listeners as a comprehensive breakdown of all meaningful sports talk, recurring motifs, and comedic highpoints—leaving out ad reads and non-content sections per instructions.
