Hour 1: What's Up, Trevor? (feat. Matthew Berry)

Date: November 7, 2025

---

Episode Overview

Broadcasting from the Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and the crew serve their signature blend of sports talk, irreverent humor, and pop culture commentary. This episode jumps from dissecting a viral Bill O’Brien press conference moment to hypothetical strategies in sports and the ethics (and weirdness) of pet cloning, all before the show's fantasy football mainstay Matthew Berry shares weekly advice. Add in a few Miami quirks, plenty of running jokes, and some unfiltered group chemistry for a thoroughly “Le Batard” hour.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Bill O'Brien Loses It at a Reporter (“What’s up, Trevor?”)

Timestamps: 00:57 – 04:20, 46:00 – 43:47

• Dan and Stugotz open with a press conference soundbite featuring Boston College football coach Bill O’Brien, who responds testily to a reporter (Mike) asking about morale after another loss, punctuating his rant by abruptly turning to another person (“What's up, Trevor?”).

• The crew riffs on the exchange, dissecting O’Brien’s reaction and defaulting to “classic hating” with the jab “I’m glad you’re down,” and finding comedy in the coach pivoting to Trevor mid-answer.

• Notable Quote:
  Bill O'Brien (01:52): "You can go out there in your dark clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do... The sun is up and we’re fighting. That’s my message to the fans. What’s up, Trevor?"

• Segment highlights the media’s love of coaches losing their cool and debates if you have to “earn the right” to ask tough questions at press conferences.

• Group debates: Does Mike have a reputation for “down questions”? Should you only ask pointed questions if you’re around all season?

---

2. "Put the Town on Alert": Sports Betting & College Football Talk

Timestamps: 04:52 – 07:20

• Running gag: “Put the town on alert,” referencing betting upsets and classic sports movie moments (Pierce Brosnan, Dante's Peak), applied to upcoming college football matchups.

• Rapid-fire assessment of various teams (Iowa vs Oregon, Mississippi State, Georgia, Wisconsin, Penn State), debating upsets and the psychology of betting.

• Notable Moment:
  Dan (06:55): "Wisconsin plus 11 and a half… now they have been terrible in conference play, but this conference, bottom part of the conference, just a bad, bad conference."

• The group jokes about knowing (or not caring to know) interim coaches’ names, and the farce of sudden fandom for programs just because of a potential bet.

---

3. The Tom Brady Pet Cloning Rabbit Hole

Timestamps: 07:26 – 13:34

• Stugotz brings up the headline: Did Tom Brady clone his dog?
• Spirited exchange on the ethics, weirdness, and mechanics of pet cloning. Is the clone “the same” if its “soul” (memories/personality) is missing?
• Some panelists (Bear) dismiss the idea that a cloned pet could ever be the original:
  Bear (09:43): "This dog doesn’t know you, bro. It’s just a new dog that looks exactly like your old dog… the thing that you’re trying to recreate is not the physical, it’s the emotional."
• Dan and Stugotz muse on Tom Brady as “almost a robot learning to be human” and speculate he might even clone himself.
• Consensus: The group finds animal cloning creepy and emotionally unsatisfying, even as some (like Dan) appreciate the sentimentality behind wanting to “bring back” a pet.

---

4. Tallest Athletes & "Reinventing" Football

Timestamps: 20:34 – 27:26; 30:22 – 37:03

• Pivot from odd sports personalities (goalies, middle linebackers, closers, seven-footers) to the tallest college basketball player (Florida’s “Rue,” a 7’9” French player).
• Brainstorming (and riffing) on whether you could put a 7’9” player on the field to block kicks—can you stand under the crossbar and swat field goals?
• Misunderstandings about the legality; quick research reveals “goaltending” actually is a penalty in football, a rule born after a real 6’10” NFL player (Morris Stroud Jr.) did this.
• Notable Quote:
  Stugotz (25:20): "...for example, the three-point shot is worth more than the two-point shot... football coaches are now behaving on fourth down... baseball players are now saying, you know what, home runs are much better than stolen bases... we could play these sports wrong for 50 years at a time... makes me think somebody somewhere has just overlooked the fact..."
• Matthew Berry weighs in (31:33): "Yes, yes, I'm in on the seven foot nine guy."
• Ultimately, it’s discovered the 7’9” Gator failed to block a single kick in practice—disappointing coaches, debunking the “cheat code” theory.

---

5. Antonio Brown’s Legal Issues in Dubai

Timestamps: 38:31 – 40:08

• Dan and Tony dive into disturbing news: Antonio Brown arrested in Dubai on attempted murder charges following a public altercation and allegedly firing shots.
• They reflect on Brown’s public descent and mounting legal/mental health issues, noting he’s now being extradited to the US.
• The show notes the surreal element that nobody was hurt yet emphasizes the downward spiral since Brown’s infamous shirtless exit from the Buccaneers.
• Notable Moment:
  Tony (39:34): "He hasn’t really been in public eye… now he’s being extradited back to the United States to face those attempted murder charges. So it’s kind of a weird situation where luckily nobody was hurt."

---

6. Group Antics, Bear Costume, and Miami In-Jokes

Timestamps: 13:47 – Throughout

• A recurring side plot: Chris, one of the contributors, is suffering inside a sauna-like bear costume (“I don’t think I’ve ever been this damp” – 40:34), to the group's amusement.
• The crew riffs on “water machines,” Miami traffic, and random local color—including the much-anticipated “Fronton” event and Basque-country athletes.
• The segment ends with a rapid-fire parody recap of the Bill O’Brien clip, set to music—a tongue-in-cheek “B.C. isn’t down” chant (42:46).
• Notable: The familiar blend of inside jokes and faux-exasperation ("It's unbearable!” – Chris, 42:20).

---

7. Fantasy Football with Matthew Berry

Timestamps: 32:15 – 34:28

• Matthew Berry offers his weekly insights:
  • QBs: Justin Herbert should feast on PIT; Matthew Stafford has a cake matchup with SF.
  • RBs/Props: Rico Dowdle and Quintean Judkins in favorable spots, with Dowdle getting massive touch volume.
  • WRs/TEs: Jalen Waddle and Wandale Robinson have advantageous roles; Rondale Gadsen is a tight end revelation.
• Rapid summary, lots of actionable stats ("Quarterbacks that face Steelers this year are averaging 299 passing yards per game..."), and banter about whether the crew is making money off Berry's picks.
• Notable Quote:
  Berry (34:38): "Things have been good to me. Thank... It's gone well. I don't know that I'm better than usual. It's been a pretty typical year. You get a lot of stuff right, you get some things wrong and hopefully you finish in the money..."

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Bill O'Brien Meltdown (01:52):
  "Mike, you always come in here with these down questions. Like, you show up like once a month or something like that... You can go out there in your dark clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do. We're not down. The sun is up and we're fighting."
• Bear on Cloning (09:43):
  "This dog doesn’t know you, bro... the thing that you’re trying to recreate is not the physical, it’s the emotional."
• Dan on Tom Brady (10:26):
  "I really do feel sometimes like Tom Brady is trying to learn all the tricks he needs to learn on how to be human, that he’s the closest thing that we have to a robot or an alien trying to impersonate a human being."
• Sports as a Long-running Joke (25:20):
  "The idea that we could play these sports wrong for 50 years at a time..."
• Chris, suffering in costume (40:34):
  “I don’t think I’ve ever been this damp.”

Final Thoughts

This episode encapsulates the freewheeling charm of "The Dan Le Batard Show": part sports analysis, part comedy improv, all wrapped in Miami flavor. Whether riffing on notorious press conference moments, exploring the bizarre corners of animal cloning, or crowd-sourcing new ways to win (or ruin) football games, the show maintains a balance of self-awareness and irreverence. Matthew Berry’s fantasy football tips cap off the hour, but the real signature is in the crew’s sideways approach to both sports and life.

Transcript

[Dan Le Batard]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are you doing here?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

The tequila that invented tequila.

[Stugotz]

Roximo.

[Dan Le Batard]

[Stugotz]

Cuervo. This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Stugotz]

I don't know what you guys would nominate as better than this in terms of stuff that the media loves to have and play with, but Coach getting snippy with reporter is very high on the list of things that we delight in, correct? Press conference. Sound of a coach handing down judgment, arrogance, condescension. So, Bill o', Brien, if you were not. Aw. Bill o' Brien is now the coach of Boston College. Boston College is pretty terrible this year, and Bill o' Brien evidently didn't like what he was asked here. And Bill o' Brien went maximum Bill o'. Brien. And the reporter ends up getting swallowed in the butt chin that Bill o' Brien has.

[Dan Le Batard]

Coach wondering, do you have a message to the fans? Obviously losing to Notre Dame Catholic school rival 1 and 8 now in the season of BC. I've heard from a lot of fans. I just really.

[Bill O'Brien]

Yeah, I'm really glad. You know, I'm glad you're down. I'm not down. Nobody's down. We're fighting. We're competing. You know, it's the second year of this program. Mike, you always come in here with these down questions. Like, you show up like once a month or something like that. You come in here with these down questions. I'm not down. I don't know what year you graduated from bc, but this is a program that we're building. Nobody here's down. We're positive we're going to show up and play our asses off against smu. You can. You can go out there in your dark Clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do. We're not down. The sun is up and we're fighting. That's my message to the fans. What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

How you doing?

[Stugotz]

Trevor's feeling a lot better than Mike in that situation. Does Mike put it on the poll at Le Batard show? Does Mike always show up with the down questions?

[Bill O'Brien]

What's up, Trevor?

[Stugotz]

How you doing?

[Dan Le Batard]

Gonna have to clarify that for context, for people.

[Chris]

Do you have to earn the right that this begs the question, do you have to earn the right to ask a down question? Like, if I show up like four times a year for an NBA season, am I allowed to ask? Like, I feel like you have to earn the right, be there every day, and then you can ask me the.

[Bear]

Tough questions, then you can be down.

[Stugotz]

That's what he's saying. You can't show up once a month and come in with just the down questions. Where everyone sees that you're the person who comes in with the down questions. You gotta be around a little more than that.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know what's up. Trevor is the funny part of this. I love how Bill o' Brien cut him off knowing exactly what Mike's brand is here. Like, can we. Can we play the beginning? Like, he's like, you know what? Like, I don't know what time, what year you went to B.C. and you bomb in once a month. I love this response from Bill o'. Brien. Coach, I'm wondering, give me a message to the fans. Obviously, losing to Notre Dame Catholic school rival, 1A down the season of BC. I've heard. I've heard from a lot of fans. I just really.

[Bill O'Brien]

Yeah, I'm really glad, you know, I'm glad you're down. Nobody's down. We're fighting. We're competing. You know, it's the second year of this program. Mike, you always come in here with these down questions. Like, you show up like once a month or something like that. You come in here with these down questions. I'm not down. I don't know what year you graduated from bc, but this is a program that we're building. Nobody hears down. We're positive we're going to show up and play our asses off against smu. You can. You can go out there in your dark clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do. We're not down. The sun is up and we're fighting. That's my message to the fans. What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

His message to the.

[Tony]

Trevor's like, how you doing, Trevor?

[Matthew Berry]

How you doing, son?

[Dan Le Batard]

Is up. We're fighting.

[Stugotz]

I do enjoy the idea that not only does he cut off the question, but he cuts off the question by telling down Mike, I'm glad you're down. I'm. I'm glad. I'm glad. Like I think he meant to say I'm glad you're here so I can get all of this off of my chest. But instead what he just said is I. I'm glad you're down. That's classic hating. Is it not to say to somebody, I'm glad you're down would be classic hating hating 101, would it not?

[Dan Le Batard]

It would be. Put the town on alert for SMU too.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Stugotz]

Really?

[Dan Le Batard]

20 years of watching a team get a signature win against Miami.

[Stugotz]

Love those letdown and then stroll into.

[Dan Le Batard]

A noon start in the acc. Town on alert. Lots of town on lots of alerts. This. This week is Go ahead. Bloody want to do it.

[Stugotz]

Go ahead.

[Dan Le Batard]

The town on alert. Everyone's on Iowa to beat Oregon. Who's Oregon beating? Northwest.

[Stugotz]

Bad weather game too. Right.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's at Iowa. We like Iowa there. Put the town on alert. On alert. This line isn't moving that in a direction that I would like. But Mississippi State, they're a tough team.

[Stugotz]

Georgia decent.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Georgia winning within the margins. Put the town on alert. Down on a lot.

[Stugotz]

They won their first conference game in two years last week.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Bear]

I just like to remind everybody that's not Pierce Brosn in Dante's peak saying put the town on alert. That's Mike doing Pierce Brosnan in Dante's big saint.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put the town on alert and you.

[Bear]

Do it better than Pierce Brosnan did.

[Dan Le Batard]

Maybe. Maybe it's him, maybe it's me.

[Tony]

Who.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who knows? Put the town on alert. Wisconsin plus 11 and a half. I think they can win that game straight up. Now they have been terrible in conference play, but this conference, bottom part of the conference, just a bad, bad conference. But Luke Fickle just got that extension. Play hard for coach. Plus 11 and a half. Well, he didn't get the extension. He got the vote of confidence. Rhett Lashley got the extension. Put the town on alert. We got. We got so many. Penn State 14 and a half. What are you playing for? Right? Yeah. You got quarterbacks.

[Stugotz]

You're going to take Penn State against.

[Dan Le Batard]

Indiana and Indiana rules teams. But 14 and a half at Happy Valley, when you put the stroll in a Happy Valley. Put the town on alert.

[Stugotz]

When you put the town on alert, it's to win the game. It's not to cover 14 and a half.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert. I think that this is the signature game for this interim head coach whose name I don't care to learn over in Penn State. Now this one, the line is moving in the right direction because I locked it in at five and a half. And I think two lane wins this game. Straight up. Memphis. Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert.

[Stugotz]

Memphis really derailed my beloved South Florida Bulls. The way that South Florida fell apart in the fourth quarter. They've got no pass rushes. The problem South Florida has. But Memphis is very good in second halves. And Memphis destroyed South Florida in the fourth quarter of that game because I really did think South Florida was in had an angle to be a playoff team because of how they score, how good they are offensively.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don't write them off just yet. Tulane can help them out tonight when they win straight up against Memphis.

[Stugotz]

We were talking earlier about Tom Brady and I'm wondering how much you guys got into the story last week because I really found this a bit shocking and perhaps I shouldn't have. But I, as a pet lover, as an animal lover, cannot fathom the idea of cloning a pet that is not the same pet. Once you've removed the soul, which cannot be manufactured, you've just got a pet running around your house that is the physical embodiment of the pet that you have lost, but is not the actual pet anymore. And the thing that I thought. And again, again I thought it. Is he bleeping with us? Is Tom Brady just doing something to actually create headlines or am I being fooled by the Internet? Because Tom Brady would be among those most likely to try some of these things. But it's so robotic that I was not offended by it, but it is something that I would not do.

[Bear]

This guy thinks pets have souls.

[Chris]

What's the mechanics of it? Like, there has to be a. There has to be a surrogate dog, right?

[Tony]

No, I think they just create it in like a oven incubated dog.

[Stugotz]

What do you mean?

[Bear]

Do you not remember Dolly the sheep? They did that like 25 years ago.

[Chris]

I guarantee you they are like, it's a surrogate dog. That is like birthing the dog. They take the blood, they. The way they do it with humans. Like. Like what? You guys just think that there's an oven, they put a code in and all of a sudden a dog walks out.

[Bear]

They've been able to clone animals for 25 goddamn years.

[Chris]

I guarantee you. This is a surrogate situation, which then you beg the question. Is it really?

[Bear]

Stop begging questions, man. Stop begging them.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you're begging it.

[Bear]

I'm not.

[Stugotz]

I don't think Chris realizes how funny it is for him to lecture us about how humans do things while dressed as a bear while visually pointing at us, getting. Getting angry. But. So would you guys do this? Amin is not an animal person. But would you guys ever put it on the poll at LeBatard show?

[Dan Le Batard]

He's going to look it up.

[Stugotz]

Would you clone your pet? Because I believe this was just. All this was, was science lab stuff. I believe that all they did was the DNA of the original dog and then go to a lab and do whatever scientists do to clone things. Yeah.

[Bear]

And Dan, you say the soul. You don't say soul. Like the memories. This dog doesn't know you, bro. It's just a new dog that looks exactly like your old dog. But here's the thing about dogs, at least for me, I feel like every day I see dogs that I've seen a million times before. You go to the pound and pretty much find, unless your dog had, like, vitiligo or something, you're gonna find the same dog at the pound somewhere or at the dog store, wherever you guys get dogs, right? Like podcast the rescue.

[Stugotz]

The rescue. It's not like podcasts. Wherever you get your dog. Yeah.

[Bear]

So I feel like, so, like, such an unnecessary step because the thing that you're trying to recreate is not the physical, it's the emotional. It's the dog that knows me and remembers that time that I didn't even remember. I don't even know about that.

[Stugotz]

This, though, this is the reason that I think that Tom Brady is among those most likely to embark on this particular journey is because I really do feel sometimes like Tom Brady is trying to learn all the tricks he needs to learn on how to be human, that he's the closest thing that we have to a robot or an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

[Bear]

Dan, you missed a great episode of the Dan lebatar show then. Because our theory was different. Our theory was he's doing it because it's a test subject for when he eventually clones himself. And then I had a theory that went beyond that and that he's already cloned himself. That's how he kept winning championships despite being a million years old. How does he do it? It's because he was a clone.

[Stugotz]

You guys think this is creepy, right? The mo. Most people listening to this do think it's weird to clone an animal no matter what your or your children's attachment to that animal is. Mike, you wouldn't consider cloning Roma? In fact, Roma is. I would imagine that your relationship with Roma, memories and all, is almost not a physical relationship. I know you're playing with a dog, but the things that about Roma are personality based. Things that are unique to Roma.

[Bear]

Terror.

[Stugotz]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think there's also like some spiritual stuff that would be difficult for me to come to grips with, but I would like to talk to people about it. Not just the people doing the science, but like, you know, get some feedback. I don't know if. Do you know Barbra Streisand? Can I speak to her? How'd this go? I would like to know, like, was it kind of like it or did it just look like it? Cause if it just looks like it, it's not the same thing.

[Stugotz]

Oh, but Mike, I'm assuming. Nevermind just looking like it. I'm assuming if there was a way that your dog ran and all of a sudden you've got a clone that's running differently now, you're reminded every time. That's not my dog. That is not that you're reminded all the time that your dog is dead.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, I don't think it's just gonna be like this soulless creature that has dead eyes that looks at me, that doesn't have its own charming personality that I can fall in love with. And I think I would take solace in. Well, a little piece of Roma is in there. It would be like I follow this guy that owns some of like Roma's siblings because we adopted Roma and her siblings are all over the place and we found like some of her brothers and sisters. And I get a kick out of it. I would love to like adopt just a dog.

[Bear]

You like dogs? That's all it comes down to.

[Mike]

It's not like, okay, Mike, is that you?

[Stugotz]

What happened?

[Bear]

It's like, no, the dog doesn't know anything about it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm well aware of your whole bit when it comes to pets and dog.

[Bear]

It's not a dog bit like, it's a dog, dude. There's no. There's no part of a clone dog that's gonna be like, you look familiar, like, I've known you from my life before. No, it's just a dog. Feed me, walk me, all that. And you're gonna be like, oh, you're a dog. And you look like my old dog. I love you, but there's no part of this where there's any sort of spiritual connection. No bit of your dog exists in the clone. It's just a dog. Get one of Roma's siblings, you're probably gonna think it's the same dog.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think you're emotionally mature enough to have this conversation with me.

[Chris]

It seems that the bear might have been right here. I'm gonna read from an article here. If you decide to clone your dog, there are a couple things to be aware of. For one, the cloning process doesn't always lead to a viable egg. And even dog pregnancies sometimes fail. That implies a pregnancy. They don't make these things in an oven. It's a surrogate.

[Tony]

There was that one time that Tom Brady's face changed, right? It went from very jolly to very sharp. And it was like maybe he was contrasted, like in Westworld, like increased sharpness of jaw.

[Bear]

No, you know. You know what that is? That's multiplicity. Because in multiplicity, as he keeps xeroxing himself the clothes, you remember this, Roy? They begin to deteriorate in, like, quality, right? So it's like, oh, you look a little weird. You're acting a little weird.

[Dan Le Batard]

You touch my pappy. Steve.

[Sergey Bobrovski]

You know how most home security systems wait until after something bad happens? Just like a goalie just standing there until the puck's already in the net. That's reactive. Simplisafe, on the other hand, well, that's Sergey Bobrovski. A net is for active protection.

[Dan Le Batard]

We could do it in Buffalo or Baltimore either.

[Bear]

He said you could do it where?

[Dan Le Batard]

Anywhere.

[Bear]

Oh, whoa.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Bear]

That's crazy.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's crazy.

[Stugotz]

He could do it anywhere.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's crazy.

[Bear]

Murder.

[Dan Le Batard]

Murder. Tell him stugach I had no idea. Mean had that in his locker. That might be his best. That's crazy.

[Tony]

I'm not kidding.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's crazy. Killer.

[Bear]

It's two America's Dance.

[Stugotz]

You don't get it. This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats. Can we get the video, please, of something that I think requires and demands more attention? If you're not familiar with how crazy it is that athletes are aging better than they ever have, Ovechkin did something no player has ever done before. He scored his 900th goal. That's not something that anyone has ever done. So it's historic. And the goalie for the St. Louis Blues, who was playing in that game, who allowed the goal? Jordan Bennington. He tried to steal the puck in a way that was obvious. He hit it in the back of his pants. He was confronted when I read about this story, when I read about the entirety of the story, that he hit it in the back of his pants and that he was confronted by the referee in the crease. The crease was a funny phrase to hear because it's where I assumed, based on where he was putting his hand, that he had hidden the puck. He was absolutely trying to steal it. Right. Was he gonna. Was he going to try and sell that on the open market? Like, what. What was he going to. Did he just want to keep it? I'm the guy who allowed the 900 goal. That would be a source of shame to Mose. But he wanted to compound the shame by stealing the puck.

[Dan Le Batard]

Or maybe he just wanted to make sure it went to Ovechkin and he would hand deliver it. Or he's a goalie. They're all insane. And he's just having fun.

[Sergey Bobrovski]

It's probably the latter, considering that the linesman will probably pick the puck up out of going handed to the trainer in the capital.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, he's just insane. I don't like that guy. He ripped my heart out at the Four Nations.

[Bear]

Yeah.

[Stugotz]

I mean, goalies are strange. In fact, by position, I think that. Let me think about this for a second. In terms of positions throughout sports, you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Got your middle linebacker. That always has to be crazy. Kicker.

[Stugotz]

No. Yeah, the kickers get strange. No, but I think goalie. Thank you.

[Chris]

That Closers.

[Stugotz]

That's a conversation we're having.

[Dan Le Batard]

But they're strange. No, no, no. They're strange compared to everybody else. But they're like. They're normal people. Closers. Good one. Fist Me Bear.

[Stugotz]

Yeah. But goalies, I think, win the category. If I would I would put on the poll. Put all of these on the poll. Strangest person, goalie, kicker, middle linebacker, closer. Those are the four. Are we going. Is there a fifth category? There are none in basketball. Correct.

[Bear]

Well, we've got two in basketball. One is seven footers generally tend to be very strange people, even by basketball standards. Also, I don't know if this is universal across all sports, but in basketball, if you're from Seattle, you're probably a weirdo.

[Stugotz]

Put on the. I'm going to eliminate Seattle, but I am going to put seven footers on there. The University of Florida played the tallow. Tallest player ever played yesterday. Rue, the guy on French guy. 7. 9. 7 foot 9 is the tallest player to ever take the court. And I believe. Wasn't there someone around here, I don't remember who it was, who said that they had the blueprint on how to defend Wemby. Now that there's me, Daniel, that. The blueprint. You.

[Tony]

You have blueprint is out, Dan. And you know how I know things, right? Tony finds out very quickly. Yeah, very quickly. So what I've realized is, hey, if you smart.

[Bear]

If you.

[Tony]

If you have. Have a smaller guy on Wemby's physical, who's gonna rake his hands every time he touches the ball, it seems to work out. And that was the blueprint last year when the. When the. The Thunder were on their way to the championship. It's like, hey, why don't we just bother Jokic with a smaller guy? Force him to create on his own in the opposite side where Wemby's like, damn, I can't create. Because this guy's just always.

[Stugotz]

So a PJ Tucker type is the way to defend.

[Chris]

I like that.

[Tony]

Body type.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Bear]

Get someone small and stocky and physical pushing them out. Then you got a coordinated trapping attack, attacking from the blind side. I thought the Suns did a good job in delivering the spurs first loss in terms of they sent help and then the guy at the nail rotates out to where the help came from. And they just had this kind of this.

[Tony]

It's like a motion defense.

[Bear]

Yeah, like a motion defense. And it's. It's all based on. Look, he can't see everything. It might actually work more for Wemby than it would for Jokic. Jokic is such a great passer.

[Stugotz]

Can see everything.

[Bear]

Yeah. Wemby's not there yet in terms of passing, so it's a way more effective strategy. Unfortunately for this kid, for Florida, Rue, you don't need all that.

[Tony]

He's a Stiff. Yeah, just shove him up in a way Wemby's not. But again, it's interesting to see, like, all right, he's got these incredible games where they're trying to defend him with another big. And then all of a sudden you see the games where they've tried the scenario and it's like nine points, 15 points. It's like, oh, wait a second.

[Stugotz]

But you guys. You guys are like me, right? I. I think that I would represent what would be the normal human reaction of any sports fan. You hear a guy is 7 9, and what sweeps over you is sadness for that person. Correct. That that has to be a difficult life, that he has lived the entirety of his life. Or am I. Am I different than most on that front?

[Bear]

I think given thought, yes. I begin to think about, oh, yeah, that must really suck. But is it the first thing I think of?

[Tony]

No, I think he's a stiff. And then. And then I feel sad after.

[Stugotz]

So, okay, so you guys don't hear 79 and immediately say, oh, that life must be tough to just take every daily step through that life physically.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're so strange, man.

[Tony]

No, I'm like, oh, he could touch the hoop without moving.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like, it's a thought. It's just not the first one. The first one's like, wow, you're huge.

[Stugotz]

But seven nine, like that.

[Tony]

My first thought is, get that guy in the anchor. The two, three. Stand there, buddy.

[Matthew Berry]

Do not move.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why doesn't he block kicks? Wow, they tried that. I think this is the guy that. They brought him out. Yeah, well, that shows you. They brought him out to the football fields and they're like, all right, let's. Let's reinvent the game of block and kicks.

[Tony]

Billy Napier is no longer there.

[Dan Le Batard]

This guy's a stiff.

[Stugotz]

Just sit him over the nose tackle.

[Bear]

And just stand up.

[Dan Le Batard]

Honestly, how bad must that have gone for this guy to not just stand there and do that? He clearly affects it, right?

[Tony]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Except, like, what is he doing sitting down? How bad are you at this practice in a three point stance?

[Stugotz]

Put it on the pole at LeBatard show. Should the seven foot nine guy be great at blocking field goals?

[Tony]

Why don't they just move him all the way back to the goal post? He stands there and as the ball's coming, swats.

[Bear]

Does that work? Can you do that?

[Tony]

Why not?

[Bear]

Whoa.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can block it at the los.

[Bear]

There's no goaltending.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no one's ever really tried that.

[Bill O'Brien]

That's what I'm saying.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's gotta be against rules.

[Tony]

No, no. It's like the tush push. It's like the tush push they're going to have to ban at some point. But they can't now.

[Stugotz]

It's not the easiest to jump like you guys. It would have to be very close to the crossbar.

[Dan Le Batard]

Seven, nine guy. Wait a second. Did we just reinvent football?

[Tony]

I think so.

[Bear]

The guy who kicked the 68 yard.

[Tony]

Field goal the other day that just went in. Exactly.

[Bear]

He gets that slap through the crossbar. We put Victor Wamiyama right there. He's tossing that.

[Stugotz]

Brilliant. You guys believe that it can be done because Tony sitting here with conviction saying that it's allowed and I'm not sure it sounds like it was.

[Tony]

Ever tried to do that? Nope.

[Stugotz]

Illegal.

[Tony]

They haven't done anything yet. The tushbush is illegal.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, but they may. Yeah. When you were asking the question why haven't we seen it yet, the answer might plausibly be because it's illegal.

[Tony]

But if you can block it at the line of scrimmage when it's already in flight, why can't you stop it at the way down there?

[Bear]

Goaltending.

[Dan Le Batard]

The sports got stupid rules. You can't advance a muff.

[Stugotz]

Why?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know.

[Stugotz]

Fumble.

[Tony]

Ruski.

[Stugotz]

That's why I'm assuming that this is against the rules. But I shouldn't assume that because there are any number of things in sports that you can't help but laugh at today, that we've been doing it wrong all our lives and we're no longer doing it wrong. Like there, for example. The three point shot is worth more than the two point shot. It's more valuable. That is something basketball should have been doing since the three point shot was invented in 1979. Like people should have been going for the. For the shot that was worth more. The way football coaches are now behaving on fourth down versus the way they've always behaved on fourth down. And the way baseball players are now saying, you know what? Home runs are much better than stolen bases and one base at a time. It's much better to do. Like the idea that we could play these sports wrong for 50 years at a time makes me think that somebody somewhere has just overlooked the fact that you can block field goals by standing underneath the crossbar.

[Dan Le Batard]

I researched this. There is goaltending.

[Stugotz]

Really?

[Dan Le Batard]

You can't touch the ball once it clears the. This New Zealand. The one. Chatgpt.

[Tony]

I don't know. But it could be wrong. It says on the bottom, chatgpt can be wrong.

[Bear]

And again, it is often like the time it thought my Halloween costume was an ode to the time I wore a bathrobe on espn, I'm like, I never wore a bathroom. What are you talking about, stupid?

[Tony]

I think it's still out. We jury still out on ChatGPT's answer.

[Bear]

Here's my belief as to why we haven't seen it happen. It's a couple of things. Number one, to have someone that tall. Like we just don't have that walking around in general, right? Forget about in the NFL, just in general. And then most of the kicks, unless they're just about to clear the crossbar, if this higher no tall guy's going to be able to get.

[Tony]

Of course that could be 20ft in the air. I get that.

[Chris]

But.

[Tony]

But when you trot out a seven footer and you say, all right, they're going for a 60 yard field goal, you have one guy on the roster who's six, you know, nine or seven feet tall or whatever, you trot them out there and you say all right, if that thing is close, you swat.

[Bear]

The out of it.

[Stugotz]

Except that we've now found out this is illegal.

[Tony]

Chat GPT though you could be wrong.

Don LeVoteRD.

[Mike]

There's sunglasses and boxes today. Ending our lives.

[Dan Le Batard]

All those things, the same stugats.

[Mike]

It's the final night gown.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats. Before we get to Matthew Berry, did you guys make money on Matthew Berry last week? Because Matthew Barry is giving you good information here in order to make money. Like he's got. He's got Marco.

[Tony]

Washington had a nice game. I know he called him out.

[Stugotz]

Yes. He had a number of things that he got right. He's gotten a number of things right. The only thing he got wrong, I think was Daniel Jones.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is indeed called goaltending. It has been outlawed. Randall Cobb once attempted this. Didn't strike the ball. But had he struck the ball, everyone's saying it would have been a penalty for goaltending.

[Tony]

I don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

And I do think that there is a case study. I have to go back into and review the microfiche. But I think a basketball player did force the NFL's hand to put this rule in.

[Stugotz]

So do you think before we get started in earnest and speed up, Matthew Berry, let's just get his expertise on this. Matthew, do you think if I took that Florida Gator stiff, Rue, whose first name I don't know. He's seven foot nine, Olivier. And put him on the line to block field goals. Do you think he would be good at blocking field goals? If I just took a 7 foot 9 guy and put him over the. Over the. Over the center.

[Bear]

Oh, he's muted.

[Stugotz]

Okay. He said yes, but his sound is not up.

[Bear]

Yeah, we're gonna take your word for it.

[Stugotz]

Hold on a second. But I saw it. I read his lips and let's get his sound right. Let's make sure that his sound is right so that the next time I ask him a question, that's not the way that it goes. Roy, what is your level of confidence? I'm glad that the Bear is all over things that he needs to be on. On this particular instance.

[Sergey Bobrovski]

Very high.

[Stugotz]

So your level of confidence is now good. All right. So all right.

[Chris]

Very high.

[Stugotz]

Very, very high.

[Bear]

Matthew Perry.

[Stugotz]

He said yes, though. You should know.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes, yes. I'm in on the seven foot nine guy.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Tony]

My only worry is the pads. How do you get a pad like that big? The torso is massive. On a guy like that. You got a little pad.

[Stugotz]

You just put them on the shoulder.

[Matthew Berry]

They'll figure it out. They'll figure it out. It's, you know, like whatever they, they got, they got different uniforms. Every other week in the NFL, they'll figure out a pad size.

[Stugotz]

Hey, Bear, can you come over here please and do the promo for Matthew Berry and give me the music again so that we can celebrate Matthew Berry the way that we're supposed to celebrate Matthew Berry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Perry. Matthew Perry.

[Bear]

Matthew Barry.

[Chris]

Check out Matthew Barry's fantasy football happy hour, weekdays at noon on YouTube.

[Stugotz]

Give it to us, Barry. Give us money.

[Matthew Berry]

All right. Justin Herbert is third in the NFL in passing yards per game. Quarterbacks that face the Steelers this year are averaging 299 passing yards per game. In fact, the last three to face the the Steelers, Daniel Jones, Jordan Love and Joe Flacco all through for at least 340 yards. They've also allowed at least two total touchdowns to every quarterback they face this year except Dylan Gabriel. Justin Herbert not named Dylan Gabriel since week four. The second best quarterback in fantasy points per game, Matthew Stafford. 25, at least 25 and four of the last five since week five. The Niners allow over 21 fantasy points per game for the last five quarterbacks to face. The Niners have scored at least 20 fantasy points as well. All right, let's see. Rico. Dallas had three games this year with at least 20 touches. He scored at least 28 fantasy points in each one of them. The reason I bring that up is that running backs the same at least 15 touches against the Saint this year, averaging over 17 fantasy points per game. Rico Donald last week played 74% of the Panthers snaps, even with Chuba Hubbard back. And three of the last four completed games for Quintean Judkins. One of them, he left early due to injury, but the three games that he finished, he had at least 24 touches. Okay. Since week two, the jets are giving up the fourth most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. And that was before they traded away their two best defensive players. Take the over on Judkins rushing prop. Let's see in the five games since Tyree kills the injury. Jalen Wallace had at least 80 receiving yards in four of them. He's averaging over 15 fantasy points per game that stretch. Buffalo is allowed at least 16.9 fantasy points per game to an opposing wide receiver in four straight games. Dolphins, by the way, are nine and a half point underdog to Buffalo. They'll be throwing in games where he's seen at least seven targets this year. Crystal Lobby is averaging over 15 fantasy points per game. Here's the saint step chart behind Olave now 32 year old Brandon Cooks. Devon Bailey who has five receptions on the season and Mason Tipton who has zero. Rashid Shahid now in Seattle. Since week six, Wandell Robinson has a 30% target share. He averages over eight targets a game. No team allows more touchdowns to the slot. Where Wandell Robinson lines up then the Chicago Bears. That's who Wando plays this week. Four straight weeks. Ronda Gadson has finished as a top 12 tight end. He's averaging almost 18 fantasy points per game during that stretch. And so far this year, the Steelers once again ranked bottom five in the NFL in terms of most receiving yards, most fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends.

[Stugotz]

Excellent work, Barry. You are. You're cashing in this year, right? You're doing well. You're doing. You're doing well. So far. Better than usual or things.

[Matthew Berry]

Things have been good to me. Thank. It's. It's gone well.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Matthew Berry]

It's gone well. I don't know that I'm better than usual. It's been a pretty typical year. You get a lot of stuff right, you get some things wrong and hopefully you finish in the money. And so far it's been. I've been doing this a long time, so it's gone well for me.

[Stugotz]

My enthusiasm that people question at the beginning is not insincere. Once I realize that this man is giving away money, this tends to be something that makes me a little bit happier than I was now that I'm a little more informed about my practices.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, it's an indictment that it took.

[Stugotz]

You that long that I'm late to this particular game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Plays to props.

[Stugotz]

Matthew, good talking to you. Thank you as always for making the time for us every week, sir.

[Matthew Berry]

Appreciate it always. Dan, we'll see you next week.

[Stugotz]

All right. I see that the group back there has been delighted by something you were doing research and the all of you were very excited.

[Chris]

Yeah, it was great.

[Stugotz]

Including the bear.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, there was a Miami connection. So Hank Stram, the great Chief said coach had a 6 foot 10 player, Morris Stroud Jr. Who was actually born in Miami. He was the tallest player in the league. And he realized that they're not blocking kicks at the line of scrimmage all that effectively. So his plan, over the course of four years and Shroud was successful at it a handful of times before the owners colluded to stop it, was to have Shroud goaltend at the field goal post.

[Stugotz]

So that's what changed the rule. That's what made it the rule that Tony now questions is a rule.

[Tony]

I was behind my time, Dave. Instead of being ahead of my time, I was behind my time because that was. That happened 65 years ago. But again, I had no knowledge of it. But me and Hank Stram, one brain.

[Bear]

Great minds think alike. Dan, thank you. And I for one, if I were an NFL coach, I'd petition to change that rule back.

[Tony]

Look, force them to do it again. Be like, oh, you want to stop it?

[Bear]

It's not like it's easy. It's not like it's easy to block that. It's not like the number of opportunities to block that is plentiful. But if you want to carry a roster spot dedicated to a dude who's six' ten with a seven four wingspan, go ahead, knock yourself out.

[Stugotz]

But they were doing it back then because people were smaller. 610 was the equivalent of 7 9. We got a 79 guy now, like that's, that's a. Obviously a foot tall. It's like eight feet tall. Yeah. And. And then I'm assuming the eight footer has very long arms. I'm assuming that if he plays basketball, he can get off the ground some. Although as little as Rube plays. I don't think that may. I do think his feet might be bolted to the ground.

[Dan Le Batard]

Rue was unable to. He's got an 11 inch vertical apparently. But he was unable to block a single kick during his workout with Florida football. Coaches were a little disappointed.

[Stugotz]

It's good reporting by you.

[Bear]

Oh, I thought he'd be better.

[Tony]

I think it's bad coaching on their part, to be honest.

[Dan Le Batard]

You know, me, I mean, was, you know, Billy Napier still no longer there?

[Stugotz]

Can you guys help me with more information on a couple of football stories that are very difficult to talk about and I don't know how people are talking about these stories. First of all, Antonio Brown being a arrested in Dubai for attempted murder was something that we have seen as the details have been reported on Antonio Brown's life that seemed to be more and More reckless in public. And if the details in public are this reckless, I'm going to assume that he's not getting caught every single time he's doing something wrong in public. Antonio Brown for a while has been descending into a combined health of danger and what appears to me to be mental illness stuff. And now there's a charge he's caught while he's in Dubai. And I don't know what he was doing in Dubai. Was he trying to stay away? Like, he was there for a long time in Dubai and he had trailing him that he got into a fight in public. There's a video at a boxing match of him getting fight into a fight in public. And then he took a gun and took shots at somebody with the gun.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's what the video looks like, makes it look like.

[Stugotz]

That's what it looks like to everybody. And then he was all of a sudden in Dubai for a long period of time, and now he's being arrested on murder charges while in Dubai. Are there any details here that are new or fresh that make you wonder whether Antonio Brown's about to lose a good deal of his freedom? And it's going to be one of the most apocalyptic cases we have ever seen of an athlete of any kind, not just a football player, going through a descent into straight madness that ends with the last time we saw him on a football field, he was kicked off the field by the champion Bucks. He took his shirt off, off. And then just all of a sudden, everything in his public life has become something that's hugely messy.

[Tony]

Well, luckily enough, nobody was injured, nobody was hurt, nobody was killed. So it is attempted murder. The reason why there was a scuffle outside of a boxing event. He shot two shots or three shots into a crowd. That's where the alleged attempted murder charge is from. But he was in Dubai. He's been very kind of like off the. Off the lam.

[Dan Le Batard]

Right?

[Tony]

Or on the lam. He hasn't really been in public eye. All of a sudden, he shows up in Dubai getting extradited. Dubai allowed US Marshals to go in and basically go find ab, which is a weird thing too, because it's like, is that. Is that legal? Do they do that? Like, how does that work? But now he's being extradited back to the United States to face those attempted murder charges. So it's kind of a weird situation where luckily nobody was hurt. But there's been a long string of trying to catch this guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

He did announce that he's handing over the social media keys of CTE SBN to his team as he later stays low and deals with this.

[Tony]

Stay low.

[Stugotz]

I heard from his company.

[Chris]

You think that was, like, a company email? He's like, all right.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, team, stepping away.

[Stugotz]

Stay low. Hearing you go, ha. From inside the cavernous bear costume. So much so cavernous that I could hear the echo from inside of the dampness was a funny ancillary sound to have around a very serious story. Story.

[Chris]

I don't think I've ever been this damp.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, you got a story.

[Chris]

Try turn this mic.

[Tony]

The battery looked kind of damp too, though.

[Chris]

Battery, yeah, that was definitely a bit damp as well.

[Tony]

That was a damp one.

[Matthew Berry]

It's a black.

[Tony]

You know, the black big box.

[Stugotz]

Chris, how do you feel right now?

[Chris]

Damp?

[Stugotz]

Is that. That's the. You're gonna leave here tired, correct?

[Chris]

I am tired. It's just like, you know, I'm just looking at our clock and just being like, another minute twice.

[Dan Le Batard]

Got some rest. We got a big night ahead of us.

[Chris]

What should I do? Yeah, no big one at the Fronton tonight. Dan, you going?

[Dan Le Batard]

Can we get your support? Is Unda good or is he not good? Oh, we Unda versus Keita, the Unda taker.

[Stugotz]

The problem and the only problem that I have with getting out there is you guys play at the height of problematic traffic. Like, you guys, it is really hard to get over there. It takes 90 minutes.

[Tony]

You going westbound?

[Matthew Berry]

You're fine, fine.

[Tony]

It's eastbound is the issue.

[Chris]

Take the chopper, choppa.

[Dan Le Batard]

You never know who will show up. Like, Bob Wishuzen might be there today. Yeah. Is Unda.

[Tony]

Take a German.

[Chris]

You pick up that name?

[Mike]

No, The Undertaker.

[Dan Le Batard]

Unda's from the Basque country, and he loves to play. That's the guy that I got into it in the locker room with. I'm like, I have to play, boss. Oh, I know you want to play, but we got, you know, championships in mind.

[Chris]

Can the Bear sit out the club? Can I be done?

[Stugotz]

No, no.

[Dan Le Batard]

God, no.

[Chris]

So I'm gonna dance.

[Tony]

You got. You got away from the 29 Nuggets that you should have finished. You're finishing the Bear costume, Damn it.

[Chris]

Go fuck yourself.

[Tony]

That was uncalled for.

[Stugotz]

Just do your costume. You have to do. You have to finish the punishment. You can't just wander around Earth being in an occupation that allows you to be high all the time.

[Chris]

It's unbearable.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don LeBatard, it sounds to me like.

[Stugotz]

Everybody could use a hug, because a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hug is always the right two guts. All I have put in my body today is Three cups of coffee and.

[Stugotz]

An entire cup of honey.

[Chris]

Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Mike]

I don't know when you graduated, but you show a monthly and go go all negative feel so you, bro. So leave it to Mike to act like the fans have lost the faith. I'm glad that you're here so I can tell you to your face. We are competing right here at bc. Man, you sound crazy. No one in this program feeling down. You are the only person who's worried. B.C. isn't down. Down, down, down, down, down, Down. B.C. isn't down. Down, down, down, down, down, down. What's up, Trevor? No one Year is down.

[Bear]

Dare I say he did need background vocals.

[Tony]

Yeah, we told them, though. Like, we knew he rushed it, so.

[Bear]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sorry that wasn't a quick enough turnaround for you?

[Bear]

Look, it was incredible considering the time constraints. Also, Chris is dying of dehydration.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you for your art.

[Stugotz]

I'm.

[Chris]

I'm damp still.

[Bear]

He's lost a lot of fluids. I don't know if you guys know this.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, yo.

[Sergey Bobrovski]

You have a water machine outside.

[Tony]

That's crazy.

[Dan Le Batard]

You mean a water machine?

[Bear]

Is that what it's called?

[Dan Le Batard]

It's called the water machine?

[Sergey Bobrovski]

Yeah, it's a machine that dispenses water.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's what Dan calls it.

[Bear]

Colorado Boulders.

[Dan Le Batard]

Water machine.

[Tony]

Horse farm.

[Dan Le Batard]

Machine horse.

[Stugotz]

You like that one, huh?

[Bear]

One time.

[Tony]

One time.

[Chris]

That was like the peak of me being stoned.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?

[Stugotz]

Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard]

The tequila that invented tequila.

[Stugotz]

Roximo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cuervo. Com. Please drink responsibly.

[Stugotz]

Cuervo.
