1. Introduction to Drones and Technological Concerns

The episode kicks off with a spirited discussion about the increasing presence of drones in urban areas such as New Jersey, New York, and Boston. Mike Ryan voices his apprehensions regarding the sophistication and potential misuse of drone technology.

• Mike Ryan [01:17]: "I can't just enjoy the show because in New Jersey drones are doing evil things because I don't trust the billionaires."

Stugotz and other co-hosts engage in a light-hearted debate about the nature of these drone shows, pondering whether they might one day incorporate lasers for control, thereby exacerbating public fears about surveillance and privacy.

• Stugotz [04:08]: "Make over your head?"

• Mike Ryan [04:18]: "They made an elf. Surfing on a surface."

2. Navigating Media Credentials and Access Issues

A significant portion of the conversation centers around the challenge of obtaining media credentials for Lucy to cover a pivotal game at Texas. Mike Ryan proposes leveraging Ricky Williams' influence to secure access, highlighting the struggles of an emerging media outfit in being recognized by established institutions.

• Mike Ryan [07:08]: "Should we bring down the full weight of Ricky Williams on the Texas athletic program to get us media credentials?"

Dan Le Batard offers a contrasting perspective, advocating for respectful negotiation without threats, while Jessica and Chris Cody add layers of humor and strategy to the discussion.

• Dan Le Batard [09:02]: "I don't believe we should threaten anybody. The people at Texas have been very, very kind."

The discussion shifts to college football bowl games, particularly focusing on the unconventional Pop Tart Bowl. The hosts marvel at the creativity behind the trophy—a working toaster—and humorously speculate about future iterations.

• Chris Cody [29:22]: "The Pop Tart bowl trophy might be the best trophy in all of sports."

• Dan Le Batard [30:13]: "Then it was like, oh, my God, we're going to make the trophy into a toaster. I don't want to look ahead, but what are they going to do next year?"

They compare the Pop Tart Bowl to other prestigious bowls, emphasizing its unique place in the college football landscape.

• Jessica [30:55]: "I'd rather win that bowl than lose in the first round of the playoffs."

5. Analyzing Deion Sanders and Colorado's Football Success

A substantial segment is dedicated to evaluating Deion Sanders' impact on the Colorado football program. The hosts discuss Sanders' achievements, including winning the Heisman Trophy and securing top NFL draft picks, while speculating on the program's future trajectory.

• Mike Ryan [35:54]: "Do you believe that what he has built in two years which gets two players... could have been in the Heisman Trophy room and see how Russia hasn't already won that war."

Lucy and Jessica commend Sanders' coaching prowess and the significant strides the team has made under his leadership.

• Lucy [37:11]: "Having a player that you coach, recruit and coach and then transfers with you win the Heisman is a just a tremendously huge accomplishment as a head coach."

The conversation also touches on the challenges of sustaining success and the potential for future growth within the program.

• Mike Ryan [38:28]: "I fear winning is so hard that it will be hard to get another two top five picks who can help you grow that fast in two more years."

6. Light-Hearted Moments and Closing Remarks

Towards the end of the episode, the hosts engage in playful exchanges, joking about each other's segments and teasing future appearances. They wrap up with well-wishes and reflections on the show's dynamics.

• Jessica [30:44]: "But Pop Tart keeps, like, upping the price every year because last it started off just, oh, cool. Pop Tart bowl. Hell, yeah."

• Dan Le Batard [43:53]: "Happy birthday."

[Chris Cody]

This is the Don Levator show with the Stugatz Podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not sure, Stugotts, how you feel about what I'm about to say, because I think at this point in my life, I don't think that I should spend so much time scared of technology that when I go outside on my balcony and I see in what looked to be like 30 mile an hour winds, it's super windy out there. I see a drone show where all of these different drones become all of these amazing Christmas things in the sky and every once in a while a drone flies off in a direction and crashes in the ocean or falls on the sand. But largely what I'm witnessing in front of me is a bunch of machinery that I cannot believe is coordinated like this in normal winds, but also is able to withstand 30 mile an hour winds to do this ridiculous technological dance that in some way shape or form I think will have lasers one day to control me. And so I can't just enjoy the show because in New Jersey drones are doing evil things because I don't trust the billionaires. I don't trust allegedly.

[Chris Cody]

Well, we don't know what they're doing.

[Lucy]

They're not doing anything. I think that part's confirmed. The drones haven't hurt anybody.

[Jessica]

Right?

[Lucy]

But there are apparently drones in the sky in New Jersey and New York. That and Boston and like northeast places where the people on the ground are like, whoa, what is this, these are UFOs. And then the government's like, no, these are probably just aircraft. Or like, maybe there are some drones, but they're not like foreign drones that are going to like, kill people, which is what some people think they are.

[Dan Le Batard]

I watched the news this morning and they were talking about it and it was so funny because they had the reporter go on and be like, do not shoot the drones with your guns. That's a really bad idea. You might shoot a plane. You might shoot the drone down. It could hurt somebody. And it was just them for like 30 seconds being like, don't shoot the drones with your guns, everybody.

[Mike Ryan]

I love that song. How it turned into song by the end as both a parental warning and don't shoot the drones. But you guys do understand the fear instead of just being awed by what it is that I'm watching, how it is that I get to. Dear God, I saw in Ukraine and during a Russia war, I'm introduced to drone technology. I don't understand how it is that Russia hasn't already won that war. That all seems terribly horrific. But, oh, there's video footage of a couple of Russian soldiers and there's just a drone over them. And now they are dead because I just saw two soldiers killed in Russia. Because drones can do that now.

[Chris Cody]

Can't you just. Can't you just enjoy a Santa Claus shaped drone show? Like, what is happening that you see this? You're like, in Russia, drones, what they.

[Stugatz]

Make over your head?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. What are they gonna make?

[Stugatz]

Like an elf?

[Chris Cody]

How'd they make a tree? Exactly. Like, it's fun.

[Mike Ryan]

They made an elf. Surfing on a surface.

[Jessica]

Surfing elf.

[Mike Ryan]

They had the wave and everything. I'm like, how they had. Obviously, you know, the snowman. They go. They throw in a snowman for you. A Santa Claus. A Feliz Navidad misspelled.

[Stugatz]

Just focus on that.

[Chris Cody]

How'd they spell it?

[Mike Ryan]

Felicia? This. It wasn't spelled right.

[Lucy]

Yeah, drone this, drone that. Enough about Virginia Tech football.

[Mike Ryan]

We now, as a region, well, we drone on Mondays about all manner of football. Can. Can I get to the interesting transfer portal stuff? Because we have the, you know, we've been obsessed with football here for a couple of months and college football, and we skip past national signing day, but all of a sudden we're the show that's, you know, 16, 17, 18, 19 year olds and where their free agency is.

[Jessica]

It's wearing on me, all of it. Football never stops, Lucy. It hurts, Lucy.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you say it hurts. I think. I think much. There Are two things I think are criminally underappreciated around here. First, Jessica's cookies or Jessica's baking. Second, Hubba hubba. Second is people think Lucy's just fooling around on the weekends and she is battering the country, going from party to party, dragging Rose with her, getting pepper sprayed. Her body hurts. She hasn't had. How many straight days did you work, Lucy?

[Dan Le Batard]

Like, in what, forever?

[Lucy]

I don't know.

[Dan Le Batard]

I got to tell you, brain cells, they're at an all time low right now.

[Jessica]

That's what I'm saying.

[Dan Le Batard]

During the season, especially when I had to be in Miami, I would be working like 16, 17 straight days. Because what a lot of people don't realize is I'm doing all the pre planning for this stuff. So all the video ideas and stuff. I do have people to help me with that, but that all is my thing. I type everything up. I'm incredibly organized. It's a ton of work. And then there's so much involved with travel and all this stuff. And it's been. This is my 16th straight week on the road. I did go on vacation the week before, so actually, technically 17, but that doesn't count because I was just doing stuff for fun. But it wears on your body. I'm a little bit tired. My tummy hurts a lot, and I'm really, really tired. And I'm so tired.

[Jessica]

You had a bye week, though. I mean.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, but then I had to come here.

[Lucy]

I thought I had a bye week.

[Dan Le Batard]

And it turned out I did it.

[Jessica]

Here off the bye.

[Mike Ryan]

Huh? All right, so this is where Meadowlark Media needs to do better in general. And I am now going to ask Billy and all of the resources of Metal arc Media to gather behind me. Because I and Billy, though, all of us, I need your. I need everyone here's help. Jeremy's just left.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, let me write this down.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, please. I need my army behind me. Jeremy's got his Scott Frost song. He's gone to prepare that because now he wants to serenade us with Christmas carols that Stugotts and I don't readily identify as Christmas carols.

[Chris Cody]

Is it a Christmas carol if it's just the tune of a Christmas Carol? Because nothing about that song was actually Christmas.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, the transfer portal happens during Christmas time. It's like die hard being a Christmas movie.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, but Jessica's saying that is a Christmas song. I don't care. It doesn't resonate for me as a Christmas song. But what I need the army behind me on Is the following. Stugatz walked in on me the other day. It was. It was God.

[Chris Cody]

Super bowl licks.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, it feels like he walked in on me naked. It did. Because of how vulnerable I was. So yes, super bowl licks. Thank you, Billy. Because I was so vulnerable. Because he's walking in and I'm leaving a message. Okay. I'm leaving a message because I'm trying to get Lucy a credential for a game and Stugotts is seeing me. Have to call a sports information director and leave an old fashioned message because we're a guerrilla outfit. We're a pirate ship now like metal arc media. I mean, we stream on max. College football is streaming on max. We're on Peacock. I mean, we're on Sirius xm. But she's not being treated like she's a legitimate media member. So I have to make a call so that she can have the credential access and what the question I want to ask you all is, should we bring down the full weight of Ricky Williams on the Texas athletic program to get us media credentials because Lucy needs to get into a playoff game. Should we have Ricky Williams brought in as our muscle to threat? Like, hey, you know what? I gave my body to this school. Can we get a credential for mental arc media?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't believe we should threaten anybody. The people at Texas have been very, very kind. I wish they wanted me there, but they have been very, very kind. And the thing about me, I know they may not think I'm a professional media member, but look at the way I'm handling this.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

I told freaking professional.

[Jessica]

Right? I told Lucy, Dan, if you fail that I will call Major Applewhite. I mean, I did. I told her that I have his number. I will call him. I've called him before. I will call him again. Also, I suggest perhaps Ricky Williams and Chris Sims who was a quarterback in Texas. Except I'm not certain anyone at Texas likes Chris Sims. That's a problem.

[Chris Cody]

No, they hated him.

[Jessica]

Yeah. They don't like.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I mean, it's understandable.

[Jessica]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love Texas personally. I love them so much. Horns up forever.

[Chris Cody]

So I've been writing all this down and I'm wondering what my role is.

[Jessica]

Right? What is out of curiosity? Because you needed Billy the way to everyone behind you. Right.

[Mike Ryan]

What I need is for our group to decide how we should handle the use of Ricky Williams to get where. Tell me when the game is, where it is and what needs to be done. You believe that we should do to now get credentials when I'm not getting my phone calls returned. And it's humbling. It's. It's humbling your phone talk. Phone call returned.

[Chris Cody]

Well, this is what I'm going to do to help out. I'm going to figure out when and where the game is and it's in Texas at 4:00 on Saturday. And now I'm going to pass the baton.

[Lucy]

I didn't know that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you.

[Lucy]

Calling a Manning.

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Lucy]

They may have like a family section. You may be able to get a ticket from. From a Manning.

[Mike Ryan]

Lucy, what is the highest up we can go because skipper calling conference commissioners has not worked. We have tried that and it has not worked.

[Chris Cody]

Have you said please yet?

[Dan Le Batard]

I said please and was kind and I used my manners.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, so.

[Dan Le Batard]

And Texas was very nice. I do not want to all over Texas.

[Mike Ryan]

No. Well, see you upset.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're just doing their job. They have been nice to work with. Some schools they just say no and they don't say anything. And I take it as no. I hate you. And then that really hurts my feelings. But Texas didn't say they hated me.

[Mike Ryan]

But we still are a bit of an underdog here, an upstart media outfit. And I do believe that the way you have battered your body in pursuit of covering football well. Or over the last. Over the last two years makes you someone who deserves to be credentialed to cover these games. You have earned it. No one's giving you any gifts here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Does anyone know Matthew McConaughey?

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do we know him at all? Do you know him?

[Lucy]

Dan Dabo was very excited about the prospect of meeting him at the game on Saturday.

[Dan Le Batard]

He could pull some strings, I think. I don't have his number on me, just his email.

[Chris Cody]

But I. I think I figured something out. I've been typing away here on the old interwebs. Dan, I think I figured something out. I know how to get Lucy into this game.

Game time.

[Chris Cody]

You just go right there. You go to game time.co on the Internet and then you just scroll around and say, oh, Texas football. And then boom, it pops up and you can even choose where you're sitting.

[Stugatz]

Crazy Fan experience is better than the press box too, right? I mean if you get.

[Lucy]

Unless it's really cold out.

[Mike Ryan]

No, but press box and on the field are different things. Right? Lucy has gotten a lot. That's where she got pepper sprayed. That's where the real action is. In fact, shouldn't someone who's been recently in the vicinity of being pepper sprayed have earned their combat?

[Jessica]

Yep.

[Chris Cody]

Well, she hasn't pepper sprayed there, though.

[Jessica]

Rose should go.

[Dan Le Batard]

Rose can't go. She's out of town.

[Lucy]

Oh, wait. Does Taylor have Mac Brown's number? He probably has Texas connections.

[Jessica]

Taylor I'm trying to make connections here, Dan. Neil DeGrasse Tyson went to Texas. You have his number, right?

[Mike Ryan]

He's supposed to be on with us at some point, so maybe we'll badger him on air to see if he can help us. Let's see if we can get a crusade going for Lucy in order to do this.

[Chris Cody]

Don LeBatard he seems like a not.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nice guy and he's always been a not nice guy. I don't care for him and I hope he has the day he deserves.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh wow, let's see. Stugatz I hope he has the day he deserves.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's how I get people when they're really mean to me. I'm not like go f yourself. I'm like, I hope you have the day you deserve.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a great kind insult. Yes, it's beautiful. It's leaving it to the cosmos to sort it out. That's a less Southern.

[Chris Cody]

Bless your heart. This is the Don Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Mike Ryan]

You mentioned Taylor I saw and I don't know what to do with this. Chris Cody I don't know if you also saw it, but in a way that was a little bit aggressive and I thought very gently reprimanded by Jessica in the Eating area. Billy cornered Taylor, had him cornered around the cookies, the delicious, delicious cookies where everyone is gathered and said to him, you didn't break that story. You didn't. He was like he was bullying him. He was all around him. He was like, you didn't. That story, just because you whispered in the corner of the office, that's not really breaking a story. Just because everyone here knew it, that you knew it. That's not breaking a story. When you break the news, but you keep it to yourself.

[Chris Cody]

Well, the actual conversation. How do you guys have a photo of this happening? This is insane.

[Mike Ryan]

They do.

[Dan Le Batard]

What am I doing?

[Mike Ryan]

They immediately have a photo. Look at. Louis can't be trusted. Lewis can't be trusted. He is asking people, what is Samson doing? Coogler is once again secret eating seating.

[Stugatz]

Did someone just fart next to Jess?

[Chris Cody]

What happened in that photo is. I asked Taylor. I said, how did you end up on Fine Bomb?

[Stugatz]

Damn it. It was me.

[Mike Ryan]

I farte notes. I am taking notes in the eating area there of the fact that Billy has cornered Taylor and Jessica's making the face that someone farted and that Lewis can't be trusted.

[Jessica]

Look at you reporting cougs just doing dishes, getting back to your roots.

[Mike Ryan]

He's not doing dishes. He's secret eating.

[Chris Cody]

Jess's cookies were delish, by the way.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, my God. He has felt cougs feel shame the way Jason does that. The talent has noticed the way they've eaten.

[Lucy]

Which one was your favorite, Billy?

[Chris Cody]

I liked, I think the gingerbread. And then I had one that was, like, three different layers, and I didn't know what it was. I was gonna ask the rainbow cookies. Maybe the red one has chocolate on the top. No, this one has chocolate on the top.

[Lucy]

Oh, those are the butterscotch tahini sesame bars.

[Chris Cody]

Delish. You should try some, Dan.

[Mike Ryan]

Billy, why would you corner Taylor and badger him with. You didn't break that story.

[Chris Cody]

Well, because the guy is on Fine Bomb. And I said, how did you get on Fein Bomb? And he's like, whoa. Whatever he was saying, I wasn't listening. And the thing is that I don't understand is he's always in the corner, and he's always has this insider information, but he's like, but you can't say anything. And like, he. Everything is like a secret to him, and he doesn't go out on a limb and report these things. I'm not doubting that he didn't have the information, but he was actively telling everyone. You can't mention it. You can't say anything about this. And refused to go on record saying anything until the news came out. And he's like, I had that. And then he's taking a victory lap. It's like, no, Ali Connolly had this information.

[Jessica]

That's right.

[Chris Cody]

And you dismissed him because he's British, which is a hate crime. Taylor. Not to make this about hate crimes right now, but Taylor hate crimed.

[Lucy]

Ollie, Wait a second.

[Chris Cody]

And then he said he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's wrong.

[Stugatz]

That's actually how he talks.

[Chris Cody]

And then boom. He was exactly right all this time. And we almost had him on God Bless Football. The same day that Taylor was on with Feinbombus, two guys canceled the last minute.

[Lucy]

But correct me if I'm wrong, Ali.

[Chris Cody]

Maybe next week.

[Lucy]

Yeah, Ali also reported there was a 400 page manifesto which apparently was not true.

[Chris Cody]

I'm still not certain on that.

[Stugatz]

Taylor, was it true?

[Chris Cody]

Taylor doesn't know. He can't tell you anything until after it happens.

[Stugatz]

Waving a finger, not sure after it happens.

[Mike Ryan]

Let me. Let me explain something to everyone who is actively in our community. Yelling, les Taylor. Taylor. You're doing journalism all wrong. You're doing the insider stuff all wrong. You don't get to be the insider who carves the lane of. I've got all the news, but I never actually risk saying it out loud, only to a couple of people, so that I can say afterward that I had all the news.

[Jessica]

It stays inside. You can't do that.

[Mike Ryan]

That is not. You gotta get. Put it on the outside or it stays on the inside. You cannot live in both places. Not even around here.

[Chris Cody]

I'm trying to help him. I know that you guys don't see it this way, but I think of Taylor much like two guys thinks of two as a son. I think a Taylor's a son to me.

[Jessica]

Same.

[Chris Cody]

Taylor's like my work son. So I see Taylor and I'm like, you know what, Taylor? We need to kind of. Let's go out there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Would you pardon me?

[Stugatz]

He works hard.

[Jessica]

Billy, this is so. Yeah, Billy, this is so funny. Last week I was saying, are you confident enough in your sources to just put the news out there? Yeah, he wasn't.

[Chris Cody]

Because he's telling us. I talked to three different people and it's like, dude, you have all the information. Put it out there. Like, we can't. I can't say.

[Lucy]

But then they did.

[Stugatz]

I got advice. Worst case, you're wrong. It's fine.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. No one even cares. 20, 24. Nothing.

[Dan Le Batard]

The slow report.

[Lucy]

Hasn't even posted it yet.

[Chris Cody]

That's true. So we haven't confirmed if it's true or not.

[Jessica]

Now, Dan, do you know who Ollie is, by the way? Do you know his connection to Billy?

[Mike Ryan]

I do not.

[Jessica]

He voted him as, you know, one of the top 10 NFL insiders.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, Ollie's the one that put us on that list. So I have to stay on Ollie's good side here. Taylor also was telling me, and I can't say this because like anything else that Taylor has that's news, we can't report it to anyone until after it happens. He's like, I'm working on a big addition to the VIPs. This is an NFL caliber guy. And I'm like, and what is he doing? He's gonna come on with us. Every week I go where? I don't know. Me and Thomas will figure it out.

[Stugatz]

Such a good impression.

[Chris Cody]

He's gonna.

[Mike Ryan]

He's gonna endorse me. Wait a minute.

[Chris Cody]

He's gonna endorse me, and I'm gonna endorse him. And I'm like, what is you endorsing Sam Darnold do for anyone? He's like, I can't say.

[Mike Ryan]

Less Taylor. Less real Taylor. More fake Taylor. More fake Taylor. Because that is a good fake Taylor. I can't report anything. I'm not confident enough to report anything. I'm gonna whisper it in the shadows, actually be news, because it's only going to be you and me talking.

[Lucy]

They did report Inside Carolina did report that the deal was being finalized before ESPN said that the deal was being after Ali.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. O said it was a done deal. And then he told us about a manifesto that maybe existed, maybe didn't, but it was fun.

[Lucy]

Well, the manifesto piece is crucial. Was there a manifesto or was there no manifesto?

[Mike Ryan]

Jessica, you were defending Taylor. You were trying. Before you made the fart face. You were trying to defend from Billy's. In the eating area before Chris farted.

[Lucy]

Well, because Billy was like, oh, if Taylor can get on Fine Bomb, then like, what is the. You know, what is the point of Fine Bomb if we're being real?

[Stugatz]

I watched it. Fine Bomb. Punted on it after, like, three minutes.

[Chris Cody]

Really?

[Stugatz]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Honestly, I was watching it. I'm like, taylor, you're in a television studio. Why are you joining on Zoom?

[Lucy]

Well, he probably didn't want to make Jason do a bunch of extra.

[Chris Cody]

He was eating. We know that.

[Stugatz]

Classic Jason.

[Chris Cody]

Here's an important part to the Taylor. And you can only see this on video on Taylor when you're saying something. You just gotta go like this. Just go like this. Throw your hands, you push yourself back a little bit off the wall and you just make a declarative statement like this.

[Stugatz]

Okay, you see who the Yankees.

[Mike Ryan]

Keep working on that fake Taylor. It's not good enough that I liked your audio version. Now you've got a video version as well. Keep working on all of them. I'd like as many Taylor says you got.

[Chris Cody]

He's mad at us.

[Lucy]

I thought his fine bomb appearance was great.

[Chris Cody]

I thought it was great. He looks great.

[Lucy]

The lighting was a little lighting dark, but it's okay. You good job, Taylor.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

You guys are telling me that Taylor, on behalf of metal arc media, stumbles.

[Chris Cody]

His way on behalf of inside Carolina. If we're going to be honest, which is another issue just from this studio.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to analyze this for a second.

[Jessica]

Stop sharing the news.

[Mike Ryan]

Lucy and Rose are out here getting pepper sprayed. Jessica's flying all over the country to be a part of near, near the Notre Dame experience. Taylor, we send to events where big New York things lose. He comes back and he gets on fine bond before the people around here. Mike Ryan has bought his way into the athletic program of the University of Miami and its insider information chain. And Billy is a proud Golden Panther voice for college football. How is it that Taylor's the first one to arrive on Feinbom from around here as a college basketball college?

[Dan Le Batard]

He broke real news.

[Lucy]

He broke real, real legit. Bill Belichick going to North Carolina. Biggest college football story of the year.

[Mike Ryan]

Dan, Billy is saying that they had Taylor on for two minutes and then Paul's like, why they get me this bozo run him off the air. Like, why is he here just to tell me?

[Chris Cody]

I didn't say that.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you said he was.

[Jessica]

Chris said that.

[Stugatz]

Chris said, I watched it and it was like a four minute interview. Maybe that was the plan.

[Mike Ryan]

So a four minute interview because he whispered in the corner office that Belichick was going to North Carolina and told us not to tell anyone.

[Lucy]

Started ripping because he called out Shefter and they said, oh, we got to get this off. Like, we can't do this to one of our partners.

[Jessica]

But I thought, but I thought Paul agreed with Taylor saying, you know, I'm not shocked that ESPN is taking credit for something that's not their report.

[Stugatz]

He was being a little condescending about it.

[Chris Cody]

No, Paul's a man of the people. Paul was siding with Taylor.

[Stugatz]

Yeah, but he did it with a smirk. I didn't. I wasn't buying Paul.

[Chris Cody]

Really?

[Jessica]

Huh.

[Stugatz]

He was being a little condescending.

[Mike Ryan]

Why is Taylor on this show before any of our actual experts?

[Stugatz]

You don't get me on Fine Bomb would be pretty useless, I have to admit.

[Chris Cody]

Why would you be on Fine Bomb, Chris? What would you.

[Jessica]

I would.

[Stugatz]

That's what I'm telling Dan.

[Lucy]

There's a kind of self awareness from Chris.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm willing to go.

[Stugatz]

I'm willing to go.

[Jessica]

The only people are Loose and Jesse. I mean, that's it.

[Lucy]

I think it's a social or makeup artist.

[Jessica]

I think Loose and Jesse. Football is getting to me. Man, I'm tired.

[Mike Ryan]

You just called Jessica Jessie Lucy Loose.

[Jessica]

I called Lucy Loose.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

I like that, actually.

[Jessica]

Loose Lucy. Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't like Loose Lucy.

[Jessica]

No, that's a good song. You know the song I'm talking about?

[Dan Le Batard]

I know it's a good song, but there are connotations with that nickname that I don't necessarily love.

[Lucy]

Loose Lucy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Super bowl licks.

[Jeremy]

[Chris Cody]

Don LeBatard we didn't get to your guys against the spread.

[Jessica]

You're right, you're right, you're right, dude.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't have it against the spread because I wasn't prepared for this segment.

[Chris Cody]

You need an Ian in your life.

[Mike Ryan]

You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting. Stugots.

[Chris Cody]

Defense wins championships, baby. That's show business. This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Mike Ryan]

Stugat. It can happen. I understand. He it's been a long, a long season. His body hurts. He's gotten in here very early for God bless football on Monday. And sometimes we run him so hard out of the rodeo gate after a Sunday where he's traveled after lacrosse that he runs from that studio into this studio. By the time we get to right about here, yeah, he's flat delirious. And so it becomes my man. It becomes even lazier, casual, chummery with loose and Jesse. And I'm gonna just try to connect. But this is the worst version of me. I'm really tired. It's the holidays. I've been crawling toward these next two weeks.

[Jessica]

How do we get Chris Cody on the fine Bam show?

[Stugatz]

I'm in.

[Jessica]

This should be our mission. I mean, for real.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, let's both of these. Let's get Texas. We need a credential. Tell me how I put pressure on Texas. Get me some names, get me some information. I want our audience to just explained to Texas that we're a legitimate media operation that is covering college football. And then we'll put Chris Cody on Feinbomb to prove it.

[Chris Cody]

But most media companies don't threaten the entities to get access that might be our problem.

[Lucy]

Lucy, if you change your mind, you want to go to the Notre Dame game? I'm pretty sure I could get you a credential that way, but I did. I. My tickets are accounted for. I'm sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Not on game time, though. Game 10. CO. Luce. You want to get there.

[Lucy]

Secondary market. The tickets are. Are so expensive for that game. It's going to be 20 degrees. People are going to spend thousands of dollars to sit there and snow. And I'm worried about the toll road. Whiteout conditions on the toll road.

[Jessica]

I'm worried about your dad. Are you going as a family? Like, what are you doing?

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Jessica, this is the price of fandom. That the. The television experience is better than the stadium experience in winter football weather. It's a. I. Who the hell wants to be in?

[Lucy]

I'm excited. I gotta do winter coat.

[Chris Cody]

It's gonna be great. You found one.

[Lucy]

I did find one.

[Chris Cody]

Where? Burlington.

[Lucy]

I'll show. I'll do a fit check on Friday. I'll send you. Send you a video.

[Chris Cody]

Lucy, should we plan for, like, what if Saturday doesn't happen? Like, we have Monday bowl games, like the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Is that fine? The famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

[Dan Le Batard]

I cannot go to Myrtle Beach.

[Chris Cody]

How about the Hawaii?

[Lucy]

Oh, Northern Illinois is playing in the Potato bowl revenge game for me.

[Dan Le Batard]

They do the French fry dump. Yeah.

[Jessica]

Oh, wow.

[Chris Cody]

Did you guys see? The Pop Tart trophy is a working toaster this year. That's crazy.

[Jessica]

That's awesome.

[Chris Cody]

The Pop Tart bowl trophy might be the best trophy in all of sports.

[Lucy]

They hired, like, GE engineers to make it an actual toaster. It's ridiculous. This is the kind of energy we need from bowl sponsors.

[Chris Cody]

And they ripped it out of, like, an actual, like, you know, Pop Tart, like, whatever, aluminum casing. Also, these people get it. The Pop Tart people get it.

[Lucy]

Yes, they get it.

[Mike Ryan]

Do they get it more than the mayonnaise bowl people?

[Stugatz]

No, not for me.

[Jessica]

I think so.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think it's equally.

[Lucy]

Equally good. It.

[Dan Le Batard]

But Pop Tart keeps, like, upping the price every year because last it started off just, oh, cool. Pop Tart bowl. Hell, yeah. Then it was, okay, you can eat the mascot. There's a live mascot.

[Stugatz]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Then it was like, oh, my God, we're going to make the trophy into a toaster. I don't want to look ahead, but what are they going to do next year?

[Lucy]

Oh, an actual resurrection of a dead body.

[Mike Ryan]

You guys have not made enough fun of the idea that Mike Ryan's university of Miami led in the voting at Heisman by homer. Dan Levitard just finished a football season of great acclaim where we can argue it was the best offense in UM history and he was the best statistical quarterback in UM history. And it ends with a fart noise at a bowl for Pop Tarts.

[Chris Cody]

No, that's a great bowl, Dan. It's one of the most prestigious bowls. I'd say that, like, outside of the playoff, that's probably like the fifth bowl, right?

[Jessica]

I'd rather, I'd rather win that bowl than lose in the first round of the playoffs.

[Chris Cody]

That's a great.

[Jessica]

Yes.

[Chris Cody]

You get that trophy.

[Stugatz]

That's ridiculous.

[Chris Cody]

Do you keep that? You keep that trophy, right? Yeah, it's not like that.

[Lucy]

So, Dan, there's like, premier bowls that the conferences try to get, like, their best teams into, and the Pop Tart bowl is one of the ACC tying in premier bowls.

[Stugatz]

So still one of the craziest things Dugouts has ever said.

[Lucy]

And you're playing a team, Iowa State, that was also like, like one game away from making the playoff. These are two, like, playoff bubble teams. It should be a great game. If everyone decides to play, which it sounds like Cam Ward is playing. They keep asking and he's like, I already said yes, I'm playing.

[Stugatz]

I saw Restrepo's thinking about it. He has to talk to his representatives.

[Chris Cody]

What do you have to think about your name? Your days of playing football are numbered. Like, play all the football you can.

[Stugatz]

No, he's projected to be like a.

[Chris Cody]

Fourth or fifth round Craig punt returner.

[Lucy]

Whoa.

[Chris Cody]

Can I, can I say.

[Jessica]

Is that his name?

[Chris Cody]

Can I, Can I say what?

[Mike Ryan]

Wait a minute.

[Chris Cody]

Listen, can I just say real quick before one, Happy birthday, Dan. We're just going to move on.

[Lucy]

Happy birthday.

[Mike Ryan]

Woo.

[Chris Cody]

You know what? Um, and, um, fans gripes should be always having to play a Camping World stadium for their bowl games. What a horrific stadium. I love Orlando and God bless them for trying to make that stadium nice. But that stadium, Camping World Stadium, what a drag if you have to play a bowl game there. And every single year, um, finds himself at a bowl game there. It's always a different one, but it's always a bowl game at Camping World Stadium somehow.

[Mike Ryan]

So over the years, Billy has gotten really good at a number of different things.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

And one of, one of them is rolling a grenade out here and then running away from it. Okay. And just because we're not in the local hour anymore, I will not have you just roll out here. Restrepo punt returner. And then run into the shadows.

[Chris Cody]

Happy birthday.

[Stugatz]

With days are numbered.

[Mike Ryan]

With distracting talk. When you just said of the University of Miami's most prolific receiver ever, you've put him in the Barrios, the Braxton Bar, Berrios cash.

[Chris Cody]

That.

[Mike Ryan]

That's not fair of possession receiver in the NFL. That's not big enough to play in the league. That's not physically big enough to play in the NFL. That's what you're. That's what you're doing to him. You're. You're saying he's only Braxton Barrios. He will be no better than that. The most prolific receiver in the history of the University of Miami. That's what you're saying.

[Chris Cody]

I didn't say any of that. I said happy birthday. And then I said, why do they have to play at the Camping World Stadium?

[Lucy]

No, you're right that it does seem like they play there a lot. But last year they did play actually somewhere else. They played at the Pinstripe Bowl. That was the game they lost to Roc. Rutgers. So that one wasn't in Orlando.

[Stugatz]

But it does feel. Billy's so right that they all feel like they're at that stadium.

[Chris Cody]

It does. Well. Oh, okay. I thought we were going to talk about the other thing. Never mind. It does.

[Jessica]

What happened there?

[Chris Cody]

Braxton Harris Vibes, right. No.

[Lucy]

Did you vote for him for the Heisman?

[Stugatz]

We're strapped out then. Is that what you had him on your ballot?

[Chris Cody]

Is that fourth, fifth?

[Mike Ryan]

They only vote for three. There's no fourth vote.

[Jessica]

What if you put him in there?

[Mike Ryan]

I was struggling. Do I get Travis Hunter there at third? Or do I put Restrepo in there? Do I. Do I give it to one of the Hispanic names at the University of Miami instead?

[Jessica]

But Billy is right. That guy's not going to be a great receiver in the NFL. There's no way.

[Stugatz]

I mean, how can you know that Puka Nakul was like what, a fifth round pick? Fourth round pick?

[Jessica]

I mean, because I know it's.

[Mike Ryan]

I.

[Stugatz]

Okay.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know how sometimes to measure quick. I think we all know what size in the NFL looks like and that doesn't look like CD Lamb. I understand. If we're going to do this.

[Jessica]

Devonte Adams, if we're going to do.

[Mike Ryan]

This based on appearances, then Restrepo probably would have never topped Michael Irvin and Andre Johnson and all the other number one picks the University of Miami has had at wide receiver who also played with great quarterback.

[Chris Cody]

Well, I mean, that's the thing though is you can credit it to Cam Ward. Partially. Right. And also, like, if you make the NFL, like, don't let Billy Gil bring you down. Why would you listen to anything I say? Like Braxton Barrios is a great line.

[Mike Ryan]

Because College football insider on Fein Bomb along with Lucy and Jessica. But not Chris Cody. Chris Cody could not be on Fein Bomb. That would be ridiculous.

[Lucy]

What would you talk about?

[Stugatz]

In my lane, we're going to find one. You talk about this low report, stadium food or something.

[Mike Ryan]

You know.

[Stugatz]

You know, I'll think of something.

[Jessica]

He's not going to have you on for that, though.

[Chris Cody]

Here's the thing.

[Stugatz]

Hello, this is Chris Cody from the Dan Le Show. He.

[Chris Cody]

That's what he did.

[Stugatz]

He was a little dismissive, by the way, in introducing Taylor.

[Lucy]

He wants to talk about the walking tacos at the University of Texas Stadium.

[Chris Cody]

Huh?

[Stugatz]

He comes to us from inside Carolina and also does some stuff for the Leardard Show.

[Mike Ryan]

Dismissive of us in general. What we're fading media into.

[Lucy]

Kind of sounds like Skipper.

[Jessica]

It was.

[Stugatz]

I do believe he'd be a great entity for us.

[Mike Ryan]

Petered out there because I. You heard me say fading media entity because I was taking it back to trying to feud with Texas over Lucy's dead body.

[Stugatz]

Let's call it maybe live on Air Texas. That'll work.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, let's do that. I want to talk. No, no, no, no.

[Chris Cody]

Do not.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to talk about what happened. Stugott. Please do with Aaron. Judges dropped baseball in the World Series in a second because I think it's fun. But can I get an appraisal from the room as Jeremy comes in, possibly with a Frosty. A Scott Frosty. The. The UCF man song.

[Jessica]

Ken, Is that the title?

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know. We'll find out together.

[Chris Cody]

Rolls right off the tongue.

[Mike Ryan]

Can I get up? Can I get an appraisal from you guys on. Do you believe it will get any better for Deion Sanders than where it is right now, this minute? Do you believe that what he has built in two years which gets two players. You know, he gets two players. Two very unique players, family to him. He gets them. Both of them could have been in the Heisman Trophy room and they made Colorado a team that only lost three times. And that was two years ago, the worst program in Division 1A for several years now.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

So that right now this is agreed. A monster success. Two years of improvement. Correct.

[Jessica]

No doubt.

[Mike Ryan]

And so now what, though? Because how much better does it get from here once you lose those two players? Travis Hunter. I did not see all of the players that were playing the league. But the reason that he was able to play wide receiver and cornerback is because I saw no player while playing football who was consistently jumping higher, like for his size. I saw no one grabbing the football because he was jumping higher than all the other athletes on the field, more than Travis Hunter, even though he didn't look like he was bigger than anybody.

[Jessica]

But if you're asking will it get better for Deion at Colorado, I'm not certain in life. Of course it will. He's about to see his son be drafted in the first round.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm not saying, I'm not saying life. I'm just asking you guys, what's the appraisal now of Colorado didn't make the playoffs, but a team that we all thought was good and interesting and two years of massive improvement, unquestionably massive improvement that we all assign to two players who are family and are top five picks.

[Lucy]

Yeah, I mean, I think that having a player that you coach, recruit and coach and then transfers with you win the Heisman is a just a tremendously huge accomplishment as a head coach. And then having your son who will probably be a first round draft pick in the NFL, like, yeah, I don't know how it gets better than two great players like that. One wins the Heisman, the other is like your actual son. Not only is it going to be difficult to replace that level of production, but also the family dynamic, like these are. These are his family. So yeah, I mean, great season. Obviously disappointing. They didn't end up making the Big 12 championship game. They were close, but huge improvement from last year and like two really great success stories.

[Jessica]

But I think this is what Dan is asking. You should be able to build off of what he just did over the first two seasons, right? Like, or is this the pinnacle for Deon Sanders?

[Mike Ryan]

The thing that I would simply, I would just simply alert everyone to the story in our myths, lest we underestimate it because Stugac is saying two great stories. No, three great stories.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Deion Sanders was laughed at when he mentioned I should be able to coach an NFL team. I don't need to interview. You should respect that. I know enough about football. I should coach NFL. Nope. You're going to have to go historically black colleges, Deion, someone like you, a Hall of Famer, usually doesn't have to go that route on how it is that he's going to work his way up the system. But historically black colleges is where you're going to have to start. Then you're going to parlay that into Colorado. And I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know the history of this trophy well enough to know whether a player who has come from a historically black college like Travis Hunter has ever made it this far in the business of what is marketing and football to get to best player in the land led by someone who's a father figure. God damn. That's a success story. Like, stand back and marvel at what just happened. You were big feeding media frenzy at the beginning. Black excellence gonna make it a culture war. Two years in, he got his family to the league. Top five picks from a historically black college earned all of it.

[Jessica]

But you are left to wonder, were those the reasons Dion went to Colorado so we can get his two kids, those two kids as top five picks in the NFL. Jeff, like, what does he do now? I think that's a fair question to ask. And if he does nothing else, that's fine.

[Mike Ryan]

But to God. So as watching one of the best businessmen in sports that I have ever seen climbed to the top of this business in two years, to the Heisman room when I've lived long enough to see Randy Moss is walking with a cane in cancer. And it was a big controversy when he showed up to the Heisman room with sunglasses. It wasn't received quite as nice as Travis Hunter putting on a smile when Randy Moss was trying to attack that sacred room with all of the style and swagger that comes now with what Dion brings to Black excellence in 2024. Loud in your face. And I'm gonna overrun the Heisman room and football. And I tell you I'm great and I'm going to show you I'm great. And who's going to deny I'm great? Now, the reason I asked the question is because I fear winning is so hard that it will be hard to get another two top five picks who can help you grow it that fast in two more years. And he should be looking to parlay this opportunity in whatever is the most explosive opportunity of Dallas Cowboys or wherever he can get into the maximum marketing game up. No, I succeeded at the college game. Correct. You guys saw how hard this was, right? It doesn't go through black colleges to get here this fast. I'm in the commercials and I got two of my boys because he considers Travis Hunter family. I got him into the like, one, one of them's in the big room and the other is throwing the football out in a frozen street with neighbors and getting Giants fans excited because they don't have a quarterback because Malik neighbors. Yes. Thank you. Cuz. Cuz what's his name because devito is out with a concussion now and that's where the Giants season it.

[Chris Cody]

Because they're going look good though.

[Mike Ryan]

They're going to Thanksgiving their third quarterback.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Give me another Christmas song.

[Jessica]

Thank you.

[Mike Ryan]

Gus Malzon has just been fired. Scott Frost gonna be your coach now. You are going for Big 12 titles. The Knights looking for their old approach. Everybody knows Nebraska was a real show. Oh, that offense was not right. Ucf. It was not long ago undefeated seasons were inside. Did you know the trend Transfers are on their way. All right.

[Jessica]

Beautiful.

[Mike Ryan]

All right, let's stop.

[Jessica]

I mean, Frosty would have been better, but it's beautiful.

[Lucy]

Dan, that was good.

[Jessica]

Not frosty, though.

[Mike Ryan]

Quarterback will soon arrive to see if Scott Frost really knows how to thrive. The only reason reason that I tried to get out of that it was not to bully poor Jeremy.

[Jessica]

It started with Gus Malzahn.

[Mike Ryan]

Jeremy is doing a vulnerable thing. It is hard. The reason I tried to get out of there quickly is because he whimpered at the start of that song and only my headset. Did my best. And so I was trying to help Jeremy there because he did the most vulnerable thing, which is I'm going to throw myself into song and the expectation of song being good. Oh, it's not as good as I wanted it to be. I did my best.

[Stugatz]

That's right. Do a better one.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Go do a better one.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Stugatz]

All right.

[Jeremy]

[Stugatz]

To Geico and save on your car insurance?

[Jessica]

It's like going to work on Thursday.

[Stugatz]

Morning and thinking to yourself, just one.

[Jessica]

More day until Friday. But then somebody walks into the elevator.

[Stugatz]

And says, happy Friday. Then you check your phone quickly and discover today is actually Friday.

[Jessica]

So yes.

[Stugatz]

Happy Fri. Yay, random stranger in the elevator.

[Jessica]

Happy Friday indeed. Yep, switching and saving with Geico feels just like that. Get more with Geico.
