Highlights include spirited debates on the NFL’s “tush push,” Lionel Messi’s continued South Florida magic, a surprisingly passionate kitchen appliance ranking, and Amin’s always-must-hear “Weekend Observations,” which reaches new absurd heights thanks to a running Cal Raleigh bit. Expect tangents about language, Miami pride, parenting safety debates, and an extended exchange on the legacy of the humble microwave.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ray Hudson Call of the Day and Messi’s Miami Magic

• Musical Antics and Hudson’s Legendary Calls

    “In three years, I still have not gotten used to saying Inter Miami. Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami. It's a mind blower and always will be.”

  • Discussion of Messi’s new contract, the World Cup buzz, and Miami Freedom Park optimism.

2. Promoting Side Shows & Comic Beef

• The Greg Cody Show and Brad Williams Teaser

  • Cody discusses his podcast guest, Brad Williams, teasing stories involving Spinal Tap and Elton John, and his “beef” with Dan’s height jokes (08:20–09:20).
  • An amusing meta-podcast debate ensues: Which show should you listen to first to get the “full story”? (09:23–09:33)
  • Miscellaneous plugs for hockey shows, Zaslow Show 2.0, and Canes Insight.

• Language Tangent: “Beck and Call”

  • Brad Williams’s silly linguistic query leads to an extended, playful exchange about whether one can be at someone’s “beck” (10:09–11:11).
  • Dan (10:45):

    “It's B-E-C-K-O-N. Call. It's not beck and call.”

3. NFL Recap: The ‘Tush Push’ & the Rams/Eagles

• Deep Dive: Philadelphia’s Unstoppable Short-Yardage Play
  • Dan and the crew discuss why the Rams impressed in defeat, focusing on the pivotal “Tush Push” play that makes the Eagles invincible on short yardage (15:42–18:09).
  • Dan (16:45):

    “There are so few games and they mean so much each game...there's not a team that impressed me in losing more than the Rams did yesterday.”

  • Debate over whether the “Tush Push” should be legal, with Greg Cody taking the “it’s cheating” stance and Dan countering that it’s simply a physical advantage (18:50–19:45).

    • Concerns about baby safety at high speed vs. the design of running strollers.
    • Dan (21:08):

      “It's a danger to babies everywhere. … Baby skulls are small or soft. We've got to be more careful.”

    • Stugotz throws shade:

      “F them. Shouldn't be running with a baby.” [21:25]

  • Brief detours into street jogging risk, stroller specs, and the soft “outraged” community.

5. Weekend Observations with Amin Elhassan

• Return of One of the Show’s Best Bits (24:30–31:48)
  • Dan hustles the crew to stop wasting Amin’s “valuable time.”
  • Amin riffs on recent NFL and college exploits, including:
    • Eagles’ “block field goal” play and Jordan Davis’s insane speed.
    • Travis Kelce and Andy Reid’s sideline tiff as “preemptive breakup theater.”
    • Georgia Tech and Miami “collision course” and needling Miami’s frequent failures to kneel (“I just hope that you guys have an opportunity to kneel to win the game.” — Amin [26:28])
  • Cal Raleigh Bit:
    • Amin runs a surreal, escalating series of hypotheticals about being punched in the throat by Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh, blending snitching, police lineups, and not knowing who Raleigh is:

      “If Cal Raleigh came up to me and punched me in the throat and the cop showed up and asked me who punched me in the throat? I would say nothing because I got punched in the throat. I can't breathe.” [29:05] “When asked by the cops who punched me in the throat and shown a lineup of all possible culprits, I would say I don't know because I have no idea who Cal Raleigh is.” [29:59]

  • Weekend Observations cap off with air fryers, kitchen appliance patriotism, and snark on sports, H Vac, and even Caitlin Clark’s $200 WNBA fine.

6. Kitchen Appliance Ranking: A Passionate, Nostalgic Debate

• Is the Microwave Obsolete?

  • Extended, good-natured debate on whether the air fryer has overtaken the microwave as the “hall of fame” kitchen tool (34:38–39:28):
    • Defenders tout the microwave’s role in reheating spaghetti and convenience foods; skeptics call it dated except for “popcorn.”
    • Amin (37:41):

      “That microwave is watching the game right now... No, you wouldn’t. You would have been lost out here in today’s game with these athletes, these air fryers coming in.”

    • Dan (39:12):

      “The microwave is from the 50s. I would have thought it's more recent than that.”

    • Crew marvels at early microwave design and cost, riffing on the idea that the inventor, Percy Spencer, must surely have developed cancer (40:05–40:18).

• Mock Rankings & Kitchen Essentials

  • Stugotz itemizes kitchen essentials, leading to an inventory of everyone’s “junk drawer” and its mysterious array of rubber bands, batteries, and headphones (37:18–37:25).
  • Chris Cody (36:10):

    “Are you guys alleging the toaster is now obsolete?”

7. Quick Hits & Miscellanea

• Tyler Herro’s Injury and Timing
  • Skepticism over why Herro’s Heat injury/surgery news was delayed — was it strategic, medical, or both? (41:22–42:37)
• Bill Belichick’s Losses & Sideline Smooch
  • Amin notes Belichick “doesn’t get the low-hanging fruit joke anymore...come back when you mean something,” while the group jokes about a sideline PDA (42:37–43:36).
• Movie Review Non-Review
  • Stugotz vaguely describes a forgettable Kevin James action-comedy where James is mistaken for an assassin (44:03).

Final Thoughts

This episode exemplifies the Le Batard Show’s strengths: rooted in sports but unafraid to veer into meta-comedy, wordplay, and personal banter. The “Weekend Observations,” increasingly legendary each week, draw Amin Elhassan into improvisational absurdity. Even the appliance debate becomes an allegory for sports “generational change.”
For listeners who crave both sports insight and offbeat camaraderie, Hour 2 delivers.

[B]

This is what Dan Morning.

[C]

Every day until the World cup. We're gonna play Ray Hudson. Sounds a good day. The reason I was mentioning Greg Cody is because he wanted to talk about Messi. Is the Ray Hudson call of the day. Does it involve Messi or does it involve somebody else? Let's hear it. Messi.

[B]

Messi. Are you kidding me? Work of art.

[C]

This man is absolutely manline to pure.

[D]

Magic that belongs in a different galaxy altogether.

[C]

Look at Smiling Greg Cody. The Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody. Do you talk about Messi this week? Because I know you always want to talk about Messi and he was great again.

[D]

Actually, we did not, but I, I wish we had because he just never ceases to amaze Messi. You know, he. First of all, he resigns, which would have been huge news down here, except it was fully expected. But still he resigns for at least next season. World cup season still huge news. Miami Freedom park season, still, it's.

[C]

It is still surreal to see him in a uniform, playing in our city.

[D]

It's.

[C]

It's not normal to me yet.

[D]

No. In three years, I still have not gotten used to saying Inter Miami. Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami. It's a mind blower and always will be. And then this guy, they played D.C. united, which is not a good side. I mean, I thought Miami would have no problem with that game, but they were behind one nothing and Messi scores two goals. I was at the, um, game, so I did not see them live, only on replay. But this guy just never ceases to. He's 38 years old and he. Yeah, I'm not going to say he's still in his prime, he isn't.

[B]

Go on.

[D]

But he's fading in a way that LeBron James is. He's still so good that even if he's not in his prime, he's still a marvel, a physical marvel.

[C]

What do people need to know about the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody, which we have not promoted enough today? What is on there? What is exciting? Why should people find the Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody?

[D]

Today we have on Brad Williams, the official comic, official standup comedian.

[F]

He actually has beef with Dan right now. He doesn't like how Dan's just using. Any time Dan wants to reference anything small, he just says Brad Williams. And Brad's noticed.

[D]

Yeah. Which is funny. It's a funny quote. You got to go to it just for that. But he talks about being in the new Spinal Taps.

[B]

Tell us who. He says.

[D]

No, that way you wouldn't go to the podcast. What am I going to. I give you the men.

[C]

I feel like Zaz isn't going to go either way.

[D]

I give you the menu. I don't feed you the dinner. I mean, you got to go there to get it. He talks about being in Spinal Tap. Talks about all kinds of great Elton.

[F]

John stories he shot.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

With them.

[D]

Tells a crazy story about a massage incident. I. I will invite you to go to the podcast.

[E]

Did you know that he played hockey?

[F]

I've seen that photo of Brad Williams and yeah.

[C]

What do you mean? When he.

[F]

When he was a little kid.

[D]

What do you mean when he was little?

[F]

That was Dan.

[E]

Brad, we talked about on the hockey show.

[B]

You can listen to that interview.

[F]

Oh, wow.

[D]

Oh, look at this.

[F]

Teases.

[D]

Plumbing in on my tease.

[A]

Well, should I listen to the hockey show first? Greg show first to get the full context of the story?

[E]

Well, you listen to Greg first, because that was the most recent thing.

[C]

And then you can come on over.

[B]

To the hockey show.

[A]

Oh, there you go.

[B]

Don't forget to check out Zaslow Show 2.0 player.

[A]

Well, hold on. Is Brad on there? Is there any Brad stories on there?

[B]

On mine? Yeah, whenever I want.

[E]

Also, Kane's insight gonna be live.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

A media company that I. I don't know if anyone wants to hear from me that listens to this show. On the Miami Hurricanes, it seems as though the topics dry up a little bit when we're winning. But if you'd like to hear.

[C]

We haven't talked enough about Miami.

[E]

Honestly, we can do. Let's wrap up the show.

[C]

You must only talk about Ruben Bain.

[A]

I don't have a show, so nothing to promote.

[E]

Also speaking of Miami, because Miami, you.

[B]

Can listen to that every Friday.

[C]

Brad Williams sent me a text the other day asking has. When. When people say that someone is at your beck and call, are they ever at just your beck? I don't even know what it is to be at your beck. I don't. When. When people say the phrase that someone is at your beck and call. What is beck? What is the.

[D]

That's not the root word of beckon. Beckon means to summon.

[C]

No, no, but it's.

[E]

I don't believe it's beck and call. It's beck and call, right?

[D]

B, C. Is that what you're saying?

[C]

I thought it was beck and call. I didn't think it was beck and call.

[D]

Yes, it is.

[C]

It's beckon. B, E, C, K, O, N. Call. It's not beck and call.

[B]

It beck and call. But beck is a shortened form of bec. Beckon.

[C]

Okay, didn't know that.

[E]

How about Greg Cody?

[C]

Wasn't aware of that. But you would not be at someone's beckon. Right? Someone. You never hear that. It's always. It's a beck and call. I thought beck and call was redundant. I thought to call someone is to beckon them. I thought those two words mean the same thing.

[D]

You could argue it's redundant. But beckon means make a gesture with the hand, arm or head to encourage someone to come nearer or follow.

[F]

I am beckoning you.

[C]

Come on in. I'm welcoming.

[D]

Yes, beckon. I beckon you.

[E]

Don't do that to a vampire. Because they can stand outside and they're only allowed to come inside if you invite them.

[A]

Is that true?

[E]

But they'll try to track like cops.

[A]

They have to tell you if you say, are you a cop? Vampires are the same.

[B]

Vampires are like cops.

[A]

You have to invite them in to come suck your blood.

[E]

And if they have a warrant, this.

[A]

No vampires or cops.

[E]

They have to be invited.

[B]

Like cops.

[E]

This was covered in the classic film Lost Boys and then later in Sinners.

[D]

Right. Canes fans looking for a better game from Carson Beckham.

[A]

Good call.

[D]

Thank you.

[E]

Who fed you that?

[C]

Look how proud he is. He's prouder of the bad jokes than he is of the good ones.

[F]

Feel like you can hear in the way he talks when he's been fed.

[D]

Is that right? First of all, I was not fed a joke. I don't want to praise or blame anyone for that. I'll take it all on my own shoulders.

[C]

Don LeBatard, you don't remember the idea.

[F]

I was probably like that kind of thing.

[C]

Something.

[D]

Okay. No, the home run call was that kind of swing. That kind of thing.

[E]

Stugats. Oh, it's a good call.

[D]

Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know all that jazz, you know you don't got to do that.

[E]

Oh, that would be a great call.

[D]

Swing. That kind of thing.

[B]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[C]

Let's talk about the Rams for a second because they really impressed me in defeat. And I know that the way that we do these things is if the Colts don't get an offsides call at the end of the game against Denver, we would talk about them differently at 2:1 than we do at 3:0 because they would have lost the game. And generally speaking, in that sport, there are so few, few games and they mean so much each game that when a team loses, we become bottom line about our assessments of them. But there's not a team that impressed me in losing more than the Rams did yesterday. And Dominique Foxworth is saying on his podcast that the Rams are the best team in the nfc and he will get no argument from from me because what they did to get ahead of Philadelphia, like I said, the biggest play in that game. I understand that people look at the block field goal at the end, but before that, the Rams could have ended the game by simply converting a fourth and one. And it's just Philadelphia never gets stopped on that. And we underestimate how bad most quarterbacks are at that. Jalen hurts, obviously very strong in the lower body. Same with Ruben Bane. Mike's beloved Ruben Bane is ridiculous how strong and explosive he is in the lower body. But I saw last week Caleb Williams did the quarterback sneak very poorly. Fourth and short is still a situation that scares a bunch of offenses. And what you hear in Philadelphia when they know the Tush Push is coming. This is such a unique and interesting thing. What is happening around the Tush Push? A fan base that has won 19 of 20 games and has an unstoppable play is laughing as the nation gets bored with 12% of your plays. Last week Were the Tush Push not this week, but last week. And that's obviously too much. But when they get the solution in these circumstances is always to tell the team, well, if you don't like our play, then don't allow us to get into third and fourth and short. But they have a play that is annoying, is not fun to watch. And was the difference in that game yesterday because the Rams had fourth and one and got blown up and. And the Eagles never lose yardage on short yardage situations. It happens to every other team in the league, but it never happens to Philadelphia. And their whole game plan is to make sure to get into third and fourth and short situation.

[B]

When they have third and long and the ball is spotted just short of the marker, the crowd cheers. They like it. They like knowing we're going to come out.

[C]

This is what's coming for the bullshit.

[B]

That makes everybody mad and it's going to make us really happy.

[C]

But how cool is that to have as a fan base that you know that your team in football specifically, where you have to be stronger than everybody, that your team has a play that everyone else hates. And also it's something that can't be stopped because it's just so physical. That stadium has something that they love that everyone else in the world hates.

[D]

Yeah, Eagles fans should be embarrassed by the Tush push. They really should. It's a play that should have been made illegal. Every time I see it, I think, really, it's cheating. It's cheating. I don't care who does it.

[C]

It's not why. It's not why I watch football. I'd watch rugby. If I wanted to see that, I'd watch rugby. Miami did a lot of that.

[B]

Florida.

[C]

And I don't love it, but I love it slightly more when it's my school.

[B]

But why is it cheating? I don't like it either. But why is it cheating?

[D]

Because you're pushing somebody. Let them do it on their own. Let their blockers block for them and let them run. Don't get behind them and push them over the line.

[A]

Football is notoriously unphysical.

[D]

I think it's literally cheating.

[F]

A lot of pushing in football, though.

[D]

You'D argue not in that way.

[F]

They're constantly pushing each other.

[D]

Not in. Not in that way.

[A]

Well, what about like that, um, play where then it ended up not being called touchdown. That there was still movement and then they said dead ball, that that was.

[D]

A patently bad call.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

But I watched the difference between five.

[A]

Times the pushing there and pushing for.

[B]

One yard why do you have to watch five times? You couldn't tell after the first.

[D]

I could. And I enjoyed the. The malfeasance of it so much. I had to keep watching it.

[E]

The Marty Brown one was weird because it wasn't like the other plays in the game where they would get dragged by. He just never stopped moving. He was running into his own guys. Was never touched by a Florida guy and squirted out.

[C]

It was weird. Can I play for you guys something here? I want to get your thoughts on this. This. I don't know what the context is on this, how fast this person is moving, but whenever I see this anywhere in South Florida, people running with a baby stroller and a baby in it, it's. It's something I look at and say that seems like it could go wrong in a lot of different ways. And somebody has set a new baby stroller mile world record by running a mile a 4.4-26-2.

[F]

And that's not a doll. Like if there's a doll in there. I am fine with all of this and I don't want to be the guy that's like. I don't like offended by. I don't either, but it makes me nervous.

[D]

Yeah, I don't like it.

[F]

There's a man running at a very high rate of speed with a baby. And I know that it's one of those strollers. It's made for this running. So like I. I know it's gonna probably end up safe, but I.

[B]

It.

[F]

I don't like this.

[E]

Yeah, I was gonna say it doesn't matter that it's a three wheeler instead of a four.

[F]

Well, I think it's designed to be like run with. But still, it's just this. I didn't like it. That's what I thought about this.

[C]

I saw it.

[F]

I said I don't like it.

[C]

It's a danger to babies everywhere. We can agree that running that fast in a stroller with a baby seems. And baby skulls are small or soft. We've got to be more careful with these things. But we do sound like a bunch of people that are going to outrage the baby stroller running community with our softness in general.

[A]

On the record f them shouldn't be running with a baby fu. Baby runners running on a track. But it four miles or a mile in four minutes. What does that end up being? That they're running like 18 miles an hour or something?

[E]

It's ridiculous.

[A]

Way too fast to be driving with a baby.

[D]

Yeah, it should be. Again, the law in My opinion.

[F]

And they're. And I don't. Once again.

[A]

Right.

[F]

Like maybe you put some sort of protection on the baby just in case that there is some sort of. Because the baby wasn't wearing like a helmet. There was. I don't know, like it just. More steps should have been taken for safety.

[D]

There's an unnamed woman in my neighborhood who jogs. Jogs. Pushing a stroller.

[B]

What's her name?

[D]

Yeah. I'll tell you off the air.

[F]

Which is actually more dangerous because there's cars around her where this guy was clearly on a safe track with no cars around.

[D]

Well, she is on a sidewalk. But nevertheless. And she's not running at the speed that guy was.

[A]

15 miles per hour is what it ends up being. That's a speeding ticket in a school zone.

[D]

Absolutely. And she's doing a steady jog with the stroller in front of her. And you know what if she hits a crack in the sidewalk, all of a sudden they both go, you know, head over tea kettle or whatever. Whatever the hell that expression.

[E]

For frame of reference. How many miles per hour was this runner?

[A]

15 roughly.

[E]

So Jordan Davis was clocked at 18.59 miles per hour. It's the fastest speed a 300 pounder has ever reached as a ball carrier since they started measuring these things in 2017 per next gen stats.

[A]

It's also not impressive to be running with strollers that are designed for that ball bearings. That thing just glides. It's not a physical accomplishment. Pushing a stroller, you don't have to do anything. You probably push it with one finger and that thing would go downhill like that ridiculum.

[C]

Can you guys look up for me, please? Whether in that competition it actually has to be a baby and can't be a doll that weighs the same amount as a baby. And Greg, what is the head over tea kettle is not the expression.

[D]

What were you going for something over tea kettle.

[C]

Okay, thank you.

[F]

Why are you looking?

[C]

Okay, I'll look it up instead of you. Okay, very good. Thank you for putting the work on me.

[D]

I'll look it up.

[C]

Before we get to weekend observations with Amino Hassan, Chris, Cody, can you tell me what we're doing with weekend observations next week to sexy it up a little bit?

[F]

We're doing the same thing we did last year which is our weekend observations predictions pool. If you would like to win a trip for two to come hang out with us in studio and be at our next Miller Light watch party, which I believe is going to be at a Flanagan's, it's going to be in October.

[B]

Greg.

[E]

According to Merriam Webster, it's ass over tea kettle.

[C]

What are you celebrating?

[A]

It's a family show. He's not going to say that.

[D]

What did I say?

[C]

Rare head over.

[D]

Oh, okay. Well, I had the wrong part of the body. I had the wrong end of the donkey. Other than that, the, the theory was the same.

[C]

Let's do weekend observations now that Amin is here and quit wasting a means valuable time, please.

[B]

It is time for, I mean to.

[C]

Share his game notes.

[B]

No one in the media will tell.

[C]

You what happened better than my boy. I mean.

[B]

Weekend observations is presented by Miller Lite Dan. It felt like it was standard procedure. It felt like it was business as usual. You line up, you hike the ball, you kick the ball. What's so hard about that? But yesterday, just like that. Make no mistake, blocking field goals is back. Yes. Jordan Davis can scoot.

[C]

It's crazy.

[B]

He followed the block field goal with a 61 yard touchdown return. I heard Mike just mention it. Clocked in at almost 19 miles an hour. I hope they had the oxygen tank ready for him. Travis Kelsey and Andy Reid getting into a tiff on the sidelines. I know this playbook all too well. This is how you preempt the eventual breakup.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Yeah, you just plant little arguments here and there. They weren't really wasn't a necessary argument. You're winning the game. But like, ah, let's do it. Let's get everyone going a little bit just so that when it happens, we're like, oh, yeah, I remember when they fought on the sideline against the Giants in week three.

[E]

Historically, it's an indicator for them making the Super Bowl.

[B]

Maybe not this time. Georgia Tech, Miami ACC title game, collision course.

[C]

Mike says he's not worried. Mike said, Sorry. I mean, Mike says he's not worried about that one. He says he's not worried and he should be.

[B]

No, he hasn't been worried the last two years.

[E]

It's not at Bobby Dodd. I noon. I'm okay.

[B]

Well, two years ago it wasn't at Bobby Dot. I believe it Was in South Florida.

[E]

He didn't fumble.

[B]

I have to take my record. Okay.

[E]

Keep expecting that Miami team to show up.

[D]

All right.

[B]

I just hope that you guys have an opportunity to kneel to win the game.

[E]

Oh, we will.

[B]

Okay. Will you kneel?

[C]

That trash talk really petered out between you two. Like I thought. I thought there was going to be something there, but it just. It was just. I hope you have the.

[B]

I hope you keep it moving.

[E]

Trying to keep it moving. His time is precious.

[B]

It's valuable, apparently. Yeah. What's the clock at, by the way? How does Zaslo look at himself in the mirror after that game? Embarrassing. I'm talking about physically. How do you look at yourself in the mirror? What should I be embarrassed about? I don't know. You look like you drink soda.

[E]

He didn't go to Florida. He went to Santa Fe.

[A]

And when he looks in the mirror, he says Bryant McKinney.

[B]

Russell Wilson reminds me of the viral Decent man song in that I hate him and I never want to see him again. Daniel Jones leading the best offensive output through three games in Colts history.

[C]

It's crazy.

[B]

Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. McCorkle Jones completing 27 of 41 passes for 284 yards and the win rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Comedy comes in threes. I wish there was someone named Jones had a good game on Sunday. There wasn't. Jackson dart, we're ready for you. Haynes King showing he can do it with his arm. Don't look at the stats. Just trust me on this. He did it with his arm. Greg Cody, stay strong. There's a silver lining somewhere in that shitstorm cloud called the Dolphins. I'm sure you'll find it.

[D]

Thank you.

[B]

Why do H Vac companies all have USA flags on their trucks? Like shrink wrapped on it or. Or on a bumper sticker or flying over or whatever. Is anyone hiring an H Vac company because of their petrified patriotism?

[C]

Put it on the poll.

[B]

You were not hiring an H Vac company because of the lack of patriotism.

[C]

Put it on the poll. Put both of them on the poll. Juju at Lebartard show. Is anyone hiring an H Vac company because of their patriotism? Is anyone not hiring an H Vac company because of their lack of patriotism?

[B]

Like my AC is out but this guy. I don't know. If you love America. I'll wait for 10 days for the other guy. Asia Wilson Four time MVP goat Kyle Raleigh hit his 58th home run this weekend. If Kyle Raleigh came up to me and punched me in the throat and the cop showed up and asked me who punched me in the throat? I would say nothing because I got punched in the throat. I can't breathe. Caitlin Clark being fined $200 for disparaging the officiating via social media is the equivalent of LeBron James being fined $135,000. Double standard. After I get my win back after getting punched in the throat by Kyle Raleigh, when asked by the cops who punched me in the throat, I would still say nothing because I ain't no snitch. I really don't think Donald Trump knows how adjectives work. Assuming I was a snitch who got punched in the throat by Cal Raleigh. When asked by the cops who punched me in the throat and shown a lineup of all possible culprits, I would say I don't know because I have no idea who Kyle Raleigh is.

[C]

There it is.

[B]

Yeah. Top five Things to do while being ignored Oli be Cal Raleigh Number five Rob a bank. Number four Cheat on your significant other Number three Subvert democracy. Number two Weekend observations and the number one thing to do while being ignored? Take a nap. Will we go to trial for how I got punched in the throat by Cal Raleigh? And the D A reads back my original statement to the police about how I don't know who Cal Raleigh is and I say that's correct. And then they pull up a transcript of weekend observations from August 27th, 2025 and read verbatim how I called Cal Riley historic, iconic and legendary. I would just say I don't recall. Which is how Aspiration co founder Andre Cherny responded to Pablo Torres revelation about the Aspiration Investment Committee which okay, Kawhi is no show job that I don't remember. Yeah, that's how you do it.

[C]

That is how you do it.

[B]

Damon Dash has all the moral values of a 15 year old. Pat Beverly and Trey Young arguing is like my microwave and my toaster having an argument. Who the hell cares? Speaking of hell, Art Brials those are the weekend observations. Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real.

[D]

And so is the relief from Ebglis.

[C]

After an initial dosing phase, about 4.

[B]

In 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

[B]

That's why Chevrolet has earned more dependability awards for trucks than than any other.

He said you could do it where? Anywhere. Oh, whoa. Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. He said he could do it anywhere. That's crazy.

[D]

Murder.

[B]

Murder. Tell him, Stugach.

[E]

I had no idea Mean had that in his locker.

[B]

That might be his best.

[E]

That's crazy.

[B]

I'm not kidding. That's crazy.

[D]

Killer.

[B]

It's two America's Dance. You don't get it. This is the Dan Levatar show with.

[E]

The Stugach, that'd be cause for concern. That's brave little toaster territory. Appliances talking to one another. I mean, that's national news, perhaps international.

[B]

And that top line, man, the toaster. Come on, man. Yeah. Bridge, oven, stove top. One of those fancy people.

[E]

That's a poltergeist. That's a poltergeist. Then at that point, you have a poltergeist.

[C]

Wait, though, if you're trying to rank. If we were ranking kitchen stuff, the microwave would be pretty hugely important, I think.

[D]

I. Oh, yeah.

[C]

What do you mean?

[E]

No, Although, has the air fryer kind of mitigated the importance?

[B]

It has thunder.

[F]

You're living in the early 2000s there with microwave.

[B]

The.

[C]

The air fryer is good. Except there are times, Chris, and I know this might be hard for you to understand. You don't want things fried.

[B]

Burn.

[F]

Just anything heated up is better.

[E]

It's like putting in an oven. I, I. We are so lucky to live in a time where such an advancement to kitchen appliances.

[F]

Thank you, air fryer.

[E]

It happened just like, you know, we were the same generation that got an iPhone. Like, we are pretty lucky in some respects.

[C]

You're saying the microwave is not a hall of Famer in terms of kitchen stuff?

[B]

Because it's a hall of famer in the same way that Dolph Schultz was a hall of famer. Like, yes, you did it back then, but in today's game, you have no place. Does.

[C]

Does the air fryer make toast? Because I.

[B]

Of course.

[F]

Bagels. It reheats pizza.

[B]

It does.

[F]

Like, it takes forever.

[D]

The air fryer takes forever.

[F]

That's the only negative. Yeah, it does take a little bit.

[A]

Longer, but it's faster than a regular oven.

[D]

If I'm making chicken wings, it takes me a half hour.

[E]

What are you putting at 75 degrees?

[A]

Is it plugged in?

[E]

What do you got? You put it like 350. It costs you, like, eight minutes. All right. Worth it.

[D]

It's not worth it.

[E]

I mean, the big thing is you're not using oil. It's healthier, right?

[D]

And cheaper.

[E]

Sometimes you use oil.

[F]

The air is your oil.

[E]

You don't want it to stick.

[C]

Are you guys alleging the toaster is now obsolete?

[D]

Obsolete?

[A]

We haven't even mentioned the toaster.

[E]

Haven't mentioned the toaster?

[C]

No. He said the mic. Well, didn't. He said the microwave was arguing with the toaster.

[E]

The microwave toaster.

[D]

That.

[B]

Throw that away.

[A]

That was a good combo.

[E]

If you have a microwave toaster. Useless.

[D]

If you want to have a conversation in the kitchen, between two sad items, the toaster is commiserating with the waffle iron. Those two things, they're down in the. And the bottom shelf, where nobody ever looks, they're going, hey, man, we used to matter in this room.

[F]

The waffle iron will always have its place, though. If I'm in the mood for waffles, I'm going there.

[B]

I use all these. I use all this.

[E]

You use a waffle iron?

[B]

Yeah, we have that waffle maker deal.

[E]

You make waffles?

[B]

Yeah, we do.

[D]

What?

[B]

What's the matter with you?

[E]

I mean, that is like first ballot wedding. Why did I ask for this? What did I think it was going to be?

[F]

That box?

[B]

I use the waffle maker. We use a microwave. We also have air fryer and toaster. I got whatever.

[A]

You use a refrigerator?

[B]

Yes. Really?

[D]

How about a fondue pot? You got one of those?

[B]

No, no, we don't have that.

[D]

No.

[A]

You got a freezer?

[B]

Yeah, I got a freezer. What's the matter with you?

[E]

You call it an ice box?

[B]

No, call it a freezer.

[E]

Yeah, I know. I don't know anybody. That does it.

[A]

You got a sink?

[B]

Yeah, I got a sink.

[A]

Nice.

[F]

You got a junk drawer in your kitchen?

[C]

Yes. Yeah.

[F]

What do you got in there, batteries?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Headphones?

[D]

Headphones?

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Wires?

[B]

Yeah, a lot of wires.

[D]

Paper clips.

[C]

I think you guys are blaspheming against the microwave. I don't think you're giving the microwave what means is entrenched on this popcorn.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What else are you making that all.

[F]

Microwaves have right now is popcorn.

[D]

That's it. Take away popcorn right now.

[B]

That microwave is watching the game right now and talking about back in my day, we would have done it this way and that way. No, you wouldn't. You would have been lost out here in today's game with these athletes, these super athletes, these air fryers coming in. And by the way, air fryers look over your shoulder. The hydration oven comes soon.

[F]

How do I heat up, like, spaghetti?

[B]

How do I heat up spaghetti out of the fridge? Microwave. The only way.

[E]

The only thing it has going on. And you can do it in the air fryer.

[B]

Mm.

[E]

You can just does it better. Just do a little olive oil in there so it doesn't get too dry. I'm telling you, microwaves got to be looking around like, man, am I next?

[C]

You're. You guys are saying, and I don't use the air fryer enough to do this to know the answer to my question. You guys are saying that the microwave is only useful at this point point for popcorn and nothing else. That the air fryer. I'm trying to think of everything else.

[F]

Yes. The air fryer can do. Popcorn is the only thing I can think of that's like. That has to go in the middle.

[E]

Instant oatmeal. I guess it still has a purpose. A little in some Mac and cheese for the little ones. You need a microwave.

[A]

But I can't air fry my daughter's.

[E]

Milk if it comes in a plastic like a little carton. A styrofoam carton. All right.

[F]

Fine.

[E]

You still have a purpose. But air fryer is has totally won over the game.

[D]

I'll revisit. Reheat stuff in the micro.

[B]

You guys sound like people in 2010 trying to tell me. But I need the physical keyboard. Like what are you talking about? What. What are we doing here? We're caping for this relic of the past. It's literally from the 50s. It might as well come with like one of those atom drawings with electrons flying all over it.

[C]

The microwave is from the 50s. I would have thought it's more recent than that.

[F]

What a development.

[C]

I I that you're. The microwave is.

[A]

Cars are from the 1880s.

[D]

I thought it was the 70s.

[C]

The microw microwave is 75 years old. That stuns me. I don't. I don't believe.

[F]

1945 by Percy Spencer.

[B]

That was a good man right there.

[C]

I am.

[A]

He has to have had cancer. Right?

[C]

Done. Put it on the old juju at Lebitard. Joe. Does the Is it? Is it? Is it guaranteed that the inventor of the Microwave had stage 6 cancer? Died of stage.

[F]

Do we need the stage?

[C]

You know Mean a giggled at the stage. But it's surely the trial and error of 1945. Microwaves would be something that would be imperfect enough that for sure. That guy fried his face.

[B]

There's no current cancer right now on earth that matches the first cancer that came out of that first microwave.

[F]

The first microwave was refrigerator sized. Weighed over 750 pounds and cost $5,000 at that time.

[A]

He died of a heart attack. There's no Incredible Hulk.

[D]

Poor Percy.

[B]

The gamma rays hitting Bruce Banner. Like that's exactly what happened. They turned that thing on. They probably try to make popcorn like you guys.

[C]

It's so easy. It's so inefficient. You're just throwing some corn kernels in something the size of a fridge and you're sending all of the world's radiation at it to make a single piece of popcorn. It seems inefficient how much did it weigh? How much would give me more details.

[F]

£750. It cost cost 5.5grand. Which at that time is.

[C]

Oh, my God, yes, For popcorn. How many different things were you using it for in 1945?

[F]

Now I'm seeing the first popular home countertop model was released in 67 for $495.

[D]

That's more like it.

[C]

Still, 667 is earlier than I would have thought. Put it on the poll as well. Juju at Lebatard show. Would you have guessed that the microwave had been invented in 1945? Yes or no?

[E]

I have a question. That's out of left field, but how does Tyler Hero injured and having surgery? I mean, last week we were talking about him. We were talking about him as potentially the worst defender in the league. No one mentioned that.

[D]

Hey.

[E]

Yeah, but he's got this thing that he's dealing with. Where did this come from?

[D]

Ankle. They announced it a couple weeks ago.

[F]

Like he injured himself, like working out in the off season.

[D]

I. I got the impression it was like a lingering thing that they're finally having surgery inferior.

[E]

That's bad timing.

[B]

Why do they do that then? He's going to be out two months.

[C]

That can't be right. I mean, that can't be right. What Greg is saying that there is that. That they would wait that long for something that could have been done two months ago.

[D]

Well, him and well, I've both going to be out the same amount of time.

[E]

Yeah, but Chuck, it's strategic. It's a strategic thing to take advantage of league's salary cap rules. But Tyler Hero is hugely important. What's going on here? I mean, he should have jumped in the pool.

[A]

He could have come back later. If you're Tkachuk. Right.

[C]

You were saying amin.

[B]

The. The policy usually is to try to see if you can rehab without a surgical option. That's the number one option. It's like, do we have to have surgery? And so you try to rehab and see how it goes. This thing for him happened I think in the middle of the summer and apparently the rehab wasn't working and so they went to the surgical option.

[C]

Did you enjoy watching Belichick lose this weekend? Is it something that you're still paying attention to or is it something you've moved on from?

[B]

Dan? It was so uneventful. It was in my weekend observations and I took it out. I had a joke about like, oh, the season is still young. Just like Belichick likes it. But I'm like No, irrelevant. You don't even get the throwaway, low hanging fruit joke. Bill Belichick. Come back when you mean something.

[F]

Did you see the kiss on the sideline between Belichick and his girl?

[B]

I wasn't paying attention. I told you.

[F]

Yeah, it was pretty inappropriate.

[D]

It was amazing.

[F]

It definitely was not. It was definitely not AI. Definitely not AI.

[C]

You guys want to show it to Amin? Can. I mean, see it? Well, it was something that I think you don't normally see on a sideline. Jon Gruden on The poorly rated FS1 Wake up with Barstool show complained about Mike Lombardi and Bill Belichick. There you go. I mean, here you go. I mean, this is before the game. It was stunning to see this before the game.

[B]

Name? Oh, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Incredible. What was he thinking?

[B]

Wait, that's not Bill Belichick.

[D]

Sure looks like he picked her up.

[B]

The red flag was him picking up. That's when it threw you off. He picked her up. You know, back out doing that.

[C]

You were surprised by the man's strength. Good talking. Do you mean See you later?

[B]

All right. Cinepo movie this week is a Kevin James movie that I don't even remember the name. It's terrible. It's something about him being an assassin. You don't.

[C]

You don't remember the name of it.

[B]

It's. The movie has a very long title. It's something. He's a writer, but in his books he writes himself as an assassin character. And then people think that the book is real, so they hire him to be an assassin, but he's really just Kevin James, a fat guy. True story based on a true story. Yeah.

[C]

See you later.

[B]

That Sean Payton movie.

[E]

Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. And I know it's early in the NFL season, but it has shown you exactly why the NFL is indeed Kingsport in the United States of America. Great games, incredible matchups, in demand tickets for these high profile games. Sometimes, often times, these games are sold out and you're left with the secondary market. Well, let me tell you about my go to on the secondary market. The official ticketing partner of the Dan LeBatard Show. I'm talking, of course, about game time. Gametime's amazing for a lot of different reasons. Zoned beats, panoramic CPUs, the low price guarantee, and GameTime's unparalleled ticket coverage. I'm an NFL free agent, so I'm always looking for the biggest games. And gametime makes it so easy to peruse the app. One of my favorite features is fees are always included. What you see is what you pay, and that is hugely important when you're traveling abroad to catch the game du jour. Take the guesswork out of buying NFL tickets with GameTime.
