  • Chris and Mina riff about the merit of staying at DoubleTree solely for their cookies.
  • The merits of “suite life” vs. normal travel and the pecking order at ESPN is explored, with everyone admitting to never receiving suites themselves.

2. Classic Greg & Chris Cody Meltdown

• (05:23–08:13)
  The team replays a tense and hilarious clip of Greg Cody furious with Chris Cody, setting off a mock-serious family standoff over a laptop and a draft ranking leak.

  • Mina relates the generational dynamic to parenting:

3. Parental Respect and Kids Dismissing Parents

• (08:24–08:53)
  Mina weighs in on Zaslow’s 16-year-old calling him “sugar tits,” calling it a total lack of respect, which she would find funny if it had been a daughter rather than a son.

4. Baseball Cut-ins, Home Run Records, and AL Bias

• (09:04–12:01)
  The team jokes about possible ESPN cut-ins for Cal Raleigh’s (“the Big Dumper”) home run chase, comparing it to the media circus for Aaron Judge.
  • Dan: “Stop making the AL home run record a thing. It’s not a thing.” (09:14)

6. NFL Deep Dive: Contracts, Agents, and Teams to Watch

• (19:09–21:59)
  Mina analyzes the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons contract drama, noting it’s not interesting because there’s no real debate—Parsons should simply be made the highest-paid edge rusher.
  • Quote:
    “You could negotiate a Micah Parsons contract. All you have to do is find the highest paid edge rusher contract and add some money to it.” — Mina Kimes (20:09)

7. Quick-Fire Football Predictions

• (24:32–28:28)
  A series of rapid questions for Mina about the NFL season:

  • Breakout team: The Bears, especially in the second half (25:26).
  • Worst team: Saints, with Cleveland as a contender (25:50).

  • Passing yards leader: Joe Burrow, with Lamar second (26:54–27:05).
  • Breakout players:
    “I think Lad McConkey ... I think he’s so talented and I think he’s going to get more attention as being like a true number one receiver.” — Mina Kimes (27:18)
  • On Travis Hunter:
    “Primarily wide receiver. Because I failed to see the whole how the whole him playing both ways thing plays out to the extent that…” — Mina Kimes (27:34)

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats Podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

Mina Kimes will be here shortly. We look forward to all of her help during the football season. She'll be around here plenty. Pitch Clock is again segregated on our show. It exists apart from our show but adjacent to our show. We continue to segregate baseball. Pitch Clock will be in the post game today and Juju will will be joining us here shortly to update the polls. I want to ask both Juju and Mina about their best friend situation, but I will tell the group here when I tell you that Zaslow is a rising star at ESPN and ESPN Radio. He has been taunting Amber Wilson, his longtime co host here locally with pictures of the sweets he gets on the road now that he's traveling with college football every year. He's been taunting her with look at how not only first class flights. Somehow, somehow Zaslo is getting sweets at ESPN And I will tell you, I got no sweets at espn. I don't know how Zaslo is getting sweets.

[Chris Cody]

I would be on these stops late in the season. It could be in. It was in Norman, Oklahoma. I was in Tuscaloosa. It was in Atlanta. Championship.

[Dan Le Batard]

I hear Oklahoma is the worst.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, it was fine. I wouldn't say it was the worst. I didn't like Baton Rouge. Was not a big fan of Baton Rouge. Everyone, though, says that you got to go to a night game there in Death Valley. I do have a stop there this year. I'm hoping it's a night game, but yes, first class tomorrow morning. All right. I'll be flying to Columbus and looking forward to the suite that I get. That's right. Amber didn't believe me last year. When I'm getting. I get to my room. She gets to her room. She's in a regular room. That's all great. I get to. I. There's a. There's a living area. There's a kitchen. One of these. It had a full table with 10 chairs.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, I'm up.

[Chris Cody]

I'm not expecting a guest, but if I wanted a guest, they can come over.

[Mike Ryan]

Dinner party. You could have a dinner party at that Radisson Inn.

[Chris Cody]

And then in another room was my bedroom. And she didn't believe me. I was like, oh, you don't believe it. I sent her pictures. Yeah, she's in her nice little studio and I got a party if I feel like it.

[Mike Ryan]

He's a rising star. You can get him all over your Weekend coverage on ESPN Radio, 10:00am Eastern.

[Chris Cody]

Time, ESPN Radio Saturday morning college football tailgate.

[Mike Ryan]

He is not, however, as big a star at ESPN as Mina Kimes is. Mina, do you get a suite when you travel on the road? Because I've never gotten a suite at espn. I can't believe that Zaslo is out here getting sweets. And I'd have the follow up question. Any of those hotels, did the hotel lobby smell like chlorine because the pool is indoors?

[Chris Cody]

I don't think so.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, so you're getting good. You're getting good hotels. Mina, do you have any sweets? Do you get sweets when you travel on the road?

[Mina Kimes]

No sweets like. You mean like a hotel suite? Not like a. Like a little treat?

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Not a cookie at the Double Tree. I'm talking about an actual. They don't do it anymore.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, we don't. We're not with ESPN anymore. Because you kicked Billy out of the studio so you can rip on Trump and espn.

[Mike Ryan]

I Kicked Mina out of the studio that day, too.

[Chris Cody]

It was really Nick Wright's fault. If we're gonna dissect the entire thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, that's right.

[Chris Cody]

He wouldn't have gone on Twitter that morning. We would have been in a different world.

[Mina Kimes]

If you guys are deciding between hotels and one of them is a doubletree, would you book the doubletree solely for the free cookie? Even though you could buy a cookie somewhere else?

[Mike Ryan]

Great question. Put it on the poll, please. At Lebatard show, if you're choosing between the hotel. Is the doubletree cookie the tiebreaker?

[Dan Le Batard]

I love that hot drawer.

[Chris Cody]

I'm in a double tree next weekend, actually. I'll let you know.

[Mike Ryan]

Mina, we want to play for you here. Greg Cody getting furious with us earlier this week. I want to get your assessment here of what happened, who's right and who's wrong in the raging fury between Greg Cody and his son Christopher.

[Chris Cody]

Wait a second.

[Mike Ryan]

They're going to be elbows grabbed. They're going to be elbows grabbed. He's furious.

[Chris Cody]

Don't say anything about it. I'm serious. I want my laptop back. I'm not the least bit amused by this. I'm not kidding in how angry I am.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm gonna send them both to the penalty box.

[Chris Cody]

I'm not going to the penalty box put together. I'll bring this. I want my computer right here before I do anything. No, I'm not going to the penalty box until I get my computer right here.

[Mike Ryan]

You can bring it to me. This is fine. This is good.

[Chris Cody]

No, you can bring it to me.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg, you're going to stop that now. Yes.

[Chris Cody]

No, I'm not.

[Mike Ryan]

You're going to stop that now.

[Mina Kimes]

No.

[Chris Cody]

No, I'm not. I'll leave. I'll go home if you want me to with my laptop, but I am not going in the penalty box until my laptop is connected to my computer. My son is. This is not your fault. My son has gone over the line here. I am genuinely upset.

[Mike Ryan]

We know.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, so how about make it right, Christopher? If I don't have that computer here in three minutes, I am not hosting the draft party Thursday night on the screen. Please don't do it. I cannot express to you how serious I am. Hold your heart.

[Mike Ryan]

All right.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. No, no. On my life, Greg, I am not hosting this draft party Thursday night. I've never been more angry connected with this show. Anybody who thinks that's me is an idiot. On my granddaughter's life. On my granddaughter's life, I am not hosting this wrap party unless I Have that computer. Whatever number he said will not be where the Dolphins are. Wait a minute. Oh, wait. Now the number's changing. Maybe. Oh, no. Depending on how accurate he was.

[Mike Ryan]

Mina. The context was he was mad that we were going to expose before it appeared in the Miami Herald where he ranked the Miami Dolphins for the season.

[Mina Kimes]

Where did you rank them? Now I'm titillated.

[Chris Cody]

Well, it was 14th, but when I said the number 14, just guessing, he was like, I need to change it. So he made it 15. Wow.

[Mina Kimes]

Wait, so is the. Greg, are you upset because of your afraid of invoking the ire of the fans or because you perceive this to be like an exclusive?

[Chris Cody]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

Greg's not here, Mina.

[Mina Kimes]

Oh, sorry.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a video. That's how television works sometimes.

[Dan Le Batard]

We could have set it up.

[Chris Cody]

Maybe she thought it was a reenactment.

[Mina Kimes]

It's really confusing, honestly, because the video does look like it's happening today. 14 seems fair. That seems pretty generous.

[Mike Ryan]

Not what I was asking you. Not surprising that that's what you decided to answer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, we established a setup.

[Mina Kimes]

My only takeaway from that video is that watching Greg discipline or try to discipline Chris is just exactly how I treat my toddler. And I'm glad to know that's not gonna change for 25 years.

[Mike Ryan]

What would be your assessment as a parent on Zaslow's home situation where his 16 year old texts him and calls him sugar tits by way of dismissal?

[Mina Kimes]

Is this a 16 year old boy or a 16 year old girl?

[Chris Cody]

Boy.

[Mina Kimes]

Okay. Yeah. He has no respect for you.

[Chris Cody]

Well, how would your answer have changed? If I said it was my daughter.

[Mina Kimes]

I would have said, that's funny.

[Mike Ryan]

Mike Ryan. Mike Ryan threatened to kill ESPN yesterday if they break into college football coverage to show anything regarding the Big Dumper.

[Mina Kimes]

Oh, wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, I know we love rms, all right? I know you love. I know you love Cal Raleigh. I love him too, but I hate.

[Mina Kimes]

My Mariners group chat. I let you into the circle.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm following the story. I'm all about Big Dumper. I hated when Aaron Judge did this. And ESPN wanted to interrupt AAC football for an Aaron Judge record. That's not the record. It's not a thing. Stop making the AL home run record a thing. It's not a thing. Now I understand Yankees branding. That's the argument. There's no way in hell they do this for the Mariners. No shot. And if they do, I'm going to kill him.

[Mina Kimes]

Well, Cal's only at, what, 50 now, so I feel like there wouldn't. I Mean, he has a few records to break. I think switch hitter is up next. Mickey Mantle, 54. And then he can break Griffey's franchise record at 50.

[Dan Le Batard]

These aren't records.

[Chris Cody]

Remember when 50 used to mean something? Me? You just said only 50.

[Mike Ryan]

She did hit a record. Only 50.

[Chris Cody]

What a world we live in.

[Mike Ryan]

Only 50.

[Dan Le Batard]

Not a record.

[Mina Kimes]

I just mean that I don't think he's gonna get the cut in until he gets to 61. If he gets there. And then he probably will, but I probably won't. You're right, because it's the Mariners. Although we've been doing Mariners three days in a row on pti, which I feel like is the most that ESPN has talked about the Mariners in probably since Griffey.

[Mike Ryan]

How much PTI have you done? I didn't know you were on pti. When did you start doing that? I literally have never seen you on pti.

[Mina Kimes]

That's because it's on espn, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Deuce.

[Chris Cody]

It's her and the Iceman.

[Mina Kimes]

Yeah, with the Iceman. Because tennis is on ESPN1. So I get the call up for, you know, the B team show.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's be abundantly clear. And I'd love a judge's ruling on this.

[Chris Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

There is one single season home run record. It's 73.

[Mina Kimes]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Hold on a second. The honorable Jonathan Zapper. He's a lawyer, he's a judge, he's a race expert.

[Chris Cody]

Kind of undercut it. Answering it.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, he already answered. He already made his ruling. That sort of defeats what's happening right now.

[Dan Le Batard]

He forgot he was a judge.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, he forgot he was a judge. He forgot we'd do a segment with a judge.

[Mina Kimes]

See the whole. If cal gets to 61. Right. Let's just say it seems a little bit. I think he's on pace for a little less than that. I'm going to be really torn because I don't want to be one of those, you know, old traditionalist. The drug tainted records don't count. This is pure baseball. But if it's Cal Raleigh, I'm going to say those tainted records don't count. This is a true baseball player, but only if it's Cal Rally. I wasn't doing that for Aaron Judge.

[Chris Cody]

The record is 73. Drugs in baseball are good with press, giveable, forgiven.

[Mina Kimes]

I'm with you. I'm with you. Unless Cal gets there and then I'm against you.

[Mike Ryan]

I also think there is a great danger, based on everything that we've just done, is that someone in accounting realizes that Zaz isn't supposed to get a suite that he's getting a suite that.

[Chris Cody]

He'S not supposed to get. Yeah, chill on that. Keep that down low. What's the matter with you?

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, every football game is a grind. And if you're like Dan and the crew, you know there's no such thing as one size fits all. Your sleep should be just as custom as coach's game plan. That's where sleep number comes in. You get to call your own plays. Softer, firmer, cooler, warmer. Your side, your comfort. Change it whenever you want. No more feeling stuck like a busted play. And for all the late night fights over the thermostat, climate series cools up 20 times faster than the competition. True temp betting kicks heat and humidity to the sidelines so you can actually stay chill all night long. Bottom line, sleep number is like having a sleep coach in your corner adjusting to you when all night. Because your best game starts with the right rest. Why choose a sleep number?

Hey Mike.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey man. Summer's almost ending, man. I don't like that. There's no way. There's no way I am excited about cooler temperatures. But down here in South Florida, that just means slightly less boiling hot. It's been a pretty incredible summer. We've had a parade down here. We've grown our family down here at Meadowlark Media. A lot of exciting things, a lot of memorable benchmarks. And along the way, at almost every step, I've been tailed by that beautiful white can of Miller Light. Oh, that beautiful white or the brown bottle. You can do it on draft.

[Mike Ryan]

Draft is crisp.

Don LeBatard did you get lost on.

[Mina Kimes]

The way to Home Depot today, Dan? Like what, what's going on with the plants? But you look like you're about to ask me to like check the oil on my car or like come over and like look around and point things in my house that need to be fixed.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stug.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to play something. Someone else is blowing up. You may have noticed here that Pablo Torre is very proud of his New York Times partnership. Mina, I want to get your thoughts here on Pablo's debut video here promising the New York Times and its its readers what they're going to get from Pablo. He's already wearing a New York Times shirt. Get your thoughts here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay.

[Chris Cody]

Hello, Pablo Torre here, host of Pablo Torre finds out now coming to you from our new home at the Athletic.

[Mike Ryan]

And the New York Times, where will.

[Chris Cody]

Use our brand of Murrow Award winning and Peabody nominated journalism to investigate mysteries. It gets back to the ultimate question.

[Dan Le Batard]

That we've been asking as it relates to this document.

[Chris Cody]

Why? Basically we're a sports podcast in the same way that Moneyball is a baseball book, meaning that we tell you stories that are about a lot more than just the game. If you show me a ring cam video with you.

[Mina Kimes]

Pablo, what the.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is crazy.

[Mina Kimes]

Pablo, what the.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't understand.

[Chris Cody]

What podcast is this? Truman Show?

[Mina Kimes]

Is this world Truman Show?

[Chris Cody]

Where are we?

[Mina Kimes]

What's going on?

[Chris Cody]

We do interviews that'll make you think.

[Mina Kimes]

She'S fearless in those moments. I always joke that sue would have hated me as a teammate and laugh.

[Chris Cody]

But through all the pain and hopefully both, I mean, boom, that's hard.

[Mike Ryan]

And it is.

[Chris Cody]

So three times a week, follow us down the rabbit hole at Pablo Torre finds out you can watch or listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Can we call a coordinator? He says hamburger a lot. I don't know if I've ever Felt the feeling that I'm feeling right now. Love you.

[Mina Kimes]

Wow. Lot of thoughts. Lot of thoughts. First, Dan and I, despite doing dozens of episodes, didn't make the sizzle reel. Don't know if you noticed that, Dan. If you caught that, you and I not featured at all there. He compared himself to Moneyball at one point. Did anyone else catch that? Basically compared himself to Moneyball. The T shirt. I feel like Pablo works out in a Harvard shirt and then is like, oh, this whole thing is just laying around in my closet. 4. I'm very excited for him because he's my friend. I think they're gonna do a great job and I think it's a really great partnership.

[Mike Ryan]

So I have a question for you though, about that Belichick ring video that he aired.

[Dan Le Batard]

How did the. The awards that he won, rattling them off, not make the list? That's impressive. That just tells you his brand and his awards.

[Mina Kimes]

Being aware that he won and one.

[Mike Ryan]

That he was nominated for, that's important distinction. One that he won and one that he was nominated for. And both of them should have had better audio quality on that video. Like Edward R. Murrow. That was video and audio quality from Edward R. Murrows age right there. But if you had to take a guess, Mina did Pablo, when he recreated the Airbnb that Belichick emerged from shirtless, did he not do that himself in the recreation shirtless because he didn't think of it or because he would not be seen shirtless anywhere in public?

[Mina Kimes]

It's a great question. It's 100% the second thing. And it honestly discredits the entire video for me. When I first saw that and the way that he positioned it as like a recreation going undercover. And then I saw his shirt was on, I just turned it off. I didn't even watch. I don't even know what happened in that episode, honestly, because the lack of commitment to the bit ruined it for me.

[Mike Ryan]

Do you think Pablo put it on the poll at Lebatard show? Is Pablo someone who goes into the pool with his shirt on? I'm asking the question.

[Chris Cody]

Feels like a yes.

[Mike Ryan]

I think it's a sweater.

[Mina Kimes]

Harvard shirt. Pablo's looking good. How did I get here? I feel like Pablo is looking good for his age. I feel like he could have gone shirtless. I don't know. I've never seen him shirtless.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to talk football with you. We will get your sped up sounds and thoughts in a second. I enjoyed hearing you on with Dave Damaschek that podcast football America is going to be exceptional as we head into the season. What do you make of the most interesting contract situation? Whichever one it is you choose to make the most interesting?

[Mina Kimes]

Well, two of three are resolved, right? Because you got the Terry deal and you got the Trey Hendrickson pay raise. Probably going to be gone after this year. So it's Micah by default. But can I say something? I don't find the Micah situation interesting at all. It would be interesting if there was a debate over whether to pay him. Like sometimes with these contracts. I don't know. You couldn't say this about Dak Prescott, but certainly the case with Kerry McClaurin. You look at them and you understand to some extent why the team might have some hesitance if the player is asking for too much and they're older, things like that. Like Chris, you could negotiate a Micah Parsons contract.

[Chris Cody]

Thank you.

[Mina Kimes]

All you have to do. I don't know why I said Chris, sorry I went for you. You were right in front of me. All you have to do.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's not that he's an idiot.

[Mina Kimes]

All you'd have to do is find the highest paid edge Roger contract and then add some money to it. It's like the fact that we're here is so dumb and transparently just Jerry Jones wanting attention or something or being unsatisfied. The way business is done in 2025, I do not know. But it's not fun to talk about because there's nothing to debate. It's just stupid.

[Chris Cody]

Chris, Jerry Jones definitely takes you to the cleaners sitting here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Quite the brand you've established.

[Mike Ryan]

Mina, I think I have it correct when I say that Micah Parsons in terms of applying pressure when he's on the field does it better than anyone by percentage. Do I have it wrong? Like 7? I read a stat, I don't know how long ago it was. I think it was at about 17.8%. He was a decent amount ahead of all the other rushers in terms of percentage of times he's disruptive.

[Mina Kimes]

Him and Miles Garrett are pretty close but over the last three years you're right, he has led all edge rushers in pressure, percentage, pass rush win. He's been the second most double team player behind Micah, or pardon me, Myles Garrett. So yeah, he's. That's again and he's 26 or something. There's. It's not debatable. The thing that I find kind of interesting is usually with these contracts impasses you get inklings of like he's asking for a billion dollars and a share of the team. And he wants the next Cowboys documentary just to be about him. We haven't gotten those. Even those leaks which would suggest like, you know, like the Cowboys have not put that into the atmosphere. So I don't, I don't know what the heck's going on.

[Chris Cody]

Mina, how much does this have to do with the reputation of the agent as far as Jerry Jones not wanting to talk with him?

[Mina Kimes]

I mean, he represents a zillion players in the NFL and gets deals done all the time. Obviously the Watson deal is the one that the agent will get, is very known for because it will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in history by NFL franchise for, you know, a litany of reasons. But he's not like he did. There's. He does tons of deals all the time.

[Mike Ryan]

I found that Cowboys documentary wildly disappointing. I had big expectations for it. Didn't even finish it. Stopped after episode because they threw all that stuff in episode seven. They milked it for six episodes. Way too fat. All Jerry Jones's story. And then I just quit on it after seven episodes.

[Mina Kimes]

I thought about watching it, but then Love Is Blind UK was calling to me like a siren. Which by the way, amazing season. Love Is Blind UK for Billy?

[Mike Ryan]

No, for everybody. Who wants to check out the Mina Kimes podcast featuring Lenny. She is obsessed with the show. Is it your favorite? It's your favorite to talk about?

[Mina Kimes]

Yeah, I like it. But no. I have a TV recap show with David Dennis Jr called viewer discretion and we're doing combination of that and Alien Earth right now. So look at how exciting.

[Mike Ryan]

Look at how exciting Mike Ryan is.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no, no. I just love the imaging that we made of Conor McGregor and Chris. He even found a way to get that quickly.

[Mike Ryan]

Alien hurt Chris. Find for me the music that will speed her up so we can get to some football. But I do want to get her thoughts here. ESPN's Dr. Jordan Rogers has carved out the lane as Jordan. I'm the only Arch Manning critic. He is being critical of Arch Manning. He's saying the hype doesn't match the tape. There are good things and there are some good things, but the tape to me doesn't tell me that you've got a first round draft pick or a top 10 pick or a number one overall draft pick. I think he's going to go into Ohio State and he's going to struggle because he hasn't played anybody. Zaslo's had the same opinion. Amina seems terrified by this opinion. York, what's happening.

[Mina Kimes]

How do you guys have strong opinions? We've barely seen the kid play football. He played two games against unranked opponents. He came in against utsa. I thought he looked good in that game. He also ran for 67 yards. That's the crazy thing about Arch Manning, right? He comes from the Manning family, it's royal family, etc. He is an athlete out there and I think that's going to bolster him early on even if there are some ups and downs. The athleticism is very unique.

[Chris Cody]

That's what it is though. Mina, I have a strong opinion against the strong opinion.

[Mina Kimes]

We haven't seen him. Wait, that's good. That's good. That's a great lane to carve out is the anti hot take.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, but everybody though says he's good even though we haven't seen him. So you're sitting here saying how can you have a strong opinion? Well, there seem to be strong opinions that this is the best quarterback prospect there's ever been. That seems to be something that is a popular opinion.

[Mina Kimes]

Well, I mean those companions from the people who are actually in the know are based on like the quarterback camps and watching them in high school and I don't think anyone in this room has done either of those things. So I'm not going to take a strong stance about that because we're not comparing him to first round draft picks. We're comparing him to prospects at this point and it's quite possible that he is as good as a prospect at.

[Mike Ryan]

Least who is a team that's a lot better than people think.

[Mina Kimes]

I will go with I think the Bears are going to be good, but I think they're going to be really good in the second half of the season. I think early on it could look a little up and down, but I like the Bears defense. I think that everyone's talking about Ben Johnson and the offense, but I think the defense hiring Dennis Allen was one of the best hires of the entire offseason.

[Mike Ryan]

The gulf of difference between the worst team in the league and the Saints is what the Saints are the worst.

[Mina Kimes]

Team in the league.

[Mike Ryan]

Who's the second worst team in the league?

[Mina Kimes]

Probably Cleveland, I would say. It's been like Cleveland. New York's defensive line is so good it's hard for me to put them there. So I'll go Cleveland.

[Mike Ryan]

Nick Wright, your nemesis, says on Dan Patrick that he believes that the Chiefs are the single best team in the league. Is he a raging homer?

[Mina Kimes]

He came on my show in July and ranked the Eagles Number one. So I don't. I don't know what's changed between July and now, but I'm going to fact check Nick Wright with his own words on my own show.

[Mike Ryan]

Nick Wright out here doing the stugats of just telling everybody different things and having seven number one teams so he can be right at the end of the season. What is that?

[Mina Kimes]

Roll the tape. I'm telling you, we did a power rankings episode and he picked. I gave him the choice Eagles or Chiefs, and he picked the Eagles.

[Mike Ryan]

True or false? The Chiefs are better this year, but they're going to have a substantively worse record.

[Mina Kimes]

True. Because last year what they did, their record in one score games was like a historical aberration.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who will lead the NFL in passing yards?

[Mina Kimes]

Joe Burrow. Because he's gonna have to. Because he's gonna have to score like 40 points a game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who's second?

[Mina Kimes]

I'll go with Lamar.

[Mike Ryan]

Give us a player who is going to explode a name that's going to explode and grab everybody's attention this year.

[Mina Kimes]

I mean, I think lad McConkey is like, yeah, I could not speak highly enough about him after reviewing him this offseason. I think he's so talented and I think he's going to get more attention as being like a true number one receiver. Like one of those dudes this year.

[Chris Cody]

Mina. Travis Hunter will be what this year?

[Mina Kimes]

Primarily wide receiver. Because I failed to see the whole how the whole him playing both ways thing plays out to the extent that.

[Mike Ryan]

People think Cam Ward's going to be what this season.

[Mina Kimes]

Promising, inconsistent, consistent. But a lot of that has to do with his surroundings. Not the greatest group of receivers. I think the offensive line will be better, but I really liked what I saw from in the preseason. He's just. He's gonna be fun to watch, which is something they haven't had in Tennessee in a while.

[Mike Ryan]

Shador Sanders is going to be what.

[Mina Kimes]

Possibly a starter for a couple games at the end of the year.

[Mike Ryan]

A wide receiver who's going to break out this season.

[Mina Kimes]

I already did. Ladies. I think Roma Du is going to be a lot better this year. To go back to the Bears thing, I think that Ben Johnson is going to find really interesting ways to use.

[Chris Cody]

Is Tyreek Hill on the Dolphins past the trade deadline?

[Mina Kimes]

Yes, because I think the Dolphins will still be competitive.

[Mike Ryan]

What's Belichick going to be at North Carolina.

[Mina Kimes]

Mid.

[Mike Ryan]

She's gotten good at the game of speeding things up. Mina, we look forward to talking to you this season. We are. What are you Pointing at us for no.

[Mina Kimes]

I say if it's something I don't actually want to answer, that's when I will give you the one word answer.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, is that what happened? Okay, double check.

[Mina Kimes]

Door. I got my whole.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, well, then we're going to replace you right now with a song by Jeremy about Bill Belichick and his copywriting of Gold Digger.

The relief from EBGLIS.

[Mina Kimes]

After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EVGLIS 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.

[Chris Cody]

EVGLIS Lebricizumab LBKZ a 250mg per 2ml injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription.

It'S the final night gown.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats. Thursday Thunder is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings the Crown is yours.

[Mike Ryan]

Juju Won a couple of weeks ago Thursday Thunder has been, I think, pretty consistently two for three. Like if you were betting these individually, you'd be at about a 75 or 80% clip because Juju's very good at.

[Dan Le Batard]

This guy doesn't get it, but that's.

[Mike Ryan]

Not how it works.

[Chris Cody]

66% off. So it's adorable to say two out.

[Dan Le Batard]

Of three doesn't get.

[Juju]

All right. He's so adorable. But yeah, man, last week we went 2 for 3. Yet again, a knife through the heart. But this week, we going to write that, baby. First leg, I'm going with my sister, the sharpshooter. She got her shooters back, Brianna Stewart back. She got Emma Simon over there. I'm going with Sabrina UNESCO for over 5.5 assists tonight. Lock it in. Second leg, I'm going to Seattle. It's storming right now. I hear. I hear the thunder.

[Mike Ryan]

I hear it. It is storming.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. And it's gonna be storming a lot of neca goomake points tonight. I'm going over 16.5 points for my sister, Madam President, tonight, last leg, Alyssa Thomas, MVP candidate, man, she been on the road lately, and I think she gonna keep it rolling tonight against the sky with over 9.5 rebounds tonight. Lock it in.

[Mike Ryan]

Juju, your dream last night. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Juju. I'm sorry. That's. That's the biggest game, the biggest home game, and I don't know how long. Are you okay?

[Juju]

I am extremely distraught. Let alone like, the game was so close within that third quarter. Asia Wilson woke up with two threes out of nowhere. The crowd, the home crowd, our home crowd, was louder for the Vegas Aces than they were for our big dogs. I do not stand for it. My sister, Ryan Howard spoke out against it last night. Salute to Ryan. Total heartbreak, though.

[Mike Ryan]

We're gonna get to polls here in a second, but the Athletic is reporting that ESPN is demoting hall of Famer Doris Burke off its NBA Finals team and promoting Tim Legler.

[Dan Le Batard]

Finally.

[Juju]

Man.

[Mike Ryan]

Right, juju, did you have any interesting thoughts on anything that we were discussing today? Did you have any thoughts on Chris Cody saying he has no best friend, but an alarming number of general friends in his inner circle?

[Chris Cody]

That's right.

[Juju]

Right. It made me think, and I really. I was trying to go through my list. I don't have a best friend either. I had a best friend, and he was taken from us way too soon. And I think about him all the time. I got his name tattooed on my face. But, yeah, I don't have a best friend either. So I think it's just a growing pain.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry that we've already established on this show that's a penalty.

[Mike Ryan]

That's not a penalty. It's not a penalty. No. He had a best friend, but his best friend died. You don't just report plays your best friend.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, well, then just say you don't have a best friend.

[Chris Cody]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don't draw me. Don't trauma dump on me, sir.

[Chris Cody]

Nobody's trying to hear that.

[Juju]

To say. To say.

[Mike Ryan]

Dismissed again. Got my own problems. The dismissals were very popular this. This year. What do you have for us on dismissals, Juju?

[Juju]

Billy Gill man. I think he has. I think this might be the earliest nominee for the next year episode that Billy had, bruh. You took out David Sampson before the break in the best dismissal for 2026 winner. Already already.

[Mike Ryan]

You're. Wait a minute.

[Juju]

Already already?

[Chris Cody]

That's gonna be a talking to later.

[Juju]

I know. It was magnificent. And the YouTube Chad loved it.

[Mike Ryan]

What do you have for us in the way of polls here today, juju? I didn't feel like we had very many of them today.

[Juju]

Yes. Our kids. Ingrates. 89 of the audience says, yes, they are.

[Chris Cody]

Of course.

[Juju]

That blazer is looking great on you. My brother's ass.

[Chris Cody]

Thanks. Thanks, player.

[Juju]

Extremely. Extremely. Player. Do you have a best friend? 72% of the audience says, yes, they do.

[Dan Le Batard]

Anybody else have someone die? Can we move on?

[Juju]

I'm gonna serve my penalty on Monday. Is the mercury in a thermometer poisonous? 94 of the audience says, yes, it is, Billy.

[Mike Ryan]

But it's not poisonous. It's poisonous if you ingest it.

[Chris Cody]

Right?

[Mike Ryan]

It's not poisonous, though, if you just get it on your hands or anything. Right? It's not. It's. It's only if you have it. If. Like, why would. Why would you have mercury that you're just swigging?

[Chris Cody]

Okay. But that's a given that it's. If you ingest it. Like, you know a rattlesnake snake has. Has poisonous venom. Yeah. If it bites you, not just if you're around it. It's a given you could survive about a rattlesnake bite. Zaz, you should try.

[Dan Le Batard]

Show me.

[Mike Ryan]

How is it that you survive a rattlesnake bite somebody?

[Chris Cody]

I was trying to get to him to get bit by a rattlesnake, but he beat me to it. He's got a sharp tongue. This is outsmarted. Yes.

[Juju]

Also a sharp blazer. The last poll. Are farms cool. 67% of the audience says, yes, they are. And those are your poles.

[Mike Ryan]

What the hell would be wrong with farms? I'm still not understanding why it is that you guys brought that up today. And then no one had any further explanation on why it is farmaged. I know, but why. Why would we. Why would we cancel Farmageddon?

[Chris Cody]

The hot tip is that the Big 12 are the ones who are uncomfortable with it, but no one seems to know why K State denied being involved in asking that they stop calling it. So now it's Iowa State that we're looking at or the Big 12.

[Mike Ryan]

I should tell people, incidentally, because we're doing so much in the way of football coverage, that Football America is going to be a very good show. Like, I can already tell how good that's going to be. Mina and Rossini are going to be on with us all season, so we're going to get ramped up on all matters football here in a way over the next couple of weeks that I find disconcerting. I find Mike Ryan is already yelling at me that I'm talking about dirty things, even though that I was just saying that we are all physically dirty. At the end of this weekend, he's getting mad in defense of Urban Meyer and other dirty college people that. That I would call his sport dirty.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stop calling it dirty. Stop referencing the business of college football. Let me enjoy our week.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, you can enjoy this week.

[Dan Le Batard]

I have a Lee Corso tattoo. Let me say goodbye to my hero.

[Mike Ryan]

I didn't know you had a Lee Corso. Now you do.

[Dan Le Batard]

Now you do.

[Mike Ryan]

Let me see your Lee Corso tattoo.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's fan fiction. It's him wearing a Sebastian the Ibis headgear that he's.

[Chris Cody]

Can you lift up your leg a little higher?

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry. I'm trying, dog. I'm 40.

[Mike Ryan]

I did not. Sweet calves elite Corso tattoo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hang on. Let me see if I. Dude, should I put it in a stationary place? How do you not know that about me?

[Chris Cody]

We're nailing this right now. Put that leg up there.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know any of your tattoos. I do.

[Chris Cody]

There you go. Get the mic.

[Mike Ryan]

I do do think, and I don't mean to hamstring shame you, but I do think your hamstring needed a little bit of help there on this on the stretch. I think that was a lot of inner thigh juju than Clevelander. Good, good week of polls. Juju. Appreciate the time, sir.

[Dan Le Batard]

Churchill won that, too.

[Juju]

Thank you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Hey, Tony. Hey, Mike. Hey, man. Summer's almost ending, man. I don't like that. There's no way. There's no way I am excited about cooler temperatures, but down here in South Florida, that just means slightly less boiling hot. It's been a pretty incredible summer. We've had a parade down here. We've grown our family down here at Meadowlark Media. A lot of exciting things, a lot of memorable benchmarks.
