Date: November 26, 2025
Location: Elser Hotel, Downtown Miami

Overview

In this lively Local Hour from The Dan Le Batard Show, Dan, Stugotz, and the crew hunker down for a pre-Thanksgiving mail-it-in session, taking a uniquely Miami angle on sports, pop culture, and holiday traditions. The conversation is dominated by debates over local media legends, college football playoff controversies (especially around the Miami Hurricanes), the apparent “mailing it in” energy of the day, and the anxieties and inside jokes that make the show a cult favorite. The episode features an extended interrogation of Bob Wischusen (“Chuckle F***”), national broadcaster and former South Florida media presence, about media bias and the College Football Playoff committee’s logic.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Miami Local Legends Hall of Fame – Who Gets In?

Timestamps: 01:42 – 15:00

• The Game: The crew and guest Jonathan Zaslow argue about who qualifies as South Florida/local media legends, referencing a slew of broadcasters, journalists, and personalities (Craig Minervini, O.J. McDuffie, Jessica Blaylock, Michelle Kaufman, “The Beast,” and more).

  • Running Joke: Zaslow comes off as very selective and dismissive:
    “I’m giving out like candy right now.” — Zaslow (03:17)
  • The debate exposes the subjectivity—and politics—of local media stardom, as well as each speaker's personal biases.
  • Memorable Moment:
    “He gets thanked at the end of every broadcast.” – Defending Gary Abar’s local legend status (04:09)

• Nicknames and Criteria: There’s a consistent riff about how local legend status seems to require a good nickname, longevity, or utility (ISDN backup coupler expertise, apparently helpful for radio emergencies).

---

2. Thanksgiving Vibes and the “Mailing It In” Day

Timestamps: 05:30 – 08:12

• Song Parody: Dan leads a musical turkey-themed parody, amping up the “mailing it in” energy of the day in a tongue-in-cheek fashion:

  • Quote: “The mailing it in continues in a way that’s embarrassing—this is the most mailing it in day of the entire calendar year.” — Dan (06:38)

• Team Updates: Jessica is set to join with her “Internet Minute” while Amin’s “F1 Minute” gets roasted for a lack of effort.

• Sand-Dirt Punishment: Dan does the show with his hand in a sand garden as a self-imposed punishment for lameness, which becomes a recurring source of mockery (07:07–07:26).

---

3. Zaslow’s Arachnophobia and South Florida’s Creepy-Crawly Reputation

Timestamps: 13:22 – 16:36

• Zaslow reveals his only social media blocking rule: sending him spider pictures is instant grounds for block.

  • Quote: “Don’t send me pictures. I’m telling you, it’s not a joke.” — Zaslow (15:04)

• The crew riffs on South Florida’s abundance of “weird, swampy creatures” and stereotypes about spiders (with comic detours into Australian wildlife).

• Memorable Exchange: “I punch my way out of here.” — Zaslow, threatening to evacuate if spiders appear in the studio (15:40)

---

4. Thanksgiving Food Takes

Timestamps: 17:48 – 18:39

• Big Mac's Thanksgiving: The show cuts to “Big Mac,” the Docmaster of the hotel, for hot takes on Thanksgiving food.
  • “I love turkey. I got turkey. I like ham and collard greens. Mac and cheese.” (18:11)
• Lays the groundwork for more food and holiday-themed banter.

---

5. College Football Playoff Committee & “Chuckle F*” Enters the Ring**

Timestamps: 26:36 – 54:53

• The Main Event (Bob Wischusen aka “Chuckle F*”):**
  Mike Ryan, Dan, and the crew confront Bob about his broadcast commentary on Miami’s place in the CFP rankings, accusations of bias, and supposed failure to advocate for the Hurricanes.

  • Why “Chuckle F*”?** It’s a nickname given by the Canes online community, suggesting Bob finds humor or levity when Miami fans want rage.
  • Debate: Should broadcasters argue against the Playoff system or merely document it?

• Bob Defends His Position:
  “It’s not my system. We’re just reacting to the system as the system is… We could do a broadcast where we yell and scream for three hours about how Miami’s getting screwed… [but] the system is they have to be in this three-team pod with Notre Dame to be discussed, to have the head-to-head take into account.” (38:22–39:31)

• Panel Grievances:

  • CFP criteria are lampooned as subjective, inconsistent, and disrespectful to ACC teams compared to the SEC.
  • Miami’s need to “rack up style points” is dissected as a byproduct of the system’s flaws.

• Notable Quotes:

  • “If you beat Notre Dame, I would think you’d be ranked ahead of Notre Dame.” — Bob Wischusen (40:29)
  • “The stupidity and how… we’re doing this, when you’re simply telling me out loud as a national voice… the SEC is shit as a conference this year.” — Dan (48:19)

• Inside Baseball:
  The crew accuses Bob and Lou Riddick of being “co-conspirators,” pressing him to show more on-air outrage and fight the committee with his national mic.

  • “It’s time to take sides, Bob.” — Dan (49:30)

---

6. Inside Jokes & Show Banter

• “6, 7” Joke Fails: The crew mocks a College Football Playoff committee spokesperson for botching a pop culture “6, 7” joke during a live segment.

  • “Six, seven. But seriously, Rich, we didn’t have any discussion.” — Wet sock CFP rep, hilariously missing the mark (29:26, 54:53)
  • Bob telestrates the comedic breakdown: “He almost seems surprised that he went there… He was surprised at how poorly it came out.” (55:48–55:51)

• Mailing It In Montage: Ethan gets roasted for editing the NFL “useless sound montage” and inserting himself into it:

  • “Terrible edit. I was about to give thanks for him learning… until he screwed it up at the end…” — Dan (23:16)

• Local Show Callers: Classic nods to Jose from Hialeah and other legendary callers, reinforcing the Miami-centric flavor (51:22).

---

7. On the Rise of Panthers Hockey & Local Sports Fandom

Timestamps: 58:00 – 60:28

• Dan asks Bob Wischusen (who was at the Panthers’ first game in 1993) to reflect on the evolution of South Florida’s hockey culture:

  • “Hockey’s as baked into South Florida as it is anywhere.” — Bob (58:48)

• The diversity of Panthers hardcore fans is celebrated, including Miami’s Hispanic community, as a sign of the sport’s growth and reach.

Concluding Tone

The episode is a quintessential “local hour” — irreverent, argumentative, and dense with inside jokes, media navel-gazing, and South Florida sports tribalism. Deep down, the banter and trash talk mask real affection, institutional memory, and the sense that, even on mailing-it-in day, these voices shape the Miami sports conversation... at least in their own minds.

---

For listeners new to the show, this episode serves as a microcosm of Le Batard’s universe: chaotic, self-deprecating, deeply local, and always oscillating between the serious and the absurd.

Wait, he beat you for that title?

[E]

I know.

[A]

That is my quarter deck right near the Panthers arena, but I see, like, it's got to the point where I'm. I'm not impressed by OJ McDuffie anymore. I see him there so much.

[D]

Did you have a ladder match to settle this?

[A]

Oh, there was a time, though, when every time I'd see him, I'd be like, hey, there's O.J.

[F]

Mcduffie.

[A]

But now it's just so regular. We just. We fist bump.

[B]

I produce Craig Minervini's radio show as my first job in local radio.

You're giving up. You're giving it up.

[B]

I'm giving out like candy right now.

[C]

You're being lenient right now. Scott Farrell.

[D]

Do the right thing here. Zaz, come on.

[B]

No. What are you, High Miami, local legend. No.

[D]

It was, like, not a long time that he was doing it down here.

[B]

No.

[A]

Are you just playing the game? Am I likely to run into this person?

[B]

No.

[C]

Maybe.

[A]

No.

[C]

Well, Tommy Tig was unsurprising to me because I think that he was partners with tommy tag for 12 years. So. Gary Abarth. Why did you laugh?

[D]

Do the right thing.

[C]

Why did you just laugh?

[D]

Contributions to the game.

[C]

A local legend. You can't.

[D]

What? Again, what is wrong with you? They put sports writers in the hall of Fame.

[B]

You gotta put in a local legend. Nobody knows you are.

[D]

No, they know who he is. No. He gets thanked at the end of every broadcast.

[B]

Oh, please.

[C]

Michelle Kaufman. Oh, no, man. You said. Been here for a long time. I know.

[E]

I'm.

[B]

I'm toughering on my standards a little bit. I don't know about all that.

[C]

Jessica. Jessica Blaylock.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Over Michelle Kaufman. Over Gary Abar.

[A]

I mean, I love Jessica.

[E]

Do you know Ball?

[A]

I love Jessica Blaylock.

[D]

Gary Abar is as solid as they can. He's a saint.

[C]

Come on. Michelle Kaufman has been on the market for as long as ira.

[D]

Well, if you lose connection on the isdn, you're not calling Michelle Kauf.

[F]

We love Jessica Orion.

[C]

You're not calling Jessica Blaylock either.

[D]

I'm calling one person and one person only. Maybe two. Where is the backup coupler?

[E]

Gary Abar?

[C]

Andy Slater. Auntie Andy Slater.

[E]

No.

[C]

Medellin legend Kelly Sacco.

[B]

No.

[C]

Damian Amendola.

[B]

Damon Amendalara.

[E]

Yeah. Amendola. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.

[C]

All right, it's turkey time, Greg.

[E]

Uh oh.

[C]

Gobble gobble. You know, I never, never welcomed Aunt Bonnie's ham. Competing main dishes need to social miscue. Cause my birds meet maximum now I'm kicking off my shoes. I gotta teach you. Cause, baby, I'll be barefoot in the driveway. An open garage door by the bushes that I fell in before at the El Turking off with my friend Roy. Yeah, baby, talk turkey to me. Yeah, baby, talk turkey to me. Gobble, gobble.

[E]

Gobble, gobble.

[C]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving. The mailing it in continues in a way that's embarrassing. This is the most mailing it in day of the entire calendar year. Put it on the poll at Lebanon show is today the most mailing it in day of the entire calendar year.

[A]

I will say Jessica's joining us later in the show. She texted me yesterday. This is embarrassing. What Amin did with Weekend.

[C]

It's unbelievable.

[D]

What?

[A]

He has an F1 minute and a Jess's Internet minute for us, so she's.

[C]

Not mailing it in. I've got my hand in the dirt as a punishment throughout the show. More.

[D]

What kind of dirt you got there?

[C]

More. I don't know, but somebody just asked me if I had a Zen garden here.

[A]

Like, I was just my dad's gift from last year.

[C]

It is. It's. It's more sand than dirt, but this is what they got me.

[B]

So definitely so annoying.

[C]

I've got my hand in the dirt. It's gonna be hard to type. It's gonna be hard to do the.

[A]

Show more like hand on top of what.

[C]

What Amin did yesterday is wildly embarrassing. Miller Lite should ask for a do over. Miller Lite, one of our best sponsors should be offended that an employee of ours did something so lazy on mailing it in week. He should go that far with it. No, he should offer a public apology. That's how far I should go. Because that was so. Such a lack of effort. It truly honored Stugatz. Like, it honored him in the most artistic of ways. I've got five football topics that I want to get to, including Dominique Foxworth saying the Colts have a quarterback problem, but I can't get to any of them because I need to know if Jonathan Zaslow believes that the sports brothers are local legends.

[D]

Ooh.

[E]

Wow. What a poll.

[A]

Save this one for video.

[B]

Good deep cut.

[C]

No, dos amigos, no.

[D]

What do you laugh?

[C]

I sense a trend here. With who? Zaz things. Legends and aren't legends in the market Fellow Ramirez.

[D]

Don't look at me. Look at me right now. Don't shake your head. Look at me right now. We're gonna have a problem. Me and you. Just know that. We started the show. It's been three minutes.

[C]

Don't do this fellow is a lot easier than Craig Minervini.

[B]

Yes, Craig, better.

[A]

He's scared.

[C]

He's just scared. He's playing scared. He doesn't even know anything about fellow.

[D]

I would jump through the entire glass right here like a. Like a missile to go get him.

[B]

I don't know that fool what.

[C]

He broadcast into his 90s, I believe.

[A]

Oh, the Marlins guy.

[D]

Rest in peace, fellow.

[C]

Jorge Sedano.

[B]

No, he abandoned us.

[D]

He abandoned us today.

[A]

This is a Jessica Blaylock is.

[C]

I love Jessica.

[B]

Abandoned us. Sedano identifies now with L. A. That's not a local legend.

[C]

The reason I bring all of this up is because Chuckle is going to join us. And I. I yesterday proclaimed Bob Washoes a local legend. And everyone yelled at me. I thought he was a local legend. He's a broad. He's a really good broadcaster. He's at the top of the game. He's doing some of the biggest events in sports. And he did a good chunk of his career here. Not a. Not a giant chunk. Probably what I'm going to say. Four years.

[B]

That's a good chunk. Four years.

[D]

A blip.

[B]

It's incredibly small chunk.

[C]

Did you not give any legendary status to any other people who had been here four years? Because you gave a lot of leeway to people who've been here 20. So let me ask you. Izzy Gutierrez, local legend, yes or no?

[F]

Yes.

[C]

Mark Hockman. No.

[D]

I disagree.

[F]

What is wrong with you?

[D]

Disagree.

[B]

What's wrong with you?

[D]

It's his. It was his birthday this week.

[B]

Give a shit what.

[C]

Whoa.

[D]

Whoa. Happy birthday to him. I don't care.

[E]

Good luck.

[C]

Ethan Skolnick, Controversial. What's controversial?

[D]

Hawk's a legend, man.

[E]

What do we do?

[A]

I'm a legend, but Hawk's not.

[D]

Hawk's a legend. A drive time legend.

[C]

He can do whatever he wants with his legendary status.

[D]

Oh, yeah, I see your agenda.

[C]

No, what's my agenda?

[D]

You know, at least you got the.

[A]

Hand dirt today on top of the dirt.

[C]

No, no. I'm shocked by the beefs that you are now soliciting throughout the sports world because of what it is that you're willing to do. Here. Ira Winderman.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Hal Habib.

[D]

Oh, that.

[C]

Why are you laughing?

[A]

That tickles me.

[C]

You can't. You can't.

[A]

He was there for my dad's 50 yard field goal.

[D]

Do you think a lot of people are tuning into the podcast today and being like, all right, not a good one today. Mailing it. Listening. Greg McElroy.

[C]

There. There are certain days I do for South Florida.

[D]

This is the local hour, though. You know what you're getting into. Larry Milian. If only there were local topics.

[C]

Yeah, I'm sure we won't get to them.

[D]

No, no. I have a whole new strategy.

[F]

I'm sure most of our audience is really, really just so upset that we're not getting another day of being pissed off at the College Football Playoff committee. I'm sure they're.

[D]

Jeremy, we're talking about Gary Bar right now. Please leg. I have a bold new strategy.

[B]

Already said no.

[C]

Brian the Beast London.

[A]

Now you. Now it's me talking. You be careful.

[C]

What do you mean it's. You talk.

[A]

I love the Beast.

[B]

I'm gonna say yes. Thank you, everybody. You say beast. Everybody knows that.

[A]

Is that they do a great nickname.

[D]

Not Michelle Kaufman either.

[A]

She needs a better nickname.

[C]

Michelle Kaufman does the Cough.

[D]

She doesn't.

[C]

That's not.

[D]

She doesn't have a good name. Here comes the Coug.

[C]

That is not a bad.

[E]

Wait.

[D]

I heard michael irvin.

[C]

Would have been career ending five years ago. The Cough is a great nickname if you want to be remembered. A terrible nickname if you want to be remembered fondly. I have been told here I don't know what's true. And we will get to the local stories in a moment. But I've been told that Jonathan Zazlon, he may have announced this at some point earlier in his career, but announced to his listeners on his podcast, The Zaslow Show 2.0.

[B]

There's no thoughts. Just as I show 2.0.

[C]

Drop the with the Zazlow Show 2.0 is something you can get wherever it is you get your podcasts. And I was informed that yesterday you revealed, perhaps for the first time, but maybe for the first time, for both our audience and the people in this room, that there is only one circumstance under which you block.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

There is only one. Do any of you know what this is? There's only one thing that will make the affable and friendly Jonathan Zaslow, friend to all, except for minorities who want local legendary status in the market. There's only one situation, and I don't.

[B]

Believe in blocks blocking people and well.

[C]

Except for this one thing you can do.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

None of you know if you send Zaslow any photos of spiders.

[B]

Dude, I don't even. Like, my toes are curling now.

[E]

I'm tell.

[B]

I'm. Don't play. Don't play a joke on me right now. I'm telling you, it's not going to end well for anybody.

[C]

We would not do that for. To you or around you. We would not surround you in an assortment of spiders. But I am just learning now. South Florida, not a great place. So uncomfortable right now, but South Florida, not a great place for you. We. We. We've got to leave. Oh, my God.

[B]

No, no, no. You can't. You got to take it down. You got to take it down.

[C]

We've got. We've got to lead the country in weird, swampy creatures that. That. That are scary. We must have a ton of spiders in South Florida. I don't know how we measure these things based on climate, but what would be America's leader in spiders? Any guesses?

[B]

I hear Australia is really bad, but America's leader.

[C]

Yeah, Australia spiders.

[D]

That'll kill you.

[C]

Those are giant big ones. Anybody?

[D]

It rains spiders in Australia. You're never more than eight feet away from a spider.

[C]

Put it on the pole right now.

[A]

I am.

[C]

Put it on the pole at lebaton show. Does it rain spiders in Australia? And are you ever eight feet away? More than eight feet away from any spider in the world? Yes or no? So this is legitimate? This is a fear for how long?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I'm telling you. Like, people don't. Don't send me pictures, because it's not even negotiable. Like, I'll block you, and I don't want to block you, but I'll block you, and then I'll never unblock you, and it's a whole thing. So just, like, don't send me pictures. I'm telling you, it's not a joke.

[C]

All right. We will continue to see if they get me more and more spiders here because his body language is shit, sir. Is this arachnophobia? Is that what it's.

[D]

Nailed it, Daniel.

[C]

But are you. Are. You're legitimate? Like, does he now. Have we diagnosed him with arachnophobia?

[D]

Because it's super nice to just put a bunch of spiders. This is so you. We're wacky guys afraid of spiders.

[B]

It's not. It's not a joke. I'm telling you. Like, if someone brought in a spider here, it doesn't matter if we're friends. Like, I punch My way out of here.

[D]

We should have the thing where Ron brings the animal. Just brings mad spiders instead of animals.

[B]

It ends with me punching my way out.

[D]

I'm halfway through spitting Chiclets.

[C]

Stugot has called 911 on a frog. He was terrified and behaved that way around Ron McGill when he came in with an assortment of spiders. Having just learned this, I will figure out what to do with it in coming days and weeks.

[B]

Oh, you got to take. You got to take it down. You got to take it down. Got to take the picture down.

[A]

Look how many eyes it has.

[C]

Yeah, it's a big one. That's a big one.

[D]

More eyes or legs there.

[C]

You think in Australia, they are as numb to their size spiders as we can be in this town because of the amount of spiders that we have in this town like that. They're numb to it. The same way a giant spider in.

[D]

A saloon open up their toilets. There's a crocodile in it. Like they're. They're grateful to see a spider.

[C]

I believe that's a stereotype that probably would offend Australia.

[D]

Every video that I've seen of a snake in a toilet comes from Australia. I understand.

[A]

And they're venomous down under.

[D]

There was one video that I was seeing where it was like a huge boa constrictor that collapsed a roof.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

And the guy's like, bam. It's breaks them. The brakes. They say it just like that.

[C]

Yeah, just like them. Put it on the pole at LeBatard show. Are there crocodiles in the toilets in Australia? As we continue to stereotype these people. Chris, do you have anything more from the Thanksgiving file that we have to dump out here? Because I want to get to a bunch of things today, and I don't want to mail in today's show. So just do me the favor of getting me the useless sound montage. Getting me also Big Mac, because you have a Big Mac. Another. This is like a weekly segment now where we go to Docmaster. Big Mac here, who lets everyone into the luxury else. Or nobody gets past him unless Big Mac says you can get past him. What are big thoughts this holiday season about the dolphins? I'm assuming it's always the dolphins.

[A]

No, Dan, usually it's the dolphins. Today. Hey, day before Thanksgiving, we're getting Big Mac's take on Thanksgiving. Big Mac's take of the day. Happy Thanksgiving.

[C]

Yeah, same to you.

[A]

What do you think of turkey?

[C]

Turkey?

[E]

No, I love turkey. I love turkey.

[C]

I want turkey. I got turkey. I like ham and collard greens. Mac and cheese.

[A]

You already know Big Mac's take of the day.

[C]

Mailing it in the the work of Chris Cody.

[D]

I mean, turkey, ham got collard, greens got Mac and cheese got.

[A]

Right there.

[C]

Yeah, Zazo, this time at least you stayed for the duration of the interview as opposed to walking away.

[D]

I was walking with Chris yesterday. He walked away from Mac and he was still talking. I had to like, look back.

[A]

Have you guys ever not done a stop and chat? You chat for 10 seconds, you keep it moving. Like, what am I supposed to sit there for 40 minutes?

[E]

Whoa.

[C]

Just while you're taping content Savvy is on part of my take.

[D]

What does he got to say? I mean, he's in the best picture of the year, in my opinion. Begonia.

[F]

I have an update on the crocodiles in the Australian toilets. Per Google AI. Per Google AI, they do not have crocodiles in toilets.

[C]

But.

[F]

But when I went to Reddit. Ask an Australian. There is someone who says that they have butt plug dispensers in most public toilets here in Australia. Just put one up your butt. It'll stop them from calling in. They're biodegradable. So of course, what did I do after that? I googled Australian butt plug dispenser on our work computer. You're at work, unfortunately. Doesn't seem like that's real. Just a comment on Reddit. Ask an Australian. Back to you, Dan.

[C]

So you just broke into programming with a comment on Reddit that were butt plugged.

[F]

No less real than any of the Google AI shit we've been telling you for the last year and a half.

[C]

Sound right here is indeed real off of your NFL football. It's the useless sound montage. And I am told, I am told just in time for this time of year. They're built ram tough and I think you should fear them if you are anybody who plays football in the universe. And I'm told that Sean McVeigh is the star of the useless sound montage and a rising star in general in providing useless. The most useless of sound. Gravy on a biscuit. I like that Nick thought he was game. He always is. I asked him what week it was.

[D]

And everybody said it doesn't matter.

[C]

Nobody wants to talk about numbers and records. That doesn't mean our guys, they just keep showing up, man. You can be down 21 nothing and you just keep playing. Talk about resilience, toughness staying together, guys.

[E]

Having each other's backs.

[A]

Keep playing.

[C]

Give credit to that team, man. They played hard through the kitchen sink at Us you're not going to come to Lambeau Field and win a game. Was like three yards in a cloud of dust. We talk about playing clean and we really gave them two balls there. Get up.

[E]

We were able to get it in there.

[C]

This team has fun and good football is fun.

[A]

And when you're doing it with good.

[C]

People that you don't want to let down, that's really fun. We'll get some reinforcements back at some point, but until then we got to hold down the fort. I thought our defense could have smiled in the face of adversity better. You know me, I kind of call plays for players. You get a hat on a hat and he's going to find it pissed off. We got a bad taste in our mouth the last two weeks and we should be.

[E]

He's not the, the perfect shape.

[F]

You don't play teams records in this league.

[C]

There's always improvements to be made by our players and, and some you can see, some you can't see. Any number of plays could have changed the outcome of the game.

[E]

And that's why we just got to live every down singularly.

[C]

Wasn't perfect by any means, but it was, I would say just enough. You can enjoy it for a couple hours, but really today's Wednesday in our world. This is the NFL. So this is what happens when you play a 17 game season. There's no silver lining in losing.

[A]

He always filled the multiple emotions after a game.

[E]

But winning is what matters.

[C]

I'll take that win. That's good. Win. Can't win the game in the first quarter, second, third, but you win the game in the fourth quarter. Man. One positive on that was the guys kept, kept going, kept punching and let's stay humble, let's stay in the moment. Let's continue to lean into our preparation. Donovan Jackson, I believe also had an ankle and a foot. Ultimately didn't do enough all three phases to win a game.

[E]

We're not going to apologize for winning around here.

[C]

It's tight when it's good on good particular when you're in a hostile environment. It's just like anything else. He's a fine wine. He's just getting better with age. Yeah, you like that one. Everything we need to do is right in front of us. But we got a lot of work to do. I mean this guy's going to the house and he's got the juice to make it happen. A couple plays away from winning a game. We all know that humility is only a week or a day away. Well, the fight I mean, it is what it is. We're. We don't. We want to. We don't appreciate losing.

[E]

Yeah, I didn't know it was 30, but that's. But the.

[C]

I'll talk to you guys about next week. Next. Next week. I'm here to analyze what just transpired.

[D]

It did feel like quite a while.

[C]

You know, I mean, I saw him.

[E]

Drifting in the pocket. I'm like, get him.

[D]

Get him.

[C]

Because if you can't make it on fourth down and one man oftentimes you don't deserve to win. The only thing that would matter is if the season ended right now. What a job by Ethan. I thought Ethan did a great job on though.

[E]

Wait a second.

[D]

I'm with that. Actually.

[C]

I like that a lot.

[D]

Ethan edited that.

[C]

I was about to come compliment him on a job well done until that dismount where he.

[D]

Insert that in.

[C]

He inserted himself. I was about to give him the rarest of things around here. A genuine compliment for having a good ear for what sound is most useless and why the sound is useless. He did a great job. McVeigh is a good press conference to rummage around. You'll find 40 things in every time that McVeigh talks.

[A]

And Ethan, like McVeigh, didn't say it the way Ethan said. You can hear how harsh the edits are.

[C]

Terrible edit. Like I was really gonna before the last part of. Okay. On mail it in day of. Of the calendar. I was about to give thanks an employee. Yes. Right before Thanksgiving. I was about to give thanks for him learning it took long enough and his dog is shit in enough places around here for him to learn the musical notes required for useless to be most useless. Until he screwed it up at the end by using a shitty AI version of Sean McVeigh thanking him for that edit. What a job by Ethan. I thought Ethan did a great job on though.

[D]

That was a bad edit.

[E]

Like, very harsh. Yeah.

[C]

Just asinine the way he tries to sneak into the show. We've got to get a standard around here that gets protected.

[F]

Folks.

[A]

Feel your game day with the unbeatable crunch of Hampton Farms, the official peanut of bowl season season. Perfect for sharing with friends, tailgating outside the stadium, or cheering from the couch. Grab a bag from the produce aisle of your local grocery store and savor the game one peanut at a time. Let's get nutty.

[B]

Don LeBatard I've never stepped foot on that campus. I if you told me right now your life depends on it. Go to Santa Fe University and just, just take a picture.

[D]

Stugats.

[B]

I would die. I don't know where it is.

[E]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[C]

Zaslow is legit uncomfortable. I didn't actually realize.

[B]

So much anxiety.

[C]

I didn't even realize. I didn't realize that he's not doing a bit. That he has diagnosable anachrophobia. So.

[D]

Arachna Arachnophobia. Damien I know what that is.

[C]

I'm sorry to him. I'm sorry to Zaslow and Damian Amendola. The thing that I wanted to talk about with last night's wet sock comes out and explains why Miami is now ahead of Utah. Why Miami is number 12 more than any of the minutiae involved with the stupidity of this month long argument, which is just the way to sell college football in the middle of the week on a Wednesday. If you don't want to be talking about what what Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan were doing last night, the polls have Miami at 12. They have jumped Utah now. And now because they're making it up as they go along. They're saying that Miami and Notre Dame is indeed in a tier where they can be discussed with each other.

[D]

Same tier.

[C]

But the stupidity of yesterday was this to me, after installing this wet sock to be the public face and voice of these stupid explanations, replacing the previous less west, less wet sock that was the voice for this. They clearly gave this overmatched person whose name I will not care to remember because of what a hood ornament he is on this stupidity. They clearly gave him the coaching of. Make a 6, 7, joke. Joke. Make a 6, 7 joke. Yeah, you'll kill him. Look, just get in there and you'll be really on the cutting edge. You'll reach the children if you make a 6, 7 joke. So here he is. They've given him the coaching. Look how poorly this car salesman does this.

[B]

But there was a change at 6, 7 with Oregon and Ole Miss swapping spots. How much of an impact potentially could it be on Ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field?

[C]

Six, seven. But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion. Hold on. Bring that back. I want everyone to watch this with me and just look across his face. He asked me the success question. I'm ready for this. They coached me up on this. I got the producers. Watch his face. It streaks across his face. This is where I get to make the big joke that killed and show them that I'm a less wet sock than they think I am.

[B]

But it was a change at 6, 7 with Oregon and Ole Miss swapping spots. How much of an impact potentially could it be on Ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field? Six, seven.

[C]

But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion.

[B]

He laid out for Reese Davis to laugh.

[C]

He called him Rich Davis.

[E]

Rich Davis.

[B]

He called him Rich.

[D]

Yeah, catch that.

[C]

Listen to the whole.

[B]

I was too stunned with what was taking place.

[D]

It was after. But seriously, like any great comic.

[C]

Watch, guys. Watch his face. The Smirk. He's got so much time to deliver this, and he knows it. And he's like, this is the pitch I've been waiting for since they installed me as the puppet in this position to make these dumbass arguments every week.

[B]

But it was a change at 6, 7 with Oregon and ole Miss swapping spots. How much of an impact potentially could it be on ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field?

[C]

Six, seven. But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion. They coached him up on 6, 7. And the. But seriously. But he blew it on the. Rich, he was almost there. He almost got to the finish line.

[D]

I think he was almost there.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Flawless execution.

[C]

Well, he thought he did. Look at. He had time to prep for that.

[D]

Dan. That's why you work smaller clubs before you really hit the big venues to do your hours. So you can kind of fix those kinks, throw them right into a stadium.

[C]

I don't think he was coached.

[F]

I really don't. I think that this is a guy who either has a kid, a nephew, somebody who he's seen do the six, seven jokes all the time. And when he. When he hears Rich specifically say six, seven, it puts him in a position where he goes, I bet I can make a joke here. That's why the long pause, because he's waiting to see whether or not it landed. And then he's so nervous that that's.

[D]

Why he calls him. Rich disagrees.

[B]

No, you're so. You're so off base here, Jeremy.

[F]

You did the same thing.

[B]

When did I do the same thing?

[F]

When you killed the six, seven joke.

[C]

Six, seven.

[B]

Oh, my God. I think by. I think by the way, I think Rhys Davis was set up to say.

[A]

Like, that's what I mean, the way.

[B]

Why would you say there was a change? Six, seven.

[A]

Nobody said. Nobody talks like Reese was trying to go viral.

[D]

Right?

[C]

You would dunked on.

[B]

You would say there. There was a change with the six and seven spots. That's what you would say. You know, there's a change. Six, seven. Yeah. So I. I think wet sock was told, hey, we're going to make a joke here, and we're going to pass it along to Reese Davis. So he's going to tee you up on your wet sock is a great.

[C]

Insult for someone who lacks char. Jeremy, I am a little stunned after Zaslo came after Tony the way that he did yesterday with your high. You're out to lunch.

[D]

I played myself.

[C]

You played yourself, Which I took offense.

[D]

To by the way.

[C]

Yes. Adam Silver doing nothing.

[B]

Ben Stiller.

[C]

You. Ben Stiller, looking like a fool. He just hit Jeremy with. You're embarrassing yourself.

[B]

I'm sorry. I mean, to be mean, but, like, somebody had to say it.

[F]

You take back the embarrassing yourself.

[A]

Yourself.

[B]

No.

[C]

So why are you apologizing? Why are you saying I'm sorry?

[B]

Because it was mean.

[C]

Okay, but you had to say it.

[F]

I'm used to it.

[B]

Yeah. I had to say the mean thing, and I apologize for saying the mean.

[E]

Look like a fool.

[C]

Zaslow is brave. Zaslow is. He's the only one in the country I've heard with this take, and he's doing it strongly. And let's get the graphic we now have for Zaslow, because Zaslo had a big victory yesterday.

[E]

Yep.

[C]

The. The fact. Tony, you're shaking your head no. Yes. The Carolina Panthers. No. Look, you get the same suspension in football if you spit on a dude's face as you do if you punch him in the groin with a cast. On behalf of Zaslow and general decorum, the NFL did the proper thing and suspended a criminal who should be charged with felonious crimes.

[A]

This is so. Like the fact that people who like punching in football are at zero. That's not true.

[E]

True.

[A]

For weeks, we ran up the score almost every week.

[C]

Recently. This week, if we started the scoring on Monday night, I'm not starting the scoring right now. Last week, Zaslow's up one nothing.

[B]

Today, the NFL has turned a blind eye to an epidemic in their sports. And finally. Finally.

[D]

So the.

[A]

Finally, you got a point.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

The account starts now. Because this is a precedent. Let's see what happens now moving forward. Forward. This is a precedent that has finally been set. It has been acknowledged. And that is when the ball is 10 yards away. You don't just get to punch people. That player has now been suspended.

[E]

All right, I agree with you.

[D]

But that's not your argument. Your argument is you shouldn't be able to punch the football. No, that's my beef with you.

[B]

That's not my argument. I've specifically said that is not that I am okay.

[D]

If you punch people for punches all the time.

[B]

If you punch. No, but that's because after the play, if you punch the football, that's fine. But if you punch the football and miss, that's not allowed. That's what I've been saying, Tony. So punch at your own discretion.

[D]

Chris Canti's on with Kevin Clark.

[C]

A game suspension is a serious thing in the NFL. If they give you 1/17 of the paychecks they're taking away. You saw Jamar Chase went from lying in the locker room to I'm so sorry and wrong. I'm so very wrong that I spit in Jalen Ran Ramsey's face. These are now equivalent crimes, and this is a victory for Zaslow. Zaslow seeing this punished this way. Wait a minute. You guys are going to both shake your heads at this?

[D]

Yes, 100%, because I get what he's saying. But that's more closer to punching after the play than an actual punching of a football, because that was not a football play. The ball was behind him. He wasn't going for the ball. He was just clearly trying to get even with Juwan Jennings or get one up on Juwan Jennings. That happened a couple weeks ago where there was a guy, I think for the 49ers or for the Bucks, that threw a jab at somebody, and I think it, like, hit an official, and he looks like.

[B]

And we're finally putting an end to this.

[C]

All right, Dazzlo may indeed be afraid of spiders, but he's showing real bravery here. Real bravery.

[E]

Brave.

[C]

I also thought Mike Ryan was brave yesterday in terms of spewing, um, propaganda everywhere and in his righteous rage, taking out shit, stirring Joey Galloway, who he called out by name Bob Washoes, and who I said is a local legend. And you guys disputed that. He's a local legend. I'm saying that the this man is a local legend. You guys called him Chuckle, and then you accused Lou Riddick of being his co conspirator. So, Mike, the whole thing is yours here.

[D]

You think I'm afraid to tell Chuckle to his face what he did? Chuckle knows, all right?

[A]

He knows.

[E]

I did.

[D]

I texted Chuckle as a broadcast was going on. Hey, Chuckle, what are we doing over here? And then Lou Riddick with the nerve the Tamarind to go to social media afterwards and say, oh, no, guys, I think head to head should matter. Well, it would have been nice to hear that on the broadcast as you carried water. How did those microphones survive with all the water you were spilling? Carrying it for the ACC and the cfp? What were you doing out there?

[C]

His nostrils are flaring. He seems enraged. He doesn't think this is funny. As you.

[B]

Hello, Chuckle.

[D]

I'm sorry, mister. I believe you're the voice of hockey. You know how much I respect and admire you. I've drank and I've had a beer with your face on it, and you know I love you, Pop, but that was bad what you did over the weekend. You need to make it right, you know?

[E]

You know, I could have. I heard everything you said before that.

[D]

Yeah, right.

[E]

Like, I heard the whole leave in. Not just that part of the leaving.

[D]

Yeah. Good. I mean, I'm courageous. What do you want me to say? It's one of my strong suits. Everyone's here. Wow.

[E]

By the way, I don't know who's in charge of fonting the show. Have I been fonted correctly? I can't see be. I'd like the full nickname, because the nickname is just. It's a chef's kiss. It really encapsulates me. Do you think so? I'd like that on there.

[C]

I've never thought of you as Chuckle. You are a serious person who can do levity but really respects the craft. So when he accuses you of Chuckle, I'm a little bit surprised because I find you to be, you know, a standard bearer for your industry.

[E]

I appreciate you saying that. I mean, I've known you for, like, 30 years, and I've known a lot of these guys on this show. Show. Through our mutual love of hockey for a while. This is the first time I've been asked on this show, and it's to let Mike Ryan yell at me. So I'm really sure that that's nice, but I'm willing. You can yell at me.

[C]

No, but. But what would be your rebuttal to what he's saying? As someone who was in this market, working in this market for how many years, Bob?

[E]

About three and a half.

[C]

Okay. And during a huge chunk during that time. During that time. That's why Z will not call you a local legend.

[E]

And he's right.

[C]

He says New York.

[B]

Yeah. New York legend.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

I don't care about New York.

[C]

But during that time, you saw enough, I think, of what happens around the University of Miami to at least think that what he's accusing you of there. You've heard it before in this market. Local broadcaster who goes up to national fame does the UM game, is now chuckling at UM scenario when UM is about to get bleeped by these wet socks who run the ncaa.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Like, my answer to all of this is, it's not my system. We're just reacting to the system as the system is. So, like, we could do a broadcast where we yell and scream for three hours about how Miami's getting screwed.

[D]

Yes.

[E]

And it would be like a South Florida sports radio broadcast. We could take calls. Yeah, I like that. Do you want to come on and talk.

[B]

Like.

[E]

Yes, we could do that.

[D]

Yeah, I mean it's only right since you guys were off the other end, on the opposite end of the spectrum.

[E]

No, we weren't.

[D]

Yes, you were.

[E]

We put up a full screen comparing Miami and Notre Dame and their resumes. We talked about the fact that Miami beat Notre Dame head to head.

[D]

But people don't know this.

[E]

We also, we also lived in the world that we had to live in on Saturday, which was, and this is, again, it's not my system. I don't agree with the system. I wouldn't have this system. But the system is they have to be in this like three team pod with Notre Dame to be discussed, to have the head to head take into account. Okay, how do they get into that three team pod?

[D]

They're in the pod.

[E]

Notre Dame. The only mechanism they have to get into that discussion with Notre Dame is to rack up style points and win convincingly. And they're playing a team that's below.500 that fired their coach three weeks into the season because they got drilled at home by Old Dominion and now they're only winning by 10 in the fourth quarter. They needed to win that game very impressively to move up. We wanted them to win the game impressively so they would move up to being a pod with Notre Dame.

[D]

I hear you, but it doesn't seem to matter when Notre Dame is up 10, 7 on NC State or just up 2 points against BC who has one win.

[E]

I didn't do those games.

[D]

I understand. Bob, Bob, you're doing great right now and I agree with everything that you're saying. But according to the cfp, they did get moved up to the same tier. They were directly compared and the CFP has just decided this year they're not going to count head to head as a primary tiebreaker. This is wrong. It's a strong.

[E]

But the way it was explained to me was it's a three team pot and they were like four or five teams. So separate. Right. So you couldn't, like the head of the CFP himself said if they get into that like kind of three team pod discussion then we will take the head to head much more into account. Which believe me, to me is ridiculous. Yes. If they beat Notre Dame, I would think that they would be ranked ahead of Notre Dame. And I think it's ridiculous to say it was first game of the season. Those games don't count.

[D]

I like this. You feel attacked.

[E]

I'm 100% on board with that. The other thing.

[C]

Thing.

[E]

And we talked to Mario Cristobal about this. What Is the message that the committee is sending to a team like Miami, who schedules Notre Dame, who schedules Florida, who schedules usf, who's turned into a ranked team. Like, why not play four Bethune Cookmans and just warm up for your conference season if you're not going to get credit where you don't get credit for those wins just because they're at the start of the season? I'm with all of that, but this is my talk show host coming out in me.

[C]

Oh, I miss him. That's why you're a local legend. Sir, sir, sir, sir. I dare say, I dare say, and this is a compliment, though it may sound like an insult, that Bob Washoes and was better at sports radio, that he is at even play by play.

[D]

He's the best hockey play by play.

[C]

This is no slight on his play by play.

[D]

You just watch it on mute.

[C]

No, I'm telling you guys don't know. Young was shoes. And as a sports radio host, the arguments that this man would make that he now mutes on television on behalf of the public, that of snowflakes that doesn't want opinions with their play by play guy, Bob, yes or no, Bob, if you had chosen that as the path, you would have been better for. If you'd done 30 years of that instead of play by play, you would have been better as a sports radio talk show host than you are at play by play.

[E]

I mean, I like yelling at people. I enjoy that.

[C]

And you're annoyed you came in spicy. Like you came in spicy.

[D]

I mean, I do have to.

[C]

We yelled at him.

[D]

I mean, Bob's like, all right, Mike, we're friendly, but we're not that friendly.

[E]

We're friendly enough where like, to me again, I should be fonted right now with the nickname. Like to me. The nickname is. It encapsulates me. Perfect.

[A]

Our video team's trying to keep up with all the F words.

[C]

Yes. That's where they are right now.

One you can stream your favorite live.

[C]

Sports so you're there for the biggest.

[D]

Moments as they happen.

[C]

For me, I cannot deal with spoilers.

[F]

So I need to see it live.

[D]

Especially on College Football Saturdays and NFL Sundays. With Fox 1 you get it all.

[C]

NASCAR, the MLB postseason edge of your seat plays, jaw dropping moments and that.

[D]

Rush like you're right there in the action. Sports are meant to be watched live.

[F]

And you can do that with Fox one.

[D]

Fox one we live for live streaming now.

[E]

Don Levotard the Hoy is Captain Slappy.

[C]

Stugats is this chum bucket.

[E]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the St. Gods.

[C]

I love that so far during this conversation Bob has complained that we haven't had him on even though we've known him for as long as the show has been on. And also that chuckle is sort of the opposite of of what his public Persona Is like, what you're doing there is disrespectful. Saying that he's on the broadcast, not treating it professionally because he doesn't agree with your opinion.

[D]

Whoa. No, he was. He was doing a great job for the cfp. I think the CFP gave him a pluses across the board. He did great. They went in with an established narrative and he and Lou hammered it home. Miami's got to win this game at Blacksburg by more points than they've ever won in this town. Because every time in my adult life, I'm three thrilled to win a game in that town by three scores, but I can't enjoy the game because I'm like, we gotta put up 50 on them.

[A]

They're three and seven.

[E]

Mike who? Mike Mario Cristobal. Knew he had to win that game by more. Yeah. There was 25 seconds to go in the game. Starting quarterback throwing passes on fourth down into the end zone to his best wide receiver.

[D]

I've heard that. But also it was a big fourth and two play and they needed to get that first down to seal the game. And they just decided to throw it into the end zone.

[E]

Zone that.

[D]

That checked two boxes for them. But everyone's like, they called a timeout just to run it up. Like they were also trying to salt that game away. Virginia Tech gets the ball back. They don't get that four down.

[E]

They were up 10 with 25 seconds to go.

[D]

Hey, that's plenty of time. They. They were. They were. That Beamer ball. Are you not familiar? They got an onside kick earlier. Game still in the balance, Bob.

[A]

But.

[D]

But I hear you and I. I understand the. My lament is that Notre Dame score 70. Well, I mean. I mean they're.

[E]

Why did they.

[D]

Lacrosse player out there.

[E]

Do you think Marcus Freeman wants to run out to midfield and shake Fran Brown's hand after 70 points on him?

[D]

No.

[E]

Like, what do you think he's saying at midfield? Man, I'm sorry. It's just like this is the system. It's not my system. We had to do this. I apologize.

[D]

Right.

[E]

Oh, nice font. See, that's exactly what it ought to be.

[D]

And you and I are in agreement that it's not right that everyone's going into these games thinking that they have to beat the opposition by a certain amount of points in order to keep up when the most obvious of tiebreakers is staring everybody in the face and that's bypass. We're talking more about quality loss losses then head to head matchups. It's crazy, Bob. And I'm so glad that you're on my page now and we can go ahead and correct this on the broadcast on Saturday and we can let the people know. Your voice matters, Mr. Chuckle.

[E]

Yeah, my voice does not matter a lick. I'm not a South Florida legend and the name fits and yeah, like, to me again, our job is to document the game. Our job is to document that event in like, the parameters of what. What is going on in the event, which is that the committee has said this is what Miami has to do clearly through their actions. Because, you know, you do not get credit for ACC wins. You get penalized more for ACC losses. Just look at the ratings for the ACC teams, right? Like this league, it is what it is, right? They're just not respected the way the other three Power four leagues, the way.

[C]

That you're doing this. Bob the sports radio host in you, okay, if we're going to make this about merit, not judging scorecards, this isn't gymnastics, this boxing, okay? It's not supposed to be judges, even though we've been doing it this way for a long time, the stupidity and how it is that we're doing this when you're simply telling me out loud as a national voice for these things. I understand the ACC is not respected as a conference, but no one seems to be saying in your position, and the SEC is shit as a conference this year. It just happens to have a reputation that makes it feel like those teams are better than Louisville and SMU when they're not. They're just in different uniforms, forms.

[E]

And again, that's an opinion. Right. And that's not the opinion of the committee. Right. So, yeah, I mean, do I think that the teams in the acc, because I've covered them most of the year, are better than they're given credit for? Yeah, I do. But again, you know, we. We can only live when we're documenting the game. In the world that the committee tells us is, you know, the parameters.

[C]

Well, no, Mike. Mike's asking you as a Miami legend to fight the power.

[D]

I'm asking you to change the world.

[C]

He's asking you and co Conspiracy, asking.

[D]

You and Lou Riddick to change the war.

[C]

It's time to take sides, Bob. And people who sit out taking time, they're on a side. They're on the wrong side.

[D]

This is war. War doesn't determine who is right. It determines who is left.

[E]

And if there's anybody that can move that needle, clearly it is South Florida media legend. Chuckle.

[C]

Thank you.

[D]

You get it now. This Guy gets it.

[C]

Okay. You just admitted something though that I was surprised by. In all of your professional journalism, you said out loud I was rooting for Miami to win big because I think.

[E]

To get them into that pod of teams with Notre Dame so they get the credit for that head to head win, which again, I don't agree with that system. That is the system. That's why we were. We talked to Mayor Cristobal during the week. He acknowledged that they needed to win these games and win them impressively. He even said, what do you say? That like at the end of the Syracuse and NC State game, he was thinking, you know, what am I supposed to do? Am I not supposed to put my threes out there when we're up 41 to nothing or 38 to three and then Syracuse scores a touchdown or NC State scores a touchdown against my third stringers and now we only won 38 to 10. We didn't win 38 to nothing. We only won 41 to seven. So he even acknowledged the world that he was living in and what he thought he had to do on Saturday and that's why he threw the ball in the end for zone on a meaningless play at the end of the game.

[C]

A lot of people. Are a lot of people accusing you of anti Miami bias or just Mike Ryan saying that you and your coach.

[D]

I didn't invent chuckle. That was created by the Canes community online.

[E]

Love the Canes community.

[C]

Okay, I don't believe you.

[D]

Yeah, I don't believe him either. He was very clearly rude in Virginia Tech.

[C]

I mean, he's coming here.

[E]

God, you are now. We are now. We are your local show hour where you're going to go to Jose and Hialeah next. And he can take, by the way.

[D]

He's got, he's got good takes. He's got good takes.

[C]

Hialeah. What do you mean by that?

[D]

Like you weren't cutting it up from J with James Franklin from Blacksburg for three quarters. That was ridiculous. I saw you pat him on the shoulder.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You liked him.

[C]

Yeah, that was, that was excessive. Letting James Franklin do that used car salesman thing for a quarter and a half of your broadcast.

[D]

You know what you do next game? You bring up Alex Mirabal from the sidelines and you just talk about the trend trenches and how we dominate the line of scrimmage.

[E]

Deal.

[D]

I feel like this is working, guys.

[F]

We're doing this for the 12th best team in the country.

[C]

All right, so Bob, do you have any, um, games left? Do you want to make any Requests.

[D]

Pittsburgh, I think.

[C]

Do you have Saturday? So, okay, so you want to give him anything, any requests so that he can. So that you want to get your propaganda in the mainstream and he is telling you that he is trying to do things according to the system. What kind of anarchy would you like to request?

[D]

I have a. I have a whole process. Anytime ACC people, broadcast, people are in town. We wine, we dine, we take him out to a steakhouse. We'll add two to the resi. I have Gorby, add two more. We'll get you at the steak table and we'll work him. We'll just lay out a couple of like practical arguments such as head to head. And then whether you know it or not, you've just been sweet talked into carrying out our propaganda. This shit works.

[F]

Those practical arguments include the two unranked losses in the last six weeks or do they not.

[D]

SMU is actually ranked now, pal. Check your notes.

[F]

The only team in the top 17 where that's the case.

[D]

Check your notes.

[C]

I feel like SMU is a good team. Like what needs to happen, Bob?

[D]

Playoff team, Stan, no one has gone. No one has gone. I'm talking to Jack. I'd rather talk to Chuckle. No one has gone into that stadium in ACC play and come out with a die because the ACC stinks. No, it doesn't stink. It doesn't. You stink. FSU beat Alabama.

[E]

There we go.

[D]

That's what I saw.

[C]

You know what?

[D]

That's great. You stink. For the guy who doesn't have a lot of. You stink.

[C]

All right, all right. Enough. Make that a T shirt, please. The ACC doesn't stink. You stink. I think we can sell many of those T shirts.

[D]

So did we.

[F]

I'm just. I'm just glad you're level headed. About.

[C]

Bob was choosing a voice of reason here. He.

[D]

Yeah, now look.

[C]

Now Bob, I don't know if you qualify for whatever the haughty standard of journalist would be, but you're aspiring to a higher standard of broadcast. So did we. You're aspiring to objectivity. Correct.

[E]

And obviously Mike Ryan's playing this right down the middle. Like clearly he is. He is Switzerland in this argument. But I don't know if they. If the Canes win on Saturday, that's four ranked wins. Because Pittsburgh, we all know what they're doing.

[D]

We all know what they're doing by.

[E]

Putting Pittsburgh at the bottom of that.

[D]

They're just doing this so that they can continue to jump Utah. I mean, it's ridiculous, the bias against the Big 12. It's unbelievable what they're doing.

[F]

Okay, that's what you sound like, you fool.

[C]

Nope, that's unnecessary. Jeremy, why don't you let him say that to you?

[D]

I'm not going to let them talk.

[E]

To Bob that way.

[D]

That was really rude to our guest.

[C]

Sorry, Chuckle, you fool. Six, seven. All right, let's play this for Bob with shoes, and then let's have him break down here. What happened here? Because I'm maintaining that this wet sock was given production help before the show. Doesn't know how to sell what he's selling because they just threw him into a position he's overmatched for. He sees that Reese Davis is asking him a question, and the smile comes across his face because he's like, I've got a pop culture joke that's going kill. And then he gets Reese Davis's name wrong because he's a fool.

[B]

But it was a change at 6, 7, with Oregon and ole Miss swapping spots. How much of an impact potentially could it be on Ole Miss if it's determined they don't have their head coach in the field?

[C]

Six, seven. But seriously, Rich, we didn't have any discussion.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

But seriously, Rich.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[D]

That's a good chuckle.

[E]

That's me living up to my nickname.

[C]

What? What? Break that down for us. Telestrate. What happened?

[B]

Yeah. What was your favorite part of that?

[E]

I. Well, I mean, Reese almost like. Or Rich almost laughed uncomfortably as if he didn't know that was coming. You'd have to think he would have been in on the joke. Right? Like, he's giving him. He's doing this, and then he's supposed to spike it away, Right? I would have thought he would have. He almost seems surprised that. That he went there.

[B]

No, he was surprised at how poorly it came out.

[E]

That might be true.

[C]

Yeah. One of those people is good at television, and the other person shouldn't be on television. They were trying to do the comedy stylings of how do we sell this made for TV thing to America? I know. I've got a six, seven.

[A]

I love that we're giving this guy, like, an opportunity that this could have been cool. Like, there's just zero. Like, you guys are like, if he said it different.

[E]

No, it was going to be awkward.

[A]

And weird no matter what.

[D]

Not with that pattern on that blazer.

[C]

What is the fairest thing to say when you're critiquing the fact that we are playing college football games violently and not actually doing this based on merit? We're doing it on some sort of formula that's subjective and meant to create argument as part of a month long buildup to what the playoffs have become, which is the second biggest professional sport in America. America.

[E]

When has it not been that way in college football? This is always what it's been. It's always been a subjective argument. Right. It's not objective. I mean if it was objective, the Miami wouldn't have to throw a touchdown pass with 12 seconds to go in a game that's over. So yeah, I mean the idea of getting to 12 teams and ultimately 16, I think we all know we're going there is that once you get at least 12 to 16 teams in the argument you've made critical mass.

[F]

No, trust me, I thought 12 would.

[E]

You hit critical mass where you've got at least, you know, you got the seven or eight best teams in there. And maybe that's supposed to say yes, we've got a true national champion. And we decided it on the field like that. Right. I mean that's like the NCAA basketball tournament. We argue for a minute about the bubble teams but then when that argument's over, we kind of forget about the bubble teams because there's 68 teams in the tournament. I don't know how many college football teams you'd have to get get in where the bubble teams would really no longer be relevant past that one argument. Maybe. I obviously don't think 12 is it. Maybe we have to get to 16. But that's the idea of this, that there will be objectivity once we get to the playoff. Because now all you have to do is win.

[C]

You broadcast everything. But when I say you associate yourself most which sport top of the food chain for you.

[E]

I guess it depends on who I mean in the New York I'm certainly associated with the Jets. I've been doing that for 24 years on ESPN. It's probably 50, 50 at this point. In the hockey community seems to have learned who I am.

[C]

The reason I bring it up is.

[D]

Someone modest Dan, like Bob Wishuzen on the Internet is considered the best guy going on hockey.

[C]

Okay, so this is the reason that I brought it up. I thought he was going to answer hockey. I was lobbing it to him. He and I have the same chemistry as Rich and the wet sock. But the reason I wanted to go here with him is because as someone who had three and a half years in this market, please give me the historical context for what you're witnessing from these Panthers. Because to have that be the organizational stability that flogs both countries in that sport. I'm still stupefied by it.

[E]

It's amazing, you know, and it's awesome. I mean, I was at Panthers opening night, like the opening night in 1993, so saw it from its very beginnings. We're all in this hockey chat. I've told the guys on the hockey chat, one of the things I think is the most awesome is I got a bunch of guys texting me who have like Hispanic last names, who are natives of South Florida, who are die hard Panthers fans. Like, that's proof that hockey is a product, is great no matter where you take it on who you show it to be exposed to it and you're going to see what a great game it is. But the fact that these guys are all die hard hockey fans I think is amazing. I mean, I remember the days where you went into Blockbuster Video and like there was a John Van Beesbrook tape that would go along with your rental where you could take it home and it would be like, here are the rules to hockey. This is icing. This is offsides. Like, you know, like, like the first scene in Slap Shot. And now, I mean, hockey's as baked into South Florida as it is anywhere.

[B]

You know about that two line pass.

[C]

Dan, you know about that Blockbuster line pass.

[D]

Imagine how good Pavel Bure would be in today's game.

[C]

What? Chris Cody, why were you laughing throughout Bob Washusin's talking?

[A]

No, because he mentioned the Hispanic names and Mike just started rattling them off behind me.

[D]

Jose Lasso, Chase Romero.

[C]

I didn't like the spice in Washuzin's voice when he took out Jose from Hyatt.

[D]

I didn't like that.

[A]

Play on for me.

[C]

I didn't like.

[D]

He's a good caller. Play out for you.

[C]

Play on for you. You should be the decider of this. Yeah, for sure.

[D]

How about you, Zaz? What do you think?

[C]

See you later.

[D]

You hate minorities.

[B]

I would have went with Hector.

[C]

Yeah. See you later. Good talking to you.

[E]

See you guys.
