Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction

Summary

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz Episode: Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction Release Date: February 10, 2025

---

Introduction: Handling the Absence The episode begins with Dan LeBatard addressing the absence of co-host Stugotz, who was unavailable due to a last-minute flight schedule conflict. Stugotz explains the situation and the decision to proceed with a solo Super Bowl recap to provide timely content for listeners.

Stugotz (01:35): “I had to do that one solo. So that’s what I did.”

Super Bowl LIX Game Analysis The hosts delve deep into the intricacies of Super Bowl LIX, focusing on the dominant performances of the Philadelphia Eagles against the Kansas City Chiefs. They analyze the critical impact of both teams' offensive and defensive lines, highlighting how Philadelphia's superior front significantly hindered Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offensive strategies.

Mike Ryan (06:09): “The analysis of the game is this simple. The difference between one team's offensive line and one team's defensive line is that... one team has both of us superior units. It's that overt to the eye where you're like, oh my God, they're just better at all that up front.”

Roy Bellamy (07:48): “I didn’t know that the difference between along the trenches was what it turned out to be.”

The discussion highlights key moments, such as Cooper DeJean's standout performance and the Chiefs' inability to effectively pressure Mahomes, resulting in their downfall despite previous playoff successes.

Dan LeBatard (08:04): “Patrick Mahomes has like the magic hand sometimes. And so you can’t pick against Patrick Mahomes, but he had one of the worst games I think he’s ever had.”

Broadcast and Halftime Show Critique The conversation shifts to the Super Bowl broadcast, where critiques are made regarding the handling of the halftime show and the integration of commercials. The hosts express disappointment over the choice of performers like Harry Connick Jr., questioning his relevance and the effectiveness of the opening number.

Mike Ryan (24:22): “He was the first voice we heard, welcome to the Super Bowl. And then they panned down... what?”

Stugotz (25:58): “I have four names of albums and you tell me which one of these was a Harry Connick Jr album.”

Commercials and Pop Culture Moments A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to dissecting the Super Bowl commercials and their impact. The hosts discuss memorable ads, including those featuring Tom Brady, Jimmy Johnson, and the recurring appearance of Seal. They critique the creativity and memorability of these ads, pointing out both successes and misses.

Mike Ryan (35:38): “The Ben Affleck commercial, Dunkin Donuts. Was that popular again this year?”

Roy Bellamy (39:06): “You can call it the Ben Affleck commercial. That was Jeremy commercial by the end of it.”

Game Day Anecdotes and Listener Interactions The hosts share humorous and relatable game day stories, such as the premature consumption of ice cream during the second quarter, reflecting on typical Super Bowl party behaviors and the indulgent nature of the event.

Billy Gil (43:40): “I think like 26 minutes after.”

Dan LeBatard (43:24): “I was in a food coma by Q3, I was like, I might as well just keep eating because I don’t have to stay away.”

They also engage with listeners by proposing polls about game day choices, adding an interactive element to the discussion.

Final Thoughts: Reflections on the Game and Broadcast In wrapping up, the hosts reflect on the overall experience of Super Bowl LIX, acknowledging the high stakes and the narrow margins that defined the game. They express hope for future analyses that delve deeper into tactical elements rather than just surface-level pop culture references.

Mike Ryan (27:38): “What we see is, oh, they can't get near hurts. And they're getting Mahomes every time, sacking him more without even bothering to blitz.”

Roy Bellamy (45:10): “I like to just swallow them with water and have them kind of time release. That's right. Coke. Coke Zero to wash it down.”

Shadow Show. Shadow Show. Shadow Show.

[Stugatz]

Shadow Show.

[Mike Ryan]

Shadow Show. Shadowing it. Shadowing it. Do we know the whereabouts of Stugat? Anyone?

[Stugatz]

Yeah, he's flying.

[Mike Ryan]

He's flying right now.

[Stugatz]

Yeah, yeah, he's flying. He said he'll be here at 9:45 or 10. I said, that doesn't work. Tape gobbles football at 7:30 in the morning. And he said, oh, we can do it after the show. I go, well, I don't think people want to wait until 2:00 for a Super bowl recap. So I'm going to have to do that one solo. So that's what I did.

[Roy Bellamy]

At least he was. He was at the super bowl covering the game, right? That's why he was right.

[Stugatz]

No, no. Lacrosse season has started.

[Mike Ryan]

So Stugatz is going to come in.

[Stugatz]

Am I the only one that knows this? Did he not tell anyone? I assumed that someone was. This was run by someone.

[Billy Gil]

I was aware that he'd be late today.

[Roy Bellamy]

Lacrosse went head to head with a Super Bowl.

[Stugatz]

Look, it was a week. We don't need to get into it.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to get into.

[Stugatz]

I want.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to. I don't want to get into that. I want to get into your week. I want to hear about. About Braxton Barrios flying up with him. I want to hear all of your stories from the Super Bowl. Was it a miserable experience? Did you not enjoy chasing stugats around? I saw more interviews. I saw. A God Bless Football YouTube channel has appeared. I suggest people subscribe to that. And I said, and I saw that a bunch of videos, 19 in one day, ended up on that page.

[Stugatz]

Did they end up there? I was, oh, we don't need to get into. I was wondering where some of those interviews ended up. I don't see them anywhere. But you know, we did. We go, we do work. We go and we do work. Except Friday we canceled all those interviews. Cause someone had a flight and he had to get out of town and everybody else had to wait until 7:00 for their flight because we didn't know what time his flight was at. So we could have moved up five hours, but instead we were just kind of walking around New Orleans trying to figure out, twiddling our thumbs, as they say. But hey, we're back, we're here. Don't worry about it.

[Billy Gil]

Did you do a Colin Cowherd esque show today? Like solo, just you, the whole time?

[Mike Ryan]

No.

[Stugatz]

No. So for those of you who enjoy godless football and the DraftKings, now we're gonna watch it tonight. This is what happened. I didn't want to wait until 2:00 to publish a Super bowl recap episode because I thought for the podcast listeners that was a little ridiculous. So I did one and Mike Yay was there, Fuentes was there, you know, kind of helping out. So, you know, we had a little, little threesome, if you will. Sometimes some people call it that, a little bit of that. But, you know, it's just kind of two of us talking it out. And then through the magic of production later on the DraftKings network, all of us will be there because we're going to do another exact same godless football after the show today so that we can get that out on the DraftKings network. But again, I was going to wait to get the podcast out because people aren't used to the podcast at that time. So I had to give it to the podcast.

[Billy Gil]

Good job.

[Stugatz]

You know what I mean?

[Mike Ryan]

We just had a meeting with Stugatz about being more considerate about his schedule. I was about to be proud of him for all the hard work that he did.

[Stugatz]

Well, he only considers his schedule. He's being more considerate of his schedule. Only his.

[Mike Ryan]

Can you guys tell me what you imagine for the people who have no earthly idea what the movie When Harry Met Sally is, what they made of that commercial? If you don't have any context for what that is if you don't do. When's the last time Meg Ryan's been in anything? Like, is there not a generation of people who don't even know who Meg Ryan is?

[Dan LeBatard]

I don't know. But last night, my dad called Meg Ryan Meg Griffin, and we all pointed and laughed at him. Like that one meme with the mannequins. That's Family Guy, you idiot.

[Stugatz]

I called Pete Davidson. Pete Wentz. Oh, I'm your dad's age.

[Mike Ryan]

This is how the aging happens. You guys have heard it happen to me here over the last five years. You just start misplacing names. But if. If you don't. If you haven't seen When Harry Met Sally and you don't know who Meg Ryan is and it's a mayonnaise commercial, and all of a sudden. All of a sudden, somebody is pantomiming an orgasm in a restaurant that you don't know. Risque for the time. Risque. Kind of for now, Risque back then. And I haven't seen a whole lot of pantomime. I haven't seen a whole lot of sponsors say, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna pantomime an orgasm.

[Billy Gil]

She worked in 2023, but before that, it was 2015.

[Dan LeBatard]

You think she should have had a real orgasm?

[Stugatz]

Is that what you're saying?

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Stugatz]

That's all Meg Ryan did. The same movie 50 times, right? Like in the heyday Meg. Like Sleepless in Seattle. When Harry Met Sal. Like, it was all the same movie over and over again, right? Rom coms, You've Got Mail.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, isn't Liam Neeson. All right, who makes the same movie over and over more Liam Neeson?

[Chris Cody]

Jason Statham.

[Stugatz]

No. Oh, I was gonna say not Statham or Meg Ryan. This is the Don Levatar show with the Stugats podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know why it is that I was caught slightly off guard by this yesterday, but America, enjoying that excellent team, exposed not just booing Taylor Swift, but taking what marks for excellence in America's most popular sport. Enjoying seeing it lose. I didn't. I'm not processing what the last three years has done for us in terms of football analysis. This one's easy. We can spend all the time you guys want on the pop culture of the game, because the analysis of the game is this simple. When the difference between one team's offensive line and one team's defensive line is that. And one team's defensive line and offensive line is that and one team has both of the superior units. And it's that overt to the eye where you're like, oh my God, they're just better at all that up front. Throughout the history of football, Pop Warner high school, college and pros, that team is undefeated, has never lost a game. When you hold the Chiefs to 23 yards in the first half and you score 24 points on them, that's not the Chiefs you remember. That's the Chiefs that figured out a way to win. And you cannot overcome. Not with Spags, now with Andy Reid, now with Patrick Mahomes. Those differences up front where they're giant differences and you're watching and you're like, oh my God, they can't get near hurts. And they're getting Mahomes every time, sacking him more without even bothering to blitz. It looked just like the Tampa Bay thing all over again. But in that game, Kansas City's offensive line was hurt. In this one, it just got ravaged.

[Dan LeBatard]

I mean, we, we covered this two weeks ago, Dan. It's Nick Wright's fault. Yeah, the Chiefs fans got really loud and really annoying. And there's nothing that people who are fans of teams that don't make the super bowl like more than to root against the fans that are very happy. And that was Chiefs fans for the last couple years.

[Roy Bellamy]

Just wish, I mean, we're speaking about it like it was obvious. I would have sounded so smart had I known that before the game. I didn't know that the difference between along the trenches was what it turned out to be. And I don't think anyone did. In fact, several people on ESPN were caught within a 24 hour span switching their picks, including Dominique. Like this was a hard game to predict. It was inside one and a half points.

[Dan LeBatard]

I do feel like the pregame analysis was like pretty spot on though. It was like the Eagles probably should win this game, but Patrick Mahomes has like the magic hand sometimes. And so you can't pick against Patrick Mahomes, but he had one of the worst games I think he's ever had. And, and like to some extent, I think that's what happens when a game spirals out of control that quickly. Like you can't run the ball a lot when you're already down 17 points early. So it was not a great game for the type of offense that they wanted to play. But yeah, the Eagles, just like they dominate, they mash them.

[Mike Ryan]

The thing that I found interesting because the coverage before the game was pretty much telling you Philadelphia's defense is exceptional, unlike any that Kansas City had seen so far in the playoffs. And we knew that Jalen Hurts is maybe Philadelphia's seventh best offensive player at what he does because they've got so many good players. But what we didn't know is that when you match them up, it would look physically like that up front. Like you could be watching the Philadelphia defense all season. You could know that Cooper DeJean is one of the best cornerbacks in the game and was all season. And I mean, that's the, that's the biggest white cornerback moment, pick six in the history of the sport.

[Roy Bellamy]

Name another.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I imagine there might be some in the 60s, the 70s, I imagine in the 50s there's something.

[Billy Gil]

But there was a Seahorn.

[Mike Ryan]

No, but that Seahorn got scorched in the Super Bowl. That's. That Seahorn might as well have been playing the entire game with a comb, a brush in his hair.

[Stugatz]

Wasn't there a Lynch?

[Mike Ryan]

That's John Lynch. Yes, there was a John Lynch.

[Roy Bellamy]

Thank you for clarifying.

[Mike Ryan]

Thank you. That was, I mean, it took way.

[Roy Bellamy]

Too long for you to answer that.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, because you don't understand why. You don't understand why wasn't there a Lynch. You don't know why it is. John lynch was a safety. He was not.

[Roy Bellamy]

Think Dexter Jackson had a bigger game that time.

[Mike Ryan]

The number of things that happened in that game, I'm not going to act like I'm unsurprised because yeah, the Chiefs were favored by a point and so the money was on the idea of, yeah, we kind of know that Philadelphia is better, but we're scared of Mahomes, which is how we've been doing it for about three years. And all season long, in all of those one score games, Mahomes was doing it. And then when he plays the Bills that don't have this defense, I mean, pressure with four wrecks everything. There isn't a quarterback who has played. There ain't one. I mean, maybe, maybe Lamar, because he can move away from it. Maybe. But if I get pressure with four all game, I'm going to beat all quarterbacks for, for the rest of time. Tom Brady, Tom Brady among them. That's how his undefeated season ended up ending. Just because the Giants could get pressure with four. The best team Tom Brady's ever had. Like if you give, if you want to tell me something in the sport that you could give me after quarterback as a, as a thing, I'd want pressure with 4.

[Roy Bellamy]

It's a numbers game. It tilts the math in your favor. You all of a sudden get to take what was believed to be a. A mediocre at best wide receiver core for Kansas City and you get to just stack more really good pass defenders as they've been as the numbers and advanced metrics bear out all season long. I just didn't think that that defensive line could go an entire super bowl without blitzing and just cave that that entire pocket in. Because you mentioned Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes is pretty mobile and every time he was trying to use his mobility to escape, there wasn't an outlet. They just collapsed the entire pocket around.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, you say he's pretty mobile and he is. You're right. He actually did some things in that game that were reminiscent of in Tampa when he's doing loop de loops because he's just got to run away from everybody. He is elusive, but he's slower than he's been. You could see the rust falling off him. If you've been watching that offense for the last five years, like, you see the differences, you see that their overt differences where they've got to beat you 15 plays at a time, they're very rarely going to go down the field the way they did for their first touchdown. But what you saw in that game, that is unusual because the reason I say Lamar Jackson is because he's the best athlete in the sport. Patrick Mahomes is among them. But those four defensive linemen were him athletically. Like he wasn't going to be getting away from them in a way. Like, these weren't fat guys chasing him. Like, these were not. These were. This wasn't just pressure up the middle. Sweat keeps coming over around the ends and they've got no answer for his wingspan.

[Roy Bellamy]

Sweat should have been mvp. And I say that as someone that was really impressed with what Jalen Hurts did. Sweat was just a demigod last night.

[Mike Ryan]

Billy, what did you talk about on God Bless Football? Did you analyze football or did you do the pop culture stuff? Because the pop culture stuff, the top of the list is Kendrick Lamar, right? It's the top of the list of. Of pop culture things that people were grabbing off of the super bowl to talk about.

[Stugatz]

If you think that I spent an hour breaking down Kendrick Lamar, you will be disappointed in God Bless Football this week. I will say.

[Mike Ryan]

What did you.

[Stugatz]

We talked some football, Dan. We talked some pigskin. We did some commercials. We did some stuff. We played a game of more or less Mikely. So, you know, things that we do.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. Do you not want to bring attention to God Bless. No, I do promoted correctly.

[Stugatz]

No, it's not that I don't want to bring attention to it. I just, I, you know, I have to walk a tightrope here so that I don't recycle, you know, the things that I did. So I don't want to do. But if you want, we could play a game of more or less likely real quickly, a little pre.

[Mike Ryan]

No, that's okay.

[Stugatz]

No, no, no. Because this is a good one. You're going to like this. You're going to like this. This is how more or less likely works. I give you a situation and it's more likely or it's less likely. So this was a scenario and we can discuss because you guys will have different opinions on this and you might have a different answer. Which is more likely, that Drew Barrymore has been on an MSC cruise or that Eugene Levy has ever eaten Little Caesars.

[Mike Ryan]

I like this game because the cruise, because the cruise.

[Stugatz]

I saw the cruise commercial and I said, I am never going to step on a cruise ship. And Drew Barrymore is just going to be hanging out at this cruise ship. Like it's very unlikely that this situation happens. It's called more or less likely because we have someone on the show that. His name is Mikey Dan. So the other one, though, was immediately followed up back to back commercials with Eugene Levy telling us about Little Caesars. And Eugene Levy never in his life has been to a Little Caesars. And I am willing to die on that. I am willing to go down with that shit. Because I don't think that he, even when approached, knew what Little Caesars was. And I'm basing that, yes, sure, on his character in the public and the way that he behaves. But I've been watching his show on Apple, Apple plus Apple, whatever it's called. And he's there and he's on vacation and he's in all these opulent hotels and he's visiting all these destinations and you can tell that his life is not one that involves Little Caesars. And there's nothing wrong with hot and ready pizza. There's nothing wrong with Little Caesars. There's nothing wrong with those giant heating microwaves that you have to go in and you have to put in codes and then a little door opens and you get out your Little Caesars. Nothing wrong with any of that. I just don't think that this is something that Eugene Levy has ever done in his life.

[Mike Ryan]

You've made that clear. The poppers looked delicious.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, I would be willing to bet he has had on set a bite of a Little Caesar's pizza, but he's definitely never had a crack. Crazy puff, right? Like, that's where I'm like, I really doubt that he would have had one of those. And also, his eyebrows aren't gonna fly off when he eats one if he does.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, that's less likely. There's plenty of Little Caesars in Canada where he's from, around Hamilton. This guy was a struggling comedian up and coming in Canada. I imagine there were a lot of pizza nights.

[Mike Ryan]

I just. I've got to tell you that I think Billy is coming in aggressive today. Super bowl week is a lot. Okay, so when he says out loud on a national and international forum that he's willing to die because he removed the hill and just made it. He's willing to die.

[Stugatz]

Yeah. Took it too far.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Over guessing whether or not Eugene Levy has eaten a Little Caesar. Ever eaten at Little Caesars? You're saying that this is blanketly something that he's just taking money to do? There were flying mustaches in one commercial. There were flying eyebrows in his commercial. There was a commercial for Jesus. And both Snoop and. And Tom Brady were in a commercial for hate.

[Dan LeBatard]

Well, while the biggest diss track of all time is being played during halftime.

[Mike Ryan]

So was Kendrick wearing the A. The details on this I need you guys to help me with.

[Roy Bellamy]

Check the Internet. It's pronounced Levy.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, thank you.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah.

[Billy Gil]

Did anyone catch Kendrick walking up onto the stage, like, behind. Like, right before they went to break to toss it to the commercial? I mean, to the halftime show. You see him behind Jimmy Johnson on their set, just casually walking up the stairs. Well, there's no way they wanted that revealed.

[Roy Bellamy]

You also mentioned Jesus, and he gets us. I love that he gets us, but he also doesn't get the meaning of that song. The same way that conservatives don't get Born in the usa.

[Mike Ryan]

Is that. Was that a Marilyn Manson song? Like which.

[Roy Bellamy]

There was a famously Depeche Mode. I mean, he covered Born in the usa. No personal Jesus.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, the ad for Jesus is paid for. By whom? Because Jesus isn't putting that out. Like. And I didn't see, like, a church attached to it. I just saw.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sure. It's who. Whatever lobbying group has been behind most of the Supreme Court case.

[Billy Gil]

There was some.com at the end of it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Bad way.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, well, let's talk.

[Billy Gil]

He's with us Dot com.

[Stugatz]

Immaculate Foundation.

[Mike Ryan]

So let's talk a minute about what it is that this whole thing was. Because the NFL does big so Very well. So gluttonous, so grotesque that. That. That Brad Pitt commercial before the game. So overdone, so overwritten.

[Roy Bellamy]

You gotta be careful there. Like, the reason why it was overdone because I also felt that a little bit, I'm like, this is a little over the top. And I also realized what New Orleans has gone through.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, of course. Of course, the coverage. And the coverage did a very good job of all of that. But when Michael Strahan is coming out onto Bourbon street and saying, you know, this is the time that we come together. It's what we do. We do around the Super Bowl. But football, taking and waving that flag proudly around itself while taking end racism out of the end zone and trying to navigate today's stuff while being the corporate entity that normalizes the idea that corporations do have to back down to the present president of the United States.

[Roy Bellamy]

Do you think that's what was at play? Or. They didn't want people making the observation that you have end racism in the end zone. While the seminal war chant is going.

[Mike Ryan]

On, the things that they do to package on Fox television are very smartly done. They used a ton of Tom Brady. Tom Brady was earning his 375 million yesterday. Coming out and doing skits and T shirts where my wife's looking at him and he's like. She's like, why does he look like a nerd?

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, he does. He didn't know how to tuck that shirt in. He kind of went in between. It was a lovely performance by Lady Gaga.

[Mike Ryan]

Tom Brady was not terrible yesterday.

[Dan LeBatard]

What?

[Billy Gil]

That's. I agree. That's. That's the take. No, he was fine.

[Stugatz]

No, guys, he was cut off mid sentence, headed into a commercial break.

[Roy Bellamy]

Besides that, I actually saw the value in Tom Brady having some of those restrictions lifted and being able to talk to coaches beforehand. I thought he brought some insight there, and I'm happy that a producer finally pulled him aside is like, hey, you've won seven of these. You've literally seen every situation. Let's have a little brief story every 15 seconds or so. Whenever there's a situation that you encountered when you played in one of these.

[Billy Gil]

It was a bar in the second quarter where he's just like, I've been down more than this. When they were down 17, nothing.

[Stugatz]

Fox debuted a new score bug to distract people from Tom Brady.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm with Billy. At one point, they were like, tom, Tom, what do. What do they need to do here? And he's like, well, the Chiefs, they need to get a stop and I'm.

[Stugatz]

Like, well, they did.

[Billy Gil]

It was a good point.

[Dan LeBatard]

But they didn't. And then the Eagles scored again and then it was over.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, look, I.

[Dan LeBatard]

$400 million for that. Chris, forgive me, your expectations are all just too low. So you're like, oh, that was than I expected.

[Roy Bellamy]

Was better. I thought it was one of his better ones.

[Mike Ryan]

It obviously was, but I am grading on a curve. She's also correct that it wasn't a good broadcast for a good broadcaster.

[Billy Gil]

There was only like one or two mistakes.

[Mike Ryan]

No. Well, no. When you're trying to say that Mahomes is superhuman and you keep calling him unhuman, like, no, that's not. That's. That's not. He was not good. He was good for Tom Brady, which is bad insight.

[Roy Bellamy]

Little cute line about Saquon bobbling the ball. I didn't mind my running backs doing that.

[Mike Ryan]

But you're right that someone got into his ear and said, tell the stories. Because when you're listening to Tom Brady say what it feels like to lose one of those games and that he cannot speak afterward because he's so shell shocked after they lose to the Giants because the Giants had the pass rush that Philadelphia had. Yeah, those insights were useful during the game.

[Roy Bellamy]

Greatest quarterback of all time telling you that he slept like a baby. The. The first super bowl that he played in, napped and everything. And then by the last one, he was nervous, couldn't get any sleep.

[Dan LeBatard]

He could tell you that in a podcast while someone else tells me what's going on in the game.

[Roy Bellamy]

I guess I've always seen more of the novelty and more of the. The value in simply the greatest of all time to ever do it. I've never had access to the greatest of all time during a game broadcaster. In the biggest games of all time. I've never had access to their thoughts like that. So the novelty. I do wish he were a little bit more charismatic. I do wish he was a little.

[Dan LeBatard]

Bit more like early in the game when it wasn't quite a blowout yet, just viabless. It was just a vibless open to the super bowl and I felt very melancholy and malaised.

[Billy Gil]

Anyone? Anyone find it weird when the referee started the coin toss with hi, I'm Ron Torbert, I was just like, why do we do they always announce their names?

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll, please. Juju, did you find it weird when the referee said, hi, hi, I'm Ron Tolbert.

[Billy Gil]

Just get to the coin toss like we're good. This is not about you, Ron.

[Roy Bellamy]

I'm your host for the evening.

[Billy Gil]

Hello, I'm Ron Torbert.

[Dan LeBatard]

I was like, wow, he might as well just announce his address because you know he's going to get doxed right after that opi to open the game. I was like, oh God, here we go again.

[Stugatz]

What would they do if old Ron would have then told us, like the law firm he works for right after, like, I'm Ron Torbert of, you know, Torbert, Istar and Green.

[Mike Ryan]

You don't think they would have done the same thing they did to the person who was. Who was arrested or detained for holding up Palestine? And like, because, because it's in the middle of the game, you do something.

[Stugatz]

I don't think it would have been the same. No.

[Mike Ryan]

I think you guys underestimate what it is that football will do to protect the sanctity of its sidelines.

[Roy Bellamy]

I mean, in this case, they just sent an old white woman to chase after somebody until he got off the stage and then was promptly tackled. Well, not even promptly. Didn't catch any of that. Shout out to the directors for cutting.

[Mike Ryan]

They do that so well. Honestly, like, I don't, I don't think we fathom how odd it is to have something that giant go out without like many hiccups. Except we weren't supposed to see Jimmie Johnson with Kendrick Lamar and Tom Brady still talking as they go to break. Like, the perfection of these things on the details are. Are like truly staggering to, to imagine just the size and scope of what the NFL does best, which is what they do best is that is Giant is gluttonous. And in that respect, I suppose they can wave the flag on behalf of being of like a greedy, gluttonous America that spends its Sunday, you know, gorging itself in an American holiday that everyone's a little hungover on today. I can't imagine how bad that's. That flight that Stugatz is on the red eye, how bad that smells.

[Stugatz]

And it's from Chicago. It's from totally different cities.

[Roy Bellamy]

Still Super Bowl Monday.

[Mike Ryan]

It's still Super Bowl Monday.

[Dan LeBatard]

Tony, how much Gardnera they eat in Chicago on Super Bowl Sunday?

[Mike Ryan]

Billy, how are you doing this? Billy, where you think the plane's out of Chicago Sunday?

[Roy Bellamy]

Malort farts. Have you ever had. You ever have a malort fart?

[Billy Gil]

What the hell is Harry Connick Jr. Doing at the opening ceremony?

[Roy Bellamy]

You know, he's famously from the area.

[Billy Gil]

That's all it takes to be the, like walking in the super bowl to us. I'm from New Orleans.

[Stugatz]

Yeah.

[Roy Bellamy]

Are you not familiar with how this goes. Let there be a Super bowl in Miami. In case you try.

[Billy Gil]

I guarantee you Harry Connick Jr. Was like, I'd like to go to this Super Bowl. And they're like, you know what we want. You're from New Orleans. Oh, you can lead it. You can be the opening. It's ridiculous. When's the last time he did anything?

[Mike Ryan]

He's a legend.

[Roy Bellamy]

That's how.

[Billy Gil]

Legendary.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yes.

[Stugatz]

Legend.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah. Harry Connick Jr. Is, especially to the area, kind of.

[Stugatz]

I had a conversation with an Uber driver about Harry Connick Jr. Because we were hearing how he was, like, at the Kelsey party and all this stuff. The Uber driver's like, you know, his dad was famously a d. A here for 20 years. I'm like, I didn't know that. Why would I know that? Like, was he any good? I'm like, yeah, yeah, he was a good, good DA Which I don't know. Who keeps, like, rankings of their local.

[Dan LeBatard]

Controversy tab on his Wikipedia page? Harry Potter.

[Stugatz]

Uh. Oh, all right, well, let's. So, okay.

[Billy Gil]

I'm not.

[Dan LeBatard]

Misconducts and innocence on death row is a subhead.

[Stugatz]

Oh, he was not a good day. I'm glad we're here. I'm glad we're here the day after the super bowl to talk about Harry Connick senior And his record as a.

[Billy Gil]

DA if they put him in some part of the broadcast or show him he's from, like, of course. But it's just like, he was the first voice we heard, welcome to the Super Bowl. And then they panned down, and I'm just like, what?

[Stugatz]

I'm with Chris in that. Like, I feel like if you were to have a quiz and you were like, is this a Harry Connick Jr movie or is it not? Or is this a Harry Connick Jr. Song or is it not? I think people. I don't think people would do very well on that quiz. I don't think that people would get, like, passing. I think C is the best anyone in this room could do in terms of what has Harry Connick Jr. Done besides be Harry Connick Jr.

[Mike Ryan]

So please help me if you would, at Lebatard show, put it on the poll. Juju, is Harry Connick Jr. Indeed a legend?

[Roy Bellamy]

And have you ever had a malort fart?

[Mike Ryan]

I know that's not what I would have. I would have said that if that's what I wanted on the poll. You don't get to just come in here and put that on the poll. I am confused, though, why it is that Billy thinks that A plane coming out of Chicago after the super bowl is going to smell any better than a plane coming out of any other New Orleans.

[Stugatz]

I mean, it's, you know, people are. A plane out of Philadelphia today would be.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, so let's think about this for a second. So. So which do you imagine to be the foulest smelling playing today? The red eye out of blank.

[Billy Gil]

Well, it has to be where the.

[Roy Bellamy]

Super bowl was and which area famously has Malort.

[Mike Ryan]

You say this, Chris, but I'm not sure that the being at the super bowl is more debaucherous than being in your home eating everything you're eating in your home on a Sunday.

[Roy Bellamy]

Half of one of those Carvel football cakes.

[Mike Ryan]

Super Bowl Sunday has become Thanksgiving, has it not? In terms of what it is that you do to your body with the eating. Like it's become. It's become a second Thanksgiving, has it not? Like in terms of how Stu guys has been arguing for years that this day should be off, that they should have Super Bowl Saturday so that everybody can recover on Sunday from the foul, foul things they did. Mourning the end of the football season. Celebrating and mourning. That's what the Super Bowls, by the way, used to be like. Before all the games were close in football, like it used all the time for many, many years. We complained about how shitty the super bowl was and no one seems to even remember that because all of a sudden all the games in football are close. So yesterday's happened and you're like, oh, this isn't as fun at halftime.

[Roy Bellamy]

It's the biggest SA kicking since when? I know Buck Chiefs was a bit of an ass kicking since that same.

[Dan LeBatard]

Eagles defense played against TCU in the national championship game three years ago.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, I guess Seahawks, Broncos was also like a bit of an ass kicking. But that was. I mean, I just kept hopping on Eagles live. It was obvious from the jump.

[Stugatz]

All right, quick quiz here. I have four names of albums and you tell me which one of these was a Harry Connick Jr album.

[Dan LeBatard]

He's a singer.

[Stugatz]

Yeah. Was it off the deep end? Even worse. Mandatory fun or bad hair day?

[Roy Bellamy]

Bad hair day.

[Stugatz]

Wrong. Those were all Weird Al Yankovic albums.

H-E-L-P.com DLB Don Levitard Common thread was Stugach chumming it up with Aaron Rodgers.

[Billy Gil]

I met my quarterback.

[Roy Bellamy]

As you know. As you know, Stugots didn't talk to Aaron Rodgers.

[Mike Ryan]

Nope.

[Roy Bellamy]

Scots thought country music superstar Jake Owen was Aaron Rodgers. They had a 20 minute conversation.

[Billy Gil]

Identical twins. I mean, Jesus, Stugats. Listen, I will never have the relationship with Aaron Rodgers that I have with the guy that I thought was Aaron Rogers.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean that is the greatest conversation.

[Billy Gil]

I've ever had with my quarterback.

[Stugatz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Roy Bellamy]

It wasn't just Harry Connick Jr. And no, he wasn't the first voice that we heard that was like three hours into their broadcast opening number. Master P was also out there. There was a which marching band was out there? Was it Southern?

[Billy Gil]

Right?

[Roy Bellamy]

It was. It was a tie in to all the local music.

[Billy Gil]

I'm glad you mentioned Master P because he was just shown there's Master P walking in. He said Harry Connick Jr. Was like leading. Like it was just so.

[Mike Ryan]

But what he was leading. All right, just to be clear, this started at about 6pm and the game is at 6:30.

[Roy Bellamy]

He wants to hop up on there and tickle some ivories. Go ahead, brother.

[Dan LeBatard]

Also, 36 men convicted in Orleans Parish during Connick's 30 year tenure as DA have made allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and 19 have had their sentences overturned or reduced as a result.

[Mike Ryan]

This is how we ruin everything.

[Dan LeBatard]

This is a bad track digging into.

[Mike Ryan]

The past of Harry Connick Jr's father. Can't we just enjoy ourselves for just a moment before we get to the bad behavior that he descends from? I want to know from the audience because I believe New Orleans to be a great American city and I think there are very few of them. I don't know, would you guys say there are five of them Like, I.

[Roy Bellamy]

Think there are five cities in America that are really good and perhaps even more.

[Mike Ryan]

Now, hold on a second. Great American city bones. The bones of the buildings have a certain history that when I tell you his father was a D.A. you can imagine that time in New Orleans. Because Harry Connick Jr. Represents a symbol from a place like this, is a place that's proud to recover from things when the cemeteries are above ground there. It's a haunted, wonderful, dark, light city.

[Roy Bellamy]

It's also very French. So I don't know if. Does that make it an American. A great American city? Because it's like, aggressively French?

[Mike Ryan]

How many great American cities would you guys say there are? Are there five? Like, where they're. Because I'm talking about things where the architecture has a. And what it is that Harry Connick Jr. Means to those people that I think you're disrespecting. When you guys speak of a non New Orleans attitude, which I understand in not knowing who Harry Connick Jr. Is, but I think you're just being disrespectful of what he represents to a region.

[Billy Gil]

Represents to a. I think most people.

[Stugatz]

Don'T care about Harry Connick Jr. What are we talking?

[Roy Bellamy]

Shot at Harry Connick Jr. No, I.

[Billy Gil]

Didn'T even know about his dad. If I knew he was a nepotism baby, I would have supported him. Well, no, I'm just learning about his dad.

[Stugatz]

Well, he's not technically a nepo baby because he didn't become a D A yet.

[Billy Gil]

Right.

[Roy Bellamy]

But foot in the door.

[Billy Gil]

Honestly, I'm not ripping that he is known for this area, but it's just like, there has to be more to the qualification than you're from New Orleans.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Billy Gil]

When the super bowl was here, Trick Daddy wasn't our, like, number one person out. It was just like, trick daddy's here. He's from Miami. Yes, but it's like, he doesn't need to be the first singer. At 6:20. When I'm tuning in, my daughter's like, who is this? I'm like, It's Harry Connick Jr.

[Roy Bellamy]

They've trotted out Gloria Stefan. It's a time honored tradition.

[Dan LeBatard]

Didn't the Rock do a whole thing at the last Miami Super Bowl?

[Stugatz]

No, that was la la. Yeah, He. He needs.

[Dan LeBatard]

Are you sure?

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, I don't know if he did it at both, but he did the one. The one in L. A. He did. Among the pop culture items around the Super Bowl, Nike Airs its first Super bowl ad in 27 years. I don't know who won creatively? I have not checked the Internet. The. The Ben Affleck commercial, Dunkin Donuts. Was that popular again this year?

[Roy Bellamy]

You can call it the Ben Affleck commercial. That was Jeremy commercial by the end of it.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay. Bill Belichick was in that commercial. Was. Was his girlfriend also in the commercial? Who was that next?

[Roy Bellamy]

It was.

[Mike Ryan]

Really?

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

That's an interesting thing.

[Roy Bellamy]

It was a very young brunette.

[Mike Ryan]

And. And who. Who won yesterday? See, the seal commercial was super weird. The cowboy flesh hat commercial was super weird.

[Dan LeBatard]

There was a lot of body horror with the. With the cowboy flesh hat and the. And the flying eyebrows and mustaches.

[Stugatz]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Did any of you do the Bill Murray journey excursion when he gave you his email on. None of you did it? Non cared to do it.

[Roy Bellamy]

Didn't even know he gave it.

[Billy Gil]

Yeah, I didn't see that one.

[Roy Bellamy]

Was that midway through the third. When did Bill Murray give me his email? That was the thing.

[Billy Gil]

I missed that one.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, he gave me his email and I missed it.

[Dan LeBatard]

No, that's someone farting on a plane from Chicago.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah.

[Stugatz]

Don't look up his past either. Jeez.

[Roy Bellamy]

He was mean to me one time when it was understandable, though.

[Mike Ryan]

So yesterday do.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, Dan's like, oh, he. There's like 17 people at this Marlins Cubs game. Bill Murray's there. We'll give somebody a prize if. If they get Bill Murray on the show. And someone got Bill Murray to me. And then I was vetting Bill Murray, and Bill Murray was very offended that I was vetting Bill Murray, and so he decided to not come on when it was 100% Bill Murray.

[Billy Gil]

What do you ask?

[Stugatz]

It was like a Bill Murray mask. What happened?

[Roy Bellamy]

No, no, I was like. It didn't really sound all that much like Bill Murray, so I was just like, whoa. On the VB I'm like, what'd you just work on? He's like, I just rapped on City of Ember. Like, why are we doing this? I'm trying to watch the game.

[Mike Ryan]

That story's amazing, and I totally forgotten it. So you're saying that as a call screener, we got somebody to go up to Bill Murray at the Marlins game and call our show, and because you were the call screener, you were quizzing Bill Murray on whether he's Bill Murray when we'd interrupted. Interrupted Bill Murray to hand him a phone during the game.

[Roy Bellamy]

Look, in my defense, I think I was meeting it with perhaps just a little bit more scrutiny than I should have. But, you know, I was just making sure that this Person didn't get a free 790 the ticket.

[Billy Gil]

If only you had the Chris Cody judgment, you would. Just rolled the dice. Sounds like I'm good to go.

[Mike Ryan]

None of you, none of you did this. Because I found myself doing this with Bill Murray and I thought that this was creative. What it is that they tried to do, which is send you to an email address so that it feels like you're emailing with Bill Murray where he's including videos and you're just. You're going on a much longer journey than the 32nd commercial. But I'm on the record as saying that all of these things, none of the products stick with me. I remember the commercials, but not the products. It's something that I done all my life. Sometimes I'll remember a competing product because my mind doesn't like it doesn't absorb whatever it is that advertising is supposed to do there. The way that it reaches other people, I think, because this has never. Whenever I talk to you guys about this, it doesn't happen to you. All of you guys would know that the When Harry Met Sally commercial was a mayonnaise commercial, and you'd know the mayonnaise. Correct. Like you would like. Not everyone can do that. I'm particularly poor at it. Like, I. And especially when they put the name of the company right at the end where I don't even know what the ad is for the whole time. I'm not the only one this happens to. Right. Where I don't. Where I'm questioning after 30 seconds, why did you advertise like that if all you're doing is telling me your product at the end? And by that point, I don't care.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, I mean, Roy's very good at knowing these commercials. I don't think you're. You're alone in that. I barely remember the commercials. I know the seal was for Mountain Dew. Right.

[Mike Ryan]

That was wonderfully weird. I love that everyone took that chance to just be memorable because you're weird. Make Seal a seal.

[Billy Gil]

I feel like that has to get pitched to him every year. And he finally was just like, you know what? This is the year.

[Stugatz]

This is the year that he's like, I guess my career is at the point where I'm pretending to be a seal.

[Billy Gil]

Every other year. It's like, no. Whoever his agent is, hey, enough with that.

[Mike Ryan]

It is such a good visual that every year his marketing team, which keeps shrinking, is bringing him the ad and he's like, fine, Fine.

[Dan LeBatard]

Seal's agent answers the phone every year. He's Hi, this is Seal. No, he will not be a Seal.

[Roy Bellamy]

Do you know how many Flex Seal commercials I've turned down? They wanted me to sit on a boat with a glass door that was just held together by Flex Seal. I said no. I wrote Kiss from a Rose.

[Stugatz]

All right, I have four more here. Don't be stupid. Polka party running with scissors or poodle hat.

[Roy Bellamy]

Polka party is definitely Harry Connick Jr.

[Stugatz]

Those are all Weird Al again. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

It was a great trick, Billy. It was wonderful. It's a good trick once, Billy. It was a good trick once, but it was. It was such a good trick, at least in part, because you needed to have the immediate response. And your glee in jumping in and correcting him was such that it made me wonder whether I want to talk about Harry Connick Jr. Anymore, because I'm likely to get embarrassed somewhere here.

[Stugatz]

Oh, whoa.

[Mike Ryan]

Because I don't know. Because I don't know the details of why or something. I don't know the details of why it is that he's a legend in New Orleans. I just know the way.

[Roy Bellamy]

Hold on. Harry Connick Jr. Is very accomplished. Right. I imagine an awards section of his Wikipedia that feels like it would be vast. Just because when I grew up.

[Dan LeBatard]

Not a lawsuit section like his dad's.

[Roy Bellamy]

There was a. He would. He was a fixture at all these Grammy awards because of the style of music, the adult contemporary stuff that he did. Like, he was just dominating certain genres of music that maybe we didn't grow up listening to, but he's certainly an icon for that region.

[Billy Gil]

I know him as Will Smith's friend in Independence Day.

[Roy Bellamy]

He knocked that out of the park. He did.

[Billy Gil]

That was a good role. Nice little roll.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to get to Tom Brady's watch in a second, because the watch. Everybody really noticed that this was a. And I. And you guys will have to explain this to me. If you had that money, do you think you would spend that much on a watch? Do any of you like watches that much that you would spend between $500,000 and $750,000? Luca was doing this as well. Right, Luca? Everybody noticed at the initial press conference, and what's happening around Luca is amazing. Where death threats are going into Dallas. Anthony Davis is out injured. He was great for the first half, and now he's injured immediately. And the Dallas franchise, speaking of Nepo babies, their owner came out for the first time and said that Luke, they don't want around the Mavs someone who doesn't try hard all the time and isn't Going to be, you know, know, somebody who's ready to work hard. We don't want you in the Mavs organization if you're that. And then many people have pointed out, but you're the person who took the Las Vegas Sands. You married into that family, you became the CFO of the Las Vegas Sands, and then you became the CEO, and the market cap fell $7 billion on your watch. The watch. $7 billion. And so a whole lot of people are just enraged at about the echoes of what doing that in the middle of the night felt like to the Dallas Mavericks.

[Roy Bellamy]

We. So we've moved on to round ball.

[Stugatz]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

No, not yet.

[Roy Bellamy]

So really terrible Super Bowl.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna move on to round.

[Dan LeBatard]

Ball, but Tim Robinson commercials with Sam Richardson were the best ones. The totino was pizza rolls with the little alien. Those are my favorite. Yeah, you didn't see that was it.

[Billy Gil]

Second half, I kind of checked out.

[Dan LeBatard]

I honestly. Honestly, I don't even know. I watch it on YouTube after the game.

[Mike Ryan]

It sounds like you guys checked out. It sounds like you guys wandered away from the televisions is what it sounds like to me.

[Roy Bellamy]

I was parked in front of the tv. But, you know, the second half, I was just checking my phone.

[Dan LeBatard]

I was in a food coma. By Q3, I was like, I might as well just keep eating because I don't have to stay away.

[Billy Gil]

I got to ice cream way too early in the game. I got to like ice cream. Like, second quarter. That's never good. Never good.

[Dan LeBatard]

Terrible choice.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Lebatard show. Are you doing it all wrong if the ice cream is in the second quarter?

[Roy Bellamy]

Way too early?

[Mike Ryan]

Man, that's a good.

[Billy Gil]

I ate a chicken wing after ice cream.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, sometimes you want.

[Billy Gil]

Okay, there was, like, a half hour gap, but, like, I went to ice cream in the second quarter.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yeah, I know what's going on.

[Stugatz]

You do? Yeah, I do.

[Mike Ryan]

We all do. Yeah.

[Roy Bellamy]

You want. You want the salty, then the sweet, and then. God, after the sweet. You want the salty again? No, I budgeted my. My appetite for. Look, I'm gonna have the main meal. Yeah. Then I'm gonna have the dessert. Then I'm gonna want a little something salty. But then I'm gonna want a little something sweet again. And then to bring it all together, a little salty with the sweet. That's right. Coke. Coke Zero to wash it down.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Le Batard show. Would you ever have a chicken wing immediately after ice Cream immediately is misleading. I'm gonna do immediately. I'm just. Look, it's disgusting either way. You can put the time separation in there if you want.

[Billy Gil]

I think like 26 minutes after.

[Dan LeBatard]

What was the score when you ate the ice cream? And what was the score when you ate the chicken wing?

[Billy Gil]

It was a blowout. That's why I was like, man, man, this is a. This is a bad game. I need some ice cream.

[Roy Bellamy]

Stop trying to apply your societal rules against some munchies.

[Mike Ryan]

It's just. It.

[Roy Bellamy]

Look, we will not conform.

[Mike Ryan]

No, you can, look, you can have the munchies.

[Billy Gil]

You gotta go outside before the halftime show. So when you come back inside from that, you're like, oh, I'm hungry.

[Mike Ryan]

Again, what you can have and why.

[Roy Bellamy]

Are you going outside for the halftime. To establish the munchies.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay? Again, you can have the munchies. And you could still be capable of judgment.

[Roy Bellamy]

Yes, you can, but the judgment's impaired. You understand?

[Billy Gil]

Everybody at a Super bowl party that lives this kind of life is stepping out somewhere late in that second quarter, right? Because everyone's like, everyone wants that little pre halftime show.

[Roy Bellamy]

Well, some of us. Go gummies.

[Stugatz]

Okay.

[Billy Gil]

Slow burn. I like to get there.

[Roy Bellamy]

I like to just swallow them with water and have them kind of time release.

[Billy Gil]

You never know, guys.

[Unknown]

It's that time of year. Valentine's Day is coming up.

That's my new favorite lip gloss from Nyx Cosmetics. Now I'm ready to talk to you. I've been a huge fan of Nyx Cosmetics for many years now. In fact, I use their Thick It Stick it brow gel every single day. So you can imagine my excitement when we recently received a special delivery to the Lebatard Studio Studios from our friends over at Nyx Cosmetics. And there it was when I opened the box. Glowing. I heard the angels sing. It's their latest lip gloss Fat Oil Lip Drip. It's Nyx Cosmetics first lip oil of its kind. This creamy lip oil will have your lips dripping with fat perks. You get all the shine of a lip gloss and none of the stickiness while experiencing 12 hour hydration. I'm usually a matte lip gloss kind of gal. My normal go to is Nyx Cosmetics Lip Gloss Gloss the Lingerie xxl. But after applying the status update shade, I have found my new go to lip gloss Fat Oil Lip Drip has high shine finish with comfortable wear and none of the sticky texture. A lip product that's hydrating, non sticky and only $9. Now that's a win. Try Fat Oil Lip Drip from NYX Professional makeup. Available in 14 universally flattering shades. Find your perfect fat oil lip drip. Shop [e-mail] or a retailer near.
