[Chris Cody]

New Year same extra value meals at McDonald's. So now get two snack wraps plus fries and a medium soft drink for just $8 for a limited time only. Prices and participation may vary.

[Roy]

Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska and California.

[Chris Cody]

And for delivery.

[Mike Ryan]

So Zaz is clearly struggling with the strain of his workload.

[Chris Cody]

I don't think strange for me, but like, oh boy.

[Mike Ryan]

He's got a bit of a speech impediment.

[Chris Cody]

You want to know how that. What were the kids doing?

[Mike Ryan]

And I don't know what his worst moment was. Just speaking the packers win or the Bear lose?

[Chris Cody]

Bears lose.

[Mike Ryan]

But I think yesterday he had his most embarrassing moment when we welcome in a new sponsor that we're thrilled to have. Everyone around here just loves White Castle and has loved White Castle for a long time. And as part of his betting portion of the segment, he said that Mike Brown might get fired soon and take the Nets over the Knicks. And then the Nets lose by the score of. I'm not making this up. 120 to 66. 120 to 66. Has a team scored fewer than 66 points this year? The Heat have scored 70 and a half eight times this year.

[Chris Cody]

You didn't buy up the points. That's on you. The packers winner. The Bear lose. Bears lose.

[Mike Ryan]

So the nets were an 11 and a half point dog. I would have had to buy 50 points.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh boy.

[Mike Ryan]

120 to 66. Please, Jeremy, tell me that there's been a game this year that has had fewer than 66 points scored by a professional team. I'll give you all of Europe and the G League as well. Like I'll just. I'll just any. I'll give you high school basketball. 66 points is crazy.

[Roy]

I'll find all of that thus far. In the season before yesterday, the lowest scoring game by a team was the Indiana Pacers with 78 points against the 1 seed Detroit Pistons. The Pacers, of course, are one of the worst teams in basketball.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Knicks have never beaten a team by more points. Oh boy. In their history.

[Mike Ryan]

The. Can you explain yourself? Like you. You came on. I mean, we've got this great new sponsor. It's a segment featuring you. You're eating a delicious burger. You're rewarded.

[Chris Cody]

This is a tasty burger.

[Mike Ryan]

And you miss the point Spreaded again. Was 11 and a half.

[Chris Cody]

Buy it up.

[Mike Ryan]

And they lost by 54 points.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, boy. Handled my business on against those, period.

[Mike Ryan]

How is that possible? Like how. Why. On what grounds did you pick the Nets? Why would you pick the Nets?

[Chris Cody]

Oh, yeah. It was an inspired effort by the Knicks.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast.

[Mike Ryan]

I see that the content companies and sports are struggling a little bit today. On getup, it's Ken Harbaugh turning around in year one because nobody really wants to talk about Jared Stidham. And there's one football game remaining that people are interested in the outcome of. I suppose they're also interested in the outcome of Broncos Patriots. But you can't get get me to watch that game. I don't want to watch any.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can't what? Come on. Come on.

[Chris Cody]

You're just not going to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come on, Dan.

[Roy]

I'm with Dan.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm good.

[Roy]

You're such a liar. Let me know how it ends. You're such a liar.

[Dan Le Batard]

Sunday, 3 o'. Clock.

[Roy]

Everybody's going to be locked in.

[Dan Le Batard]

I know. You're going to be locked in because you like football.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Come on. Championship Sunday.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't want to watch the tattered remains of a quarterback in an injured league where the 49ers are now investigating the power plant next door because everyone's hurt that Jared Stidham is going to start his fifth game and his first game in 750, 50 some odd days.

[Dan Le Batard]

You guys are watching football. I've lost my will to live.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to talk to you about the University of Miami stealing Dukes players, not just their quarterback, but now their fast, tall, white wide receivers. I also want to ask the audience and everyone, everyone in here, what is the best white wide receiver in the history of professional or college football in Miami? Because I don't know that we've had a great one. You've got some Brian Hartline. You've got. You've got Wes Welker, but he only had one touchdown here. He had all his scoring with the Patriots.

[Dan Le Batard]

What do we do with Restrepo and Barrios?

[Mike Ryan]

They're Latin. They're the Latin character.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, Barrios. Barrios is more white than Restrepo. We can agree.

[Mike Ryan]

I believe we can agree on that. But they're a different category. They go in the bunch of best Latin receivers Miami has had. College or pro. What can you tell me about Cooper Barcade? And what can you tell me about how mad Manny Diaz is about the fact that Miami likes some of his players and just takes them well?

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, these players just entered the portal. Hopefully they pick Miami. I don't know what's going on there. There are people out there suggesting that Miami is the favorite. That'd be great because Cooper Barkade is one hell of a white wide receiver. A tall, fast, smart, electric white.

[Chris Cody]

He's an exciting white.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's an electric white.

[Chris Cody]

Whoa.

[Dan Le Batard]

Over a thousand yard season. Look at his highlights. Just search him on X like the guy is awesome and he's Darian Mensah's favorite target. Now the Mensa thing, you know, not great optics, admittedly. They're suing Darian Mensah. There's a temporary restraining order.

[Mike Ryan]

Duke is suing men. So their quarterback.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. So he has a temporary restraining order from going to another school. He was officially entered into the transfer portal. Cooper bar. Kate. It was reported that he had re signed with Duke in December. I don't know. Something like that's going around that place. Sit down in that chair, Manny. Enjoy it.

[Mike Ryan]

So the stealing of players. And if you want somebody's players. This is chaos time in college football. The business of college football agents running things with very few rules.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's not all puppy dogs and ice cream though for your Miami Hurricanes. They are dealing with the most devastating loss of our lifetime. And also Pringle entered the portal last night. And not the only running back I expect on Miami's roster to enter the portal.

[Chris Cody]

It's not the most devastating loss of our lifetime.

[Mike Ryan]

I like him. He's quick. He offers them an option they don't particularly have at running back. Although Fletcher did run away from Indiana secondary. I do need to say they don't.

[Dan Le Batard]

Trust his pass protection in the college football playoff.

[Mike Ryan]

And Fletcher was in for pass protection and whiffed badly.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just one. Yeah, it was so out of character that you notice. But I mean he was, he's one of the best pass pass blocking running backs I think I've ever seen at Miami.

[Mike Ryan]

And for those of you who think we are homorific about these things, we were telling you that everyone says that Fletcher is a model character. What do you guys do with the information? Because a lot of people out there only have the video and information. There's a, um, player and he's taking a swipe at an Indiana player. And we were explaining to you, look, that's hugely out of character. Something had to be said there that was bad. And then Mike Rumpf reveals after the game, the Indiana players said something about the death of Fletcher's father. I think everyone listening to this, if I give them that piece of context, all of them say, yeah, if you get hit there, you deserve to get hit there.

[Dan Le Batard]

If that's true, the way that he backed up suggested that he did not want that smoke. And he also knew that he was in the wrong. And also, there has not been a denial yet from Indiana as it pertains to that. Mark Fletcher's dad died recently. He texts him before every game. Mark Fletcher was very gracious in defeat to Fernando Mendoza just moments before. Obviously an emotional time. Mark Fletcher is the unquestioned team leader of Miami. And that dude definitely said something. And I did not need to know the report to know that whatever that guy said, he probably had it coming. Cause it was Mark Fletcher.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I, I, I choose to believe Mike rump in that spot. Especially because everything that we've heard about the type of kid Mark Fletcher is, I, it'd be, it'd be nice to get some kind of evidence, you know, someone else to also say the same thing as what happened. But I choose to believe Mike rump in that spot.

[Mike Ryan]

But when Mike says that the Indiana player did not want the rump smoke, I say it's because rump is wearing. I'm sorry, did not want the Fletcher smoke. It's because Fletcher was wearing a helmet and the kid in Indiana was not.

[Dan Le Batard]

You never stopped anybody.

[Mike Ryan]

Come on.

[Dan Le Batard]

How many people throw punches with helmets on? Yeah, yeah. No, he wasn't afraid of getting headbutted from Fletcher. He was, he was dodging those fists.

[Chris Cody]

He also, the kid, also from Indiana then went on Twitter after the game and was taunting Fletcher still.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, he was pointing at his ring finger in the, in that moment, too. And, and did something similar on X.

[Chris Cody]

There was clearly something that built up during the game. Like, there's no way that just out of nowhere, right after the game, the kid decides to randomly say something about Fletcher's father. I'm sure something was going on.

[Mike Ryan]

He text his father every game. I love you, be with me. Every. And that was a public thing that was also celebrated in this game and previous games as the story of Mark Fletcher.

[Roy]

What's the word association with punch thrown after a game? Is it Trent Williams, Richard Sherman?

[Chris Cody]

Oh, I always think of Garrett Blunt.

[Roy]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. You won the game.

[Mike Ryan]

Punch thrown after a game. I got to think about that first.

[Chris Cody]

I go Trent Williams. I love that video.

[Dan Le Batard]

Garrett Blunt. One was cool.

[Chris Cody]

That's always the one.

[Dan Le Batard]

I good moment for Zaz this week.

[Chris Cody]

Thanks. Trying to build back up.

[Mike Ryan]

Chris Cody, can you do me the favor of finding Mad Dog? This was celebrated yesterday. Mad Dog was trying to say the name of Jared Stidham.

[Chris Cody]

I haven't heard this yet. I'm excited.

[Mike Ryan]

Had a hard time staying saying the name of Jared Stidham. I am in no position to mock people for their name. Saying I'm getting a lot of names wrong. I was talking to Kornheiser yesterday. He's like, I'm getting so many names wrong. But not as many as Wilbond. Wilbon's getting more names wrong than I am. Bo Nix in the history of football, 27,000 players, the shortest name in the history of football is Bo Nix. Five letters. A totally irrelevant fact for you that I'm guessing that you guys did not know. But in this game, the Broncos are a five and a half point underdog. And since 1970, since you're the AFC NFC format, 112 conference championship games, the home team has never been this big of a dog in the home game. Never. Five and a half half point dog is the biggest point spread that a home team has ever had because nobody knows what to do with the analysis of the Patriots defense is good. Look at how they made C.J. stroud look what's going to happen with a quarterback who's played four games. I know Diana and others are telling us well Stidham knows the offense and Sean Payton's going to have his guys ready. And I actually expect it to be close just because football and home team. But I don't know how you analyze the point spread on this game. And I also don't trust Zaz with it given his most recent work with point spreads on behalf of White Castle, where he told you to take the nets last night as an eleven and a half point dog at the Knicks and they lost by 56.

[Dan Le Batard]

I bet. Boy, I bet my castle.

[Chris Cody]

Buy up the points. That's not on me.

[Dan Le Batard]

You told me to bet the castle.

[Mike Ryan]

I've got a quibble here to take up with Chris Cody. I heard him muttering yesterday during lunch. He's like death, taxes and Mediterranean food. He was complaining.

[Chris Cody]

It happened again.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's my favorite dish here.

[Roy]

It's just a lot. I love Mediterranean too, you know.

[Chris Cody]

Love tzatziki sauce. Know about that gyro.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come On. I was planning on never eating a gyro, and then I saw that Mediterranean. I'm like, okay, this will be the last time.

[Roy]

We have different styles, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's some that come with a big band. They have a bunch of different meats. There's one that has a brisket that's fire. So I'm back on Mediterranean.

[Mike Ryan]

I just don't understand why Chris doesn't bring his own lunch if he's worried that the free Mediterranean food is seen.

[Roy]

The sad lunches Jeremy brings, I'm not doing. Don't talk to me about my sad turkey sandwiches. Come on.

[Dan Le Batard]

We are extremely sad.

[Roy]

Wheat bread, dude.

[Chris Cody]

No, no, it's not wheat bread. It's not. It's multigrain visual of just whatever that bread is.

[Roy]

I don't care what's underneath there. I look sad, Okay. I look great. I feel great about my sad sandwich.

[Mike Ryan]

Mike is looking at my zero sugar. Mike is looking at you that way because of how hard it was for you to get broadcasted words out of your mouth from under that beard. He is Will Ferrell from the cowbell skit on Saturday Night Live.

[Chris Cody]

And what is Tony doing?

[Roy]

He just looks cool.

[Dan Le Batard]

Cock of the walk, baby.

[Roy]

That's Bruce Dickinson.

[Dan Le Batard]

Bruce Dickinson. He's got a fever. It's a great costume. Thank you, buddy.

[Mike Ryan]

Are you Christopher Walken?

[Dan Le Batard]

Say it, baby.

[Roy]

Hispanic Walken.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't know that I was ever more surprised in a music video than seeing Christopher Walken dance so well. Classically trained dancer. And it's a Fat Boy Slim video, right? Yes.

[Dan Le Batard]

Weapon of choice.

[Mike Ryan]

And him dancing was just a wonderful reveal that I did not know that he had had in his arsenal where the whole video is Christopher Walken dancing coming down an escalator. I don't know if I've ever been as surprised by a cameo performance.

[Chris Cody]

That's the whole video, right? Him dance.

[Mike Ryan]

It's just him dancing. Put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Like, I mean, Paul Simon did this with Chevy Chase, like using celebrities for cameos. But I just have never seen something in a video that surprised me more than seeing Christopher Walken dance. Well, put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Would you have had any idea that Christopher Walken danced well before seeing him dance in that Fat Boy Slim video?

[Dan Le Batard]

Danced in King of New York.

[Mike Ryan]

That's a good movie.

[Dan Le Batard]

Excellent movie.

[Mike Ryan]

I want to ask you about what's going on with Giannis. Let's play the sound here. They lose last night to a banged up thunder team at home. Giannis walks past Doc Rivers, ignoring him. I am going to have some trouble with Doc Rivers legacy as a coach, as a guy who always loses game sevens.

[Chris Cody]

What's the trouble?

[Mike Ryan]

And well, I just, I. What do you say about him?

[Chris Cody]

Just he's not a good coach.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean he's gotten an awful lot of chances, chances with an awful lot of good teams and he's a champion. And you're just saying he's not a good coach and he's a champion.

[Chris Cody]

The champion, they were like the worst team in the league in 2007. And then because Kevin McHale and Danny Aing are buddies, they acquire Kevin Garnett and all of a sudden Doc river is a champion. Give me a break. Not good coach.

[Roy]

I'll.

[Mike Ryan]

I'll get to that in a second. But you just mentioned 2007 and it just, it reminded me of those gate that Gator team that won the championship right after 2007 and 2008. You guys want to guess how many players on that ro arrested? Urban Myers, champion Gators of 2008. Do you guys want to take a guess at the number of players on that roster who were arrested?

[Chris Cody]

I think it's in the 40s.

[Mike Ryan]

It's 41. 41. It's a third.

[Roy]

Roy's guess was eight.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's how you play the game.

[Mike Ryan]

A third of the roster. Yeah. Zaz really, Whoa. Zaz really did undo my ability to do anything with it. We've got to teach him how to do this.

[Roy]

Are these individual arrests or 40 different people got arrested?

[Mike Ryan]

That's a good question. And it is 41 players, it's a third of the roster was arrested.

[Chris Cody]

How wild is it though, all of those players who are arrested and Urban Meyer still allowed to be on the team. But Urban Meyer told Cam Newton, listen, you gotta get outta here. It's too much waste.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stole a laptop.

[Chris Cody]

You gotta go, you can't be here anymore.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, 41 is a staggering number. None of it covered in the Netflix documentary that was about that championship team just ignored. There was a murder in the huddle. 41 arrest. Let's just celebrate. Tebow put a halo over the huddle and that's all that matters.

[Roy]

To be fair, he wasn't a murderer yet.

[Dan Le Batard]

That we know of.

[Mike Ryan]

That we know of. Thank you, Roy. A good bit of a. Good bit of which one that we know of or that he hadn't been arrested yet?

[Chris Cody]

If you're a smoker or dipper, you could be reaching for so much more with Zyn Nicotine Pouches when you reach for Zyn, you're reaching for 10 satisfying varieties and two strengths for a smoke free and spit free experience that lets you lean in for chances to break free from your routine and a unique nationwide community.

[Mike Ryan]

How you love that catchphrase. Bad news for opposing teams.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Triple air St. All smiles till.

[Mike Ryan]

The Bloods are clutch again. Clutch again, clutch again.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan lebatar show with the St.

[Mike Ryan]

Let's go ahead and play the sound of Mad Dog trying to say Jared Stidham.

[Chris Cody]

But he have confidence in Peyton getting the most out of the, out of the quarterback in this book game here. Stick them, stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon against the Patriot.

[Roy]

You can tell there's like a 5 second buffer there where he's looking for the name.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's trying to find it.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I love him so. But he have confidence in Peyton getting the most out of the, out of the quarterback in this ball game here. Stick them, stick them in this game on Sunday afternoon against the Patriots.

[Mike Ryan]

Stick em for me is word association. Lester Hayes, I always do. Lester Hayes used to cheat by just having glue on his hands as a defensive back. Miami could have used that incidentally against Mississippi. Could have used it actually against the.

[Dan Le Batard]

Championship game when they had that pick.

[Mike Ryan]

Six against Indiana as well. But here, let me play the sound here after the game. The Bucks lose Giannis. Giannis's bucks are now 18 and 25. The idea that Giannis is going to be on a team that doesn't make the playoffs is asinine. Okay? And in the Eastern Conference, it's asinine that Giannis would be on a team that's 18 and 25. And here he is after the game, losing by 20 to a shorthanded Thunder team. Here's what he has to say.

[Chris Cody]

We're not playing hard. Not playing hard. We're not doing the right thing.

[Mike Ryan]

We're not playing to win, not playing together.

[Chris Cody]

Our chemistry is not there. Guys are being selfish. Guys are trying to look for their own shots instead of looking for the right shot for the team. Guys try to do it on their own.

[Mike Ryan]

So the last six games, five of them feature the fewest shots that Giannis has taken in a game this season. Can you guys just freeze for me real quick? The size of his hands. When people. If anyone's wondering how and why it is that he is so good at basketball, I know that we're used to these guys being sort of freakish creatures, but do any of you have a hand that's larger than the entirety of your head? Like, he could palm the entirety of his face and. And be holding the top of his head because of the size of those hands.

[Roy]

You're trying to get me.

[Dan Le Batard]

You can tell who got bullied in high school. You push the hand into the face. You push the hand in the face. Once they do that. Classic move. I was cool.

[Mike Ryan]

Zaz, what do you think of the fact that Giannis is drowning in Milwaukee?

[Chris Cody]

Ask for the trade. Just do it. Like, just ask for the trade.

[Roy]

But why not do it without asking, like he's doing?

[Chris Cody]

Because you get the best world. Because it doesn't work. But also, I don't think that anyone is going to be upset with him when he asks for the trade, especially because it's a big deal that they did win there. It's not like with Damien Lillo. It's like, man, but. But what happened? We didn't even win. Like, Giannis won. Okay. This has been a mutually beneficial relationship. I do think the place where people are going to get angry with Giannis is if this stuff keeps going on. It's the talking about the other guys are selfish. It's the.

[Roy]

The.

[Chris Cody]

I would never ask for a trade. You know, the team. It's up to them to do whatever they want to do. Whatever kind of stuff that keeps coming out, that's when the tide is really going to turn on Giannis. Just ask for the trade. Just do it. Just ask for the trade.

[Dan Le Batard]

The passive aggressive nature in which he does these things is not indicative of the star that he is.

[Roy]

Right.

[Chris Cody]

Like, if there's been lesser stars, there's.

[Roy]

Been lesser stars have been like, get me out.

[Chris Cody]

What do you mean?

[Roy]

This is a. He's doing the right thing. He's not being. That's like, get me out of here. He's actually.

[Chris Cody]

You think they're going to trade him? If he doesn't say, I want to be traded.

[Roy]

I just can't believe we're crushing him for being the good soldier.

[Chris Cody]

He's clearly unhappy, but he's not saying.

[Roy]

The public, like, he's doing what we would want our athlete, but he's saving face. For who?

[Dan Le Batard]

That's my question.

[Chris Cody]

He's not being a good soldier, though. He's not.

[Roy]

I just think if we're. He can't win here if he's, like, ripping his. I mean, like, we're rip. He is ripping his teammates, but if he's requesting the trade, we're going to rip him for that, too.

[Chris Cody]

No, I don't think so. I don't think.

[Roy]

I think we're talking out of both sides of our mouths here. I think at this point, point Chris is actually the example of why Giannis is doing this. He's. Game after game after game, they've lost four out of five. Each time, it's a different thing. Now it's, hey, my teammates are being selfish. They don't know how to win. Maybe it's because we're young.

[Chris Cody]

What's he talking about? Where I'm not be. Maybe I need to ask to shoot more. Like, really well.

[Roy]

He's saying, I've never had to be the guy who commands the ball. My teammates have been smart enough to know how to get me the ball in the right position. That's. He specifically references playing with Chris Middleton and playing with Brook Lopez and all of these different guys. Who knew what his gravity could do. And when he's just banging along, that's when they're winning championships.

[Dan Le Batard]

Give it to him, baby.

[Mike Ryan]

So his teammates are no longer champions. Drew Holiday and Chris Middleton. Now it's Kyle Kuzma. And Miles might be the worst.

[Roy]

Walk in.

[Chris Cody]

Give it to me, baby.

[Roy]

He said that the teammates are trying to, like, put. Put the game on their backs. Hey, they're trying to go win it one at a time. It's. It's surprising to see him talk this way. But I think the reason I said Chris is the example is right now, he's saying, like, oh, we'll kill him if he eventually is requesting a trade right now. Well, the more you hear him explaining why he should be requesting a trade, and the closer we get to the deadline, then maybe with a week or two to go, he finally puts that in. And people like Chris who have been following the saga go, all right, man. Well, he tried. He tried to call out the teammates. He tried to be the good soldier. But I guess after, at this point, he has to do it. If he had just requested the trade before things started to fall off the tracks, maybe people wouldn't react as well. And he cares about saving face with that city the same way that Damian Lillard did. He cares a lot about Milwaukee.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm a cock of the walk, baby. Listen, here's the thing. Milwaukee is doing this weird thing where they're like, no, we want to actually Be buyers at the deadline. And it's like, no, your team sucks.

[Roy]

What you need to do is get.

[Dan Le Batard]

Rid of Giannis and then reload. Thank you. Give it to him. Baby.

[Mike Ryan]

Baby, you are. You're walking a Hispanic. Christopher. We're walking Christopher. Coming on, though.

[Dan Le Batard]

I like how bad it is.

[Mike Ryan]

It's so terrible. The walk, baby, is all he's got to the impersonation. He throws a baby on the end of things.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's not making how it usually talk anyway.

[Mike Ryan]

But Christopher Walken is, according to people who do impressions, one of the easiest impressions to do, even stupid.

[Chris Cody]

God, I got a fever.

[Mike Ryan]

Dan, for walking. And yours is truly terrible. Like, yours could not be worse. Please stay in character, a method actor throughout the entirety of the show. Again, baby, are you guys. You guys are with zaz. That Doc Rivers is just a bad coach. I mean, he's. He's just. He's got a lot of Game 7 losses. He's got a lot of historic bad on the end of season.

[Dan Le Batard]

Are you asking if Doc Rivers is a bad coach?

[Mike Ryan]

He's a champion here.

[Chris Cody]

So is Frank Vogel.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, so who's the worst coach ever to win a championship or who's. Who's a coach that wins a championship that just has a terrible reputation?

[Dan Le Batard]

Les Miles, bro Switzer.

[Mike Ryan]

Les Miles is pretty good. Les Miles was eating grass on the sidewalk.

[Dan Le Batard]

Guy is dumb. And Google him more than just dumb. Bad guy.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't like calling people dumb.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm good calling Les Miles dumb.

[Mike Ryan]

But I thought it was sufficient to say he was eating grass on the sidelines. I think that. That he would pick up grass and eat it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think the oil. Oil spill sou. From Les Miles. All right. You don't want to call him dumb. That's all right. We'll just let the sound speak for itself.

[Mike Ryan]

I don't like calling anybody dumb.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, no, this guy's dumb.

[Mike Ryan]

But, yes, Les Miles at one point was indeed asked to comment. And you shouldn't ask coaches about everything. They very often don't know a lot about things outside of football, but some of them try to fake it when they are asked about things outside of football.

[Chris Cody]

Since you got to Louisiana, first you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Had Katrina to deal with.

[Mike Ryan]

Now you got the oil spill working its way to you. I'm just wondering.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wondering how that's going, about what that's impacting you all and what kind of situation you all are facing.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, it's. The impact is more of a, you know, anything along the shore, and those issues are very serious issues in there. The Impact is on the, you know, what is the natural resource of our country.

[Roy]

But.

[Mike Ryan]

But, you know, I don't know that it's. I don't know exactly to what extent, you know, it's being handled well and managed and. Or mismanaged. I have no idea. The only thing I know, it's very sincere. And it affects more than Louisiana.

[Dan Le Batard]

It affects the ocean. Say it, baby.

[Mike Ryan]

Very sincere. Mark Stein says, quote, word is that Miami believes it will be firmly in the mix as a legit trade destination for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he actually becomes available. And he also says that the Heat will not make smaller moves like John Morant if it in any way impacts the ability to get Giannis.

[Chris Cody]

I talked about this. I think it was before the season started. Right. That in the off season, there had been communication between Giannis's camp and the Heat. And it was conveyed that if we get to a place that this is not working, Giannis is interested in Miami. Like, that was conveyed to Miami from Giannis's people. I said that before the scene started.

[Dan Le Batard]

You did. And you also said that there's a.

[Roy]

Opportunity, maybe that the Ja Morant Yanis thing could be a combo package.

[Dan Le Batard]

But word around the league is nobody wants Ja. There's nobody willing to make a substantial offer to Memphis for John Moran. And it's like, all right, now you're saving all your assets for the one big fish when he decides to make the trade request known.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I think. I think things have changed in the NBA when it comes to these big trades. I think it's quite possible that you're going to see, you only have the huge packages for guys like Giannis when you have guys like John Rand, who listen, by all accounts, a really good player. But I. I think teams. I think there's going to be a change in the league where you're not going to have these massive blockbuster trades. And I think we're seeing it with John Morant.

[Mike Ryan]

It's hard for me to believe that nobody wants job, but I was also stunned the other day when Mike Dunleavy, the general manager of the warriors, said this about computer. Yeah, I mean, I think as far as the demand, I'm aware of that. I think when you, you know, in terms of demands, when you make a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Demand, there needs to be demand on.

[Mike Ryan]

The market, so we'll see where that unfolds. When you make a trade demand, that's a bar. There needs to be a demand in the market. You're going to keep doing that, aren't you all right? Very good.

[Dan Le Batard]

What it calls for, baby.

[Mike Ryan]

All right. Yes. Good. I'm glad that you're.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did Les Miles say something you wanted him to say, right? So I told him. Say baby.

[Mike Ryan]

Don LeBatard, no one else here is willing to do a Trump or a Biden.

[Chris Cody]

That's not true, Dan.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, Tony, you can catch a thousand impersonations.

[Chris Cody]

That's not bad, man.

[Dan Le Batard]

Finally.

[Roy]

Pretty good.

[Dan Le Batard]

Stugach.

[Roy]

Yours is terrible.

[Chris Cody]

You just got to get a little redder, a little pinker. You're right there, man.

[Mike Ryan]

Yours is not that you're biting. What do you mean?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, his is good.

[Chris Cody]

That's actually not bad.

[Roy]

That's not terrible.

[Dan Le Batard]

We gotta come to together little Southern.

[Mike Ryan]

Little George Bush in that one.

[Chris Cody]

This is the D. Lear show with the St.

[Dan Le Batard]

Gods.

[Mike Ryan]

Roy, how do you feel about the fact that Jonathan Zaslo, who once ended a vacation early to support the Panthers because his team needed him and he flew to the. Flew back into town.

[Chris Cody]

Drove.

[Mike Ryan]

Drove. Excuse me. Well, you flew down the highway to get back to the Panthers in the car.

[Chris Cody]

We're going home.

[Mike Ryan]

He is officially. It was unofficial before, if you sensed it. He's officially worried about the Florida Panthers.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. I don't blame him. I mean, the Seth Jones injury is worse than we thought. He's missing the Olympics now, and even the. The Tachuk return. That bump didn't exactly do well for the Panthers as they lost to the Sharks. So. Yeah, I. I understand why you're worried, and it's going to be a. They're going to have to work hard to get.

[Roy]

But wait, are you worried?

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay.

[Roy]

I knew it.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, Roy also wasn't worried when we got to game seven. You know, does he worry about anything? You know, I. I am worried, though, Dan. I am officially worried. We are well past the halfway point of the season. 34 games remain reigning. The Panthers are five points back of the wild card. All right. Forget getting top three in the division. That ship has sailed. They are five points back of the wild card and it's just. It feels like we're getting to the point where this is going to be just a lost season where they have not been able to recover from all of the injuries. Like Roy mentioned, Seth Jones now was he who has not played in several weeks since the Winter Climb Classic, he is now going to miss at least through the Olympics because they just replaced him on Team usa. I. I am at the play and look, Kachuk is back, which is great. Enough training camp. All right? This is going to take A little bit of time for him to. He could be 100, but it's going to take some time for him to get back to being Matthew Tkachuk. Marshand is still out. He should be back soon. No Kulakov, No. No Shek, No Gadjevic. It gets to a point. No Barkov, no. But we knew that, you know. And Bobrovsky, by the way, who I love, is actually having a career war season. All right, so it gets to a place where I think this is a problem.

[Dan Le Batard]

Five points out of the final playoff spot. I'm alive again. This is. This. We are back.

[Mike Ryan]

They spent three decades there.

[Roy]

This is us.

[Chris Cody]

How about a league rule?

[Roy]

If you win back to back championships, you get to go in the playoffs next season.

[Mike Ryan]

Just.

[Chris Cody]

I don't hate that last playoff spot.

[Roy]

You get it?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't hate that Champions League. All right, they won the previous season. Put them in.

[Chris Cody]

But by the way, it's not just five points back of that final playoff spot. Oh, they also have jumped five teams to get there.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll at Lebatard show if you've won back to back championships, should you get an automatic berth in the next playoffs? Because Chris Cody just like, please. Wandering over and just changing the rules.

[Dan Le Batard]

I honestly could use a break. I'm tired, man.

[Mike Ryan]

From caring. You just. You need a break from caring. From caring and hurting.

[Dan Le Batard]

These playoff runs are exhausting.

[Roy]

Well, he's probably tired because he carried the program on his back. He's the reason they got there. Oh, you mean a break just from them caring. I thought he meant a break like.

[Chris Cody]

Just let us in. No, you just like.

[Mike Ryan]

He just. I'm caring from paying attention to games. He needs. He just needs a respite from pouring his heart into things.

[Dan Le Batard]

Why is Jeremy such a little asshole?

[Roy]

Jack shit over there.

[Dan Le Batard]

Such a little asshole.

[Chris Cody]

More cowboy.

[Dan Le Batard]

No one likes you.

[Mike Ryan]

It's a good costume. That's heavy handed. You know what? That's not. You're going to have to get it out of here. I'm sorry. No, I'm gonna get. No. Why would I get Jeremy out of here? He didn't do anything.

[Dan Le Batard]

More Cowboy, baby.

[Chris Cody]

Minor penalty, two minutes.

[Mike Ryan]

Personal foul.

[Chris Cody]

Personal and foul.

[Mike Ryan]

It's too bad too, because I was about to celebrate you as GM of the year for your work with the Cyclones in highlight. Jeremy, I wasn't kicking you out. I was kicking Mike out. I'm not kicking.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come on.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm kicking Mike out. Jeremy didn't deserve that. He didn't do any. He didn't do anything to deserve that. In your face.

[Chris Cody]

I'm going to fall.

[Mike Ryan]

Just get out and just get out of here.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can I do a top five when I come back?

[Mike Ryan]

Sure, but you're going to have to leave here for two minutes. What is your top five going to be? So that you can tease people? So that people time spent listening increases because people can't get enough of Mike Ryan in their lives.

[Dan Le Batard]

Top five badass plays from the cane season, baby.

[Mike Ryan]

If you cannot, if you want more Mike Ryan. Keynes insight is a place that he has helped found that is growing and has a lot of portal information. And if you want to follow the momentum of this University of Miami season with fresh information, Cain's insight is where you go. You guys saw on ESPN.com this LeBron. I'm going to call it the LeBron story, but it's about the Lakers infighting. For those of you who don't know, this has been a problem since Jerry Buss died. The kids fight over the ownership of the franchise. And the reported details in this story, unsurprisingly, are that the Lakers were fed up with the amount of power that Clutch had, were fed up with LeBron's ego, were trying to think about how to trade him and begrudgingly extended him just because they didn't want the optics of not extending him. What did you think was the most interesting thing in that story on ESPN.com.

[Chris Cody]

The LeBron and clutch stuff was the only thing I cared about because if I'm being perfectly honest with you, this story to me was so, so annoying. I hated this story. I got to a. I couldn't keep track of all the siblings. It's six siblings and all of their names start with J. It was Jesse and Johnny and Jimmy and Jeie and Janie and. And Joey. How do we feel about that?

[Roy]

So you did and.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I.

[Chris Cody]

It got to. I kept having to scroll up and oh, that's. That's this sibling that. I couldn't keep track of it, Dan. And eventually I said, effort. I'm not reading this anymore. I couldn't get through it.

[Mike Ryan]

But does it matter that you have a reading comprehension problem? The six kids have a problem. It doesn't matter who's being quoted. You don't know any of them anyway, other than Jeannie. So it's just the six siblings are fighting succession.

[Chris Cody]

I didn't like this story.

[Mike Ryan]

Okay, that's your commentary on it. You just didn't like the story.

[Roy]

I found it fascinating. Like the, the sibling dynamics. It was like reading through a Script of siblings succession. Like, it really genuinely felt like I was. I was seeing how this type of thing with these wealthy people who are gifted this opportunity to have wealth, by the way, like, they work hard. It's. It's their father who bought this franchise and built it into what it was. And now he was literally with them, trying to put the succession plan in place before he died, all for the point that there wouldn't be this level of backstabbing.

[Dan Le Batard]

And then it.

[Roy]

And in the. The time since they've all seemingly backstabbed each other, the two younger siblings who are Jerry Buss's kids but have a different mother, have had this exclusion. Genie Buss told one of them that he should never have been born. That was within this story. And you don't find that interesting? Like, I found. I found the entire saga to be fascinating. From our perspective, I can understand where the most interesting thing that stands out is how she felt about Clutch, how she felt about LeBron reacting to the Russell Westbrook trade and then trying to wipe his hands of it, because she clearly made the trade just to try to appease him. But the saga of the Buss family was fascinating to read. The reporting was amazing.

[Chris Cody]

I would have been able to find it interesting if I could have followed along with the story.

[Roy]

So blame Jerry for naming kids all with Jay.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes.

[Chris Cody]

I couldn't keep.

[Roy]

My brother's name is Jerry.

[Chris Cody]

Jason, Jeremy, there's two of you. That's six of you.

[Roy]

It's also pretty difficult. My parents get it wrong all the time.

[Chris Cody]

They keep track.

[Mike Ryan]

Can you do me the favor, please, and find out for me how many of George Foreman's kids were named George? I think he named his daughter Georgette as well. I don't know if it was seven. Like, that's aggressive. I understand giving all the kids names that start with the same letter, but naming all of the kids George? In a household where mom has to call out for somebody and everyone turns around when she says George, that's a real insanity and an enormous ego that wants the legacy of telling everybody there will always be George Foreman's.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, so there are 12 children. All five of his sons are named George. One of his daughters is named Georgetta.

[Mike Ryan]

I think Dion did something similar. Does Dion have boys named Dion? Because he does have a girl named Diandra as well. Although my favorite name when it comes to any of this stuff is that Dennis Rodman was one of 19 children and his father was named Philander. Like you can't do better than that. That is the Best that you can do.

[Roy]

There were nicknames to keep the Georges all separated. So you had George Jr, but then George III, nicknamed Monk. Then Big Wheel Red and little Joey.

[Mike Ryan]

Time now for Mike Ryan's top five most badass plays from this University of Miami season. Any owl?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. Olis. Visual accompaniment for the top five. But Olis, you gotta crack the top five to get visual accompaniment. We begin with Malakai Toney mossing that Pip player on that fourth down for crucial style points. And we got. No, no, no. That's Oli. That's Oli. We got Mark Fletcher. Also Oli. College Station duo to the outside. Beast mode run huge to put Miami in position for a go ahead score. Also Oli, Marty Brown running into the pile, pulling it outside and going to the house. All to be incorrectly taken off the board against Florida. And the final Oli, Akeem Mezador. Week one against Notre Dame. Sacking the quarterback and then doing the leprechaun pose.

[Mike Ryan]

I can't believe Mendoza didn't fumble on that strip sack that Messidor had in that game. I don't know how that ball didn't come out of Mendoza's hands.

[Dan Le Batard]

Number four. How the hell did Ruben Bane end up with the ball? The interception. Big time pick against Notre Dame. One of the season's best games and most pivotal in retrospect. Ball bounces off of Keontae Scott's foot. Ruben Bane gathers it.

[Chris Cody]

Badass.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tell you the trailer play, baby. Number four, the 14 yard pile push in Glendale. Number three, Motore. Dying for our sins in College Station.

[Mike Ryan]

That poor guy, man, was he unconscious at the goal line there at the end.

[Dan Le Batard]

One of the enduring images of this season was Bryce Fitzgerald intercepting that ball the very next play. And Motore being held up by a trainer having to be stopped from going on the field to celebrate. Motore great Kane for that play. And number number two, Keonte Scott, the pick six.

[Mike Ryan]

That's number two.

[Dan Le Batard]

Talking that trash on the way there. And then the Jim Thorpe award pose in the end zone. That's when you knew Miami was going to win that ball game.

[Mike Ryan]

That's when you knew Miami would be the runner up this season.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. And number one, one of my favorite calls of all time. Mark Jones on the call. One of Miami's best performances of the regular season. A game people were nervous about against C.J. bailey and NC State. Jacoby Thomas interception, running it back to the house, pointing at the quarterback that threw it. And Mark Jones says Jacoby Thomas looked at his wrist and said, I got time today. Quick break to talk to you about Miller Lite, a partner of ours, basically. Since our show's inception, Miller Lite has been there for so many great memories, especially recently this wintertime. Lots of trips to Texas, 1 Arrows, Arizona, surrounded by friends, welcoming in a new year and toasting that beautiful white can of Miller Lite, my favorite beer and an incredible partner. For almost half of its 50 year existence, Miller Lite has been partnered up with the Dan LeBatard show and we could not be more grateful. Some of my most legendary moments have started with let's get some Miller Lights. Whether it be a buddy's house, a watch party at the game or post game, you crack open a Miller Light, you take a sip, you look around at your friends and you think, yeah, this was the right call. You're locked into the game, the conversation, the moment, not thinking about what you're drinking. Miller Lite just fits. Legendary moments. Start with Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories.
