Dan Le Batard
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.
Stugotz
Cuervo.
Dan Le Batard
What are you doing here?
Juju
Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Dan Le Batard
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.
Juju
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Dan Le Batard
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Juju
Cuervo.
Dan Le Batard
So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila. Roximo Cuervo.com Please drink responsibly.
Stugotz
Cuervo. Against the spread.
Dan Le Batard
Against the spread.
Stugotz
Now give me that spread.
Dan Le Batard
I want to see that spread.
Stugotz
We haven't started yet, dad.
Dan Le Batard
Hey, look at that spread. I need that spread. Give me that spread. I want that spread.
Stugotz
Put the acct.
Dan Le Batard
Man. Need those spread. Just pick Miami.
Juju
What?
Dan Le Batard
What is it? Joe Biden not doing? Oh, come on. Against that. Come on.
Juju
You know you all would agree, you may have noticed we're gonna get to against the spread here in a moment. 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
Dan
Take against the spread. Eric dump.
Stugotz
Against the spread is present by DraftKings. DraftKings the Crown is yours.
Eric
All right. The jets are going into Buffalo against the Sabers as a goal and a half underdog.
Dan
Come on, man.
Eric
The reason why is because Conor Hellebut is still out. He's on IR with a knee injury. He had surgery a couple weeks ago. Out four to six weeks. They have lost four of the last five. So going to go with the jets today at Buffalo.
Stugotz
Come on. Hey, give me that spread.
Dan Le Batard
Hey, give me that spread. Going to go with an adjusted against the spread. I'm going to take the Ducks favored by minus one and a half right now. They're a dog in that game against Blues. Sometimes goals hard to come by for the Blues. I believe the Ducks would be better. So why not take the extra juicy attempt here with the Anaheim Ducks who are going to make the playoffs, by the way. Going to make the playoffs. Let's take them against those.
Juju
They are looking good, aren't they, Roy? They're offensively no longer challenged. I saw. I saw over the course of the weekend I saw that Chris Myers and Schler got stuck of course with the Saints game and the Saints versus the Dolphins. And Schlerith said of Tua, he said he has a challenge from a height standpoint, which is the most word you can use to say someone is Short that TUA has a challenge from a height standpoint. Did you feel bad listening to Chris Myers have to do Dolphin Saints thinking that his career should be beyond this?
Dan Le Batard
I was.
Stugotz
It was funny to me to watch all my Dolphin fans friends get angry at Schlereth for how much he was praising Julian Hill. Like the Dolphins, like third tight end. He's a good blocker.
Mike
Loved how much he was.
Stugotz
He's a big part of their run. So like. But. And he's a guy that gets trolled a lot in the Dolphins chat because he sucks every other play. He's just like, I'll tell you this, Julian Hill, you don't have to put the ball in his hands. He does things.
Juju
Wait, who sucks?
Mike
Julian Hill? No, sir, is my dog. Julian Hill sucks.
Stugotz
Okay, Schler, I swear he mentioned him like seven times.
Mike
No, I remember he was raving about him blocking.
Juju
When you consider how much has changed in professional football, I will just remind you that it was a year ago at about this time that Eberflose on Nashville television with the Bears was making that screw up at the end of the Thanksgiving game that made us all know it was his last job in professional football and that Caleb Williams was on the cusp of being ruined. A year later, they're 9 and 3 and at the top, top the NFC, because Ben Johnson is their quarterback. JuJu is ready to go. I can hear. I can hear his breathing behind us. Juju is ready to go. Juju. What do we have for. What do we have today? That. Why is there a video right now on my screen?
Stugotz
Photo.
Juju
A photo of a shirtless bear. Is that. Oh, is that good?
Dan
Better bet. Never let it rest.
Juju
Okay, so. Okay, so I had not seen this. Hold on a second. Where's the audio on this? I have not seen this.
Stugotz
We got to get that. We just have this. I wanted to show you shirtless Ben Johnson.
Jeremy
This Ben Johnson, though.
Dan Le Batard
Good coach, huh, Abs?
Dan
Yeah. Salute to Ben Johnson, by the way. He took his shirt off because in Chicago, the restaurant, the Wiener Circle promised that if Ben Johnson takes off his shirt after a Bears win, free hot dogs for the whole city. So my boy Ben Johnson just took one for the city right then. You feel me? Stand up, Ben Johnson. I see you, sir.
Juju
How cold. So this is not because it's cold. Chicago. He just wanted to take his shirt off because we wanted to see his abs.
Dan
No, he wanted. He took his shirt off so that the whole city could get free hot dog. Free glizzies for the city, man. Come on.
Juju
No, but I understand why. I understand what you were saying, Juju. I just didn't understand the nature of the bet. Why did they want him shirtless? Because it's cold.
Dan
Yeah, I guess they just Big Ben Johnson fans, you know, I mean they wanted to see my boy would take off his top. You did?
Stugotz
Yeah.
Mike
If you're a fan of someone, you want them to take off their top. Everybody knows that.
Juju
Okay, put it on the poll at ler show. If you're a fan of someone, does everyone want them to take off their top? Do you have top five plays of the weekend and are either Puka or Bowers going to make the list? Let's see. Let's see what we've got here from Juju Oli or are we going straight to the top five plays from the weekend?
Dan
Yeah, I got a Oli and these plays. Without these plays happening, their team would have lost the game. So. Yes. Oi. The Jaguars punter threatening to murder.
Juju
You think they would have lost to the Titans if not for the drags punter threatening to murder Shelby.
Dan
Absolutely. Absolutely. He had that look in his eyes and you know how they say on little giants, you gotta look crazy. Look the part. Chew on some aspirin or something. Slob out of your mouth. He did the job for them boys the other day.
Mike
Winning's an attitude, Dan.
Dan
Yes.
Mike
Attitude that you're gonna kill someone. You already one step up.
Dan
Yes, sir. Number five, Christian Benford scooping score versus the Steelers.
Juju
Who are you? S. I don't. I don't recognize this person me.
Dan
But yeah, that. But that's the problem also too. But mentioning the Bills. The Bills have to get help from their defense to win these games and they have to get the. The Josh Allen who finds the person in the back of the end zone with the push pass versus just a sporadic. So the bill's going to have this problem week to. I wouldn't pencil the Bengals in as a win or a loss for the Bengals just yet, Zaz. I think the Bills are going to struggle against them as they have done because they might get T. Higgins back as well.
Juju
All right. How do you feel, Juju about the idea that your Bills yesterday. Do you agree with my assessment that Aaron Rodgers looks like he's in a survivor movie where he's being hunted by other humans?
Dan
Born home alone, right? Hell yeah. And that was on that exact play too.
Dan Le Batard
He.
Dan
He got banged up on that scooping score which was like, man, get my boy off field, man. Then Mason Rudolph came in with that mustache and threw a Pick instantly. I'm like, oh, man.
Juju
Oh, Steelers have to be so done with the Mason Rudolph experience. Like how tired are they of him coming into games?
Dan
Number three, number four, Nick Bonito tip deflection last night for the two point conversion.
Mike
Huge play.
Dan
Huge play. Cause brother McNichols was wide open in the flat and that was going to be a game ceiling catch. So, yeah, great play.
Juju
That sport is so bullshit. That game of course is going to come down to the end. Of course that. What sense does that make? Number three.
Dan
Number three, Bryce Young to Jalen Coker on fourth down and three. Touchdown, baby. Down the field.
Juju
That's when I thought the Panther season was over.
Dan
Right, bruh? Either the Panthers are gonna get embarrassed every week or they are gonna win the super bowl this year. I don't know what going on with them. Who are they? I don't know. Number two. The referees called a field goal good when it was a missed field goal.
Mike
Really?
Dan
In the Texans versus The Chief.
Stugotz
I saw that.
Dan
Texas versus Coach.
Stugotz
I wasn't sure if it was just like an angle thing. Like I thought it has to be.
Juju
They're. They're underneath. I understand that's got to be an optical illusion, right, for that not to be a huge controversy. It's the second time I've seen it happen this season where it looks on television like the field goal has been missed. But both officials who are under the goal pose and have the best angle can tell you when it crosses or does it.
Stugotz
Because it wasn't one of those ones that was like higher than the pole.
Juju
Right.
Stugotz
So like, that's why it had to be obvious.
Mike
Wouldn't it be easier for the referees to tell if instead of being under the field goal post, they're sitting on top of the field goal?
Stugotz
I love this, right? Love it.
Dan
I like that. Wouldn't that be easier?
Juju
Like a conveyor sitting on top?
Mike
Yeah, they're just. They're sitting on top of each post.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah.
Dan
Like a jet pack.
Mike
Like a gargoyle.
Dan
Yeah, I like that. I saw two. I gotta take two. By the way, within the list. Referees. Liars. I'm gonna just put that out there, bro. Most referees are liars.
Juju
What?
Dan
Ain't no way in hell. Thank you, Chris. Thank you. Ain't no way in hell, bro. You gonna tell me you were standing by the touchdown and you saw that this punt went out of bounds on the 43 and a half yard line? Sir, you, sir, are a liar. And I'm gonna call you out.
Stugotz
None.
Juju
Considering.
Dan
Consider yourself.
Juju
You've Been called down. Number two.
Dan
Number one. Feel me? Kevante Turpin. Fumble recovery on George Pickens. Fumble. Huge, bruh. Cowboy. Thank you, Chris. The Cowboys would have lost that game to Patrick Mahomes. Got that ball back, so play if you want to. Yeah, it's looking good, But. But, man, great recovery from Kevonte Turpin.
Juju
That's the difference between us saying that now, Jerry Jones is a good general manager and us not saying that. Can you play the sound of Ben Johnson in the locker room taking his shirt off so that everyone can have wieners?
Dan
Good, Better, Bad. Good, Better, Bad. Never let it rest. Never let it rest.
Juju
Good. Gets better.
Dan
Gets better. Gets better.
Stugotz
No idea what that speech means, but I love it.
Jeremy
I love that guy.
Juju
I can't imagine how excited Chicago is about. About this.
Dan
Tell your better gets fast and your girl gets better.
Stugotz
Never let it rest.
Mike
That's a made guy right there.
Stugotz
You're supposed to chat when I say it, guys. You're supposed to, like, repeat what I.
Dan Le Batard
What?
Eric
Or I don't know what you're saying.
Stugotz
That's fine.
Jeremy
Again, we'll follow.
Dan
Says, you, sir, are a made guy in my book.
Mike
Thanks, man.
Dan
I think we should change the name right here to Nostra the Dumbs as or Nostra Dumbs Ass. Whatever the name is, let's figure out.
Mike
That didn't sound like a compliment. Nostra Dumb Zazzle.
Dan
Is that my lingo? I got to get it. It's on me. Players mess up. But, yeah, bro, you had. You came and you said, I got Nico getting fired. You didn't say, I think he's getting fired. He made.
Juju
He said he had it. He said. Two hours before the story broke. Did you have any Lane Kiffin thoughts? We spent a lot of time there. We can't get enough of that story, bro.
Dan
Yeah, I agree with Nostradamzas, but again, because, bruh, Lane Kiffin, bro. What's wrong with America? We used to be a great country. No pun intended at all. But. But we sitting here caring about where Lane Kiffin go, bro. When did Lane Kiffin start mattering? Put Lane Kiffin national championships in the box. Put his what? College football appearances, playoff appearances in the box. Shake them up. I don't hear a damn thing, man.
Juju
And. And he's left five of the last six places in just total chaotic noise.
Mike
Yeah.
Dan Le Batard
Even when he left Alabama as a coordinator, Saban was like. Like, I'm not letting you coach this conference title game. Every burning mattresses fired on a tarmac. The only time that people Were like.
Stugotz
Say, mike, we know that you're good. Was Boca FA you.
Dan Le Batard
We get your vibe.
Stugotz
Thank you for your service, sir.
Jeremy
Is Lane Kiffin the Jimmy Butler of college football?
Juju
Wow.
Jeremy
Where, like, the highs are so high, right? But ultimately, the way that it ends is always in flames. In his case, like, literally sometimes. And there actually aren't any championships yet to show for it.
Juju
Well, not just no championships. Nothing close to a championship, not a finals appearance, not anything, really, other than having very low expectations and exceeding very low expectations.
Dan Le Batard
Although as a coordinator, he racks them up.
Juju
I mean, he's a good play caller. Nobody disputes it. I just can't believe the value. I can't believe the value of just play calling now. But maybe I'm wrong. Ben Johnson seems to be a very good play caller as well. And like I said, we're a year removed from Eberfluss. He has to live here now. Sky Moore. Sky Moore, I maintain, had the coolest name in football because he spells it with two Y's. And it's. And that is why, guy, it's two wise. I have not seen a Sky with two wise Juju. Are you here to correct me?
Dan
Yes, sir. I am here to correct you, brother. Sky Moore is a cool name, but I thought of some brothers in the NFL with even cooler names than my boy Sky Moore, so I made a top five list. But I got olives, daddy. I got olives.
Juju
You got a lot of names better than Skymore with two Y's, all right?
Dan
Yes, sir, if you're squint. And also. That I can think of. That I can think of. Audience important note. Oli. Number one. Come on, man. Puka Nakua.
Juju
It's a good name.
Dan
Hell, yeah, man. Oh, a lot. Number two. Chadobe. Awuzier. It flows off the tongue.
Stugotz
Dan likes Sky Moore.
Juju
It's too wide, Right, right.
Dan
Also, Oli Sauce Gardener. Come on, man. If you ain't got no sauce, then you're lost, man.
Dan Le Batard
Come on.
Dan
Right, right. Coats. Time of death, next week. Oli Jackson dart.
Stugotz
It's got an X in it.
Dan
Oh, man, we just got used to it. It's very cool, man.
Juju
I thought you were gonna go the other Jackson.
Dan
That's a cool name, too, but it's. Hey, six, seven. Number five. Number five. Rasheed Shahid. Come on, man. That's a powerful name, especially in the. In the community. Rashid Shahid. Come on. That's definitely a great name. Number four. D'. Amador. Lenore.
Juju
It rhymes, but he's got two, right? They're two wise. In his name.
Dan
Number three, Equanimous Saint Brown. Brothers and sisters. I love it. Number two, Kool Aid McKinsey. Man.
Dan Le Batard
Sky More.
Juju
Are Kool Aid and Sauce the real names? Are they nicknames? Are they real names?
Dan
Come on, man. His mama called him Kool Aid. Imma call the boy Kool Aid.
Juju
I'm not sure. His mama called him Kool Aid.
Dan
And number one, the coolest name in the NFL right now. Divine Diablo.
Juju
Makes me mad.
Stugotz
I thought you were gonna Roy's top tenant at the end.
Juju
No, he's got better names than I did and I'm embarrassed. But I had Jeff Smith. Too wise. So high. It's two wise, though. Imagine if Jeff spelled it with three Fs. Imagine if there were four.
Jeremy
Why do you like it so much?
Juju
Or because it's too wise?
Dan Le Batard
Keep an eye out for what James Franklin's doing at Virginia Tech. Flipping all these Penn State guys. And he just secured the big commitment of Rose Purgatory. Labintus.
Juju
It's a great name. How do you. How do you spell his name? How big is he? How?
Dan Le Batard
He's massive. He's 6, 6, 340 pounds. With the nickname Purgatory because that's where people get stuck.
Stugotz
That's right.
Juju
Between heaven and hell. Head to head. Do we have something? What is his first name?
Dan Le Batard
Roseby.
Juju
Roseby. And how do we spell his last name?
Dan Le Batard
Libintus.
Juju
No. Purgatory. I don't think you can use nicknames. Are Sauce and Kool Aid their real names? They're not their real names.
Jeremy
But his first name is Jaquinci.
Dan
Right? Jaquinsy. With a G, too. With a G. Jacquency. Yeah.
Dan Le Batard
That's good.
Dan
Very cool.
Juju
Let's go ahead and update the polls at Lebatard show during the debate.
Dan
I just put this up on the poll just to see how the crowd felt. Did Lane Kiffin do the right thing? 52 of the audience says no, he did not.
Juju
So wait a minute. You did your own poll?
Dan Le Batard
I'm curious.
Dan
Right?
Dan Le Batard
Sports fan.
Jeremy
Okay.
Juju
Yeah.
Dan
My finger on the post of South Florida sports. Dano number next poll. Does Aaron Rodgers look like someone in a Survivor movie towards the end of it where he's being hunted by other humans in the jungle? 96% of the audience says, yes, he does.
Juju
He had blood on his face yesterday and he's out there playing with no use of for his left hand like he's at the ravages. At the end of this jungle warfare other humans. Rutger Hauer is going to chase him down.
Dan
Who does Brock Bowers look more like? The greatest tight end ever or a 50 year old plumber? 94% of the audience says a 50 year old.
Juju
You guys have to get. Get me just a shot of Brock Bauer so that we could give that to the audio.
Stugotz
Oh, we gotta do my man like.
Juju
That to the video audience. Just look at his face and you tell me if he looks like the young greatest gronk you've ever seen because it just his hair is killing him. He's gotta go bald here, right?
Dan
Does Brock Bowers look older than Terry Bradshaw? 72% of the audience says yes, he does. A good chin.
Juju
Get some of the worst look at the positives, but he does have a good chin in that one. Get me the photo that doesn't have the good chin because there are plenty of those.
Dan
And last poll, bigger game, Clue or Monopoly? Come on, man. 84% of the audience says Monopoly. And those are your polls, Jeremy.
Juju
You should be embarrassed by that. Also add this for tomorrow because I failed to do this justice on Friday in a fight, do you need to beware of the guy with the extra hairy shoulders? Because I think we all know this. And Andre Drummond being seven feet tall and get squaring up like a bare knuckle fighter, that's bad enough, but once he's got the extra hairy shoulders.
Mike
He had the hairy shoulders.
Juju
Yes. I think that makes it all the worst. And I think, I think I could say as a universal life principle in a fight, you have to be beware of the guy with extra hairy shoulders. Let's pick it up tomorrow there. Thank you, Juju. Appreciate the time.
Dan
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Stugotz
Chin still looks good.
Dan Le Batard
Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?
Juju
Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Dan Le Batard
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners, Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
