Episode Overview

Broadcasting from Elser Hotel in Downtown Miami, this "Big Suey" episode dives into college football’s coaching carousel, focusing on the “Nick Saban Rehabilitation Program” and the shifting college sports landscape. The discussion segues into the transactional nature of football coaching careers, the difference between the Saban and Belichick coaching trees, and the identity crisis facing programs like Ole Miss. The tone is signature Le Batard—irreverent, fast-paced, and laced with affectionate ridicule. The episode is punctuated by a running, comically heated debate over movie knowledge—anchored by memorable claims about Anna Paquin’s filmography.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The State of Coaching “Rehabilitation” in College Football

• Nick Saban’s Pipeline vs. Belichick’s Tree
  • Dan explores how coaches like Steve Sarkisian, Lane Kiffin, and Mario Cristobal have revived their careers by spending time as Saban assistants at Alabama.
  • Comparison with Bill Belichick’s coaching tree, which garners less success at the head coach level.
  • Quote (Dan, 04:19):
    "Being next to Nick Saban will catapult you into the sky the same way that being next to Belichick once did for an assortment of people who didn't do much with it. Except for Saban. Save for Saban."
• The Career Paths & Pressures
  • Discussion of Steve Sarkisian’s tenure at Texas—massive expectations, big boosters, and media rumors of a parting of ways.
  • Lane Kiffin as the archetypal “mercenary coach,” unbound to any one program or region.
  • The idea that being close to Saban can “rehabilitate” a career regardless of previous failings.
  • Amin (05:55):
    "There were real problems with Lane, real problems with Sark. Cristobal's was just failure. That's all it was."

2. The Business of College Football & Its Human Fallout

• The Power Dynamics
  • Revealing the transactional nature of top-tier coaching jobs, especially as college football rapidly evolves with realignment and private capital.
  • Harsh reality for programs like Ole Miss, often seen as a “stepping stone” by ambitious coaches.
• Ole Miss's Position and Lane Kiffin’s Narrative
  • Lane Kiffin’s journey: From once being fired publicly, now considered the hottest name for the Florida job, even possibly leaving a playoff-bound Ole Miss team.
  • Amin (12:47):
    "They want somebody that's completely bought in. Remember, they're the ones being spurned here... but Lane Kiffin is the only candidate…Why do this? Why adhere to this contrivance? So it leads me to believe that the Ole Miss thing is real."
• Mercenary Coaches as the Norm
  • Dan characterizes the sport as a brothel: coaches are renters, relationships with programs are transactional, and sentimental attachments are illusory.
  • Dan (20:32):
    "…if the business of this sport is a bit of a brothel, like, this relationship was never real with you."
  • Zaslow analogizes it to a 90s rom-com: a business arrangement with accidental emotional investment.
  • Zaslow (21:59):
    "The falling in love wasn’t part of the plan. That’s what happened. Ole Miss...then Lane Kiffin kind of, like, put out a cigarette and left some cash on the bed and said, ‘Hey, you knew what this was when we started.’"

3. Pop-Culture Detour: The Great Movie Knowledge Debate

• An escalating, hilarious exchange over who qualifies as a “movie guy.”
  • The group quizzes each other on films ranging from “Dodgeball” to esoteric 80’s and 90’s titles.
  • Chris Cody admits to lying about having seen “The Pianist,” confusing Anna Paquin’s award-winning role in “The Piano.”
  • Chris Cody (35:53):
    "Admission. I lied about [The] Pianist. That was a lie."
  • Zaslow and Amin taunt Chris for his blindspots, especially on foundational comedies and classics.
  • The debate becomes a meta-commentary on performative expertise, with joking references to “suckers” and “frauds.”
  • Notable Moment (29:55-30:05):
    • Dan: "I do believe a mean to know a great deal more about movies than most people."
    • Zaslow: "I do. You know why? Because I watch a shit ton of movies."
• Recurring Gag: "A very young Anna Paquin" — used to expose pop-culture frauds, culminating in everyone catching Chris Cody in a lie about the Oscar-winning actress’s résumé.

4. Memorable Coaching Soundbites – “What’s up, Trevor?”

• Chris Cody plays a classic Bill O’Brien press conference exchange, highlighting the difference in how coaches interact with regular vs. infrequent media attendees.
• Trevor’s Everyman Status
  • Bill O’Brien’s repeated “What’s up, Trevor?” morphs into a running gag about loyalty between beleaguered programs, reporters, and coaches.
  • Dan (41:14): "Trevor's earned Bill O'Brien's love and respect. Here's the guy who's here all the time. Trevor shows up every day to watch shitty BC football."

Episode Tone & Takeaway

The show exudes trademark warmth, chaos, and Miami-centric wit, gleefully exposing the cynicism and comedy at the heart of modern college football. Whether debating the legacy of Nick Saban’s proteges or grilling each other’s taste in Paul Blart movies, the crew embodies the authenticity—and sometimes, the shamelessness—of true sports and pop culture fandom.

For listeners, the episode is equally a primer on the transactional soul of big-time college football and a celebration of passionate, sometimes performative expertise on movies, lawn chairs, or life. And if you're ever pressed on Anna Paquin, remember: The movie’s "The Piano," not "The Pianist."

Smirnoff belongs in that mix. Because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff. Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing it since 1864, which is. I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award winning, they make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So, yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you. You should too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Welcome to the big Suey presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast.

[Chris Cody]

I'm sorry.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now here's the marching man to Nowhere Fat Face and the Habitual Liar.

[Chris Cody]

This episode of the Dan Lebatard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I'm not sure I'm prepared for the how to Avoid injury show.

[Dan Le Batard]

That was an hour. That was an hour of do you actually want to talk about this problem or do you just want to shout at a mountaintop, dumb, dipshit, rich, spoiled, entitled athlete play. And yesterday I wanted to shout play. Cause it came to my city. The traveling circus came to my city. And for the second time, like, I want to see the greatest shooter ever. I want to be able to say that I watched the greatest shooter ever at the end of his career when he was making all these moments.

[Chris Cody]

Norm Powell, Yo, I love Norman Powell. I love watching him play. That's my dog.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know why you're saying that that way. What way?

[Zaslow]

That's how he talks, Dan.

[Dan Le Batard]

The other thing that I wanted to get to since I want to talk about the business of sports today is college and things changing so fast that some of these amateurs like Steve Sarkeesian, and I know he's not an amateur, but he finds himself in a pressure cooker of business that has Desmond Howard saying, hey, don't be surprised if Sark and Texas part ways. Okay, now this is wildly interesting to me. Texas and Oklahoma going to the SEC, Big Ten getting involved in, hey, let's do private hedge fund, $2 billion. The pressure falling on the head of a man who left his last job with a drinking problem. And I don't want to associate drinking problem with pressures, but whatever was happening was making Steve Sarkeesian show up with liquor on his breath in the morning when he had the less stressful job than the one he presently has, which is Texas has all the money. Texas has all the athletes. Texas expects to be good at this. Texas has all of those boosters who help. And he has failed so far at Texas. He is one of the many who came through the great pipeline better than the Belichick tree of how do we rehab get near Nick Saban do with Cristobal. Do it, Kiffin. Do it, Sarkeesian. You know how you rehab get Next to Saban, and we'll slingshot you to every great job that you want. Amazing rehab jobs. If you've been watching the careers of those three people, Cristobal, Kiffin, and Sarkeesian, all of them laughed at in previous stops for a variety of different reasons. Cristobal made it back through fiu. That's the hardest way to do it. Sarkeesian's in the best job. LSU is not the best job. None of the other jobs are the best job. That's the best job. He's got the best chromosomes at quarterback. That pressure is mighty. Desmond Howard saying, don't know if they're going to part ways or not. I want to ask you guys, the Saban rehab path, is it better than the Belichick tree?

Who are you asking?

Aminers as all of you.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, thank you.

[Amin Elhassan]

How do we. What do we do with the fact that Nick Saban is from the Belichick tree?

[Zaslow]

Dun, dun, dun.

[Chris Cody]

Is he from the Belichick tree?

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, he was just D.C. in Cleveland.

[Chris Cody]

No, like, I know, but I don't know Belichick.

[Zaslow]

Can I ask why Cristobal doing an FIU is harder than Lane Kiffin doing an fau?

[Dan Le Batard]

Equally hard.

Same.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't understand how Cristobal needed career rehab.

[Chris Cody]

I don't.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't know how he's lumped in. Like, there were real problems with Lane, real problems with Sark. It's actually kind of similar. Similar.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, the career rehab that Crystal Ball needed was failure. It wasn't. That's all it was.

[Amin Elhassan]

Okay.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was. It was Oregon failure. And it's. How do you.

[Amin Elhassan]

No, no, you. Your timelines are all wrong. Like, he went to fiu, then he was supposed to be in Miami. Met Al golden, said, this guy would kill my career. Took a lesser job over at Alabama, got himself on Willie Taggart staff at Oregon, became head coach when Willie Taggart went to fsu, left Oregon for Miami.

[Chris Cody]

Why did Al golden feel that way?

[Amin Elhassan]

No, no, no. Crucible felt that way about.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, sorry.

[Zaslow]

Okay, who's on first?

[Dan Le Batard]

Regardless, being next to Nick Saban will catapult you into the sky the same way that being next to Belichick once did for an assortment of people who didn't do much with it. Except for Saban. Save for Saban. Is there a second? Who's second? Is it Matt Patricia making his way back through decoordinator at Ohio State? I'm dead serious. Rebel. Oh, it is. Yes. I guess that's a. That's a player. I mean, came up through the staff.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I don't think that counts. He didn't coach them, did he?

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know if the guys who got chances were Charlie Weiss and Matt Patricia and McDaniels and Romeo Crinnell. Cranell might have been the most successful of them.

[Chris Cody]

Bill o' Brien maybe has had something.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. Bill o'. Brien, not really, no.

[Amin Elhassan]

He was. He was with the Texans for a long time. A little bit of success and history looks back on his time and what he dealt with at Penn State as a success. And he parlayed that into the pro job.

[Chris Cody]

And he's doing a really good job BC you know.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you have.

[Amin Elhassan]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you happen to know anything? Get that sound for me, please, Chris. You can't play it enough. Bill o' Brien being angry and then chummy in a way that all of us understood the language of that Mike, do you have any information on what's going on with Sark at Texas? Not just opinions, but information.

[Amin Elhassan]

Well, that Diana report came out that Sark would be interested in potentially the Titans job, and the timing on that was bad for Sark. They haven't been performing well. Went over like a lead balloon. And that's a real thing. It's a real possibility. What Desmond said that there might be a mutual parting of ways, which is why you heard that report of Sark to the NFL in the first place, which if I'm Lane Kiffin, doesn't seem like he's gonna have much pause that right now. All the momentum says that he's gotta go to Florida potentially this week. And who knows what that does to Ole Miss's chances.

[Dan Le Batard]

What are Ole Miss players doing? Ole Miss players now know that their coach is gone, right?

[Amin Elhassan]

Kwon Lacy, like, he's all over the place. If you follow him on media, he was retweeting like he's like right now. If you go to his timeline, it's positive Lane stuff. But before it was like, Lane's quitting on these guys. Like it. It's all over the place.

[Chris Cody]

I wish I could see his time.

[Amin Elhassan]

But you're still pushing crypto there right now. There's. There's rumor and innuendo that Lane might actually take this job. And not just take this job, but Ole Miss might be done with him if he does take that job. And it's been handicapped by some people that are in the know. I'm not one of the people that's in the know. I've heard from people in the know, like, they're Saying he might not coach this egg bull if he takes this job, if it continues to unfold the way that it is. Which is pretty shocking because Ole Miss, by the very nature of being in this College Football Playoff and all the talent being dispersed amongst all these teams, they have a shot at a national title forever. Shit.

[Chris Cody]

Has Ole Miss ever been in this current position they're in right now?

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't think so. Like, they. They had a. Well last year and for whatever reason, this loss didn't stick to Lane. The way that even Syracuse dart through all the interceptions. Yeah, in the swamp against a team that was fighting for Billy Napier, but not a good Florida team. And Ole Miss in terms of resources. You look at that roster last year, they were absolutely loaded. But there is a managing of expectations when it comes to Ole Miss that it wasn't looked at as this huge failure the way that it probably should have been.

[Dan Le Batard]

So the greatest programs in Ole Miss are the most interesting programs in Ole Miss history. Do I have the graduates? Right? It's Favre and Manning are the greatest teams.

[Amin Elhassan]

No, Favre went to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, so it's just Manning. So it's just Manning.

[Amin Elhassan]

Eli and Art, the senior Arch Manning.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, so in the history of Mississippi football, they for one year went in on the Kem DJ Brothers and somehow bought the number one recruit in America. But this part is interesting to me if you're someone who cares about college football and the business of college football and how these coaches get rehab. Because if all of these guys bear all of these people in coaching, if you just strip it all down to what's the point of what we're doing around here? Is it to race young men or is it to get the best job so that I can have the most power? Lane Kiffin being such a mercenary at this point that he would be like, I'll try to win the championship, whatever year, wherever I am, just get me the best job right now that gets me to the next thing. I don't actually care about these players, this program, this city, and. Or winning. Winning, really. I'll win wherever I go. Just get me the best position so that I can coach for the next 10 years.

[Amin Elhassan]

All of this is really unfortunate, and it sucks that the timeline times out that you have to kind of fill this position if you're Florida to get momentum in recruiting, because it's all about getting the guys right. But Ole Miss is so good that it effectively nukes their season. Remember how Lane Kiffin, when he was younger and I was looking back at some of these photos because I wanted to see images of mattresses burning. And it took me to this rabbit hole of Lane Kiffin looking like the weight of the world is on his shoulders as he's about to tell Tennessee he's leaving. He looks so young. It went. I don't know if you guys remember 20 years ago, but it was so poorly received. And everyone's like this immature idiot. You can't leave Tennessee in this fashion. Why are you leaving Tennessee in the first place? He left the USC and it doesn't go his way for 20 years later, after he's done so much to reshape his. In his image. Going through the Nick Saban rehabilitation program after getting fired on the tarmac for the job. From the job that he left Tennessee for for him, to the. For the optics to be. He is leaving a playoff team, a team that has a shot at a national title in the right before that opportunity presents. You don't want him to repeat the same history just because you want to see the growth in Lane Kiffin just for the optics.

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. All right. But. But answer my question on what's real here versus perception not.

[Amin Elhassan]

It's really real. Florida people feel like they have their next coach.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, but not optics on. Let's strip down professional football to its barest greed. Lane Kiffin gets to Nick Saban rehab, and Nick's telling him all the time, hey, Lane, cap, this way, not backward cap. And he's like, really? Is that what we're doing here, Coach? Really? We got all the best players. Every time you and I step on the field, we look around and our players are better than everybody's, and we know it before every game. Why wouldn't Lane Kiffin believe if he can do it at Mississippi or at fau? Wait, you're going to get me Florida's players and money. I don't care about the championship this year. I'll win it the next 10 years. I'll build Alabama. I'll build Georgia. I can go to Florida and have all the money and all the players. I'll do it with anybody. Why wouldn't Lane Kiffin think that?

[Amin Elhassan]

I think this timeline that Lane Kiffin is applying, and maybe it's coming from Ole Miss. He says there's no such thing as an ultimatum. But I would understand why Ole Miss would give an ultimatum.

[Chris Cody]

Well, that could be semantics, too, right?

[Zaslow]

Right.

[Trevor]

Well, I.

[Amin Elhassan]

They. They're trying to win a national title, and they're fully expecting to be in the College Football Playoff with or without Lane Kiffin. And they want somebody that's completely bought in. Remember, they're the ones being spurned here. I get where they're coming from here. But if you're Lane Kiffin, this is a contrivance. Really. You could tell Florida wants you so bad. You are so clearly the number one. If you tell them, stay at bay. Let me finish this out with Ole Miss. I don't think they're gonna hire somebody else. There was reports of a meeting with John Summerall that. As soon as it came out, the reports were that meeting was canceled. Lame Kiffin is the only candidate right now for Florida. Everyone at Florida is so certain Lane Kiffin is going there. Why do this? Why adhere to this contrivance? So it leads me to believe that the Ole Miss thing is real. Just from how we're reading it, I laid it all out for you. Why is there this time crunch to get this thing done now? Even though Laynan has made this mistake before? Mistake? Because the optics were so bad when.

[Dan Le Batard]

He left Tennessee, wouldn't the time crunch just be that? Florida's got all this money. We've got the better job. We're better than Mississippi. Hey, Lane, get over here. We need you to start this job.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm thinking the time crunch is coming more from Ole Miss.

[Chris Cody]

That's what I think.

[Amin Elhassan]

Because he's got this job. He has it there.

[Dan Le Batard]

So you think it could just be not an ultimatum. It could just be them saying, hey.

[Zaslow]

Can you tell us?

[Amin Elhassan]

I understand why Lane's doing it. Lane is the hottest name at the greatest time to be a hot name in the history of the sport. And he is looking at that place like, I have come through personal demons. I've come through what was a terrible experience in Tennessee. I went through Al Davis. This is the job for me. This is where I want to be. I can understand why the temptation is such that he's going to take this job, but, man, I just wish all the parties would understand. But that's hard to explain to Ole Miss when he's leaving you for a team. That right now is a joke. Have you heard of Gold Belly? It's this amazing site I order from all the time.

Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier. That means the football games are more important. That means football time should be Miller Time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Don LeBatard, Lightning Panthers what do you think?

[Amin Elhassan]

Stugats.

[Chris Cody]

Look at this face while I tell this to you, okay? Because I don't want there to be any kind of confusion. You look me right in the eye. Panthers could take that ass, man. This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

What you're doing here, that to me is most interesting. Mississippi has always been a doormat afterthought as a place, just regional identity on. We're last at everything. Poverty, standards, the worst things all happen in Mississippi. For Lane to come in here and play with the emotions of that. With the most mercenary of things, of, I don't care about your Brown Lake. I can win anywhere. And I'd really rather do it near the Blue Martini because it was fun to do it at fau, and I love the sunshine, and my family loves.

[Amin Elhassan]

The sunshine at Blue Martini. Before Lauderdale's closing, they couldn't withstand Lane leaving.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're moving it to Gainesville.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

And the insult. The regional insult.

[Amin Elhassan]

Lane hasn't helped this case either because he's, like, retweeting things. Like, DJ Lagway is possibly saying, this.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is who you married.

[Zaslow]

Yeah. And like, that's part. You're asking Lane to be like, oh, Elaine, I know you love troll. It's like asking Gilbert Arenas, hey, Gilbert, could you be a little bit more kind of, like, demure right here? Like, no, man, this is who he is. If anything, he. The discomfort that Ole Miss feels is fueling Lane, given. That's why he goes on McAfee and he does this whole, oh, yoga and all this stuff.

[Dan Le Batard]

But he's leaving you, and he's cutthroat mercenary. Get a tan. Has grown through the business parts of this. Fired on the tarmac at USC has the scars of, yes, I'm doing this as stepping stones. You don't think me an educator, do you? You don't even expect me to learn from burning mattresses. I kind of like leaving burning mattresses in my wake.

[Zaslow]

Dan. Take it. It's like that's. That's the. That's the kind of. The positive. The silver lining on that. The dark cloud is, man, none of these jobs give a shit about any of us. Now I'm supposed to be, oh, ole Mrs. Feelings. Like he doesn't care because he's. He's been, as you said, not generationally been through this, seen it, seen the.

[Dan Le Batard]

As the head coach of that team. Look, I'm sorry to do this to you, Ole Miss. I really am. I loved when my father would call you Ole Miss anytime they put it in the teleprompter. But Lane Kiffin, you was always using you as a renter. Like, if the business of this sport is. Is a bit of a brothel, like, this relationship was never real with you.

[Chris Cody]

Doesn't Ole Miss know that the minute they hire him?

[Amin Elhassan]

They knew that the minute that they hired him. And I understand why they're hurt, though, because the dynamics change because they're on.

[Chris Cody]

The cusp of a playoff.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah. And that's where the dynamics changed a little bit. But I understand why Lane is doing this. It's not different than when Mario Crispball in Oregon was a better job than Ole Miss ever was. Mario Cristobal left a team that was, I think, playing in the Pac12 championship game at the time because his dream job came available. And for Lane Kiffin, he took your program to heights you never thought possible. Like, he is more responsible for your success than any coach in the history of your program. I would think so. Maybe there's a bit of understanding, but that's hard to separate that emotion. When you're put, you have a good shot at winning a national title because the talent is so evenly distributed.

[Zaslow]

Zaz, I know you're a sucker who doesn't watch a whole lot of movies, but this used to be a big trope in the 90s. The falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Right. That's what happened. Ole Miss. It's like they knew it was a business relationship, and then they fell in love, and they thought it was real. And then Lane Kiffin kind of, like, put out a cigarette and left some cash on the bed and said, hey, you knew what this was when we started.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, the part that's crushing is him so wildly reaching past expectations. This is this whole thing as Lane Kiffin, his boy genius, is wildly interesting because we've seen him climb through the very smallest crevices that South Florida rehab has. He made FAU a bold team with really tiny players. And when you give him the big ones, he's pretty good. He's learned a lot in the last 15 years. The Florida job is a great one. But he will never be hotter than he is right now because he's interesting. This is the Wild west of business. He's perfectly equipped, having Learned business at 30s from the Davises, who will give all the power to Tom Brady to please help me, boy genius. Please teach me football things.

[Amin Elhassan]

And the presumption is his shtick flies at Florida better than anywhere else, because even though they had success with Urban Meyer, that is a Spurrier town.

[Chris Cody]

He loves Spurrier Kiffin.

[Dan Le Batard]

But the whole thing, this carefree, perfect tan, walking into that city, it's wonderful. But Mississippi's betrayal here, because it's. You're sitting here talking about the coldness of the relationship, this regional identity. What do you mean? We can be this close to being the best, and you can do it with Trinidad Chambliss. Like, what do you mean we can come close? Mississippi knows that they have a team that can beat anybody. That's crazy. And it's not even because Mississippi is that good. It's because everyone else is kind of Mississippi. Like Zazzle. You can speak to what's happening at the top of the sport where Louisville looks good one week and then doesn't look another week. Lane Kiffin has built something that is good enough to beat anybody. And Mississippi never gets to be that.

[Chris Cody]

No, it's a crapshoot. And Ole Miss right now would have a home game to start out the playoffs, like they have a home game. And then they'd be two wins away from playing for the national championship.

[Zaslow]

Also, the inferiority complex, right? Ole Miss is sitting here saying, well.

[Dan Le Batard]

What was so good about them?

[Chris Cody]

We're pretty good, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

Look at it like.

[Zaslow]

And it's like, no, you're not, boy.

[Chris Cody]

And you look at Florida, who has three wins right now.

[Zaslow]

But. But imagine that, like, being told, yeah, you're hot, but that's Florida.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'll tell you.

[Chris Cody]

You know what's bullshit, man? You saying that I'm not a good movie guy. Great movie guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're not.

[Zaslow]

There's so many.

[Chris Cody]

You're wrong.

[Zaslow]

Foundational, fundamental movies that you.

[Chris Cody]

Why? Because I haven't seen Dodgeball. That's crazy.

[Dan Le Batard]

By the way, when I heard that.

From the show yesterday.

[Chris Cody]

That's today.

[Zaslow]

Who cares?

[Dan Le Batard]

You're a movie.

[Chris Cody]

I'm a great movie. God, no, you're not.

[Dan Le Batard]

Great movie.

[Chris Cody]

I' you're not a great. You haven't seen any games.

[Zaslow]

Movies.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, whatever, man. I could definitely come up with movies that you haven't seen.

[Dan Le Batard]

Like what?

[Chris Cody]

I've seen every movie.

[Zaslow]

Name one.

[Chris Cody]

Yo, there's too many to name.

[Dan Le Batard]

Name one.

[Chris Cody]

Name one.

[Amin Elhassan]

Name a movie.

[Dan Le Batard]

You haven't seen a movie. So you're claiming that anyone can throw a movie of any kind at you? And you.

[Chris Cody]

Human Centipede, all.

[Zaslow]

Of course I've seen Human Centipede. My point is that Zaz, maybe not anyone, but Zaz, cannot sit here and say, I watched a movie that, I mean, hasn't watched. You haven't watched freaking Dodgeball.

[Chris Cody]

Okay, you keep coming back to Dodgeball.

[Dan Le Batard]

James Vaughn as the part that. Where he has you here. I think we have three cinephiles in our universe who believe themselves to have watched more film than the rest of you. I believe it's Adnan. I don't know who wins here. Samson probably wins, but Amin might think himself in this company. Amin, Samson, and Adnan really are movie guys. And you're a bit like Cody, where if you haven't seen a couple of fundamental things, you're disqualified. You're disqualified from being in the conversation. Amin does a weekly podcast that he's seen all your bad movies. When you throw Centipede at him, that's nothing to Amin.

[Zaslow]

What are you talking about, man?

[Chris Cody]

Paul Blart.

[Zaslow]

Mall Cop is an episode that came out today. I have to watch that. Guess what? That's the second Paul Blart movie I've watched.

[Chris Cody]

Do you know I've seen them both.

[Zaslow]

Do you know that Paul Blart, in the first six days of DVD sales, they made $29 million? Six days? $29 million. That's moving units, my friend.

[Chris Cody]

I had secondhand embarrassment from that movie. The scene where he gets really hammered in the bar. Oh, yeah. I had major second. I didn't like that scene. I couldn't handle it.

[Dan Le Batard]

But you are. Are you walking back from the position that you want to do a movie pod with a meme because you have as much movie knowledge as he does? Because he's. He's disrespectful of your lack of.

[Chris Cody]

It was very disrespectful. You threw it out there like it was nothing. I know. Great. I'm a great movie guy.

[Zaslow]

Why? We're not, first of all, that. We're not doing a movie pod. I can't do a pod with someone who does not know about the subject material.

[Chris Cody]

I'm not doing a movie pod.

[Zaslow]

I'm just saying, like, I felt that way. It would be such a waste of my time.

[Dan Le Batard]

I would never.

[Zaslow]

Such a waste of my time.

[Chris Cody]

I would. I thought this, like, minutes ago, way before you thought that I would never do a movie pod with you. Don't ask me. Don't ask me.

[Zaslow]

You're late. Have you seen the Godfather? I gotta ask questions like that to this guy.

[Chris Cody]

Yo. The yo. Like, are you trying to insult me?

[Zaslow]

I'm just trying to figure out you're a guy who doesn't watch movies, so I don't want to assume things. You've seen Casino.

[Chris Cody]

Don't ask me questions like I'm a sucker, okay? You are a godfather because, you know.

[Zaslow]

So you exhibit the behaviors of a sucker.

[Chris Cody]

Don't ask me questions that are insulting.

[Amin Elhassan]

You know, Garth Brooks turned down a role in Saving Private Ryan because he didn't want to share the screen with Tom Hanks and Matt Damon. He wanted to be the stars. Spielberg countered that by saying, well, what do you want to be. I want to be a villain. Earlier in the process, he got sent the script to Twister, and he's like, I'm not gonna be in this. Why? Because the villain is the twister.

[Zaslow]

That's a good point.

[Chris Cody]

Did you know that? I mean, I knew that.

[Zaslow]

Have you seen Twister?

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Zaslow]

Have you seen Twisters?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah. I like that movie Twister. That Glenn Powell. I like him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, this movie pod that I now want to put together, sponsored by Meadowlark, Is it all going to be zaz? Have you seen this? Because you're really disrespectful of his movie knowledge.

[Zaslow]

I don't respect him at all in the movie space. I have zero respect.

[Chris Cody]

I don't respect you in the movie space. I actually thought that a few minutes ago. I thought that before you decided.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait a minute. No, you got to respect the mean in the movie space.

[Chris Cody]

I don't. I don't have to.

[Dan Le Batard]

He works at it, okay? He really pours himself into it.

[Chris Cody]

I don't even have to work at it, Dan.

[Zaslow]

Why would I respect someone who so clearly disrespects the medium when he hasn't seen such classics?

[Chris Cody]

I love dodgeball. I'm a great movie guy.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, he wants you to come up with another insult other than James Bond in dodgeball, but I'm willing.

[Zaslow]

Yes. Who's in it? Who's in it?

[Chris Cody]

John Travolta. Movie sucks.

[Zaslow]

What's the story?

[Chris Cody]

Yo, I don't need to explain phenomenon to you.

[Amin Elhassan]

Then he have a str.

[Chris Cody]

He's got, like, a disease, but, like, a. He thinks that he's, like, special. Stupid movie man. I don't need to remember. What's Chasing Amy's a great movie.

[Zaslow]

What's it about?

[Chris Cody]

She. She's a lesbian, and they do Finger Cuffs. You know about the Finger Cuffs? That's all I need to say. You know about Finger Cuffs?

[Zaslow]

You watch Collateral?

[Chris Cody]

Not Nursing Collateral. Oh, that's a great one. I know, I know.

[Amin Elhassan]

Seen it.

[Adnan Virk]

I know.

[Zaslow]

Is he Minority Report?

[Chris Cody]

Of course. Great movie. Loving our minority.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have you seen Clifford with Martin Short?

[Chris Cody]

You don't ask me stupid questions.

[Amin Elhassan]

It's a good movie.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can we. Do you know about that? Where you play it with a meme, but a mean plays it with you on the movies? Because I'd be willing to sponsor and fund the podcast of a mean, asking you whether you've seen movies and then getting mad that you haven't seen very basic movies. Because I do believe if we keep doing this, that Amin will put in front of you 150 movies that he will have expected you to see and then would not respect your movie opinion because you hadn't seen those movies. Like I, I think Amin's gonna be right here that there are many things that you haven't seen because Amin has committed himself over the last 10 years so much to watching so many shitty movies.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, that sounds like a waste of time that Amin needs to actually commit so much of his time to become a movie expert. This exercise is going to earn my respect of a mean. That's what this exercise is going to be, not the other way around.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is it though? Because it doesn't sound like it can be had. Because it doesn't sound like you want to hear any of his. But I do believe a mean to know a great deal more about movies than the than most people.

[Zaslow]

I do. You know why? Because I watch a shit ton of movies.

[Chris Cody]

I do too.

[Zaslow]

No, you don't. Yeah, I do. No, you don't.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I do.

[Adnan Virk]

[Chris Cody]

Don Le Batard. John, can you rate my Al Pacino from that billiard scene in Carlito's way if I do it for you? I think it's pretty good.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Okay.

[Amin Elhassan]

Stugats.

[Chris Cody]

You think you're big time? Are you gonna die big time?

[Dan Le Batard]

That is on my infamous scale of 1 to 10.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's a.

[Chris Cody]

That's a 7.6 solid.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's a suey nominee right there.

[Chris Cody]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugach.

[Zaslow]

What you Know about that? English Patient?

[Chris Cody]

I would never watch. Englishman Looks Boring as Hell. I would never watch that.

[Amin Elhassan]

I think I won Best Picture.

[Chris Cody]

I would.

[Dan Le Batard]

Whatever.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, Because. Because boring movies never won Best Picture. Were you crazy?

[Zaslow]

Beautiful Mind.

[Chris Cody]

No, I don't want to watch that. Boring as hell. Who cares? That movie. Boring as hell.

[Amin Elhassan]

It was good.

[Chris Cody]

Beautiful Mind.

[Amin Elhassan]

Ron Howard.

[Chris Cody]

What about him?

[Amin Elhassan]

He directed it.

[Chris Cody]

Okay. Russell Crowe.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah. You won.

[Chris Cody]

I think we're just naming people in Beautiful Mind. Is that we're. Is that the exercise now?

[Amin Elhassan]

Jennifer Conley was nominated.

[Chris Cody]

Cares.

[Zaslow]

Best eyebrows.

[Chris Cody]

Jennifer Connelly. I like her.

[Amin Elhassan]

She was. You know about that Rocketeer.

[Chris Cody]

Although I didn't like. I didn't like the last scene with her in Requiem for a Dream. I didn't like that.

[Zaslow]

You know that. There Be. There Will Be Blood.

[Dan Le Batard]

What?

[Zaslow]

You know about that?

[Chris Cody]

One of the best movies ever.

[Zaslow]

No country for Old Men.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, no Country.

[Zaslow]

All Men's Good. Citizen Kane.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't believe him on that one.

[Zaslow]

Apocalypse.

[Chris Cody]

You don't believe in no country roll, Man.

[Zaslow]

Ask me something. What's. What's the weapon?

[Amin Elhassan]

Yeah, what's a. What's a weapon?

[Chris Cody]

He's got the thing that pops out. It's not a name. There's not a name for that thing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at Levitar show. Is there a name there for that thing that Shakur popped? Popped out.

[Chris Cody]

There's a name.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's not a name.

[Chris Cody]

He made it, like, in his garage.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a cattle thing. It should have a name. What is that thing? One of the scariest weapons in the history of the movies.

[Zaslow]

What? You know about that pianist?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I know about it. Adrien Brody.

[Zaslow]

Very young.

[Dan Le Batard]

Go on.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, like a very young Anna Paquin.

[Amin Elhassan]

I think that was the piano. The very young Hannah Paquin was the piano. Not the pianist. We caught your ass. You don't know about that pianist.

[Dan Le Batard]

I used to. Do you? Or do you not know about that pianist?

[Amin Elhassan]

It was the piano.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you?

[Trevor]

Admission.

[Dan Le Batard]

Admission.

[Zaslow]

Coming.

[Chris Cody]

Admission.

[Dan Le Batard]

Coming.

[Chris Cody]

I lied about penis. That was a lie.

[Dan Le Batard]

I used to say the other lines are in there.

[Zaslow]

I used to think Mina Kimes was the biggest fraud when it came to movies. Because you know if you asked Mina about a movie, she said yes. But she's just read the Wikipedia. She's never actually watched it. This guy hasn't even taken a step of reading the Wikipedia.

[Chris Cody]

That's right, because I don't need to fake it.

[Zaslow]

Adventures of Pluto Nash.

[Chris Cody]

Nah, I would never watch that. Who cares, Norbit? I would never watch.

[Trevor]

Why?

[Chris Cody]

Why is my movie. Why does my movie credibility come from? You have to see as many awful movies as possible.

[Zaslow]

Thousand words.

[Chris Cody]

I never even heard of that.

[Zaslow]

Soul Man.

[Chris Cody]

No, I don't want to watch Soul Man.

[Zaslow]

Why not?

[Amin Elhassan]

You're an ally.

[Zaslow]

White man's burden.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I've seen that.

[Zaslow]

That movie. Who's in it?

[Chris Cody]

Samuel Jackson?

[Amin Elhassan]

No, no, no.

[Trevor]

What is that?

[Adnan Virk]

Blacksmith? Black Snake Moan.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, yeah. I never seen that. I don't know like that.

[Zaslow]

Harry Vilafonte. Yes. Wait, you made that reference. Yo, you know about that?

[Dan Le Batard]

Beetlejuice.

[Chris Cody]

Of course.

[Dan Le Batard]

Beetlejuice too.

[Chris Cody]

I haven't seen Beetlejuice be just yet.

[Zaslow]

Broad.

[Chris Cody]

Whatever, man. Living my life here. I don't have time to see everything.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, it can't be though. Look, he just called you a fraud and can't be. Whatever, man. I gotta live my life. I don't care about movies the way you do. He's. He's testing.

[Zaslow]

That's my point.

[Chris Cody]

But to say I'm not a good movie guy, that's a lie.

[Amin Elhassan]

But very young and a pack back one.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's testing.

[Chris Cody]

No, I lied about that one.

[Dan Le Batard]

He. How many others did you lie about?

[Chris Cody]

Am I ashamed or embarrassed about that?

[Amin Elhassan]

Maybe both. Embarrassed, not shame.

[Zaslow]

Dan, you know who's a movie guy? Roy's a movie guy. You know what's a movie guy? Mike's a movie guy. You know who's a movie guy? Jeremy's a movie guy.

[Amin Elhassan]

And musical theater.

[Zaslow]

You know who else is a movie guy? Chris is a movie guy. You know who else is the movie guys guy? Dan is a movie guy. You know who's not a movie guy? You seen Rambo?

[Chris Cody]

You know I haven't seen Rambo.

[Amin Elhassan]

You ever seen I'm gonna get you, sucker?

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Amin Elhassan]

Well, it's about you and they got you.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'd listen to that pod. Just asking Zaslow, have you seen this? Yes, I've seen this. Good movie. And that's his analysis. Or not a good movie. Or he's just lying about having seen the movie.

[Zaslow]

We gotta hit him up. There's gotta be a limited number of follow ups. Can't just have follow ups until the end of the day. But we're gonna have a limited number of follow ups just to try to determine whether he's actually seen the movie or not.

[Dan Le Batard]

I would say though, Zasla, like this was interesting. I would say that what he's just done to you is he has made Dodgeball a movie that if you have not seen it, it disqualifies you from giving movie opinion.

[Chris Cody]

Why? Why is that? The Movie Dodgeball.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who cares? But I think that's what happened. Am I wrong about this? I didn't think you had this strong opinion about Zaslow until that happened.

[Zaslow]

You know what? It's. It's the crown jewel of all of it. It started with he's never seen Rambo, which I was like, but it's an older movie, okay? It checks out right? Then it turned into. Haven't seen the James Bond movies, okay? And some of them are old, but some of them are pretty new and were big deals.

[Chris Cody]

I'd like to see the James Bond.

[Zaslow]

But then when he hit dodgeball, because then there was a very. Me and Zaz are not that far apart in age. There's a very seminal era of movies. Wedding Crashers, Old School, Hangover, Dodgeball. Like, all those movies came out around the same time. They featured what they called the Brat Pack. Like, that's what they call them. They call them the Brat Pack. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller and all these guys.

[Amin Elhassan]

I think it was a different name, like the Slack Pack or something like that.

[Adnan Virk]

Brat pack was the 80s.

[Zaslow]

Oh, yeah. Some shit like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Thank you, Roy.

[Amin Elhassan]

And a very young Ana Pacquiao and.

[Zaslow]

A very young animac. But the point is, because for him to just have, like, a blind spot to this strong decade of just banger, banger, banger, movies. I know I can't respect him as a movie person. I can respect him in other ways. As a soda drinker, I respect him. But, like, not as a movie person. No.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm sorry that we've arrived there. The reaper has been angry for a while. I've thrown a lot of requests at video today. I will get to that in a second. And I've thrown a lot at Chris Cody today, who has tuned out most of the show, but did find Bill o' Brien an hour later trying to go after Trevor and others. Because this is audio worth replaying.

[Amin Elhassan]

Coach wondering, do you have a message for the fans?

[Chris Cody]

Obviously losing to Notre Dame Catholic school rival 1 8.

[Amin Elhassan]

Now in the season of BC I appeared. I've heard from a lot of fans. I just really.

[Trevor]

Yeah, I'm really glad. You know, I'm glad you're down. I'm not down. Nobody's down. We're fighting. We're competing. You know, it's the second year of this program. Mike, you always come in here with these down questions. Like, you show up, like, once a month or something like that. You come in here with these down questions. I'm not down. I don't know what year you graduated from bc, but this is a program that we're building. Nobody here is down. We're positive we're going to show up and play our asses off against smu. You can go out there in your dark clouded world or whatever it is and do what you want to do. We're not down. The sun is up and we're fighting. That's my message. Message to the fans. What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

How you doing?

I mean, you know that that can happen in any media environment where the coach will absolutely go after the guy with dismissive condescension who's only there once a month. The guy. Trevor's there every day.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Trevor. Trevor is not once a month. Trevor's not once every two weeks.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Trevor's earned Bill o' Brien's love and respect. Here's the guy who's here all the time. Trevor shows up every day to watch shitty BC football.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trev?

[Zaslow]

What do you think the look on Trevor's face was? Did he look at Micah?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. Yes. Yes. That's right, Mike. You show up Downer Mike. You show up once a month. You get out of your news van and instead of a, instead of a microphone, you've got a brush.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

You're not here once. You're not here twice a day listening to shitty Bill O' Brien press conferences.

100%. This is like the local news guy where the local news shows up only when things are a disaster, though. Yeah, this is. Well, no, like go over to the Heat. Manso's around some random third reporter from.

[Amin Elhassan]

From.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, Jim Barry would be the perfect example, actually. Who's Red Cody? He's not leaving the studio.

[Amin Elhassan]

What's up?

[Dan Le Batard]

Barry's showing up, but.

[Amin Elhassan]

Yep.

[Dan Le Batard]

What's up, Ira? What's up, Anthony? What's up, Tim Reynolds SPO being like Greg Co. You show up for the first playout.

[Chris Cody]

You show up for opening night in the first playoff game.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's it.

[Trevor]

What's up?

[Dan Le Batard]

Look, I. I thank you for producing this little wonderful sound from Bill o'. Brien that is absolutely a different language that the old ball coach has with who's showing up for my shitty shoot around and listening to what I have to say after that. I assure you it's Trevor. Trevor's there every day listening to shitty Bill o' Brien press conference.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Trevor. Bill o'. Brien later in life, Bill o' Brien will have Trevor's phone Number. And they will have a beer somewhere.

[Amin Elhassan]

Or three.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Zaslow]

Does Trevor leave an apple on the podium every morning before the press conference?

[Amin Elhassan]

He's a hero, Trevor.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Bill o' Brien feels bad for Trevor. That's what it is. If you're here in the trenches with us watching these shitty practices where I know you don't want to be here, we don't want you here. We're going through this song and dance of all these questions. What's up, Trevor?

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Zaslow]

He's like Bill Belichick at that cheerleading competition.

[Dan Le Batard]

What's up, Barry Jackson o'.

Brien? I don't want to do that yet. I want to.

[Amin Elhassan]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

I want to stay on Bill o'. Brien.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

And Bill o' Brien is going to work every day. And this is what Bill o' Brien's saying.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

No, I was standing next to Belichick. I was at the top of this mountain. Now I'm at BC Football. Look how they're talking about Lane. He was a clown when I was a champion, but now look how they talk about Lane. I'm trying to make the way back. And it's not the easy way. It's not through that Saban rehab program. It's through the Catholics.

[Trevor]

What's up?

[Dan Le Batard]

The shitty Catholic school that'll never win anything. I was. I was James Franklin. I was James Franklin once.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Zaslow]

Does Boston College have to kick up to the Vatican?

[Dan Le Batard]

Less so pennies.

[Zaslow]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

This poor reaper's been waiting for 20 minutes.

[Zaslow]

Reaper got shorter ground to dust by.

[Dan Le Batard]

The last 20 minutes of waiting for this show.

It's the Bucket. And it's presented by Dentex ultimate fantasy football punishment. Learn more and sign your league [e-mail].

The DenTek bucket is. Every week I have the golden helmet of life. No one is happy for me. Jeremy's gonna go first. We are thankful to Dentek as a sponsor. And I am especially thankful to Dentek because it got rid of headaches because of my jaw cracker.

[Zaslow]

Put your mouthpiece in if you want to talk.

[Amin Elhassan]

Sorry. I have the Seattle Seahawks.

[Dan Le Batard]

Dan has told me over and over again. Is great.

[Chris Cody]

They're at the Tennessee Titans.

[Dan Le Batard]

I am. You should throw that back.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's an automatic win.

[Dan Le Batard]

Minus. They're favored by 13 and a half points on the road.

[Chris Cody]

You sure Aunt Paquin wasn't in the Pyrenees? Shoes and piano fraud.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

The Seahawks are 73 and the best team in the sport.

[Amin Elhassan]

Why are we Dolphins?

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, wow.

[Chris Cody]

Best time to have wow.

[Amin Elhassan]

Good time.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nobody's happy for you. Your nipple dance is not embraced by anybody.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Your shoulder shaking is not celebrated by anyone.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trevor?

[Dan Le Batard]

Trevor.

[Zaslow]

I like to run it. I have the Colts.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Colts are at the Chiefs Arrowhead Waterloo game. So I mean help me with this because I wanted Nick Wright, I wanted to make a bet on this game, but he's too shook. So before the end of the show today, help me figure out what the Chiefs Colts bet needs to be so that you have some consequences on on keeping that helmet.

[Zaslow]

Well, first of all, I need to find out have you seen Eraser? What more Eraser.

[Chris Cody]

I can't understand Eraser.

[Zaslow]

Eraser. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[Chris Cody]

Eraser Williams with Schwarzenegger Eraser.

[Amin Elhassan]

I love how he saved the best for last.

[Dan Le Batard]

Have you seen all the Schwarzenegger movies? How many percentage of Schwarzenegger? No, you said of course, but have you seen Eraser?

[Chris Cody]

You ever seen Escape Room?

[Zaslow]

Escape plan, you fraud.

[Chris Cody]

Right, Escape Plan, but Schwarzenegger Escape Room.

[Zaslow]

Get out of here. I'm putting his back, by the way.

[Amin Elhassan]

Sucking like Barry.

[Dan Le Batard]

Putting the Colts back.

[Amin Elhassan]

Back. You're a sucker.

[Trevor]

What's up, Trump?

[Amin Elhassan]

You're a sucker.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're putting a three and a half point favorite.

Oh, they're underdogs.

[Zaslow]

Lions. Lions.

[Amin Elhassan]

You got the Giants at home.

[Chris Cody]

Put it back.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Colts are three and a half. They're three point dogs at the Chiefs.

Yeah, the Chiefs are favored at home three and a half by three and a half.

[Amin Elhassan]

You can't put back a second pull.

[Chris Cody]

You took the Lions doing a lot of things. The Giants. I think he has the Giants or the Lions?

[Dan Le Batard]

Lions or Giants?

[Chris Cody]

Lions.

[Amin Elhassan]

Lions. Oh my God.

[Chris Cody]

Lions.

[Dan Le Batard]

Roy, what do you got? Jets.

[Amin Elhassan]

Hey, new quarterback at Baltimore.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Thirteen and a half point dog at Baltimore.

[Adnan Virk]

The Rams.

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, you got Baker.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah. They're at home, a six and a half point favorite. Big favorite.

[Amin Elhassan]

I mean fun game. This buck schedule sucks.

[Dan Le Batard]

They're broken.

[Amin Elhassan]

I hate it.

[Zaslow]

Is that his an inception?

[Dan Le Batard]

Of course.

[Chris Cody]

Great movie. I got the Falcons. I'll bet you don't even know at New Orleans.

[Amin Elhassan]

Kirk Cousins putting that back. Why is that in the 4 o' clock window?

[Adnan Virk]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard]

Playing the Saints.

[Amin Elhassan]

You have to put it back.

[Dan Le Batard]

You're scared of the Saints.

I got the worst helmet. The titans. I'm a 13 point underdog.

[Chris Cody]

I am having an awful year. We still owe two punches.

[Dan Le Batard]

Punishments I've done a bunch of punishments. I still owe two.

[Amin Elhassan]

And I have your record.

[Zaslow]

Zaz, you seen Remember the Titans?

[Amin Elhassan]

Of course.

[Chris Cody]

Last play is so stupid. That's why I don't like that movie. I'll bet you like that play.

[Amin Elhassan]

This 4 o' clock window is gross. Why is Indianapolis KC 1 o'?

[Dan Le Batard]

Clock? I had the Bears. The Bears are 7 3. They are at home, 2 1/2 point favored against Aaron Rodgers with a broken wrist.

[Zaslow]

You seen Bad News Bears?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, I'm gonna keep bad. That's a good keep. Of course I seen Bad News Bears.

[Zaslow]

You seen the remake?

[Chris Cody]

You know about that.

[Zaslow]

Kelly Lee, you seen Golden Helmet?

[Trevor]

Yeah.

[Zaslow]

Remake.

[Chris Cody]

Not good.

[Zaslow]

You're just saying that. You ain't seen that. I could tell.

[Chris Cody]

No, I saw it.

[Zaslow]

It's not good.

[Amin Elhassan]

What are you doing? That sucker at the time of day.

[Chris Cody]

It's not good.

[Amin Elhassan]

Is this thing good? He's a golden helmet of life.

[Dan Le Batard]

I believe Zaz is a liar and a fraud here. I believe he's hiding a smile behind his mouthpiece because he's been exposed this segment as a person who is not a movie expert. He's called exposed.

[Chris Cody]

We're trying not to embarrass him here.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's called you a fraud to your face. He doesn't respect your movie opinions. He has undressed you in front of everybody.

[Zaslow]

Not in the slightest. You seen the Full Monty?

[Chris Cody]

No.

[Amin Elhassan]

Neither have I.

[Zaslow]

What?

[Dan Le Batard]

You've never seen the Full Monty? No.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm getting to it, folks. The leaves are turning, the weather's getting a little chillier. That means the football games are more important. That means football time should be Miller time.
