So they're referencing pain back there, just being pretty elusive and not wanting to say much. So we respect that and then get them back. So the physician goes in to assess, a little bit later comes out and orders some abdominal imaging. A little while later, imaging is ready and we review it to find a foreign body lodged nicely between those pelvic bones. Ah!
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yeah, so like a little callback. This person biked in. Right, oh my God, yeah. All I can imagine hearing this is every pedal revolution, you know, just going up a little bit further each time.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
So it definitely had the structure of a bottle. The person just wasn't really saying a whole lot to everyone. So it had a bottle like shape, but I wouldn't be able to be like, oh, that's a Coke bottle or something.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
But we're a rural hospital to try and get creative with what you have. Babies do get delivered here. And there are like vacuum assisted devices for babies that It was pitched to see if maybe that could work. Ultimately didn't go with that because the physician could barely reach the object.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
He said he could barely touch it with his finger. Wow.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
This physician's probably like your stature too.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yes. So he could feel it a little bit. But obviously a vacuum can't suction to that small of a piece and that piece of plastic, whatever it might have been. It took a lot of convincing and encouraging, but he really needed to go to the city to have a procedure to get it removed. The other concern with the imaging was there's free air on the x-ray, which means something might have perforated.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
So there's more severity there that you don't want to mess around with rurally. And then also if you were just to simply like pull it out, it creates a vacuum.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Or like have another hole in it elsewhere to kind of help prevent a vacuum and have all the intestines come with it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
I mean, there's a lot to think about. Yeah, a lot to think about beforehand. This poor person, they finally came around to heading to the city. So a lot of times people don't necessarily come back for discharge or anything like that. Usually when they go, that's the last time we'll see them.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yeah. The next day he came back into Emerge to pick up his bike seat.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
I know. I feel so much for this person. It would be such a hard thing.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
The fact that he biked there in the first place. Yeah. I don't know what kind of procedure he had. It obviously wasn't an open abdominal anything because they were able to walk in the next day. Do we know what it was?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yeah. I don't have confirmations of anything. Just what I saw on the x-ray, which was impressive for sure.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
It definitely looked like a drink bottle. Oh, wonderful.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
I think it might have come up a bit more opaque, too, with the liquid in it. But yeah, classic slip and fall. I'm sure many nurses have this story. Yeah.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Plot twist for sure. The bike ride in couldn't have been comfortable.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
It's also a small rural town. People know everyone, right?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yeah, I figured it might be appealing in that sense based on what I've heard in the past.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
I've been listening to you guys since it started. This is crazy to see behind the scenes.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yes, I'm at work in a nice, fancy little telephone booth.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yeah, right. Yeah. I'm out of the bedside now. So I'm in health care education and simulation.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
No, I definitely have a lot of stories, but this one has just always been kind of in the forefront. So I've been in the emergency room for most of my career. Always small town, always rural hospitals. So you can get creative.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Wood splitter against foot, you know, never a good thing. So I've done some travel nursing too in small urban cities to fly in fly out communities.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Fly in, fly out? More on the coast, in BC or up in the Yukon.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
And be able to make a good income and have some paid travel and accommodation and learn and Meet a lot of cool people and see the country at the same time.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
If they're with nurses or other health care providers. Sure. But not a layman. Not for civilians. So small town emerge. Someone comes into triage after biking in from a neighboring community. It's like a 15 minute drive. So it's not a short bike. comes in not really saying much, not making great eye contact, being a little elusive, just repeating that he wants to see a doctor.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
We try and obtain a little bit more pertinent information. The triage process is important and only get out of them pain back there.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II
Yeah, it could happen. And then also at the same time, like you're writing it down. So that's a whole other added layer that people don't love.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Yeah. I thought I read somewhere there was a service of people that will do that. Like, they'll spread the ashes for you at a set of events. They weren't spreading that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Hold on a second. Didn't even spread them? Just went out for vacation? Like a trip?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
That's odd, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Jessica, we can do a think piece about...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
And we were super confused.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Like, how do they know that they actually observed or witnessed the game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
What a faux pas by Uncle Frank. You vacuum it and what do we do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Greg, you said your teeth are permanent because of your gums, but when you die, your gums erode. So do your teeth then fall out?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
You know that sound. It's the sound of money hitting your Venmo account. A friend paying you back. Or maybe it's getting cash back from your favorite business when you pay with the Venmo debit card. Or it's realizing you can pay with Venmo at checkout at thousands of brands. Now, there are so many more ways to answer the question, what's your Venmo? Download Venmo today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
The Venmo MasterCard is issued by the Bancorp Bank N.A. Pursuant to license by MasterCard International Incorporated. Dosh cash back terms apply.

Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Katie, enough shenanigans. Just to catch you up on what we were talking about earlier, who do you think would be the easiest tight end to kill? Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Well, both. Easiest and hardest, yeah. Easiest? I mean, Gronk. Well, naturally, we were talking about immortal tight ends because of the game that we had this past weekend. Sure. Yeah. Gronk, we were talking about it off air, outside. I think that Gronk would be the easiest to trap in a box with a stick. Yes. Yeah, you can lure him in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
And then you get him, like, in a bamboo cage, and you just kind of let him, like, run around in there. And it's fun. Like, I wouldn't want to kill him, right? Yeah, I wouldn't either. But heaven forbid he gets out, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
As one does this time of year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I think he would love to be a one-trick actual pony. Yeah, he loves triple doubles. He would be a pony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
But why against children if it's a dream? Like, why wouldn't you dream of being athletically dominant over athletes? Because I can't imagine. If you're going to dream, dream. Yeah, dream big.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
No. It's awful. All right. What if your soup tasted like Werther's? Yes. That would be good. Yeah. That would be good. Different game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Why do old people like hard candy? Like you would think with the teeth situation that we'd be looking for like softer things, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Because you won't allow it? Like if you did lose your teeth. No, I'll never lose my teeth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Well, let's say you get in a skateboarding accident. You lose some teeth. Are you going to get dentures or you're just going sans teeth moving forward? I would probably go sans teeth. Really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Lucy watches on planes and she doesn't want Feinbaum to see also.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
How do you get that through security? In her pocket? Did they buy the ashes a ticket? What kind of bag was it? You could just walk past security with powder in a bag?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
That is odd. Yeah.

The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
No, but he sat behind me on a flight. And I was so nervous because I knew he was going to be watching my screen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
um it's c none of the above so we went to the sec championship game at mercedes-benz last year and we were shocked by how like crappy the atmosphere was right you had the same complaints last year yes yeah atlanta is also like the where the way that stadium is kind of located and like what's around it it's just not ideal for tailgating and you combine that with the weather so we were like well this is a tough situation that we're in we'd
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
knew what we were going into. Plus, we knew it was the last off-roading of the year. So if I messed up, there wouldn't be that many consequences. So we went to the aquarium instead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
We also went to the World of Coke as well. We went to both. The World of Coke?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I found Dan. Just a joke. I need a job, please. Don't fire me. Hi, Dan, it's Lucy, and we are at the National Championship, the last game of the season, the last off-roading of the season. Now I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news is it is like 12 degrees outside, and I'm not exaggerating. It is literally so cold. No one's tailgating. No one's doing anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Good news is no one's tailgating. No one's doing anything. And it's the last off-roading of the season, so we're going to do whatever we want today. So I think we're going to go to the aquarium, maybe the World of Coke. We're really just going to live Atlanta up like the tourists that we are. This is what I look like after 20 weeks on the road, 20 college football games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Any predictions for the game today? Notre Dame or Ohio State? How does it smell? Like fish. Oh, I touched it and it's so gross. No, they were fast. These guys would go for at least a mil on the portal. Do you agree with Chris Cody's take that you should switch sport allegiances? That dolphin has a very foul mouth. Jesus. They do not agree. We're at the World of Coke now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
We're going to try a bunch of soda. This is roast before the soda.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Nothing beats a Diet Coke. Too sweet for me. Bad. Too sweet. Cough medicine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I don't love it. I don't think that's half bad. So, so far, no one from Notre Dame has wanted to talk to us. So this is how I imagine an interview with a Notre Dame fan would go. Hey, do you think Marcus Rieman is super hot? Yes, I do. He's so hot. Do you miss Brian Kelly? Not even at all. I hate that guy. He's the worst. Do you like dressing up like a leprechaun?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Yeah, it's not weird that I'm a grown adult dressing up as a leprechaun. It's really cool and awesome. Do you know Jessica Smetana? Yeah, I do. She's perfect. She's the love of my life. She's amazing. Awesome. Do you watch The Levitard Show? No. And that's it. How confident are we feeling today? A thousand percent confident. I mean, we're here to play, but it's not really competition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I mean... What's the deal with the hat?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Does Ryan Day dye his beard? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But dyeing your beard's not a mistake. What do you guys miss most about Brian Kelly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Not even how red his face got? Is losing to that team maybe a good thing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
If there are any takeaways from this, the expanded playoff works. Still, it matters. With a loss to Michigan and Oregon, Ohio State wouldn't have made it. And now they're here and they're national champions. And they're going to go down as one of the better national champions of all time. So this ruled, I am so tired in general. I'm from a long, fun day in Atlanta. Thank you for this opportunity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It never feels real. I don't know what I'm going to do until August. I vote nothing. But I don't think Medler will approve that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
She would kill me. That would not go well. I can't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
She's also blocked me on everything. I wouldn't be able to get a hold of her. She even blocked me on Venmo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Her name in my phone is the literal worst human alive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I do sort of agree with that take a little bit. However, she blocked me the second we moved out. So I don't think she knows any of this is happening. Let her have it. We don't even know if her real name is Emily. That might be a lie. I may have given you a fake name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
No. Oh, not a bad guess. Good guess, though. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Oh, no, I'll quit this job before I spend time with her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I saw some really great submissions that I'd be happy to read that people submitted. I said, fine, I'll do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Yeah, I saw that one. I thought that one seemed really fair. I saw one that said... Lucy's punishment should be she goes to a bookstore and has a lovely day. And that kind of feels like a good choice. Right. I saw one that it said Dan should pay my student loans. And I said, well, that feels like a really good challenge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
What about I really will.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
How many movies are there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Lucy gets a spa day? That was a really good suggestion. I don't know who sent that in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I touched a little stingray. I feel like that should count.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
There were let's just say there were a couple. I saw two people, but I'm not going to throw anybody under the bus. I will throw myself under the bus, and I believe that I accidentally cut the line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Yeah, no, let me tell you. So I get to the airport two hours early. Talk slowly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Okay, I probably should have gotten there a little earlier. I walk in, and there's no line. It is just like... felt like thousands of people just all herded together. There was like a tiny semblance of a line. So I got in what I thought was that line. No one knows what's going on. It's almost all Notre Dame fans. So everyone's kind of in a bad mood to begin with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
And then they're telling you like, hey, you're going to have to wait three hours for security. I'm like, fine, whatever. I know there's another flight. I'm very chill about flight stuff. It goes wrong. What are you going to do? And then they start like putting kind of trying to put lines together. It's not going well. I see two media members. They're behind me in line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I'm like, oh, I know who they are. I turn around and I see them just go ahead and said, whoa, you can do that. I did not do that. I stayed where I was. Then all of these people came together. So many people were cutting me in line that I just cut a couple of people in line because they cut me in line. And then there was this one woman with blonde hair and red pants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I don't know if that rings a bell for anybody. She was atrociously cutting the line. I almost said something to her. But then I realized, you know what? I don't care that much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
There was there was no strategy other than me turning around and saying, oh, I think those people were actually ahead of me. My bad. Lucy, like it was totally accidental. It was the worst I've ever seen an airport. I felt like I was at war. So it was insane.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It got worse after I left. So like I, it probably took me like a bit, like an hour, hour, 15 minutes to get through security. And it got more organized after I left, but it got busier to, when I was there, there were no lines outside.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
There were lines outside by the time I boarded my plane where like you were in TSA pre-check line, which was like 90 minutes long where general boarding was three hours long. And you were outside in Atlanta, which was like in the polar vortex. So it was like 15 degrees outside. I've never seen anything like it. I did make my flight. I got to my gate five minutes before boarding.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
First class was empty. Like, the plane was completely empty because so many people missed their flights. First class.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
No, but I'll give you a hint.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But I'll give you a hint. I'll give you a hint. This one's not going to be shocking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I don't blame anyone except for that one lady in red pants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Like, just the airport was terrible. The game experience was interesting because it was so cold. It was freezing. You guys are lucky you're talking to me today. I got windburn on my face. I looked like I had terrible blush for days. It was awful. But the game was fun. They had a speaker too loud, which was kind of annoying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
DJ was bad. I'm a firm believer that, especially in college football, you should never have a DJ. It's fine to have someone in the back putting on music. The University of Georgia had the best music I've ever seen at a football game. They were very, very good. But I don't want to be hearing from a DJ throughout the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
And it would go from like they did a lot of like good sort of timeout hits about, you know, MLK Day. So they had like black historians come and talk about these famous black athletes who kind of paved the way at Notre Dame at Ohio State. And then it would go to the DJ and begin singing along to like Hot to Go or something. Just he wasn't just playing music. He was singing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
And and the speakers were so loud. It was just, it was too much. And he was trying his best, so I don't want to shit on him, but like, try less.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
um jess actually watched the first half of the game with us and she said something where it was like i feel like this is kind of an nfl energy where i felt that too and i don't know if it was just like the stadium or like sometimes i think that when they go to these neutral site games they play so much into like okay it's a neutral site game so we need a dj we need you know these like silly little games during these these media timeouts or whatever
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
where I kind of wish they had introduced more of like, okay, here's a song Ohio State likes to play, where when we went to the Big Ten Championship game, they did like a pretty decent job of, you know, each sort of break would be designated to a certain fan base, so it kind of reminded you of being in Happy Valley or being in Eugene, and I didn't really get that here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It ended up being a much better game than I anticipated. By halftime, I was like, oh, buddy, we're in for one. This is not going to be good, but obviously turned around, so the energy stayed up, but it was like... You risk that every single time you go to a neutral site college football game. I think the only real neutral site college football game that's awesome is Red River.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That would have been awesome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship

You get a cool trophy. That trophy's awesome. I hate the Pop-Tart Bowl. Why? It's awesome. Yeah, it's like the biggest bowl outside of the ones that matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
All right. Needs a better name? What's better than Pop-Tart Bowl? It just needs a better one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You hate Camping World Stadium, right? It's an awful stadium. Yeah. Every year it feels like it's there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
It's probably a must-win. Like, you don't want to lose the Pop-Tarts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
No, you wouldn't. Oh, please. Mario Cristobal last year. I don't want to go to a bowl game. I'd rather opt out of it. What? What are you, Marshall?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
It's not the Tony the Tiger Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Let's do it. Iowa State's in it, so Lucy might be rooting for Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Oh, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Isn't there also a mystery Pop-Tart to be revealed? There is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Give me a Gator Bowl. I mean. And the Rose Bowl has a parade. It's about football and Pop-Tarts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Lucy. Lucy.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
And then to take it a step further, you know, just a couple weeks ago, James Corden was stepping down and said, you know who would be a great replacement for him? Me. I could do that. I could replace James Corden, right? I actually agree with you on that. If I don't have to move to L.A.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
and I could just do this somewhere near the Tamiami area, like they have an old, you know, theater that's kind of abandoned right now. Maybe we do something there. I mean, people like to come to Miami, right? Turn the abandoned Kmart into your late, late show studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
That's a good question. It seems like a package deal. They're getting towed?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
She was dressed like a showgirl, right? Not like a pageant. I think that's the mistake we made.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
We faded her down when we listened to Jeremy all day? Why did we fade that down? What is this? This is a crime against humanity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I still don't understand how Carvana works, because there's one of those right next to Topgolf. They make it seem like it's a car vending machine, but it's not like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Like, I don't swipe my card and then, like, push, like, A15 and then... It's quite the shot game. Dodge Ram comes down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Yeah. A lot to learn. Anyways, how many toys do you think we've collected?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Is Tony scaring people, maybe? Can he just take off the beard? Why is he wearing a costume? Because he's Cuban Santa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What is happening?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Don't you miss viewing sports through that prism, though? Like, I'm envious of Lucy. Like, I wish that I could still be happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
We also didn't say that. Dan Campbell said that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I'm tired of it. Billy, why does that delight you so much? It's a big day today. Today's championship day in the NBA Cup. Christ enough. Yeah, today's a championship. Bucks against someone. Oh, LeBron didn't make it, huh? Well, he took vacation. The Bucks against somebody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Oh, yeah, the Thunder. That's right. Big one.

Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I just we don't know these people. I think this is all like really weird. They're they're very young. I don't I saw some of this on social media and I was like, that's enough social media that I put my phone down. I think it's weird to harass college athletes. I think it's weird to harass professional athletes about like their dating lives. We don't know them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I just it's gotten a little weird and I would like to just ignore that it's happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
And Brittany Mahomes is a public figure now. This is, I think, a slightly different situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Doesn't get you very far around here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Just to put a bow on this Travis Hunter thing, Dan, if other people want to do all that stuff, they can do it. I feel like, personally, I don't need to do any of it. Not for me. Maybe for other people, not for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Well, to your point, Dan, yes. I think what I've seen on the internet is sort of a lot of people assuming things about people they don't know and making really kind of weird comments about people they don't know when it does feel like it should be a week to celebrate him and what a great football player he is. Obviously, he is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Also someone with internet celebrity and has sort of welcomed some of this fame into his life. Like, I understand that aspect of it. But, like, I, as a football fan and someone that's not super invested in his personal life, I'm not that interested in that conversation. I'm more interested in the football part of it, which is that he was... Yeah, right. What position is he going to play?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Who's going to draft him? What's he going to do in the NFL? Who's going to win the Heisman next year? That conversation's already started. There's a lot of other stuff to me that's more interesting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Before we officially conclude our Heisman conversation, Jeremy had something he wanted to add to the frame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Kevin Clark, Poppy. Who are the other three?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
How many Boise State games did you watch this year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I feel like the argument for Gabriel is that he is QB rating-wise right there with Cam Ward, threw as many touchdowns, but is just not going to give you the same type of style of play as Cam Ward. But I guess I could see why you would vote for him instead of Cam Ward when he played multiple top 25 defenses. Miami really didn't have those kinds of games this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I agree that Cam Ward is a great quarterback. That's why I said Miami's going to win all their games. They didn't. They disappointed me, but I thought he single-handedly could do it. And, you know, single-handedly he almost did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
But his Heisman odds did go down after the Georgia Tech game. That was sort of the turning point on the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
If he played better in that game, I think it would have given him a lot of momentum into the ACC championship weekend, which I think a lot of people, their last thing that they saw was Jenty putting up these ridiculous stats in championship weekend. Travis Hunter, his last couple games of the season, he had outstanding games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
So yeah, I think it helps having momentum in the last half of the season. And Miami definitely didn't have that. Cam Ward, I think, was maybe a little bit of a victim of that.

I've never been to New Orleans, so I'm actually really just excited to go. I'd like to have a beignet. Maybe I'll get a beverage or two and make it appropriate since Venmo is sending me. And by the way, quick shout out to Venmo. They're my favorite social media app. That's where you learn all the good stuff that's happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
Maybe. I don't know. I will say, Billy, get well soon. However, really good news. Rose doesn't have to do as much work now and we get to hang out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
Oh, I think so. Okay, thank you. Well, us hanging out is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
Dan, you were with me last year at Radio Row. We were there together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
You just said you do miss her. I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds. You know, what am I? Hello. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
We carpooled, and on the car ride over, you talked to me about had I been to Radio Row before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
Yes. So here's the thing. Here's the situation. I have had a great time on off-roading, potentially too great of a time. So I'm not permitted to make company purchases. So I was told that I would be getting an Iguanodon thing in the mail. And I did. And I went online and I looked and it was $900 for a costume. And I thought, hmm, even that's a little intense. So this is what showed up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
is this really janky Iguanodon t-shirt that I definitely didn't make myself. I would have never done that. I would have done a much better job. Perfect. Way to go, Lucy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
Dan, I walked to get coffee this morning. Everyone was like, is that a band? What is on her shirt? Why is it not level? And why are the letters spaced out? It was incredibly embarrassing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
Dan, I feel like you don't remember last year's show, because five minutes ago you asked me if I had been to the Super Bowl. Listen here, Iowa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
I worked so hard. This is so rewarding.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I can make it work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I'm judging you because you made it sound like Jeremy's at the mall going up to people and be like, oh, my name's Jeremy. You want to be my friend? That is what he's doing. I cannot judge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Thank you, Lucy. No, because he's going up and talking to salespeople. That's completely different. I cannot judge that because when I lived in Miami and I couldn't make friends, I got so desperate at a point that I was going up to people on the street asking them to be my friend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Honestly, good for Penn State. We saw last year that Penn State really made some... You're only going to get as far as James Franklin can take you when you're Penn State. So bringing in good coordinators has already made such a huge difference in bringing Andy Kodelnicki in last season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
It made a huge difference with the Penn State offense, with Drew Aller returning, and Penn State has so much talent coming back to go poach the defensive coordinator for the national championship winning team, arguably the best defensive coordinator in college football behind Phil Parker.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
it was just such like a we are taking this so seriously move like this is what exactly what i think penn state needed to do now jim knowles will probably be the highest paid coordinator ever in college sports because he is just they really really wanted this move and so it seems lateral to people sometimes it even seems like okay you're taking a lesser job jim knowles is gonna make so much money and penn state has really just positioned themselves to be sort of a favorite going into next season
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I would have gone with Jim Knowles honestly would have been my answer with, I know that some Ohio state fans aren't happy with the amount of time it took for him to really get Ohio state to the level he wanted to, but he's a game changing coordinator.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Like he can really take your defense from, from something that's solid, from something that's average to a national championship winning defense where obviously Ohio state had a great offense this year. Obviously they had some of the best receivers in the country. But their defense was really what solidified them as the best team in the postseason and the best team in college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
So I like what Penn State did. I really, really think that the decisions that I'm seeing Penn State make, which I never would have thought I'd say this, especially about James Franklin, but good move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I don't love it. I think kind of one of my more people might not agree with takes with NIL is I kind of hate that the responsibility has come on to the fans. I will never donate to Iowa's NIL. I'm just not going to do that. I think there are better things I can give my money to. And I don't like, especially when like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
you'll have coaches come out after a bad loss i know mark stoops did this at kentucky and be like oh well you want us to win it's your responsibility to do that and i think a service like this kind of pushes that narrative that like if i want my favorite team to win a national championship game i have to go give them money
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I kind of hate that a lot because I think that especially college football, where most of the fan bases aren't these big, you know, major cities, they're small Midwestern areas, you know, the South, like it's not super wealthy, wealthy areas to ask the fans fund these teams I really actively hate. So I don't love that. I think it's like a like a nifty idea. I would never participate in it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
And I think that it does sort of spread this kind of idea that like you have to give money to your team when a lot of fans are already giving money to their team. They're already buying merch. They're already buying season tickets. They're already going to games like you guys are bleeding us dry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
He seems like a not nice guy, and he's always been a not nice guy. I don't care for him, and I hope he has the day he deserves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
That's how I get people when they're really mean to me. I'm not like, go F yourself. I'm like, I hope you have the day you deserve. It's a great kind insult. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I thought we had. I went through, I looked at all the responses. Half of them made me incredibly uncomfortable, and I think it's inappropriate for a lot of you to have asked me to do the things that you did, but there were some good ones. Like, Lucy goes to the bookstore, has a nice day. Okay, sure, I could do that. Lucy goes to the spa. Okay, sure, I could do that. Lucy goes to the mall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Okay, sure, if that's what the people want me to do, then I'll do it. There was one. Dan pays off Lucy's student loans. Okay, sure, I'm fine with that. That seems like a good challenge. People are giving good ideas, and then I bring them to you all, and then you get mad at me because you don't like the ideas that have been given.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
If I go to the bookstore, then I have to walk to the bookstore, cold outside. What if they don't have the book I want? That's a problem. There's so many things that could go wrong going to the bookstore that it's honestly kind of even reckless and dangerous for you to ask me to do anything, but I'll settle for going to the bookstore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
Dan, my parents are divorced. I can't be spoiled.

Look, it makes you a little cranky. I'm not much of a bowler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I wonder why it didn't go to you. Listen, you just cut me off and I had another good point. Now I forgot it. No, just kidding. I didn't. I think bowling is really expensive in Miami. I remember Taylor was telling me that if you wanted to go bowl downtown, it was like $100. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Iguanodon (feat. Lucy Rohden)
I'm just confused by the idea of a bowling rave. I would like more details if anyone has them.

Kirk Herbstreit has solved this problem. He came out and said, my son runs my social media accounts for me. Every tweet I've been sending, it's actually been my son, which is definitely the biggest lie of the year. What? Yeah, no way. No shot. He literally did. He was like, I'm not on social media. My son runs my, he said, well, he said a buddy. Actually, my son runs my account. No shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
Yeah, absolutely. His son has been really active online, offering prayer support to everybody. He's been tweeting like crazy, but not Kirk Herbstreet, who does love to go on air and be like, you know, the Ohio State fan base is vile. They're so nasty online. But how would you know that? Because your son runs your account.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Well, the concealer we have does not match Greg's skin tone at all. Okay, this isn't working.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
We needed an orange concealer, a color corrector, which we do not have, and we need a foundation that matches Greg's skin tone, which we do not have. And the glue sticks we got were scented, so I think we needed a different type of glue stick, but we're working on it.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
Why do you think everyone hates Texas so much? You got better spirit, a better fan base. They hate us because they ain't us. How much joy does it give you knowing that you guys are here competing for a national championship potentially, and South Carolina is not, even though they beat Yale?

So, like, have you watched an episode in the last two years?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mina Kimes and Greg’s Eyebrows
I don't believe you. If you had to guess what my name is, what do you think my name is? Emily. We had such a great time. And the game ended up being, like, way more fun than we thought it would. There were a lot of points. A little too many points. Kind of alarming how many points. But nonetheless, great time. And Texas will – well, I'm not going to go to that game in Atlanta. But have fun.

The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
I think it's so situationally like... It really depends, especially in the college game where you look at a player like Kyle McCord who didn't have a bad year at Ohio State by any means, but just wasn't the right fit there. You could say that, okay, they weren't able to predict what he would be correctly. He goes to Syracuse, has a phenomenal year, receives Heisman votes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
He has such a great season. So even though there are people getting it wrong, it really does matter so much the situation where like... You can get it wrong for your situation, but someone else can get it right. That's just kind of the joy of football. Are you going to have a good quarterback? Is it going to work out? It's so insane if we think about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
One of my favorite fan events to go to is the NFL Draft because you have to be kind of nuts to go stand outside in Detroit in April at night to just hear a name be called because you genuinely don't know how it's going to play out. It's sort of why we like football, I guess. And the punts. I like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
I saw someone describe it as like Cam Ward is probably 5% too confident in Cam Ward, and if he just knocked it down 5% it would be perfect. But he played very different than anyone else this season, where you're out watching Miami football and you're knowing that he will win whatever game he steps out and plays for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
And I will say this year is a little different because it's not a particularly kind of stacked
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
quarterback class which is something we sort of knew coming into this season Quinn Ewers was hurt this season a little bit disappointing Carson Beck had a down year like there wasn't as much competition to sort of compare him with but he had like an insanely good season and he played with a confidence we haven't really seen in a college quarterback since I don't know maybe Joe Burrow and just the swag that he had
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
No, not one. I'm an Iowa football fan. I'm not used to watching the quarterbacks ever. I think something that I, as a sports fan, always kind of sit and just think about is that there are 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and this is such a tough job and such a difficult position that there are not 32 people in the world who are excellent at something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
crazy and then you go look at the at the college ranks where overall like college quarterbacks aren't that good like this is the highest level that a lot of these players are going to like play at it's just sort of one of those things which is kind of why i like college football is because i'm like this is yucky and it's gross and it's funny but like when it comes to quarterback evaluation i don't think anybody except for maybe the packers are good at that
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
I'm going to say something. I'm going to be vulnerable for a second. I believed that Cade McNamara was going to be a really good quarterback for Iowa. And that was tough. That ended up being really wrong. The guy Iowa got now is going to be super good. He's going to be awesome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
But it's one of those things where, especially when you're in the transfer portal and the market is so different than it is right now, you're convinced every single guy is going to be the savior for your program. And overall, college quarterback is just not that good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Mike Norvell thought DJ Uyungle was going to save his program. You didn't do that vulnerably. I already did mine. I said Cade McNamara.

Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
I've never said anything about him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
He still does that weird little run. So until he stops doing that, I can't trust him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
It's crazy. Crazy. I would say something that Chip Kelly said, I believe a few years ago, was that he kind of thinks college football is heading in the direction of where Notre Dame is. Because although Notre Dame is independent in football, they have conference allegiance in other sports. They're in the ACC for basketball and a couple other sports. I believe they're in the Big Ten for hockey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
So like, it does sort of seem like a natural move to take football out of the conference equation. But if you look specifically at the playoff, once you advance to the next round, you bring X amount of money for your conference back to the Big Ten, back to the ACC. Well, not the ACC. They're not bringing anything back. But the SEC is bringing stuff back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Notre Dame gets that all for themselves, where Texas makes it to the playoff. They're in the last four standing, and they're sharing that money with Arkansas and Mississippi State. Notre Dame gets that whole thing for themselves, and it's just not fair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Is it hard for you to hate Notre Dame knowing how hot Marcus Freeman is? Because when Brian Kelly was there, it was so, so easy. But now that they've got a hottie, it kind of changes things a little bit. It's been tough because I'm like, you're so hot, I want to like you, but Notre Dame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Oh, he definitely is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Then you do it right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
I'm not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Shave your eyebrows right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
If you think everyone should do it, then you should have no problem being like, I'll just do it on my own. I'll start the trend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Then do it. Shave your eyebrows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Have you seen Voldemort? He doesn't have eyebrows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
I have a solution here, okay? I follow a lot of, like, special effects makeup artists on TikTok, and I think that I, with a glue stick and some concealer, could make it look like you don't have eyebrows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Can someone get me a glue stick and concealer?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Because they make me look good and they frame my face. Have you seen what happens when someone goes Pamela Anderson on their eyebrows? They look like a completely different person. There's a reason in every sitcom ever there's always one weird episode where someone burns their eyebrows off and they look so ridiculous. You need them to look nice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
You just keep being like, okay, I don't need eyebrows, and then we're giving you the opportunity to say you don't need them, to shave them off, and you won't take it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Greg, I think you're underestimating how much of your facial expressions come from your eyebrows. Because you lose your eyebrows and then you permanently look, like, shocked the whole time. Because your eyebrows make up such a part of, like, look, your eyebrows, you're, like, burying your eyebrows right now. Like, it's making a face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
You're just yap, yap, yapping, and you're not doing anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
You can't just say that like, oh, everyone looks better with eyebrows. I'm going to start the no eyebrow movement and then say, well, I'm going somewhere and I don't want to be embarrassed by how I'll look. So I'm not going to shave my eyebrows, completely proving my point that you think you need eyebrows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Disgruntled Off Between Jimmy Butler And Tyreek Hill
Well, then don't listen and shave your eyebrows.

GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think I'm kind of the minority in this where I think that rocks. We have seen so many times where great college quarterbacks have gone to the NFL and been terrible. Or so many times where you've been just electric in college football and hadn't even had the chance to go to the NFL. So like Quinn Ewers is a guy that's kind of had ups and downs this season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
We're not necessarily, I don't believe he'll be a fantastic NFL quarterback. So for him to get the chance to make as much money as he can right now, like I'm all for it. I want everyone to get paid and be happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, I liked this last round. I thought seeing what happened with Texas-Arizona State kind of made the expansion worth it. I still think we went a little too far overboard with 12 teams. I've been telling you guys that forever. But I also think kind of the biggest problem with the 12-team playoff, at least in the first round, was how everyone just wouldn't shut up about how much it sucked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
And I think that if we stopped talking so much about how it sucked, I think we would have enjoyed it more. I'm looking at you, all the ESPN announcers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Probably Ohio State would have gotten left out. Two losses. And it's funny because Ohio State right now is kind of the team to beat. They look better than everyone else. And they feel like kind of a clear favorite right now to win the national championship. Which is like why this 12-team playoff or expanded playoff is better. Because potentially, we don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Actually, I think last year is the perfect example. Georgia probably was the best team in the country. But they lost... two games and they were not able to go play in the college football playoff after losing the SEC championship. You're going to not run into that anymore where Ohio State might be the best team in the country, but they would have been out with the Oregon loss and Michigan loss.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
So I do think that the expanded playoff has issues. I think they're fixable issues. I think seating's weird. I think the conference championship thing is weird. But for the most part, we are seeing maybe not the four best teams. I don't know if I'd put Penn State in there. But sorry, Penn State. You've been playing well. I don't know why I'm shitting on you. That was unnecessary.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I bet you... Oh, no, Iowa got a quarterback. That's why I'm not excited for Notre Dame-Penn State. I've left that type of football in the past. Did you get new headphones? I'm not familiar with that anymore. No, I've had these for a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Oh, no, I've had these for a long time. Sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Definitely Texas, Ohio State. Notre Dame-Pitts State is like a perfect sickos game, and I still am a sicko at heart. So if you like defense, yay, Orange Bowl. If you want just like crazy shit to happen, Texas-Ohio State is a little more up that alley. I will say we kind of have to look out. They might postpone that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
There's supposed to be really bad weather in the Dallas area, like lots of snow. People won't be able to get to the stadium. So things are kind of up in the air with that right now. But I just think that that game has the potential for a lot more explosive, fun things to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think Notre Dame, Penn State is going to be very similar to Notre Dame, Georgia, where it took a long time for anything to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, I don't feel that. I think that, like... There are issues with the playoff format. And I know that you say, oh, okay, they had all this time to figure it out. These are people who I don't trust their judgment, period.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
So we just need the right people making the right decisions. I think we're going to see some changes definitely in seeding because, like, Oregon objectively kind of got screwed where you are the only undefeated team remaining and yet you have to play Ohio State in your first round. Like, that sucks. That doesn't really seem fair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Where, like, maybe if Oregon had pinned State's path, it probably would have been a little bit different. Yeah. So seeding, I think most likely we're going to see things change where it's not the four conference championships, but just the rankings as they are. Also, I kind of think conference championships are just like superfluous at this point. I don't think they really serve any purpose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think you could just get rid of that. It's interesting that all four teams on a bye lost. So things are odd. It's going to take some fixing. It's going to take some reworking. But like You still have Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State in the playoff. Those are four very good football teams, and they're evenly matched.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Maybe not as much than the Texas-Ohio State game with the way Ohio State's playing right now, but it will all course correct. It's just this was a first year, a trial year, and we need people who are better at making decisions making the decisions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, Texas might have made it just because the only two losses were to the same team. My question for you, Stu, is had that targeting call gone differently in Arizona State-Texas, Arizona State then wins that game, is your position on this any different?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Really? I do. Cam Scadivo is so fun. And that was just like, that game was kind of like, if that game had gone differently and trended sort of the way we thought after the first half, that Texas was just going to kind of run away with it, I think we would have some serious playoff discourse about, is this format right? Is this not? Even though we're having that conversation right now, but like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Arizona State giving us that kind of miracle performance really sort of saved the idea of automatic bids and stuff like that. Things are going to continue to change and warp with the playoff, but Arizona State, weird enough, are saviors or darlings. Who would have thought?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
They beat Alabama. What the heck?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Okay. I would go Ohio State 1, Notre Dame 2, Texas 3, Penn State 4. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Well, why don't you just re-rank yourself and then just count that? You can do whatever you want.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Arizona State made the playoff. There's no rules.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think so. Yeah, I kind of think that's where I'm rooting. I think that's the best matchup. Notre Dame has been kind of an interesting case because they didn't really play a particularly tough schedule this season. So to see the way that they've played against both Indiana and Georgia was super, super convincing. I do know that Carson Beck didn't play for Georgia, but like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
That ended up not being the problem. Gunner had a really good game, and it was just Notre Dame was dominant, you know, defensively. They did everything they wanted to do. Yeah, that feels like the best matchup right now, the two most talented teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Although I think funniest case scenario is Ohio State-Penn State in the national championship game, and then James Franklin losing the big game to Ohio State again. That's kind of hilarious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Wasn't that kind of funny, though? Yes. Yeah. Isn't that worth it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
No, we can't. We cannot. If she does listen, they can. She can't. We can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I want all my friends to be happy. Same, but not them. Actually, Jessica, more than everyone else. However, I kind of hate Notre Dame getting rewarded for not joining a conference. Screw you. You think you're better than me. No, you're not. You're a Big Ten team, and you know it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, and it's very frustrating because they have the perfect system built. It just works out perfectly for them, and it's going to work out perfectly for them every other year, whereas us lowly schools and conferences are going to continue to have to fight and struggle, and I'm not okay with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I would say Ohio State. My hot take is Ohio State fans aren't that bad. There's just one small group of them that are just so loud and so awful and so bad that the rest of them kind of get lumped in. Ohio State fans were beyond pleasant. Well, it was before the game for Michigan-Ohio State, and I've had a great experience. Texas fans, also super nice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
So I'm going to say just the small segment of Ohio State fans, but not the entire fan base.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, it doesn't matter. Who cares? It doesn't matter. You could win the national championship and play Michigan in an exhibition game after, and if he loses, they're going to boo him out of Columbus. No shot would he choose Michigan. He would pick Penn State every single day. He's going to try to start convincing all of us that Ohio State-Penn State is a bigger rivalry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
No, yeah, he's a phenomenal coach. Look at the way that Ohio State has played this postseason. They're beating the shit out of everyone they play, including a very good Tennessee team, an even better Oregon team. He has put together such a dominant performance, which... Watching that Rose Bowl game, I was like, wow, this is just an ass-kicking. This is great. Okay, we're done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I'm just going to scroll on Twitter, whatever. And then always the thought creeps in, like, how did they lose to Michigan? How did that happen? That game gets dumber every single day. So, like, I do think he's a very good coach, but, like, you've got to figure it out against those guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah. What is going on? Yeah, that's – I don't love that. I don't know. I don't love that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Oh, that's a good question. I don't necessarily know if I really trust a lot of these guys, especially with maybe Riley Leonard. He hasn't been phenomenal. He wasn't great against Georgia, but he can run. Will Howard just wakes up and decides if he wants to be a good quarterback or not. You just can't really tell. That's why I still have a little trepidation with Ohio State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Maybe Quinn Ewers, definitely not Drew Aller. I don't think it's a particularly strong quarterback class for this Final Four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think that the biggest issue should be moving the national championship to a Saturday. Let's quit doing this Monday. That's stupid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
All they want to do is take our day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I don't care what they want. Lucy, they wanted Christmas. They took Christmas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Okay, well, we'll never score 52 a game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think if there's one person to blame, and I hate to blame her because I think she's also perfect and never made a mistake, Kaitlyn Clark gave me a little taste of what it's like, you know, to see just someone so electric playing for your favorite team, to go to the national championship twice. I've been just feasting for, like, I need – Another one of those moments. It's like a drug.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I'm like, we have to go back to the national championship. I don't care what sport it is because she was so electric. So now that we have a quarterback who I don't think is Caitlin Clark, but I still think he's very, very good. I'm like, I can see it. 12 team playoff. I love it. Let's expand it. Actually expand it just to the number where Iowa gets in and we lose in the first round.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
No, no, it's Chuck long. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think I could. Yeah, I could do it. Okay. Can I go just one to five? Because that's easier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yes, you're right. Okay, so Chuck Long is one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
No, no, no, not yet. Okay, so Chuck Long is one. Closest Heisman vote ever. Brad Banks is two. I forgot about Brad Banks. Oh, Brad Banks is electric. he was our only quarterback that was like ever really like a great dual threat guy. And Kirk Ferens came out and was like, I really didn't want him to play here, but it worked out. We were like, okay. All right. Three. We'll go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
We'll include the new guy. We'll do Mark. Mark. Welcome. You're my top five. High expectations. Wow. Four. Maybe not the, not he's my personal favorite. Ricky Stanzi. I love him. That was my first childhood crush. Huge fan of Ricky Stanzi. And then five. We'll go. We'll go CJ Beathard. Why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, well, I have high hopes for him, you know? I didn't feel this way when Cade McNamara committed. I did it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think Ohio State beats Texas probably by 10 points. I think Notre Dame beats Penn State by 3 points. And that score is 3-0.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I think Ohio State wins. If they continue to play the way they're doing, it's tough for anybody to beat them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
If they win, Ryan Day does not get fired, but they're like, hey, buddy, hey, we see this, we're not forgetting about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I'm going to say no on that. I'm going to say the crazy little segment that Kirk Herbstreit always references, they feel that way. But just like to be a Michigan fan, which I am not, but to be a Michigan fan, see Ohio State win the national championship. They're one of their best teams ever. One of the best teams in college football history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
And to have beaten that team has probably got to feel pretty great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Michigan is going to be the first team to ever be national champions and then repeat as transitive national champions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, well, you know, it's hard for you to relate. I have a quarterback now. I've completely changed his person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, he's better. He's better than Aaron Rodgers. Do you know how hard it is to win a national championship at South Dakota State? Not that hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, no, it's really not that hard. They didn't win this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
He was too focused on the future. He was just dreaming of 21-14 final scores, being like, I'm going to change this program.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Yeah, and even if he's not good, he probably got paid a lot of money to go to Iowa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
All I know is that I think Cade McNamara allegedly got $100K. Cade McNamara?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Money down the drain. Oh, God, too many. He was very bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Look, I think he's from Naperville. Naperville basically is a feeder system. Everyone from Naperville goes to the University of Iowa, so he'll be home. He's already ready.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I'll see you in the playoff next year, actually.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
It was kind of boring as well. It gave me horrible flashbacks to when I went as a fan and Iowa lost by 30 points. But it's always nice to be back in L.A., so I spent the week in L.A. And yeah, the Rose Bowl, it's always like, even if the game sucks, it's such a beautiful, surreal experience. Every time I go, I'm just so grateful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I have something good that no one thought would happen. I didn't think would happen. The world didn't think would happen. I think the universe is pushing back on us because this happened. Are you guys ready?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
I've lived a long life without an Iowa quarterback. 25, I'm 26. 26 years. We've had some bright moments here and there. Shout out Ricky Stanzi. But we've got a quarterback. This was the top guy in the portal remaining. But still, very exciting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- CFP Semis Preview with Lucy
Okay, so there was the John Batiste from Wazoo. People really wanted him. They wanted Jackson Arnold from Oklahoma, and they wanted our guy Mark. But we got him.

Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Thank you for clarifying. 15 weeks in, it feels like it. I'd never even be a punt returner. But how is it that we're still not on the same page so often? Like, it still seems to happen a lot where the Dolphins just aren't on the same page and something seems like an open interception. And they're like, well, it wasn't to his fault. It was someone wasn't where they're supposed to be.

I just texted my best friend Hannah and asked her who she thinks is going to win tonight. And she has never watched a hockey game this entire season. She's picking the Rangers. And she's an astrophysicist. She's real smart.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I'll text Joey. Dan, you know what I found out about Hannah today? An anagram.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Okay, I don't know. Anna too, depending on how you spell it. Even though there's two N's, it's also an anagram. Same with one N, Anna. Anagrams are fun. Race car. A Hanagram.

Thank you for mentioning Alan Lazard because I felt like you were going to do this again and play this game again where we don't mention the Listener League presented by Smirnoff. You can join every week. Join GBS Weekly Contest. DKNG.co slash Smirnoff. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. I had Alan Lazard yesterday, and I will admit.

Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
That was my garbage player that I got for like $3 so that I could get all the good players for the rest of the monies that we had there. Dan, who was your roster? We'll go over that after. I didn't do it this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I did do it the week before, but I never checked my record the week before. Oh, you got to. Do it for next week now so you don't forget. It's fun. Fun time had a while. Last week I was finished in 59th place. I had 185 points. This week would have gotten me in the money. But it didn't because I had the likes of Alan Lazard getting me zero points.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I had Mac Hollins getting me 1.7 because he can't just run into a straight line into the end zone when he has, you know, a head of steam ahead of him. And then I had Derrick Henry get me 6.7 points. Disgraceful. But guess what? I'm coming back next week stronger than ever. And next week, I will finish.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I'm not going to give you a place because then I don't do it and you guys are like, you're an idiot. You say every week you're going to win. So you'll finish. I will finish. All right. And that's an accomplishment. Good. Santa Claus is coming. DKNG.co. Yes, Jess. Super Bowl licks.

So I'm going to present this drama to you all, and then you will pick, based off of the information that I've shared with you, what side you were on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
So the two parties are Breonna Chicken Fry and Grace O'Malley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
So Brianna Chicken Fry dated Zach Bryan, who's a country singer. Do not get that confused with Luke Bryan, who's also a country singer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And don't get it confused with Zach Brown, who's also a country singer, who sang a song called Chicken Fried. They're separate. So Zach Bryan and Brianna Chicken Fry were dating. They just recently broke up, and it was nasty. Okay, Brianna came out and was like, he's the worst, he was horrible to me, and it sounds like he was pretty terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Yes, and Josh Richards is on that podcast as well. Grace O'Malley is Brianna Chicken Bride's best friend of 15 years. And it's clear that they had some problems between Zach and Brian because Grace didn't like Zach because Zach was not a very good guy. And it's very clear that Grace called that correctly. So last week, Brianna and Grace had a podcast together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And Brianna posed something being like, hey, guys, Plan Brie is coming back, but it's going to come back in a different way. It's called Plan Brie? That's their podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And then Grace O'Malley came out and said, because they were on the podcast together, I didn't know that our podcast was coming back without me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
You didn't tell me. She learned on the internet. So she went on her Instagram story and said, I was blindsided. Best friends for 15 years and you don't tell me that. Also, Brianna Chicken Fry had to sleep overnight before with all the people who worked on Plan Brie and had all of them unfollow Grace on Instagram. I know. It's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And then, oh my goodness, Brianna goes on her podcast with Dave Portnoy and does a tell all where she just shits on her friend for like 45 minutes being like, I gave her everything. I got her this job. I, you know, had her, you know, move in with me. I've done all of these things for her and she never supports me online. And it's always everybody loves Grace and they all hate me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And Grace has been silent about the whole matter. Except for she said one thing, because she does stand-up now, where she was like, I feel like we're going through a divorce. A divorce of 15 years, and we're letting the kids decide who they want to live with. Because all the fans are now picking sides between the two of them, and Grace hasn't spoken publicly. But it is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
hot goss everybody is talking about it online we don't know are you team chicken fry or o'malley chicken fry also not her real last name just in case you don't say what's the origin of chicken it doesn't say it on her her birth certificate but i think grace's name is really great the question that they're really asking here is what do you do when your best friend doesn't like who you're dating
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Well, can I can I add to the story? Can I please can I put an extra piece of evidence here? The breakup that was in question was also made public on Instagram and Chicken Fry said that she was not expecting it and was blindsided by said breakup and then went and did the same thing to Grace.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
the very same thing and now Brianna's been on her podcast she's been crying and she's like Grace doesn't stand up for me online I know she hated Zach but like I never brought Zach around but it seems like she did bring Zach around and she even said that Zach and Grace got in a fight at her birthday party
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Team Brianna Chicken Fry or Team Grace O'Malley?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
But they're broken up. He went on Raya the day after they broke up. And that's how everybody found out. And Raya is a celebrity dating app.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And Morgan Wallen's the one that threw the chair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And Morgan Wallen threw the chair, and Zach Bryan got really mad at Rihanna Chicken Fry for singing Morgan Wallen's song in front of her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
No, Chicken Fry was the wrong answer. He should have chosen O'Malley. I think he got the people confused.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
No, he wants fried chicken, Lucy. You misunderstood.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
But that's not her real last name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
That's not legal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Yeah, so she was like a TikTok influencer. So she got really, really big on TikTok. She was pretty funny, did like relatable content. Then she got hired by Barstool and she's been like kind of their shining star for the last few years. She's brought a huge audience. And so when she got to Barstool, she wanted to do her podcast with her best friend, Grace. So Grace came with her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
But now she's like, I gave Grace everything. And she's like, not even grateful. But then she went on another podcast this week with Alex Earl and said, Zach Bryan did a few nice things for me. And then he would always throw them back in my face. Like, you don't want to be around someone like that. But she did that to Grace.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Braxton Barrett's girlfriend, Alex Earl? Yeah. What? We're all connected.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
So the problem is, is that there's someone in this room to blame. My Instagram reels aren't very good because somebody keeps sending me Christian influencer videos and it's ruined my algorithm.

You say that we're supposed to not be okay with China just taking all of our information, but if they want it, they're going to get it anyways, right? So I might as well consent and still keep TikTok. Why are we okay with America taking it? Well, that's what I'm saying. If they're going to have it, at least let me have TikTok out of this. I trust in either government.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I don't know. I really have no idea. I thought I had the weekend off. I thought I had the weekend off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
That was, it's one of those games where it's like very Michigan, Ohio State in the sense like really doesn't matter how you've been playing up until that point. It's just a rivalry that means so much more, but like. Holy s***, Blake Horvath. You didn't have to do all that. You didn't have to do that to him. That might have been disrespectful. But yeah, it was a good game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I think I heard the broadcasters be like, this is the first time in five years they've scored over 20 points. We were like, oh my god, that's crazy. We're going too far, Army-Navy. We need to slow down. This is changing times and you need something to stay steady.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Oh, I'm certain how I feel, and I don't like it. I don't like it even a little bit. Right. I just think that when you're doing the first ever first round of the playoff at home sites, like maybe don't go up against the giant that's the NFL. Well—
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
The NFL is infringing here, if we're going to be honest with you. Because it's Saturday, and that's our day. That is not your day. You have a day. You have a million days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
So I don't love that just because I think it's going to take away from what this entire season has come to, what the entire last 150 years of college football has come to, first round of the 12-team playoff, and I have to compete with the NFL? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Doesn't love them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
And you should have said, hey, thank you, college football, for giving us your talent, for letting us take them eventually. We understand that you have paved the way. We'll take a step back and we'll just do what we already do. And we'll just keep our normal day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
You already took Christmas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I love Texas high school football. That's my actual top priority. Wait, their season's over now, so I don't feel bad about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
That is so disrespectful, because guess what? If this had been a year ago, we would spend our Saturdays watching the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl, and it would have been awesome. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
So they won the Sun Belt, went 10-3, and then immediately their coach was like, I'm out. I'm going to Southern Mississippi. And then the whole team also was like, hey, we're leaving. We have no one left.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
They had to opt out of this bowl game, which, like, I know that Army kind of got their shit rocked by Navy this week, but Army's a good football team that deserves the chance to play another good football team in a bowl game. Like, I think Army would have wanted to play – a 10 and three team rather than a five and seven team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
And so it's just this very weird sort of like, okay, clearly we have some issues we have to address within the sport if, an entire team is transferring. You also have something kind of similar with Penn State's backup quarterback has entered the portal, so he's not going to be a part of the playoff at all. He won't be traveling with Penn State. He's entering the portal right now. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
And Lane Kiffin talked about it earlier this week about how the system is set up so poorly where, like, I have to prep for my bowl game right now, but I also have to, like, be very active in the transfer portal, so I think they're going to end up changing those windows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Exactly. Like... But also at the same time, you're like, well, this kid's going to want to – Drew Aller is clearly the future of Penn State football. He probably wants a starting job somewhere. We'd love to have you at Iowa. Come on down. But you don't want to miss out on that opportunity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
But also in the day and age where the transfer portal moves so quickly and quarterbacks and are pretty much already knowing where they're going to go, you need to have the ability to be in that space earlier. They just are going to have to change the windows because I think it's too difficult –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
No, it's the whole thing. The system just seems to be – there's so much about college football that's just incredibly broken, and this is just one of the small parts of it. But, like, I don't know if you're ever going to see anything like what we saw with Marshall. I guess you probably will now that the system is changing where a whole team opted out, a whole team transferred.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
They left, and they didn't leave after a bad season. They left after a great season. It's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Oh, God, that's so stupid. That's the dumbest. It's like also Ohio. They're just going through some weird things right now. The loss to Michigan is like push them over the edge. Like it is a very like unwell fan base. It's an unwell state right now. Everything is just off. Yeah. Making it a felony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
That's just like the biggest like you already lost and now and you already had that whole issue with. the flag painting and the pepper spray and what happened to Rose and all these things. And you're just making it look dumber. That's on the top of everyone's list is what happened to Rose. You're just like making the situation so much worse. And like, it's so funny too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
One of my favorite parts about the college football playoff selection show, which I don't have many of them because why are we talking about this for four hours? Let's just, let's get to the point. Was Kirk Herbstreit coming out and being like, Ohio State is hosting a home playoff game. And I know for a fact their fans are going to boo their own team because they're so mad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Their fans are going to be booing their own team and their own coaches.

GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
It was, like, after Senior Day or something, and he was, like, trying to go over to celebrate with her, and she was just having absolutely none of it. And then, so this weekend at the Heisman Ceremony, after he won, so he gets up. He's obviously very emotional and very well-deserving of the Heisman. I understand why he won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I would have voted for Ashton Gentry, but I don't have a vote because no one believes in me, and love is dead.

but Travis Hunter so he gets up to celebrate and Dion and his mom and Shador they're all standing up Dion's like crying almost like he's so so happy yes and his fiance is just sitting there and Dion has to nudge her to stand up because she didn't stand up so he goes gives her a hug immediately sits back down everyone else is still celebrating and we're

like oh okay whatever i didn't think much of it and then the next day travis signed with adidas and so he was at like an adidas event which you know congratulations set for life well deserved and he's doing like fan pictures a fan event that he was scheduled to be at and she's sitting there and as someone's taking the picture you can hear her be like what am i supposed to do just sit here the whole time and i said oh that's not a good look he just won the heisman be nice to him right

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Lil Wayne was there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I agree. Ashton Gentry has had the best season a running back has had since Barry Sanders. And I also think it's important to note that he was like 100-something yards off of breaking his single-season record. Ashton Gentry sat out eight quarters this year because Boise State was beating their opponents so bad. So you could—
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
very reasonably say that if he had played full games, he would have broken that record. And I understand it's different times. It doesn't take anything away from what Barry Sanders did. But he's had the best season of running back in college football has had in an insanely long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
And if you look at his numbers compared to Derek Henry when he won the Heisman, Ashton Gentry has had a better season. He just had the misfortune of having this season the same year. There's a generational two-way player, which we also have not seen in a very long time. I'm not upset by any means that the Heisman went to Travis Hunter, but I would have voted for Ashton Gentry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I'm going to say goosey on that unless something crazy happens and Tennessee just like whomps Ohio State and they're like, fine, we're going to do it. Ryan Day, we're pulling the plug. I don't see any job opening up with the exception of LSU or Ohio State in the definitely not right now, but in the near future that I think Kurt Cignetti would leave for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
And the only reason I say LSU is because I just think he's got go Tiger vibes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
No, I don't think so. I think it really depends on like, if you lose on a last, you know, a game winning field goal or something, that's not worth firing a coach that has one of the highest winning percentages in college football. I do understand that like coming off the Michigan loss, fans are kind of ready for a change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
If you get, like, your s*** wrecked against Tennessee, if Tennessee goes off, which, by the way, Tennessee does not have that phenomenal of an offense. If Tennessee really, you know, makes a statement against Ohio State, then, yeah, I could see them firing Ryan Day. I just don't think it's going to happen because it's genuinely so unreasonable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I don't think they're going to fire Ryan Day. Because if you advance to the second round of the playoff, that's still incredibly impressive. You're one of the eight best teams in college football. I just think the only thing that I'm going to push back on myself for is that we have to remember this isn't a rational bunch. This isn't a bunch that's thinking clearly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
They're trying to implement laws to ban flag planning. They're not thinking straight right now.

I believe so. I don't know if – I may have gotten, like, internetted on this. But I believe his buyout drops from, like, $10 million to a million dollars. Yes. In June 2025, before coaching a single game.

GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I think it's Goosey. I am not the best. world's biggest fan of this hire. I think they're very much trying to do what Colorado has done, but with someone who does not have the personality to appeal to college kids. I just think that this is more of a move to make the press conference higher, to make the flashy higher, which is not a bad move because I'm assuming UNC's NIL donations are up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I'm assuming donations to the football program are up. I think this is a move to make money make headlines, potentially get some viewership numbers, especially because like UNC is mostly, I would say the hottest commodity in the ACC right now when it comes to like the potential future of conference realignment. Everyone wants UNC.

That's a great place to play. State College in late December is no joke. And SMU, they're not familiar with that in Dallas. You have one freakiest, really cold day a year and the whole state shuts down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I just think that Penn State, I was so impressed with them at the Big Ten Championship game. I was shocked by how well they moved the ball, how easy they were able to score. Drowler looked really, really good. I think Penn State's clicking right now, and I also think it helps Penn State looking at the playoff and knowing they probably have the best draw out of anybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
SMU, and then they'll go play Boise State after. I have to be feeling pretty confident if I'm Penn State right now, but then I remember, oh no, James Franklin's my head coach, and that goes down a little bit. But I don't think SMU will win, but I'm sure anybody can win. It's the 12 best teams in college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
They don't like, yeah, they don't like noon games. I wish it was a night game. That is a atmosphere, a stadium, a fan base that deserves night games. It is really, really just one of the best venues in college football and their fans are electric. I think, though, that the fact that it's not Ohio State is going to make them more excited.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
I think there's always like a sort of like a weird vibe in the air when Ohio State is there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
Yeah, well, they got it. That's the matchup that everyone was like, oh, okay. But it's still at the same time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Monday Hangover: Sharing Saturdays and Loving Love
We're saying, oh, okay. These are the 12 best teams in college football. There's still something to be excited about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Lucy, fingers crossed.

She wants to go to Texas. You don't know. I really want to go to Texas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Texas doesn't really want me there that much, but I think that my personality and my good vibes will change the mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Outside of our little playoff spectacle, I am very intrigued by the energy happening at the Birmingham Bowl, which is Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt. Yes, same! Oh, buddy! It's going to be like a two and a half point favorite, I want to say. It's a very just like funky vibe. Yeah. Like something's going to go off. Something weird is going to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
They are probably going to be like, let's just evacuate the city right now. No fans in the crowd. Let's just let whatever happens happen. So weird energy. I'm looking forward to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
I am a firm believer, unless you're Oregon, if you're hosting a home playoff game or you're doing a home playoff game, let's not get fancy here. All right. Let's just let's not even bring in the question of like fun new uniforms unless you're Oregon because that's your whole bit. But like, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Bowl games, bowls are supposed to be weird. Just let it happen.

Let the Pop-Tarts Bowl exist. Enjoy the mayo dump. Enjoy the french fry dump. I'm sure there's going to be more dumps that happen. What if the TurboTax Bowl is tax farms? Even though I don't even know if the TurboTax Bowl exists anymore. There's definitely a tax bowl that exists.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Only game Friday night, so I will be watching that matchup as well. I look at this game specifically if Indiana can control the pace of play, which they've been able to do in every game so far with the exception of Ohio State, then I think it's Indiana's game to lose just because they are so efficient.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
efficient in what they are doing and they can move the ball so quickly that if Indiana can control the clock if Indiana can do what they want to do I think they're going to win this game but I just I don't necessarily see that happening I think Notre Dame is so talented that I think there's just going to be mismatches there so I think Notre Dame wins but I love just having like how lucky are we to have a like sneaky in-state game in the first round of playoff like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
It's awesome. Who would have thought we were here? Not me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Like... I know we should move on to other games, but emotionally, just how are you feeling right now? I'm excited. This is the first 12-team playoff that your team has been in. Obviously, they've been in a playoff before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Transition time. Look at how flawless I'm about to do this. SMU, also a team that kind of has the, hey, we need to prove that we should be here sort of mindset. They're at Penn State. Penn State is, as of filming, an eight and a half point favorite. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Penn State, everyone's sort of the conversation has been they got the best draw in the playoff with hosting SMU, noon game, so they're obviously not going to be happy about that, and then potentially if they win, moving on to face Boise State. I... I do think Penn State's going to win. I think that they're a lot more talented than the other teams that SMU has faced.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
I think they're better than Clemson. I think they're better than BYU. I think they're better than most of the ACC. And I also think that weather plays such a factor. And this is Happy Valley in December 2021.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
pass yeah no thank you three of these four playoff games are gonna be frigid yeah and i don't and look that is a such a great crowd that is not an atmosphere that smu is like really gonna be prepped for i just i think that penn state has just their defense is too good i think their defense is so so good this season and that they're going to be too much for smu to handle uh i don't know if i think penn state covers or not especially because this is sort of like a
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
It's kind of a prove yourself game on both sides where James Franklin, can you win the big game? SMU, did you really deserve to be in the playoff? I think Penn State wins this one, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Yeah, I was really, really impressed with what I saw from Penn State at the Big Ten Championship game. I didn't know their offense had that in them. I didn't know they sort of had that fight in them. Because even though every time Penn State got close, Oregon was able to pull away again, it was just they were moving the ball. Drew Allard looked really, really good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
But it even didn't look as great. Oregon can do that to everybody. So I just think that Penn State is kind of trending in the right direction right now. But I just say all this stuff. I'm like, James Franklin, you're going to make me look stupid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Yeah, just a tough situation. He even came out and said, like, I didn't want to do this. But, you know, I know that Drew Aldrich coming back next year, I'd like a starting job. And the longer you wait to go in the portal, the worse options get. Correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
You would have to be the hot guy starting quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
I don't feel unbelievably confident in any of these games. And all of it isn't for real analytical reasons. Texas' vibes would be loose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Yeah, Clemson has scored 17 points in the two games they faced SEC defenses this year in their game against Georgia to start the season and then South Carolina to end the season. And Texas' defense is, I think... up there with those two schools. Texas has such a phenomenal defense. I don't think Clemson's going to be able to move the ball. I'm like, okay, yes, Quinn Ewers is hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Let's hope your backup is talented and qualified. Oh, wait, it's Arch Manning, who your fans have wanted to... How many snaps do we think he's going to get? I don't know. I know one Texas fan, but the one Texas fan I know has furiously texted the group chat, I never want to see Quinn Ewers play again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
I won't even think about Arizona State right now. That's next month's problem. That energy, I can't have that in my life right now. It's a little too much chaos for me right at the moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
I think it really comes down to me, like, Will Howard, what are you going to do? Do something. What's the plan here? Because if Will Howard plays all right, I think Ohio State will win this game. I also think the circumstances of this game are really weird, where I don't necessarily know if there's a team that's hosting a game that fans hate them more right now than Ohio State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
It's a hostile home environment. It's just hostile in general for everyone. It's a really interesting situation. I think people really underestimate when we talk about a lot how good Tennessee's defense is. And Ohio State's offensive line has had issues the whole season. And I think Michigan put together sort of the perfect plan to beat Ohio State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
And now you can sit here and look at that if you're Tennessee and be like, we can just do that. You have Dylan Sampson, one of the best running backs in college football. Yeah, he's great. I think that like... Tennessee is a matchup nightmare for Ohio State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
And I think the circumstances of losing to Michigan the way you did, how you did, when Tennessee is like a much better version of that Michigan team, way more fun, and adds more of a quarterback threat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
But it's not Michigan. So maybe... Hold up. I have an idea. I have a plan. I take back what I said about alternate jerseys. Tennessee, you're going maize and blue. Oh, that's a great idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
Not that great. I don't know. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
I think I'm paying Tennessee. Screw it. We're going Tennessee. Also, Tennessee did not play in the SEC Championship game, which I think works in their favor. Obviously, Ohio State didn't play in the Big Ten Championship game, but they were doing other things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
If I'm Ohio State, I wait. I do it the good old-fashioned way. And I wait till kickoff at the Rose Bowl so everyone's thinking of other things. Everyone, look over there. You're fired. It's a tweet that's like third in the thread. No. And it's like, oh, what a great season. We're looking back. Third tweet, by the way, Ryan Day has done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB: College Football Playoff Preview
No, I think we're going to get some really competitive football games. We have four options. Right, at least one's going to be good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Sort of last time, not really last time, but kind of the last time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I think you feel like you've always felt. I think that Penn State is very just... I'll have to look at Penn State's schedule and see if they play Ohio State. Their non-conference is very easy next year. Yeah, I assume so. But if they're playing Ohio State during the regular season, then I don't feel great. Yeah, I think there was a lot of like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I have a few questions just about, like, when Drew Allard came out for that final drive, I looked at Harry and I said, he is dying to throw in a double coverage. He's going to do it, like, without a doubt. And if I knew what he was going to do, then James Franklin should have known what he was going to do. Not getting the right receivers involved at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Zero catches, zero yards, just a big fat zero for Penn State's receivers. I just... You feel good because you got to the semifinals. You are considered one of the four best teams in college football this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
But we still see that there is such a gap between four and one where if you're looking at Ohio State, Penn State, like those teams play every year and we know there's a big gap in between those two. So like I feel good. I just don't feel like like super duper rock and roll. I feel like yacht rock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I like I said before, I really do think that the two best teams are playing in this game. The line right now, what Ohio State as of recording Ohio State minus eight and a half. I think that's kind of high. I'm not like counting out Notre Dame as much as everyone else is. I do think it would require
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Notre Dame putting together like an unbelievable football game, like close to perfect, where I kind of think that is possible because I don't think they played particularly well against Penn State. I thought the second half, those adjustments were phenomenal. But the first half, they were kind of ass.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
So to see Notre Dame sort of put together such a good half after that original just kind of stinker, I do think that Notre Dame's defense is good enough that if they can force Ohio State into these third down situations and Ohio State sucks, on third down. They're really, really bad. That's their only glaring weakness on this team that I think that if it's a close game, Notre Dame could win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
But that's an if it's a close game. I think it goes close game, Notre Dame wins, or Ohio State blows them out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Jesus, I've seen what you've done for others, and I want that for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Oh, my God. Well, honestly, I wish we could just take the full 30 minutes to just talk about Brett Bielema and what's up with him. His bowl drama. How awesome was that? Everyone's saying bowl season doesn't mean anything. Well, Brett Bielema is starting fights in the middle of games. I love it. It means everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
It's an all-time hater matchup. Ohio State, Notre Dame. Everyone's got someone to hate. Oh, Michigan fans are like, I guess we're rooting for Notre Dame, but this doesn't feel good. I've heard that they're rooting for Ohio State. I've gone directly to the source to ask a few Michigan fans, hey, who are you rooting for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
And they say, I got to root for Ohio State so that Ohio State can say they put together one of the best college football teams of all time and we still beat them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I think it's also conference, even though both teams are spiritually or literally in the Big Ten. Geographically, should be in the Big Ten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
There's only one Big Ten team that lost to the SEC in the postseason, and they didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. It was Iowa. I don't know. You'd have to look it up. I'm not going to do that, though. But I'm sure that they didn't mean to do it, and it was just – it was Nashville. I don't know. Something in the air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Yeah, TikTok will be gone. I'll be able to really focus on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Oh, and he's still been pouty. He was pouty online for the next like four days. Well, Burt is just basking in the glow of the Orlando sun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I can't remember who published it, but bowl ratings like TV and viewership for bowl games was higher this year than maybe it's ever been. I don't know. Higher than it has been in recent memory. People are watching bowl games because people like bowl games. And now that you see bowls like Pop-Tart and the Mayo Bowl, like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
really kind of dive into the absurdity of college football and the absurdity of bowl season. Like, you're creating this super fun atmosphere, and who cares? Let these kids have an extra game at the end of the year. Go to Orlando. Let them go to Universal Studios. There's nothing wrong with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
It's such a stupid argument. Like, it just makes me, okay, argue with the cloud. I literally don't give one shit. We saw a Pop-Tart get eaten. A cake arose out of a toaster and life has forever been different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Look, the 800 points they scored in that game was alarming to me. I was already like, my senses were very disoriented at the time. There was so much going on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
That game was very much just like sweep the leg, just finish it. What are you doing? Like, it was very much like, okay, great. Texas is up by 20. Like life is easy. And then K club, Nick was like, Hey, guess what? I've decided to be the best quarterback you've ever seen. And you're like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
texas just stop up just stop up one time and they would not do it it was a very much like it was very exciting like it had the aura of a playoff game something i think is really interesting was we ended up like getting tickets for this game and they were very cheap uh compared to like when we would go to georgia alabama during the regular season they were very cheap it was very accessible to go to the game which i thought was phenomenal um but yeah it was like the vibes were high
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Texas should have kind of finished Clemson a lot earlier on in that game. They just kept letting them hang around. But it was a good time. I had a lot of fun at Texas, and I really liked their fight song. I think it's quite good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Yeah, they've been using the portal like crazy. And you look at the ACC, things feel kind of wide open. I don't know, Carson Beck being in the equation. That either makes you feel better or worse. I'm not quite sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Who knows? We'll find out. Congrats on dating a Cavender. Good for you, brother. It works out in the end. But yeah, Clemson's got me feeling pretty good right now. In that game, they played a lot better than I thought they would. Run defense is terrible, though. Jesus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I mean, yeah, it was one of those things where I really love that you brought that up because I was curious. I was like, I wonder if people at the game thought it sucks so much because I think a big reason of why everyone hated the expanded playoff that first round is because everybody wouldn't shut up about how much they hated the expanded playoff in the first round.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
It's hard for me to buy into a game when the announcers are talking about how much it sucks. And how much they wish that it was an Alabama team there that ended up losing to Michigan in the Reliant Quest Bowl. Like, be so serious right now. I think the biggest, there are a lot of problems with the playoff. We can fix the seating, conference championships, the bias. They're all a little weird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
That will work itself out. But the biggest immediate problem with the playoff is everybody needs to shut up about how much they hate it. Because it's really not that bad. And we've had two solid rounds and my dog is barking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
no one's blowing smoke because of the nfl like first round of the playoff wild card weekend you had a lot of blowouts there and everyone's fine because that's what's expected no one loses their mind in march madness when yeah when all the 16c blues yeah yeah it just is like it the seating was done that way for a reason i do think that if i have an issue like oregon being the only undefeated team this season having such a great year and then getting the draw of playing ohio state
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
in their first playoff game. I would not be a happy camper if that were me. So I do think there's problems with the seating. But overall, it's really fine. It's really okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
No, Lucy. I spent my own money to travel to that game and watch it. Oh no. I was so embarrassed. You should try to expense that. I was so embarrassed. I was like sitting in the press box just being like, okay, I guess I have to play Sudoku now. Like I have no idea what to do. Like it was so bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
That game was over so quickly that I was getting my own Rose Bowl flashbacks that I was like, I gotta leave. I gotta get out of here. Oh no. Yeah, but the rest of the games were great. I mean, Texas-Arizona State. That was awesome. Oh, my God. That ruled so hard. And, like, I think you can... The Texas-Ohio State game was really good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
It obviously kind of came down to that one horrible play call when Texas is trying to score late in the game. But that...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
if that targeting call had been made in arizona state texas which i believe it was targeting do i know what targeting is necessarily not particularly it reminded me at the end of the cal miami game i was like i thought i knew what it was but i guess there's there's a huge difference between the crown and like next to the crown i don't know it doesn't make there has to we have to do something with the helmet so we have to put an axe on the helmet and when it hits that that's when you know put ink on them so like if you hit someone there's a little stamp
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Yeah, like get a little insurance person there who can like when they go to a car accident, they can tell who's at fault. So you get the two helmets in you and you look at them. Yeah, if that call had gone differently, we probably would have had Arizona State, Ohio State, which I do think would have been probably a worse game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
But like that was the cool part of the playoff is Arizona State would not have made the playoff in any other year since. Notre Dame might not have made the playoff in any other year with that loss. Ohio State might not have made the playoff with two losses. Like it's exciting to see that like expanding it. I do believe that the two best teams are playing in the national championship game. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
Except for a hypothetical SEC team would be right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Gen CFB - National Championship Game Preview
I believe there's some stat that like the average margin of victory in the Super Bowl or in the NFL playoffs is like... 30 to 13. That's I'm making it up. I'm making it up, but it's in the vicinity of that, but we don't lose our minds over it. But when it comes to college football, you're like, if every team isn't, if every game isn't a one score game, then this is a bad game.

Hi, I'm Lucy of Lucy's Ladle in Earlswood. You may know me from my home delivery of soups, stews, salads and snacks across RH1, 2 and 6. I'm in my kitchen finalising plans for my special Midsummer Supper menu. There's a creamy cannellini bean, pea and basil hummus topped with caramelised spring onion and served with homemade seeded crackers.
