It only took 3 years, but after last night's defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, Stugotz was finally right about the Kansas City Chiefs. Then, if Jimmy Johnson is going to have a whole feature dedicated to him and he's going to cry, he has to retire, right? Plus, Stugotz tells us about his experience at Radio Row and explains why he bailed on Billy and the rest of the Meadowlark crew Friday, and we learn how to properly wrap a coil. Also, Dan insists New Orleans is one of the great American cities and wants to determine the other Top 5 Great American Cities. In terms of qualifications, is it about their musical sound? Is it about their food? Is it about their ghosts? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
This episode of the Dan Labattard Show with Stu Gatz is presented by Venmo.
Stu Gatz is here, and because he has had a week in Super Bowl heaven, and these are his first words at the microphone for the week, we must treasure them. This is...
the mighty God of God bless football coming down from the mountain, flying in, emergency flying in in the morning so he can give you his freshest and hottest takes as God bless football puts the punctuation on an award-winning number one football podcast in America season.
The draft is right around the corner, Dano.
Chapter 2: Has Stugatz finally been proven right about the Chiefs?
He's got his weekend observations ready, but he's never flown in on a Monday, and first things he speaks into a mic are weekend observations. So we're going to give him a minute to gather himself because I'm sure he's got something for the Chiefs. I guess I probably have to lift the moratorium on Stugatz getting to talk about the Chiefs, right? Because I was right, yes.
Three years later, at the very end, Stugatz gets to be right after being spectacularly wrong. I don't think this qualifies as right, Stugatz.
What do you mean? Alex Smith wins that game. Thank you.
Put it on the poll at Levittown Show. Does Alex Smith win that game? We'll get to the weekend observations in a second. I want all of Billy's observations on a personal week spent with Stu Gantz because I'm sure we've only gotten to part of the stories. I'm being told that Billy's flying back with Venus Williams, with Braxton Berrios, with Raheem Mostert. He's celebrity hobnobbing.
They're different flights, Dan. Mostert was on the way there, I believe.
I'm a celebrity. I tried to orchestrate. What I thought would have been one of our better social media posts, but then I cowered and backed down at the last minute. So our flight was at 7 o'clock on Friday evening. Could have been sooner, but that's a story for another day. So our flight was at 7 o'clock on Friday, flying back.
And you go and you sit down and it's just like a who's who of like celebrities and football players. Almost to the point it was like, who is this who? Because someone was walking through with a giant bounty jacket on that they got when they were going around doing radio. And we couldn't exactly place a name on who it was that was still wearing their bounty jacket on our flight.
But like Johnnie Smith was on our flight and David Njoku was on our flight and Venus William was on our flight. And there's a player from an unrivaled on our flight. All in first class, I assume. No, there were so many people that they ran out of first class seats. Like I'm not even joking. I was shocked because I booked the flight like, I don't know, a month and a half ago.
So I got like row two of normal people seating. So I was like row nine or whatever, right? And like when I'm seeing some of these people walk past me and I'm like, this just does not feel right. Like I'm not supposed to be sitting further up on the airplane than these people. And like we've discussed this a number of times and I thought it on the way up because on the way up,

Chapter 3: What happened with Jimmy Johnson's emotional feature?
No.
It was before Harry Connick Jr. allegedly spoke the first words. So they used AI for this career retrospective of Jimmy Johnson. It was cool. You meet 17-year-old Jimmy Johnson playing at Arkansas, and AI Jimmy Johnson is literally walking the fields of his career. And he's like, I was a graduate assistant at Louisiana Tech where I recruited a quarterback named Terry Bradshaw. And A.I.
Terry Bradshaw shows up. And he's like, we'll see each other later. And now me, obviously knowing where this is going, I'm like, all right, show me Jimmy Johnson from the U. You see Jimmy Johnson from the U. You see the Apex jacket. And how about them Cowboys era? And it's actually pretty cool. At the end of it, everybody is on stage. Jay Glazer, that's how you know it's important.
They bring the whole team together. They're all standing there around Jimmy. That is how you know.
It is how you know it's important. Like Strahan and Brady were walking on Bourbon Street to celebrate Lady Gaga, and behind Jimmy Johnson was Jay Glazer, and it gave me comfort to know I'm walking towards something large. He's been allowed to be the hood ornament on the biggest thing.
So he's talking to you about his entire career. You're like, okay. About halfway through, you catch on. Wait a second. Is Jimmy Johnson about to retire? And you see Jay Glazer on the set. And you're like, Jimmy Johnson's got to retire. And they go on and on. And Jimmy's crying. And he's saying, like, this is the happiest he's ever been in his life.
And there's all sorts of reporting out there about Terry Bradshaw retiring. We didn't see anything about Terry Bradshaw. So I'm like, wow. Did they get it wrong? Or is that maybe in the future Terry Bradshaw retires? I'm like, we're saying goodbye to Jimmy Johnson. This is a moment. Am I getting emotional? And then Kurt asked him at the very end, like, Is this goodbye?
And he's like, one day at a time. You can't do that. You can't know. This was goodbye. I'm emotionally prepared for goodbye. This is like when Kirk Herbstreit brought a second dog around that looked exactly like the first dog.
Peter.

Chapter 4: How does Radio Row exemplify media chaos?
Chapter 5: How does AI impact content creation?
You may.
Jimmy Johnson... famously did the stuff that Nick Saban did testing his ego and the pros.
And when he got to the Miami Dolphins, what he thought was his dream job, at the end of that, because of what it demanded of him, because of the emotions it unleashed when his mother died, he shows up at the funeral, sobs in the arms of his sons for not being there for him, for them, because football consumed him so much.
Is this real Jimmy or fake Jimmy? That's a good question.
One that was on your plane.
Well, which one was that? It was drink... I mean, it was. It was watching a Mormon show. Relax.
Sounds like something fake Jimmy would do.
R.I.P. Jim Mandich.
For Jimmy Johnson to learn while staring over his mother's casket... that he needed to leave football. And for him to share with Wayne Huizenga, the late owner of the Dolphins, the idea of QTL, quality time left. Jimmy Johnson's been thinking about mortality for a long time, and every time I see him walking through, after having to fly across the country at his age,
