1:08 the best damn gummies you've ever had must be 21 years or older to purchase delta none this is the dan levitor show with the stugats podcast there are a lot of things that we need to get to here i know mike ryan is uh what creeped out by the midnight yell thing weirded out by the midnight yell thing a college football tradition i need to get to witty because he needs to recap three hours of college football yesterday you have to understand the adrenaline rush that is all of sports fan hyper ventilation of football weekend is college football was nuts this weekend and then the nfl comes and swamps it totally nuts listen to this three-hour period of college football a recap of just something that they threw into your saturday and this is why they're getting all the money and it's weekend programming forever and it's eight billion dollars and college football will soon be bigger if it's not

2:08 already bigger than basketball than professional basketball because it's just now this giant money minor league thing that is going to be the next five years of nuts on gambling so my college football saturdays are gonna be fairly occupied by mls for the next month because the the season is wrapping up so i don't actually get to watch a lot of college football so i get home on saturday night and i have this app where you can load tweets from the past and so i load 600 college football tweets to try and catch up it's like 11 30 at night it takes me back to 9pm because so much [ __ ] has happened here's everything that happened like nine what i don't understand what this what like this is how you experience college football yeah sad like a robot you're like doing homework when you get home from your other gig yeah i got home it was like 11 30 at night and i was like i need to i need to know what's going on college football i

3:03 just love how thorough you are with that like most people like you would be like all right let me catch up like you have such a like a system like a system that means it's so annoying wait wait i have a a feed for you for just that it's called the slow news report report i can catch you up if the slow report is more active on a college football saturday then it could it could it could be better but uh so anyway so i i flipped this on my yard what's going on college football i apparently miss a 3 30 window where appalachian state beat it these are just the night games so i the first thing i see kansas won they won by two touchdowns in overtime that's not possible how did that happen one defensive return yeah it was it was a pick six they won 55-42 they did not have to return it but they opted to so kansas who i i think has like six fbs wins in the last six years or something they're off to a two-and-oh start kansas

3:56 might make a bowl game this year how about that holy cross won on a hail mary bowling green went for two and they tried to hook in lateral with an offensive lineman i saw that too with an offense they hook in like they threw a receiver screen and the guy pitched it to an offensive lineman in fifth overtime georgia southern didn't punt until the second half against nebraska tickets didn't work for 75 percent of the power five people just couldn't download the tickets to their phone oh no and so like this one app this is why the um game was empty trying to get me trying it never works it'll be so hard one day maybe you will elicit emotion out of me 1 52 in the morning byu and baylor went to overtime the sun belt was paid 4.1 million dollars to beat major college football teams nebraska has lost 10 straight one score games scott frost last lost 23 one score games in five years in nebraska tom

4:59 osborne lost 25 in 25. uh everything that happened on the jaden delora played you see this the arizona quarterback he like ran around in circles for 80 yards and then through an interception down the field it was wild 2 15 in the morning oregon state with a walk-off touchdown in the last second against fresno state this [ __ ] was insane i i kept blowing like what is happening in this sport that was eight that was started at 9 30 p.m all the games it's like one big witching hour because all the games are happening all at once you have to there's this great twitter account at sicko's committee you have to set them to mobile alerts during the college football season i'm sorry what because so much is happening sicko's committee they will tell you everything that's going on and you can actually follow this in real time and try to get as many tvs as you possibly can on it what is happening with this as an

5:52 entertainment vehicle it's only going to get more and more fun as amazon plays games with his broadcasts and all of it feels interactive is your weekends have some freedom in them if you're a sports fan and the gambling's all over the place and you don't care whether it's bowling green or you don't you're just now learning i mean appalachian state has been going to michigan for a while and doing weird things but stop scheduling those guys we've been telling you for years don't schedule those guys but the sun belt wins some of these games and you're realizing oh wait this is all laundry numbers i can bet on in the transaction age this is all all of it is the witching hour oh it doesn't matter it's just yeah i'm watching same game you are i'm watching arizona run around out there just in circles and they're not any good and it's just money running all over the field ironically enough you can recognize one of the

6:42 players from appalachian state and it's probably not cameron people's a running back that's absolutely gonna be playing at the next level it's chase bryce because chase bryce is still playing college football i believe chase bryce correct me if i'm wrong backed up kelly bryant at clemson i think he's played a university of miami team in three different uniforms chase price has because he went to clemson he went to duke and because of the covet year he is smart still at appalachian future not here right now with all of these transfer portals and everything else where you're seeing that oh this is just minorly gambling on football this is just minor league gambling on professionals no but i'm saying it's just on i don't have to wait till sunday to get my fix of i'm gonna make prop bets all over the place on people who are paid mercenaries yeah that's a that's a deal and it is the second biggest major sport in the

7:33 united states tv ratings help bear that out it's not basketball it's not baseball it is college football college football is king and it is a testament to the power of the nfl that we always do this we don't talk enough about college football bama and texas had a classic game and it makes you actually really eager to see where college football goes from here because alabama look part of their success is they have the greatest coach of all time obviously but they've been doing this thing where they won't go on the road to play a non-conference game against a power five opponent last time they did that was 2011. it's tough to do it's tough to do week in and week out now i know that they play in the sec i'm not taking anything away from nick saban you can read into it but look what happens look how great that is and if we're gonna build these super leagues is is week two and college football

8:29 going to be the norm i can't wait for it well i think it goes to show how important it is to play on campus sites and so i hope that if the 12 game playoff happens the first round or first two rounds will be played at campuses because the atmosphere is why people like college football the stakes the story lines the home crowd being in the game like that's what made it hard for alabama to go in there and just play alabama football you can't just you know take that for granted in college football that's why people love the sport we haven't talked to you since you went to the backyard brawl which started the weekend off but you're about to if this is the content of the future that everyone values and the content of now that everyone values because the nfl is kingsport and the witching hour can't be stopped and all of the streaming services are going to feud over the right to air football games of course saturdays now that

9:20 they're money and part of the transaction with eight billion dollar conferences is going to be the sugar of oh now you can do it all weekend now you can care about crazy football results that are just uniforms running around because because gambling has gotten so big and the entertainment of fantasy and and and the love of numbers and the ability to make money off the numbers it just becomes like more it's only going to get bigger and i wonder if the news cycle will will ignore it the way that it it does typically because the nfl just swallows it and we in the media can't help but go to how awesome nfl sunday was you can't really do the fantasy sport aspect with it and you just have just this huge bender of football over the weekend but i really do hope people pay more attention to college football and some of those traditions that people gravitate to that make it just a little bit different and

10:10 a lot kookier because you have really weird cultures that embed themselves into this and are powerhouses such as texas a m well let's talk about this cult for a second because uh explain to people the history of the midnight yell explain to them uh and and arkansas is the creepiest one arc we're in agreement the right pig no i i would say texas a m no no no no dude i have to be careful because i'm going to college station i am not insulting yeah i'm not insulting this town i'm not there they're very passionate i had no idea what texas a m was until i sat in one of their sections at the orange bowl and this was before social media and i did not know about like are they a military school that's not a military school do they have an rotc program why is everyone dressed in white why it was a cult it's very weird like why are the cheerleaders doing guns like i don't understand any of it and if you

11:05 do misspeak by the way they will be in all of our mentions today yeah very proud let's have fun no no no i mean every color i mean every color in here is so bright yeah i mean it's so bright don't send me back there go sit outside i can't take it you're doing a different show than the rest of it it's a lot of coffee i know it drinks some water it helps it needs to stop well thirsty they do the midnight yell in college station which is basically a practice for all the chants get out a practice for all the chants that they're gonna do at the game uh in a couple hours after the midnight so he says he wants to hear your story he does so it's it's bizarre and usually you don't have video of it now video circulates because of social media and how easy it is to circulate so you get a bit of banter and this was the midnight yell in advance of the appalachian state game oh i had to google this team to make

12:13 sure that they're even real i was really confused because appalachia is definitely not a state but sure enough i found them and they're located deep and i mean deep in the backwoods just like you would think any hillbilly college that names themselves the mountaineers i just hope that these guys can get here tomorrow all right because i know for a fact that half of their football team can barely even read the name on their jerseys let alone read a map it's a shame that the only two brain cells that all these guys have left are gonna get knocked out by our wrecking crew defense tomorrow appalachian state went on to win it it was weird they weren't inspired by that amazing stand-up routine by the dude in overalls doing finger guns in between every line it is really really cringy stand up that uh that he was doing there and then of course yes you can't lose again though as we head into minor league football and money spilling

13:29 from the sky the sun belt conference takes the weekend are we gonna we're gonna just ignore we're gonna talk about the nfl and and um the mariota-led falcons because we must instead of sort of celebrating what's coming uh for saturdays what i'd like to talk because i had an opportunity to go to the midnight yell on friday i'm not going because i number one it's just not a good place for me and number two is i was kind of worried as where it might go and hearing how people in college station texas talk about appalachia how do you think they're going to talk about miami i can't wait i mean please i want i want uh stand-up branded comedy coming out of texas a m are we afraid that they are indeed culty in spirit because you're the kind of fan base that if you call a cult they'll just tell you plain is day yes we are and you think that you're insulting them and they'll just yeah no we're absolutely a cult i have nothing

14:29 i have nowhere to go after that it's very disarming we got passionate fans that sounded like paint we've got passionate fans very different okay let's do the f1 connor now let's see she's hopped up on coffee too is the problem just like i mean she's uh yes okay let's do the f1 minute under these circumstances with you uh jacked up on coffee it was a big f1 uh weekend look out here comes jessica watch out now yeah we've got three f1 minutes in a row because i didn't do one after the belgian grand prix because that was the day that that carver watched two aubrey plaza movies oh she is having a moment right here we go the summer break belgium and the italian grand prix formula one minute during the break sebastian vettel retires fernando is going to aston martin oscar pastries going to lp no piazza's going to mclaren ricardo is out 20 23 seats are up for grabs and williams and hops spa grid penalties

15:26 sunday at spa lewis and alonzo collide lewis is out beltry and latifi are out ferrari is on plan z by lap ten max for seven overcomes a grid penalty to win the race in zandevord verstappen wants to win his home race lewis hamilton has hot tires in the lead but ub senator seat belt is broken and a virtual safety car gives a snap and a chance to pit botes retires late in the best land george russell pits ferrari forgets a back tire you need four lewis's best chance one of the season is in shambles verstappen wins another one the final weekend of the triple header is in monza more grid penalties but no one knows who's going to start where goodwin fia leclaire takes pole position to step on his piece seven in ferrari's home race is theirs to lose and they will daniel ricardo is racing in a hot seat for 2023 but he has to retire his car five laps to go will they get a safety car will the race restart the

16:07 safety car is deployed but the race will end under a virtual safety car i did not know that could happen neither did michael massey with only a handful of races to go over stappin can clinch in singapore and win his second drivers championship that's amazing we got a timer in your head what's wrong with the mean i don't understand what the coffee has done to people around here today amine has been a disaster since the moment that he walked in here has he explained to any of you guys what is happening with him because his judgment has been profoundly banned but worse than usual soaking wets having a heart attack tony i was told that you have a top five something for us oh top five something yeah dan i do have a top five something billy told me and i be well branded apparently too he just walked in and out guys have a tony top five for monday we're like what is it well no tony top five for week one oh

17:02 okay oh there's yeah but it wasn't actually done well then it's done now because he walked in saying guys i have a top five and we're like what is it he's like i still gotta work on it no no no it's about putting pen to paper it's obviously i'm driving when i'm when i'm walking over you know i'm thinking i can't write stuff down so i got to write it down when i get here but you you walked into the studio saying i got something well yeah cause you got to get in early if not things you know things happen okay well you're speaking of bad judgment around here and no what are we doing there well this is what i need to do i need to show everybody in the audience what's happening around here because for some reason you and billy had sparks today and then you're hugging each other and i it's a very what happened why were you guys arguing well i mean what happened was i came in a little late there's a lot of traffic so

17:46 i was here like maybe five or ten minutes before we started the show and billy said something to me and then it kind of pissed me off so i snapped back at billy really hard and i didn't mean to do it it wasn't just something he dismissed your top five yeah i know he showed what i said was i don't work for you no no that's not what you said i believe you said who's clamoring for a tony stop fight yeah that's exactly what you said which then i replied to him nobody cares about anything you do all right and i felt bad about that we got to a good start this morning okay so i think chris i'm a different person during football season i'm telling you like the next four months like don't be anywhere near me is this useless sound oh is this the useless is that what's happening there's 8 000 people working here now but i'm still doing useless sounds no resentment there at all people are clamoring for you have to do

18:33 it sorry we are sorry that we have made several people here crazy with coffee and the dungeon and the prison that billy lives in with useless sound but what i don't understand is why you guys are snapping at each other and i don't also understand are billy is billy rooting i didn't want to go to this top five i did not care for tony's top five i asked billy if there was anything in football that he wanted to talk about and he says tony's got a top five and and so i'm i'm asking you guys um as we talk this out on air i want to hear it i want to hear tony's top five it's a weekly segment is it sponsored well not yet but who who determined that there would be a weekly top five was there a meeting well just in case you guys want to go to it i'm going to do it no matter what if you guys want to go to it you can if not tony texted me about it i was like i'd love to hear it and he's like maybe i'll

19:38 also do it on air too so it's really just for me i like that he's calling a shot here i'm gonna make a top five how else am i supposed to do stuff around here go tell me that you want to do something and we can discuss it he is right now i just did rise up but he also told billy in the garage and billy snapped at him and then they were hugging each other i don't understand the resentments that are growing through tony wants to do a top five and none of us trust him to do it it's a great top five i have an idea i have an idea we let him do it this week and this room will vote on if he gets to do it here we also didn't vote on him doing it this week so he's just gonna come back next we're gonna do it this week and we're gonna decide and if it's really good tony we'll all vote yeah that's fine i'm going to do it no matter what it's going to be me screaming into the void for 17 weeks you already got one

20:27 yes with me buddy thank you you're a good teammate chris but here's the problem okay i've got a show to do and tony's judgment tends to be bad and right now amin's playing a good deal of defense and jessica can handle her coffee very well obviously and amin can't handle anything because he's been useless today as stoughton incidentally uh texts me from campus okay this is the stu gods we're getting today if he's telling you dan i'm texting from campus i don't think he's there okay fair enough but this is what he's been doing because how many times does one take their daughter to school there have been like seven it's the new lacrosse mitzvah is that what's happening yeah he's had to move his daughters into school seven times also also get ready because he told me that northwestern is trimester so this is gonna be a three time a year occurrence i think that's just for one of them then semesters for the other so at least at

21:21 five times a semester he is saying he is claiming that he is pointing finger guns at uh students that he is trying to keep away from his daughters while because he's very popular on campus and the kids know who he is uh he just told a baseball player to keep it moving and that this dorm room is the dorm room he has heard where everyone strikes out so he's wandering around insulting uh insulting college uh friends of his daughters to keep everyone away from them being maximums to god he also had a horrible idea earlier that he pitched to jess which was he wanted to pay a football player nil money to be his daughter's security guard and like i don't think so sue gods he wanted to ask pat fitzgerald and stupidity if he could get like one of his most trustworthy players to like be a guardian over his daughter and i was like well have you asked your daughter about that and he was like no i'm asking pat fitzgerald

22:19 buddy i was like well maybe you should talk to your daughter before you do the overprotective dad thing but what am i to judge i was my daughters no one wanted to mess with jimbo's daughters when they were in college didn't get a lot of support i'm sorry i'm looking up at the screen right now and getting very distracted by a mean this is like i don't know what a good teammate here because i'm now longing for tony's top five stu godzilla i've said it before and i'll say it again i love a good gummy whether i'm on the golf course or winding down after a long day of carrying the show on my back all i need is one good gummy to help me totally relax and now thanks to my good friends at cbdmd getting delta 9 thc gummy shipped directly to your door is not only possible it's easy and affordable how about that every cbd md delta 9 gummi is packed with 10 milligrams of thc per gummy and let me tell you buddy they work cbd md also has

23:19 delta 9 micro dose capsules that feature one milligram of thc so it's easy to enjoy them whenever wherever and listen i know it's easy to get confused with all the different deltas out there but delta nine thc is the same good old-fashioned thc we've all known and loved for years to learn more about delta 9 and everything else cbdmd has to offer just head to cbdmd.com once again that's cbdmd.com dan for information education and the best damn gummies you've ever had must be 21 years or older to purchase delta none don lebatard shane patty's gone and dwayne wade goes i'm not sure what's going on with the culture sinking ship stugots they realize riley i mean suppose never leaving you know i feel like what's his name had a uh exactly keep going just

25:25 hold on hold on there's more you're going to elaborate on what the chief just doing a little bit no just a little bit okay but i'm going to wait for mine i like it like that though the crappier the better who's sponsoring it nobody hold on a second what tony are you still doing tv stuff right now what do you mean like video stuff because isn't here so his weekend observations when miller light needs something oh middle light maybe miller lightweight you might get a six-pack yeah but okay a little six-pack you gotta put the logo on the screen do you still work in tv put the logo on the screen yeah okay danny can you put the logo on the screen okay it's somebody else's job to make him a star tony on behalf of unearned entitlement number four number five no number five i'm trying to move it along yeah it's a six-pack i like number five as the chiefs are just gonna be fine okay the cowboys are in trouble danno

26:27 nfc stall 1-0 the cowboys 0-1 dak press got out for a month or two not good yeah we're missing the logo too is that a vote yes from dan uh i mean we're halfway there so far i got a couple now i'm just blindly picking a song called stadium stomper i feel like this i like that yeah the sports songs on apm are never what you hope they're going to do you got to look for other stuff that's for number three okay kind of funky it's foot loosey number three carson wentz is exactly who he thought he was he really is he really is i'm most buying dan this is an upset it looked good and then he threw black back breaking interceptions to a linebacker and then they still won who knew uh the reason i'm giving him the most buy-in is because he is saying only the most obvious things this is like a bayside tigers football montage i like it or you want a different sound here it's not working for me i was thinking this was more like when safe by

27:39 the bell was working at the beach for the summer go ahead and choose another one we'll keep doing this on the fly as we work out the kinks in this not sponsored segment not yet there's one called stadium fever should i try that yeah yeah all right it's what i had on saturday that's what everyone had on saturday oh yeah this one's good this is a high school football highlights montage on a cable access show actually i think this is just motley crew number two justin jefferson and jamar chase are unguardable i mean dan have you seen them i am yes have you seen them i have so okay did you see did you see the play where jamar chase ran him in the middle of the field and nobody was guarding him for like 55 yards he just ran into the end zone basically yeah uh justin jefferson had more yards than anyone like second quarter of that game because he strides like a sprinter not seen in that uniform

28:40 since randy moss i don't know how anybody how any human being on earth covers what that guy does he's the best wide receiver on the planet right now joe burrow had some amazing weapons in college yeah that was that was a little outside looking in joe scheiste maybe made by jamar chase and justin jefferson that's just a little a little part of the six-pack okay didn't like that okay number one just keep it uh the most obvious joe shot did you ask who joe scheiste was joe scheisty joe joe burr what what joey b what do we do guys what are we doing here you know you don't know joseph next time okay bad judgment uh the nickname i don't know a song called exit velocity i think that might be a slur is it his nickname uh let's go ahead with number what yikes number one number one old faces new places same result this is another top five within a top five you ready for this devonta adams 10 for 41 on 17 targets tyreek hill 8 for

29:35 94 on 12 targets aj brown who was amazing 10 for 55 on 13 targets baker mayfield sucks in four starts on opening day he's got six interceptions allen robinson one for 12. old faces new places same results good good top five and billy billy you're actively playing defense against tony rising in this company i've noticed it and you hug him but it's an insincere hug you were i felt sincere you no tony tony nobody wanted that segment and billy threw you to the wolves i mean no i said no one wanted the segment beforehand just in case it went poorly yeah that's a good job i don't want to see a public execution no you know what i mean no one wants to see that luckily the ufc stopped it i mean hamza would have absolutely torn apart nate diaz torn him apart this was a football segment just saying i got a couple of ufc thoughts too damn don't know if you want those yeah get his music that is music i don't have a top five

30:38 but i do i do have one glaring oh look at this music one glaring one glaring observation yeah there there's a song here called one last match oh that's good i don't think that's words it's by chris all right you just sing lyrics while while this is going on go ahead feel free chris cody do it as harry kerry one last match okay so one last match we had the obviously the ufc 279 was destroyed when hamza chimayov missed weight by eight pounds all of a sudden they shuffle up the card we've got tony ferguson a legend versus nate diaz a legend now fighting for the first time this fight was probably great nine years ago but alas we have it this year and it looked like two uncles fighting at a cookout that was basically it two uncles that took their shirts off and said you know what we're fighting each other that was it that's my glaring observation dano okay i'm leaving see you later mike i don't know if

31:37 whittingham is also leaving i think at this point tony is actively repelling the entirety of the show is it mean okay i don't know what's going on uh with him and his judgment it's bad under all circumstances i don't think he's making any judgment right now i want to ask you guys something someone is making a final judgment dan it seems like seems like you hire a lot of people with bad judgment yeah yeah maybe that's your judgment dan yeah we are nothing if not a reflection of me in all its dysfunctional forms that is correct and it will surprise no one that this comment comes from a concerned listener because in keeping with a totally messy wild environment where no one's accountable for anything and everyone uh you know bounces against each other uh no one's paid enough grit of death penalties i will pay another one uh tomorrow tony will pay one uh greg cody owes one but we've gone into another sponsored grid

32:36 of death season not believing that you guys will actually hold up your end of the deal nobody believes it i'll pay one off this week i will watch all three lord of the rings films i will do it i said i was gonna do it two weekends ago no one really followed up on it so i didn't do it i will do it now it's hard by the end of this all of these things are harder than you think every last one there are very few punishments that have been easy for anyone they're all uncomfortable for us you have liked what amazon has done with its billion dollars uh on lord of the rings yes i've really enjoyed the first two episodes so far it's been like way exceeded my expectations reeled it that way weren't they really high given that it was a billion dollar expensively i had medium expectations i was like if it stinks that's a bummer but fine if it's good though like okay i'm going to be really invested in this

33:25 thing because i lost writing is it possible to stink at a billion dollars like yeah absolutely i mean if you totally whiff on what your fans want then yeah i think so i mean game of thrones whiffed on their final season with a bajillion dollars wasn't that hbo show vinyl really terrible where they spent the [ __ ] they didn't like martial it was martin scorsese yes and didn't even like finish its first season there was huge there have been some massive like expenditures i guess the one thing that the lord of the rings has though is the source material right well yeah so i think people who aren't maybe like die hard fans are a little confused about what the show actually covers so tolkien one of so he obviously wrote the lord of the rings which was one book and then they split it into three books because the publisher was like this is never gonna sell it's a billion pages and then he obviously wrote the hobbit um which was

34:14 the prequel to the lord of the rings so all of those films were made by peter jackson first with the trilogy that came out starting in the early 2000s and then the hobbit which was like a decade later or so and like technology had evolved massively in between the making of those two films so they look really really different used like way different film styles etc and so then when it came out that amazon was going to make this prequel to the hobbit a lot of people thought that it was going to be based off the silmarillion which is probably tolkien's fourth or fifth most famous book it's really dense it's really hard to get through i've tried reading it i don't think i've ever fully read it cover to cover but it's basically the history of of middle earth and how the the world began and and the creation story and then everything that happened up to that with the elves and the men and all the

35:00 different races but this is not what the amazon show is about the amazon show has the rights to the lord of the rings and the hobbit and all the appendices from the lord of the rings so they can't actually make a show about anything from the silmarillion but they can reference things that happen in the silmarillion as how to as to how they pertain to the lord of the rings so there's kind of a lot of like questions about what they would actually want to show and like what storylines they were going to follow and so it's still kind of unfolding like there's a lot the first episode was basically just exposition you just met a bunch of different characters in a bunch of different places the second episode got more into like story line and now the one minute music like this they're gonna maybe start forging the great rings well the coffee got hurt too and here's part of here's part of the issue though because this is this is

35:46 what these streaming services have done that's so brilliant is you get a fandom that's this detailed on something and now they feel like they're making something just for you and they will have your dollars as amazon prime hasn't gotten a whole lot of people to come over because there aren't many franchises like this one that have so many have an audience of cult members who are so in on the details that every morsel you better tell this with respect this story i care about it your billion dollars don't matter to me unless you actually get to the core of how i care about this these streaming centers man they've got your face in print they know what you like they know the algorithms needed throw a billion dollars at this you'll get jessica in in two episodes 100 but i think what i like the most about it it looks more like the first lord of the rings films in terms of the way that it's shot you have these like sweeping

36:34 landscapes it's not overly like um like techy and fake looking like the hot the hobbit was shot at like a really fast frame rate it looked like very weird and too smooth and it was kind of hard to watch this just looks like the original films it's beautiful it's not like super cgi from i mean i watched it on a plane so obviously i'm gonna re-watch the first two episodes but like i thought it looked really good i thought the acting was good and like there was a lot of references to the first three films in terms of dialogue so i feel really excited about it obviously like i've only seen the very first two episodes i think it's an eight episode long season but so far like i've been impressed i think the tone matches what i'm stunned writing kind of is like like a lot of people have been comparing to game of thrones and house of the dragon which just premiered around the same time and the tone of the two different fantasy worlds

37:25 is totally different i love tolkien's world it's much lighter and it's more like it's less cynical than game of thrones like there's there's a good verse evil heroes journey all of that you're not like oh no the main character is going to like have sex with their brother and then get murdered like it's just a completely different fantasy world and i i appreciate tolkien's writing a lot and i think the tone of the show matches it so far i'm stunned to hear you say that you didn't have huge expectations and that they have exceeded those expectations uh with the fan that you are of this because the bar for the discerning on this is in my opinion too high well i think like if you have um you know low expectations you'll never be disappointed dan like if i'm like oh you know well i'm a i'm gen z millennial like the world's going to end when i'm 35. then like if the world doesn't until i'm 40 i'm like

38:15 wow we did really good guys we made it and i learned that jess is a nihilist to answer your question people will be paying off their punishments soon well this is four people lost this week dan four people lost so we have to just if you want you lost i believe you can select today because everyone else will be in tomorrow making selections on their punishments but billy this is not from me it's a comment from a concerned listener i believe that they wrote in as a concerned listener i'm never that guy but i'm gonna be that guy for a second poor form to kick off a newly sponsored segment missing three people miss mike missing his toilet paper payoff uh bucket in studio filming last year was way better just a sloppy sloppy start to a rebranded segment how do we fix it you're not present for the show first pull is who you get that's it first poll is who you get enough with player coach commissioners

39:11 machine gun skippy has ultimate authority and will make sure punishments are done or else don't have your punishment done within two weeks instant death on the third week and every week thereafter after until fulfilled a metal locker should pull every third week and if they lose the punishment is performed by one of them drawn randomly who is this person punishments can be voided if stu godz goes to sioux falls mike doesn't look in mirrors for a day chris cody shows us his belly button this is ridiculous get that [ __ ] out of here way too far i'll pick a punishment but get that [ __ ] out of here it is a concern a concerned listener who hated doing that by the way should be noted and they're never that person but oh but i feel like it's totally fair it is totally fair for a listener to question our show on accountability here because what does any of this stuff means if uh nobody's actually fulfilling their punishments

40:08 why are we bothering with the fraudulent entertainment because we sold it you want organization you want follow-through you want function i'm sorry this isn't the show for you we are who we are yeah accept us love us we're not changing you need to change wow yeah that's uh the entitlement you've grown to love around here which is why tony comes in with a sponsored segment of top fives that nobody asked for and wasn't sponsored we never voted on that and so what is your vote billy i want to get your thoughts at your i vote yes uh well i vote yes really well dan already voted yes so that's it i think it's back okay so give me as tony's top five i'm out oh no it's a no for me clive jeez so you've got you have uh top five okay the vote is done uh billy you're our number five in the universe internationally according to the guardian you are number five in the universe football insider we have spent the

41:03 entire day talking about football we haven't gotten enough of your thoughts we have not talked to you about the bills we've not talked to you about god bless football you and stu gods on friday are doing an epic and sprawling podcast that's getting more and more popular your thoughts on the bills the bills winning big before kansas city won big the bill's looking i'm uh we just we dismissed the hype train billy and i before this season i said we don't buy the bills we were all we were all over like the bill's overrated the bills are talking about at super bowl favorites why is everyone suddenly on the bills and then made sense i was the only one in here on the bills so i felt like i was no sampson was like that's really when it turned for you if we're gonna betray trust cause as soon as samson said i buy the bills chris goes [ __ ] i should sell on well yeah that's one that made me honestly feel bad about it when

41:53 he said it but then it actually happened so i was feeling myself going into sunday like i predicted the bills they were all wrong and then you know wake up call sunday don't buy the bills long term i'm telling you right now i'm not getting off this stance don't buy the bills bills are gonna bills you can do this and my opinions are irrelevant because my devonte adams opinion that he was not a number one receiver and that aaron rodgers was making him everything that he was once upon a time is as wrong as i've ever been if it didn't stand next to my other opinion that josh allen was terrible well here's the thing about my here's the thing about my take on don't buy the bills there's only one way i'm going to be wrong on this and it's if the bills win the super bowl because even if the bills lose the super bowl i will retweet don't buy the bills so 1 in 32 chance that i'm wrong about this i like my odds and even if they win

42:43 i will find a pivot that's what i do as a football insider though i i was laughing because mike ryan did have good analysis his analysis was i just don't believe in the titans and the giants are healthy and the giants we've been making in front of them through through mcadoo 10 years or like the balls because he went for two and some people wouldn't
