difference seems to be this imaging i have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there that hasn't happened to you guys i've done it and now here's the marching band to nowhere fat face and the habitual liar we're presented by draftking sportsbook an official sports benton partner of the nfl download the draftking sportsbook app today and use code dan for a special offer when you sign up that's called dan only at draftking sportsbook dan i think there's a young person thing going on and i need to learn because you know how emotionally invested i am in my teams when southern miss led miami 7-3 i was despondent i i was inconsolable i thought i was just wasting all my time and effort and resources you're not gonna be good around this stuff mike you're too emotional you your biggest investment in time and money and emotion in everything
is hurricanes football by leaps and bounds you've gotten embedded in the program i'd say as someone who's worked in this market for a long time i would say that no one no reporter has been embedded in a team in that team the way that you have been and you're totally unreasonable i don't have a lot of free time and most of my free time is devoted to the university of miami and working on all that stuff but so miami ended up winning easily it was really refreshing to have a team make a halftime adjustment i haven't seen a coaching staff do that in a very long time i think that's a headline from that game um but i was i was just totally inconsolable when they were down 7-3 so i'm an emotional creature i can't divest myself from that and so naturally i want to feed off of other people's grief uh when other people that i know feel very strongly about their sports teams lose that helps fuel me it's one of the
best things in sports billy do you enjoy doing this chris do you enjoy doing this enjoying the misery of one of your friends i don't enjoy anything a sports fan of a team that uh is losing or suffering because this conversation started because i just asked jessica how are you holding up yeah so i naturally wanted to drink jess's tears everybody did because marshall beat notre dame oh that happened wait what was that that happened oh wait oh i'm sad now okay jessica is notre dame your greatest emotional allegiance in sports which one is the greatest emotional which is the one that hurts the most or creates the most joy when something happens with your team that's a good question steelers at notre dame are pretty like pretty up there for me i have all these questions too because i was like jess on aggregate you had a very good football weekend but then i was like wait is pit one of her teams now i'm i'm not i'm not
entirely sure and you have to think about the fact that the irish technically went one-on-one this weekend so what how what the queen oh oh the queen that's a good joke actually that's not better better unexplained yeah i like their yard markers by the way notre dame i was watching them i don't know why everyone doesn't have it like it it says how many yards to go on them like digitally i was watching the game and it says like third down four to go or maybe it just said like third down on it there was a number on it i like the fact that there was a digital number look guys she's doing it again she's totally successfully deflected we're looking to drink her tears she won't allow us to do it she is elite at this i thought well i've always thought it's a mask i've i've thought that she's got to protect herself around cruelty and awful and so i've assumed she can't show people too much vulnerability because
they can't be trusted with it no but when things are humming she'll certainly rub it in your face oh that's not true i don't know what you're talking about i have never rubbed anyone in anything's face here what oh that is stealing this because of the chardonnay is marcus freeman the only coach that can not get worse looking when he's owned two oh yeah yes he's still as good looking still because usually if he's owen to lose to marshall all of a sudden not good looking i looked at him he's still good looking he beat that quarters up by at least 40. he hung 40 on that quarter zip dude is still he's not just a dish he's the entire meal he looks incredible and it makes me have confidence that he'll figure it out but just does not give me the pain and suffering that i was looking for and i'm beginning to think that this is a young person thing because i i woke up saturday morning i was like oh wait ucf played an acc
opponent let me see how that turned out and so i went to twitter and i checked ucf for the final graphic and i was on that graphic for a very long time in the morning because i don't know if you saw how small the number was with the final score final was big numbers hard to find but through zooming in i found out that ucf lost at home so naturally the very next move i searched jeremy tashe on twitter and i want to drink his tears gave me nothing you young kids get more emotional and become unreasonable about your sports teams and give me your pain and suffering uh do you think do you think gojo is a young person because he was tweeting through it oh no no no no no no no no gojo and jess were very quiet on the text when notre dame was going down because stu got no i wasn't i replied to you a little quiet you're back i didn't leave the group like mike we spoke oh my my mike didn't he left because of attendance banter
the team wasn't even bad he left the group text because of a technical let's stick to notre dame don't fall for it again she's not for skating it's working let me tell you why i left that group chat because you started an attendance controversy that flatly wasn't you took a pre-game picture that featured two empty band sands and you're like wow bad turnout dude lower level i mean it may be filled though once the first quarter started at the start yeah it said once the first quarter started everybody's in the concourse because it's 110 degrees i do not want to argue you took the one section of the savings you said the lower ball would be filled with excitement it would be like notre dame you said no i i said it would be an electric atmosphere they got twelve thousand more fans at that game than they had for their uni yeah because it was stupid i saw the photo the photo that he sent the photo
it's always a photo pre-game of the band stands there were 46 000 people there no no no at southern miss no southern miss i i i'll absolutely have that bait it eye on the ball protect your mental health leave the group if it's going to trigger you that's fine it was triggering because it was so uneducated how are you how are you going to stay how are you going to send me the miami band stand and the bethune band stand it
it would have been so bad the other half of the stadium was so fast i left the group because i'm like he can't be this stupid he cannot be starting whoa a controversy that is not there he cannot be followed before the stupid one you're arguing an empty stadium was filmed on the other side it was the angles behind the camera it was super full you don't get it dancing because notre dame interceptions were fan sections god damn it was before the game
saturday was [ __ ] that was good attendance that was good jessica no bethune was good it was 55 000 that's what that's at halftime maybe no i mean it's 110 degrees and you're sending photos before they are going to welcome mario here when he runs out in that field he's going to feel the palpable difference and it felt like every bethune cookman game no it didn't no it didn't i know that people filed in no because i've been to every bethune-cookman game i'm gonna stop a little better now because we've reached a terrible place when we're yelling at each other about um attendance and ignoring that jessica just spent 15 seconds dancing like michael flatley she physically got up and did i don't even know what to say keep doing that what that dance would be called her team lost at home tomorrow i'm not gonna let her keep getting away with this there's no way there's no way that didn't hurt jessica
i know you've got to put on a brave face but at home to marshall marcus freeman you wanted brian kelly you're happy that he's gone all right let's let's start here first off two things mike i think you're on to something with the generational difference in fandom because if you remember last year the jaguars had a clown out when they retained their gm uh this is like the thing that i notice in a lot of other young people we all think the world's going to end by the time we're like 35 so we're just laughing and going along with the memes we're all nihilus we know we're gonna die none of it matters we laugh in the face of our own pain that is accurate spongebob memes for life second thing yeah dan it sucked what do you want me to say it was bad just cry start crying can you cry can you cry hang on i haven't cried i'm gonna take my cell phone out just crying that's not true that's impossible you're doing
crying out where they can get brian kelly back and be 2-0 to see if her and gojo would bite neither of them even wanted to respond they refused this game i said if notre dame fired marcus freeman after two games dan would do 17 episodes about it i'm still mad that uh they gave charlie weiss so much more time than ty willingham oh yeah there was a problem with that well ty willingham also didn't recruit well and neither charlie weiss didn't do a good job and this is why brian kelly when he took over in 2011 lost a lot of these games he lost to tulsa he lost to south florida but even until later in his uh tenure at notre dame where he did have recruits coming in and did have a little bit more like institutional control over like what was going on they still lost bad games and it wasn't until 2017 well into his time at notre dame that they really started being a consistent football team that beat unranked teams
and even then there were still a couple games in the last couple years against ball state and toledo where they almost lost them and this was one of those ones where notre dame just got dominated and they couldn't do anything in the fourth quarter or in the second half really offensively they're weak in a few position groups it showed marshall had a really good game plan they had a few talented players that just ran over all over the field and i think notre dame fans are definitely resetting expectations i don't think that after week two you can ask for heads to roll because i think that that's a little soon but if this if marcus yeah when can heads roll i think well real it's notre dame so i answered that question who do they got next question by the way i i do have a question with nil and the transfer portal coaches should have a shorter leash now right because you don't need four years
to build and recruit you can get people the next season that's not that doesn't entire that's not entirely true and that's not exactly how the successful programs are building their teams you can probably have a decent team by building through the portal but you're not going to be clemson alabama ohio state or georgia like you'll i think notre dame probably should have been more aggressive in the portal going to the season knowing the weak spots they had on offense specifically but for whatever reason either they they weren't or they missed out but billy i don't think like i i think if notre name loses the a game like this in year three of marcus freeman because i i hope that he will get a chance to stick stick around i don't think he'll have a year three if he keeps like losing money i'm not saying you'd be fired after week two but at the same time you don't get four years anymore right with the recruiting
class because you're ross got like five yeah which was yeah yeah that's super true and their fan base their fan base wanted his head for two of them i don't we what do you and i were talking in the kitchen like it must be so incredibly frustrating for texas a m and nebraska because they are throwing so many resources just at the football you can chuck texas in there too their entire identity at least texas it looks like they wanted they were robbed they were robbed you don't have to get into that totally their quarterback their quarterback was healthy i thought they were going to win that game by two years of frustration with miami was like well they just don't care like those programs they don't have that problem they are caring more than anybody else and they still can't get it right and i am worried about notre dame in the portal era because with nil and and the fact that it's not very punitive to
leave your school i mean it becomes a less desirable location and i do think that you can be much more impatient with a head coach look at how quickly mel tucker changed things i think and michigan you can if there's someone that you like that you want to hire if you if there's not someone that you like then you keep the guy around but urban meyer no i mean that was always like the rumor that it was the dream joke i don't think that's going to happen why he's i don't think his brand aligns with notre dame's anymore steve sarkeesian said after that game we didn't lose we just ran out of time and when he gets let go by texas he will not have been fired he will have just run out of time like that coaches love saying that god you were so close to uh having a great college football week and texas was so close they even changed the rankings that's that's how bad texas has been for a while alabama dropped by by
merely winning a road game against texas behind georgia even even though georgia only won by 33 against samson the rankings are so weird florida beats utah in the first week we have no idea how good anybody is florida's unranked florida jumps to 12. now florida loses to kentucky kentucky shoots up no rank but utah is ahead of florida it makes zero and also like i so i was watching the game the kentucky florida game with one of my girlfriends who's not like a big college football fan and she was like wow this looks like it's gonna be a big upset because kentucky was beating florida and i was like well i think they were actually the points favorite to win and she's like well how does that work so i was trying to explain like well the ranking that you see like the 12 and the 20 those are voted on by reporters who don't get to watch every game like they're i mean they have to put their ballots in by
like 8 a.m sunday morning he was not favored in that game at florida no i think it was like six and a half points okay maybe maybe you're right by six bad example then but i was explaining the difference between the spread and the ap rankings i'm winning for the first time and i was i was trying to actually win in again i was trying to explain how you could be favored against a team that's ranked uh ahead of or yeah ahead of you but also like not be ahead of them compared to the rest of the field the ap poll is just like it's not like the most accurate shockingly way to determine who's good and who's not good stu godzilla the numbers don't lie in the last decade over 4 million people have chosen simply safe home security to protect their home i'm one of them they must be doing something right at simply safe your safety is the only thing that matters i know because i use simply safe in my own home they protect you with

safe like simply safe don libertard billy's got a conundrum here he's got a dog now and he doesn't know how to socialize with other dog owners stugots dogs dan i don't know if you're aware of dogs dogs like to smell each other and kind of like socialize and all that stuff so then i'm holding on to a leash with my dog on it while another owner is doing the same thing and i don't know how to interact with this owner in this case like hey you know my dog likes your dog's butt smell as you guys know i'm not good at small talk so like this is a nightmare for me because what do i talk to these other dog owners about i experience this exact same thing with my kid at a park it's the same thing kids and dogs are basically the same same exact on the pole right at laboratory shower kids and dogs basically because my two-year-old wants to run over and play with other kids and all of a sudden i'm standing there and
our two kids are kind of chasing each other and we're like hey yeah there's our kids how about that this is the dan levitar show with his two gods i'm sorry steve sarkeesian said he ran they ran out of time but they were up with like 50 seconds to go sounds like gave him too much time oh i love playing that game he didn't run out of time he had too much time especially in college time there is a guy at every football watch party in every home in america on a sunday afternoon that looks at the television it goes too much time left them too much time that is a classic watching football observation woody i'm gonna tell you right now last year cowboys bucks i was that guy oh yeah cowboys went up and there was like a minute to go that's too much time for brady i felt so proud of myself i felt like it's such a smart observation does that come from anywhere other than playing video games and getting burned
playing video games every single time i know i've come from i've never played video games that just comes from watching football i've never played like madden why why i just never had it growing up hey you played you know four you played it jessica hasn't cried since 2006 she's never played my nintendo ds video games she will not give you her roller coaster dan to answer your question yes it sucks but it's week two you have to just take it week by week from here see how the rest of the season plays out i still believe in marcus freeman and tommy reese i'm i'm hopeful that they'll turn things around but that sounds like a press conference you got to take them week to week like you sound like right that's how i feel as a fan no you don't she likes it she likes marcus jessica you have i want him to be successful i really do so i'm going to take it i want to see that guy on the sidelines as long as possible my
evaluation of him week by week i licked my tv screen i just licked it what else are you supposed to do like i can't project what's going to happen in week 12 dan it's only week two as notre marcus freeman is a symbol in a lot of ways an amazing story because brian kelly goes out and is now a villain in sports notre dame always a villain in sports gives a tough job and a good job to the young and possibly handsome man who looks like no one who's ever roamed that sideline for them before ty willingham would like a word did i do that right chris should not have that chest are those marcus freeman cups worthless now because he lost the game it's week two billy like this this may not define his legacy maybe it will we will see but we don't know anything yet it's week two they lost to marshalls
this is the game of thrones cersei walking down the streets episode yes there you go this hand in the back jess you are getting fart we don't need to talk about notre dame anymore if you don't want no i don't they're the ones who keep interrupting me yes they're at the center of all the conference talk they're the most valuable independent entity and when they were up at the half against ohio state the season and the hope felt a lot different than it does right now and the expectations going into that marshall game were different because they played well against ohio i think everybody's expectations are skewed because of the numbers next to the names and especially because of the the transfer portal era where teams can totally change their entire roster pretty much year to year we don't really have much of an idea who's really supposed to be good i know georgia is good outside of that i don't
know what to do with that alabama result is texas good is bayma not as good you got to let this season play out and that is not at all sometimes let the season play out as in don't fire people in week two i just said that but no one's talking over your mic and yelling at him your new coach is owen three well owen two to start the season yes but they know but they're he lost the ball game last year as well it was i i think like the 0-2 stat is bad enough you don't have to bring in a bowl game in which he didn't have any staff in place yet he didn't have a defensive coordinator two of their best players were already opted out for the nfl i don't really uh oklahoma state and they gave up a big lead it was bad but i don't necessarily think that like the owen two was bad enough without having to bring in a game that i kind of feel like iffy about yes i admit i was very confused by the first notre dame coach to start oh and three i
said wait a second they've only played two games how's that possible it's cause he's black there's a black tax on top of it dano see it's like oh and two and then you multiply that by one and a half or whatever now that's how you end up with three they're up 28 to seven in that bowl game yeah they absolutely should have won it they could not finish the game but i also like it was before he hired a staff it was like three weeks after he got the job and i don't think that that necessarily why did he coach against him why did he coach that guy why did he because brian kelly left because he was named the head coach like a couple weeks before he technically was the head he would have been the interim even if like brian even if he wasn't named permanent coach he probably would have coached the bowl game anyway well maybe not i mean if they had gone out to hire someone else he might not have stuck around he might
have gone with brian kelly to lsu he was getting offered that defensive coordinator job he might not have been there at all part of the reason that he was hired was that the timing of everything luke fickle was someone that a lot of notre dame fans thought that they might be interested in but he had a playoff team and so they'd have to wait over a month probably to get him to come to south bend and in college football which is why scott frost i think was fired yesterday the longer you wait the harder it is to recruit you don't have someone out on on the you know recruiting trail signing days pretty quick up after that so like it was kind of a gamble and then you assume if you don't promote marcus freeman a head coach you lose him entirely he'll probably go to lsu or somewhere else because he was very highly sought after defensive coordinator after last season could he have done the old i'm the head coach and i started head
coaching next year right now i'm recruiting i'm busy guys i can't coach the bowl game i've got to get this program in order no you can't do that you can't do it what are the players gonna like how do you do this is there any reason you're stuck here i mean on this on the coaching of a bowl game last year it's an interesting it's an interesting point you don't find it interesting we could talk about something else no i'm john i'm sorry no no you're just marshall you just got here and you you asking a lot of follow-up questions i'm curious about the path you're following on whether he should be owen two or o and three he's she's a wealth of information jess thanks the answer has been there the entire time fire al golden just come on over i think he's coming i'm right here i'm right here i will welcome you just just blame out golden just blame the defensive coordinator why are you there fire him
yeah just because he's in the building fire him i think maybe he will become the scapegoat however mike however the defense has been the better side of the ball so far come on the offense has really struggled the offensive line well you're not going to fire tommy reese are you have to fire him i'm not going to don't make you fire him yeah information fire who cares i thought tommy reese was pretty impressive last season i maybe did maybe jack cohn didn't get enough credit for being a competent quarterback at notre dame it's fire al golden i'm not going to fire al golden yet but if push comes to shove we will have to fire algae yeah there you got it but he hasn't earned a firing yet he has not earned a firing yet he's being fair wait why are we protecting tommy reece still we're protecting him yeah he's the next notre dame guy yeah
absolutely not you are so wrong about how the fan base feels about tommy reese it is very split because tommy reese has been a scapegoat for notre dame fans since he was the quarterback 10 years ago filling in forever golsan and coming in oh my god situations [ __ ] [ __ ] suspension remember that against against miami fans are very unsure about why there's a a 29 year old calling the plays and this and that as if like the entire trend in the nfl hasn't been higher younger and younger because the younger offensive minds are more creative and they're running innovative plays so far i i haven't watched the marshall game back i probably never will uh i think given the weapons their dream has that offense i don't know how much i can follow the sound on because that is a tough commentary team mike what's going on with your voice uh back to schools he's my daughter is that what that is also seven three to southern
miss oh wasn't it it wasn't the chugs no it wasn't the chugs mike ryan and jessica have done a very good job today of getting the conversation murky and distracting us from what like things what did i not just answer of all your questions it's just it's just an awkward transition by me to get to the toilet paper jessica just give me a second no yes because you've been able to help i don't know you went on vacation for a week nobody knew you were going on vacation i suspected that you were leaving to avoid the toilet paper and as with many things at meadowlark media hoping we would simply forget that everyone would forget that you've been away for a week since losing a bet where you have to eat three plies of toilet paper yeah and and i'll do it once i heal up because obviously um he sounds very horrible i sound very bad you don't want single play time why are you sitting next to me no no i'm good now
i'm good i'm good 7-3 southern miss is what he uh that's what he's afflicted with this is what chris collinsworth had too oh my god hey he battled what was going on there why did they just tell them hey but it's okay man there's a week too you have no one else the they don't have no they they just garrett you want to hear that again they can get chris sims on a private plane over if they want him i i actually think that they did really well that he did really well under the circumstances he kind of knew my voice is limited he probably said to the truck hey jack up my level a little bit yeah i'm just gonna talk normally and it'll sound i thought he actually did a really good job it was his costas pink eye game yep absolutely that was his jordan flu game that was when your instrument is going i have to manage it for these three hours tarico is giving him some [ __ ] i thought they played it off very
well you say it's his casa's pink eye game i say look at me louie oh my god an accusation has been made i can't believe it at chris collinsworth who was noble look at me oh i don't take days off even when i'm sick you know you got to go out there and fight this is the same thing as uh joe burrow sitting in his full uniform for an hour after the game's over because i'm so mad tyler van dyke is with his receivers at night long after the game take his money back the nfl started their week one with a bang of look at me louise everywhere they were like i've been hearing things about like nba coaches and no no no no no sit down we've got the market cornered on look at me louise what have you been hearing about nba coach what is what are you referencing you've been hearing things from nba coaches
uh i humbly apologize for having my uh holiday time scheduled in the calendar months in advance but i will eat the toilet paper i have a question about that i didn't tell you exactly how i was gonna do it though what with your butt peanut butter smoothie we're gonna blend it blend it blend toilet paper what did three plies consist of like if you do a double ply that counts as two i'm gonna go single ply single ply toilet paper three blender three sheets no no fold it like a pizza no no no i'm gonna get three single ply pieces of toilet paper i'm gonna get a chocolate shake i'm gonna blend it no what what oh no oh i'm sorry is that not good good enough yeah that's cheating oh yeah come on yeah that is it this is what you do this is what you do you make your chocolate milkshake on the side if you want to drown it no afterwards no you don't get to do them dry you don't need to do this it's
assuming i got to re-listen to the sound because you might have said like i'm going to take three pieces of ply and shove it in my mouth can you find the sound for me real quick can we find something look i've done plenty for this show i have done plenty for this show very recently when it came to paying up on bets i did this to myself i shouldn't have i could just say i'm not doing it i will do it i will do it you could say you're not doing it to me what are we doing here is it make me what what we have here dan levitar is anarchy yeah anarchist here yeah when everyone says whatever and then turn around and say you know what i am going to but there would be three plays there would be employment punishments there would be other all sorts of just because there will be punishments for you for making me toilet paper how dare you dan levitar you uh we've got the sound somewhere cut no because someone will find me the sound
and people can hear and i will have public opinion behind me because mike ryan trying to welch again on another bet mike ryan is uh i think we are watching sounds well also you can't say that term no no that's it it's yeah it's over did it yeah watching is offensive toilet paper who yeah in fact i'm not gonna do it because i'm offended on behalf of juice i don't know what i no it's not that's not the way it's not a that's not that's not where it comes from the sponsor of a juice i i don't know where it comes from no one no one in that room mike is just making [ __ ] off no it might be it says on google it's offensive sometimes offensive to me i'm offended people trying to get out of bets that's what's officially got it jessica help me out here it i don't i don't even know where the i don't know the origins of the phrase i'm looking for the origins all this guy right here has got you guys all running for the
hills mike ryan you sir are a fraud no i'm not yes you are i'm gonna eat three pies of toilet paper guess what put it in a milkshake you're not eating it you're drinking it there's a big difference in eating and drinking mmm if you threw the hamburger now you threw it in a bottle and did it with a spoon deep fry it eat it deep fried everything tastes better deep fried i'm kind of keto earlier in the week wait a minute aren't you guys all assuming when we made the bet it was three straight pieces you're like mike where's the sound somebody get me the sound of mike ryan so we could legislate in front of the people what was the bet about i don't even remember anything just said that mike norvell wasn't going to be brian kelly in the superdome and i was very surprised i found an origin by the way this is stories from bbc.com it says that the origins somewhat disputed but the terms first recorded
usage was in the 1860s in relation to a dispute over a horse racing bet being understood as to mean renegon payment of money owed as winnings uh in subsequent use it's become defined as free nagging a promise or agreement it notes that the phrase is quote sometimes considered offensive in view of the conjectured connection with welsh people no it's not what that sounds like a stretch and a half um well who are you to decide well i just want to like well you could do some listening and learning well first of all welsh is spelled with an s not a c well that is part of it's in this article that the spelling is disputed so that might be everything's disputed this whole article by the way this comes from the bbc we don't trust them what we don't trust i trust the bbc more than most what do you mean why don't we who's we and why don't we trust them we former colonies don't trust them that's right but wait a minute i'm
waving a smile no but bbc historic look journalism is a mess right now but bbc is more of a credible source right now than just about many going because of what a mess journalism is i get my news from a jeans press that's just me maybe i maybe i'm just a little different than that look at me louie jesus christ what a random accent pomposity not seen since the condescension of the pittsburgh i don't condescending what you mean joe pearl couldn't handle a little four interception game and his return back to the cincinnati stadium but that's on him because the steelers they did everything they could dan and they looked amazing well they they on defense they did chris they were one of the surprising teams of the week and i do want to get to who won game one we will get the sound of mike ryan and legislate this but i did like that peter king went and uh speaking of folksy frazies phrases he went to
trubisky and he said wait wait wait folksy phrases is cute let's use that instead all right speaking of folksy phrases uh he went to mitch trubisky and he said i guess the reports of the steelers demise have been greatly exaggerated and trubisky looked at him and said what's that mean i love it i love it let's go ahead and play that sound mike of you and see where i mean you can't do this in a blender mike that's so weak let me tell you something if mike norvell beats lsu in the superdome oh i will take out a roll of toilet paper and i will eat three plies i will eat three pounds of toilets all right i will tear off three individual in louisiana i don't see it happening that's just a order up it's just a saying where i grow up yeah he also just said he'd look into the camera when he ate it he didn't say he needed you know without ketchup or something thank you i'm just saying look you want to tear off three
three squares it's not ply ply is the level layers yeah the layers three squares of tissue paper and put on some sriracha man go at it i'm with it no i just want to see you dude that's just a saying where i come from i don't actually have to it's like eating cream huh where do you come from who won week one uh meadowlark media we're gonna have to call skipper if he's this insubordinate there's gonna have to be some penalty you're not gonna make me do this you're not you're not gonna make me even if it sucks human resource violations i don't think hr is ever gonna side with an employer making their employees stick toilet paper in their mouth you're disappointing your father rise up look at the camera your father is disappointed in you right now up how about mike eats the toilet paper after i cry you cry into the toilet paper and then i'll lose and then you'd be flavored literally eating your tears eating your
nose it's gonna be like 12 years of repressed feelings my good luck eating that let's do it i just felt like thanos did when he put the last stone into the glove you know eating someone's tears you're gonna be eating like all my high school breakups my mom's various health issues my grandpa dying oh another grandpa oh dark turn steelers losing in the playoffs as long as one of those tears is tragen baby's pick six i am good jessica have at it because i do think that maybe maybe josh allen won still gets to win week one even though he did it earlier in the week but the steelers i don't know where the surprise is rank for you guys houston colts tie please banish those teams eternally to help both of them to play that game great terrible i just i hate that game i hate you yes end in a tie and go 0-0 and 17 and get out of my life both of you i had so many parlays just contingent on colt's money line and got purged and the
chuggy ramifications and the survivor survivor pulls like right how many people got knocked out because that davis mills isn't going to be a quarterback that can tie you i've never leaked i've never seen a football weekend college included that was this hard to predict there's so many teams that were supposed to flatly win easily i mean i don't know was it hard to predict tony i mean on thursday we were telling you about home doggies home doggies i love you guys taking a victory like you guys were so sure the rams were being the bills that's both well called doggies though it was a home dog no but they weren't all this record they were both annoying last week muttering home dogs well and to be fair look whittingham wasn't just guessing there it's based on him listening to all of these pods that are telling naked all of these information pods that are telling you there there's going to be a
problem with misanalysis in week one because uh home dogs shouldn't be home dogs it's just that it's just the fact that like you go into week one who the hell wants to have their money on the texans and there's reasons why there are giant towers in las vegas that are worth many billions of dollars that's because nobody wants to bet on unders and nobody wants to bet on the texans and so what do you do you bet on the texans you bet on the falcons you bet on all you bet on the chicago bears moneyline yeah the the steelers all these underdogs that nobody by the way tonight tonight the seattle here's the thing about this this is the thing that happens right of course this is a funny thing i am a truly epically terrible gambler by any definition i just leak five percent all weekend and then every once in a while i go 1 and 13.
and it's just it's just hemorrhaging for years but you i'm betting the broncos because i can't because i can't bet the seahawks because i can't bet on gino smith i know of course you can i know what you can do do it put your money on marcus mariota and david smith you are correct my point is that in the enjoyment of the weekend since i know i'm gonna lose anyway i will not geno smith myself to money nope rather lose it with principle the lions by the way lions cover i know it was back door but guess what dan covers the cover good teams win great teams cover that is the only thing that kept mike and mina from 6-0 this weekend picking games was the detroit lions backdoor cover and i guess aj brown is that important because i was i was confused about why is everybody on philadelphia why why does everybody think that the eagles are going to come out of that division as the analysis now i don't know if you guys saw this but as
the cowboys lose last night it's just perfect that at the very end of whatever this sports argument culture is after the cowboys lose stephen a smith immediately goes to video and it's just laughing and skip bayless immediately goes to video and just pouts in a cowboy's jersey takes it off and then puts on a brady jersey and that's the analysis at the top of the food chain millions of dollars how many millions how many millions are they paying them how many millions just to put on a jersey i uh i did the uh home doggy thing with the dallas cowboys primed primetime home doggy and uh i should have known in fact i went as far as to say hey cause i'm gonna be at the cowboys game next week let's make sure to buy those tickets now because a 1-0 cowboys team against joe burrow that is going to be a hot ticket four interceptions from joe burrow and cooper rush later i am out thousands can i ask you guys though as a fun
experience because it really is uh obviously winning is the best thing in gambling but i'm telling you that in that league i've gotten so beaten down by that league that i basically very often and betting the thing i don't think is gonna happen because i'm just always wrong so i'm betting against what i actually think is going to happen and of course tonight seattle is an underdog because gino smith that's the reason russell wilson that's the analysis like that's that's where the betting money double revenge game is going but i ask you guys as a fun experience in gambling doesn't it hurt you to take the home dog because you don't actually want to take davis mills you don't want to be rooting for that uh well you know what it was it was real it was a real pain yesterday when i had a 20-3 lead yesterday in the texans i have them with seven points i'm like am i sure and matt ryan's going in to to go and score
once again goes to overtime i'm good but the falcons they have a 26 to 10 lead they should run it they're inside the 10-yard line marcus mariota has a dumb dumb fumble and the fact that i'm even sweating yeah you have to sweat it out until the final whistle because the team you have money on is bad it's a bad team rise up baby but guess what the atlanta falcons covered yeah you win that's all that matters and by the way we talked about this last thursday i mean and and we mentioned that the the money and the bets were in huge favor of denver and and since then a huge amount of money has come in on seattle i think when we talked about it it was 89 of the bets and 79 of the money was on denver that's down to 78 of the bets and 60 of the money is on denver money is coming in late on seattle why because we watched the games yesterday you say that and this is what i would say to you right because mike
was on the giants okay and this is why i will never bet the giants in that situation because when it's titan's 14 nothing i'm i'm like i knew it i knew it that that's why did i do that that's not what i thought was gonna happen and then of course saquon barkley uh kind of wins the weekend it was nice to see him running fast again and uh that team is pretty good giants when they're healthy they have weapons i don't know why they decide for cadarius tony to not be one of those weapons they just willingly like their most their second most dynamic player on offense they just don't play he got one touch in the fourth quarter 20 yards i have him on my fantasy team can you tell what did you have his over as well yesterday yeah yeah you sounded like a lot of cadarius tony props yesterday in the chat real quick here just because you mentioned al golden and it made me smile this weekend to see that either no
one told the poor southern miss coach he did not know how to dress but he decided in miami swamp heat to wear a white shirt dress shirt and tie with no undershirt that's what it is he's committed to a look oh my god noon at hard rock stadium be damned he's gonna look at me louie his shirt and tie mario cristobal used to do that at fiu for a long time he learned dude looked like he jumped in a pool it's hard to explain to people just how quickly he sopped through that shirt it was no longer white it was the color of his skin damp with a white shirt on it too bad he wasn't around on sunday they could have just thrown him on top of that grill fire it is so hot out there oh my god i felt your takes on this last week it is really hot out there and i as much as i want to jump on the miami hurricanes fans because this week you could actually do a real attendance controversy because that was super
disappointing a lot of the excuses for not going to the games are gone now miami is putting resources behind it to have that turnout noon jessica again southern laughing i just remembered so my friend same friend who doesn't watch college football we were watching football on saturday and she's like oh so why is miami stadium like 45 minutes away and i was like oh like don't get me started on this and she's and i was like why do you know that she's like oh i was watching a miami let's get ready uh tick-tock and she was saying that she gets ready and gets on the bus but no one goes to the game and i just was dying laughing because she had no idea why it was so funny yeah saturday was bad but also it's it like it's dangerous it's so dangerous look look you guys so hot you guys shouted me down last week on this man nobody wants to talk about this helpless hopeless climate change [ __ ] but no it's an unreasonable place to
play football for four quarters mike like it's just football is actually a lot safer than tailgating out there cars are exploding what was that what was that did you see that yeah we covered it i gotta go in there yeah that'll be great on 911 and walk into the cockpit and tell them hey can you hurry this up dan levitar needs me to be there on time for the audience i'm not sure why you had to invoke 9 11. because it was 9 11 when i was flying i think you need to apologize to everybody i'm not apologize i apologize for nothing apologize to the welsh for that joke
