America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters.

We get new medicines first nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home.

And not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

Imperically, this is the most improbable Super Bowl matchup

there has ever been, correct?

There have never been two teams at worse than 60 to one odds

to start a season playing in a Super Bowl.

The Pats were 80 to one before the season started.

Seattle was 60 to one before the season started.

I still don't trust the Patriots.

They're scheduled getting to play the dolphins, the jets,

and the minor league division of Carolina and Tampa Bay

and the Saints that that is a rare path to the Super Bowl

where you're in the Super Bowl and you haven't played anybody.

Or you've played teams that you're lucky to play against

because you're going to Denver and you're playing a quarterback

who does what Stidham did on that play.

And there's a chance that they go to the Super Bowl

and then Sam Darnel turns into a pumpkin again

and they go throughout the Super Bowl playing nobody.

But we should have known that the Seahawks were going to make it

because this is the third straight time

that when a new Pope was elected,

the Seahawks went to the Super Bowl as a number one seed.

I mean, the first Super Bowl that Patriots won,

Patriots Rams was crazy unlikely as well.

It was crazy unlikely, but that was the greatest show on turf.

Once we saw that season play out,

we didn't question Kurt Warner the entirety of the season,

the way we've been questioning Sam Darnel.

I don't think we can say that Sam Darnel

is going to turn into a pumpkin again.

I don't think that that's a reasonable expectation.

He just beat the only team he actually throws

the interceptions against over the last two years.

Well, and he was what?

The number three overall pick in the draft.

Like literally this is what he's supposed to be, right?

Right, just took him a decade to do it.

And five teams.

Aminel Hassan is there,

and he is ready to get to his weekend observations.

I also want to talk to him about an assortment of things

going on in basketball,

because the Yannis stuff is really interesting.

I just don't understand how the Bucks are that bad

with Yannis on their team.

It doesn't make any sense to me.

The team around them sucks.

Yeah, but still, like, I mean, if you have Yannis

throughout the course of history, if you have that player,

you're not seven games under 500.

You see their coaches?

Okay, we'll get to a minute second.

Yeah, he did get me.

He cornered me on that.

Is Doc there?

Is it too early on the West Coast for Doc to be there?

Is that too much of a test?

What do you say, Doc Rivers, to what it is that Zazlow

is saying where he got me because the Bucks have a bad coach?

Well, first of all, got to be on the show.

Last I checked, I'm on the top 15 coaches of all time list.

And Zaz is nowhere near the top 1,500 of radio hosts.

And he doesn't even rank as far as movie experts

or lovers of football either.

So I don't know what this guy's talking about.

Does Doc Rivers have any additions to our greatest football

movies list?

As a matter of fact, he does.

First of all, how can we not name the replacements?

Jean Hackman, as the old coach, Shane Falco, came back.

Doc's got a point.

Put it on the poll at Levitard show.

Is the replacements one of the top five movie football movies

of all time?

Are you an agreement with me that there have not been five

great football movies made throughout the history of cinema?

Oh, though, I disagree a whole harder than, first of all,

the slander by any given Sunday.

Wolf, oh, I mean, what are you guys talking about?

That's one of the great movies.

And also, two Americas.

None of you guys got the LLQJ, J.B. Fox fight, right?

What do you mean?

What, what, what's a J.B.s fault?

It wasn't.

Well, wait a minute.

Jeremy was just reading.

He was just reading straight from the internet.

What do you mean he didn't get it right?

What did he get?

Oh, oh, oh, reading straight from the internet.

Wouldn't that ever let anyone astray?

Red articles, not the AI.

Kristian O.M. has read some stilling things on the internet,

too, you know.

What did he get wrong?

That's fine.

You accused him of getting things wrong.

What did he get wrong?

Did I do this in my regular voice?

Yeah, I've been waiting for that since the first question.

Oh, God.

You guys kept asking Dr. Rivers questions.

I'm like, all right, I guess I got answers.

That's it, ask Dr. Rivers.

It is, it is.

Weirdly, he has Dr. Football movie question.

I don't know why he did that.

Boy, he's not coaching.

He's probably seeing probably home watching movies instead

of practicing.

What do you expect?

He's coaching.

He's playing golf.

Jamie and LLQJ are doing a scene.

And LLQJ is unnecessarily intense.

And Jamie doesn't know what's happening.

He's like, he's a really good actor.

I think he wants to kick my ass.

That's how it started.

Jamie didn't punch him first.

That's exactly what I said.

No, that's not what you said.

You said Jamie punched him in the back.

No, I said LLQJ back to back scenes

was being overly aggressive.

So Jamie Foxx ends up punching him.

And then LLQJ takes his helmet punches underneath,

knocks him out.

I said all of that word for word.

You said that, first of all, you said

that Jamie was aggressive.

Maybe you misread it or misbroken moment,

but you said Jamie was being aggressive.

Second of all, you said that Jamie punched first.

I think we should get bogged down in it.

Yeah, I think some more.

That'd be good.

Well, you guys asked.

Yeah, well, you brought it up first

and then it begged the follow up question

because you said somebody got something wrong.

And now here we are.

Time now for a means weekend observations.

Do them all as Doc Rivers' punishment?

Absolutely not.

It is time for me to share his game notes.

No one in the media will tell you what happened

better than my boy.

I mean, weekend observations is brought to you

by Miller Lite.

Legendary moments start with a light.

You know what?

I'll do that part in Docs was weekend observations

is brought to you by Miller Lite.

Legendary moments start with a light

and it's never Blake's phone.

Then the stage is set.

The card has been finalized.

And the last two teams that you gushed about

had celebrity correspondence for have been eliminated.

Now we have the rematch at Minakim's March on Lynch

and the entire Pacific Northwest have been aching for.

Don't need no check downs.

Super Bowl LX.

It's crazy to think that this is all made possible

by a former Jets bust and Luke May's little brother.

You guys remember Luke May?

Big shot.

Big man on campus.

North Carolina?

Luke May?

That was the guy.

Craig May.

His little brother.

Who's laughing now?

Jared Stidham.

Not to be confused with Jason Statham as Dan did last week.

Turned back into a pumpkin at around 6 p.m. Eastern.

The Lord's time zone.

I love people complaining about the snow impacting the game

as though it favored one side over the other.

They both played in the snow.

Also, I wore a jacket yesterday.

It was 68 degrees.

Oh, chilly.

You got to get that cold front down there?

We're going to get a little cold front on the weekends.

It's going to be 50.

Oh, nice.

Hey, can we talk about how the Rams lost to a team that

had barked from how high as our quarterback?

It's the part where the fixture comes out.

Did you give them a picture to put up?

Or are you just expecting?

No, I guessed.

I guessed that they would read my mind, Dan.

I know that.

Oh, he's probably going to mention bark from the eye.

There it is.

Oh, hey, go.

That's not not.

Yeah, it looks pretty good.

It's the plume of hair in the front

is something they both do well.

How high is the jaw?

The jaw also.

Puka and JSN.

A battle for the ages.

Puka and JSN.

Two names that make white liberals

uncomfortable for very different reasons.

Is he?

Is the nickname JSN because people

are afraid of saying his last name?

Is that a long name?

Aaron Andrews post game yesterday called him Jackson SN.

I didn't see that for real.

It's so strange.

I've never seen last name initial.

But to be scared of the Smith is also something that's

interesting.

Like think about it.

Loot about this way.

Have you ever heard anyone say JSS for Duju,

Smith Schuster?

No, we said it's a long name.

We said it.

And point the Dominic Cromart, Rodgers Cromarty.

We said that whole last name.

No, we used to say DRC.

Yeah, but JSS is actually a cool nickname.

JSN is just your cheat and then you're scared.

Do you remember when everyone was touching over?

Was it touching?

Do you remember when everyone was gushing over Tony Romo?

Peppridge farm remembers.

Oh, you guys couldn't get enough Tony Romo.

Oh, he's so small.

Oh, how did you know what play was?

Oh, Tony Romo's the best.

Oh, where have you been all my life, Tony now?

Everyone's like, oh, Tony Romo's sucks.

Tom Brady, he's awesome.

Give it a couple of years.

WrestleMania 13, Mike.

You'll hate him, too.

Is Fernando Mendoza's brother any good?

I'm asking, I need to know.

He runs.

Nobody knows.

He runs.

I mean, he entered the portal after his brother did something

and it can't be a clips.

I have no idea if he wants to get out of his brother's shadow

or he's no good.

I do know that there are thousands of people in the portal

who will never play again.

Where it is, he's going to Georgia Tech.

So that's why I'm one of them.

It's a good spot for him.

Cinefall, episode 297.

National Lampoon's Van Wilder.

Starring Ryan Reynolds, Terried, Calpin, Aaron Paul.

Bud from the Cosby Show and Tech from Real World Hawaii.

That movie was based off the real life exploits

of comedian Brett Kreischer.

Yeah, Tech from Real World Hawaii.

You guys remember?

Tag money.

Of course.

Yeah, Ruthie was my favorite on Who-O-O-O-O-O.

Ruthie was Tupac.

Do you remember those rumors?

The internet special.

He was.

Since his inception.

Oh, she needed it, just a little pandemic.

That was a wolf.

Calpin, Calpin took the role of a stereotypical Indian

because he learned if he didn't,

the role was going to go to a white actor and brown face.

Fun fact, then.

They hired him a dialect coach to perfect the Indian accent.

The dialect coach was a white woman.

Calpin, Speaks Gooderati.

She does not.

Imagine that.

Cinefall, wherever you get podcasts.

You guys remember when everyone was gushing

over the Oklahoma City Thunder?

Oh my god, it's the greatest team ever.

They're better than the Warriors were that won 73 games.

They lost to Toronto last night.

Zaz said they were going to win 80.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You guys see that when Ludo tried to block

Sandro Mamou-Kelishvili, and he landed on him,

it was nuts.

It was nuts.

That was nuts.

Got it, yeah.

Got that, the first.

I tried to flex by the way on Mamou's full name.

I didn't like that.

No.

I've said Mamou, I was worried that Dan was going to say,

man, who's playing basketball again?

And like, no.

Oh, Mamou, from what do you highlight or whatever?

Like, no, not that one, as I said, full name.

Try the audience.

Try to do it for the audience.

Can we talk about how the Rams lost to a team

that had Johnny Worthington III

from Monsters University as their quarterback?

There it is, video.

Yeah, there it is.

Tell me that John isn't hit.

It's the tough of hair.

Again, you're doing it with the tough of hair

instead of the jaw.

It's the jaw.

Zastinks, Mike McDonald has a little D.

When asked about it, McDonald Scott

has said, what a fool believes, what a fool believes.

I think Mike McDonald is right here.

I think I haven't heard Mike's Mike McDonald in a long time.

I've been work shopping.

Be ready next week.

Oh, really?

You're going to have an absolute bit.

We're healthy.

So good.

This is very exciting.

And the idea that we're going to break out,

Mike McDonald again, because he has a cool roof.

Ice storm causes game postponement.

Ah, shit, I misread that.

My bad, I should say ice storm troopers

call game postponement.

Let it sit.

Can we talk about how the Rams lost to a team

that had a human Lego as their quarterback?

Tell me that's not him.

It is him.

He needs a ginger hair, though.

We need to change the hair.

Can we color the hair?

Does the illustrator have colors on it?

Does it know the illustrator?

Just ask Edwin James.

Let me see if I can find that.

Do what now?

I hereby nominate Dan as NFL commissioner.

We'll fix a sport with two words, Dan.

Game seven.

Oh my god.

Can you imagine a game seven in the Super Bowl?

Oh my god.

The ratings would be like $8 billion.

How many people are on Earth?

That's how many people do you want to see?

Game seven.

The last thing for two months.

Who would object?

You know what?

Everyone will be injured by the end of it.

Yeah, I mean, we just saw a conference championship game

where Jared stood in through the ball backwards.

Like that one said that got the Patriots in the Super Bowl

because they didn't comment in quarterback.

This is starting his fifth game ever through the ball backward.

Dan thinks the Rams are the better team.

When Mike McDonald heard that, he shook his head

in disappointment and said, I keep forgetting.

We're not in love anymore.

I can't do the voices.

No, you cannot.

Okay, okay, no, I can't do that.

Don't keep, don't get in.

Do we need any more proof that Zazz is neither a football guy

nor a movie guy?

You smirching any given Sunday?

You have to be ashamed of yourself.

Your face.

Yeah, here's a note that I already gave away.

The show's never been wider than getting the Jamie Foxe

Ella who they fight details completely wrong.

Here's the science, a bar rescue podcast.

We break down episodes of bar rescue with Chelsea Reynolds,

a restaurant bar consultant.

Colin Casser, the commissioner of kitchen

and food truck veteran.

You want to try that again?

Well said.

Colin Casser, a commercial kitchen and food truck veteran.

March is one of those months where we talk about

celebrating women and it's very, very deserved.

Because when you actually look around a lot of women

in our lives are carrying a ton of work, family relationships,

expectations, nobody notices or sees.

I start thinking about the women around me, my wife,

my mom, my sister, my friends, my coworkers,

people who somehow take care of everybody else

while still trying to hold it together themselves.

And it's a ton to carry.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan,

and I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang

that you have with your friends.

Maybe it's an NBA game.

You get a tax, hey, come over, you want to watch the game

and maybe you're like, ah, I don't know.

I kind of just wanted to stay home

and then you think about it.

After your buddy hits you up

and you know just the thing that'll make

that regular hang, that regular midweek hang

around the basketball game

into a special time, into a Miller time.

That's right, this happened to me just last week.

I grabbed a six pack of Miller light,

said I was on my way,

and next thing you know, we're arguing about rotations

like we're on the coaching staff,

yelling about a miss call,

and the games coming down in the final possession.

There's one of those nights that you look around,

you take a sip and you think, yeah,

this was the right call,

and my friendship's stronger for it.

Don Lebatard.

Chris Cody does an impression, just be careful.

Dangerous game here.

This is a dangerous game.

I don't want to play this game.

No, you were saying, man, I could do such a great game.

Oh, I don't want to play this game.

He's like, man, I can talk to him.

This is who we're gonna go.

This is who we're gonna trust.

I mean, you do it.

Let's let a mean do it, I think.

Still gots.

I think you could do it, Chris,

because you did a great Charles Barkley.

You're one for one there.

Did no one just hear the segment we just did with the mean.

We cannot be taking judgment.

It's not the best.

From the local drunk on whether or not you should do

the impersonation of a black man stumbling over his words.

Like you don't see the bad.

Charles Barkley.

And there was Moses Moody.

Moody Moses Moody.

Moses Moody.

Did you need that?

It sounds worse.

Chris, get careful, man.

We got it.

Like we cannot do this.

It's too close to the line.

This is where the line is.

Something legitimately funny can't be funny

because we're scared our ginger's gonna do something

racist by accident.

Where are the hell on, Dan?

Rachel.

Dan, the line is where we feel alive, though.

This is the Dalabatar show with the stugats.

I watch the Mel Brooks documentary of my dad yesterday.

Judd Afatow makes good documentaries.

I assume that that's excellent.

It's excellent.

It's excellent because Mel Brooks has

an uncommon amount of archival footage throughout history,

going back to him working with Sid Caesar.

And it reminded me a lot of, for different reasons,

but in that way, of the Motown documentary,

I don't know if you ever saw that one, Hitzville.

It's incredible.

It's on Paramount Plus, I think.

But what made it so great was it had archival footage

of everything, including the Jackson Five audition.

They had that in the Hitzville documentary.

But the Mel Brooks one was incredible.

And they talk a lot about him walking the line

in terms of comedy, in terms of being kind of subversive,

particularly with blazing saddles.

They asked whether it could be made today.

I don't even think it could be made back then.

It's just because Mel Brooks was a genius.

And Mel Brooks had a writer's room that had, obviously,

Richard Pryor in there.

And Richard Pryor was the one that was pushing for some

of the language because he said, Mel,

people don't know.

And you need to, you have the opportunity

to let mainstream America know, hey, yeah.

People are saying the end word left and right.

Like these kind of racist things that are being said

in the movie for fun and for last

are also kind of a reflection of what society is.

And so then I think you'd really enjoyed.

It's an incredible two-part documentary.

And I had a lot of fun.

And my dad was a huge Mel Brooks.

I love the book.

The book is exhaustive.

It's very, it's a thick book.

But he tells the story among others

of watching Sid Caesar on the original television.

Like that Mel Brooks is so old that he was there

for the advent of the first television.

Sid Caesar told him, I got you a job.

We're working in this thing called television.

But he literally had to introduce the concept of TV to him

in order to tell him, hey, come work with me.

I also did not know this Mel Brooks World War II veteran.

So when he does springtime for Hitler and the producers,

when he does all these kind of jokes about Nazis or whatever,

there was, at the time, people were very outraged

to say even though Mel Brooks is very outspoken

and proud of his Jewish heritage,

it's a bad look to be making these kind of jokes.

And it's like, the dude was literally going through mind fields

to make sure that these German minds weren't just going off.

And killing allied soldiers.

So I think once you hit that level of like, yeah,

I'm about this life.

You can joke about whatever you want.

We'll get to basketball stuff with a mean in a second.

But Zazel, what did I see you so excitedly sending

to the video department here a second ago

while a mean was doing his weekend observation?

Well, I think Greg Cody is going to be in studio tomorrow,

right?

He's here on Tuesdays, yeah.

Okay, well, it sounds like he's going to have something

to say to you, all right?

Because on the latest episode of the Greg Cody show

featuring Greg Cody, they put out, they put out

like a quick teaser on Twitter.

Give this a listen.

I know Levitard very well.

I know when he's serious.

We're having 10 conversation.

I know when he's serious and when he's not,

he was serious.

Well, what's that about?

Oh, man, I don't have any idea what he's upset about.

Does anyone give me any context for that?

Could be anything.

It really could be, couldn't it?

Yeah, let's you picture.

It could be anything.

Mike Ryan has seen how unreasonably mad

Greg Cody gets about some things.

We cannot predict when and why he gets mad about things.

I legitimately have no idea what that's about.

I was headed Saturday to the library

to go and see what he and Ron McGill were doing

and then I got sick and couldn't get over there to support.

Maybe that's what's about.

But I don't have the library, the bar,

or the library.

No, he was doing something with Ron McGill

for their new book as he continues to grift off of Ron McGill

at the library of the bar or at the library of the library.

There's, I actually saw a picture of this.

I took the material today and there's a picture

in the elevator of the, you know, the poster.

There was one that I thought I saw devil horns

on somebody drew on Greg Cody.

I had to go double check in one of the elevators.

Does no one know what he's mad at me about?

Can someone ask his son?

Does anyone know the whereabouts of his son?

Can someone get me some information?

Because no one's told me anything.

I guess we'll find out together tomorrow

when he gets here.

There's some good teases though

that he put out apparently for this new episode

of Greg Cody show featuring Greg Cody.

He took a horse racing quiz with Clark Spencer.

All right, there's that.

He also auditioned for Mike B. Monter's job

as new PA of the Miami Heat.

Obviously, you know, he had words for you.

He just played it right there.

And, and apparently, Greg was asked

if his opinion of me has evolved

after working with me now.

They're interesting.

Okay, not surprised that Zazlow would find himself

interesting.

So, I mean, can you please tell us

what you make of the Yanis situation in Milwaukee?

And do you believe that Doc Rivers is among the,

not do you believe do you agree?

Cause I know you don't agree.

Can you believe that Doc Rivers is among the top 15

coaches of all time in anybody's list of the top,

anybody's list of the top 15 coaches,

including Docs.

Look, the Yanis stuff is incredible

because he's been giving these quotes all season long.

Just left and right.

And, you know, me and, and George Sedano years ago

came up with this line describing LeBron.

He said LeBron doesn't leave bread crumbs.

He leaves whole loaves of bread, you know,

in the sense that he's, he's passive aggressive,

but not, not good.

Like, he's just so obvious and blunt with it.

Yanis is leaving bakeries behind.

He had a game where he, he said his teammates were selfish

and said, ah, you know, in the past,

I've had teammates who understood the gravity

that I bring to the game, but apparently,

that's not the case anymore.

He had the quote about how his agent is his old man.

He said, I don't, I don't, I'm not responsible for anything.

He says he's the old man, but he works for me.

He's like, what does that mean?

And then the latest one, which is, he gets hurt,

you know, he pulls that calf, which has been bothering him.

And after the game, and I, and I talked to Jim Ososki

of the Milwaukee Journal Center, and he says,

this guy never talks, never talks about injuries.

He comes out to the game and says, yeah, I pulled my calf.

We're, we're gonna do an MRI.

When we do the MRI, they're gonna show that my,

my salonious or whatever has been pulled.

And it's gonna take about four to six weeks of recovery.

But during that time, the team can stay within striking,

he's like, given us a whole prognosis,

I'm like, what are you doing, buddy?

I, I think this is the honestest,

coy way of like saying, hey, this isn't my fault.

Everything that's happening,

but he still doesn't want to do the thing,

which I think all of us think, you just come out and do it

and say, hey, man, thanks for the memories.

I want to get traded.

I mean, does the injury now, four to six weeks calf injury,

we know that that's like, that's the, the bugaboo term now

in the NBA is a calf injury.

Does this affect his potential trade market in February?

Not one bit.

Not one bit.

Anyone who's in the market for Yannis out of the Kumpo

is in the market for Yannis out of the Kumpo.

They don't care about him missing the next four to six weeks.

They are there for it.

And whether that's the Miami Heat, the New York Knicks,

any of the Toronto Raptors or another one that's been listed,

like they're all, they're ready to go.

What's holding it all up is Milwaukee apparently

is still saying, we don't know.

Well, let's see if we can make a deal here

around the periphery.

Maybe we can turn Kyle Kuzman or something.

And they're still playing this game of chicken

where they're like, we don't want to trade them.

And Yannis is like, we don't, I don't want to ask to get traded.

So we're just going to pretend that this thing

is going to work somehow.

I have not looked recently.

They were 18 and 25 and then they lost against Denver at home.

It doesn't even have Yokeish.

They're truly terrible.

And I know that Kyle Kuzman, Miles Turner

is not good roster construction.

But if I told you before the season,

if I put Yannis on any team in the sport,

am I going to have more than 18 victories

at this point in the season?

Wouldn't you have said yes?

Yeah, I mean, if you said that 18 victories,

the first thing I'd ask is like, well,

Yannis healthy.

And he hasn't been healthy, right?

He has missed games.

I think he's only played 30 games this year.

And then many of those games have occurred

with a minutes restriction.

So like those two things do inform a little better

why the record is as bad as it is.

But it's still worse than what we would believe

even under those circumstances.

But then I remember, do you remember Charles Barclay

in Philadelphia?

Like how could he be that great and that team be that bad?

Man, it's a team sport.

No matter how good a player is at the end of the day,

you have to have competent infrastructure.

And that includes teammates and that includes coaching

and that includes everything.

I mean, teams like Miami are going to just put

all their chips to center the table and say here,

take whatever you want in order to acquire Yannis.

But he's going to be 32 this year.

He's dealing with a calf injury now.

He's been kind of injury riddled.

Like, should any teams kind of be worried about that?

Yeah, like he has a history of being durable.

He's going through some stuff right now.

It happens.

Nobody's perfect.

I mean, Yokich has been a durable guy.

And now he's been out for a considerable amount

of time with an injury.

So I don't put him in the same class as, you know,

when we were talking a couple of weeks ago about John,

Anthony Davis, and those guys,

I've reached a point where it's like, you think twice.

With Yannis, you take that risk because again,

he has been durable and when he's played,

he's been just as stellar as he's always been.

I mean, good seeing you.

Thank you for making the time.

Thank you for pulling out the dock rivers earlier

than ever.

It's very hard.

Yeah, it's very hard to get out of bed

and do the dock rivers.

Thank you, sir.

Get out of bed.

I have to take my kids to school.

I'm not.

I've been out of bed for like three hours now.

Okay, I just thought maybe perhaps I would give you

some credit for the fact that you did something tough.

Never mind, I take it back.

See you later.

Well, you did do this, though.

Colin Casser, the Commissioner of Vick Kitchen

and Food Truck Veteran.

Not because he was tired.

He was ready to go.

He took his kids school.

And yeah, been awake for hours, totally rip-roaring.

Thank you, I mean, good talking to you.

That's not fatigue.

I'm not gonna believe it all fatigue.

I just bespoke.

It happens.

Yes, it does.

What you're excused, Levitard?

I'm speaking four hours a day, not 15 minutes.

See you later.

I speak four hours a day, too.

You hear how many pockets I plugged in, I think?

What's that, excuse?

People always talk about New Year's resolutions.

You know, eat better, work out more, et cetera, et cetera.

We might still be early in 2026,

but I'm sure most of you have already broken your resolutions.

Me, I'm still going.

My resolutions are simple, be comfortable,

especially at the ring.

If you know me, you know that hockey isn't just something

I watch, it's something I live.

Late nights, cold arenas, long playoff runs,

you only feel the light.

And if your socks aren't right, you feel it badly.

That's why I've been rocking Bombas Sports socks.

The cushioned exactly where you needed.

Sweat wicking, supporter.

Basically built for movement.

Whether I'm at the game, skating a little myself

or pacing around during overtime

like I somehow affect the outcome,

they keep me locked in uncomfortable.

And when I finally get home to break down everything

that happened on the ice,

Bombas has the everyday stuff too.

Slippers, teas, underwear, all ridiculously soft.

Don Libertard.

I want to address Tony and all men

who would wear that shirt in public.

Stoogats.

Don't do it.

This is the Don Libertard show with the Stoogats.

So I mentioned that the Patriots were 80 to 1 odds

before the season started and then they lost to the Raiders at home.

I think that they were pointing out during the game yesterday.

They were saying, do you realize that this game is in Denver

because the Patriots lost to the Raiders at home?

Tony has been wondering if the Patriots are going to be the first team

to win the Super Bowl without beating anybody.

Without beating anybody, I'm telling you, if we look at Sam Darnold

and I don't think it's going to happen,

but there's an outside chance.

What if Sam Darnold just completely implodes under the lights

and then all of a sudden the Patriots go from a dumpster fire team?

And I saw this step, by the way, on Twitter.

I don't remember who it was, but I want to give them credit, but I can't.

So since December 21st, the Patriots have one more games

than the Tennessee Titans have since they fired Mike Variable.

Oh, that's off rip.

I don't remember who it was.

Thank you for that stat.

But the Patriots might just go the entire season with beating up on everybody

and anybody and then do it in the Super Bowl.

Why don't you just take credit for that stat?

Who cares?

Because I'm not that kind of guy.

I'm not a sucker like you.

It was Jamie Eisner.

Thank you, Jamie.

We should give credit.

Thank you, Tony, for trying it.

The credit was, I read it basically perfectly after seeing it for one second.

No, you did.

It's pretty perfect.

Thank you for trying the least possible amount to credit someone,

which is more than Zazlow gave.

Would you, why the, you're just going to leave, okay?

That's the, the Pete right there.

So wait a minute.

He's just, he's tough.

He's self-reporting.

Okay, very good.

So he's just, he's just gay.

That's right.

Walt Chasse on over there.

Minor penalty, two minutes, four leaking confidence.

Head on over to that sucker room.

Boy, Zazlow taunting you for mis-speaking.

Yeah.

Zazlow's had the last 10 bars, the last 10 days that he has had.

Roy, get for me, please.

The, the assortment of library sound that we have of Zazlow just

screwing things up over the last one.

This guy's calling you a sucker, Tony.

Get a load of this.

I don't think it is fair to think after that particular game

being less than 24 hours removed from that particular game

to say that Sam Darnold is again going to turn into a pumpkin.

Like, you can't, at this point, correct?

You can't question that Sam Darnold is not afraid of big moments

when the only team that intercepts him and causes him problems.

Cushula is the defensive coordinator

that has given Sam Darnold the most problems

to see Sam Darnold outplay Matthew Stafford.

When Matthew Stafford has an all-time game,

and Matthew Stafford has a game that a quarterback never has

and loses, I don't think it's fair anymore after that game.

Never mind 24 hours.

I don't think it's fair anymore to question whether Sam Darnold

can play in big game.

Unless he totally throws up all over himself in the Super Bowl.

I mean, but then how would you explain

what just happened if he...

No, but if he goes from playing well,

playing really, really well,

which is what he just did,

to throwing up all over himself in the Super Bowl,

that has to be considered a choke then.

What do you think makes Jets fans angrier?

The Patriots in the Super Bowl or Sam Darnold in the Super Bowl

when he was their top five pick?

He was the starting point on a traveling path

through four other teams,

and the Jets thought they had a quarterback.

They had hope when Sam Darnold came in and looked the part

and it speaks to what Mike Ryan is saying

about losing organizations

are gonna take everyone down with them.

I think the Jets fan is more mad

at the Patriots being in the Super Bowl

because I feel like the Jets fan is self-aware, actually.

It's self-aware enough to know

we're the shittiest organization.

So of course we couldn't make it work

with this really good quarterback.

I think they're more angry at the Patriots are back.

Well, especially because I think there were people

that thought the Jets would be better than the Patriots this year.

Like people were looking at that Patriots roster

and saying like, oh, they're not gonna be very good.

Who are their receivers?

Like, yeah, sure, they brought in Diggs,

but what are you gonna do?

The Jets being as abysmal as they are still,

like as Adolphin's fan,

watching the Patriots continue to do what they do

is more frustrating.

And if Darnold had left the Jets

and immediately gone to the Super Bowl with the next team,

maybe we're having a different conversation,

but with so many stops in between,

you could be a Panthers fan, you could be a Niners fan,

you could be a Viking fan,

you're also frustrated by Darnold.

Yeah, Jets I think are off the hook

because of all the teams that you mentioned there.

If anything, you turn your attention to Minnesota

and be like, yeah, that's probably not the greatest goal.

What about Carolina?

But the thing is, Minnesota is the only franchise

that had Sam Darnold consistently be good for them.

Like, they saw it by out.

They were 14 and three.

They were really good last season

and they made the decision to go with the rookie.

And of all the franchises that Sam Darnold

is left in his wake,

Minnesota is really the only one that said,

yeah, we saw this guy deliver.

100% because then you look at what they have in JJ McCarthy

and it's like, who would you rather have?

Who would you rather have?

Who would you rather have?

Who would you have what have?

I did that on purpose.

You did?

No, you did it on the fly.

It's okay.

No, you got it.

That's the joke.

Oh my god.

That's what I was saying.

No, you didn't kick me out first.

You have to show.

You have to do that.

Hey, sometimes you can say that bowing off me.

No, it was the part of the joke

because I said, yeah.

I said, whether the first time,

like an absolute idiot.

All right.

So how do you feel about being criticized

for your speech by this guy?

Or you should note.

It's a fool.

It's a joke.

That's not even one of the ones

that we had from the library last week.

How do you feel about being criticized

for your speech by this guy?

I mean, how could I get out to it?

Who didn't see that coming?

I mean, that's fine.

Let's play on.

That's Zaz being Zaz.

That's him starting to cook.

Roy, how have you not found the three from last week

that we have been playing as we've

been filibustering for a good three minutes

trying to allow you to find these three sounds from last week?

Well, there's no border for these things.

They're not labeled, and I'm just creating excuses.

So you don't have it?

You still don't have it?

You're still looking for it.

You still can't find it.

They were never saved in the, in the jane.

Search bear lose.

Bear lose.

Yes, okay.

Search weapons.

There's a litany of them that Zazlow can just be

searched and not speak.

I just put the word Zazlow in there.

You know, you would think that would be it.

Yeah, boy.

This is bad.

You want to put it right there?

I don't take it.

Yeah, I'm going to, I don't want to,

I already got your.

The B!

I self-reported.

You told me that if I self-reported,

I was okay.

The Packers winner, the bear lose, bear's lose.

There you go.

It is?

What saved?

That guy sings things you speak like a sucker.

The Packers winner, the bear lose, bear's lose.

Who are you a fool in front of there?

Diana was seen.

The Packers winner, the bear lose, bear's lose.

Put it on the pole, please, at Levitard.

Show, who would you weather be, Tony or Zaz?

The Packers winner, the bear lose, bear's lose.

How about a 38 year old coach, Mike McDonald,

who is being, you know, backpedaling the entire game

with Matthew Stafford.

I'm going to say it again.

He had, at one point, 13 completions for 265 yards.

Yeah, that's small piece.

The number one defense.

Sounds like a big D to me.

How do you feel about Mike McDonald's?

I think I should capitalize the D

and make it even larger than you normally capitalize it.

What?

I think, I think today,

I think based on what I'm about to say, okay?

Mike McDonald's name and graphics forever more

should have the D seven times as large

as all the other letters in his name

because he's sitting there with Stafford.

Fourth and goal.

And he says, you know what?

I'm going to throw it this guy who's played 17 years

in the league and can't be fooled by anything.

I'm going to have 70 linemen online.

And then I'm only going to rush two of them

and I'm going to drop everyone into coverage.

And you know what he's going to do?

He's going to stand there and he's going to tap his foot.

He's going to see like I'm going to throw a Ferguson

all time in the game for the first time in the game,

even though he's totally covered.

Like he's in the middle of the field.

There's no one in the middle of the field.

Oh, it's just an amoeba defense of why are the deal?

Why do the defensive linemen have their back to me?

They're all running every receiver's double covered.

And he's like, oh, it was like walking into a dark kitchen

at night that's filled with cockroaches

and you turn on the light and then just everyone scatters

in every direction.

And staffers like I got poop over here.

I've got Devonte Adams over here.

I've got an assortment of tight ends,

not named Ferguson that I get thrown to.

Let me throw to a guy who's just totally covered

in the middle of the end zone.

No pass interference.

I can't believe that that's the defense

that he went with in that situation.

And I can't believe that the Rams lost that game

when they were driving that way at the end.

Again, great situationally.

And on top of that, Matthew suffered 0 for 7

on 3rd or 4th down.

Like that's playing great situation

with footballs of defense.

0 for 7 while Darnold was doing what he was doing

on not just 3rd and 4th down, but 3rd and long.

Like that, that's the thing that Seattle kept doing

to the Rams defense.

And I don't think it's being talked about enough

just the calamitous decline of the Rams defense

over the second half of the season.

I've been surprised that you guys don't have more

of a reaction to over the last nine games.

The Rams allowed scoring on 40% of the plays.

That's dreadful.

It's why they were 5 and 3 down the stretch

and why the Seahawks were 8 and 0 down the stretch.

Do you give the Patriots any credit

for being 9 and 0 in road games this season?

Unbeaten.

They lost to the Raiders at home to open the season.

They lost 20 to 10 and then won all of their road games.

So I've thrown out a few things on the show today.

I wonder if this has ever happened.

I wonder if this ever happened.

Has the team ever won the Super Bowl

in a season where they lost to the team

with the number one overall pick?

Whoa.

Did you just surprise yourself with that

while you were pointing around the four?

I'm certain.

I'm certain.

I'm certain.

It's probably happened.

You're throwing out, you're basically just saying

Google this for me.

You haven't been the same since you're threatened Barubi.

I have a certain glow to me, right?

I mean, this is someone who's very confident.

Yeah, that was a good moment for you.

I know, right?

Today's show.

I'm projecting a lot of confidence here.

You've had a good show.

Craig Barubi.

I'm not sure he meant to do that Elmer Fud thing.

What's he doing?

I did.

I absolutely did.

It's okay if he didn't.

But no, I know.

But I did.

That was the whole point.

Because I said, Wather, like an idiot.

And then I was like, you know what would be funny again

if I say it again.

No one believes you.

Just one example, the Green Bay Packers

that won the Super Bowl lost to the Carolina Panthers

that year who ultimately drafted Kim Newton.

You pointed with such convictions

if you were making a good point

and then redundantly pointed.

Put it on the pole.

Would you Wather be considered unfunny or a liar?
