This is the Dan Levatore Show with the Stugats podcast. Going to do a couple of different things this hour. Before we bring in Ron McGill, I want to tell you the Good Follow, that is MetalArk's premier podcast covering women's sports. It's going to evolve a little bit. Things change, people grow, and sometimes very talented people go and get new shiny things. Roz Gold on Wu Day, stepping away from the show to pursue other endeavors. We love Roz. She'll be around. But Jujugadi and Trista are taking the wheel of good follow. They are two voices who get it, two voices who care. They've got great chemistry. They're going to argue with each other. They make you uncomfortable in the right ways, and they tell the truth about women's sports and its players in the way it deserves to be told. They're the new hosts of Good Follow every Thursday on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast. This week, Juju is sitting down with WMBA champion, the MV fee, Nafisa Collier. That's going to be coming up later this hour. Also, We're going to have, if you missed our live stream, it was a great success.
We really enjoyed it. We're going to have some clips so that you could relive some of our favorite things from Monday night. But Ron McGill is with us now, and I want to tell you that he's bringing Sex and the Animals out of retirement on Valentine's Day, 07: 00 PM at Zoom, Miami. It's an annual event, Sex and the Animals, or it used to be, and he's bringing it back. Valentine's Day, $100 for singles, $175 for couples. That's open bar and food from Wild Fork. There are VIP options as well. His presentation is always a smash, and it starts at 08: 00 PM. Go to zoomiami. Com if you want more information. Ron, thank you for being on with us. We always miss you. I want to show you. I want to start here with a video of a gorilla breaking its glass encasement here. What are your thoughts on this video? How common is this, and what's happening here exactly? Well, let's see. I see the glass. I still don't see the gorilla. You're talking about the crack in the glass? Yeah. Yeah, that's not terribly uncommon. Understand that that's not one piece of glass.
That's layers of glass, and that's designed to crack in various ways. It's not going to break. That's not something that was ever present, the danger of the grill actually escaping that glass is made to do that under extreme forces, and that's exactly what happened there. It's rare that even a crack occurs, but the crack should not make people think, Oh, my God, it's going to get out, because it's not even close to that. But what is happening Why is the gorilla doing that? Well, I think what happened was the gorilla was basically challenging the person. It could be just announcing territory. These gorillas react different ways to different people. It could be a jealousy thing. It could be that the gorilla liked a young lady that was on the other side of the glass, and the guy might have put his arm around her and he got jealous. That happens quite a bit. What the heck is that? That is Will Farrell, Cowbell Skit from SNL there. I'm surprised you didn't recognize it. Also, his trusty companion, Christopher Caminando is here. Got a cock of the walk, baby. I got it. Okay. Take a little more of Tony.
I don't know about the other one, though. Tell us what's happening in this video here, Ron. I have not seen quite this many dolphin doing this before? Are they being chased by something? Are they just fooling around and playing because they're playful creatures? I know that they're big schools, but I have not seen quite this many together. What is happening here? Yeah, that's just a large pod moving along. I've seen actually larger than that, with literally thousands of them, depending on the species of dolphin or porpoise. It's not an uncommon thing. It's just great when somebody happens to be there to see it. But this is something that goes on around the oceans all the time. Like I've seen, I've seen pods of more than a thousand doing that. We've got more dolphin video for you as well here because you can't get enough dolphin video. This dolphin is being chased by an orca, and it finds a unique safe space. This is less common, right? Yeah, that's a mistake. That was a mistake. That was not something that the dolphin intended to do. I got to be honest with you, Dan, I would also question as to whether that is AI or not.
Really? You don't think that's real? That could very possibly be AI. Ron, how heavy is a dolphin like that? Hundreds of pounds. Hundreds of pounds. Let's I want to see this again. I want to see the hands. It just stopped moving. Do what now? Pay attention to their hands. I don't know. I don't think that's AI. And wouldn't a dolphin be that terrified if it was being chased by an orca? It could be. Yes, it could be. That's definitely AI. Watch the way that the dolphin jumps out of the water. Dan, first of all, the fact that the dolphin is now still on the boat and that flapping like crazy. I was going to say it just stops. It just stops, okay? There's just something... Forgive me for being such a skeptic, but the AI that I've been seeing lately is so good, so incredible. The fact that that dolphin is just laying there not doing anything, and the fact that you got this guy who's still got the... Putting the camera on there, not backing up at all. You think a guy holding a camera would just do that? No, that dolphin is going, everybody's backing up.
The camera doesn't even jolt. Come on, Dan. Come on. I'm sorry. I'm a sucker. I get fooled easily by the internet. I thought that shark was on the flooded highway of Texas that one time. Oh, my God. This guy, this Will Farrell guy, he needs some help. Yeah, I I agree. Let's look at this video here. There's a lion, I think, that's refusing to play with his brothers. Is this real? That could be real. That could definitely be real. Could? Yeah. Now, that could be real. It's going to be a long way. I'm a little hesitant by looking at the fence that's supposed to be containing these lions. It's a bit of a weak-looking fence there. I don't know about that. But that could be real. These animals will do that. But I would expect almost a fight to enter it. Lions of that size, of that age, big don't usually play like these guys are playing. They're beyond the playing stage. So I'm surprised there isn't a fight. Let's stay- We're so cooked. Let's stay-I don't know what- No, no. This is a reputable IG page. I follow them. Okay. Like I said, That could be real.
It could be real. Thanks for the approval, Fourth rail. Oh, no. You know what? I need less cowbell, baby. Get this guy out of here. Get less cowbell. Okay, you know what? You're right. I do think we need to get rid of him. That's about enough Chow Bell. That skid is how many years old? 20 years old? Minor penalty, two minutes. Delay of show. I got a fever. See you, baby. That's my word. Ron, what are you doing this weekend with the Book Fair? Yeah, me and Cody, we're going to be talking about Pride of the Lion at the big Miami Dade Public Library in the main library branch. We're going to be talking about Pride of the Lion, showing the whole images that led up to that story, telling the story from the heart. It's going to be a lot of fun. And it's free, man. You guys should go. I'm about to see me just to see Cody. Come on. Cody's going to be there. He's going to be there probably with a drink, having a good time. That is always probable, Greg Cody with a drink. Not enough time with you, Ron, but we do have to get to this other stuff, so we will talk to you again next week.
But Zoom Miami is where you go if you want to be a part of his Valentine's Day extravaganza, it always sells out. I would urge you to do that as quickly as possible. More than a wild fork, we're going to also have Golden Rule Now, Apocalypse Barbecue. Let's go. Come on. Those are major staples of the community, baby. Let's go. Absolutely, baby. And that's all included in your product open bar. All you can eat with those guys. Come on. On Valentine's Day, you're never going to find a better deal, not to mention the show where you're going to see huge penises. Oh, okay. That'd be the silence. I got it. All right. I crossed the line. Got it. Now, there you go. That's the look. Got it. Okay. But you should be- Talk a lot, baby. Guys, let me tell One of the greatest joys of my life was when they finally opened a White Castle in my neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona. I lost my mind because I'm so used to eating White Castle at home when I was in New York. Now I can have it all the time. I'm in Phoenix. But when I come to Miami, there's no White Castle.
You know what I do? Go to the freezer aisle because right there, they got the variety pack with all the great White Castle flavor in there. You're getting a lot of Slider styles. You're getting classic American cheese, you're getting jalapeno cheese. If you're a bacon lover, you're getting that new Chedder Bacon Cheese Sliders. The classic cheese gives you all the taste of a great American burger, while jalapeno cheese sliders give us a serving of spicy to each bite. The new Chetter Bacon Cheese, that literally brings home the bacon, folks, with real pieces of bacon in Chedder-flaved cheese. Guys, I know what you're thinking. Your mouth is water. My mouth is watering just reading this. That's completely normal. You can find each of these sliders where? In the grocery store, in the freezer aisle. Bonus, they're all in the same box. You don't even have to go to the food box. No, it's one variety box. It's got them all in it. Perfect for game day, late nights, or anytime you just want something awesomely, oniony, satisfying, steamy, and unapologetically cheesy. White Castle. Crave thy Castle. And sports, championships aren't one alone, the one with the right people around you.

I wasn't quite prepared for titties. This is the Don Levatard show with the Stugats. I love it. Don't we all have to admire this? It's a little cookey, but still. This is good shit. National title on the line. I'll let you know in a few seconds. Foot on the Gas. This is good shit. They circled Bane. Oh, his love. Love it. He'll be dropped. He got it. Get in there for that now. Oh my God. Get in there for that now. That's one of the greatest- That's the Heisman winner. Championship gameplays I've ever seen. That was insane. That might be-What a call and what a run. That is his play of the season if that ends up being the difference in the title. That's bigger than the Penn State throw.
First time he used-What a nails run. First time he used his legs all game. Does he have a rush in this game? Does he have a rush in this game? Yeah, I think he had two before this. What a play by Fernando. Nails. Taking the shot at the four and taking it into the end zone. Two, fourth, and five conversions. That's bad. Good for Coach Sig, man. That's badass. It really is. Happy MLK Day. Thank you. Same to you, buddy. I mean, it's your holiday. I should congratulate you, white man. Next question. Enjoy the chat. What? I was trying to start a thing, Dan, and nobody got on board with me. Everyone puts up their fours in the fourth quarter. All the quarters matter. You got to throw your twos up, you got to throw your threes up, and the game starts, throw your ones up. Maybe second quarter matters, too, don't it? I put my two up. It's a good point. I didn't know what it is that you were doing. I thought you were giving me the peace sign after threatening to fight me in the street. I will fight you in the street.
It might have been a chance when you would have gave me a hard time. I think it's an easy win these days. Well, but I just don't think it's right to wish you a happy Martin Luther King Day, and then you say you're going to react to that with violence. That seems the opposite of what his message was. No, no, no. His message was he would not resort to violence. I, however, am capable of doing such a thing because it's patronizing and condescending. Martin Luther King Day is an appreciation that white people started acting right. It's not an appreciation of me. I mean, black people always acting right. It was you all that was being ridiculous. So congratulations, white people, for acting right. Well, Never mind. Throw your twos up. Second quarter, baby. Throw your twos up. Thank you, Roy. I appreciate it. I see you, Dan. You try to sneak in that, too, on the side. Yeah, you try to sneak that, too, When you're doing it, you want to make sure that we know that you down. All right, throw your twos up, Dan. I'm just holding up my headset, which is hard to keep near my ear with this Cuban hat that Tony bought me.
Sure. I know. Somebody in the YouTube chat said, Dan, get up and get your folks to twirl, man. Come on. You look like an accountant at a resort. Don't I look like somebody from White Lotus? You do. Absolutely. Like you look at the blue notice. The blue Lotus. Hey, the Kibana fees aren't adding up, everyone. I want a cabana fee, someone stealing cabana time. I have to go to the bathroom. Don't take the glasses off. Get the full shot of my boy, man. Yeah, full screen. Do it your own. Yeah, give it your own. Scott Hansen would just go, Dan. He would just go. He was carrying that glass out of there. There he is. He got shoes in the shot. You are my mother's favorite actor. It makes me uncomfortable how she talks about you and how she looks at you. My wife's, too. My father is here. He is filled with with rage, jealousy, and a very difficult journalism question for you. Papi, what do you have for Andy García? Andy. Nice talking to you, bud, even though you are my enemy now. Andy, tell me about your first kiss. My first kiss?
Wow. Yeah, your first kiss. I think that was in grade school. It was in grade school. I think we were playing spin the bottle. Spin the bottle, huh? All right, Papi, thank you. Andy, it's good seeing you. Thank you for making the time for us. I appreciate the highly intellectual questions that come from your dad. See you later. I call you off guard. See you later, Andy. Thank you, sir. We appreciate it. All right. All the best, fellows. Yes. The part that I didn't tell Andy is that I had to rush him off the phone because Mike Ryan has made himself available available from the stadium. Mike, how are you feeling right now about how everything's going? I've been surprised that Miami can't get any part of its running game going. I think we just lost Mike. Did we lose Mike? He's back. He's back, Jack. Ask him again. What are your thoughts, Mike, on the first half? They're kicking our ass. It's bad. I don't feel great about it. They're dominating us right now. They're all over our offense's ass. I feel like I'm in hell. They They're as good as advertised. Need to stop this first after the kickoff here.
You're in a lot of trouble of the Hoosier's drive to start the third quarter. Yeah. If we got to stop, I'll get into it. But They're on our ass right now. It's pretty bad. No real reason for hope. And thankfully, the universe ended thousands of years ago, and we're just sitting in its echo. I don't know. Does Jamel have a routing interest what it is that we're presently watching? She, like me, grew up with these canes being bad boys in Miami and running Florida football. What is your routing interest? And hello, Jamel. It's nice to see you. Nice to see you, too, Dan. Actually, I'm struggling because how can I turn this into a racial element? I'm really figuring... I'm trying to figure out, how can I make this about race? Because that's what I do. There's a part of me that feels like I'm weirdly rooting for white supremacy by rooting for Indiana because of the bastion of the KKK that has been there. But at the same time, it's like, I love the fact that there is this team. What is happening on the show right now? What in the warm toe, Sink the Bizmark, is happening on this program?
The grand Wizard used to live 20 miles up the road from Bloomington, Indiana, when I was there in Martinville. Sink the Bizmark, what is going on? Listen, I'm only here to bring I'm not here. Are you kidding me? I'm going to find the element of race in it to become a poster card that will make this show go viral in a way it doesn't mean to be. I appreciate you bringing us back to the eating of the warm toe. I didn't understand that reference. No, I'm guessing it's some racial thing. What is that reference? Can you translate that? I would rather eat... I wasn't sure whether you said a hot toe or a hot toad. No, I said toe as in Yeah, like a foot. Rather than Root for Michigan, I would literally rather... I would rather have a warm toe taco than Root for Michigan. That's how much I hate it. Did you enjoy the Michigan, the recent Michigan coaching scandal? Because of how you hate me. Did I? Are you kidding me? I loved it. This was amazing. What? It was like, shenanigans at the university that always likes the Lord is a moral superior inferiority over everybody else.
I absolutely loved it, especially considering, I don't know if you know this, Dan, but I'm sure you do. We had been in our own little conundrum when it came to coaches engaging in a bit of misconduct, not to make light of it, but they had all those Mel Tucker jokes. It felt really good to remind that other university that you're not above it. Still haven't explained the warm toe thing. Yeah, that's true. That That just popped in my head. That was literally off the cuff. You made that up. I'm going to use that phrase every day for the rest of my life. I thought there was a profound historic meaning in the detail. I thought this was about... It wasn't Swahili, I promise you. I thought we were going to get a civil rights lesson here tonight. Zazlo, what are your thoughts so far? Oh, my God. I might throw up this fourth floor. I might puke. I'm so nervous. It is so on, Dan. Do it. I It was looking terrible. And then Mark Fletcher was your boy, and now Malakai Tony is your boy. Let's punch this in. Come on. Throw up. No, I don't want to throw up.
Throw up is one of the worst things you could do. I'd be so embarrassed if everybody saw me throw up. Are you in the press box? Would you be throwing up in the press box? Where are you? No. I'm watching the game from the platform where Game Day does their show. But they got up because their halftime over. So I watch from the platform. I'm a man of people. I don't watch with those stuffy a-holes in the press box. No, I watch on the platform where I'm amongst my people. I got to be able to feel the game, Dan. I want to feel it. What has surprised you so far in this game, Zaz? That there was cheating. I mean, three times I counted pass interference, and the referees don't call it, and then they're calling bullshit against the game. So it's a little bit surprised that in plain sight that there's cheating. Why would they do that? This is a huge play here. The hurricanes have failed twice on third and short situation. I know what happened. I know what happened. I won't spoil it for you. Oh, you're ahead of us. Okay. Yeah, nice.
I am at the game. I am here. Ten on the play clock. Let's go! What a play clock. That was easy, man. That was easy. That was an easy one right there. Oh, sorry. I got just walked out. He's back. He's back, baby. I'm sorry. Here comes Popy. Here comes Popy to play the drum. Here's Popy. Get that come out of there. Sorry, I just... He did it again. Zazla, what surprised you in this game? I already told you that the cheating was so blatant. So Zaz, what are you surprised by in the game so far? If I really had to think about it, I'm surprised that it's cheating. They're just so blatant about it. Are they being subtle about it? No. I wish they would. At least right high to the little bit. Like a hot toe. Oh, he's right. Oh, he's right. We are back. We are back. How many timeouts did? Three timeouts. Three timeouts. Here comes Gons. There comes Gons. All the timeouts. The Bons. Let's go, Bobby. Two minutes and 41 seconds down that field, man. That's a hell of a drive. I said they couldn't do that quickly. We are back.
They had-91 yards. Outside of the Fletcher play, they had their longest plays all on that drive. Worrisome. God looks nervous over there. Tony. How we living? You know what's playing? Trick Daddy in the background. Canes are not out, baby. It's unlicensed. With a little pure gasoline. Stop saying what songs are playing. Like that kid with a false start. I'm a Biels fan. It's He'll never let it go, ever. Did Roy just whisper an interception's coming up? That's how it usually works. That's the way he screamed it. Why did you do that? Because that's how it usually works. It sounds so right. I hate it. No timeouts, length of the field. It is a lot of time, but that last drive that Miami had was... It went against everything else that was happening in the game. All of a sudden, you had receivers running open down the field. At least we have a lot of timeouts. Hey, I can't have that. What's up, guys? What's up, guys? Go ahead, Tony. What do you got? Why would Roy say that? Why would Roy say that? I don't know. No, he's doing the reverse change. He's borderline evil.
No, no, no. Okay, listen, you guys are a little bit ahead of us. I'm taking on my headphones. You guys can put me in picture to see what happens on a delay. I'm sick right now. I don't even want to talk. I'm done. This is a big drive. This is a big drive. Is it? Okay. Put it on the poll I'll put it on the poll, Juju. Is it good analysis that Tony just said, This is a big drive? I don't think any of us will ever forget Roy saying that there was going to be an interception by Carson Beck on this drive. You haven't said that much during this live stream. What an odd thing for you to choose to say. I forgot already. Thank you for reminding me. Miami will not forget, Roy. Mike will never forgive you if it's... It's called reverse psychology, man. Jeez. Come on, Carson. Come on, Carson. We got Sam Barcelli. Fifteen seconds on the play clock. 14, 13. Oh, there it is. Oh, my God. See? The Indiana Hoosiers are the national champions of college football. I've been a Hoosier's fan for many decades now, many decades, and I'm thrilled for my pals who are in the stadium and spread all over football America rejoicing decades and decades.
Who could have ever imagined something like this happening? Coach Signetti, for somebody from Pittsburgh, this makes it an extra thrill for me. Coach Sig, the prodigal son. Well, I wish you were. I wish you could go back and coach the Pittsburgh Steelers as his next act, but I will take this. I don't know what next year looks like. People who study the NIL portal say that the Hoosiers may well be even better next year than they were this year. That's hard to imagine because I think you can make a case, at least, that this is the greatest college football team for one season that we've ever seen. And to the cynics, I will say this. They beat Oregon by double digits twice. Oregon lost to no other football teams this football season. They destroyed iconic Alabama in the iconic Rose Bowl. They beat Ohio State, the number one team in the land up to that point. Also unblemished until they faced the Indiana Hoosiers in the Big Ten Championship. And for the cherry on top. They beat Miami in Miami to claim a national championship, not in basketball, in football. I'm over the moon. I don't have any ability to...
Okay, well, I feel that Keith Smart shot in 1987 against Syracuse was great, but I wasn't an Indiana University student at that point, so it didn't mean anything to me. This is the greatest moment in Indiana Hoosier's sports history. Now, can I extend that in my own life to one of the greatest things I've ever seen in sports?

Who don't like Blues clothes, If you don't like Blues Clues, you're a loser. Stugats. Look, you get one pop print, that's the first clue. You put it in a notebook. Now, what do you do? Blues Clues, Blues Clues. Sit on the chair and think about it. This is the Dan Leventhal Show with the Stugats. Welcome to the Good Follow Show. I am your host, Juju Godi, and today I'm joined by her. H, E, R, big fee, MV We're going to be phenomenal. Ms. Nafisa Kaya. How are you doing, my sister? Hello. I'm good. How are you doing? Man, I'm doing pretty regular. Man, I'm just trying to keep the lows from lowing and the highs in my sights.
You all broke the internet this week. I know you all don't like to break it this way, but you all broke the internet this week. So I want to put me in the mind of Nafisa Collier when she sees her hour teammate going against her pro-teammate during the actual game. I'm just like, I hope nobody gets hurt because they're both my teammates. I love both of them. And so it's like seeing your siblings or something fight. You can't really take sides. I just hope nobody gets hurt. Right, for sure. We definitely know that Maria... Maria fly a little... She go a little high at times. She got a reputation of one of the big dolls in the lead. And Courtney, man, I'm on back down. To me, Courtney means everything. So I'm from Southeast Georgia, and Courtney is also from Southeast Georgia, and so she could do no wrong. I don't care what she does. I'm behind her 100 %. How has it been with the phenomenon of the stud buzz? You know what I mean? And all the attention that comes with that during the season. It's amazing. I mean, you know Courtney, too.
It's like, they are not putting on for cameras. This is just who they are. There just happens to be a camera there. And so to have that type of energy around you every single day is so fun. There could not be two more perfect people to be on TV and to be TV personalities. So I'm so happy for them and for their success. And the fact that it's coming just based purely on their personalities and how awesome they are, I think it's just amazing. I support them so much. When you came to Atlanta, you rocked the stud bud chain, and I was like, Here they go. You know what I mean? Number one team and the number one swag. You can't help but deal with it. But Let's get to your current teammates right now. Hoody-hoo. You feel me? If you're out there. My sister right now, I call her Air Beck. You dig? How does it feel playing with my sister from down? It's super cool. I mean, obviously, I'm so disappointed I didn't get to actually play with my team this year because there's people that I was really looking forward to playing with.
And Beck was one of them. I just think she, one, is such a great defender. We always put her on the toughest matchup on the other side. And two, just her ability to both hit shots and then get downhill. She's so long, and so she's just super versatile for us. So it's fun to watch. Moving on next to the big doll. You know what I mean? One-on-one last year was between you and my sister, Alia Edwards, man. How is she as a teammate? She's awesome. She's the one I'm most disappointed I didn't get to play with just because I just see so much potential in her. And as one post player to the other, it's really fun to be in this stage of my career where I'm a little bit more seasoned and I can start mentoring people. And so I was really looking forward to be to do that. But she is such a sponge, so open and willing to learn, which is always really fun to be around. She's obviously so talented. She's put us on her back multiple times already during the season. But I just think she has... So there's even more that can come from her.
So it's fun. The scariest person as a fan to even run up against, to even ever play with, to comment something from the sidelines that she can hear. I don't want her to hear me. It's Skyler Dicken She's as scary as she seems? Queen Skyler Diggens. You dig. Yeah. Honestly, yes. And that's what I love so much about Skyler, is she means business, and I love that. I like to be her teammate with it, for Sure, instead of being on the other side. But she just has so many one-liners, too. She always just hits with all her things and whatever point she's trying to make. And she backs it up. She'll say these things, and I know 100 % she means it. So it's really fun to be able to be on Skyler's team and win from her and to play with her last year. Moving on to Timmy. Big Timmy, not the little one. In fact, been late. How is this, man? She's awesome. I actually got to play with her my rookie year in the W. She's on Minnesota, so I knew her a little bit from there. But super grateful that Timmy was able to come on our team and help us.
She's also a pretty versatile big where she's really long, really agile, moves very quickly. And so she's definitely what we needed to help complete our team. And the Rates went from everywhere on the court. The Rates, man, how is it with the fun Rates? Rates, people don't know how fun Rates is, bro. Oh my gosh, yeah. Rates on social media, she's so crazy, bro. How is it playing with Rates? I mean, the best. Rachel is one of my best friends, and just her personality. To know Rachel is to love her. There's not a person I know that doesn't like Rachel. So it's so fun that we get to be on the same team and play with each other again. And I obviously just love watching her play, She's such a knock-down shooter, so it's really fun to watch that. And last but not least, you already know, man. Marina. Big Marina, man. Marina Mabry. How does it feel being her teammate versus her adversary? I definitely same as Skyla, I like being on this side, being her teammate. But it's awesome. I mean, to be able to see... You don't see the behind-the-scenes part of people very often.
You only see them on the court. So to get to know people's personalities, I really, really like Marina. I think she's another someone who's sneaky funny. She's coming out more with her TikToks. She's got more personality more, but I really enjoy getting to know her. And then obviously, she's a huge part of our team, too. My favorite dynamic on the team is her and Alia and the pick and roll. I think their connection is so fun to watch, and they've gotten really good at that really fast. So yeah, as a whole, I really like my team. Do you agree with the Internet now? The Internet is calling you all Team Crash Out. Yeah, 100 %. You agree? We're Team We're all Team Crash Out. We got three starters. We need to get some T-shirts. We need to get some T-shirts with that on it with the Ours logo, Team Crash Out, coming to a theater near you. Right now, online, I don't know if you've seen it recently, But it's a trend of 2016 coming back into play. People bragging on what they were doing in 2016. Our team of staffers found out what you was doing in 2016.
I mean, video team, run this video. Oh, wow. Put me in the mind of Nafisa call you. No, I'll cut it off before I get in there. Oh, no. Running Man Challenge, man. How was it back then? Well, I can't dance, so that's why I scoot in frame, and then I scoot out of frame. So my time on there is short. Speaking of them, man, Gino got them girls rolling yet again. When did this brother ever stop? When is he going to be regular? It's Sarah Strong, A-Z the squad. They are ready to champ, you dig? So how proud does it make you as a part of that illustrious alumni? You did. How proud does it make you to see them still thriving? So proud. There's just such a rich history. And I think we are all bonded in such a unique way because Coach and City had been there for 40 years. One program has had 40 years of players come through. And so that bonds us because we all have similar experiences because we've all had the same coach. So it really is such as sisterhood. And so I feel that connection to any team that is there.
And it's also especially fun to watch when they're rolling, like you're saying right now. They are the best in the country. They won last year. They're doing great this year. Again, they have some really star power players. So I always love when my Huskies are doing well. Yes, sir. And look, I already know how it be. You went from being a high school phenomenon to on the Yukon Huskies, where you got to earn your keep. You know what I mean? You got to submit your place in Gino's army. So how does that transition feel like? How was it going from, Man, my damn near my poop don't stink, versus, Oh, no, I'm back as a private in the army of Gino. Yeah, it's hard. Freshman year is really hard, and they make it their way on purpose. Coach has said in interviews, he breaks the freshman down to build them in the way that he wants them to be, like the Yukon image. And that breakdown process is just brutal. It's really hard. But if you can get through it, and the people who survive there for four years, there's a reason there's so many Yukon players in the league.
The way that he teaches basketball IQ, the system, like you can work... Like Yukon players can work with any type of players, any type of personalities. I think we do that really well. We work in any type of system because he taught us that way. And so it is a really hard, brutal training process, like you said. But, man, if you get through, you're set up for life. It's now time for the DraftKings' Pick of the Week, presented by DraftKings. This week, I've got my eyes again. On the vinyl. And my players to watch, man, are damn near all of them. Take your eyes out your head, place them on the TV screen. Just stick them there. They're sticky. I don't know if you notice, your eyes are sticky. Take your eyes out, place them on the TV, watch everybody. Because everybody in this game, it's going to be crazy. We got the vinyl versus the Phantom, man. Everybody on these squads, I love from the bottom of my damn heart. You feel me? It's going to be hard for me to pick a winner in this specific game, but I'm picking a vinyl. Come on, man.
You got to know, man. I'm locked in on Tiffany Hayes, though. She's my favorite player in the history of the world, and I'm definitely locked in on Ryan Howard. I don't know how much we're going to keep of this right here. We might cut a lot of this out, but I'm just going to ramble and tell you how much I love the Phantom. Tiffany Hayes and Tasha Cloud. I run through a while for them right now. No questions asked. This is non-negotiable. It's happening. I'm running through that brick while. The Vinyl, Courtney Williams, Ryan Howard. I'm expecting big sparks, big flames, big crashes, car crashes all game. But ultimately, I'm picking the vinyls. The vinyl, it's not plural, to get the dub. And this segment is presented by DraftKings. Still, I'm rambling three days later, and this ramble is presented by DraftKings. Lock it in. The crown is yours.
