Transcript of The Greatest Left-Handed QBs Of All-Time | Hour 3

You are listening to the Dan Levitan Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports App, now live in all 50 states.

For the uninitiated, Dave Damashek does an exceptional football show for us every week, and it is more often during the football season. The football season kind of starts tonight. With the Hall of Fame game, and the name of the show is Football America. And Damashek is very good on all things football. So I want to ask him a couple of questions here. Stefon Diggs just signed with the Commanders, one year, $12 million. I thought that this was still a number one receiver. I thought he was perfectly serviceable for the Patriots, that they were weak at wide receiver, but not necessarily because of him. And Stefon Diggs says, I'm better than all the number twos out there. Like, so he still thinks he's a number one but isn't being paid like it. And this is very much a prove-it deal with the Commanders. He didn't have a lot of choices. Uh, that can be worth $12 million. It might not be worth $12 million. What are your thoughts there?

I think a lot of guys play well with a chip on their shoulder, and Stefan Diggs, long into his career as he is, maybe is extra motivated here. You saw the benefit that he provided to Drake Maye a year ago. I would expect much of the same for Jayden Daniels. And it's weird in what have you done for me lately, league? How much are predictions and assumptions about what's about to happen are based around some sense of amnesia? People have forgotten about Jayden Daniels entirely because he was hurt last year. He played in the title game. He, he almost became the first rookie quarterback to ever get to a Super Bowl. He's gonna be good.

He—

the, the big question with him is, is he Lamar Jackson 2.0? As in, can he keep himself healthy for the long haul. So far, not so good. Obviously has missed half of his NFL career.

Is the RG3 2.0, right? Especially with the same franchise. You're looking at a guy who had an incredible rookie season, then the next year got hurt. Like, this is the make-it-or-break-it year for Jayden Daniels.

But what about the Commanders' skill guys? Because Deebo Samuel was supposed to be something there, and he might have been if their quarterback had been healthy. And now they've got good skill guys. Your thoughts in general that on The Commanders trying to catch up to the Eagles when they— it felt like they were on the cusp of passing the Eagles. And because we get that forgetful half a season has made it so that everyone has fallen asleep on Washington. Those skilled guys in Washington, your thoughts on where it is you put them in the league?

Well, I try to compare them with the neighborhood that, that they inhabit. And by the way, the Eagles deserve to get the bulk of your attention, but don't sleep on— I know this is a crazy thing to say, but I like America's Allegiant team quite a bit this year. If they have a halfway competent defense, they are a factor in the NFC, which is top-heavy this year. To your question about the Commandantes from Washington, D.C., um, I, uh, I— it's all about Jayden Daniels being able to recapture— for them to be relevant, at least— to be able to risk notwithstanding to be able to be a factor with his legs as much as he is with his arm like he was in his rookie season.

But you haven't mentioned their skill guys. You're talking about just their quarterback. I'm asking you about specifically the wide receivers that he has, the running back, the tight end.

Are you—

Stefon Diggs seems to me like a luxury for them, and, and, and it seems to me a good gamble for them as well.

Yeah, because of The— I don't think that they're loaded up compared to the rest of the neighborhood. So I think that Diggs is— it gives them a chance at least of, of being a factor. Yeah, Tony.

I mean, we talked about it on Football America last episode. It was like that Washington for me is one of the teams that I don't think is going to make the playoffs. I think they're third in their division. I think they're a little bit, a little bit ahead of the Giants. But if you look at their skill guys, I probably have them fourth in the NFC East, right? Like, I like the Giants skill guys better. I like the Eagles skill guys better and I like the Cowboys skill guys better.

So how does this work, though, when you do this with the Giants? You guys expect these guys to come off of injury and just be exactly the same as they were before the injury? Like, those are—

You're talking about Nabers specifically?

Well, no, and Scadaboo. I'm talking about they've got two guys there who are coming off of monster injuries and you're just sitting there and you're slotting them like ahead of Washington when I feel like people sleep on McLaren. Like, I don't think that they think that he's as good as I think he is.

I think people get over their skis about the notion of a true number one. You hear a great deal of talk about that. Maybe, maybe the last couple of years have disproven this to some extent, but if you go through the 25 years worth of, of pro football evidence, evidence we have this century, there is not necessarily a connection between having that dominant number one clear-cut and making Super Bowl runs. Really, until Tyreek Hill won the Super Bowl, there was zero evidence of it. You know, Randy Moss never won a Super Bowl. T.O., Antonio Brown—

Well, but last year's champion had the number one of all the number ones, did they not?

Yeah, but, but, but, but that, like I say, in the last couple of years, maybe things have changed a little bit in that regard. But up until the last couple of years, there was no, you know, Cooper Kupp was the best player in football the year that the Rams won their Super Bowl. That was the next chip. But, but, but yeah, I don't think it's an essential ingredient to a Super Bowl contender. Last year, Jackson Smith-Njigba was the best wide receiver in football, as Dan Lepitar just said.

Steve Martin also.

Such a good point. We want to really hammer it home.

The, the thing that he's mentioning, though, that I think is something for all the football coverage that we get, the question I'm about to ask you guys is something that is really unusual in that he just mentioned Cooper Kupp, who had Did he have a 2,000-yard season? Triple Crown, also JSN. Uh, yeah, him too, as well.

He had a great season last year.

Yeah, he was pretty good.

Yeah, I yelled the F-word back here when the mic turned off.

I, I noticed that the group was laughing at the fact that you weren't listening.

In fact, let me do this.

Uh, oh, come on, I was so helpful for the Comandantes.

You were, yes, and congratulations for doing your job. Uh, minor penalty, 2 minutes for not listening to the show.

That's fair. I like Chiqui Okonkwo too, their new tight end.

Uh, thank you for saying that, that's fair, that You weren't listening to the show after you repeated something.

I'll accept it.

No, I'll accept it. Thank you for accepting your penalty.

But what I was saying about the Rams, this part, we cover this league a lot. So you had Cooper Kupp, which was shocking enough, okay, to see a white wide receiver be somebody who's in the 2,000-yard range. But then they lose him and replace him and they got another number one when those are hard to get. And so it sort of makes me wonder, oh, can they just make those because they've got the coach and the quarterback?

Can they—

are they so good at drafting that they can just replace You had a guy who came out of nowhere. I think we can all agree, a guy who came out of nowhere to lead the league, not just in receiving yards, but in an unfathomable number of receiving yards. Oh, he's gone? Let me take Puka Nacua and just put him in there, and he's gonna be every bit as good as the number one you just had. Give me all the examples of replacing Randy Moss with Randy Moss. It's not that easy to do. So I ask you, our football expert, the question of Is that something the Rams can just do because they've got the MVP at quarterback and they've got that coach?

Boy, that's a great question. Is it circumstantial? Would Puka Nacua, in other words, could you transfer him to a different situation and see anything close to these results? That's basically the question.

Well, Cooper Kupp left and then wasn't that in Seattle, and he got older.

And the other thing they do, right, this is probably not covered enough.

They ask an awful lot of their receivers physically in all parts of the game. And so they are using those bodies in a way that's going to make them expire faster than you might expect, and in some instances going to send Puka to rehab because I don't know how he's self-medicating.

The way he plays football is dangerous even by football standards.

Well, it also begs the question, you say, how did the Rams figure out that Puka Nacua was, was a factor? Well, they didn't, or else they would have taken him much higher in the draft. It begs the question, how did that— how, with the obsession that we have about studying student athletes.

How do—

you know, maybe in 1962 it was a different story. How do guys slip through the cracks at this point with the obsession that we have collectively about evaluating their tape? How did Nakua just miss? Did everybody in the Rams— did miss much like the Patriots who get a lot of credit for not missing on Tom Brady. Well, they took him in the 6th round.

Well, because it's not science, it's just probabilities, and a million different things go into making someone successful, as Amin can tell you. In basketball, it's a little easier. Easier with the measurables, I would say. But I am sure, uh, that Amin would have a number of examples of someone physically that he thought couldn't miss who ended up missing, because there are so many things that go into being great, including mental strength required to just handle wherever it is that some of these guys can't be fragile or sensitive.

Yeah, Jeremy just said a great one back here— Michael Beasley. He was prototypical NBA player, especially for where the game was going. Multi-talented, could play inside, could play outside, could score in a variety of ways. We talked about this a couple of weeks ago. If you went around and asked NBA players who graduated high school between 2006 to 2009 who was the best player they'd ever seen, all of them would say Michael Beasley. He was the guy. And I'm talking about Kevin Durant and Kevin Love and all those guys are like, Michael Beasley's the guy. And it just didn't work out for him because, you know, he just could not adjust to professional life. He had been—

but that's the opposite though. That— those are fascinating cases as well. I'm— but those are sort of attributable, like, well, no one knew he was on the purple drank, no one knew he was chugging NyQuil, that's why he didn't make it on the professional level. It's weirder, as I say, given how much we look at these guys, that Nakua who is a 6'5", 220 guy. But, you know, he wasn't playing in the middle of nowhere. He was playing at a major college.

Where was Gronk drafted? Like, that one seems obvious in retrospect, but where was Gronk taken? How many picks were taken before the best tight end in the history, the most unstoppable tight end?

Second round, 42nd overall.

Oh, not a bad guess from Moldave though, right? I said 35.

He had 60 from Otto Graham too.

Speaking of which, thank you for doing that. Thank you for bringing us back to Otto Graham. Can you guys, in honor of Dave Dameshek, the return of football, the return of football America, let's go through some black and white photos here of old quarterbacks. This is a time here before the face mask. Or this— you can see that the guy from that Pistons triad is chasing Otto Graham there in the background, that Otto Graham is not wearing a face mask.

That's a quarterback? He's not even built like a quarterback.

Uh, number 60. Yes, he's got the face that you can see of some vigorous running, but I just want to keep going through Dave Dameshek's time and just sort of quiz him on some of these quarterbacks here.

Well, I want to quiz you, Dan. What's worse? What do you think is the more annoying person to talk to about football? The person who insists, um, that, uh, that when they make a list of The great— well, the first one is when they say "of all time," when they're really talking about people that they've seen. When they say, "Here's the greatest receivers of all time," and it's guys from the last 17 years.

Roy, do me a favor, please cut up how it is that he started to just grab the steering wheel of the show.

I deserve it.

No, but of course.

Thank you for accepting the fact.

Good on you.

Accountability.

Yes, Commandante.

Thank you for accepting the fact that you were wildly incompetent in expression when we're in the communication business.

Shadow Commandante. Rayos, settle. No es flaco. Dan Levitar. Adi, dadi, dadi, doli, doli, oh.

Dan Levitar.

Jessica thinks you're pathetic. I saw the look on her face. It can never be the lane to victory, Matt.

No, I think Jeremy's pathetic. Jeremy just—

You should hear him back here.

He's so sad.

Delivered the most absurd theater kid basketball analysis line that I've ever heard from him.

Jeremy, touché.

My dad was talking about the adjustments that Bo made and criticizing him last night. And Jeremy, just back here, his adjustments were spectacular. It's just like they lost. They're down 0-2.

This is the Dan Levatar Show.

I was asking you about number 14 and the single bar that he had on his face here in this black and white honoring of Dave Dameshek's love of the old guys.

You decided to take the steering wheel.

You didn't take the lob that Amin lobbed you before on Cinephile because you just wanted to ask me a question.

And I'm trying to keep you here doing the show that we're doing.

Yeah.

The single-bar face mask that this quarterback is wearing. I don't know who that is.

That's Otto Graham, friend.

Okay. Because I saw number 60 before. That was in college. I didn't recognize him with this one bar over his face. He didn't have any bar in college, and so this is the celebration of Otto Graham. Now, what is the question that you're asking me?

I— the, the pretentious asses who do the, like, the 'of all time' when they're really talking about people since they've been alive, or the pain in the ass who does the greatest quarterbacks list of all time. Here's my top 10, Otto Graham number 6. Wait, what do you know about Otto Graham? You never saw Otto Graham play. Who are you to weigh in on Otto Graham? By the way, to clarify, Otto Graham wore number 60 in the AAFC. Then when the Cleveland Browns were a part of the NFL, he switched to number 14.

Just to clarify for you, it's important that we get those details right.

People expect us to get the details right.

AAFC.

It's just how he talks. There's only one A in there, but he just puts many of them in front of that because it's how it is that he talked.

Before it is that I make fun of Damashek and the way that he took the show and grabbed the steering wheel and then made a bunch of gibberish noises, I did want to ask you the serious question of when the Chicago Bears give Darnell Wright a record-breaking contract for a right tackle, and then we report that it is a record-breaking contract for a right tackle.

Who cares?

And when did they start caring about the specifics of this is a record-breaking contract? It's $114 million. We've never paid someone that much. How and why did we start caring about that? How and why did that become something that is reported? And why should I care about the fact that the Chicago Bears have a very good right tackle? And I know he's a good right tackle and there's no disputing that he's a good right tackle, but I really don't care at all that they're paying him more than any other right tackle. Why? Should anybody.

Didn't it all really start, it feels to me like, with Dave Winfield? That was when people, when sports fans started to pay more attention to how much players were getting paid in sports. That's what, that was at least for me the start of it all. I don't really recall it.

It isn't for me. Dave Winfield is my favorite baseball player of all time. Dave Winfield. I still have baseball cards of his, and I don't really have very many baseball cards. They're just the ones from my childhood. I wish I still had the Slurpee cup with his face on it back when the— uh, look at Roy's smile back there— when, back when, uh, 7-Eleven would give you, uh, the Slurpee cup.

What do you—

you do— are you not familiar with this?

I had one too. Pitchers pay the price when they face Jim Rice. And my sister Amy got one that said, Seaver needs no reliever. What was the Winfield one?

I didn't think—

I don't think, uh, I think we're talking about different timelines because mine, I don't recall mine having right writing on it. I just remember that it was just Dave Winfield. So I don't know if you're before me or after me when they added the slogans, but you guys have no idea what we're talking about. The Slurpee— is the Slurpee still popular? Is the 7-Eleven Slurpee still a popular thing?

Still being sold.

That's not my question. I don't know whether the 7-Eleven Slurpee is still popular. Uh, was the, the batting helmet with ice cream in it, was that a 7-Eleven thing?

Oh, it was Dairy Queen. Dairy Queen.

Yeah.

Okay, so, uh, so So put it on the poll at Le Batard Show. Better sweet treat, the 7-Eleven Slurpee or the Helmet Sundae from Dairy Queen?

Let's see here.

Can you read there what the writing is on the Dave Winfield cup that's on the screen there? Because my eyes are not good enough. It just says Yankees there.

No, it's just 1987.

86.

It's '86. He was Sports Channel MVP.

Was, was Winfield— how many sports was Winfield drafted in? Because I really don't remember what you're talking about in terms of like—

so it—

but it is instructive, right? I was a child, so I had no interest in the money, and I would have no reason to have any interest in the money, and I wasn't reading things that would be about the money. So Dave Winfield just was an amazing athlete to me. I couldn't believe that someone had that big a swing or someone that athletic was playing baseball, and that's why— that's one of the reasons that I liked him so much.

He was drafted by 4 teams in 3 different sports. So he was drafted by the Padres as a pitcher, 4th overall pick in the MLB draft. Obviously didn't go on to pitch. Then he was drafted by the Hawks in what was then the 5th round of the NBA draft and the Utah Stars in the 6th round of the ABA draft. He never played college football, but the Vikings took him in the 17th round of the NFL draft.

Like, I like the idea of the Vikings being like, what the hell, let's take a chance. He seems to be a pretty good athlete.

It is an interesting question, Dan, about when we started to care about that, but the same goes for the one that is the weirdest to me is caring about TV ratings. But sports fans indulge that all the time. Oh no, oh God, they must be— the NBA front office must be petrified about that. Those two teams play. What do you care? What does that— how's it impact your life?

I would assume that the reason that people care is because if something has big ratings, it affirms that they care about something that is very popular. And if something doesn't have big ratings, they can point to it and say, see, this is why this is failing, and this supports my argument that something is failing. But I think we now have the sound of you talking professionally into a microphone, and you can get much of this on Football America.

The person who insists that when they make a list of the great— well, the first one is when they say of all time.

So I was supposed to understand that question?

That was worse than I remembered.

We should take that out to people in public and be like, answer this.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, so just, just, just understand, okay, I'm sitting here driving the show like I've been doing it for 20-plus years now, just minding my own business, and someone grabs the steering wheel to offer me this.

The person who insists, um, that, uh, that when they make a list of the great— first, well, the first one is when they say "of all time." What's the question?

So somebody's making a list of all time.

But what— what— that's how— let me, let me just count them out. Please play it again.

Again, just—

this is a professional. We're paying him.

Football America's new show we built around him. I strongly suggest you listen to it.

It is very good. But here he's not.

The person who insists, um, that, uh, that when they make a list of the great— first, well, the first one is when they say 'of all time.' It's a full 12 seconds of just gibberish.

I, I, I— where's the question in that? Like, what— how was I supposed to understand what the hell you were asking?

It's preseason, Dan.

I don't know what your deal is, Dan. It's pretty clear he's asking if the person who insists when they make a list, the first one is of all time.

Yeah, I don't need that. I'm working through.

Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, it is the start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day. It is the stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. It is the stat of the day.

Dan, I got a dealer's choice here. Do you want a football stat or a non-football stat?

Which one's better?

I think they're both really good. Highly recommend both.

All right, let's hear them both then.

Okay, it's a football stat. So the other day we were talking about Tua versus Penix in this quarterback battle. Yep, there you go.

Oh, hold on.

I have something for that.

Reference that in the Things to Ponder file. He's flipping through. He's got—

there he is. Saturday, man. Go on.

First all-time, all-lefty QB cap battle ever, right? He asked the question. I have the answer. It's not. It's happened 3 times in NFL history. 3 times. You've got— first of all, you've got Boomer Esiason in Cincinnati. And then Mark Brunell in Jacksonville. Both of them had lefty backups. So it's only the third time. But then I went deeper into the rabbit hole and I said, wait a second, how many lefty quarterbacks have played in the NFL ever? NFL been around a long time, right? Long time.

Since Otto Graham.

Since Otto Graham.

Righty.

You know how many left-handed quarterbacks there have been?

Let's see if we can put the over-under here. Yeah. If I were to say to you, Dave Dameshek, football expert, that the number— we're not talking about starting quarterbacks, we're just talking about somebody who has taken a snap or had a job as a backup of any kind. If I put the number, Damashek, at 20, would you go over or under?

I mean, it's got to be more than 20. I know the number is low, but in the history of football—

If I were to put the number at 40, would you go under or over? If I put the number at 40, I'm going to go—

I'm going to go over 40. I'm going to say it's around 50.

So it's— we're talking about appeared in an NFL game.

I thought you just said was rostered. I thought that was the—

appeared in an NFL game.

So there's a big difference to you between rostered and just a guy?

Yeah, I can see a guy knocking around.

Well, let's actually— let's do this another way. Go ahead, off the top of your head, and just start naming left-handed quarterbacks if you want to take a crack at that as our, uh, you know, resident football expert, because I don't think I can— I don't feel I can name a whole bunch of left-handed quarterbacks.

This is not including trick plays like Ronnie Brown.

Wow.

It's not including trick plays. No, it's just, it's not someone who's throwing a pass because Ronnie Brown's not a quarterback, right?

These are people who are quarterbacks who appeared in the game. Doesn't matter whether they're a backup or a starter. So I'll give you one. Steve Young's a left-handed quarterback.

540 guys maybe. I mean, like Mike Pagel and, uh, you know, you're, you're getting in the 100-plus years of NFL. Vic Tua. Um, so you're doing, wait a minute, so you're doing 100 years of NFL and I'm doing 50.

Like, I don't think of the NFL as something that— I don't think of it as something before 1970.

No, I'm talking about from the dawn, since Otto Graham up until today, how many left-handed quarterbacks have merely appeared in a game? Doesn't matter whether they started or they came off the bench.

Dan Levitar.

It's the Jets coach, sweetie.

Chris Cody.

I should go say hello.

This is the Dan Levitar Show.

Let's go ahead and get the number.

33.

Wow.

Hmm.

It's absurdly low.

That is crazy. Uh, look up for me, Chris, if you don't mind. It is absurdly low. Put it on the poll at Le Batard Show. Are you surprised that there have been only 33 NFL left-handed quarterbacks ever? NFL quarterbacks ever. Uh, can you look up for me, Chris, whether Mississippi State, the football football team was the first team in the history of college football last year to have both a left-footed field goal kicker and a left-footed punter? Because I'm pretty sure that's the first time that that has ever happened in the history of the sport, but I'm not totally sure that it's so. So if you could look that up for me, I would appreciate it. What's your other stat?

I mean, we got to get the music first.

Yep.

You want the long version?

Start of the day. Start of the day. It's here! Start of the day— start of the day, start of the day— it's here! Start of the day— start of the day, start of the day—

this year's Star of the Day—

part of today— star of me Dave— he did see his car off today.

I'm gonna pause here on The Stat Of The Day no matter how interesting it is to give people a private look at what it is that my experience doing this show in the privacy of these air traffic controls right now looks like for you guys out there watching us live around the world from home or wherever else we're going through your computer screen because if not then why do they pay?

It doesn't make sense.

So let's take one more listen together: "Start of the day," uh-huh...

"Star of the day." Uh huh.

Okay.

Yeah yeah yeah.

This way, okay.

All righty.

Let's go ahead and get back into our broadcast studio so everybody can hear all about some other stuff too.

That was good though.

We'll come up again Controller, later tonight when David has another great story coming down the line but first, please stay tuned until after 1 PM Eastern Time tomorrow morning for an exciting episode of UFO Reports Live News Update featuring Dr.

John Mackey who will be talking about uh, alien contact reports which have been flooding over Twitter lately including those received by Mark Pilkington yesterday night during UAP Radio Night Alive From Home. Stay safe everyone!

See ya next time.

Bye-bye.

I'm gonna pause here on the stat-of-the-day no matter how interesting it is to give headphones people a private look at what it is that my experiences doing this show in the privacy of these Air Traffic Control Towers means. And also thank Mike Mullenbeck very much once again that for joining us along with Jason Whitehead. They've both provided excellent commentary throughout this entire thing. Nick Thank you so much folks.

Take care till Monday evening.

Goodnight.

Wright, uh, makes fun of. Uh, while all of this conversation was going on, I'm going to give you guys a sneak peek as to what it is was happening in my ear and my ear only as all of you were talking. Jeremy, you want to just go ahead and give people what it is you were doing in only my ear during that segment as I go full-blown crazy while trying to do this show?

I said an update on Mike Pagel. He now resides in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, and became a project manager for AT&T. He also is the quarterback coach at Normandy High School in Parma, Ohio.

Delightful.

There you go, Dan. You don't want to know that? Look who— look who learned a little something.

We had a gap there.

The Dan Lebatard Show.

Stat of the Day was playing.

So, man in the Eating Hall of Fame, Dan Lebatard.

Damn, I want to know. Just be—

Todd Marinovich. He was a lefty, remember him?

He was, yeah.

Scott Mitchell. You guys remember Scott Mitchell real good down here, don't you?

Tony, bring, uh, bring in that, uh, the, the, uh, thing that we have framed there. I don't know that— has Damaschek seen what it is?

I hope he hasn't.

Uh, Brunel?

Uh, no, I want to see if, uh, if we can present to, uh, Dave Damaschek something that he has not seen here because he mentioned Scott Mitchell, and we have a framed, uh, picture there of the most famous Greg Cody column ever written, uh, The Unthinkable: A Marino Trade. Greg Cody thought that it was a good idea to trade Dan Marino and keep Scott Mitchell, the left-handed Scott Mitchell.

And then, and then after writing that column, appeared on WPLG local news outside of the Miami Herald building with his face, uh, distorted and his voice, uh, changed because he wanted to appear anonymous while giving that opinion because it was dangerous to have that opinion in this town. What is the other stat of the day?

I mean, so you guys know about Grand Theft Auto?

Yeah, yep.

GTA 6, very, very, very—

Tony, you didn't break that.

I think he destroyed it.

Tony, you didn't— that did not just fall off the wall. That's a precious artifact. That's like something from an archaeological dig. You just broke a bunch of T-Rex bones.

That's what you just did by throwing that on the ground accidentally.

Please, please treat that with some respect. Uh, go ahead. Grand Theft Auto.

So Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming out, and they estimated the budget to be exceeding $2 billion, and it took 10 to 12 years to develop. Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, cost $1.5 billion and took 6 years to build.

How does it cost— I understand it's popular, and I understand that they'll make their money back on that, but how does it cost that much to make a video game?

3 words: attention to detail.

But $2 billion worth of attention to detail? Do you believe that if I say to the audience that it costs $2 billion to make Grand Theft Auto 6 that anyone would put the number there?

I think given how long it's taken and the anticipation and, and the things that they've been releasing— so I don't, I don't know if people understand this. So the game takes place in a fictional city always, but these fictional cities are very, very familiar to cities that you may know. So Los Santos, kinda like Los Angeles, Liberty City, kinda like New York, and Vice City is of course Miami. And so the earlier versions of it, you would just see things, oh, it kinda looks like Miami, oh, they got some beaches, they got some palm trees, etc. But as this thing has developed, they start getting real detailed. Like the last one was set in Los Santos, but it's like, that's Sunset. That's where the comedy store— like, they have all these landmarks, but they just give them different names and different kind of styles. And so what they're building here, what, uh, figuratively speaking, in Vice City is— I would be surprised if the Elser isn't in it. Like, it's so detailed.

What if I'm crossing the street in it?

What if you're clearing off the table?

Big freckled guy.

Whoa, big, unnecessary. By the way, Dan, in 2005, the Penn State Penn State had it— Penn State had a lefty kicker and punter? I was gonna go with Nittany Lions off one. That's where that's what happened there.

Third round Matt Leinart, lefty.

You don't have to say lefty! We got 30 seconds. What you were doing— I saw what you're doing, all what you were doing. It's funnier, it's just Matt Leinart and then silence. You can't help yourself.

Boomer Esiason already mentioned Steve Martin.

The, the thing that I need to get back to, because we haven't accentuated it quite enough, I want everyone here listening to this, but especially the people who do not have video, okay? I want you to imagine Chris Cody at his most amorous, okay? I want you to imagine Chris Cody saying, I want to recreate the scene from the movies where someone, uh, has, uh, sex so passionately and has, uh, so much lust in their heart that they need to knock a bunch of things off of a desk, a sweeping gesture that just very, uh, both heroically and masculinely but also aggressively—

oh boy—

needs sex so badly right now with the person that he's devoted his life to, and she's so much on the same page that she's not going to find it appalling or even messy that he sweeps a hand across a desk and knocks everything off.

Oh boy.

But then goes into the room to have sex, does— but doesn't do anything with the desk or anything.

Like have sex on a table?

Oh boy.

If you clear it off—

I, I love—

like, again, in my mind's eye, it's already migrated, but he's like, hold on, honey. And then he makes the mess and is— and now we can start.

Then I skip into the bed bedroom. Well, you skip, but I'm assuming also you're skipping but with the impediment of fully nude, you're aroused, and, and aroused. So here you got, you got the sweeping gesture, you've got a desk that is now prepared for something that is vigorously passionate, you've got you at full attention, and then you point to the bedroom and I'm like, let's take it in and you have to step over, you know, the stapler that is on the floor in order to get there.

You're a skipper.

That's right.

That's your skipper?

Aroused Winnie the Pooh clearing the table off. Let's make our way upstairs now.

That's the other thing. You know he's wearing a shirt. Like, that's the thing.

First few years of my wife, now I take it off. I'm comfortable with her now. It did take a while though, you're not wrong. 3 years.

I thought you were saying it the other way around, like that you, you're too lazy to remove an apparel, but it was shame that required you to keep your t-shirt.

Oh no, you're, you're stepping over a paper weight, the electric bill. Like, you're just— you're stepping over these things and are like, and now, honey, let's take it to the bedroom.

Shall we?

And let's just do this the way we've always done it. No surprises, no changes. Let's just, uh, let's just go straight ahead.

Dave, talk to me.
