Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Izzy, Chris, Jeremy, Jessica, and Tony. Dan made a huge mistake yesterday: NOT exploring more within Jessica and her dad's relationship while watching Notre Dame games together. Dan and the crew examine every ounce of what the Smetana household is like on a gameday against USC including singing alma maters, throwing Christmas ornaments, and breaking televisions. Then, Stugotz leaves to go talk to the QB who beat Miami this weekend, Dan is frustrated with the Shipping Container for rummaging through gifts sent to the studio for him, and, despite our best efforts, we end up discussing the College Football Playoff AGAIN. Plus, the Miami Heat blew out LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers. Izzy and Jeremy discuss whether this was more about the Lakers ineptitude or Tyler Herro and the Heat figuring some things out.

Chapter 1: What happened during the Notre Dame vs. USC game?
Before FU, before I get to David Sampson, I wanted to talk about last night's Laker heat game. And I wanted to talk about some of what swirls around the Miami Heat where reportedly the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets are interested in Jimmy Butler.
Yeah.
You understand why they would be. Those teams would get better with him. Miami would not, unless there were other teams involved. You trade away Jimmy Butler, you've got to get a player better than Jimmy Butler if you're in Pat Riley's last years doing this. So I would assume that the Laker win last night is because, at least in part, Anthony Davis can't be that.
There's got to be something physically that he's fighting with when that's what he is. That's a dominant player, and that's not how he looks. To me, the greatest concern over the first 20 games for the Miami Heat is you need all three of the guys to be all-stars. You can't have Tyler Hero being an all-star, but Bam is no longer an all-star.
If you want to challenge the Celtics, who are dominant, all three guys have to be all-stars, and you can't get Tyler Hero his, and then Bam's just a mess for 20 games. Nope.
I want to stick to the Lakers for a second, just because I don't have as much faith in the Miami Heat as I have in the past. But this whole JJ Redick thing, the one part before he started coaching where I said, hey, how are they going to hear JJ Redick when he is complaining to them about the defense they don't play? Because JJ Redick, as a defender in the NBA... Effort, not very good, right?
Now, you saw that effort yesterday at the Lakers game. Wait a minute, what happened, Tony?
I mean, yeah, he's not a really good defender, but does it mean, hey, go play defense like a coach? You know what I mean?
No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that because he's fresh off of his playing days, and most of these players played against him and probably cooked him when he was defending them, if he is telling them to play harder on defense, I don't think they hear it the same. I haven't seen a team play that lazily on defense, at least one that's supposed to be good in the long term.

Chapter 3: What traditions does Jessica's family have on game day?
Agreed.
Hey friends, it's Jarabear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which is now a legit nationwide 5G network. So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice, because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to.

Chapter 5: What role does Jägermeister play in the podcast?
Tell the listeners two things. Jägermeister is great, but everyone's been drinking it wrong. Damn, that's cold. Well, how should we be drinking it? They're so glad you asked. Ice cold at zero degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. Ice cold shots of Jagermeister. That's it. That's all they want to tell you.

Do you know this one friend who just comes out of bed in the morning and then doesn't come out of his grin? Who is even in front of the first coffee, shamelessly well-groomed, and radiates the morning sun around the bed? Terrible. Disgusting. How can you just...
