20 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What challenges have the hosts faced since Halloween?

7.388 - 14.941 Stugotz

You haven't been tested. Our minds, bodies, and spirits have been in hell since Halloween. You're walking into an asylum.

0

15.262 - 34.188 Unknown

Dan Lepetard, tell me the big game that a Mario Cristobal coach team has not shown up for since he's been at Miami. I double dog dare you. I think they're actually going to be shocked at how not home gamey this is going to feel for Indiana. They thought that they were going to fly into this town because no one on my plane is a Miami fan. It's crazy.

0

35.089 - 40.315 Unknown

And they're going to be hit in the mouth by not just a football team, but by the crowd.

0

40.335 - 46.522 Stugotz

The same folks picking you have been pouring dirt on our grave for two and a half months. We're still standing.

0

46.662 - 59.055 Unknown

Miami's going to average at least four yards a rush. Miami matches up really well here. I think Miami's going to go on 14 play drives. I think Miami's going to lean on these guys.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about Miami's home game atmosphere?

59.516 - 80.157 Unknown

They present a matchup problem that they haven't really encountered, and I think we're going to see a team wear out over the course of the game. I think styles make fights, and this is a really good matchup, and it's going to be a difficult one for Indiana, I think. I think Indiana's going to know right away they're in for a fight, and I think Miami wins. Go Canes.

0

80.137 - 88.888 Stugotz

We're forged in fire and been fighting for our lives longer than you've mattered. See you in a week. Spot the goddamn ball. All right, I stand by it.

0

88.908 - 91.571 Unknown

I will be beating it, but number six, go Caves!

0

92.853 - 99.321 Stugotz

How do I get put in the parade of gas bags just reading a quote from Mike Ryan? None of those were my words! None of them!

0

99.641 - 100.462 Unknown

You said it.

100.482 - 101.263 Stugotz

It's unfair!

101.924 - 104.387 Unknown

Jeremy, you were secretly delighted last night, weren't you?

Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts share about Miami's football performance?

104.627 - 109.333 Unknown

Secretly? Midway through the second quarter, he's like, I'm gonna get going on the montage.

0

110.512 - 112.755 Stugotz

Greg, do you have a back in my day? It's Tuesday.

0

113.656 - 116.44 Unknown

No, I just didn't have time. I've been a little busy lately.

0

117.081 - 122.929 Stugotz

Can you guys get me as much Rolf Banerska information as you can here?

0

122.949 - 124.752 Unknown

So, again, hold on. Let's rewind this for a second.

125.192 - 132.262 Stugotz

Who are these people? Rolf Banerska? It's Uwe von Schaman and Rolf Banerska. Uwe von Schaman.

132.282 - 139.472 Unknown

Dig up a picture of Uwe von Schaman. He was quite a looker. That was a professional athlete. You have to keep in mind as you stare at his bald head.

139.503 - 144.888 Dan Le Batard

Is it Ralph or Rolf? Rolf. Rolf. Oh, hell yeah. Rolf? Shaman? Rolf.

144.908 - 163.627 Stugotz

Let's go. Can you find out for me the why he was hosting Wheel of Fortune? Was Pat Sajak on strike? What was happening that made Rolf Banerska be the host of Wheel of Fortune for a very brief period of time? It was a very strange thing, and I'd like as much information on this as you guys can get me.

Chapter 4: Who is Rolf Banerska and what is his significance?

234.809 - 239.575 Unknown

About six months worth of Wheel of Fortune for Rolf Bernershka.

0

240.702 - 253.706 Stugotz

Can you guys imagine that? Like, I don't even know. I really don't know who I can put as a kicker in the modern game with a funnier name as the host, as a random host of Wheel of Fortune.

0

253.726 - 255.209 Unknown

Sebastian Janikowski.

0

255.229 - 280.889 Stugotz

Than Rolf Banerska. If people know he was a kicker, they're like, oh, that guy. I know who he is. No. No. I was like, who's this guy? No, if you think kickers are not famous now, I had an idea actually. I didn't pose it yesterday and I meant to. I really failed in this regard. Xavier Lucas was out for the first half of the game yesterday because of the targeting call in the previous game.

0

281.11 - 291.465 Stugotz

And given the general anonymity of football players inside the uniform, I was actually thinking, what if they just put Xavier Lucas in another uniform and didn't

291.445 - 292.366 Unknown

How you're talking.

292.386 - 303.242 Stugotz

Didn't tell anybody that it was Xavier Lucas. Everybody was like, holy shit, that guy. Who is that guy? Just put him in a different uniform that no one has seen play all season and don't tell anybody.

303.583 - 305.666 Dan Le Batard

Oregon's kicker is named Atticus Sappington.

305.806 - 311.935 Unknown

Oh, that name I've heard. That guy's nice. Sappington, what a name. Atticus. I love that guy.

Chapter 5: Why did Rolf Banerska host Wheel of Fortune?

497.615 - 501.381 Stugotz

But he kind of did. He was woozy. He doesn't have to admit it. The way he got up made it obvious.

0

501.401 - 512.68 Unknown

He was wobbly. And everybody was like, let's still roll with concussed Carson Beck. Spoiler alert. If the Patriots go on to win the Super Bowl, it will be a footnote that they beat the backup of the Broncos to get to that spot.

0

512.66 - 531.014 Stugotz

Oh, well, let's talk about this for a second. It's not just merely that they've had the easiest schedule, which the Patriots did this year. Go look at just the history of good fortune here that they've had the entirety of the season, which is nuts. But all of that stuff gets forgotten. Nobody cares at the end if it's an imperfect measurement system. It doesn't matter.

0

531.174 - 554.74 Unknown

I don't discount what Diana Rossini said on this show earlier today. I think that the Broncos now have more incentive than they did, if that's possible. I think the defense is good enough. I think New England is overrated enough based on their schedule. It wouldn't shock me in the least for Denver at home. Minus five or plus five and a half to win that game. I'd be pretty surprised.

0

555.14 - 573.868 Unknown

I mean, it would be shocking. I don't think it would be. It will definitely come up as a factor that I think is one of the most overrated things mentioned in sports. The advantage that Denver teams have at home. Oh, it's the thin air up there. Then why don't they all go undefeated? Why don't they all have remarkable home records? They don't.

573.848 - 599.383 Unknown

spoiler alert once again i don't think that's how spoiler alerts work i don't think that uh you can't spoiler i was spoiling you looking up their career their their uh their records to disprove my point i am right they none of them went undefeated at home in any given aren't they like eight and one at home i could be wrong that's off the top i'm talking about the nuggets in the abs you you get my larger point okay in the what sure can i jump in real fast if you think you've got the

599.363 - 603.808 Unknown

Boldest take of the week. We want to bring that segment back. Prove it. Call 305-486-GOTS.

Chapter 6: What health condition did Rolf Banerska have?

604.328 - 623.409 Unknown

Also, per Jeff Passan, the Miami Marlins are acquiring right-hander Bradley Blaylock from the Colorado Rockies for a minor league pitcher. Blaylock was DFA'd by the Rockies last week. This will give Miami additional pitching depth after trading away Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers.

624.23 - 630.249 Stugotz

I'm still confused by what happened on that phone call between Barkley and his bookie. I know.
