What is the opening premise of the episode and who are the main hosts?
You are listening to the Dan Levitar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports app. Now live in all 50
states. Ah, yes. Big game or not a big game is presented by the all-new Lawnmower Go from Manscaped. Dan, you know about that groin and body hair trimmer?
You keep asking me that. And yes, I do know about
that. Swondering. Roy, hit it.
Howdy, folks. Welcome to Big Game or Not a Big Game with Jonathan Zaslow.
Ah, that's right. I'm traveling to State College this weekend, all right? Don't look like this is beneath you, okay? I'm traveling to State College.
That's not a big game.
We'll find out. What? We'll find out. It's a highly ranked team. We'll find out. Chris. Rocco Beckton and boys. Don't spoil it. No spoilers. Chris, what do you got for me?
Ole Miss at Florida. Number four traveling to number 21.
Oh, hell yeah. This is one of those games where we're going to learn. We're going to learn, game. We're going to learn about Ole Miss. Or we're going to learn about Florida. The game is at... Who are you doing there? The game is at the Swamp. You know about that Swamp? You know about John Sumrall? Who is what every Gator fan has wanted so far. That's a good coach right there. You know about Ole Miss and Pete Golding? Do you know? Is that all you're going to do here is ask us if we know people? No spoilers. Hey, you're
a
Gator fan. I can tell. You're hiding in plain sight. Ole Miss at Florida. That's a big game. Yes. Big game.
Roy, what
do
you got? I have number 17, Iowa. They are going
to the
big house to face number 18, Michigan. You know about that big house? That's
Michigan.
You're going to just keep doing this to me where you just keep asking
me. Do you know about it, Dan? Yes, I know about it. Do you know the stadium is sunken? It's sunken. Below ground? Yes. Who are you doing there? That's not me. When you walk up to
the stadium,
you are level with the scoreboard. Dan, have you ever been level with the scoreboard? Yeah, that's right. Iowa at Michigan. That's a big game. Big game. Amin, what do you got?
When I'm done with the show tomorrow, I'm getting on a bird. I'm flying to the West Coast. I'm going to Georgia Tech at Stanford. I got my yellow jacket jersey on. Where's my camera? Classic ACC. Georgia Tech Athletics. I need a field pass. I got tickets. Don't worry about me getting in the game. I'll be at the game. It's a big game. But I need a field pass, so this is my direct plea.
You don't have to say that. And you also need a new baseball jersey because this has literal mold on it.
Look. It's very sentimental.
You know about that mold, Dan? Georgia Tech at Stanford. Let me tell you something.
ACC showdown.
If this game, if the camera panned to the sidelines and Amin El-Hassan was standing there, people would be like, what the hell is going on? Georgia Tech, Stanford, not a big game. What? Not a big game. Mike, what do you
got? Texas Longhorns. Tennessee Volunteers.
How do the hosts frame the “big game vs. not‑a‑big game” debate and what early sports match‑ups do they discuss?
Donald Trump. Lots of orange in the house. Big game or not a
big
game?
Traffic situation, terrible. I've been to games that the president goes to. They're stopping every car under the hood, in the trunk, under the car. It's a whole mishegas, all right? Arch Manning, you saw a couple weeks ago. He laughs. He tells jokes at his press conferences. Now he gives two-word answers. I mean, they massacred my boy. He's lying. He says nothing now. Texas. He's lying. Who are you doing? Who are you doing there? I don't know who that is. Texas at Tennessee? That's a big game.
Big game.
Tony, what do you got? Michigan's impossible. Copacabana Beach. Linen shirt. Cigar in my hand. That's right. Four days early before the game. Stephen A. Smith in Rio de
Janeiro. Inexplicably.
Games on
CBS. Ha! You're taking some of my material, all right? Be careful. Big game, not a big game. Okay, are we asking about the game, Ravens-Cowboys, or is Stephen A. in Rio?
Stephen A. in Rio is a scenario. That's what I thought. Linen shirt, cigar, chomping on
Copacabana
Beach. I have enough makeup that would make an embalmer feel bad.
Joga Bonito. Stephen A. Thursday in Rio. In Rio.
Thursday in
Rio.
The question is, it has nothing to do with the Cowboys or the Ravens.
