The digest
Dan Le Batard and the crew kick off the first hour of the show with the highly anticipated inaugural Suey Awards, a new segment designed to celebrate (and roast) various aspects of the sports world. This week's category: "Worst Talking." The discussion quickly veers into the evolving landscape of college football, with strong opinions on its professionalization and the impact of NIL deals.
The Suey Awards: Worst Talking
The show opens with the introduction of a "brand new Suey announcer" and a "brand new Suey trophy," setting a lighthearted tone for the awards. The first category, "Worst Talking," immediately sparks a debate about the team's appearance. Dan questions why everyone is dressed like a "company softball team that is 4 and 12," leading to laughter and an explanation that their attire is a result of a three-week period with Zaslow. Jeremy then reveals his lifelong dream of becoming a country music star, a passion project he's been working on for about ten years, which he'll be sharing through his new single, "The Diary of a Personable Fella," dropping on Friday. He assures listeners that the content is "from the heart" and will feature "real emotion."
