Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
But I just remember looking at the schedule and just being like, I'm cool if that game just doesn't happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I think I worked a Steve Martin in there, if you listen back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Juju's one caveat was it has to be on someone, though. For it to be three points, you have to dunk over a defender. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I will. Only this one. Drawbridges.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You always do that, Dan. When you're trying to celebrate someone, you kill them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
And was resentful for it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure Turturro knew how to get off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
We don't reveal. That's not what we do. Major penalty, five minutes, screwing comedy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I've rarely seen a game, and you mentioned that Monday night game, Falcons-Raiders, where I just look at it on the schedule and I'm like, why is this here? Why do I have two Monday night games? It's a terrible game I have no interest in. I mean, you went to it, so I guess it was good for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Well, I think you guys probably experienced when he says interviewed at length, there is no other kind of interview with Alonzo Moore. He's a bit wordy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I hope this doesn't spoil the holiday party that it doesn't seem anyone wants to go to. And Amin is still here. He's flown in like he was in Vegas. And he cares deeply about his sport. His sport is under attack, man. I Adam Silver, it wasn't that long ago that he was the leader of all leaders and he knew what how to be progressive in ways that would make the sport evolve.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Greg, how do you not know how to promote on your own podcast and you have to go, son, what did we do? Like a doddering old man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
But Greg, what was the best thing on your podcast? Please don't outsource that. Please answer the question as the host of your own podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
So you think it's a good question to ask Alonzo Mourning to insult a teammate by saying, hey, that Jason Capone who stunk. Well, I was just more like, hey, you have all these fun ones. What's the saddest one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I don't think it is hard to tell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I think you better be careful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Yes, I think Alonzo Mourning, over the years, has earned the reputation as somebody who can be very stern and serious. And be careful. Don't insult him by being too playful. Playful is not really his thing. Playful among teammates, maybe. Playful among journalists, not so much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Can I get some sound here to help Greg Cody promote podcasts in general? The comedian Andrew Santino is on this week's edition of South Beach Sessions. He is climbing very quickly up of comedy ranks and he has gotten popular friends with famous people. The Kelsey's, he has become friends with Patrick Mahomes. And he is a Bears fan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
And his fellow Bears fans are yelling at him for rooting for the Chiefs. They say he cannot root for the Chiefs. So he's got something to say to them on the recent edition of South Beach Sessions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
What are you talking about? You need to not be friends with them so that you can only root for the Bears.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
They don't have a long way to go. They'd both be in the Hall of Fame if their careers ended today. We'll see about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
And since then, basketball has been used as a political tool for its social commentary. And if you go woke, you go broke. NBA, you did all the social justice stuff and now look at your ratings. and look at how everyone says it's three-pointers or something else, Amin is defensive about his sport for good reason. Like, he cares deeply, cares more than most of the people consuming it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
They would both be in the Hall of Fame. Five years from the day. No, not five years from the day. If their career ended today, they should walk straight to the Hall of Fame. Not even take off their uniform. Just walk straight to the Hall of Fame. Both of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Billy, thank you for bringing that up. I do appreciate it. Let's talk about that Aaron Rodgers documentary.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I would assume just based on watching a public meltdown that doesn't have any precedent for me in terms of how a superstar has disintegrated for years into being one thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
then becoming something else i have thought watching from afar as his family stuff has become uniquely public for an athlete that part of the problem at every turn is that joy is only so joyous if it isn't shared with people like if he's having trouble with his relationships with women, and he's having trouble navigating fame, and he doesn't have his family to share any of it with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Like, who's Aaron Rodgers sharing love with?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
They're going to be friends and stuff, but the journey he's taken over the last few years, I don't know how... I don't know who those friends are, what they look like, or how distorted his entire life has gotten, because he's gotten sort of brain-fried, internet-wrought brain, and I don't know who's telling him much of anything about, like, hey, Aaron, are you, like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
With the rest of us, are you just over there still on McAfee at 4 and 10 talking about show me your VAC status when we're all looking at your season and the end of your career and saying, man, you were really one of the best to ever do this. Why does it have to look like this at the end?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Oh, but he's still enjoying, like, you get, nobody gets this long. I know we've made advancements with medicine and everything else, but somebody's going to want him next year. The Jets. The last month, okay, he's looked like he can move around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
And he's been really accurate, and he's again playing for his job, and that's not normal at that age. But I have seen what Stugatz's Jets have done before. Over 40 years, I thought Aaron Rodgers over the last four games would have been what they were getting all season. They have lost seven one-score games. 0-7. I thought Aaron Rodgers was there, so that would be 7-0.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
And so if they're 7-0, I thought, well, if I replace Zach Wilson with Aaron Rodgers, and he thought that's how it would go. That's why he's doing that whole documentary. He thought he was going to be great in New York because he's one of the best to ever do it. That's not up for dispute. I'm not going to have that erased by the last three years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
It has seemed over the last five years, once you're into Iowa, once you're getting to the ayahuasca portion of your journey, you're really searching.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
It's one hell of a midlife crisis, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I mean, isn't that the entirety of the journey, though? I don't want to go too self-help on this, but once you get to some form of better self-love that's forgiving for yourself, then you love others better and you allow them to love you better as well. He's probably wandering through life feeling a little alone and empty because of his...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
absence of connections and looking for spiritual enlightenment through ways that kill the ego with ayahuasca because it seems pretty obvious over the last five years that he's searching to be happier but is that a path to be judged or is that a path to be celebrated once you get out there with all of these political opinions and look for all of these fights though that's not a happy place
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Like, it's hard to be fighting the entirety of the internet for five years pretending you don't care about anybody's opinion when you're the guy who went to Mina Kimes' like, wherever she was, you wanted to so badly be understood by the public that you did a magazine story where you went to where Mina Kimes was, her home, because you wanted so badly to be understood by the public.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
That's not the behavior of somebody who doesn't care to be understood, but I will tell you where it is that I have felt more loved by my wife than I have ever felt loved before
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
wherever understanding and acceptance are it's a craving it's really strong and you will find it around love people who understand and accept you like i don't know how much of that he's getting that would feel like fulfillment understanding and acceptance which is how you arrive at making a documentary that has access where you're showing everybody everything or trying to it's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I like a new campaign with game time that begins with some form of, are you against sadness?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
That's right. Are you lonely? Game time will fix it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
That's a good question because the harder the times are, the harder it is to celebrate joy with others. Like four and ten is going to seep into every aspect of your life, no matter who you are playing for that team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Family, everyone in the family is a street fighter. You get to heavyweight champion and he looks up and he's like, here it is, all my dreams. Gains a bunch of weight, cocaine addiction, drinking, because all my dreams didn't look like I thought my dreams would look like. I will tell you, and you've heard me tell this story before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
As a journalist, when I got to the sports reporters in Times Square at the ESPN zone and they were doing that show on Sundays, I'm like, this is the top of my profession. This is the highest place that there is. And I looked around and I was immediately made sad by, is this my dreams? The bar smells bad. They were throwing up and urine and chairs on the tables.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
That was before the Cleveland Derby. This was last night in Times Square. What do you imagine? How much do you think New York humped? The ESPN zone in Times Square the night before. Like, what do you imagine that place was like in Times Square? A zoo. And the following morning, deeply unpleasant. And the coffee table that was there was from 30 years ago. And Bob Ryan's breath was morning breath.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Do you ever use humped as a term for fornication?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Honey, how about that? Well, that's why. That's why you're the industry titan that you are, joyously swinging from vine to vine, enjoying whatever candy there is out there. You did a great job, Greg Cody, with the gifts. Thank you. Stugatz has said, Izzy is out there trying to rival you. Stugatz has said that this book... This man can rap. And the bigger gift... That's your unicorn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Okay, that is the unicorn. That was a challenge?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I feel a little bit disappointed. I feel disappointed that Izzy immediately tried to wrap gifts to rival you, and you're just giving him a bit of a condescending, yeah, you're pretty good too, kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You did, but like Dave Hyde, he doesn't quite rise to the level of one Greg Cody, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You're being polite during the holidays. How did you feel about Izzy's rapping game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show. Do you look down on poorly wrapped gifts? Also, from and by your wife.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Do you miss the Tyrone Hill pick-and-pop 18-footer? How about the Kurt Thomas baseline, Jay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I mean, this is a dangerous area. When Billy Chris and Stugatz try to fix your sport, when they try to fix your sport with rule changes, this is a terrible place for your sport to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
How are you getting sucked into the fixed basketball conversation with ridiculous rules? How about this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
How has Amin gotten sucked into having the conversation about how to fix basketball when he doesn't agree that anything other than the marketing has to be fixed?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Three-point layup. Let's put a bookmark in it. Thank you. So good. He likes that. That's perfect show right there. Billy muttering influencers and then Greg Cody coming in over the top.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I don't want to do this right now. A skyhook? All right, just hold on to it. We'll get back to it. I've got to go out to Stoic Roy. I've got to continue our toy drive. You guys forgot that we're still doing this today. Thank you. The Roy drive. We want an assortment of new and unwrapped gifts. We will be out there tomorrow again. Dolphin Mall, 11-1401 Northwest 12th Street. New toys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Let's go out here to Roy. We're going to be here tomorrow as well, and we're telling you, we're taking gifts 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday this week. Corner Coffee here at the Elser, and I will match whatever toys it is that we get. Let's check in again with Roy. Roy, give us an update there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I see that you are resplendent with more toys than you had before as people come from all over America to give you toys. How's it going out there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Is Rose there? Can it become a Rose drive? Is that Rose doing that in the background? It is Rose. Rose is, you want to bring her over? You want to help produce your own segment there, Roy? You want to help?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Or you want to wait for a bunch of, a team of enablers to come and help Santa Roy be better at producing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
It was Rose doing the bell. Festive. Festive, yes, the bell. Thank you, Rose. Roy, can you please ask Rose to give us an update on how things are going out here if she can't hear me, how things are going out there at the toy drive?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Can you get lower, Rose? We can't see your head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You're too high. Can you see me now? Yes, we can see you now. You're dressed like an elf. It's wonderful. Yes, thank you. Give us a toy drive update, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
No, it's too complicated. It's gone over my head. All right, Rose and Roy, any final words here from the Roy drive as you go up here 18 more minutes, a grueling day out in Dolphin Mall on the cusp of the Everglades?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Roy, your mustache is falling off, and you haven't done a good job of producing this segment, and you heard wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I don't know. We have to talk to Billy. Roy, an excellent job producing yourself and Rose there, as if you've never done radio or television before. I appreciate it. I appreciate all your hard work out there. Yes, excellent broadcasting. Come back home for the holiday party. I'm sure you won't drink too much of the free liquor. Come on back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
No, I'm pretty sure I do know. I'm pretty sure I do know that you will drink too much of the free liquor. Christmas Tree Rollins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
So that was chaotic. And we've had some tension in the room here because Mike Ryan and Amin, a real fight broke out. A real, I'm defensive about basketball. How dare you say hockey has become more important than basketball? And we all got uncomfortable around them shouting at each other. It escalated to MF-er for no reason whatsoever. Can we get Amin? Mike has left. I don't know where he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I don't have an Against the Spread. Oh, well. Because I wasn't prepared for this segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting. Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I want to do a couple of things with you guys. Scott Frosty, the snowman. We need Jeremy to keep working on those Christmas songs. Cody, your podcast, The Greg Cody Show, featuring Greg Cody. With, thank you. Fine. Has... I can call him Miami legend, Alonzo Mourning. I think he is. Yes, of course he is.

This isn't like, oh, it's fixed forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It was a 20. Let's all gather. I'll say, Dan, what do you got here? I think I got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Many are saying. All right. If he goes mother bleeper, it just comes off different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I have a loop I can close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
What is the loop? No, please. I texted my mom, how charitable would you describe dad? Oh, God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Oh, that's long. Hold on, hold on. That's a lot of reading that's coming.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay, so I said, how charitable would you describe dad? She writes, quote, hmm, he is a very sensitive and caring man, but in terms of monetary giving for people less fortunate, he has a low bar of what he thinks is enough money. I would give $100, he would think 10 or 20 is fine. He lives in 1970s, 80s standards of money. But the gift of knowledge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
There's a lot going on. He laughs at the joke. He's like, why is Dan stepping on my punchline?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
You gave him the punchline. You gave him the clothes to the segment. He laughed, took it for himself, and didn't share it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Because I decided open bar at the Cleveland. What else had very little to do with Edwin once it got started?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Does Hyde have a trade merino column? No, I think not. Does he have a Miller Lite sweater? Come on. Thank you, Billy. Can he rap?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I'll give him that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
So let's look at this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Fake bow. That's actually not his. Disco balls and a bow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
The one that Stu got is called a slab of ribs. Looks like from a butcher shop is Greg's great wrapping.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Who's it from on there also, incidentally? Greg, what does the to and from say? You're not supposed to put those on the white elephant gifts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
What's the next biggest one since Trade Marino, though? That was a long time ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Yeah, McDavid overrated. I sit corrected.

You're the person that introduced the topic. No one asked for this. Not a single person.

Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Well, you called him a loser first. All the gambits have just been off. Look, I don't like this either. I have my regrets over Brittany Mahomes' conversations that I had when she was spraying champagne over Chiefs fans. But they were professionals, and I guess that's my rationalization. But it's from learning from that experience. I see this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
And like Billy mentioned, this has been a talking point for several months on the internet, their relationship. They're very young, and I don't feel at all comfortable with them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Hey everybody, it's Mike Ryan, and I'm super excited to talk to you about Roan. This is a great company. I was introduced to them a couple years ago. I thought everything that they made was super comfy and looked great, and now they're aboard, and I'm wearing one of their shirts right now, and I'm getting so many compliments on it.

The internet is not great. It's tough to navigate. But I would say while you're having difficulty navigating it, Travis Hunter is like always streaming. He is extremely online.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
He's pretty public with his relationship online. I'd say he's probably positioned much better than you, someone in your 50s, to navigate it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I mean, everybody has probably been in a relationship where they're dating someone and the friends feel some kind of way about it. This is kind of a version of that. Only the friends are complete strangers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
We run into it all the time when we have events. People feel like they know us because we live between their ears. And I'm sure Travis Hunter, who's always streaming online, his fans that tune in to watch what he puts out there feel like they know him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
You're a writer and it shows sometimes. I understand how you're coding everything by he went from an HBCU. This was the number one recruit in the country. Wasn't he committed to FSU? He had FSU on signing day. He decided to go there. Barstool and Deion Sanders made a huge show of making the number one guy go to Jackson State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
So he's been a star and has been dealing with the limelight for several years now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Now, you said number one pick. You mean number one recruit in the nation to go on and do this. So the last one to do that was Bryce Young, 2020.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I hate that this story is around because I thought his speech was beautiful. It was great. I think it's a wonderful moment. I think it's really cool for Coach Prime. And as someone that found a mentor of his own, it speaks to the importance of mentorship and finding the right one to pave your way for success. And I really hate that this is hanging around the story because it's really cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
It was authentic, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
He's navigated being the number one recruit in the nation and being a star that's delivered on Heisman hype. He's been able to handle it while being under a microscope so far. So I have no reason to doubt that he can handle being the number one pick because what does that come with? Expectation? You seem to be doing all right with that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I hate all of them, being honest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
I love that he's a resident song and dance man now.

I'm a little upset that everyone's having to go at Dan for voting Cam Ward number one. Especially when, like, the rationalization for Jenty being the Heisman Trophy winners. Man, they game-planned for him, and they weren't able to stop him. Cool. No one was really able to stop Cam Ward either all season long except for maybe the staff.

I would have voted for Travis Hunter, number one. I think applying the logic on Jenty, like I said, I deduce that Cam Ward is just as unstoppable. And I think his team, the same argument. Where's Boise without Jenty? Where's Miami without Cam Ward? So I would have gone Cam Ward, number two, and Jenty, number three. It really bothered me. that Dylan Gabriel finished ahead of Cam Ward.

His best game is an average Cam Ward game. There's no, like, look, flatly, no disrespect to Dylan Gabriel. He's not as good as Cam Ward. The NFL draft prospects will bear that out. My eyes bore that out. So I think Cam Ward at four was a little disappointing. But Travis Hunter should have been number one. And I understand why it was a close race. Jenty's very impressive, too.

It was a great Heisman year, but Travis Hunter deserved to win it.

The photo of the four finalists was hilarious. And Dylan Gabriel was short, but the P4 size compared to a group of five size guy was really funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
It's a record thing. I think with Dylan Gabriel. You can point to stats, I understand. I mean, most of the stats, if you want to cherry pick just one stat for Dylan Gabriel, most of the stats would say Cam Ward's far superior. It's just Cam Ward is flatly better than Dylan Gabriel. And he won the Davey O'Brien. I was pissed off that Gabriel got Maxwell finalists and not Cam Ward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
But it's all right. We're splitting hairs here. Dylan Gabriel's going to be an all-timer when it's all said and done, when his career is all... All done and dusted after the CFP. Yeah, he's probably going to get two more years of eligibility.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Yeah, I mean, he wasn't the reason that they lost two games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Yeah, if he was undefeated, do you think he would have won it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
My argument watching that Syracuse game back, and I did that, I think we blew that game trying to get Cam Ward, the Heisman, because we were averaging six yards a carry in that game. And people say 21-0s. They scored right away. So a two-touchdown lead, you salt the game away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
Yeah, probably not. I'm going to tell you guys... Who was Travis Hunter's Heisman moment against?

I remember Dan being apprehensive about it. And I remember Stu Gotts and Mike thinking it was best for the show. It was best for personal lives. So because, you know, we were doing three to seven. That's it's hard to have a life when you're working three to seven. So I think Mike and Stu were very interested in, you know, having more work life balance and being able to get out

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Way to sell it. I was a listener of this show for many, many years, big fan of it. And then kind of just meandering through life, not knowing what I wanted to do. My dad had mentioned that him and Dan had had conversations where they could have a spot for me to just sit in a corner and kind of intern. I ended up talking with Hawk.

and mike ryan at highlight dania highlight because we would do these poker tournaments that hawk would just let me in for free because like they had some comps so like as greg cody's son i would just get to play in these poker tournaments for free so i went there once to meet hawk and it was just basically them saying yeah we could use an intern they can't make any promises for money but you can come and learn so i just sat in a corner for uh probably six months billy we were logging the show on a composition notebook like

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
This was 2010, so we could have been using Google Docs and having something that would save, but instead we were vlogging the show that you'd have in elementary school, those black composition, Billy had stacks of these things, just turning the page every day, handwriting them, hard to find stuff, you know? Hard to go back. I remember answering phone calls.

I remember we would do like 40th caller because of Udonis Haslam's jersey numbers. Now I have to go, hello, caller one, you're not the winner. Caller two, you're not the winner. So it was just months and months of sitting in a corner, trying to be eager with ideas. I was just trying to keep up. That was a scary time. I was just trying to take it all in. Thinking back on that time is pretty crazy.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Had interned for over a year at this point, coming in a couple times a week. I was almost at a point where I was not sure if I could do it any longer. I was like, I'm not getting paid, I need to focus on something that's going to pay me. I remember Billy kind of giving me, I've heard rumblings that we could be going to ESPN soon, so just kind of hang tight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Like Billy gave me a good things could be coming here. So kind of hang tight. And, you know, within a month of that conversation with Billy, we signed with ESPN. They make me full time. There were plenty of interns, you know, Joshua Pell, many interns with this show that could have been me if they just had the right timing. I got really lucky that the LeBron stuff,

I remember Dan many times telling me that this was not the career. This industry was heading in the wrong direction and there was not going to be good money in this business. And even when we got to ESPN, I remember having these conversations with him still at the Clevelander parking garage of see this salary we're giving you. This is not a salary that is going to sustain you for your entire life.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Luckily, all the things happen. Now we're at DraftKings. We're all doing much better. But I didn't take Dan's advice because I didn't have many options, I would say. You know, if people were, you know, fighting over my talents, you know, I may have left, but I'm not going to lie. There wasn't a lot going on for me at that time. So I just stuck it out with the show.

And like I said before, I was just having so much fun and I was happy going to work every day that even though ESPN wasn't paying, you know, a great salary, I was still very happy, feeling very content. My appetite was being satiated, I would say. Every day I was like excited. What were we going to create? What fun things were we going to do? So I was able to look past there not being a lot of
