Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Don't let him fool you. He said in the break that he's jittery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Which season? I only have two names written so far, and I only feel good about one of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
I feel good about one of these. All right, I'm ready. Yeah. All right. Derek Jeter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
So I have three other names here that he didn't say. Okay. I have Ichiro. Ichiro.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Ichiro. He was second on the list. That was just like the first name. That's such an obvious one. I can't believe I didn't think of Ichiro. I have Pujols. I was just like good hitter from that era. Pujols was not on the list. And then A-Rod. That was just... A-Rod was not on the list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Derek Lee! With the Cubs, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Okay, I also had Pujols. I can't believe I didn't put this other guy. This guy could have been retired by now, but Jim Tome. Really? Jim Tome, not on the list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Wow. Wow. That's weird. Barry Bonds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Did you have Barry Bonds on the list? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Aramis Ramirez. I saw Cubs, and I'm like, Derek Lee wasn't that many home runs. I'm like, who could have had a lot of home runs on that team? Carlos Quinton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Carlos Quinton? He was like a 30-year-old guy. No, he was a slugger on the White Sox.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Number two on the list. I can't believe I didn't put that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Adam Dunn, not on the list. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
I literally was like Cubs. It can't be Derek Lee. Who else do they have?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
I feel decent about five. I got five. This guy, he was hurt by then. All right. Come on. Think of one more. Think of another guy. I've got five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
That's a good guess, though. CeCe Sabathia. I had CeCe and crossed him out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
I hate to say it, boys. It's not on the list. I have one more, though, right? I think Mark Pryor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Oh, we just said all these names.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
Whatever. I guess I feel decent about this. I mean, I have five. I got five. All right, Chris Cody. I basically have four names that we just said in the last category and then one other name. Don Tro Willis. Don Tro Willis, not on the list. Oh, no. He wasn't a huge strikeout guy. I also had him on the list. CeCe Sabathia, riding this train.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
So three I get? Yep. All right, big. Roy Hosswald.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Pitch Clock Returns
And then this one I just thought of, didn't think of it last, got it. David Price.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Michael Bublé, when he's talking, sounds like he's singing. Like, don't do that. Just talk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
Dangerous game. This is a dangerous game. I don't want to play this game. No, he was saying, man, I could do such a great Kendrick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
This is who we're going to trust with this. Let's let Amin do it, I think.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
Looks like Jeremy's younger brother. My younger brother looks older. I don't trust him because he dresses like Jeremy. He does dress like me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
There's no way this guy doesn't crunch numbers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
Does intrigue me. A mustache. I like him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
Definitely didn't forget everything he said and just picked the last one. Yeah, there's no way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
He sounds so young. Or he sounds like he had a golf ball in his throat. That was young? That's young Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: The Origins of Slapdick
Okay. What is that? That and shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
No Portillo's. Florida League's better, but it's fine. No way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
I mean, were you? I'm being told in my ear that every show has been asked to and that they haven't received nothing personals yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
It's a Chicago hot dog place. In Arizona. A hot dog with a pickle on it and stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
From a modest childhood as the son of Greek and Mexican immigrants. Portillo's?

Now I'm hearing that it wasn't an email. It was like he physically said it to every producer. Verbal. Verbal. There was a verbal conversation between Jason and Coca.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
He's like a regular New York, but he was just telling you, he doesn't want to be one of the regular people. He wants to be Daniel Day-Lewis and Brando.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
He's had such a cool career. And his press tour, like you mentioned, David, not just campaigning for the Oscar now, but the press tour that he had leading up to A Complete Unknown is what got so many young people to the theaters to go see it. Because he was being this authentic weirdo that he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
He was talking about ripping milk duds and sucking all the chocolate out of it to chew the caramel like a weirdo. Yeah. He was having some of the strangest interviews you've ever seen. And it was so admirable because it was just this dude who was like, yeah, I waited outside of a Broadway show because I saw Amari Stoudemire was there and I wanted to get his autograph.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
And I did the same thing for Landry Fields. He should be every sports fan's favorite actor because he's competing like those who we admire in athletics. And he's a giant sports fan himself. I love this guy. I love Milk Duds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
It was just a bad ending by the screenplay. Not for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
I'm sure they spoke at like 3 a.m. this morning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
Dan, do you want to eulogize David before he goes like you normally do to people on their birthday? He's 57 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
For what it's worth, David, I really like your birthday suit. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
Jessica told me to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
I'm just telling you the truth. You understand? Because a birthday suit, it also means like you're naked. But he's wearing a special jacket on his birthday. And it's nice. And I liked it. So I figured I would tell, hey, David, I like your birthday suit. All right. See you, David. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Devil He Knew (feat. David Samson)
But what do you want me by the human?

I was going to say pee-pee. I do the same math, by the way, as David. Anytime I'm watching sports, according to my wife, I'm working. Sorry, honey. Got to work.

Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I thought you were doing some Barkley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
But also like the way that it was done was super sketchy right where it's like we're just gonna Give him to the Lakers and we're not gonna let anyone else know that maybe he's on the market And maybe we could get a better deal He's just gonna go to one of the most popular franchises in the history of the league It really is a staggering kind of justification like have you looked at him I
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
That's basically what they said. The Mavs should have leaked the trade to NBA Central, like a fake Twitter account, just to gauge reaction. To the slow report. The slow report. Someone puts it out there. They see the internet's like, how could you do this? And they go, you know what, maybe we're not going to do this trade. Nico has to regret it, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I know we did this last week, but do you think if Truth Serum, would he take it back right now if you gave him the chance?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
They're chanting, thank you, Nico. Oh, that's gotta hurt. As he's oogling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
Yeah, it was. So this nice guy thing's just a bit on air? I guess. You're a monster behind me. I mean, they're a bunch of short-sighted morons.

Where were we? We're talking about Nico and the job, right? We were talking about him eating sunglasses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
The audience is like, what are you in?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
We're not going to leap on his neck, Dan. You're not even in the main top cast part. You've got to click on full cast to see your name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
That impresses me more. I don't know why, but that one impresses me more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
That one you're in top cast. Way more lines. Does he have a character name? This one stars the dad from That's So Raven.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
Wow! I don't think that did what you wanted it to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I mean, it's insane. But can you just text him? Because he's not here today. Are we going to drag this out for 40 minutes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
We did, like hundreds of people in line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
Seems like a classic Greg Cody thing. Because he got out of yesterday's show early to go to his surgery. I texted him, how was your surgery? Did you get to keep the thing in your stomach? Those are the two questions I texted him this morning. He wrote, yesterday was my pre-op appointment with the doctor who will do the surgery. The surgery itself is scheduled for April 14th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
But then he says, yes, they will not remove any body parts. Basically, there is a hole that the intestine is popping through. what they would do is push the intestine back in and seal the hole with a mesh screen. So there will be nothing. That's one of the more disgusting things I've ever read.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
But him speaking good today is not good for any of us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
American Ninja Warrior again. I'm surprised. I thought that the way this would be played was you would tell us that was just your first of many characters as a thespian.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
The character of failing on American Ninja Warrior.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I thought you were talking about wild Bill Cody for a second. Oh, wild Bill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
Yeah, I hope it went well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
You didn't check on him?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I feel like I would have heard by now. Why would you? Your dad was having surgery yesterday. You didn't think to check on him? It was outpatient surgery. Wait, first of all, I recorded with him yesterday evening, so I think he's fine. You didn't? Wait.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I remembered that he went there after the show. I just talked to him later.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
All right, fine. I'll wear this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
That's another good question. Of course. Got to put it in a jar. What did you record about? Wait a minute. Top 100 guests in Greg Cody Show history. He can't take a day off. He had surgery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
He's always loopy, so nothing was different. It might have been the Miller Lights, might have been the surgery. You never know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
He's not renting anything. That guy owns. People rent from Wilbon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
It makes sense. Does anyone feel bad for Nico? Because I know we're going to do this thing. We're going to take a victory lap today. There's video of him, like, oogling Luca during warm-ups.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I think it's oogling. Googling. Oogle. You can oogle someone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I'm oogling you right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
What is the word? It's ogling, is it not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
Yeah, I mean, if I said it, it's probably wrong. Like, what are we doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
No, he's right. Ogling. I meant ogling. No, I want you. You guys did this yesterday with a word. I'm not the only one that does this. It's a tomato-tomato situation. Yes, I'm defensive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
He's looking. He's looking over with his arms folded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
There we go. What's the word you use when you're looking at an ex-girlfriend's Instagram page? What am I doing? Creeping.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
Okay, well that's what he's doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
That's lurking. Okay, but that's. But if you're standing still. That's the creep from the SNL song, Do the Creep. Do the Creep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I think it was called The Creep. Oh, damn it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
That's lurking. There's a longing in that look. Longing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
I don't want to yearn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
We should just say, what is Nico doing to Luca and put a bunch of options on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I'm Here, I've Lived, How About You?
In general, I do.

At that point, I don't give a shit. Oh. All right, very good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Don Levitard. Quiet man. Yes. You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife, despite that gratuitous line back in my day. Stugatz. I wish you were here, my wife. I really miss her. No, I don't. That's the thing about being married. You know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

All right. All right. We'll see you. All right, and then, you know, I'm going to see her in two days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Yeah, good question. What's used to grind them? A pencil sharpener. A mortar? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I don't know. I've never ground a bone. Really? No? That's surprising.

Want to earn, not want to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Guy don't want to earn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I thought everybody knew that. Guy don't want to learn. Guy don't want to earn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Guy don't want to earn, guy don't want to learn. Guy don't want to learn, guy don't want to earn. You're just saying it more. It's not helping. No, he's right. It's helping me. It means, and I know it's guy, but it applies to women as well. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Guy don't want to earn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
It means you're not working hard. You got to want to earn. Got to want to learn. Got to want to earn. And it's a play on earn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Yeah. Classic 2-2-2 situation. Right. When I hear a word that has another meaning to it or a pun can be created.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
No, it's true. Somebody says he's got a lot of pride. I'm going to make a Charlie Pride joke. I can't help myself. That a boy. Okay.

Yeah, big teeth. Horse teeth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I wouldn't say bored. I think the fact that – and I don't mean to be a jingoist. The fact that he is not from the United States, the fact that he's not playing in Boston or Denver or Boston or New York or L.A., I think that factors in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I'm not sure. He could quit tomorrow and train horses for a living.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Careful. Are you mocking the kids after you dunk on them? Oh, he has to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
That's unfortunate. Very disappointing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I need to know. I need to know. Jordan Rogers.

Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Don Levatard. What do I got here? I got a Magnum condom. Um, we won't get that out. That's shocking. Stugatz. Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
It depends on what kind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Really? It tastes like soup?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Oh, no, that sounds awful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Some things are sacred, and soup is one of them. I mean, what are you doing? I make a great turkey soup. Oh, I can't imagine. I decarcass the whole bit. Can you talk about your candy? Are you just going to go on a spiel about your soup? I want my candy to taste like candy. Imagine that. If it tastes like anything other than candy, it's not candy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
I do like old man candy. Old man hard candy like the Werther's. Oh, those are good. Those are great. Those are fantastic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
You know what? I got teeth in my head. My... My dentist, he retired. McGillicuddy? He told me that I will die with these teeth in my head. That guy wouldn't shut up, by the way. I have some of the best gums ever made. And teeth? Gum-teeth combo? I have a gum situation that's A1.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Right. Like a friend of mine just a couple of years older than me just has dentures now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Name names. And that's never going to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
No, they won't fall out. Because of the gums or because of the teeth? Because of the gums. Ah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Yes, I have lifetime teeth. When you're cremated, do the teeth survive that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Yeah, that's correct. You have to put it before you put the ashes in like an urn. You have to put it through a sieve. Like you'd put spaghetti in a colander.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Guy Don't Wanna Urn (feat. Katie Nolan)
Wow. You hang out with some weird people. And did what with them? Spread them on the field?

The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
You can't keep up, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I don't want to. I really don't want to grandfather this, but I just I do want to ask. I don't want to sit here and be syrupy about nostalgic, romantic times that didn't exist. I don't want to be pastoral or precious about football. But when you tell me the college football national championship feels like an NFL stadium. That doesn't sound right to me. And maybe it doesn't matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Maybe at the altar of capitalism we sacrifice all things. And so the atmosphere at the stadium, the energy, none of it matters because all that matters is what's televised.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
What I would say to all of you is that if I took Notre Dame's fan base and threw it against most major cities, they would be able to handle that party in a way that would be a lifetime party. Like, I don't know what happened, but to me, what you're describing, I've been to national championship games and they do have a corporate feel, more antiseptic, going way back. But for you guys to be...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
to be to love college football this way at least in part because of those atmospheres how corporate was like what's this video that i'm tossing to here lucy is it a celebration of the sport is punctuation or is it you walking through a strip mall sad because the corporate sponsors have bought everything
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Really? And it was awesome. This is what you did with the expense account. You went to the aquarium with Rose instead of going to the national championship game. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
You know that sound. It's the sound of money hitting your Venmo account, a friend paying you back, or maybe it's getting cash back from your favorite business when you pay with the Venmo debit card, or realizing you can pay with Venmo at checkout at thousands of brands. Now, there are so many more ways to answer the question, what's your Venmo? Download Venmo today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
All right, we've got a problem on our hands. She's a rising star and diva, and so she goes to these things, and she just spends a bunch of money and goes to an aquarium. And the world of Coke. Yeah, being outraged by that as a frivolous expense on behalf of the company, us funding her and Rose just doing things together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Not at all. I knew it wouldn't be. It is a rare, rare thing to have something be truly, truly shocking and then, yeah, not surprising. Not surprised. Lucy, I can't handle what's going on. You're coming now between the money, between corporate. Metal Ark would like to have a good relationship with Venmo. Venmo would like to be supporting a fine bucket that is working because it accrues money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Greg Cody hasn't paid his fines. He owes $11 or $12 from the other day. I have now installed Venmo, and I will historically make my payment as soon as you guys tell me the handle. I need the handle. I don't know where I'm sending this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
The installation? No, I told you already. Valerie installed it for me. Oh, she did it. Okay, good. Sorry. I've never used Venmo before. I know you're there for me to make fun of me at any time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I was just wondering. It's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It is very easy. We all know how to do it. It's super easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Just to make sure it's working. A dollar. We're not allowed to say what the handle is on the air. 1-800-STUGATS. Let's do that. That's the Venmo number. Stugats, get on that right now. Okay. Buy that. All right. Make sure to buy before somebody else does. It's too late. 1-800-STUGATS.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Are we still doing 1-800 numbers? Lucy and Chris, where are we with the Venmo fine bucket, which right now doesn't have money in it, and I would like for people to start paying their fines. Lucy killed a person on air, owes $50, refuses to pay it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Did we partner, or did we pardon her? Did we partner with Venmo, or did we pardon her with Venmo?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Topical joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That would not go well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
A whole day? No, you'd have to have a phone call between them, a soul-bearing conversation to see if there can be any connection. They're not going to be in each other's presence for a day. That's very harsh. Lucy, Lucy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Okay, hold on a second. I have a question about this relationship with Emily. Did she block you before you did stuff like this on air? Because I think an argument can be made that you are more of a bully to Emily than she ever was to you by publicly shaming her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
You would never cyber bully. That was something. And we can't trust anything you say. It's why you're a rising star in this business, because it's disinformation. And then you go and do things at the national championship game that aren't about the national championship.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
OK, excellent. So we're negotiating down on this one. Do you have something else here? I don't think it's for Lucy to decide, but I guess she like, how does this work? Because I the audience is deciding.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Chris, you and me know, like very few people, except perhaps your mother, Greg Cody's wife. how stubborn he is about admitting when he is wrong. Greg Cody just muttered under his breath in a shocking statement I could not believe that I was hearing out loud. Yeah, Martin Short, I think I'm full of shit on that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Is it eight or nine? Because those are the Creed movies, too, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That counts. Her life was on the line, Dan. Steve Irwin died that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
We are going to have to negotiate this off air. Another disaster. We do not know how to take care of our sponsors on anything. It's a rambunctious group of people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That... You wouldn't believe. It's just ridiculous. What a stinger that one had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
So Lucy did the first part of the challenge. Check off that for putting your life on the line with the stingray. What's next?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
What a stinger that one had. I enjoyed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I had such a great moment yesterday, Dan, that you would love speaking of bookstores, that it was like the most genuine and honest moment that was the least surprising thing ever, where we were in the commissary over there, and Taylor walks up to Stu Gatz and goes, Stu Gatz, congratulations, audiobook's out today. He goes, it is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Had no clue that his audio book was out. Wasn't expecting it, to be honest with you. It has been a stunning thing to witness next to him, him just taking everything for granted and still cashing in. It is a marvel. It's one of the best jokes ever told. I forgot about the date.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I could not believe he had no idea it was the release date for his own audio book.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Billy? It's the joke that keeps on giving, because I would say, in general, Stu Gatz publishing a book, the starting point on that is, my God, what a magical gift. Taylor wandering in and finding out that he's not only not read his own book, but couldn't be bothered to do the audio book in time for the first time in Random House history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
And because he couldn't be paid to even read his own book that many of us wrote for him. And for that to be a cash cow is an amazing gift and an amazing grift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I had to read it. The audiobook is out. So finally, they cornered Stugatz. This was supposed to come out when the book came out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
They were supposed to happen simultaneously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I mean, isn't it obvious?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Stephen King's going to shoot you or something. You cannot be putting out these author secrets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Billy, I will tell you that we have done very few things better than have Greg Cody and Stu Gott be vigilant protectors of the written word in 2025. Caretakers for written causes in 2025. You have two wonderful soldiers here, literate people, keeping bookstores and reading alive. Not... Not like your parents or grandparents did it in an old-fashioned book.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Only in a book that you can hold in your hands in the bathroom. But also available by Kindle if you want to read it that way. Available in all the ways that you get books. I've seen them in Canada. Stugatz's book has genuine giant distribution. Some people sent us books from a grocery store somewhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Stu Gantz and Greg Cody protecting the written word.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I mean, they're not, though. They're betraying the written word. They've called it a grift themselves. You guys are like the magicians that go and reveal the secrets on TikTok.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It's not Greg. I want Greg to distance himself from this. They are live streaming the grift right now. Stugatzbook.com. He's giving you play-by-play on how it telestrates. What's special about the special edition? I said it's special.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Off of the news? Well, they might get Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler came out yesterday wearing Phoenix Suns sneakers. It is the lamest escalation of these things that there has ever been. Tripling down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Did the Suns, like, acquire a bunch of first-round picks? Yeah. Like, the Heat don't trade for picks. They don't value picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Let's do this, though, because I know everyone listening to this is good and tired of stop talking to me about a 35-year-old malcontent from Miami who can't get joy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That's what he is. He does some of that. Okay, it's not my fault. But why are you now full of shit?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
From playing for $40 and $50 million a year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
He nailed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
The Jimmy Butler parts of the story, though, the one part that I would say now graduates to interesting to me, right? Not the silly pettiness is once you get to Stugatz, it's pretty rare. the owner needs to meet. Like you've got to bypass Riley because now we're going to go talk to the owner about like, how do we figure out what works here? Bradley Beal's got a no trade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
You can hammer us from every angle if you wish to make this messy. But this part to me, is where I take the information that Jeremy is giving me about super awkward locker room now, where all the other players know they have this thing that used to be running the team. We were all good when that conflict was running the team and the fuel to the team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But then when Bam and Hero get more of the team and he doesn't like that so much, more of the usage rate, now all of a sudden this is a really awkward workplace. And I dare say, outside of sports, A toxic one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I'm guessing that there's going to be a lot, like, that if we weren't in the world of sports, this would be a workplace right now that's awkward enough that it creates the following in a language only the people in that locker room would understand. on the court when you're losing to Portland that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Can you tell if Jimmy Butler is trying his hardest when he gets no free throws and doesn't get any steals? Are we really playing defense the way Jimmy Butler plays defense when he cares the most? And do you bench that if you're supposed to make more of a scene because you're gonna make this work? Because we can't tell if you're trying your hardest on every possession.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
or comparative to what it is you've done in the past. But your teammates can, and when you lose at home to that Portland team, Stu Gatz, an embarrassment of a Portland team. Yep, 15-28 now. But you lose at home, and you're giving up a bunch of points, and your credo is defense, and Jimmy Butler has played aggressive defense for four years when he really cares about playing defense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Can you tell if he's trying his hardest when I've lived long enough to see a whole bunch of people watch LeBron James at the end of his Cavs career, see him get a triple-double in a loss against the Celtics in the playoffs, and say he quit in the game because he can put up the numbers any damn way because he's that good, and trick you into believing that he's playing as hard as he can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
The Miami Heat still don't believe Stugatz. That last Spurs final, Where the Heat got blown out by the Spurs and LeBron had good numbers, the Heat don't believe he was trying his hardest in that series to win that series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Do you think you can tell? To me, that's the...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Well, have you seen him in the Canada Pavilion at Epcot Center in Disney World? I have not, no. Oh, my God. He takes you on a tour. It's 360 degrees around you. It's great. I think that maybe they removed that. But it was a 360-degree thing. You'd see Niagara Falls, everything. Is that the Ellen thing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It's not just that, though. This is the part that gets lost in the noise of the day when the Celtics run away. When you're right there with the Celtics, When and how were you right there with the Celtics?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
When you played a style of basketball led by Jimmy Butler that they're going to get 19 deflections in the first half on your passes because they're playing regular season basketball like if it matters. And it's going to be super precise basketball. How are they winning?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It's 23 free throws and these guys are hitting from three and they're doing it with no margin for error because they're not all that good. They're all overachieving. And so that's the way they got to win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
But if Jimmy's not trying like that, what I'm saying to you is that's not perceptible to our human eye. Like, not to most of the people analyzing this. And that's where it gets super interesting on if you're already in a workplace where you think the guy next to you isn't working as hard as he can because you're all playing for your...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
for each other's careers and your money and all of the things that make up team, that you're business partners with Jimmy Butler. He's bleeping with everybody's money. Like even if it's guaranteed money, the workplace is filled with all we care about is let's make that money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Is it Ellen now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That was different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
It's not the antithesis. Heat culture birthed all of this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Guys, the result of the last 15 years is Jimmy Butler's better than he's ever been, the Miami Heat profited greatly, and these breakups are super messy, and now it's in their locker room in the way that's an infection, and Jimmy control with sneakers, and Pat Riley must be like, you clown. Like, this is how you disrespect everything we did together when it was really hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
He has, yes. He has succeeded. Winning the championship is not the only measure. Greg, I never thought I'd see Jimmy Butler be the best player on a team that went to the NBA Finals ever. I don't want to talk about it anymore either, actually, because I understand where it is that we make this stuff weary. But don't disrespect the last five years like you did Martin Short. Don't, don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Is Martin Short an immortal? Juju, put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Like, greatness is hard to achieve, okay? They were right there with the Celtics. It's really hard to be at the top of a conference for five years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Okay, to almost achieve. Fine. To Greg Cody's standards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Awards are the key. You know, he's invited to the dance, but no one wants to actually see him dance. I would like a personal record book of entertainment with Stugatz who actually deserves the Oscars and who doesn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Well, speaking of that, Stugatz, I don't know. I'm assuming you don't watch Only Murders in the Building. No, I don't watch it. Well, you know who's been in the last two seasons of Only Murders in the Building? Nominated a bunch of times, never winning anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Venmo MasterCard is issued by the Bancorp Bank N.A., pursuant to license by MasterCard International Incorporated. Dosh cash back terms apply.

Meryl? Yeah, Meryl. And guess who she's dating on the show? Who? Martin. Are they in real life for real?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Dan, did you hear that? That can't be. What's Tinseltown telling you, Dano?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I don't want to offend anyone in Hollywood. I'll keep my opinions to myself on that. I am happy that we have found Lucy. She has returned from the national championship. I am told, and I don't know, I don't want to pit Lucy against Jessica here. But somebody's got to break the news spoken out loud of who cut this TSA line. What media member cut this TSA line? Because I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Jessica wasn't willing to smoke the person out in shame, but did say that we would all know who the person was. Lucy, do you know who the person was?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Oh, right this way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
All right, Lucy, that's aggressive language. Lucy, I think you have you been to Hartsfield? I think. you and Jessica are reporting nationally total shit show. That's what you're reporting. Just enormous shit show. Commerce comes to college football. Corporate comes to college football. Shit show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
No, that's not good enough. It's not good enough. At least give us some hints here on who we can shame, who we can chase as a line cutter. and a security risk to all of us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
What? Okay. I'll give you a hint. All right, I'll take the hint, but this is awful. Like, the fact that you guys won't get as closer to the truth as media members is why people hate the media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
They never act like that. White men?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
He does. He takes the line seriously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Chris Cody, I insist right now that you take that back. Thank you. I have to apologize. Chris, you will not disrespect the honor. Trevor Maddich would never. I had no idea. Yeah. Would never cut a line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Nobody. Nobody. He'll keep everyone else in line. That would never happen on Trevor Maddich's watch. Never. No one would cut a line. You wouldn't have all of these prepubescent Lucys running around in the media. What? I don't know if you're allowed to call me prepubescent. I'm doing it through Trevor Maddox's eyes. Well, I don't know if he's allowed to call me that either. How bad was it?

Is this the DJ complaint that Jessica was making? How bad was this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
Are we that show now? Does this sound bad to people? The idea of you get to go to the championship game, but it becomes such a logistics nightmare that even Jessica, who's going to celebrate her team, might have had a bad time, even if that team had won, just because of how everything outside of the game felt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
I think Jessica could win a political campaign on the slogan, more bartenders per capita. How was the energy? Lucy, we've sent you to some bad ones, right? We've sent you to some atmospheres that get corporate and that some of the soul of college football gets lost because the higher you get to the money, the colder some of these things can be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Tebow flying commercial. Put it on the poll. Funnier. At Levitard Show, marching bands. Do you love marching bands? I'm assuming, forgive me for this, because I'm guessing that Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreet go wherever they want in whatever city they're in, right? That's a whole other class of people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Lucy's Trip to the CFB National Championship
That's a whole other class of flying. You guys are talking about media members you're looking to shame who aren't actually from the top of the food chain in media. You guys are looking to smoke out somebody who's not a power broker. Like Joel Klatt.

Well, let me ask the people here if they've seen snow in Florida before, because I think this is a really rare weather event. I'm not used to seeing beaches in Florida, Destin. where you're used to seeing sand there. Instead, there is snow over the sand. Is that something that's been seen? I'm 50, and I remember people talking about snow in the 70s in Florida.

Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
Okay, but was it this?

Are we just shrugging our shoulders on the idea of it's a bit apocalyptic when it's snowing in Florida? Like that's not a thing that's normal.

Shadow in it. Shadow in it. Stugatz, I've got a problem today. What happened? Greg Cody is in, and I want to spend four hours talking about his shirt, because he's wearing the same shirt he was wearing last time, and he looks good in his shirt, and his wife should buy a dozen of them for him. All different colors because he shouldn't wear anything but this shirt for the rest of his life.

Come on. Let's go. They gave you some music. You said you wanted to be a hype man. Yeah. You said you got your phrases. Just stay with us here. The music will be here the entire time.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You get in wherever you want. You pick the spots to get in just like that. With whatever line you want.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
But Jessica, I have heard, and I don't know if what I'm about to say is so, but just from a couple of people who said to me, hey, the National Championship game was played Monday night. I'm like, yeah, Ohio State, Notre Dame, it was a giant game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
And they're like, but it feels like the championship got spent on the way to the championship when we were all gorging a bunch of football games at a time, and that the National Championship game between two giant powers somehow escaped some attention spans in sports that are really spread thin? And you know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
I don't understand why it is that people wouldn't just see that as a giant game. And that's it. It's always been a giant game. That game played. I don't care how much sports is going on around you. The championship of college football is the biggest of things every year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And he knows it, and so he's wearing it all over the place.

Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
Thank you. Well, thank you, Billy, for the way that you expressed that because the request I'm going to make of you is this. It is rare in 20 years as we celebrate our 20th anniversary that I come in here and I see Billy in bucking bronco form. He's got a sports topic in his teeth and he's screaming at a room full of people about Billy Wagner and the Hall of Fame.

Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
So you guys realize that what you're saying really is that the end of the college football season has now become to you, I'm tired of football. This is the last one. I'm kind of sad. Yeah, it's for the championship. But my God, what a holiday smorgasbord of gorging on football. And at the very end, I've just got like the feeling after Thanksgiving of I'm burpy and farty. I don't feel so good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
And okay, thank you, football. Go away until next season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
So this is why I think, though, and I'd like to see what the numbers are because I'm sure of it. I'm sure that we are expressing – I'm hearing you guys talk, and I'm like, what are you talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote is a Natural Hype Man
And I'm hearing when friends of mine are saying, hey, the championship was played as if there's so much sports going on all the time that, of course, the NBA regular season is now less important than it's ever been, even if you care deeply about the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I swear to you, I can't. See, she said achoo. She does say achoo, and I thought that was the exclusive domain of older women. I did not think that achoo, spoken cleanly, was a young person thing. Jessica, what other things about you other than your love of Columbo are just an ancient woman existing inside of you? And we'll get to Billy's thoughts on reinventing jail in a moment.

Well, okay, but Steve Martin's career is he was the best stand-up comic in the world and then left in his 30s because he just wanted to do other things and then did all of the other things and now teams up with Martin Short.

I think a lot of people are connecting with you. I will say, I want to tell everybody here, the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody will give you coughs.

I think women's college basketball is easier to follow. I think they do a better job of marketing their stars. And also, there's fewer teams that have a legit chance to win the championship. And they're actually, I think, fairly covered well.

Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
uh in the sport it's it's unavoidable if you follow sports to know exactly what South Carolina is doing what Juju Watkins is doing what what the top upper echelon of stars are doing in that sport whereas college basketball feels a little bit more random you know the Cooper flags of the world but the teams that have a real chance it's it's you know there's there's just more of them so I for that reason I can kind of tangentially follow women's college basketball much easier than I can follow the men's game

Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Is it a great quote? Very succinct. Dad, if your eyes are clearly open but just being blocked by a piece of paper, that's looking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Dad, this is very exciting. I've been wanting to get to this all show. Dan's still ashamed of that last segment, so he's not back yet. Yeah, should be. You had on your list of topics today top five teams you're watching in the tournament. Yes. It's not your top five teams, but just teams you're interested in watching. Explain this process to us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
That's not worth looking at. Don't Look Now is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. That's what I said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Looky Here is what you want to play? Yeah, Looky Here. I actually don't hate it. Let's flesh it out. What do you mean? Looky here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Got to come up with topics, though, Dad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Yeah. All right, let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Stop saying it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
Got my eye on them, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
We're back, Dan. Rough couple minutes, but we're back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Greg Cote's Equine Nostrils (feat. Iliza Shlesinger)
There it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It would take a lot to make me stand down. I'm not saying that I stood down.

The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Laugh-in for the uninitiated is a 1960s comedy television show. 1970s, maybe? 1970s. Groundbreaking. 1970s. Please stop doing that. Rowan and Martin. Do you ever talk about Seinfeld or Cheers? Tony? Those are just as old. Okay, educate yourselves. No, no, no. Yes. No, Laugh-in is 20 years old. 20 years earlier than those. Laughing is like one of the original television comedies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
is that I just heard Greg Cody and Chris Cody have a conversation in which the following was revealed. And I want to know, at what age will Chris Cody stop doing what I'm about to say, okay? At what age will he be as a son before he stops doing this to his father?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
All right. It started in 1968. I'm asking you to eradicate it from your lexicon or update your lexicon. Let's do top five. Chris Cody, get the fanfare ready. Top five grossest things David Sampson has gotten in one of those end game reports. Number five, David.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
It's sticky brown disgusting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
All right. So Sticky Brown. And when you said number two there, were you saying your number two or were you saying your number two in the rankings?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Yeah, barf is worse than that, yeah. It was their fault was unnecessary. Foul ball. And a quick settlement. What, did you just walk up and write a check for four grand and be like, sorry, and then that person left with blood all over the check?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
His father likes to dictate into the phone instead of texting, just a note to his wife or whomever, hey, I'm going to stop by and grab some avocados, period. And his son shouts from the distance, cock balls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Well, what was the settlement? I need to hear mine. Like, why did you offer up it was their fault they were in the phone?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Okay, I wanna play this game. Let's play this game. Come up, I want you guys to give me some scenarios here and then just have him say, here's a Mike Lowell bobblehead. That's what you get. Open the bidding because what's happening here is so wrong. Like he's saying somebody did something and made a negotiation point that was unreasonable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
My thinking is that person is probably more reasonable than David. getting there, trying to immediately negotiate with a bobblehead while that person hemorrhages from the head hit with a screaming line drive and wasn't prepared for a negotiation that arrived with settlement to life. A person who is to be taken advantage of bleeding from the face and David's there with $5,000.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
to see if it picks it up and it does sometimes and it's a it's a laugh riot when it does okay and so my question to you is how when will chris stop doing that like when is that that's off limits at some age is it not i assume only when his heart stops beating i think that a cock balls joke that can go all the way to 120 this guy easy david gets it i don't mind it
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
What are you saying is unreasonable in that circumstance?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Don Libetard. You don't remember the idea for a home run call?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I can't help, OK, but betray one of our colleagues here. And I regret that I'm doing this, but I can't unsee it right now because Tony's been shaking his head the entirety of this segment, like genuinely, seemingly appalled at how clinically cutthroat you are about not being human. But I read his lips a second ago and I don't know who he's talking to. But he said, I saw it, evil. The word evil.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Like, who are you talking to back there, Tony? Because the entire time, that would have been good on air, but I saw it off air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I want you to imagine 9,000 fans are there and somebody comes out with a piece of bat in their arm, impaled, bleeding, scared.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
How about that? 14-year-old kid and he's like, hey, you want a Miguel Rojas ball, kid?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Like you would with a three-year-old that misbehaves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
That's the gold standard, right? That would be. As a practical joke, the best thing is that he didn't hear it. His timing was off, and at exactly that moment, he sends it, and he embarrasses himself sending a text to Pat Riley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Baseball began yesterday. Billy Gill complains and says it's fake baseball. We have not talked about that at all. Is there anything worth talking about? The Dodgers win both games. The Dodgers unlikely to lose all season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Before you were on with us, I think you would have found blasphemous and hurtful some of the things that Mike Ryan was saying about his appraisal of Lone Depot Park as a baseball park. And I just like for him to say them to your face because
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
David, just before we get to your review from the week, I feel like I can say this without being prisoner of the moment and even understanding. Mookie Betts and Freeman might get hurt. You never know who's going to get injured. This is the best roster ever assembled, correct? This is the best team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
When you put an over-under at 104.5, that people are going to just assume you're going to win 100 games, there's never been anything like this, correct? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
But I'm not I'm not talking about injury. I'm talking about when you can go through 10 pitchers like that, when you're when your bullpen arms are going to get you from five through nine because you're stronger there than everyone to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
That scene was just written for him, though, meant to be more and more absurd. Like, they coaxed him into doing that based on just writing what Mike is describing as... Mike just compared that monologue, ridiculous, to the greats of all time in the history of cinema. It's pitch perfect.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
But regardless, I'm going to let you go now, David, because you wanted some time on your review and we do not have that time. So I want to make sure that we get that time next time. So just save that review. I want to make fun of Greg Cody for a couple of minutes. Thank you for being on with us. We appreciate it. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Nothing personal is the name of the podcast. And I just want to address something here that happened during that segment where I had a private conversation with Chris Cody as everything was happening, because I'm just fascinated still after all these years by his father. Greg knows it's not funny. Like, he knows before he says that it's not funny to say, and what would this penalty be?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Would I get to bat cleanup during a game? Like, he knows aggressively that that's not funny. His comedic judgment my entire lifetime has been better than that. But he cannot help himself. And so he has to get out there with what he knows to be just a shitty joke that we're all just going to stare at him and be like, all right, Greg, you know better than that. You know that joke's not any good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Look, Chris, this is the reason that I bring it up with you, okay? I believe it is totally 100% fair criticism from our audience that both you and I are too hard on your father. It's absolutely fair. But he knew before he said it that joke was shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
There's just no way. Let's see. Let's get a bat. I want to see. We have a bat here, actually. I want to see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Here, we've got a bat. Here, you close this segment. You get in a stance. Camera people, get ready. Here we go. All visual. This is all going to be visual. I don't feel safe in here. I'm going to leave. It's a normal-sized bat. MLB bat there. He's alleging that he has bad speed. We're going to get you near a microphone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Please, not next to the giant screen. Yeah, let's not do this. He can't hear me, Dan. Tell him to stop. I don't feel safe with any of this. I don't feel safe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Greg Cody had an opinion here, though, that he wasn't allowed to express.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I thought the food was good. I thought the food. Has it gone down in the last two and a half years?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
But you called it a bleep hole. You did call it Lone Depot Park. Oh, yeah. I called it a hole.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Let's get into what Greg Cody was saying here before we get into the topics of the day. Greg was saying that Bruce Sherman is the cheapest owner in all of sports. Does he have that right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
But they have a floor, don't they? Like, when all of this is bargained, right, David? Like, what he's saying there, you wouldn't stand for it. They do stand for it. It was negotiated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Do you take some sort of weird devilish satisfaction being in the middle of the idea that you helped ruin the business down here because they can't afford anything because they spent too much buying the team from you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
By how much? By $300 million? By $400 million? How much did they overpay? By something that would make for a nice payroll if they were spending it there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
David Sampson is here from Nothing Personal. He is doing it every day. It continues to grow. And he covers a ton of stuff that I do not see other people in sports covering. So you should check out Nothing Personal. We have a number of things to talk to you about, David. But I guess the place that I should start...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Well, because they were maligned, which means unfairly criticized.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Okay, they ended their regular season, the playoff ACC, by almost beating a great Duke team. How did West Virginia end their season?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
They're going to make a run. UNC is going to make a big, long run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Yeah, on my podcast, it's a March Madness celebration in which we don't talk about college basketball at all. But I have my Mount Gregmore, which is a top five, a final five in the categories marches, brackets, baskets and balls. And in the balls section, unavoidably, one of the top five was sports balls, just sports balls in general. And so Christopher asked me, what's your favorite sports ball?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Don Levitard. I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I think when people think of Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Buffett, I say that all the time, Jimmy Butler in Miami, they're going to think of the burned bridge, which is still smoldering. And then they're going to think, You know what? Jimmy Butler was right after all, because he's so fit for that role in Golden State where he doesn't have to be the best player anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
He did have to be the best player in Miami. And although he had a fairly successful run here, it wasn't ultimately successful. And the Heat failed to make him the second best player on the team. And they're still looking for an elite player who's going to be the best player on the team because it's not Bam and it's not Hero and it wasn't Jimmy Butler. That's the problem with the Heat right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
And I mentioned that for many years of my life, it was a tennis ball because I played a lot of tennis. I love tennis. I was pretty good at it, I thought. And then I casually mentioned that you and I used to play. But I couldn't remember how often we played. Like I said, we used to play regularly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
They're stagnating without a premier player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I know we played several times, but I couldn't remember whether it was how periodic it was or anything like that. So
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
And he claims, even though Dan has how many years younger? He claims you guys were even. That it was like, if you played 50 times, you won 25 and 25.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I think it's a clever slur. I mean, is he 65? How old is Barkley? I don't even know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
See, this is all great, though. It's great for everybody. It's great for all the networks involved, all the principals involved. Like I said the other day, controversy is good in almost every instance, particularly when you're speaking into a microphone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I also wouldn't assume genuine anger on either side. I think when these guys see each other, they're going to shake hands. They're going to have a little giggle. Hey, this was all a bit. You're a good guy. Clap each other on the back and move on. I don't think that they're really that angry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Roofball is like a thing. It went viral a few years ago. Roofball's sick. They've started leagues. Really? Yeah. I've never heard of it. Obviously not real leagues, but just people on the internet. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Well, but as the media, we have to do both, right? We have to acknowledge the new wave, and the NBA has a great young wave of stars right now, but people still want to talk about LeBron James. He's a unicorn. He's a one-of-a-kind, and we've done that across time with extraordinary athletes. We talked about... Tom Brady nonstop. We talked about Serena Williams even after she was past her prime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
We're still talking about Tiger Woods 15 years after his last major win. We do that because these are legendary figures in sports. Why wouldn't we talk about them? And LeBron James, since they added Doncic, that's a good team right now. It's a little bit of a renaissance for the Lakers, which is a major franchise. We always talk about the Yankees.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
We talk about big franchises and big players, and I don't apologize for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I am hearing of it for the first time, and my initial reaction is it's bad for the roof tiles. You know? I mean, that's why when you have your roof pressure cleaned, You got to be careful because somebody steps on tiles, they break, and then all of a sudden... Hey, kids, get off of my roof. Yeah, get off. You can be on my lawn, kids, but stay off of my roof.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Now that the window has closed on the voting for the top five marches, do you want to reveal the top five marches to this audience? You don't remember them, do you? I don't remember all five off the top of my head. You're the worst. I mean, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
No, it actually wasn't. Stunner. Okay, I can name the march. Ides of March. Were you there for it? The what? The Million Man March?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Oh, no. That would have been a good one, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I know two of them. You had March of 77 when you lost your virginity. Right. And then March of 2023 when you and I went to the Final Four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Right, which was a lovely father-son trip. One of them is Peggy March, little Peggy March, who had a great million-selling record in the 60s, I Will Follow Him. Wherever he will go. What were the other marches? Oh, the March in Selma, the mid-60s Selma March for Civil Rights. That was on there. And what was the missing march? Do you remember? Oh, John Philip Sousa's famous march.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
The all-time great musical march. So, it turns out the winning march, spoiler alert, was me losing my virginity. It won on a landslide.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Yeah, keep in mind, not that many years ago, five, seven years ago, I had a real problem with Norwegian roof rats. And that was an issue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I don't know, but I actually enjoyed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
What the hell is he doing at City Hall? Billy Corbin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
He's not voting on anything. Don't you understand Billy Corbin is South Florida's self-appointed watchdog, looking out over everything, protecting all of our rights. He's at City Hall waiting for some controversy to happen. Good for you, Billy. Keep it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I don't dislike Billy Corbin. He's you know, he has publicly disrespected me. And, you know, I think the human nature, I think all of us might agree. If somebody disrespects you and is against you, you tend not to like them a lot. And you tend to get your back up and say, are you going to call me this and this? I'm going to call you that and that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
It is funny how it couldn't be further away from politics, my dad's reason for hating Corbyn. It's all personal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
It's designed to be a baseball stadium. You can see the field from every spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
I'm not arguing that Lone Depot Park is a top whatever ballpark in all sports. I'm just saying we're being affected by how bad the Marlins are. If the Marlins were in the playoffs the last 10 years, we would feel differently about this ballpark. It's not a great park.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
What started this debate is there was a Google, Yelp, they kind of formulated all the reviews from all the stadiums in the NFL, NBA, and MLB, and they ranked 90 stadiums. And Kaseya Center, the Heats Arena, is a top 10 arena, according to reviews. And Lone Depot and Hard Rock were 62-63 out of 90.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Well, I was one of the few people in this market who was a proponent of... them building, getting that stadium built. And the difference between Corbin and I on this particular topic is that he thinks I should have been protecting the taxpayers of Miami-Dade by questioning the deal and how much money and who was paying this and how much taxes were going. And that's up to the politicians.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
My job as a sports columnist in this market, I think, in this case, was to be a proponent for the new stadium they needed to keep the team down here. They got it built. And that's actually, although it's a controversial one, that's actually the only positive legacy of sports. Laurie is time here as the primary owner, or at least it's the biggest one, along with one World Series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Well, when you say that expanded the team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
No, and I agree that looking back, there was malfeasance on the part of Miami and Miami-Dade politicians to get fleeced by Jeffrey Loria. Jeffrey Loria is a businessman and a pretty good one. His job is to get the best deal he can, and boy, did he.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
The sad state of the Marlins today is a whole different subject. Bruce Sherman's one of the worst owners in all of sports. He's spending one-third of what he needs to be spending just to compete. To not even compete. Right. The stadium itself... I think is very good. Looking at it from the macro, the retractable roof was a very smart idea, a necessary idea. It overlooks the Miami skyline.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
It's a very pretty vista when you're at that stadium. They don't fill it because they have a lousy team, because they don't spend, but that's 10 years, 15 years after the stadium.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
We're going for likable this morning, huh?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Well, I had mentioned that in the ball section, one of the five, spoiler alert, was sports balls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Where are all the critics now? Where are you, governor of West Virginia? How bad is North Carolina now? They kicked ass. They had a statement to make, and they made it in capital letters. Go Tar Heels. Who'd they make it against? You know, some team I'd never heard of. Never heard of them?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
Oh, San Diego State. Yeah, it was the UM Final Four where UM tanked and everybody else stayed good. They didn't tank intentionally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches
No, I mean, it's a play-in game is what I mean. But give North Carolina credit. Everybody maligns them saying they didn't deserve to be here. And they sort of made a statement for themselves. Good for them.

Alright, put it on the poll. Better three words. First and goal or fourth and goal. First and goal makes me happy. Fourth and goal makes me nervous. I know, but why are you only thinking offensively?

But he just said, under his breath, in a way that Andrew Hawkins agreed with, that made me feel like that is Stugatz in his prime, that is the best Stugatz can do in the giving of takes. He just said, Saturday nights used to mean something.

It's hard for me to just rail against him. He wants to be a billionaire. That's why he works that way. He wishes to be a billionaire.

That's fine. We're good. I think you wanna read some of the details of his past, but also some of it is just like, ah, the FBI got there before the NIL stuff.

Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
No, but I'm simply asking, I'm asking more, I'm not objecting to his take here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
But when you say toddler, I mean, he looked like Brad Williams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Er ist sehr liebenswert. Kevin Hart, ich weiß nicht, hat nichts bewirkt, wie viel er bewirkt hat, dass er alles verkaufen kann, weil man ihn liebt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Ich weiß nicht, dass viele Leute ihm sagen würden, dass du einer von... Ich meine, ich weiß nicht, ob Leute ihn in die höchsten von den hohen Klassen von Komedien, die andere Komedien respektieren, aber als Geschäftsmann kannst du die Argumentation machen, er ist der Beste, der jemals war, wenn es um Geld durch Komödie geht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Was he the first to sell out football stadiums as a comedian? He has absolutely mastered popularity, but I was surprised to see it turn this weekend. He's been this for a long time and has masked whatever is the greed of capitalism with enormous charm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
I mean, she has voiced, like a lot of people this weekend objected to Kevin Hart having to be a part of everything. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Ich wollte dich fragen, Hawk, über ein News-Item, das sich auf eine sehr, sehr späte Sportwoche erkannt hat. Shea Gilgis Alexander hat seinen Agenten verlassen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
So he's let go of his agent and this is the best team in the sport, best point differential in the sport. This is the worthiest challenger to the Boston Celtics and he's let go of his agent. And when he did that, I thought to myself, well, he doesn't need to give an agent a percentage of what will be a super max contract.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Because Oklahoma City has rigged the game so that they got the draft picks and they can lock them up and you can pay them more and it's going to be hard to get any free agents to ever do what, you know, Durant, Harden and Westbrook escaped from OKC. This guy could stay there for life and be paid supermax after supermax. What does he need an agent for? Can you answer that question for me?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Well, it's not 15 or 20 percent, but why give up 1 percent? Why give up any of it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Think about what the money is we're talking about. Because we've arrived at a place in sports where the numbers are so astronomical that what he's giving is, what is it, tens of millions of dollars that you'd be giving an agent on a Supermatch? Probably like more than 30 million bucks if he signs like a 300... I don't think it's 10%, but even if it's 5%, it's more than... It's a guaranteed deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
He needs a business manager though. He needs people. Because right now, I saw the other day, Steven A. Smith, they were discussing during a slow time face of basketball stuff and making the argument on behalf of Anthony Edwards and then talking about how a foreign player can't be the face of basketball. But if this player wins the championship this year, toppling the Celtics,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Er wird katapultieren. Und das ist das beste Team in der Liga. Und sie sind jung. Und sie werden ihn locken. Und er braucht keinen Agent. Und wenn er nicht getötet wird, können sie den Sport bald runten. Und es wird ein bisschen so fühlen, als wäre es aus dem Nichts gekommen. Nicht für Basketballer, natürlich. Aber sein Stardom ist noch nicht gekommen. Er ist basketballfamösisch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Er ist nicht wie jeder andere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
What a pro once didn't do it for you? Wenn wir darüber sprechen, was es ist, was die Liga erhält, würde ich mich interessieren, wie Shea Gilgis Alexander gestaltet wird, weil er eine ganze Wirtschaft ist. LeBron übernimmt diese Liga den jungen Leuten. Sie werden kämpfen für das, was noch bleibt von der Stardom und dem Geld und dem Sneaker-Power. Und er ist in der Linie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Wenn er ein Wettbewerb gewinnt... What has to happen next for you guys to be able to anoint him as something better than Anthony Edwards, something better than Luka, something better than the young stars in the league?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Das Team ist lustig und sie spielen in Interviews. Sie sind hauptsächlich jung. Sie verbinden sich mit einem anderen Publikum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Aber wer kann das entscheiden, wo es mit jungen Leuten zu tun hat?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Er hat nicht gesagt, dass er das nicht will. Er hat nur gesagt, dass Wemby das behandelt hat. Ich denke, er sagt, dass Wemby mehr darum kümmert, wie all das markiert wird. Ich denke nicht, dass Anthony Edwards so interessiert ist in einigen dieser Trappungen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Aber es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist, es ist,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Neun Tage noch. Billy, ich sah in diesem Segment auf dem Gesicht des Basketballs, dass wir uns irgendwie verletzt haben. Ich sah, dass du dich enttäuscht fühlst. War das ein Bowlingball? Was ist passiert?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Es ist eine große Überraschung für morgen. Was meinst du? Was ist hier passiert?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Is it something that has holes in it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
To get to the point that Stugatz is making there, though, because he does come from a time, as do I, three channels. Saturday Night is The Love Boat and Fantasy Island and then Saturday Night Live. Und Saturday Night Live war ein Geschenk, aber der Narnia-Skit ist der Original. Es ist fast der Original-Punkt, dass dieses Ding viral wird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Brunson, I've got a legitimate question. Is it and can it be a bowling ball if it doesn't have holes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
But is it a bowling ball if it doesn't have holes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Where do you finger it? It's just an orb. I will not respect Black History Month.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Du musst nicht mehr jemand sein, der es anschaut, wenn es passiert. Das ist, wo Late-Night-Television zerstört wurde. Du kannst es, wann auch immer du willst.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
There you go. Time now for Stugatz's weekend observations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
T.J. Sochi. The Stars didn't play in the last two Olympics, right? Patriotism is back. Patriotism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
We played some Patino sound yesterday from the locker room. Patino's back. He is back. So back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
You've been making fun of him having sex. Not anymore. For 10 years you've been doing it. I don't know how Patino got back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Not an All-Star game. Put that on the poll as well. If Dalton Connect is playing in your All-Star game, is it an All-Star game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
That was a take from the weekend, right? Did we all arrive there at the same time? At the same time now? Put it on the poll, Kevin Hart or Mr. Beast?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
I think Jessica's feelings just got hurt from how little effort you put into that fake laugh for her Mr. Beast joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Put it on the poll. Have you ever put the kids to bed at 11 am because you didn't know it was in Australia?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
I was here. You weren't. It's a federal holiday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Or any of the days before it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
That would be good for Roy to have there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Ich dachte, Lugano war Back-to-Back, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
Das ist eine gute Geschichte. Hawkins, nur kurz. Joe Bailey, Dolphins CEO. Er hat Mike Tomlin nicht gehören. Er hat Cam Cameron nicht gehören, weil Mike Tomlin zu Hip-Hop war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
He was hired by the Dolphins to do a national and international search for the next Dolphin CEO and he found him in the mirror and he named himself CEO of the Dolphins. That is the joke that he's making there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
David Sampson ist verrückt an uns, weil er heute da sein sollte. Und wir haben Darren Revelle eingeladen, um das Geschäft mit ihm zu machen. Aber jetzt müssen wir es canceln, weil Stu Gotts über seine Wochenende-Observationen verabschiedet ist. Er hat keine Chance, seine Wochenende-Observationen zu machen. Und er kommt in Ruhe. Das musst du verstehen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
He killed the interview.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Make Saturday Nights Great Again
It feels more like Kyle, but Kurt was also... It was Kurt. I think it was Kurt. I think it was Kurt. He didn't know who the second Bush was. I was pretty sure it didn't sound like Kyle. I was like, I think it's... But I wasn't sure it was Kurt either.

Jessica ist skeptisch. Ich glaube nicht, dass sie glaubt, dass du in alles, was du sagst, glaubst.

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.

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.

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?

I'll give him that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So let's look at this.

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.

I can't say it. I've tried saying it. I was like, hey, I have the sound to her and I can't say it. The Warner Palmers... Too many L's. You've made it one word. It should be Palmer. If it was Palmer, this would be way easier. Arnold Palmer. We should give him an animal name.

Nein, ich habe gerade gesagt, dass ich nicht... Es ist traurig, dass Tiger nicht gesehen wird. An diesem Punkt erwartest du ihn nicht, um zu gewinnen. Du erwartest ihn nicht, um zu competieren.

The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Oh, this while taking, I don't know, $17 billion in government subsidies for the last 10 years and his SpaceX stuff is exploding over Turks and Caicos and his businesses are kind of hurting right now. Is it possible to be in a position that he's in and govern any of those businesses correctly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
I'm not saying that he's great. I'm saying show me a quarterback with more upside than Zach Wilson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
He was. There has been no take that he's gotten more right than that one 10 years early. I miss that character. I don't know, Billy, where it is that Elon Musk is, but I would love at any point to see him again. I also miss Billy doing the Elon Musk impressions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
No, and they don't explode. And, you know, they change the way that they look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Okay, I don't know why it is you guys are doing this exactly in terms of disagreeing. I think Amin is generally right when he says that China has surpassed this automobile and they have a finer model, electrical model than Elon Musk does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
I'd like to do a review of Stugatz in 2018, talking about Elon Musk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
That is the thing. The names that are being thrown back at me are so sad. Well, that's because that's the class that Zach Wilson is in, unfortunately.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
You using shant there, you regret it, no?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
All right, put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is the person who uses the word shant an asshole? No. I'm just asking. What do you mean no? Leave it to the people. They'll decide.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
What's the word you'd like me to use? Because shant is the thing that I meet. When you go past tense shant, It just feels like a jerk move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
That's a terrible poll question. Stick with the original. He comes in here, tells us how to do our show. He just comes in, doesn't know who the Jets quarterback is. This is why we make you wait to talk, David. Come in and tell us that Elon Musk, he shan't be on his side on any other thing other than he makes tons of money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
But my point is, he's in that class, and he's probably the youngest guy with the biggest arm. You can't make the argument for any of these other people over having more upside than Zach Wilson. Gardner Minshew.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Yes, yes. Thank you, David. Thank you. Yes, the world's richest man makes a lot of money. He's good at that. Yes, that's correct. And also $17 billion in government subsidies in the last 10 years. He's good at that, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
And if you say the next five years, who can be better? But they're signing him to a one-year deal. I love it. Or this year. Okay, do it this year. Russell Wilson's going to be better this year. Okay, and I don't think you can say that for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

want to ask you guys yesterday i stumbled around this was this was bizarre of all the things that we got wrong yesterday this is high on the list i don't know if the seven words you can't say on television is still a thing or not but yesterday i stumbled around on the spanish word for boobs because i didn't think i could say one of those words and i don't know what standard i was using so let's put
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Put up the baseball cap here for the Texas Rangers. And we were talking about this right here. And is the seven words you can't use on television, is that still a thing, David? Network television.

In Mike McDaniel's offense, I think Zach Wilson could be just as good as Russell Wilson in this offense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Okay, so, okay, I did not know that. David, how does this happen? How is all of this...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
I saw Russell Wilson last year, and he wasn't good. In Mike McDaniel's offense? No, in a worse offense. Okay, that's my point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Okay, well, we have a picture of an A's hat that was used creatively here. We do not have the ability to immediately get up for you an angel's hat, but we do have the ass hat right here, which is a great insult.

David, Garrett Cole, the Yankee ace, they're paying him an awful lot of money or what used to be an awful lot of money in this sport. And now he's going out with Tommy John surgery again. And the human arm is not made to do that. I really don't know or understand the science of how it is that baseball continues to have arms like that break down when paying that much money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)

Billy, is he going to recommend, because the Marlins have Sandy cheap, is he going to recommend that the Marlins trade Sandy now because you don't want to start signing these guys long term?

I'm not saying Zach Wilson is good I'm saying of all these names that I have in front of me I get saying if I'm Mike McDaniel I get saying I'm looking at all these people I could do something with that that's all I'm saying it's not a terrible deal everyone's just like oh they shouldn't have signed Zach Wilson they should have signed blank all those names sad every single one of them so is he

Samson, what are you shaking your head about? What's the matter? You just want to get to today's show? You want to get to things today and I can't get control of the show? Is that the problem?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Just so that you guys know, I'm not in a position to make this particular correction, given that yesterday I confused Chanho Park and Hideo Nomo. But I think that David Sampson just confused Winston and Justin Fields. And you need to pay a fine for that because Jameis is not with the New York Jets. And that's not a mistake that you can make.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Well, I wanted to talk about Shaq for a second, and I wanted to talk more broadly with you and Amin, whether someone like Elon Musk, whether it's even possible to be running that many companies well, given what it actually takes to run a company. So Shaquille O'Neal obviously has a lot of different interests and Amin is in the tank for Shaq.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
Do you know how bad the takes had to be yesterday for us to be an hour into reviewing how bad the takes were? And no one's even mentioned Chris Cody saying he'd rather have Zach Wilson than Russell Wilson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
But Shaq cannot make this particular mistake when being an analyst who is keeping up with the times. Listen to Shaquille O'Neal talking about the Pistons and just having no idea what he's talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
And I ask the question sincerely, how much attention can he be paying attention to everything?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
I can't believe Shaq would be that uninformed. Check out a Sunday night college basketball watch party. Jesus, Chris.

What a sad conversation this Zach Wilson conversation is. It's so sad. Everyone coming at me on Twitter, oh, I'd rather have Minshew. I'd rather have Jameis. It's just the names that are getting thrown at me. It's not bad.

Not great. The other thing that's interesting about Detroit, and Monty Williams changed the entire salary structure for coaches there, got the highest paid job in the history of basketball, and was gone in a year. And everything got fixed as soon as he left. Like, that's nuts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: We Talked About an Asshat (feat. David Samson)
That part of the story is a total insanity because coaching salaries doubled based on what Monty Williams got for one year in Detroit.

No, he didn't side with him on Cookie Gate either. So now we're back to back on these. And now it's like, hmm, maybe there's motive, some are saying. You know, he went out there and he took shots at the Heat. He accused him of stealing his cookies. And now all of a sudden, he's on steroids.

But then I was also thinking if I print up 20,000 Gulf of America maps, I need to really be certain these are going to sell because that is an investment that is going to lead to me having 19,800 Gulf of America maps in a garage somewhere and a loss of $40,000 that I do not have.

billy they're buying them up like hot cakes man the thing then also is i was thinking i'm like well i'm not a cartographer right so like how do i go about making a map because how like the earth is the earth right like it's not like this isn't like a copy written thing where like if i just trace someone else's map they would know like you know what land masses look like more or less right unless like and here's the thing maybe there are cartographers that are out there that are like you know

I think on the opposite end, and it was another argument that we had yesterday, and it's kind of tied in here, was when we were talking about Laramie Tunsil, and the whole argument was basically like, well, no one really cares that he smoked weed now in 2025, right? And that's kind of where we are in sports. No one really cares if people test positive for PEDs and get suspended anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Today's Crew Fixes Yesterday's Show
i'm sure panthers fans care about it i mean but there's not the outrage like there's not the outrage like when manny ramirez got suspended or when like any of the bigger names in baseball got suspended like we're now 10 years removed from the shock value of oh the people that we really like use steroids and they're cheating and there's this purity in the sport now there's just kind of an assumption like maybe there's something going on there but like i don't care because like it's a sport i like so like

LeBron, even if something was going on there, is not going to get suspended for anything. It would be the biggest scandal in the history of this. It would be if it came out, which the NBA is not incentivized for it to ever come out. Sure. And that's why people don't really care to look into it because they're just like, eh, maybe everyone's doing it.

you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna add an extra little bump to Florida and see if then someone has this bump on their Florida and then they know that they're just copying my map. So these are all the thoughts that went through my head when I was like, you know what, I can get in on this grift and make like a quick buck and just get in and get out and just sell these maps.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But then I was like, there are a lot of downsides here that could lead to me having over 19,000 maps that I traced someone else's intellectual property land masses. And then I'm in a lawsuit for hundreds of thousands of dollars on fictitious maps just to get in on a grift. So I didn't do it.

Local Hour: Today's Crew Fixes Yesterday's Show
I didn't watch the show because there was no dissenting opinion yesterday. Like I got home and I was like, I guess just universally everyone thought this episode sucked. So I didn't watch it. I'm like, I'm going to watch season. I'm going to watch it eventually.

Local Hour: Today's Crew Fixes Yesterday's Show
But like when I got home and I had free time, I was like, am I going to dedicate 39 minutes to this that everyone was saying how bad it was? Like, why would I do that? No one loved it. And then I come in and I'm like, hold on a second. It was amazing. That is not the opinion at all.

And it sets it up with the characters, it sounds like. They've done flashbacks a bunch of times on this show. They have. Have you seen it or not? No, I haven't. You guys ruined it for me. I came in and I was like, this show is bad. Everybody thought it was bad.

Last night they went again, and Luka hasn't looked efficient or right in any of the games, but they're winning plenty just like Golden State is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Chris and JuJu's Loveline
I don't get to have it right on the Lakers. I thought they would immediately be the worst defense in the league if they had LeBron and Luke on the court at the same time. I don't get to be right on that one. I mean, I don't even understand how I'm that wrong on that one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Chris and JuJu's Loveline
I thought they would be the worst defense in the league, taking out Anthony Davis and replacing it with having Luca and LeBron on the court at the same time.

Juju, what are your thoughts on the conversation around Jimmy Butler and Golden State?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Chris and JuJu's Loveline
The Warriors are now sixth officially. Clippers were up by 23 last night. They've lost all four times they've played Phoenix. And if you're only looking at box scores, Podzemski has been better than Jimmy Butler. But don't tell anybody that, all right? Don't. Just keep making it about only Jimmy Butler. Let's update the polls in a second, but let's do Against the Spread.

Whodunit, been done before. The thing that I felt in the first episode, and I will let you guys speak to it, but the thing that I felt in the first episode that I legitimately have not felt since watching The Shield, which I believe to be one of the best television shows I've ever seen is,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Chris and JuJu's Loveline
Update the polls here for us, Juju. I've enjoyed the return of the polls, the return of the updates. You've been choosing very smartly with the ones you've chosen to update. What do we have today?

Back to you guys. This is what Dan's always wanted right here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: We Taught Mina Kimes How To Do TV
I feel like ridiculous. The setup was somebody compared Jeff Conine to Adonis Haslam. Legends of these teams who are known more for what they meant to the teams more than what they actually did on the field. And then Billy, of course, had to do the Billy thing and say, no, Billy thing. Jeff Conine is not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: We Taught Mina Kimes How To Do TV
Jeff Conine. So insulting. If you have Wade over here, and you have Udonis Haslam over here, and you have Jeff Conine in the middle, Jeff Conine is more towards the Udonis Haslam. He's known, he's popular with the fan base, but he was never the best player on his team. He's more thought of as a leader, a franchise great, but not for what he did on the field. Just kind of like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: We Taught Mina Kimes How To Do TV
You know, being a good team guy. I don't think Jeff Conine is the greatest baseball player ever, just to be clear on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: We Taught Mina Kimes How To Do TV
You start connecting the dots and then you see the picture of the dog. The only difference between Jeff Conine and Udonis Haslam is like one all-star game for Jeff Conine. Without Jeff Conine making that one all-star game, he would be Udonis Haslam. I hate this.

White Lotus has so many filler episodes. Way too many filler episodes. We can get to filler episodes later. It's a slow burn, Billy. How about we just do a four episode season where something happens every episode? Not one where I'm just watching the guy like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I haven't looked into any of them yet, which is maybe why I'm so confused, but those will probably confuse me even more. Yeah. Then we're just releasing snakes.

There's a whole will they, won't they with the massage therapist too that's going on there. Will they? Lots of tension. Dan, can I put it on? Juju, can you put it on the poll? Will they? That little friend group, by the way. Hmm.

Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Good writing. Oh, they hate each other. They hate each other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Honestly, probably the most relatable relationship on this show, I think, right? Yeah, I've seen a lot of people say that. Sad admission. I think we can almost relate to that group, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
And you hate them all. You've all kind of gone your own way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Really? Yeah. I'm trying to figure out, like, because, I mean, we know because of the way that the first episode starts, right, that someone comes in and there's just, like, a mass shooting is what it seems like is going on, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Spoiler alert. Yes, spoiler alert. Well, no, it's the first scene.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
You don't think that anything happened? No, I don't. Look, I didn't come to a museum. I came to Max. I'm not here to watch art. I'm here to watch a show. Entertain me, Mike White. Okay? I watched you on Amazing Race. Let's pick up the pace a little bit. So we have that.

I have no idea what his name is. Yeah, that Kenny Wynn situation is going to be dicey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
I don't want to give, you know, Kenny Wynn's business partner any advice, but like the solution is don't go home. You're fine. Dude, you're good. You're in Thailand. You got away with it. Just stay there. Stay on vacation forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
And nothing happened episode three. Nothing ever happens. The guy goes out. He makes secret phone calls. That's the whole show so far.

Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Dude, he's a weirdo. And he's also two through five. Here's the thing about him. I'm sorry to cut you off, but here's the thing about him. I saw a video how proud he was to get the role, and he was telling his mom and his sister, like, I got the role, and they're all crying and so happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
No, and then you see the top of his wiener in the first episode, and if I'm in a show and you're seeing the top of my wiener in the first episode, the last thing I'm doing is telling my mom and my sister, come and tune in.

The daughter that's there to kind of do the book report or whatever, she seems like the only pure character on the show, right?

That's the concern, right? You think there's skeletons there, though? There has to be a twist with her.

Oh, Dan, your naivete is so cute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I mean, it depends when you met them. Like, if they're from childhood into the 30s, they've been friends, you know, essentially their entire lives.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I wouldn't travel to Thailand with my family. Like, I'm not getting on a flight that long. Get out of here. Are you crazy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
I committed crimes. That means Kenny Wynn is in business with Dilly. If I'm in Thailand, find my Kenny Wynn. All right. And you'll never see me again, Tony. You're simply not going to entertain the hypothetical. I'll be Bobby. I'm going to pull out the Greg Gary situation. Yes, and Dan, I'm here for you. Yes, I don't want you here. No one wants to be my friend. I get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
I mean, it was partially for joke, but like that's real life. Like people's friends like move away. Not everybody lives in the same city forever. And you don't like as life goes on and their, you know, careers advance and the families grow and whatever. You don't stay in touch with them as often as you did. And sometimes you just say, you know what? It's been 10 years.

Says you're not a journalist once. And all of a sudden, here we are reporting news one day later.

Like, let's hang out to rekindle the old times. And then you find out like, wow, everybody's life has changed a lot. And I don't know if these are the same people. that I was friends with. You don't go to college anymore where it's easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Yeah. And just make jokes from 15 years ago so we leave this all having a good time. I want to know as little about you as possible right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Dude, tread lightly on this one. I'm telling you because this is Dan's MO. He's going to drop a bomb with like a minute left in the segment. Like he started out with the cookies so that you do this and then you say something silly or stupid and then boom, egg on your face because he drops the real news right Right as the hour is about to end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
And then you're like, oh, my God, I can't believe you let me put my foot in my mouth and say that. And then he's like reporting jazz hands. And then it's like some big thing. Just be careful. We've been down this road before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
You understand our thinking then, right? Because we were prompted with that, and we're like, we're going to do this, and then you're like, hold on, I've been doing a lot of reporting this morning, and I want to do a big mortality episode. I'm like, okay, well, someone's done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
That was an off-air hypothesis of mine that I've been working on for a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Dan, this happened once before. No, the day that his brother passed, he was in here joking with us the entire morning like if nothing was wrong and then just did it on air and we're like, what? Yeah, we were like joking around in the kitchen. And we felt terrible, obviously. So that's why we're all treading lightly because we're like, we don't know how this segment's going to end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Well, but you're going to be disappointed either way now. Well, I'm never going to be disappointed if someone's staying alive.

I don't want that news is what I'm telling you. It's not what I want, but I know your tricks. I know your tricks, old dog. You evidently don't know my tricks. Now you're holding off until tomorrow. I know these tricks. You're hoping that these people stay alive long enough to not be found out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That is ridiculous. You need filler. White Lotus, I mean, has shown us you just need filler sometimes. Get to eight episodes. Let's throw in a three or four, nothing happens. Weird incest situation going on with White Lotus this season. I don't know what the hell's going on. I don't know who's going to kill who.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
Well, I don't know that a defense to murder is I would have killed this person if I had the chance to. I am so out on this nutritionist. It's their fault that LeBron left. So, Dan, put your name on it. Dwayne Wade's a liar. Say it. Report that. No, you can put your name on it. No, I'm not doing any reporting. I tend to believe Dwayne Wade on this situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Dan Does Journalism Again
I think that something happened here, and you're just coming out here saying a lot of people have reached out to me and said there's nothing to see here. Move along. Dwayne Wade's full of it.

Feels good, man. Does it feel good? It feels good to have you guys here. It does feel like substitute teacher vibes, but a good substitute teacher. Not one of those ones that just puts on a film. Someone that makes me think. And I leave that day saying, that person deserves their own. That should be a full-time teacher. That should not be a substitute teacher.

If he traded him for a 32-year-old, I think everyone would be like, what did they just do that for?

I've never had that thought about a sub. I don't know why I'm doing this.

Jess and I saw each other in the parking lot, and we literally skipped in together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
Can we get a slow-motion replay of what just happened? I don't want to ever relive that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
I'm picturing Dan watching like finally someone's bringing it down.

Frozen is what they accused him of. Nobody? Sticky envelopes? Pat Ewing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
What do you guys think about, maybe tomorrow, we get like a New Orleans-style band to just be out there? Yes. So that we feel like we're, you know, what we're missing, we get.

It's a frozen envelope.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So when he reaches in to pick the envelope, the cold one is the one he fills.

David Stern was an A-Rod. Adam Silver is way better liked. Just as powerful. No, he's not A-Rod. He's not A-Rod. I meant to say asshole, but I didn't want to say it. Oh, he could have said jackhole. You could have said jackhole. That's a good one. Could have said a million other things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
All right, put that replay up of the awkward back and forth. I don't think we need to do that. There's no audio. It's just you guys. Like, what is here? David's going for a high five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Thank you, Amin. We appreciate it. Thank you, Amin. Hard worker.

Have you ever seen that? I have not. You have not seen this? No, is it awesome?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
What starts is like just kind of a normal embrace. Dan like pulls him and like they like take like three steps back. It was so awkward. And what pulls him from behind? Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
All right. They embrace. He pulls on me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
He pulls him in. He looks at that and he's like, oh, crap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
Arm around his neck and then pulling him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
I agree. All right, here we go. Here's David and Dominique. Oh, yeah. Let's see if this is worse. Oh, the dance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
Oh my, oh my, okay, you know what? This takes the cake. This is worse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

This little shuffle right here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
The actual dap, not terrible. Not bad. Everything before and after. It's everything. This is terrible. And then watch the dap. The dap itself, not terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But then you go into his, like, I don't know why you put your legs up. Yeah.

A stone crab place owned by Joe?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
It kind of is. I think it's the most profitable restaurant in America, one of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
You must hate that. How many hands did you shake? Did you sanitize right after? There were a few hugs. There were. There were actual full body hugs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: David and Pablo's Awkward Moment
Joe's Stone Crab is the perfect place to avoid these kind of interactions because you can always just have the doctor hands of like, I got crab hands, man. Can't fist bump, can't do anything. We'll talk later.

I got a call. And he's just like, no, I think we should be aligned on this. Come on up. And he's just like, oh, all right, I'll go up there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
On the actual game itself, if we're counting all of the losers that I had in terms of Super Bowl matchups and things like that, then yes, it is indeed over. But in terms of this game itself, the number of bets I currently have in pocket is zero. Really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Really? Wow. Yep. Yeah, I have quite a few bets involving those cross-port parlays that I put together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I have a good number of those with both the Eagles and Chiefs live to win. But in terms of any props or anything like touchdown scores, things like that, I have not played anything. And the big reason why... Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
is i like to play a lot of unders and i think what you're going to see over the next week or so is that you're going to see a lot of these prop total yardage totals reception totals carry all these the the initial public push is always to bet it over so like if you're looking for an under someone like me is looking for an under it's better off for me to wait because more often than not
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm going to get a little bit of a better number than I would if I immediately rush out right away and bet an opener and bet an under, and it's bumped up a couple of yards. So, yeah, I'll be looking to hammer some unders over the next week or so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Over the next few days, probably Monday, Tuesday or so, I'll really take a good hard look at a lot of the props. Superbook put out their prop list last night, and that's usually once they put their stuff out, it gets hit right away and the numbers move. I'll take a look at all of their markets and just dial in and see what I'm going to bet. There is one bet that I am looking at right now to
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But then I have my eye on involving a Xavier-worthy longest rush. All right, hold on a second. Or rushing yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, no, I'm going to be looking at Xavier Worthy's rushing yardage over in this game. I don't know what it is. I'm guessing it's probably going to be around – my guess is it's going to be around 5, 5.5. I'm seeing it right now at 5, 5.5. And if it's anywhere in that range, I'm going to go over. I know I just said I like playing a bunch of unders, but here I am with it over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And the reason being is I'm not sure Isaiah Pacheco is fully – and fully immersed to be able to really contribute running-wise inside. We've seen Kareem Hunt run. They did not really have a great game on the ground against Buffalo last time out. So I think you're going to see Andy Reid and that offense try and get Worthy involved in the running game on some jet sweeps or anything like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So I'd be looking at Xavier Worthy if it's anywhere in the area of like five and a half and potentially going over because he's been used in the running game quite a bit the second half of the year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
That number actually got blasted, I think, last night. I think it was somewhere around 24.5, 25.5, and it's moved up quite a bit. So that number, I think it's hard because I would lean towards an under. The way I would actually look to bet Mahomes is look for if they have a longest rush year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
a single carry prop because odds are he'll have one of those scrambles where he breaks contained and he runs for 12, 13, 14 yards and they move the sticks and probably that'll be good enough to go over that, that yard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But Mahomes is one of the, was a, it was a central figure in one of the worst beats ever in a, in a, in a Superbowl prop, the Superbowl against the 49ers a few years ago in Miami and, He had those ridiculous kneel downs where it was like, I'm going to lose seven yards. I'm going to lose eight yards. And he was way over his rushing total for the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And then those rushing yards, the kneel downs cost him. So I like thinking of like the game theory and how I think the game is going to play out. And if it's going to be a close game and you think maybe the Chiefs are going to win, then maybe there is a victory formation and he's losing completely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
maybe three kneel downs, maybe he's losing 8, 9, 10 yards on those three carries, and that ultimately could do you in. So I'd look for a longest individual carry for Mahomes more than I would just going over in the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, yeah. That's what I would do. I'd go under 29.5 if that's what it is now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I think it's 26.5, I think is what the Superbook put up there last night. And I know Bill Krackenberger, who's a really sharp pro-better, he immediately bet the under. And I don't know if I agree with him there. I think that Chiefs rush defense has been a little spotty. I would bet over 26.5 before I would under. But I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
If, uh, if, if you did go, if you did go under thinking maybe Kansas city and spags and that D has things locked up, but, uh, they, they, they haven't been able to put this high enough. Like you said, the last couple of weeks, first carry last week, but 65 yards, wherever the hell it was to the house and nothing better than cashing a bet on the first play of the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But, yeah, I would lean towards Orwell just because he seems to always break at least one long run. The thing I'm going to be curious about with the Eagles in the running game and all these running props here, I'm curious what they post like Will Shipley's numbers at because we don't know if Gainwell is going to play. Gainwell is someone that Jeff Schwartz and I have loved to play overs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
We had his over in the – In the Rams game, we had his over the round before that as well, and they all hit. Then we had the overs again last time out against Washington, and he would have gone under, but he fell a half a yard short and then unfortunately got hurt on that kickoff return. So we'll see if he's going to be able to play, but maybe the Shipley numbers might be a little deflated too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
We don't know how much play he's going to get because that was a blowout game and how much will they bench Saquon to get him a little bit of a rest. So it's going to be curious to see how the Eagles' offense might be affected. Saquon get more carries, does Shipley get more carries, how they kind of balance that out. If you have an idea on that, you might have a little bit of edge on those numbers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm probably going to be doing exactly what I'm doing with you right now, ripping through a bunch of... That's that I have made or would made or break, break down the game for, uh, for all of the, yeah, I'm looking forward to be, I'm sure it'll be a fun little, uh, a fun little segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And, uh, then I'll get, get back to the green room or the hotel or the sports bar, wherever the hell we're, we're going to be set up for silent. Well, definitely not the sideline. I can tell you that somewhere. I watched the game with the, of all my pals. Do you have access? Do you have access to the sidelines? I doubt it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I know I have a credential, but I'm sure it just gets me in the dome for that day. And I'm sure, I shouldn't say I'm sure, but I would imagine that Fox has some type of green room set up somewhere that, I mean, I'll have access to that. But the NFL is never an access sideline. They like those clean sidelines. You know that. I know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Oh, absolutely near the top. Everyone says that. Everybody. It's because the atmosphere, the food, everything about the city is great. Bourbon Street and just all the different restaurants. And, of course, you've got the casinos there, which always are never a bad thing. But, yeah, in terms of the city itself, that part is great. However, I won't say the top.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Because the airport is a pain in the ass. There are flights in and out of there or few and far between. Difficult connections. The weather can kind of be like you never hit or miss. It can be really rainy. It can be unusually chilly or it can just be like super swampy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So it's like the core of it itself, like the heart of it, like the really, really important things, the food and the atmosphere, great. But all the ancillary stuff about flights in and out and weather potentially, eh. But I'm looking forward to getting down there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
When I went to make the reservations, it was like – I put in like 730. I'm like, oh, perfect. 730, nothing. 715, nothing. 7, nothing. So I'm like, ugh. The first two highlighted boxes I saw were 515 and like 9. Right. And I'm like, god. I'm like, I definitely can't do 9 because we actually have to be up. on Thursday morning to do, uh, some bare bets, digital stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
So like we, I can't really have a night owl type thing. Right. But I'm like, you know what? I'm still going to be a little bit on ease. It's going to be my first day there. So I'm going to be a little bit on East coast time still, uh, the hour travel. I'll be looking at settling and there's no time limit on this dinner. We can get there. I understand. Five 15, enjoy a drink.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And then, okay, we're ready to order now. So Yeah. We can milk it a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
GW Finns, by the way. We'll give GW Finns a very gratuitous prop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Lobster. The lobster dumplings at Ravioli are unbelievable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm going to go red. I know the motto on the other side there, but I'm a big Liverpool guy, so it's like the right of Liverpool Reds. Oh, that's great reasoning. We're dominating the world right now. That's a good point. How are you? I'll go Red. Okay. So you'd rather go the – that's a – because you get what –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
you'd rather do that one spin of the roulette wheel than just go down and sit in and be a grasshopper at a blackjack table, sit down here and play one hand?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Or a split, and then a double down as well. And the money's coming out of my own pocket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Lose everything. That's very nice. The dealer turns over like – the dealer is showing like four – nine, 13, 16, 20. Everyone loses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I've ever walked out of Harrah's in New Orleans ahead. So it's probably to my benefit not to – And he takes it seriously. Even though I do want to go in there and see if they are using the Caesars Las Vegas sportsbook. That's what I am curious about because there is a Kentucky Derby future I'm looking to get down on. So if they have a –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
If they have Kentucky Derby future prices up there, I want to check that out. I love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'll cut it out. I cannot reveal. See, the only place I know you can bet it is the Caesars future book in Las Vegas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's the only spot that I know that has it up, and obviously I'm not in Las Vegas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And I looked at, like, the app in Massachusetts where I could drive to Massachusetts and bet it, and they don't have it up. Like, Circa in Las Vegas doesn't have it up. So, like, I'm curious to see what the – Caesar's Vegas race book will be up in New Orleans. I'm excited about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Probably at least a dozen probably. I don't like to really spread myself super thin just because the more you have, the more likely you are to kind of level out and move closer to 500, but I'll hit a half a dozen or so, probably really good, and I'll probably wind up having like a like a total of 12 or so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And I know everyone's going to want, everyone, everyone loves like the Anthem bets and like the, the, the Kendrick Lamar, like songless bets, but like, you can't really get down on those anymore. Like a couple of years ago, like when word got out of it, idiots out there tweeting the, Oh, the Anthem is going to be a minute and 37 seconds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And like every offshore sports book in the world took it down. So you can get the information now for the most part. And yeah, you've got moles in there with the, with the rehearsal crew and Hey, it's going to be blah, blah, blah. But there really aren't many places that, uh, that take that anymore. Jeff Schwartz actually tells a great story about the, uh, the Gatorade color for the super bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Right. Uh, like when, uh, uh, Jared Lorenzen the deceased quarterback for the Giants like I don't know if it was him or one of his buddies like they went by the like like peaked and all like the Gatorade color like the Gatorade buckets on the sideline and like looking at it's like purple Gatorade I'm like oh yeah the Gatorade is purple so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Like everyone was like betting purple Gatorade that day because of the information directly from the sideline. So it's like a, he tells it much better than I do. So at dinner on Wednesday, or just listen to the rare bets podcast. He told the story on the pod the other day. So direct information from the sideline for Jared Lorenzen about the, the Gatorade being purple.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No, not at all. Really? No way. Money is money. It's everywhere. Exactly right. I feel shame when I bet those. the year and this is however many years ago it was the year that justin timberlake was the halftime act right uh a friend of a friend was involved with jt somehow and either helped him write songs or a band manager something And I was like, oh, let me find out here. And I hit my body up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm like, hey, would you mind asking blah, blah, blah about, like, blah, blah. And he's like, yeah, what do you want to know? And I'm, like, looking at the prop list. I'm like, well, Justin Timberlake, we're wearing a hat. And you hear my buddy, I'm like, hey, is JT wearing a hat? And you're like, no. He says, well, Justin Timberlake have facial hair. He doesn't have a beard or anything, does he?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No. And I try, perfect. Right. And ever since then, my ability to find places to get down on halftime show props and anthem props has been few and far between.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Believe me, we're not talking about massive amounts of money here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No, that you wouldn't know. It's funny. That is like the most bet prop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You know, tails never fails. And you got people out there saying like, yeah, well, the reason people say tails, because like the head is a little bit heavier on the commemorative coin. So naturally I am like, whatever, I'm, I'm, I'm going to like, I'm going to let you throw your money away on that. I'll stick to, I'll stick to Gatorade next time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'll stick to Xavier Worthy and his longest carry and who will score the last touchdown of the game, blah, blah, blah. Actually, there's another prop out there I heard this year, too. Will there be a touchdown via the tush push?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
which I don't know what the price was now, but someone was telling me that there was a prop. I hate that damn play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I'm sure. They need to get rid of that. It's so bad. It's not a football play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, you're just going to let the defense. Okay, no, but we're not going to try and time it and jump. It's going to let... shoved Jalen Hurts' ass into the end zone. Like, give me a break. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And then I think I heard one of the – like someone was saying like the official postgame, like they asked him about the timing of it, and they're like, well, the play clock is what the team is competing against on offense, so that's their defense, whereas the defense is trying to just create it. I'm like, boy, whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Torrey Holt. Torrey Holt, first touchdown scorer, Rams-Titans in that Super Bowl. I think it was like 15-16-1. And that was a – I remember ABC had the game, so I was working it. And it was in our little green room viewing area with a bunch of former players who obviously can't bet. And I was like, here's what I – Here's what I bet on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And when Torrey Holt scored, one of the guys was like, wait a minute, you just won? I'm like, yeah. He's like, oh my God, that's awesome. So they're so obtuse to anything that's going on there. But yeah, Torrey Holt. Torrey Holt, first touchdown in Titans-Rams Super Bowl is my favorite experience. Patrick Mahomes, kneel down, rushing prop, over loss was a bad one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I had Aaron Donald in the MVP in the Rams-Bengals Super Bowl, and he should have been, but he wasn't. I had Falcons money line against the Patriots when they pissed away the 28-3 lead. So more often than not, the Super Bowl memories that I have are – I had a Kyle Juszczyk touchdown last year as well, so that was a good score as well. But most of the Super Bowl memories are more bad than good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
No one's listening anyway. Right. I'm trying to get a lot of group think like out there and just kind of see where people's minds are and maybe not be on the side of the group. Think, uh, if that makes sense, like it seems like right now, most people are in the camp of, oh, the Eagles are the better team and they got Barkley now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And they were, they were favored a couple of years ago and now they're better than they were. And So they should win, and Barkley should be the MVP. And that's kind of been the prevailing school of thought I've heard out there right now. But I'm really looking for any reason I can to bet the Chiefs because if you bet against the Chiefs and you lose, you're like, what the hell was I doing? Exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You deserve whatever you get if you look to fade him. I mean, they've lost, what, one real game? in the last year. Yeah. That was the game to the Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And, like, the playoff losses that Mahomes has had have just been, like, the one Super Bowl they lost where they were without, what, four starting offensive linemen against Tampa Bay.

GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It's hard to pull the trigger and bet against them. I think when push comes to shove, you see, hey, shove, butt, should push. See what I did there? I saw what you did there. I'll probably wind up betting – Betting Kansas City would probably be the way I think I'm going to wind up going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
What the hell was I doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
In what? In the Super Bowl?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I was going to say betting the Jets to win the Super Bowl preseason this year. Does that count? Did you really bet that? Of course you did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
You don't even cash that ticket. You frame it. I did because I was not. Think back to the beginning of the season where we were, brah. The roster that they had and the way the schedule shook down. People weren't sold on Buffalo being great this year. I wasn't sold on the Dolphins. You knew the Patriots were going to be one of the worst teams in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And it's like you could have seen a scenario where they were starting like 7-1 and making a real run and then It just went downhill from there. But, yeah, never, never, never again. As SVP said on his pod a couple of weeks ago about his travel back from the college football championship game, never again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Never again will I bet on the Jets to make or win the Super Bowl because hope is a dangerous thing with that. You never, ever, ever, ever do you want to give yourself an ounce of hope and optimism with the Jets because they'll just absolutely kneecap you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I mean, in turn, I heard it was either going to be him or Joe Brady were the two front runners. Right. I think it's good to have someone maybe, maybe who, who is there and is familiar with the organization and was there the, the, the last time they had an ounce of, uh, positive coaching and a positive front office and positive results and coming close to the Superbowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
We will, we'll see that the, obviously the staff is going to be important. What they do at quarterback is going to be important. They'll have the benefits of a, a lesser schedule this year, which, which will be good. But yeah, what do you do with quarterback? I mean, is Aaron going to come back for another year? Are they going to go Tyrod Taylor for a year?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Are they going to find another bridge quarterback for the year? you're probably not going to be drafting a quarterback where they are at 10 because they have so many different holes that they need to fill. But obviously the NFL is a league where you can turn things around pretty quickly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
But I think someone there who kind of understands what Jets fans have gone through for the last however many years, I think that's a good thing. Especially he lived it in Detroit as well. He was part of a massive turnaround in Beaconette City, I believe. So maybe he can –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
do the same with the jets i just hope i don't have the number of times we're going to uh see uh mark ingram catching the fake spike and again we're going to stare in front of aaron glenn until the next start of the regular season how many times we're going to see that a lot but bear you know what he wants to be there and you're right he knows the uh he knows the pain of the jet fans he knows what we want he knows how bad it's been for how long and for how long uh but most importantly
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Well, no, we had a coach who it was his final job, Rich Cotite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
It was his final job in the NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I think we should just leave it. He's a better option than anything that's probably out there, right? Yes, he is. I think if you could bring back him for... For one year, does he have one year left on his deal? I don't even know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
Yeah, for a year, and then maybe you draft to take a flyer on like a quarterback. Axe and dart. Well, he's going to move into the first round. He's the pie riser right now. He's going to wind up moving into the first round. But you draft someone that – that maybe has a chance. I don't know who that is right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And then next year, obviously, Nussmeier is going to be a guy who would probably be QB1 if he was coming out this year. So there might be some options next year as well. But I think if you're looking for one year, I think you're probably better off seeing if Aaron wants to come back for one more year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I, it makes all the sense in the world. And I'm, I'm glad they, I mean, they needed to do something because you were not going to be able to go into that next season with Emery Williams as your starting quarterback. But the, the issue now is you need to find people around it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And you need some of those recruits to step up at wide receiver and tight end and be players that they thought they could be. Maybe you can find someone in the second portal go around who the hell knows. He changes defensive coordinator. Seems like it's probably a, But yeah, you'll need your secondary to be better, and they've made steps to address that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
I think you're probably looking at another schedule that's a little bit more difficult this year. They open with Notre Dame down there at Joe Robbie. I'll never call it anything else because you can't take the guy's name off of a stadium. But I think... If you're looking at the fact that you've got Notre Dame, you've got Florida non-conference, you should be in the ACC championship game next year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
And again, they should have been in the ACC championship game this year with the best quarterback they've had in school history, but their defense was a sieve and they couldn't. But are they – I hate – they'll never be back to what I know them as and what all of –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Welcome to Radio Row!
our my generation of miami alums and friends and fans and no of no of them is being back but uh and he had to to not expect them to compete uh to make the college football playoff next year they'll absolutely compete to do that uh mikey it just dawned on me i never heard that tape before and he's right once you put someone's name on a stadium you can't take the name off the stadium that goes that goes in our next book
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: My Voice Is Strong and My Bottom Is Fresh (feat. David Samson)
There are 11 listed Madea movies. There's Diary of a Black Woman, which I guess is where we were introduced to. Mad Black Woman. Yeah, where we were introduced to Madea. Then Madea's Family Reunion, Meet the Browns, Madea Goes to Jail, I Can Do Bad All by Myself, Madea's Big Happy Family, Madea's Witness Protection, Madea Gets a Job, a Madea Christmas, boom, a Madea Halloween.

You guys aren't on the portable charger game? I don't want to plug my couch in. I don't do the thing from the couch anymore. Those things are bad. A month in, they're not even working anymore. Oh, for real? I don't have one. I have my couch. I had a charger thing plugged in, and I was into it, and then two months later, it just stopped working.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But I do like the portable charger. My wife has like 50 of these things. So now I rarely even use the wall chargers anymore. I'm walking around with my portable charger and then when I leave the house I plug the portable charger.

Cardinals are mean birds. Are they? I would whoop a cardinal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
The Pets, Chicago Pets. That should be a nickname for a sports team. Which one? What's more popular in America than Pets? Everybody has a dog and a cat. We love Pets. No team has ever been named the Pets.

Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
It's a Venmo fine, by the way. Yeah. That misspeak by you. Double. Okay. Why is it double? It's Tuesday. You denigrated the pet. Do you have it back in my day, by the way, Tuesday? I don't, no. Well, he did Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Get it? I like that. I think you're on to something. Thank you. That's good. Dog pound. What? Yeah. By the way, I want to hark back for just a second. We were talking about changing flat tires.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
I want to tell you a fact, and you're going to think I'm kidding.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Queen Elizabeth II, who we just lost, I think she lived to be almost 100, didn't she? She could change a tire because she was a trained mechanic who drove a military truck in World War II. Wow. Wow. So... I just picture her changing a tire, and it's pretty neat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yes, right. Yeah, changing the oil pan. Lizzie tires. Exactly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Oh, yeah. My parents used to say that. Wild Bill?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
No, I'm trying to pass it along to my offspring, and Christopher refuses to indoctrinate my granddaughter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Well, you've got to try harder with the pet thing. I will. And pet works on a couple of different levels. Quick example. If I let a pet in the house... And Earline's like, Greg. I'm like, Charlie did that. Jumping Charlie. Because Charlie is a pet letter like a lot of dogs. And it's very noticeable. You know, it's a pungent smell. And so I am free to blame the dog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
For what I have discreetly done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yes, thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yeah. Pet Slept Pets, and my wife knows that. Sometimes she'll remark how Charlie just made a big smell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yeah. I'm with her. Same theory. Same theory. Classic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
All the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yeah. All the time. Has mom ever blamed a pet on the pet? Women don't fart. You know that. Yeah. Mine does. Whoa. Oh, boy. Boy, you're going to hear about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Oh, man. She doesn't listen. Okay, thank God. That's going to get back to her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
By the way, as a racehorse owner, I'm going to testify. Horses are very, very flatulent. Really? Yeah. Very, very flatulent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
No, I've never said that. But there's a way to crop the horse that is humane. They have tough hide. Keep that in mind. It's like jumping Charlie. I gingerly and gently and for fun, like I'll crack Charlie right on the ass. He loves that. Dogs love that. They like to be kneaded on the hindquarters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Wow. Small termites.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
You know what? The conversation wasn't dumb enough before. You had to add that plume of smoke to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
They speed up. That's why they call it gas. Yeah. Like Mario Kart. Right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Termites? Termites is what I was going to say. Termites is an upset. It really is. All of us. How do you measure that? What a bad job. What do you do for a living? I measure termite pets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dalton, Dallas, or Dawson! (feat. Mina Kimes)
Was that you? I need more information on this. Like, Ron McGill doesn't know that, right? If I ask Ron McGill, hey, Ron, termite, gassy? He doesn't know this, right?

Frankly, Mike McCarthy is a football head coach name. You're right. Coach McCarthy. Yeah, the new Jacksonville coach, not so much. Not a name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Yeah, he's a Bill Cower. He's a young Bill Cower in appearance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Don Shula, pretty good name. The Cobbler. Nick Saban. All three syllables.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
And that's what I'm telling you. That's why he keeps hiring them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Eberflus. That's the worst of all time. Terrible. No matter what you do for a living, you don't want to be named Eberflus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Wonstadt? I think it is. Pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, I think it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
By the way, Eberflus also sounds like the name of a car, but only an oddball Volkswagen. A Volkswagen Eberflus. Nice. You know? Because they get golf. They're the company that comes up with weird car names.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Yeah. Yeah, an Eberflus. Mike McDaniel. Good coach's name. No. Not a good coach's appearance. What are you doing with the name? No, Mike McDaniel is a solid head coach's name. You've got to back it up, though, with the appearance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
He's an ENT. Dr. Bendova. That's my proctologist. That was always an old Johnny Carson line. I never forgot it. Carson was so good. What do you think he meant by that? You know, it was his proctologist, Dr. Bendova. Really? Yeah. Use your imagination.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Yeah, I don't know about that. Not Cliff with a K. But his last name starts with a K. I know, but you don't need that.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
He's way bigger than that. Yeah, he was a big man. 1950s, by the way. 1950s, wow. Good for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Valpo. I don't mean to disparage him. God rest his soul. You know, pretty good head coach. I don't know if he was or not. He was known for eating.

Oh, that's... And one tie. It's 11 and 30.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I'm sorry. Why, Greg? Well, you know, heavy. If I'm in a plane... There's no way I can say this without pissing some people off. But if I'm in a plane... Please don't. No, no, please stop. I know where you're going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
I have nothing against people who some would say are overweight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
I know. I'm getting right on Venmo. Venmo. Venmo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
My phone is turned off. Here it is. Here we go again. Here we go again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
No, I don't want to make fun of anybody, but it's a fact that if a 500-pound man is walking down my aisle in a plane, followed by another couple of really heavy people, it worries me. Only on Southwest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Yeah, because, you know, you do have to even the weight out left and right. It's not true. No, it's absolutely true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Is that 100%? No, it's absolutely true. If there's 40 people on the right side of a plane and 18 on the left, you better believe they're asking some people to move over. Well, what happens if they don't? Well, you know, you've got to do what you've got to do. Put it on the poll, Jude. Disobeying a flight attendant is a federal... Something, yeah. Crime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Crime may be a hard word.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
You're the one who asked me to turn it on. That is true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
You asked me to turn it on to pay my Venmo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
You can turn it on quietly. It's impossible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
No, I do. It's installed in my phone. You know how to do it? Of course. I got them set up. No, no, Greg knows how to do it. Good to go. It's all taken care of. Don't worry about me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
But the thing is, those aren't legally retroactive. Yeah, I think it only starts once you've downloaded Venmo. That is fair, right. It all starts when you install Venmo in your machine. Yeah, in your machine. Right. You're getting to it, huh? It's done. It's done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
You know, it was a loose end that I tied up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Exactly. It's a gacky, I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Right. I mean, Dan Campbell, who turned out to be pretty good, was an interim coach with the Dolphins. They didn't even hire him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
I think you're right. I don't know. I also think this has to have been a mutual parting. I can't believe that Jerry Jones is going, no, Mike, please, please stay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
You should have. Reach out to her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
You could ask Sarah Spain as well. Oh, that's a good idea, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
I don't think so. It's my exercise. Middle gymnastics.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Frankie Tires and Danny Ice Picks
Yeah, you have to. Why deny the obvious? I have to.

Local Hour: Greg Cote's Jimmy Butler Take
It's a hard thing to stomach that the team just can't seem to get over that hump of Patrick Mahomes.

I went to Spain. But I went to Valencia in Spain.

Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
You're listening to DraftKings Network. Cody had to leave for belly button surgery, Juju. Yes, sir. Rest in peace, the belly button. Right? It had a good run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Gotta have those kids courtside. Of course not. Juju, I have an idea. So what if one is playing for the children's hospital and one is playing for the old people hospital? No, people don't care about old people. What about animals? Who do we want to save more, kids or old people? And they're all there with the breathing apparatuses. LeBron's playing for Leon Medical Center.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Doesn't everyone vote young there? What about animals? Not everyone. Animals or young kids? How about that?

Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
A bunch of puppies that need homes.

Saving the basketball. Think about that courtside around the court.

And then the MVP of the winning team gets to pull the plug. Okay. Whoa. What are you doing there? Metaphorically.

They last forever, though.

You could have done something better. You just didn't want to do it. The Tony reveal.

Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
For any of you, what are the possible eventualities here as you see them? In addition to the NFL League investigation, might there be civil lawsuits? And I'm also wondering, given the amount of time that's lapsed, are criminal charges a possibility?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
I have an umbilical hernia just above my navel and it's pretty common and it's a fairly routine surgery but I'm finally having it done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Is this the little belly button nub that we saw once on camera? That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Is it too late to write a eulogy for it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
We can do that. It's not worth a eulogy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Or is this a quality of life thing? It is cosmetic, but it's more than that because worst case scenario... It could be something. Yeah, my intestine could start coming out and then it's like emergency surgery. Well, that's a bad situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Your intestine could come out of your belly button?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
It looks like a nose. I'm not going to have eyes over my navel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
What if we put like a little lipstick mouth underneath it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
It's a lump. When I cough or sneeze, I literally press down on it to make sure it stays in place. The doctor says that's a smart thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Supposedly, it's outpatient surgery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
That's shocking. I feel like we should play a memorial song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Especially cosmetic surgery, too. Well, it's not referred to as cosmetic surgery. Are you getting a tuck or a lift or what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
No, in Tupelo, Mississippi.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Was it really that long ago? Man, it's been part of our lives for so long. We're going to miss it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
That kind of thing. I would like to know. Me too. Were you just thinking about chicken tendies at a gas station? I don't blame you if you were.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
I'm torn on that. Look, she's 44. She's losing in the first round. I don't know whether that's a sad story or an inspiring story. I really am conflicted. Part of me gives her credit for still playing because Serena just recently said how much she misses tennis, so Venus is still hanging on, but she is 44. Is that sad or is it inspiring? I'm honestly torn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Right, but Dan, is Greg writing for the Herald sad or inspiring? We have to determine that first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Go ahead. I thought I was out of here. Sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
It looks like Riley's tickling my dad's nose. It really does. He's picking his nose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Chris and Charlie jumped on me the other day, and I thought for a minute he had torn that open. Really? That would have been a way to go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Can you say you follow every journalistic protocol in the book when you donate money to the school?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Chris, the last time your dad was here and you were out, he was saying that the briefcase you got him could not possibly be a nice gift. It could not possibly be as expensive as it says it is on the internet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
pot what kind of message board are we talking here it's like a different one i own one in kane's insight but like just say you got you were wrong in in taking out someone else's credibility like a fan chat site also i believe greg cody's words were when we told him it was an expensive bag it can't be that's right i i i thought it was well if he thought it was for michael i believe him saying that i
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Justin Tucker Allegations
Going back to the documentation going back years, I think that kind of includes some of these Twitter allegations that have been out there, especially ones from the time of the allegations. Does that lead you to believe that it's difficult to imagine the Ravens really had no idea about any of this before the report came out?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
No, the Trump Cup. It was the Biden Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Wouldn't it? It's the president.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Wow, Chris Cody just schooled you on math. That's a tough look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
Ron, I have a question. If you remember something several years ago, our makeup artist revealed to me this morning that she met you at a Miami sort of like children's animal festival several decades ago and asked you if the chupacabra was real. And you gave her an assurance that no, it was in fact not real. Do you remember that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
The horse is in distress. It's sad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
And he gets pranked in episode one, apparently. Do you think Anthony Davis thought that the trade was part of the prank show when he found out about it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
I heard Cameron Brink was in it, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
By heard, I mean I just read that in the Sports Business Journal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Happy Birthday Ron Magill!
He was such a star in college, though, when we used to actually talk more about men's college hoops. Such a star. I don't know.

Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
The Oscars in my house were just a yearly tradition where my dad annoys my brother saying that he could be an actor. Well... Can you? Jerry Jones can. Growing up, every year, my brother and my dad would be arguing with each other because my dad would just be like, yeah, you give me a month, I could go win Best Picture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
We've done bits around here where you've had to act.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Like ours was the first one and now it's just
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Yeah, you've lost six out of seven. And all the shows, if you're watching yesterday, are doing the look how good Jimmy is with Golden State. It's just it feels like a low point for the Heat in like at least a decade.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
It's not like the game has passed Spoh by. Yeah, but it's just so bad right now that everyone's getting it. That's why, yeah, it's so bad right now. The Jimmy stuff hurts so much that it's like the writers, the fans, they're just, I'll give it to everybody right now. Who wants it? Spoh, it's your fault. It's Riley's fault.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
When Durant was an option, they got the best they could. Well, some are saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
He got hurt one time. He could be a piece on a team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
That's not winning anything. I wish we could just see Jeremy's face right now. No, I don't want to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I'm going to be down the middle, Chris, on this. We are being disrespectful to Bam, but they should also be listening to offers for him. He shouldn't be off the table. That's ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
No, but Rami Malek too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I have a certain set of skills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I feel like he knew that answer and just wanted to get in on the conversation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Plus, I find being on my couch and only my underwear not like I like to at least throw a sweater on just my underwear. I get chilly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I can understand that. If I really want to see a movie, I'll only take my phone out like six times throughout the movie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
It's pretty tough. I mean, look, you know, yesterday was... I was watching it as a professional, so there's a certain amount of regulation that one undertakes. But it was tough to watch. I'm not going to joke. I mean, I'm not going to deny it or joke about it. And look, this is... I can't offer any comforting words about who wins in the end. I think that – I don't know who wins in the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Look, I wish we had Mahomes. I don't know who our Mahomes is. We're biding our time the regular season and just waiting to bust it out in the playoffs. But I don't know. I hope we have our own Mahomes. How do you feel about deep dish pizza?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
It's a great question. I love it. I think it's one of those things that, you know, that's maybe a once or twice a year thing. Like, I feel about it the way I feel about turkey. Like, when it, in the right context, in the right place and time, it's delicious. Do I want a deep dish pizza? you know, multiple nights a week, you know, it's no, it's a commitment. It's a commitment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
And it's, it is a, it is a great thing to savor when you're doing it, but like, you're not, that's not gonna, you're not gonna run up on a deep dish pizza a few times a week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
It's brass. It's $60. That's a fine. Okay. Is it a fine? Then I didn't know that it was. My wife got it for me. You know, I was born in the Bronx in 1979, so as I age, I'm just aging back into my roots. Does she love you? Christopher Wilfredo Hayes. Does my wife love me? She does love me. A brass necklace? That's why I got a $60 brass chain.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
You're not getting a brass chain.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
I'm both an addict. I'm both a seller and a user. I don't know if you feel the same way, but yes, my livelihood is keeping people's attention. I'm also just compulsively online. And even if those are personal dispositions, I feel like we live in an age in which Attention is the most important resource. It's the most valuable. And we're watching it play out before our eyes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
I mean, yesterday was a spectacle that perfectly illustrated this point. Elon Musk, Donald Trump, like these guys are where they are for a reason. And a lot of it has to do with how they manipulate attention.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Well, it was I mean, it was almost too on the nose. There's so many things that Trump does that are on the nose, passed on the nose. It was a really striking image. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. You had, you know, the head of Google, the head of Apple, the head of Amazon, the head of Facebook, the head of Tesla X. I mean, all standing in a line. They're all shot there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
And it was pretty funny. I saw someone, I forget who it was, but someone was like, well, it's interesting that when we did his rallies, like the people behind him were like coal miners.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
and like first responders and construction workers and suddenly he gets elected president like they can't really find any coal miners up there on the dais you can't really find any first responders but the most powerful billionaires uh are are up there and i thought you know it was an intentional bit of symbolism it was not it wasn't like a mistake it wasn't like they were like oh where do we see these guys i'll just give them the front row they were saying something they're both both the people attending bezos at all and trump and his crew
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
As an American, I feel anger, but I also feel a kind of cold sense of clarity. In some ways, I've actually thought that the last few weeks have been usefully clarifying, you know, the interests of these folks are aligned with the interests of Donald Trump and that they were working very hard to obscure that before. But I think that it's useful for everyone to see it for what it is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
It reminds me a little bit of, you know, there's a moment after 9-11 and particularly that first, you know, 2002, 2003 in the run up to the 2004 election with Bush, where all of these powerful forces in American life aligned with George W. Bush. You know, the Dixie Chicks were blacklisted because they said something disparaging about George W. Bush.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
And it was clarifying then in that moment to understand the forces arrayed against you. And in the end, no matter how much the people who dissented against George W. Bush were berated, they were proven right in the end. And I don't think that image of those guys standing there in line at that inauguration is going to age very well. In fact, I feel almost certain it won't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Oh, I don't know. I mean, I find the total uncertainty liberating. You know, the I remember so clearly is a really important lesson. I remember. First impeachment of Donald Trump, which happens in January and February of 2020. And when it ends in him being acquitted by the United States Senate, there were all these stories about what this year was going to be and how Trump was resurgent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
And I remember thinking to myself, I was stressing about travel because it was an election year and I was going to have to go to these primary states. I was thinking about child care. And of course, COVID hit. Two weeks later, three weeks later, everything I'd stressed about, everything I thought about, all the think pieces, all the stuff about Trump, completely washed away. None of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
None of it mattered. And I've just taken that lesson to heart that we do not know what's coming. You can prepare. You can stick to your principles. You can think about your craft. You can think about what you want to do as a citizen. But I have no idea what these next four years are going to be like. Neither does anyone else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
And the degree to which I have no idea, I actually find, like, personally liberated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
I don't think. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be good, I guess, if that's your question. No, I mean, I think this thing, the meme coin, the crypto meme coin, he launched it a day before becoming president, that people who are hardcore crypto heads, like partisans of crypto, love crypto, think it's the future, they were disparaging it as a blatant grift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
This is going to be a ransacking, a pillaging, a plundering. It's going to be corrupt. I think the first day and the executive orders he signed confirmed all the worst fears and also made the people who are extending some, you know, sense of good faith look a little silly. It's going to it's going to be bad. Just the question to me is like, how bad? And what it implicates for all of us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
But yes, it is not going to be good. The government is not going to be run well. That's one thing I feel confident predicting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
That's a really good question. I'm still – first of all, let me be honest. I'm still sorting through them. I think there's a few. The worst in terms of its intent is the revocation of birthright citizenship, which is a foundational American right. It's plainly in the text of the 14th Amendment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
It was put in the text of the 14th Amendment by the second founding generation of this country who came together to write the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments after the bloody Civil War to try to found a multiracial pluralistic democracy. The naturalized that I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Please continue to attack that to attack. That is the cornerstone of of is to attack the foundation of the project of the nation's second founding after the Civil War, which is a multiracial democracy. It is a distinguishing characteristic, birthright citizenship in the U.S. It's one of our finest attributes. He cannot undo it through a piece of paper. It's in the Constitution.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
But in terms of what that represented, not in terms of its effect, which I hope will be essentially nothing, that was the most insidious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
It's a great question. It should, again... Who knows with this with the Supreme Court, it should get blocked immediately and then challenged and then thrown out blatantly unconstitutional. The plain text of the Constitution means what the plain text of the Constitution means.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
And so in that respect, in terms of the effect it's going to have, I don't think necessarily that was the worst, because I hope to your point that it gets it basically gets thrown out and doesn't go to effect. The.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
the pardons and commutations for the january 6 folks including people that like assaulted cops people getting out of prison who had 22 years for seditious conspiracy i mean that just says something it's not just that granting them this clemency itself is is bad though it is it's the message it communicates about the
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
about political violence, about his support for political violence, about his encouraging future political violence. That that is pretty dangerous stuff that he's playing with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Objectively, I'm always objective.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Yeah, I don't think I don't support the Hunter Biden pardon. I think it was the wrong thing to do. I think the difference is in the details of the cases. I mean, it should be really clear. Hunter Biden was prosecuted for what's called felon in possession. which is extremely rare case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
I mean, we're talking about a handful of cases, despite the fact there are tens, hundreds of thousands, millions of addicts across the country. Basically, he had a gun and he said he wasn't a drug addict when he got it, but he was a drug addict. There are former federal prosecutors, including former Republican congressmen, who say this thing is never, ever, ever charged.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
The only reason that he was charged was because his name was Hunter Biden. He was on the wrong side of essentially presidential privilege.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
and and that would be the justification for that uh for that pardon i i still think because he's your son and you're the president you shouldn't do it but on the merits it was just as an empirical matter an extremely extremely extremely rare form of prosecution that was brought to bear on him and i think it's inarguably it's because of what his last name was now that said look
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
If they had gone through and they had taken a class of three or 400 of those folks convicted for January 6th, who never assaulted a cop, never celebrated what they did, walked into the building and walked out, possibly that's more defensible. They did not do that. This was a full jailbreak. And in fact, J.D.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Vance, just days before they did it, said, obviously, you shouldn't give clemency to people that assaulted police officers. People that assaulted police officers got sprung yesterday. I mean, we've got the tape.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
Like you could look at them bashing in the heads of cops and now they're walking the streets like that is on a completely different level than than anything that that happened in terms of Biden pardons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
well i think that i look i think like all of us in this age i wrestle with being inside my own head you know i mean i think i don't know if you guys are this way we walk around all day with podcasts in your ears if you if you leave your car in the in the if you leave your phone in the car and you stop and double park you run to a starbucks and you're getting a cup of coffee and you reach for the phone and it's not there then you have this moment of panic you're like oh
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
What's that moment of panic? Like, why has it become harder and harder to live with our own thoughts, to be alone with ourselves? And the reason is we are being conditioned away from it. And the more we're conditioned away from it, the more difficult it is to be with our own thoughts. But being with our own thoughts is the stuff of life. It's all we got. We don't get to outrun our own head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Chris Hayes and His Brass Chain (feat. Chris Hayes)
So for me, the project of this book and the project I'm trying to work through is what are we running from? Like, how do we get back to being okay with our own thoughts? How can I go for a 20 minute walk and just, you know, be in my brain and not need some escape?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Do we have to give him credit?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I think we do, Dan, because of the drive. If they did not go down the field and score and they ended up losing the game 27-19, I think we would have been a lot more critical. The fact that he got the game tied with a minute and a half to go after a bad first half. I think you've got to give him credit. Now, is he as good as Mahomes? No. Is he as good as Allen? No. Is he as good as Burrow? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I don't think he's as good as Stafford. He's a two-time MVP, doggy. But he's three and five in a postseason. That's right. You tell him, doggy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
You know, the fact that Tony Romo, for the second time in a month, went on the air on Sunday to tell us that Harbaugh is an all-time top, whatever it might be, coach. Tony, have you heard of Belichick? Have you heard of Lombardi? Have you heard of Parcells, Gibbs, Paul Brown, George Hallis, Bill Walsh? Have you heard of Andy Reid? Have you heard of some of these guys? I mean, that is outlandish.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I mean, Harbaugh's done a good job. He's won one Super Bowl. He's been to one Super Bowl in 15 years, 18, 20 years. Let's take it easy. Please, take it easy. And I'll tell you right now, I am so sick of Kansas City. If I see Caitlin Clark or Taylor Swift one more time in that freaking suite, I'm going to go throw up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
And if Mahomes gets one more call, the whole chief organization gets nothing but calls. How the hell do they call those two people?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
roughing the passers and then Mahomes is mocking the officials by trying to get a third call by dancing out of bounds and see if he can figure out a way to get another 15 free yards that was a disgrace on Saturday afternoon and I'm not saying Kansas City won the game because of that but they got a field goal in the first third and eight roughing the passer on Will Anderson which is an awful call
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
And then they got the second one when he pretended to go out of bounds, didn't, and they gave him another 15 yards, which led to a touchdown. The NFL should be embarrassed with the amount of falls that Kansas City gets. Year after year after year, it drives, I don't know how you feel about it, I am chiefed out and it drives me crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
You know what they care about? The volume of the voice. That's what they care about. When I get into it and go loud, that's when everybody, my poor wife, and remember, I'm an empty nester right now, and my poor wife gets it. Can you calm down a minute? But it's your passion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You should have an engine for the career that you've got. Anyway, so the world, at least me, is going to root like hell for Buffalo on Sunday night. I don't want to see Chiefs-Eagles again. Please, please, whatever you can do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Last Tuesday in London, you'd be amazed. Frozen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
That's a good question. Let me think. Since ever? I mean, he has played so well. God, he's good. No mistakes in the postseason. I'd have to go back and look what Luckman did. I'd have to go. Brady didn't win as a rookie. Marino? Marino? Marino came in late. But was that his second year when they got to the Super Bowl? I think so. It was his second, right, Danny?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Marino would be the other person. But listen, Daniel, Marino didn't make the championship game his first year. That was his second year when they got the Super Bowl in 85 because he came out of the 83 draft. This kid is doing it in his rookie year. He had all those starts in college. I give them a chance on Sunday. You know, Hurts' injury is going to be interesting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
And the Buffalo-Kansas City game is fascinating. I thought McDermott was very conservative late in the second half, or really the whole second half on Sunday. He's not going to have to. He can't do that this week. He's got to be as aggressive as hell. I don't know how you feel about it. I've had enough of the Chiefs. Let's play for the Bills on Sunday. Play for the Bills.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I did a show yesterday because of all the games. Yeah, I guess the other thing would be this. How about these Ohio State fans who, for weeks, wanted Ryan Day basically run out of town because he lost to Michigan when they were already... And then, in fact, they win four in a row in convincing fashion and play great doing it. And now all of a sudden, you know, he's the incarnate of Woody Hayes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
You talk about a bunch of phonies and you talk about those Buckeye fans who think in this era when the end game is more important than any regular season game. Nobody at Ohio State or Ann Arbor should care that much about Ohio State and Michigan. The idea is to win in the postseason. That is the idea. And that is what Ohio State would... I'll ask an Ohio State fan this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Would they rather have beaten Michigan the Saturday after Thanksgiving and not have a flag planted at midfield? Yes, yes. Or would they rather have had that or rather gotten... blown out by Tennessee. No, they'd be fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Oh, come on. The Michigan game means nothing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Put it on the poll, Juju. Should Ohio State... I'll grant you it would be a touch sweeter if the Michigan win was part of this run, but the bottom line is... In my eyes, the four-game run is far significant to losing to Michigan. Who cares?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I'm not a big Sirianni fan, but you're making an excellent point. And now that's two guys. They play hard for him. You know, Barkley likes him. He made the right decision not playing him in week 18 against the Giants, which nobody cared about. That was a obviously a big performance by Barkley on those big running plays. He's got a banged up quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
He's done a good job revamping that defense with Fangio. You guys know him well. And the Eagle fan also. I had a lot of calls yesterday telling me, well, you know, I was never worried Sunday. Never worried? What are you, crazy? I mean, the Rams had a first down at the 21-yard line with a minute left with about to win the game. How can you not be worried, for crying out loud?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
embarrassing it was but i enjoyed it i can guarantee you that baby um listen i i was did that thing on first take and i had done the complete unknown stuff for a while because i love the promos i love dylan and everything else but when i went on there on january 2nd uh i said okay let's do a mad about and let's do a mad about about me about how i couldn't get a seat to the premiere
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Nothing. Yeah, well, he got to the 1-1 FC championship. Yeah, those fans are tricky. I completely agree. It's a very fickle fan base. All fan bases are up and down, but they're beyond crazy with being up and down. And again, he has to win it all. I think him and McDermott have a lot of pressure on him. I think McDermott has to beat the Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
You can't go 0-4 against Kansas City in the postseason. It's not as much pressure on Allen because he's played well against Kansas City in the past. That's a lot of pressure on McDermott. They have to win the game. For him, he's going to get some heat if he doesn't. And I think Sirianni, as you just said, Danny, I think Sirianni is going to have to... Can't lose to Washington.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
He's his five-point favorite. And, you know, he lost two years ago. Again, I thought the call was a bad call under the circumstances. He probably has to win it. So I think those two have the most... Quinn's got no pressure on him. Reid, what are you going to say? He's won three titles. He's got no pressure on him. The two...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
coaches that need to win in the worst way is buffalo and philadelphia and because that fan base is nuts sirianni probably more they'd be all over them because they're also a bigger favorite and their home than the buffalo one but mcdermott needs to win this game it's a big game for mcdermott he needs eventually you're gonna have to beat andy reed in a big spot and they have lost a lot of playoff games and again great teams have beaten them but they need to win this year we shall see

The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
How would he like to go to one of the premieres in Europe? So it was London, it was Paris, and it was Rome. And I looked at the calendar, looked at when the football games were. Rome was a Friday, so I didn't want to go there because I missed the NFL. Wednesday, Paris. I thought maybe the Q&A would be in French, so I wouldn't hear that properly. So that's why I picked London.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I flew over there last Monday, took my daughter, who was 24, on Wednesday. Embarrassing. Behold, Chalamet did an absolutely tremendous job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Last Thursday, I had to wait in line in that cold weather at that Royal Theater in Norwalk. They don't know me. Five seats? Yeah, but right back, I had to sit in the front row. I had to sit in the front row!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Where's Charlamagne by the way, hot stuff? Shows that I have no power. That was on January 2nd, Danny. That was on January. Now, I did not do that thinking that somehow, some way, because I had been screaming about this movie for a month and nobody had reacted at all. Radio, TV, everything. Nobody said a word. I'm going to argue. That one doesn't count.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I wanted to give Joe the credit because they call time. You are funny, leprechaun. You are funny. You are funny. But anyway. I know after I did that, a day or so later, Chalamet spoke called Shirt's Light. Let's get him a couple tickets to one of our premieres. So I went and I wasn't going to take my daughter. I was going to take my youngest son who loves movies and he goes to Loyola Marymount.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
But he's mad that I got Chalamet and he didn't. So he didn't want to do it. So that's where Kira Russo came in. And there is the shot of Chalamet. And the nicest guy in the world. Stugatz, look at that. The nicest guy in the world. Oh, what a nice kid. And forget me. He signed every autograph for those fans who lined that red carpet. He took pictures. He grasped the idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
On the set or on the stage before the movie was presented, he did a great job, talked about the L.A. fires. I mean, I can't tell you how. And then he's doing Saturday Night Live this week, as you guys know. So I can't tell you how good he did. What a nice kid. What a nice kid. Doggy Djokovic, huh? Oh, I know. Yeah. I got up at 5.15 to watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
You know, he lost the first set, and he was right in the middle of the first set, and he had to take a medical timeout because he hurt his groin. He came back in the second set, got a little more aggressive, Alcrez a little off, and Djokovic just, he had a great second serve, much more offensive than normal. He got a little healthier. That's a hell of a win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
37 years of age, beating Alcarez in four sets, winning three in a row. Now he's in the semifinals of Australia, which he's won 10 times. We're getting off the beaten path, but that's a hell of a win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
100%, Dan. Remember, he beat him in Paris when he won the Olympic gold medal, which he really wanted to do. He won in straight sets and tie-break sets, took three hours on the clay. He did not win a major last year, Djokovic. He lost, you know, he didn't win, he got to some finals, but he lost. Obviously, Alcaraz beat him in two straight Wimbledon finals. Alcaraz is an all-timer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
He's going to be, and Alcaraz handled himself great today. I mean, even after he lost, he's a very, very cool guy. He's a good loser. And Djokovic did a hell of a job. I mean, he had some offense today. He served big. And in one of the sets, he was up 3-0. I think it was the third set of the set apiece. He was up 3-0, lost three straight games. And you figure, all right, he's had his little run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Now he's dead. And he hung on to win the set. So I give him a lot of credit. He plays Zverev next in one of the semifinals. He's still got to beat Sinner, who's on the other side of the draw. That will be absolutely tricky. It's amazing, Dan, how you went from Chalamet, red carpet London, to Melbourne, quarterfinals Djokovic. Talk about transition. That's a hell of a job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Oh, I know that. I'm well aware. He follows me. I've got to be careful with him because his idol might be a little strong, Dan. I'm a sports fan firsthand. And so, you know, I haven't watched that much of the Australian Open yet because it's been a week earlier this year, which means it's in the middle of all the football. So I've stayed away. I'll be on top of it this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
You know, Djokovic plays out, he's 37 years of age. How many more times is he going to get a chance to be on this stage?

That is fair. Now, Dylan does like Chalamet's performance. He put that tweet out. And I don't want to come across as this Dylan expert. There are a lot more people older than me who know a lot more about Dylan than I do. Eddie Coleman, the old New York Met guy from FAN, is one. My buddy Sean McAdams is two. But I love the songs. Have you seen the movie yet, by the way, both of you guys?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Have you seen it or not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I mean, listen, the movie's great. I was really impressed with the London audience. They laughed at the right spots. You know, outside of me having to go to the bathroom and calling over nine million people. What happened there? What happened? Did you lose your seats?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
And I know, you know, they gave me the seats in the middle of the theater, Kira and I. So I said to myself, this is going to be dangerous. The movie's 220. I had to sit there through the little prelim with the three actors, Monica Barbaro, Norton and Chalamet. I have to I'm definitely, you know, I'm 65 years of age. You know, I get up nine times during the night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I knew I was going to be in a situation where I was going to have to crawl over somebody. The seats weren't good enough. I had to pick my spot for English people and I'm crawling over hands and knees. You know, I knew where the movie kind of slowed up. So I picked a spot to do it. And then I saw the conclusion of the movie again in the back of the theater. Anyway, loved every minute of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
He does a great job. And, you know, I love the songs. It's authentic. It did not disappoint. Now, be fair, Dan, be fair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
when i started on this little complete unknown rampage i did it five or six months ago i did not do it with the idea well let me do this enough times and somebody from the movie will find out about it and as a result i'll get preferential treatment that was the furthest thing from my mind now it worked out that way But that was the thought.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
To be fair, and I'd be the first to tell you if I did this with a pre-planned, but that was not my plan going in. Not my plan. I got to be fair. It wasn't my plan.

I may have gotten carried away. Not after Sunday, I don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
And, you know, can you meet the media after the game, guys? You know, when you drop fumble and you drop a big pass before Jackson's fumble and then you drop the two-point conversion, can you meet the media after the game? I mean, is that asking too much? Put it on the poll, Juju.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
Say it to somebody. I remember Diggs last year after he dropped that pass, which probably would have won a game against Kansas City for Buffalo. He didn't meet the media either. These guys are hot stuff. They meet the media and they put everything out when they do well, but when they do badly, they don't win. They are hot stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
It drives me crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
I would have been nice about it. It was his first fumble of the year. I thought the fumble at midfield was worse than a two-point conversion. And I say that because I think even if he caught it, 140 to go, Buffalo two timeouts, Bassett already made a 51-yard field goal. I think Buffalo probably would have gone down the field and maybe win the game with a field goal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Doggy On a Tuesday (feat. Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo)
But the fumble at 24-19, if he doesn't and they score and, let's see, go up three, they would have been no worse than overtime. So I thought the fumble at midfield actually was worse than the draft two-point conversion myself. And, you know, let's give Jackson credit. You know, I mean, he did have the two turnovers, but he drove his team down the field. He bounced back.

Oh, I get to pick? I would think something else. No, you just read it off the wheel. The wheel picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Oh, right. Okay, I think NIT. It landed on NIT. You think so? It was wavering, and then, you know, the paddle, and then it went over at the last second. Okay. The NIT tournament and the other pretender tournaments... There's even a new one. I think there's three now. But the NIT and those people, they need to disappear. OK, 68 teams is enough. Everything else is a leftover.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
If you win the NIT tournament, don't cut a net. Don't act all happy about winning that trophy. It doesn't matter. You're leftovers. 68 teams is enough. All the other tournaments should be disbanded. I really believe that. And if I were a self-respecting head coach who missed out on the NCAA tournament, I wouldn't accept a bid. I would tell my players, we weren't good enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
We didn't make the only tournament that matters. They make money off of going. I know they do, and money drives everything, unfortunately. And now we're so mad for content, we're so desperate for content, that there's always going to be a market for the secondary tournament and the third tournament and the fourth tournament. It's like giving out a ribbon for finishing last in a race.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
You don't deserve it. You didn't make the NCAA tournament. You've had a less than successful season. Let it be. How many years in a row have you done this, just this take? I mean, it's a take-up believed in for a long time. You know, I didn't pick it. I mean, the wheel picked it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
I'm telling you what, it's a nightmare. It's a landscape on fire. The NIT used to have that lane to itself, right? The NIT was the also-ran tournament. There was no competition. And now there's the one you mentioned. There's a new tournament. There's at least three and perhaps four big-level tournaments now competing. And so the NIT is getting its back up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
The NIT is saying, hey, we were the also-ran tournament for a long time, didn't have any competition. Now we have other made-up tournaments competing for our also-ran teams. It's ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Also, the NIT used to be the premier tournament, right, like back in the 50s before the NCAA took over. I think it's Premier League. Yeah. It was very prestigious to play in the NIT.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah, the knit. Call it the knot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And my pap was the manager of Duquesne. They won the NIT, I believe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Oh, wow. I am thrilled by this. Getting to talk about Tommy John. Tommy John is known for two things, surgery and underwear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Tommy John, wait a step on my punchline. Tommy John surgery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
It's like Garrett Cole, you know, Tommy John surgery. A couple of things. Number one. Tommy John did an interview. He's 81 years old, still alive, God bless him. He did an interview with AARP Magazine a couple of years ago. He's against Tommy John surgery, which they named after him because Frank Jobe, the surgeon, wanted to give it a name that people would remember.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah, because that's not just tall. That's freakishly tall, right? Like if you're 6'6 or 6'7, you're really tall. You stand out, but it's sort of normal tall. When I see somebody 7'9, I feel bad for them, and I thank the stars that I'm 5'9, to be honest with you. The stars you're thanking for that. Yeah. You know what I did the other day?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Tommy John rightly thinks that there's too many Tommy John surgeries now. They're too routine and the majority, like 60% of Tommy John surgeries are to high school age pitchers. He's against that, and I think he's got a point. The other thing is— He's against their arms getting hurt? He's against his name being associated with it? He's against too many surgeries.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
He's against the surgery named after him being used— The play through the pain.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
You're 100% right. He's certainly not saying play through the paint, which is ridiculous. Tommy John Underwear comes out, and poor Tommy John, he's thinking of suing Tommy John Underwear, which is unaffiliated with him, only to find out that he couldn't afford the lawyer in that case. But as Levittard mentioned, stepping on my punchline,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Tommy John, and take it from a baseball Hall of Fame voter, Tommy John deserves to make the Hall of Fame. The only other pitcher since 1900 with that many pitching wins not to be in the Hall of Fame is Roger Clemens because of steroids. So Tommy John... is Hall of Fame worthy on just about every level. His career ERA is like 3.3, which is really, really good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
So instead of just knowing him for surgery and underwear, put this man in the Hall of Fame while he's still alive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Genuinely, it's insane. And if you have to go to the DMV in Miami, good luck. Lehman drove to Vero Beach twice last year to get his car registered. That's like 150-mile drive both ways. That's where Wild Bill's from. We could not get an appointment at the DMV here. It's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Christopher, I think I've told you that I do this occasionally. There's a step stool in my garage. It's two steps, so it's like this tall. Occasionally, I stand on the step stool just to imagine how it would be to be seven feet tall. And it is so weird. Because your whole perspective changes. You are a different person. If you have a stepstool, stand on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
But, like, if you want to go to the one at, like, Magic City, you can't get an appointment. Like, the last time I tried, which was, like, two or three years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Okay, but some people can't do that because they have work, and they can't be, like, out standing in a line at 4 a.m. to get into the DMV just to get their license renewed. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
You know, it's too bad Dan's wife doesn't know anybody really important who could like make a phone call and sort of circumvent some of these.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah, it should be against the law. scalping government uh access like that it really should be but but the secondary market uh changed the music concert industry when i was growing up you'd wait literally wait in line overnight just to get a rolling stones ticket as soon as they went on sale now
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
you know there you can barely get one and you end up having to pay a lot more on the secondary market right let me uh spin the wheel uh real quick here one last time here see if we can get greg cody's what does it say there greg okay i had to wait because it was just wavering uh aaron rogers Still unsigned. He's holding the NFL hostage. He's going to wind up with the Giants or the Steelers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Some people still want to float that Minnesota Vikings rumor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Well, he does, but they're committed to J.J. McCarthy, assuming he's completely healthy from what kept him out all last year as a rookie. But it does make you wonder, though, that if Aaron Rodgers has been, is good enough for the Steelers and the Giants, why wasn't he good enough for the Jets? Is Justin Fields better? I think that's something in retrospect that you can ask. But...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Aaron Rodgers, he's on fumes, but he's still a big name. And if he goes to the Giants, I think that's where he needs to be. Do for the Giants what he never could do for the Jets. His ego needs the big city. So at his age, 41, 42, he's still a major player in this league. Who's he holding hostage? He's holding the team's hostage that Pittsburgh and the Giants make a decision already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Make a decision. They need to move on. The draft's right around the corner. Make a decision so that the team you don't pick can move on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Put yourself in a seven-footer's shoes for just a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
No, no. When I say he's holding hostage, he's holding the two teams that really, really want him. They need to move on. They need to get another quarterback if he's going to say no, and most of the quarterback options are gone now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
The best spots are available for him now, and they were two weeks ago. I said on this air a couple of weeks ago, the options for him are dwindling, and now it's down to two or three, if you believe the fibs about the Vikings. So make a decision already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
It is being reported by people I trust that the Vikings are committed to J.J. McCarthy. And we all know that Aaron Rodgers isn't going anywhere as a backup, right? And so make your decision already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
You guys are just begging someone to talk about the Terry Rozier Osama should have hooped tweet, right? You guys remember that one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Just he should have hooped. He's tall as hell. No one remembers that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
I think it's interesting, though, because when you're growing up extra tall, you're made fun of. Not always, obviously, but it's a common bullying technique if you're freakishly tall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
I feel like this is Chris's expertise. Yes, I know bullying. As a ginger kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Okay, but I've talked to Ron McGill about how he was bullied for being taller than everybody else growing up. Your mother grew very quickly. She was like 5'8 at age 13. It was terrible for her. And my mom's a ginger. Man, that must have been tough growing up for my mom. You should talk to her about that sometime. Seriously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Also, the Lynx have won four championships in the last two decades.

He could be in a tiny house.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Wait, did Greg see the video of the guy, the cameo that Greg was in? Because that should be a one seed. So if that guy is against a really tall guy, the one seed obviously is going to be a blowout.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah. Also, James Comey was 6'8", and people used to say he should have hooped, too. Wow. Lee and I will walk up and down with our dog up and down the trail and be like, wow, that person was – when we see a tall person, we always say he should have hooped, and it's like a reference to that. And now, you know, if you guys were there, you wouldn't even understand it. But now you will.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah. I'm sure there's been plenty of people who were tall and gave it a shot just because everyone was saying, you should play basketball. They tried and they were awful. Just terrible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Yeah, but that outrage presumes that West Virginia has a strong argument, which is extremely... Not a strong argument, just a stronger one than North Carolina. It's extremely debatable on that, okay? And television ratings do matter. Program heritage does matter. And North Carolina is incomparably higher than West Virginia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
The analogy I used when we were talking off air is that if you're the college football playoff committee picking that 12th team and the choices are Alabama and Tulane, That's a no-da decision, all other things being equal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
They're the first team out. And they had some really, really bad losses last year. And it's a field of 68 teams. So it's like... It's a lot different than college football where it's four teams and now it's 12 teams and there's automatic bids and everything like that. But you're really arguing about a really, really small select number of teams. This is a lot of teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
There's obviously 31 automatic bids, but then there's a bunch of at-large bids, over 30 of them. And it's like, okay, you got to make some choices. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Also, more people don't care about West Virginia basketball than do just statistically in the world. So we represent the majority.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: A Second Greg Cote "Zip Your Lip"
Patently ridiculous. L. Duncan agreed with me. It's beneath the office of the governor, and the attorney general was appointed by the governor, so that's his puppet just moving like a marionette to whatever the governor says. It's just it's a waste of taxpayer money. Like Jeremy said, you're talking about the 68th spot in the tournament. It's not even worth any outrage whatsoever. Just grow up.

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?

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.

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.

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.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
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.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Toy Drive With Cuban Santa
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.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

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?

Can we do the oral history the second half the most honestly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Loose ends. I want to know what Greg Cody means by that. And I ask the audience, because Stugatz, we had such a fun basketball game last night. It is rare with as much attention span as we're giving the games for Cade Cunningham to have a second half that would announce himself at Madison Square Garden on, oh, you know when New York matters and when you break New York's heart? Mm-hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You've arrived, kid. The Detroit Pistons are like, no, we're better than you all thought we were. And the reason is our all-star. He crushes you in the second half. Foul trouble in the first half. And then he buries Kat and Brunson when Kat and Brunson are putting up numbers.

But the Knicks are playing great, but I don't want to do that. I want to know what the loose ends are. I do. Sure.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Look, my horse syndicate is asking me yesterday, telling me that my deadline is up. Do I want to reinvest in Conway? I got to deal with that. That's a loose end. That's a loose end. That's a loose end.

No, that seems bigger than a loose end. That's bigger than a loose end. That's business.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
That's business. Exactly. That's just a to-do list. That's not a loose end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You're tying up loose ends. Loose ends are two- and three-minute things. Loose ends are not business syndicate deals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
No, but that's me answering an email saying, yes, I definitely want to re-up with Comley. Right. Quick, easy. Yeah. Yeah, and I have an offer to write another book. Really? That's not a loose end. It's a loose end because it's something I want to deal with right now. A book offer? I don't want to say yes. It's his loose end? That's not a loose end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Okay, well, that's another one. That's a loose end. That takes forever. That's another thing I do that your mother never does is empty the dishwasher.

You guys are playing with fire. You guys are playing with fire. Why? Because Greg Cody thinks that he exists to live as a toddler all of his remaining days and his wife, a partner in a firm. dwarfs him in every successful measure, but because he's big-timey sports columnist with some local fame, Greg Cody can't do anything else well other than fry a turkey on his driveway in bare feet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
That's a very good question. Yep. That's an excellent question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yeah. Thank you. How many presents has she wrapped? Right. How many podcasts does she host? There's a lot of things I do that she doesn't. You know, let's be honest. But loose ends can be major. They don't have to be minutia. And so when I say I got to tie up a couple of loose ends, just trust that I mean it. But that's just right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
No, but me negotiating a contract for a new book is not a loose end. A loose end is me answering an email that says, that sounds like an interesting idea. Let me get back to you. Okay, that's a loose end. You'll kick the can down the road. Yes, exactly. I'm a can kicker. That's negotiating. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah. You all right? I'm still getting over this thing that's kicking my ass. Six years. No, no, no. Come on.

Because of my preexisting condition, when I have a cold or something, it hits me harder. You might want to tie up that loose end. They don't let him. They keep nagging him. That's bigger than a loose end.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yeah. I have not, we are belching out a lot of content, okay? I have not laughed harder at anything we've made in any corner of the company this week than sniffing around the Greg Cody YouTube channel and just seeing Chris Cody being able to predict that his father was about to start coughing based on the number of laughs his father had previously wheezed.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
on his father finding himself entertaining. The executive producing genius of getting in a tight window and hitting his dad with, here comes a cough, and getting out as soon as his father went careening from the screen with coughs in an office from the 1980s. while insisting his son do better and his wife pack better bags because, God damn it, he's got a successful podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
And he's going to cough and wheeze his way to every last profit in it. He'll get to those book deals as loose ends. He'll get to that horse syndicate as loose ends.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's actually a very compelling either or. What? Yeah, no, it is. For you. How? How?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
How do you disrespect this union this way?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
How do you do this? It's not disrespecting a union. It's having faith and trust in my wife. I'm very secure in my marriage. I don't necessarily believe in open marriage, but it's not something that I condemn. Right. And I believe that much in a wrapped gift. A perfectly wrapped gift. Perfectly wrapped gift. Here's another thing. Nobody uses bows anymore and ribbons. You're right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
When you wrap a gift, take the extra effort to put a bow on it. And be careful where you place the bow. The bow doesn't need to be right in the center of the rectangle or the square. I prefer a bow on a far corner. Do you really? Not smack in the middle, huh? I prefer a far corner bow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yeah. You know, I don't mind the pre-made bow because I've tried to make my own bows out of ribbon. Not that easy. Yeah. Not that easy. It's an art. Yeah. It is an art. But I also like ribbon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I like the thicker ribbon. I loathe the really thin ribbon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Very tricky. The width of a pencil, yeah. We want to eliminate that ribbon altogether. It's for birthday. It's not for Christmas or Hanukkah. That's for sure. Yeah, that's for sure.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yeah, I couldn't begin to, you know, the Helium Depot, I guess, is the place I'd send you to. But there's a party city near me, and there's a big sign on their window. I think it said 99% off. I don't believe that. Are you telling me I can get a $30 statue for $29.70 off? I mean, for 30 cents, no, that's not happening. Well, they're going out of business, though. I know. Right. Yeah, they are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
So maybe you can. Taking them a long time to go out of business. I know, they're doing the Elton John thing. It's like the longest farewell tour I've ever heard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You know what you could do? You could flip gravity and instead of using helium, just hang your balloons from the ceiling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I like that, Greg. It's a great idea. That's another loose end I just invented. You know, that's something that you have to think about it. You know, who needs helium?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I don't think I have this wrong, though. I really don't. Do I have it wrong that loose ends, if someone tells you they'll be there in 15 minutes, I've got to tie up some loose ends, you're legitimately thinking needs to take the trash out. Or the dog out before I go. Like a small task. It needs to do something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
When I say loose end, am I not almost instantaneously telling you that's something that takes fewer than five minutes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
It is a detail you have to handle that's not abstract about I need to make a life choice about where my future goes. A book deal is not a loose end.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I didn't see that one coming. I've got to be honest. He surprised me with that one. That was a cleaver. I usually see where his cleavers are coming from. I was looking the other way, enjoying ourselves, and he got me. He's right. I don't know what I'm talking about here. Much like yesterday, I legitimately did not know what I was talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Chris, I'm telling you, this woke me up last night in my sleep. It was a funny thing to have wake me up. The Pistons? The Vikings. Oh, God. So, I...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
thought to myself that yesterday on the show when we were talking I'm like there are five teams that we know I'm saying there are six teams we know we're good I initially started five or six I think I said five six and then I settled on six and now I was trapped I was stuck up in the air because I've been calling the Vikings a fraud all season long I've told you this is how it ends with Sam Darnold the way it ended against the Lions the wheels come off you those are I mean Hawkinson
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Stugatz, Jefferson, you're talking about skill position players that are best. When Naylor's your third receiver and you've got Jones in the backfield, if you're not making those skill guys work, you're the skill guy problem, right? And that's what it keeps coming down to when we do some of these measurements on things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Like, oh, with the right coach and the right skill guys, if that's as strong as any in the league, if they stay healthy, we can scheme our way Scheme our way to hiding Sam Darnold right up until we run into the coach who had Sam Darnold. Right up until the coach who couldn't make anything of Sam Darnold when he was choosing between, who do I want my next quarterback to be?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Do I want a Baker Mayfield? Do I want to look at like Goff? Everyone runs through here. I'm the quarterback whisperer. Sam Darnold becomes a thing that was going to be paid a lot of money, right? Stugatz couldn't make it work with the Jets. We don't know how to measure quarterbacks. And yet my shitty analysis all season, lazy as hell, lazy as hell, is like, nope, Sam Darnold won't win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You know why? Because he's Sam Darnold.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
But then yesterday he got caught up in the air. He made them a good team. And we made them a good team. And I, in the air, constructed the argument. Well, they're 14-3. They must be. No, I knew they weren't. But I didn't stick to my guns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I did confuse there Shanahan and McVay. The people who make quarterbacks. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Nobody wants him now, I guarantee you, because he's Sam Darnold again. He was pretending to be somebody who was better than Sam Darnold. Now he has reverted to the mean. He's Sam Darnold again.

A woman who was out swimming with her friends is believed to have been swallowed whole by a 13-foot shark without any of her friends noticing. That's the weirdest part about that story.

Classic Shelly. Exactly right. Stoogatz. She went quietly, apparently. If I'm swallowed whole by a shark, you're going to know it. This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stoogatz.

You know what is wonderful? What is wonderful about what just happened there? Because, yes, everyone, stand back and salute. Off of that game last night, everyone's eating at this trough. Everyone, everyone is looking, what's the space I can occupy that no one can occupy? Everyone's going to have to take that I just did. I, Sam Darnold, was Sam Darnold.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Chris has said something that is almost purposely outrageous and outlandish and also true. True. Because everyone wants the $50 million contract. Yes, but then what are they paying for? Oh, the expectations. No. Get those off of me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Well, Chris is the anti-attitude. Chris is the anti-athlete mentality of, please give me all the money. Don't make me do any of the work. I just want the money. And Sam Darnold now, no expectations can go back to being Sam Darnold. What we all thought Sam Darnold was instead of what Sam Darnold dreamed he could be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Whoa. I don't know what that means. A whole lot of people are saying not that guy to others. Not that guy. Cam Newton says Jason Whitlock's not that guy. Jason Whitlock hits him over the head with a Bible. You got eight kids by three women. That's what we're doing. Those are the games we're playing. Those are the loose ends. In the politics fight.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
How'd the Bible come into this? Yeah, politics.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yeah, but he's a fragile that guy. He's a slightly better guy than the one they had. Is he that guy? He's just a guy. He's a fragile that guy. Baker Mayfield, still a fragile that guy.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
What happened? I'll tell you what happened. Hold on. Greg, don't move. Don't move, Greg. Don't move. Stop. Freeze. What happened is, okay, and you have to be gentle with Greg Cody on Greg Cody Tuesdays. We were clearly all ready and prepared to start, because live is dangerous, and we were ready to jostle Greg Cody awake, but he was doing something. He was busy doing- Show prep, yeah.

Kirk Cousins went from being that guy, that guy, that guy four times.

Wait a minute. Jared Goff was not that guy. Now he's that guy.

Wait a minute, that's the easiest. Hold on a second. Wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Come on. That's a good name. You might be that guy. You might be. You ruined the game. We could have played that guy for months, and you ruined it by throwing Bryce Young.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You can fluctuate. It's just a guy. It can go week to week, honestly. Guy is a fragile thing. Wait a minute. Tua might be that guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Might not. Wait a minute. When he feels like playing. Wait a minute. You're telling everybody that C.J. Stroud is just a guy, which means you're also then going to make Justin Herbert just a guy, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Wait a minute. I believe that what you have done, you tell me if there's a better one than this. I believe that you have just brought a guy to the limits of where a guy can exist to insult C.J. Stroud. I believe you're not taking into account how hard that position is to play and how hard it's been to play as him this season with pressure up the middle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
For you to hit him from over here with a guy, give me a better quarterback that you insult more than C.J. Stroud by just calling him a guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
He's been that guy even before last night. Yeah, Matt Stafford is that guy. Yeah. Is he just Matthew now? He used to be Matt, didn't he?

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Roy, we'll wait for you. That's fine. I'm a little bit confused. I really want to dissect what's just— By the guy thing? No, no, I wanted to stay there. But Roy has decided that whatever his today miseries are, need to interrupt what we're doing here with six minutes left in a live segment so that he can tell us all about how miserable he is. We'll get to that in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
chariot how about that well but you understand my confusion though right like i i'm sitting here doing a show and for the first time in months the entire room has seized on something a guy the guy and what comes into my room a sad gladiator that guy satiator yep A sad gladiator comes in and I could see, like, I could see there were a few minutes left in the segment. I'm like, this is curious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Well, I want to know what he was doing. Hold on, Greg, I asked you not to move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Roy has never done this before. Do you know how good Roy is at not getting in the way of anything that we're doing around here? He has been doing that well for 20 years. For him to come into a room so deeply moping that he would interrupt was, I was watching the ball bounce around the room in a way that was delighting me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yeah, but he comes in dressed as a gladiator, but he's also downtrodden. He should be. No, because of how violating, how invasive it is. To have your things just stolen. Is that a loose end? Taken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Greg, I asked you not to move because his son is barking in his ear. Dad, headphones. But his dad can't hear him because he's not wearing headphones. And so the show starts. Greg's cans aren't on. His old-timey cans aren't on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
That is bigger than a loose end. Someone came for all his stuff. A contract offer, but not... Anytime you're having to deal with an insurance company, that's a mega end. Don't get me started.

Let me get to that for a second. Before I do that, put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show. Have you ever seen a guy smiling while jousting on a horse? Because he's right.

Okay, we'll ask Ron McGill later, but I don't want to get too far away from the idea that Roy has been... You're coming in with a man who feels like he is wearing something invasive.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
But Greg is looking. He stops doing what he's doing, and he's looking straight into the microphone, ready to go. except the microphone's not there. It's off to the side. And what's gonna happen is we're gonna start the show and then he's gonna paw at it. And the show's gonna start with him not prepared to start.

And that's not the way I'd prefer my Tuesdays to start with an old friend who says he loves me doing an old-timey radio show. on Tuesdays so that he may age with grace late in his career, one of the few in the media who gets to do so.

He can do it all. He can do both. I've trained him. I've brought him up right. He's multi-talented. He's not spread too thin. He's looking for more and more, and he can do it. But, you know, I'm tying up loose ends. Okay, that's what I do. It's so annoying when he says that.

She's a partner in running a firm.

I don't know the phrase you just said, but Greg Cody Tuesday just got off to a triumphant start during the Shadow Show because... and this was mortifying to watch and listen to, you said some form of keeping balls in the air, and the phrase you used before that was what? Do you remember?

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Loose what? I have loose ends out the ass. And, you know, tying up loose ends. There's a lot of them, and I'm a very organized man, okay? That's why I could never be on a TV show like Chopped, because I don't like juggling things, and, you know, I couldn't be making three foods at once.

Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I'm sorry. He's not a great cook because he hasn't won a single cook-off here at Meadowlark. He has the reputation of a great cook, but when it's been tested on our show, he's lost every time.

Yeah, it could be. I didn't say it, but Billy makes a valid point. Do it in Greg's kitchen. How about that? Yeah, there you go. I'm in a foreign studio here. I'm working with, you know. The turkey cook-off was ridiculous. Roy is in a palatial suite here at the Elser. I'm in a parking garage.

Okay, chances are I'm on my computer, on this very computer. I still call it a laptop. I don't know what it calls itself. And I'm probably doing Herald work. I'm trying to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
What were you doing before the show? You were checking your downloads, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Downloads and YouTube views as well. Greg, show prep. No, I was doing show prep. Show prep. I was preparing something to say in case something on the list came up. You know, I'm a professional man. Why don't you say what you prepared? Go ahead. This is your time. No, because then it would betray a punchline I potentially would use later.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
We'll see what comes up. Just wait for the right time. Let's get to it. It's something on the list. Right. Wait a minute. That kind of thing. And you know it. And you do know it. Thank you. Billy gets me. He really does. And you know it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You know what? I do know that, actually.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You know what? You think you've been fooling us all these years. You think that I don't know that Billy gets you. Yeah, I know Billy gets you to my eternal disgust every Tuesday. It's the best joke we have of any kind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You know me. Yeah. Accept him. Really? Mm-hmm. Adjust to me. Tie up your loose ends. That's what I'm saying. We all have them. We don't admit we have them. That's true. Everybody leads such an organized life. Everybody's afraid to admit they got loose ends. Everybody's got loose ends.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Because people want to be seen as perfectionists, you know? I mean, if Christopher calls me up for lunch and I got five, six loose ends to tie up, I'm going to tell him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
He's asking what does that mean, though? Do we want to go? Look, there's stuff in sports to talk about, okay? There's a playoff game. I woke up in the middle of the night with great remorse because yesterday I identified the Vikings as one of the great teams in all season. I've been saying they're fraudulent. Oh, boy. All season I've been saying, it's going to end just Darnold. It'll end it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
You will not convince me that it will not end. We will not get into an offseason where everyone's like, pay Darnold, because amazing, amazing Darnold, he's won the Super Bowl. That's not what we were going to do. But I legitimately want to know what, like Chris does, what are these loose ends we're talking about? Like, what do you have to do? Do you have to sort some paper clips?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Like, what are the things Greg Cody has to do before leaving the house? Because, and the reason I was mortified before the show was, Greg Cody is very comfortable telling his wife to do more. Just yesterday on our show, both this giant toddler and his oaf of a son said mom needs to do some better job with the wrappings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Because she hasn't done a good enough job with the lawyering partnership stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
She's using bags now. And it's cheating. Look, this woman is a titan of South Florida industry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Terrible. You're getting a gift in a used bag. You know, Gary the Bag Rosenfeld doesn't even do that. He's rolling over. He's rolling over in his bed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Come on. That's a surprisingly difficult question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
She cheats on you once and every gift is perfectly wrapped. Yeah, I do love a perfectly wrapped gift. Come on. Oh, my God. Do not disgrace this union. Half of the joy of opening a gift is unwrapping it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Just a dalliance once in a while. Who knows? Here's the other problem with a gift bag. It's always got the little bloom of tissue paper. They act like I can't see in that bag because of that little piece of tissue paper. Ridiculous.

How do you keep up with those kids? TikTok's going down. How do you keep up with them? I know what we'll do. We got Cody and Stugatz. Let's ride into the sky.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Yes. What does TikTok do for you? It gets me. TikTok gets me. Okay. Lucy was mentioning the other day that during the pandemic on TikTok, she learned how to do her makeup and her hair and all this stuff. If I Google, how do I make up my own face? There's 1,000 videos that come up. So how is that different than TikTok?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
Well, you're not connected to any of these things. So what I assume is that a whole generation that has gotten addicted to the devices in ways that we can't quantify how unhealthy the addiction is, TikTok does it better and more effectively. attuned to manipulating your particular brain so you will get lost in a world where you're more and more addicted to the sugary TikTok.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Tying Up Loose Ends
I thought that was the connection point. I'm terrified of that kind of stuff because I know I have an addictive personality, and so it's the same reason I haven't tried cocaine. I'm like, oh, look, something's got everybody by the nose. In the AI age, and now we're running it out of our country because we're like, that gives China too much power over our young people.

Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
We're trying around here to, you know, connect the shows throughout the week. We have a show and we're like, hey, let's do – so we talked about a corn dog contest. So after that show, we're like, hey, let's do a corn dog contest the next week. And then I woke up today and I was just like, is this – I feel like this is kind of – I don't want my dad to choke on a hot dog. Like I –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
I'm worried about people throwing up. Is it actually that funny? Are we going to be good at it? I just kind of lost enthusiasm for the whole thing this morning.

Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
You know what I had at the Renaissance Festival this past weekend? A deep fried peanut butter and jelly. It was basically like funnel cake with the powder on the outside and you bite into the center of it, some peanut butter and jelly. It was delightful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
That was my first. I went with Roy and our kids last year, and that was the most impressive fair I've ever been to. I had never been. And I've been to fairs. I had never been to the one down in Miami. To Dade County Youth Fair? Dude, it is the largest. Any fair, people in their minds right now, they've been to fairs. It's like four times the size of your fair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
I don't know. I'm a Broward guy. I've done Broward fairs. I was just at the Renaissance Festival. I'm pretty sure it's like three times the size of the Renaissance Festival. That is a big fair in Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
No, I was actually way out of character. I wore like a white button down like I was on a cruise. Everyone there is like in full medieval times. I felt I was like I stuck out like a sore thumb there. No, you're thinking of a chili cook-off. That's where I peak, right there. We know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
I think you're misinterpreting. I don't dress up in that garb. Everyone at those things is way in character.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Chilli cook-off. See, you always do this. You turn everything into Key West. Like, a renaissance festival is not Key West people. It's particularly white, though. It's like younger... Yeah, it's white, but it's like... Dominicans love a Ren Faire. But it's also really dressed... It's like super into, like, whatever the theme of the weekend was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Like, I think this one was... Was it steampunk or something? What? Is that a thing? Steam goth? Steampunk is a thing. Steampunk. I didn't know what it was. Everyone in my group was like, how do you not know what steampunk is? I was like, I don't know. But it's apparently like top hat and the old-fashioned glasses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
You've never been then, because everyone does costumes. Why isn't a Ren Faire's theme just Ren Faire? Why do you need a sub-theme to a theme? One weekend is Harry Potter, then it's Pirates, and then the next one is Steampunk. I'm telling you. It's every weekend, because it's like eight weekends, and every weekend has a specific theme.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
And I happen to go on Steampunk, where everyone's got the monocles and the top hat. Why weren't you dressed like that? Because I'm just there for the deep fried peanut butter and jelly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
No. So you're doing Key West again.

Thank you, Mike. You're messing with me with how far you have that mic down, right? That's just to troll me?

Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Just some notes. When you're not talking, lean back slightly so your breathing doesn't get caught. And when you're going to talk, sit up normal so you're into the mic. It's kind of not that difficult.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
For five minutes, I was watching everyone just like, nope, not letting you in, not letting you in. So when I got up there, I had to say something, and I said it. Cheaters never prosper. My buddy was saying, not today, not today. I think that was what he was adding. I'm telling you, the response I got from this guy, what I said was amazing. Cheaters never prosper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I see a guy that's enjoying his offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
What a bad take. What are you doing? More upside. We know what Russell Wilson is. Zach Wilson is just like a guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Like, that's crazy. I mean, Zach Wilson is getting six times what Russell Wilson got last year. So you guys can laugh at me all you want.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
That's true. But, dude, what is Russell Wilson doing this offseason? Where's he ending up? I just think there's unknown with Zach Wilson. We kind of know what Russell Wilson is at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Dude, I love that you just act like you know that he couldn't be good in another system.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
I think there's more upside with Zach. Look, I want Tua to stay healthy. I don't want Zach Wilson to play. I'm just looking at the landscape of all these backup quarterbacks, and, like, it's better than Skylar Thompson. He's got the top five talent. I think, like, you can say all you want about it. You know he can't be anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I guarantee you Mike McDaniel sees Zach Wilson as, like, in my system. This guy, I can work with him.

Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
I've seen him cry funny. Yeah, but Mike, that guy's a loser. Mike, that clip right there where I was rubbing my nipples is him just for two minutes being like, I have looked at this team in awe.

When you call 305-486-GOTS, give us the good stuff. And so this one we have here, the winner for this weekend, it's not sports related. It's a random life take, and it's about processed meat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Is there a creepier, weirder meat than processed deli meat? It sweats if you leave it out. It's a weird meat. I love it. I love a ham and turkey. I love the buffalo chicken. But it's weird. I agree with this caller. It's creepy. We gotta do better with these takes.

I have a non-sports take. Because to your point, they were too sportsy. We got a lot of submissions about the Super Bowl. A lot of row spins great. A lot of offensive, like my dad, the defensive line, offensive line is very important. Not bold enough. And with Boost Mobile, the boldest take from the weekend, it's presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country.

Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
It is not. It looks like Tony, though. Yeah, it does. It's a good call by you. Yeah, thank you. So after the fans outside chanting, he's not fat, he's fat, bring him back, whatever that thing they were chanting. Not that. That's not what they would. So now we are in the arena, and this fan gets kicked out. First, what he has is a sign. It's harmless. Fire Nico.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
I mean, are you not allowed to do that? And then they're having a dance cam later in the game. And the same fan, this is a rookie move by whoever's producing this, because the guy with the sign, they show him later on the dance cam, and he mouths, fire Nico. And that was the last straw. And then you cut to, moments later, him getting walked out while getting booed by the crowd.

Now, what I think of when I think of my dad making the sound you just described, he says a sentence that can come off as sexual, so I'm a little uncomfortable delivering it, but this is how I picture my dad getting up from the couch.

We were discussing how we thought the last segment ended very, very well, and Greg prefers you to end a segment with a great point as opposed to trying to get him on some sort of hard network out, you know? Because you're really good at this.

The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Like, you make great points, and it's been a while since you took us and carried us to a break, and it felt good, and you and I were talking right afterwards, and I said, Dan, Don't worry about anything else. Baby steps. You took it to the break. You made a great point. We finished right then and there. And Greg was saying, you should be Dan's producer. You should produce South Beach Sessions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Well, to answer your question about Howie Mandel, yeah, that's a great bit. That's a great bit. And it reminded me of the late, great Andy Kaufman, whose whole career was, is he serious? Is this real? Is he acting or is this is he crazy? Is this really him? And he walked that line, which is you're just not sure if it's real or not. And I think that's brilliant comedy. I love the idea of how sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
And I said, if I did, I would tell him, hey, enough with putting people on the couch. I'm like, let's move on to something fun and funny. You're a fun and funny guy, Dan. And all you do is serious. Get away from the serious. That's all we were saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I mean, in fairness, Dan has always been like that. Like before you were on. Legend. Before you were on the air, I used to call you Leviteers, Dan Leviteers, because your interviewing style was you wanted, if you got a tear out of somebody you were interviewing, you'd won the gold medal. I mean, that's the gold medal of interviewing to you is drawing emotion out of somebody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
It was a totally failed experiment, especially based on all the hoopla when they signed him, right? I mean, the Jets' Super Bowl odds went through the roof when they signed Aaron Rodgers as if he was still in his prime. Then he misses his whole first season injured except for four plays. And then the last season, here's the weird thing. He didn't play that terribly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
His second half of his season was not bad, but he was surrounded by a bad team that he could not lift up. A failed experiment, and it's just, to me, it's like, oh, they want to move on from him? My reaction was, no, duh, of course they do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Dan, it's a tricky one because I don't know what the Jets are going to do with quarterback next year. And to Greg's point, since October 27th, I think, Aaron Rodgers had 18 touchdowns and four interceptions. Like he was really, really good. Good second half. And so I understand why the Jets kind of want to walk away from all the stuff that goes on off the field with Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
But what are they going to do? And how are they going to find someone who over a 10-game span throws for 18 touchdowns and four interceptions? They're not going to find that guy. And so I would kind of leave the door open if I'm the Jets to Aaron Rodgers coming back. Because I don't think Aaron has a ton of options. And I think the Jets are his best option. And I think the Jets kind of need him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I know, but Mike, what I'm falling in love with is the idea of who's going to be our quarterback. Who is going to be the quarterback if it's not Aaron Rodgers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Jameis Winston is not good enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Mike, I'm fooling myself into the fact that we don't have a quarterback. We never have a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I don't even have to look at it. I'm guessing over an 11-game span, that was the best 11-game span by a Jets quarterback in probably two decades.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Yes, it is true. It is. It's your gold medal. What medal is it? It's your gold medal. You don't care if you break news. You just want tears. Leviteers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I think one of the things at play here is that we have to realize LeBron James and Tom Brady are aliens. They were aliens. You can't replicate that. And now, because of Tom Brady, you just assume that somebody like Aaron Rodgers is going to be great at 37 and great at 39 and maybe play into his 40s. It doesn't happen. Tom Brady was an alien.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
The norm is Aaron Rodgers falling off the cliff and failing at his age. Late 30s. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Someone might take Daniel Jones. Someone might take Kirk Cousins. There are some guys out there, but those aren't solutions. And I don't know if those guys are better than Aaron Rodgers. In fact, they're not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
My biggest fear two years removed from the Achilles is that Aaron Rodgers will go somewhere else and have the season I wanted him to have here. With the New York Jets. I would rather him be bad with the New York Jets than be good elsewhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I'll take it. There's no way he's good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
There was a point, I think I said earlier this year, that Justin Fields should be the Jets' next starting cornerback. But that was then. That was before 18-4. Sam Darnold reunion? No, no. Oh, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I don't want him. We don't have that guy. All the best things that have happened during Sam Darnold's professional career happened away from the New York Jets. He is not going back to that dumpster fire, I promise you. And the Jets don't want him, so it doesn't matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Don't you think Sam Darnold would take less money to go elsewhere? Do you agree? Let's say the Jets made the biggest offer to Sam Darnold. You think he's taking it? Because I don't.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It is opposite today. I don't want to see what his feet look like right now, 20 years later.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
We've alluded to it earlier. The lesson is offensive line and defensive line are fundamentally the most
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
So that's the lesson, the most obvious thing. Hold on, let's hear him out. Come on, Freddie, go. I think it's quite the opposite of the most obvious thing. In the age when the Dolphins think it's all about getting Tyreek Hill and a quarterback. Teams are so quarterback-obsessed, particularly in the age when all quarterbacks except Tua run the ball, you downplay the value of an offensive line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
I think the Eagles have gone the opposite direction on both lines, which is not obvious because most NFL teams haven't done it, and that's why everybody's looking up at football. I love when we strike a nerve. He's spicy. No, it's ridiculous to say that's obvious when throughout the league it's not obvious. Yep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Then why don't they act like it? Because there's not that many great players. Name another team whose three of five top salaries go to offensive line. Name one. I would think the Lions maybe with Sewell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
The point is it's not obvious because most teams aren't doing it. Most teams are not committing. You don't see offensive linemen being – you see a couple of offensive linemen a year go in the first round. People aren't committed to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Are they in the bottom nine? Well, Shula would be spinning in his grave. Spinning?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Whatever. To his dying day, the one thing that really rankled Don Shula was the underappreciation of the only undefeated team in history. And that underappreciation continues. The 72 Dolphins among 59 Super Bowl winners are ranked right in the middle 24th. Ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely absurd. And I'm not even being a homer here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
There's one team in history that won all of their games, and that's the 24th best league champion in the Super Bowl era? No. It doesn't make any sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Okay. But there are many, many, many, many teams, I would dare say perhaps the other 30 or at least 25 of the other 30, don't have any high-paid offensive linemen in terms of top five salaries.

The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
Yeah, who needs it? Who needs me? Who needs it? By the way, when you reached Shula, did you find him in a good mood? Because he could be very cantankerous. He was cranky. Yeah, I thought so.

him it's awfully convenient they got they got to see their own missteps here uh he blames them that's where we are that's how it gets there well let me ask you this when it came time that jimmy knew that they were not going to give him the the max extension he wanted isn't that where it all began to go sour he realized that his future was not with this franchise just as the franchise realized we're not going to win with jimmy yes our best yes we've taken jimmy as far as we could take jimmy

Wait, just so we're clear, Goldblum said Jimmy Butler?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
But, Dan, if I told Heat fans six years ago, next year, you're going to get Jimmy Butler. You're going to make it to the NBA Finals with him as your best player twice. Heat fans would take that. That would exceed every expectation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
It was a miscalculation to think Jimmy Butler, as your best player, is going to be good enough to win championships. I don't want to say his five-plus years were a failure by any means. They were not. But let's not retrofit it. He did not win a championship. That was why they signed him. The standard here is championships. He's not Dwayne Wade. He never will be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Gold Medal of Dan Le Batears Interviews
And he's an alpha dog, though, who wanted to be treated like he's Dwayne Wade. And that's why he's gone. I don't think anyone's saying he's Dwayne Wade.

He drafts the two best cornerbacks they've ever had. He leaves Dave Wonstadt with a roster that finally won a playoff game just after he left. I think Jimmy Johnson's been great. And his broadcasting career may be even better. And I can't say that about any of the other coaches.

I'm Bond. James Bond. I'll have a martini. Shaken, not stirred.

I agree with my dad. Of all the players they have under contract, he's their best player that's coming up for a new deal semi-soon in like a year or two.

Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
And it's closer than Stu Gatz's house. Everyone always is like, oh, I can't do that. It's like Stugatz does it a lot. Very convenient to my eyes. Not that often.

I was going to say, I've never been in the speakeasy.

But we do have the JMO bar. Oh, I love the JMO.

I imagine those ice cubes at the speakeasy are like the Panthers logo.

Don Levitard. Our Panther group chat, we're confident against the Lightning. This is a different team. You're a Panther group chat, though. No, but dude, you're so wrong on that. We've been terrified of this team forever, and I think there's a different energy where the Panthers, they want the Lightning.

No, what'd you call him?

I was traveling back from vacation, so I gave my tickets away before I knew about the dance stuff. Like last week, I was like, I don't want to go to the game. So I didn't have tickets. And then I heard, oh, there's two tickets. Who's going? And then all of a sudden, my dad and my mom were going, and then they weren't. And I got back from vacation.

Oh, he almost broke the drum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And Sean Thornton. Billy's right, though. Everyone does seem to be jacked up for this. Let's play Jack Nicklaus doing it.

Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
He's moving only his wrist. Tapping it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I thought that was more likely than what actually happened. Maybe you start interviewing the drum. What was your status?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I was picturing the other guy that's known. He wears more of the full uniform, the shoulder pads. That's what I was imagining.

When Dan said Dolphin Denny, I was like, oh, that's the guy they're going to put up. That's for sure. I had never seen that guy in the orange before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He was a legend. I feel like everyone looked like Mike Ditka in the 90s. God rest his soul.

He passed away years ago.

I do have some notes as a season ticket holder. That's right. Look at me, Louie. I see a lot of these drummers. I feel like I can critique this better than most. And you were awkward before and after, but your drumming was great. I really got to say the drumming itself, the rhythm, the pace was fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I mean, you know, your smile beforehand, the wave to the crowd, the thrusting of the arms afterwards, awkward. But that's you, man. You're awkward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Let it breathe. Also, you should try breathing during the drumming. My dad's right. Your face was super red. Yeah, what happened? And a little fast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
You want to be a little ahead of the crowd, and that part he nailed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Yeah. Did he make it to the second period?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
So he made it to the second period. So the over hit. The over hit. Why did you? Why?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I thought the most awkward part for you was the wave to the crowd beforehand. You had these eyes on you, like you were looking at like a sandwich or something.

If it was Rhonda, that would be why.

Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
He called me on my own podcast. He called me full of shit, claiming that I'm faking interest in the solar eclipse. Well, you do do this. You love to just get excited about everything. Okay, Junior. Stugatz. I had to school you and explain to you. He was going to take you to Augusta. When I was 17 years old, Alan Cherry and I used to haunt the Bueller Planetarium.

Ricky Williams is exceedingly human and demands that his human interactions be meaningful and not just be, let's get right to work. So everyone say hello to Ricky here before we get started so he can have maximum chemistry with our room here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Hello, Ricky. All right, so you've got Jessica, you've got Chris, you've got Roy, and you've got the historic situation where Ricky has requested to come on today. Never in my history with Ricky has he ever desired to be on any of the shows that I'm on, and he certainly hasn't asked. It's always me asking him to come on, but this time he's asked to come on with us. Why is this, Ricky?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Why are you desiring to do this? This is something in our career, in my lifetime with you, you have never done before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Excellent. Excellent. Ricky's Pickies is what we're doing here. Yes, he wants to pick the Super Bowl through astrological signs. Before we do that, though, I have some football questions to ask you. Is that okay? I need to... Please. No, please. Well, Miles Garrett just recently here yesterday requested a trade from the Browns. Have you, in your experience, ever requested a trade?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Well, no, actually. There's two things here. I played a prank on my dad that we can get to. I actually, and my dad is part of this, I technically almost got into a fight. Let me tell the story here. So in golf, one of the worst things you can do is hit the ball up onto the group that's in front of you. So we were on a par five. I'm 250 yards away. That's a long way to hit the ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Have you known a teammate who has requested a trade? In your time in football, was it even allowed to request a trade?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
When did you want most to ask for a trade? It had to be during one of those 400 carry seasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
At that press conference to get up there and be like, you know what? I see these dreadlocks on Coach Ditka. I'm requesting a trade. Why didn't you do that? It would have been so honest and...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
what a great beginning press conference that would have been you know what you're the dreadlocks offend me coach i'm out of here i mean but the reality was you know the way this the way i felt is they own me now they own me it's a little a little extreme day one that is not exactly a dream scenario uh i've talked to you a lot over the years about pressure and um
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I was curious in this Super Bowl, when you go through the astrological charts, is there a sign more equipped, better equipped for pressure than other signs?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Can you walk me through, because we were just talking about Miles Garrett here, when you thought of physical specimen either inside of your locker room or on the other side of the ball where you're like, holy shit, that guy is unbelievable as an athlete.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I mean, you were that to a lot of people because of your speed and lower body, but were there many you were running into where you were like, that Miles Garrett, that's crazy what's happening over there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
That hadn't happened to you? When was the last time that on any level had happened to you where you're running out on the field and that's what it feels like? Because Myles Garrett is a good deal better than Julius Peppers, and I'd say that as no insult to Julius Peppers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Ricky, you mentioned Jake Long. One time I was at a club in Fort Lauderdale. This was at the peak of Jake Long with the Dolphins, and him and his friends were walking out of the club as me and my friends were approaching. My friends and me, a lot smaller than Jake Long and his friends, and he did the thing of, like, we were walking by him, and he's like, whoa, big fellas coming through. Watch out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
There's a group on the green. I mean, hold on a second. Hold on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
And he, like, mocked me and my friends just for how we just looked walking past his group of friends.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Just smaller than them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Like, whoa, big guys coming in the club. And I was just like, hello, Jake Long. Big fan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yeah. That is a sad phrase.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
No question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Just wanted to share a little story. At the peak of Jake Long was just a sad time in life, walking into the club at the peak of Jake Long. Chris, are you aware that Ricky is my wife's astrologer? He's an instructor. You'd be surprised at how many of our listeners have come out and visited Ricky in Grass Valley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
He's got an unusual relationship with an assortment of our listeners because they come out and spend a weekend with you sometimes, right, Ricky?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Ricky, how odd is Dan with it? Does he sit in the corner and watch you and Valerie?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Was it necessary? No, no, no. I'm saying I was 250. I didn't say the ball I hit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Fake laugh. We were all picturing. Yeah. Well, you got me standing in a corner like you guys. You guys have me standing in a corner and you got you're creeping me out with the visual image of me standing in a corner. You know how hard that is to do? Sitting in a corner. Whatever. Whatever. Not better. Just nearby, but not involved. Just sort of watching voyeuristically.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Like, the thing that you guys are describing is a bit insulting to me. It's like Jerry Falwell Jr.-esque. Yes. Well, you cucked me. Let's just say it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
No, no. I'm in the fairway on a par 5, and there's 250 to get to the green.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I saw it on your face. I saw it on all your faces. All of you were laughing. Cuck. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You were all laughing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Why can't you read your own wife's astrology sign? All laughing. Yes. Oh, we got a master teacher here. You got a guy. Look, your curiosity is endless on this stuff because what he's doing is trying to figure out the secrets of the universe. But how often, Ricky, when you're here trying to pick games, you've said before that this is not that. This isn't the science of predictive behavior.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
So what part of the game is interesting to you or what part of the astrological impact on the game is interesting to you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
It was like a 400. Probably like 280. 280 drive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
There's the look at me, Louie. Is that the longest hole on the course?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
It was a very long hole on the course. This is a par five. I'm trying to reach in two. I'm hitting the three wood off the deck. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
And you feel like you have the science of this. You feel like you don't even have to watch the game, that you can have a general outline from the universe through the charts that feels predictive to you. By the way, the group laughed, not surprisingly, at the learning that your son's name is Blaze.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
It is a cool name. How many of those do you want to do? Because I thought it would be funny to limp in with Doobie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
His favorite basketball player's name is Bull Bull.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yeah. This is stupid. Yes, way to go. Congratulations. Thank you. You're going to applaud and leave the room. No! No, you don't deserve to give yourself that sound. Get out of here. All right, so what does the chart say, Ricky? What is interesting about, and take us through, take us through the details that you're using.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
No dog leg here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
So I need to hit the shot of my life to reach the green. Most of the time, I'm going to come up 20, 30 yards short here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I'm hitting a three-wood. Oh, okay. So it's basically, I can wait. This has been a slow round. A lot of waiting. I can wait to let those guys move. Chances are, I'm not going to hit them. So you know what? I'm going to speed this up. I'm going to hit. What do I do? I hit the shot of my life. I'm going to say it. I nut it. I nutted this golf ball. As soon as I hit it, you can ask Taylor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Do you realize that if this is correct, this will be the single strangest gambling segment ever produced by anybody in the history of gambling? And I really badly want this to be something that we do regularly because you knock it out of the park with some sort of refereeing decision at the end of the game costs the Chiefs a dynasty. You feel like you have confidence in what you're saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
You believe that this is already kind of ordained from what you're reading. It's what the chart says.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Jessica, are you assuming that most of the audience is listening to this and saying, is the Dan Levitard Show with Stu Gatz through DraftKings trying to go through the stars and Ricky Williams to tempt me to make a bet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
That that feels like a bit of a of a cheapening of what it is that Ricky is doing through the science and the stars to have him close to whether or not the Eagles are going to win or not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yeah, they probably are. What is the room that you're in right now, Ricky? Because I want to take a guess. I'm going to say a business center at a Hilton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
That looks way more antiseptic than I would have thought that your office would have looked in your house. I would have thought that it would have had more Ricky flair. It looks like something that doesn't have a lot of personality. It's just an office.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I said, oh, shit. Because I was just like, I got it. And, you know. There are two ways to run it up on people. You can land it 20 yards and it rolls into there. That's not as, you know, no one's really going to get hurt there. Or there's... And the ball like lands and you're like, holy shit, I almost just died. That's what happened. It landed on the green.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
well chris cody just said wow you really insulted ricky i'm like well no i kind of know that usually if he's in his office it's probably got a little bit of personality like i i wouldn't think that he would go antiseptic and be wanting to spend a lot of time in a place that doesn't have at least something i imagine that his setup is he can spin it around if he's like i'm joining a fun podcast i got this background can you do it can you can you take us can this camera angle be moved in any way no you just go uh you go most traditional this is yeah this is it this is
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
So I am like, I'm throwing up the international sign for holy shit, I'm so sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I don't believe that's the international sign for that. I think that's just a guy being held up at gunpoint. You've got your arms over your head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
It was like I was doing the thing where I grabbed my chest, arms up, chest, arms up from 250 yards away. That's the sign for both my arms, both my arms, not just one. So the guy, this is where the aggression comes in. The guy's reaction on the green, he's like a young guy my age, you know, looks like a tough guy. He grabs the ball, just chucks it into the water. Oh no. What? He takes the ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Thank you. I'm going to start off by saying hi to the viewers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Thank you. I'll see you next time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
That's what I would do. And I just see the motion, just chucking it into the water. Oh no. I'm sitting here saying, look, what I just did was extremely rude. Yeah. So I kind of get it. And then this is where my dad comes into the equation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I thought he had your back and came rushing into the scenario. Now I'm afraid of a Don Zimmer, Pedro Martinez.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Exactly. I am sitting there being like, I understand it. I was just like, I'm an asshole. It was a mistake by me. I shouldn't have done it. Greg Cody over here, 70 year old Greg Cody. Once he finds out the guy threw my golf ball, puffs his chest out. And it's just like, I'm going to like, I had to essentially hold my dad back. It's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
From going to yell at this guy on my behalf where then I would have had to be like defending my dad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yes, that's how rage and family bonds work so that someone gets killed and killed by a golf club on a golf course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I mean, granted, should the guy have thrown my ball in the water? Probably not.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
But I understood it. I got it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Now, that is just the reaction of fear. If something whizzes past your ear that is dangerous, you want instant revenge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
But it didn't. On the international scale of asshole-ism, okay, throwing someone else's ball into the water outranks hitting somebody else. That's crazy. Like hitting into somebody else. I think they're pretty similar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I'm not saying what he did was great. It just wasn't. I did enough to him that I wasn't going to get angry at him. I was just like, you know what? We're even. I'll drop another golf ball on the green. Like, I don't give a shit. And dad, of course, steam coming out of his ears, wants to fight on my behalf.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Well, postscript, I ran over the guy with a golf cart. That's not true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I've got two questions here, because I need to hear more, first, about this international scale of asshole-ism, because we need to form whatever it is that that is, but... I also need to know your son is deeply apologetic, clearly did not intend to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
But I know that in the instances when I am most enraged and act outside of my behavior, it is at least in part usually because I've been startled by something that then scared me. For example, The number of fights that people have wanted to try to have with me because my dog is afraid of skateboarders and my dog just reacts very, very like barks, scares them. And now I'm pulling on the leash.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
There's never any actual danger. But the skateboarders are just angry. And now they're coming at me because because they're just mad. And I understand you get scared. Some people react that way. And so you're apologizing for something. You're deeply sorry. It's an international sign. But now he has, it's not the international sign. That is not the international sign for I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I don't, it's you rubbing your nipples and then throwing your hands in the air. And I don't, I don't believe it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
a long hole, long hole. I hit three wood, like 250 yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Oh, just like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Head down with a wave, head down with a wave.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Is this different by region? The pantomimed apology from a distance that might not be seen or visible for 250 yards if someone has bad eyesight and is just mad about a whizzing golf ball. Because the other question I had is, Is this the greatest of the golf etiquette fronts?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Like in terms of things that you have to apologize for, is there a greater breach than hitting a golf ball into the group of people in front of you because you haven't had the patience or the self-awareness about your game to know that that's not something we do in golf?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
The only thing worse would be looking for your golf ball in like a bush for like 15 minutes. Or really slow play because somebody's using an exploding golf ball. You get two minutes. That's another thing. You know what? We should get to that right now. Let's play this video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Oh, wow. There's an exploding golf ball situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
The audio here will set it up. My dad's about to tee off, and you can hear me set it up for the audience what's happening here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I switched my dad's golf ball with one of those exploding golf balls. This ball's about to explode.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
All explodes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
What the f*** was that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
It's a good prank. It's a good prank. You slipped one on him. When did you do that? When you were looking at the ducks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I was trying for multiple holes. Every time my dad would walk up to the tee box, I was like, I need to get him. He puts his tee down, his ball on the tee, and I got to distract him. I'm like, Dad, look at that house over there. What do you think that costs? Gregs, look at those ducks. Have you seen those ducks before? And finally, I got him on the ducks after like three tries.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I know you've been asking yourself, where has Gabe been? I am told that Gabe is making a triumphant return here in moments. We are going to do a segment with rising new media star Gabe. He will be before Ricky Williams picks the game. Ricky Williams is asked for the first time ever. I just can't believe it. He's asked to come on the show and do something. So first we will have the opener of Gabe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
So he's just like, actually, those are ugly. Those aren't ugly ducks. Those are great. And as he's like rambling about ducks, I bent over real fast, switched his ball out for an exploding one. It was epic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
We're going to do against the spread in a second, and we do have to get to Gabe. But I do want to ask you guys the hypothetical because everyone objected. Everyone said, well, the greater crime is throwing the ball into the lake. That's the greater crime. But if you'd hit someone in the head and then they threw the ball in the lake, would you then be more OK with it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
They probably would have died. That's the point of their anger. I think I was kind of joking about the looking for ball. There's nothing worse in golf that you can do is fly it into a green where someone's on. You're endangering their life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
It was not. But I can say, okay, he overreacted a little bit, but it's not to the point where I'm going to go, he threw my golf ball!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Well, that's what your dad did. That's what your dad did. That's what I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Like, I'm not going to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
How old was this guy? He was probably my age, but he was like, he looked like, he's not someone I was excited to go run up and have an altercation with. He stole your property at the very least. I endangered his life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
You know, I think that's extreme, too, though. You keep making this a death. Dad, from 250?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
You take a golf ball to the head from 250?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Okay, yes, but that's a dead-eye shot. Like, yes, but I suppose that could indeed happen, yes, from 250. I'm just saying you're not hearing about a lot of golf ball deaths.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Oh, I nutted that thing, dude.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
I just can't tell you how much I enjoy the idea of the shot of your life immediately ending in both apology and your father headed to a fight. Like, that's not the way the emotions of all of that should go. It should just be the shot of your life. Thankfully, you had your rage-filled father in tow. And I need to get to this international scale of assholery.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
And I got Uncle Dick over here just like, ah, what happened?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
What happened? You hit it up there? He didn't catch any of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Did Uncle Dick have any reaction to the exploding golf ball?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Oh, yeah. I mean, he was just like, oh, when'd you do that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yeah. Okay. He gets fooled by things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
He kind of has the same response to everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
All right. Let's do against the spread here before we get to Gabe. Let's hurry up and do this. You don't have it? You weren't ready for it? No, I hit it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Are you purposely delivering that in extra broadcastry voice? Yes, we are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
and then we will go to Ricky Williams. We have to do against the spread and we have to celebrate that God bless football is about to kick ass all over the Super Bowl. For Diana Rossini to get there and be jealous of Stugatz's setup, that's not a normal thing. I wanted to, before I go any further, though, I've been negligent in not doing this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Houston Rockets, minus nine and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You said it before Stephen Adams said he's the most athletic player he's ever played with, including Russell Westbrook?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That is crazy. Do we have anything else for this? Any other music? The music is dead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Back to you, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
All right. Thank you, Jeremy, for all of your efforts there in both song and broadcastry. Sing song. You're welcome. We are going out now to rising star Gabe. I am told that he has a top five list. I don't know. Gabe, how do you feel about your first appearance on the show a couple of hours ago where you were given a hot take? How do you feel about how you did? Do you have any regret there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Are you happy with your performance? No regrets. I think I did pretty well. All right. Okay, excellent. So now we've got a top five list. What is this top five list as Gabe tries to climb into superstardom today on a Greg Cody Tuesday? It's his day to shine. What do you have? Top five list of what? Top five Gabes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Ah, classic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
All right. Self-involved. Okay. Any OLI or just we're going straight through the five? Oh, I have O-L-I's. All right, go ahead. What is your first O-L-I? The Archangel Gabriel. Oh, wow. O-L-I for the Archangel. Okay, we're still buffering. Okay. All right, let's see if we've got... Wow. Go ahead, Gabe. What else do you have O-L-I? And last O-L-I, Gabe Kapler. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
The enthusiasm is electric.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Yeah, this is what Gabe brings to the program. The enthusiasm and energy you generally associate with a Gabe. Number five. Number five, Gabe from The Office. So you did say Gabe Kapler, not Gabe Kaplan, right? Not Welcome Back Cotter, but the Rangers manager, the guy who's incredibly buff. Correct. Number four. Number four, Gabriel Iglesias. Okay, yeah, Fluffy. He was going to deliver Fluffy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Good job, Gabe. Okay, not a lot of Gabes out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You can't include Gabriel in our best Gabe list. Yes, you must.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

What? Different names. No, they're the same name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
No, if you're doing best Thomases, you don't want to throw in a Tom or a Tommy. Gabe, what's your full name?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Gabriel. Number three. Number three, Gabe Davis. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Top 5 Gabes and Super Bowl Horoscopes (feat. Ricky Williams)
Number two. Number two, Gabe Vincent. Okay, excellent. Excellent enunciation. All right. And the final, wow, the number one, put it on the polar. We're still making games. Hold on a second. Everybody get ready. Number one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah!

The Cody's have gone with some employees here as a ritual of real bonding and trust. They've gone golfing with Taylor and others. And thank you, by the way, Izzy, for stepping in for David Sampson. David Sampson had to step out to do something with Danny Cannell. That'll be a likable conversation.

I'm not going to say Larry David patterned himself after me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I totally agree with you. I've been following this the last several days, and it's very incriminating evidence. And the benefit of doubt for me goes to the multiple... women who are accusing and the women don't know each other. There's no sign of a conspiracy here. And Justin Tucker, we're talking about one of the few place kickers who's on a Hall of Fame path.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Like this is arguably, notwithstanding the rough season he had last year, this is probably the greatest kicker active, if not ever. And it should be getting more attention. And I really wonder if his NFL career survives this. I really have doubts about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I don't know if any statute of limitations is involved in this situation because most of the allegations did occur from roughly 2012 through 2016. However, we don't know yet what the ramifications are going to be. We don't know yet about possible civil suits arising from this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
When I mention statute of limitations, I don't know about criminal charges arising, but we haven't heard the end of this story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Yeah, it's bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I think what we've mentioned is absolutely true. It's black and white. It's quarterback and place kicker. And I think a lot of people are also very wrongly downplaying Justin Tucker because it did happen eight, ten years ago. I don't think that's accurate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I'm not forgiving it. I'm trying to explain it a little bit. I think if all of these allegations were current and had happened in the past few months, there would naturally be more... I don't think that's much of a difference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
You don't agree with that?

I'm doing the Billy role today. That is something Billy would do. More Gabe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
You mentioned that someone said he had a good voice. I thought you were gonna have him sing. That would have been a better spot to put him in, because he's more comfortable there. I assume when they say he has a good voice, they mean singing voice, or do they mean just his voice talking?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
Oh, it would have been a lot funnier, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
And I also think he's more apt, if he knows how to sing, to just pull a song out of his ass than give a sports take when that's not really what he does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
Yes! Winning. Good job, Samson. One, two, three, Brett.

He knows what he's doing with the Hall of Fame and the PFPI, right? Like, he's doing it, like, I just, when he said that, the way the family laughed at him, just, it's, my brother's like, you want an award for the award show? We already have a gala.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
No, no, no. Always picking them, and my dad claims to have all the records back then, so me and my brother are skeptical of the record keeping. There's no record keeping? There's no books? There is record keeping. Where is it? It's just a list of who won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
He had to push his flight back. He had to go to the doctor. It's legit.

You're going to have to try again. I promise for the listeners out there, the house does not look as sad in person as it does in these videos. That is true, actually. I'm telling you, when you're in the house, you don't say, oh, this is a sad room. But when I see this on video, it's one of the saddest places I've ever seen.

I know he's flying out. He pushed his flight. He's supposed to fly out this morning. He's like going to the doctor this morning and is getting medicine and is hoping to be able to fly.

I'm looking forward to today's show. I don't want to do this in the shadow show, but in the regular show, I need to tell you guys about before the show when my dad asked me how to get a haircut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
Up until like two months ago, my dad would always just say, take a little off the ears. He never worked in the numbers of like, this is what I would like on the side. Right. I had to teach him that. Talking to the microphone. And now. Oh, me? Oh, that was a good joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
It's like a weird juxtaposition. The less people that know about it, the funnier it is, but the less people that get to... Partake in the funny. Thank you, David. But I'm just saying, it's just an awkward thing that Billy did because if there's cameras there and we get content from it, then it's part of the show. But Billy was just like, no, I don't want anyone there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
But luckily, we did have cameras.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

How about David talk fewer? But what I was trying to say before Billy, uh, David's got me rattled. We got, we have video Dan of Billy Gilday. He didn't want our cameras there, but I sent Yeti block from the Greg Cody show.

Nick Sirianni should start next season, if they don't ban it, the first drive of the first game while the entire country's watching. No, the first drive should just be tush-push the entire drive to see how far they can go. With just the tush-push.

I wish we had, like, an evolution of the tush push, right? Like, I'm looking at formation here, and I feel like if we had, like, a wildcat come out of the tush push, right?

Local Hour: Burn The Tape
Where, like, Jalen's down there, they hike it to Jalen, and then he just, like, passes it between his legs to someone else who just, like, pitches it out to Dallas Goddard who's, like, wide open because everyone's just expecting the tush push. The problem is it's so effective that they don't need to change the play, right?

Like, if they were blocking it, you could start experimenting with stuff like that, but... They don't even need to because they just get the first down and they get four more downs.

Because I'm trying to think what is an upright walking dinosaur that's roughly the size of a human being. Lucy, when you see that picture of an Iguanodon, would you accept that as a challenge and walk through a mall like that? It's a lesser known dinosaur.

It has to be a very popular mall in prime time, like on a weekend, like a midday Saturday. 2 p.m. In a dolphin mall or whatever they call it. And how long? I would say a minimum of one hour. Okay.

I think Jeremy made a good point in noting that he was drafted number 55. I don't know what the history of 55th draft picks is. It can't be very good. And the idea is he came in without much expectation. He came in 55th. You don't, you know, it's not like we were expecting him to be an all-star by now or to be, you know, starting for his team.

By the way, when we talked about alligators, it reminded me of something. I have a challenge suggestion for Lucy. You mentioned walking through a mall. You would do that. Everybody loves a mall. I suggest you walk through a mall dressed like an iguanodon, which is an upright walking dinosaur that's just a little bit bigger than a human being. Like eight feet, nine feet tall.

Listen, initially I was thinking of Lucy dressed as a stegosaurus, but that would require her to be on all fours and move as if she were an antelope or something. Inconvenient. Yeah, very inconvenient. An Iguanodon, you get to walk upright. You're walking proud through the mall. Good posture. Hey, look at that dinosaur.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Asterisk Man's Thoughts On The Tribute Video
And it was me, actually, I believe, who explained to us that for an entire generation that was rooting for not LeBron, for a long stretch of time, for like two and a half years, he was like the chief not LeBron guy, at least in the Eastern Conference. You had KD doing his thing in the West.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I don't disagree at all, Greg, but it's weird to understand that take, agree with it, hear the man say it himself, and reconcile that with he just had his greatest recruiting class in program history.

That is 100% accurate. I know from what Katie said, she really struggled with, you invest yourself so much in a relationship, and no matter how well it seems to be going, the college basketball players in particular are always going to test the market. It is very strange. Look, we retained a lot of talent that entered the transfer portal. We talked them away from it. We lost some.

And for them to not only do nothing with that momentum, but become one of the worst Division I P4 programs we have ever seen during a 16-game losing streak, not even being close, historically being one of the worst against the spread teams in the history of college athletics.

It's been so difficult to move this big contract in Jimmy Butler. So I was thinking about value in players and looking at the MVP race. I was wondering, in every conversation we have about basketball, we talk about the contracts and what they mean to their team as max players. So why don't we talk about their value when we're talking about the most valuable player?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
So as you look down the MVP odds, you see Shea Gildress Alexander right at the top. He's having a moment right now. He's been unbelievable. I mean, he is unbelievable. Game day and commercial. Making $35.8 million this season. Tires. Nikola Jokic. Second, making $51.4 million.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
But then you look at Victor Wembenyama, who has the fifth best odds according to DraftKings, and he's making just $12.8 million, averaging 24 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks per game. You can go down to guys that are off the list. Cade Cunningham, who's leading the Pistons to the sixth seed in the East, averaging 25 points, six and a half rebounds, almost 10 assists per game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
He's making just $14 million. Alperin Shangoon, who's led the Houston Rockets to the two seed right now in the Western Conference. He's making just $5.4 million, averaging about 20 and 11 for them. So the question is, is when we're talking about value,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
Instead of most excellent player, and we're talking about the most valuable player, why aren't we taking contracts into account and the production that they're giving you to allow a team to be built around you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
I don't know what to do with myself. What do I do with my hands? You shut up. Stop talking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
That's right. For what it's worth, they did already give him an extension. So it's not like he came here on some contract that was valuable while they had it, and then they never paid him more money. They paid him more money, and in the new version of the CBA, they're not willing to give him what is essentially the Kobe contract with the Lakers, right? That's their concern with it.

I think Jimmy's game will actually age gracefully. I think if he ends up in the right situation... He's going to be fine, but they don't want to pay him for past performance. They wanted to see this season. Can you continue to prove to us that you can be that guy that leads a team there or else we're going to use flexibility and move on?

And now it's just a really, really ugly divorce from Jimmy Butler's most productive of his four marriages.

Jordan Poole hasn't commented, and Draymond Green's just chasing him around the internet. Hey, I'm really sorry that my anger got the best of me. Like, it helped me win those championships, and I know it ran off to rant and made me punch you in the face, but we really used it for a long time for good, and I really am sorry. It's funny to see. I believe he is. Do you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Nutmobile
And I believe that Jordan Poole will never forgive it. He's in Washington.

I wouldn't expect you to apologize. You're a giant infant. You have no control over your emotions. You have no control over your emotions. When you're calling someone you know an idiot, I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. And you're a fool for saying it.

No, because Jeopardy! begs a question mark. Because oftentimes you aren't sure whether you're in Jeopardy! If I'm on a mountaintop... I think you know. If I'm standing near a cliff, am I in Jeopardy? Yes. Yes.

Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
I don't like hyphens. I don't like acronyms in a title of a show. I don't like question marks. I don't like numbers. Did you like mash? Words. Just have words. You know, Password was the first game show I ever loved. I think it was Alan Ludden, wonderful game show host. It's a word, Password. No explanation points. They didn't call it P-W as an abbreviation. You know, there wasn't a colon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Password, you know, guess the word. Just simplify. Simplify. We're getting too complicated, too formulaic. Get back to basics. Numbers and acronyms, colons. It's just stupid.

Thank you. You're welcome. It should be she wrote about murder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Yeah, I mean, sports teams could adopt that. And all of a sudden, they're no longer the New York Yankees, they're the NYY. Put an exclamation point on that. Yankees, Jeopardy, Yankees, exclamation point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Also, when my wife texts me, The exclamation points in her text are way overboard. Like there will be five exclamation points. Did you see this? And it's a question, but she'll put five exclamation points at the end of it. It's just it's an epidemic, really. It's an epidemic that we're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Yeah, and I rarely do it. So when I call him a quitter, I think I can back it up. And what Jeremy said, is it TMI? Of course it is, because it's like telling me that he's running 19.6 miles an hour instead of 21 miles an hour. You know, it's just, my head explodes. But when the too much information is backing him, what I believe in, then it's necessary. Then you like it, yes. Thank you.

Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Baby. She lived a life. Come on. Betty in it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Yeah, but she wasn't always a lovable 90 years old. You know, I mean, when I say Betty White got around, I mean, when she was a young woman, it's quantifiable. I don't say it as a pejorative, okay? I don't say it as a pejorative. I don't look down on women who choose to be married several times. You know, it's fine.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
I can't think of which one. I think it's in South America. That seems impossible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
It really would, yeah. But I'm giving you one information I know, which is a little bit enlightening. Because if you ask 100 people what country has the most pyramids, knee-jerk, everybody says Egypt, right? But I think it's like Bolivia or someplace. It's Sudan. Sudan. Sudan. There you go. Wrong continent, but that's okay. Yeah, wrong continent. Not South America at all.

Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
Yeah, good riddance. It's one of those classic phrases. It's a little bit of cliche, but not really. I think it's a classic. It stands the test of time. Good riddance. You can say it about a lot of people, about a lot of situations across the decades. And I think it fits this situation. You know, wild guess who I was talking about. I mean, Jimmy Butler. Come on. This is ridiculous, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Prolific Dick Wolf
What's going on is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know what the rule is. I don't know what the Players Association allows. But to me, they should do more than suspend them. They should fine them. You know, he's really thrown a wrench in the whole season.

I'm calling him a selfish player right now who quit on his team. I don't think there's any way to parse that. Is there?

You're getting buy-in from Chris here, but the ratings speak for themselves. When he took over, he saved that show that was in freefall, and he's built an audience. I guess in the hypothetical, I would agree with you, but I have real life examples and data that backs up that he matters.

I think you're wrong about this. And it fixed the ratings issue with that time slot at SportsCenter. I read a think piece that actually said stop thinking of him as a sports anchor.

David Sampson is here. He's the host of Nothing Personal. He has made people a little bit upset because he's brash, and he will tell you how good he is at things. So when we were talking sports business the other day, he said he was the most famous and credible of the sports business insiders, and he also said he's just more generally famous than Darren Revell, correct? Those are both claims.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Because we here at Metal Ark Media have spent a great deal of money flying Darren Revell in first class to do a business off with you, and we're going to have some sort of competition in moments as soon as it is that we get him here from the airport. But what is the nature of your disagreement? Yeah.

Look, there is our Darren Revell candle. All right. He is outside. Let him in right now. Look at him. He's enraged. Oh, my God. He is funny, sort of, says, oh, my God. He's coming in aggressive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)

A vote on who it is that's more credible, more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I should say that he's an Emmy-winning sports business analyst. He's worked for ESPN, CNBC, and the Action Network, and he's now the founder of Collect Media. Darren Revell, what are you smiling about, Stu? I'm just laughing at Darren.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Okay, well, he's funny sort of, according to David Sampson. But, Darren, how would you put your credentials up against David? And, David, why are you saying that you are more credible and more famous than Darren Revell?

Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
The basketball star, one of the Cavender sisters, they had three vehicles stolen overnight in South Florida, according to Andy Slater. And this is the sentence that really gets me. It's just a great sentence. Cavender's SUV was found, but Beck's Mercedes and Lamborghini remain missing. It used to be that you could get a quarterback with one car.

Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
David Sampson put him in a tough spot. I didn't put him in a tough spot. We flew him in. I guess I put him in a tough spot. You did, yeah. Is this a business off? Is it a respect off?

Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Does anyone side with David Sampson on this? I thought the rest of us were in agreement that Darren Revell is indeed more famous and more famous as a business-credible person in sports than David is. It doesn't mean that he's actually more credible, but he's got the reputation... that's more pervasive. I thought we all agreed on that.

Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
And it's not a respect off. It's not a memorabilia off. It's not a credibility off. It's an off. Jerk off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Lewis, get on it. That is a really dreadful idea from everybody involved. Let's do what it is that you've brought us here today. And David is a very proud collector of a number of different things. Without knowing what Ravel's collection is, David, surely you wouldn't hypothesize that your collection is better than his, would you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
All right, let's see what it is that David has there that he can show us that is a memorabilia collectible item that you're proud of.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
It's a FedEx box, David. You have to correct me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
What is it, from Castaway? Yes, yes. And David, you can't let Billy do that. Do what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
The UPS box is what he said. Yes, he's got the FedEx box from Castaway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I mean, that is a little darkness and death right at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
What do you have? Oh, is that a pill box? That is a pill box.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I'm handing it to you. Read it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
All right. Wow. It is Hugh Hefner. Take one tablet one hour prior to sex. May increase to two tablets daily maximum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Would it be worth more or less if it had an actual pill in it versus being empty?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
So how often do you choose poorly there, where instead of three times the return, you get crushed on the return? Usually never.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
He went to Clark University.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
1968.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Samson, what are you laughing about? We got to get out of here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
$75,000 on VHSes. David, punctuate the segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
He's the winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Jerk-off champion. Yes. Congrats on the jerk-off. Congratulations to Darren Rovell. Don't do that with your hands, Darren. I know. The champion of all the jerk-offs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Wow. ATM machine is redundant. I learned that a few years ago. Did you know that ATM machine was redundant? I have just paid the dollar fine. But you were a lot angrier before than you were just then. You were pissed off and you were it's I. Greg Cody did not want what he thinks of as a panhandler interrupting his show. Venmo secret space. He felt invaded. He felt violated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
The request, now he can ignore the request.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
But he felt a violation in the request even being allowed to be made.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Would it be proper to call it an AT machine? Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Chris, what are you eating now over the course? You are eating to celebrate Canada-U.S. time. This is a giant game, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Yeah, baby. It's the biggest game that I can remember in hockey outside of the final game that we had a couple months ago. But no, I'm eating poutine, Dan. What? I'm eating poutine. What do you mean? It's just good. It is. I know the first couple, I was doing a thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I realized that with this bit today, I could just order food, and I'm like, all right, so let me get some pancakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Let me get some bacon, and then I'm like, what can I do for the third thing? You know what? Just give me some poutine. Give me the real stuff. That defeats what you were trying to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Yeah, but it's good, Dan. Red, white, and blue, man. What happened? It's a heart attack on a fork.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
It's perfection. The gravy, the cheese curds, the fries. My God. My God, pal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
But you were trying to be on behalf of America. You were eating pancakes that didn't have any maple syrup on them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
This is just delicious. Yeah, so this one I don't have anything really for you. Go USA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
You just like poutine. So your allegiances to your country, to your team, to your sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
They stop here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Stop with gravy and fried cheese. You want a bite? No, I'm good, buddy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Do you love poutine? Hell yeah. Is that something that everybody loves? Is that universally? Do you make that, Greg? Is this the food that you most associate with Canada above all others?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Did you guys answer my question about whether this is the food that Canada is associated with above all other foods? I don't associate Canada with food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I don't associate Canada with good cuisine. London famously has bad food.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
But I'm with Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
And so tonight, we have a giant game that is an exhibition, and Roy and Chris Cody are going to be how patriotic about wrapping themselves in the flag and hoping the Kachuks kick the poutine out of those crybabies from Canada.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
And don't get hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Burp the shit out of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I'm going to be super patriotic from the Nikki Glaser show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
You're not even watching it? The timing of this, like, I tried to get out of it. My wife bought Nikki Glaser tickets months ago, and I'm just like, I couldn't want to go less because I want to watch this game, and I tried already. You ever do that thing where you put a little feeler out for getting out of something, and you just feel the temperature? Yes. And you're like, okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
It's usually very hot. This is not something I'm getting out of, so I'm just going to have to eat it. And this is a comedy show. If it was a concert, I could just watch it on my phone the whole time. These are comedy shows. They don't like your phones out, so now I... I'm literally shit out of luck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I mean, and I think our seats are good, so it's not like I can hide in the back. It's just I'm very disappointed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Is there anybody who has had a bigger star turn in comedy over the last year than Nikki Glaser? Because she's been grinding for a long time. So for her, and everyone respects how great she is, but what she has done on these award shows, the roast and the way she's killed it with, I'm told like 40 writers because of the size of the opportunities that she has crushed, difficult opportunities.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Has anybody in comedy had a better, Shane Gillis, I guess, has had a better year than?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Hinchcliffe, just in terms of being known, it might be for not the best reasons, but Hinchcliffe has gotten big really quick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
But didn't he come with a bit of polarization even in the world of comedy that makes it so he's less universally applauded than Nikki Glaser?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Look, they both killed the first roast, but Nikki Glaser parlayed it into an awards show, and Hinchcliffe, you know, he parlayed it into the RNC. And all of the controversy that that came with. He has done this less artfully than she has. Like graduated from the roast to whatever it is to be respected by all the other comedians because they're like, wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Universally, the two things that she's done, she's crushed by the consensus of every comedian watching.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I have a number of things that I have to get to, including Greg Cody just enraged by something that just happened on his phone. And it's not what Stugatz was saying that Greg Cody was complaining about. This part is lower on the list. Stugatz. was just saying that Greg Cody is being enraged by just his phone giving him notifications. Like he doesn't want any more notifications from his phone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I saw Nikki Glaser at the Miami Improv like eight years ago. So she has been going at this a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I wanted to ask you guys something that we didn't cover today. And I'm just curious if times have changed in a way that I'm not totally understanding. Because a moment went viral here where Malik Beasley of the Detroit Pistons was just finishing doing a streaming hit with Neon, who's got his own set of issues. And this at the end is what happened. And people are reacting to it as if it's both...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Funny, but also gotcha when I thought we were past the gotcha on marijuana and the NBA. Let's watch this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
So he just wanted to spark up and didn't know he was still on camera. And why is that? Like, I thought everyone understood that Kevin Durant is scoring 30 a game in a cloud of marijuana smoke, doing marijuana, you know, smoking marijuana during timeout huddles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Maybe I'm showing myself here, but this is just, let's go get a beer. Isn't that, this is no different than, hey, let's go get a drink after work. What are we doing here? This is a nothing story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Oh, but I think there's plenty of moralizing about, look, I don't think you, Chris, and Mike know how you sound to a certain segment of audience that hears you just
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
doing drugs all the time. And it's like, that's not right to be just doing gummies all the time. Certain segment of audience is gonna find that immoral whether it's been decriminalized or not. That you're just constantly baked. It's not legal here. Not before work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
I have no proof, no proof whatsoever that many people presently on television aren't high on gummies when Mad Dog's allowed to tell you How much gummy consumption he's doing while betting $10,000 a game and being close to 70 years old. Yeah, but he earned it, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Do you not suspect that some of the media members that you're presently watching on television and radio are presently high?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
Darren Revell and David Sampson. are going to have a business off. Nerd off! Something that can only be liked, only be likable, if you are on copious amounts of drugs. Darren Revell, David Sampson, business off, next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Jerk Off (feat. David Samson and Darren Rovell)
He wants his phone to stop notifying him. But he is mad because something happened with the Venmo fine bucket that he was not expecting. And we'll get to that in a second. Before we do that, however, and before we get to Chris Cody and find out how much juice he has squeezed, because it doesn't seem like he's made very much juice back there, I am going to read a story right now. Hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
He's good. I'm working on mine. Man, I miss this row. How are you guys doing back here? We miss this row.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
The Tonys. That would be great. I would accept that. Thank you. You have like a ceremony?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
You could probably purchase it for... millions of dollars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
This is three large oranges. I was trying to take a victory lap here, and they're like, hey, listen, you've got huge oranges there. I can't control the oranges I'm giving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
That didn't surprise me, the $5 million birthday celebration, because a couple of years ago, David Beckham's son got married, and the woman he married was also from financial means. In other words, this was a power-rich couple, and I'm told that that wedding cost about $5 million. Hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Yeah, you know what? I would do a lot of purchases related to, satisfyingly, I would buy and bring back Lawton's Hot Dogs off the Merrimack River in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I would probably own a radio station and play the kind of music I liked. Just for a goof, right, just because you can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I know you guys are not really into bowling. That's how all bowling balls come, and then you get it drilled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Right. I wish it had my podcast logo on it instead. We'll send it back. How about a thank you? It's the thought that counts, and I really, really appreciate it. I really do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
And the YouTube audience was telling me that I was doing it very inefficiently. I basically cut it in half and just squeezed. They were saying if I broke it down into quarters, I could have got way more juice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Yeah. Also, it's not my weight. It's a little heavy. I use a 15-pound ball. This is obviously a 16 by the heft of it. But again, it's a thought that counts, and I really appreciate it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I mean, heavy is my bowling ball. No, this is great. And I will have it drilled, and I will use it. So that, you know, the lady shouts, Storm NFL! The first time I'm on my backswing with this new ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I'm taking, I think, this is a large glass here, guys. Like, if you're at a restaurant, you're not getting much more orange juice than this when you order a glass of orange juice. You're getting a full glass.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Well, there was and is, because songs are eternal, a song called He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
and it was a it was from the hippie era i think like the hollies yeah and it was like a late 60s very early 70s tune if i remember correctly uh espousing uh great uh brotherhood uh feel and vibes and it was great and it still is that's crazy because to me that is just something my dad said i didn't know that was a song my whole life my dad always goes it ain't heavy it's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I do that every Christmas. At least once I'll go. I'll be holding up a package, a Christmas gift that I'm about to unwrap. And I'll go, he ain't heavy. He's my package. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Baker Mayfield tearing up Tampa Bay. 38 for 45.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Thank you, Dan, for asking. I'm continuing my American breakfast. I'm having some nice pancakes here this morning with no maple syrup. Butter only. I don't mess around with that maple syrup. You don't need it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Why don't you just get syrup from Vermont? Nope. No syrup for me. Butter. That's it. Is butter American? It should be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I'm sorry, that was another. I thought you were going to say Butterbean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
That was my son Michael's nickname when he was a kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Hey, Butterfinger. No, because they would play ping pong. They would play ping pong, and my brother would fumble the ping pongs, picking them up, and my dad would be like, hey, Butterfinger. Dan has given up. Whenever you can't pick something up, like, hey, Butterfingers. So my brother became Butterfinger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I am having an American breakfast, though. Some OJ squeezed and some bacon. Some American bacon. Hey, Canada, get out of here with your ham. Okay, that's not bacon. This is bacon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Dad, you would turn it into a song. Do the Butterfinger song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Not that I know of. I'm sure they do. You know, there was a big band, a touring big band, Glenn Miller. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
The Glenn Miller band. You're getting emotional, though, just, you know. Yeah, you know. That's the only song my dad used to sing around the house every once in a while. Oh. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I'm telling you, you don't need syrup with pancakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Good with just butter. America. No. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
We love butter. Butter and bacon. The two B's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
That's all I've got right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
This could be my gift. No, I wouldn't give it away. Are you kidding me? I'm proud to have it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Yes. Enjoy that bacon. I will. You want some, Dad? I would love some bacon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I don't think weddings need to be overpopulated. I don't think birthday parties need to be overpopulated. I'm all for winnowing and just having people there that are in your inner circle, so to speak. I think a trend in weddings that I really hate is the bridal party and the groomsmen. There's like nine people on each side of the couple. You've got to narrow it down to like three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I'm going to bring my dad some bacon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Could you? That'd be great. Yeah. Three, four slices would be great. Extra crisp. When you hold a piece of bacon at the end, it has to be straight. If it droops, it's not cooked properly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Keep it small. Keep it simple. When I got married, I had a best man and a groomsman. That's it. Paul Radke and Gary the Bag. No, neither one. But, you know, correct era.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I don't think either of them were at your wedding. Oh, those two? Gary the Bag and Ratke? No. No. The Bag, I might have invited. Had I thought of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
He really doesn't keep in contact with his friends.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
No, that's true. Until he needs them? Well, Gary the Bag and I reunited. I'm proud of that. Right. Ratke is, you know, I haven't known him for years. But my best man was Uncle Dick, and my groomsman was the late, great Alan Cherry. Huh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Yeah, I have no plans to get married again. So we'll call that a moot question and move on. That's a dangerous thing to ask a married man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Yeah, he could still do it. Am I the only one who doesn't like the whole renewal of vows thing? It's got to be a big anniversary. I'm with you. Isn't it unnecessary, though? We did it once. Yeah, we did it once. Why am I renewing? How'd you turn into Seinfeld? We did it once. I mean, the first time you say till death do us part, you know, you don't got to repeat yourself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I mean, can I renew my vows whenever I want? Like me and my wife, we just look at each other. Renewed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Because they've gotten in trouble maybe?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Who around here is most likely to do it, you think, from our crew? Dan. Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Right. And? I, uh... At the beginning of our relationship, I may have thrown around the word pookie. Oh, pookie's looking fabulous tonight. So it stopped? That's a pet nickname. I just started sweating revealing that. And I've revealed a lot of stuff. I don't know why I'm so embarrassed by that. She doesn't listen. Well, why, pookie's a cute name. Yeah, it's just... I feel like a loser.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
None that I would admit. Whoa. We're all being open. I'm not a pet nickname guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
That's true, too. I didn't even thought of that, actually.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Yeah, exactly. If I have pets, I give them names. That's a pet name. I don't bother with calling my wife anything other than her name. Quite frankly. Never honey or anything? Yeah, you know, every once in a while. Who is it? Baby, you know. What about in the throes of passion?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I like it. Jason's smirking back there when I brought up passion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
I can't remember how this came up. It came up because we were talking about you. Ah, okay. Yeah. How's the bowling ball? It's a little heavy on my leg, quite frankly. Is it really? Yeah. I don't know if I can use it. I've never used a 16-pound ball. But what's a 15? I'm used to. So, you know, what's one pound? Right. It's a nice ball, though. It is. I like the color. I like purple.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
It's a Brunswick, which is a good name in bowling balls. It's the only name in bowling balls. Oh, there's others. Now there's a million others. Hammer. AMF, I think, is still around. But you want a Brunswick. It's like having TaylorMade or Ping, right? Yeah, I mean, at least it was the Cadillac when I first started bowling, pre-kids. Is the Cadillac the Cadillac of cars anymore? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
No, but you still say the Cadillac.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
Wow. Google that. Are there Canadian cars? There have to be. Chris, you're into this game tonight?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Letting Greg Cote Cook
He can take two weeks off for an injury if they win tonight. Yeah, that's true. What if it's a season-ending injury? Yeah, then I don't want it, Stugatz. I mean, jeez. What are you jinxing it for? Why does it have to be that? Why are you saying that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

What, Joe Rose can make SMRS on the air and I can't?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We get my dad not giving a take as close to the microphone as he could possibly be. Then when he's giving a take, he's leaning back. SMRS is what he's saying.

The latest one is just, we won more stuff. It's pretty obnoxious, I think. He's just bragging, just dunking on us. Did he send that to me personally? Why is he dunking on us? Because that's how I take it. I would swat that shit. He's talking about our show. What do you mean? To me, that's him saying, I won an award and you guys didn't. I look at it all through our prism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I don't know about you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I did this move. Am I allowed to give him a pro tip? Can I give him a pro tip? Of course. Before you cut into it and start squeezing, you've got to really massage. those oranges. I've been working these days. You're going to knead them, roll them back and forth, knead them, massage them.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Nice. Thank you. McGill, by the way, called me the other day with great news. McGill has been enlisted by Books and Books and their wonderful owner, Mitch Kaplan, Mitch Kaplan bought thousands of Pride of the Lion books in order to give them away for free when Ron McGill makes tours of schools and other events, and so that's a big deal. When you mentioned garbanzo beans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
You nailed it. You read it correctly. Unabashedly. What about segues? I wasn't trying to hide it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
But him nailing this, I don't really see it. I am fascinated at the idea of Dan having a better voice. Is that what you're saying? Like Dan has a good voice? I've never heard Dan sing. Do you sing out loud?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
You brought up mangoes, not me. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I know. You used the word maddening earlier and I couldn't sneak in John Maddening. Right. It really killed me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
But you snuck in Lionel Messi. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yeah, I sure did. But I do want to mention real quickly, because this is the truth. You mentioned garbanzo beans. Ricky Williams, when he played for the Dolphins, I remember going into the locker room once after a practice, and he is an evangelist for garbanzo beans. He went through a phase where that was about all he ate. And he had like a jar of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Mine does things he can't. Yep. Like? Like what? Let's hear about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
One of the few beans I hate, by the way, garbanzo beans. They're mealy. What? Oh, I love them, Greg. I hate the texture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
No, I don't. Oh, can't stand it. I do not. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I can't, you know, I'm not going to take a quiz. I mean, I can come up with a top five list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
There is nothing like a thick... All right, that's enough. Ah, the big dog. Dan needs some more in his life. I think he needs more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I mean, sprinkle in the fact that he's getting $50 per read. I mean... That'll make anybody's mouth water. That'll get you there. I mean...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I think it's going the other way, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I mean, the standard was $25. I gave Joe Rose $50 because, you know, he had me. But that was 20 years ago. I know. So I'm thinking radio is dying a slow death and it's going the other way on Joe Rose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I think at this point the host is paying the advertiser in order to do the live radio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
So you think Lenny, Chippy, all the guys that are around the clock, they're paying him $100 per read? Is that what you're saying? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yes. I love it. Yeah. Wow. I could do a row, row, row. Do it into the mic. Why are you sitting back?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
First of all, you asked me. I wasn't bragging about it, but I cannot tell you what a rarity that is. It happened to me once when we were at the Final Four a few years ago, where when somebody comes up to me and recognizes me, and the first thing they start talking about is my columns in the Herald, it's like flabbergasting. Yes. It's like I've won the lottery. Of course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Because it does happen occasionally, but not often. They're always super old.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
No, but Greg wants to be remembered for his writing, not for what it is he does here, correct? I mean, of course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
That's natural. I want to be remembered for a combo of everything, for having had the versatility to basically segue into a whole different career in a way that not everyone has. We're talking about you again. Well, you know, what better subject?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
The Greg Cody Show has already signed a contract for that. I'm sorry. You can get the after party, but the funeral itself is going to be in my podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yeah, I'm going to send save the date notices for my funeral as soon as I decide the end game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I want somebody at my funeral, and I volunteer Michael to do this because he does a great imitation. Your youngest son. My youngest son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Well, Michael is a regular, semi-regular on the Greg Cody Show. And never been on here or mentioned either. Right. Well, I mention him whenever I can. Right. But I want Michael, apropos of nothing at my funeral, to all of a sudden say, Storm NFL. So inside, Dad. So inside. To explain that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
That's the league name. I'm in the middle of my bowling at 300 game. I'm in the middle of my backswing and I hear Storm NFL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I'll be laughing in my coffin. Right. Are you kidding me? You'll be coughing in your coffin. Exactly. After he's dead. I'll be knocking, trying to get out. Are you kidding me?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, I didn't mean to spoil the surprise.

His introductory press conference with the Jets, though, was epic. The eyes. It was. It was the worst, though. That's what made it so wonderful. It's memorable. That's going to be in his epitaph.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yeah, but no one cares. Nobody cares. You don't hear anybody chanting Brouwer. Nobody likes Brouwer, that's why. Nobody cares what county. They care what city you live in or what state. Liam Cohen cares. Let's hear from him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It was almost too clean. I mean, I prefer when he screws it up. I was shocked.

Okay, that's fine. You know, I live with that. I'm a Cody. My dad was always underestimated. But I nailed it because I had practiced. You know, I'm a performer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
You can tell he's been practicing. He's on it today. He did it twice now. Nailed it both times. My pitch was too high.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I wouldn't have gone as high coming out of, oh, can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yeah, an octave lower, exactly what I'm talking about. Take two, or what do you think? Tony should be a producer. I think that's exactly the advice I needed.

Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I mean, I will on demand, but you're good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
You're taking the credit now, huh? Practicing with me, yeah, okay. Yeah, this guy, he inspired my performance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
You're a trained singer. You've had all kinds of experience singing. So I certainly appreciate that advice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Big goal. He gutted that one out, Dan. He did it in the cold. What are we doing? He nailed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
He defeated the weather. He put a screaming snake inside that left post. What a gorgeous goal. Keeper should have stopped it. The reason he didn't is that they're so worried about him curling one into the upper corner that the goalkeepers are beaten when he swings back his leg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
You would agree that's the most impressed you've been with Messi since he's gotten here, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Just because you could see his breath? Yes. Why is that so impressive? Cold weather, on the road, big goal. You have to defend the entire net when you're playing against Messi. Greg is right. Because you have no idea where he's going to put the ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
I mean, you just don't. If you're going to take the tournament seriously, the CONCACAF Champions Cup, then you have to have Messi play in your first important game of 2025. Of course he was going to play. And he proved that he's better than the weather. Messi... Opponents are petrified of him. I have seen opponents get his autograph before the game started. That's how lord over everyone he does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Right yellow, my friend. Woo! Woo!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
For seven hours. In fairness to me, I did not take rehearsals as seriously as I should have. Miller Lite, same here. Well, no, not Miller Lite. If I remember correctly, they were like big giant boxes of donuts off to the side. Distraction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yeah, I was like sugar rushing. Right. You want me to focus on the task at hand? Don't bring donuts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Plus, there was no, what do you call the teleprompter? I don't recall there being a teleprompter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Greg Cote's Funeral
Yeah, well, I missed my cue. The audience threw me off as well. The audience distracted me by singing before I began singing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, keep those donuts away from me. Greg, I love you. They sang when they were supposed to start singing.

Mr. Barron, we have all sorts of questions for you. Two rooted in journalism, as you know that better than almost anyone. And another one, just personality, a character judgment as someone that oversaw Dan. Recently, we discovered that Dan's been a shit stirrer for the entire time of this radio show. I'm wondering, has he always been a shit stirrer?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ahoy, It's Captain Slappy! (feat. Martin Baron)
Now we have a couple of journalism questions. Do you think that it is journalistically responsible to take a story about Aaron Eckblad testing positive for PEDs Then play a several years old clip of Chael Sonnen alleging that LeBron James did PEDs to Dan making that an entire show topic. Is LeBron on PEDs? Is that journalistically responsible?

Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them. Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff.

A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ice cold. At zero degrees Fahrenheit. Roy, like Jägermeister, what else is infinitely better ice cold? The sport of hockey, Mike. It's in the name. It's ice hockey. Ice hockey. Yes, regular hockey, not as great.

Ice cold at zero degrees Fahrenheit to be exact. Ice cold shots of Jägermeister. That's it. That's all they want to tell you.

A highly paid college athlete saying that the criticism got to him because, you know, he's young. You go to college to prepare for your professional life.

Local Hour: BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (feat. Chris Wittyngham)
You did very well. It was still mad confusing because VAR over the last few years, a lot of people have claimed it's ruined the game because it's slowed it down. It's taken away the emotion of it. If there were ever an instance where you slow the game down to make sure you got the call right, it's in PKs and a knockout fixture in the Champions League. But that's not what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (feat. Chris Wittyngham)
There was zero communication. It was very odd. The only reason that I knew that this was even possible because I... When it happened live, I was just impressed that Alvarez got it in because he slipped. And this is not the spirit of the rule when it comes to the double touch. He slipped. He barely grazed it. If he did, the replays were not conclusive. You guys did so well.

We'll isolate the slurp and embarrass you. Do our best to make sure you never call a World Cup game. And ultimately, Atletico Madrid did get another opportunity to stay in that game. Real Madrid did miss a PK, so it's going to be remembered for that. But one thing that I wanted to ask you about was the PK that Vinny took after Mbappe made a move that only Mbappe could make.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (feat. Chris Wittyngham)
Just make something out of nothing. takes on two defenders that both have an angle on him, cuts it inside, forces the PK. How does Mbappe not take that? Instead, they go to Vinny Jr., who's been subjected to so much racial abuse, particularly in that stadium. The moment seems huge. The crowd is going nuts. He's getting yelled at all sorts of obscenities, I can only imagine, given the history.

Wow. How about that? Hall of Fame. The Marlins invent a Hall of Fame for themselves. How about joining a hall of spending money on players? What they need is a new owner right now. And to David Sampson's credit, at least when he and Laurie were running the franchise, they had fire sales, but they spent money. They gave...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Well, here's the thing. David Sampson's job in that stadium deal was to negotiate the best possible deal for his business, the Miami Marlins. It was the responsibility of the city of Miami and Miami-Dade County

Hour 1: Schatz Fired
to protect the taxpayers and do their job by negotiating a deal that didn't be so lopsided for the marlins david sampson did exactly what he was supposed to do as a club president it was the politicos in regards to the stadium though because he completely turned off fan base for generations as president with on the field moves so i would argue that he did not do what

First of all, I never said he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but he was largely responsible for the new stadium. Did you say that was a good thing at the time? It was a good thing for the Marlins and for baseball fans. Did you say that at the time?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Yeah, Jeffrey Loria actually got along with me because I was one of the few people in the media who supported that deal for the Marlins and for baseball fans while acknowledging it was a terrible deal for the city of Miami. But I never blamed Samson for getting the best deal that he could. That was his job. And it was the elected officials' job to protect the citizens and the taxpayers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
They didn't do their job. David Sampson did his job. And if I'm inducting a club president into the Marlins Hall of Fame, I would put Sampson in before I'd put Derek Jeter, I'll tell you that. Well, yeah. Well, that's obvious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Okay, but I think the average fan would go, oh, Derek Jeter, superstar. We hate Sampson. Sampson did a better job as club president than Jeter did. Greg, I'll just flatly say it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
No. He's a jackass. He can be. In his animus toward me and in other ways, he's got some jackass in him. And don't put words in my mouth. What I'm saying is... It's David Sampson's job to get a stadium built and to make the best financial deal he could, and he did. It's not David Sampson's responsibility to protect the taxpayers. Elected officials are supposed to do that. They didn't do their job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
I don't recall what the Herald's editorial board... It was very positive about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
As were you throughout. Yes, I was. Yeah. And I don't recoil from that. I don't recoil from that at all. The taxpayers have elected officials to represent them. Those are the ones to blame. My whole point is I don't blame the Marlins for doing the best job they could to get a financially good deal for themselves. They did a great job. David was just doing his job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
I think Billy made a good point. If all your legacy is, is that you got a stadium built and that arguably that stadium saved baseball in South Florida. That's a pretty good legacy. That's fine. And by the way... And throw in one Super Bowl... One World Series. One World Series title. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Okay. So the Billy Corbins of the world... think to themselves, you know what? David Sampson, businessman, should have been a philanthropist on the part of the people of Miami and said, hey, city commissioners, this deal's too lopsided for the Marlins. We've got to give you more money. We've got to make the deal better for you. No, that was the politician's job, and they failed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Well, I can and do. I blame the politicians in this case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
And they can, and they should, but the firewall is supposed to be the elected officials, okay? If you can blame Big Pharma because you're paying outrageous money for a medication, that doesn't start with Big Pharma. That starts with the politicians allowing it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Yeah. But OK, if you're the president of a baseball club in any era, your job is to is to get a stadium built and strike the best deal that you can. I don't understand. You don't have to be an evangelist for the people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Schatz Fired
Yeah, it sounded like he was sort of seeing both sides, seeing the value in all of it and at the same time being afraid of it. I'm totally afraid of it and don't see the value in it. I think it has ruined sports watching in a way because you get extraneous information that's too much.

I don't like dogs with giant in the name because like a standard poodle is a little tiny poodle that's like the size of a horse. My Nana and Pop Doogie had a giant poodle and it was just freaky. Every time you went over there, it's like a poodle on steroids. It's a poodle the size of a pony. But congratulations to the giant schnauzer.

Yeah, there you go, Westminster Christian. I think of Westminster Abbey.

You have to send it on Venmo. I'm about to. You need to reach into your phone. As I recall, my fine is under dispute, raised by my attorney, Stu Gatz. Thank you. Who says that because of the hurly-burly nature of my arrival. Yep.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
You don't know how to get to my phone? Yeah. Well, he's holding it right now. He grabbed it from you. You need his code. Good luck guessing my code.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
See if you're right. Is that what it is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Yeah, it is. I have to admit. I give him credit for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Stu Gatz and I are simpatico on that. Yes. First of all, everybody should be allowed to use a golf cart. It's ridiculous in 2025 that you have a bunch of golfers trailed by their manservant carrying their heavy bag, walking a 4,000-yard course, slowing the game down. It's ridiculous. Drive a cart like the rest of us. It would make pro golf more relatable to people.

But if they're not going to make it universal, you make an exception for Tiger Woods.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I'll be changing that code. Yeah. You don't know how. I can't believe what you've done to this man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
That can't be true. Why not? It's a bag. Let me see. Chris got it for you? It's a designer bag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Yeah. Look at this guy plumbing through my personal matters on the phone while the other guy's looking through my documents in my travel bag, whatever you call that. What do you call something like that, a satchel?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
By the way, those stickers are for sale in our merch store for the low, low price of a dollar each. Wow. We have Izzy on, our friend of the show, FOS Izzy Gutierrez. We talk a lot about the Super Bowl, which came out, was the day before we recorded. You know, fun stuff. I make a point that the Heat hit a home run with the whole Butler trade. I had to be negotiated down to a solo home run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
A home run? A short porch solo home run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Wiggins is an under-30 guy who's made an all-star team. Wait a minute. A better-than-average defender. Mitchell is a supreme defender, arguably one of the best in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Okay, the alternative to that trade is they don't trade Butler, he stays on the team, poisons the rest of the season, and then leaves in free agency, and they get nothing for him. Zero. What they did instead was they get rid of this toxic personality, and they get a good player, a great defender, and a first-round draft pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Can you blame Kansas City coming off back-to-back Super Bowls if they think to themselves collectively, if we play that team again next week, we're going to win. It's sports. You have aberrations in results. If the teams played again next week, it wouldn't shock me in the least if the Chiefs beat the Eagles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
It wasn't the traffic. What happened is I had to swerve off the road to avoid a hurtling meteor that was crashing to the earth. Plus, traffic was bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Wrong. This happens to be a Christmas gift. from an unmentioned son of mine who decided I needed a new one. Wow. It's a little bit small, but it's new. What Christmas? This year? Yeah. Michael? The other one. Really? Wow, Christopher. I think it was Christopher. I don't know. I mix them up all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Well, you're running a loose ship. Can I say that? Yeah. You know, on Tuesday, I walk into a room here in the studio. Somebody's getting a massage. Yep. The hell's going on? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Yeah, I'll take those odds. And the other thing is this. But the odds are climbing. Thank you. You know, 1.6 to 2.1. I like those odds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
I'm more worried about a nuclear missile from North Korea, to be honest with you. Wow. And here's why. An asteroid the size of a football field is relatively small. And the U.S. military has the wherewithal to shoot that down when it is hundreds of miles away. And what you get, instead of an asteroid hitting the Earth, you get a million different little pieces of charcoal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
And a couple of them might land in your backyard. Hopefully in the barbecue. Yeah, and it would be charcoal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
You think the military does not have the wherewithal to shoot down a small asteroid?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Point A to Point B(illy)
Yeah, but they've got a crazy man running the country.

Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Don Levitard. I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public. Stugatz. Don't do it. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Another one. I remember the game. Don't know where I was. Make up where you were. I was at home. Thank you, Greg. There you go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
See, that's believable. When you make up something like that, people will believe you because it's so specific.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Did you ever say, Dad, why'd you drop your pants?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, I was thinking of one when Tony was doing it, and I don't blame him for not putting it on the list because I'm the only one in this room who was alive at the time. But a where were you moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Jackie Robinson. Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game. I was seven years old. You don't remember that. In Hollywood, Florida at 1440, watching on a black-and-white Sylvania television set.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It's a 100-point game, and it did happen. Jack? Well, you know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, he held up a sign after the game. No, but that's not the same.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Jessica, I think that... You think that's a conspiracy theory?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I'm just telling you, I watched it on TV. I don't trust that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
You're full of it. You're just making that up. Fake memory. Maybe it's a figment of my imagination. No, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Well, it was real in my mind. It doesn't mean anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I remember the lasters. And one year after Wilt scored 100 points in a game, JFK was assassinated. Another big moment for Dallas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
And I was let home from elementary school early. I don't believe anything you're saying right now. Because of the tragedy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I wouldn't joke about an assassination.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, I wasn't. I believe that I saw that game on a Sylvania black and white set. It's a Sylvania detail that...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It was one of those big console things where the... Oh, it wasn't a flat screen?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No. Are you kidding me? I know, that's why.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
And oddly enough, my dad also dropped his pants during that game. But seriously... Wild Bill. No, I remember the JFK assassination game. I also remember the Red Sox. Game? What game? I mean, it was not a game. The first video game. I remember the Red Sox-Cardinals game in 1967 in the World Series. They also let us watch that game on TV. Is he on pills?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, I don't know what's happening right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
No, it's a memory. Greg. Might be a false memory, but it's a memory.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I think that was Will Snicket. Yeah, he's right about that. He is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, and if it wasn't, it should have been. No, I vividly remember watching that game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Oh, Dale Earnhardt. Who? I was watching the race from home, and I remember the year after that, the Herald actually sent me to Daytona to cover the race because he had died the previous year. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I do not. I remember Chapman or whatever his name is killing John Lennon outside the Dakota.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Oh, God. Who doesn't? We can't do this without Stugatz, right? What happened to Stugatz? He decided that he didn't want to play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Because it's the small pleasures in life that satisfy me the most. And cleaning a toilet, this began when my wife was critical of the state of the bowl that I would leave. Oh, God. And so I bought one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
You have people that clean your house, so you're not cleaning toilets. They're there once a week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Well, that was the old me. Now that I love cleaning a toilet, I've adopted it almost as a hobby, if we're being real. I bought one of those Libman brand... Please stop making that gesture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
That's what I call them. You're sitting next to him right now. The thing with the stiff brush.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah. I mean, it's satisfying. It really is. And then that bowl sparkles. And that's something your mother was getting on me about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I don't take shortcuts, okay? I believe in doing the wand myself, cleaning what I've left, sparkles that bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Probiotics. Whatever, amateur biotics.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I prefer cleaning my own toilet. I really do. And I'm proud of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
It's incredibly near there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
I was, because last year in this same tournament, it's a notable international tournament. I mean, it's not the World Cup. It's a regional tournament.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yes, like the Leeds Cup. It's a big tournament. Last year they lost in this round. Now they're in the semifinals. But I was leaning back, literally agreeing with and sort of nodding my head at what you were saying about Messi. It's almost unfathomable to say, because he's arguably the most famous athlete in the world, I think at this stage in his career, he's underregarded.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
He's taken for granted in a way. How American sports fans think of Tom Brady and LeBron James, the examples of the ageless wonder, that's Lionel Messi in soccer right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, when I say he's underregarded, what I mean is even when they signed him two years ago, I think it was reasonable to think, all right, he's coming here as an end-of-career vacation. You know, he's not the player he once was. We're going to see a less messy than the world has seen. It's not lessy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
But I don't think, as with LeBron right now, as with Tom Brady late in his career, I don't think that the diminishment of his game is all that palpable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Another Big Moment for Dallas
Yeah, and he played 90 minutes in the previous game, in the MLS match a few days before that, which sort of surprised me. I thought they were going to save him for the CCC match. So he wasn't rested, which is the argument against Messi is that they rest him too much. I think he missed at least a dozen games last season. Messi. But he wasn't arrested messy, but he was a brilliant messy.

The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
It's also Pat Burrell in 1996. He had more interceptions than touchdowns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Pat Burrell hit 484. In 1996. I think it's the best in NCAA history.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Milk Plum's quarterback coach was Joe Paterno.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
What's the question? You're just lamenting the quarterback evaluation?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
No, no, I'm not... Cam Ward, the guy that you're touting, was a zero star in high school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
No, but some are. Look, Josh Allen is an example, was a polarizing prospect. There are people that went to the mat saying Josh Allen's going to be good. And since they nailed that because it was a risk-reward situation, their reputation within their sport is made no matter how many times they're wrong. It'll ultimately catch up to them. It was only Tannenbaum who was doing that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
It could be. The medication is kicking in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
You rocked him. You got him like Orlowski got Shannon Sharp. Again. Again. No. Again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
And it's not often that you can identify that in college. You could with Brock Bowers. You knew like the last couple years that he was playing. This guy's ready for the NFL right now and he'd be pretty damn good. Same thing with a true freshman in Ohio, St. Jeremiah Smith. You plug that guy into the NFL right now, he's a team's number one.

slash dan hey howdy listener why don't you sit down here next to me let's have a fireside conversation in the winter this is all theater of the mind anyways weather outside is a little chilly let's warm up let's cozy up not just to each other but also to that beautiful white can of miller light that's right make these moments even better with miller light the great tasting light beer for people who love beer a new year is a perfect time for friends family and great tasting light beer
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Tastes like Miller time. You know, as the football games get bigger, everybody's talking about hosting parties. It's always difficult. Everyone's got an opinion. Why don't you just bring out a nice cooler of Miller lights and make everybody happy? You could be on opposite sides of the big game, but you still know that you are brought together. by Miller Time. Miller Lite is a great unifier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Miller Lite is brewed for taste. It hits different than other light beers. The original light beer since 1975 and still the very best one. Miller Lite. Great taste. 96 calories. Go to MillerLite.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Tastes like Miller Time. Celebrate responsibly.

Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
I really like Shador, though. Not that you come across diminishing Shador. I think you do by comparison because I would really like to see Shador behind a good offensive line. I understand he had a couple of great weapons on his offense in terms of talent. More weapons at his disposal than Cam Ward did, but he certainly did not have Cam Ward's line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
And I think through the evaluation process, too. There's plenty of things, like what you guys said, like 5% too confident. That is absolutely the case with Cam Ward. He makes some weird mistakes. Wouldn't you rather that, that 5% not confident enough? But Shador does the same thing. Shador tries to see where his limits are, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Shador makes some of the best throws that I've seen in the college game. Those two guys are really good options. I think Shador's going to end up being the No. 1 pick. Not even talking about franchises, just because through the eval process. says Cam Ward does have tiny hands.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
That was done on purpose. Like, I remember Brett Favre doing back shoulder throws. Like, sometimes we don't know where they're actually trying to put it, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
And it's really difficult, too, because I fall into the trap. The Canes have reportedly been shopping for a quarterback in the transfer portal, so I'm watching tape on all these guys, and I fall in love with every single one of them because they make insane throws. I've seen it a couple times this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Nussmeyer from LSU, you'll want to tear your hair out half the game, and you'll swear this guy's going to be an NFL bus, and then he'll pull off like three throws in a game, and you're like, where the hell did that come from? Jalen Daniels in Kansas also capable of blowing you away with certain throws. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
Not as in demand as a quarterback or a head coach, but probably more rare is the number one running back with no spell that has been doing it as long and as effective as Derrick Henry. That's even more rare than the franchise quarterback because he is such an outlier. I thought he was going to be getting old the second he entered the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Milt Plum Show
I was waiting for all those carries to catch up with him. And they still haven't. He still has blazing straight line speed.

You agree with me. I'm just saying of all, like everything I did here, it's just the inferior version, the red version. I'm just out on red foods. Was Braun lactose? Is that why they took the ice cream away?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Wow. What color are the three letters DLS behind Dan? Yeah. That first one is, I'm going to say yellow. You're going to say it. I would say blue and red. You just know that those are yellow.

I saw in a group chat pop up a link to an article that had the headline, Woody Page repeats denial that he plagiarized Dan Lebitard in the 90s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
And I had never heard of that. So I pose it to you. He plagiarized. Well, but wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
It appeared in my group chat. It's just a link to an article that I could click on that's just kind of saying that this has been a thing that he's been accused of. He's denied it, so let's be fair to him here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
But I stirred it into the show, apparently. Oh, my God!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
That was his closer. That was as close as I got the line. I got it. Here it is. Wind up in the pitch. That is bad. The day journalism dies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Dan's just like really like a footnote there there have been those allegations like that that nickname Woody Plage Dan didn't come up with it it sounds like he created it because I've heard it twice now when Dan said it and also in that email when Dan said it he said my friend called him Woody Plage I know that move his friends at the bait shop if and he gets plagiarized
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
I was genuinely curious. I had never heard the story, so I was like, oh, I'm seeing this thing about plagiarizing Woody Page.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

All right, can we take it back?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
I just think that I liked him. When he was doing his podcast, I would see the clips and I would be like, oh, he seems likable. And now he just seems like he's reverted to like Duke JJ Redick. He's so condescending now to the media. It's just every single clip now that I see, I have the opposite reaction of just like, ooh, that's unlikable. And I know he's probably trying to do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
He's trying to distance himself. I'm not a media man. I'm a coach. I'm a serious coach. But it's just... Every single clip I see is unlikable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Right? But he was likable then. I don't know. It's just maybe because that's the job. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's not him.

That's a different sold segment of you're not ready for this conversation. Sorry.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
I was going to say, it's the same thing. The other side where he's not being, I mean, I guess he's being arrogant.

Yes, we got there. I mean, we can all agree that cranberries are overrated, right? No way. All right, I'm just going to do the whole take. All right, look. Cranberries? There are so many things that I can point to where the red version of that food is the inferior version of that food. Oh, I know. Red potatoes. The worst of the potatoes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
I mean, there's the peppers. The red pepper. I prefer the yellow. I prefer the orange. The beans. Kidney beans. Get kidney beans out of here. No, kidney beans are wacky. You're right. The red apple inferior to the green apple. The worst apple. It's the worst apple. Red grapes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
The red grapes. Red onion. I could go on for days. Red onion. Oh, and a burger? You put some red onion in there? Give me that sweet onion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Fat food. Oh, look what just came up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Iffen He Gets Plagarized...
Cranberries. Gross, the radish, get that out of my salad. I'm just saying, there's one red food that I will say. What if you've ever eaten a radish? In a salad. I'm always just like, what is this?

I would say the only red food that I will say I can't say a negative thing about, watermelon is delightful. I won't say a bad word about watermelon.

Yeah, yeah, last year I think at the Super Bowl, my sister and my wife were on me like, oh, you have such beautiful hair growing out. I mean, literally to the point where I'll be on live TV and my sister will text me and be like, can't you just grow your hair out? And I'm like, I want to be like, can't you just say something nice while I'm on TV right now? Like, just get over it. Get a life.

GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Like, even today, she texts me. She's like, the shoes she saw me wearing yesterday, she's like, your feet look huge in those shoes. I'm like, thanks for the compliment all week. Thanks, thanks. Thanks for checking in. Can you say something? Do they ever notice the nice things about you, the good things about you? Sometimes. They don't, right? My mom's good. My mom's good at that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
My dad is actually good at that. But they're mom and dad, so they're supposed to be, I guess, to a degree. But, yeah, the haircut thing, like, the screw that. I'm doing what I want to do, right? And it's so much easier and better on TV. That's where, like, when you have to get up and be on a show at 7 a.m., it's easy to comb, and it's clean, and it doesn't look too crazy on the screen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I mean, everybody knows about me. And they know, though, I'm a very smart delinquent. I think I've crossed that line where you can be both. And, like, people are like, man, it's amazing. He's pulling it off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato

Well, they do know the Sims family. Right. I will say they kind of like, hmm. somewhat reached out a little bit through the grapevine. Oh, recruiting. But we'll see where it goes. This guy running for office? That was Rossini. She's Jersey. I know Rossini. I stick with Jersey always.

I know, but you guys. Super Bowl wins. Let's focus. Let's go. Let's go. I don't even know what the f*** I was going to say. I don't even know what we asked you. You were talking about your kid. How was the school? He'll figure it out. They recruited your kid. That's what we were saying. He'll figure it out. He's definitely, you know, Greenwich High School, where we are, they have a good program.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
There's a few, you know, two private schools that are involved in it, too. So we'll see where that goes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Can we have your kid? Well, a lot of them, too. It's not that great, too. Sometimes they call you and I go, well, they just want our name and more donations and everything else. That's what they want, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I feel like I was in one private school for a little while. Once they realized they weren't just going to get a free-flowing open bank account from the Sims family, they were kind of like, yeah, you guys can hang around here if you want, but we don't really care about you at the school anymore. It's Greenwich, man. They're used to just money falling out of people's pockets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Oh, they dropped a million dollars right here. We'll put that in the school fund. I think, Billy, I think it's the richest town. Is it not? In America? I think, you know, some metrics or whatever, but Greenwich is... It's up there. We've talked about the people on our street. He has a small house and he doesn't have a gate. All your big hedge funders, a lot of them were there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
And, you know, I mean, yeah, houses are sold in town for $185, $190 million. It's like Star Island in Miami. It's that kind of stuff. It's that same kind of group of people. It's the top of the top, right? And I'm the smallest fish in that pond. Those are the gated houses, right? Well, no, you find out people in that town, You're like, wow, they live there? That's an incredible house.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
They haven't been there in 14 months. They've been in their other seven houses. And you're like, what? I found out the other day, Princess Diana, she was married to Dodi Fayed, right? Going by a house close to the water, man, that's an incredible house. Oh, that's the Fayed's house. They haven't been here in two years, but it's theirs. That's what we're talking about.

GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
How embarrassing. It is in my town. It is in my town. The Sims are still here. The Sims, they never leave. I have a great feel. I actually had this conversation the other day because I'm at this point in my life where I have some friends that can't hang with me. They can't spend money or want to quite live as lavishly as me, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
But then I have another group of friends where I can't hang with them. They're always inviting me to places and, oh, come to this house. And I'm like, guys, I got to work one. I know like Wall Street, you make a call and you make a million dollars, but I got to work actually. I don't know what the hell you guys do for a living. And I can't afford for like the fifth weekend in a row.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Well, I try. Well, then also, too, like how many things can you pay for, right? I mean, it's like it comes to a point where it's like, damn, last week when we went to dinner, I had to pay for it. This week when we went to dinner, I had to pay for it. We went here to a game and stayed in a hotel. I had to pay for it. They start to expect it. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
So that's where it's like, again, you just can't drain your bank account all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I did. I felt bad for Josh Allen. When just late in the game overall, I could just see the, what do you want to say, the nervousness, the angst of like, gosh, here we are. I mean, we're down. Here he goes. He's driving down the field. Here we go. That's where I felt bad for him. Because, of course, he's such a phenomenal player. He does everything. He carries the team. He played good that day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
He probably didn't play his best. And he would say that too, I think. But, yeah, it's a tough one. Because as we've talked about so many times, like he, Lamar, Joe Burrow, they're Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. Yes. They are. They just, it's tough and we know it's hard. And, of course, they're going against a team that is as special as we've ever seen. And I really feel for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Definitely. The Eagles are better than the last Super Bowl. The Eagles are better. I think the Chiefs are slightly less. Okay. I do think that what you talked about is right. I mean, if it gets down to the very end of the game and it's a one score thing, it's like, well, I'm not betting money against my homes. I get that. But are the Eagles good enough to not let it get to that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Are the Eagles good enough to kind of bucks the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and make it to where it's more than a one score game late in the game? You can't win today. Sorry. There is definitely a part of me that sits here and thinks, can the Eagles win by ten? I wouldn't be shocked. The Eagles, as you guys have heard me say for the last 10 weeks, it's not close. They're the best team in football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
They're one of the best teams we've seen in the last 20 years of football. But it's a team that also is pretty special. They might be here. The Chiefs might be just a little bit. And that's where Andy, Mahomes, and Spags kind of iron even it out. And my theme of the game all week, Stugatz, is brains versus brawn. It's the Eagles that are just like, you, we're big. This is what we do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
You can't stop it. And the Chiefs are like, we're going to break out of the huddle and do a dance move and spin around and shift and go over here. And on defense, Spagnola's going to have all these crazy blitzes and shit. And the Eagles are just going to be like, no, we're right here, and we're ready to play. Like, what are you doing? We're just coming at you that way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
So that's where – and I'm not trying to disrespect the brawn of the Chiefs or the brains of the Eagles because it's not that far off in that department, but that is kind of how I look at the matchup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
They have the guy. Never. I've never seen – I said this last year because when they got into the playoffs, I was like, the Chiefs aren't going to the Super Bowl last year. I was like, it's not happening. I've never seen a team, and I know we talked about it last year, that played B- football and they just went, it's the playoffs. We're going to play A-plus football now and go to the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
That doesn't happen, right? And to your point here, this doesn't really happen. Like, we just keep – Finding a way. It kind of looked like the other team was better, but we won today. They kind of outplayed us, but we won the moments. And to just do that all the way to the Super Bowl, again, I call myself an historian.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I don't remember too many teams with that type of formula getting to the Super Bowl one or, of course, winning the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
It's going to get in their mind here. There's two parts of the game. It got to Josh's mind. Yes. A.J. Brown actually referenced it after the first game. He said because they had dominated, remember, the Eagles really the whole year going into the Super Bowl. Nobody really challenged them the last ten weeks of the year. Mm-hmm. And that was the first close game they were in. And I think A.J.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Brown, after the Kadarius-Tony punt return down there, about the five-yard line, right? He said, he was like, uh-oh, this game's going to be close, and they're good in close games. It is definitely going to be in their head. Can they overcome that? There's two parts of the game. The start of the game...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
is going to be big because the Eagles are going to have to worry about managing emotions a little bit. The Chiefs are going to come out. I'm going to just say this. I think they're going to come out. We've been here. We're relaxed and just doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. And I feel like they're going to try to jump on the Eagles. Just another Sunday. Just another Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
And the Eagles are going to be like, we're nervous. It's the Super Bowl. What the hell is going on? And I think that's a big moment just to not let the game get away from Philadelphia right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
And then, like you said, you just got to try to avoid that moment where Mahomes has the ball and they're down a score or the game's tied because that will get in their head and they're going to go, uh-oh, here comes the inevitable force. It's the clutchest quarterback in the history of the game. And here he comes. I can't even believe I'm saying that right. After Brady to say him is crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
It's you can control the game, but they win the moment. That is where they are incredible situational football. We had so many of those years with the Patriots, too, where we were like, kind of feels like they're getting outplayed. But in every big moment, they kind of pull through. And now they're winning by three or seven. How is that possible? Yeah, to me, it is not only a culture.

GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
It's put into you. The coach is constantly talking about it. But there is nuance. how to win these games. You start to understand whatever it is. Oh, I can't take a sack here. I've got to throw it away. The little things that we've talked about, and it is the little things. Go back to the AFC Championship game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Spaggs holds a blitz in his pocket that he hasn't done the whole game with the second-best cover corner in football. And you're a quarterback, and you're going, wait, they haven't brought a corner blitz the whole thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
game they're not going to blitz the best corner they got on a passing situation not now to bring right to bring that in that situation that's again where i get to the spags the chiefs brains and their situational awareness and they're like oh i'm gonna hold this back for a big moment late to screw them over that's where they have a special touch
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Exactly. That's why when I heard people starting to go, Josh Allen could have fixed the protection, I was like, absolutely no quarterback in the history of football would have figured out that blitz. Peyton Manning... Bart Starr. So the people that were trying to say that on TV and stuff, I was like, you're just a hater, and you can't even watch the game. Like, stop. Just don't even talk anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Like, what are you talking about? Nobody sees that blitz. That was incredible. But that's where the Spags magic is. Spags, to me, in the last Super Bowl against the Eagles, he won that Super Bowl with similar type of stuff. And I think if they want to win, because I'm just telling you, I'm leaning Eagles. I can tell. Yes. You said by 10 before. He's going to have to take those chances.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
You're wondering if they can win by 10. I'm wondering exactly right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
It's got to be like 30-28. It's got to be something like that. That's kind of how I feel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
It's up there. I mean, it's definitely up there. I mean, there's some others that I think if we sat here for a few minutes and I hummed and hawed, I could come up with, but he's on the short list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
And as far as big game D coordinators, to do things that are outside the box or that are just like things you wouldn't think of, or the guts, the absolute cojones he has to call some of these are incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
That's where I go into Mahomes is the greatest I've definitely ever seen through the first seven years. Because the whole thing started with your first year in, just carry us. Go ahead. We need 350 and three touchdowns every game. And he was like, oh, no problem. Zoom, zoom, zoom. Boom, touchdown. Boom. He was awesome, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
But then I think they looked at it like, we're not going to be able to sustain this high flying and have Tyree kill and just the best receiver in football. I also think they looked at it and went, our quarterback's pretty good. I think he can cover a few holes. and the offense is out of the ball, let's start putting some more resources on the rest of the football team so we can maintain this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
And it's not always just about we got to win a shootout with Patrick in the passing game, right? Because that's kind of what they were early on, right? That's how they lost to Brady in the AFC Championship. It was a little bit like they can't run. It's all Mahomes having to throw and make magic every play. But that's, to me, what's cool about them because it's here in the same dynasty, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
In the same six-year span, it's like the first part was the greatest show on turf, and now it's like we're going to play defense, situational football, be good on third down, not make a lot of negative plays. And that, to me, is also where Mahomes is amazing because he's become surgical that way, and that's where they're refreshing, the fact that it's a different style.

A win in Boston is always a good thing. They broke the Celtics' nine-game win streak, which was the longest in the Eastern Conference. Now the Heat have won six in a row. Coming off losing ten in a row, and they've won all of these by double digits. First team ever to be as bad as they were, lose ten in a row, and then win six straight games by double digits.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Am The Dream
But it's the way that they're playing that... is exciting if you want to believe in a team getting to the first round and having at least a competitive series with the Cavaliers or the Celtics, which is not something you would have expected.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Am The Dream
I think an overwhelming amount of the fan base is still in that space of wishing they would just lose as much as possible and get a top draft prospect because they're sick of what they've sort of conceived as running it back over and over again, even though there's only three players left on the roster that were here more than a couple of years ago. There's two rookies in the starting lineup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Am The Dream
And I think you could want to add to a young core, which is totally understandable. The Heat, you guys mentioned protections on draft picks yesterday as a problem. The Heat are actually in an interesting space where if they get their draft pick this year, their picks for next year and 2028 become unprotected. If they make the playoffs, those picks remain protected if things go poorly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Am The Dream
So you can look at that as a silver lining if you're one of the fans that wanted to tank. And now you make the postseason. But the inspiring part, if you're a Heat fan, is Bam Adebayo and Tyler Hero are both playing some of the best basketball on the offensive end of their careers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Am The Dream
And Hero finally overcame the adjustment from other teams and is playing like the all-star level of player that he was in the first half of the season. So it's good things to be able to take away whether this leads to anything or not. But am I starting to feel a little delusional? Yeah, I am. It's the spin of the washing machine.

Same with my kids. I'm the kind of guy who could climb out of quicksand. I don't know why. How would you? I would study up on it. I suspect the strategy, having not studied, the strategy has to be as little movement as possible. I don't know. I don't think you want to go like this and start thrashing. He's right. You've got to remain calm.

Game four of Panthers-Oilers in Edmonton is the day before Father's Day, and I pitched to my wife last night, that being the game that I might be able to go to, and that didn't go over well. And it's like, oh, I thought this was Father's Day. It's your day. I guess it's Mother's Day. You don't miss Father's Day to go to Edmonton. That's what my wife said. Not to Edmonton, though.

How many connecting flights is it, and where do you connect?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
He said only 100 people are going, so you could get that all. That's one flight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Would you pay half price for a flight if they're like, all right, but there's only going to be one pilot here? So, if this pilot has an issue, you just got to kind of bet that this pilot will be fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
I feel like that's like a... I feel like I would pay... I would just roll the dice that everything's going to work out. If I get a half price... Is Tony on my flight?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
For one pilot. If you told me the rest of my life, every flight you pay for will be half price, but there's only going to be one pilot. I've never had a pilot have an issue and need the backup pilot.

A flight attendant sometimes will go in. Because there has to be two people in there.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
No, you don't. Not there. No, you don't. You want lies. Exactly. You want a lot. Like just a couple of flight attendants going in that room and you're like, why are people going in there? Like you can tell something's going on, but you don't want to know. You want to know. Your dad is right. You want lies. I want a third pilot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
None of this makes sense. Half-price flights, though. That's the kicker here. Tony's with me. Half-price flights the rest of your life. I trust one pilot.

You can fly $250 for one pilot. For one pilot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
It's a bit exhausting for me. It's the second job now. You never know where he is. Here's the thing, though. To your point, Christopher, I think most flights, most full flights, there's somebody, I almost said in the audience, there's somebody on the plane who knows how to fly in an emergency. Who's done a flight simulator. Yes, I think so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Well, he cares about paying off your penalty. And I think it was supposed to be an entire show, but he'll only be here for a segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I do like the idea of after, like at the very end of the segment, just being like, okay, this doesn't count. You have to do this again for a full show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
He's not an employee of ours anymore. He literally does not have to do any of this. What are the rules, though, of this bet? Because for me, he has to be shirtless, and it would be nice if he had a prop like a shower cap or a loofah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Yes. Let's see. I've got him setting up a full desk. In the ballet. He's got like a little TV tray. He's got his lights set up. He's like no water involved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated

Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Why would I want to sit in my ass water? Was that the exact question?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
You, Dad. I have not taken a bath in I don't know when. I don't take baths. It would be weird. It would be physically weird for me to step into a bathtub. It should be one of our Olympic competitions. I'm so used to standing in a shower. It would be physically weird to sit down in a bathtub. Creepy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
The oddest like bath shower routine I ever had in, I think this was like probably freshman year of high school. I would wake up early to take a shower and I would be so tired that I would just lay down on the floor in the shower for like a good, after I was done washing, I would finish the shower off with a good five minute just lay. Wait, what is happening here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Why? It's better. Just because I was tired, didn't want to get out yet, the water was nice and hot and steamy, I would just lay down. It was weird. Face up or face down?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
I think I'm face up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
And I'm just kind of like, it's pelting all over my midsection and my stomach. Weird. What a visual.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
It's a terrible visual. Come on. Sitting is... Someone else be vulnerable with me. No, I've sat in the shower. You're too tall.

Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
You sat in the shower.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
We had like 5 a.m. wake up calls. The benches were sick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Oh, just sit there. Good water pressure. If there's a bench. Turn it on there and wake up and just be like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
I know it's easier with a bench. It was weird I'm not saying this is well if there's a bench you're supposed to sit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
baby but yeah it's weird i look back on it and i'm embarrassed i don't know why i just admitted it i would just lay in the shower in high school that is i raise you what is and it would be like mom would be like it would be you shower in the pool yeah i know i don't shower in the pool it would be a thing i bathe in the pool my mom would always cut like after like 20 minutes my mom would be like hey it's 7 15 it's like all right wait you do this in the morning
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Like you'd wake up and just lay down on the floor. This is the strangest thing. This is a weird revelation. It's because of how tired I was. Make it a nominee for a SUI award, please. I'm not proud of it, but weird. More sadness. Come on, there's somebody else here that's done embarrassing things in the shower and they're not admitting it. Hey, yo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Yeah. No, I don't do that. When we had the master bath redesigned, or whatever you call it when they redo a bathroom, the guy asked me if I wanted a bench in the shower.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
What'd you say, my man?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
No, I was offended. Offended? Because of age? Yeah, that's an ageist question. I need a bench? I'm not sitting down in the shower. That's why I take showers, so I can stand, put my head right under the thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
We had to put those in there for Nana. Those are sad. I know. They are sad. And I'm not ready for that. You know, that kind of thing. You can just call them in a couple of years. Well, it sounds like you have the square footage to put a bench in when necessary. You know, I'd put a park bench in there before I'd put a bench that's made for a shower. Ridiculous. A park bench? Yeah. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
I want a full-size park bench in my shower with a fake pigeon standing up. Oh, that'd be lovely. Give me the park ambiance when I'm taking a shower. What? Yeah.

Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Maybe a stranger's there every once in a while that you could just meet and make a new friend. That's right. I'm going to start eating sandwiches in the shower. They get soggy, but you can eat them quicker that way. It's like a hot dog eating contest. fraudulent. They soak the bun. You're not eating a hot dog if the bun is soaked and you're eating it separate from the dog itself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
The famous hot dog eater. Kobayashi. Joe Chestnut. Chestnut is the guy I'm thinking of. Joe Chestnut. He's a fraud. No one calls him Joe. He's a fraud. Unless you're eating a hot dog as it's meant to be eaten with an intact bun, a little bit of mustard, you're not eating a hot dog.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
He called Connor McDavid overrated before the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Yeah, no, Roy, let me explain it to you. You know more about hockey than I do. And this is coming from a guy that's watched Connor play six times, if that. No, look, I looked up all his stats. I know how great he is in terms of numbers. My attitude is they're hollow numbers, okay? He's been in the league a long time. Nine years. This is his ninth year. They haven't won anything with him. Okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
If he's going to be the next Wayne Gretzky, how about you should be raising a few cups. Wayne Gretzky took like five years in Edmonton to win four Stanley Cups. This guy comes in as the next Wayne Gretzky. His nicknames include the Chosen One and McJesus. Okay? He's a great player. He scores a lot of goals. He scores a ton of assists.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
But it hasn't translated to making Edmonton a powerhouse in the league. They're in the final.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
No, I didn't ask anyone. I just kind of picked some sports that I thought would be visually funny. And when I got responses, everyone was just kind of picking sports that they think they'd be good at and not really thinking about the audience. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Yeah, for the first time. He'd only made the West Finals one time previously in nine years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
And when I say Conor McDavid is overrated, the only thing I mean is this is a guy with such hype. that he needs a Stanley Cup win to catch up to that hype. Right now, he hasn't done it. I'm not saying his career has been a disappointment, but he hasn't gotten the Oilers to where they probably expected to be in their ninth year with McJesus. That's all I'm saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
For sure. What's your nickname for him? McOverrated, which is not a great nickname, I admit. It doesn't roll off the tongue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Should we put that on the poll? Joe Chestnut, isn't that his name? Who's more overrated, Joe Chestnut or Connor McOverrated? Yes, put it on the poll.

One or two. I can eat two. Two. I can eat two if they're plain. Yes. My wife puts chili and cheese and everything, onions. I don't do any of that. Right.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
I would do that. You would just try to balance yourself up there. You're not going to do anything up there that would be impressive. I'm going to walk. I'm going to prance like a horse.

Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
No, no, no, no. I can't do that. I can't do that. I can barely do balance beam. I'm thinking balance beam. You can't do balance beam. Balance beam is the easiest of the gymnastics things. What, to just stand on?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I could just walk across it, but that's not what anyone does in this competition. They're supposed to do jumps. cartwheels on it and flips.

Yeah, I would do that. You could ribbon dance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated

Like right here?

Yeah. And then that's how the greats practice. Right. I can do that, too. I can walk backward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Right. One thing I do have is good balance. Billy is so right, though. Kids love the like just getting up on like my daughter. When we go to a restaurant, we're waiting to eat outside.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
Tomato, tomato. That's no challenge. It should be like two. I'll walk a two-inch balance beam. That's bordering on tightrope. Have Meadowlark Carpentry make me a two-inch balance beam, and I'll stride it right now.

Yeah, that's strong. See, that's what I mean. See, you're going with what I said. That's why I think Dan might be strong at swimming because he's like a tall guy. Right. And that's why I think I'd give him the advantage over you. In swimming.

Local Hour: Joe Chestnut and Connor McOverrated
I just look at all the swimmers, like Phelps and stuff. They tend to be tall people. Roy looks like a swimmer. He's got a swimmer's body. Swimmer's physique. I've seen him in a Speedo, and he does.

This was the Steelers' experience. And in my head, I was like, well, as soon as Tom Brady retires, it's going to be wide open. Any team can win the AFC when that happens. When the Patriots' dynasty ends, who knows? We'll have the Texans in a Super Bowl. The Steelers will win another Super Bowl. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
But they also have beaten him in the regular season. I think that's what's so frustrating. It's not like he's 0-8 against Patrick Mahomes. It's like they've won in the regular season. In the playoffs, they can't. The playoffs! That's why they should hire Spags. Cut them off at the knees and then you have Spags. Win-win for everyone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It doesn't help that one of their corners went out with a concussion and then they were not able to play man coverage for the rest of the game.

He fixed it, I guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Do The Bills Need To Do Something Drastic?
But to Dan's point, if they did do nothing, it would be defensible because they were that fourth down call away from... being like scoring in the game and winning the game. And that was a very bad call. I thought, I thought he had the first down pretty obviously. And then you're talking about a completely different outcome in this game. And you're like, wow, what a great job they've done.

Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Okay, I'm not ripping it, and God bless Walter Payton and his memory and legacy, but I'm ripping the NFL for advertising this off-field award as the NFL's most prestigious award. No, it isn't. The NFL MVP is a bigger award, right? I mean, winning a Super Bowl is a bigger award. God bless the men who have won the NFL Man of the Year because they did great off-field work, community work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen
Just don't call it the most prestigious award. I don't think even the men who have won that award think of it as the most prestigious award. That's all I'm saying. It's like the Medal of Freedom. Well, if you say so. Okay. I mean, you know, what's his name? Lionel Messi wins the Medal of Freedom. The Medal of Freedom doesn't even show up for the award. How about that? He had too busy.

What'd you think of the mustache?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
It kind of boils down to did you like the mustache or not for a lot of folks. And most people don't like the mustache. But the mustache, look, in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dracula has a mustache. That's referenced to a couple of times. If you want to be a nobleman from the 1600s, any respectable one had a mustache. But a lot of people could not look past this. So did Roncula.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
You were a nobleman in the 1600s, and you'd been dead for a while. You don't get around to shaving. Yeah. You had a mustache. It's authentic. That's what Robert Eggers does, man. This is what he does. Although, there isn't a body of water between Germany and Transylvania. So for all the authenticity about Bobby Eggs, I mean, that's a really long, drawn-out way to get to Germany.

He's going to do it in a season where he missed extended periods of time. It's unbelievable what Ovechkin is doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
Well, to be fair, I'm not looking at all. But what I will say is over the last couple of years, as load management and the treatment of stars to avoid injury has continued to increase throughout the league, we've had pretty shocking results in the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
You've seen teams not take the regular season so seriously, and it's made the playoffs a little bit more unpredictable because you can't account for what the max effort of these teams looks like. Golden State is a prime example of that because they're playing well right now because Jimmy feels like trying. I haven't really seen Jimmy try in quite some time. Joy is back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
He grabbed the clipboard and started drawing plays in the huddle. When was the last time he did that? It's just a variable that is hard to account for. You're just essentially guessing. Now, when they enter the playoffs and free throws are harder to come by, but the clips that I'm seeing of him, he's doing the pull-up J's in transition. It looks like the way when Jimmy's game is really cooking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
It looks like that. I don't know if it can sustain that, but he's one of the great players. Playoff performance of our time. That was really well said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
Well, with Joel, that has always been part of the criticism. You have a fragile body. You entered the league as someone with an injury risk. That was how they were evaluating him as a prospect. This is a risky proposition. So the fact that he's had a fragile career, when you apply that context, is really not a surprise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Count Orlok's D*** At 7:45 In The Morning
Where people get on Joel and where I think it's fair is on top of all these things, that were worried about you, your frame, your injury history. Don't you want to put your body in the best possible position to withstand the beating of this sport? And optically and attitude-wise and by some reporting, he doesn't have that kind of commitment to his body.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
No, he's right about UD. Thank you. It's huge news mainly because it's the New York Yankees and because the rule, the no beard rule, was so archaic. It's nice to see the Yankees step gingerly into the 21st century because the old rule was straight out of 1956. It's ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
And I think what's happening here is the Yankees realize that in an age where the coveted free agent is getting a couple of $500 million offers, maybe the tiebreaker on that offer is going to be, you know what? I've had a beard my whole life. I ain't shaving a beard.

It's huge news because it's New York and because of the rule was so outdated.

You got to learn. You got to earn. You got to earn New York, New York. Mm-hmm. Spreading the news. What is that? What do you mean? Why did they change that? That's life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
Yep. Hal's got it going on. Okay. Mm-hmm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
Hal had an epiphany. He woke up one morning and said, you know what? Facial hair is a part of someone's personality. We're going to allow it. The turn of the century, baseball had a team that required full beards, flowing beards like a 19th century U.S. president, Garfield or somebody. Are you looking this up? And this rule was just as ridiculous. To not allow facial hair. It's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
But now, by saying it has to be a well-groomed beard, you're still opening a can of worms because now... Yeah, who judges that? The Yankees have a vice president in charge of judging whether your beard is well-groomed or not. It's ridiculous. You can have a beard down to your... If I'm running the club, have a beard down to your navel if you can catch a damn fly ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
Why are we judging facial hair in sports? It's crazy. What an odd rant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Don Levitard. Quiet man. Yes. You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife, despite that gratuitous line back in my day. Stugatz. I wish you were here, my wife. I really miss her. No, I don't. That's the thing about being married. You know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I'm on the phone with her for 30 seconds.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yeah, I would think, oh, we see him at opening day in the playoffs. That's the only time Greg shows up.

The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
That's by choice.

You know, nobody ever breaks news on your highlight team. Why is that? Is it a tight-lipped franchise? We do it like Billy. We do it quietly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
They were great writers. And I learned a lot from all of them, including Edwin Pope, my ultimate mentor. You're a great writer. I mean, I do respect more highly people who I think are really skilled with words. I respect that more than I respect breaking a news story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
I just do, which probably speaks ill of me and is a reason why they, you know, shunted me off to be a columnist because I wasn't that good as a beat reporter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
It's all consuming. No, you're right. You're right. And somebody's got to do it, and I admire people who do it well. It's very difficult, and I never had a knack for it. I was never somebody who was going to chum up to people I was covering and become friends with them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
Back in the day when I was covering teams as a beat, I did that a little bit, particularly with the Dolphins, more so than the Canes. I just never liked it. I never liked waiting in a half-empty locker room for a 20-year-old kid to come out hoping that he might grant an interview with me. To me, that was demeaning. That was a part of journalism I didn't like.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
Right. And I know better. But it still would hurt to hear it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
Yeah, now we all have podcasts like The Greg Cody Show. But I'm going to argue that the columnist should be more coveted than he or she ever was for the simple reason that news is breaking everywhere now. Yadonis Haslam might break news. Somebody in a tweet, some athlete in a tweet might break news. It's not just coming from mainstream media anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
And so the columnists that you enjoy reading, who can make you smile, make you laugh, make you think, I think there's a value there that is beyond breaking news, in my opinion. Then again, I have a vested interest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
I get my dad's face, like, photoed to me, like, once a week.

I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. Oh, that would be a great call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
This is home. He'd never leave. He played down here, so... It matters that you're from here, does it not? Yes. Yeah, yeah, it matters. It doesn't matter as much, though, as playing for a team down here, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Mike Lowell vs. Gary Ferman Race For Charity
I wouldn't say who cares, but to Billy's point, that's why I put a little asterisk by calling him the most influential.

You don't even know because it's quiet news breaking. Yes, we'll get to it. Tony described as dry. It was super dry. Like, ChatGPT wrote that tweet. Like, Jesus Christ. Put some salsa. Put some sasong. It was a dangerous game that I was playing because I was expecting a talking to when I got there.

This weekend, in terms of what? The FIU broadcast? Yes. Oh, I don't know. I mean, I also did some reporting. We're doing a reporting show today. Are you mumbling? Well, because I don't know what we're doing. Big rematch. FIU is going to be hosting the University of Miami at Marlins Park again, or Lone Depot Park, this time at baseball, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Yeah. Well, the last time they faced each other, FIU football defeated UM football 30 to 26.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Yeah. Yes. Panther history. Yeah. It was a great moment. Unfortunately, they went on to lose, I think, the two games that followed, and all momentum was lost. But that night, what a magical night it was. And we're going to relive that night, March 4th, 7 p.m.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
They play in baseball almost every year. Just not at Lone Depot Park. Former side of the organization. Orange Bowl. Historic land. I don't know if you know this, Dan. A lot of history happened at that site. I want to break down Billy's tweet for a second because, again, I think ChatGPT wrote it. I don't even know how to use ChatGPT. I'm authentic, bitch. That seemed unnecessary. It really was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I was going to go baby, and then there was a late pivot there at the end, and I was like, that didn't need to happen.

I meant to put a picture in it, too, of the football game. What would the picture be? The picture was going to be the football game after you're celebrating on the field. For a baseball team? Yeah, because that would be funny. Oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Well, I was broadcasting. That's my first game. I was broadcasting for the game was that night. So I was like, is this going to cause a problem for me later on today? No. May this be a situation where I arrive and they say, no, thank you, sir. You can go home now. What are you doing out there? Because they didn't tell me this information.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Once I got there, I found out, obviously, this has been in the works for quite some time. And they all knew this was happening, minus me. No one told me. I think for just this precise reason.

Okay. Can I? The elephant in the room is this, and no offense to Billy. It's great. If you're covering FIU, it's great to break that news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Put it on the poll. Can it be a big story if it involves college baseball? I mean, we just spent 20 minutes talking about college basketball. I know, but college basketball is up here and baseball is down here. FIU baseball has never been huge. UM baseball stopped being huge a few years ago and still trying to get back up. So what should we talk about? The Lobos?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Well, you know, I mean, that's an international brand. A what brand? An international brand. The Lobos. Greg's Lobos. No, it's a big story, but my ears perked because if UM and FIU are playing in football again at Marlins Park, it's like, wow.

It's like they don't want fans in Spain.

Why did you guys wake up today to fight with Gary Furman? We did not take out Gary Furman.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Greg. Greg. He was a jack of all trades on the Herald Sports staff. He covered high schools. He covered this. He covered that. He covered that. I don't think if Gary Furman's sitting right here, I'm going to insult him by saying you weren't one of the big stars on the Herald Sports staff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Sleep farting! Yeah, you sleep! Sleep farting!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Okay, first of all, I'm a very honest person. When I call Billy Corbin a jackass, what I mean is he's been a jackass to me. He doesn't like me. He criticizes me all the time, and the feeling is quite mutual. In the case of Gary Furman, he... The first thing I said was he has been a survivor in this market, and I give him credit for it. He's done a little bit of everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
He was the PR guy for the Honda Classic up in Palm Beach for years. Can I get four tickets? And so he's done a little bit of everything in this market. He's still going strong. I admire him. But I'm going to draw the line if you're trying to tell me he was one of the top star writers at the Miami Herald. He wasn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Tears of a clown. Smokey. Look, at that time, I was the guy looking up to all these stars. I was not Peter Richmond or S.L. Price, Scott Price.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
No, it was terrific. It was absolutely... Or were you Hudson? I'm blessed to have worked on one of the great writing staffs in the history of American newspapers. I wasn't the star at that time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Yeah. He's in the Furman category, though. Grant Wall? Yeah, Grant Wall was never... He's not around to defend himself. Rest in power. Rest in power.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
No, he was never a star at the Miami Herald.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Bring back... I'm trying by not talking about it. Just put the news out and moved on. Guys, guess what? Every day there's news. There's going to be more news today. Someone will break it. The story's not about them. It's about the story. Snap it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
I don't know who Gary Furman is. No, you don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
No. No, you're not right. Wow. I have known Gary Furman for decades. He's been a real survivor in this market doing a bunch of different stuff. He was never one of the top tier writers at the Miami Herald. Okay. I'm just being honest. And if Gary were right here, he would agree with me. Okay. But you were.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Still am. Still continue to be. Of course, the staff is only like seven people now, but still. I'm the king of a small kingdom.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Oh my gosh. There was about a five-year period where we had Scott Price, Peter Richmond, Christine Brennan, Larry Dorman. It was an all-star staff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
I don't know what to say. I don't mean to criticize Gary Furman. He worked at the Herald for a number of years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
No, and you're right. You have credentials. You're a true UM insider who has inside sources, and I trust what you say regarding hurricane sports. But this is standard operating procedure in journalism. If you don't break a story, if you get beat on a story, you try to impinge the quality of the story that beat you. That is true journalism? That's the way journalism operates.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
And I'll use a perfect example here. This hiring is not official yet. So that's what you say if you get beat on the story. Nobody on either side wants this story to come out right now because they don't want to interrupt Duke's March Madness run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
No, and that's 100% accurate. I was at the Inter-Miami game the other night sitting next to Michelle Kaufman, who covers about three different major beats for the Herald. She's in the middle of an Inter-Miami game texting Dan Radakovich and texting other sources about this story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
Revealing their sources. Oh, well, Radakovich is the hurricane's athletic director. If you cover the hurricane, yeah, he's going to be one of your sources. So Radakovich, I'm not saying anything out of school. Radakovich essentially texts her back and says, yeah, but it hasn't happened yet. There's no deal in place, blah, blah, blah, that kind of thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: In The Information Game
So the story is real, but there are degrees of real.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Well, I just, you know, this is bracket season, Dan. This is everybody. What's their bracket? Who do they got? Who's their final four? What's their upset pick?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Runaway Freight Train of Gibberish
All ones and two seeds in his Elite Eight, which might end up being right. It's one of those things. You think you've got to overthink it. Sometimes you don't. But it's like, Jay Will, go on a limb.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Runaway Freight Train of Gibberish
If you win with your bracket, you're going to split it with like 17 other people in your pool. Well, that's the thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Runaway Freight Train of Gibberish
This all begs the question, what is the perfect amount of brackets to fill out? Are we begging that question? Some people wonder, do you just fill out one? If I fill out multiple, am I doing the same results in every bracket? Peter Burns had a theory that you fill out three. Right when it comes out, you just poop one out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Runaway Freight Train of Gibberish
And then your second one is you think about it. You look at matchups. You dissect. You really crunch the numbers. That's number two. And number three, you go with your heart. You just what you want to happen. So you fill out three different brackets and you see what's what at the end.

I think honestly, like the casual fans need someone like a Patino because all of the other coaches that we, other than like maybe Tom Izzo, like all the other coaches that we grew up watching have now left the sports. We're like desperate for like a familiar face for the casual fans. And also the fact that he's doing it at St. John, St. John's, who has never been good in my lifetime. Like this,

i i think mathematically that's absurd all right i don't indulge in conspiracy theories but every change to a network of data affects all the members of the network if you're not talking about north carolina you're talking about teams that either played north carolina or played their opponents or are going to be affected if north carolina is in or out so that's that's kind of a shady remark i thought

I see where you're getting at, but if you really want controversy, you've got to get into the women's tournament. That's where the analytics are not fully caught up yet. That's where you have 13 and 14 seeds who are wildly different strengths. That's where you have less consolidation of the greatest teams among two conferences. That's where the Wild West is now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
That's where there's a lot more subjectivity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I think that a lot of teams have a lot of points to make, and they're all talking up because on the men's side, the metrics and the process are pretty well set. On the women's side, it's a lot more nebulous, and so everybody thinks they have a case to make. I think UConn has a case to make to be number one, and I think South Carolina, after they got smoked,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
by uconn then all they did was go out and in turn destroy like about seven of the best teams in the country i don't know why nc state is a number two seed i i i can't do like the twentieth best team in the country maybe so there's a lot of there's a lot of weird stuff because there's a lot more wiggle room but it's fun because we need more coaches hating each other and who are angry all the time especially as like the older men's coaches of bled the game because of nil and stuff so the women are picking up the slack and i like it
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
I would think yes. But the thing you have to remember is there's still like we're talking about more parity among the women's teams. It's not really there yet. I mean, there are 20 or 30 teams that are really, really good now. They kind of crush underdogs and they compete among themselves. It's not to the point where there's 40 or 50 talent isn't. as dispersed as we want to think it is yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: I Need Jetpacks and D***
The best teams are still so much better than the rest of the field that it's hard to make money betting on underdogs in the women's tournament.

That's a long time. And plus, where did he live? Like, who's keeping a headless chicken for 18 months? You had him on. No, I would certainly keep a headless chicken.

Shakespeare created that as well. A chicken named Mike. I made that up. It's verified. I mean, he lived 18 months, Mike did, because the jugular vein wasn't decapitated, so he was able to sustain air or something. I don't know the details. I didn't invent that.

Right. That was my grandmother on my mother's side, Nellie Doogie. God rest her soul. She'd been gone a long time. She died in like the late 60s, I think. I barely remember her. A big, heavy woman. And one of her sayings was, you got to eat a... You got to eat a peck of dirt before you die.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
That's a lot of dirt. Yeah, but no, she died. She went to her grave referring to it as sugar diabetes. Everybody now just calls it diabetes. But she was a woman who never went to a doctor. It was a sad story because she died fairly young. She was in her early mid-60s, like 63-ish. But peck of dirt before you die didn't serve her particularly well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But as a general life rule, I think it's something that— So hold on a second.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nobody Wants To Eat a Wet Banana
It sounds like I'm bragging when I say this, but in effect, her coining the phrase, eat a peck of dirt before you die, was the forerunner of what we all know now as the three-second rule. So in effect, just like my mother invented the handheld fan, my grandmother invented the three-second rule.

Well, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. I basically went to an unknown, an unnamed, you know, liquor store, brand name, big time national liquor store with two words in the title. And I asked them, what's your most what's your best Pinot Noir? And they gave me several choices. And I, you know, paid a little pretty penny for it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: NFL Playoff and College Football Playoff Reaction
I don't mean to make that less impressive by what I'm about to say, because it is impressive, unequivocally. But the fact that their coach goes for it on fourth and one and fourth and two almost all the time, even in his own territory, does mitigate how many times they have to punt. Well, I mean, wouldn't you with that quarterback, though? Yeah, I might. I might. And that's the trend.

Terrible. I think Justin Herbert had four interceptions all regular season. Yeah. And he had three in one game in the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: NFL Playoff and College Football Playoff Reaction
Yeah, it's a good joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: NFL Playoff and College Football Playoff Reaction
Two minutes.

Postgame Show: Jessica's Shrek Discovery (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Es ist hart. Es ist wirklich hart.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Shrek Discovery (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Like, I have my notes on it, but I overall, like, it's a great experience. I watch the whole season and you leave it and you're like, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Shrek Discovery (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Ich würde auch 1 da reinlegen, aber ja. 7 ist einfach... du stoppst nicht. Du denkst dir, holy shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Jessica's Shrek Discovery (feat. JuJu Gotti)
I know, I've been instructed. I believe I will be sitting next to him. I'm no expert Dominoes player, but I know the rules. I picked up the game. Wait, Greg knows who, or Chris knows who it is? No, we're talking about my dad's playing in it as well. And he doesn't know how to play Domino's. How is that possible?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something? Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. You just do a generic call. Oh, that would be a great call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Well, they usually tell me to put the mic closer to me. This time it was too close by a quarter of an inch. Now you're in peak comfort. Well, I'm relaxed. How fast do you think you can run 100 meters? Probably 15 seconds.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
29 seconds. Obviously, the film was sped up. It was not sped up. That wasn't real time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
He's right about that. Okay, I'm going to adjust my estimate slightly from 15 seconds to 17.5.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I would do it on a soft surface. Tell us what's coming up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
How would you run on a soft surface?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I mean, I don't want to break a hip. Yeah, like on sand or the beach. I only got two hips. I don't want to break one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
You call it bored because I'm relaxed, because I'm supine. I'm relaxed. I work better relaxed. That's the thing about beach days, you relax.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
We got a lot of good stuff on the new episode 261 that dropped today. And the headline, I guess, would be the great Tony Kornheiser reacts. to being named the number one podcast host guest in Greg Cody's show history. You're always better when you're relaxed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Yeah, because last week we did our revealing the top 100 guests, so we skipped Herb of the Week last week. Oh, no. So he does reveal in this episode the 19th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Yeah, this past week it was. This past week. And so this week we have a reaction from Tony Kornheiser.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
No, he was. We had him on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I mean, you've got to listen to what he said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
We have him on, not for a long time, but maybe a minute and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
It's a good time. It was a great time. Levitard didn't even make the top ten, so he's sore. Wow. He finished one spot behind Gary the Bag Rosenfeld.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
You forgot Uncle Dick? So we went back to the next episode and we're like, all right, we're putting him in. So disappointed. See you later, Matt Pinelli.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Good. I like that. No, we did forget Uncle Dick, which is unheard of. Unfathomable. All the other uns. It's unheard of. Unfathomable. Yeah, you mentioned that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Un-American. Un-American? Well, I don't know about un-American, but all the other uns were accurate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Well, I only know because of Olympic timing. Like the Olympic gold medal candidates run under 10, you know, like nine, what's a great world time?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Nine and a half, I'm going to say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
That could be. You could be right. People are getting faster all the time. That's true. So I'm going to double my time and up my estimate to 18.5 seconds. Okay? Because I don't pretend that at my age that I'm going to compete. When's the last time you sprinted? I run. You don't run.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
You don't even walk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I do own sneakers. We're talking to a man that when his doctor asked him about how active he is, he says, I walk around my house a lot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Well, and he tries to tell me that I no longer have that doctor. He tries to tell me that's not exercise. I'm walking a mile or two every day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
You replaced McGillicuddy? It's more than five. Well, this was a different doctor who shall remain nameless.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I apologize for not responding to that. I have never watched Severance. I wouldn't even have heard of it except my wife watches it because she watches everything. I watch very little TV, although I do love White Lotus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
guy's trying to tell me that you have to cardio and you have to sweat and you know this and breathe fast how dare he sounds like a quack to me this monster i got a big l-shaped house you know why the the amount of uh it's actually steps i take during a day is yeah Crazy big.

Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
With the game room of Kyrgios, you can do a full circle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
And there's probably steps, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
You bowl? Not intentionally. He does bowl. I do bowl. That's heavy lifting right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
It's a 15-pound ball times however many times I'm lifting it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
You have your bowling shoes in there? Up and down. My dad, the only bowler in the league that always walks out of the bowling alley in his bowling shoes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
People are putting covers on their bowling shoes because you can't go in the bathroom. You don't want anything. My dad just walks outside in the bowling.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I'm wearing my bowling shoes home. If I'm stopped and I see a bowling game break out over there, I can stop. I can go over and say, hey, let me in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
That he usually forgets and then ends up playing golf in his boat shoes. I can count a dozen times in my life. We've shown up to the golf course. I left my shoes at home. And boat shoes now on the 13th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
And with my game, it doesn't even affect it. It doesn't even hurt it. But golf shoes I have worn home because they don't clickety-clack. Nowadays, they're not like metal spikes or anything. So they're comfortable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
No, I don't tap dance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
My mother tap danced. It's in the family. I have never tried it. Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper is right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I think that we're bringing it up on a major national show. Now the onus is on her. You've got to apologize. You misspoke. You know how many people lost their homes in the Los Angeles fires?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
It was like the world's longest chant. It wasn't that long. It was longer than the chant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Or just close your eyes, take a nap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Put your legs crisscross applesauce.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I am kind of curious if in the next five minutes of this segment you could fall asleep. Why don't you take your headphones off and try earnestly to fall asleep. I'm not the least bit tired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Here, you want me to sit up? All right, let me sit up in attention.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Here, I'm sitting up at attention now. Ramrod straight. Look. What? Shoulders back. Ramming it. I've never exactly ramming it. I've never sat taller right now. Sitting regally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I'm telling you, you give me a bag of Cheetos, I'll find one just like that. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
There's one in every bag. It's a great way for you to make some money. Maybe we'll do this tomorrow. I'll pour out a bag of Cheetos and I will find something else in there. It won't be maybe Charizard in particular, but it'll be like something famous that we can then sell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
That's a fraudulent Cheeto. I'll tell you exactly what happened. Somebody welded together like five or six different Cheetos into that design. That's not what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I love the very crunchy Cheetos. I don't like the soft ones, the big puffy ones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Yeah, cheese puffs. But I like that type of Cheeto. I don't care if it costs $90,000. Put that in front of me, I'll eat it in a minute and a half.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Think about the conversation starter, like all your parties now. It's not a good conversation starter. You can be like, look, I have a Cheeto that looks like Charizard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I mean, I can't help you. Oh, we have Cheetos here now. One of the Apostles, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Yeah, this might be harder than I thought. Pass away, I believe. Anyone have any weld?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I'd like to weld these together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Put it on the poll as well. Is the Cheeto a chip? This one kind of looks like a seahorse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
I've had those. They're great. Yeah, I love Fritos because they're so salty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Well, you're talking about the crunchy Cheeto.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
Miami is introducing Laron Yeager's replacement today in Lucas from Duke. What do you think of that hire?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Ruth is a Tapper (feat. Seth Davis)
What I said – I said it as a compliment because you're such a pro that it looked like it looked like a little gas or air came up and you just you stayed with your point. It was and you just kind of stifled it.

Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Yeah, unlike Miles Garrett, I believe every word that he would say about the sport of basketball and not wanting to play it and being willing to hold out for millions and millions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Das Problem ist, wenn die Ratings runter sind und die Casual-Fans nicht während der regelmäßigen Saison gucken, wenn du Teams wie die Cavaliers und die Thunder siehst, weil du sie nicht gesehen hast und du weißt nicht, wie gut die Teams sind, hast du keine Verbindung. Wenn du in die Finals gehst, willst du die Familiarität sehen und es größer fühlen als es ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Auch wenn es die zwei besten Teams in der Liga sind, siehst du sie nicht während der regelmäßigen Saison. Für jeden Grund, für eine oder andere Grund, sind die Ratings in der regelmäßigen Saison runter. Das All-Star-Spiel war... Kind of a mess where they weren't really happy with the product. They weren't really happy with the competitions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
So if you're trying to get the casuals to watch in the finals, the casuals are going to want the teams that they know of, not necessarily the best teams, because they don't know these teams as the best teams, because they're not watching them as they're becoming the best teams, which is the problem the NBA is having.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
You don't have the fans that aren't watching every night, knowing who the best players and best teams are, because they just want to see LeBron James in every championship.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Es ist ein interessanter, vielleicht nur uns, Gespräch, weil die Leute den Medien-Talk hassen, aber wie wird die Verantwortung, um es zu lösen? Ist es die Liga oder sind es die Medienpartner? Weil die Medienpartner werden einfach zu dem gehen, was sie immer gehen, wo sie wissen, dass sie die Zahlen bekommen werden und sie sind nicht unbedingt
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Die nationalen Medien werden nicht unbedingt investieren. Ich muss die Interessen der Fans in der Liga und der Produktion entwickeln, um sie zu kennen. Das ist in der Liga, um zu wissen, wer ihre Star ist und warum sie interessiert sind. Die Medienpartner wollen nur die Zahlen, also gehen sie nur zu, wer sie wissen wird, oder wer sie hoffen wird, sie zu geben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Aber respektvoll, Charles Barkley schaut nicht die Mehrheit der Teams in der Liga. Er weiß nie, wer auf welcher Team in die Liga kommt. Er ist die letzte Person, die Mediennetze nur die Spiele von fünf Teams kritisieren sollte.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Maybe that's a bad omen. You wake the dead, maybe. You're in a happy mood while walking past something somber. I don't know. My dad actually loves a graveyard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Es geht darum, glücklich zu sein und nicht Angst zu haben, in den Graveyard zu gehen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Are you guys like my dad though? Like if my dad, it's like we're traveling somewhere in our hotel. There's a graveyard. He's just like, all right, I'm gonna go walk over to the graveyard. He just likes to... All the time. We stop at graveyard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
You're in the garage late at night, all of a sudden you hear something. Is that Alan Cherry?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Hier sind ältere Graveyards, wir haben gerade an ihnen Stadien gebaut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Sprechst du nur mit Leuten in den Graveyards, wenn du da bist?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Ja? Was ist dein Eisbrecher? Wichst du jemals?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Oh mein Gott, wenn wir in einem Hotel in einer langen Distanz zu einem großen Graveyard sind, habe ich fast gesagt, dass ich gestorben bin und in den Himmel gegangen bin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Ist es möglich, dass die Panthers für Brad getraden haben, um den Ende ihres Karriers zu zerstören? Weil sie so viel Talent haben, dass sie sich entschieden haben, was sie tun werden. Wir messen mit diesem Mann, weil wir ihn hassen und wir machen sicher, dass er müde ist. Du hast heute einen guten Show gemacht, gibst ihm den Sweater, gibst ihm den Hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Jeder ist glücklich, und dann machst du den Rest seines Karriers wirklich schwierig.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Wow, das ist, wo Greg hatte ihn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
It smells like Brian Scrudland.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
What does the future hold for business? It's a question I've been asking myself. And I know if you ask nine experts, you're going to get 10 different answers. Bull market, bear market, inflation up, inflation down. Could someone please just invent a crystal ball? Until that day comes, over 41,000 businesses have already future-proofed themselves with NetSuite by Oracle, the number one cloud ERP.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Das war's für heute. Bis zum nächsten Mal. NetSuite.com slash DLB. NetSuite.com slash DLB.

This episode of the Dan Lebitard Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
That's two. Now you get one more. Gino Smith. Oh, now we can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
That's it. Now we can't.

Hour 1: Roy & David Smell Like Brian Skrudland
Next person, penalty box. Gino Vanelli. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I mean, why do you think Geno Smith went one, two, three, four, five, like eight years in a row in his career without being a starting quarterback, starting two games in an eight-year period? I think you're talking like you're Geno Smith's agent, and stats can be maneuvered and jiggered and wiggled to say just about anything. You can look at pro football focus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
You can look at that kind of analytics and come up with any reason why any quarterback
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I mean, he's saying he's a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. I'm saying at this point in his career, he's a great veteran backup. If you want a veteran backup as a safety net, and he's a guy that you're fine as a one-year stopgap. I think it's somewhere in the middle between both of you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
That's a good point. It's not like he's playing right now. Why did he fly down here? What's the hurry?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
There you go. Not even the best Love in NBA history. Bob Love, Chicago Bulls. Let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
The easiest stat to dismiss is, Passing yards. You put any backup quarterback in the right offense with the right receivers, and he's going to pass for 4,000 yards.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I submit to you 4,000 yards for Geno Smith. Impossible. Impossible. 30 tutties, 11 INTs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Sure, why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
4,000.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I mean, it's attainable. I will do the show from my bathtub if this happens. So he said 4,000 yards, 30 touchdowns, 11 interceptions. That season, Geno Smith, 4,300 yards, 30 touchdowns, 11 interceptions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Bob Love had like a six or seven, eight year period in the middle of his career where he was top 20 in MVP voting each year. Top 20.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
22 points and seven rebounds. Tyler Hero's top 20 in MVP voting. He was top five a couple of years, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Or how wrong Amin is all the other times. I think the funniest thing was Witty referring to underpants. Who says the word underpants?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
See, that's good intel. I don't need a breakdown of useless analytics. I want stats like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
More than three?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Well, more than three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
They probably rescinded Kraus, though. They boo him now in that arena.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Times change. Back in the 60s and 70s, they released everything. Back then, you didn't have analytics. You had points per game, and that was all you needed. Assists and rebounds, the big three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Oh, he's right. Yeah, that's true. It is no Geno Smith.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
10 versus 12. It's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Let me just say, I don't think I'm disrespecting Geno Smith nearly as much as you're overestimating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
But you're also saying Geno Smith is basically a 500 quarterback who's not going to win a playoff game for you. That's a top 10 quarterback?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Okay, he's better than Aiden O'Connell and Gardner Minshew. All right, I'll give you that. He's not even the best Geno of all time. Who's the best Geno? Gino Vanelli, let alone top 10 quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Yeah, I don't think anybody other than you is calling Geno Smith a top 10 quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Exactly. If you're Miles Garrett, you posture. You say, I want to trade. I'm Mr. Competitive. I want to play for a contender. What you really want is the contest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Okay, I'm looking at an NFL.com ranking here. They do have him 12, which is higher than I would have him. Like you say, he's a turnover guy. You know, 15 interceptions weigh a lot, and no matter what the metrics say, that's still a lot of turnover.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
But he's not. He gets to be more popular than ever in Cleveland right now because he's the guy who heroically re-signed with the Lowly Browns rather than go somewhere else. He gets all the money he ever imagined having. And maybe he loves living in Cleveland. Maybe he doesn't like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Okay, that's a factor. whether or not he likes where he's living. I don't care if you make fun of it or not. And I don't know whether he loves living in Cleveland. But if he does, that's another reason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
Right, I agree.

I think DK Metcalf is a legitimate number one receiver. At his size, 6'4", with his speed, I think he's the number one. He's got 48 career touchdowns in five or six years. He's 27. He's in his prime. Receivers...

The Big Suey: If You Say Geno Smith's Name ONE More Time...
I'm aware that two or three years ago he had a big comeback season. At this point in his career, for me, Geno Smith is a great veteran backup or a guy who you can trust to be your stopgap starter while you wait for J.J. McCarthy to bloom, something like that. I just don't see him as a guy you sign thinking, all right, we're solved now. We've got four or five years of great quarterbacking.

Tom Brady was not terrible yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, well, no. When you're trying to say that Mahomes is superhuman and you keep calling him unhuman, like, no, that's not, that's, that's not, he was not good. He was good for Tom Brady, which is bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
But you're right that someone got into his ear and said, tell the stories, because when you're listening to Tom Brady say what it feels like to lose one of those games and that he cannot speak afterward because he's so shell-shocked after they lose to the Giants because the Giants had the pass rush that Philadelphia had. Yeah, those insights were useful during the game.

The perfection of these things on the details are truly staggering.

to imagine just the size and scope of what the NFL does best, which is what they do best is that, is giant, is gluttonous.

Super Bowl Sunday has become Thanksgiving, has it not? In terms of what it is that you do to your body with the eating? It's become a second Thanksgiving, has it not?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
Now, hold on a second. Great American cities. The bones of the buildings have a certain history that when I tell you his father was a DA, you can imagine that time in New Orleans because Harry Connick Jr. represents a symbol from a place. This is a place that's proud to recover from things when the cemeteries are above ground there. It's a haunted, wonderful, dark, light city.

How many great American cities would you guys say there are? Are there five?

I don't know why it is that I was caught slightly off guard by this yesterday, but America enjoying that excellent team exposed, not just booing Taylor Swift, but taking what marks for excellence in America's most popular sport, enjoying seeing it lose, I'm not processing what the last three years has done for us. In terms of football analysis, this one's easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
We can spend all the time you guys want on the pop culture of the game because the analysis of the game is this simple. When the difference between one team's offensive line and one team's defensive line is that. And one team's defensive line and offensive line is that. And one team has both of the superior units.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
And it's that overt to the eye where you're like, oh, my God, they're just better at all that up front. Throughout the history of football, Pop Warner High School, college and pros, that team is undefeated, has never lost a game. When you hold the Chiefs to 23 yards in the first half and you score 24 points on them, That's not the Chiefs you remember.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
That's the Chiefs that figured out a way to win, and you cannot overcome, not with Spaggs, not with Andy Reid, not with Patrick Mahomes, those differences up front where they're giant differences, and you're watching, and you're like, oh my God, they can't get near Hurts, and they're getting Mahomes every time, sacking him more without even bothering to blitz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
It looked just like the Tampa Bay thing all over again, but in that game, Kansas City's offensive line was hurt. In this one, it just got ravaged.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
The thing that I found interesting, because the coverage before the game was pretty much telling you Philadelphia's defense is exceptional, unlike any that Kansas City had seen so far in the playoffs. And we knew that Jalen Hurts is maybe Philadelphia's seventh best offensive player at what he does. because they've got so many good players.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
But what we didn't know is that when you match them up, it would look physically like that up front. Like, you could be watching the Philadelphia defense all season. You could know that Cooper Dejean is one of the best cornerbacks in the game and was all season. And, I mean, that's the biggest white cornerback moment pick six in the history of the sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
Well, I imagine there might be some in the 60s, the 70s. I imagine in the 50s there's something. There was a seahorn. No, but that seahorn got scorched in the Super Bowl. That seahorn might as well have been playing the entire game with a comb, a brush in his hair. Wasn't there a lynch? John Lynch? Yes. There was a John Lynch. Thank you for clarifying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
I mean, it took way too long for you to answer that. Well, because you don't understand why. You don't understand why. Wasn't there a Lynch? You don't know why it is? John Lynch was a safety. He was not. I think Dexter Jackson had a bigger game that time. The number of things that happened in that game, I'm not going to act like I'm unsurprised because, yeah, the Chiefs were favored by a point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
And so the money was on the idea of, yeah, we kind of know that Philadelphia is better, but we're scared of Mahomes, which is how we've been doing it for about three years. And all season long in all of those one-score games, Mahomes was doing it. And then when he plays the Bills that don't have this defense... I mean, pressure with four wrecks everything. There isn't a quarterback who has played.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
There ain't one. I mean, maybe Lamar because he can move away from it. Maybe. But if I get pressure with four all game, I'm going to beat all quarterbacks forever. for the rest of time. Tom Brady among them. That's how his undefeated season ended up ending, just because the Giants could get pressure with four. The best team Tom Brady's ever had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
If you want to tell me something in the sport that you could give me after quarterback, as a thing, I'd want pressure with four.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
Well, you say he's pretty mobile, and he is. You're right. He actually did some things in that game that were reminiscent of in Tampa when he's doing loop-de-loops because he's just got to run away from everybody. He is elusive, but he's slower than he's been. You could see the rust falling off him if you've been watching that offense for the last five years. You see the differences.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
You see their overt differences where they've got to beat you 15 plays at a time. They're very rarely going to go down the field the way they did for their first touchdown. But what you saw in that game... That is unusual because the reason I say Lamar Jackson is because he's the best athlete in the sport. Patrick Mahomes is among them, but those four defensive linemen were him athletically.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Super Bowl LIX Reaction
He wasn't going to be getting away from them in a way like these weren't fat guys chasing him. This wasn't just pressure up the middle. Sweat keeps coming over around the ends and they've got no answer for his wingspan.

No, you're right about that. I mean, neither Shador or Cam Ward are considered that absolute franchise maker. I think what's going to happen with Travis Hunter is a compromise. And if I had to predict, I would say he's going to be an NFL cornerback, but he's also going to be the secret weapon in the red zone. He's going to get eight or ten snaps a game in scoring situations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You know what? Look, it was just a couple of years ago that Deion Sanders goes to Colorado. He's the talk of football. I think he won Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year that year. What did he go, three and nine? Five and seven? Bill Belichick doesn't have to win at North Carolina. He's already won. Eventually, the recruits are going to come after him.

He's not going to need to recruit anybody.

It's a difficult question for me because I don't have a lot of friends, but I do have a lot of money, so I don't particularly need the money. Do I need friends? Eh, debatable. You know, so it's a conundrum.

Part of the reason why the theater is dying is that... And I'm pontificating as someone who doesn't go to movies. I get the irony of that. But... Movies reinvent themselves too much. Like, the franchise is killing the theater. Batman films, you know, Marvel. Statistically, not the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, we don't like that.

Least qualified man. I'm the only one among us who's been featured in a major motion picture, Absence of Malice in 81. Mike's talking about the greatest hips in America. Elvis Presley's hips were barred from appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show in the mid-60s or whenever that was because those hips were moving.

The Oscars need to – it's funny they have a category for editing because they don't edit themselves. It's funny they have a category for short films. How about a short Oscars? They need the Oscars to be a concise, one-hour award show. Eliminate all the fluff. More wheat, less chaff. There's just too much going on. They eliminated the songs, because all five of the best song nominees were awful.

Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
So, granted, we didn't have to hear that, which is great. Otherwise, it would have been a five-hour show. Talk about a metaphor for the night. The brutalist. It's brutal watching anything for three and a half hours, whether it's a film... Or an award show. Come on. If you want to attract the non-movie-aholic, Jessica watched all ten films that were nominated for Best Picture. God love her.

You could put a gun to my head and I wouldn't do that. Come on. I'm just saying. I bet you would. No, no. You could offer me a lot of money to watch The Brutalist for three and a half hours.

Okay, well, that kind of thing.

Bad gambler, man. Onora. Now, Onora sounds like it's a terrible name for a film, Onora. And so is the Dylan film has a terrible title. A Complete Unknown? Yeah, people need to consult with me on the title of a film or something because Onora, I didn't hear, is it a woman's name? What is Onora? It sounds like a car. I drive a Toyota Onora. You know, again, I think... Cilantro.

Okay, that makes sense. But anyway. Annie's a movie great to watch. Yeah, Annie's definitely. Annie's been done. Yeah, these people in back of me were chanting my name a couple of minutes ago.

SAG. Come up with a better name, a better acronym. Who... Who invents, Screen Actors Guild, come up with a different name so that your acronym is not SAG. You know, when people SAG, there's like, you know, have an effervescent acronym, something upbeat, not SAG. You know, that's another thing I'm going to fix, you know, if I'm in charge of the movies. I'm full of ideas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
I'm not a movie fan, but that gives me the perspective, the bird's eye perspective. I'm on a ledge. I'm looking down at the movie industry. I'm seeing what's wrong, what needs fixing, and I'm volunteering to do it. And I'm as serious as I can be when I say cut the Oscars to a concise one hour. Okay, now Conan O'Brien was great. I watched because of him. I was not let down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
He had the great line about the brutalist. It was so good. I never wanted it to end, and it never did. Great line. Conan O'Brien is fabulous. He's not a hero of mine. I don't want to get carried away.

Greg, come back in here. I'm pro-union, by the way. Are you? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Yeah, no, you shouldn't. There are a number of reasons why you shouldn't do it. And it takes a close friend, to be honest, with someone once in a while. Plainly, you're not a hockey fan. You think Roberto Luongo is still the goaltender. You don't know which end of the hockey stick to hold. You don't like hockey. You never watch hockey. You're disqualified from banging the drum slowly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
But I'm getting to that, because the journalism thing is ridiculous. This guy used to be a journalist. He is, right now, if he bangs the drum slowly... And you have to. It's all about the rhythm. Don't do it like Dan Marino. He's never lived it down. Had he made the Super Bowl championship, they would have taken his ring away after he banged that drum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
The thing you have to do is you have to realize that you are abdicating all sense of journalism by literally becoming a cheerleader for the Panthers. You might as well be on their payroll. I don't think I should do it.

Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Dan's going to be working for the Hollywood Sun-Tattler in five years. Did you like that one, Greg? Yeah, he liked that one. You liked the Tatler? Hold on. Hold on. We're replacing Ed Playstead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Yeah, you can, because if you don't know, you should know, and then you're going to look it up. You're going to Google the name, except it's a weird spelling on his surname, so you're not sure how to Google it. But subscribers used to call it the Tattler. The Tattler used to land in our lawn at 1440. I'd read it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Before I'd ever heard of Edwin Pope, I used to read Ed Playstead, who once wrote a column criticizing the NBA commissioner who had died like three years earlier, and he wrote the column as if I was still alive. But where was I?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
A very critical column of the NBA commissioner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
I think it is. Name the NBA commissioner right before the last couple. Like, this would have been going back to the 60s, probably.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Set rec. No, Hollywood Sun-Teller.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
It's basically an abbreviation for setting the record straight. When you make a pretty grievous error or something and you have to correct it. You fool for not getting that. Set rec. But, yeah, just before the paper died, they were the ones that famously had the headline, Cody's Slam Paces Drugs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Because at the time, as a Little Leaguer, I was the first baseman for a team sponsored by Adler's Drugs. I wore uniform number nine because that was my mother, her favorite number. And I still have that headline somewhere in my house. But, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
No, that wouldn't happen. You know, that wouldn't happen. Why? Well, first of all, they don't want me. They could have announced me, but they didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Right. Yeah, well, you know, I was born in Massachusetts. He was born in New York. Who's more Hispanic? I am. It's a fair question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Yeah, good point. Canucks are Vancouver, right? Way over on the other side of the country. Beautiful city, though. Been through there on my way to an Alaskan cruise once. Really? Where'd you stop? Normally that's not the port, but in that case it was.

Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Where'd you go? What's that little Sask... No, I almost said Saskatchewan. It's a similar... Saskatoon? No. Hmm. I'll think of it. I'll get back to you. Please do. Mark, good work, as always.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Yeah. It's a little town that is floated only by the... Sitka. Do you still think Dan is a journalist? Been to Sitka. Skagway? Journalism is amorphous now. I don't know who is and who isn't. Is Stephen A. Smith a journalist? I don't know. You tell me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
uh... but i'm i'm just saying back in the day and he knows this he's considered it you know back in the day if you were a journalist by whatever definition you wouldn't cheerlead either literally or figuratively for the home team you would try to be honest and fair but you wouldn't be uh... an overt homer he calls me a homer he knows better
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
I love getting comments like, you're a homer because I know I'm not, and other people think I'm too critical of a team, and somewhere in the middle is honesty.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
What are you doing? Yeah, they have a heliport there. So your copter will fit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But since we began this conversation, I did hear that the Levitard Show is going to have a suite with an open bar. So now I'm in favor of you banging the drum.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Why wouldn't I love it then, if it's an old person's show? I would think that you would love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
I didn't see a single one of the films. You know, it's a weird thing about me, and I must get this ten times a week. They're like, you were featured in a major motion picture, Absence of Malice. How can you not be... You don't get that ten times a week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Okay, I am exaggerating a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Yeah. I mean, everybody wants to know what was Paul Newman like? How was Sidney Pollack to work with?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Yeah, and he was great. You know, I tried to stay away from him. I'm a young actor at that time. You know, I'm in my late 20s, I think, but... It was a great experience, but all this time later, the movies have left me behind. I just don't feel involved. I don't go to theaters. I don't like the theater experience. I've been to one film in the last five, seven years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Right. And what the Oscars need to do is recognize that and resuscitate the whole theater experience by making theatrical releases their own category. Like, I think movies that come out on Netflix or any other streaming service should be in a different category than movies you can only see in a theater. And that would prop up the theater releases as something special.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
Like, I'm going to watch it on TV. Right. Yeah, I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, so my wife just told me that that film will be available in my home viewing audience soon, and I'll watch it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, the only Hall of Fame I'm in is the Orange Bowl Media Hall of Fame.

I tell you, Billy, man, he's on the mark.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
My fantasy, the regular PFPI, not PFPI fantasy, is toying around with the idea of a Hall of Fame. Really? You know, as it is, we... By the way, speaking of movies, the Dad's Dynamics Cup PFPI Championship Trophy weighs almost twice what an Academy Awards Oscar weighs. Fascinating. Wow. Like 8 pounds to roughly 14 pounds. Wow. So I correlate that with, you know, what's got the heft?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
You know, what do you want to hold?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's Why They Call Me Marco
That's right. No question about that. But to Mike's point, yes, I'm a proposer. I am proposing a solution to help resuscitate movie theaters, but I'm an idea man. You know, I'm not going to participate in saving the theater, but I'm going to suggest how it might be done. Billy, it's crowded in here today.

How many James Bonds have there been? Can anybody name them all? Because I stopped watching after Sean Connery.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I looked after a house for Dad for about four months, late 2006. And it was finished up just before Christmas, but we had a punch list to do. So we all came back. And then right after the first, July the 1st, I mean, January the 1st, the crew went back down to the coast to do the punch list. And I told them, I'm not coming. Just bring a check when you get done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So on the 7th, January the 8th of that year, they called me. We had finished. We got it all signed off, and we got your check. So I said, well, bring it on to the house and give it to Dad, and he'll pay you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
and so they got their checks about one or two o'clock or 12 30 or one o'clock they went to town cashed them and come back and called me and said hey boss let's celebrate uh would you take us fishing and i knew what that meant because these guys were just construction workers they worked with my dad for years and years but when they wanted to go fishing that meant
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I had only four-wheel drive truck. And where they wanted to go, we had to go down in the woods to a river bottom, right? And this is gnarly going down in there. So I said, yeah, why not? Chris Jenner was at home. My wife was out of town with the other three children. And so about 2.30 in the day, they came back. We loaded up the fishing gear and took off to the river, only three miles away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So we pulled up, parked. And if I can give you an idea of where we were, Cape Fear River, it's not a big river. It's only like 60 yards wide where we were. And the main road, if you come up on a big field on the left, there's a two-rutt road that crosses this field. It's 200 yards across to the wood line. When you get to the wood line, there's a gate, and it goes downhill 100 feet to the river.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
about an eighth of a mile, and then you make a right, and you end up in a cul-de-sac, another eighth of a mile. It's important I tell you this so you get what happened. So we're now sitting on the river bank, parked about 2.30 or quarter to 3, and I wasn't into fishing. My mind wasn't into fishing at all. In fact, I was struggling with everything. My thoughts... I'm broke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
How can I support my children? I'm 46 years old. I have this disease that's killing me. This Crohn's disease is a terrible thing. And so that's where my brain was. Wow, these guys were excited. And Chris Jr., I made sure they were sitting on the bank and everything's taken care of. Because in my mind, I'm going to walk away and go meditate in the forest somewhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so once they started fishing, I said, I'm going to walk down in the cul-de-sac to about an acre of grassy area or just a round acre is where that road did end. And then the very back of it, is where I had walked down along the river to a gully and I sat beside a tree till about four o'clock and it got very dark. Not letting these guys know what I was thinking, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
That I'm depressed and I'm thinking very bad thoughts, struggling with, you know, how am I going to make it? How am I going to support my kids? And about 4 or 10 after 4, it started getting the sun going down. It was about 5.30 in January, the sun sets, right? And so I made my way back out of the woods because the canopy had made it dark. I didn't have a flashlight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I walked right up to these guys, and they were my son, Chris Turner, and these men. They're grown men, you know, they're running crews, have families. And I said, you guys want to fish some more? You want to go home? And they're, well, we just got here, boss. We want to fish. I said, well, it's going to get cold tonight. Let's get a fire going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So we went around that acre, all of us, and we gathered up all the dead wood we could find and got a fire going right on the riverbank. And it was about 10 after 5 now. And I said, we had a hint of daylight still. You could see the blue sky still. I said, I'm going to walk up to the gate. And I'm going the opposite direction to the way we came in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I'm going to sit at the gate by the field, and I'm going to watch for deer, coyote, turkey. So I was born and raised a hunter. And I was big into hunting, hunted all over the country from Montana to Texas and shot my first deer at five years old. Was shot point blank in the back with a shotgun at 10. Little hole in me this big, right in my shoulder here. I have lead, you can see on this side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
That was another near death experience when I was 10. And so I left them walking. I look back, and they're sitting there by the fire, and I felt like they're taken care of. I'm going to keep walking. So all I'm doing, Sean, is crying out to the heavens. Help me. What do I do? Give me the answers. And I was a spiritual guy then in the church, and I'm praying as I'm going along.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And when I got within—here's the weird thing. I was just part of the way down parallel in the river. When I heard something in the woods beside me, I thought it was a deer to start with. And so I stopped and I'm looking, trying to look through this thick brush and couldn't see anything. So I walked some more. And when I started walking, it started walking. Scared me then.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I don't ever get scared in the woods. I mean, I'm in the Boone and Crockett record book for shooting one of the biggest black bears in North America. Back then, it was one of the record 660 pounds and I shot him from six foot away. I mean, that's how... You know, I wasn't afraid then. It was too quick to be afraid. He'd come out at me. But I got afraid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Then this sound started sounding like two feet. And so I stopped and I got down on my knees and I looked under the brush because along the edges it's really thick. Once you get in the woods, it'll open up, right, because of the tree canopies. Never could see what that was. Three times it had me to stop and to get down to see what was that tracking me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So when I got to the curve or to the point where the road turned west and started up the hill, the sound stopped. And I'm looking up at a sky that I thought the sun was still about the top of the trees or so on. But I couldn't tell because I'm looking uphill at a metal gate, cattle gate at the top of that hill. And it's a long haul up there, about 100 feet to go up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And it's ruts, muddy ruts and grass, you know, some places knee high. So I'm having to watch every step. And it's starting to get dark. And the closer I got to the top of that hill, I'm not hearing this in the woods beside me now. And I wanted to tell you that because it'll come back in the picture here in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I got about 30 feet from the top of that hill, and I began to see what I thought was the sun, the top of it, just the very top of it. Over the horizon? Yeah, over just, you know, I got a gate. I'm looking up at a gate, a metal gate. The road goes up, and I could see the sun just barely above that gate. and the top of the trees. When I first glanced at it, I didn't think much about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I looked down to take another step because I didn't want to walk in the mud. And about three more steps up the hill, there it was in full view. And it was this blood-red, tangerine-orange ball of fire about 40 or 50 feet around. And I was like, oh my God, what is that? I could see the flames going around it, and the tips were shooting off. This thing's huge, like big, and it's only 300 yards away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It's just beyond the road and just at the top of the trees and sitting there. It kind of frightened me a second, but I'm curious. I walked up two more steps, and when I did— Now my field of view has gotten wider because I don't have the trees of the road. You know, I'm looking up the chute. Now I can see more. And there's a second one right beside it. And that's when chills came over me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So I couldn't explain it. I dropped to my knees because by doing that, I'm using the heel to hide from them. So I'd raise my head up and I could see they were there. And I'm sitting here on the ground thinking, what in the world is this? I knew it wasn't nothing from this world or from the military. You know, I'm trained in that.

In fact, I have military manuals that were given to me for, you know, they used to get you to train on different types of aircraft, from Russian to... So, in my world of aviation, so... I automatically knew what I'm looking at wasn't a helicopter, it wasn't something of ours. So I'm hiding there and I crawl over to the ditch into these reeds, you know, reeds or growing wetlands.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so I'm peeking through these reeds thinking I'm hiding from what I'm seeing, not realizing they'd see me. And I start making my decision to run. I got to run because I'm thinking about Chris Jr. back behind me down the hill that I've gotten frightened. I sit there long enough that it really frightened me bad. So I made a plan to run and I turned my body

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I'm sitting on the ground on my knees hiding, right? So I raise up and I turn my body to run. I'm in the motion to run. And I look back one more time. I got to see what's up there. And when I did, straight above me, a third one appeared and went shot right down beside the other two. And I knew then, I knew it saw me. I knew I was on its radar. And that's a different feeling
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
You know, somebody could see a ball of light fly by. Oh, my God, I saw a UFO. And that does something to you. But when you see it and it responds to you, and it's the way that did, I knew I felt like a rat, a lab rat, or I was, you know, I'm in trouble. So the next thing I know, I'm about 50 yards from the fire, and I'm kind of walking through this mud, and I have no recollection of what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Coming down that hill, I only could remember the last 50 yards going up to the fire. These three men are standing there around the fire. They're no longer fishing. Fire's burned down to a little small fire. And they're looking down, talking. They couldn't see me coming because I didn't have a flashlight. I'm coming out of the dark. I could see them from the fire. And I snuck up on them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I said, hey, guys, you won't believe what just happened. And the first thing, one said, where, Indy? And I'm not going to use the words they used, but where have you been? I said, I was just up at the hill. What do you mean? I told you I was going up to the field. They said, you've been gone all night. I said, no, I haven't. I've been gone 20 minutes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And we're arguing this, and I noticed Chris Jr. is not there. And I told him, you won't believe what I just saw up top of that hill, these three balls of fire. Then immediately, where's Chris Jr.? Well, he went looking for you two hours ago, and we can't find him now. He walked into the cul-de-sac, into the far end of the cul-de-sac where you had gone earlier that day, searching for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I panicked. Oh, my God. These woods are huge. You know, 60 miles to Wilmington from where we are, and nothing but forest along that river. And all I could think is he's lost in there, 17 years old, no flashlight. And they're telling me that one stayed at the fire while the other two took my truck. And they even pointed out my truck had been moved from where I parked it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
They said, we've been everywhere looking for you all night. And so I immediately took off running to the back of that cul-de-sac shouting for Junior. I was worried about what happened to me up there. I was freaked, right? And here's my son missing. And I started making my way into the woods.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And around the edges of any field, especially where we live, it's real thick because it's just shrubbery, right? And so I'm parting this stuff, and I'm calling out for Chris Turner, and I get about 10 feet in there, and I hear him. He wasn't answering me until I walked right up, almost stepped on him. And he come up out of these bushes, and he grabbed me, and he's weeping. This is your son? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And it wasn't because of that so much. It was after, right? It was a lot of trouble after that, that he went through. And we'll talk more about that in a second. But to see your son in shock, eyes like this, shaking, So he's like, why did you leave me? What was your initial thought when you saw your son like that? What did you think happened? I was freaking out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It's completely, to me, the real world is the unseen world where there's no time. I think we're in some sort of matrix here where we experience time from the the physical body, right? Once you're born, it starts decaying right after it grows, and it's a cycle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I didn't want to tell him what had happened to me because he's talking. He's saying things like, these creatures, Dad, these creatures. Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me? I said, I didn't leave you, son. I've been gone but 20 minutes. He said, no, Daddy, you've been gone all night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
This is a baby, you know, babies at that age. And so he began to tell me. I grabbed him. All he wanted to do was go home. He wanted to go home. He didn't want to know more what happened to him. And so what happened was where he was at the back of that cul-de-sac, he could see all the way down parallel the river to the end where I made the turn and started up the hill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So it's a quarter mile he could see. all the way down. And he's over there in the edge of the forest calling out for me while they're driving the truck. One guy's sitting at the fire, and the fire is between, you know, he's got to walk toward what he saw coming to get to the fire. So he sees these two red lights.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
crossed the road and he thought they were flashlights, like military, I used to have a military flashlight that had a red on it, right? And you remember those. And so that was his first thought, there were somebodies walking with these red flashlights. So they crossed the road over to the riverside, disappeared.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So he takes off and he runs back to the fire and he tells these guys about these two lights he saw and Then he turns and he goes back to the back of that cul-de-sac, still calling for me. And about that time, these two red lights come back out of the riverside, back out in the road, and they start towards him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Now, these two balls of light, they look like this big, and they're floating three feet off the ground, coming all the way down that road. And as they got closer to him... He got scared and he started hiding. So he laid down on his stomach and crawled up under, back up under the thickest rubs. And they came up within 20 feet of him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And what he saw were these two little glowing beings that were yea high, probably three, two and a half, three feet tall. And they had these bright red eyes. And the whole time one was staring at him, he couldn't shout, he couldn't move. He was in such terror, he was frozen. And I don't know if they had the power to keep him from, he thought that they had that power over him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
As long as they were looking at him, he couldn't speak. So he was gone a total of two hours. And he, I don't know how long exactly, he was there with these little beings walking around him, but it really, it put him in shock. And so I led him back to the fire. And these guys were freaked out too because they'd heard what happened. They didn't know what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
They knew that I'd been gone all night and Junior's talking about creatures. And I'm talking about balls of fire at the top of the hill. So these men starting to get spooked real bad. And one of the guys looks up and points, oh, look at that. And we all look up and it looked like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
The brightest star, Venus, in the night sky, when it's just its brightest, it was the 8th or 9th of these, just appeared, and they just came on, and they went out away from one another, and they came back in a circle, and they made this big circle, and they were putting on a show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
and then three of these things came all the way down and landed across the river 60 yards to the other side of that river they were up on the other side of it in a cut down it timbered the place out so you can imagine pandemonium set in at that moment we left out of there with fishing poles still there coolers everything we brought we didn't even wait to touch it and we jumped in that truck and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
But the eternal world is alive and around us, and I have been able to experience that and have shared it with a lot of others, this hidden world around us. I think our loved ones are on the other side
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I'm taking off up through this muddy road, and one of the guys is beating on the back of my seat, saying, go, go, go. And there's this red ball of light coming up behind us, following the truck. So undoubtedly, it came out of the back of that cul-de-sac. It was still in there and was coming up behind the truck. They were screaming to the top of their lungs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
But the weird thing is, Sean, I was like... numb to it. I wasn't afraid. I'd lost all fear from where I was when it appeared on the top of that hill to now I'm not afraid. So we make the turn and we start up that hill and I'm going so hard with that Ford truck up that hill and it's wallowing in the ruts and, you know, the shrubs on either side of bus brushing the mirror as I sit down in the swamp.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And when I crossed the top of that hill, that gate, it was almost like I liken it to an old Streets of San Francisco movie where the cars would jump when they go over the hills. We almost went airborne. That's how fast we were trying to depart that place. But when we topped that hill, those three orange oars, two of them were still in the exact same spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Yeah. Now we got three 40-foot balls of white light on the riverbank behind us. And something, an orb, which I know what it was, it was one of those beings. Their eyes from a distance looked like a little ball of light. You can't really tell. And so now we're faced with two 40-foot balls of fire, 300 yards and about 200 feet in the air in front. And the third one is the one that took me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
That's the one that appeared above me and shot down. That thing now is sitting in the road. And it's halfway between us and the highway. So it's 100, 150 yards away. And when I went over that hill, I slammed on brakes because of that. It's sitting there. It looks like a football now. It's going white. It changed from red to white.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And it's sitting sideways in the road, just hovering about five feet off the ground. And it looks like an egg or a football. About that time, we heard gunshots. And we all heard them. And we thought immediately one of these country boys had pulled out the shotgun and they were shooting at this thing. So it just pivots and it starts towards us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It's coming down the road at us, five feet off the ground. Then it starts up. But I want to back back one second. Before we heard the gunshots, there's this mobile home in the back of that field. And there were two cars there. And one of the guys with me says, I know who that is. That's Shane. I play softball with him. So let's go to his house. Nobody had a phone. I didn't have a cell phone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I couldn't afford one. Nobody had one. And we just wanted somebody to see this with us, right? So I drove across the ditch, up in this man's yard, pulled my truck right up to his front door. And the storm door's open. I mean, it's closed, but the front door's open. So we could see the TV playing through the door, two cars in the yard. And one of the guys gets out and knocks on the door.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Nobody answers. And I even blew the horn. My truck's, you know, six feet from the front door. Headlights blurring in. And I'm looking back through the window, and there's a thing sitting in the road behind us, right? Because the mobile home was facing the way out. And we had turned up to the door, and that orb stood. I mean, this football was still there, 100, 150 yards. Nobody answers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So I backed back out, and I pulled back out in the road. Now I'm about 40 or 50 yards closer to this thing because we had to go forward to get to this mobile home. About that time, the three gunshots happened. And then it starts, and it comes, and it comes. And when it gets to my truck, I open the sunroof on it, and it crossed over the top of my truck, and it was probably 60 feet up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I could have shot it with a homemade slingshot, and it hit this thing. No sound, just glowing white light that was doing this. Did it look solid or did it look kind of translucent? It looked, once it got that close to us, it looked almost, it was blinding from the light. But at a distance, it looked like an egg. It's hard to tell it was translucent because of the light coming off of the thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
But it was definitely shifted from a red ball of fire to a football or an egg or a tic-tac. And I'll tell you how I got involved with government because when I reported that thing, I'll tell that in a minute. So here this thing comes over my truck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It moved up and over a tree in front of me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
No, this one, it came down the road, and there was one tree between us and it to the side. It went up and over. And when it came over the truck, it cleared the trees behind me. There was a solid stand of woods behind me. So it had to have been about 80 feet at the most to clear them trees. And then it turned. It pivoted and shot off to the north. So I had to gasp.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Now I'm flying out of there, and these guys, they're just the end of the world. We've been invaded. Where's the military? Where's Fort Bragg? Get me home so I can see my wife before it's over. I mean, it was just drastic. Now I'm no longer afraid. I wasn't afraid like they were. They were all terrified. So I'm sitting back, kind of numb, watching this take place.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I wanted to get out of the truck and look at it. They were like, having nothing to do with that. So we take off and we start toward dropping these guys off. One of them lived, or two of them lived side by side about two and a half miles away. The other one lived about six miles away, seven miles. They were fighting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
who got to go home first, so bad that this guy that lived seven miles away went out. So we had to drive to him, drop him off, and turn around and come back to drop the other two off. But on the way, we had orbs, balls of light, tracking us alongside the truck, crossing over in front of us. And one of the most...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
These kinds of details, I'm going to tell you now, all played a major part in my understanding of what was going on. Because halfway there between where we were and the home of the first two guys, two and a half miles, right? Halfway there is a dead man's curve. I mean, it's a sharp curve. It's like if you go through it at 35, you're having a hard time. The car just, you could lose it real easy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I don't know, but the Bible says, and I knew you before you were born. So if you're eternal, we were part of God. In other words, we're consciousness, the word consciousness leads back to one. So you got all these people talking about consciousness now. Well, that just means God, right? So I think we're all a part of God and we breed the life into every one of us and we return back to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
In fact, my first wife was killed there in that curve, and I found her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It was a weird thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
No. I'm going to tell you. In 1980, one or two, 82. We'd been married 11 months and 28 days. So we had two days before our wedding anniversary. And I had gone deer hunting to the coast with my dad. And we were hunting islands with dogs, right? And my neighbor, Fran, growing up, we had a hunting club out in the middle of nowhere on 4,000 acres of land. Dad had it for 25 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And that's where all the young kids would go and party on Friday night or Saturday night. They'd have a keg party or whatever. And I'd gone hunting, and they all called me, you got to come to the party. And so my wife said, I'll meet you there. She went to the party. I got home about 8 o'clock from the coast, got dressed, and took off down to the party. And...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
She had left the party and went through that curve too fast and rolled into somebody's front yard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I saw the car laying on its side when I went by going to this party, and the wheels were still turning. I didn't recognize the car. I got out, and the people were at the front door of their house, opened the door, and looked out right when I walked up in the yard. They heard it. So I was there within 60 seconds of it happening. And I said, have you seen the person driving this car?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And they said, no. I said, you better call 911. It looks pretty bad. And I had envisioned whoever was in that car, because the car's laying on its side, and the wheels are still turning. The motor's running. Nobody's in the car. All the windows have broke out. So I walked back toward the highway, and that's where I found her. Had no clue. Oh, man. And she died right there, me opening her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
unless we fail, you know, there's consequences.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so I lived a long time stressed over that. Never could get over it. I should have been there. It was my fault. And so I lived with that. Well, that night coming home, from the river.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It was Dana. And that whole incident on the river, on the way home, we approaching that dead man's curb, right over the spot where she was killed is this big thing hovering right over top. I slammed on brakes. I saw it immediately where it was. And I wanted to get out and look at it up under. I mean, it was right above us. It was just above this big high tension power line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Well, they were fighting me bad. They're not having none of this. But what I wanted to say was that at that moment, it spoke to me telepathically or whatever. and said, you need to not worry about her. She's in good hands. And so I take these guys on home, right? I never told them this, what happened. I only wrote about it years later. But that's when I got peace from the whole incident.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
After 25, 30 years, or 20 years at least. I can't do the math. It was in 2007. We were married in 82. I finally got peace from that. Everybody's terrorized by UFOs, orbs, lights. And I'm thinking about... this relief from what... So I'm in a different world from them now, right? And I still don't know what happened to me. I had no clue what happened for four hours. Couldn't believe it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So I dropped these guys off. Chris Jenner and I head back home. Now he's... I'm worried about him. He's panicked. He's going through the house, locking it down. Every room, he'd close the door and lock it. Even the bathroom. And he'd turn the lights on. Run up, shut the blind, turn all the lights and lock the door. I'm in my study looking on TV to try to find news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
You know, there's an invasion happening. We just knew this. It was crickets. I couldn't find anything. So Junior finally comes to the room and says, have you found anything? I said, no, son. And then about that time, we hear something come over the house with this humming noise. I thought it was a helicopter because it was coming from Bragg's direction.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
which is only 15 miles from me, from the base 20 miles, and it's heading exactly towards the river. And suddenly, once it goes out of hearing, every dog in our kennel started barking. My dad raised dogs all his life. He had 100 at the time when I'm growing up, and even then he had 15 hounds in that kennel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
They're all, these old hounds just got a loud mouth right, and they're barking as loud as they can. And what it sounded like was they were afraid. Dogs can bark different sounds. Anybody who knows hunting knows what a dog's saying. I knew they were scared. They were seeing something. They didn't know what it was. I said, Junior, the only thing I could think of
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
is where Dad's kennel was, is in the forest behind his house, back in the head of woods. And he had a double car, separate garage next to the kennel. So the dogs could see the kennel. I thought somebody had come from the road and was breaking into his shop. And the dogs saw. And that was what was going on in my head. And Junior was like, we're not going out there. I said, Dad, I said, Junior,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
We won't use a flashlight. We'll sneak down in there and use Rosie at 110-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever sitting on the back steps. And her hair was standing up. She's watching towards the kennel in the woods. And this awful racket, right? And I finally convinced them to go with me. or stay, whichever he wanted, and he was scared to be by himself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So he grabbed me by the back of the shirt, and I'm walking real slow. I walked out the door, and Rosie took off toward the kennel, ran out of sight. We walked across the lawn to a two-rupt road, went down in the woods, got to the back of that kennel.

I think it's like a wireless internet, basically. All the information to every living thing is around us. In fact, I read studies from NASA, and I have a couple that are pretty interesting, where it talks about the green light that shines from the sun, the way it angles on Earth, the light is in the green spectrum, which is the color spectrum, the center.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And now all these dogs, and imagine they're very loud, and we're standing there looking at 15 hounds in a kennel, barking as hard as they can towards the woods in the back. Oh, this is weird. These dogs should be looking toward the grass. And I'm whispering to Jenner, and Rosie's right there in front of us, pointing in the woods, her hair standing up, barking every breath.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I said, Jenner, I said, it must be a bear. Dogs, not scared of deer. But they will do this on a bear sometimes. The scent, they get scared. So... I said, I'm going to put Rosie in on whatever's in there, and she'll run them out. We're going to run back to the yard, go to the back of the property.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
We made a plan, and we're going to hide behind this giant oak tree and hope we can cut her off before she runs through. As soon as I bumped her on the butt, she jumped in the woods, and Jenner and I took off running. We had to go to the end of that road, make a left in the yard, and go to about 400 feet, 500 feet. It was a big yard, six acres there, to cut whatever's in there off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I just knew it would be a bear or deer or something. So when I made the left turn, the grass was a little—now we got frost, right? It was cold that night. We're talking about 11 o'clock now. He pulled loose from me, so I thought I'd just pulled away from him when I slipped a little bit, but what happened was he had had enough. He took a right, went back to the house. He's in the back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I didn't know that, though. I'm running to the back hard as I can, ran up to this big tree, and I ran so hard, I was trying to be quiet. I'm trying to catch my breath, so I'm panting, trying to be quiet with the right, and I've stopped myself against the tree. And so I turned around after about a few seconds of stopping and panting. Dog's coming straight at me. He's coming through the forest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I looked back to see if Chris Jr. was going to come up. And when I did, there was a little, the same thing he described on the river, this little glowing being about yea tall with glowing red eyes. And it was glowing the color of the moon. It looked like a child. It looked like a four-year-old child, about that size. Didn't look like a gray alien or none of that, what people report.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It looked like a glowing little child. But the details, shiny. This thing was glassy. It was gleaming. The body looked like it had glass on it. And about that time, when I turned back and saw it, it frightened me so bad that my hair stood up. Every cell of my body went, oh my God, I'm dead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So I went toward the trees to turn around instead of where I was standing because I didn't want to get no closer to it. So I leaned into the tree and I turned and put my back to the tree and I said, I surrender. I don't mean you harm. And it said to me in this thunderous voice, it said, you don't understand. I'm not here to hurt you. We're here to help you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
About that time, Rosie comes on through and this thing vanishes in front of me. I didn't see it anymore. I walked up to the house trying to figure out why it just happened and how not to tell Chris Jr. what I had just seen because he didn't want that around him any longer. And next morning, when I get up, about 10 o'clock that day, I hadn't had my medication.

And I had been taking medication for 17 years for Crohn's. And if I missed it one day, it was suffer time. Yeah, I'd take it every day. If I missed a day, the next three days, my system would get out of whack and it was more restroom, right? And I didn't feel the normal sickness that I normally have. I didn't feel the nausea. I didn't feel any of it. And I thought, this is weird.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I've been living with this every day and now I don't feel it. And from that point forward, I never had another symptoms of Crohn's disease. It was completely gone. I've been to Chapel Hill University. I've had specialists check me out from top to bottom, and there is no marker for Crohn's being there. And see, I come down with rheumatoid years later, 2009.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I've been treated since then for rheumatoid arthritis. And they thought it was the Crohn's that had come back. But it wasn't. The Crohn's didn't come back as rheumatoid. There's no marker there. RA was a different story. But long story short, that was the end of the January 7th initial encounter.

I told him, I said, son, I said, I believe they're angels. He said, no, daddy, they had to be dead. He couldn't even get it out. They were demonic entities. I said, no, they weren't, son. They were angels. They healed me. So we battled that for months. And here's the thing. It never left me. I mean, it never left. And to this day, it's still with me.

And I mean stronger today than it was back then. This is why the government has studied me. They've studied me more than any human in existence.

We went through the longest time trying to convince him, I did, that it was positive, and it got worse for him because from that point forward, this is where I want to say, if I could say this word, this is where hell set in for me because I'm telling everybody They put it in my head that night that I had to tell the world.

So I compared myself to Richard Dreyfuss on Close Encounters of the Third Kind where he was making the mashed potato devil's tower on his table. He could see it.

I had the weight of the whole conference on me, not just some local church down the street. So there was a lot of power there. And other churches, local churches, my mother, my very religious lady, all at that time, they all automatically resorted to, it's the devil, it's demonic, you know. And I'm saying, but they healed me. And that wasn't what I experienced.

And they got so bad that they tried to take my children from me. They wanted to divide my family. They were telling my kids that I'm playing with the devil. He's going to ruin them children.

These things can read your mind. They're connected to our thoughts. This is why one thing I can promise you, if you're a God-fearing man and you know the Bible, one thing that the church knows is they always preach. You hear it all the time. Only God can read your thoughts. Only heaven, not that the devil can't read your thoughts, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So this is something taught to all Christians from early on. The devil can whisper in your ear, but he can't read your mind. Well, they read your mind, and they're connected to us.

I've seen it a thousand times. People come to see the phenomenon. I've had many, 75 with me at the time, and it appears. But there are certain people, if they're afraid or if they're skeptical, I can tell you skeptical people about this phenomenon will never see anything. They're left out. Because if they know your free will, they don't want to go against your free will.

So myself at 10 and my best friend and my first cousin, grabbed a shotgun, took off about a mile away, three-quarters of a mile. We walked to the back of a cornfield, and we spread out, and we were going to shoot doves, right? It was dove season. And this bird came over. My neighbor, he shot at it, missed it, came right over, and I shot, and it turned, and it went away and landed in the woods.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I knew I'd hit it. So I took off across the field walking, a double-barrel shotgun in my hand. I walked up to the edge of the woods, and I saw them in there in a pile of briars, flipping, fluttering around. So I thought, I better put a shell in my gun in case it gets up and flies away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So I cracked that double barrel open, and I pulled two shells out of my coat, and I put one in and dropped the other. Did not know that my friend... wanted to claim that he shot the bird, right, and ran across the field behind me. I didn't know he was there. Ran up right behind me, and when I reached over and picked that shell off, he was going to shoot over me and shoot that bird and claim.

Kids, when I stood up, it hit me right square right here in the shoulder, blew a hole this big. I have a scar that big on my back. Now, imagine a 10-year-old. I was only this tall.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It felt like a sledgehammer hit me. It drove me about 10 feet forward and face down in the forest. And the first thing, I felt blood running everywhere. And I said, why did you shoot me? And now my cousin's coming across the field, and they're fighting. They're screaming at one another, go get help. He's my cousin. I'm staying with him. He's my best friend. I'm going to stay with him.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
That's what they were doing. I'm laying there bleeding to death. And so the farmer heard them fighting. And here he comes down that cornfield in an old pickup truck. It was a blue and white Ford from the 60s. And he runs in the woods, picks me up like a sack of potatoes and threw me in his truck. Took me to the hospital. Next thing I know, I'm up in space looking down from way up high.

I could see the Earth getting smaller and smaller and smaller. And then I wake up, and I'm out of surgery, and I'm in an X-ray room. Back then I had so much lead in me from birdshot that I still have 17 pieces in here. You can see it on this side, all in this shoulder and this front. I set the airport x-ray machine off. They'll pat me down most every time I go through because of that.

But all I remember is seeing the earth from above and being out of my body in total peace. I wasn't cold. I wasn't afraid. I was just at a marvel of looking at all this. And then when I came back to, there's my mom looking through the window crying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Well, I'll tell you what they did. And this is in the book. There's a whole lot in this book I've not covered. I've glossed over. Along about 2004, my Crohn's was so bad. I mean, it was in bad shape. And I was in such depression because I had lost $19 million in savings and net worth. Gone. I've sold every apartment building or house I had, rentals. I had a lot of them just to pay interest.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And we sold the business to a really big builder from North Carolina that builds 1,500 homes a year. And my doctor is treating me. He's like, you know, he would just hug me and cry with me. Because we'd been friends forever. And... He said, I'm sorry for getting emotional here. Thinking back is hard. Today it's wonderful and joyful. It's a different world today, but those old memories are tough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Right? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
But he said, look, there's a new study out. There's this antidepressant medicine called Paxil that's supposed to show help for Crohn's because stomach problems are exacerbated from stress. The more you worry, the worse it gets. And I was so bad that my whole inside was inflamed and was very painful. And so he puts me on Paxil. And he tells me I should probably have somebody to talk to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
So he sends me to a psychiatrist, right? Never thought about anything like that. And I was embarrassed to go, but he convinced me you need to do this. So I go to this psychiatrist. And I thought it was odd when I walked into his room, he was smoking a cigarette and laughing and talking to me. And he only spent five minutes with me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
He looks at my paperwork and what the doctor prescribed, and he said, oh, you're on all the wrong stuff. He didn't take me off that. He added more to it. He just added a couple prescriptions that said, take this and come back in five days or, you know, next week or seven days. Every week I had to go back once a week. And within 60 days, I didn't know who I was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I had gone into, I was unconscious. And what he did, he had put me on something called lithium. I didn't know what it was. I didn't know even what the scribble was. He didn't tell me that's what it was. He just wrote these prescriptions. And the thing when you take that, you're supposed to test your liver for metals and all your system, your organs can fail because of toxic metal poisoning.

Well, that's what happened to me. I woke up in the hospital. I was laying on a stretcher completely covered from head to toe. And I come up out of my body and I was at the ceiling and I could see down my wife sitting there. Three doctors walked in the room and she was crying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I never forget, I heard the doctor's name, which I won't say it now because of his privacy, but the guy said, good evening, doctor. This is the 113th patient that this physician has injured or put in the hospital. Come to find out, the guy that was treating me had gone off the deep end and was taking medication himself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I don't know what he was taking, but he overdosed and died while I was in the hospital. He put 113 patients of his in the hospital and overdosed and died. This happened. This is in the book. And, you know, why? It's like getting shot. I didn't want that. I didn't ask for it. It just happened. Now here it is. Somebody else has poisoned me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It seems like everything that's happened to me has been out of my hands. There's a lot in this book that I've been through from Third-degree burns, catching on fire. When I was two years old, I had big scars up my legs. So a brand-new Trans Am in 79 blew up 2,000 miles in the radiator.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It overheated, and the radiator exploded and put me in the hospital with third-degree burns from my neck out to this arm. I had skin grafts. A brand new car. So I thought all my life, something's trying to keep me from being here or keep me from doing something one day.

I was, yeah. I was a deacon in the Pentecostal Holiness Church. So I was raised in the Baptist Church, and I married my wife 42 years ago. Congratulations. And we're still in love and happy. And she says, you're going to marry me. You're going to go to the church with me. You're not going to drink and all that. So I agreed. I was 20 years old, 21, and we got married.

In fact, I believe that um when i was 10 years old when that happened to me it was so traumatic you know i grew up with a gun in my hand five years old um you know it's just part of being where i was raised you know 10 years old i'm carrying a gun and got shot so my whole life changed to um to a different perspective.

And I didn't realize it until this event happened in 2007. But I can look back and I write about this in the book, a lot of things. In other words, I began to see after this doctor poisoned me the second time, the weirdest thing happened. My family, all of them can tell you. I would be sitting in my kitchen, and this is right after the thing in the hospital.

I was seeing things that my family couldn't see in my house, and I'd tell them. And they thought I was going nuts. They thought I was still on drugs, but I had completely gotten off all that.

My wife and kids would film me talking about what I'd see in the house. This little being. It would be about this tall. Looked like Gazoo, you might say, from Fred Flintstone. He could hover in the house. And I began to wonder, am I going crazy? Am I seeing things?

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It was always positive about healing and reinforcement that I was going to be all right, because I'd just come through near death. And that eventually faded away after a few months, and I stopped seeing it. But it was always there, and it was very real to me. And it later showed up after the 2007 incident. This was in 2004 and 2005. Mm-hmm.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
In 07, when this thing happened, I'll tell you something else too. This was really weird. In 05, we were forced to move because we'd sold out and lost everything, moving from a big house to a mobile home. We were having Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's. We built the new house or the mobile home. Restored it. It was an old one I had as a rental property.

I moved it on their lot next door, out in the country, beside Mom and Dad. It was Thanksgiving Day night, and my whole family was there, from sisters to everybody, right?

Before we even put it there, there is a football field-long glowing cigar, maybe 200 feet above the lot, right over top of the trees. And it was barely moving.

It was gleaming so bright. It had something on, but it looked like the outer layer of it was just glossy, gleaming, brilliant.

I didn't see any hair. It just, there's just so much gleaming there, it's hard to get the detail, the brightness of this thing standing four feet away.

Well, I didn't really speak other than I surrender. I'm sorry. I don't mean you any harm. And it's telling me this in my head.

And that's why immediately when I reported it, I knew it was the same angelic beings, but it didn't look like this little being I'd seen two years prior.

In October. This was in January when it happened. Ten months later, October, I saw on the television a show called UFO Files. And there was this Stanton Freeman, a physicist on there, and he's talking about UFOs. I'd never seen any of those shows before. And it come across, report your sighting to MUFON. So I quickly got their email address and I wrote them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It's the Mutual UFO Network. It's a data investigation thing that people report sightings to. And a pretty big outfit, international, right? So that's the go-to. If you have a sighting, you go to MUFON. I had never heard of it until I saw it on TV. So I made the report. And I was so afraid to send it that I didn't send it for two weeks because I just knew if I did, I'd lose my family.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I was told never to talk about it again. Well, I didn't know what happened to me for four hours. If I tried to think about it, I would pass out. My family would see it. If you sort of questioned me and I tried to think, I'd pass out. And so I sent it two weeks later. It was the 13th of October. And immediately they wrote me back, oh, we want to talk to you. Well, I got scared.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I said, no, this is too real now. I don't want to lose my family. So I told them no. I just wanted to report it, but I don't want to interview. January comes along. They write me again. We're going to close the case, but we really want to talk to you. By then, it's been a year now, I can't function. My head had some kind of block, and I couldn't think at all. And so I said, okay.

And in February, they sent a guy from, a local investigator from Raleigh, North Carolina, and he came in there. And that's when my wife said, you ever heard of, what do you know about shadow beings? And now we'd never talked about the UFO thing, but she'd been seeing these in the house and got shoved a couple of times just to get her attention. I was praying every day, Lord, let her see it.

And she looked at me and said, don't ever pray for me like that again. So, but it was in the house. It was interacting with the kids, orbs over the house, outside. But I could never share it with anyone except my immediate family.

My three, four children. My daughter, she was 10 years old then. Ryan was 13. Jeremy, he was 15. Christian was 17. Emily, she's the only girl. He's the baby. And now they're being told by the church, your dad is dealing with demons. Well... And they didn't want to believe it because they were seeing it with me. So it was a horrible place to be when the whole community come down on us there.

And it continued for five years. But what happened was, The community didn't let up. The church didn't let up. And I don't mean just my wife's side, but all the churches around, even the original ones, the people were talking. And the boys that were with me, their children were catching a fit. Let me back up.

First off, he wanted to know about that little glowing being with the triangle on his chest. When he first came, his mission, he told us, my mission was to debunk you.

the FAA to knocking on every door in that community out there asking, did you see something? And he found out that eight other people that night all witnessed it fly over their houses and stuff.

He would come and entertain my kids more than he would me, because they were just that kind of guy. And so... All throughout the five years after the event happened, Hal was the one there. There were other military people calling from the Air Force, sending letters, wanting me to interview, wanting me to draw pictures and all this stuff, and I would just stay away from it.

I was still scared of Hal. I didn't know who this guy was yet. It was just five years into it. But my kids loved them, but I'm still who it is. And so in 2012, at Easter of 2012, this is when everything changed. This is really what got the U.S. government knocking on my door. This is why I'm here today. 2012, Saturday night, Easter.

They went and called back. They knew better. But it was really my little girl coming home crying from people picking on her. So I walked outside that night. And I remember I had this desire to tell it to everybody. I had to tell it. It was like the Richard Dreyfuss Close Encounters thing.

So I walked outside that night at 9.30 and I looked up to the sky and I said, thank you for ruining my life, my children. I said, thank you for healing me and proving to my family that you're real, but this life is worse off now for my whole family. I'm better physically, but now my family is in shambles, all because of me. And I shouted it to the heavens. And I see these things. They're coming.

These orbs are always around. And I knew it hurt me. I knew it was. So I went to bed. 3 o'clock in the morning, I hear the same voice, the same little being that spoke to me. She said, I'm here to help you, not hurt you. I heard that same voice, and it sounded like a man, really deep. And it said, arise. That's all I heard, that quick word, arise. And it was so deep.

It was like thunder in my room. I jumped up from laying in the bed, dead asleep, to sitting up in my bed, and it's dark. I can't see. And there was three o'clock on my, back then we had an alarm clock and it said 3 a.m. Next thing I know, I see movement in the room. Whatever they did to me, it caused me to get dressed and fall out the door.

Now I'm outside and I'm walking towards my dog kennel at 3 o'clock in the morning, fully dressed, clothes, from being asleep. And suddenly this figure hands me something. As far out as it sounds, I'm telling you, it sounds crazy. And it took me two weeks to tell it because they all labeled me crazy. And I stopped talking about it. Now five years later, this happens again.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And what happened was it handed me this object, and it felt like a living creature, like a squirrel maybe or something that size, but I couldn't see or feel legs or a head. It felt just like a tube of furry and kind of prickly. And it handed it to me and said, you must keep this. Immediately I dropped it because I didn't know what it was, and it was prickly. And his words came again.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
No, you must pick this up. You must keep this. So I reached down to pick it up. When I did, this being that was standing there is now gone. And I'm at the dog kennel, so I'm juggling it in my hand. I know I need to... to see what this thing is. It's dark, so I opened the kennel and put it in and closed the door. And the very second I did that, this blast of air come directed.

It wasn't in the woods and around us. It was right straight in front of me. A blast of air hits me and blew me over, the wind. Later on, I understood the Holy Spirit. The word spirit means the wind. The Holy Spirit means the breath of God. So I had to put this in there. But it was the wind, a physical force blew me over.

When I locked the door or closed the door, now a blast of air next to the woods hits me, and out of that wind, when the wind hit me and blew me over, with that wind was a translucent cow or bull, a big one, went over me, and it didn't hurt me. But I could see it clearly. I could see the stars inside. This is really strange because I just— It's definitely strange.

I'll get back to this in a minute, right? of something I just saw, discovered, with a guy that studies Egypt, Dr. Robert Grant. He discovered that bull inside the king's chamber. There's never been an inscription in that pyramid, nowhere. So he goes in with LIDAR and there's that bull, celestial bull, with stars inside of it. He and I just worked this thing out. He'd seen it. He shared it with me.

And when I told him what happened to me, he got some other clues out of that. But it was exactly what I saw. But now listen, when the bull went over, I land on my back and I'm getting up the run. So I roll over. Now I'm looking this way. And behind me, there's no cow anymore. There's a woman there. She's about three feet off the ground. She's glowing to the color of the moon.

There's a circle of light on the ground. And she looks at me and she says, you know why I'm here? And I knew I was crushed, basically, because I'd had this overwhelming desire to tell the world what I'd seen. And then that night, I cursed at the heavens and said, I'm never doing that. I'll never speak again. And now she's like, you know why I'm here. This is your burden you must bear.

She said that. She said, if you'll tell this story, I'll always be with you. I'll allow you to share our presence with others and film us. So help me.

I've been asked that a million times. I don't know. It was like a living creature. It was living. It was moving around? But it had no head or legs.

Well, that got the attention of government. And, you know, Hal was there. And now this other player from NASA wants to come see this tree. And he codenames the dragon. He runs all the launches for NASA.

It had bled me of all life savings, 20 years worth of work. And my disease that I had been fighting since 25 years old, 26, Crohn's, got worse. And it got worse and real worse to the point that we sold the company. I couldn't even get out of bed. Oh, man. I was that sick. And so I'd never thought about a UFO.

He's the head guy. He's the National Reconnaissance Office. So that got me involved with the NRA. Next thing, I'm in Cape Canaveral sitting with these guys, half a dozen of them. And that expands into a whole lot more. Now I'm dealing with two people from NASA. And this gets into medical study, stem cell research, and that happened a year later. And I'll tell you what got me there.

Here's really what got the attention of the government. They heard about the tree. They all wanted to come see it, and they started. But I get a phone call in early Easter, Easter of 2013. I write about the whole experience in my book. I have experience with the lady again. Two weeks later, this journalist comes from Canada, calls me, I want to come see that burning tree. He'd heard about it.

He's heading to Florida, so he stops following the way, although right along 95, stays the night, goes to Florida, and he comes back, comes again, wants to see more of the tree and get more story. So my kids are all home. It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon. He drives up in the driveway. He pulls up, gets out with his camera. No clothes, no bags. He just gets out.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
He wants to go see this tree and film it before dark. He's out there at the tree. I'm with him. There's a Labrador. My dog, Nellie, a little grown female Labrador, laying there beside us. Everywhere I'd walk, she'd walk. We get back to the house. We stopped just short of the door. And Nellie stops, and she's laying there, and Grant and I are talking, you know, just glad to see one another.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I'm like, you want to stay tonight? I get kids to get your bags. And they were all out there. There was six or eight more people outside. He said, yeah, I'd love that. So he's between me and the back door. The house is open. The back door is open. The windows, it was in May. It was May the 11th or May the 5th. It was only two weeks after Easter.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Nellie stands up and starts toward the door when Grant turns. And when she walks by him, I see blood come out of her neck. And it shot way out, like a stream of blood. And it's like I'm freaked out. And Grant saw it. And she sprayed blood all over his pants when she went by. And she ran in the back door, bleeding. bleeding all over the floor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I ran and tackled her and took her outside and laid her on the concrete. And I was going through my head, oh my God, and Grant's filming this from above. And all my kids were gathered around and she's got a hole inside of her neck, crossed her jugular vein that long. And I could stick my finger in it that deep and blood just shooting out in a heartbeat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I had my hand on it, blood coming up through my fingers there. And I knew, I knew she was going to die. They were 30 minutes from a vet, way out in the country. No ambulance, couldn't call an ambulance. I went through all this in my head. I said, she's going to die. And everybody's freaked out. And I just looked up to the heavens. I said, Lord, help her. She went limp.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so I picked my hand up, and that hole was gone. Everybody saw it. It disappeared perfectly like nothing had happened. She stood up, waggled her tail, and walked away. He filmed it all. And it didn't take long that word got out. Next thing, I get a call from somebody connected to CIA. And he says, what are you doing this week? What are you doing tomorrow? I said, this is 2014.

I said, it's July 4th. It's Friday. Today's the second. My kids are coming home from college. We're going to have a party, you know, for the family. He said, well, I need you in D.C., I said, DC?

I was too busy raising children and building all these houses and dealing with the... Now I'm in depression. I'm sick. I'm in the restroom 25 times or 20 times a day. And it was...

In fact, Barack Obama gave him his make a wish, and we have all the photos of him shaking Barack Obama's hand. Michael Morrell, deputy director of the CIA, put him in his book, wrote about him. So you can imagine this young boy is in the midst of all these power brokers in Washington. And his mom's a doctor, his grandpa's a cardiologist in New York, and they were out of options.

At least we had tried something UFO guy that healed a dog to help this child. So I was terrified. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I was praying silently while I'm sitting here in front of this little boy. He's got a feeding tube and they're telling us he's not going to live another year. And I'm with his mom and dad and him. And I Prayed all night, Lord, help me.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
What do I do? So I stayed to 1 o'clock that morning. And this child had mitochondrial DNA disease, meaning he could never eat. If he ate food, he threw it up profusely. He couldn't make nutrients from the food, so he was dying. And once they get the feeding tube, it's over. Usually they're dead right away. And I stayed to 1 o'clock in the morning, and this child, It wasn't an audible voice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It was like this message came, this telepathic knowing. And it said, just hug him. So when I went to leave, I reached out and hugged him at 1 o'clock. His mom asked me to stay the night. And I said, no, I've got a hotel down. And the guy that brought me there, he's reading a book sitting in the back room. He stayed with me.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And 1 o'clock in the morning, his mom calls me and says, he's eating his second plate. And so... This was the next morning? That night at 1 o'clock, I left at 1.30. His mom called me and said he's eating two plates of food. 30 minutes later? Yeah. What's this kid's name? Well, to be respectful of the family, I'd rotate that off-camera, right? But his first name's Brandon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Yeah. He was at my house. I just spent... Last Memorial Day, Jim from the CIA, the deputy director, called me. Brandon's now 21 or 22 years old, and he's going off to exchange school overseas. And he'd never been away from home, right? And they wanted me to be with him before he left. And they told me, we know you're good for him, to be around him. But let me tell you another one. Now he's 13.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
When he turns 13, he's having a bar mitzvah. First time I've ever been in a Jewish celebration, right? It was the most amazing thing. This child has given a speech in this big church in New York City on 48th and Madison. We're in a basement, and everybody that's anybody, from the deputy director to the director of operations, the CIA, and all in between, were there.

A whole lot of important, 200 people at least. My son, Ryan, and they're out dancing on the floor and he's, you know, and I'm thinking back, all these people at home that's given me such a hard time.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I feel a person grab me on the shoulders and pulled me through the crowd and said, you got to help him. You got to help him. Well, at their table, this elderly man had passed out, bored, and was totally pale white. I mean, he was ghost white. All these people trying to revive him, trying to wake him up, couldn't do anything. He drug me through the crowd to him and said, you got to save him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I put a hand on each shoulder, and when I did, he went, and he stood up, sat up, and the whole room saw it. And so you can imagine what that did. And that was way back in 2014. And it has only gotten more involved with government from there, from senior service members.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
The man that you revived? I knew who he was. He was the father-in-law of one of the people that, the guy that actually took me to D.C. the first time to help that little boy. We were all invited to the party, right, to his bar mitzvah. And it was his brother-in-law that whatever happened to him, he was totally unconscious there. And so that set me on a path that I had no clue I'd be going down.

People, you know, suddenly I've got hundreds saying I'm sick, can you help me? And that's been the hardest thing for me to try to help people because I never intended it to be that way. And I don't know that I can do anything. In fact, I don't do anything. There's something greater than I. And I think it's when I think of the divine world, it just comes.

Dozens. Dozens of people. Every day. It's every day I can show you. Now, I just pray for them. If you know somebody that's sick, they might send me a photo now. And I just take the photo out and I hold it up to the heavens and I ask... The angels thought. I never pray to angels. I pray to God. And I ask for this help for this person. And I get these letters back. I'm a doctor, don't know.

And it goes for dogs. I had two last month, dogs. One was 16 years old and total kidney failure. And the doctors are like, we don't know what happened. They're putting it in their journals trying to figure out what happened. He's back completely functional kidneys and normal.

I've been private, Sean. I haven't shared this. In fact, I hate sharing this publicly because it's going to cause a whole lot more people to come. But it's still part of the story that tells the phenomenon with me, the experience with it. This is why I know it's from the divine world. It's not something with teeth and a ray gun coming here to get us. It's connected to our thoughts.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
It'll appear a lot when I ask it, and in front of me and you and others, not every time, but pretty much all the time. Sometimes 50, 70 orbs will appear. Sometimes it's a little fire that'll appear right beside me like a candle. I've seen it. I look over and, oh, my God, it's right there. And then it'll shoot off over my head. And a lot of people have seen this.

Rock stars, very big rock stars, without saying their names, have been to my house and have witnessed this up close and personal. Senior service members of the DIA.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Well, they wanted to study it, right? They wanted to see this for themselves. Because it's the most elusive thing in the world to walk out and look up at the heavens and ask something to come and all of a sudden hear these lights pop on and they come flying by you. So there's a lot of them wanting to see that and study it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Yeah. Yeah. I allow anybody that is, I couldn't allow just anybody because I'd be overrun with people. But at my personal house, I've had the heads of the people from NASA, people from the DIA, the DOD, the CIA. And I had three from Washington there last week, three guys, diplomats. that have experienced it with me.

I don't have permission, but, you know, Jim Simivan, everybody would research him. He's in my book. John Alexander. John was with me, 2015. In fact, the first chapter of my book, How I Met John, was... It was about the Pope. I'm out by the burning tree, and this lady from Wake Forest University, a scientist, was doing this investigation of this tree. And she has a spirit box, she called it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I'd never heard of such a thing. It makes this noise, and supposedly spirits come through it and talk. Well, she hands it to me. I'm leaning against the tree. And my wife and my niece and her and her assistant were there looking at me from about 10 feet away. And suddenly this voice comes through that box and said, Chris, the Pope's in danger. You must help. And it kept saying that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Well... I'd sold the business, right? And there for a year, there's a part there that it's in my book. I write about this leading up to that incident. I'd had this near-death experience in the hospital from being over-medicated from the medicine they were giving me. They weren't checking my... my vitals and my liver like they were supposed to. And I went into this toxic poisoning and unconscious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And multiple voices come in this thing. And it was saying my name. Call me by name. And so I sent that message to the very guy that was involved with the child in the beginning. He was my contact, right? And he's like, oh my, you need to be here tomorrow, next day. And so in a couple of days, I was at his house. And when I walked in the door, there was John Alexander. That's when I met him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And immediately we took a tour of Philadelphia, the Congress Hall. John got me into remote viewing. I started reliving this thing, and I began to give details about this couple of terrorists that wanted to explode a bomb on Congress Hall when the Pope was there. And they got the Secret Service involved, and they intercepted emails and calls and found this kid and arrested him. Sure did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And they shut the whole Ben Franklin Bridge down where people would come across. But that's just another notch. And that was the first chapter of my book about the Pope. And I've been investigated by them, by the Vatican.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Well... I was very sick at that time, 2017, with Crohn's. I'm not Crohn's, but rheumatoid. It had come on me. And I was on all this chemotherapy and these biologics. And so my professor friend, works with the Vatican, got permission to go in the Vatican archives. Well, my friend from NASA that I was working with from the NRO wanted to be a part, so he was allowed to go with her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Three of them went to the archives and when they were there, they were texting me and sending me pictures of angels coming out of the boards that are painted on the wall in the Vatican and a message from the Pope that he said, we know that there are angels. and that they don't mean you no harm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
But if you get too close to them, don't let them get too close because their energy can cause damage to your body. In fact, we know that St. Francis of Assisi had an orb get too close to him and zapped him and he died two years later from his wounds. And she said, we know for sure in today's lenses it was rheumatoid arthritis, the same thing you got.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so there's a lot of, I've got all the photos and stuff of that you can see. They had a ceremony in my honor. They put my picture in the Pope's picture at the entrance of the Vatican archives. They placed my picture between the books of Galileo and Copernicus in the archives to be there forever. So there's a whole lot that's going on from every angle throughout those years there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Yeah. So now you know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I've been asked that a million times. And I don't like to think I'm the one or any of that. I'm just a simple guy that had a miraculous experience that continues to this day. With all the government...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Yeah, and they all relate them back to biblical times. As far as anybody now, I haven't heard, but there probably are. But they always used, you know, St. Francis or these different

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
people throughout the bible that had these experiences with orbs and you know the reason nasa nasa wanted to go to be a part of that getting into archives they wanted to study levitate and saints how come it is a person can take off and fly to the village next door you know it really happens people levitate so there's more to this world than we we got blinders on we're blinded and uh

Well, I can tell you I had no clue until 2008 when MUFON came and did the Discovery Show. They actually sent a guy from Harvard, a trained psychiatrist that does hypnosis, and he hypnotized me first to say, we're removing this block, and then we're going to come back next week and find out what happened. So he did the first one, and immediately

And so now I've sold my business. because of all the crash and here I am sick, really bad sick. So I'm recovering from this disaster in 05. So we fast forward to 06 and about October of 06, I had gotten better enough that my dad convinced me to get out and try to work. And remember, I'd lost everything, everything. We were living in an 8,000-square-foot home on a golf course with a pool out back.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I could think about it and not pass out or have a excruciating headache. So what he did work. And then my wife and kids started for the next, it was about two weeks before they came. They were startled because when I'd go to bed, which always went pretty early, they'd be up till late.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I'd be yelling out in my sleep and screaming and talking, and they were in there filming me with cell phones and iPads while I'm doing this, saying stuff, weird stuff, like seeing beings on Mars and all kinds of weird stuff. So eventually, I began to remember some of what happened, not all, but what I can tell you, the full hours. While I was gone was a virtual tour.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I was inside a bubble, something that was solid that I could stand on, but I couldn't see the walls, but I could touch them. But I could see everything in every direction. And there were always three figures behind me that were shadowy, and they were narrating what I was seeing. And I saw North America from way up high. I saw the whole United States. And then I was taken to Egypt.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I saw the pyramids. And this Hathor's Temple, I saw that. The Spanx facing to the east. And then the lady comes back. The following year, after all this, this was in 2013, is when I really got that message from her. Because that's when I was asked by the Pentagon, by two Air Force generals, to put it in writing what she told me. And I did. And this was on a request from NASA, a friend at NASA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

So he come and got it and hand delivered it to these generals. And she told me that, she said that,

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
When the star of Regulus, she called it a red star, when you look at it, it looks blue, but she said when Regulus is red on the horizon in front of the gaze of the Spanx before daylight, so in other words, when it's sitting right on top of the horizon before the sun comes up, that that moment would mark a change in humanity's knowledge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And she showed me other things, war, us bombing Iran, us bombing Syria. And in them days, none of that had happened. So I put all that on this piece of paper. And now I've had so many write me back, oh, my God, you see they just bombed Iran or Iran just bombed us. You were right the whole time. And I did that in 2012.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so what they did was I gave them the date of 2026 because they took that celestial event and ran it through these machines that showed that exact alignment will happen in 2026 at Easter. What will happen? The star will, the alignment she told me about, that the star of Regulus would be on the horizon in front of the Sphinx at that moment. There'd be a new knowledge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Well, I had no idea if this was even possible, you know. But these astronomers run it through the machines and it comes out that that star is going to come up on the horizon in Easter of 2026. And from that point forward, they started remote viewing the state. Government did. And now you hear it all over TV. 2026, that's the big day. 2027, that year, something's going to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Armageddon, you hear it all over. You hear it on TV. If you study, I've heard even, well, I won't say names.

Well, you know Lou Elizondo, right? Lou's mentioned that date. A lot of people have.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I gave him the specific time. And it was with Robert Grant that I told him about this alignment and all. And he's like, oh, my God. He's been looking for this ruby, this little ruby you have to find and place it between the paws of the sphinx to make this event that he knows is going to happen in 2026. I said, Robert, it's not a ruby. It's the Star of Regulus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
He looks at me and says, oh, my God, that's the King's Star. So what's going to happen, I don't know. But I think it's possible that's the return of Christ. Yeah. Or the Lady and the whole heavenly host living with us, Jesus. That's the first time I've ever said that in my life publicly. You're the first. And a million people have asked me this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I think it's entirely possible that, because she told me, she told me this. She told me that when the suffering of man becomes too great, that they're going to stop it and they're going to snuff out the darkness. That's why the military and the government all want to know about this. Because they know it's real. They know this lady has been seen a million times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And when she comes, she's always warning of some big catastrophe. In the Native American world, they call her the white buffalo calf lady. And she would come warning about some tribe coming to kill everybody or some big event. It's in every culture that way. But I'm as, you know, I wish I knew more.

It's not any of that. It's a dark force. Because she told me, I'll tell you what she told me. This is what I put in writing part of it. She said, there are people in power.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I put this in writing in 2012. She said, there are people in power. And I'm not going to say where she focused my thoughts on that, but there's script in the book of Revelation to bring about Armageddon and the end of the world. They're doing it intentionally, and that's what she told me. And that's the very thing, the main meat of the whole message I sent to these generals.

It's the same here, my friend. We've been so excited, and... I'm just, I'm honored.

So it makes sense, right? Who is they? I don't know who they are. I think they're Satanists. I think they're people that worship the dark force. that don't care for humanity and human life. In fact, they're the total opposite of worship the devil. I don't know if there is a devil.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I think it's a very dark force that is living full of dark entities that feed on you parasitically, like they'd be non-physical. They shapeshift, they take your mind over, they make you do crazy things, they deceive you, make you kill somebody, go crazy. Where the angelic world are the physical beings, they can come in here and light. These beings are made of light.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
The dark force is a parasitic race, and whoever's aligned with that, is, according to the mother, the lady, is scripting the Book of Revelation. They don't want it to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I think it's the dark force. I think that they want to snuff out God. They don't want us to have God in the heart. Why do you think they did evolution? That's the biggest, dumbest thing I ever heard in my life, that every living thing comes from a mud puddle, and it can't happen. It's just not possible. It's a laugh. It's a joke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I knew I had one when I was 10. I just knew it. I knew something saved me because the doctor's like, you shouldn't have lived through this. If I showed you the hole in my back and it led in front of me right here, you'd be like, how did this happen? Is that close to my spinal column? I'm leaning over a bit. Is that close to the back of my head and directly in line with my heart?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And I knew the doctor told me, you're the luckiest guy in the world. And all I could think then was it wasn't luck. It was something protecting me. In fact, in my regression, 2008, if you heard the regression, they said, we were with you when you were 10 years old and we'll be with you right on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I do wholeheartedly. More today than I ever did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Yeah. More today than ever. And that's been a problem of censorship and kind of put me on the back burner and keeping me at bay publicly. Yeah. It really has.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
But I never told this message about what we just talked about until now because now I think it's the time to tell it. 12 years, 13 years, I've kept it secret. Only my family knew.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
If you thought you had to... It says in Michael, in that glorious and beautiful day, He's coming back to save us all.

Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I fear my children and these crazy people that just can't get a hold of whatever they're doing. I'm almost 63 years old. I've been through 11 or 12 presidents. And people my age and your age, but especially my age, everything that's happening now is completely... Not normal. And we all see writing on the wall. We all see the players, some of these players.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
There's a lot behind the scenes that we especially, you know, they're hidden, but we all see something ain't right. And there's got to be a cleansing. And the only thing that can change people is God. And the phenomenon can change you inside, but there ain't going to be no change of humanity without having some spiritual thing come in and change us from the inside out. And that's what's coming.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And there's nothing nobody can do about it. They can squeal and squirm and try to make it look negative and ugly all they want, but it's not going to stop what's coming, according to her. And in the book of Revelation, in the very last chapter, it says when the armies surround Israel on all four sides, that he's coming back to fight the battle and rid the world of evil.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And then there'll be a time of peace, a thousand years. And that's what the lady told me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I said a lot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
A whole lot. Eighteen years I've never told this. More than seventeen and a half years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Right. I'll get a lot of blowback from this, I promise you. I just hope the world that has been told it's the devil can wake the heck up and see that a little bit of heaven's coming here to help us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I would love to, yes, sir.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Just say the word and I'll be here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I promise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
There's a possibility there's both, but I haven't seen the other side a whole lot. all these years' experience has been with the phenomenon, I call it, is a spiritual thing. It's like magic. They appear out of nowhere. In fact, Tim Burchett made a quote, and I saved it. They believe that the... interdimensional world would be the angels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
And so if there might be some star cruiser coming from some planet some far away and stopping over to resupply and get some gas or something, right? But I can tell you there's not a reason in this world an alien would come down to the river where I'm crying out, God help me. Why would he even care? Why would he want to help me? Why would he help all these other people, even animals?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I think that the phenomenon or God or whoever knew that I'm the kind of person that would never back down. Never, ever. Look at Paul in the Bible. Look at all the apostles, every one of them. They knew what they knew and they went to death for it. They were boiled in oil and tortured and crucified and hung upside down and dismembered because they knew. Without a doubt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Paul, on the road to Damascus, it says, and a flash of light flashed around him and blinded him. It was an orb. The ball of light. And that's exactly what comes out of the sky and interacts or comes into my house or around us. It's just the light. And it answers the prayer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I pray to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
No, it's a thought. I don't have to say a word. I can think it, and they come. They're connected to our thoughts 100%. Yours do. They know your thoughts. They know all of us. In fact, I believe everybody has guardian angels, probably at least two. And I've been quoted saying there's 15 around me at all times. My kids are like, how do you know that, Dad?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
Because I constantly see there's about 15 of them that'll appear, and sometimes they do it all at once. So I think you have them. All you got to do is acknowledge it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis Trade Reaction
I want to hear that. I really do.

The Big Suey: WOOOOP!
I'm just grateful that Dwayne Wade spoke about this so publicly. Down here in Miami, obviously, Alonzo Mourning went through issues with his kidneys as well. And Dwayne Wade talked about Alonzo and all of this. And Alonzo still spends time being an advocate for people to get checked out. And Dwayne Wade here with another example of like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: WOOOOP!
We as men in particular are often kind of taught to kind of mask pain, whether that's emotionally or physically. And like him sort of saying, hey, I was going through some issues. So I went to the doctor and I wanted to get checked out and I found it necessary.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: WOOOOP!
And they found something that could have been deadly to me is, I think, going to make a huge impact on so many people who will now go get themselves checked out. So I thank him for that.

Hey friends, it's JerBear 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.

Yeah, that's right. It's the first All-Star selection for Tyler Hero, and it's a pretty amazing accomplishment for a guy who was... Brad! By people nationally and locally for the last several years as he was part of trade rumors every single offseason until this one. A few years ago, he went on a podcast and said that he was in should be considered in the same conversation. It was your podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: WOOOOP!
It was my podcast with Luca. trey and ja and everybody laughed at him you know they put it on inside the nba and and trolled him and to see him now as the only one of those guys in 2025 named an all-star that's not to say that's not saying he's luka don't i'm not saying he's lucas okay but to watch him play himself
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

into the conversation of all of these guys who he said were going to be all-stars has been really cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: WOOOOP!
And that was right after. Like, it was this quick ascension after the bubble and talking as if he was going to be the player that he's now become. That it took him a while to get here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: WOOOOP!
Maybe not, but to watch him turn into this guy that's been this efficient and in a season full of turmoil for the franchise, I think that's a part of it.

I love the dollar store. Okay, we got two. I haven't been to the dollar store in a bit, but I used to go with my grandma all the time, and it was specifically for the reason you mentioned, Dan, which was she loved a bargain.

We used to play bingo against each other with pennies, and so when I would win enough pennies, she would take me to the dollar store so that I could buy something. It was the best.

I mean, it snowed. One time I went in April and it snowed. So all you need to enjoy Chicago is to be there when the airport is open. And you will once again love that city. And what else? And the weather has to not suck.

Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Between Donovan Mitchell and Jason Tatum in the playoffs, who do you trust more? It's a crazy question because one of them has been to the finals and lost one and won one. Good. It's wild because he can have the bigger games, but I don't trust him individually to take those good shots every time. I feel like he's going to come up and chuck every once in a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
It's going to be like, hey, if I happen to be on, this is going to be great. If not, hey, I'm going to go five for 20. Somebody else pick me up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Yeah, and did he have two 50-point games in the bubble? Yeah. He hasn't replicated that outside.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
It depends on what type of players you have. I feel like with Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, and maybe them not actually getting along, it takes a taste of every round. And it happens to be that way, right? They had the finals lost and then finals and won. So I don't know. I think for certain teams like the Warriors, there were a second round loss and then two years later won a championship.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
So I think you need to experience once or twice. Once you get all the sort of... the nerves out about being at the bigger rounds. Because even as somebody covering it, like I covered the league starting in 2000. When I got to 2006, it was covering my first finals. Even I felt the pressure. I was like, this is a lot.

Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I want to ask this of Scal when we talk to him later, Brian Scalabrini, but do Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown hate each other? Are we going to go back after all these years and figure out this was a Kobe Shaq situation and neither of them liked each other and they could have won a lot more if they actually got along? Because I just get the sense that they can't stand each other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And I've read that a couple of times, but there's really nothing backing that up in terms of information.

I got called a coward and a traitor, Mike, because on Oddball, I just said that I could see both sides of P.K. Subban's argument. And I get that, you know, NHL looks pretty good right now compared to the NBA, especially after All-Star weekend. A coward and a traitor. Coward and a traitor.

Oh, wow. Michael thought he was a bigger star than Randy Moss. Phil Collins. But it is kind of crazy.

But this would be a more exciting one. David Stern will crawl out of the grave. I'm like, stop it. The two teams that I'm most afraid of in respective conferences is Milwaukee in the East because of Giannis. Yes. And now with Kuz, just another option there. Yeah. and Golden State in the West. Come to my side of the... I want to talk about Golden State. How is Steph Curry 36 years old, man?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Like, that's wild. He still looks like he's, you know, the baby-faced assassin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
That is wild. I've got him at 5'5". How tall is Phil Collins?

Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Tell me you didn't feel this deep down in your heart when Jimmy is sitting there drawing up a play in the huddle. You know it's exactly parroting something that Spoh has told them in the past. That's exactly right. And then it absolutely worked. I'm just like, dude, don't do it, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I mean, he pooped his pants. They said they did not ask him about it. Which means he pooped his pants.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
There it is. I think it just shows, by the way, the folks that they are trying to use or they had used in the past, even if you go to Jordan Poole, Otto Porter, you don't need to be that competent to be able to play with that group and have Steph sort of carry you. And obviously Jimmy is beyond competent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
He can have a bad day on that team and still win and have a comeback win against the Magic because of Steph. And he, unlike... There was nobody on that Heat team that he was constantly trying to set up, right? That's what's kind of funny, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
He's penetrating. Feisty, right? Oh, yeah. Tenacious. Definitely a passer. I mean, who has the all-time record for assist in a game? Scott Skiles. Doesn't he kind of look like Scott Skiles?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
Oh, he's a turnstile. Yeah? I mean, first of all, you can post him up, right? Sure. Absolutely. He's probably going to foul the heck out of you in the post and say he didn't. All short people do that.

Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
I think you could have dropped a better name right there. Ruben Boomshay Boomshay. Who did Randy Moss just dunk on? Oh, that was Ruben Boomshay Boomshay. Also, Georgetown, right? That's where they played?

Shaq always goes against the grain. It's a win-win situation for him. Because obviously if he's right, he's going to say, I saw it before everybody. And if he's wrong, nobody's going to remember. And it's Shaq. He does it all the time. He never said it on air. I think he said that Mavs were going to beat the Lakers in that game against Luka that first time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Everybody else was like, oh, of course the Lakers are going to win. They're not going to let him lose. And he just wanted to go the other way.

Well, they started off like 21 and two that year and had, you know, a good amount of health that they were, you know, probably LeBron called somebody called the healthiest team ever. But if you're trying to get me to say that about the Cavs this year, you got it. I'm going to say it. I think they're going to be in the finals. At the very least, I think they'll be in the finals.

All the elements are basically copying that Golden State team. And if you go to 2022, Kenny Atkinson was an assistant coach on that championship team with the Warriors. And he's a damn good coach. They have all the elements. And I'll say this. I sort of talked highly about it when they made that trade, but the trade for DeAndre Hunter I think is absolutely huge for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: It's Step-Dan Time
They're going to have stretches in their second unit with Ty Jerome and DeAndre Hunter where they expand the lead. They're going to do the same thing that Warriors team did where you brought in whatever Sean Livingston and Maurice Spates or whomever else. And Leandro Barbosa. And Leandro Barbosa and go on these crazy runs. I think Cleveland has all the elements and just need to stay healthy.

And now the SUI nominees for best back in my day! Packing! Unzipping a suitcase to a sea of packing cubes is as dispiriting as opening the fridge to find wall-to-wall Tupperware tubs. It's the illusion of efficiency. Somebody on a get-rich-quick bender invents something we don't need because they know that gullible trend-gobbling travelers would eat it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
So here come the packing cubes to my doorstep. The only zippered container I want in my suitcase is the old-fashioned friend with the charmingly unfortunate name, the toiletry bag. Packing a suitcase does not require science or a system, folks. I don't need a cube to organize me or save space. I stuffed three pair of underwear in one dress shoe and balls of socks and a coiled-up belt in the other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
I proudly underpack. Nobody packs light like me because nobody cares or knows if I wear the same pair of undies more than once. Nobody on the cruise ship is whispering, disparaging, hey, didn't that man over there wear that same dress shirt four days earlier? They care.

I went into a luggage store and asked for a large leather valise with a strap handle. Didn't have it. Carpet bags? He said no. I said, can I get a wooden steamer trunk? Nope, didn't have that either. I can't get the suitcase I want. At least let me pack it my way. No cubes allowed. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day. Hotel housekeeping. Maid service was a part of the deal.

You expected it. You returned to a welcoming pillowy duvet, a neat stack of fresh towels standing sentry at the ready, the end of the toilet roll folded in a V for no apparent reason whatsoever other than to make me feel cared for.

Marriott's policy varies by property, but housekeeping is mostly by request now, with rooms cleaned automatically only every sixth night. My hotel room after six days unattended would look like a team of frat boys had sardined in during Mardi Gras.

In my room, after six days without maid service, you'd find bedding on the floor, towels scattered like shrapnel, pizza boxes in the bathtub, empty Miller Lite bottles arranged across the room in neat triangles like bowling pins, and a lamp inexplicably in the refrigerator.

Hotels, if I'm paying you $429 to sleep in your room for a night, the least you can do, literally, the least you can do is keep that room clean. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day. Preboarding! Look, I know you get what you pay for.

You pay for a first class ticket and we folks who don't understand we have to do that walk of shame past the big spenders already quaffing red wine as we slog past slump shoulder to the 38th row.

The real loophole is that last part, others who need extra time or assistance. It's meant for the very elderly, perhaps, but this is where you see all manner of able-bodied solo travelers and people with imaginary anxieties and phobias all boarding for no good reason ahead of the rules following cattle in the back.

I suffer from lavabo tracero syndrome, related to a fear of being seated next to a rear cabin commode. I have a note from Dr. McGillicuddy. On Southwest, with no assigned seating, even if you pay extra to be in Group A, you're still watching the parade of the entitled flow into the cabin ahead of you. Half of any given flight is these pre-board scam artists.

Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
The pre-board message might as well just say, anyone who feels they are intrinsically better than other people may board now. Airlines, let your first class money bags in first. Fine. But don't make we proletariats suffer the added indignity of also waiting behind all of your club members and all those pathological fakers. Run a tighter ship.

Briefcases! If you were carrying a briefcase, you were a man or woman on a mission, sailing along city streets like the prow of a ship, walking cocksure as Tony Manero in the opening credits of Saturday Night Fever, and surely headed for a boardroom. Other pedestrians parted as you strode past, and in your wake said to themselves with an admiring nod, there goes a professional man. Now?

Now someone seen carrying a briefcase is about as common as a man wearing a Lincoln stovepipe or a woman in a Carmen Miranda fruit hat. The briefcase is on the endangered list headed for extinction. Now all you see are people sloughing slump-shouldered from carrying slovenly backpacks, the very lowest rung on the luggage ladder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
The only people who need to carry backpacks are students with textbooks in them, the original intended use, and folks ascending a trail on a hike. Why are you carrying a laptop in a backpack that's beneath the laptop? Demeaning. Not only the rising scourge of backpacks, soft shoulder bags and totes have killed the briefcase. The trend of more casual workplace environments has too.

Save that staple of Americana, the briefcase, before it's too late. Enjoy again the delight of that simple sound as those twin latches snap shut and then open to reveal who you are. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day. Clotheslines! Where'd they go? Gone with the wind. Or rather the gentle breeze that once caressed our washed garments to a state of sun-kissed dry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
The clothesline was nature's clothes dryer. Efficient, cost-free, and noise-free, but for the soothing riffle or soft snap of a bed sheet as a mild gust passed by. Nowadays, clothes are thrown into the behemoth maw of the electric dryer in the laundry room. Your clothes in a sodden ball, a wet clump as the dryer lumbers to life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
With great clatter and racket, the time-consuming dryer spends an hour banging and twisting and high-heating and over time shrinking your garments. It's textile torture. Meantime, the sun winks and the breeze tickles in the backyard where the clothesline once stood. Beyond the cost-saving and the quiet, mechanical dryers emit greenhouse gas emissions and increase fabric wear and tear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Best Back In My Day
The breeze doesn't. The clothesline also produces no static cling. or cloying perfume from fabric softeners and much less wrinkling as well. Make it a family project. Erect your own clothesline. The air fryer is all the rage. Why not the air dryer? The one waiting for you in the fresh air out back. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day. Water beds!

At its peak, almost 25% of all beds sold in America were flotation mattresses. Now it's barely 2%, and most of those are related to medical rehab. What happened? The waterbed was cool once, embraced first by hippies and the free-spirited free love movement before it caught on in the suburbs. Bomp, chicka, bomp, bomp, if you catch my drift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Baby! Unmistakably, there was a sexual element. Hugh Hefner in the prime of Playboy famously had a waterbed. The waterbed boom was starting just as the bomp, chicka, bomp, bomp was dawning in Greg Cody's life.

And he tried one out in his friend's off-campus apartment. Hated it. Don't get me wrong, I can sleep on anything. I've slept on a bed of nails. I don't need any bells or whistles. Don't need a foam memory bed that outlines my body like a victim at a crime scene. Don't need sleep number bed. Certainly don't need a water bed that to me was like trying to fall asleep or do anything else. Wink, wink.

This is where I'd usually say, bring back the waterbed. No, don't do it. You go ahead and ride the waves to sleep. I shall repose on the firm, dry land. Thank you.

I've got a lot of papers here. I'm a busy man. Adultery! Okay, let's be honest about something inherently dishonest. Adultery, infidelity, cheating, whatever you want to call it, was so much easier back before technology came along and ruined everything. Or rather, so I'd imagine the clandestine Casanovas would lament. Cheating was easy once.

You just had to make sure you weren't doing it around friends, neighbors, or co-workers. So if you lived in Mayberry, the two of you drove up to Mount Pilot, got a corner booth at the bar, then a room at the Notel Motel, and called it a night. You were blessedly incommunicado. There were no cell phones allowing any busybody snoop to record or photograph you. You were completely out of touch.

I'm going to say it point blank. The old Vegas was better. This used to be an exotic destination with a real mystique because it was the only place in America to legally bet on sport. You felt a little naughty coming here. Daring. I want to ride back to the Vegas of yore when Frank and Dean and Sammy played the smoke-filled cobra room at the Sands.

Frank under a sharp creased fedora, Dino with a scotch in one paw and a lit cigarette in the other. Sammy snapping his fingers even when there was no music. I want an all-you-can-eat buffet for $3.95. Diverticulitis be damned! Yeah! My own trio, the Hee Haw Three. We played Vegas concurrent with the Rat Pack, but we weren't as big. We were the Zagak Pack, but we had our following.

We invented the Vegas residency back then. We were the opening act for a while for Saul Anka, Paul's bitter older brother. I want that Vegas back.

Speaking of marriage, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Used to be true. It was the adulterer's capital. A man could bring his second family here. I never had a problem.

another day another hard-earned dollar that's what's going on I love the us talking football I love the text exchange where Billy is saying no rush and you respond well I feel like when you say no rush Stugatz is going to be late so thank you for that usually when he says no rush it means like we haven't located you yet and you're walking around somewhere so that's what I felt like that was
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
But then I was it was nice to see you respond so nicely and say, no, I'm sitting right here waiting for you to hurry the up. That was a nice touch. Well done. Well done. Well, thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, definitely sad. Like I'm feeling emptiness in my soul this whole week already. Right. I mean, it's like in phases. First off, it's like that first Thursday night. You're like, damn, like Thursday night. It's 17 weeks in a row. It was drinky, drinky, smoky, smoky in the barn on Thursday night. Now I don't get to do that. right? It's an end of an era.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And I do, I get sad when football season ends. There's definitely an adjustment period. Like there will be a part of me and it already hit me this week where I'm like, damn, we got three games left. I can't believe this. And then this week, even like, damn, there's no game on Saturday. Like what the hell am I supposed to do with myself on Saturday? And
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I am one that's like, yeah, I've been known to shed a tear when the football season's over because I'm just like, I can't believe it's over. And I get bothered by that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I usually cry. I can cry like sometimes like multiple times during a super bowl during the game. I'm pretty famous in my household for crying even before the game starts. Right. I definitely get emotional. Wow. It was my dream to play in the super bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It was my dream when your dad's Phil Sims. Yes. I also like sit there and I'm happy. I'm happy for these young guys who are like living their dreams. So like every year when they're in the tunnel or whatever, my kids look at me and they're like, are you crying, dad? Are you crying? Are you crying? Right. So I can definitely like I have moments.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It's not like I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm like, you know, happy tear trying to fight it back a little bit. Excited for the moment, what it means. And I just know how excited those young men are to be out there in that situation. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
billy what's that look what are you doing there it's fine okay i know i was gonna ask that like what does this cry look like it's gone i can't believe it no yeah yeah and then like at the end of the game it's not really a cry it's more just of like uh i can't believe it it's over just to be clear they're still drinky drinky smoky smoky just no football hmm Oh, of course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I mean, this is Chris Sims you're talking about. That's a part of my life. I have to do that. I mean, it's drinky, drinky, smoky, smoky only on the weekends. During the week, it's just smoky, smoky.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah. Yeah. I'm keeping my kids away from you. They're not ready for you three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yes. Yeah. I mean, you get to halftime in the Super Bowl and the halftime show gets over and you're like, damn, we only got a half a football left. And it's like, I'm going to have to start watching basketball here a little bit doing that. Right. You know, it's just it all starts to hit me. And then also like, oh, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
The Super Bowl here, that means like in two more weeks, I got to start the draft process. So I'm a little bit of that, too. I'm like, oh, my gosh, here comes the endless list of players and me sitting in front of a TV screen for the rest of the spring. So that all hits me, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, it doesn't. It never does end. But yet it's like a league year switchover. When you go to Indianapolis there at the end of February, you're really like, okay. You know, 2024 is done. It's 2025 now. Nobody's even talking about last year. We've moved on, and it's like you just wiped the slate clean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, well, he's got to fight that narrative. There's no doubt. I don't disagree with what you're saying there. And I don't think it's because of like, you know, what's different here is sometimes you have guys in that situation where you just feel like the moment's too big for them. They kind of choke, right? I don't get that with Lamar. I honestly think it's actually the opposite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
He wants it so bad that it's like he doesn't control his emotions in the way he plays the game, right? Where you want to be like, hey, the ball snapped bad. It's on the ground. Don't try to now someone's holding your leg. He's trying to 360 spin himself out of it and still make a play. right? Part of like playoff experience is like, Hey, this is playoff football. Every play matters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
A mistake could really lose the game. And we've seen Josh Allen is starting to learn that or has learned that like sometimes just let the other team beat themselves. We'll play clean football. They'll beat themselves and mess it up. And unfortunately that has been a big part of Lamar's playoff career. Lamar's So awesome. You see all the great plays he makes. I love him. He's incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I mean, he's one of the greatest players we've ever seen. There's no denying that. But the playoff trials and tribulations, the thing that bothers me more than anything about it is in his playoff losses, and this is where it's different than other guys and even Josh Allen. I would go Lamar was the quarterback on the team that was better in every loss. That's the more troubling thing, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
All these guys have losses in the playoffs for the most part, but like Josh Allen's losses were like, oh, well, yeah, it was the chiefs. They, they beat him. Oh yeah. Well, Cincinnati was really good. They outclassed them. There wasn't like, oh, like the bill should have won that game. They weren't in the class of the bangles. They were clearly the better football team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
These were, every game with Lamar, we're like, whoa, they were better than the Chiefs last year, but they decided not to run the ball, and he held the ball long a few times. This year, the same thing. You saw, I mean, the Bills couldn't stop the Ravens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They did whatever they wanted the whole night long, but the interception, the fumble, the Mark Andrews fumble, and then, of course, the two-point play. Yeah. Mark Andrews should have caught that ball, but Mark Andrews is making what? $10 million? Lamar's making what? $55 million? The guy that's five and a half times better, he's got to throw the ball on the money. That ball was late.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It was not thrown with the same pace. He made it as hard as it possibly could be. Both things can be true. Mark Andrews should have caught it, but Lamar Jackson definitely could have thrown a better ball in that instance. He made it as hard as possible for Mark Andrews.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, when the play happens and if you practiced it and you went back and if we got to see film with them and practice during the week. It was a great play. It was a great play designed by Todd Munkin, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They did an illegal pick play at the line of scrimmage, and it's one of those where, hey, you pick my guy, I turn around, and boom, the ball's on me right here, and I just turn up and score, right? If you go back and watch the replay, it's, wait, my guy got picked, I turn around, wait, the ball's still not here, wait, the ball's still not here. Lamar takes a hand off the ball and pump fakes it
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
for some reason which was not necessary and now Mark Andrews is like wait I'm running towards the sidelines oh no the ball's behind me hold on I'm big and huge and I have to turn my body oh no I'm very close to the sidelines now I need to make sure I stay in bounds oh no he threw me a ball where now I'm in front of the goal line I gotta worry about catching it and getting it back
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
over the goal line so we get the two points. So again, like I said, I'm not trying to give Mark Andrews a pass here. He needs to catch that. In his room, he was graded negatively. But in quarterback rooms I was ever in, you also as a quarterback would have been graded negatively for that throw as well. And that's where it definitely could have been better for the Ravens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's what I'm saying. That's the part of where Josh Allen has gone a different way here. Right. And that's where Lamar, I think, has to like Lamar. It can't be the greatest show on turf all the time. You're awesome. You're the man. You're going to make highlights. You don't need to make every play a highlight. Right. Sometimes like John Gruden used to say to me, don't make a bad play worse.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And that's where I feel like Josh Allen's found the Midas touch with that. But it's funny you're bringing that up because I was just bringing that up with Mike Florio when we were doing our podcast a little while ago. Because, yeah, that thought definitely went through his brain. You could see that. Everyone watching saw it and was like, oh, my God, Josh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's like Josh Allen over the head crap that we saw early in his career or whatever. But I think he's learned. And I think yesterday, you guys, I don't know if you saw this. You need to watch Josh Allen's press conference yesterday because he kind of alludes to, like – You know, like the Chiefs, they have a magic of they don't control the game, but they control the moment, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And that's how they win these games. You just go back to any big moment that's like, oh, here come the Chiefs. They're going to win this moment right here. And the Bills have kind of found that same magic, right? They do the same thing. They've won 12 out of their last 13. I'm not counting the last game of the year where they didn't play their starters, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They out-momented the king of moments, the Chiefs, in a head-to-head matchup. They also did it to the Lions, right? That's why I voted for Josh Allen to be the MVP. There were just more moments from them this year and him altogether. But either way, that's where it's the clash of the titans in this one. And the Bills...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
for the first time in Josh Allen's career, the Chiefs will not be able to play, we just got to stop Josh Allen defense. They will not. The Bills can run the ball. The Bills are going to win the battle up front. The Chiefs, for the first time ever, are going to have to worry about, damn, we got to worry about the Bills' old line and James Cook, or we're going to get steamrolled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And that changes things, let alone he has better support outside at receiver than he ever has before, too. And that's where I think it equals the – the scales on this one more than previous matchups.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I wouldn't be shocked. I don't think it's going to be, like, incredibly high scoring. I'm not expecting a shootout. That's what I would say. Right? I'm... I think I'm going bills 27, 24. So I'm just going to put that out there right now. Yeah, I'm going to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Um, but, but, but, uh, you know, would I be shocked with like, Oh, it's two teams that know each other so well that there's some stall stalling on the offensive side of the ball. And it's more of a game. Like you're saying 20 to 17, 23, 20. I wouldn't be surprised by that. I wouldn't at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
you know yeah and and like taking the old adage that i've heard tom brady and bill belichick talk about before yeah you know just play clean football and most times teams will beat themselves right right yes it's it's you know sometimes you don't have to go out there and win the game sometimes you can just sit there and go hey let's play our game and they'll it up and we'll still win Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
But that's where these teams are. They both do that. Both of these teams, they both kind of go, we'll be conservative. We'll feel it out. We'll just hang around because we think when it gets clutch time, we're clutcher than you. And that's where I think it's going to be awesome, because I think both teams have that belief that in a close game, they are going to find the way to win the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And of course, the Chiefs are the ultimate ones in that way. I'm going to go with the fact of like, hey, we've seen three peats almost happen, and it's always the rival team that is a thorn in their side, you know, that ends it, right? Whether that was like the, you know, the Giants –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
upsetting the 49ers in the 80s right yes or the Niners upsetting the Cowboys and doing that or and I know this wasn't a three-peat or like Peyton Manning and the Colts they were a thorn in the side of the Patriots and then they finally got over the hump I'm going to play that angle that this Bill's team's motivated ready to go and the Chiefs just are not quite as good as years past in my opinion as what we've seen do you think Lamar Jackson will ever win a Super Bowl
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Two quarterbacks. Here's what I did. Here's what I did. I factored in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, I think the worst thing, and I think you're saying it right. I'm going to say yes, but, man, it's going to be hard. I mean, yeah, Michael Jordan and the Chiefs are still there. They're there. They're not going anywhere. They're still one of the youngest teams in football. So that's sorry, everybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Sorry, everybody who looks for the sixth play of the game and go, oh, they called Robin the pastor in the sixth play of the game. That's why the Texans won the game. Like what? The chiefs are going to be here. Like what a bunch of bull that is. The sixth play of the game. I hit to the head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They go, that's what won the game against the clutches team we've seen in football for the last five or six years. They're down by 10 at every Superbowl and they come back and win, but we're going to go to the sixth play of the game ago that dictated it. Okay. Right. Like, that's how much people hate the Chiefs right now, but that's how f***ing good they are to get you to hate them that much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They're all bad calls. They're all bad calls. They're all out the whole f***ing year. They all suck. I mean, I grew up in an era where like my dad literally got his head knocked off by Reggie white every week. And now they're like, oh, fingernail to the eyebrow. You're ejected. Get out of here. That was attempted murder. Like, and I don't know, old school player likes the way the game's rep now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Right. Like that's consistent with what we saw all year. So like, I'm not, I've seen way worse than we saw that he got hit in the head, right? Like, boom, they call that, you know, the other one, he didn't even get hit at all, but the Texans launched at his head and put the crown of their helmet down. And when you do that to a national artifact, right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
As far as a national artifact and Patrick Mahomes. The NFL is not going to let these superstar quarterbacks let big defensive linemen headhunt them and knock them out and f*** up the whole playoffs in the NFL season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I mean, obviously surprised. I picked them to win. I think I was just surprised that the offense let them down. That was the surprise, right? We knew the offense had to carry the squad because of what the defense was, the injuries, all of that. And... For them and Jared Goff to probably play his worst game of his career as a Lion in that moment and then make some other stupid mistakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, that's what surprised me. I'll say this. At the end of the day, the Lions, I love their aggressive tactics and approach, but... This was a game where all that aggressive talk, and see, sometimes I just think some teams go into a game with a way they want to win the game instead of just evaluating the game and then going, wait, let's play this way now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
The aggressiveness came back to bite them in the ass. I mean, the interceptions, they were all aggressive. The in-cut pick six, there's four guys there. But they're, you know, they're being aggressive. Throw it in there. Oh, pick six. You know, oh, the post down the middle before halftime, right, to Jamison Williams. I mean, he took five hitches.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
He was like four seconds late to throw the ball, but he still threw it. Oh, we're being aggressive. Reverse pass with Jamison Williams, interception. We're being aggressive. You know, we're actually slowing them down on defense when we play normal defenses. But let's blitz and be aggressive. Oh, see it. Terry McCorn's gone. Whoa. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So that's where I was disappointed in Detroit is that they just didn't read the flow of the game. And they just were like, we're coming and being aggressive. And that's no matter what, that's what's going to happen. Okay. Well, you did that and you lost. And I just, you know, they don't need to be so aggressive all the time, I guess is what I'm saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
He does with like humbleness though, right? Like it's like a smile. I think he thinks, Hey, I'm as good as anybody. That's it. But he would probably give respect to Josh Allen and my homes and Jalen hurts for what they've done. And you know, I'm not those guys yet, but also totally would tell you like, Oh, do I believe I can beat them? Sure. Of course I do. Right. He's got that type of confidence.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
He's, he's amazing that way. And that's why it's like I don't look at this game. This will be the toughest environment he ever had to play in. And, of course, it's a good defense and all that. But I certainly am not like, oh, this is the week he falls apart. Not at all. He's incredible. They got an uphill battle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
He's going to have to be incredible in this football game to beat the Philadelphia Eagles. especially with the right guard being out in Cosme. Now that's one less good player to block Jalen Carter, who I'd say is incredible, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I worry about Washington not being able to run the ball, which then therefore is going to have to be Jaden Daniels surgically destroying the Eagles, which he might be able to do. But that's a tough task against that defense. They usually make you drive the field long, consistent drives. And within that, they make a play or two that mess everything up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And that's what you worry about with Jaden Daniels and Washington this Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Definitely. You feel good, too, because you go, wait, we're playing our best ball. And, yeah, the Eagles might be a better team, but they're not playing their best ball right now. They're not. And Jalen Hurts with the injury and then Jalen Hurts, I mean, the way he's played last two weeks, it's going to be hard for them to win the Super Bowl with the way he's playing. Right. Plain and simple.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They might be able to do it. They're that damn good, right? But they're certainly making it a whole lot riskier with the fact that the passing game is so nonexistent and not contributing to the football team. You know, like I said last week, with, with the Rams game, there was 131 plays in the game. I would say the Rams won 115 of them, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It's just when they lost them, it was 70 yards of the house or 50 yards of the house or 60 yards of the house. That was the big problem with the game, right? The Eagles are not playing their best, but maybe, you know, two weeks play off football. This is the week they get back on track and play their best ball. They're better than Washington. I'm going to pick them to win the ball game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I picked them 28, 17. But I am definitely nervous about the confidence, the way Jaden Daniels is playing, and the Jalen Hurts and passing offense and the way it looks not so good lately.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, yeah, no, but you're right. And then teams that get hot, there's belief. And when you have a quarterback like Jaden Daniels, I say this to Florio a lot, just like Mahomes or Brady back in New England,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
the the whole locker room believes because they go wait our quarterback can get us through anything right we might go down 10 nothing but he'll get us back in it you know we might we might blow him out we got him who knows right right right so they're all like chest out like yeah we feel good because we're hot and we got that guy at quarterback so watch out can you explain what that feels like for a team just to know that you're never out of a game because you have that guy I mean
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I never got to be... You never had that guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
No, I was never... He was with Brady, though, guys. He was with Brady. But I had one year of, like... I will say, one year, 2005, we went to the playoffs and we lost to the Washington football team in the wildcard round. We had... six or seven fourth quarter comebacks in that, that season. Right. And I can speak to, I don't know. I'm not saying I was looked at and they were like, oh, we got Sims.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It's captain clutch time. Watch out. But I know as a team, we were like, Hey, we've been doing it. Like we've been doing this all year. Let's go down the field and score right here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, he's there. All the nephews want to be on my team. They know I'm the Tom Brady of the backyard. They know that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I like it. I do. I mean, I'm an Aaron Glenn fan, one. I mean, Aaron Glenn, awesome defense of mine. the ability to communicate and lead men. I have no doubt about that. I've been around him a few times in my life. He's got that ability. All you could do is first off, Dan Campbell doesn't have anybody on his staff. That's not capable of doing that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So that's the one thing you got to know then with that defense and Aaron Glenn, I mean, this is the most talented defense he's ever coached. And like it, you know, I, I love it because The Jets run that Seattle scheme, and I like that scheme when you have really good talent, but there's not enough like game plan specific creativity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And as for as good as they are, they don't create a lot of chaos or turnovers ever when you play in that scheme. And that's where Aaron Glenn, as we saw with Detroit, he can create chaos and do a lot of different stuff and do things to teams that like are like, whoa, we didn't prepare for this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And that's an element I think he's going to bring to the Jets is going to make them a different football team. So Eddie knows how to handle the New York media. He's been there. He's done that. You know, he's been under Bill Parcells. He knows Dan Campbell. He's got that charisma. I think this is a good thing. And, of course, he played here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And that's always good to have a guy that you know knows the culture and wants best for the fan base and the organization.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That is exactly right. He's coming from a winning culture, so he's going to know that. The fact that he does want the job, right? I'm just, yeah, you're exactly right. That's a short list of people that are like, I want to deal with the Jets in that situation. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
but you know he's i think again that's where the playing history goes here he's got pride as a jet they drafted me right i had some good years here and all that he understands the jets fan base and their attitude so that's that is special to have a guy like that that wants the job and all that and i think he certainly can can bring some attitude back to the jets he's got decisions the team's good there's a lot of pieces on the roster you like
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
They're going to have to figure out the quarterback situation and where they want to go. But, yeah, I definitely like this Aaron Glenn hiring. We'll let you go in a second. What the f*** are the Cowboys doing? Good question. Do the Cowboys know?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I know. I don't know. And then it doesn't really seem like they had a plan or really envisioned this happening with Mike McCarthy. I mean, they blocked them from an interview with the bears. And then four days later, they were like, we don't want you anymore. All those again, show me that they didn't really know what was going to go on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And it kind of makes me feel like they felt like they were going to probably strong arm Mike McCarthy into some contract he didn't want. And he was like, nah, see you later. And they were like, whoa, what, what? Oh, well, Brian Schottenheimer, you want to be interviewed for being the coach of the team? I mean, I know none of it, none of it really excites me a whole lot right down there right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And you talk about a place where coaches who have options that are not going to want to go there. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
If your ex-quarterback who won three Super Bowls for that team is telling you that the owner takes away the power from the coach, then maybe we should listen to that quarterback who won three Super Bowls about the owner who takes away the power from the coach. And they've never been the same since Jimmy Johnson left the organization.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah. I don't know why I did that. I give Troy Aikman a lot of credit for saying that. I really do. No doubt. Because that's the truth of the matter. And yes, like it's hard. And I wouldn't think any coach that has options at all is going to want to go down there and have to. coach the team the way Jerry wants it coached. Right. And yeah, they, they gotta be feeling it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
You know, it just dawned on me that NFC use teams in the NFC championship game too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
It's kind of funny, actually. As a Giant fan, it's the 100th year anniversary, and it couldn't have been worse. Saquon Barkley leaves. He's awesome. Xavier McKinney leaves. He's awesome. The Giants absolutely suck, and the Commanders and the Eagles are in the NFC Championship game. Boom. That caps off the 100-year anniversary. But I don't know if I'm nostalgic because I grew up in the 80s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Even though I'm a Giants fan, I actually like the NFC East NFC championship game. I don't know what it is about it. It's like the old glory days. That's the way football is supposed to be. The NFC is supposed to dominate. So there's some part of me that's like a little bit proud of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yep, yep, yep. Thank you for reminding us of that. Maybe we'd be able to draft a quarterback if we didn't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Well, yeah, but yeah, I am. Because what happens with people like me is there's just too much personal stuff that goes in on my life with relationships and people I know in the NFL to where, yeah, I'm a big Giants fan, but Damn, as you know, I know some of these people, and I've known them for a long, long time. I love Saquon Barkley. I love him as a player. He's one of my favorite to watch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I couldn't be more of a fan of Saquon Berkeley, the person. I mean, I think you guys see it. It speaks for itself, right? He's he's like borderline perfect. I mean, he really is. He couldn't be cooler. He couldn't be more humble. He's respectful of the history of the game. He works hard as hell. Like I, I love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
And again, it's another thing of like along the Trevor Lawrence and what Billy's trying to say, like again, support system matters. Oh, you're on the sh**ty Giants? You don't look so good. Oh, you're on the good Eagles? Damn, are you the best running back that ever lived? Like, that's where it's gone. And we can't forget about that aspect of football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's the harsh reality of football is you can be awesome and be on a sh**ty team, and you will look like sh**ty, and that's what sucks about football at times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Knowing my dad, it did come into that. And, you know, he's like me, too, where there's a lot of personal relationships. But he would probably root for Washington over Philadelphia. That would be my guess, right? I mean, Philadelphia in my dad's heyday, literally the –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Dead quarterback, you know, dead weight on the quarterback rule was invented because of Reggie White doing it to my dad all the time. Right. And the Eagles were such a pain in the ass of the Giants, and they always had the Giants number. And the other side is that the Giants always had Washington's number.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
So like Washington was one of those rivals where we as growing up were always like, oh, yeah, they're good. That's cool. All the cute little Washington teams that are coming to town and we'll beat them and they'll be pissed off and we'll see him again later and do that. So it wasn't as personable with the Eagles where I was literally nervous for my dad's life when I would go to the games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
That's what I'm picking. I mean, again, I don't feel that, you know, I don't feel totally confident. I feel confident. I feel like that the Eagles will win the football game. It's the Chiefs, you know, Bills game. That's certainly a coin toss. But I'm going to say this is the year the Bills get over the hump and make it happen. All right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Yeah, let's do that. Let's like 100%. Let's do that. Really? Yeah. Wow. Last year you told us to f*** off. No. This year, let's do it. I had a lot of plans last year. Last year I had a lot of friends in town because Shanahan was in the Super Bowl. It was a busy week. It was crazy. This year I'll have a little more free time. So let's definitely pick out a night and we'll go out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
Let's have some drinks first and do all that and then we'll have a good dinner and have a good time. I'm thinking Wednesday night, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I can't do Wednesday night, though, because I have a pod that night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
I think we are doing a live show. I don't think it's been settled yet. It's to be determined. So then let's kick it to Tuesday night. Or we can maybe do it after the pod Wednesday night. I mean, it's not like I'm doing a seven-hour pod here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
But at the Super Bowl, we can find so many cooler guests than you. What? We're not going to go there. Billy, baby steps. We got a dinner, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
We'll have walk-on passerbyers that'll be a bigger deal than you at the Super Bowl that we'll bring on real quick. I mean, that's not even.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- A Real 300's Guy
All right, awesome. See you later. Steak dinner on Billy. Peace out, mofos.

We've done this on Mystery Crate. We've shamed Tony.

It's a good buddy of his and he's still giving him $15 for a haircut. This guy's losing money off of Tony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I bet it starts with a six. Is that too much? It's more than that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Did I net was one of those three? Yeah. It can't be 80. It was 70. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
I think that's a lot. Mine was 45 before tip. What do you tip there? Five or 10? Yeah, what do you tip? I recently picked it up from 15 to 20. Whoa. Yeah, I go 15. I gave 60 bucks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So you're like Ubaldo. But he has a month. I assume he rents a chair at a place, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Yeah. There's just no way when you text him that you're coming in, he sinks a little bit. I don't text him. Because he's just like, I'm going to make a little less money than it was. I'm a Primos guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Tony Collada, you'd send me. He's not saying it because Tony's price is nobody else's price. Tony doesn't want to say it because then everyone's going to go there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
But his rent has still gone up over the years. There's no way he's paying less than he was 10 years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
That implies, Mike, that some people use shaving cream for electrical razors.

The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
This is very exciting. And I know you were thinking like, oh, the tournament. I don't know if I'm into the tournament. So I got something. If you're looking to watch a little into the tournament, if you're looking to watch a little less yesterday, you could have because yesterday every single team that was winning at halftime went on to win the game. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So you could have just watched the first half yesterday and be like, all right, I know that this game's going to end.

Yeah. Yes, we have a bunch. Go to our social media. You can vote on all these. Watch all of our submissions. We had matchups yesterday. That voting is done. And today we will release the rest of our first round matchups. We will preview right here a one seed. We have Matt who's doing a great limited fake versus 16 seed Steven.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
So was that the 16th? That's a 16th. Who's the 16th? Billy and the committee did the rankings, but yeah, that's a strong 16th. That's a tough break.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Trent Williams! What he did with his face was definitely on brand for Dan. And that 16 seed's beep count. So he's the guy that tracks all the beep count. It's an A1 listener for us. So that's a... But we don't do, we're not going to rank you higher just because we know you to be a good listener. But we're alive. But it was a good video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: This IS Sports...
Don't we have alignment, though, that you should never ask who is the one seed in a one versus 16? We played a couple, like five seeds yesterday that were not that great. So I don't know. I don't know what's really happening here.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
this was this was ingenuity well no the show was not quite sharp in this form in hindsight it probably took a lot longer you know in my mind it only took us weeks to find some continuity on zoom but you know maybe if i listen back it took longer but it was just like our show in studio it's all about dan's comfort and then once dan kind of leaned into okay there's gonna be some talking over you know zoom's tough it's like hard when there's seven people trying to get in over zoom but i think once dan kind of just let go and realize that look people
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
happy to have content right now because it was at a time where some people weren't doing shows like we were one of the few shows that we barely skipped so i think people were just happy to have us and we were kind of just happy to be doing it because it was such a scary weird time like it was one of those things that once we got to years in with it because by the end we were doing it for multiple years on zoom we were cooking it was almost weird doing a show in studio because we got so good at it but yeah the first few months was definitely an adjustment
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
it was almost like nice like okay the world is completely shut down at least i can turn on zoom every morning and talk to my friends for a few hours it makes this odd time in the world feel kind of normal doing the show that was definitely the time when you had the most appreciation for what we did it was just like holy the world has stopped people's lives have been turned upside down and we were still able to do what we do so it was obviously a scary time but definitely a moment that made you feel appreciative of what you had

It's not only Matthews skates away from McDavid in that defensive spot. He had three scoring chances minutes earlier. So Matthews had, on both ends of the ice, a chance to do what McDavid did in his first chance in overtime. He got the puck, and he stuck it home top corner.

What I don't get. We're going to play this Marshan sound where he's going at the Kachuk brothers for giving them bulletin board material. Before we play the Marshan sound, did they guarantee victory? What is he talking about here? Was it the fights in the first game? I don't understand that, but he specifically says when you're running your mouth in the media.

Exhibition. Great exhibition. I mean, honestly, I felt better about USA losing when I saw how indifferent the, you know, they get their chance with the cup like they do with the Stanley Cup. They didn't care. Dude, the hockey players with Stanley Cup, they do a full lap around the arena.

It's like you can see them like, oh, my God, the Canadian guys with that trophy, they went like 10 feet, turned around, handed it to the next guy. No, no, no. I know I'm reaching here, but it did make me feel a little better about the loss.

How many times did Canada have to have too many men on the ice before they were going to call it? The puck was too close to the bench for them. They had it like there was multiple times where the announcers were like, that could have been too many men.

OK, so what does he not normally do? What's what's he doesn't do that normally on this day? What's going on? I understand we're always Thursday at eleven fifteen a.m. So why is he doing this now? I'm not normally.

Damn. Okay, so that's why you asked about maybe moving this back just a few minutes to get Billy involved, and I'm sorry. Yes, yes. I scheduled life today, so I have to do that. Sorry. It's been a while since you could schedule. Right. I know. It's been a long time since you could schedule life, man. Yeah, I'm ready for some.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But I will say this is like the last two days were the first like time I think the whole season where I was a little like, man, I'm, I'm worn out. Like I'm ready for a break and got next week off going to go on a little vacation. I'm looking forward to that to seeing some sun and hanging out in the ocean a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Well, an ass whooping. I mean, that's really what it is. There's no other way to break that down other than that. I mean, when we've talked about the offense and how good they are, the Philadelphia Eagles, they're simple. But then when you talk about the defense didn't have to blitz the whole game in the modern NFL era, that's insane. To play basically in the competitive part of the game
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
the same coverage, basically 65% of the time that tells you that they went in the game. Like we don't have to change anything. We think we're far superior than them and we're just going to do what we do. And there's nothing that'll be done. You know, there's nothing that they can do. to affect us. Now, where do you want to start?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
The big thing was their defense, the Eagles' defense and that Chiefs' offense. You know this. When you can rush with front four like that and dominate, even when the other team keeps in six and seven blockers, verse four, and you're still getting sacks on Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, it's a tough way to live, let alone there's no way to run the football either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
The Chiefs are one of those teams that take advantage of moments, right? We've talked about that. Are so good at situational football. And this was one of those games when he went back to film. It just always, no matter what the play was, somebody messed something up. They never played clean football. They never got in a rhythm. They didn't own the moments the Eagles did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And that, plus the Eagles being one of the best teams orchestrated teams I've seen in the free agency era, that leads to a 40-6 early fourth quarter lead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Yeah, I think that one, I think what we see too, and the Chiefs are an enigma. I mean, that's the thing too. The Chiefs, what they've done the last two years is odd. I've never really seen a team do what they do. Go to the Super Bowl without ever really dominating anybody throughout the full year, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
winning 15 games without really having one dominant win, that's odd for a team with that type of resume. Like we talked about last year, Mikey, I mean, I know you're with me on this. I never saw a team play C-plus and C-minus football and then just turn it on and go win the Super Bowl. So I think because of that and their ability to –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
win some of these clutch moments in these games, I think they might have just looked at their roster in a few spots and goes, oh, we'll get it done, or it's good enough. We're making it happen, right? But they finally ran into their kryptonite here. And I think it's more about not who to blame, but just that they need to improve their roster, obviously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And then I think that it gets double affected because the Eagles roster, you've heard me talk about it a lot, It's the best O-line in football. It's not close. It's the best D-line in football. It's not close. The best dual receivers, the best running back, top five tight end, awesome secondary, right? Good linebackers. They're a super team. They're as much as a super team you can get.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And then you look at the Chiefs on some plays and you go – Wait, their left guard is your left tackle. Oh, yeah. A Juju Smith-Schuster on the field with DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelsey. Is there a slower group than that in football when you put it on the field? And then you couple that with we can't pass work and we can't run. And Xavier Worthy is the only guy that can make a big play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And I just think they just got out totally outclassed, Mikey. Totally outclassed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Well, he's a top 10 quarterback for sure. And I usually do list them off and go, hey, he's a top 10 quarterback. Now, I know he's a good football player. I've had people this week like, is he an all-time great? No, he's not an all-time great just because he won a Super Bowl. No. So absolutely not. I don't think he should have been the MVP, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, Josh sweat, the defense was the store and the star of the game. They were up 24 to 10 in the game because the defense delivered two touchdowns for that basically. Right? So that's what I'm going to say. Jalen hurts is very good. I give him a lot of credit that he does a lot of good things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But again, at no point during the year, and now we can't swipe away like five and six weeks during the year where, you know, the passing game was limited and he didn't play that well. And we were questioning their offense. And now we're just going to forget that because he won the Superbowl and he's an all time great. No, he's a really damn good quarterback on an all time great team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And he did, he had a good day. There's no doubt about it. And the worst quarterbacks Worst quarterback performances have won the MVP before. So I want to state that I have no problem with him winning the MVP. But just like the Giants upsetting the Patriots in Super Bowl 42, Eli Manning won that MVP. No, the star of that day was the Giants D-line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
straight hand tuck somebody it was the greatest quarterback ever and the greatest offense ever and that's what won the game right and we're in this era in some way or somehow it's like the default mechanism is just always give the quarterback the award
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Uh, I, I don't, I don't, I don't disagree with that. I disagree with that game. I listened. I was wondering, I was wondering what you were clapping for with me there. They showed you on the screen. I was like, what's he clapping about? What am I saying? But now I understand. Yeah. I mean, again, it's, it's, it's look at what they do. I mean, really. All right. So here's the difference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And I've tried to explain this. When people play the Eagles, it's first, how do we deal with their own line? How do we deal with Saquon Barkley? Oh, no, they got two receivers on the outside that pose problems to us. And then it gets into, okay, let's talk about Jalen Hurts. That doesn't happen with any other great quarterbacks in football. That should just tell you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
When teams play the Bills, it's like the first three things out of their mouth, they're like Josh Allen, Josh Allen, and Josh Allen. The same with the Ravens. It's like Lamar, Lamar, Lamar. When you talk about teams that have to defend the Chiefs, they're like, well, we've got to confuse them pre-snap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And then the snap happens, and we've got to make sure he stays in the pocket because when he gets outside the pocket, he's impossible to stop. But then he gets outside of the pocket even when you try to stop him. So we've got to have a whole bunch of rules for when he gets outside of the pocket. And, you know, to your point, and that's what I'm saying, again –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Hurts gets the benefit of some of the easiest looks any quarterback will get in football. And then he has two unbelievable receivers on the outside. It's an incredible advantage. As I've said before, and you hear me say something, you put Josh Allen or Lamar or Mahomes or Joe Burrow on the Eagles, we don't need to play the season next year. It's over. They're going to the Super Bowl. They've won.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
They're going to blow everybody out. That's just the plain and simple fact of nature from me, at least. I guess I should say it's my opinion. And again, I don't think he's bad. He's damn good. I get that. But I can't over accentuate and explain how great this Eagles football team is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And to the lengths, the Chiefs had to change the way they play and do things just to try to stay in the game and make it competitive. And of course, they couldn't do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I get it. That defense let up five points, and he scored 38 with receivers you don't know. Yeah, but Jalen Hurts outplayed Mahomes two years ago. I know. And I'm telling you, right. And he blew a 10 point lead that he got a free pass with nobody else in football ever got a free pass of blowing a 10 point lead in the super bowl. But Jalen hurts did. I don't know why.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And I know, and then I know that Yes, you're talking about the great defense of the Chiefs. Yes, that gave up 35 points. And the great Mahomes with people playing receiver that, I mean, Kadarius, Tony, Juju Smith-Schuster, whoa, whoop-dee-doo, they scored 38. And that was all because of Mahomes. Against a defense that was better than that Chiefs defense that was on the field there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
The 85 Bears, that's what everybody told me that defense was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Last year, the 49ers, again, the defense was really good, don't get me wrong, but they were down, and it was the quarterback, again, with a cast of a rookie receiver, a tight end that's getting up there in age, and a bunch of other receivers we can't remember, but they won the Super Bowl because they just put the onus on their great quarterback. And that's the difference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
One guy, they went, you're so good, we're not going to help you as much because we think you can cover holes. The other guy is being a quarterback of a team that had zero holes. Zero. And in fact, if you talk to most teams, they would go, he's the hole. It's not a big hole, but he's the hole. That's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But again, when your hole is, oh, he's one of the 10 best out of his position in football, damn, that just tells you how good they are. That's all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I'm mad at people trying to tell me he's an all-time great now or he's the best quarterback in football. And that's what it is. It's the ultimate team sport. Stop. I've never heard Jim Plunkett won two Super Bowls in four years. I've never heard him mention he's an all-time great. He won two. He didn't lose one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
He didn't blow a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter with the better team on the field. That's all I'm saying. Again, Jalen Hurts is damn good. I don't want to take credit away from him. I get more about what I get mentioned on social media and those things. And yes, Jalen Hurts has improved in so many areas. And Jalen Hurts, what he did in the game the other day,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
was, yes, he took advantage of all opportunities. But I am also here to tell you the truth and to let you know that, yes, no, I know he throws the ball better. But again, like off your points, they weren't going, hey, let's make the game tough and throw for 105 yards, you know, in the middle of the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And let's play close games to the Carolina Panthers and a bunch of other teams beneath us because we don't want to throw successfully. Like, that's what you're kind of saying. And that's where I'm going to go, no, no, no, no, no, no. He didn't play well. They weren't playing well. We're not going to give him an excuse now because he played well in the Super Bowl and gets that. And he's damn good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
He took advantage of that. I'm also allowed to say that because of what his team is, he gets looks that other guys don't get. That's all I'm trying to say. And, yes, I'm sorry. I think Josh Sweat should have been the MVP. I'll never. Two and a half sacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
He's the reason Mahomes threw the second interception because he drove Joe Tooney basically up Mahomes' ass, and then he threw the ball as Tooney was going up his ass, and the ball got intercepted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
That's where I draw the line. He's got the legs. He's got the arm. He would have been there. Oh, yeah. Bo Nix, I don't know. That might have been a different challenge. I'd get you there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But no, I'd probably still take it. I would. I mean, Bo Nix could throw go routes to A.J. Brown and back shoulders to A.J. Brown. And then, you know, the defense would still score 14 points for Bo Nix. So, yeah, I don't know if I totally agree with you there, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Definitely. I don't think that's even, I mean, they're, they're, they're on next level stuff right now. It's crazy. I mean, they're drafts the last four or five years. I mean, they're insane. I know. It's not like they're picking good players. They're, they're picking great players. I just think of like one, I mean, Cooper to Jean and Quinn, y'all meant Mitchell from last year's first round.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Our staples, long time, we don't have to worry about those two positions in the secondary forever. And they're going to go to Pro Bowls and everything. They draft Jalen Carter two years ago. He's arguably the best defensive player in football, right? Nolan Smith, the defense end from Georgia in that same draft. He's already up there as one of the best defense ends in football. The whole line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, yes, he's amazing. And then they make the appropriate moves in free agency. Yes. to put them over the top. And, of course, that was Saquon Barkley. And that's the difference between the last Super Bowl and this Super Bowl is Saquon and the ripple effects put the Chiefs in even a more uncomfortable position like times three compared to the first Super Bowl matchup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And that's what, you know, ultimately led to their demise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
He is number nine quarterback. See, this is why you're a pain in the ass. I know. I think he's good. No, we always celebrate the quarterback. I'm not going to give him all the credit for the Super Bowl in the whole season now. See, that's where – this is the world we're in now. Wait, I saw two quarters of a game. They were up 24-0. 14 of which were for the defense, but the quarterback's amazing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
He carried the team there to the super bowl the whole year. And that's what makes my head blow off. That's where I'm like, what I come on. Like, he's good. He's damn good. He's not an all-time great. And he's not one of the five greatest quarterbacks in football right now. He is damn good. And they're going nowhere. Like they're going nowhere. They shouldn't have gone nowhere. Two years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, that in itself was a miracle demise or falling apart. But the way they're built, the assets they got to play with. Yeah. I mean, Stu Gatz, they got guys that like Milton Williams, their backup D tackle. Who's I mean, he's a backup for them. He's going to get like twenty three million a year. I mean, he's going to get twenty million a year. That's how good they are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
It's not only the talent they have as starters, it's the depth. Right. And I think we said this last week. If you made a super team between the Chiefs and the Eagles. You know, Mikey A, help me out. Who are we taking on the Chiefs? Mahomes, we're going to take Creed Humphrey, Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie. After that, we're going to start going, I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Oh, yeah, Joe Tooney at guard. That would probably be, and then it probably ends about right there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Maybe, I don't think you take Kelsey over Goddard. Now we're doing this to Kelsey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Right now? Right now? Right now, you're taking Goddard right now over Kelsey. I am.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Yeah, not surprised. I mean, it seemed like that. Now, I know Aaron flew up to New York and had a meeting with the higher ups in the organization. I thought that in itself was interesting because that at least showed me that, I don't know, was the Jets maybe kicking around the idea of keeping him or whatever? Or was it just to call him up to be like, we're moving on? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I don't really know, and I'll know that at some point here, but I haven't got the inside story there. So I don't know where that goes, but certainly not surprised. And we know, like, Rodgers comes with luggage right now. Yeah. He's not going to have a big market for him because a lot of the teams, one, yes, it's down to the end of his career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But two, a lot of people don't want to deal with the Aaron Rodgers traveling road show and his State of the Union addresses three times in the week. And I think that's going to hurt him. So it'll be slim pickings here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, I do think Aaron Rodgers could sit behind great pass protection and throw the ball to A.J. Brown. Yeah, I'm sorry. I do. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Fuentes, he's mad at you that you were right about something publicly on the screen once. It just drives him crazy. Thank you. And now you guys are going to slowly turn, like, all the Tua hate onto me, but Jalen Hurts, but it's all right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Sorry. I would say so. Again, I don't want to be disrespectful here, but yeah, it was a dominant performance like you saw. The biggest plays that Jalen Hurts hit or some of the ones he made with his legs, right? Those are the moments where you went, ooh, the Chiefs have a chance here to maybe get them off the field and do something, and he'd make a big scramble.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Those were some of the biggest plays of the day. All right. But, yeah, ultimately, it was an Eagles team that, on both sides of the ball, was just in a totally different class than the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Yeah, sure. Sure. I mean, you know, there's no doubt he's a selfless guy. He's he's definitely an incredible leader. But like you're trying to make it like like, oh, he just run the ball. And, you know, we'll we'll sweat it out against some of these teams because we don't we know I said run it. So let's not dominate. Let's keep it close. Cause I said, run it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And we'll just kind of eke out some of these games where we're in a totally different stratosphere than the other team. So I get that all of that. I understand it. But to me, these are like, these are urban legends again, and things that come out after the fact. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Oh, you're telling me they were like opting to sweat it out against the ass Jaguars in that football game because they said, let's run the ball. Let's not dominate them. Jalen said, run the ball. So let's keep it close because he said, run it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

See, and that's like, this is getting into like, you know, we're getting into the old Tom Brady era of like, he looked at a guy by the Gatorade bottle and they knew he was saying with his eyes, go out there and play better. So the defense played better because Brady looked at them by the Gatorade bottle and they knew he wanted them to raise their game. And that's where I started to go.

Oh my God, this bull that's out there. So yes, like I get, he said that, but you're still trying to justify a bunch of averageness with $50 million receivers and a $12 million tight end that they opted not to do that because he said, run the ball. And that's where I'll throw the challenge flag on you and say bull to God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, rookies are tough. Rookies are tough, right? Because they're just inexperienced. And that's where, you know. Will Levis. Will, no. I'm not going to give him that. Sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Yes. Keep going. Bryce Young. I am not going to say that. I'm not going to give Bryce that credit yet either. I'm not yet. Nope. I give it to Tua. I'm not going to give it to Bryce yet. I, you know, I know we saw four games at the end of the year and now we're ready to say that all things are good in Carolina, but I'm not going to go that far yet. I got it. Trevor Lawrence. You're funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, I'm like shocked a little bit. Yeah. I mean, Michael Parsons is the best defensive player in the NFL when healthy, right? If you made me pick one guy to start a team with, I'm either going Jalen Carter or Micah Parsons. But I think it might speak to, again, there's a lot of holes there in Dallas. There really is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And they got to pay – I mean, the highest defensive player in football, period. Like, that's where it should start. He's better than Nick Bosa. He should be paid higher than Nick Bosa. Are they going to be willing to pay, you know, Dak, C.D. Lamb, and Michael Parsons as, like, the, you know, top three highest at their position? That's tough to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And like we talked about, there's other needs there. So I don't know if this is, like, scare tactic – to try to get him to lower his asking price? Or is it real and they're going, we got a lot of issues with the team and this is our best asset and we can get a lot of stuff back for him. I don't know that yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Wow. That's a good deal. I mean, you're right. They might think about that. I mean, that would be game-changing on that side of the ball. I mean, no doubt about it. They have the money. They do have the money. You're right. I don't know if I see that as a Mike Vrabel type of move, right? Like, I don't look at him as that kind of guy, but it makes sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And Micah Parsons, just like Miles Garrett, everybody in football is going to look at their team and go, wait, would this make sense for us? Can we make this work except for a handful of teams? So I hear you there. And I'll be interested to see who comes after Micah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I would. I'd franchise him. I'd hope to get a long-term deal done with him. And then if not, you know, tag and trade. I think that's the way to go. I mean, the franchise tag number is beneath what he's worth as a receiver. So I think it's like a definite I would do that. The Bengals, hey, they got to figure it out. The Bengals want to be up there with the big boys in football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
But I go, wait, the way your salary is in your team, you have a very short list of high-paid quality football players. It's like the shortest in football. And I love their stars. They're not even paying them that well. Jamar Chase, we know, still hasn't gotten worked out. Trey Hendrickson, way below market value. These are like two of the three highest paid guys on the team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
We know Joe Burrow is really the only guy being paid market value for what he is. So the Bengals, a little bit like the Cowboys, like to drag their feet on these contract situations to the point where it gets the players out on the leverage instead of getting out in front of it like the Eagles do and go, damn, Devontae Smith is good. We don't need to get to the end of this contract.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Let's pay him now so we can, you know, maybe save some dollars. Oh, oh, you know, our all-pro left guard, Landon Dickerson, let's pay him now before he gets to free agency and we have to pay him a load of money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
And that's why the Eagles are the Eagles and some of the good teams, the Ravens, other teams, they get out in front of these things and the Bengals and Cowboys wait to the players as good as they could possibly be with the best leverage they could be. And then they go... Oh, we can't figure out a contract.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I would not. I don't think they're as far off as people realize. The O-line's pretty damn good. The D-line, when Derrick Brown is healthy, right, it's not bad either. They can use a few adjustments there. But I think you look at that and, like, wide receiver – Right. And just to get they got to get a few playmakers out there. I don't think they're far off to being competitive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I wouldn't like say next year's a playoff year, but I wouldn't call you crazy. I would almost look at it and go two years from now. Right. Watch out, Caroline. I think by then we get the roster in a spot that could be legit and a real, real playoff team. All right. Would you be surprised if the Patriots make it next year? Absolutely not. I mean, you know my thoughts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I mean, Vrabel's a guy that's capable of coaching a team that's less than and getting them to the playoffs. So, no, I would not be shocked with that quarterback, some of the moves they'll make this offseason, and the new culture there under Vrabel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I wouldn't be shocked if they were a team that exceeded expectations almost like a Denver Broncos did this year and sneak into the playoffs their first year when they shouldn't have. How about the Falcons? I certainly wouldn't be surprised there. I don't think the Falcons are far off at all. I mean, Michael Penix, I think, will make their offense more dangerous and explosive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
They need a pass rusher. Really, when you look at them, that's like the only thing they need. Maybe a pass rusher, maybe another corner, but they're close. They are really close. So I definitely wouldn't be shocked if Atlanta got in next year. Cowboys? Not shocking, but like, you know, I feel like it's lesser than Atlanta. I got to see things with Dallas. I mean, one, Dak coming off injury.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Two, who's the running back? Three, they don't really have a receiver on their roster that most people on the street know other than C.D. Lamb. The defense, we've been talking about their inability to stop the run for like five years now because of defensive tackles. So, no, I don't think it would be shocking if they got in, but again, I don't think I'd bet on it. I don't think they're there yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
No, absolutely not. You know, absolutely not. They're not in the same class. Now, they've been competitive against the Eagles, right? Because, hey, they're a division team and all that. But no, I think in totality, again, you heard me say it. This is an Eagles team that... I'd put up there with any team that we've seen in the modern-day free agency salary cap era.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Yeah, I would be shocked. I would. It's going to happen. They're a playoff team, but they got to change some things on their roster to become – like a dominant Super Bowl caliber team. It can't just be, hey, we're going to keep the game close, and we just believe when it's close, Mahomes will make magic and pull it through. That's kind of how they've lived the last few years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
It's just it's going to be hard to beat teams like the Lions, the Ravens, the Eagles and the way they're built right now playing that style of football. Who because those teams are also good at close games, yet they have a big time talent advantage. And that's where the Chiefs definitely got to make some adjustments to the roster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
They know who you are, right? My dad at an early age told me don't tip, over tip, right? he taught me a lot of these people that you got to tip are doing jobs that you don't want to do and be grateful for that. So I, yeah, I try to be, that's the one way I try to give back. I do. I'm the guy, I mean, I go around, yeah, I go around, I tip the guy that cuts my hair pretty good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I, I tip the woman that washes my hair before the haircut. Pretty good. Nice. Right. I'm, I'm, I'm one of those guys I am. And, uh, I try to help out in some way, somehow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
That's the last thing I want. That's one thing. Every now and then, they have a guy wash my hair, and I'm like, come on. All these girls around and I can't get one of them to wash my hair right now. I got to deal with some, you know, gross guy that probably had his fingers in his nose a few minutes ago. I don't want guys watching my hair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Exactly. Exactly right. Right. Exactly. I mean, I see too many guys that pull this move off right here. Put their hand. And then they slick their hair with it. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, you're disgusting. Get out of here. Yeah, I've done it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
You tip the person who washes your hair.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
At times, I think I am maybe too generous, and then I'm like, well, this is what they expect, so I got to keep doing that. That's what my wife sucks at me sometimes. She's like, you're a generous tipper already. Now when you leave a tip like that, they expect it every time. Yes. And, yeah, I'm kind of like a – When I go out to dinner and stuff like that, I probably tip like 35%, 40%.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I did. I did. I just figured, hey, I'm on TV. I'm going to spend a few extra dollars with...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
somebody i just trust a little bit more right it's part of the job you know barber i've had a mistake or two over the years when i've gotten to see the barber yeah where i just you know being on nbc i don't i don't want to trust that right now all right so it's a hundred dollar haircut right like it has to be at least It's a $100 haircut. It's a $100 haircut, and I'll be quite honest with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
Here you go. I give my hair cutter $40, and I give the woman that washes my hair $20.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
It might be bougie, but I've been fortunate in my life. I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth growing up under Big Phil, and I've been fortunate enough to where my life has gone. So I try to give back in those moments.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- If the season BEGAN today
I am probably just because I'll feel bad. And I'll probably be like, all right, well, there's soap in the shampoo, so his hand's not that dirty. But I might say something. You know me. I'm not scared to say something. Oh, I know. Like I have said to the guy a few times, like, damn, you got to wash my hair? I can't get one of these girls to do it? And they laughed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

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

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.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
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
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
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.

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.

So I just stuck it out with the show.

He's three for three. He really is. And the one that you could hold against him and we're wondering, really, should we enter this geopolitical situation? Number one hit. Number one hit. I do have an issue with him just strolling up and being a large font act. He's got one song. And he's going to play it like 17 times, and people will eat it up. But that's what music is right now.

Bad Bunny came out and he decided, you know what, let me just put on an album that has a couple classic merengue songs in there. A lot of it sounds like music from my childhood, and it's a return to, from two albums ago, really ambitious producing where there's so many juxtapositions within one song. I think Bad Bunny's an artist for all time, quite honestly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Archie Manning Vs. Lavar Ball
That's an album, you don't even need to understand the language to understand the ambition in the production. I think the world of Bad Bunny. I think he's a transcendent artist. We've only scratched the surface of what he's capable of, both within music and outside of music. And I listened to that album from the very first rotation. I'm like, this might be a second best album ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Archie Manning Vs. Lavar Ball
And that's rare on first rotation that you know you're listening to something special. Earworm after earworm. This guy is so special.

I think he can also look if you can do what he did from the jump in in the entertainment realm in inside a professional wrestling where he's English at the time is English has gotten a lot better was not his first language and you're essentially forcing this on a viewing audience that isn't that familiar with him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Archie Manning Vs. Lavar Ball
and for him to get over on his merit, on his charm, and his in-ring ability, I think that that can apply to all sorts of entertainment sectors. I think he can probably, if he really focuses his energy, become a major movie star. I think he's that charismatic. I think he's that likable, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Look, when you get to that size of superstardom, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, granted, usually more reserved for women, but also men, singular artists, don't really reach those levels. Drake does, and everyone's got something to say about Drake. Bad Bunny, consensus? What is there to hold against him? His Q rating's outstanding. No one has an issue with this guy. It's rare.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Archie Manning Vs. Lavar Ball
At the pandemic. He did the Triple H and he spat water everywhere and we're like, should we be doing this? Everybody lost their mind. And remember, for a full year, Bad Bunny was wearing a mask before the pandemic. And as the pandemic's about to, we're like, now's when you take off the mask?

Greg Cody has cheated the system because he owes a $10 fine from yesterday for his phone going off, and he just claimed that he was too old to figure Venmo out. When Venmo is super simple, we have to nip this in the bud before everyone starts pretending they don't know how to use Venmo because he owes $10. That is a pending balance.

In terms of a position of development and really putting in the work, getting your technique down, they tell me outside of quarterback, the one that you need the most development in is offensive line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That's the plan. As far as I can tell, the only thing that they're doing to address their really poor defense is bringing Al Golden.

Okie really fascinated with what's happening at Cincinnati. Because everyone's like, they have to do something about this defense. Now, in their defense, they did bring in Al Golden to run it. But they lose Hubbard. They're going to lose Hendrickson. They're losing their best players.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: As A Father...
They had to move... It seems as though the way that they're addressing their cap situation, and for whatever reason, with Cincinnati, outside of, well, I understand that they're cheap, but them and the New Orleans Saints, and the New Orleans Saints are on a seven-year delay for their malpractice when it came to the salary cap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: As A Father...
It's apparently only real for the New Orleans Saints, and Cincinnati immediately feeling the ramifications of that Joe Burrow deal, and they're going about how they're formatting their roster totally different than how people thought they would entering the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: As A Father...
And this is a team that, OK, we understand if this team had a shot, if they got in the playoffs, they would have a shot because they're so talented on offense. All they need is a little bit of defense and they're losing their best players on defense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

probably right on the interior line. De-tackle, like you're stunting, you're pulling, like guard and DT.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: As A Father...
That's technique, which is, I mean, difficult, but in terms of like drop a guy in. It's not like a DT is dropping back into coverage and also has to know coverages.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: As A Father...
That's about it. It's easier than running back. Because you also have pass blocking, blitz pickups. You have to identify what the defense is doing along with the quarterback and center.

Not as much as Sam Reinhardt. Sam Reinhardt looks like a panther. I'm telling you, pull up a picture of just Sam Reinhardt without, like, take his helmet off. I love when our friends mess up, huh? There's nothing better than our friends. What did I do earlier? Reinhardt. This is what Stephen A. Smith tweeted verbatim. I didn't want to have to address this.

Oh, I'm telling you, in the arena, it's perfect timing. Like, I know from our angle, this video. But he's doing it for the arena. I'm telling you, he did perfect. No, the fourth time, it was a little bit too fast. The rest of the time, it's perfect.

But I bet you, you're watching it from that angle. I bet in the arena that was a tad slow. I'm telling you because there's a delay with the claps. You need to be a little ahead. I'm telling you, I'm a four year season ticket holder. I know this. You're getting to this. It's like your third drum you've ever heard. I've heard I've heard dozens of these things.

You're saying they had TV shows. You just gave Dan all this credit. It's like he has a podcast. I'm just saying, what's the difference between Dan and what Jerry Springer did? 20 years. How long did Jerry Springer go? Take the under. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
I think we can meet in the middle on this. I'm not saying let's call Dan a genius and Springer's not. You know who is a genius? Me. 31 season long run.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
Oh, that it's going to go back to Canelo, Paul? No. Where Jake pitches to Canelo, all right, we're never actually going to fight. Yeah. Let's announce we're going to fight. Yeah. And then you cancel it. No. Just to get me in the news. Just so people think you would have fought me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
Honestly, the Pauls are so good at marketing that I don't want to put that past them. I'm doing something like that. Where Canelo says, look, Jake, I'm never fighting you. But just for pub, I might tease it a little bit. I'll give you one day. One day.

Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them. Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff.

Oh, okay. So as I understood it, that makes sense. I assume that we say Lamar Jackson because that's the name that we know and that he is the one on the case. But my guess is Lamar Jackson isn't keeping an eye on the trademark office and trying to jump on all these things. Maybe. His team, I would assume, right? No, I wouldn't assume.

It was just in a hallway. It wasn't a big house, so you come in and then there's a hallway to get to the back rooms. Of casket pictures. Yeah, it's a hallway of caskets. In Polaroids.

He was getting a haircut. I know. Why does he look so fresh? I mean, I think the idea is anytime I've ever, like I'm not late often, but anytime I've ever been late, I start breathing hard.

Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Yeah, like I come in, and even if I'm not out of breath, I start breathing hard to demonstrate to them I feel like it's a show of respect. It's like, I'm sorry, man. I tried. I ran three blocks. No excuses. I'm accountable. This is on me. This is on me. But I would like them to know that, like, I ain't wanted to be like this.

Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Yeah, it's crossed your mind. You're not at the top of the roster? What? I definitely would have considered in the past.

If you're young enough that it matters. No, no, no.

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.

So wherever you are, if you're hanging out with friends or at the bar, call the shots.

I don't know how much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
I don't know how much of this got on to the broadcast. But there were so many times. You think they had to, like, make the call?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
I was at the game, so I asked Jeremy this morning how much of it was on, and so he named a few incidences, and then I said, what about this one? And Jeremy was like, nope, they ain't see that one. After the game, after he hit the game winner, he ran and celebrated. He did the conversation or did the interview with Taylor Rooks. And after that. He gave the hand blicky. He brought it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
It was the big one. It was the big one. It was the two-hander. And just. And that one didn't make it. Dang, man. It was wild. You know who else was at the game? Amin El Hassan. You remember yesterday when Mr. Amin El-Hassan told us all, I don't use an alarm clock because I don't need it. I don't get hangovers. I'm just built different.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
I knew that was bullshit when I started to think about how clearly, clearly your body don't listen to you the way that you think it do because I seen you shoot a jumper. But as you guys can see... There's an empty chair. Oh, that's the jumpers up again. Let me see that jumper. Let me see. There's no way that that man doesn't need an alarm clock. If your hands don't listen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
I don't get the joke on this. No, the funny part is I've been to Cleveland. Whole bunch of places. Yeah, we went somewhere else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Cheers with ice cold shots of Jägermeister. Damn, that's cold. And remember to check Jägermeister out at DraftKingsXJägermeister.com. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S. White Plains, New York. Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
He's like, no, I don't have it. I have one more clip. Let's play one more clip here. This is one of those stupidly masculine things where you take pride in something that's irrelevant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
It's 100% irrelevant. I don't know. You put it on the poll.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Bam. That's what I was going to say. In these drinking streets, the guy who's like, I never have a hangover, he wakes up, pops one. He wakes up and pops one. Call hair the dog, Dominic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Those are the people who don't have hangovers. They always seem to smell a little bit like. It never came down. That's the problem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
All I know, can we bring in Fuentes? Oh, man, what a dream for him. I would like him to tell me. There's a method to my madness, though. Okay, what's the method to your madness?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Oh, we going there? Amin has gone there. It's what Amin says all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
We know he's not dead. He was staying here, and the Kaseya Center is across the street. It's a block away.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
So, all right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Someone needs to check on him. Someone needs to go to the front desk and find out what room he's in and go get that thing a rat-a-tat-tat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
So we have, I believe, and I'm like, this is not my domain, but the way that it's been explained to me is... We got a meeting in the morning that starts around Lamar clock, Lamar 30, right? So I show up to this meeting, and Amin's not here, but he never really is here for that meeting. Amin shows up for kickoff. He is right there. He runs onto the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Yeah. He boobie mouses it. I wasn't concerned, but... Now I'm starting to get a little concerned. So send that text. I think I would like to. Can we get Jeremy back in the room at some point? Because he's out there. Because I found another story pretty interesting this weekend. There's a couple things that I wanted to, or not this weekend. This morning, a couple things I want to talk about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
I want to talk a little bit about the basketball game last night because I like the heat, man. They lost, but Kalel Ware. You like the heat, huh? Yeah, I like them. I like them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
But also, I put Jeremy on the case because there was a ridiculous headline this morning. for Lamar Jackson is trying to sue for the number eight in all its forms. And I was like, this can't be right. So I asked Jeremy if he had a second to go ahead and read through the case to make sure that we aren't mischaracterizing what Lamar Jackson was doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Because everyone was taking a shot at my man Lamar this morning. Like, this is ridiculous. He's trying to take eight from Dale Earnhardt and Troy Aikman. Lamar Jackson is a monster. And so I just wanted to make sure that Jeremy was here to understand all the details of the case because I didn't have time to read the entire case because I was busy worrying about Amin or actually laughing about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Please be all right, Amin. This would all be terrible if something's actually wrong with him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
We don't know anything yet. If something bad happened, we're unaware. You know whose judgment I don't trust. You're trying to make me feel better by saying Amin would be good with it? Right, that's true. He would, he would. He would, though. He would get the bit. Did you hear some of the jokes he was firing off yesterday?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
I feel like it's less funny. It's getting less and less funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
As the minutes go by. Because I expected him to fumble up in here like two minutes later.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
Yeah, we'd laugh at him, and he'd say, I did it on purpose, guys. And we'd be like, all right, whatever. I mean, all right. So we'll get off that bit for now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
To be clear, it's going to be really hard to convince this room on this day that whatever Lamar is doing, you want me to side with Dale Earnhardt?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: American Crime Story (The Disappearance of Amin Elhassan)
What do you mean the first one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Right as I put it on, Billy's sick. I can see it on him. I can hear it on him. He's got issues.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Don't go to your dinner plans and get everybody sick. Don't be an asshole. Hold on a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
There was a clear targeting call the drive before on Arizona State that they let them go with, too. So I knew that was coming.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It's who gives it. We should have won the game by 20. It doesn't matter. We were the better team. We missed field goals. We had a ball that like should have been returned for a return on a punt return to start the game. And I don't know what the guy did. He was literally like punted anywhere, but on me. I mean, Yeah, it wasn't impressive. We got it done. We're still alive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But don't change the f***ing subject in that you're sick and that you might go to dinner and infest other people tonight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It's scary. I'm going though. I'm going. Are you really? I'm going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
You guys were probably the same three guys that were telling Ohio State they suck and they should fire Ryan Day. Now you're going to tell me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, it was, you know, they came back within 20. We have to fire you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I'm going, I was so excited. My kids have never been to a Texas game. I was telling my wife the night before I was like book the flights and the hotel room right now, like now. Right. We were having a drink. It was new year's Eve. And then she was like, well, I'm a little tipsy. I don't want to do this. And I'm like, please do this. And she's like, well, we'll do it during the game tomorrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And of course she didn't do it during the game. So we looked up all this stuff. And of course, as soon as the game was over in Texas, one, everything went double, right? Everything. Yep. So yeah, we're going, but not for the price I'd like, because my wife decided nobody blows money. Like my wife, she's the best blower of money in the history of the planet. Amazing. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, I mean, I will be fine. But, like, no joke, double. Like, I'm not even joking you. Everything. Like, the room rate, double. Everything was double. But nonetheless, we're going and we're going to have some fun at the Cotton Bowl. Everything's bigger in Texas. You know that, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I was cursing him out before he even kicked it. I was like, this mother effer better knock this in. Stop with all these talks and this crap. Just knock it the damn in. Like, knock it in. He's a really good kicker, other than in the state of Georgia. I don't know what it is. He missed those field goals against Georgia in the SEC championship game, too. Other than that, he's damn smooth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But I still think, at our best, we're as good as anybody in college football. We have these moments like yesterday where you see it and you go, damn, Texas looks real. And then they kind of fall asleep at the wheel. I think they lose their way offensively. They kind of get away from their game plan. They'll be highly motivated and focused.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
They know who's coming to town this week, and they know this is one of the few times all year that they won't just step on a field and be the more gifted team on the field automatically with Ohio State on the field.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I don't mind the 12 either. I just want it to be the right 12. I don't want... pre-existing narratives to make it work, right? See, this is my problem with the whole process. Like they knew Indiana wasn't going to travel. So they're going to have Indiana play Notre Dame and Notre Dame. Cause that'll make sense. They wanted the Rose bowl to have the big 10 pack 12 look right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
So they finagled it to where two of the four best teams in the country are playing in the quarterfinal round. That's stupid because they wanted to make. So when you go in with pre-existing narratives, you, that's how you screw things up. They knew Arizona State wasn't going to sell out the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. They knew they had to have a team like Texas come in there to play it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
So that's the problem. There's too much business and narratives being filled instead of just going, these are the best 12 teams, and we'll see what happens. And that's why it's led to some crappy matchups. But hopefully that's the end of that, and we won't see any more of that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I don't think they're going to be mean to you. When are you going to get it through your thick skull that I work on weekends in this little job called football in the NFL? When are you going to get that through your f***ing skull?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
that's because they tell me to do that that's not because i'm telling them to do that and you wanted to see the minions this year to make them let me and maria go to the texas georgia game even though that wasn't our game it was espn abc and i was like let us do our pre-game me and herb will be there at the game and you can come in and check in on us every now and then yeah he said no so uh that's you know that's not gonna happen this game's on a friday
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I'll get there Thursday. I'll leave early Saturday morning so I can be back on my couch to watch Super Wild Card Saturday and go all that. It's perfect timing. I'm looking forward to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I did. Yeah, I made it. I was past midnight. Yeah, I did. I mean, I went pretty hard on New Year's night. I had definitely a lot of smoky, smoky, drinky, drinky that night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, it was me and my wife alone. And we were like, man, this is awesome. You know, I was like, hey, get naked. Just let's go crazy. And then my daughter called and she's like, we're coming home. Her and her boyfriend are like, we're coming home early. And I was like, Great. Can't wait to see you. Awesome. So, yeah, they ruined my night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, I had to put my wife's clothes back on, and we had to act like we were sitting there normal on the couch now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I put in all that good work already. You deal with it now. I'll watch your misery. I'm enjoying that. You just keep being miserable.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yes, exactly. Wipe your nose. Blow your nose. Don't touch that. Keep your fingers out of your nose. You'll get sick, Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Usually work. It's usually work-related or... schedule changed and I, oh, I got to, I didn't know I was going to have to do this and they made me do this. Now I got to go do it. I'm sorry. I think that's one of my, but I'm like, I'm like, that doesn't really happen to me anymore just because I'm so like, you know, Hey, let's do dinner one night. I'm like, yeah, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
We'll figure it out sometime after the season. Like I am not going to put myself out there and put myself in those positions. I've just learned. So it's very rarely that I have to bullshit my way out of something anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Agreed. Agreed. I mean, vibes are high in that Washington facility because of him. You could feel that. I was there a few years ago. It didn't feel like anything like I felt when I was here just last week and visiting him. Everything you see and everything you said, you're spot on. He's just a cool, smooth customer. Nothing bothers him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
To the point where he's so nice and everything, you're like, I think he might need to learn to be a little bit more of a jerk if he wants to win in this league. Not that he really needs to, but you know what I'm trying to say. Is there a meanness about him? Because I even joked with him. I was like, you throw an interception, you have a little grin on your face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
You throw a touchdown, you have a little grin on your face. You win the game, you have a grin on your face. You lose the game, you have a grin on your face. It's just the way he is. But he talked about how... He wants to portray that, that he used to think about, hey, we're down or things are bad, and let me still act positive so people are positive around me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And he said now he's become like that so much that he doesn't even have to think about it anymore, and that's just the way he is naturally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It's been good. It's an incredibly tough situation, as I've been trying to explain to people. To get thrown out there at this point of the year when everybody's just, you know, all systems go, hitting on all cylinders, total football shape and all that. But the one thing you cannot deny is that the ball comes off that guy's hand in a special way. It does. I mean, it's a different look.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
He's got a powerful arm. He sits there in the pocket. He lets it rip. They're not doing a ton on offense, but in a lot of ways, I think they're somewhat more dangerous on offense. Even though it might not be as many plays and formations, he's just capable of hitting certain throws that Kirk Cousins is not capable of hitting. And, hey, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
When he gets a full offseason and they really get to orchestrate the offense and he gets to feel real comfortable and all that, I think you're going to see Michael Penix look a lot like you saw Jaden Daniels and Bo Nix look in a hurry. It's going to look real damn good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
No, I don't think they did. I think that was a tough situation. That really was. I don't know if there was any right answer there. Of course, we're in a playoff run. They were the quarterback who's been very good for a long time. They were trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that he could work himself out of this, right? I think they made the move right at the proper time. I do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It's a tough one. It really is. And hey, like we know, it was there to be had last week. They should have called the timeout, in my opinion, you know, when they got that one completion up the right sideline. They dilly-dallied there too long because it's a rookie quarterback and he's trying to get everybody orchestrated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
If it's Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, veteran quarterback, Mahomes, whatever, I understand saving the timeout because he's going to be able to get up the line and be like, hey, this formation, blah, blah, blah, let's run the play set hut. But Michael Penix is young, and he's communicating a little slowly to everybody and making sure everybody's on the page, and that's where precious time went by.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, well, nothing's been easy for them, right? I mean, nothing. They've been just a dumpster fire, really. And I think there's a little bit sometimes too much of like they give him too much and to where he's at the line of scrimmage. And yeah, he's young and he's trying to figure it out. And it's like, oh, gosh, it's five. It's four. It's three. Hold on. Check this. And, you know, set hut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And it kind of looks like discombobulated at times. It does. And that's where they got to help them. That's the biggest thing, but it is a big adjustment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
That 40-second running clock in the NFL compared to what college football, it comes in a hurry, let alone the plays are a lot longer, they're a lot more descriptive, and really in the NFL, more times than not, you've got to call two plays in the huddle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
So then you get out of the huddle, you get that long play call, the clock's been running anyways, and you get out and you go, oh, crap, there's only 13 seconds left, and I still got to send a guy in motion and try to figure out what coverage they're in and then try to get to the right play out of the one or two or three that we called in the huddle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And that's where the coach can help the quarterback at times and try to simplify things and maybe not call plays like that on a consistent basis, just every now and then when need be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, it happens a lot. It happens a real lot. Who did we see? We saw Brady and Gronk is the one I remember. Well, Brady and Gronk, we had the old Lions running back who was in last year in New Orleans, right? Didn't they score late in the game to give him a touchdown because there was an incident? Jamal Williams, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Whoever they were playing, the coach got pissed because the players went renegade. They were like, f*** the play call by the coach. We're running it up the middle and then get him an incentive. But it is talked about. It definitely is. And the thing you hope for, because the players can't sway in your favor totally, right? You might try to help out your guy. you need the coaches to be on board.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
That's the big thing. And hopefully the coaches aren't too much of a kiss-ass to the owner where they're worried about the owner's, you know, endless pit of money and him saving a few extra dollars. Like, right, I was in Tampa once, and we were coming down this stretch. We weren't even in the playoffs officially, but... We were going to be in the playoffs more than likely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
We had two games left, and we could win the division. We ended up winning the division and all that and getting a home wildcard game, but Ike Hilliard needed like seven catches in the two games to get like $250,000, and they came to him before the second to last game, and they're like, hey... I think we're going to arrest you these next two weeks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
We're going to arrest you to make sure you're ready for the playoffs. And of course he told us and me and Joey Galloway, and there was a little bit of an uproar. And I think he was like, no, you I'm playing like that's not happening. And yeah, he got that and we made sure he got it. And, and I was happy to see that, but teams can be annoying when it comes to that stuff at times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And he ended up, he goes, no, no, I'm playing. He goes, I'm playing. They tried to say it early in the week. And then he told us to, to where we were. I think, I think they started to realize, well, like the team's got his back. He told a few guys, the quarterback, Joey Galloway, they all know what's going on here. I think we got to play him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And he played really well for us in the last two games and helped us win the NFC South and get that home playoff game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I do. You've got to play. Well, I mean, listen, I understand not playing Kelsey and Mahomes and Chris Jones. I get that. But, like, sit out the whole team, let all the backups play? No, I don't agree with that. I don't. You've got to play a little bit. Like, the way it sets up right now, and I did a video on Instagram this week about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, they're going to go three and a half weeks without meaningful football, a meaningful football game. That's scary. That's a recipe for getting upset in the divisional round. That's what happens. Remember when the Ravens got upset by the Titans a few years ago in the divisional round? They didn't have to play anything the last two games of the year. Oh, bam, bam, boom. Oh, wait.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
This is what it is. It's a street fight again. We forgot what it's like. We haven't played football in four weeks. So that's what I worry about, even for a team like the Patriots. I mean, like the Chiefs, right? Like you mentioned it. whether it was the Parcells Giants or the Belichick Patriots, they had a lot of games where week 17, it was all locked up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
They didn't really need to do anything, but Brady and everybody played like maybe into the third quarter, and then they took them out because, yeah, it's too long of a time, and you don't want to do that, and you want to go into the playoffs somewhat sharp and ready to go. So I hope the Chiefs play a good majority of their guys, at least a good amount of the football game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, I hear you there. I hear you there. Now, listen, Denver's no easy thing either. You just saw them go toe-to-toe with Joe Burrow. We saw them. They should have beat Kansas City as well. I don't think Kansas City gives a f***, Stu Gatz. I don't think they give a s***. I think Kansas City's like, bring on whoever you want to bring on. We're ready. And as much as Joe Burrow's scary...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
they're less scary than years past because of that defense, right? Those other years when Kansas City had to play Cincinnati, those defenses were pretty good. This is one I think they look at this year and go, eh, we can score 30 on this defense for sure. And I don't think there's quite the fear from those top teams in the AFC of Cincinnati like there used to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, or he's certainly not afraid. That's for sure. But, I mean, that's why I'd love to see him get in because, I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, and Lamar all on the same side of the playoff bracket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, the four guys, the four guys that are clearly in a class of their own right now and quarterback in the NFL, it's like those four, and then we can make a list after that. They stand alone, and I would love to see all four get in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It ain't happening, Chris. Well, he's going to have to earn it. This is the Super Bowl. This is the NFL. You've got to take it. That's what the Chiefs have been doing, and that's what it's going to take. You want to be the man? You've got to beat the man. That's what you've got to do. And, yeah, this is some of those early season losses to the Raiders and the Browns.

That's come back to bite them in the ass, and now they're going to have to go on the road and do it. But, damn, they're hot. Their offense is playing as good as it's played all year. Their defense is definitely better than it was at the halfway point. So certainly capable of doing those type things. I think Baltimore is the worst matchup in the world for Buffalo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I think Buffalo would rather see any team in the AFC rather than Baltimore. I think Baltimore really causes some problems for them. But to your point...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
lamar is under more pressure i think than anybody in the nfl in this playoffs i do and what i mean you bring him up with the mvp stuff i mean this year blows last year out of the way right last year there was almost really like lamar lamar wanted by default there was no like unreal single guy that was like oh wow i mean you look at lamar's stats last year they're good but they're not eye-popping this year's been his best season yes
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, but last year they had some moments at the end of the year. They blew out Miami and they blew out San Francisco in San Francisco on Monday night. That's where I think Josh Allen has the advantage on Lamar this year. Josh Allen's stats are close to Lamar's, but not quite there. I don't think Josh Allen's support is as good as Lamar's is on the offensive side of the ball. And Josh Allen had...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
a run of games there where it was the Chiefs, the 49ers, the Rams, and the Lions that were all national televised games and you were all going, oh my gosh, is this guy the best football player we've ever seen? And I think those moments will get him over the top to win the MVP as long as he doesn't just totally screw it up this weekend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, no, I think it's more of like, yeah, get the start. It's also let's just go through the process and, you know, go through warm ups and act like we're going to play. So the next week when, you know, we're sitting at home and it's a wild card game and the Chargers are here, it's like, OK, we're ready to go. We feel pretty good or whoever might be there. So I think that's what it's about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But yeah, I wouldn't expect to see him real long either. But like, man, it's crazy. Last year, like I said, it was like there was barely an MVP. This year, we got four guys that I would go, holy, they win the MVP in any other year if they weren't just competing against each other right now in this year. It's a crazy year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
No, you're exactly right. And again, Tua's good. I'm not against any of that, right? I'm not. I'm just against the fact of I don't understand $55 million a year to a guy like you've heard me say. In big games, he's usually the biggest question we have in a big game. And his ability to be available is a problem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
That does not match up with, oh, that's the guy we pay and put the franchise and all the chips on. That's bad team building. I will say the same thing that the 49ers do the same thing with Brock Purdy. Dan Patrick asked me about it today, and I brought up these examples, and I went – If I'm the 49ers, I go, here, Brock Purdy, here's $30 million.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Show me somebody else that's going to give you $30 million. Here you go. I wouldn't have done much different with Miami and Tua. I would have gone, here's $30. Here's $35. Show me who else is going to give you more. Oh, right, crickets. Take it? No? Okay. See you later. I don't know. But that's what I don't understand, and that's where I do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I've heard teams, and I talk to a lot of people, as you guys know. I think it's going to start going this way a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
There's going to be a line in the sand a little bit with some of these teams start going, no, you're not this guy at all positions, and you're not just because you're up for the next contract and you're a pretty good player doesn't mean you get to flirt with the top of the market at that position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I think teams are wising up to that, and I think Tua, Deshaun Watson, all that stuff is kind of a warning sign for that kind of stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
right like the giants a few years ago they could offer daniel jones 30 million a year and he was going to take it why did they offer 40 like what why like these teams are negotiating against themselves they're literally like raising the price tag on themselves like here's 30. oh no let's make it 34. oh wait you're good with 34 now we'll make it 38 and it's like what why why is it going up nobody wants this guy what are we doing who's who's bidding against them i don't understand it
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
No, no, see, that's wrong. See, this is where I'm totally the player guy. This is where I'm totally the player guy because Tua and some of these other guys are not worth three and four guys on the football team. That's what I'm trying to say here. Let's start paying some of these other guys a little bit more and stop paying just because he's our quarterback and we won with him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
We're going to pay him and ruin the whole organization over that. That has got to stop. Two is not worth three times some of the other good players on your football team. I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Exactly. That's what I'm trying to say to you. Yeah, see, you're coming around. You're sick a little bit, but you're not totally sick in the brain. Sell out. Sell out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
If I'm them... I want to see another year. I don't want to go total long-term contract guaranteed money. I mean, you just heard some of the things I just said that would go against that. Also saying that, though, I wouldn't want to let him out of the building with the way he's playing and what he's doing right now. Franchise him. franchise them. That's what I would do as we sit here right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I think that's the right play. It's about 40 million. You buy yourself a year. If I'm Minnesota, I want to see one more year. I know this has been really good, but sometimes teams can get hot and a quarterback can get hot and that vibe of that year. And they do it for one year and they can't replicate it like, like me. That's what I did. Okay. There you go. So that happens. Hey, whoa, they're hot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
They're good. And then that quarterback can never replicate that again in his career. And that's where I'd want to see it a little bit more before I just totally empty out the Brinks truck for him. Unless they go to the Super Bowl, of course. Well, yeah, unless they go to the Super Bowl, then that's a whole different ballgame, and then maybe that's where you get into.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Again, I'd still want to see it, but maybe I'd go two-year deal with a little bit more money than the franchise or something like that. But as I sit here right now, I'd be thinking franchise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I actually think it's Detroit. Now, both offenses are special, but yeah, hear me out, Stugatz, and I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm just going to throw some logic at you here. Both offenses are awesome, right? Kevin O'Connell, does anybody get 25 and 20 and 25-yard completions open more than Kevin O'Connell and the damn Minnesota Vikings? It's incredible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Ben Johnson, I think Ben Johnson's the best offensive coordinator about to be head coach since Shanahan came from the Falcons to go to the 49ers. Or maybe McVay from Washington to the Rams. I think it's that quality of a guy, though, on that side of the ball. He's special. But here's where... I think Detroit needs it because I worry about Detroit's defense. I mean, you saw the other night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, the 49ers were carving through it like they weren't even there. I mean, it was a fun game to watch. But you've got to be worried about Detroit's defense. And I think at home... The advantage of the crowd noise is a big deal. That'll just give them a little bit more of an advantage because of why.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Because, hey, now whoever's coming in there, you can't call two plays or three plays in the huddle. You got to kind of simplify things. It's too loud to do all this stuff at the line of scrimmage and call these plays in the huddle. And that would be an advantage Detroit for their defense to a degree. So that's my only reason I say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But, I mean, you know, to Sagat's your point, both teams could use it. That's for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
If I had to bet, I'd say yes. Really? I mean, I wouldn't want to bet a lot of money on this. I think he's definitely done with the Jets, but... I just don't know or feel like there's a clear landing spot. And as I think you've heard me say, and I've said to Florio, I mean, Rodgers' reputation around the NFL is not very good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Like, nobody's signing up for let me deal with the Aaron Rodgers circus and all that comes with it for him at this age and his style of play and how he plays now. So, yeah, I'm going to say no. I'm going to say this is the last game we see Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I'm sure he wants to, but I do think they're doing right by Saquon Barkley. Sometimes you got to save the player from himself. And this is what I would say to Saquon Barkley. I've been saying this all week. Like, yeah, I know you want to break the record. I get it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But if you win a Super Bowl and they're a Super Bowl MVP, that'll pay you a whole lot more money through your lifetime than just being the single-season rushing record leader. You win the Super Bowl, that's a big deal forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
and then you win the Super Bowl and you're the MVP, which we know there could be a real possibility with him running for 150 yards and three touchdowns, you go into the legends category forever. Every time you sign your name, Super Bowl MVP, Super Bowl 59, blah, blah, blah. Oh, damn. Can you put Super Bowl 59 on there? That's an extra $5,000. Oh, yeah, sure, blah, blah, blah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, so that'll pay him forever. It stinks. I want to see him break it too, but I think they're doing the right thing. Use this as a bye week. I think they're the best team in the NFC. If I do my playoff bracket, I'm going to pick the Eagles to go to the Super Bowl out of the NFC. I can tell you that right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I know. I don't know. I don't think so. And this is something that I haven't dug into or tried to find any back-channel information on. I think if they got upset in the first round, there'd probably be, yes, he'd be in danger for sure. I think if they get by the first round, I think he's okay no matter what. But if they get upset at home on wild card weekend with that team, yeah, he's in trouble.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Definitely, definitely. But as we've seen here, like and green bags going to play all their starters because they have to. I mean, that's a bad way to go into the playoffs the way they played last week. And Jordan Love, as you've heard me say all year. And again, you saw it last week. Too many missed throws and plays early on in the football game. That was why they were down 20 to three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
So they got to try to continue to build him up. That'll be big for them. And Washington, I don't think they're going to get a Cowboys team asleep at the wheel. I expect them to win, but I do think the Cowboys will fight at home after being embarrassed last week against Philadelphia.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
For the most part. Depends about what you're about to say here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Ben Johnson, Jacksonville, Chicago, real things there. Shh, shh. Okay, that's weird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, Vrabel, there's talks about him up in New England and all that too. I got to see that to believe that, that they're going to get rid of Gerard Mayo after one year. The other one that's out there is that, you know, Brady's got his hooks in Vrabel already too to try to come and be the Raiders head coach. So those would be like some – Those would be the ones that I can share with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
There's a few other like coach GM combinations that I'm not that good of friends with you that I'm going to talk to you about that quite yet. Oh, come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah. I don't know if I'm going to buy into that one. That doesn't seem like a Patriot like move. I don't think. And especially the way Drake may has looked and played. I think they're in love with him up there. There's no way they're trying to take one other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
is there still a patriot way the patriot way is in like it's into goes back to like parcells and then it was handed off to belichick it's it's that the patriot way is like no excuses shut the up do your job and then come back and do it all again tomorrow and maybe we'll pat you on the back when it's all said and done i mean it's just it's the giants of the 80s chris It's what's the same thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It's just detail. It's a mantra. It's not something that they gave themselves this name. They weren't like, we're doing it. Well, I didn't hear that in the facility. This is the Patriot way. This is how we do it. No, that was kind of like what the media started to say. Because, yeah, the Patriots are different in that they don't talk on the field to other teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Their coaches don't talk to anybody. The front office wouldn't talk to anybody, right? Things were done differently. Week in, week out, preparation, all that type of stuff, work ethic. The way they dug into certain little details was special. So that's what the Patriot way means.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I mean, yeah, I'm making a video of some guy over in Germany who might try to play football, but I'm up in the scouting department. They want to get eyes on him. So it's like, oh, whoa, we looked under a rock in Germany. There's a guy there that's got the right height, weight, and speed. Let's scout him out. That's the Patriot way. That's the shit that the Patriots do. The Patriots are...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Most coaches did not want to hear me explain the Patriot way because they didn't like to hear all the work and detail that it went. They wanted to just believe Tom Brady did it. That's all. Most coaches that I talk to, they're like, oh, they had Brady. That's why. I don't want to be like, no, they were 15-5 without Brady when he didn't play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And the first year he left, they went to the playoffs with a rookie quarterback. Like, no, there's a little bit more to it than that. And it is a different level of how they practice, how they prepare, how they scout. All of it is different than any other team I was a part of at any moment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I did. I was the, you know, I call myself the bitch boy, but, you know, quality control on the offensive side of the ball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, that would go into your detail stuff and all that too. And this is where, you know, Belichick is brilliant and that there wasn't definitive language about some of the stuff they were doing at that point in the rule book, right? So he's almost like a lawyer. And like I tell everybody, like Bill's like one of the smartest humans ever. It's not just football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
If Bill was on Wall Street, he'd be the f***ing wolf of Wall Street too. So, you know, that's where... It's a little different. But yeah, obviously they did some things back then. There was always rumors that they miked defensive linemen. So then the next time they played that team, they could hear the quarterback's calls at the line of scrimmage. There was always rumors like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But I can also promise you that I saw nothing of that They were the biggest rule followers in the world when I was there. Like, if you wanted to bet $5 on the U.S. Open, like, Bill would find out, and they'd send a memo to everybody in the office. I had no gambling on NFL premises. And you were like, what? It was like two friends who were like, I bet $5 on Tiger to win.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But that's the way they were. But I'm telling you, the detail, nobody can mess with what New England did and how they broke down games. No way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, I mean, I don't know. I was there for about 18 months. And, I mean, like I said, I saw nothing other than maybe the, like, I started to get an inkling about the balls being not properly inflated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
right like that and that's why you've heard me be a strong advocate for yeah that was messed up they took air out of the footballs he took them not they he as in Tom Brady that's all there was to it but you know he didn't need to as we know too the balls were properly inflated for Super Bowl 49 and he won the MVP that's what was annoyed me about it is that Tom Brady one of the greatest throwers I ever seen did not need to take the air out of the ball and he did that
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But no, man, I can't tell you the breakdowns of those games. Everything I did for that, another level. I'm just telling you, nobody broke games down the way Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
But I would hang out back there in the ball boy area a lot. Like if I got a break, I would go down and hang out there. So that's where I am. Because that's the way I always was as a player. And you just want to get away a little bit. That was always the spot to get away from. Man of the people. But it couldn't be. All you got to do, you got to stop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
The Patriots and Mr. Kraft tried to confuse the situation by putting misinformation out there and all that. All you got to do is read the text and listen to anybody that knows anything. He took the air out of the ball. So be it. So what? He did it. That was messed up. Right? And all they really fought of against the end was that they thought the punishment was too severe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
At the end, they really didn't deny it anymore. And that's so be it. And I'm sick of talking about it. Shut up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
15 years ago no but it does happen like with me a lot and it comes up no matter what almost like every two or three weeks in my life it always does some yeah it does somehow some way well because i've also i was one of the few people out there that was like like that's messed up because i still hear people go well what's the big deal about taking the air out of the football
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, what's the big deal if we lower the basket to 9 feet, 10 inches? I mean, there's lots of things. What's the big deal? Then why do we have a high school football and a college football? Just let the f***ing guys throw the high school ball. Damn, Tom Brady and Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, look, they'll throw it 100 yards. The game will be exciting. Whoa, whoa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
There's a reason the balls are the way they are. And yes, he took the rules of the game into his own hands for self-benefit, and I'll always have a problem for that. He knows that. I'm never going to just let that go totally. Never.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Of course. It's great. Yes. And, yeah, I would have loved to have thrown a smaller football in the NFL, too. I'd have been just boom, boom. I mean, there's a reason. There's a size difference there. As you grow, your hands grow. This game, you need more skill, whatever else, and that goes up with the ball as well. So, yeah, there is a difference there, 100%.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
because of the offenses on the quarterbacks. I think right now I'd probably say Bucs, though. The Rams' defense has become a pain in the ass. Yes. I am a little scared of the Rams' offense, right? I am. It's a few weeks in a row we saw in the past game. Cooper Cup does not look the same. They have to ride Puka Nakua too much in the past game. That scares me. But not as much as it scares me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
And because they have experience and we know the Rams are playoff tested and all that, the Bucs defense really scares me. That's my big problem with them. I got no worries about the offense. It's their defense. It's one of the worst in football. And in pass defense, it's pitiful.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I know, and that's going to be fun because we're going to see a shootout. That's what's going to be fun. Tampa versus Minnesota or Tampa versus Detroit is going to be a lot of big plays on the offensive side of the ball, and it'll be a fun game to watch, that's for sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
I'm going to take the Lions. I took the Lions. I'm just taking them because they're at home. I am. I'm going to say that they find a way to get this done. But, man, I'm worried about their defense. I think I took them 31-28. I'm going Lions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
No, I hear you there. I mean, you're right. It's crazy what we're seeing. I mean, between Minnesota, Detroit, and Philadelphia, those are three damn good football teams in the NFC. And yeah, one of them won't even be in the NFC championship game. So that's crazy. We could see...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
this matchup in the divisional round right there's a very good chance Detroit wins this game Minnesota beats Tampa and then they go on and end up playing in Detroit once again so we'll see where it goes there's a lot of football to be had but yeah I worry about Detroit's D and they're going to have to play through their offense and be super aggressive
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
It's okay. Don't worry. I expect it. It's Billy, and he's sick in the head today, so I understand it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, you're sick and I don't want to get the you didn't know that plague. I didn't want to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Yeah, right. Right now. Well, I got to sit here and watch my kids and I got to. Yeah, so we'll see. Maybe one day I'll invite him, but this ain't the time. This is a special game. He's not special enough to be a part of this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
Well, it's a Friday night game, so I can do it. That's why I'm doing it, and it's my school, and it's not you. That's really the bottom line. That's why, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
No, not yet, but I am going to try to get some calls here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
No, there's no hot seat. Shut up. Get out of here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Mi Casa, Su Casa
See you. See you. Thank you, buddy. I hope you don't go to dinner tonight and get those people sick. That would be a jerk move. You're a jerk. I'm not sick.

Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
What kind of friend is he? He bailed on you. See, Greg, they thought they needed Whittingham until Chris saw an Edmonton Oiler fan throwing up in the parking lot. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
You can't say that's not a good sign for Panthers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
It can be both, though. Relief can bring joy. They would have been mocked forever. There were two options for the Panthers last night. Win the Stanley Cup and be celebrated. or lose it and be mocked forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
I watched it wire to wire. It felt like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
Well, of course, Game 7 helped, but you had two goals early, one for each team, one-one going into the second, and the Panthers scored the third.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
As you're walking through the hallways, though, are you doing it with a strut? Because you know you got it right.

You're going on vacation. You have two choices. You're spending a week. Edmonton or Sunrise, Florida? Where are you going?

You can't bring Messier, though. I mean, it's just you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
How crushed was Messier last night?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
You won the biggest game in the history of hockey. I mean, that's crazy that the Panthers won the game. USA, Russia would like to have a word.

Hour 2: Mark Messier Hates Greg Cote
You go where the cup isn't. Exactly right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Let me tell you what's ridiculous about what Dan just said. Levitard referred to my opinion as lazy. A lazy opinion is one that everybody else has. Nobody else had this opinion. This was bold. Nobody else had this opinion. It is the opposite of a lazy opinion. Bold.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
It's not a lazy opinion. Okay, okay. Trust me. All right. Thank you for your bravery. And just because I cough, talk about ageism. For real. I have asthma, and he's making fun of the fact that I cough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Unhealthism. Yes. Have you responded yet? I haven't yet. Has your attorney responded? I'm busy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Well, Canadians are too nice to vandalize.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, that's true, but that's in the east, isn't it? No, it's in the west. Very west. As west as you can get. Greg, go sit in the penalty box. I was thinking of Montreal. It's east of Asia. That's east. I just got in here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
It depends where your starting point is. East of the Pacific Ocean. Yeah. I was right, by the way. I don't know whether you've heard that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He does. Which one? I mean, if there was a murdering spree throughout South Florida and Dwork's name, his face came up on the television, would you be surprised?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
It was the perfect ending. How about you get the puck? Best player in the world.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
There you go. Instead of skating around the net, how about you go get the puck?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Waiting for someone to bring it to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, I was going to order a McOver rated chicken sandwich. Right. And and if they didn't have that, I would have said, oh, you're all out. I'll have a Barbrowski burger with some Sasha sauce.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, and then I was going to order a Frosty just because I was smoking. That's Wendy's, though. It's a wrong place. We were at Wendy's waiting to order. Okay, I thought you were at a McDonald's.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yes. You can only do it at McDonald's. All I can tell you is that we were at Wendy's. To no avail.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
You have to work your way into that thing. You do. If you're Roy, you have to. Perhaps I should have went with him, but you have to work your way into that. You have to be friends and family. Roy, get in there. I can't get in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I would love it if a shark ate the cup. And believe me, a shark could. Yeah, that's a good question for McGill. That is a good question. It is a great question. Is he on today? An adult shark could take a bite out of the cup that would render it useless.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Oddly, the only people that were happy for Florida Panther fans were Tampa Bay Lightning fans and their organization.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
That's what the kids call championship. Ships with the dips. We're going for the ship.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Fun. Yeah. I've been in the elbow room, believe me. Oh, yeah. Talking to the mic. Yeah, you have. Here I am. Who needs me? Come on. You're going to go to Buffalo. Burn you calmly. All right, back to hockey. Back to you at the elbow room. It's a real tourist spot. Normally, just tourists. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I could run a 100-meter dash right now and beat half of you. Yeah, no, I certainly could.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, the guy who gets credit. In the scroll, but not major credit. You know, my name is a third of the size of Dustin Hoffman or the actor of the day. Right. You know, Gyllenhaal, that kind of thing. But a third actor. Yeah. I mean, I've been an extra in a major motion picture. I've done that. Is that so? Yeah. Really? Absence of Malice. Yeah. Early 80s with Sally Field. Wow. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, that was a good film. Classic. What did you do? I played a newspaper reporter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I am sitting on a desk with a newspaper, reading an open newspaper, but you can see my face on camera.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Like that song, Voices Carry. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
So Greg, you're saying you couldn't be Maverick, you couldn't be Goose, but perhaps you could be Ice from Top Gun?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I don't speak that language. He's the third guy, the third star in that movie. Iceman. Honestly, at this age, I'm a character actor. Okay, I'm the guy you cast as, you know, the creepy neighbor. You know, maybe the creepy neighbor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, maybe the accountant in the office who's nearing retirement as in embezzling on the side, you know, that type thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Right. That would have been blame sown by this show, quite frankly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I know, but you had Zaslow. on here saying that if the Panthers lose this series, everybody's going to blame you. And Mike Ryan has said something similar. That is what foments the atmosphere for potential harm to me if the Panthers had lost. Luckily, they didn't. In terms of my reputation, I don't give a crap whether people hear my name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
They think, oh, that's the idiot who wrote Marino should be traded and McDavid is overrated. That's fine. That's fine. That's perfectly fine. You were scared, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I was never scared. No, I never felt in physical harm. I was joking last night that had the Panthers lost game seven, I would have needed a bodyguard to walk to me with my car.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, that's true. Had that happened. But I wasn't fearful that it was actually going to happen. That was a big what if. But yeah, the worst case scenario happens. And three disgruntled Panthers fans, Zaslow, Mike, and one other guy, beat me up as I'm leaving last night's game after a heartbreaking loss. That would have been great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, and I come out looking worse than I did a few weeks ago in that photo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Right. Oh, and as as all of you will attest, I have never done anything but double down on my opinion. I've been unwavering in my opinion and I continue to believe what I wrote. And I think to a large degree, the result did vindicate me. The thing that I got mad about was a the the.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
invasion of privacy photo of me in a hospital bed and B, using that photo of a naked guy on Bourbon Street and saying flat out that it was me when obviously it wasn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah. You know, I hate to brag. You know that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I made a fleeting reference to it, but that was not the emphasis of the column. I'm going to come back with a column today that will be online later today about the whole past couple of weeks and the McDavid drama. About you? About you. About your favorite. Squeeze it a little more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I think your original column should be your last word on the topic. That's it. Like, that's it. You don't have to say anything more. You won. Your column should be, I was right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yes. Yeah. Well, you know, that may be essentially not just that, but that may be essentially what I write today. But the column I wrote last night had to be a celebration of this epic achievement. You were not right. Oh, yeah, I was. No, he's right. Yeah. I mean, read more about it later today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He was terrible five out of seven games. I don't want to hear about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Let me tell you what should have happened. McDavid missed an opportunity. He squandered an opportunity after the game. He squandered many during the game and during the series, but he squandered one afterwards. You accept the Conn Smythe, you skate it over to Bob, you hand it to him. That's what you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
That's what you do. That would have been classic. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
would he ask me i mean i'm not gonna no no no no you you see him you you're face to face like he was here do you say i didn't mean any disrespect or do you say i was right like what do you say i i would say dad what i said originally i stand for which is your son is top tier in expectations in hype top tier top tier of of almost all time with the possible exception of gretzky
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He hasn't lived up because he hasn't won a Stanley Cup. His stats are great. Hasn't lived up to what? Hasn't lived up to those lofty expectations and hype. He just finished his ninth season. He has to win a Stanley Cup. And I thought this postseason was a perfect mirror on his career, which is the stats are great. The numbers are great, particularly the assists. But what's missing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
They said he's the best player in hockey. They said he's the best player in hockey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Right, nothing at all. He disappeared in the last game. Well said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
What you should be saying is who did the most to help his team win the Stanley Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
That's not the award. But I was saying earlier in the other room, there should be a NHL final, a Stanley Cup final MVP award. There should be both.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Yeah, I think so, too. Was PK wearing a bathrobe when he said it or no? I'm just curious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
His talent jumps off the screen. You can tell he's the best player in hockey. That's not what Greg is saying. He's not even debating that. He's saying if you're going to be that great, you need to validate all of it with a Stanley Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
It could have been reached last night. What you just said is complete bullshit. If Edmonton wins 2-1 last night, I'm standing right here going, he's properly rated. He has caught up to the expectations everybody had for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Welcome to sports. We live by the bottom line. The puck did hit the pipe and didn't go in. Skinner did not stop the Verhagen goal. That's because McDavid's overrated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Greg is saying they just had to win the game. McDavid didn't have to do anything. He didn't have to play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
I'm not taking anything away from the Panthers. They richly deserved it. And my co-MVP, along with Bob, would be Barkov, who proved for everyone that he's the two-time... You're giving it to two guys instead of McDavid. Two guys. Yeah, because they won the cup. Co-MVP, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
No. He had a disappointing final until last night, in my opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
This was Conor McDavid's first final. This was his chance before the world, before North America at least, to prove that all of the hype is real. This is how good I am. I can lift a team that isn't quite as good as Florida, and I can make them Stanley Cup champions. He didn't do it, okay? Maybe that's harsh for some people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
He's a great player who in almost 10 years hasn't won a Stanley Cup, overrated, hasn't lived up to the hype. You know, the hype is way up here, but he has not lived up until he wins a Stanley Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: We Are Made It!!!!!!
Let's see. Let's see. Is he going to win a Stanley Cup? Pucks in his court.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Big Friggin' Dave Bobrovsky
What the hell was that, Greg? Yeah, no. I love it. Stugatz. Roy, let me explain it to you. You know more about hockey than I do. And this is coming from a guy that's watched Connor play six times. Right. If that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Panthers fans were ready to crush that, though. If they get out to a 2-0 lead, we're blaming Alanis Morissette.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
No, dude, that was like a 10 out of 10.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
He was trying to act, when I talked to him, like he wasn't feeling the pressure of the whole McDavid thing. And I was feeling the pressure of it, so I don't know how he wasn't, but... He's such a ridiculous shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
That was an odd order that they handed that cup around. It was. Ekblad was so pissed when Oliver Ekman-Larsen got it before him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Fans to their feet. Bouchard. Pass missed. Dreisaitl. Down to our right. Forsling in the corner. He'll try and hold this. Ten seconds left. Two-one Panthers. A dream 30 years in the making is a reality. The Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup. Lord Stanley is coming home. You always will have a place in South Florida. Oh, my God.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: THE FLORIDA PANTHERS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
The Panthers have won the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. Yeah. Start the celebration, South Florida. The Panthers have done it. Stanley Cup champions.
