Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
It's not only a game that you didn't need. It immediately ends Kirk Cousins' career in Atlanta. We didn't even talk about that today. And they won it. The team that won it. That's the wild part. The team that won it with 15 points has ended Kirk Cousins' career. And the Raiders do nothing but lose in that Antonio Pierce idea. Not a great one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Juju, I wanted to get into a couple of things from today's show today, but what I'm really hoping, because I didn't see any of the feedback, and I stayed with it way too long, and I regret certain elements of it, but I hope... No, you're laughing at a different thing than I am, Chris, because... Michael K. That too, look, there were three or four times today that I stayed with something too long, but my favorite of the things that I stayed too long with was just trying to rummage around... What are you smiling about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Give me, let's see if it's the same thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I love that so much. Oh, God, I hate that so much. I love it so much. I hate that so much. Now, Juju, what are your thoughts? Yeah, Juju, not one of your thoughts, but Juju, what did the audience think? Did I stay with that too long? Because Greg Cody was trying to be nice about things, but I noticed that when I put Dave Hyde in his company, he did not like it. I physically felt it next to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
All right. Is it Amin and Mike Ryan going back and forth?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
We're having two of these today. We're about to have a white elephant. I mean, flew in from Vegas. I mean, flew in for this. Everyone keeps saying two of these. What's the other one? We've got one tonight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
It was Juju's first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Juju had this many, many hours ago. He started changing the NBA rules long before Greg Cody started fixing the NBA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
That's nice of you to say, but I will say that the most awkward thing here is how we all blew past Greg Cody's totally insincere offer to meet twice with Juju about changing the NBA's rules.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
We'll have people taking notes and doing meeting stuff. Yeah, but you're not going to do any of this. I want you to get together. Look, I've been waiting for back in my day for about six months. You don't do anything around here that you say you're going to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
We've heard all those.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
We played the original here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Three of them have not been heard, and one of them, three of them are allegedly new, and one of them you've done here already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Okay, I just want to celebrate people and have them hear the things that I'd say at their funeral while they're alive. But it's your tone, though. It's just the way you say it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Brilliant. Well, Juju, thank you. That hour felt very good to all of us. If we're doing this in traditional postgame, let's break it down style. But I love the number of things about that hour, okay? One of my favorite things is that David Samson got shoved right off to the side of his own segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
And we couldn't get rid of Michael Kay and Turturro. They didn't want to leave the show because, and this is a great question, why is Greg Cody wrapping Gibson? over there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Well, both of them at any point could have just closed their computer or just hit leave on the Zoom, but I don't think they both, my favorite part of that segment was that the two of them at the end were still staring in and I will say to the audience, if you listen to this via audio, the thing that made me roar with laughing is that I was yelling at Lewis because I could see that Turturro and Kay were still there kind of trapped and I'm like, put them on the screen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Put them so Likely staring. So that people can just see the confusion of why are Michael K and Turturro staring at each other as Greg Cody wraps a gift?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You aren't and you won't. Right. I did kill Michael K. I will pay that fine at another time. Do you have anything else for us in the way of constructive criticism today? That Mike and Amin thing got heated over the defensive protection of basketball.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You hear that, brother? We don't explain what the show is. Like, you want that to be the post-game? Get your own post-game show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Can't wait for that rule-changing meeting you guys are going to have. Yeah, two of them. Those two meetings. Yeah, we're going to get right on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You're listening to DraftKings Network. And starring Timothee Chalamet as Bob Dylan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
We caught him in a good mood. I think he's in a good mood. It's hard to tell where you stand with Zoe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Yeah. Yeah. That's fair. Do you think Zoe would like the three-point layup? Ooh, good question. Did you ask that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
The fans are right. I mean. They should be outraged.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
No, I see it every weekend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
He was a four-time MVP. From what Billy is saying, though, it also seems like, and Dan, you have discussed this, we have discussed this a lot over 20 years, is reaching the pinnacle of your profession at such an early age. And then what do I do when this is done?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Josh Allen. Yeah, it's crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You fell asleep at the third, huh? I do that every Sunday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You asked yourself. People don't know that. You're the minds, you guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
It will. I think you make a fair point about when Billy's talking about Aaron and his search for happiness and some of the stuff he's thrown himself into over the last, I don't know, four or five years, he would find happiness, I would think, if he disconnected. He's too connected. Like, disconnect. I would say that I... Dan, you ever spend the day without your phone?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Still caught up on humped. Yeah. Haven't heard that in a while.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I had a similar experience, Dan. The first time that I finally got a chance to be one of the panelists on Around the Horn, I thought that it was going to feel great. And it did. It's the best feeling I've ever had. I mean, seriously, I miss doing it. I miss Reali. I miss Sedano. I miss the crew. It's exactly what I expected, but more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Wait, has there been a gift that's been poorly wrapped that you didn't accept?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I have to be honest with you. Yeah, you're not certain if it's going to go in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
But it'll get you eight assists, I mean.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Well, Amin doesn't get to decide for me why basketball is no longer as popular for me as it used to be, okay? You don't get to do that. I am telling you that when I go to games, I never go to games, but if I went to a game, I have questions as to who's going to be playing in that game, and then the style of play is not something I'm a fan of. I don't like 54 threes a game. I don't like it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
23s. I thought you said 23. I thought you were doing a Jordan homage. Now, we are trying to change the rules. Greg Cody came to me before the show, and he said to me, threes should be twos and twos should be threes. I agree with that. I do. He wants a three-point layup. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I mean, Dan thinks we're doing this wacky thing when we try to change the rules. He laughed at the Golden Abat. Now they're seriously considering the Golden Abat. We're not doing anything wacky. We're trying to improve the sports that we love. That's all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Don't you think it would be great if points in the paint counted as three?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I like it. Yeah, it's pretty good, huh?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
got here i want to tell you a story i'm serious here my wife and my two daughters they begged me to buy a peloton so i bought a peloton and then i watched that peloton sit in my office and stare at me so you know what i did one day i looked at it and so i decided to get off my ass and i jumped on the peloton because no one else was using it and i paid for it i mean so why not then i realized eventually that they bought it for me and i gotta tell you way more challenging than i could have ever imagined
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Peloton coaches are walking the walk. I love the coaches. I do the Grateful Dead one. It's fantastic. They have a sub three hour marathon runner, military trained athlete, a former college basketball player and so many other well-rounded coaches on their team. All this experience really shows in their classes. which are never short of challenging, especially for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
So I jumped on it that first time. It was challenging, more challenging than I thought. Then I wanted to beat the bike, and so I kept jumping on it, and I absolutely love it. I mean, I'm the only one who uses it, but again, they got it for me. I mean, I had no idea. That's a little passive-aggressive, don't you think? Find your push, find your power with Peloton at OnePeloton.com.

Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
This is very exciting. I don't know what Nick Turturro saw that made him giggle so much with David Sampson here. David Sampson, of nothing personal, has landed the get that there is anywhere in baseball today because his rage speaks on behalf of all Yankee fans and his place right now. His backdrop looks exactly how I would have guessed it would if I thought, where does that rage come from?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
You got to be careful there, Nick, when you're doing the sports commentary game. If you want to get into a debate show with David Sampson, you got to be careful about calling somebody a dirty guy in these troubled times. No, I mean dirty in a way that he looks like, you know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I got it. I'm not trying to get you in any trouble. I just wanted you and David to argue about something because you say you think you can do this, and David's very good at it. Look, he booked you on our show. You guys have probably been arguing about things for three days, I would guess.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I asked you not to bring it up is something I did not expect to hear. Nick, thank you for being here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
You're hired, Nick. That's the start of a new show right there. There's a new baseball show in there somewhere with Nick Turturro and David Sampson. We will try and get him on again because I want to get him fired up on sports.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Yes. Well, this was the nothing personal sponsored portion of our show where we talked to David Sampson and he brought his own guest today. But there are a number of things that I did want to talk to him about, including what it is that we were talking about with Greg Cody a second ago, which is who is the better local columnist in town? Greg Cody or Dave Hyde?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
It comes from those black and white photographs behind him. He is mad and pissed off on behalf of several generations of Yankee fans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
All right, hold on a second. I'm going to just throw total chaos at this situation. This is so exciting. Hold on, Dan. Nick, since you're right there, since you're still with us, hold on a second. I'm going to give you what I hope is a little treat. I don't know if it's a little treat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
But we have had some traffic get congested here, and so as a filibuster, I would like our camera crew to focus in on Greg Cody, who is right now at a live mic and has been taking about 45 minutes to wrap this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I'm going to go to him in a second. They haven't started yet. Okay, I'm going to go to you in a second. You haven't started yet? You're just waiting for your cue? All right. Yes. As you do so, you're going to have to keep waiting because... Michael Kay has arrived. Oh, boy. Yeah, Michael Kay, the legendary Michael Kay, who I have loved for a long time around here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
And I don't know how Nick feels about him as a Yankee fan, but a distinguished career of Michael Kay. I wanted to celebrate it today, but now it's collided against David Sampson and Nick Turturro. So I'll just bring Michael Kay in now as we do this because we're live. Look at him. Look at the smiling face. Look at the smiling face of the road has beaten me up for years, kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Oh, my God. This fandom right here represents the voice of New York sports and betrayal and hurt. And thank you. I can't tell you how much we appreciate your rage. Let's play for everybody. Okay. Nick Turturro's rage when Juan Soto betrayed his beloved Yankees.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I've been doing shows in this town for 30 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Every day I'm getting ground down by the national sports radio machine that needs to keep being fed. And look at it. It's ravaged him. That Yankee baseball and people caring like Nick Turturro has made Michael Kay a legend in New York. And also somebody who thinks what of Nick Turturro's active rage toward your beloved team, Michael, as he rails against Juan Soto. Okay, that's very good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
He's a video game character. We're working on it. We're working on it is what I got from Lewis as I tried to combine those two elements. We're trying to get Michael K. Was that a robot?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
But I think what David is saying, forgive me if I have the accusation wrong, are you suggesting, David, that Nick Turturro bowed in the face of Yankee royalty, Michael Kay, big voice of the team today, Face of the team, are you saying that Nick Turturro tuned down his rage out of respect for Michael Kay, voice of the Yankees?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
We love you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Well, Michael, I'm told, has just joined us again, and Louis said very comfortingly in my ear, I don't know about the audio. Okay, so we're going to try it again. Yes, it was lovely. As we have all of these things collide together, I'm pleased that Louis is in charge to guide me through these stormy seas. Michael K., if you can hear me, I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
We have executed this. Congratulations, Lewis. We brought live people together. Michael K., have you heard of Nick Turturro's ranting? What are your general thoughts as someone who has recently shown disgust for the sports fan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Performative. Nick, that's an insult. Performative.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Why did you? We thought you were reprimanding Chris Cody there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Because you corrected Michael K so sternly. Look, Samson. The muscle memory on Chris Cody when he hears that word to automatically assume he did something wrong. You're new to this game, Samson. Look, Michael K's been mispronouncing names for 30 years. He was forgetting names when you were just an embryo, Samson. You know what he meant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
You're telling him to be better. I'm telling both of you to be better because I know how long this man has been talking on the radio. Do you understand how grueling this man's life has been in sports media? He's had a hit television interview show in New York. He's had a daily radio show. And he's bouncing around the United States with the New York Yankees.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
The Yankees have aged him 15 years in the last five years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Correct. He's insatiable. And he wants to talk about sports until he dies. But, Michael, you've given up here a little bit of your workload now. And it's one of the reasons I wanted to have you on to celebrate you. And forgive me here, Nick and David, for making the room for this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
The reason I was actually calling and wanted to have you on was to celebrate a truly legendary career that has come through print journalism. and mastered all of the crafts to get to the freedom and the luxury that you have as being one of the kings of New York in the biggest sports radio market that there's ever been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
So thank you to Michael Kay on a totally overwhelming career that we're here to celebrate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Wait a minute. David Sampson, did you just try to play the game with Michael K? Would I attend your funeral? Did you just try to do that? No, he already said, David, he said he wouldn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I love this game so much. Would you go to their funeral? No, but maybe if it's close and there isn't traffic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Michael, how are you as a gift wrapper? Because Greg Cody is in the other room and he's telling us he's an expert gift wrapper. I don't imagine from among our group of three here that we have any good gift wrappers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Well, Greg, what do you have there? Can you please get in here? Are you going to start wrapping that gift? Are you not going to start wrapping the gift? Like, what are you waiting for?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
We told you go 10 minutes ago. You've been there 45 minutes. What are you doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
We'll come back to that. I appreciate Nick and Michael Gay watching that with us at David Sampson. Thank you. We'll come back to that Wildly Entertainment segment shortly. Nick, before, I'm not going to eulogize Michael K. anymore, but why don't you explain to the people, as somebody who is, like, Michael, look at the room that he's in. Nick is a Yankee fan at the core.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Nick knows the company he's keeping right now as a voice in his head when he went from his childhood sportsdom to an adult. Is Michael retiring? I mean... He is leaving one of his 74 jobs. Yes. Soon or thereafter. But I would like Nick to tell us what Michael Kay is as an announcer to him in New York, as a voice for New York.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
That's the coolest. It's such a cool experience here, Michael, watching, you know, I don't know how much more career you have left on all of the fronts. Have you been talking to my doctors?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I want to celebrate one of your careers that sort of— Yeah, it really sounds like a celebration, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I have worried about Mike for a long time because I feel like he works too much. And so what I'm happy about is that this portion of his career, he gets to celebrate that he works less.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Michael, before we get you out of here, the state of the Yankees, who have had the sport wrestled away from them by the Dodgers and are not used to losing revenue fights. The state of the Yankees is what now? Where a World Series appearance is somehow a disappointment because they've got a cataclysmic collapse in a fifth inning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
for years like off camera and you know now it's like and now i'm doing it on camera so oh but but you're an actor this was not acting this is rage that you i looked in your eyes you were not there you you you this was not acting this you've this was the most real thing you've ever done sir on film
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
And you're not, you won't. And there it is. That is why he's the radio legend that he is. That is why he's always quick on his feet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
That's right. Thank you. Michael, I love seeing you. Happy holidays. Nick, I thank you for being on the show with us. We will have you on again whenever it is the Yankees enrage you. Thank you, gentlemen. Sure, my pleasure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I've got to get your movie review while we check in with Greg Cody here to end your segment because we've thrown a lot at you here, David.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
That's a terrible idea. David, your movie review as Greg Cody tries to get this right the last 50 seconds and give us the dismount with a perfectly wrapped gift.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I'm sorry I'm laughing. I'm just enjoying Michael Kay and Nick Turturro. They can't get out. Watching your movie segment as Greg Cody raps kids.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I need you to relax for a second if you can. I understand. I thought you wanted some energy. No, no, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
No, we need to make you honorary Yankee fan. Look, you spoke on behalf of Yankee fans there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
All right, well, we're going to put some pressure on them in a second, but you're a bit of a maniac, and so I need to slow you down for a second because... That's the word that messes me up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
With some heart and some passion. Okay, let me show you again this video. Perhaps you missed it the first time I showed it to you. Let's get that video again and play it for Nick so that he understands how it is. But there are other moments of me that you only want to show the heightened moments. That's right. That's what he does, Nick. That's what I do. That's right. Just clickbait.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
That's all I am. I just want to get the clicks of, look at this. This is just a moment in Nick Turturro's life when he hates Juan Soto the most. Hey, Juan Soto?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Don Levitard. Go Pee-Pee. Stoogatz. Go Pee-Pee. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stoogatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Samson, you brought us the delightful Nick Turturro, and you brought us also Bob Costas recently on Nothing Personal, where Bob Costas said goodbye to the game with great grace, and Nick just told him to bleep off and get the hell out of here.

Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I think we've gone too far when Nick is out here saying, I've heard things about him that's draped in stuff I don't understand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
No, I don't want to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Look, I don't want to talk anymore about slandering Juan Soto because Nick Turturro has heard some things. What I do want to do is examine... how betrayed Yankee fans feel right now. And if you want to audition for this sports show that you speak of, because I do think you'd be very good at this because of the way you care about baseball and know its nuances.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I'm guessing that you and David Sampson disagree on what the Yankees have done since then, because I don't think David Sampson thinks the Yankees are very well managed right now. Do I have that wrong, David?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stukas Podcast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Because you went icy when I dared to put him in the same category as you when I was comparing legends in this market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Did you or did you not go totally icy when I said that Dave Hyde, when I dared to suggest that Dave Hyde was in your class as a columnist in legendary stature in this market?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Well, how do you measure it? If I say awards, who wins more awards?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
That has nothing to do with being a columnist?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
What's the measurement? Not awards? I'm asking. What is the measurement for longevity? He just gave himself more points for being more at the knee of Edwin Pope than Dave Hyde. I don't even know what that was. Dave Hyde also learned from Edwin Pope. We all did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
that i love you guys and i'm super grateful to be able to do all of this with you such a great professional blessing and to be surrounded by gifts everywhere but none greater than the ability to still do this show with you guys this long into twenty years and still have it be something that people want to listen to so in the most heartfelt of ways as if no one was watching during the holiday party season i just you guys i'm super grateful just us
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Uh-oh. He doesn't want to be bothered anymore. Now it's getting tense because he didn't need that as a result. He needs something that happens. You can see him mother-effing it. Can we bother? Are we bothering you right now? Turn on your microphone, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I don't know that we have to... Let's go out to Amin, who is out taking a busy victory lap. I'm sorry I put you in an awkward position. I did that on purpose. I just thought it'd be funny to rip Dave Hyde. He's a delightful man. He wouldn't care at all. Right. Amin, that's not a victory lap. He's been waiting for you to close this loop for a while. All right, so Amin is there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
We need to get some basketball analysis. He was very excited about the Bucs are now cup champions. They didn't bother to break open any of the champagne. They just left a big cart of things for people to carry in and out of a room there. That's how they celebrated winning the Cup over OKC. I mean, you were surprised, as I was, to see OKC held the 81 points or whatever it was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Give us your update still smelling like Las Vegas. Absolutely not, Dan. I wasn't surprised at all.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Well, you know, mostly you guys. And also the occasional other. I mean, I can hear him in the other room. I can hear Izzy in the other room. I can hear all the people on the outside of this room looking in, wondering, what about the gratitude for us? OLI is exactly right. Billy, what have you placed behind me here? Because I do want to get to Greg Cody. There's so much I want to get to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay, very well done. He's running in place. Very well done. That's the second time that's happened to you. You can't tell whether it's push or power that you're pushing. I mean, yes, you need to be a little more tired when doing this. The whole bit is... I'm Doc Rivers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And it's the only guy in the league that I thought, yeah, he's probably got a throat guy. I'm doing lunges. Yeah, okay. I'm lunging, Dan. All right, good. Who else would have a throat guy? When Doc Rivers said that with that voice, when Doc Rivers said that, I thought to myself, yeah, that's why his voice sounds like that. He's been seeing the throat guy. Apparently not enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Milwaukee, what do you make of them all of a sudden playing better? Weren't you talking about their schedule yesterday or two days ago?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Wow, really? Baby! Really? You could have been more subtle than that, Doc. If you're going to argue with Amin El-Hassan, you could be more subtle than that. Tell Amin what you really think about his take from yesterday that the Bucs haven't turned any corners. It's off schedule.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
See you through. Yeah, we really appreciate that. I asked for Doc Rivers to berate Amin El-Hassan. Instead, he made an eloquent argument on behalf of what Amin said yesterday. Hey, Amin's a great guy. Okay, thank you. Appreciate all your help. I wanted Doc Rivers to rip what Amin said yesterday. He's like, no, let me offer some context and be totally fair to what Amin said yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay, get out of here. I don't want to hear from you anymore. I don't need your nuance anymore. Izzy, I'm sorry you were interrupted before we were saying where it is your allegiances went. Mike Ryan is proudly trotting you out here as the symbolic face of South Florida. I've moved from basketball to hockey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I want to get to Greg Cody gift wrapping. I want to get to... Amin and Izzy have all sorts of takes that they are firing. Oh, now Tony's here too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
But this is one of the things, though, that is so cool about how fandom grows up and how you get spread thin as a parent and where it is. that you outgrow sports or don't or can't. The idea that the Heat lose to the Pistons and symbolically you're like, those three guys losing to the Pistons, it doesn't mean anything, regular season playoffs. Oh, Jimmy was really good. This is probably all over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
This probably doesn't have a chance. And then you tune into the other game and what you're getting, because it's not the Pistons, is... No, this is going over there and beating them at their game now where they score the five goals and they never lose when they score the five goals.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And you beat them there six to five after making sure that they saw you celebrate all offseason with the trophy that Canada would like very much for Florida to give up at some point. The bigness of what it is the Panthers felt like made the heat feel small comparatively because...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
One of the victories felt like it mattered, and the other one was just sort of signaling, again, the redundant end to an era here, really, because if Mike's out here publicly for two years, stop with Jimmy Bam Tyler, it's not good enough. Like, you've lost one of your chief fans to hockey.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Everybody wants to get their shots off. They're all in the other room waiting to get their shots off while I profess my gratitude to this group of people. that is right here, sitting with me right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Don't you guys sort of feel, though, I mean, I'm sitting the other day and you've got at my side on their podcast, the OGs, you've got Udonis Haslam and Mike Miller, whose bodies are just sort of broken from like working at that military complex across the street where they're saying even 2010 to 2014, hey, that wasn't fun. Like none of that was fun. Going to work, pressure, pressure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And we're being run into the ground. to create the League of Player Empowerment that would then allow 10 years later for Jimmy Butler to do, for maintenance in general, to be around a program. You do understand that the power shifted when Pat Riley went to Vegas and LeBron went somewhere else. Like the power of all that shifted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
So how can we use them for our entertainment now as employees of this company who serve... I wouldn't phrase it that way. Well, let's start with a meme. Let's start with a meme out there, shall we? Let's give Amin a microphone and let's get him to celebrate whatever it is that he wants to celebrate here in a victory lap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I can't disagree with you there. That part... That part is where you can just drag the NBA for load management because if you compare my toughness to hockey players, the military is going to pale. Like, if you're doing it as hockey players are the standard for what toughness is, then you're asking an inhumane standard from what it is you're expecting from the bodies that play in those uniforms.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Whoa, they're another columnist. Take right there. Because why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Because I don't know, he was in Vegas stealing company money and he went for that cup that the Bucs surprised me yesterday. I didn't know that OKC could be held to 81 points. I didn't know that was a thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Yeah, but it's a very important cup that not a lot of people care about, and then the people who do care about it get very mad at the people who don't care about it for not caring about it enough, even though it's an invented, contrived cup to make us more interested in regular season games that the players sit out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I would like everybody, all right, hold on a second. This is what happens when I cancel the fine bucket. I can't get control. Now I don't want to see this guy. All right. Hold on a second. Let him speak. I don't mean... You're coming over and you're talking to the official. Right now, I've thrown the flag and I want to clear everyone out. You yelled timeout. Nobody acknowledged your timeout.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Soon after, I showed... You know what? This is the first thing I'm going to do. OK, and I'm not going to I'm not going to abide anything. I'm just throwing down law here. OK, I mean, you're going to leave the room. Oh, no, no. Hold on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, just we'll revisit this because this is real and it's the holiday spirit. You're going to leave for a second. Now. Well, can I hear the rest of the thing before I leave? Amin? Well, how does he know? Amin, I need you. There's a monitor out there. It's because you're going to say something about me after I leave. Amin, I'm on the national airwaves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
You'll find out about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Amin, I need you to leave the room now. And it's only because you're not white or Hispanic. I don't think you can say that. Well, I already said it. Now, hold on a second. Izzy, I also need you to leave the room. I didn't even get to say anything. But Izzy, it's because you're gay. What? Oh, wow. I mean, fine, I guess. No, fine, I'm going to get to because we're bringing back the fine bucket.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I'm going to bring back the fine bucket and now there are going to be rules that people abide by because it's gotten out of control where a sports show just broke out
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I expressed gratitude for everything and everyone that was here. And a sports show just broke out around a hugely defensive Amin El-Hassan angry that hockey has overtaken basketball in this town.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Which is not even true. But wait a minute, Mike. Mike? Mike, you don't get the last word just because he's out there. I can step out, too. You go, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
You go out there. Make up with him because you guys were shouting at each other. And for some reason, I don't want to talk to him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
It is. Like, that was so rude. I need help with everything that's happening here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Does that influence the rankings, Billy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
If we paired his Dolphins at 50 with Cody's 50... Tim's at 50. He got dolphins? He's back, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
How about that? Doc Rivers learning from Darvin Ham and the Lakers celebrating with champagne. There are photographs out there of champagne unopened because the Bucs just won and then didn't do any celebrating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I'm saying if I put them next to each other, I want to do a more empirical measurement of whether or not Greg Cody is better than Dave Hyde because our bias crew thinks so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Hold on, this is a good one. Wait a minute, Greg is now scared because he's been cornered. All right, good, good. Hold on a second, hold on a second. Let's breathe. That escalated quickly. The holiday festivities have gotten off to a fiery start. Wow. Again, not what I saw coming. An argument about hockey versus baseball being the trigger. I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Excuse me. Pay up. Chris, can you please tell me what your mother says to the allegation that Greg Cody... is one of the least charitable people in the history of charitable finances.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Too charitable, really. That was just in your ear, yeah. That was just in your ear. Have you forgotten how to do the show? That was a joke told to you to continue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
We're going to go here to Amin in a second and see what his victory lap looks like. But the game last night was something that Amin cared about. And I'm finding a hard time as we just got done talking about hockey. And we just got done talking about how your allegiance is a change for sports. Izzy's a basketball guy and now he's a hockey guy. And Mike's tired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Mike's out here telling you, tired of this core. Done with it two years ago. Don't want to do this team anymore. I've given up on where that franchise is while it's this other one that's giving me all manner of hope. Izzy is the smiling face of changing allegiances. What are you laughing about, Billy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
It was concealed and then it revealed itself. I do think I now know what he was laughing at, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Wow. We'll get back to that. We'll get back to that again. Please use Roy visually like that the remainder of the show where he just pops in staring at us confused from the toy drive at Dolphin Mall. Izzy, how have your allegiances changed in terms of you're somebody who grew up here around me and Cody? You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Before I get to that, let me ask Izzy something else because this will make for better drama. I felt in the last segment, I don't know if the rest of you did, Greg Cody bristle. When I dared to put Dave Hyde at his side as second best.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I don't know if you guys felt it, but there was a little.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay, so let me cover this ground for the audience because this is good ground right here. This is good ground. Greg and I got in a lot of trouble with Howard Schnellenberger and Hank Goldberg and Bob Greasy because at the Clevelander Pool at Marlins Park we celebrated our longtime mentor Edwin Pope as the most legacy-soaked columnist in the history of this market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
The party was supposed to, I think they thought it was going to be a wake. Schnellenberger came with patches on his elbows. And we've got, you know, drunk people jumping in a pool. They've had too many drinks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay, you've got to be careful with Greg Cody. Eulogies, funerals, he'll make them about himself. That's what happened that night. The mayor showed up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
But it was too messy and festive for the people who were gathered in the memory of somebody who was a distinguished pillar of professionalism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Who was angriest? Was it him or Schnellenberger? Who was the angriest? Time for first.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
But I will say that Izzy learned like you learned and like i learned edwin pope is the columnist in this town yeah he's the king always will be the things he says were the things that mattered anyone who comes after him here in this market learned from him dave hyde included but i'm putting greg cody second And he's bristling. He doesn't think Dave Hyde. I think of him as 2A and 2B. Dave Hyde.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
They're competing newspapers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
They call him the rapper. All right, Greg, go ahead and start rapping. I don't think you can multitask where you're rapping that gift and doing show with us, but I also want to do it around this conversation because I want to quantify it. Greg Cody, in the history of this market, when you pair him against Dave Hyde, I think their resumes are largely equal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Greg, can we create optimal conditions for your wrapping? Is this good enough for you? It seems like this is a little tight of an area to do this well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
The toy drive is until the end of tomorrow. It's what I have in my possession at the end of tomorrow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Look, we will do this better in upcoming years. This is hastily organized, and I have made it. I would like, at some point in the future, to create so many toys that it costs half a million dollars because I have to match our audience on toys given during the holidays. But right now, we're at Flanagan's in a parking lot. And we got two days at Dolphin Mall. We got six hours to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
And whatever it is we raise, I'm telling you, I will then estimate that and match it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay, so what just happened? Look, I think that Billy came in here and they very carefully— We are never going to close this Dave Hyde loop, I'm telling you right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Stugatz, if you think he didn't notice that you bailed on his 70th after committing and costing him a meal, you don't know my least giving friend in the history of charity very well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
No, no, no, no, no. Chris, can we ask Earlene Cody, please, how she would describe, if she doesn't have time for us today and can only text us, to give us a word or two of what she thinks of your father, her husband, as a charitable person. A person who donates and gives time, energy, sacrifice, spirit. of any kind to charity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
We will get in a second to this Dave Hyde loop. I do want to close. But why is Lewis behind me right now holding the gifts after Billy tried to produce a segment and then Stugatz for some reason got in. He asked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Over my shoulder, there are an assortment of gifts. They all look from here to be wrapped roughly the same. I think I would have to more closely inspect. What is a well... You guys look. You guys tell me. Pick one. They all look like they're wrapped the same. I can't tell any difference between how it is that they're wrapped.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
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: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
They all look like they're wrapped well, except for this one doesn't seem like it's wrapped very well. It doesn't look like somebody put in any effort here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
So if I eliminate this one and I eliminate this one... Eliminate the bag, yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I'm sure that person put a lot of thought into that gift. Mm-hmm. So it's either this one or this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Telltale giveaway.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Wait a minute. This says from Ricky Martinez.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
What does that say?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Is that like Harry, the guy that was laughing at Lucy? Am I paying? Who's Rudy Rodriguez?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Is Amin ready for his victory lap out there through the holiday party?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Is he ready to go? We'll get to Dave Hyde in a second. But is Amin ready? Thank you. Get out of here, Lewis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
In a second. The Dave Hyde one, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Where are you guys on this? Where should, is he, let me put you in the middle of this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
There's no bigger fan of Greg Cody than you in the universe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Around here, no one thinks Greg Cody is better or funnier than you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Dave Hyde's resume against his resume. How do you stack them?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
At the risk of going syrupy on you guys during the holidays, I am looking right now at six people. I cannot see Roy here and his Santa, stoic Santa face, but I will say, in the most heartfelt of ways, after four very, very difficult years...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Put it on the poll, please. Juju at Levitard Show. Do you shout free play at your television when someone jumps off sides? Room? Room? The whole room does this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Would you guys watch a 30 for 30 on that? Would you guys watch a Meadowlark documentary on why does it happen? Jason Whitlock said, do white people ever do that? Is it ever a white person who drops the ball before the goal line? We can turn that into a mockumentary. We can turn this into a mockumentary. We can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
They like their Cody Tuesdays and to the degree that some of you didn't notice that he was gone, thank you for not noticing because I notice whenever he's not gone on Tuesdays because he's an endless fountain of content around here. But he will be tomorrow for those of you who miss him. We will check in with Tony one more time and I will tell you again
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Mike hasn't given us the real heartbreak of that. You still feel it, right? You still physically feel that's a season you cared about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Marshall. Hold on. If I may, Stugatz, if I can just do this. I'm sorry to interrupt the precious sacred ground that is Weekend Observations. Always respected around here. We as a show made fun of the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and Jessica reminded us a couple of times on Monday, hey, that's a good bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
But Miami's season ending against Iowa State in a bowl for Pop-Tarts is something that's getting the best Miami season in 25 years and the best Miami offense we've ever seen made fun of for ending up in a Pop-Tarts Bowl. That's a thing that's happening. The University of Miami's last game ends as Pop-Tart punctuation that people are laughing at.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
That this toy drive that we're trying to do a little bit at the last minute today with Cuban Santa Tony and tomorrow with Roy, a Roy drive tomorrow. Stoic Santa. Not not going to be a lot of joy at that one. I don't think I'm not going to feel like I mean, maybe. Maybe we can summon Santa's joyous Christmas time and this Roy drive will escalate tomorrow at Vivo Mall. But you guys... Dolphin Mall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
because they didn't get to one of the big games, they're stuck with the Pop-Tarts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You're happy with the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Isn't that the one you'd want to go to?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Lucy, I believe that we should get you all access to the Pop-Tart Bowl. If they're in on the joke, you should be the media renegade who is selling Pop-Tart Bowl to the country because of how fun the Pop-Tart Bowl seems to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Okay, I'm sorry. My bad. There's no T in Winston. My bad. How dare you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show. Did you say it right? Charbonneau.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Excuse me. Vivo at Dolphin Mall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
How would you like me to phrase this? Charbonneau. On the poll at Levitard Show. Do you feel fancy when you say the name... Charbonneau.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Forgive me. I'm just worried. Today's thing, I'm being told that they're being towed now. That's a famously small parking lot in Flanagan's. Now we've got Cuban Santa and our tow drive is being towed. But Tony's still there trying to keep things together. And when I walked into the other studio, and you guys are going to have to help me here, Lucy, Jessica, and Billy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
It's Benoit. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Well, not weird, but just not as fancy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Of course.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
They were all laughing at Cuban Santa's insecurities. All of them were laughing. That's not falsehoods. Billy. Billy. Jessica. Jessica. You guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You're basically saying of the blizzard, one of the great delights in dessert anywhere in the history of sugar. You're saying that the lactose situation on that, if you have that at night, it's not going to be a resting situation. You're going to get the gurgling stomach for the rest of the evening. That's what you're alleging.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
But is that true for everybody? Or maybe you have a specific lactose intolerance here? Like, I don't think that's true for everybody, is it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
There were two things in Stugatz's weekend observations that I thought were worth revisiting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Makes sense. They bring the football, they talk about the football, you can't, and then you watch, oh, look, the cold season, they're in the mix, they're right there, Broncos, I don't believe in them, but oh, where's this game going to turn? Jonathan Taylor's going to just flip the ball at the goal line, and also, oh, shit, right after that, look what happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Yeah, Royce tomorrow. Vivo mall. Dolphin mall. People really miss Royce top ten. Farmed and fabulous. They really miss Royce top ten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
The Colts are playing flea flicker ball and the perfect play goes in the other direction. The dream for any kid playing football in the history of defensive football since the beginning of time happens. It just lays out for Benito's. and he runs 60 yards with the football. But the other conversation that I wanted to have, where are we on the goods and Baker Mayfield?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Because this has been an argument for 10 years between Mike Ryan and Stan Van Gundy. It's been one of the great arguments around here that we've ever had.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Well, but Baker Mayfield's going to throw you occasional interceptions, but we cannot dispute that Baker Mayfield is very good at quarterback, correct? Exceptional at quarterback. I don't know if it's exceptional. No, it is. But it's good enough for goods? Good enough for goods? He's got the goods. He's got the goods.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
All right, so if I may just for a moment, because I know this stuff happens super fast in that sport, just real quick, grabbing, you know, great college player, putting him in the pros, and then putting him through the furnace of, We're going to slice this up real quick. You better be value at quarterback or you're going to break up our defense. So you've got about three years to figure this out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
And these rookies better figure it out faster than faster. And Bryce Young, you're getting a bench fast. Anthony Richardson, you've got about five seconds over here. Let's hurry it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Baker goes into the furnace of all of that and was this far from having his career basically be over before he resuscitated it on Monday night because McVay at the end of a season is saying, all right, we'll try this for a minute or two.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
And now he's going to get, now we're looking at it and wait a minute, that's better than Sam Darnold money. And that's a sentence I just said. That's a sentence I just said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What about Ice Ice Baby? So this toy drive is a bit of a gorilla outfit. Look, I want to say something real quick here, Stu, guys, before we get into the sports-tainment stuff that we need to be talking about. Okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
But can we now step back for a minute and just say, hey, it might take a minute to be the guy who can go 20 for 30 and there might be some blemishes. Baker's going to play in a way. You might get three turnovers in a playoff game and you can't be too surprised.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I would just ask you to step back from all of it, no matter how much we make the finances of it, the important part of the early part of the career, and just know what you're throwing all these people into the maw of, because it's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
gotten faster and crueler about how it disposes people in that backfield when you can replace the running back salary with Josh Allen because he runs and throws, when you can be what the Ravens are because you figured out the finances of your backfield.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Even better than... Let's see if we can get Stan Van Gundy on the line to concede this would be a holiday treat. Two people who never admit they're wrong. Stan Van Gundy and Mike Ryan having to go back and revisit. Did or does Baker have the goods? Yes or no? Because it's been an age-old argument around here. I'd like to settle some of these one day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
i am really grateful for the group of people who have made this startup business something that can exist for three years when everyone's got their own hardships and it's been hard and i just threw a toy drive at them and they're all overworked and they're tired and they would like not a whole lot of like it'd probably be better to stumble into the holidays without more work but now i've insisted on a toy drive out of nowhere so i need to support cube and santa even though i don't trust them with your gift cards or your cash
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
All right, let's see if we can get Stan Van Gundy on the line. But let's go back out to Flanagan's here for the final time today. And I will ask the audience, we're trying to do an old-time radio remote type of thing where we send somebody out locally and you bring them toys. Tony is at Flanagan's today. In the next couple of days, we're going to be at Vivo at Dolphin Mall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Before we go out to Amin, who is stealing the company's money in Vegas, let's go out here to Tony at Flanagan's, the legendary Flanagan's. There are actual toys behind him. That's right. Well, whenever we ask our audience for anything, they always do this, and we didn't give them much notice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
So now we're giving you notice on the next couple of days, and Roy will be joyless somewhere in the Everglades in the coming days. But, Tony, what is going on on there? Give us a last report. I'm mortified to tell you that the group has learned that there were some insecurities involved in Rose and how well she did during your segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Amateur Santa move, Cuban Santa. We are asking again for new and unwrapped toys for the charity Branches. BranchesFL.org if you're outside of Miami. Tony, what has been the peril? I'm sure you've met. Anytime we ask listeners for help, they do moving things. We're asking for building toys, Legos, jewelry, craft kits, educational toys, action figures, play food, tea sets, board games, Nerf toys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Remote-controlled cars. It's a really nice thing to think of this time of year. Just basically one kid who might not have somebody think that a lonely kid might be getting something that somebody's thinking about them. So, Tony, what are you finding there? Cash is not good, Tony. No, no. People, we cannot give to him. No. Tony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Are you just trying to take your shirt off? Is this what's happening right now? You're going to punctuate this segment?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
No, no, I want to take the beard off. Come on. This is uncomfortable. You keep doing this. Pants. Okay, but this is tall. I'm just trying to help, Tony. You don't want to be sweaty, Dan. I'm wearing shorts. I'm wearing shorts. Okay, so is Rose still there? Yeah, Rose is here. All right, can I get Rose real quick? Can I get Rose to just get in front here? And I just want to ask her one more time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I want to see if I can tickle Lucy here because nothing makes Lucy more. Lucy, this is the funniest person in the world to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Say the name. Please try to say the name again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
And I got to trust Stoic Roy to go to the Everglades, Stugatz. You said you made a joke. It's Doral.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
They're not watching us like you do. You just ruined the moment. I've heard her sing it like 500 times. They can't sue us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Stugatz made a joke yesterday that his three weeks of travel this season are equivalent to what Lucy has done because he went out to Dolphin Mall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I don't know. I think this is a tough thing, and I think you will enjoy if we don't collect any. I believe the anarchist in you would like the kids to be unhappy. It's not the kids. It's Tony. Well, is it Tony?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Well, something is happening in the tension between everybody in Cuban Santa that makes me not get honesty about where it is that Cuban Santa is not happy how all of this is gone because Rose stole his limelight. I didn't do that. I mean, we all saw it happen. We all saw it happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
We were dancing on the line. Look, we were dancing on the line. I was getting approval from the room because nobody quite knew. Are we doing something offensive? I don't know, but it's funny. And offensive two ways, because we've made light of murder in the street now. We do that now. Yeah, it's just murder in the street. Hey, murder's not a real thing. These aren't human beings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
We all live in a simulation. Luigi Mangione.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Luigi Mangione.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
What do you mean? That time of year, Billy. No, he's in performance as Cuban Santa. You guys know what that Flanagan's is. It lives on a hill. It's a parking lot. It's a very small parking lot. Some people are being towed. We're trying to do a toy drive. Rose is holding up the inflatables that weren't put there by us. She ruined their property. That's not us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I don't know why she was even back there. But it reminded me of Billy at Tim Legler's house. It reminded me of Billy falling into the bushes as an eagle.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I don't understand what just happened. I really don't. Our toy drive has fallen into a puddle that Stugatz is saying is filled with urine. He is not. But there is another pee story that for some reason Jessica is desperate to get into.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I'm glad I did that. Weekend observations, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I don't feel like anyone understood Navy, do it in the Army.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Talk to the heartstrings. Isn't that the reason that you and Billy say that the Lions had to lose a game? Isn't that team the reason that you guys say that? Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I have been remiss in not telling people that Greg Cody Tuesday is not today, is going to be tomorrow. Greg Cody Tuesday is going to be Wednesday tomorrow. I'm sorry for not addressing it earlier. You should be. Yeah, I've grown. to expect him here on Tuesdays.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
You can't. You were stomping around. You were furious around the bacon that you were eating with your bare hands. Just stomping around about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I don't... The point... I'm sorry. I would say that most people eat bacon when walking around with a plate or a napkin or something. It's not just bacon. Do I have this wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
I kind of delight in the fact that you're walking around with bacon fingers that are covered in cigarette smoke, but I'm not even judging it. I'm not even judging it. I'm just saying I don't think most people do it that way. It's more observational, honestly, than judgment. Your observations, huh?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Who are they playing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Zach Charbonnet, Baker Mayfield, and The Toilet Grid
Amin is joining us from Vegas because he thinks this is an important game. He got one over on you, buddy. Jesus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yeah, well, Tony, see, here's the thing, Tony. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. This has never happened before in the history of the show, not in 20 years. Whoville? I have never before seen a segment stolen so effortlessly from someone as Rose just stole this segment from you. Rose just, what was happening behind you is the funniest thing this show has ever done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
We went from Lucy's roaring with laughter to Tony's solo drum act of there's a pitter-patter on the wall. And the big joke at the end is Baker Mayfield had a 40 burger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Wait, this is if. Look. Look, I need to aggressively make DraftKings understand in a contract year that if the holidays are not filled with Cuban Santas telling you what to bet on this game from a parking lot outside of a bar, if Feldman and the others don't turn this into Tony making some money the next 10 days as Cuban Santa gives you gambling advice, we will have failed as a company.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
We will have failed as a partnership. I agree. Tony, make it happen. I want you make it. I want it raining money on Cuban Santa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Cash and toys. What do you want to tell people about what they can do here for the next couple of hours, Tony, before we go back out to Rose later to see if she can pronounce Luigi Mangione?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
yes we're accepting all toys unwrapped gift cards for kids that are a little bit older um bring those we'll put them right here in this box and you're supporting an amazing cause with the branches uh charity uh thank you tony it is branches it is uh branchesfl.org if you want to just in a real easy way i know uh i know many of you may not be able to get over to the places we're talking about our show is now you know on all over the place so you but if you want to help with what it is that we're doing
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
You can participate with branchesfl.org. If you're local, you can drop off things, unwrapped toys at Corner Coffee here at the Elser, 398 Northeast 5th Street, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The next couple of days, we're going to be out at Vivo where we were for the watch party.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
And so we're going to make this real easy over the next few days. We're trying to do this, you know, in an old style radio remote thing over the next three days where we gather somewhere. And if fans of this show, you have a couple of days to gather or want to just bring us stuff physically, we would love to relay your happiness to kids during what can be a tough time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay, so one thing I wanted to do, Stugatz, because of what Billy is doing there and what you guys are doing in general, we have gotten to the point of the season where you really like making the confident statements of knowing something when you say 15 weeks in, hey, you know what I know? The Bucs can beat anybody and the Packers can beat anybody. Yeah. That's what I got for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
They can beat anybody. And those are two new teams to the they can beat anybody group. The Rams, too. Yeah, the Rams, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
All right. Tony struggled through that segment. And Lucy, holy. I mean, what Rose does to make you laugh, I can't believe. that the outtakes aren't filled with things that Rose has done to make you laugh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
She's filming.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I know, but that was unbelievable what was happening behind Tony that entire segment. I could not have gotten paid actors to make that look like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay. All right. That's how you do it, Jeremy. Teach the man something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yes, let's see. I think it'll fall apart. I think that that's as well as you can do that. Number five, number five, the Denver Broncos. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay, number four. Stu got storming his way into the segment with a Christmas song to knock Jeremy and Tony out of the way on This Is How You Do It, Kids. Number four. The Rams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Number three, number three. I think it's going to fall apart. The Green Bay Packers. Not bad. Not bad. Number four was my favorite. Just Rams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yes! All right, so it's a different version of the same game set a different way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay, I would like very much...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
So, Rose, you got it all wrong? You were talking a language here. Mike Ryan came in trying to support with faux fake. You didn't have it right on Miss Congeniality 2?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Well, I think this is why Lucy was saying the randomness of that being your favorite comedy of all time. Like, Jessica's response... English comedy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I didn't understand why it is that you were showing movies to Rose yesterday and you were trying to get her to explain things. I was watching you and Rose and I'm saying, if someone were filming this, this would be a hysterical language barrier moment where Lucy and Rose are trying to enjoy laughter at the same time, but they're not enjoying things at the same time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
But Lucy is finding Rose being frustrated by trying to explain why this is funny, funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
You guys have traversed the language. She's fighting through it all with an accent. And she is uproariously funny. And now she has replaced Chris Cody in most capable of producing a surprise. This is now two times we've gone to her where she is trying to help out and everything is funnier than what came before it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
She's a natural born star and she's a singer and she's collecting toys with Cuban Santa, Tony, who better have a gambling sponsorship by the end of this segment. Or I walk, DraftKings. Hold on a second. What? What happened?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Cuban Santa. I think we need to ride Cuban Santa's top five into the sky.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Really?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yes, it is. Well, you can't explain that it's a callback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Jingle balls, jingle balls, jingle all the way. I understand. That's a bad spot for you, Jess. That's a bad spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I've got a shameful confession a couple of them around this song one I Can't tell what some of the lyrics are which hurts me because I am so moved with that song that I will tell you and I have not felt music like that in about five years where it just really reaches me, her pain of like, oh no, why did they pepper spray Rose?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Take my word for it. I've seen it several times. Is one of the possibilities, Mike, in any of the hypotheticals we're exploring that you might be wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
But you refused to acknowledge that one of the possibilities here might be that you're- I did initially, but now I'm a man, and I'm doubling down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay, you know what? You've gone now aggressive to lacking confidence. You were cornered by everybody on what your facts were, and you've come out aggressively loud, wrong, and no one trusts your information anymore. You've damaged your credibility. We all saw it. You were kind of faking your way through that. We all saw it, and we didn't support you on it. We all saw it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
We didn't live the lie with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay, if I may, please, because there were two places I really wanted to get here, okay? But I've been trying to get here for about 10 days. I really just wanted to talk about the Bears for a minute, because I know Jessica's so mad at the Bears. And I really do want to talk, as we talk about all the football tough guys, I mean... The Panthers going in last night to Edmonton with a reminder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
What a game. No, but that's a national echoer where you're like, look, I know we're all going to check back in in the postseason and it's going to get ratcheted to another place, but reminding Edmonton on the road, okay, yeah, you can go five goals, but we got six for you, including one from behind the net. It was startling to me to watch the juxtaposition of
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Oh shit, the Heat just lost to the Pistons and I don't care. I'm over here. I'm over here because they got my attention last postseason and I'm watching what feels like playoff hockey because the Panthers want to remind Edmonton, oh, if we see you again, if we see you again... You don't get this sport from us just with a good regular season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
That's amazing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
But the reason I want to get back to the Bears, but before I do this, because I haven't been able to do this for 10 days, and we've got a room, Stugatz, that wants to talk about something.

Everybody wants to talk about it, and it is not a conversation that it includes us, and everyone wants to talk about Wicked, and I have failed at any point to talk about Wicked, and Mystery Crate's going to get it, or there is some valuable... wicked content around how much the people in that shipping container care about. Jeremy's not here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
It's going to exasperate him that this is the day that he is not here because everybody has wanted to talk about this for about 10 days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
And in the background, I'm looking at Lucy and she's gazing at the heavens with a radiant smile on her face at her friend being pepper sprayed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
My wife loves him. He's one of her favorites. Yeah, he's a zaddy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I didn't do it on purpose, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I understand that you... This is the first day in any of the days that everyone has wanted to talk about Wicked where I have three of the four people in who want to talk about Wicked on the same day. Your enthusiasm here... We can't produce anything other than that Stugatz wicked bad joke and Chris Cody's bad impersonation there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
It seems like the other people in that room know they're wicked more than Chris Cody, who's a virgin and is already here to tell us that Jeff Goldblum is overrated as an actor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Well, Jeremy's got a Michael Vick song over there. Oh, no. Song for everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yes, right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Can we?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Can I hear it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I think Rose needs, I think Jeremy wants what Rose now has, which is just a natural, organic way of singing in a way that delights us instead of annoys us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
But it is how I spent the game watching. It is some form of Christmas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I want you guys to imagine me, okay? Look, now that it's been unmasked, now that I'm clearly a homer who just votes for Cam Ward, I will be honest with you about how I watched the Dolphin game on Sunday. It's like this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
All right, Lucy, let me help me right now produce a live what I'm trying to do here, a live radio and television moment. OK, help me do this. Produce this segment with me because I've got Rose out here. We're a bit of a gorilla outfit. OK, we're telling Ricky Williams yesterday that he's got to rain down holy hell on the University of Texas so that you can get into a game. You said that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I didn't say that. I know I said that. We got Cuban Santa over at Flanagan's over here and he might steal your toys. He might take your gift cards. He wants your cash. I don't think we're doing this legally or well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
so far and I don't trust the technology and his mustache and beard don't work right but Rose is holding the camera and he's in front of the camera can we flip flop them so I can ask Rose some questions here and we're trying to do a toy drive at Flanagan's we're trying to get people out there in the next couple of hours Can I talk to Rose, Lucy, and try to make you giggle? Oh, thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
This is going to be so good. So, Lucy, look how happy. Okay, yes, please. I want Lucy cam here. I want to isolate, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Give me all Lucy cam here just as she smiles and looks at Rose because the question I want to ask Rose, thank you, Rose, for helping us in production from what I'm imagining is a puddle in a parking lot because this is not the most glamorous Flanagan's, but it's one of the legendaries. And Rose, can you hear me okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay. Can you say the name, please, of the famous, the Italian name of the person who has been accused of killing a CEO in the street over healthcare symbolism?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay. Nailed it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
It was better than you were doing yesterday. I think you've been practicing. I think you've been cheating for this moment. Can you try again? I want to. Can you try again?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Okay. Thank you, Rose. I appreciate it. Luigi Mangione.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Now we're getting it.

The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
She has an accent. That's the game we're playing right on the line. That is the game right on the line. And bring us your toys. At least we're being subtle with it, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
So subtle. Rose, hand the microphone to Cuban Santa Claus over there. Bring him your cash, your gift cards, and your gifts for toys, your toys for kids.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Turn it down!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Yes, so Tony, tell people to come on out. This is an old-style radio. Stugatz, you remember when we used to do these? Oh, I love them. Yes, it's a radio remote in the streets of Miami. Gather around, Miami. We're asking for your toys. Come meet Cuban Santa, Tony. Today we are at the Flanagan's in Coconut Grove, the famous one. There it is. Look at that. Look at that. Tony's top five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Rose, get behind the camera. tony's top five we're going we're going live so we got toy drive and live content that mike sure was making fun of yesterday man that's a high compliment guys we skip past those around here mike sure knows of tony's top five and he thinks it's ridiculous that tony's top five has such basic observations and i accused mike sure of not getting the show right
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Make some noise, BD.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I accused Mike Schur. He was insulted. Mike Schur, a comedy genius, a giant. He did not get the show because, of course, Tony's top five are the most obvious things. Of course. He's at a Flanagan's parking lot. He's around puddles. He's asking for toys and he's giving you... Those are puddles of pee.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
No, come on. Dan, I am telling you. I love Flanagan's. We're doing a good thing. It's a toy drive. Bring your toys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
That's not part of our promotion. That's just us. Look, Flanagan gave us a space in a parking lot. We're collecting toys. Don't make us look like fools. Go support Tony. Look, take our incompetence, ride it into the sky. If you support this kind of content live on television, capable of falling into a puddle and electrocuting Tony. Bring your toys, save Cuban Santa's life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
No, look at her. I missed that. I've not seen that as video content. I have not seen that since Billy fell over. Tony, get out of the way. No, Tony, get out of the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Tony, get out of the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
Get out of the way, Tony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Top 5 NFL Teams You Don't Want To See Come Playoff Time
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Okay, excellent work. Next year, I think we need to have competitive Santas, rotating Santas, more aggressive Santas to see who can collect the most toys and make it a competition where everyone gets mad at each other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
So I'd like to do it that way if we could. We're going to go to Juju in a second. But Rose, thank you for all your hard work. Thank you. Enjoy the holidays. If we don't talk to you again, you're the breakout star of 2024. I believe at the end of the year, we've got a giant run that has you as the breakout star. So thank you for all your work on the show over the course of the last month.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
We love you. Yes, I'm sorry. I just, yes, I'm sorry. I see a lot of clattering in the background there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Sorry, did Rose break the Bill Belichick story? No, Taylor can't be a star.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Freddie Kitchens coaching the Fenway Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Okay. No, Taylor doesn't get to be famous around here. Les Taylor, thank you. More Juju. That's what I'm saying. Juju is one of one of our growing stars here on the network. And his Thursday Thunder has been hurting. He and Billy Gill, when they give you gambling advice, they want you to win. They care deeply. They don't want to cost you money. It's that damn fourth leg. The fourth leg, yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Well, four team parlays, I think. You guys are crazy. You guys weren't winning the three-team parlays, and so you went to the four-team parlays. That does not seem to be the way to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Thank you. Like, there's progress here. There has been nothing funnier today than the audio audience hearing you talk each time, knowing that you've got a bag full of nickels in your left cheek. I hear it every time you speak. It's my favorite when you're making serious good points. Can you do me a favor?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Ken, by the end of this segment, you nailed the dismount of this show by making a really great societal point that is filled with a great deal of philosophy, wisdom, and unique, a mean perspective, but is also said in a way that makes it clear that you have a bag full of nickels in your left cheek.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Juju, let's do Thursday Thunder right now. Let's play the imaging for Thursday Thunder.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Want to thank everyone who participated with the toy drive this year. We will continue to make that a thing that's less hastily planned by me than this year's was. The Santas got skinnier over the course of the week, but not less entertaining. We went from Tony at Cuban Santa. Very big. Very, very physically big, yes, but fit. And then we went to Roy, who is skinnier or less thick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I think the way we should sell this is by saying not a poop on the street. This bet, we don't promise much around here. We just promise we'll be above a poop on the street.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Forgive me, on the screen right now, I have 9.5 points. I have on the screen 9.5 points.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
So Juju's saying 10.5 points. You're saying Kessler's going over both of those.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
He cares about this deeply. He and Billy. I don't know what happened. Do we know what happened to BBB this week? It took a shit, Dan. Yeah. I think he got them all wrong. Don't worry about it. That's old stuff. Don't worry about old stuff. No, the only reason I bring it up is because he's mad at me because I brought a lot of attention to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
And Juju and Billy, they care about this in a way that's not reasonable. Like, I want them to just make the picks and let go of it and be good with it, but they feel all sorts of bad for costing people money.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I want to. Listen, we're in a DraftKings contract here, and I should tell DraftKings, DraftKings, you want me to be a part? I've never been about commercialized content. I've never done it before. I don't do that. But I might be willing to do it as part of negotiations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I'm saying me personally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Making picks... And putting my ass on the line the way Juju and Billy are, that's not something I've ever done before. That's a big line.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
That is correct. Juju, what else do you have in the way of critique on today's show, on people being mad or titillated by anything we did today? I'm hoping they found this funny every time. If you listen to this just on audio, I'm hoping they found this funny every time I did the way Amin sounded, reminding me that his face doesn't work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
And now we are on...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
The skinniest? Well, this is the skinniest Santa I've ever seen, though. The laziest one as well. I don't think in the history of Santas there has been one quite this pathetic, really, if I'm being honest. She's barely given any effort to the beard, but she collected more toys than the rest of you. The rest of you didn't do anything spectacular in the way of collecting toys. You got some.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Where are we on this? Are we going to come to a conclusion on this? Roy was a pretty good example.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
He does not drink more than Greg Cody. Chris, I was with your dad last night. Can we put this up again on the screen, please? I want everyone to see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
What it looks like when a 70-year-old man who's already eight beers in and he decides to do a tequila shot off of a hockey stick ends up next to David Dwork in a moment of real community, and the two of them throw their arms up in the air triumphantly. I did not have any of that happening at the holiday party.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
It was a moment of soulful connection that I was just shocked by, primarily because Dwork was right in the middle of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You know what? Look at... Troy. Troy. Troy. Dry Roy in the background. Longing. As Greg Cody steals his good friend Dwork, there in the background is Roy staring.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
A totally dry Roy. A Troy...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
No. I can't believe that we have the shot live of Roy losing his friend Dwork to an older man right there, stolen out from under him at the bar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Are you jealous? Are you jealous there that it's drinking or that your partner has run off with a 70-year-old man? Which is making you jealous there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Troy. Troy. Juju, what else do you have for us? Any critique or criticism from today's show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
All right, you got to see it on YouTube. There it is in the shadows. Troy being jealous that his partner has been stolen by Greg Cody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You did well. But I am told that Rose has done better than any of you. Not that this is a competition, necessarily. It's about the kids.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
kids Dan who's making it a competition Rose thank you I don't know do you know where I can find an answer to my question I will conduct an investigation immediately I will put myself in charge of that investigation still dumbfounded don't know how it became a competition uh Rose what is happening out there conclude our toy drive please

You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
The highest compliment you can give in sports, which is, I do not dislike this man, even though he broke my heart. I must respect it. His excellence was such, I saw what those Miami teams became, and he slayed them, not by himself, but it damn sure looked like it was by himself, with him and J.J. Baret on his back like a spider monkey, like a howler monkey, carrying them and beating Dwayne.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Dirk, I'm so tired after 20 years. Like, always the diplomat. Like, stop, all right? We love watching those teams. You can say, yeah, we would have won a couple of championships. We should have stayed together. We would have had a shot. Yeah, you were great together. We loved watching it together. Ever the diplomat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
He is being basically brought to you on behalf of basketball. He's sponsored by basketball. It is December 21st. It's Saturday. It's World Basketball Day. It's brought to you by Dirk Nowitzki and Basketball. Dirk, thank you for being on with us.

Simply Safe's active guard outdoor protection changes the game by preventing crime before it even happens. SimpliSafe is extending its massive Black Friday deal for our listeners this week only.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
So thank you, Dirk. Thank you, Dirk. No, but you know that that's what you did to Miami that year. Dirk, people were questioning you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Don Levitard. Bob Kraft. The only reason your organization is good is because of Bill Belichick. Stugatz. Belichick has done nothing since Brady left. He made the playoffs once. I think at the very least, he should not be a first ballot Hall of Famer. They should make him wait like 10 years to get it. He's an overrated coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
In the history of South Florida, there have not been a lot of enemies like that dude that the echo and the enduring thing is, ooh, I really have to respect everything that was because he beat the respect out of me. Like I knew the squad I had. I knew what I had, and Dirk beat them, and holy shit, how did he beat them? What a great presence to walk in a room with.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
I wish I could carry something that felt like that around. Walk into a city, and it's like, no, I took down your dragon. You were really proud of that team. And he couldn't even move laterally.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Couldn't move laterally and go ahead and recognize the second best player I had on that team in the street. Like, that's crazy what that dude did. Can we do Stump the Meech? It's long overdue. People love Stump the Meech. We've got to go out to Rose. People love Rose. She's becoming a star quickly around here. And she's got some legitimate toys now, finally, so we can show off some toys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
I told them to hurry up and buy all of those. They're making us look bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
I'm not going to match what I already just paid to put those out there. Can you please just, do we have imaging for Stump the Meech? We don't have imaging. This deserves imaging. How do we not have imaging for this? All right, let's begin, Chris Cody. How much do you dread this, Meech, or are you excited right now? Not at all. I've won many times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
You have not won many times. It's an impossible game to win. He's never won. Let's play the first Stugatz mispronunciation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
If I told you you were sleeping at night... Where is that thing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Outside your window. I want you to imagine. Is it moving? You're hearing its ribbit. It looks like Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
This is not great for Meech to come out on one. No, no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
That is someone who's been electrocuted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
It is an animal. The world's most terrifying farm. That is a toad that doesn't have two of its legs. Falls off on its side.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Because? Is it former Panthers goalie John Van Beesbrook?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
What? This is not going well because he's 0-2. It's fine. You're 0-2. It's not fine. You're going to lose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
I want you to be in it at the end. I want it to be close.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
What animal is this in this haunting? It's like a rabbit. This haunting garbage garden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Let's do two frogs arguing with each other in the night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
I'd be curious, Dirk, given how that went in 2006. Like, I know a lot of people in retrospect will say, ah, we were the better team. But you'd have a pretty good argument if you thought those three games, Avery Johnson never stopped doubling Shaq. Like, if some things had changed there, it felt like Dallas was the better team. Would you ever say that, having lost?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Okay, so you have that being the sound of a moth hitting that thing that kills them on the porch because they're attracted to light. That's exactly right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
That's doctor. And then him tased in the middle of doctor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Do you realize even if you told him it was doctor, you would stump him so much he would not know it is doctor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Moneyball, if you get this one, we're tied. This will be a Moneyball. If you get this one, we will be tied, and then we will have a fifth one we can go to because everyone enjoys this. And everything's fine. Okay, I don't agree. Let's see what we have here. Brought up. Brought up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
It really is. It is. It is. It is a frog farm. It is a farm of frogs. Brode up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
I was going to guess protocol. Wow. Let's see.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
It does feel good to win. I wish he'd ever felt it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Let's see what we have here. Give me another one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

This is the only way you've won, and I will grant you the victory if you get this. If you get this one, you win. Can you remember that you say this, though? This one is worth six points. You never win this way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Let's just say you're not going to guess. It's worth a lot. You want to take a guess? You might be able to win for the first time ever. Just take a guess. Maybe you'll get it right like we got lucky on protocol.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
All right. He is saying is a... Here it is. Danism is a more relaxed person. Danism is a more relaxed person. Danism is a more relaxed person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
You've missed a piece.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Disqualified for cheating. He wins because you're disqualified.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
But I want the innermost thoughts when you're in a room together and you see him and you're like, I'm not going to talk to him. And if he comes over here, I'm not going to talk to him. Like, I want your innermost thoughts in there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
So you're pretending he's invisible. You're like, I'm competing with him at not letting him know I know that he exists over there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Well, perhaps I can make you giggle with this and bring you closer to your good friends because insults and laughter are the shared intimacy of our language among men in sports. So here you go. I'm going to tickle you a little bit. Give me all your honest thoughts here at this Dwayne Wade statue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
You can't say that that looks like Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool after he's been burned?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Meech, what are you laughing about? It's just incredibly diplomatic. It was so good. It was so nice. I tried to bait him into it. He wouldn't do it. John Amici is here. Dirk, do you remember ever playing against John Amici?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Amin, can you find for me, please, some head-to-head stats in Amici's games against Dirk Nowitzki? Why would we do that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
He was asking you, we didn't want to hear from what your jump shot was at five years old. We wanted to see whether you could, whether you feel like you, if you played Dirk right now, how do you think you would do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Okay, but he is in my studio in the back row and he thinks he can beat you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
When I grew up watching, he'd hit it on me. But what if you miss one? But, Dirk, what if you miss one?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Dirk, I feel like you're moving all that well these days. 20 years of running up and down at that size.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Dirk, do you have one moment? I'm not talking about winning the championship, but at any point in any of these games, do you feel one moment that feels better than all the others that at the end of a game, something you did where you were like, this is the best that this can feel trying to be excellent at this all my life?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Mike Ryan has fled the studio the way that Amin once fled the court when Tim Duncan roared after making a game-winning shot. Mike Ryan has left because he's seen this face. He's seen this name. It's a 14-time NBA All-Star, MVP, Finals MVP, NBA champion. And when I look at him on behalf of Miami, I think Izzy will vouch for me on this. It is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
and probably the best i've played over over seven games stretch in my life we will tell the people about what you're doing with december 21st world basketball day but i mean just get me the head-to-head stats between dirk novitski and john amici did you find it what a jerk i got him right in front of me uh you guys met seven times seven times okay i must have been on the bench a lot
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
You also held Dirk. You raised your average those nights. I really picked it up on those days. And you also held Dirk below his averages. Like those numbers are not as good as Dirk numbers. You're basically a Dirk stopper as far as I can tell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Tell us about what you're doing, Dirk, because you've become an ambassador for the game, World Basketball Day. You've always been an ambassador for the game. The global impact of basketball, unity through the game. You are doing what now in terms of selling the game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech
Because right now, the NBA is taking quite the hit when it comes to people are saying ratings are indicative that the sport isn't as interesting as it used to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Don Levitard. Mike Ryan's in there, and he's the one with the baby. He's the one who's got to, like, worry about what the future is. And Mike Ryan bet on DraftKings because Mike Ryan bet on us. This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on? Putting up a billboard in Edmonton? Stoogatz!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Can you guys do me the favor of putting on the screen what's going on right now at our toy drive when I was watching Rose sort of hula dance, Hawaii dance on her back, not wearing her Santa beard. No, Rose, this is not how we do a toy drive. Santa does not lay down on the job. I need you to get your beard on and I need people to get to Dolphin Mall, get to Vivo and conclude our toy drive today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Rose, how are you doing out there? Why are you not wearing your beard? This is not, you're very skinny for a Santa. How are you the skinniest Santa that we've had?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Okay, that's very good work for you. We'll come back to you in a second to see how the toy drive is going. What's going on? Airplane over there? It's on the track.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
All right. Hopefully it'll pick up. It's good, though, that we got a fan bringing a toy. That's a good start to the day. Let's see if we can make it hundreds of fans bringing hundreds of toys. We'll come out to Rose again at Dolphin Mall in a second. But I want to play a couple of other songs here. Taylor's Long Past Annoying Me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Taylor likes singing awful songs, and we've given him wide, wide berth on liberty to sing these songs. Mike, what are you doing? He's there? Oh, no. All right, so a listener thinks that they can do a song better than Taylor does a song. Yeah, well, I don't like Taylor's songs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
They're all saying. All right, let's see what Amici's thoughts are on Taylor's song about Bill Belichick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
You're most welcome. All right, let's pop his clogs. Get him out of here. Get him out of here. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Let's see what we have here from a listener. I don't know what this is about. Chris, do you believe this is better or worse than what Taylor made for us?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Chris, you got to use better judgment. If you can't, like, first of all, those songs have to be called Taylor made. And every song we play needs to be better than whatever's Taylor's made. Like every single song. It's impossible. It's impossible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
May I continue, please? I want to play more Stephen A. Smith sound for you because he's talking about Miami. And I do want to get to this Tyreek Hill story because he set the Internet ablaze with something yesterday that I was genuinely confused about its punctuation and whether or not he meant something else. But here is Stephen A. Smith's point of view about women in Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I want to talk some more about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I mean, when you came in here today, did anyone comment on your face? Because it felt like everyone noticed only when I said something. Because I'm looking at you, you look like you're in pain, and the left side of your face looks like it's swelling more as the show goes on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
But you've got some of your teeth look like they still have blood on them. Your mouth looks like it's bloody. Does it? Yes. That's a bloody mess. Yeah, you mentioned that. Back to the well. So on the way in, I mean, I'm sorry, Meech. Jesus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
No, with me it is. With me it is. I think they look exactly alike.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And look, let's stop hiding. Okay? When I see Amin, I often see Meech. When I see Meech, I often see Amin. I don't know why that's happening. Sometimes I see Roy. But all three of them... Yeah, with Meech, it's pure racism.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
So we've... You've always said that. You've always said that. Don't hide behind the hood.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
But we were driving in on the beach because of what Stephen A. Smith says and because there are a lot of beautiful people. There was a man running shirtless with six-pack abs, and I'm like, there it is, Meech, all over South Beach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
God, he looked so hot in that movie, too. This person also looked hot, oily, oily, and... Yeah, it wasn't sweat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And the other thing that it led to a conversation on... Can you trust anybody who has six-pack abs? and doesn't have a six-pack for their job. Right, so not a professional athlete that's taking care of their body in order to make money. Yes, that's a good qualifier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
It's a good asterisk because I'd maintain if you care that much about that, there are other things that you're not caring about that I need you to care about. Like climate change.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
No way that anyone has a six-pack without exercising.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't believe that you can have a six-pack without exercising.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Can you have six-pack abs if you don't exercise? And can you ever truly trust somebody who has six-pack abs?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I would say to you that if you care about that, that obsessively, there are probably other things in your life that you're not caring about. It's obviously a blanket generalization. But if that's something that's that important to you, If you're a bodybuilder, I'm going to think the same thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Like, if you're a bodybuilder who's doing that obsessively, I think of bodybuilding almost as a body dysmorphia, really.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Yes, and I would say also that if you give me a great defense, it's generally going to look like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
He was not talking about Cushion for the Pushing. I don't know why Cushion for the Pushing made an appearance other than Cushion rhymes with pushing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't know what that means. I don't know what I want. Can you guys get for me, please, the sound from the Kanye West deposition? Because I do want to get to that in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And I also want to get to this Tyreek Hill tweet that was out yesterday that I keep promising to get to that I have not gotten to. But let's just this deposition was amazing. And I can't I don't know how much else here was as amazing as this. But let's hear this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And I would say in the case of Philadelphia, for example, you could tell me their offensive line is tougher, or I can tell you they're running back squats more than anyone in the league, and therefore there's going to be some problems tackling him low when they have that offensive line also that is very good and very strong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
You guys cut that short. He then put a mask on and it was a wrestling mask and he started doing it that way. And you guys said, I ruined things and you're smiling happier than I've seen anybody smile at metal art media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I've read some stuff recently about because one of the things that he said, I'm the richest black man in the history of the world. As he continued to talk on some things that can almost easily be clinically diagnosed from afar as something in the realm of manic or bipolar, the way that he cratered.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Adidas as a sneaker business because of the crazed anti-Semitism and other things that he was doing. And he was so valuable to Adidas. I saw that they gave a lifetime contract to Damian Lillard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
But go read, I'm forgetting where it is that I saw it, a story about the way that Kanye, the way Adidas had to backpedal from the size of his brand and name and everything else in a way it never wanted to because he was responsible for... their entire ability to do business in the sneaker realm because of how giant his brand is. And he's been that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I've seen him be some form of that since getting punked by Ashton Kutcher on MTV, like where his arrogance as an early producer before he was even any of this was something to marvel at in his early 20s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
It's funny that you should mention that because one of the things that I couldn't believe where it is that people get lost in their character. I'd like to have this conversation with Stephen A. Smith because I think it's happened to him some. But one of the places that on South Beach Sessions, I noticed it just this week with Louis Black.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
When Louis Black performs, he doesn't know that his fingers are moving like that because he's putting on a costume. He's been doing it for so long that he's putting on a piece of his identity and then getting out of that identity so that he doesn't actually become that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And so one of the things I enjoyed about talking to Louis Black was just seeing the other side of him because it is he was talking about it like if you would put on a robot costume.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
and that when he's done with his performance if he sees video of it he does not know that he was moving his fingers like that that he doesn't have any any awareness of it the thing that sports television i've told you guys this with max kellerman and all the places where people talk too much including here where it distorts me too if you talk this much for a living you become Colin Cowherd.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Colin Cowherd becomes some form of what it is that he's trying to do, or he has to consciously take that off and leave it at work in a locker and go home because the character will envelop you if everywhere you go, that's all that people are seeing. Like what Stephen A. Smith's life has become over the last 15 years is an insanity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
It's a true insanity where he is just delighted at how he ends up in all of these amazing power brokering places with those people desperately wanting to be around him because he's a cartoon character on television.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
You think it's irresponsible of me to diagnose Kanye after the last three years as some sort of, on a spectrum, he's behaving in a way that suggests this isn't just fame and arrogance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
diagnosing him like he'll reveal that yeah he's but even even if he didn't reveal that though you don't feel comfortable with that assessment based just on the behavior like when you're saying to everybody some form look i saw this happen to my brother a lot of weird stuff happened with my brother at the end and one of them was this like where the mania gets to such a point that you feel like you're the biggest and most important person in the world and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
But much as I said with Ricky Williams, who was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, and that disorder is, you go to the grocery store and you think everyone's looking at you. But when he went to the grocery store, everybody was indeed looking at him. If you're predisposed to a certain arrogance here and then you spike because of your brain chemistry and stuff to a place where, is that genius?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Because he's been rewarded at every turn. When you can crater Adidas with your thoughts?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
That's what Mike Ryan used to say when I was talking about all the Antonio Brown malfeasance. And I'm like, how is that not something that's happening that seems to be brain issues?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And Mike was saying, well, no, there are plenty of people, nevermind brain issues, there are plenty of people who have any assortment of depressive tendencies or otherwise who aren't behaving in sports or anywhere else like Antonio Brown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Because that's what the sport requires. All right, but if I'm looking at Miles Garrett, you know, thrashing around on the field after getting poked in the eye Sunday, I can't say, what is that? That's not tough. Now, I happen to know Miles Garrett is obviously a superior physical specimen, and I'm assuming at every turn that he is tough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Can you be someone who has an eight-pack with no exercise whatsoever drinking beer like Mike's friend?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
No, I counted six. Yeah. I also counted, too. Chris, were you laughing? I saw you laughing during that segment. I think you and I were laughing at the same thing. I'm not totally sure. But you can hear that Amin's lip is fat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
But you guys are coming after Joel Embiid, and he's somebody that I assume is tough. He's playing through all sorts of injuries all the time, and people are always questioning how much he cares.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
All of his analysis. I want him to give the most serious analysis, but also I want him to go viral with that sound on audio that makes it seem like his heavy tongue is slathered on every word he's speaking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
perfectly fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I'm going to get you right now the printout so that you can read some of this story. It is a banger. Again, she works for The Athletic and the news story she's talking about inside Woody Johnson's Jets. It's the most dysfunctional place imaginable. We'll get to that story in a second.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Juju, put it on the poll, please. Can you really be tough if you read books at Levitard Show? Diana is very busy typing with one finger on her phone, texting, getting to all of the information. And I will tell you again, inside Woody Johnson's Jets, this time I'll say it better, I hope, it's the most dysfunctional... I'm not going to say it better. It's the most dysfunctional place...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
imaginable uh i think the best detail in this is that they turned down a trade for jerry judy because judy's madden rating wasn't high enough i think that's the best detail in this story we're gonna have meach read some of the story but uh diana do you think there's a better detail in this story than that one it might involve woody johnson's teenage sons
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Diana's got to go. She's got a hard out here. So unfortunately, she's going to miss Meech reading some of her story. That's unfortunate, Diana. We will talk to you next week, OK?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Thank you. Meach, we'll have you read it in a second, but you were shaking your head when she was talking about the teenage sons and how normal that is in football workplaces.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I have two songs to play for you guys. Taylor has one on Bill Belichick, and we have a listener that has produced one to compete with Taylor's terrible song, but we're going to end this segment with John Amici reading from Diana's story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
There's something soothing about his voice. It washes over me like just soft ocean waves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I send them to sleep. You do, but... You should do the Calm app. Let's do something with John Amici and the Calm app right now. I want to put something together now, but make sure it's got enough facial hair to be properly masculine. That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Two things I wanted to talk about off of what you were saying. First of all, Lamar Jackson was trending yesterday, correct? Because he says he prefers a female scent, getting back to what you guys were talking about on the cologne. But I also wanted to talk about what David said about the next bond and what's going to happen with the next bond.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Daniel Craig was asked what he thought should happen with the next bond, and his response surprised me. His response was just, I don't care. There have only been a handful of Bonds. It's a treasured position. It is one of the great movie franchises of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
You guys tell me if you were surprised at all by something that happened yesterday. I don't know why this caught me off guard, but it did catch me off guard. So beyond Jessica being fascinated by that Joe Burrow story yesterday and just athlete burglaries in general, because you know where they're going to be and their home or their families when they're playing might be unsecure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
This is the Don Levitar Show with the Stugats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
This is a good segue because it's been two weeks in the making. I started a show and then I wandered away from it. I was talking to Tony at the beginning of a show about the top five movies that he'll stop on every single time he's flipping through the channels. Look, they're putting this beefcake up here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
And so I hadn't thought about that in a long time since talking, as I mentioned yesterday, to Anton Jamison a long time ago about just going to extreme security measures with his home and driving around his neighborhood several times just to make sure that somebody wasn't going to try and grab his jewelry in the driveway with a gun. And I just hadn't given it very much thought.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The reverse Belichick. So this is the new Bond. The new Bond has abs. How many Bonds have there been? Four? Five? Ever?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Daltrey wasn't one of them? Is he in the who? Who? So it's been six. It's been six bonds. There haven't been very many of them. But why would he care? He's not getting paid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
How about this? I have noticed while watching everybody get in on this conversation, if I scan the room, even Roy has wanted to get in, but there's been somebody who's been hiding in the shadows but in plain sight. It would appear, based on the look in Chris Cody's eyes, that he has not seen a single Bond movie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The story of little Jimmy Bond. How many brands, movie brands, Fast and the Furious, whatever it is you want to choose, would you stack up and say bigger than the Bond franchise? Just ever? Mission Impossible. Rocky, all of them? Godfather.

Wait a minute. I don't think we can trust David on this. David just put up two Godfathers. Not even the third one. He just put up two Godfathers. He said franchises. No, but against all the Bonds movies?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Against all the Bonds movies?

Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
So it comes up when Joe Burrow's house is there's an attempted robbery that has an attempted robbery. has a robbery and has an SI swimsuit model at home who works for him and people are enjoying whatever that is. But I was not expecting this yesterday from Tua when just out of nowhere, he's like, come into my house, see how that goes for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I understand Godfather is great, but I'm asking for franchise for all time. You can pick one and you've got to win this game. You've got to be the biggest franchise in movie history. If I go all in with the Bond franchise, I'm feeling decent about my hand. I don't know. I'm asking the rest of you to give me some stuff you'd put against it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
But I'm guessing that if you've only had seven Bonds ever and you've been able to keep a franchise alive since 2008,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I love that people would underestimate the theater kid and give him bonus points because he knows a little about college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
It was performative almost. It can be performative. I'm more interested in what she's saying, which is the just general underestimation of a 28-year-old pretty boy because you think he can't know anything about college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
You would think, right? Although I guess people were assuming that he would just be all Broadway and couldn't know anything about Ohio beating Miami of Ohio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I would like to make a pick. Yeah, real. You would make a great flamboyant. Thunder!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
We should make a football musical. We should do that. Who's done that? I want Chris Cody to do flamboyant. Broadway performer, but let's get to Tony's... By the way, you mentioned Dune real quick, and we'll get to Tony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Christian Bale, that was my introduction to him, was American Psycho. I don't know who else is. That is where I discovered that somebody was a good actor. I do not need that remade, but I am trying to get over to where Tony was for several weeks now. I've been trying to get over to that corner of the room and the movies that he will stop on every time, and now we're finally here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
He's not a real person. And who is the greatest example of that in acting? Is it Busey? Is it Gary Busey?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
He's made a lot of movies. Nick Cage has made a lot of movies while trying to pay the IRS, I think. And he buys a bunch of dinosaur bones and everything else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
It was weird. It was flamboyant. They wanted him to not know anything, and the bar was very low on Chalamet. Olai.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The movie that David was thinking of is The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on Nicolas Cage is what he was looking for there. I'm sorry, keep going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
i will be locked in on so look i stumbled into it by mistake surprising i think that's a late ad it was unprepared uh late ad by tony no no that's not these are all part of it all right getting entire franchises well no because obviously there's there's many many movies you're talking about seven movies no but what he's saying he's going off of what jessica said which is during the holidays i don't necessarily associate this with the holidays but if there is a slow time over these next 10 days at the end of the month and there's a bond marathon somewhere you're locked in i'm

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The sequel we don't acknowledge. So, Mike, on American Psycho, you don't want it made? You don't think, because he just mentioned coming to America. We didn't need the remake. The first one was fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
It's been perfected. I don't need to see someone else in the role.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Samson, what are you doing there? What are you doing that you're trying to summon a name to play the game that you know somebody and then you get it wrong? I always got his name wrong. But what are you offering to the conversation by limping in, by floating up with Barry something or another? What are you contributing to the conversation? Tony?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
When is that going to stop being a thing, Tony? Because that's the same for me. Your list. I have never heard a list that has had this kind of kindred spirit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I will stop. It does not matter when. Scarface is in the... It just doesn't matter. I'm going to get to where Frank Lopez is dead and he's offering Ernie a job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
He does not make any bad ones. I think that's the worst. He has not made a bad one. Goggins kills it in that one, though. He was great in that. He's incredible. All the characters are great. Look, I don't even think it's an insult to call something the worst of the Tarantino movies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Wow, Jessica really gave you a side eye there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Whoa, wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
On Tony's list is something that both Mike and Jessica are reducing to terrible. Have you seen all the Tarantinos?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
You guys see what's happening here, right? It's getting bad. Tarantino made an action movie with a lot of killing. It's a bit of a western. Jackie Brown. Let's move it along, Jackie Brown.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I don't like the... A little slow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Bill's, I mean, come on. The tapestry. Tony needs a little action in his movie.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
tony this is what we are as kindred spirits if i was playing right now a game show with my wife that was about knowing each other like we would both know that the thing that causes her the most shame about me is that she will walk into a room where I'm watching Indiana Jones and she will hit me with it again. Snakes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The newlywed game is a game. There is a game like that. Is it still there? Are we still playing the newlywed game? Is that still a televised game show? Is that still something that's on?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Do they?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Roy, did you interact with others on this cruise ship? Hell no. So there was no community, anything? You didn't go to a show? You didn't talk to a stranger? You just stared at the sea for four days? That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Roy won a staring contest with the sea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I do like the Oceans movies. In fact, Andy Garcia is going to be on South Beach Sessions here in a couple of weeks. And I couldn't stop staring into his eyes just because of whatever it is that Oceans does. Big get. There are certain movies. Indiana Jones is obviously this. But that will just transport you back to a time where you could just turn your brain off and be a child.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
And it's everything that's on Tony's list. Every single thing is turning his brain off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
i'm a clown like a clown that's the one yeah that's it is uh put it on the poll juju isn't glorious bastards the best of the tarantino movies and also put on the poll at lebitard show is um once upon a time in hollywood better than the hateful eight and also put on the poll at lebitard show uh is the hateful eight terrible
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Yeah, I like his list. It was an excellent list. I think David's would be so much different than yours.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
If we had to do a list for you, you could do one probably off the top of your head that would be even longer than his. Would you not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I can't believe that you and Tony are connecting on Fletch. Tony has never known one of the old movies that you're talking about. When you go 1970s on Tony, you always lose Tony. How does he know Fletch?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Number two. Nobody here, evidently. Number two. No. Everyone here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Did you not see the general indifference and the blank stares looking back at you? Nobody knew what you were talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I love The Lonely.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I never got it confirmed, but I was told at one point, and it made sense once you're talking about these kinds of economies, that LeBron's home in South Florida, because it was on water, had frogmen. like had people to make sure that you weren't coming the back way either. Like you weren't coming from, you weren't coming by sea either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
A terrible list. Weird list.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Both sucked. It was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I just didn't think, I didn't know to think that Tua would have to need security around his home to make sure that somebody, I wouldn't have considered it, honestly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
So you were saying, what kind of movies are this, and it's your life?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
It could have just happened. It wasn't in the visor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Can you guys tell me what's real, what's not real when it comes to Jimmy Butler, these reports, Bernard Lee entering the fray. The agents, it should be known, throughout sports are real and legitimate power brokers. They have relationships with the general managers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The best power structures in the NBA know to have relationships with the business of agents so that they can have good relationships with Jimmy Butler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The reports that have been leaked now, Shams is saying, and Shams is credible, that Jimmy Butler would also consider Phoenix as a landing spot, even though that would be hard for a number of different apron and financial concerns to go along with Golden State and Dallas and Houston.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The part that surprised me, and I wasn't sure what the motive was, Bernard Lee was, his agent, said, all right, listen, I gave, he's talking to Shams here, I gave you a pass yesterday because I was busy, but if you don't stop putting my name on your complete and utter made-up bullshit because you know you normally aren't worth my time to acknowledge.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I've not seen an agent go after one of the information guys that way. I will tell you that Shams, and I don't know, Look, everyone needs agents as sources, but Woj had agents and management. Shams is players. Shams is also agents, but Shams is a lot younger. I haven't seen. Bernard Lee didn't and wouldn't do that to Woj, so what's happening there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
What Chris Cody is saying there is important, and I think it needs to be inspected, okay? Because Chris Cody has stopped correctly on Bernard Lee jumping into the fray with, all right, listen. And then read. He's got a finger up. That's right. You're going to read now, but let's pretend it's listen because I've gotten your attention.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The fact that you think that has more threatening behind it than complete and utter made-up bullshit... directed at a credible journalist. Complete and utter made-up bullshit is the part that got my attention because Woj and Shams don't often get it wrong. Agents lie all the time. Why is he doing this unless Shams has it wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Can he be right now and then wrong in the end? What I'm asking you guys is this, because... We have seen how valuable information is in the information business. Shams and Woj and Schefter, like, there are five or seven of these people who you just trust that their information is correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
You just trust that it is, even in the face of someone who's got credibility saying complete and utter made-up bullshit. And so I'm asking you guys, where do you side on this? Because most often, or to every degree that I can ever remember, when Shams reports it, it's Correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
But what he's not new at is this dude gets it right. Like the reason he's got the name that he does, it's not just because he gets it first plenty and he does. It's because he always gets it right. It's not some of the times. It's not even most of the time. It's like no real stains on getting it wrong. The value of his information is that you know that it's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I will tell you this. The Heat, as a matter of policy, just simply don't comment on this stuff. But I will tell you, this isn't even Pat Riley's viewpoint, that Mickey Arison, I don't think there's much of anything in the world he has less use for than the reporting around his sport. He doesn't value what the information guys do as truth because the Miami Heat doesn't talk to anybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
And so any perspective that's coming out on the Miami Heat is coming from somebody who's outside of the organization. This particular thing, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The Miami Heat are in a critical time, and we have watched a history-making era of basketball where Pat Riley is trying to get one last time at the throne, and he's so very close, and it's Bam at the rim against Tatum, and now the Celtics have wildly outgrown the Miami Heat, and the last vestiges of what the Heat had challenging the Celtics are this old contract that we know is going to age poorly.

Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
You've got to get something for him before he opts out and you go into next postseason without him. But you're not likely to get something better than Jimmy Butler that then makes you better than Boston unless you involve a third team. What are you shaking your head about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
But I pair this with the reports out of Golden State. where a hungry hungry champion with a star on his last legs insists on surrounding him with a player who would look like Jimmy Butler if you're trying to go all win now on let's capitalize what we just came back from on the Olympics and now the reports are out there well Golden State would like LeBron and Jimmy Butler to join Steph
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Because Steph deserves to have the surroundings, what he's built in Golden State. He deserves for Golden State to go all in with all of their passion. And instead of Steve Kerr getting kicked out of games, management is doing everything they can to get two players like Steph Curry to get him to age with grace.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I want to talk about Nosferatu in a second, but getting back to what are you doing?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
What are the Satan names? Beelzebub, Nosferatu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
But it's a form of great evil. Okay, I thought it was Satan related. I'm sorry. Nosferatu is just the greatest of the vampires. I've seen him wandering around the smoke on a boat. Hmm? On the trailer for Nosferatu.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I thought I saw a trailer for Nosferatu that was him floating over a ship in the smoke. That that's the trailer of what it is that you're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Is there anything David Sampson can do to build a bridge to a relationship with you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Thank you, Mike. Good talking to you. Might take a minute. Appreciate your time. Man on the Inside on Netflix is still a giant. It's still a juggernaut. Is Netflix giving you any information of what a Hollywood titan you are?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Stugatz, I have to skip past some of the football stuff that there's just not enough time for today. So I'm sorry. I've got no time for Dan Campbell. If you want to kick an onside kick down 10 against Buffalo, I'm fine with it. Whatever you want to do, you're going to play more recklessly than everyone else. OK, I'm good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Look at that. Some breaking news. You sound excited about it. Yes, look how excited he sounds about, yes, another year of work in a difficult Hollywood. Gets old after a while, right, Mike? Making people laugh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
The burden of carrying around Ted Danson in his late 70s. It's all very hard to do. That he would take time out to write for our show is a genuine birthday gift. Thank you, sir, as is your friendship. Nice seeing you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Thank you. I'm not dead. Can you guys get for me? It's great. It's a heartwarming tale. It's got a dark underbelly, but my birthday. You're not yet dead, but we're careening dangerously down the path. You look not a day under 56. Can you guys get for me? Speaking of that, speaking of sad people limping through their retirements, I want to show you some video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
that I don't know how Stugatz felt about it, but I will ask the group, how should you feel about Mark Gastineau used to own the record for sacks in a season in the NFL, and then Michael Strahan broke that record in a game where a lot of people suspected that Brett Favre gave Michael Strahan the sack by just rolling into him on a fake handoff that should have been a handoff and just rolling into Strahan and giving away Mark Gastineau's sack record.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And the play looked suspicious. It's just weird for Brett Favre not to try to get around somebody. Just flopped out right in front of Strahan. And Gastineau, is this a card show they're at? We've all seen... Man, oh man, Stugatz, it's kind of strange to see that Aaron Rodgers, everything he's become publicly, has been sort of a short-circuiting of who he used to be publicly in five years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Brett Favre in retirement has torn asunder everything he used to be thought of by America when on Monday night he played a heroic football game after suffering and grieving the death of his late father. And everything since then has been like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
pain addiction and stealing from mississippi and uh you know texting your penis to a woman like it's all been it's been bad yeah it's been 15 years of terrible and so here they are just signing to make money i guess and i is gaston are working on a documentary is he working on a 30 for 30 is this why he's being followed around this is part
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
As long as we know that when the playoffs come, you're going to keep playing the same way. You're not going to get scared.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
So let you guys tell me how you just feel about this, because I recoiled with a certain it wasn't even the awkwardness. It just the whole thing made me sad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Hey, Brett, we got to get out of here. Let's go. It's my job now to handle. I'm the handler.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I wish that Brett Favre hadn't been the combination of both awkwardly mortified and not knowing if this person in front of him was serious to have had the comedic timing to be like, okay, and then just fold it out at his knees. Here, I'll let you sack me here among these Packer helmets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I know, and safety is what they're going for there. And guess what? You cannot be safe around football. It's one of the problems. It's why everyone's broken and now everyone's worried today about Patrick Mahomes. It's why that eye gouge looks like that when Miles Garrett is flopping. The other thing I wanted to talk about that we will not have time to get to. Holy s***, Tampa Bay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I told you, Stugatz, that I saw on one of these, I don't know whether it was Rich and Shameless or one of these things that you watch when you need 24 minutes of empty calories. I saw the promoter for Mark Gastineau's boxing career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Richie Parker, I believe was his name, and how he tried to become Don King by, among other things, poisoning one of Gastineau's opponents because that opponent was clearly going to beat Gastineau and ruin Gastineau's chance of being the big white hope in boxing after the sack exchange. It is an amazing story. And Gastineau is mad that Favre gave Strayed a sack?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
While his manager was out here killing his opponents or trying to kill them with poison, allegedly. What are you shrugging your shoulders about, Lucy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I understand getting your identity from your work. I understand getting your identity from your one great achievement. But yes, it made me sad to see Mark Gastineau limp through his retirement to want Brett Favre to fix that for him. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Sad. And you don't even know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I want that sack back. But when he says, you hear me, are you wondering whether he's just asking Brett? Hello, Brett. Brett, do your ear at our age. You hear me?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
How's your hearing, huh? He's like, yeah, man, I hear you. It's like my father.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Seems like it'd be hard to get 7-7 in that league when you require Mike Evans giving you all of that to do that at the Chargers. And we're not even going to talk about Baker Mayfield and Hall of Famer Mike Evans. Thousand-yard season every season. No one can stop him ever, Mike Evans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
It had a little more boss in it, a little more Springsteen. Not Christmas. That's what's supposed to happen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Keep working on it. That was my internal monologue, though, watching the Dolphins play. It wasn't as Christmassy. It was more horrific. It was more blood-curdling screams of anguish that had no holiday spirit in them. It's just like, Tua, get down. It's not worth it. You've got 12 points. Tua, you're on the road. You're playing Houston on a bike. You're not winning this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
We've seen this game for many years before you, Tua.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
It's Tyreek Hill's fault, clearly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
You said the investigation showed that Tyreek Hill is washed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
That's what you said. No, no, no. You didn't say that. You blamed it on Tyreek Hill. I don't. Do we actually know? It would be great to know today if all three interceptions were Tyreek Hilt's fault.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
You're throwing it to your best player in the vicinity of your best player. And even though Stingley's the one intercepting the ball with one great play and another that didn't even have to be great because you were confused as to why it is that Tua was confused because you've gotten used to his historic accuracy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
The thing that you guys do, though, that makes it a little bit hard here, right? Because I, in some ways, do marvel at how our crew of people would go if right now you just threw us on a field and told us, hey, you got 24 seconds to do anything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Wait, no, no. The thing I want to say to you, when Aaron Rodgers goes to Lazard and you see that when Devontae Adams is out there and he's got his timing, oh, that looks a little different. That looks a little different than what I saw at the beginning of the season. Oh, if I give those guys reps, they seem to have over thousands of throws, something that not everyone has.

Tyreek Hill and Tua should have that by now. But when I watched the Dolphin offense... It is so precise, and what they're trying to do is, I need the most accurate quarterback ever to throw this within 2.1 seconds, going through his three reads, and make sure he doesn't get concussed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And this timing has to be perfect, because otherwise, wait until you see what it looks like with every other quarterback. So this is how we're doing. It has to be perfect, and up, three throws are bad. Three throws from the most accurate quarterback ever. Terrible game. Horseshit game, Tua. Thank you. Tua, will you please get down?

She and Dave Portnoy formed one of the most popular podcasts in America, at least in part, talking about all this.

Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Chris Cody, do you think that we have anywhere in our library the one time that we explored this question? Because I thought it was a fairly amazing— We did this already? We did. Something like this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I don't have that image. Has that changed? I will give you guys an answer to that question in a second, but I'm going the way back machine. Choose wisely. So one time, I don't know why this was, we were at Dania Highline and a group of men came to us seeking some sort of advice about a friend they had who was marrying a woman that none of them liked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
And they were asking us, how do we go about telling our friend that we don't like the woman that he's married and that it's a bad decision all of us agree on this how do we go about doing this and so I didn't know how to answer that question. But the next day we had on a guest on our show who joined us and said as if he'd been waiting for the question all his life. This is what you do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
You get all the friends together. You select one friend. You send one friend in to say it one time and one time only to your friend. It's the only time that you mention it on behalf of all of your friends. You get in and out. You select the best friend to do it. That answer was coming from Lamar Odom, who surely was getting all that advice about the Kardashians. and ignored it. I'm guessing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I can't believe that Lamar Odom was the person who had considered this particular thing when he ended up, not months later, entrapped by this. But I choose Chicken Fry because you know I like a... Well, who did Lamar have?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
I chose O'Malley.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
You've distracted me with a chicken fry. You understand that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
That's correct.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He has still not gotten it. He is frustrated. He says we're Metal Ark teammates. You say you guys have not even renewed my not-for-profit podcast.

You made Jessica cover her face in shame with that joke. She's laughing so genuinely at the fact that I don't look a day over 56. Because the last four years, a day under 56.

Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
Is it that good? Are you sure? Really? That sounds like value to me. Checked it this morning. I would have been sure that was a longer shot than that. Knowing the innards of the business, having some insider trading information that Tony's top five isn't good enough.

Please, this has escalated to an unreasonable place. Please. He wants David to hammer it home. It is the rhetoric of violence. It's the rhetoric of violence. You're threatening in nature. You're being a bully. You're a soft Hollywood liberal elite. Please stop threatening de minimis David Sampson. You know what?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
A wonderful gift. Thank you. I appreciate it, Mike Schur. Before you leave here, I did want to get your thoughts on the Aaron Judge baseball that was dropped in center field during the World Series. It went for $43,510 at auction. And I've got to assume that was purchased by a Red Sox fan, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mike Schur's 2024 Meadowlark Observations
It has to be purchased by someone who is an enemy of the Yankees, has a lot of money to spend, and wants a good joke, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

And that Jessica's making the face that someone farted and that Louis can't be trusted.

Billy, why would you corner Taylor and badger him with, you didn't break that story?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I'm not sure, Stugatz, how you feel about what I'm about to say because I think at this point in my life, I don't think that I should spend so much time scared of technology that when I go outside on my balcony and I see in what looked to be like 30 mile an hour winds, it's super windy out there. I see a drone show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Until after it happens. Let me explain something to everyone who is actively in our community yelling Les Taylor. Taylor, you're doing journalism all wrong. You're doing the insider stuff all wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You don't get to be the insider who carves the lane of I've got all the news, but I never actually risk saying it out loud only to a couple of people so that I can say afterward that I had all the news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You can't do that. You've got to put it on the outside or it stays on the inside. You cannot live in both places, not even around here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He's going to endorse me. Wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Less real Taylor, more fake Taylor. More fake Taylor, because that is a good fake Taylor. I can't report anything. I'm not confident enough to report anything. I'm going to whisper it in the shadows. It's not going to actually be news, because it's only going to be you and me talking.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Jessica, you were defending Taylor. You were trying, before you made the fart face, you were trying to defend Taylor from Billy in the eating area.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Keep working on that fake Taylor. It's not good enough that I liked your audio version. Now you've got a video version as well. Keep working on all of them. I'd like as many Taylors as you got. He's mad at us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
where all of these different drones become all of these amazing Christmas things in the sky. And every once in a while, a drone flies off in a direction and crashes in the ocean or falls on the sand. But largely what I'm witnessing in front of me is a bunch of machinery that I cannot believe is coordinated like this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You guys are telling me that Taylor, on behalf of Metal Ark Media, stumbles his way on... On behalf of Inside Carolina, if we're going to be honest, which is another issue. I want to analyze this for a second. Stop sharing the news. Lucy and Rose are out here getting pepper sprayed. Jessica's flying all over the country to be a part of near the Notre Dame experience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Taylor, we send to events where... Big New York things lose. He comes back and he gets on fine bond before the people around here. Mike Ryan has bought his way into the athletic program of the University of Miami and its insider information chain. And Billy is a proud Golden Panther voice for college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
How is it that Taylor's the first one to arrive on Feinbaum from around here as a college basketball, college football? He broke real news. He said he broke news.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Billy is saying that they had Taylor on for two minutes, and then Paul's like, why'd they get me this bozo, run him off the air? Like, why is he here? I didn't say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
So a four-minute interview because he whispered in the corner office that Belichick was going to North Carolina and told us not to tell anybody?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Why is Taylor on this show before any of our actual experts?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
in normal winds but also is able to withstand 30 mile an hour winds to do this ridiculous technological dance that in some way shape or form i think will have lasers one day to control me and so i can't just enjoy the show because in new jersey drones are doing evil things because i don't trust the billionaires i don't allegedly well we don't know what they're doing they're not
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I don't have an against the spread.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Because I wasn't prepared for this segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You have actively played defense against me today in a way that has rarely been this undercutting. Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
It can happen. I understand. It's been a long season. His body hurts. He's gotten in here very early for God Bless Football on Monday. And sometimes we run him so hard out of the rodeo gate after a Sunday where he's traveled after lacrosse that he runs from that studio into this studio. By the time we get to right about here, he's flat delirious. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
And so it becomes even lazier casual chummery with Luce and Jesse. And I'm going to just try to connect, but this is the worst version of me. I'm really tired. It's the holidays I've been crawling toward these next two weeks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I mean, for real. Well, both of these. Let's get Texas. We need a credential. Tell me how I put pressure on Texas. Get me some names. Get me some information. I want our audience to just explain to Texas that we're a legitimate media operation that is covering college football. And then we'll put Chris Cody on Feinbaum to prove it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Yeah. Jessica, this is the price of fandom that the television experience is better than the stadium experience in winter football weather. Who the hell wants to be in there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Do they get it more than the mayonnaise bowl people?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I think so. I think it's equal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You guys have not made enough fun of the idea that Mike Ryan's University of Miami, led in the voting at Heisman by Homer Dan Levitard, just finished a football season of great acclaim where we can argue it was the best offense in UM history and he was the best statistical quarterback in UM history. And it ends with a fart noise at a bowl for Pop-Tart.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
So over the years, Billy has gotten really good at a number of different things. Thank you. And one of them is rolling a grenade out here and then running away from it. And just because we're not in the local hour anymore, I will not have you just roll out here, Restrepo, punt returner, and then run into the shadows.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
With distracting talk when you just said of the University of Miami's most prolific receiver ever, you've put him in the Berrios, the Braxton Berrios cache.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Of possession receiver in the NFL, that's not big enough to play in the league. That's not physically big enough to play in the NFL. That's what you're doing to him. You're saying he's only Braxton Berrios. He will be no better than that. The most prolific receiver in the history of the University of Miami. That's what you're saying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
They only vote for three. There's no fourth vote. Oh, so third. Would you put him in there? I was struggling. Do I get Travis Hunter there at third or do I put Restrepo in there? Do I give it to one of the Hispanic names at the University of Miami instead?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Okay. I don't know how sometimes to measure quick. I think we all know what size in the NFL looks like, and that doesn't look like C.D. Lamb. I understand if we're going to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
If we're going to do this based on appearances, then Restrepo probably would have never topped Michael Irvin and Andre Johnson and all the other number one picks the University of Miami has had at wide receiver who also played with great quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Because you're a college football insider who could be on Feinbaum along with Lucy and Jessica, but not Chris Cody. Chris Cody could not be on Feinbaum. That would be ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Dismissive of us in general. Well, we're a fading media entity. Kind of sounds like Skipper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You heard me say fading media entity because I was taking it back to trying to feud with Texas over Lucy's dead body.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I want to talk about what happened, Stugatz. Please do. With Aaron Judge's drop to baseball in the World Series in a second because I think it's funny. But can I get an appraisal from the room as Jeremy comes in, possibly with a Frosty, a Scott Frosty, the UCF man song? Ha, ha, ha.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Can I get an appraisal from you guys on... Do you believe it will get any better for Deion Sanders than where it is right now, this minute? Do you believe that what he has built in two years, which gets two players, you know, he gets two players, two very unique players, family to him. He gets them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Both of them could have been in the Heisman Trophy room, and they made Colorado a team that only lost three times. And that was two years ago the worst program in Division I-A for several years now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
So right now, this is, agreed, a monster success. Two years of improvement, correct?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
And so now what, though? Because how much better does it get from here once you lose those two players? Travis Hunter, I did not see all of the players that were playing in the league, but the reason that he was able to play wide receiver and cornerback is because I saw no player while playing football who was consistently jumping higher
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I love that song, how it turned into a song by the end as both a parental warning and don't shoot the drones. But you guys do understand the fear. Instead of just being awed by what it is that I'm watching, how it is that I get to... Dear God, I saw in Ukraine and during a Russia war, I'm introduced to drone technology. I don't understand how it is that Russia hasn't already won that war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Like, for his size, I saw no one grabbing the football because he was jumping higher than all the other athletes on the field, more than Travis Hunter, even though he didn't look like he was bigger than anybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I'm not saying life. I'm just asking you guys, what's the appraisal now of Colorado? Didn't make the playoff, but... A team that we all thought was good and interesting and two years of massive improvement. Unquestionably massive improvement that we all assign to two players who are family and are top five picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
The thing that I would simply, I would just simply alert everyone to the story and our myths, lest we underestimate it, because Stugatz is saying two great stories. No. Three great stories. Deion Sanders was laughed at when he mentioned, I should be able to coach an NFL team. I don't need to interview. You should respect that. I know enough about football. I should coach NFL. Nope.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You're going to have to go historically black colleges, Dion. Someone like you, a Hall of Famer, usually doesn't have to go that route on how it is that he's going to work his way up the system. But historically black colleges is where you're going to have to start. Then you're going to parlay that into Colorado.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
And I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know the history of this trophy well enough to know. Whether a player who has come from a historically black college, like Travis Hunter, has ever made it this far in the business of what is marketing and football to get to best player in the land, led by someone who's a father figure. God damn, that's a success story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Like, stand back and marvel at what just happened. You were a big feeding media frenzy at the beginning. Ah, black excellence is going to make it a culture war. Two years in, he got his family to the league. Top five picks from a historically black college earned. All of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
But Stugat, so as watching one of the best businessmen in sports that I have ever seen... climbed to the top of this business in two years to the Heisman Room when I've lived long enough to see Randy Moss is walking with a cane and cancer. And it was a big controversy when he showed up to the Heisman Room with sunglasses.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
It wasn't received quite as nice as Travis Hunter putting on a smile when Randy Moss was trying to attack that sacred room.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
with all of the style and swagger that comes now with what Deion brings to black excellence in 2024, loud in your face, and I'm going to overrun the Heisman Room and football, and I tell you I'm great, and I'm going to show you I'm great, and who's going to deny I'm great now? The reason I ask the question is because I fear winning is so hard that it will be hard to get another two top five picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
who can help you grow it that fast in two more years. And he should be looking to parlay this opportunity in whatever is the most explosive opportunity of Dallas Cowboys or wherever he can get into the maximum marketing game of, no, I succeeded at the college game, correct? You guys saw how hard this was, right? It doesn't go through black colleges to get here this fast.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I'm in the commercials and I got two of my boys because he considers Travis Hunter family. I got him into the, like, one of them's in the big room, and the other is throwing the football out in a frozen street with neighbors and getting Giants fans excited because they don't have a quarterback. Malik neighbors. Yes, thank you. Because, what's his name?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Because DeVito is out with a concussion now, and that's where the Giants season is. Because they're going to Drew Locke as their third quarterback. Yeah, mm-hmm. Give me another Christmas song. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
That all seems terribly horrific. But, oh, there's video footage of a couple of Russian soldiers and there's just a drone over them. And now they are dead because I just saw two soldiers killed in Russia because drones can do that now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
The only reason that I tried to get out of that, it was not to bully poor Jeremy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Jeremy is doing a vulnerable thing. It is hard. The reason I tried to get out of that quickly is because he whimpered at the start of that song and only my headset did my best. And so I was trying to help Jeremy there because he did the most vulnerable thing, which is I'm going to throw myself in the song and the expectation of song being good. Oh, it's not as good as I wanted it to be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Yeah, go do a better one.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
That was a reach. Well, we drone on Mondays about all manner of football. Can I get to the interesting transfer portal stuff? Because we have, you know, we've been obsessed with football here for a couple of months and college football, and we skip past National Signing Day, but all of a sudden we're the show that's consuming, you know, 16, 17, 18, 19-year-olds and where their free agency is.

All right, so this is where Metal Ark Media needs to do better in general. And I am now going to ask... Billy and all of the resources of Metal Ark Media to gather behind me because I... And Billy, though. Well, all of us. I need everyone here's help. Jeremy's just left, okay? Let me write this down. Yes, please. I need my army behind me. Jeremy's got his Scott Frost song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He's gone to prepare that because now he wants to serenade us with Christmas carols that Stugatz and I don't readily identify as Christmas carols.

Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
But Jessica's saying that is a Christmas song. I don't care. It doesn't resonate for me as a Christmas song. But what I need the army behind me on is the following. Stugatz walked in on me the other day. It was God. Super Bowl picks. Well, it feels like he walked in on me naked. It did because of how vulnerable I was. So, yes, Super Bowl licks. Thank you, Billy.

Because I was so vulnerable because he's walking in and I'm leaving a message. OK. I'm leaving a message because I'm trying to get Lucy a credential for a game. And Stugatz is seeing me. have to call a sports information director and leave an old-fashioned message because we're a guerrilla outfit. We're a pirate ship now, like Metal Lark Media. I mean, we stream on Max.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
College football is streaming on Max. We're on Peacock. I mean, we're on SiriusXM, but she's not being treated like she's a legitimate media member, so I have to make a call so that she can have the credential access.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
should we bring down the full weight of ricky williams on the texas athletic program to get us media credential because lucy needs to get into a playoff game should we have ricky williams brought in as our muscle to threat like hey you know what i gave my body to the school can we get a credential for metal arc media i don't believe we should threaten anybody no threats are
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
What I need is for our group to decide how we should handle the use of Ricky Williams to get... Tell me when the game is, where it is, and what needs to be done, you believe, that we should do to now get credentials when I'm not getting my phone calls returned and it's humbling. It's humbling to not get your phone call returned.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
What is the highest up we can go? Because Skipper calling conference commissioners has not worked. We have tried that and it has not worked. Have you said please yet?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
But we still are a bit of an underdog here, an upstart media outfit. And I do believe that the way you have battered your body in pursuit of covering football well over the last two years makes you someone who deserves to be credentialed to cover these games. You have earned it. No one's giving you any gifts here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Unless it's really cold out. No, but press box and on the field are different things, right? Lucy has gotten a lot. That's where she got pepper sprayed. That's where the real action is. In fact, shouldn't someone who's been recently in the vicinity of being pepper sprayed have earned their combat?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He's supposed to be on with us at some point, so maybe we'll badger him on air to see if he can help us. Let's see if we can get a crusade going for Lucy in order to do this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Stugatz. I hope he has the day he deserves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Yes. It's beautiful. It's leaving it to the cosmos to sort it out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You mentioned Taylor. I saw, and I don't know what to do with this, Chris Cody. I don't know if you also saw it, but in a way that was a little bit aggressive. And I thought, uh, very gently reprimanded by Jessica in the eating area.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Billy cornered Taylor, had him cornered around the cookies, the delicious, delicious cookies where everyone is gathered, and said to him, you didn't break that story. He was like he was bullying him. He was all around him. He was like, you didn't, that story, just because you whispered it in the corner of the office, that's not really breaking a story.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Just because everyone here knew it, that you knew it, that's not breaking a story when you break the news, but you keep it to yourself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
They immediately have a photo. Look at Lewis. Lewis posing. Lewis can't be trusted. He is asking people. What's Samson doing? Kugler is once again secret eating.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
No, I am one of the six votes for Cam Ward. Big shock. Yes, I am. Who'd you have at number two? The Boise State kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Travis Hunter was third. Wow. Where'd you put Kyle McCord?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It's a religious service. That's what it is. It's a religious service. If they have won you so much money this year, if you have been taking... DraftKings does all this number breakdown, all these serious Ross Tuckers running around. They know the things that you think you need to know. But they're not killing it gambling the way that Billy and Stu Gatz are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
How did Big Board Bets and Stu Gatz, sorry, how'd that do this weekend?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
If you are not listening to God Bless Football, you should be because the chemistry that Stugatz and Billy have is real and it is funny. And I just witnessed it during the break when Billy did something, and I'd like to know what it is because I could hear the echo of it in Stugatz's loud headphones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
So here's the thing, okay, and I hurt for Billy on this. Now that there's pressure on these, Billy wants to do this quietly. Billy does not want everyone expecting to win or lose money with Billy's knowledge. Big board bets, yeah. But if you're going to force him into the corner, then he will take great care in the analysis and try to actually figure out how to win these bets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Him and Juju are not doing this casually, and it hurts them. They don't want to lose your money. They don't want to be doing this. We forced them into a corner by signing with a gambling giant. Our sugar daddy pays for everything. So, Billy, Juju, we need you to do the bets. And now Billy goes out there, and people are losing money if Billy loses, but two-thirds of the time, Billy ain't losing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
That game, there was no close second, right? I mean, I know the Saints and Commanders sneak in there and all the games are great. Jets, Jags, it's all asinine. The fact that all the games are close and you're interested in everything and the difference between the Commanders being... you know, a favorite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And losing a game where you're like, really, Spencer Rattler? Really? That's what's going to change everything around for you? But getting back to the Heisman, you guys were good with Travis Hunter?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But he was saying things that were making Stugatz jiggle, this body that hurts after three months of hard covering football. was making him jiggle with delight because of whatever it is he was saying, I think I could hear about Jason Sanders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I don't know what you were tickling Stugatz with, but was it that you're now associated with Jason Sanders' failures because you're the loudest public enemy of this man he's ever had?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Well, I mean, you've got somebody who's under a helmet, who's a star, who then takes off the helmet. And in much pomp and circumstance with voters and handshaking and everything else, we still anoint as if it matters. Here's the king of college football. You asked me what my criterion is, because certainly you can accuse me of being a homer for voting for Cam Ward.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
You are the national face for criticizing Jason Sanders, not trusting Jason Sanders, doubting Jason Sanders. There's no one in the history of the American media that has done it more than you publicly and had your name attached.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
My thing was, oh, that team wouldn't have been any good without him. Like we wouldn't. Would not have spent the entire season talking about that offense. Best offense, best statistical University of Miami quarterback I've ever seen. And that's the reason that I voted for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But I am wondering, while I get into the merits of the argument with you guys, if I shouldn't just figure out how to hand over my vote to Lucy and Jessica and Jeremy and Michael. Ryan, the same way that your dad hands over the vote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Not Mike. But Jessica just said she didn't know who she would vote for, which surprises me if she enjoys the argument.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Do we bring him back now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Have you guys read anything interesting about this story that is Nevin Shapiro? You guys were all as surprised by this as I was where we're like, wait a minute, what? Biden did what for who for why? For where?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Okay, but have you guys done any follow-up reading or it's just like Biden pardoned the Ponzi scheming?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
So just, okay, time served. It's fine. Never mind about that whole Ponzi scheme thing. And the last four years you've been at home, even though you're one of the most traitorous things in the history of fraud in this city. A city replete with plenty of fraud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
The idea, that's a good moral question just to everyone in the audience. No matter how awful your son, would you pardon him? I'm just curious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Dad, oh, pardon at the end. With that one last power given to you by privilege. Yeah, you're above the law, kid.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
PTI. They swung you. They swung you by the ankles at me to defeat me with their own Fox network. And at the end, before the grave, as I lose my mind, I will pardon you. You disappointment forever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I mean, this school brought in John Ruiz. Like, you're fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
So hold on. I want you guys. So you, as I try to figure out how to give my Heisman vote over to Lucy and Jessica, I can't help but see the disappointment in their eyes that Dan Lebitard, alleged journalist, voted for Cam Ward. One of six. You're disappointed by me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
My father gave back his vote. I was mad at him for doing it. Otherwise, we'd have two votes. Otherwise, I could just give the vote to both of you, and then you could just vote. Because you think I have, in one of the closest votes ever, Metal Ark Media represented your thought process on what this voting should have been in a way that was biased. It was homerific.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Cam Ward would have finished a bronze medalist for the both of you. If that. If that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I will lose my vote if I said that publicly. Oh, that didn't happen publicly. Never happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
My vote was wasted. Do we have a song here? I want to talk for just a second because something gets overshadowed in the noise of the last two seasons about college football and where it is that Colorado is an overwhelming success, even if it doesn't end up in a playoff run. Let's transition here with a Transfer Portal song, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
So why is it that I am both delighted and horrified by how much Jeremy enjoys parading around with a couple of canned hams dancing as if he's got a top hat on about the portal? It's a bit long. But here's the thing, though. I so appreciate the vulnerability of, hey, I'm going to put myself out there with song. But then he chooses that song.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But did you guys feel the Christmas in that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
So you guys, that didn't feel like Christmas to me. Are your Christmases different than my Christmases? Yours are cold Christmases. Help me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
What song do you think that is? Man with a Bag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It just feels like the 50s. It's Santa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yes, I'm doing what Stugatz is doing, which is it just feels like the 50s. It's not a winter time. It's the time of my grandparents.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Are your Christmas feelings, Lucy and Jessica, you are in the middle of the holiday season. You're surrounded by Christmas fair. Does it feel like Christmas to you in Miami, given that it's 69 degrees on most days? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I do not believe that there is anything more criminally underappreciated at Metal Ark Media than Jessica and those desserts made with the finest of things. A little too healthy. During Christmas season. A little too healthy, but don't taste healthy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
That's the important thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
No. No. It sounds like a playful sort of central Santa from the 50s. Oh, what? Central Santa? 15-yard penalty. He was throwing his hip out as he... Santa's coming... Look. Santa's what? Santa's feeling... Santa's doing what? Santa's feeling himself. He has Super Bowl licks. Santa's doing what? Santa's coming out of... Santa's coming...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Out of his house, and he's throwing a hip over, like he's starting to dance. You're imagining Jeremy in a Santa hat, are you not? He's trying, he's got a microphone, he's cheesing, he's maximum cheesing it up on Christmas. He's parading down a walkway, coming out of his house, singing in a camera as Santa, and he's throwing out a hip, and it's a little sensual.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It's a confident hip from a sensual Santa.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yes. It's just hard to admit. But yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Well, yes. Also agreed. But those two ignorances on my part make me not like the song. So, now where are we?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Well, and then it makes me- It's a show tune. Then it makes me rush at the song with criticism, makes me rush at the song with criticism because I didn't get it. I didn't get my own show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
All right, I'll be back. Get out of here. Good. That's how you do a Christmas song. Thank you. Jesus. What is this? Learn a little something around here. It's not moving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
That's right. God bless football. They have the Sims that only football fans want.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
He is exceptional on God bless football. He's all right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
He's exceptional. Andy comes on knowing he's exceptional. And I've got the tattoo of Kyle Shanahan to prove it. I really know my stuff. We're best friends. I know how football's evolving. I'm a great analyst. He absolutely is. And then Billy undercuts him because Billy's the Duke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Thank you. Not dead. I'm not good. Yes, not dead. That's what Stugatz has been saying. In fact, it's been a combination of not dead and when I was walking out there and somebody asked me, how's your birthday? Stugatz answered, getting older. And it's like, yeah, true for all of us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Pretty much a universal truth. That's right. Getting older. All of us. Sucks. It's the one thing we all agree on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Imagine the clicks. Right. Okay, so now would be a good time to do that? No. Please don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Billy, in the middle of that. shouted and got Stugatz's attention. This delighted Stugatz so much because in the middle of your football Sunday, there was a play in Texans-Dolphins that Stugatz was going to make matter or something because A-Chan chased down at the six-yard line and turned a short touchdown on a two-way interception into just a field goal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And Stugatz was ready to make Hustle the determined spirit of the Dolphins roaring back to in the mix. And in the middle of that, I, not unlike Billy, who has his own Sanders, and I've got to admit it, I'm jealous of it, was hoping that when people saw Tua running away from the pick six like a coward, he's doing the Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
He's doing that thing Dan has recommended for 15 years, which is when a quarterback throws the ball that he just run off the field because it's too dangerous out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Too soon. All right. You know, I got to be honest with you, okay, because it's weird. It's just we are watching him in a way that is so paternal that I'm not kidding when I say I'm watching all the rest of the football. But there was only one play yesterday that felt to me like somebody running alongside but out of the way of the running of the Bulls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It was like watching Tua in uniform just run safely away from the running of the Bulls like we want him to, like he should, like he needs to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It is weird to see Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen play that way. Yes, where everyone else has to. Even Patrick Mahomes is eking to 13 or 12 and 1. on his knees, and every game is, I need to run for six and a half yards on third and six.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
You guys are agreeing with my analysis on what the Chiefs have become as it used to be Tyreek Hill and Kelsey, and now it's just, can Mahomes get us four and a half yards on third and four?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Billy, you were excited. In the middle of that Texans game, until which of the Tua interceptions broke your heart as the guy who two years ago bought a Tua jersey because you want to believe in this team? And again, another season, I think you're willing to say, falls at your feet or in the mix? Six and eight in the mix?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I know no one wants to blame him. I'm sorry it took me this long to get here. And yes, because, Billy, thank you. You were trying to produce me from afar by just simply texting me. And I should have taken the cue, and I'm sorry I didn't. That you were now investigating everything with Tua.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
So we're at the stages of Billy Gill, the Duke, number four internationally ranked insider, is officially investigating whether we know enough about football to know whose fault the three interceptions were yesterday. Tua's or Hill's?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
All right. Can I also just can we laugh for just a moment on the idea that there is a penalty for jumping through the end zone to honor Marshawn Lynch, who deserved to celebrate that way after the single greatest, toughest run in the history of professional football?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
That if you were to penalize that, that you should also penalize that throughout my football Sunday, I saw giant men winding up from miles away to just throw punches at footballs directly. That one of them hit a chin on the way to its football, but that you just have giant men out there now just throwing giant punches.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And in at least three of the games, Nick Chubb dropped one of them, and he never drops the football. And so I'm like, we're good with that? We're good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
We're good with guys just running across the field and punching people as hard as they can. And sometimes they hit the football and sometimes they're going to hit you on the chin. We're good with that, yes?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Okay, all right. So I need both of these investigations to continue throughout the show today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Did you guys enjoy or care about the Heisman Trophy going to Travis Hunter? We spent the season talking about it. We love doing this. MVP of football, most valuable player in college football. And Cam Ward, we spent the season talking about him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And then Travis Hunter, well, first of all, in the streets, Shador Sanders is throwing the ball, a football in the cold in the New York streets with neighbors because Shador Sanders is about to dominate the draft. And so is Travis Hunter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
That's correct. It was in the streets of New York. But Colorado, in some ways, and these two players have resuscitated a program. And Travis Hunter just won a Heisman over a running back who'd had a better season than the last three Heisman-winning running backs. And it's right to be heard about, like,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
okay, I get it, but I thought we usually gave the award on merit, not, oh, this guy's more unique than I am, and therefore that's more valuable than what I did at Boise State.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Now, I like these guys. I like their information. I really do. But you have to understand that there are a whole lot of people in sports who will look at these two guys, Jordan Brenner and Peter Keating, and say, what do these knobs and all their math and all their numbers and all their data, what do these knobs know about sports that they can tell me who are underdog values?

We couldn't get Peter Keating to get his technology right last week. He was upside down. He was confused. His sound didn't work. What does he know about anything in sports? Well, I will tell you that these guys, and Greg Cody and Stu Gatz every week around here, they're anti-information. They're anti-any new data. These guys, for 20 years now,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
have data to draw from, and they believe in certain fundamental truths. So thank you again for being on with us. We will get to some of the things happening in sports in a moment. But Jordan, if you can explain basically, how do you feel about a whole lot of people in sports just saying, shut up, nerds.

That's what's happened, right? The evolutions are such that I'm watching my second baseman pull a card out of his pocket so he can stand in exactly the right place. And then I see a line drive hit there. You're making it so scientific that you are taking some of the joyous spontaneity out of it.

Peter, can you tell me what you have seen in sports that the math has changed more recently? Then the stupidity of, holy, we were playing basketball the wrong way the entire time, trying to get the most contested two instead of the least contested three.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
And Amin, both of whom say, and they've shown it, they've proven it, that they can fake a take on just about anything, especially in their area of expertise, if they have not seen the game the night before. We want to play first fake with Amin and...

Guys, this is a little bit dry. The numbers are dry. Can we just do anything to make it a little more interesting in video, please? Mike, what do you have? You seem to be all excited here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You're finding yourself give the take that LeBron James and Giannis have now won and cared about this tournament, and therefore this will be a requirement for future greatness. That's ridiculous.

Andrew Hawkins and I think I need to kick them out of the room in order to do this I don't think that I don't think I think that needs to happen in the other room uh in the penalty box and I need to ideate uh with you guys uh on what it is that we're going to do on first fake what is that what are the topics going to be there's got to be a football topic there's got to be a basketball topic they have no information and they're going to be able to fake it because I do believe Andrew Hawkins I believe this game's too easy for Andrew Hawkins not unlike with Matthew Stafford

Guys, before you get out of here, again, Jordan Brenner and Peter Keating, The Underdogs is the name of the podcast. We are out of time, but your Underdogs of the Year, that episode that you're doing, what are the highlights so people can go get it over there? Because we've run out of time here, and I didn't leave enough to actually get into that as subject matter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
Well, we'll just have to come back then, Dan, but...

Ah, there. OK, we'll get you on to argue with Greg Cody then. And I think he would have the winning argument. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate the time. Thanks, Dan. Thank you. Happy New Year. Likewise.

The Big Suey: First Fake
that he gets bored by the easy elements of this game, and he can do the fakery better than he can do just, you know, whatever, going out there bored and giving you football analysis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
I like the upstart. I like the novice. Andrew Hawkins has a polish that Amin doesn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
Well, we need to have him. You know, I believe there's a competition going on now at Metal Ark for all the space and all the money and all the places where it is that we have to fight for the things that we believe in. And I believe when I call Andrew Hawkins a novice, I'm talking about around here. I mean, we've got a sage veteran who's been doing the take game and making fun of the take game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
He's old and tired, man. Look at his face. Yeah, what happened? Is he all right? Is he all right? I'm just saying, Andrew Hawkins comes in here. He smells good. He smells like confidence. He smells like I'd like to do all of the things better than these people around here do them. He's not coming here to be a peer. He's coming here to get past us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
Okay, you can do all you want in terms of supporting all the things Andrew Hawkins is. I believe he is those things as well. I also believe that he's about to dust Amin. No, says Tony. All right, let's take our bets now before we do this, because we're going to get to this in a second. But go ahead and take our bets. Just tell me who you got, who you got, one name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

All right, so this is pretty dramatic. Do you guys have a football question? I want to go football with both of them? Basketball with both of them? And then I want to go to a subject that neither one of them know anything about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
All right. Let's go to the other room and see what we have here. And again, this is all born of the Chargers beat the Broncos last night, 34-27. Fun game. Charger defense all of a sudden. Can't do anything right. There's an advantage to going first or going, there's an advantage to going second here. I will go out to you first, Hawk, on your area of expertise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
Can you please explain to me why Jim Harbaugh has been good at coaching defense, but why that defense, which was best for points per game the entire season, the last two games all of a sudden is getting shredded pretty good?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
I think Hawkins concedes defeat there because Amin spit in his face with a swollen lip. They take notes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
Hawk, would you concede that Amin won that because he said, take notes in your face and spit spittle in your face?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
All right, so 1-0 Amin, and it wasn't notes. It was notes.

Pablo, your thoughts? Do I have a ruling here? I don't love that on first take they're sharing a microphone. I think we need to do better than that. In the next version of this, we will make sure to produce this slightly better than I'm producing it right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
This is the thing. Amin has been trying to hide his face for two days. Have you not noticed he's done the show with his back to the shipping container because he's looking at me? He's never been so attentive on me in his life, and it's just because he doesn't want people to see the scar on his face. Pablo, how's this going so far? We need a third topic.

Were your feelings hurt by me underestimating you in this matchup? Everybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: First Fake
Yes, I want. You want to try again? You want a third chance on. Do you want a third chance on a topic neither one of you know about so that we can do this correctly? Yes, you're both in a costume. You're both characters.

We got to change the look at me, Louis, to just general name dropping. The look at me, Louis, has taken on too much of an amorphous definition.

He wasn't saying that to look at me, Louie, though.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I had everything that I wanted professionally. I had arrived at whatever it was, was beyond the destination on the expectation for my dreams because. I had the voice that I wanted in South Florida and being a voice in South Florida is all that I wanted. And drive time in South Florida was better than 10 to 1 in South Florida because I had the audience driving home and that's what I wanted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I know Mike has referred to some of the stuff that came before this as spicy, but I view as this time ahead, our most tumultuous time together because we were growing more than we had ever grown. And I was probably unhappier than I'd ever been while we were doing this during the period ahead, because I am not good with change.

The Palmetto I-95 people stuck in traffic on their way to something. I will tell you, though, that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
The determining factor for me on this was simply Mike saying he wanted to be home to raise a daughter who was not yet born, that he wanted to have a life where he had an afternoon or a lawn that he can enjoy during sunshine time on a weekday with his daughter, which was not possible the way that we were doing it. So that was sort of the tiebreaker on the differences between me and Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
But also one of the things that Mike is pointing out that is material here, at 4 o'clock the whole sports day is played out in front of us so I don't have to respect everything that much. It's all been chewed up and everyone has already talked about everything. Now at 10 o'clock I've got

People telling me, an assortment of executives who now feel comfortable telling me how we should lead off the show, what the skeleton of a show should be, what's your game plan on how it is you're handling this voice of ESPN stuff at 10 a.m. versus just do whatever you want because you're fooling around and you're not caring about what sports topics of the day need to be chewed up.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Well, but we already had him from Fusion though. We already had, we were bringing him with us. I really wanted it to be a bare bones, no suffering thing from Ride Home and I was just asking him for a favor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And I had a lot of change happening in my personal life and the professional life had a change that Stu Gatz and Mike were advocating for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
that I was resistant against, and the resentment was an undercurrent in just about everything we were doing because I was fearing that we were ruining what made the show special by grabbing at more and more things that we wanted, that we needed, that the show benefited from, but was making my daily life a little more unhappy and uncertain than I wanted it to be, given that all our dreams were coming true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Well also it did better what I was trying to get done which is have the TV product be something that was just observing the radio product where Making fun of it. What we were doing with Fusion was also on remote. All of this stuff is done more difficultly if it's on remote. So Fusion was in Doral. These folks were in Washington who were producing our show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
But I really did just want them to be observers. One of my favorite versions of our show, I wish we had more camera equipment, was what we were streaming on the internet with just those tiny little cameras beforehand. any of the TV production people got here because I've told you that I think some of the important stuff that is in the ingredients of what it is that we do is the intimacy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And when you start reaching into the environment with production elements that are inauthentic or televised, you sort of distort and dilute the intimacy. And one of the reasons I was so unhappy is because I feel like our product was suffering from the way that we were doing it when I knew that the content product was the most important thing to value.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
The increased attention that you welcome when you're 10 to 1 and arguably the biggest sports radio show in America by virtue of just being in that time slot. Everything that I feared happening 10 to 1 was foretold in what it is that the amount of attention we had breathing hot air on our neck when we take over the Cadillac of everything that was born at ESPN Radio, which is that is the property.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
6 to 10 a.m. Mike and Mike is the holy ground and we're nothing like them. We're an oddball show. We are an odd couple show, but it's a different odd couple. And we're an acquired taste over time. So just having the number of people who wouldn't get our show listening to our show as if they should is not a pleasantness that I wanted to welcome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And the hour is just so ridiculous that I remember being really tired by the end of that month because of what we had done that morning.

You were young then. That morning?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Are you not forgetting how tired we were that day? Are you not forgetting how crazy it was to do that show with that amount of pressure on it because that show mattered to them? It felt like everybody who wrote our checks and was responsible for assigning our value was listening to that show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I've got a lot of different stuff happening. I'm not totally aware at the time, but what is happening in my personal life is I believe that a relationship that represented the last stop on love for me and not dying alone I believe that that relationship had fallen apart. My dog had died. And then I felt like we had also ruined the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And I was resenting some of the decisions we made in ruining the good feeling around the show. The fact that the show was birthed, not in the moments that we were talking that we would seize on, but during the commercial breaks, the interactions in the areas where I would watch Stugatz and observe him interacting with everybody. Like an animal. And it would just be a fountain of material.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
And so whatever was doing a show easily, just observing the environment and the circus and commenting on it now became a harder and harder lift for me in everything that we were doing. It's not just comms between Bristol and Mike's in my ear all the time. It's that the shipping container is physically far away from me. I cannot see. I cannot do any of the Roy, why are you making that face?

Chris Cody, why are you making that face? I can't, like, connect the rooms.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
The stuff that I thought made the content special was getting diluted and, furthermore, was doing so in something that would be definitionally diluted. selling out, Mike saying, it pops, it looks great. And I'm thinking of it as only an audio product.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Like I'm only thinking of it as these are all people who behave as if they don't know they're being watched when I'm the one watching them and then trying to unspool whatever it is that the relationship show becomes because you want to be a relationship show. The way that you connect with the audience, whatever the show is, whatever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
pardon the interruption, whatever relationship you have with the show, our most valuable customers are at least in part because we respect that this is a relationship show, and then it gives us a relationship with the customer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Yeah, but not end of discussion when they start asking for changes to the show upon landing. When I've promised that audience, hey, don't worry.

I didn't realize, though, that it was so overt that the resentment was spoken. I thought in my mind that I would be just generally more passive about the resentment. I didn't realize that it was also said out loud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
i think one of the disconnects that we have as we talk about this is i come to realize that because i'm older than you guys and because i had already had a career when we were arriving at this my viewpoint was different from yours on time slot and other stuff at least in part because i'm like do you guys realize how rare it is to have no one bleep with you
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Like, I'd already had a career of 10 years through newspaper, television, and radio. Let's not screw this up by having so many people pay attention that they're going to come and foul it up by saying, hey, that's Stugat's character. Can we change his name? Can we get rid of your zoo guy? Can we make another thousand changes to what you're doing so you'll be more ESPN?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
when I really don't want to be more ESPN. So I've just got interference. It's noise. It's static. It's a whole bunch of things that weren't there before that when I'm saying out loud, which I thought were inner thoughts, why did you guys make me do this? It's because the unhappiness is an infection. It becomes something that's contagious.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
The thing that I want most is the freedom to make it the way that I want. Everything after that will work out. Everything after that has worked out. But in that moment, you guys felt the quality of the show was shaking, at least in part, because you're afraid to be yourself, Stugatz. Do you know how enraging that is to me?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
After everything we'd climb over for anyone to want to change your name and want you to be anyone other than the character we decide it's okay for you to be.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
I remember that conversation, sort of the Arctic cold that blew through me on how much things can change around power if you're not careful. I was buying my girlfriend a birthday gift. I was in an alley coming out of some place that sold jewelry. I was going to say weird place to get a gift. And I'm getting a call. It's a weird place to get a call. It was in April. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
It's a weird place to get a call. We were at the Clevelander. It was convenient.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
All you have is alleys all around you. But it's not a relationship that I had with him at the time that it would be normal for him to get a call. And it was a very quick call. It was an efficient call. And it was a call after every avenue had been exhausted with my agent on this front. This is the most powerful man in sports calling you to ask you if the last deal point can be.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
We went from what is a cramped sort of looks like a janitor's closet and was the place where people got used to watching the radio show on television to the highly questionable set, which was a produced for television set that was very obviously something that had big lights on it and wasn't the same kind of intimate that the radio studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
It just felt like something we were doing together for each other, with each other in that room in a way it did not feel. As I looked at you and you had a giant screen behind you that looked like a jumbotron He had an island. But I couldn't see your eyes the way that I can see your eyes now in the studio that we're presently in.

And as he walks into a giant amphitheater where they're now gonna do his show, he looks and he's like, oh no. Oh no, what have I done? No, this pristine, beautiful thing that I have needs to be precious because it's small, because it's intimate, because I'm in the heads of the people I'm talking about. Do you know the honor it is for people to listen to what you have to say?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
Treat it as a precious small thing. Don't unspool it in front of everyone for profit with lights in a way that makes the entertainers self-conscious, makes them know how great they are so they can have all of the ego that comes with how great they are.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
No, keep it a small band that's followed on the road by all the people who love it most and don't betray what those people want from that show with an amphitheater. Like, I know you guys here, when I talk about the radio people who helped us, Trog and Liam and Amanda, they know what a radio thing sounds like, and it's a specific thing. It's different than a television thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
It's not like a movie thing. It is more intimate as a radio thing, and I just wanted it to be treated preciously.

The tacks is, I don't know why you've made them something FICA would be involved in. They're brass tacks. The thing that Mike articulates there is not something that I was aware of and is not something that is conscious for me. He has mentioned a few different times that that is where he got trust from me. I don't remember a flip switching on that. I remember that.

But you guys never seem to have known, right, because you guys have articulated over the course of doing this, a general fear about the future that doesn't know what I know, which is the show wasn't ever in any danger of actually ending.

I gotta tell you though, Mike, in revisiting some of this stuff, it's interesting to hear you say that you felt like that is when you gained trust, when during this time, the visual image that stands out to me as the most obvious time, and I still see this image and I see it with some regret, that I had to change my behavior, nevermind studio, nevermind content, anything else, is I wonder,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
As you were dealing with anger issues that were unresolved and not dealt with in therapy, and as we clashed before this, if this visual image is staying with me because we were clashing at anger and I wasn't seeing the vulnerability.

Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 7
But you would understand where anger would misidentify as the mask for terrified, right? If what I'm getting off of someone is anger, conflict, and not afraid at all to be in my face and instigating it, on occasion. I'm not telling him to not yell back at me.

The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Pick a new one. So I'm sorry, Jamel. Yes, you get to pick another one, but this one's final. And Jamel, I'm going to select for you and then you can select whether you want to keep it or not. And if you lose, you have to wear a costume of some sort or suffer a punishment. The Texans are playing against the Dolphins at home. The Texans are a three point favorite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
That's Andrew Hawkins. Yours is the Falcons. Yours is the Falcons. The Falcons are at the Raiders, and they're a four-point favorite at the Raiders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
All right, there you go. And the Dolphins, by the way, in that Texans game, that's a show-me-something game. That's another show-me-something game for the Dolphins, beating the Texans on the road for your season after a bye, the Texans on a bye.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
It's a terrible pick by you. It's the second biggest dog on the entire board. Jamel, thank you. Appreciate the time, as always.

And you're playing through it. You're not quitting. I do want to get back to a portion of this Devondre Campbell story because I'm trying to find the times or places that I have seen anything that compares like this to somebody in the middle of a game having an exchange with a coach where the coach is saying, get in there, and he's saying no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
And then afterwards, Shanahan is telling you, I didn't even ask a follow up question. Once the answer was no, I just moved to next man up. I didn't even ask. I didn't even. I assume in that moment that it's sort of like they feel football players feel like they're always in a firefight. And so there's just not time to ask questions.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
There's always a I don't even want to I won't I won't call a timeout. I want you're not worth that. Your wellbeing or whatever's going on with you, my worry about your feelings is not even worth one of my timeouts. I don't have the time to get your explanation for why it is you're doing what I think, to Kyle Shanahan, is probably a pretty unprecedented thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
I don't want to play and then I'm walking to the locker room and I'm not telling you whether I'm hurt. What is going to be the explanation for this? I'm done playing football. When he speaks, what are you going to, is there anything he can say
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
That you hear that changes what's presently happening on my televisions, which everyone in sports television is aghast because they're just calling this dude a quitter. And they don't understand what they're watching. And is there any context or number of facts that I can give you? Because you guys played the clip earlier of a player who was calling it some sucker shit or some punk shit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
And he lost a baby and was playing a couple of weeks later.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
The last time it happened was Antonio Brown, right? That's the last time we saw it, and then he never played another down, right? We never saw him again in the league. When you walk off a football field, look, Hawk is here so he can explain it to you, but I simply, I don't, I...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
have not had friendships or bonds or workplace relationships that would respond this badly to a broken trust, to the idea, I've never worked in a place where the ethos of it is so much I'm going to do everything I can to get out there, and the person next to me is linked by brotherhood in the understanding that he's going to do everything he can to get out there too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
So, like, I just cannot explain to you what a fracture this is in this sport because of the codes of whatever it is honor is in this sport, which is why I was shocked to hear you say that you weren't going to get out there and try, even if it meant your career was going to end with a fumble.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
I'm going to move off the subject in a second, but I'm just genuinely puzzled by the idea of. I've heard athletes so often say, don't get in your feelings about the stuff on the field. If this is an act of petty rage because your feelings are hurt, the consequences of that rage are so damaging if he's that much up in his feelings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
And I just don't associate that with people who have climbed this particular ladder in this sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Is it cockiness? Is it indifference? Is it flippant? Like, I'd really like to hear from this person. Like, I'd like to hear from Campbell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Can I ask you guys, based on the reaction that has happened around Bill Belichick, which was also a bit confusing to me because of the polar extremes that people were arguing with such conviction on what is the greatest coach ever. If Bill Belichick is not met by North Carolina with universal applause as a hiring, who would be?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Is there such a thing as somebody who's just, like if Nick Saban, Nick Saban would be, right? I've got the age thing with him, too. But if Nick Saban came back, it would largely be consensus applause, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Is there a second? Is there somebody? Kirby.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Well, I'm saying North Carolina football. I'm saying that the reaction to Belichick, because I can sit here and say honestly as we talk about this, well, I don't know what's going to happen. But if I had to bet, I'm going to bet on expertise and some things that he has shown and proven to be good at. But I don't actually know. And I'm interested by the extremes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
But if this person is not a perfect candidate with his credentials, then I was asking you who is. And it's hard for me to get my head around. Wait, so you guys think Sark, a guy who was drinking like on he had alcohol on his breath and was let go at USC. You guys think Sark is somebody who would be met with more universal applause or even Shanahan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
I don't know what you're doing with the alcohol thing. I'm saying it. What do you mean? He was let go because he was drinking on the job. What I'm saying is that that can be hard to trust, even if I can have all the compassion for it being an illness.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Nick Saban's last words here were, I'm not going to be the Alabama coach. That's the last thing he said. Your idea, the other day I was leaving with you and we were talking about leadership and you didn't say leadership was overrated. But when I said, I'm not a good leader, I don't know how to lead, you said nobody does. Bill Belichick is famously known as a leader.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Do you not believe that he has an assortment of skills that should be met with a North Carolina audience and basically everybody who's watched him work for 25 years legitimately applauding the idea that a program that isn't one of the major programs just got the most major coach there is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Would there have been this many questions about this six years ago? And I'm not talking about where Belichick was six years ago. I'm talking about where the sport was, college football was six years ago. Nobody would be asking any questions. If Belichick were going back before NIL and before player freedom, everybody would be applauding here, correct? know how well he's going to recruit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Caitlin Clark Is Time's Athlete Of The Year (Feat. Jemele Hill)
Success is right now, right now, this minute, it's already successful because you're buying what he brings in terms of prestige. No one has ever talked about North Carolina football this way. So that's a measure of success. We've seen what Deion has done with that particular success.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Boy. Can I make you a drink? You guys got some tequila there?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I don't usually do whiskey, but I will do it in the spirit of... I love it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I'm going to give... All right, let's give him a shot. Let's go. Let's do some whiskey.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Thanks for coming and talking. Thank you. Have we started already? We're on the air. We do a little intro. We're on the air.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
So she's your number one because she is an assortment of wonderful things that would captivate, you know, that would hypnotize George Clooney because she's got, isn't she also like an incredible lawyer?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Well, I just saw before this, Kathy Bates was up there. So what were we doing before that?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I will warn the two of you that the last time I did anything like this, I broke up Bert Kreischer and Bill Burr. What? It was their last podcast together. They had me on. Bill was surly, as he often is. He was being dragged in from a barbecue. He didn't want to do it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I kept saying that Boston was racist and that they had shit in Bill Russell's bed, and that was the last time that Bert Kreischer and Bill Burr ever did that together. They made this go more successful. Yeah, but they haven't done the podcast again. Podcast's over.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
been over damn but why would you saying it's racist fucked up their relationship i could see them him being mad at you but why the two of them uh well he got mad at me i don't think he enjoyed it i was backpedaling the whole time i know better than to try and instigate with comedians that's not gonna go well yeah especially that one don't poke the bear i was just backpedaling but they did shit in bill russell's bed he was saying every place is racist and i was saying yeah but only one place shit in bill russell's bed
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Love it. Let's drink. Are we doing a cocktail? Do you have ice, Matt? He got it right there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
more elitist and also like fuck you yeah there's a funny like Cambridge and then fucking Southie it's a funny mix yes you say funny again and again and I wonder I've always wondered and asked and thought that our show would never succeed in Boston because Boston is too serious about its sports that we try to do funny around sports all the time great sports fans obviously unreasonable sports fans I don't
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Hell yeah. You're the man now, dog. Finding Forrester? Oh, yeah. Welcome to the rock.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
He told me you don't really do much in the way of sports, and he's an interesting... He's getting into it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Well, he's an interesting combination of 400-year-old Jew about all other things, and then 12-year-old about sports, right? And so... He takes his sports very seriously, and I don't know if our thing would succeed in Boston because they want to talk about a third-inning bunt a little more than I would, too.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
No, but Boston supports sports like crazy. They've got Bill Simmons. They support sports content a bunch. But our thing is, I don't know, it's not for everybody.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Like the fact that we existed outside of the bubble. I went to Bristol one time in eight years. Wow. Yeah, I was able to avoid all of that. But it's an interesting place. Why Bristol? Why there? They got a great tax deal from the city. There's nothing else in Bristol. So it's basically the entirety of the economy. It's an entire cult.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
What they all say about Bristol is it's only a two-hour drive from New York.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Are you apologizing to my wife back there? Is that what you're doing, or is that the audience?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
That was the last one. You don't know that. You don't know if the wife is lovely or not.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I used to like what Florida is. I'm a bit surrounded now by a lot of things that I don't like in Florida. The politics of Florida are complicated. The general amount of fraud. Miami itself is a bejeweled dumpster, but I don't love. I've always lived in Florida and always loved it, but the changes have been uncomfortable. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
For as long as we have it until both the beach and the sun engulf all of the land and put us underwater and wreck all our homes in the future.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Super weird. Miami, I would say that all of Florida is a bunch of spring break towns, all of it. So it's Daytona Beach, whatever you associate with spring break Florida, but ours is covered by all of the brown cocaine money. All of the people who came in from Venezuela and Cuba and everywhere else that make it a vastly more ethnic spring break town.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Oh, but New Orleans has more culture, I would say. Not necessarily more cultures, but New Orleans, I mean, has a musical taste and a food taste that is ridiculous.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I've lived there all my life. I have. No, but that doesn't mean like it's it's trying now. I mean, I don't know. I know you guys go in and out of politics, but what is happening in Florida is insane. And it tends to happen 20 years before we tend to be like 20 years ahead of the rest of the country. Yeah, because it's so many different kinds of people. The diversity ends up happening like fast.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
And I'm scared what the next 20 years are going to look like because all of this was portended when Rush Limbaugh was doing this in Florida and Spanish language radio was going crazy and no FCC rules. Everything that's happening in this country now was like yelled at through radio speakers 20 years ago in Miami.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I mean, that's my family all my life. Like, parents come from Cuba, come from communism. Oh, you're Cuban? Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yeah, but I'm surrounded because I'm a liberal Cuban, so they call me El Gusano, like the worm, because I don't agree with the politics of the region. Look how this delights him. He loves when someone's called a worm. It's funny that your family calls you a worm. No, not my family. It's not my family that calls me a worm. That's not as funny.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You just, what, you drink tequila until you get to the worm at the bottom?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You guys have figured out, though, like a lot of comedians have with these economies, that you guys are basically just doing radio shows that rely on your funny curiosities. So you're just sitting here. People get to enjoy your company because you're just... discovering shit and then in real time ad-libbing off of it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You've been doing it for how long? Like 25 years? Our radio show celebrates its 20th anniversary next week. I mean, it's not a radio show anymore. It's now a podcast, but it's 20 years. But you guys have invaded the space in a way that's super cool to watch how it is. The comedians have like this counterculture. They're not mainstream. They're not cancelable and they can run anything.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
El Gusano. Yeah. You and Rodman, man. Dennis Rodman was the worm. That's right. He was the worm. One of my favorite Dennis Rodman facts is that he's one of 21 children and his father's name is actually Philander. Oh, that's right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yeah. What was he like? A number of times. A lot of bravado, a lot of insecurity, a lot of self-medicating. Early on, he didn't- What's that like?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Early on, he didn't have a lot of confidence. So he'd get in front of public speaking groups and just as a piston start crying. And then you saw what it ended up becoming when he started like feeding all of his vanities and insecurities and just feeding off attention.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
He's got the same sort of deal where he would break away from Doc Rivers or whatever to go to Vegas to feed his vices. And it was sort of understood as the coach or manager or leader. You have to allow your artists a little bit of liberty.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Well, how are you defining crazy, right? I can't believe I'm talking to this person. Oh, okay, so you're talking about like just me just sort of being awed to be in presence of someone. Well, I love starting a sentence with the phrase when I was in China with Michael Jordan. Like that's a good way to start a sentence, right? How about that?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I asked him about the slave labor and the sneaker shops and a woman who was one of his many publicists kicked me in the back with her high heel while I was asking him questions.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You've got to ask some tough questions. You can't just be, hey, can we go to the Great Wall together?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Right on the spot, yeah. Right on the spot. It was so embarrassing when ESPN televised that. Wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Oh no, he was always cool. He had, yeah, well he had great gifts. Like he knew the size of his power. Like he knew when he like put a hand on your knee or said your name, like he knew it was, it was a bit hypnotizing to watch how well he used the power to never say anything and to sell everything because it was part of the, part of the gift is being able to, the best
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Guys in sports who are most beloved allow us to write the mythology around their winning. Jeter, Brady. There's not much personality there. You're not learning a lot about who they are, but they're benign enough that the sports fan can just sort of put on them whatever it is they want the myth to be.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Well, he's got the smile, and it's not that he has to say very much. Yes. But A-Rod, I've known, I've covered A-Rod legitimately when he was drafted. I was in his kitchen with his mother in high school because he's from Miami. And so I've seen sort of the evolution of that dude wasn't an adult until he got into his 40s.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Like these guys are so obsessive, compulsive, and they have to concentrate on being great at that one thing. You guys must have some of this. Well, we're children.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I think I can. Let's see who we've got there. We've got Ray Ordonez, Edgar Renteria. We've got A-Rod. Who are the ones in the front there? I'm not, I don't know. Garcia Parra's not on there, is he? Hold on a second. Is that Jeter on the right? Yeah, that's Jeter on the right. And who is that on the left?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
That doesn't look much like Nomar, but he would be of the class of shortstops that that would be in. So that's a lot of chains in there.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You would think so, yes. But you got to look good. It's like when you ask Shaq, he could have shot 70% or 80% granny style at the free throw line. But he was like, I'm not doing that. I'm Shaq. I'll shoot 50% and shoot at demands.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You'd respect Shaq less if he shot it granny style, correct? That hurts his money at the end of the day, I think.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
When you talk, though, about not being interested because the personalities aren't interesting enough, the thing in sports that's interesting to me is sort of the sociology of it, like how these guys become great at what it is they are.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But I like that about comedy too, right? Like I don't know, I'm super curious about like how it is that you guys got to where you are and how much of your funny comes from where.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
He wrote, what is that? He wrote the Tender Bar. Yeah, Moringer's who wrote that. Honest to God, he told me you love to read and stuff. That is the best sports biography I have ever read. Oh, wow.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Well, he was willing to be vulnerable. Do you know Agassi? I've talked to him. I don't know him. I mean, you read the book, you feel like you know Agassi. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Well, one of the things that I wonder about, though, right? Like if you're someone who gets a lot of identity from your work and you're someone smart enough to know that you shouldn't actively seek the validation of others, that the hole you need to fill is about loving yourself, right?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
When laughter is what you need as the ultimate approval, it's the thing that feels best when you know you got this, you could throw it into the audience, and what comes back feels like love. Yeah. I could see how easy it would be to get addicted to that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Do you guys look at anything and say that's harder than what I do professionally when you strip it down? This is the reason I ask. I admire you guys because of the bravery of being stripped down to the expectation of funny. And it's only you, your talent and the microphone. Like there ain't not there ain't no teammates. There's no. You got it like that.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
And then I meant an entertainment. I'm sorry. I meant degree of difficulty in entertainment.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yeah, we're all... I wasn't saying you guys are working in a sewage line like underwater hardest jobs in the world.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
we're brave. I fucking hate that. I hate when people call us brave. I don't think we're brave.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You don't have to think it's brave. We have to drink. It's part of the job. Most people listening to this are terrified of public speaking.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You're right. should i not have done that no no i said levitard is howard stern essentially where he's going to interview us i'm genuinely curious about how it is you got and i would assume your audience is as well but i'm and it's an excellent way to deflect intimacy so if you want to come at me you can we'll answer this but then we're going back to you yeah so what was the question
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I was just deflecting intimacy. I was just deflecting intimacy.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
So, yeah, that was fun. Damn, I love that. How was the Stress Factory?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
The act of writing, the process of writing, I grew up as a writer, and so what I enjoyed about writing is having written. The Miami Herald? Yes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But it's fulfilling. So it's fulfilling, but only after it's done. I can't imagine when I cite bravery with what it is you guys do when the last special is done and you've been sculpting that thing for a year and now you've got a black blank canvas and you got to go and you got to make another special.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But so how... Yes, I did see you last night. How do you ravage yourself and how forgiving are you on yourself when the last joke you made, you stumbled toward the finish line in your life? I did.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But how does that... Like, how do you... I have a hard time treating failure as learning. And that's all you guys are doing.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But there's real confidence in what it is that you're doing and being that gentle with yourself. Oh, really? I don't have that. To have the understanding, like I'm not that forgiving with myself. I'm not that gentle with myself on mistakes. Yeah.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
The real confidence is you guys have so many jokes that you know work. Like, you're just waiting. You've done it so many times by the time you get to the special that you know, pause here, wait for laughter.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
It didn't go poorly with Bert Kreischer and Bill. I think it was probably entertaining to the audience. Just when it was done, I didn't feel good about it, and it ended their podcast. Wow. So, you know. And Bert said that that was the reason that it ended, that I don't think he was lying to me, yes.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But there are all sorts of athletes, usually the younger ones, who are either not introspective enough or by job design, NFL quarterback, you're purposely boring because you don't want to have the headlines of whatever comes in that military environment when you say the thing you're not supposed to say.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
When Tua Tonga-Vailoa comes out of college Alabama, he's a very young kid. When I was talking about lopsided athletes, you're a quarterback coming out of college. You're good at quarterbacking. You're not a grown-up. You're a grown-up at quarterbacking. You're not actually a grown-up. And so you're also careful and guarded after that. I'm not going to be able to get anything out of you.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But now, the last time I talked to Tua a couple of weeks ago, he made all sorts of headlines because he got his money. He got his confidence. You know Hawk Tua? He's sitting there. Keep going. Keep going. He got more confident with age. So the people you want to interview have some life experience.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
So there are all sorts of athletes that I feel like I'm going with a crowbar or a tire iron into their mouth to get something out of them because they haven't lived a life that has a lot of wisdom in it yet.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But you understand that it's your job to be entertaining. Yes. That ain't their job.

Their skill set is to be entertaining with the skills that they apply all the time. We're a nuisance. We're an invasion. We're something that they don't even want in the locker room. And furthermore, what's gotten worse is they don't actually need us anymore. Right. It used to be that it mattered to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated or it mattered to be interviewed by ESPN.

Now all these guys have realized, no, I'll make my own content. I'll make the money off my content. I'll show people what I want them to see.

It might have been legal. He had other issues with that. That was mostly optics.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
That's all he told me about you, by the way. He'll probably fart during the podcast.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Thank you. I appreciate the gift of giving that you're all about. This is good, by the way, for those who don't know, I don't do celebrity endorsements, but this is a, I'm not, nor am I a whiskey guy, but this is good.

Um, Ray Rice happened to so many times. Ray Rice. Ray Rice was not a dick. Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown became a dick, but was like excellent before that. Antonio Brown was homeless in Miami at 16 years old. So I don't know. Somehow he's worse off now.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
The dicks are all over the place in sports. And I remember, yes, that, too. My first experience with it, I was very young. I was in my early 20s.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
and i go up to this name's not going to mean anything to you but an old baseball player named chili davis i remember chili davis and i just the yankees as well right i used i came up to him and i just asked him something about whether or not i could talk to him and he's like no i i don't do that no no and then i'm like seriously what is he my girlfriend
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
And I'm like, seriously? And he looks me in the eye and he's like, has a heart attack. Whoa. Wow. Has a heart attack. But I can give you a lot of stories like that. All we are is a professional nuisance. Imagine someone invading your space where you're getting dressed all the time and just needing something from you all the time.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
There are people who want to talk because when I was writing a lot, I was somebody who tried to get at the depths of who a person was. And so if they knew my reputation as someone who could tell their story well, there would be people like an Aaron Rodgers before the recent things who want to be more seen by the public because they don't think that they're understood very well.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
writer to be the bridge to communication for them on can you frame this for me that's why Agassi chose Moringer as his writer on his biography because he's like I I have not expressed myself this way to others but if I go get somebody who's a construction worker about words he'll be able to bring me to the people in a way that I haven't been seen before hey that was perfect good good answer
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Thank you. My first good one so far. More drink. I'll get really good by the end of this, and we'll be doing it like in the locker room. The three of us will be nude, and I'll be asking you questions.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
What do we think about the end of Pacino's career, the last 15 years of work that don't involve him being an 80-year-old father of a newborn?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Heat 2? You're excited about Heat 2? They're doing a 2? Yeah. Michael Mann's got... Adam Driver, right? A second one. Young Neil McCauley.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I'm sorry, I have to have a peeve about what? Shooting. That's a peeve of mine on it. That means to graduate to something more than a peeve, doesn't it? We could do better than peeve on school shootings. So what is an irritation of mine? Can I think about that for a second? Give me a filibuster so I can think about something that would be a pet peeve of mine.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yeah. Old Met shirt over here is really all-knowing. I love that you guys have someone on the payroll who's just all-knowing on all things.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I will go with one that's wife-related. I would say it's legitimately the only thing my wife does that's annoying.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Where are we going? Well, I'm volunteering a peeve on my wife while she's in the room.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
It's after I've gone to get what it is I was sent to get at the grocery store, when I get the text while I'm in the elevator going back up to our home, and here are the other three things that I need. That's a peeve. That's a tough one. That's a good one. That's a very good one. That's a good one.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
That's not how it happens. The elevator goes down and it returns with oat milk.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
She doesn't understand because I go right back down and go back quietly back to the store.

I have a hard time imagining Sam being mean to somebody who's not mean to him first.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
See, this makes you guys crazy, at least in part. Actually is longer than really. I feel like is longer than think. You guys are words. You guys know the economy of words. Like, you need shit to be efficient when you're speaking.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
You have to have the lane in all of comedy at the moment with more comfort with Hitler and Holocaust jokes than anybody.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Like, is there anyone else leading the way? Yes, you. What do you mean? Really? There's a lot of content out there on Hitler. It's not just me.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
We're shallow. It's a shallow app, Mark. It's a picture. That's true. Shallow App, good Gwyneth Paltrow film.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But what about – Sorry. I heard a great story about Sacha Baron Cohen that I don't know if it's true or not. I love the Cohen. That he had a three-movie deal at the height of – I don't know. Would it be after Borat? It would have to be after Borat.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
A three-movie deal, and he makes The Dictator, and it became a one-movie deal that he wasn't going to be able to litigate himself out of because the executive had so much power that he just said, go ahead and try and fight me on it, The Dictator. And then I don't know if it's true or not. I haven't looked at his IMDb, but I don't remember his career exactly flourishing after that with a lot of –
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
He didn't. What happened was the dictator failed. He was saying, what's a movie with laughs in it? And I wanted to make the joke that the dictator didn't have quite enough of them.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Because it flopped, and then he didn't get the rest of whatever that was supposed to be.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
That's the way it worked, but the only one that got made, well, because the illustration of the story was that in Hollywood, the producers and the power have so much power that the stars only have so much power. That even someone like Borat, you're always one dictator away from your empire falling apart.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
He is a genius. He's indisputably a genius. Yeah, that show was, that HBO show when- Ali G?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
That's crazy, right? And I think of Ali G and just to make something so good that he could no longer do it because it had gotten so pop culture evasive that he couldn't fool anybody anymore.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I went to see him last year. I don't know if this will make you feel a certain way, but he was in Fort Lauderdale, and I was legitimately walking over to get to my seat, canes and wheelchairs, because the demo was so old. Someone in line just died. Yeah. Like, damn it. Because he's 70 years old, right? Or however old he is that you would never guess that he's 70 years old.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
And I admire him the way that you guys do as just like as a craftsman on what it is that he created.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
It was great. I mean, he's still... I know there are some people... I... It's tough for comedy to age. I don't know a lot of comedians in their 50s. Just what's happened with Eddie Murphy, where you remember what that was when it was young and hungry, and then success happens, and why would you be that young and hungry again? Why would you choose whatever the suffering is between... Right.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Specials, unless your personal pride is so strong and your love of it is so strong that you can't help but not get fat on whatever it is that fame and temptation are. Like once you've arrived at an airport hangar filled with whatever with cars that Jerry Seinfeld has, like what's the motivation to still be great? In his case, it's personal pride.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Who are the ones that have aged well? Carlin, Rickles, George Burns, Dangerfield. But who of the modern comics that you guys admire, can you imagine in the 60s and 70s still grinding it, doing tour work, being at a restaurant somewhere in Cleveland? in the kitchen because they just got to make the material work. It's funny saying grinding because a lot of them are going to be flying private.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
For sure. Well, let me ask you guys this about a tell because his last special was 39 minutes and he purposely farted out the last three minutes like as a fuck you to everybody. He's still great. Indisputably great.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
But like when you guys watch that special and he's throwing away the last three minutes because he couldn't get three more minutes of comedy and he can do that because he's a tell you feel a certain kind of way about it.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
The greats can make bad choices. The Departed, the way it ended with a rat running across the balcony. That's a terrible ending.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Spoiler alert, everyone dies at the end and it's a bit of a surprise. I don't need a rat scurrying across the balcony because Matt Damon's character was a rat.

The CGI that you have to do to get De Niro at 78 to be beating someone up.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Finds out. Oh, well, he's told me that his, are you talking about the pod that he does about with his dad and stuff? Yeah. But I'm not familiar with the details of that story.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Tiger Woods, another one that doesn't say anything, by the way, like in terms of how it is that you, that documentary on, I'd recommend that one on Max that doesn't have any access to him. Tiger Woods is somebody who is bland on purpose so that we can continue selling stuff around him without...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
him being any kind of controversial there i i don't know who i would cite as the best of the athletes like great great athletes who are also publicly interesting like is there anyone trying to think deon sanders is kind of entertaining yes uh yes that's a good one okay not kind of entertaining super lebron's not a great interview no but he's he's better than these other guys that we're talking about and stands for certain things uh
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Steph Curry is excellent. But when you talked about John Morant and face of the league stuff, the place that I went first, right, when you're representing the league and have to be palatable to white customers, like in that league, your majority of your customers are the white customer. Yep.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Steph Curry is a family man, a religious man, you know, his dad and mom before they divorced at the games and stuff like that is a little easier to sell than John Morant on Instagram with his father, you know, waving a gun around.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I saw that Trump the other day visited Max Crosby. Put Max Crosby and Gardner Minshew on the screen for him. Actually, do me a favor. Minshew. Actually, put for him on the screen Gardner Minshew's recent workout video where he was shirtless. Now, this is a guy who in the offseason, purposely, even though he's a Raiders quarterback, lives in an RV.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Once he finds this video for you, I will ask you whether you'd be surprised at all whether Gardner Minshew and Max Crosby, who spend time with Trump and are willing to do so, even though they've got a huddle filled with black teammates, whether or not you think they might be... Yeah, that's it. Really? You have multiple shirtless, sweaty, hairy torsos with a mullet cut?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
This one's been confusing to me. That entire generation of men seem to be going toward Trump. But this is, look, whether it's Tucker Max or Andrew Tate or whoever, or Dan Bolzerian, hating women is something that young men who are insecure around women and have had their egos trampled by women because they don't know how to deal with women. It's sort of...
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Just one more, though? I could do this. I'd love a refill if you have some ice. I could do this with you guys for a while.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I think we should just stay here. Let's let him think about it. See if we can find. You guys talk. So he asked me, because I said Tiger Woods and he said LeBron, and we were talking about whether or not there is, like, who is the greatest one. I mean, Ali would be the greatest. Oh, that's a great one. Who would be interesting.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Jim Brown was also excellent as a talker. Jim Brown said one of the more insightful things I've ever heard an athlete say when he was talking about his disappointment in Michael Jordan for not using the platform to do more than just sell shoes. One of the things that he said of Ali was.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Don't ever forget that Muhammad Ali didn't go from the most hated athlete in America to the most loved athlete in America until he lost his ability to speak. You think so?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I mean, that's the whole plot of Manhattan, right? He's dating that young broad. And they don't end up together. Oh, yeah. And that's the sad part. Well, she had to graduate. Good to go off to college.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
No, yes, he may have said. I don't think Michael Jordan said that. No, but Jim Brown, yes, Jim Brown. I think Jim Brown threw a woman off of a balcony, if I'm not mistaken.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Wow. That can't be right. Is that right? Is that right? I don't know. Look it up.

That was before my time. I did not have anything for you there.

He says 20,000 women he slept with. Ric Flair says he slept with 10,000. I'm not really understanding quite why anybody would say that. It's actually impossible.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
How about, was Kobe cool? Kobe was super interesting is what Kobe was. The stories about Kobe and competitive even with teammates are legendary in terms of somebody gets there, a Rick Fox or a Derek Fisher, and he will push them until... Off the balcony?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
he will push them until they're ready to fight in order to test them to see if they're people worthy of being his teammates so like he'll just sit in the space that you're supposed to have for sprints or whatever and just wait he's just alphaing somebody until they they buck up and actually say like Rick Fox did, okay, are we going to have to go? Do we have to settle this by fighting?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yes, Rick Fox was beautiful. Is beautiful, is beautiful, yes. He does have beautiful eyes. I think both of the people we're talking about are beautiful people.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Vanessa Williams. That's who it is. Look at this. Full circle. That's a great place to close. You were objectifying women when I walked in.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yes. You'd like the story. I think he would like the story of everything that happened. I'd love to hear it. I mean, we just sort of got run out of ESPN for being counterculture, and we started our own thing, and all of our people came with us and did something not unlike what you guys are doing, something I would have never done if they hadn't pushed me into a place where I had to do it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
It is working, and thank you for having me here. I really am an admirer of what you guys do, and even if you don't think it's brave, it's only because you're numb to the bravery in it.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Do you guys get at all worried, or do you have the confidence and security when you go into foreign lands with your act? Like, you know that that's going to kill? Like, you know that you're going to have crowds and it's going to sell?
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
I'd be scared going to some place like Winnipeg or Amsterdam. I wouldn't know.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Yes, sir. Thank you for having me on. And speaking of bravery, drink Bodega Cat.

Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
Oh, fewer canes. I didn't mean to correct you. I just didn't know where you were going. So it's not going to be wheelchairs and canes that I'm walking over. You've got a younger demo.
We Might Be Drunk
Ep 198: Dan Le Batard
They're going to laugh so much that it's going to cause paralysis. And there'll be wheelchairs at the end with the merch where you can Winnipeg all the stuff and merch that doesn't sell in Winnipeg. He's going to give it away in Fort Lauderdale.

She was talking about the tartar breath. Didn't expect that coming off of this. You never get a beef tartar at a bar?
