The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
So, Dan. And the argument started because when I got in touch with Nick, he was not aware that I was president of the team in 03 when the Marlins beat his Yankees. And so he did some sort of ridiculous Google search of some sort, or maybe his PR people or his brother, who is a star of my favorite movie, Fearless, number one. Somehow he discovered that I crushed him in 2003.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
And he had this this visceral anger about that. thinking that they were the better team when, of course, they were the far inferior. Oh, my God. Your team was so far inferior to us in 03. It's not even worth discussing. Wow. Well, we were flat, flat as a button. I mean, you know, you won that Bartman series. What'd you win? You won Steve Bartman.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Steve Bartman had nothing to do with it, Nick, and I told you that via text. I asked you not to bring it up because it had nothing to do with Steve Bartman. He was just sort of the easy thing because of the Billy Goat curse. I asked him not to bring it up.

I hope you like your pennant ring. This guy is good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
That's all you got in 03, a little pennant ring. Oh, you won the title in 04. Oh, no, sorry, that was the Red Sox when you had a 3-0 lead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Hmm. Well, I had issues with both of them because they were both incredibly unfair to me and to our team over the years. And the way we would figure out who we disliked the most was always based on the most recent column. And we would try to get them to write something positive. We would beg for it. And none of them ever did. Cody was rude with great reach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Dave Hyde was way more biting and way more grumpy about it. and way more angry about it. So to me, it was a tie for the sort of lascivious, prurient writing that I wanted no part of.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Would you have that sort of same sort of calm? Hey, Juan, man, thanks for last season. Love you. Good luck in flushing. Or would you be willing to show him that rage right with him as our guest?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Because we show you Michael Kay and all of a sudden you become this almost uninteresting normal guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
It certainly felt that way to me because the vigor and the passion, all of a sudden Michael comes up sounding like a robot with an outstanding holiday party day technological issue. And I saw Nick sort of recoil as Michael was about to discuss whether or not he knows, loves, and appreciates Nick's rage.

Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
But watching... Michael, I would ask... Someone, a fan like Nick, your job is to try to explain what Brian Cashman and Hal Starmer's plan B is. And are you willing to and able to convince Nick that the plan B that you've seen is actually making the Yankees a better team when DraftKings has a futures line that says the Yankees are the exact same? Their win total is 93 and a half with Soto.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
It's now 93 and a half with Freed and with Williams and with Bellinger.

Cody.

Cody, that's a fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
They always do it, Dan. It's his specialty. He wouldn't go to your funeral. No, 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 said that I wouldn't and neither would you, Dan. Now, Nick may be there holding up some sort of sign of protest or some sort of sign of love, but I would say, Dan, that's an easy game. Would you go to Michael Kay's funeral? I'm a no on that. Now, maybe if Bob Costas were doing the eulogy, we'd have to reconsider. Wow. Would you go to Bob Costas' funeral, David? Of course he would.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
It's become more of a possibility recently, but it depends on timing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
No, no, I don't think you would, Michael. I don't. You're too busy. You're doing stuff every day. You wouldn't cancel like any plan you had to go to Nick Turturro's funeral.

Bye, guys. You're welcome, Dan. See you. Happy holidays. You're welcome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I would tell you that Mike Ryan is having me watch movies that make me incredibly uncomfortable. And I did it for you, Mike. I watched Heretic. Heretic is a movie with Hugh Grant, and it's about the Book of Mormon. Hi, my name is Elder Cunningham, Josh Gad, except two Mormon missionaries go to a door, Hugh Grant answers, and it starts the process of an amazing theological discussion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
The first part of the movie is really cool about everything you think about religion. And then it gets weird when you realize there may be no way for them to ever leave, which was my worst nightmare. I felt trapped. I felt anxious. I felt nervous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
i was texting mike while i was watching because i was doing it in the middle of the night i didn't press send i did send later mike you're welcome but i was scared so i ended up with all the lights on by the end i had the theater door open and i stopped watching the movie to do laps around the house to make sure there was no one in there all in all it was an uncomfortable uncomfortable watch but an important watch where you can have great discussions
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Just hit leave, Michael and Nick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I get scared all the time, Michael, and you can't watch it. You have young children, I believe. 10 and a 12 year old. That is way too young. They may not watch this movie. You will be stuck with them in your bed for the rest of your life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
This is a total disaster. Oh, it's great. Knowledge. All right. A couple of things of cleanup. Number one, Nick, the Yankees absolutely know you exist and they love you and appreciate you, but they're not going to give you anything free. Number two, Bob, we love you. I agree that sometimes there are people who don't get you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
but we get you here at the Dan Levitard Show with Stu Gatz and Nothing Personal with David Sampson. So please just know that Nick is speaking on behalf of Nick at a particular moment. Thank you. Back to our regularly scheduled late segments.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Nick, that's all he does. That's his job. He's the best ever of describing what you're supposed to look at. Now you're looking at it in a different way. You're wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I just think, Nick, that during your mania, you may not have realized that Aaron Judge was not exactly the recruiting perfect person for Juan Soto, because what we've discovered, which I think you know as a baseball fan, it's not that all the players love each other off the field. And Aaron Judge, really, he wasn't interested in recruiting Juan Soto.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
And it turns out Juan Soto didn't really need to play with Aaron Judge or enjoy playing with Aaron Judge. So your mania regarding him not choosing Judge, you know, of course, he was choosing himself, which he's been doing his entire career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
No, you've got it right. They had a plan B that they just thrust themselves into by signing Freed to an absolutely outrageous contract, thinking Cody Bellinger is the answer to their centerfield prayers, who's so overpaid it's hard to imagine because he won an MVP once upon a time. And then Devin Williams, he is dicey because you can't build your bullpen during the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
We know that doesn't work, but the Yankees had to respond to Nick because Nick lost his mind. So Brian Cashman had to make all these moves because Hal was worried that Nick was somehow going to throw a bat in his general direction. So they've been signing players sort of like drunken sailors.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
There were more nos than yeses. But the baseball season just has a different rhythm than the football season. You're playing 162 games in 185 days, and that's after 30 spring training games in 34 days. So it is just the grind of the season that the staying in cities later, that rarely comes up because there's so few off days during the season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
But there's stuff that other stuff is where the permission comes. It's in the clubhouse. It's special treatment for guests. It's location of seats. It's things like that that come up. Hotel rooms.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
To have a player take both a wife and a girlfriend on a family trip on the plane. That's amazing. That was the end of our families traveling with the team. Wait a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
We had to make a whole set of rules, Pablo. You want to find out? We had a whole set of rules that I developed with Larry Beinfest about what relationship was required to travel with the team on a family trip. And I said, I can't deal with this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
What was the criteria? What were some of the criteria? I needed proof of wedding. I didn't want engagement. I didn't want, I needed proof. I'm talking like a document. Proof of wedding. Engagement wasn't good enough. No, no. Engagement. You need paperwork. I want paperwork.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
No, it's a pain in the ass, Pablo, to deal with this. It really was not fun. The traveling secretary would come to me and talk about the layout of where rooms are in the hotel because where players were, this is such a bigger deal than people would think. You have to have girlfriends in a different place than wives, different floors, different parts of the stadium where people are sitting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
Oh, I said ham. I've literally never eaten ham in my life. Religious reasons. That's on me. Pablo, I am despondent right now. Yeah. That's on me. You don't seem like a tuna guy. Certainly not from a store or restaurant, no. A store or restaurant? Where the f*** are you getting your tuna? I'll make my own tuna.

And picture a stadium that's not faux. It's a total nightmare.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
Yeah, that's a whole other thing is trying to discern injury from... not wanting to do infield or not wanting to take BP. And so we're monitoring always the trainers and the training staff. And that's why we mark everything down of any player who walks in and what they say, what's bothering them. We do it both for coverage and workers' comp purposes, but also to understand who's just hung over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
And so what I would try to do with the players is just say, be honest. We don't want to put you on the report if you're just on the training table because you have a headache and your headache is because you were out all night. Do it. Go sleep in a dark room. But we're only going to put you on the report if you're hurt.

team sports so it's like all right that wants to do that with his career it's not going to impact the way i hit or the way i feel well some of them i i think that if i did the math i was a president for 208 sunday games roughly if i had a guess nothing more fun than math let's do some more math 205 of 208 someone came in hung over on us for a sunday game from a saturday night to an afternoon game uh and more than one player some players were better

I love you, Miguel, and I've said this to your face, but Miguel Cabrera could hit the ball and he would just aim for the middle ball. And it was just incredible what he was able to do. Other guys were not able to perform when they were hungover.

No, no, I will make tuna from a can with Miracle Whip and Dijon mustard and green onion and avocado and cucumber. I will make that. Obviously, always with water and you drain it, but I will never order tuna in a restaurant. The sandwich so far sounds like it's going to be terrible. It's amazing. You just haven't figured out what it is. David, do you want to make the big reveal?

Many jobs of the black man. I got to do everything around here. That's right. Player empowerment's a real thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
The hardest thing to do is when a player's been empowered and they're really, really worth it. And then time passes and they're not worth it. And it's really hard to claw back the power that you've given the player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
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?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
Then I realized eventually that they bought it for me. And I got to tell you, way more challenging than I could have ever imagined. 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.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
All this experience really shows in their classes, which are never short of challenging, especially for me personally. So I jumped on it that first time. It was challenging, more challenging than I thought. And 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.

Well, you can't judge a book by its cover. Yes, I have always, I've never been what other people would consider overweight, but I have always had a tremendous body dysmorphia issue. And so I view myself right now, actually, as not as looking about as bad as you can look at the end of a day like this. So I know what you're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
And I've looked at all sorts of herbs and all sorts of ways to lose weight. And it turns out that the best way that I ever found to lose weight was to be actually sick and I had a disorder. And it turns out that that's probably not the best plan either. So it's a multi-billion dollar industry full of bad plans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
I was an anorexic for a bunch of years while I was running a professional sports team. While running marathons, I was sick. When did it develop? When did it develop? It really started when I was very young. I always had this weird view of myself.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
I'm always, even as I sit here today, all these years later, all I'm thinking about when I do shows or when I'm in public and when I'm in private, it's every moment that I'm awake is I'm thinking of my stomach. It's all I think about. So if you ever look at me in pictures, I'm often, I cross my hands over my front so people can't see. I'm very cognizant of how I look from the back, whether or not
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
I'm flat down by the waist. And when I see a little roll or something like that, it makes me insane. It's a horrible thing to have what I have. And it was years of therapy. I was down to 117 pounds in a very public job. And I thought that's the best I've ever looked. And I still look at those photos because they're on Google. And I still view them as the best I've ever looked in my life.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
And I would run 20 miles and purposely not eat the entire day. And while running a baseball team. That's how you lose weight. And now I'm about as heavy as I've ever been at about 139. I used to weigh myself about 25 times a day. Before and after every time going to the bathroom. Before and after every course of a meal. I mean, I was sick. I really have never talked about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson

PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
I've been with you both. And Dominique, you are obviously a very fit, attractive man. And Pablo, I always assumed you were resting your arms, not covering anything. I thought they were on the ledge. I'd say that you look good in butter. There's no question about that. But listen, Pablo, I love you and I love us. But you are not a butter face. But this is a serious issue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
I hate that we're making light of it. I'm not happy to admit. no one wants to talk about this stuff. And I'm not happy to have to talk about it. It's uncomfortable, but I'll tell you that It's not better because I still think about it every day, every day, all day. I think about what I look like, how I feel. I'm very hyper aware of every little thing that happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
I used to be a tremendous picker if I had a blemish anywhere. And so I had to wear gloves to stop myself from picking. So I'm aware of all these things that people struggle with and it's not easy. And now I would choose to be a public figure, which I am, but guess what? We're all public figures because of social media.

PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
And so even if you're not in the world of media with your feed or your Instagram or Snapchat, there's kids and adults going through this and it sucks. It just downright sucks. It drains the life out of you. It makes you exhausted to have to be a certain way all the time. And that's the world. And now I'm a part of it.

I think there's a lot of people who are just struggle with this and what the dysmorphia is, is that you see something that other people don't see, which is why with you two, I do it all the time, both on and off camera. I'm always testing, hey, are you sort of hearing what I'm hearing and then reacting how I'm reacting to this?

Yes. My mother and father got me the same desk set three years in a row. The same exact thing when I was in eighth, ninth, and tenth grade. It was a pencil holder. It was a thing where you put your papers on. There were no computers at the time. It was a three-piece set. One was for pens and pencils. One was for a stapler. And one was the square thing that you put on top of your desk.

Let's first say that it was 765 over 15. Let's then say that there is no scenario under which Juan Soto chose the Mets because there was a suite included in the deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
The way these deals are negotiated is that you get to the rider after, which is season tickets or suite on the road meeting a hotel room, whether or not you pay for that or whether you have the player pay for the difference between a regular room and a suite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
When there's season tickets, where the location is for the player's family, whether it's in the regular family section or elsewhere, all of that is extra stuff. No player that I've ever negotiated with had it as a dispositive moment. You're not including the sweets? It's absurd. And by the way, last thing on this, if the Yankees really were competing to win,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
All they had to do was gross up the amount that they were paying Soto and tell Soto to buy the suite. And Soto would have been at par. Gross up, meaning the price of the suite each year. You can even include what the taxes would have been on that. I've been grossing up people forever. It is normal. So it's, thank you. I handed that to you.

I'm so glad that you're paying attention because you're not on your phone. So I don't buy into this notion that that went into the decision-making process.

But they are till they're not, Dominique, because I never gave a no trade clause for a long term deal ever until Giancarlo Stanton. And it was a deal breaker for him. And we gave him a no trade clause. So everything is principled and everything's culture until it's not until Barry Bonds wants a recliner. And you say, come on, nobody has a recliner. Hey, I'm Barry Bonds.

I do, Dominique, because think about that as a player. You're paying attention. You know contractual provisions of all of your teammates. And if we give an advantage to one teammate in the guarantee provision that we didn't give to another, they know it in about 45 seconds.

I have a sandwich that I had to custom build myself, which I did.

Almost every year. So the two examples in sports or baseball is when you're drafting someone internationally from the Dominican and the Busconi wants you to take the kid's brother, the kid's cousin and the kid's second cousin. And you give, you know, 50 grand to each of them just because you want to spend 800 grand to get the good player. And so you're willing to take on all the extra stuff.

And it goes all the way to the big leagues where with Vladimir Guerrero, we had to give a roster spot to his brother, Wilton Guerrero. We even got Wilton Guerrero through arbitration because Vladimir, which is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 's father, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., a Hall of Famer, he had his brother and mother with him in Montreal. They lived together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
They ate meals together, and Wilton was part of the package. And so for us, it was necessary until he became too expensive because he was getting service time and not really all that productive.

Yo, check out the build on this sandwich. I did custom build the sandwich, and I can't test it and look at it because of our delay. I've been sitting in place for 15 minutes waiting, and I could have gotten the order myself and checked to make sure that it was right, and now I have to think about it through this entire show. which also does not make my brain happy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
Absolutely not. And it's an amazing thing what you're saying, Dominique. I had not heard that before. That's a position I would not still value in terms of a roster spot in basketball where there's so few of them. My growing up, there were 11. I think now there's 15 or 16. It's still not very many. That's an amazing piece of real estate. And the whole Bronny thing, don't even get me started.

Do you know what your teammates have when you're traveling? Yeah. So you just said that with some certainty. Do you get a room list with the actual room numbers? Of the players in where they are in the hotel?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
No, I would do a joining room slumber party. You used to have roommates. Early on, 30, 40 years ago, players in baseball, they would room with a teammate in a double room. Now the keys are on the table, Dominique, but there's numbers. They put the number, but often it's with names that's not the real names. They check in under fake names.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
PTFO - Share & Gift & Tell with Domonique Foxworth and David Samson
But you know that if you've got the same last two numbers as the team president, you know that's a suite. And so we would fool around with what we do with certain envelopes so that players wouldn't know who has the suite.

Not now. I'm sacrificing for the squad. When you're playing football. I'm just suggesting you could have taken some medicine. You could have come in. I thought that maybe your voice default was this phlegmy, but then the drip gave it away.
