Appearances
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Greatest Of All The Nuts (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
It sounded like you were speaking aloud. My bad. Totally on me. That's 100% on me. Stugatz. But that goes without saying. Right. That it couldn't have happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Greatest Of All The Nuts (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Greg, why?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Greatest Of All The Nuts (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
My apologies. Greg, why? Greg. Yeah. Greg. He apologized. Greg. Sincerely. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
Do you know how hard it is to be the idiot on a day we have a giant photo of Greg and Mike nose to nose? And incidentally, Greg still wants to defend. He spent the entire break looking up why it is he shouldn't be using Eskimo anymore. And he wants to double down on it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
It's a mouthful. But the or whatever, it makes it more of a mouthful to make it the or whatever there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
Well, first of all, Juju, those tickets don't cost hundreds of dollars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
No, that sounds like you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
Is that what the pass sounded like?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
That's disconcerting. It's disconcerting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (feat. Juju Gotti)
The best move is always make Dan look like a fool. Yes, a universal joke that will pay until the end of time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Now, wait a minute. Isn't there a disclaimer in fine print on the back of a ticket that says, essentially that says, if you get hit by a foul ball, it ain't our fault?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
OK, so you have never you never contested. one of that such claim?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
And what's a typical settlement?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. You just do a generic call. Oh, that would be a great call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
You do mind it when I do it, when we're in it. But afterward, I'm laughing out loud at the whole absurdity of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Yes, a John Birdie autographed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Right. I don't think I've ever failed to catch it, though, and sent that to my wife.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Wow. So if I slip and fall on a soiled diaper that hasn't been picked up, I get to bat forth in the next game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
It's visual humor. When I say that, you have to picture me at my age in a ridiculous batting helmet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Full uniform, yeah. Stirrups. I won No. 9, which was my first number in Little League because it was my mother's favorite number. Fun fact. But it's the visual. It's the visual. Me batting against a 98-mile-an-hour fastball is funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I got bat speed. I tell you that. I may not make contact, but I got bat speed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I mean, I think it's a great little ballpark. That's condescending. No, I think the capacity is just the right size for this franchise right now. I think the retractable roof was necessary and smart. I think the look over the outfield wall to the downtown skyline is gorgeous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
I think there's a lot good about it, and I'm not going to retrofit that because I object right now to the way the club is being run by the cheapest owner in all of sports, Bruce Sherman. I could go on and on about that, but I think the ballpark itself is perfectly fine. I like the location as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Well, it's the lack of a plan. They're building toward a future that never gets here. They're fielding a minor league lineup this season. A month from now, they probably will trade their only star, Sandy Alcantara, once he proves he's healthy with four or five starts. And their minor league system, I saw the pipeline ranking, they're only mid-pack right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
It's not as if they have a top three minor league system where the immediate future is guaranteed. He is spending egregiously low. They lose 100 games last year, and the payroll falls by $36 million. If I were MLB or the Players Association, I wouldn't stand for the inexcusably low spending that Bruce Sherman is doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
David, I have a specific question to ask you. But first, I have to hark back to something you said and make a point of clarification. When you use the phrase bet your bippy, what is the etymology on that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Why did you say yes? No, because he's right. Sweet, Bippy. And it reminds me, it's from Laugh-In.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I know what I think you spent too much time on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Me versus Dave Hyde.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Yeah, with. Thanks, Juju.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
You know, a couple of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Well, we have to. You can't do it by phone. You've got to meet. You're going to have an executive meeting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Yeah, that kind of thing. I mean, we move on with life. We grow. We expand. I wrote a Back in My Day book. You want to hear Back in My Days? There's about 100 of them in here. Maybe 150 of them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
No, you haven't, because some of them are original. Some of them have not been heard in 10 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
This is the 10th anniversary book of Back in My Days.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Well, that's a good question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
That's my all-time favorite. See, he should rerun some of the best ones, but he won't do it. This guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I know. It was funny.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
If you and I meet in the championship game, we got to make a bet or something like a friendly bet. I'm with it. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
Okay, I was thinking of something a little bit less involved and serious, but we'll see what we can do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes With Juju Gotti
I'm going to have my people get with your people, and we'll get it done. Yep, over lunch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Zoe hated me. Yeah, but still, it was a good interview.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
He can be. That's the beauty of editing. We tighten it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
What did you ask him that he didn't prefer? Oh, Greg.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
No, he's not setting me up. He has no clue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Yeah, you'd think that he would have been prepared to answer that rather than make an issue of the fact that I had asked. I am prepared. We're making fun of you because you can't answer it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
The best thing on my podcast was Alonzo Mourning talking very emotionally about how terrified he was, thinking he was dying, and all that he went through, and why he's coming forward now. to alert people to do the same and to get checkups and to be aware of their health.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
He talked a lot about the Overtown Youth Center that he founded 20 years ago and about his work in Miami to promote affordable housing. in areas that need it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
It's a very good question. It's a very good question.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Yeah, no. You know what? Damn it, I didn't. Oh, get him back on. Man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Not a Bears fan. Plus, his friends aren't technically in the Hall of Fame yet. I mean, that's being a little presumptuous. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
What? They've got a long way to go. They are playing their way out of it. They've got to win a couple more rings.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Are we overcomplicated this, though, with Aaron Rodgers? If he's the king of New York right now, if his time with the Jets has been a massive success and they're headed to the playoffs and they're really good, are we still talking about how unhappy he is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
He was doing some good work out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
A little heavy on the tape, but that would be my only critique.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
You know, I complimented his rap game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
I thought it was great. I would accept that gift. And I don't even know what was in there. But because he rapped it, I would accept it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Oh, I look down on badly wrapped gifts. Really? Yeah. I'm going to be very honest with you. My wife is a wonderful person. She sort of goes really quick with the gift wrap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
At least. She has a lot to wrap. No. But they're all coming in cardboard boxes on the doorstep. No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Sure. I have a new nickname for Roy this week only. Can I unveil it? Roy Jingle Bell-a-me. I like it. Thank you. I do, too. So does Roy. Thanks, Greg. You get it, Dan? You're welcome, Roy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Aaron Rodgers Documentary
Yeah, he is. Yeah. And he's gone through a really rough year with health issues. And he's been very forward and out front with talking about what he's gone through. And we talked to him about it at length on the podcast. It's actually a pretty serious interview. We get nutty and everything because Christopher is a part of it. And he's asking inane questions that upset Zoe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Wow, I love it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I was thinking just Nick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
He is struggling with the wrapping of this gift. That's why he's so great at it, Dan. You've got to take your time with these things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
And a sad Jets helmet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
It's football season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
My God, it's Kane. I'd be interested in Nick's feelings on Michael K. Does he talk too much? Michael? Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Those are choices Michael made, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Michael K., would you attend Dan Levitard's funeral?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Or gets me out of work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
So good. I love the throwing of the bat. It's great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
He's not ending anything. He's just moving to earlier in the day. I mean, from afternoons to middays.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Apologies, yes. That is a big difference, and I apologize. I should have known better, Michael.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Early afternoon drive, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
I would like Nick to have the ability to join us whenever Nick feels like joining us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Hold on, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
Go home now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Nick Turturro's Yankees Fan Rage With David Samson And Michael Kay
He's telling Bob to dial it back. That's what Nick is saying, and I agree with Nick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Right. No, I think I'm above him. I do. Right. If he and I were having that conversation, I would be like, dude, I'm older than you. I've been in the market longer than you have. What would Hyde say? He'd probably say, why are we having this silly conversation? Right. And he'd be right, by the way. He'd be right. Which loop was that that we closed?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Well, he is in my class as a columnist, and you could argue he's a better columnist than I am. But you'd be wrong. I don't think so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Dave Hyde has been in the APSC top ten more often than I have. Wow, but who's counting? Well, I know I've been, I think I've made it three or four times. I think he's made it probably ten times. Wow. No, he's good. He's really good at what he does. I probably have a higher national stature largely because of this show. So, you know, there's different ways you can weight it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I think because I'm a protege of Edwin's more directly than Dave is and longer, I think I deserve that stature in this market. But you could make an argument for Dave.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
it's weird comparing us. It really is. You know, it's like... Be a wrestler. Let's go lean into this. You're like trying to be all... No, it's because I know Dave. I like Dave. I admire him. He's very good at what he does. You know, I think I'm very good at what I do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Very nice. Thank you, Izzy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Yeah, the NBA is struggling to reinvent itself in a way with the NBA Cup in-season tournament. Now they're talking about making a tournament of a single-day all-star game. It's full of gimmickry. They're losing ground. The Miami Heat have been spinning wheels for two or three years. They need to break up this big three right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
You know, trade Butler if you get anything for him before the February 7th deadline because why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Yes. Why not? Blow it up, why not? He's 35 years old. If he has any value and you can get anything for him before February 7th, trade him and move on without him. They have to. The thing about the Panthers, I was at the championship parade in a pouring rain. The crowd there was astounding, given the weather. It was astounding. This is not a niche sport anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
The Panthers are a big deal in town and getting bigger all the time. Five years ago, they've had five years of sustained competitiveness and being really good. Kids born five years ago are just now growing up to become sports fans. What do I want to cover? What's a good team? The Panthers are the best choice in town right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
No, don't explain it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I think it's ridiculous.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
It's awesome if it's hockey because you guys won the cup. If we're talking about all-star games, they're all terrible. The Pro Bowl should be eliminated. It has been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Right. And caring. I'm a caring person. And I've tried to explain it before. My wife is very charitable. She gives to, I would say, easily a dozen causes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Too charitable, you could argue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Yeah, they did have a proclamation from the city, though, calling it Edwin Pope Night or something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
This is where I come in on this. Can he rap? There you go. Rap, rap, rap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Okay. Merry Christmas, Greg. You're entitled to your opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Yeah, it's a little tight, yeah. I should probably be out there on an open desk
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I can tell you what's what. Dave Hyde— No, Dave Hyde and I are friends. I mean, he's... Debatable. You know, he's taller than I am.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Did you invite him to your 70th? I did, actually. He couldn't make it. He was out of town. Some friend? Yeah. Were you there, Stu Gatz? I can't remember. No, I wasn't. But seriously... I'm surprised you remembered that. He'll hold on to those. I keep notes. They're all up here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
We do charitable work in the Cody household. I don't sign the checks per se, but my wife's a big giver, and since I married her, I get credit for her big giving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
That's not a wrap-in, so now I've got... Half-assed at that bag. Whoa, what's that? What is that, a slab of ribs?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Not a real Christmas bow. Okay, I don't know. Which one is it? The brown one. It's the one that looks like it's meat from a butcher shop.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
By the way, the rhino is actually a white elephant. What does it say?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I give away nothing. The to, if it is indeed a gift from me, which I'm not acknowledging.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
It says from Rudy Martinez. Ah, big difference. That's a fine. It is a fine. Who's Rudy? Who's Rudy Martinez? That's for you to figure out. Does he work here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
Video department, Dano. Who is Rudy Martinez?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
No, he had one last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Is The NHL Better Than The NBA?
I'm a fan of Dave Hyde's. I don't know why it has to be either or.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. Oh, that would be a great call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
And fumbles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Wow. Good contribution. Vinny Testaverde, 35. Vinny the T, UM. Go Canes. Frank Tepuca.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Sid Luckman.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Yes. The broadcaster from the movies. Go on, keep going. Played by?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
There's a moment associated with the Burgundy character.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
I was happy to be fine. You're great at what you do, though. I'm honored. You're welcome. Career highlight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Yeah, my top 100 guests. Dan, unfortunately, just missed the top 10.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
You know what? You got that right. That's true. That's true. Erlacher magic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Already?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
Well, yeah, not Florida. I mean, Florida is merely taking advantage of what the NCAA has allowed. But do you agree? I mean, we've had more than 2,000 transfers just in this window. And...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Cowboy Hat Made of Bacon (feat. Roy Wood Jr.)
I want to ask Roy that as much as it benefits the good teams, the rich get richer now because of the transfer portal. But it's been bad for the sport, I think, because it's just it's chaotic now. You had players transferring from teams that made the Sweet 16 this year during the tournament. It just seems ridiculous to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
This is largely performative, but we need to establish some reasonable doubt. Yes, exactly. Stugatz. I always like leaving Dan on high. Because he's so vulnerable, I just unfairly fade down the chickens and just leave him by himself. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Yeah. He spent his career like that, playing middle linebacker, not being Brian Erlacher, getting 1,000 tackles and taking 10 years to make the Hall of Fame. I didn't realize you were going to take out Zach Thomas. Is there bad blood here? What's going on? No, I love Zach Thomas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
He's been on the Greg Cody Show podcast several times.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
No, I milked that for like three columns because I was pushing for the game for years. And you do a comparative of his career stats and Brian Erlacher's, and Zach Thomas has the upper hand. It's ridiculous that he isn't seen as Brian Erlacher, except his teams famously were mediocre.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
So David, this is a conference where there's only one dominant team, and if you're Denver, you're allowed to think, you know what, we're underperforming, we could still be the second best team in this conference. You don't think that firing an unpopular coach, even now, even with this timing, is going to provide some sort of a spark? You don't believe in that spark theory based on sudden change?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Now, David, you didn't try to talk Loria out of firing this manager just because the manager had yelled at him and told him to shut up? That doesn't seem like a firing offense to me unless the owner is especially thin-skinned.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
You know, he was stout. He was in the middle somewhere. Number 54, maybe? That would have been great if I'd thought to do that. That would have been terrific. Nice knowing his number, by the way. Most don't, I'm sure. Especially those people on the plane. They have no idea.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
After last night's event, we went by an unnamed local bar. What event? I might have hit it pretty hard. You know, I went to an acting class, Dan. Did you really? Yeah, you know, I'm not. Wow. Most people know that I was in a major motion picture in the early 80s, Absence of Malice, but I'm not content. You know, I believe in life. You got to grow. You got to inch forward. You got to move.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

You got to advance. Got to want to know. Got to want to grow. Yeah, exactly. I want to know. I want to grow. I want to learn. I want to earn. And so I find myself last night. Let's start the show. Among amateur actors.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Oh, you know, I hate to talk about myself, but it came up that I was in an acting class last night. Even though I've appeared, you know, in a film, I was among beginning actors, which was refreshing for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I was a student. You could teach the class, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Yeah. What can I tell you? Like I say, I want to immerse myself in learning. I want to learn. I want to earn. And so... I was in a class. It was very enlightening. The instructor, I don't know what you'd call an acting instructor. You nailed it. She was excellent. She opened my eyes to stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
You know, when I was in Absence of Malice, Sidney Pollack, the acclaimed late great director, didn't have a lot of personal dealing with me. You know, I dealt with subdirectors. And so this time I felt like I was with a real acting coach. And she was great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
That's a good point. By the way, you all make a note, Dan. Meadowlark needs to spring for coffee sleeves, because when I first started drinking this coffee, it was almost too hot to pick up, but now it's fine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
Yep. you know what i mean yeah i do know what you mean easy street yeah thank you very good good coffee though i gotta say it christopher was supposed to get me some uh brand name coffee uh outward and he reneged on his deal And so I'm left with whatever brand this is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Were you yelling in acting class?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
There was some yelling in acting class. I was asked to read scripts and do roles that required me to raise my voice and character. And so I'm paying for it today. This is the price of being an actor. And raising your voice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
I mean, not only is the season not over, they could still win home court advantage in the playoffs. It's crazy to fire them when... They fired him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
They do, for sure. But when I hear a coach question his players' pride, that's a red flag. I don't think any player, and it isn't just this generation, I don't think any player ever wants to have their pride or their effort questioned. You can question the physicality of their play or something they're doing technically wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: That's The Price Of Being An Actor
But to say that you don't have any pride or you're not trying hard enough. Sarcastically saying, oh, they don't watch film.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's not true at all. If you're taking a small plane, and this has happened to me, they do ask you your weight. Yeah. Okay.

If you survive a plane crash, you deserve a little bit of credit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
But also what an airline would offer. It goes above the airline, because when you survive a plane crash, you are no longer a human being. You become supernatural. You become a superhero. You're right. To the degree that I think anyone who survives a plane crash should immediately become a cardinal in the Catholic Church. What if it's not their religion? It doesn't matter. You become like a deity.

The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
I am. I am hearing this for the first time. This is why the director of media relations was created. The whole job exists. So you can tell somebody like Jerry Jones, hey, Jerry, Google glory hole and never see the phrase again in public.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It meant exactly what I think it means now.

The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
No, he's the most powerful owner in the NFL, I think. And still, and they're still America's team 30 years after their A-Day. They own a niche with the New York Yankees and very few other franchises in all of sports. You know, they're unbeatable. No matter how much they lose, they're the Dallas Cowboys. They're always going to be the most valuable franchise. Always.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't know why, but Jerry Jones realizes that. And quite frankly, if I was a billionaire who owned a pro franchise, you'd have a tough time keeping me away from a microphone. I think I would, I'm surprised there aren't more owners like Jerry Jones. I'm surprised he's the anomaly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
Well, let's hear Greg's stance. Right. Simply that until I survive a plane crash. I have nothing but respect. What are you doing in the plane? Well, other people are panicking. You're doing something different. You've got an angle going. You're burying your head a little more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
You've got survivor secrets. Who knows what goes on inside a plane plummeting to earth. And so Zygacki can live to tell the tale. Now, granted... It was a small plane in his case. It's not like he's in a Boeing 767. That's more impressive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones' Glory Hole Comments (feat. Dianna Russini)
Do it in a big plane. The survivor of a big jet airliner accrues more credit from me than the survivor of a small plane crash, quite frankly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Yes, there were planes when Hitler was around.

The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia

There was reporting in the Rolling Stone last week that... some of the cut positions in the FAA were, quote, lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies, employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes, and staffers in charge of medically clearing pilots. And the flying hazards like cranes
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Billy Apologizes to Australia
cranes did sort of my ears perked up because this is right next to the airport and that was one of the reasons that um people in you know the at the airport and officials were concerned about the location because there's going to be all this tall construction material right next to the runway but you know luckily all of those people may have been laid off now so they can continue construction you guys don't trust our infrastructure in south florida do you no less now

Way too many. You don't care, though. Way, way too many.

Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
But it was a digestible number. Like, when it was five, there was a chance that I could name all five nominees, and I would therefore have an interest. You're smirking because you just know he's right. No, 10 is too many. I mean, they're doing that to get people to the movies.

Hold on. There are different skills for different things, right? Could I hit a 105-mile-an-hour fastball? Probably not. Probably not. I'd make contact, but it wouldn't go out of the infield probably. Could I take a handoff and run in an NFL game? Yeah, but I'd lose three yards. But acting, to me, is an art form, a skill that is attainable. If you have any talent for performance at all.

Oh, that. She's not in it anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Okay, because he's referring to someone who was in last season's White Lotus, not this season. I love that they completely changed cast every year. Which is the role you think you could play? I can play the guy who's not the main guy who's in trouble and always on the phone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

It's called self-confidence. Try it sometime.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Because I haven't attempted to act. I've never given it a chance.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Okay, here's the thing. I need to say this because he's painting me as the guy who thinks he can win an Academy Award the first time he walks on a set. All I'm saying is that relative to other skills such as we see in sports, I don't think acting is that tough. It's not... you know, playing tennis against, you know, Jacob Skinner or whatever his name is. It's not. I love you trying to find stuff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You know what? Venus is 44. I think I could stay in a set with her. Oh, you shut your mouth. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. That was a joke. That was a joke. Wow, that's good acting. You acted like a sexist. That was good acting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

You don't hear many references to the Wood brothers anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Yeah, they're suddenly a team in a franchise that doesn't matter. I saw a list of the top 15 most watched NBA games this season. Heat, not among them. Like there's no interest. Other than the Jimmy Butler trade drama, this has been a nondescript season that isn't even really worth talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I don't think that the Heat for the first time in a long time don't have what I would call a star player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
And Ware has had a good rookie season. Last time I looked, he was among the Rookie of the Year frontrunners, so they've developed him pretty quickly.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Even when they were making the finals. I said... Oh, here we go. No, no. I said, if Jimmy Butler is your best player, you're going to be good, but you're not going to compete for a championship in this league. And Jimmy Butler is gone now, and their best player is, you know, a guard who scores 40 points one night and then is four for 14 the next night. Bam out of Bible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Relative to what they could have gotten. A relative home run. If they didn't trade him, what would they have gotten for Jimmy Butler? It's not a home run. No, tell me. Take it back.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Yeah. They did the best they could at the trade deadline to get something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Durant was never going to come here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
I'm not denying that. But what I said two years ago is true, that if Jimmy Butler is your best player, you're not a championship contending team. I don't care if you just made the luck to make it to the final.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
He's been around for a decade. We know what he is. He's a starter caliber player though.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Because I've seen trailers that are like... About 15, 20 feet. They shouldn't be more than a minute.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
Yeah. Sailor Wren. Trailers should not be more than a minute. They used to be short, now they're like five minutes. They're like many movies.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Could Greg Be Walton Goggins?
For sure. We saw that in the unrivaled league where they barely let fans in. They don't need fans. But I've always said long before the streaming age, one of my complaints about going to a stadium is that you learn less at the game than you would watching it on TV in instances such as injuries. If a player is injured, you're asking the guy sitting next to you, what happened to him?

The worst possible apology, quote unquote, is when you say something like he did, which is, oh, that's not me. That's not part of my character. That's not who I am.

Don Levitard. Quiet man. Yes. You know, I'm a married man. I don't cheat on my wife, despite that gratuitous line back in my day. Stugatz. I wish you were here, my wife. I really miss her. No, I don't. That's the thing about being married. You know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
All right. All right. We'll see you. All right, and then, you know, I'm going to see her in two days. How's jumping, Charlie?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
I appreciate that. I was in that thing. A hologram of me was sitting here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
I actually remember the phone number of my childhood house, 1440, which I haven't lived in in 55 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
Well, do you agree with me, Elle, because when I hear what she said, I think that's an odd attitude for a coach. I think most coaches would say, I don't worry about who we're playing. Bring it on. Bring them on. We're going to beat whoever's in our path, or something to that effect, as opposed to complaining about, oh, we've got a tougher road.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
I agree with Jess. I think it's an embarrassment to the university. I mean, maybe if the athletic director wants to say that or the head coach, that's their domain. But the governor, hey, governor, you don't have anything more important going on in your state that you need to worry about than one of your college teams not making the tournament?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
Yeah, that's beneath the governor's office. It really is. I'm not even saying that as a bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Block M
And here's one more thing for the governor of West Virginia. If I'm on the selection committee and it's a tiebreaker, this school or that school for the last invitation, gee, it's a no-brainer that you're going to take North Carolina, which has a rich history in college basketball, over West Virginia. So West Virginia blew this on different levels.

Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
So chances are I'm hinting that she might have been one of the final five balls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
What I confirmed was that there's more pressure in this seat, being the second guy instead of the third guy. It's like there's more pressure batting third in the lineup than batting eighth. You know, that kind of thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah, stay the course is sort of an odd thing to say. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Not much difference. Lead off. The only pressure spots in a baseball lineup are batting first, third, and fourth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
That just doesn't make sense. Everything else is gravy, you know. That kind of thing, because, you know, if you're batting 7th or 8th, you're on a holiday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Don Levitard. What do I got here? I got a Magnum condom. We won't get that out. That's shocking. Stugatz. Here's a picture of Christopher when he was like three years old.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
That's a subtle reminder. Never forget. This is the Don Levitar Show with the Stugatz. I do give him credit for honesty because, as you said, you rarely hear any coach at any level in any sport say something to the effect, I'm out of answers. We've tried everything and nothing's working, which is essentially what he said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, that's true. You know, the guy batting 8th could bat 4th that inning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
When did that happen?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Really? What's the rationale behind that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I would think so, too. But that's... No, you're right. I mean, we're on the same page on that one. Second, that's an easy spot. If the leadoff guy gets on, you're in a no-lose situation. You're bunt. Anybody's still bunt. The sacrifice bunt used to be a thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah. Back in the day, if you batted a home run hitter leadoff, you were laughed at. You were laughed at in the league. It never happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
it's amazing that the league was this successful after they tried so hard and and gave the moon offered the moon to caitlyn clark to play and she's really the one prominent player who said no thanks but it was a great season anyway Good for the league that the Lunar Owls lost because most of the regular season, it looked like they were going to waltz to the championship almost uncontested.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
They were 13-1. The next best record in the regular season was 7-7. They ran away with it, and the fact that they lost in the semis was great. But that place seats 850 people, and I don't know how they can sustain that formula because the bigger they get, the more popular they get. There's going to be a demand beyond the 850.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I don't acknowledge it. I don't think it's true. Is there any quantifiable proof to that? Name one team with the best hitter batting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
No, you can't. I mean, it's ridiculous, the Marlins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah, long enough to have earned a Hall of Fame vote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I don't know Kill Tony from Adam. I assume it's a very popular person or thing. So if you're buying, if you're Netflix buying that, why would you change what you know to be successful? If I'm Netflix, I'm saying, hey, kill Tony. Not only don't change, turn up the volume. I don't think they're saying that. I mean, why wouldn't they? They know what they're buying.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I'm just saying it's good for business, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Attention? Controversy?

A cruise ship, for those who haven't cruise shipped. Long hallways. Yeah, long ass hallways. And depending on what flight of stairs you walk up, you're never quite sure. Are you a starboard? Are you the other?

Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
We're going to the Caribbean. Be more specific. St. Kit. Kits. Whatever. St. Kits. Okay, that sounds like a small island. That's a name that implies it's a very, very small island. Well, you nailed it. Okay, St. Kits and something. Tobago. Nevis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Nevis doesn't even sound like the name of a country.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I don't know what you're talking about.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah, it's an estimate. Who can remember that far back, to be honest with you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
You know, I could have been off by a year. I think I might have been a year younger than I estimated.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, we have a March Madness special that dropped today. Yesterday. Yesterday. And by that, I mean we don't talk about college basketball at all, but I do my Mount Gregmore, which, as everyone knows, is a top five, not a top four. I do my Mount Gregmore of marches, brackets, baskets, and balls. And under the category of March. Those top five marches of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah, I happened to lose my virginity in the month of March, as I recall. And so that was one of the five marches. And there's a poll online today under my Twitter feed. It's always Twitter to me, still not X. That includes a vote on which of the five should be the number one seed march. March 77, running away with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
No, I was in my early 20s. It happens. I don't lie like most people. Well, everyone else is lying. I mean, I think most. Why would I be embarrassed about that? I hadn't found anybody, or should I say no one had found me. I was playing Stratomatic baseball when I should have been dating in high school. What can I say? I'm living my life. I'm doing the best I can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, Christopher was howling with laughter as if it was like abnormally old. Maybe it is. I don't know. But see, I don't I'm not swayed by whatever anybody else thinks. Like you say, I should be embarrassed by that. I didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, way to psychoanalyze me, you know, without it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I was somewhat surprised by Christopher's reaction, because to me, I have never and and still don't think of it as abnormal. You know, somebody. So it was the FAU dorms.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
It took me a while. Keep in mind, I worked for the Miami Herald. They had me work 39 hours a week so that I was essentially full-time, but they didn't have to pay me like a full-time employee or start my benefits clock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah, but back then, it was the heyday of journalism. Are you kidding me? 70s and 80s? That's when we were king.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Is it hay? No, because it's H-E-Y. It's not H-A-Y. So what is a hay day? A hay day is the best of times. I know what a hay day is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
That's crazy. I probably get about $78 an article, a column.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Yeah, final five marches, brackets, baskets, and balls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
No, I'll give you an example. One of my top five brackets is the, carpenters know it well, the angled bracket, which is a classic 90 degree bracket which affixes together two different types of wood. I was making my, I once had a tall table around my avocado tree and I used angled brackets to attach the tabletop to the four by four legs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
That's an example of a classic bracket that nobody ever gives respect to. Nobody knows what an angle bracket is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I believe that, I think one of them was the short-lived television show called Brackets. Yep, that was on there. Okay, Jesus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, keep in mind, it's tough to make a final five. It's tough to make a Mount Gregg five.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, he's my executive producer. I pay him as such, and sometimes I rely on him to fill in the details.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Well, he's feeling a little bit entitled. If I ask Christopher how much time he devotes to the Greg Cody Show podcast on a weekly basis, I don't know whether he's going to exaggerate it or not. I'm saying some weeks it's maybe an hour.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Wow, isn't he? Stu who? I'm kidding. I don't deflate. However, it is more pressure in this seat. You know, I'm used to steering the show because of the Greg Cody Show podcast, which has my name in it, so it indicates that... Twice, the Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody. With Greg Cody, right. But no, I'm thrilled to be in this seat, honored to be in the Stu Gotts seat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
We have a phone meeting. We don't have a meeting where we're all in a room. Here's the meeting. Nobody's saying anything that's worthwhile.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
That's a tough answer because Christopher is the second in command on air. Like he's my Robin to Batman. But Yeti does most of the producing work, most of the social media work and stuff like that. So I need both. So Yeti.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
I think all four of them came out fabulously. The idea for this was Christopher's, but my execution was top notch. And I would not say that if I didn't believe it. Will Lucille Ball appear in top five balls of all time? You know, she was very important in my life. I love Lucy. I mean, Lucy and Ricky. You know, that was ahead of its time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Pressure of The Second Seat
Ricky, a Cuban guy, speaking in a very thick accent, almost like Poppy, maybe more so. And that was a time in TV when there were very few people of color or, you know, foreign nations on TV. So that was trailblazing. Lucille Ball, one of the great women, dynamic women of the entire 20th century. Politics, screen, No matter what the category is, she was just fantastic.

Yeah, I just mistook their names. Is Lorne Green Bonanza? Is that Bonanza? Correct. Second greatest Lorne ever. Okay. Just faking it on SNL.

By the way, I want to thank you for not being on the air yesterday because whenever the Levitard Show isn't on Monday, my podcast skyrockets in terms of downloads when we come out on Monday.

It's live in the moment. It's live in the moment. Isn't everything? We also unearthed on my latest episode of The Greg Cody Show with Greg Cody an audio from several years ago when a whole stadium of Dolphins fans were chanting my name. I don't believe that. Yeah, that was real.

If it's your boat and we're having a nice excursion on the water and you say, hey, Greg, you want to steer the boat or whatever, pilot the boat, whatever boat drivers do, then it's a kind gesture. Thank you. I think you captain a boat. Captain or drive a boat?

Es gibt eine große Unterschiede zwischen dem Wert eines Quarterbacks und dem Wert eines Widerhälter. Egal wer es ist, Restrepo hat eine tolle Karriere. Ich glaube nicht, dass er ein großer Star in der NFL sein wird.

Okay, they win that game without Restrepo. They also win that game if Cam Ward plays the second half.

Genau, aber das hat seine Meinung verändert. So wie Cam Ward. Es ist schwer zu glauben, dass Mario Cristobal einen erfolgreichen, gewonnenen College-Quarterback für Emery Williams aufrufen wird.

The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
No, I find orange juice to be too tart or too sweet. I've never had an orange juice that walks that line. Really? It's one extreme or the other. By the way, thank God Cam Ward had a good first quarter in his first game or else they might have benched him. That's why they call him Cam Quarter. Exactly.

But you still need a plastic straw. Yes, that I do. Oh, ridiculous. Go back to paper straws. I mean, plastic straws. You sound like us in Canada. Well... You know what? Don't get me started on that. By the way, put on the poll.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Dan Is A Racist And Sexist
Put on your poll if you approve of the price hike of eggs. Because I defend the price hike of eggs. Okay, I'm in Publix the other day. I wander by the egg aisle. I see the eggs are, I think, $6.49 or $5.99 or something. Sizeable hike, warranted. Okay, respect the chicken. They do a lot of work. You know, I mean, eggs are, you can cook them four or five different ways. They're all great.

Eggs have been underpriced for years. Let's quit complaining about the price of eggs.

The bird flu emanates from non-chicken birds flying overhead, dropping all their stuff and that infects the chickens. Chickens get a bad rap. People think bird flu started with chickens. What did it start with? It starts with, McGill will back me up on this. Not today. It's not in today.

Yeah, Jonathan Martin, when he did the TED Talk der den Entree zu dieser Geschichte führte. Er hat das gar nicht erwähnt. Ich meine, das ist das, was er am meisten bekannt oder berühmt ist.

Ja, es war wundervoll. Und es ist nur ein Exemplar von diesem Event. Was das NBA All-Star-Weekend geworden ist, ist komplette Trash. LeBron James ist größer als die NBA, der einzige Spieler, der ist.

Ja, es war unglaublich, dieses letzte Wochenende zu sehen, denn Hockey hat Basketball in den Arsch geschlagen. Und es war unglaublich, dass Basketball versucht hat, sein ganzes All-Star-Weekend zu rejigern und es schmerzhaft verfehlt hat.

I was probably like, that kind of thing. Something. Okay, no. The home run call was that kind of swing, that kind of thing. Stugatz. Oh. That's a good call. Thank you. And plus, it doesn't matter who's hitting it. Like, you're not tailoring it to a particular name. You know, all that jazz. You know, you don't got to do that. Oh, that would be a great call.

Deep question.

Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Yeah, a midway. A carnival midway with calliope music.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
They need help at everything. Especially now that they've lost Javon Holland. But they got Zach Wilson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Quit calling it a Ren Faire. Use its full name, please. Ridiculous. Festival, not a fair also. Yeah, it's a festival. Ren Fest. Yeah, I dress like a minstrel when I go to a Ren Faire. I don't know what that means. The time of the month? A minstrel. Like a minstrel show?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
That when he said, let's move on. Okay. All right. Innocent mistake by me, if indeed it was a mistake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Oh, I thought it was a period. A medieval, hence Renaissance, a medieval singer or dancer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
I'm going to Google it. I think you should Google it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
Not real good. It's education. But again, medieval musician. Let's stick to medieval musician.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jason Benetti's Absurd Observations & Limited Fakes
I don't like any of this. I don't want to learn. I do want to learn. I do want to earn. I was referring to a medieval. Okay. All right.

The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
I'm not gonna say Larry David patterned himself after me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Die Amine-Saison. Eine Saison, weniger gut als vor zwei Jahren. Er hat es mit einem anderen guten Jahr verfolgt. Er ist solid. Ich will das nicht beurteilen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers ist jetzt versäumt. Er hat nicht viele Möglichkeiten. Ein Monat her, zwei Wochen her, ich glaube, alle haben festgestellt, dass er mit den Raiders signieren wird. Und sie sind andersherum gegangen. Ich denke, Aaron Rodgers wird jetzt den ersten Start-up-Quarterback-Job nehmen, den er gefordert hat, weil die Möglichkeiten wundern.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Es sind nicht so viele Teams übrig, die aktiv shoppen und einen Quarterback suchen. Und die Idee, dass Aaron Rodgers nicht eine Offerung bekommt, die er gut genug fühlt, wächst am Tag.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Und zu deinem Punkt, dass niemand für die Giants spielen wollte, sie haben nur Javon Holland gesichert, der ein großer Freelancer für Miami verloren hat. Also, ich denke, dass die Giants Geld anbieten, ein Team zu machen, das die Leute spielen wollen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Yeah, and if the Giants end up being Aaron Rodgers' last option, he will play for the Giants. He's not going to sit out the season at his age. He still has the ego and the need to sign and start somewhere, and he's running out of options.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
right away if he got fired. Right, he would, but it's been a long time since the Steelers' last Super Bowl. You know what else has been a long time? Since Aaron Rodgers' last Super Bowl. Career underachiever. One Super Bowl at age 42 is, he's great, don't get me wrong, first ballot Hall of Famer, but when you win one Super Bowl with that talent and that longevity, that's a career underachiever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Okay, but would Aaron Rodgers be an upgrade over Daniel Jones, for example? Yeah, yes he would. For one year, Aaron Rodgers is a good stopgap one-year quarterback for somebody. But he hasn't been. Well, he hasn't been for the Jets. He was on a bad Jets team and he couldn't elevate it. But it's a fact that no matter the competition, it's a fact that his second half of last season was good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
The defense was considered okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Well, Levitard is. Well done. By the way, does the winner of that contest get to not only watch the game with you, but sit on your lap? Well, no. No?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Turn the switch up a little bit every day so that we're 100% going into the season, but at the same time staying healthy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
I don't like the idea of reality TV being so real that they're all of a sudden in a therapy room when Alec Baldwin is going through counseling. I think that's too much. I don't want to know that much about Alec. I wish him well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
I think there's a difference between what reality TV used to be, right? Reality TV, I think it started off by putting 10 people on a deserted island and make them do this, that and the other. It shouldn't involve... Someone's personal therapy, someone's mental health being splayed out for all to see. I'm just uncomfortable with that. Someone's never watched the Kardashians.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
Well, I don't like that either.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The Jilted Lovers of Aaron Rodgers
A reality show, right? I mean, that's the Paul Brothers.

Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
To answer your question, would I be surprised if all of a sudden it came out that LeBron James has used HGH? No. Just as I was not surprised late afternoon yesterday when my wife said, hey, did you hear about Aaron Eckblad? It isn't a shock when any professional athlete, to me, tries to get better or tries to get healthier sooner. by using medicinal means. It's against the rules.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Maybe it shouldn't be against the rules. I don't know, but it doesn't surprise me. The only thing that I don't like is to assume that Chael Sonnen is right and to assume that LeBron James is not quite the angel that we've known for two decades.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Okay, and then when it's too close, it's like... We hear you breathing. Quit breathing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Thank you. God, isn't that the truth? All right. Go on with the show. The show must go on, as they say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Yeah. Well, not only that, but... The mirror is open to interpretation. Like when I see myself in a mirror, I see myself differently than when I see my photo on TV or, you know, something else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
You didn't think it was Russell, maybe?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Damn it is. I hoped it was Russell. Now that would have been a good signing. No. Yes. I'll take Zach Wilson over Russell Wilson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Well, the Dolphins needed a proven veteran backup quarterback behind Tua. Zach Wilson ain't that guy. He's a draft bust. That's true. He's not proven. I'm not arguing he's proven. He's played three seasons, and he's got more interceptions than touchdowns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Yeah, I mean, if you're trying to flatter a dubious free agent signing, that's the thing to say. Well, what about other quarterbacks who we wrote off three years into their career and they bloomed and they turned out great? Yeah, if you want to believe that, go ahead. Well, the Dolphins believe it. Of course they do. They also got him cheap.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
right but like yeah he's a worse option than russell wilson if the two of them like if i had russell wilson and zach wilson i would take russell wilson and they also signed zach wilson to a one-year contract which isn't believing that this is a guy who might actually be your quarterback if tua peter's out with his health it's them signing a backup and chris to your point like we know what russell wilson is yeah i know that russell wilson is better than zach wilson right
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Yes. Let's just refer to it as an unflattering caricature.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Yeah, I noticed that. Journalist Chris Cody. He's a fan. He's a season ticket holder. I mean, I expect that from Christopher. But as someone who's not a season ticket holder and doesn't cheerlead for the team, I love the signing. I mean, they got him for next to nothing, potentially a second round pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
You know, for the stretch run to have him as your second line or whatever, I think it's a wonderful deal. Bill Zito continues to amaze with some of the things he's doing. He had a great team, wasn't satisfied, made it even better. Paul Maurice is one of the all-time great coaches. I mean, they're just state-of-the-art right now in the NHL and have been for the past three seasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Why are we acting all surprised that a player traded to a team would speak glowingly of that new team? This is what traded players do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Right, well, if you're going to be traded, you want to go to the defending Stanley Cup champion that might win again. No duh. I mean, no brainer on that one, Brad Marchand. He made a good career decision.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
I'm not a slave to that. I don't have to say Jack every time I say Jack. It's your thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

That's what I called my grandfather. He's right about that, yeah. He has said that on multiple occasions. Thank you. I'm in reruns.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Because I'm not a slave to them. We heard you say that the first time. They're on my terms. Please stop saying that phrase.

You're the one who was lifting him up into the rafters. I'm the one. I just put ropes under his armpits for the visual of him rising into the rafters. Let's start the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Yeah, I do that all the time. I have to take down tweets and redo them. It's tough not to make an error. Matt Collins, I think number 57 on the Greg Cody Show, all-time list of all-time guests. So is Ekblad, number 85. All my guys are moving. They're being traded. They're being busted for dope. I mean, all kinds of things are happening.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
I wish that Ekblad, or any athlete suspended for PEDs, would just instantly own up to it instead of implying, oh, inadvertently, you know, I took a medicine, I didn't know this. Ekblad, he's 29 years old, okay, he hears the career clock ticking a little bit, no longer the best defenseman on his team, and he wanted to get a little bit of an edge. It's human nature.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
It's illegal, but it's human nature.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
I do wonder, when they made the deal a couple of weeks ago for Seth Jones, did they have an inkling that this might be coming?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Oh, that's crazy. Live video. Who knows around here?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Roy Missed The News
Yeah, but what does that mean, though? I mean, retroactively, are we now suspicious about Tom Brady's longevity and success? I don't throw any shade on LeBron James based on something an ex-UFC fighter says. I think he's built up too much credibility to assume that just because he's still great at 40 that he's on performance matches.

I gotta go to Buffalo with Bernie Bumbley I will always remember that quote from a Dolphins coach named Gary

Hour 2: The Child Vampire
Well, Dan, a fight we had led us to a divorce But that's okay, cause how could you know that, of course? Me and Bianca didn't make it this time But that's okay, Dan, because I have a new wife I didn't come here to discuss my divorce, but that's fine Now you know that I have a new wife

Hour 2: The Child Vampire
It's 11 a.m. on a Thursday. The media crowd shuffles in. There's an old man sitting next to me, smoking cigs as we ask our questions. He says to us, who needs me, dummy? As the dolphins head to play the bills. But he's talking to me, I am young Greg Cody. Writing columns with takes that'll kill. La, la, la, that kind of thing. La, la, di-di-da-da-ding.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Right. Yeah, I'm sitting on my wallet right now. It's reassuring to feel your ass and the wallets. Also back problems. Yeah. Well. You know, it's normal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Down The Rabbit Hole (feat. Ron Magill)
Yeah, of course I do. But you'll say it for anything. Getting up, getting out of the car, that's the one. Well, it's a sense of accomplishment. Right. When you either sit down or get up, you feel like you've done something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
Good for him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
Mina, the example I gave was Cam Ward declining to throw and explaining that y'all have five years of tape on me. That should be sufficient to know about me. Is he wrong?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
Mina, as a respected journalist, do you think that Levitard has abdicated all claim to journalism integrity by sacrificing his integrity, banging a drum, and cheerleading at a Florida Panthers game?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
Integrity. That's what integrity sounds like, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
I thought it was interesting what Cam Ward said in explaining why he wasn't going to throw at the NFL Combine. And he basically said, y'all got five years of tape on me throwing. That should be enough. I'm paraphrasing, but that's essentially what he said. He's not wrong. I think it's a couple of weeks of content for the media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
I don't think fans particularly care to see whether somebody ran a 4.37 or a 4.4. You can't say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
I would ask Mina Kimes this question and be interested in her answer, because I think that NFL front offices and scouting departments would be just fine without a combine. I think if all of a sudden the NFL said, nope, we're going to save millions of dollars, no more annual combine in Indianapolis, the draft goes on as scheduled.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
Everybody's fine because everybody's had years to scout these people. Everybody has them at their private visits. To interview in person, you don't need the combine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
Yeah, but the smaller school players are known, right? I mean, nobody, you know, the Division III player is going to be drafted if he's good enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
And so you think his entire draft stock changes, flips, because of a bad combine performance?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Jessica Barfs Up Her Sandwich (feat. Mina Kimes)
But then they show the tape of Will Howard in an actual game against an actual good opponent kicking ass.

I can't recall what face I made, but it had to be one filled with incredulous wonder that you would place Levitard clowning himself in front of America among a momentous occasion. It's just, he'll never live it down. So you're not going to make the face, thanks. I don't know what face I made. You're beating the drum, that's a privilege, that's an honor.

ist, dass du die letzte Botschaft deiner Journalismus-Integrität abdeckst. Nicht nur figurativ, sondern literally. Für einen der lokalen Themen. Du würdest vielleicht auf dem Payroll sein.

Ich glaube, es ist schon lange her, dass er für den Miami Herald geschrieben hat.

Go ahead. It was a great video. Hell of an edit. It was a great video. I'm going to say that. The production, the interviews were all great. You know, a lot of me got left on the cutting room floor.

And they've also been very smart as a franchise to align themselves with Fort Lauderdale, to build their whole training facility there, to align with a bigger city, because let's face it, they would rather be playing in downtown Fort Lauderdale than in Sunrise, but as it is, it's sort of the best of both. They are Broward's team, proudly.

I was looking at Variety, the trade magazine today, and I think the headline was something like, Levitard takes boffo turn at cat skin or something like that.

Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Yeah, the Four Nations was a big part of the NHL just absolutely having a moment now. You've got Ovechkin chasing Gretzky. You just had the stadium series game that drew 95,000 people to Ohio Stadium. It's a big time for NHL hockey, for sure. Oh, but I wanted to ask you, Dan, Dolph and Danny. Transition. When you were in the speakeasy, were there any actual stars there other than a former player?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
If my wife, who is a hockey fan, could have made it, I would have possibly gone with her.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Ah, you know, I'm a hubby.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Yeah. Hubba hubba hubby hubby. Um, no, I considered going. Would you take it as a personal insult that I didn't go watch you wearing a cheerleader outfit banging a drum? Come on. I saw the video. You know, a little quick on the pace, but as has been said, better that than a little slow. Uh... You did the best you could. By the way, are you missing something? Oh, here it is, your integrity.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
You know, those variety headlines are always weird. But, you know, you beat the drum pretty well, I thought. A little fast on the pace. A little fast on the pace. At one point, it looked like you were about to faint. I would have paid to see that. But, you know, overall, it's something you've got to eat now. It's something you've got to live with. You know, you wear it on your shoulders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Well, it's probably like 20 minutes in fairness, particularly if it's early rush hour on a weekday. What was I doing? I was living my life. I don't trail in the perfume of celebrity. You know, I was living a normal man's life. I was in my backyard getting ready for bulk pickup, which is Thursday. Got a big, beautiful pile out on my swale. Wow. You know, I'm doing regular guy things.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I'm a man of the people. I always say that. Yeah, speakeasy. You know, had you told me it was a speakeasy with an open bar? I might have gone. You know, I might have gone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
She could not, no. Because I'm with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
You're like an ox with a big yoke now. You've got the yoke of having been a Panther cheerleader on your shoulders. It's invisible. You feel it. And the rest of us see it. That's it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
And where would, after the speakeasy, once the game starts, where would I have been seated?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Well, had it been a 7.30 or 8 o'clock start, I might have gone. I made a quick call to the Panthers saying, hey, any way you can delay the start of the game by a half hour, they wouldn't do it. They were very uncooperative. Dan did the same thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I remember well, just after Prohibition, those things bloomed like a flower all over the country.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Yeah. I could see you turning down the heat parades. It's good you did that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Go ahead, Greg. Well, I'm going to break news. I hope you don't mind me revealing this, but this is just the beginning of a Levitard cheerleader tour of South Florida. You know, this coming football season, old Dahl fans remember Dahl fan Denny. Dolph and Danny. He's going to be beating a drum on the sideline at Dolphin Games. He's going to take a turn as a heat dancer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
He's going to wear the Miami Marlins fish head. He's just, you know, this is a new lane for Dan. And I think, you know, he's going all in. I've got to give him that. You know, he's cheerleader Dan, and it's just something we've got to get used to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Dolphin Danny. No, I meant Dolphin Danny. I mean Denny. Superimpose Dan's face under that hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
By the way, happy Fat Tuesday. But seriously, that's all I got.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Didn't you think he was just a little fast?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
I'm telling you. You know what I would have paid to say? Remember a few weeks ago on the golf course, you had me hit an exploding golf ball? Yes. I would have paid to have an exploding drum, where the first time he beat it, the drumstick went right through it because it was made out of paper tissue. That would have been good. That would have been great. He probably would have injured his arm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Come on, Greg. I'm turning it off right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy

Shadowin' it. Shadowin' it. Go ahead, Craig. Homer Dan. Oh, do I delight. Do I delight in this, the number of times you have called me a homer over the years. Never again. The next time you call me a homer, and it will slip. I want them to cue up the video of you in a cheerleader outfit holding a drum, literally cheerleading for the Florida Panthers. Where's your pom-pon today?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Craig's right about that. What?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Not-So-Little Drummer Boy
Yeah, like he exposed himself as a cheerleader and then proved to be a bad one by not even staying for the entire game. If you're going to go all in, go all in. Right? Nobody who's ever banged that drum, not even Jack Nicklaus, has dared leave before the game was over. I don't think you know that. Yeah, well, I have it on good authority.

Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Okay, when we were playing golf Sunday, Christopher was shocked and flabbergasted that Kendrick Lamar and that song in particular happened to be on one of my Spotify playlists. I liked the song. I thought it was a very clever parody. by Jeremy, but I respect Juju's opinion. I value it. And if he thinks it was offensive or in any way not right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
It's a fine Venmo. If I'm being truthful, I was trying to get off my plate a loose end. Again with the loose end. A quick text Miami Herald related, but I apologize. I didn't know that my soft typing was audible.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Did a song about sad, sad Radio Row that everyone's afraid to play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Well, it's online if anybody wants to read it in its entirety. But I think what I wrote reflects how desperate the Dolphins should be right now because they made the playoffs the two previous seasons to this past season when they were 8-9.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
This team is nowhere close to being a contender in a packed AFC behind Kansas City, behind Baltimore, behind Buffalo, and another handful of teams as good or better than Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
Their defense was the best in 22 years empirically by some standards. It was not a big play defense. They had 35 sacks, which was in the bottom five of the league. They didn't have many interceptions. They were not a big play defense. They don't have any player, even with Jalen Phillips and Bradley Chubb healthy,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
They don't have a player who's going to change the way opposing offensive coordinators prepare to play Miami. They don't have anyone who's the best at his position. Tyreek Hill maybe was for his first season. He isn't now. The Dolphins have to be desperate. They have to be bold and desperate because right now they are not close to being competitive on a Super Bowl level.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
And if they don't make big swings like Miles Garrett, They're not going to do it with luck and good health and 13th overall picks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
No, no. I think quite the opposite. Now you've gone too far. Very quickly, I think you oversold Cooper Cup. Not that bold. Not that desperate, you're saying. Cooper Cup is not a Hall of Famer. He isn't yet, at any rate. He had one extraordinary season. He's completely overshadowed by Puka Nakua with good reason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Postgame Show: Spliff Notes (feat. JuJu Gotti)
As I said, he had one extraordinary season in his seven or eight year career. That was the only season he made the Pro Bowl. He's a very good receiver who is not a Hall of Fame receiver.

No, I don't. That's the thing about being married. You know, you're not allowed to say, I don't miss my wife. I've been gone two days. I haven't been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry.

It's not only what is happening in the NFL and the NBA and everywhere else. When Miles Garrett sees what LeBron James was able to do and start a revolution of players under contract being able to steer their way out, and now you have pro players seeing the transfer portal in college where college players, you know, all of a sudden Carson Beck is with the Miami Hurricanes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
And if you're Miles Garrett, you're trying to get out of that hellhole, which is Cleveland. Why not leverage whatever you have? And despite what the general manager is saying, how can you keep him if he's blatantly unhappy not being there?

I had a feeling that was coming. I did not write the column because Taylor told me to. I was writing something else when Christopher called me and says, hey, Taylor says this and this and this. I had not heard the Miles Garrett news yet, okay?

The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
When I was done, the other thing I was doing, and I found out that Miles Garrett was saying, hey, trade me, I absolutely would have written that column without a prod from anybody else. Wow. No credits. for Taylor and I. No. In this case, no.

When somebody like Miles Garrett says they want to be traded and I think there's a plausibility that the Dolphins could be in the market, I'm going to write that call.

I didn't at the time that he told me because I was writing something else. I was concentrating on something else.

All right, I want to review the last 30 seconds to one minute of this show because Dan Levitard, the man constantly calling me disoriented, just betrayed himself as not remembering that he was on Sad Sad Radio Row slightly less than one year ago. That's the man calling me disoriented. Like I said before, I'm perfectly oriented. I've got nothing going on but love and best wishes for everybody.

If I'm given a chance to speak into a mic for five minutes in a row without being interrupted and admonished. But you have a button-down shirt on. It's a beautiful button-down shirt that my wife bought me. I've taken to wearing shirts over T-shirts lately. I don't know whether that's a thing. I don't know whether that's proper, whether people do that. What are you hiding? I'm not hiding anything.

The Big Suey: Listen Here, Iowa
No, I've taken a pratfall since then. You have? Yeah, just a few months ago. Remember the face thing? My whole face was bruised. He doesn't remember that either.

But Wayne Newton pratfalling at Moss, Miami or Vega, whatever it's called.

pep talk by referring to open sores on their arms when he doesn't have any open sores you know i'm having a bad arm life granted that's why i've been wearing long shirts lately but i am perfectly fine i'm not disoriented i'm an oriented person i lead the i'm a professional at orienteering which is a little known sport i i am the opposite of disoriented and uh and all i need is an opportunity i'm no gabe but i'll tell you what you put me behind a mic again you're gonna get fire out of my mouth

And that's just 21 years in the modern era. What do you mean? Well, PFPI began in the late 60s. This was actually our 29th season overall, but our 21st continuing season.

Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
It's in the archive, the PFPI archive. We're a professionally run operation. Wait a minute, there's an archive? Yes, of course. In Canton, Dan. The Google Doc. No, it's an archive, and we're professionally run. I take my job as commissioner very seriously, even though people love to mock me. It's a family tradition.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
It's been going on in the modern era since 2004, but overall since 1968, I believe. And so... You know, I think after all of that history, after all of that heritage, we've had 10 members over the years. I think it's time to honor the pivotal members of PFPI in a newly formed PFPI Hall of Fame.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
Now, like baseball with its Hall of Fame vote, we need a 75 percent majority, meaning we need six of eight current team members to vote yay. So will that happen? I don't know, but I'm proposing that. I'm also proposing a penalty for late picks every week. Just me and Michael. Always.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

To the membership. Six other people sitting in his living room. To the eight teams.

I had it. It was your mother's grandmother's. I should have known that. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Gabe's 30 Seconds On Luka Doncic
No, I forgot mom's grandmother's name. Her mother's name was Mary Alice, but I don't know her grandmother's name. I barely met the woman. I literally barely met her. I saw her like once or twice, and she passed away. Coincidental. I had nothing to do with it. And so, no, I don't know her name. If it was told me, I would go, oh, yeah.

A PFPI Hall of Fame, yeah. The laughter when I said that was ridiculous. Particularly... Christopher's wife, my daughter-in-law, howled laughter as if I weren't serious. It's because we all know the writing on the wall. Who should be the first entry into the Hall of Fame, Dad? That's up to the voters. I'm the commissioner. I'm not lobbying for anybody.

David, as you know, there is a controversy surrounding The Brutalist and its use of post-production AI to refine some of the Hungarian accents, which affects the performance and how we perceive them of some of these actors directly. And it may actually cost The Brutalist a best picture because it seemed like all the momentum was going towards that.

Oedipus. So in the 1930s, dip didn't just mean like dipping something into something. It also was a slang term that meant fool or simpleton. So it was just basically combining that. So a fool dipped in shit.

I've got the origin of Mother Bleeper. So it's not actually bleeping one's mother. It was used like, you know how you have a huge battle, the mother of all battles. This Sunday we have the mother of all AFC games. So what this signifies is you are essentially the mother of all bleepers.

David, what's going on with this Amelia Perez thing? Because, look, for the record, I haven't seen it yet. I haven't been moved to see it. A lot of people whose opinion I value told me, like, this is not nomination worthy. And it's one thing to be nominated for a Golden Globe, but now it's nominated for Best Picture. It's got the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score by far.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Getting Right To The Meat With David Samson
Not that that's going to be the end all and be all. by it but I've just seen like isolated clips of this film and it's kind of confirming to me that it's probably not that great surely there had to be a better film to round out this nomination field for best picture no well actually
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Getting Right To The Meat With David Samson
Don't you think that the film itself didn't do the score any favors? Because in a vacuum, I loved the score too. But by the end, it was almost used comedically. And I found myself literally laughing at the score and the way that the film was using it. I guess that might be an argument for why it should be nominated. Yes, I agree. That's the best score ever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Getting Right To The Meat With David Samson
It's just like a horny alarm that goes off. Like anytime it gets horny, we play this music. It's awesome. But it's making me laugh at the end and not taking it as seriously. But I guess that's the point. I'm not supposed to take it seriously.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Getting Right To The Meat With David Samson
Well, editing's up there, but you ain't lying, especially for certain genres. For horror, there's certain movies that you can't even imagine, like Psycho or Jaws, you can't imagine without the score. I guess the score in this film becomes a character in its own right, so again, more arguments for it being nominated.

No, it's the greatest action franchise of all time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Getting Right To The Meat With David Samson
To be clear, it was a film that excited me the most. The best movie that I think I've seen all year from 2024 is probably Enora. But I have to get around. I haven't seen the bulk of the Best Picture nominations. I'll get around to every single one of them. I am a little disappointed that Nosferatu didn't crack some of the 10 best films, I thought.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Getting Right To The Meat With David Samson
It did get nominated for cinematography, which I thought was just jaw dropping in this film. So I'm happy that I'm getting you out of your comfort zone. And as you might agree, that horror is really pushing some of the most creative boundaries in cinema right now.

Ja, das war ein Ereignis. Dan war raus. Wir haben selten historische Momente, wenn Dan raus ist. Und das war einer davon. Stu Gotts fährt den Show, fährt dich direkt rein.

Perhaps we can look it up. We can answer it at the end of this segment. when Stugatz is done with his weekend observations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
Would you sign Jaden Daniels right now? Would you try to give him giant money even though the game in football lately has been... You have him on the rookie contract. Yeah, have value at quarterback. Yes, but I'm curious there whether they offer it and whether he would take it. Why would you do it now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
Just because you know you've got a great quarterback and you would be able to have him at value for a while if you did it now, whereas two or three years from now it might be more complicated to have him at value.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
Yeah. But but the reason I want to bring it up, OK, is just because not just because of the amazing sort of word salad that I got yesterday, which is DeMar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest and needed CPR. Third and eight from the Bills' 44-yard line. The same thing happened with Al Michaels.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
Al Michaels was talking about the fires, and then he's like, he's just brutal, awful, loss of humanity at home. Third and four from the Baltimore 34.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
But when we're talking about the national championship game and the season of Jessica's life that can be made... Even more amazing if they pull an upset as what I believe will be a double-digit underdog by the time the game is played. It just seems wrong for Notre Dame to have to play 15 games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
And because they've played 15 games, they've got nine or ten guys who are out with season-ending injuries. And the point spread in this game wouldn't be that if they weren't playing so many games. I'm watching Green Bay against Philadelphia. Philadelphia didn't play particularly well, but Green Bay is so hurt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
at the end of the season, that it's like they've got a guy on fourth and short or whatever, Heath, catching the ball, and he can't catch it in bounds because they've got so many receivers out. Jordan Love is throwing a normal fourth and two out. It's Jordan-like.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
I do in general. I mean, what are we doing? Well, hope trafficking, I would say. Generally speaking, very often we put too much importance in whomever is the next leader who's going to fix everything, whether he has a quarterback or not. Drake May, it's a good spot because I think most people believe that Drake May is going to grow as a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
I think that's a good take by you. I think that's well said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
I would go further than that. I would say all of us believe that his teams play tough and hard and he overachieves with teams that we didn't expect much from. And in that game that Mike is talking about, he exploited a rule. while playing against Belichick that got them extra time and outsmarted a coach in a way that we're not used to seeing when it comes to knowing how to milk a clock.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
Made a coaching move that all of us were like, wow, great coaching move. But I think all of this stuff tends to be overstated in how it is that someone arrives anywhere. He's done it the perfect way, Stugatz. He's not actually following Belichick.

Brown, as I was mentioning before, was reading a book on the sidelines during the game and has posted on Twitter because the name of the book is Inner Excellence. He is showing on Twitter that he's got a lot of passages highlighted and underlined. And he says, this game is 90% mental and 10% physical for me.

Hour 2: Will Ye Shakespeare and Weekend Observations
I bring it to every game in this book and I read it between each drive. I use it to refocus and lock in despite what may transpire in the game, good or bad. People tend to create controversy when they don't know the truth. I'm surprised that this was the first time we were seeing this, if he's doing it all the time between drives.

He did. He did. He set himself up for a joke. At the expense of his son. He threw himself an alley-oop and dunked on his son with a fat joke.

That earns a promotion of Greg Cody's podcast, The Greg Cody Show, featuring Greg Cody. It's a treat. In this week's episode. Stunningly enough, Greg Cody chronicles a chicken that lived for 18 months without a head. A literal chicken with his head cut off.

I think he's 29 or 30. Do you think the guy who monitors Deshaun Watson was so thrilled? Don't put on the boot. Dance without the boot. Please dance without the boot. And then he dances without the boot and they're celebrating. Are they not? Yes. Because that's what they want. That's what they've been looking for. Whoever has that job has been waiting for that moment for a couple of years now.

You okay? Greg, I had an idea here that I wanted to get your thoughts on. It's an idea I haven't shared with anyone yet. What if the fans, right before the playoffs, could vote out a team that is limping into the playoffs and vote in a team that got really hot at the end of the season but didn't make the playoffs?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The 70-Point Miami Dolphins vs. The 1972 Miami Dolphins
Wow. I mean, you can. You have a vote. You can vote. Well, no. If you win the division, it has to be a wild card team.

The Big Suey: The 70-Point Miami Dolphins vs. The 1972 Miami Dolphins
I was asking Chris Sims if he'd be surprised at certain AFC teams and if they made it to the Super Bowl, and he said he would be surprised by all the teams with the exception of the big three, the Chiefs, the Ravens, and the Bills. And then I asked him, what if the Bengals made it? Would you be surprised if they made it to the Super Bowl? And he said no.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Joe Burrow wins that game. Yeah.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The 70-Point Miami Dolphins vs. The 1972 Miami Dolphins
He was available to anyone. Yes, he was. It sounds like we're putting the Ravens in the Super Bowl. They have to go to Buffalo and Kansas City.

The Big Suey: The 70-Point Miami Dolphins vs. The 1972 Miami Dolphins
Lamar Jackson does have a chance here, Dan, to erase everything. Meaning if he can do this on the road against Josh Allen, on the road against Patrick Mahomes, go to the Super Bowl, beat the Lions or the Eagles, let's say. It doesn't matter who he beats once he gets through that in the AFC. He has a chance to get rid of all the doubters. No one will ever say do it in the postseason again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The 70-Point Miami Dolphins vs. The 1972 Miami Dolphins
I don't think he's going to get it done, but there is a massive opportunity for Lamar Jackson here.

I can't agree that he didn't ask for any of this. I think Bronny in effect asked for all of this. Because when he chooses to follow his father's footsteps, knowing who his father is, he knew exactly what he was getting into. He knows that if he's not a superstar instantly, that there's going to be the Stephen A. Smith type comment. You can't say he didn't know what he was getting into.

Okay. Just so you understand.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
He's bound to fail, right? Bronny is. And he must know it more acutely than anyone does. Two years from now, he may be playing on a team in China. It doesn't mean he's a failure. He's only a failure relative to the impossible footsteps of his father. If Bronny James is in business school right now, studying to be a CPA.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
If he's studying to be a CPA and wants nothing to do with basketball, it's not like Stephen A. Smith is criticizing him then by saying he's afraid of the footsteps. He should be in the NBA. No, he's in the NBA or trying to be, so it's valid criticism.

Me? I want a happy player. A happy player who I trust to perform and to be in shape enough to perform. I'm not going to make him go on a scale once a week so that he doesn't gain three pounds. If he's performing on the court, do your thing.

I mean, Bush did not endorse the Republican candidate in the last election, which is in and of itself is a pretty jarring statement. But getting back to Luca for just a minute, the time to worry about his health habits and his future conditioning is when you're negotiating the contract and signing him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
It's not after you lavish him with this deal and then you're second guessing, hey, you look a little chubby, Luca.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
But my point is, when you negotiate any contract, especially a bigger one, that's what you put into the contract. You can't go skydiving. Please don't ride a motorcycle. Stay healthy. Do this. Do that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
You can negotiate anything in a contract.

Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
too many numbers being retired in sports. I really believe that, and I think basketball's a bigger culprit than most sports. I'm looking at the career record of Kevin Love. He made two All-Star teams with Cleveland. His best years were with Minnesota. I just don't see that he's an all-time great for the Cavaliers. I really don't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
Yeah, eight seasons, two All-Star games. To me, that's not Jersey retirement. In the case of UD, that's the father of heat culture. That's the embodiment of heat culture. And heat culture has become such a brand with this franchise that you've got to honor the guy who you think embodies that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
Well, tough shit for the rest of the country. He's also the all-time rebounding leader, I believe. He is. And so that's not nothing.

You can dive in more if you want. I think you nailed it. Pardoned or whatever. Last week we were talking about the new FIU Vice hat. Okay, that's different. Which carried over to the midweek game where we had a conversation about the Vice hat. Ball one. So in reality, we're discussing caps probably about half the games to this point in the year. Yeah. And that's no cap. What's that mean?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
You know what, Corey, if you don't know. Yes, I'm just old. I'm not going to tell you. It's all right. Fortunately, I do know what cap means. Do you? I do. Cap, Riz, skibbity toilet. What? Knocked down by Andrews. A little PFP work right out of the gate. One pitch, one out. Andrews helping it himself. Well, PFPI gala, you know what I mean? Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, Mike's full of shit. He's going to cheer Marchand at the top of a mountaintop the first time he scores a winning goal for the Cats. And you know it. I mean, come on now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
I think there is no line. I think everybody in this case is right. Stephen A. Smith has every right to criticize and say what he did, not thinking that Bronny James is ever going to amount to anything. I mean, it's harsh. But if it's his truth, he's allowed to say it. It's his job to say it. I think LeBron James is perfectly entitled to get his back up because it's so personal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
And I would feel the same if the role was involving myself and Christopher. I also think Bronny James is perfectly entitled to give basketball his best shot despite his father. We're going to see the same thing with Tiger Woods' kid in a couple of years as he advances in golf. People are going to write and say he's never going to beat Tiger Woods. The kid's still allowed to give it his shot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
And it's up to Bronny to prove him wrong, right? I mean, it's up to Bronny to prove him wrong. That's why I get the feeling of all three principals in this matter. I don't think Stephen A's wrong. I don't think LeBron's wrong for getting his back up either because he's talking as a father, not as a teammate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
I am extremely excited about the Cats. They're good and not satisfied with winning one Stanley Cup. I think Marshawn is a statement that, hey, we're winning it back-to-back, Jack. And Seth Jones, not a sexy name, the defenseman, I think was just as big a signing as Marshawn, who hopefully, like Kachuk, will be back for the playoffs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
I would like Jess's opinion.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
I disagree with Mike. I think it's a very valid conversation to have. I think it interests a lot of people, fathers and non-fathers, parents and non-parents. And the rule of thumb with athletes, right, is always my family's off limits. Okay, criticize me all you want, but don't bring my family into your whole media circus. Not when they're on the roster. Well, that's the thing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Business of Being a James
That's where the line changes. That's my point. He's more than just family. He's a teammate. He's trying to be an NBA player. He's volunteered to follow in the biggest footsteps in sports. So it's way beyond family, LeBron.

Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
I forgot I thought you had a son. I could be wrong. Princess Claire may have made the top 100. Is Dan on the top 100? Not to give anything away, but Dan sort of had a disappointing rank. In fact, Dan used an expletive when we called him to congratulate him on where he had ranked. He used an expletive because he happened to have ranked one spot below Gary the Bag Rosenfeld, which I can say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

But Gary is like a Greg Cody Show Hall of Famer once we institute the Hall of Fame.

Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
Yeah, but the PFPI Hall of Fame is going to happen. Greg Lobos, too, have a great shot, in my opinion, to be a first ballot Hall of Famer there. We'll see. You know, I can't control fate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

No, we did. We went from 100 to number one. Wow. We did have an omission that I'm embarrassed about that I can't even reveal it.

Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
No, he didn't. That's what I was looking for. He's afraid of me, obviously, because he sold me a bill of goods. He told me the Levitard show is going to have its own suite, which reads open bar, if I'm being honest. But you should have a... Dan Marino had a suite.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
I know, but your team has to negotiate a better deal than four free tickets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
But it's silly. Everybody else had a suite except Levitard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
But that's not my choosing on that. That's how the Panthers do this. No, they don't. No, normally when you bang a drum, they give you a suite. You didn't negotiate the right deal.

Hour 2: Mark Needs a Vacation
Greg Cody Rhodes. No, I don't. I'm still mesmerized by Billy's performance on the air. It's unlike any other I've heard when he's broadcasting FIU baseball. I think what you need, though, you need to pipe in a little fake crowd noise because it's very, very quiet.

You need to be informative.

First of all, the Panthers are too polite to have told you this, but you're auditioning. If you blow it, then you'll never be heard from again in that arena. If you're pretty good, they might invite you back for the playoffs. If you bang the drum in the playoffs, then you've arrived. But It's an all lose situation for you. Everything could go wrong. You could be offbeat on the drum.

We'll talk about the rent and trade in a second. There's some speculation now about maybe Colorado being a potential destination for him. They could use him to play behind McKinnon on the second line. But it's harder to trade him. Elias Pettersson's trade protection doesn't kick in until the summer. He has a massive contract. He's not played up to standards this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Maybe it's because he's got a guy he hates on the team and he's not feeling it right. So they're going to have to be really careful. Like, you know, they'll get a decent return from Miller. He's an older player and with a limited, like I said, marketplace. Pedersen, they've got a nail.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Pedersen is a trade that you cannot make unless you get a lot back that's going to propel you to whatever the next phase of your team is, because that's a player with an incredibly high ceiling. 100-point centers don't grow on trees in this league. Even with diminishing returns, he still has a ton of value and could turn a number of other teams in this league around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Yeah, I mean, but I think it comes down to change of scenery, right? You know, you always see players that aren't maybe performing up to snuff that have in the past that maybe have hit their ceiling with a team or maybe just need to get out of a market and go someplace else that's maybe a little quieter. I don't know if you boys noticed, but the Vancouver...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Yeah, the Vancouver media could be a little boisterous sometimes with its coverage. I think teams look at the history of a player, their ability, what their scouts see, and aren't going to be turned off necessarily by... outside forces or beef with a teammate that might have affected a player mentally. I think both those guys have a lot of value around the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
It's just going to be a matter of if Vancouver finds the asking price. And it's also a matter... Listen, if I was Vancouver, I'd trade Miller tomorrow. Without question. you know, if you can get a decent return for him. And then I see if Pedersen's okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Then I see if without the, if you suck the poison out, if he is back to being his normal self, because I think that guy is more talented than Miller. And I think he has a chance to be one of the best offensive centers in this league when he's on his game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
So Colorado had to make a choice here, which is that you're either going to sign Ranton into what he's looking for, and he shares an agent with Leon Dreisaitl of the Edmonton Oilers, and Dreisaitl just signed the richest contract in salary cap history over the summer last year. And so he's looking for that kind of money on the open market.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
He's looking to make more than Nathan McKinnon on the Colorado Avalanche. You know, Ranton said in a couple of interviews, I was willing to take less to stay. We don't know what less means. Less still means probably like $13 million. So the issue that they had is...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
They have to pay Kael McCarr, who is the best defenseman in the world, I think, if it's not Quinn Hughes, within the next two years as his contract is up. That's going to be massive. They're already paying McKinnon. And they made the calculated risk that, one, the totality of their roster was not deep enough and talented enough to challenge for a Stanley Cup.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
So you need to open up money to be able to make the rest of your team better. And you can't do that if you're paying like 35% of your cap to three guys. And then two, the other gamble they made was you mentioned Martin Natchez. They're making the gamble that Nathan McKinnon can make anybody like 85% of Miko Rantanen. And so far, they've been smart.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
I mean, Natchez has had a great start for Colorado. And so those are the gambles they're taking. You know, if you ask around the league, I had a story on ESPN.com about the kind of behind the scenes of this deal. There's some people that feel like they were never going to pay Rantanen the money he was looking for. So I get it. But I mean, he's kind of a unicorn, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Like he's a really hard player to replace in your lineup. But I understand their logic there and not wanting to be too top heavy. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Well, first off, I checked the voting totals from the presidential election last November, and I will say that Nassau County is a safe haven for Tony D'Angelo. Okay, well, there you go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
He will work cheap. He is a guy that is clearly looking to play wherever he can. They were able to sign him for a league minimum kind of contract at a time when they had other defensemen that were injured. He is... The old saying about left-handed pitchers in baseball will always find a job, you know what I mean? It's the same thing with puck-moving defensemen in the NHL. He can put up points.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
He's not an untalented player. The question always is, is that worth all of the other stuff? And Again, this was a player who had played himself out of the league to the point where he had to go to Russia to play for the first part of the season before coming back and finding a home with the Islanders. So, again, it all eventually sours. It soured with the Rangers. It soured with the Carolina.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
It soured with the Flyers. Maybe it'll sour again with the Islanders. Who's to say? But, again, it's a risk-reward thing. And if I'm a general manager, no matter how desperate I am to address my blue line problems, I'm not taking the risk. But... So far, so good, I guess, for Tony D'Angelo and his latest stint in the NHL.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
No, I don't disagree. I mean, like, I think hockey overall has always had a problem broadening the tent to bring in more people into hockey fandom, to get more people playing hockey. And I don't disagree that when you have somebody that has that kind of history, and for those that don't know, I mean, he was suspended as a junior player.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
for usually using racially insensitive language when he was a younger player. To have guys like that get fourth or fifth chances in this league is not necessarily a good thing. I don't disagree with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
And it's two things. I mean, it's two different issues, right? Like on the one hand, it's, you know, what can the NHL do to to help influence that and help change the culture? And I think that they've definitely made some mistakes, in my opinion, in recent years. I'm pretty well on the record about the pride jersey issue. And then the other thing, too, is just hockey culture writ large.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
I mean, that's the other part of it, too, is what happens behind closed doors. I mean, I don't think in any way that Tony D'Angelo is an outlier in this league. I think there's probably a lot of those guys that are in this league that we just don't hear a lot about mainly because they don't decide to make podcasts. But yeah, that's the other issue, too, is like, what is the hockey culture?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Like, if you're a young player that wants to, a young athlete that wants to get into hockey, you know, what does it look like on those lower levels insofar as making you feel welcome, making you feel like you have a path, and making you feel like you're not gonna be ostracized? And that's always been a challenge for the sport.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
I was going to ask you about that. I saw you mention that. When you talk about them sucking, and I agree, I think they struggle because most of the jerseys that they make for Team USA are based on the Miracle on Ice team or the other team that won gold back in the 60s. And then whenever they try to modernize it, it ends up sort of looking like...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
I don't know, like something from a video game where they don't have the rights to the United States of America, so they have to come up with something. In your mind's eye, what would you like a Team USA jersey to look like if these are unsatisfactory? I would have to go traditional in this situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
I would like there to be a couple variations. First of all, I would like to see what happens if we don't use the letters USA. What if we just put America?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
The Empire, maybe something on there. And then the other thing I'm wondering, too, is like, I think part of the problem is that if you have your primary colors are blue and red and white, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Like, you could have a white jersey, and every other jersey we've ever made is blue. We've never had a red jersey, and the problem is that those bastards in Canada have covered the market on red, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Don't want to be like the Ruskies. Yeah, two of our greatest enemies, both, you know, economically and in hockey, Canada and the Soviet Union. Like, they've cornered red for years and years and years. So, you know, if we wanted to kind of, like, change it up a little bit, I don't think that we're allowed to because those two sworn enemies of freedom are the ones that wear red all the time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Well, it's a personal beef that has gone on for years. Like Bruce Boudreau, who coached Vancouver a few years ago, said that it was something ongoing when he arrived. So like there's been friction between these two. You know, I think we forget that this is a workplace, right? These are companies. It's like not liking the guy three cubicles over when he's over at the snack machine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
You're not going to the snack machine because you literally hate this person's guts and makes you feel terrible coming to work every day just because of something that happen between you or just a personality conflict. And that's kind of where Patterson and JT Miller are. I think it's probably a little bit more JT Miller than Elias Patterson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Trades, Fifth Chances, and the Spicy Ramen Challenge (feat. Greg Wyshynski)
Miller has a reputation for being a little prickly behind the scenes. Where it ends up, I don't know, because Miller has a full no movement clause. And so even though a trade with the New York Rangers came very close in recent weeks before kind of falling apart, You know, he's going to be able to control his destiny. And so, you know, Carolina obviously off the table.

I think they're going to be much better than people think. The betting over under of six, six and a half wins.

As a matter of fact, the Dolphins are the most bet over team in terms of exceeding the win projection. Levitar, two minutes.

No, no is the answer.

His career ultimately is going to be seen as a disappointment. As somebody who was so great individually, but ultimately underachieved.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
And it couldn't be further from the truth to say that he was silent until he was out of work all last season. He was not silent. I think he means as a starter. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Yeah, absolutely. Right? No doubt. Yeah. The trouble with this whole, is he being blackballed? Is he being ostracized? Of course he's being ostracized, but the blackball argument is just impossible to prove, especially with a quarterback... who's in that gray area of, is he good enough? He's pretty good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
I agree with that. And I would like Roger Goodell to step out front and say, I wish a team would give Colin Kaepernick a chance. Just that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Well, because he's saying publicly that he doesn't think there's anything wrong going on here. Does he really believe that? Because it's hard to think that he really believes that when he sees some of the other quarterbacks being signed. You know, 64... More than that, because some teams keep three quarterback positions, three quarterbacks on the roster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
Let's say there's 75 quarterback jobs in the NFL. Colin Kaepernick, who just a couple of years ago was seen as one of the great rising young multidimensional quarterbacks in the league, now he's out of work. It stretches credulity. It just doesn't make sense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 8
The weird thing is it's going to take the team most likely to need Kaepernick is the dysfunctional team, the really bad franchise. But I think the team most likely to sign him is going to be the franchise with a backbone in its ownership, with a strong coach like a Mike Tomlin.

Seattle would have been a perfect landing spot for him, I think, for a bunch of reasons.

Who knows a year of their clothing? It's not an automobile. Okay, that hasn't been ironed in a decade. I'm driving a 1989 shirt. You know, nobody knows a year of a shirt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The only interesting thing about this shirt, it's not made out of cloth. It's actually made out of paper.
