I remember in the Dracula book, he's on a ship, Dan. Doesn't he take a ship to England?

Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
He coaches in the NFL now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Oh, look at that.

Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
We can't have an eighth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Isn't it a Spike TV? Wasn't that the channel that used to replay all the Bonds around Christmas time? This is the best time of year to watch all the Bond movies. There's usually TV marathons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Yeah, but there's nothing like turning on cable over the Christmas vacation and just seeing seven Bonds in a row.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I have a hot take about Timothee Chalamet on game day. I'm a big Timothee Chalamet fan. Love his work with all of Greta Gerwig's films.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
He's a 28-year-old man, and people were losing their minds that he knew anything about football. I'm sorry. Since when do we just assume theater kids don't watch any sports? He lives in New York. He probably gambles on the weekends on the MAAC championship game like we all do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Ohio spanked Miami.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Oh, I did. Tell us.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I asked Elvis.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
No, but they told him to do the Elvis accent the whole time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Dan, did you like Elvis?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
All I'm saying is that if any other 28-year-old man were on college game day and was doing college football picks, you guys wouldn't be like, oh my God, he knows football?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
No, Lordy, duh.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
The one who was dating Sabrina Carpenter. We were all on the same page as David. It ended badly. Yes. You could say that again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Say it again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
That's fine. Hateful Eight's a terrible movie. She doesn't like Hateful Eight.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
We would have not even watched it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Roy, did you play it on your cruise ship?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Ah, you can't handle the truth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
He was on Survivor, of course. This is very of his genre.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Don't they have a beef going back to like 2021 when Jimmy's agent called him like an ambulance chaser or like a clickbait chaser or something like that? Like they have, this is a longstanding feud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Am I remembering this right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
And everything's going through Shams right now, right? Because Woj is not in the game anymore. So he's getting a ton of this information. He probably got a lot of sources that were people that were going for Woj. My question is, why don't the Heat just be like, nope, not true. Shut it down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Oh, is he from the Kraven movie? The New Bond. I found out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I haven't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Nosferatu. Oh, that's what I know him from. Did you see it? Was it good?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
David, enough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
I could see what they were going for.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
So are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? Which one's Pattinson?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Neither of you guys know what it is, so you're not allowed to talk about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Shams Called Out Over Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors
Didn't Warner Herzog make a Nosferatu in the 70s?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Which one was your favorite, Billy?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Oh, those are the butterscotch tahini sesame bars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Ollie also reported there was a 400-page manifesto, which apparently was not true. True?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
The slow report hasn't even posted it yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Inside Carolina did report that the deal was being finalized before ESPN said that the deal was being finalized.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Well, the manifesto piece is crucial. Was there a manifesto or was there no manifesto?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Before Chris farted. Well, because Billy was like, oh, if Taylor can get on Feinbaum, then what is the point of Feinbaum?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Well, he probably didn't want to make Jason do a bunch of extra work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I thought his Feinbaum appearance was great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He broke real legit Bill Belichick going to North Carolina. Biggest college football story of the year, Dan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He just started ripping Schefter. No, because he called out Schefter, and they said, oh, we got to get this off. Like, we can't do this to one of our partners.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
There's a kind of self-awareness from Chris that I love.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Lucy, if you change your mind and you want to go to the Notre Dame game, I'm pretty sure I could get you a credential that way. But my tickets are accounted for. I'm sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
They weren't doing anything. I think that part's confirmed. The drones haven't hurt anybody. Right. But there are apparently drones in the sky in New Jersey and New York that... And Boston. And like northeast places where they... People on the ground are like, whoa, what is this? These are UFOs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
But this secondary market, the tickets are so expensive for that game. It's going to be 20 degrees. People are going to spend thousands of dollars to sit there in snow. I'm worried about the toll road. Whiteout conditions on the toll road?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I'm excited. I got to do winter coat. It's going to be great. You found one? I did find one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I'll do a fit check on Friday. I'll send you a video.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I cannot go to Myrtle Beach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Ooh, Northern Illinois is playing in the Potato Bowl. Hawaii Bowl? Revenge game for me. They do the French fry dump. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
They hired, like, GE engineers to make it an actual toaster. It's ridiculous. This is the kind of energy we need from bowl sponsors.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Oh, an actual resurrection of a dead body. Wow.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
And you're playing a team, Iowa State, that was also one game away from making the playoff. These are two playoff bubble teams. It should be a great game if everyone decides to play, which it sounds like Cam Ward is playing. They keep asking, and he's like, I already said yes, I'm playing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
And then the government's like, no, these are probably just aircraft or like maybe there are some drones, but they're not like foreign drones that are going to kill people, which is what some people think they are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
You're right that it does seem like they play there a lot. But last year they did play actually somewhere else. They played at the Pinstripe Bowl. That was the game they lost to Rutgers. So that one wasn't in Orlando.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Did you vote for him for the Heisman?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
He wants to talk about the walking tacos at the University of Texas Stadium.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Yeah, I mean, I think that having a player that you coach, recruit and coach, and then transfers with you, win the Heisman, is just a tremendously huge accomplishment as a head coach. And then having your son, who will probably be a first-round draft pick, in the NFL. I don't know how it gets better than two great players like that. One wins the Heisman, the other is your actual son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Not only is it going to be difficult to replace that level of production, but also the family dynamic. These are his family. So yeah, great season. Obviously disappointing they didn't end up making the Big 12 championship game. They were close. But huge improvement from last year and two really great success stories.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Drone this, drone that. Enough about Virginia Tech football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
I didn't know that. Thank you. Calling a Manning.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
They may have a family section. You may be able to get a ticket from a Manning, Lucy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Do we know him at all?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Do you know him, Dan? Dabo was very excited about the prospect of meeting him at the game on Saturday. He could pull some strings, I think.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Who Broke The Bill Belichick News?
Rose can't go. She's out of town. Wait, does Taylor have Matt Brown's number? He probably has Texas connections.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
While we're talking Heisman, I want to play a clip from our show. This is from September 16th, week three of the season, when Travis Hunter was plus 3,500 to win the award. If we're being honest...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yeah, I was fine with it. I mean, if I had to vote, which I don't have one, I don't know how one goes about getting one, but I'm interested if anybody who has that power is listening. I would have voted for Gentee, but it's also like... I think you just have to look at it in the sense that Ashton Gentry has had one of the best seasons we've ever seen for a running back in college football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
He was so close to breaking Barry Sanders' record, and he sat out a lot this season because Boise State was blowing people out. It just happened to happen the year that there's a generational talent playing on both sides of the ball. I think either of them would have been a great choice. I would have voted for Gentry, but it's hard to look at Travis Hunter, what he's done,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
The fact that he's playing two positions and playing them both incredibly well and say that he doesn't deserve the Heisman. I think this is it was exciting to have a vote where it felt kind of close, though, where you really didn't. I think we kind of knew Travis Hunter was going to win, but like it wasn't just a blowout. We know Jaden Daniels was going to win last year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And so I'm fine with it either way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yeah, I tune in with, like, 20 minutes left because it's, what, an hour-long program and you don't find out the winner until late. Like, I watch enough college football that I know their backstories. I've seen the clips from their families. I've seen the game day specials. So, like, I don't necessarily feel like I'm seeing a whole lot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And it's also, like, half of it is just them going through all the Heisman winners who showed up. I said, oh, I saw you last year. Yeah. It's cool.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I did think it was cool that Lil Wayne was there. I think everyone should be able to bring a celebrity with them. And it was so funny because Travis Hunter won and was like, I've actually never listened to Lil Wayne before until recently. You're like, well, he's here with you at the Heisman Ceremony.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
My favorite Ashton Gentry stat, and there are a lot of them, is that if you just counted his yards after contact, he would be the second leading rusher in the nation behind himself. That's crazy. It's like, I wish that like... I think he is a little bit at a disadvantage playing for Boise State, obviously, for a few reasons.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
One of which being that, you know, it's not as easy to find on TV and it's West Coast, so it's late at night. But, like, what he did is literally insane. Like, he had a season we're not going to see again for a long, long time. And I think Jess's point is so great that it's like, if you could do all of that and still not win the Heisman, like, it's just, it's tough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But it's also like he lost to Travis Hunter, someone who very much also deserved it. Also, I would have voted for Riley Leonard if I had a vote.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
This whole administration is just very senior spring right now. Who cares? It doesn't matter. Everything is bad. Why not?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
No, it's not the pardon.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yeah, the pardon's going to his son.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Yeah, I think my dad would teach me a lesson. He'd be like, hey, shouldn't have done all that fraud. I want you to sit and think about what you've done. See you in 20 years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It's like voting for Jill Stein. Like, what did you accomplish?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I think they celebrated Christmas in the 50s.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
No, they taste good. They're not healthy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
But you'd get aggregated. And that's probably what you want for your birthday, right? Only if he's in costume, Lucy. Never mind.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
If you want to get aggregated, you got to go on air. What? You got to go. Like just die on air.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It's like a guttural reaction. You just make a noise.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
He's not dead. He's not dead.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And then you look at Josh Allen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
The most annoying play. The pocket breaks down. It's like, okay, keep him in the pocket. You don't do that. He gets out of the pocket. It's like, okay, he's running to the sideline. He's going to run out of bounds. He's going to throw it away. Nope. Across his body, darts it 30 yards for a 45-yard reception.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Scamper. No one scampers like Patrick Mahomes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
It's a good scamper.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
And hey, defenders. Once he passes the line of scrimmage, you don't have to fall for that deke. He always is like deking somebody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
I'm just saying. I know I would be bad at that, but hey, linebacker that's done this his entire life, learn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Travis Hunter Wins The Heisman
Punching it out? Yeah. If they were sexual punches, then that would be a different story.
