The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
It's been a very chaotic day, okay? Greg Cody came in here and he basically fouled up our plans. We had a plan in which we were gonna talk in the local hour about the Marlins losing Jorge Soler, one of their big home run hitters. The Marlins now... Ihr Farmsystem ist ein Mess. Jetzt haben sie ihren großen Home-Run-Hitter verloren. Und sie fallen schmerzhaft hinter den Finanzen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Derrick Jeter hat hier alles verdammt. Es ist ein Desaster mit den Marlins. Er hat das Farmsystem gebildet, bevor er weg war.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Chris Cody, sie sind, wenn nicht die Engels, das schlechteste Farmsystem. Sie haben einen Prospektmeier in den Top 100 und er ist in den 90ern. Sie haben nichts.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Sie haben nichts und sie sind jetzt hinter der Division.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
But we were going to figure out a way for Lucy to come in and get involved with Marlins talk. And I asked her, how do we get you involved?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And so we had, that's right, we had fake guns that we were going to use, even though that's probably not, you know, safe anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Well, but here's the problem we have. Let me tell you something.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Es klingelte wie Jennifer Coolidge. Lass mich dir was sagen! Es war, aber es war nicht Fire Marshall Bill. Es war Brill. Es war... Anyways, back to the show. Es war klar nicht Fire Marshall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ja, ich meine... Lass mich dir was sagen! Das ist eine gute Show!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Anyway, what Lucy was trying to do is clear the vibes in the room because today's show has had a lot of emotion. Greg Cody came in and just was really in love with the smell of his own farts and should have been in love with the smell of his farts. It was a good week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Because it hasn't been about him. Und Greg Cody ist die Energie von Tuesdays. Und also bitte, Lucy, kannst du den Raum leeren? Kannst du die Vibes der Raum leeren, bitte?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ja, wir können es machen. Ich habe große Vorteile davon bekommen, dass ich in den Morgen Atemübungen mache, um den Geist zu stören. Ich glaube nicht, dass es gutes Audio ist. Ich würde es nicht ausdrucken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Better than you guys think he is. Stugatz had the lane. When the quarterback wins, I celebrate the quarterback. That's football, that's easy. Except with the Chiefs. Except he went the other way. He had the same lane Nick Wright had. Aber Stugatz hat sich überlegt, ich werde die Chiefs fragen, ich werde Mahomes fragen, ich werde die schlechtesten Töne in der Geschichte dieses Geschäftes haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich versuche etwas zu tun. Lern die verdammten Regeln. Warte, wir brauchen mehr Atem. Mach es in der Superbowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Was meinst du mit machen in der Superbowl? Atmen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Er hat drei Doppel-Digit-Leads. Okay, mehr Atem. Er schockiert das Tor.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
If you're good enough to lead by double digits in the Super Bowl, you're good enough to win the Super Bowl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Four different leads. Three different leads. Three different leads. If you're gonna talk, use your whisper voice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich fühle mich gut. Lass deine Arme raus.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
So, Greg, let's celebrate you here before we get out of here. You have been a bullion for a full week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Und jetzt vertreten Sie Kyle Shanahan. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Don Libetard. Who is the comedian? Is it James Mulvaney? How do you pronounce his... John Mulaney? There you go, thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
$2, yeah. Yeah, that's a bad find. Wow, everybody started shaking their head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Stugatz! Put it on the poll, Guillermo. Is John Mulvaney the most popular columnist at Leopard?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Er ist der Co-Host von All The Smoke. Wir haben es euch schon gesagt, wir sind stolz auf all die Produktionen von All The Smoke. Wir starten dieses Draftkings-Netzwerk für alle. Er und Steven Jackson sind zwei der ersten, zusammen mit McAfee und ein paar anderen Geschäftsmann, die eine Länge erkannt haben, die für sie spezifisch ist, wo sie Content machen können und eine zweite Karriere haben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
after their playing days. So I'm proud of a lot of the stuff they're making. Bullyball with Rachel Nichols and Boogie Cousins, Taken in the Truth, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. And you can hear him with Steven Jackson interviewing Keyshawn Johnson, Rod Strickland, Snoop Dogg here. I don't know. The last time I saw you, you were excited about one of these that wasn't even on here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
It was three hours with somebody. I won't mention it. But what else do you have coming up here, Matt? Because you guys have been doing a lot of these and they're very popular.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Nein, er hat mich abgewogen. Es klingelte, als würde ich ihn bewegen. Das war nicht das, worüber ich gesprochen habe.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Nein, das war nicht das, worüber ich gesprochen habe. Ich sprach über jemanden anderen. Wie ging es mit Keyshawn? Das ist der neueste, oder?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ohne zu überschreiten, muss ich dir sagen, dass Steven Jackson und Matt Barnes, einer der vielen Gründe, warum ich sie genieße, ist, weil sie in dieser Liga 15 Jahre lang gearbeitet haben, um sich in jedes Umfeld zu befinden, immer ihr authentischstes Selbst zu sein, immer ein guter Mann zu sein. Und deshalb ist es die Medienbranche, die sie jetzt bauen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And people are going to be comfortable sitting next to them. Also, I want to put this in front of you, Matt, because I know you're competitive and I know you're a businessman. Shannon Sharp has arrived in the space very loudly and very well. And he is exceptional at doing what he's doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And now it is elevated to where he is fighting Mike Epps because of something that Cat Williams said on the podcast. And so I want to play this sound for the audience and for Matt Barnes and get his take on this. Ja. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Real quick, Matt, ich will deine Gedanken, ich will all deine Gedanken, aber hier ist Mike Epps, weil du nicht mit den Komedien gehst, du musst vorsichtig sein mit den Komedien, also hier ist Mike Epps, komm zurück an ihn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Wenn ich dich bitte kurz aufrufen darf, was du daraus entwickelt hast, neben dir und Steven, ist, dass alle in etwas gehen, was sie wissen, dass es authentisch ist. Und aus dem Ausdruck sind sie sich zufrieden. Sie sind sich zufrieden in deiner Interviewsituation. Du bist kein professioneller Interviewer, du versuchst sie sich zufrieden zu machen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Was ist das denn? Gossip. Warte einen Moment, Matt. Was Shannon Sharpe jetzt entwickelt hat, und das ist keine kleine Sache, ist ein Ort, wo schwarze Comics und schwarze Menschen fühlen, als ob sie frei sprechen können, auch wenn es andere zerstört. Es gibt nicht viele Wege dafür. Es gibt Wert dafür.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Matt, lass uns über diesen Teil reden, denn du warst berühmterweise jemand, mit dem man nicht geträumt wird. Wenn du also diese Sprache sprichst, und es sind Freunde von Freunden, und wir reden darüber, dass Shannon Sharpe zu den Memphis Grizzlies gestürzt wurde. Er sollte nicht das, was er jetzt hat, wegwerfen, um mit Mike Epps zu kämpfen. Das wäre ziemlich dumm.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
I want to play for you some sound from Club Che Che. Monique, well, not the sound from Club Che Che. Monique went on with Shannon Sharp and said that while she loves Shaquille O'Neal, she would not listen to anything he says because he cannot keep a woman, because he is not someone who will open up to a woman.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And Shaq was asked about this by Adam Lefkoe, and his response was a word salad that kind of denied it, but made it clear that he doesn't trust opening up to women.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
I know a lot of men who speak that way, who just don't put anything on the woman, hide it as if she doesn't see through you because they're better and stronger than we are. Can you explain what you just saw there in the general distrust that can be found when you reach Shaquille O'Neal's level of superstardom?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich spreche von mir persönlich aus. It leaves you alone though, Matt. It leaves you alone. She loves him and she's saying he's got no woman. He's alone. And she loves him. She's not trying to rip him. She's saying, God, I want better for you. Be less alone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
I will tell you that I sat down for a couple of hours with Steven Jackson for Friday's South Beach Session. Not three hours, just a couple of hours for the most recent South Beach Session. And he talked about some of this stuff and told some of the most amazing stories that I have heard. Because he too has been hurt by women in a way that keeps a great many scars.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And I think people will find that interesting. But before I get you out of here, Matt, I'm just curious, because I do not know what happened here. You had a public incident this week that some people were videotaping you threatening to slap the shit out of someone. I would not want for you to be threatening to slap the shit out of me under any public or angry circumstances.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Clearly Matt Barnes in the wrong here, an out of control menace filled with fury and reputation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Matt, did you burp earlier? Yes, there was a tremendous burp. There was somewhere in there, I was asking you a question, I heard someone burp and I thought it was Greg Cody with Vegas. Yeah, it was. But was it Greg Cody or was it Matt Barnes? There was a tremendous... No, it wasn't me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Alright, so it was Greg Cody. Somebody burped, man. It was the biggest burping show in history. So that was your contribution to the Matt Barnes conversation. It was a good burp, though. All the smoke productions on YouTube. We do want to mix our audiences and you saw with tenor and tone there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
I'm glad you did talk about it because there is a TMZ-ization of things and now you have this reputation. The reputation that I would like to help you show people, you and Steven, more of your personality because it is not limited. You don't mind fighting in an alley if you have to, but we'd like it to not come to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
We all saw it. We saw the video. Your body slammed in. It was obvious. You were aggressive. You were very aggressive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
I hear you. Thank you, Matt. Good talking to you again, sir. All right, guys. We'll talk soon. See you, Matt.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
This is an obvious take. He's not wrong.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Billy, this is what Stugatz is going to do. And he's going to box you in at every turn. I haven't been boxed in once yet. None of these made any sense. No, this is the only way that it makes sense. Did you know the rules?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich weiß die Regeln. Der Ort, an dem er dich gebockt hat, ist hier, Billy. Es ist ein einfacher rhetorischer Trick. Genialist. Weiß die Regeln. Yeah, he should know the rules. Now, I do believe he knew the rules, and I don't believe his hit in the head a lot of times, use check, concussion, fullback, necessarily knows all of the rules. And Foxworth has said... Lie in that spot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Just lie so your coach doesn't have to deal with the idiocy of Stugatz attacking when look, Stugatz, I want to just show you this clip of Peter King and Andy Reid talking about the end of the game. It was the last play of the game and we think this sport is easy and we think we know more than these coaches. Just listen to him explain to Peter King.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
By the way, Peter King, 50 years doing this and asking the most remedial of questions because this is all complicated shit that we think is easy and you idiot. Know the rules, Shanahan. Watch this at the end of... This was the last play of the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich fühle mich, als ob ich Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting die Mathematik-Board schaue, aber am Ende hat Andy Reid einfach ein bisschen Mustard und Ketchup drauf. And you realize that he's not speaking Mandarin, that I don't understand anything he's saying. It's just a corn dog with some mustard and some ketchup. And now, Peter, clearly that's your language, just like it's mine.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And Peter's like, what, why, why? I've been covering football for 50 years. Why do I, why?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
And he and Hall. So and so and such and such and he and Hall.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
All right, well, Chris, have at it, because this is... Stugatz is going... Look, the greatest of all the Stugatz's positions, all of them, is great game. Let me see if I can come over here and fire somebody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Es ist ein so guter Show, Stugatz hat nur gesagt, fang ihn an. Er weiß nichts. Er hat Kornhund-Brett. He smells like Vegas for 10 days. Shanahan doesn't know the rules. I would out-corn-dog him with more ketchup and more mustard if they gave me the playbook.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
What percentage of our audience knew the exact rules?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
after we got it wrong he got it wrong so many times you couldn't trust him he got it wrong so many times Lucy I just like some assistance from you on the following because I do find great the ratings better than ever on football monster ratings more successful than ever amazing Taylor Swift now has they have fans that are girls and women because football wins football always wins
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
However, last year, no one seemed to care that there should have been a giant turf controversy and the results were decided by no one being able to stand up on the field, slipping and sliding all over the place. And this year ends with, and let's be honest about this, this is funny as a way of measurement, most people listening to this did not know the rules at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich denke ehrlich, dass einige dieser Emotionen in den letzten 10 Tagen oder so, weil Stugatz getrunken, getrunken, gefeiert und Sex mit Las Vegas gemacht hat. Ich denke, dass Stugatz es verpasst hat, und ich sage das gleiche, wenn es so ist, dass ich ihn kümmere und über die emotionalen Momente in diesem Thema spreche.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
The question I'm asking you is, do you not find it amazing that our most amazing analyzed sport, that at the end it would come down to one time the guys couldn't stand up on the field and the second time we don't know the rules at the end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
The vibes were good when we were just talking. Can you send me to the penalty box? That bad, Hunt. Vibes are bad. I need a breather. How about this? How about all the vibes, the rest of us, go to the penalty box and you just sit here and just clean out the vibes. Can you clean them out? I love that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Ich denke, eines der Dinge, die Stugatz in den letzten Tagen verpasst hat, das mich gelacht hat und mich bewegt hat, nicht wie ich mit Greg Cody hier bewegt wurde,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
Don Libetard. The Clevelander Hotel sits on a famous strip of land and it's a party palace. There are sometimes these conventions that roll through here that are terrifying. A couple weeks ago it was the Bitcoin people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
is to watch Nick Wright toy with the media game and arrive at full clownhood where he wins the media game, he's got a following in FS1, Skip Bayless is on his way out, Cowherd is building his own empire so he can sell it to somebody else. And Nick Wright is the face of that network now with the controversial takes of... Patrick Mahomes is great, LeBron James is great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Lucy's Meditation
It's a lot of metal, man. I mean, listen to me, Roy. I love Miami. That music has made me consider moving.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
It's called the de minimis threshold.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
We really try to be a brand that does not identify as what you would call the traditional grandpa shoes.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
We really try to be a brand that can be attractive to just about anybody and to relieve the pain that a lot of people feel on a daily basis. I wear Crews every day and got them on right now.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
I'm wearing Adam 2 at the moment.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
Yeah, de minimis is a great advantage for us. For example, during 2024, we shipped 100% of our products to customers in the U.S., and we're able to avoid the duties and tariffs through that method.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
During the calendar fiscal year of 2024, we saved over $2 million in tariffs.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
Yeah, for our Chinese product right now, for our sneakers, for example, the Adam 2 that I'm currently wearing, the tariff rate is 172.5% as of today.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
Yeah, for sure. So if you assume an example of a pair of shoes at $175, it would be $302 in tariffs.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
Without the de minimis limits and with the current tariff situation, we have had to raise prices. We have had to start charging for shipping, and it's painful. We've already seen an impact as a result of raising prices, and we just don't have the margin to recover all of the tariff costs.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
You know, the Nikes of the world or the Adidas probably could work something out like that, right? But we just unfortunately don't have that kind of mass market volume.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
For the moment, we've been able to mitigate the financial impacts through much of this year. But if the tariffs remain in place as they are today through, I would say, probably late Q3, early Q4, it's going to become existential. It is very, very troubling. And it's going to get very, very expensive very, very quickly.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
We're trying to look for other places to source. And we do know and expect, as has been indicated by the administration, that the de minimis limits will go away for all countries at some point.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
Well, the ideal state would be no tariffs, right? But of course, you know, we know that there's an intent behind what the Trump administration is trying to do. But right now, we just don't know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen. Businesses need predictable opportunities to make money.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
When the economy or the environment is not predictable, it's really hard for a business like ours to provide a product or service at a reasonable price to the consumer. If we can predict it, we can build it into our cost model. It may be painful, it may not be what we want, but at least it's predictable.
The Journal.
A Tariff Loophole Just Closed. What That Means for Online Shopping.
With the elimination of the de minimis, it's been really, really tough for us to determine what the next step should be.
